"We find that exposure to an accusation of misinformation or disinformation lowered the perceived credibility of the video but did not affect policy preferences related to the content of the video. Furthermore, more extreme disinformation accusations were perceived as less credible than milder misinformation labels. The effects lasted over a period of three days and still occurred when there was a delay in the label attribution. These findings indicate that while
mis- and disinformation labels might make authentic content less credible, they are themselves not always deemed credible and are less likely to change substantive policy preferences."

Kind of reflects my intuitive opinion. Insofar as it is about politics, people have already made up their minds.

Then, you have also the great risk that if you label something as fake that ends up being not fake, or vice versa, you lose your credibility pretty quickly. I haven't seen much discussion about these risk issues from stakeholders.

Given that ML models are trained with these fact-checking databases, I'd like to see also some replication checks about the validity of such training data.

it's not built into our text format (our being us,-unix-before-unicode). It's built into the terminal.

The file format is 8-bit clean as it should be, any other values are going to have to be out-of-band. The unix stream format follows the file format, with the exception of

the terminal format (and the comms format) is 7-bit ascii with varying amounts of ANSI control, but that's on you, you bought the terminal...
Should lawn darts be illegal? There's a good argument to say it shouldn't be sold as a toy for children, but in terms of it's danger to the public there's a whole host of adult activities that cause considerably more capacity for harm that are considered acceptable and legal.
That's the sentence I thought you meant, but you're just reading it wrong. This doesn't support your radical statement. "General knowledge of what you wantl is perfectly fine and doesn't block discoverability, that's also how you discover a lot of things on the web

It's also wrong, for example, you can discover all the file operations by typing in "file" in the search box even if it's your first rodeo

Also, search box can list all the commands as some commands palettes do in other apps, so you can just scroll to discover 100% of listed commands. It can also show categories, that's, for example, how I discover 100% of commands for some plugin by typing its name and reading the list of commands in the search results

Btw, this problem doesn't go away with the menu (like mentioned in another thread): it's hard to discover by looking through a huge nested list, especially when this list is poorly organized like in Gimp, and incomplete, and not context dependent

So no, search is on the same side of discoverability, and the op doesn't claim otherwise, that's your mistaken interpretation
The Nation Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project spawned by the Federal Highway Administration and the Build America, Buy America Act has picked open standards required for federal funding, but articles like this make me wish government would also fund open innovation to create open infrastructure knowledge how & solutions.

The government is funding installations, who in most cases buy and have some role in deploying typically off the shelf solutions. It just seems like it's been such a long sad slow movement, with so many reports of flakey reliability and poor systems. It doesn't feel like the industry is really on a positive treadmill or whatever towards success, towards getting better. Private industry doesn't seem like it's doing a good job serving this infrastructure need. I kind of just want the government to fund some open research & development with public access clauses to figure out how to do the job well and cost effectively. A couple hundred million spent making the industry not suck & have an healthy open baseline for competing atop seems like it's quasi necessary if EV charging is going to ever mature past the stagnancy point it's been stuck at for so long.

That said, it's been 9 months since the FHA passed the rules for how charging systems need to work for federal money. Maybe the industry can self correct, will be incentivized to muster up, and can start meeting reliability requirements specified for funding. Maybe these incentives are enough. But it sure seems like something that feels uncompetitive, that Supercharger alone is playing to win & most of the rest of the industry has accepted meh only sort of works deeply un-integrated barely effective multi-organizational hacking it out.

> Sunlight that is scattered off the roof can scatter back off other roofs before heading into space.

… but that's not what they're asking about?

Imagine you're standing in a second story window, looking out. Out the window, you're seeing your neighbor's roof, coated with this stuff. A lot of sun is hitting that roof — How much heat is coming in through that window, off that roof?

There have been stories in the past of reflective surfaces cooking nearby apartments, so I get the concern. I think in this case it boils down to it not being reflective, mostly, so it's fine.
Yes, because they speak Spanish. But you call it Spanish, not "Español". That's the point.

There are perfectly fine English words for what the Spanish call "Español" ("Spanish"), and what the Germans call "Deutsch" ("German"), and what the Indonesians call "Bahasa Indonesia" ("Indonesian"), and what the French call "Français" ("French"), and what the Chinese call "普通话" ("Mandarin"), and what the Persians call "Farsi" ("Persian").
> The researchers did not, as they originally hypothesized, find an association between any infection to T. gondii and frailty. But they did find that, among those infected, those with higher "serointensity" or a higher concentration of antibodies to the parasite, were significantly more likely to be frail.

> Higher serointensity could reflect a more virulent or widespread infection, multiple infections or recent reactivation of a latent infection, the authors said.

So... what I am getting from this is, "Generally speaking, there is a possible connection between adults who have had major or repeat infections and frailty in old-age," with zero indication of correlation between Toxoplasma gondii infections in particular and frailty.

Garbage and misleading headline, the article literally states "The researchers did not, as they originally hypothesized, find an association between any infection to T. gondii and frailty."

I'd be concerned about that falling extra-heavily on homeless people in some way. If someone were already stuck sleeping on a park bench, it'd be kind of unfair to ding them again for not being tipsy or high "back in their own home."

Analogy doesn't make sense for people who use drugs recreationally because they need some sort of logic that justifies their own behavior and fits with their morals as well. That is the only time the analogy doesn't make sense.

The logic is pretty straightforward: You eliminate the source of drugs you eliminate drugs. The problem is the complexities surrounding the word "eliminate".

I think the most effective way to win the drug war is to initiate vicious man hunts and executions on people who sell highly addictive and dangerous drugs. See Singapore. They did it effectively.

That being said there are other places that legalized drugs and that helped with the drug problem but the logic here isn't as straightforward. It's the complexities that make it work and dealing with complexities is next to impossible. We can't even fully articulate why it worked in these places and replicating it will be hard if not impossible.

The drug war largely didn't work because of complexities. There's so much bureaucracy surrounding getting to the root of the problem and putting someone in jail. Singapore just executes you if you sell hard drugs. You're done. That's an effective deterrent and it is PROVEN to work.

Whether that method is moral or justified is a different story, but in terms of easiest, most effective and most practical method this is the best possible way. The path forward is right there, we know how to do it.

The blocker here is morality and people like you. You likely use drugs and you don't want to be executed. You want to use these things recreationally and straddle the line between abuse and responsible use. Nothing wrong with your viewpoint, but personally speaking, I would completely eliminate recreational/responsible drug use if it meant saving lives and improving society.

I mean it's your right to use drugs, but at the same time I don't want to walk through SF smelling shit, piss and avoiding junkies. So when you're rights infringe on public spaces then that's a problem.

A lot of that functionality was neutered in Win10 and even more was totally removed in Win11, imo the issue is that apparently all the UX devs at microsoft use macs and are trying to MacOS-ize windows.

Specifically the start menu is no longer nearly as keyboard friendly as it used to be, but other parts are also broken, settings is supremely broken wrt keyboard nav, the context menu is just a mess in Win11.

First sale doctrine definitely used to apply to software. Back when software came in shrink-wrapped boxes.

And alas and woe that the tech industry and courts have conspired to build such a sad world where essentially criminal violation of business model rules. That we haven't rights, when software has any services or systems it connects to.

I deeply appreciated a shout-out from Web scraping for me but not for thee to Mark Lemley in early aughts I guess, pointing out that the biggest trick the tech world ever played was switching from being governed via property rights (where established consumer rights like transferability apply), to contract rights, where the person making or selling something can ensnare you however they please & you get no say & no rights. Software has been a mass tool for infernalizarion of this world & this forever worsening of conditions needs to be pushed back against, needs some force to oppose it's ever widening sway. https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2023/08/web-scraping-f...

He's playing the victim and doesn’t understand that it’s still spam. I would have "closed as spam" the PR (if it’s possible) without a comment. Maybe I should be a Rust moderator…

Also Rust should be way more strict on what they accept in their repos because it does not show a good image of the organization, and ultimately the language itself.

IMHO this thing belongs in a blog post. Repos should be as neutral and independent as possible, especially for languages that want to be here for a long time.
The article says a police officer stopped arresting people and started handing out tickets to a drug rehab helpline once the measure went into effect. He stopped a few months later because it felt like a waste of time, as so few were following through.

It doesn't seem to me that there are any who actually sought help but were held back by lack of available funding.

The sense I get from the article is that very few addicts are in a state of mind to voluntarily seek help.

No they didn't haha.

All of the countries in east Asia have huge drug problems. Japan has incredibly strict drug laws and a horrible meth problem. In the last major outbreak, 2% of Japan was injecting meth intravenously. Drugs are available in Japan, [1] Singapore [2] and China [3]. Exacerbated by the criminalization.

All aggressive prosecution does is push problems underground.

We shouldn't forget that a measurably significant percentage of the population is almost guaranteed to become drug addicts provided any access to drugs. This is due to a variety of mental and neurological defects that result in addiction craving behavior and a near complete absence of inhibition regulation. This is tricky because for these people you cannot fight demand and counseling will not work as the problem is the hardware not the personality. The only partial solution is certain forms of medications and the only absolute solution is to forcefully separate that population from addictive substances and other people eager seeking such substances.
True. I suppose the social conventions around overt vs covert use of smartphone cameras evolved before wide-angle cameras on phones became common, since wide-angle cameras on phones are a pretty new thing.

Yeah, nobody cares that most sites will work with it. The number of sites that require it might be small, but that number tends to include significant and notable ones - the ones that most people actually wind up wanting to crawl. Cloudflare & co make this more difficult with each passing year.

This site, and many other typography-adjacent sites, have comically large text on my desktop computer. What's up with that?

(Maybe I've just misconfigured my browser.)
“Most real world sites” and “most real world sites you may want to scrape” are different, especially when weighted by information volume, so your selective quoting doesn’t help. Alexa top 100 probably contain more information, especially new information, than the rest of Alexa top 10000 combined (random guess I pulled out of my ass, don’t quote me on that), so the overwhelmingly scraping-resistant Alexa top 100 is what most scraping effort is directed against.

Anyway, I’m not interested in a pedantic debate. Most (but not all) people who have attempted to scrape any popular site, or unpopular site behind Cloudflare at above-minimum protection level, in recent years should know exactly what I’m taking about.

Edit: In case you’re not aware, many of the sites I have in mind are/were capable of defeating puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth. User agent is only the most basic thing, like level 1 in a hundred-level dungeon.
I'd imagine it's (total amount of sunlight hitting the visible portion of that roof) * (… the solid angle the window occupies, relative to the roof?)

The first portion of that equation is hot: roofs have a lot of sq. ft.'age, and a fair bit of sunlight strikes them. But the second part is well the other direction: the window probably doesn't occupy a whole lot of the field of view of the roof: i.e., mostly, any ray emitted randomly from any point on the roof is likely going to be skyward, so assuming it emits the heat/light out equally in all directions, your window only gets a small fraction.

The portion coming in your window doesn't go back out to space but I don't think that's a big deal?
Which part was Einstein wrong about?

I find this argument unconvincing for the same reason that the answer to the musical loudness war isn't "turn your speakers down". When contrast is maximized 100% of the time, there's no room for emphasis.
I only said Singapore. I didn't mention Japan or China. In Japan, China and the US drug use is "illegal" not illegal. Note the quotation marks.

In Singapore, drug use is illegal, not "illegal." Note, again, the quotation marks.
Output that doesn't end in LF is pretty annoying in general, since the shell prompt gets visually tacked on to the end. I have this as part of my PROMPT_COMMAND:

printf "%%%$((COLUMNS - 1))s\\r%1s\\r"

Effectively, it adds the missing newline in those cases and puts a '%' at the end of the output to let you know. The implementation is tad bit of printf trickery that leverages your bash's line wrapping.
Arresting people and putting them in jail makes them leave the neighbourhood for a while. It doesn't solve the drug addiction problem, but it solves the feeling of unease and safety risks associated with being near drug addicts.

Being the only place in the region where drugs can be abused free from meddling influence can also pull in addicts from surrounding areas, only increasing the problem.

Yeah, several weeks ago we had an unexpected flash storm, all was calm and then we had sustained 60-100mph winds for a few hours. Knocked out electricity for us and a million others for a couple days.

A ton of my neighbors had trees that had fallen on their cars or roofs. Whole trees in the road. Spent the next day helping my older neighbors pick up the damage because the city won't send anyone out to do it. As bad as it was, I can think of a dozen or more worse storms I've been in, with power outages lasting for weeks or months or flash floods submerging everyone's homes. Many of my friends were a part of the Cajun Army everyone heard about in the 2016 flood. Roofing companies make a lot of money where I'm from.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Louisiana_floods

> Because numerous homeowners who were affected were without flood insurance, the federal government provided disaster aid through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).[3] The flood was called the worst US natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

But this is the most sinister part. Most flood zones are correlated with impoverished people due to reasons you can guess, and insurance companies refuse to insure these homes against the only real threat in the area, thanks to lax state regulations; instead, the federal government is forced to make up the slack. The quality of recovery between the poor and well-off in these extreme weather events is vastly different.

I mean… the grocery store can make more money by double scanning an item I purchase, or McDonald’s can skim some money by giving everyone one less pickle. At some point the service quality has to be intrinsically motivated by the company wanting to preserve their brand, right? How much could they make off stolen luggage that they’d legitimately lose more on purpose? Surely the payout they have to make of losing luggage both monetarily and indirectly through brand devaluation is greater than the amount of money they’d make selling the luggage?
Perhaps, but presumably code that is meant to have an external interface will be in a module and will have an *.mli file to it, and that is an excellent place to constrain your types explicitly if you must.
