Awesome! I've been wanting to make something like this that I can use with my son and nieces, but haven't had the time. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I expect we'll be spending all summer making little games together!
Learn statistics, or talk to more doctors.

So you think this does not get enough attention, but you keep it secret? Makes zero sense.
The professor has resigned after being placed on leave, FWIW:

> or any other activity offered as an alternative.

… in your opinion as a wiser person I guess. Most parents I know are considerable less ‘wise’ than the not parents: the latter group had ~20 years more of travel, diverse life, study etc. Most early parents, 6-8 years into their first (with maybe a 2nd or more there) sound lobotomised when I get to speak with them. It gets better later on, but wisdom, I think not.
paternalism

the policy or practice on the part of people in authority of restricting the freedom and responsibilities of those subordinate to or otherwise dependent on them in their supposed interest.
How would this benefit consumers?
You need to have a lot of kids for that to happen.
> If that's the case, that just means we have to pick the second option: stop treating peer reviewed research as if it is reliable.

It is the case, and that second option is exactly what we do. One article is nice, but replication is key before some new finding is accepted. That is exactly what happened with LK-99, for example, which is interesting because it was very public.
The entire relationship between an advisor and the the candidate is paternalistic, the advisor holds so much control over the student’s future. I’m glad I quit in hindsight.

Not sure I understood your question, but you can't really control what others will do. E.g. people can downvote or flag without any reason whatsoever.
because they aren't really a charity, and they aren't really interested in aligning AI. In the end, it's all an attempt to profit - with the initial marketing about charity/alignment that those with wishful thinking all bought into.
got any good resources you can share?
We’d all been burned on enterprisey balls of mud like XMLRPC and then SOAP. When JSON-over-HTTP came along, it was a breath of fresh air. Look, it’s readable! It’s easy to parse! It’s trivial to generate! It only had like 5% of XML’s features, but that was the point. Mere humans could read it and there was no temptation to stick something in an attribute instead of a value.

Seriously, it was revelatory.

Edit: Also, lots of common computer interactions — I’d go so far as to say most of them — are only passing around a few values in a simple data structure. JSON’s good for that. I wouldn’t want to necessarily use JSON to represent an office document, but that’s not what I want to use it for. “Hey API server, give me information about song 1234.” “OK, that’s ’Hotel California’ by The Eagles.” You can definitely describe both question and answer with XML, complete with schemas and all, but does that get you anything over {“name”:”Hotel California”,…}? Not really.

Consider how much you can accomplish with POSIX, and it doesn’t even have named arguments. There are times when XML’s complexity is a benefit (I guess; I’ve never seen one but I don’t doubt they exist). Most of the time, it’s just overhead for the sake of overhead.
I came here to say exactly this. Nothing in the article says that the operator doesn’t know where the red die is, and the subject cannot know that every subject is always offered the switch.

So they think they’re being tricked into it. Perfectly rational.
The academic system is to preserve a very specific culture that happened to be really good at uncovering the truth. You can tell that because otherwise none of the rigmarole around degrees makes a lot of sense. The only way I know of to preserve cultures is a really lopsided teacher-student relation where the teacher has absurd amounts of power. Otherwise the culture won't be preserved.

There is this odd tension between academics and society where there was this system that was never designed for it is being treated like some sort of vocational certification system. It'll be a pity if academic culture gets destroyed on the way through.

Anyway, TLDR; I agree that the academic system is archaic and paternalistic but if that is a problem people should expect to go build a new system. Preserving a culture is going to get archaic in less than a generation.
> There is nothing wrong with breaking an illegal contract.

It is not an illegal contract. It is a contract that Epic _hopes_ is illegal.

I don't get to ignore my home mortgage payments without consequence even if I believe in my truest of heart that giving money to a bank is wrong. In this metaphor, Apple here is the bank saying that Epic has a habit of not paying back loans, and has publicly stated how they think the loan they are applying for is 'hot garbage'.

A follow-up post from 2021 that got some more attention here:

> a basic wheelchair retrofit to a standard minivan adds over $30k of cost

What's a basic retrofit? I just looked and I think a ramp etc is less than 5000 EUR in Germany, installed?
No, you'd buy a bigger house, put your kids in private school, start taking bigger vacations, and find that $500k doesn't go as far as you thought it would.

I mean, objectively that's what happens to 95% of people in that situation. Hedonic adaptation is a bitch.

> if I were getting a 500k salary

but you're not, presumably. And when you _do_ have that sort of salary, your circle of friends and priorities will also change along with it. At least, for the average person who also makes your claim.
I had nightmare debugging sessions with Xml and xslt. Xml is big and ugly. Json was so much lighter and easier and so it won.
This guy obviously wasn't cut out to do this sort of work. The real question here is was that his advisors intention or his misfortune?
At first I thought it said "Overcooked no more" and assumed it was another article about another rocker swearing off the drugs, but no, it's another article about a woman who did something along with a dozen or more others but she should be pointed out because she's a woman. At least this is a real thing and not inventive. BTW, did you know the producer of the first Hip-Hop single was a woman? That should be more interesting than this.
But they way you say it sounds like they were invented with a purpose, which means you can replace them with another purpose; apparently short term thinking is worth writing articles about. So kids is one for a bit of your life; you can, like some guys (unfair but guys can) I know, just go to a new 20something girl every 15 years to make a new nest. Or you can find a purpose for your life, be it writing software, books, music, studying math, physics etc which your life ends up too short for and which will engulf you for however long it maybe with always having too little time while needing almost no money or other external stimuli. Wouldn’t that be better. Indeed it is.
That's fair; such appeals lack rigor. All I can say is that the early months became so much easier after developing a rational framework for thinking about SIDS and learning to not worry about it at all, after controlling for suffocation risks.
> what is supposed to be good

why do you presume that there must be a good party here?

Hahaha. Electron probably makes them cry
I think the reason that JSON won was that at least on the client-side, it was much easier to turn the response data into a Javascript object to interact with then XML.
