The content does support it? They show with quotes that WPATH demands pre-publication review & approval for the purposes of making sure any publication is “thoroughly scrutinised and reviewed to ensure that publication does not negatively affect the provision of transgender health care in the broadest sense,”

that output has cratered in the way you would expect from pre-publication approval requirements intended to create publication bias:

> Now, more than six years after signing the agreement, the EPC team does not appear to have published anything else, despite having provided WPATH with the material for six systematic reviews, according to the documents.

(Where are those other 6 systematic reviews if it is purely 'speculative' that WPATH has not been approving them?)

that their guidelines are not based on systematic reviews as claimed but other motivations:

> Another document recently unsealed shows that Rachel Levine, a trans woman who is assistant secretary for health, succeeded in pressing WPATH to remove minimum ages for the treatment of children from its 2022 standards of care.

and that WPATH-approved articles have been publishing fraudulent claims about their involvement:

> Among the recently released court documents is a WPATH checklist confirming that an individual from WPATH was involved “in the design, drafting of the article and final approval of [that] article”. (The article itself explicitly claims the opposite.)

(Which at the least implies that a correction needs to be issued by the journal which published that article if the disclosures are false...)

>> but also notes that the request was refused by Johns Hopkins.

No, it didn't? The article specifically says, repeatedly, that that policy was implemented:

> In August the WPATH executive committee wrote to Ms Robinson that WPATH had “many concerns” about these papers, and that it was implementing a new policy in which WPATH would have authority to influence the EPC team’s output—including the power to nip papers in the bud on the basis of their conclusions. Ms Robinson protested that the new policy did not reflect the contract she had signed and violated basic principles of unfettered scientific inquiry she had emphasised repeatedly in her dealings with WPATH. The Hopkins team published only one paper after WPATH implemented its new policy...Now, more than six years after signing the agreement, the EPC team does not appear to have published anything else, despite having provided WPATH with the material for six systematic reviews, according to the documents.

I’d really like to see something like Meetup but… better. Not really sure how. Like, I don’t know, you pick a date/time window and get paired up with five random people to go and debate what the best cuisine is at a bar. An app just to create low stakes, spontaneous and silly interactions for you.
I haven’t used Meetup for a while but I always found it so dry, and it was rare anybody from my age group attended, probably because the meet-ups are so boring.

In fact I just checked Meetup and all I see is weird scam courses and speed dating events.

My comment was tongue in cheek, of course it should not be this way but as you know it oftentimes is.
LaTeX's support is already problematic. Most people just don't use it in sufficient intensity to notice. We produce thousands of (mostly) custom written technical reports a year using LaTeX and there are all sorts of subtle issues cropping up. It's a distribution (edit: or at least texlive is) of many, many packages from many developers, and maintenance can be spotty and vary. Unlike some people would like to believe, stuff breaks all the time.

Check this out for example: https://github.com/tabu-issues-for-future-maintainer/tabu

This used to be the most recommended package for tables.

This bug is still not fixed after at least 9 years AFAIK: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/203629/longtable-and...

It affects us regularly.

I'm not even going to comment on the fact that all of the following packages provide some sort of tabular feature: array, table, tabu, tabular, tabularx, longtable, supertabular, longtabu, xltabular, lxtable, booktabs, tabularray, ctable. Good luck figuring out which one does what you need and has the least side effects with everything else.

Also, while I'm not familiar with the internals of the LaTeX project, I keep reading the same names, most of which appear to be getting closer and closer to retirement. I wonder if suitable successors will pick up the task of maintaining LaTeX in the future.
The question was "asked Oct 10, 2013 at 1:54" and the answer (which explains why it was done) was "answered Oct 10, 2013 at 2:58". A more likely take on chatgpt's answer is that their anti-fraud explanation is not even correct; the 2013 answer provides citations from the time explaining why, and anti-fraud is not mentioned.
I was trying this for a while, but the inability of labeling and refering to specific math equations became a deal breaker.

You don't need a trillion dollar GPU to accomplish this stuff. Models from two years ago look incredibly different than the ones today, not just because they're bigger but because they're more sophisticated. And the data from two years ago looks a lot like the data today: messy and often poorly annotated.

Even if we added no new compute and capped the resources used for inference and training, models would produce higher fidelity results over time due to improvements in the architecture.
The French do something similar, as do the Germans. They've had relatively little luck with substantial changes recently, though. The 1990 French reforms were rather trivial. For example. the placement of the diaeresis was shifted to the first vowel in some digraphs. So "aiguë" (acute, sharp) is now "aigüe" since it is two syllables, but the former spelling misleadingly hints at three syllables. That one seems to have been well-accepted. Many of the other reforms have been only partially accepted, or explicitly rejected by many speakers. (I don't think I am ever going to get used to "ognon" for onion.)

I am always skeptical about using small machines if big machines can do the job as it is the case with farming, but also energy production, transport, etc...

For tractors, most modern "big" tractors already do most of the work automatically. The guy in the cabin is mostly there for supervision and dealing with the unexpected. And later, for maintenance. Swarms won't help, quite the opposite in fact: more supervision, more unexpected situations, more hardware to maintain... Better automation can help, but better automation will help big machines too.

Weeding could potentially be done by an wide array of sensors and picker arms, pulled by a tractor, and maybe followed by a large collector. This way, there is no need to have a propulsion and power system for every picker, the tractor will provide this.

Sometimes, small machines make sense but the general trend is towards bigger, it the technology allows it.

Yes, a top-down safety culture entails some level of bureaucracy and process overhead. That is the price that must be paid for jobsite safety. No one is saying there's a free lunch.
Very carefully worded blog post title.
My brother has been in repair for a telco for almost 30 years. It’s a union shop and the company takes safety very seriously. They constantly send safety out to repair sites because the guys out in the field still jump in the hole so they can get their work done and get out of there.
Keep in mind all workers are paying premiums too. Socialized costs aren't only governmental. The point here is this is not punitive in a way that would lead the company to behave differently.

None of this will matter in a few years as project 2025 will effectively neuter any regulation and allow companies to do whatever they want. All that will hold them back from the most deplorable treatment of workers will be social media and spin affecting profits at that point.
Doesn't this assume courts are honest and neutral brokers of justice, and cannot be influenced by power imbalances, and that everyone has quick and equal access to the courts for redress?

Sometimes it takes a powerful organization to get redress from another powerful organization.

> the employee could reasonably conclude that it'd be silly for them to maintain a separate "personal" computer — and so would potentially sell any such devices

What a bizarre leap of logic. Can Fedex employees reasonably sell their non-uniform clothes? Just because the employer in this scenario didn't 100% lock down the computer (which is a good thing because the alternative would be incredibly annoying for day-to-day work), doesn't mean the the employee can treat it as their own. Even from the privacy perspective, it would be pretty silly. Are you going to use the employer provided computer to apply to your next job?
You've asked the right question, and for those that think validation is as simpLe as "run it and see if it gets the right result", good start but instruction ordering can be critical around multi thread aware data structures.

No, it would not. Cuba has been a thorn in the USA's side since Teddy Roosevelt. I guarantee you that 200 years of history would not suddenly change if Cuba, say, democratically elected a pro-Russian socialist.

To what extent is this because we act like spoiled kids? I really do mean "we" here; I probably have acted like that sometimes. I wonder if we, the post-microcomputer generations, are messed up to some extent because we started programming as a fun distraction from the work we were supposed to be doing, rather than learning programming as a serious job from the beginning like our predecessors who learned on mainframes or minicomputers in college.

Without some standard of what is "safe" each case would be an argument over the relative safety and risks in the particular situation, the knowledge and expertise of the people involved, etc.

With OSHA regulations there is much less wiggle room. "They weren't using trench boxes, as required..." leaves much less room for debate.

My own thought on this (as someone who believes embodiment is essential) is to consider the rebuttals to Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment.

For now (and the foreseeable future) humans are the embodiment of LLMs. In some sense, we could be seen as playing the role of a centralized AIs nervous system.

> Management (including myself) repeatedly tells field workers that their safety is more important than making a bit more money

You made me remember the spring of 2000, the first time when I worked for a company that actually thought that way.

(edit: worked for some good companies before that as well, but what I mean is before that, security was always either up to the individual.)

I got scolded for working without proper gear, and after a couple of issues (tiny rebar splinter in the eye, later a speck of concrete in the eye, both happening despite wearing mandatory eye protection) I suddenly realized I had my manager hanging over me to try to figure out if there was something that could be improved in the work flow.

I loved working there, they paid very well, and here is the thing that looked crazy at the time but is obvious now: they had one of the best bottom lines in the city.

You are right about what? And why? The article clearly explained the worker deaths, and it was because company CEOs had chosen to avoid the mandated safety precautions (trench boxes) over cost concerns, and had chosen to not tell the workers about the safety requirements. They admitted it in many cases, and in some cases went to jail. The authors’ survey of trench fatalities found that company execs overwhelmingly had never planned to install trench boxes in the first place. There were no cases mentioned of trench boxes and heavy equipment being arranged and delivered, and of having individual workers instead decide not to install them. Are you aware of any, and are you accusing the article of some kind of bias?

I already agreed with you and I’m aware that workers can make bad individual decisions, but that is not relevant here. We’re not talking about any and all construction safety, we’re talking about trenches and trench boxes. A few simple facts of reality that you might be ignoring that I’ve already mentioned are: 1- trench boxes require heavy equipment and advance planning; 2- the law requires a safety supervisor to ensure workers follow the plan. Neither of those is up to individual workers and cannot be undermined by individual workers.

To your broader point (that doesn’t apply to trench boxes), workers only get away with stuff when the company doesn’t care enough. The company is paying, and has all authority to monitor and enforce any and all safety concerns, should they be sufficiently motivated.
Weird. I'm on a 2011 Lenovo desktop with an i5 and it ran smooth as butter.

You don't seem to know either since you don't elaborate on this. As said, people are picking this apart on Twitter and mastodon right now. Give it a week or two and I bet we'll see a couple CVEs from this.

For the rest of your post you seem to ignore the argument regarding attack surface, as well as the fact that there are companies not using this kind of software and apparently doing fine. But I guess we can just claim they are fully infiltrated and just don't know because they don't use crowdstrike. Are you working for crowdstrike by any chance?

But sure, at the end of the day you're just gonna weigh the damage this outage did to your bottom line and the frequency you expect this to happen with, against a potential hack - however you even come up with the numbers here, maybe crowdstrike salespeople will help you out - and maybe tell yourself it's still worth it.

I have a similar opinion of being micromanaged. The micromanager is like a chaos demon that keeps pointing me in random directions. I lose all internal vision / intuition and turn into an unhappy task robot.
