No negative long term effects have been observed in humans yet, but some animals in trials were at a higher risk of cancer.

We haven't observed any evidence that the addiction-suppression effect reduces over time yet. However, we haven't been studying that effect for very long.
In my view, the sole focus of the healthcare system should be maximizing human wellbeing.

Humanity’s GDP is around $100 trillion per year. There is plenty of money for healthcare with many orders of magnitude to spare for other endeavors.

Bean counting here feels like Google in the early ‘00s proposing to make office supply expense reduction a business priority.
An interesting aspect is that they don't do a plain subtraction, but rather subtract a portion of the second softmax.

This makes sense, if one considers that the two copies are identical then the softmax outputs would be identical and the difference is zero everywhere. However, by subtracting a scaled copy, the normalization of the difference seems to really boost the signal value(s) over the "noise", making the signal stand out compared to pre-normalization.
There's a social sense in which you're correct - the machine wasn't counting on that wage, didn't cancel plans to be available, etc...

But from a financial perspective, most of the cost for the machines is probably in buying the machines, where most of the cost of the worker is probably hourly wage (or similar). Turning off the machines probably saves less money than sending the people home.
I have some knowledge but as an outsider.

For example, rustc has a very large test suite that is run on every single commit. There is also a language reference that describes the language in some detail. One of the things Ferrocene brings to the table is the paperwork and auditing that the test suite corresponds to the specification. With other vendors developing their own toolchain, they would have to do all three parts of that work (well, in the case of C or C++, two ish not three, since they have a specification, but there are always extensions and platform specific behavior to document) instead of just one. This isn’t the only thing they do, but it’s one example.

It’s not so much something special about Rust in an abstract sense, but in the practical sense that the Rust Project takes robust software engineering seriously, and being downstream of that is useful.

> It is the same with the cab companies. It took Uber and Lyft for them to lift a finger and actually attempt to innovate and make it better for customers

This is a complete rewriting of history.

The reason Uber "won" is because they operated on a loss. The reality is that running a Cab business typically has low overhead. You use phone lines, maybe a website, and then pay for cars and maintenance.

Uber "innovated" the field by doing the exact same thing with MUCH higher operating costs. How did they provide a cheaper service then? That's the kicker, they never have. They just ate the loss.

Cabbies, unfortunately, cannot work for a negative wage. Uber can pull that off then. And so, for 14 years, they never turned a profit. Losing hundreds of millions a year.

And that's how they won.

Of course, now Uber is actually more expensive than your average cab. Which makes complete sense when you consider calling someone's phone has got to be a lot cheaper than running one of the largest networks in the country.

And, is it really more convenient to tap around as opposed to make a call or even just stick out your hand? Maybe. But I think when it's double the price, people won't feel this way.
It's just a line. There is very little truth to it but the line works, and it helps people with doing things like changing the curriculum away from longstanding classics to books that will be forgotten in a decade.
Sure, but if you can do something to reduce the number of bugs it seems like you should still do that?
Sure. As I wrote in my other comment,

"That said, the repayments do exceed expectations. That is newsworthy. I just wish they could report that news factually."

So to flip it back on you: repaying the lowball marks, but not the actual full stolen value, is an interesting story on its own. No lies and exaggerations from the media are needed.

Also, where you write:

No. This is not a "fact". This is a lie. You have been misinformed. That's my whole point. Do not call it a fact.

I love the writing in this article. A sample:

"He wore delicate blue-and-white-striped slip-ons, his clothes unchanged across the three days I saw him: baggy black pants salted with cigarette ash and a deep blue shirt that, owing to its epaulets, lent him a vaguely military air. You would assume he chain-smokes, and you would be right, except the term doesn’t go quite far enough; so constant was the smoking that it seemed his cigarettes were little oxygen tanks he drew on to sustain life."
Naltrexone in high doses takes away all pleasure by blocking opioid receptors (low doses do too, but it is different when only a few hours). So there is no reward for drinking or eating if that is why you are eating. If this is not why you eat it will be less effective.

Bupropion acts as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Importantly it doesn't directly raise your serotonin. If you are a night owl, have trouble falling asleep etc you might have low serotonin to start and this could be bad for you.

Both of these are associated with suicidal thoughts. There is a reason HIMS requires your health info before suggesting drugs. I would flag the parent as providing dangerous information.
So, would ticks brought to a new prairie by bisons. So, would seed brough by the feces of migrant birds.

Yes, we can CHOOSE any moral framework, including one where we introduce this arbitrary notion of artificiality to treat the impact of homo sapiens as a distinct category. But let's not treat this as science. I wouldn't go so far to call it as a religion, but it is still on the realm of ethics and philosophy.

We can even have pragmatical reasons for choosing so, like the need for a particular eco-system to stay in a given state for our own confort, health and economic reasons. But it is still an arbitrary choice.

Species migrate by themselves in the nature, sometimes they play havoc on the existing biome they migrate themselves into. This was, it is, and it will be a significant driver of evolution long after we are gone from earth.

And on this particular case, it is not even like we are restoring the island to some idealized, pristine steady state. Cats are not the only species that piggyback on our civilization to spread, we also have the domestic mouse. If anything, completely eliminating the cat from those islands will serve only to ensure that the domestic mouse will be the dominant species there.

As I understand it was called JavaScript because it was not compiled, infact its interpreted i.e a script. And it was used to enrich the HTML interactions specifically which would mean no compile in the browser which back in the day were terrible. So Netscape and Sun came together to bring us Javascript.. It was also rushed because there was some competition with Microsoft I guess with VBScript or some derivation of that. So while JS is certainly 'quirky` I would hate to see what Microsofts version might look like today.
Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities" speaks of how one of the things that enabled the formation of modern nations was the expansion of literacy coupled to the writing of precisely such stories.

While stories of kings and heroes had been everpresent, the "pesasant's tale" was relatively rare and almost never given the treatment of written work. But the lowering of the cost, the increase in literacy globally, and the proliferation of control over the art of writing from an elite caste to the public at large led to the writing of "man on the street" and "day in the life of" stories that were one of the ingredients that catalyzed people's ability to think of themselves not as vassals of a king or supplicants to a god, but fellow humans in a nation.

When you could identify with the tribulations of a man in Mumbai from your flat in London because he happened to write his tale in the language you could read, a global British Empire began to knit together in a way that it wasn't consolidated under the simple idea "This is all the King's lands." Empathy glued your life to his life, even though you were on opposite ends of the globe and would never meet each other.
If no one does them, their risk profile is immaterial. GLP-1s can be manufactured for $5/month. Cheaper than trying to coax the monkey brain into doing things you can't make it do. I cannot speak to the gene therapy cost; balance against lifetime cost of "Western disease" if not provided.

Engineer for the way the world is, not the way we wish it was. From your comments, you appear to operate under the belief that people can free will their way to success ("The better option seems to be face the appetite head on rather than putting it on a temporal cage"). That is not what the evidence shows, and I wouldn't ask anyone with a brain chemistry imbalance or dysfunction to attempt to will the condition away when proven interventions are readily and inexpensively available.

TLDR We are improving agency in humans using bioengineering, broadly speaking.

>Especially considering, most of these "banned" books (literally available everywhere else) are pornographic.

Where are you getting the data that most books are pornographic?

Only 22% of the books banned in the 2021-2022 school year contained sexual content. The definition of sexual content includes things like "informational books about puberty" (i.e. sexual content != pornographic).
Maybe the loss function could penalize them learning the same thing?

He was “just following orders”, which has been an airtight defense for the members of Tiger Force. If they’re going to be rounded up along with all the other Americans known to be guilty of war crimes, fine prosecute nazi soldiers. But if not their immunity should be equally as strong.
I looked into book banning a while back and AFAICT the vast majority of it is universally agreed as necessary (and every "list of most-banned books" is an outright lie). It's just called "curation" instead of "banning".

Not many people complain if they can't find "Lolita" in their school library, let alone a thousand copycats with less historical relevance.
I'd give it a shot just to try it out and see how I like it. If I didn't like it, I'd try to understand why – what are the pros and cons of that approach vs the ones I'm familiar with – before tossing it out altogether. Once I feel I have a solid enough understanding of why the stack is that why, then I can decide whether to embrace it for what it is, or otherwise to then leave that team/company.

A few times, I've been exposed to new stacks I didn't really like.

One was Drupal, coming from the Wordpress world. That was a real nightmare. I learned it enough to work with it, started an upgrade/rewrite to a new major version (not backward compatible), and then convinced my bosses it's not a good choice for us. I rewrote the whole thing in React/Next and cut away thousands of lines of code and config. Drupal is the only framework I swore to myself I would NEVER work with again. The rest of the LEMP stack isn't my favorite, but it's fine.

The other was Java. We had a web app written in React, with unit tests written in the usual Javascript frameworks and living alongside everything else. Then a new outsourced manager came in with a Java background and insisted we rewrite all the frontend tests in Java because that's what the backend was written in (still makes no sense to me). He hired other people from his country who also knew Java. It took more than a year to port over some tiny fraction of the tests, and we lost a bunch in the process. The Java testing framework they set up was kinda a hot mess, with machine-to-machine incompatibilities, issues with hardcoded paths, etc. And you could no longer run them with `npm test` in the repo, instead needing a whole container or VM just to start the Java env in which the tests would run. They took 100 times longer. The tests went from being our shared responsibility (that any web dev could maintain) to something only the one QA person he hired could write – but they weren't very familiar with HTML or CSS or Xpath. I had to learn just enough Java to help them debug their own tests and Java setups, in the process coming to dislike it (it's quite bloated and archaic compared to the modern JS DX). I didn't hate it, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a project. It did make me interested in Kotlin and (less related) Rust, though. I left that company soon after, due to that and other recurring incidents of poor management.

The Oroville Dam crisis could have been avoided if the power plant did proper maintenance on the dam, and the power plant management was found as being the primary cause of the accident. Dams are in general man made and maintain multiple nuclear bombs in terms of energy in potential, which need to be handled with care. The crisis had as much to do with the weather as Fukushima had to do with earthquakes.

Much of the damage caused by natural events can be avoided with proper planning and prevention, but they cost money. Most natural defenses against extreme weather are also removed in order for developing land or extracting natural resources.

The economics prize is listed on nobelprize.org ("the official website of the Nobel Prize") along with the other Nobel prizes, so I don't think you can justify calling it "unofficial".

"The novel" is a relatively recent invention and a large part of its popularity had to do with the economics of book printing. Most people do not consume text (or information in general) through printed books any more, and it makes no sense to cling to the form or to privilege it over other kinds of media consumption. Reading and literacy is important, but I don't think that tying it to reading novels makes sense.

The point is, if we cannot responsibly dispose of waste, we should not be creating it in the first place.
Sadly generals, or at least the high command, tend to fight the last war, and tend to be fairly conservative.

WW2 was a classic example. Every nation except the US still had bolt-action rifles as the standard infantry weapon, on the belief that giving every infantryman semi-auto was a waste of ammo/too expensive/too heavy on logistics. Also motorization was not appreciated until late in the war, even in the German army - which despite all the attention devoted to the panzer/panzergrenadier divisions, was maybe 20% motorized at its peak. Mostly their soldiers marched from place to place, or used rail.

There is kinda a reason for this, that there are counter examples were new tech wasn't all it was hyped to be. And until something is battle tested, its hard to say how it would perform. Like early in the Vietnam war, US infantrymen may have been better off with the old M1 garand, because early models of the M16 tended to jam in combat conditions.
I find it crazy that they were able to do what they did to cigarettes, essentially marginalising them by banning all marketing etc., but rather than do anything about McDonalds, Kellogs and other junk food companies we have to resort to people injecting or taking pills for life.

Quite the opposite — if you have a long sequence only a smattering of the words will influence the meaning of the current word. Everything else is “noise”.
