"Almost" is overstating it a bit. It's true that the original idea Eich was proposed with was "Scheme in the browser" but Sun moved in before Java was even officially announced by name. JavaScript was intended as a "companion language" to Java pretty much from the start.

It's more realistic that we'd have ended up with VBScript dominating the browser landscape instead (Microsoft half-heartedly tried to acquire Netscape before the Sun deal and it's unlike Netscape would have lasted this long without the cooperation with Sun) and nobody wants to live in that timeline.
I think that the confusion comes from the problem of identifying who "the authority" and "the establishment" is today.

As all the past symbols of rebellion are becoming co-opted and its wearers are assimilating and become "The Them™" (formerly known as, "The Man™"). It doesn't help that there is a dearth of "new" ideologies or trends that the younger generation can discover and iterate over. The continuity of history that is enabled by technologies like the internet and the collective knowledge of older generations, has almost ossified the innovative properties of the kind of rebellion that a hip academic would find quaint and nostalgic of the period of youth that was the springboard to their own assimilation.

All that remains for most people is to reach for absurdity. Which itself is absurd.

Don't look for an analogy, this just adds a new mathematical capability. It enables "negative attention", the network can say "I want to subtract the contribution of this token" in the attention calculation. Previously it could only reduce how much it adds.

The simple way of doing this would be to just remove the softmax or use a sigmoid instead, but in practice a softmax works better it seems.

> book banning. This source mentions that some books get banned from libraries: https://www.ala.org/bbooks/book-ban-data. But i assume all of these books can be obtained via a bookstore or online retailer. Even if someone argues that it puts books out of reach because of price, I cannot believe that since one can get used books from what for as little as $3-5, or 15 minutes of googling can give them access to PDFs and epubs to tens of thousands of public domain books or millions(?) pirated books that can be read on tablets and phones which have saturated everyone's hands.

You seem to be arguing that library book bans are innocuous, because one can simply find the books elsewhere.

Is that correct?
> Rather, my experience is that young readers are eminently capable of critically engaging in long form content, but they’re rightfully demanding a seat at the table where decisions about texts are being made.

There's never been a time when kids didn't demand things that are "relevant" to them. Soul on Ice and The Teachings of Don Juan certainly seemed more relevant than Macbeth 50 years ago.

The fact is, they're not capable of deciding that. That's why they're in school.
The teacher's job, which this person refuses to do, is to make the classics relevant.

If you're one of the people repeating the facile, shallow, and dumb cliche that "the older generation has always been critical of the younger generation" then you are, ironically, part of the problem. You have no insights that younger people value, so of course they're going to ignore you.

> I don’t think being addicted to laziness and having a glutinous appetite is exactly comparable to say, being addicted to heroin.

Your opinion is that of a petulant child. Many years of research has shown that obesity is not this simple. Many chemical processes take place that influence one's ability to make better health choices, and many external factors put constraints on those choices as well. This is the exact same thing as hard drugs. Being obese is not a moral failing. When you say things like this, you show your true colors. You are not extending humanity to obese people, and it is very obvious.

I sincerely hope you reconsider your opinions. I hope you don't have any obese people in your life, or at least hope they don't read these messages. I think they would be disappointed to hear what you think of them.

And again, I hope you don't have any vices and are the perfect model of health, otherwise this would be a quite silly opinion to have.

EDIT:

I've been rated limited on comments so I'll post my last response here instead:

I have nothing further to say to this other than that you should consider talking to someone about your clearly deep-seated hatred for those who don't fit your model of participant in society; it doesn't seem healthy. Find an obese friend and show them your comments and watch their face as they read them. I wonder if you will find the humanity in their response that you are lacking here.
This is a great argument for voting in the government most likely to support social assistance, e.g unemployment, retraining assistance, UBI, etc.

Regardless of who you think that might be, Americans should make sure their voice is heard on this issue in the upcoming elections.
This is a tough one, and I think is a bug of the current system, and only serves to hold us back. I'd like to think that one day we'll reach the point where UBI is practical. We're not there yet, and we need to do more in the interim offset the impacts of automation to workers losing their livelihoods as a result.

These workers, in particular, I think would be the most ideal candidates to make and monitor this automation. Send them to college part time to learn the skills they need for this.

Re-training programs to teach them new skills to make a horizontal (or upward) shift in the workforce seems like a no brainer.

Problem is, who's going to front the capitol for this? If we forgo automation at the ports, it will impede the potential cost savings of shipping goods into the US, making importing goods less attractive to everyone involved. Re-training can be expensive as well, who's going to front the capitol to pay a mid-career worker with a family a similar salary to re-train?

Our system has failed horribly with this, and it needs to come up with something as more and more jobs are sought to be automated out of existence. There's no reason why we should have to avoid technical progress just to make sure people can keep collecting a paycheck.

The reason JavaScript exists is that it was targeting hobbyists and non-programmers for whom Java would have been too much of a barrier to entry. That's why it's called that and why it was referred to as a "companion language" to Java at the time.

This. But more than being changeable they (time and money) are supra-logical or trans-rational. In other words, computers are limited to what can be modeled or calculated with the one logical operation (it has lots of names, I like "Quine dagger") but these phenomenon are not.
Not unhinged, just human. There's even a logic to their views: when different approaches to a problem are on different sides of a line of political polarization, people see them as competing, and see the success of one as tending to invalidate the other. I've heard/read politically minded people on either end of the spectrum talk about global warming as a challenge that is going to discredit the other side, by which they mean that the success of their preferred approach will discredit other approaches. And I think there's a lot of truth to that, because of how most human beings see things. Thinking from an engineering mindset, we see different ways of solving a problem as complementary rather than mutually exclusive, and to us it's common sense to 1) pursue both of them simultaneously given the high stakes and uncertainty of success, and 2) continue to improve our understanding of different approaches so we can apply them all effectively in the future in situations that call for them. But thinking from an engineering mindset is not normal. That's not how most people see things. I think the way most people see things could be described as a zero-sum competition for mindshare.

You can even see the tendency to see complementary approaches as competing at work in smaller divisions between people who are mostly politically aligned. For example, when one group wants to take immediate direct action to ameliorate a problem and another group wants to focus on longer-term fundamental solutions, they might fight bitterly and badmouth each other's approaches if they feel they are competing for a finite pool of resources such as funding, political backing, or public attention.

For a more concrete example, think of how the issues facing Black Americans recently came to the forefront of public consciousness, books like Between the World and Me and Stamped from the Beginning were shaping the public conversation, and in this context, some people tried to harness that energy to get the public interested in social class as well. When they tried to inject class into the conversation, they often encountered pushback from people who were like, "Hey, the way the public is paying attention to the Black American experience is really special and amazing right now. Let's focus on maintaining this momentum. Save class consciousness for another day." It's not that the majority of people on the left disagreed about class being an important perspective for gaining insight. They simply believed that the public's appetite to learn about a topic like racism was limited and fragile, and it would collapse faster if they tried to add another topic on top.

For a small minority of deeply ideological people, the feeling of competition was stark and intense. Some claimed that talk about class was an attempt to change the topic away from racism and put white people back in charge, and others claimed that identity politics was a class warfare weapon of distraction. But even people who valued both race and class as ways of understanding society perceived a competition for public attention.

Tirzepatide (aka Zepbound/Mounjaro) is called a dual-action GLP-1/GIP agonist. The GLP-1 action overall makes you feel less hungry, basically. The GIP action slows gastric emptying (how quickly food moves from your stomach to your small intenstine) so you feel full longer. It also has a modest effect on lipolysis, which means it does help somewhat in breaking down adipose tissue (fat) to use for energy more efficiently.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist only. Retratutide is a newer drug that is triple-action.

Generally on these drugs the action does not induce more "calorie burning", they are used mostly to modulate caloric intake.

>I don't know how to feel about the idea that we need treatment for being overweight in general.

Obesity is by orders of magnitude the worst public health issue facing humanity. Obesity makes every disease worse. Obese people are more likely to develop cancer, cardiovascular issues, respiratory issues, dementia, diabetes, and other afflictions. Obesity often leads to depression, lack of motivation, lower libidos, overall worse moods in general.

Of course there are "levels" to it, it's not to say everyone has to be a bodybuilder to be happy and healthy. Of course not. This is not about being slightly overweight, or "wanting to lose 15 lbs for summer"... But in almost every way, being fat makes life worse for the majority of people.
So, the claim is that image recognition and ML (no, wait, broadened to AI?) is primarily used for targeting, surveillance, opinion manipulation, slop content, etc, and that AI has no credible benefit story, and is therefore nothing more than a weapon?

Nothing is preventing you from using it this way ? Infix functions are just syntactic sugar, some prefer it, some don't, but there's zero downsides to it (aside from your coworkers abusing it.) 5 money "USD" is literally the exact same thing as 5.money("USD"), and Int.usd = this.money("USD")

+ and - are already overloaded (see val subtotal = price + shipping), increase/decreaseBy are for operating over percentages (and could be written as subtotal * (1 - discount), which is much less clear). As the other comment say, it has an actual, real life meaning that people understand clearly. Your price increased by 10 percent. the By convention is also already present in the Kotlin stdlib, although it's more for grouping operations, numeric operations are taking the Of suffix now (sumBy has been deprecated in favor of sumOf, increaseBy could become increaseOf without any loss of clarity)

It's not just America.

"Obesity in India has reached epidemic proportions in the 21st century, with morbid obesity affecting 5% of the country's population" [1]. (It's about 7% in America [2].) Meanwhile in China, "the incidence of overweight and obesity among school-age children...was 15.5% in 2010, rising to 24.2% in 2019 and soaring to 29.4% in 2022" [2]. Same story in Vietnam: "The prevalence of overweight among children aged under 5 years increased from 5.6% in 2010 to 7.4% in 2019. For overweight and obesity among children aged 5 to 19 years, prevalence rose from 8.5% and 2.5% in 2010 to 19% and 8.1% in 2020, respectively" [3].

The analogy I can think of is when you're paying attention to a variety of things and you actively avoid concentrating on something because it will distract you. You don't give it zero attention, you give it negative attention.
I looked for myself once. The "most banned book" was, according to Google search (and DDG, many listings for it), the one by Maia Kobabe. This book is available on archive.org, you can find it yourself. And it is indeed pornographic by any meaningful standard.

> Only 22% of the books banned in the 2021-2022 school year contained sexual content.

Well gee, as long as it's not 98% what's the big deal. Frankly, I think everyone should be just fine with any number below about 80% pornographic. Wouldn't want to get carried away.

> The definition of sexual content includes things like "informational books about puberty" (i.e. sexual content != pornographic).

This is another absurd claim. When you go to look at the books themselves, this isn't some little cartoon of "how to roll the rubber down over the penis"... which while I might agree would disturb some people, it wouldn't much bother me. It's strapons and cock-sucking, and all the things that at least 20 or 30 years ago would have had something categorized as hardcore porn.

The people who want to claim it is "informational books about puberty" don't have the same definition of "informational books about puberty" and "sexual education" as the rest of us, and they like to take advantage of people being too lazy to check for themselves.
The way I've seen this done is usually to outsource it to some third party like https://network.id.me/platform/identity-verification/ that does the verification by proxy, handles all the compliance and privacy stuff, and then tells the website operator "this user is verified as a _______".

I don't think your documents get shared with the website directly, just your verification status, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

And I think the verification process mixes and matches ID checks, employment records, credit records, text messages, etc., kinda like how a bank asks you "Which of these streets, if any, did you ever live on?". There are different questions for different kinds of verifications.

> In the late 1960s annual inflation approached 7%, more than double the economic predictions utilized in the original plans back in 1962. From mid-1967 onward, the system fought one financial crisis after another, struggling to remain afloat [...] The actual construction figure ended up being about $1.6 billion, $315 million of which came from the Federal government.

While I have definitely seen many instances of reporters coming with a preconceived narrative, and then just wanting quotes that further that narrative, I could barely get through reading this article. The author seems to want to dump on competing narratives for why kids seem to have trouble with long form reading, but then brings all her own biases and essentially lays them out as fact with 0 evidence. Take early on in the article:

> She, in turn, ascribes these instructional choices to the oppressive presence of standardized testing and the Common Core. And cell phones, always cell phones.

The evidence that cell phones are hugely detrimental to the development of young people is pretty overwhelming these days, and no amount of old, out-of-context quotes taken from earlier "technological panics" will change that. I think the works and research of Jonathan Haidt do an excellent job digging into the effects of cell phones on kids.

And don't even get me started on the "Kids don't want to read the old classics because they're dense and hard to read, they're just challenging the white male patriarchy!" Spare me...
The whole book is quite good, btw! And it looks cool on a bookshelf.
Banks typically use a fixed floating point of 1 integer step = 1/100 cent. Is this value configurable in your library?
The Swedish central bank later added the price in economics (although controversial). So other things can be amended. However, I suspect we won't see any more amendments to the noble price.

A different institution can step up and make a price on its own, though I'm not sure what institution would have that amount of prestige without weaponizing it for commercial purposes.

I prefer a nicer price for mathematics that includes a bit of computer science than a price for computer science. I don't think there is much room for a "society-changing innovation" within CS that isn't either an engineering feat (Linux, Docker, FFmpeg) or an algorithm that could fit under a mathematics price (FFT, Navier Stokes).
