Even if you accept this article’s factual claims to be true, the derived conclusion that the only fix is to downsize cars is ridiculous. Technology (like the resolution of cameras, accuracy of automatic braking, etc) can be improved. Drivers can be less distracted if they have physical controls instead of touchscreens. Pedestrians can choose to cross only when they have a walk sign instead of when they don’t. Street lighting can be improved (since most of these happen at night). And so on.

But I also don’t see why this is a problem worth addressing any faster than what technology permits. So there are thousands of pedestrian deaths. But there are also literally hundreds of millions of people who benefit from using vehicles. The majority of cars sold are crossovers or SUVs or pickups, and the benefit everyone gets from having these larger vehicles is far larger than the negatives from car-related deaths, whether it is pedestrians or others.

Firefox gave me plenty of scars over the years. CTRL-Q and CTRL-W are just two; another's the fear of the browser randomly going "updates have been installed, you're not allowed to do anything until you restart; shame about that unsaved work you had on the page we just blanked" shit that used to fly on Ubuntu.

(Maybe still does? I browse from Windows nowadays.)

Search engine chaff has been in the toolbag of "reputation management" PR firms for a while. Boris Johnson (former UK PM) deployed it many years ago to drown out a viral picture of him in front of a red bus bearing an ad he no longer wanted to associated with, so he was coached to tell an interviewer he has a hobby of painting model buses red.

Volcanoes give you a lot of warning and most in Washington are not located close to major population centers. The one exception is Mount Rainier, which is on the Decade Volcano list. Technically Glacier Peak is a similar distance from Seattle but it is a much smaller volcano and risk of damage is much lower. Historically the Cascade volcanoes only erupt something like 2-3 times per century and most are minor. It isn’t something anyone really worries about. Much higher risk from earthquakes.

I lived down range of Mount St. Helens when it had its major eruption in 1980. It was a regional disaster but the recovery was relatively quick and few people died despite the epic scale of it.

From my personal observation, those whose scientific understanding I admire mostly see little value in what the philosophers have produced. Those who I see admiring the philosophers seldom demonstrate much scientific understanding. Therefore my personal observations do not lead me to the belief that the philosophy helps scientific observation.

You are an illustration. You just argued that one of the most successful scientific theories over the last century should not be considered scientific because it is probabilistic in nature. In so doing you deny all of the evidence for it. Including the theory that allowed us to build the transistors that allow your computer to work.

Evolution these days depends on the theory of population genetics, which is again fundamentally probabilistic in nature. Are you now going to take the position that the theory of evolution is also not scientific?

If so, then your definition of science is so ludicrous that I'm comfortable in dismissing it with derision.
It's been a while, but I vaguely remember that the hyperref LaTeX package for making URLs didn't play nicely with certain other packages -- possibly with one of the citation packages.

SSRIs (sertraline) gave me my life back. I don't have any appreciable side-effects and can live my life without crippling anxiety and depression. I started out with Wellbutrin, an SSRI alternative, and it caused short term memory loss and brain fog. I'm only functioning today due to SSRIs.

True, I think it's more accurate to say that the video can be shown in only black & white while still remaining mostly true to the original content, which isn't the case for most videos. So you can play bad apple on two-color display and still easily be able to recognize it as bad apple, which definitely contributes to its "hello world for video" status.

A few things—articles in English (the, a) are subtle as hell and extremely difficult to use correctly if you're not a native speaker.

The way you can verb any noun is super interesting and productive.

And having to memorize the idiomatic different meanings of a billion verb + preposition combinations (take up, take down, take over, take in, take away, take on) is a real treat for learners.
You originally wrote:

> very, very, few drugs are "novel" as opposed to being analogues of something naturally in the body

But "analog" means "structural analog" in this context (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analog ), which is why people disagreed with you, presumably.

It appears that you were merely saying that ligands must adopt a 3D conformation that's complementary to the receptor. Sure. That's the entire premise of molecular docking software.

But there can be very dissimilar ligands (like morphine and fentanyl) binding the same receptors. A major goal of drug discovery is to find such novel binders, not to regurgitate known ones.

In general I think that's true and agree that minor name collision commentary is uninteresting, but in this case we're talking about 11 collisions (and counting) in tech alone, 3 of those in AI/ML and 1 of those specifically in image generation.

When it's that bad I think that the frequency of collisions for this name is an interesting topic in its own right.
Your post is a good primer on bullshit detection: if you read something on the internet that sounds confidently authoritative, but you yourself are not well-versed in the subject, find what seems to be some key phrases and search the web for them. If you find lots of other hits on seemingly-reputable sources, then what you've read may be correct. If you only find the thing that you've just read, it's bullshit, with high probability.

Toward Parsimony in Bias Research
As long as the license pre-exists the change, then the changes will be included beneath that license. As law depends on intent, rather than anything strictly automatic. A "best effort" is fine.

The bigger problem is that re-licensing is... Hellfire. You require specific permission from all involved, every single person who agreed to previous terms. If a single person does not grant permission, you either cannot transition, or must strip out everything of their work - and anything their work may have further led to. They can't be the inspiration for anything.

You also cannot relicense something once you've placed it in the public domain (99.99999% of the time).

So... Begin your history with one license, you're fine.

Try and change it... Hire a lawyer first.
Yah well. Do some housekeeping then? I mean if the Distro delivers automagically snapshotting in intervals, during installation of packages, or whatever they fancy?

It's not like you'd need those for all eternity. By housekeeping I meant deleting them from time to time, with easily clickable tools, which exist(now/meanwhile), and DO give an overview. Maybe have to 'rebalance' afterwards, which can go wrong if the 'housekeeping' was too late, or something. OTOH the 'rebalancing' can be automated, from the beginning.

I'm sure similar haphazards (regarding common tools like df/du not being able to give an exact overview of remaining capacity) exist under ZFS, at least when your'e using compression.
You can also sign up for a google account using a non-gmail email address without creating a new gmail address, providing the domain owner hasn't created a workspace account with that domain in the past.

This can be done with an account that you once had control over but don't anymore, like if you leave an employer.

You can't send mail from it, but many apps will take having a google account with a given email is proof of ownership, or an @example.com email address is proof that you are an employee of Example Inc. when they are a customer of the app and have a tenant set up.

Totally expected this to be about how, after earth’s digital information is wiped out by a solar event, the knowledge of how we do anything will only be preserved in physical books.

The takeaway is: take down “take in.”

I imagine you're projecting how LaTeX works onto Typst, though despite years of use and a PhD in PL I never really figured out how LaTeX works so I'm not certain.

I don't think Typst has a lot of global state to get corrupted. Like, if one package defines a variable `foo` and another package defines a variable `foo`, and you use both of them (and don't try to import `foo` from both), it's not like those `foo`s are going to conflict with each other. Is that the sort of issue that LaTeX packages run into?

Likewise, you don't modify typesetting in Typst by modifying global state like you do in Latex. You use `set` and `show`, which are locally scoped. You never need to, like, set the font size, then write some stuff, then remember to set it back. You just put `set font(size)` around precisely the stuff you want to be bigger.

Well you're right there's infinite variations of algos that all can legitimately be called hill-climb. It's about as generic as the term "curve fitting".

I just mean with the known complexity and nature of Game of Life, trying to guess things based on an objective function, when going back in time, seems no more efficient than trying to guess coin flips, based on prior flips. There's probably some Logic Theorem (sorry I don't know it) that describes why objective functions cannot be used to help solve the backwards Game of Life problem.

It's a complexity problem like which butterfly "caused" a tornado, or which initial clumping of rocks "caused" a black hole, because there are infinite numbers of solutions. Like how many initial GoL boards are there that result in a particular final state? I say for any final state there will be infinite possible starting states that can lead up to it.
This comment is a shining example of the phrase "not even wrong".
Water vapor, which contributes between 41% and 67% of the Earth's greenhouse effect, has been part of the atmosphere since Earth first formed. Liquid water - clouds - contributes between 25% and 31%, and has likewise been part of the atmosphere since before the existence of humans. In other words, the effect of atmospheric water has had billions of years to reach equilibrium. Atmospheric water, at a global scale, is also not significantly affected by human activity.

The remainder of the greenhouse effect is caused by gases like CO2 and methane, which are affected by human activity. They contribute significantly - CO2 is a mere 0.04% of the atmosphere but is responsible for between 18% and 26% of the Earth's greenhouse effect, methane 6% - and we have significantly altered the concentration of these gases since the Industrial Revolution. The amount of CO2 has nearly doubled, and the amount of methane has more than doubled.

So no, this mission is not a waste of time.

For the short time I was on Wellbutrin/bupropion I would have micro blackouts multiple time periods per day and couldn't recall what I did or where I was. Not for me. Sertraline on the other hand (SSRI) is a godsend.

“Dystopia is coming.” is just the inverse of “AI/web apps will save us!”

IMO it’s already pretty dystopian to demand people prostrate themselves to flip my burger which I can do myself; we’re living in the memory of the last 70 years rather than let those two adults pick what to do for that day.

If you’d all like to go DIY more rather than rely on overseas sweatshop workers that would help. Despite HN being smarties by education you’re all still just one meat suit out of billions; none of us have defined new axioms of math or linked relativity and quantum mechanics.

None of the philosophy is ever “real”; just lame office workers stroking their human egos in each others faces until we die.
Here’s a thought for you. What percentage of the population wants to be mathematically literate given the amount of effort needed to gain that literacy? In my 30 years of teaching math at the college level the anecdotal evidence I have is that this number is quite low. Why do you think the number of mathematically literate people should be significantly higher than what it is?

What methods of teaching will work for those who don’t want to do the work to be mathematically literate?
turns out I don't write my comments just for you. what did you write that you think so clearly showed you understood what I originally said that I wouldn't think other people suffered the same misapprehensions?

One of the worst things about LaTeX is its reliance on packages to do anything useful. In fact, LaTeX is itself essentially just a set of packages for Tex. I hope whatever replaces LaTeX finds a solution that covers as many usecases as possible without needing any packages.

I believe that this idiotic short-sighted minmaxing (mainly due to the conservative party) has led to many of Germany's current infrastructure issues. Laying fiber? VDSL is cheap and has been good enough so far. Renewable energies? Importing Russian gas halves CO2 emissions compared to coal and is way cheaper (surely Russia would never think of abusing the dependence). Maintaining the railway network? That would cost money, and it wasn't broken yet.

..why you're so strongly convinced that there's no room for improvement over the status quo.

I didn’t make this claim. I said that videos like 3Blue1Brown’s videos would not work in the classroom for most students. I further said that there was a reason things are done the way they are.

Imagine going to a place of business and seeing people doing their job. A job you’ve never done before. You start giving advice on what they should do. Most likely your views would not carry much weight or be worth much consideration.
It sounds like an access policy for others, while big G gets full access. Yikes!
heh I was just working on something that tries to improve itself today. I wrote a simple agent executor that makes calling one a simple function call, and then wrote an agent which invents other agents. By calling that in a loop for a while I ended up with, effectively, a large library of functions I not only didn't write but didn't even think up.

By passing those functions as tools in LLM requests any of the agents can make use of any of the other agents so it's basically expanding its own capabilities.

Not quite sure what task to sick it on yet but it's fun to play with.
