> leave moral instruction to parents and other institutions like it should be.

Should be, according to what doctrine? It certainly sounds like you're attempting to establish institutional moral instruction by imposing limits on when and where morality can be discussed.

Why are we allowed to teach students astronomy but not morality? Go back further and we couldn't even freely teach astronomy. Do you remember Galileo's trial for heresy? Or Socrates' condemnation to death for "corrupting the youth"? This war for teaching the ability to capably assess ethics and morality has been waging before you, I, Hacker News, universities, the internet, the printing press...

If you don't think it was right to kill Socrates for simply spreading the message of critical thinking, then you have to accept that adults can organize to teach whatever they wish at universities, assuming it doesn't run afoul of Constitutional protections.
I don't think that's what it means. Raw dogging a flight means staying awake while doing nothing.

I suppose most people that want to "raw dog" a flight will fall asleep eventually, so I guess there's that. But I think getting buzzed and just slipping into a bad nap for like 12 hours is a bit different, at least to my mind.
Equally intriguing, I've noticed that most fridges have the hinge on the right.
I don't understand the hype around Apple trackpads. 15 years ago, sure, there was a huge gulf of difference, but today? The only difference that I can see or fee, at least between lenovo or dell and apple, is that the mac trackpad is physically larger.
Yup, my data is nicely gridded so I can use the convolution approach pretty easily. Agreed though - missing data at the edges or in the interior is annoying. For a while I was thinking I should recompute the SG coefficients every time I hit a missing data point so that they just "jump over" the missing values, giving me a derivative at the missing point based on the values that come before and after it, but for now I'm just throwing away any convolutions that hit a missing value.
Or a conscious choice not related to business. It goes the other way around too, what is obvious to them is not obvious to you.
The sad thing is that there is some truth to the parent comment.

For the most part it's an accurate representation of how morals are appropriated into institutions like academia.

As important qualities like community and a shared notion of a common good in humanity are, the system as it stands will render them according to its own interests and students will exit none the wiser. Character becomes standardized into a set of "values" of an entirely different sort.

The problem is that Students inevitably become parents, and some inevitably branch out into "other institutions" professionally, espousing Moral Character® and we're left to figure out who contaminated what?

A ten year battery warranty means most used car buyers would be without a battery warranty. My current car was 12 years old when I got it, and in basically pristine condition. Good ICE cars are very durable in a way that the batteries in EVs simply aren't.

Because American industry runs on illegal labor. They pick the fruit, they work in the slaughterhouses, they build the housing, they work in the kitchen prep lines.

Like go to any construction site, any restaurant -- you're gonna see a bunch of Mexicans, Salvadorians, etc.

As wages haven't gone up, Americans need cheaper and cheaper labor on the low end to be able to, like, eat, and lots of big business knows this. The GOP owned Congress under GW Bush could have locked this issue down, and if they felt so compelled they probably could have swung that during the Obama era if they were willing to push. Instead it's a boogyman they can use to rile up voters while keeping costs low.

>The Kobo can run in a fully offline mode

Really? I had to make an account to "activate" my Kobo, but it wouldn't let me make one because I already had an old account with one of their partner websites, whose auth servers were malfunctioning, so it took like two hours to be able to "activate" the device.

Is there a way to bypass that?

Elite rescue swimmers stay calm in life-or-death situations
There are several processes, many of them documented on that very page, that allow an organism to pass on certain characteristics that happened during its lifetime to at least the next generation. One other example of such a process is horizontal gene transfer, typically through viruses, but also sometimes in plants through grafting.

For an extremely simple example, if a female organism is exposed to significant doses of radiation, the DNA inside the egg cells it was born with will have a high chance of suffering mutations. If one of those eggs remains viable and later gets fertilized, the DNA of the offspring produced from it will be significantly different from the DNA that of offspring born before the radiation exposure.

There are other more subtle and more common processes, though. The most surprising one is that DNA methylation, a process in which environmental stimuli encountered in a living sexually mature individual affect gene expression, has been proven to be transmissible to offspring across several generations in certain species. This includes stimuli such as prolonged exposure to heat or cold, long-term starvation, and others. This is indeed a form of Lamarckism that has actually been proven to happen, though of course it involves much subtler changes than some of what Lamarck envisioned.

Looking at Cargo.toml, a great deal of the project's dependencies are internal dependencies. Those are located in the same repo, and the separation is only there to help keep the compile times manageable by allowing parallel compilation.

It's very rare to see so many internal dependencies in one project, but the concept itself is well explored.

But besides that, it's just the project making use of the Rust ecosystem instead of rolling everything by themselves. From what I can see most of these external dependencies are already established in the ecosystem (some crates I am not sure since I've never used them, but anyhow, http, hyper etc. are among the most popular crates).

Congratulations Mayank, this is very cool! I'd love to learn more about your journey building this platfrom.
I love this discussion, and I think it's critically important for people to engage with it.

However, I cannot more strongly disagree with your implicit assumption of innocence for "category 1." Facebook alone is unquestionably more harmful than Palatir, and any purely for profit entity is by necessity intentionally unanchored to any ethical foundation at all. Facebook is known for explicitly supporting genocidal regimes abroad, and for intentionally ignoring white supremacy, child abuse and domestic terrorism here in the US, all while being very explicit about not cooperating with the government agencies responsible for combatting these issues.

To that end, I would extend your thesis to the effect that people who eschew category 3 for category 1 aren't simply abdicating social responsibility, but are hypocritically engaged in substantially more socially harmful behaviors.

Sure, Palatir leads to people dying, and sometimes those people are innocent bystanders, but those actions are the result of any engagement with the public sector. Facebook is a direct progenitor of genocide abroad and fascism stateside, and is wholly untethered from either conscience or consequence. Category 1 is worse.

If I'm "in the zone", then I stop being aware of the monitor and keyboard and all I see is what's in my mind's eye: geometric shapes coming in and out of existence and moving in various ways that relate to what I'm doing. Then it feels like the code is just pouring forth on its own without me paying attention to it.

It's seriously an altered state.

Most of the time I'm not in that state[1], though. In those cases, I don't think I really visualize anything. I think my mind is too occupied with egg-juggling to have the cycles to spare on visualizing things.

[1] The older I get, the more difficult the state is to achieve and the more delicate it is when I've achieved it. Which is a shame because my best work is done in that state.
When something needs to be constantly emphasized, it makes me suspicious. The more I read "[...] in Rust", the less I will be surprised if Rust is considered harmful in another 5 to 10 years.
Surely you have the capability of making a distinction between doctrine established for hierarchical control and a teaching a basic system of deriving ethics or morality, with the exact intention of preventing such hierarchical control within an industry that has the power to make any extreme institutional system a reality. You've seen the effects of a generation of social media technologies and how it compared to the previous generation of internet communication such as BBS, forums, etc.

I assume you've lived long enough to witness an internet stewarded by those who place ethics or morality above purely capitalistic motivation, vs. an internet stewarded by a generation of new-age, fake-ethical "They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks" tech entrepreneurs.

> Short term capacity factor is not the same as reliability,

Er, capacity factor and reliability are not the same thing, that is true. But not in the way you seem to think. Capacity factor is more stringent than simple reliability, as it also takes into account planned outages and even power reductions due to external circumstances, for example when nuclear output in Finnland was throttled to compensate for the over-production problems they had with their hydro last year.

Please do read up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor

And you do need to make up your mind whether you think long term or short term is important, because you are contradicting yourself on that.

Capacity factors are usually given for a year, and in recent years, the capacity factors for nuclear in the US have been in the 95% range for a while, though recently dropped to "just" 93%. What the capacity factor was 30 years ago isn't really relevant.

The idea that 93%-96% capacity factors somehow make nuclear power "unreliable" is ... "interesting".

If you find a more reliable electricity source, do present it here.

Cnidarians and flatworms don't have a CNS and sponges don't have nerve tissue at all. I would think that means they don't do anything on a daily cycle that would match what we commonly call sleep.

I'd also wonder about creatures inhabiting extremely sparse environments like deep caves and undersea trenches, that spend most of their lives dormant and only seem to do anything at all when food happens to come around, which might only happen every few weeks or even every few years. They're probably not studied extensively enough to answer, but do they have anything like a sleep/wake cycle?
Defer to other experts, but (briefly) normalizing flows are a method for constructing complex distributions by transforming a probability density through a series of invertible transformations. Normalizing flows are trained using
a plain log-likelihood function, and they are capable of exact density evaluation and efficient sampling. See:

Danilo Rezende and Shakir Mohamed. Variational inference with normalizing flows. In ICML, 2015. Link: https://bigdata.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1505.057...

I mean that using software outside from its own boundaries was the original hacker spirit. Yes, I know about Macsyma, I tried it under ITS on Simh.

Similary, Emacs got an apt environment outside of editing code with Org-Mode, ERC-TLS, Mastodon.el, EMMS... by properly modularizing the functions. Excel tries to do it all
to fit all users in the same place. A recipe for disasters on serious environments.

Some cores are just better to develop a usable environment. MacLisp was. Today Common Lisp it's more than able to fit almost any niche. Excel with VBA isn't a proper environment for scientific computing, it's too bound for office tasks, paperwork and accounting. Ditto with Access being overused as if it could complete with MariaDB, Oracle... generating even more bugs in software and potential issues and lawsuits, as it happened with the scientific papers. And, no, Libreoffice, even being libre software isn't a solution for serious computing either.
