I've read the opposite; that brown rice is just white rice with the bran still attached, and that white rice was only eaten by the elite because of the additional work required to seperate it (like white bread only being for the wealthy during the middle ages), and that beriberi was a noticed more in times specifically because of industrialization increasing the availability of white rice:

You need to treat the training data as source code, and you need to apply the rules to both pieces: the underlying software of the machine learning system, and the training data. This can get complicated because sometimes the training data expands in real time as the system gets more queries.

George Lucas: 'I'm a Cynic Who Has Hope for the Human Race' (1999)
Perhaps I don't know the right terminology. Ketamine, which the source article is mostly focused on, is significantly addictive. The author calls it a psychedelic, although I see other sources use that term more narrowly. LSD and MDMA, sure, are non-addictive, although LSD is active at such small doses that I'd have other concerns about making it widely available.
Food safety? How do you measure the effect of that?

Chinese life expectancy is higher and their burden of disease is lower than the US.
Yes, that's kinda my point: Aristotle's physics worked well until it failed. Newton's worked well until it failed. General relativity works well, but some people look for where it might fail, so as to help reconcile it with QM.

Theories need to be considered for what they are, theories, and not dogmatically, for science to move forward. Evolution is a theory, and in its current form, already distant from Darwin's.

It's particularly amusing to have this discussion in the context of evolution, given that we have observed theories to systematically (AFAIK) evolve.

Why can't we extrapolate about the evolution of the theory of evolution then?

I was wondering how to interpret the statistic for Russia. My guess is that Russia produces a lot of oil and gas, but it trades at a heavy discount. PPP is a way of ignoring the reasons for the discount. So maybe it’s saying that if the reasons for that discount were fixed (say, Russia makes peace) then they would get much better trade terms. But that’s a hypothetical scenario. In the real world, the geopolitical situation matters.

For China, I believe the government controls the exchange rate, which results in intentionally selling Chinese goods at a discount? Hypothetically, if they let the currency rise then they’d have higher GDP, measured using actual exchange rates.
I did some experiments around this idea a few years ago, partly inspired by the "35% Faster Than The Filesystem" article: https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

Here are the notes I made at the time: https://simonwillison.net/2020/Jul/30/fun-binary-data-and-sq...

I built https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-media as a plugin for serving static files from SQLite via Datasette and it works fine, but honestly I've not used it much since I built it.

A related concept is using SQLite to serve map tiles - this plugin https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-tiles does that, using the MBTiles format which it turns out is a SQLite database full of PNGs.

If you want to experiment with SQLite to serve files you may find my "sqlite-utils insert-files" CLI tool useful for bootstrapping the database: https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#inserti...

Bogus announcements are probably filtered by your upstream(s) (see [1] for a common list of filters).

IP-to-ASN mappings are typically built from route collectors [2,3] that peer with various networks and receive their announcements. AFAIK route collectors don't filter anything and it's easy to find bogus announcements (e.g. private ASNs) in the data.

I can't find 4294967296 from a quick glance at the latest RouteViews data but I can find other private ASNs. For example AS7594 - AS2764 - AS4294901866 for 210.10.189.0/24 seen by the route-views.perth collector.

I don't know what kind of filtering iptoasn.com is doing but at work (ipinfo.io) we do filter bogus origins, as well as a bunch of other things like RPKI/IRR-invalid routes and hyper-specific prefixes (> /24 or /48) [4].

As soon as you read "outsourced their IT", one can always assume the aftermath would be a shitshow, as it is always done in response to the previous team not being able to run it, which means it is a goddamn mess. Having worked enough state and city government IT contracts in the past 25 years, you just assume the worst about everything and are often not disappointed. It's not a matter of if but when they'll be owned really, and most really wouldn't know what to do if they were still today.

None of those statements are generally true.

By far most legally prescribed ADHD meds are not methamphetamine, only some are even amphetamines at all, and they affect people with ADHD quite differently from neurotypical people.

Among people with ADHD the specific experience varies widely by person.

My personal experience using legally prescribed Adderall XR was so unpleasant that I can’t imagine voluntarily using it for recreational purposes or often enough for any purpose to end up addicted. It was more a question of “does this situation require me going through the downsides of taking it, and how do I make sure it helps more than it interferes.” There’s no way that’s what neurotypical recreational users experience.

My current ADHD treatment does not involve any amphetamines, and I’m completely fine with that.

(Why did I use “generally” in the first sentence of this comment? Legal prescription methamphetamine is technically available in the US and approved for ADHD treatment, under the brand name Desoxyn, but it’s very much not a common choice to say the least. All other options are vastly more commonly prescribed. For my own ADHD treatment I’ve never been prescribed meth, even though I’ve been prescribed most of the common ADHD meds over the years including several different amphetamines and multiple non-amphetamine options.)

From what I remember, this was an atomic operation, and if there was a download in progress it would continue using the old file, because the data was still on disk and the filename was simply a pointer to the node.

This may behave differently on other file systems. This was done on an old Linux server with ext3

Are there still apps and the underlying hardware in smartphones to receive and decode FM RDS? IIRC some phone chips had FM radio receivers, but there were limitations like needing a wired headphone plugged in so that the headphone cable could be used as an antenna. I know a USB SDR could do it, but it would be neat if this were still a latent capability in the phone.

Of course I did a search in the Play Store but it's crowded with streaming radio apps and SDR apps.

The "Doctors have messy handwriting" trope derives from the fact that prescriptions often contain a large fraction of Latin terms, chemical names, abbreviations and acronyms that don't parse (and thus seem sloppy/illegible) if you are trying to "decipher" them as English. Doctors don't have significantly messier handwriting compared to similar populations (esp. now that drafting isn't as emphasized in architecture, engineering, and similar programs)
> There is a point he's not making that's important here: the ability to learn and absorb knowledge peaks when people are young.

Maybe that's true, maybe it's not.

Either way, at 60, on a daily basis in my life, almost all the skills I use were thing I learned after I turned 25 (and most of them after 30). That includes cooking, woodworking, programming, swimming and host of others.

My stepfather used to say (he probably still would if given the chance) that the point of school (by which he meant what in the US is called K-12) is learning how to learn. I agree with 100% (surprise!) - the reason I have been able to learn things in later life is because I got an excellent opportunity to learn how to learn when I was younger.

> The opportunity with AI is that education can be much more personalized now.

I don't even know what this means. The best education consists of a situation (sometimes created by a teacher) that provides a given individual with the opportunity and motivation to acquire some knowledge about something. I do not see what AI can possibly have to do with creating such situations.
I'm just spitballing, but I think you could explain it that the disillusioned people aren't anti-trans by itself, but rather anti what they perceive is so much attention being spent on the issue rather than the "real problems". So "culture war" fuels negative condemnation of the other side, while not directly creating positive support for their own politicians.

Of course that's still totally disconnected from reality given that if you're concerned about inflation you shouldn't be voting for the guy that oversaw the printing of trillions of dollars (monetary inflation) that caused immediate asset inflation (his goal) but price inflation spread over several years as monetary velocity went back up. And if you're concerned with taxes going up, you shouldn't be voting for the guy that signed those tax increases into law. So I don't think rationality actually has much to do with where we're at.

Would you consider you might be wrong here? We are several people telling you so.
Definitely. I'd never heard of this one before; I'd love to read a full comparison between the two.
The OP's definition of "US graphic novel" is apparently a comics that has a story similar to an adult's novel. In France, a "roman graphique" also means something akin to "film d'auteur". I thought that meaning was also present in the USA. Emblematic authors of the genre, like Eisner and Spiegelman, certainly point to this direction.

If you require that a graphic novel should be a creative and personal work, I doubt the OP's choice fits. A "trashy melodrama" whose first goal was "to cash in on the rise of mass-market paperback books" did try to expand the comics genre of its time, but it was more a commercial step than an artistic novelty.
Great point.

Vonnegut comes to mind in literature. In one of his novels, he even grades his other works A-F based on how good he thinks they were. His grades seem remarkably accurate, too, given my subjectivity as a reader, and his bias as the author.

These kinds of essays resonate with me but there's always something about them that seems really off and misguided at the same time.

The survivorship bias you point to is a big part of it. Reading the biography of Carnegie, just as one example, strikes me as kind of egregious because it quickly becomes obvious he was part of a child labor system and by counterargument succeeded largely because he was one of the lucky poor given access to private education by a wealthy benefactor. You could just as easily turn Carnegie into a counterexample, of what happens when you give a child an education with lots of attention. He also happened to be in the right place and right time, in the railroads just as they were taking off.

The focus on the schools too seems really misguided to me. Most of the problems with society today, in my opinion, are due to all the formal roadblocks placed up by bureaucratic red tape, instantiated by the labyrinths of government or private human resources departments.

There are just so many things that require such and such degree, or such and such experience, not because they're actually necessary, but because various legalistic bureaucracies require them. Some of the examples in the essay could happen today, but most of them probably not. The essay seems to quietly acknowledge this but then turns attention away from it, probably because it undermines its thesis.

In my own career I've heard lots of stories like this from the past, both close to me institutionally and more distally. People just sort of showing up somewhere and chatting and then getting a career because they came there to do the work, were respected on the basis of conversation, and had a path forward. None of that would happen today. There would be rubber stamping required, certificates and degrees in a specific field or subfield, with no attention to whether or not the person has the actual ability and background in the area to do the tasks involved.

Schooling today I think has problems, and I agree with the premise that doing things is important. But I think schools teach to what is out there in the world, and students are doing things in school curricula all the time with no acknowledgment later because you're seen as commensurate with a degree. It's not a problem with schools, it's a problem with having vocational paths with opportunities be open to people who have the skills and abilities, but just don't have quite the right credentials or connections. Maybe it's always been that way, but something about today's society makes the examples provided in the essay seem irrelevant today for all sorts of reasons that have nothing to do with the schools themselves.
Not sure about you, but in class I was forced to study an enormous amount of stuff I didn't care about, so I needed to memorize and pass the test, that's it.

Wasted time.

Yeah the class composition probably matters, I wish a universe where what you described make sense.
But your example is not reflective of the study. Are you saying that the 17% reduction is for some reason significant but the other ones, all of which would inconveniently disagree with the result you want, are not, even though they are in the same study?

IOW, you're saying that among the study results, all that agree with your POV are valid, all that don't are invalid. That's quite some bias there.
Did you read the article? The kid shot himself with a gun "within seconds" of her taking his phone away.

>> If it was an open source software, you will have the option to go to a competing vendor.

You miss the point. Enterprises don't go looking for another vendor. Vendors come to them with a sales offering.

If I'm running SQL Server the I pretty much know where I stand with Microsoft, and there are endless MS approved support people.

With PostgreSQL some vendor has to come to me and convince me to switch. PostgreSQL is really well supported, and it's at least an option. 99% of Open Source though has 1 or 0 support entities, and 0 sales people.

Sure, with PostgreSQL I can do my own research. I might even have skills to do it myself. But now I have to explain my choices all the way up the ladder.

Am I going to use an OSS accounting system with no sales people? With no support people? Or am I gonna pay $99 a year or whatever for QuickBooks?
