It sounds to me that the social concern is the declining birth rate and the article is proposing ways to improve dating to alleviate that problem.

At least in the US, that feels like trickle down economics.

From my POV, the larger detractors to having children are financial “safety” aspects much more than “dating is hard”.
From a 1st person view “I need to save a lot of money because in retirement, I will depend only on the money I saved”.
Or “I am one medical issue away from having my savings wiped”.
Or “daycare / education for my kid is so expensive that it’ll eat a huge chunk into my available cash flow”

I believe if we want more families (and families to have more children) as a society (acting through the government) we need to alleviate those issues.
You don’t need to make having children _free_. But the more affordable you make it, the more people will choose it.

I think it isn't just p-hacking.

I've participated in a bunch of psychology studies (questionaires) for university and I've frequently had situations where my answer to some question didn't fit into the possible answer choices at all. So I'd sometimes just choose whatever seems the least wrong answer out of frustration.

It often felt like the study author's own beliefs and biases strongly influence how studies are designed and that might be the bigger issue. It made me feel pretty disillusioned with that field, I frankly find it weird they call it a science. Although that is of course just based on the few studies I've seen.
Search engines have gotten bad, and I feel like LLMs are just making them worse and worse. I am sick of wading through pages of shitty AI generated articles and SEO'd junk articles that may as well have been written by AI to find any actually good information. It's gotten especially bad for really basic science and engineering stuff too. You used to be able to get really quick, reputable information about things like water density tables or unit conversions with a quick Google search, but now the top results are all really shitty websites with dubious info or no actual information, just words.
Yeah, we should. You're still not able to accept that your simplistic framing is useless and still insisting that any arguments are only valid if they simplify just as much, since your position falls apart otherwise. Ending the conversation with ad-hominems definitely shows you're not just a bad-faith troll, sure.
The real underlying problem is that in your case, genetic variants are not accounted for. As soon as you include these crucial moderating covariates, it‘s absolutely possible to find true effects even for (rather) small samples (one out of a hundred is really to few for any reasonable design unless it‘s longitudinal)
i only use wooden spoons and spatulas and i almost never had them crack or splinter. if an edge does break off i can use a knife or sandpaper to make it smooth. the only downside is that some spatulas are not thin enough on the front edge, making them more difficult to use for things like pancakes or omelettes. i always keep an eye out for good wooden spatulas. i had some quite nice ones over the years. and when i move i take them with me, just in case i can't get another good one in the next location.
Very good.

I work at one of the few startups that uses C# and .NET.

Dev machines are all M1/M3 MacBook Pros and we deploy to a mix of x64 and Arm64 instances on GCP and AWS.

I use VS Code on macOS while the rest of the team prefers Rider.

Zero friction for backend work and certainly more pleasant than Node. (We still use Node and JS for all front-end work).
For me it isn’t uncanny from a lack of humanity. Rather, it triggers all my “fake and shallow” personality biases. It certainly sounds human enough, just not the type of humans I like.
Left a comment on another reply, but as I said there, there's a big difference in approach because restrict usually only gets sprinkled in on very few functions, but it doesn't mean it's not used.

> Records have existed for years

As a fan of Records, this is a punch to the gut.

The ecosystem is years and years away from using records. Almost every huge monolith decade+ project is still on Java 8, those who moved to something new still can't be liberal with them, because oh look, none of the serialize/deserialize libs can work with them because everything, to this day, abuses reflection for generating objects like a giant fucking hack it is.

Apology for the rant, but I migrated a big project to 21 early this year, am in the middle of migrating another 1M+ line codebase to 21, and the sorry state of records is such a sad thing to witness.

I give a decade before records are anything but 'a fancy feature'.

Well, at the moment it seems it's not working at all.
But it is more complicated. I have Sami Heritage but it goes back to my great great grandparents. I did not know this until I started digging deeply into my ancestry, but I carry many of the polymorphisms from these people.

So although I look like a typical European Caucasian, my genetics are very untypical of that population. And this also explains my family history of heart diseases and mood disorders which are also non-typical of European Caucasians.
Welp, looks like one of the entry level jobs in VFX is now fully automated: the role was called "Trackers" and they did camera motion recovery, set/prop placement recovery, and actor match moving, including facial performances (sometimes, that's had a lot of automation attention for years.)
I believe aggradire is an archaic form for aggradare, "to please". Gradire also means "to enjoy". The Italian word for "to aggress" is aggredire.

Having studied both Italian and English literature in high school, I can confirm that 17th century Italian is more understandable for a native speaker than 17th century English is. But I am naturally biased because I am a native Italian speaker.
Silicone is not rigid, which is sometimes a problem.
Interesting, I do agree that finding actual value is not "trivial" for genai. In our case we found a specific use case that actually helps our purpose, so we use it there.

Also, how I always try to think about it is: do not expected accuracy to be 100%, it's not deterministic, and find a way for the user to actually use it as a helper / time reducer than an actually core solution.
Probably worth mentioning the moment-generating function as well, since it's a bit more elementary than the characteristic function and shares many of the properties. It's also more simply related to the probability generating function, you can go from one to the other with a basic change of coordinates (t -> log(x)). I also estimate calculating the moment generating function to be easier in most cases.

In fact most properties of the PGF come from the monent-generating/characteristic function. Including why the second derivative is related to the variance. The second derivative of the moment generating function is the second moment E[X^2]. The second derivative of the logarithm of the MGF is the variance by definition.

The one property that's somewhat unique to the PGF is how composition relates to drawing a randomly-sized sample, which I can see could be useful.

Yes, but this is not usually done.
.NET is totally cross platform these days. Our company develops locally on Windows and deploys to Linux. I’m the only team member on Mac and it works flawlessly.
Very interesting! Thanks for the link, I didn't know about it and I'll have to check it out.

It still falls slightly outside of my zone of preference, though, as it's a .Net application, which limits which platforms it can be run on (I'm aiming for a tool that can readily be used on most of my devices, including on an old Raspberry Pi or a router).

It's my understanding that 'warming up' old topics like this is not a problem, and that commenting links to the previous threads is more for reference than to chastise.
At present, yes, I believe bicyclists are more likely to carry some reusable items with them.

Some of the reason being that they are planning their trips and know what they can carry, and know that they don't want to carry more. Reusable water bottles in a work backpack are an example.

The other aspect is you don't have to carry all of these things. If you eat in a restaurant or at a house you are more likely to have reusable options available (ie washable plates and dinnerware). In many ways, car culture is linked to takeaway culture, which causes single use culture.

Top of mind; it's easy to picture the American automobile with bags of fast food trash.
> but that‘s (a) a lot of effort and (b) epistemologically difficult!

I agree, but then all these cheaper, easier studies are useless.
Are you not imbueing animals with spirits based on lack of evidence of statistical regression?
Yes, it is true that you can use optics still, but everything memory related is always much more effective and can completely prevented. No need to use rootkits.

I would say that it takes few years still before people have good enough hardware before AI can be used in real-time. You can use OpenCV and train things against specific game to get a decent performance with image recognition, but it is not that reliable.
Yeah i see your point.

The necklace, that sounded like a byproduct of recycling plastic.

In general though, through the 50s-70s there were some tragic events where people died in fires. Part of this is federal legislation, part of this is California who required household furnishings to withstand an open flame. Most of the legislation still stands, some of it like CA's has been reduced to a smolder test but it still requires some retardants.

People don't pay attention to this one but its in everything, mattresses, couches, baby sleep wear. And for me, a bigger issue than PFAS.

Isn't that just a bad study? You have confounding factors - such as ethnicity - that weren't controlled/considered/eliminated.

I do get what you're saying, if you miss something in the study that is important, but I don't see how this is a case to drop the value of statistical significance?

And I consider them bad advertisers and just don't care.

We had the internet without ads. Then we had the internet with small banner ads, that didn't track users but were there because of the page content. Then those ads moved from text/image to animated gif, and they became annoying. Then flash was used and it became a security concern. Then the number of ads went up and up, video was introduced, autoplaying, with audio, and at some point most of the internet is unusable without an adblock. It's not something we, the users, wanted, the advertisers (google included) made the internet unusable without an adblock, and that includes 3 25 second ads on a 1m20s video on youtube.

If advertisers returned to non-animated banners above/below the video, we wouldn't have to install adblocks everywhere anymore, and people would see the ad without wanting to kill the advertiser for bad intrusive advertising practices.

They started it, they went too far, we're just reacting to what they're doing. And as we've seen with other platforms, even paying for premium doesn't mean no-ads. And still an adblock is needed to remove the in-video ads ("this video is sponsored by shadow vpn audible").

It is also not easy if you have many potential covariates! Because statistically, you want a complete (explaining all effects) but parsimonious (using as few predictors as possible) model. Yet you by definition don‘t know the true underlying causal structure. So one needs to guess which covariates are useful. There are also no statistical tools that can, given your data, explain whether the model sufficiently explains the causal phenomenon, because statistics cannot tell you about potentially missing confounders.

A cool, interesting, horrible problem to have :)
> Even on the machines most well-supported by Linux, which are Intel x86 PCs with only integrated graphics and Intel wifi/bluetooth

Uhh, this is just untrue. I have it running on three different laptops from different vendors and Fedora, pop_OS!, and Ubuntu were all pretty much drop-in replacements for Windows, no problems.

You "keep around a Linux laptop" but I daily drive them and it's fine. Sure, there's the odd compatibility problem which could be dealbreaking, but it's not like MacOS is superior in that regard.
It's only the answer if the goal is to not feel like you're being cheated by cheaters: realistically cheating would be absolutely fucking bonkers if you actually tried to treat DIY matchmaking as a form anti-cheat.

>The experience with Visual Studio is stellar.

I assume you mean just the Windows Visual Studio? The Mac version is not exactly on par with the Windows. Yeah C# is great, but one would need Window's version of VS (NOT VS Code) to take full advantage of C#. For me that is a deal breaker, when the DX of a language is tight to a proprietary sourced IDE by MS.
Or even more impressively, how you can pick up a random object and throw it with some accuracy.

Catching a ball is easy by comparison, also, my dog is better than I am at this game.

But throwing a random object not only requires an estimation of the trajectory, but also estimating the mass and aerodynamic properties in advance, to properly adjust the amount of force the throw will use as well as the release point with high accuracy. Doing it with baseballs is "easy", as the parameters are all well known and pitchers spend considerable time training. But picking an oddly shaped rock or stick you have never seen before and throw it not completely off target a second later, now we are talking.
For most of the world this is a good argument for being cautious of using US-based AI services (and closed-models) as well.

As someone living in America's Hat, without any protections from PRISM-like programs, and who can't even reach DeepSeek without hopping through the US, it's probably less risky for me to use Chinese LLM services.
Anything in health sciences has millions of variants not accounted for, that also interact between themselves so you'd need to account for every combination of them.
Even if you did a study with the whole planet there would be no statistical significance since the genetic variation in in FADS genes are still in the minority. (The majority of the world is warm and this is a cold weather/diet adaptation).

In most African populations this Polymorphism does not exist at all. And even in Europeans it is only about 12% of the population.
I understand CEOs need to promote their companies, but it's notable that Google - arguably the world's leading information technology company - fell behind in AI development under Pichai's leadership. Now he's touting Google's internal capabilities, yet Gemini is being outperformed by relative newcomers like Anthropic and OpenAI.

His position seems secure despite these missteps, which highlights an interesting double standard: there appears to be far more tolerance for strategic failures at the CEO level compared to the rigorous performance standards expected of engineering staff.
Language is the tool we use to codify a heuristic understanding of reality. The world we interact with daily is not the physical one, but an ideological one constructed out of human ideas from human minds. This is the world we live in and the air we breath is made of our ideas about oxygenation and partly of our concept of being alive.

It's not that these "human tools" for understanding "reality" are superfluous, it's just that they ar second-order concepts. Spatial understandings, social cues, math, etc. Those are all constructs built WITHIN our primary linguistic ideological framing of reality.

Yes, in its most basic configuration, it is essentially a microprocessor trainer! The only I/O you had was a set of 8 "sense switches," which were a byte-wide input port, and those were shared with the upper 8 address bits. Someone eventually figured out routines that make use of nonexistent memory in the base configuration to use the upper address lights as a "display," by writing loops that accessed those areas frequently enough to make the LEDs look illuminated due to persistence of vision. That, with the sense switch inputs, was used to put together a "Kill the Bit" game!

There was another "output device" discovered in the basic configuration: RF interference! Someone was listening to an AM radio while hacking on their Altair, and noticed in some parts of the program they'd get a ZIIIIIP! sort of noise out of the radio, when the cover was off. This was hacked on and expanded into a tune-playing program! Naturally, one of the first songs the Altair was taught to "sing" was "Bicycle Built for Two" ("Daisy"). Here's a video of a friend of mine's Altair running the music program:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tImrHlYLzZo

He'd brought his recently-acquired Altair 8800 over to our house to get it running, since I had a lot of other S-100 stuff going. The terminal to the left of it was running a ROM monitor on a Dajen SCI board, described here:

http://users.glitchwrks.com/~glitch/2011/11/03/dajen-sci

...after painstakingly toggling in the music program through the front panel, we used the Dajen board to burn the program into a 2708 1K x 8 EPROM so we wouldn't have to do it again!

It has also been posed that the hemispheres of our brain operate at this edge of chaos with one hemisphere aligned with the novel and chaotic, and the other hemisphere aligned with routine and order. Then in this theory as we sleep/dream our brains take the novel and chaotic things we experience and transfer them to the routine and orderly side of the brain. Or something along those lines.

I’m no psychologist but I find the existence of chaos and order in the physical word to be really interesting. It seems like something we would make up as a species, but really there is proof for it in the universe around us.
