The concept of literacy itself means more than "able to read." (aka alphabetical literacy meaning word and letter recognition). Literacy is the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential.

International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) has five levels. Only 50% of U.S. adults age 16 to 65 are level 3 or above.

Level 3:

>Texts at this level are often dense or lengthy and include continuous, noncontinuous, mixed, or multiple pages of text. Understanding text and rhetorical structures becomes more central to successfully completing tasks, especially navigating complex digital texts. Tasks require the respondent to identify, interpret, or evaluate one or more pieces of information and often require varying levels of inference. Many tasks require the respondent to construct meaning across larger chunks of text or perform multi-step operations in order to identify and formulate responses. Often, tasks also demand that the respondent disregard irrelevant or inappropriate content to answer accurately. Competing information is often present, but it is not more prominent than the correct information.

Of course, in the pandemic we saw extreme versions of this. Anything to avoid vaccination, but ivermectin and other risky drugs were no problem. If vaccination would be alternative medicine and ivermection government mandated, we might see the reverse.

So I don't think its vaccination perse, at least not on its own, but vaccines have various things going against them. Like someone else in this thread said, government mandate + preventative medicine has the right ingredients to form a conspiracy theory with, religious doctrine has historically amplified that as well. Additionally, there's also a distrust of 'big pharma' in general, and especially with minority groups a history of dubious or even malevolent medical experimentation by the government.

A big part of the antivaxxers are now also anti 5G, advocate against the use of sunscreen, are against wind energy and EV, sometimes pro-russia, anti-deepstate, etc. Some of this is fossil lobby, some of it is the result of Russian propaganda and other parts are just organic whackyness, like the flat earthers.

The Japanese take cleaning seriously. The other day I was at a hotel and I saw the hotel front desk staff cleaning the elevator door track late at night.

Their approach to floors and feet is one of my favourite things about Japan. No shoes in the house. No slippers on the tatami. Designated slippers for the toilet. Completely thought out and sane. Traditionally the Japanese life revolves around the floor - you eat sitting on the floor and you sleep on the floor. As such they built very strong processes around maintaining clean floors.

Shoes in the house is insane. Dogs (and humans) regularly excrete on the surfaces you walk on. Studies have found people who drive regularly traipse in lead around the house coming from petrol refilling.

I find the rest of the world's approach to feet and shoes completely upside down. An old roommate explained to me that only after you walk around your home barefoot do you appreciate how clean your floors are and more importantly how clean your feet are.
Yeah people seem to think that driving costs up for driving will change behavior and build infrastructure. The reality is it will just hook the local government or authority to the tax.
I draw the line in the sand and say that is different because sleep has been working "forever", while the quote in the parent comment describes a process that, not only does not exist and therefore work now, if it ever gets to work, we won't know if it's the same as the daily process that happens when we sleep.

Otherwise I actually agree with your point ("every night another little death", as the Sonic Youth song says): I'm different every morning. Usually, the differences are subtle. Over the time span of a lifetime though, I've been through enough changes that I often say ghosts of former selves share this body, and what "I" am now will probably be another ghost by the time the biological substrate dies and takes whatever "I" will be then, along with all the ghosts, with it (in my case we'll go up in smoke since I'll be cremated).

I do not study in my free time, no.

I'm not saying I can instantly program at expert level in any language I've never heard of. But yes, I can read most programming languages even without ever having seen them. Take LUA. I had never used LUA and when I started out I was reading code examples and writing LUA code without first "learning" it at all. I just went and did it. Did I probably do some "stupid things" that an expert would do differently and/or fast? Of course. But I got stuff done and learned as I went along. Same when we introduced Kotlin for example. I was instantly productive but someone using Kotlin for a longer time (such as today's me) would "cringe" at how I was writing Kotlin as if it was Java.

Notable exceptions would be languages that have such a weird syntax as Brainfuck ;)

SQL is a great example. I have not been using SQL directly for quite a long time now. But about 20 years ago my bread and butter was SQL and I was writing stored procedures every single working day and I was not writing any Java at that point in time but was using two other languages other than SQL on a daily basis as well (Perl and Bash).

> Something about vaccines creeps a lot of people out for reasons I don't understand.

I think it's the fact that vaccines are heavily pushed on everyone, which is very different than a medication that you choose to take, or your doctor specifically prescribes for you, to address a medical condition. Taking chemicals to cure some disease is different than taking chemicals when you're healthy simply to decrease a risk that you may or may not consider relevant to you. Also, often vaccines are administered not for your own sake but to protect the community, and so again it's a different calculation where you're injecting chemicals (or injecting your kids with chemicals) not because you think you need them but to potentially protect others should you become ill.
Also there often isn't as much explanation around vaccines (besides COVID) as to their makeup, etc., compared to some medication that your doctor prescribes to you (i.e., if my Dr prescribes a blood thinner I'm going to get a pretty thorough explanation of it and can ask questions, whereas with vaccines it feels mandatory without much explanation other than "the surgeon general said to".

So it's not at all surprising to me that there is strong resistance to vaccines from some people who have no problem with medications in general.
This is nonsense. Even the companies that make them often call them silencers. And your information is wildly out of date on how quiet suppressed subsonic ammo can be.

TV pundits are compensated based on their ability to keep audiences engaged. The people who decide that anger-based engagement is acceptable are, like Brian Thompson, executives.

I don't think any of them deserve to be murdered, but the pundits are an odd place to place blame.

Guns are inanimate objects and cannot be ascribed blame. Gunmen and lawmakers can.
On the other hand the books intended to teach physics for lay audience are really good. Feynman had teaching skills.

If you are defending digital free speech and privacy, against the wishes of governments, you are defending the opportunity to spread CSAM.

Necessarily. Data is data.

You may not like that, but you have to choose which is your higher priority: A world that contains platforms which permit digital free speech & privacy despite the preferences of government, or a world with a little less CSAM.

We could always try and prosecute the extraordinarily rare child sexual abusor who is highly social (spreading/selling evidence against them), just like we try and prosecute terrorism or left-wing social activism: With an abundance of enthusiastic government infiltrators and investigators eager to build a case against somebody, rather than with prescriptive automatic filters or with mandatory enthusiastic private-sector infiltrators.
I'm sure Brodsky is a great poet, but there is also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Independence_of_Ukraine
Jesus has absolutely existed as a “warrior” figure. Even in the bible you’ll find some rather “warrior” like descriptions in places like Matthew 10:34, Luke 22:36, Luke 12:51 and so on. Mostly though Jesus has been what Jesus needed to be.

When Christianity was being introduced to Scandinavia where in from, the church sold Jesus as a warrior God similar to Thor. Jesus remained that way until the late Middle Ages, which is where the first accounts of the self-sacrifice begin to enter our history.

Religion isn’t static, it reflects its followers and the society it exists in. Those three parts of the bible I mentioned earlier are a good example. If you look them up in various bible versions you’ll find very different ways to word them. In some they are extremely “warrior” like, in others the word “sword” is not even mentioned.

No one cares that our lives are better than humans who lived thousands of years ago or even 100 years ago. And why should we? The benchmark is other humans living today and how they are faring.

> We'd have to fall pretty far for their standard of living to decline below that of Pharaoh Ramses II.

Fascinating how Beer's radical vision was both so ahead of its time and fundamentally constrained by the technological limitations of the 1970s. Imagine what he could have done with today's distributed systems and real-time data processing. The tragedy isn't that Cybersyn failed, but that we're still catching up to his core insights about organizational complexity.
> That is a true, but We should discourage and condemn them picking up guns.

Nonsense. They will and should pick up guns if the entrenched systems no longer serve the purpose of the majority. Sure, it's not ideal.

But sometimes it's the only way to enact change. Some of the most important rights we have today were won with violence.
Is the question about how to version the query? You have comments before the query that allow you to name the exported function so you could have both queries and name them something different.
You're missing the point. The people running corporations are NOT flagrantly violating the law-as-written, with the courts just refusing to enforce it (for the most part). Rather they bend the law, often through tiny repeated violations of the law-as-written, and also through lobbying/bribing to undermine the creation of directly applicable new laws, to produce abjectly terrible outcomes that end up being de facto legal. So when the average person feels ever-more subject to the law themselves while seeing the terrible corpos continually getting pass after pass, they become ever-less invested in the general idea of the rule of law.
I’m not sure I follow.

What’s uniquely American about killing decision makers? Especially morally questionable individuals? Yeah, it’s a garbage way for society to operate but this is an expression of the human condition.

Java EE was/is a whole platform, framework, deployment model all in one.

Also, most of the verbosity of that early version was very high flexibility (everything could be replaced) plus an XML-based configuration. I wouldn't really count XML in Java's verbosity, nor do I think that comparing it to vanilla Go is meaningful.

For similarly scoped libraries Java is less verbose due to go's error handling being all over the place.

Two important secrets are geography and recent occupation of the land. Rats (like sparrows) need to be around human garbage to thrive.

Alberta's population is highly concentrated in a central corridor that goes from Edmonton to Calgary. Around that there is very little population: the Rockies on the West, the Saskatchewan prairies on the East, the uninhabited Northwest Territories on the North and Montana on the South.

Besides that, the province was established in 1905 and had very few people until the oil boom in the 70s.

These 2 factors made it easy to start early and expand the extermination gradually. These days the wars are mostly outside of the province, to prevent the rats from coming back.

The only rats I've seen here are lab rats, grown under special license. I've had also the tiny field mice (actually it is a vole) in my backyard but they're very easy to catch: just keep the place clean and use a cheap trap once every 4 years.

So our big cities don't have rats but we have lots of sparrows, crows, hares, magpies, squirrels, hawks, coyotes, seagulls, etc... Sometimes we also have white tail deer and pelicans.

Oh, and we have almost no snakes or other reptiles, too! The only one I've seen is the gartner snake but here in Edmonton it is just a little bigger than an earthworm.

I'm Pakistani-Canadian; 22 years old. I got stuck in Pakistan during covid and had to attend university here because I didn't have enough support to return to Canada.

Unfortunately, things aren't safe here for me because I'm a queer person undergoing HRT. I've experienced harassment and want to leave as soon as possible, but my parents' monetary support re: airplane fare is contingent upon me getting accepted into a Canadian pharmacy school (I'm a P2 PharmD Candidate currently).

Whilst I can organise tuition loans and such, I can't afford application fees because I have no disposable income and the currency conversion from PKR is not in my favour. I tried, but could not find any application fee waiver either. We are also highly discouraged from holding jobs while attending school over here. There's no policy against it, but life can be made difficult in other ways.

I am applying to three universities, which are the University of Saskatchewan ($125CAD or $88USD), University of Waterloo ($215CAD), and University of Toronto ($250CAD).

I would appreciate any help I can get. My intention is to get into USask, as that seems my best bet at the moment. I'm willing to provide any verification required, as well.
I don't think consciousness exists separate from the body, so this sounds to me like a contradiction in terms more than an actual thought experiment. It's the kind of thing a technologist can propose because the syntax of the sentences makes sense, but from a philosophical one, it's no more a "thought experiment" than a 4-sided triangle.

There's a 1:1 relationship of consciousnesses and bodies they can possibly inhabit, and we do not now and never have had evidence to the contrary.

Glojure author here. Transpiling to Go is definitely something I've considered — and am still considering! My current focus is on use cases that prioritize interactivity, which makes the existing interpreter-based approach a better fit for now. That said, transpiling parts of the system (especially the core libraries) to Go is a strong possibility down the road, particularly as a way to improve startup performance. After that, it could be made available as a public feature.
I believe there was a study that showed a mix of behaviors because populations with cooperative individuals out-compete in plentiful times and selfish individuals out-compete in scarce times. Hard to Google now because of selfish gene theory.
Bluesky moderation is largely consensual (as is Mastodon moderation in theory, though unless you run your own instance you deputise it to whoever runs your instance in practice); to a large extent, if you don't use blocklists or moderation services, it's almost unmoderated, except for illegal content. I'd argue less 'moderated' than Twitter, really, in that it doesn't by default do things like downrank links.

This blows Decart's Oasis (which raised $25 million at $500 million valuation) and World Labs (which raised $230 million in complete stealth) out of the water.

Google is firing warning shots to kill off interest in funding competing startups in this space.

I suspect that in 6 months it won't matter as we'll have completely open source Chinese world models. They're already starting to kill video foundation model companies' entire value prop by releasing open models and weights. Hunyuan blows Runway and OpenAI's Sora completely out of the water, and it's 100% open source. How do companies like Pika compete with free?

Meta and Chinese companies are not the leaders in the space, so they're salting the earth with insanely powerful SOTA open models to prevent anyone from becoming a runaway success. Meta is still playing its cards close to its chest so they can keep the best pieces private, but these Chinese companies are dropping innovation left and right like there's no tomorrow.

The game theory here is that if you're a foundation model "company", you're dead - big tech will kill you. You don't have a product, and you're paying a lot to do research that isn't necessarily tied to customer demand. If you're a leading AI research+product company, everyone else will release their code/research to create a thousand competitors to you.
