That paper also seems to heavily qualify the findings, implying that environmental factors may dominate genetic ones (or may not, the point is that we don't know):

However, these loci explain only a small proportion of the genetic variance. The “missing heritability” may be explained by other genetic mechanisms and gene*environment interactions

I stand corrected. I'm sure they mentioned this at some point and I skipped over it.

Ah, if you don't think climate change is going to be an issue, then I think I see where you're coming from. I hope you're right.

I think you're missing the bigger problem here - climate change. We cannot drive in ICE cars forever if we want our environment to remain livable. Your car-based lifestyle might be fine for you, right now, but it's still unsustainable and contributing to a worse world for your kids and their kids. If EVs aren't going to to be a drop in solution, then we really do need to talk about reorganizing society away from cars, so that we can have a society at all in the future.

The only other option is some kind of technological silver bullet for carbon capture that manages to arrive in time.

Personally I'm fairly pessimistic about this problem. I don't see a political path to widespread mass transit in the US, and I don't know how you remove the incentive that developing economies have to pollute. It feels like a prisoners' dilemma.

It's pretty affordable though: https://openai.com/api/pricing/

The most up to date LLM is $0.0200/1K tokens (I believe this is tokens returned, approximately 1 word = 1 token, but not quite). I set a billing limit of $50 a month and spent a couple hours playing around this afternoon. It has cost less than $1 so far.

I should have been more precise with my words, I'm talking about universities where adults are attending. I don't think that's true for most universities? At least it wasn't 10 years ago. Back then we all used Facebook quite a bit!

The two schools are University of Oklahoma and Auburn University.

I guess what concerns me is that in some schools, students are required to live in dorms. So to me, it feels like an encroachment on what I would consider the students' personal, private home, where I suppose they should be allowed to access whatever content they like (minus, of course, the content I deem objectionable, like child exploitation, but thats much easier for us all to agree on I think).

This is already happening at a state level, and with some not-unconcerning implications: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/22/tech/tiktok-universities/inde...

For those two schools, students are completely blocked from accessing TikTok on school networks.

Many such cases...

Queen of WSB and yolo record are not a good thing... that is a subreddit that mocks bad risk management by ironically celebrating it. They know exactly what she is over there.

There are a lot of people building their understanding of this situation out of breathless headlines and misleading tweets. And I think there's an element of something like, "if he escapes, that means he really was a genius all along, and now I feel a little less bad for losing my money/believing in him".

Not only is it rare for someone to experience success like Sanderson, it's even rarer for an author to so consistently put out high quality work. The man practically writes a 1,000 page novel a year. He's lucked (and hard-worked) into a lot of leverage here.

What stops someone in a wealthy country from just hiring a bunch of destitute people in a developing country for pennies and borrowing their Worldcoin identities to do bot-stuff? That's kind of how influence networks work anyway, individuals are paid to be indistinguishably legitimate users. It's not like some random guy trying to feed his family is going to give a shit about emailing you his private key if you'll send him some cash in exchange. Odds are he'll never use a "dapp" so it doesn't matter if you trash his Worldcoin identity for your own purpose.

I think it's less a case of saturation and more a case of companies realizing that most data scientists don't actually deliver value commensurate to the salaries they were asking. Most companies simply don't have enough data, or don't have hygienic enough data, or don't have the engineering heft to build a reliable data pipeline, so the data scientists often find themselves set up to fail. I've seen that happen a few times.

But, it's not like the fundamentals of the field are wrong. Predictive modeling is still really useful. It's just larger firms are the only ones capable of realizing that value.

You typically find these people in Evangelical churches that adhere to a literalist interpretation of the Bible, which is the main distinction from other sects of Christianity. These groups also tend to have out-of-mainstream views on eschatology and their own role in bringing the "end times" in the near future (often they believe it will happen in their lifetime).

Which US companies are tracking journalist locations for the Chinese government? Tesla?

What would be the appropriate prison, one where she lives in depravation and is regularly assaulted by guards and other inmates? Our prison system is deeply unjust and more people should be going to her kind of prison rather than vice versa by my view.

The criminal liability is in lying specifically about having the PE license, for work that requires it. Nobody is going to prison for calling themselves an "engineer" on their resume when they apply for a job that itself is called "engineer" by the recruiter.

This is exactly the quantity over quality tactic that he's talking about. "You aren't qualified to debate me unless you read this pile of links to conspiracy blogs and unreviewed open access publications". Nobody is going to engage with that, since the best outcome we can expect is to carefully refute each one, only for you to show up with another pile and again demand we play along.

She got 11 years of which she'll have to serve at least around 9 because it's federal, and that was for something that probably wasn't fraudulent from the very beginning. So, seems like they... won't be okay.

This 22 second youtube video is the supporting evidence linked by the article for that "equal outcomes for every student" line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujpcvIsMZBU

So, your guess is as good as mine, because that video certainly is not some kind of school policy position, as the article implies. I'm pretty suspect of the rest of it, since as someone else pointed out, the school actually did notify the students! They just didn't hold a big ceremony. The actual issue that the parents had is that the physical awards - which were delivered to students, in paper, at school, on their desks, did not arrive before early admission deadlines. The students were informed prior to the deadline by emails to their official school district accounts, which the article says they don't often check.

This just overall feels like a culture war hack piece, it's full of red flags from top to bottom, and I mean, it's from a Federalist byline...

Maybe a better title of this would have been, "Mastodon isn't a good social network for me". It sounds like you'd rather be on some kind of discussion forum with different areas for different topics all united under the same consistent moderation policies.

I think the answer is that the investors aren't OK with this and they've all closed their positions! The stock is down 65% in TTM.

There are several other electric semis, the thread lists their manufacturers at the end.

It's not about the importance of the act of filing paperwork, it's the fraud of lying to customers that you are following the law and then taking their money. For what it's worth, I don't think prison would help. But maybe some non-dischargable liabilities and a ban from being a corporate officer would.

He founded Xamarin and ran Github after the acquisition. So he has the money and is clearly competent as a manager. The lack of detail makes me think it's probably something dumb though, or something that domain experts have already told him is unlikely to succeed. I wish he'd post more info!

Even this metaphor breaks down, in what way would someone who eats at 5 star restaurants be qualified to comment on the structure of the recipe or the reliable sourcing of ingredients? The truth is pretty clear at this point: Musk has no technical chops.

I don't see it in there, where is the source on the negotiations specifically?

> Germany and Russia were negotiating resuming pipeline operations when Nordstream was blown up

Source?
