It's really frustrating to watch this play out. There should be a disclaimer in the social sciences with these sorts of studies.

Disclaimer: "I believe that nurture, rather than nature, plays a larger role, generally speaking, in the development of an individual's occupational aspirations", or vice versa.

> Here's an model explaining the "Gender Equality Paradox" that doesn't rely on the crutch of assuming different preferences. Women pay some fixed cost for being in the labor market, in general. Perhaps due to discrimination, perhaps to something else. As such less likely to pursue a costly STEM education in college. However, they become more likely to pursue a STEM education as the returns increase. Women respond to incentives. The bigger the non-service sector of the economy, the more income there is to gain from a STEM education. As it gets higher (which tends to be the case in less developed countries) more women enter STEM programs. In developed countries the STEM premium is lower (Someone in a service job like a lawyer or accountant will do just fine).

This fits the data we have available, doesn't require that we assume our conclusion (we just assume women respond to incentives), and is able to help explain other phemonena. It's got a lot of features we want in a good model!

Edit: It seems like he assumes some "fixed cost" in order to counter the finding that women are less likely to pursue STEM education.

Is there something I am missing?

It was driving clicks/viewership.

If it bleeds, it leads was 20th century. Now what we have is fearmongering and outrage soundbite peddlers.

Now that Apple has taken the lead in performance/battery life tradeoff, are there any machines which come close to the M1 for software dev? Specifically, compiling Rust, Android development etc. without giving up too much on battery life?

Also, the last time I checked, CPUs were reporting high performance but only under light load. Has the whole throttling situation changed or should I just expect to get 2 hours battery life in exchange for extreme CPU performance?

Edit: I should have specified machines that can run Linux.

It is easier to determine the increased sensitivity as one could refer to the topics that come up in the media e.g. free speech, standardised testing, shifting language around womanhood e.g. birthing people.

The issue of "dangerous" is much more subjective. That one is going to take a little while longer to play out. After all, what is wrong with increased sensitivity to "harm"? Then the next step becomes "what do we do to correct or mitigate the harm?"

The effects of eliminating all hierarchy in education might be good? Hiring based on demographics rather than qualifications might be good? Who knows?

Perhaps when policy becomes linked to the new notions of "harm" is the point when it becomes dangerous?

Yes, social media is the pot in which all the ingredients are brewed.

Interesting point. I think it's something of a "dialectical" process. In periods of peace, micro-harms become important, in periods of war etc. the micro-harms lose priority. So I don't think there is an endgame, it's probably more of a "what context are we in right now?"

I don't think psychology is the sole or even main issue at hand though I think that it is an ingredient in the rise to prominence of the "harms" concepts. I am more inclined to the lack of religion and the role of human evolutionary biology, in addition to the distortion in the social sciences, as providing the best explanations I have heard so far for the current social phenomena.

I didn't know much about her but color me intrigued. She sounds like an antidote to the zeitgeist and a voice that is sorely needed.

While I completely agree with the general sentiment of your comment, I believe that it has not been asserted that the bullying was the main factor for her death. At least as far as what Chappelle said during the show.

Arguing that labour camps, apartheid, the raping both literal and figurative as well as outright genocide that occurred were justified because people today are "freer" (IYO) is a stretch.

I don't know man, but arguing for a process that discriminated against people on the basis of their color is something that I thought was a thing of the past. I guess I was wrong.

> Propose one colony where the indigenous society was freer

So the assertion is that being colonised increased their freedom?

It's not even a debate. Where are the triumvirate of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld after falsely starting a war and destabilising an entire region? It doesn't matter what the country stands for, it's what it does that counts.

Due process only applies to American citizens depending on how wealthy you are. The rest of us are sh* out of luck. Which was GP's point.

>> But at least with the U.S. there is due process and some accountability

Everyone has their pet film and it so happens that the first Matrix movie is mine. Anyway, I stopped watching movies over a decade ago and i can't pinpoint the precise straw that did the trick.

Maybe it was the million other straws underneath it.

I just found out that there is a new Matrix movie and I am honestly a little bit horrified. I have zero confidence that the downhill progression in movie quality will somehow be turned around given the current state of Hollywood.

> I've continuously been quite impressed about how open they are about the limits of what they can offer.

If by that you mean "By default, we do not log metadata ...", I would at the very least disagree with your characterisation.

I feel like some AI has decided that this video is "good for you". I have some videos on my feed for weeks on end. Now some videos I have already seen are reappearing without the red bar to signify that I have already watched them.

Something definitely stinks with the algo on YT currently. At least for me

As they drop bombs on innocent people across the Middle East. smh

Here is one of those CEO's we should trust.

I wish there was an option for dark mode or something.

Yeah, that's a valid concern and perhaps you might find an answer here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34708509/how-to-use-retu...

> The SET and WHERE clauses in ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE have access to the existing row using the table's name (or an alias), and to rows proposed for insertion using the special excluded table.

Therefore you can do DO UPDATE SET table_name.column = Excluded.column WHERE table_name.column IS DISTINCT FROM Excluded.column RETURNING *

In theory, the weaker team can "try" to get the ball out the back as fast as possible but in practice, I see penalties for teams getting steamrolled in the scrum quite often which would suggest that the tactic is not entirely effective.

I don't understand much of what goes on in the scrum, but I love watching the battle for dominance over the course of a game. Are there collapsed scrums frequently? Yes. But it is an aspect of the sport that gives a chance for the heavies to shine. The increasing use of mauls on the other hand...

Christianity as practiced is a different matter altogether. The ideal fails when it comes into contact with intrinsic human motivations such as desire for power, status, wealth e.t.c

That's been pretty much my conclusion as well. I can mostly find some kind of long-form content to consume and although the feed algorithm sucks, the recommendations on the video page itself usually make up for it.

I am reminded of Slavoj Zizek's story about Niels Bohr having a horseshoe above his door:[0]

"surprised at seeing a horseshoe above the door of Bohr's country house, the fellow scientist visiting him exclaimed that he did not share the superstitious belief regarding horseshoes keeping evil spirits out of the house, to which Bohr snapped back: "I don't believe in it either. I have it there because I was told that it works even when one doesn't believe in it at all." This is indeed how ideology functions today: nobody takes democracy or justice seriously, we are all aware of their corrupted nature, but we participate in them, we display our belief in them."[1]

Regardless of the current usage of the battery info on a user's mobile, why shouldn't they leverage it to extract maximum value? This is exactly the kind of dark pattern a la Booking.com ,albeit behind the scenes, that I would expect from any tech company today. Or maybe I read too much doom and gloom headlines on HN nowadays.

On the other hand, theres YT which has remained pretty much the same UI-wise for as long as I can remember. And it is terrible.

I cannot search for videos about python that are longer than 1 hr. That is my pet peeve and regularly drives me up the wall. I have wanted this for years.

In addition to that, my feed is static. It's like I'm being told, "hey you, we know that you will like these and I won't show you aught else until you watch them first". Aarrrghhh.

I can believe it. I have over 2,000 tabs open over the last year. Before the last "clean up", I had 4,000 tabs open. As GP noted, most of them are unloaded (I would say around 3/4). I have 32GB RAM, so firefox issues are a distant memory. (pun intended)
