I think prestige is hard to gauge from availability channels, and ebbs and flows. Sometimes visibility even increases interest and regard, if it's a sort of forgotten film. Night of the Living Dead has been freely available for some ti

I have a hard time keeping up with the literature on this and it's not exactly my area of research, but the "overfitting is ok" always seemed off and handwavy to me. It violates some pretty basic information-theoretic literat

The OK Cupid blog was on my mind as I read it as well. The thing interesting about that blog was — if I remember it correctly — they posted results of initiations by men and women. That suggested there was kind of an optimal strategy for me

I'm curious about some of the suggestions people might have. For art and design I subscribe to newsletters from Dezeen, Hyperallergic, and Artnet, among others, like local museums. Dezeen articles I usually like to read; the other two

There's a process in law for this, and he can't simply remove programs wholesale that have congressionally allocated funds. This is all in law, which is why people are calling this a coup. The coup isn't so much about the fir

Not trying to be sarcastic but everything you're saying is all clearly stated in Article 1 of the Constitution, which branches do what. It feels as if part of what's going on is leveraging of either feigned or real ignorance about

Personality is much broader than gender IMHO, the latter is one small part of the former. Gender as a term is unique in meaning in that way.

So... 1. If true, yes maybe not as bad as it seems at first, but... 2. Some of those terms are not equivalent at all, like the first. The last two are very different, and don't necessarily have anything to do with trans anything in the

I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about this as a security breach. Let's say hypothetically Musk decided to sell all the private information to a malicious actor. How would we know or not know? Accountability is more

I think the question is the nature of the losses in the two cases, the transparency circumstances about them, and who exactly is making the decisions about specific datasets. Time will tell but loss of public datasets is probably not usuall

I was immediately reminded of Rope by Hitchcock, although the nature of that rationalization is somewhat different.

I've worked professionally on cases that have parallels. It suffices to say people sometimes have second thoughts in the moment.

I've read before with interest the phenomena discussed in this article, and I find it fascinating. This is one of the better-written about it in my opinion. It seems like it should be possible to model this along with surveys of media

Americans also voted for their US Senators and Representatives. It's funny how these discussions forget about that, which is part of the problem. It's also worth remembering how the Trump campaign consistently denied Project 2025,

Seems like a false dichotomy, between authoritarianism and Kafkaesque bureaucracy. An effective administration would be thoughtful about things and reorganize rather than simply cut. So they're either being thoughtful and decided somet

It's really hard (emotionally or motivationally) to undereat, which is what you need to do consistently for a long time to lose weight. Aside from the hunger issue, food is enmeshed in all sorts of value having nothing to do with nutri

It's a useful piece, thanks for posting it. Flagging of misinformation has become a controversial topic but for me personally it strikes me as odd to even do such a thing at all. Or rather, if there's a need for such a system it s

I agree with you but I think society has a certain bias that way — a saint or genius bias or myth. It extends into science and engineering itself, although I don't think it's limited to that domain either. What's interesting

I think that's part of why it's always been a little bit of a head scratcher for me — I didn't really go into it curmudgeonly, I was genuinely interested in it, people seemed to like it, and I was interested in something new.

So it's several things. Bear with me because finding news reports that I remember is difficult now because search results are flooded with stuff about the ban so I can't find what I'm looking for. One concern is a general one

Not disagreeing with you as TikTok obviously works for a lot of people, but its recommendation algorithm never came anywhere near working for me after several attempts at it over fairly long periods of time. I can't say I like YouTube

He even emphasizes this in the piece — he extols the librarian as having the skills to recognize patterns in how people recall books, which includes imperfect memories.

... also the orbits themselves ideally? Maybe I missed it but in looking at some of the larger orbits it was hard to zoom in and out to figure out what orbit went with what. It would have been nice to more easily click on the orbit. I reall

I think that's about right. Another way of thinking about this is that the author is confusing time as measurement (how much time) with time as rule (what time is it). If you wanted to measure the duration as a difference in clock time
