  • 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI

  • Agreed. 2000 was fantastic, but that was 9 years before 7. Its been 17 years since 7.

  • Why are programmers so rude to beginners?

    Jump

  • I dont know why some people are assholes. You asked a beginner level question on a forum that allows, I'm assuming, beginners to ask questions. I hope this never happens to you again. Some of us enjoy working with sincere, curious beginners.

    There are ways to talk to these condescending sarcastic assholes. But fuck them. I sorry they were hurtful and I hope you find people who want to go with you on your journey with you.

  • I tend to be skeptical of the reactionary AI is always slop trend. I'm sympathetic to it because it's a response to the hype machine that knows no prudence. But damn when you say

    "Your next move: Build AI foundations. Our work with organisations confirms mounting evidence that isolated, tactical AI projects often don’t deliver measurable value. Tangible returns come from enterprise-scale deployment consistent with company business strategy."

    I read this as marketing. What's the evidence you've been gathering? Why do you believe your projects are applicable to all companies? What happens if we invest and it doesn't help like you say it will?

    This is like saying the solution to your relationship troubles is having a baby. No... No this is not the solution. Make my smaller projects work and show return and then we talk larger commitments.

  • What's the dumbest/silliest reason you got in trouble for in school?

  • 4th grade at a Christian school. My brother was getting into Metallica and so I was also getting into Metallica. Gave a friend a my brother's copy of Kill 'Em All and that he could borrow it for three days.

    My folks didn't really care, but his mom raised hell over it. If you don't know the album, look up it's cover. Its got a bloody hammer in the center with Kill 'Em All st the bottom. She raised hell and I get called into a meeting with the principle and my folks.

    I don't remember what was said, but my dad wasn't going to take any shit from them. I was there to learn and I was a good kid so they can fuck right off. Frankly, I don't remember having any suspension or detention from it. What I do remember was them throwing out the cassette and knowing how pissed my brother would be. That was the real punishment.

    The satanic panic was dumb. And I was lucky enough to not even know it was going on.

  • we define "science" as the aggregate consciousness of scientific researchers

    This is something I wish I could preach convincingly to everyone. The activity of scientists, a social group, are arguing and trying to convince one another that their interpretation of the data acquired by using their tools and methods is what become a scientific consensus.

    Forefronting the method (often a vaguely defined one rooted in a hypo-deductive model from about 150 years ago that most people learned in grade school) removes the relationships between people and other people and people and institutions.

    I wish I could find the paper but there's a wonderful enthographic study on how scientists interact with each other to transform the discourse.

  • Over, under, and misuse have resulted in adaptations by bacteria. Which is to say, life evolves. Its too bad, and there is still a role for antibiotics in our world, but we have to trim our use of it.

  • Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

    Jump

  • Course lengths for antibiotics isn't well studied. From this article:

    In fact, the optimal length of treatment in many common infections is not well studied and may be more than a little arbitrary. One infectious diseases doctor has suggested, somewhat satirically, that most of our current rules for antibiotic administration have more to do with the number of days in the week than they do with robust scientific evidence.

    We have a growing and, frankly, terrifying issue of antibiotic resistant bacteria from over prescribing and longer than necessary courses.

  • I love science

  • I'm not denying that modern evolutionary theories use math and I think it's important, but that in many sciences, math isn't the focus like it is in physics. A lot of good science can be done without math. Darwin did good science without math.

    To be very clear, science doesn't need math. We use math as a tool to accurately describe phememona and relationships with math.

    I don't what you are saying about models being mathematical by definition eben if people can handle it. I don't see how the model of the cell is mathematical. Models require relationships and not mathematics to describe those relationships.

  • I'm not familiar with what they do. Describe it and I might be able to. Or not.

  • I love science

    Jump

  • I hate how we center physics and it's use of mathematical tools as the right way of doing science. Many, if not all sciences today, leverage mathmatical tools to create models. But Darwin, as far as I recall, didn't use math at all. A whole host of sciences don't approach their problems through mathematically described laws or even statistical models. Earth sciences, botany, anatomy, organic chemistry, ethnography, and archelogy come to mind.

    TIL: Young Men Ages 18–29 are Turning Right-Wing and Women of the Same Age Turning Left-Wing

    Jump

  • Both the articles were written in January 2024, ten months before the election. They weren't analyzing the 2024 elections. There is no possibiliy of mentioning elderly white folks ev

    They never mention whiteness anywhere in either article and the FT article is explicitly a global take mentioning Germany, UK, South Korea, Tunisia, and China.

    There is nothing in the FT article implicitly or explicitly blaming "young white boys". It is saying that when there is an ideological gap between young men and women, it has sociological implications.

    I agree that the larger media narrative blames young white men's regressive turn for the Trump presidential win and not elderly white folks or white Gen X women, but this is not that article.
