The problem with bone density can be avoid with extra vitamin D (mentioned in the paper I linked).
Height is based on genetics, not puberty (again, see the paper I linked)
Vocal changes aren't affected at all, they will change as soon as an Testosterone based puberty is started. This is why trans man have low voices too.
I posted one of the better critiques (by Yale) already in the parent comment you're reacting to
For example how it cites the cass report that's been debunked quite a few times already
Why not? What's not reversible about them?
Why wouldn't puberty blockers be reversible?
What's dubious about that peer reviewed study ?
Who's talking about males? Trans woman on HRT are not male, all biological processes in their bodies change because off the hormones
So is that "critique"
Yes because it has no real life consequences like https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01979-5.epdf or https://goodlawproject.org/rise-of-deaths-young-trans-people...
If you don't allow for proper treatment like social transitioning and puberty blockers, they can't be themselves and therefore they can't exist.
Next to this there's also risk of those kids committing suicide because they can't get proper treatment, which is only getting worse with all the anti-trans laws. See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01979-5.epdf
As far as I can tell, you linked to abstracts for a paywalled academic papers.
Just scroll down, no paywall.
The point is about the objective fact of what the kids want. Your moral judgement of what should be done as a result, is irrelevant to that.
This has nothing to do with my moral judgment. If a kid gets diagnosed with gender-dysphoria, they should get proper treatment. Social transition in combination with puberty blockers are the known effective treatment.
Not sure about the US, but here gender-dysphoria in children has to be diagnosed by a team of professionals that aren't allowed to steer them in any way.
I see nothing in your links that supports those conclusions.
I'd start with chapter 5.2.1.7 go from there.
but this too is a complex topic (see e.g. https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/09/08/acc-entry-should-trans... ).
You can either force a trans kid to develop the wrong kind of secondary sex characteristics. With all trauma and painful corrective procedures that will follow later in life, or you can let them take a pill a day which will halt it until they're old enough to make that decision. That really doesn't seem difficult to me.
Also, the link you're responding to isn't a "study", but rather a position document from the NHS
I know but it's still based on the cass report, which claims to be a study.
According to this way more recent study they are totally reversible: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0929693X2...
And this one says the same: https://academic.oup.com/jsm/article/20/3/398/7005631
And then there's article from Yale that actually disproves the cass report where the NHS guidelines are based on: https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/documents/integrity...
I have nothing against trans people, but many people draw the line when it comes to kids.
Except when those children happen to be trans, that case they're not allowed to exist or be mutilated for life, even though it's easily preventable
And this is the major problem. People will blindly trust the output of AI because it appears to be amazing, this is how mistakes slip in. It might not be a big deal with the app you're working on, but in a banking app or medical equipment this can have a huge impact.
Probably.
However impressive LLMs are, they're not AGI.
For example this morning even, I was working together with a coworker and he used ChatGPT to ask for some examples. Unfortunately they didn't work, after reading the actual documentation it turned out that the structure had to be slightly different.
This is the impression I get from everything that has been generated with "AI", on the face it looks great, but as soon as you start going into detail it's not right or just plainly wrong. The generated code had six fingers. They might be able to improve this eventually but I don't think it will ever be fixed because of the nature of LLMs.
Because events are related to users and they both are related to timezones and events can be related to each other. MongoDB is really good for storing big blobs of data you want to retrieve quickly, with some basic search and index, but it's awful at relations between data.
That only makes sense if you wanted to store relational data in a NoSQL database (and that's not what Mongo is meant to do)
Similar to how you can use a socket 771 Xeon in a socket 775 mainboard with changing a few pins and mod the bios.
Developing what? I skimmed the article twice but can't find what they're actually developing.
Yup and if all else fails, just leave (wish I realized that before my burn-out)
How would something like this go with an open source project? Other people could have forked it already, so taking everything down is impossible.
Yeah, Chrome has the same feature
Don't forget that this study exists: https://cdn.netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2017/09/displacement_s...
I build something similar when I was a teenager. I actually worked amazingly well as an antenna for DVB-T
Yes! And 640K ought to be enough for everyone!
The Commander X16 and Foenix F256K are new machines that you could comprehend completely. I don't really want to call them modern though.
I had something similar. A couple of years ago I bought on old house. The previous owners did most of the work themselves from the 1960s on.
The zinc gutter had leaked for probably decades and it destroyed part of the roof structure. The roof was held up by the wooden paneling the used to cover it on the inside (70s). So the wooden paneling was actually load bearing
Actually I've found way more stuff in this house. For example at the end of the roof the tiles weren't wide enough and instead of buying extra roofing tiles, they decided to fill it with cement and pieces of ceramic flower pots.
Wouldn't it be possible to change it to use Lemmy or some other alternative?
That's just the reality of writing code, we all make mistakes and they haunt us all :)
This is incredibly similar to what's happening (has happened) to Philips.
