I'm the author of the top answer, and I believe that this is the top-voted thing that I ever posted on any StackExchange site. It was a lovely surprise to see it here today, and I hope that everyone else enjoyed reading it. Merry Christmas!

Ha! Well, that's what I get for having studied Classical Greek in school but not Modern Greek.

Katastropheas dedomenon

Means, I think, "given over to overthrows".

Didn't even notice that. I would change it now, but we're outside the edit window.

Sorry, but that video is also bad. The whole point is that not everything needs to be a campaign ad.

(Additionally, the video is twice as long as it needs to be. By minute 4 I was bored and scrubbed ahead to see if he was going to do something other than beat the dead horse some more. The turn into the antithesis finally happens around minute 10, at least 5 minutes after it should have been over.)

Funny, looking at those pictures greatly reduced my interest in the genre of body-painting, if that's what world champions look like. They certainly have technical expertise, but nonetheless to my eye they are both ugly and off-putting by the ubiquity of their political subtext. And it's not even politics that I necessarily disagree with! But political cartoons are not improved if you paint them on a human body.

I think that typescript meets all 5 of the items in your first list.

You repost good stuff, so a link can travel several hops to someone, but it must have been filtered through a friend.

This is exactly how Tumblr works, and is a big part of why Tumblr is actually a great social network for the people who have stuck it out there.

Yes, mostly.

Though I'm a bit curious what the links are, since I have been using their repo for a few months and don't recall ever seeing a link to actual porn. There was an external site that had a bunch of generated anime girls with the expected anatomical proportions.

What GP means is that ChatGPT output is generally not similar enough to any _particular_ source document to establish the fact that it's derivative. Instead, it resembles what you'd get if you asked a (credulous and slightly dumb) human to read a selection of documents and then summarize them. These kinds of summaries are absolutely not copyright violations, even if the source document can actually be identified.

Strongly agree. I could see a "hard mode" in which you only get the audio, but I consider the clever use of all available clues (text, video content, appearance of performer) to be part of the game.

Unfortunately, the leaderboards are currently dominated by cheaters reporting times of 0.0s. However, once you exclude those then my current rank of #28 actually is #7, which isn't bad at all.

I don't think the person you're replying to denies the importance of teachers. Rather, it's that students don't know about the quality of teaching before they get to the school and generally have little way of finding out even if they wanted to, and so other factors actually determine their decisions.

One wonders if this isn't the esoteric reason for writing the paper in the first place. The "victories" involve getting parties to agree to subtle linguistic changes to various documents which have no impact at all on the actual problem they're supposedly addressing, and writing a paper that points this out sure seems like a way of making the whole enterprise look ridiculous, even if the explicit frame is one of praise.

What you're describing is restaurant nachos, which is indeed a very nice meal. Ballpark nachos are a deliberately simplified version made to be very easy to serve and eat out of a flimsy paper tray. They aren't great, but they're salty and savory and crunchy, which is good enough for munching on at the game.

Some good and interesting ideas, but ultimately it falls apart into the same old thing: "the problem with the internet is that we aren't censoring people I disagree with."

How in the world is Arcane considered anime? It wasn't written or produced in Japan, nor does it have the anime style.

The difference, I think, is that nobody goes to "Substack", they go to particular people on Substack. The existence of low-quality stuff on Substack doesn't have any impact on me at all, since I never see it and don't have to interact with it.

I suppose there is someone out there who actually browses the Substack front page, but this is very far from being the dominant mode for substack content.

If your analysis is correct, then the only honest thing the CEO could do would be to shut the service down. And that obviously isn't going to happen: no one shutters a profitable company over the trivial inconvenience that its core product doesn't work, and the actual stakeholders have obvious incentives to convince themselves that it DOES work.

If you are unwilling to sell something useless, then your best bet unfortunately is to quit.

Twitter said that their censorship was against misinformation and hate speech. A great many people noticed that their actual implementation was erratic, inconsistent, and partisan, and would like for them to stop.

Was going to add this myself. It's too bad that the videos linked above only give a minute or so to Spiritual Warfare, because unlike Bible Adventures, Spiritual Warfare was actually good! I played the heck out of that game, knew the location of every fruit, and had pretty much the entire game map committed to memory.

I'm curious about this peer group in which failure to have a cellphone results in "complete and utter exclusion". My nieces and nephews are in this age range (10-13 yrs), and none of them have cell phones, and none of them suffer total exclusion from their peer groups. As far as I can tell, they're all socially active and popular. Apparently it's different where you live, but I would take that as a bad sign on several levels.

You don't want your kid to be that kid who doesn't have a smartphone

Why not? If you think that smartphone usage is harmful to your child, then you absolutely are justified in letting them be "that kid". Being moderately socially constrained is actually a perfectly fine thing if the alternative is worse.

Being socially excluded was the bane of my life in school, and I'll be damned if I'm going to be a contributing factor to my child becoming a pariah

I don't know anything about you in particular, so I can't say whether this is a good idea or not. But we have to recognize the tradeoffs: unfettered access to social media from a young age with all of its downsides OR being the only kid without a cellphone and those accompanying downsides. Which one harms your kid more? Think about it and make your decision, but once you've made that decision you have to bite the bullet and accept the costs.

Can anyone explain why "agora" (a Greek word meaning "market") was removed? I can at least perceive the motive, as silly as it is, behind the other two, but this one has me stumped.

It's basically a Mexican standoff, right? In the timeframe of months to years, Europe needs to buy Russian oil and gas as much as Russia needs to sell them. Neither side can unilaterally break off the relationship without suffering massive harm. Getting to full energy independence with renewables is a project that will take a decade or more, not something that you can do in the timeframe of the current conflict.

In contrast, there is no evidence to suggest that these negative diversity impacts would exist in the context of a mandatory math course (i.e. that racialized teacher candidates might disproportionately fail these math courses), and we do not think such an inference can be made on the basis of logic or common sense.

Uh... what? Performance outcomes differ between racial groups in mandatory classes all the time. If the argument really is that "disproportionate impact" in classroom outcomes is enough to render a policy unconstitutional, then your only option is not to measure outcomes at all, because every educational measure shows differences between races.

I edited the quote above to contain the court's entire statement from the finding, because it's even more damning and removes the possibility of a less absurd reading. Apparently the justices know absolutely nothing about education and race because they don't know that "racialized teacher candidates might disproportionately fail these math courses" is exactly what we should expect, because that's exactly what we find in every other educational context.

Indeed. Every time I read a post like the grandparent I move closer to full-blown antivaxx.

Who's "we"?

I don't intend any hostility here. But I have never gotten a flu vaccine in my life, and it seems deeply silly to me to get a yearly shot just to cut down on the chance of mild illness. A quick poll of my acquaintances reveals that almost no one in my social circle gets flu shots, either. This makes me wonder whether the antagonism to mandatory COVID boosters is just an intensification of an existing divide between people who already get yearly jabs and people who don't, a divide which was mostly unobserved until now because it wasn't politically relevant.

(Minor grammatical edits.)

I would volunteer. It turns out that I have COVID right now, giving me a mild headache, nasal congestion, and a persistent cough---annoying, but not more than that. I would have gladly volunteered for this level of mild discomfort in order to advance the cause of science. Wouldn't even be hard.
