For a moment I thought the "here's how" meant "here's how to play in mud and dirt". Let's do it like pros, folks!
Nobel prize in computer science. Looks like the Nobel Prize committee has forgotten what Physics is.
As most who have already commented here, I'm somewhat unimpressed (and would expect more analytical subtlety from a scientist). Wittgenstein already fully dissected the notion of "free will", showing its semantic variety of meanings and how at some depth it becomes vague and unclear. And Nietzsche discussed why "punishment" is necessary and makes sense even in a completely deterministic world... Sad that such insights are forgotten by many scientists. Often unclear if some scientists want to deepen our understanding of things, or just want sensationalism. Maybe a bit of both...
True that! and a change from 2% to 5% may feel much larger than that.
Musk's attitude is "It's mine, I can do whatever I please". In the long run a person's reply to this attitude is "Fair enough, keep it. I'll use something else". Like I and many others have.
There are surely pros and cons, possibly good and possibly bad outcomes with such restrictions, and the whole matter is very complicated.
From my point of view part of the problem is the decline of education and of teaching rational and critical thinking. Science started when we realized and made clear that truth – at least scientific truth – is not about some "authority" (like Aristotle) saying that things are so-and-so, or a majority saying that things are so-and-so. Galilei said this very clearly:
But in the natural sciences, whose conclusions are true and necessary and have nothing to do with human will, one must take care not to place oneself in the defense of error; for here a thousand Demostheneses and a thousand Aristotles would be left in the lurch by every mediocre wit who happened to hit upon the truth for himself.
The problem is that today we're relegating everything to "experts", or more generally, we're expecting someone else to apply critical thinking in our place. Of course this is unavoidable to some degree, but I think the situation could be much improved from this point of view.
Works via browser too! Very expensive apples though – they better be really juicy.
From what I understand – which can be wrong! – a couple of different things may cause this:
It's a bit confusing, and unfortunately it causes fragmentation.
Maybe there's some problem with the links? If I click the image or the title of your post I only get redirected to an image.
It's sad that they keep using flawed statistical methods in these studies...
Correction: as @Gaywallet@beehaw.org points out, they also use other statistical methods within the paper!
Merry LinuXmas! 🎄🐧
