different advice is appropriate in different situations, believe it or not


Believe it or not, that's a useless fact when there's no obvious specific difference between the situations to make it relevant.


If you don't see a clear difference between the hard sciences of biology/chemistry/medicine and the opinionated "science" of parenting (prescriptive, no less), then you should check your eyes.


I see your point about different qualities of science, but the wording of "highly tuned parental instincts" is still bad. The instincts are the same in both situations, and they're highly flawed. Science should override instincts in lots of situations.

And if you ask basically any kind of science "how do I best accomplish x?", that science will have a "presciptive" answer, so I don't see how parenting science is any more prescriptive then chemistry.


laws that were already broken can still be broken. AI exposed how broken copyright law was. AI companies also broke (and continue to break) that law


I think the problem is that “transformation” has never been clearly defined in copyright law, and that ambiguity is exactly what AI companies lean on in their defense.

At a human scale, those boundaries get clarified through litigation on a case by case basis once an infringement becomes large or obvious enough. But there has always been a gray area around when a derivative work crosses the line into infringement.

And AI didn’t create that ambiguity, it just pushed it to a more extreme scale


it's you


in the US, we call these 'generics'


guess we'll see in a month


whoever made opening a new tab in safari take three taps, the last of which is in the bottom left of the screen instead of the bottom right, has some explaining to do


In the default “compact” layout, I can open a new tab in two taps by tapping the 3 dots, tap “New tab” from the menu.

One tap by holding the 3 dots and dragging finger to the “new tab” item.

But I didn’t like “compact” so switched to “bottom” layout for Tabs from Settings > Apps > Safari.


For iOS, if you swipe up on the url bar, it shows all your tabs and then you hit the new tab (+) on the bottom left of the screen.

You do have to discover that faster way to do it, and the alternative is three taps.


he didn't say the shooter is MAGA

he said the MAGA folks were desperately trying to characterize him as not MAGA

and I can't imagine how you'd argue that's not how they behaved


read the article?


someone should do a study to determine whether diabetics develop blindness more often when on ozempic

perhaps this is that study


Yes, this is that study:

“Patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with the drug Ozempic have an increased risk of developing damage to the optic nerve of the eye.”


i thought "acquired" was a good clue
