I think it's best to think of this as a good toy example, and not get caught up in the specific utility of a "parent" node.

And here I was, innocent, excited to read about a new paradigm for thread management, and wondering why I never knew that wired ran articles that technical.

Now I am cynical and jaded. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I am in way over my head here, so I wasn't able to tell if the authors addressed this, but my intuition is that this should be somewhat mitigated so long as people are providing the filter between which results are discarded and which might end up back in the training pool.

I would think that the human selection process would help to head off this conversion, both by selecting against incorrect results, and also by introducing variance outside of the model. On the other hand since a person can only act as a filter, I can also see how that would be of limited value long term.

I used to love fountain pens, they feel amazing to write with, and the variable line thickness makes everything look awesome.

They are also a massive pain, the higher end ones use gold alloys for the nib, making it delicate, if they aren't used enough the ink dries in the nib, they tend to get ink everywhere, and they can be really inconsistent.

Mercedes, Audi and BMW destroyed their reputation for anyone paying attention a long time ago by producing expensive, unreliable cars that aren't even remotely cost effective to keep running.

Plastic timing chain guides, FFS.

If purposefully building engines that grenade themselves at 80k miles wasn't enough, then it's hard to imagine what would be.

It's really stupid, but you can't tell me that the idea of a manual electric doesn't appeal to the less rational parts of your subconscious.

Could we avoid participating in this? The price hikes were pretty brutal, but tesla and their charging infrastructure are still at or near the top of the list when it comes to electric cars that you can actually purchase, at least from the perspective of someone looking to replace their ancient mazda in the next year or so.

Also people don't deserve to be judged by their car unless it is a modern german luxury car in which case they obviously are the kind of person who makes bad life choices.

I'm actually really pleased with how well youtube avoids serving you rage bait once you have made it clear to the algorithm you aren't interested.

As a rule, can we avoid dealing in absolutes? Implying that the FDA should have no input whatsoever on laws regarding food safety regulation seems a little odd given that they would represent 90% of the relevant experts.

Who would you rather give a theoretical copy of all of your digital information? Assuming both have equal access to non-digital you.

Still a massively irritating addiction though, so I'm perfectly happy to have both be villianized. Also seems embarrassing for a grown man to emit a cloud of strawberry mango scented smoke, but to each their own.

I can definitely see how there could be some overlap, although I've never actually had nicotine sober. Still, seems hard to believe it could be as effective for significant ADHD considering the standard suite of amphetamines is a bazooka by comparison.

Still, the symptoms that get grouped together as ADHD are so diverse that I could see it helping people. Biggest issue is probably relative addictiveness, since after 15 years of adderall use I feel absolutely no desire to take it on weekends or vacation, and that's probably not totally the same for nicotine.

Seconded, the main draw is a better work environment and free tuition.

If money isn't important, finding a good private school might provide a much more pleasant alternative. It may not be the most morally satisfying thing to transfer a good teacher from public to private education, but I went to public elementary and highschool and a private middle school and the contrast is shocking. Small class sizes, vastly better behaved kids, and a social hierarchy dictated in part by academic success, as well as much nicer school supplies and transportation, largely funded through donations from the wealthier families.
