* Train you to the best of your ability

* giving you a no-shame route up and down so that you can choose your own level of challenge, which entails

* giving you opportunities to try the more gifted programs to see if you'd do well and enjoy them

and also

* giving you the opportunity to choose a less demanding program in which you can find and adequate level of challenge (if you need to)

BUT

* treating disruptive behaviour as a choice to go to a less demanding program

been shamed too many times, man. Moral failing itself became just a button people try to press in my brain. Often very dishonest people. So, welcome to moral learned helplessness, and damn the moralizers.

One could say 'the wisest sages know to value style and substance'

Or even: 'the wisest sages know that incorrect results can be based on some sound thinking and some muddled thinking, and correct results can be derived by tortuous thinking'

Or maybe: 'the wisest sages know that some things are neither objectively true nor objectively false, and can appreciate good arguments for positions they disagree with'

> However, in about 10% of the instances in which AlphaFold2 was “very confident” about its prediction (a score of at least 90 out of 100 on the confidence scale)

I wonder what that confidence score means... If it is 90% probability, then we'd expect it to be wrong 10% of the time

Reading the article, it seems that this relates not to the internet archive, that is privacy preserving, but to another public library (that aparently was leaking or selling data -- I did not read it entirely)

> During the French and Indian War, the Hochstetler Massacre occurred: Local tribes attacked the Jacob Hochstetler homestead in the Northkill settlement on September 19, 1757. The sons of the family took their weapons but father Jacob did not allow them to shoot due to the Anabaptist doctrine of nonresistance.[10] Jacob Sr.'s wife, Anna (Lorentz) Hochstetler, a daughter (name unknown) and Jacob Jr. were killed by the Native Americans. Jacob Sr. and sons Joseph and Christian were taken captive. Jacob escaped after about eight months, but the boys were held for several years.[150] When freed, both of these sons joined the church and one of them became a minister
