  • A century of hair clippings show lead exposure rates [in the US] have plummeted

    Jump

  • (FWIW, it says lead emissions dropped the IQ of those affected by 2.6 points on average, not the average intelligence which has not dropped.)

  • There's five more years before she gets a bachelor's degree (grad research school requirements), and by then it's quite likely funding'll be restored.

  • actually permissive like MIT is the OSI (Open Source Initiative) direction. you're thinking of the free software community and the word you want is "copyleft"

  • Study shows that digital treatment with Tetris gameplay can dramatically reduce trauma memories

    Jump

  • that was the opposite of what i meant; sorry i was unclear. when I said "how would it possibly be bad in factors other than efficacy, like BetterHelp was due to data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism" i meant that BetterHelp had many reasons it was bad other than efficacy like data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism, and asked how the tetris treatment would replicate BetterHelp's notorious woes

  • it's not too limited just to assess general efficacy either

  • I'll copy my reply from below as well:

    how would it possibly be bad in factors other than efficacy, like BetterHelp was due to data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism? this isn't even online

    99 is a more than enough sample size as this RCT's Bayes factor is 114 and 15.8 for better efficacy than -control and -regular treatment respectively, which corresponds to "extreme" and "strong evidence" (Lee and Wagenmakers 2013, p. 105; adjusted from Jeffreys, 1961). The Lancet also peer-reviewed the claim "The Bayesian adaptive trial design enabled efficient evaluation with early stopping when convincing evidence was reached (n=99).[2]"

    indeed further testing is needed to establish subgroup effects and improve generalizability but this is already quite promising

  • how is this digital treatment similar to BetterHelp? how would it possibly be bad in factors other than efficacy, like BetterHelp was due to data nightmares and advertising a different mechanism? this isn't even online

  • he's a psychiatrist, involved in political discourse but not the kind of thing that gets editorial review. i'd gauge him as much less crank-y but only a bit more reliable than Curtis Yavin, whom he is in roughly similar Bay Area intellectual circles with (and on the opposite ideological side of)

  • After a routine code rejection, an AI agent published a hit piece on someone by name (EDIT: See description and comments regarding 404)

    Jump

  • You shouldn't be posting that without the context in that comment:

    FYI, the article was presumably taken down because many of the quotes turned out to have been fabricated, and they said they were investigating this. (I don’t think that they are trying to cover up anything, just that they have not gotten around to written an official response yet, given that this is a recent development.)

    Ugh, that is utterly disappointing to see from Ars Technica. Here’s a bit of context about it: https://mastodon.social/@nikclayton/116065459933532659

    Fortunately, the article was already archived, for what it’s worth: https://web.archive.org/web/20260213194851/https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/after-a-routine-code-rejection-an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-someone-by-name/

  • 34 (mainly non–core Anglosphere newspapers) of the 121 platforms TWL can give you access to require an application. The rest you can access automatically, instantaneously right now as long as you meet the stats.

    I mentioned that this (only) solves one (of two) major problems archive.today was used to solve: paywalls. This is also very workable; you already have major newspapers like Haaretz and WSJ available on TWL.

    I also mentioned that the backcatalogue problem can be solved by running a different archiving service on the existing archive.today URLs we use.

    Jump

  • I am an active editor lol. I'm saying that the proposal is to establish something similar to TWL for media URLs. It would serve the same purpose for editors as a major complaint in the discussion was over addition of Archive.today links to bypass paywalls. Obviously developing this deal would take a lot of work but it is workable.

    You must first apply to gain access.

    That's not true. Anyone who meets the stats you mentioned may access TWL.

    the WML does not host any of these publications

    Indeed, that's what makes it legally sound and prevents us from needing to relicense. We don't need to license the content to copyleft for the thing to work.

    Jump

  • Archived pages wouldn't necessarily be the knowledge they distribute, just ways to verify the knowledge they distribute is correct. Content from The Wikipedia Library (which provides access to academia) isn't relicensed at all, for example. Such a service would be a project but not a sister project like Wikisource is,
