free of obvious ideology

You Can’t Nudge Human Behavior Into Perfection

But they also result from strong financial incentives: the possibility of salaries, book deals and speaking and consulting fees that range into the millions. Researchers can get those prizes only if they can show “significant” findings. It is no coincidence that behavioral economics, from Dr. Kahneman to today, tends to be pro-business. Science should be not just reproducible, but also free of obvious ideology.

это што значит free of obvious ideology? за такое можно и партбилет на стол хоть бы уточнили free of obvious right-wing ideology, это все-таки Правда NYT, надо следить за собой, товарищи.

ну и дальше там подробно про replication crisis, много забавного, вплоть до Even Dr. Kahneman is affected by the replication crisis. - он ведь целый нобелиат, как можно. и нет ли тут антисемитизма.

two gunshots being a suicide

After a local newspaper reported that Webb had died from multiple gunshots, the coroner's office received so many calls asking about Webb's death that Sacramento County Coroner Robert Lyons issued a statement confirming Webb had died by suicide. When asked by local reporters about the possibility of two gunshots being a suicide, Lyons replied "It's unusual in a suicide case to have two shots, but it has been done in the past, and it is in fact a distinct possibility." News coverage noted that there were widespread rumors on the Internet at the time that Webb had been killed as retribution for his "Dark Alliance" series, published eight years before. --Gary Webb

distinct possibility my ass

Back in 1938, when fascism was sweeping Europe, legendary investigative reporter George Seldes observed (in his book, The Lords of the Press) that "it is possible to fool all the people all the time -- when government and press cooperate." Unfortunately, we have reached that point. --The Mighty Wurlitzer Plays On by Gary Webb

Амлинский, Владимир Ильич

Wiki:

В 1950—1951 годах примыкал к молодёжной подпольной организации «Союз борьбы за дело революции». Зимой 1951 года был задержан вместе с остальными участниками и допрошен, но отпущен как непричастный к собственно политическим целям организации.

интересная биография, с какой стороны ни посмотри. целого романа стоит. а писатель он был средний, умеренно бездарный. см. Аптекарша. впрочем, если сравнить с нынешними...

В 1970-х—1980-х годах преподавал в Литературном институте имени А. М. Горького. Среди его учеников такие известные прозаики, как Андрей Молчанов и Олег Корабельников.

Licht out

Chris Licht Is Out at CNN, Ending a Brief and Chaotic Run:

...series of programming miscues — including an ill-fated morning show co-anchored by Don Lemon, as well as organizing a town hall featuring former President Donald J. Trump that was subject to withering criticism

што ж, кто-то должен быть наказан за этот town hall, ясное дело

@amuse:

CNN paid a research firm to find out why its ratings are tanking. The researchers found CNN's viewers stopped trusting the network because of the network's left-wing bias and histrionic Covid reporting. The network brought in Chris Licht to bring integrity back to CNN - Democrats didn't like it and pressured the network to fire him.

@amuse is a parody account, but Licht is out for real

статья в New York Post тоже не слишком комплиментарная. VP Kamala Harris repeats herself again on first stop of Africa trip: ...kept up her run of ponderous, head-scratching statements, но тут хотя бы lithium вежливо не упоминают.

зато towhnall.com откровенно пишут: But the one place Harris will not go is the Congo, where dangerous mines operate to satisfy the left's demands for an "emissions free" society through electric vehicles.

interpretations of quantum physics

Physicists ruefully joke that though new interpretations of quantum physics arrive with astonishing regularity, none ever go away. For many, that joke is turning sour. ‘It is a bad sign’, theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg noted recently, ‘that those physicists today who are most comfortable with quantum mechanics do not agree with one another about what it all means.’ --The Man from the Future: The Visionary Ideas of John von Neumann - pg 42 months.

‘He [von Neumann] was ill at ease with people who were self-made or came from modest backgrounds,’ says Ulam of von Neumann in Princeton. ‘He felt most comfortable with third- or fourth-generation wealthy Jews.’
...
Even Oppenheimer’s landlady in Berkeley was a communist.

Soon after Hilbert issued his challenge, the intellectually dynamic but psychologically frail Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel would demonstrate that it is impossible to prove that mathematics is either complete or consistent. - pg 111

отрывок показательный

однако описание работы Гёделя на стр 113-114 - пожалуй лучшее из всего, что я читал. и еще на стр. 118 описание работ Чёрча и Тюринга.

This seems odd today, but von Neumann, Turing, Norbert Wiener and other thinkers who contributed to the foundations of the field that became known as ‘artificial intelligence’ did think about computers as ‘electronic brains’. Today using ‘brain’ or ‘neuron’ in the context of computers seems laughably naive. - pg 122

laughably naive my ass. дальше там описывается "архитектура фон Неймана" - как я и ожидал, довольно дурацкая история. зато про память на линиях задержки, которую вовсе не фон Нейман изобрел, интересно.

in a better place mentally

nypost.com -- Camille Kiefel, 32, had her healthy breasts removed in 2020 to align with her nonbinary gender identity. She says her doctors approved the surgery after two Zoom meetings, breezing past a whole host of mental health issues. Now that Camille is in a better place mentally, she realizes her surgery was a mistake. So, two and a half years later, she’s suing her social worker, therapist, and the gender clinics they work for — Brave Space Oregon and Quest Center for Integrative Health — seeking up to $850,000 in damages.
