If a person got sevely sick or died after believing lies that seems less important than if the wrong song played in the background of the youtube video?

About 20 years ago Lee Smolin published "The Trouble with Physics" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Physics) and Peter Woit published "Not even Wrong" where they described the core problem with String theory as people attached to the community to the general public of interest (i guess mostly scientists).
Since then, things have shifted a little bit, and the mindset is
changing. That does not mean that everything is peacy already - people who got their professorships 20 years ago may be heads of chairs right now.
I also am fully convinced (as a former experimental physicist who has nothing to do with particle physics) that sometimes it is necessary to follow and explore theories which do not result in immediate predictions. You only will know later if it did not work, and in the current interpretation on youtube there is a lot of hindsight.
That's an interesting link, thank you.
The "nuances or causal factors" do show up -- somewhat -- farther down that report:
It is sometimes less obvious when an electric burner is turned on or is still hot than it is with gas burners. In addition, once turned off, it takes time for an electric burner to cool. UL 858, Household Electric Ranges, which took effect in June of 2018, includes requirements for electric coil ranges to prevent the ignition of cooking oil. Compliance may be demonstrated by either not igniting cooking oil in a cast iron pan or keeping the average temperature of the inside bottom surface of the pan below or equal to 725F (385C). All electrical coil ranges being manufactured now must meet these requirements. Because ranges last a long time, it could be years before these safer ranges become common in US homes.
Fair. MY point is that I don't trust that source because whomever/whatever wrote it made a logical error.
OK. But copied the quote from where? I can't find a source worded like that.
"According to Forbes, there were 868 U.S. billionaires as of 2025, holding a combined wealth of $6.72 trillion as of the end of 2024, a decrease from the 813 reported by Forbes in its April 2024 list but with increased overall wealth.
How is 868 a decrease from 813?
"You just have to ensure that your prompt uses terrible grammar and is one massive run-on sentence like this one which includes all the information before any full stop which would give the guardrails a chance to kick in before the jailbreak can take effect and guide the model into providing a "toxic" or otherwise verboten response the developers had hoped would be filtered out."
Is this example of terrible grammar intentional or unintentional?
That is a sign of the sucess of the language. It means that there are a lot of envitonments in which it runs productively with a well defined scope, very often embedded into an bigger system or package.

Which is exactly the problem. It is a very big and important project and in the current organization structure it seems to have a bus quota of one.
Oh, it's a good dupe. Some people are telling me it's one of the best dupes.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Solid oxide fuel calls can generally "autoreform" hydrocarbon fuels into their elemental parts so they don't need to run on pure hydrogen. They can run on natural gas, ethanol, methanol, even some on ammonia which doesn't emit CO2 at all. I don't know if *this* fuel cell has that flexbility but high temp fuel cells generally have it.
Gaseous hydrogen, green or otherwise, is a terrible fuel and I don't understand how any reasonable person sees a future for it.
Please go back and look at the post I originally responded to, and read it carefully, looking at its logic.
The school would rather see a child arrested than be the site of a mass shooting or lawsuit.
Setting aside your "or lawsuit", would you rather have a school be the site of a mass shooting than see a child arrested?

Yep. We all know that quote, and probably most of us agree with it.
There's a huge difference between "a little temporary Safety", though, and an absence of mass shootings.
