I think it is very hard to get unbiased research on procreation related topics because people not only try to justify their own life or (conflicting?) desires for their life but what they want their children to do, etc, which is also not just about one topic like grandchildren, it is also about social standing through anticipated judgement of others.

Musk for example seems to be on the edge of having sabotaged everything he worked for over indirect ways to gerrymander society and try to control just one of his children's lifestyles and/or distance himself from approval of it. Warren Buffet's relationship with money/work philosophy and grandchildren is perhaps even more interesting though a less dramatic demonstration of the power of procreation related topics over people.

I sit here wondering how Ryan Williams' treatise on Simulating Time in Square-Root Space could be applied to this problem [0]. I guess, to apply it effectively, one would need to express the packing algorithm as a tree-structured computation and implement the Tree Evaluation framework (Cook/Mertz), potentially integrating it with existing heuristic searches ... This would enable space-efficient exploration of hashtable configurations during precomputation, particularly useful for memory-constrained environments.

But its still not clear to me if this would be practically useful enough.

I grew up in Frankfurt/Main's Hellerhofsiedlung - and in the 1980s, a (smaller) variant of this was still the standard kitchen in those apartments. We moved out in the mid-1980s, when I was still a kid ... but the photo alone brings back memories (though ours had some 1970s-style 'Prilblumen'-chique[1]. Turns out "form over function" did not appeal to the audience... No architectural or industrial design act – but stickers! Popular subversion. A people’s décor.)

What this article does not go into depth in about is how related furniture was to kitchen appliances - e.g. the furniture had a built-in bread-cutter (think 'saw blade with a hand-jank').

[1] Tried to find an article in English, but basically a dishwasher detergent company added flower-style stickers to their product - and that became a bit of a cultural movement in the 1970s/1980s. Related ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYpK0A6k5oQ

> When anyone realizes that they’re spending too much money it is natural to go down the list of expenses and see which ones they can eliminate.

No such realization happened. All that happened is that conservatives are lashing out against their perceived enemies and against those they see as easy target.

Also, the proposed budget bill represents will cause biggest deficit in a long time - and for years to come. If they were worried about affordability or deficit, that would not be happening.

Azer Koçulu has never been a scourge to the NPM ecosystem. Nobody forced anyone to use left-pad. The reason it got included in so many projects is due to messy transitive dependencies.

Jon Schlinkert on the other hand is going out of his way to produce these micro libraries and then include them in his widely used legitimate projects (handlebars-helpers) with zero willingness to simply integrate them into the projects that actually use them. Here is the deal: Do you want to be trolled? Then use handlebars-helpers, if not, then stop using the damn library.

NPM (well Microsoft) forcibly took guy's package to give the name to this company: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-45568276

Since then the name is basically squatted?

Whether you use left-pad or not is up to you... but this Kik story is just a bad look for Microsoft all around.

From the perspective of national and social development, this is definitely a dross culture. This system similar to hierarchy seemingly increases the courtesy among people. However, it more often leads to age bullying, blind obedience to the elders, and hinders resistance and innovation.

Influenced by Confucian culture, China doesn't have such a perverted etiquette system at all.

I also great up in Texas (30yo now). I was raised to always say sir/ma'am but for most adults that I knew well, we were on a first name basis. Deacons at church were usually on a first name basis (my parents volunteered a lot so I knew them all really well) but the one noticeable exception was the pastor and anyone in a teaching role.

Teachers were always addressed by Mr/Mrs/Ms and this extended into Scouts as well. For anyone I don't know, I tend to just say "sir/ma'am" (employee at the grocery store for example) unless. If the person has a professional title that I know of, I will use the title (Dr. Martin, Professor Lake, etc).

My parents I suppose were very similar. Sir/Ma'am for most interactions, but I don't recall hearing a Mr/Mrs/Ms when they referenced other people in our lives.

Since I've moved to Europe a few years back, I'm trying to follow the local customs more, which at first glance seem very similar (Netherlands). Formal for strangers, informal for basically everyone else. I've tried using the formal with some older neighbours and they always tell me stop immediately!

I gravitate to open source, native or self hosted applications. But I have to say that onshape is really neat.

I just do relative simple object for 3D printing, every few month. And onshape was easy to get into.

From BRIO connectors for my nephews wooden train set, book binding helpers for a coworker, case for LED controllers .. easy peasy.

Just fill pattern and text are always a struggle.

But I just know, at some point Onshape will start charging us freeriders.

Its actually a big change, as swiping up just opens the Google Maps bottom menu. The home row replaces gesture nav (which I can't stand...another UI feature they've been slowing pushing)

My current workaround is to trampoline off another program, like Spotify, or the BT settings, that has a constant notification then i can click that which opens the lock screen.

But even a small sounding change can be significant. After the last Gemini push, the alarm clock now would "stop" on voice command, but it would activate for random noises you made, cancelling my alarm for work; the settings were hidden in another app, not the alarm. It wasn't even promoted so nobody knew. This release mentions even more Gemini integrations...

Taking the chance: As a hobbyist with a decent CNC with no intent of using it for commercial work: Linux "support" was driving me from Fusion to Onshape. CAM is driving me back to Fusion.

Please consider pushing the idea of having CAM for the hobbyist level in Onshape in your company, I know there's not much in revenue us hobbyists, but I'd gladly pay up to 20-50 per month for such a license. At least that's more money than 0 :).

Stick a BIOS password on your machine and turn on Secure Boot.

Unless there's an exploit in your firmware, you are now secure against petty criminals stealing your data to even somewhat sophisticated attacks from non-state actors via data exfiltration, software keyloggers, etc.

You can go another step further and use Secure Boot in a chain of trust up to the kernel with Linux, ensuring everything up to the kernel from boot isn't tampered.

Secure Boot isn't about protecting yourself from the OS or software, it's about establishing a chain of trust from the boot process up so you are running the system you intend to run.

This comment assumes you're using disk encryption on top of Secure Boot. When doing FDE, unless your firmware supports it, part of the boot process must be unencrypted to spin up encrypted disk access, and to protect that process, you can sign the unencrypted software to ensure its authenticity despite lack of encryption.

I find it really interesting how much weight that simple question "What year were you born?" carries in Korean social life. A Korean friend once told me that it’s not about prying into your private life, it’s about figuring out how to talk to you and what to call you.

It also made me realize that a lot of the small social details we take for granted might seem really jarring or even rude in another culture.

> These kinds of things now point me in a direction where I consider advertising alone to be immoral and want it banned.

I (personally) think that's going too far. Targeted advertising has been really, really good for small businesses, and given that local newspapers are basically dead and TV/radio are expensive, these business kinda have to use Meta/Google et al.

And that's fine (IMO obviously). The actual problem here is the insatiable drive for growth from public companies/the markets, coupled with wide-scale equity ownership within the companies concerned leads to people doing mental stuff like the OP to drive those numbers up.

A bunch of this is fixable by massive, massive fines (on the part of the EU). The better solution would be for the US to introduce GDPR/DMA like regulation, as US based companies are more likely to follow their home countries laws, but that's not gonna happen any time soon.

The structural problems are harder to resolve, maybe lengthen vesting schedules and/or move back towards dividends to encourage longer-term thinking and approaches.

According to a traditional East Asian world view, your life is influenced by the powers that govern each unit of time -- hour, day, month, year -- that you pass through.

Under this system, the number of distinct powers that you were influenced by is more important than the exact number of days or years that you spent on this planet. Korean culture is still saturated with this stuff. You can DM a shaman your date of birth, and they'll use this kind of system to tell your fortunes.

I've figured it out. The error means that this call fails:

const animation = animationElement.getAnimations()[0];

As Firefox supports `getAnimations` since 2020, I figured something else is messing up with it. I've tried to enable "reduced motion" in the system settings and it broke the animation!

It is because I had force-disabled all animations on the site when this option is enabled.

I patched it, it should work now. Thank you for your help!

EDIT: typo

EDIT2: I also added simple error handling to display a message if parsing the animation fails.

Unfortunately, yes. Even tho I find both abhorrent abominations of design.

Glass is a pain in itself and "preparing for a future in spatial computing" is such a bullshit line when the spatial computing future is still 5-10 years away at minimum, and will not be achieved with Apple Vision, at least not in the current shape and form.

Meanwhile, Material Expressive is trying to force a 2020 graphic design trend onto mobile apps. It literally feels like designers at google just wanted to do something new and modern, so they went with a bland corporate "modern design" aesthetic, that reduces UX in name of UI - even tho they are like oooooh users found this button 30% faster, it would be well fucking expected, since highly-paid designers have just redesigned the thing.

Meanwhile, apps will continue to be made in their own style.

Apple will release liquid glass support with 26 and we'll see it appear in new apps. At the same time, Google will probably do a partial release of the new material components for developers, where a giant part of components will lack features described by the design spec, a bunch will be missing, and a bunch will be utterly unusable because Google can't create a good DX to save their lives.

>The argument that marriage--actual, traditional, heterosexual bindings that produce fresh generations--is useless stands contradicted by the dwindling of a future generations.

This only makes sense if you start from the perspective that the lack of a nuclear family is the cause of problems.

That's a very clear bias that isn't really reflected by reality. This is outdated conservative logic.

> If you mean an email (or the part before the @), also no. People sometimes sign up from addresses like contact@example.com, and "dear contact" would be super confusing.

I was going for the principle that we're not trying to mimic human emotions when it's a mail to remind you to accept the latest TOS.

So, no "Dear", no trying to come up with something socially acceptable, just plain "miki123211@hn.xx, please review our newest Terms and Services at https://....../...."

The "what should we call you" field sounds attractive, but would be ripe for abuse IMHO. Not on technical terms, but users would definitely play with it to have you send "Mrs DeepshitFuckHorse please confirm your email at...." to random addresses for instance, or any other vector that we're not thinking about right now.

I think this is the biggest irony of it: the kik package, which kik where so desperate to have, is basically sweet Fanny Adams.

Also, Kik turn out to be negligent and pretty scummy. There was some controversy with them involving crypto, but the main thing I remember about them is that Kik is rife in terms of trading pornography, including child pornography, as discussed on this Darknet Diaries episode: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/93/.

So, from that point of view, I quite enjoy that Azer Koçulu told them to fuck off.

I’ve always felt like cancer is one big war, but in reality, it’s more like countless small battles happening all at once. I have a friend who went through this — he had a very rare form of cancer and had to do multiple rounds of chemo, and each round felt like starting over again because what worked once didn’t always work again.

Now, seeing that cancers once thought to be nearly hopeless have five-year survival rates going up, it’s really impressive. I just hope we’ll keep seeing more good news like this in the future.

I've done this multiple times with great success, resulting in OpenSCAD projects that I feel comfortable maintaining, but would not have created without LLM assistance, and it has definitely been productive for me to start an OpenSCAD project this way, learn from the results, and refine things with ease.

Be sure to emphasise to the model that things should be well-commented, and be prepared to be amazed at the depth and breadth (pun not intended) of knowledge that can be obtained about the OpenSCAD ecosystem using this technique.

Like a storefront advertising "live your wildest dreams" in pink neon. A slightly obese Mediterranean man with questionable taste tries to get you into his fine establishment. And if you do enter the first thing that meets you is an interior with a little bit too many stains and a smell of cum.

That's the vibe I get whenever Sam goes on his bi-quarterly AGI hype spree.

Every knife can bypass stabproof vests with enough force, but that's beside the point. The knife is designed to bypass skin and flesh, hence the potential for abuse. You go down that path and you end up with the insane knife laws Western Europe has where just carrying a swiss army knife with you can be illegal. They do practically nothing for knife crime (as shown by knife crime statistics), but they sure create a lot of busywork for the police to show up on their performance reports.

By the way, you ever go to the gym? What do you need all those muscles for? Maybe to be able to stab through stabproof vests?

Artistically cool, but squirrel brain is nothing like this "psychedelic" experience.

Lack of motivation and focus is pretty easy to imagine for anybody, as it's a common sentiment; the only difference, medically, is whether it happens often enough to cause issues in your day-to-day life. You can easily replicate this yourself, neurodivergent or not, with bad sleep, junk sugary food, doomscrolling on TikTok/YouTube for the entire day and see whether you have the motivation or focus to do anything. Unmedicated ADHD feels a bit like having that most days.

Source: I am diagnosed ADHD. I don't take dexamfetamine any more because it's far too "synthetic" for my tastes and it feels like being a cart pulled around by a horse. For the past year I've been using nicotine patches and in my experience they work and feel better than any amfetamine treatment. I am also starting to believe the so-called "ADHD craze" is just a widespread epidemic of dopamine depletion caused by social media and modern technology in general.

What is called "planning" or "thinking" here doesn't seem conceptually much different to me than going from naive breath first search based Dijkstra shortest path search, to adding a heuristics that makes it search in a particular direction first and calling it A*. In both cases you're adding another layer to an existing algorithm in order to make it more effective. Doesn't make either AGI.

I'm really no expert in neural nets or LLMs, so my thinking here is not an expert opinion, but as a CS major reading that blog from Anthropic, I just cannot see how they provided any evidence for "thinking". To me it's pretty aggressive marketing to call this "thinking".

That event would go in the same bucket as the other ten million alerts where the system got confused between visually near identical models or some de-badged sports car.

The fact of the matter is that the powers that be can't overtly use the dragnet in the way that the "how dare someone skip a $2 toll" and "muh two ton death machine" crowds would like to see because the other 99.5% of the public will be all "hey WTF" and politicians will pass laws to pander to those people. The dragnet operating powers that be would rather retain the ability to use the dragnet unfettered even in bad ways so they normally reserve its use for "serious" things.

The others read this right: New OSs should be different than yet another C-based POSIX-style system. Linux compatibility is a secondary consideration and not so important.

It used to be that Linux ecosystem compatibility was an excuse for not innovating. WSL2 proved that so long as the base design allows for virtualization, one could still support Linux decently enough. So there are no longer any excuses when one can even get lots of compatible-enough software with very little impinging on base design.

"Du" and "du" are generally 100% equivalent. Regular casing-rules apply, e.g. in the beginning of a sentence it's "Du" but inside it's "du". "Kannst du mir helfen?". "Du kannst dir doch selbst helfen!"

Sometimes it's written "Du" even if in the middle of the sentence when addressing someone directly. It's technically incorrect, but it's used for emphasis and hence politeness, and that's probably where your feeling comes from.

The same can happen with other words that are getting capitalized for similar reasons, but when going strictly by the book it's grammatically incorrect. An example would be "das Große Ganze" where it should be "große" but it is capitalized to emphasize the connection/phrase.

Maybe a decade ago, I wanted to have some fun with a corporate structure.

One thing I wanted to do, was setup an AI as CEO and board member of a small company. Then, all pay for contracts I do would flow through that entity.

This was going to be simple algo AI, with pre-scripted decisions including "hire an expert for unknown issues" then "vote yes to expert's solution". The expert always being me, of course, under contract.

I'd take a much lower hourly rate for normal rech work, and instead keep capital in the business. The business would buy an old warehouse, have servers, and a guard.

I'd be hired as the guard too.

You can hire guards with the requirement they sleep on site. In such a case the lodging isn't income, as it is required for the job.

So I could take a very low hourly rate, and maybe options in shares.

And of course the car would be corporate leased, and all that.

This is perfectly legit setup in my tax jurisdiction, except for the AI part. Back then, I had two goals.

The first was a way to amusingly conceal where I live. It bugs me that I have to disclose this. The second was to keep as much of my earnings in a corporation, and the mortgage also gave the corporation an asset with increasing value.

But my name would not be on the registration for the company as a board member. Or CEO.

And in fact my relationship to the company would be under contract as a sole proprietor, so no need to file certain employee laden paperwork.

Upon retirement, I could cash out the company in a variety of ways, after exercising my options.

(The company would also be required to help with a bridge loan for this)

So maybe IBM is wrong?

(Just an amusing edge case)

Well, for one thing, all desktop environments from the 90ies started from a metaphor for the things on a physical desk, sheets of paper shuffled around, and so on; that was perfectly sensible for a target group of previously computer-illiterates that needed concepts to grasp onto.

We’re in a different world now, but user interfaces are still stuck in the past, the same way railways are designed to accommodate for Roman carriages.

By starting to design without those guardrails in mind, we could arrive at something that isn’t the local maximum of 30 years ago. At least that is my hope; who knows until we try!
