Metaprogramming. Nice.
And do what? These destinations sometimes need to compete for entertainment value hour-for-hour with video games. Additionally, there is an accessibility factor involved in traveling to and from destinations. It requires some serious self-discipline.

As a parent it takes more energy, inventiveness, and patience to entertain our children (or on that note, even another adult) than it does for ourselves.

These alternatives to screen time don't come easy.
this wouldnt be a first, people have done that before with Utah arrays, including with human patients.
People do like paper textbooks a lot. But the used textbook market is as efficient as ever and publishers want more revenue. They don't make any money when you buy a used textbook and it's expensive to scramble the chapters and end of chapter questions and reprint every other season. Plus, you have to pay all the sales people to convince the clueless professors that they should upgrade to the new edition each year.

Perfect example of rent seeking.
Already available in the form of the Tobii 4C for approximately 150 USD. Only accurate for most people to about a circle with diameter of about an inch on the screen though, and it feels strange to use it for an FPS.
For me too. Something like auto-completion for the brain. Not in the "let me complete this command/file name for you" But in the "let me write immediately and correctly the 20 lines of code for the exact procedure you think you need and you just thought in a second". I know it sounds like it is impossible now, but who knows? Maybe it will start with some macros for the brain.
This, but also I suspect a lot of people that claim to dislike Java are tainted by it's framework heavy ecosystem especially early-mid 2000s.

The language itself is fairly clean and very pragmatic.
More like $200 for an online copy vs $50 or less in the common occurrence that used print textbooks are available. Or even older editions for $10 or less.
Iain Banks would be pleased, were he still alive. To the uninitiated: Musk is quite obviously a fan of The Culture sci-fi series by Iain Banks. This right here device is called "neural lace" in the series. The series is quite possibly the finest example of the genre that I've ever read, and it's way ahead of its time.
I've never thought that screen time had any major detrimental effect on kids. I was spending most of my days in front of a Commodore 64 back in the 80s before it was cool. And most of it was "social media" in the form of single and later multi-user BBS systems, and MUDs once I found the Internet around 1987.

I think a much larger problem is that kids aren't given free rein anymore. Part of growing up needs to be time away from adults, getting into challenging social and physical situations, and learning to fend for oneself. That seems to happen far less.

I'm not just talking about overbearing helicopter parents (which is a whole other pathology that has grown, but always existed for some unlucky subset of peers). I'm talking about being out in the world and not having your parents as concierges.

When I was ten years old, if I wanted to see my friends across town, I had to walk there or ride my bike. If I wanted something to eat, I had to pack a sandwich and bring it. If I wanted a new toy and it wasn't my birthday or Christmas, I had to mow the neighbor's lawn.

What I see today are parents who drive their kids to every social event and give them money for whatever they want. Not an allowance for doing chores, just a stream of cash on-demand. They all have cell phones, and call their parents for a ride whenever they want to be somewhere else. When I was a kid, if the parents were at work and we got hungry, we made a sandwich or waited for them to get home and cook dinner. Now they call them at work and whine and some parent orders a pizza.

The biggest problem I see with cell phones is that a solution to any trivial inconvenience is a text message away. If I'd called Mom at work back in the day, I'd better have had a broken leg.
A very easy, low friction way to correct this behavior is to steer the conversation to someone who has been interrupted.

Let the interrupter do his thing, then go "Alright John Doe, you were saying X Y Z?" He'll start his train of thought again, and if someone tries to interrupt, cut them off and say "Hold on let John Doe finish answering my question". You come out looking professional to interrupters, the interrupted likes you more, _and_ you start to change the behavior that annoys you, without you being the bad guy. win-win-win

The Underappreciated Power of the Apollo Computer
The reason that this is absurd is that there's this popular notion that 5G is fundamentally new technology. The reality is that it is literally just radio. You know, like "the wireless" from 1905, which is the same fundamental thing as 4G, 3G, 2G, LTE, Analog, WiFi, radar, satellite, and a bazillion other things that have repeatedly and conclusively been shown to not cause harm at typical power levels. Sure, a kilowatt microwave emitter will literally cook you, but yeah... so will a gas fire! Don't put your hand in the fire you idiot and you'll be fine. Get a grip.

Meanwhile there's people frothing at the mouth and endlessly repeating "We just don't know! It could be dangerous!" is equally daft. A little-known German scientist called Einstein won a Nobel prize back in 1921 for showing that wavelengths longer than a certain cut-off (typically in the UV light range) simply do not cause ionisation, irrespective of power levels. Radio simply cannot give you cancer. It's been proven. We understand the physics. It's been tested to death.

Stop. Saying. We. Don't. know. It's YOU that doesn't know, because you're apparently blithely unaware of the last century of human progress. Catch up to the rest of us.

Meanwhile the real risk of cell phones is idiots texting and driving. That KILLS and MAIMS people. I bet 90% of the people arguing against 5G technology have done that at least a few times...

I've always thought riding a motorcycle is sometimes hard to do because holding onto the bike is at odds with working the controls because both use your hands and feet.

That sounds like a mild inconvenience, but certainly not harmful. Staying active (even if that means just walking around, especially at the age of 80) is important.
This is a fair point. There are always adult clubs folks can head to after hours. This who want just tech get just tech, those who want to objectify get to do so with willing participants in a welcoming setting.

That surprises me. I have to manipulate slices all the time! Popping an item from a slice, reversing one, or clearing one without allocation in a hotspot is super common for me.

The problem, at least what I remember, was that each state had a different voting style. Some had punches, some had squares you filled in by hand. The chance to make mistakes and the like was there (crossing out a square or double punching) and some voting booths/voting locations only allow straight votes (all x or y party only). Voting machines were designed to make those mistakes/situations less likely.
The problem with this study and similar ones is that "use of social media" is measured as a homogeneous activity when in reality the various social media services have complex and important functional distinctions and usage patterns that have a meaningful impact on emotional investment. Spending many hours conversing in a private group chat on Facebook is completely different from lurking photos of attractive people on Instagram or taking photos of every meal for Snapchat or retweeting every celebrity you follow on Twitter.

There are other factors to consider as well such as the prominence of and usage patterns of social media within the wider social heiarchy of the peer group. If the in-person social network doesn't have much online cohesion then it stands to reason that use of social media should have a smaller psychological impact compared to peer groups where social media participation is a significant part of socialization.

What do you do with all the time you save interrupting the slow thinkers?
This is a fair point, but just as everyone is not in tech not everyone has time to read academic studies about the affects of screen use on children. A click-bait article from Gizmodo is a terrible heuristic, sure, but is observing the behavior of people who do work in tech, who have kids, and then calibrating your view of the problem really that bad of one?
Your point 1 especially speaks to me. Phone-based messaging in general isn't appropriate for the things I would most like to be kept private between me and a recipient, because those sorts of things can't be created on a phone. I've found PGP pretty good for making that happen, when I'm working with someone who a) uses PGP also and b) exercises some caution when using it. I haven't found an option that I can trust that will work for me.

So were man-eating tigers and poison ivy. You can't just make a list of things you don't like and say that that disproved my argument about a moral panic. I cited 3 specific things that parents panicked about primarily because their children were growing up differently than they had. Smoking has decreased over time - it's not unique to some particular generation of children. Fast Food really is something that parents feed to their children, not really a difference in what it means to grow up. And I don't know what to say about sugar - it still exists? I guess thats bad?
No, but the language certainly is.

Imagine a computer interface capable of actualising the conceptual structures that you are imagining.

Imagine that this interface had a feedback mechanism simulating a virtual eye allowing you to perceive a full three dimensional rendering of that concept in real time.

Now think of an arraylist, think of how it responds to changes, visualise the corner cases.

You just wrote the code.

He is great, but how to put it politely? His enthusiasm for technology and future possibilities blinds him to the reality that many things take longer than what we would wish , and that science requires lot of sluggish, dull work in order to advance.
People who are struggling typically don't have $1K to drop on a phone, or $30/mo to spend on the data plan. If you believe the news, most people in this country can't scrounge up $400 in case of an emergency, let alone to buy the most expensive phone available. I used to struggle myself when I was a student (not in the US), and it not even in my wildest dreams would I think of spending my food money on overpriced electronics.
I'm a parent too, I make time so that my child has stimulating activities even if its not my fave.
Frankly I have a great time watching my child learn and explore.

My kid isn't that old, but I got them a robot that they can "program" from their iPad, its solid learning and exploration time.

I think we need to differentiate between "zero value screen time" and "learning screen time" before we make any real judgements about it.
So they are admiting defeat :^)

This will not stop the subtle cheaters though, in a game like Apex you could even drop the aimbot and only use the information advantage of a wallhack. Good times to sell cheats
Seems identical to Java:

try {
var val1 = happy_path1(val0);
var val2 = happy_path2(val0, val1);
var val3 = happy_path3(some_val);
function_might_crash_let_it_crash!(some_val);
return happy_result();
} catch (NotFoundError e) {
handle_notfound_error();
} catch (PermissionError e) {
report_permission_error();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("don't worry this process is supervised, let it crash!");
}
I don't think this has much to do with the level of interest in STEM.

I would rather be any of those other 4 things than an astronaut. At the same time, I would rather be an aerospace engineer, a molecular biologist, or just about any type of physicist than any of those alternatives.
I could have easily included myself in my above list of anecdotes. But more importantly, look at all the "harmful" things I listed. My mom interacts with her friends. An old lady slows down a group of people. A kid gets in trouble with his parents. Middle schoolers are socially inept.

None of those things are really that harmful, they are mostly expected and regular parts of life.
Those essays were written a long time ago and reflected the situation at the time. I can't really say how accurate they were, but you're using the present tense and mentioning present technology, so I thought it would be worth to emphasize that.
Ah yes the good 'ol "bloated crap" argument developers love to fall back on when they don't know what they're talking about.

What exactly is "bloated crap" about maven? It works exactly as advertised and a heck of a lot better than go modules/vgo.

If you say XML you lose (it is a config fmt get over yourself...). If you say it downloads the world I suggest you look at the output scroll by on any decent sized project in Go land.

Getting rid of it also stops signaling that it's a place where women are objects, but men are not. The rate at which female attendees are treated like booth babes (i.e. "sex sells" people who know nothing of the field) at these events implies this is indeed a problem. By literally fucking over those 10 people, we might help stop fucking over a different field of work that is currently being fucked over.

It's not a clear-cut win/loss either way on the whole, sure. But there's no way you can argue that it's not a sexist practice as it exists right now. What you do with that info is always a tradeoff, and I suspect we're on different sides.
Nope, the Verge article said that it will a WiFi connection.
I understand what you're getting at, but in this particular case, Zoom is capable of joining a call in-browser (like Google Hangouts) which doesn't require the server that was affected by the silent update. So you'd still be able to join that call, just not using the native app. Perhaps that was part of their risk analysis when they decided to ship the update.
It is all fun and games until someone at your job introduces Go into your ecosystem unfortunately then you're sort of stuck.
You'd have to ignore the substantial progress Tesla has made to date against overwhelming odds. Will return to this in 30 years!
I'm regularly sent two containing boxes. One contains 20-lbs of plastic-sacked loose material. The other holds 2-dozen food cans (~10 lbs) set in a plastic-wrapped half-box. Both containing boxes are thin cardboard.

Their only purpose seems to be for transport-packing and carrying to my door. That's a lot of waste for a trip across town.
> The America diet

This is super vague.

> while I don't believe that video games are "rotting our brains", kids have become much more physically sedentary over the past 50 years with lots of measured negative consequences

But where is the evidence that video games are a decline in physical health? I could just as easily blame couch cushions that are too comfy. But that doesn't mean that we should make children sit on the floor.

> Smoking

This isn't a moral panic, at least not as it relates to any particular generation of children. Each generation has smoked less, not more.
Igniter delay and variance can be reduced by increasing the current pushed through them.

The power delivery setup for this launch was probably the most interesting bit. Estes igniters are typically rated to require 2A. Supplying that times 5000 is no simple task. The video seems to show five large boxes (~1m on a side), each surrounded by a cluster of rockets. These boxes probably each concealed a pile of batteries and relays.
All the comments on here seem to be praising Tesla for paying a bug bounty, but I'm just sitting here horrified at how much information a phone support guy is able to view remotely about owners cars, not to mention the ability to send OTA updates.

No way am I buying a connected car.
It is. But these days, when the word "empathy" shows up in discussions, it's usually in the context of understanding someone's difficult position and why they may feel some resentment or jealousy towards you. Here, it's the opposite - it's the empathy needed to not randomly take offense when people say things to you.
I am not a fan of news sites delving into philosophical discussions on parenting. The topics are too complex to cover in short pieces and the outcome is to arm people on either side with weak material to support whatever position they have.

We all know someone who either was or has a kid that was negatively impacted by over consumption of XYZ. One observable instance of this happening meets the threshold of evidence. The underlying question here isn’t a search for evidence but validation of a prevailing societal “truth” or norm.

As it pertains to kids and screen times, many thousands of parents are agitated by this problem (and have been with it’s equivalent for millennia) which to me indicates a high likelihood that there is some human collective view or conscience, that evolves with the times, on factors that positively contribute to ones character and that in this instance, many (thousands upon thousands) parents believe elevated levels of screen time do not do not positively contribute to character relative to say drawing, creative play, chopping down a tree to build a bow an arrow, etc.

If you asked my brother and sister who have 3 kids if making them do chores around the house positively contributes to their character, they would respond “undoubtedly”. I’ve never in my life met a parent who disagreed. But I haven’t met all parents and my circles are different than others. I have their views and my life experience but does any of this meet the articles standard of evidence? In a way, I think it does.

The question of how best to raise children will live on for ages and I don’t anticipate the guardian has the patience or will to explore it. Which makes it feel like click bait to me (toss out quick piece on topics people are polarized on, get clicks, move on).

Some questions I would ask of myself to understand this better:

0) what are solving for? Emotional balance, income, job stability, health?

1) what compromises “hurt” and how do we know it (is it short term vs long term, how do we measure it)

2) what are the thresholds that determine a person has crossed into the state / process of “hurt” (how do we know it when we see it)

3) what threshold of children need to enter this state of hurt before we qualify it as a problem due to the genuine causal link between elevated levels of screen time and this state of “hurt” (10% 50%?)

4) as a parent, how do I know I’m right about any of this?

5) even if I believed the evidence I have is valid and the causal link overwhelming, do I have the right to impose my values on other parents who disagree?

Who knows...

Ok. so "sewing machine" is a robot to place sensors without hitting blood vessels. These sensors have some wires that are attached to an induction loop of some kind for recording. Seems feasible. Density is variable and probably dependent on brain region (speculative). I imagine the next step is deep learning to classify neural/sensor patterns into specific actions.
I agree completely. Planned communities (top down?) have failed repeatedly (for a variety of reasons). The kind of planning and design I am talking about is the design of local rules (bottom up?), such as the order in which you put cars, parked cars, bycicles (and friends), and peds. Another example would be about the zoning around university campuses and how they interact, or don't with public transportation. The difference between US vs EU for these two cases and the results of the differences is quite revealing.
