I'm not sure how drastic these limits really are. The display is tiny, the graphical memory small (32K), and code is limited to 8192 Lua tokens.

On the other hand, I haven't seen any computational model. It seems the "machine language" actually is Lua, and processing power is not limited by the specs, but by the host computer. Thus, there are quite a few ways we could trade speed for size.

My dream of a fantasy console is one that we could actually instantiate in actual hardware, should we want to. Ideally a cheap FPGA for which we have a Free toolchain, like the iCE40.
You're right. But it is not a particular trait of modern art. It was the same centuries ago as well.

I think it’s simply that people are poor at understanding that Option A being slightly better than Option B does not mean that Option B is bad. I think this deficiency in reasoning is what drives a lot of irrational behavior wrt to parenting (eg, making incredible sacrifices to afford a home in a neighborhood with “good schools”, going through hell so your newborn doesn’t sleep on its tummy, etc).
For a frame of reference, I also started doing DuoLingo daily about 12 months ago and am still at ~A1 proficiency, as far as speaking or writing.

I think it's far easier. College debt, from the perspective of many, is a necessity, but a greater one than a car.

Think of the way many pundits describe the White working class. It's not just with regret, but with outright disdain: these people are repulsive.

Someone with a car could be characterized as low status or poor, but few would argue he or she is somehow subhuman.

Against this backdrop, "free college" seems like a no-brainer: you need a car for the utilitarian purposes of moving around, but without a college education your life simply lacks value. It isn't that you might die if you don't have an education, but that you're not alive unless you have one.

I get the appeal from a "it's fascinating we can make computers do this" stance.

I don't get the appeal as trying to appreciate this as actual art (or music in the case of ai-generated tunes).

Art for me is about the connection I can make with the person who made it. I can't make a connection with an algorithm. I view it and I am like "OK this is interesting" but that's about it. There's no desire to try and understand it because it was programmatically generated.

Does anyone else feel this way?

That’s how business works. You aren’t entitled to your customers. Either they come to you, or they go to someone else. Ultimately, it’s their choice.

You say it’s parasitic, but really all it is is customers making a different choice. The whole concept of the status quo is an abstraction. A customer that bought from you yesterday is not “your customer”. She may make a different choice tomorrow.

No I am talking about the media itself being overstimulating in a way irrelevant to what the medium is capable of teaching or what the media is intended to teach.

For a 2-year-old, playing with a toy with a bunch of buttons that blink lights and make sounds is a lot less developmentally appropriate than playing with blocks or plastic gears.

For a 4-year-old, watching action cartoons (or modern “PBS Kids” shows for that matter) is a lot less developmentally appropriate than watching Mr. Rogers episodes from 30 years ago.

For a 7-year-old, spending time on a computer playing an unchallenging but flashy game is a lot less developmentally appropriate than figuring out how to make a Logo turtle draw a picture.

Etc.

This isn’t to say that children should never ever play with flashy things, but access should be moderated by parents so they don’t crowd out other activities, because they can be highly addictive.

One of the problems with screens is that the more hyperstimulating e.g. a game or show is, the more likely someone is to pick it vs. alternatives, which means that the medium in general tends towards distraction over meaningful content.

This is not as big a problem with physical books. Even e.g. popup books and comic books are nowhere near the level of stimulation of a TV or smartphone. Same goes for non-electrified physical toys

I disagree on the gym/fitness angle. It's quite possible you had a terrible gym teacher, and it wasn't a good fit for you.

My wife and I coslept (and often still cosleep) with both of our children. They both sleep through the night without issue.

Our oldest goes to sleep early and will insist on going to sleep when she feels tired and will wake up with me in the morning. Our youngest fights sleep until exhaustion and prefers to sleep in (until 9-10am if allowed). They have been raised exactly the same way.

We take way too much credit for our children's sleep habits.

> the original 737s were grandfathered in before the new regulation came into effect

Yes, I know that. Presumably the same would apply to other aircraft models certified before 2009 (when the new wiring regulation was issued) that might have the same problem (as I posted elsewhere in this discussion, it's quite possible that other aircraft types certified before 2009 have the same problem--we don't know because nobody has looked).

However, if we're willing to not do anything to all those planes, even though we now know they have a potential issue, then we can't just insist on doing something to 737 MAX planes either, since the cost-benefit calculation in both cases is the same: we have a bunch of planes already in service, we now know there's an issue with them, do we fix it or not?

> regulatory agencies need to set a firm precedent to deter other manufacturers from playing fast and loose with the rules

For any 737 MAX aircraft that have not yet flown, I would agree with you. However, tearing apart aircraft that have already been flown to fix this issue might cause more problems than it solves. The teardown would be extensive and any repair that extensive risks introducing some other issue that didn't exist before and which could cause problems in the future. That makes it a different cost-benefit calculation.

I certainly agree that Boeing should not be the ones making that calculation. It would be nice if the FAA didn't either, but had some other agency such as the NTSB do the root cause analysis to estimate the relative risk of doing the repair on already flown planes vs. not doing it.
Maybe it is, in New Zealand!
What about 17% of 50? 17*5 isn’t so simple anymore, whereas 50% of 17 is 8.5.

To be fair, with most shortcuts, it’s possible to construct difficult cases (17% of 23 is difficult in either order) but where it applies (when one of the pairs is a common percentage), exploiting commutativity can be quite useful. Plus the mental overhead of remembering the rule is extremely minimal.

If you're not really worried about automatic updates, just e-mail them the app package, they can enable side-loading and install it.

Yeah, I forgot about that; they aren't 754. I'd be curious to see what a modern JIT taking some cues from dynamic language VMs that have multiple internal primitive formats hidden from the guest code like V8 could do with that. It'll never be 1 to 1, but I could see it getting pretty damn close.
It seems like in developing nations were getting into the realm of diminishing returns around health risks (obviously not everything, but a lot of things).

Go back 50 years and the things like nutrition, vaccination, etc had huge benefit in risk reduction.

Now that we’ve tackled those, we go after the next set. Now it’s breast feeding, screen time, etc. we put a similar focus on those but the returns are much smaller and sometimes questionable.

Is breast feeding better? Sure. Is your child going not going to reach their full potential if you use formula? No. Not worth getting stressed over.

This is a classic strawman. Which researcher or medical professional is just saying "formula is bad"? It's obviously more nuanced than that, and letting your child go hungry because you can't breastfeed is obviously not the conclusion to draw. If you have the choice between the two, some researchers would encourage you to choose breast milk. They're not saying you're evil if you're unable to breastfeed.

Will your child be worse off if they're fed with formula instead of breastmilk? There's some evidence showing that this is the case. If you're unable to breastfeed and feel guilt because you have this knowledge, that's not a valid reason to tell these researchers to silence themselves.

> Yeah, speaking french is hard. You speek with the front of your mouth whereas english is more about the back of your mouth.

Can you provide some examples of French words that are formed in the front of the mouth that you find difficult to pronounce? English is my native language and I don't speak French, but some of my coworkers do and they occasionally teach me words and phrases. I find it to be the opposite of what you've described in that the most difficult words for me are formed at the back of the tongue/mouth, particularly words containing "r" like "quarante-trois" (the number 43). I remember that word because I was out to lunch with one of my French speaking coworkers and I asked him how to pronounce my order number in French. We both had a good laugh as I struggled to say it without sounding like I was choking.

However, I studied Spanish from middle school through college, and I've noticed that English speakers tend to have difficulty with rolling their r's, which is done in the front of the mouth. Are there French words that have this type of pronunciation too? If so, I understand what you mean about the front of the mouth.
