I call bullshit. Teenagers aren't complete in their development yet. That's why you can, and should, train and teach them.

Teaching empathy is of course difficult and don't forget that the bullied peers are also teenagers that might behave "weirdly" (no victim blaming intended). But the whole thing still needs to be taught as it is a horrible thing that exists in reality.

Compare this to drugs, STD, or plain old reckless behavior. You tell your teenagers not to take pills, use condoms, and not dive headfirst into unknown waters, right? Not everyone does this successfully, but there is no reason not to talk about it, just because your teenager will Roll their eyes. If that's any criterion, most parents would probably not talk to their kids at all between 12 and 20...

Mmmmm, I don't know.

Most of the bullying I remember from childhood was mostly of a boy already high in the social status, against one low in the ranks.

It's very similar, except that its heritage is clearly the world of MS/PC/DR-DOS style toolsets rather than Unix toolsets. It's a multiple-function binary, with freely licensed source code, that basically provides a whole bunch of otherwise standalone tools in one.

The difference is that the standalone tools have the sorts of semantics that will be very familiar to people who lived through the times of MS/PC/DR-DOS shareware, where there were (and still are) loads of tools in this vein, both standalone and all-in-one. Both minus and plus are command-line switch characters. There's no special GNU-style marker for "long" options to differentiate them from "short" options. Command names and functions follow conventions that were more common in the MS/PC/DR-DOS shareware world (e.g. DELTREE, HEXTOBIN, HEXDUMP, COLOR, FIND). And PC-isms like the idea that there are 16 CGA colours are baked in (c.f. this toolset's ECHO command).

If you've used the Norton Utilities, the Graham Utilities, JP Software's 4DOS/4OS2/4NT, my OS/2 (and earlier DOS) Command Line Utilities, or any of the many implementations of commands such as DELTREE that were available, this sort of thing is very familiar and comfortable territory.

Why are their no package delivery points in the US? Here in Sweden pretty much everything gets delivered to a pick up point instead of your home. Initially I thought it inconvenient, but considering that deliveries almost always come during business hours (i.e. I'm not at home) and the pickup points are within a 5min walking radius, I realised that this is in fact much more convenient. Large items you can still arrange home delivery.
Almost every yogurt is full of added sugar. Sometimes the ingredients pretend it isn't sugar by calling it "evaporated cane juice".

You can get actual healthy yogurt with plain Greek yogurt or skyr, though, it's not hard anymore.
Even better than that, we could have large shared vehicles, driven by a single professionally trained person, but able to service 50 or even 100 people at the same time.

We could do this today with current technology, without the drawbacks of trying to get autonomous driving working on roads designed for human drivers.

We could give it a name that signifies that it is for everyone, perhaps some kind of "omnibus" service, where a nominal fee is charged per trip, accessible to everyone.

I did a fair amount of reading about dreams in my youth and kept a dream journal for years.

In most cases, dreams are the subconscious speaking to itself in an idiolect (a dialect of a single person). While certain themes are somewhat common, exact meaning of a dream is rooted in your own personal experiences and what those images mean to you.

Dreams of being naked in public are fairly common. Being naked is generally seen as a symbol of feeling vulnerable and, also, potentially intensely embarrassed about something (because most people would definitely not be comfortable being naked in public).

Snakes are a common symbol of sin in the Western world, which may or may not be pertinent to what it means to you/your subconscious.

Edit: I will add that sometimes dreams are just gibberish, like if you are feverish. "You're drunk, go home" type nonsense.
That's an interesting thought, but I'd assume 20 year old 3D models wouldn't be much use today, would they?

I know they were thinking about making D2 a 3D game at first, like Runescape, but then went with 2D, because 3D technology wasn't at a point that allowed them to carry over the gritty and dark theme they wanted for Diablo. And then went on to make D3 look as cartoony as it does... They used photos of clay figurines for Diablo 1, would be fun if they remade that with 3D scanning techniques. Do check out David Brevik's post mortem on D1 from GDC by the way, it's fantastic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VscdPA6sUkc

What you are doing there is lumping concerned urban dissidents with the largely rural Naxal movement.

The Naxal movement may indeed have the characteristics that you mentioned, but you have a long way to go before establishing any links between them and dissidents who simply disagree with the current powers-that-be.
Your observations are correct. Its the latter.

"Reductions in the amount of REM sleep and increases in REM sleep onset latency are seen after taking antidepressants, both in healthy volunteers and in depressed patients. Antidepressants that increase serotonin function by blocking reuptake or by inhibiting metabolism have the greatest effect on REM sleep. The decrease in amount of REM sleep appears to be greatest early in treatment, and gradually diminishes during long-term treatment, except after monoamine oxidase inhibitors when REM sleep is often absent for many months."[1]

I agree that the two data points are paradoxical, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Personally I have a much larger than average amount of REM sleep (confirmed by professionals when I was tested for narcolepsy/daytime sleepiness), but I do not have vivid dreams and seldom recall dreaming at all, despite talking and moving in my sleep. Nevertheless it's quite interesting.

One hypothesis could be that less time in REM sleep leads to more intense bursts of REM, thus more vivid dreams? Or perhaps I am lacking knowledge and there is more to dreams than REM sleep.

"Mal." is likely Malayalam, a dravidic language from the indian subcontinent, not Malay (Austronesian language).

My Latin is quite rusty, its been a long time since i studied it. But from what i remember there were several flavors, which had slightly different grammar, orthography and vocabulary.

Wikipedia confirms this - there is at least classical Latin, church Latin, New Latin (16-19c), Contemporary Latin (19c onward). Hortus Malabaricus is written in New Latin.
FB Takes Down News Services in Australia, Unintended Consequences on Charities
Thank you for the link. The document could benefit from being a bit more polished and have less exclamations, but it contains some useful links and references at the end, such as this interview here, which I found it reflects what the bubble of cryptocurrencies is about: https://amycastor.com/2021/02/11/nouriel-roubini-tether-is-a...
Interesting! Actually, looking at the timeline[1] it looks like these were pretty isolated until 2011 and BOOM, in 2012 you get 13 countries legalizing it, in 2013 you get 35, in 2014 you get 42, the rest is history.

So I might still have a point?

Same thing if you think about the #metoo movement, all it took was a tweet for the world to start moving, whereas it took a woman to kill herself in France in 1944 for women to get the right to vote.

Earth is pretty special. We’ve got a big ol’ moon (seriously, the Moon is huge for a planet our size), Jupiter running interference for us with its massive gravity and incomprehensible magnetic field, our host star is very polite, we’ve even got a magnetic field AND ozone layer on the planet itself. Not to mention it’s kept life going for 30% of the age of the universe. It’s a good CV for Great Filter applications.

Not when it shatters the glass/ceramic platters and shards fall out (which is nearly every drive I've put a drill through for the last while).

Note: I do overwrite the drives (DBAN) then drill them and these are going to recycling anyway - it's quantifying the risk - I drill the drives because they usually have had customer or client data on them at some point so it's just good practice.

All the critical employees resign, until they are all eventually replaced yes-men who just care about the money or are too afraid to speak out.

And if a company is doing something unethical, then why is it inherently _bad_ to damage that company until it changes direction? Acting in unethical ways has to hurt the bottomline, otherwise what incentive is there for a company to change?

The first half of your comment and the second half contradict.

I forget the exact statistic, but did you know that something like 70% of those on the Forbes 400 Richest list are entirely self made? Did you know that the vast majority of millionaires in the US received $0 in inheritance, and far more received less than $10k? The rich, by and large, made their wealth in their lifetime with their own means.

I say this because we need to make better arguments and be more honest with the situation. No, we aren’t entitled to the money of the rich just because “they have too much” or something. Redistribution is desireable because the economics are fundamentally changing with winner take all economies, regulatory capture, the ability to influence government policy with wealth, and the massive increase in the general welfare achieveable with stronger redistribution.

Getting mad at rich people because they have bigger numbers in their bank account is a weak argument, disingenuous, and immoral. The truth is much simpler: redistribution results in a more successful society.
i heard there are some parents that make their kids say "thank you" or "please" to their voice assistants. that really bothers me for some reason. its like putting "please" at the end of a google search. its just plain illogical

I’m reasonably convinced that Facebook would like to remove all news from their platform.

I have no evidence to back this, however given that it causes them a huge amount of pain and (IMHO) newsfeeds are substantially better when there is no/heavily reduced political fighting between strangers, I can see only upside to this if it happens.
In addition to Pinboard, Reddit is a place I tend to store stuff I intend to read "later" (never).

Anyone know of a tool that could grab my Reddit saves and transfer them to Pinboard?
> Win10 has an IoT version (for some reason), so I assume _some_ people find a use case for it.

A lot of industrial equipment has embedded control computers running Windows CE. Prior to Windows CE, DOS and Windows 3.x were also popular choices. Go back 20-30 years ago, Linux was much newer and so you can understand why a lot of vendors felt more comfortable with Microsoft's solution. Now Linux is more mature and a more viable option, but many vendors are used to Microsoft-based development and are happy to stick with it.

Microsoft is phasing out Windows CE, but Windows IOT is the simplest migration path for those vendors. Porting software from CE to mainstream Windows is generally straightforward, since the CE APIs are largely a subset of the mainstream Windows APIs; a lot simpler than porting to a completely different platform like Linux.

(Windows 10 IOT comes in two versions – Core, which is a stripped down Windows 10 with various components removed; Enterprise, which is basically the same as Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, but with a different licensing model.)
That makes sense. Anyone not living close to the "asymptote" of universe generations can't prove that they're in a simulation, but they can't prove they aren't either. Maybe each of those universes keeps trying to simulate an infinite number of slightly varied universes in the hopes of simulating their progenitors, making an infinite amount of uncertainty and suffering in their attempts.
Nice story, each paragraph is pretty densely packed with layers of meaning and wisdom about our own existence and nature of reality.

Although this is pure fiction and speculation, thought experiments like these (existence of free will, laplace's demon), rely on determinism.

Even if we assume the universe to be completely deterministic, we need to "know" the initial seed state (usually called big bang).
That initial seed can and will create vastly different universes (similar to how changing a single pixel in Conway's Game of Life completely changes the emergent behaviour and properties of the patterns, often just destroys the apparent stability in the system).

So, even with the an all powerful quantum computer, the initial state will give vastly different universes (all of them consistent within but not with each other).

We can think about "what" the initial state is ? Is that initial state self contained ? or was it under effect of something else ? Will the computer "generate" the initial state, or the programmer (aka god) has to explicitly hard code it carefully to create an apparent stable universe ?

If time as we know it, started with the big bang, the no notion of something existing "before" the big bang, doesn't make sense. If time existed before the big bang, then big bang is not the actual initial state (it is an initial state for us, as we cannot know outside the big bang, i.e. the universe).

Therefore, all simulations considering that to be the initial state will be incomplete and incorrect. Maybe we simulate what we can observe with our senses (directly or indirectly), and that will give us a "valid" simulation. For us, that is a perfectly valid simulation, but for the "things" that were before the big bang (if you assume that time was present before big bang), our simulation will have an extremely low entropy.
Probably if attendance was not a requirement, the most disagreeable persons left the compound. This is a solution of course (which sounds less harsh than expulsion)
Yeah, I hope dang fixes this one, given it also breaks the rule on editorializing titles.
Yes, of course!

If google is acting unethically then I, as a user of google, want to know so I can hold them accountable.

Otherwise having an “ethics committee” is just feel-good marketing signaling at the same level of privacy terms stating how google, the ad behemoth, “cares about our privacy”.
Conciousness is an emergent property of a physical brain firing neurotransmitters between synapses, just as an economy is an emergent property of society buying and selling things, or ant colony behaviour is an emergent property of the behaviour of individual ants for example. It's not somehow "above" the simulation, just a higher order of complexity defined by lower-level rules, similar to a glider in Conway's Game of Life.
The plans from a week ago to show the new studio have presumably gone entirely out of the window.

Yea but in the US at least if OSHA, or way more likely our insurance when they doing their yearly inspection saw that they would freak out. That company looks like they are German, and from what I've heard Germany is way more strict about safety than the US.

So in order to sell that machine to me I would require a safety compliant door. My guess is a new door would be around $2800. That is an expensive hole.

What I know that you don't is that that machine is sold with a camera as an additional option. So there is already a place inside for mounting a camera. They would just need to make their own mount. Otherwise if I was just filming a demo to sell the machine I would override the door closed safety interlocks and film with the door open temporarily.
