Does this really mean much? I hate Facebook as much as anyone and would love to see them fail, but they have four times the daily active users of TikTok. Growth has no choice but to slow when you have less room to grow. Also if you lump Facebook and Facebook Messenger together, it's still more even just in downloads, and they didn't have to split into two apps.
It only takes a few bad-faith actors to infect, exploit and ruin a platform. Give it time. They will figure out how to ruin TikTok, too.

> Ethereum has had lots of these hacks, due to bugs in the smart contracts provided.

Code is law, bro. These aren't hacks or bugs. They are inert chunks of code that all play by. Even "bugs" in the execution engine are fair game when code is law...

The fine folks who carefully investigated the DAO smart contract and transferred lots of its value to their possession are just as entitled to that wealth as the people who possessed it in the first place. There was no hacking and no thievery. The smart contract was executing exactly as it was written. I argue the only people playing in bad faith were the makers of ethereum and the DAO, who rolled back the blockchain and stole the funds back into their hands.

Now this argument sounds silly, but I stand by it. Code is law is a horrible idea. But if you want to live in that world... all "bugs" are just as much of the "law" as the stuff that isn't a "bug".

The new way Jai does SoA is through just userland macros: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgoqZtu15kI

Tldr SoA isn't a single transformation. Depending on your data access pattern, you might want to shape the structure differently. Kinda like GPU. So first-classing a particular pattern of AoS->SoA conversion (the one we often see in tutorials) wouldn't have been enough. In this case, a little bit of tasteful usage of macros covers the variations well enough.
Going through a museum, and actively studying individual art deeply is a very different activity mentally, and much more stimulating, than scrolling through a feed passively 15 second clip after clip.

It does actually take a sort of literacy to understand and appreciate art. Go talk to anyone about art who has spent a lot of time studying it and then talk to someone who just walks through the museum to take instagram pictures and you get very different answers about what they see.

It costs about $0.56/mi to run a midsize car for an individual without a driver.

A legitimate, licensed, insured car in livery service probably costs more like $2/mi just to operate the car and pay the driver.

Think about how NYC Cabs are operated vs Uber. The cab is a fixed asset with operating expenses, and many cabs get rented 24/7 to maximize the return on asset. With Uber, the vehicle is a consumable and the business is to lease time from contractors who don’t understand accounting, and both the company and driver is losing money.

I don’t think the investors are getting ripped off. They own an international network that has value, and have more money than they know what to do with!

A bill was just introduced to improve Food Labeling in the US: https://cspinet.org/sites/default/files/attachment/FLMA%20Fa...
Indeed, there's a definition but this just adds the the starting comment's point that "ultra-processed" barely means anything in relation to how healthy something is to eat (and at what quantities).
That's unlikely to happen. Hence why Instagram created Reels to compete with TikTok.

Why is that relevant?
Nuts and cereals like shredded wheat aren’t ultra-processed. But check the labels, a lot of nuts and cereal have added sugar and even oil.

Cheerios seem surprisingly healthy (the first ingredient is whole grain oats and only 1g of added sugar). Even special K has 4g of added sugar per serving. I would consider sugar-coated cereal like raisin bran or special K with yogurt chunks ultra-processed.

Remember that Tolkien was a scholar in Medieval languages and also studied more modern folklore to some degree, and drew much material from those sources. Some elements in D&D might come from the same sources or from more recent writers who drew from the same myths. That is, similarities between D&D and Tolkien are not all due to Tolkien's influence.

While Tolkien is clearly an influence, there are many, many others too; to a degree AD&D seems to me to be a collection of all the myths Gygax knew or found. There is much in the Monster Manual that isn't in Tolkien (the medusa, demons and devils, etc.). Apparently some creatures in the Monster Manual came from a bag of plastic toys, which the authors used for inspiration and created backstories.
The "$9,000 to keep" figure is the cost to keep a disengaged worker on top of their salary. This is the 18% of lost productivity against a $50k average salary. (Which suggests $50k of value creation in a given year dropping to $41k.)

The article doesn't address pay as a way to increase engagement—and thus decrease attrition. Indirectly, the article suggests that increasing pay wouldn't actually have that much effect, with the real benefit coming from managers "who give workers a sense of purpose, inspiration and motivation to perform".

Mathematically, you would need every 2% of average "retention" raise to yield a 1% drop in retention rate to break even, notwithstanding that 18% productivity drop.

Put another way, it's not about employees being commodities. It's about (generally) pay-for-retention programs NOT ONLY failing, but in the worst case negatively affecting those people who are engaged by forcing them to continue to interact with disengaged people who decided to stick around a little longer.
A sunshade is almost feasible using current technology, though it would have some negative impacts.

Uber is already dramatically more expensive in NYC. It's to the point where, most of the time, it is smarter/faster/better to take a taxi, if you're paying attention. Most people still look at Uber first (if only because of muscle memory), but multiple times in the last few months I've watched someone do it and recoil from the sticker shock. Just this weekend, someone I knew was quoted $130 to get from Cobble Hill to the UES. Even if you're almost completely price-insensitive, that's a trip that can be made in 45 minutes (~about the same as driving) for $3 in subway fare.

I don't know what's going on with Uber in the rest of the world, but here, there can't possibly be any more margin to consume.

“ You may wonder why such flammable and hazardous material is stored in a place where weather conditions exceed 50 degrees Celsius”

I mean here in the real world that argument falls flat. Our legal system isn't code. It is warm fuzzy meatspace with concepts like "intent" and stuff.

But that isn't what The DAO was advertising. It was "code is law", which was supposed to remove the element of messy human judgement from things.

Of course, it was a spectacular failure because nobody actually really wants "code is law"... instead all they did was re-invent mob rule and those with the loudest voices decided what to do about the "theft".

> it's obviously popular stuff on the platform and it just doesn't seem like very positive content for me.

This is true of everything. If I look at the front page of YouTube in a private browser window, it's all bullshit too, obviously. But there's plenty of quality stuff on YouTube that I do like, ya know?

The point is that the well is deep and broad enough that there is probably a whole community of people making content you'd like, and TikTok is extraordinarily good at finding that stuff for you sooner rather than later. I watch tons of diorama-building tutorials and recipe videos, for example. And I'm better both at painting and cooking as a result.

Look: I'm not a shill, here. I'm not trying to convince you to get into TikTok (I mean? who cares, honestly) but I find a lot of talk about it tends to boil down to "kids these days" dismissiveness.

And yeah I don't post anything there - nobody wants to see my grizzled old-ass face.

My interpretation there is that you can start video playback within a click handler or one of its callees, but there's no check on where the video element is. The latter check would be impossible to implement because <video> elements can't have child elements (eg. for playback buttons) so adding that restriction would break custom playback buttons.

> Especially places like Twitter and Instagram are outrage and depression inducers for me, consumed together it feels like the society is collapsing

It's been interesting to watch the steady decline of Reddit and Twitter since they launched. They've always had a significant amount of doom-and-gloom clickbait headlines, but in the past it was far easier to filter out the bad and follow subreddits or Twitter people with high signal to noise ratios.

Now, Reddit feels like a lost cause for anything other than consuming endless outrage headlines. r/popular is full of blatant misinformation that could be disproved with a simple Google search or outrage-bait headlines that make every event sound like the end of the world. Even the previously useful subreddits I subscribed to have been inundated with angry, angry people who manage to turn everything into an argument or relate it back to politics somehow.

I have to wonder if TikTok is simply enjoying the early days where the fun, light-hearted content still outweighs the intentionally rage-baity content. There does appear to be vast amounts of misinformation and angry content on TikTok, but it hasn't yet flooded the platform to a degree that it's unavoidable.

I feel like we watched a similar rise and fall of Clubhouse during the pandemic. The early days were full of people with genuine curiosity and good intentions about socializing, but it quickly devolved into lowest common denominator content. I haven't opened Clubhouse for months, but the last time I opened it I remember scrolling through endless "how to get rich" rooms that were keyword stuffing popular terms until I just gave up on the platform altogether.

Maybe TikTok's algorithm and model can stave off the Eternal September problem, but I feel like it's only a matter of time until the signal to noise ratio drops below most people's thresholds for decent content.
As others noted, I'm not sure there's a profit motive to blame here, but yeah it feels like browsers are constantly playing catch-up, indicated by ever-stronger words for the features, rather than switch to a better-engineered, more robust model -- reminds me of PHP's treadmill of "no-really-totes-secure-this-time-sql-call".
Ha! Bitter.
That must be a different window - the file browser. The open file dialog doesn't have close buttons, so you're not looking at that. I believe the main discussion here is about the open file dialog, the "file picker".

That is a real threat, but that's a problem with (proprietary, centralized) online media in general. Which social network would you trust not to do that? Facebooks experiment on manipulating emotions comes to mind [1].

The only way to minimize these effects is to consume a multitude of media from multiple sources, so no one entity has too much influence. Balancing all the US-based social networks with some TikTok certainly seems healthy in that regard.

If codex is able to handle a generic api from reading the doc, it maybe could use a python library for solidity contracts like https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contracts.html

As a contract user, I'd probably have more trust in a contract written by an independent AI from a short natural language specification which can't hide intent, than a contract with hidden backdoor, or a subtle bug.

Also the AI will probably improve with usage.

You probably can generate multiple version of your contract, and maybe a high level bug correction scheme like taking the median action between those version can increase bug robustness and find those edge cases when action differ.
Mammals are close to us in the dimensions of reproduction and biological ancestry; also, there are countless mammals which are (way) less intelligent than corvids.

Look into Vito Iacopelli's recipes on Youtube. The dough consists of flour, water, salt, and some yeast and honey. The sauce consists of canned tomatoes, salt, oil, and basil. That's about four ingredients. The only real hurdle is having an oven that can go hot enough (900+ deg F). My family got an Ooni pizza oven and started making pizzas every other weekend during lockdown. It's pretty great! Works well for tandoori parathas too.

I see two nutritional concerns with "clean pizza". How healthy is finely-milled flour? More importantly, how many vegetables/protein sources can I put on pizza or have alongside pizza? There's no way to get around the opportunity cost of not having more proteins and fibrous vegetables in your diet.

If you look at social medias evolution the "Feed" concept was first a cronological list of friends' posts then evolved to mix of ads and random friends post to allow for more engagement + monetization. TikTok just got rid of the concept at all, the feed gauge what you want to see by how you interact with the content. I think this was their biggest differential.

It's the difference between showing me just stuff that I really like doesn't matter from whom and showing me some ads while holding the content of my friends hostage.
