I find this a bit disingenuous. TikTok videos have by far the highest reach of all social media due to their format and the way the for you page works. Moreover it rewards influencers from interacting with each other’s posts which often leads to top comments on TikTok (and Reels too although it’s much smaller as a platform) largely being an echo chamber.

1 post on Facebook might reach 100s, 1000s of people. Rarely a page with large enough following may hit 100,000s of people.

1 post on TikTok from a moderate influencer can hit millions.

That’s not to say other social media forms haven’t had bad trends in the past, but TikTok has had far more and in a far shorter amount of time. People just don’t interact with other social content the way they buy into TikTok, which is dangerous and leads to far more misinformation — it was maybe not even 3 weeks ago I had a bunch of my friends sending me a bunch of popular TikTok videos and asking about how AI Transformers were here and taking over the world (they are, but transformers in AI have nothing in common with the movies).
Why don't we have public peer reviews? Post the paper publicly and anyone can comment about the validity of the paper. Then if it gets accepted it gets the stamp of approval of the "journal" to publish it.

Why don't we do this already? Probably because the "journals" still calls themselves publishers, so posting the paper before it is accepted would be seen as publishing, and they want to "publish" it first. But scientific journals are no longer valuable as publishers, just for their stamp of approval, the idea that they need to be publishers is holding science back.
Yeah, the level of idiocy here is almost as high as in the "reporter may be prosecuted for using 'view source'" article.
It also generalizes beyond social networks. Another way of viewing this is simply medical student syndrome[1] transplanted onto the substrate of social media. Learning about a new thing biases people in a way that they over identify that thing.

As a parent, I've experienced this in the last year. It was pretty easy to identify and correct for. Teens try out novel behaviors regularly. It's a good strategy for figuring out identity and maturing, but it does have these weird edge-cases that being on the lookout for and gently applying reality maintenance mechanisms corrects for.

All I can say is that when you’re on the other end of a call with someone using the laptop array, vs a headset, the quality of sound from the laptop array is objectively much worse than the headset. You hear room noise, echo, etc. It’s definitely not as bad as older laptop mics that didn’t have noise cancellation, etc. but it’s still worse than a headset.
It has been nearly 2 years. Have they considered training a few people to handle respiratory diseases and bulking up the hospitals?

Nursing is hard and takes years of training, but 2 years would have been long enough to teach people how to manage the average case of 1 disease.

There have been a lot of people sitting around doing not much, they could probably use the work.
First one just turned two. I waited until I was 40 to have a child for this reason. I wasn't ready. I didn't trust my relationships with my demons. I didn't want to burden her with my shit. Still got a whole lotta unbecoming to do, but having her around definitely keeps that flame lit under my ass. There's a wonderful buddhist mindset of looking at difficulties or challenging situations and labeling them as "this is my guru" and that's what I've done with her. She's holding up a very untarnished mirror to my behavior and lifestyle 24/7.

Edit: It's worth noting that my perfectionism turned on fatherhood means I'm a motherfucker of a dad. The key is to use that energy wisely, don't let it get out of control like it did with me. That's a really special gift we both have. Just learn to dance with it.

All of the payment system processes are structured around banks rather than individuals .

It's funny (odd) to see the shift in thinking in youth from, the media is the enemy and they want to feed us how to think from before the internet (think punk bands) and now where people can't live without media they fully know is automanipulated and is actively manipulating them. Sid Vicious must be rolling in his grave.

It's fascinating!
I mean I would also like to live in a world where everyone gave it their 100% for the betterment of all humanity. The reality though is that if we set those incentives naively, nearly all past examples have led to way less output then using monetary (capitalistic) incentives.

what's the best way for the world to be more selfless and productive without that being a pipe dream?
It might not be unique to TikTok, it might happen on other social networks, but TikTok shouldn't continue to get a pass even as they become the worst purveyor of dangerous viral nonsense. There was the "steal stuff from school" thing and the wave of schools closing because of TikTok-inspired threats and the "corpse bride" eating-disorder thing and probably more I've missed. Now this. People don't hesitate to dump all over Facebook and Twitter. Nobody stands up and says "this has nothing to do with Facebook, it happens on all social media" around here unless they want to get their head ripped off. Bringing out that defense only for TikTok seems like something only a dedicated fan/addict (or worse) would do.
I mean, sort of, yes, but that's an extremely broad bucket you've built. Lots of things are to do with identity: nationality, political party, etc. 'HN reader' is a fairly strong identity!

The difference comes in the utility of that identity. If somebody is latching onto something which drives them to believe that getting one particular type of medication is the one and only way to fix their life, despite not really fitting the diagnostic criteria for the associated condition, I'd say that's a problem. Getting a new label (like asexual) which lets you make sense of your life and probably doesn't change your existing behaviour at all, let alone make you want treatment, I'd say is beneficial.
I found this trend on tiktok randomly and I have to say it's deeply deeply concerning, the darkest side of social media I've ever seen.

While social trends and fads have existed/influenced before but I think people might be underestimating how addictive and pervasive tiktok is, especially to young impressionable minds.

There is already an epidemic of anxiety among younger millennials and gen z, I shudder to think what kind of end effects these depersonalization/loss of identity memes can have over the long term.
> Most routers do not filter IPv6 by default.

This isn't my experience. If you are correct however, that is a failure of the ISP/CPE provider, not a flaw of IPv6.

> mainly because IPv6's design assumes a per-device firewall

I don't see a single mention of firewalls in the RFC[1]. But then neither did the ipv4 spec. Why would we suddenly stop using firewalls though? They have been standard on networks for decades.

Your point about the visual keyboard is important. As long as they have a repeatable 1 bit worth of output, you can extract any number of bytes. You can have a keyboard where they can see it, move your finger from one letter to the next, and then when they do their 1 bit of output (e.g. blink) that locks in the letter. For the film lovers out there, there's a great dramatization of this in the 2007 French movie The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. [1]

I have to meet with colleagues 10 and 16 hours ahead, which translates to early AM and late PM meetings. If I want to work an honest 8 hours, I'd have to take a mid-day siesta. And my leadership says I have to lead these teams, since improper requirements gathering and language barriers can reduce productivity. I don't have much of a choice.
This is the situation from a few years ago. It's past that point now. There are now many products the US can no longer make. Such as smartphones. Not make at a competitive price. Make at all. The manufacturing has been lost, as has the know-how. Motorola was the last US phone maker. They were bought by Google, then, two years later, sold to Lenovo in China.

Someday, not too far away, Foxconn will no longer need Apple.

Anyone remember RCA? The Radio Corporation of America? "The most trusted name in television?". Owned the NBC network. Made Spectra computers. Today it's just a front company that licenses out the brand.

Anyone remember Western Electric? Made most of the telephone switching equipment in the US.
They eventually became Nortel, which went bankrupt around 2011.

That could happen to Apple.

Or will result in doctors not taking people seriously because only a small percentage of their patients claiming to have a mental illness actually have one.

It might sometimes work, but chiropractic is still quackery. Let's say I notice that kicking someone in the kneecap seems to cure the cold. If I go around offering to kick people in the kneecaps and don't claim to know why - or even if - it helps that's fine. But once I start saying it optimises your body's energy flow which enlists white blood cells to fight disease, that's quackery.

The whole basis of chiropractic is pseudoscience at best or actively rejecting the scientific method at worst. Part of what they do is likely effective for some. Studies suggest it's about as effective as massage, physical therapy or exercise.

Now, there are absolutely some "good" people in the industry that know and accept that chiropractic orthodoxy is pseudoscience, but nevertheless feel that spinal manipulation helps with some conditions and don't make grand claims or claim to be able to treat non-MSK conditions. It is probably unfair to describe those individuals as quacks. But textbook definition chiropractic as an industry is absolute nonsense.

The coding aspect depends on the role and the company. Most of my interviews were for a senior manager role and did not have coding, focusing on system design and behavioral, with the exception of one unicorn that rejected me after a coding screen for a Director role (that I thought I nailed). Mind you, all other companies skipped me past the tech screen, not sure how common that is for managers. Google downleveled and wanted to administer a coding session for L6, which I declined. I know that Facebook still has coding for senior managers (M2) but not directors (D1+).
Stay safe out there.
Good points. But I wonder about losing the “know-how”. Aren’t these international corporations with some of their biggest offices in the US anyway? Is there really any secret sauce at any of these companies? And what problem would or do US companies have hiring back any lost talent? Seems many want to work in the Bay Area anyway, and nobody can pay like Apple, Google, etc.

This really explains a lot - I have been seeing a sudden surge of of ADHD "diagnosis" or ADHD related content on all the popular social platforms (including HN) in the past 6 months or so, and was pondering if it was a concerted social media campaign by some pharma company or fund managers.

For those of you wondering if you have ADHD, please be aware that the more common depression and anxiety disorder often share similar symptoms. Some personality disorders too may appear like ADHD to the untrained. It is very easy to misdiagnose yourself when it comes to such mental ailment.

It would require smarter on-board drive electronics. Commodity floppies were kept as dumb devices to minimize costs. SCSI was cost prohibitive and ATAPI came along too late. The only other option would be a hack on the existing floppy interface.

The poem which started and inspired my whole adult life so far... has helped me many any times over
To a limited extent, depending what you expose and what you control. Basic AC and heating makes generic assumptions. If you know enough about your own property and how it heats and cools you can achieve significant, double digit % cost savings by timing heating and cooling to maximise environmentally driven states, and cheap/off-peak electricity. I had this from an engineer who designed these things before nest came along. It's probably high end only in specific cases but certainly should be able to make your home more comfortable for no more and possibly less power cost. Complex systems may never make an ROI so .. ymmv.

Same with fridges, washing machines.

I'm less convinced about smart doors, demands security review like online and fallback mechanisms for power outages but on principle giving delivery people access to a safe zone to drop parcels seems like a good idea.

>>Caste concerns in America shouldn't be one of them.

It is a concern.

As much as struggle stories you hear there in the US, they are on top of some next level cheating, privilege and machiavellian play involved in trampling people back home in India and arriving there in US and then acting all fair and merit.

Multiply this with discrimination at every level in office places. This is at many levels religious, class, caste and even linguistic basis.

We don't have lockdowns, and haven't had lockdowns in America

Blaming the unvaccinated, who comprise the overwhelming majority of those that get hospitalized, spread it and die, is a good answer. I think a lot of this is solved by deprioritizing them at triage time or letting them recuperate at home.

Yep. America wants environmental laws locally, but they don’t want to import them for convenience’s sake. Nobody wants to fundamentally change their lifestyle. Take timber for instance. We rape Canada and South America for their trees, but protect trees domestically. This is completely absurd if you accept that environmental problems are global problems. It’s stupid to save a Spotted Owl and the forest locally if you’re letting Canada, China, Brazil or whoever do something 1000x worse while paying them for it.

America needs to dog food it. Don’t like it? Don’t consume so much wood and export your catastrophe.
I feel like there is wisdom in "Make hay while the sun shines." When you're young and unencumbered by responsibility and family, when your cognitive abilities are at their peak, when your energy is endless, when your body is strong and healthy, when your knees work, and your fingers can type without arthritis: that's the optimal time to work and earn. Min-max that salary and stay healthy. Due to compounding interest, a dollar made in your 20's is far, far more valuable than a dollar made in your 60's. Every morsel you make and save early means your retirement comes earlier. There will never be a more efficient time to earn those days of leisure that will come later if you stay healthy.

Take that vacation to Bali when you're young, and you are wasting your prime, strongest days that could be making you financially secure and/or independent. Go windsurfing for a year in Ibiza after college, and you're adding 5 years to your working life--retiring at 62 instead of 57. It didn't sound like much time when I was young, but today, as I turn elderly, I'm counting down the years until I can finally retire, and kicking myself for goofing around when I was younger. If I could do it all again, I'd have tried harder to get into big tech early, I'd have taken comp and 401(k)s and advancement more seriously. I'd have played fewer video games, traveled less, and relaxed on the beach less.

Life isn't short--it's LONG, and you have a brief moment in that life to maximize your preparation for the rest of it. Use it wisely.
False. The current physician shortage is primarily caused by insufficient federal funding for medical residencies. Every year there are doctors who graduate from medical school but are never allowed to practice medicine because they can't get matched to a residency program. The AMA has been lobbying Congress to increase the supply for years.
