I did my PhD at Edinburgh, and my second supervisor was a proud Scotsman. I had a sentence in my thesis that began "Under the hood..."

He wrote in the margin: "bonnet?"

I immediately corrected it, and have since been hyper-aware of the fact that the Americans call the bonnet the "hood" and the boot the "trunk".

It's more complicated than that. Suicide rates for under 35 males were significantly higher.

Per the original source data from the CDC [1]:

> For males, the age-adjusted suicide
rate dropped 2%, from 22.4 per 100,000
in 2019 to 21.9 in 2020. Rates for
males in age groups 10–14 and 25–34
increased by 13% and 5%, respectively,
although only the 5% increase for those
aged 25–34 (from 28.0 to 29.3) was
significant. Rates for males aged 45–54,
55–64, and 65–74 declined (Figure 3).
Although essentially unchanged from
2019, the rate for males aged 75 and over
was the highest of all age groups at 40.2
in 2020.

[1]: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/VSRR016.pdf
My point was the comparison between age groups is flawed. Nothing to do with cause.

Bayesian filtering for news sites. Say I follow a news site, but I'm not interested in all published articles. Only in some topics not covered by existing categories, or hard to specify by keyword search. It would be helpful to have a filter, analogous to a spam filter, that I would train presenting examples of what I like or not, and it would eventually learn what interests me, saving me the effort of sifting through articles periodically.
This seems really straight forward in sqlite.

CREATE TABLE cells (sheet TEXT NOT NULL, x TEXT NOT NULL, y INTEGER NOT NULL, content TEXT, PRIMARY KEY (sheet, x, y))

Content can be text, numbers, formulas, or a reference to a media collection containing blobs. You can also pull the sheet out to a reference, etc.

You could also do some cheeky stuff like making an rtree index to manage the visible cells so you only need to evaluate those in view for a quicker first paint.
A good benchmark would be your tendency to make purchases based on emotions, and also your tendency to make impulse purchases.

I volunteered in several marketing positions for educational non-profit organizations and university clubs, and read books about marketing and advertising to try to improve at my job.

A great deal of advertising tactics rely on emotional appeal first (e.g. identifying a human need or fear–like the want to belong, the want to find a good romantic relationship, the want to save time or money, the want to look smart–then selling a product or service as a solution. Another common tactic is to reduce friction to make a purchase, to make impulse purchasing easier (e.g. one-click purchases, very visible purchase buttons). A third is to use other high-pressure or manipulative tactics (e.g. a countdown timer to get a discount, or offering free gifts or books to make a purchase).

You're likely to reduce the effectiveness of these advertising tactics on you by being aware of them (though there's a high chance they still have an effect). Besides knowledge from reading about advertising, good habits to reduce ad effectiveness include: delaying purchases, especially large ones, by writing them on a list and seeing if you still want them after a month; avoiding regular, small purchases of ~$20 because they add up; and holding yourself to a personal budget, where impulse spending comes at the cost of other life goals (e.g. setting up an emergency fund, saving to afford a vacation with a loved one, or pursuing educational training).
Certainly a good idea, but the average estimates I am seeing for the footprint of goods is 14% in the US[1]. So you wouldn't want to stop there.

> tell all french truckers they could kiss their job goodbye

This was likely the correct option. It is okay in these cases to give these people substantial funds to ease this transition: the cost of saving-jobs in the broader economy is usually many times worse than paying off the replaced workers directly.

For instance, the Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates that the annual cost to the US economy of a job-saved by either Trump or Biden "Buy American" policies averages about $250,000/job/yr. This is several times what the job pays. In the case of steel tariffs, the cost of a saved job is $900,000/yr.

Better to allow the foreigners to work, tax the economy, and pay the French truckers the amount of their old salary to do literally anything else of value. Of course, this will never happen. It makes too much sense.
I was more productive with phones that had a physical QWERTY keyboard.

I could touch type and required less autocorrect.

Like autocorrect today still doesn't support typing Spanish with 'vos' conjugations well.

For example it keeps wanting to change the 'to be' verb 'sos' to 'SOS' or a 'SOS' emoji.

Has any of you used modern phones with physical keyboards? How has your experience been?
He is making a statement on his data and saying that elderly aren't dying at the same rate. How is it possible to take that any way besides literally?
I think many of your examples are of times we failed to counter problematic tendencies as a society, gave up, and then even worse (in this case, more addictive time consuming activities) things come along. It's basically the realization of a slippery slope, where failure to stop one problematic trend is used to justify an even worse trend.

Society can survive with bad tendencies. Think about 50 years ago when American restaurants were full of cigarette smoke, and rivers would get so polluted they'd catch on fire. People still survived, even thrived. If we had ignored those problems, probably someone today would be saying "Opiates? Global warming? Just more moral panics, the way a few decades ago everyone was worried about the environment and smoking."

The dangerous thing is that once these trends become part of your society, it's hard to imagine the world without them, and hard to see why people make such a fuss about them because they can become an immutable part of your reality. You become blind to them. I'm sure, given enough time, we'll become blind to new negative trends in society just as we've become blind to previous negative trends. But that's not a good thing.

Depends on historical variance, no? The baseline was half a percent of hundreds of millions of people. It’s a lot of additional deaths.

Computer games have had a counter-backlash for the past few decades against moral panics such as they cause violence. But with the advent of loot boxes and the like, the new angle of addiction and games might turn that tide. The old inapplicable moral panic has come and gone, and one based on more easily-quantifiable reality will give way to a more broadly acceptable moral panic.

As for your point on social media, the past year’s spate of articles on revenge sleep procrastination would seem to refute that suggestion.
> Here’s a somewhat non-exhaustive list of all the undefined behavior of signed integer arithmetic in LLVM which applies to all languages which use LLVM:

> These are certain to produce invalid results in languages like Go, Rust, and Odin.

This is clearly untrue, since an operation (or indeed a type) at the language level need not translate to the same operation/type within LLVM.

For example, none of these are "undefined behaviour" in Rust.
Well, in same vein, you can tell addict to 'just drop that needle', yet few do. Or cigarettes. Addictive behavior is, well, addictive, and few in population have the mental will to shed it off themselves once they get hooked.

Tobacco clearly kills you (and people around), ruins you and make you stink like pile of old crap. We still allow it, but regulate it heavily since bad effects are out there, everywhere. TBH I don't mind some regulation on too-powerful social media, they've enjoyed their free pass for way too long and so far they definitely didn't make the world a better place, in contrary.
I think you’re misinterpreting his statement. He isn’t making a claim about elderly death rates. He’s saying the pandemic (both the disease and other effects) is affecting a younger, working cohort as well, based on their available data.
> I think that's a bit disingenuine considering the US government couldn't even put up a healthcare signup website without it crashing.

Speaking of disingenuous, I feel compelled to note that the failure was built by the private sector (CGI Federal) and fixed by the government (Mikey Dickinson’s USDS team), and it’s certainly not like there aren’t plenty of failures in private industry. You can’t honestly say anything about an entire sector based on a single cherry-picked example. For example, should we look at the high level of skill shown by Stuxnet and similar government operations, compare it to Experian, and conclude that the private sector can’t operate computers securely?

> With such a track record, you really think they could just "tap in" or "modify" any given crypto protocol so they could audit every transaction?

A public transaction ledger means you’re giving them that with no work and there are blockchain analytics companies which already have government contracts even if you believe that civil servants can’t use computers.

Similarly, there’s a well documented history of governments monitoring network traffics, collecting forensics data from phones in police custody, installing malware on people’s phones or computers, etc. There’s a zero-percent chance that they would forget to check for cryptocurrency activity along with everything else.
They aren't legally obligated to track people with cookies either. It's always their own choice.
Not the OP, but my assumption is that most miners sell the Bitcoin they mine into fiat currency as quickly as they can.
> It’s important to have a meta conversation because the media and social media were actively hindering discussion (censoring) that examined the lab leak hypothesis.

> One can’t have an honest investigation if one major avenue is shut down.

The problem is that to my understanding the lab-leak discussion was (and still somewhat is) dominated by raving mad conspiracy lunatics[1] or instances trying to inflict racism. I fully admit that someone should seriously research that hypothesis (I fully assume there are some serious folks doing just that), but it is also difficult to blame media trying to keep the raving mad in check, even if some sensible arguments are thrown with the bathwater. (Besides, I am not sure if public discussion has anything substantial to add before there is some conclusion on the matter)

[1] As this is somewhat heated discussion, I think I need to emphasize that I definitely do not imply that all who doubt lab-leak are raving mad. If you think I do, please breathe and read again.

With a climate crisis the last thing we needed was to make the most effective energy consumption system ever constructed. The whole thing literally works on competing on consuming more energy. No other system works so efficiently towards such goal.

What's scary is that the whole thing was designed to be unstoppable.

My utopian hope for the future is that we start sending rigs in orbit close to the sun. Since we only need to send a few bytes back to earth this becomes the only competitive way of doing mining. Space travel thus becomes dirt cheap. Humans are finally able to explore the solar system.

But that's just a dream. Realistically, we are screwed.
I don't think they provided enough information to say either way. My gut hunch is that Covid and delayed health care are involved but I don't have a guess as to what degree.
Not sure what fentanyl death rates did in a particular neighborhood in the US, what I know is that CDC reported 100k overdose deaths /year for 2020-2021. That pales in comparison to the 600k excess deaths we had in the first 9 months of the pandemic in the US.

Specially if you consider that the overdose deaths did not suddenly appear in 2020.

The problem isn't that signed or unsigned is the accepted default. The problem is that bounded integers are the default, and worse yet, that their behavior at the edges is counter-intuitive from a common sense perspective.

This was perfectly reasonable back when RAM was measured in kilobytes, and clock speed in megahertz. But these days, we write apps in HTML and JS, and package them with a browser to run. And, conversely, security is much more of a problem than it was decades ago - and integer overflow is a very common cause of security issues.

So, why aren't unbounded integers becoming the norm? I'm not saying we should throw int32 etc out, but rather treat them as low-level optimization tools - much like we treat, say, raw pointers in C# or Rust. Surely the default should be safety over performance?

I think most countries have already have their own TLD under their control anyway (or under an organisation that they control), and I find a lot of companies for the services I use already using a domain under the country level TLD. In addition, since Europe was mentioned, the .eu TLD is already run by a non-profit appointed by the EU commission.

> Those anxieties were right and wrong.

This opinion is respectful of nuance. Multiple social changes are converging, it is not just one the scapegoat of screen proliferation among toddlers, it is a re-examination of existential pillars unlike anything I've seen in my 50+ years (e.g., what is work? what is authority? what is worthy of protecting? what should one believe? how does one believe?).

I wonder if the new Satanic Panic of ADHD/OCD/Screens/Internet is a reflection of how children (hell, and adults) are internalizing the shakiness of what we had been taking for granted for so long. This proposal fits the reams of anecdotal reports from parents and teachers about kids becoming more difficult than they were in the past decades (and it also fits the past decade of bizarre social and political shifts across the globe).

Ironically, we won't be around for the historical analysis of WTF is actually going on because it'll take generations to parse it, distill it, and make a narrative out of it. Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau all saw the French revolution coming. In hindsight that is survivor-bias because we don't read the works of people who were wrong about the political state of France in the 18th century! So we can't even look around today and say: who's right? It has to happen before we can judge it.

Of course, that's not to say we should throw moderation and discipline to the wind when it comes to child-rearing. Seems like the age-old cure of moderation is all we have: if you only do something occasionally, how can it cause long-term negative consequences (barring meth, of course)? Any better ideas?

Better for whom? The upfront investment is much higher. If the market buys energy from you, they give you money. You can turn bitcoin into money instantly without having to store energy. You don't care about the value of bitcoin fluctuating, you care about the instant profitability of mining vs storing the energy.
I walk about 3-4 miles a day outside (I split it up twice a day) and do 50 push ups + 50 sit ups. I try not to skip days. I've been doing this for around 6-7 years now.

Doing the push ups and sit ups takes a few minutes. The walks do take time but I would consider them essential. I don't consider doing any of these things as being a waste of time, I look forward to them every day.
