>> How the heck do you try to prevent something like that when all the warning signs are there?

>Surely not by preemptive incarceration.

You aren't suggesting any solutions.

>Coercing kids into physical sports is abusive.

You shouldn't dilute the term abusive like that.

>In general, using coercion (including denial of "privileges" that non-inmates consider a right) is both abusive and probably doomed.

I don't think you have kids, you're looking at it from the child's perspective, not a parent's. You haven't really promoted any solutions, just saying things you shouldn't do, leaving a parent with zero tools whatsoever other than to just let the kid be wild. I've seen the results of that, it's quite destructive as well. It's ultimately the parents' responsibility to raise children, and at least in the US, they get zero help and mostly criticism for how they do it, mostly from people who don't have children themselves.

What do you do if you suspect your child is the next Adam Lanza? What do you do if you are as financially constrained and have nearly zero help as a parent in the US? Some variation of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps?"
I don't get those young girls (I mean children as you seem to imply) - but replying to your message, I assume some did. Or rather you did, or else how would you know they are "very young girls"?

It seems really off to accuse random people on the internet to be attracted to kids.

What I was saying is that I was shown young women, but it still annoyed me.

As for attraction - that is what TikTok's algorithm started out with, and I liked some of them, because why not? As I said, they are cute and they put in the effort to do some funny stunts or whatever. I didn't dislike them, so why not press "like"? Doesn't mean I want to see those girls all the time. Also yeah, I am a heterosexual male, so young women are attractive to me.

I probably would have liked a lot of cat videos, too, if TikTok had shown them to me. Doesn't mean I want to see cat videos all the time, either, and also not that I am sexually attracted to cats.

I only tried TikTok for maybe two days, so I really think it is a failure of the algorithm, not a reveal of my subconsciousness.

Since everybody was raving about the TikTok algorithm, which is what made me try it out in the first place, I assumed that I wouldn't have to be super careful in "training" the algorithm. Apparently I assumed wrong.
If your computer gets infected by virus, all your passwords will be leaked. In comparison, a physical key cannot be stolen by a virus. Also, using a physical key is much easier for an average user than installing a password manager, integrating it with applications, thinking of a secure password and typing it every time you need to login.
It's predicated on accelerating technological progress, which can perhaps be seen to be true by looking back at how quickly society has moved through different technological regimes. Once change becomes too fast, it's impossible to predict what is about to happen. It's called "the singularity" with a loose analogy to black holes where a big curvature means that light cannot escape - with fast enough technological progress, the immediate future is highly uncertain.

The most commonly expected way that this might happen is via AGI - perhaps with self-improving AI - where a sudden increase in AI abilities might drive extremely rapid technological change.
Maybe cops shouldn't be doing that.
At least in in-browser Blazor (C# compiled to WASM) I have full access to the page's Javascript environment: I can call most Javascript methods available, and I can even call eval.

I'm still new to WASM, but I assume this functionality is part of the WASM runtime? (As opposed to a hook that's part of the Javascript part of Blazor?)

There's a very interesting long-form (somewhat chronologically organized) answer to your question from the horse's mouth here https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/W3C
That does not zip though. In fact, it creates a 1-dimensional array of objects because the arrays do not have the same number of items.

>>> a = [np.arange(i) for i in range(1, 11)]

>>> np.array(a).T

array([array([0]), array([0, 1]), array([0, 1, 2]), array([0, 1, 2, 3]),

array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]), array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]),

array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]), array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]),

array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]),

array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])], dtype=object)

In fact, if we are to zip them, it should yield:

>>> list(zip(*a))

[(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)]

zip_arrays otoh does give the same result.

>>> zip_arrays(a)

array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
It's about creating a habit, like many people mentioned here. For me, the git commandline process was a bit too much hassle and typing to do if I wanted to do it atomically. In the end, I wound up using lazygit[0] and the nvim plugin[1] to make life easier. It makes committing only selected chunks a lot easier, not to mention easier cherry picking and other stuff.

There's a tendency to explain away behaviour as being the result of a person being "bad". It's a lazy way out.

> healthy teeth

So "cannot be reasoned with" seems to mean "refuses to accept that I'm right". If you have charge of an unruly kid, I hope you aren't focusing mainly on their dental hygiene.

> These kids are labeled troubled because they are.

Gosh, that sounds rather black-and-white - they're "bad" because they're "bad". I think the word "troubled" here is serving as a dog-whistle; a lot/all of the time, what's being referred to as "troubled" is really "traumatised".

> The chances of randomly digging up a body by pure guess are vanishingly rare.

If your "guess" is a random walk, sure. But it isn't. You're going to walk around, see disturbed dirt, bias towards a trail, or where it makes sense, etc. I don't really but the trance thing.

Maybe a social network that prioritizes high-quality content rather than fresh content. High-quality content (in terms of being e.g. persuasive & informative) may have a better chance of creating positive change than one's typical posts..

I'm working on an experiment at https://toplists.app/ that tries to leverage existing social networks, but this would probably work much better if e.g. Twitter expanded its "pinned" posts so that the UX would be seamless.

Also - perhaps software that improves visibility/transparency/understanding of energy usage, the lives of people in poverty, victims of human rights abuses, farmed animals, political votes, the impact of donations (Effective Altruism), etc

I second this thinking. You may be interested in reading about Geometric Algebra[1] and Infinitesimal Calculus[2], as two other alternative frameworks for the symbolic tooling used in the physical sciences. Together with symbolic manipulation and calculation software, I also think alternative, simpler symbolic frameworks may help solve what I call the "receding shoulders climbing problem". There's a phrase attributed to Newton "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants". The problem today is that the giants became so big, one can spend many years studying and still die before getting anywhere near their shoulders.

> I think the “Macs are owned longer than PCs” is under-appreciated.

I don't like Macs these days, but this is 100% true. In my experience, people who buy macs keep them significantly longer, so comparing simply the price tag of Mac vs. PC is very misleading. The correct comparison is "total cost of ownership".
I know they do standards work on top of web protocols these days. Those digital vaccination records were based on W3C’s Verifiable Credentials standard. (The US ones anyway; I’m not sure about those used elsewhere in the world.)
So what? I don't know what you are implying? So you never like videos of young women dancing? You go on TikTok and are very disciplined to only click on videos with CSS hacks or something?

Indeed. My other half decided to buy one against my wishes, but I can confirm the answers given, and recorded it. You'd think there's plenty context in today's modern web to answer the question, especially in comparison to older presidents.
I mostly hate what mobile games have become. It feels like there are pretty much zero games that you can play that doesn't have microtransactions or a wait time between stuff. Unless you go into the premium store and then most games require a controller - which I don't want to use.
> Like you are watching Avengers End game in Netflix and they ask you if you wanna pay 5 dollars more to watch Captain America use his well known outfit instead of regular clothes?

I don't think that's a fair comparison. It's more like offering to have him use a special limited edition outfit rather than his well known outfit. And I don't see what the big deal is. You can get the standard cost experience, or the higher fee, upsell experience. It's not uncommon, and it's not a major problem. Just pay for what you want. (And learn to want less).
Is it that surprising, given that he was testifying against his estranged son in exchange for leniency?
This is very solid advice. Once you become so productive that you don't need all of your working hours to do your job, you should spend that time on skill acquisition - either learning about something adjacent that you don't do daily or learn something that will be required for the next level (if that is your goal)

This is the only sane way I have found to progress in a tech career. The daily and weekly learning really adds up too - in my experience this is the difference someone who has 10 years of experience and someone who has "2 years repeated 5 times"
Non-mathematician here (psychologist now doing work in data science & machine learning). I was told this book had interesting insights about AI, consciousness, and the like. But I read it last year and found it the most tedious, absolutely unfocused book I've ever read.

Hofstadter is clearly a brilliant person, a polymath. He clearly loves wordplay and classical music. But his ramblings are so often tangential and self-indulgent that probably half the book could be trimmed out without cutting anything insightful. Gödel is important to the book. Escher...makes pictures that, if you squint real hard, could be construed as kind of relevant. Bach...well, the author just likes Bach and decided that he needed to be present. The latter two figures are essentially just used for some examples that could probably have been explained more clearly without using music as the context, given that it then requires him to delve into all the details about how fugues are different from canons, etc. etc.

Let's just say, reading the author's introduction to the 20th anniversary edition of the book states his main premises much more succinctly, to the point where you can skip the rest of the 700+ pages of the book.
Singularities are illusions that occur when models break down. As an apparent singularity approaches either there will be a new model that reveals previously unknown information or there will be a crash.

I agree. I too am, reluctantly, in the why-blame-anyone camp. I say reluctantly because I dislike the current state of affairs.

My critique, pushing as much of the blame onto the gamers, was meant to point out that everyone/no one is to blame.
I think for people who don’t agree with the article, perhaps seeking jobs that are outcome based are ideal. For those that are output based, I think it’s totally reasonable to cut back strategically.
The marketplace sucks but almost every town has a buy/sell page that also works. I refurbish lawnmowers as a hobby and gave up on marketplace years ago not just for that, but also because gaining entry to a buy/sell page acts as a slight filter for junk users trying to waste my time.

Or even not discount it, but some magical requirements about compatibility with existing software that was never used pop up while others, about security and auditability disappear…
> Yes, I really hate this argument that cosmetics are not gameplay.

I don't disagree that they do add something, but theses ones are not something that I want, nor that I need.

> if games shipped without textures and shaders and people would have to pay to unlock them.

I do have to pay for the textures and shaders... I did pay for them as a matter of fact. I didn't pay for the one not included, as I didn't want them. Some did want them, and did pay for them individually. Just like I didn't pay for Elden Ring but plenty did...

Now, when you bought that game, if you were expecting a specific amount of content, and you didn't get that content without paying more, I agree completely, that would be false advertising and that would be definitely wrong.

False advertising is definitely an issue in video games, there's so much overpromising and under-delivering but IAP isn't the issue there (though it definitely can be the reason for your false advertising). Until that part is handled correctly, the market did alleviate most of the false advertising by having an abundant amount of reviews and to me that's a not so bad way to deal with this.
Neat!

And yes, I do agree the world needs a code first open source CAD program :-)
I've used openjscad in the past. It's fairly basic but easy enough to do the modeling part.
The great thing about WASM is that you don’t need to audit the binary - just the code that touches the binary through the WebAssembly.* namespace. If the code looks too complicated, or exposes eval or equivalent capabilities like arbitrary JS function calls, then you should approach with caution and build yourself, etc etc.

Most WASM libraries I’ve considered using (and the one I package myself) use an off-the-shelf Emscripten wrapper minified with Google Closure Compiler. This is annoying to audit compared to plain JS, but certainly doable with a few rename-symbol in your editor.
It gets even better.

With CSGO third parties were essentially selling games for actual currency instead of credit with Valve and using skins as currency for gambling on esports matches. A few of them also came up with other gambling games that didn't even involve esports.

I agree 100%.

Kena Bridge of Spirits and Tony Hawk 1 + 2 HD are amazing games and have no DLC.

It's a very complicated problem to solve, on some level adults have the freedom to be self-destructive. In another business case, dating apps are known to knowingly allow fake profiles to roam to encourage people to subscribe. And even after that, you have various freemium add-ons.

Between this, and a very scary experience, I haven't used an app in years and I actually meet much higher quality people now.

But adults have a right to spend their money whichever way they choose, if you enjoy spending 200$ or $300 a month on free to play games, and chatting with bots, enjoy yourself.

The bigger issue with much of this stuff is there's no clear cap on how much money you can spend, so the bulk of freemium revenue comes from a tiny percentage of consumers.

Like an addict will steal to finance their addiction, you'll have cases where someone will just steal their mom's credit card to buy Fortnite skins or Tinder boosts.

I think a good compromise would be to restrict games with free to play mechanics to adults, as in if you're not at least 18 you're not allowed to play games with loot boxes. Once you're an adult, gambling is fine.

At the same time, I also respect the countries who have just banned this form of gambling outright. As it appears the Netherlands has.

Chickens lay eggs. It is a fact of their life, there is nothing exploitative or bad about it (in principle, I will say that a lot of farms are garbage). "solving" egg whites is the furthest from the ideal that you are espousing that you could possibly get. What needs to be solved properly is dairy, specifically cheese. It is a giant range of foods and none of the current vegan offerings come even close to covering it.

I've listed things for sale in groups, which as far as I can tell an algorithm tries to detect and convert into Marketplace listings.

The items are usually high-end flashlights, which I review as a hobby. They get removed more often than not, to the point that people in those groups usually obfuscate prices so that the algorithm does not detect them as sales listings. When I've appealed those, I got no response.

Facebook does not seem to be very concerned about false positives, or with Marketplace as a product in general.
