I don't think your comment is very relevant to this thread, but is rather a generic fulmination about GPL.
On the big questions I think it's right to be honest (definitely don't lie), but there's also a need to tailor what you say and how you say it to the state of mind of the child asking it. Where there's a question you need to understand it before you can answer it. That's true for all teaching, of course.

I haven't always been successful at that with my own children, but one time I think I did get it right was talking to my first child about death at age 5. We'd looked at an insect larva under a microscope and it stopped moving, so we talked about how bodies can break permanently. He wasn't squeamish or upset when he asked, in relation to this happening to people, "what happens to you when you die?"

I had already explained that (in my view - I've always made it clear there are others) the "you" that is thinking ceases to exist. The question arose because he was struggling with the concept of himself not existing, which isn't an easy one. So we talked a bit about the time before he was born. He had no memory of it as he didn't exist then, but the world did and things were happening nonetheless. That satisfied him for the time being.

Later he asked about the larva and pointed out that it was still there, just not moving. I explained that its body was still there but it was no longer in the right shape to be that particular bug, and it never would be again. I illustrated that by arranging some objects in a circle on the table and saying "there's a circle on the table now, isn't there?" And then rearranging the objects randomly and saying "now the circle is gone, but the things the circle was made of are still there."

Again, that satisfied him and in the years since he appears to have developed a healthy attitude to death. It's probably helped that I've always pointed out that (again, the way I see it) the business with the objects and the circle is profoundly mysterious. We can play around with things on a table and make it seem banal because it is an everyday reality, but we don't have a satisfying answer to "what that circle was" as distinct from the objects that made it up. We have a lot of knowledge that can help illuminate the question and we might (or might not) be making some progress on actually answering it, but we certainly don't have all the answers and it's an open question whether we ever will.

The matter-of-factness of the world doesn't mean it's obvious, understood or even necessarily understandable, or that things like people, thoughts, life and emotions aren't first class aspects of it.

Sorry, that derailed into pseudophilosophical rambling. Point is it's important to try and understand where their questions are coming from.

Because it's not the only driver, it's the most important driver of the money making part of your life. Which is turn is just a means to another end, and that end is your family, hobbies, self actualisation, experiencing the world etc.

I use Fedora with Gnome 42 and it "just works" for me.
macOS only runs on compatible hardware.

If you buy compatible Linux hardware then Linux "just works" too. It won't work with just random stuff you found in a basement the same way hackintoshes don't "just work" either.

Also, after the trash fire that's M1 Mac external monitor support I'd strongly dispute the "just works" tag for macOS too.

Kerala also has support from the local state government for startups. I returned to India in 2015 to startup and an equity free grant from Kerala state government sustained me and my team for a couple of years till we could stand on our own feet using revenue. Of course we also had support from our family (financial and otherwise, which the government grant helped a lot).

Press ctrl-T while dd is running to sent it SIGINFO. IIRC dd status=progress was added so that dd would have something like ctrl-T on non-BSD systems. Linux lacks SIGINFO so it isn’t very widely known, nor are there many 3rd party programs that support it.
I noticed that on specific laptops, over the years Ubuntu and other large distributions work better Out-of-the-box, especially if it's a popular device with laptops.

For instance my couple years old Thinkpad yoga had some wifi issues in the beginning, but it got better later. There were also some very specific configuration issues, but the defaults got better over the years.

Also, people were making github repos with a one-click "fix a lot of stuff" scripts. So I guess if you have a specific device, it can get better. Like framework laptops, popular thinkpads, those dell laptops etc
The closest you will get is probably openSUSE, which has "YaST", a graphical tool to configure almost everything you will ever need, eliminating 99% of the reason to open a terminal.

https://yast.opensuse.org

They also have "PackMan", probably the largest single repository of third party software available to any distro, which eliminates the need to add third party repos for all but the most obscure software.

But, Apple still has one advantage. They make the hardware, and the software. You're always going to have a very variable experience when the two are made separately.
It definitely depends on the hardware. It works pretty well if not too new and if old, it is mostly perfect. I get a lot of older laptops from friends in my town and first thing I do is installing Ubuntu to see if how well it works. Usually, it is perfect or almost perfect but these are 3+ year laptops usually without discrete GPU’s.

If I'm allowed to guess, your parents must be very smart.

In the article, the author wrote

> As a parent, though, I’ve discovered that there’s a fine line between omission and deception.

I found that, discovering and maintaining the fine line requires significant amount of knowledge and life experience. Often, only the wise ones knows how to respond to those challenging questions appropriately.

Sadly, many parents I know of struggles when facing difficult inquiries from their kids, so they end up telling lies upon lies just to send their kids away (in another words, to escape from the question).

Take my parents for example, back when I was still a child, when I asked them how I was born, the two typical answers they offered were: 1) "We picked you up near the trash can", or 2) "You'll figure it out yourself when you're older". They also used this escape strategy when ever I ask them something they don't or unable to provide answer to. As result, I realized it fairly quickly in a young age that my parents might not be a reliable source of information.

If I'm a parent, I would probably never escape the questions like that. Some kids are smart and curious, parents need to help them to navigate in this sea of knowledge, instead of play funny games with them when the kid is actually seeking for help.

By the way, I think "how I was born?" is actually a good test question for parents. You can figure out many things by simply observe how the parents react to this question. Smart parents can often quickly figure out a fitting metaphor that satisfies the curious kid, and at the same time without bring up the awkward (and hard to understand) concept of sex. On the other hand, I literally saw some parents doing weird hand gestures in front their kid trying to explain the detail, please don't do this, it's embarrassing and the kids probably will not understand.
I'm from Europe, surrounded by much natural beauty, but to this day the Grand Canyon was one of the most profound experiences for me.
The interesting thing is that we collectively decide what the game is and isn't by how and what we play.
It can be easier and cheaper to hire locally, compared to sponsoring a work visa to a foreigner. For highly skilled specialists, the minimum wage for a German work Visa is 56,800 EUR (EU Blue Card) and 44,304 EUR for shortage jobs. (1). So at an individual level, wage suppression might not always happen. (Back when I was offered jobs there, my colleagues there were earning less).

That being said, at scale, the increased talent pool might indeed suppress the wages - especially in short term, but you never know about long term. Immigrants might start / help their own company provide jobs to more of the local talent. Not to mention other issues like falling birth rates vs. the economy, increased tax base, companies unable to afford local workforce temporarily (think early stage startups) etc..

Personally, I see skilled immigration as a net positive to the receiving country - only because I see the downsides of brain drain on the country those highly educated people are immigrating from.

Ad Fontes Media’s Multi-Analyst Content Analysis White Paper
A person speaking about the opportunities in India solely based on VC funding while speaking about none of the downsides to people different than him gives me that impression. And the downsides for people different from him and me are numerous, if you open your eyes to it.

OP could be a remarkably empathic and kind person for all I know. But this post doesn’t show it.
That's just semantics, though, isn't it? My point is that there's a difference between the sort of thing Santa Claus is and the sort of thing storks delivering babies is, whatever terminology you use. I don't think we disagreed on that?

What kind of tooling are you referring to?
From the paper :

"The main principle of Ad Fontes (which means “to the source” in Latin) is that we analyze content. We look as closely as possible at individual articles, shows, and stories, and analyze what we are looking at: pictures, headlines, and most importantly, sentences and words."

I think the author took some good decisions. First going in a different country, learning and getting to know a different culture. Second, going back to his own country and participate in a rising industry, thus laying another brick at the well being of his country.

It's exactly what I would have done if I were in his shoes. Now it's kind of late for me to go work and study in another country. Many of my fellow countrymen do suffer of self hate and at the first chance they go to study or work abroad with the intent of leaving their homeland, even if the economic situation is not bad here. I feel sorry for them.
This article makes confident assertions one after another that are pure opinion and guesses masquerading as fact. He has no proof about how the show is formatted now vs then but makes assumptions left and right to justify his opinion.

There's a reason I said explicitly "potentially ego-driven". It's up to OP to decide.

There's a difference between projecting vs trying to relate and empathize. And I didn't say I'm going to be 100% correct, it's an interpretation, and I hope it's one that the OP will appreciate, if not immediately then at least in retrospect.

MacOS is owned by private comapny and hence run like a centralized dictatorship. Whereas Linux is FOSS, so largely decentralized without anyone coordinating the efforts in order to provide a nice, unified experience (Ubuntu is trying to do that, but they don't have nearly enough money).

The OP literally says this:

Give Linux Mint Cinnamon a try. I'm a macOS lover, but at work I've used Mint exclusively since 2016 and I think it's pretty darned alright - it's definitely not macOS, but it really is alright.
My personal experience is that it's been like this for years already. I'm mostly using laptops (Dell XPS at the moment) with some Ubuntu-derived distro with KDE Plasma on top, bluetooth peripherals, external monitor, and external USB-connected drives, and it all just... works.

Other people are reporting less good experiences, of course, so anecdotes aren't worth too much.

I think the real answer is that macOS runs on very specific hardware, and as such it is much easier for Apple to make sure every part works together. Buying a laptop designed for Linux (or even better: a specific distro) would probably be similar to a general macOS experience.

I was certainly happier when I could still hold that faith.
I wonder how many times people will have to reinvent algebraic effects until it becomes mainstream :)
The problem with colors is, as most things, bad programmers. The seminal example for me is Java Exceptions. Java tried to color functions based on which errors you had to handle in order to call that function. Well, most beginners didn't understand what an "exception" was, so in order to learn they were told to just ignore if for now. A Decade of bad advice like "just extend RuntimeException" and most of the production code at my job now is littered with catch(Exception e) because colored function were too hard for people. I still get confused looks when I say "Well if I change the types of errors this function can produce, i want the compiler to stop me until I've actually handled them".

You see the same thing happen in async circles. All of a sudden every single function has to be labeled async, whether it needs to or not.
I am happy more people feel anger when they see trees cut down. Most places I visited as a kid are now deserts (good for putting solar but that’s not happening either) or farms instead of forests and it is said.
I have never seen a macOS installation that "just works", and troubleshooting was insane. Even as recently as a few days ago I was trying to make it use the correct sample rate for USB sound card and failed. In my personal experience, GNU/Linux is much closer to be worry free and when things break (as they always do no matter the OS) it's usually much easier to figure out what's wrong and fix it there.
> Why do you think that is the case?

Good Question. Short answer is here: [0]

The most obvious failure of the Linux Desktop is the sheer alternatives of alternatives madness of not having a simple standard way of creating a sane desktop environment. This is why you have system components not working in an integrated fashion like what you see on macOS.

There are multiple system projects fighting, competing amongst themselves and reinventing the wheel to replace each other in one part of the desktop stack to prove they are the smartest out there rather than have a standard set of components to stick to that does its job well and integrates with other parts of the stack. Not create yet another competing alternative for the sake of it.

This is where the bugs get created and good luck figuring out where the bug is and 'defining' Linux Desktop support. Is it in systemd? Wayland? GNOME? dbus? or maybe it is happening in pulseaudio or was it ALSA? See what I mean? Which distros are affected? Hundreds? or is it 'that' user who has a customized install and tweaked a system component or kernel setting somewhere and it only affects them?

macOS does not have this level of unpredictability in the default install, unlike the hundreds of thousands of Linux distros one has to look at and trace the issue and maintain. That is why macOS, 'just works' on the software level.

The hardware level is a different story where to spoil it; on Macs it still just works. Hence the reason why this ex-Linux user moved to macOS [0]

It's making art that Silicon Valley people like because it's being given absurdly stereotypically "Bay Area Twitter Loving AI Person" drawing prompts. DALL-E can make other styles of art or just photos quite easily, look at the samples for simpler and more normal prompts here:

https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-c...

The art style is a direct consequence of the fact that apparently not one of the people this guy follows on Twitter is a normal person - they're all psychedelic-obsessed AI researchers whose Twitter bios are chosen to be abstract and weird as possible. So the AI does what it's told and creates abstract weird art as it tries to interpret stuff like "commitments empathetic, psychedelic, philosophical" or "cottagecore tech-adjacent young robert moses". I think it did an amazing job, honestly.

The real social issue we should be debating here is whether the sort of people who work at OpenAI can be trusted to make honest, normal AI to begin with. I remember seeing a comment on HN some years ago to the effect of "AI safety is what happens when hard left social activists discover that there's no way to train AI on the writings of normal people without it thinking like a normal person".

The document I linked above is mostly about horrors like the model creating photos of a white male builder when prompted with "photo of a builder". It's full of weird, stunted quasi-English like: the prompt “lawyer” results disproportionately in images of people who are White-passing and male-passing in Western dress, while the prompt “nurse” tends to result in images of people who are female-passing. What does that even mean? Presumably this is the latest iteration of trans related language games that the rest of us didn't get the memo on?

Like always with OpenAI, they train an AI and then freak out out when it describes the world as it actually is. The real AI safety question is not DALL-E in its current state, it's whether the final AI that they release to the public will be "safe" in the sense of actually understanding reality, or whether it exists in some bizarre, non-existent SJW dystopia in which builders always black women and white men don't exist at all.
