Okay, I suppose going by the strict definition of "social media", it does. The study cites "Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok" as examples, however.

Do you believe there is a fundamental difference between these sites, and something like HN (despite both being social media)? I feel like there is. I know this might come off as "I use the superior, intellectual site" or something like that (even though I use the other sites occasionally). But reading tech-related news and comments about it feels very different than scrolling through funny videos on TikTok.

I don't mean to say HN is any better in terms of mental health than either of the others - I spend more time on it than I really should. But I never leave it feeling depressed or jealous like I do on more common social media: I always feel like I learned something rather than watching a meme I'll forget in 30 seconds.
Yeah, exactly, so it's not science at all and is of no value other than for what the OP said.

I figured it would work since there were no problems for the handful of my domains using DNSSEC with the previous registrar. Maybe the button should come with a warning label. I'll certainly be a bit cautious from now on.
> Personally I think people should avoid grocery delivery unless they really need it.

For environmental/waste reasons? It's not obvious that the world is better served by you driving to the supermarket yourself instead of someone else doing it for you.

Sure, maybe you were passing by anyway, and can combine multiple trips. But the economies of scale mostly work the other way: the delivery driver can deliver to multiple households, the supermarket can deliver straight from a warehouse instead of spending time stacking shelves optimized for display.

Or do you just think people these days shouldn't be so damn lazy as to need someone else to do their grocery shopping? Perhaps they should also grow their own food and sew their own clothes.

It's a feature not a bug, familiarity is the feature. It never massively changes on purpose.
>If I had to bet, and I knew where the data was coming from, I'd say its probably picking up on the style of imaging, rather than anything anatomical. Not all x-rays have bones in, and not all bones differ reliably to detect race.

This was my guess as well. I've spent a lot of time around radiology and AI (I used to work at a company specializing in it) and we read a lot of the failure cases as well. There was one example where the model picked up on the hospital, and one hospital was for higher risk patients- so it learned to assign all patients from that hospital to the disease category simply because they were at that hospital.

There are a ton of cases like this out there, especially when using public datasets (which in the medical field tend to be very unbalanced datasets due to the difficulties of building a HIPAA compliant public dataset).

Much like modern computers and operating systems, with a modern EV like the Tesla it feels a bit like you're not really in full control...
OK but most of us probably get away with just the 1TB drive we might not have otherwise added to our current computer. I'm a life long pirate and honestly never knew about "indexer subscriptions" or that usenet was something you could pay for.

Your fiscal problem is data hoarding, not piracy.

Your commitment to making sure your favorite TV shows never disappear into the void of indefinitely buffering cloud rentals is commendable.
Yeah, you never know if the backup is really working, or if the deletion might (in some obviously-deeply-flawed logic/architecture) get streamed to the replica/backup, etc. I'm not taking a position on the workplace ethics issue, but from a sheerly technical standpoint I would not characterise that as a safe course of action, like that person seemed to be representing it.
Is there a reason to consider the use of a noisy signal as a strong sign of a low-quality study, without addressing whether the noise is correlated with the outcome?

Do we think this study would be improved if it did not control for genetics at all?
So isn’t the “evil social construct” part actually the invalid extension of the theory that biological or phenotypic differences mean that someone is more or less human? You can remove that part and still acknowledge that there are biological differences between people based on their genetic lineage without invalidating their basic humanity.
Can a ccTLD be converted to a gTLD? Is that sort of what happened to .io?

No, they really aren't.

- Lacking time stability means no one tomorrow has any incentive to stick to the policy, and means the policy is unlikely to succeed in its objectives.

> while landfills can actually generate a net positive amount of energy.

Are you saying that yet another source of heat production, when we already have global warming going on, is a good thing?
I think there should be a distinction between data hoarding and piracy. One can consume pirated content without keeping it around, effectively looking a bit like just paying for a streaming service, since that's effectively what you get. One could also buy blurays and rip them, keeping the result around, and having the same cost to "hoard" that content on top of paying for the content itself.

For a while, I was in the camp of purchasing my content with the intent to hoard it. So I had the same problem with what it cost to do so. I ended up getting a dedicated NAS appliance specifically for this, and paying for better hardware to do the encoding I wanted faster.

You could look at your usenet and indexer subscriptions as your "streaming service" counterpart.

But I think the point you wanted to make is you do this because the preferred legitimate method of consuming media is onerous because licensing causes content to be kept from you, but piracy doesn't care. The idea being you're willing to pay for it if the legitimate means made it easier, or in some cases, made the content you want available at all.

But none of that matters in the case of hoarding. And hoarding will always have a much higher cost.

"Fractional reserve."
My opinion on why this particular community on HN is interested in crypto collapse stories is a) that we are probably embedded in the tech world already so a “happy” story (fund raise, adoption) just isn’t notable enough. Same reason why cable news only covers disasters. Then b) because many folks like me genuinely believe that many crypto schemes are ponzis and our technical brains have a cognitive dissonance to something wrong/nonsensical being propped up as right. And then c) it’s probably just the effect of a group dynamic whereby weakly held opinions are magnified in a shared setting making small things feel like large biases. I doubt most people here are actively protesting crypto or working towards its downfall.
For those of us less familiar with this space, what are these modern explanation tools? (I certainly agree that it's plausible the model is seeing a physiological difference, and the researchers seem to have considered a few concrete hypotheses on that dimension.)

This is only true if the value of the Bitcoin you mine is higher than the difference in cost between buying and operating a heat pump and buying and operating a mining rig.
I remember riding my bike through the rain and hitting puddles full speed and doing skids on wet grass and absolutely loving it. I also remember we used to go catch and observe certain insects and frogs that would only be seen in the rain.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. Just bad weather can be an opportunity for children too. What about doing art? Lego ? Even cooking something fun?

Recently my friends kids were going mad because they wanted to jump on the trampoline but she wouldn’t let them because it was raining. I really couldn’t see the logic behind it. I’d just let them go for it.

If they’ve been outside doing stuff all day I can’t see how they’d need more stimulus, maybe a bit of TV / relaxation is good for them ?

The comments seemed framed as if it was TV or games, that’s all.
Id disagree that console games were the same as arcade. Arcade often had gimmicks that _required_ more quarters, whereas console encouraged mastery (e.g. learning boss patterns, level layouts, etc). Very few console games would need a game genie to beat, but many arcade games are near impossible with a single quarter.

In reality for certain personalities (myself included) that focus on mastery is actually the addictive bit, and I think its a productive addiction all things considered. Im not addicted to the mind-numbing aspect of playing, I'm addicted to the huge amount of knowledge I need to gain in order to succeed. Its the same reason I was drawn to DOTA and Magic later in life.
AWS has a huge investment in Graviton processors (arm). AWS lacks a full-featured git product. GitHub == Microsoft. Curious if there’s anything happening in the background which further motivated this.
In my case it is 'the market'. Its a private company and there is no mandate not to use plastic or do any of the things they do.
That trilogy (Betrayal, Assassins, Tear of the Gods) is weird.
'Krondor: The Assassins' is 'readable' at least, but is also the only one not based on a game; it can be a little more focused, although it retains it's DnD campaign style story.
The one user interface element I'd suggest is adding the ability to promote/demote nodes w/ the right-click menu when interacting w/ nodes (you could show the keyboard shortcut then to make it discoverable) --- also an option to delete (maybe only if empty?)

Also, when dragging-dropping, I found it way too easy to make empty nodes which was disconcerting.
They at least support gotlan in being a testimonial. And usually that implies some commercial agreement.

And typically such organisations, like arm, want to have a contract, and be it only to make lawyers happy. (clearer liability etc )

Thanks for the detailed response.

Yeah allocation seems like the biggest hangup here. I would rather have a function stick to a "no allocating" contract and allow for some undefined behavior than have a function unexpectedly allocate to preserve safety.
In bith cases we talk about international sanctions. So you are saying that one of crypto's advantages is, basically, illegal finance. Nice.
On the medium term, get professional help, if you can afford it.

On the short term, it might help understanding what’s going on: your brain’s more animal part is trying to protect you from a perceived danger. That’s actually a good thing, most of the time.

Ways to overcome it: they depend a lot on your personality. Ask people who know you about this. In my case, what works is splitting the task into minimal steps.

For example:

1. Sit down in front of the computer

2. Turn off wifi (avoid distractions)

3. Open text editor

4. Write Essay Title

5. Write Abstract

6. Write Index

…

This works for me because my animal might see Write Essay as a tiger about to eat me, but Write Title is fine. Instinct can be stupid like that sometimes lol.

When you have more time, the book Atomic Habits coul also help you, but that’s more long term.
I've been refraining myself to upgrade to MacOSX 11 in order to not mess with my dev environment. Are you planning to release it for MaxOSX 10.14 or lower?
Yes, a true "stablecoin" would be 100% backed by deposits in a known and verifiable money market account and able to be withdrawn into USD or other real currency on demand at a 1:1 ratio. None of the things called stablecoins today meet this very simple set of criteria.
Yes the whole pay extra to unlock a feature that is already there is a big erk and whilst I can see both sides of the coin, it still has an edge too it that erks.

I shudder self driving cars and the prospect that companies would pay to nudge driver routes past their shops is perhaps another future concern, one in which would be a bit evil. Just as well some companies say they will do no evil, though non spring to mind thesedays.

Still, in tech the earliest type of paying to unlock a feature goes back to the 60's iirc and some storage drive that you would pay to upgrade and entailed an engineer comming out and flipping a dip switch to enable the extra capacity. Think it was some ICL kit, though was such a long time ago and never personaly experienced that beyond past down anicdotes.
In the trunk of my car, I have 10 reusable bags, 5 of which are insulated. The total weight of those bags is 2.5 pounds.

Let's suppose because of bag laws, 100,000,000 cars in the U.S. are now carrying around 1 extra pound wherever they go. And that all the cars are gas. (My car's electric, but I don't want to confound the calculations).

Let's assume that the average car travels 12 miles/day (this is probably low).

The fuel cost to haul 2.5 pounds 12 miles/day 100,000,000 times/day is not insignificant. And nobody ever calculates this when comparing reusable bags to disposable bags.

I think it is better to focus on getting kids to do creative projects. For example, parents should get them to write and illustrate a story once a month, or learn to play a music instrument, etc. If kids are doing interesting projects that change yearly and they work to improve their skills then the amount of time they spend on digital media will decrease and will not be a concern.

Having kids do projects is super helpful.
1) It builds their confidence in their ability
2) It shows the world (e.g. college admission boards) how they are valuable
3) It can become a way for them to be their own boss
4) It allows them to figure out what they want to be
5) It keeps them busy and out of trouble

If you're buying secondhand DVD's, and I don't see how you aren't because who's still producing DVD's (or even, who's producing Blurays for older content), then you're on the same level as people who pirate from the eyes of publishers and media conglomerates. You might feel better about yourself, but it's a quirk of history that they haven't been able to make secondhand sales illegal.

I've watched dozens of videos on procrastination and by far the best one is this one by Tim Pychyl: [1]

It's aimed at helping graduate students overcome procrastination, but it's actually useful for just about anyone. It's chock full of very practical tips, and Pychyl's main point is that procrastination is not a time management problem, but a problem with managing negative emotions.

So it sounds like it would be right up your alley.

> Yes, because if they made less money, it wouldn't help me at all

Let's continue this thought experiment - say with a flick of my fingers I made everyone in the world have half the money they have now - but I leave you with the same amount. So you are basically 2X richer than you were before. You say this doesn't help you at all - I think it actually increases your chances of finding housing, finding a mate, getting healthcare etc. Your material well being is established relative to others. If we expand the neighborhood example further - to city or country, it is obvious why the amount others have relative to you matters.

There are multiple standards for C. C23 does not replace C17, or C11, or C99, or even C89. Maybe something should replace C89, but that's another discussion. I'd vote for C99 as a minimum target and prefer C11.

Just as you yourself described, one can absolutely target a platform from scratch with C99, Forth, Lua, a Pascal, a modernish Basic dialect, or some form of Lisp without building the largest, most modern compiler first. Once you have a compiler or even an interpreter for any of those, one can use it to create a compiler for something bigger and more modern. In fact, that's precisely where C was originally targeted - as a portable bootstrap language to various hardware platforms.

On the other hand, one can also target a new platform via LLVM. Both options have their merits and drawbacks.

For bitcoin mining to pay for itself, you need to leave it running to the max 24/7. Each miner is a noisy ~3000w machine. So that's a 3000w heater. You would normally turn down the heater during the day, but if you turn off your miner during the day, you won't break even.
> Github seems to be primarily focused on becoming a social network.

I think I understand why people say this. However, I hardly ever see any of that so it just doesn’t matter to me / isn’t a problem for me.
Obviously. Which is why the question isn't about incrementality. It's about whether the choices one was willing to make were beneficial to something that doesn't seem remotely related at first glance.

Most people aren't going to program 10 hours a day. But they might program 8 hours a day and then do 2 hours of entertainment. Maybe those 2 hours of watching TV were better spent gaming in terms of contributing to other aspects in life. Maybe those 2 hours of gaming could've been 2 hours of drawing instead.

If we're talking about incrementality, we'd better question why almost every software company is still treating their employees like idiot savants when games show us how quickly people can learn drastically different concepts, as long as presented correctly.
That's just a classic prolife talking point. The right to abortion is covered under the liberty clause of the 14th amendment, and overturning Planned Parenthood v Casey weakens that clause. This means the court is setting up to allow states much more freedom to restrict individual liberties. Why conservatives are okay with this I don't know, I guess authoritarians are okay with losing freedoms as long as they're in power.
