In languages with closures it would be easy to set a variable to the lambda while that same variable is also captured by the lambda. In fact, this seems to happen once in a while in Go, since closures are always lambdas.
No it’s pure logic. One can only write a prenup when going to get married. P(prenup | not marrying) = 0. So if GP is talking about prenup it can only be about marriages. It’s unrelated to falling marriage rates.

Then some data [1]. It’s in there. Most marriages occur before the first child.

All I was arguing is that a prenup is an illogical moment in time to think about children in the context of divorce. I’ll go out and state that there is no way I could phantom what being a dad means before I was one for a few years. A prenup in my case would thus be empty of emotional baggage with regard to yet to be had children at that moment.

A “children and separation” plan might be a good exercise for any couple after one year with a first baby. But with these plans it is with everything else: those likely to think and talk about it, aren’t the most likely to get into a (messy) divorce.

I'm surprised they didn't factor in the energy required to process the sewage from bank toilets.

They created their own crop circle using the same method as Doug and Dave, and then watched as two different kind of people came to the place:

- the "New Age" folks with their pendulums, rods, measuring "vibrations" and reading "energy" with the help of "quantum physics"

- the skeptics

The "New Agers" concluded it was made by aliens and "energies" (both amusing and cringeworthy to watch), the skeptics didn't fall for it and concluded a human creation, like every crop circle they've analyzed so far.

Now, when a crop circle appears on the Moon or a highly unreachable place, when it's drawn on a field with no grooves to hide the steps, then we might be on something. In the meantime, it's just glorified street art.
Your argument falls flat when faced with rich history of modding and hacking. So many incredible creations were labors of love. Plenty of them eventually became commercial products.
Or a radically different airframe design. One that perhaps is much bigger and flies slower but is very low weight (by virtue of being mostly full of hydrogen).
Ignore the idea that the plane and it's sound are in different locations ... The key to understanding this phenomena is that there seems to be a greater discrepancy the further YOU are from the plane. Ignore the planes sound and consider the case where someone on the plane set off a firecracker. When you hear the sound from the firecracker,the plane will have moved away from that point!
Jesus. If Americans were only as passionate about restricting guns, instead of giving this stupid stunt even more attention... Somebody took your holy AI toys and did something infantile. So what.
> Despite having a later wakeup time, I think most teens will probably not get a whole lot of extra sleep. Kids are kids and will stay up later to play games ...

This needn't be true, the natural time for teens to go to sleep is 10-11pm [0]. So at this time they may feel tired, and go to sleep.

That's a neat way of putting it. I might steal that.
>It's like they don't have any idea where they want to go and need to make a whole new service every time they have an idea, instead of just adding a feature to their existing service.

It happens because of their internal promotion culture. You get a promotion much faster if you make something new than if you improve something old.
Thanks, good to know about pericarditis. I’m not well versed on that or myocarditis and in particular the IgG or T-Cell response mechanism. Though the little I’ve read seems to indicate myocarditis is still primarily due to an acute immune response, but can re-occur or turn into a more autoimmune condition (chromic myocarditis or perhaps pericarditis).

That said I would normally give the benefit of doubt that the authors of a paper in the Lancet are more well versed on myocarditis and it’s behavior. It looks like they do adjust all their comparisons to odds ‘per 100,000 person-days’. If done properly that would adjust from an event basis to per-time basis or rate which could account for long tail reactions.

Using 90 days would risk including non-vaccine related myocarditis risks as well, which is perhaps why the lancet paper uses the time rate basis. If someone got a normal cold after a month and got pericarditis that'd skew the results as an example. Though I was disappointed to not see statistical analysis or comparison to normal occurrence rates of myocarditis without vaccine exposure, etc. though I didn’t thoroughly check their references, etc.
That's assuming a lot about the work environment.
If your have a team full of professionals, trusted by stakeholders then you don't need any of that.

If my teammember decides documentation needs updating he should go ahead and update it. Tickets and PRs are for thing that need planning and reviewing. I trust my colleagues to know when that is the case and decide accordingly. If any of us messes up we talk about it and improve.

In reality this means that many, if not most, things still get tickets / PRs because it helps but the fact that it's not simple ceremony makes sure everyone knows their importance and saves time when they aren't needed.

I recommend reading Matthew Walker’s “Why we sleep”. Needles to say, as a sleep researcher, he’s a big proponent of schools starting later for kids and youth in the formative years. Especially to make room for the “late morning REM” sleep that appears to be very important for young humans with developing brains.
I recommend reading the manga (written and drawn by Miyazaki) on which the movie is based, which is on another level, and has a nice English edition from Viz: https://www.viz.com/read/manga/nausicaa-of-the-valley-of-the...
Regarding the bad you listed, the article addresses it and basically debunks your concern. Schools that made the change saw teens getting more sleep.

> When Seattle’s public-school district shifted its start time in 2016 (from 7:50 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.), students got a median of an additional 34 minutes of sleep a night as a result. And in Cherry Creek, a Denver-area suburb, high schoolers slept about 45 minutes longer on average, and those improvements endured even two years after the change.

I’m also not sure what’s so “ugly” about your “ugly” point. Starting school later isn’t about solving every possible problem for at-risk kids.
I paid nearly $1500 for my kid myopia treatment plan: specialized drop, checkin every 2 months. Nothing helps. They now recommend I do contacts for my 9 year old and I kindly say hell no. I think this is scammy at best.
That's amazing. My high school started at 7:05. By senior year, I began systematically missing first period because I just couldn't get up and ready on time without feeling terrible.
House keys and a bus though could work though for 90%+ of kids even in places with extreme weather [0] and you could have pre-school programs for the 10% that can't either because their too far for bussing or can't get themselves to the bus, eg those with assorted disabilities. You're right though the school start time is tied to it's function as free daycare for children so parents can work, COVID proved that is a critical part of schooling for the modern economy.

[0] Would need to provide more stops and ideally a better more consistent schedule so kids could get there just in time for the bus. Also for hot weather school picks up in the morning so even the hottest places aren't 110+ at pickup time.
Oh it could get messy quickly. One of the playgrounds I like to hang out with my son at is right under the most common approach to a small local airport. It's also walled off by seven-story apartment buildings on two sides.

The noise from approaching planes is dampened by the building between me and them, but bounce off the opposite building. So it always sounds like they're coming from the opposite direction, until they clear that angle, when they sound correct again, until obscured by the other building...
It is clearly the result of the internal structure of Google where no one in charge is seemingly that interested in producing cohesive products, there is apparently a kind of internal competitive economy which results in this and other nonsense.
Yes, thank you for explaining this more clearly :)

I remember some issue on dell laptops with windows 10 not hibernating properly and getting cooked inside people's laptop bags.

Maybe that's what they meant with the whole just "closed the lid" scenario.
Unfortunately, this is very wrong! Why does it have to be a sudden sound? The effect the article describes is the same as eg thunder, except an aircraft is continuously moving and emitting sound. The aircraft in the article is not heading directly towards the observer. It simply takes time for the sound produced at a given moment to reach the observer, but the light from the aircraft travels much faster, which is why the lag is observed. It is not ‘sound attenuation’ or ‘hearing threshold’.
That's a great little book.

> ... Google said it suspended Lemoine for breaching confidentiality policies by publishing the conversations with LaMDA online, and said in a statement that he was employed as a software engineer, not an ethicist.

He is probably in the wrong on many counts, still I find worrying the implications of that line.

This is more an AWS thing, I imagine, where the business is providing the client with cloud computing resources in a secure and efficient manner. That at least seems to be a straightforward goal (although I wonder about how their billing really works under the hood, I imagine there are ways to push customers into more expensive tiers than they really need).

Amazon, the warehouse & shipping outfit, is riven with conflicting interests and is probably something of a nightmare to work as a dev at because of that. Current legislation exposes this:

> "The bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) would stop sites including Amazon and Google from giving their own products a leg up in search results. (NYPost Jun 2022)"

Also, consider the people responsible for Amazon's "Time on Task" warehouse worker monitoring system... kind of sadistic at best.
If school starts at 7:30 and you live an hour away with school morning traffic, you’d have to get up at 6am at the latest. Given the need for 8-10 hours of sleep (particularly for highly active athletes who need the extra sleep for muscle recovery), you’d need to go to sleep between 8pm and 10pm. My understanding is that its very difficult for teenagers to go to sleep before 10 for biological reasons, so only a teen with monk like discipline could get the bare minimum (and even then that might not be enough depending on their exercise regimen).

So yeah it’s technically not “impossible”, but it’s very difficult, and it seems to me without good reason.
Actually, that's when it was uploaded to YT, supposedly dates to 2003.

A lot of your personal regret might come from that. I think it's important to note that there are many people who can look back fondly at times they were simply enjoying themselves, even if that time was not strictly 'useful'.

Not always a bad thing though. I know the Stripe connect API so well at this point I could move payment processing in house based on their data structures and save money on fees.
I'm guessing you weren't a female teenager.

I had a very similar schedule to the person you're responding to, except our high school started at 7:25. I'd take a little extra time in the morning just to get my head together before going to school.
Read the headline and thought the article would be about something different. How ironic.
How did Wayland do it initially and how are they doing it now?
Had a buddy with a 3million $ house and something called Savant to run the automation. He was CONSTANTLY battling a system that would either refuse to respond to commands or get creative in how it implemented them. I lost count of the number of times he had to “reboot the house” via the main electrical breaker. More proof that the systems are still very half baked.
When I see TV interviews with the average citizen, I'm not sure if there's anything everyone knows.
> Once you’ve decided, explore a single element that captures the essence of the app, and express that element in a simple, unique shape. For example, the Mail app icon uses an envelope, which is universally associated with mail.

And this bullet point is underneath an example of... the "Photos" app icon, I believe? Which basically violates this suggestion, and as a result looks like a total mess in pixel format (even more so than than the real-life hidpi version on my iPhone).

Mail => envelope

Messages => message bubble

Photos => ...colorful peacock tail that suggests more of a "painter's canvas" than it does "photographs" ??
> are always starting over

I wouldn’t mind it if they kept features or something. Some coherent process, features, etc.

But it is a half baked deal every time with old / obvious features missing.

They operate like a mini no name start up and as far as I’m concerned I don’t think of it that way / if it has the name Google I expect some level of polish…maybe respect the users who get dragged from app to app…
Yeah, my high school started at 8:50 am too, and that still felt too early. This article mentioned that Seattle high schools used to start at 7:50 am, that seems absolutely nuts.

I’d peg roughly 9:30 am as a good time for high schools to start.

Then have sports be an acceptable substitute to gym classes and a regular part of the day. I doubt anyone can explain to me why the captain of our football team also needed to be in gym class playing flag football with us in order to graduate in a way where the answer isn't bureaucratic.

Ovens are quite safe left on, unlike stoves, assuming electric and not gas of course.

But a simple timer can do that job too for both stoves and ovens. A timed or smart circuit breaker when overheating would be a lot “smarter” than a microcontroller, Wi-Fi, app..,

My smoke alarm is “smart” (notifies me). It will also tell me if I forgot something on the stove. If the alarm could shut off the stove then that would be great. But putting me + an app + some startup’s web service in between is too many moving parts in my opinion.

Putting something online means it needs software patches. Which makes it a million times more complicated than it needs to be.

If my fridge broke down I would like to be remotely notified, but having it online isn’t worth the risk (mostly that the manufacturer would brick it - not that I’d be hacked to be honest) and hassle, plus chances are that when it breaks down so did the notification system.
Youtube Chat and Google Maps chat too
I imagine this often gets treated with the same disdain I treat Google's emails asking me if my family's structural engineering business is open on Christmas Day. (Funnily enough, no human has ever asked this!)
Ok, you can adjust my illustrative example of O(100s-1000s) by the 30ms to account for a finite speed of light if you think that makes any difference to the argument. Let me know.
HN tends to read deprecation notices (in this case, for a 17 year old frontend) and immediately bring up every marketing name for anything and everything involving text communication Google has ever made.

For the record:

- v1 - "Gchat" - simple chat added to Gmail

- v2 - "Google Talk" - 2005 - general chat service created out of "Gchat" enabling people to use it outside Gmail

- v3 - "Google Hangouts" - 2013 - integrate video chat from G+ into Talk

- v4 - "Google Meet/Chat" - 2017 - split Hangouts into video (Meet) and messaging (Chat)
Even Washington Post writing clickbait titles. Nothing in the article talks about “decadence”
What did you see as the central claim of the article?

To me it was that personal finance and budgeting is being marketed to low-income people as a way of getting out of poverty and becoming rich (doctor, lawyer or software engineer rich, not billionaire rich). And it is both misleading in ways that could actually happen and labels them "irresponsible" if they fail to budget their life from $15/hr to European cars and vacations.

I don't know how widespread this marketing is, but the article is clearly written in response to something. Maybe we on HN just don't notice it, because sensible budgeting and investing on a software engineer's salary actually does make you "software engineer rich".

The comparison to dieting is probably more familiar and insightful for us.

Eat smaller portions, avoid sugary drinks and beer, maybe even eat healthy and exercise. Make that your lifestyle not a temporary hack and you will be fit. That works and realistic advice follows it.

But there is clearly a lot of fad diet, gadget and pill advertising out there. Just yesterday I saw an ad for an electric mattress that promised to give you a beach body in 3 months on the highway home. Marketing is selling fat people that they just have to suffer for a few months, after which they will have made it, and can go back to enjoying life (pizzas) of their dreams.

It seems that this article was written because there is a lot of personal finance content just like that out there.
I mean, is anyone using it? Thought it was dead a long time ago.

That explanation helps but doesn't explain why new chat apps get greenlit more often than new local shopping sites, social networks or balloonshots.
Google honestly has the worst products of any large tech. Confusing and irritating. The only bright spark they had was the single search box on the homepage. And that was a stroke of luck. I am sure if they tried anything else, they would have messed it up.
I'm not interested in paying to have my computing freedom violated. If I pay for software, I don't get software, I get a license which is a limited conditional permission to use the software, a privilege that can be taken away and also comes bundled with a stack of rules and prohibitions nobody really cares about.

All proprietary software deserves the git treatment where people eventually get fed up with it and replace it with superior free software, thereby permanently enriching the world. We need to understand the factors that enabled such a development and somehow incentivize them.
"It is unnatural."

Most of our lifestyle is unnatural (we live very differently from the original hunters and gatherers), but we could often find ways how to adapt without causing too much suffering.

If teenagers suffer, I would look at various methods how to mitigate their suffering. Starting the school later is an obvious quick patch, but we shouldn't ignore other problems, such as quality of sleep in general. Not least because some of the problems may persist indefinitely.

Having not enough physical activity is, in my opinion, a contributing factor, though not probably an overwhelming one.
I don't get it. There was united curiosity; that curiosity was sated (for many) by seeing evidence that these were man-made. Not sure where envy and greed enter the picture.

You shouldn't discount research as not "actual research" just because it shows you something you don't like.
Do we actually know this for sure? I don’t really know anything about the LamDa model - similarly, do we know if that is even necessary for conscience and indeed personhood?
I strongly doubt that LaMDA is sentient, but do think it demonstrates the increasing ability of AI to fool people in conversations. For a point of reference, people might want to read about IBM's Project Debater (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/an-ibm-ai-debates...), if they don't already know about it.

And I don't think a fully sentient computer system that does whatever it wants to do would be a good idea. What would be more useful is that such a system is a great assistant that does what you ask of it. Its "intelligence", would be something that is confined to the task assigned to it.
I'm not agree about smartphones. Yes, I agree, most smartphone cams are of very bad quality, but for about decade, exists few model lines, which are comparable to DSLRs.

For example, I use old Samsung Galaxy S4 as my primary photo equipment, because DSLRs which make better photos in same conditions exists, but they are very bulky and extremely expensive, so I just cannot take them everywhere.

Also good cameras are in Sony smarts, I have hear lot of good about Pixels, and few others.
Among the different takes on consciousness one goes that we become conscious when our minds begin to model humans close to us. As you model others in your mind continuously over time, you end up modeling their minds, which leads to creating a model of yourself embedded in them; consciousness as a sort of feedback loop.

Yes, it implies that we are essentially conscious through others and no man is truly an island.

As the article mentions, it might explain the lack of autobiographical memories in early years.

It also explains how treating a person as if they were X results in them eventually behaving as if they are X, especially if you are of consequence to them (a parent, a teacher) or if this treatment is persistent in their life. Since their model of themselves is partly your model of them, it adjusts correspondingly to whatever label they are assigned.
