Those pictures are a whole heck of a lot better than much art I see produced by people, including some professional artists. I'm quite happy to look at them, and that it's produced by a non-human changes nothing.

I guess this, in art terms, is the post-scarcity society. Now that's arrived, it's a big problem? Hmm.
Extinction?

>between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, human populations sharply decreased to 3,000–10,000 surviving individuals. (This is disputed but for the purpose of a thought experiment, good enough.)

If over the next couple generations the population of the Earth dropped 90% it would bring us back to the year 1760. If robots are doing all the work, and good stewards of humans, who is to say the population couldnt reduce drastically over centuries and also not collapse into chaos and anarchy and apocalypse?
I do not own a smartphone. I've had one in the past for a few years.

I do not feel isolated in the least.

I do have a VOIP on my computer, that's it.

If someone wants to reach me, they can call and see if I'm at my computer (I am a lot) and if not they leave a voice mail, send me an email, or text me on my VOIP.

I think it sucks to be tethered to a device where I am available every second of the day, where you can't have time to yourself. And I like a LOT of time for myself.

Also, I find it SUPER creepy that you can be tracked 24/7 and a corporation knows your EVERY move and it is recorded for all time on some computer drive. They will know forever every single place you've ever been. Creeps me the fluck out.

I just don't need a smart phone. I always know where I'm going so don't need the directions on a smart phone. For the rare occasions that I do, maybe once or twice a year, I just write down the directions, it's fine.

The first iphone was introduced in 2007, only 15 years ago. I certainly didn't feel isolated from friends and family before that time.

I don't know, maybe if you are only 14 or 15 or 20 years old and have always had smartphones, you might see it differently.

Well, not every manufacturer. There is one notable automaker that has, is still, and will continue to invest enormous sums of money on the software.

This is almost exactly how I mentally framed the question.
I looked into traveling within the US as a DN, but decided against it because of the costs. Unless I wanted to be in rural America, it was frequently 2K to 3K a month to rent a standard run of the mill 1-2 bed AirBnB. As someone who has traveled internationally before, these costs are easily 2x-4x than renting the same place in another country. This doesn't even account for things like gas and dining out, which again, will be multiples of what would be spent in another part of the world.

If I do decide to travel in the US, it will be van life style. Temporary housing has just gotten way more expensive and that's no surprises; houses cost more and those costs are reflected in the bill.
Why do we need replacement?

Imagine for a moment that this study was trying to demonstrate that e.g. climate change was primarily caused by solar variation a la Willie Wei-Hock Soon [1]. And he provided the exact same quality of evidence, and the exact same "issues." There is zero chance you would now be claiming this to be a "universal" in spite of the exact same quality, or lack thereof, of evidence.

I was not shifting any goalposts, but simply referencing more evidence on the fundamental issue: that this study was intentionally biased and misleading with the goal of "proving", by any means necessary, a conclusion of which the authors had 0 interest in genuinely testing.

As I suspect we'll be wrapping up, I simply want to thank you for the interesting and lively discussion on this issue. It's rare two people can disagree on the internet for more than a few posts without things devolving into 'You're a poopy face.' 'No, you!'

>The authors say this like it's a bad thing.

Children have become so expensive to raise in the west that there is _no_ country which is not in demographic collapse. This is being offset by mass immigration which only works so long as the developing world is producing a surplus of people. Something that is no longer happening.

Because of laws like this we have set up a demographics time bomb where in any country richer than India there aren't enough women under 40 to give birth to a generation of the same size as the previous one.

It's rather bizarre listening to people praise a model which is so unsustainable it produces more 80+ year olds than >30 year olds.

One more thing covered in AirBnB’s blog posts is that they did eventually create a framework to make it easy to launch new experiences across platforms (versus the old way of needing to coordinate across 4). They just built it themselves and customized it to their needs versus using RN.

Yeah the frameworks are painful to work with and require extremely powerful (and expensive) systems to develop with while js can be learned on any old low end chromebook.

I quite honestly don't even look at the names, I just look at what people have to say. Why? Because people can have quite rational, grounded, informed opinions and insight on one field, yet have completely off-the-mark, borderline tinfoil-hat-crap in another. Doesn't mean I don't respect the person, just means that no person knows everything, and putting anybody on a pedestal is something that is eventually going to hurt you and them too.

> If you want to work on botany you might study botany and work as a botanist. It's not the degree that means you end up with a botanist's salary - it's the fact that you wanted to be a botanist!

I suppose that's part of the nature of analyzing the numbers though isn't it? How likely it is, even with a botany degree and a goal to be a botanist, that you actually do become a botanist, and the salary outcome is one way to normalize different pathways and outcomes.

For example, if the normalized salary range of people who studied botany ended up in the $300k range, it might mean that it was more likely that people who initially wanted to get into botany ended up instead becoming physicians, and then you could poke into the why of that and see if there's actually some other signal that stronger for people who actually get into professional botany, like having dabbled in weed growing and having connections in that industry

There is no upper bound on how safe we can make cars which is why they now cost more than a house did in 1950.

We are essentially stopping the poor from reproducing because we've decided that their lives aren't worth living. Which is fine, until you realize that to billionaires neither are ours.
I misunderstood what you were saying about it running on unmount when the dependency array is empty.

Of course, it does run on unmount when the dependency array is empty, and it runs on unmount when there are dependencies in the dependency array.

But upon re-reading what you said, I think your intent was that it's comparable to componentWillUnmount() in class-based React only when the dependency array is empty (because otherwise the cleanup function also gets called when dependencies change).

My apologies, as I never really used class-based React, so the distinction was lost on me (and also forgot about the cleanup function being called between useEffect callback calls)
It doesn't make any sense to only look at the birth rate in a geographically constrained area. Of course you can cherry pick a place and say the birth rate is sub-replacement. But the world wide population has more than doubled in the last 50 years. These 'developed' countries are shooting themselves in the foot with their immigration policies, not their birth rates. Over the next 50 years, the countries with the most open borders will be the countries with the strongest economies.
> I don't want to sound melodramatic, but when humanity on average produces less than 2 children per woman, it is heading for extinction. I keep hearing all sorts of counter-arguments, such as:

> * there is too many people

If there's any negative feedback effect, like, "holy shit, we have no space-- let's breed less!" then it's all just fine if you have a ton of people around.

Population contracts; there's more resources available per person; population increases. It seeks equilibrium.

If there's even any subgroups breeding above replacement stably, this all works out: the subgroups that breed above replacement replace the groups that breed below replacement.

> we desperately need more children born

Human population isn't contracting.

Even if it starts contracting 10% per generation (call that 25 years), we'll still be over a billion people 475 years from now. Population is increasing; we're not about to start shrinking by 10% per generation anytime soon. There's nothing "desperate" about this.

On the other hand, if we wreck the whole planet and 90% of us die off, we'll reach a billion people in the relatively short term.

I have a few specific examples in mind, but my brother does tile and he's often carrying a load of tile, a saw, etc 50-60 miles in traffic to jobs. Sometimes he hauls a trailer with even more gear for bigger jobs and with that trailer, you're looking at 1/3 the range of the battery which gives it about 100 miles which isn't really conducive to those long trips. Even if those jobs are only 2-3x a year, that truck is pretty DOA.

I'd say you'd probably get the same range for those guys who haul a lot of mowers, weedeaters, gas, etc. They have shorter ranges though so they may be fine.

Union jobs that go distances to factories carrying welders would struggle too. No one wants to think about range in the winter while you've got a crew of 5 people and a trailer.

I'm sure there are plenty of jobs that'll be fine, but I think the line is drawn if you have a crew + a trailer. It's just too risky.
It’s a dingy look on the industry.

Reading this article and the comments is frustrating given everything about these infotainment systems has been the same for 10+ years with very little improvements. Its embarrassing an iPad from 2012 can out perform these multi-thousand dollar car systems in both UX and speed. I was hoping the tesla experience would light a fire in traditional car companies making it more a priority but here we are basically just using the system as a screen to project our phones “car mode”. If it were possible I would rather buy a car with a floating usb-c mount for a tablet than pay 5k for an expensive system that I “basically” only use the display to mirror my phone.

No, it isn't. That kind of comparison is like saying that, because bombs can explode, and explosives in bombs are chemically similar to gasoline, we shouldn't use gasoline in cars. It's simply not valid.

Those are forms we knew about before we knew anything about Linear B; they are not independently evidence that we are reading the Linear B correctly. When you hallucinate material, it's not surprising that you hallucinate something you're already familiar with.

Overshooting into rapid contraction in developed countries sucks.

Better to reach equilibrium or very slow contraction. Give social and economic systems time to adapt.
useRef does only one thing. It returns an object where the latest value is current. That’s all. Element components will use a ref to put a reference to themselves if you pass one via the ref prop. They can be used to store anything else too. Nothing magic or confusing.

If anything it’d be weirder to make this two separate concepts. What would they even be? What does a ref not already do, as a box that contains an arbitrary value, that we’d want from a box with an element in it?

> Here's a story from yesterday of how Apple's SwiftUI (their much vaunted successor to UIKit, a very flawed framework itself) is struggling to construct basic settings views in the new version of MacOS:

A journalist who is not an iOS developer saying something 'feels wrong' doesn't mean much in terms of quantitative evaluation of SwiftUI.

Others have already commented elsewhere on the source material (a list of UX nits) was based on a one month old beta release, and many had already been fixed at the time the list was published - something the author of that list neglected to point out at first.

> Not to mention the criticism of Swift as a language and how it has evolved, including the original creator leaving.

People leave. Rob Pike has mostly stopped working on Go. Graydon Hoare left Mozilla - and worked on Swift for a time.

> And how complicated doing a fucking substring is:

I don't understand your reference. String manipulation on Swift has gotten markedly easier since Swift 3 (when that page was created), but it is still meant to be correct/safe unicode grapheme manipulations at its core. Swift's character type is essentially a variable length, special-case of string.

Most Swift string criticisms come down to - if you want to treat text as offsets into a (mutable) binary buffer, work with binary buffers and not unicode strings.

> In my opinion, Flexbox is a perfect way of laying out elements on a 2D screen. It's way less confusing than the complex constraints system that UIKit used. React Native's implementation of it works well. Kotlin and Swift as DSLs do not need to exist. They are solutions in search of a problem. Designed by big tech to moat their platforms.

AppKit and UIKit's original constraint system was simple, even simplistic.

The constraint system that was built on top was sophisticated, but is generally too fiddly. You pretty much need training in the interface builder to understand how to get constraints to apply and stick.

This was quite simply because it was a bolt-on constraint solver over a layout engine with multiple decades of legacy. No layout options went away when constraints were added - instead, the system had to adapt to having (workarounds) for all the different approaches to operate concurrently.

I don't quite understand what technical complaints if any you have of Kotlin DSL or of SwiftUI's layout systems, so I can't speak to that.

> Unless you're building an app that has a very non standard UI or a game, it doesn't make sense not to use React Native in my opinion.

I'm curious what makes something a 'standard UI' when doing native cross-platform development.
Your comment is incredibly insightful, more than many people will realize.

Case in point, BRL-CAD has had more than 450 years of full-time effort invested, tens of millions with development spanning over four decades. However, that investment is heavily centered around features, integrations, and capabilities that are not as typically useful to the general public.

Usability's slowly expanded, but primary paid focus is military vulnerability and lethality analyses where BRL-CAD is absolutely unparalleled. Even against the likes of CATIA, Creo, NX, Solidworks, etc., development is heavily and strategically optimized and invested for solid geometric analysis, validity, verification, and performance. BRL-CAD so overwhelmingly outperforms the commercial tools in the analysis space and is so well-integrated that it would likely cost tens of millions to stop using it.

Still, general usability is not funded and is left to the auspices of the open source community. That's a long road. Adding usability and developing infrastructure for a system that complex takes time and a level of expertise that isn't common. Until it gets minimum viable general usability, it's hard to scratch one's own itch without personal investment or extrinsic incentives.
