"Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being"

> For example, Dutch researchers in 2017 conducted a study on how hard news that tends to provide a political perspective affects well-being. They found that on average, well-being falls 6.1 percent for every additional television hard news program watched a week. They explained this by noting the dominance of negative stories on such programs, and the powerlessness viewers might feel in the face of all that bad news. It’s difficult to imagine that stories about political news in America would have any less of a negative impact—especially given how fraught and contentious United States politics is now.

Prescribed remedy is to avoid such media:

> 2. Ration your consumption of politics and limit the time you spend discussing it.

> 3. Turn off ultra-partisan news sources, especially on your own side.
> I haven't found anywhere that makes it easy to find jobs that are specifically in person, or at least hybrid.

In person (with some flexibility/hybrid allowances) is still the default on most platforms. Go on LinkedIn and search jobs by location.
Google isn't known to be a good long term supplier of dev tools. Risks for adopting Flutter are fairly large. I've heard reports from some experienced devs that it has a "primary" vs "secondary" platform effect, and is simply less mature and involves more obstacles than an HTML5/CSS/JS based app.

Thanks for the flashback. I too remember when playing an MP3 took a good chunk of processor utilization, maybe 40%, and doing too many other things at the same time would cause it to stutter. I also remember when 1080p and 4k were taxing respectively.
M-series sounds great, IMHO.

That almost reads like an ad-hominem attack against someone whose perception of reality you don't understand.

My experience, too, is that the energy of meeting someone in person is much better than "meeting" someone online. Also, it's much easier to qualify if the person you're dating is mentally stable and at ease with themselves if you see them in person. It's way too easy to hide serious character flaws when only chatting online. But for a relationship, they'll be deal-breakers.

That means unless you want to waste hours on dates that lead nowhere, you need to quickly meet the other person in-person to do the basic sanity check.

Plus there's all that pheromone stuff which is impossible to check for online.
Which is a loss of freedom of expression, hence the whole debate.

Plus, don't be so naive as to think anti-semites will directly say "we should gas the Jews". They won't say that, because they know they'll get banned. They'll say the closest thing they're allowed to say.
Another use is rendering virtual instruments with low latency, so you can play with a keyboard and render sounds live. Built in sound chips usually have unacceptable levels of latency, even with custom drivers.
been a juggling act for me for some time, and always comes down to - they'd rather take a performance hit vs. harm the branding/interactivity. tho we're in a very niche market that doesn't seem to mind (i do my best to make it as efficient as can be)

Ironically, I live in the notoriously high-crime city to your north, with kids basically the same age. The older one has free reign of our neighborhood at this point. We live in a walkable neighborhood with streets narrow enough that cars can't pick up any significant speed. Everyone agrees that Columbia is "safer," but I'm way less worried about my kids up here.
> Then about three weeks ago he got distracted in the bathroom and fell off a stool with a toothbrush in his mouth. I'll spare you the details. These accidents weren't directly caused by our goal of giving our kids more independence, but they had the effect of making that goal all but impossible, at least for now.

Earlier this summer we had our family holiday in Italy. In week one I had a bike accident which necessitated a visit to the local emergency room and I was wearing a dressing on my arm for the entire holiday. In week two my daughter had an unlucky fall and cut her forehead which necessitated a(nother) visit to the local emergency room, she needed stitches. In week three our eldest was stung by a jellyfish while swimming in the sea. Huge weals all down his body but (fortunately) no trip to ... the emergency room.

We have three kids and you would not believe the number of times I've had to drop everything to take one or other of them to the doctor and/or the hospital.

> the risks feel so real and paralyzing

Seriously: please don't give up on your wish to let your kids explore the world!
The dollar value of “official” external links
I was diagnosed with alopecia universalis at 25, lost all hair, it's also a genetic thing. Balding sucks. I can guarantee there are women out there that will not care about your hair or lack thereof.
You sure? Or does The Atlantic just fit your biases?
It's how they can claim to "invent" things, as opposed to what's actually going on which is regurgitating failed and banned (for good reason) ideas.
The problem of mishandling fear affects not only kids. Most adults seem to be very bad at understanding risk vs reward and responding appropriately. (To wit, how should we compare different kinds of risk/reward, like a very severe risk that's very rare (violent home invasion) as compared to a very minor risk that's an everyday booboo (misplacing your car keys). If we can't recognize where true risk lies and its true cost, and choose a sensible plan of reaction, we will misperceive and overreact to all threats.)

There's no better illustration of this than the widespread confusion about vaccines, not just among "the hesitant". Responding to lopsided risk vs reward ratios, like safe vaccines for dire diseases, should be a slam dunk (polio, smallpox, typhoid). And if you're in a vulnerable subclass (old, immuno-compromised, etc) the same clarity should hold for more modest diseases because they can be mortal for you. SUCH TRADEOFFS SHOULD BE OBVIOUS. It's only the low-reward moderate-risk choices that deserve closer scrutiny (like flu vaccination for kids).

Somehow we all need to learn the two essentials: 1) the basics of probability and how to properly balance risk vs reward, and 2) what are the necessary/sufficient facts -- what do we really know, and how confident should we be in using that knowledge? This really should be taught in every pubic school math class. For 90% of the population, it's much more valuable a skill than typical math courses like geometry, trig, and calculus.

Properly understanding risk is also central to basic reasoning skills. Unlike what's taught in academia, the truths of the world are rarely binary/propositional. When thinking rationally, one needs to be clear in choosing the relevant value proposition (the measure of success/failure) and whether the proposed course of action will achieve it (likelihood of a plan's success/failure). That's a continuous probability, not a binary choice, and we need to develop intuition for how to weigh outcomes against our plans for achieving them.

Minimizing risk should be an engineered response, where we can explain why we believe as we do. The sooner we can all be clear headed about what we know, what we want, and the real risk of success/failure, the better we will be at dealing with all probable worlds.
Damn it. First rule in living in Denver (or Colorado), is not saying how great it is.

I'm not sure how this necessarily leads to a disbelief in the Christian God, because...

> All someone had to do was a bunch of math to make a program emulate a human.

Christian theology says that, that "someone" who did it first was God. And,

> It just proves that we are just machines.

fits quite nicely with the idea that creation is subordinate to the Deity that made it.
My daughters both have their own .22s - they're 8 and 14.

They have .20ga shotguns, too, but don't get nearly as much use out of those.

We currently live in a neighborhood, and my biggest fear in letting them run around is other people calling the police on them for just being unattended. I've already had that happen once, while they were in my own front yard.

We're in the process of looking for a bigger property, further away from other people, where our kids can actually be kids. We'll be able to keep some livestock, and they can ride four-wheelers, gokarts, and dirt bikes. Today they can only do those things when we take them somewhere there's room to do it.
This is super interesting and something I definitely would have used running a previous API product. Best of luck!
Slightly related, I paid for and use the OTP auth app on ios which syncs via icloud. I just wish I had an old-school hardware token that would sync with it (like this https://www.token2.com/shop/product/token2-molto-1-i-multi-p...)
That has more to do with rabid fan bases than lessening social stigma. Trump may be immune to stigma, but that doesn't mean most people are. Al Frankin still got kicked to the curb for groping a co-worker.
I do like how it's a bit more semantic but find/replace for all instances of files that contain a search term in any .sh is like

perl -p -i -e 's/term/replacement/g' | $(grep -rl term)

It's unbelievably fast and handy when you have multiple directories to recurse through or or tons of files. Anyone can remember that after using it like twice. Powershell requires like five lines of code just to get that done as you demonstrated. That's not feature parity at all. I also strongly feel it's way more readable than your example.

Arm sues Qualcomm, wants it to “destroy” Nuvia’s pre-acquisition CPU designs
I just had to do a site which involved a fair amount of interactivity. A sidebar with different types of filters, a search bar at the top, and a complex boolean filter builder inside a modal (think like infinitely-nestable AND/OR filters, where each filter involved 5 dropdowns interacting with each other). Then some area to collect the results and do some operations on them.
I was feeling brave and decided to skip Vue which we otherwise use for complex UIs and do the whole page with HTMX and nothing else. And it worked.

It took me longer, thats for sure, but also because I had to get a feeling for how to approach many things I would have just routinely plumbed together with Vue. And the feeling at the end was really satisfying, a fast-loading, complex interactive page, powered by ~10kb of Javascript, with all filtering logic, validation etc. completely server-side (we use ASP.net). And I have confidence it will work exactly as it is years from now. With our Javascript tooling, I expect things to break by that time.

That said, I certainly pushed the library in parts, and the vote is still out on how easy it will be to understand the flow of interaction if some time has passed.
Not that I've been on this world very long, but from what I've learned of history I think these things ebb and flow. No culture is naturally permanently fixed towards being "traditional" or "progressive" or whatever label, but cultures are always moving in different directions based on the forces of the day which I certainly won't claim to know.

Yes it comes down to 'good' meaning having achieved a certain level, or 'good' implying the existence of a significant spread in ability across e.g a central 95% of people. I've chosen the second meaning, and do believe the spread remains significant.
> 3 is a little young to have much independence

This is very much a cultural and setting thing.

In Japan there’s a tradition of having kids, at around 3 years old, go out by themselves to run errands. There’s a whole tv show about it.

If you are curious about other cultures as well, there’s a pretty good documentary on Apple tv about the first 5 years of life of kids from all around the world, including kids in rural areas, big cities and even small remote tribes.

Regarding the setting, there are some places (like some resorts or big estates), where young kids can be very safe and that allows them to be on their own a lot and build their independence.
Thanks, for the reply, what such a weird policy. I found it so uncanny at first, that I even thought that they had somehow internally a system where they were able to automatically merge some comments and documentation with their source files.
Unscientifically that puts the M1 Pro GPU at about 25% of the performance of a RTX 3080.

Not too shabby...

EDIT - this comment implies it's much faster: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32679518

If that's correct then it's close to matching my 3080 (mobile).
isn't MX the country where four dozen activist college students were murdered, many years later a senior, acting Federal attorney was arrested for the covering up the investigation? (edit)
That's probably due to swapping due to the 8GB of RAM. People who have run Stable Diffusion on M2 airs with 16 GB of RAM seem to get performance that is in line with their GPU core count.

USB 3.2 is also backwards compatible with USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 because they're all the same damn thing just with different names. When they added 10 Gb/s, they renamed 3.0 to 3.1 Gen 1 and made 10 Gb/s 3.1 Gen 2 because... why not? Then 20 Gb/s renamed 5 Gb/s to 3.2 Gen 1, 10 Gb/s to 3.2 Gen 2, and named the new one 3.2 Gen 2x2. What is wrong with the USB consortium?
I have the M1 8GB I mentioned in my first comment, and the M1 Pro 16GB I mentioned in my second component, side-by-side. However, the first one was running a Stable Diffusion branch from earlier in the week, so I replaced using the same instructions. The only difference now is the physical hardware.

The thing to understand is that the 8GB M1 has 8GB. When I run txt2img.py, my Activity Monitor shows a Python process with 9.42GB of memory, and the "Memory Pressure" graph spends time in the red zone as the machine is swapping. While the 16GB M1 Pro immediately shows PLMS Sampler progress, and consistently spends around 3 seconds per iteration (e.g. "3.29s/it" and "2.97s/it"), the 8GB M1 takes several minutes before it jumps from 0% to 2% progress, and it accurately reports "326.24s/it"

So yes, whether it's M1 vs M1 Pro, or 8GB vs 16GB, it really is that stark a difference.

Update: after the second iteration it is 208.44s/it, so it is speeding up. It should drop to less than 120s/it before it finishes, if it runs as quickly as my previous install. And yes, 186.04s/it after the third iteration, and 159.22s/it after the fourth.
We visited family in Europe earlier this summer. So much has changed there compared to only 10-15 years ago. We were never once worried for our kids wandering around alone, because streets were designed so drivers had to drive slow. Also no monster trucks and monster SUVs everywhere. Also lot's of segregated bikelanes. Lots of walkable neighborhoods. A lot fewer casual sociopaths, you know, the sort of people you see here driving on bald tires with their bumper ripped off, jagged pieces of metal sticking out from the front of their car.

Yes, kids brains are underdeveloped, but streets accommodate that there, it's not a death sentence.

It's absolutely unreal how far America seems to have fallen behind, compared to just 10-15 years ago, and how far ahead new traffic calming measures have gotten there in that same timeframe. That's the main thing that strikes us on our return. The absolute complete solipsism on this issue, how trashy and violent the public realm is here.
The US market is the second largest, globally, and is essentially 100% Qualcomm SoC phones outside of recent Pixel models. Samsung is probably the largest manufacturer with both Qualcomm and in-house processors, but the Qualcomm designs have often had better performance (and sell in higher-margin markets). Samsung is also sensitive to license issues and costs with ARM - to the extent that their in-house designs are performance competitive with ARM's designs, they would also be better off switching ISAs. Everyone else in the phone business is either using Qualcomm SoCs or something even cheaper (and even more sensitive to license costs).

Samsung isn't big enough to force a switch on their own, especially not it if would result in a mixed architecture product line. But if Qualcomm wanted to?

I don't think such a switch is _likely_, but it is _possible_, and ARM screwing around with one of its largest and highest-profile customers (especially one known for aggressive legal action and a very short-term notion of compatibility) is a good way to make such a switch look more appealing.

Really, it seems to me that ARM really has only one possible good outcome from this: a settlement where Qualcomm pays them a bit of money. If they actually win, that maybe benefits ARM's in-house design teams and TLA licensing business in the short term, but it basically guarantees that ALA licensees in the server space look at switching ISAs.
I work 70 hours a week. Surely you wouldn’t outlaw my ethic?

And if a run a company, surely I could require my employees to work 5 days, 40 hours?

The solution is to let business owners switch to 4 day weeks and then let the free market sort it out.
...almost no one who does can even attempt to do so in good faith.

This seems a bit overblown. You can't imagine that someone with radically different experiences than your own could genuinely object to some aspect of this "Paradox"? What dastardly scheme do they advance by pretending to so object?
The word "would" indicates targets who haven't committed the crime yet, so I'd say it's being used correctly.
One can still say that freedoms they had are being restricted or backsliding while acknowledging that other people are far less free.
Foreigners buying land there are because it gives them a path to European passport or at very least nearly instant permanent residency. Not because they want to live in Portugal.
Portugal requirement is "just" €280,000 which is extremely low - their neighbor's, Spain, requirement is €500,000.

Whichever country has "good" real-estate prices and golden visa requirements to match will have foreigners buyers.

I have used this ability to pick up defunct meetups as a business opportunity. We used it to expand the footprint of our group to a much larger user base in some parallel communities. We now cross post our events across multiple groups.
And a lot of that violence spills over the border into the US. Bloody cartel murders, extortion, and such are common in the southwest US and beyond. The Mexican government and politicians are all somewhere in between being controlled by the cartels and too scared to do anything about them. That is casus belli, legal grounds for war, by any reasonable understanding of international law.

The first line of the article is

Internet blackouts. Strategic lawsuits against journalists. Regulations restricting the activities of NGOs. The weaponisation of health and security policies. These are all strategies that governments around the world are increasingly using to curtail the right to dissent, protest, and even just access information.

Most of those are made easier by the current structure of the internet.

So the power that Twitter yields is important. A lot of the dictators actually rule with wide enough popular support as to be legitimate. And their mission of thought suppression is made easier by the censorship infrastructure already build to deal with the cancel culture demand. You cannot separate both.
You seem to be replying to a comment that I didn't write. I said nothing whatsoever about what the most extreme sort of punishment for speech is or about the maximal extent to which speech can be restricted. I certainly never suggested that being banned from twitter is either of those things.
Sounds like you are self aware and can realize when you might be going overboard. Just sent my son to college. I made tons of mistakes. He overcame them. People are resilient - so is your child.
Well stated. When I said "you cannot have such a supply chain without demand", I had in mind, the notion that there are society-wide issues in play which are ignored in favor of funding a massive "war on drugs". Maybe misplaced societal priorities? I cannot say; that's way above my pay grade, but it's clear to me that, in the broad vistas of human behaviors, we (the big we) do not seem to have a clear picture of what's really going on.
Reality does. God am I sick of this "who will decide" nonsense. There is no reality where RT is anything but Russian state-sponsored propaganda.
> I'm firmly of the opinion that kids are naturally born geniuses

Do you mean that, relative to kids' intelligence today, everyone could do a lot better but not necessarily equally better? Or do you mean that everyone is born with roughly the same ability and that only some people succeed due to our child-rearing and educational systems?
Yeah I found the prompt annoying so I turned it off. It hid some of my UI and appeared at inappropriate times. Sites don't have enough control over how and where the prompt appears.
