> if we allow women to abort children due to any reason, even financial ones or "i just don't want a kid now", paper abortions for men should be a thing too (sign a paper, give up all rights and obligation to/from the kid).

In some states this is legal, so long as there is someone else willing to step up and provide for the child. Consider that the child cannot provide for itself, and the father has equal obligation to do so. If he didn't intend to produce a child then he should have taken reasonable measures. Women technically have a final say because they take on more risk and physical labor to carry the child to term.
It will be interesting to see how they compete, here. Apple is going entirely their own way - they don't even support the most basic AR/VR standards (like OpenXR). Their headset is likely to retail at 2-3x the price of their competitors and their software library is likely to be filled with things nobody has ever heard about.

What is Apple hoping for here? It sounds like they're trying to sell people a Metaverse-a-la-iPhone, but it's stuck in development hell.

I really do appreciate your view and want to stress that it’s not a personal attack on you or any other engineer at Spotify. Like any software project it’s very easy for someone outside to point at it and say “this is simple and you are bad for not doing better”, and that rarely reflects the complicated reality.

But the flip-side of that is that every single time I try to use this software—something I fork over money for every month—it fails in some baffling, opaque way. At that level it’s more of a management and prioritisation issue - this is exactly the sort of thing that is likely to make me throw my hands up and switch to an alternative.

> But less satisfying, it looks like clang optimizes out the entire zero-initialization logic, presumably because it assumes the expression ((size_t *)p)[-1] is undefined behavior.

Yeah, I also noticed that is undefined behavior!

> Makes me wonder what kind of compiler flags muslibc uses to prevent this.

As far as I can see, the only related flags are `-ffreestanding`, `-fno-builtin` and `-fno-strict-aliasing` but I think none of these flags prevent the undefined behavior if 1) either the malloc() implementation gets inlined into calloc(), or 2) calloc() gets inlined into the caller, so that the compiler realizes that `p` is not actually an array of `size_t` or compatible integers.

So perhaps musl also avoids undefined behavior by forcing `malloc()` and `calloc()` to not be inlined into the caller? Although I'm not entirely sure that actually completely prevents undefined behavior, I think it would just avoid it assuming how compilers usually/currently work?

Edit: On further investigation, I think what I said above is wrong. I think `-ffreestanding` and `-fno-builtin` should be enough to prevent undefined behavior. I wasn't considering the case where `((size_t) *p)[-1]` points to a struct like this:

struct alloc {
size_t something;
unsigned char buffer[]; // flexible array member
}

In this case, then I think the code is not triggering undefined behavior when used with those compiler flags (which prevent the compiler from using its knowledge about malloc's special semantics).

Edit 2: On second thought, even then I think it might trigger undefined behavior because the C standard doesn't guarantee that there's no padding at the end of such a struct?
> I'm not sure I buy the idea that someone is only super racist when they're having an episode, though.

It's a fairly well-documented phenomenon that people suffering from things like dimensia or alzheimers will behave inappropriately, in ways they wouldn't have earlier in life.

Whether they're expressing deep-seated beliefs or simply no longer able to filter invasive thoughts is hard to say. The brain is a complex system and damage caused by trauma or exposure to lead, for example, can also cause increased impulsiveness and social aggression.

I can't imagine how terrifying it must be to slowly lose control of your mind and 'self'.
I disagree pretty strongly with this: it should be incumbent upon you to filter your interests, not upon Rust to filter out potential users.

Rust’s entire raison d’etre is to make secure, performant computing available to everyone. It makes no sense to keep it elite; the idea is to improve the entire state of affairs.

Besides, it’s a big language, and has a wide range of practical idioms: I almost never use reference-counting types in my code, but it’s a perfectly legitimate (and sometimes necessary) feature that also makes the language more accessible to newcomers.
That wasn't exactly what I was implying - more that it's now more socially acceptable to spend your teens and twenties focusing on things other than finding a partner and getting ready to have kids. I know plenty of people who did get married in their 20s, or at least had a stable relationship, but also a good number of people who were focused on their career or hobbies instead and maybe dated occasionally.

I'd actually be curious what the median age people get married at is now vs. in the 80s, although I'd assume that's confounded by people who just don't get married but are functionally in a similar level of committed relationship.

My overall point is that if you're 35 and single now, you're less of a social pariah and automatically seen as a failure of a person. You're also probably experiencing less social or familial pressure to "just settle down with someone". People are having sex and in relationships more because they want to than because they're pressured to.
I've felt in a similar funk at times after years of hard work and studying. Your comments about what to do with free time especially resonate.

For me, my relationships with other people are what can really bring meaning. I would suggest trying to find something you enjoy or that helps others that brings you around other people. You could consider looking in your community for volunteer opportunities or taking up a hobby that involves others. I'd echo other's comments here and suggest something physical, maybe a running group or sports league.

For the burnout I'd suggest meditation and therapy. The Headspace intro course could be a good start. It might be hard to find something that interests you and connect with others until the burnout is dealt with.

> We might not even have sex hormones in the future

Sex hormones like testosterone fulfill many more functions than the name "sex hormone" implies. Like any hormone in the body they act as a form of chemical communication between a variety of systems. This topic is far too deep to get into in a comment so I suggest you do some reading on it.
Like others have said, your comment here is very interesting and makes me want to learn more, but your (pleasantly minimal) homepage has no more information.

Amplenote has a unique "idea/concept" they're designing for, and they spell it out in a series of very interesting blog posts [1]. I don't practice their "idea funnel" concept but their blog post made me interested enough to eventually subscribe to their service.

>Only on hacker news does a physicist who spends their days criticizing string theory (and whose expertise there makes sense) make the front page doing an analysis on testosterone.

So true.

High testosterone is great for people doing jobs that make those people disposable. In the past, that's been the male gender, if you lump them into a group. If activities like combat, climbing power poles, contact sports (women making inroads), are deprecated by tech or whatever, then I guess less testosterone is needed. To add, since population numbers are stagnating, why do we need disposable and non-disposable jobs drawn down gender lines at all? Why do we need our sports separated by gender?

To add, cutting your nuts off has been shown by studies to extend life in males. Whatever your pref is I guess. I'll sacrifice a few years to keep my nuts, thanks. I love my nuts. Oh, and my penis. Strictly my personal preference. To each their own.
There are many leetcode champs who are completely helpless in front of a computer.

The premise of emphasizing leetcode is to get developers who can solve problems fast.

But if the only thing someone knows is competitive programming, and not operating systems, distributed systems, network protocols, serialization formats, libraries and frameworks and pretty much everything that's required to implement actual software, that person won't be able to solve problems fast. In fact, that person may reinvent the square wheel and waste resources.

Looking at tweets like [1] it seems like their original bet was that server single core performance would dramatically outpace client single core performance. Honestly even if that had happened I still don't think their product would have made sense. The hosting cost and bandwidth/latency requirements would still have killed it.

The death of this product is a good sign for computing overall. The more of computing that happens on the client the better. Clients are (at least sometimes) under user control. When stuff moves to the cloud users give up control and that's a bad thing. Long live fat clients!

As I said above, there is widespread use of clinical decision support systems already. They do things like flag patients that the program determines might have sepsis in the hospital.

The issue is, even these relatively simple programs generate large numbers of false positives and negatives.

Now, let's say someone has an uncommon cause of epigrastric pain. Epigastric pain is a very non-specific symptom to begin with. So, the amount of rule based work up you can do on that information alone even for common causes is very small. Nevermind the uncommon causes.

Accurately diagnosing and following up on each patient that walks through your door over the course of an entire 80 year medical history is infinitely more complex than getting a plane from point A to point B.

And, the problem of people giving up after having worked through algorithms isn't necessarily solved by more and more formal algorithms. Airline safety is actually a perfect example of why that is the case. Plenty of cases of pilots getting fixated on what the auto pilot is telling them.

There’s a lot of FUD around this topic. I think immediately after the act there’s a brief, small downtick in levels which lead people to come up with movements like “nofap” as a way to increase T levels. It’s something that sounds like it kinda makes sense, but the clinical data, as I understand it, is inconclusive.

Yeah... This don't really sound prescriptive. The "single study" that looked at COVID is particularly annoying. It wasn't done in isolation with no knowledge of every other study. Such that there is virtually no way to jump straight to that study.

Specifically for stripping down the data. That was informed by every other study.
Even ancient Smalltalk-80 provided —

"Within each project, a set of changes you make to class descriptions is maintained. … Using a browser view of this set of changes, you can find out what you have been doing. Also, you can use the set of changes to create an external file containing descriptions of the modifications you have made to the system so that you can share your work with other users.

…

The storage of changes in the Smalltalk-80 system takes two forms: an internal form as a set of changes (actually a set of objects describing changes), and an external form as a file on which your actions are logged while you are working (in the form of executable expressions or expressions that can be filed into a system). … All the information stored in the internal change set is also written onto the changes file."

The best way to start is probably Rust By Example https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/ and/or Rustlings https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/ . The key is to do those exercises "the hard way" and get some familiarity with the mechanics of coding in Rust. Once you've done that, reading TRPL will make a lot more sense.

How so? Social norms change. White-lie X 10 years ago might be replaced with White-lie Y today. That doesn't make comparing X to Y valid.

As mentioned, before you do the comparison, you *must* make an effort to understand the changing social norms and how that might impact a *known* flawed data source (i.e., self reported).

Then once you come up with a theory about the impact of social norms, you can try to test your theory... Condom sales? Up or down? Other birth control prescriptions, up or down? STDs, up or down? Preg-test sales, up or down? What about associated / related Google search data*?

The bottom line...accepting self-reported data at face value is a true fool's errand. The Science is clear on this. Let's just leave it at that for today.

I’ve introduced sabbath, one day per week (mine was Saturday) where you are not allowed to work or even think about work, not even reading mails. Do what your inner voice leads you to do on these days, including staying in bed all day while listening to audiobooks.

I’ve been using my sabbath day to explore the country I was living in (immersion in different places), and / or meeting people while at it. While traveling I was listening to audiobooks or playing games on my Switch (but overall reduced screen time). It was one of the factors getting me through an AI PhD.
I could certainly see that on the margins, but not to the level of "we haven't had any sexual contact in a year". If the survey was "have you had sex in the last week" then I'd totally accept that social media was driving that number down, but a full year is a really long time. If you're ruining your day/libido that consistently by doomscrolling then that feels like less of a social media problem and more of a personal/relationship problem. I'm sure it's happening to some people, but not this many, right?

It is not narrow. It is the realist definition of the word and the most common definition throughout history. Some phrase it differently but the meaning is the same.
Other measures are also helpful but we don't generally think about them. For example, carefully counting "water-in, water-out" (WIWO) seems like it'd be necessary to avoid dehydration. However in normal circumstances (i.e., when you're not running marathons or exerting yourself in the desert) we don't need to think about this very much. Your body will manage its own hydration levels by making you thirsty only at the appropriate times. WIWO is still a thing but we don't obsess about it.

Now imagine your body couldn't manage its own hydration properly, perhaps because we contaminated our water supplies with something that disregulates the thirst response. Then you'd have a society that spends a lot of time talking about WIWO and it'd be a pretty sick place to live. It's much healthier to treat the underlying disregulation than to force people to constantly be thirsty.
