I'm late 40s and basically the kind of man the article describes. I have saved up enough that I can go some time without working. My house is paid off. But I'm definitely spending my retirement funds. My estimate is 5% chance I'm homeless within 20 years.

Untreated ADHD is the main thing keeping me out of the workforce. Thank our government's restrictive policies around the diagnosis and medication for that. But its not like I'm sitting around enjoying the high life. My spending is basically poverty level. Most people would find it completely inadequate. No wife/kids so that helps.

I'm not _completely_ unemployed, I have a programming contract but I barely bill any hours. Also 10-15% of my time is spent providing what I call "social support" for my aging parents.

Yes, that is correct. But not having NAT is the same as having addresses that depend on the subnet prefix.
The more interesting part for me would be if they explored more about how it was determined they were cheating and what the punishment was - ie the entire basis for the case. Imagine all the money wasted on this case when a simple solution existed.

Think they cheated? Create a different test of the material and administer it separately.

Globalization is dead if we hit peak world energy. Then it's every country for themselves. Most products contain energy, so why export energy in the form of finished goods? As energy gets more scarce, countries will get more stingy with exports and tend toward autarky.
I am not a network engineer, but for about 20 years I have wondered why we didn't 'just' do something like:

1. Include an extra 32-bits of address information as an IP options header. Call it an IP4.4 packet.

2. (I think?) IP4.4 packets would therefore happily travel over existing IP4 infrastructure.

3. Each existing IP4 address becomes a potential IP4.4 network with 32-bits of address space behind it.

IP4.4 aware routers at the network border could swap inbound IP4 destination with the .4 address before forwarding on to the internal network. Basically like NAT, but you can allow inbound connections without maintaining state.

EDIT: formatting
Apple still scans all sent or received messages for explicit images if the phone is registered to a minor and if a specific setting is turned on by a parent. It blurs received NSFW pictures and gives a warning if sending one. This client side scanning is already implemented. Parents are no longer notified, thankfully.

I am glad the more blatantly privacy violating policy was canceled, but I can't help but be cynical. Especially as Apple has "followed local laws" when strong armed by certain governments, and a recent class action was filed for lying about if Apple tracks you ignoring explicit settings not to.

People don't care about them scanning the files, they care about them doing it on their own device. People read the damn spec, and that's why they disagreed with it.
Is it? I use tiktok and the app routinely tries to throw content outside my bubble at the wall to see what sticks, even in languages I don’t speak.

It is currently showing a lot of Argentinian videos on my feed even though I’m European.

I’m sure that the Chinese version is different and censored, but other than that my experience is that it’s tailored to your personal engagement patterns much more than to the groups you belong to.

Here's the entirety of the explanation for "how it works":

I can only guess that it's some kind of feedback look with time spent on page from Chrome? Maybe? Or an ML system trained to identify the needlessly repetitive and length keyword-laden blather that Google trained everybody to include before the actual recipe / instructions / fact?
Apparently there is a "long-standing practice in paleontology" for researchers to pay private landowners for (exclusive) access to search for fossils on their private property - at least according to this New Yorker article [1] - and that DePalma arranged for that to further his research.

It seems that after the initial promising findings, DePalma put together (with the help of investors or benefactors?) the money for an exclusive long-term lease.

> He found many complete fish, which are rare in the Hell Creek Formation, and he figured that he could remove them intact if he worked with painstaking care. He agreed to pay the rancher a certain amount for each season that he worked there. (The specifics of the arrangement, as is standard practice in paleontology, are a closely guarded secret. The site is now under exclusive long-term lease.)

There is literally nothing aggressive about depression.
I can't agree. Normalizing scanning of files on people's devices is a very very bad precendent. It turns Apple into a low level government policeman rifling through your device which would spread to your PC and android devices. Normalizing this behavior would be truly awful, CSAM would come first, then tax audits, anything that looks "suspicious", etc. That is a very very bad precedent, police should only be able scan your device if they have a warrant.
It probably won't be used for micropayments. Those are the costs of removing the middleman.
What about the market for marriagable men over the longer run? Surely there's interplay...but the paper ignores it.
Or physics or cosmology.
There is another issue. If they can do it, they may have to compile … better not to touch it unless it is shared via some sharing device which explicitly said it will be shared with authority. For individual devices and backup, I were they I would not touch it. Too liable for both ends.
I think it is important to remember that you are catching a person on their journey of acquiring and internalizing information. The reservoir of available information is almost limitless - so no one is going to come close to knowing it all. No point in testing for that. We all navigate the world on different trajectories through this network of information - so your milestones may not be the same as theirs. No point in confirming that theirs are the same as yours.

What you want to look for is their ability to process information, ability to internalize it, and their ability to bring it to bear in solving the problems they will be confronted with. You may have to do this with markers that don't necessarily match your own.

The richness of the network of information they have acquired so far is a marker. The nuances of the insights into that information they have acquired is a marker. The organization of this information into readily usable tools is a marker. These are what you should be looking for, rather than some preconceived ideas of what the markers need to be.
Globalization is just getting started.
For reference, DePalma (the accused) was featured in a New Yorker article in 2019 [1] that was shared and discussed here on HN at the time [2].

(For those that didn't read this article, DePalma is accused of faking the data to match earlier findings w/ another peer to "beat her to the punch," but the initial data and the drawn conclusions are apparently still "valid".)

I'd add, I think there are "communities" (not geographies, but social groups) in which a lot of this holds true, and echoes through society (sex sells) but as a heterosexual male in his 40s, the "women are the suppliers, men are the demanders" narrative is not my experience outside of shallow situations (even if it can be a shallow characterization of, say, the dance floor at a bar)
> At the end of the day, depression is a chemical imbalance

"chemical imbalance" is a myth – https://slate.com/technology/2022/08/ssris-chemical-imbalanc...

In fact, I think it is a very harmful myth. When people become falsely convinced that their depression is due to a "chemical imbalance", it encourages them to see their current mental state as something fixed and unchangeable – and then that false perspective helps to sustain and worsen their depression
I wonder how they measure that. Is it by calories, weight, cost?

I find that Zeihan has some interesting insights, but I also often find that he seems to be a little too confident in some of his predictions. He often times comes off as being very positive about the US outlook, but very pessimistic about the rest of the world. And sure, the US has a better demographic situation than China and Russia and that's going to be bad for them, but it's not like they don't have any cards to play.
Tell HN: macOS Ventura broke the Raspberry Pi Pico ecosystem
Grrr. MacOS Ventura broke the Raspberry Pi Pico ecosystem and they haven't fixed it.

That means micropython and circuitpython don't work on Macos Ventura.

Apparently the Raspberry Pi Foundation have not even succeeded in contacting whoever it is inside Apple who works on Finder - which is what has done the breaking.

Six weeks down the track and Apple has just left it all as busted. Thanks Apple.

Thats also bogus: there is no end to extraction of goods, raw materials from overseas, the players are just shifting around.

You think lithium won't continue to be bought from Australia and Chile for use in Europe?

You think manufacturing in India and China and Vietnam and Pakistan and Bangladesh is all coming home to fruit-of-the-loom unionised labour in the USA?

You think EV will be Tesla, Rivian and never VAG, Volvo, or BYD?

There is no end to movements of goods, (and services) worldwide. The borders and boundaries on what moves to whose profit is shifting. "Globalisation" isn't ending. "We trade with anyone, irrespective of geopolitical blocs" isn't ending. Whats happening is re-balancing.

The global information economy is the profit being made from trading in electronic services. Rent on transactions in payments, funds transfer, arbitrage, the dutch-irish sandwich...
> You process literal pounds of ADP to ATP and back to ADP, every day.

That's exactly my point. Some percentage of that ADP and ATP will be lost and the adenine/ribose broken down or reused for something else - cells are messy environments. Some of that will be lost permanently to waste. The more turnover in this process, the more opportunity for that loss.

My picks for "best TV of the last decade": Better Call Saul, Atlanta, High Maintenance, Maniac, Severance, Game of Thrones (S1-5 only), Undone, and The Expanse. Maybe an honourable mention to Black Mirror, Bojack Horseman, and Silicon Valley.

I have some others I'd personally rate up there, but which are probably more niche (not as widely appealing).
I haven't played it that much, I've normally worked from an overprovisioning approach. Extra power plants are a trivial cost compared to your research. Even vast solar fields aren't all that expensive.

I do agree that if you try to go for a most optimum setup you do risk getting in a black start situation.

My current game I'm trying a totally different idea--I'm trying to play it with no defenses at all, rely purely on killing biter bases before they get upset.

> If the photos are hosted on Google's servers, they have every right to scan whatever they want.

Google is trying to get people arrested because Android backed up their personal photo libraries to Google Photos.

> The day after Mark’s troubles started, the same scenario was playing out in Texas. A toddler in Houston had an infection in his “intimal parts,” wrote his father in an online post that I stumbled upon while reporting out Mark’s story. At the pediatrician’s request, Cassio, who also asked to be identified only by his first name, used an Android to take photos, which were backed up automatically to Google Photos. He then sent them to his wife via Google’s chat service.

> Not scanning for CSAM on your own servers isn't a realistic expectation.

Google isn't just scanning for known examples of kiddie porn, they have developed an algorithm that scans for any image of naked children and, as usual, there doesn't seem to be a human in the loop when their algorithm makes a bad call.
Any sysadmin for a medium sized company with their own servers are likely to end up having to type in IP address or get them off shitty management consoles that don't support copy paste in any way.
For me it solved many reoccurring problems. One issue that popping up for me was the need for a clunky visitor pattern. Say you do collision detection between multiple shapes of different type, or you want to transform a serialized representation of a GUI into GUI elements.

In my mind it also removes a lot of cases where I need major restructuring and and refactoring in typical OOP languages. Getting type hierarchies and code organization wrong is so much easier with OOP and much harder to de-tangle.

Not always easy to explain with examples. Once you used MD for a while and try SD again you really start noticing how clunky SD makes code writing.
Everytime Julia is mentioned on HN, I see a surprising amount of people who dislike the language for whatever reason. I understand a lot of their concerns (time to first plot, debugging sucks, IDE support isn't amazing yet). However, I don't see a lot of alternatives for the niche that Julia occupies. If you want to do high performance scientific computing, there aren't a lot of options in terms of languages.

Python is the de facto but it's so slow for anything that can't be well represented as vectorized NumPy operations. There are ways around that like Numba, Jax, Cython, etc. but their use cases are pretty limited, and they don't work well with other Python packages.

There is, of course, C and C++ which are commonly used to speed up Python or as standalone packages. However, C++ is such a complicated beast that writing performant and correct code takes forever. C is much more manageable, but I find that there are not a lot of scientific packages written in pure C. This isn't even touching on the horrendous build system that is CMake.

Fortran is a pretty simple looking language and would probably be the closest to Julia in terms of speed and expressiveness, but the writing is on the wall and Fortran's days are numbered. I am not aware of many new packages being developed using it.

Other than that, there's languages like Rust and Go but those have ecosystems that are so small, they make Julia's ecosystem look like Python's. I really don't want to spend my time as a grad student writing basic numerical libraries from scratch.

I'm sure OP's point is that they should be paying them more for their labor, something corporations can certainly afford. Corporations don't pay more because their only objective is increasing profit, and I'm sure they'd happily pay them nothing at all if they were allowed to do so.
Care to expound on your thesis a bit more? Is this just a pause in the longterm path to globalization?
Some of the comments in the HN thread who found DePalma's story inspiring did not age well.
How did you build the graph with perspective?
Because make needs to tell the difference between the rules and then the recipes. Make tells the difference by requiring recipes (you shell scripts) to be preceded by tab.

If you let Make accept spaces then there’s no backwards compatible way for it to tell the difference.

You can change the behavior of make to allow a different character to be used before recipes, but then it’s not backwards compatible with other files.

Maybe monitor companies should put chips inside that scan the current screen every second to check for CSAM matches or whatever else they don’t want the customer using their monitors for and diligently report violations to the police?

It doesn't seem there are many orders of magnitude more subatomic particles. 3 quarks in a proton. At most O(10^2) protons in a atom. So it should all fit comfortably in a 512-bit type.

Short answer is the Big Bang theory is wrong. Physics has major problems including identity of dark matter and the whole quantum entanglement spooky action at a distance thingy. Mills has proposed a purely classical atomic model that solves molecular structures exactly and also identifies dark matter as hydrinos - hydrogen atoms with the electron in a lower orbit than ground state. Mills predicts an oscillating universe alternating between matter-filled and energy filled which avoids any big bang and also no beginning or end. Latest update from Mills: https://brilliantlightpower.com/december-update-on-our-progr...

Factorio liquid handling sucks. And it's just water pumps that don't need power--because your first power generation technology is coal-fired burners and they need water to convert to steam to run the steam turbines. They gave us magic pumps rather than provide some means of making power without water.

Likewise, magic belts because belts come far earlier than power.

You were smart not to risk it. Even if you can get your hands on a digital camera that lets you record those moments privately you'll have to be careful about what the OS is on the computer where you store/view those images because now or at some point in the future it could also decide to do the same thing.

No matter how terrible or illegal something is, even if it's abuse or terrorism our own devices shouldn't be treating us as an adversary, watching everything we do to make sure we don't step out of line, and reporting violations to the police.

> What does it even mean to “drop out of the labor force”? They literally decided life was better without working anymore?

I've contemplated this before. I ask my self, is the effort of going to a job for 40+ hours a week and dealing with that stress worth it if it's not enabling me to do what I want (buy a house, raise a family...you know standard human things)? The asinine housing and rental markets and difficulties finding a mate are really the two driving forces I see that would drive men to quit playing the game.
Energy isn't all that limited though, especially with ever improving generation technology in wind and solar and in storage such as grid scale battery facilities.

> As an experiment, if you need to do one, just pick a random cheaper (although I have seen more expensive doing exactly the same; problem is, the amount of 5 stars pushed the rate up but might not mean good or competent code) coder from upwork/fiverr and give them a simple project; something CRUD, in Laravel or node; something chatgpt will come up with no problem. And check the screenshots (upwork 'spies' on devs to see if they are working) of them trying to 'solve the issues'; most of them will be google/SO searches and trying to fix pasted code so it works.

This probably would only work if you had a sample of work from said devs from before the availability of GPT.
