I have quite a few thoughts, but this really struck me:

> It’s not my kid. So I just did the right thing, I nodded in showing my understanding and I made sure I didn’t open my stupid mouth and say something dumb.

I’m not known to be quite on topics, ever. But when someone presents an opening like “hey I’m struggling with this, I think this is the problem”

I wouldn’t keep my mouth shut. I’d ask follow up questions. “Has this only started happening since X was introduced”. I’d also offer what / if anything I’ve seen — “yeah, we try to avoid X, saw something similar in our kid”.

You don’t have to tell them what to do and shouldn’t, but as part of a community, share experience.

Regarding the general premise — kids, phones and social media I’ve written on the subject:

https://austingwalters.com/talk-to-yourself/

I think constant tech kills internal dialog, even with adults. But in children it probably breaks some cognitive development.

Put simply, your internal dialog probably helps reprogram you. Anyone, who’s read Gödel Escher Bach should be familiar with the idea, though the details are vague. I find that children who grew up with moderate to heavy social media use end up being far less thoughtful than those who read or play more often.

motivated to undermine US hegemony in IC production.

That doesn’t seem to fit with yesterday’s announcement [1] of an increase to $40 billion investment into new U.S.-based fabs. If anything, I think the opposite is true. TSMC seems to be desperate to move capital out of Taiwan to cut down on the political risk.

Yeah, a loss leader is fine, as long as you can afford the losses.

I should have added: a "loss leader" in a grocery store is something that draws in the customers, but then they buy other things that makes up for the losses. Apparently Astra expected more than they were getting.
You’re comparing security improvements to sherlocking? That’s pure hyperbole.
Static languages can have types which have an unboxed value part (of fixed size) that manages a boxed heap part.

class bignum {
private:

public:
bignum(int val);
~bignum();
bignum operator +(const bignum &rhs);
...
};
An interesting thing to try with the two-bit mutex is to add exponential back off. I suspect it’ll dramatically improve the latency under contention.

Another interesting thing to point out is that there seems to be a crossover point between when using an array of std::mutex is better vs having an array of these pointer-locks. Imagine you have an array of pointers to objects that you want to lock. With the pointer locks, you’ll have 8 mutexes per cache line, which for small arrays will probably have a high degree of false sharing. With an array of std::mutex, you’d probably pad them out to 64 bytes and there would be no false sharing. But for larger arrays (assuming a uniform distribution of accesses), the probability of false sharing would be low enough that the pointer-mutex would be faster.

The last thing I have to say is that I’ve been reading a lot about memory models lately, and I’ve become terrified of trying to mix TLA+ and non-seq_cst memory orders. Since TLA+ produces a global total order of actions, you still haven’t quite properly model checked your program if you haven’t modeled C++’s memory in your spec. That said, you can probably get away with it most of the time (especially on x86).

Might tiktok be why that one particular kid is depressed? Maybe, nice anecdote bro. But on the otherhand, maybe keeping your kids away from cellphones is going to make them complete outsiders in highschool. We just don't know.

Re the thing at the end -- It sounds like the author is hypothesizing that trans is caused (only caused?) by permissive parenting. Again, wishful thinking. Truth is we really don't have a darn clue, and if people care so much they should set aside their assumptions and support research.
> If there are contracts involved you might be still on the hook for payment but in this case the provider (WSJ) can no longer charge your the card they had on file for you.

What if you get sent to collections by your provider and your credit is dinged as a result? I don’t believe it is a hypothetical question, it is not too unlikely to happen.
So uh... where are the links to the documents? It's Newsweek of all publishers. Every link they have in that article goes to another Newsweek article with a bunch of noise.
I assume the restriction is file system related. It's probably not always cheap to calculate the full size of a directory, especially if it's heavily nested.

Windows will tell you the size of a dir in the right click -> properties menu, but it takes a while to calculate for large/complicated directories.
Identical twin here. In high school, we had a brutal geometry problem set. The only people in the school who got it right were my twin brother and I. Pretty cool.

We were in separate sections; by then, we really didn't like being the same class. I was in the second section and was accused of cheating by the teacher with zero evidence; the correct answers, it was math, were going to be the same. My response was the fuck we did; we were competing against each other. The teacher knew he wasn't going to get past that and changed the subject. But going from only to cheater to next didn't sit well.

As for the article, what is the bitrate of odd movements?

BTW, we may have cheated at one point. 24 Hour Fitness had a less well known half-price for twins membership. Or at least, I think they did.
Everything? It's not close, trucks are very inefficient compared to trains and boats.
Meh, I found it insightful. Some parent get caught in a quagmire of indecision when contrasting what they feel is right with their insecurity around what society deems right. In some cases, that should prompt re-evaluation. But in many, it’s needless paralysis. (The author appears to be railing against that paralysis, not any specific position.)
I'm really surprised that they tried it in the first place. I'm sure governments want it (China would love to see your Winnie the Pooh meme stash), but Apple is pretty good at fighting the US government and should have felt 100% free to say "in the absence of a law that compels us to write software, which is unconstitutional btw, we're not doing it". They have done it many times, so it felt really out of character. There must have been some contract / favor they were going after, and the opportunity must have expired. (I'm sure some large department of the federal government has some shiny new Android phones today.)

It would be interesting to figure out the real story.

My favorite part of the whole saga is that leaked letter that said "the screeching voice of the minority" will kill the project. We did indeed, and I'm happy to screech again the next time the government wants a tool they can use to scan my phone without a search warrant.
I use it the same way - "oh this is interesting and I may want to use this later" presses star button
While I agree with your point, I think the article more accurately describes that they need constraints, rather than discipline.

They need to be told no, to be given chances to understand that their behavior has considerations outside of just how it makes them feel. They need to be exposed to challenges like being bored or any other feeling so they can learn how to self-regulate their emotions when adverse situations present themselves.

Children without constraints seem unlikely to want, or be competent at leaving the safety of their parents protective bubble.

I think it goes without saying that if the small countries near the edge of the world are the only ones participating in free trade, there's not a whole lot of free trade going on. Not to mention the astronomical increase in shipping costs that would occur if the world stops collectively deciding that intercepting container ships is off-limits.
" If Apple has a legal obligation to ensure that iCloud does not store CSAM/etc"

My understanding is in the USA companies like Apple cannot be legally obligated to ensure that iCloud does not store CSAM. Something about the US Constitution, but I can't remember what. Apple is legally obligated to report CSAM if they come across it themselves though.

This appears to be the case in Europe as well. But may not always be that way. The EU appears to be working on legislation that can compel cloud providers to scan for CSAM: https://9to5mac.com/2022/05/11/apples-csam-troubles-may-be-b...

Why is it inevitable? Given the propensity of humans to destroy their own cultures over time (see all extinct civilizations), one could argue that diversity in cultures/nations is the only hope so that at any point in time at least one culture is sensible. Similar to what reinforcement learning or economics tries to achieve by exploration vs exploitation. Globalization is the ultimate exploitation phase, exploration would require many different cultures, often isolated.
> You'd have a hard time verifying that said on-device scanning would only have been run only on iCloud-uploaded content.

That would be precisely as difficult to verify as verifying whether your Apple device is currently scanning your content.

Using IP addresses directly is a bad practice in general, it introduced security risks in many scenarios.

SSL - usually cannot verify the cert, defeating the point of SSL
SMB - windows will fail over to less secure ntlm auth instead of kerberos

If your using IP addresses instead of hostnames to reference machines, you're doing it wrong.

Also IPv6 is easier to remember in general... We have a single large IPv6 allocation (eg 2001:db8::/32), and everything sits under that in a logical layout. For legacy IP, we have several different allocations in different class A blocks (104.x, 66.x, 62.x etc) plus all the RFC1918 space used internally
This is great news for individuals who don’t want companies snooping on their private images and don’t want to get ensnared with legal issues due to false positives. It also ensures a barrier against governments demanding scanning for dissident material and the like.

But let’s not pretend it’s a move that doesn’t come with a cost. Scanning for CSAM by companies does catch a lot of child abusers and result in children being rescued from abuse, and it’s likely that Apple implementing such scanning would have done the same.
Do you have a source for the "not constitutional" bit? I referenced it in a post below and was looking for a source.

I've never played with Java's FFI, but now that we have these "cosmopolitan" native executables that run on all platforms - would it be possible to link one copy of a large native library (ex: OpenCV or Intel MKL) and then not worry or think about platform specifics?

And how does this all play with GraalVM native compilation? Could I still compile a native executables after using this FFI?

Then you could go full circle and get a native exectable that's cosmopolitan ...

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with the article, I'm going to try and see it as analagous to bad leadership / bad management.

Electronic device = Task with no context. Just go and do it and leave me alone.

Long enough of no context in one's work and it leads to anxiety and existential-type questions around their purpose and role in the company or the value of the company itself.

Engagement is what adds value; understanding what motivates each individual to do / be better and work on that. It requires paying attention. It's hard work, it doesn't scale, it's per-individual, but, hey, they're humans, not robots.

Management or Parenting, it's your responsibility to make them better (than you are).

This is a bad take - in some ways falling victim to exactly the kind of "over the top bombastic" thing it accuses media of.

For one thing, Quanta and Nature are not mainstram media. They generally do a pretty decent job of science communication, which is important. (And it's worse pointing out that Ars Techica explained it properly)

So what went wrong here?

I don't know exactly, but Google's own post was a bad start:

"Making a Traversable Wormhole with a Quantum Computer"[1] sure sounds like they "made a traversable wormhole with a quantum computer".

So lets read the leading paragraph:

Wormholes — wrinkles in the fabric of spacetime that connect two disparate locations — may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But whether or not they exist in reality, studying these hypothetical objects could be the key to making concrete the tantalizing link between information and matter that has bedeviled physicists for decades.

Surprisingly, a quantum computer is an ideal platform to investigate this connection. The trick is to use a correspondence called AdS/CFT, which establishes an equivalence between a theory that describes gravity and spacetime (and wormholes) in a fictional world with a special geometry (AdS) to a quantum theory that does not contain gravity at all (CFT).

In “Traversable wormhole dynamics on a quantum processor”, published in Nature today, we report on a collaboration with researchers at Caltech, Harvard, MIT, and Fermilab to simulate the CFT on the Google Sycamore processor. By studying this quantum theory on the processor, we are able to leverage the AdS/CFT correspondence to probe the dynamics of a quantum system equivalent to a wormhole in a model of gravity. The Google Sycamore processor is among the first to have the fidelity needed to carry out this experiment.

No, nothing pointing out this was a simulation there either!

So I think Google and the research team needs to take some responsibility here. Their writing at least invited the miscommunication.

> a quietly occupied child is the goal of a positive parental experience

Being quietly occupied is great for a child if they are productively engaged -- i.e. they felt bored but then decided to do something productive about it. With a few guardrails, boredom in otherwise well-adjusted kids is a superpower.

My daughter (11) has been producing a family newspaper. She was complaining of being bored, so I gave her an old 2011 MacBook Pro with lots of preinstalled apps and no Internet access.
I've not seen this in practice.

You need some numeric accident involving a higher power operator like exponentiation.

In TXR Lisp I made exponentiation n-ary: you can do (expt x y z ...).

The associativity is right to left: it means

...
z
y
x

rather than the less useful cumulative exponentiation of the same base:

yz...
x

which can easily be obtained as (expt x (* y z ..)).

So, anyway, if you apply expt to small list of small operands, you can cons up a big number in rather a hurry.

If it is important to prevent a problem like this, a limit can be imposed on bignums (say, large enough for common cryptography to still work).
I agree with you and also think you're being uncharitable to the author's allegedly narrow-minded pov. I agree there's another side to all this but that's not necessarily discounted by the author's criticisms. We all know the reason not every new building can be the duomo di milano is because money. It's still arguably unnecessarily ugly and the money thing and all its 21st century quirks does indeed become a relentless drag on day to day life no matter how good you are at ignoring it or embracing irony.

How would this work with an IDE? As part of a debugger in the IDE? Isn’t it nice that you could throw an Error with this stuff?? I don’t write Java but I do end up writing pretty printers whenever I work on a project with interesting binary data zooming around between memory, network, and disk, and it’s cool that this framework builds it in. I would love if all languages had a pretty printer this nice for their struct types.
Personally, I wouldn't say Iowa farmers run the world. We have systems, eg. the USDA, EPA, etc. that are supposed to protect against long-term damage. They just might not be doing enough in many cases.

This is about a lot more than ideology. People want food, and it's a whole lot harder to produce the quantities people need using better long-term farming practices. Hopefully, that changes.
> What makes you think that companies would have been willing to make the effort to deploy "IPv4+" any more than IPv6?

The hallmark of a good IPv4+ solution is that it autodeploys without anyone at the network configuration and administration level having to think too much about it. IPv6+IPv4 by contrast generally doubles the configuration complexity of more things than you can count.

It is true that for IPv4+ to be successful nearly everyone currently using IPv4 would need some sort of behind the scenes upgrade to be IPv4+ compatible first before the extended address space would be portable. And that includes incremental upgrades of just about everything that touches IPv4 or IPv4 compatible addresses.

> I think the USA is becoming more protectionist, but that doesn’t mean that free trade agreements amongst the rest of the world stop. In 2008 New Zealand signed a free trade agreement with China.

Knowing full well the scale of China's pollution (not just carbon), emvironmental destruction, human rights abuses, labor exploitation, militarization and annexation of regions like Tibet and Inner Mongolia, further expansionist aims in the South China Sea and Taiwan, intellectual property theft and currency manipulation, attacks on activists in western countries, and general brutal totalitarian government.

And it's the same story in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, etc. Worse in many cases because of the wars and interventions from western countries.

This is why people are sick of globalism and sick of hypocritical corrupt western governments and their preaching and lies.

Globalism has just become synonymous with the ruling class shirking responsibility and making themselves unanswerable to the people. High time for a change I think.
globalization is a spectrum.

Many of the biggest nations today are bigger than the entire known world in the past.

It is thus possible to "stop" and put a boundary over the world and yet achieve almost all the benefits of "globalization" if your country has 300M people and spans the width of a continent.
I totally agree with you, but I put part of the blame on the journalists here. They've made it sound as if the problem is merely whether the building is being used as intended, rather than whether the building is being used as agreed - and they've failed to point out that zoning (and, I guess, taxation) would potentially be completely undermined if the regulators allowed companies to break agreements on how buildings are used.
> if you do it often enough it becomes very Matrix like, “blonde, brunette” but with ip packets and C structs

At one job I used to spend a lot of time looking at crash dumps from a game, and at some point I was able to pretty reliably identify various objects in the engine (models, textures, physics volumes..etc) just from how they looked in a hex view of the crash dumps.

If its a system you're familiar with enough, it really is Matrix-like as you say.
