Can you cite those experts? I am genuinely asking because the research I've seen is mostly mixed and inconclusive but does lean more towards what OP is saying.

There are tons of articles that say screen time is bad, social media is bad, etc etc... and I suppose you can always find some expert to support those claims, but in terms of actual scientific research, actual experiments, the fear of social media and Internet addiction in general has no more basis today than addiction to TV or video games or even music had in the past, and yes, "experts" in the past went after music as well claiming that it corrupted young kids minds.

you wouldn't let a three-year-old walk across a busy street by himself. the reason why is, he's not capable of handling that yet. same for lots of other things, too.
Sound like the solution is incredibly straightforward.

Spin "the other bets" out as a separate company.

Capitalize it separately.

Literally just don't have it as part of the parent company.

The only advantage of having the company inside the "parent" increasingly becomes accounting tricks.

Concealing excess profits via shuffling them to the "other bet" is the biggest trick of them all.

All publicly listed companies actively hide profits from shareholders.

Who might want the capital as a dividend.
> Fukushima by the way, despite repeatedly ignoring warnings of the risks of not being prepared for realistic tsunamis and earthquakes it might experience, survived relatively well all things considered.

Yes most nuclear incidents involved risks being ignored. But I don't see how this is an argument for nuclear. This will keep happening as long as we have this stuff built and operated by the lowest bidder bound to make as much profit as they can.
There are many avenues to transact moneys. Crypto is one of them. It has a handful of really good use cases. I agree that there are often (usually?) better ways, but cryptographic blockchains that house value to the tune of billions of USD and never goes down or breaks is quite powerful and should be respected as such rather than being seen as purely inferior.

TikTok’s algorithm in China promotes more “socially positive” content than in the west. For example, you don’t see “steal a car” challenges go viral there.
With those big companies, commonly there simply isn't a productive way to walk the line.

No. It has MIPI DSI, but I'd be surprised if you could clock it very fast across these board layouts.

The very similar Allwinner D1 can push HDMI though. It's got the same main core (T-Head c906) and is about the same price point. That SoC doesn't have the nice wireless interfaces builtin though.

I asked it to critique a function I had written. It was able to point out some edge cases I hadn't considered. It even recognized that I was using ANSI escape codes to colour some text red and suggested a couple of libraries to handle that for me.
It could also be invested and pay for decades of electricity.
This post would be more compelling if you multiplied those numbers out yourself to prove that a human can do it. I myself don't feel comfortable to multiply those numbers. I'd say your definition of reasoning excludes most humans, who would simply respond to such a prompt with "nope, can't do it".
> that retroactively screws over everyone

That's when you go on to mandate that all newly-built homes include solar.
I think it’s this?

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/twitter-strikes-de...
Coal loves nukes. They know coal is doomed, but each nuke plant start is a guaranteed 10-20 year continuance of the coal contract.

The cost of that amount of coal would build enough solar to cover for the prospective nuke. Not then building the nuke frees up enough money to construct that much solar several times over.

An important reason for the gangbusting success of solar and wind is that they build incrementally. Build some, and it starts producing immediately. Build more, get more, in a virtuous cycle. There is precious little room for graft, because anybody can cost it on a napkin: N turbines x $per, M square meters of panel x $per. Nukes, meanwhile, leave unlimited room for graft: nobody knows how much anything ought to cost, and actually finishing the job means cutting off everybody's gravy train. There is really no fixing this: nukes are well established as an unlimited graft pipeline.
Didn't Snowden show us, that there already is warrantless mass surveillance as soon as you use the internet?

Someone as visionary as TBL surely saw the problems with centralization very early on, even before the WWW started gaining traction.

His original goals for the HyperText project[1] involved two phases. The first to build web browsers, and the second to make it easy for users to publish content. This second phase was never completed, AFAIK.

We've had many attempts over the years to address this, but by the time tech silos and web giants were getting established, and advertising starting to corrupt the user experience—mid to late 90s—it was already too late. Millions of people were getting online, and the understanding that the web works by services being provided, often for "free", by large tech companies, was being ingrained in popular culture.

Reversing that notion once the web had matured, and people had become used to giving away their data and personal information to companies, became more difficult as time went on.

As much as privacy conscious nerds will applaud this effort to take the power back to users, I think it's too little, too late, for it to gain any real mainstream adoption. It would have to be done with a reboot of the current web, or a separate network altogether; not this web3 nonsense. The likelihood of either succeeding is very low.

I don't want to sound pessimistic, and genuinely hope I'm wrong about this, for the good of all of us, but I am a bit _miffed_, to put it lightly, that none of these tech visionaries saw these problems early on and tried to fix them when it was possible, and that we ended up with a corrupted version of what the web was supposed to be.

> Anyone who has been in a tech company knows that there is internal lingo that refers to features we devs make. But it's presented as being an "Orwellian language"

The fact that you need different internal descriptors should be a red flag. All kinds of phrases get used like selective invisibility, visibility filtering, ranking, visible to self, reducing, deboosting, or disguising a gag. Each is a form of censorship, but that's a bad word since the days of Anthony Comstock so it is never used. Censors never describe themselves as censors. See the book "The Mind of the Censor",

There is literally zero functionality in bitcoin that states one gets richer from getting more people in. That's called supply and demand. I'm a big fan of crypto but I also see these huge peaks and valleys in valuation as a sign that it is treated as a get-rich-quick scheme by many, but bitcoin exists as a means of transacting value outside of state-owned currency. It's pretty rad, but unhinged speculation paints it as a casino. 40x valuations of the next photo sharing app is speculative and outright bullshit too but we don't say photo sharing is an MLM.

Yep and what's worse is no parent is going to ever admit that they gave their child unlimited screen time and now their child is addicted. Anecdotes that exhibit this kind of asymmetry are effectively worthless.
Facebook is one player in a large ecosystem of workers and companies, in which things like lunch and nice offices and health insurance are simply table stakes, and total compensation levels are broadly comparable. Until recently, Facebook did pay at the upper end of that spectrum, which was some combination of their stock doing well and people souring on social media as a force for good in the world. Certainly relative to peak social media excitement ca. 2006, working there is now considered going off to be a cog in a vaguely evil faceless machine; they couldn’t get away with lowballing people the way SpaceX or even Google can.

Hedonic adaptation is real. You compare yourself to your peer group, in which there’s always people living larger than you, stocks appreciated more than yours, bought their house earlier than you, higher earning spouse than yours (or any spouse at all if you’re single), generational wealth from China, etc. And homeownership in the Bay Area is such an insatiable black hole that this kind of money merely puts you in the running. You’ll never be, like, unable to repair a household appliance - which is better than many people! - but neither are you just waltzing through life milestones in the way people think when they see these figures. You’re mostly a pass-through vehicle from your company to local property owners.

Some companies are more top down and some companies are more entrepreneurial. Amazon is famous for assigning just the right amount of work to break you before your stock vests. Apple has rigid and precise opinions about what it wants built, with engineers discouraged from scratching their own itches. Facebook on the other hand is all about initiative, with engineers being almost like Wall Street traders: come up with ideas and implement them on your own, and in your performance review we’ll check the numbers to see whether you made us money or not. Like trading, you might have a good hypothesis that just didn’t pan out, or something else outside your control might have shifted, but that’s not going to save you. You have to be right. It’s stressful! But one thing that happens in places run this way is a pretty strong social norm against trying to stop anything before it happens. If someone wants to run an AB test, however stupid it seems, they get to run it, and you have to trust in the data (and data analysis) to reveal whether it was really a good idea or not.
> There are a large number of people who would never want to have a private conversation or meeting using Facebook infrastructure

Have you ever heard of Whatsapp? More than a billion people use it for private communication daily. Maybe not in the US, but elsewhere on the planet. You know who owns Whatsapp? Meta does.
> For one, the fictional assumed income is based on the type of asset

It isn't. Under the current systen they make bo distinction, they just look at total worth per the market value. They treat 200k in savings the same as 200k in stocks.

I have ADHD and have found Slack to be a massive distraction. I haven't fully solved the issue, but explaining to your manager 'look, I can't always be available on Slack, I need to block time off in my calendar where I have Slack closed' - to any reasonable manager, that should be absolutely fine. Set your status to something like 'distraction free mode' and just close it for a few hours.

You might feel a sense of separation anxiety doing this initially, but you get used to it, especially when you realise you're almost never missing anything important by doing this. Start small perhaps, block off an hour a day for a week, then next week block off two hour periods. Eventually, try to block off certain mornings or afternoons. Try to keep the times you do this consistent so other folks in your team know/expect it. Just be honest about it and step away from it, if they're a decent place to work, they'll understand and encourage it. If they don't and expect you to be 100% available all the time, then they're both ridiculous and not a good place for folks who are neurodivergent, which is a bit of a red flag

Model retraining is very transparent and a very straightforward way to redirect it.

The core problem is that the analogies just don't hold up.

Artificial Intelligence is not a problem that can be resolved via analogies and heuristics.

Because artificial intelligence simply looks nothing like what our human heuristics imagine it to be.

It can only be solved by understanding the actual, genuine detail.
elting it down doesn't make it less radioactive. It's still a significant health hazard to work with, making new construction with the remolded materials prohibitively expensive.
Now that it follows stonks and other traditional investments makes crypto less interesting to me, but that's just my gambling side. Its intrinsic value is that it is an avenue of transacting value outside of the reach of the exact governments and their policies (see: 2008) that caused Satoshi to create it in the first place. And Tether is a joke.
Occasionally accidentally burning half the state is an expensive habit, it turns out.
I've been through many companies (and many iterations of the process in each of those companies) but have never experienced a case where this takes only an hour annually. Even as an IC you're going to be spending at least half a day on your own self-review. This doesn't even include peer reviews, upward feedback, or talking about the results of this whole process with your manager. In my experience, the process also doesn't just happen a single time per year -- it's usually twice (plus 'check-ins' outside of that).

I'm no fan of perf reviews but I have no idea how you could even run a process at all if you were to only give people 1 hour to do the whole thing end-to-end.
Not his finest moment for sure, but it was proportionally retaliatory in context.
Terrence Tao is just another human, who had a lot of investment at a young age from world renowned mathematicians. The guy also isn't a huge fan of "genius"-type hype around his work.

When I first learned how HIV (and retroviruses) worked, it was the same level of amazement. Like "it splices its own genes into your cells' DNA, and when your cells reproduce, they additionally make copies of the HIV virus" is just something that I would have never thought was real.

I think folks like myself, who became an "amateur epidemiologist" during covid (out of necessity, because of the information vacuum) were shocked to learn all these amazing things we weren't ever told. As an aside, the same is true for everyone who is now an "amateur diplomat" post-invasion and read about realism etc. and well-understood and reasonable explanations for "why the U.S. is always at war" that make it seem so logical. Crazy to think there are so many other fields keeping amazing secrets like this.

Nature is fucking terrifying. Every time I see some zoo program on the telly where "oh we're rehabilitating these endangered rabbits and then we'll release 'em back into the wild where they'll be free and happy". Not sure that's how the rabbits feel about it.

If I were a rabbit in one of these programs I'd feign a limp, hide in the corner, anything I could to avoid being cat or wolf fodder, or getting one of the dozens of tortuous diseases and parasites that infect rabbits in the wild.
A very good point.

People trivialize the progress in this progression, because it's normalized. And yet, the incredible progress in the last 5-10 years is absolutely stunning.

Compared to the other "recognized professions," the progress in how software is developed is beyond stunning. The actual practice of law/medicine/etcetera is remarkably static.

Regardless, to most, "what we have now is never enough."
I apply this the reverse way too. Is this message I am sending important enough that I would call them to tell or ask the same thing?
It's only stunning because programmers view him as a god, when in reality, he is a just a fallible human being. Just goes to show even programmers are susceptible to idolism.

The signs were all there. He entered a den where he doesn't hold founder status anymore, and that the value of his contributions to the company does not hold as much weight.

> low-end broadcast (HoW and legislative mostly)

I like how the original comment was kind of slagging HoW and legislative to the lower realms of quality. For the most part, that's going to be true, but there's definitely edge cases. I run in weird circles having grown up in HoW production and moving into cinematic production. One of the megachurches in town is one of Sony's flagship install locations. They always have the top end equipment that even some production houses can't get yet. The amount of money that flows through these places is flabbergasting. Their control rooms are better equipped than some of the live sports trucks I've been in. The only thing they are missing is the crew of slo-mo operators. They have a couple of seats for shaders, they have chyron ops, they have technical director, director, multiple sound boards (one for record, one for stage, one for broadcast), and just an incredible amount of gear overall. Yes, this is said from a state of jelly.
> mostly informative and almost completely anti-entertaining

I don’t agreee with this. I love Lex Fridman podcasts and watched almost all episodes, and most of the times I watch it for entertainment. There is some surface level information in few episodes, but that doesn’t seem to be the norm.
Ironically this information is broadcast for safety, but it is deanonymised because he is specifically using a private ICAO.
He was wholey un-corporate. So refreshing and real.

Really shows what that brings to a corporate shitshow that is Meta.

Try spending sessions on Slack, such as every hour you will spend 40 minutes on Slack, but split into 13-15 minutes each.
To deal with my ADHD, I set almost all notifications off. For messaging, checking a few times a day may be sufficient, depending on your situation. The old Dr. Pepper bottles had 10-2-4 on them. That might be good times to check, if you work a standard schedule. To keep myself focused, I use a Pomodoro timer and work in 25 minute segments with 5 minute breaks between most and a longer one every so often (15 minute), if I am left alone and undisturbed for that long. To avoid being disturbed, I regularly block out calendar time in the mornings when my energy is better for Cal Newport style Deep Work. Hope this helps — best wishes!
While LE probably has legitimate reason to have contacts in every major company SV company, its still chilling to see how friendly and obedient Twitter was, makes you wonder what other social media companies are doing with the government, and how they respond to "suggestions".

Earlier this year I packed up a lot of my computer gear and stored in at the in-laws house, because we were putting our house on the market and this got us ahead on moving into a new place. Then the housing market tanked, my stuff including a Quest 2 is still sitting there, many months later, and I'll maybe be able to get back to it now mid next year.

I'm learning from you here now that I'm gonna lose all the paid content I have on my account?
