>It could be the case for the majority of preteens.
Kids are able to understand at an early age the difference between (some) fantasy and reality.[1][2]

>For some porn it's very obvious and for some porn it's not.

There is no way to properly distinguish between "fantasy" and "reality" porn and only restrict some porn. Unless you are going to mandate porn sites manually review every video and properly tag them.

I also think there are other issues, like many young children not even knowing what sex is when they first view porn. I'm not sure how much you can distinguish between the two when you don't even know what you are looking at.

>I think it's certainly better if parents decide what their kids are ready for and if the kids have the resources to help answer questions (my sex ed teacher was actually really good for this).

I don't believe the average parent has the capability of blocking porn if their children are not ready. If we are going to go for the parents should deal with it route, then we need something that the parent can just check a box on. As far as I know, most ISPs don't provide this functionality which leaves parents in a situation they don't know how to solve.

This assumes that parents know that this is a problem. Many parents don't realize that young kids so often access porn. The only way this could work is if the default is to block porn and you would have to request access from your ISP. Given the reaction when the UK did the same thing, I'm not sure it would be practical to do here.

>Would most preteens even be interested in porn without hormonal ex drive? Sort of like how they see people kissing and still think it's "gross".

>I know I had access to the internet fairly early, and it was hard to not accidentally stumble onto porn through searching, but I didn't start consuming porn until after I was actually a teenager.

Many kids view porn before puberty and not just a one time sort of thing so I don't think hormonal drive is causing it for many kids.
Not quite.

sure but the sun is going down at 3pm, canada gets 1.5 hours of peak sunlight at best in the winter… on a lot of houses the cost of removing the snow is more than what’s gained during the short daily window of direct sunlight… eventually the sun solves the problem for free :)
Yes this.

> We must all share your values or perish?

Japan is perishing because of the values it currently has. Pseudo-feudal society that imitates the samurai-ruled commoners who must sacrifice their lives for one zaibatsu or the other, never-ending work in which they must karoshi themselves out for the 'ganbare' principle, extreme xenophobia that even afflicts Japanese that move from one region to another, leave aside immigrants.

You definitely don't have to share his values. His values may not even be suitable for you. But you definitely must stop having the current values that you have since they are literally eradicating your society in an a case that has not been ever seen in modern age before.

Damn, solar panels are expensive in the USA...

In Australia a 6.6kw system with 5kw inverter runs about 3500-4500AUD installed and grid connected.

The rebates in WA are fairly low for exported power (about 5c/kwh) but you can fully offset your usage during the sunny parts of the day running aircon/washing machine.

That's...not a lot of power. O_o Is it common to get that little amount of power?

I have 200 amps going to my house, but the master breaker on my panel is 160 amps. My car charger alone is 48 amps. When I had an electric stove, that was on a 40 amp breaker.

My traditional heat pump (using R744) claims to produce about ~37dB, and while I have not measured it I can say I would not be able to hear it over a light breeze while standing right next to the thing, let alone inside the house with a wall in the way.

> the benefits are not as great as I think

It's this one.

You're probably thinking of an electrical insulator solely as a material with low conductivity. Vacuum, air, glass (SiO2) (which is the default insulator in chip manufacturing), and many other insulators all have such negligibly small conductivity it doesn't matter here.

But all insulators have a second relevant property: their permittivity (quantified by a number called the material's "dielectric constant". When this is relevant, people often call the insulator a "dielectric"). When an insulator is between two conductors at different voltages, it forms a capacitor. In wiring this is typically undesired because the capacitor takes energy whenever the conductor voltages change.

In fact, the capacitance of the gate insulator in transistors is what causes most heat dissipation in CPUs! (Which, of course, is a big limit to scaling transistor density right now.) Unfortunately, this is fundamental to how transistors work.

Anyway, for wiring you want the capacitance formed by the insulator to be as small as possible, which you do by choosing a material with the smallest dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of SiO2 glass is about 4 times greater than both air and vacuum, which are about equally good.

But keeping a vacuum in a sealed area on a chip is occasionally used for MEMS devices like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and resonators, which would be slowed down mechanically by air pressure.
My position is to not do these things as we cannot know the repercussions and we don't have a great track record.

Your position is to try to simulate a volcano to cool the Earth and "let's just see how it goes".

Ignoring the fact if we do that, then a natural volcano could go off as well and set us over the edge, causing an ice age.

Sure you can hand wave away the repercussions pointing to a movie, but it's still your stupid suggestion.

And what retarded logic that is, just because Armageddon is a movie doesn't mean asteroids aren't a threat.
That is not what I wrote. I wrote that the NY State courts made literal millions of these internal documents public. The community as a whole has had collectively more than a year to pore over them, with billions of dollars of risk including from major real hedge funds.

I did not say that these are "standard financial disclosures". I said that they were forced by the courts to reveal all this documentation and that so far, Tether has for the most part maintained its peg.

This should indicate to you that everyone from Wall St to Main St thinks that Tether is doing things "well enough".

Tether has issued multiple audit reports by independent accountants, and sure- they may be suspect but the way in which they are suspect is the same way every other company's financial are suspect - which, last I checked, didn't stop Lehman Bros.
Oh, I was more asking about the (potential) advantage of not using Treesitter.

I’ve used the incremental parsing from Treesitter in Neovim (though not on any absolutely massive codebases) and found it to be great (when it worked). But I suspect this is immaturity in the ecosystem (one of the Neovim implementation, the parser definition or Treesitter itself).
There are easy solutions available right now but they cost money. I don't want to assume you are the same but often people that use key phrases like "myth of global overpopulation" and "abortion on demand" are STRONGLY against any of those solutions.

The largest factor encouraging people not to have children (preventatively or abortively) is money. Taking time off work is akin to dropping down below poverty level and childcare sometimes makes working a net negative financially. Housing, healthcare, schooling... it all traces back to money. Legally you're supposed to have your position at work protected but in most states you have to burn your vacation time and in practice you're penalized for being out (enforcement requires you sue your employer which is not easy and makes finding future employment difficult as the lawsuit shows up on "background" checks marking you as a "problem".)

Free universal childcare, free universal child healthcare, legally-mandated accommodations with government enforcement for childbirth (including both work and schooling) would massively change the equation for many people who currently choose not to have kids. This must be accompanied by programs to train people to operate daycare centers, graduate more pediatricians, and so on.

I also need to clarify: I don't mean "means-tested" programs like Medicaid where taking a job disqualifies you from the program or a childcare program where means-testing excludes most people. Or "welfare" programs that require you file 12 TPS forms every 2 months or they kick you out. I mean low-hassle automatic "proof of citizenship or legal residency = automatically approved, no questions asked".

And by "legal accommodations" I mean any student wanting to give birth gets an automatic 5 year sabbatical with no penalties from high school, university, grants, post-doc programs, residency programs, etc. The government must handle the reporting, auditing, and enforcement so it doesn't become a "legally yeah but in practice no" like we have today.

If those solutions seem complicated the simpler route is a large increase in wages plus import controls/taxes or other measures to penalize offshoring to avoid pro-family wages. Most people don't make enough that even a 100% refundable tax credit would make up the gap but it might help.

In any case these are all large interventions with costs. People are often reluctant to pay those costs (in taxes or higher prices for goods).

I'll admit using government to restrict personal freedom (banning contraceptives/abortion, banning proper sex education, etc) is definitely cheaper, though I find that morally objectionable. In practice it isn't all that effective either.

edit: having a developed economy is technically the primary driver of lower birth rates but only up to a point (5-8 down to 2-3). When people feel financially secure and secure in their career they tend to average out to replacement rate (give or take). The calculus for a subsistence farmer is quite different from anyone likely reading HN.

Lenny Baum, Lloyd Welch, and their colleagues at IDA were using the EM algorithm for code cracking well before they were able to prove anything about its convergence.

EM worked in practice, so they spent a long time trying to prove convergence. Modern proofs are simpler.

Could be the case that this method also works in practice. I haven't the faintest idea whether it will.

On mobile, so I can’t properly view/appreciate the detail-shots, but this is exactly the kind of post I’ve been waiting to see written covering the Quest Pro.

I tried the Quest 2 last year mostly out of curiosity for the use cases that Meta themselves would go on to push as the primary focuses of the Quest Pro; VR productivity and virtual monitors. I was left drastically underwhelmed at the time with the resolution and viewing experience from the Quest 2 (among other things), and after hearing that the Pro wouldn’t have much of an upgrade in that department I was really curious what actual productivity focused power users would think of it.

This blog/series of posts looks to be just that, and I’ve added it to my feed reader for the rest of the series!

I found debugging setup errors on fly to be incredibly frustrating

You can't even ssh until the container started and they have some requirements on hostnames (0.0.0.0)

At least a few of their examples are broken.

The documentation could be better but it's pretty good

Is it better than Aws? Yes of course, you need to spend way more to get a dx as bad as Aws.

Setting up a VPS is a smoother experience than fly, though.

Once it's running, it's lovely and reminds me of heroku.
Ask HN: What are the skills/tools should a Math researcher learn?
A 28 years old research scholar from India. I did undergraduate and masters majoring in math and currently doing PhD in math focusing on cyber security applications. I do have basic programming knowledge in python but not up to the level of someone from computer background.

I am currently working on authentication protocols for wireless applications and i have publication in reputed journals.

As I am about to complete my PhD in a year, I am more inclined towards landing a research oriented job in industry rather than academic roles. Primary reason being better compensation and more flexibility (please correct me if I am wrong about the assumptions). I do not know where my skillset will be useful and as I am from math background, I lack knowledge of someone who is from CS.

I would like to ask people of HN to help me with the following.

1. Considering my the path I have taken, which jobs / roles will be more or less suitable for me?
2. Which type of companies require my skillset?
3. What are the additional skills and tools I need to learn so that i could land a good job?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same question as OP and you seem to have misinterpreted the question. Specifically this article is about showing a meaningful reduction in the Quantum bits required for Shor's algorithm by pairing it with lattice reduction (whatever that means). Does this approach of combining classical lattice reduction technique + quantum Shor's hold for elliptic curves? Are there any other problems beside cracking crypto algorithms that this technique could be applied to that might actually be useful vs just a more complicated attack vector?
