> Deleting your social media presence is a strident, overt act.. signaling a type of desperation, IMO. If you really want exert an level of control (or perhaps a more humble 'f you'), stop looking their dumb, time-wasting pictures and posts.

I dunno. There’s lots of good reasons I think. You wouldn’t criticize a cigarette smoker for not keeping a pack around just in case. You wouldn’t think it’s weird if someone gave away a shirt they don’t like. You don’t keep a bank account open after you’re done using it. All of this is just a form of life maintenance that provides closure so you don’t have to think about it anymore.

Just because Facebook is ubiquitous doesn’t mean it has a right to exist in someone’s life. And since there is plenty of reason to believe that it may be more detrimental than good for a lot of people, account deletion should be normalized.

Absolutely nothing and I advocate and push for them wherever possible.

But I mentioned them for the usually very vocal crowd on HN (and others) that dominate any JS orientated conversation by pissing and crying that build tools exist.

Apparently, to this crowd, the act of compiling code is perfectly OK everywhere else but a travesty to need or want to do any of that for software that runs in a browser. Weird.

I just want to point out that the account you're replying to isn't the OP.
We get more intake of radiation from the burning of coal than we do from nuclear power stations. Coal burning causes far more cancer than nuclear reactors have done not to mention the immense damage of all the pollution in the air damaging lungs causing asthma and other respiratory conditions. The public isn't assessing the relative risks rationally.

The article's example of using std::optional doesn't seem very realistic, so its counts of copies don't feel compelling at all. Their code is causing almost all of them.

They also didn't confirm with a compiler which will actually be copies or what can be elided (either automatically or manually/by better use of types), making it even less compelling.
On the surface, it's of course "fair" that compensation be tied to performance.

The problem is that we're talking about an ASTRONOMICAL sum of money when it comes to people like Tim Cook. After the 50% pay cut, he's still making $49 million. Beyond a certain level of wealth, the numerical value of one's compensation becomes effectively meaningless. It's just theater for him to say he's taking a "pay cut".

Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics such as Cipro are often given to animals because they are cheap. They are in no way at all safe for people or animals.
Sadly as the parent article shows, the FDA doesn't care.

The book:
"Taking On Big Pharma: Dr. Charles Bennett's Battle" was released this week.

I was asked to go with Dr Bennett to speak to members of Congress about the dangers of Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics. As these were a significant contributor to my late wife's suicide. Alas that was right as the world changed at the start of the pandemic and derailed those plans.

I have the many FDA warning for Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics here:

People just don't expect side effects like permanent psychoses to come from their antibiotics, as one of the most recent FDA warnings documents.

I also deleted all of my social media several years ago (except LinkedIn in case I need to find a job) to enormous personal benefit. Most people don't care when I bring it up. When I lived in suburbia, however, it was a different story. For every person that was interested or congratulatory when I told them I encountered five that were defensive about it and chose to frame it as some type of personal failing akin to alcoholism - "well I'm sorry that _you_ can't use it responsibly, but I can!".

I've no idea why this is and have more important things to do with my time then try to explain or rationalize this phenomenon but it was definitely a thing.

Hands are a very underappreciated part of human (individual & collective) intelligence. Evolution can't select for creative intelligence if there is no outlet for that creativity in the first place. Dolphins are probably much closer to human intelligence than we realize, but they have nothing to show for it because they're blubber torpedos with mouths.

So I take a 10k loan out for 10 years for solar panels on my roof paying 12k in total, reducing my electric payments by 1500 a year.

You think it's better to not. OK.
Reducing population is not a workable idea.

The people saying it may not think they're calling for gas chambers. But thats just because they are ignorant.

If you want to do the sums, just assume no one is ever born ever again and plot out the population for the next 100 years. Note that half the planet's population is under the mean age of 30. Life expectancy is above 80 if you exclude death in childbirth (which we just abolished in this thought experiment).

Unless you actively start killing people it's not going down fast enough to make any difference in the timescale we have for climate change.

And if you do want to start killing people, you'd get the most bang per buck by starting in America, then other rich Western nations. So I'd be very careful about putting this meme out there in case you find yourself on the wrong end of it.
In some countries unflued has heaters are common, which do cause indoor air quality issues. Furnaces that vent the exhaust just cause air quality issues outside, not inside.

But the article is about gas stoves, which do release significant NOx output into the house, which domestic rangehoods are generally not very effective in removing quickly enough.
>This sentence is out of nowhere, did ChatGPT write this article? How could someone think something so new is suddenly negatively impacting students across the board.

Ironically if it were impacting learning I think it would be specifically if ChatGPT was NOT being used across the board, but by only a subset of students. So some kids doing assignments the hard way while others have the equivalent of a calculator/secretary/genii.

But if every student has the same GPT access then the class can simply raise the expectations for the quality of the student work across the board and it's cool again.

Always loved Admin tools provided by modern frameworks, like Sonata-Admin for Symfony or Django-admin.

But still can't find a generic Admin generator/Crud tool for standard REST APIs or GraphQL

Even Retool/Budibase force you to build countless connectors/queries for each resource.

I'd pay $$$ for something that could parse my Graphql API SDL and generate an admin UI for me!
Alpine is great. I've been using it in production since 2020, and I've never had any complaints. I like that it embraces JS instead of pretending that JS doesn't exist, like other microframeworks do. (I'm thinking of Stimulus and HTMX specifically.) Alpine's job is simple: it adds encapsulation and reactivity around JS. Other than that, it's more or less vanilla JS, and you can use it the same way you'd do things if you were doing document.querySelector yourself.
Canva’s Live Database Migration: From MySQL to DynamoDB
Very little informational content in this article. 90% of it is structured around building up the case that "Exxon knew exactly how much warming would occur" but there is very little information about the models themselves that appear to be the key piece of evidence. The one sentence that does mention them says "From 63% to 83% of those projections fit strict standards for accuracy and generally predicted correctly that the globe would warm about .36 degree (.2 degree Celsius) a decade." So we have an uncertain number of projections that match the outcome to within whatever amount of error "strict standards for accuracy" means. If the number is on the low end of 63% and the error is loosey-goosey then I can see why Exxon would say that their models may not be reliable since they would be getting 37% of their predictions wrong and some amount of the "correct" predictions would be off as well. People love to talk about broken clocks, I think we should be talking about broken models.
Almost certainly negatively. Why learn or put in effort into written text prompts when examiners can be easily fooled with machine generated prose? Those that lack discipline, self-control, and have no desire to learn will eliminate themselves.
> (because most of the time, there literally isn't any written code that calls them).

RAII code wont be invoked unless you literally declare an object in the function.

You might as well complain that C implicitly reserves space on the stack for variables despite the fact that you did not explicitly call alloca to do it.
The evidence does not seem to follow this logic.

There are lots of countries closer to the equator - they are wetter.. large body masses have continental clima, which enocourages the growth of dessert, but they usually do so only when the war of forrest vs savannah is lost by the forrest. Which can cling to areas quiet defiantly, for example the last big forrests in syria, that once covered the middle east

Near the end I think future civilizations communicate via dimensional membranes or some magic-technology like that, but it doesn't reveals your position either.
Cumulative damage may be very small now, at the beginning of this age, but educators I talk to certainly are having a reckoning about it. Whether this will ultimately be bad for education is an open question, but with the way many classes and homework are designed now, students using ChatGPT to answer questions certainly do learn less.
I mostly agree. However:

> You could invest that money in healthcare like breast cancer screening and get a much better return once you've done some basic cleanup of the most dangerous spots.

(Breast) cancer screening doesn't actually work all that well.

Eg the US does a lot more colon cancer screening than the UK, and thus can claim that survival rates for colon cancer are much better in the US. However, if you look at how many people per million die from colon cancer each year, the rates in UK and US are almost the same.

Ie American screening discovers a lot more cancers that never become a problem, but doesn't actually help in aggregate.
That is a different use of the word theory, and serves as an excellent example of why the problem of communicating complex ideas so unambiguously as to eliminate the need for interpretation is so intractable.

"Many pieces are now just regurgitating twitter posts anyway"

What is funny is that this is exactly that and to make things worse, this article from gizmodo is just regurgitating an article from https://futurism.com/the-byte/cnet-publishing-articles-by-ai that is regurgitating a twitter thread which is more informative because it includes information on how the person found it in the first place https://twitter.com/GaelBreton/status/1613110185995771905

Anything that is injection moulded (basically all plastic) can only have 1/3 of its pellets from recycled sources and it then can't be recycled again. At the very best assuming the industries claims of recycling were actually met (which they aren't) at most you would get 1.33x uses out of a piece of plastic, that is it. Its not recycleable, its almost just one use.

I personally don't think there are too many issues with clean and reuse and indeed a lot of the shapes are standard and if we forced more standards we could probably reuse plastic 10+ times and vastly decrease our need for new plastic. That would require companies to make a cycle for their packaging however and they are really don't want to and so far no government has thought it might be a good idea to force them to.
If it's much cheaper than other land, I would consider.

And yet millions of people do it every day, so it's not too much effort. The difference is we reach out to those that we have more than a superficial connection to. If we develop real relationships. they won't rely solely on low effort communication.

Wasn't there a recent court decision* that explicitly ruled scraping to be legal?

In any case, anti-scraping feels like a form of DRM - a company wants to make some data effectively public (in this case requiring only a free account), but retain control of how we consume it (and monitor us as we consume it). I simply do not believe claims they do this for our benefit or privacy, especially coming from a surveillance powerhouse such as Facebook.

If you're looking for portability with ergonomics I've been very interested in following Ben Vallack's advice in this video https://invidious.weblibre.org/watch?v=iOupyi-lQZM, which is to take a small keyboard like the gergoplex[0] and strap it to your thighs with a giant rubber band.

You may also be interested in https://southpawdesign.net/collections/all as they have a few small, ergonomic keyboards.

Curious what others would pay/if anyone else signed the form?

I'd pay like $10/mo I think. Possibly more if there were no censorship/limitations (it had access to internet browsing, and I could direct it to URL's for information and whatnot).

I pay that for Copilot right now, which I feel is easily worth $50/mo. (I don't use ChatGPT that much, it'd need to be ingrained in my IDE workflow)

Sure.

Exercise and good sleep are far better than some cherry-picked exercises that this article says I need to do, and will have many more benefits. Here are the "Neurobiological effects of physical exercise" from Wikipedia [0]:

> The neurobiological effects of physical exercise are numerous and involve a wide range of interrelated effects on brain structure, brain function, and cognition. A large body of research in humans has demonstrated that consistent aerobic exercise (e.g., 30 minutes every day) induces persistent improvements in certain cognitive functions, healthy alterations in gene expression in the brain, and beneficial forms of neuroplasticity and behavioral plasticity; some of these long-term effects include: increased neuron growth, increased neurological activity, improved stress coping, enhanced cognitive control of behavior, improved declarative, spatial, and working memory, and structural and functional improvements in brain structures and pathways associated with cognitive control and memory. The effects of exercise on cognition have important implications for improving academic performance in children and college students, improving adult productivity, preserving cognitive function in old age, preventing or treating certain neurological disorders, and improving overall quality of life.

How so?

ChatGPT is quite popular on HN and other similar tech-savvy spheres, but is still far from enjoying mainstream success. Maybe like 1% of students have used it yet, and for a month at most, so it's quite the hyperbole to say that it's been "affecting" them already. Or, conversely, if this kind of thing worries you today, you're in for a wild ride ...
> It doesn't provide any actual reasons for why BNPL is a bubble nor why such a supposed bubble is about to burst.

I'll provide one: it only made any significant sense in the near-zero interest rate levels we had last year. "Split it into four payments for $0 fee" is attractive. Much less so when there's a fee; Amazon's BNPL via Affirm is now up to 10-30% APR from the previous 0%.

At those rates, people just put it on a credit card.
Fear-mongering at it's best. The article's main intent is to scare into thinking that genetic problems are because of the cold that you had when you were little so that you might send money their way for "a new philanthropic foundation to focus on the intersection of neuroscience, psychiatry and immunology." 90% of the article is superstion warning you that infertility is because you've been sick for decades and just don't know it, and 10% is asking for money.
