> Why do you want teenagers thinking that having sex before you are 18 is normal?

It is normal. Teenagers have sex all of the time, and to ignore it and pretend it doesn't happen is dangerous.

> Kids shouldn't be reading stuff about sex (gay, straight, or otherwise) before they are adults.

Yes, they should. How else do they become functional adults? They need to learn so they can make the right choices when it comes to sex, whether that's abstinence, birth control, etc.

> The only people who would be opposed to that sort of thing are groomers.

Yikes. So you're saying people who teach sex ed are "groomers"? If I give my kid a "birds and the bees" book when she's a teenager or younger, I'm a "groomer"? I'm getting the feeling that this is just more right-wing projection.
Ah "misinformation". (Which seems to be far-left speak for "has a different opinion and I'd rather censor them than argue with them".) Rogan is a comedian and has never claimed any special expertise. If you're worried that people listen to him over the legacy news media, well, what does it say about them that somehow a comedian has more credibility than they do?

Crash here means something like "speedy" or "rushed". It refers to AMD's attempt to modernize their architecture in a hurry, and doesn't have anything to do with how recovers from or deals with crashes. I was also initially confused.
Lot of talk about productivity. But I really wonder with companies like Spotify. Shouldn't they be at this point pretty mature? And is there really value looking for the next moonshot or big win? Did they actually even need the pool of engineers they had? There is always maintenance and keeping things running, making them better, but how much greenfield work would there be in short term?
I disagree with the assertion that destroying public education is a right-wing goal. While there may be some individuals or groups with that belief, it is not a universally held position among those who identify as right-wing. Additionally, making it a crime to teach is not a tactic that is being used by any mainstream political group or party. Education is an important issue that affects the future of society and should not be politicized or used for political gain.
Agreed. This was an inevitable use case for AI imagery from the get-go. No way around it. Even if one dev/trainer goes out of their way to make certain that it can't be used for that purpose, another model will be trained that can. So the only three solutions are:

A. Get over it.

B. Ban the tool in its entirety.

C. Waste tons of governmental resources, spy on people more, and operate in legal grey-area to hunt down people that produce that kind of stuff with these models.

The correct answer seems obvious to me.

For now. Being in the industry myself, I've had a saying for years, like it or not... magic internet money always goes back up. I feel like you're just looking at one blip in 13 years of blips, throwing up your hands and saying game over. That's like saying after the dot-com bubble bursting, that tech would never go up again.

You can definitely bet that people are buying the dip. It is starting to show in the recent upward price movement too. 20%+ gains in a few weeks are not small.

>It's very naive to think these huge orgs don't have dead weight which is much bigger than 6%. If you start figuring some of your moonshot ideas aren't hitting their OKR's, you have a few options:

there's been so many versions of this low quality comment on every tech-company-mass-firing article. why is so little thought put into it? if the company feels it can save on salaries then:

1. close down projects that aren't effective/profitable/whatever

1. fire people who aren't effective/profitable/whatever

mass broad spectrum layoffs like these are not that, they're "oh, let's just randomly put holes in the org chart to save X% of salary and see how it goes". would you suggest saving data storage costs by deleting 6% of files? would you suggest reducing compute by turning off 6% of jobs?

edit: and presumably a counter argument to the above is "firing people in an optimal way is hard", to which I say lol of course it is? work harder, then, before firing people. "it's hard" isn't an excuse to do some random unrelated and useless thing instead.

New MacBook Pro Reviews: Hands-On Look at Performance and Upgraded Specs
Translation: The above comment is REALLY mad that kids can learn about the existence of gay people or about how sex and STDs are spread and they feel the need to ensure kids are not told about this topic and that teachers get jail time for mentioning it.

Make no mistake, schools make choices all the time. This decision align those choices to far more insane rules by..guess what...an activist government instead.

A great example of this is John Green's Looking For Alaska. It has a sex scene that is objectively banned by this law.

That very sex scene is an example of why sex should not be the primary goal of a relationship (it goes poorly) and is directly contrasted with a moment of actual love in the very next chapter as an example of how sex is not the most valuable thing about a relationship.
It is a scapegoat for politicians and angry...activist...PTA members to simplify the topic "This book has a charater giving a BLOW JOB!!! My 16 year old is asked to READ IT?! These teachers and librarians are sick!" NOBODY's KID SHOULD READ IT.

Might I add, almost EVERY school keeps a list of alternative books and gives parents the option to opt out.

It's Gay marriage and descriptions of sex today, Alan Turing today cannot be fully explained in a book.

Maybe tomorrow it will be Hitler. "It is too violent of a topic and parents should have the right to keep their kids from reading left-wing details like the holocaust."
Practical Statecharts in C/C++: https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Statecharts-Quantum-Program...

Or more generically, look into Hierarchical State Machines.

There's a few insights that you can apply to your state machines that will give you most of the power you'll ever need:

1. Rather than storing an enum in your state variable, store a function pointer to state-functions.

2. Rather than have the states check outward for data to operate on, pass in a generic event type. There will still be some amount of looking outward, perfection is the enemy of good (a simple enum that the state function switch()-es on is enough to experiment with the idea).

3. Have a single entry point that takes an event and dispatches it to the states. That way you can trigger an arbitrary number of events to the state machine for any one external event (like after a transition, sending in "state exited" and "state entered" events).

4. Hierarchy: Add a mechanism by which a state-function can ignore the event, and the dispatching code sends the event to the state's parent state instead.

I think the rest that I gained from reading about and working with complex state machines is about creating good APIs for dealing with the ideas above, and to design the state diagram on paper before implementing. I rarely use the full complexity of the "QHsm" described in the book I linked, but the concepts aren't strangers and I'll often start with a switch(_state){} and sprinkle in features as needed.
What you're describing very much isn't happening, though. These books indeed were merely "present in school" on a book shelf. Nobody's being indoctrinated into practical terrorism in Florida schools by being forced to read the Anarchist's Cookbook or anything like that.
unfortunately the legislation is inevitable. Florida's neoconservative legislature has decided the only way to win elections consistently is with increasingly divisive culture-war brinksmanship. That the strategy works is unimpressive as fear and uncertainty are powerful motivators, regardless of outcome. That it has become such a consistent pattern in the past forty years of Republican leadership is mournful to say the least because its doomed to fail at the national level.

The effort to recriminalize non-heteronormative behavior is a telling sign this party of small government and personal liberty has run out of motivational boogeymen.

> Infinity is not a number.

It's not a real number, true. But that has no bearing at all on the validity of f(x) = x + 1, since that function is well-defined with both its domain and its range as all real numbers and no others. You don't need infinity to be a number to define that function.

Isn't the classic answer to take urgent tickets and allow that to show up in decreased velocity?

I have never worked anywhere, including using scrum, where I could avoid incoming issues for 2 weeks at a time.

At the end of the day, better systems, better code, less technical debt means less support. Issues with previous work might indicate a false velocity of the past, releasing low quality.

There are long term maintenance exceptions that happen to all code bases, that have nothing to do with quality, like supporting new platforms or unpredictable platform changes, those can go in as backlog tasks.

The real question is what you are using "velocity" for? Is it to help get a feel for work you can complete, or is it a metric to be judged by management to evaluate you?

Yeah but my understanding is that most of the overdosing are from people seeking something else. In some cases it’s akin to a contamination problem.
Analogies are often terrible because they just shift the conversation to identifying the differences and similarities in the two sides of the analogy and arguing about their relevance or lack thereof. That may lead somewhere eventually, but probably not, and certainly not efficiently.

A good analogy illustrates a different way of viewing something that not all readers might have considered, rather than simply asserting that two things are equivalent in the given context.

The negative reals are an infinite set, that doesn't make "negative infinity" a real number though. Negativy infinity is a concept, that can be used in some math frameworks, but it is not defined within R.

This is a good time to remind people that https://twitter.com/justsaysinrats exists for a reason.

... and, indeed, the uh.edu article only tangentially indicates that the actual study (https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4923/14/11/2290/htm) has only been conducted in rats at this time.

Interesting, but since it's brain chemistry we should be wary of getting too excited about the likelihood that this chemical pathway works similarly enough in rats and humans to allow for the drug to be translated (many pathways do! But many don't, and the more complex the system the less likely it translates without deleterious side-effects).

Strange... if you store a map for offline viewing in Google Maps, it will be cached for at least a few months - and when that time expires, it will ask you if you want to update it. But I can't vouch for the various hiking apps which may be better for hiking data, but have worse UX overall.

Or you can use an "offline-only" app like OSMAnd and feed it with GPX tracks downloaded from hiking sites, then you only have to worry about keeping your battery charged...

The fact is the VAST majority of these books are not sexually explicit, nor “grooming” in any way. The books simply admit that non-straight people exist.

A much more representative list is https://pen.org/report/banned-usa-growing-movement-to-censor... which tracks the 2021-2022 school year.

Applying this “sexually explicit” logic, then your left saying the network television comedy “Modern Family” is indistinguishable to the director’s cut of “Eyes Wide Shut”.

It’s straight up propaganda, meant to stigmatize non-straights as child predators. It’s not just a lie. It’s hate speech, spread for crass political gain. And it has no place in any society.
This is a real example of censorship in violation of the first amendment.

I think it's a great presenter of the general idea of visualization in computing but I've not seen many practical applications for it. The biggest thing I wish we could as programmers do is get behind the one idea of actually having computer programs actually negotiate how to communicate with each other in a more hands off approach where APIs like he mentions in the Future of Programming presentation would be possible. Basically, the programs would structure their negotiation in a way that allows each one to 'know' what the other has in terms of functionality which then the calling program would figure out which facilities best fit its request based on some complex set of rules to then fulfill that request (ex. converting a raw image file into a defined format like PNG or JPEG).

Essentially, I want programs to be less dependent on low level constructs much like today we don't depend on pointers or registers (assembly) to do our work these days. The idea that we can't have larger abstractions handled by compilers or runtimes seems silly to me.

> The fundamental idea of OpenAI LP is that investors and employees can get a capped return if we succeed at our mission

Sorry I still don’t get it. If a private equity investor has shares and another investor wants to buy them off of him at 200x they can do that right? Are they obliged to give any excess returns to the non profit? Can’t they just sell the shares at 50x and then buy them back (perhaps through some other entity) to get around that trivially?

Or does this refer to return from dividents?
It is pretty simple:

1. To make hydrogen you need energy
2. If you just put the energy in a battery you lose less energy than you do if you make hydrogen

So hydrogen only makes sense if #2 should change, and that is fundamentally impossible, or if for whatever other reason no battery exists that is suitable for the application.
