There too was Cephalus the father of Polemarchus, whom I had not seen for a long time, and I thought him very much aged. He was seated on a cushioned chair, and had a garland on his head, for he had been sacrificing in the court; and there were some other chairs in the room arranged in a semicircle, upon which we sat down by him.

[....]

[Socrates:] And this is a question which I should like to ask of you who have arrived at that time which the poets call the “threshold of old age” —Is life harder towards the end, or what report do you give of it?

[....]

[Cephalus, after listing the ways others claim getting old sucks:] But this is not my own experience, nor that of others whom I have known. How well I remember the aged poet Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with age, Sophocles —are you still the man you were? Peace, he replied; most gladly have I escaped the thing of which you speak; I feel as if I had escaped from a mad and furious master. His words have often occurred to my mind since, and they seem as good to me now as at the time when he uttered them.

— Plato, The Republic, Book I

(It's worth noting that some readings of this are that Socrates is giving Cephalus a little friendly ribbing by prompting him to talk about this, Socrates [the character, or the man, either way] actually being around the same age as Cephalus in this dialog and still plainly being far more vigorous and eagerly engaging with life)

I don't need a lover, no, no, no

I don't need a lover

So blow out the flame

"Am I wrong? If people show up to say I'm wrong, that only proves I'm right!"
I honestly don't know which is worse though. The 1930s fear and taboo or the 2020 divorce court take you to the cleaners, TRO issued and banned from seeing your kids and your guns taken away and then tossed in jail because you lost your job and the judge says you still owe support. I think I'd actually take the 1930s and I say that as someone who really dislikes those taboos and social pressures you mention.
Don't overly panic - keep your head down and do good work. At the same time, put off discretionary purchases and ensure that you have a few months of emergency liquidity setup if possible. (not always possible).

Keep a eye on linkedIn for connections who are hiring and make sure to stay connected.
I don't know if they would trade places with men, but it's definitely not a fun experience for them either. There seems to be a large group of men out there who are, not to put too fine a point on it, "single for a reason". Curating them out of the matches would damage their experience, but vastly improve the experience for everyone else. And maybe help clue them in that they need to make some changes if they want to find a compatible partner. Assuming a perfect curation system, which, I concede, is impossible.
It becomes harder and harder to create new art when every art style, every melody, every plot point is owned by someone else and you're prevented from using it.
Oh, the usual way to phrase that is “increased profit margins”.
There is a lot of air between you and space, unlike the moon and space. We'd be fine. And the power grid isn't going to be taken down by just the magnetic field switching off, even CMEs are only a risk to the grid because of how they react with the magnetic field (and even then we could prevent that but for the politics).

Plus we could fairly trivially make a replacement magnetic field. The numbers I've seen were for Mars, but the requirements were so small it would be a rounding error for the economy here on Earth.
Not that I'd ever connect an iot device to my wifi/internet, but yes, that only reason is the reason. I absolutely would want to know if it's potentially a problem on my end or their end.
Jordan Peterson's life is a freakshow. If he had such idiosyncratic views on coding, nobody here would even consider listening to him. If you want to keep your dick dry, go watch some JP.
No Bill Evans! No Oscar Peterson!

Still, this is awesome.

"The justice system moves swiftly now that they've abolished all lawyers!"

-- Doc Brown in 2015, Back to the Future

I look forward to the day when cases are argued on both sides by an AI to an AI judge. It should work about as well as Google customer service!

But seriously, having the AI do the arguing is silly. AI should be a tool. I see no issue using an AI to inform a lawyer who can use what it outputs to make their case stronger, but just using an AI seems fraught with peril.
Where is the form to remove my reddit comments from chat gpt training data? Or my blog posts from gpt training data? I have a paragraph on the Internet that someone read and got an idea - I want my royalties.

These artists complaints are ridiculous, and are being made by people who don’t understand how things work.

If some other person draws a picture in their “style”, no one has to ask permission. That’s not a thing.

They either don’t understand how it works or they are just upset that a computer can make art as good as (or better than) they can in a fraction of the time.

All knowledge workers and creatives are going to face this in the future. It’s going to suck, but it would be great if we all could try to understand reality first.
Any good page that provides software services?
hi guys!

I'm seeking to start my own startup and I want to find some developers to help me build it, do you have any advices? or maybe you know some pages where I can find developers to hire!
It's been a while since I was on a dating site, but my experience was exactly that of a small amount of incoming attention, but almost all of it sincere. So yes, I think a lot of women would be happy to make that trade.

I just never saw a lot of the awful behavior that women get on the regular. E.g., the guys who will go from "u r hot" to "fuck you bitch" in a series of DMs over 12 hours with absolutely no response from women. It honestly amazes me that so many of them stay in the dating market at all.
Got the dosage perfect. Pretty close on the xmosmrelin. But the latter half is far too legible still.
If employees were being encouraged to jump ship every 3-6 months for a pay raise during the pandemic, why should companies show any loyalty to them either?
Cannot say, unfortunately - I do not use any of these plugins.
Let's see, I could have a tremendous amount of fun spending 2 million dollars a year with my friends because YOLO or I could spend all my waking hours obsessing about my body so I can live a few more years obsessing about my body. I know what I would choose.
I hope this technology will become so ubiquitous that laws and "proper authorization" won't matter.
Yeah yeah, I get it. Moral philosophy is full of gray areas.

I don't see how that remotely supports "AI cannot be allowed to make mistakes some humans would not", which was your decidedly absolutist position above.

How about: "We should allow autonomy in most cases, though perhaps regulate it carefully to better measure its performance against manually-directed systems"
food packaging plastics are short lived (time from packaging to consumption is <2 years) and they are not exposed to sun nor heat. They are safe.

But long-term plastics in tubing are exposed continuously to heat (hot water) and will start falling apart and leech chemicals, because they are exposed over long-term
Don't try this with C++, unless you're certain that there are no interdependencies or side-effects in global variable initialisation. The link order (usually) affects the order in which initialisers are executed.
it is generic, the game works offline, doesn't require registration so there is no place to enter any PII
COBRA, or a state-equivalent, is available for nearly all US employees for 18 months after a layoff. Yes, it's expensive, but not outrageously so - I've been on COBRA a few times, and the expense is just because you're paying for the piece the company used to.

Point being it's still just money at the end, and saving up for a rainy day fund should also include COBRA payments in the calculation of how long the fund will last.
This looks really nice. I'd love to know more about the business model. Is it completely self-funded? Does it make any revenue? Are you using it as a mechanism to help your practice? Thanks!
Interesting, but if the information's public, that's a no go. Nobody wants their personal information out there. And seeing all of the information before you submit your own profile is problematic, especially if the algorithm's known and reproducible. I'm afraid you'd have a system where you could declare "a great match" to any targeted account for the cost of $1. Worse, you're now snagged in the canonical smart contract problem: you can't fix problems in the algorithm anymore. How do you tune the dang thing after release?
That stuff isn't "hard" per se, and some of that stuff isn't even needed for a MVP, they're good to haves or only really required when you've got 100s of users (product dependant of course). If the MVP doesn't get there either iterate product or bin it
They might be more bureaucratic about your data, but I wouldn't says it's really any safer. Even places with sensitive info like OPM have been hacked. I think the IRS had a leak at one point too, but don't remember now.
I think our generation will be remembered for over-optimization more than anything. We keep chasing the best hotel, the best restaurant, the best partner, not realizing that things that give us meaning and happiness are intangible, unique, weird, and usually right in front of us.
Not just that but also lean heavily towards entitlement of one sex and exploitation of another.
The dating market for men seems very similar to the job market:

* It's easier to find a partner when you already have one

* There are much higher standards in getting dates (akin to interviewing) than once in a relationship

* Theres a power imbalance due to cultural expectations that men are the pursuers
Not to mention, if you have a child at home, you can just call them to turn the oven on.
It is normal because most labor sellers are not able or willing to sell their labor at a higher price to a different buyer.

All that nonsense about pools and targets and budgets is just a polite way of the buyer saying “we are betting you will not quit for x number”.

As a labor seller, you should always just think of employers as buyers, and negotiate the way you would in any transaction. If you think you can get more, then shop around for a different buyer. Or a different line of business if your buyers are not earning much profit themselves.
So I’m fairly new to the world of full stack web development. I’ve been trying to make an MVP using SvelteKit and Firebase, but what I’m running into is that they both kind of try and avoid a separate backend in different ways that seem to sometimes conflict with each other.

For instance, Firebase is meant to connect on the client so you don’t need the backend database connection, but then you can’t use SvelteKit’s SSR. Does Supabase work similarly in this aspect? What do you do in this situation?
It's working for advertisers on this platform.
I am truly fascinated at the people this topic is bringing out here.
I’m keen on this approach for my next project.

Can you share any Dockerfiles / scripts you use to get going with this?
You seem to be missing the point that has been made many times here that these studies and reports are demonstrating that a significant number of ordinary men are not even getting to the point they can negotiate a "transaction".

The imbalance since the onset of online dating is huge and it and its dismissal with implied equivalence on each side is a real problem for society.
This is a really nice stack and what I’m using together with a colleague right now.

Do you use the serverless functions available with Vercel/Supabase? If so, I’m curious how you choose when to go with each provider.
+1 anecdotally on this

If you are a straight man, the NYC dating scene is heavily in your favor. Opposite in SF
Who cares? Seriously. The technology is far more important than their little incentives. Copyright has already destroyed computer freedom and the internet. It can't be allowed to destroy yet another awesome innovation.

I keep programming computers just because I like it. Maybe they'll keep creating too for the same reasons. Maybe they won't. It's irrelevant either way.
So IBM pay is $300,000 / year on average for the impacted roles? Seems very high.

At minimum I think most people (the bottom ~90% dating-success-wise, both men and women) in our society would be better off with arranged marriages compared to our current cultural hellscape.

The problem is no one thinks they're in the bottom 90% of anything.
ROP gadgets?
Why don't you just try to prove her wrong? Seems like a pretty easy experiment.
The whole point of the Fed putting rates up was to cause mass unemployment so workers had no leverage so they'd accept lower wages and more money would go to capital holders. You can't blame CEOs for getting "ahead" on their Todo list...
An terbative to removing files or go through contortions to stuff things in a single layer is to use a builder image and copy the generated artefacts into a clean image:

FROM foo AS builder

.. build steps

FROM foo

COPY --from=builder generated-file target

(I hope I got that right; on a phone and been a while since I did this from scratch, but you get the overall point)
How late into their 30s? Do they want kids?
Yep this is it. We are seeing our evolutionary state manifest as we work to undo a few millennia of "repressive" cultural norms.

The sad truth is most men are disposable (from an evolutionary point of view), much like the vast quantities of sperm they produce.
It was a startup, things weren’t super strict.
> part of this is that people have accepted the poor experience of non-realtime applications

my experience has taught me the exact opposite: people have accepted the poor experience of real time applications (client side crashes that bring down the entire page, half-baked routing that is essentially just rebuilding the browser navigator, inconsistent client vs server rendering processes). developers tend to completely stick their head in the sand when these issues are occurring. there's complete classes of problems that simply go away when you're not building an SPA.

> Also IMHO, a flexible type system like Typescript makes development faster than without it. You can refactor faster

in the long run, yes, but in the short term you're probably not going to get your mvp out faster because you chose TS
I didn't realize this was considered a "new" solution.

I always assumed that there would be no contact because we are utterly uninteresting. We probably lie well within the middle of the pack in every single way as far as species go, not only in current attributes and technology, but also in our trajectory.

If we're lucky, some very bored data-focused alien in the region may discretely drop by just to catalog us.
There's also 2X which is often quite grueling.
And locking him in a box is a very good strategy to help him get there, of course.
Came here to say something similar. Humans are much closer to “other” animals than what they think, and social instituions like marriage were created to prevent social mayhem.
Weird how people started getting these side effects from the "experimental mRNA gene therapy" several months before the vaccination programmes started...
No area of health work tends towards new tech. It's disallowed by regulation.
Surprising -- until you look at what they eat. Rural people often eat /food/. They may eat too much, with too many calories and too much fat, but it is food. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage, gravy, steak, potatoes, corn, beans (geez I'm getting hungry).

City people might eat the same calories, but it's hyperprocessed HFCS-based "food".
Great story, especially in light of the fact that, at the beginning, IBM did everything they could to pretend that UNIX and Linux didn't exist. And now, they've "bet the future" by buying Red Hat.
Everything is questionable, to the inquisitive. Do you have something to add, or are you just casting valueless aspersions?
I would like to recommend Rather Labs (https://www.ratherlabs.com), a software services company that provides a wide range of solutions to help businesses improve their operations. From custom software development to data analysis and Blockchain.

Don't forget to do research, create a comprehensive business plan, do networking, develop an MVP and get funding. Remember, starting a startup is not easy, but with persistence, hard work, and a great idea, you can make it happen.

Good luck!
This has certainly made me rethink my approach...
Ask chatgpt to collect every possible frontend and backend frameworks form this post.
I don't see any argument in your comment, so could you break it down for me?
I like how this implementation makes it evident that GPT understands the style, but not yet the humor.
Who engineered this thing? It's not like it's rocket science.

Oh wait…
I'm single and male, and personally I don't feel a "need" for sex. I do wish other less intrusive forms of intimacy e.g. hugs could be more legitimized between single people, though.

Sometimes I see pictures of cats cuddling and just wonder why humans are so bad at engaging in simple, consensual comforts like that.
paypal works fine with my google voice account. get sms's and copy/paste them into the field.
I wrote the article, and am personally extremely interested in this angle. What would happen to writing if we could directly transfer ideas without any kind of mediation? Would we need to "translate" at all? Would we still want to write for the beauty of it, and read for the meaning it adds to our lives?

You are in the better position.

Her inbox might be flooded with messages, but most of those messages are spam. Most of the guys didn't even look at her profile, and instead swiped right on everyone and copy-pasted the same message to all of their matches. If she replies, most of them will not respond. Few will put in the effort to have a substantial conversation, and fewer will actually try to go out on a date with her.

If she goes on a date, she would end up in the same situation. She will probably carry the conversation and will be more interested in them than they are in her. Many will agree to have sex with her for the sake of their own pleasure, but few would attempt to give her pleasure. If she gets into a relationship, chances are the guy won't pull his weight (because he's not really interested) and she will end up doing all the work. He will regularly flake on her to hang out with his friends and play videogames, and will try to hide the fact that he doesn't actually like her as a person or enjoy being around her.

On the other hand, if you get a handful of responses, that means a handful of women are interested in you. They actually want to talk to YOU, to the extent that you are accurately represented by your profile. The chance that one of those people are a good match for you, and that they are willing to give you a fair chance is high. And if they end up not actually liking who you are, they will do you the favor of ending it instead of wasting your time.

As for guys who don't get matches or messages at all: it's because your profile sucks. Take better pictures. No, those pictures suck too, try again.
I don't think anyone has an issue with that. Everyone that does not want to be monogamous is free to do so with others the do not want to be monogamous. I think tinder is well known for this. For many other people monogamy is important and a violation of that monogamy is grounds for ending a relationship. Why can both groups not just live their lives and wish each other well? The OP article is not about that, men that want to have sex, monogamous or not are not able to and that number is increasing.

I've been with my wife for 23 years now, more than half my life. 100% monogamous on both sides. It works for us and if either one of us was to cheat then that would be the end of the relationship. Relationships are managed by rules accepted by both sides. If a relationship does not want to have monogamy in its rule set and all parties agree then more power to them.
Here you go! Plenty of similar articles out there if you search for this yourself. I’ve also seen people break up these pills and put into glass pipes to smoke at the train station.

Please don't do this.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34529215.
If you don't have a source for that, you should put it back where it came from.
And it will eventually. But that's far down the line... prices are still well above the covid era bubble run.

And the easing of financial conditions over the past few months has buoyed the previously declining housing metrics. Markets front ran the recession far too early, which led to the recession not happening. Now Fed likely has to hike even more than they would have otherwise
I think you are thinking the legal system simple and it is basically a jobs program for lawyers. I think that is a very simplistic and unrealistic notion of the legal system. I also don’t think many lawyers are squirming about socialism or whatever.
Could you share how you formed this thought? Why is monogamy part of the problem?
Please don't take HN threads into nationalistic flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
Ironically - two very different things:
a) We are managing the company very conservatively and are cutting travel/advertising and projects that are not making money and shifting them to projects that do, and not replacing people who leave unless the CEO or board approves (ie, the do less better strategy)

-or-

b) We are in trouble, so we are going to address this now by a sizeable layoff, but with generous layoff terms. We will also kill anything that doesn't have a clear trajectory to be sucessfull at runway length * 0.75.

Where you want to avoid is in a company that does sequential waves of 5-10% layoff. That means that that they didn't focus enough and are now past V1, without enough velocity to takeoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds). That's when the company suddeny laysoff the vast majority of their workers with crappy layoff terms.
> One possible aid for sexual loneliness might come from online dating apps such as Tinder. In theory, online dating could provide an efficient way to find a partner.

In a theory that, like many 101-level econonic theories, assumes no-cost perfect information, rather than the real costs of information gathering on the alternatives and the real incentives to game this (making it worse for everyone else) by misrepresentation.

I would in fact argue that a major cause of the modern issue is belief in the theory that dating apps offer this, and the divide between that theory and the reality. Even pre-dating apps, the dating methods that did the most to divorce dating from general social intercourse contributed to this, but dating apps take that to a whole new level.
How you write profiles probably matters. If you're sparse or you're too wordy, that's going to put people off.

You also have to have some hooks --things that are part of your personality that can instigate some interest. Could be climbing, playing an instrument, working on a farm, etc. But also don't make things up. Looks matter, but after that initial attraction, other things matter, are they organized, are they too compulsive... You know their habits and so on. You want someone normal but also not someone boring, for the most part.
