Nicholas Carr's book "The shallows - What the internet is doing to out brains" is a little old (2011), but an eye-opening read.

"One thing is very clear: if, knowing what we know today about the brain’s plasticity, you were to set out to invent a medium that would rewire our mental circuits as quickly and thoroughly as possible, you would probably end up designing something that looks and works a lot like the Internet. It’s not just that we tend to use the Net regularly, even obsessively. It’s that the Net delivers precisely the kind of sensory and cognitive stimuli—repetitive, intensive, interactive, addictive—that have been shown to result in strong and rapid alterations in brain circuits and functions. With the exception of alphabets and number systems, the Net may well be the single most powerful mind-altering technology that has ever come into general use. At the very least, it’s the most powerful that has come along since the book."

He's railing about the internet being a designed distraction machine, rather than youtube specifically.
People have been sending paper invoices to the overworked accounting departments of companies for a very long time. (Or the slightly more sophisticated "office supply" scam where they send unsolicited some low grade office supplies with a very large invoice which has been going around since the 1970s).
same reason for anything cloud based. Sync between accounts, take the responsibility of data storage off the user.
That was exactly what i was thinking when looking at the picture!
Looking through the chat, it doesn't seem to me that CZ is suspecting SBF with just this $250k trade. To me it looks like he is suspecting that SBF is doing something shady, and the $250k trade is just a tiny example of that activity. You have to intrepret this quite strongly to have the view that CZ seriously would think 250k would move the market. Additionally, CZ was right that SBF is a crook.
The other difference is that with public TV there will be moments where it shows stuff the kids couldn't care less about, and they'll go do something else. With limitless online streaming, there is always something to keep their attention.

At that age, it is pretty much random. Some kids yes, some not and most of them are in the middle - sometimes yes and other times no. Their attention span is very small, so basically no child will play alone long enough for you to cook.

You cant really force it to happen in any case. Sometimes you cook while fighting the kid and that is that.
Even if those ideas are death ends its really important for the rest of the community to know at least some one has put some efforts and discovered several death branches in that creative direction.
We will build some unique functionality that is different from the value proposition at DayOne
Seems like something where one would want something like yt download. ie a local library of somewhat curated content
Excellent. To answer OPs question: on some hardware, you cannot distinguish between an overflow and some other fault. On systems without this limitation, you might include a model-specific header and look at a particular bit in flags to find the carry. I presume there are architectures, maybe with a math coprocessor, where nabbing those flags requires an interrupt.

Asking the language to define math around each of those is actually less portable.
There is no way that I am letting my kids have unattended access to youtube.

Without careful shepherding its a gateway to some really quite nasty stuff.

Not to mention the fucking adverts for stuff. I get pestered enough for stuff they see in advert breaks for the TV.

We lost the battle with netflix et al for my kids years ago. But they have a time limit because other nothing else gets done. More specifically, they are either watching stuff on the screen or doing something, never both.
>Curating content and setting limits on screen time is your job as a parent in this era.

This, 100%! We're at the point where the tablet is for podcasts, and we can watch instructional videos with a specific topic in mind (e.g. tips on drawing anime characters). And that's it. It's been a month and we saw a noticeable change literally overnight in quality and amount of sleep, quality of conversation, and the child is generally happier
If the X server were running in the VM, how would it display things, or get keyboard and mouse input? You’d need to provide emulated hardware devices, which could be something like /dev/fb0 for output and /dev/input/ devices for keyboard and mouse. All that is a very much larger undertaking, and probably a good deal less useful in general. The likes of X are a much more suitable abstraction.

The change here is implementing sendmsg and recvmsg: socket communications, implying communicating with something outside the VM, which in the context of GUI stuff almost certainly means an X server from outside.
I think we should. Politics is everywhere - it is how we organize our command chains and direct our collective action towards a set of goals. While corporations are rarely democracies, there is still politics in the sense that all the commands are the result of negotiations between the parts, in which each one informs the other about what's required and what are the possible outcomes.

There is, however, a tendency to take extreme positions and that needs to be fought. We must always debate in good faith - and ensure ourselves that we are doing so in good faith - that we listened, that our opinions are based on objective truths, and that we are willing to change our opinions when confronted by evidence against them.
Which book was used?
That the prevailing view is in the US culture is that it is not abuse doesn't mean it is not abuse though. This entire discussion is precisely about current US polular culture biases being enforced in the models. FGM isn't seen as abuse by those that practice it either and I suspect many other child abusers also have plenty of excuses why their acts are not that bad.

It would have been a Tom Cruise moment if he’d said, “I learned CSS over the weekend and got it right the first time”!
My comment was misleading—I didn’t ask the parents. I asked the then-kids, who are my peers. And looking back, there really were signs of healthy parenting, and my peers grew up to be happy, well-adjusted individuals who liked the idea of family, and they genuinely mourned when they lost a parent.
> If you cross the IO boundary to the Windows FS, yes, it is slow and your compilation will be slow

If you need good IO performance, WSL1 is still a valid option.

I need good IO performance, and it's not clear how much of the overhead is due to NTFS, and how much is due to 9p (to pass the VHDX file on the NTFS partition to WSL2)

So I'm planning some experiments with OpenZFS for windows and NTFS3 (https://old.reddit.com/r/zfs/comments/10lcnpk/zfs_raw_passth...), first using a WSL2 kernel with the option enabled (https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8564 and https://github.com/bioluks/WSL2-Linux-Kernel-NTFS) then WSL1.

I have a dual NVMe setup and W11 for Workstations, so it should be possible to run a passthrough of both partitions to the kernel.

However, it's not clear yet how to do that with a VHD on VHDX: most of the documentation I've read about VHD (or VHDX) refers to a passthrough as an "old" option: https://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/hyper-v-pass-through-disks/
I love building developers' tools. I also got great experience the team and technological stack.

Right bets:
1. AWS cloud all-in. Infra as code.
2. Microservices.
3. Scala

Wrong bets:
1. Lack of throttling traffic and limits
2. Misuse neo4j as a store of all metadata.
3. We overengineered some stuff.
Twitter was profitable in 2018 and 2019.
The "solution" is to not expose them to YouTube in the first place. Worked so far, for several families I know.

I think you are right. Maybe its best to make an active decision to avoid politics and the emotion trap they try to ensnare you in. I find it difficult when every news channel and every tweet tries to provoke a response from you. It can be very addictive.
Frankly I can't tell what's real or not any more. Filecounter, if that's your real name, you could be just concern trolling. You might be sincere. You might be a bot. You might be in the 50 ruble army spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt. Maybe you're just lonely and just want someone to talk to.

I would lean against posting your political opinions on the internet, and instead step away from the computer and you know, spend time with friends. Get some fresh air and exercise. If you want to have some political influence showing up in person is, I don't know, at least a million times more effective than posting internet opinions.

That guy doesn't have what it takes to be the CEO of one of the most important tech companies in the world, just like Trump/Biden are probably not the most talented leaders of the most important country either.

Eric Schmidt was great, and Google has lots of other much more talented leaders who understand programming on a deep level.

When we asked Eric Schmidt years ago of why some stupid things are happening (Christmas present of donating Google laptops to US children especially when most of us are from poorer countries), his answer was ,,I'm not the CEO''.

I don't think current platforms make it easy for developers to make money from their software. Especially libraries. There's a total unwillingness to pay for support because it's easier to just open a GitHub issue and complain. I think you're a rare case and that really means developers can't make a living off stuff like this. The few exceptions are something like sqlite maybe. Other stuff ends up needing to be heavily VC funded or backed by corporate sponsorships.

If GitHub actually helped developers make money this would be a different story. Sponsorships are a tipjar, it's not a sustainable path, it's not a form of employment. Grants, same thing, waste of time. We need the ability for developers to put a Pay but on their repositories. This is not about optional sponsorship. This is about paying to download the code, paying for use after a certain point. This is about putting a real number on the value of software. It only works when you define the economic model. If each Dev has yo setup their own website, integrate payments, do sales, etc its a struggle. GitHub is a big enough distribution channel where they could actually streamline this, App Store style. I know they have a marketplace but realistically who's using it?
oh shit.... yes yes yes
James Damore is a good example. By expressing an opinion in a somewhat careless way, and by the repetition of its simplification in even more careless ways, he managed to alienate about half the workforce at the company he worked for (and almost everywhere else).

I learned to use the Bernard Meltzer criteria: "Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid."
Does not take much effort. Below is an example using curl. For reading Twitter feeds I just get the JSON and read the "full_text" objects. I have simple custom program I wrote that turns JSON of unlimited size into something like line-delimited JSON so I can use sed, grep and awk on it but HN readers probably prefer jq. For checking out t.co URLs I use HTTP/1.1 pipelining.

Usage for reading is something like (but not identical to)

1.sh screen_name > 1.json
yy059 < 1.json|grep full_text > 1.txt
less 1.txt

Usage for checking out URLs is something like (but not identical to)

unset connection
export Connection=keep-alive
yy059 < 1.json|grep full_text \
|yy030 \
|grep "https://t.co/.{10}$" \
|uniq \
|yy025 \
|nc -vv h1b 80 \
|sed -n '/location: /s///p' \
|ahref > 1.htm
links -no-connect 1.htm

"ahref" is just a script turns URLs on stdin into simple HTML on stdout

Alternatively if I do not trust the URLs I might use a script called "www" instead of ahref. It takes URLs on stdin and fetches archive.org URLs wrapped in simple HTML to stdout, using the IA's cdx API.

There's no way I would use the Twitter website as it requires enabling Javascript and not for the user's benefit.

This solution isn't pretty but I can easily keep tabs on Twitter feeds without any need for a Twitter account, a Twitter "API key" or a so-called "modern" browser.
But since so many people have done this and not shot up their school, how predictive is it really?
Twitter API is what publishers use to bring content onto Twitter. That content is a reason why other users visit Twitter. With that content gone, Twitter is a lot less attractive to many.

Will be interesting to observe ... will publishers pay? Will users enjoy without those?
Thank you for that, it’s encouraging to hear others can get statically-typed-like quality of life following sound practices
COVID absolutely warped kids’ brains in ways we will not understand for decades, but also kids seem to have a hardwired affinity for other kids. For example, I have a two year old who has never seen Youtube/Netflix/TV and has a revolving door of playmates. She loves “reading” books with us, and her non-negotiable toddler “preference” is always for books with photos of other kids. Not animals or cartoons or fun drawings etc. Occasionally we show her photos on our phones and she swipes fast until she finds photos of babies/kids.
> The hard part is ... not building them when you already know what to build.

Indeed. A somewhat sharp schoolchild could build a light bulb or an electric motor/generator, and understand the basic underlying principles, in a pretty short time. But how many decades did it take the first researchers and inventors of those things to get to that same point?

Heck, there was a high school kid who built a primitive semiconductor fab in their garage.[0]

But for novel advancements, even getting to the point where you have an idea of what isn't impossible is half the battle.

> Most of Twitter's important features (retweets […]) ultimately originated in third party clients,

Not sure about the others, but RTs did not originate with 3rd party clients, but simply organically with users. Back then we did RT @author OriginalText, third party client support for automating this came after it was established and displaying them differently much later.
Fascinating list, and really well presented and written! Lots of stuff I've never read about before.
Same issue in Firefox
> I don't see how third party developers are additive to Twitter in the same way they're additive to Apple at all.

They bring the content users want to consume.
> China has spy satellites that can do what this balloon supposedly can,

Satellites have predictable orbits and are otherwise tracked, but a stealthy balloon might go unnoticed and manage to surveil sites that don’t mask their sensitive activities when they think the sky is currently clear. It’s possible that the ballon is performing signals intelligence gathering, or something else satellites at altitude can’t do.

Also, the perception (true or otherwise) that the US is not fully able to control its national airspace is something China can make propaganda out of.
A hard take off is unlikely because stronger AI takes a lot of hardware and data collection. Building fabs is hard and takes a lot of capital and time. Intelligence can only take you so far.

They're able to target not just kids, but they know the personalities of so many people, i doubt it's very difficult for them to determine which groups are most susceptible... E.g.

A nuclear chain reaction takes place roughly over a single microsecond. To travel the ~11 inches of a bomb, in ideal circumstances, a high explosive needs roughly 200 microseconds. It is not impossible that the exact right stuff could happen to trigger the bomb, but it is extremely unlikely - it took the smartest minds in america working together for 3 years to figure out the exact precise timing to prevent a nuclear fizzle and achieve a true atomic explosion. It is, contrary to pop culture, near-impossible to pull off by dumb luck. Mostly you'll just make a radioactive mess.

Lot me try this with Lotuk by Arsenal. Every other service will only recommend other songs from Belgium, disregarding any other form of similarity (to my dispair).

Currently, the website seems down though?

EDIT: the results are ... not what I expected. They are similar in some sense, but I wouldn't consider them "musically" similar. It's like each of the recommendations has something similar, whether the drums, the baseline or the voice. But none of them feel similar in the whole.

It's as if similarity is measured with an L2-norm in a high-dimensional embedding space, instead of cosine similarity? Did you experiment with different scoring metrics in semantic search? I would recommend cosine similarity, if this is an embedding space trained with neural networks, whether with a contrastive loss or with a gaussian prior.
Selfishly the hype for AGI is good for an ML engineer like myself. But I have to say that there is no hope in solving a problem (especially by 2030!) that one cannot even define.

Problems of the form “create a machine that can do X” are tractable. AGI is not because no one can agree on what intelligence is.
