My parents always told me “we can only control what goes on in our house”

I’d have that attitude — show your children this study and explain why they can’t use it in your home. “I won’t support making you mentally ill”

In reality, your kids will likely subvert you to some degree. That said if you set the clear boundaries and alternatives it might not be bad. Particularly, if you’re upfront and explain.

I personally send my kids to a school that where we signed an agreement for no tech in the classroom (or generally limit it at home). At the very least, that ensures kids can be kids at school. After that; I suggest getting them in activities and keeping them active.

In many ways connectivity is great, it’s the algorithmic enhancement and broadcasting that’s at issue. I doubt there’s mental health issues related to texting one-on-one for instance (or very limited issues).
I agree. It's worth noting that the 4800u was on store shelves 18 months before the first M1s were released, however. Apple Silicon was released into a market that had had already seen comparable APUs.
It’s astonishing that a conviction was reached on witness testimony alone. There was no physical evidence or video-- just testimony from other drug smugglers who obviously wanted good deals themselves.

I don't doubt the stories of the witnesses. It is just surprising to see a conviction on this alone.
The way they used to??? Jesus H. Christ were they approaching women at bars with their genitals outside their pants? Because that's what #MeToo was about.

You can still ask to buy a stranger a drink. You're allowed start a conversation with someone you find attractive. But it's long odds. It's much better to do something with a group: join a choir, go to yoga class, take art or cooking classes, etc. It's a win-win too, because you won't meet someone right off, and while you're building that community you still get to sing/exercise/create/eat.
What about when the message encourages radical violence? Messages from ISIS et al. get deplatformed but not those who encourage right wing US domestic terrorism such as Ben Shapiro or Steven Crowder? Also no, there aren't any left wing domestic terrorist organizations similar to the proud boys or boogaloo boys. There also haven't been left wing mass shooters as far as I'm aware. There may be one or two but it's far from the majority. Numerous shooters have cited far right political ideology in their writings.

Seems suspicious to me, I don't think right wing voices are actually getting silenced. The opposite in fact.

>In six out of seven countries — all but Germany — Tweets posted by accounts from the political right receive more algorithmic amplification than the political left when studied as a group.

So what does this all say about which ideas are more harmful? What does it say about who is actually getting silenced? The right wing media seems to love playing the victim.

IIRC, Musk was proud to boast of the decision to leave California for how great Texas is. I wonder (don't wonder) if he'll boast about how great California is over Texas now that he's moving back. There must be a reason. Also, wonder what shareholders and board members think of such a costly move-and-undo.
why would somebody use gmail if there is fastmail.com?
I saw a stock market company in the UK do this in the 90's, mostly through natural wastage and not replacing the position, a total ban on recruitment except essential jobs, whilst blaming the new govt.

Businesses need ways to control govt for their own means, just look at the legislation, regulations and business practices that exists and does not exist in one country and not another.

The US Supreme Court case Gonzalez v. Google, even some of the US Judges have said congress need to be addressing this, but these politicians are all bought and paid for, except perhaps Bernie Sanders. Perhaps this is also why US tech stock is laying off big, they know the game is up and changes are a foot.

Look at parts of the German Autobahn where its got no speed limit, do you think the German Car manufacturers had a little bit of a say in keeping things unchanged since 1934?
Ideally you would cook with a saturated fat like tallow, lard, coconut fat etc as they don't have a double bond to break. Monounasturated fat like (real) olive oil at least has fewer double bonds than polyunsaturated fats (seed oils). Cheaper olive oil is extracted with heat and solvents or even blended with seed oil.

I can't imagine what my life would have been like if my local library or bookseller felt like you do about the internet and I was trapped reading fiction way below by level.

The solution to the problem isn't censorship and holding inquisitive children back, it's parenting and guiding children safely while they explore their interests and the world they live in.
No, there were hectic sanctions against South Africa. We wouldn't have been able to do business outside of SA, travel to many countries, take part in the Olympics, etc. Probably would've ended up like Cuba.
Correlation is evidence.

You might be asking for a proof, but proving causation for historical events is nearly impossible.

Overwhelming amount of correlation is as good as it gets. For example if you can see the same trends in other regions where inflection point strongly correlates with social networks entering the market (i.e. being launched/unbanned/localized).
This seems obvious, and the correct decision.

Copyright requires an author, a purely mechanically produced work by definition does not have an author.
[deleted because my reply misunderstood the original comment]
This was very much my observation of my nieces and nephews who went through that experience. They went all the way to adulthood home schooled, and the net result was they were wholly unprepared to be adults in modern society. They made it, mostly, but it was a rough couple years of adjustment.

On top of that, far from acquiring the values their parents hoped they'd get, they ended up with the reverse. Their attitudes are largely polar reversed from their parents, and they're incredibly resentful of having had those values pushed on them for the entirety of their childhood.
You can focus on punishing people, or you can look at why the mixup happened in the first place.
Maybe Google's Bard does better at this type of task.
They said “could potentially”. They’re just making the argument (true IMO) that technology doesn’t have to replace a class of employee to have a huge effect. We still have farmers, but 1% of the population instead of >50%.

Or, it could be like how assemblers didn’t get rid of software engineers but helped fuel the fire. Who knows.
Anecdotally, I think using social media requires a sense of emotional intelligence in order to not be adversely affected. You have to be cognizant that the highlights of other people’s lives aren’t comparable to your own life. Otherwise, you go down the spiral of thinking that your life is so much worse than others’.
There are two possible outcomes for a publicly traded company that has figured out how to make a lot of money over a long period

1. Continue to accrete new revenue sources and pivot slightly forever until you eventually do a bit of everything, "diversifying" to the point where you become in effect a small nation

2. Stick to your plan and go out of business

These are the two possible outcomes as a public company
This is Kaliyuga, buddy, the Iron Age. Anybody over sixteen without an ulcer's a goddam spy.
Completely disagree with not saying anything.

To succeed, you need a deep and trusting relationship with your cofounders. If you can't bring up and discuss doubts/fears/irritations/any other issues, you are already on the path to failure.

As an employee it can be the right call not to say anything, but not as a founder.
Well in that 1 hour leetcode session at least the interviewer is wasting the same amount of time as you. In this case you can spend all weekend working on the exercise and never even get a response.
Not so sure about this. Most people suck at conducting interviews if they haven't been trained. This is how we ended up with candidates complaining about high pressure whiteboard tests as a form of hazing.
Yeah yeah eventually physics takes care of everything. Doesn't mean we have to suffer through it. That's the whole point of civilization isn't it?

Kids use this trick to get high. Unfortunately if they are used to washed batches of poppies seeds and then get a poorly washed batch, it is often enough to kill them when consuming their normal quantity.

The LD50 is only about 4x the recreational dose of heroin. So this is a dangerous class of drugs to play around with if the intent is to get high
People are so skeptic and negative about humans nowadays.

We are an incredibly hardy species. We are clever. We find ways to survive in deserts, mountains, small islands, icey tundras and anything in between.

We plan ahead, we can eat and digest pretty much anything (except for cellulose) and we have as much drive to survive as your average cockroach.

Sure our species is vulnerable. And I wouldn't rule out large percentages of our population dying at some point.
But don't bet against the inventiveness and flexibility of humans. We may be one of the last species on this planet to become extinct.
How were you getting the report from ChatGPT into the form? Sounds like you'd have to tab/F2 anyways to input what ChatGPT says.
I have seen multiple instances where the url was a significantly less sensationalist title that was presumably the authors original headline but an editor decided they needed to get the clicks and modified the actual article headline. Very funny how laid bare it was.

Maybe, but middle school is often thought to be the worst. Kids are so young at that age but also smart enough to be exposed to all kinds of things.
What is the tech behind all these AI products that are popping up? Like do they use ChatGPT under the hood? Some other paid service? Something open source?
It is good to think about, maybe the dark stuff are the cause of these "early" galaxies.

>We made a mixture of sugar and flour so that we could compress them. They were actually mixed with acetone and ether. And we had them dry out. Once they were dried, we would cover them with varnish so that they would look shiny.

Type 1 diabetic here, they’re not close to as invasive as insulin pumps and a lot of people use those. Honestly the real problem with CGMs is they aren’t accurate enough, and they bias high - I suspect so they can pretend they eliminate hypos more than they do. (Having said that, CGMs are well worth it even with those drawbacks. They’re only invasive on the initial application.)

But I do applaud the team for working on the technology nonetheless.
> GP didn't mention degrading retinas, just age.

Retinas degrading is a factor of age.
Is the inevitable conclusion of this vein of research some public health program akin to the one that shackled big tobacco?

The link between (early) smoking and cancer seems like it was about as difficult to measure as the link between (early) social media use and mental illness, but we have better tools for collecting and analyzing data in 2023.

There's many gradations between what we have today ("Hey! How old are you? Under 13? Try again later") and requiring new accounts to be linked to a government ID attesting a certain age, but it does feel like the norm today might hem too close to reckless abandonment.
>This is a rephrasing of the argument against smoking, where the argument that was smoking harms nobody else, and the counter was that smokers created a healthcare burden.

Smoking also has much more direct second hand effects from releasing smoke into the area of the smoker. Poor diet lack such effects.
"Afrikaans Paramilitary groups" was basically what Apartheid was, only state sanctioned.

> Hiv infection rates rose from 3% to 18% of the adult population.

It's like saying COVID rates grew XXX% in 2020 due to some new government. Yes, SA's HIV rate is absolutely awful, but HIV hardly existed before the end of Apartheid.
i was thinking that we are obviously a fast-evolving species - look at all our mostly extinct relatives. so in a million years we will probably go the same way.
I mean, I get the sarcasm, but at the same time we could probably monitor all asteroids from what we’re spending on climate change atm.

This is one big issue I have with the hysterical end of the climate change debate, there are 100 other threats to humanity, yet we don’t really care about them, probably because the media doesn’t care as much.

Covid is a pretty good example also, it’s killed way more people than the climate has for a long long time. A pandemic is a much bigger threat to both humanity and the economy. But somehow we’ve latched on to some event that might happen based on computer models in 50-200 years, as the biggest threat. At least according to the media. In reality even the IPCC doesn’t predict any fall in GDP due to climate change, just a slow in growth. Covid actually decreased worldwide gdp. An asteroid definitely would too.

My point is, we spend resources on a lot of things as humans. Lots of stupid things sometimes. I don’t see how one man’s goal to get to mars isn’t on the more positive side of things, and the technologies that will be developed for it will be definite positives for everyone, just look at reusable rockets.
Without endorsing this particular conjecture, it's encouraging that JWST is generating so much interesting data so soon and leading to lots of theoretical re-evaluation. Astronomy and HEP may seem pretty abstract and pointless to non-nerds, but techniques developed for the collection and analysis of such vast datasets find their way back into more quotidian applications.
Nixon was a different character. He was a flawed genius, with his paranoia and alcoholism impacting his legacy.

Carter didn’t have the temperament to be a president in his age. He was a flawed president, but a great man. He grew from failure and used his talents and pulpit to advance humanity in a small way.

There’s a difference and when you look at figures in history in leadership, it happens.
There's still a market there. There's demand which will be HIGHLY sensitive to the price government sets, and labor which is in many OECD economies in short supply.

You're assuming that the average Amish are great at school, which based on nost communities around the world, is most likely false.

I.e. the average highschool graduate probably reads at 6th grade level but the average middle school graduate probably only reads at 5th or 4th grade level is a reasonable assumption.
> which I believe to be factual, not merely humorous

“Factual” and “humorous” aren’t opposites. I think “publishing in Nature is a strong signal that the results are wrong” is likely to be determined to be an opinion, regardless of whether you mean it serious or as a joke.

The basic dividing line the court has drawn between “factual claim” and “protected opinion” is whether the claim is objective and can be proven true or false.

In general it seems (to me, a non lawyer) that your signal claim isn’t an objective one. There’s no hard line about when a journal would be a “strong signal” vs a “weak signal” vs “no signal” about something being wrong. It’s not really a statement that can be proven to be true or proven to be false. Which is why I think it would be considered to be your opinion about Nature (even if a very serious opinion)
Secretary was the most populous job in the US before the advent of personal computers.
The windows phone would never win over android.

Google is the web monopolist, and would never build apps like YouTube or Maps for a Windows phone product, since it would compete with Android, and not have the market share of the iphone.

Microsoft tried making their own YouTube app, which Google had taken down. Without access to the Google web products, a new phone ecosystem is going to be dead on arrival

In another thread I mentioned the need for organized (in the sense of same place, same time) unstructured activity. Gather at the basketball court, if practice or a game break out that's good, if not that's OK.

It seems like everyone wins in that scenario, it's healthy but playful and low stress while accommodating parents' need for scheduling.

Is such a thing common? I don't hear about it much.
The ridiculous Amish model of being conservative with new technology and considering as a community if it has benefit to the society before introducing it?

It does not matter, police officers have qualified immunity in all cases except when they don't, and they don't only if there is already a legal precedent telling they don't. Yes, circular reasoning.
I've been through the whole gamut.

Homeschooling to private middle school was rough, mainly in my social circle going from a polite mixed-age group to a crass morass of the local rich kids. 18 months of that did more for my toilet humor repertoire than four years in the military.

Private to rural public school was a bit more relaxed. Less fistfights and emotional distress, but the academics were truly lacking - the district didn't have any more course material beyond Algebra 2 so I spent 8th grade math as a study hall. Chill, but ultimately wasted time.

Switched to a public charter for high school, and did a combination of home study and local community college courses. By that point I knew what I was "missing" from regular institutional education and was fine with the trade-off.
Browser clients of RESTful APIs can be stateless in a very stateful way because the DOM and JS allows the client to keep state. The statelessness of HTTP is supposed to be about the HTTP layer itself, not the application, and this is true as much about the client as about the server.

Consider a database application where the client is a browser and the server is just something like PostgREST, and then you see that the client stores state impliedly in the DOM (what rows it's displaying, which affects what the user might do next) and that the server keeps state in the database even though PostgREST itself is stateless. The whole thing is RESTful (because REST is in the name of PostgREST, duh; just kidding, it really is RESTful as designed).

I think this RPC-means-stateful / REST-means-stateless dichotomy is just not quite right, and it leads to thinking like that in TFA. All RESTful really means is that you use appropriate HTTP verbs for the actions you're doing (especially HEAD and GET for reading so you can cache where caching makes sense), use HTTP status codes as much as possible, and give entities URIs (possibly derived on the fly) -- that's really it. If you have an RPC called `CreateWidgetyThing()` you can just as well have a POST to `/widgety-things` to create them -- it really is that simple.
>we might finally get to the point where you include

I typed that comment out in the roughly 20 seconds between moving plastic blocks around while assessing the performance of some equipment. In so doing, I named the first things that came to mind. Among those things, PPP loans infamously went to many employers who used them for things other than actually making payroll, becoming a target of populist criticism. Hardly a case of blaming the little guy. It's appalling how quickly HN assumes bad faith these days.

Anyway, QE was mostly pre-Covid, so while we might blame it for broad inflationary trends, it's incongruous when looking at short-term trends in egg prices.

> Title says it all.

No, it doesn’t. I doubt something happened that caused the latency of every request (regardless of medium, so including server pings between every pair of machines on the internet, written requests to companies, etc) in the world to change (for example, did the speed of light change? Did the second get longer?), so it would help if you stated what kinds of requests you mean, and between what machines.
I'm super excited about the ability to get good quality bindings to tree-sitter! Tree-sitter is a very cool project but it needs a little love in a few regards. A better WebAssembly story, good bindings, and the ability to construct trees synthetically (to facilitate code generation) would make it a really remarkable tool.

As for rust-sitter, it's a very promising direction. The error story needs a little work. I found it pretty hard to debug issues with my grammar. And it is slightly annoying having all those extra () fields in the struct, but that's really a minor complaint.
I think this is what many technical serial-founders do essentially.
I've had many conversations with line cooks and servers at tech company kitchens. They were previously at restaurants and other food service industry gigs. The consistency and wages provided as a direct result of the benefits that Google gives its engineers made a huge difference to them.

It also gave them and their friends a real tangible alternative and bargaining chip when considering other jobs in the industry.
