Absolutely, for statistics and visualization I think R and its packages are (sometimes) superior. But GPT responses don't generally offer those kinds of nuances; the claim is that the packages are "more mature," period. And it's for good reason that the _most_ mature Python packages, e.g. numpy and pandas, are used by data scientists in production pretty much everywhere.
The 15-24 range looks like it had the biggest increase compared to other cohorts in 2013-2017, and looks like it's in the top 3 overall from 2011-2020, at least from eyeballing this chart.

Of course there are good faith arguments, you probably just don't agree with them.

The most convincing argument is that I don't want social media companies to have access to my ID. Remember, even websites like HN and Pornhub would need to verify your age with your ID.
My understanding is this isn't possible because of the size/invasiveness.

We need significantly better power sources that are either have lots of energy capacity, xor some energy capacity and able to charge while inside the body.

Either version they need to be small enough that the procedure is cheap and the body doesn't reject the device. Additionally, anything like this would need to go through regulatory bodies for medical devices, and would not be approved for "healthy people" (i.e. significantly reduced adoption).

Roughly putting us back to non-invasive.

I spent three years driving around Africa, exploring the remote corners of thirty five countries and really sinking into the culture as much as possible. After six months I thought I knew a lot. Six month later I learned that was all rubbish and started again. And so on.

I spent a few months in South Africa, and I felt less safe there than any other country on the continent. It is extremely edgy.

I genuinely believe the magic of Mandela was stopping the (immense) majority of blacks from slaughtering the (extremely small) minority of whites for what they did. I had tears streaming down my face for hours in the Apartheid museum in Jburg.

With Mandela long gone, many of the problems I saw in South Africa, I think, are the result. "It's time we got you back", etc.

It pains me to say it, but I'll be shocked it the country doesn't tear itself apart in the coming decades.

Countries like Botswana feel like the polar opposite, where blacks and whites have always lived together peacefully, and work together to make the country better for everyone.

For context, I'm white.
The western model is built on patriarchy, they just continually import people from patriarchies to supply western work forces. Without patriarchy the western model would collapse because westerners aren't interested in creating a non-patriarchal model of society which might reduce their standards of living and force them to expend labour on things like childrearing.

It's an out of sight, out of mind patriarchy. The amish are so offensive partially because they genuinely are extreme, but also in part because they're self-sustaining so they can't hide and abstract away such cruelty. In any case, there's perhaps a middle path between the extremes of amish society and "Patriarchy for the poor" western society.
As someone who has done a lot of the hiring side for technical positions, I never care about a cover letter. I can't remember the last time I saw one.
I don't know what to tell them. It is basically a commodity, especially for young children there isn't a lot of differentiation once health and safety concerns are taken care of as there isn't much "enrichment" a daycare can realistically supply for an infant or toddler. Moreover, any provider of a service like this will have to compete on the market for care-givers to do the labor.
Ah, sarcasm.

We've been using Depot for the past two months, and without changing anything the builds became faster (compared to our CI).

Good luck Depot team and keep up the good work!
There is also basic forms of protection you should put in front of everything you make public, in order to reduce the attack surface. Firewall that blocks everything by default, strip all headers unless you veto them manually, aggressive rate-limiting you increase the limit only for specific IPs and so on.

Putting up any type of software on a unprotected server even in 2006 is begging for trouble.
> The members can rate each other in a friendly environment

> Employers at first communicate with the guild and only have to evaluate 5-10 candidates.

Yeah, no. It's not friendly when there's an obvious hierarchy and competition for jobs involving large amounts of money. And who decides the criteria? How are other developers even supposed to "rate" you if they haven't worked with you?

Putting all software engineering hiring in the hands of one central authority is one of the worst ideas ever. It's good when different employers have different hiring criteria. What sucks is when a bunch of employers cargo cult on the same hiring methods. We need more diversity in hiring, not less.
The ability to define the grammar via high quality Rust bindings is pretty inspired imo. It gets you waaaay better bindings than the homogenous Node type that tree-sitter provides you.
Out of curiosity, why do that? The Dexcom app already has the ability to generate detailed logs that you can just email to yourself. It’s actually a very handy feature.

I think it's somewhat important to ask why this effect is more observable for girls than for boys, and Haidt does not seem to really reflect on that. Social media in and of itself is really just an accelerant for the particular set of social expectations we stack on girls and women around appearance and how that relates to self-worth. Boys have more capacity to transcend social media's focus on image and beauty by finding other ways to be valued as human beings. What does it say about our society that we are not equipping girls and women in the same way?

I'm a little confused about Haidt's pearl-clutching in this instance, when he has elsewhere argued against "coddling" and bugaboos like "intersectionality" and "identity politics". While there is certainly much to criticize in these areas, you would think one solution to this issue would be to advance a society in which women are valued equally to men. Reading between the lines of his body of work, it appears Haidt wants to return to a type of mid-century traditionalism, where children and young people are both protected and challenged by traditional adult authority figures (who are conveniently mostly people like him and his collaborators). I'm not so sure that's the direction we should be going in, but heavy-handedly cutting off the exploration at "social media as cause" certainly precludes any further analysis of an underlying dynamic.

We, at https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces, had been using Depot.

Before depot we faced extreme slow builds for ARM-based images on github machines. However, using Depot helped us reduce the image build time from 2 hours (with an emulator) to just 3 minutes.

It's not even that strong because of the "reasonably believed" bit: they just have to plausibly deny knowledge of precedent explicitly barring their (hyper-specific) action.
Seeing how langchain is gaining popularity and development rapidly, I would agree. Chaining lots of specific models and tools seems to be the way forward.

I think it's important to remember that high school is a critical time where a lot of people shift focus to their friend groups and their own reputation therein. Social Media changes the terrain, but the game is not that different. I remember back to my own high school experience and how my range of activities narrowed dramatically and there was a lot more focus on who's dating whom and what the cool kids are up to.

All of this is to say that most people outgrow this stage eventually. High school doesn't last forever.
Yeah. Also full of GPT-3isms like "ultimately the choice ... comes down to the specific project and its ... requirements" and not nearly contrarian enough

A bot focused on the output of HNers would insist on providing arguments against going through Google's interview process in the first place and suggestions that the correct answer to "Python or R" should be Haskell or Julia and would never suggest prioritising emotional vulnerability or being a happy person!
Here's the situation. The market is biased against an individual such that the competing offers she receives are less than those of her coworkers. Therefore, the company pays her less. Is that legal?
Isn't Nigeria one of the fastest growing countries in the world right now? I haven't visited but I often watch videos about it (and other upcoming African nations) and it seems like Nigeria is on the path to greatness!
I got... oh, three of my first four software jobs, by walking in and asking. Including my second full-time role post-college. The first of these would have been around 2000, the last around 2010 or '11.

The other one of those four just came to me directly through my network.

Now that I think about it, of the 7ish jobs I've held in about 23 years, I don't think a single one came from "fill out this online application form". I've done those, but it's never gotten me a job. Recruiters, responding to a very-basic listing on Craigslist that didn't involve some online form and was all-email, network, and just walking in. The "normal" process, not once, I don't think. But I also think the normal process takes a lot longer than any of my job searches have (longest was about a month? Most two weeks or less) to yield results, in most cases, so IDK, maybe it would eventually have worked for me.

I guess maybe the '00s are onion-on-my-belt-territory now, though.

[EDIT] Incidentally, I do think it helps to be fairly young when attempting this. Putting on my other-side-of-the-table hat, I'd probably be more likely to have positive feelings about a 24-year-old walking in like this and asking for some time, than a 34-year-old. 24 year old does it, "huh, interesting, they clearly have some amount of spirit or hunger to them, let's see what they're like, I can find a few minutes"; 34-year-old: "WTF are you doing?" I've not attempted it since crossing the 30-year-old barrier.
> The parents weren't very concerned. I guess when you have 6 kids, it's like you have "spares".

As a parent of 4, having multiple children does tend to put things in perspective, but really what makes the biggest difference is probably that you can't physically helicopter all of them. So you have to give up that mindset. Not that you don't still need to keep an eye on them.
It's useful to have a long unbroken cultural history passing down a set of habits, norms and social institutions useful for highly complex large scale agricultural/industrial society.

Building cultural capital is hard.

That's probably the biggest factor.

There's also the possibility (I don't know of much evidence either way) of differences in mental traits, not necessarily in a less intelligent sense, but in an adapted to a particular way of life sense. Individual humans aren't fully general intelligences and some of us have more skills in some areas than others, this may also apply across people's groups that diverged in lifestyle a hundred generations ago, leading to slightly different specializations that nonethless make it slightly harder to function in an environment made for another group.
I need to temper my excitement. What Webb is seeing is some red dots. We didn't expect to see those red dots (not so red, not so big, etc) but they're there.

One interpretation is that these are older (more red shifted), larger (more stars) galaxies. But that's just one explanation. A pretty good one, but still, it could also be something totally mundane and boring. Remember FTL neutrinos?

I'll be ecstatic if the existing model of the universe needs a massive update based on this new data. But it's important to search as hard as we can for answers that aren't the one we really want to see.
I just checked. I don't see anything like this in the Play Store, sadly.
Question on the ML side of this post: How are these "parameterizations" used? Is this really just feature engineering with a new name? Are they including this information when training the model?

In the article, they mention using the new labels to build a "more balanced" dataset -- is this a realistic possibility in practice when most teams still have a dearth of data?
Jimmy Carter is my archetype of an American. A nuclear engineer who served in the Navy, and then worked on his family peanut farm, became a citizen President, and then returned to his small Georgia hometown to live out his days while doing humanitarian work. Even then, he wasn't above working with his hands to build houses for Habitat for Humanity.
The ultra-wide monitors sound nice, but they don't really offer that much space; it's basically just two 27" displays side by side.

I currently have two 27" and three 24" displays on my desk. I already physically move to focus on specific tasks (eg. I have email on a vertical monitor on the side, so when answering emails I'll roll over a bit to the side with my chair).

With a TV, I could have one big seamless area instead.

The one thing that does worry me about the TV is the lack of tilt at the top -- everything in the top half of the monitor will be hard to see because of the angle.

When I work with pen and paper, my entire desk is full of stuff, a dozen sheets and books, printouts and diagrams, all visible at a glance.

I don't see why I should limit myself to a much smaller area when working digitally.

The question about existence of time before singularity does not have an answer, rather than affirmative no.

A singularity means that all timelines goes through it, but it is impossible to make continues extension of the timelines past the singularity in the current physical models. That literally means that anything is possible with the timeline prior that. The timeline can jump, be replaced by a set of random points, became a multidimensional surface, go back etc. It may even indeed disappear, but we do not know.
Yes, obesity is probably a huge factor here. Excess adipose tissue suppresses testosterone levels and is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction. Unfortunately, some of those fat young men have just lost interest, or can't get it up.

Endocrine disruptor chemicals such as pthalates also seem to be part of the problem.

I see. So it's $50/month plus .05 per minute of build time after 60 minutes is up in that month. Let's say you need 10 hours of building per week, so that'd be another $120/month on top. I'm not sure how fast these builds would go with your setup, maybe 10 hours a week is a lot. But we're still talking like $170/month for something with user limits and fairly restricted resources. For less than that I can get a 16 core AMD Rome machine with nearly 8 TB of flash split across two drives, which should eat image builds for breakfast. The extra cost is a bit of Linux sys admin which can be fully automated (apt-get install unattended-upgrades and a little more on first install).

Clearly from other responses in this thread there are people who feel this is a good deal, so best of luck to you. But I'm kinda reminded here of 37signals saying they can save $7M over 5 years by leaving the cloud. It seems the goal here is to dig people out of performance problems they get by using one type of cloud service, by selling them another type of cloud service!
Perhaps it isn't a modern legal system then...
Without a name or other PII this seems like a misplaced concern.
>Patriarchy in all decisions. The old men make choices for families based on what they know is best

Is this not a thing where you are? Americans(and I am one) speak much about patriarchy but still uphold it strongly. Even countries like Indonesia and Pakistan have already elected female leaders. I see people say things like this, and yet many American women would still call it a patriarchy in every sense.

>Children are a tradable commodity.

? That's kind of a huge accusation and I'm not sure what it means. That could also be describing surrogacy which is widely accepted in our society.

>If you upset an elder, your life is over.

This is true in a lot of places-- including the US senate-- and is often the result of power concentrating in the hands of those with the most tenure. While they may lean on this more in their culture, it's still not exactly unrecognizable behavior.

>You're raised speaking German first, so that you can "learn your heritage"

There are immigrants(and most European countries) that do that. It's hard to teach a second language once a child is speaking English with their peers. If you teach the non-english language first, it's easy for them to learn English as a second language in school where they'll pick it up naturally speaking with peers.

> If you are sent off to college for whatever reason (my neighbor was a college educated Amish; he was the legal representative for the community) they treat you like an outsider.

Sounds difficult. I won't deny there I'm sure there are peculiarities about their culture worth disagreeing with.

>Imagine being in your 30's, with just an 8th grade education, and your entire community, family, and support system turns their back on you and yours.

Doesn't this happen to trans youth all the time? Minus the education thing.

>But they get a pass, because their beards and hats look funny.

That's not why they're not discussed more often. It's because they mostly stick to themselves so people don't bother looking into their communities. This can happen with highly insular communities, it's not an excuse but it is what it is.
That creator seems to have found some help eventually, because their channel isn't age-restricted now and they're still posting videos on YT.

The idea is to refer ppl you want to work with based on prior experience. I don't think they want you to on a wild goose chase on Github, StackOverflow or LinkedIn.

this is satire, surely?
Yes, correct. That's been the case for a while now and is part of the reason why they've gotten away with murder, theft etc even in circumstances where video evidence obviously implicates them.

In the future we will look back on unrestricted access to social media for children the way we look back at smoking ads targeting children today.
> people in Western societies don’t kill themselves because of wars or collective threats

The dozens of French white teens who joined the war in Syria in 2015.

The thousands of English teens who freely enrolled against Franco, the dictator who took over Spain in 1936, while they absolutely didn’t have to, as it was not part of the conscription? And if, once there, they deserted, they were legible for the death penalty.

While underage. Indeed, many examples of teens engaging into collective theoretical threats.
Not sure I can correlate these things. We just have 1 little data point, a recent surge of articles about layoffs in the news. The real labour stats are showing record employment levels.

Would it make sense to hire as many people as possible right now, to lock their salaries in at a much lower price than it will be in the future, due to inflation (if they think the pivot is coming)? Just throwing random ideas out but I do know one thing, I know very little :P
Dovecot, Roundcube, ClamAV, Rspamd are all battle-tested and reasonable choices, but the choice of Haraka, a Node.js-based SMTP server, feels dubious.

Have you missed the people dying in major, atypical weather events? As climate change increases, those events and death will increase. Hurricanes, flood, drought, etc. Tropical diseases migrating into new territory are another thing to look forward to.

Once things get bad enough, you start to have population migrations and political instability. Add in hunger and thirst and that leads to societal collapse and war.

Climate change gets attention because it has such wide ranging effects, both primary and secondary. Yes, there are other risks. Some, like asteroids and diseases do have people watching for them though we could always do more.
Right now, in the warm state of being able to think calmly about the situation, you'd have absolutely no reason to think they'd stop hitting you with the wrench once you've given in to their demands.

However, in the time itself, your brain would go into it's 'survival mode' and logically tell itself that if you give in to their demands, they'll possibly let you live.

Being able to override that preset state of mind is very hard to do, and why hostage-type situations work; whether you or a loved one is the hostage in question.
