The private roads in Sweden tend to be gravel tracks serving a handful of households. Or logging roads. Some exceptions exist with paved networks of small, suburban streets, but there the "arteries" are still typically public. And there are private railroads that connect a single industry or mine to the public network.

If you are on a paved road, wide enough for two cars to meet, it is almost certainly public.

Personally, I did some of what he did when I was his age, but not to the same extent and I mostly decided to chill out and enjoy college.

At that age it's really risky to do. Really hard to go to college and sit in classes for 4 years if you already know everything. I guess you could go straight to grad school or industry, but you miss out on a lot of the social maturity and friendships you develop in college.

Just as ChatGPT seems pretty capable at summarizing text, an AI with "unlimited memory" could potentially answer analytical questions about larger datasets and non-linear data (in the sense that prose is read from start-to-finish).

The OP is most excited about this ability to remember to create more structured longford outputs with internal consistency (e.g., asking questions about a fantasy universe that respects the characters that exist elsewhere in the story or universe).

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)

You raise a lot of worthwhile questions. It's certainly possible this piece isn't written in good faith, or that Haidt has become fixated on a particular theory and gone into some confirmation bias spiral. This might be part of a broader push to rein in 'big tech'. I know little to nothing about him as an individual, and have doubts about his theory here, but submitted it because it seems to have the position and traction required to become a political football with longer-term ramifications.

I just think the gender norms for men are different. Traditionally, women are valued more for their beauty and (later) their capacity to raise children. Men are traditionally valued for their capacity to be bread winners. “Women are valued for what they are. Men are valued for what they do.”

I think both ideas can be pretty toxic to their respective genders. The problems just show up differently. Social media, online bullying and body shaming hurt girls more than boys. And video game addiction, desperation due to purposelessness and suicide seem to hurt men more than women.

Every human deserves to have a life in which they flourish. We should, as much as we can, work to tackle all of these problems.
If there are any lessons to be had here, this one is certainly amongst them.
I guess this is a good place to plug a project I worked on, https://github.com/rben01/collagen . It lets you compose raster images and SVG shapes (including text) into another SVG, without re-encoding anything into a raster image. It's all just SVG. (Raster images are included via data: urls.)

I bring it up here because it's flip side of TFA. Instead of vectorizing memes, you can just take any old image you have, or a link to an image, and stick it in an SVG with some text on top, without actually having to write the SVG by hand. So an input like [this](https://gist.github.com/rben01/c0f51d8481c3ba8bd0ac108ac0b5a...) produces an output like [this](https://gist.github.com/rben01/23d01aa2668acc64cf4cffa815cb9...) (YMMV whether a linked image works in an SVG; I think in secure contexts it doesn't, but if you just copy paste the SVG into JSFiddle it should work).

Much easier than crafting memes by hand.

> Are you familiar with the ad hominem fallacy?

It doesn't apply. When an argument is backed by someone's qualifications (in this case PPL and software developer), discussing the merit of those qualifications for the discussion domain is absolutely relevant. Your first reply to this thread started off with:

> Private pilot here.

And now that I'm calling into question how relevant that is, or more to the point if you're in a position to know better than the pilot union/airline/etc, it is suddenly Ad hominem.

Cannot have it both ways, either your qualifications make your opinion more relevant or they don't. But pick a lane.

The implication with calling it Ad hominem though is that your qualifications aren't relevant, which I happen to agree with, and actually that was my point.

Windows phone was kneecapped by Sinofsky who abandoned .net for windows 8 app development for windows 8.

There were 200K apps in the windows phone store, that would have run on day one when windows 8 released. Instead Sinofsky wanted to kneecap devdiv, and created windows rt API, which was a C++ mess that led to developers completely abandoning the windows platform.

All app development on windows phone stopped when windows rt for windows 8 was announced. Windows phone was miles ahead of Android at that point. In terms of apps they had 200K in comparison to Androids 500-800K apps.
Comparison kills. Humans are not supposed to be competing with other humans for attractiveness across the entire planet. Putting numbers on things has warped the value that we give to people.

Will also note that the views of the author and their partners are pretty damn conservative having released a book entitled "The Coddling of the American Mind". The jist of the book is that american kids are too soft and too prone to victimhood, rather than having legitimate grievances about the capitalistic/individualistic social and emotional systems that exist. To me this completely ignores almost all of the positive advancements the younger generations have done especially in terms of stopping generational cycles of emotional, physical and sexual abuse - the current generation is the least abused generation in the history of the US.

Its with that lens that I view the opinion piece and still agree on some level that social media is harmful.

This is also a problem for ARM servers. Oracle's free tier is quite generous, especially if you use their free ARM offering (4 * 1 core with 6GB of RAM, no time limit on the free offering), but you can't run Mailcow on it.

This has been flagged on Github and the dev's response was "well, don't run anything important on a free server" and that was basically the end of that. I was pretty disappointed with that, but on the other hand there's nothing that prevents you from building the images yourself on ARM.
That's a good price in most metros.
I don’t have a link on hand, but what I recall regarding sex differences in suicide is that there is a higher incidence of suicide attempts among females but a lower success rate than males. This is what I know about adults, I don’t know if that includes adolescents.
Perhaps it'd have more impact if you supplied some additional context, like the gap in your ages or so.
If you're smart enough you can retain and master material very fast. People like Ed Witten and Terrance Tao probably mastered year's worth of material in months . IQ does not scale linearly, meaning going from 130 to 166 is not a 20% gains more more like multiple orders of magnitudes. It's hard to appreciate or comprehend what truly smart people are capable of doing. It's like magic, to put it bluntly.

There is no structural shortage that is provable by any hard number. There's a lot more to say regarding housing market fundamentals, but just answering your question directly
So AI must now be fed racial information, and make race equalization it's prime objective.

AI is evil, and the enemy of the people before its even here.

As an aside, I'm going to start checking diversity boxes on government paperwork so AIs put me at the top of the queue, and there's nothing beaurocrats can do.

A new race war is here, and nobody will identify as white anymore. It leads to active racial discrimination in ALL areas of government.

The real question is what race should I identify as? What race is the most disadvantaged?

I guess I need a list of races recognized by government and AI first, then to choose off that list.
I'm from the Netherlands, one of the most light-polluted areas on the planet and had my first proper dark night only in my 30s.

It was in South Africa. We were driving with a roofed jeep on some plains in search of nocturnal wildlife. Then, the driver stopped and told us to get out. It was freezing and he prepared hot chocolate from the back of the car.

He killed his search light and it got so dark that we could not see our own hands. And then we looked up.

Holy shit. I'm not a melodramatic person but this was the first time in my life that I experienced living on a planet, connected to something far greater. I mean, I knew this to be the case, but I never experienced it. Because I normally live under the clouds and a yellow haze.

I experienced it once more in Colombia where I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye.

It's sad that an experience that should be a given has become so rare. I'm especially frustrated with all the lights that have no purpose. Nobody goes to admire the architecture of your church at 3AM at night. Nor do you have to decorate your backyard so excessively with obnoxious lights whilst you are sleeping.
Eh, wait... thermodynamics...
>This is a recipe for frustrating yourself. Social media is very addictive. You're currently unhappy and you're _not_ allowed to use it, imagine how much more unhappy you'll be after having only 20 minutes. You'll only want to use it more and more once you're allowed to use it. You'll be thinking about those 20 minutes and what you'll do all day, you'll get mad when the 20 minutes is up etc.

This rings pretty true for me. I grew up in the 90's and my parents heavily policed how much television I was allowed to watch. I was allowed 5 hours of TV a week. I'd borderline obsess over how I was going to spent those 5 hours each week. I would pour over the TV guide plan out exactly what I'd watch. I ended up angry and resenting my parents as a result.

I had a lot of the same complaints, "All my friends at school are going to be discussing what they watched, I'm going to be left out and excluded etc."

At the time a lot of the same arguments being levied against social media today were being made about television, it's addictive, it's bad for children's development etc.

I was the oldest child my parents had some very strict ideas on how they wanted to raise me, by the time my younger siblings were teenagers my parents had more or less given up or relaxed all of the restrictions I had.

I absolutely agree with this, and will add that one thing I do is have other people read it and see what they think and if there is any confusion at all I don't ever chalk it up to the reader or just try to get them to understand: I try to edit my article to prevent that mistake from ever having been conceived of; too many people are just like "engh: that's just one opinion and a bunch of other people got it" without realizing how their test readership likely has a sampling bias or that 1/10 is actually really bad.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the way Canonical have integrated snaps into apt without complete transparency, i.e. you can be running along not even aware of what's going on under the covers, which seems like a bad idea for everyone from sysops to devops to devs. Is there anyone running Ubuntu that wants a package running transparently under the covers without knowing what's actually going on?

Yep, we don't charge for seats at all. Just usage. In fact, we're likely going to be adding a lower tier so that individual developers can use the tool (at about $50/month). With the direction we're going with the product, we see ourselves having several "products" long term (error monitoring, session replay, logging, etc..) so there's a lot of value in making smaller teams happy w/ pricing, even as they grow.

The way I'm setting up Mongo for my project[1] is that all items go into a single collection and use a multi key index on a `target` array so queries look like this:

Tell HN: Oops Upwork did it again
I've read some horror stories like this, but never thought that this would happen to me.
Upwork, out of the blue, suspended my account, oh, and my payments are lost like tears in the rain.

This past Friday Upwork informed me that the were some "account overlapings" with an specific client, I provided Id's, answered questions, even provided long ass screens recordings of the conversations with this client, so they could check how much of a boring illustator I am.

Still they've decided that I was doing something shady and suspended my account with no further explanation ):

I guess I'm posting this to get it off my chest, but also to warn others as to how capricious and arbitrary these platforms can be.
I am well aware, which is why I used the qualifier of "virtually".

And yes, technically if you support abortion without restriction that you avoid the dilemma presented in this article, but then you have arguably much bigger ethical dilemmas to work through, which is why support for such policies is outside the norm for those who are pro-choice.
> "Perhaps spread out over the course of many many years on your own personal time."

That is a very workable approach, so long as you consistently study. For motivation, if you'd like to get better at mathematics just as a life goal, that should be valid enough to spend time on the hobby. If you're studying primarily for personal enjoyment and fulfilment (and especially if you find joy in the process of learning), the slower pace doesn't matter as there are no expectations to learn quickly.

If you're studying mathematics or a technical subject for work, I believe it's better to earn a graduate degree from an accredited program for the resume (as a record of passing proctored exams is seen by hiring managers as strong evidence of learning), plus it's nice to be able to learn from your fellow students and ask the professor questions.

For myself, I've found it much easier to find motivation to consistently self-study mathematics outside of accredited coursework by practicing out of personal interest, as it eases up a lot of pressure about learning a certain concept by a certain time. I won't expect to learn as quickly as the person's reported progress in the submitted article, but this also makes the practice more enjoyable and easier to keep up in the long term for myself.
