Just logically, if you think of the scale that the Cartels are working in, there is a missing link in the narrative here. Mexican cartels are completely intertwined with the Mexican government. This is well known in Mexico, as is well known that the US is the greatest consumer of these substances.

Organizations at this scale have infrastructure that rivals a multi-national corporations. But in our collective imaginary, we never talk about who receives it in the US. The story goes cartels -> ??? -> small to medium street dealers. At the scale of this problem, we are simply dealing with a level of sophistication that requires connections in VERY high places of the US government.
This is an interesting call-out because a pencil is a (simple) machine which is used to create drawings with human input. So this ruling suggests that a sufficiently complex machine, even with human input, is not being used to create drawings but is instead the thing which is creating the drawings. That "sufficiently complex" line is being drawn somewhere between Photoshop and Stable Diffusion.

> At my kid's school the target is no phones until 8th grade.

Public or private?

I've got a lot of insight into local school districts in my area and a little into local private schools (good ones—not poor-quality evangelical schools for parents who don't want their kids taught about evolution, or something like that) and the public schools have all completely given up on policing phones and wouldn't dare suggest that parents ought not be giving their 3rd graders smartphones, while the private schools both police them more heavily and seem to serve way fewer families inclined to give preteens a smartphone to begin with.

Feels like the beginning of an even-greater class divide in education, to me.

> by educating us on the regimes

No. This is HackerNews. Not some random forum. The education and intelligence levels in this forum are supposed to be much higher. Even in most far-right nationalist American forums people stopped making such knee-jerk retorts that 'require education'. From FOIA requests to those countries making their documents public, there isn't anything left to debate, discuss, leave aside 'not know about'.

If someone educated and intelligent is making such utterly ignorant sounding commentary about this in such a forum, at this point it cant be ignorance, it definitely cant be lack of intelligence, it can only be bad faith. And there is no reasoning with bad faith - like how your last sentence demonstrates.

I would argue, that the economical situation is not very influential on kids and teenagers. Having friends and hanging out with them, is much more important. Kids don’t need a lot. As long as they have food, clothes, a place to sleep and go to school, it should be okay-ish. They don’t need to go to the cinema to have fun, they can just meet up in a park or play soccer/basketball to have a good time.

>misogyny, it might be a proxy for self-esteem

Seems to me misandry would be a better proxy for self-esteem. I do know men who are very much misandrist. I'm not just talking about them "going woke" I'm talking about kids whose fathers abandoned them or whatever and they feel a lot of resentment when they look around and see this is a common story. As men collectively become more productive, more empathetic, less toxic, and all this stuff I only hear more and more people pleading that we ratchet up scrutiny of men to the point Gilette think's it's a good idea to run an ad directed by women about how men need to do better and do this and that wrong and just need to get their shit together [1].

Similarly, I would say that self-hating racism is a better proxy for self-esteem than racism in general. In fact this shit is out of control in Incel communities to the point they have terms like "currycels", "ricecels", etc. You know why they feel this way? Is it because they themselves are racist towards towards others? No it's generally because they look at dating site stats and see how women are racist towards them (in a highly specific context) and internalise the racism of others and hate themselves. Oddly I don't think I've EVER heard somebody suggest that women should be less racist towards men to improve men's self-esteem, even though I've seen such racism CRUSH men's self-esteem over and over.

I don't know I see the idea that the key towards self-esteem is holding people other than yourself in high esteem and think they're totally absurd on its face. If an Indian Man or Black Man or White Man or Asian Man doesn't like people like themselves, if they don't look up to proud Malcolm X like role models, their self-esteem is always going to be shit. Men are generally portrayed as either oppressor or oppressed, either way they have cause to feel bad about themselves.

In terms of UI, Windows Phone was so far ahead of Android and iOS at the time (and in many areas still beats both of them. Android is still a mess). The Nokia Lumia series of phones also were solid with great cameras in an era of plastic Android phones.

I agree Microsoft flubbed the strategy, same with Zune where they had a technically superior product but no commitment.

Platform reboots killed any developer momentum they built - Windows Phone 8 apps were not backwards compatible with Windows Phone 7 which itself was a clean break with Windows Mobile. A lot of trending apps like Instagram and Snapchat never released apps on the platform, so you had to use third party knock-offs that chased private APIs. Microsoft did build some great social media integrations that tied your contacts into a single local profile across platforms (Foursquare, Twitter, Facebook).

They also kept rebranding and shuffling services on the phones - for example Zune became Xbox Music became Groove.
Hello! I wrote the article so happy to answer this. It is partially feature engineering but partially not. It’s essentially using feature engineering to curate/correct a dataset, but a neural network as the actual end model without explicit input of these features(we call them quality metrics). I abbreviated a good amount of the process in the article so that it wouldn’t run forever, but essentially we allowed ChatGPT to select and write its own features and then used the strategies it came up with to apply these features to improve the dataset.

In terms of if it’s realistic in practice, the answer is yes. Some teams have a dearth of data, but many AI companies we work with have more data than they can use, and it’s more a question of how to sample, curate, and correct the data and labels they have to improve their models rather than collect new data. Great questions!

> Servers love tip out. They can make hundreds a night and possibly even what a junior SWE can (pro rata) if they’re good.

Bollocks. Maybe at the fanciest, high-end locations, and only on busy days, i.e. Fridays or Saturdays.

Maybe a Jr SWE in, like Mississippi, but there is no way even the top 10% of servers are pushing tech hub SWE salaries. And even if the pure-cash gets kind-of close, there is often no healthcare, no 401k, no bennies, no bonus; the TC wouldn't be close at all.

Many states only pay $2.18 per hour for tipped jobs; 15/hr would be utterly amazing and 25 would be great. No server I know would ever push back on that, save for the tiny, tiny handful working at high-end locations. Yeah the dude working at the trendy bar in NYC with $33 highballs might be able to pull near six-figures while handling a cocaine habit, but I'd bet my hat that a majority of servers would make more money if they 25/hr.
Agree, its unfortunate that most of the after school sports program start getting to be like prepping for professional/collegiate level sports once they reach high school.

> And people don't complain as much about those two

Why do you opt to label plain descriptions of Rust as being difficult as 'complaint'? There's nothing inherently wrong with something being difficult to learn. Au contraire, I would have thought, unless the difficulty is unnecessary, which isn't something I've seen levelled much against Rust. The Rust Foundation has 'Flattening the learning curve' [sic] on its 2024 roadmap: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/04/04/lang-roadm.... Is that a 'complaint', or just a reasonable response to an empirical reality?

The complaint, inasmuch as there is one, is against the loud subsection of the Rust community which swamps any reference to Rust's difficulty with "no it's dead easy! You're just wrong!" (they leave the 'and probably thick' as an obvious inference, stiffly maintaining the rictus).
But they are not a software company at the core. They need to be to pull this off.

> Egg production fell 6.6% [1]. Egg prices rose 60%.

It seems plausible to me that the price elasticity of demand[1] for eggs is small - that is to say, even if the price of eggs doubles, people will only reduce their egg consumption by a small amount.

If the prices jumped by 60%, and now the shelves were full of an abundance of expensive eggs, that would be suggestive that the reason for the spike in price is pure profiteering.

But I have seen no evidence that a large number of eggs are going unused because prices have spiked. So I think it's plausible that the increased prices now really do reflect an increase in demand.

Eggs are a scarce resource. When the supply of eggs falls faster than the demand for eggs, the amount of resources required to obtain eggs will go up. Those resources can be money, or they can be time spent going from store to store searching for eggs, or they can be social connections in terms of knowing who can get you eggs and leaning on those connections. And those who have the ability to procure more eggs will now be able to demand more resources for those eggs.

You can say that it's unfair that Cal-Maine is getting a windfall here, instead of letting the grocery stores have a windfall, or instead of requiring people to burn time and gas looking for eggs while the price of the eggs they find remains the same. But I don't think you can say that Cal-Maine is the reason there is an egg shortage.

At the risk of engaging in a thread started by a likely troll: the Big Bang hypothesis has a few inconsistencies. For example, different distance candles disagree on the Hubble constant. Now JWST is finding unusually old galaxies. Etc…

Bingo. The entire thing is a psyop designed to artificially limit and homogenize groups to make them more predictable and easier to control.
I think this might be whataboutism. It’s clear to me the original poster was speaking exclusively on the social media aspect and the fact that social media does not have a similar causal effect of mental illness specifically on boys, and so I don’t know how addiction/obesity/etc contribute here. I agree there may be other effects on men, but it seems very clear here that the original poster was talking about social media specifically.
The flip side of that, is that there are a fair amount of parents, who get incredulous if their child doesn't have the dream social standard that they themselves found it easy to achieve. How many people in their mid-20s today are homeowners without student debts?

Overall, I don't understand this "that's fine."

No. It's not. Which is to say, why do we value "CEO makes money?" That's NOT valuable to me. Microsoft doesn't pay me, therefore the pure question of whether or not they make money is literally meaningless to me, and should be meaningless to you if you are not in their employ. I'm not saying it's bad either, but it's such a weird gut reaction.

Which is to say -- if you find out the CEO is making the company more money, you still do not yet have enough information as to whether they're good...

> Only a very small minority of people have careers or relationships worth emulating, and they should be setting examples for everyone else to aspire to.

Of those that have relationships worth emulating I doubt they are parasocially broadcasting it for the world to see. To the contrary, most of these images that you see on social media are heavily curated and manicured and don't really reflect reality.

I have actually came up with a similar setup (accidentally with the same typewriter model so I've gratefully used keycode table created by the author of this article). I didn't replace the keyboard though. My chip mod is working in parallel to the existing keyboard. I'm using RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico clone) with multiple assembler-programmed PIO state machines doing great job intercepting keyboard signals as well as emulating them in real time.

I've also coupled it with a 1975 vintage IMSAI 8080 computer emulation running Z80pack[2] on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a touchscreen attached.

Yes, maybe. I do know Linux pretty well and don't consider sysadmin costs a big drain on my own company or time. I can see that it'd be much more expensive if you hire people who don't have much UNIX experience.

On the other hand, I've experienced first hand how cloud costs can explode uncontrollably in absurd ways. One company I worked at had a cloud cost crisis and they weren't even serving online services, just shovelling money into Azure for generic dev services like VMs for load tests, DBs for testing, super-slow CI agents, etc. They never managed to properly fix this because of the mentality you express here: a few hundred bucks a month here, a few hundred there, everyone gets access to spin up resources and it's all worth it because we're all soooo valuable. Then one day you realize you're inexplicably burning millions on subscription services and cloud spend, yet nobody can identify quite why or on what, or how to push costs down. Death by a thousand cuts, it was quite the revelation. Free cloud credits are murder, because they embed a culture of profligacy and "my time is too valuable to optimize this". By the time the startup credits run out it's too late.

That's a very well-argued response, congratulations. I will only take issue with the last sentence. I don't know the studies, but most of my friends from school who were smoking in moderation back then, ended up as heavy smokers as adults. Those who avoided it completely (partly due to stricter parenting) largely seem to stay smoking-free in later life.
We know why. But few authors are going to come out and talk about that. They do not want to be perceived in the wrong way. It should be very obvious to anyone who has spent some time on social media and has thought critically about the topic.
One little anecdote, many HUD loans are coming to the end of COVID government-sponsored CARES act forbearance periods and some of those may be eligible for 40 year refinance options, both extending the terms of mortgages and lowering monthly payment amounts.

The Big Bounce[1] hypothesis is a model that "suggests that we could be living at any point in an infinite sequence of universes". So while our current universe may not be infinite there may be some yet undiscovered infinite/eternal natural process that gives rise to universes.
