> but it will help you once you get a few hits

You need to learn... this is the most important part. This is where men struggle. Men aren't struggling because they have a bunch of hits and need to just follow up. That is hardly the issue these days. Men have endless advice about how to act, respond, message, flirt, etc. There's endless services out there for that these days. The issue is that most men can't get a single match. Go look up the stats on this - most men never even get matches on dating services. Point blank. The same is true for going out to bars, clubs, etc. Almost all the men I know who have slept with dozens of women in the recent years say the same thing: Bars, clubs, etc. are absolute garbage for meeting women because it requires immense physical attraction for the women to want to spend any amount of time with you. The same is true of dating apps. And, guess what, most men aren't that physically attractive and never will be. This is where things like "warm approach" and building absolfuckingutely huge social networks is what most men are spending their time doing these days. (That and going to the gym, dermatologists, and cosmetic surgeons obsessively)

I think this might be more reflective of the time and place you grew up. It's certainly not the same now. I can't imagine any of my friends who are women going on a date with a random guy they haven't seen even a photo of yet. I mean - that's also a very old timey story, tbh. These days you put in the wrong phone number and you don't know where that call is going as cellphones put you anywhere in the world.

> I can see this is a problem but even that can be improved with local sports events, church, Meetups etc. Opportunities are EVERYWHERE.

Ooph. My man, you have been out of the game for a long time. Sports events with single women? lol - what are you on? Meetups!? Have you ever been to one in the last five years? It's a complete sausage fest for any activity. Church is mostly full of old and married people.

I'm sorry man, you're just living in the days of old. It's very boomer-esque. Looks are paramount for most men to have any success like you had today. You might not feel great looking but you were probably above avergage but more importantly - you lived in a time where your looks weren't as important.
These images are confusing. The "lit" side is where the radar beam is coming from. The perspective is looking "down" on the asteroid with "up" on the image being the direction of Earth. The radar scans a beam across the object and records the reflections. The brightness of a pixel is a function of the strength, phase, and polarity of the returned signal. The position of a pixel is a function of its distance from the receiver.

From the perspective of the radar receiver it's just receiving a series of reflections over a period of time. These are processed for the above measures and then perspective transformed to show an "overhead" image that we see here.

No it didn't. Orwell was always a socialist. He was a flawed leftie, but he was always a staunch leftist. 1984 was a mix of his problems with the Soviets and capitalism and right wing ideology. People shouldn't white wash Orwell.

A bit disappointing seeing the implicit bias in that article. The thrust seems to basically be "women are fine, men are failing and need to do better". Some choice quotes:

> Women are tiring of their stereotypical role as full-time therapist for emotionally distant men

> “Today in America, women expect more from men,” Levant said, “and unfortunately, so many men don’t have more to give.”

> The same emotional deficits that hurt men in the dating pool also hamper them in forming meaningful friendships.

At first glance the article is even-handed, but reading closely you notice that not a single trait of women is described using negative terms, but men are described as needing women to be their therapists, as "not having more to give" women, and as having "emotional deficits."

This is basically an inversion of the ancient trope that women are defective men, and just as harmful.

Having absolute rules doesn’t mean having rebellious kids. I have an absolute rule to look both ways before crossing the street and nobody had ever rebelled against that.

But I 100% agree you do have to explain and you do have to eat your own dog food and try not to be too much of a hypocrite. They need to see you believe it yourself. And try not to lie with tall tales. I think every time a non life threatening absolute statement is proven false by experience they will lose trust.

I read or heard once that if you always told your child to put a coat on before they have actually experienced the cold they naturally don’t understand why they need it and will resist wearing one. But if you let them experience the cold and involve them in the thought process they will want to put a coat on. “Let’s see how it feels outside? Oooo it’s cold! What should we do?” Etc etc. I’ve tried to do that with most things (within reason and when applicable) and I think it gives them more confidence and understanding. Like the whole tell/show/include thing. The more experiences like this where you proved to be right the more they trust you even when the disagree.
I wouldnt mind a disposable/consumable layer at the bottom of my apple watch that provides CGM capabilities. Apple watches are already way smaller than traditional fashionable watches, and i'm more than happy to wear something bulkier/sportier that has integrated CGM capabilities.

The trauma caused by being arrested and spending time in jail waiting for the system to process you is already done. Winning at court is irrelevant. What is instilled in the people is the normalization of police terrorism. We don’t have rights if exercising them means risking a traumatic encounter with police with police being immune to any consequences.
> why this effect is more observable for girls than for boys

I agree that's an interesting question. I think it's that girls are (conditioned to be?) more sociable than boys. After a divorce, many more men find themselves friendless than women, because the mens' social networks were really their wives.

The stereotype that women gossip isn't wrong; women chatting about nonsense is simply maintaining social networks. Men maintain social connnections through team sports and work. I don't happen to believe it's "conditioned" - I think women are different from men, and behave differently. On the whole. (And for "women", read "girls and women")

So if women communicate verbally more than men, it's not surprising that women make greater use of social media.

The body-image thing obviously isn't about verbal communication, and I think it's a distinct phenomenon. I see a lot of young women in the street, with lots of exposed skin despite the wintery conditions; and with orange make-up applied with a trowel (they're always staring down at their fondle-slab). I don't know why young women want to look tacky, like a porn actress.
Yeah, you've got to look at percentages here. Some boomers get sucked into the pit of social media, but far more teenagers do. More life experience (and brain development in the case of young people) won't always help, but it often will.
I think it's worth considering that we've already had a generation or two that have grown up with social media being pretty much ubiquitous. I'm in my early 30s (male) and was on myspace by age 14. Has social media contributed negatively to my mental health over the years? Probably. It's not something I think anyone views without a modicum of anxiety, but I have no frame of reference to compare the alternative to.

I wonder though, assuming this isn't new just because it's not something that was previously not measured: If there's been a more recent and drastic decline in mental health due to it in young girls due to social media, is it the general concept that's the problem, or the current implementation?
Africans don't worship the state, so the state cannot find a stable footing, and the void left gets filled with anarchy.

The reason all major nations are the way they are is the cult of the state: it combines the selfish ambition of the people and brings it to the altar of the war machine demon, quite literally. This manifests in earnest worship of the law and order for its own sake, the greatness of empire, the national security and the faceless economy as the highest idol. The war machine lives only to fight other war machines, it wants to keep everyone in its iron fist, including its own people, and make them worship its greatness. It's a dumb and selfish ruler, so all empires whither and die in its "caring" hands, and with it dies the demon. Then anarchy fills the void to multiply sufferings, until another war machine rises and gets the people under its thumb. Balancing between the two evils is the doom of every advanced nation. Prosperity is a transient and almost incidental property here.

We've paused platform hiring; we have plenty of slots for it, but we don't currently have the bandwidth to run hiring for it (and we're also metabolizing a bunch of the hires we currently made).

I'm not aware of us pausing any other roles; if they're not listed, it's likely we don't currently have openings for them.
There were a number of studies online before 2020 which arrived at the same conclusion (though not specifically mentioning COVID-19). Citing those would invite being called a science denier both by humans and social media platforms.
I'm fascinated by the fact that this seems incredibly hard, yet not so impossible that Apple is trying.

Is there an ELI5 of the basic principle of how it would work (or at least the direction being pursued), and what the main obstacle is, and why we think we'll be able to overcome it to some degree?

Besides athletes, I can't help but think it could be a huge step forwards for weight loss as well. I'm aware of the concept (for non-diabetics) of only eating once your blood sugar is below a certain level, and never eating so much that it goes over a certain higher level.
The majority of egg production goes to commercial production/food service/etc, the consumer gets what ever is left over so a small drop in production can be very noticeable at the grocery store.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I would guess that maybe the peer group is the core of the problem. Probably even most, though of course far from all, teenagers realize that issues they might have with people on social media whom they do not know in real life can be resolved by simply not interacting with them. Maybe social media just makes it easy for the peer group to be present in a person's life almost 18 hours a day instead of as in the past, just a few hours a day usually.

That's awful to have to go through, and hopefully she'll make a full recovery with time.

The question though is whether or not being vaccinated would have prevented that. There are claims that it reduces chances for long covid, and claims otherwise. And there are people out there who claim to have ended up with life changing injuries from the shots.

Either way, the major takeaway from this though is that it was indeed bullshit to go after people for forgoing the shots when they'd already gotten covid before they had the chance for a vaccine.
I think it depends quite a bit on things like angle and speed. I'm sure that if it came in behind Earth, in a similar orbit, at an angle it'd be very different from a head on 90 degree angle collision with it headed in the opposite direction. Size alone is probably not a great factor to estimate damage. A starting point, but not final word.
I'm happy, or at least as happy as I can be, but I don't consider the cycle of life as something I want to see repeated with successive generations.

One lap around the course is plenty. If others want to bring more horses in, they're welcome to; as for me I'm not interested.
I haven't used Azure DevOps scale sets, but it looks similar, assuming it is orchestrating a persistent cache disk.

If you're not using Azure DevOps, or even if you are, you can use `depot build` from any CI provider or from your local machine, anywhere you'd run `docker build` today, and the speed and cache are shared everywhere. And you don't need to configure any infrastructure. We also orchestrate both Intel and Arm machines depending on what type of build you need to do (or both for multi-platform). That can be important if you need to run on Arm in production, or if you have developers using new MacBooks.

We're working on more Docker-specific features as well, we plan to directly integrate things like SBOMs, container signing, build analytics and insights for what happens inside the Docker build, etc into Depot, there are some interesting things we can do having control of the execution environment.

On Twitter recently a Nigerian business man shared some of his frustrations which I found insightful.

He started a bar. Yet later discovered that his business partner was reselling booze via the back door, pocketing this money for himself. Next, the business man started a transport business. Every driver he hired mysteriously got "robbed", which means they resold the fuel. They are just anecdotes, but if widespread, it must be near impossible to get any development going. It's constantly sabotaged by your peers.

On a TV program, I saw a Nigerian woman complaining how the city fails to maintain drinking water infrastructure, specifically pointing to a broken pipe. It was in this broken state for 13 years and as a result she had to walk an additional 30 mins for her water, every day. It's bad that government is this careless but looking at the broken pipe, I'd say its 1 hour of work to repair for a pro. So maybe crowd fund that pro with some locals and get it done?

One of my friends has a construction company that infrequently does some jobs in Africa. He really wants to do things right so exclusively hires local people and offers them double the usual pay. Guess what happens? They don't show up the next day. Literally living life by the day.

I personally visited Madagascar a few times. All over the country you see structures crumbling. You can tell somebody had the right idea and built something of value, but not even minor cheap repairs are carried out. So it's all falling apart from pure indifference.

Our guide, a local, explained how there was a tree planting project where people are literally paid per tree. Most planted a handful and went home.

I tried to help out in ecotourism by explaining how they're drastically undercharging. Make little booklets and sell them. Charge 5 times more for your drinks, they'd still be cheap by western standards.

Nobody cared. It's just baffling, this widespread apathy. Simple and effortless opportunities presented on a silver platter, and it's just met with complete indifference.

There's different ways to frame the issue. You could say they underperform by the standards of global capitalism. Another way to look at it is that some/many reject performance culture altogether.

For sure there are also other factors at play, historical, geopolitical, but a culture that "doesn't even try" is quite self-defeating.

Most incel opinions I've met are from men who are well educated, financially successful, socially fluent, dress decently, and exercise. The reason they have incel opinions is because they've done everything society told them that should attract women but they're still not getting anything.

It's no wonder most single men in FAANG are incels (only ones I found to not be single usually met their spouse in college or got arranged marriages). They're all ivy league educated, work hard, and do a lot of crazy shit for hobbies but ultimately look like a nerd and that's an incredibly oversaturated market.
> The trail was well-marked at first, and he made it to Taylor Cabin without any issue. A few miles beyond that, however, the trail became rough and overgrown, and Powers soon realized he was lost. For about a half-hour to 40 minutes, he attempted to pick up the trail again before giving up and doubling back to the cabin, arriving there at roughly 6 p.m.

He was merely an easy 3 miles from his car when he decided to put through exploring the wilderness for a second time, having gotten lost the first. He could easily have walked back to his car. If the fact that he chose to walk somewhere he knew he could not find his way and with no supplies to sustain him is not "creating his own circumstances" I do not know what it is. Mistakes happen etc but here we are talking about a person who, the second day, chose to wander the wilderness totally unprepared instead of essentially getting his ride back home.

I think LLMs are running up against fundamental limitations in the approach (hallucinations in particular) that will not be fixed unless truly new techniques are discovered.

So I do actually think we're likely hitting a plateau.

Yes, most news on many topics like inflation reports, job numbers, etc. is just news reporters restating exactly what the government official says. This was very apparent under Covid when news agencies just repeated what was said with their own bias spin thrown on it. Most attempts at independent journalism that started with skepticsm was instantly lambasted as fake news or misinformation.
Getting back to why we're all here: at least "make" them jailbreak or root the device to get around some of these apparently arbitrary limits!

I don't see why you think so, but I'm interested in understanding better. I might explained myself poorly and infer the meaning of my words differently than you do without prior understanding.
