I honestly wonder if you've actually ever been robbed at gunpoint. The kind of long drawn out process where you have time to instantiate a local crypto wallet and check it out and see if the story must match up is rare, and more like in the movies. And if the robber does not act extremely quickly and keep the tempo of surprise up they will quickly find out they're not the only one with glocks.

Slow, methodical, systematic robbing of any significant fraction of the populace is typical an exercise done by government or de facto government. You know, the people in control of bank accounts in the first place.
Boys also had an increase in self-reported mental illness, so your assumption is wrong. The article is claiming that the increase is larger for girls than boys. However there could be reasons that it's now more acceptable for girls to report mental illness and not for boys, so it doesn't really resolve the sex comparison issue.

BTW the chart you linked shows that we had higher rates in the 1980s than now. It makes the recent increase look like it's just part of a long-term cyclical trend.
Seems incredible hubris we can write 4 equations [1] and control some kind of switches at 10^-8 meters to multiply matrices and handle decision-making with sub-second (10^-9) accuracy in the "real world" of objects beyond 10^-3 meters.

Science can predict if it will rain tomorrow: "[a] seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time." [2]

Feel free to hubristically read articles such as Cosmic Evolution of Viscous QCD Epoch in Causal Eckart Frame [3] and tell us all where they are wrong. An introductory article into cosmology and inflationary theory [4].

Getting vaccinated was not just for yourself, but for those around you that couldn't. So in a sense, kind of like law 0

I wonder how much of this movement (which I support) is a function of business builders/entrepreneurs/founders having worked OVER 40 hours a week to create their businesses, and this ethos carrying over into the culture of businesses.

Boys may be less likely to either admit that they have depression or classify their feelings as depression in the first place. This seems consistent with how we differently socialize the two sexes.

Neither of the main GPU makers have any motivation to support this, that I can see but I think if it happened it would be a very good thing.
this makes sense to me. I skimmed what he took and it says he learned real analysis, a pretty challenging course. It's one thing to listen to the lectures and solve some problems and it's another to be given a difficult homework on a very tight deadline and perform well, same for exams.

I think it's extremely cool though and really a great idea but I am cautious about saying he has the equivalent of those undergraduate degrees.
A slightly less "new" report from a 1931 issue of the American Political Science Review:

Recent crime surveys have shown that the majority of contested felony cases are never tried in open court, being settled instead by the striking of a “bargain” between the defendant and the prosecuting officer. Administrative discretion has thus largely supplanted judge and jury alike. The practice has been severely criticized by Professor Moley, who characterizes it as “ psychologically more akin to a game of poker than to a process of justice,” being “an attempt to get as much as possible from an unwilling giver” rather than “a search for truth.” In view of the technicalities and delay that were permitted to develop in connection with jury trials, the utilization of some such avenue of escape would seem to have been inevitable. The practice may be expected to develop still further unless judicial procedure is improved to a point where a trial becomes an efficient means of disposing of contested criminal cases.

In most jurisdictions, the only alternative to such a compromise agreement has been a jury trial. Trial by a judge alone, the right to a jury being waived, has been regarded as of doubtful constitutionality. Recent decisions of the federal Supreme Court and of the supreme court of Illinois, sustaining such non-jury trials even in the absence of statutory authorization, have gone far toward dispelling this doubt, and warrant an examination of the practical working of the waiver plan in those jurisdictions where it has been given a trial.

I‘ve got young boys, so I can’t speak directly to the fears that parents have about their daughters.

I think the door can swing both ways. While consumers can take tobacco as a playbook, there was recent reporting about the stickiness of iOS with Gen Z. I can imagine there a number of people want to (indirectly) keep it that way.

Platforms will come out with some feature that mitigates the social outrage, creates FUD around the true scale of the problem, and kicks the can down the road a little further while millions more get addicted for a little while longer.
Sure, but I will limit myself to one, which is fairly exemplary.

The question is to show that R2 is second countable. This means that it contains a countable base for the topology. The usual way to do this is to pick open balls with rational centers and rational radii, and use a little finesse to find one around any point in an arbitrary open ball.

The Author's answer was to take the set of all open balls, and pick only those with natural number radii. This is neither countable nor a base for the (usual) topology on R2. This answer has a check mark on it.

In 1977, it snowed in the Bahamas.. now figure the chill of 75 mph winds in Buffalo that year. IIRC, that was only the second year in recent history that snow accumulated on the ground in the SF Bay Area. It happened again in the 90's.

Austin, it rains for what seems like maybe a month, if that. The new normal is 50/50 snow angels late Jan or early Feb. Austin doesn't have the humidity of HTX, San Anton, or Corpus. You can breathe in the summer without it feeling like lava in your lungs in NYC, DC, New Orleans, or the gulf coast in S. America. The perception of amount rain in Austin is much less than in the Bay Area. In the Bay Area, there are many annoying dribbles of almost rain like the clouds have an enlarged prostate.

The southwest has charm but it's no place to live because it's right in the middle of a forecasted climate shift to endless desert. If people don't have water, they'll either a. spend stupid money competing to attain it or b. move like climate-displaced farmers from S. America, the Middle East, Asia, and Iberian and Mediterranean Europe. It's not rocket science, it's climate science.

It was 87 F today in Austin. It was glorious. Of course the flying and crawling things were all out like they just discovered air and sun. I have a ladybug wandering around my apartment that won't leave. Maybe a $3k rent bill (their share) will scare them off?
> The signal to noise ratio in lawsuits against the police is extremely low. You’d be opening the floodgates to frivolous litigation.

What are the practical implications then if it's indeed primarily signal to noise? Just a bunch of lawyers (and their boosters) making political plays that go nowhere but burden the system? And a bunch of police who get caught in the crosshairs while union lawyers take the brunt of the impact, while police spend years on paid leave and amplify police hiring shortages?

Both URLs I sourced directly mention a menu. Here's the first:

> UEFI allows the consolidation of boot menus from the OS loader and platform firmware into a single platform firmware menu. These platform firmware menus will allow the selection of any UEFI OS loader from any partition on any boot medium that is supported by UEFI boot services. An UEFI OS loader can support multiple options that can appear on the user interface. It is also possible to include legacy boot options, such as booting from the A: or C: drive in the platform firmware boot menus.
Is "florid dreams" a thing (Google didn't come up with anything meaningful)? Did you mean lucid dreams (though for the life of me, I can't understand why that wouldn't be welcomed).
I used to mentally stick on writers like Tolkien, Fleming, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, because I had to reread their more dense passages multiple times, and even then it was still unclear to me what specifically they were describing, but eventually I figured their intent was more to evoke whatever associations each individual reader made, than to clearly communicate the same thing. So then I decided that some fiction should be read differently, more casually and without an obsession with clarity, unlike non-fiction or technical stuff.

> - there could be better primitives for communication than a byte stream. Why can't I just send another process a chunk of memory?

Isn't this just

write(fd, buffer, size_of_buffer)?

I'm not sure why everyone talks about byte streams being the basis here. If fd is a socket in SOCK_DGRAM mode, then buffer is received wholesale, never split. Bytestreams are not the fundamental abstraction. Files and sockets are.

> - the posix byte stream API is bizarrely based on a flat buffer instead of a ring buffer, which is just the obviously wrong data structure IMO.

Once again, this depends on the mode of the socket. you can put a Unix socket into a mode where it starts dropping packets when the queue is full.

> - Too much of the threading API is preempted threads, when cooperative scheduling (aka yielding) is so much easier to implement and understand.

Cooperative scheduling is part of POSIX. setcontext, makecontext, getcontext, and swapcontext.
I put your comment into chatGPT verbatim and it came back with The Wild Shore by Kim Stanley Robinson. Any chance that’s the one? I’d be interested in reading it.
Not every criticism of something has to be accompanied by a better solution. Pointing out that something has shortcomings is the first step. It’s perfectly fine to say, “That person’s singing is awful,” without also adding, “They need to work on their breath control.” You don’t need to be a great singer to know when someone’s doing a bad job at it. (And many people who are great at what they do are terrible at teaching others to do it, anyway.)
I agree - to me it’s “let’s pretend to be a startup, and KIND OF all buy into it”

But it’s not a startup, and you have very little ownership, and so little actually gets done

Rumor has it that Optane was barely producible at all, much less profitably. They bet on a shrink that never came. That could be because R&D screwed up (Intel's process teams have not exactly impressed in recent years), because management wouldn't bear the necessary costs, or because it was just too difficult to scale (rumors also say there's an element of truth to that, the Optane fab process was weird).

Yeah, definitely agree on WebAssembly! We have https://github.com/shadaj/tree-sitter-c2rust for running Tree Sitter on WASM via Rust, but definitely more potential in that direction. And very much agree on the error story needing work, right now it's mostly `panic`s everywhere and could definitely be improved with richer diagnostics.
Its a valid ideal but then you get into the fun world of toxicity, pharmacodynamics, dosing, inter-patient variability, compliance, drug-drug interactions.

A can of worms.
"Act as a password generator" can't possibly go wrong
I mean the problem with many of the studies quoted and referred to in the article is that they are about correlation but fail to show causation outside of "that seems right if you approach it with a mind which has already been biased to believe it".

For example night work independent of light has _a lot_ of ways it can negatively affect people, cause stress and in turn increase the risk of cancer.

And while the relationship between melatonin and blue light does exist the magnitude of it's effect (compared to other factors) is much less clear and might vary hugely between people.

Especially when it comes to reasons why you sleep is bad there are docents non melatonin related problems of which the negative effect can by far outweigh any melatonin difference caused by blue light.
The coroutines support in the stdlib is here: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.coroutin...

You can build exactly Go's coroutines API on top of these primitives, by encapsulating the Continuation object in Channel and Mutex types, and you would not have to touch the `suspend` keyword (which is sugar for CPS-transforming the function).
These types of language models are much safer than the next paradigm which will be autonomous creature/person-like AIs. The InstructGPT language models only do/say what their users tell them to do (or trick them). And they are not close to having the capability of taking over the world even if there are malicious users controlling them. But the point is it's the humans driving any harm with these things.

The real danger comes when people start creating fully autonomous AIs that emulate animal/human characteristics like independent goals, survival instincts, emotions, complete cognitive loops, etc. Unfortunately people don't seem to recognize the difference between that and powerful LLMs and so it is unlikely that society will realize that needs to be avoided before it's too late.

The powerful language models will soon be the most tame and the least of our worries. Give it 5, maybe 20 years max. People will be asking their language models to try to help them figure out how to stay on the good side of the independent, conscious androids that are taking over the planet. But it will be too late.
Yea, interesting!

If there's something to this analogy, I feel like it'd be worth being more commonly known.

For me, as a Millennial/Xennial, I sure as hell criticised the elders close to me for their smoking and their taking up the habit in their youth. For parents now who have similar stories, it might be a helpful perspective to have on how these things tend to happen and what's required to actually address any problems.

It might also lead to some uncomfortable reflections on the world us Millennials are passing on.

Maybe the best first step for parents would be to quit social media / smartphones themselves and get more active in creating alternative ways of being (however easier said than done that is)?

Interestingly, I'm also struck at how unclear it might be as to which is the worst of these two "generational original sins".

Despite all the health effects, maybe no one lost the ability to think deeply or critically assess propaganda or fall into a cult or become obsessed with their appearance or spent thousands of dollars to throw perfectly functioning pocket computers in the bin for slightly bigger ones from smoking?

A funny image comes to mind of senile Millennials refusing to give up their social media smartphones despite their carers' best efforts, wildly declaring that they've been scrolling timelines since before the carers were born and have been fine.

Fair, but you're always going to get a pretty bland paper. The honest answer is "so I get money and am not homeless and starving" and my background is "I do computer things so I'm not homeless and starving". Whether they'll write that out, that's roughly correct for most people.

Is part of being a good employee faking that you're probably at least primarily there because they're making sure you can pay your bills? Sure, I'd rather work somewhere interesting than not, but writing a nice cover letter about how I'm interested in your project and mission goes out the door pretty quick when you come back with how you want to pay me 60k under market rate.

I'm not exactly anti cover letter, but it feels like writing a dating profile. It's me putting on a bit of a guise and obscuring at least part of my true motives. Everyone involved should understand that or is hopelessly naive, but then what signal do you get from it? That I care enough to dissemble effectively to you? That you think I'm as interested in your company as you're going to tell me all about how you'll treat me like family?
Not yet, but this is something I've been investigating. The general plan is to have safe Rust bindings to the underlying Tree Sitter APIs used by custom scanners, and then have the Rust Sitter proc macro expose a Rust scanner as an `extern` function that the Tree Sitter runtime can call back to.
It's ok when it's merited, but often it's not, this article being one case in point.
I had an uncomfortable experience with Upwork. I hired a freelancer to work on my project. I noticed some issues with honesty and ethics in his work and communication with me. I got a really bad feeling about him and we ended the contract.

Then I did some research on him and it turns out he is a convicted felon for distributing child ____. His case was covered extensively in international news. I alerted Upwork to this and also showed them proof of his dishonest behavior with me (all communication with him was within the Upwork messaging system). Yet as far as I can see nothing changed and he is still very prominently featured on their platform. (Also he has changed his name now.)

He left me a quite vengeful review & rating (turns out he does this with many of his clients). He was working on a sensitive area of my business. Feels stressful to have a conflict with someone like him. I felt nervous even reporting him.
I disagree. Moreover, it is rather unfortunately the case that the comments section here has decided to throw a party for the death of formal higher education. I'm here to piss in the punch at that party.

Playing with windows now for some cross platform work. Trying to port my Unix domain socket service and client over.. What a mess. Win32 is an awful mess of an API. The named pipes are a sad shadow of domain sockets. Anonymous pipes are completely useless (can't run async), thus we have to name the copious number of pipes. What hell is this...

Starlink is an access technology. The Tier 1 backbone providers of the Internet are still terrestrial which means terrestrial fiber and submarine cables. Starlink still has to buy transit from the people with fiber. I think Starlink purchases transit from GTT, Lumen, Zayo and buncg of others. A fiber cut could still impact Starlink. Think of what happens when your ISP goes down but the Wifi on your routers is still up. It's somewhat similar.

Many in Congress these days are afraid to even give the appearance of working across the isle, because it'll surely be used against them by an opponent in a primary.
That or they disturb the sharks that eat the cables ;)
But that's the problem though. At that point you either have to have one of the top 10 smartest and most interesting people in your field willing to write for you and bring their clout to it, or you have to have a network already strong enough to bring in the staff you need. It's almost literally impossible for that to be the case outside of a tiny set of companies, and that's why the current hiring system exists.

Flatpak was one of the major reasons I moved to Debian after 14 years of Ubuntu.

I prefer stability over novelty, thus the transition was nearly transparent for me.
The problem with this thought is that malloc/free are not OS primitives, they are strictly concepts that make sense to your own program. Languages like Swift and Go never use these calls at all, for example. When Swift "frees" a string that was still being referenced from C, it's very likely not the OS that will mess with it, but other parts of the Swift program.

The way programs actually interact with the OS for memory allocation is using sbrk() or mmap() (or VirtualAlloc() in the case of Windows) to get a larger piece of memory, and then managing themselves at the process level.

And having the OS expose a more advanced memory management subsystem is a no-go in practice because each language has its own notions of what capabilites are needed.
Something I have pondered for quite some time since I experimented with pitch-shifting devices for my guitar, everything from an SB Live! sound card to various digital effects pedals - they all introduce insane amounts of warbling the further from the original tuning you go.

Would this sort of analog-digital circuitry or something similar possibly work to build a pitch shifter with high enough resolution to effectively allow full audio range pitch shifting of source audio without warbling? Of all the things I've tried, the SBLive! was actually the best, holding semi-stable 2 full steps down on my guitar. Everything else was fairly nasty after a full step.
