Simply search for "get user agent" and post.
Except Reddit is thousands of subforums. If one is toxic, there's another better suited. When moderation on a sub gets out of control it takes maybe 2 clicks for someone to create an alternate subreddit.

Twitter doesn't have anything like that. If there's a problem, well, your only recourse is to become a billionaire, buy out the entire site, fire most of the employees, and try to bend it to your will. But that's more likely to make it worse than better.
I see the battery as subtle metaphor: when people do not pay attention (sleep) their vitals are used by somebody else (are batteries).

> - doesn’t work well with my tools (vscode). There’s a nix env plugin but it doesn’t work with flakes. Direnv plugins exist as well but they didn’t seem to work for me.

The direnv plugin works with flakes for me using sn envrc reading `use flake` and using the home manager package nix-direnv.

> In general it feels like all the devs that are working on nix are not on mac, don’t use vscode, prolly don’t use Rust as well.

I think this is untrue, especially for rust. I know vscode is pretty popular with nix users too.

I'd encourage asking for help on https://discourse.nixos.org. Maybe a separate thread per issue.

If we treat AIs like we treat chickens or pigs and call it "AI rights" that'll be laughable
>You have to go out of your way to get to the gas station, go up to the pump, pay for it, and then get back on your way. It always takes me 5-10 minutes to get gas.

Almost everybody consuming a "your local post office" volume of fuel has a tank and pump to dispense with on site.

That said, consumer shipping has enough regularity that it lends itself well to electrification and electrifying any given class of vehicle in that industry should pencil out a little sooner than the equivalent vehicle in general.
There are a lot of papers on ‘federated training’ where different parts of the training are done on separate datasets on different computers. Also a lot of literature on doing both training and inference in ‘the edge’.

For instance a surveillance system could have an A.I. in the camera and one in the building and then another one in the cloud that oversees all the buildings.
I'm not going to watch a 20 minute video, I have a job to do. Is there a summary?
Anecdotally (i.e. the children around me and clients who have approached me with specific problems because they're not well versed with social media).

- 1. Spending a long amount of time interacting online, obviously means that what happens online is a bigger part of their world. Reducing online time is not a small feat, the child needs alternatives not just to be subjected to boredom.

- 2. Better access to information has matured a lot of the topics that children are exposed to. Young people often feel their life position is in immediate danger as they don't know how to fully interpret risks like their parents.

- 3. It's much easier to see what you do and don't have in comparison to others (a problem not unique to children.)

- 4. Online allows for more adversarial discourse (plenty here in HN too), a lot of people don't know how to disagree without involving some kind of personal and emotionally driven response. They feel that all ideas are somehow attached to and define oneself, and thus must be protected - even from new information. While this is tied to the development of the brain, parents here can impart skills to their children to better manage these situations.

- 5. Kids have found new ways to be cruel to each other that extends beyond the playground and easily supervised spaces.

- 6. Online/social media has embraced reaction/feedback systems to harvest data for algorithmically generated content and moderation. This in turn has made people accustomed to valuing their input based on how others have valued it. Unlike the past, kids can see very clearly who doesn't like them. It's also a pathway for sexual abuse as children can be coerced (i.e. groomed) into posting more and more revealing content for 'likes' - even from their peers: as they may learn to value themselves by their appearance.

- 7. Kids feel even more pressure to conform and disguise themselves. Reddit has their "hivemind" for example, and presenting counter-points must be done carefully, almost PR-like manner or risk being abused by strangers.

Parents need to find ways of disrupting these negative influences and reducing online time to deemphasise the role it has in childrens' lives. Games and activities are a good way of developing the child's interests in a way that can make online/social media feel small in comparison, while also helping them develop confidence and coping skills (such as dealing with disappointment, adversaries or those that disagree.)
In general I notice that people who use online as a resource are mentally better than those who use it to fill boredom.

I used AngularJS before TS based Angular showed up. I like Angular as a frontend framework. I mostly ignored other JS related trends, because I develop mostly API and I use Angular for admin panels.

My next project will use https://github.com/leptos-rs/start-axum , because it's superior technology in terms of speed when you compare it to VDOM frontend frameworks.
Still can't intuitively grasp it.

That’s a great idea. I tried a lot of similar techniques years ago without much success, but I should try again since I’ve been diagnosed and treated for ADHD since then.
Can't you say the same thing about a sighted tester who misses a field that the developer forgot to implement?
Human behavior will largely just appreciate the extra half hour of sleep each day.

Round-the-clock shiftwork (hospitals, power plants, etc.) will require minor tweaking; your eight hour shift probably just becomes 8:10 or so.

The point I am making is that America knows how to execute and succeed with engineering, unlike Japan.

Look at Kioxia, formerly Toshiba Memory. Neglected and laid out to rot under Japanese hands, bought by Americans and immediately became one of the biggest names in NAND flash (and rightfully so as inventors of the damn thing).

Japan can't succeed if success looked at them straight in the eye, and I'm tired of it.
It seems like that data would be very noisy data. Criteria for age would be one obvious thing, but it would also include social status, social support networks, hours on the road, frequency of visiting the doctor, distance to doctor and home, stress and access to leisure time, cultural factors, economical factors and many more.

The conclusions would also be conditions on such factors and how the interact with each other.

Other replies have pointed out this is the type of task we could automate, but I’ll assume you’ve taken (what I consider to be) a valid retort into consideration: Yes, we could automate it but machines break and the last option in fixing is always to send in humans, even if just to manually operate other machines to unlock what stopped the automation. Thus jobs.

I don’t know if it would be societally possible to have those people without jobs, but I believe it could happen. Think how many of us love to tinker with and improve complex system for the hell of it (open-source), and would welcome doing more of it for free if only we didn’t have an obligation (a job) which takes us away from it. Even when no one needs to work, many will choose to.
Hmm, wouldn't the same work on Linux or other Unixish system?
This sounds awful, but to what extent does a mediocre yet functioning engineering org affect the company's bottom line? Does the bar having been set low actually matter?
On the European rail networks with good passenger service — not the high speed lines, but conventional lines — the tracks are good enough to support fast freight trains carrying parcels and so on. That also means they can run during the day without disrupting passenger trains.

Perishable food and parcels are commonly carried by rail, although there is still a lot by road.

Container trains in Britain can travel at 75mph on such tracks. That's faster than a truck is allowed to drive (60mph).

Checking my numbers, I found this [1] which is interesting:

>Why do you think robots would not be able to do those tasks?

The manufacturing of the robots themselves also requires input from unpleasant jobs. The raw materials like steel, plastics, batteries, etc to make the robot. Example of not-so-fun jobs like mining cobalt being done by children: https://www.google.com/search?q=child+labor+cobalt+mines+ev+...

Why can't we have "master" robots build the the "slave" robots? Still the same issue... How do the master robots get built/maintained/repaired?

You also have Moravec's Paradox when trying to build robots that can replace humans' sensory-motor skills (e.g. cleaning sewers, mining cobalt, etc) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox

The Boston Dynamics prototype robots have impressive demos of them dancing and jumping but they're probably several decades away from being cost-effective in replacing humans for mining and other unpleasant jobs.
> Nothing pisses me off more than journals charging thousands for access.

Wait until you hear about the last publisher fuckery: APC (article processing charges). For those outside the publishing loop, a lot of journals are now publishing papers under an open licence BUT authors have to paid a huge (often in the thousand or more) sum to get the article published. Since whole journals are now "open", this isn't negotiable. In the end it means journals are still taking a lot of institutions money, just in another way, and blocking access to people like me who are trying to publish papers on their own.

Isn't the claim that ARM has nothing comparable to AVX512 technically incorrect? AFAIK SVE and SVE2 are definitly "comparable" even tough the actual vector size depends on the actual hardware of the processor.
I currently don't have a concrete opportunity for you but maybe something to consider: I occasionally teach at universities, and students often learn about accessibility as a general topic but have zero insight into what it actually means, as in: how a real person with an actual disability is using assistive software. I sometimes show them YouTube videos of people explaining their screen readers. I am sure that universities could be interested in some kind of package, where they bring you on remotely, perhaps, and you can do a live session of reviewing something students designed, or talk to them about things most apps/websites tend to get wrong (are cookie nags extra annoying/complicated to deal with to you, or do you even stand a chance at unclicking some of those tracking options, how about apps without buttons, mostly controlled by gestures, etc.). As a teacher, I didn't know even where to start reaching out to someone (at the time when I wanted to do something about it) who could actually show students how they "see" (or not see) those websites and apps. Again, I think this is something you should most definitely get paid for (it's super valuable), I didn't have the ability to get a budget at the time, but would have had a much easier internal pitch for it if there was someone already offering this as a package deal kind of thing. Like, a 2 hour call before a project, then students work on it, and you come back in for another 2 hours at the end of class / semester to review.

Anyways, I'm rambling on, but I always felt like this is something that would be valuable and also struggled with connecting the right pieces to make it happen.

If you're into web development, too, or maybe even just Notion could work, would be a potential indie project, too — a "hand-crafted job site / market place" of accessibility services / experts."
Dostoyevsky had a fine take of what’ll happen in that future in Notes from Underground, and it’s not likely to go the way utopians will expect.
if you say it often it might happen!!! what we are seeing however is that as people can't get loans anymore there are more renters which makes rent more expensive and ultimately owners richers which will then make people buy more houses even tho loans have higher rate,

Please...

"Gaslighting" is an important term for someone messing with your perception, so you begin to fundamentally doubt your own feelings and experiences. It only works in contexts where there is an important relationship, e.g. a boss, or a partner, and over time. Not every simple lie is "gaslighting".

Same for "toxicity". An asshole is not toxic. A forum full of nazis is not toxic. An important element for real "toxicity" is something _attractive_, something that pulls you in, and keeps pulling you back in even when you are hurt.

If people continue to abuse these terms, they are watering down important terms for something that is really, really harmful. I'm not saying being lied to is not violence, or that an asshole is not an asshole. But there is no comparison to REAL gaslighting and REAL toxicity.
I appreciate the spirit of this comment, but I have to disagree on a few key points.

The kind of meditation is very important. There are some meditation practices that therapists urge people with trauma history to avoid, and Vipassana is the specific type of meditation that is recommended because of the clarifying nature of the practice. This is the type of meditation that has been subject to studies with positive outcomes.

Other forms of concentration practice may be a stepping stone to Vipassana if they help someone with concentration, but can also be a gateway to less ideal experiences for someone with trauma history. It can also be a path to nowhere if you stay on these other practices without understanding the differences between them.

Regarding therapy, the type of therapy matters too, and will depend on your history. EMDR is not widely accepted as treatment for trauma, and is not for everyone. I’ve experienced the power of EMDR directly and it helped me reduce the effects of more recent events (I was in a car accident that deeply unsettled me for a time), but trying to apply therapy to other events that had even tangential connotations with my past resulted in getting completely stuck during EMDR sessions. My current therapist fully supports the use of EMDR but has cautioned me against it for complex trauma history and my personal experiences confirm that this is good advice for me.

I think the most important thing here is that YMMV and do what works for you, but be thoughtful about it and understand the key differences between available treatment.

But even though therapy modalities can vary greatly depending on your past experiences, the recommended gateway into meditation is consistently Vipassana and from what I can tell this is for a good reason. This isn’t to say other forms can’t be useful and another comment pointed out some useful resources above, but there are definitely some paths that will lead nowhere.
Terrifying. It’s like a pre-alpha version of dystopia.

Between this and the advances in robotics, it feels like we’re within decades of some really tough times for humanity.

We could also be within decades of utopia. But my money is on these technologies being used in bad ways far more often than for good. Hopefully I’m just overly cynical!

Good luck kiddos!

Wow, with electricity that expensive solar must pay back really quick.
There are two issues with that:

- what is the dummy value? does the value type even have one?

- I don't think index-assignment (or attribute-assignment) is overloadable in C++, so you need `a[b]` to return something which can be assigned to, and proxy values tend to be really wonky (see: `vector<bool>`), so assigning to the result of the indexing would replace the dummy value
pardon if this is ignorant but i mean now that arxiv is well established, what is the barrior to “publish papers on your own” if you dont particularly care about the journal reputation (and those that do probably dont pull this kind of scummy stunt)

You need both access patterns (otherwise you do a double-lookup to insert a default value) and C++ already provides both.
This is bad news masquerading as good news.

Now they force you to pay 2.3k GBP to publish an article. Previously it was free, unless you wanted it to make it immediately accessible on the website.
People in astrophysics always did put articles on arxiv.org anyway, so papers were already accessible to everyone (in a non-typeset/not-proofread form), but now it will be the same, but everyone will have to pay 2.3 kGBP per paper.
Also a useful comparison. The subscription to MNRAS for the institution was 6.5 kGBP. So any institution that publishes more than 2 papers a year will pay way more then before.
Also none of the referees are payed.
Also, some funding agencies (like UK's UKRI) prohibit to put page charges in overheads for grants, so I wonder how people are supposed to get the money...

To be honest, the natural consequence of this will be that people will stop publishing in MNRAS. There is simply not enough value added in the publication process to justify 2.3k GBP, given that the referees are not payed, the journal is published online only, and the arxiv already provide hosting.

Also, this is the case of Royal Astronomical Society (which does a lot of good things: provides grants, fellowships, organizes meetings, gives prizes) of trying to preserve the income stream to fund that. This is wrong, and we should not accept that in my opinion.
It's interesting that you decided to repeat this diatribe for the millionth time expecting... what effect exactly?

Stroustrup licked every boot and inserted himself into every possible committee to promote his language until the network effect picked up. And later he post-rationalized about his language's popularity, attributing it to qualities the language never had.

And you proceeded to conclude based on the diatribe you repeated that nobody should want good things, because everyone has to be satisfied with popular things, because you chose to eat garbage and you will be too jealous to see others getting better treats?

----

Yes. Python is garbage, and programmers should be actively discouraged from using it. Python is today in the hands of people both incapable and unwilling to improve the language in the aspects that matter, and that's why programmers need to try to defeat the network effect created by it instead of encouraging more complacency. It is pretty much in the same situation as C++, so, unintentionally, you sort of guessed the direction. Both languages started small and rode the popularity wave w/o actually filling the gaps in original design with the worthwhile contents. Kind of like a TV show that keeps capitalizing on its pilot, while not creating anymore engaging experience.
I saw somewhere that the original script for the matrix described it as using human’s brains for processing power, rather than the battery thing. Supposedly the studio thought the idea was too much for audiences.
