>Eric Levitz points out that life in the U.S. is much better, in terms of material standards, than it used to be back in the days when teen suicide rates were much lower. In fact, if anything, wealth seems to make teens less happy; a new paper by Rudolf & Bethmann finds that although rich countries tend to have happier adults, their adolescents tend to have lower life satisfaction.

Noah Smith given his political persuasion dismisses the most obvious common thread, one that Robert Sapolsky has written about for decades. While absolute wealth has increased so has inequality, and there is strong empirical evidence that links relative inequality to mental and biological harm.[1]

The relationship to social media and smartphones seems intuitive. They're an amplifier and visualizer of inequality. Social media gives influencers, celebrities a gigantic platform to broadcast their unreachable lifestyles. and being a socialite/influencer is now often listed as the, or one of the, most popular 'professions' among teens. Even ordinary users constantly idealize their own appearance and circumstances.

It almost takes magical thinking to arrive at the conclusion that phones and the applications they enable have some mystical causal powers rather than accepting the most straightforward explanation. They're simply very accurate mirrors of the ever-increasing competitive and unequal social system which induces real, physiological stress in our populations.

This has historically shown to not be the case. In the modern era, there's rarely any value in a raw idea, but how it affects those who observe it (mainly can it drive them to buy toys). It's been pretty consistently shown people like what's familiar, so we get an endless stream of mid sequels
"For men elsewhere, it's really good for them to know that women do this, and that this is why. You may know that you're not the man who does that, but they don't, and the consequences can be worse than losing your wallet. Practically every woman knows a woman who has been assaulted this way. Understanding that will help you plan your dates accordingly so that she can feel a lot more comfortable, and you'll both have a much better time."

This is solid. Guys, do not take it personally when a woman who doesn't know you extremely well is taking these kinds of safety measures. It's because either we've personally had a bad experience with someone who seemed like a decent guy, or have been told about a bad experience someone else had. We're not refusing the drink you thoughtfully brought us from the bar because we're picky; we're doing it because we have an acquaintance who woke up in someone else's bed, unplanned.

Knowing what safety measures women normally take will help you avoid feeling slighted. It's not you, it's the bad behavior of enough of your fellow fellows, bad behavior you're unlikely to directly witness.

If we didn't think you were a decent guy, we probably wouldn't be going out with you in the first place (or were too scared to say no).

DevOps, a combination of Development and Operations, is as much a change in procedural mindset as it is a set of tools. Ultimately, running separate teams completely dedicated to operational tasks and software development is impractical when designing applications that have constantly growing scale and requirements.
It's a good first step, but still some way to go!

I once heard a distinguished professor answer that question with "I have read at least half of them at least two-thirds of the way through." On the other hand, he had books that were nearly falling apart from re-reading.

Eco on libraries reminds me of a piece by Michael "Rands" Lopp from 2006:

"The cliche about hardware stores and people over thirty is this: it’s a toy store. We go there to buy crap that looks cool, but that we don’t really need. Wrong. My Dad was not wandering Orchard Supply looking for crap; my Dad was looking for ideas. That’s what a great tool does: it inspires you to build."

And the bleak general environmental prospects: I believe that much of what we consider regular youth behavior rests on the baseline assumption that unless something exceptional happens, their future lives will be like their parents lives, with some hope for upwards sprinkled in for the particularly ambitious.

When I watched Inconvenient Truth almost 20 years ago, I left with the impression that Florida would be under water by now unless we made massive corrections in path.
I’m now under the impression that while much of the science we knew back then still holds, some of it was exaggerated, and the lived effects hasn’t been as drastic as we were being told.
Perhaps the average person, whomever you’re thinking of, is more aware, but personally I’ve seen a transition from sky is falling hysteria (underwater Florida) to real pragmatism and nuance in our predictions and models. Seems like the author got it right.
AWS x64 'cores' are the virtual cores you see on hyperthreaded CPUs and map 2:1 to physical cores on the CPU, but the AWS ARM offering doesn't have hyperthreading, so the virtual cores map 1:1 to cpu cores.

You can disable hyperthreading on the x64 instances at the cost of halving the number of cores you have available in the instance that you paid for.

Binance Can’t Keep Its Story Straight on Misplaced $1.8B USDC
I agree. I was surprised at all the people blaming all other things. the answer is smart phones + social media. Worst thing that ever happened to teenagers mental health. You should look at teen sex & teen pregnancy rates. It was on the decline before and just plummeted after 2010. Smartphones have killed physical interaction, and then social media adds all sorts of negative pyschology on top of that. God help us.
One day, we will look back and see this smartphone/social media era as one giant negative societal experiment that should never be repeated.

> A lot of people basically now gauge the worth of others by the followers they have and it’s ridiculous.

Kids measuring popularity is as old as kids. So don't take this as something unique or new.

> Social media really has made people more shallow in my opinion and reduced the chance of actually having meaningful conversations with friends.

I didn't grow up with a cell phone and kids in HS were incredibly shallow in general. Does someone have a car? What shoes are they wearing? How are their jeans rolled (or whatever stupid thing we did back then)? What about their haircut? The list goes on.

> Then there’s also the hate accounts being made to target other individuals on Instagram and the like.

This is the big change today. Pre-social media when kids left school, they could leave what for many was a very challenging environment. Now it follows them everywhere they go, 24/7. I was teased a lot and made fun of as a kid, but going home each day with neighborhood friends who knew me was my safe space. Nowadays that space just doesn't seem to exist.

Wrong. He's off by a full decade, or even more than a decade if you count the IBM Simon.
No, escaping is precisely not what you do. Escaping is the hack you add because you didn't consider separating code and data in the first place.

Do not offer an API that mixes these two things.
Tell them the AI is a tool because it is. Engineers of the future will use that tool to automate what are in fact the most boring parts of the process. This will allow engineers to create far more elaborate and advanced designs in less time just like CAD and simulation did.

If the AI starts actually replacing the most important things engineers do then we are talking about sentient general intelligence and that will be a whole different ballgame. That wouldn’t be AI replacing people but a culture war about whether AI are people and whether it is wrong to use them like slaves.

Right now what we have a large generative models, not sentient machines.
> If you’re in a group and talking about something factual

A good rule of thumb for this that a few of my circles use: you can check, but only after 10 minutes have passed. Of course, 95% of the time by then no-one cares, as you say. Occasionally it's still relevant after 10 minutes, and so checking makes sense.
If you search for the word "askew" you get the same end result.
Huh. Does that do the same thing? I can't figure it out in my head whether this causes all the correct things to fail and everything else to work.
Climate change has become mundane. Eventually the shock wears off and resignation sets in, especially because seemingly nobody is doing anything about it that is sufficient to move the needle. Or even stop it from going the wrong direction fast.

I think it's much more than smartphones. It's also the Netflixes, Prime Videos, Twitches, and Steams of the world. Also Youtube and Reddit. I know plenty of people who pride on not having smartphone but barely come out of the house due to streaming or games. Also Amazon, and Uber Eats, and whatever that grocery store app who fired half their staff lately is called. Smartphones are just the visible tip of the iceberg.

People have no incentive to leave their house anymore. All their entertainment is inside. Hanging out barely exists for some people, even for some teenagers. We have WFH so we don't have to commute but I bet a lot is just gonna turn off one screen and turn another.

I don't know the cause. Everyone says they're perpetually tired. Perhaps that's it.
This article and most on the subject tend to undermine themselves, they make it out like it is something you need to be cautious about and then say some like "Nearly 1 in 10 American adults had at least one depressive episode in the past year," well yeah, depressive episodes are part of life and an important part, it is something we all have to go through and not something which should be cured; a depressive episode is not clinical depression or psychotic depression or manic depression and we really should not blur this line. Someone going through a depressive episode generally only needs support, not drugs; someone going through regular recurring depressive episodes may need more and these drugs may work for them.

The push towards removing all pain from life sends me into a depressive episode.

I have done more than my fair share of psychedelics and they can be very powerful life changing things but the line between being reborn and ruining your life seems very fine from what I have seen and I am not sure the outcome can be controlled, it is Russian roulette for your mental well being. The people who I have know who have had their lives changed for the better by use of such drugs always returned to where they were before and more did not return them to happiness, it only made things worse and for a few it ended up in their death, it ultimately served only as a reminder that life could be good and that their life was not good. Then again more than a decade ago an experience with DMT caused me to cease all drug use and not because it was a bad experience (it was the polar opposite), I just felt no desire for or interest in drugs after that, but in my experience I am an exception. Every couple years I try some drug for nostalgia's sake and it does nothing for me, something fundamentally changed in me after that DMT and I have no idea what. I can not say this change was for the better, in some ways I would say my life was better before but in other ways it is better now, only thing I know for certain is that something is different.

The way many advocate for and use these drugs reminds me far too much of the countless early stage hardcore addicts which I once knew, they acknowledge the risks but ultimately are justifying their use and nothing more. I do believe there is potential here but I can not help feeling that we are going down a road that will make the prozac addiction/abuse of the 90s look like an over indulgence of prunes. I hope I am just being paranoid about it because I have seen the worse.

You should be talking about a hundred years ago. The causes for these trends aren't spontaneous, they're historical. So you look at history. Are the 1970's really more important than WWI? than the industrial revolution? than Enlightenment?
Was a teen in the seventies. I got to see cars not driving due to the energy crisis, read of the Club of Rome predictions, saw the anti-nuclear energy movement starting and lived in the reality of the Cold war which among other things implied the draft (in the US with a chance to travel Vietnam). And did I mention the baby boomers crowding universities pushing them to a point where late comers struggled to get in. Happy times.
It’s your job. You don’t “push” your kids. You instruct them, set expectations, and enforce the expected behavior.

General advice for kids and phones:

- no phones before 12 yr old

- shared phones between 12-16 (with other siblings or the “house” cell phone that also can be used by parents)

- own phone once 16 to acclimate them to healthy use while under your roof.

- a phone box for everyone in the household that gets used between 6-10pm every day (eg phone lives in the box, can still be checked if rings but then goes back in box not pocket)

- punishments that involve loss of phone privileges. This should follow the “x7 rule” where the punishment is much more severe than the disobedience (eg don’t listen to parent, 3 days without phone)

- model good behavior yourself. No phone out when your kids are around.
Teens didn’t use those so they’re not relevant to the topic.
So Jesus was, in fact, one of the first Influencers around?
My recent anecdote. Last month my phone broke: the touch screen would stop responding, but I could still connect a Bluetooth keyboard and headphones. After maybe 5 hard resets in a row, the screen would work again for a few minutes or hours.

After a few days, my head was clearer. I was sleeping better. My relationship felt better than ever, because we wouldn’t both lay next to each other on our phones before sleeping. My time with my kids was more focused, and I was more patient and fun.

In week 2, I commented to my wife that I don’t know what changed, but I felt better than ever. At the time I attributed it to a new therapy lamp.

After a few weeks, I finally acknowledged that due to my responsibilities I do need a working phone 100% of the time and I replaced it with a newer, modestly fancier one. In the month since, nothing else has changed: same therapy light (and now longer daylight hours); no dietary or outside well-being changes or adverse events. But that positivity isn’t there anymore. I don’t think I fully acknowledged that until this moment. And I’m still not sure what do do about it.
I imagine its hard to internalize that sort of denial when you grow up with everyone talking about the weather changing noticeably over the last decade or two
Doing a string prefix search in an ordered map is actually not maximally efficient since you end up comparing the shared prefix over and over again during the binary search. You'd definitely don't want to be doing this with long prefixes.
> 'old' in the sense that all molecules are

Trying to remember school chemistry lessons, when they explained pH, ... I think H2O is in equilibrium with H+ and OH-, perhaps with 1 in 10^7 of the molecules being disassociated at any time (hence pH 7), so a particular H2O molecule doesn't survive for very long. Minutes? Hours? Not years, I think.
From the article:

I'm presuming the rate "oss -r44000" should actually be "oss -r 44100" for normal audio (or 48000 for audio to be embedded in video output, 48000 also appears to be the default rate).
> the state of society is horrible and teens care about the world they'll be living in.

I grew up with (the after effects of) an oil crisis, an economic crisis and a cold war. If you needed more doom, you could read the The Limits to Growth by the Club of Rome. We were called "the lost generation" because of the high unemployment rate. And I'd argue there have been situations which were considerably worse to grow up in. I've heard first-hand stories about growing up in the final days of the Soviet Union, which were tough to even listen to.

So no, that's not a change that can account for the effect.
