I posted this comment elsewhere, but I think the marginal utility of our advancements is definitely decreasing.

The internet itself is just a method of getting information, most of which is garbage.

To use an analogy, let's say the telephone just got invented. Hey I can call my brother in Tampa, this rocks! But now you get spam calls every day, every time you try to use your phone you have to listen to an ad to call your brother. People call you at random times of the night telling you they are going to kill you.

Hyperbole, but you can see how a QOL of life improvement can also just be another vector for the bullshit you already have to put up with every day.

Love the product. If only the infrastructure position was hiring in NA.

That's precisely my point. There should be a dedicated subject called "Effective Learning" or something similar, where students are equipped with the necessary tools to continue learning at a higher level after leaving school. The fact that individuals are unaware of these skills later in life is evidence of the education system's shortcomings.
It would quite a cosmic irony that humanity reaches eternal life right when their planet is unliveable.
Even Apple publishes ML papers. It turns out you can't attract and retain decent research talent unless you allow them to continue racking up their google scholar score
I saw that as a way to bolster new car sales solely to prop up the failed Big 3 auto makers that basically went bust during the 08 crash.

Cash 4 Clunkers gave both used cars and new cars a price jump and increased sales, which helped the auto makers to coast along some more. I'm sure no lobbying effort went into that at all.
This is not likely.

Life expectancy is going down while chronic disease is going up. Most of it has to do with lifestyle in ways the average person isn't aware of.

The health care system is more capable than ever before. But, lifestyles that are poor to long term health are taking the trend in the opposite direction.
> So what has changed since the 1950s?

I think that a major component of the overall mental health crisis for young people is the fact that more and more teens understand mental illness, are able to identify their struggles, and getting a diagnosis for things like anxiety and depression is easy enough- but the situation for treatment, at least in the US, is absolutely abysmal. I was diagnosed with a few learning disabilities at 8, anxiety later on so have been seeing psychologists and psychiatrists for a very long time now. I can afford top-tier care out-of-pocket and am very experienced at navigating this landscape, and at 32, I still struggle to find competent psychiatrists. It's a very complicated field which requires a certain nuance in practice but I usually come across mental health professionals entrenched in pop psychology, not science, so I just have a great therapist and have neurologists handle my meds now. This scenario becomes even more difficult for adolescents because many psychiatrists and psychiatrists do not see adolescents, and even fewer will see children.

tldr; adolescents are more aware of their mental health struggles than they were just 10 years ago but access to proper mental health care has not improved, and finding a psychiatrist or psychologist who is taking new patients is twice as hard as it was before covid
Yeah I think this is a big part of the core thing. The author is trying to explain it away because a bunch of quantitative metrics are better or improving. But regardless, it feels more hopeless now. It feels like the world is going to end and we're powerless to affect it, it feels like our lives are grist for engine of wealth accumulation.

Surprise, people's feelings are based on how things feel and regardless of what numbers say the world feels worse than it used to. We've optimized the hopefulness out of our changes.
Ah… I've been on that space ship simulator. (Voyager) I sat in that elevated nook—the engineer's position, naturally. So much fun. Going to the space center was the most coveted birthday party experience.

I was mildly disappointed to learn that the whole thing was not an iron-clad simulator (i.e. everything I did as engineer was just busy work—ship systems could still function if the GM decided they would) but once I got into D&D later as an adult, I appreciated the setup much much more.

I'm going to have to try this out some time…

No reason whatsoever to pay that fine, nor would Russia even be able to collect it without some third party acting as a proxy.
What's the alternative? Pandora's box has been opened.
How to feel about all the people that will go before this.. like people with incurable disease that see news of new treatment coming.. but not fast enough for them.
I'd recommend against relying on this TL.DR.

The article is incredibly nuanced, and answers many more questions than only "is this method any good?"

I'd also say it's not correct to place rereading at low effectiveness. The result on the article is more complicated than that.

Also, the article is mostly about memorization learning, and entirely about things with correct/incorrect answers. How well this generalizes for learning the things you need outside of schools isn't there at all.
I wish I lived in a world where I was able to choose which corporate road I get to drive on. Just imagine! I'm at an intersection, and I get to choose if I want to pay $2 to turn left and get home in 5 minutes or pay $1 to turn right and get home in 9 minutes.

When I have a bad fall down the stairs at home, I get to choose which phone number to call. 910 will be there in 10 minutes for $500, 912 will be there in 20 minutes for $350. It's great, being on the floor in agony gives me the opportunity to think about how badly I need to get to the hospital.

I can't imagine a better world than getting to do economic analysis to figure out what is best for me because I want a choice in everything private companies have to offer!

Given the advancements in medical science and longevity research, this is entirely possible. But, the way the world in which we currently live is evolving, it may not be desirable to live to be 100 (or for that matter 90, 80, 70... depending on how things degrade)
Are scientists changing how they think about the early universe?

When you block ads network wide their apps play a generic PlutoTV logo loop while they should be on. Oddly my son seems to like the visuals and music on those so that's a nice unintentional side effect of blocking ads.
As long as they get lucky and have a good job, inherit enough wealth from their family to afford housing, don't get diabetes, don't live near any freight railroads, grow up in a rich enough community so they didn't grow up drinking water delivered in lead pipes and didn't grow up in a house with asbestos then yes, they may live to 100.
We agree. I should have been more precise in my words. I meant there is no huge lead in the product itself.
What we're saying is that they aren't, though.

Alternatives mentioned here are vultr, hetzner, ovhcloud, digitalocean. I'm reluctantly coming to terms with the idea that my decade(s?) old linode instance is not going to survive the acquisition, mostly based on the increasingly corporate/incoherent emails I get about it.

Does it matter hugely which of the above I change to? I want them to bill me automatically and boot the server after outages, basically set and forget for admin.
How did they know about testing for Covid-19 in 2015?
Separating code from data definitely helps for serialization; while they aren't great for game development it's incredibly nice in typescript/javascript to do it that way. It can also help for things like network code or for cloning an object.
that isn't the problem. the problem is, that in many 'gated' professions (electricians, plumbers, nurses, police officers, etc) the training is required, and usually restricted by the state.

And usually, the classes are full, and they have to turn away many qualified applicants. While they talk about how desperately they need new people in the career.

100 doesn’t sound extremely optimistic.

Jimmy Carter is 98. Kissinger is 100. Munger is 99. Buffett is 92, Dick Van Dyke is 97, Mel Brooks is 96,…

The body can last well into the late 90’s. It’s probably just a matter of treating people who get heart disease, cancer(s), etc that will get more people there.
Not if they are as fat as the 5 year olds I'm seeing.
The modern economy is built such that it creates shortages of any worker type that comes into higher demand.

When we need fewer electricians, we fire electricians and stop training new ones. This is bad for the electricians, and also means that when we need more electricians, we don't have a pool of electricians available to meet the need, and we don't have a pool of people available to train new ones. In fact, people will still be hesitant to become electricians, knowing that once the demand is fulfilled, we'll start firing them again and they won't have a great way to make a living.

We need idle slack in the system, and we need some form of guaranteed income so we can maintain availability of skilled labor of all sorts.
Since our ability to detect infinitesimal amounts of contamination keeps increasing, the answer is probably no.
The Surprising Climate Benefits of Sharing Your Stuff
Can the submitter provide a summary? Unlike a text article, you can't quickly skim a 9-minute video to figure out its main point.
Speaking as a US Florida resident, I almost thought you were describing this state.

I know the US is different, but the trajectory is disturbing. Stands selling accessories and tshirts disputing the legitimacy of President Biden draw ridiculously huge crowds. A towtruck driver I spoke to very seriously thought covid masks were government mind control devices. Child test and mental health scores are plummeting. I just recently saw a news segment blaming a hurricane that destroyed my town on... Democrats, one of our political parties. And I cant help but think of our own identity and religion politics when you describe yours.
I played the games, and I also think it makes for much better television the way they're doing it. It makes the infected much scarier if pretty much any time they're encountered, somebody dies. If the characters could just mow them down like in the game and then slap on a health kit and be fit as a fiddle, then the infected would basically be gnats.
I like having a reputation. I pay my bills on time and im happy for my creditors to share that fact to others. Similarly i don't trash hotel rooms, get into fights or engage in other antisocial behavior. A reputation make things easier as service providers can focus efforts on higher risk individuals

I do have a problem if I get thrown on a general bad person list based on something unrelated (e.g. criticized [politician]) or the state telling private parties they should not associate with me for whatever reason
Let me put it this way then: Individualism and a community are not mutually exclusive.
An in-depth look at the first Amiga tracker: The Ultimate SoundTracker
In this video, I show what it was like to write music inside the first publicly released version of The Ultimate Soundtracker, the very first #AmigaMod tracker, with a small bit of comparison to ProTracker 1.1b. #amiga500 #retromusic #protracker
It seems to me that the right fix is for Docker Desktop to support M1. Docker, kubelet, the k8s control plane, and everything else has supported ARM for ages. There is no need for that extra VM and therefore no blocker on nested virtualization.
Dynamic Image Generation with Elixir
> China and the US depend too much on eachother to fight a large scale war.

They also said that in 1914.
> Taking care of a neighbor is none of my business because other peoples' lives are none of my business.

For a lot of human history this was simply not the case. I am not saying that this level of social cohesion is better or worse for mental health, but you can't use your own cultural viewpoints to debunk the previous commenter's claim. You have this view because you have been conditioned to have it in our current society.
Do you disagree with this statement?

> Whatever caused young people in the U.S. to develop higher rates of mental illness over the past two decades, it was not an objective collapse in living standards, employment prospects, or opportunities for material security.

What numbers or objective data can you put forward to refute it?

Imagine a short story where a man gets a diagnosis of an incurable, terminal disease certain to inflict much suffering before death. He kills himself. And then the doctor discovers there was an error in the test, and the man did not have the disease after all.

It's possible that for young people today, life is not objectively worse than for previous generations. But with catastrophic pronouncements on blast from social media to a greater extent than ever before, lack of in person support and friendships, a general discourse of partisanship and hate and unrelenting negativity, it's plausible more people are killing themselves due to the perception of reality, moreso than reality itself.

In other words, maybe we should stop telling people life is hopeless, the world is doomed, and it's impossible for it to get better.

Hey friends. Thorium's developer here. Happy to answer any questions or give more insights.

Thorium Classic has been in development since 2016 and is primarily intended to be used in brick-and-mortar space centers out in Utah, like the Space Place[1] and CMSC[2]. As such, there isn't a lot of content and documentation to get newcomers up-and-running with it.

Thorium Nova is currently under development and is intended to be used by a broader audience. It will include much more content, pre-built missions, and more integrated tutorials.

The project is open-source, so anyone is welcome to contribute[3] and follow along with the progress of each alpha.

I went the other way, from emacs to vi. There were two reasons.

(1) is that when I do sysadmin tasks I can always count on vi being installed in a Linux system, particularly if it is bad shape. Although I could install emacs in most cases, maybe the package system is corrupted or maybe the owner of the box doesn't want me to install emacs, whatever. From that point of view any kind of customization is a negative because the point is showing up, doing the work, and leaving behind no mess.

(2) I found the continuation characters in emacs get in the way when I try to cut and paste from a terminal window running emacs to an IDE window (I usually work in IntelliJ idea or another Jetbrains IDE) or to a text box in a web page. With "vi" it just works and I find it comfortable to switch between remote vi and a local IDE... I could probably configure emacs to not show those continuation characters but it's another thing to configure and I said above, I see editor configurability as a problem and not a solution.
I think most do use GDScript, but the C# support is very good. If you need great performance in your game scripts, or are familiar with C#, best to start with that.
If average life expectancy starts to close 100. What will the retirement age be? Will we have lot more 80 year olds working? And will their quality of life be good?

I don't see much actually changing the aging process itself. Just making people survive longer.
Anyone have experience with IK and skeletal animation of rigged 3D models on Godot 4? Last time I checked (back in the 3.x days), it seemed like Godot 3.x was lacking in that area (as opposed to 2D animation) but that they planned to improve 3D animation in Godot 4. I'd be interested to know how viable it now is in Godot 4 compared to other engines.
