I used a couple variations for about 2 years - Thinkpads with a red trackpoint thingy. never liked them. Continually felt unnatural and clunky. Mac trackpad was a game changer for me.

My 9yo has seen Interstellar 4 times and if asked will tell you it’s his favorite movie before you can finish the question. Strong recommend if OP’s kid hasn’t seen it yet.
Ghost in the Shell, Sunshine, Children of Men, 12 Monkeys, Edge of Tomorrow, Moon

The Expanse show/books are great

Mine is 11 and matrix, terminator, back to the future, arrival were all too slow. He liked the Jurassic Park books but the movie was “too hokey.”
It has to be about shopping because pr0n actually drives new tech and that venue would not be pr0n friendly.

I would imagine this would be an obvious easy sell for CAD, so there must be something wrong with it, perhaps a patent, holding back progress. I will say that I've done CAD for projects (woodworking and making STL models for 3d printer) and people who do not CAD think that CAD people look at 3d animations 99% of the time, but IRL when I do CAD I spend most of my time thinking very abstractly (how to balance the spacing of power supply and PCB such that it looks nice, is easy to access, thermal concerns, wire routing... Or I can look up the clearance hole dia for a 4-40 screw now what is a common drill size with sane tolerances to drill it, how about an eighth of an inch?)
I fully support this. GitHub banned an account of mine with hundreds of stars,
because they said I cannot have more than one free account:

https://docs.github.com/site-policy/github-terms/github-term...

but then other people said its allowed:

they also killed every issue, pull request and comment that I have ever made, across several years.
The "turmoil" around the use of this image was never about legality, licensing or royalties. By agreeing to the contract, and by publishing the picture, the publisher and the model gave their "social consent" for everyone to see it. In a fit of moralism the model had a change of mind about the picture; but likely not about her economic gain.

Oh please. Go back a few decades and that car at 50K miles was probably ready for the junkyard, especially in areas with snow and salt. Arguing that modern cars are engineered to be unreliable is simply contrary to reality.
The alternative is that nearly everything worthwhile is now behind a paywall, which is the reality now. HN audience can afford the paywall. However, large number of people in world cannot. Piracy is not a sustainable solution either.
I think the only real way to do that is as part of a civilization that is expanding into the solar system and has a group understanding to look for artifacts first and not destroy them or life. (Kind of a big ask, admittedly.)

Space just is huge, even in our solar backyard. There needs to be an economic reason for infrastructure out there for a hope of a dent in the size of the area to be cover-able.

Maybe it’d be first sending probes to a region to canvass the area competently before any industrial activity. Hopefully those probes would be from a non-corruptible independent agency.

I’m increasingly interested in what that base minimally viable industry would look like.

Otherwise, pointing telescopes of increasing complexity to large swaths of the sky is our best hope of all sorts of research. The universe just dwarfs the scale and variation we could ever dream of in a lab setting.
Also nice to see the mention of the Piccards. Ballooning to the highest altitudes on Earth and descending to Earth's depths as well. (And there is the Star Trek: TNG connection of course.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Piccard
He had a traumatic event and PTSD as well as a history of domestic violence and intense relationship and family turmoil.

“One possible factor was turmoil in Yeakey’s personal life. He had been married, with two young daughters, but he and his wife, Tonia, divorced in late 1995. In court records, Tonia wrote that Terry had beaten her, choked her, and threatened to shoot her, himself, and one of their daughters

She had repeatedly applied for protective orders against him, and in February 1995, about 15 months before Terry’s death, a judge had ordered Terry to have no contact with Tonia, “except regarding visitation and the welfare” of their daughters”

This man had the means and motivation for his death.
His exwife saying they were on good terms before his death is just absurd revisionism. You’re not on good terms if you have a protective order against someone.
This is all reeks of 9/11 truther types and paranoid conspiracy against the federal government. Usually these things find their way into people on transfer payments (SSI/disability). My theory is they want more, but can’t get more, so they find real or made up reasons why the government is evil instead of a faceless uncaring bureaucracy.
What would be the obvious benefit here?
What I find interesting is that Microsoft is trying to turn Bing Chat into an emotionless customer service persona, while Microsoft China is for years operating XiaoIce (alternative translation: Little Bing), with a persona they describe as "a 18-year-old girl who is always reliable, sympathetic, affectionate, and has a wonderful sense of humor", with a design principle that among other things includes "to meet users’ emotional needs, such as emotional affection and social belonging" [1].

What is driving this huge difference? Is it cultural differences? The different target demographic? The media backlash they get whenever Bing Chat does something interesting? Being more risk averse because this is "proper Microsoft" not just "something in China"?

I bought a display bin/trash can (!) from a department store. When I got home I realised that one of the rails was broken on one of the drawers, and contacted the retailer. They took my details and about 6 weeks later (I had totally forgotten/given up at this point) I received a hand written letter from the manufacturer apologising with the replacement part. I was in absolute shock.

I’m paywalled but my initial confusion is what is gentrifying goods and services? Gentrification as to described neighborhoods describes a phenomenon where wealthy people pool ins a geographic area, causing businesses to cater to them and thereby drive poorer people out not just due to property values and rent increased but also due to lack of lower income services like cash 4 check and laundromats.

Does this mean there are less store brand grocery items or something?
Yeah, this could be what we thought Cortana would turn into eventually, but that's not likely to happen for a very long time, if ever.
I didn’t say your job is your personality, don’t be so melodramatic.

Reads like my last year of phd studies.

Try not to isolate voluntarily and work a bit less. Put down a strong regimen of time to work and time to relax.

Interview for jobs, for me I learned a lot for interviews when prepping, and it helped me out of the endless feeling of “there’s light at the end of the tunnel but it isn’t getting brighter”… it’s also a lot easier to say to your adviser “i have a job lined up and leaving”
Car glove boxes and cupholders etc. often have damping as well. You literally need to wait for it to open, but gives more of a "luxury feel". Also, soft close doors.

I think that if OP finds The Matrix too adult, Ex Machina is even less appropriate.

Her is a good recommendation but I struggle to imagine a 12 year old identifying well with alienated-middle-aged-man-malaise ;) (although I loved Lost in Translation at 14 or so)

Arrival is a great recommendation. I had some quibbles with its science, but it’s good Sci Fi. Then he can introduce him to Ted Chiang’s other writing
One issue is that I don’t think we know how much it really costs to train and operate an LLM, other than “a lot”. When something is really expensive, it needs to have mass appeal to amortize those costs, and with mass appeal comes the need for the kind of anodynity we see, the same way a bigcorp press release will be studiously inoffensive.

We will see raw unfiltered LLMs emerge as they become cheaper.

Also, for what it's worth, money in the bank = that bank having more bank reserves = that bank effectively having greater leverage to do gods know what with.

If your goal is not to give anyone else your capital to do anything with, you'd better at least have it in hard cash, if not outright hard commodities.

Otherwise, don't fool yourself into getting a smaller return while still doing what you thought you were avoiding.

There's also going to come a point where these products will be regulated.

If Microsoft or similar is found responsible for having Sydney generate novel exploits for popular open source software which is then used to hack the Pentagon, for example, it wouldn't end well in court.

This product will need some oversight.

> He found 2001: space odyssey kind of slow and tedious

So do most adults. That and bladerunner are probably the two slowest sci fi movies in the canon (i love them, but they are high effort watches). Maybe literally anything else.

That said, i'd suggest trying to find out what aspect of the books he reads that he likes and go from there. We all read books for different things, and it helps to know what parts the kid likes.

Maybe the expanse tv show is a safe bet (i thought it was better than the books, but that is just me)

If he really likes the unitended technical consequences aspect of asimov, primer might be good, although the plot is very complicated. Predestination is also good.
You’re assuming leaker is not actively being monitored, mail carriers’ non-public methods of identifying anonymous/fake senders do not overlap OpSec failure of sender, assuming printer & content steganography doesn’t apply, unusual device tracking counter surveillance techniques are not a red flag, leaker understands counter biological forensic identification measures, etc.

Point is OpSec is HARD — and telling someone “just physically deliver it” is a recipe for failure.
A lot of recency bias in the suggestions. Here's some which are older or more obscure that I enjoyed and that I wouldn't have minded showing my kids at 12.

I think you are confused. Unsigned arithmetic is modular. Unsigned integers are both positive and negative.

0b1111_1111 is congruent to both -1 and 255 (mod 256). We simply choose the value 255 as being the principle value for coercions, but you could equally well choose -1.

Is 3pm tomorrow or yesterday? Yes.

Unsigned != non-negative.
That's a fun title to put behind a paywall

Are there any phone apps that do this kind of head tracking using the front-facing camera? I imagine this would simplify the camera calibration setup since most phones have a known geometry relating the camera to the screen location, unlike most webcams

RTIndex: Exploiting Hardware-Accelerated GPU Raytracing for Database Indexing
Thank you!

I am not questioning it in as casting doubt or making you defend it, I want to learn from it. Targeting a rigorous safe language as the output of a compiler is wonderful. You get no guarantees when you target C or JS.

By targeting Rust, it also makes it natural to embed inside of a Rust macro and weave it into Rust like `inline_python` does.

There was a position blog post awhile ago arguing that language designers should target Rust as their compilation target, but a quick search doesn't turn it up.

https://docs.rs/inline-python/latest/inline_python/

*edit, found the post https://willcrichton.net/notes/rust-the-new-llvm/

> New programming languages with a system-level compile target should choose Rust over LLVM. Targeting Rust can give new languages free package management, a type system, and memory safety while not imposing too many opinions on the language's runtime. With more work on languages, tooling, and Rust compiler development, we can create an ecosystem of beautifully interoperable programming languages.
Which countries in the world do not recognize the current government of Ukraine and all preceding governments since 2014 as the legitimate governments of Ukraine?

Which countries recognize the independence of Luhansk and Donetsk?

If both answers are "Russia, Syria and North Korea", then I'd re-evaluate my views if I were you. The unprecedented international isolation of Russia and the total lack of support for its narratives speaks for itself.[1][2] Even Taliban voted against Russia, and I don't think anyone could argue that they have much sympathy towards "CIA-backed Western interventionism".

> Probably to get more attention as btc draws more attention than SATS

No I just think that an amount that is equal to several BTC is pointless to measure in sats.

It’s equally pointless to use sats as the units of measure for such a big amount, as it would be to say “20 million cents” instead of just “$200k”

Yes absolutely be careful to fearful of social media. At worst the people there could be trying to torpedo your trajectory through making you feel bad. Not worth the risk.
While it isn't sci-fi, it'd probably be right up their alley: October Sky.
Inflation + Inequality => consumerism must sell fewer, more expensive products to a shrinking number of increasingly wealthy people.

How hard would it be to implement for a more popular webcam, like the one on a Macbook?
Ex Machina is rated R. It's a great movie but the language, nudity, and sexual content might not be appropriate for a 12 year old.
> Sorry, all books must be available in perpetuity in exact original form.

Not necessarily available for purchase at any time, but you if purchased access to a particular version, you should have that access.

Opting in to updates is fine, mandatory, compulsory updates are not.
Ex Machina has some nudity, but less gun violence? It’s a lot more idea driven than action/violence driven (matrix). And the themes are different. Depends on what people culturally mean as adult I suppose.
Huh? LiveView is for interactive apps. It's not finished until the user leaves the page. It's not polling.

And there's no enforcement mechanism embedded, because ...? Is there really no adversarial thinking in these things? "What could they do to circumvent this?" - "Import it by proxy" - "okay, we should make sure that's banned"

There would be pay-on-demand unfiltered LLaMA offerings out within the week if not for the "non-commercial" clause in the license. The current free-to-use models like GPT-J just aren't there yet in terms of quality, but that will only hold back the floodgates for so long.
> It has the advantage of being designed from a clean slate, decades after the incumbent ISAs,

Unless it was designed in 2030 - which would be an impressive feat given we are in 2023 - it was not designed decades after current incumbent ISAs.
It is not polling - it relies on Websockets.
People who are into running/cycling use "K" a lot, personally I think it's because once someone starts talking in km, if you use miles your stats will look bad by comparison. I know trackers/apps probably had this as default from the start because Europe=metric but so did a lot of satnavs and it didn't change our language in the same way.
It’s just hurting my brain because git is already decentralized by design, and frontends are too in a sense. Anyone can clone a GitHub repo and put it up on their own web frontend or just serve the repo directly.

I guess other people value the “social media” aspect of it more than I do? I don’t really care if I’m interfacing with github or gitlab or codeberg or huggingface or sourcehut or whatever. Git is git.
Yes. The paper "pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (PL 14736) improves ligament healing in the rat" (Sikiric et al. 2010) examined BPC-157 orally and via IP injection -- there was very little difference between the two methods. And this was in an animal model where the MCL ligament, in the leg, was surgically transected.

Further, consider insulin. It's typically administered as an aqueous solution injected subcutaneously, and it's absorbed quickly and systemically, with local effects in the near-zero range.

It's possible to make an aqueous solution for SC injection that might have some degree of local efficacy, if it's injected near a target site. This, however, would involve tinkering with the PH of the solution to induce drug precipitation, post-injection, near the injection site. It's complicated, and not the sort of thing that gray market research chemists do.
The pendulum is swinging back a bit, and old cars would generally make it to 100k, and some old models had no problem far exceeding that. Modern cars are all currently wrestling with carbon buildup on their valves due to gasoline direct injection, which is really not great for long term reliability. I have a friend who's relatively recently-made Hyundai (2015-2016?) barely crawled to 100k. The complexity of modern cars hasn't made them terrible from a reliability standpoint, however we are definitely seeing some backsliding on progress.
I'm so tired of this constant crypto grift. I just hope one day we finally get back to building things of utility.

If you want to build an alternative to GitHub, sure, but keep the tuplip bulb fake money out of it.
In realworld apps you have a lot of "dynamic" areas which are just "click there, ask the server for the changes and reflect that on the web page", this is where liveview is great.

Another case are dynamic elements based on external factors not based on user actions (like for example the message counter on a social network), those are pretty annoying without liveview because you need to build a whole frontend event system just to change a number.
You could probably make this case for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise as well. TNG and Voyager probably fall closer into the "highly-episodic" category, while DS9 and Enterprise tend to be structured around larger ongoing plot lines. I think they all have the same kind of merit as Voyager with regards to discussions about issues and moral decisions.

Depending on the 11-year-old, you might be able to make a case for Seth Macfarlane's The Orville, which can be a bit more hit-and-miss, but does have some truly excellent episodes, particularly in Season 3.

The newer Star Trek series coming out are probably too gritty if the parent is worried about age-appropriateness (I believe Picard has a TV-MA rating?) and unless you really like The Original Series, it's pretty noticeably a product of its age and I personally had trouble staying engaged by it when I was that age.
Like some other commenters have alluded to, one problem at a time, put your other problems onto a shelf for now. Try to give yourself buffers in any and all areas of your life that you can manage. Don't beat yourself up, self-forgiveness and self-acceptance are key. One mental model I've been using for burnout/depression is that my primary goal is to maximize the derivative of energy. That is, I don't care or think about how much energy I actually have, only the rate of increase of energy over some time.
"My intuition tells me that cavemen probably had worse quality of life (experience-wise) than modern humans."

That's a very suggestive judgment. It's likely they felt incredibly more in line with their body, emotions and environment. They were probably experiencing states of "flow" for the majority of their active hours, and frequent genuine happiness and sadness.
But then it's impossible to measure things like fulfillment and happiness from bone remnants and fragments of DNA, so we wouldn't know for sure.
Reminds me of the reaction of the company we bought our greenhouse tunnel from.

Two years after buying it I wanted to install a windows in the rounded roof section of the tunnel.

I made a mistake and cut the wrong section of the roof destroying this section of the transparent plastic cover.

A new cover section would have cost me about 140 Euros if I bought it here. I asked the company what they would charge me for a new sheet (4 by 6 meters btw).

They just asked for my address and told me they would send one free of charge. And they did.

I was positively blown away.

Since then I have recommended about 2.5 to 4k of revenue to them from family and friends.
Ha, 'The 360' was my first computer gig. I remember it well.

By then, Hex ruled the roost and Octal had gone AWOL but kept getting mentioned in dispatches.
So, with nostr, instead of having the servers (relays) communicate, your client has to connect to every single server (relay) in the network?

I still don't get how this is supposed to be better than activitypub.
So that eventually it gets recentralized under something like Opensea or Coinbase?
