When all of her friends communicate through social medias, she will feel excluded if she is the only one without it.

It is the same problem as, when younger, all my friends had a phone and I hadn't. Except much worse because social media really became a big part of the social and cultural life of teenagers.

I don't believe a ban would be effective unless it also applies to her social circle too. I know in some rare schools, parents organized themselves to all commit to not let their child use social medias. That might be another lead, but unlike a formal ban, it won't deter platforms to attempt to attract and retain the attention of our kids.

I think in the meantime, the best approach is probably trying to limit her time using it, making her internalize the negative consequences, and try to limit the content she posts.
>You call it "alt-left", I proudly call it "Antifa".

Yeah, I wonder why you're only concerned about right wing trolling - left wing abuse is a-okay with you?
Nice to see the author created discussion threads on lobste.rs, Hacker News and r/programming
Lucky. I haven't been seeing anything for a long time and due to old habits from studying entomology, I habitually identify any butterfly I see. I can tell a Monarch from a Viceroy at a distance just because the latter flies differently.

I haven't seen either one since early covid, when they were suddenly more common for whatever reason.
About the scope of the job, remember that that which took 10 years 10 years ago, often does not take 10 years today. And there is nothing wrong with starting a 10 year project anyway, any day. They all have to start some time.
WW2 had an immense importance in the minds of people who lived it. Gulf War... who even cares about it, except for the ones involved? Many people don't even remember that.
Show HN: Dixit lets you search quotes close to your idea [Semantic quote search]
[LLM-based semantic search meets historical quotes]
Hello HN,

Want to sound smart, impress a date, get the right quotation to introduce this essay?
Dixit lets you type an idea, and searches for historical quotations that roughly convey the the same idea, but probably in a cooler formulation + with the authority stamp of someone who has a Wikipedia page.

I built it over the 3 last weekends (and a few nights). It was quite fun!
Dixit uses 25,000 quotations, a light language model from HuggingFace hub, Django, Railway server, and some CSS animations that I find cool.
The code is available at http://github.com/A-Roucher/dixit.

Next thing I'll do is keep improving the database to remove some quotes and add many more.
Please don't hesitate to propose improvements!
Workers want to be comfortably near jobs. Not so close you breath the fumes. Not so far you commute by plane. Ideally with good schools if you want kids, and other activities besides walking on concrete.

Astute. I have concluded there are social mental illnesses, and celebrity is absolutely a generator of one of those.

Borrowing isn't implicit, as you have an &. But even beyond that, clone is not implicit because it may be an expensive operation, and so Rust wants to expose that to you. It avoids issues like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8704318

What's your approach? Do you only believe arguments that sound unconvincing? Or just ignore all arguments, and try to adopt the beliefs that the popular kids in the schoolyard talk about?
Programming languages already have dialects, but there is a distinction between dialects and registers, even in linguistics. They blur in some cases (AAVE for example), but dialects are usually thought of more as a variety of language used by people in geographic or cultural grouping; registers are used by users in different social situations. For example, when I give a presentation I use a very different register from when I have a drink with my friends.

But if you, as an "anyone" who is a railway engineer who's able to write effectively about electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, or are a person living in, say, I don't know, East Palestine, Ohio, or now, Springfield, Ohio, and want to add things to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Ohio_train_derailment, you can just click the edit button and add stuff.

Anyone with an Internet connection can go to their website or load up their app and hit [edit] and make changes, and it's been that way since 2001. There's not even a user account required for most. There are those that get caught up by wide IP-based blocks against middle schooler spam, and they do have to create a user account.
I'd rather have another Macbook 12". Mine is a fantastic travel device. It would be incredible with a juiced up processor.
> Bullshit jobs are not specific to state capitalist

Yes, but unlike in socialist governments, companies with a lot of bullshit jobs will die due to being inefficient. Thats the point of capitalism. Nobody has to work to support other able bodied humans rent seeking off their labor and capital.

But in the US this is not true, as we don't have true capitalism in the US, we have a socialist mix and the govt can sometimes prop up inefficient companies.

But in socialism, authoritarians will remain in power for decades even if the majority doesn't like it. Rent seeking is a natural state of affairs in more socialist countries.
>knowing alerts are down, you can actively monitor using other tools/reporting for the duration of their incident.

If you just want notifications for when datadog is down, their StatusPage does a fine job of clearly communicating incidents.

I wouldn't want to rely on a "when multiple of our 'missing business metric' monitors alert, check and see if datadog is down" step in a runbook. I don't like false alerts. I don't like paging folks about false alerts. Waking up an oncall dev at 2am saying all of production is down when it is just datadog is bad for morale. Alert fatigue is a real and measurable issue with consequences. Avoiding false alerts is good. If the notification says "all of production is down" and that isn't the case, there is impact for that. I'd much prefer having a StatusPage alert at a lower severity and communication level say "datadog ingestion is down".

Instead, use their StatusPage notifications and then execute your plan from that notification, not all of your alerts firing.

>And why would you have no logs?

I mean Datadog logs/metrics etc. Currently, we are missing everything from them. We can still ssh into things etc, they aren't gone, but from the Datadog monitor's view in this scenario, they stopped seeing logs/metrics and would alert if Datadog didn't automatically mute them.

>why would you communicate to your customers without any idea of the scope or cause of the issue?

We prioritize Time To Communicate as a metric. When we notice and issue in production, we want customers to find out from us that we are investigating instead of troubleshooting and encountering the issue themselves, getting mad, and clogging up our support resources. Flaky alerts here don't work at all for us.
I don’t see much real difference to an end user between an eSIM and an “iSIM.” iSIM seems to me just to be Qualcomm’s name for their own eSIM solution that will come in the same package as their SoCs. There may be an extremely small power-savings to be had, but that’s probably easily overwhelmed by other aspects of the phone hardware and software.
Interpreting things as inappropriate is your prerogative.

When you're still saying things like

> You farm it by playing every day, doing the daily quests / challenges, and you get a decent number of coins. This is different from rubies, which are more limited.

While not realizing the entire crux of the issue is "a decent number" is a completely arbitrary limit designed to encourage compulsive engagement and monetary spend, which is something that is predatory... implies that you have fallen for it hook line and sinker and are now simply incapable or unwilling to see it from any other viewpoint than "acceptable".
I disagree, Google Groups and Usenet are immortal now that they have been included into LLM training corpuses.

I don't see why this couldn't be regulated in the same way that HIPPA protects our health information.

Onerous regulation and business-killing fines have the added bonus of making the collection of personal data extremely unappealing. This is a case where the threat of regulation and enforcement has a strongly positive chilling effect on an industry.

And, if you're in an industry that must collect personal information for whatever reason, it's still possible and legal.
I love SumatraPDF, one of the best pieces of software that I use. It's stable, light, does what I expect it to do and didn't change interface or add a bloat of random functionality.

Thanks for all of you work.
The actual national security concern is probably for state-sponsored psyops.

We know Russia was able to pump a bunch of psyops campaigns into Western social media, most NATO governments now have dedicated branches that root out this kind of information.

But Russia's programs were really obtuse and relatively easy to trace. On the other hand, TikTok is all about flooding people with niche content areas. And content is consumed so much faster that it propagates quicker. And keep in mind TikTok is still state-sponsored by China despite the algorithm being so addictive that it is banned domestically.

My tinfoil hat is that US officials have reports that the Chinese state is having influence on the American news cycles, but doesn't want to admit that it's made its way already into news media and politics issues.

I like the f's a lot actually but I think there's a clear problem with the spacing when a title is two lines, and the f's really exacerbate it. But I also don't want to fiddle with my CSS.
Except that it isn't. If you adopt that framing, you are working with a mindset that the government gets to figure out what to do with your money first and you get the leftovers. That is a completely different mindset than setting the expectation that the the people get to decide (via representatives) what money the government gets and how it should be spent.

Those two mindsets are very different and I would argue is one of the ways that the left and the right are different.
You may be partially right, but IIRC one of the studies which found a significant decrease was specifically taking bug samples from number plates rather than windscreens because number plates have been the same shape and in the same orientation for years.
Latest scoop:

At 06:00 UTC on March 8th, 2023 the Datadog platform started experiencing widespread issues across multiple products. The web application was unavailable or intermittently loading, and data ingestion & monitor evaluation were delayed.

We have identified and remedied the issue that caused this outage. We will prepare and share a detailed root cause analysis as soon as possible after our incident response is complete, but we can share a preliminary analysis now. A critical software update applied to a broad set of hosts in our infrastructure caused a subset of these hosts to lose network connectivity.

The primary impact of this was that several of our regional Kubernetes clusters became unhealthy, affecting the control plane that keeps our workloads running smoothly. At this point, we believe we have repaired all the affected Kubernetes clusters, and our recovery efforts are now focused on the application layer above this.

The web application is now generally available, although data and monitor evaluation remains delayed in some cases (refer to the Status Page in your region for the latest information). We have made substantial progress on restoring the various core services that were impacted by the incident, and have now moved on to getting our data processing pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and other data into a healthy state.

It is difficult to give a precise ETA on our full recovery and we are focusing our efforts on restoring real-time data and alerts within a matter of hours (not minutes, but also not days). The recovery of historical data (between the start of the outage and 15 minutes in the past) has been deprioritized.

We understand the impact an outage can have, and are sorry for the disruption.

It is a fallacy to say scientists don't know what is causing it but they/we know its humans for sure! Huh? What?! That don't make no damn sense. You got to know something before you know it, you know?

In your vulture example we know why the vultures died so we can tie it to a human behavior. We don't know why the bees die or what the deal is with the mites so we can't tie it to human behavior. You are still making a leap of faith, no matter how logical or likely it seems or in fact is.
Only about 10% of the links I ask for don't resolve.

The core issue is their use of data, if you enact laws to curb that behavior then that covers not only tiktok but the "thousands of shity games/apps owned partially by tencent". If they continue to break the rules then you ban them and any other that is not complying; including domestically owned companies like facebook that harvest your data and use it to influence elections undemocratically.
I guess you are deferring (appealing?) to the authority of the International Organization for Standardization and their list of country codes then, which is fair enough, but not really to the Passport Office, which doesn't make mention of the word country in their passports and is not really weighing in on this semantic dispute, despite using an ISO code. I'm not trying to advance any evidence that Scotland etc. "really are" countries, rather that it is very common usage of the word, per wikipedia it seems that even the Prime Minister's office and the ONS use it, as does more or less everyone I know, that is all.
HUD Raises Term Limit for Modified FHA Mortgages to 40 Years
Calling it the least boring number was a joke, really. I do maintain two points seriously. First, that the digit frequency in this number reveals how it was generated and that characteristic lifts it off the floor of "least interesting numbers". Yes, there are a lot of numbers in this keyboard smash group. There are also a lot of primes. Second, I am going to give some credit to this number, 385734874675783289473. You can come up with a hypothetical, describe what might have happened in other universes. But, that's not what actually happened. Not all of the interestingness should be split because only one of those numbers actually showed up in this discussion in this universe. There's something unromantic about forgetting that, like a man sending a small anniversary present to every woman he went to college with because maybe he'd have ended up marrying any of them.
I believe this is the answer. I'm a career military officer, but without any inside knowledge, and the most troubling "red team" ideas that I've read involve an adversary targeting our troops and families in their ordinary lives at home, where we're soft targets. Troops accept the fact that they might be told to put themselves at-risk overseas, but they expect that their spouses and children will be safe in their own neighborhoods, that their utilities will keep working[1], that their identities and bank accounts won't be stolen, etc.

We go after terrorists and insurgents the same way by learning their social networks and patterns of life. I'm sure that we wish we had stuff on our adversaries like the data from the OPM breach[2], the Strava fitness data, or the kind of data that TikTok can collect on their phones.

I like your theory, which seems to explain a lot of things (like why I'm not attracted to such organizations, for example). Especially the last part:

In fact these organizations want weaker people at the bottom doing the grunt work as they are easier to control: They are all about figuring out how to build systems out of interchangeable cogs, under the premise that if you do enough build engineering then you can take almost any competent coder and get at least some contribution out of them (even if you end up needing ten times as many employees as a tradeoff).

Corollary being: if the work itself is structured so that much of it is viewed as "grunt work" - then by definition, the people stuck doing it (L3s in this case) are viewed disdainfully.
Just like america's style of "NO BOOZE UNTIL 21" while building a stupidly pro-getting shitfaced culture results in new college kids who have extreme levels of binge drinking, a complete ban with sudden access at a certain age will just leave us with kids suffering from horrible and debilitating addictions to social media right as they leave the home.

Maybe educate your kids in media literacy, and engender in them an understanding of high quality media vs low quality media, or how social media should be considered like a giant bucket of ice cream: Tasty but really bad for your health.
When you visit your friend's house do they get to rape you when you walk in the door or are they expected to establish some sort of consent first?
I also wonder about the latency of the behringer interface. I've had one before, the sound quality is pretty good for entry level high-fi audio, but when I've run the audio into a DAW and back out post-processing there has always been an audible delay.

Granted, this was in windows, but from what I understand there is always going to be some audible processing delay with a USB 2.0 interface.

You seem to be making several points here which as far as I can tell boil down to the following:

- the COVID pandemic reduced some of our freedoms, but now they are back.

- GPDR is not perfect regulation. It has holes that let bad behavior sneak through.

RE: Your first point. This is an apples to oranges comparison. COVID restrictions were never anything unusual - the CDC has had legal authority to enforce quarantine for a very long time. It used those powers ascribed to it by law, and then stopped doing so when it was no longer needed. That's not at all what this thread is about, which is the government deciding that certain applications are unacceptable for it's citizens by fiat.

RE: Your second point. The EU has much stronger protections under GPDR than if it didn't exist. The answer to an imperfect regulation is not to abandon the regulation, it's to improve it. That's why we have a process to build new laws or change them. To solve problems. It's like saying the problem with your car is that it is low on oil, so instead of refilling the oil you decide to just walk.
So does Facebook, and Instagram, and Ring cameras, and iRobot vacuums, and voice assistant devices such as Alexa...

Where's the government to protect us? Where's the FBI? Are they working inside these companies? Is there a clear conflict of interest?
