So, there's a few angles here.

To add initial context, I'm referring to the general tendency of younger people to have less interest in sex (statistically) than previous generations.

Firstly, you're starting with adult concerns rather than teen actualities - these typically lag reality (parents concerns about things their kids do come through a lens tuned based on the culture norms they grew up with). Sure, the comic questions are adult concerns, but the answers purport to address reality - it's the latter that seems dated.

Secondly, there's also sub-trends in certain areas of the US of increased subscription to (rather than previous rebellion against) sexually conservative rituals like promise rings. Especially in children of relatively more liberal parents. So, these being prevalent don't necessarily speak to concern for increased promiscuity in younger people.

Lastly, I wouldn't rate Disney as a good gauge for young people's genuine tendencies or behaviours. Focus groups aside, the writers aren't young.

> If anything, this maybe dates you more than the comic and your distance from teen experiences

I don't think so.
The real trouble with the alignment problem is that there's no such thing as "human values" with which to align in the first place. There are a lot of people and they don't all value the same thing — and to such an extent that their values are often quite contradictory.

Blame the IIHS. Safety ratings give literally zero concern to the possible effects to pedestrians of a collision, no concern to visibility, and only minimal concern to the effects on the driver on the other side of the collision. It’s a full-on arms race of bulkier frames, huge crumple zones, and more mass.

I've found that most companies treat sysadmins as a cost center while developers were treated as a profit center.

Even when companies specifically state otherwise, it's how they usually behave.

Ok? Most people don't haul enough to warrent buying their own tow vehicle, just rent one for the few times a year you need it. Also, many smaller SUVs can tow a range of loads that most people need. If you exceed this then get a truck.
dcrainmaker has 3 young girls. He uses a cargo bike it seems, even for Christmas tree shopping. His partner rides along side on her own bike. I assume once the girls get old enough, they'll ride their own bikes.

For larger families, I guess each parent would get a cargo bike and split the load.

First time I heard it in English! Your comment made me want to dig deeper... It looks like it comes from the Latin "spelunca", meaning "cave"

Curiously, in Portuguese we have "espelunca" which is more commonly used as a synonym for a seedy, shady place -- and now I know why!
Skimmed the post and there aren't really any "trust me, I'm experienced" items in there. The opinionated bits have detailed reasoning. I have relevant experience pre-seed through C with a bunch of companies, the only thing that stuck out is that the bookkeeping pricing listed is on the low end.

Are they really? A quick search for "US pedestrian deaths by vehicle type" and I came across this 2005 study [0] looking at pedestrian fatalities per mile by vehicle type (and I'll admit some has changed in the nearly 20 years since the study was published). What surprised me was motorcycles caused more pedestrian fatalities than light trucks per billion miles. Urban buses had the highest kill rate, nearly 4 times that as light trucks.

Happen to have anything with more current statics?

Yes, totally agree on the more mindful rebuilding of my physical library.
> I know it sounds hard to believe, but if you're willing to bite the bullet that "the center of the universe" has no physical meaning, then earth can't be not the center of the universe any more than it can be.

I disagree.

The sentence «"the center of the universe" has no physical meaning» requires that Earth can't be at the center of the universe, because there isn't a center for it to be at.

You're still allowed any or many arbitrary zero-points, but that's only the center of a number line, nothing else.

Metabolic health is not the only type of issue overweight people face.

I suspect the real issue is that there are no universally proven ways to reduce weight that have high success rates of adherence - for example, this is why CPAP and insurance is really tricky... too many people wear them for a bit then stop using them, wasting thousands of dollars (between the sleep study and the equipment itself).

Even view it as a simple probability model, you don’t need a million Python repos. The massive amount of English text + 1,000 repos + your codebase is very powerful. You can see this because you can make up a language, give it some examples and it’s surprisingly good.
The divide between techies and normies isn't clear cut. Some of us are "double agents," observing both worlds from the inside. I've been using the command line since 1982, and am a heavy user of markdown.

"It's simple. Here's a terminal command you can use."

It will return an error message on the first try. After much back-and-forth over chat, I'll come to your cube and see for myself that it returns an error message, then find a few more commands and settings that were needed to make it work. The same commands won't work the next time.

"Just use markdown."

The 80/20 rule looms large. Markdown will produce a readable document, but I won't be able to tell you how to make it conform to an existing aesthetic style, or even know where to look for that information.
think people are missing, VBA is all over the place right now. its not going away. because that's the only language that comes pre-installed on a Windows machine in the average Office.

Any other programming language, from powershell to python, is almost certainly locked off and blocked off by corporate security policy and 10 layers of bureaucracy and organizational organizational-ness.

This is how the world actually works. Because the half-broken obsolete proprietary vendor systems that run the world's major corporations need to be glued together to have any semblance of efficiency, and that glue a lot of times is VBA.

It's basically the continuation of the PC revolution, the PC within the PC if you will. Pushing out and decentralizing the access to computing to the desktop of every employee.
Go has exceptions, with the usual stack unwinding. The standard library does not use them (for the most part, panics are sometimes used to simplify error handling code, see encoding/gob). It's like Perl and Rust in this regard. Undocumented exceptions/panics are often considered security vulnerabilities by the Go team.

The argument against exceptions is that non-local control flow can introduce obscure bugs, like forgetting to clean up resources on the (invisible) exceptional execution path. On the other hand, without exceptions, it's possible to end up with no error handling at all by accident, and that too is not visible in the source code (but linters can help, of course).

Many languages which are anti-exception as a matter of principle still use them to report out-of-memory conditions, out-of-bounds array indices, integer division by zero, or attempts to access absent optional values. Not doing this results in code that is simply too verbose.
Lots of tools integrate with Quickbooks and Xero now so you're right that a big chunk of bookkeeping work is pretty automated, but there will always be a bunch of transactions that don't live inside a nice system that will need manual categorisation, e.g. random invoices from vendors that need to be manually paid and categorised.

Outside of categorisation, there's some more technical accounting stuff that also needs to be done, e.g. accounting for revenue properly on the Balance Sheet.
The paper positions these purpose-built models, that explicitly decompose spatial reasoning tasks into sub-tasks, as better than these huge end-to-end models that do everything, at least in terms of interpretability and generalization. I am partial to that argument; my intuition is that the tighter the specification for a task, the better the model can be - because training objectives are clearer, data can be cleaner, models can be smaller, and so on. I feel like that is how my brain works, at least for more complex tasks. However, I do wonder if this is because I naively still want to be able to understand what the model is doing and how is does it, in a symbolic way - when that simply won't lead to the best empirical results.

This is definitely the vibe I get from the mental health establishment. There's so much hot air about "awareness" and "stigma" and telling people "there is help", but that's essentially just marketing. That's not going to do much for someone who's seen a dozen therapists and tried as many medications to virtually no effect, or someone who found the "right treatment" and can hold down a job now but still feels like shit most of the time.

What is a large family?

You can fit 5 people in most normal cars, and 7 (especially children) in some estate cars / station wagons.

Failing that a minivan, although that's unusual.

Many people in Copenhagen and Amsterdam own a car, the difference is they don't use it for every journey. They're also much less likely to own two or more cars than in America.

A child seat on an ordinary bicycle is very common, typically for taking a small child to nursery. Cargo bikes work too, and are good if you have more than one child, although they're much less common than YouTubers would have you believe.

Once children can ride their own bicycle they will, and later they can ride alone. Similarly, they can use public transport, with their parents or alone.
I ducking agree
I refuse to go back to physical books. The Kindle is far easier to hold than a physical book. Ultimately it is more portable, because all books are the same size, no matter how many pages they have, and I can read them on multiple devices. The fonts are adjustable, which my eyes are not. I can have thousands of books in my library, which I cannot contain in my house.

The advantages of Kindle (or similar eInk readers) are overwhelming to me. Are the prices too high? Maybe, but if they're the same as print prices, what am I losing? (Ignoring the question of DRM and whether or not I own my digital editions or not.)

Horstmann was one of my favorite teachers at San Jose State. He's a really sharp guy, and very enthusiastic teacher. I had him for a programming languages class and we dove into the various implementations of closures that were to be added to Java. We compared these to Scala and some other languages. Really fun diving in with his explanations along the way.

I don't think he is doing it strictly because the remaining team can't handle the development. He talked about open sourcing the recommendation algorithm before he even bought Twitter. Back in November 2022 he said:

>One of the things that I believe Twitter should do is open-source the algorithm.

>Any changes to people's tweets -- if they're emphasized or de-emphasized -- that action should be made apparent ... so there's there's no sort of behind-the-scenes manipulation, either algorithmically or manually.
> I suspect that the lack of comments means that most people agree with the sentiment but put off watching the video for later

This was me. Video is rather hard for me, because I need to be in the right time and place for it.
I can relate to this perspective, however, some complexities we have come across in building this so far:

- Support for high number of languages, downstream dependencies
- Intelligent sampling to choose requests with high coverage and auto update them over time
- Performance, safety and data compliance guarantees

> There is a snack called Bamba that they eat in Israel. It's kind of like a peanut butter Cheeto puff, and it is a nearly-universal snack for young kids in Israel. It melts in your mouth, so a 6-month-old can eat it almost as soon as they eat solid foods. It's about as popular in Israel as Cheerios are in the US, maybe more so. The hypothesis is that Bamba consumption there dramatically lowers the risk of developing peanut allergies.

It's not the government's job to fix everything or engineer a perfect society, and personal choice and freedom matter too.

This YouTuber, like many other people who favor a denser urban lifestyle, looks down on people who disagree with him and wants the government to coerce them into living the way he wants them to. "Externalities" are just an excuse for that, and even if those externalities were removed he would find other justifications because the root cause is that he doesn't like the people who prefer a different lifestyle than him.
I would not be surprised if there is an element of responsibility that is missing from the story.

If the problems you cause will cause yourself future pain, but not others, then you should get privilege proportional to your responsibility.

If the problems that are caused will be experienced by someone else, and that person is already under a lot of pressure, every new small problem has a chance of being the piece of straw that breaks the camels back.

If the person writing comments is oncall, but OP is not, then OP is wrong and OP needs to be put on the oncall rotation to get some empathy.

"You dealing with this problem is a price I'm willing to pay" probably isn't going to have good outcomes for anyone.

"I'm going to write this system that other people will be responsible for maintaining" isn't going to have good outcomes for the people who inherit it.

If OPs money is where his mouth is, if it's OPs skin in the game and not the person writing comments, then what the commenter says doesn't really matter that much. If OP is writing checks that are debited to the commentors account, well, OP is in the wrong.

Regardless, OP does not trust his co-worker and thinks his coworker acts in bad faith, and that is a problem the manager needs to address.

Me vs them is not a productive mindset and is the one OP clearly has. Us vs the problem is a productive mindset.
This comment will probably give you hives, but the inability to interpret things like QM literally and the inability of the left brain to process things holistically seems relevant to the interpretability problem.

But that’s never happened in the past. Why should it happen now? The Industrial Revolution is used as an example because it was the biggest spike in productivity, but the general trend has been the same since the invention of tools. Agriculture, another perfect example, lead to others having time to produce things instead of hunting/gathering. It’s easy to grasp with the agriculture example that “unemployment” wasn’t even really a risk.

Sure, there will be niche sub-industries that will be erased by LLMs, and people who have those niche skills will suffer. This has always been the case with technological advances. And always, it has not disrupted the economy.

I’d be shocked if that were the case, even only considering the Earth. The oceans and the atmosphere are full of entropy. So is the liquid outer core. And even if the mantle is not quite liquid, and even if the crust is mostly solid, these are huge in terms of volume and mass, much larger than the sliver of dirt we inhabit on top of them. So yeah, I really doubt we (collectively, all human beings) are changing the Earth’s entropy in any meaningful way.
