Having a 4 month old sitting next to me as I write this, I think the prevailing opinion among my more woke friends with kids is, "screens are bad." As I read this, it seems to come to a correlative conclusion that screen time before 12 months causes executive function impairment as the time increases from 1 hour to 4 hours. Being a lay consumer of scientific material, I'm curious to understand if I'm reading this correctly.

And man. Screens. Addiction and disability were never the goal. :(

"Who Owns the Future?" is exactly a book about developing good outcomes, and building a future that supports humanity and happiness.

But you can also read it at an obtuse angle and see the problems outlined to resolve as opportunities for personal gain.

It's just a matter of perspective.

Unfortunately I don't have a good blog article about this.

I actually thought it would be good to write a k8s blog article After Reading this blog.

If you can, click yourself a small cluster in one of the big cloud providers.

Alternativly I think Google has some k8s colabs were you can try it out.

Setting up a small application yourself or looking into what helm charts exist might help

Same here. Flask with HTMX and bit of HyperScript (if you dare) has become very pleasant so far. I wished I had discovered it before. I do not know for sure if it can fulfill complex apps, but this also invites to rethink an app in terms of the original web instead, exchange HTML, not JSON + all the transformations that need to take place in the FE. I found the HTMX memes hilarious and very true actually: https://htmx.org/essays/ Maybe is time to rediscover simpler tools and frameworks.

My biggest gripe with the current hype is the lack of genuine curiosity.

Maybe it’s the circles I'm in, maybe it’s only HackerNews, but I feel that the biggest question for many people isn’t "How does it work, and how can we make it work better?", but rather:

"How to get rich quick?"
It's way easier to write believable dystopian novels because you are deconstructing what already is rather than building something new. The smart ones are the ones capable of writing the utopian novels.
I don't know if it's a scam but there's been guys hanging around the local greyhound station with stories like "my phone battery died while I was on the bus, can I use your phone to call my buddy to pick me up". And I don't want to be a jerk but something about it felt a bit too pushy, and if I give then my phone I was probably never going to see it or them again. Now just giving it unlocked to a squeegee kid? Hell no, that's just plain naive.
Utterly weary am I of the ceaseless banter regarding the pessimistic, antiquated artificial intelligence discourse perpetuated on Hacker News... boomer doomerism. boring. doesn't help that the dude looks like he crawled out of the last century.
It's really obvious when you put a c-suite 40-something or 50-something exec on a blue collar team: nobody's gonna be fooled for a minute. It's like that SNL skit of Kylo Ren from Star Wars going undercover in the employee cafeteria.

As long as you spring it on them they won't have a chance to tidy up first. They'll still be on their best behavior and follow every rule to a T once the exec shows up though.

I've seen some astounding projects using the Raspberry Pi Pico "PIO" to create n64 Flash carts and now HDMI adapters. I don't have the slightest knowledge of how this stuff works but I imagine it is some sort of bit banging like process. Do you think it would be possible to simulate something like a soundcard using Raspberry Pi Pico? These devices seem like a great and really cost effective way to design around expensive FPGA based designs.
I would say my liberal friends often allow their kids more screen time (and a much more diverse/adult range of content ratings) than my conservative friends.

So I'll blame this study on media consumption along with the other studies posted here about that topic every month.

Great point and something to really keep in mind with this stuff.

But when it comes to usefulness of the study, I disagree. It indicates something is off but like you point out, the problem isn't likely with the teenagers. Something else going on around them is worth digging into and figuring out why there is an imbalance.

You’re already limiting your imagination to “coding.”

These are data transformers that can transform raw data without coding at all. At what point does a model itself replace code?

It’s sort of like a CPU, right. You can have hardware that specialized, or general purpose hardware that can do anything once instructed. LLMs have the ability to be general purpose data manipulators without first having to be designed (or coded) to perform a task.
I feel Penrose P2 tiles are better in that sense. I think you could craft something with that kind of "fractal interestingness" by using color to emphasize the larger regular patterns that can occur in a Penrose tiling.

My first career was a chef. When I asked a friend of the family who owned a restaurant when I was teenager what steps I should take to become a chef, the advice he gave was "Get a job as a dishwasher in a restaurant because the most important thing you need to know is to respect your dishwasher because anytime everything goes wrong and you are in a jam, it is your dishwasher who will save you." Unknown to me the restaurant that hired me when I was 17 as a dishwasher was also one of the most prestigious restaurants in California in the early 90s which lead to years cooking in Michelin Star restaurants. Good advice.
One thing that I don't understand: why design useEffect api with dependencies array which does not get passed in the function?

If you ask me, I'd design it the following way:

useEffect(f, {a, b, c});

...
function f({a, b, c}) {
...
}

Function f is supposed to be declared outside of render function.

This way you must specify all the dependencies. JavaScript will bite you with undefined value, TypeScript will bite you with compilation error. The drawback is that you'd need to pass setValue functions which are typically immutable, but I don't think that's a bad thing anyway.
wrong, you also need to not get caught

Not sure what you mean, you just need one account for all of Discord, joining a new server is just one click away. Or do you make a new account for each server? That seems unreasonably hard to keep track of. I guess the search could be better but I've never really had too many problems with it and I've seen far far worse implementations. Such as Rocket Chat which has completely broken search. Literally never returns anything.

But yes chat is chat, you can't compare it to a forum style board because they're not trying to do the same thing. You do typically need both a Discourse and a chat server for any major organization.
I'd even argue that if you are given a bunch of code of which 20% is incorrect, it's going to take more than 20% time to fix that. If you've written 100%, you know what the code is doing, what kind of data the variables are supposed to hold etc. In the 80-20% case you've got to build the internal model, test the code, reason and think about it, all of which you would have done during writing.

There are so many nuances to these kinds of statistics (same as the github copilot claims) that they give me a little marketing nausea every time they are claimed as truth.
Animators are still needed, because not all motions can be captured.
Corporations, especially banks, have been co-opted by the government and used for enforcing their whims. This is one example of that.

Would the upstream processor really care what their customers' business is - probably not. But are they afraid of political and legal issues that would outweigh the benefit of working with sex (or marijuana, etc) businesses? Yes, certainly.
> Social repercussions are not the only consequences however, and the "muh consequences" crowd conflates social repercussions (I didn't get invited to the party) with material life repercussions (I had my bank account closed). These are not the same.

That's fair.
There is the learning curve, which can be challenging for organizations that aren’t experienced or exposed to scale and performance expectations. When a company moves away from being insular & proprietary to using open source there is a period of churn that ripples through the deployment, implementation and day to day operations aspect of products that live either on customer premises or a cloud platform new to everyone.

There, what YOU know from experience and have evolved and worked through is unknown—because it is all new. And “training” (such as it is) is left as an exercise for each individual.

I’d expect that is the norm for the traditional non startup firms, globally.
So you never owned a smartphone or tablet but think they're "terrible computers"?

That sounds like an uninformed opinion. Power dissipation sucks on PCs because they're PCs using x86 basically.
> While I agree that violence in videogames is the "easy way out", the default mode of interaction that unimaginative designers reach for, I disagree this is because of limitations in AI.

You have an obstacle in your way. You use your skills to aim the crosshairs correctly and pull the trigger at the correct time. If successful, you are rewarded with the obstacle being removed. Then the loop repeats for just long enough so that you don't feel fatigued. It's a power fantasy and satisfying when balanced so that it's just within your reach.

Mapping it to guns, combat and violence is definitely the easy way to do things. Also one that sells a lot.

If you think about it, though, a similar loop exists pretty much anywhere there is a challenge in a game, violent or otherwise. You can turn that loop into a social skills challenge, but it's generally easy to see through those to the rules behind them, making them feel mechanical and hollow. That's one area where AI may be able to help, it's hard to tell.

This is one of the things that bothers me about Apples app install process; I reinstall my OS often and when I start installing software via App Store, Apple displays the price and the notification that you will be charged never giving the user prior indication of whether the app is a new version that you will or will not pay for. With all the brilliant heads behind Apple you would think they would be able to get the UX right on this.

This may kill the WWW as we know it. I can almost see an alternate 'web' finally taking off, but not really, as the majority just want TikTok left alone.
Yes and no. You can totally create a simple game with ChatGPT but you still need to take the code it spits out, paste it somewhere, compile and/or run it in some environment. Until someone builds an interactive ChatGPT code sandbox for Javascript or Python. I'm sure someone at this very moment is working on something like this, if it already doesn't exist.
First line:

Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan told employees Thursday that he’ll work a half day every month at one of the coffee giant’s locations.

Something tells me it'll be something like 1-5pm; not the 7am rush.
The company receiving the payment needs to convert the BTC to fiat if they want to pay their employees, infrastructure costs, etc.

At a small scale, there are a lot of options to go around it and also avoid KYC, but it's not really a viable solution for a company. They have to work with a bank or another payment processor to convert the crypto and/or manage whatever traditional currency the crypto is converted to. A few years ago, there was a wave of large company accepting crypto (eg. tesla), but most of them have backed down from it.

It's like accepting gold coins as a payment for your company. You can't pay your taxes or wages with those even if they have a stable value.
I'm going to be frank here, because I know my argument isn't "cheap". When one utilizes OSINT techniques (which using an ML service hosted by a third-party certainly qualifies as), there are baked-in assumptions that

1) this source could go away at any time, and

2) the source is only a reflection of the interests of the third-party, not something to be taken at face value.

No 2 can certainly be the subject of research, but to do so without accounting for No 1 would indicate bad research practices from the jump. For example, they could have (and should have) been snapshotting the outputs, tagged with versions & dates. By the sound of it, the outputs weren't even the subject of research, but were instead propping up the research. That flies in the face of No 2 as well. Let them start over, with better methodology this time.
I saw Terraform and thought of the infra as code tool by Hashicorp. This Terraform Labs is unrelated, they ran another major cryptocurrency scam.

Not arguing for or against Montenegrin corruption. Just saying that this incident doesn't contribute to the corruption theory.
This is good. But it should be unannounced. He should just show up and work.
A little bit of knowledge can be less than useless. It gives the impression of understanding while passing over the harsher realities. The way that such a move is enacted matters.
Is this shift scheduled on a random Saturday/Sunday with ~48 hours notice. Does the shift last 8 hours? Does his replacement randomly show up 30 minutes late and he needs to work an extra 30 minutes with zero notice? Does he need to open the shop bright and early after closing the night before? If the CEO is insulated from these rather common experiences then the exercise masks the problems with a veneer of understanding.
Yeah. I used to work outside the valley, until 2008. I moved to San Jose to work with friends I worked with from Netscape.

Until I moved, I earned five figures, you know a bit more each year, and was happy. I had a house, a big spacious house by San Jose standards, and a nice town with friendly friends and so on. When I started in SV, they raised me to USD 120,000 and the HR recruiter literally apologized for it not being more. Since then it has gone up about four x, for no really good reason that I can see, since it is fun work I would do for much less. Only when you get into profit per worker does it make sense.

And that isn’t due to some moral failure entirely, but something about the weird asymmetries that networked technology seems to facilitate. One little neighborhood, but services and products for dozens or hundreds of countries. Each time a country is added to the network, the winner takes some more.
I've not tested it further, but I wondered what happened when I saw a "Plus subscriber login link" input field - resulted in that. In fact, I wonder if one could automate the request to the API endpoint (all headers, authorization and everything) when the browser sees a "ChatGPT down" message. (Of course, you have to click the link in the email, but if you grant the tool access to your email to automate that, that probably isn't the best thing for "principle of least privilege")
There's never been a camp of computer science that said anything but the truth, which is that CS is applied mathematics.

However, there is a pragmatic school of hacking, which says that results are all the matters. If you're in a startup, you should be pragmatic, and worse is better.

Nobody truly believes that CS is engineering.
Yes, we're using Vue 3 and composition-style components over at https://radiopaper.com. My only gripe is that Vue's standard templates can't be typed as thoroughly as JSX can (IME - after mixed experiences with Vetur/VTI[1]), but we've been gradually migrating everything to TSX via render functions[2] and finding it perfectly capable. Added bonus is an ease of composition of template code – small local-use components can easily be split out within the same file for readability, in contrast with Vue SFC's. Vue even has true "function components" now! [3] (nice to have in really minimal cases)

> hooks are THE mechanism they CHOSE to expose component life cycle

Yes, and component lifecycle itself is an escape-hatch (or airlock, or whatever).

> Function component React would be useless without these hooks; the DOM is an external system!

It is an external system, but most fundamental idea of React is that you don't have to write your own effects or lifecycle logic for updating the DOM (the great majority of the time). That's the whole point. The way React lets you update the DOM without using a side-effects programming model most of the time is the reason people use it. Instead of writing side-effects toward the DOM, you write a unidirectional flow of values derived from other values which bottoms-out in DOM (which React then "affects" for you). Custom effects are (mostly) for the situations where you're updating an external system that isn't the DOM.

The biggest problems in my experience come when effects become a part of the core domain logic. That's where things get really hard to follow, and that's the most important thing to discourage. Effects should be reserved for the boundary between the app and the outside world (minus normal DOM updates).
It can be both. If you have a better way to run your company, why not do it and also score a bonus PR win in the process?
The unique feature of the new tile isn't that it will tile aperiodically. It's that it will only tile aperiodically. If you just want an aperiodic tiling, you can achieve it with 2x1 rectangles. There's a big list of such patterns here:

The link's whole thesis is that Cash App doesn't really care, which is why criminals prefer it. Being so radically frictionless for the underbanked also facilitates scams, including those that distinguish between theft and fraud.
My boss (head of engineering) loves ChatGPT and he uses it more and more in work. Recently he just wrote an crucial feedback after one of our meetings and the moment I started reading, it was obvious it's ChatGPT (confirmed by ZeroGPT later) as he does not talk like that at all. It read like all the other ChatGPT responses you read on Internet.
I think that is correct about teens but the article seems to be using them as a (sensitive) barometer of their family/friends for the reasons you say, it references “family education etc. I think this article was referenced in a roll up here for further reading: https://www.slowboring.com/p/why-are-young-liberals-so-depre...
