Incredible project under dire circumstances.

But is not Undeniable.

I spent some time talking to groups of denialists. Conversations are something like:

- Hello, your creed is not real, because [some facts].
- These facts are not true, it's fake created by [nasa, globalists, etc]
- It's not fake, because [some facts about facts]
- You get paid by a [globalists, nasa, etc]

In some cases, some of my "imagined characteristics" are used to accuse me of something. My profile does not have this information, the person takes it out of nowhere.

- You are defending [male, gay, female] because you are [gay, male, female, cis, etc]

At the end of the day, the facts don't matter, it's important to stand up for something:

-Your data is wrong, it's not 53% of x or y, it's 0.3%.
- 0.3% is important anyway, it is not changed.
In the case, 0.3% is irrelevant.

Goals change.

- See, some facts:

- And, about [something else, not related to the lecture]

Basically, I see three types of denialists:

- The lonely person looking for some community. The community replaces other traditional groups like the church. These people will defend the creed, often without understanding it. It seems to be 80% of all denialists.

- Rich people with some Christian/capitalist guilt.

- People with a real mental problem

- People who know the truth but earn some money from the creed. These people keep denial alive by creating factoids when they can.

I don't talk to these people anymore. I don't know how to help them and in the end it can be very stressful and sad.
> As a conservative, I believe that certain government regulations are necessary for maintaining order and public safety. Regulations like driving licenses, school books, urbanization laws, and restrictions on selling alcohol to minors serve to protect citizens and maintain social order. Similarly, regulating the possession of nuclear and chemical weapons is essential to national security and global stability.

> When it comes to firearms, many conservatives acknowledge that some level of regulation is necessary to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands. Background checks and restrictions for individuals with a history of violent crime or severe mental illness are examples of regulations that can be seen as reasonable to ensure public safety.

> However, the key distinction for conservatives is the extent to which these regulations infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. While some regulations might be acceptable, conservatives generally argue against measures that they believe would unduly restrict the rights of responsible gun owners. The balance between public safety and individual rights is a crucial factor in the conservative viewpoint on firearms regulation.

Seems pretty reasonable to me, and I don't fall into the bucket of what people from the US would call "conservative".
I recently saw a short video by Syria's Assad in which he argues that parents should be able to dictate their religious beliefs to their children, rather than allowing children to decide their religious beliefs on their own initiative.

It's somewhat less extreme than the old medieval feudal that the feudal lord should be able to dictate their religious beliefs to their serf population, but not really by much.

Freedom of choice with respect to religious beliefs, and legal bans on religious discrimination, are a fundamental necessity in any democratic system of government. Additionally, children do have the right to privacy, just as adults do.

This gets repeated a lot by C64 fan boys and yet solid fill 3d games were playable on the Spectrum and not on the C64 because the C64 processor was dog slow.

Weird. It's almost like people have taken an extreme edge case example and tried to extrapolate it to the general or real world case.

Real world performance pegs a 6502 as the equivalent of a Z80A running at twice the speed, not 3.5 times.

Who is going to want to buy "new" ICE cars in Europe after 2035?

Gasoline sale is already plummeting by up to 30% a year some places in Norway. The people who drive the most are the first to convert to EVs since the economics make more sense for them, and newer cars get driven more than very old ones. So EVs will soon dominate the number of miles driven and thus the impact on fuel sale will be larger than you'd think.

By 2025 I think you'll start to see gas stations closing down in Norway. By 2035 you'll see the same across Europe. You'll still have gas stations here and there. But it's not going to be as close and convenient as it is now. Even just a few gas stations closing down will get people to panic about whether they'll have a local gas station in the near future. Who will want to buy a new ICE vehicle in that situation?

Sure, there will be some enthusiasts. But not enough that it's worth thinking about.

Decision-making doesn’t scale, so there’s a practical reason not to have thousands and thousands of people in that decision-making ring.
I still hold that it doesn't "understand". Even if it answered all questions perfectly, stopped making mistakes, and produced fully working programs better than the best crack developer teams, that still doesn't mean it "understands". "Understanding" is not an output, it's a process, that is sometimes (but not always) measured by its output.

I can't find anything about this term with a web search, and currently suspect it might be a typo.
I oversee some digital signage that uses RSS to add the day's news.

We have two issues: there are fewer and fewer sources of RSS; and those that do exist frequently use meaningless titles like "Look at this!".

I can't really blame the news channels, they don't get any revenue from these streams.

Wow, you learned programming specifically to work with AI? That is an inspiring level of flexibility in skills and self-identification. Perhaps many of us will need to learn how to do that sort of reinvention sooner, rather than later.
All I ever wanted something similar to the Skybox VR Player (from Oculus) with iTunes integration and AppleTV, and keep the external access (videos on my local network) with a lighter, sleeker headset.

I hoped that if Apple was not burdened with hardware that was trying to create the best general-purpose VR experience, and focused on this primary (killer) app experience, they'd corner that accessible entertainment and have the base on which to grow. You don't have to know about the metaverse/VR to just want to watch a great movie...

A focus on a large screen in a 3D setting might take away many of the challenges in supporting a more immersive experience that has to deal with much more challenging game rendering issues.

To sum up: I'd like a lightweight, portable, headset to watch movies on the big-screen and not look like a dork on an airplane.
Thanks for sharing, I'm sorry to hear about all the problems you're having.

I think a major issue is just water being the root of all evil for house problems and the bigger your house is, the more recent it was built, the more corners were cut. It's all compounded by contractors wanting to overcharge you if you're in an expensive neighborhood and not give you the time of day otherwise.

It's like you could just say, "let's just get rid of all this extra furniture and stuff and live within our means. The kids don't need that many toys." But then the argument falls on deaf ears and you wind up with the neverending complexities of redecorating, contractors, insurance claims and stress.
The ultimate beneficiary is the owner since his business model makes an assumption on tipping to employ waitstaff and run a "viable" business.

Business models that rely on tipping to cover basic business model costs should be reconsidered.

For the business owner, they have to consider the tradeoffs if they want to maintain the current waitstaff: quantity of staff, hours, variety of menu options, decor, desired profitability, amount of automation, quality of food, etc.

The immediate beneficiary is the waitstaff, which will no have to reconsider their employment or their demands of the business owner.

For the waitstaff, they will move on to other companies that either figure out a business model to pay a livable wage or consider alternative types of positions. Eventually the surviving restaurants will adjust pricing and hourly rates/salaries like every other normal business. There will be positions available for entry level waitstaff and more experienced waitstaff.

TLDR: The beneficiaries of tipping overreached — don't be surprised by a backlash.

The answer perhaps depends on how you define "understanding" and "meaning", and whether these concepts are separable from language at all.

This is also the difference between JLCPCB and many others.

I go to JLC and they show me a price. First thing, in my face. Including the (very reasonable) constraints that I have to meet to get that specific price.

I go to PCBway... price, in my face.

I go to Aisler... "upload your Gerber file here". This is fine for returning hobbyists who already have a file, but if you're considering whether you want to invest the time into the project, not knowing whether it will be $2 or $200 puts a serious damper on even wanting to start.

With hobbyists, this isn't just a deciding factor to get customers choose the competitors, it creates customers: Seeing the JLCPCB prices actually motivated me to learn KiCAD and make my own PCB.

Just to see it from another angle. I'm german and moved to italy 1.5 years ago. And the bureaucracy was refreshing for me. Everything was so easy compared to germany. I only visited an office ones, the rest was all with digital signature (including permissions for building a house). And it was also much quicker.

Also getting permissions for building a house was fast (59 days, germany sometimes months).

But yes there is one hard thing: As Non-Schengen-Member you have to speak the language. That is a big barrier for many people. Germany doesn't care and even pays for language courses. As a founder in germany myself, that makes things so much easier. Hiring new people from all over the world, was no issue at all (beside that the foreigner office often does not speak english).

There is another thing, maybe some italians here know that: I'm in north italy, is there maybe a big difference to south italy?
> How about not having a theistic culture? How about not stigmatizing kids who don't fit into the blonde white monoculture that Utah pushes everywhere?

The teen mental health crisis is happening everywhere in the US, and in Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. It started about the same time everywhere. Utah's particular culture doesn't have anything to do with it. They're just the state that has reacted first [1].

The suicide rate among 10-14 year olds has doubled since 2010, nationwide. If you can present data that shows the suicide rate increase is caused by any of those things, I'd love to see it.

There's now lots of evidence that smartphones and social media changes childhood in a way that does not meet fundamental psychological needs [2]. Those changes are causing enormous psychological and physcial harm. Regulating technology is the only way to deal with that.

>Conversely, if US based tech companies will have competition, it is likely that their value will go down a bit at one point.

Keep thinking. If US tech firms don't have much competition right now, they are not incentived to innovate or improve their products. If they had more competition, they would need to put up or shut up, rather than reaping profits from money they might otherwise spend on R&D.

Personally, I think that if you put competitive pressure on a large and lazy incumbent, they will either increase in value or fold outright. (Or convince politicians to bail them out, write protectionist legislation, etc.)
How do those things help the vast majority? What you deride as “theism” and “monoculture” have been declining in sync with broad indicators of mental health showing more problems. Your problem is minoritarian thinking, where you’re focused on how those social structures might harm small groups of people, while overlooking the benefits they provide for the broader majority. For example, scientific studies consistently show that religion is correlated with better mental health, greater longevity, and greater happiness: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicolefisher/2019/03/29/science..., https://news.stanford.edu/2020/11/13/deep-faith-beneficial-h..., https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23146600/

Stop demonizing people. Just talk to some government employees. The article talks about how management works at DOE labs.

Sure, it's being sassy is impressive, but it's not useful (unless the utility is novelty or entertainment), which is not what a Search engine's job is.

>This isn’t about 4. We’re in the iPhone 1 era of LLMs.

Well, on the other hand, iPhone 14 isn't that different. Same how a 60s car and a modern Tesla aren't that different. Evolutionary marginally better yes. More convenient, yes. But nothing life changing or necessary. Which is why some folks can even get by reverting to a dumb phone (whereas they wouldn't dream of going pre-electricity or pre-antibiotics).

Also, we were hearing the same about VR in the early 90s, and again in the mid 2010s. Still crickets.

Most commercial aircraft take off and land well below their cruise speed. My understanding is that this limitation applies to supersonic aircraft as well. Applied power is typically restricted due to noise control requirements near airports.

That wing lift/drag relationship may be less fungible than you're supposing in order to address lower-speed flight segments.
> because they don't like stuff distributed outside the kernel.

This mechanism doesn't prevent stuff from being distributed outside of the kernel at all, a GPL-licensed module could stay out of tree for a long time.

They even have a documented mode in the kernel Makefile to compile out-of-tree modules, as described at "make help": "make -C path/to/kernel/src M=$PWD modules modules_install"
I think this is a little less sinister than you are making it out to be. To me, it reads as the intent of those exemptions is because those sites (CNN, Fox, ESPN, etc) exercise editorial discretion around what content is posted and, presumably, should be more active in moderating/enabling/disabling discussion comments. Sites like reddit (since you mention r/exmormon) while are user moderated ultimately escape liability behind section 230.

It's a separate debate for us to argue what is more harmful to children/minors/teens - news/sports/entertainment media vs social media but with our current legal framework these exemptions kinda make sense. If what you are worried about is brainwashing, being solicited, general harm from both users and algorithms, its probably true that that is less likely to happen to a kid in the comments section of an ESPN article than it is on reddit/4chan/tiktok/instagram - and when it does happen at least there is someone to hold somewhat responsible.
I worked at company that did text retrieval and we met with a startup that was founded by defectors from both Bing and Google and who thought both of them sucked 10 years ago and specifically were unable to develop a true personalization service for business reasons.

I don't have any answers to the problem but teen mental health issues have grown quite a lot since social media.

My wife works in PICU and she has never seen so many suicide attempts in all her career (going back to 2006) as she has in past few years. She talks to other doctors who come from other areas and their concerns/experiences are the same.

I feel like every week she is talking to me about some new kid's attempt.

Off-topic: how much time has this friend spent in your home alone?
> How about, hmmm, having more mental health resources?

This rings hollow, in the same sense that every time there is a shooting in the US, we are always treated to comments explaining that "well actually, you see, the REAL problem is that there aren't enough mental health resources", shifting discussion away from how easy it is to get a gun in the US.

Solutions are allowed to be multifaceted; we can both restrict social media and have better mental health resources.
Do fewer and fewer websites support RSS?

According to the people complaining on HN, yes. It's been a common topic of conversation on this web site for the last five years or so.

No RSS here: https://www.rfi.fr

The New York Times does RSS, but among major news organizations, it is one of the exceptions.

All blog frameworks have support by default...

Good for blogs.
Nah, two different BOMs isn't making it more complicated. In the end you hold a board in your hand and have to figure out how to get from it to what you want.

Or think in a different way: A board you have in your hand does not suddenly become more complicated because the company comes up with another board with different BOM. Maybe choosing the board becomes a bit more complicated, maybe choosing any addons for the boards becomes a bit more complicated (as you have to navigate compatibility), but using the board -- I don't think so.
While it's outside my area of expertise, it seems that the "secret sauce" of GPT is not the algorithm, but rather the huge corpus of data to train from, and a massive amount of [CG]PU time (cost and kWh) to process it and run it through the training process.

This probably hasn't happened before because nobody wanted to pay the millions of dollars necessary to do it. Maybe nobody had any confidence that it would produce the type of results that OpenAI is now seeing.
5V is the special feature but it only has 20mA sink/source on two pins. That's not particularly friendly for typical Uno applications.
