Very interesting. Millenials are also the most congenial generation, all social engagement is "nice". Our personalities (not just on twitter) are being homogenized as well. Conformity was a prime virtue of the bourgeoisie, it's odd that it's the only one we carried over (and not say, propriety or noblesse oblige).

It's a great article, but to me, the article does not illustrate a "trend". Rather it illustrates what has been occurring, well, for 150 years. Essentially, the commodification of everything (truly everything, there is no end in sight). This is modernity playing out, on the same track, in the same direction as it has since the 1800s.

This is why, imho, modernity was already fully understood by the 70s. This was the last generation who had still somewhat of a living memory of life outside consumer culture, of living outside the framework where daily experience is mediated by things circulating in a global market. Ellul, Baudrillard, Debord, McLuhan, Mumford, Lasch, ... all were describing "blanding" processes (to use the terminology of the article).

Sorry to continue on and hijacking this, it truly is absolutely fascinating. The effect must be even worse in the new upcoming countries. They have much less has a physical anchor than the west has.

To your point though, note also that current pop-phychology/philosophy is no longer a mash-up of Marx and Freud, which it certainly still was post WW2. I think this would help explain why we're living in "a-historical" times, as both very deeply cared about grounding thought into historical time (generally western history, nonetheless, something we no longer do).
That commonality doesn't seem sufficient (to me, a non-expert) to show that there is no difference in meat nutrition.
Adding a major new tool that is “used in almost all professions” is a pretty big deal even if it’s only used as productivity software, which IMO is still far too short sighted of its potential (a simple chat interface is just the baby steps before we figure out all the API driven usecases).

What was the last time we could look back at old HN threads and say that? Bitcoin?
Sure but it changes nothing, as I said. Assume 99.9% of companies are fraudulent and that’s why they won’t do audits. You can’t say the 0.1% are fraudulent because they can’t get them to break their policy. You can only ask them to do what they can do.

What a bad take. I don't think any Romans were saying the new cathedral looks too much like the old one. Art and architecture then weren't commercialized the way they are now. People spent 600 years working on buildings they would never see complete. There were no global demonic companies rushing ugly, non-offensive (mass appeal), products out the door in literally every industry.

> but if lab-grown meat is proven to be a safe and cost/energy/carbon efficient alternative to raising and killing animals, then it would be insane to not pursue that.

You the city people are so cocky in teaching me the village guy about how to live the life.

What if I do not want my meat addiction to be controlled by some big corps? For example, they may decide to put in their meat products something I do not want to be put. At least I can grow my food as I like it to be grown and I can kill it in the way I find reasonable (for example, I might like some products from blood and I might use a lot of animal fat). And last but not least, different parts of animal body has totally different taste which might be hard to simulate - that's why I'm sure that nothing will force me to stop holding cattle before end of my life.
There are two ways around this: either tax the buy/sale transaction of petrol vehicles, which would severely harm the poor and the ones not living in megacities; or tax the fuel itself, which would make current inflation look like fun and games, as all countries logistics run on fuel.

The proper environmental solution would be going "fuck it, let's do it anyway", yet unfortunately, there is a whole planet outside of Sweden/Norway/Denmark, and they'd be more than happy to burn all of the fuel to pick up the economic opportunities that opened up.

Politics is hard.
Democracy is termed "populist" when it enacts something counter to a deeply unpopular progressive agenda, such as replacing Italian food with bugs and lab-grown abominations.
It's commonly asserted that Monsanto is dodgy as a company. I'm telling you this is a deliberately crafted and propagated deception, used as a weapon against GMOs. It's not something that can be separated.

I think it depends on when folks were using Arch. I've been using it since 2007, and back then before the "conf.d" configuration file convention became common, it was very frequent that you would need to manually merge your local config files with the upstream one. If you screwed up or forgot, your system would be some variety of hosed. It's become much, much less common in the past ~10 years. I'd hazard a guess I only have to manually attend to an update once or twice a year now, where it used to be almost daily.
> This seems no different than the ridiculous laws proposed in some US states recently

Proposing ridiculous laws that won’t go anywhere is an age-old tactic for local politicians to grab headlines and fire up their voter base. There are numerous proposed laws like that every week that will never go anywhere and were never intended to.

Ridiculous, yes, but don’t let it fool you into thinking that there was a chance of it happening in the US.

As for Italy: I have no idea. Their politics are weirder than I can wrap my head around and I’m not familiar enough to know if this is a political bluff or a serious effort.

No, a good legal system cannot be outrun by technology. A good legal system provides sound foundations based on principles. Fraud is fraud, regardless of whether it is committed offline or online. Just like source code, legal code can be more or less well-designed, and it can yield more or less desirable outcomes. And in this case, the outcome the US legal system produced was much worse than "not perfect". The law failed to provide legal certainty and the authorities failed to provide clarity as well. Let's hope the courts will do their job -- a process that unfortunately can take many years.
The point is not the linguistics. It's not about whether the "Guinness Book of World Records" has the correct choice, or even is a reliable authority on such matters.

The point is that it's a beautiful concept and this language found it important enough to have a single word for it that is used enough to be written down and shared.

Nokia was slow to the party and competed between Apple and Android. When opportunity offered itself to adopt a third option, Windows Phone, with market monopoly, they took it.

Problem was that a couple of years later Microsoft announced their Windows Tablet, making them a direct competitor with Nokia. Now the organization was stuck with a very bad deal. They took the option of seeking acquisition by Microsoft as the apparent least worst option.

Zuckerberg is cornered. His company has bought too many upstarts who became ginormous; Instagram, WhatsApp. So regulatory-wise, if he ever tries that again he'll be stopped. The purchase of upstart social graphs was the whole Facebook strategy to stay relevant and display aggressive growth to justify the insane valuation.

Now without that ability, you need to demonstrate you can aggressively grow in newer, exciting markets. What underdeveloped technology markets with social media potential exist outside of this vague idea around VR? Can you name any?

The problem with the metaverse is not that Zuckerberg went in that direction, it's that he executed so poorly and so publicly that he's lost any sort of goodwill from that attempt at a new market. If he wasn't literally un-firable, he'd be have long lost his CEO position.

When Let's Encrypt changed the installation instructions to heavily recommend Snaps, I was quite disappointed.

Would their apt repo suddenly disappear? Probably not, but who knows.
I enjoy the work of Israeli anthropologist Miki Ben-Dor on this subject:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=miki+ben+dor

He's very much in agreement, saying that the human pattern was to hunt large game and then bring it home to eat over weeks, evolving a highly acidic stomach as a result to deal with the bacterial load of rotten meat. That pattern was interrupted by the growing scarcity of megafauna, perhaps caused by human hunters.

"Archaeological evidence does not overlook the fact that stone-age humans also consumed plants," adds Dr. Ben-Dor. "But according to the findings of this study plants only became a major component of the human diet toward the end of the era."

Being out of date will become your edge.
I review PRs primarily for correctness and to look for nonobvious problems. I rarely find buggy code. Sometimes I'll find performance issues. In order to do what I do when reviewing, ChatGPT would need clear specs (yeah right) and a deep understanding of our system, domain, and even our customers.

Of course I'll try it and see how it does. But it struggled and failed to produce what I would consider trivial code when I tried to create a single usable page to spec in react native, so I'm not terribly optimistic.

OpenBSD supports it, with the usual caveats of OpenBSD, e.g. no Bluetooth whatsoever.

Yes, things cherry-picked to look the same look the same.

And things that are expensive to produce and must appeal to a wide-range of customer tastes tend to look fairly neutral.

And some things "look the same" because everyone's converging on a common (evolving) set of best practices, not average ones.

And those cities don't look the same.

I bought the APL book (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471430145) several years ago (though it wasn't >$150 then) because I had a professor in college who loved to talk about APL

I've opened it to skim a few times, and here's what I've realized:

- purpose-built machines (and languages) are always better at their purpose than general-purpose languages/machines

- I don't know nearly enough math for APL to [fully] make sense

- a great deal of elegance and methods of thinking have been lost as languages (virtual (and physical)) disappear

- flexibility is a wonderful thing in languages and hardware

Yeah, I noticed the lack for support for any of the assertions.

It’s not exactly the same thing, but brainstorming questions reminds me of brainstorming problems or failure modes. That makes me think of fishbone diagrams, which are used to try to root cause failures by structuring the main contexts of possible causes.[0] I’ve used this technique to solve for failures in the past. I could see the categories being good prompts for this type of brainstorming.

The following is not a reply to you, but to people who say "haha XYZ doesn't work" and "year of Linux desktop".

If you can't make this compromise, then FOSS OSes were never for you. Most hardware vendors don't contribute missing drivers or features upstream. The majority of the work is done by unpaid volunteers. It's a fallacy to compare things with Apple, who has in payroll software engineers to support a handful of devices with their custom OS. All these "haha XYZ doesn't work" criticisms have volunteers as their target. Why don't you contribute fixes for your device yourself? Nobody forced you to try Linux distros on your hardware.
> It's not hard to maintain, if you compare to building msi installers.

I don’t think building MSI installers is especially difficult; it’s kind of a set-it-and-forget-it thing. Configure Wix or Inno Setup once and then you’re good to go (on every Windows machine, no need to worry about multiple distros).
Don't get me wrong, this is neat. But the only reason why this works is because there is one million tutorial out there who use this data for teaching new students.

No need to pay yourself. Uploaded https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09685.pdf to scisummary:

This text discusses various studies and advancements in the field of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. One study focuses on parameter-efficient transfer learning, and another examines the efficiency of adapter layers in NLP models. Further studies evaluate specific datasets for evaluating NLP models. The article proposes a method called LoRA (low rank adaptation) for adapting pre-trained neural network models to new tasks with fewer trainable parameters. LoRA allows for partial fine-tuning of pre-trained parameters and reduces VRAM usage. The article provides experimental evidence to support the claims that changing the rank of Delta W can affect the performance of models, and that LoRA outperforms other adaptation methods across different datasets. The authors propose LoRA as a more parameter-efficient approach to adapt pre-trained language models to multiple downstream applications.
