webpack is a very customizable compiler; my take is that once you're deep enough into --config (supposedly only required for non-trivial projects, in pratice, almost every JS project I saw requires extensive webpack mangling to work) you're building your own custom compiler with custom quirks for your project.

And yet fertility rates had another strong step down around that time.

One conjecture could be that fewer young women with children is correlated with higher rates of diagnosis of mental illness. And if I know I had mental illness, I'd be scared shitless to let it known on the record I had a disorder that a CPS worker or family courts could use against me -- without a child those concerns are lessened. I can also attest having a child means you have way less time for your own personal care, which means perhaps these women now have more time for their own care.

It is, as of now, the only argument I've read that sticks. Lots of devs do not like CSS. And this is a way for them, as you said, to skip understanding the language.

The example you're referencing was mentioned in the article, and I think is part of the reason Haidt took the time to prove that this phenomenon is _not_ isolated to the US, and that US specific issues (like school shootings) are unlikely to have an effect elsewhere.

> And it certainly can’t be caused by the most popular theory we hear in the USA: school shootings and other stress-inducing events. Why would school shootings or active shooter drills implemented only in the USA lead to an immediate epidemic across the entire English-speaking world?
As far as "having it all" -- female employment has basically not changed since 1990[0], and given the decline in the US birth rate, expectations of motherhood have probably decreased as well. I could see "having it all" increasing stress as, for example, more women were being introduced into the work force, but that seems entirely uncorrelated to the 2010s.

Insta following could be a new pressure and I agree it would fit the timeline, but that'd be a social media effect and not a decrease in real-life quality of living for white liberal girls.

No, regular games just sit around and wait for the player to do something. Nothing ever happens without the player actively triggering it. This is quite different from a movie, which will play from start to finish without the viewer ever lifting a finger.

I don't think there is anything that matches what OP is looking for perfectly, but games like The Last Express, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask or Invisible Hours get somewhat close. In those the story plays out in real time with all the NPCs playing their roles, the player can observe and interact, but he isn't the central trigger for everything, the story will reach the end even without the player doing anything. Fahrenheit and most of the other stuff Quantic Dream has done also go in that direction, in those games you often switch characters, so you are really playing "the story", not a specific person in that story, however they are much more linear than the other games mentioned and don't leave that much room for exploration.
Lots of throwback tech is in vogue with younger people, wired headphones being the most obvious. Not sure about dumb phones. r/dumbphones does have 17k subs.

I think the desire is there for a less connected life experience, but some of the utility of smartphones is undeniable, as is the collective action problem around disconnecting from social media, which unless everyone in your social circle does it is tantamount to voluntary social isolation for teens.
I suspect this is US specific, and I guess your post might be a valuable heads up about this.

(I'm in the EU, and I haven't seen a phone sold here (in a shop) that wasn't compatible with all available providers - to be honest, this problem has never crossed my mind when I bought a phone.)
It wouldn’t be hard to stop. Chip fabrication is a concentrated industry with a high barrier to entry (indeed there are only a few companies in the world producing high performance silicon using technology made by probably even fewer companies). Restrict AI chip making and the materials needed, and you’ll restrict AI. I can see global treaties between large nations effectively controlling production in the same way that we have nuclear treaties that prevent proliferation or enrichment.
Once upon a time, agi used to mean artificial and generally intelligent (which we have passed). Then it meant on par with human experts at most/all tasks and now it seems to mean better than all human experts combined. at this point, why not stop this farce and replace the G there with Godlike.

People will always move the posts to arbitrary destinations. it's been happening for a long time now and it doesn't look to be stopping. We'll almost certainly build asi before people are willing to call it agi.
"Today, billionaires and middle-class everyday people use the same phones."

Do they? I assume they would have at least additional security features and security monitoring given they're a higher profile target than the average person.
I just got rid of the phone entirely. Humans did fine without them for uh, checks notes, all recorded history. I have a VoIP to use as a MFA bucket (doesn't always work). There are plenty of reasons not to go this route, which I'm sure will be in any replies I get. Yet it works for me.

This is what I do now on booking.com. If you have a smarter strategy let me know. But whatever the strategy is: it can be automated.

I also spent a lot more time on the choice where I live than the hotel in going to stay at for a week. Weird.

And although ChatGPT currently doesn't have up to date information about hotels or the ability to book it (a simple booking.com plugin would enable that though), it is smart enough to either pick a hotel with remote working facilities or consider one with coworking spaces nearby.

"Third" is the 4th word in that sentence. Do one of those other words not count or something?
Yes, I understood that.

'As researchers pointed out when GPT-3 was released, much of its training data was drawn from Internet forums, where the voices of women, people of color, and older folks are underrepresented, leading to implicit biases in its output'.

My impression of many general internet forums is that they tend to be full of older people, women and also various people keen to air their cultural grievances.

I'd be interested to see the evidence the researchers came up with for this, and who they were.

(I'm a big fan of specialized forums and wikis, this is not necessarily a criticism)
CH430 is not an FTDI clone as far as I can tell, so i'm not sure how this is relevant?

If you want existing drivers to "just work" with your clone device[1] then you need to return a vendor and product id it already recognizes. Lying to a computer does not make you a counterfeiter (and copying responses verbatim for interoperability purposes is pretty strongly protected, see e.g. Sega v. Accolade)

[1]: After all the whole point of making an FTDI clone instead of just implementing the standard USB communications device class was to get Windows support before Windows 10 introduced support for serial via CDC out-of-the-box.
Then you could just look at emergency admissions where the patients were brought in after self-harm attempts that left them obviously in need of immediate medical attention. Unless you're going to suggest our standards for judging whether someone might bleed to death (for example) have changed noticeably in recent decades.
Seems to me the idea that teens today are no different to those of prior generations, we're just better at noticing when they've self-harmed (or indeed, committed suicide) and more likely to attribute that to mental health issues is at best wishful thinking, and at worst dangerously dismissive.
Tencent also has a very large stake in Reddit, I wonder if there's any plan to investigate influence operations there.
I think this used to mean can it be run offline and right now (usually) whenever there is an LLM involved the answer is soundly no
> that's what you actually use your computer for

No, you use Debian stable for servers, embedded, and anything production-related that has to be stable.

You use Debian Sid for your playground or hobbies and it will be just as up to date as every rolling distro.
> recursive application of the model itself

That's how chat with LLMs works. The LLM is not stateful, with every response you need to submit the entirety of the past conversation including its own past output.

> a bit messy in that there would be some loss of information

There has to be a loss of information either way. Their API calls for the web interface point very strongly toward enabling summarization once you exceed a given length.

> Anyway, I got some clarification from ChatGPT itself

As the other comment points out, what you got was a complete hallucination.

"Context chunking" is not a thing, there's a context window and if you submit more than it can fit, the API returns an error response. If you almost fill the window, it returns what it can and but raises an error flag.

There's a system prompt, but ChatGPT is using that to kick off the conversation, you can see in the API calls that even your first message is submitted a user message, and storing that system prompt is still external to the LLM
I just think it’s a bit of a weird line to draw because you have to somehow choose how far back to go in the etymological history of the word and insist that every different meaning thereafter is “metaphorical.”

Personally I wouldn’t call usages that are so widely used and understood that they’re in every dictionary “figurative.”
Can confirm that one's workplace accepting packages on one's behalf is a big perk. I don't think they'll accept grocceries through, maybe that's the next frontier.
It might be a good idea to try the dumb phone to gradually reduce smartphone dependency. After your habits have changed, you can re-evaluate your app usage and only reinstall the essential ones.

Dumb phones are cheap enough to pull this off.
For primarily functional parts like that I'd recommend the Prusa Mini. That's exactly the position I was in a few years ago, and to be honest I just jumped in, Fusion360 (for example) is pretty accessible if you have an engineering mindset at least. Clough42 has some great design through to printing videos on YouTube. I think I'd seen some of those, and then had a go at designing something I wanted, (which was easy enough and looked good 'on paper') and then ordered my Mini.

Doesn't this depend on the criteria by which you're measuring "better"? Personally, aside from reduced climate impact, they aren't better on any any count that matters to me, and are worse on a few.

Yup, five years ago I asked "Do we definitely already know it's going to be possible to deploy self-driving cars in an economically meaningful way?" and got the answer "yes", on a story titled "GM says it will put fleets of self-driving cars in cities in 2019"!

> Dumb phone cut you out of the majority of communication protocols, no whatsapp, imessage, facetime, or discord

If you have a Mac, you can access all of these on your mac. If you have any other desktop computer I believe you can still use any except FaceTime and iMessage.

A friend of mine has a dumb phone but is still a part of group chats via his computer.
It makes zero sense to ask for pause on self driving training.

A pause on deploying self driving cars on public roads is another matter, but there is no reason to ban the training.
I actually find the smaller sized Apple Watch fills this exact need nicely. Screen is too small to leverage much beyond phone and text. Can leave the phone at home and still use the same number. Lightweight maps there if you need it in a pinch.
Not entirely scientific, but I am sure you know many parents with kids. Mentally split them into 2 groups - those who let digital and social entertainment run free so they don't have to raise kids because its annoying and hard for them (any fool claiming raising kids today isn't hard didn't actually raise his/her kids) and those who often painstakingly severely limit/block screen time.

My friend, I can tell you from my personal perspective that the difference is staggering and very consistent. Anybody I ever talked about this shared same opinion. So there you have it, some opinions.

I want more specifics too, it would help tremendously to fight against it compared to 'technology=bad', but we still have no fucking clue how our brain works, how our personalities form etc. Without time machine, I don't think we get much further in this century (nor millennium). Just bunch of theories, some wilder than others, with variable amount of proofs out there in the wild. While people often can't have rational debate about basic aspects of life.
Offtopic: It seems that the first image in the post has some strange CSS that causes it to overlap with the left-end of the window. I had to zoom to like 200% to finally get it to appear in a non-truncated manner. I am too lazy to inspect element, but just wanted to share.

Re: wired headphones: I am so sick of wireless controllers on consoles. The switch controllers are a nightmare - constantly disconnecting, nearly impossible to reconnect.

Canonical is an expert marksman footgunner.

They take bizarre risks and insist on reinventing things badly.

Security, infrastructure ecosystem integration, and defaults that don't work with reality.

The advantage of RHEL/Cent and sometimes Fedora server-side is it's boringly-reliable. The kernel especially.
For development, the userland isn't great and the desktop is mediocre.

Qubes is interesting for security, containerization, and running apps isolation where Fedora, Cent, and Debian (possibly Ubuntu and Windows) are all side-by-side choices as app substrates.

Python is not excellent in any domain it's used. But, yes, it's a problem with the language, on which I'll comment later.

First, present day users of Python need to understand how and why Python came under the spotlight. There was always a standoff between programmers who created unimaginative huge programs full of drool and red-taping, and programmers who wanted larger freedom of expression, less strings attached. The later group was usually the more savvy ones.

In a way very similar to how an art student might be spending months studying a model, using a whole bunch of pencils starting from 10B and ending in 10H, various chalks, coal sticks and so on... and would still produce a... "study of a model #80907", which is ugly, anatomically incorrect and just boring. And there's an accomplished artist who can just stick her finger into the chimney, grab some soot, and in a matter of minutes make a great drawing, which will be lively, expressive, you name it.

So... Python, and Perl before it were the soot. The junk languages a more experienced programmer would go to just to show those boring Java programmers "how it's done". But, Python programmers who came in the next wave thought that soot is the good tool to learn how to make good drawings. And, today, we have academies full of students trying very hard to draw models with materials and instruments which are very inappropriate for the task. (Unless you know anything about art education today, the example isn't that big of a stretch of what happened in it around 70s-80s.)

---

I don't care if Python is a glue code for Scala or C or Rust: it doesn't matter. Python, as a language, is inadequate for dealing with concurrency. It needs to remove a bunch of stuff before it can start adding stuff that can be used to that end. It's a language with a lot of mutation semantics which are hard to interpret / implement correctly (what would that even mean?) in distributed context. It's a language with a lot of implicit stuff going on that is somewhat useful (but is not useful enough) if you want to have a quick and dirty "sketch" quality code, but will be devastating in distributed context.

Things like decorators, context managers, imperative loops with break and continue, error handing mechanism, threading -- all of this must go before Python can start to think about becoming a decent language for distributed systems. But, probably more: I would need to research this in much depth to tell for sure if things like method calls would work well for example.

It's a waste of time to try today to fit Python into distributed computation. You will either have to put a humongous effort purging a better half of the language (making all of the famed support libraries useless), or you will end up with a defective hodge-podge mess (which is all those famed support libraries are, including those which aim to do distributed programming in Python).

The age of curation and stewarding is gone. You can find all sorts of new, boundary-pushing art online, but there's no money or respect in curation anymore. Media is being created faster than any curator can keep up and the market is so wide that it's easier for individuals to just ask friends instead of seeking a trusted curator.
