It's not just the data, it's bidirectional. The concern is that by adjusting the algorithm they can influence the population (e.g. to make math and science perceived as uncool). Not sure how seriously to take that but in principle it seems like a large vulnerability that is challenging to close off without actions like what we're seeing.

Payday loans and cash purchases? We have a variety of "systems", each with pros and cons. And hopefully that kind of diversity will continue into the future. For daily consumer purchases most crypto systems seem to have more cons than pros. For investment purposes I really don't know. And as a store of large chunks of value, maybe crypto will have an important role at some point.

It is this and also that young people are especially malleable, so content that they see can cause long-term psychological and emotional damage, or--more pertinently to governments' interests--can introduce ideological change that they don't control.
What you’re highlighting here is something we explicitly call out in the blog post as what we don’t want people to have to write. We agree the syntax is noisy and would be bad to work with. We instead would prefer it if people could write something like this instead, which would have the same semantics as `?const ?async fn`:

effect fn read_to_string<R>(reader: &mut R) -> io::Result<String>
where
R: effect Read
{
let mut string = String::new();
reader.read_to_string(&mut string).do; // note the .do here
string
}

The exact syntax of the design is something we’re far less committed to than the semantics of it. But we didn’t do a good enough job at communicating that in our last post, so that’s on us.

"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks" -- Jeff Hammerbacher
The person you’re replying to said that the possibility of being shot at school is psychologically taxing. This would apply to all students at all schools, not just ones where a shooting literally happened. It is relevant because of how frequent school shootings are now, compared to say, 30 years ago. Columbine shook the country when it happened, now we’re at a couple Columbine-style incidents per year. You can say “well that’s still a low overall percentage of students who get shot” and be technically correct while ignoring the gravity of the situation and the fact that other first world countries don’t have this problem.

The fact that school shootings have been so normalized that we’re sitting here and discussing the math around whether they’re worse than social media is… so profoundly sad it’s hard to describe.
>Very few are made and sold in yellow because dealers don't spec them that way

Dealers aren't speccing them yellow because they don't sell as well as other colors. If people were lining up for yellow Porsches, dealers would absolutely be ordering more yellow Porsches.

Odd colors may be priced differently at the top of the market for used cars (I don't know), but that's just not true for the typical car used buyer.
Yeah, the issue is that when large amounts of matter gathers into the accretion disk of a black hole it creates more and more friction as it falls in. This friction generates a lot of heat (and therefore pressure) which pushes back on the in-falling matter, slowing down the accretion process. If there's an overwhelming amount of matter the accretion will disk will get so jammed up and energetic the black hole will start firing off high-energy relativistic jets from its poles.

If you start with a stellar black hole of say 10 solar masses and then throw millions of solar masses of material at it, the above processes will slow things down dramatically, and you won't be able to get a supermassive black hole instantly.

I have potentially a bazillion questions:

0. How do kids socialize without devices these days?

1a-b. Do they meet new people like them and/or unlike them?

2. Do they go outside and explore the world nearby?

3a-b. Do they get in the same or different kinds of trouble as past generations of kids?

4a-d. What are the fundamental social values they share that differ from 1-4 generations ago?

5a-c. Do they have as much curiosity, work ethic, or resiliency to setbacks?

Here's my neon fuchsia fanny-pack, old personitis for reference:

When I was a kid, I had to wake up at 5:45 am to get ready to walk 1.3 mi (2 km) to a school bus stop when there was a perfectly good school 0.25 mi away. (Supposedly, I was denied a slot due to race-integration busing but I attribute it to paranoid parents rationalizing their lack of resolve.) The bus ride was 90 minutes each way for 3 hours total, depending on traffic. It was a magnet school where there were many kids from broken homes, abuse, poverty, undocumented parents hanging on, and situations adjacent to drug gangs. The non-IEP classroom material was too slow for me and I was often bored. The turnover of teachers was about 50%/year. Many substitute teachers. There were bullies, girls who behaved in age-inappropriate manners, carved graffiti-encased desks, and mountains of scantrons and dittos (spirit duplicator). No school uniforms, but gang colors and teen pregnancy were omnipresent concerns. Hardcover textbooks were worn to where bindings had saggy wrinkles. No computers and no cell phones.

Term 'petrodollar' (or petrodollar recycling) refers to a phenomenon where oil and gas sellers invest the money they received back to the country that bought it. When US or Europe buy oil and gas, most of that money flows immediate back as that money is reinvested into their economies.

Total is not going to invest the money in to China creating demand for yuan. Total instantly sells the yuan it received, and no additional demand for yuan is created.
not OP. But in my experience there's a big gray area between "Brilliant/Nice" and "Brilliant/Asshole" quadrant where people who are very direct, have less patience for incompetence, or hold their coworkers to high standards go.

IMO these are the best people because they intervene before a company or team veers too far off course.

Incompetent but Nice people I've worked with:

1. Nice, but clearly (in retrospect unfortunately) had some kind of executive function disorder like ADHD. I fired them and, later, helped them get their next job which they excelled at. They bought me a beer when they got promoted.

2. Really Nice, just had terrible long term memory, would constantly forget critical details about what they were working on. They wrote everything down but couldn't process it into long term memory, they would even forget they wrote it down. Could fix small bugs all day but couldn't work on anything that required multiple days of effort as they would forget everything by the next morning.

3. Really Nice, could not work remote. Sort of combo of the first two, bad memory and bad focus.

4. Really Nice, worked with them at a previous company, totally burnt out before coming in at the new place. I literally could not believe it was their code that a co-worker was complaining about and had to check the commit logs. Actually, this has happened twice to me.

In general, the bigger problem is nice but on the threshold between good and competent ... those people stay on forever and can drain a lot of resources as you try to move them fully into the "nice and competent" category.

If US companies don’t advance this technology, companies in other countries will. Or possibly even state actors.

Eventually, somebody will automate most jobs. Society will need to adjust to this. Our high-minded ideals about preserving fulfilling work will evaporate as soon as China makes a major breakthrough.

I think AI technology will become the nuclear arms race of the 21st century. How it turns out could be fantastically bad. But I think it is inevitable.
So our entire society has become disabled, and the answer is to accommodate (read: pay for) everyone's inability to meet standard expectations of a full time role? It seems to me that the emphasis on accommodating people, avoiding negative emotion, stressful situations, and difficult conversation is what's causing people to grow into adulthood incapable of basic functioning.

People need hardship in order to become conditioned to life. Depriving them of it does no one any favours. Ask your grandparents how they lived when they were in their 20s - what they ate, how convenient their lives were, how accommodated they felt by their employers. The answer here is less accommodation, not more. Sink or swim. Most people, when faced with the choice of hard work or real destitution, will choose hard work. This is the cultural shift you're looking for.

We didn't apply this standard to all men when we went from no school shootings to one school shooting in 1840. I don't see a reason why we should apply it to another gender.
We've seen much worse wealth inequalities in history, we've seen much worse job markets, we've seen much worse wars and pandemics, history was a lot more violent.

Really the only thing different there is that "instant access to compare yourself to millions of others". Which is essentially social media.

I'm sure there are other factors and everyone can speculate what they are, but "the world is terrible today" is hard to argue because it was much worse before, yet this didn't happen.

Wikipedia, and the sources where its content comes from, is not intended to help anybody specific. Flying to North Korea and holding a lecture there is firmly beyond the line where the US government starts to care because it demonstrates clear intent. Especially since during the Q&A and other activities other information not available to the public could have been discussed. And even if there was no secret sauce involved, an expert's opinion can still save the North Koreans a lot of time and money when pursuing their goals.
That just requires the ability to have multiple versions of a dll, or to install specific versions with an app, or to statically link. Lots of ways to deal with that, don't distributions support any of those options?

Relative, not an absence.

History and geography.

We can look back at history and say that there are times that are worse than now. For example, the second world war was worse than now. Cuban missile crisis also.

We can look at other countries and see that being in Syria or Ukraine right now is worse than in my more peaceful country.

By looking this way we literally gain new perspectives. Perhaps part of today's crisis is one of perspective maybe the internet narrows our vision.

Visual Basic was an incredible leap forward in programming in that it made programming accessible to much wider range of people. People that just wanted to make a computer perform a task without necessarily writing a commercial product or changing the world. Being a child of the 70's/80's, I was fortunate enough to learn by just diving in and writing Basic on a BBC Model B. I think the problem people have with BASIC is the 'B' for Beginner. It created a lot of snobbery. I remember being amazed when Windows came out because it brought a level of consistency to everyday software which meant that by and large you could get the basics of a piece of software without a manual. Before VB, there was a huge barrier to programming in Windows because for a long time it was C which, for all it's power, is not a language many people should be using. I suspect a lot of people here won't have experienced starting with an empty Window, dropping a Button on it, double clicking the Button and being dropped straight into the event handler code. It was a revelation. Especially when you realised that you got access to all of the other Windows goodies like printing, database access etc just by dropping a control onto a Form. Software development now is a long way away from the ease of access that VB gave us and is probably poorer for it.

What aways amazes me about Brown is how much he accomplished in so little. I play trumpet, in high school was in California All State Jazz and Classical. I'm by no means a prodigy, I merely brought that up to say I know a lot of musicians.

When you ask any trumpet player to name their top 5 go-to artists if they want to sit down and listen, I'd say that 95% plus would have Brown somewhere in that list. This would be true of people ranging from myself to pro studio musicians. Heck I don't know anyone who's dedicated to the instrument that cant hum along perfectly to Jordu or Joy Spring including his solos.

In only 26 years of life, he has become one of the most iconic names in hard bop, a genre containing the likes of Freddie Hubbard and Horace Silver.

To think he did that in 26 years, one can only imagine what he'd have done if he made it to 60+!

>a first-order label for a thing in itself

Let's bring this back to typing because I think it really helps. Typos from Greek refers to a physical mark or impression made by a stamp (not inherently letters, any physical impression). We then used that etymology to come up with 'type' to represent the blocks that deposited ink onto paper . Kind of a stretch, but I would still consider that a first order label in your framework. Great we are aligned.

But wait, I'm typing this comment and there's no physical impressions being made on paper. Am I not literally typing?

>we no longer refer to the concept of boundaries each time we encounter the term. So too with "cradle": we imagine a particular object that isn't a basket, in itself.

Sure, I'm not imagining a printing press, but whether or not I know it, I am making a metaphor to it. So if we stopped using the term 'cradle' to refer to a basket (therefore breaking the metaphor), then cradle becomes literal? Seems like a fragile/not useful distinction to me.

> I don't have Tik Tok installed, my kids only get the "reruns" off YouTube, but frankly I find it a bit extremist that the US government wants to ban an app that looks to me like people doing funny dances in their living rooms.

There is a wide variety of content on TikTok. One category is (tens/hundreds of) thousands of people who watched the Congressional "democracy" theatre on the TikTok ban realizing that their so-called democracy is fake, a laughing stock, pick your pejorative. Millions of people who formerly had no clue, now realize absolutely that what is on the label does not match what is on the tin.

Of course, they could have realized this via other means since it has been the case for ages, but whether they would have is another story.

If I was running an illusory regime, I'd take out TikTok too, it's just old fashioned common sense.
