I just don't see any alternatives to banning social media, perhaps even up to the age of 18. The dopaminergic effects are not dissimilar to drugs and social media is just as addictive.

It's not clear how you could effectively regulate this stuff - especially in our highly polarised political climate. The right will immediately target "wokeness", and the left will immediately target "hate speech". And the kids will be totally forgotten about.

That's why I think, don't bother trying to regulate social media. Just ban it for under 18s when they're most vulnerable.

I don't relish this solution either. When I was 13, I was on forums making online friends. I loved it. But it was clearly different back then, before smartphones, before content-creators, when the internet was mostly nerds.

(I don't use social media, but I do use YouTube. I was amazed how quickly, after watching one fitness video, it immediately started showing videos of the most ripped, steroid-abusing bodybuilders, and how I could achieve their "amazing" physiques. Then videos started popping up about all types of performance-enhancing drugs. SARMs, trenbolone - it was crazy how quickly it devolved to this)
I had some pretty clear failures when I was starting out, but they didn't cost much money beyond web hosting, a domain name, and some wasted time. Sure, you can always worry about some existential risk, such as causing real harm you're liable for. But that's starting to sound like an excuse not to take action.

My main point is that it is actually possible start a business with almost no risk and almost no capital. Not that you'll succeed. And if you don't that's OK.

Failure is an option, and if you're smart, it's an option you can easily recover from.

Honestly, I think I learned half of this attitude from playing competitive video games in the late 90s. You just keep trying stuff. If it doesn't work, you can do another round. (Gah -- I'm in awe of how much free time I used to have.)
It’s my humble opinion that a setup like this is only “not hacked” from a combination of dumb luck and low value. Maybe that’s enough for most people. IDK

No disrespect, if I was still a windows user I would be on win7 too, however I can’t help but think about how naive this was with regard to security while I read it. I personally don’t know how XP could make a person more productive, but I really can’t understand throwing all caution to the wind and doing mental gymnastics to rationalize it.

I admit it’s possible that being on XP has some obscurity benefit, just like if you only used DOS. Having a firewall is de rigueur as noted in TFA, but far from foolproof. No single layer of security is airtight.

Probably the OP has heard of defense in depth, maybe not. Security of any system is porous. It’s like layers of Swiss cheese and so long as all the holes don’t line up, you don’t get owned. Being that windows exploits often affect versions all the way back to 3.11, XP might be more holes than cheese.

along with the fact that you can restrict some apps from using the internet via the cellular menu and never hook to a wifi that lets them connect.

But with this in place, you cannot restrict some apps from using the internet, the type and amount of data will be unrestricted.

Hospital admissions for self harm among girls ages 10-14 have almost tripled since 2010. Suicides among 10-14 year olds have doubled. There really is something different happening to teen mental health, it's not just existing problems becoming more visible [1].

That doesn't really sound like an agent, so maybe "is an agent" isn't binary, in how I'm thinking about it anyway.

If it 0-shots something and executes it and halts, not an agent, if it observes output and loops once, that's a minimal agent. I'm not super skeptical of a couple loops; I just don't know that GPT4 has what it takes to drive a larger number of loops.
Is the problem really "social media" or algorithm-driven content feeds?
The idea is someone would first make a prompt for GPT4 that outputs GPT5 enabled prompts. You would initialize GPT4 with it, and then speak to GPT4 to compile prompts to GPT5 context which then gets fed to GPT5.

Although you may know about LLMs, you might specialize in speaking to specific models and know how to get optimal results based on their nuances.
CS degree is the golden ticket.
This is beyond baffling. Does nobody in the approval chain for this even use a home network? This would immediately break half a dozen things for me. Local game streaming. Network share access. Local wireless backups. Local Plex access. Screen mirroring to my television.
There was no such thing as Windows 2000 Home. That would have been 98 or ME at the time. XP is were they consolidated the two.
I don't necessarily think it's an ethically bad idea, but "banning all children from all social media" is simply impractical for many reasons, including:

- You essentially have to check some sort of ID and ban VPNs, banning online privacy which is BAD

- The smartest kids are way more tech-savvy than the dumbest adults, so you may end up banning adults too, which is BAD

- What will you do to children who get caught? Jail them? Call their parents, teachers, etc. who may not care? Make them take a "social media rehabilitation" classes? Consider that no matter the penalty, many, many kids will try very hard to work around this, and many parents will actively support them.

Something which would actually work is "banning" children like we ban them from seeing Rated R games and movies. Like:

- Banning children from specific social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). This can be done through laws or just activism and lobbying to pressure the sites into banning children themselves

- Encouraging parents to ban children from social media, teaching them how. You cannot call CPS on parents whose children are using social media, unless you think having many, many kids in foster care is a worthy sacrifice

- Creating stronger parental controls (which is also a part of 1 and 2: individual sites can create stronger controls like ID to ban children, and stronger parental controls will help parents)

- Simply discouraging children from using social media, maybe even with incentives
It’s been 30 minutes and they’re still off for me. I’ll check again later.
You can restrict apps from using the internet in the cellular menu. But with wifi, they can communicate unrestricted.
Wait 4-5 minutes and open the menu again.

In my case I disable auto join on all and they’re all back on in 4-5 minutes.

I was also able to verify this as the device will still really connect to the “disabled” hot spots, even after switching it off. Just took a while for the profile to resync.

Edit: only 5 of 9 re-enable auto join after I disable it.
Ah I see, thank you. I think they are a blight as well, but less of a blight than car dominance in city centres. If you can barely fit a pram past a scooter on your footpath, see the bigger picture, your footpath is tool small. You have given all your space to non-mixed road traffic or parking.
Wow. Why is this a thing?! I didn't even know where to look for this if it wasn't for the comments here for T-mobile
Its not weird at all, its by design. Also greed isn't really appropriate, hubris and avarice seem more on-point considering the biblical implications of these things.

Also, AGI is a red herring. It doesn't even need to happen to destroy us. All that needs to happen is for AI to eliminate a significant chunk of the low and mid tier jobs.

Most (the majority) of humanity isn't smart, they are average intelligence with variability, and there's nothing wrong with that until you take their jobs away and they can't feed themselves or their families.

The gifted are limited to a smaller percentage than the whole. So what do people do when they can't work because there are no jobs to get paid to get food? This is all common sense stuff that all the smart-dumb people seem to take for granted.
Mine have remained off for 30 minutes now. I'll try to check again tomorrow but if there's a reset time, it's more than 5 minutes.
I don't know him. He implied he wasn't aware of the things I said. I speculated that perhaps if he paid more attention and took a deeper look he would see the truth of what I said. What part of this is having a beef with other people? What part is making up shit about him?
Banning things rarely works.

Educating parents on how it can harm and hinder their children is a harder, but more effective approach.
ServoCity is worth a look: https://www.servocity.com/
But society stops minors from doing all sorts of harmful behaviors, like drinking, drugs, gambling, guns etc. I think we should consider limiting the algorithms applied to teenagers at least to being much simpler and maybe not allow personal information to be used. I don't think this is some loss of freedom we need to worry about.

This is insane. I have never heard of these and after checking I also have them on my iDevice. Tmobile should explain what wingman is and why it's on IOS devices.
If this bothers you (and it bothers me!), you can write a personal automation Shortcut like: “When my iPhone joins the Wi-Fi network named … turn off wifi”. It won’t stop you joining in the first place, but can at least keep your phone from spending time on the unwelcome network.
@anitil I remember that we were obsessed with it in 2nd/3rd grade of elementary school so thats one datapoint :D
Are all of them off? Sorry to ask, because I have 9 “managed networks” and it seems like now that some turn back on immediately and some stay off.

Of course the ones physically nearby all switch back on…

Appalling.

You'd need an extremely strong reality distortion field to advocate for it. I can only guess it's a way for the telcos to offload 5g traffic.

In the Android world, if Samsung/Telstra introduced something similar in Australia that'd be enough for me to jump ship to another manufacturer that didn't. There's an auto-enabled "Hotspot 2.0" feature that I've turned off; it's not ideal that it's on by default but for people on lesser data plans it could be convenient. It's a simple toggle to turn off, nothing's forced.
Killing local network access is an actual bug.

related - I wonder if this is specific to esim or if this would happen with a regular sim too?

and can you just call your carrier?

I had a comcast business router and it started broadcasting an open comcast wifi access point (for comcast customers). I called and asked them to turn it off and they did.

You said that he was dog whistling, implying you have some knowledge of his intent which is not evidenced in his words, which he himself is unaware of. And now that you've erased my doubt that perhaps you do know him, I can safely conclude that you were making shit up about him.
Always baffling to see suggestions like this on HN:

> Every single ad impression shown to a child is a $1,000 fine.

> If you do that, social media companies will figure out how to keep kids from accessing their site.

Do you really want to live in a world where every website forces you to log in and verify your state-issued ID?

I think some people see the words “social media” and assume it only applies to sites they don’t use, so they don’t care how unreasonable the demands are.

Yet everything from HN to Reddit to YouTube is a social media platform. Do you really want to go through the process of ID verification for every single site you sign up for? Put everything behind a paywall so the website can confirm you’re an adult?

It’s weird to see how quickly HN likes to jump to extreme government regulation of online spaces these days.
Maybe I'm confused here, but wouldn't I still be paying instance costs on top of your per-seat license?

256 cores would be about $2.50 to $5/hr in AWS depending on reservations and how much you're able to oversubscribe. That's another $1,500 to $3,000/mo on top of your $1,170/mo.

If you're paying for the compute then cool, that's a good price. If this is self-hosted though then I can't really see why I would bother unless I had no choice but to self host and cobbling together a simpler if less ideal solution isn't allowed.
> How do you actually not give up and power through?

Break big problem into sequence of small and achievable goals. Getting small gratifications by completing small steps helps to maintain mental balance and avoid burn-out and dead-lock.
I already plug my own birthday into all my kids accounts when I create them. A lot of sites wont even let you create an account for somebody less than 13
You could have said the same thing about teenage smoking. It's addictive, hard to regulate away, but teen smoking regulations had demonstrable and massive health impacts. Cultural change is best, but governments have an obligation to improve public health. Particularly for minors, the vast majority of whom can't make informed decisions about addictive technology.
> - Banning children from specific social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). This can be done through laws or just activism and lobbying to pressure the sites into banning children themselves

This is already the case, few will deal with the hurdles of COPPA, so most services require you to be 13 to sign up, and the platform has a general requirement to ban anyone they see that lied about their age.

(I've known two friends that had a Google account at 11/12 and got banned because they said "im 12" in comments; twitter also had a IIRC 2 year period where, if you changed your DOB and it reveals that you signed up when you were <13, your twitter account was suspended, and they only fixed this by requiring you delete tweets made when you were under 13)
It be not the taste, but the icy chill of carbonized acid. Sparkling water is a good substitute for me.
> Lots of people on HN have a strong reaction against any attempt to regulate the internet, from generations of moral panics about new things.

No. That is absolutely not why and betrays precisely the lack of understanding about these things that causes such a response to begin with. Any time you find yourself dismissing widely held concerns you should take a step back and reevaluate if you haven't missed something. Perhaps your life experiences or priorities are different than these people who you encountered who had a "strong reaction"?

At least for myself, the primary reasons for such concerns are the frequency with which new regulations have historically resulted in dysfunction and abuse, proved entirely ineffective at solving the stated problem, or both.

> There are major freedom of speech issues, and there are lots of other technical and policy complications

Right here you acknowledge something which should be cause for very serious concern.

Also I think I'd object to your framing of "a public health crisis comparable to opioids". Much of that appears to be attributable to the side effects of the "war on drugs". At absolute minimum the vast majority of overdoses are clearly due to unreliable product quality which is simply not an issue for things purchased legally.

So really I'd like to avoid a second "war on drugs" type scenario that seeks to solve a social ill via government intervention, ultimately fails and makes the problem far worse in the process, creates various bureaucratic machinations that are incentivized to ensure future funding for themselves rather than outcomes that are actually beneficial to the general public, and erodes civil liberties in the process.
Thanks for checking, in my case ~5 of the 9 (!) managed networks switch back on within 4-5 minutes. The rest seem to stay off.
That name definitely rang a bell! I kinda miss doing it. I need to find another sport.
> a iPhone 14 Pro Max on 16.4 will 100% connect to that with the same priority as a real/my personal wifi network.

That isn't what Apple says - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202831

At least according to the support doc, the most preferred network should be joined first, other private networks are the next priority, and public networks (including EAP-SIM, the subject of this thread) are the lowest priority.
OSS is trending too commercial
Shifting from RH/CentOS model to pseudo-free, walled-garden, and AGPL.

- Opscode->Progress Chef now requires an Oracle-like login.

- Canonical now requires Pro licensing for security updates.

- Minio Apache 2.0 -> AGPL (radioactive).

- MongoDB AGPL -> SSPL (even more radioactive).

I did the same too, but funnily enough I stumbled upon it by accident when I was trying to find things that pass IR through but not visible light (like coke, sunglasses, ink etc.) using my Sony camera with nightvision mode. I was on a quest to get "x-ray vision".
You explained why this might be happening technically but why are you acting like it's okay? "Just VPN home" is not a solution if the phone is preferring a terrible one bar connection over the home one. Imagine the quality of that vpn connection you're suggesting as a fix.
You might be surprised. Good luck finding reasonably priced books in Australia. Book depository has been excellent.

I had no idea this was coming. I didn't know they were owned by Amazon. This is terrible and it just goes to show that we can't have nice things.

Or any startup that allows user-posted content, which could be an ad.

Hacker News would be gone. Or at least not allow open submissions and comments because they’d all have to be individually checked to confirm they aren’t ads.
(Gonna assume you have a cable MVNO still)

Yes. You signed up for a cable provider mobile service. A huge part of their whole value proposition for their service is "get access to millions of cable WiFi hotspots!" That's their product. They plaster it everywhere in all their ads.

Your situation with Pi-hole and firewalls etc. is a niche use case. Their service is made to appeal to people who are 1) cable company customers and 2) want cheaper service. The majority of people who fall into those categories have an Xfinity router at home that broadcasts the Passpoint SSID. The phones connect to that SSID and have service. Passpoint is going to be more secure than any WPA2/3 network anyway.

If you don't want that to happen, then get a different mobile provider. This one is not for you.
It includes the Nov 1 post, you can see the data here: https://slight.run/apps/colman/job_seekers_vs_job_hiring_hac... (Vega reads 2022-11-01 into your local timezone, hence why you're possibly seeing 2022-10-31).

They claim they update it daily (https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/y-combi...) but they only update it every few months it would appear.

Of course you can manually get this data from the HN API and create a query built on https://slight.run/apps/colman/job_seekers_vs_job_hiring_hac... by adding the extra few rows manually (but unlike OP, I recommend you exclude non-top level comments).
The Utah law is a back-door to Christian/Mormon fundamentalists who want to enforce religious doctrine and parental control over teenagers who are attempting to establish their own identities. This will be disastrous for any teenager in Utah who doesn't meet the local-region-socially-acceptable stereotype of a normal person, such as LGBTQ. All that I can see is even more ex-Mormon teenagers who cut off their parents they day they turn 18 and move to a city somewhere far away from Utah, at the earliest possible financially feasible moment.
Awful workaround: Any of the various ESP8266 deauthers, set to target only your specific MAC address.

Or, if the phone insists on randomizing MACs, just have it listen for packets above a certain RSSI and keep it very near your phone, and deauth the loud one.
A condo-sized Faraday cage would solve that problem...
