I do worry the somewhat unconstrained nature of the RISC-V specification is going to lead to trouble down the line. Already some hints of that from this article:

> Take, for instance, the vector extensions. Every vendor that I’ve spoken to, and work with, has their own compiler, their own LLVM implementation in support of their vector extension. And none of them is compatible with the others

It doesn't help that development of an official compliance test suite seems to be moving very slowly (in part because it has to deal with this very issue of many possible options for what constitutes compliant behaviour). Shipping commercial implementations are running ahead of what the compliance suite can test and proprietary and in-house solutions are stepping in to fill the gap (supplied by someone like Imperas or built by the same company that builds the CPU).

We may end up with a bunch of RISC-V implementations with many subtle incompatibilities around architectural edge cases, it certainly won't make system level software work easy.
> and it can be just as social.

I would argue it cannot be as social, even if you're talking to people. You won't ever get half the social cues that come from actual social interaction, nor the firing of mirror neurons that comes when people talk face-to-face, etc.

In fact, Turkle makes a good argument that online communication is destroying empathy among a whole generation of kids, and they don't even know how to really communicate in person with another human being anymore, nor any idea of social manners, etc. Having taught secondary school for five years, I can't agree more with her conclusions.

Trash talking or having coffee with colleagues not doing work still ends up benefiting the company as it helps create good bonds. Google famously offered all the amenities on campus since it wanted employees to interact with each other and spwan new ideas. It worked extremely well for them (first hand experience, btw.

> women that have had to do household work whilst working from home?

I don't think women should be doing household work whilst working from home either. So no idea what you are trying to argue, unless you want coasting jobs which pay you a lot to just be at home and do your housework or childcare. That ain't gonna happen.

I like to talk, and I like to talk online. I think there is an amount of it which is good.

I don't know what that amount is.

What I can say is that each time I have successfully restricted my access to these places, it was followed by period of intense withdrawal, and after that was over, a notable amount of extra energy to do other things, to my very obvious benefit.

I'm skeptical that anyone has a non-addictive relationship with these places, and i was speculating that you are not an obvious non-example, despite your claims at having turned out fine.

I don't, for the record, think that the solution is as simple as denying your children access to social media while you still have control over them, but it also isn't obvious that letting them engage with it freely counts as a good form of innoculation.
I’m confused—you’re claiming the above are radical leftist policies? They seem like (mostly bad) moderate left policies to me.

Here are things I think are radical, and my gauge for that is asking if it could reasonably appear on a BLM demands list. Pushes to defund police, stop enforcing laws (or as Chesa did, enforce weakened versions for fear it would result in “dangerous” deportations) or direct repeat criminals to programs that allow them to avoid jail/records, giving homeless cash and a place to do drugs “safely”. Not to mention the new ask for $5M per black resident for reparations, with some claiming it doesn’t go near far enough.

The idea that these problems are a result of high cost of living and NIMBYism are absurd. When progressive policies fail, the left still find ways to blame it on “the rich”. Marxism 101.

Is this really surprising? Nation-state actors and their proxies on both sides are constantly trying to astroturf Twitter. It's particularly awkward since the Ukrainian side seems to have a more effective disinformation program (eg. NAFO, Snake Island, the Ghost of Kiev, etc). It would be politically dangerous to crack down hard on that type of disinformation though, so all Twitter can do is turn down the volume for the topic in general.

"There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."

Can it be better--yes. Is it worse than _any_ other language's packaging if it were to scale to the number/kind of cases Python supports/used--no.

"thoroughly broken" is useless. Are there bugs--most definitely yes. Do report them, or even help fixing them if you care.

There are many many different use-cases where different approaches are preferable (no size fits all).

Personally, most most of the time packaging is a non-issue e.g., pinning versions and cache are highly recommended for CI to avoid unnecessary surprises, flakiness.
Here's a few more ideas:

- in iOS -> Settings -> Messages, enable "Filter Unknown Senders." Go through recent SMSes/iMessages and create contacts for short codes and numbers that he has communicated with.

This option won't block the messages, but it'll make them harder to find and make their links much harder to click on (AFAIK it's impossible unless he copies and pastes the URL or creates a contact for the sender).

- install uBlock Origin, which makes it much harder to reach the phishing scam sites that back a lot of these campaigns. They're often hosted on sites that are on malware filter lists. In uBO, enable all optional malware filter lists.

On iOS, do the same using AdGuard.

- in addition to the malware detection mentioned by others, consider enabling Google "Enhanced Safe Browsing": https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/11577602?hl=en

- for phone calls, install his carrier's robocall/fraud detection and blocking app. For AT&T, it's "ActiveArmor" (https://www.att.com/security/). If he has a landline, pay for caller ID and consider a phone that speaks the caller's ID (example: AT&T TL96273).

- depending on how his bills are paid: only put a small amount of money (a month or two of expenses) in accounts that are accessible without physically visiting a bank branch. If an account has no online access, no checks (nothing to read the account number off of), and no debit card, at least the maximum possible damage from a scam is limited. Either visit a branch one a month to transfer money or use a credit card for expenses.

It really blows my mind and will frustrate me like no other device. Usually because its last minute and I have to print something out quickly. I could plug in a 10 year old USB camera, monitor, mouse, etc. and have no problems. Plugging in a 1 year old printer is really rolling the dice.
Indirectly this also betrays the kind of job where you had the "luxury" of being in a position to be able to take such forced breaks in the first place.

This is already a good situation to be with regard to burnout.

Seriously. It's so stupid simple. It rules. It juuuuuust prints. No DRM, no nothing. No apps to install. (I think it has apps, but you don't need them. I certainly didn't install any) It costs like $120. I actually bought one model up for $150 that also does duplex printing.

This is the printer that you are wishing for. It certainly is the one I was wishing for. Can't believe it existed. Wasted so much time and frustration on inkjets.

I suspect that, under such conditions, the headaches are normal for someone at my age.

I can go from 0-100mph on a dime, which may have led to the headaches. I'm not passionate about coding, so I dive in without being warmed up.

Contrarily, with passion and a slow pre-heat, the headaches probably wouldn't happen. But I am not a passionate coder.

I may need to strongly consider nurturing non-coding tech skills. I'm doing some (very part time) engineering research for food money. No headaches.

Coding may be out for me, that's all. I can still participate in tech otherwise.
> This stems from the fundamental conservative beliefs that the system is fair and your station in life is a result of your actions or efforts.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a conservative say that life is fair. It’s more common to hear talk about “life isn’t fair” and how people shouldn’t expect every unfair thing to be corrected for them by someone else.

> Putting programmers, data scientists, etc on human problems doesn't solve them better or faster than putting someone outside of STEM on them

True, but per GP there is also an unimaginable amount of money and natural resources sent towards those technical problems. And unlike programmers, money and resources are reallocateable.

If, in an alternate history without the gravitational money-pull of the software industry, even 1% of the resources lent to that industry in our timeline had been put towards addressing one of the problems listed above, it would create a vastly different world. A better one, I suspect, in many ways.

I don't see why. Offshoring perhaps, but if a company can replace you with AI, they don't care where your seat resides.
Perhaps but the OP asserted that no one working a 9-5 is rich.

I don’t think absolute terms like “rich” really help much in these discussions anyway. What is “rich”? I’d argue that people working 9-5 in an office are on average richer than the average retail employee by a fair margin even if they’re poorer than a CEO. It certainly feels a lot more relevant to the discussion at hand.
human.exe, robot.exe, malignant agent.exe are all very much simulations that an llm would have no problem running.

I'm telling you that is extremely easy to do all the things i've said. Some might be interested in doing what you say. Others might not. at any rate, to be effective this requires real time monitoring of thoughts and actions. That's not feasible forever. an LLMs state can change. There's no guarantee the friendly agent you observed today will be friendly tomorrow.

Nor do they happen by going to the office (except for fake forced 1s out of courtesy or to try and fit in).

If it happens it happens office or not.
It happens all the time: some c++ games are compiled for a shared libstdc++... which is not ABI compatible with the one from the steam runtime (this is well know issue:c++ ABI is HORRIBLE). Namely it breaks with the steam runtime shared libstdc++. I repeat: it has been happening ALL THE TIME IN THE LAST DECADE.

I usually ask their devs to use the '-static-libstdc++' gcc/clang option (and at the same time -static-libgcc), and this issue is gone... actually partially, because the static libstdc++ is not libdl-ing its system (module/version)s & (symbol/version)s (well, did not check if c++ gcc/clang devs did fix that) and this is a big problem too: the linker with use the most recent version of modules and symbols (and you cannot overide than unless properly using libdl with dlopen/dlsym/dlclose).

What is the problem with that: well, the game binaries will then refuse to load on system with glibc modules/symbols with "too old" versions... and I was hit hard with this: no more than 1.5 years... yep, this is filthy nasty. And yes, this is not limited to the static libstdc++, it encompasses the glibc modules too. Godot devs mitigate this by explicitely warning devs about this issue and provide some containers with a really old glibc in order to avoid too recent versions.

When you really look at this, I mean with a "final" perspective: the "right" way would be to eat the bullet, and I mean seriously: deprecate ELF DT_NEEDED (and static TLS). It means that if you want to get some services from the system shared objects, you must use dlopen/dlsym/dlclose (and deal with the versions). It would be those symbols will become hard defined in the ELF loader, like __get_tls_addr() for TLS.

We could manage to keep DT_NEEDED, but it means binutils ld MUST allow fine-grained version specification of modules(shared objects) and symbols... which it does not (or it was fixed very recently and I missed it, or I sucked and did miss it from the doc for years).
You’re so right. And this is not a great trend; extrapolate it forward and birth rates go down down down. Men are supposed to be social.
>Ask the people living in Georgia, Ukraine, and occupied Chechnya about how much "restraint" Russia has shown them.

Actually people from Chechnya are fighting for Putin now. And the government of Georgia resist attempts to draw it in war with Russia like crazy, so they also appreciate the peace with Russia.

That argument about UBI may be true ceteris paribus (all else being equal), though even then it may not. The assumption seems to be that all other money flows and incomes remain the same and demand grows while supply remains the same. UBI (there are many proposals/variants) would likely require taxes that will make it basically zero beyond a certain level of income and negative further up (increase in tax on upper brackets). UBI will also incentivize some people to stop working and rely on UBI, so net effects won’t be a uniform increase in buying power. Rents are not uniform geographically and area usually related to how desirable a place is and how much work there is in the areas. With UBI consumers can choose to move away from jobs centers.
Having children and not taking care of them is in very poor taste. We see it all the time where people become parents, yet continue to focus on themselves rather than sacrificing their wants to focus on the needs of their child. It's easier to see how people would be less willing to sacrifice their time to take care of a parent that did not sacrifice time to raise them.

This is just based on my own experience, but I wonder if the preference for working from home is really more a preference to not have to be in a company office. I worked from home for months and then ended up getting my own office space, a beautiful light- and plant-filled private space of my own. Close enough to my home to walk to work (25 mins), but downtown, where’s there’s lots of restaurants and amenities. I love it and I much prefer it to working from home now. I know it’s a huge privilege, but I wonder if companies offered to pay a portion of people’s office rent, if a lot of WFH folks would work out of their own offices.
You Must Believe You Can Repair It
I’m struggling to come up with a useful response here. I’ll focus on things driven by human “decisions” rather than natural phenomena.

Cars are all the same, yet they aren’t - purposes, shapes and colors vary as to the creative and expressive customizations. Music has areas of “sameness” but also throngs of small and bright performances that are far from them.

It’s a bit tongue in cheek, but I do notice people seem prone to take the same photos over and over again. I feel like 1000 years from now they’ll be saying “wtf? why did they do that?”.
Page count ratings aside, the issue I've always had with Inkjet printers is that I print rarely - so nearly every time I go to print, I need to buy new cartridges! It isn't very fun to spend $60 on ink so I can print 3 pages because my last cartridges dried/clogged up in the last 3 months.

My laser printer will sit there quietly out of the way indefinitely. Then I surprise it with a print job and it just does what I asked before getting out of the way again. Repeat in 3 months, same story.

In addition to my other reply, what's your source for the crime rate?

This [1] and this [2] suggests Croydon is about halfway down the borough list per capita, with matched better what I remember from looking at Met numbers in the past. Croydon is the second most populous London borough, so in absolute number of crimes it is usually high up the list, but per capita it's for a long time been pretty much middle of the road, again pulled up by the poorer parts of the borough (particularly, as far as I remember, the Northernmost parts most urban parts, and estates like Addington and Fieldway.
