How do you claim sexual practices are "similar" today as a generation ago? Christianity has been prescribing missionary sex position for a long time now, and even Islam has guidelines on sexual activity (that covers the first two largest religions of the world). (Remember the line in catholic influenced Godfather where someone says that he can't have oral sex with his wife because she also kisses their kids with the same mouth, and hence his need for prostitutes for oral sex?). Pornography is the next biggest influencer. And if you look at that, oral sex were heavily promoted in the past, and now anal sex is heavily promoted. Now, even movies and television have normalised oral sex in the last 2 decades or so.
Replace "altcoin" with "foreign currency" and it would be the same thing. You receive a payment, convert it to your local currency, and use it.
We're talking about an increase from 1/9 to 1/8 who have attempted suicide, not just considered.

I don't know what the baseline has been over the generations, but being in double-digit percentages is astounding.

There is certainly a wide variety of problems today for which pgvector is unsuitable due to performance limitations... but fear not! This is an area that is getting significant focus right now.

A marqo.ai dev is currently working on adding HNSW-IVF and HNSW support https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35551684 and the maintainer has recently noted that they are actively working on an IVFPQ/ScaNN implementation https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/93

The pgAnn creator actually asked about performance a month ago here https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/58

Expect to see performance improve dramatically later this year.
This is a really good statement, but I think you are missing some nuance on one statement:

The "Free Market" does do a far better job of rapidly and semi-accurately allocating resources and labor than central planning.

In theory a central decider works better, and nearly every company I have ever heard of has some form of central planning as their overall governing strategy. But trying to central plan a whole economy; that takes too much information, and is too venerable to corruption. And it also requires the central planner to really understand what is "best", and consistently choosing the "right" central planners seems to require political structures we just don't have. So even in the absence of "true" corruption the decision making processes get "corrupted".

Looking at history it looks like some sort of market economy with legislators making rules to keep the market from doing bad things (e.g.: externalizing things like global warming, or killing people in meat processing plants) is the best solution that humanity has yet invented.

> things that wouldn't fly in million years in my current home in Canada, were perfectly viable solutions in warzone.

You’d be surprised!

I’m near Ottawa and in the past year I’ve been without power for 8 days, 5 days, and a handful of other times.

I’m on well water and our septic system requires a pump. When the power is out we have no water, sewer or heat.

The cell tower nearby only has about 1-2 hours of reserve power. There’s no hardwire communication here so we lose all outside communications after a couple of hours.

During the eight day outage, everywhere within about an hour drive was out of power. Gas stations were closed, grocery stores were closed, etc. That’s if you could even get anywhere—many highways and roads were closed due to fallen trees and power lines. Our own driveway had half a dozen mature trees across it.

It’s no active war zone, and it’s certainly not _two years_, but a lot of stuff you might not think would fly in Canada was exactly what many people were doing to get by.

The real win from quic might come from mapping ssh channels to quic streams (are they called that?). Then you could have many forwarded tcp streams internally (for a socks proxy etc) but wouldn't have to deal with SSH channel windowing slowing things down.
Hotel brands franchise the properties and hotel owners and management vary and change so much the best option, I have found, is to check flyertalk or other forums for recent reviews.
Industrial processes are not the problem. The industries that use a lot of energy also make large long-term investments. That forces them to think in longer term than most other fields. In Europe, we are already seeing industries telling politicians not to back down from climate goals, because unpredictable policy is bad for business. In their time horizon, adapting to climate change is inevitable, and there are business opportunities in it.

Transportation is a bigger problem. Not only people are still buying new cars, ships, and aircraft that use fossil fuels, but businesses continue designing new models. It's likely that transportation's share of total emissions will increase, as electricity, heating, and industrial processes decarbonize.
It feels like a sign that the authorities believe there is at least a medium likelihood of Bad Things Happening.

So... no?

(I say that, but "Datomic binaries" presumably refers to compiled JVM class files; and JVM bytecode is notoriously easy to decompile back to legible source code, with almost all identifiers intact. Would Apache-licensing a binary, imply that you have the right to decompile it, publish an Apache-licensed source-code repo of said decompilation, and then run your own FOSS project off of that?)

This is true in NH statewide, under the “Homeowner’s Exemption.”

I can’t imagine who would suffer more, psychologically, from social media, than young women. I won’t pretend to guess at other causes.

One thing that I’ve noticed in Gen Z is this repeated “I don’t feel like myself” sentiment. If any young person out there is struggling with that thought: you’re not alone. I don’t feel like myself. I wish I was someone else all the time. This is the human condition, and we should celebrate it. Feeling out of place and time doesn’t make you a weirdo - it makes you intelligent. Hang in there!
Sentence embeddings have been great for improving semantic search, but I am still struggling with finding relevant documents for numerical values. Questions like "what people where born in 1992" or "people with at least 4 children". One thing I can do is pre-process the data by transforming the date of birth into boomers/zoomers/millenials and the like but this does not help on the question side if people don't know what to ask
Hm, I went looking for some stats, and it was kind of hard to find actual numbers. Lots of 'rates increased XX%', or 'XX% via firearms'.

But I did find that the suicide rate in 2021 was 14 per 100,000. That's general population. I don't know the rate for teen girls, but I'd accept that it may be several times higher. Say, 50 per 100,000, or about 0.05%. (Although I've also heard that male suicide rate is higher than female.)

That would mean that of those girls that 'seriously considered attempting suicide' in 2021, only around 0.15% of them actually did it.

I'd obviously be concerned if a girl expressed that she thought about killing herself; whatever is causing her torment needs to be corrected. But still, when numbers like 'one third' are tossed around, it needs to be recognized that 99.9% of them don't do it.
Undoubtedly it’s the social media effect.

In my opinion it seems that as the more information technology progresses, the less time people spend actually face-to-face with each other, and they sink into depressive thoughts for a variety of reasons. Especially teenagers whose minds haven’t fully developed.

I’m not advocating the Amish lifestyle, but I’d bet anything that Amish teenagers have much less mental issues than today’s youth.

But I think in terms of mental health at least, the luddites are right.
What was included:

- fragmentary stats about considering suicide and attempted suicide within a choosen few specific groups

What was not included:

- how many attempts actually succeeded

- what were the stats in the whole population and within other groups

Meanwhile:

> A total of 5,568 youth living in the United States died by suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The majority of youth decedents were male (79.2%), non-Hispanic White (59.6%) and died by firearm (51.1%). [1]

Somehow when they kill themselves it's fine, not even worth mentioning, but when women "consider killing themselves" it's a big problem.

Which part? The glass is an Epson BT-40 cut in half with some soldering to bypass needing both eyepieces; this cuts the weight & power consumption by ~40%. Mounted onto a printed carbon-fiber nylon frame similar to bone conduction headphones. The computer is a single-board computer I had lying around, but I will upgrade to 12-core 30W SBC next week.

I think the GP is referring to documents obtained as part of the discovery process. Things like internal company emails, private texts, etc.
The lesson to take away from that is to have a smaller compartment (or multiple) inside the computer that contains all the juicy stuff. Unlock the main one, claim to have forgotten the keys for the juicy compartments, and you're keeping it around in hopes of remembering the key one day.
Not defending chiroquacktors, but you can make any number of really goofy points by dropping an ncbi.nlm.nih.gov link into a thread without further comment. There is no real barrier to getting PubMed to link to your content.

You could use nih.gov links to 'prove' that vaccines cause autism, that cell phones and power lines cause cancer, that video games are responsible for school shootings, and that ESP is a thing.

It's not really a criticism to note the launchpad is completely destroyed. That's an event that happened.
LLMs will definitely get better -- and people will adapt too. But natural language contains inherent ambiguity, and that's not going to change.

A large part of the paper talks about how the challenges of programming and developing ML systems don't go away just because you're using natural language and an LLM.

For example, users incorrectly extrapolating from a single failed/successful prompt to other contexts: that's not something that will be solved by better LLMs, really. It's solved by getting users to recognize when they do/don't have enough data to believe what they're seeing.

If you just want a Sun Ray laptop, the Tadpole M1400 (sometimes mislabeled by sellers as a Compal FT-01, since that's the OEM system it was derived from) is not hard to find with a little patience, but it's "just" a Celeron system so it's not nearly as interesting.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the "magic compression" bit. So literally every namespace lives in a repo somewhere? And even files referenced are just automatically committed to that repository? What am I missing?

You're welcome. That's correct, it's a worthwhile tradeoff.

I guess it depends on the market. In India, all streaming and file hosting sites with pirated tv / movies materials are immediately blocked now. As are nearly all torrent sites. But sharing torrent magnet links are still easier and cheaper than trying to bypass the ISP blocks. And once someone downloads something, it gets shared around a lot.
To each their own indeed. I think mobile responsive design has crippled the desktop experience of software, particularly on the web.

> Call your health insurance and ask about “CPT code 90651”.

There's no point to this. Health insurance providers are explicitly exempted from having to be truthful with you about coverage. The better ones will just tell you they don't answer coverage questions at all as a blanket policy; the rest will tell you whatever they think profits them the most.
That's just a not-friendly HSM. You should be able to reinitialize things, but not extract secrets from them. For example, you can reinitialize Yubikey's "key slots", without remembering the PIN.
Part of the cause is due to the warlords needing to seize power rather than handing it to civilian government established in the latest revolution.
When opening, I expected to see something about harsh conditions of life there etc etc, but those are only pictures of rigs. I don't see anything distopian there, only utilitarian.

One of things that I recently learned is that many of rigs are actually floating structures. Kind of didn't expect that.
This article is outrageously bad.

Fragmentary data without including all the groups, presenting the totals, or even presenting the most important data (actually committed suicides). Ignoring the fact that among the subgroups it's highly likely that reported "suicidal thoughts" will be biased by cultural factors.
Reading your comments made me realize how a service like DDG could never succeed. The only people who care about its advantages are the same users they lose for anything that remotely helps the company grow.

Apple is a regular company and gets points for adding privacy features. DDG? “Nah, F that, they suggested I run code on my device for a brand-new unrelated service. Reprehensible.”
ACX had an interesting post about this: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/declining-sperm-count-...

It gave me the impression that there's not a consensus that sperm counts prior to 30 years ago have been declining steadily, let alone agreement on the overall causes. The Euronews article seems to be a write-up of one meta-analysis rather than an overview of the current state of knowledge.
> Undoubtedly it’s the social media effect.

I have some doubt.

Eight-in-ten teens say that what they see on social media makes them feel more connected to what's going on in their friends' lives, while 71% say it makes them feel like they have a place where they can show their creative side. And 67% say these platforms make them feel as if they have people who can support them through tough times. A smaller share - though still a majority – say the same for feeling more accepted. These positive sentiments are expressed by teens across demographic groups.

When asked about the overall impact of social media on them personally, more teens say its effect has been mostly positive (32%) than say it has been mostly negative (9%). The largest share describes its impact in neutral terms: 59% believe social media has had neither a positive nor a negative effect on them. For teens who view social media's effect on them as mostly positive, many describe maintaining friendships, building connections, or accessing information as main reasons they feel this way, with one teen saying:

"It connects me with the world, provides an outlet to learn things I otherwise wouldn't have access to, and allows me to discover and explore interests." - Teen girl

ref:https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2022/11/16/connection-c...

For a few years we've had studies come out about teen mental health and social media. They'll read something like 33% report harm, 33% report benefit while 33% show neither.
The headlines nearly unanimously read as "33% of youth report varying levels of harm while another third show no benefit at all." The remaining third doesn't even get a squeak in the articles.

I have no love for social media and the odd HN post is about as close as I get. But I also have no love for the snipe hunt that is One Single Cause for long-building, complex, multi-faceted problems.

I love typescript, but, from my PoV, what I miss in typescript is:

- An actually sound type system: This is a big one. Can you figure out why this[0] is unsound?

- I regularly have to do `as ` assertions, and I know it's not because I'm bad at typescript because it's often the recommended solution from cream-of-the-crop tS libraries for certain issues.

If those 1,000 office workers actually provide benefit for humanity, it's a no-brainer that they do more "good" than a YouTuber.

Not every YouTuber does what you describe. A good chunk of them are just talking heads, doing unboxings, reviews, streaming games, and just generally not doing anything that tangibly benefits humanity.

Same goes for office workers. Exceptions in every demographic though, right?
I agree they should have done better, but I think the article's comparison of relatively minor localized damage, versus the completely ignored potential, makes the line of argument of the author quite unreasonable.

Most outages are caused by engineers shipping code. We still ship code. We try to minimize damage and we still fail. Most times the fail was obviously preventable in insight.

Possibly for majorities, but minorities often are helped by social media. Being able to connect with people who are like you, but what you are is uncommon around you, can provide lifelines to feelings of normalcy.

This is especially true for LGBTQ youth in rural areas.

If you go all in on a trend like this and take VC money, you don't really work for yourself, but still have all the downside of your own company. The way to capitalize, for those positioned to take advantage, is to work for somebody else.

When I looked at what it took to get VC money, it seemed less appealing and more constraining than getting a job. Bootstrapping always makes sense, buy you can capitalize on money flowing into a trend in the same way, you actually need something people will buy.

All this is exacerbated by the current hype cycle.

I keep seeing this and reports of decreased sexual drive and I always notice one environmental factor lacking from the studies, population. I go out to more rural areas and can't help but notice that people don't seem to have issues making babies in those areas, big families are quite common and most adults seem to have kids. Perhaps there is a biological factor and these things decrease in response to living in a high population area, increased pollution and high population density do go hand in hand. Anyone know if there have been any studies on this?

That isn't the intersection of 2SAT and XORSAT, it's the union. Problems in the intersection would be solvable by either type of solver.

I haven't found a reference) appears to be a strictly more powerful problem class.
