>You're kind of missing the point here. Parts of reddit are fine. Kids should be able to participate in forums about children's interests. The problem is a site is comingling children's forums and porn in a way where filtering is unreasonably difficult.

I'm not missing the point at all. Reddit is a product. Your job as parent is to evaluate whether or not a product is appropriate for your child.

You know that Reddit doesn't have parental controls. If you can't trust your child to not go onto the NSFW subreddits, you should block Reddit so they can't access it. Sometimes you have to tell your child 'no' and they don't get the thing they want. The other thing you could do is write Reddit and advocate for parental controls.

It's absurd and entitled to believe that I should have to jump through hoops because you want your child to have access to a website that it sounds like is inappropriate for them. I personally think Robolox is terrible for kids. Should Reddit install a parental consent form to make sure that parents who don't want their kids to consume Robolox content can't access it? Where does it end?

>It's reasonable to demand that a company that's in the business of hosting forums dedicated to children's topics (e.g. /r/teenagers or /r/roblox) and also hosting forums dedicated to porn needs to do it in a way where the two can be effectively separated or understood by filtering software.

It's not reasonable to expect a company to filter content based on your personal understanding of porn. If a product doesn't meet your needs in terms of parental controls, be a parent and say 'no'.

>The solution to Cartoon Network airing programs for children and adults isn't to block the channel entirely; they just need to correctly label their adult programming so filters will work.

Again, you should write Reddit and ask for these parental controls. I'm fine with that. It's when you pass laws making me jump through hoops that a problem exists.

>n reddit's case, they already mark threads and subreddits as nsfw so it'd be trivial for them to put that onto a separate domain. Even 4chan puts their hobby boards on a different domain from porn and /pol/, and they're not even trying to appeal to children, banning anyone that mentions they're under 18/in high school/etc.

And those are the companies choices. I'm not opposed to parental controls, but if parental controls don't exist, don't pass laws to force them to.
Oh, that's cool. I'll give it a try. Thank you!
That's an interesting point and thank you for raising it.

Indeed I would not.

I think it does come down to a moral issue then, which is related both to the core messages communicated and to the audience.

In terms of violent media I can think of 3 ways of categorising it: A) media with a moral message abut the use of violence (self defence, save the innocent) B) purely whimsical (something like Doom) and C) explicitly brutal material.

Of those three only the first two have popular reach. It's easy for children to understand and it provides a structure for parents to use to educate their youngsters.

When I compare that to pornography I feel that the stuff that would fall into category C is what the norm is, what's popular on the major channels. Therfore it takes on a difference socially for me.

We need way way better education on what healthy sex looks like and why respect for women is important. But I honestly believe that we've passed a sort of critical point and do therefore support the introduction of age based restrictions.
years ago I thought the same thing when flying across the country. You look down and the 30 minute commute to work passes in an instant, and then you continue flying for hours and hours and the empty land goes off to the horizon in all directions.

I think it's artificial scarcity.
Of course we do, you're just not aware of the research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_correlates_of_conscious...
I'm not sure how the notification stops the thief. If you're half decent at hiding things they won't be able to find it in less than half an hour, so they either stop and look during which time you can catch them or they abandon the car and you get it back since it's still being tracked.
you forgot the outsourcing stage: first the ai will be outsourced to a rpi zero w running os/2, and then the product will be cancelled.
It's because western culture jumped the shark long ago. Half of every longevity tips is basically "no modern life". Eat fresh, few, move a lot, sleep a lot, talk a lot.
I’m not sure what that is, but throwing my hat in for www.marxists.org
I agree there are things that would have to be worked out, to prevent opening new exploitable holes. How about we just add some ability to the browser to remember the site (fingerprint it somehow, perhaps) so that the security policy only has to be agreed to once. Kinda sorta similar to SSH remembering known hosts. Once I've told Chrome that my Unifi Dream Router is okay, or my Iotawatt, or Home Assistant, etc ... it should stop making me jump through hoops every time until something changes. And I don't ever want it to flat out tell me no, I cannot reach something on my home network with a low quality SSL implementation unless I blindly type "thisisunsafe" into the security window.

It's a pet peeve of mine, as you may have noticed. I have a lot of little random devices on my home network and many of them have no way (or no simple way, at least) of protecting with a real SSL certificate. Sometimes I'll go through the trouble of using nginx as a reverse proxy to hide the insecurity, but that isn't always easy to get working either.
The "how do we make money" section on their website is interesting.

> We have not made any decisions about how we may charge for the product in the future. That said, we believe your personal AI should always be directly aligned to your interests. We therefore think it's crucial that you are the only person who pays for it, so that will likely be our primary default business model. However, it’s still early days for this new technology. We also recognize that some people would rather access a free service and would prefer to see adverts in return.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that startups need to iterate on their business model to be successful. At the same time, this sounds a whole lot like "we promise that our business model doesn't rely on selling your data, unless we decide otherwise."
What's nonsense is equating stories that are obviously mythological with factual, historical record.

Yes, there are obviously some mythological stories about the US founding fathers (George Washington's cherry tree, for example). But there are also reams and reams of historical evidence for their true activities and true natures, and it's absurd to claim that they are somehow "complete fabrications".
Sure, everything you ingest affects you. But I think most people wouldn't expect drinking some clean water to cause them to hallucinate. Ingesting a chemical like LSD that is known to affect the brain in certain ways is different.

Put another way: all things are not equal when you ingest them.
Generating a demand letter and being a lawyer are not the same. Thinking they are is exactly why the parent comment is bad advice.
Prompt injection is not an actual problem. Military drones aren't connected to the public Internet. If secure military networks are penetrated then the results can be catastrophic, but whether drones use LLMs for targeting is entirely irrelevant.
I don't think Python is ever going to get multi-line/fully-featured/less-ugly lambdas.
Correct. rest is as important for recovery as exercise. gentle exercise, ie walking, to your energy capacity is good. Your brain also uses energy. I registered some domain names and obtained a business number during the wee hours yesterday ( not everyone is excited by this, but I can't really control my enthusiastic brain). I definitely need more rest than exercise at this point. I'm using my smartwatch to track my "body battery" which is helpful.
Other search engines would. It already happened that Yahoo paid to be the default search engine in Firefox, for certain regions of the world (Yahoo was for the US, they also had deals with Yandex and Baidu). And Google would probably still want to have its search engine available out of the box to millions of users, even through an other browser.
> How many of them specifically integrate with org-babel?

The one I asked about. It does integrate with babel. I simply didn't know to what extent.
There's neuroscience research on hallucinations, for example https://www.math.utah.edu/~bresslof/publications/01-3.pdf "What Geometric Visual Hallucinations Tell Us about the Visual Cortex". The word "conscious" does not appear.

> The results are sensitive to the
detailed specification of the lateral connectivity and suggest that the
cortical mechanisms that generate geometric visual hallucinations are
closely related to those used to process edges, contours, surfaces, and
textures.

Now this example is only one theory, but it shows that serious people can talk in these terms about hallucination and expect to be understood and not have to argue past reviewer #2, without this whole question vitiating their discussion.

Also, btw, we don't fully know that GPT-4 is not conscious, if you really think it matters. When the question comes up, people who are certain it's not usually point to the fact that it's not running continuously, as if that had any bearing on the question.
It's because tpms are small and have small storage. The outrageous "its a secret cabal" voices are a prime example of what people cook up when faced with something they cant explain due to ignorance but feel the need to have an answer. Its as outrageous as a Republican saying "Q did it."
Blame the script kiddies who like to dox people. This is one of the best ways to defend against that.
PayPal open sources its data contract template
Apple and Google sure lack money and personnel and talent. Poor souls. Let's just dream for a minute that not supporting older devices is not an executive decision because new devices mean selling more devices means stock price goes up.
I disagree. Table_id is more descriptive and easier to use when joining -- no need to alias if you're selecting multiple table keys, can use USING for joins, etc
> I'm just saying that people should stop expecting that the next breakthrough will come from crude tools such as EEGs and fMRI

Scurvy killed over two million people until we figured out the solution was simply eating an orange.

We won't know if EEGs and MRIs are core to future technology until we have that breakthrough.
Yes I agree with what you're saying and thank you for calling it out. It's just that I've had many similar discussions to this in many different environments and it's easy to become jaded.
They said "by the runtime", perhaps they mean that the python interpreter should throw errors at compilation time, since its not a classic compiled language.
Fannie Mae just settled a foreclosure discrimination class action in which they where failing to maintain foreclosed properties in minority neighborhoods. This caused a chain reaction where nearby homes went underwater and were subsequently foreclosed upon.

Mortgage lenders have remarkable legal resources with which to make a homeowner’s life miserable. While they usually have a financial incentive not to, that doesn’t always pan out.
Basically, needing two servers... One for the API, one (mandatorily a js one, nodejs or deno or whatever... ) to serve the pages.

Personally, I don't like much where the frontend is trying to lock people into.(javascript)
Now that SharedArrayBuffer is back (for a while now), we have everything we need to do parallel programming in a browser. I feel like that unlocks enormous opportunities that weren’t previously realized with WASM.
That's true and it really is a major factor in dying technologies: where there is no growth, there is no investment.
There's something to be said for custom homescreens being the solution here, I impulse-bought a candybar phone, used it for a week, then remembered how awful hopscotch typing was. Far more useful is just using a minimal android launcher with phone, sms, a browser, maps and signal, etc. Then I went back to the normal android launcher with just those apps. I think it's more of a mindset thing than anything. I do miss physical qwerty though. (and yes, I am a gen-z-er)
> Again... this level of ignorance and short-sightedness is surprising coming from someone in such a position of authority

He was making a joke, playing into the Android vs iPhone eternal war.

But as someone who spent years on iPhone, then switched fully to Android for 5 devices across 4 years, and now back to iPhone..... I actually think the ignorance is the other way (Android users who have never tried iPhone as their full time phone).
That is the case for companies that overhired during the bull market. IBM, on the other hand, has been losing employee counts steadily for over a decade.

If a company that people are expecting to be losing relevance does a layoff, it’s still not a good sign.
± is useful for ambiguities, such as the the result of the antifunction of a symmetrical function.

But there's no ambiguity here - those signs that you're suggesting popped out of nowhere.
> i've never seen an irrational number written in digits in my whole life. Have you?????

I'm currently reading one. Looking good so far. I'll let you know after I finish.
nahh - poor human generation
Interpreting an mp4 file as executable code is not a feature of a media player, not to mention there's no way to disable it. Bad analogy.

> the human brain is soooo fucking primed to see patterns and make sense from anything

I really wish more people would recognize this. I hear so much irrational thinking because people seem to think that random noise is somehow meaningful. Or because people choose to ignore all the information that doesn't match the "pattern", because they've decided what does match is important to them in some way.
> Just ask anyone who's had a catalytic converter stolen

The difference is when someone's catalytic converter is stolen, we don't spend $5000 of taxpayer money on it. More often than not, we spend $0 of taxpayer money, and the angry owner spends $5000.

I read the parent comment as meaning we're spending 4-5 figures of taxpayer money every time a car is stolen, in which case I'd rather we just buy 2-3 more cars with that money and distribute them for free to people who had stolen cars.
In which camp do you put TSMC ?
Very many languages only have single-expression lambdas, Python isn’t unusual in that, its just that nontrivial single expressions in Python are extremely ugly (to the point where most people think they are much more limited than they are.)

The lambda issue in Python isn’t really about lambdas, but the readability and expressiveness of expressions.
discount_program: Maybe['DiscountProgram'] = Maybe.from_optional(
user,
).bind_optional( # This won't be called if `user is None`
lambda real_user: real_user.get_balance(),
)

Ugh. I don't care that this is shorter – just use a bloody if statement!

Yes, even if you have to nest them sometimes (not nearly as often as this page suggests in my experience).
That's a great list.

I am the kind of person who doesn't care much for "exercise" per se. I get bored with it. The thing that gets me up to see the sun and get some exercise is my dog. Having a dog has many research-proven mental and physical health benefits. For myself, I can say that I benefit so much from having a dog that I just don't see myself ever not having one.

Of course, not everybody can have a dog, so this is not really general advice. But, if it even sounds like it might be a good idea to someone, I'd encourage that person to look into getting a furry friend. :)
It looks like the Fakespot add-on is NOT one of the ~20 approved add-ons in Firefox for Android.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so frustrating.
Also interested in the India position.
The name implies you are in the DC area, is that right? The lack of clarity on this makes it tough for anyone to really give pointed advice. Is this for severance? Did they fail to pay you before they laid you off? Did you talk to anyone at the company? What did they say? How long has it been? Is it possible it's a mistake? Has this happened to others that were laid off? Of course you have legal avenues, but more info is needed to give proper advice.
Peter Attia got me into having a weekly MRI and wearing a dexcom 24/7. Costly, but great stuff.
Why not something like

orders.users_fk?

Then you know exactly what that column is there for. It was intended to be a foreign key for the users table.

I think "orders.user_id" is fine too of course, I'm not going to argue against that. But isn't it just the tiniest bit more ambiguous?

Edit: There's probably also always better names than just the table name with id, too.

For example orders might have more than one fk to the users table, depending on the type of site. Something like ebay might have both buyer_id and seller_id on a single order.
I have been trying to see if ChatGPT can successfully lay out a meticulous course plan and educational milestones. I am pretty happy with what I see. I can easily imagine kids diving really deep into topics that interest them with a tutor that can help them learn complicated, college-level material.
I'm smiling a bit as today I've been trying to un-corrupt a git repo where lfs files were treated as repo files and vice versa. "where's by multi-mb binary, replaced by an ascii pointer file". how can I resolve ssh and https? ugh.
Also, even if fully open source, have to also look at governance.

(A canonical project can be steered in a way that makes it impractical for you, and forking is often also impractical.)

For now, I'd treat it as closed source, which is a non-starter for investing in, when I can accomplish the same in open source ways. And there's no sense in giving away the open source uptake benefits to a company when the software isn't open source.
Hear, Hear. A worthy hill.

Except we know from the time that Windows source code leaked that the reason Microsoft internal products use undocumented features or APIs is that the Office team is a bunch of incompetent hacks that ignore all the documentation and do things the wrong way all the time. There are literal comments in the code cussing out the Office team for doing something so wrong that the kernel team has to hack around it like they do for other popular misbehaving apps.

They are purposely separate teams because if it were any other way, IBM would have sued them into the ground for anti-competitive actions.

At least, this was the case ten years ago.

Yes, it's not pythonic.

Demand letters can have legal repercussions, for example, resetting the clock on how long they have to try to pay up before you can initiate legal action to recover money. (And the precise repercussions are highly dependent on whose law applies!)
Don't pretend to be a lawyer. That is not legal in many places.
Well, you know, your definition of the legislative branch is the non-standard one. It's like you looked at rain, and said "that's mud", and someone said, "that's not mud, it's rain, because mud has dirt in it", and you said, "there's some dirt in rain, too; I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree". No, it's not "agree to disagree"; they're right in their definition, and you're wrong.
