They also claim humanitarian donation on hours their members volunteer within congregations, as well as member-driven humanitarian contributions ("fast offerings".)

Meanwhile, there is a constant drive to get people off the "dole" even if they are elderly or infirmed.

External humanitarian giving up until the first time this was pointed out a few years back was on the order of $40M per year. Not counting the free-will time and internal, grassroot fast offerings given to other members at a congregation level.

It's a bit sickening.
Wyoming cowboy is pretty easy -- not much of a strong accent there. More challenging would be a strong Boston accent, or somewhere from the deep south.

I've heard a similar story about the collapse of Ceaucescu in Romania. The regime didn't just rely on police but on bussing in "counter protestors" (loyalist miners armed with pickaxe handles) to deal with demos. But things turned so quickly once the big speech was booed that everything fell apart - and internal security factions began to turn on one another ..

> The news comes from COO Jeff Clarke, who sees the move as one that begins to more clearly define what hybrid working means for the company.

Hybrid is the worst of both worlds. It's not a solution, it's a new problem.

Generally, when management creates a new problem, consultants pop up to sell them a solution. Do we he have an industry of "hybrid work consultants" yet?
Punishment, aka negative reinforcement, can be required in some cases. For instance, if your dog learns they can jump on the counter to steal food, then there isn't really a way to train that out of them with positive reinforcement. That doesn't mean yelling at a dog per se, but using a loud sound or might mousetrap on the counter can help discourage the behavior. "Timeout" is also a very common dog training strategy.
My takeaway is that Sussman is looking at his field after a lifetime of contribution. He's looking for signposts on where we can go next. He's not valuing one over the other, but looking at the brain and saying, "Here's something that exists that's operating on problems in a way we can't begin to approach using current software/hardware techniques". He sees some hints available to us in the noise reduction things he talks about at the end. In that way, the talk is more him challenging the audience to question our approaches and implied constraints rather than him trying to present us with an answer. It's one of my favorite videos (the way too loud HI at the beginning, notwithstanding).
It's really not a simple live and let live situation especially if some people on a team aren't local at all so they can't drop in one day per week or whatever for meetings. I'm in a very distributed group at a large company so I have no skin in this game. But if you have a largely co-located team with a few remote members, those who are co-located probably really do need to change their work practices to accommodate those who are remote--and those who are remote may have to accept that they'll probably end up not fully participating in their team's activities and decision-making and will have to decide if that works for them.

Isn't it too early to say? These systems haven't had much time to iterate on themselves yet. The beginning of an exponential curve can look very tame.

That said, I'm not terribly concerned about it. After all, the infrastructure is fragile, literally just unplug the computer if it scares you. If things started to get really spooky, banning GPUs and air-striking fabs would be a real option. I think we can probably control this technology, and kill it if we can't. No cause for alarm, at least yet.

The argument is that the experimental device and you are made up of the same quantum stuff that you're measuring, so there's no reason to suppose a collapse of the wavefunction or that the wavefunction doesn't apply to the entire experimental setup. Just saying if MWI is the correct interpretation.

More access and easier access to the negative elements of society that prey on children with bad home lives.

Prior to the internet, they had to find you on the streets and recruit you. Now they just need good SEO.
the portland pattern repository was an invaluable resource for me when I was searching out programming material on the web in the early 2000s. hopefully whatever this is is just a hiccup in their service
All that means is that you have an incredibly limited perspective shaped by your personal experiences. I would urge you to talk to people who are living on the streets or who work one or more minimum wage jobs to raise a family
But at this moment, that continuous access is entirely enabled by smartphones. Giving children access to smartphones but not to social media (e.g. in a classroom) is not feasible.

If you learn a language from someone with a particular speech pattern, you'll adopt it too. That's fine, and normal.

I don't think that's what the article is talking about, though. These kids are adopting an affectation different from the way they learned the language.

Your average American kid doesn't have much, if any, access to British media or people aside from a few popular shows they might pick up online. It's not a courtesy based on context.

The Kiwi accent is quite different. It's certainly closer to your typical southern English accent than a US Midwestern one, but the vowel qualities and rhythm of speech are completely different from both. As somebody from Ireland, I don't have issues picking out somebody from NZ. I could understand getting a New Zealander mixed up with an Aussie if you don't notice with differences in vowel pronunciation between the two countries, but that's about it.

That said, both AU and NZ have their own "TV accents", which in AU is referred to as "Cultivated Australian", which is relatively close to British RP (though not the same), and I expect NZ has their own equivalent, but most people would have something close to what you would generally think of people from that part of the world sounding like.

This same thing happens in an office if it's not small/one big shared workspace. Literally no difference. Also if you have other offices/remote works this can happen even with WFO.

People message me while I'm on zoom, I tell them I'm busy but I'll get to them in the order they reached out. It works just fine. I have a note on my computer I add their name to and once I get off zoom I check if I still need to reach out to anyone.

I barely touched that, it's just from the Serp cloning github, but people kept asking so I put it in. Their clone just isn't really doing much though, it's just loading up the coarse model with the encoded wav file as a fake last generation history to the current segment, and that's basically it. But a lot of the voice is in the semantic model so just doing the coarse doesn't get you much. And even if the semantic model didn't matter as much, the coarse model has both semantic and coarse tokens as inputs and your injected coarse tokens aren't going to line up just right with what a true Bark generated pair of tokens would look like. So what you get is like a robot clone that has the most superficial similarity and lacks the depth of cadence that makes Bark awesome. That's in best case, more often get voices full of static or that don't even read the text you give them. (To be fair, any bark voice can do occasionally not read the text, it's a risk.)

I'm sure somebody will train a model that actually maps an input text to the Bark semantic representation, it shouldn't be that hard, it's just been a few weeks. But the existing clone there is just so primitive I don't know how it got so popular.
> I have my doubts that it's about the phones. It seems more likely that their adult problems are the student loans, the cost of rent, the lack of jobs, the corporate greed, and on, and on.

That wouldn't explain the sharp reductions in mental health among girls around 2012. Something definitely seemed to be going on between 2010 and 2014. Cell phone usage patterns could be a part of it, but I'd like to see error bars on these charts.
A lot of that is just bargaining down to a misdemeanor or prosecutors not wanting to fill up jails and prisons too much. Going with the revolving door in king county, our prosecutors simply don’t want to put people in jail anymore, even for major property crimes, unless violence is involved.
You might not know that Haidt is a well-known p-hacker and has a record of strongly advising ideology under the guise of social psychology. I haven't trusted any claims of his since his modern peace thesis, and that's not his most outlandish one.

What happens if you were to be satisfied? You have sex once and then roll over into bliss, until a bear comes by and eats you. Thus all satisfying things must be fleeting.

What are the consequences of never being able to be satisfied?

You desire greater and greater things to please you. Eventually you must throw people to the lions in order to satisfy the masses. Eventually you find yourself on reddit watching people die. The other way exists as well. If sexual desire you're looking at porn on reddit. If food there's food porn as well. You're always seeking the next best.

I'm re-watching The Wire. He's supposed to be a cop from Baltimore; I suspect his accent wouldn't be recognisable as a Baltimore accent to anyone familiar with it. I think he actually struggles to sound authentic as any kind of US accent.

You might be right, but I dislike using the culture wars as evidence of a lack of shared values, and I hope that’s not true. The culture wars are almost completely made of up straw man arguments and gas-lighting about the opponent’s motivations.

We do have shared values that are universally agreed. Everyone wants their kids to grow up to be capable and successful and happy. Everyone wants clean air and water. Everyone wants to be able to make a living. All three of those things are being misrepresented and argued over in the ‘culture wars’ despite the fact that we all share these values. I even might argue the whole reason we fight over them is precisely because they are shared values so it’s relatively easy to create arguments where both sides can be right about some core principles and both sides demonize the other over minutiae, and it stays that way.
> I think you misunderstand their idea. A child with worse coping can push their parents harder for a phone, and a child with better coping skills can hold out without a phone longer. This is the theory they're suggesting, I believe.

I think you're reading that into their comment when it's not there. They didn't mention nagging at all, and even if the kid nags, the parent still has all the agency.

If there's some correlation-not-causation criticism here, it's probably some along the lines of parents with the fortitude to say no to their kids will raise more mentally-healthy adults, and successful phone restrictions are correlated with that.
I think you are 100% correct that they don't care, that doesn't make it a smart decision. It's a good way to die a slow death.
I was going through the white house proposed budget this weekend and there are more than a few call outs (10-20%) that seem superfluous or like they should be handled by private industries as they seem constrained to benefit those private businesses.

Government money also tends to raise all ships^H^H^H^H^Hprices, so many of the social welfare programs - tuition and home buying loans and assistance, for example - have had the effect of raising prices to the point that most people couldn’t afford them without that assistance. That seems like a good indicator that the program has lost its purpose and should be scrapped for a new idea. Getting rid of those would be immediately deflationary for several sectors (good, imho).

As someone on the hook for $116k in deficit, I’d be much happier to direct my tax dollars to eliminating debt and interest payments and reducing inflation than a great deal of what public money is being spent on.
Not really, since it doesn't feel like they listen to the users or developer community on features that people want to see roll out. It's a lot of icing on a pretty well decorated cake at the moment.

That should be questioned too. We don't know what's causing it. It might be the parents consuming of polarizing / doomsday politics effecting their interaction with the kids. It could be parents forced to work more because of costs. It could be the after effects of Covid. It could be that therapy became normalized and kids were always this way, but it's much more accounted for because they aren't afraid to tell people about it. It could be a lot of things at the same time.

It's awful to teach children that behaviour doesn't matter. Actions do have consequences.
