> It's possible to use a smartphone without social media.

Unless you can block all of them, then I don't think so. And blocking them is a game of whack-a-mole, where every time you block one, they find another one.

And even if you manage to block them from engaging with social media, a lot of similar "damage" can still be done via read-only sites (e.g. Twitter and Reddit).

> It's possible to set up a child's smartphone in such a way that their access to social media is limited if not totally removed.

You can't rely on technology to block social media. In addition to the whack-a-mole problem, most parental control integrations are buggy and hackable. My personal experience with Screen Time has been pretty bad. At best, it's very easy to work around, and at worst, it's completely broken.

I'm wondering if you may not have teens with phones, as you may have come to the same conclusion yourself otherwise.
No, the Steam Deck is a gaming console. It just isn't deliberately locked out and the fact that it's a computer underneath is left there for you to use if you want.

If you want a portable DevOps station, you want a cheap laptop. You don't want to use the default Steam Deck keyboard for much more than entering a login name or something. A Steam Deck with a keyboard plugged into it is much closer to a desktop setup than anything I'd call portable.

But portability is the only question. It's still a full computer. It just isn't a very convenient one for anything other than games.

I personally do use it a lot like a Nintendo Switch, though. You can easily have a desktop-like setup at home behind a dock, and then pop it out and carry it off portably. It's not quite as slick as a Switch but it works. But, again, this is a desktop setup with the Deck standing in as the computer, not a portable setup.
I hope this leads to a renaissance in immune disease treatment.

Immune related diseases are absolutely hellish, if your immune system one day decides to make your life hard/painful through one of the million possible attack vectors, we basically have little treatment besides taking steroids to blunt your whole immune system.

Coming up with therapies that can shape your immune system would be an absolute game changer.
When I was a teenager, my mother, family and friends tried to lure into using a cellphone. They said that it would help them to contact me whenever they wanted and that it would help me to go out with them and have a good time and some fun.

I knew my helicopter mother well enough and knew that the only functions a cell phone would get was to call me to tell me it was time to go home, ask where I was, what I was doing, who I was with... I then, consciously, refused to get one.

That probably saved my younger self from getting addicted to smartphone and social networks. Smartphones are addicting to a young audience because they work like drugs: the more you use it, the more you need it. If you make something less attractive it will probably be less addictive.

I'm not a parent and not planning to become one anytime soon, but maybe a way to get teenagers not wanting a smartphone is to make it not a instrument of dopamine rush but a bringer of sadness that at any moment you may receive a call from your parent telling you it is time to go home or asking inconvenient questions.
I think the accepted authority on anything to do with Northamptonshire has to be Alan Moore.
> but they often have some other sweetener

I actually fell for this trap while looking for no added sugar or sugar alternatives specifically. The products are advertised as "No added sugar", meanwhile Stevia! Infuriating.

Heinz has a no added sugar product that adds stevia, and a no HFCS product that uses sugar. None that just reduces sweetness as far as I know.
I don't understand what this twitter cliché is supposed to mean here. I personally know far fewer junkies than I knew when I was younger because they have died for the above reasons. Are you telling strangers that they don't know addicts?
Can I assume you don't believe depression is real either?

Can you explain why experts believe there's science behind it?
I dont know if you are sarcastic, but the solution to kids cooking meth is not hiding the recipe. Hiding knowledge is a sign of a problematic society, not "God's work"
Hi, I maintain Redux and wrote most of our docs (including our current tutorials).

Can you give some details on which parts of our docs you feel are "incomprehensible"? I'm curious which specific pages you've been looking at, and for what purpose.

We've tried to organize the docs using the "Documentation System" approach described at [0]: Tutorials for teaching step-by-step, Explanations and How-To guides for specific topics, and References for API details.

Generally we want people to go through our "Redux Essentials" tutorial [1] as the primary way to learn how to use Redux correctly. It teaches "modern Redux" patterns with Redux Toolkit as the standard way to write Redux logic (including RTK Query for handling data fetching), and React-Redux hooks in components.

I'm genuinely interested in feedback on what explanations aren't clear and how we can improve things!

No PBS is not left leaning. At least in my opinion. One thing I noticed about PBS is they always bring up both sides of the argument. And when they have people on to give opinions they have two people that a very mild mannered and speak eloquently. I also see them report on stories that you would see on either fox news or cnn but it's all facts, and almost always never opinion. It's kind of refreshing to watch. I think that is the reason is seems dry, because what they present are the facts of the story. There is no emotion added in and there is no hidden suggestion to try to alter your emotions.
How are they suppose to write an app when they have no phone?

And which AppStore? Apple, Google, Sourceforge?
Wow, so I'm downvoted for asking for citation for a FALSE CLAIM, while nobody is capable of providing a citation that in any way supports that false claim.
> AI wouldn't have antagonists with comparable capabilities? Why?

Not individual/human ones. Relying on other AIs to prevent the AI apocalypse seems very optimistic to me-- but may be viable (?)

> Also, no, individuals are not a problem. Not after Nazis, Red Khmer, and Russians.

Those are examples were the "alignment" of participating individuals was successful enough. But all those examples seem very fragile to me, and would be even less stable if your main intermediate goal was literally to "end all of humanity".

> maybe there's something American parents will be able to learn from Finnish-style phone parenting practice eventually.

Keep in mind that Finland's total population is comparable to a small US state. You are generalizing cultural differences spanning several thousand miles and 330 million people. At the risk of doing exactly the same thing the other direction, I'd like to mention that this seems to be a pretty common European mistake.

Obviously YMMV depending on your use-case (not too many things can tolerate a 1.5 day downtime), but yes, in general people don't look at lower-level infrastructure enough.

Even at the lower end of the scale, I'd wager 90% of webapps can run fine on a Linux VPS (DigitalOcean, etc.) and the owner can save quite a bit of money compared to a full-stack deployment on a public cloud, with users never noticing a difference in uptime or performance. On the higher end, at places with $20k/mo or above in cloud spend should at least do a cost/benefit analysis on running their baseline compute on dedicated servers and whatnot, and branching out to the cloud for bursts.
There are studies undergoing probiotics. And some say that most probiotic bacteria don't survive the stomach acids.

If you want a healthy gut bacteria, better to just eat good foods and slowly build it over time.
Not many games support Vulkan though.
Recently visited friends near Park City, UT - whose house has seen a double of real estate value and it looks to be headed towards a Jackson Hole situation where people live in trailers or down in Provo, which has had many avalanches this year on the highway. I’ve also seen the same in towns like you’ve mentioned in Colorado - one example I know being Silverton, which I think has doubled or more than doubled since 2019 (also famously the site of the mining tailings pond release)

Lots of people are quick to blame Californians but it actually seems a small percentage overall, but it’s a convenient bogeyman.
> "Doctor" offices all over NYC and SF

It's very regional and the regions you mention it being easy in make me suspect political.

In say Missisippi or Florida, I've seen many accounts of challenges.
At the risk of sounding smugly, weaning oneself off sugar and trying to cultivate a different palate.

Both cravings for sugar and tolerance for it are somewhat conditioned by your lifestyle. People used to drinking sweetened coffee proclaim black coffee to be intolerably bitter. From my POV (never sweetening any beverages), sweetened coffee is intolerably sweet and does not taste like coffee anymore.
Technically it may not be, but xterm has supported it approximately forever, and xterm is the de-facto standard minimum terminal emulator.
Of course Adobe put out crap but Claude is a real product, not vaporware...
Also Doom Emacs, which is really stable (pins dependencies), fast and has great defaults:

Also, don’t use pinky for controls —— home row mods all the way.
My oldest got a phone this year, the real issue is that we need to communicate with her when she goes to a friend's place, soccer practice, and so on. Primarily for safety reasons.

I imagine for most people their children will reach an age where they are more autonomous and require a phone for safety well before the kiddos are writing iOS applications.
Very cool! I've been working with U.S. lobbying data recently, and it's interesting to compare with what's going on in the Europe.

If anyone is interested, here's my project combining data on proposed legislation, U.S. lobbying by publicly traded companies, and congressional stock trading: https://www.quiverquant.com/sources/behind-the-curtain/
Could be kids coming of age who had parents who were themselves raised on (in particular) British comedy. In my own case it would be the inestimable influence of Monty Python. Younger adult Americans's parents maybe quoted the Parrot Sketch, or offered to give their kid lupins when they were ill, or perhaps demanded a shrubbery if they don't want to do their chores.
Why an app? Doesn't seem terribly related, it's not like writing an app signals any sort of maturity. Maybe having them read Kant might be better, or...maybe just don't give them an out, be firm in the totality of the ban, lean into it without illusions.
> I've personally noticed, since we've been back in office, it's been easier for those ICs to have conversations with other people in the company that they need to work with, as well as have informal brainstorming sessions with each other.

Most communication norms aren't tied to the physical location, it's just easier to communicate communication norms when conversations are visible to the people not involved.

I was on two projects during covid WFH. The digital collaboration styles were night and day. One's mattermost team still has less than 50 messages total across all channels. The other team's mattermost was and remains a major collaboration point now that we're back on site. One team always had cameras on during calls, the other didn't. And wasn't just chat, just calls or just emails. The communication was different on every medium.

There was a lot of the same people on both projects, too. We all adapted to different collaboration styles depending on the project. The only difference was that project management made a few gentile pushes to enable fluid communication at the beginning of one project, and the other team didin't.

And I've noticed something similar with younger people. They're much more interactive in discord chat/calls than the slack/mattermost/zoom/chime equivalents. Not that this is necessarily unique to young people, just that older people tend not to lurk discord as much. What might be unique to that age group is they've been taught corporate tools mean bifurcated groups (e.g. teacher/pupil) where they're not equal participants.
Awesome work! May I ask what are you using for text-to-speech?
Private equity-backed Envision Healthcare files for bankruptcy
Why is this on the front page of CNN? Super misleading.
Is this true?

I see it claimed a lot, but if so I'm surprised there isn't more open discussion in places like HN with people saying "I did the research and boosted my productivity by taking drug X".

Even if it only makes you feel better, there were people talking about micro dosing LSD for a while when that was fashionable.
How Does a TLS Handshake Work?
In my opinion, most of the governments must have obtained access to numerous Certificate Authority private keys by now. As a result, they would not only be logging DNS records but also the entire unencrypted data transfer.

I think lesson to be learned here is that centralized systems such as the internet, due to CAs (including Cloudflare) and ISPs, are unsuitable for private communications.

It is so sad that so many people won't experience late 1980s and early 1990s era of the internet, which was devoid of extensive surveillance and censorship.

Hopefully, humanity will somehow figure out a superior, decentralized communications platform to ensure privacy. However, the current internet offers no such guarantees.

My recommendation at this stage is to assume that government and supranational organizations control the entirety of the internet and act accordingly as if internet had no privacy.
You might be surprised by how much boys are affected by social media
Zuckerberg still owns a controlling stake. The only shareholder he has to keep happy is himself.

This was an attempt to get ahead of a potential disruptive innovation that might cause a strategic inflection point (as per "The Innovator's Dilemma"). Some people thought that AR/VR devices might displace smartphones in the social media space the same way that smartphones displaced microcomputers. So far that isn't happening, but I guess it's still a possibility.
