The upsides to WFH seem pretty clear to me

- No commute saves workers you an hour or two every day and benefits the company by loosening traffic for those that do WFO

- Hours saved by not having to prep in the morning/commute benefits the company by making workers more well rested, late less often

- If you have kids you no longer need to hire someone to watch them and can spend a bit more time with them

- Don't have to interface with people that can give you diseases, benefiting both your health and your company by keeping you from taking sick leave

Some of these are so obvious that they feel self evident which is why I think people are not mentioning them outright (it would be redundant)
I agree a 16 year old predator is problematic.

The question was about when the younger party instigates. If such contact is inherently harmful then two prepubescent experimenting with each other would presumably cause similar issues. I feel some cognitive dissonance between those two examples which is why I was hoping someone had some actual research on the topic.
It's a fairly modern taboo, historically speaking.

While the unrestricted age of consent is between 16 and 18 in all U.S. states, the laws have widely varied across the country in the past. In 1880, the ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7.[104] The ages of consent were raised across the U.S. during the late 19th century and the early 20th century.[105][106] By 1920, 26 states had an age of consent at 16, 21 states had an age of consent at 18, and one state (Georgia) had an age of consent at 14.[104] Small adjustments to these laws occurred after 1920.

Damn Deleware, 7?!
Both. Lots of people live from welfare or cushy government jobs where nobody does any work. And lots of politicians give money or food to win elections.

The research is ongoing and unclear. The primary reason people are concerned is that the half-life of PFAS in the human body is between 2 and 9 years – so if you're exposed, you're really exposed.

There's been a range of studies that have shown possible links with a number of different diseases which is concerning only because the effects of PFAS had been largely unstudied until the last 15 years. But that this point, there are few clear problems from PFAS.

When I worked at a nonprofit RMS was a lone voice advocating (respectfully) via email that our code be free. I don’t have a dog in this Epstein fight but when I look at the dude’s body of work and see that none of the allegations are basically new shit that has come to light, it makes me doubt the motives of the people “canceling” him.

Did Twitter pricing reduce it's bot spam?
How is it anything like a consumer browser?

This is what I’m talking about. It’s such a limited perspective on what LLMs mean as products/services. Everyone is so focused on the ChatGPT consumer interface they can’t see beyond it to the thousand niche business usecases. It’s as much an enterprise platform (meaning heavy custom usecases), in addition to a broad consumable API system for developers, and then the Google style search/chat Q&A UI.

Just because Poe/Claude is experimenting with an early consumer mobile app doesn’t mean that’s the business they ultimately plan to be in.

The network/monopoly effects of Google/Chrome/IE for pure consumer plays might make sense but we have no idea what the technical underpinning might look like in a decade. It could be just WebKit plus a few others or it could be more like Databases where you hit a baseline plateau for performance but there’s a hundred businesses built off all the variations.
I'm sorry to hear about your layoff, but it's great that you're exploring AI. To improve your chances of getting a job as a PM or TPM in the field, consider networking, specializing in specific AI areas, building a project portfolio, continuously learning, and tailoring your resume to highlight your AI skills. Good luck!
How large are PFAS particles? Because the Bowman's layer found just under the epithelium should stop most particles from reaching the stroma. The Bowman's layer is particularly frustrating for medicinal delivery - it stops most particles from reaching stroma/endothelium. This makes corneal burn recovery quite difficult.

So if PFAS has some mechanism to pass through the Bowman's layer, it could be useful for medicine delivery and healing corneal wounds.
PFAS is to my generation as leaded gasoline is to the prior generation(s), and asbestos to the ones before them, and so forth from when the first chimneys were put up to spew toxic sludge into our air and rivers at the start of the industrial revolution. There is something so sad, so unworkable, and so deeply troubling about how this kind of thing keeps happening.
I agree that E[r() * r() * ...] = 2^-n but that's not the final word. E[log(r() * r() * ...)] = -n and Pr(r() * r() * ... > 2^-n) is very small. That's the intuition part.

The two distributions are identical, I checked numerically and they have the same summary statistics. Furthermore, r() * n is a uniform distribution from 0 to n so by induction we can prove the two are identical.

The flu mutates more readily than COVID. With the sudden spread of COVID around the world we saw a few mutations, but the flu would mutate a lot more given the same spread. Most of us have some flu immunity though and that tends to limit spread, so it seems there are less mutations.
I don’t think anyone is trying to make anyone upset, it’s just research on how prevalent PFAS are. At a minimum, the hundreds of contact lenses I’ve thrown away in my life will almost never break down fully in a landfill, but I’m sure they’re far from the worst things we’ve put in there…
> I also get that he might have changed his mind, but Stallman is also not known to actually change his mind very often.

Yes, he rarely changes his mind-but, all evidence I’ve seen is that if he says he’s changed his mind about something, then he indeed has. I don’t see any good reason to doubt him on that-he’s the kind of person who speaks their mind (maybe even one of those people with a “poor filter”), I’ve seen zero evidence he’s someone who tries to hide their true views

> But in any case my point was mostly that he actually made pretty controversial statements at some point, and it's a bit disingenuous to insinuate that the statement in the article was just baseless smearing and that we won't know which statements are against their values.

Why does it matter what his past statements were if he has made clear he no longer agrees with them?

Saying you don’t want to platform a speaker because of their current views on unrelated topics - I feel uncomfortable about it, but in some cases it may be defensible. But saying you don’t want to platform a speaker because of their past views which they’ve since renounced on an unrelated topic - how is that defensible? “Baseless” seems an entirely apt description for it.

I hope some research is done on PFAs before it’s too late.
I haven't dipped my toe into academic ethics in a number of years, but I very clearly remember it was a big thing among ethics philosophy people of the time to stress that ethics in philosophy was the study of ethical systems (differing from morality in the way the previous post described). Perhaps this was a dominant school of thought at the time, but the profs and literature we studied both where pretty clear about this.
I had low diopter astigmatism and got lazik 6 years ago at 39. I consider it the best decision I've ever made that was just for me. I still have perfect vision, and if it degrades again I will happily get it done again. Just my experience, but I have yet to meet anyone who has regretted it.

Hot damn, I love your enthusiasm.

I don't know whether you'd want to work from scratch, to do things entirely your own way, or whether you'd look to extend an existing project. Either is of course reasonable.

If the latter, I get the impression AXPbox is currently the best maintained Alpha emulator. There have been a LOT of Alpha emulators over the years: http://www.avanthar.com/healyzh/decemulation/Alpha.html
> Correct move. Holding an opinion that is unethical, immoral and destructive to society is unacceptable. And nobody wants to be associated with that. I wish this was not up for debate, but unfortunately, we seem to want to debate the same things repeatedly no matter how many times we know that certain things are problematic.

Who gets to decide what opinions are correct and therefore allowed? Sounds very thought-police to me. There are many viewpoints that are commonly held by practitioners of the "woke" religion that I find to be unethical, immoral, and destructive, but I would never want to silence them. A debate enriches us all. If an idea holds no merit or substance it will fall apart in a fair debate, particularly if it can be supported by evidence. I am deeply suspicious of those who would silence debate and suspect their opinions lack substance.

> For what it's worth for the HN crowd: A lot of us are in various points of our careers. Some starting, some in the middle, some at the end. You can spend decades establishing yourself. But it only takes 1 second to destroy it all. Think before you speak, think before you act.

Is this right though? Should a decades long career be destroyed completely by 1 second of indiscretion? I personally find this viewpoint unethical, immoral, and destructive to society.
If indeed there is a conflict between the budget ceiling law and the 14th amendment the courts are the appropriate place to get that settled. Sure, given the makeup of the current SCOTUS it seems more probable that they're going to side with the GOP, but that's not a given. And if they decide that the 14th amendment negates the budget ceiling law then we'll be done with these silly games of chicken over the debt ceiling.
~30 seconds to deploy a public app that shows the current date: https://cc70f0cd60da3c80.dynaboard.app/

- Created project

- Write a function to return new Date()

- Drop a text

- Wire up the text to the function

- Set the function to run on page load and clicked deploy button

Decided I wanted to add an API endpoint as well, that took about 10 seconds:
https://cc70f0cd60da3c80.dynaboard.app/httpEndpoint1

Added an endpoint and configured it to run a function to return new Date() and clicked deployed

Also figured I wanted all of you to be able deploy your own apps that shows current date, that took about 1 minute:

- Exported the project to clipboard

- Created a new github repo https://github.com/nsaechao/current-date

- Added a dynaboard.yml file and pasted content from clipboard.

- Went back to my app and added a button 'Fork" to redirect to https://dynaboard.new/nsaechao/current-date

- Redeployed the app

Disclaimer: I work for Dynaboard and Dynaboard is a low-code app builder.
> Think before you speak, think before you act.

People always did, especially the smart ones like Stallman. His blog literally consists of his provocative takes on various issues. Thinking results in having an argumentation for one's actions. That argumentation might be wrong, and the person could change their views when presented with evidence. If you never overlook blunders and allow to self-correct, you are discouraging original thinking.
South Korea is taking an interesting approach. They have been building the delivery systems, cruise missiles, IRBMs, and SSBNs, that are useful conventionally but could be adapted for nuclear warheads.
The shot may not be technically as bad as the flu, but for me, it's plenty bad. I'm bedridden for about a week after them.

Since it's been a couple of decades since I've had the flu, the shot isn't worth the cost to me in burned PTO if nothing else.

But perhaps the mRNA one they're testing would be different. I'm also aware that it's probably not the vaccine itself that is causing my symptoms, but other ingredients and different formulations are available that I'm likely to tolerate better. I just haven't actually tried them yet.
we used to live malnourished, with stunted growth, women dying in childbirth to bring 8 kids into the world half of whom would die in childhood, with large numbers of men dying before they couldn't afford reading glasses they would need. (my gf was 1 of 5 surviving from 10 born, with horsedrawn transportation and starvation)

all that industrialization brought us to much healthier longer lives filled with amenities undreamed of 100 years ago, including corrective vision.

now as a society we uncover problems, we fix them. We're doing pretty well.
> Why is everyone so obsessed with "moat"s every time a new GPT-type service or more general AI product pops up on HN?

Because of the second element of HNs domain name. Its a startup-community focussed forum, moat is an important business consideration, but especially so for startups.

HN was deeply divided on RMS when I joined back in 2009. Every thread on him was full of this. :/
Although one might hope that with a fairly clear cut divide between contact wearers and non-wearers, it would be possible to tease some sorts of effect out fairly quickly now that this insight has been reported. Obviously non-wearers could be exposed to other sources but it seems like direct eye contact would be giving you a pretty high dose.
I use it as a task runner with dependencies in python projects. In particular, it checks requirements files against the virtualenv to see if anything needs to be installed/updated, then all the tasks depend on that. If you're up-to-date the task runs immediately, if you're not it'll update for you.

> and docker doesn’t give definable artifacts so you can’t make other things depend on them either

Similar to how old projects have "make configure" to do some initial setup before "make" actually builds the project, I've done stuff on occasion where something like "make check" would pull information out of a system and create timestamped files in a scratch/ directory. Then the normal "make" would compare those files to the codebase to see if the system needed to be updated.

It is different from the first use I just mentioned, since you need two commands and it's not entirely automatic, but it's still simpler than checking each of the dependencies yourself.
It seems your line of reasoning is predicated on the idea that people are rational about these things. I think that can be quite mixed, in reality.

A counterpoint might be: if you earnestly and honestly want to change people's behavior via whatever means necessary, then non-logical correlation/causation associations, appeals to emotion, and other smokescreens as you mention are effective tools and may get you there faster than logical sequences would.

That's just been my experience; YMMV.
> Donald Trump still isn't in prison for doing and saying far, far worse over several decades.

Donald Trump isn't in prison because he hasn't been convicted of any crimes. Well except for in the court of public opinion, but fortunately for us, they hold no power within the American justice system.
"He said he didn’t understand the issue"

No he said he was skeptical that pedophilia harms children. The quote wasn't "say, anyone know does this pedophilia thing actually harms children?" He did more than that: He imputes claims of harm to parents not wanting to admit their kids are "maturing". Now his position his quite hard to distinguish from someone who fully supports pedophilia. If they were in his position, I would expect them to go this well-trodden route: Question the harm; accuse opponents of being puritanical; claim it's already happening anyway.
Beautiful. Simple. fun.
Sure but not all of the business are developers or highly optimized for remote style work. It’s going to vary and keeping the base office can still potentially make sense for larger orgs.

Plus you don’t need catering nor the total office size demands when you have 20% utilization at various times.

You can offer those perks through monthly stripends not via the office. You can also stripend traveling costs to the office for the allotted monthly group time.

Usage can also be coordinated and staggered virtually to manage demand.

It’s going to require adapting to a new reality not pigeonholing the old system into the new one just in case people might use the office all at once.
Guitars, mandolins, just singing together…
can you elaborate on that please? how do you apply this topic to a game?
I was just cleaning my shop and was constantly between fogged glasses behind eye protection and tons of dust accumulating on the lenses. I’ve worn glasses for 30 years and that aspect of wearing them is vastly inferior to corrective procedures or contacts.

I would stick with contacts but, like this topic suggests, there are legitimate health concerns, and I can’t justify how disposable they are with no consideration of environmental impacts. I wish that wasn’t the case.
Yeah I’m just gonna go ahead and suggest that if you’re a parent, you might want to skip reading the comments here.
The difference - one is naively engaging with the topic to try and defend his friend, while the other is saying the predictable politically correct thing that gets attention off him the quickest.

> * bash -> macOS is now ZSH. (Is bash a better choice than Make?)

Makefiles don't run code themselves, the recipe is written to a file and executed using "sh" (at least by default, the shell to use is changeable).
I also think it is interesting to note (for non natives) that they use the interpunct character in their writing, which is used by some french speakers to 'de-gender' french, similar to the usage of the singular 'they' in english. (développeur / développeuse -> développeur·euse·s). This practice is coming from the 'intersectional' movement, which is pretty similar to the woke movement in the US. This practice is quite controversial and is currently banned from official use in France and Switzerland. (The interpunct character is not on the keyboard, so it is quite cumbersome to use)
that's going even farther than sixel toward making easy things hard, but maybe it's a joke that points out why people think sixel is cool

I'm over 50 and I play a lot of games. I do prefer longer, story-based games, but there are all kinds of games out there, including genres that you can play casually on short sessions (like roguelikes [1]).

If you have a PC with a reasonable GPU, I suggest getting a trial of PC Game Pass [2] as a quick and cheap (free?) way to try many different games of different genres. There are long and short games of all kinds and you may find a couple that pique your interest. There are equivalent subscriptions for XBox and PS5 consoles.

Or alternative take a look at a "best games" list [3] and see if there's anything there that you think you might like, perhaps watch a gameplay on Youtube as well.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees here. First of all it's not well understood how infants are so able to learn languages, and the extent to which language ability is innate is fairly controversial in linguistics.

Leaving the details aside, the fact that a human is not starting from scratch is not in dispute. But the whole point of the discussion it seems to me is the question of exactly how humans are not starting from scratch, i.e why do we learn so much faster, and how could we apply the answer to current techniques in machine learning?

Those are still interesting questions whether or not humans and randomly wired neural nets are both starting from scratch.
