Don't discount multiplayer gaming as socialization with friends. My mother hated how much I was on the computer, but I had ample friendships and computer related hobbies and learning, and well my entire life is spent on a computer. That's just how some lives are nowadays.

If they are just queuing with randoms or spending all their time watching a stupid twitch streamer, that's not socialization though. I don't think you can actually form connections with other gamers anymore with the way modern matchmaking works.
Robotics is really really really really hard. So let's turn the entire thing into a system of distributed microservices, using CORBA/DDS for pubsub...

It'd be like if you designed a video game so that the physics engine (motion planning) happened in one process, while rendering (perception) happened in another process and the world state needed to be exchanged via pubsub. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?
Wages paid by grants in general have to match whatever the institutions 'standard' pay scales are. So it's the institutions deciding pay rates. At least in the U.S..
I find highway billboards and store signage to be a particularly awful display, and I'd be overjoyed for them to be banned entirely. I have often thought about cutting down highway billboards, although I'm not quite intense enough for that.
What are you calling "the entirety of Western music theory"?

At base - chords, scales, keys - it all relates back to fifths, the most harmonic interval. That's based on physics, not Western classical music.

This has very little to do with 2FA: PGP signing has been de facto dead for years on PyPI, and this change has no effect on publishing workflows: PyPI will still accept uploads that contain signatures, and just ignores them now.

It's also not accurate to say that PyPI failed to make 2FA useful: it was deployed for over two years before the 2FA mandate for critical projects went into effect. That mandate also came with free hardware keys for everyone affected.
They’re ubiquitous in computer graphics for video games and to some degree in space and aeronautics. They’re better than Euler angles because they don’t go singular as often. There are other more ansvanced and better parametrizations though.

In space rotations are of critical importance and ensure stability or instability depending on the axis of rotation
> if USD were to fail, yet other world currencies stayed afloat,

This "thought experiment" amounts to "suppose I'm right; then I'd be right wouldn't I? Checkmate."

The entire question here hinges on whether there could be scenario where the USD— and only the USD— collapses, without causing so much chaos that cryptocurrencies also become functionally useless. I would argue there is no such plausible scenario.
They ban relative to what trains can provide and since French electricity emits few co2 it's quite and interesting thing to do. I agree on wors of "ban"chosen though. It's more of a market correction, in regards to AirFrance and SNCF (trains) being both government supported.
> Am I in the minority of not thinking of TikTok and YouTube as social media?

I'd say they are "social media", but they aren't the most problematic sort. By default there is little or no interaction with their circle of "real life" friends, so the issues that tend to arise around social media are largely mitigated.

All that's really left is the safety concern, and we mitigate that by requiring that they not expose their real name, their face, or their geographic location at anything more specific than a regional level ("I'm in northern Arkansas").

They're lousy parents who give their kids phones, not lousy parents because they give their kids phones.

I'm almost afraid that if the userbase of effective ad blocking gets big enough, large firms like google will put even more resources into the anti-ad blocking like what is happening with Chrome's new plugin api.

I feel like letting people enjoy the ads if they don't know any better is a little smoke screen for people who do know better.

It's sadly been moving a bit the other way. HP/HPE have significantly downsized and Microsoft's office is pretty tiny. I"m not sure AMD even has an office here anymore, if so, they took down the sign on the building it used to be on.

HP, Broadcom, Intel, and AMD used to all be on the same intersection.
Me too. In addition I physically look away if I'm confronted with ads in real life. For example, when watching Youtube at a friends house or something. I purposely talk loudly over ads in the cinema etc. I am annoyed by ads I can't block such as billboards and the like.

Unless I ask you, I do not want your product. I am happy. I do not want whatever you want me to want. Kindly fuck off. Thanks.
I think 90%+ of people without a CS degree and a boot camp can easily outperform any genius dev just by caring, being focused and professional. I'm not kidding. I've seen it many times.

But this is also a byproduct of many tech companies valuing plumbing over good engineering and accepting or ignoring the cost.

But yes, I've met so many boot campers easily outperform their ivy college senior because the second one didn't care, barely worked and completed his daily tasks in one hour.

But in the end the first one churned more code, learned more about the business and people and was miles ahead in efficiency.

Right about what? We know for certain masks don’t stop the spread, the vaccine doesn’t prevent us from getting or spreading the virus. So you’re 100% wrong there. The only other claim is lab vs nature. US intelligence believes it was a lab, but we don’t know for sure and you certainly know less than them.

They have their hardware repair documentation online as part of their self service repair program, although I don't think they have finished adding all their products to the program.

The iBiquity IBOC system (a.k.a. HD Radio) now owned by DTS, as implemented in the North American FM radio band, features multiplexing of 2 or 3 subchannels per station across the existing band, so expanding the FM radio band has already been made a non-starter or moot point.

PGP is a solution in search of a problem. We have given it decades for it to be useful and it turns out that it is an enormous security failure. It needed to go.

I'm 100% in for this purely for the fact that it looks like it will actually tell you / provide a button to perform the action. I am a Windows fan and use it as my primary operating system, but I cannot tell you how irrationally angry I get when I end up in the new control panel and there are links like "find out how to do X" which just dump you into Bing search. Microsoft already knows the answer, that answer is potentially relevant to the specific version of windows I'm using, but they need to pump up Bing's numbers so they send me there and honestly the results aren't always that helpful.
So helpful to have a persistent Docker cache across builds. We sped up our Docker builds by 40-50% on average which directly contributes to speeding up our iteration speed. Excited to try the new local option - probably will be awesome for local testing of Docker builds!
I disagree with the implication that there is anything at all unethical (so that anything else could be "more ethical") about blocking ads.
It feels to me like smoking. A generation was there at the start of social media, got addicted and now can’t quit. Their kids see them doing it and they do the same. Eventually they’ll realise the negative side of it and they’ll try to stop their kids from getting in to it (but won’t quit themselves).

There are also parents who disagree with this ideology and would find this an invasion of their child's privacy. I'd caution against the thinking "we find this valuable and if people don't do it it's because they aren't willing to put as much work in as we do"

The most plausible dangerous AI scenario is exactly this, or some version of it; the use of AI by humans to brainwash and manipulate huge numbers of other humans.

This isn't autonomous AI takeover. It's humans getting their hands on a brand new kind of rock and bashing each other over the head with it like they have with every previous kind of rock.

It's not that I have zero concerns about AI, just that I'm not on the Yudkowski freakout train. There is no such thing as a technology that can't be used for evil.

On the other hand, at least the early water-base painted cars were prone to premature rusting, which has its own (distributed) ecological impact. My W210 Mercedes was mechanically great the day I sent it to the scrapper for excessive rust through on the rockers and underbody structure. Hundreds of thousands of car met such an earlier than otherwise demise.

Shutterstock sells stock photos. They have an excellent inventory and good prices and I've bought plenty from them in the past for web projects.

But.. their business just went down the plughole with the advent of text-to-image AI. Now you can get pretty much exactly the image you needed without having to spend hours trawling through pre-made photographs.
Commercial backing does mean a language is significantly more likely to be usable in my opinion, but it's not a requirement: off the top of my head there's exceptions Racket, Lua, and Clojure (I'm not sure this counts as I don't really know how much Cognitect invests into maintenance).
It's hard to imagine how that would work. Airline routes are usually based on a use-it-or-lose-it slot. So either the tax will have the desired effect and make the flight uneconomical, in which case it'll be discontinued, or it won't in which case the flight will continue as normal and the government will have an incentive to keep it going, having found some pre-existing use for the extra money that they now can't imagine not having!

I can't read the original source: can anyone confirm if this bans private flights or only scheduled flights? I mean could Elon Musk still fly between rail-linked cities in France if he wanted to?

> But social media also means support groups on reddit and places like HN.

As a father of 3 young children, my view is that social media like reddit, tumblr, discord, facebook, instagram, twitter should be out of bounds for anybody younger than 16. I would really like them avoid until their very late teens, early 20s but I know this will be impossible. The risks far outweigh the benefits, perhaps a social feed monitored by a parent is fine, but never unsupervised, the damage is real and kids can be pulled into niche subjects that may form their personality in their teen years with no sight to the long term damages. Call me square I don't care.

HN and other forums with a somewhat narrow interest/focus are fine by me, in fact I would somewhat encourage them to read and participate in these activities. People here tend to be more genuine about their interest and they tend to keep it narrow--just look at how little traction political discourse gets on this site, it's refreshing, people on this site are intrinsically focused at the task at hand.

I am giving you perspective from someone that had social media limited. Not having a social media presence caused other kids to leave me out of things. I missed a lot of context on drama that happened online, and was always late in learning about things.

I don't have kids but I have been tutoring kids for the last 14 years, since I was basically a kid. I do individual tutoring for mostly high school, and occasionally middle school kids. Some of the have been with me from 7th through 12th grade, and a couple have even asked me to help them prep for finals even after starting college. They end up trusting me with things they wouldn't tell their parents, because I'm still someone they see as an authority figure. Because of cultural reasons, the kids I've tutor think of me and address me as an older brother. I've noticed covid catalyzed the shift to using digital platforms to keep in touch.

I don't have children, but empathize with the feeling of wanting to be protective. It took a lot of effort to make sure some of kids I tutored weren't taken advantage of by people like Andrew Tate. Telling them not to watch didn't help, pointing out the problems with Tate's message and taking time to dissect it did. Doing that also helped them learn how to identify similar manipulation tactics from other creators. It's important to separate the platform from the users.

I think we disagree on the importance of teaching kids how to use these tools. It feels sort similar to countries banning people from accessing AI tools like ChatGPT. The ban won't slow down AI development, those banned countries are simply left behind.
Take care of yourself!

This isn't the scientific theory, but I drive the mountains a lot and AM consistently dies much sooner than FM.

In both cases you can be eavesdropped upon. It really isn't debatable indeed, unverifiable security is not security.
I understand that, but if better wages lead to increase costs, it should be a zero sum game in the grand scheme of things. But, at least, you are not dependent on China for making stuff.
I used to work in an automotive paint shop. Another point of interest:

There's a limit on the number of tries you have to "repair" the paint job, because the vehicle has to go through the oven again to bake the coatings. The trips through the oven affect more than just the paint. Some panels are filled with foam; there's internal sealant and glue, and external sealant. All of those things don't really love being baked too long. For the shop I worked in, we got 2 tries to repair.

The main limit on repairs though? The windshield. Windshields are glued in with specialized urethane 'caulking'. They have to stick to the paint, and the paint has to stick to the body. That is only certified reliable with less than 5 trips through the ovens (in my shop).

---

Paint is the hardest thing to get right in the whole assembly process, because there are so many process variables. Temperature and humidity (dew point) are the biggest besides the actual paint mix, but there's also unexpected problems from every direction. Our solvent paint process (pre-2013) was very vulnerable to siloxane (silicone) lubricants. Someone in IT applied some lubricant to a label printer and ruined hundreds of paint jobs. Livestrong bracelets also ruined at least a hundred paint jobs. Someone did weekend work on the roof? Congratulations on your dust quality spill (spill means a bunch of problems).

All of the parts of the paint have to work together, and that includes things that you don't think are paint. The body is just dumb metal, right? Of course not. The metal panels have oil on them in stamping, and they MUST stay oiled right up to the point where the body takes it's first bath. If too much of the oil has evaporated, then you start getting corrosion, and in many cases you won't be able to tell until the vehicle gets to the customer.

---

Paint shops have the most complicating routing of any part of automotive assembly. The electronic quality and build data has to be synchronized with the physical process, and that data package can be updated by several different systems. Then either IT or OT (operational technology) can make a routing decision, or an individual can use a key switch to manually change routing. "Why did this vehicle go here" is not a straightforward question to answer sometimes.
There isnt really a “tech graduate“ though. Computer Science is as close as you’ll get but there are lots of non technical people in tech.
The web was immensely useful before, during, and after the dot-com bubble. Debate about its utility didn't last long because of how obviously useful the Internet was. Skeptics were proven wrong in a matter of weeks or months.

There's so much to say. But maybe the most important thing to you is that entertainment lawyers are customarily paid 5% of the transaction's value to their client. So you get quality and often creative legal advice, with aligned incentives, whether you're Leonardo DiCaprio or some nobody.

V-Chip was actually great for the small niche of parents that cared enough about their kids, had a large amount of cable TV channels, thought some of them were inappropriate, and were willing to put in effort to read an instruction manual.

The problem was that generation was so fucking lazy they refused to read a paragraph of an instruction manual to stop the "12:00" blinking on their VCRs, and spent all their time blaming everyone else for the problems they were causing, like violent videogames.
> they are not worse than having no traceability of the package at all between the author and PyPI.

Except that they are: PGP does not give you this kind of identity relationship. The most it can give you is an association to a key ID, which is (1) brute-forceable, and (2) not strongly bound to any actual user or machine identity.

The only thing worse than an unsecured scheme is an insecure scheme that lulls users into a false sense of security and authenticity. PGP signatures on PyPI are the latter.
