How exactly is it voluntary between the high CoL cities having the major career opportunities and companies continuing to force people back in office? It's funny that you would even say like that in a thread where people are protesting having to return to the office for that reason.

I lived in Texas for four years. A house in the ass end of nowhere costs $150k-200k. It also comes with a two hour commute to get to my then-office, has literally nothing nearby and I would've been on my own during the next major freeze event.
that's a bs story made up to shit on Lars
>I have lost patience with articles about kids and teens and "social media" that make no attempt to define what social media is. It is no wonder parents won't seriously - particularly when the follow up advice is "don't give your kids phones" as though it's all or nothing.

This article is about social media, and doesn't suggest an all-or-nothing approach of not giving kids phones. Hell, a ctrl+f for "phone" brings up 0 results.

>Could we please get a list of social media kids are using and their relative levels of harm? If it's mostly Instagram then say Instagram and parents can uninstall that app. Is it Facebook? (I didn't think kids were using Facebook) Is it TikTok? (I'm not sure I'd classify TikTok as social media) Twitter? Reddit? Roblox? Shared google docs? Group texts? Hacker news?

If you go to the NYT article and follow the link to the 19-page report in the first article, you can find this[1] in the second citation. This appears to suggest that, at a minimum, social media includes YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitch, WhatsApp, Reddit, and Tumblr. These are, to my mind, obvious choices, but maybe it's not so obvious to others?

Your comment is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention group texts and shared Google docs being considered "social media", and it's often mentioned and acknowledged on this very forum that HN can be considered social media.

>Do I have to point out that phones have more uses than social media?

No, because contrary to you saying that "saying 'no phones' is throwing the baby out with the bathwater", nobody has actually said that here. A ctrl+f for "phone" in this thread currently brings up 12 results, 9 (well, 10 now that I've edited this sentence in) of which are in my comment and yours, and the other three aren't about banning phones outright, in fact two of them are about taking the more nuanced approach you've suggested.

>It shouldn't be hard to have intelligent, thoughtful discussions on kids and the internet. For some reason, no one ever does.

It's not hard if we're not being so reactionary.

Interesting that you wouldn't classify TikTok as social media. How would you characterize it?
> Everything is a pitch trying to sell some sort of viewpoint.

What about cities? What about stores? What about TV? What about magazines? What about the radio? What about school? What about music? What about books?

Whilst I agree with you, where do we draw the line? Personally, having worked in advertising/marketing for over a decade and grown completely disenchanted with it and pivoted to just doing creative shit, I don't think we should advertise to kids, period. It's exploitative and gross.
> In my opinion it’s easier to keep GR

As far as I've read, most physicists have the opposite impression: that QM is much closer to the truth, and that it's almost impossible to add explain the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in GR. As some others have shown in the comments here, there are even models of QM that actually predict various GR phenomena for relatively flat space times (i.e. anything that's not very close to the event horizon of a black hole).

> Fundamentally, GR predicts that even an individual electron curves spacetime, and not just at “interstellar” distances.

That's exactly the problem. Since the electron is not localized in space-time according to all QM observations, it's very hard to define how it can then bend space-time. This is not an interpretation problem (so MWI vs CI has nothing to do with it), it's a problem with the math itself.

The problem with MWI on the other hand is that there is no satisfactory way to arrive at the observed measurement outcome probabilities, especially in these continuous splitting scenarios. These become an extra postulate just like in the CI interpretation.

> The really hard part for any TOE is not QM! The brutally difficult aspect is explaining the three particle generations.

Well, that's hardly a real problem. That there are multiple kinds of particles may very well just be a fundamental aspect of nature, one that doesn't require any explanation, any more than the value of c or pi does. If we had a theory that unifies QM and GR, that could be the final theory of how the universe works (well, assuming it also somehow explained what dark matter and dark energy are, to be fair).
AM radio's band isn't suitable for modern high-speed communications. The most you can extract out of it is ~1200 bps:

Even if you multiplexed all possible amplitudes into one it still wouldn't be worth it for (two-way) digital communications.
imagine snaring talent it sounds bad
I mean, I use mostly Lyft in the US. And if there were another app or two that had a reputation for being cheaper or better service even if they didn't service everywhere, I'd be installing that in a minute. Brand has some value and I don't want to be installing one or more apps for every city I visit. But it mostly works when someone is as good or better for most purposes.
The problem is that the "perjury if I'm actually lying" part is unenforceable. As long as you have a reason to think your licensed work is being distributed elsewhere, proving perjury is very difficult.

Trash companies attacking random internet websites with the permission of copyright giants can do as they please. Nintendo lies and defrauds with these notices all the time but there's no way anyone is going to take them to court over it.

It's not just the entertainment industry either. HackerRank was a notable example of an IT company that willingly abused DMCA takedowns, for example. There were a whole bunch of bogus takedowns, many of which still haven't been reverted, but when one of them made it to the HN frontpage they finally seemed to have fixed their policy. There's no doubt their competitors are abusing DMCA the same way, except that they hire more competent DMCA takedown companies.

In many places, the DMCA has the right idea, but it lacks serious abuse prevention. It also places a lot of unilateral power with copyright holders, more than I'm comfortable with. The whole "reverse engineering is a crime if it's copyright protection software" racket has little to do with protecting individual copyrighted works and only serves to let large media and tech companies keep their monopolies.
I'm mixed on this, I can definitely appreciate the 10x TC boost but it makes hiring unbearable: I need hackers and now the market's flooded with very academically strong, much smarter than me and easily more talented PMCs.

None of the existing methods e.g. leetcode work well, so now we may resort to paid novel take homes e.g. write a simple device driver from scratch for the Intel E1000 in C99 over the weekend. Something you'd likely have been exposed to in CS102 type stuff.
I wonder what the significance of the 15m time limit is.

Do messages go through some caching/indexing mechanism after 15 minutes where they are no longer capable of being edited?
> AM radio is basically dead (as is FM radio)

This is pretty out of touch. Drive-time AM radio is still a HUGE market in certain places. Think Rush Limbaugh et al. Although, that might be what you mean by "overt foreign propaganda by an unfriendly nation", the fact remains that it's 1) hugely popular by the numbers, and 2) directly beneficial to the certain congressional vermin.
So caramelizing onions is the culinary equivalent of saying "begs the question".
IMO, in small/solo development projects, you really don't need particularly descriptive git messages.

I'll frequently commit 40 disparate changes under "stuff" in my personal projects. It's never been a problem. No real need to LARP a big software project with many developers.
Mammoths could have made those same tools though. The trunks had the dexterity.
Disagree. Music theory should not be prescriptive. It's descriptive at best.

But then you seem to go on to explain that it's actually not prescriptive. If it sounds good, it is good. Theory is sometimes useful to make it sound good.
Nice! They got better at Gain Of Function!

I hope my spine melts this time.
> Because PyPI ... could always substitute a new key.

Isn't that what public key servers are for?

For publishing my FOSS to sonatype, I had to first publish my public key, eg keyserver.ubuntu.com.

I don't know PyPI, but from this OC, it sounds like PyPI does not have the same prerequisite.
Yep: https://motd.ubuntu.com/
Yea, if you're highly compute limited, you don't want your AI to go about randomly thinking things and following paths in the manner the human mind does. Now, if you suddenly had 1000-100000 more compute, well then you have a lot of freedom to explore.
I'd argue this is because those cultural issues aren't academic. The topics themselves may be studied to smaller or larger degree, and as you note, there's a wealth of relevant, universally applicable knowledge - but this doesn't matter for cultural issues, as the "issues" part here means this is a fight. The people driving the conversation are trying to win something - like political power for their group, or self-esteem for themselves. Being considerate and reasonable in fighting such fight is, unfortunately, a hindrance.
Driving a car is OK when the cost to drive the car matches the price of driving the car.

Right now, the costs (in vehicle deaths, emissions, direct CO2 emissions, sprawl, noise pollution, CO2 from asphalt and concrete, animal deaths, habitat destruction...) are not reflected in the car's price. Instead, they are paid by all of us, our children, our grandchildren, and the living environment.

If you actually had to pay the true price of remediating these externalities, a toll on every road would cost $10, a toll on the interstate highway would cost $100, a tank of gas would cost $1000, and the car itself would cost $100,000. Would you still drive?
My wife (former investment banker who pivoted to risk management) was half-joking when she said that high-finance is always the apex predator, even if at times it doesn't look like it. It sits at the center of all major institutions.
As a matter of fact, if someone owns the system, competing on equal terms (or at all) is impossible. Re: the Linux, it's tempting for a couple of reasons,
but potential user base seems to be a problem (at the moment).
Thats what im saying
I believe the issue is more that the increasing amount of EM noise in the AM band from electric auto components (particularly EV power inverters) means they would have to invest more engineering in to filtering that noise out.
Unrelated but I wish electric automakers used the electromagnetic interference of their motors as an engine noise, since after watching some videos of Teslas picked up on the AM frequency it's quite a nice sound

>The real issue is simply a vague use of the word "caramelize,"

The linked article gives a few examples where there was no vagueness: The recipes described the visual state that the onion should be in when caramelized, and it corresponded to the ~45 minute process, not the ~10 minutes the recipe claimed it would take.

I've had this issue myself with a meal kit service that said caramelized and showed a picture of the ~45 minute result but the overall prep & cook time for the entire meal, as stated in the recipe, was only 30 minutes. (In general meal prep kits seem to drastically understate the amount of prep time. At best, it might correspond to the amount of time it would take a skilled chef to chop and slice and peel everything, not the average consumer who subscribed on the basis of easy 15-30-45 minute meals)
Not sure about 'with increasing automation we need more PhD students', sizeable chunk of PhD papers are in categories 'I ran ping from the multiple cloud providers' and 'I've injected some BGP routes via multiple internet exchanges'.
I did, and you just wrote a pretty big lie.
Sort of. Less cynically, the economy is not a zero sum game so some of those returns can be organic shares of positive-sum activities that make life better for everyone. Cynically, they sure don't have to be, because peasant juice tastes just as sweet. There is an awful lot of runaway rent seeking hiding in the clothes of "investment." Either way, assets represent an entitlement to the proceeds.

My point here isn't so much to pass moral judgement on capitalism as it is to assert that money and assets have fundamentally different character. They are easy to confuse due to the liquid market for exchanging the two, but the lines of reasoning that lead us to a concept of "enough money" do not lead us to a concept of "enough assets." We might independently arrive at a concept of "enough assets" by hypothesizing a situation where one person controls a 10% of world GDP or something but world GDP is 100T and the richest people own about 100B in assets so at a 10x multiple they are probably at least three orders of magnitude removed from a self-serving definition of "enough assets" (and that would be the relevant definition, since they would be the ones defining "enough.")

tl;dr Rich people DO stop maximizing money -- but then they start maximizing power, which can be bought with money, and which we measure in units of money.
The carbon credit scam made Al Gore rich.
I still use mine.

There are a lot of safety/whether/info stations run by the government. I don't carry a smartphone so that can be really valuable.
Your main pitch is on open source standardized contracts and that definitely resonates, but as a current Ironclad user where they’re our single-most expensive SaaS subscription, your contract lifecycle management system built for startups is what resonates for me.

Do you plan on offering migration services from Ironclad? That would amount to importing our workflows and repository.
Ask HN: Are all these new LLM/AI features just bloat?
We're still experiencing the explosion of AI into the mainstream - there are a myriad of LLM tools/features/integrations popping up.

I use OpenAI's official chat & API - but nothing else. To those that are making use of new features in existing software, or picking up new tools: what are you using, and how has it affected your day-to-day?
Someone has to spend it, though. Uber seem in even less of a position to be footing that bill.

It's a rather notorious HN comment, pretty much our equivalent of "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."
You just can’t succeed technologically underwater. Can’t make fire. Can’t mix things, etc.
I was called plenty of unpleasant stuff, including that. I didn't find any friends and I left at sixteen because of it. I'm not so sure. At thirty, I'm still fairly socially isolated outside of work.
There's no scalar measurement for stability, quality, or strength so there's no direct comparison to be made. It's comparing vectors and the properties of each vector may or may not be things you care about but leaving them unspecified and claiming they're collectively inferior or less meaningful than other things is the straw man you're defeating. People have faith in governments for various reasons, giving their currencies value. People have faith in crypto for various reasons, giving their currencies value.

Nobody is making a claim of general superiority except you. The guy you're responding to simply says THEY have more faith in one particular currency. Why is that so hard to believe? They may not be a US citizen! It's not an objective statement they're making about the quality of USD, but a personal one. The straw man you're attacking seems to be a reflection of your own general idea that USD is the 'supreme' currency and anything having comparable properties in any way is some foundational challenge to this multi-faceted strict dominance. The impure and complicated truth is that each currency has strengths and weaknesses. It is a fact that for any given application and person any given currency can be better/worse for their application. If you exist exclusively in the United States and never break any laws, I can see why this might be difficult to imagine.

For example, some people place great value on being able to transact without the enforcement of American cultural values. This quality of the currency for many is objectively a negative property. Since all currency are largely valued based on fiat anyway these days, why is it so hard to imagine people having preferences more closely aligned with groups other than one of the most geriatric and monochromatic governments on earth?
I don't think it's ignorance as much as "well, that won't be my child." Also, its a much more appealing alternative when it is the path of least resistance. I suspect, too, we don't really have a sophisticated enough conversation on the distributions of the outcomes. From my experience working with teens, I think it is probably the case that the media outcome of having broad access to these is strictly worse than not, but probably of a small magnitude, but that there is a long tail of negative outcomes that no one believes will be their child.
I don't see why UDFs and RLS would need to interact, they're orthogonal concepts that can work in tandem. The DB engine filters out the rows that fail the RLS check, then apply the UDF to the remaining rows.
Well, I think there should be broader discussion of this inadequacy.

"Better integration with conda/conda-forge for building packages" https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/issues/795#issuecomment-1...

Conda now has their own package cryptographic signature software supply chain security control control. Unfortunately, conda's isn't yet W3D DIDs with Verifiable Credentials and sigstore either.

Also, [CycloneDX] SBOMs don't have any package archive or package file signatures; so when you try to audit what software you have on all the containers on your infrastructure there's no way to check the cryptographic signatures of the package authors and maintainers against what's installed on disk.

docker help sbom
# check_signatures python conda zipapps apt/dnf/brew/chocolatey_nuget git /usr/local

And without clients signing before uploading, we can only verify Data Integrity (1) at the package archive level; (2) with pypi's package signature key.
If it's fun, that's great. Adding multiplayer elements to otherwise single-player games or franchises usually just shits them up, though.
Modeling Social Behavior
This would make an amazing premise for a novel or movie!
Countercultures always look really small. If everyone was actually doing it it wouldn't be much of a reaction to the prevailing culture of everyone being connected and having snippy political discussions in neighborhood discussion groups.

All of this organization doesn't actually happen on social media in my social group. We pretty much all just text each other, and everyone I know and care to spend time with does this. The people who are utterly reliant on Facebook to organize their lives have filtered themselves out of my friend group.
That one in particular is somewhat famous and gets trotted out as an example of a bad, wrong take, highly upvoted and missing the point of the product because the audience here is so technical they can barely perceive normal users' problems

It's sort of ironic now, though, because Dropbox has not been doing very well the last few years, because their product wasn't novel enough to compete with the better-integrated solutions from Microsoft, Apple, and Google that Dropbox inspired

Did they even lose a civil suit for killing that person? They were not punished.
When I was young, the kids who played little league were, how do I put this? Dicks. It's not about shoving two like-aged children next to each other and yelling "bond!", it's about a child being able to navigate their own social life and, hopefully, find and bond with people they relate to. Limiting the activities a child can participate in, especially when those activities are widespread among their peers, will of course limit their ability to find their people and form those bonds.
I suspect bad books have always been written; they’re just less visible because of a survivorship bias.
In the USA there is a statute of limitations to challenge wrongful convictions, unconstitutional sentences, etc. Imagine that. Yes the government agrees your were wrongly convicted but because you didn't get a challenge together in time they will keep you in prison anyways and deny you access to the courts. Also, when a certain standard practice is found unconstitutional or agent found to be breaking the rules, etc they do not automatically release everyone who was convicted using it. Each person must (within the time limit as stated above) file a legal motion in court in the correct manner and then win that motion. Things that hold up guys challenging are stuff like you can't file in the Court where you are held (say you are at the supermax in Colorado, guys think they file to the Colorado court) but at the Court that sentenced you. And no, they don't forward your case. And no, your time window to file the case doesn't start over once the Colorado circuit court takes 9 months to find 'lack of jurisdiction' on your first filing.
Nice!

Our docker builds are getting slow despite using kaniko, does depot has a better caching than kaniko?

How so?
I understand the SPA team argument but keep in mind how much complexity SPAs add to projects and how much more resources those teams eat. As a dev I'm okay with this as this enables more work for us devs but having done work with simpler technologies that were easier to maintain, were simpler and so on I can't shake the feeling of wastefulness SPAs give me.
What i find especially intriguing is the certainty some people on this forum have of crypto going to zero. The same certainty they had 2, 5 and 10 years ago. Yet here we are. At what stage do they start questioning the strength of their certainty.
AM radio is a tried and true technology. It's super simple. I think at the very least they should come to a compromise in which certain emergency frequencies are available/accessible in all cars.
So people without cars are supposed to do what?

Fast forward to the first emergency that actually needs this and you're gonna see a bunch of asphyxiation deaths from people running their cars in the garage to listen to the last AM radio they have.

If they really want to keep AM radio viable start a public awareness campaign about its importance and make radios available for free.
