Playing outdoors, spending time with friends, reading books and hanging out with family is happening a lot less to make room for hours of snap chatting, instagramming, and catching up on You Tube.

I'm pretty sure cause and effect run the other way. The world has changed in a lot of ways and the internet gives people a constructive outlet to fill the void.

Average number of children per household has dropped steadily over several generations. This means not only fewer siblings but fewer aunts, uncles and cousins. There are knock on effects from there that help make it less safe to play outdoors in a lot of places, family less available, etc.

Too be fair. As a parent you can only screw up. Either like me trying to control the flow of stupid information or by not giving the kids any control.

My decision come from my own experience with my own media usage. I think back in the days there was a natural stop. Like cartoons only aired in the afternoon or on Saturday. There been time slices when one where able to enjoy a specific medium. Hell even stuff like porn came in limited doses for normal people. But today? My kids could watch cartoons for the nexts month without a pause.

I saw this in myself at around 2018 when scrolling threw Facebook at traffic lights etc. I thought to myself what the hell are you doing? So I deleted the app from my phone and 6 month later the whole account.
Weight placed on the face makes a qualitative difference. More weight means bigger straps and more pressure against the face to keep it there. If the Apple vision is light enough then it might not be an issue, but the size of the strap they're using hints that it's much more significant than most everyday wearable objects.

Thanks, that’s a good idea for an interim solution.

I hadn’t seen the full keynote until after my comment so hopefully the new autocorrect really is better in general.
I’ve looked a bit and haven’t seen any experiments at all.

If by control you mean control group, there’s no need for that. If even a single pair of people could pass messages in a way that’s inexplicable except for the DMT realm, having another group bomb the test doesn’t change anything.

I don’t think it’ll ever happen though. I have this belief that something prevents these things getting pinned down by empiricism. Like if you’re caught trying to prove it, the signal gets jammed. Yes, this makes it unfalsifiable. I’ll respect anyone who loses interest for that reason. Unfalsifiable isn’t quite the same as false, though.

Most experiments around actually interacting with entities seem incredibly naive. Like imagine I told you I had a friend who makes the most amazing animal impressions in the world, but he lives in a dangerous neighborhood. One person refuses to go because it’s hazardous, and declares he’s not real. Another walks in, shoves a tape recorder in his face and says “bark like a dog for 10 seconds”. He analyzes the recording and declares it a 0% match. (It was a 100% match for a human saying “piss off” though). But you keep hearing these stories about people who show up, ask nicely, and get to hear the cool animal sounds.
When Apple does something new, everyone else generally has it in a few years.

That's the point of attempts to coordinate group behavior, like this site. The goal is to avoid having your kid be the only one without a smartphone, by tacitly communicating with enough other parents who have a similar goal in mind.
Yeah, but "easy" is relative. A lot of people out there really only know how to use their phone to browse social media. This doesn't stop them from becoming parents.

You can give your child access to technology, allow them to play with their friends, watch space launches etc. without handing them over to corporations who are only interested in exploiting and manipulating them.

It's great that your kid isn't a terrorist. It's a shame, that at age 6 there's already a collection of dossiers being stuffed with data about your child which will follow them for their entire life. It's a shame that they've been being manipulated by lies at an age when they literally can't always tell what's real or not. It's amazing how we failed to learn our lessons there when it was just TV, but advertising now is so much worse than anything we were exposed to on television.

Kids should have computers and they should have access to the internet, but that doesn't mean they need a cell phone and their interactions should be carefully monitored and supervised.

Pretending technology and social media doesn't exist isn't any worse than pretending that children have the capacity to handle social media and the companies who are only looking to take advantage of them. Denying your kids 24/7 access to a cell phone and a facebook account seems a lot more grounded in reality.
My daughter had a friend over and we played a boardgame together. It was impossible to hold the attention of her friend. Every round she needed a nudge that it is again her turn. In between constant tick tock scrolling. Sorry but I‘m wondering what happens to these kids in the future. And how conversations and interactions they‘ll have etc.

That's cool you, a tech-savvy HN poster, has managed to wield technology to find a high-reward/low-risk way to parent using devices, but perhaps your 'correct' solution may not work in all contexts for all people.

Perhaps you just have a kid who has the right temperament to handle devices when young.

Perhaps you work few enough hours or have the resources necessary to parent in a way to make this work.

Perhaps the kids around your kid are generally a good influence.

If there's any truism to parenting (and education) its that there's no one size fits all solution. We're in a moment in time where devices are not exactly great for children given the tools and understanding available. Socializing less device use in a society saturated with addictive devices and experiences doesn't seem that bad an idea, right?
Smartphone <> social media

It's disingenuous to pretend watching some documentary on planets is the same as scrolling on tiktok. These devices have two faces: one is excellent and you can learn a lot from it, the other is pure crystal meth and messed you up.

I think delaying the crystal meth part is fine, but delaying access to education feels rather shortsighted.
Agree tech isn't the problem per say, but "fell for" implies there wasn't a value proposition. The reason each successive platform became successful was because it did something better than it's predecessors and at the right time.
Alas, the mere possibility of accidentally adding too much info into a help ticket by support staff alone is enough to have the company insist we use something else.

Almost all of your queries are simple google/documentation/“ffmpeg -h” lookups. AI doesn’t do anything here but add uncertainty whether the information is correct.

Anyway, I don’t think you understand what costs programmer time. The tasks you mention do not cost them hours, they don’t even add up to hours.

fwiw I am a programmer, e.g. I have almost 3 decades of experience in c++, which, according to your submission history, you just started learning? Nothing wrong with that, but then I’m not sure why you speak like an authority in programming by denigrating others’ ability and making hiring/firing recommendations.
No. Russians are trying to stop the counter offensive. This move will free up troops to defend Melitopol. Capturing that city effectively blocks land supply route to Crimea.
Careful selection and monitoring remains their responsibility and accountability typically remains with them. Delegation is not risk free although plenty of managers pretend otherwise.

Depends on how you look at it. Rummaging for stats, it looks like analog photos peaked at around 80 billion photos per year. Digital cameras were rapidly replacing that and increasing the number of photos taken somewhat. But current estimates are in the neighbor hood of 2 trillion photos per year. Digital photography won over film early in the smartphone era, but that was still just the beginning.
A big part of amateur radio operations is knowing what the allowable frequencies are for where you are - when I first put the “DL” (for Germany) ahead of my US callsign, it was a) to let everyone else know I was operating in Germany, and b) to acknowledge that I knew what the rules were for operating in Germany.

“Don’t play music over amateur radio” is another big one that is literally a question on the Technician (entry-level) license exam.

Also, broadcasting (transmissions intended to be listened to by non-hams) under an amateur license is illegal in ordinary conditions. That’s what broadcasting licenses are for.

And trying to bump people off a frequency is considered the height of jerk behavior.

So, good for the FCC, an excellent use of our license fees.
Thats one likely outcome, yes.
> But the parents are too addicted to screens to parent.

I think this is actually the key to getting kids on board with waiting on a smartphone. If the schools told the kids that smartphone addiction isn't good, and that their parents may be addicted, that would empower the kids to chastise their parents when they're using their phones too much or ignoring people right in front of them.

Then a couple years later, when the kids are thinking about wanting a smartphone of their own, it's already become ingrained in them (by having chastised their parents many times) that smartphones can be addictive, even for adults. They would then be more understanding that perhaps it's not in their best interest to get a smartphone so young.

I would welcome having my kid chide me for being on my phone too much if it meant I could hold off on giving her a smartphone for an extra year or two.

But a huge part of their throughput numbers is them having the equivalent of 16 memory channels.

AFIK it's not that e.g. AMD couldn't do that and use on-die LPDDR5, I mean that is a bit different but not sustainable harder then using their chiplet + X3D tech.

The problem is that for AMD it's not a good business decision. First they need to be price competitive (a problem Apple doesn't have). Most applications outside some areas scale much more with the speed/latency of RAM then with bandwidth increase (beyond some basic level). In turn for a lot of e.g. desktop Ryzen processor use cases which are not media processing there is not enough value into adding many more channels. Especially if you consider that for large parts of the prosumer/server space IT admins will be really unhappy with on-die RAM Apple can afford forcing it, AMD can not. The reason is that while for desktop systems RAM death is rarely an issue in the server/heavily used workstation spectrum RAM death is not uncommon. Even for media processing or multi VM servers going beyond a certain number of channels (less then 16) is unlikely to be a good financial decision. I would go as far as arguing if the M2 Ultra wouldn't be based on tightly gluing 2 processors together and that processors have 8 channels because they are sold with a focus for media processing it wouldn't have anywhere close to 16 channels (but for Apple the cost of having less then 16 channels with their design is higher then the cost of having them, partially because they also don't sell server they don't want to compete with accidentally and similar).

Where I'm going with this is that outside of some media processing targeted products they don't need to "get their throughput up to more competive level" and getting it to having a some additional 8 channel choices (e.g. for some high end laptops) would likely be good enough in practice. And in turn we are unlikely to see more. And in turn they have no reason to try tricks like using GDDR memory.

The way Apple can push hardware vendors here is less because of a need for many more channels, but because for a want.
> A context-less function can call a contextual one by passing in a context.Background()

Yeah, but if you're calling passing context.Background() because the caller's caller had a context but you can't access it through the context-less caller, now you've got a "synchronicity leak" (a.k.a. "the program won't gracefully shut down when I press ^C.")

Golang's concurrency is an abstract machine model whose soundness you need to enforce yourself, because the compiler doesn't care about it.

If the compiler actually cared about enforcing the concurrency model, writing code like the you're describing would fail to compile, due to function coloring.
How we should handle our first encounters has been asked before in an article titled:

"Kill Them And Eat Them" (opinion) by Jules Siegel, illustrated by Doug Taylor in

Playboy Magazine August 1977 vol.24, no.8

IIRC the article argues that:

- every modern civilization has been a disaster for less-modern ones,

- the only group that have survived encounters with modern civilization are the Yanomami Indians of the Amazon who have avoided cultural contamination by killing and eating anyone who intrudes upon their territory. Therefore...

- we should adopt the Yanomamis' strategy in dealing with advanced civilizations.

Perhaps you are right about Jesus. Perhaps Jesus and the Yanomami would be quite compatible. After all, when I was a teen we played guitars and sang songs at Mass. One relevant verse comes to mind:

Eat His body,

Drink His blood,

And we'll sing

A song of love,

Allelu-, allelu-, allelu-, alleluia.
On a system level, a false positive like this usually generates many, many follow-ups and additional tests just to be safe. That additional patient is now waiting significantly longer for the system to clear the backlog of high priority false alarms.

We can't ethically deny people care they actually need, so the most important tool we have to optimize healthcare resources is to avoid doing unnecessary things, even if it may seem slower upfront.
The dam disappearing doesn't mean the flow of water disappears. The water level might drop below the intake of the North Crimean Canal, but the canal already requires pumping water uphill to get it all the way to Crimea, so the dam doesn't necessarily have to be fully reconstructed to deal with a lower water level, a second pumping station would be enough.
Exactly.

The other issue is people forget that PHI can be used for treatment, payment and operations. You can totally put PHI in your systems literally any system but you NEED to adhere to the mandated controls specified in your BAA unless you’re a CE.

Vendors don’t want to adhere to breach notification requirements or actually (gasp) do security which is why they charge you extra just to sign a BAA.

A fair point, but in that case, I think that an activist campaign focused on educating parents would be far more adequate.

The problem with those kinds of pledges is that, like the prohibition, what starts with voluntary pledges ends up becoming a social taboo, then administrative rule, and finally, law.
Crimea has survived without water for years previously. Russia may have determined that the expense of some aquaducts across the Kerch Strait is less than the expense they may incur from a successful Ukrainian crossing of the river.

Or they may have determined they are likely to lose Crimea anyway and are salting the earth behind them.

This is to say, there are plenty of reasons why they may feel motivated to do this. Furthermore they destroyed another smaller dam in Eastern Ukraine only about 2 weeks ago.
Mom read books and always had her nose in a book and volunteered in libraries. She also did a good deal of physical housework, which was mostly hidden from my view and distasteful to me. As kids, she absolutely relied on the TV to electronically babysit me and my sister and keep us distracted so Mom is not bothered by annoying offspring seeking love and attention.

Dad was a radio fan and an office dweller. I never saw him at work, but he worked at a desk when he wasn't on site, and he was a brainy scientist. He had a den where he worked at a desk, or he would hide behind the newspaper in the living room and try to pretend he was ignoring us, because God forbid he give his approval or attention to anything his son should do to please him.

And so from an early age, I had a vague sense of vocation and purpose. I would grow up to work on computers in an office. I would not need any sort of physical education and I would not need to go outdoors, play a sport, or have an active hobby. So this shaped my attitude at school, where I always had my nose in a book, then in computer screens. I absolutely protested against physical education; I found it increasingly distasteful, difficult, and it was downright traumatic before I entered high school.

So I was always destined for screen addiction. Blame my parents, blame the media companies, blame my schoolteachers, but the forces at work were just too powerful for anyone to counteract.

If you try to address "screen time" as an isolated thing, or blame "social media" for social/mental ills, you will be tilting at windmills. Be holistic about mental health. Seek environments and philosophies which promote virtuous living across the board. Temperance, Justice, Prudence, Fortitude, and all the rest. Love your children, care for them, value them, and they will thank you later.

ADHD isn't a "sickness". It's a neurodevelopmental condition. And not "everyone" has it.

I was the youngest person in the UK to be diagnosed in the '90s. Was medicated with Ritalin until I was 10, at which point I abruptly stopped taking it as my dosage was wrong as my weight and height pre-puberty were all over the place and was incapable of conveying this.

20 years on after stopping the Ritalin, realizing that the drugs worked and that normal people don't struggle with socializing or organizing their personal life, it fucking sucks. The waiting list for titration is very long in the UK, and going private doesn't speed anything along as the NHS now just refer to private providers for it.

Been trying to get help since last August.

I used to say the same thing about ADHD being why I have the life I do, but with age comes the realization that my life isn't my work, that's such a small part of it, and my personal life is fucked in terms of social aspects.
