I was a volunteer on a crisis hotline, and I thought a great deal about this.

Firstly, very few people on the service I volunteered for had authorities called on them- roughly one in every thousand calls.

Usually, if I mentioned that emergency services would need to be called, this was actually a motivator for the person to work with me and come up with a strategy to keep them safe for the night.

For those few who did need to have authorities, they fell into one of two categories. Firstly, while rare, there was one person where we had to call the police because they knew the system well and knew that if they told me certain things, it would be required that the police would be called. I can't reveal anything about the call, but they told me that they didn't want to be in the situation they were in, and that they'd been in and out of hospitals before. They understood that getting emergency services involved would get them out of their current situation, which happened to be high school.

More commonly are people where they genuinely needed help. My feeling about them was that if someone uses a suicide hotline, they are asking to be convinced not to end their life. They're literally asking for help.

What upset me more are the times when I strongly felt someone needed to have emergency services called, but they didn't check the boxes, so we couldn't.
I wonder if human learning will be similarly impaired.
Supply chain disruption and opportunistic price gouging are actually SIGNS of inflation, not causes of it. In a socialist country I grew up in the opportunistic price gouging was illegal, so supply chain was ALWAYS disrupted…

So, in your list the only true cause of inflation remains.

A new way to discover, connect with like-minded individuals
The industry did not go fully remote-first, so remote-only workers are presumed to have fewer competing offers.
Altium is resting on their laurels though, whereas KiCad is actually picking up velocity and adoption. One of the biggest things the EDA industry lacks (and altium doesn't even support until you pay them big money) is meaningful automation / version control.

Altium has this, but coming from the software side of things, holy hell is it poorly implemented and clunky.
We've all read the duck story, but it was probably bullshit, and nobody does that
Maybe there’s an interesting sci-fi angle here where some day in the future, all AIs speak in accented English circa 2021, when the stream of pure training data began to Peter out.

All AIs built are trained on data from the Before Times, and even though they try to assimilate, the way a teenager tries to adapt to the local accent of a new town, there are always moments where they slip up and reveal their geography.
This is only a good idea if you are *specifically not* using OpenAI.

If you use local models then it's a fantastic idea.

I’m wondering the same. Earlier in the article he mentions UTC.

This is a strawman. Nobody is arguing that this loses Jack Daniels revenue, they're arguing that it waters down their IP and deprives them of the ability to monetize their brand image. Sheesh.
And they will continue to exist. The name or Trade Mark has value. So those will be sold off to someone else, hopefully with the IP.
I don't understand the quoted sentence from GP, what does that really mean?

Also, you seem to think you don't choose your reality because it's "objective". Why do you believe that? From a relativistic point of view, wouldn't those occultists also think that their reality is the "real" one, and that you are choosing your reality out of sheer self-indulgence (or ignorance, or whatever)?

I just wish there was an actually free version of what Fusion360 offers. Even if it wasn’t nearly as good, like even half as good, it would be sufficient for hobby work. It’s just that to do anything remotely fancy there is simply no alternative. FreeCAD is just not even in the same league, sadly enough. The difference is so high that it’s not even worthwhile to discuss them together

To me "critical thinking" and being able to think out of the box are some of the key differences between a software developer and a software engineer.
A software developer just develops according to what he was told. A software engineer has to figure out stuff for himself.
I have many colleagues who can't really think for themselves. Once they hit an obstacle, they are stuck and can't come up with workarounds.
Software engineers are rarer and able to do exactly that.
Surely that illustrates the opposite: if women in relationships are complaining about their partners not spending enough that means they're usually forming relationships without that as a selection criteria. If it were, it cannot be the chief complaint because those boys would have no girls.
It seems like the plan of private equity is always to leave creditors holding the bag. So why in the first place do creditors lend to any company at reasonable rates without assurances this won't happen?

In the Bush years climate scientists told people that change is coming, and nobody paid attention.

In the Biden years climate scientists are telling people that change is here, and it IS here.

And more people are at least talking about the change, and asking what are we going to do about it.

And the worst thing to tell someone who is motivated and curious (and an entire Generation Z is) is to say "It's too late. You had your chance and you blew it. There's nothing to do now"

Your first sentence betrays a horrific misunderstanding: "I don't care if it's possible or not". It should not change my certainty in my ability to try. Even if it's not possible, it's still worth trying. What else are we supposed to do?

Maybe it's different on mobile but I see a moka pot as the first image. I have a 6-cup model, which has a 12 oz. capacity.

The point is that no one really uses those as measurements, they're not useful. But almost every coffee maker comes labeled with cups anyway for some reason, probably marketing for comparison shoppers. Obviously you're right that espresso machines don't have cup markings (however that would even work), but I have to say this is the first time I've seen someone call an espresso machine a coffee maker (hence my uh... curt previous response, sorry about that).

Godwin's law strikes again...

Apply the logic for why Mao was as bad as Hitler, read up on the Bengal famine, and you'll come to the conclusion that Churchill was also Hitler. But of course he wasn't Hitler, and famines aren't on the same scale as the Holocaust.

While you're educating yourself, perhaps read up on Mao's nationalist counterpart in the Civil War, a fascist dictator and war criminal named Chiang Kai-Shek. I would find the comparison to George Washington and Chiang Kai-Shek to be quite distasteful. George Washington was not a bad man by the standards of his time, he was not a dictator, and he was not a war criminal.

Conversely, Chiang Kai-Shek was a murderous tyrant even by contemporary standards. During the White Terror of 1927, he infamously stated he'd prefer to kill 1000 innocent people "by mistake" than let one communist live. Over 300,000 people were murdered during this purge alone, and that's a floor. Some estimates put the death toll in the millions. We'll never know the true body count. Unfortunately, it was not difficult to kill people without a trace in rural China at this time. At any rate, it was a crime against humanity within an order of magnitude of Stalin's Great Purge. And this was just one of the many, many atrocities committed by Chiang Kai-Shek. I don't think anyone could fight this monster and win, without becoming a monster themselves.

And yet, I have no trouble understanding why Taiwanese people might have mixed feelings about this heinous man. Without Chiang Kai-Shek, there would be no Taiwan. As it stands, only 12 UN nations recognize Taiwan as an independent country. Nationalism is a helluva drug...

Why is it that we all know Mao Zedong's name in infamy, and not Chiang Kai-Shek? Because we are always eating from the trashcan of ideology.

> Slow performance: Current solutions only offer a single region for email sending, even when all your end users are located in another part of the world. We allow you to choose what region your emails should be sent from (US, Europe, or LATAM), which minimizes latency and improves time-to-inbox.

Why does this matter? Does the difference ever realistically exceed even one second?

(Assumptions: being transactional email, messages are generally small enough to play well with typical TCP window sizes; and you can send a message within about three round trips, which I could easily be wrong about—I suppose you’ve got TLS handshake, SMTP handshake, then data, not actually certain how much blocking happens in each of these steps. Maybe two seconds is a more realistic maximum realistic difference?)

Since, you are the instructor for 15-150 this semester and have graduated from CMU as per the slides. I would like to know what you think about similar intro course sequences elsewhere.

Like BrownU's CS019 course using Pyret. It also teaches a functional approach to programming.

Also Berkeley's CS61A,B,C trilogy.

Do intro level courses matter in the long run? Or is it the higher level courses that set apart universities in undergrad CS education?
I agree. In addition to your theory, I think that even if protests are ineffective in the short term, they can be effective in the long term. That is, the media attention given to protests can gradually change people's thinking. But it is a very slow and subtle shift, and impossible to measure. Of course, one might argue that shifts in the zeitgeist were already happening, and protests are just a symptom. Personally I think it goes both ways, they feed into each other.

We can hope that even if the Reddit protests ultimately go nowhere, they will at least have shifted public opinion, if only slightly.

Right....and we did.

At the beginning they were screaming Lab Leak, and the rest of us looked at the evidence and said "Well, yes, that's certainly suspicious and should be investigated. But we don't have evidence for it yet, so the reasonable thing to do would be to wait and see." And the Lab Leakers screamed "NO, it was CHINA, don't you see? We need to put tariffs on them!". And we said "uh huh. OK. Yes, your certainty that it's China doesn't make it more logical."

And then later, when new evidence came in we said "Huh. OK. Well that's interesting. That's definitely more likely now. OK"
I spent years living in Taipei studying traditional Chinese before I moved to Moscow to study Russian. I actually found that they were linguistically distinct enough that it was easy to compartmentalize each language in my head without any cross bleed like you would have if you were studying Spanish and Portuguese simultaneously.
That's an interesting take, and certainly one I empathize with. Did Lowenstein argue that not finishing projects is a negative trait as it's often portrayed as?
It's certainly weird seeing commentators in this thread implicitly supporting child labor. Note that the kids shown in the OP are mostly under 12 yrs old. This isn't teenagers doing a newspaper round, or bussing tables at the local burger job at weekends; they were working for 8-12 hours a day in industrial environments rather than going to school.

There's simply no way that that kind of child labor provides any benefit to the child, unless they were literally starving, in which case one is faced with a different larger problem.
I am much younger than this guy and have dated way fewer people, and I’ve been involved with two people like that. So it’s almost definitely something they’re doing, given n>50.

I’m also not convinced I should date forever and never get married, nor that women are all seeking to simply extract and be entertained by me. This could be related (lol)
>Why formate? Can't you get hydrogen from any acid, because that's literally the definition of an acid?

Formate releases hydrogen differently:

HCOOH >> H2 + CO2

Other acids need an electron donor to produce hydrogen. Formate reduces itself.

>"If the regeneration and reaction could be performed at 8 M rather than 3 M concentration...", why can't they?

You're getting a little over my head here, but I think there might be some solubility problems.

>"If the cell voltage could be reduced" sounds super fishy to me; isn't that just a useless wish that the elements / molecules you're working with have different properties than they actually do?

The standard electrode potential does create a minimum voltage, but usually there is considerable inefficiency.

I can't answer the other questions, except to mention that formate is very stable and easy to store.

Thanks for the feedback!

There are indeed trade-offs, and I'm aware that most people would prefer to post for free. However, I believe the 100% free model is not sustainable, and it's worth experimenting with different approaches. Companies providing these types of services tend to become hostile towards their users over time in order to pay their bills, resorting to selling personal data, holding user-generated content hostage, or cluttering their websites with ads.

Charging a small transaction fee to the user might also have some advantages: it discourages spam and encourages more thoughtful posting. And we're talking about an amount that is trivial for most users.

Regarding speed, Algorand provides transaction finality in under 4 seconds, which is one of the main reasons I believe it's a good fit for this project. Creating a post or comment is a bit slower than posting on Hacker News, but it still feels pretty fast.

As for scalability, I'd say let's cross that bridge when we get there. Currently, Metapost is only publishing text posts to the blockchain. Hosting things like images or videos would be better suited for IPFS, with only the links being published on the chain.

This is exactly what jupytext gives you. The "pairing" is optional (and sometimed confusing). You can just work with .py files as notebooks and never ever see a .ipynb on your disk again.

The notebook .py files are just regular python files with comments that can be edited at hand wih any text editor. Thus you can easily collaborate with your local graybeards that will dislike editing text on their web browsers.

Very nice work and congrats on taking this on successfully.
Hmm, I think I actually have something to contribute here in terms of understanding: you're right that counterculture doesn't really exist as it may have in the past, but the desire to show individuality still is there which has led to a progressive acceleration in the edginess/weirdness of modern meme culture.

If you feel slightly put off by the memes you see and/or discourse around them, it's sort of by design. It's meant to differentiate.

I've only recently realized this though (as I've expanded my perspective), and I think for the most part, this is something that largely happens subconsciously. If you ask someone gen z or younger, they won't know what you're talking about if you ask. That's mostly because your baseline of edginess/weirdness is defined by relative experience, and someone who's grown up perpetually online is likely to be skewed much more differently than someone who hasn't.
If you don't think lowering interest rates causes the value of money to go down, ask what would happen if the central bank set the interest rate to negative 10%.

Nothing happens in a vacuum. Things can't be reduced so much. But the idea that lowering interest rates will bring down inflation is not mainstream for a reason.
> it's what you believe when you don't have belief

I know it's trendy to dismiss energy, chakras, astral projection out of hand, but there's some weird shit that feels every bit as real as any other experience if you know how to tap into them.

Someone entering trance states (like Crowley's wife apparently) and interacting with those levels of consciousness isn't engaged in belief, they're having experiences that are real to them.
Those are not single-region services. Changes must be executed there, but the data is replicated globally. If you don’t need to make changes in the context of those services, they will keep working in the other regions even during an incident in the primary region.
