>having a child

Not sure if you've noticed but younger generations that go out and do things are big into having children. Now, some groups on reddit are more extreme on that, but the general trend of Americans at least is to tell the act of having kids to screw off.

---

But to answer your question, it's not Reddit that has this moral system, it's social media in general that has a moral system that does not match reality (kinda). The loudest idiots tend to get voted up, moderates disappear in the bulk of posts. Binary voting systems on sites tend to amplify this. Content suggestion systems tend to lift up contentious posts for engagement. Welcome to the internet.

But coming back to (kinda). This is becoming reality. Behavior IRL affects behavior online. Online behavior affects IRL behavior. People don't talk to their neighbors these days in most places. Communities are spread all over the earth.
> or even related to finance.

Does this apply to working with them in, say, a lobbyist's office? In certain, narrow circumstances I think this would conflict with various laws governing the right to free association and petition. And if you were both elected/appointed to office in the same legislative or executive body I presume the sovereign political interest would trump this clause.
This isn't why Detroit got rekt, and this isn't why SF will get rekt.
If at all, it's the "tough on crime" attitude that destroys city (just look at SF data: since the liberal DA got recalled in favor of cop-pandering one, crime has only risen)
Yes. You do the following:

1. Set a "Screen time" passcode (different from your device passcode!)

2. Go into "Content and Privacy Restrictions" and set "Passcode Changes" and "Account Changes" both to "Don't Allow"

Now you will need to go back and enter your screen time passcode every time you try to change the settings of your Apple/iCloud account, which is sort of annoying. But it'll probably save your account if someone does get your phone passcode.
Even if it passes it will need to be tested in the courts (possibly in multiple states). There was an interesting case in Ireland (I know, not U.S.) recently where non-compete should not be enforceable. Interestingly enough the company still tried their stance in the court but alas failed. This was between Ryanair and Mr. Bellow (ex COO) who left for a competitor EasyJet.

The abuse of power will not just suddenly stop. You will see your contracts polluted with non enforceable non competes for times to come. It probably scares people of.
Was going to recommend the same, it's a fairly quick read also. Watts has a version hosted on his site as well in various formats. I enjoyed the Notes and References section a lot also.

Because they are extremely unreliable and behave in bizarre and unexpected ways. Phone carriers do all kinds of broken and lazy stuff if they think they can get away with it without their subscribers noticing. Source: I used to work at Twilio, we sent a lot of text messages.
I still think they went about that wrong. In my opinion they should have picked up the Chief of the Highway Patrol and the Department of Transportation commissioner and then taken them for a "joy ride" off road and included dashboard mounted barf bags. I think that would have warranted an immediate recall and a closer watch of all future drive-by-wire vehicles.
I'm more inclined to hit him with it
I suspect that Reddit's own automated systems catch a lot of that. There are strong indicators of that type of spam.

I moderate a few small, and mostly inactive, subs. They don't see a whole lot of activity.

On the odd moments I do drop into mod mode (a few times a year, if that), what I see is a fair bit of flagged spam ... and a lot of off-topic posts. One sub in particular seems to have had its topic (a software application of use to Google+ users saving data, which was last relevant on 1 April 2019) with an exam of some sort in India.

Topic drift, relevance drift, and lightweight content displacing substantive posts are far more likely without dedicated, mission-aware mods. AskScience and AskHistorians would be most especially subject to that, as well known examples. I can think of numerous others.

The other issue would be various forms of abuse and brigading, below the thresholds which Reddit's automated systems would detect. Unmoderated forums would far more likely become unpleasant places to participate.
The article claims multiple researchers got sick. I mean, we can posit that this wouldn't ring any alarm bells... but if they have any competence at all, it should've rung some alarm bells and resulted in more testing. And if we'd developed tests for this in November, it wouldn't have been spreading undetected for months.
I think there is a point here if you ignore the grumpy old man delivery.

For example, even python which is dynamically typed, is strongly typed also, so you now have to not just know the distinction between statically typed and dynamically typed but also between strong and weak. Then stray away slightly from vanilla python interpreter/runtime to any of the other flavors and you now have to reason about compile time, runtime, interpretation time, bytecode, interop with jvm etc. So there is a point that the language is a way of expressing something and the implementation is where the devilish details lie. You can argue jython isn't python or whatever and that's all well and good, but you can't really discuss all of this with other reasonable humans without getting into the details of implementation. Sure, for a leetcode level of understanding it doesn't matter much, but try to do something sufficiently complicated like build an os extension in python that interops with your c++ based api and you'll have to think about the implementation of the projections, and then port it to arm and you'll have to think about it all over again.
But only for the whole generation. So if you want to constrain things one token at a time (as you would to force things to follow a grammar) you have to make fresh calls and only request one token which makes things more or less impractical if you want true guarantees. A few months ago I built this anyway to suss out how much more expensive it was [1]

And hospitalized? That's a bit more uncommon than catching a cold.
If it was developed in lab, presumably there would be a substantial amount of information available on it. Lab notes, testing results, transmission rates, all sorts of things we had to discover in the wild.

We could have used that data to make progress on a vaccine (and adjust our overall response) much, much faster.
I take it you haven't been keeping up with the twitter files controversy?
I will experiment with this at the weekend. Once thing I found useful with supplying a json schema in the prompt was that I could supply inline comments and tell it when to leave a field null, etc. I found that much more reliable than describing these nuances elsewhere in the prompt. Presumably I can't do this with functions, but maybe I'll be able to work around it in the prompt (particularly now that I have more room to play with.)
Alex Roy did this several years ago and found that it took longer going from west to east than it did from east to west due to the traffic at the Lincoln tunnel toll booth.
If anything this removes a major roadblock for libraries/languages that want to employ LLM calls as a primitive, no? Although, I fear the vendor lock-in intensifies here, also given how restrictive and specific the Chat API.

Either way, as part of the LMQL team, I am actually pretty excited about this, also with respect to what we want to build going forward. This makes language model programming much easier.
For someone who doesn't have a personal vendetta, you sure spend a lot of time writing about me.

R/startups discord is Rebranding
The incredible discord community from r/startups is rebranding to Ourstartups (get it?), due to the Reddit drama.

There is a massive amount of talent and mentors, including free weekly pro bono legal office hours, pitch deck practice, branding sessions etc.

A moderated and structured community with over 26k professional startup members.

Come join us in the Ourstartups rebranding.
> Unfortunately, discussions of Reddit-like fediverse services Lemmy and Kbin on Reddit were colored by paranoia after the company banned users and subreddits related to these projects (reportedly due to “spam”). While these accounts and subreddits have been reinstated

All have definitely not been reinstated. They banned my 13 year old account without warning because I dared to make an alternative API for Reddit[1]. Even after agreeing to suspend the service they are still yet to unban my account.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are others in the same boat.

Sure. It's not a problem that people who want a casual chat with friends or interest groups use a platform for casual chatting. I say that even though I prefer the earlier world where everything was indexed and people liked to overshare on Facebook.

The problem is when you use Discord (or Slack, or IRC - yes, IRC is just as bad in this context) to run a community that's outward-facing. For example, when a large OSS project, or a foundation, decides to use Discord as its main support/hanging out channel. Participating in such group requires so big an investment of time and attention that it instantly shuts off anyone who has a day job or other interests and responsibilities. Again, this is not about causal chats - your "offtopic" forum thread probably is better off being a Discord channel. The problem is when contributing to, or receiving support from, such community requires being active on a chat group.

Remember "The Tyranny of Structurelessness"[0]? That seminal article from 1970s that, for some reason, just doesn't want to die? It was posted here just three days ago[1]. It actually talks about this. What it calls "elites" that naturally grow as an informal hierarchy in a group without a strong formal hierarchy - Discord, et al. are pretty much designed to create those. The people who are able and willing to keep up with the chat flow, following it all day every day, are the ones that become those "elite", and end up running the community.

This is such a lazy approach to social issues.

Being poor and homeless is so hard. The system is built with countless chicken-egg problems that make it almost impossible to climb out of poverty. On top of this, elitists who are so disconnected are arbitrarily enforcing this kind of amoral depraved nonsense.

Should we just keep stripping the needy of more and more resources until eventually maybe they'll just disappear or die because fuck them for existing and inconveniencing us?

Good grief.
that goes both ways. For sure I know exactly what you're talking about. I see this a lot in deeply religious movements. That said, its not particularly helpful to go from "you must participate in daily prayer" to "you must participate in pride." They key here is Tolerence. you don't have to like it or partificpate in it, you just have to accept that what other people do is fine as long as its not harming anybody. Sadly, neither the extreme right or the extreme left seem to get this.
The article doesn't just say "people got sick" it says that researchers were hospitalized. That doesn't sound like "normal seasonal illness" to me.
> No, because I am less capable

You know yourself better than I, obviously, but if you're assuming that because your path differs from theirs, I think you should have some doubt that the difference is because you are less capable. It may be that you have different values.
in hopes the Castro neighborhood’s unhoused population would move on.

We really need to implement solutions better than "go be homeless somewhere else."
In 2020 Luc Montagnier identified Covid-19 as a lab creation and predicted that, because the original strain was unnatural, later strains would be less problematic as the virus reverted to its true (less problematic) nature. In contrast, the public health conversation was about a permanent threat and how much worse can it get and generally government running around hair-on-fire.

Maybe the initial quarantine recommendation would have been the same--or even stronger-- but the pandemic impacted all aspects of life everywhere, and elements of that would have been different. EcoHealth would be a bad dream, no one would be running interference for Fauci. Vaccinations would have been a different conversation, because this would have been recognized as a temporary threat.

It's a silent change, but I think IoC is becoming commonly accepted as a bad pattern. (And I'm sure we will see a overreach at some point where people do bad things to avoid it.)

The most commonly used languages are there because the most conservative people (that hire a large majority of people) pick them.
I would imagine JSON is easier for a LLM to understand (and for humans!) because it doesn't rely on indentation and confusing syntax for lists, strings etc.
Outbreaks can only happen in places of high density/congregation, by the nature of the required proximity. It could have been dancing around the perimeter for some time.

Maybe my perspective is incorrect, but this seems trivially possible to me. This problem with proximity is why kids didn't go to school.

This comment is laden with rhetoric, but, to address your point regardless: 'military arms' are widely available. The equipment and knowledge to perform advanced virology work is not. It's much simpler to restrict.
The difference between a line of credit and a letter, afaik, is you can't regenerate available credit with a letter by paying back. The letter of credit is a one-time sum, so you can't pay down partway through to extend the lifetime loan amount.

I'm a huge fan of Snapseed[0]. It's not Open Source (like everything on the App Store) but it's free, cross-platform and offers easy access to most of the touch-up tools you want. I'm surprised more people don't talk about it, really.

Yes, and that's what I actually do to solve my current problem. But one of the reasons I run my own email server is to maintain my claim to fourth-amendment protections in light of Smith v. Maryland so I really don't want my mail being routed through a third party.
I had a somewhat similar experience when I got my wisdom teeth out recently.

I consciously remember saying "Wow, this is working way faster than I thought it would" right before the dental assistant told me to go to sleep if I felt like it.

I have some memories of the surgery happening, like my head being jerked around when they pulled teeth out, but it was painless. Immediately after the surgery after I "woke up" I felt like I could remember quite a bit of the procedure but that feeling faded after some time and it all felt like a dream.

The college I went to got a discount on their insurance for some relatively obscure activity being banned, and we only ever found out about it because someone asked why.

It was something like "no canoes in the pond" or something, I cannot recall.

But it was enough of an excuse for the friendly insurance agent to get the quote dropped down (and by more than the actual actuarial tables would suggest I suspect).
I don't understand how long it got for humanity as a whole to see the elephant. New virus, research center close by, Chinese denying but not letting investigation. It's like seeing your your husband exiting a brothel but still need proof he cheated.
Food costs are up overall because (assuming USA)
1. COVID and immigration enforcement severe restricted immigration (legal or otherwise) of farm workers who formed the backbone of farm labor.
2. Oil and gas is critical import for food production. Fertilizer comes from natural gas, farms burn diesel, etc. All of this adds up.

Food delivery always was a luxury especially when it's just for one or two people. Unfortunately, you can't generate exponential growth on wealthy families ordering Friday evening takeout.

At least some of this funding happened during a ban. Doing it offshore was the workaround to avoid it.

Back in my bar-tending days we always told the door staff (bouncers) to slow down when checking IDs early in the evening, just to get a line going. It works surprisingly well for drawing in more customers.

Totally tangential but follow-ups on that psychology:

* some people would walk in and see the still mostly-empty bar and get fed up that they waited in line for "nothing". This was surprisingly few people though.

* some people would ask and buy just about any explanation - "oh that guy is new and still learning", "we had someone get in on a fake ID and got a fine the other day so the guys are just being careful" or whatever and the people would be glad they got in early to get a good spot.

* sometimes we'd slow down the bar staff a bit too so that there was a line to buy drinks and people were happier that they had to wait in line again - confirming their bias that they must have gotten in at the start of the rush.

* some people were wise to the scam and everyone who called us on it thought it was great. They often offered to have their buddies come through the line a few times in exchange for a free drink.

* for some reason when you let your buddies, regulars and off-shift staff cut the line and get in quick, the rest of the folks seemed more willing to wait in the line.

tl; dr - group psychology of humans is wierd.

It doesn't seem that far off though, it does have a union type and with pattern matching you can achieve pretty much the same thing (sure you may need a few extra classes if the types aren't distinct already but that seems like a small difference).

I don't know if type checkers can figure out if a pattern match statement is exhaustive yet though, that would be interesting.
That was always allowed.

And yet, very many people are terminally online in one way or another. Even if the term "terminally online" has very strong stigma and most people would not consider to be a part of that group, they still spend hours every day on social media, and have no means of quitting it even knowing the harmful effects.
Parallel programming is simply a type of concurrent programming. Concurrent means that two tasks can both progress in a given duration. On a single core computer every thread runs concurrently. Parallel expands on concurrency to mean that two concurrent tasks can also run at the exact same time. On a multi-core computer threads can run in parallel. In many cases concurrent programming and parallel programming have little to no difference, and you program with the assumption that every task can run in parallel (for example, whenever you use async/await or the threadpool).
Perhaps. But then why not just say “no results found”? Because that might give the impression to the “average” user that Google is broken and isn’t solving their problem. To the more sophisticated user, Google is just meddling where they shouldn’t.

Google is proving the central limit theorem by catering to the average.
