This is not a zero sum game. We can acknowledge that there has been regression or no change in some areas without any bearing on the negative outcomes of over corrective attitudes towards men.

Food for thought: the types of men who are likely to rely on macho masculinity and the abuse of power dynamics are the least likely to be phased by an undercurrent of anti-male sentiment.

Sensitive men, the men who are not propagating these patterns are the men who take such sentiment seriously, and are more likely to be harmed/held back by it.

The issue is not “men”. The issue is bad behavior. But as long as the framing is men vs. women, people who are not exhibiting the targeted behavior get caught up in the broader backlash, leading to a very hostile situation that does little to address the real issues in a sustainable way.

It may be that the pendulum swing was necessary for a time, and indeed there have been times in our history where this was obvious, e.g. the women’s suffrage movement.

And there are still clear wage gaps and the issue of bodily autonomy among others that remain critical to solve. But those can be addressed without perpetuating a culture that demonizes boys for being born male. This is a shift in thinking that we must make.
>I asked if they ever tested the backups... no.

THIS.

I briefly worked for a major European bank. There was a system that was backed up on tape. The way they checked the backups was to visually look at the tape spool - before sending the tapes off to a mountain to be preserved.

One day, they needed something from a back up. Sure enough, the tapes were simply blank due a bug in the back up script.

I don’t think people do (or should) actually care about the internal representation of the first digit of .1 + .2. They might care about the printed representation.

If you round to the nearest, like, 10E-8 (maybe relative if your numbers being printed have massive range) it should be basically fine with doubles.

a cracked radiator is pretty easy to fix after a front end fender bender on a car from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.

Less easy to fix is the fascia/front end on a 2021 Make/Model because they're designed to be "totaled" in a 60 mph collision. (the shock absorption that destroys the vehicle front end keeps the occupant safer in the cabin.)

> [...] LLM integration [...] is something every company is being asked to have a plan on, but one few are technically staffed to execute on their own.

But this is still the "language of hype". LLM integration to do what? I'm not saying they're not doing anything useful, just that this is not a way to describe either a productivity-enhancing technology (feature) or an actual value proposition (benefit) in a meaningful way.
> The real mystery is why most modern languages continue to use floats and integers as the default numeric types rather than some sort of BigDecimal representation, given that precision and programmer intuitiveness trumps raw performance in the vast majority of cases.

BigDecimal actually doesn't fix anything. The underlying problem is that decimal representations are rarely finite--in base 10, 1 / 3 has to get rounded to 0.333, so the same problem comes up as 1 / 3 * 3 = 0.999 ≠ 1. If you want to fix that, you have to move to rational representations, but then you get flummoxed by things like sqrt(2) or atan(1/10) or pi.

No, the thing is that 0.1 + 0.2 is 0.3 in double arithmetic. The result differs from the closest representation to 0.3 only a tiny bit--like measuring the distance between LA and NY and being off by a few atoms. The problem is that == is checking for equality of all bits rather than a tolerance, and that string printing is using rules that it prints the shortest base-10 representation that rounds to that extra floating-point value, both of which exaggerate the importance of the last few bits. So the real mystery is why no one's designed a language that makes floating-point comparisons default to relative tolerance of 10^-10 or so.

> The Othello paper is hardly a counter example. Researchers created an Othello specific model that almost learned the grammar of Othello not how to play well. Yes, there was largely correct internal game state built up from past moves. No it didn’t actually learn the rules so it would make strictly legal moves nor did it learn to make good moves

It is, though. Nobody said anything about playing well, or learning the rules. The very fact that it had a valid internal representation of the game state means it's extrapolated beyond token-level. Which is the point.

> However, from a hyper environmentalist position, this invention unfortunately ended up fueling all manners of wars through the specific material requirements, cobalt being the prime example, it also sort of helped kick off the idea of devices that could be almost disposable (non-replaceable batteries) but these are all secondary flow on impacts of Goodenough's core invention.

From an environmentalist position nothing else has even come close to getting us away from fossil fuels and enabling renewables. The environment doesn't even care about slave labor and wars have only a minor effect. It is coal, oil, and the like that are the enemy. We are already 20 years late in transitioning away from fossil fuels.

In the entire, very long article, there are only three references to Jewishness - twice saying that people had Jewish immigrant parents, and once in reference to the makeup of a particular mob which also references their Italian members, putting the lie to your claim that other ethnic backgrounds are not mentioned.

Making things out to be anti-semitic when they're not, such as happened to Corbyn, is a popular smear tactic. It's pretty disgusting though, and many Jewish people have pointed out that it's a very harmful and anti-semitic thing to do.
An article that further highlights the point I made - they site some groups getting more acne when adapting a “wester diet” (not just milk), and fail to address all the easily found counter examples rested to dairy.

But that paper is only 1/3 about milk, it also cites high glycemic index carbs and saturated fats as being causes. Health issues around low fiber high glycemic carbs is not a new or novel claim

Going back to the ethnic groups it cites as seeing increased acne with adoption of “western” diets. It’s not a surprise or novel finding that a diet of ultra processed high glycemic low fiber and all the other issues with the convenience food diet causes health issues. It is interesting they cite a group known for lactose intolerance and blame dairy.

They cite one disease as creating a natural experiment, and yet don’t mention lactose intolerance.

And this new paper is just about acne, not the wide range of modern afflictions mentioned before.

Dairy very well could have negative impacts, but it also could be the next aluminum or eggs.

I’m not going to argue with eating less refined carbs and sugars and eating more vegetables. That’s well supported advice.

Latching onto select dietary papers and then extrapolating to broad conclusions is a hallmark of what’s wrong with how the media and people understand nutrition science.

I loved that car, it was a second gen turbo with t-tops. It's effectively a street legal go-cart, actually very si.ilar to an early Lotus Elise if you've ever driven one.

I never had issues with it spinning around on my, though I was always very aware of how centered the weight balance was so it was clear when I was getting close to the edge.

I'd take a car like that over a true high performance vehicle any day. Taking a fast turn on public street at legal speeds was more engaging than doing 110 in a Corvette on a track in my opinion.
> This article seems to assume that this is an isolated incident or that the CEO and other CEOs in question are somehow not responsible for the murder of their consumers.

I think you completely misread the article, which actually suggests that this is commonplace: "we should perhaps give pause to consider that in America, we seem entirely comfortable with sociopaths (or those with such tendencies, at least) driving progress at the expense of human life, and even continue to financially support them."
I should also mention that I’m only 6 months in, and I can only imagine what a decade of practice brings.

The word "user" is ambiguous.

There are two kinds of relationships between an "user" and a computer.

The computer may belong to the employer of the "user" and the "user" receives temporary local access or remote access to it, in order to perform the job's tasks. Or the computer may belong to some company that provides some paid or free services, which involve the local or remote using of a computer.

In such a context, the main purpose of security is indeed to ensure that the "user" cannot use the computer for anything else than what is intended by the computer owner.

The second kind of relationship between a "user" and a computer is when the "user" is supposed to be the owner or the co-owner of the computer. In this case the security should be directed only towards external threats and any security feature which is hidden or which cannot be overridden by the "user" is not acceptable.

Except perhaps in special cases, parental controls should no longer be necessary after a much lower age than usually claimed, as they are useless anyway.

I have grown up in a society where everybody was subjected to parental controls, regardless of age, i.e. regardless whether they were 10 years old, 40 years old or 100 years old.

Among many other things that were taboo, there was no pornography, either in printed form, or in movie theaters or on TV.

Despite this, the young children, at least the young boys, were no more innocent than they would be today given unrestricted access to Internet. At school, after the age of 10 years, whenever there were no adults or girls around, a common pass-time was the telling of various sexual jokes. I have no idea which was the source of those jokes, but there was an enormous number of them and they included pretty much everything that can be seen in a porno movie today. The only difference between the children of that time and those who would be exposed to pornography today was that due to the lack of visual information both those who were telling and those who were listening did not understand many of the words or descriptions included in the jokes.

So even Draconian measures designed to "protect the innocence of the children" fail to achieve their purpose and AFAIK none of those boys who "lost their innocence" by being exposed to pornographic jokes at a low age were influenced in any way by this.

> not identifying with the whole “group showers and snapping towels at asses” masculinity

Me, neither. And, in fact, I've never met anybody who did. Have you ever noticed how many of the movies we grew up watching were about a "shy, sensitive boy" who "wasn't like the jocks" who ended up getting the girl in the end? Ever notice how that trope appealed to almost everybody? That's because that's how everybody remembers their teenage years, too - even the guys who actually were on the football team taking group showers.
"I hope nobody I love ever attempts something like this."

THAT's it, exactly. If ANYONE at all values you as a person, doing dumb crap like this is hurtful to them.

I believe in personal autonomy, so yes, legally you should be able to do it. But it 99% is a shitty thing to do, to yourself and other people. It's dumb and should be discouraged.
I'd be hard-pressed to ever find such a person. The ones you're thinking of didn't stay together for the sake of the kids, they stayed together for some other reason... that's just the excuse they used. Maybe they did it to avoid the scorn of their own parents, or the shame of it (mostly gone in the late 20th century but still found in tiny little pockets, Catholic communities, etc.).

People who were doing it for the sake of the children wouldn't admit it to anyone, for fear that their children might overhear whispered gossip, thus defeating the whole purpose.
I think this is true for most specs that are sufficiently old and sufficiently complex: there will be some parts that were specified, but never widely used, some parts that were once used, but are not relevant anymore, etc. etc. For an onlooker, these curiosities might seem fascinating. If you are setting out to implement the spec and don't have an infinite amount of time however, the multitude of corner cases, some important, some not (sometimes without an obvious way of distinguishing between the two) will get on your nerves pretty quickly...

That is true, and the term could reasonably be interpreted that way, but it’s often a motte-and-bailey tactic. When the term is criticized, your definition is waved, forming an easily defensible motte. But in casual use, the term is very commonly used in its most obvious meaning, i.e. “men are toxic” (forming the bailey).

> Your argument seems like arguing that there should be no local access permissions on files and just let the network handle everything.

Quite the contrary. Your local files are given to you by your local device. It's up to your local device to ensure that those files are properly access controlled.

But things on your network are given to you by your network. It should be up to your network to ensure that those things are properly access controlled. It should be up to you to ensure that you don't connect to networks which don't have proper access control.

> school, at least in my region, requires devices directly since 4th grade

If school requires things then school should provide things.

Ask HN: Who’s Working on the “HTML” for VR?
I’m not talking about a canvas tag with some WebXR/WebGPU/WebGL. I’m talking about VR having it’s ‘world-wide web’ moment instead of headsets being expensive, digital walled gardens. Seems to me that VR headsets have eaten themselves already. For example, A common criticism of Apple Vision Pro is “What problem does this solve? What is the killer app?”. Before the world-wide web, I believe the home personal computer was primarily used for games, similar to VR right now.

Actual HTML is a poor fit for this solution. Our ‘document’ metaphor doesn’t really translate so well to virtual space unless we’re doing work designed for the space (like spreadsheets or code). In such a case, floating windows may be appropriate to replace modern desktops. Otherwise, I think we need a protocol and language of some kind to serve and describe virtual space, either from the headsets or larger infrastructure.

Is anyone working something like this?

He is "attacked" because he started attacking communities that weren’t buying his views that men are oppressed. He started attacking feminists, then women in general, then anyone who doesn’t share his angry views, calling them "woke".

His tone has become more and more aggressive, now he’s just a shadow of himself, drowning in hatred and paranoia. That’s sad because 10 years ago he sounded like a reasonable guy with sane advices. He was saying stuff like "the battle between his and evil starts in oneself. We all are capable of the worst and we must fight it inside ourselves." Now he just considers he’s 100% good, right on everything, he’s oppressed and his "attackers" are evil. What a letdown.

In the skeptical community, they typically put people like Rush on a spectrum (it's almost never a simple binary) between grifter and true believer. Perhaps the reason that so much ink has been used to study Elizabeth Holmes is that she's almost impossible to figure out within that spectrum.

But Rush seems to lean heavily towards true believer. If he wanted to scam people, he could have found much more remunerative ways to do it, and he certainly wouldn't have piloted the sub himself.
