As much as we are all about laissez-faire when it comes to dating and romance - I think we’re getting to a point that might cause some real strife in the western world. Seeing 60%+ of young men be single when only 30% of young women are single - it’s… worrying.

There’s no simple solution when we’ve become such an atomized society and so hyper individualistic. It’s a problem that we rarely care about as well. As soon as someone is no longer alone, they no longer care about this problem that society is going through. As long as the majority of people are getting together (even if it’s a slim majority), nothing will be done.

I think the fall of romantic relationships is a contributor to society becoming more individualistic. I’m not worried about birth rates like everyone else. I’m worried about our happiness.

Being single and alone and without any intimacy is a very unenjoyable existence for most people - and I don’t think there’s ever going to be a cure for it other than to be with someone who loves you.
Have to agree... Although my version was Delphi + DevExpress components.

It was exactly like you describe it: drag components onto a window, arrange neatly, click and set data binding and properties, double click to add some code, voila - done - a crazy rich, quick, offline or online app, doing anything you ever wanted - real estate database UI, hotel management, custom spreadsheets, radio station playlists...

As much as I love web development, it definitely never came close to that level of productivity, simplicity and effectiveness.

You can get by using the agnostic names for the functions, because the windows header files will handle the conversions for you.

For example, inside the WinUser.h header you'll find this MessageBox definition:

#ifdef UNICODE
#define MessageBox MessageBoxW
#else
#define MessageBox MessageBoxA
#endif // !UNICODE

These agnostic definitions help if you want the code to compile as both 32 bit and 64 bit without code changes.

i'm with you on the first two lines but the idea that a certain class of person is no longer welcome at _stores_ is pretty wild

Using billing contacts for this is a mess. The billing contact could be an accounts payable department that will check the invoice against the contract or PO and pay it. It could be an outsourced office that has no idea what a database is. It could be someone who only catches up on email once every few weeks.

What is isn’t in a technical contact who knows what the shutdown of a database means.

They’re used for:

- lab equipment since they’re extremely non reactive

- semiconductor manufacturing for the same reason as above

- coatings inside engines/hot, high wear areas, far prolonging their lives

- rubber seals preventing chemical leaks (oil, gas, antifreeze, etc)

… the list goes on. Yeah they’re a non stick coating for pans but they’re also used in an incredible number of other places.

As a serious answer there is no local shoe store here, nor a clothes store either - there are a couple of local saddle makers and general leather workers that can repair shoes and a few makers of high quality socks.

If I travel to the next town, they have a couple of bland shoe shops that sell generic shoes, a few outfitters that have various work boots.

There's a capital city 100 km away that has almost every type of shoe you might want, sold across a multitude of stores, with the exception of exclusive high end brands that might require travelling to London, Milan, Paris, etc to source in person .. perhaps they deign to mail such goods now (that seems unlikely).
Lead is naturally in tons of rocks. It's in a ton of other industrial processes, and it's still the most common material for sewer mains - most are reinforced with resin by now, but shifts can still cause major cracks that will let lead in.

There's still a ton of real uses for lead - we'd probably be better off if our electronics were still full of it, because they'd last longer.
I bet Seneca could have beaten up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

You could look at the architecture manuals, such as:

https://www.amd.com/en/support/tech-docs/amd64-architecture-...

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2023-06/

There seem to be some instruction set summaries on the web too like:

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/qrc0001/m

https://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~kwebb/cs31/resources/ARM64_Ch...

https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse469/18wi/Materi...

https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/

That last one seems like a real gem for intel/x86.

These architectures might have a few more instructions than RISC-V though, and the encoding (especially amd64) may be more complicated.
Humans are special and can create new copyrights. The process of a human brain synthesizing stuff does act as a barrier to copyright infringement.

Machines and algorithms are not legally recognized as being able to author original non-derivative works.

> put a human in the place of the LLM

But also, no, if you have a team of humans doing rote matrix multiplication instead of an LLM, that does not make it so the matrix multiplication removes copyright. Also, at this point LLMs require so much math that you can't replace them with humans, even if the humans have quite fast fingers and calculators.
Perfluorinated chemistry is very nasty and not benign at all.

The issue is not teflon, or similar plastics, but byproducts and precursors of their manufacture.
They're chemically super-stable (since, like teflon, they are perflorinated) and super unreactive. That means that they persist for a very long time (until enough UV deteriorates them).

However unreactive doesnt mean harmless. Sure, they have very low acute toxicity, but they still take up volume. Therefore, they interfere with the chemical reaction rates and pathways in your body.

Its called steric interference, which is a fancy way of saying "something is in the way". Think of a very busy line kitchen and some guy is randomly and blindly walking into things and people.
Yes, see sibling comment.

> Until recently, Windows has emphasized "Unicode" -W variants over -A APIs. However, recent releases have used the ANSI code page and -A APIs as a means to introduce UTF-8 support to apps. If the ANSI code page is configured for UTF-8, then -A APIs typically operate in UTF-8. This model has the benefit of supporting existing code built with -A APIs without any code changes.
I'm happy to see things done right in the form of mainlining the necessary parts, but that takes _years_. Users shouldn't have to suffer with known security issues that have fixes readily available.

I've used this tool to support many dozens of end-of-life devices working well over the past six years, and it is even purpose-built for these Android/Qualcomm downstream kernels.

Your mention of satellite value gives me a thought: If spacex had to pay for the launch of 1 telescope for every 20 batches of starlink, how much use would that have compared to their interference?

> Just last week there was a front page HN article about how satellites may replace undersea cables for niche use cases.

They won't, that article was stupid.

Edit: Or, well, you added "niche" and the article very much didn't. It's true that a tiny fraction of data might use satellites instead, but there's going to be no meaningful "replacement".

I was hoping the article would compare how writing code and writing a fantasy, sci-fi, etc. novel are very similar. I find writing stories to be a better analogy to use with programming than civil engineering or architecture.

Its very easy for another engineer/architect to look at some building plans and make an addition to the structure. Now compare that to how easy it is for a different writer to finish the work of another. The second is a lot more difficult to do. This is probably the reason why rewriting is always the default choice when a new group takes over a code-base.

The big difference is that in programming you have instant feedback when something is inconsistent in the story (compilers/interpreters). Writers have that too, they are called fans but they're not as reliable and not every writer gets that luxury.
I've seen better communications around company-internal services that have been deprecated and for which a replacement exists that we need to migrate to. Heck, I've seen this a couple of times.

We had even tried out Influx a few different times. It was always ok, but never quite good enough. Now with this, I think, this seals the deal on me ever considering Influx either as a product or as a service.
Perhaps you are on hardware that does that not have this issue, but I had really bad screen tearing with an Intel iGPU running X11.
> > No and no

> present facts

That’s not how this works, anywhere: the burden of proof, of presenting facts, is on those who say “yes”.

In the former case, we have only appeal to authority (some book says) and to personal belief, neither of which are facts. In the latter case, we have a proven medical fraud committed by a person with financial interest in rival treatments, said person having lost their medical license as a result of said fraud.

It's in early PoC dev stage, code is mess, will release later.
not sure i agree with your conclusion since LLMs can easily avoid mentioning the page even if they knew it. Though id also guess that the llm didnt ingest page numbers and just ingested books raw? Anyway i tried it.

How do VCs gain some much influence? Can't founders just ignore them since they have a minority stake?
Oh, I'm not requiring an upfront payment. This is probably causing a misunderstanding on the page.

You're right, maybe it's a good idea to remove them right now.

Thanks for the feedback!
And look at how bloated our development environment is today. Bunch of extensions, themes and language servers. It may sounds oxymoronic since I'm a Zoomer, but I don't want these eye candies and too much nice-to-haves, and I just want to write programs effectively without attractions, while I want to dev environment to be lightweight as well.
> But so have fire, the wheel, and the automobile

Not sure what harm you attribute to the wheel, but the harms of fire and combustion engines are currently world-class problems, such as the climate. Very much "if we knew then what we know now" situations, and with PFAS and the like, we have the opportunity to act before it becomes an issue.
How do VCs gain so much influence? Can't founders just ignore them because they have a minority stake?
In the 1990's we had Netscape with SSL and Microsoft with PCT. We (the world) really didn't need two protocols to do the same thing. So, we (the IETF) got the Microsoft folks and the Netscape folks to work together to come up with a merged protocol. This resulted in the birth of Transport Layer Security, aka TLS, which is what we use in browsers today...
Pretty sure that was the one!
If it couldn't be merged as-is that is completely understandable, but why close it then? Why not say "can you tame this back?" instead the response was "this will break things and maybe you added malware".
Well, to become an expert in any topic, humans have to go to university and read textbooks as a part of the course. Do these humans owe anything to the authors, other than the purchase price of the books? Why should it be any different for AI LLMs/reasoning engines?
It’s important to note that only some copyrighted works can be accessed for free using the legal options, I’m a member of probably a dozen overdrive supporting libraries and still frequently find titles unavailable for loan of any kind.

I’d love to see an analysis of what % of books are available via libraries around the globe.

Also, the whole DRM thing is a massive pain, audiobooks especially are terrible at allowing side-loading onto a consumer friendly device (such as an MP3 player).
Don't want to sound overly negative, but the while article is just rehearsing a bunch of platitude about writing...

Okay, so you used a tool to duplicate a copyrighted work. You could do the same thing with a word processor. YOU are obviously the one who violated copyright by using the tool that way. I don't understand how a reasonable person could have a different interpretation.
True. Too late to edit. Yeah that is confusing, guess I gotta write differently when discussing that. I just shave characters for character counts, which are often a problem particularly on Twitter. It's not because I don't like typing out the whole word, I generally refrain from that sort of abbreviation. It is also stylistically unique--I use a unique style for the same reason as, and vindicating, Auguste Rodin who faced problems due to his statues being too literal.
I must have sat through a dozen of talks about how double push-out rewriting theory is going to revolutionize mathematical biology/linguistics/etc. I can give firsthand evidence that it’s not limited to funding proposals.

And there is a long tradition of category theory being applied to CS theory in PL semantics and type theory. It’s really not a new idea.
Things like sports statistics and directories of phone numbers are not copyrightable. Maybe models fall into a similar category. Could be. It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out over the next few years.

It's probably actually about the opportunity to upsell. A single upsell on a MacBook to the next better specs pays for enough apple store employee time to make up for everything.
I’d more ask what the cost vs benefits are of keeping the existing scheme, it’s not free to run all these DRM services, prosecute offenders etc…

Not to say I support no copyright…
Replace "answer questions about contract law, based solely on what I learned from the book" with "generate cartoon images, based solely on what ML learned from Disney IP" and see how badly that will go.
I hope you realize you are describing dial-up internet? I could see having an automated dialer integrated with the OS do a decent job of masking the set up and tear down time of the connections, but it would have even slower data rates than the days of landlines, because cellular audio quality is much, much, much worse. And more importantly the jitter is significantly worse. Even sending faxes over cellular, or even wired VoIP fails regularly and that is an even slower data rate than would be acceptable for dial-up internet.

Also I haven’t looked it up but I assume the battery life of the pine phone while on a phone call is at most a few hours, compared to days for an active LTE connection.

It’s a funny thought experiment though.
One of my gripes about k12 is how english was seen as the opposite of Math/Science.

When in reality these are all intertwined. Logic necessarily uses words. Science might make some equations, but the scientific method is going to use words.

Instead english spent soooo much time on fiction. It really hurt my interest since I was often a contrarian when it came to fiction and my teachers hated it. I thought I was bad at English, turns out teachers didn't like me.

The first time I figured out I was good at English was when my wife, a 4.0 student read a college English paper for me and she was shocked she said "YOU ARE GOOD AT EVERYTHING".

I don't think I was actually that good, I struggle so much writing professional/scientific papers, my readers apparently agree because I'm quite limited in my reach. Meanwhile I see others write juicy content.

Maybe I have a problem with clickbait/marketing/copywriting.
Most applications, even industrial, that need perfluorinated plastics have more expensive alternatives. Some industries really dont have alternatives.

How about we get rid of nonstick pans, gore Tex jackets and significantly reduce fluorine chemisty?
My summary: Linda Sapadin in “How to Beat Procrastination in the Digital Age" says:

- defeatedness/lack of faith in success leads to avoidance, but this comes from different places

- "defiers" drown in others' expectations, leading to pessimism. They need ways to feel in control and act (not react). Talking about what's (not) working with stakeholders helps, though defiers tend to feel unable to.

- "dreamers" need coherent plans with timelines left they merely wait for fate. To take control of vague dreams and make goals, they should ask: the 5 wh's and how. (N.b. Why, how, what in this order are very useful. Apparently this now goes by the Golden Circle model for leadership.)

- perfectionists think everything takes too much effort, because you need impossibly much effort to reach perfection. Magically dealing with that would then solve procrastination - but no suggests are forthcoming.

- just visualize completing a task to make doing it seem feasible. IF you believe you can do it, you will.

An app to create custom control interface for Raspberry Pi, sounds interesting?
Good evening fellow electronic enthusiasts,
I'm working on an app to allow people to create a custom control interface to control Raspberry Pi components.
I was hoping to see if there's enough interest in this concept.
Based on your first impression, how useful and/or interesting does this seem to you?
Do you think this is interesting (cool, but not useful) or useful for any use cases?
I appreciate the feedback a whole lot, thank you!
Most forever pollutants have greater concentrations as you go up the food chain. The grass has 1ppm, the cow eats 100x it's body weight over its lifetime, and cannot eliminate the pollutant so it gets up to 100ppm. Add in a few more levels and it can really ratchet up the dosage.
I also feel like it's difficult to discuss on boards like this one the uncertainty in studies and meta studies, such as the linked meta study.

Your impression from the linked study should be that there is a large amount of uncertainty, not that there is a clear-cut link.
