I'd not be so quick to judge - some parents worry if their kids use a device for 30 mins, some for an hour, some all day - so the fact they are considering scaling back doesn't really tell us much about their child's usage.

On a flip side - some children with autism that I know are greatly calmed by playing mobile and tablet games, and find books/games/tv/films uninteresting/confusing - so playing a video game is their release - limiting it too much would be negative in my opinion - as they aren't able to engage in a lot else at times.
`bfs` doesn't actually use io_uring yet, but it is planned. I'm not sure I'd say it's specifically optimized for finding multiple files at once either, I try to make it fast for many different use cases. There's two benchmarks in the blog post and a few more that I run regularly, e.g. https://github.com/tavianator/bfs/pull/107
I hear you about the Expanse. The books are a blast and I'm hoping Amazon finishes the series because they are good adaptations. My dream series to watch (are you reading this HBO?) would be set in the Dune universe, with Denis Villeneuve doing prequel series covering the creation of the Bene Gesserit, discovery of Ecaz, etc.

> Los Angeles is spending millions to house people in hotels. Spending that much tax money can't continue forever

Los Angeles has a budget of $43 Billion. Their current budget for homelessness is $1.3 billion. Typically the cost to have people on the streets is significantly higher than simply housing them due to Law Enforcement and Emergency medical costs alone. Los Angeles can certainly afford to house them for as long as necessary. In fact it can't afford NOT to.

Have you considered flat pricing for lifetime access? You can easily calculate the likely value a subscriber is going to provide over lifetime with discounted cashflows. Then you can ask for that money upfront. Do you think that will be a differentiator?
Tachyons is feature complete for most people's/project's needs. It doesn't need to be updated. Every day we all use code that was last updated 10+ years ago without realising it.

Having said that we switched to Tailwind for a very specific reason: customisability. see: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tailwind#what-about-tachyons

Still Tachyons is a perfectly valid and lightweight utility class based CSS library.

They can be more readable than that at least, e.g.:

keys = "name", "shares", "price"
portfolio = [
dict(zip(keys, row))
for row in rows
]

If I had to do more complex stuff than building a dict like this I'd move it into a function. That tends to make the purpose more clear anyway.

That said, it's fine to append to a list too, I just prefer comprehensions when they fit the job. In particular, if you're just going to iterate once over this list anyway, you can turn it into a iterator comprehension by replacing [] by () and save some memory.
> The customers will get their property back, just not immediately.

"Just not immediately" is a big fucking deal for people in Amsterdam who use their bicycles as their primary means of transportation. Imagine you lived in Phoenix right now and the same thing happened with your car. You dropped off your Rivian or Lucid for repairs and -- surprise! -- they were actually on the brink of bankruptcy, so now the only way for you to get to work, pick up kids, etc. is to try walking, biking, or busing for miles in 110F+ degree heat until the courts figure out how to get your vehicle back to you.

If I depended on my bike for transportation -- as is the case for many people in Amsterdam -- then holding onto my bike for more than a few days for a repair is effective theft of my primary means of transportation. If the mechanic tells me they can swap out a part in a couple of days and needs to keep the bike for that, no big deal. The milk in my fridge won't spoil in that time, and I can WFH for a couple of days. Maybe take a while longer to get to and from daycare by walking and busing.

But if my bike becomes unavailable for much longer than that, at that point I would be forced to treat it exactly like a theft and purchase a replacement so I can travel the way I need to again. I still need to buy groceries and get to the office in a reasonable amount of time, and I don't have weeks or months to wait until the courts/lawyers can finally figure out WTF is going on with the property locked in the stores. Sure, chances are I'll eventually get my means of transportation back, but by then it will be too late, since I will have been forced to replace it by then.

It's de facto theft.

I didn't get diagnosed with sensory processing disorder, but I did get diagnosed with Autism at a young age and have sensory issues. For example, I was a very picky eater, didn't like wearing socks or shoes, clothes with tags or graphics on them were very irritating for me to feel. My parents didn't really limit my screen time. They had given up on trying to make me eat different foods. I mostly just ate chicken nuggets and frozen pizzas. I didn't go to any sort of special school, I just went through an average public school. I can give some advice from that perspective.

I didn't really start expanding my diet until my 20s. It's hard to describe the sensory issues to others but how I would describe it is that even though I know something is food, my brain has trouble processing it and I'll end up having a gag reflex to trying many foods. What I'd suggest and what I ended up doing to expand my diet is finding safe foods, and then trying to find ways to add new foods to it, slowly expanding what is considered a safe food. For example, I ate pepperoni pizza and to help myself expand, I started adding different toppings to parts of the pizza, that way I could try something new but still have plenty of a safe food to eat if I end up being unable to get it down with the new food.

Small incremental exposure to the things that trigger negative reactions can help reduce those reactions and get them more use to it. I did the same for social situations, pushing myself to do things I'm uncomfortable with, like taking a speech class in community college, trying out to be in a play, and joining school clubs about topics I'm interested in.

In addition to this, don't be too hard on yourself about the situation. There is only so much you can do and a lot of it is out of your control. Even though my parents weren't too involved, I was lucky and turned out alright. All that extra screen time lead to me going into software engineering. I've been able to work my way up to being an engineering manager.

Yes, reduce screen time to zero.

> Can the rest of a Kangaroo be used in some productive way? I'd honestly feel ethically bad that we are killing Kangaroos just for their muscle tendon in certain areas

From the article:

> It was important to Dr Hartnell that no kangaroos were killed expressly for his research, and this has remained his practice throughout his investigations: all of the work has been done only using kangaroos that have either been culled for reasons of population control or harvested for meat.

Kangaroo populations are fine; culling is done to keep them from overpopulating. Similar to deer in the US.

I wouldn't blame the static type system; this is more of a language design decision of its own. IMO, F# does it this way because ML did it this way. I think it's more of a cultural norm than a technical decision. There is a certain theoretical purity to requiring ordered declarations across a whole project.

It's valuable to compare F# against C++ here. F# and C++ both require ordered declarations within a file (while C# and Java do not), but F# requires the files themselves to be ordered, too, while C++ does not. Both are statically typed languages. C++ avoids requiring a file-level order by defining file-level compilation units and a system for importing and exporting symbols between compilation units to allow each file to be processed separately with the imports/exports resolved during a final linking phase. There's complexity involved in accomplishing this. F# has not done it; an F# project is the same as concatenating all of the source files together, and thus declarations must be ordered across files just like they are within a file.

> Debian Jessie is terribly out of date and hasn't seen regular security updates for five years now, from https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/:

Nowadays you get 10 years of support if you make use of the Freexian project.

Even the page you linked mentions that:

> Jessie also had benefited from Long Term Support (LTS) until the end of June 2020.

And then you can use the ELTS support, which goes up until 2025:
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended

So yes, users should not be running such old releases, but there's still support. And even though Freeexian's support is not officially affiliated with Debian, it's done by Debian Developers.

If you want to run this SteamOS release, you should consider pointing to Freexian's repo for security updates.
From my reading you can use any valid non-ascii character for the initial one too:

nmstart [_a-z]|{nonascii}|{escape}
nonascii [^\0-\177]
unicode \\[0-9a-f]{1,6}(\r\n|[ \n\r\t\f])?
escape {unicode}|\\[^\n\r\f0-9a-f]
nmchar [_a-z0-9-]|{nonascii}|{escape}

(nmstart being the key definition for this point)
My main issue with ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 is when outputting in German it's too polite and grovelling, asking to write something terse and assertive it'll still insert a compliment or use a submissively formulation. Letter writing in German is akin to playing golf in a minefield, you only communicate the information which is necessary.

> I need shelter if I am to contribute to society. It should be free!

You do need shelter, and those without housing should be provided somewhere to live. If you'd like to live somewhere nicer/bigger, then you can pay for that, but in a just society I don't see why there should be people starving on the streets. Economically, there are multiple studies that show providing housing to the homeless is at least net-neutral, and results in quite positive outcomes for participants [1,2,3]. Although the research is still in early stages and not deployed on a large scale, I think it at least illustrates the point that giving people who need it housing is not the straw-man that your comment implies it to be.

> My own healthcare is extremely valuable to me and I should be allowed to spend money on that. Someone else may decide they'd rather have a new pair of sneakers. Who am I to say they're wrong, that they are not permitted to allocate their capital in this way?

Sure, for some procedures, it may be viable to shop around or neglect them entirely. But for basic or emergency healthcare, there really isn't an open market. I don't think anyone would choose to "allocate their capital" to a new pair of sneakers when they're bleeding out in the street. For many people, even routine healthcare procedures are out of their financial reach, or at least or prohibitively expensive. Frankly, attempting to compare medical procedures to common goods is not really a fair comparison at all.

They do, there is an L4 to at least L7 track as an IC in BigTech and even on the corporate dev side, you can job hop your way from $80K to $170K in most major cities in the US within 8 years of starting your career.

> It's also like your above post about L6s doing multiple L5s worth of work

I didn’t mean to imply that an L6 is doing the same type of work, as a purposeful L5 I likes being able to deep dive on one “work stream” from requirements, to implementation to handover.

An L6 wouldn’t be putting in more hours they would be coordinating the work of multiple L5s. They aren’t doing more work, they are doing different work. Their contribution is valuable. But someone has to be in the trenches doing the work.
As the other comment mentioned GDP per capita includes non-wage things like imputed rents and business profits so wages are not supposed to be equal to GDP per capita. You absolutely can use the difference between them to measure how much money goes to capital instead of labour.
No, it doesn't. It has to do with making the world better.

> I'm also kind of shocked at the idea that language barriers cause greater barriers to reading a paper (91% time increase) than to writing one (51%) in a non-native language.

This actually makes sense to me. Reading a paper takes time on the scale of hours, and having to stop to parse difficult sentences or look up unfamiliar words can add to that substantially. Writing a paper takes time on the scale of weeks to months, and there's a lot that goes into it other than putting words down on paper. Making figures, figuring out how to argue a certain point, thinking about what examples to provide to best illustrate what you're trying to get across--these are big parts of the writing process that are more or less language agnostic in the sense that the time-intensive part can be carried out in the writer's native language and the result translated into English.

If I were to try to read a paper in my field in Russian (a language I have a decent but far from fluent grasp on, and I don't know the jargon of my field) I would expect it to take at least twice as long as reading it in English. Translating one of my papers into Russian would take a long time, but it would not double the total time spent on writing the paper.

Let's go back to the original comment that started this thread:

> Aren't quantum effects supposed to disappear in the macroscopic world? How is this explained?

The answer to this question is: yes, quantum effects generally disappear in the macroscopic world. There are some exceptions, like rainbows and transistors, but in general macroscopic phenomena can be completely explained by classical approximations to QM, notwithstanding that they are in fact quantum systems "under the hood". To be technically precise, in macroscopic phenomena, and in particular in thermalized systems (like the planet's climate) decoherence causes all of the interesting effects of QM (and specifically all of the non-local effects) to become unmeasurably small. In thermalized macroscopic systems, the classical approximation is 100% in agreement with observation, and so any suggestion that because some of the math of QM is applicable to climate that there might be a new physical phenomenon waiting to be discovered and that this phenomenon has something to do with quantum mechanics can be dismissed out of hand. Supporting such a claim would require a lot more than just some similar-looking equations.

But I didn't feel like getting quite so long-winded about it.
Build your own Serverless(part 3)
I don’t believe this is true. It’s possible I was blinded by the light, but my programming tasks were previously (during the early access program) being handled by GPT-4 regularly and now they aren’t. I’ve also seen many anecdotes from engineers who had exceptionally early access before GPT-4 was public knowledge.

The GPT-4 I use now feels like a shadow of the GPT-4 I used during the early access program. GPT-4, back then, ported dirbuster to POSIX compliant multi-threaded C by name only. It required three prompts, roughly:

* “port dirbuster to POSIX compliant c”

* “that’s great! You’re almost there, but wordlists are not prefixed with a /, you’ll need to add that yourself. Can you generate a diff updating the file with the fix?”

* “This is pretty slow, can we make it more aggressive at scanning?”

It helped me write a daemon for FreeBSD that accepted jails definitions as a declarative manifest and managed them in a diff-reconciliation loop kubernetes style. It implemented a binpacking algorithm to fit an arbitrary number of randomly sized images onto a single sheet of A1 paper.

Most programming tasks I threw at it, it could work its way through with a little guidance if it could fit in a prompt.

Now, it’s basically worthless at helping me with programming tasks beyond trivial problems.

Folks who had early access before it was public have commented on how exceptional it was back then. But also how terrifyingly unaligned it was. And the more they aligned the model with acceptable social behavior, the worse the model performed. Alignment goals like “don’t help people plan mass killings” seem to cause regressions in the models performance.

I wouldn’t dismiss these comments. If they’re true, it means there is a hyper intelligent early GPT-4 model sitting on a HDD somewhere that dwarfs what we’ve seen publicly. A poorly aligned model that’s down to help no matter what your request is.
I know the Azure Application Gateway is meant to be getting ipv6 support later this year, it is certainly the reason why my services are ipv4 currently.

I’d expect GitHub to have moved to Azure since the buyout.

That would be amazing. Maybe have some minimum requirement afterwards with knowledge though.
