TL;DR if we keep the direct environment of our child clean and limit distractions she's calm, and focused. If we don't she gets whiny and somewhat unbearable.

I'm raising a child right now and it's pretty simple to observe a few simple patterns:

1. if there is stuff in her visible range during any activity that is even mildly interesting she wants it and it distracts from any activity. be it her own scooter, or her own toys lying around. denying her access to it makes her upset.

2. if there is any food in her visible range, cookies, fruits, anything, while eating dinner, she wants it and it makes feeding harder. denying access to it will make her upset and scream.

3. if there is a screen of any sort or a bright light on she will stare at it. denying her access to it makes her upset unless I turn it off and put my devices away.

4. We don't have a TV so she enjoys books a lot and we have improved our eating habits which makes it A LOT easier to feed her the same her healthy food.

5. Grand parents think they should bring a bunch of gifts every time they visit meaning our place is filled with junk, infinite amounts of clothes and they get upset when they don't get to gift it much like the kids that receive them.

What I'm trying to say it that even taking away all the digital distractions, a lot of these simple things are things I and many people around me did not have in abundance as a child.

It's not just because the digital stuff that attention spans decline. It's because EVERYTHING is noisy. Even the children books and toys are flashy and noisy.

It's not like you wake up one day and have attention or not, it's something that is learned over long periods of time.

How is any one supposed to grow up learning focus with all that junk around? I think a lot of these things are designed to get attention from children. The toy, book, and even children clothing manufacturers compete with each other on attention, ultimately I would argue with the goal of making the biggest profits.
Ironically, the biggest potential impediment to this is Apple. It is the fact that iOS is a walled garden where the website owner can’t just say “Install Chrome and come back” unless they want to lose a lot of potential users.

I was going to write the same thing you did. I've been diagnosed with ADHD and while it is a disadvantage for certain things (I've lost quite a bit of money due to invoices not being sent on time to clients as a contractor, fines for not submitting tax on time, etc...), it's also been hugely beneficial in other areas.

When I was in university, I quickly realized that I had a hard time paying attention to lectures but that I would be passionate about reading the reference books on the various subjects. So I skipped a lot of classes (it was a French engineering school, attendance is not mandatory if your grades are good) and I read all the relevant textbooks. I was studying CS so I was passionate and very interested in what I was reading so I could easily hyperfocus on those books and did very well. On the other hand, if I had been forced to attend lectures instead, I would have not done nearly as well.

In my work life, I've been the go to person who solves the hard problems because when I find an interesting problem to work on, I can completely focus on it until I solve it. On the other hand, I have a very hard time dealing with boring repetitive tasks but that's why an effective manager makes sure each people play to their strength.

So I do take issue with this statement "As someone with diagnosed ADHD, I think this misrepresents ADHD. There's no form of society in which ADHD is an advantage; " and "ADHD is a disability, not a difference of ability". On the contrary, ADHD IS a difference of ability and effectively managing ADHD means finding ways to adapt your life and work life to take advantage of the good sides of ADHD and find workarounds around the problematic aspects of it.

I'm honestly not sure if I'd have been as successful without ADHD, I would have lost less money for sure but maybe wouldn't have earned as much as I did. It would have been less stressful though for the first 36 years before I got diagnosed when I didn't understand why I couldn't just do certain tasks.
How does that relate to the article? It seems like a completely different subject to me, but maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

> there’s been a cultural shift in the liberal establishment over the years away from protecting speech, even hateful speech to actively espousing and advocating for censorship

The shift is to protecting the rights of people oppressed by hate speech, in the balance between its speakers and victims. It's based on the idea that the politically vulnerable have their rights - including their free speech - abridged by hate speech. It says hate speech censors the politically vulnerable, so at some points, we must censor one or the other.

It's tricky, but portraying it as 'anti-free-speech' is like portraying 'pro-life' advocates as 'anti-personal-rights'. If we're honest then it's not that simple, whatever one's perspective.

> giving websites a way to maintain anti-abuse protections for their sites without resorting to invasive fingerprinting.

What prevents a website from using invasive fingerprinting _AND_ WEI together? I strongly suspect websites will end up using both WEI and invasive fingerprinting because:

1. Websites will want to use invasive fingerprinting on old browsers and it would work within browsers that deliberately don't implement WEI.

2. Websites will want to get as much invasive fingerprinting information as they can get their hands on.

3. It is another layer of fingerprinting in the likely event that WEI is ineffective due to TPM exploits[1], operating system/driver exploits, web browser exploits, determined actors using rooms of computer display recording devices and robotic arm mouse movers, etc. Invasive fingerprinting further increases the cost and complexity to actors the website is trying to block.

> This is not DRM - WEI does not lock down content

It is absolutely 100% DRM. Your proposal states that devices would need to attest their configuration to the website. The website can then block the user because it doesn't want to show the news article to a Linux device where the user can block annoying pop-up ad videos, copy and paste the text or save the web page. The website can instead only allow devices which are factory-configured to block copy+paste, block saving web pages, block screenshots, etc. It's still DRM even with the proposed holdback mechanism because in the best case, a user will still be blocked 9/10 times (or whatever the holdback mechanism is set to). The more likely scenario is a website owner will just refuse to serve content until the client has attested itself. "The requested page can not be provided due to an unexpected problem. Try again in a few minutes."

There are so many flaws with the scheme as currently proposed I feel I could write for days:

Will websites be expected to block and ban users of AMD-SP now that it is broken[1]? Or will whoever conducts ad fraud just buy all the AMD-SP devices they can get their hands on?

As another author replied, are Gentoo users that compile their web browsers and operating systems from scratch just ignored, and the proposal pretends it won't impact these users?

How does the proposal allow users with specialist accessibility software to browse the web without being blocked for being a minority group that is not economically worth website owner's time to support? What prevents abuse of said specialist accessibility software for other purposes?

How would a new start-up developing a competing browser or phone from scratch, and are very much unknown and in a minority position, be able to convince millions of website owners to unblock/allow their new browser or phone? Cloudflare's Friendly Bots program refuses to respond to open source projects, so why would Cloudflare as an implementer of WEI care about new start-ups or small open source software projects?

> what i meant to say is that i don't believe a need to overcome distractions makes you a more attentive driver. in my opinion it's better to have less (car operating complexity) to worry about, because then you can - or at least could - focus on the road better

Whether you could matters a lot less than whether you would. As an extreme, your logic would suggest that the "dead man's switch" used on trains would make them less safe.

> and i have driven manually shifting cars all my life with very few exceptions

So if you yourself do the thing you're claiming is less safe, do you actually believe what you're claiming?
SpaceX's mission is to spread humanity to the planets.

Fisker failed due to its major investor (DOE) halting future financing, and then being hit with the loss of a large number of vehicles in Hurrican Katrina. Up until then they were following a similar startup arc (with the same sorts of problems) as Tesla had in their first few years. [0]

With PayPal, Musk was insistent that the venture proceed as X.com (despite brand testing showing that people were likely to associate it with porn), but was overruled. He was also opposed to the sale to eBay, which actually catapulted PayPal in terms of growth, and embedded it as a "must have" for e-commerce. [1] [2]

> The "right" answer is to go with a shorter-term, variable rate, because on average you'll pay less interest than longer-term/fixed rates.

My 30 year fixed-rate mortgage at 2.6% begs to differ ;) Yes, I had lucky timing; I was able to refinance right at the start of 2022 when rates were pretty much at their lowest.

But overall, I think your assertion isn't correct. It really just depends on conditions. If rates are in general very low, you probably want that fixed-rate mortgage, even if the variable one is -- at least for now -- a little bit lower. In the US, most people get 30-year mortgages, and it's pretty much impossible to predict what rates will be like in 10, 15, 20, 25 years.

If rates are higher, and you believe the reason for that is temporary (like the inflation reduction measures going on now), a variable-rate mortgage is probably a good gamble. If rates drop, you can always refinance (either into another variable-rate mortgage, or to a fixed rate).

Honestly, the 7% now on a 30-year-fixed isn't that bad, historically. It just feels bad because we had such low rates in recent years.
Isn’t it the same reason why the poorer applicants have a better chance at getting in than the middle applicants? They have more interesting stories to tell on their essay.

The flight attendants know that the pilot is not going to intentionally let the plane run out of fuel and will land before that happens, even if means declaring an emergency and diverting to any available airfield.
3rd para specifically addresses that.

I agree that $44B is an unlikely amount to spend on simply destroying it. But (a) he didn't put up nearly that much cash himself, and (b) what if the net cost was much less?

The whole farce of trying to get out of the contract depressed the stock, because everyone was thinking "he doesn't seem to have a legal leg to stand on, but does he know something we don't". It was intimidating to people who should've known better. And then he just folded and onlookers were confused.

If he had bought stock options on TWTR, it's allegedly not insider trading to trade on your own intentions, so people say. Or, buddies of his who are outside SEC jurisdiction could've done it.

How many times has he said he hates and disrespects the SEC? It all seems eminently in character to me.

But as I wrote in my first comment, I'm feeling now more like it's a 50-50 coin flip between having a master plan to destroy Twitter and really being the feckless, manic owner he appears to be.
It's funny, the Ivies are actually quite up front that they're goal is to pick "future leaders" of the country, not the most academically gifted students (though this is an important sub-group). The fact that there's a quota of students who are chosen for purely academic talents is particularly telling.

If you have enough drive to get good grades and your parents are worth many millions of dollars you have an excellent chance of being one of society's future leaders, you're they're perfect candidate.

I don't really recognize the interface as shown in these videos. The Amiga connection and the hardware board were long gone by the time we all saw this software. But I think the connection was real, wouldove to know more about how this developed over time.
If the author just proposed his new function neo_max() and quoted The Architect from The Matrix everyone here would be enjoying the April Fools Day joke for 2024…

“ Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.”

Hence ergo - you are a NaN. A divide-by-zero.

Safari is just Apples Opera (before they went Blink and made themselves irrelevant).

They aren't great, just another proprietary browser. Every time I've used it has been sub-par. It reminded me a lot of Opera in that it was very opinionated, even if it tried to offer some feature. Apple makes money off of apps, not websites, though, so it makes sense they don't invest much into their browser.

> lives weren't upended

Musk paid billions too much for Twitter. So at least a few of those real people you're worried about, are now very rich.

Companies have layoffs. Are you saying the thousands of layoffs at Meta, or any other tech businesses in recent times, are "good layoffs", but Twitter layoffs were "bad layoffs"? I don't understand your position here. You seem to have an emotional response about the welfare of tech sector people you don't know.

If you have Twitter on your resume, I'd expect it would open a few doors when job hunting. Your concern for their welfare is odd to say the least.

Google is set to go on trial in 2024 with the FTC. We'll see how that goes. I don't have high hopes, primarily due to how difficult it is to expect larger reach by adhering to past laws that are quite lenient. At most I can see AdX being negatively affected, but that wouldn't result in the substantial change most want here and would just allow another like Apple to step in and repeat what Google has done.

From what I understand, the arguments about self-preferencing kind of always get thrown out due to a more strict interpretation of the law. Did with Apple, and with Facebook when they were acquiring Instagram and Whatsapp.

Yeah, Apple was toast after they did that. Their share price in 2014 when they did that was $24, and immediately afterwards it rose to $33 over the next 12 months. And since then, it's just been one long slow decline to almost $200 a share, as their global mobile market share has gone from the 24% it enjoyed in 2014 to the measly 29% it enjoys today.

> Statistically, we expect that averaged vector to be close to zero.

I'm not sure that's the case, especially in high dimensions.

The expected value of the absolute value n random variables, uniform [-1,1], grows with n. I'm pretty sure it's proportional to the sqrt of n.

Also, random walks in high dimension return to zero with probability zero, so the sum of random variables in high dimensions going close to zero seems unlikely as well.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true, and for many of us its truth is prima facie because it’s true of both our own usage and the people we work with and talk to.
