There’s (rightly) a lot of focus on the impact of social media on teen mental health, and very little about how controlled, structured, and parent-dependent the average young persons’ life is today. Social media clearly plays a role, but you have to wonder if it’s a convenient scapegoat for parents who don’t want to face the impact their own anxieties and control are having over their kids lives.

Maybe it is the ideal, and I'm missing the point. :-)
The last thing China is going to do is close manufacturing plants.

Apple makes 10x more selling in the Chinese market than they do in the United Kingdom, even with all of the roadblocks and handicaps China erects. Further Apple realizes that as the UK is a Western, democratic nation it is easy to essentially bargain about policies. Apple's current threats are essentially negotiating. There would be no negotiating with China about stuff like this.

> It means an organisation that wants to hire a senior-heavy team can now do so. That wasn't realistic for most organisations a decade ago because there weren't enough seniors to go around.

There are 2 distinctions and that's what might be confusing. 1 is your experience/level and what you're referring to. The other is the roles an organization offers.

I might have 50 years of experience but if the other roles are taken by more qualified people in THAT organization I can take a normal engineer route. Doesn't have to be senior. It doesn't make myself not qualified to even be a CTO elsewhere.

The roles are fixed. It has to do with budget, balanced, etc. Having all seniors might mean fights and everyone wanting to contribute and pull the project in different directions. A good balance is needed. A senior heavy team might not be good just because you can.

The Turing Test is a deceptively simple method of determining whether a machine exhibits human-like intelligence: If a machine can engage in a conversation with a human in a manner indistinguishable from a human, it is considered to possess human intelligence.

The calculator was never subjected to the Turing test because it doesn’t communicate in the same language humans do, only the language of mathematics. On the other hand, LLMs generate human language. Its entire training process revolves around mimicking human language. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any surprise that it can “engage in a conversation with a human in a manner indistinguishable from a human”.

I wrote a very non-technical article about LLMs and how to think about them in general . Read it here: https://darveenvijayan.medium.com/large-language-models-a-ca...

When you feel unsafe it doesn’t always mean someone else is wrong. It can mean that, but it doesn’t have to. It may just be an artifact of your own emotional reaction.

That’s a nuance which is lost (deliberately sometimes) when the word unsafe or civil or similar are used. And unfortunately, that means these words are being used to censor, to shut down talk, and to control other people.

It’s paradoxical, because the language of safety becomes the instruments of abuse that they are (in such misuse) only pretending to be against. It’s really the interpersonal individual version of the “public safety! national security! Therefore, you need to give up your rights” manipulation of the public.

And paradoxically it’s actually abusive to the people who are invoking the “I feel unsafe” defense. Because when the nuance is lost (that it doesn’t always mean that somebody else is wrong) then the people invoking that “I feel unsafe” card are effectively surrendering their individual agency to be responsible for their own emotional reactions (and to process, investigate and understand their own emotional reactions), and by surrendering their agency and personal responsibility, they’re actually making themselves more vulnerable and more unsafe. Not to mention, abusing others in the process.

One way this abuse occurs, which is very common today, is incorrectly fake blaming other people for your own emotional reactions.

If anyone finds themselves in such situations and feel stuck or comfortable, I encourage you to move beyond vague terms, like ‘unsafe’ or ‘uncomfortable’, (which strictly speaking are not actual emotions they’re more like unresolved low resolution gestalt impressions that conceal the underlying emotions and) which in their vagueness are more open to abuse.

I encourage you to actually try to figure out what in fact are you feeling and ask you self why you might be feeling that. The basic emotions are: fear, anger, joy and sadness. Start there! You can use more words as you gain more awareness, I guess.

The reason I say that is because I believe that that kind of self-knowledge where people are really being honest with themselves, can only create better situations where they’re less likely to try to Weaponize their own emotional confusion as a way to abuse other people.

So I think it’s just generally healthy to be fully across where you are at, in a particular moment and to be in touch with what your internal sensors are giving you. if for no other reason, than that higher resolution enables you to contribute your unique specific perspective in a more detailed and constructive and useful way.
I don't think it's "entitled" at all to expect these platforms to deliver the experience they say they're selling. Getting deeper into an artist's work is and always will be a fundamental aspect of appreciating any kind of music. Insofar as that goes against their business model, they're just a new form of "muzak". I refuse to subscribe to any of them. I still find new music by listening to college radio. I'll buy CDs or records or download MP3s, but I won't let anyone control my collection.

Maybe people who came of age in the streaming world don't even know what they're missing, which is sad. But on the other hand, the vast majority of people have never really cared about music. That's why the top 40 has pretty much always been milquetoast trash, all the way back.

I just got in to milling trees in the last month, went from a 20" to mill up an old oak that fell in my back yard to a 36" 661.

If you made it 75 degrees and 5000 years old I may never stop hunting.
My Android customizations are all in the direction of minimalism. I turn off ever-present icons that provide no useful information. I turn off anything I don't need and keep it small and simple.

One thing I did literally 2 days ago: I've been using my phone for navigation a lot more this month than ever before but having the maps audio go through the Bluetooth to the car is awful in my car. For media and calls it's fine but for navigation it's just not a good experience. So I've been manually flipping the app audio to my phone every time I use it. I finally got fed up and created a routine to automatically set the audio for maps to the phone whenever it's connected to the car and, if also plugged in, launch maps automatically. Took only seconds to setup (should have done it sooner) and now I'm less annoyed whenever I have to use my phone for navigation.

My son is at this very moment doing the nand2tetris course on Coursera as a summer project, because he wanted to understand how computers work. It's very well done and the tools provided isolate the beginner from a lot of low-level EE details. The first half of the project has you build a simple 16-bit computer starting from logic gates, using a basic hardware description language, as well as an assembler for it. Simulators are provided. As you wrote, timing considerations are sweeped under the rug, which is too bad.

The second half is more software-oriented: you start by writing a stack machine emulator for your computer, and then you write a compiler for an object oriented high-level language that outputs stack machine code. Finally, you write a standard library for your language.

As a third part to this course, we will then implement that computer on an FPGA, following Michael Schröder at https://gitlab.com/x653/nand2tetris-fpga/ . This will be my first experience with FPGA development, so I'm looking forward to it as well.

What bothers me is not that they haven't been repealed, but that we aren't even talking about it.

I'm not surprised that these factions don't have the votes for reform. Rather, I'm very surprised that they don't even seem to exist. Why not?

Doesn't Android allow sandboxed MDMs to be added to the phone? I've seen this when using Island, which basically creates a fake work profile on the phone which is completely separated from your personal profile. For dual apps like a second WhatsApp it worked well, to the point that sharing photos from the second account was a pain because it couldn't see the main file system.
And when you don't want it anymore, that whole sandbox can be burned without touching the rest of the phone.

It'd be nice if iPhones had something similar. Not sure how anyone is supposed to use them for work when it comes to apps like WhatsApp and Signal. Or even less work stuff like dealing with recruiters, real estate agents and online dating where you might end up sharing primary contact details with people you don't want to hear from a few weeks later.

> Indeed, perhaps one could develop an elaborate system where in the schemas, we could annotate certain fields as being relevant to certain servers. Anywhere else, those fields would be unavailable (but passed through without modification or validation). If you needed the fields in a new place, you change the annotations.

I don't think it has to be elaborate. What I was thinking was something more like, in pseudo-C#:

// the framework's general channel type from which messages are read
public interface IChannel
{
T Read<T>() where T : interface;
}

// clients declare the interface they operate on:
public interface IClientFields
{
public int Foo { get; set; }
public string? Name { get; set; }
}
...
// client middleware function
Task MiddlewareFn(IChannel chan)
{
var client = chan.Read<IClientFields>();
... // do something with client before resuming at next stage
}

The client's interface type T must simply be a structural subtype of the underlying message type. As long as the underlying format is somewhat self-descriptive with a name and type map, you can perform the necessary checking that only applies locally to the client. Nothing fancy, and the required fields that client cares about are still there and the rest are ignored because they're never referenced. This could return an interface that contains a series of offsets into the data stream, which I believe is how capnproto already works.

Jobs have always been eliminated by new technology, but that also has never lead to permanent mass unemployment.

The fear of technology creating mass unemployment on a permanent basis has been a persistent one over the centuries. If you went back to the 1800s and told the government of the day that in 200 years, virtually nobody in the UK would work in the textile industry, they would be horrified and imagine a world of thousands upon thousands starving in the street. They would make plans to build more workhouses, send more people to the colonies, and clamp down on immigration.

If you went back about 100 years ago and told the people of the United States and Canada that there would only be agriculture jobs for 1% of the population, there would be riots as a plurality of the population would fear being pushed below even their relatively marginal living as farmers. They would fear mass starvation.

Neither of those came true. Humans found plenty of other things to do. And those other things provide an immensely higher standard of living than textile making or farming.
