> Right, because the whole point of Python is as a glue language for native libraries.

I have had this precise need before. I have a multi-threaded native library. The multi-threading is essential for reasonable performance in the intended use-case for the library. But my users can't write C++ to call it; they'd like Python. They'd like to extend certain specific operations that my native library does during processing. I give them Python bindings. The perf gained by running the library on multiple cores is completely negated whenever multiple C++ threads of my native library need to run Python code.
Right, but that is only needed if the assets don't cover the liabilities. Numbers given were covered.

Naive reading of that is that they were not liquid?

>But the "free speech absolutists" who used to bark about this are nowhere to be seen.

It's pretty easy to see Elon Musk, who literally and often declares himself a “free speech absolutist”, even if it doesn't match his actions.

How ‘free speech absolutist’ Elon Musk would transform Twitter:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/14/how-free-...

>Change is on the cards if he succeeds. Musk said in a letter to the board on Thursday that Twitter is “the platform for free speech around the world” but cannot achieve this “societal imperative” in its current form and “needs to be transformed as a private company”.

>His main concern appears to be with Twitter’s moderation policies. In March he tweeted a poll asking users whether the site adhered to the principle of free speech. “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy,” he said. “What should be done?” He has declared himself a “free speech absolutist” and, in that context, the Twitter-banned former US president Donald Trump must be hoping Musk’s bid succeeds.

>Mr. Musk, who did not respond to a request for comment, has been vocal about being a “free speech absolutist” who believes in unfettered discussions online. He has moved swiftly to overhaul Twitter’s practices, allowing former President Donald J. Trump — who was barred for tweets that could incite violence — to return. Last week, Mr. Musk proposed a widespread amnesty for accounts that Twitter’s previous leadership had suspended. And on Tuesday, he ended enforcement of a policy against Covid misinformation.

Don't you ever have projects with conflicting requirements? How about running stuff on a new box or after a reinstall?

I wonder if our definition of "non-trivial" might differ if neither of these apply.
They might know what they are doing politically but in terms of modern technology and its implications I'm not convinced they know what they are doing technologically or socially. They are being driven by vocal advocacy from groups with an agenda and the media. Those advocates do make reasonable points about things we can all agree are good or bad in isolation and so the politicians often go along with it. But that doesn't mean they necessarily understand the full implications or have thought through the long-term consequences of the laws and regulations they propose.
Wizz cancelled a flight, gave me an advanced warning 2 days ahead, cancelled also all future flights on that route. Since I booked through an agent, didn't offer anything beyond monopoly points. Ended up going through my credit card company to get it refunded. It was quite a hassle to find a replacement flight flying reasonably close to my destination. That one was with Ryanair and everything worked out excellent with them.

Sure, but 800k out of 120m people is nowhere near affecting the senior citizens of the future. Time will tell if it's a stabilizing change that will oscillate around some baseline, or if it will continue to drastically decline.

And even if a drastic decline is the future we're looking at, there is no shortage of immigrants who are willing to take menial jobs for low pay. As far as I know Japan hasn't been an inviting immigration destination so far. There are policy changes to make that could easily inject some population to the country.

It doesn't seem like they do believe that, and even if they did, that's not the point.

The point is that allowing this access without explicit user consent enables various "scummy things" that neither Apple nor the user can then stop or easily detect.

That's propaganda, and now you're getting somewhere. We already get 63% of our protein from plants. If we were to extend that to 100%, we could store our entire 1.5C carbon budget through afforesting and rewilding pastures, which would also help restore biodiversity.

Climate change, resource depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, overpopulation, soil erosion, and overfishing are all but symptoms of ecological overshoot.

Switching off animal protein would help solve climate change (15-25% impact, co2/methane/n20), deforestation, pollution, soil erosion and overfishing.

So it's one of the most impactful things we should do ... helping to solve 5 things out of 7.

We don't have any such solutions, that's something that sways the attention from things we already have at our disposal (just wait for this one thing that may or may not come ...).

Rich countries did/are doing most of the damage, the poorest ones are the ones paying most for it. If everyone would act as we do, we would need several more earths.

The same reason you use Chrome and then also Google Maps and Gmail. Just swap a Mac with Chrome and an iPhone with Gmail.

There are lots of little features like being able to copy on my iPhone and then it’s saved into a shared clipboard so that I can paste into my Mac. Those kinds of things (there are many, many others and you can look them up for yourself) are why someone would be influenced to choose an iPhone if they are using a Mac.

As an aside I think most users across all platforms use Google’s ecosystem but I would expect Apple users to use it less than others since Apple provides good enough alternatives such as Safari, Apple Maps, iCloud, etc.
Yes I believe adjustment on population density and benefits will change the birth rate somehow. When babies are starting to be investment than outright expenses will change people's mind. However will it happen when the situation is still good or when it is already in danger.

Too many elderly that need to be supported by too few productive population is a dangerous situation.
Really like the theme of this piece. My concern with long-term AI support, which coaching and mentoring in a professional environment needs to be for the full impact of development cycles, is what happens when the provider of the AI starts to tinker with the secret sauce? Whether because of hardware restrictions or tweaking weights, what happens when the 'person' helping you through your career suddenly begins caveating everything they say like an HR parrot attempting to avoid offense, remain within the "law", or otherwise create an entirely new personality to interactive with?

Not sure what we are going to call the death of an AI friend/coach/mentor, but there is going to be a name for it. Digital dissolution? Retirement? Either way, a solid perspective on how AI can help in accessible, and much needed, individual help.
And a human-driven bike (recumbent or not) is infinitely more efficient than an electric one. That's the real comparison, because functionally this is a lot closer to a regular bike than to a car. The efficiency argument doesn't seem very compelling to anyone coming from either alternative. Better IMO to focus on ease of use for those who would use a regular bike except for physical limitations.

The thing is socialization: women are taught from a shockingly young age to be wary of men, dark alleys, tunnels, parks, everything. Black people to be careful around police.

Of course even if you do not belong to a group of people who face regular discrimination, you can still be mindful of the issues the groups face - but it won't ever be an as natural part of your thinking.

Is that missing? Lots of countries have all sorts of incentives. And of course it’s strictly not true that direct incentives have been required throughout history, so it’s worth asking why they’d be required now and whether those factors can/should be changed directly.

>They needn't fall for the "population growth at all costs" meme, and I hope they don't.

It's so tiring reading this nonsense rhetoric over and over again.

Population decline resulting from decades of abysmal fertility rates is absolutely a horrible thing. There's no "meme" here to be had.

When people stop working, they stop contributing to society but they don't stop taking from it.

For as long as human society has formed, the solution was either the working population being productive enough for everyone else or the non working dying off soon after the fact.

When fertility rates are in the shitter for a long time, you guarantee that at some point, the working population will be far far lower than what is necessary to support the rest.

A demographic and societal collapse will ensue. Many benefits and safety nets for many people including the working will cease to exist simply because it can no longer be sustained.

Japan's national pension scheme is "pay as you go", meaning that benefits for retirees today are paid out of the contributions going into the scheme today.

Japan has already reached the point of having less than two workers per retiree. By 2050, that number is projected to be more like 1.5.

Paying some taxes to social security / medicare / etc works out OK when those go to cover 0.5 to 1 dependent per worker. When that 1 workers income needs to support 1.5 .. 2+ things will get ugly fast.

Once this hits in full force, it will last decades.
It's that simple.

And it has nothing absolutely nothing to do with capitalism or socialism or communism or whatever -ism you might want to scapegoat. For as long as humans need to work to survive this will be a problem.

The problems Japan is having, South Korea is looking to speedrun. It's so bad that it's too late to forestall a collapse. Even if the country magically started having replenishing birth rates immediately, in at most a few decades, we'll be seeing a collapse that would last at least 20 years. This is the best case scenario. It's straight up apocalyptic.

This is what a population table looks like for a country that had a fertility rate of 6 at year 0 and then an extinction level rate of 1 for decades (SK is actually decidedly worse at 0.78 now).

(148) Year 0: 4 sixties, 11 forties, 33 twenties, 100 newborns,

(194) Year 20: 11 sixties, 33 forties, 100 twenties, 50 newborns

(208) Year 40: 33 sixties, 100 forties, 50 twenties, 25 newborns

(187) Year 60: 100 sixties, 50 forties, 25 twenties, 12 newborns

(93) Year 80: 50 sixties, 25 forties, 12 twenties, 6 newborns

(46) Year 100: 25 sixties, 12 forties, 6 twenties, 3 newborns

(23) Year 120: 12 sixties, 6 forties, 3 twenties, 1 newborn

It's like climate change. You go decades with everything looking normal at first glance. By the time, everything doesn't look so normal it's to late to do anything other than save your population from extinction. (Assuming you can even do that. A lot of people seem to miss the fact that not one country that has suffered declining fertility rates has managed to reverse the trend despite trying for decades. Not one)
You think we need more political discourse in our lives? It seems to me that political discourse on social media is mostly limited to 'I'm pissed off that people don't agree with me and refuse to listen to them to understand why'. That doesn't seem helpful.
Zeihan says a lot of interesting stuff, but his track record is pretty spotty.
Japan needs to move to a 4 day work week. Their culture and lifestyle is sucking the will to live from their young people.

"hate" is too strong. Australia and China have both prospered together for many years. Australia has too much to be thankful to China for.

It is more likely pure fear. If current trends continue, at some point Australia'll have to knuckle under and start aligning ourselves with Chinese policy or get squished by them. And If the US/South America dynamic is any standard to go by, they'll probably start taking a more active role in moderating Australian politics which isn't welcome to the current politicians.

Discord vs IRC is just another extension of the "open, decentralised vs proprietary, centralised social media" debate. It baffles me that even people who are aware of, and opposed to, the ongoing enshittification of Twitter and Reddit would so happily choose Discord.

That said, I think privacy is a weak argument against Discord (or, rather, a weak argument for IRC). I have used IRC for many years and I never assumed that anything I put on there was private. Everything you post can be seen and trivially recorded by other users as well as the server operator.

To me it's more about not having your access to social media entirely at the whim of a corporation whose incentives are not aligned with yours and who, sooner or later, is going to come under significant pressure to monetise you. So I guess, in a word, control is the main advantage. This includes control over whether you can access the service, how you access it, what you can access and on what terms you can access it. IRC's simplicity is a definite plus in that regard.

And then you have the "average user", who ruthlessly selects for ease of use and cost and doesn't care about any of this stuff. I think that is a short-sighted position, but ultimately people will make their choice and the average user's preference for walled gardens built by VC-backed corporations is so strong I think it unlikely to be reversed by any amount of blogs or HN comments. I think these services (or their successors) will always continue to exist and will probably always be far more popular than the open alternatives, but it is still worth maintaining and promoting those alternatives, which can provide a sustainable platform for those of us who care about such things.
What you’re talking about appears to be some particular subset of the content that appears on social media platforms, not the concept of social media itself.

Also before complaining about the toxicity of social media I’d suggest you take a look at the toxicity you’re choosing to contribute to this platform with how intentionally abrasive your comments appear to be.

Even in the middle of nowhere, it's basically impossible to find a 1br for under $1000/month. That's $12k/yr.

That math doesn't work, even in cheap places.
