> An important contribution to long-term sickness volumes has come from the large number of "baby boomers" (those born between 1946 and 1964) approaching retirement.

The lack of age breakdown in these statistics is disappointing, its not clear how much of these trends can be attributed to an ageing population.
While I agree there are often additional deeper causes, picking up a prescription will begin faster than waiting for capitalism to be done away with.

I think this summary is ignoring CBT-I aspect, assuming they managed to make it work without interaction. CBT is pretty much a specialty that you learn with a therapist. My main concern about subj is on that. And also: if they really pulled it off, they may just pivot/extend to full-on CBT as well.
A simpler example is that you have a certain risk of death every single day and it grows larger with age

Let's say you have a 0,1% chance to die at 30yo every single day.

As you age it goes to 0,3%..1%...2% and it can become a cointoss when you are very old and sick so instead it goes 0,2%...0.8%...1.5%
Do you have any evidence of your claim.
A thousand times this. As someone who has been fascinated with package management for a long time, my first reaction to FPM was horror. FPM is by and for people who resent package management and want to avoid actual packaging work, not people who are passionate about doing it well.

You want people who, when tasked with creating a package for a distribution format that is new to them, look not to tools like this, but to the conventions and standards of successful distros which use that format as examples.

You want 'native' engagement with those packaging formats, not hacks like FPM. The parent commenter's suggestion is an excellent one.
>Unless you believe Google is controlled on the micro-level by some all-knowing AI with the single goal of profit seeking, and it can ultimately align every one of their goals to profit, that is just an overly naive take.

Yes, because a company can be a negative actor driven by profit-seeking only if it is "controlled on the micro-level by some all-knowing AI with the single goal of profit seeking, and it can ultimately align every one of their goals to profit".

To think otherwise would be naive /s

Thanks for the nuance!

The Linux community has broadly decided that the answer to that question is yes. No corporate Linuxes would touch it any more, and it is even scheduled for removal from the kernel.

> But news today isn’t what news was in the 1980s and 1990s.

Other than the fact that its not anymore from a mostly-uniform set of corporate owners with mostly-uniform biases imposed on it, yes, actually, it is (and that had actually started to break down in the 1990s, anyway.)

(There are qualitative differences by specific outlet and medium, sure, but that was true in the 1980s and 1990s, too, with studies then showing, IIRC, quantity of radio and TV news consumption – unlike newspapers and newsmagazine consumption – inversely correlated with knowledge of current events.)

One reason I like NixOS/guix is that they lay the groundwork for "Linux ecosystem"-wide integration testing. They (build-)architecturally tackle the problems of the highly asynchronous nature of Linux software development, which should eventually increase software (integration) quality.

In theory one could eventually build other distros on top of these. I think there's a lot to look forward to ;)

Same, I can think of several people I know that fit this category -- they've built enough wealth and WFH/furlough gave them a taste for what they were missing by not having retired early -- so they retired early

I just hope they actually spend some of that wealth rather than keeping it sat in savings account

I also hope they look at young people today and recognise the economic difficulties many are facing: getting on the house ladder, getting stable employment, getting above inflation pay rises
> Honestly, It's not like Amazon, Spotify, Netflix, etc. have much better recommendation algorithms.

YT has a dislike button that:

- doesn't prevent video from being at top of search results

- doesn't remove it from recommendations

- doesn't remove it from autoplay nor mixes

Even Netflix deals with that better.

Amazon and other e-commerce sites all have "toilet seat collector" problem with recommendation systems, I don't know if it can be improved upon.

Unsurprising. There's a poor economic argument for funding healthcare in the UK, other than it being used as a political football to win votes. The result is decades of underfunding and then massive tranches of funding to make headlines which has to be spent immediately and therefore gets squandered on "transformation initiatives" without a focus on health outcomes.

The public are being told that the UK can't afford to pay healthcare staff market rates, and so they are all leaving the NHS. The result is this dip in GDP, which IMO is more expensive.

It is also a branding problem, imo. Part of the reason I prefer software from distro repositories is because those conventions the distro maintainers enforce help ensure that packages won't do stupid things and break my system.

Especially with DEB and RPM, where the packaging format supports arbitrary hooks that run as root, this is a big deal. High quality packages that meet distro standards will inspire confidence in customers' sysadmins. Substandard packaging may do disservice to your core software's brand, if your actual software is more solid and thoughtful than the packaging.
Let me see... You've been here since Oct 2009, let's call it 14 years. You have 12k karma. So that's 850 karma per year. Isn't that quite low? Do you think that maybe what you have to say is generally quite low value or quality?

Nope, this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropa_belladonna

> Atropa belladonna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a toxic perennial herbaceous plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae

> The foliage and berries are extremely toxic when ingested, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, which cause delirium and hallucinations

>In the end there's a net result

There is, but the financial net result is only known with hindsight. Exactly which actions boost the net result in a particular time frame always remains uncertain.

Also, the people who work for corporations have their own goals and net results, such as promoting their own careers or self esteem.

Shareholders may wish for a single minded, deterministic, profit seeking machine but that is not a possibility. Capitalism just provides vague, incomplete and even contradictory incentives.

The main reason that propaganda and dehumanization are such a typical part of war, is that it helps prevent people from considering the weight of their own actions, let alone the perspective of the enemy. What I described is not a whataboutism, it's a hypothetical illustrating exactly what's happening today, except flipping the roles of the participants. Yet of course it feels alien enough that you instinctively want to fight against it - I must be tricking you or engaging in some sort of deceptive rhetorical device. I am not.

That's a pretty condescending take on what's evidently a paintakingly put-together theoretical+experimental study, from one of the best condensed matter groups in the world.

Believe it or not, researchers more than any other people love the possibility of previously-undiscovered exotic phenomena; these guys are not coming into this with the agenda of enforcing orthodoxy and stifling a potential discovery. But materials still ought to be consistent with what we know about the laws of physics, and it's totally valid to check this via theory and experiment.
even if it does, a bunch of accessible data you can develop with is a godsend. Even if it were a completely commercial service, i'd still be happy to have some competition over the couple of monopolies that are left in this space.
> The moment the Cloudflare dictatorship becomes less benevolent…[]

In my eyes they have already done that. ICYMI I highly suggest checking out their response and subsequent blog post around the Kiwifarms incident.

That whole debacle was enough to prove to me they learned nothing and are going to continue down this path. I migrated web services and closed my account with them shortly after that whole thing.

Cloudflare routinely ignores abuse reports for its network and takes no responsibility for the utter garbage being carried across their network. It’s almost comical how they so desperately cling to the claim that they are “just a dumb pipe” on one side of the house and on the other a “serious security vendor” who is “protecting the web” while blocking out users simply for the “crime” of trying to preserve their privacy.

If they wanted to convince me they had the web’s best interest at heart they wouldn’t host half the sites they do. They would actually respond to abuse reports and take abusive websites offline rather than wait for it to hurt their bottom line and reputation before taking action but they don’t.

I'd expect someone that worked on the BSD kernel or SunOS or whatever else to be able to read about your linux fork and come away with a certain level of understanding as to what sort of thing you hoped to achieve vs what's in the existing mainline kernel. People with some kernel theory under their belt, that sort of stuff.

They may not grasp every little thing, but they would be likely to get an understanding.

But the use of deliberately weird terms for things makes it less possible for those who likely have overlapping domain knowledge to understand these systems or posts about them.

Sure any program could break something, but with command lines things feel more abstract in a way, and whenever I'm putting in a command I can't help but feel I'm betting on not screwing up.

I will say I'm warming up to the terminal than I ever did CMD because you can run programs without faffing about with CD (or god forbid you try and figure out how to switch with drive to use).

Why would I need to put a lot of effort to be able to be part of a discussion which is seemingly not intended for me?

Until then if I want to waste my time on esoteric nonsense I go look at the Woynich Manuscript or read schizo larp on /x/.

Hi community,

As a marketer, writing emails, blog posts, and social media content is a critical aspect of my job. However, it's not always easy to transform my unstructured thoughts into polished copy, and it can take up a significant portion of my day. Plus, as a non-native English speaker, I sometimes struggle with expressing myself and making typos carelessly.

So, together with one friend, we're building an AI-powered tool that simplifies the process from scattered ideas in the mind to crafting a high-quality piece. Here's how it works in 3 simple steps:

1. Talk: Just speak your unstructured thoughts out. You can use your preferred language, regardless of whether it's English, French, Spanish, or any other.

2. Choose: Select the copy type, tone, and output language that best suit your needs. Whether you need an engaging email, an informative blog post, or a captivating social media update, the tool has got you covered.

3. Generate and Done: Click the generate button, and within a minute, your jumbled thoughts will transform into polished copy. It's as simple as that!

To spice up your content, you can also use the built-in AI image generator to create visually appealing images based on your text instantly. Please check the demo video here: https://mmntm.me/voxwriter

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this concept and invite you to join the waiting list if you're interested.
