Women do not need a bachelor’s degree to learn how to not get pregnant.

The whole society needs to accept that women should have rights to birth control, and should have control of when and who they have sex with. And, of course, educated women become able to sell services/goods that allow them to be financially independent, so as to not be coercible.

This happens to correlate with a society where women are more educated, but due to differences in physical power, “educated” men have to be part of the equation.
It’s a tone deaf reference to “guys really want to be emperors deep down like on that popular show”.
Nobody really lives in Montana so that's not a big surprise.
Not counting the cost of learning how to cluster together 500 GPUs, the cost of learning how to train models efficiently on 500 GPUs, the cost of convincing a cloud provider to let you get 500 GPUs, the cost of trying to find a cloud provider that actually has 500 GPUs you can book, etc, etc.
Whatsapp can be assumed insecure because it's owned by Meta. Signal and the Apple apps are another story.

In the case of a national security incident, these companies don't cooperate with the government because they have no ability to do so. On occasions where the government has broken Apple encryption, they've done so by buying the software or services of companies who collect zero-day exploits, which Apple then fixes when they become known.

Governments hate basing a policing policy on the hope that a zero-day will exist when they need one. They much prefer a dependable backdoor that they can access which nobody else can, and that's the magic unicorn that cannot be built.
I don't think people should have kids very young, but if you're 25+ and you think you want kids some day, just let it happen.

Don't worry about being ready, because nothing can truly prepare you for it. You will never be ready for your first child because there's nothing you can do to train for it.

Just do it.
If you look at things objectively, then yes, it is the most important for the species. If you look at things relatively, then no, there's a lot of factors at play and everyone does not need to have kids (overpopulation concerns, cost of living, personal preferences, etc).

That being said, having kids brings so much perspective to a life already lived. You almost live a second (or third, forth, fifth, etc) life vicariously though them, so it's up there in "experiences to have".
I'm 38, and I'm socially unable to meet women outside of online dating, I've had enough girlfriend and a long, 8 years relationship (she did not want kids).

I don't really understand that social norm of having kids. I can understand sexual desire, but is there really a "desire to have kids"?

Is having kids really some kind of moral imperative to "continue the human species"?

Anyway, women have high standards, which is normal, so it's normal that a lot of men will be left on the side.

And women also suffer for not having kids if they wanted to.
Spending a lot more time with my aging father, I see a certain joy and pride in him whenever we are doing things together, a feeling that I will myself never know.

Instead I chose career, travel and education early in life, and while I do not regret it.. Later in life I noticed that for me such accomplishments feel worth about 5 minutes of cold talk in social events, even more among those who warmly talk about their grandchildren and even great grandchildren.

Each of us have a limited time here, and we make choices that (hopefully) makes it worthwhile. Though perhaps, the choices I made left a feeling of emptiness..
I agree that funders should not expect a reward for their pledge.

However, it is simply not true that it is "obligation-free". This is inaccurate.

Kickstarter say:

> When a project is successfully funded, the creator must complete the project and fulfill each reward. Once a creator has done so, they’ve satisfied their obligation to their backers.

> The creator is solely responsible for fulfilling the promises made in their project. If they’re unable to satisfy the terms of this agreement, they may be subject to legal action by backers.

>> kids take a lot of work, you have to be in the right place to do it.

I think it's a certain type of personality that believes this. I know somebody who gets worried for certain friends/family having children because they don't own their house or have high paid jobs. They have a laundry list of todo's (mostly financial) before they will even consider having children. It's almost condescending but I choose to see it as more of an unnecessary fear/anxiety. People make do. People get knocked up, they get unemployed, they get help from friends and family where possible, and they love their kids just as much as the people who planned it on a Jira board.
We ought to be converting these people into adoptive or foster parents.
Wow, parts of the "how the character became a millionaire" montage that never leave the cutting room floor.
> Having children is an odd status symbol in Western society.

Funny, the exact opposite sentiment is mentioned in the article. I'm not sure who is right.
Having a bloodline vs not having one. There’s people out there today who think adopting a kid is equivalent to a biological one. Versus the Game of Thrones thinking that bloodline matters a lot.

Painfully constructing UIs one line at a time is, well, painful. The whole DOM API is like that, and people have been trying to get away from it since at least jQuery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projections_of_population_grow...

There's a visible shift towards the low end, with the peak now happening in this century, instead of the next.

I think it's unlikely that the global population will peak below 9bln, but below 10bln in within the realm of possibility, considering that it already had been revised by close to half a billion.
Thanks for assembling this list, I'll reply to each.

> Some members think squatting is not a problem, let people take all names, and then people will invent creative ones, like nokogiri in Ruby.

I think we can agree that time has proven this one to be wrong (predictably).

> Adding of namespaces only moves the squatting problem from squatting crate names to squatting namespaces.

This is why Maven uses two schemes, io.github.username (and similar) in case of Git hosting services, or proven domain ownership via DNS TXT records. There has been zero drama in many years of having this scheme. [0]

> Using usernames for namespaces makes typosquatting even worse

Yes this is not a good idea.

> crates.io relies on GitHub for identities, but GitHub usernames are not permanent

A "published artifacts may never be unpublished" rule should solve that, plus protecting a namespace (groupId) once it has been used to upload an artifact by credentials.

> Crate names map to Rust identifiers

TBH I don't get that one. It seems this is more like a technical question of how to mangle symbols?

> There's already a ton of non-namespaced crates

Maven had the same issue, it is no really a problem, just confusing bc for a while there will be duplicates (could be solved by redirects).

> Having anti-squatting policy is laborious to enforce

Understandable. I think using the Maven scheme, it should be fully automatable, but I'm not sure.

> crates.io is understaffed

Understandable. I suspect corporations could be interested in having this managed properly, as this is a security issue. Possible revenue stream via managed services (Maven does this)?

> people also proposed different approaches, like UUIDs/hashes/git URLs

Haven't looked at this in detail, seems inferior because mnemonics are important, and Git URLs alone are too limited.

I am not a lawyer, but it seems right to me to say that the weights are a derivative work of the training set.

> A “derivative work” is a work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications, which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a “derivative work”.

As I understand it, derivative works must be created with the legal use of the original work, or be fair use, otherwise they are infringing.
Agreed. I was always on the fence about children, and eventually decided/realized a strong desire to have children is a responsible prerequisite.

Remember the "Mongo DB is web scale" craze from now over a decade ago? That's the current state of vector DBs, despite vector DBs having been around forever.

Do you have more than a terabyte of embeddings? No? Do yourself a favor and use pg_vector with a HNSW index, it'll do just fine. Operationally, it is very hard to beat Postgres.
Yeah, someone should model the predicted “pain” scale of this transition. I don’t think going from 5 to 4 is going to be as linearly painful as 3 to 2.
Anyone know of any good books on how to grow a software company?
Please re-read the HN commenting guidelines.
Is it? I don't see anything patronising in there. It is just a statement. I don't think that people who cannot have children are seen as something less. This is just you wanting to be offended.

And yes, in general there is almost nothing more important other than reproduction from the perspective of species. Nothing controversial about that either.
My experience was that you will never feel "ready" to have kids, you just close your eyes and go for it.

I think it is a good idea to look at finances and relationship health; but beyond that I'm not sure much else matters.

It's almost the same as marriage - and your comment is insightful in that when given the choice humans will almost never choose to change, being "selfish" feels great while you are doing it.
The response to your devil's advocate argument is: giving you the keys is not actually a solution, because now every foreign government is racing to break, steal or buy those keys, and not only can we not guarantee that it won't happen, but we can't even discover if it happens, or when. We can build a secret entrance, but we cannot guard it!
I've been doing syntropic agriculture for over 7 years now. Ernst is no doubt a great teacher! But I would be careful with claiming it has better yields, it really depends on how you are measuring it, you might get better yields per plant, but not per square meter if counting only 1 crop, but since you have multiple crops in the same space (separated by time) the yields are better in general.

Its beautiful to see a coffee plantation where the trees got pruned right before the coffee flowers, that makes the best harvest per plant no doubt.

The best bigger scale syntropic system I know so far is Mata do Lobo https://instagram.com/matadolobo they are really mechanizing a lot of those processes are really digging into the soil ecosystem, its worth checking them out.
I'm not convinced those are legitimate problems, since we're great at detecting future problems but terrible at imagining future solutions. In the late 19th century for example, people were afraid NYC would cease to function because it'd be covered in pony poop.

Nitrogen exists in the air, meaning it's a question of filtering it. I've heard rumor of carbon capture devices, so yanking nitrogen out of the air seems trivial once someone gets the engineering down.

Water is mostly the same issue, with desalination being the final end to that scarcity. Before that, we'd likely be able to filter plenty of less-than-usable water for our plants' purposes, which may even include wicking it out of the air.

Not to say I know what the answer is, but that I know with absolute certitude that I don't know enough to project current geopolitical trends onto future circumstances.
I never canceled, I expect St. Michael to hand me one after death.
I've never seen that happen myself, but I have heard of it. My only theory is that it happens in places which are heavily socially/politically conservative and "backwards", where women can't imagine men being an actual real parent.

I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed that the Amiga community sticks with and improves the standards that were already set in the early 1990's (AmigaGuide, the Lisp-y installer scripts, LHA, and probably also things that are not mentioned in the article, like AREXX and datatypes) instead of reinventing the same wheel over and over.

Sourcio – Hire an AI Agent instead of a headhunter
> In 1964 Fayed arrived in Haiti, one of the world’s poorest nations, hailed as a rich sheikh from Kuwait. He romanced one of Papa Doc’s daughters and persuaded Duvalier to give him an oil concession and a contract to manage the Port-au-Prince harbour. The Duvaliers’ love affair with Fayed was short-lived. Early in 1965 the fake sheikh left Haiti, never to return. More than $100,000 (almost $1m today) was reportedly found to be missing from the port authority’s bank account.

I think portraying him as having "built his empire from the ground up" is misguided at best and very dishonest at worst.

There is a worthy discussion somewhere in here, but as written this is just flamebait, and got a predictable response from others.

Please spend some time reading the HN commenting guidelines - there are a few about divisive topics and flamebait which are relevant to this comment.
With no evidence to offer I strongly suspect this is the biggest piece of it

>And, of course, educated women become able to sell services/goods that allow them to be financially independent, so as to not be coercible.
Yes, contrary to the article, the opposite is true (in my experience).
I backed it for a dollar so I could get updates, and I remember looking at early demos and thinking "this will never be fun."

That said, every time someone mentions the Clang software package I think "wait, that game is still around?"

Pointing out hypocrisy is not against the guidelines. I might well ask you to do the same, as your comment is obviously flame inciting.

Because people outside the Emacs world generally launch an editor from scratch almost every time they want to edit a particular file. Even such monstrosities like VisuatStudio, MS Office and LibreOffice take just some seconds to start on my very old PC. If Emacs takes longer that's a serious turn-off for anybody who doesn't live in Emacs already.
Yeah, I agree. There's an easy solution for regret of not having kids, adoption. It'll be better for you and for the kid(s).

There's no reason this childless person can't change his situation if he's capable of caring for a kid.
Just a nit pick, generally we refer to it as SIMD - Single instruction multiple data[1]. In reality today most CPUs have vector processing instructions and GPUs have lots of groups of SIMD units so both CPUs and GPUs are MIMD, GPUs are just much further along on the Instruction:Data ratio.

> It's our cattle and farming methods that are wiping out all wildlife.

Well, when you say "our" you mean your own. Our local cattle graze on the machair.

But that's not the argument you originally made. You were saying it's impossible to raise grazing animals without being environmentally unfriendly. That is the part I dispute.

A relevant documentary, although slightly more about women and the world in general, is Birthgap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6s8QlIGanA, where they talk about "unplanned childlessness"
Everyone's experience is different, but my understanding (and experience) has always been the opposite: People see a dad taking his kid out to the playground and think "dad of the year" before they think of a pervert, because the bar for what it takes to be a good dad is so low. There are so many uninvolved dads out there that the smallest token gesture like taking your kids to the playground is seen as some huge accomplishment.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. This is exactly why the UN has predicted a slowing of population growth with an eventual peak of 10-11B in several decades.

However this article is suggesting a much more drastic slowing and much lower peak. I am interested in the evidence or assumptions that are different between these two forecasts.
I'm not offended, thanks. I'm just saying that there is a life for everyone, and reproducing is not the most important thing for many. We're not talking objectively about the biology of the human species, really. We're talking about anthropology and what being a human means.

Alternatives like DuckDuckGo or Brave Search don't have cookie banners. Google is far more widespread, but just because Google does something, that doesn't mean it isn't wrong. I will give Google credit for their consent dialog which has a "Reject All" option, (seemingly, from a UI perspective) in full compliance with GDPR.

The websites needing cookie banners or GDPR consent dialogs are using personal data for serving ads or selling it to the highest bidder. It's not a sentiment, but a fact visible to anyone that cares to see it. And just because it's a widespread practice doesn't make it ok.

do you think real estate is still a safe investment considering the projection for population drops?
THIS. People vary greatly in how strongly they weight the present vs. the future when they are making decisions. (And they're often darn inconsistent - being (say) very-long-term in planning their career, yet reckless about their health and safety.)
How? The modern narrative for a majority of people is that it is impossible for them to progress in life because they're held back by "invisible forces", like racism, lack of education or other similar issues. Al-Fayed is in stark contrast to all these.

My first computer was an Apple 2 clone too, but there really was no visibile Apple logo or branding on it. My parents bought it for a helfty sum of my Dad's 1 month pay at the time thinking their two kids would learn BASIC programming. lol.

I watched these a few years back and agree they're a really interesting set of talks.
You can certainly desire to have kids, just like you can desire to have anything.
Cruel in what way?
Mixed feelings.

On the one side, it feels like people stay "immature" for longer; instead of starting their careers in their teens and a family not long after, people stay in school until their mid-twenties.

Then, what does it take to start a family? Stability. People need a stable income, a living wage, and a place they can call home.

If people complain about birth rates, pay people a living wage when they enter the workforce, and make it so people can afford to own a house (that they can live in for the rest of their life if they want to) from their mid twenties onwards on a single income.

People can't build a future now, because they worry about the next paycheck.
> If the average man's labor is worth $15/hr [..] Al-Fayed was either more than 700 times smarter, faster, stronger, and harder-working than the average man

That is literally what I said.
