>What an odd perspective. Are children the only way to have skin in the game when it comes to the future?

What, specifically, is odd about it? I think the stranger position is the one that allows people to inform policy that affects future generations when they themselves are intentionally not making themselves a part of that future. Put simply: why do you get a voice in what will affect my kids when you think the future is all for naught anyway?

Think of it like this: why do you think politicians always advertise the fact that they have a family when they're running for office (or hide the fact that they don't)? Because it, at a subconscious level, makes people feel comfortable. "This person's progeny have to live with these policies." It's a trust signal.

>One consequence...

I've stated twice now that intentionality matters. If you're referring to things like Monasteries, where people take vows of chastity (which would obviously preclude children), the idea of political participation is already complicated. I've known a Priest or two who don't believe Clergy should vote.

>Having just read...

I'm radically opposed to AWT for other not-unrelated reasons.
Children learn by example. There are exceptions of course, and if you believe in exceptions rather than rules then go spend all your income in lottery tickets.
Using a traffic estimator I'm seeing less than 1M pageviews a month for Gizmodo en Espanol. I don't think this means too much. Almost all their traffic is for their English site.

I also dont think the skillset of translators and journalists are that similar. Its probably not the best time to be in ad-supported content now (for this and other reasons) but dont really see how "Site automatically translates original journalism done in English into Spanish" is necessarily bad for the journalists who now will get their work seen by more people.
Yes I mean free version which was good enough.

The other great thing about slack is that anyone from company can start an account without IT’s approval…
The base supports JPARC which is the primary cold weather training area for the entire DoD. They also house a massive refueling operation since tons of military APAC to CONUS flights pass right by Alaska.
If you look at Dalewyn's post below, you'll find your answer.
I felt the entire last third was the ending, and Stephenson – reacting to the constant (and imo legitimate) critique of his endings – was like 'screw it, I'll show them!'
> In any case, I understand your point about there not being many options for gendered pronouns in some languages,

No, I explicitly did not mention pronouns, my post was about all the language groups where merely changing pronouns is barely scratching the surface as core grammar features rely on grammatical gender. Like, no offense intended, but French is not an example of a "heavily gendered language" - I'd consider French on the very low end of the grammatical gender complexity scale, where indeed suggestions such as yours might be plausible. For example, consider Hebrew or Slavic languages which have verbs and adjectives denoting the gender of the subject/object. Consider grammatical gender in Hindi or Welsh. And I'm not even talking about more complicated systems like you might see in Bantu languages.
This feels circular, since async/await is futures which are generators
Or… i could try and play through Space Ex since it was mentioned in FFF and I’ve never tried it before.
Im really interested to see how a public ARM handles questions about riscv at quarterly earnings reports
It's obsolete now, but before async/await was part of JS proper I worked on a compile-to-JS language that handled this by compiling to callbacks: https://github.com/rzimmerman/kal

It included try/catch support and fancy stuff, like loops. The source may be interesting for anyone interested in compilers: https://github.com/rzimmerman/kal/blob/master/source/generat...

The Kal compiler is written in Kal, but it's supposed to be easy to read. Surprisingly the browser demo still works: http://rzimmerman.github.io/kal/demo.html
For most companies, the real application is the database. Everything else is just a UI to view/edit the database contents.
Wires require more manual processing than ACH transactions, it’s possible your online wire request got printed or faxed where a person manually entered the transaction into the fedwire system.
Looks cool, I was kind of wondering what is the expected use case for this? Since it does not exactly connect different tables, it just queries the same table and draws insight on it - I am not sure how I see myself using this
Malaysian here. Yeah some of the historical sites in Penang or Melaka come to mind. I think the Peranakan [1] culture is one of the most obvious examples in using colors and is widespread to the region, not just in Singapore.

I have 12 YO. I have given him both laptop and phone with restrictions.

YouTube = 30 min a day
Roblox = 30 min on weekends
General browsing = Enforced by Kaspersky Safe Kids with all adult content blocked

Total device time = 1.5 hour per day

Anything that takes more time, like scratch programming, school projects, research on topics, etc. is done on my laptop under my casual supervision (I reading a book and he using my laptop and filling his word doc with what he wants to write or doing Scratch programming for example).

Family link for Android works great.
Kaspersky Safe Kids works great for Windows Laptop.

I can enforce device use time, content, app time limits, etc. Has been working like a charm since Covid days.
Ask HN: Are there any good AI solutions for adjusting CSS via text prompt?
I'd like to be able to type instructions and see the result interactively.

i.e
"change the font to Lobster"
"make each items edges rounded"
"put a close cross to the left of each item"
"make the color of each item randomly selected from bright colors"

Does anything like this exist? I've dug around but found nothing impressive.

Wow. I was enjoying this thread but you really killed the vibe by thinking you’re a better determiner of people’s free time, not to mention you somehow think you know a stranger on the internet better than themselves?

“Depave” movement: trading asphalt for mud, erosion, and ruts
> Why is there so much secrecy surrounding it? Is it not a publicly funded project?

It's a military project so it's not surprising theres a lot of secrecy around it. Even more so that it's likely related to some sort of intelligence or combat missions.
I believe coroutines are mostly unrelated to RAII. One can still have coroutines in a single ownership world and guarantee destructors are called.

(If not, I have a lot of redesigning to do for Vale!)

Also, doesn't your mentioned problem also happen for full threads? I'd imagine they'd contend for those 10 connections no matter how you did your concurrency.
Hey, I'm responding to this a week later on the off chance you'll see it. "You are very much a part of that problem" doesn't sit well with me.

> They can’t even always produce functional code without heavy steering

Right, but you and I both can appreciate that it can produce functional code a lot of the time, sometimes with only light steering.

> let alone negotiate the fraught domain of psychological and psychiatric health.

I agree with you to a large extent. This is a sensitive area to operate in and introducing an unpredictable, unemotional, unwieldy language model into the loop has the potential for disastrous results.

>Foisting people in crisis off on unpredictable text generation engines...

I do not want this. I just want an additional option.

I personally have found relief through GPT-4. Despite its limitations, the LLM offers (the illusion of?) empathy, understanding, and clarity at a level that most mental health professionals simply do not. It helps me, and for that reason I know it can help others. An LLM isn't a substitute for healthcare, but it's absolutely a supplement.

I hope you'll reconsider your view and tone down the rhetoric.
Nice to see you back @coffeemug.
I haven't touched linear algebra for 10 years since data science jobs are hard to come by in my country, and data jobs are rarely outsourced. Really nice refresher and well written.
Btw, I have been trying to get ahold of you on signal. What platform you are active on these days.

> Instead of trying to bring down another technology (neural networks), how about you focus on making symbolic methods usable to solve real-world problems; e.g. how can I build a robust email spam detection system with symbolic methods?

I have two concerns. First, just after pointing out a logical fallacy from someone else, you added a fallacy: the either-or fallacy. (One can criticize a technology and do other things too.)

Second, you selected an example that illustrates a known and predictable weakness of symbolic systems. Still, there are plenty of real-world problems that symbolic systems address well. So your comment cherry-picks.

It appears as if you are trying to land a counter punch here. I'm weary of this kind of conversational pattern. Many of us know that tends to escalate. I don't want HN to go that direction. We all have varying experience and points of view to contribute. Let's try to be charitable, clear, and logical.
My policy is no phone until middle school (11). Even then I intend it to be strictly for family comms while away from home, no social media or texting with friends.

Re. FOSS the problem isn't the software, it's what they can access through it. Instagram, tiktok etc are horrible for self esteem, education, emotional growth.

Even with something as simple as a Kindle (which we don't restrict as much) I've had to drop Kindle unlimited because my kid was reading age inappropriate material on it. Children have very very poor impulse control and all that the online stuff does is basically exploiting that.

We show example by putting cell phones away at 8pm when at home and not using phones while eating.
As a follow-up on this comment, I wrote up[0] some more of my discoveries with regard to using nushell structured data pipes from other shells (e.g. bash).

Another variant to allow bash piping but preserving (most of) nushell's data type is with the use of `from/to nuon` commands rather than `from/to json`:

nu --stdin --commands 'ls | to nuon' | nu --stdin --commands 'from nuon | where size > 100MiB'

I also discovered an existing discussion[1] related to this topic which includes a link[2] to a "helper to call nushell nuon/json/yaml commands from bash/fish/zsh" and a comment[3] that the current nushell dev focus is "on getting the experience inside nushell right and [we] probably won't be able to dedicate design time to get the interface of native Nu commands with an outside POSIX shell right and stable.".

As mentioned, it searches embeddings of each sentence in the article. Maybe it could return the actual sentence that it found instead of the article title.

> Your child is not you. If your child thinks FOSS is cool, it's cool. If they think it is lame, you are being lame.

Yup, don't turn them into a pariah due to the color of chat bubbles (not having iPhone-colored bubbles was recently a major social problem for American teenagers). The color of a bubble might seem stupid to someone dealing with the issues of the adult world, but social issues is basically/hopefully the extent of problems that kids face.

That being said, parents have been successfully imparting values to their children for millennia. If you believe that using FOSS is important (I happen to agree) then you should have no issues convincing your child the same. Maybe they'll end up using Linux on their laptop, while prioritizing the color of chat bubbles on their phones. You can only give them the tools and knowledge to make the right choices, you can't make choices for them.
Showing up at peoples houses is a direct threat to them as individuals and their family. Their place of work is elsewhere. Your perception of how they do their job is just that, but it is still public service - that’s the definition of working for a public entity. If it is corrupt, then sue them. We have laws covering corruption already that don’t require intimidation by mobs.

To your continued edits: they should protest the school administration at the school administration building, or the schools, sue them in court, etc. But leave them and their families alone.
> The military has demonstrated you can easily maintain and operate them with a handful of 18 to 22 year olds.

No, they haven’t. Military reactors aren’t run by relatively junior enlisted personnel alone.
Probably the OCR as you said. Check the PDF, there's a highly stylized leading 'O'.
I’m happy to picket, which is generally done at the place of work. What does an angry mob yelling at their children and accosting them at home accomplish?
I don’t think scale (alone) is sufficient. All products and services in some way exist along a scale from niche product (which benefits from public infrastructure like roads that let it be delivered places) up to utilities (which can only exist by providing something approaching monopolistic grants and easements)

But I have been significantly persuaded by your point about the vast body of cultural work being its own sort of (more abstract) landscape of… “socio-human natural resource” … maybe is a not awful way to put it.

In which case I still don’t thing the same comparison to ISP’s applies, not quite, but I do think we need a new category and body of social norms and laws to deal with this.

Or at least that’s my first-pass take after reading your comment, which I am, again, very persuaded by to modify my views on the issues. Thanks for casting things in that light.
I had my best luck when I had recruiters looking for me, I got a good job off angellist once (is thst specialist?) and then one off the very generalist board of my local uni.
I agree that it running on mobile safari is incredible - I wouldn’t call the UI ‘usable’ though, it’s a straight duplicate of the desktop UI, which isn’t geared for mobile by any stretch of the imagination, and is actually unusable on my iPhone due to (I assume) far too small a clickable area for most controls.

A UI rework to incorporate mobile-friendly design would be a ton of effort, but it would really take this project to the next level!
> Two sides. One does not exist without the other. Russia vs NATO. NATO fired first shots trying to extend their reach and Russia is firing back. Ukraine is the coin.

I think this kinda of language takes agency away from countries like Russia, Russia chose to invade and was not forced by anyone, given the rhetoric in some of there now deleted articles I think theres evidence that it was for imperialistic reasons and not because of NATO.

After all NATO doesn't appear at all in the now deleted Russian media victory article.
> uses service that verifies their id

What did you think was happening with your transactions at your bank? Every transaction you make is being sold to data miners. And they’re not mining your memos - they’re looking at the companies your sending money to.
Yes, I mean those ones! The ones that end up in a closet somewhere because nobody replaces batteries in the middle of the night and the next morning you can't find the right batteries anyway.

Those ones.

Bad UI kills.
Better call Saul.
> People don't just decide to speak differently to feel different from their neighbors.

Actually, it seems that they do, when they don't get on with their neighbors for one reason or another. And this seems to be accelerated when they are geographically close to the neighbors they don't get on with.

So yeah, in 1000 years the US will likely have more diverse dialects (and actually, a very different form of english (or spanish). But that doesn't eliminate the cause for the highly variegated dialects in small regions like the UK. Time has something to do with it, but not everything.
> One guy I met said he privately imported (some of) the goods needed to build his home

Someone having their own home built in Singapore would have to be extremely wealthy. And the fact that shipping goods from Europe made any kind of economic sense suggests these were luxury goods.

So, yeah. I'm going to entirely discount this anecdote.
Yeah this doesn't make any sense
My father provisioned to me a Nokia brick phone around the age of 14 (circa 2008). It was a prepaid Tracfone, SMS messages counted towards minute usage so I had to learn to be conservative in my usage. I was eventually gifted an iPod touch, which I promptly jailbroke, and later installed Google Voice to text more freely (over WiFi). My father set strict boundaries when it mattered - he would only finance that which he endorsed.

I didn’t have custody over my own bank account or a debit card until I graduated high school. I purchased my first smartphone, a Google Nexus 4, and prepaid data plan after my first semester of community college (circa 2012).

The first iPhone was released in 2007 when I was 13. I’m 29 now. My family never had to confront the question OP prompted in a social climate like we have today and I’m thankful for that.

My father’s parenting style was fantastic but it wasn’t ideal (given that ideals are unattainable). But his handling of the phone situation is something I intend on recreating with my own children some day.
Things to look forward to in React Native
React Native has been developing rapidly in the last two years, though an exact roadmap from here has not yet been spelled out. Here I try to join the dots and speculate where we might be headed, by analysing the activities of a few key stakeholders.

As the author, I'd be happy to expand on anything!
I'd call it an image macro, but the Venn Diagram of memes and image macros is a 99.9% overlap, so we might as well not draw a distinction.

I've literally seen another commenter comment here on HN that chatgpt has given them more and better medical advice then their doctor. It's already happened probably and we don't know it.

Hello!

My name is Brandon, I'm a backend + platform developer with a little over 5 years of experience.

Most of that experience has been in "big data" SaaS platforms (most recently Datadog), but I'm happy to ditch the fancy stuff and just bring whatever pieces are most needed for a small or growing business -- while also being familiar with that fancy stuff, so we can know when we might need it. I've ranged all over the stack at each place I've worked so far -- data processing pipelines, workflow management, CI/CD, API frameworks, RPC, databases both transactional and analytical, AWS/GCP/Azure, and tons of observability of course. I'm versatile, learn new things fast, and I love to pitch in wherever help is needed (especially when things are on fire)!

Most importantly -- I care deeply not only about the quality of the work I do but also about my coworkers, and I strive to be awesome to work with and create a really open and psychologically safe environment. A work culture everyone can feel good about is my number-one priority.

In terms of what I'm looking for -- ideally a small/new company with less than 20 or so developers. Pluses for me would include an office where people work in person and an emphasis on sustainability/profitability (compared to just gobbling up investor money).

If you want to get to know me a little better before reaching out, feel free to check out my blog, I tend to post roughly 50/50 about technical stuff and work-culture stuff:

Looking forward to hearing from y'all, thanks for reading :)

Perhaps some here aren't familiar with the existence of a (relatively useless in my opinion) POV that pits symbolic systems against statistical methods. But it isn't a zero-sum game.
