I think this paints an inaccurate picture. I have many West Indian family friends who also grew up in Brooklyn during this period. Education was emphasized in those households. Finding success or not was largely a factor of who successfully avoided contact with the NYPD. Note that I don't say, "Avoided crime." It was simple contact with law enforcement that made the difference; people did fine on their own, but finding oneself in the crosshairs of an apparatchik often lead to derailment.

So it goes through the American ages: an ancestor was forced to abandon a successful contracting business in South Carolina under threat from white supremacists. Family farms that couldn't receive Farm Bureau financing languished. Developers with visions of gentrification bought family brownstones for pennies on the dollar as Silent elders faced end-of-life costs and Boomers reeled from the Dotcom Bust. Both of my parents struggle under student debt loads from the 80s. It is likely that my grandfather was only able to access GI Bill benefits because he was nominally able to pass as white.

One starts to wonder if systems and institutions are designed to exploit users who aren't made aware of particular loopholes; and yet, to not avail oneself of those "resources" is to be kneecapped by lack of access to advantages other Americans take for granted.

It was once said that the purpose of racism is to distract. We agree that focus is necessary, but to say that "culture" and "drive" are the sole inputs in regards to the maintenance of that focus is to be incredibly naive. An immigrant family is partially forgiven for not having the requisite cultural memory of US history needed to understand this, at least.
>Funding of the arts certainly does reduce a population's tolerance for mind-numbingly expensive and stupid wars.

Not convinced about that. Athens and Renaissance Italy were both hugely centres for the arts, but also fought plenty of wars.
From what I've seen those at the bottom are too busy surviving to be politically active. Exceptions do exist, though most of those I knew still worked as much as they could to secure a less stressful life for themselves and family.

The middle class is sold on the dream that two cars, a house, and kids make you rich. And any day now you'll get bigger/more of all of that -- if you just work harder and more. Just don't look behind the curtain, that's above your station.
I have been using Dr. Jen's Super Paste: https://drjennatural.com/products/dr-jen-super-paste-with-na...

I landed on this one out of all the N-Ha brands because it also has flouride. Also, it doesn't have SLS, which I feel good about.

I used to need Sensodyne to manage tooth sensitivity. I would go out of my way to buy Canadian or UK Sensodyne with Novamin, since the Novamin formulations aren't sold in the U.S. However, Jen's has eliminated the tooth sensitivity without needing a numbing agent like Sensodyne, which was surprising to me.

I've stuck with Jen's even though it's more expensive. I can't speak to whether it's strengthened my enamel appreciably, but my teeth feel much better.

I disagree, but probably because we have different definitions of "good".

To me, "good" means quite high quality. Like an expert sharing their thoughts in their niche. If you wish to use these thoughts, they will be very reliable and correct.

If you consider "good" to be anything that is not "bad" or "harmful", then I would be more inclined to agree with you.

My niche of tech is full of hobbyists and enthusiasts who want to participate in it - it's a part of the video games industry. And there is a very large amount of misleading knowledge on Reddit. Of course, even misleading knowledge can push people generally in the right direction, so I don't see the discourse as harmful. But I also don't see it as of particularly high quality. It might be "good" on some terms, or "neutral" on others.

With hockey skates - I'm not an expert. But I would expect that the recommendation on Reddit won't have to do with materials, blade quality, ankle support, footbeds, tongue design, heat moldability, weight distribution, holders and runners, energy transfer, foot health features and similar things that you could find on expert forums. I would expect that the recommendation would be based on entry-level things, like what feels good, or what brand is popular. This is not to say that this advice has no value. There is value. But they might not consider how materials might limit skill growth, how there is a knowledge gap in fit assessment in most new skaters, or how different skates protect the skater's feet from injury.

There is value in some advice, just not enough to consider it "good", in my opinion. Others might have different opinions.

For example, early versions of GPT would effectively treat the string “SolidGoldMagikarp” as a random word. It was the username of a prolific poster on the /r/counting subreddit, which consists entirely of posters counting upward. This subreddit was excluded from the training data for being useless, but was still used in making the tokenizer. As a result, the string “SolidGoldMagikarp” was a single token with no training data about it.

This was later fixed by updating the tokenizer, but it demonstrates the importance of clean datasets at all stages.

I'm aware of that header, but respecting it is voluntary, which is highly unlikely to work if there is a strong monetary incentive not to comply.

It's also pretty coarse. I may want to allow a site I like to collect analytics to help them out, I may even want a search engine to keep track of my behaviour to give me better results. Just an on/off, where IE has set the default to off, was never going to work.
So, I think we can agree that we don't have to just choose one method for improving the lives of low-income people. At the same time, it is true that some ways are more effective at producing results than others. Should we try to raise wages? Yes! Should we try to drive down costs? Yes!

That being said, if I had to choose, I think I would prefer to increase my income instead of decreasing the cost of items I had to purchase. (Of course, both would be best!) Lower cost items only benefit me, if I need to purchase them. With an increased income comes an increased set of options for how to deploy that income.

I do mute, yes, and have considered a script that would recognize and mute automatically, but my abilities are not that good. When an ad plays I hit the mute button on my keyboard and engage with something else until the ad has stopped.

Follow the communities that actually develop Mastodon software, run instances, and oversee the federation. There is such an overlap between them and trans-as-subculture that, as Mastodon has grown and brought in wider society, there have even been concerns voiced that the “original trans vibe” of Mastodon is going to get diluted. If you don’t care about trans issues and are interested instead in a nerd culture where identity, fashion, personal grooming, the body, etc. are irrelevant and the focus is solely on computing or other obsessive hobbies, then it’s easy to feel like you don’t fit in on Mastodon.

As for politics on Mastodon, if you follow the daily top posts, a good half of them will be on political issues in a small handful of countries. It is no different from any for-profit social network.

> That doesnt mean that the content of the internet is usless, but it is now buried under 3 pages of useless SEO blubbe

Personally, I stopped posting some useful findings in forums and other places. Why bother, when the sites are zombified or enshittified?

Also, I used to write small tech articles for a hard hitting PC hardware site. Garbage SEO (and Youtube) ran the whole site out of business.

I am a sample size of one, but this feels like a microcosm of what's happening to the web. Some of that good content is dying.
It depends on the injury itself and what you are recovering. In my case I had a meniscus surgery so for 2-3 weeks I couldn't use much of that leg. But in the app you can detail your limitations and adjust it to your own case, it will adapt the exercises to your own inputs.

Probably if you haven’t really learned how to read the result section, then it’s better to read the abstract, introduction and then skip to the discussion/conclusion. If you don’t really understand the method or results though, it’s harder to know if what you’re reading is pure bullshit.

I actually had to be taught how to read and understand the results sections of research papers and I would rate my current skills at like a real basic level, and only in psychology where I have a basic understanding of the descriptive statistics, effect sizes, correlations, regressions and a basic understanding of factor analysis. I’m still actually working on having a deep enough level of understanding that I could critically analyse a research paper.

There’s other ways to ascertain whether a paper is garbage, like if it was published in a journal with a low impact factor and a high acceptance rate for publication - that can be an indication, but really unless you can understand the lingo and the sometimes very mathematical results section it can be quite hard to know if what your reading is worth the time of day.

He's not, it's the magical thinking "pulling yourself by your own bootstraps" when reality is that my kid is going to have a better outcome than the average Latino immigrant because both of his parents is college level educated, speak multiple languages and live in a well off zipcode, even though both me and his mother were poor back in Brazil.

It's sad to see people write off whole populations like this, "all the other immigrants that weren't european or asian", as if all africans and latinos are stupid and not that they didn't have any references of people that went to college or were educated and did well. Completely ignoring the environment these people came from.

I definitely recommend the work of professor Raj Chetty on the subject: https://rajchetty.com/

He talks a lot about how even growing up in a community with great role models (doesn't even have to be your own parents) affects the outcomes for kids because they get to KNOW there are other options.

When I got to college I had no idea I could move to another country by being a programmer, then a friend moved to Australia and I was like WAIT, I CAN DO THAT AS WELL? Most of my plans back then were to move to Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro to find a well paying job but that single friend that moved to another country completely opened over the world to me.
As I already replied to an adjacent comment, the execution includes designing in those network effects and maintaining/modifying them over time. It also includes the moderation, marketing, operations, etc. It's literally everything beyond just the idea.

Furthermore, in no way have I stated nor implied that I expect an alternative must be implemented by a single person. I think your least charitable interpretation of my comment is wildly silly.
> Build software faster in an editor designed for pair-programming with AI

Isn't it known that what takes the most time (in software engineering) is to understand a given business problem, decompose it in manageable chunks that can be worked in parallel, then provide a solution for each chunk, and then maintain such a solution? Using the IDE to write the actual code, sure, it needs to be done, but it's rather the part that takes the least amount of time. So, if any their slogan "Build software faster in an editor designed for pair-programming with AI" is rather misleading. I actually spend more time reading code with my IDE than writing code.

Funny enough, LLMs are actually for the very first time challenging Google’s utility as a knowledge engine.

I see more and more Non-techie people asking ChatGPT about receptors or locations instead of Google.

Also, if there’s anything that I need to research and it’s not a general knowledge stuff but something like “How long I can travel with a EU registered car in Turkey” I will use Bing Chat, Perplexity or ChatGPT. I gave up Google already, it’s just too much spam and low quality content that I have enough incentive to break my usual workflow and habits and try LLMs.

I’m sure Google is doing great monetarily with search as if everything is garbage Ads are quality content but the technology to bypass both the ads and garbage is here.

Nitpick: this is true of the GDPR, not the earlier Cookie Directive. The GDPR is incredibly well-written, and contains all the benefits you stated.

The Cookie Directive was (1) much more limited in its scope, applying only to cookies and not to any other method of tracking, (2) much more limited in its compliance, requiring an explicit notice even for strictly-necessary uses, and (3) much more limited in its consumer-protection, only requiring informing the consumer and not requiring consent.

The GDPR improves on all of these, but there’s a lot of conflation between the two.
C# has boolean pattern-matching (and library functions with TryXYZ names) as a solution to this kind of issue. For instance:

while (Console.ReadLine() is string line &&
int.TryParse(line.Trim(), out int number))
{
Console.WriteLine($"{line} is {number}");
}

This loop can be interrupted by ReadLine() returning null (failing the pattern-matchi as string line) or by int.TryParse returning false.
The UX of Cursor is the best I’ve experienced so far. GitHub Copilot Chat has been released in beta, but the experience isn’t as good. The context and the real-time code diff make a huge difference.
Do you have a link?

Twelve years ago, this wasn't even a thought in the back of my head, and I bet those in the SEO industry never thought Google would let things deteriorate to such an extreme.

Wow, in that particular respect he lives in relative paradise. On the San Francisco peninsula, this service does not exist, and as far as I’m aware no level of wealth short of hiring a private doctor will make it appear. There are emergency rooms (some of which are fairly nice as such things go), and San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland appear to have a small number of genuine urgent care clinics. Otherwise… nothing.

Going to the ER for an ear infection is not usually a go-in-and-quickly-handle-it experience.

This is really interesting to me because D helps in Calcium and Phosphate (building blocks of enamel) absorption, and K2 helps in using them to build bone. If they really were the only culprit in ridding you of your sensitivity than that means your body regenerated Enamel on its own. n=1 aside your comment gives me renewed faith in the human body.

What brand of K2 and Vitamin D did you use?
Utilitarianism assumes we have all the facts, yet we never do. We talk of "saving" lives but that's incorrect: no life is ever "saved"; the inevitable moment of death can be postponed a little -- and with unforeseeable consequences.

Utilitarianism and its more recent avatars like "effective altruism" intends to replace moral questioning with math from elementary school. The world doesn't work that way. Never has, never will.

(It's also quite perverse, because there's this underlying assumption/insult that if you're not utilitarian, then it means you don't quite understand that 5>1, and therefore you're beyond stupid and shouldn't be part of the conversation.)

I am on disability. I had to live in a van after COVID hit because I got kicked out of my apartment because they were afraid of me giving them COVID and rental prices became insane and I had no money for first, last and deposit. Yeah, many places want three months rent up front to move in.

The one thing I appreciate RESIDENT CONTRARIAN explaining is about the housing situation. People would always point to rentals that cost $800 a month and say "Why don't you live there?" Then I take them on a tour and they see why I choose not to move in.

I am sorry for the suffering that many will go through if this happens, but the only thing I have to look forward to is an economic recession in the hope that it will lower the barrier to entry for housing.

So for now I just pretend I am renting my van for $600 a month and I throw that money into it for upkeep. I am just grateful I have no drug issues or family to worry about.

I never understood people writing as there were, or are, no alternatives. For ad professionals perhaps or for content providers. Of any quality. But as a consumer all I needed to leave Goog was to try a few other search engines and settle on the one returning results closest to what I wanted. Then tapped Settings > Safari > Search Engine and made my choice. Years ago now.

You are correct! I was fantasizing how a bad GPT answer could look like, similar to the errors that were in the answers to my prompts to GPT-3.5 for imagemagick. These prompts where precise and in good faith, with some rounds of clarification.

I am sure newer GPT versions will do better, and I think for a tool as ubiquitous as git the answers from ChatGPT would have been perfectly fine too.

Just wanted to illustrate why I wouldn't mske it a habit to ask it factual questions.

The "lost two commits" answer was meant as whimsy joke. More realistic scenarios are more boring of course.

E.g. memorizing wrong explanations for solutions that happen to work, or accepting wrong answers as fact when it's inconsequential for the short term acceptance of the answer.

The same thing easily happens with Google's knowledge snippets they extract from search results.
