the reality in china is that in the older generations not many people are educated because they simply didn't have the opportunity. nevertheless they still push their children to study and take advantage of opportunities given to them.

If brush my teeth, then I floss, bits of food still come out from between my teeth (they're quite tightly spaced). I don't need an academic study to confirm whether or not the flossing is helpful (unless you're disputing the causal link between food residue and tooth decay)
I agree, it is annoying. But it's also your utility's choice. Complain to them about it or choose a different provider if you can?

Security and convenience are always tradeoffs. I think 2FA is annoying as heck too (much prefer passkeys these days), or ridiculous password requirements, email passwordless login, etc., but those are all choices some admin or manager made on behalf of their business.
Look at the history of 3dfx . They were up there with envidia at the dawn of 3D graphic cards wars. But bad logistics brought them down.

Mainly they decided to manufacture their tech here in Mexico instead of in Asia. But here on Mex we dont have the skills to to such high tech manufacturing.
Hilarious.

Yeah, that’s exactly the one I was thinking about when I wrote that. The normalisation of furry content as part of technical content is not a trend I’m looking forward to.
Absolutely a lot of it is forced at the district or school level. I had a friend who decided they didn't want to teach because of the policies they encountered student teaching (and partly the apathy and behavior of students). I have another friend who will only teach at private schools, even if they pay less for similar reasons.
We can't intrinsically estimate probabilities well. We are more worried about child abduction than a kid getting killed by a car.
I think they're talking about the notorious room in the NYC school system where the dozens of teachers that have been declared unsuitable for teaching in any capacity, but who are unfireable, are forced to log their days.

They sit and do nothing, in a barren and unpleasant environment, and the school system hopes they'll quit.

> If you look up academic studies on flossing they nearly all say the same thing, it doesn’t prevent cavities more than brushing and the studies normally end with “well flossing isn’t hurting anything so might as well keep doing it”.

That’s actually a misrepresentation of the studies. It gets pushed by journalists because contrarian “doctors are wrong” takes are very popular, especially when they tell people what they want to hear.

The issue with flossing is that it’s hard to rigorously study over the duration needed to provide significant results. You also can’t really construct a study where you ask one cohort to not study for a couple decades to see if they do worse, because that has ethical concerns. So we’re left with self-reported flossing activity retrospectives. The problem with those is that people who floss tend to have better hygiene and self-care overall, so now we can’t isolate flossing as the reason for better dental health over a lifetime.

> In the studies that do show flossing helps against cavities they are about professional flossing and not self flossing.

This is an example of what I’m talking about: There are studies out there that show positive benefits of flossing, but if you find someone aggressively searching for reasons to discredit flossing then they’ll always find a reason to dismiss the evidence. When the goal becomes to be contrarian or to disprove something, you can always find a reason to dismiss the studies.
Interesting how focused the software is for the intended audience. It's doing full 3D modelling with constructive solid geometry as other CAD software does, but it limits its scope to only those features and functions useful to someone making 3D illustrations. This focus and being web-based should make it a no-brainer for many.
In what scenario is climate change removing humans from the planet? If we cannot handle/manage/remove a mere 2-3 degree increase (which is about the current trajectory), sooner or later natural variation will doom us.

The great filter might very well be the unwillingness to consider more than mono-thematic solutions mixed with doomsterism, though.

I have ~350 tabs open across 12 thematically titled FF windows. I am not complaining about the # of open tabs - my complaint is that stock browsers suck and that I have to install a bunch of extensions from random sources to get to workflow happiness.

If you have more than 12 tabs open concurrently, vertical tabs are a hard requirement. There isn't even a workable vertical tabs solution for Chrome or Safari. Ironically, Edge and Orion have it out of the box. At least Mozilla has validated Sidebury, but they still make it a big pain to turn off the damn default horizontal tabs.

The discussion focuses on AI generation, but shitty CG humans have been possible for a very long time. This seems to just be a lousy and maybe less expensive effort for CGI actors, but not AI generated actors?

It does indeed seem like a bad idea overall, especially given the current climate. I just don't have any reason to assume generative AI was involved.
True enough. I've thought before it'd be good to cache and mirror YouTube videos as they're watched, and then provide them through IPFS with an index that's shipped around so people can pre-filter their searches and page hits against that index first. Lots of work, obviously. More than I have time for, alas. But I'm confident that'll happen eventually.
It’s broken for us but I would argue it isn’t for google, they cash in on advertising handsomely and that what they only care about. If they noticed a trend they thought was not okay they easily could have done something about it. They didn’t.

Nowadays they’re cracking down on ad blockers on youtube, because that’s what they care about: ads
Using likenesses of a person is different than creating CGI extras in the background. They're not using anyone's likeness with background actors.

And where would the NO FAKES Act draw the line? Would the studio be unable to create hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a battle? What if the soldiers were humanoid aliens or robots?
Be careful with very high doses of vitamin D supplements if you have a family history of heart disease - over the long term it can increase calcium buildup elsewhere as well, which can damage the heart (amongst other things).

On the topic of toothpaste, I developed a reaction to SLS - Sodium Laurel Sulfate. That's when I switched to Sensodyne, because it doesn't contain SLS. For awhile, Sensodyne was a problem and I began using Baking Soda. Then returned to Sensodyne after a few weeks.

Before this sensitivity, someone asked if I whitened my teeth because they were whiter. Using an electric toothbrush changed the color of my teeth for the better.

I'm just commenting so I can find this again, as it pithily exemplifies a certain type of argument (prevalent here, but also elsewhere) that is also performed unconsciously: the meaningless application of some kind of principle in favor of actual reality.

There are now more than 8 billion people on this planet. And many (though not as many as you might think) billions before that.

Not a single one of them has ever decided, "Fuck it, this might give me 2 days of violent vomiting and involuntarily shitting liquid, but our HEALTH CARE system will cover so WHOO HOO YOLO BABY!!!"

In a dental office they would squeeze quite a lot into the tooth trays and have it sit on your teeth for 3 mins or so, much like a fluoride treatment.

At home, put some on your finger and rub it on the front and back of your teeth, let sit for 3 mins.

Rinse it off after that time, no eating or drinking for at least 30 mins after.
It sounds like the author didn't even attempt to teach their children how to read prior to entering 1st grade, due to the "unspoken contract between public schools and parents is that schools will teach their children to read."

Seems nuts to me, I thought the unspoken contract is that parents read to their kids at night and teach them to read at the same time. I guess the author thinks only rich parents can do that (come on now..)
Does the canadian version say "thank you" after you brush with it ?
No, far from it. My point is that the Korean alphabet (essentially 24 symbols, arranged into syllables) is easy enough to learn in a day or two, so that clueless foreigners, such as me, can begin to sound out road signs and menus quickly, without a clue usually to what it means. By contrast, the disconnect between the Roman alphabet and the English sounds it encodes is a mess. We need a more rational alphabet tailored directly to English phonemes.
I’d say that’s still a contributing factor.
TI kinda sorta helped start BeagleBoard. The founder of BeagleBoard was a former TI sales or applications engineer. TI has always had a strong hand in BB hardware design because it’s effectively a reference design for them.

My parents tried to teach me to read at an early age, and it was a disaster. When I was about five the skill pretty much emerged, full formed and unprompted. I jumped from not reading at all to reading full novels in a few months.

This pattern of me being incapable of learning pretty much anything from my parents continued for the rest of their lives. :-/
Code Review Rewards: Journey of Integrating Gitlab through Automated Hooks
Modern hospitals are designed to run ‘offline’ from infrastructure such as water, electricity and sewer for a period of time, typically a few days. When there’s a major disaster (earthquake, hurricane, terrorist attack) these services can fail at the exact time that hospitals see a flood of injured people.

I haven’t specifically looked into internet but I’d be surprised if they were unable to provide care with a down internet connection.

Thank you for the link, appreciate the read and the nuance is important and I don't at all believe in the fundamentalist view on either side. I'm in complete agreement that threatening someone with massive legal ramifications is not good, but I do believe that people who make things of value should be able to do so with proportionate recourse to law to protect their livelihood. Law is, of course, made (or at least moulded) by those with money/influence so weighing the proportionality is the issue.
If you could do serious damage to yourself only eating once a day we would've died out hundreds of thousands of years ago.
My favorite story about Viterbi encoding is that apparently they launched the Voyager probe with a Viterbi encoder even though at the time there wasn't a computer on Earth capable of decoding it in real time (encoding is less computationally intensive than decoding). Years later they remotely switched over to Viterbi to enable higher bitrates.
> sooner or later natural variation will doom us.

Correct, but we have managed to convert "later" to "significantly sooner".

The fact that eventually the climate would have changed unfavorably anyway at some unknown point in the future is no reason to be comfortable with humans inducing an unfavorable change right now. That's like saying there's no point in getting an oil change because the car engine is going to wear out eventually anyway. or like saying you might as well smoke and drink as much as you want because everyone dies at some point.

Well, it has grown quite a lot since the early days so that inevitably makes it a target for some groups.
Mesh networks are a thing, but 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz aren't great carrying signals long distances or over the horizon. They're only really practical in densely populated areas, which tend to have wifi and cell already. Useful in mass protests and stadiums, maybe, but not so much out in the country...

WiMax can help a bit, but those have powerful stationary transmitters.

Fundamentally I don't think it's so much the particularly transmission scheme used that matters here, but just the amount of power it takes to send data over distance when it's not relayed by a stationary base station.
In Firefox anyway there’s a feature to “bookmark all open tabs” which I use for this scenario. It creates a bookmark folder with everything you have open.

Yea assuming muzzle velocity 1000m/s and 3kg projectile weight and 6000kg aircraft weight, conservation of momentum would put the slowdown at 0.5m/s, hardly noticable at cruising speed I think. Though the jerk would most likely be noticable.

The framing is guaranteed to draw downvotes because many here are doing all they can to resist enshitification, even within FAANG, but unfortunately large corporations will always bend towards profits and the average consumer will always bend towards cheap and convenient. At the end of the day it’s extremely difficult to see what any individual (even the business folks) can really do to effect broad change. Some systemic change would be necessary, but it’s hard to see what changes would lead us in the right direction, especially given the inherent corruptability of incentives in any human-instituted system.
I recall that same color-coded SRA system. I remember doing well at it (climbed to "higher" color levels than many in the class), but I can't say how much it did to teach me, as opposed to measure where I already was.

The three things that did help me a lot were 1) my mom taught me the alphabet before I started kindergarten[0], 2) Dr. Seuss books (first text I was able to read on my own was the The Zax from his Sneetches book[1] after having it read to me a number of times, along with other illustrated stories) and 3) lots of reading material around the house, from Golden Book encyclopedia to Life/Look magazines and newspapers.

So I guess that does support the family & environment effect.

Interesting correlation. I suppose the planet can't handle all the exponential growth and resource consumption caused by unlimited credit.

I mean it may at first but the body is good at adapting to changes like this for long term (Keto diet is an excellent example of this). Besides I will still be eating carbohydrates (simple and complex) just one time a day but not in the same quantity as 3 meals a day. Reserves of sugar are also stored in the liver in case the body is really desperate for it.
Some already realized that. For USA companies, the problem with Asia, India, and even East Europe is timezones.

I used to work at a US company that had offices here in Mexico and had a GREAT QA team in India (despite the hatred they get here in HN, Indian techies are GOOD! ) .

The TZ problem is what ended up fracturing the relationship between the teams . Us/Mexico teams synergy was just great, while Indians were generally disconnected.

But yeah, US and Canada companies that turn to LatAm do get an "unfair advantage". I'm slowly but steadily trying to help this happen. Sorry?

>a skill that they have most likely learned by now. And if they can’t collaborate remotely, they may not be a good fit for a remote company.

Those are both good points.

To the first, you really can't look at it through a "when I was a boy" lens. A lot of things are different with respect to communications today, especially those who went through school during the pandemic. Even outside of work, although I certainly still get together with people, I find that a lot of the time, we're quicker to setup a zoom call rather than go to someone's house or travel to some meeting.

And, it's a bit harsh, but you're also right with your second point. Maybe (assuming the company has decent practices) if remote doesn't work for them as an intern or other new hire, they may not be a good fit if that's also going to be the primary mode of work going forward.
Does "bleacher actor 847" actually lend credible experience to getting bigger roles? If I'm putting someone in front of a scene, I don't really think I'm going to care that they've had more or less experience in the background amongst a sea of a thousand other people.

Maybe it depends on where in the US one lives, but speaking decent Spanish has come to be really useful to me pretty frequently. And it's always been very rewarding in those moments when it has. It's not an every day thing, but at least once a week I find myself in a situation where having Spanish was definitely useful, if not required.
That is far less frequent, maybe once a year or so does it feel "required", but then it's been especially rewarding to have it.
