>Indeed, it is doubtful that these mega-sized websites were intended by the original architects of the www. More likely, they may have imagined the web as a whole would grow (scale) as more people gained internet access.

This, I think, is roughly true but the issue is nuanced. The history of the web can be characterized by ever-decreasing barriers to entry. At first you needed a physical host and apache. Then, you could have a shared host and put html files in your user directory. Then, you could run wordpress. Then, you could sign up for myspace and never have to run anything. The 'like' is the smallest unit of content that can be captured by such systems. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, wikipedia, etc are what you get from this evolution.

The unexpected downside is that with reduced friction to content-creation, the content has become quite awful. In part because people are awful, but also because of money and how effective it is to hire people to say things using these systems. If the friction to create content remained high, it may have been a "better" internet in some measures. It would certainly be a much smaller one.

Who knows how it will turn out? I suspect that AI will have a significant impact on all these systems, to wit, injecting massive amounts of noise that will reduce their utility significantly, if not to zero. No empire lasts forever.
I'd say, whether this is a good or bad thing, will, as always, depend on the environment and what it demands from you. So, in a Darwinian way, the fit(ness) of those two.

If this secures your income and your environment is able to fill in for the more attentive parts, you're well set.

There are enough possible settings and helpful augmentations in our current society to survive and prosper with any kind of focus/attention distribution. Given they are applied to a somehow matching problem/problem space, this makes up much of this society's success.

So the most positive, and therfor naturally sympathetic, aspect of the post might be the happy acceptance of one's own configuration without the need dismiss that of others. While there has always been a tendency of generalist dismissing specialists and vice versa, the insight that we only (or at least much better) progress with the right combination should not be forgotten, even if we feel unsecure or a bit greedy
or envious when the opposite talent of ours was a much better fit for a certain situation, or position, again, and got all the praise this time. (Everything else will make you look Dunning-Kruger anyway.)

China has 1.4B people with a GDP per capita 1/6 as high as the US. There isn't any reason to think the average Chinese person will permanently keep producing 1/6th as much value as the average American. Chinese GDP growth is still about double the US at the moment.

By the 2030s the US national debt will reach about $50T. Interest payments could be up to $2T per year if rates stay high. That would be unsustainable. The US would have to either cut government expenses or increase inflation to deal with the debt, both of which would hurt GDP.

Both countries probably have negative outlooks in the short/medium term but I wouldn't bet against China simply due to their much larger population. Their population could start decreasing and aging but they will continue to have vastly more working age adults than the US for a long time to come.
"while every Netflix subscription comes with a games library accessed via the Netflix mobile app, it’s unclear how many subscribers even know that the games exist. "

They're not, tho. You have to go to the App Store or Google Play and install each game as normal - they're not streaming. The only difference from any other game is that these require you to login with an active Netflix subscription to play them.

There's also nothing I've ever seen in the Netflix app that even tells you these exist, so they obviously don't care if users even know about it.
I mean, I am discerning in that I have expectations that if I don't like the characters or topics or "moral tenor" (like in that it cares too much about being a moral bullhorn as opposed to faithfully representing that which it handles or has an opportunity to push the envelope further) or various other intangibles, I don't like+watch it.

In my view, your position is a tad elitist and I don't particularly care for the way it places you on an implicitly superior level of comprehension but also fundamental worth in the context of this discussion.

Arguably, I both in real-time and through the aformentioned repetition get to know the show and its constituent parts far better than you single-viewing "discerners" ever could. But yeah, you notice more even though you technically notice less.

I'm inclined to suggest that you are literally the quantity over quality viewer (ie: non-discerning) and I am in fact the quality over quantity since I view less discrete works but notice and derive a more refined level of enjoyment and recognition of the subtleties present in any given artistic production (and the artistic part is not something I'm going to argue with you about; its intangible and as worthlesz or priceless as the viewer subjectively evaluates)

So if I want to send an email from example.com, I have to add it to the sending profiles. This is fine, and usually done during initial setup. However, if I want to be able to send from a second domain, say, thisdomaindoesntexistasdadasd.com I need to go and add that seperatly for allow thunderbird to allow me to put it in the from addr. Further, when sending an email, I then have to select the domain from the drop-down, then edit. it's just tedious. Not impossible to work around, but also not worth the effort when the Fastmail UI handles it so much better.
Lag in a proportional feedback system results in oscillation. This is why the derivative term is added to get rid of it, to catch things before they overshoot. I don't think most of nature has a concept that maps to the derivative term, especially since "greedy" is usually the best option for short term survival.
So you’re saying that while online adults are finding themselves in increasingly radicalizing bubbles and echo chambers that isolate them from other points of view and even distort their sense of “truth” and “fact”, kids are somehow having the exact opposite experience in the same online world?

The internet does not seem to expose people to a “myriad of ideas” that challenge them. It lets them shop for the community that exactly aligns with their preconceptions and reduces their need to find compromise with the disagreeable meatbags that are physically around them. This is as true for teenagers as it is for adults, but it also steals from teenagers a traditional opportunity to learn critical mediation and coping skills.

In other words, it quite specifically coddles them and makes them grossly ill-prepared for adulthood in a diverse world riddled with small and large conflicts.

When I first read your comment, I was shocked when there was no “/s” at the end.
Teens literally put their (usually self diagnosed) conditions in their Instagram bios.

I principally wrote geophysics software with some time spent in the hangers tag teaming with real mechanics while working for an Australian survey company that was ultimately sold to Fugro.

At time of sale we hade 14 airframes, mostly fixed wing aircraft, some helicopters, all modified for survey work (stinger tail booms, looped EM field detectors, under slung drones, etc) and a perfect 20+ year air saftey record which Fugro didn't maintain - they had two aircraft down and some loss of life within a few years of aquisition.

Many of the planes were older high wing twin engine types (Shrikes, etc) - my personal favorite that was bought and modified in my time there was a NZ Cresco 750 designed for crop dusting

Elon Musk saved Tesla from ruin by promising self-driving cars. The problem?
Over the past decade, Hacker News has predicted approximately 15 of the past 0 Chinese economic collapses. In any thread about China, you have people shouting about underproduction due to demographics, grousing about their high youth unemployment, and also talking about over-production, and pointing at their ghost cities.

Alas, as all three of those very simple narratives are mutually incompatible, we find that year after year, China keeps growing.
From what I understand of this, what they mean when they say “social media” in this context is more like amped-up high school politics. It’s a platform for gossip, bullying, cliques-forming, etc.

If you’re thinking of the stress from that as a kind of training regiment, what would someone look like who thrives in that environment? What does success look like? Less coddled is an interesting take on that.
Waymo is definitely in the phase where they want to form a positive impression on all fronts: safety, convenience, price. Once widespread, it's possible that they'll charge more than Uber because of the extra privacy and safety in a Waymo ride.

> no human would be able to

_defensive driving has entered the chat_

Seriously, anyone here who rides motorcycles can pipe in, but some of us out there never assume anything on the road and thusly avoid a lot of trouble because of it. Assuming incorrectly is the root cause of probably 99.999% of accidents.
I believe the issue people are taking with this approach is there is no "non-blanket consent to search."

If you invite law enforcement into your home, and they find probable cause or evidence of another crime, then they get to use that to prosecute you.

You don't get to say "but I had an agreement they would only enter my house for the singular purpose of X."
There have been several times when I was working on triaging a customer reported bug where I wanted to ask for a HAR file (through customer support), but didn't, because I didn't want them sending me (or the support intermediary) their session cookies. And having the cookies wouldn't have helped me debug it.
It is however, interesting to me to confirm they are aware of other AVs and can sync with them, enable better safety, and potentially could optimize routing through traffic with the combined data. Imagine if the car in front could warn the car behind of an incident, enabling it to take action before a human driver would even be aware of the incident.
Yes. It can fairly quickly feel like you can’t breathe without it.
> * Cruise gets in an accident and stays in the road, passenger gets out and gets hit.

Waymo handles this by notifying riders when vehicles or cyclists are incoming near passenger exits.

You do you, but I'm here to learn about FSD. It looks like there was a public incident where FSD lunged at a cyclist. See, that's what I'm interested in, and that's why I asked if anyone knew about disengagement stats.
I would love to see one where somebody has added a remembrance, but all the restaurants I click on are empty.
Bias exists. But by removing the financial incentive from the definition of astroturfing, you make it useless when it comes to distinguishing from bias. Otherwise you turn it into "how many degrees of separation can I find to Waymos" and it gets infinitely tenuous.

I would agree that Waymo employees or shareholders shouldn't be commenting here without disclosing their affiliation. But that's a relatively small class: Googlers (and, increasingly tenuous, Xooglers) don't get paid by Waymo and don't get exposure to it through their GSUs. You can make the claim that Waymo's success adds to Google's brand prestige and has knock-on effects, and maybe that's true to some limited extent. But comparing that to being directly paid by the company to spread propaganda is quite the reach.
The bravest little tiger of them all!
Do you think they lied about miles driven in the investor presentation?

Nah, that would be illegal. Their statement leaves plenty of room for dirty laundry though. I'm sure they won't disclose disengagement data unless forced, but they have plenty of legal battles that might force them to disclose. That's why I'm asking around. I'd love to rummage through. Or, better, to read an article from someone else who spent the time.
Yes, Mother Nature has not accomplished anything of note.
First of all, they need to define what "harmful" is as quantifiable variable(s). Then the states in this case must prove that the contents from Meta are harmful in this context. Lastly, they need to prove there exists a statistical causal link from such "harmful" contents to the mental well-being of the children. Many parents kind of "sense" social media is harmful, but I don't see how they can "prove" that social media is really "harmful"

I particularly enjoyed identifying a validation tool that ignores the prototype as a feature, not a glaring failure to be a validation tool, and the initial plan to change that under the name of refactoring to avoid the whole semver change a number problem.

Meets my priors about the javascript ecosystem. I'm not totally sure whether this is satire.

The GitHub for "joi" looks like a product, claims "The most powerful data validation library for JS". Associated issues amount to "doesn't work" in various dimensions. Which might also be an elaborate joke about how javascript validation is invalid.

okay, reworded since you are allergic to that one word: negative expected value games of chance exclude people that value their time who may be a lot more skilled given the validation of their time.

this is a large population and there exists other incentive model for even better results. hopefully people sit down and consider competing incentive models that work for this specific market.

I agree with you in general, but regarding this specific phrase in this specific context:

> Governments took advantage of the extreme fear created after the 9/11 attacks to pass these absurd laws.

Unless I misunderstand the legislative history, the law that was used here (Schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000) dates from July 2000, so before 9/11.

Still part of the same trend as what happened after 9/11, of course, but we shouldn’t pretend 9/11 was the beginning of this, especially not in the UK.
It still was correlated with quality to a degree. Most celebrities and notable people or businesses are not going to post their fart schedules or any other kind of similar garbage. This worked as a good heuristic, because even if it missed the highest-quality posters, it would still beat the average Twitter poster by a wide margin.
I only spent 3/4 of my post adding caveats, geez. Thanks for the first hand intuition, though.
Evn if they fall to 800mil people, that is still more than 2x more than USA. The level of education in China far exceed USA. Scientific output also exceed USA right now. Then just niched output in AI already surpassed USA just a week ago. You go to any mart in USA, easily 60% stuff come from China. You look in ANY American colleges, you will find "East Asians" a lot even more so in Ivy Leagues. By 2050, we will all acknowledge China is the new USA even if their population drop by half. Look at Japan, their 100m dwindling to 80m still so dominant. You multiply that by 10x and with added ruthlessness in business competition. Hard not to see China gdp NOT exceeding USA in 5-10yrs time. As for economic free fall, USA is due for a super motherload big one. Since it has bigger economy, the fall would be bigger as well. I put my money on China especially now since things it is way cheaper there. Even Tesla look like dwarf when you compare to BYD in China (and they havnt largely tackle market outside China).
The arrest of Michael Spavor was in retaliation from the US detaining Meng Wanzhou over similarly flimsly charges. It's not something that was done at random or as a show of force. If a chinese national came to the US with a gun accidentally I wouldn't advise them to trash it in the bathroom because Meng Wanzhou was detained once.

>How could they possibly link it to a passanger?

The serial number. Unless the state senator is holding an unregistered gun I can't imagine it would be difficult to link it to him. And if is traveling with an unregistered gun, then he's already knowingly breaking the law; and he might as well break more laws.
I’ll definitely add a list with the latest remembrances! Thanks for the suggestion.
When a restaurant closes that is functionally identical to every other franchisee, like an Applebees, Olive Garden, Burger King, etc., it doesn't need a remembrance because you can just go to a different one. Like, if there are twelve identical clones of you when die, is it really an occasion for mourning?

> 14-16 year old children to have sex with adults.

> change the law so pedos..

> pedophilia is legal in most of Europe.

Sorry, but this language is imprecise and intentionally deceptive. The biological definition of "child" is that of an individual between birth and puberty- i.e. an individual who hasn't reached biological sexual maturity.

A pedophile is someone who is attracted to prepubescent individuals, below the age of 13. Someone attracted to sexually mature teenagers is not, technically, a pedophile, whatever moral panic Americans might display about it. Don't get me wrong, I agree it's, well, seriously questionable. But, as EU law recognizes, it depends on the circumstances, the age difference between those involved, etc- it's not a clear cut case of being sick monsters.
Sorry but this just comes off as completely out of touch to me. Yes, I agree that there would be a legal case to charge someone in such a scenario. But what actually happens, at least in NYC, is that the cops and prosecutors will bend over backwards to give a driver the benefit of the doubt.

Correct. If they were having the same experience, I'd expect opposite results to Alternative #13 (see article). Given that's not the case, I have to conclude that adults and children do not indeed share that experience.

The coddling pattern of behavior describes people who encountering ideas that made them feel bad, react by wanting distance themselves from that idea. We seem to have a case where kids are encountering things that make them feel bad and Haidt is making a case for distancing kids from it? Makes no sense.
