> But if people are self-reporting that they are happier, well, life is tough enough already and there's no reason that people should just be miserable

That's a fair point and in some ways this might be a good option. But especially for relationships this seems like a massive danger zone to me. I already know a lot of singles in their late twenties, early thirties that have a hard time finding a partner because their expectations are far too high and their ability to adjust to another human too low. Adding these fantasies with perfect partners fitted to their specific personality is going to supercharge that and make it nigh impossible to find a human to match that.

You can obviously still make the argument that, if it makes them happy, it's fine, but users of hard drugs are also flooded in good feelings and society generally agrees that this is a problem at some point. Now, I know this is a daring comparison, but I think when we're at the point that people have their closest relationship with an AI chatbot, there might be serious social problems brewing.
Yes it helps with KYC, but it also helps with fake accounts. People/groups that want to do fraudulent activity on Google have many of pre-created accounts to do their various schemes. It likely helps limit that.

Plus, if an account is associated with a phone number, it will help with account takeover issues.
Yeah I think you're right now that I think about it some more
How you define "non-violent" depends on how much you sympathize with the cause. From the article:

'Political scientist Gene Sharp listed 198 methods of non-violent direct action, and climate activists have drawn on many of them. Not only do protesters march in the streets and sit in public squares, but they also march slowly, throw food or paint and block roads or access to buildings and pipeline projects. They might also disrupt sporting and cultural events, disrobe in public, block the distribution of newspapers and even engage in hunger strikes and self-immolation.'

One doesn't. That's just NPR's insane interpretation of "reserving a right" meaning that your data is definitely going to be deleted on a per-service basis. If they ever started actually doing it, there would be multiple notifications over months if not years about "your data in service X will be deleted unless you do Y".

"Bull indeed. He described them like this: "Maybe the stripes are like bands of crystals, maybe like rings of Saturn, though not far out like that. Very close within the atmosphere."

As it happens, the rings of Jupiter are very far out from the planet.

His description was nothing but rank generalities and bet hedging. Ice crystals in Jupiter's atmosphere were already predicted to be there, and him describing them as "bands of crystals, maybe like rings of Saturn" is bet-hedging at its worst. He made an educated guess that ice crystals appear in bands, and gave a carefully crafted sentence that could be interpreted as "right" regardless of whether actual rings were found. Rings found? Then pay attention to the "...like rings of Saturn..." part. No rings found? Then pay attention to the "...Very close within the atmosphere..." part. Regardless of which way it goes, try to convince people your meaningless declaration means something after the fact.

Ingo Swann is the worst sort of fraud."

You should read William James's lecture 'The Moral Equivalent of War'. He was a founder of the anti-imperialist league and a pacifist, but recognized the benefits of war for a society (joint effort galvanizes a people together). He proposed we conduct "war on nature", which we would call "disaster relief" nowadays.

I agree, for melanoma that seems more plausible, and UV imaging of drivers faces commonly reveals large difference in UV skin damage on the driver side, although this doesn't do much to explain the higher occurrence on the "trunk", unless either more people than I think like to drive naked, or melanoma is part localised to source of damage and part not? They also mention the UK at one point, and we drive on the opposite side, with the opposite side of the driver exposed. It's not clear from the article which countries are and are not included in the left side bias, I cannot find their sources.

They also annoyingly skip over whether or not Japanese commonly sleep on their sides, because I suspect that could have a larger affect than any miniscule electromagnetic standing waves on some springs. If you've ever slept on a futon, you will know they are far less squishy, they are plenty comfortable, but do not deform as much, so you are more likely to end up sleeping on your back.

Sleeping on your side could cause increased compression of soft tissue due to less equally distributed weight, especially on the hips and arms, which affects blood circulation, which can cause tissue damage, which can cause cancer (especially when the damage is chronic).

... but that's just a tiny seed of a theory, there are so many co factors with cancer, and comparing accross entirely different cultures it's basically impossible to tell anything from some correlation. Another huge area that massively affects cancer and pretty much all disease is diet, and the common western diet is far from healthy compared to Asian diets.

You missed the joke. It's been so long now since HL2 that the joke is to find any implication of "3" (or even work back to three via vague associations between random things) and say "HL3 Confirmed!".
Of course that would be the best solution. It is just that these are risk-averse and socially shy men who tended to either not go to the school dance or if they did were glued to the walls, not getting picked by any girl and not in possession of enough testicular fortitude to go and ask one because (shock and horror) she might (would) say no and start giggling with her friends about that "weirdo" wanting to dance with her.

Fast forward a decade and there was #MeToo which meant that even glancing at a woman could get them ostracised for being the creeps they already thought they were while those girls from school put up Tinder profiles where they all competed for the top 10% of men - looks like a movie star, makes a zillion $currency_units, might be a bastard who already has a number of girls but that doesn't matter.

These ´AI girlfriends' and 'AI boyfriends' (I guess those exist as well) are just another sign of the way dating and sexuality have been dehumanised, commercialised and in some ways ideologically weaponised.

If this is what the sexual revolution has brought us it is time to rethink the premise of the concepts. In some ways that is already happening - viz. the 'trad wife' phenomenon - but the real solution would be to find a way to retain the good bits from said sexual revolution while getting rid of the parts which led us [1] to where we are now. Something which would appeal not only to those of a more conservative bent, i.e. a way which also appeals to most women [2].

Our future is at stake, quite literally: no relationships means no children means no future. This does not mean that children will not be born any more, it just means that they won't be our children who carry along our traditions and cultures - those traditions and cultures which we claim to value where people are born equal with the same rights, where men and women are equal under the law, where freedom of consciousness, religion and speech are guaranteed to a differing but mostly large extent, where those who happen to be romantically attracted to their own sex do not get thrown off buildings or sentenced to prison or 'converted' or chemically castrated. We fought quite hard to arrive where we were a few decades ago, by no means perfect - perfection is the enemy of good - but certainly better than before and also better than most other places so it does not make sense to throw all those gains to the wind in the name of... what, exactly?

[1] as in 'those parts of the world where the sexual revolution took place and had these detrimental effects'

[2] for just another proof of the fact that men and women are not interchangeable it suffices to look at the difference in political opinions between 'the average man' and 'the average woman'. Yes, there are 'liberal' men. Yes, there are 'conservative' women. That does not negate the fact that women on average lean more towards 'liberalism' while men tend to lean more towards 'conservatism'.
Yeah, the TG16 and Genesis both had CD options.
Rare during the Nintendo 64 era was a second party developer (developed by an external party, published by an external party), not a third party developer (developed by an external party, published internally by the console manufacturer). Prior to making Donkey Kong Country, the majority of Rare's games on Nintendo were third party games. The Battletoads games were published by Tradewest for example, but they had games published by other publishers as well. I'm not exactly sure of the details how Rare got access to the Donkey Kong IP to make Donkey Kong Country, but I think it was Rare's excellent use of the pre-N64 release SGI dev hardware to model the characters that garnered them favor with Nintendo. Given the landmark success of the series, a strong partnership followed.

Nintendo has always been fond of favoring second party relationships and working tightly with them to create either new IPs themselves, or expand on their existing IPs. HAL Laboratories is famous for Kirby, Super Smash Bros, working closely with Creatures, Inc. and Game Freak on Pokémon titles, and the Mother / Earthbound series, and was so close that their darling programmer and later manager Satoru Iwata became the first president of Nintendo outside of the Yamauchi family. Other strong second party development studios that Nintendo has hitched their horse include but aren't limited to Intelligent Systems (Fire Emblem), Retro Studios (Metroid Prime, though now a first party studio), and Argonaut Software (Star Fox).

Rare was just trying to make games before their eventual partnership with Nintendo grew. I believe I read somewhere though that the relationship started to wane, so when Microsoft started wining and dining studios to build their own second party studio, when they came to Rare, the company saw the dollar signs and promises of more creative agency and decided to hitch to another cart. Since then, the company has released some successful titles since then, but arguably none are as notable as during the heyday of their partnership with Nintendo.

> Does it make sense to still invest time to learn C++ when Rust exists?

Yes. The overwhelming majority of industry is using C/C++.

Rust is still very much niche when compared to the overall market.

Additionally, (Someone can correct me if this is wrong) IIRC, mozilla, was initially one of the biggest proponents of rust, but still just uses rust in a supplementary role. C++ still powers the heavy lifting.
From the article:

Stranger still, melanoma most commonly

Could increased sun exposure to one's left arm result in an increase in other parts of your left side besides the arm?

The problem is with these "AAA" games. I've spent a dozen years having great fun with perfectly enjoyable and memorable 7/10 games. Nowadays a 7/10 is a death sentence for a gaming studio. The industry is poisoned.

Ask HN: Examples of nice open source software that are written as single file?
Are there examples nice open source software or tools that are written as single file?

These could be big or small projects but it needs to fit in a single file of source code.

Like if it is a C project, then it should be a single .c file. Or if it is Rust project then only single .rs file.

Why do I care about this? Just pure curiosity. I hope to discover some interesting projects in the answers.
Definitely a valid point. Like anything on our planet everything has a counter.

I have a proposal for anyone who wants to go digging on Google. In order to simplify this whole nonionizing EM radiation cancer debate, it would be awfully nice if we could identify a subpopulation of people exposed to very high levels of nonionizing EM radiation at work.

So if anyone can find a survey of cancer rates in MRI technologists, that would be helpful. Twenty seconds of Google exhausted my patience.

Well, I have to spend about 7 hours a day inside on a computer, as I'm sure you do too! I have to spend my time doing 'something' while Jenkins does its thing :)

No, most AAA studios had their own engine which was designed to port to the different consoles.

The only real difference between something like Unreal Engine and what they used back then is that UE won and is the de factor standard whereas back then most were rolling their own still.
It took a lot of reading of that blogpost before I realized that it was about an operating system. I seriously thought it was about some parallel threading standard. Especially for a broad announcement like that, they should give readers some more context.
This article makes it seem like they are starting to delete them asap but the sign in warnings I am getting are that deletion is not happening until later 2024. So I have almost a 1 year time to sign in or try to recover the account.

I have forgotten accounts popping up left and right in my gmail. And Ive also been recovering a bunch of accounts that spammers or bots managed to create using my emails as recovery addresses - that are now getting sign in warnings. Ive been able to take over those too.
In fairness to Mozilla, Thunderbird, Bugzilla, and a few projects like DMOZ were fairly well received projects. Even recent ones like Firefox Send and their email forwarding service are quite nice additions. On the software side, their investments in in-browser translations are money well spent IMO.

It's the stuff like Firefox OS and Pocket gave the bad rep to Mozilla. I don't know what they were smoking about Pocket, but I can see their thought process in making Firefox OS. Chrome OS eventually did become a mainstream OS, it could have been Firefox OS too, if it has the right people and money.
Ask HN: Why doesn't HN let users manage their posts?
This was discussed multiple times, see [1] and [2] hereI agree with HN
administrators point:

>There needs to be a balance between individual needs for protection, fairness
to the other commenters in a thread, and community interest in having an
archive. Threads are a co-creation, which means their ownership is shared

However, kindly they offer:

>We just have to use more precise tools than wholesale deletion. These include
renaming accounts, retroactively assigning comments to throwaway accounts,
deleting specific posts (if they don't have replies), redacting specific info
from posts, and more.

What I do not understand, why is HN is insisting on keeping some kind of human
intervention for doing this? randomizing the account name or "deleting specific
posts (if they don't have replies)", wouldn't a user option in the user profile
be sufficient since I'm not going to provide anything whatsoever in my email
message but the request to delete/randomize x and y?

I think a better counterexample, rather than "hard drugs," is pornography. It's not that it's necessarily bad, or even that it is in a majority of cases, but people can definitely have negative relationships with it that are destructive and even anti-social.

My optimism comes from reading about it and seeing the companies seem to take this all very seriously. Maybe they're all talk, or maybe there's a race to the bottom that ultimately wins out. But people are self-reporting positive things and I don't like seeing people mocked and stereotyped and their issues dismissed like this.

Lots of drugs have been problematic before more modern refinement methods, my problem was the framing of chatbots and the harm from them as a uniquely modern problem, when harm from social activity has existed as long as social activity has existed.
