The GM Van Plant was in Loardstown Ohio.

The Union won some concessions, I don't recall what (I was young, my two Uncles worked there).

To send the Union a message the Van Plant was razed over a long 4th of July holiday. When Union members returned to their jobs after the holiday they found they had none, the Van Plant no longer existed.

GM corporation really needs to be razed itself once you look into such things.

Addiction counseling works on some people. But you have to address root cause. The drugs are the symptom. For some they just like to get messed up. For some they use it to tune out. For some they just do not want to feel sick. For some the like the idea that they live the way they want to. Sometimes a pause in being messed up lets people see they have hit the bottom. But there is always more bottom which can cause more of the cycle.

Well, I don't think anyone in particular is to blame; I'm guessing Danish publishers and booksellers cater to their public and have little economic leeway to risk translating risky books for a small linguistic group. That's the problem, it's the effect of the forces at play in a global free market economy dominated by the English language: we all have to roll over and make way for what sells, regardless of the respect literatures and languages otherwise deserve.

Me too, but I had to reply to this one. (/shh .. it's got to be fair game with Pascal posts to talk about its history)

> TP was my language for AP computer science in high school and I felt good about it.

Something tells me we graduated around the same time. ;)

I couldn't agree more. Were it not for Turbo Pascal and AP Computer Science, I can't imagine I'd have found myself writing software for a living. Writing code in Turbo Pascal at 7:10 AM in the morning under The Dzwon[0] was the best part of my childhood.

The language was amazing. For the first time in my life, I could instruct a computer to do something, hit F6 (I think) and get an executable file. It was like magic to my 8th grade eyes[1]. I remember hacking a BBS together and being frustrated at the paint speed, investigating, and discovering that I could just use inline assembly to write characters to the screen. The IDE had syntax highlighting, a compiler, and the standard library all fit on a floppy disk along with the source code we wrote in class. We learned on non-networked, IIRC IBM PS/2 512MB PCs with two internal 3.5" floppy drives and no hard disks.

It amazed me when I began my career at a telecom -- as a member of "IT Support" at the time -- that my first big project was installing Microsoft Visual Studio on 20 developer PCs so they could write code in Visual Basic. I hadn't been writing code professionally at that point but still tinkered in Borland Pascal with a little C++ and I'm thinking ... the professional world picked BASIC? Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. In reality, we wrote nothing in VB; it was a one-off. And I also had no idea, at the time, exactly what "Visual Basic" was. I was just picturing that language my buddies with "Commodore 64"s used. In a lot of ways, VB and Pascal shared some things that aren't common in C-like langauges -- they both defaulted to case insensitive string comparisons and code[2].

[0] Over the years I've come to discover that HS Programming teachers tend to be a bit off. Ours was a single man who took off two weeks before the last day of school to spend his summer traveling internationally to places that aren't known for being tourist friendly.

[1] I had an odd childhood. My Dad and I built a PC a few years prior and he started a business for me to do so for others. We'd put in a bid to the district for a tech refresh. The CS teacher saw the name on the bid, realized he had my sister in class, talked to her and found out about me. I was invited to take the AP CS class over at the HS in exchange for an earlier morning, walking over to the JHS afterward as my "1st Hour".

[2] Gosh, it's been so long, I'm second-guessing that statement. I remember keywords and the like were not case sensitive and a few of us took to capitalizing them, making it look like our programs were yelling a lot but I had only passing exposure to VB in the form of VBS and (a lot less) VBA so it escapes me.
That's really my issue, I want to see NONE of those things. Just a much smaller device with a week or two of battery life that sync data to my phone or laptop when its near. I want unobtrusive fitness/sleep/health tracking, not live feedback.
Undoubtedly that can be the cause in some cases, but there are counterexamples. Like West Virginia which has a bad opioid addiction problem yet relatively low homeless rate. What does appear highly correlated is homeless rates vs. cost of housing to income ratios. Find a city with a real estate bubble, and you'll likely find a large tent city too.
IMO this isn't the correct take. Starbucks' stores are their own property and as long as they follow applicable laws regarding public accommodations, health and safety and the like they're free to run their stores however they want to. Where I live, we've got a plethora of Starbucks but we've also got Peet's and a whole bunch of small coffee roasters/shops that seem to be doing just fine. To me, Apple's App Store is the same way - it's Apple's property, run by Apple and branded by Apple. Everyone who develops for it knows the rules and (for the most part) follows them, because Apple makes sure you read the rules in multiple different places.

There needs to be accountability for platforms at some point. It's ludicrous that a company with the resources of Youtube can just ignore that much literal fraud.

As another signal, check out this report by Streamlit, which shows the popularity of different vector databases among Streamlit apps: https://state-of-llm.streamlit.app/#third

Faiss and Pinecone are at the top (disclosure: I'm from Pinecone). But Faiss isn't really a full-fledged vector DB. Pinecone is a managed option which is out of the question for a company like Twitter and maybe for you (although you should consider it). After that comes Chroma in third, and then Qdrant, and then Weaviate.

Chroma has a big following by virtue of being plugged into the AI ecosystem in SF. Qdrant seems to be doing great work but their location in Europe is probably not helping.

Amazon had, as far back as 2004, three negative years: 2012, 2014 and 2022. The last one due to some colossal write offs on a M&A if memory serves well.

What Amazon did was prioritizing growth over profits, and it worked marvelous. That focus is moving so, which makes sense as growth is limited.

I think a large part of the problem was that standard Pascal wasn't really that great of a language other than for teaching. It only became useful when heavily extended as Turbo Pascal had done. Turbo Pascal was very successful and eventually morphed into Delphi which was also successful.

In the meantime standard K&R C was ubiquitous and anyone taking a CS degree would likely have learnt and used it. C's "close to the metal" approach was a good fit for the under-powered CPUs of the day.

They paint it all together to have exactly the same color (as you well said) and avoid two painting jobs in different parts of the process.

It seems trying to solve the homeless drug addiction crisis is putting the cart before the horse. Why are there so many homeless drug users in the first place? Any real solution for the problem would be to prevent people from ending up like this.

If you fall out of the rat race in the US you are screwed. No job, no insurance, no health care, no house, no car followed by homelessness and drug use. After all that it would take an insane amount of effort to get you back up to the ladder.

I know socialism is the big scary word in the US, but socialist European countries mostly prevent people from falling down the ladder that far and fast and the amount of homeless and drug use is significantly lower over here.
Unrelated to the article: How is Scientific American as a 'source'? I'd like almost a "USA Today" of difficult topics.

It sounds like you have not visited the US, have an EU centered take on the world and seem to value culture greater than everything else (classic EU position to take). What you describe are caricatures of Europe and the US - it's probably best to go explore the world a bit more if you do hold the positions you mentioned above as they aren't uniformly accurate.

> (I'm in Canada) The reply was it didn't break any policy. When ads are the primary source of revenue, there's zero incentive to police the platform

TL;DR:

If you're a major on-line ad distributor like Google/Meta, and broadcast malicious ads to consumers, then you should be liable for them according to local laws just how TV and radio broadcasters are liable for the same thing.

Long argument:

Sure those ads don't break Youtube/Google's own internal policy (why would they, they're an ad company reporting to their shareholders), but what about breaking the nation's/Canada's policy on ads? I bet there might be some fines there to be handed out. Hear me out.

If such scams aren't legally allowed on licensed national TV and radio channels or printed media, otherwise the broadcasters and publishers would face crippling fines, then why do we as government agencies allow Youtube to get away with broadcasting these scams to its viewers?

Sure, Youtube is not a licensed TV broadcaster but maybe we should start regulating them partly as such, similarly how the EU's Digital Markets Act aims to fix current major digital gatekeepers and make them as compliant as physical markets.

I mean, one of the main reasons big-tech has reaped such insane profits is that the same regulations that apply to traditional physical businesses like brick and mortar markets and media broadcasters, did not apply to them because they operated on the unregulated Wild West that was the internet, while also extracting all the global profits that come from operating on such a global scale except with none of the costs assigned to local legal regulatory compliance that operating physical business have.

So now it's time to patch these digital loopholes and have big-tech operating in the ad space just as accountable as the rest of the businesses, considering their size, outreach and therefore influence on the gen-pop. Google's not a scrappy start-up anymore, they can definitely afford to police the ads they serve according to the local laws, considering their size, workforce, ML tech and profits. Same with Meta and their ad network.
