On the contrary, it's one of the best jobs in the world. Kids that age are just old enough to comprehend complex ideas, without (yet) having spent enough time in the educational system to have all of their curiosity and creativity beaten out of them. The best trick is to pitch whatever you want them to do as somehow slightly subversive, and they'll follow you anywhere.

On the other hand, yeah: teaching has been made into one of the worst careers (at least for educated people) there is, which is why I'm not doing it anymore.
And until they see it they'll never work to increase their value and move on to a stage where they can afford a house. It's a self-fulfilling cycle destroying multiple generations at this point.
> Customers must use third-party apps like DoorDash, GrubHub and Uber Eats for food deliveries at the affected chain restaurants.

I don't order delivery very often, so I was surprised when the last time I did it, the pizza place that advertised delivery just silently passed the order on to Doordash, with all the downsides of that process (data sharing, increased price, decreased pay for the driver, and generally worse service). Maybe this is just how most places do it now, but I was surprised.

I understand that Doordash gives workers the option of being paid minimum wage, but they get money only when the worker is actively making a delivery, so almost by definition that means less than minimum wage in practice. I'm not sure what the fairest strategy would be, because it's not like there are defined shifts for gig workers, but it feels like they could find a better policy than this.

I've been reading Hacker News for over 12 years now and this is my first comment and I wanted to make it a reply to your post because I'm in stitches.
Looks awesome, but sad they put TLS as a premium feature above the basic for pay sku. Security should be default in everything and for free. It’s not a luxury, it’s a table stakes bare minimum thing. (That said I’ll try it out and if it’s good I’ll license the premium sku for the copy and paste feature)
Owning a house only to rent it out is part of the problem here. You're adding to the scarcity of housing while being blessed with parents who can house you.
Unless it is significantly over chlorinated tasting like crap isn't because of the chlorine, in general the causation will be reversed here. Places that use a lot of chlorine are typically trying to kill off things that both taste bad and will try to kill you.
There's a secondary consideration as well; designing new chemicals is fairly easy, synthesizing them harder, and scaling that to commercial manufacturing very hard.

Oh, and you still have to prove it to be safe and effective through years of clinical trials.

AI is basically still only helping us with the easiest parts, and this particular class is drugs is essentially a limited resource (to avoid force-evolving stains of bacteria that are resistant or immune).

At the end of the day, there's not as much research because there's a finite amount of resources to go around and there are easier / lower hanging fruit.
Hm. This is being touted as a major breakthrough, yet it looks like everybody else's low-end 3D world. A good example of that genre is Mozilla Hubs.[1] You get to visit a little pre-built 3D world with other people in it. Graphics are cartoon-level. Performance is OK. Works fine. Few users.

Croquet tries to accomplish the same thing in a more distributed way. That's OK, but if all the clients are running in lockstep, the slowest client determines the speed. There are some games like that, and they usually come with a program to kick off laggy users.

Metaverse technologies that scale to a big world are interesting. But this doesn't seem to be it.

I spent hours getting things to work the way they described it: xhost, xauth, Xorg, xserverrc, gdm3/custom.conf, and nothing stuck. I probably did something wrong. I'll add this blog post as a reference to mine.

I really like the socat option though. Other than opening a single TCP/IP port, it doesn't require changes to config files anywhere. I've just updated the blog post to make the UFW config more strict, by only allow TCP requests from the logic analyzer IP address.

I think learned helplessness is a real problem.

We have friends in their late 30's and early 40's who still live with multiple roommates. They're "well educated" but can't seem to hold a job, or stay in a relationship, or pay for anything. They've got subscriptions ticking away that they didn't remember they had, and then they're shocked to learn about an overdraft fee or a big credit card bill.

One of them recently got a high paying job at a medical office and then abruptly quit because "there weren't any photos of black people on the office walls." They like to remind everyone of how broke they are, but they have new cars or new car leases, a new iPhone every other year, and seem to have plenty of money for weed. Lots and lots of weed.

When they do get a job, they're always the victim, nothing is ever their fault. Or they'll complain about how much work they have to do, or how fast they're expected to move. But they do nothing quickly, it's like their neurons don't fire. They'll spend 30 minutes in a dazed state trying to figure out how to arrange groceries in a single bag.

And they're always late, to everything. They're late to dinner, to gym class, to the movies, to important events. It doesn't seem to bother them at all. Being late is part of their "woe is me" disposition.

They're all good people, but their brains are a gelatinous mess and they exist in a perpetual state of helpless confusion. Lights are on, no one's home. They got a master's degree but didn't learn anything about how interest works?

We've tried to help in any way we can. We've helped them with job applications and basic communication skills, taught one of them about credit card statements and due dates, and helped another pay down and close out 15 rewards cards.

Yeah yeah, there's lots of nuance that I've left out, lots of reasons for the current condition of a large demographic, lots of reasons for families to live and stay together. I'm just saying, I am constantly surprised (especially when hiring) at how careless and sluggish some people are about...everything.
A different situation but similar sentiment, I have young adult children, and they have both moved out and back in at various times and both my wife and I probably enjoy life a little more when they're here, the hustle and bustle and things going on is kind of more rewarding than just hanging out with the dogs and going on trips. We like having them here. I never really got the perspective that if they aren't moved out they aren't productive members of society. They all have jobs and friends and are doing well, having them around is not a bad thing in anyway and brings a lot of extra richness to life.
This is sorta indicative on my thoughts on Mozilla/FireFox in 2023.

You got Chrome and Webkit/Safari on board.

And then someone who just doesn't "get it" wasting three calendar years.

I make snarky comments about FireFox's refusal to-date to allow for "full" scrollbar style customization, but I'm serious. That coupled with inability to embed means FireFox could never be used in a system such as electron, and nobody developing "apps" but in the browser is happy with the inability to deal with those scrollbars.

It's like Mozilla/FireFox have completely lost the pulse of the web, or they just don't care about market share and would rather march to their own drum.
The scaled scores are intended to be directly comparable, so the mapping from raw score to scaled score depends on the difficulty of the questions on the particular test that you took. On a sufficiently hard section, you can miss a question and still get an 800.

Is this an example of the progress people keep telling me is happening?

These young people aren’t blazing the trail for bringing back multi-family living arrangements for cultural cohesion.

This along with the decreasing desire for children and family is the result of a loss of hope.

Hope isn’t in GDP and employment statistics unfortunately

I'm not sure you realize this, but that is literally what this article was written to explore!

Yeah but it's "exploration" answers all the reasonable objections by just extrapolating vague "smartness" (EDITED [1]). "LLMs seem smart, more data will make 'em smarter..."

If apparent intelligence were the only measure of where things are going, we could be certain GPT-5 or whatever would reach AGI. But I don't many people think that's the case.

The various critics of LLMs like Gary Marcus make the point that while LLMs increase in ability each iteration, they continue to be weak in particular areas.

My favorite measure is "query intelligence" versus "task accomplishment intelligence". Current "AI" (deep learning/transformers/etc) systems are great at query intelligence but don't seem to scale in their "task accomplishment intelligence" at the same rate. (Notice "baby AGI", ChatGPT+self-talk, fail to produce actual task intelligence).

[1] Edited, original "seemed remarkably unenlightening. Lots of generalities, on-the-one-hand-on-the-other descriptions". Actually, reading more closely the article does raise good objections - but still doesn't answer them well imo.
It's, I mean, distracting and unpleasant to, like, listen to when every other sentence has, like, meaningless words injected into them which, I mean, could, like, be removed without changing the meaning at all but which, I mean, would be more, like, concise and sound better.

No, it is certainly not true that people have been talking this way since the 20's nor that radio shows, media, journalists etc presented information in this sloppy manner.

It is trivially verifiably not just a default way of talking by listening to podcasters or journalists that exist right now that don't do this but also watching/listening to older media especially. This is akin to vocal fry, another recent grating social phenomenon that has become acceptable for a certain type of public speaker that is drastically different than most people and media types spoke even in the 80's and 90's let alone decades prior.
This is pretty common for people in other parts of the world (Asia, notably). IIRC, it was kind of normal in Western nations during the Victorian era. In North America today, there's this culture of independence and individualism which would rub many the wrong way to have their in-laws/parents living with them all the time.

My own in-laws stayed with us a few times for a couple months at a time. I must admit the level of shenanigans my wife and I normally get up to was much lower during that time, even though I thought it was nice having them around for a while. Relationship dynamics are probably a major factor here, as well as personality types.
Even purely from a perspective of self-interest, you're unlikely to make any money mining bitcoin even with free electricity, let alone if you're supposed to do it with just the power a heat pump uses.
> What law did he break?

You can read the indictment, which I already suggested you do.

> Remember, again, with what he was charged. Wiretapping and intent to distribute. He wasn't charged with trespassing, breaking and entering, or anything else. Wiretapping and intent to distribute.

He wasn't charged with wiretapping (not even sure that's a generic crime). He was charged with (two counts of) wire fraud (18 USC 1343), a huge difference. He also had 5 different charges of computer fraud (18 USC 1030(a)(4), (b) & 2), 5 counts of unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer (18 USC 1030 (a)(2), (b), (c)(2)(B)(iii) & 2), and 1 count of recklessly damaging a protected computer (18 USC...).

He was not charged with "intent to distribute", and there's not such thing as a "wiretapping" charge. Did you ever once read the actual indictment, or did you just make all this up from internet forum posts?

If you're going to start with the phrase "Remember, again.." you should try to make up nonsense. Actually read what you're asking others to "remember" which you apparently never knew in the first place.

> you are confusing a "crime" with "misuse of a system"

Apparently you are (willfully?) ignorant of law.

> You violate copyright by transforming.

That's false too. Transformative use is one defense used to not infringe copyright. Carefully read up on the topic.

> ask it to implement Java's Array list and get several verbatim parts of the JDKs source code echoed back at you

Provide the prompt. Courts have ruled that code that is the naïve way to create a simple solution is not copyrighted on it's own, so if you have only a few disconnected snippets, that violates nothing. Can you make it reproduce an entire source file, comments, legalese at the top? I doubt it. To violate copyright one needs a certain amount (determined by trials) of the content.

You might also want to make sure you're not simply reading OpenJDK.

> 0, because he didn't distribute.

Please read. "How many could I get from what Schwartz downloaded?" does not mean he published it all before he was stopped. It means what he took.

That you seem unable to tell the difference between someone copying millions of PDF to distribute as-is, and the effort one must go to to possibly get a desired copyrighted snippet, shows either dishonestly or ignorance of relevant laws.

> Property taxes are just what you pay the government to enforce your claim.

Around here the endless new levies have nothing to do with enforcing the claim. They're all for various social programs. I think the latest one was to fund free dance classes and other art projects.
Yeah, well, after 50 years of policy choices between "make housing affordable" and "make housing a good investment" and always choosing the latter, they now have an enormous vested interest to look after. Even if it doesn't really make sense to blame the gays or tiktok, they're absolutely going to do it anyway because the alternative points to policy changes that could lose them their ill-gotten gains.
But it's not the case that "T3 is the active form" as you'll read in the literature, it's that the removed iodine is the active or useful thing.

Supplementation with T3 yields a rapid correction in bradycardia and hypothermia caused by hypothyroidism. We treat with T4 because it has a longer physiological halflife and thus yields more consistent serum levels; but the evidence is incredibly clear that it's T3 which is having an effect, not T4.
Looks like it's the PD3205U (https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-PD3205U-Designer-Technology-Co...). Am not at work to double check.
I'm giving the government the benefit of the doubt. They have done some good things generally speaking (RECOVER, NIH budget re-allocation($200m), limiting profits of nextgen drugs, etc).

They have done some dumb things too like calling the pandemic over, FDA limiting all use of life-reversing covid therapeutics due to "new variants", and allowing the first-gen covid therapeutics to be priced on the market (look how ridiculous paxlovid is for example or any recent vaccine).

I would not be surprised to see the CDC or NIH director, or even the president come out to talk about the elephant in the room early next year. While actions speak louder than words, I think many afflicted humans want to hear the words part too.
I am by no means a security expert whatsoever. Period. But reading the article carefully, there is a step in the chain of exploits (CVE-2023-32435) which depends on exploiting Safari. Apple implemented a "Lockdown mode" (https://support.apple.com/en-us/105120) which might have handled this (?).

Answering more broadly to your question, the "step-change" that you're asking for is precisely the "Lockdown mode" in iOS devices. It disables most of the features in order to reduce the attack surface of the device.
Big chain delivery serviced through the delivery apps is the worst of all worlds.

Various services, credit cards, and banks will get you "premium" membership for free at this point, but the store front on Door dash.com is locked down corporate shit that barely allows substitutions, no notes, and no coupons.

Ordering on the restaurants actual website will get you the coupons, the member points, the specials, but then they hide the fact it's delivered by a delivery app until the very last step, which charges the full fee of the delivery app plus a little more to make up for what the company is paying for the service. You end being able to get what you actually want but still pay more.

Then you get a driver sitting around so they can make multiple deliveries while your food gets cold.

And they still want a tip.

And Door dash couldn't make a profit when we were all locked inside of our houses and restaurants could only make deliveries.

It will be nice when people realize how shitty the deal has become and these delivery service companies finally crash and we go back to restaurants needing their own drivers

That is more about crystal size and roughness than anything else. Some companies are working on nanoscale crystals of salt that allow you to use significantly less salt for the same saltiness profile based on these properties.
> They are also built of out of standard parts. I’m surprised that they are recent, I expected the government to be slow and behind.

Because the government isn't building them. They are Cray supercomputers, supplied by HPE. Not entirely built with standard parts. Proprietary interconnect and cooling system.
Anything my child enjoys hearing, especially poetry and stories with tight rhymes and/or rhythm. Dr. Seuss is good for that, as is Jack Prelutsky. I've checked out a bunch of poetry books from the library and we've had a lot of fun reading aloud.
Swapping the whole thing is reasonable if you get the full value of the "dud" battery.

There's specific factories that buy and refurb these, only replacing specific cells and/or modules and then selling them on again as replacement parts.

Even the totally mashed parts (from a crash perhaps) have some residual value as scrap.

Fairly certain similar has happened when I've mailed off Xboxes for warranty repairs. I've got someone else's refurbed unit sent to me and mine then enters the refurb process before being returned to someone else.

Inexplicably, I got a lot of Zulily ads even though I'm a middle aged man. I suspect their ad targeting had a lot to do with this.
To be fair (?) I think reporting is not as much the problem as the death of editorial and fact-checking departments. This is the kind of mistake that ought to be caught by a process. It's sort of like saying programmers are getting worse because so many bugs get into code, and then finding out that, actually, all the unit tests and CI processes were turned off because they were expensive; the programmers may be worse, but in the end they aren't really the biggest problem.

> Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein have been shown to have clinical benefits in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection

That's textbook cognitive dissonance right there. Monoclonal Antibody Therapy did show promise in treating COVID-19. It certainly didn't hurt anyone. You don't see the clear hand of public policy that attempted (and mostly succeeded) to create a monopoly on treatment for the drug companies?

> And vaccines worked wonders, everybody who got two, or three, shots allowed anti-vaxxers to not get theirs and not catch a hard Covid strain regardless of that decision

What wonders did it work? It's not effective at stopping transmission, so your statement comes across as a bit dated tbh. Why can't you admit that it didn't do what the state-level "public health experts" promised it would? You're just going to follow these people wherever they lead you no matter how many times they fail publicly?

Edit: Whoever flagged my post above is breaking the HN rules but I'm not surprised. People are still very offended by perspectives that deviate from state-media narratives on this topic.
