Partially. There are things we can clearly blame corporations for, and things we can clearly blame parents for.

Social media addiction is something parents need to fix, but corporations are not helping. However, it's not inherently the fault of corporations, just like kids smoking cigs.

I don't blame parents for being overworked, exhausted, and not having the time to devote to their kids due to the factors I mentioned. When costs of living skyrocket and costs of raising kids becomes completely unaffordable, I don't blame parents for working more and more just to put food on the table. They also need their own time to recharge and be able to breadwinners without completely burning out. They aren't completely aware of everything their kids do, or what the cool kids in school are doing (and why their kids want to copy said cool kids). It is the parent's job to educate their kids, yes, but sometimes parents are too late to the party to actually effect change.

I don't blame corporations for acting in their best interests, and the best interests of their shareholders. Businesses have to make money. Not everything in the business world has to be ethical, good for society, or morally just, no matter how much we'd like it to be.

There is no magic bullet, but imposing restrictions on corporations seems to be a good start.
I agree with your sentiment but at a certain point it's just impossible for a few parents to push back on the behemoth that social media has become with children.
But I'd have sweet sweet moral vindication ;-)
> The actual papers themselves seem pretty solid from a surface reading as a non-expert, at least in terms of having clear explanations and easily verifiable results.

If you only read one paper in an unfamiliar field, you will not know if it lacks the necessary analysis.
So then why are you being so contrarian? The overwhelming evidence supports the theory that a combination of strength and cardio training leads to better healthspans. And before you "correlation is not causation" yeah no duh, but the evidence is absolutely conclusive by now that exercise is better than not.

Hey, I applied in March but never heard back besides the automatic "thanks for applying" email. I have the skills you're looking for (mentioned in this post) -- is there a way to have someone manually look at my application? Thanks!
One contributing factor is the surprisingly recent meme that corporations exist solely for the benefit of their shareholders. It’s a totally ahistoric and obviously antisocial meme that gets repeated like it’s gospel, even by otherwise intelligent people. This perspective should be literally laughed at and made fun of as a moral system suitable only for the greediest and most myopic among us.
It's where RoPE fails to generalize to longer contexts, because this method introduces additional data - a data required to encode position.

FFT method on the other hand does not introduce any additional data - it learns the position from the available data (input) using long convolutions with wide kernels (it generates those kernels from the data).

If you scroll down the notebook, you'll see the generation output made by RoPE and generation made by FFT and what happens to the text generated with RoPE for longer and longer sequences.
I'm not saying the proposal is finalised or even marginally thought through. But neither is everyone being horrifyingly distracted by social media.

> only reason for using a traditional publisher is the cash advance then?

A few really important things come to mind:

- Editing. I'm not talking about mere copy editing which you can get done reasonably cheaply, but rather having an editor that is reading through everything and giving feedback is hugely important.

- Layout and printing of the book There's a lot that happens between writing and having a polished book in your hands. You can contract all this out but it adds a lot of work.

- Distribution. While the burden of marketing a book has increasingly fallen upon the author these days, if you want your book to be on the shelf at your local Barnes & Noble, then your much better off going with a traditional publisher.

- Prestige. Like it or not, the vast majority of people on Earth still look down upon self publishing. For some types of books this is less important: technical books and fantasy fiction books can go without in many cases (but if you want to use your book for credibility in something like consulting you'll still want a traditional publisher). But if you want to write on a serious topic it helps a lot to have an academic press publish your work, or if you want to really pursue writing literature you at least want some publisher that is recognized in your relevant community.

Currently I think the only really good use cases for self publishing are the fantasy fiction and niche technical book markets assuming you already have an audience. And even in those cases there are plenty of reasons to go with traditional publishers over self publishing.
So a company to pay 500 euro in wages, spends 1000. Thus 1000/500 = 1.2 to 1.3. I don't get it.

Ok, so make sure you get enough dietary manganese?

RDA for Mn is 1.8-2.3 mg/day. Tolerable upper limit is 11mg/day. Mn ions are highly conserved in the body and mostly cycle through redox states and various complexes.

That's actually a pretty narrow therapeutic window, again because it's a trace mineral and biology has evolved to recycle it very efficiently.

Cardio is important to the health of your mitochondria. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8793839/

> Mitochondrial dynamics, including continuous biogenesis, fusion, fission, and autophagy, are crucial to maintain mitochondrial integrity, distribution, size, and function, and play an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Cardiovascular health improves with aerobic exercise, a well-recognized non-pharmaceutical intervention for both healthy and ill individuals that reduces overall cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Increasing evidence shows that aerobic exercise can effectively regulate the coordinated circulation of mitochondrial dynamics, thus inhibiting CVD development. This review aims to illustrate the benefits of aerobic exercise in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease by modulating mitochondrial function.

Attia is a fan of "zone 2" training in particular because it trains mitochondria to burn fat, which leads to "metabolic flexibility". https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28467922

> Metabolic flexibility is the ability to respond or adapt to conditional changes in metabolic demand. This broad concept has been propagated to explain insulin resistance and mechanisms governing fuel selection between glucose and fatty acids, highlighting the metabolic inflexibility of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In parallel, contemporary exercise physiology research has helped to identify potential mechanisms underlying altered fuel metabolism in obesity and diabetes.

Weightlifting, if anything, depletes muscle glycogen, a sugar, so you aren't really training your fat-burning.

I think this shows the value of programmer productivity over performance at all costs. Python is one of the most popular languages despite having performance issues for complex algorithms. Users value clarity and ease of expression over performance. That's why Python is primarily used a glue code in these complex tasks.
The try.gambitscheme.org web app has most of these features and more:

- REPL history with up/down arrows (explained on the landing page's README)

- You can use the "help" procedure to browse the full documentation

- TAB key for autocompletion

- In addition to the REPL there is a code editor to edit programs stored in the browser

- The system supports multiple threads, one REPL per thread

- There is a builtin tutorial to learn the basics of Scheme with examples executable in the REPL with a single click on a "run" button

- The REPL supports single stepping the execution of code

- Easy interface to JS with the SIX syntax extension, e.g. (let ((msg "hello")) \console.log(`msg, 1+2/3))

- The error messages are clear and precise giving the file and line number and highlighting in yellow the piece of code (in the REPL or file) that raised the exception. Just try this in both systems to see the difference:

> (define (f x) (/ 1 (* x x)))
> (f 5)
> (f "hello") ;; the * procedure will raise an exception and highlight "(* x x)"
From all these I feel like the best intro is Sedgewick & Wayne. CLRS is less solo-learner friendly, in my opinion. I skimmed Erickson and I liked it too.

In the "friendly+actually-useful" category, you missed "Open Data Structures" [1] ... I think it has one of the best descriptions of trees, including B-Trees which seem to be only superficially described in other books. The "Think" series is also pretty good and covers more than just algorithms [2].

TAOCP, Okasaki, Bird: these feel really academic and/or less useful for industry work. Reading HTDP wasn't as useful to me, at least: I feel like Felleisen's books describe what he "imagines" would be a good way to write software on a "real" job :-p (non-academic setting).

Skiena: I have mixed feelings about it... It seems to have gained popularity since Steve Yegge's blog post about Google interviews, but imho many concepts in that book are better explained elsewhere. I suppose the intended purpose of the book was to serve as a reference and an index to other resources. However, it often refers to sources that are 10 years old or older, academic implementations that could be challenging to apply in a real job setting, or things that are no longer available online afaict (e.g., LEDA), or hard to read papers, most of which lack a working implementation of the described concepts, etc. I wonder if anybody can really vouch for it or have a personal anecdote of the book being useful or enjoyable.

That seems unreasonable if the parents have made their views on smoking well known to the kids, which then leads to the kids making efforts to hide their habit from their parents. It's fair enough to blame parents for behaviour that they encourage, but not so for behaviour that they are unaware of.

seL4 actually has an end-to-end proof, which proves that the final compiled binary matches up with the formal specification. There are not many places that bugs can be shifted---probably the largest one at this point is the CPU itself.

Oh no, the evidence is clear when it comes to smoking. What I was trying to say: Smoking is a nice reference point to orient yourself around, because you can fairly confidently conclude that it's very harmful even with imperfect methods. So we can pick up on large negative effects using imperfect tools. At the same time, when you apply the same imperfect methods to other objects of study (e.g. the impact of coffee on health), you often get much more inconclusive results, which change from study to study. In that case, I don't think there is much sense in worrying until more robust methods can find clear evidence.

It is both fairly common to say you're addicted to something as a way of saying you're really into something as well as to indicate actual addiction, and you can't expect people asked a question like that without detailed additional guidance to be able to give a clinical assessment of whether they are in fact suffering from an addiction.

Unless you probe what the respondents mean by addiction, or provide them a clear definition before asking, there's very little reason to assume they will be using a definition of addiction that justifies assuming anything approaching a clinical definition, or even anything negative.

My opinion goes in other direction: I think even with that caveat, what she went on to say suggests she's making assumptions about what people meant - especially given the age of the respondents - that I don't there's basis for unless the survey provided a lot more context than just the question given in the article.
Both, it's both, and they're meeting in the middle. Windows has taken a nosedive with 11, while I can say at least for KDE that it has been improving massively in stability over the past few years, and Proton has made gaming on Linux possible. Adobe being Windows-only is still a big hold for lots of people, but unlike decades ago, today lots of top software like Davinci Resolve is now nativelly compatible. Pinta is no Paint.NET and Okular can't match Adobe Reader, but eventually they just might be good enough.

One day we'll look back at the legacy pile of self contradicting nonsense that Windows is and wonder how we ever used it productively.

Siding with a millionaire CEO to own the anti wokes is quite a take. Also, even if her peers were just as well paid, it's well known and normal for not for profits to pay a lot less than "private" for profit businesses. Expecting non profit CEOs to have a salary that trends similarly to those in big/mid tech is a bit weird, why not just go work for big tech if she is on the same level as her well paid peers? Also even for a non profit, it's a bit... brazen to still keep increasing the already massive salary even when clearly the organization is doing a lot worse in terms of meeting its own objectives than before.

It's not fetishization; it's an engineering OS.

Windows is a consumer OS, which is terrible for engineering, less centered around CLIs but nevertheless having a few even more cryptic ones tacked on like afterthoughts or a legacy hoarding exercise.

CLIs will always be more powerful than GUIs. They tap into what the OS actually is. The GUI is an illusion.

Sorry to break the echo chamber here, but I have to. Israel is native people returning to their land, which was stolen from them by various imperial entities by force (most recently by the islamic colonial empire of Abu Bakr).

Now the jews return home, thousands of years of pogroms for made up reasons in Christian and Muslim lands, and all they ask for is a small piece of land. The world then gives it to them (the only country ever to be created with approval the united nations, all other nations never asked for any approval to get created).

The local arabs (descendants of the colonial warriors of Abu Bakr) are also given a small piece of land of their own (as apposed to larger Islamic colonial empire of Ottomans that ruled them before) by the same body, but reject it and start many many wars against the jews.

Every chance at peace they squander and reject. Instead of rejoicing in having some land of their own, the local arabs create a bunch of terror organizations that make money from Iran and Qatar for launching rockets at the Jews.

They then attack Jews many times, often and most recently on holidays, specifically the holiest day for the Jews (the yom kippur war) and the happiest day for the Jews Simchat Torah on October 7th.

Now Simchat Torah is when the torah was revealed to the jewish people, and through them to the world. The same Torah that the Prophet Mohammad would stand up in respect for according to Islam's own sources. Torah that Jesus practiced and taught.

In fact, the Quran says itself that Torah was revealed in Surah 5:44.

Now we get here to America, where angry mobs roll out on the streets chanting for killing Jews, the kind of ethnic hatred that galvanized people to stand to stop asian hate, and stop black hate. But not for Paul, Paul wants to stand with the radicals, with religious fanatics who are hell bent on genocide in Israel and Jewish pogroms in America.

The world has had enough of Jew haters, enough of people advocating for pogroms on Jews, enough of blind hatred. I for one am happy to see him go.
Regardless of whom it applies to, the situation is deeply unfair. I get that the left is fine with being unfair to the rich and doesn't care at all about writing bad policy anymore as long as the victims of the bad policy are not their in-group but for those of us who aren't radicals and do actually care the situation is concerning.

Investopedia is misleading because the tax event occurs before the sale. You don't pay AMT in the year you sell you pay AMT in the year you exercise. With RSUs for example, the default behaviour is a portion of your stock is instantly sold to pay the tax and if you want to you can override this and pay the tax through other means. But with Stock Options in a company that is not yet traded you aren't able to do that. The government is unwilling to take shares as well. Instead you pay AMT based on a fictional VC valuation. This means a software engineer who started early at a company and got a 1% stock package in a company that grows to $100 million can only exercise their stock options if they pay taxes on the $1 million in stock. That's a crazy expense that isn't in any way fair or reasonable, and can lead to people forfeiting their stock options entirely since the stock itself pays for $0 of this expense.

s: I'm sure the left is happy with the outcome that engineers in the top 5% of incomes forfeit a bunch of money to investors in the top 0.01% of incomes. /s

Meet The World's Hottest AI Model
Germany has around 80GW of capacity in fossil fuel plants so it can generate pretty much all of its electricity from that alone. The reasons it doesn't are:

1) it's cheaper to use excess wind and solar from neighbouring countries which is the vast majority of its imports. Prices in Germany have gone down dramatically since the nuclear shutdown

2) it's better for the environment

So it's basically a win win and far away from disastrous. What is disastrous is when a quarter of your nuclear fleet goes offline unexpectedly and you need to import electricity in the middle of the biggest energy crisis of the last 50 years. And you need to nationalize the electricity company because it made a hole of 20 billion in a single year.

Also curious to know this! I've been using Mint & Cinnamon for about 10 years and haven't bothered looking at an alternative.
Personally, I split my time.

I really enjoy a strenuous hike to a point of interest around sunset, setting up, and taking photos of the sunrise or sunset. But that's my personal time and I'm usually alone. On the flip side I usually only take (some) smartphone photos documenting the experience and the people when I'm out in a group. I like the "here's what you did N years ago" collages and reconnecting with the people involved over the shared experience.

Trying to combine both usually leads to someone being disappointed, either the photographer because they're rushed or the others because the photog is holding everyone up.

I feel like good photos take a lot of planning, time and some luck. But the chase inspires me to get out more and not do the exact same thing everyone else is doing (all the time) to get something even remotely unique. It also requires scouting the locations for a while and finding the right composition takes some exploring the area.

Plus, long exposure photography gives you a lot of time to be in the moment when every photo takes a minute to expose and you get to progressively watch the landscape and lighting change waiting for the right time to snap your photos.
Get better.
I think the problem likely goes deeper - most of the parents are likely smartphone addicted already, so they see no issue with it. Or they may see the issue with their child's usage of a phone, but they justify their own constant need for using a phone with it being "for work" or what have you and the child is just following in their example as they constantly see them pulling out their phone.

I'm not a parent yet, and I don't have any answers..but as a 90's kid I can't imagine what it is like now growing up with access to all the world's information in your pocket.
