It's up to parents to lock down their kids from tech they shouldn't be accessing, the rest of us shouldn't be harassed and inconvenienced for that. I hate to beat a dead horse, but it comes down to personal responsibility, "what are your kids doing right now?"
There is a very basic iphone setting that restricts adult content from a huge list of sites plus any other sites you want to add to it. This tech has been around for decades.
Just checked my M1 Pro trade in, bought it for $2400 in Jan 2022 and I’m getting offered $1500 for it. So closer to losing 40% of value.
From another comment, it seems (not surprisingly) the MAX 8 and 9 have metal housings, and is different from the 7, which has fiber housings. Maybe the reason they need this exemption in the first place, is cheaping out on the housing.
Looks great, unfortunately I am having challenges using it on iPhone Safari: trying to engage the sliders moves the cards around instead.
In contemplating the observation that Go may be considered the "new Basic," we find ourselves stirring a delightful medley of thoughts. Basic, once the harbinger of beginner-friendly programming, possessed a remarkable ability to focus on the essentials, eschewing the labyrinthine complexity of its contemporaries. Indeed, C++ cannot evade our gaze in this regard.

Go, it seems, is kindred in spirit, placing utmost emphasis on the fundamentals, yielding a pristine landscape for those craving productivity. Though Go possesses deeper strata of features, they exhibit an exceptional harmony, intimately woven into the fabric of the language.
You can't overclock mac parts and their quality is high, so they retain value like crazy while potentially abused desktop parts do not.

I could barely give away my gaming PC from 2015, but loads of people would pay a few hundred dollars for my 2015 MBP 15.

Yeah, time.is supported that for a long time and was extremely useful for me.
I don't know how you took what I said as not steelmanning, I literally presumed the opposition was fully 100% correct.

The point was that pushing so hard (and the manner it was pushed) against what was really was the scientific consensus at the time and the CDC recommendation only really served to birth a family of conspiracy theories and divide the country than promote a healthy skepticism even after the pandemic. People are still today dying of COVID because they're unvaccinated and in denial. It didn't do one iota of difference politically in terms of policy because at the time there was no evidence whatsoever of any negative effects. It was just all FUD without evidence and it was dismissed as such.

There's the post-hoc opposing view which was revised in the presence of more substantive evidence and the opposing view in the moment which accepted the CDC's position but said the economy and killing the old and immunocompromised was a necessary trade for muh freedom.
I really like the simplicity of this and the approachability for students. If I were still teaching CS I’d be using it as part of the curriculum.

Do you support conditional GET AND PUT (i.e. eTags)?
I remember being transfixed by Aussie50's clever hack of wiring his 12V CPU AUX power connector to an old school mechanical ammeter. Probably not a great idea today due to the intense power transients modern machines draw, but the idea of physical instrumentation on machines has always seemed like a good idea to me, if space is available. I like my gpu's coil whine, I can hear if it's running a misconfigured job. Human brains are amazing multi modal pattern matchers, it's good to let them do so.
> Oh, and some of them (either nearly or exactly half) are negative.

Well, it doesn't quite work that way. Yes, you can put the negative integers in 1:1 correspondence with the positive integers, but you can also put them in 1:1 correspondence with the positive integers that are divisible by 2, or 3, or 3,000... or, for that matter, the negative integers that are divisible by three thousand. All of those sets have the same cardinality (often called "countably infinite").

There are, however, provably more real numbers than there are integers.

It is unknown whether there are any sets whose cardinality lies between the cardinality of the set of integers and the cardinality of the set of real numbers.
Parents can achieve this without resorting to an atmosphere of paranoia and control. If parents foster transparency, trust, and open communication with their children, where no secrets are kept and children are not afraid to discuss difficult subjects with parents, then a lot of problems are already solved, or nipped in the bud.

Minor children really shouldn't have an expectation of privacy while they're out on the big, bad Internet. The best advice is for families to have computers in common areas only, where children's screens can be noticed and observed by parents at all times. That's not so much about a lack of trust in your own children, but beware the rest of the Internet.

By all means, teens can be granted increasing privileges and privacy as they grow up and begin to have their own lives. IF you as a parent have fostered their trust and you've inculcated "street smarts", then at a certain point you let go and trust them as well. Amazing how that all works.

I wrote a lot of criticism of C here. I do want to say the K&R book was a great read when I finally did some hands-on work with C. Credit to Victor Yodaiken for recommending it.

The explanations were well-done. They gradually build up the examples. They actually did warn about common gotchas even then. Their examples mostly worked today with only minor tweaks. I used it with Clang’s and MS Visual Studio’s static analyzers.
If only parents had a way of controlling who children associated with. If only.
Did HN autocorrect the title to add a starting capital?
The point is that the course is not introductory:

> I’ve always taught C as a side effect of teaching operating systems, embedded systems, or something along those lines....One might argue that we shouldn’t be teaching C any longer, and I would certainly agree that C is probably a poor first or second language.

So this would be an upper-level class: an introduction to C programming for people with Python/Haskell/etc experience and a decent general understanding of computer science.

Kids will just download shady software to get past all that. And if you block that, everything they want to do must be vetted even if they are 17.
> if some metadata about audience minimum age was given legal blessing?

There's no legal blessing for this, but there's already an industry standard (in the vein of the ESRB ratings): https://www.rtalabel.org/index.html?content=howto Most porn sites have already voluntarily applied this label.

> What am I missing?

My best explanation is that moral panic always plays well to voters.
Google Play and the App Store already have account-based restrictions and fairly annoying rules about apps that can access unrestricted content. When I was a kid and smartphones weren't a thing, I knew kids whose parents had installed similar restrictions on their PCs and Macs.
This is another article that tries to turn what is a subjective political grievance into a technical discussion. Age verification by id in fairly privacy preserving ways is technically trivial. I've lived in South Korea where this is standard and digital identification is used for everything.

My German national id has an eid feature that you can use, for example when buying booze online to verify your age. There's a dedicated public company set up for this, so the vendor only gets a yes/no. That's much, much better than typing your personal information into some random website from a privacy standpoint. It's better to have verification behind a dedicated API abiding by some standards than the "type everying into the webform and pray" status quo.

And as a sidenote on the cultural issue itself. I have no problem with porn or drinking etc, but when I go into a store for anything adult related someone at the door asks me for my id. Idk why people make a fuzz about having some basic due dilligence in digital marketplaces. Cinemas need to make sure people who attend adult movies are of age, bar owners need to make sure underaged kids don't order drinks. This is a completely reasonable level of responsiblity on business owners.
Allow me to introduce you to the 12-bit computer on which Unix was first implemented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-8
The adult sites will simply move offshore where the country trying to stop the flow of information doesn't have jurisdictions. It's whack-a-mole. The only solution is that parents control their kids, install nanny software, and teach them what is age appropriate. I chose to skip all that but supposedly I'm supposed to just accept that they are taking more of my freedom away and expect me to turn my ID over to random internet companies and trust that they'll "do the right thing"
Or we could admit that this isn’t actually that big of an issue to change the way the entire internet works for the worse. We could also do that.
Nobody really trusts the leaderboards anymore. Overfitted and in some cases just outright cheating by training against common test sets

I think the seasons have shifted -- it used to get colder in December. I agree that for the last few decades December has felt like Fall, but I think 400 years ago it was a mini Ice Age and December was legitimately snowy and wintery. But honestly I'm just speculating.
The very notion of a service based industry is idiotic and feels gutturally wrong. If the US can’t bring back it manufacturing industries, we’re done for.

Is there a penalty if they don't?

The fact that racism still exists is good evidence that people still believe IQ is genetic and the current vocal push against racism is happening because racism is still an issue.

A lot of people are vocally anti-racist, but it's all just talk. I think that there are a lot of people who just haven't thought through any of this cause they don't care, and they believe that IQ is genetic while also disagreeing with racism. This is why the right continually succeeds at pushing the IQ narrative and the crime statistics narrative to justify racial targeting.
I am the most senior technology person in a <20 person startup and I do a pretty even 50/50 on code vs non-code tasks. It's not very stable though. Some weeks I'll be on calls for 30+ hours, others I'll be locked in the dungeon and pushing hundreds of commits. Really depends on where we are at. I am actively trying to get out of code duty because it's really hard to manage the overall tech strategy when you are 20000 feet deep fighting some ancient balrog for days on end.

After doing this a while, I realized that writing the code isn't the part that takes a long time. It's rewriting it over and over because you didn't fundamentally solve what the business was asking for the first time. I prefer to focus on that part of the puzzle now. Making sure it gets done right the ~first time. Help others on the team avoid lava pits that they can't see yet.

I try really hard to avoid writing any code until I am nearly certain how something should be implemented. Exploratory rabbit chases are quite rare for me these days. A younger me would be appalled, but I enjoy a new kind of game - Making the customer happy for minimal effort and then getting paid.
That's feasible in XHTML, but it don't think it's in the html5 spec.

Instead, you can use a data URL, though you'll be wasting bytes specifying the mime type and base64 encoding the rest.

Interesting, I actually feel the opposite. The scale at which big tech apps have to operate leads to a lot of bad UX and more bugs due to complexity. For example you can typically get much lower latency hosting a web app at or near your home than Google can provide.
This sounds a lot like the mixture-of-experts architecture, and the current best-performing language models (GPT-4, mixtral-8x7b) already use this architecture.

So congratulations, you win!
I think it isn’t a very viable option. I understand the logic of saying to them “here’s a more effective solution, which you would have suggested if you were operating in good faith,” but I think that your solution wouldn’t work, which causes the whole argument to unravel.

> It shouldn't be everyone else's problem that people are unwilling to parent their children.

There would be legal consequences if a child were to walk into a store and purchased age restricted products. It is because others are not allowed to interfere with the parenting of children. (Some, albeit not all, age restricted products allow for parental discretion rather than being an outright prohibition.) There are also other ways of looking at this, such as protecting vulnerable populations from exploitation. (Such as the sale of addictive substances like alcohol and tobacco to minors.)

I would consider framing the issue as offloading parental responsibilities onto society as disingenuous at best.

While I agree it’s not a real positive note, it does seem to reflect reality to some extend (in the sense that my wife thinks she’s always right).

I’m fairly certain Peppa’s dad is just modelled on an overconfident 50’s dad.

It’s funny though, so I can live with it.
Sounds like fascism to me. More like what N. Korea does, you'd think that S. Korea would be averse to adding more fascism to their lives rather than less.

Have you found programming to be a useful tool in your farming endevors?
Looking it up the heating system uses bleed air from the engine so probably isn't as easy to control. On the other hand it just has to stop the thing getting hot enough to damage carbon composite which probably isn't anything extreme temperature wise. If you limited it to say 80C it would probably be ok to stop ice and also not fry the composite.
If you want an answer from the model itself instead of search results, you can frame it like: "Without looking anything up, <original request>"

For example: (today, GPT-4)

> "Who won the physics Nobel prize in 2023?" --> uses Bing & provides citation link [0]

> "Without looking anything up, who won the physics Nobel prize in 2023?" --> does not use Bing [1]

I don't know this approach will work forever, but at time of writing it has been effective for me.

And a VPN bypasses these age-verification restrictions some states are adding. And kids find ways of buying alcohol too (when I was in high school eons ago, just about everyone was underage drinking, and a lot of my friends had porno mags too).

Fortunately, most democratic countries will be constitutionally prevented from enacting full-blown police states to stop kids from doing naughty things. Hopefully.
...okay, so what is "PI lockfree"?
If you can post results that would be extremely extremely helpful. This is what I've been looking for -real world performance - rather than gamed leaderboards
I too wondered that, but at least I didn't feel so. In fact a complex enough railroad diagram was worse for me. I particularly didn't like a backward railroad, often seen when the diagram would have been too wide unless wrapped, because it doesn't look different from other forward railroads...
Well sure, I like Europe employment more too. But SpaceX is not operating in Europe, and this is probably not the opportunity to change the entire system?
No, it's not because it doesn't define who it would be reported to. So it could be not reported to FAA, or Boing, or a person responsible for this specific design or anybody really, perfectly shedding any responsibility whatsoever.
The only noise my desktop makes nowadays is the coil whine. I find it more annoying than the clicks of a hard drive though due to its frequency.
It's an ironic reply but I genuinely believe that people abuse on sugar and regulation is required. Small taxes are not enough of a detriment.

There's no dilemma, the issue is obvious right there. It makes more sense to invest in 100% EV now for decades of return vs Hybrid research that has about 20 years left of potential return.
I disagree with the idea of censorship generally, but it would be extremely funny if this was implemented and we could all just start tagging all our (totally mundane) content as adult-only. Imagine, a whole parallel internet free of busybodies and their children.
Super cool article - this was a good reminder for me that innovation is still happening in the BERT realm.

Honestly, for task specific tasks methods like this seem like the way to go over the more general LLM.

Does anyone know if there is any benchmarks that show LLM performance on classification tasks? It’d be interesting to have data to back that up.
The Grass Isn't Greener
Fair. It's a bit of a screech for sure. If it weren't so useful for my specific usage patterns, I'd probably try to quiet it.
iPhones are pretty locked down, and stand a good chance of allowing parents to totally block adult content. Android and general-purpose computers less so, naturally.

But VPNs have already come up as the way around these new age-verification laws, and that didn't stop them. Kids can always find ways around this stuff (when I was in high school eons ago, just about everyone was underage drinking, and a lot of my friends had porno mags too).

Fortunately, most democratic countries will be constitutionally prevented from enacting full-blown police states to stop kids from doing naughty things. Hopefully.
The understanding can certainly happen without realizing. I guess your first exposure to formal grammar happened to be through a railroad diagram.
Hey! Thanks for checking me out.

I do not currently support anything like that, however I think you bring up a very good point, and it could be very beneficial. One could however add their own lastModified variable as a part of the json blob they push up and implement the support themselves. From your teaching perspective of course, that may not be a great experience for the students.

C++ is usually better because you can start with the abstractions (e.g. new, classes, I/O streams, and strings) and then work each one backwards once they’re comfortable at the high level.

This doesn't solve the issue, because it looks like the person is always making eye contact! You don't want that—you want it to look like the person is making eye contact only when they are actually making eye contact. Constant eye contact is exhausting.

That's not true at all.

Finland closed the entire border with Russia because Russians kept ferrying migrants to Finnish border. Russia had tried the same tactic against Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland too. Strong response prevented the issue from snowballing out of control like in the Mediterranean where we see one artificial justification after another why nothing can be done.
