People made the same arguments about violent video games (a major panic in the 1990s), about youth literature, about Dungeons and Dragons, and so on. All about depraving children and getting them hooked on smut for profit.

Social media is "adversarial" in the sense that yeah, most platforms want to maximize engagement, and maximized engagement might not be best for you. But that's also the relationship you have with companies selling you sugary food or expensive shoes. They're not your friends and they want you to spend money in ways that might not benefit you. We manage.

Ultimately, you have agency to shape your experience. You're not "addicted" to it any more than one gets "addicted" to chocolate or Louis Vuitton. Social media ended up replacing social life for many teens, and it's probably useful to ask why - this isn't Mark Zuckerberg's design.

At some point, adults in the developed world decided at some point that it's not OK for children to play unsupervised outdoors, walk to school on their own, and so on. It's probably a function of increasing standard of living and plummeting birth rates. Just 50-100 years ago, you had multiple children with the expectation that not all of them will make it to adulthood. Nowadays, most families will have one kid - their single most important "investment" - and they have the means to tightly monitor and control their physical environment. The internet is sort of the only place where you can meet with friends and have fun unsupervised. It's an escape hatch.

I don't see how banning or regulating TikTok or Facebook really solves this.

More generally, is there a good place to ask these questions? There are several under this post already with different requirements, and I have one too, with different requirements — I just want an edge gateway to route upstream and provide basic local network services (DCHP et al, and will turn off any radios) at low power. OpenWRT's hardware table seems not very useful; I can't, for instance, filter for at least two ethernet ports.
That's really interesting about Github-based versioning. My company (bldrs.ai) makes a webapp that views IFC (soon STEP) and has github integration, so any *.ifc path on GH can be pasted into our search for viz.

+1 on other teams being super helpful. We coasted our car into the pits with a broken shifter clip (which lives right next to the surface-of-the-sun hot exhaust pipe). While we were trying to figure out what on earth to do, another team volunteered that they had just done theirs recently, dove in, yanked the old part, tossed the still burning hot part to a teammate who welded it back together, and slapped it back in the car, in under 10 minutes. It felt like a NASCAR pit stop.

Sure, it's worth investigating, I support that. But I do not support making a claim like "I do think it plays one of the largest roles in the increase of neurological disorders since the 2000s. Including autism." when there's little evidence and no obvious mechanism.
Wow, I think the exact opposite. The wonder of capitalism is that it harnesses the problems that we would have regardless and at least points them in the general direction of social benefit. At least I can't think of any other system of economic organization that has been tried in the history of the world that I would prefer.
I've had a website that sent me no fewer than 6 emails over the course of 10 days for a single transaction, 5 of which were full of ads and links to their website and products. I emailed them and asked them to stop and their response was there was no way to opt out, they were transactional for new accounts.
Yeah, the amazing thing though is how such a simple concept can emerge into a very complex behaviour and intelligence.

And the fact that we know that and now have proof in terms of intelligence of ChatGPT, is to me pretty clear that achieving AGI is possible if you crack the way to structure your neural network.

There's a misunderstanding here.

Glue-lams are not used for walls, they are used for floor support. While a lot of multi-unit concrete residential construction in Germany uses concrete for the floor without supports), for single family houses there it is still relatively common to span rooms with beams to create floor support.

This is also true for earthen buildings, which are remarkably popular (on a per-capita basis) in Germany. I say this as a US resident in New Mexico, where it is hard to imagine a place (Germany) less likely to use variants on the same best-practices as housing we build here.
> For some reason, even after the test, he continued to drink bottled water.

Most people don't change their minds based on new information (dialectic). You have to appeal to their emotions (rhetoric). This is something Aristotle observed 2500 years ago. It's crucial to understand if you want to understand how people make decisions and how you might be able to change their minds about something.

... I say, doing the exact opposite. It's a difficult habit to break.

That's what I caught too. It mentioned somewhere on their site that you'll have to provide login credentials through their Rabbit Hole dashboard panel of all services you want to use.

It breaks the services' ToS but I guess most people don't care much about giving their passwords. There's no other practical way to integrate with multiple services.

There are lots of efforts to make pandas faster. Dask, pandarallel, and this.

They all stay at your computer and in your RAM though.

I wonder, what is the benefit of using this compared to a truly distributed engine like spark? If your job barely scales maybe that is what you need rather than maximizing your cores or memory usage?

(Note, I have not worked with spark, so it is an honest question.)
Personally, OpenWRT doesn't really sell me nowadays as having a ton of value.

For a router, you can feasibly use an off the shelf prosumer device like Unifi, or, more compellingly, an actual robust OS like OpnSense, PfSense, Sophos or Untangle.

As for access point capability, that should really be segmented, and any off the shelf Ruckus, Aruba, Unifi etc. will always outperform the drivers available to OpenWRT. I'm a staunch advocate of an eBay ruckus 510 or 610, which will be very little in terms of cost and also your best home access point ever.

It's nice that it's open source and all, but in terms of raw performance or value-add, I don't see it. Open source for the sake of open source is... well, another discussion.

> governments may have to temporarily rein in some spending following a crash or time of economic hardship

The most popular theory (and one with some quite good empirical support) is that government should increase spending exactly following a crash or time of economic hardship. That has been the mainstream economical thinking for near a century.

What people mostly disagree with each other is what to do on times of strong growth.

I'm a member of the team that races The Homer [1]. In fact, I'm looking at a matchbox car of it right now!

We took a few years off during the pandemic, but the team has been going with the same car (with several different themes) since 2008.

Also underrated is the nightlife at the track once the racing is done for the day. It's so much fun to stay after hours, walk the pits, see all the other garages, drink their alcohol, etc.

That's a very "black and white" view, of any issue.

It could be that it's better for that specific person(s) who is having the current conversation. But what about after that?

It used to be that you could search Google and if it was answered in a forum post, you'd find it via Google. But since a lot of it are closed behind locked doors (like Discord), it becomes really hard to find, even with Discords own search.

Everything being ephemeral could help someone right now, but what about the others in the future, wanting the exact same answer?
Hacker News gets fronted by Cloudflare when there was/is unusual bot activity, high load or a DDoS. This happens from time to time, but after the activity goes back to normal, they usually remove the Cloudflare fronting.

If the application doesn't have to be implemented according to spec, then I propose we skip reading the file and just hard code the results.
That's what I was thinking. This makes me think my system is less safe than I thought. BUMMER!!

This poster's cost drop on the $2/5Gal made me go down the cost analysis train on my own system.

I setup my own robust RO system at home and filter my own water. It uses a 20gal tank so the output is very high when demanded (slow regen, lots of storage). We use about 1400gal of drinking water from this system a year between 5 people and 3 pets (I filter their water too), filter media needs replacing every year. (1400/5)*2 = $560/yr cost if purchased water from "Whole Foods" which I don't have access to. I also use the water in the winter for humidifier units, so that probably boosts my usage a lot.

Filter replacement costs are ~$80 per year plus the RO membrane every 5yrs (80/5)
80+16 = $96 per year on media... let's just call it $100 to add margin for o-rings replacement or other tooling or random things.

560 - 100 = $460 savings over "Whole Foods"!! Neat! Not counting the convenience costs too.

Original investment for the system: $580.

Break-even in a bit over 1 year doesn't seem bad. Its been 4 years since I started doing this, so it seems like I am well ahead already.

Input water cost is minimal, I pump ground water so there's no cost other than electricity. There are other costs to my water treatment system that I won't include in the "drinking water" category since that's whole home. I also treat for iron/arsenic, which was a 1.8k filter and costs ~$80 in reagents per year.
Selling exploits (the words explaining how to) is a 1st amendment protected act.

The real solution: companies all should allow for bug bounties and good-faith reporting and proper compensation for reported issues. But as long as they don't another group WILL pay.

I make it all the time. Here's my recipe, it's foolproof.

- 1 gallon whole milk, 1 liter heavy cream.

- Heat to 180F while stirring

- Add half a cup of vinegar and stir thoroughly for a minute or two

Then you just wait until it's cooled enough to pick up and pour through some cloth. After that I salt, add garlic, chopped herb, anything will do.

One tip I can offer is to jar it up before it gets cold so it is easier to get in the jar without air pockets. Lasts in the fridge for a few weeks, freezes fine.

I work at a network VAR partnered with both of these companies, but these thoughts are my own assumptions. HPE didn't immediately implode Aruba, I don't think they'll immediately implode Juniper either. That said, I don't think it's a good move as a fan of Juniper myself. I think Mist/AI led the desire for the acquisition, particularly with their performance in the lower end market last year vs HPE Aruba type products which usually win for higher end enterprise. I'm cautious about how they'll handle the other product lines, particularly on how much the care about them. Obviously nothing is disappearing overnight though, this will be something that shakes out over years.

The potential downside of stopping once you find a critical defect is that the company may not take it seriously unless you go just a bit further and show what you can do with the defect. In this case, showing that it gives you access to the admin dashboard.
It does have a screen for output. In they demo they showed it displaying a stock graph. As for input, I suspect elucidating your desires verbally is a muscle that is developed, like learning to program or be a writer.

For most small and medium businesses (certainly not FANG), you wouldn't amortize the cost of said server but would take it as a Section 179 expense. This would allow the business to expense the full-cost of the server in the year it's placed into service. Section 174 just further commoditizes the software development skill. Question is: can software dev labor costs be expensed via the Section 179 rule, up to the limit (somewhere north of $1.1MM).

Is it really upstream of the water source, or is it its own lake that sometimes, but not often, runs off into the water supply?

The mainstream idea is that Twitter is important, but I haven’t seen much reason to agree. Most apps that rely on it could be served with an RSS feed. Most people I’ve met don’t use Twitter to any measurable degree. The amount of real world change the service has brought is rather low given how often it appears in mainstream media. In fact I see TikTok do more to influence and promote.

We easily can. With the network effect, we can just encourage everyone we know that socializing with real people in real life is important and set up some coffees, lunches, dinners, walks, board games, etc, and then encourage those people to do the same with the people they know.

Won't take very many hops to reach everyone this way and get back on track.
