My son has a severe intellectual disability, he's non verbal, still wears diapers (age 12), and requires assistance in almost every aspect of his life. I still remember the day we received his diagnosis 9 years ago. The word "devastating" can only describe a small part of what we felt. Today, I consider him a gift from God. He made everything fall into perspective. His purity and unconditional love brings us tremendous joy, even though the physical and mental aspects of caring for him can be tiresome sometimes.

I know how it feels when calamity hits. It's ugly. But with, time it gets easier. Hang in there, and know that you're not alone.
The main doctrine of Buddhism is that eternal bliss is possible, how is that not optimistic? I'm a Jodo Shinshu Pure Land Buddhist and as far as I can tell all Buddhists believe in this, it's the third noble truth after all.

To me it seems more optimistic to think that our current life is somehow limited and flawed and that a mind and experience beyond it is possible (Buddhahood) than to think that it's not possible and we are stuck as limited suffering beings.
Reddit is perhaps the web's best example of enshittification. I've never seen such a level of self-sabotage before as seen with the old -> new reddit UX change. That is compounded by the growing dominance of state and corporate manipulation, now made all the easier by generative AI. This amounts to extremely stiff headwinds for reddit. I wouldn't touch that investment with a 10-foot pole. It's just a tottering corpse waiting to keel over.

It’s easy, it’s simple, it’s designed for learning.
You used "some" in a lot of your sentences and that sums it up perfectly. Some people work better at home, some people work better in an office. Some jobs require more collaboration than others. I am the first to admit that meetings are usually a tad more productive in person but arbitrary "two days at office" policies make no sense, especially if there is not a policy where everybody has to go in on the same day(s).

Office mandates are dumb and it should be left up to individual team leaders.
> And I agree. It’s not as though I can jump over to DuckDuckGo or Bing and my search quality radically increases. Usually the opposite.

I acknowledge that it is a paid service, but you haven't tried Kagi yet you should give it a go! Default Search quality is very good, with no ads, tracking, or telemetry, and you can use Lenses and customizations to get even better results. You can even block certain sites from appearing in search (or simply de-rank them), which has dramatically reduced Pinterest and other SEO spam for me.
This is the important observation. A 40% CAGR would be terrifying to Google.
An interest in science and art is not something most of us need to be reminded about; it’s the default. At best doodles are mildly informative, but mostly they’re patronising distractions.
I think it depends. Some companies won't care one way or another. They're looking at your skills more than where you got them. Some companies will consider it a positive, and some will consider it a negative, depending on how much they resemble how Google does things.
The language definitely has a few quirks, a couple of them load-bearing, probably from the ocaml heritage. If you need really tight consistent syntax, well... it's better than ocaml but yeah rescript is probably not the language for you. I find I can tolerate a fair bit of wool if the underlying abstractions are powerful and easy to work with.

FWIW on this specific thing, I've used rescript quite a lot and I'm not sure I've ever written an object literal or declared an object type. They come from JS, but I almost always shift them into a real type in the extern binding.

You can't destructure or pattern match on them. Which both encourages coercing them and prevents the possibility of misusing them as records when you've chosen to keep them as objects. I'm not trying to change your mind on an aesthetic judgement, just this one doesn't come up that much.
My daily driver is a 2013 ThinkPad. It's not usable for gaming, but other than that, I just never notice any performance problems (except Android Studio, but Android Studio seems to be Uniquely Bad (TM)).
I used DDG as my standard but I find that I still need to go to google for all the conveniences that they have built into their search functionality. I have to give them credit they have figured out somethings to keep you binded to their search.
I do indeed want a PDF reader like experience, but for ePub files. If SumatraPDF can deliver that (for macOS), that would be great!
You absolutely can. States did exactly that with Medicaid expansion funding; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid_coverage_gap

This would be an even bigger waste than that, given the relatively small condition being applied, but opting out for ideological reasons is clearly doable.
>I got tons of what looked like knock offs and spam, with big bright video previews and no official looking site.

Same for me on most searches. Bing is far too cluttered and busy, all over the place, making your eyes constantly hunt to find what you're looking for.

Microsoft, if you're reading this, simpler is almost always better, no need to make the results page look like an Arch user's terminal session.
Despite Microsoft aggressive push (via Edge)?! Surprised…
The way it developed is really sad. The core product is so good I still go there but it feels like they're actively trying to make everything as bad and slow as possible.
Very much sounds like you’re conflating multiple issues. This isn’t just “things that you don’t like about the internet”.
Why does this need to be an app? Why not just release the hashes?
This seems like the best option, because it works just as well if the child components are loaded async (Ie: a tab component loading sub tabs on hover, and then the parent tab container needing to subscribe to that)
It's pretty apt since the argument doesn't either[1].

[1]Taler requires explicit user action for payment, it's not like publishers can charge you for scrolling.
I disagree on all fronts.

This is a type of whiskey I've never heard of, and the approach - distinctly anti-seed-cartel and pro-Indigenous culture - resonates with me.

Further, it's an exploration of the how and why of a newly-developing type of product; at no point does it link directly to a storefront or even a first-party blog post, just the websites of some of the parties in question.

All content is an advertisement at the end of the day (or indirectly sponsored)

This is not true at all. General writing is not an advertisement and you could say that talking about a project is promoting it, but this is a straight advertisement for https://granmaizal.com/ https://abasolowhisky.com/en/home/ https://www.sierranortewhiskey.com/ and https://www.maiznation.com/en/taller

Anyone who has worked with a PR firm knows that a big part of it is trying to get articles like this placed on big web sites and it isn't cheap.
That's a feature to make you more hire-able.
I think the absolute best pitch for LLMs is a natural language interface to things like PDFs. The vision of being able to "talk to" a book or paper rather than having to scroll and scroll is compelling. The same obviously also would apply to the Internet. For some reason, they just can't seem to pull that off. Asking ChatGPT to summarize an article is just a disaster.
it's not CAGR since there is nothing to compound
What about Ziglang?
Oh God... here we go again...
Not joking. Touchscreen friendly gloves mistaps too frequently, especially thumbs in one hand mode - essential when standing in transit. My solution is pair of thin, very well form fitting glove liners underneath gloves. Or using a stylus. Both of which requires two hands. Hence very specific day dreaming about controlling phone with eyes and mouth.

I will give the liquid a try though. I have some nice fit old leather gloves that aren't touch screen compatible.

Yeah, measuring productivity is a complex topic. You probably don't even know the productivity yourself, or by story points or whatever.

But saying "the market will fix it" doesn't really help you when you're a business owner. You're telling him to just go with any approach, and if his company tanks, the market is working as intended. Not that much guidance. I understand that employees don't have to care, they can switch to a surviving employer.

Sounds like my coworker telling a marketing campaign operator he has yet again let Excel interpret phone numbers as integers. And that he should learn to properly wield Excel. The downstream system is a call center made of humans. They lose a few seconds inputting the phone number manually though. No lead is lost. I don't want to speculate too much, but I think we might be in the clear. The client is not losing too much money. But if he complains once, we'll have to implement more checks to validate the Excel file. Then I'll have to buy my coworker breakfast, so that he doesn't bitch the whole implementation time. Such is life.
The Supreme Court has historically upheld the first amendment pretty well. You can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater and the like, it doesn't mean you can say anything by legal precedent, but you can say a lot. On a historical time scale, it seems like a steady stream of legislation get passed and completely struck down or neutered into irrelevance on first contact with the Supreme Court shortly after attempted enforcement.

I guess the optics are good in taking money from entrenched interests and looking good to your constituents on passing stuff that the Supreme Court will neuter in less than a year. I just find it boggling that they don't even try to write legislation that will stand challenge.
Crazy how many titles there are in academia. What is the distinction between provost/dean/chancellor/president/etc.
Hmm, maybe I was too harsh. I got the change log here: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-S916B/XSA/doc.html

Seems like anywhere between one to three weeks. I think the auto update is a bit lazy. Had to force update on mine just now to make it get January update.
That Microsoft only made Bing Chat available from Edge shows that they still don't understand the web. Everyone uses Chrome today, because they started using Google first, from whatever browser they were using.

I don’t want to be glib, but a million dollars to get out of hell seems cheap.
htmx’s growth trajectory isn’t as steep as you’re making out with that expectation. I remember seeing conference talks about it ages ago. It’s ostensibly getting more interest now sure, if not legitimate adoption, but it does feel like more of the early starters would have something to share by now.

For the record, I hope that it succeeds.
The WSJ Opinion pages are pure climate denial propaganda. Even the WSJ's actual journalists think so.
It's so interesting to see the range of experiences that fall under the definition of schizophrenia. In recent years I've seen more people who have this genre of schizophrenia (specific and realistic hallucinations, but not many other effects) posting online and sharing their experiences.

My close family member has a different genre of schizophrenia. Less about specific hallucinations that you can logic away, more about an overwhelming feeling of doom and making connections between unrelated events that cause you "realize" that the world out to get you. Neutral events take on menacing vibes and mildly negative events take on terrifying vibes. On top of that, depression, apathy, catatonia. Hours of sitting and staring at walls.
My first thought was that this article is about Obsidian Entertainment (videogame development company).
I am a professional game developer and have been in the industry for 25 years. I am a few years ahead of you with a 14 year old son whose interest in computers and gamedev I've been cultivating since he was around 4.

What I find interesting about your post is that your son is designing on paper. He may be a Game Designer at heart and not a technologist, so you'll have to tease that out. The difference would be whether what he really wants is to learn to build, or to have his thing built.

As a Game Designer, he'll be more interested in the rules, the world, the story, the Game as it lives in his mind.

As a Game Developer, he'll be more interested in the tools, the technology, the experience of playing it on the computer, and hopefully the struggle of iteration and building!

There is a high likelihood that, at 9 years old, what he is envisioning is totally unrealistic for you guys to attempt to build. You are cursed with the skills of a competent developer who is up for a challenge, so you might think it's reasonable to attempt. I'd be careful here. This isn't up to you to "not let him down". Sure, you're Dad and you're awesome, but even John Carmack would hesitate to guarantee he could make good on a 9 year old's first game design. :)

It also sounds like you're unfamiliar with game tech, so this will be a learning experience for you. Are you up for it for its own sake? Or are you just trying to make good on your son's vision? That is a big hill to climb to just have your son look at what you made and go "meh".

So if you think it's interesting to try out, and you guys want to give it a go, I still think the best starter pack for gamedev is Tom Francis's series on Unity on Youtube called "Make A Game In Unity With No Experience".

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUtKzyIe0aB3TZfe2wsIg...

Mind you, this is a 3 year old series. Unity is an evolving platform. Stick to what Tom is using and you'll be okay.
I'm not sure this even makes sense on more abstract level - AI "deep fake" bad, but making the same content with couple motionFX guys using Maya ok?

Where's the distinction and in what way is AI even relevant here, other than the buzzwordy news release?
Last I checked, LibriVox had about 11 hours of Mandarin audiobooks and Common Voice has 234 validated hours of "Chinese (China)" (probably corresponding to Mandarin as spoken on the mainland paired with text in Simplified characters, but who knows) and 77 validated hours of "Chinese (Taiwan)" (probably Taiwanese Mandarin paired with Traditional characters).

Not sure whether that's enough data for you. (If you need paired text for the LibriVox audiobooks, I can provide you with versions where I "fixed" the original text to match the audiobook content e.g. when someone skipped a line.)
So, I would say that pilot error is a primary factor in this case. But, that still leaves open the question of why the error occurred and whether there is anything we can do to reduce the probability of it happening again. I highly doubt the Captain is simply stupid or incompetent given all of his experience. Perhaps, the crew was overly fatigued? People make mistakes, sometimes big ones. The question is how to reduce mistakes and how to limit damage from those mistakes.
I visit Thailand every few years, and it was interesting seeing all the new cannabis businesses there on my most recent trip. The distribution was interesting: lots of stores in touristy areas, but very few (basically none) in less touristy areas. And I’m not even talking rural, there’s plenty of very dense areas in Bangkok without a dispensary for miles.

Despite the legalization, locals weren’t indulging broadly. You could theorize that it’s prohibitively expensive compared to average wages. But retail sales are quite strong in Thailand. People are more than willing to spend their disposable income at extravagant malls, on cosmetics, designer brands, etc. I think it’s maybe more that the average Thai citizen just doesn’t care too much about cannabis.

Still a shame to see a policy shift to criminalize nonviolent activity.
But hey, think of the money they saved before that!
My parents don't even know about chatgpt, the current gen of ai, &c. and they're not even retired yet. It's a bubble, most peeople don't know about it and most of the people who know about it heard of it through TV/Web news with "AI will replace your job in 6 months" kind of BS.

idk why bing would become super popular all of a sudden when a good 90% of the web users are tech illiterate. In most people's head internet = google = chrome (and apple = safari because it just works)

I agree it's totally necessary to do this to live a fulfilling life, however it's unrealistic for most. It usually takes hundreds of hours of psychoanalysis to even come close to "getting over it", or even discovering what "it" is in the first place. Unfortunately most countries healthcare systems and/or peoples' wallets aren't equipped to deal with that.

It's not so straight-forward.

Mechanically linked dual controls, like those on this aircraft, do give you indication that the other pilot is operating them (i.e. your controls physically move in tandem with their inputs). The problem is that if you both provide exactly opposite inputs at the same time both parties can interpret the physical resistance as jammed controls. An audible warning could be useful, but it could also fail if you're in a critical situation that has triggered other audible alerts (e.g. an audible stall warning). Audible warnings also carry the danger of not being comprehensive - if pilots come to rely on warnings of input conflicts instead of training to use explicit verbal communication, they may mistakenly assume that the absence of a conflicting input warning means there is no conflicting input (which may not be the case if the warning system is not absolutely comprehensive).

Another approach here is to have a mechanism that allows one pilot to lock-the controls of the other pilot, coupled with some sort of visual/audible indication as to who is in control. This is sort of a different spin on the 'explicit communication' approach.
After double checking, it seems that Subscription Guidelines under "3.1.3(f) Free Stand-alone Apps" don't need to give money to apple. So you are correct, my statement wasn't entirely exact.

However the core of the issue remain: the whole conversation around the fees is because there is no competition allowed. Let other app store exists and the problem is fixed.

While I don't think it's enough to drive people to a different product, the fact that Google search is noticeably worse than in prior years has definitely gained mainstream attention. The amount of ads and SEO junk has caused frustration, but the alternatives aren't well known for most people to bother to switch.

It's so easy to try out another search engine, and people do all the time. It's also easy to set any search engine as the default, unless you use iOS. It's also super easy to use different search engines in parallel. I often search HN for a different perspective and for live search. Sometimes also github. And of course amazon, whenever I want to order something.
How about this, why don't SK, UK, French and US regulators get together and agree on a common set of regulations for reactor design. Then they can focus on the site specific regulations unique to each installation.
If it means there's never an "unexpected item in bagging area" it probably overall reduces time.
In UK they have signs that say "to the left"! Some people may get confused and panic for a moment. It is incredibly stupid and dangerous!
You can say that you like it, that you think it should be here, that you're glad you saw it and that it's interesting, because those are your opinions, but to say it's not an advertisement is denying reality.
