This doesn't align with general discourse, but Social Media companies aren't alone to blame. Their algo is simple show people what they are watching and engaging with. So, if you are into deeply learning about AI/ML and LLMs you'll get tons of videos on that. On TikTok if you watch Hispanic girls in short skirts, it will show you more of that.

It isn't hugely different from other media; Fox will show you right leaning content and some other left. The two main differences are quantity of content/metrics available allowing for individual level personalization and phone/iPad being in every hand 24/7.

So, while commonly assumed the solution to force Social Media companies to show diverse and boring content. But most successful will be to simply reduce the time spent on these sites/apps. 5 yo don't need own iPad and 10 yo don't need a smartphone. I don't see why anyone younger than 14-16 need phone/computer in school. Books are cheaper than ever; Parks and Skate parks are still there and so are swimming pools. Cooking pizza/burger with kids should still be fun.

If parents are not ready to do parenting, one option is do China have hard limits in devices/accounts on time a child can spend online but that won't work in USA and Western sensibilities.

Embeddings are a type of lossy compression, so roughly speaking, using more embedding bytes for a document preserves more information about what it contains. Typically documents are broken down into chunks, then the embedding for each chunk is stored, so longer documents are represented by more embeddings.

That said, epubs are great for reading books on mobile. The advantage for pdfs is that they contain highlights/notes, so you can directly import them into Zotero and all your annotations are there. For epub, you have to hope there is a way to export the annotations that are stored by the reader app, and then you have to process them further. Readera is a great reader for mobile that makes this possible. I'm currently working on a script that will convert an epub to pdf, extract the annotations from Readera, and mark them in the pdf. Then I can import the pdf into Zotero, while still retaining the great reading experience of epubs.

While you missed the point of the saturation comment, this is why we love AWS Lambda over ECS+Fargate.

Rails has really poor startup time due to loading all codepaths. We switched to Django and it runs beautifuly on AWS Lambda where our CI is more expensive than actual server costs. We're a b2b application so traffic is quite low so we REALLY don't saturate the CPU in a normal Fargate setup.

My prompt for years has been:

Obtaining water rights in some other locale, and piping it into a town some way, is probably easier than competing against a trillion dollar entrenched tech ecosystem.

But the water system, or general utility problem, is interesting for many reasons.

Dual sets of infrastructure double the supply costs for a critical input like water, without actually increasing the supply that nature provides.

The solution to keep costs and prices down is then generally to give (or accept) a water supply monopoly, but with price regulation. That is the common solution to avoid price gouging in that monopoly situation.

Whilst I know he was a curious example, he was obviously a high profile one.

According to the linked article he actually did work for the European Commission (part of the EU executive) as a civil servant.

"He took up a post at the European Commission in April 1994, working in the TACIS aid programme to the former Soviet Union. For two years, Clegg was responsible for developing direct aid programmes in Central Asia and the Caucasus worth €50 million. He was involved in negotiations with Russia on airline overflight rights, and launched a conference in Tashkent in 1993 that founded TRACECA—an international transport programme for the development of a transport corridor for Europe, the Caucasus and Asia. Vice-President and Trade Commissioner Leon Brittan then offered him a job in his private office, as a European Union policy adviser and speechwriter. As part of this role, Clegg was in charge of the EC negotiating team on Chinese and Russian accession talks to the World Trade Organization.[33]"

While you're making a CSV variant, why not go the extra step and remove the single most problematic CSV performance problem and make NSV compatible with high-performance, parallelized processing by eliminating quoting, and instead use escapes for embedded newlines, so that a newline is always a field delimiter and two newlines is always a record delimiter?
I suspect that this has been underway a long time. GPT-4 today seems as good as GPT-3 was in 2022 for most text generation tasks. Lots of answers seem cached-in-memory in some form, then regurgitated and adjusted for different user queries - recent answers seem to follow a template, as compared to organic generation (which is also computationally expensive).

I have a feeling they're purposely reducing the quality of the models, and possibly even relaunching older models as SOTA to show "progress".

Helium is a byproduct of natural gas production.

Only a few wells are even setup to capture it because of the associated economic cost.

If we really care about conserving helium we would probably not vent it directly into the atmosphere while extracting natural gas.

Party balloons are not the problem here.
My chemistry dates back to freshman chemistry long ago. So I am not a chemist.

> The flammability range for hydrogen in air is 4% - 74%, and even though it ignites with difficulty at dilutions higher than 10%, you would still have to dilute it like mad in order to get a provably non-flammable lifting gas

But it could not combust inside the balloon because H doesn't combine with N (at least I don't think it does!). It would have to be released, and then mixed with air to burn. If the balloon popped would it disperse faster than it could burn? I don't know, and simple chemistry would not provide an answer.

One would have to do experiments.
If it's any consolation, it's been around since the 90s
The cost isn't just about things money can compensate. A new mother on maternity leave (or father on paternity leave for that matter) is:

* Not undergoing training (if applicable, eg: a new hire).

* Not gaining and maintaining experience and knowledge in the field.

* Not making business connections with others in the industry and elsewhere.

* Not keeping up (in regards to new standards and ways of doing) with her workplace and the industry at large; IT industries especially so.

* Not providing her manpower, which must be compensated by another employee(s) who can't just be fired or transferred away when (or if) she returns.

Basically, the overhead of accomodating and compensating for employees that maek babby is simply unacceptable for many businesses, especially the smaller ones and particularly if the babby is had very early in their employment or career.

You might say this is sexism and discrimination (even though it's not; childbirth is a choice to be made), but this is the cold harsh reality. People who agree to be employed are expected to work, not maek babby.

This is also a reason for falling birthrates: More people just want to live and work without the sacrifices demanded by childbirth and rearing. They know their life or career they have or dream of could end right there if they choose to have children.

> what would you do if a side is in stalemate and there isn't a stalemate rule?

The game keeps going until one side gets too tired and gives up (or makes a mistake that breaks the stalemate).

Another idea would be a "Fortnite rule": after $X turns, the outermost edge of the board kills any pieces left in it (or becomes "the storm" in Fortnite parlance); repeat every $X turns until someone's forced into checkmate because there's only a 2×2 square left and nowhere else for the kings to go except within each others' attack range.
> it always needs to keep up with the newest bloat. Buy, why?

Because there exists tools that make it easier to ship a good software product to the market, and without these tools, there are many software products that would simply not exist because of the much more prohibitive cost of developing bespoke applications for every platform you want to support. And the flipside to that predicament, not supporting everyone in your target market because you only developed one of the apps you need to develop.

There is a trade off. You aren't getting nothing out of the bargain. Maybe you noticed, but this blog post we're commenting on is actually an advertisement for a software product that only supports MacOS. Seem a bit ironic, doesn't it? I wonder if leveraging Electron might make it simpler to add support for Windows or Linux systems.

On a side note,

> between 1,900 per cent and 6,300 per cent higher than industry has reported

Maybe that's just me, but I find it harder to think in percentages above 200%. I mean, the math is easy, but it is less intuitive. I feel that: "20 to 64 times of what industry has reported" would be easier to grasp and probably also less ambiguous.
Looks like it is for apps (with 1M threshold) and for AppStores app (without threshold).
> idea of social media isn't bad, it is how it is used that is bad

I don't think the "idea of social media" is a thing at all. What is
that idea? We can't really define it. There are some people even
claiming that this hacker forum is "social media" and I definitely
don't come here to be "connected with family through social media".

A whole bunch of diverse ideas have been shoe-horned into a mass-media
neologism "social media" - including; gaming, gambling, advertising,
self-promotion, entertainment, collaboration. Some people's full time
job is basically "social media".

It's become a harmless term that really stands in for talking about a
handful of massive companies that run a sectarian Internet.

More precise, direct and courageous language is needed to approach
problems like this.
"Meat" is capital in wars, and the more you raise the more respectable you and your war, or special-military-operation, is.
It's even better due to the way percentages work - if you undercrank by 10% you get a bit over 11% more time (after 100% of the original time, you still have 10% of the reel left, but you keep undercranking, so by the end of the 10% extra time, you still have 1% of the reel left, etc.).

Some other things to consider:

1. Pure nitrogen is lighter than air. Not enough to lift a balloon, but enough to make the balloon lighter than an air filled one. So it would be a good gas to mix with the hydrogen. Nitrogen gas is cheap, too.

2. Helium could be mixed in with the hydrogen, so the hydrogen would not be concentrated enough to ignite. This would reduce the quantity of helium needed.

I grew up in a different century ("no blood no foul"), so for me the english question "Are you OK?" should normally be answered with "yes" unless there are significant quantities of blood or bones are broken. (I guess a more explicit equivalent would be "are you in need of medical assistance?")

Are you aware of any service or OSS solution for this?
In most cases I'd agree. QA teams/testers can be very professional.

However, having a team that is responsible for Quality can absolutely lower the quality of a product. For starters that team is now, at least in terms of perception and more importantly organisational politics, responsible for quality, so by definition others are not held as responsible. That can have all sorts of perverse side-effects.

Secondly, if the QA team is not very good, then it's just a time sink. Misreported defects, queries about functionality, increased communication, supposed environmental issues all generated spuriously, then take away time from development and other teams. Lost time is not replaceable, and limited time drives down quality.

Lastly, having a separate team lengthens feedback and issues are spotted later in the cycle, this drives quality down too.

My preference is always to keep testing within the team, automate it and make the developers think about and appreciate good testing. Good testers, can absolutely contribute, and exploratory testing can be highly valuable, particularly for systems users directly interact with, but they are, in my experience, pretty rare.
