> In this specific case, it should be clear that you can select multiple options from context or by text, or it should be encouraged to try it out (i.e. easy to undo).

It seems like you're saying that because there isn't anything inherent in the visual difference, it is better to remove the difference entirely and force everyone through a less efficient mechanism with higher cognitive overhead.

> If you need to rely on the visual difference of the icon, then you've already lost more than 50% of the people who don't realise this.

Agreed, but how does having a visual difference mean forcing people to rely on it? The visual difference is purely an augmentation, and one that kicks in early enough that it prevents people from forming an incorrect mental model. At least for some percentage of people—you're saying 50% here, I would hazard at least 95% (of people at least a little familiar with using graphical interfaces). And the remaining 5% aren't being left out in the cold, they can always experiment.

> It's really just a property of a list of checkboxes, how many you can select, not an entirely different class of UI component.

I completely disagree, and in fact I think this is probably the fundamental error. You are talking from an implementation point of view. From the point of view of a user, they are being asked to input very different things. They are picking from a set of options, or they are accepting/rejecting each item in a list of things. It includes a distinction between one and multiple, and I hope you don't think those are handled the same way in our brains. ("Sorry, dear, I thought she was one of my wives.... oh, right! You're the only one I have! I guess I forgot again.") The fact that they can both have a superficial manifestation as a list of options makes it more important, not less, to visually distinguish them. Radio buttons have more in common with a single-selection dropdown than they do with a list of checkboxes.

But the only way to do this is to require ID checks, effectively regulating and destroying the anonymous nature of the internet (and probably unconstitutional under the First Amendment, to boot.)

It's the same problem with requiring age verification for porn. It's not that anyone wants kids to have easy access to this stuff, but that any of these laws will either be (a) unenforceable and useless, or (b) draconian and privacy-destroying.

The government doesn't get to know or regulate the websites I'm visiting, nor should it. And "protecting the children" isn't a valid reason to remove constitutional rights from adults.

I imagine users care far more about how bloated and slow Slack, Teams etc are.

> The definition seems narrowly tailored

The fact that are well over a dozen exceptions carved out strongly suggests that the definition is anything but narrowly tailored, and the authors of the bill preferred to add in exceptions to everyone who objected rather than rethinking their broad definitions.

1a-c will be trivially satisfied by anything that "has user accounts" and "allow users to comment". 1e is clearly meant to cover "algorithmic" recommendations, but it's worded so broadly that a feature that includes "threads you've commented on" would satisfy this prong. 1d is problematic; it can be interpreted so narrowly that nothing applies, or so broadly that everything applies. IANAL, but I think you'd have a decent shot of going after this for unconstitutionally vague on this prong for sure.

Discounting 1d, this means that virtually every website in existence qualifies as social media sites, at least before you start applying exceptions. Not just Facebook or Twitter, but things like Twitch, Discord, Paradox web forums, Usenet, an MMO game, even news sites and Wikipedia are going to qualify as social media platforms.

Actually, given that it's not covered by any of the exceptions, Wikipedia is a social media platform according to Florida, and I guess would therefore be illegal for kids to use. Even more hilariously, Blackboard (the software I had to use in school for all the online stuff at school) qualifies as a social media platform that would be illegal for kids to use.

I had to make another account to comment since I am still here :/ I am quite late to this thread so I don't know if this is useful in any way anymore.

In my second year in college, I started to freelance and had a decent income. On graduation, I decided to keep doing that since I was making way more money from freelancing than most jobs will offer to newgrads. A friend(who I have known since 6-7th standard and we were together for ~4 years) had been asking me to join his company and a mutual also suggested that I should try it out.

I was really conflicted so I went to reddit for advice, Every one there told me not to do it and then I decided to join anyway.

My pay went from ~3500usd/mo(from freelancing) to ~700usd/mo(this is india, So not completely horrible but pretty bad). I had no experience with negotiations and I assumed he didn't have enough money so I didn't ask for more. I dropped freelancing because the contract stated I could not do paid work for more than 5 hours a month.

In 3-4 years I have been here, My pay went from 700 -> 1000 -> 1200 -> 2000 -> 3000(Year 3). After this, They offered a low raise of just ~200 usd(It was slightly higher but due to some tax issues and in the form this extra raise was issued, I would've netted 200 usd). I asked them for 3800 and they offered 4000 usd/mo but then decided to put an extra condition, I can not ask for a raise next year and this is 4k usd/mo for 2 years.

I am one of the oldest person working at this place after the 2 cofounders and 1 other person and I help with almost every thing in my scope and any thing and every thing they need help with.

A few months back, The person handling HR duties added link to a page, I didn't know what it was. I opened and it was compensation data for everyone. Turns out, I am the least paid employee at this place outside of interns and recently hired community managers. (The other people with similar responsibilities and yoe at this place are compensated 12-20k/mo)

I have handled _ALL_ technical infra for this place and I fully own some core backend services. The compensation issue has been bothering me, I assumed they'll pay fairly but I guess not.

I had a good grip on competitive programming(back when I was in college) and I was actively working on a few different side projects(nothing impressive looking back at it now). All of that is dead after 4 years of working at this place. I want to work at good companies but they require a skillset I do not have, I have aging parents so I am too scared to just quit and find another job. I do have good amount of savings(saved 80% of paycheck every month) but I am still scared to quit and find new jobs.

This place has completely broken me and I am tired. I still maintain a friendly relationship with the friend and I probably will continue to do it when/if i leave this place. I only hope they realize they have not been fair to others.

The socket is fine for messages, but not for rendering. Here’s a simplified version of how 3D rendering apps usually work in different environments I have used.

Direct3D on Windows: app renders something and calls IDXGISwapChain.Present. The implementation communicates with the desktop compositor running in the dwm.exe process, dwm.exe renders the entire desktop composed of multiple windows, then communicates with physical GPU to wait for next vertical blank event.

Bare metal Linux with DRM: app renders something, calls drmModePageFlip(), then waits for next vertical blank event with poll() and drmHandleEvent() functions. Embedded Linux developers did an amazing job about DRM/KMS, in my experience the API is both reliable and efficient.

X Window systems have multiple different methods, glXSwapIntervalEXT, glXSwapIntervalMESA, glXSwapIntervalSGI, but in practice none of them is reliable, and on some systems none of them is even supported. Unfortunately, this makes rendering tear-free 3D content on X11-based desktops hard-to-impossible.
Note that deaths per vehicle mile traveled (VMT) went up during Covid. Reducing commuting time doesn't necessarily reduce deaths under that metric -- just the opposite! Commuter trips are probably the safest per VMT since they're the most familiar.

There were stories about this effect, even as total collisions went down because of the bigger drop in VMT[1]. I speculated that this was a combination of

a) the above effect (stripping out the safer commuter trips), plus

b) the roads being dominated by people least willing to follow the advice to stay home, which correlates with being anti-social and reckless (mean though that sounds! [2])

My facebook friends suggested

c) the immense stress of coping with the Covid world made the average person less able to concentrate.

I also suspect:

d) traffic enforcement was reduced and drivers gradually started branching out into more aggressive maneuvers as they became aware of this.

Note that people saw their car insurance rates go down during covid because the typical personal policy only cares about accidents per unit time, and rarely adjusts for miles driven.

But I don't know why it hasn't regressed to the pre-covid levels -- probably because WFH hasn't completely reversed.

Not sure where you are near NYC, But I regularly buy 10lbs of chicken breast or boneless thighs for 1.99lb. for chopmeat I buy in bulk and most of the time for 1.99 lb at 10 lbs a pop. If I run out of the beef, can still get for 2.99lb.

It also doesn't explain what the product actually is.

> You type in the name of the TV show you want to watch, and we'll do the heavy lifting. With over one million episodes at your fingertips, we've got you covered.

So... is this app a media streaming service? Does it host all this content or does it require me to pay for it? Is it legal? How does this help me learn languages - will it provide subtitles? Spoken audio dubbing? Are these AI-generated or does it fetch from existing translation resources?

If it's AI-generated I cannot possibly see how it'll be accurate.

Way too many questions.
> Sustainability and Monetization: How can open-source projects develop sustainable business models without compromising their core principles?

> Dependency and Corporate Support: Given the heavy reliance of big corporations on OSS

Corporations depend on OSS, but they should compensate the developers if the project is a cornerstone of their service/product. This does happen, and I've seen it happen.

> Licensing Challenges: How effective do you find the current open-source licensing models, especially in terms of commercial use? Are there ways these licenses can be adapted to better protect and benefit OSS developers?

It's important to distinguish between 'Gratis' software (free as in free beer) and free, as in 'free speech'. If it's the latter, as in the FLOSS model, developers getting compensated is often a bonus and not the main goal.

> Community Engagement: What strategies have you found effective in building and maintaining a strong, active community around an OSS project?

Do cool stuff, tell people about it. It's that simple. Social media is one way. Another is through word of mouth. If the project fills a gap in the market, people will notice.

> Comparison with Proprietary Software: In your experience, what are the key advantages and disadvantages of OSS versus proprietary software, particularly regarding innovation, quality, and user engagement?

Proprietary software is often closed source and doesn't have community eyeballs on it, so as opposed to FLOSS, it's inferior, but still often needed (I use Windows for example, because I have to, but default to Linux for everything else).
I'm also an advanced Japanese learner and find this disappointing. It would be great if your marketing materials said which languages you support and which you don't. It says "learn any language", but I see a lot of comments in here about oh it doesn't work well with this or that language. It makes sense to focus yourself on the languages that you actually do support. Over promise and under deliver is not the way to build trust or a good product.
> It seems like vaping is close enough to smoking to say that it is functionally close enough to be equated.

Bullshit. Both are nicotine delivery methods. One is far better for both individual and societal reasons. Water and whiskey are both wet, but that doesn't make them the same.

> But you have raised my curiosity about your relationship with vaping. Do you work in the industry?

No, nor do I vape/smoke. I'm just old enough to remember how shitty it was to have smokers everywhere, in a way that isn't the case for vapers... and I've seen the multi-decade decline in lung cancer incidence stats.
I agree it is different, but the jury is out on whether it is better. Banning "social media" is likely to push users to a "lite" version of it. I'm not convinced that will be better.

Consolidation has benefit.

Mao, durring the cultural revolution thought the same thing. That villages could be doing all their own metal work. No one needs a major steel or iron works so break those up and let things be produced locally.

It backfired spectacularly.

There are things that can only be done at scale (steel). There are things that you can let have more linear growth as you scale (accounting), IT.

You get very interesting things when companies get very large. Bell labs, gave us unix (that ATT gave away cause it was a monopoly). Xerox gave us the modern GUI. ML foundations emerged out of google. The funding for 23 and me came from google founders and helped push squencing (capital into that market).

Innovation tends to come from taking smart people throwing piles of money at them, and letting them do their thing.

This was the realm of the aristocracy, then the university, then the government and now it's in the hands of private business. Everyone may hate on musk but rockets that land is progress that got made because he got stupidly rich and beat the incumbants.

If you want something different, you can have that. You can start your own company, run it in the style of Mondragon (cool corp go check them out) and claw your way to the top.
A dear friend of mine had 2.5yo twins when she found out she was expecting what she thought would be baby #3...but ended up being babies 3, 4, 5, and 6! Identical triplet girls and a fraternal boy led to six kids under the age of 4--and she was very insistent that there had been no fertility treatments involved!

By the time I knew her, the quads were in first grade, and everybody seemed happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, but I cannot even imagine making it through four newborns and a pair of 3yos without a village!

You don’t stop being andy99 just because you’re a little tired, do you? Being tired makes everyone a little less capable at most things. Sometimes, a lot less capable.

In traditional software, the same program compiled for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures won’t be able to handle all of the same inputs, because the 32-bit version is limited by the available address space. It’s still the same program.

If we’re not willing to declare that you are a completely separate person when you’re tired, or that 32-bit and 64-bit versions are completely different programs, then I don’t think it’s worth getting overly philosophical about quantization. A quantized model is still the same model.

The quality loss from using 4+ bit quantization is minimal, in my experience.

Yes, it has a small impact on accuracy, but with massive efficiency gains. I don’t really think anyone should be running the full models outside of research in the first place. If anything, the quantized models should be considered the “real” models, and the full fp16/fp32 model should just be considered a research artifact distinct from the model. But this philosophical rabbit hole doesn’t seem to lead anywhere interesting to me.

Various papers have shown that 4-bit quantization is a great balance. One example: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.09720.pdf

In a team of individuals, the term isn't necessarily "blameless". I'd never hold a weird or accidental outage against you personally. The major question would be: Why did that happen?

However, you're forever going to be the fucking guy causing a database outage on Christmas. You might have had no choice, but fuck you.

But then the question is: Why do we all have these scars? Maybe the system we're dealing with is not as great as it should be? Maybe the localized amount of anger is just a thing leading towards a more systematic problem. Oops, back into the ideas of blameless post-mortems.
