i don't know why people are cheering for this?

the government shouldn't take the place of the parents.

I think the real reason is they don't like how tiktok is creating activists out of the next generation of voters.

we should demand better from big tech but banning does nothing to improve platforms.

so many adults here were on forums, 4chan, mmos, ventrilo growing up, even Facebook which was useful keeping in touch as a kid.
You compare it to the cost of developing and certifying a new safety critical system. I recommend the recent talk from the team that investigated the Polish train corruption scandal. It goes into the hardware and software on these older train systems. They're essentially using them as PLC controllers, not as networked general purpose machines.
This is a really good resource for learning TUIs, thank you for sharing.

A: It was a phone which is a useful too.

B: Are you ignoring having unlimited data and a useful browser that you can use anywhere? I bought the first iphone the day it came out because I had been looking for a product like that for ages but all the browsers were kinda clunky and/or they were limited to wifi/extremely terrible data prices.
Rumination Alters Brain's Response to Social Rejection
It takes a wall. Most people that can afford a $3,500 VR toy usually have at least one wall - often at least 4 of them, even!
I don't think those are really comparable. Spending a ton of money on a home theater is a large and static purchase. You put it in your home, and that's it, you can't move it easily or adapt it much. The Vision Pro, on top of having other functionalities, lets you have that home theater experience anywhere. Want o watch in bed? on the couch? outside on porch? waiting at the airport? People spend a lot more on phones because of the portability aspect.
The study shows a doubling in the rate at which tech debt code is produced and checked into the repo.

Anecdotally, as a principal engineer, I’ve definitely noticed that new senior engineers on the team that say they are using chatgpt/copilot produce unprecedentedly bad code at unprecedented rates.

It takes me 2-3x longer to unwind such crap than it would for me to write it from scratch.

As we grow the team, this will definitely put us out of business unless we find a way to fix it.

Currently, we’re hoping the AI assisted engineers will get better at unborking code before merging it, but that’s a harder task than RTFM or going to stack overflow to copy-paste.
This is using phi-2, so the first assumption would be that it's local. It's a tiny little model in the grand scheme of things.

I've been toying around with something similar myself, only I want push-to-talk from my phone. There's a route there with a WebRTC SPA, and it feels like it should be doable just by stringing together the right bits of various tech demos, but just understanding how to string everything together is more effort than it should be if you're not familiar with the tech.

What's really annoying is Whisper's latency. It's not really designed for this sort of streaming use-case, they're only masking its unsuitability here by throwing (comparatively) ludicrous compute at it.
Because regulation worked so well in eliminating peer pressure for drinking, smoking, and drugs.
One of the best movies ever made. It was my first Kubrick movie. And then I was hooked. And this is where I became George Scott fan.
I'm almost invariably anti-regulation, but in this case - absolutely!

There's extensive evidence that social media is exceptionally harmful to people, especially children. And in this case there's also a major network effect. People want to be on social media because their friends are. It's like peer pressure, but bumped up by orders of magnitude, and in a completely socially acceptable way. When it's illegal that pressure will still be there because of course plenty of kids will still use it, but it'll be greatly mitigated and more like normal vices such as alcohol/smoking/drugs/etc. It'll also shove usage out of sight which will again help to reduce the peer pressure effects.

This will also motivate the creation/spread/usage of means of organizing/chatting/etc outside of social media. This just seems like a massive win-win scenario where basically nothing of value is being lost.
Can we not simply say a shortage is when there's not enough of something. In this case, available drivers willing to work for the compensation they're willing to pay?
For several bosses, this scenario you describe has fallen under the concept of 'kill your heroes'.

Sometimes the person really is brilliant and you should do anything to keep them. But if it's because they're the only one who understands their code, then they are a liability.
Yes, X is doing it because Taylor Swift is an important figure for their platform. Jane could sue, but X would claim no responsibility and there would be no loss to X if she left the platform.
Spirituality (and religion) are personal choice.
There is no "religious education" for children, only indoctrination.
It may be legal, but it is in no way moral.
You could, but you then have to recompile the world with this new information stored as a ELF header or something, and good luck if the library is not written in C (so it has its own conventions, ABI, memory model and binary format)

I'm talking about the status quo today, not how you can improve in a perfect world where everybody adopts a better way of doing things.

Implementing an half-baked Smalltalk layer on top of UNIX will not turn UNIX into a Smalltalk environment.
I love transcripts because I basically can’t both take notes and actively pay attention (this was a huge problem with my trig and calc teacher in high school who insisted everyone take notes the entire class period and would get mad at you if she saw you not taking notes—I’d end the class with a bunch of pages of writing and no clue WTF any of it was about)
They're having fewer difficulties than the Navy and Army, but recruiting has been a struggle for the Coast Guard too. Here's an article from earlier this month: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/01/17/coast-guard-a...

> The Coast Guard has struggled to bring in recruits, failing to meet its enlisted goals for the past four years. In mid-2023, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan told Congress that the service was short 3,500 members, while the service's fiscal 2024 budget request reported a shortfall of 4,800, or nearly 10% of its force.

I don't cross paths with a lot of Coast Guard folks, but I was talking to one a few months ago who painted an ugly picture of what this looks like at the ground level. People from his station are getting pulled as individual augmentees for operational deployments in other places while everybody else works a number of double shifts to cover the duties at their own station.

With that said, I'm not shocked by webworker's story. Part of the recruiting crisis is due to the recruiting apparatus being pretty dysfunctional. Hence the article about the Coast Guard announcing reforms to who does recruiting and how they'll be trained. The Army also announced similar reforms last year.
Don’t use this outdated API. There’s a new and far better one called ImageAnalyzer from Apple. This tool doesn’t use it because of legacy tech debt decisions they made
I'm just laughing at the Japanese scientist who downloads the image data, converts it to a regular file format and then goes into photo viewer and clicks the "Rotate" button twice to flip the image so that it's the right way up.
Can't hate it, but I can't love it either. I wish some other more "normal" languages (Ruby? Python?) had a better "shell" story and dotnet integration.
I wanted to tell you about my favourite Instant Messenger
Nice, I worked on something similar during COVID but it was more about preparing and tracking needed discussions well enough that you don't have to have the meeting in the first place (company failed, open source code is at https://github.com/async-go/asyncgo). We found that, at least at that time, companies fell into two camps - they were already doing async well and writing things down and didn't need us, or they were just desperately waiting for COVID lockdowns to end so they could get people back into meeting rooms - they don't see it as a problem, had never seen it work any other way, and so we couldn't solve it for them.

If I can share anything or just talk through my experiences let me know. I think reducing time spent in nonsense meetings actually does make the world a better place for the humans in it, at least a little bit.
> But if it works it would be very exciting for DRAM and NAND.

Japan back in control of DRAM, nature is healing
What are the 2024 Oscar movies about?
It sounds like you didn't read the post. It's not an assumption, it's the explanation of why.
Comments just based on the headline are usually lower quality.
I don’t think “blameless” and “shared responsibility” are mutually exclusive, in fact, they are two halves to this same coin. The dictionary definition of “blameless” does not encompass the practical application of a “blameless” culture, which can be confusing.

The “blameless” part here means the individual who directly triggered the event is not culpable as long as they acted reasonably and per procedure. The “shared responsibility” part is how the organization views the problem and thus how they approach mitigating for the future.
> it’s not the government’s job to protect people from scams ahead of time.

What a strange claim. Protecting people from scams is literally what the Federal Trade Commission is for, among other agencies. Bankman-Fried was arrested due to breaking existing laws that define what some scams are ahead of time.

> Nobody’s Labour ever makes a difference.

I can see why some people with little to no experience in business or starting companies can get this impression and form pessimistic opinions based on negative stuff you hear in the news or social media. Fortunately, it’s only true of the worst offenders, and not generally true. People’s efforts do make the difference to the success of startups all the time. Having money for sure helps, and primarily affects whether people can afford to try, and for how long, but it’s not as good at ensuring success, effort and timing and luck play larger roles there.

> The bigger the company, the higher the risk.

Why do you believe this? I’d guess fund managers and most investors would outright disagree. The safest single company stocks are the largest companies. A bigger company may have more to lose, but they’re bigger in the first place only because they survived the small and medium phases. The probability of a company failing is much higher when small, and most startups fail before ever getting to small company size, and most of those fail before getting to the medium or large company size.
I had a boss once who did this, whenever a meeting was done before the scheduled time, he would start talking about some vaguely relevant experience or similar. When someone asked about this, he actually said that he felt responsible for not wasting everyones time, now that they were there anyway. I think he just liked having a captive audience.
> IP address reputation.

Care to elaborate? We already had other comments stating it's not a problem. I would love to hear some first-hand accounts substantiating these claims.
Is it significantly above market rate when adjusted for experience level and overtime? They say "make up to" which is meaningless (maybe that's a 20 year driver hired for a particularly unpleasant route in a tight market). And I know some truck drivers can get overtime doing extra shifts which can make up a lot of their income. I'd like to see a real comparison between the experience level and kind of driving (long/short haul, day/night whatever other industry divisions) vs the median income rather than the meaningless comparison with the "up to" number before drawing any conclusions about how well they pay.
There are lots of people living by themselves or at least spending a lot of time consuming content by themselves.

As for comfort wearing this for extended periods of time, we'll have to see. I think that will be the key deciding factor. There was a lot of marketing speak in the original announcement suggesting that they did work quite hard on this issue and made some progress. A light enough device that can provide the experience of having a ginormous screen in front of your nose without inducing headaches, motion sickness, etc. could be a nice thing to have. If somebody delivers such a thing, people will be reluctant to turn them off possibly.

As for replacing existing things, there's a long history of people thinking about new products in terms of how the old one worked. The more interesting question to ask is what new content will emerge for this thing.
Imagine porting this to a dedicated app that can access the context of the open window and the text on the screen, providing an almost real-time assistant for everything you do on screen.

You're proving the argument that the parent set forth. Anyone who wants to visit Pornhub can just visit one of the many sites that isn't abiding by the new law. However, that's not due to a lack of legislation, but rather a lack of enforcement, or, perhaps, enforceability. If laws always worked I'd be for more of them. My argument is not that we should never make laws because it's futile but rather that some laws are more futile than others and having laws go unenforced weakens government and enforcing them inequitably is injust.

> Like even in our worst nightmares of climate change it's probably still easier to live on earth than on Mars no matter how much we put into Mars.

Yes, absolubtely. The idea that mars is a hedge against climate change is ridiculous in the short term.

I do however deeply believe that its worthwhile to go there. It is definately possible to sustain there, that i'm relatively sure of. Theres a definate appeal to me of all these places - antarctica, underwater living, the desert, the ocean. The idea of a regimented life against the elements appeals to me. I feel sometimes like im grasping at straws to justify why. I think its wanderlust. Why go to antarctica? why study the jungle? why not stay at home and grow rice and live a simple life?
This is where I stopped reading the story. I couldn't tell that we were getting to the point of answering the titled question. I'm guessing it's the blameless culture/process that keeps information flowing and improvements made.

'Blameless' doesn't work for corporations though.
I support this. Normally, I think government intervention is bad and parents should be in control. But, as a parent myself, it was hard not to allow my child to have a phone when she kept saying, "Everyone has one. I'll be the only one without a phone". No one wants their child left out or left behind. This will remove that rationale.
1000 years is a pretty big range
Well, unfortunately some otherwise great physics educators intentionally stoke that fire, portraying the current particle physics agenda as if its some conspiracy to waste funding rather than the consensus of thousands of the best minds in physics. Selling people a superficial sense of contrarian insight ends up being a very successful marketing tactic.

Are there a lot of people who live alone in a small apartment that are willing and able to buy a $3500 headset?

I feel like this entire thread has a blind spot to the fact that this device is very much a luxury item. A 55-inch TV is ~$300. A high-end laptop is ~$1000. High-end noise-cancelling headphones are ~$250. You could buy all of those and still not reach half of the cost of this device.

The only people I can see buying the device are rich people looking for another toy, not as a serious competitor to other entertainment tech.
In economics you can’t have a shortage in a perfect market as you note. Of course most (all?) markets are imperfect so various factors can cause shortages (eg rent controls is a common example). For labor markets imperfect mobility can cause a shortage.

In common use it means that something costs more than many people are willing to pay for it. So your Ferrari example would be a valid use under this meaning.
Some observations I've made about the film and haven't seen anyone else make:

* "Strangelove" = "Strangle" + "Glove"

* In many war room scenes, if you squint, the table looks like a mushroom cloud. The circular light above the table is the "halo" of the mushroom cloud.

* When Mandrake first learns what General Ripper is up to, at one point the camera angle makes it look like Mandrake is a tiny doll of a man standing on General Ripper's desk.

* The film features many nested levels of self-destruct systems interfering with each other. The Doomsday Device, the decision to help the USSR shoot down the bombers, even the bomber's own self-destruct system (which ironically blows itself up, not the plane, and in the process destroys the decoder system so the crew can't receive the recall code). For example, if the president hadn't helped the USSR attack the bombers, then said decoder wouldn't have been destroyed, and Armageddon would've been avoided.

* The closing scenes feature real atomic blast footage, some with ships nearby. Some analysts incorrectly think this is a continuity error, as the Doomsday Device was landlocked. But in fact it's perfectly consistent with the last lines of dialog: even post-Doomsday Device, mankind cannot even get along to escape into the mineshafts peacefully, instead entering a full-scale nuclear conflict despite the futility of it all.
Right —- I find it interesting that Hollywood and modern life (horse racing and our own sedentary existence) has skewed our perception of this.

An averagely fit horse can travel maybe ten miles further than an averagely fit person in a day. But not as far if you expect them to maintain a pace faster than a person, with a person and belongings on their back.

At the limits of our endurance, human ultra-runners perform about as well as horses over very long distances in terms of simple endurance — carrying our own weight without stopping. It’s only over short distances that horses have such obvious advantages.

If you had a horse and you needed to cover great distance, you spent as much of that time as you could doing your own walking.
Yes, parents should not have unlimited rights to determine what is good/bad for their children.

Social media is a powerful, addictive and dangerous. Pretty much anywhere on this earth, parents will end up in jail or lose custody of their kids, if they give them harmful substances like drugs. Social media should be regulated like how drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes are regulated.
>I actually thought that this sort of law would be disallowed by the fed, since they reserve the right to govern interstate commerce

Yes, the US Constitution gives regulation of interstate commerce to the federal government, but this has been worked around. Lots of states have "use tax" which is an obvious[1] tax on interstate commerce, but they skirt the Constitution by saying they're taxing "use" of the goods purchased within their own state, not the interstate commerce involved. It's possible the AZ law could be written in a way that claims to tax something that happens within the state, while still being for all intents and purposes a tax on interstate commerce. And probably nobody would do anything about it.

[1] The tax is computed 100% based on the money exchanged in interstate commerce, and 0% based on usage.
> Statistically, Apple users are far more likely to spend money on apps and in-app purchases than on any other application platform. Mainstream users may feel entitled to free apps but Apple users typically don't fit that mold.

Yes, Apple users are willing to pay for software... once. But then they want that one payment to apply to every Apple device: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, Vision Pro, etc. They don't want to pay separately for each Apple platform.
Remote operation on public highways is a dead end. There is no wireless data network with the latency and reliability guarantees necessary for safety. Particularly when it comes to tunnels, canyons, and heavy precipitation. And let's not have any ridiculous claims about how in case of a network connection failure the truck can just autonomously pull over and stop; that's not going to work safely for descending I-70 in a snowstorm.

There may be some limited use cases for remote operation on specific local routes where sufficient network access points can be provisioned.
Are there any that arent?

https://github.com/cat-milk/Anime-Girls-Holding-Programming-... has a subset.
Yup. I just want to fast-forward through the "omg this changes everything" hype articles from first time VR users in the grip of peak novelty euphoria and get to the "I've not touched my AVP for 6 months" dehype phase.

I enjoy VR but I feel really done with headsets. I find them more irritating to wear than covid masks and look how folk feel about those. Itchy sweaty forehead, dig into your cheeks, head straps messing your hair, can't lie down on your side, scuba face when you take it off. Once the genuinely awesome experiences get old and passe, it becomes pretty tiresome.
We don't even have to speculate, isn't it already the case for <13yo? Or is just Europe? Anyway - yeah, of course they're still on it. Expect less compliance and harder enforcement the older they are, not more/easier.
Yeah, it's like having a medical scribe around. Taking notes requires a different kind of attention than engaging in conversation, and the switching can be really difficult.

Anyway, even with a software scribe, meetings should probably end with attendees reviewing and agreeing on some kind of written document which will be the meeting's artifact. You know, so people can refer to it later. Of course this never happens, because in meetings people get bored and tired and it's easier to just give everyone the Zoom wave and crawl to the sofa.
The font size is fine, but buttons and links are way too small, especially vote buttons.
Cell phones existed before the iPhone came out. The iPhone didn't solve that problem any better than a regular Nokia phone at the time. It's not about the problem it's solving, it's how it solves it. Apple solves problems in ways that actually make using the product enjoyable.
There are people trying to frankenstain-merge Mistral and Whisper in a single multimodal model [1]. I wonder if this could improve the latency.

Meetings at my company are derailed by having a lot of Ph.Ds who cannot ask a question or make a comment without spending 5 minutes talking, usually repeating the same thing over and over in different ways. If I schedule a 25 minute meeting and write an agenda with three topics in it, we'll get through half of one topic in that meeting. So I plan to schedule 2x50 minute meetings on separate days. It's a catastrophic waste of time.

And you can't ask people to submit questions or read documents or watch demo videos in advance, because they just won't do it. They'll say "my schedule is so full of meetings, I couldn't do the prep work". Well, it's full of meetings because we have 2x50 minute meetings to do what we should be able to do in one 25 minute meeting.

All those things were horrible for us. I can't imagine the nightmare of combining that with the use of my real name. Like yeah, I want a free for all, but how bad does something have to be before we say no way?
Drinking, smoking and drugs don't depend on a central point of control. Social media companies of any significance can be counted on two hands, and are accountable to corporate boards.
So, maybe it a law - but requiring parents-guardians to enforce it, and not the state - sounds like a reasonable inbetween?
