Most importantly though, they were a HUGE distraction. Any time the lesson got boring because the teacher wasn't good or just not good at getting the kids engaged in the lesson (which happened quite often sadly, but that is another discussion) we would all just start playing on the computers. Some kids came to school just to play videogames and barely learned anything.

I would not fault computers here. At my school time, when pupils were bored, they covertly played card games like Skat [a German card game] or graph paper games like Battleship, Racetrack, Connect Four, ... under the school desks.

I still remember this one girl who, when the teacher confiscated one deck of Skat cards, the moment that the teacher looked away, simply took out another deck from her school bag, and play continued (she played Skat semi-competitively, so she nearly always had, I think, dozens of decks of Skat cards in her school bag).

Another former friend had an insane creativity in turning stuff that one could find in a pencil case into contraptions for shooting rubber pieces.

Should I consume 1-2 meta-analyses per day, and is there any risk associated if that number increases to 5+?
Just to provide a contrary (or tempering?) opinion about the broader context --

Civil asset forfeiture seems to be loved so much on Reddit as some kind of evil boogeyman that's coming for each of us, by corrupt police forces stopping you just when you happen to carry cash around from selling your car, or things like that. It's talked about as if people were getting struck by lighting or bitten by sharks every minute in the US.

But the actual cases of this tool/legal mechanism being used are incredibly rare. The paper linked doesn't even go into any stats on how often this happens. It talks about this in isolation as a legal oddity to be fixed. And, sure, it may be worthy of fixing.

But in the popular understanding (admittedly, a specialized, weird-threats-in-our-country understanding) this remains a topic that, like many other things, has harsh and extreme or unfair sounding impacts on people but is actually extremely rare. But it grabs headlines among a certain class of internet news readers. You're statistically not going to face this in reality in your lifetime.

Single-photon quantum computers are also coherent at room temperature; though their stability:

What about phononic quantum computing though, are phononic wave functions stable/coherent?
Absolutely

It is really underrated.

Maybe it's the extension issue, maybe it's something else or maybe it's the fact that it was born as an experimental platform more than anything

But it should have been more popular
I didn’t read the paper but did read the article and one of the cool aspects of it was that they did go back in the timeline to find known historical temperature anomalies after calibrating the sponges against a modern period with good temperature measurements, so I would assume so.

I just wonder if this actually does change the “baseline” Earth temperature as the article implies rather than just adds a bit more detail to known historical temperatures.

As far as the temperature variation thing and deniers, I’ve always thought Munroe did an excellent job with the visualization I linked above in showing why the current change is so unprecedented when compared with previous ones.

You really need to tell people that the images are AI-generated. Anyone who remotely cares about history will feel very upset otherwise. Even using real images in the wrong context is a big no-no.

Honestly, for anything non-fiction, I would strongly advise against using fake images.
> But centralisation has a way of creeping in, so I wouldn't be surprised if a platform came about to attract podcast creators with convenient revenue streams, in the same way Substack has for blogs.

Feed burner tried. Spotify tried. I think podcasting is like blogs or email newsletters. There may be value in centralization (dev.to, medium, etc for blogs, MailChimp, substack, etc for newsletters) but there'll always be a space for you to own and run it yourself.

Critically, you can port your subscribers in each of these cases, unlike subscribers to a YouTube channel or a Facebook group. I think thats a correlary of Anil's point. It isn't enough for discovery to be open, you, the creator, need to own the means of distribution.

I read other comments about 'forever redirects' of the RSS feed if you leave a podcast platform and they're a bit worrisome, but I wonder if a year or two of redirect service would be adequate. Probably depends on the growth of your podcast. I think I might have updated a feed URL once or twice in the decade or so I've been a podcast listener. Still safer to set up a reverse proxy under a domain you control.
Getting married is a social construct that absolutely creates no value in the end. Find a partner and do as you will.
Actual reading is super important; the letteredness of people has been in decline for decades, and while it's partially to blame on the shift in entertainment preferences, schools de-emphasising reading and understanding in favor of other skills has been a big factor as well.

Your remark about the suppliers wanting to get the kids "hooked" on their products isn't new btw, this was happening 20+ years ago already with MS Office and co.
Makes me wish there was a service dedicated to providing the information of the people who run these services for free. The more details that can be used by marketing folks to profile and contact them, the better.
> RSS is distribution

It’s not content distribution.

> get RSS feeds direct from the source.

But what is the source? Who is typically hosting these?
Audio is easier to distribute than video, but aren’t most podcasts hosted on a handful of large services?
> TS gets more and more complicated with each release, catering to the power users.

My understanding about the use of advanced/more expressive TR features is that it's OK if you don't use them, and don't bother wasting time for most products. Bot if you are writing a library of framework in TS, go ahead especially since they are meant to improve the experience of consumers.

-fwrapv is an UB mitigation that often just hides bugs and consequently creates more UB down the road, in places where it is less easy to diagnose. For example identifying an integer overflow is quite easy but placing bounds checks on all allocations in an ABI-preserving way is much more difficult.

I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think that idea would work. They're two totally different models (and with different modalities too), so any embeddings you might produce with one model will be nonsensical to another unless translated in some way.

“The new sets are more complex and detailed, but god do I hate the franchised sets. Nothing kills kids creativity more than that.”

I haven’t noticed this with my son, fortunately. What I have noticed is that franchised characters immediately detach from their property when they enter his LEGO world. Lately I think Chewbacca has been dating an elderly woman, and every time Luke Skywalker talks about the rebellion his hair falls off. We have a Porg that runs a food delivery service with a Goomba and Harry Potter. I played in a similar way when I was a kid. I think in many cases the characters can be jumping off points, but a lot of kids take plenty of liberties from there.

I've thought about this boilerplate sentence that almost all the podcasters use, too. But to me it's not a statement on openness but rather a description on how bad the podcast UX still is for the Average Joe.

I mean, advertisers don't need to say "You can visit advertiser.com with whatever browser you use" but they can just say "advertiser.com". They don't need to say "You can visit us at Unnamed Road 23 by whatever means of transportation you use", but they can just say "Unnamed Road 23".

My mom wouldn't know what is a podcast nor could she fathom what is this "wherever" she usually gets them.

I don't think I know what is a podcast, really. Conan has a new podcast that I'd be interested but I noticed that I need a 10$ monthly subscription to get it. I listen to Conan's other podcast on Spotify, so it's not really available on "wherever I get my podcasts". Finnish Public Broadcasting company is so much into podcasts that they call all their radio shows "podcasts". They are not available on any 3rd party podcasting software and their own services do not offer any 3rd party podcasts.

To listen to "my podcasts", I in fact need several applications and some would require a subscription.

Podcast is still, after all these years a bit like multimedia CD was in 1997. You kind of know it's one after starting to use it, but it's mostly impossible to define it in a meaningful way.
Would the issue be resolved by a resiliant way to lock all devices into a particular mode?

i.e. "Word processing only" "specific website(s) only" etc

I'm aware that actually implementing this in a fool-proof way is non-trivial - but would it in theory solve the issue and allow the benefits of tech?

I can't imagine taking notes by hand any more.
"We found a genetic marker for X" is even more fuzzy when talking about something like Schizophrenia or Autism, because the diagnosis itself is very far from a precise label. It's not just about missing environmental contributions or dealing with how complex interactions between different generic markers are, though these are also issues. We're averaging over probably dozens of different issues in the vast majority of studies, and that extends to other subfields of biological psychiatry too.
Complexity is not useful because it can't be used to fix things
I worked on a project (15+ years ago) that used Jython to put a web front end on GDS systems (airline reservation mainframes). It was in production and being used in some of the largest travel call centers at the time. The whole thing was built in Jython.
"Buying crypto" is not a step in literally destroying money because the dollars used to buy crypto don't vanish, you just give them to the person selling you the crypto.

You would need to withdraw the dollars as cash and then set fire to the bills. That would destroy them by taking them out of circulation. If you exchange them for literally anything else you want to destroy, you're just changing ownerhsip of the money, not destroying it.

You are not representative.

The vast majority of podcast listeners subscribe a channel on YouTube, Spotify or Apple.

The vast majority of podcasts are served from similar centralized media companies.

Which is why "JRE is moving from YouTube to Spotify for $200 mil" is a thing. If podcasts were decentralized you wouldn't "move" from one content company to another.
Punitive fines are fine, but they need to be scaled by income and wealth (to discourage picking only on the weak), and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" needs to apply.

My understanding of the US problem with civil asset forfeiture is that money can be guilty until proven innocent there (and by its nature it's obviously not a fine).
They don't have to justify themselves too.
You are right, though there probably exists an even worse way: the same layoffs, but it happens while you are on paid leave, so you don't get the memo, but the announcement, meeting and effect occur in 2-3 days and you find out the day after that:

- there are layoffs

- you are to be impacted

- you are no longer part of the company

- you don't have access to your work email address and work site

Hence my point about circuit bending. We're at the stage equivalent to that alien a) being able to electroshock the driver, and b) observe them getting out of car and functioning independently, therefore c) conclude that the driver is the thing controlling the car.
Why do you think the author of this is unaware of the performance cost?
That’s a straw man. Nobody said that there were no distractions in classrooms before laptops, just that they made it orders of magnitude worse. Which they did.
Making these connections is likely part of the value someone somewhere in this ecosystem provides. I doubt they do it for free or accept just anyone.
"But she needs it for work"

I don't think so. I highly doubt all her crew, backup dancers and singers all fly private jet. They either all together charter a larger plane or fly on regular airlines like the rest of us.

Fly first class, take a bus or stay home. Only because the schedule isn't as flexible as you like doesn't mean you can go destroy the planet more than the rest of us because it's convenient for you.
I think they're a problem in universities too. I'm sure I've seen research that suggests students in lectures who take notes on paper get better grades that students who use laptops in lectures.

Relying on the compiler to compensate for an unwieldy instruction set architecture is something that was tried explicitly with the Intel Itanium and failed hard.

\rant
I feel that generally people often have a notion of the "compiler is unbeatable at optimizing", which is completely false: You can always start from compiler output when optimizing and you often have easy options that are inaccessible for the compiler because of language semantics/calling conventions etc. (=> but hand optimizing at instruction level is time consuming, time is expensive, and what the compiler does is basically free ;).

From a quick look online: federal CAF has gone from ~$100m/year in the 1980s to ~$4B/year by the mid-2010s. It’s hard to find more recent numbers that don’t combine federal and state forfeiture, but the general trendline is positive. That alone makes it a reasonable target of public interest, especially against the backdrop of larger civil liberty changes in the US.

(Besides, “it won’t happen to you” is not a good argument. It’s very unlikely that a cop is going to shoot me for looking suspicious, but I have a civic interest in other people not being victimized.)

I just implemented versioning in a CMS and I read about every article about it I could find. My conclusion is that while all articles had their point and strengths, what a version is can vary widely between applications.

For example, is my app, we decided that versions would represent "committed" modifications, for example you can modify a chapter title 60 times and then publish and get only one version. For "undo" we use browser storage. We came to this solution because it is a shared collaborative editor. In the end it is very git inspired.

The other big "problem" is structure. There are things that should and should not be versionned.

My point is that a usefull version system is very tightly coupled with the business logic, and it is not just snapshot.

The vagueness is not intentional, it's vague only because at the time it was written we hadn't decided on a particular source. For Rocky Linux, RHEL cloud instances are currently the primary source.

Not every RHEL binary is GPL licensed, but all the packages we distribute have an open source license permitting such redistribution. There are a few left out, for example some Red Hat proprietary artwork, tools, etc.
