It seems to me that the author is observing that in the past you would have sub-cultures based on lived experiences (preppy…New England prep school, goth…alienated teenagers, etc) that would develop an aesthetic, whereas today the aesthetic exists without any underlying sub culture.

The author is using this observation as a jumping off point to notice that as far as they can tell there just aren’t any lives sub cultures anymore.

It’s the lack of these sub cultures that kids can participate in that the author is bemoaning.
The brain does adapt to adhd meds and there are studies showing this.

The thing I don’t like about adhd is that the premise is the brain doesn’t produce enough dopamine so we return it to normal levels…but the brain always seeks homeostasis so it will adapt by producing more dopamine reuptake cells. There are no conclusive imaging studies or genetic markers for it.

The meds certainly do work but if you ask someone to explain their condition to you they have all have the same simplified and erroneous explanation as to why they can handle addictive meds and the general population cannot.

I think it’s pretty much a general smart drug but with high risk of addiction.

The high cost of promoting homeownership
This is a very interesting point, but it is genuinely easier to simply ban flipper zeros, or insecure vehicles, then to try to change the Judiciary and prosecution system wholesale.

It might very well take longer than the remaining lifespan of most folks reading this, so it's a moot point for anyone that wants to not have their car stolen.
Today we are thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking release to PH and your support is very important!

We are creating one of the most flexible no-code web app builders on the market today. In this release, we were the first among similar solutions to add our pixel perfect editor that is as close as possible in functionality to Figma/Sketch, while still allowing for easy and quick app creation when pixel perfect is not required. And using import, you can turn your component designs from Figma/Sketch into a real interactive component with Conditionals+Events+States in just a few minutes and use it in a full-fledged no-code app.

I would be extremely grateful if you could evaluate the product at the link or leave a comment on ProductHunt
Exactly this. In addition, I've found that in almost all Lisps, macros are a niche feature that are not needed to solve many problems; however, because the actual invocation of macros and normal functions is the same S-expression form, almost all Lisp programs end up as some sort of DSL. Especially when you have arbitrary heterogeneous data structures like Clojure.

Instead of dealing with chains of single assignments as in older C-like languages, you've got a bunch of compact calls fully in-context.
For those confused about the vocabulary:

I agree that Flipper shouldn't be banned in Canada, but I think the headline won't help them make their case. For many reasons, it's easier for people to support banning a device they don't personally care about than it is to call for millions of cars on the road to be made illegal, or for instituting new regulations on an industry with entrenched lobbyists. If the option you are presenting is to ban the Flipper (easy, painless) or turn the auto industry on its head (hard, painful) guess what they're going to do? The option you want to present is between going through a lot of work to ban a device that is ultimately harmless, and not doing any extra work and letting it go.

They aren't. If I write code with a SQL injection in it, it's bad code even if no one winds up attacking it.
Quite an ambitious offering by the author. Kudos to him/her.

I have my own little (overly) ambitious language effort in a different direction and tend to beat myself up a bit since I feel like I should have more to show after almost 4 years.

Then I noticed in the author’s history section towards the end that they’d been working on this sine the early 90’s and felt better about that.
And Canada already did this with immobilizes. We also used to do bait cars.

Both these things helped a ton, until the new wave of weak car security

Iirc the Kai stealing spree didn’t hit Canada as hard because of said immobilizer law too
Perhaps the OBD port should only work when the car is validly unlocked and the engine immobilizer accepts a key? Maybe it could stay unlocked thereafter while a device is connected?

> Due in large part to C3's positive influence, Germany is at the forefront of privacy issues and legislation

That's the entirely wrong cause and effect.

The obvious root cause are a world war and the DDR.
Not really, no; ordering of patches is not something you as a developer should care about. It’s behind the scenes. No force pushes necessary.
I would argue that if we deem killing people to be a necessity, it might be more prudent to start with the warlords hoarding the food.

I can't morally justify using overwhelming force against pirates who genuinely may not have any other way to feed their families.

To me, a prerequisite of that kind of force is offering another viable way to get food. We have to give them some kind of plan B before launching Operation Scorched Earth.

I have no idea if it's politically viable to kill the warlords, but that would be my plan A. Kill the warlords so humanitarian aid can reach the people, stabilize the humanitarian crisis, and then we start cracking down on the pirates.

The cynic in me says killing the warlords won't help, though. It'll just be a new set of warlords. At the very least, we can send a strong "don't interfere with humanitarian aid" message.

Someone knowledgeable might know: is this just incremental view updates? To what extent is the cache intelligent if parameters, where clauses, or aggregates change?

I really love this space and have been impressed with Materialize, but even if you can make some intermediate state incremental, if your workload is largely dynamic you end up needing to jump the whole way to OLAP platforms. I’m hopeful that we’re closer and closer to having our cake and eating it here, and that the operational data warehouse is only round the corner.
Biden administration cancels student loans of more than 150k borrowers
I definitely can appreciate this sentiment, but I will also add that for me Remix feels like a simplification more than something that's added complexity. It also leans heavily into the Web APIs so you get a lot of non-framework knowledge when you use it.

Personally, I haven't experienced that kind of "this is simpler" feeling since jQuery.
If you’re suggesting there’s some sort of data- or usage- mining of Spotify’s app and/or app integrations with the OS going on, you’re going to have to provide much more evidence than just the allegation of “Apple can see Spotify’s data”.

The device might be able to see “Spotify’s data”, but the closest thing Apple-the-company has to “Spotify’s data [on iOS/macOS]” is likely to be device/customer profiles on who downloads the app from the App Store.

And I’m sure the amount of data that Apple has on Spotify and their business and marketing strategies from non-device sources is both vastly superior and vastly more than what they would get from device-based information.
Yeah, but their platform is basically a janky PDF parser which is why I don't understand what the hype is about.

It's easy to cherry pick a PDF for marketing purposes and claim you're better. I didn't miss it, I just don't believe marketing announcements at face value. I tried their parser on a PDF with a bit of complex formatting like multiple columns, tables and a couple images and it choked, spitting out one big markdown header with jumbled text. Not impressed.
Unless the GPT would be responsible for setting up the incentive structures, you’d end up with the same monotonous clickbait. The problem are people who give bad (science) reporting their attention and therefore money. PopSci journals are just answering the demand.
The TSA locks have widely circulated master keys because that's a basic requirement of the system–every airport has to have some to be able to open bags. I don't know anything about these OBD port locks, but I don't see any reason they'd have a master key, other than laziness on the part of the manufacturer.

Additionally, I'd imagine that such a tiny fraction of a percentage of cars have these kinds of locks that it'd barely be worth it for thieves to figure out how to bypass them, at least until there's more widespread adoption.
> We require cars to have seatbelts

Seatbelts are not adversarial. A better seatbelt does not encourage other drivers to crash their cars into you even harder or anything like that, it's people versus nature.

Security systems are in a permanent arms race, people versus people. You could have a more expensive lock that requires a more expensive device to defeat, but this makes your car more expensive to make, so it has a higher price, so it becomes a more valuable target, and so on.
A tow truck costs more than a tablet. The guys and the tablets performing the theft are disposable, tow truck is not.

This is pretty fascinating. For easier reading, the Signal blog post [0] they link to is great.

Both Signal and Apple went with CRYSTALS-Kyber [1] as their post-quantum algorithm. If you're interested in the math, and maybe learned at some point about how classic public key cryptography is built on the idea that it's easy to multiply two primes, but hard to factor them, and how this (or other math problems) can be used as a one-way function to make encryption hard to break, the hard math problem that backs Kyber is the "learning-with-errors" [2] problem.

There is a big difference in putting together deadly artifacts and electronic devices you can fabricate using off-the-shelf chips and open protocols. Not saying you can't discuss regulating them, but to me they are in a different set of categories. Weapons are by default dangerous, their sole purpose being to cause physical harm, while a flipper zero can be used for instructional purposes and research.

As much as I hate the concept, it would be ridiculous for me to propose regulating Alexa because a kid can cause financial harm to the parents using it, but a weapon can't be in any imaginable circumstance reachable by anyone untrained.

> No level of technology will stop this.

Except for you know, the technology of a physical car keys and an immobilizer. There's a reason it's the keyless entry start/stop button cars that are being targeted by thieves, it's simply so much easier.

The frustrating thing is that new cars are being produced that _only_ offer keyless entry, and so eventually the choice is taken away or you have to drive a very old car.

SEO pages pushing some product are SEO pages pushing some product. You should ignore them no matter what the source is, so what does it matter if they're LLM generated or hand written?

The problem is that people keep consuming the samey low quality content instead of skipping it (think superhero movies and Netflix series that are all indistinguishable from each other). As long as they're satisfied with that, they'll fall for fake product reviews too.
They were carefully constructed by the adults around you, only not by your parents.
Or maybe we don’t ban anything?
correct, someone says something right for once. also vehicle theft will happen no matter what since they have physical access to your vehicle. scammy, scummy, corporate pitches like "you just press this button and it opens for you" with zero research on how to implement that securely (even thought it was known in the 70s), which just make the hacker be able to press a button and open it, are not anyone's problem aside from the clout chasing consumer "who doesn't have time" to research any "sophisticated tech" he buys, and the corporation. consumers should know by now that "smart tech" = a teenager can hack it.
> I wonder why the caching layer can't just pass any query it is unable to process on to the underlying database?

A caching layer can do that, and I'd be surprised if serious ones don't. It might not be perfect when moving between DB versions though: the new version might perhaps introduce syntax that is mistaken for something else which the layer _thinks_ it understands. While this can be tested for to a large extent by the devs having access to alph/beta/rc versions, but I can still see things slipping through and you are relying on people keeping their versions of the caching layer as up-to-date as everything else which is not a given.

I'm struggling to connect how the banning of security tools would be a violation of the (US) second amendment.

A violation of the first, fourth, and ninth? I can see that. A propensity to violate the fifth? I can see that. But I can't see a strong connection to the second.

Slight tangent, but this reminds me of discussions I've seen in the Postgres email servers about native support for real-time materialized views. Does anyone know if we can expect to see something like this in a future version of Postgres?

Heh, you'd probably be surprised, there's some really cool cutting edge stuff being done in those data centers but a lot of what is done is just plan old standard server management without much in the way of tricks. Its just someone else does it instead of you and the billing department is counting milliseconds.
But it is junior in all the fields, so to me it’s pretty useful. I’m not even junior in most stuff.

Following the orders of their powerful master against you does not require agency at all.

LLMs are very transparent, what makes them safe, but other forms of AI are already being used to capture the public's mind.
In Richard Feynman's book, "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!" he tells the story of his exploits in safe cracking. And the eventual "solution" that the bosses come up with... not to make their safes safer, but to ban Feynman.
Just fed it into codellama (which I happened to be already running within ollama) and got this output:

> The answer to this riddle is that both cars will win the race, as they have both driven a total distance of 100 miles. Car A has driven at a speed of 10mph for the entire race, while Car B has driven at a speed of 5mph and has a headstart of 50 miles. However, since the two cars have started from the same point and are traveling in the same direction, they will arrive at the finish line together.
So he's going against SCOTUS?

The argument could also be resolved by just getting the latency numbers for both cases and compare them, on bare metal it shouldn't be more than a few hundred nanoseconds.
I haven't tried Remix, but the sentiments in the comments makes me feel it's another framework that sounds like it's sick of the current complexity around stuff like SvelteKit and Next, but that's exactly how I felt when Svelte came out 3-4 years back, so what's to stop this from going down the exact same route where "just one more feature" snowballs into something unrecognizable?

I maybe don't understand the parallels being drawn at the moment, so this view is subject to change when I dig in a little deeper.
It’s not a disorder if it’s not sufficiently disruptive :-) There are no absolutes in psychology.

Well, there went my self-improvement plan.

Afraid to read it based on nightshift work as a youth.
I disagree. I think that 6 months or more of 5/9 symptoms of inattentiveness or 5/9 symptoms of hyperactivity, persistently, does not represent most of the world. (And excluding: "The symptoms are not solely a manifestation of oppositional behavior, defiance, hostility, or failure to understand tasks or instructions." 6/9 symptoms are required to diagnose children) [0]

Indeed, surveys show that it's probably under 10% [1]. Mind you, these are surveys of symptoms, not surveys of diagnoses.

I've been waiting for this for so long
Something of note though is that things are shot for the aspect ratio they're shooting for. I'm guessing The Shield was intentionally shot with both Widescreen and 4:3 in mind if that happened, because it's pretty common to look through your viewfinder as a cinematographer, see that there's a boom in the shot, but it's outside of the matte and proceed with filming.

If we were to trust AI to do this, we'd need to build models specifically for this, with a way to give context to the rest of the set for the scene in question. From a technical perspective, I find the concept interesting, but from a practical sense, the amount of energy and time required to do this is almost a non-starter, and in doing this, we'd be going beyond the director's intent for the work at hand, which makes a transformative interpretation a degree or two removed from the intent of the director and production team.

> Rather than expecting a human being to behave in certain ways intrinsically (i.e., normative ethics) we tend to assume they will behave in the worst way possible, and then pass laws to supposedly prevent that behavior from manifesting.

I would disagree and have the inverse position.

If you look at the laws regarding removing Supreme Court Justices, senators and other representatives trading, removing misbehaving countries from the EU and Nato, etc. I would say that overall they are mostly optimistic in the sense that they aren't prepared for such worst case scenarios.
I'm very pleased this UX includes "can edit any previous conversation turn" functionality, making conversations a tree rather than a list.

Have you done the research and found a statistically significant impossibility for any manager to feel empathy?

You can have an opinion that yes, but it's not an established fact. It seems to me a cynical view of the world.
Doubtful, at the end of the day the models are just like any other API. No reason not to signup for all the big players (GCP/Azure/AWS) and have access to the various models. Should have no weight as to where you should build out your infra.
