Procreation is a lower dopamine hit than career growth, travel, dating, hobbies, Instagram, flexibility, mobility.

We're always on our phones and the internet. There's no space left for even entertaining the idea of kids. Cellphones took their place. And capitalism filled the gaps to occupy us with entertainment for any spare moment. (Who knew we needed "escape rooms"?)

Kids were perfect for the farm and nomadic societies. They were essentially free labor to help around the house. They don't fit very well into today's society, where you might just go on a random trip, go partying late at night, or spend your income on your hobby / pet project.

I'm saying all of this both tongue-in-cheek (kids are the future and we need them), but also in earnest. I truly think this is a big driver or component of why people aren't having kids.

I think this, more than cost burden, is the reason. We're too into our own thing to let a young infant have space.
Unfortunately, today's version of that is "Web & App Activity", sent to Google servers with the Terms of Service allowing it to be used for ad targeting and what not.

(And I think the real innovation would be showing the branching, not mangling everything into a linear history. But it's harder to show and use well, so it doesn't happen. Very much the same story as editor undo/redo.)

Very cool. I've got all the /now pages from https://nownownow.com/ in my PostgreSQL database (I'm the creator/admin of it) so feel free to contact me if you'd like a more direct data connection. https://sive.rs/contact

I'm currently going through every site on nownownow.com by hand, removing the dead and spam ones, since after years of automated scripts it deserved a personal visit to verify. While doing that, I'm updating things like when each site was last-updated and last-visited.

Anyone reading this, if you've got a /now page on your site, please email me so I can add you to nownownow.com
I'm pretty sure they can't. What it's not, though, is running all the programs at the same time.
Eh, I’d always know who I am as a person… and who I was holds little value, frankly, because the past is the past. And it’s not like I’ve ever had a ton of control over my personality. I didn’t decide to be a pedantic nerd. I didn’t decide to have ADHD. I didn’t decide much about myself at all, really. I’ve simply gone along and gotten along. Also, “We’ve always done it this way” isn’t always useful.

It honestly sounds like a great recipe to being even more open-minded, avoiding zealotry and overly-conservative stick-in-the-mud-ness. What’s not to love?
I feel that a pricing product should have more transparent pricing. All the more amusing given that you host a Stripe fee calculator.

Guerrilla marketing for Constellation on Apple+?
It's interesting that the airlines are fighting back against the intrusive searches that the TSA does. I always assumed the TSA was the revenue protection branch of the major air carriers. That's why they need to match the name on your boarding pass to your government ID; a secondary market for airline tickets would cost the airlines revenue. (Imagine that instead of "no cancellations" you could just give the ticket you no longer want to a friend. That's basically the same thing as stealing the CEO's yacht!) The security function of the TSA is just to provide the illusion that they do something. In the 2000s when the TSA was introduced, people were scared that they were going to be the next building demolition squad every time they got on a flight. Some fancy looking machines and long lines make it feel like someone's doing something. But it's all a disguise for their actual function; revenue protection.

So now an airline comes along and says "yeah that's all security theater, we do a background check, pay our own guy to check your ID, and just have you walk through a metal detector", and they're mad about it? It was their idea in the first place! Be careful about voting for the "leopards eating people's faces" party... they might eat your face too.
I think the pre 9/11 safety protocols, with the sole addition of the new locking cockpit doors, is plenty safe.
I can't see it on /writing at all, but Feedbro does pick it up.

Putting it in each article would save a little hunting
The lead APU of each generation usually wouldn't get meaningfully faster if you just spent more silicon on the GPU instead of the CPU.

The fundamental problem here is that GPUs require more memory bandwidth than CPUs, the platforms are created for CPUs, resulting in a pretty hard cap on APU GPU performance using the same platform. Generational GPU performance gains on APUs happen when the platforms update to faster memory.

The big break in this will be Strix Halo, coming from AMD either next year or late this year, as it will support 256-bit LPDDR5. Even using the fastest LPDDR5 available on the market, this will still just barely match the memory performance of Radeon 7600, the weakest current-gen discrete GPU AMD has on the market.
> - the big one around San Francisco

A massive earthquake around San Francisco is unlikely to happen. The lower-magnitude earthquakes that area experiences release crust stress and prevent it from building up to the levels necessary to create a Magnitude 9+ earthquake.

The big one will be further north, leveling Seattle and Portland.

Treating one race differently from others is being racist. This whole thing blew up because people were offended by Google's racism.
Overcooking will increase the bitterness, the preparation makes a ton of difference.

I don't really recall how my mom might have cooked broccoli and such, but I certainly identified things she did cooking that were not ideal as far as outcomes (and I would say she was a reasonably good cook).
This is interesting to see how mathematician. Does this mean you store all unfinished works on shelf and keep forward every time?
Most PCs already are. Intel CPUs already include a chip for offloading minor "AI" tasks like noise cancellation, and Ryzen AI is already here, as well.

AI doesn't necessarily mean generative, but there are tons of places that a little specialized accelerated chipset would have been used in decades past that maybe now we can abstract to a little GAN+ chip that might be costlier on other hardware.

Think more "assistive technologies to help stabilize mice or correct typing in people with motor function disabilities" than "the spyware that copied me". ...Hopefully.

isn’t the manager supposed to have some awareness of this, and be able to… help?

it is easier to care correctly when one stops caring quite so strongly. not always easy, typically feelings of not being heard, combined with perception of a problem, leads to higher anxiety.

not an issue with the link - rather it shouldn’t be necessary for an employee to need to stumble upon, or, worse, search for, some clue as to how to deal with poor management.

the problem is in fact the management, and the impact is poor communication, increased risk, decreased productivity, etc. good luck with that meeting.
I built a modern Dreamcast [video]
My understanding is that Ada was mostly a DoD phenomenon. In my experience in the civilian side you’re going to find lots of things which are already memory-safe (Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, etc.) so while I’d like to see strong support for it there I’d also look for other measures like ease of patching, good use of modern isolation primitives, etc.
Wow, had no idea. Thanks for sharing!
There are rarely simple answers to complex issues. If your question was instead, "Are there more cost efficient mechanisms to reach the same outcome?" the answer is unequivocally yes. How many aircraft fall out of the sky from attacks in every other country in the world? They achieve the same outcome without the TSA. It is plain as day we are lighting enormous amounts of human and fiat capital on fire for something that is simply ineffective for its cost.

Start at the desired outcome and work backwards.

That is _exactly_ why people still search reddit.

This is a classic example: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=font+review+websites+r...

Sometimes you're leaving reddit as quickly as you visited, knowing you found the sorta thread you want, and ctrl-f'ing all of the https:// to dig further.

But maybe more often I'm just going to https://hn.algolia.com/ which almost always to take me somewhere else, less so to read a buncha chatter
I think your question is going to have a different answer for everyone, but for me:

A) The average human fears and understands death even at several removes, and in particular would understand they were being raised for slaughter. I don't believe this to be the case for most farm animals. I don't believe chickens suffer from expectation in the same way humans would, and I wouldn't eat e.g. great apes because of the possibility that they might.

B) It is unacceptable to allow the killing of humans and the desecration and consumption of human remains except in some extreme cases, because doing so would harm our social fabric and make still-living humans feel awful. This protects even humans who wouldn't be able to understand abstract future harms.

C) Also, it feels wrong, and killing a chicken doesn't. I know this answer is likely dissatisfying to you because you feel that killing a chicken is also wrong, but we're all making choices by gut feeling to some extent.
I figured most of the big banks still use AS400s. Have they finally shed those?

Well, yeah.

Picking locks requires a skill that has some level of risk to use and develop. Pressing a button on a Flipper Zero to relay a signal from a key fob in a house requires no skill. The Total Addressable Market of car thieves is now much larger with less skills. Of course it's going to result in more cars being stolen.

My 2003 Alero has an anti-theft system built in to detect when the car was being hot-wired. It sensed electrical noise on the ignition. I know this as it started to malfunction in its old age and would lock me out from starting for 10 minutes as the ignition switch degraded over time. There are plenty of features like that which auto manufacturers clearly need to implement to make theft more difficult.
Fast food prices have already gotten exhorbitent and they think people would be willing to pay more? McDonald’s just released a statement that they’ve pushed prices up too far and as a result are seeing declining revenues. And another wild card…as more people start using Ozempic, fewer people will eat these health destructive meals.
Wire bonding: What is it and how does it work
As always with western countries the political class will simply fill the void with more and more immigrants rather than fixing the core issues like living costs or crime.

The people are there to serve the economy. Immigrants are treated better than the natives. Houses are casinos rather than homes. The old are more important than young. Sameness is valued over variety.

Those questioning it are labeled 'far' or 'extreme' by the same media whom just happen to benefit from the economic growth created by the status quo.
Get back in your Overton box. Jeffery needs a new rocket and there is a new dance meme on TikTok.
There's nothing disturbing about not being interested in the latest ultra-violent and ultra-realistic FPS. Similarly, there's nothing disturbing about not being interested in the latest Hollywood movies, which are all Marvel comic-book movies and uninspired Star Wars franchise installments.

Personally, I love playing some classic video games, such as through MAME, once in a while, but new games are nothing like this.

Every other country has airport security of some sort (at least the several dozen I've been to). Is it the case that you aren't against airport security, except when it is specifically named "TSA"?
It would be less aggravating to consumers if they framed it as off-peak discounts, rather than letting it be compared to surge pricing. Eg, they'd have a list price as their max price, and they could vary the discount throughout the day..
I don't think the term "HSM" really carries much meaning, and if you're familiar with the space, you probably won't find it too shocking to hear someone claim that Amazon has put more cryptographic expertise to bear on KMS than has been embedded in any of the well-known rackmount HSMs.

This doesn’t make any sense. If nobody thought the things were possible then why did they bother trying to do them?

And even spend as much time and resources as they did trying to do them?
European airlines hire pilots with even fewer hours, but have similar accident rates.

There is still significant oversight for anyone operating aircraft commercially, and it doesn't seem like this poses a significant risk from that perspective.
Good points, but pedantically we can measure such times using a mirror and the round trip of a laser pulse.

This has been done with the moon.

Why do we need to maintain the population? The UK is quite crowded already.

It seems to me the environment would be much better-off with fewer people. And also people would be better off with fewer people, with more resources to invest in each life.

It seems like maintaining financial growth is the real concern behind this 'news'.

Did Mr Altman happen to elaborate on what time zone he had in mind? ;)
They were cheap off cuts because almost no one wanted them. Oxtails got popularized by celebrity chefs so theres a lot more demand than the supply can handle now.

Here in SoCal there’s such a large population of immigrants that use neck bones and chicken feet for stock that even those cuts have risen in price relative to the rest of the country. It’s gotten to the point where rib eye roasts and new york steaks are only a dollar or two a pound more expensive than meat for stock at my local halal market.
While they raise god points, the data itself is probably less accurate than the dataset owned by Ookla/speedtest.

The addresses and map really are pretty irrelevant. You can get all that data from open street maps. The real nice to have is service location and speed, which can be retrieved from Ookla and probably google or the data brokers.

Some data providers can map IPs down to addresses, and they probably have a good idea of how fast the actual connection is as well.

Why are we paying some lame company too much money to do this? That's really the question that should be asked.
Isopropyl alcohol is a really bad idea for food. I'd suggest a drinkable alcohol instead, like a vodka or something.
>Roman citizenship was considerably more flexible than other ancient empires, including people of many ethnicities, and was eventually extended to every free inhabitant in the empire. They didn’t just call themselves Roman, they legally were citizens.

Rather important example: Paul of Tarsus.
This is a great and generous initiative. But there is a potential downside. People, being human, tend to not value what they get for free.

Just some examples I see:

1. people don't turn off the lights when they leave a hotel room. I ask why, they say "who cares".

2. people abuse rental cars, because "it's just a rental".

3. students abuse free textbooks.

4. heck, the whole free public school system.

5. nobody values a "participation" award.

And so it goes. Students should have some sweat equity in their education.
> This is pretty much the backlash everyone said Google would be getting if their model isn't literally perfect on release, no?

No. All of the biases are deliberate and one sided. It's not them not being "literally perfect", they are intentionally bad. It's like the Kung Pow! joke: "I must apologize for Wimp Lo... he is an idiot. We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.".
I've currently reading Warren Buffett's biography, The Snowball by Alice Shroeder and "Sandy" Gottesman frequently appears. When I saw 2, I thought that sounds awfully like someone I read about in Buffett's Graham group. After 3, it was definitely someone in the Graham group I've read about.

The Graham gatherings that included Buffett and Gottesman had fine gentlemen, at least one of which has championed a similar cause in the past, whether that was Gottesman or another one of his peers, my memory fails me. While it's sad to see someone I am still reading about pass away, it's heartening to know that he ended on a high note and that he continues to leave a positive impact from beyond the grave.
the threat isn’t so much “more” as “mystery.” you can plan for four fries instead of five if the cost goes from a buck to a buck and a quarter. but what if you don’t know how much it will cost?

it doesn’t matter if you can afford a baconator right now. it matters if you can afford it in line, and you may not know until you get there.

as if that’s not enough manipulation, maybe you can get a deal if you change your schedule for the local franchise.

in fact, you better plug in for those ticker updates on side prices.

this is where the owl bites the tootsie roll pop. there are so many more layers, but time is up.
In my opinion, habaneros have the best flavor out of any chili. Once you get hotter than that, they don't really get more flavorful. I've tasted Carolina Reapers a few times, and they just had this grassy vibe that wasn't very appealing. The very hot ones don't seem bred for flavor, just record-breaking heat.
There's no universe where I go to a restaurant pulling something like this. That said, the employees at the Wendy's near me seem to have been pretending the place was closed the last couple times I've tried to go, so maybe it will sort itself out. I'm not exactly planning on wasting time going back regardless.
> wealthy landholders vote in people who set policy to prevent construction

This is a problem specific to a type of federalism where wealthy people have more political power than regular people. If each renter had equal political power to each landholder, the landholders would be a political minority and would not be able to influence policy in this way.

When we talk about theoretical improvements to our political systems, it is often useful and I think usually necessary to consider that more than one change would occur at once. If people like where these changes would get us, we can then bring them in to one policy platform and advocate for the change needed to achieve those goals.
Spoiler: Anyone who touches the patient, anyone who has a conversation with the patient, anyone who measures stuff of the patient, doctors consulted by doctors also get to charge.

So that's why suddenly every nurse wants to talk to you, check your blood pressure, and a different nurse wants your blood oxygenation… and that guy that walked by who greeted the doctor seeing you, and talked about how much the 49ers sucked last weekend, and flirted with the nurse? Bill's in the mail.
love superset, but one thing that I would love to see is to make it easier for dashboards/charts to use a dynamic table that the user can select.

we have multiple tenants + developer instances of our warehouse. to reuse the same dashboard in this setup we need to create at least 3 virtual datasets, plus wrangle a bunch of boiler plate jinja.
Very cool - Can you drive it from a PC?

The basic contract of fast food has already been broken, before whatever price hike this turns out to be. You're getting bottom tier food but no longer the discount that makes it a defensible tradeoff.

I mean the only negative news I hear about planes is Boeing’s QA issues. When was the last terror attack on a plane?

Is it possible the metal detectors are actually working and not just security theater?

Or are other changes like a locked cockpit door the real reason consumer confidence in flying is high (only brought down by Boeing engineering issues)?
Accelerating Apache Spark 3: GPUs to Power the Next Era of Analytics and AI
I largely agree but would note that one thing which killed a lot of outsourcing projects were timeline and language barriers. If you’re in, say, Pacific time there’s still a lot of room to go down from Bay Area salaries while avoiding both of those problems. I think we’re about to see the largest experiment yet of how well people can really run remote development projects.
> …homeserver market, it's getting larger and larger.

Is that true? How are you measuring it?
I don't know whether this the reason, but the project is 1) written in C# and 2) cactuses have an enduring spirit.

For a project that aims to make all version of D2 available (and a lot more), it seems to fit.
Competing on the offering is hard (REALLY hard when it comes to airlines). Lobbying the gov't is pretty easy, all things considered.
I don't think they have watched enough episodes of Battlebots to learn that lesson as of yet.
That's a complicated one, it's still the electronics but they need a particular circuit that can stop short rise time transients. Also, any larger devices probably want to have shielding and ethernet devices will need some extra hardening, we're talking 25+kv/m events here so unless your computer can handle the monitor being at a 25kv differential from the tower you're gonna have a bad time.
Many of the people in this threat at quoting their younger years. i didnt hear anyone quote,

> Taste Bud Density: Children have more taste buds than adults, and these are more sensitive. This heightened sensitivity can make certain flavors, especially bitter ones, more intense for children. The number of taste buds decreases as people age, which can lead to changes in taste sensitivity and preferences.
There is already child benefits. Most of the natives you speak of are just lazy because they live in a low pressure environment.
This argument has never held water. Population will keep increasing, the economy can't afford anything else.
