That article talks about midlife, but loneliness starts well before people reach their 40s and 50s and is only getting worse. Per this HN post from last month, teenagers today hang out in person 50% less than teenagers from 20 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39378259

I live and work in the Bay Area and have experienced this myself despite having worked at large tech companies, where in theory it should be easy to meet folks. Recently, instead of just reflecting on my situation, have started validating some potential ideas that could help tackle loneliness. If anyone is open to sharing how you've either overcome loneliness, or struggled to (like me), please hit me up. Email in profile.

I think it is rare, but isn't impossible. I remember in the 2000's watching someone do a demo of Java/JVM beating the pants off a C++ application. If I remember correctly, it was something about how the JIT was doing an optimization that you would have had to write assembly in order to optimize it to the same level.
All of that definitely exists in America but I don’t agree that it’s that widespread or even a majority. Especially amongst average people in the Midwest, South, Texas, etc. What you’re talking about is more of a coastal urban cultural phenomenon, whereas the loneliness epidemic seems to be widespread.
Well with these changes before the first version I would not consider openbao a fork of vault. More like a different product.
Yeah some of these proposed changes are nice. But they shouldn’t be done in the first release if you wanted to take over vault customers.
I will probably never migrate to openbao.

Especially if raft is the only storage option.

And don’t get me wrong you can do that stuff. You do the work, so you guys can do whatever you like.
When they assert theorems like "classical TMs can simulate quantum TMs" they mean the simulation is gapless. Otherwise they use the term approximation.
https://notbyai.fyi/ don't know if that's the one you meant
If I recall correctly, a not-insignificant issue is (was?) that the ESP is based on the relatively obscure Xtensa microarchitecture - which is poorly supported (if at all) by the regular open-source toolchain. This means you have to use forks provided by Espressif, rather than just using the standard ones provided by your OS.

It's still open-source so a lot better than having to use a proprietary compiler or IDE, but it's a lot more involved than just your regular bundle of C libraries you can use with your normal tooling.
No, there aren't and can't be.

It's easy to see with a little bit of reasoning.

Proven implies near 100% effectiveness in maximizing whatever features whoever means by "the best career".

And people are far too complex and unpredictible creatures to bottle them up into any predefined models.

You may find a "methology" that would fit you better and it can feel and look to you like "proven". But this makes the whole question realative to your personal preferences.
Lately all I think about from day to day, as we're inundated with AI advancements that seem to be more rapid and impressive by the month, is that a) we simply have to acknowledge that this is the time to move away from a "winner takes all" economy, and b) that now more than ever, we are insanely far from agreeing upon anything (and getting further away on a daily basis), letalone something like point (a) which requires a complete societal reorganisation, that it's hard not to feel extremely pessimistic.
Respectfully, I think these opinions are unprincipled and uninformed; but you certainly entitled to them.

The problem is that, as incident commander, I don’t know the difference between “I’m not saying anything because I’m stuck” and “I’m not saying anything because it’s going to take me five minutes.”

The correct rule of thumb is to always over communicate, regardless of your role. If you’re troubleshooting, tell the incident commander that you’re doing X and it’ll take around 10 minutes before you see results. Then you’ve set expectations.

I believe the "right" way to do it is to have every repo only able to talk to another repo's code via versioned APIs. So e.g. a client repo can ship an update that will talk to some service repo's code at either version N or N+1, the server repo can later on leisurely ship its update that actually makes version N+1 available (and has to support however many prior versions by policy). Or vice-versa, the server side can have N and N+1 already in service while the clients roll out their updates. You have to do something like this anyway if you have a mobile app.

Of course it has consequences and makes some things harder, you really have to go in on API-first even for things like UI widgets if different ones live in different repos, but it at least alleviates the common problem of trying to get multiple repo commits merged at the same time and have everything keep agreeing. I still prefer the monorepo approach.
Anything that acts like a circuit is at risk
That's one hell of a coincidence if it just "happens" to write syntactically correct code that does what the user asked, for example.
The article presents that you might not recover without doing energetic things. But yeah, you've got to be careful ... and judgement and risk taking can be negatively affected, so you've got to be more careful than usual. Activities will be more risky than usual, but doing nothing isn't good either.
Fun fact, there were four reactors at Chernobyl. Only one - Unit 4 - was destroyed in the flagship incident. The other three were retrofitted after the incident and continued to produce power (relatively) safely for many years. Unit 2 was shut down in 1991 after a turbine fire. Unit 1 was decommissioned in 1996. Unit 3 was decommission in 2000 after the international community forced their hand in exchange for funding the New Safe Containment sarcophagus over Unit 4.

I believe there are still 7 (retrofitted) RBMK reactors in use today. Kursk-3 and 4, Leningrad-3 and 4, and Smolensk 1-3. Last one won't be shut down until 2034.

The problem is that processor agnostic platforms have to follow the lowest common denominator. An agnostic USB library which works on both USB2.0 and USB1.1 microcontrollers is going to be limited to USB1.1 features.
The 5th circuit has become a joke over the past decade or so. I'm sure all the other circuits refer to it as a way on how not to conduct themselves.
But I think that's the point. A society can be extremely individualistic or more collectivist. Loneliness is an affliction of individualistic societies. And of course there is a spectrum to this.

A common refrain heard in Russia when it switched from Communism to Capitalism back in the 1990s was that people stopped talking to their neighbors. Before the switch everyone was equally poor so there was no envy. There was little pressure to work hard, so people had more time to socialize. The change was abrupt enough that everyone noticed.

I maintain the Mercure protocol (built on SSE) and the reference implementation (written in Go, available as a standalone binary and a Caddy module) which does exactly that: https://mercure.rocks

In addition to the free and open source server, we also provide a cloud offering and on-premises versions that support clustering using Redis Streams, Kafka, Pulsar or Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY as backends.

The point of the Singularity is that it's a futurist prediction, and we all know how often people are wrong about the future.
There is so much value in just being in the same room as other people. There are countless people who I have become close to that I otherwise would have ignored if we didn’t end up in the same space regularly.

I currently work in a company that has an optional office and I can say for sure that I am many orders of magnitude closer to the people who work in office than the remote ones. I quite readily have meaningful personal conversations with the people who come in office while I could hardly tell you a single thing about the remote coworkers.
This is wild.
Also if this becomes cheap enough for regular folks to buy I can see a lot of self diagnosis coming in. Then again, maybe that'll be good
But the loneliness issue is more of a recent phenomenon. In the past, Americans worked even more hours - but they had more social interaction and less family fragmentation at work and home.

I think you could blame the loneliness issue on excessive individualism, but I wouldn’t blame it on competitive, hard-working culture. Especially because there are many places in the US which absolutely do not have a competitive culture yet still suffer from loneliness.
It’s not just baby powder. It was in Grandma’s Coty powder puff and is in your little niece’s eyeshadow from Claire’s (https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-recalls-alerts/fda-a...).

As declaredapple said: talc and asbestos grow together in many mines.

So it’s difficult to say that any talc is safe without testing or knowing provenance.

It’s disappointing (but not surprising) to see your comment downvoted. And all the diminishing comments.

Yes, cigarettes are dangerous, but those I’ve known that were exposed to asbestos and died (horribly) from it never smoked.

There are entire communities in the US that used asbestos in sidewalks and playgrounds.

Companies like Johns Manville dumped it by the truckloads onto playgrounds. People spread it over sidewalks and driveways and drive-in theater parking lots, sprayed water to harden it. That stuff was the definition of frangible. Kids played in it when it was dumped, played on it when it hardened. People reminisce about the powder, falling like snow, from the factories, and wiping it from their cars.

In the 90s, EPA officials showed up in hazmat suits, ripping up sidewalks and driveways and basketball courts. The company responsible created a fund for victims, went bankrupt, and now is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway .

“Lung cancer” shows up prominently in the obituaries in those towns many years later. And the billboards in those areas are dominated by meso ambulance chasers (it’s good money for the lawyers and the victims’ families can be strung along, many reports of “penny checks”).

It’s an environmental disaster we should learn from and not repeat, but I don’t have a lot of hope reading this thread.

The new ban does not immediately eliminate all use in the US, it allows up to twelve years from now (depending on number of facilities) for companies to phase out their usage, including chlorine plants.
There’s a pretty big difference between hundreds of terabytes and an exabyte. Maybe you meant petabyte?
Yeah it’s a bit troubling. My hope is that it causes us to look at what we can do to make our cities more encouraging to social interaction. Fill in the missing middle housing, make them more human centric, etc.

It’s going to take at least a generation for that to happen though.

I believe a big reason for this is that the RP2040 is manufactured on a relatively modern process node. Mainstream MCU manufacturers use ancient nodes, which means using the same amount of SRAM is a lot more expensive area-wise.

It probably also helps that the RP2040 (and most Espressif chips too!) don't include any onboard flash. Adding a nontrivial amount of on-chip flash is quite expensive, so they just used that area budget for extra SRAM instead. If you want more than a few hundred K of flash you need to use an external chip anyways, so why bother with on-chip flash at all?
After the aborted/abandoned attempt to port redis to windows (0) this feels like a second-try at the same thing, but first party.

Of course, as a research project it doesn't have the same stability / support, etc. as redis, but I could easily imagine this rolling into a real product if it's popular.

...and as an MIT license, if nothing else, the code is a fun read. :)

> In many cases we already have the tools. The problem is that people are not using them.

The problem with these tools are that the instrumentation code inserted by the compiler comes with a 50-100% program-wide performance loss (*) and that's not acceptable to C++ developers. So in practice, you don't just add -fsanitize=address to your builds, you add it to test builds and fuzz them. But now you're not just trusting your compiler, you're trusting your tests and coverage.

The promise of Rust is that many of the memory safety bugs are forbidden at compile time in safe code, and the stuff that has to be checked at runtime (self referential data structures, out of bounds, etc) is able to be added more granularly with unsafe opt-outs where appropriate which means that you're not going to pay 50-100% in raw performance.

* take this like all perf numbers with a heap of salt, do your own benchmarks and come to your own conclusions.
How about, in the U.S. you can move 2000-3000 miles away from your family and friends but still be within the same country, and therefore, many people do.
Yes, both are inherently safe with only a small number of mishaps. From a safety point of view they are intrinsically "the same".
> Most things should be within walking distance so children can be more independent.

But 15 minute cities are a trap designed to prevent you from ever leaving! They're gonna take away your car and make you eat bugs!

Obviously not something I believe, but it is mind-boggling to me that this obvious attempt to improve lives by trying to influence urban planners to make more things walkable and convenient, could be dressed up by reactionary weirdos as an attack on their liberty.

Because it seems like such a no-brainer - have stuff (where stuff includes shops, places of work, schools, facilities etc) within easy reach. There are so many places (here in Australia too) where the housing suburbs of the larger cities are such a deadzone for simple services and facilities, that you have to get in the car to even pick up a coffee and a muffin of a morning.
That's kinda true, but if you use the compiler inserted address sanitizer code it will turn bugs from exploits into crashes. You can't exploit a OOB write if the write fails and the program crashes.
Deducing that something is rare from limited evidence is really easy. If there is no good evidence regarding something, that default position should be that the thing is rare.

No, I mean I see it with my own eyes when I walk/drive the same streets of California I have my entire life. When I was a kid, I would go to the skatepark at 10 years old and be there all day and basically have zero parent supervision and it was 'safe'. There was only one homeless person who was basically an older guy who pushed around a TV and plugged it in at various public outlets. Now, I go to the same public places and they are literally infested with fentanyl zombies who are stripping the copper wire out of the street lights... I see prostitutes walking the streets in public half naked in LA. If you have lived in SF, LA, Sacramento, or any of the other major metro areas--you can see it with your own eyes. It simply wasn't like this when I was a teenager in the early 2000s.

>Fomenting fear of a crime epidemic is an intentional and well-funded political objective.

Sure, but I just want to be able to walk in public and feel safe. That has all rapidly changed since Prop 47 passed in 2014. The entire west coast of America is in rapid decline and it's incredibly apparent--just look at any underpass or freeway offramp. Go to east Oakland and check out the Mad Max style homeless camps--it's not something that was there in 2001. I had a bullet come through my bathroom wall in SF and SFPD threw it in a sandwich baggie and never called me or did any investigation. I had multiple trespassers at my apartment building but SFPD never did anything until I finally got a restraining order... but they'd only remove them and then they'd come right back. When my grandpa died a few years ago, within a few days squatters somehow found out and moved in. Things are pretty objectively worse than they were 20 years ago. And all the stats are juked and tweaked because cops won't arrest, juries won't convict, and judges won't sentence criminals in California. The statistics are just fake at that point.

I blame it on the rise of fentanyl and meth. Drugs are cheaper than ever and more widely available due to decriminalization.

Absolutely not, the USCEAR report is pretty much the gold standard, and the number is no more than 4,000. I've read the report and I'd suggest if you're curious that you do the same. The 4,000 number includes fully realized expected number of people who would contract cancer in their lifetimes, etc. And it uses the contested and very pessimistic linear no-threshold dose response model for very low doses. It also includes increase in suicide risk due to people believing they're 'contaminated.'

As your link shows the direct deaths were around 78. Everything else beyond that is a statistical estimate, and the more anti-nuclear the group running the numbers is, the exponentially larger the "death toll." The largest estimate came in at a staggering 985,000 -- despite there only being 350,000 people in what is now the CEZ.

The EU isn't forcing me or you to do anything.

The article elaborates on this point: There Is No Cookie Banner Law. Only bad website operators choosing to abuse their users with annoying consent dialogs.

Nobody in Europe is issuing "diktats", meaning citizen-supported legislation I guess, or affecting your business, unless you're trying to deal with their citizens' data. Just don't process EU citizen data and it's not an issue. Better yet, just don't track users.

In any case, your disagreement only serves to underscore that you were speaking on behalf of 1 person, not any country or countries. Otherwise, we wouldn't be disagreeing!
I wish that would happen, but honestly I see it all getting progressively worse. Offices cost lots of money so there is a pressure to reduce them. Universities are getting rid of in person lectures and classes to replace them with cheaper standardized online content. Social media, VR, and gaming is becoming increasingly engaging. And the cost of going out and doing things in person is becoming increasingly prohibitive. Local governments are becoming increasingly poor and unable to sustain unnecessary facilities like libraries and free hang out spaces.

I don't think this is a problem the free market can solve since sense of community and socialization doesn't generate revenue efficiently. We need to start using tax money to build more free public spaces and public transport to get people connected.

You are perhaps arbitrarily choosing what is BS, based on the old primate behavior (I'm subject to it too) of choosing a 'team'. If my team is HN, I look for ways it can be winning; I root for it.

IOW, how do you know where the BS is, HN or the OP? Another way of framing it: Which is the BS, a quick take by a random commenter on an Internet bulletin board or a scientifically researched, written, reviewed, and published document, often done over years, by an expert in the field with a PhD?

I've said before: If the OP author posted on HN and said 'PhD who does research in this field here, and I think ...', they'd be upvoted. But if they do 1000x the work and 'post' to a scientific journal, it's almost always rejected by many on HN.

I mean as a very socially conservative person, I find the conservative opposition to fifteen minute cities extremely baffling.

It's preliminary research presented at a conference, in the last 24 hours.
2 points to make on that:

1) "Conservatism" these days would arguably be a US phenomenon as leading democracy in the Anglophone world. They certainly didn't get started supporting a monarchy.

2) And it is really interesting to note that, while I think monarchies are stupid, it was a remarkably good strategy. As far as I know (my history might be about to betray me) the UK didn't have an equivalent of the Terror after the French revolution or the period where the French killed off people like Lavoisier. To say nothing of the debacles in places like Russia (Communists) or Germany (Nazis) when they moved away from monarchism.

The UK probably should get rid of the King; but in hindsight a slow transition is arguably the cleverer path. It is a complex topic; the aristocrats in Europe are systematically underwhelming.
