I only see these as approximate precedents in the rough sense that they involve limiting minors’ access to speech. Otherwise, factually, I can see several distinguishing features:

- social media being optimized for addiction

- social media potentially compromising minors’ physical safety

- social media use having documented adverse mental health outcomes for minors

- the fact that social media use requires an ongoing contractual relationship between the company and the minor

I could see these factors tipping the balance on the “compelling government interest” question, though I see less of an argument for “narrow tailoring”.
Well… there are some examples of them filming some very inappropriate stuff with the child actors [0]. There are other examples but I’m not on here to talk about this anymore, I just happened to learn about this subject recently and it was topical. I think it’s disgusting anyone takes advantage of others, TikTok stars or otherwise.

I'm working on SparkShell https://sparkshell.dev

It's a free online coding website targeted towards beginners learning Markdown and other frontend tools like HTML, htmx, alpine.js, etc. It has GitHub pages-like hosting and you get your own free sparkshell.sh subdomain for your projects (which can be on your domain while having the source private!). You can also easily install certain libraries and frameworks in a couple clicks without having to deal with package managers or any of the sort. It's meant to be a sort of Repair alternative, but free.
Maybe so. I had an Action Replay disc from the time that presumably used MilCD. But according to this link (sadly Fandom), the attach rate was good: https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Software_tie_ratio#Consoles

So SneakerNet and dorm rooms may have been a factor, but not enough of one to kill the system.
It's about the ratios.

Deeply consider your motivations. The typical reason to want to start a business is to chase status.

In fact it seems like most goals people mention are to get status.

A business has one goal: to make money. Money is a poor substitute for status. Owning a small business does not really give you much status. Number of employees does give status: which is one reason some businesses implode by employing too many people.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to identify how much of what we do is status games.
Here's a previous comment I made on that topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29912252

Meanwhile, find a job you mostly enjoy that pays okay.

The most important signal is that you are not inspired - that is a sign that you rationally think starting a business is a good idea. It isn't: you are just buying into the false startup narrative. If you actually believed in a business, you would have started one.

Additionally the median business costs their founder too much lifetime and all their money.

> should I just blow my savings on paying a random guy to code something for me

That's a recipe for disaster: there's a lot of grifters out there (intentional or not - I don't know).

The low operating margin of serving a GPT-4 scale model sounds like a compelling explanation for why Google stayed out of it.

But then why did Microsoft put its money behind it? Alphabet's revenue is around $300bn, and Microsoft's is around $210bn which is lower but it is the same order of magnitude.

All the "hard" tech has been more or less built out... all that's left is drawing the rest of the owl >_>
Well, I went to the bakery and I can attest that they are indeed run by millennials. I will argue with the technical ineptness point made earlier though. If you can figure out how to make videos with music and edit in animated graphics using the tools Instagram or whoever else provides, you can figure out Wix's website builder.
Maybe they are all relevant upon full scrutiny, but that isn't obvious to me (albeit IANAL). I know what my kids buying a potentially violent video game is like, and I know it is very different than participating in social media. And regarding the CDA in the 90's, take some of the opinion:

In order to deny minors access to potentially harmful speech, the CDA effectively suppresses a large amount of speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive and to address to one another. That burden on adult speech is unacceptable if less restrictive alternatives would be at least as effective in achieving the legitimate purpose that the statute was enacted to serve.

That's just me grabbing a snippet from Wikipedia, but it seems like a different issue than the impact of social media and whether it should be allowed by minors w/o parental consent.
You don't think JSON should be validated in production?

I mean Go already does a bunch of UTF-8 validations in its JSON encoder/decoder [1]. No need to make those faster.

The lyrics on those songs are basically a pastiche of everything popular. But just based on sound it's pretty convincing. I bet you could train a generative AI to push out trance bangers as long as they don't have any lyrics.
> You are really ignoring that I put smart before hard.

chuckle. Well, I'm sure that will cheer up the kiddies: "I guess you just don't deserve a house, because you aren't smart enough."

> I am kinda surprised someone could have been in tech for > 10 years and not have significant savings,

That'll cheer up the kiddies too :-) "Wow, what's wrong with you; I can't believe you don't have anything to show for your 4 years in college and 20 years working for the man....how is that even possible? I guess you just didn't have what it takes..."

After such words of encouragement, I'm feeling better already :-) chuckle I don't want to pillory you, but I hope you might consider the possibility that canceling Tik-Tok isn't going to be some magic bullet to cheer up the youth.

I've had my fair share of success and failure--its just that the successes were sooooo much easier than the failures. If the team is right, the product-market fit is right, and its an idea whose time has come, the whole universe seems to be pulling for you. Yes, you are humping, but it's because you are like a kid on an easter egg hunt, and want to pick up as many easter eggs as you can!

But what if there're no easter eggs in the field? I.e. if the economy is down, they laid off all the people who actually know how the code works, the ones who are left introduce 5 bugs for every 1 bug they fix..

...it's like trying to paddle a boat upstream vs downstream. Yes, some factors are in your control, and you should make sure those are taken care of.

But by far the lion's share of success comes from things entirely out of your control:

* What country were you born in?

* Did you have teachers who cared?

* Could your parents pay for college, or did you start off $100k in debt?

* Did you avoid coming down with multiple sclerosis, or having a drunk driver plow into you, etc so you never had any long-term health problems?

* Did the president of the united state just spend $3 trillion of your dollars on an oil war which gave us absolutely nothing in return?

* Did those jerks on wall street detonate the economy again?

* Did the president cut taxes for everybody else but you, and finance it literally by printing money, bloating the money supply, and inevitably resulting in increasing the debt by $8.5 trillion and sparking the worst inflation we've seen since the OPEC crisis?

* And is he just going to get away with trying to steal your vote, so what little say you still have have will also be taken away?

The kids have a legitimate beef. You are not going to "work smarter, and harder" your way out of this.
What if we grew legumes?
Personally I don't think this is particularly exciting. Buy in from major social media entities at this stage is fine, but what matters, in my opinion, is the overall growth of the network outside of these incumbent social networking giants. I appreciate that they appear to be playing ball, but if the fediverse is successful on a scale that matters this will be a minor footnote.

No doubt that the existing major networks would prefer to be able to enclose the budding commons that the fediverse is starting to create, but I'm hopeful that people will choose community and/or locally operated alternatives rather than continue buying into the mega corporate offerings.

That was really boneheaded on Sega's part. They introduced the DC in Japan first, killing the Saturn which was quite successful there.

Had they waited, or at least launched in NA/EU in 1998, they could have kept money coming in from Saturn in JP while getting back into the market elsewhere.

I've been working on a no-code/low-code serverless platform for building/running web applications: https://saasufy.com/

Some unique selling points are:

- Apps are defined as declarative HTML. It's possible to build complex apps using only HTML + CSS and no back end code.

- Supports the creation of complex filters/views via a simple UI, with indexing for fast lookups.

- Collections and records update in real time.

- Efficient; real time updates only reach users who are currently looking at the affected resources/views.

- Scalable; behind the scenes, both the database and pub/sub mechanism for delivering real time updates support sharding.

- Spam prevention with rate limiting and backpressure limits.
I'm not a religious person but to each his own, if faith does it for you, have at it.

“I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.”

Those rulings all differ from the current situation in multiple aspects. For example, it was determined that the VG industry is effectively self-regulating. It's questionable that Tiktok is effectively regulating itself with respect to minors. And the CDA required the government to unconstitutionally determine decency, whereas the Florida law is about access.

But of course the elephant in the room is that the makeup of the Court has changed in a markedly more conservative direction and has proven itself not averse to revisiting previously settled law.

We have taken control of your computer. Now go buy 6 necklaces and call us back.
I have wondered about that, but we didn’t keep them strictly from it. They had Instagram and a couple other things—with screen time limits and we knew their account handles. That was apparently enough friction for them to find a workaround. “Went wild” in this context means they signed up for dozens of accounts on dozens of different services—SnapChat, Discord, Instagram, and others I’d never heard of at all.
It's obvious to you because of people like Church and Turing. Until their work on the Entscheidungsproblem was published, it was not only common, but mainstream to believe that nothing was inherently incomputable. They not only demonstrated that there were things that weren't, they did so by proving that the set of everything computable was the same set of things their approaches could compute and that certain problems were outside that set.
That’s not the right answer. The real answer is it was playing against a stockfish at a low difficulty setting.
i still can't ping my friend and say 'hey check out this thing im watching on my screen right now', unless we're all on exactly the same ecosystems, and i send the correct link, and we're all logged in, and the engineer that day remembered to put the right meta headers in, and our credit cards haven't expired...
(OP here)

I tear them off and put them in a filing box in hanging folders labeled by month. The nice thing about tearing them off is that you can pull out the sheets that you might need while you're working on something. Sometimes I just spread out everything I need on the floor so I can see it all at once. I've got a keeper clipboard that usually just has my legal pad and pen in it with a calendar sheet and all the task sheets that it links to, but sometimes I have to refer to things from years ago so I may have a few sheets from 2016 or whenever when I'm working away from home.

If you do use this method, I should add that when you link to a note, you only need to add the significant digits to the link. For instance, say you're making a list which has the timestamp 202403261200. One of the list items has a link to another note, say, 202403251123. Instead of writing out the full link, you just write [251123] since the only difference between the links of the paper you're writing on and the paper you're linking to is the day and time fields. Later, when you read the shortened link, you know it must share the same year and month as the sheet it's written on.

Another thing. Try using a calendar sheet for each month. I carry around the current month and at least the next three as well. Each event on the calendar links to a sheet that has all the info I need for that event. This has been enormously helpful for me. It helps if you use graph paper legal pads for this so you can draw the calendar easily.
Bob isn't more responsible than Alice. Bob has LESS control after the fact because the baby is growing in Alice's body. Alice's greater control of the situation directly stems from the simple nature of human physiology.
I don't quite understand what big point this is trying to make. It's very down on formal verification, but does that mean all formal verification should be thrown away?

Strong static typing? It's generally possible to write valid programs (i.e., that would run successfully without runtime errors) that don't type-check successfully. So the set of type-safe programs is smaller than the set of useful programs. Is that an argument for discarding type safety? No, because the vast majority of programs we want to write can be type-checked and it's useful to do so.

Termination checking? This post has a nice example of an effectively-non-terminating loop in Bazel. Bazel's control language doesn't have unbounded loops, so the author just nests a bunch of very long loops. It's fun, but "it's possible to write a Bazel build script that takes an infeasibly long time to run, effectively infinite" doesn't seem like a problem in practice. It's still hard to write such a thing accidentally!
OK I'm playing it now and it's brilliant. This is the way The Sentinel was meant to be!
I don't think it's a comparison - they're just saying that it's fast enough even on old mobile hardware, so it can be used on new hardware even faster.

> A better model is to ditch the project manager and give the engineering manager an administrative assistant.

Do you have any examples of this in practice? I've never seen an EM with an actual assistant before but this actually seems obvious and brilliant.
I used most of those (I paid my way through college with Photoshop 2.0 and Macromedia stuff). There is really nothing in the Open Source world that is good enough. Maybe Krita, but not for Illustrator-grade vector editing. I really miss Macromedia...
I just watching and hope to enjoy. Unfortunately, good hard science fiction is extremely rare now, and must admit, first two books of trilogy was good (and Chinese adaptation was not bad, because close enough to book).

Even, when also must admit, it is slightly boring, to repeat events from book on screen :)

But for me also interest part visualization of physics concepts, like how will multiple dimensions and dimensions unfolding look like. This is even more rare than just good SF.

Chinese graphics of multiple dimensions and sophons was not bad, even graphics looking slightly outdated (like in few years old computer games, not like on specially rendered movie).

I also wonder, if somebody will create game engine to play with all these wonders more.

It will certainly eventually blow up in someone's face. The strategy is to not be the one holding the hot potato.

So, pocket the bonuses and retire, boasting of you growing profits quarter-to-quarter by eliminating "redudancies" like proper quality assurance and safety checks, and then act shocked when the next person is held accountable for the deaths that began to accrue as a result of your changes. Those deaths won't be noticed for awhile and that's what you're counting on.

It’s a little weird to me reading all the atheist theories in this channel attempting to understand what is clear on its face if you are willing to accept that there is something bigger than your understanding of the Universe.

I was thinking things like complexity theory. The Minecraft kids are generally more on the applied side of things: software engineering, usability work, that kind of stuff; and afaik they don't really publish in ways that are easy to cite in academia.

That’s not a real alternative for a high-res workflow.
When I was playing around with the demo, I gave it a list of things to do and then asked it to convert the list to a markdown table and label the second column estimated duration. It worked like a charm. It set the first column heading to "Description" even.

I was then able to go through my list very quickly and add times to each item.

The one failure I had was when I asked it to add whitespace to visually align the table columns.

The table was, however, converted back into a list when I asked it to turn the text into an email.

It's not exactly punching numbers into a spreadsheet, but it worked pretty well for the simple use case I tried.
I mean the user wrote the lyrics (or maybe ChatGPT lol). People of course write more interesting ones (Just found a Ukrainian about Kyiv: https://sonauto.ai/songs/xRDqe57ZgT6QrFXiIzF0). There was another one about Frank Sinatra being attacked with a baseball bat but I can't find it rn.
Yes I already agreed to this. Your wife said she would talk to you about it.

Although, still, a few exceptions aside doesn't invalidate your point. TV being a single group effort is much better than thousands of individual voices, what could possibly go wrong with that:

Does this bypass organ rejection or might this still require continual immunosuppressants? The only clue to this is the following:

> Since cells are required to regenerate and maintain this living implant, the team will create two versions of NOVAJoint: a version that uses patient’s own cells and one that uses donor cells.

Presuming that the donor cells do require immunosuppressants, this leaves the question of "will the version that does not require donor cells require immunosuppressants, and if so for how long?"
