This sentiment that it's nearly impossible to convey the meaning it provides is always irritating to hear. It's an extremely condescending idea to have, when the meaning it gives people is pretty obvious to see in siblings and friends/coworkers who do have children. But that's just more reason to want to wait until you feel ready to take on the job.

I've seen how my sibling changed upon starting a family, I've seen how my PhD advisor proudly talks about every little thing his kids do.

The value it gives them is obvious, but that's just more reason not to irresponsibly pop put a baby when I barely make enough to support myself, when I don't know if I'll stay in the country I'm in, when I've had very little time being mature enough to know if my partner is someone with whom I can expect to provide a good environment for at least 18 years.
I'm afraid that Bluesky's approach to moderation is one of the worst possible ways to do it. When the internet was first starting to be mass adopted in the 90s, there was optimism that having access to such a huge variety of viewpoints would expand people's horizons. Instead, what seems to have happened is that people could find the group of people that shared their exact viewpoint, and ignore every other viewpoint. Bluesky's "choose your own moderators" approach gives a lot of power to the mods to set those viewpoints and block out anything else. I'm not sure what the solution is to getting people's viewpoints widened again (it's certainly not Twitter or YouTube's approach of throwing controversial content at you and letting you find the people in the comments that explains why your side of the controversy is right and everyone else's is wrong), but this isn't it. Ultimately I see Bluesky's technical aspects as mostly social signalling to the appropriate groups of Twitter power users rather than a fundamental shift in social media.
In a lot of markets, the institutional layer follows the critics. E.g. in the art market, museums buy what critics think is good. Not so in cars. Car guys are universally - I say universally - opposed to touchscreens and yet car companies add touchscreens all the same.
That's a nice form factor, but the lack of 10g ethernet or a PCIe slot is unfortunate.
It would be wise to not let a theory be affected by the people who preach it. A theory doesn't change because the person telling you about it doesn't have an exemplary lifestyle. Luckily for us, we are all humans and make mistakes
I pay taxes on every purchase which are used to fund public transit, but I still pay per use. I don't see why it isn't fair to also charge a usage fee on cars so that drivers feel the more immediate costs of a choice to drive somewhere.

> The good Samaritan for example. Jesus literally talks about how a person from a completely different ethnicity which hates Jews is taking care of a Jewish man.

The story would've been shocking to his Jewish audience because of the enmity that existed between Jews and Samaritans. They would've been thinking along the lines of "but how could those people be good?" upon hearing the story.

> If we really take Jesus' message it would mean no borders, no wars, just pure love for each other.

This is why Christian Nationalism is an oxymoron.
NO NO NO NO NO !
I don't think "Spanish people get to be alcoholics" is enough proof that a system works where you need to have the same currency as a poorly run country like Greece or, at this point, Germany.

(Germans are psychotically high trust and seem to just believe anything anyone tells them, like "you should shut off all your nuke plants" or "Russians are really nice and it's fine to buy all your energy from them" or "you should sell your robotics companies to China" or "you should never ever run a budget deficit".)
You just don't know the situation on the ground, and it is so different from your personal experience, this could have easily been a political satire or science fiction to you.

He did tell people to "remember Amalek":
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/11/benjamin-netany... . Amalek refers to a verse in the Bible where God told the Jews to: "go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys."

Hey sorry to hear your experience. First to clarify - it varies - the classes (usually required CS classes), usually had overcrowded Office Hours, but there were many classes in math & physics where OH was very available (and I did very well in as a direct consequence, though I was a CS major).

If students complain about availability, but never show up despite everything you did, then that's their problem. What people say and do is, unfortunately, not the same.

And I'm sorry to hear about the strange incentives for not being able to report to the department about cheating.

Initially when I started the app, I was very anti-teacher. But as I learnt more and talked to more teachers, I realized, man teachers also have their fair share of indignations from the system.
They didn't say "Nobody should be allowed to have more than two children". They simply have an opinion that people shouldn't, purposefully, have more than two children. Seems reasonable to me.
The warning was quite broad, claiming that some group was planning some attack on some large gathering, including concerts, in Moscow, of which there are many. And it warned Americans to avoid large gatherings for the next 48 hours. That was on March 7th. The actual attack would only take place on March 24th.

Incidentally, there is speculation that the attack may have been planned for March 9th. One of the terrorists was photographed at Crocus on the 7th, and on the 9th there was a large concert by Shaman - a patriotic Russian singer who's regularly made songs glorifying the war in Ukraine, performed for soldiers in Russia's claimed territories, and so on. This would also have coincided with just before the Russian elections, which happened on the 15th. But security was extremely high during that concert - very possibly in response to the US warning.

By contrast when Russia warned the US about the Boston Bomber, the warning was precise to the point of even naming him.

There was a famous OKCupid post showing that men rated women on a bell curve (so the average was 5/10), but women rated men on average much lower.

Everyone took this to mean that women only want to date the top 20% of men. But it actually just meant women give out lower ratings and that's the only thing it meant.

Despite the increase in cardiac risks, stimulant medications remain the most effective treatment for ADHD in adolescents. “Treatment with ADHD medications reduces accidental injuries, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse, cigarette smoking, educational underachievement, bone fractures, sexually transmitted infections, …”

ADHD is associated with a litany of negative consequences if left untreated. An increase in the risk of a rare cardiac issue seems trivial next to the well documented risks of not treating this condition as effectively as possible.

Thanks for sharing. 100% - one of the downsides of focusing on attendance and in-person interactions is - simply the time cost, inflexibility and inconvenience for students who already have saturated schedules.

Yeah, there is definitely this trend toward fixed-fee work. We're interested to see how it evolves over the next 10 years (and how PointOne might be able to help with work that is not billed by the hour).

> You have to prove having worked at L+1 while still at L to get promoted to L+1.

Yes, and this line of thinking has spread to many orgs. And as you point out people tend to just move elsewhere instead.

The length of the observation window is one thing, and more fundamentally employees are asked to work above their pay grade in hope for it to be noticed/recognized, which is never a fun thing to do.

Then comes the responsibility problem: If a dev want to become a manager, there's no way to let them deal with HR, write performance reviews and do 1 on 1s including private information as a trial. They need the actual role inked in their contract, have people treat them as a manager. They can't be doing it as a role playing exercice. A probation period could work, but I think it would be pretty awkward to have them step down after 3 months.

Habits -> Shortcuts.app -> Automation -> Personal automation on a geofence
Most human authors are frankly far too stupid to be worth reading, even if they do put care into their work.

This, IMO, is the actual biggest problem with LLMs training on whatever the biggest text corpus us that's available: they don't account for the fact that not all text is equally worthy of next-token-predicting. This problem is completely solvable, almost trivially so, but I haven't seen anyone publicly describe a (scaled, in production) solution yet.
Here's an example just from today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPuAOYIjieQ

The only real peace (aka "normalization") we have (had?) is with the UAE.

We only have "peace" with Egypt and Jordan on paper.

This is much worse than a cold war situation between the US and the Soviet Union back in the time.

Their armies still define Israel as their main enemy.

These countries are not safe for Israelis to travel.

In Jordan's case we only have "peace" with the foreign royal family imposed by Britain. And even that doesn't include their queen ;)

And yes, US provided and still provides military aid to terror group such as PLO, Fatah, even Hamas and PIJ (under the pretext of humanitarian aid).

US even removed Houthis from the list of terror group in order to give them money (and just recently put them back on the list).

Similarly with lifting sanctions on Iran, which resulted in giving them $10B.

This rings true "trying to be a good teacher in a university setting is extremely unrewarding". Thanks for sharing, and the students who make you feel bad despite you doing more than your fair share, can gtfo.

I can honestly say using copilot and chatgpt semi regularly as an aid has helped increase my productivity by a nonzero amount. If this is the case for a large portion of people who work with computers regularly then I think it could very well have an upward trend on economic growth maybe just not super explosive. Yet what percentage of increase in productivity would be the threshold for "explosive" growth? 50%, 10%, or even 1%? With things like copilot for office or having a chatgpt button built into

At this point, we've actually been generating narratives with a lot of detail (and the attorneys will frequently edit our narratives to pare them down). So long as we are smart about data collection, we have what we need to be sufficiently descriptive and accurate, which has been good to see.
I am very surprised there isn't a dedicated square keyboard for this problem that uses the toggle on/off idea.

Keys are labeled with the organizations logo or name. Hitting it once starts the clock, hitting it again stops the click. Time is added to an overall total for each button/org.

The keyboard comes with a simple software that allows programming the keyboard and logging time.

Keys change colors when on/off. Multiple keys can be on at once.

I must be missing some key domain knowledge to not understand why the above isn't used. It's very similar in essence to an old school hole puncher clockin out machine.

I've seen lab techs count different cells using a specialized counter where each button increments a different value while looking down a microscope.

The issue is when you're deep in work you might forget to toggle the switches. Maybe this is the biggest issue.

If you're pointing out used hardware, doesn't it make sense to factor in service life?

Google tells me that the service life of a processor can be as low as 5 years it it's subjected to poor cooling, and certainly those who are getting rid of those expensive processors are doing so due to a need to rotate their hardware.
This feels like 1998. Give it a decade for the real businesses and use cases to emerge.
The ease with which he can use AI is the same as for everyone else. Therefore he gains no relative benefit and can't "make money from AI".

However, information-retrieval and "thinking assistance" helps everyone at the same time. Asking for summarization and clarification of any (legal or technical) document, finding the right references, and so on. It's like everyone gets instant access to a research department.

This means fewer people are needed for "clerical jobs". Effectively, it diminishes the economic value of memorisation and mechanical information work. But that's probably good a thing.
lets start with a 4/5g telephone with MMS, a calculator, a camera...no apps, no google/apple/spyware and a qwerty keyboard - we can talk after those parts are down.

A proper loop will maintain constant positive G's. Wouldn't anticipate too much shifting. You wouldn't even need your seatbelt.

The memory access pattern of inverse texturing is just as chaotic when it comes to reading texels, which is why the Playstation's texture cache plays an important role in its performance characteristics.

Saturn doesn't have a texture cache, since texel reads should be nice and sequential. But then it pays a penalty when writing to the framebuffer.
This article would be much more interesting if it had any actual information about the root cause of the CPU usage drop, instead of random guesses (magic? faster context switch? luck?).

Suggesting people to have child in their 20ties, to avoid health problems, is sexist and not based in reality. This is just extrapolation of this trend.

People can totally freeze relevant body parts, and have child in their 70ties. Saying anything else would be sexist! Natural selection in action...
FWIW it has a specific purpose in Unicode: compatibility.

Another thing not yet mentioned is that it literally becomes physically more difficult to have children as you age. Female fertility starts to rapidly drop in their thirties, and many will hit menopause in their 40s. The exact age is somewhat random, and some women will even enter menopause in their 30s.

Before I had children I thought it would be relatively easy - that's why you use birth control after all. But when you actually have children you learn things like at best you're looking at, at best, a 10-30% probability per month if you hit the ~48 hour ovulation window just perfectly. That doesn't sound so bad - because a month isn't such a long time, and ovulation is pretty predictable. But when you start late each month matters, and then if you want to actually have multiple children, then you're already looking at a years long process.

And then add in that as you age, all sorts of birth defects and disorders like Down Syndrome become much more likely, and you can't effectively test for them until about halfway through the pregnancy. It's just not a great idea to start late. I'd also add that for us to have a sustainable population, everybody needs to be having more than 2 children on average. This is going to take a pretty substantial reshaping of society and culture, or our society and culture will simply go extinct.
Also .. I think that the Ukrainians are testing the prototypes on the battlefield and rejecting designs that don't work quite early. I have seen a prototype of a machine gun with auto tracking (reminded me of Aliens 2). Also the flying drone designs are made my a large number of companies to avoid the risk of one company being destroyed by a russian missile strike. I would assume that this is also common for other products for their military.

I want something similar but for children's literature. From Ralph and the Motorcycle to Peter Pan, a lot of stuff doesn't hold up.

The books provide plenty of utility. But many things don't hold up to modern thinking. LLMs provide the opportunity to embrace classic content while throwing off the need to improvise as one parses outmoded ideas.
