If you haven't read the article, it's about how people having kids later means you won't meet your great grandparents.

My mom had me when she was 23, and her mom had her at 22. I'm in my forties and still have two living grandparents, and am very grateful for them. I remember a lot of days where my grandmother watched me and my sister, and she was able to do that because she was only in her late 40's herself and plenty mobile. I knew two of my great grandmothers, one of them only dying in my teens.

Not everyone can rely on parents to help with childcare, but it is worth keeping in mind that if you wait until your mid 30's they might not be able to catch a running toddler like they could a decade earlier.

My mom also managed to have a really good career, though she went to night school when I was around 6 and worked her ass off in general. But, she had a high earning partner to support her.

I don't really have a single point here, except that I worry we've ignored the less-obvious downsides to people delaying childbearing until their mid 30's.
On a lot of things "good answers" include personal value judgments - having a product that directly delivers those (unlike traditional search) is not trivial and needs noticeable personalization which is comparatively expensive. Not clear if that model is cost efficient.
In the same way a zip file is static linking, I guess, since Docker images are just tarred gzips. But .deb packages can include files and scripts that create directories, too.
Is it better to be one of those 0 to 1 kids, science valuing types who fear insiders? They're not okay with a significant fraction of their peers, which does look maladaptive to me.

Electronics and very bright nighttime lighting are a ton of it.

Cutting those out would turn a hell of a lot of “night owls” or people who “can’t sleep” into people who sleep on a normal schedule just fine.

It’s obvious when you consider what all that stuff really means. Obviously it’s hard to sleep when you spend your hours after sunset in hundreds-of-candle-power lighting and have hyper-stimulation of a hundred kinds available at the press of a button.

Of course there’s also apnea and kids and such, but that’s a large proportion of the problem, overall.
> I see now that the title is too controversial, I should have toned that down.

Sometimes a click-baity title is what you need to get a decent conversation/debate going. Considering how many comments this thread got, I'd say you achieved that even if sparking a lengthy HN thread had never been your intent.
A docker image consists of several layers, each of which contains only the modifications to the layers below it. Each layer and the final image is immutable. Docker uses OverlayFS to provide a unified view of the various layers.

A running container is based on an immutable image and a single writable layer. That writable layer is unique to the container which contains all modifications made to the immutable image by processes running in the container.

Docker relies on the immutability of layers to share them between containers. This is not much different from how regular Linux processes all share the readonly contents of binaries and libraries that they load, while each process has its own private heap space that is not shared with other processes.

That means that deleting a file from a base layer, either when building an image or at runtime from the container, doesn't actually modify the contents of that layer. It only adds a tombstone marker to the writable layer, that indicates the file was deleted, and OverlayFS creates the illusion that the file no longer exists inside that container.

(The flipside is that deleting files from immutable layers doesn't actually free up space because the actual file contents don't go anywhere, but that's rarely a problem.)

Due to the way hashing works, any change is equivalent to any other one for the purpose of finding a collision.

So you can just alter the formatting to a different convention, alter spacing, add a comment, reorder equivalent lines.

So you can insert a comment and continue altering it until you get a match by varying the line breaking, switching words with synonyms.
The professor positions themselves aren't particularly cushy at the end of that road. Some postdocs take a look at the prospects of 60-70 hour weeks, very little time to focus on anything scientific or technical, and huge piles of administrative work, and relatively low pay and choose to industry options not out of a lack of the ability to land a professorship.
You see, the thing is, it's deeply classist. It's also misplaced outrage. The poors have been doing this for millenia and we still have a society that progresses rapidly and much of the heavy lifting that moves us forward is done by folks you and others here are denigrating. If they believe the things you disparage it's because the governments and systems that the "smart" and wealthy have created have utterly failed at getting those people educated and involved.

Using your education to feel better than others doesn't serve us to advance as a society. I suggest that if you're as smart as you think you are then you find a way to frame the issue such that you're lifting up those people and not punching down.

From the first look it looks like Claude 3 performed as well as the rest of the models. Did not see any massive improvement.

I tried a simple prompt driven web devel approach using OpenRouter to test GPT4-Turbo, Claude 3 Opus and Mistral Large, along with GPT3.5 and some other models.

I prompted about 6 small content sections each with different requirements (headline, main text, motto, download links, footer).

Each model was able to provide reasonable HTML and CSS.

However, ALL models started losing context dropping elements and were unable to finish the page with full content. I had to prompt the missing content again.

Surely there would be enough context window for a few lines of text?

>> A lack of sleep means a lack of energy. You're body compensates by getting food energy.

I saw this ironically during military basic training. Lots of exercise, but very little sleep. The body compensates by keeping blood sugar levels high. I was one of the many that actually gained weight during basic training. The eating routine of three solid meals eaten very quickly also was not healthy.

Emotionally, it seems hard for me to believe that the Boeing leadership would be part of something criminal. And yet, the timing is weird.

This dude hasn’t been employed by Boeing for some years. He was part of a Netflix documentary made about it. I don’t think the public took him seriously until people died, and there were multiple safety incidents.

It would be interesting to see what the police report about this was. How long has he owned that gun? From what angle the that bullet come from? Were there any drugs still in his system? Any witnesses at the time of the shooting?

If it was suicide, surely there are evidence that it is suicide and other evidence disproving that he was murdered.

I’ve heard the path to getting a professorship in China after getting a PhD in the US was basically a sure thing, and could be used as a backup plan if the cushy US industry job path didn’t work out (or as a zero-risk plan if you wanted to move back home).

Now, it’s the opposite; people with hard-to-obtain visas get stranded in the US because the job market back home is too competitive for them.

This is great for China, but terrible for the US.

We need to bring the US education system back up to modern standards so that more Americans succeed in industry, and we also need to again make it a no-brainer for skilled workers to stay here.
Having gone through school and now being an adult, I know full well that normal kids only need one or two bathroom breaks during the day.

I also know that there was a large group of kids, generally poorer performing students, who used "bathroom break" as a get-out-of-class-for-10-or-20-minutes each period as a freebie that they will always use.

The teachers aren't dumb. They know which kids are abusing the system. And they know these kids will shamelessly look you in the eyes and say "I have to take a shit, I must go to the bathroom" and then go fuck around for 10 or 20 minutes.
Although life expectancy was a lot lower in the past than today that was mostly due to infant mortality. It's true that a lot of women died during childbirth, which meant that the life expectancy of women was less than that of men (I think), but I would guess that a woman who survived giving birth to at least one child who survived probably had a "reasonable" chance of surviving to 60 or 70. So I don't think great-grandmothers would have been that unusual in the past.

Thank you for answering.

You have a bit more faith in a technical solution working at scale than I do, but I have to point out, that after repeatedly claiming that no one wanted an ID scan, your proposal involves an ID scan.

I also have to point out, that PII and GDPR protections are meaningless here. Under a government mandated censorship regime, the threat is the government, not some data broker somewhere.
Try ChatGPT4. It's obvious that almost no one in this thread has.

It still screws up, but unlike 3.5 it sometimes catches unreasonable answers and corrects itself. Case in point: the other day I asked it for the gain of a helical antenna with certain dimensions. It said "150 dBi," then said, basically, "Wait, no, that's nuts," and used a different approach to get the right answer.

Parrots don't do that. If yours does, I would like to buy your parrot, please.

In any case, as you learn to ask it the right questions to explain, verify and correct itself interactively, you will be learning the material. I find this to be amazingly effective.
Government agencies exempted themselves from GDPR and similar. That was discussed on HN in context of the break in Ireland.

Oh I don’t disagree, I just meant that it’s a bit overkill to say they/we don’t hang out in person at all. I do have fond memories of running Halo 2 with my stepsister when I was 8-9, and those sort of nights seemed to get less common as we got smart phones.

I am in a bit of a weird situation because I’m more independent than most (somewhat absent / workaholic family) but I know that’s the exception.
That’s the key; the thread showing the UI mustn’t do any real work. Instead do the work on another thread and then communicate the status back to the UI thread. Exactly how you do that is up to you; there are plenty of different ways to do it that depend on other choices you’ve made, such as whether you’re using async or not, what async runtime you use, etc, etc.

The very simplest way to do it might be for the UI thread to send the work thread an Arc<AtomicBool>. The work thread can set the bool to true when the work is finished. The UI thread can branch on the value of the bool each frame to decide what to draw. Job done.
On the other hand, I tend to appreciate middling/meandering shows for winding down since I get to stay in the same story/universe over the course of a week or more instead of sprinting through it in 90min sitting.

That said, the problem with this criticism is that a bad show is a bad show and it doesn't mean it would've been better as a movie even if there were the option. Instead of saying "this bad show would've been better as a good movie" you might as well just say "better as a good show". But it just wasn't.
Yes, I believe that would help. Or perhaps make them appear "raised" or something like that - like a raised block that can't be traversed.
No, a regular search result is safer because it isn't opaque. It allows you to go to the site and make your own decision about whether the source is high quality or not, how old the article is, etc.

Guy in my high school class just pissed in a trashcan when he was told no.

The idea that you can do this to students without some biohazard cleanup is absurd. It's also just another way America deals with education issues by dealing with everything but the issue. If the issue is students falling behind, it's not because half of the high school class is going to vape in the bathroom. It's because school starts too damn early, kids don't retain info over the summer, and their home lives don't permit the best possible out-of-class education situation.

We could deal with those things, but that would mean the sports teams have to practice later, get over the idea that kids don't help their families plant in the summer, and deal with socioeconomic factors, respectively.

And that's, like, hard, man.
They’re so very wasteful of one’s time. With rare exceptions, nearly all of the last couple waves of “prestige” tv seasons and miniseries would be improved by cutting 25-50% of their runtime.
This whole thread is a bunch of boomers or gen X folks who are upset at the techno freedom that the youth have. These same boomers and Gen X are then advocating for taking away freedom of internet association.

Then you come here and write out a post explaining how the kids of today are living in a relative prison and back in the day you got all this freedom to go on dates at the mall that your parents wouldn’t approve of.

Your parents would have banned you from going to the mall if they knew what you were doing - and you’re also an out of touch boomer - and that’s not a comment about your age, but about your mentality.
Personally, I think the threat from the biologics itself is a little overstated. If COVID was released from a lab (I think it was natural), it was most likely due to bad governance and management of the lab. For DIY things - most DNA can be screened. I have had companies offer screening services for about 50k-100k a year. I can't afford that! So hopefully a free service or something near to that comes online.
The lack of API credits for Claude Pro subscribers is also a bit of an oversight. I’d like to be able to consume my daily quota via the API as well as the chatbot.

Your point by itself is valid. But in a practical sense, that is not the diet of the cattle that comprise most of the American beef supply. https://www.worldanimalprotection.us/latest/blogs/what-do-co... has data and citations. To summarize, 70% of dairy cattle feed is not hay or grass (soy, corn, distilling industry byproduct). That figure is 80% for beef cattle.
I think if I squint and turn my head a bit I can almost maybe see a semblance of a point to what you're trying to say.... but it doesn't really hold up for me at all.

Learning isn't fun doesn't really relate to the fact that bodily functions exist. If a kid is well but going to the restroom for 30 minutes every class period and on their phone etc just skipping.... I guess punish that as if it were skipping? You can't just assume negative intent across the entire student body when it comes to checks notes pooping in a toilet like a person?
My wife is only a few years younger than I am, but she still has all of her grandparents. They are around age 80.

I didn't have my first child until I was almost 40, and my grandmother on my father's side died the week we were going to tell everyone that we were having a kid. My other three grandparents all died in the 1990's.

Also, many of my cousins had kids before they were 20, some of them became grandparents before I even became a parent. And likewise, I ended up with aunts/uncles that became great-grandparents before my dad became a grandparent.

I got some random generic one. I wouldn't recommend it as the quality could've been better. For you, I also tried tape over the mouth. I got a wide washi tape from a friend and experienced similarly helpful results to the chin-strap. However, I found that comfort-wise, I preferred the chinstrap.

But, if you can breath through your nose well enough, I think some kind of mouth tape can work? I haven't tried the Hostage brand anti-snore tape, but maybe someone here has had experience with that.

If you really want the chinstrap that I got, I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DR16XGV/

Based on the pictures, it obviously pushes the jaw backwards. That obviously wouldn't work for you. I wear mine in such a way that it is helping my jaw close and stay shut. I agree that you don't want something pulling your lower jaw backwards.
I'll provide a weak counterpoint. Yes, if a student claims in good faith that they need to use the bathroom, there is no excuse for not letting them go. However, expecting students (some of them) to behave in good faith is silly.

Students will often abuse this privilege (assumption of good faith) to go to the bathroom to escape the strict classroom environment, to socialize with their peers, or do whatever they want. The school sees this as a challenge to their authority so they crack down as in TFA.

(Never mind the fact that schools are making a smelly room with toilets and a sink a more attractive place to be than the classroom for some students is itself sickening to the core.)

Edit: I'm not one to complain about downvotes, but this time I don't get it. Am I wrong? These are things I've observed in a variety of schools, and in relatively well-off areas at that. I'd imagine the problems are far more acute in areas of lower socioeconomic status.

Yeah if one wealthy family threatens to sue the school district over emotional distress because their kid has an accident that would have easily been avoided if they could have gone to the bathroom for a third time that day this is going to be all over.

And that's good thing, this is insane helicoptering.

To address this bit - the problem is (and I think you're actually trying to make this point) - we need biologists. We need physicists. We need material scientists. SaaS is sucking all the oxygen out of the room because the alternatives pay so much less. By the time this thing equilibrates, there will insufficient American institutional knowledge in core sciences.

My family has really long generations. Going back 7 generations for me patrilinearly is exactly 280 years; 40 years per generation. When I was young my grandparents were already in their 80s and both grandfathers gone before I was 14. Sadly, both had mental decline (stroke, Alzheimers) and I never knew them in their right mind. They'd be in their 110s today. The idea of knowing my great-grandparents, who would be in their 140s-150s today, is basically unthinkable for me.
