Almost everyone in the age group in question is aware of these problems. It doesn't seem like a moral panic. It is a truly radical change in human life to have so much information in one place, so accessible, all the time. The newspaper changed society, the telegram changed business and war, but none systemically changed human behavior and thinking for every human it comes in contact with like a smart phone.

It has changed childhood behavior, and parenting behavior as well.

I really don't think this is a standard fear of something not understood, it's pretty clear it's affecting people and there should be a change.
According to this paper, GPU4FS is a file system that can run on the GPU and be accessed by applications. Since GPUs cannot make system calls, GPU4FS uses shared video memory (VRAM) and a parallel queue implementation. Applications running on the GPU can utilize GPU4FS after modifying their code, eliminating the need for a CPU-side file system when accessing the file system. The experiments are done on Optane memory.

It would be interesting to know if this approach could optimize the performance of training and inference for large models.
There is no rational reason to justify throwing out the entire analysis over one mistake.
Did you read where I said the outside has been closed for legal reasons? In my area that was the only outside park available. It has a fence around it and are you just suggesting kids go get themselves arrested or perhaps worse for trespassing? I guess all is well as long as kids have a wall to bounce a ball off of!
Getting batches of paint right so every single blue pannel looks like every other blue pannel will NOT go the way they think it will. There will be legendary color mismatches, and it will be hilarious.
Then the kids risk having the cops called, and the parents risk having CPS called from a neighborhood busybody.

That's exactly the problem - even if the kids AND the parents are willing, the wider society makes it such an enormous hassle and risk. And there's no guarantee you'd win a legal case, especially if you can't afford to.

The endgame is the singularity, which, by definition, offers no clear view of the future.

I don’t see any effective way to fight it other than joining it. Any well intentioned steps can be easily and even unintentionally subverted by other players who have different perspectives on the ethical landscape.

It’s not that we have decided. Others will decide for us regardless of our decision.
or Google can on Android by the same argument.
Does wayland/x11 use generic GPU drivers(that is supported by all GPU) to write to a framebuffer? For example, if there is no shell such as Gnome or KDE, and we are only booting to a terminal - do wayland/x11 still use that generic GPU driver to draw letters to the screen?
where do you live that there are no parks in your suburb? mine is chock full of them, there's a park every couple blocks. why has your HOA closed a hill, and have you gone to meetings to advocate for reopening it?
Experience. Can only suffer from imposter syndrome so many times before you start to see a pattern.

Of course, any given instance may be right or wrong, but the balance of probability has shifted.

It’s especially egregious when you have literal years of experience with a subject and some person without any of that makes, or gets people to make decisions their way instead.
Because in the absence of source access, your query planner is "call one of Rich Hickeys goons".
If the particles we are made of came from the sun, perhaps we are quantum entangled with it as well.
The answer doesn’t actually lay out how electricity flowing through a bunch of NAND gates physically causes the computer/CPU to begin booting up.

There’s always a step missing in these types of answers,

step n: electricity begins to flow through gates

step n+1: ???

step n+2: Microcode execution begins

Presumably in step n+1 something happens to the chip, more than just heating it up, that causes a regular pattern which we would call the very first step of microcode booting up.
> Consciousness is different, as we don't know how it works, but we have no evidence suggesting either that it will require a complete rewrite of fundamental physics to explain

Consciousness regularly/usually claims to have omniscient knowledge of all that is, something which is not supported by physics.

Either consciousness is incorrect, or physics is, and I don't think I've ever met a physicist who believes they're incorrect on their omniscient knowledge. Seems like wherever you look in reality there are paradoxes like this that spring up, which makes me wonder what reality is.
This feels like worse than the current situation, though.
Sometimes we all make mistakes

And sometimes we catch the real tough breaks

But here's a trick that I've been working on

Just say "Oops!", and move on

Ran out of gas, maybe you stepped on broken glass

Or spilled 100 million gallons of oil and screwed up the Earth

Don't you get morose, take a weekend yatch trip of the English coast

'Cause it's all good, don't let the little people spoil your fun

Just say "Oops!", and move on

As I said recently in a talk I gave, 2FA as implemented by pypy or github is meaningless, when in fact all actions are performed via tokens that never expire, that are saved inside a .txt file on the disk.
I remember even into the early 2010s we would still just make for example /boot ext2 for simplicity sake (perhaps?). Is that still in practice? Haven’t been in the OS deployment weeds for a minute..
Well, you’ve obviously have put some thought into this, even if subconsciously. I would like to just add that not only was the ai dj terrible but I would always just hear the same songs over and over. I never count but seems like a handful of songs would be in every play list 8/10 times.
My bet is that we'll have to wait for implants before this kicks off and makes mobile phones obsolete.

I'd never talk to my glasses in public, and Google burned the popular image of those.
I was replying to your other post, but I guess I can do it here... I would argue that there's a reason those articles were written about the incidents. They don't happen as often so when they do, news articles like to highlight the incidents and pretend that they're the norm. It's not.

You posted 3 incidents of it happening - do you know how many kids are out there with parents _not_ getting harassed? A lot more I would bet.
Not at all, since if that was the most likely possibility it would already be factored into the price

Why has Github disabled the (apparently official) xz repository, but left the implicated account open to the world? It makes getting caught up on the issue pretty difficult, when GitHub has revoked everyone's access to see the affected source code.

PostgreSQL didn’t exist in the 1990s. It was called Ingres. Postgres started as a personal project and was first released in 1999, but was unusable. Around 2004 the project started getting popular and hipsters started screaming that MySQL didn’t have stored procedures and wasn’t fully ACID. Acid became a buzzword for PG fanboys, even though data corruption and memory leaks plagued the system for the first decade. It became a stable around 2008 as long as you didn’t mind restarting your database every few days. PostgreSQL didn’t really become a viable option until around 2010.
none of those other things were personalized with algorithms and psychological hooks designed to keep you in app for longer
It's worth noting that you don't have to do this manually. Enabling "overlay filesystem" in raspi-config will do this for you, so that all changes to the filesystem are lost after a reboot.
What protocols/networks do you consider P2P? Every P2P technology I have used requires some bootstrapping.

Building the first highway segment in the U.S. that can charge electric vehicles
No, my entire thing has always been based on possession being the crime. The current law is written to outlaw creation too, but I don't see how that could stay if creating 99 counterfeits is legal, as proving this was the 100th counterfeit you made would be a challenge.

Even if the middleman flipped, unless you made them in front of them you could say you got them from someone else.

Yes, they may eventually be able to pin it on you, but under the current system they can instantly charge anyone that is a serious counterfeiter and ignore someone who counterfeit one stamp. They don't need to bother making someone flip then somehow proving you've made at least 100 stamps.

I will say, this explains most of our disagreement, with a bit more coming from my opinion that making this a misdemeanor would still allow some abuse, depending on the punishments.

And I'm done, I no longer find this fun. I don't think the current law is being used to unjustly punish people, and that's good enough for me.
> trying creates unintended consequences.

Not trying creates the unintended consequences of a double suicide rate.

Maybe it's worth trading one set of unintended consequences for another.
I guess the ease of audio makes it feel more “real”
Disclaimer: I have kids.

Reading the comments, I’m shocked people are resigned to it being an inevitability. As if we all didn’t grow up before internet and smartphones. (80s kid here) All those things are still there: museums, arcades, amusements parks and kid centers. Nevermind all the free stuff like parks, playgrounds and hiking. Or simply going over to a friend’s house. Did coloring books, legos and puzzles disappear? No. Hell, even TV is better than smartphones.

Kids on smartphones is a choice. I think the problem is that modern society has forgotten that it is ok to be bored. You don’t have to be entertained every second of the day.
What if I want to look something up without speaking my search terms out loud? It would be good if I could carry around a small companion device I could type my search into, if I wanted some privacy.
I'm more convinced that getting kids involved in team sports is probably the best way to go, and honestly those are things are that are more common/practical in suburban environments than urban ones because sports facilities are cheaper to build and more plentiful.

Can't be holding a cellphone while practicing a sport, requires effort and concentration, and face to face socializing.
Well that's just the problem isn't it? The "outside" you're probably thinking of doesn't really exist anymore in a lot of places either. Suburbia especially is a hellscape of empty flat crab grass lawns and sidewalks and tarmac. There isn't any fun nature to explore. If there had been where I had grown up I would have loved it.
When it comes to understanding kid's mental health and trying to improve it, Silicon Valley is probably the last place on earth we should go to for advice.
Bluetooth is basically broken in implementation. I’ve noticed all my Bluetooth issues went away after switching to iPhones. I’m guessing most cars just hyper optimize to Apple.
My source code is important to others but not to me. I have backups. but 2FA is annoying to me.

It's very easy to permanently lose accounts when 2FA is in use. If I lose my device my account is gone for good.

Tokens from github never expire, and can do everything via API without ever touching 2FA, so it's not that secure.
You’re not wrong, but generally the political friction of deploying a new service to k8s is lower than what you propose as well.

I've been trying to tell people this for years. My bank still tries to get me to sign up to voice id whenever I call in. Voice is a terrible method for authentication.
I work at a relatively unique EEG startup, and our single-patient-use EEG headbands cost a bit more than this project.

That said, doing an EEG on yourself is a bit disappointing imo; You won't get much interesting output.
I dearly miss when there was an operating restaurant (and fishing pier) on one of the islands, such a special place to stop off on a family road trip and probably gone forever in a post-9/11, post-COVID world. Being allowed to stop in the middle of the bridge tunnel was so cool and I hate that we might never be allowed to again.

The denial of the parental right to shield their children from the harshness of the outside world and the human condition, until an appropriate age and level of education. Homeschooling was one form of backlash, along with the alt-parenting movements, and all the rest. All doomed to failure, but the resistance continues. Started long before smartphones. Encyclopaedia salesmen used to have to contend with the "I don't want my kids getting wise too fast" problem. We'll say the same thing about implants. The exo-cortex is good, actually.
I think there's a caveat with the current market.

Many Big Tech companies are in a phase of pre/post-layoff hunger games. Meanwhile, more and more AI startups are appearing, with lucrative-looking equity packages.

In both cases, a pragmatist could reasonably conclude that "working hard to keep the high-paying day job" is a better strategy than "going into the jungle and start a startup."
But systemd precisely doesn't pass an FD. If it did, you would just need to write() and close().
The outside is more than that park or hill that was closed. Unless it's illegal just for kids to be outside, in which case I'd say yea that's unfortunate - but it's not the norm.

Also arrested or worse for trespassing on a hill? Please. The worse they'd get is a lecture by the cops the first time.
Phrased passively like this, it’s darkly hilarious.

It’s preventable.
I see kids outside playing in the street and in yards and in my neighborhood park all the time.

What suburbs are you folks choosing to live in?

also some of your examples, like the CNN article about Maryland, seem like they may be targeted harassment from CPS against parents who they dislike for other reasons. the article is also nine years old -- why didn't you post something about how that story ended?

> In June 2015, Maryland officials clarified their views about children playing or walking alone outdoors in a new policy directive, saying Child Protective Services should not be involved in such cases unless children have been harmed or face a substantial risk of harm.[3]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meitiv_incidents

The investigation went nowhere. So who cares? this is an isolated incident that caused a set of parents to have a single bad encounter with police. surely that's a problem with police more than anything?

I don't understand the motivation for posting misleading links like this
I believe this was in the late 90’s and in any case, they didn’t succeed at implementing the system they hyped so much - which is the real problem.
This made me curious, so I looked at the original Doom shareware distributions on archive.org. They do include a license that allows free distribution but prohibits commercial use and generally seems to want you to not do anything other than run the software as designed. Although there are several different versions of the license and I didn't look through all of them, it's possible that some distributions were made with less restrictive licenses.

This surprised me because I thought that id's original shareware releases actually had more permissive licenses than that. Maybe the original Commander Keen did.

I guess maybe id/ZeniMax/Microsoft could theoretically sue you. But in practice the shareware assets are used completely freely without issue all over the internet.
Seems not open source (yet) and slow fpga (but did have a start). Any open APIC version?
It's on an 11-year cycle so the data rate to us is really really slow.
Caught and, more importantly, nothing bad typically happened to anyone involved. Also worth noting that there is probably a survivorship bias in play.
A lot of people also run them with a power supply that will undervolt, switched to ones with more amps and haven't had issues since
I made a library where version 2 is really really much faster than version 1. I'd want everyone to just move to version 2.
My bad, I was too focused on that class in general, imagining “lz4 and friends”.

Zstd does reach LZMA compression ratios on high levels, but compression times also drop to LZMA level. Which, obviously, was clearly planned in advance to cover both high speed online applications and slow offline compression (unlike, say, brotli). Official limit on levels can also be explained by absence of gains on most inputs in development tests.

Distribution packages contain binary and mixed data, which might be less compressible. For text and mostly text, I suppose that some old style LZ-based tools can still produce an archive roughly 5% percent smaller (and still unpack fast); other compression algorithms can certainly squeeze it much better, but have symmetric time requirements. I was worried about the latter kind being introduced as a replacement solution.
I mean yes, of course it is.

But there is still a difference between risk and fraud.

Risk would be if joe random tells you he'll "invest" your money in lottery tickets and then give you a 10% return if he wins or nothing if the "investment" goes bad.

Fraud is when he tells you that, but takes your money and buys himself some stuff.

Either way you lost all your money but in the second case you can sue the guy for fraud. In the first case he did as promised and lost the money but you only have yourself to blame for doing a dumb investment.
I've always laughed my ass off at the idea of a disclosure window. It takes less than a day to find RCE that grants root privileges on devices that I've bothered to look at. Why on earth would I bother spending months of my time trying to convince someone to fix something?
This needs a Rust joke. You know, the problem with the whole certification charade is it slows down jobs and prevents __actual_problems getting evaluated. But is it safe?
How that backdoor is triggered and what exactly it does?

I feel like it isn't a surprise Hacker News has more opinions on software security than enviornmental disaster.

If you post about the backdoor to an environmental forum, I suspect it wouldn't gain as much traction.
if your system has already been compromised at the root level, it does not matter in the least bit
I appreciated your detailed update!
I think it is even highly desirable to be bored once in a while. Completely agree with everything.

Kids are just mirroring what they learnt from their parents. Phone at the dinner table, phone out as son as you step into the elevator for literally a 20sec ride, phone out on a date or when hanging out with friends. These started more than a decade ago.

I think your use of innocence is referring to your perceived ethical and moral compass, so while you have a theoretical point about guilty and innocent, your argument isn’t based on legality of actions which ultimately is all that matters.

But if you think AWS would have any shred of ethics when it comes to a topic like this, you’re much more optimistic than I am.
I wasn't complaining about greed, not in this comment anyway. I was merely describing the nature of free markets with supply & demand as its driving principle.

Those are the rules, but employers despise getting beaten at their own game.
I've seen stories like this many times, sometimes accompanied by comments from police warning parents not to abandon their children. The problem is so bad that there's a whole movement dedicated to trying to stop or reverse this trend that is making (or has already made) it culturally unacceptable to let kids go anywhere or do anything https://www.freerangekids.com/
Can We Get Everyone Off Smartphones? (corrected)
Can you explain what activities these are? My kids are not high school age yet and I didn't think it was that far gone.
When the job market is bad, these companies will not even slightly hesitate before demanding so much work that you need to put in 10, 20, even 30+ hours per week of unpaid overtime. They want to act like amoral money-extraction engines but they want to be treated like well-behaved moral agents.
> "I thought universities required students be able to read"

Clearly there was a UX/Design issue with the door. A person approaching a door is already thinking about what's on the other side. Maybe the warning needs to be before the door. Or maybe there needs to be a different design to the door. I'd guess that the door looks like every other door they encounter on campus.

Jobs with minimal printed responsibilities pay minimal salaries. In practice, things are quite different.

Indeed! That is the preferred route for basically everyone in the eastern half of Virginia, especially south of Richmond/Charlottesville (I grew up in Lynchburg, went to school at UVA, and my bro-in-law lives in VA Beach). It's waaaaay nicer to drive up Delmarva than I95!
They probably shouldn't be on smartphones to begin with, rather than asking how to get them off smartphones.

Then again I'm not a parent who puts their smartphone in a stand with full-blast volume when dining out so their kids are distracted from... something.
I'm convinced kids who are in team sports end up more well adjusted as adults especially in the smartphone age.

There are parents who don't put there kids in any extracurriculars and then there are parents who have their kids in sports growing up. With team sports at least you force your kids to put down phones/games and work on something that requires team effort and concentration and practice and social skills. Seems entirely underrated.
To turn your argument on it's head: are these types of articles rare because so many kids are out and about un-hassled, or are they so rare because so many people don't let their kids out enough for it to be a common occurrence?

I don't know if one group or another is in the _majority_ or not. I'm also not arguing it isn't still possible for some areas - an area I live some miles away from still has kids out and about - but for a great many people, it's an issue that exists, and it's not an issue that they can easily solve on their own without moving.
