> I spent too much time on social media and not enough in real life since I was a teenager and I am almost certain that it negatively impacted my mental health

But was social media the issue here or was it that you didn't spend enough time interacting with the real world?

If your point is that social media makes it easier for us to not spend enough time interacting with people in the real world then I'd agree, but I think it's wrong to suggest social media is the primary problem here. The real issue is that kids are spending too much time on their own in doors.

A kid sat in their room watching TV all day and night is probably just as likely to feel depressed and is also likely to struggle socially.

I don't have kids and if I did I wouldn't give them smart phones, but I'd much rather them have smart phones and social media access so long as they had "normal" social lives and were taking part in after school activities where they were playing and interacting with other kids in the real world.

Just taking a kid's phone and replacing their addiction to Tiktok with Netflix probably isn't going to help them become socially well adjusted individuals. Where I agree strongly with Haidt is that kids today need to interact more with other children in the real world, and importantly they also need to learn how to deal with difficult social situations on their own.

For years now there's been an increasing number of children / teens that sit at home doing nothing but scrolling social media and playing video games. In the past it was the geeky guys that we mocked for never leaving their "mum's basement" who were dealing with these mental health issues, but now that we have smart phones and popular social apps a similar kind of thing seems to be impacting teen girls.

I don't think we really disagree though to be honest. I think you're just incorrectly attributing the blame primarily to social media, when I'd argue it's the lack of real world interaction which could be related to social media use, but we've seen other iterations of similar things in recent years such as dudes spending too much time in their mums basement or "Hikikomori" syndrome in Japan. What's always true is that kids need to get out the house and spend more time interacting with real people / children.
It's my understanding that there is significant social pressure to vote this way in these communities.
> This is a pretty bad index: it has words that should be stop words, like function, and won’t split a.toString() into two tokens because . is not a default word boundary.

So github used to (maybe still does) "fix" this one and it's annoying. Although github are ramping up their IDE like find-usages, it's still not perfect, so somethings you just want to a text search equivalent for "foo.bar()" for all the uses it misses and this stemming behaviour then finds every while where foo and bar are mentioned which bloats results.

The short answer is context. The reason why Google's internal code search is so good, is it is tied into their build system. This means, when you search, you know exactly what files to consider. Without context, you are making an educated guess, with regards to what files to consider.

Because fsspec handles the extensions directly, Foozle does not have to opt in to get the csvbase:// support, all that's required is for the csvbase Python client to be installed. So users of Foozle might start depending on these extensions without Foozle ever finding out about it.

But I guess that's the reality of making libraries, even bugs will be relied on, we really don't have any methods for evolving software ecosystems reliably and compatibly.

Nah, that's no longer universally true. Pretty sure the Sage and Elipsa use soldered eMMC storage instead of micro SD.

It's totally possible that there was a ton of bloat. It happens when organizations scale and they're looking for market share instead of profitability. But, as someone who has worked in (bio)tech companies that got purchased, first they cut 20-30% of the staff, but that doesn't mean all the work they were doing went away, and it means key people in every role have to do more, which works for a minute, then management thinks "we're right, it was all fat", until those key people burn out and stop producing. Then you end up hiring 10-15% of the staff back. Or, the org slowly dies.
This is the classic "oh I was only borrowing it / gonna give that back" excuse of thieves who got caught with new window dressing.
That's right, there's no debate, except on the rarest of occasions. It's actually an odd feeling whenever some discussion with divergent opinions ends amicably.
Are you seriously telling me that a sport that allows elbow and knee strikes to the head has become more dangerous because they reduced the weight of the gloves? Have you thought about this for a second?

And the mention of your "untrained" friend being unable to enjoy a traditional Muay Thai fight the way _you_ can just reeks of some kind of odd elitism. My guess is you saw a topic about fighting on HN and couldn't wait to tell us all that you trained.
Probably just a ploy to privatize the whole thing. Nothing to see here, move along.
You’re not gonna get injured in most unless you spar very hard or go to a bad gym or sign up for amateur fights. I’ve done Muay Thai for around 5 years total and got hit in the head hard maybe three times. Hard like 50% power - never a 100%

The animations make it very intuitive to understand what's happening. Once you get that it's trivial to turn that into a parametric formula (`x(t)` and `y(t)`, not `f(x)`) to calculate all the points along the curve.

Start by understanding quadratic beziers, they're pretty straightforward. Then when you move to cubic ones realize that it's just adding one more level of interpolation.

The hurdle for me was realizing that it's impossible to calculate the corresponding y position given the x position for all 2d curves, because there may be multiple y positions. Instead think of it as little steps that get you from the beginning to the end.

Who are "the folks at the top"? Transit agency executives in California make less than software engineers (though if you put in your time, you get a nice pension to make up for it) - how are these people getting rich? If you mean the politicians, sure, I've already said they're half the problem.

Sorry, I don't buy it. By the time you get to the point where you're doing the accounting for an F500 company you have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the conventional way of doing things. That doesn't mean that the conventional way isn't deeply flawed. It's kind of like the use of British units in the USA rather than metric. You have 350 million people who are thoroughly comfortable with miles and feet and inches and gallons and whatnot, but that doesn't mean that metric isn't objectively superior.

Agreed, I probably should have emphasized branching off of that too. Another component that slipped my mind, is taking those setting specific friendships outside their context. If you can't do that, it's probably worth spending more time on one's you can; not actively distancing yourself from them, but if you can't talk to them outside that one building, it might be difficult to build something more meaningful, or it may be a sign they're just not into you.
You do realize that RT greatly simplifies the job artists and engineers have to do to make a scene look well lit? The only reason it's done twice currently is because GPUs aren't powerful enough yet. RT will simplify game production.
The title was too long to fit in, but the full title reads:
"Windows 11 will block updates if you have certain apps installed — here’s how to avoid it"

Microsoft cites "security and performance concerns" around these applications as reasons to block windows updates, which doesn't make sense to me. For example one of the apps they're blocking is StartAllBack (https://www.startallback.com/), which restores a clean functional classic start menu instead of the new one where Microsoft pushes ads. This just seems like another anti-consumer anti-competitive practice.

For now, this is the workaround:

Uninstall the software

Update Windows 11

Download the software

Before installing, change the name of the installer executable file which is typicall something like softwarename.exe and can be found in your downloads folder

Install the software from the renamed .exe file

Neither of those look like they have a generative AI component.

We (as a society) desperately need a way to train these models in a federated, distributed manner. I would be more than happy to commit some of my own compute to training open audio / text / image / you-name-it models.

But (if I understand correctly) the current architecture makes this if not impossible, nearly so.
> You see, there’s more than one way that people expect type-to-search to work. In one pattern, you type the first letter of the thing you want, and the system finds the first item that starts with that letter. If that’s not the one you want, you press that same letter again, and the system finds the second item that starts with that letter. Keep pressing that same letter until you get to the item you want.

What! This is crazy! There can't be that many people who expect type-to-search to work that way.

Tools like statistical significance and correlation. These tools were developed by a known eugenicist R.A. Fisher to compare populations which is what Levitt and Donohue use here. Their table referencing Reyes work to tease out Lead and show abortion has more statistical significance uses the EXACT TOOLS that Fisher would use. These are tools used by charlatans who pushed IQ and other complete quack ideas on the general population.

All you have to do is study the mathematics to understand why. For example, why use correlation at all here? Correlation assumes a LINEAR relationship. No such justification is made in their paper of why a linear relationship should exist here.

Those pushing things like correlation to IQ have the same problem as IQ is a non-linear relationship. Are these ideas appropriate to other problems? Yes, correlation and statistical significance are useful tools when applied to the right problems. But they are not appropriate here.

Unfortunately most have a basic course in statistics and have no knowledge about the history of these tools. So they get convinced by charlatans who wow them with statistics.

Statistics are great tools to lie with because so few people understand what things like 'correlation' mean and things like statistical significance. So they see papers like this and get wowed.

Here is a good article from Nature about Fisher and his history on eugenics. (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41437-020-00394-6)

In other words, justifying abortion as a way to control crime is disgusting and you can thread the needle from eugenics to Levitt and Donahue. Abortion should be justified on it's merits of reducing suffering of women, not some way to reduce crime.
> …you can do all this with just FFMPEG, but now you have to wade through all the docs, flags, values to craft your CLI args with a bit of trial and error. The value add here is a coherent front-end that abstracts away all the complexity and lets you cut right to what you want.

Very true, but just want to note that ChatGPT is also great at creating CLI input for ffmpeg, yt-dlp, etc. And of course, Handbrake remains the O.G. for open source, cross-platform video encoding.
> The videos the Tesla influencer community point to are earlier videos that did not have sufficient clarity yet to disprove their lies so they thought they would not get caught

Haven't kept up with the drama in a while, but to my understanding the issue people took with the Dawn Project's initial video was not that it lacked clarity - but that it had the clarity to see that FSD was not engaged.[0]

Could be explained, such as if the Dawn Project did the tests legitimately and then went back to capture footage for the ad, but I wouldn't assign so much malice ("unrepentant liars who will fabricate whatever is convenient as long as they think they can not get caught") to people pointing it out.

Google builds all the code in its momnorepo continuously, and the built artifacts are available for the search. Open source tools are never going to incur the cost of actually building all the code it indexes.

It’s likely all online and all multiple choice.

My (insert large financial company) has mandatory testing too, and there are no strict examination conditions. But nobody cheats.

There is no real consequence if you fail, you just resit it again. At worst you might have to brute force it.
The other missing cost is losing client business. How do clients see the fraud and still trust KPMG? Do you want to hire someone who can't even pass the accreditation test? An organization that tries to pass them off to you?

It is silly to speculating about the results of bacteria somehow limiting or compensating for their excess O2 production, especially since there could be many ways it could have been done (not necessarily limiting, but evolving CO2 or CH4 producing species to counterbalance, etc.). Such speculations could just as easily conclude that we could have evolved a billion years earlier if they'd "done something", and we'd now be 1000x as mature a species.

Even if we make your assumption that humans are somehow entitled to do whatever we want, it is massively stupid to ignore the fact that we depend on an extremely complex web of life to survive. We can break some links, but breaking too many will literally be suicidal.

When we see that we are doing something that WILL inevitably break many of those links (not to mention flood most of our major cities in decades, which is already happening), the only wise thing to do is to adjust course to prevent that destruction.

Yet you seem to think it is a good idea to spread ignorance and stupidity. That way is guaranteed to NOT advance even humanity's self-centered interests. Do you have some fetish about burning hydrocarbons or some religion that makes it sacred?

Definitely, it’s an industry-wide ailment caused by a focus on the web and neophyte users.

What your describing isn't anything to do with what we traditionally consider forgiveness - either in Western or Eastern traditions of spirituality, or contemporary psychotherapy.

You're describing self protection. Which is an important set of skills for resilience and harm prevention, but has little to nothing to do with forgiveness. I'm afraid you're editorialising by creating a straw man rape victim argument. Just to be clear - although this is not the topic under discussion - I support rape victims attempts to obtain justice through the criminal justice system. And obviously agree that no one should stay in a situation where physical or sexual violence is threatened or likely.

To be clear I'm not advising people to allow themselves to continue to be harmed. I'm not engaging in prescriptive advice at all. Rather I'm describing the process of overcoming the pain of emotional (and sometimes physical) trauma.

Forgiveness is not about any of the above. It's about moving on (internally) from continual retraumatisation - after the source of trauma is no longer present. It's an internal emotional process for the most part. But one that cannot begin until the person engaging in it is physically and emotionally safe.
Haha not the same. This is a honeypot.
Hound has made an interesting choice to not bound searches. https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=test&files=&exclude... produces an ajax request that (for me) took 13s to produce a 55MB JSON response, and then takes many more seconds to render into the DOM.

Personally I get very worried reading statements like "AI will never be able to do X", because they seem like obviously false statements. I think if one asserts AI will never be able to do a thing a human brain can do, that needs to be proven, rather than the other way around. For example, if we could reverse engineer the entire human neurology and build an artificial replica of it, why wouldn't we expect it to be able to do everything exactly as a human?
