I agree about more specific definitions of what is being referred to in discussions under the umbrella term 'social media', particularly given those pushing for regulation.

A couple things that stand out in discussions about social media negative consequences are: service-led algorithms and UX which actively fuel addictive patterns, an emphasis on a single and often IRL identity (Zuckerberg famously saying there should only be a single user identity[1]) and audience reach which is far too broad for various content.

On Discord people often become familiar with other users via their pseudonymous handles, even sharing IRL details as they're comfortable. However a few things help with this: no leaderboard-style gamification of posts like there is with Twitter or Reddit, chat is inherently lower stakes and the scope is limited to that community not the wider internet.

Traditional forums are interesting since I know various who were addicted but in a user-led rather than service-led way (ie: they've been addicted through habit of non-gamified checking of content/participation). Even expressing having anxiety posting threads due to the expectations of peers. However the benefit is still an awareness that the primary audience is mostly an in-group of (mostly friendly) peers. Whereas on Twitter for example, a user may say something for a specific intended audience but someone in bad faith re-contextualizes it and initiates dogpiling—which is an inevitability of almost any community but for sites with such broad scope is extremely difficult to moderate.

Like you mentioned, on Reddit there is almost zero emphasis on the user, whether as an OP or commenter, so there's much less interpersonal community building but OTOH much easier distancing from self 'performance'/anxiety.

I understand what you're saying, but that's not how life works. If a person has no anchor and they deliberately avoid establishing that anchor in their lives, then how do you expect them to stay stable when going gets tough? I have to respect her as a person first and foremost, and I cannot enforce my own thoughts/ideas because I think that is what's best for her.

She needs to find it for herself, and then establish that as her anchor. If it is cosmetics, then so be it. I have no gripe with that. What I do have a gripe with is reluctancy to be a functional human being and engaging with your family and friends.

As I said in another comment, I offered to help her to do stuff online on multiple occasions. But she can't even accept that, or come to terms with it. Hypothetically, that might also mean she knows that perhaps it's not what she truly wants for herself, as far as building a life (anchor) around it.

I'm not detached, and neither is anyone in my family.
Yes, it looks like many (most) people there don't understand copyright law or the contract law of contribution licensing. It looks like that to some, freedom means their ability to control others. They keep using the word "freedonm" but I don't think the word means what they think it means.

Also, they don't mention the mandatory CLA of all FSF projects, the grandparent of all free software.

Depends on where you live and maybe for how long. For me for example, I live in the city in an apartment. I go out in the morning to buy bread. It is 50% likely I will meet someone from my neighborhood and chat for a minute or just say hi.

If I really want to chat a little, I will go to one of the other small shops next to me and buy a beer/coffee and talk with the owner or whoever is outside the store.

Because I work from home most of my friends are at work during the day. But come evening and you can hang out for at least an hour, with someone you know, every single day if you want. There is no planning, you just go to the places you know people hang out, and they will be there. And if you don't want to talk much, you can just listen.

I feel I am blessed to have this because I was an expat for some years and you don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore.

An acre in the mediocre parts of Palo Alto is ten million, an acre near anywhere it makes sense to put a 50+ storey building in SF is much closer to 100 million.

Plus at most only about 2/3 of the floor plate is saleable square footage.

So $300,000 of land cost per 2000 sq ft condo.

Realtor fees, taxes, surcharges, local improvement fees, etc., and everything else legally mandated is another $250k on top. Builder overhead, insurance, interest on the bank loan, a margin for delays, etc., is at least another $200k.

So even if construction cost was zero and the zoning process flawlessly smooth, the builder would need to charge at least $750k per unit to break even.

Even if land cost was zero as well, it would still be at least $450k per unit to break even.
Stars are basically the Github equivalent to Facebook likes. They have no real value, and they're definitely not a review.

> Good TWS headphones are better than the vast majority of wired headphones.

Even not so good TWS headphones are more expensive than pretty good wired headphones.

> Sony's headphones have lossless Bluetooth, and so do Samsung's

Unlike Bluetooth which you have to pray to god that it will pick the best codec, wired connection is already lossless.

> there really is no technical reason why bluetooth headphones have to sound any worse than wired headphones.

... until you enable microphone, then it turns into a potato 16kHz mono stream. A successor codec was only finalized in Bluetooth 5.2 and I don't believe there are major earbuds that support LC3 yet.
I heard they switched to fully use a recommending system for search (don't know how it works today but feels like that's still the case), which means there is there is no real search happening and you query is used as a hint, not a search query (which relativeness matters more).

At that time PDD is promoting the idea you buy what they think you will buy. PDD's search is barely functioning at that time and their bussiness model is solely relying on recommending system.

Though I'm not sure how much Alibaba's decision is affected by PDD because the story I heard is more driven by their internal politics. I feel like that's really a weird product decision for Alibaba and to me doesn't make a lot of sense.

Configuration management tools are excellent at managing applications and configs. Who knew.

Something else to suggest: systemd timers. At a glance info for scheduling of the job, instead of inferred from logs that may or may not have been recorded. You can also then actually declare your deployment needs networking.

The title is a little misleading. The post makes an analogy between a turing machine and a transformer and and expands on that analogy a bit.

Neither of those are common, or practical.

First, decoy recorders are extremely rare, and never really recommended. Most higher-end systems are using software on a PC for the video recording, not a little NVR appliance anyway. In that case your recorder can be any random PC, potentially even hidden in plain sight.

Real time offsite backups is usually not practical for reasons of upstream bandwidth limitations. A common camera can easily produce a bitstream of 2+Mbps. Get a dozen of those going, and you're bumping up against the upstream bandwidth limit of cable internet providers in the US. If you have the bandwidth for realtime offsite backups, then you can skip the on-site NVR/recorder and go with a full cloud solution like Eagle Eye (this will have a small onsite PC that acts as a buffer so that if you have a short outage of a few hours, or congestion, you don't lose video).

Hi everyone!

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a side-project called SapiensLink, and it’s now available online for free! https://sapienslink.com/

What is SapiensLink?

Some of the most engaging content on platforms like LinkedIn/Twitter are threads/lists where users share how to master a certain topic. Would it be great to have a platform where people could simply search curated lists of free content available on the web to master a certain topic?

If you’d like to try the platform, I’d be happy to hear your feedback.

From the apnews.com link:

PFAS is a broad family of chemical substances, and the new rule sets strict limits on two common types — called PFOA and PFOS — at 4 parts per trillion.

Three other types that include GenEx Chemicals that are a major problem in North Carolina are limited to 10 parts per trillion. Water providers will have to test for these PFAS chemicals and tell the public when levels are too high. Combinations of some PFAS types will be limited, too.

From a 2024 Guardian article:

Australia among hotspots for toxic ‘forever chemicals’, study of PFAS levels finds

Australia’s PFOA limit is 560 nanograms per litre, while PFOS and PFHxS is limited to 70n/gl. Canada limits all PFAS to 30 ng/l, and the US limits PFOS and PFOA to four ng/l.

“Australia has much higher limits than the US, but the question is why,” O’Carroll said. “Both health bodies would have different reasoning for that, and there’s not a really strong consensus here.”

Both. It's a feedback loop keeping her in place. Like with many (all?) addictions, you get stuck in a situation where the same activity makes your situation worse and provides a short-term reprieve from immediate consequences. You take a hit to briefly fix the accumulated damage from all the previous hits.
> She doesn't share her actual thoughts

That's where social media has been most damaging. You can't share your thoughts anymore. The 'Redditization' of the world means that sharing thoughts is met with hostility. No longer can you just throw something out there, no matter how stupid. These days you have carry an entire encyclopedia with you in order to back up every last thing you say and if you utter anything that isn't deemed 100% perfect by those listening, the social scorn will fall upon you.

> It's bizarre.

Is it, though? Once you've felt said social scorn enough you no longer see words as a way to make friends, so turning to beauty is the natural progression. People like to be around beautiful people – or at least so it appears to those looking from the outside in, right? If that doesn't work, then you can easily fall into a cycle of thinking "maybe this next surgery is the one that will make me beautiful enough!"
Tobacco regulation is actually something I don't see people talked often. Some seem to have restricted it and succeed, or failed. Some seems to let it go and succeed, or failed. It's seemingly less sexy than either alcohol or marijuana, maybe because USA is one example where they just let cigarettes go and succeed anyway.

My country is an example where it failed anyway. Whether we are considered to have tried regulating it or not is a bit complicated.
Yeah this is to make it work for 3.5, because cost is a factor.
My 2 advices(one is kind of not line with this guide, one kind of is):

1. Do not be scared of debt - If you have access to an asset that carries positively(i.e it makes more than it costs to own it plus finance it) you should max out the leverage. If you were debt free last 10 years you missed out on a lot of money(because the cost of carry was so low since 2010). Dave Ramsey (and his analogues) did an incredible amount of damage with his stupid anti debt positions.

2. Stock market is not for poor people- The reason why rich people like the stock market is that it essentially has infinite capacity and it is a way for them to diversify from their main activity. It can return 7% from a capital base of 100 million in the exact same way as from a capital base of 1 billion. You, if you are not rich, likely have access to opportunities that require 10-100k of capital and can generate very high returns with not as much risk as the stock market, but require you to keep your finger on the pulse of your industry and be ready to be a bit active. These opportunities disappear as your capital grows higher. Bogleheading is easier and takes no work but it is MUCH less money and slows down your journey a lot. You should stay away from stocks unless 1) You have a specific stock you want to buy based on your industry/professional knowledge 2) You maxed out the capacity of your non-stock "cashcow".
Tried it out, very well done! Will use it for sure, it's quicker than having to open CapCut.
> But this isn't a problem. If 1.0.0 is a finished product then why do you ever need to move to 2.0.0 if you don't need the new features?

Fair point, I assume (from personal experience at the places I've worked at) that updating the library is inevitable and doing so at a later date tends to be more painful than doing these migrations all at one.

> It isn't a feature of the monorepo because you can still diverge by copying, forking or merely stopping support for the old library and this becomes more and more necessary at scale

This is a problem if all the projects in the monorepo are not actually related. But imagine if all these subprojects are bundled as one OS image, in that case it is very rare that you want multiple library version.

At very large scale I can see your point, I don't have experience there so I can't really argue.
The restriction that this freedom is supposed to save you from is that of prosecution. Nobody is promising everyone a megaphone.
