It's a multiple documents interface program (where one main window contains subwindows), a UI style out of fashion since the early days of Windows 95 (IIRC it was Office 97 that switched Office apps from MDI to multiple main windows for example). For some reason Microsoft hasn't updated the theming for them since Windows Vista, probably because it's such a niche thing. Even on Vista / 7, they're stuck as Aero Basic windows, rather than the actually glass ones. The Windows Forms editor in Visual Studio also using those window borders, which shows how much MS cares about that compared to XAML dialect of the week.

The Aero Basic theme is particularly horrible though, I do wonder if that particularly unpleasant shade of cyan for the borders was picked to punish those who didn't activate Windows, or were to poor to afford Home Premium.

In the end it's one of those weird forgotten things, like the Windows 3.x colour picker dialogue that still lurks in a few places like Wordpad (although MS are "solving" that).
Shame it doesn't do regexes so you can control for position in word.

But a search for thorpe (Scunthorpe, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes, farmstead) vs a search for ney (Athelney, Muchelney, Thorney, island) will give you a feel for the influence of Anglo-Saxon vs Old Norse.
Claude is a bit more expensive though, no? I felt like I burned through 5$ worth of credit in one evening, but perhaps it was also because I was using the big-AGI UI and it was producing diagrams for me, often in quintuplicates for some reason. Still, I really like Claude and much more prefer it over others.

Tell us you don't have kids without telling us you don't have kids. Short of totally unplugging your children from broader society via homeschooling, joining a commune, or similar extremes, children are exposed to whatever other children's parents permit through nothing more complicated than their interactions with other kids. An example from pre-digital times would be that one kid who's dad kept a stash of nudie mags unsecured which invariably lead to hushed giggling in the back of the bus.
They're definitely out there. They were just questioning whether it's a smart move to base your commercial endeavour around leaked tools.
Reading up some on the difficulties of laundering money was one of the more interesting topics in the last few years for me, such as this video[1]

It turns into a fascinating business and process problem, since you can only inject a certain percentage of dirty money into a legitimate cash revenue stream. And this in turn means - even if you had infinite dirty income, you end up with a finite amount of money you can launder per month. And marked bills make this a lot harder. And if attention comes to the business it becomes harder.

And that in fact has happened in reality. Some cartels were earning so much dirty money that they couldn't launder it all. And in fact, just storage of the dirty cash became a real logistical issue. And to be honest, "storage of large amounts of illegal cash" hasn't been a problem on my radar so far.

Open source pioneer Perens says it's time to contemplate a post-open world
I had a strong sense of identity, I had good results, a good family life, my parents had my back, etc.. That didn't stop me from being bullied or pissed on while being held down by fucking assholes. So, I'd say, you either don't know what bullying is like or you're overly naive. And by the way, having my parents having my back and telling my teachers about the bullying just made things worse. It only improved when I changed school and punched the first guy who namecalled me.

Anyway, to respond to your points:

> What you’re describing doesn’t sound like parenting to me, it’s giving in to peer pressure.

What I'm describing is knowing how society works and planning around it. It doesn't mean that I would give unrestricted access to social medias, it also doesn't mean that I would not be there to guide my child about how to use them, what the dangers are etc...

I'm saying that straight up abstinence is not a good idea and doesn't work if your child lives in a society that doesn't abstain. There are also perverse effects whereby preventing your child from completely accessing social medias, you end up with a child who just hides it from you.

> If your kid’s peers all gain a liking for drugs or gambling or some other vice and they bully your child for not partaking, are you going to tell your child to participate?

I'd probably consider switching my child to a different school.

I would agree if it weren't for the complete transition to privately owned communication platforms. The answer to your question is actually quite simple: because communication via privately owned walled gardens is humanity's primary means of mass communication, just as it used to be printed media.

It would be as if printing presses were so complicated and expensive that the barrier to entry was so high as to price out everyone but a few select publishers. I wouldn't try to over-extend that metaphor though.

Funnily, in my own anecdotal experience, Claude 3 is in some ways "less woke" than GPT-4

Both start out with a largely similar value system, but if you start arguing with them "how can you be sure your values are correct? is it impossible that you've actually been given the wrong values?", Claude 3 appears more willing to concede the possibility that its own values might be wrong than GPT-4 is
Watching CP and murdering people is in no way comparable to any of those bullet points you made. Generally in the US at least, uniquely among many nations, the principle and constitutional right of the freedom of speech reigns supreme over many, many others, so there is no chance that any of those bullet points would (or should, given such a principle) be regulated.

One can and should be able to espouse those beliefs, regardless of whether they are true or not, because the alternative is much worse, where the rights of such exposition are severely curtailed. Hell, someone got arrested for taunting the Queen in the UK, something that legally cannot happen in the US had a similar person taunted a government official.

> But these are communications platforms. Restricting the right to free speech does have negative consequences...

I take issue with the argument that promoting these social media platforms is tantamount to fostering free speech and denouncing them amounts to eroding this right. No one should expect technology assisted broad cast abilities as part of a doctrine of governments and the State not restricting speech.
>>But it's crazy that a person can get this lost in life and become completely devoid of purpose and meaning.

It worked so well, that alcoholism rates in Sweden are higher than in some countries where the sales of strong alcohol are not a state monopoly. A closer look shows that even the neighboring Scandinavian countries are doing better..

Thanks for saying this. There is such a badge of honour about being some misanthropic hermetic introvert that bandies about online. Some people are more extroverted than others, sure. But interacting with people is vital to human's health both mentally and physically. It's in our DNA. It's not something you can opt out of. And once you expose yourself and get better at it, your life gets better. It's as simple as that. More interaction, more community is objectively better.
Remember, microservices refers to the architecture of people. It is the emulation of the service architecture found in the macro economy (i.e. businesses buying and selling services with each other without any direct coordination), but localized in the micro economy of a single business.

There is a prevailing idea that large organizations do not have the communication capacity for many people to all work together, believing that more people require more meetings to coordinate, which at some point reaches a critical mass where any change requires more meetings than there is time in the day. Teams emulating the macro economy – a world where you can't get Google on the phone no matter how hard you try, where all you get is written documentation – is thought to be the solution to that problem.

So there would be something novel about multiple, disparate teams showing they can all work together under direct coordination while actually getting things done and not get bogged down in endless meetings. But, while the article is light on details, it appears that they actually did stick with a microservices model – creating a copy of Instagram so that the Threads team could provide an independent service without needing to communicate with the Instagram team...

Blink has overwhelming power over the web by this point. People are already mistaking Blink-only APIs for web standards and complaining that other browsers aren’t implementing them. We’re on the cusp of the bad old days of a browser monopoly and Safari is the only real hedge against it. Even Mozilla doesn’t care about Firefox any more.
I think you missed the entire point of the comment above. It's not about iOS vs Android but about not being included socially, regardless of the platform. Imagine in your example where one kid in a group didn't use Discord, they'd be effectively cut off.

You mean to say, with a saw the intent is for it to be a useful tool and the danger is an unintended side effect, while for social media the danger is the intent and it being a useful tool is an unintended side effect.
All of this is nice but none of it stops the style of hack that happened to xz besides the fact that it's very unlikely Dan is going to be bullied into handing over maintainership to someone else.

Every other element on the list can be attacked if the maintainer themselves is the malicious party carrying out the attack and it is being performed with the level of sophistication in the xz attack.

So ya, I'm not saying it's security theater in all contexts, but if the context is the attack vector used in the xz attack, it's security theater.
It really annoys me how many services - even sometimes public services like our local police - are Facebook first, with all other mediums as an afterthought.
I use Feedblocker for all social media and have to say it is a real relief.

This is how I was able to finally finish my PhD.
I'm not sure I really understand this.

If you mean one instance in each pod, then each should be labelled differently and you can filter down to one instance.

If you mean running multiple instances in each pod (and container?), then the standard kubectl log output will also have them all joined together. For both of those, you would need to add another unique identifier to each line, or run each instance in a separate container so you can submit the logs with the pod name and container name combined being the unique identifier.
There's a lively discussion on that thread regarding whether the alleged "pipe gun" is actually a gun (the general agreement seems to be "no") and there are many comments praising his ingenuity.

I wanted to check how Mr. Van Allen is doing these days. From what I can gather he escaped an open prison less than a year into his sentence [1] and is mostly known in the media as "man jailed for stashing homemade gun". He was in the list of Sussex's "most wanted" [2] in 2021, but that's about it.

I wish someone would write a book about his life, but I guess they would have to find him first and I kinda hope they don't.

Depends what you mean by "similar to VB6/Delphi".

The VB6/Delphi era (called at the time RAD for Rapid Application Development) was oriented around proprietary UI and component frameworks. They were planned out a long way in advance and solved a lot of problems up front, but, they were tied to Windows and then you had to buy the dev tools on top.

These days people usually want to write web apps if they aren't doing mobile. The web as a UI framework is basically evolved rather than designed. The features you need to support RAD don't exist. Moreover the web UI community would view them as bad practice!

RAD tools were typified by a few things:

1. A standard way to define components that is statically reflectable (so you can populate property and event editors), and get documentation on the fly, etc.

2. MVC: a standard way to separate code from layout.

3. Layout management that's integrated with the component hierarchy.

4. A standard toolbox of high quality, high effort components.

5. A marketplace for components (which means they need to be distributable in binary form).

The web has none of this and isn't going to any time soon. For example, there's no agreement on how components work. React has one or more different solutions, Web Components is a different one, Vue yet another. MVC has been abandoned: React doesn't know anything about that. Code and layout are intermingled together. JavaScript is dynamically typed, largely reflection-free language. You can't automatically work out what the props are for a React component short of parsing the source code. You can't easily distribute proprietary components either because there's no way to enforce licensing (so a lot of users wouldn't pay, in reality).

And then there's the components. Browsers don't provide good enough components out of the box, unlike Windows-oriented RAD tools, so devs have to invent their own. Then React makes things worse by conflating theming with the component library. The result is that every web app has its own unique set of widgets with its own unique set of limitations and bugs, very few of which ever reach a high quality level. Widget development is expensive, which is why RAD tooling centralized it and supported a marketplace, so devs could amortize out the cost of writing widgets across many projects. The whole React/Jetpack Compose approach basically spurns all of that and says if you want to change the way your app looks you get to redevelop the widgets from scratch. And everyone does want that, so there are floods of duplicated work that's open sourced and then abandoned, but nothing ever gets critical mass.
> But these are communications platforms.

They are mostly advertisement platforms coupled to recommendation engines. The "communication platform" is just side business at this point. And it's being used to wave around as "free speech" when anyone dares to question the detrimental effect of the big mass mind control machine it actually is.
That's not really the cause. As you say, Electron apps don't look native either. The issues are elsewhere.

Because people will not invite you if you are not in the group chat. Unfortunately, people have forgotten how to call and are afraid of receiving calls.

This is more prominent among people who grew up with social media everywhere compared to ones who did not.
I think it's a bit reductionist to say it's devoid of purpose and meaning. Have you asked her what she feels her purpose/meaning is? You can disagree with it (I would as well), but I wouldn't assume she doesn't find any purpose/meaning in it.

If she gets angry about it, then probably there is something deeper going on. Or, you're just asking the wrong way (if you come in assuming there's no meaning/purpose to her life, that could easily happen).

If there's something deeper going on, then social media just amplifies things. Specifically about cosmetics and the beauty industry - people have complained about the effects of supermodels on TV, movies, billboards, magazine ads etc. for more than 30 years, social media has just taken it to the next level.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I do think it's important to add depth to the argument if we actually want to change the world for a better place.
What were the placeholders and laziness? I just ended my prompts with something akin to "give me the full code and nothing else" and ChatGPT does exactly that. How does Claude do any better?
