That's perfectly fair. In my own case, blogging has changed how I conduct my hobbies, for the better. They say you don't understand something until you have to explain it to someone else. It has made my projects more robust, and often simpler, and the process has helped me uncover mistakes. I'm not sure that it has actually come with a cost. The mechanics are trivial thanks to GitHub and of course Git.
> Sweden thereby joined a unique club of nations – which includes Switzerland, Ukraine and South Africa – who gave up their nuclear weapons programmes and showed the world that nuclear disarmament was possible.

I bet Ukraine is regretting their decision right now.
I honestly watch almost all his videos but I was kind of surprised on how he handled the Humane AI pin. He basically shit on it for not being perfect. Remember, this is a product in a NEW CATEGORY. Of course it is not going to be perfect. But saying it is the WORST PRODUCT EVAH, is really shitty and way in the clouds (not down to earth).

Anyway, I will continue to watch his videos because they are informative and entertaining. Of course I will decide for myself on what I buy and why, because I have a brain and my own agency AND can assess things using my own logic and values.

And please don't tell me you don't notice how a sweetheart he is to Apple and Tesla...

They and the startup seemed to give classic cringe wannabe Steve Jobs vibe. Its not very uncommon to find such people at Apple. They often miss the most the important thing that Jobs was good at, i.e. making things that are actually useful and does its job much better than anything else out there.

This is one of the most pointless products out there that is being marketed with the confidence based on I don't know what.
"This is a US teenager". Wouldn't be hard to add that right? We're not all american on the internet.
It is possible to have integrity. And if you show that for a long time, people notice and start to value your opinion.
The goal wasn’t really to make a profit so no, definitely not like the NYT. And that might be the demise, had they done something like NPR one much sooner with direct subscriptions it might have been easier to make it work.

I hope they survive though, hard to find content with the same quality and consistency elsewhere.
Nice! Couldn't agree more!
The guy behind StumbleUpon still seems to be doing things in that area.

I'm not sure what went wrong with StumbleUpon; it worked well from the user end of things.
Wasn't this a retaliation to the killings Israel and the US did of it's people?

Also, I am keeping military leaders aside. I think most would agree that they sign up for a level of targeting civilians should be exempt from.
>still no way to remap Ctrl+T to open a new tab in the current container context

A quick search found me this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-container..., using Alt+C. There are other similar addons too.

I'll assume given the solution was pretty easy to find, your issue must be with the inability to repurpose Ctrl+T...
I agree with most of the criticisms regarding NPR's decline, but totally disagree with the idea that it's at all comparable to the Gemini situation. NPR is deliberately pushing an editorial agenda, not a product that they immediately took offline because it was performing poorly.

Every diffusion image model produces all kinds of arbitrarily bizarre behavior, this particular permutation just happened to catch fire in the media because it's culture war tinder. The idea that Google leaders thought it was "a good idea" to generate black Nazis and native American founding fathers is a caricature.
I think also part of what makes it so bad is the mismatch between expectations, price, marketing, and reality. If you bought a pair of $10 headphones from ebay and they suck, it's not shocking.

But when you have a $700 device, with hundreds of millions in funding, and a ton of marketing about it being the smartphone killer and the future of computing, yet the device is total junk, that makes it worse in a way than other junk marketed as junk.
True, this is the experiment they did in the original paper:

> Eighty-five older individuals [41M/44F, age = 68 ± 4 yr; body mass index (BMI) = 26.4 ± 3.7 kg/m2] had one leg randomly allocated to a single (1)-set and the contralateral leg allocated to four sets of unilateral knee-extension RT at 8-15 repetition maximum (RM) for 10-wk 2 days/wk. Pre- and postintervention, participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and unilateral knee-extension 1-RM strength testing.

Which, okay, it's old people who will get fatigued quickly and their recovery will be worse. Looks like some of them got tired and didn't recover well, while for others more sets were better because they recovered well, so when averaging those out this result is seems pretty believable, but I wouldn't generalize it to everyone.

My takeaway is if you get really exhausted/tired lifting, and you're doing 5 sets of 5 reps or 3 sets of 5 like you did when you were younger, maybe try 1 set of 5 instead, and you might find you recover better for the next lifting session. I personally have gone from 5 sets to 3 sets of my max weight a while ago because of exhaustion.
I see it get discussed all the time.

Where & how do you think it should be discussed that it isn't currently being discussed?

Here's are some NYTimes articles about it that are all pretty recent, for example.

The short answer is horniness. They are hoping to get some. And indeed, as I understand it, they've received what they think are explicit photos of someone else, so they believe they are in a reciprocal context.

If people were all that good at being rational about safety in the face of possible sexytimes, it's true this wouldn't happen. And we wouldn't have STDs or unintended pregnancies, either. But as the man says, life finds a way.

I see, I guess that makes sense in theory.
I recall hearing an NPR piece in the past couple months that was discussing how best to handle reparations for slavery. The entire piece clearly came from the conceit that reparations would be good and desirable. All of the expert interviewees supported and spoke favorably of reparations with no counterpoints, the few opponents were extemporaneous "man on the street" interviews. The end effect was an one sided piece almost contemptuously disregarding any opposition. Certainly not a convincing message to the 68% of US adults (including 49% of Democrats) that don't support reparations.

More than the staking a clear political position on the matter, it was the presumption and condescension that was the most off-putting. Far too often their pieces have adopted that tone. With the "right-thinking" guest or guests interviewed by the "right-thinking" host about a issue clearly the listener would agree with too... if they are "right-thinking."
At that point it takes such a team that you might as well bring production in house. There's inherent trust in your supplier when you outsource.
> I think it’s more that we routinely see very poor and mentally ill people in the US get zero support?

The state of California alone has spent $24,000,000,000 on homelessness in the last 5 years. The government spends about $50,000 per homeless person. See: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homeles...

You can certainly argue that the support they're being given isn't working, but it's very far from zero support.
You seem to be correct about the studio/theater bit, but Comcast owns both NBC and Xfinity, so clearly that bit of intended separation ain't working.
I canceled prime earlier this year when they announced ads in prime video, which I rarely used but seemed like a red flag. I'd lost trust in them for consumable products long ago.

I've saved a good deal of money, and waiting a couple extra days for delivery has only been a minor inconvenience .

I had the same thought a couple weeks ago regarding direct-from-manufactuerer product search / purchase. I'd use it regularly.
Not OP, but I've had a couple of pretty awful NDEs, and in my case, at least, while the euphoria fades after a few days to a week, each one genuinely did seem to reset my anxiety baseline to a lower level. Things that had bothered me 7/10 became 5/10, tops, and that has persisted across years. I would be very happy to have not had those experiences in the first place, but the silver lining is real.
I don't see that it helps, since the task is symmetrical. Whichever arm takes it off has to give it to the other arm at some point so both sides of the hanger are used, and it needs to be given back either before or after doing the hanging so the hanger's hook is back on the outside (facing away from the arm holding it), before replacing it on the rack.

Would be interesting to know if the AI figured this out (the hard way, I'm sure).
In the 1970's and '80's, Pascal actually was commonly used for real work.
The single most powerful thing we’ve done is encourage our kids’ interest and allow the other things to slide. One of my kids gets near perfect grades in everything in a competitive honors college. One is years beyond their grade. Another is taking extraordinary risks to pursue their career.

If you are working with children who have strong intellectual capacity, you diminish it by treating learning as a grind.

If they don’t have it, they need a very clear motivator to grind through what they will never excel at.

Either way, Maria Montessori’s advice to “follow the child” is the most powerful and unique choice you can make.

If you ever find yourself asking (or discussing with teachers/staff) “How do I motivate my child?” then you’ve already steered off the path.

The only sustainable motivation is intrinsic. Children’s motivations radically change over their development.

Reading up on normative childhood development can be very helpful as a parent. You’ll learn that at every age there are skills your child just isn’t ready to develop, even though they will need to later, and there are ones that are worth supporting them in developing. Regression is normal. Rebuilding previously developed skills is normal.

It’s disorienting, scary, and occasionally marvelous.
So I thought I had known most of that material, but I had somehow missed the entire thing about the mother-of-all-short-squeezes being a global financial apocalypse that brings down the entire system...

Which actually raises the interesting question: just how can you even entertain a belief that you'd somehow leverage billion-dollar profits in such a situation? I mean, I know it's completely divorced from reality. I can understand the appeal of the conspiracy theory, I can understand how they think they've found the one loophole that makes infinite money, I can understand the proof-by-contortionist-decoding-of-secret-messages. But not how you can even seriously think, in a world where you found the thread that will let you pull one over the big guys in a serious way, that the government--the people whom you believe to be colluding with the Big Them™ to screw you over--will willingly be held hostage by you in the grand climax and let you extort great gains rather than changing the rules of the game (which is literally their job). I mean, in standard apocalyptic literature, it's the role of God--a higher power not subject to the observable rules of the game--who plays the role of wreaking the final vengeance and rewarding the pious faithful; but here, in this theory, it's the bad guys who are supposed to wreak vengeance against themselves and reward their enemies for being faithful to the higher script.

The other thing is I think the video is still a bit premature; it was written soon after the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond, so it doesn't have much to go on for how the movement evolved afterwards, and I would have liked to learn more about that.
Right now they segment plans based on video throttling. Once Net Neutrality is gone they could just “deprioritize” all non-sponsored traffic into oblivion. Then treat any encrypted traffic the same way since they wouldn’t be able to confirm sponsorship status via DPI.

I agree. One piece of advice I like to give is, "Change only the one worst thing." Figure out what you (or, preferably, your users) hate most. Change only that one thing. Wash, rinse, repeat.

This is probably the smallest possible advantage of rich people you could have found to complain about.
Studies of identical twins raised apart, like MISTRA, show remarkable similarities in life outcomes and big five personality traits. There's a big genetic component, and the time spent with parents is dwarfed by time spent with others once they start school, so the role of parenting style on life outcomes would have to have a significant outsized effect compared to all other life experiences.

If I recall correctly, absent neglect or abuse, parental influence doesn't matter as much as people think.
Absolutely! This product is building a NEW CATEGORY, of course it is not going to be perfect on first itteration.
Yes, although people have been doing marketdata networks the way I said above using IP multicast for at least 20 years now, so in general they choose protocols and network architectures carefully to minimise problems. You do see problems from time to time but they are somewhat rare. Some of the restrictions are interesting. For example IP multicast was basically completely banned on the trading floor where I worked except for marketdata, because of an IP multicast snafu from some random application that took out the whole network once.

One thing to realise about marketdata specifically is it's really different from other low-latency situations most people are familiar with (netcode in a game for example). As I mentioned before, it's not that big a deal generally to miss a few packets - the thing that is a big deal is to make decisions based on stale data. So you're not generally trying to reconstruct the full state after a drop- you just want the freshest current packet as fast as possible. If/when you need to reconstruct state you can make specific requests if needed.
I'm not suggesting it is a good idea, it was just to illustrate the difference. He did learn grammar and went to university.

I agree with this, and I should have mentioned structure.
> Alas, the US presents a false dilemma here: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_middle_housing

That's beside the point. Nobody is going to rebuild the entire US for better Internet.

> Yes, and that's great. The density of cells goes up with the density of people.

The problem here is the same. If you can get connectivity very close to consumers, you might as well just provide fiber to home.

> The free government wifi we get here in many train stations and hawker centres regularly gives me 50 Mbps (on fast.com), and I never got less than 10 Mbps.

See? Free handouts from government, not multiple competing providers.

> Singtel advertises that they have Gigabit mobile, and that's on 4G technology. 5G is going to be faster.

4G peaks at 100mbps per channel, you can use multiple channels for about 500mbps in total. But that's shared across _all_ users. 5G has better efficiency, so you can get about 2gbps in total for low-frequency (i.e. actually useful) bands.

That's why "1Gbps" mobile Internet borders on false advertising. You _can_ get that speed, but only if all the stars align. It also won't be super-reliable.

> Interesting. How do they get the water to you?

Tanker trucks. It is usually cheaper than municipal water sources because pool filling companies can reuse the water. They also don't need to purify it to drinking water standards (in fact, they can _not_, pool water has to contain fairly high levels of chlorine).
I’d encourage you to read up on the radical change in Boeings management philosophy over the last decade.

They were an engineering culture. Their CEO led a deliberate campaign to drive senior engineers out of the company. It worked.

I don’t know a single company that has recovered from it, 16 quarters or otherwise.
It’s a horrible fear. When my eight year old was an infant (four months old), a second cousin (semi distant family member) drowned in a pool at a family gathering. My son’s mom and I (both former lifeguards) put him in infant swim classes immediately. Teaching him the habit of turning to breathe and finding the edge of a pool, along with simple comfort in water, served as an immense comfort. Now I’m faced with his confidence in water that can surprise even the best swimmers (oceans, rivers), so there’s one more parental fear… of course.

Every child should at least learn how to float, front crawl, and backstroke. There’s just too much water in our world to have it be a death sentence.
Sure, but less personal reading is a good thing for the public. For example, speed limits make it clear how fast you can go, requiring something exceptional for an officer to stop you, and acting as protection if they do [1]. Similarly, this makes it clear that they can't threaten you with claims of interference, beyond this distance, unless you're doing something exceptional.

Which one(s) and why?

A few months in the factory is nothing compared to your entire life. Stories are no substitutes for experience. Those who go on to get degrees and nice jobs would also benefit from the experience.

Sunday school because if you are sufficiently behind on the material you will never catch up. Never is a long time.

Getting the parents to show up and explain why the grades are bad will force them to consider why that is. I had lots of friends with parents who absolutely loved them but couldn't be any less interested in grades.

I appreciate how anecdotal this all is. How do you see it?
> And how exactly is a local cop in the US supposed to enforce the law against someone who (both legally and physically) is a resident of a country on the other side of the globe (Nigeria)?
> Asking because that’s the situation the article in the OP is talking about, and I don’t see how any of what you said applies to it.

The perpetrator I am thinking of was a foreign national, but was a student in the USA, attending a US university.

The problem is law enforcement.
Wow!! Thank you so much. I had no idea this existed and it’s so fun.
> It would be absurd to have a wave of umpteen “new packages”—with new names!—for effectively a single breaking change reflected through that chain.

Why? That's the practical effect of cascading breaking changes through the dependency tree anyway. I can't substitute the old thing with the new thing, so why not just give the new thing a new name? But you usually don't need to cascade these things: if my library internally shifts from libfoo3 to incompatible libfoo4 and libfoo isn't part of my library's interface, why would I have to cascade the libfoo3 -> libfoo4 change as a breaking change to my consumers?

> Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy

Medical debt for non-elective treatment feels barbaric, although digging into the figures (2m personal bankruptcies a year, 60% medical) gives 0.3% of the US population declaring medical bankruptcy a year, possibly going up to 1% if you do fancier maths involving households vs people.
Your comment seems to contradict itself. Freedom of association is constitutionally protected... but it's ok to strip it away if someone is subject to anti-trust action?

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I do live in the US, and unenforceable/illegal contract provisions are pretty common. What is fundamentally different between banning non-compete agreements, and banning exclusivity clauses?

Also I feel like you kinda have it backwards: an exclusivity clause restricts someone's freedom of association. While that's not automatically illegal (since 1A only applies to the government), exclusivity agreements like the ones we're talking about go against the spirit of the idea of freedom of association.

So yes, I'm totally fine with banning exclusivity clauses in contracts (maybe not in all cases; I'm sure there are times when they might be appropriate), and I don't think there's really any conflict with 1A. IANAL, of course.

Yeah, I’m looking at you Signal for iOS. Why would a service that is so concerned about privacy keep prompting me to allow access to (import) my contacts and not provide any way to say ‘no’ other than clicking ‘Not now’. It’s like they’re hoping I’ll eventually accidentally pick the wrong button.
Whose fault it is is irrelevant. What is relevant is consequences. Folks are responsible for consequences of their decisions.

Drawing a line between those producing AI output and those consuming AI output is entirely arbitrary. Those producing AI content have a responsibility too. That's just basic human decency.
It is called a scam because that's what the perps are going for. Their goal is to extract money. From the article: "The price was $300. He transferred the money via Apple Cash and pleaded to be left alone. But it wasn’t enough. Now Dani wanted $800."

Maybe you know different teenagers than me, but I'm not expecting that the boys described here would be big on joining a rape support group.
Sometimes information is valuable even when there is no ethical way to collect it.

I hope there was a long discussion after the event, though.

If you're worried about fear of water, rather than damaging the parent/child relationship, that's easily solved. Swimming lessons will do the trick.
