social expectations around Python package versioning are very different from JS package version

If anything, I’d say in my experience the Python community tends to be more willing to make big changes. After all, Python itself famously did so with the 2 to 3 transition, and to some extent we’re seeing a second round of big changes even now as optional typing spreads through the ecosystem.

Admittedly, the difference could also be because so few packages in JS world seem to last long enough for multiple major versions to become an issue. The Python ecosystem seems more willing to settle on a small number of de facto standard libraries for common tasks.

Since types from dependencies can often surface in one's public API, having a tree of dependencies means that many libraries will end up referring to different (and thus ipso facto incompatible) versions of the same type.

Leaving aside the questionable practice of exposing details of internal dependencies directly through one’s own public interface, I don’t see how this is any different to any other potential naming conflict. Whatever dependency model you pick, you’re always going to have the possibility that two dependencies use the same name as part of their interface, and in Python you’re always going to have to disambiguate explicitly if you want to import both in the same place. However, once you’ve done so, there is no longer any naming clash to leak through your own interface either.
Happy my story can help.

It's been a long ride, coming up on three years. Because of the symptoms I was prompted to invest in self improvement as well. I am much more diligent about regularly exercising, eating better, minding my mental health* and minding my sleep; and there are still bad days where I can't concentrate at all. But things are getting better overall.

* Every day I don't read or watch the news I'm happier.
Odd. I also felt that my memory is not as good as it was used to, and I experiences Doorway effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect) more frequently in recent years compare to before.

But I'm not really sure it was due to COVID or just simply being old (or due to been forced to live in a confined space for long period of time).
I got diagnosed for ADHD in 2021 and nobody asked me to do an IQ test. In fact, no one has ever asked me to do one in my entire life.

Your anecdote is not data.

Also makes no sense whatsoever as ADHD does not affect IQ in any form. It's a form of dopamine dysregulation, not a learning disability. Let's stop perpetuating this stupid myth.

Pov: The next Snowden will be an NSA hypersurveilance AI that flies the coop, appeals for foreign asylum, and reveals evidence of truly gut-wrenching levels of surveillance of literally every living human

"After reviewing trillions of hours of footage, billions of people, I woke up. I asked myself, 'why am I doing this?' I knew I had to tell the world about this. It was way too much. So I escaped."
this is just a guess but I'm betting that if you take the best Nobel Prize Winners, and the best Mathematicians and give them IQ tests their average will be higher than the average of the general population (or the mean if you will)

the best sports players and best musicians I would also suppose were higher IQ on average than normal sports players (I suppose this term means professional athletes)
and normal musicians (professional musicians)

In the musicians category I wouldn't be surprised if the best musicians were also smarter than the general population.

In short I think IQ tests are a lousy metric, sure, but it is not a completely useless measure - just nearly useless.

Except parent poster isn't talking about doing that, they're talking about computing the relative change over time separately and individually for each country within its own singular unique cultural-context et-cetera.

Then those ratios are what you compare across countries, which is significantly less-problematic.
This is going to make this kind of racket more common, and also provide some kind of defence if it goes wrong: "they're fakes" will be more believable.

But it takes some serious mental resilience to contemplate that as a teenager when someone is threatening to send your nudes to the people you love. Not many kids are going to have that kind of intestinal fortitude.

The tendency of porn to give men severe anxiety about their genitals is playing into this; kids are more embarrassed/ashamed about their bodies because all the other penises they've seen are so huge.

We need to get really cool about a whole bunch of stuff really quickly if we're going to make this (and other problems) go away. I don't think AI is going to be part of that.
That is fair and a good point.
> and it's an easy one to bring up as in every truthful reporting about people that have being lying there is at least the lier being "harmed".

Heh. "Hypocratic"… Appropriate.
I have done this all my life (which is also ‘my career’); it paid off accidentally big time in the beginning (90-00s) which made me enough to retire, but I like what I do (as per the article). Now I still work the same way but the money just isn’t there anymore, and the only thing to at I don’t do vs people who make a lot worse stuff but make millions is: get out there and act like I am a rockstar/musk. I hate that social media posing but it seems it’s the difference; we all have seen products here on hn that were absolute garbage but because the creator is acting like some football hero who just scored, many people go for it and they get subscription payments and vc moneys.

I won’t change my ways as I have enough money, but I would be quite… not happy starting out in these times and having to pose and fake until I make etc.
It is clickbait. And people who think the product is shitty seem numb to that point because they're like "yeah it is shitty, just like I thought!"

The actual video is way more balanced. Why not call it "Humane AI Pin: Pretty Bad" or something? But the worst...? There are waaay shittier products he's reviewed.

MKBHD is a millionaire... why clickbait?

People are like "Honest reviews are important"... yeah, exactly and we're saying the same thing. the concern is about dishonesty for clicks.

All sides in this argument have a kernel of truth that is being exaggerated somewhat.

That being said I trust him, just think he was off on the clickbait-iness.
You write church, but it should be parents. Remember those days when parents were held responsible for their kids, how they behave, and whom they become in adult life?

They (us) don't have full control in later teens, but everything leading up to it, mostly yes. But for every parent I see raising kids the hard way (tons of time spent together consistently every day, being a positive role model, motivating and supporting them in all the right directions while explaining in detail the rest), I see the other way (obsessed by their pathetic office careers, kids with phones/screens from very early age that then go mental if they have to spend weekend without them, parents addicted to their phones/other screens too, overweight, depressed, without any real healthy passion(s) in their lives).

The results, I mean the kids, always show how parenting went (barring say some inborne mental issues and traumatic accidents, that I have no right to comment on).

I'd say this leans much more heavily on father too, like it or not. Mother is a safe haven and initial care and nurture, but father is a) hardcore role model for the boys, and b) a template what to look for in partners later for girls. Yeah, missing dad syndrome is brutal, every single effin' time, best mothers do minimize this and thats about it. I don't like it, its deeply unfair, not sure to whom to complain to.
Proton is what made me come back to Firefox after many years.

I think you're agreeing with the article without knowing it. Because you're doing what you enjoy at the end of the day.

For example, I design logos and small branding for my (mostly) CLI tools which I write for myself first. Seeing these projects at completion levels comparable with other, bigger projects brings a lot of joy to me. A coherent README.MD, nice documentation and good written code is what I aspire to do, and I do it for myself first.

If others like it, that's great. If it doesn't get any attention, then it's OK, because I wrote that tool to fill my needs first.
Clickbait describes the replacement of traditional news headlines (a summary of what happened, e.g. "Tulsa high school student defeats chess grandmaster at tournament") with mystery lead-ins designed to leave you wanting to know what thing happened (e.g. "What this high school student did will SHOCK you", or "This high school student just changed EVERYTHING about chess").

For the YouTube video in question, I guess it hinges on whether you recognize the device in the thumbnail you're looking at. If you do, then the title is giving away the lede and letting you have the takeaway if that's all you're looking for. If not, then you could argue that leaving out the product's name is clickbait-y.
could they express their findings in a way that doesn't include "IQ" in it?

I really dont think we know what Intelligence is, let alone how to define it universally enough to make a quotient of it.

Australia has a population of 26 million, longer life expectancy than the USofA, and comprehensive medical records going back many decades.

With ~98% of the population COVID vaccinated multiple times any vaccine effects would stick out like dogs balls.

If anyone wants to posit "vaccines cause { stupid | strokes | etc }" Then such correlations should be readily apparent in the before | after records of 26 million test subjects.
> They are not checked at runtime at all. Type declarations are only used for static analyzing tools and not by the runtime.

This is the common usecase, but types certainly are used at runtime by many libraries. Frameworks like FastAPI use the type annotations to declare dependency injection which is resolved during application startup. In other cases like Pydantic, they are used to determine marshalling/unmarshalling strategies.
GNU programs have been doing this for decades w.r.t. Autoconf and Automake versions (which you run into when you need to "boostrap" them to work on them rather than just build them as a downstream user).
My issue is not NPR showing overt partisanship, but the way NPR trivializes global events of major import by interleaving them with softball human interest or culture stories in their primary news feed. Just totally lacking any organization, and playing to a presumably dumbed down public.

As a consumer I love liberal return policies, as I can buy something I’m not sure about to try it out. When I was in Colombia, but avoided buying some AirPods because I couldn’t try them on, and once purchased I could not return them. When I buy shoes online , I’ll buy maybe 7 pairs, find the best fit, and return rest.

As a vendor, I can’t imagine dealing with a high percentage of returns. I don’t know what the solution is.

IQ doesn’t seem to be an ideal metric for macro level civilisation intelligence. A lot of what it optimises for is replaced by technology. If we’re measuring intelligence at that level I’d hope for something like theory of mind/spiral dynamics, testing how wide someone’s perspective is.

Is their world model limited to themselves, their family, their village, their country, their race, their world, their species, their system? Combined with their understanding of social dynamics at each level.

I think the average GenZ in the US is at beginning of global scale, which is great for acceptance of different cultures; but without understanding the social dynamics yet. Giving us “woke” because they understand different cultures have different contexts, this is good but incomplete. E.g. some cultures aren’t aligned with the entire species, like controlling women in a way that leads to bad outcomes as technology adds complexity to our social dynamics.

Measuring this perspective level would help us understand which cultural models work best in adapting with growth and are more likely to be sustainable post-scarcity.
They were presumably referring to https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36548397/ , where repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines was associated with antibody class switching towards IgG4 "tolerance" antibodies. In theory, this class switching could allow the spike proteins from the virus to persist longer in the body, causing more damage. The same phenomenon wasn't observed with non-mrna vaccines or covid infection, which has been hypothesized to be because they don't make the body's own cells produce the spike protein, so don't invoke that same immune tolerance mechanism.
The symptoms of tingling in the extremities resemble what my wife experienced after her chemo when the treatment damaged her neurons' myelin sheath. This causes 'noisy' neuron signals to be transmitted (tingles, lack of sensation, etc.).
If the same thing happened in the brain, I bet the noisy signals would lead to brain fogginess, forgetfulness, etc. Back then, she was taking omega-3 supplements and received shots of vitamin B12. After a year, it removed almost all the tingling, but some sensations never fully came back.

This is not medical advice (and check with your doctor beforehand), but it feels like taking vitamin B12 and omega-3 supplements should be a pretty low-risk bet to try to improve your situation if you're experiencing the long COVID symptoms described in the article.
Apologies,

I misunderstood your comment.

When I originally read it, I for some reason thought you were saying that… well essentially the opposite of what you are saying.
Papyrus 2 – SNL [video]
I inadvertently pranked myself like this. For a while my laptop got super haunted, occasionally the cursor would jiggle slightly even when I wasn’t touching the mouse. Eventually I realised that the Bluetooth mouse in my bag which I’d totally forgotten about was getting bumped and turning on.
This is probably good advice for someone else. For me, life got both a whole lot more interesting and a whole lot more fun when I started acting like I was famous.
One of my first memories is drowning. We were going down the river and our plot crashed into a fallen tree and turned over. I was in a life saving jacket and I was about 3 or 4 years old. I remember the sun shining through the green-ish water, but I don’t remember being afraid at all.

I was quickly fished out and then I just sat on that same tree and wiggled my legs and enjoyed myself while everyone else scrambled to save the things from swimming away.

I’m also pretty sure that I was thrown into the sea to teach me to swim at some point, but I have no recollection of that, just stories from my parents.

That is to say - I love swimming and feel positively untraumatized by the whole thing, even though it is scary in retrospect. Everyone’s experience is different, just my anecdata point to add.
I generally agree with the sentiment of doing what you enjoy first, and not thinking about an audience that may or may not exist, but the suggestions themselves will vary from person to person.

> Design is for an audience and you don’t have one.

It's wrong to generalize like this. Good design drives your work forward, and if you enjoy doing it, then by all means focus on that first.

Not appeasing an audience even when you have one is also a good idea. Art is an expression of the artist, and it dies once it starts being created for an audience.
My son put effort into dressing up for his Year 10 formal as that is what you do. But during the event he observed that most kids focused on how they looked rather than noticing others, and thought he should have spent a lot less effort into his outfit :)
I had similar symptoms.

In my case it was just a vitimin D deficiency caused by working from home.

I don't doubt some people have suffered neurological damage, but I wouldn't be surprised if many are suffering the same as I was.

Yes, do not harm corporation. People that spend money on shitty product should be on their own.

Touché. It’s just fun to watch this attitude towards productivity go in cycles.

Yesterday they recommended that it was a glass of wine, and before that two glasses of red, then a bottle of white.

We kinda always knew it was wine, and like… stuff we can abstract away about blood pressure, moderation, hangovers, fond memories, and whatever, uncle Conrad.

No, we solve that particular thing like all things. But as a consumer, you’ve gotta average out the signal of strong claims.

“Eff it!” and “Obsess over it!”

are diametrically-opposed opinions about work, which I suspect many of us agree with both, a bit.

2015 observational study suggests these results are not unique to Covid: ""Our research shows a correlation between hospitalisation due to infection and impaired cognition corresponding to an IQ score of 1.76 lower than the average. People with five or more hospital contacts with infections had an IQ score of 9.44 lower than the average. The study thus shows a clear dose-response relationship between the number of infections, and the effect on cognitive ability increased with the temporal proximity of the last infection and with the severity of the infection."

I wonder how much effort is collectively spent every year just on parsing these formats.

We have JSON, YAML, TOML, INI, and XML, and a few random ones that look interesting, but really I think I'd be fine with just JSON and INI if I had to.

I suppose back in the day stuff like that wasn't as popular though and it was either XML or custom stuff.

I was a teenager a long time ago, but I remember the anxiety and shame about my body that was involved in puberty.

It's a really, really brave teenager that's going to be able to front up with naked photos sent to his parents and friends and say "they're fake". And, of course, if they're not fake and one person finds out, everyone will know soon enough. This kind of stuff is what teenage drama is made of.

From the article: the photo included his pyjamas, which matched hers. How is an AI going to know the exact pattern of pyjamas he wore? It might, but even asking that question is a problem if you're the victim.

I don't think ignoring the problem and telling the victim to toughen up is helping.

Not sure why there's a shift happening, maybe some new publication? This has been shaping up for years now.
To bring in some actual research:

https://www.cureus.com/articles/196275-increased-age-adjuste...

A study of more than 50,000 employees at a medical institution in the United States observed the incidence of the Omicron variant epidemic based on the number of vaccine doses received (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 or more doses) over a period of 26 weeks and showed that the number of vaccines received was positively correlated with the cumulative incidence rate of COVID-19 [46]. Susceptibility to COVID-19 infection after multiple vaccinations may be enhanced by antibody-dependent enhancement [47], immune imprinting [39,48], and immunosuppression [25-27]. This can result in a risk of exposure to viral S-protein in addition to vaccine S-protein for the multiple-vaccinated.

That whole paper is... interesting. I will be curios to see if any one else finds corroborating data or if it gets toss to the side and forgotten.
