Then ask the Kaidan developers why they chose to be incompatible - it was a deliberate choice of theirs, they knew what they were doing and what the result would be. It's a surprising decision and not one I, nor (demonstrably) other client developers, would have made.

In most software projects the developers have ultimate freedom on what to implement and how. But nobody is an island in a federated open ecosystem, and there are more responsibilities. In this case the Kaidan developers chose to ignore interoperability and that resulted in a poor experience for Kaidan users. I don't use KDE, so I'm sorry if there are no better options for you.
I would guess it’s because it will just last longer in the fridge, so they’re recommending it be refrigerated. I have lots of stuff that say the same that do fine in a cool, dark pantry. Though I’m sure if I left it long enough it would spoil sooner than in the fridge.
Right. There is clearly a powerful system in the human brain and body that controls our appetite and weight set point. Medications that adjust that system seem to produce durable changes in appetite and obesity, while typical changes to diet and exercise see weight revert to the mean after a year or so.

So the question is whether there are other substances in our diet that are also affecting this system. This isn’t crazy: various gut bacteria produce proteins that increase natural GLP-1 in the body. So any substance that disrupts these bacteria could easily have this sort of effect. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-021-00880-5
It's a LOT easier to regulate something that has a fixed place and can be seen.

If I had kids I'd only break out tablets / mobiles in Offline mode with content I approved of for trips.

Everything else needs to be on a PC or big TV that's around to be seen and thus reviewed by nearby adults. There's just way too much bad stuff online, including content that might look fine at a glance but could be horrific if the audio track is on headphones.
On PCs and dedicated machines? Yeah. On smartphones, it's hard to find something that isn't a Gacha game, and nearly impossible to find something that isn't pay-to-win. All the phone games with network multiplayer available to a 7-year-old right now are some variety of pay-to-win (with ads, regardless).

It's not going to corrupt the youth, but the kids deserve better.

A change to a record in your zone should propagate to all your authoritative servers within a few seconds, using the DNS NOTIFY feature. If it doesn’t, that’s a bug in your provider’s setup.

Caches rely on the TTL of records in your zone, or the SOA negative TTL field for negative answers. You control these TTLs, so don’t set them to 48 hours. In most cases there’s little benefit to having TTLs longer than 1 hour. (I use 24 hours for TTLs on NS records and nameserver addresses, because they tend to be more stable, and it’s good for tail latency to keep them in caches longer.)
Yeah

Insects have been cross contamiated with covid and dying in bucket loads.

when they bite you that get infected with covid and pass it on to their mates,

then a bird comes along and eats the insects and he gets covid too.

then a cat comes along and eats the bird and he gets covid too.

then a dog comes along and eats the cat and he gets covid too.

he's dead of course

> surprisingly childish response from an adult that ought to know better

The lesson you learned from this experience was that the adult was being childish?
As a new parent of 4-month-old, I've been thinking about this topic a lot. (I know I have a few years to prepare).

Where I'm torn is that I had access to technology early in life and in many ways it shaped who I am today for the better. I had a TI99 at age 4(ish), a C64 soon thereafter, and away I went. I'm a tech guy because of that, and being a tech guy has brought me a ton of opportunity in life.

So I want my daughter to have early, positive, deep exposure to tech in the way I did (where she chooses to take that is up to her). But I don't want her to be a screen-addicted drool.

The conclusion amongst friends we've come to is that screens are not inherently the problem -- even video games are not really the problem. The problem is Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. I cannot think of a single positive benefit they offer to kids (or most adults really, with some narrow exceptions). I'll keep her away from them as long as humanly possible, and when not possible, I'll teach her how to use them responsibly (like sugar -- you can't avoid it, but you can manage it.)

I hope?
Has the American government ever done something like this? Not with banks; nor with car companies.
This raises issues, but may be missing some important points.

Regarding the philosophy of ornament or not, brutalist architects were obsessed with texture. Many buildings that may seem at first to be without ornament actually had a huge amount of effort put into casting their concrete forms with rows of fins that stick out and are later roughly pounded back to form a particular look. This cost a lot of extra money even though it comes off as a rather plain texture to many.

And when it comes to cost analysis this take is very shallow. An interesting counterexample is the recent rebuilding of a hospital in Chinatown, San Francisco. The initial designs were extremely plain and boxy based on the idea that every bit of money spent on ornament could be spent on life saving devices instead. Only when a foundation was formed to raise money specifically for ornamentation of the building was that added to the design.
Oh.. cool!

Paddler – Stateful load balancer custom-tailored for llama.cpp
My kid is 6 and does not have one. I work from home and frequently and one of the easy ways to keep his attention while I’m trying to work is to hand over the iPad. It always seems to have an effect on emotional regulation if he has it for more than about 30 minutes.

I cannot imagine what he’d be like when he possesses something like that full time.
Notorious Pink Drainer retires after hitting $85M theft milestone
Based on the following paragraph alone, I feel quite tempted to file this under ‘utter rubbish’:

> Another hypothesized mechanism [for personality changes] involves alterations in the electromagnetic field of the recipient. Pearsall highlighted the fact that “energy and information are the same thing” (p., 5 [4]). One form of energy is electromagnetic energy, and the heart generates the largest electromagnetic field in the body. Information related to the personality of the donor could be stored within the electromagnetic field of the donor’s heart and this information could then be transferred with the heart during transplant surgery, producing a change in the recipient’s personality [4].

No disagreement on allocation. I just don't see why anyone would use something like this in the CUDA/CPU ecosystem where lots of established alternatives exist that do not require one to use C# or F#, neither of which is common in scientific computing.

OTOH the field is almost bare on the Apple side, in spite of there being over a billion devices out there with relatively low hardware fragmentation and almost uniform ISA throughout the entire product lineup. Hence the suggestion.

I also put one of these together, but I find it mixes much better if it turns very slowly over a long period. I have it set to do ~1/4 of a turn once per minute and usually run it at least overnight before putting a new jar in the fridge. Also helps to put the jar in the fridge on its side so it doesn't separate back out as much before solidifying.

It will spoil/go rancid. Even the 'non-natural' big brands like Jif/Skippy taste and smell 'off' if they sit out for a few weeks after being opened.

There's no winning here, because putting it in the fridge makes it hard to spread. The best approach is to take out a week's worth or so and put it in a small/airtight container. Leave that out but put the main jar in the fridge.
This isn't entirely true. I was told and all my peers about the dangers of cigarette and yet in college half of my class was smoking regularly (decades ago in Europe). The only thing that really reduced consumption was when it became banned in public places and the prices increased beyond what most kids could afford (richer kids didn't care), but still compared to countries like US people are still smoking a lot there even nowadays.

There’s pretty solid evidence that lifetime healthcare spending is actually lower for obese people, even in European countries with better allocation towards younger populations. In the US, it’s definitely cheaper to have people dying young before they get that third hip replacement and two rounds of chemo.

> one-unit decrease in BMI showed gains in life expectancy ranging from 0.65 to 0.68 year and changes in total health care costs varying from -€1563 to +€4832.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37222003/

You should at least consider the possibility that you’ve unfairly jumped to assertions about “cost” out of another layer of paternalism that is not warranted by the facts. Like the whole “muh tax/healthcare dollars” may actually be backwards and having them live longer might well end up costing you more.

That is the essence of the CBO paper that was discussed yesterday too: curing the obese doesn’t really reduce lifetime healthcare spending, because the US healthcare system barely spends anything on anyone who isn’t an AARP member anyway, and reducing obesity is going to lead to a lot more AARP members in 10-20 years. Which is a good thing, but also not going to be a net financial benefit, especially when you only are paying for seniors to begin with and don’t see any of the healthy-population benefits.

This is the problem with all these discussions around obesity, everyone treats it as a moral failing and automatically assumes every other factor falls into line backing their ideal moral stance etc. And money doesn’t really care about morality, it’s quite cheap to have people die early before they get the third knee replacement and the second round of chemo.

People have been doing the “ugly people = worse/morally inferior/less deserving” since the dawn of time and people today have somehow convinced themselves they’re immune. But morality doesn’t necessarily line up with practical reality, in this case finances.
Yeah, so if half your kids are failing your class, that's a you problem. Especially if half everybody else's kids are not.
The utility could have fixed it with the money they got to fix it, of course.
All of this may be true, but don't take it out on the kids. They will see you online where you can produce better content and experiences.
People grew up literally expecting a nuclear war, or inside tyrannical expansionist states, and still had hope for the future.

We were worried about acid rain, and losing the ozone layer, and a ton of other stuff that we managed to solve. I doubt the kids today are fundamentally different than they were in the past.
They dont want to interrupt the good OpenAI is doing in the world, dont ya know
For a nation state the most useful thing would be a "kill bit" where you can broadcast some signal or key and disable all your enemy's computers. That's fairly easy to do in an FPGA - the signal would be detected by the serdes block(s) and the kill bit could just kill the power or clock or some other vital part of the chip.
Crypto scammers flooded YouTube with sham SpaceX Starship livestreams
I'm guessing they skipped Phoebe's lines for the training.
One of the concessions of all education is that nobody is ever fully-engaged. If you are teaching more than 1 person something, then you are dividing your attention between multiple students and hoping they understand well enough to continue. Busywork is even worse; you're just handing kids a set of guidelines and hoping they can intuit the right answer when you grade it.

It feels obvious why phones dominate this environment. If you had a 1:1 teacher/student ratio, nobody would be compelled to distract themselves because the learning is paced for them, not the average of the whole. There's time to catch up on Instagram because roll-call only requires you to answer once. There's time to check Twitter since you finished your test early. The number of places where kids are expected to simply do nothing is absurd - of course they're distracting themselves. I read Treasure Island during my mandatory poetry class, is that a reason to confiscate fiction novels from school premises for their distracting and addicting nature too? The problem is with how we teach.
How this is missing NROL-39 is beyond me
I'm not really clear on why FDA is even involved with the biopsy? Maybe because they made a statement relating to the DBS device. FDA only has authority over clinical trials. That means studies involving new devices or drugs (or new uses of them) that are intended to determine efficacy and safety. It's not obvious to me how these biopsies are related except through the association with modifications to DBS procedure and labeling that's intended for patient care.

Having just read the tweet linked below (since I can't get past the paywall) this seems Health and Human Services ballpark.

We can argue about whether FDA should have more oversight but there are very real restrictions on what FDA is actually authorized to do by Congress.

That's all to say: FOIA into FDA is interesting but the IRB seems responsible here and there's a claim the researchers deviated from approved consent forms. Anyway it just seems that this might be complaining the FDA didn't do something that it cannot do.

I don't know what point you're trying to make here. Obviously developers will choose to break compatibility every other day for very flimsy reasons -- I have a million examples, including "Why did Conversations decide to remove OTR support ?" Or even "why are you forking software at all in Snikket?".

My problem here is that XMPP encourages this by adopting a _breaking change_ to a protocol. To my knowledge this is not a client deciding to go out of its way to break compatibility, it's a client deciding to implement the current version of OMEMO and as a consequence ending up incommunicado. If you look at the most recent version of popular XEPs you'll end up with a client that can talk to nobody. This is not a good example of stewardship and doesn't look good look as a candidate for replacing email, a protocol that must last for at least half a century. Core XMPP did look good candidate, but the chase for the shiny has corrupted this protocol as has countless others. Same reason we're down to basically only two workable Jabber server implementations.

Arguments like "oh don't worry, we'll smooth things over by updating all clients in tandem" just don't make me see things better, because I know by experience that it never happens in practice.
This reminds of the study that claimed 15% of 2 years drink coffee: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/089033441557097...

Given that I’ve never in my entire life met another parent who thinks giving 2-year olds coffee while this study is claiming 1 in 7 do it, I suspect something else is going on in this surveys. For example, parents who let their kids have a sip of a latte occasionally.

I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar was going on: I know parents who set aside old smartphones and an extra line for their kids to take on certain travel occasions, but they’re getting included with the parents throwing a smart phone to their kids and hoping for the best.

That said, as a parent I do run into a number of other parents who seem unable to resist any pressure from their kids. They have the exact same attitude as the couple interviewed in this article who said they felt “pushed into a corner”. There’s an uncomfortable abdication of responsibilities to vague societal pressures that many people use to justify the avoidance of their own responsibilities.
This project was picked up (and forked) by Rosatom for its internal Jira replacement after they got cut off from Jira in spring of 2022. No idea how many changes they introduced, but I guess OpenProject should be powerful enough (or at least provide a powerful enough base to build upon) to handle giant projects at their scale. The fork is not publicly accessible, although they do conform to the GPL and provide the source code to their clients.

It's interesting, I live in an a stereotypically-affluent and tech-forward Silicon Valley suburb, and very few of the kids in my kids' elementary school (ages 8 and 10) have smartphones.

I would say that Apple Watches are more common (but still less than 15% of kids) and that the few kids with phones have them in order to coordinate between divorced parents.

Around a third of families have one or both parents working in Big Tech. Maybe they know better!
Speaking as a teacher, the primary things happening here are:

1) remote school taught developing brains that when something is difficult or boring you can just check out and play on your phone. For many, it’s not that they don’t want to learn but that they literally don’t know how. This is something that’s difficult for adults who don’t work with children (and some who do) to wrap their heads around. They aren’t just miniature adults.

2) This is a failure of the school administration to set consistent rules & expectations. If other teachers and school admin don’t enforce a rule, it’s nearly hopeless to try and be the one teacher who does.

As an aside, unfortunately it’s really difficult to have worthwhile public conversations about ed policy. It’s like the story of the blind men and the elephant. Everyone’s got their personal experience as students and parents, wrapped up with all kinds of emotions, memories, ego, politics, etc. Comparatively very few have any experience regularly interacting with children who aren’t their own, let alone attempting to teach them.
I don’t think it’s exclusively social (which surely is its own kind of poison). My kid mostly consumes video from our local Plex, or paints on the iPad, and it does something to his brain. Throws him off for the rest of the day.

It’s gotten to the point where I am trying to keep him off it altogether because he seems to manage so much better.

I also want my kid to be exposed to tech. And in a way that’s not purely consumptive. I wonder if there’s going to be something he can get in at the ground floor on that can provide the edge early computing did for me.
Sure you can, it's just a pain (you have to pre-add it in Settings).
You're right, this isn't a view that is likely to be shared by the general public.

However, I don't think the general public's view of OpenAI is much better at this point, given that their exposure is Hinton on 60 Minutes claiming that AI is going to imminently end civilization, creatives arguing that OpenAI has stolen their work, and students using their products to cheat.

The only people that I do know who have historically had a positive view of OpenAI has been people working in tech. And Sam seems to be doing everything he can to destroy that goodwill.
I don't personally care much about a frame or two of latency (some do though, and for some genres that'll be a big deal); however I care about animation smoothness. If the monitor refresh rate is 144Hz and physics tick rate is 60Hz, you'll need some form of interpolation, which is hard to do well especially since the refresh rate isn't a multiple of tick rate.
Well, in my book that is call obscurantism and never worked for long. It would be the first time that something like this works forever in humanity. I think once the genius is outside the bottle you cannot close him again.

If I take the science fiction route I would say that humans in your position should think about moving to another planet and create military defenses against AI.
My money is on ARM Windows improvements.
Yet when it comes to kids being able to communicate at a distance, I think we’ve lost something. My son (12) is quite fascinated when I explain how the old landline approach used to work. That there wasn’t really an age limit, that you could find out someone’s number just from a book, that the house had a phone and you might have to ask to talk to someone. He says it’s too complicated now because all his friends have varied access to devices, are on different chat apps, it is awkward to ask someone for their phone number or email, no one want to talk (voice), etc.
For a long time I blamed myself for things being difficult. But self knowledge surely includes knowledge of how conditions affect your nervous system. Totally plausible a given nervous system works better with a typewriter than any networked device. Even like when you have to take a break from the thinking you will be more productive pacing or taking a walk on the grounds than flipping over to y combinator.

Make it easy to be good isn't just a parenting precept, it works to manage yourself as a mature adult as well.
Honest question: why are we not trying to get this number closer to 100%?

Like many people on this site, I personally benefitted from having access to computing technology and the internet as a child, starting at age 5 or 6. This gave me opportunities to build a career in tech that was simply not available to those less fortunate. I've heard similar stories from people in a lot of STEM fields.
Parents today are so lazy. Have even seen some parents mount phones on the walker to distract the child.

I only hope it’s not “YT Kids” on repeat/autoplay.

Not sure where I heard it, but advertising firms absolutely love to get their ~~~psyops~~~ ads in front of children in their impressionable phase. The idea is that years down the road, maybe when they are old enough. That catchy jingle they heard when they were young will be forever imprinted in their brain.

Subconsciously, when presented with the high number of options to them at the supermarket. They will pick the one that just so happened to be advertised to them heavily when they were young.
