Maybe I'm overly nostalgic, but the reputation laundering in years past didn't seem to preclude significant financial gifts to things the general public benefited from, such as scholarships, public parks and libraries. Bill Gates for his part has done a lot to prevent the spread of infectious disease for the most vulnerable around the world.

Something definitely seems to have changed since those days. Warren Buffett is one of the top 5 most influential men on earth and does nothing besides spout folksy platitudes about how "it's not right" that his secretary pays a bigger percentage of her income on tax than he does. Even Jeff Bezos' divorce was a blessing in some ways as his ex-wife committed billions to charities that Bezos himself would not. The less said about Musk taunting the United Nations Food Programme's ask for $6bn, the better.
It certainly is if that's how you use it. It makes a fine Clippy replacement. But if you want to compare the views of Robert Hughes the art critic with the views of Carl Jung the psychologist and have the AI tell what they might say in agreement about AI, then it's going to give you a different experience.

I've been wearing the same prescription (the correct one) since my mid-20s and it's not changing anymore. Plus I can actually see properly.
I grew up in a lower middle class family. Here's the formula for middle class and higher success in America:

1. stay in school

2. pay attention in school, learn the material

3. don't do drugs

4. don't do crimes

5. go to college (loans are readily available)

6. pick a major that pays well

It's not rocket science.

Your cite says that the differences in infant mortality shrink considerably when taking into account differential criteria for infant mortality. What the study does not address is drug abuse by the mother. The paper assumes differences are due to differential health care, rather than different lifestyle choices. Lifestyle that affects infant mortality include:

1. drug abuse

2. smoking

3. obesity

4. diet

5. alcohol use

6. absence of fathers (i.e. lack of stable family)

7. age of mother

These are all significant factors, and ignoring them and blaming the health care system is not good enough.

I would rather we don't have to spend precious emergency responder time on preventable injuries and deaths that occur at much higher rates by people not wearing seatbelts. If we can require you wear glasses to drive, we can require you wear a seatbelt as well. When someone dies in an accident because they didn't wear a seatbelt, there is another driver who now has to live with the fact that they killed someone.

The first recorded use of the word "busybody" was in 1526, per Merriam Webster. Some people just feel like it's their duty to tell the world how to be. I think it's just human nature.
Do you mind explaining why you think so? I'm missing what is negative about it. To me it doesn't seem an unusual phrase - often a reference to Where the Wild Things Are.

And I've just found from the Wikipedia page that "wild thing" in that book was inspired by the Yiddish expression "vilde chaya" ("wild animals"), used to refer to boisterous children.

I think it's inevitable that that's SpaceX's fate in the fullness of time.

But it seems like it'll be a while for them. They aren't indulging in typical market-leader behavior. They have kept their prices low - the market leader there by a substantial margin (based on $/kg to LEO). And they clearly have no problem making their best product obsolete via internal innovation. From what I recall, those are the 2 big pitfalls that entrenched market leaders tend to indulge in.

In the knockout round of this year’s tournament, eight out of eight winners so far have been the teams whose countries had higher rates of Toxo infection. If we go back to the 2006 World Cup, seven out of eight knockout-round winners could be predicted by higher Toxo rates. The one exception to the rule was Brazil’s defeat of Ghana, a match between two nations that each have very high rates. (Aside from having the winningest team in World Cup history, Brazil has quite a few cases of Toxo: Two out of three Brazilians are infected.)

Rank the top 25 FIFA team countries by Toxo rate and you get, in order from the top: Brazil (67 percent), Argentina (52 percent), France (45 percent), Spain (44 percent), and Germany (43 percent).

Spain, the only one of the group never to have won a cup, is no subpar outlier—the Spaniards have the most World Cup victories of any perpetual runner-up.

They currently rely heavily on small hypergolic rockets. It's really hard to tell just how scared people should be of China's rocket program. On the one hand, they undoubtedly have a lot of very smart people. And they don't seem to fall in love with boondoggles like SLS/Orion. But on the other hand, they seem to be really stuck in the past for a country with so much advanced space tech.

China is broke, like dead broke. It will follow Soviet Union's footstep of space race with the US in 1960 and collapse of Soviet Union.

Ship building is not the same technology level as spacecraft. China famously exclaimed in 2019 that they will be able to duplicate EUV in a few years, when dutch introduced EUV restrictions in China in 2019. Still nothing from China on EUV. Still nothing from China in terms of plane engines. Their new carrier in 2024 is still just a "demo" carrier, not to be used in real combat.

What is the danger of having an information source available to you, versus not having one available to you?

Are you imagining a scenario where, maybe, a kid is walking by a house, but the tracking shows the kid IN the house. And then the parent who is watching every minute of their 10 year old's walk down the street takes their gun and kills the "pedos" and tries to rescue their kids?

Maybe that seems hyperbolic, but I really cannot imagine how this is dangerous. Or is it the idea that parents will let their kids do more dangerous stuff since they think if they can track them, then it's okay?

The first two changes appear theoretically sound, but it's not clear that they would result in an actual performance improvement at scale. Their analysis ignores that a single matrix multiplication is typically used to calculate the Q, K, and V values from the inputs.

The third change looks like it would break causal masking for auto regressive language models. For masked token language models and ViTs, perhaps it's an improvement, though.

There WAS a website where you could order parts, in theory. Except every single part on the site was either "Unavailable" or "Call Tesla", even down the simplest commodity bolts...

There WAS somewhere you could go to look at the documentation / service manuals. You did have to make an appointment, though, and you did have to pay a fee, and there was a time limit, and you couldn't bring any electronic devices with you, only a legal pad and pencil...
Yes, obviously.

OTOH, the correct strategy for maximizing an American university's prestige, influence, and endowment has long been to zealously position it as a Holy Academic Church. The Faithful should be incapable of having any question or concern, however minor, which is not addressed in the Official Catechism of the University. Their lives of loyal worship of the University should culminate in their willing every dollar they've been able to beg, borrow, or steal to Its Holy Endowment at the end of the mortal tenures. Thus will they find themselves in New Cambridge, reunited with all the Faithful Alumni who have gone before them, and admitted into the Crimson Gates, to sing sacred songs of praise...

>I can only guess you (and most of the other naysayers in this thread) don't have young children.

or they don't hail from a culture where helicopter parenting has become the norm. Here in Germany tracking your kids like this would be widely seen as completely bizarre. There's a great Japanese TV show, called Old Enough, (that has been running for 30 years, long before smartphones existed), where kids as young as 2 and 4 run off and navigate public transport and do daily errands.

At minimum, even if (clearly accidentally) putting a code next to a open source license world be legally binding, the person doing the leaking was not the intellectual property owner. Google will just - correctly - say, that the person that leaked the code had no right to do so, especially under free license.
> The FDA and FAA are massive bureaucracies that are not going to get into the business of regulating electronics

The FAA has been in the business of regulating electronics for more than half a century. They are also in the business of certifying that replacement parts meet the same standards even when not endorsed by the manufacturer. There is a reason that a 1970 Cessna can have a modern avionics suite.
Actually good points. I just hope other players catch up.

So, Medicare and Medicaid do not exist? Obamacare isn't funded by the government for poor people? Heavy government regulation doesn't cover nearly every aspect of health care?

On the other hand, Elon just fired Tesla’s entire Supercharger team for what appear to be stupid reasons (and is now trying to rebuild from that error.) The unique expertise at SpaceX will be much harder to rebuild if Musk makes a similar mistake in that company. If anything, a massive outpouring of talent is the most likely vector by which the competition quickly catches up and overtakes SpaceX.
There are a whole set of things we did differently when I was a kid. For example, we always had a plan for where we were going to meet up, because cell phones hadn’t been invented. We also had a lot more experience getting lost in low stakes settings, which helped build the needed skills and confidence to deal with getting lost in more complicated scenarios.

Listen to your innermost voice. If you truly believe that making money is important, then the first thing you should learn is how to awaken your curiosity. In different industries, different lifestyles, languages, and backgrounds, you can discover many problems. But this requires you to be observant enough to notice them.

Nowadays, we are often distracted by things that are developing rapidly, but I think this is not a good thing. We should be open and accept ourselves and our natural instincts to live our lives.

No, cars didn't have seat belts for a long time - generations of people drove without them. When they introduced them a lot of people complained. Now you would have to be an idiot to argue against seat belts.

"Kids" is a very broad term - I don't think tracking older teenagers is appropriate but tracking a toddler (prob too young for this) through to teens is perfectly reasonable. Many people track their partners, family, etc via Apple and Google sharing locations.

It's not that kids need less tech, it's that they need less screen time. Arguably this watch isn't screen time.

Zooming into my local area is a fun bit of puzzling over some of the changes.

I guess I see why XXWNG is changed to EXWNG (less ambiguous), but why is Colorado's BRNKO changed to VONNN? (edit: aha, maybe local hero Lindsey Vonn) HASHE is changed to JURKY, maybe because the former could be a drug reference to Colorado, and HIPPE is changed (though it was in a decidedly non-crunchy part of Colorado).

FLAIL became DEELO, and if I was forced to guess it's because saying "flail" over a radio would be something I'd tend to slowly overpronounce. CENTN was presumably changed because it's almost the name of the nearest airport (KAPA, Centennial Airport).

Presumably OP is talking about a younger kid, and not his 17 year old. It has nothing to do with trust of your child, and has everything to do with not trusting other people to do what is best for your child and not try to take advantage of them. To put it another way, I doubt OP is concerned that his kid is going to go hunt down a pedophile and then have sex with them. He is probably more concerned that a pedophile might try to hunt down his kid and then have sex with them.
As a kid my parents put me in Boy Scouts. Guess what was a frequent occurrence? Sending pairs of kids out to go do tasks like collecting firewood. Every once in awhile kids would get "lost" (not know where they are but not actually far away or in any reasonable danger). This even happened to me more than once. But being lost and figuring it out was necessary to learn the skills of how to navigate. today I have a very good sense of direction and this is not common among my peers.

I think while this sounds like a good idea, it actually hinders the learning process. Struggling is necessary in the learning experience, but you just don't want too much struggle (there's a balance). I think if your kids are old enough that you're comfortable letting them navigate an area on their own, they are old enough to "fend for themselves" in this way. Just make sure they have your phone number and know the name of the hotel or some clear landmark (even in a foreign land you can often stumble about your confusion and say a landmark and people will be able to give you directions. Most of the time).

I think it is better for both the kids and parents. Kids need to learn independence, parents need to learn to trust their kids and that they can be independent (that is the goal after all, right?). I know it is hard as a parent but that is something that needs to be learned too, for the betterment of kids.
How do you say it, you mean? You don't. They are CNFs - computer navigation fixes, used primarily by FMSs and not ATC.
The show only exists because the parents accept that their kid is safe due to the camera crew. There's a reason they don't just strap a gopro to the 2 year old and plop them on a bus, and you will not see 2-4 year olds by themselves in Japan, or almost any nation.
