>Here we're talking about banning smartphones

The topic is about banning smartphones for students during school, not in general.

Even if social media was the best thing for your health since sliced bread, it's not appropriate for learning in a school setting.

Yes, in that he says all those things aren't new, and don't seem to be actually offering benefits compared with other EV trucks from manufacturers that started later than Tesla.
The manufactures of these devices need to be held liable for the creation and distribution of a harmful product. If it can be shown the phones have an effect on a student's mental health, the executives at these companies and the companies themselves should be made to pay for any damages caused.
I suppose it could? The issue is that people can conceivably just eat small portions of unhealthy foods. It would certainly be a boost if they were willing to make an effort though, get some serious fiber in there, find a good yogurt, that sort of thing.

I agree with you in the long term, but like the joke about solving something with regular expressions: now you have two problems. This is an argument for an intervention to reduce a certain harm in a certain way now. We should also, independently, pursue restitution. The article brings up smoking and that seems like a good model to me. We both restricted where smoking could occur and also went after cigarette companies - both efforts were worthwhile on their own and also were generally complimentary.
> A minimum wage of N30,000 (£15) a month, agreed in 2019, expired this April. The unions are asking for an increase to N494,000 (£257).

And a different source:

"""Unions are demanding a huge increase in the minimum wage, saying workers cannot survive on the current rate of 30,000 naira (£18; $22) a month.
The government is offering to double this but security guard Mallam Magaji Garba tells the BBC that this would not even be enough to buy a 50kg bag of rice, which he needs to feed his family each month.
The bag of rice costs 75,000 naira ($56; £44) - more than the government's proposal, even before taking other expenses into account."""

- https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6ppwz87vgqo

50 kg per month is 1.6 kg per day; rice is about 3500 kcal per kg, so 1.6 kg/day would just about feed 2 adults and 1 kid.

This government had picked a number so low that nobody could accept it even if they adored and worshipped them.

There was certainly a lot more conversations/debate around verifiable, but inaccessible, knowledge. You would ask a friend or family member something like, "what's the second longest river," and have a discussion about it if no one knew for certain or of two people had differing opinions.

Now we simply look it up which means we don't have those conversations. I feel that on a whole it's made us less comfortable with situations where one person thinks A and another thinks B that's spilled from verifiable knowledge to scenarios where personal opinions differ. Probably something something culture wars.

It also meant that if you told someone you were meeting them at a certain place and time that not showing up was a huge waste of their time and a larger social no-no. Nowadays people cancel at the last moment because you can be sure your message will be received.

The curse of Chinese characters is that they unite the country. You can't get rid of them because Chinese then becomes 10 languages, and they're suddenly broken up like Europe. If everything were Mandarin, you could Romanize or Bopomofize no problem (although with much grumbling of course.) But it's not, and probably not going to be as far as I know; it's like Hindi. It's the writing that makes China one country.

Résumé/CV: https://rogerpincombe.com/resume
Email: hellohn@rogerpincombe.com

I am an experienced engineering leader, product creator, and full stack engineer. I have over a decade of broad experience with technologies, industries, and scales of operation, having founded multiple startups in the AI and Ad-Tech industries (including Augur which went through Techstars Boulder 2013 and was later acquired), worked at enterprises as notable as Microsoft and Salesforce, won over 15 hackathons, and regularly built new products for fun or freelance. My engineering often involves machine learning, web scraping, and integrating many disparate systems. Some of my more interesting personal projects include the OpenAI GPT3 .Net SDK, the AllThePeople.net social media data mining system, and a teleprompter for Google Glass. Additionally, I am experienced at presenting at conferences and managing events in both professional and entertainment contexts. I am based in San Francisco but value location flexibility.

A few years ago I took a break from the tech industry to start a 450-seat San Francisco live performance venue in the midst of a pandemic, which is now a thriving local business hosting sold-out events most days of the week. Over the past year or so I've founded a couple AI startups (https://doppler.bot and https://mindprint.ai) and numerous other projects (from domain name brainstorming to a productivity tool functionally identical to MS's recently announced recall feature), some of which are built on top of OpenAI and some of which are based on open source models. At this point it's becoming clear the recent startups I founded are probably not going mainstream, so I'm exploring what might be next for me career-wise.

I would love for my next role to utilize my top-tier engineering skills, my customer-focused product expertise, and my experience managing and growing an organization. I am open to technical co-founder roles, CTO positions, as well as entrepreneur-in-residence or new product-building opportunities within organizations of all sizes.

Can we all just acknowledge how weird the debate has gotten though?

I mean clearly some types of masks are better than others, that's why there's standards for masks in the first place. This shouldn't be controversial. Worse by making it controversial the whole notion of doubting any kind of mask no matter how ill designed suddenly became a faux-pass. Severely obstructing any debate on the best way to make masks.

Heck as the article points out surgical masks (not designed to prevent infection from respiratory disease) only block around 70%. Chances are some people now want to shout how 70% is still a lot but 70% fewer particles is a whole lot different from a 70% lower chance of infection.

We could all have cooperated to figure out the best way to make masks, but somehow the debate was so heavily leaning towards whether masks were at all effective (which as you pointed out is really fucking obvious), that any notion of debating which masks were most effective and in which contexts was interpreted as a way to delegitimize masks as whole.

Edit: And really the lazy attempts to cast doubt on the effectiveness of masks should have been recognized as disingenuous. The idea that no masks work is easily dismissed because we've been testing and designing masks for all kinds of purposes for ages, so at best it is an argument for a higher class of mask, never no mask at all.
Yeah, and it kind of died.
Yes, 99% of people are wrong and you are very, very right.

If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe it's time to check your own shoes my friend.
And it showed that KN95s are NOT perfect at blocking COVID. This is why the general public now distrust scientists, because the media presents it to them inaccurately and tells them results the study never found. Science is about precision. The study did not find all N95s where nearly perfect at blocking covid, that's flat out inaccurate.

Also let's be really precise here. I'm not conflating anything and i think you don't realize you are.

1) KN95 and N95 use similar filter materials they both have to filter 95% of particles down to 3 microns, the difference is to do with certification N95 is a US certification and KN95 is a Chinese certification. So the material is essentially the same between them. The fits tend to be different.

2) What i'm getting at is the title said all N95s, that's not what the study found, it found that a specific fit style "duckbill" was "Nearly Perfect at Blocking COVID" the non duckbills did not.

So to be accurate what the study did NOT find which the title suggests is that all US certified masks that filter 95% of particles down to 3 microns were nearly perfect at blocking COVID.

This is basically how we got to alphabetic systems in the first place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_alphabet

"Its first origins can be traced back to a Proto-Sinaitic script developed in Ancient Egypt to represent the language of Semitic-speaking workers and slaves in Egypt. Unskilled in the complex hieroglyphic system used to write the Egyptian language, which required a large number of pictograms, they selected a small number of those commonly seen in their surroundings to describe the sounds, as opposed to the semantic values, of their own Canaanite language."
For what it's worth, this is an article about banning phones for students inside school facilities in Canada, and not a broadside about kids and technology writ large. Kids will still bring phones to schools that ban them, the same way they smoked in the boy's room, but it's hard to argue that phone usage in schools that ban them won't drop precipitously.

My kids both just barely missed this era of parenting (I think the boy may have had a phone in his last year of high school), and honestly I have a hard time getting worked up about this stuff. Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't, but if our school district decided tomorrow "absolutely no phones, if we see them we confiscate them", I'd shrug and say "sure, give it a shot".

>> If a person alive now, today, in the present, is unhappy because they have a meager share of the world's wealth, would you expect them to become happy once you've explained to them that the world's wealth will be larger in the future, long after we're all dead?

> I'd expect them to be happier when their material conditions are improved.

You didn't answer the question I asked. I mean, you're not obliged to answer any questions, but for the record, you didn't answer this one. Perhaps your justification for not answering it is something like "false premise": perhaps you believe that a person's material conditions will necessarily improve as time progresses and overall wealth increases, such that they won't need you to explain to them that they're better off because they'll be able to see it with their own eyes. If that's your belief then I don't even need to offer my counterargument because surely you must already know it by now, I've already made it enough times. But, maybe I'll give you a little hint anyway.

> world GDP per-capita more than doubled in the span on one lifetime

Hint: "per-capita" is an average, which means you're already on shaky ground

> Again, your statements are just factually wrong. Global average living standards have increased

How can my statement about "global average living standards" be wrong when I never made a statement about "global average living standards"?

> The average 70 year old has almost certainly seen drastic improvements over the span of their life.

I assume that by "average 70 year old" what you really mean is "typical 70 year old" as in "representative 70 year old" but that still demands clarification. Where does this typical, representative 70 year old live? What percentage of the world's population do they represent? However many people that is, what about the people left over, the one's whose lives are not represented by this typical 70 year old? How have their living standards changed, if at all? These are really just rhetorical questions to try to get you to think. Don't feel the need to try to answer them.
Thank you Uncle Dane. Uncletopia is my happy place. I know that people say that the solutions to lots of problems are political not technical. But I think in this case there really are simple technical fixes that would be trivial to implement and very effective. Off to W+M1 right now...

The published exploit doesn't clean up after the exploitation to cause a kernel panic intentionally, but I suppose that didn't stop many people...

> The kernel panic (system crash) after running the exploit is a side-effect which deliberately hasn't been fixed to prevent malicious usage of the exploit (i.e. exploitation attempts should now be more noticable, and unpractical in real-world operations). Despite this, it still allows for a working proof-of-concept in lab environments, as the root shell is functional, and persistence through disk is possible.

probably, yes. But coming from LLM scrappers, I have absolutely no faith in any of them. When one of them calls themself "open" in their name and is anything but, why would I trust them for anything after they lie in their name?

I also do not trust Google only crawls what is allowed in robots.txt. Maybe they only use the data allowed in public use, but I have no faith that they don't have crawled data in their version of shadow profiles.

I do not trust bigTech at all, and for those that do, I really don't understand why you do.

This is about banning phones during class or school hours. Even though the war on drugs may have failed the general populace, the prohibition of drugs at schools has been largely successful in preventing drug use from taking place in classrooms and on school property.

This is the same.

This is built on top of Cloudflare D1 as it clearly states but there are few things that I don't like about Cloudflare D1:

You cannot download your SQLite database as is. All you can do is dump an SQL file and when your database sizes are clocking at few GBs (let's say 5), that option is probably not going to work because the query/API also has a time out limit of 30 seconds and that data dumped as SQL (text) takes up way more space than it is in its binary form on disk.

This essentially means that you can kiss your data a goodbye and it is locked in there forever with no hope of getting it back ever as a whole.

For smaller databases, to do lists, note taking, personal expense tracker etc - probably you can live with those limitations.
> Stuff like DRAM storing a 0 or 1 via the presence or absence of 40K electrons

I'd assume that these days it's a couple of orders of magnitude fewer than that (the cited source is from 1996). Incidentally, 40k e- is roughly the capacity of a single electron well ("pixel") in a modern CMOS image sensor [1] – but those 40k electrons are able to represent a signal of up to ~14 bits, around 10k distinct luminance values, depending on temperature and other noise sources.
