Nothing wrong with population decline. This is concern with the derivative of population decline.

We are about to live through an inverted black plague where the population goes down the rollercoaster, every industry is disrupted because of no labor force, BUT the vast majority of people left are old instead of young and fit (after the plague).

I’m surprised Hollywood hasn’t jumped at the opportunity to portray what’s about to happen.
I'm not sure that's true; it's possible for a woman to desperately want a baby, but still have a low libido and have little interest in sex just for fun.
That's not a full explanation for these companies being valuable though. Only flight planning makes use of commercial weather forecasts - the actual decisions (take off or delay, land or redirect to alternate?) are made by the pilots based on reports made by the airports themselves, usually based on their respective national forecaster's reports. Commercial pilots don't just bring up weather.com on their iPad on final approach, although their dispatcher might well have used a more sophisticated version of the same thing hours before the flight set off.

P.S. It's easy find online versions of the reports that pilots get over the radio. Here's an example with explanation for Boston Logan International, USA: https://aviationweather.gov/data/metar/?id=KBOS&hours=0&deco...

Summary:

> The aircraft took off from Runway 09 with a thrust setting significantly below that required to
achieve the correct takeoff performance. Rotation for the takeoff occurred only 260 m before
the end of the runway and the aircraft passed over the end at a height of approximately
10 ft. The N1
required to achieve the required takeoff performance was 92.8% but, following
an A/T disconnect when the crew selected TOGA, 84.5% was manually set instead. Despite
an SOP requirement to check the thrust setting on takeoff, the crew did not realise that the
thrust was not set correctly until after the takeoff although they had noted how close to the
end of the runway they were.
The A/T had disconnected when the TOGA switch was pressed due to a fault with the ASM
associated with the thrust lever for engine 1. This disconnect was a known issue with the
older type ASMs fitted to the aircraft type. The manufacturer has issued a Fleet Team Digest
for operators detailing the issue and the SB for replacing the ASMs with a newer model.
Yes, circumstances change over generations. However we still are wealthier and healthier than ever. If your goal is to raise a family, it's fairly easy in most first world countries to move to a quiet area, have kids and get a non career job. If you wish to "have your cake and eat it too", life is going to be harder because you made that choice.
for a few reasons:children allow you to fulfill a whole new role in life, its a duty to pass on the gift of life, and family is important. people have lived through much worse
Perhaps the government could directly incentivize dating apps to create “good” matches by including an optional field on marriage registrations indicating on which app, if any, the couple met. The government could then pay the companies directly a kind of bounty per couple (or tax credit or something).

Unlike other incentive systems, I feel like this one would be harder to abuse since there’s a fair amount of friction to getting married.
Feynman's Razor
Actually, for most of history it was common for everyone to simply WORK AT HOME, as farmers. And that was a job for whole family, including children as young as 6 years old.
Companies want you hire you and for you to bring your existing knowledge, skills, and understanding to build a product.

Then they want you to not use the knowledge, skills, and understanding to build a product when you aren't working for them.

This is hypocritical and self-contradictory. They require you to do the very thing they don't want you to do, just as long as it's in their favor.
Another option is starting a newsletter, which feels more suited for a writer to gather readers (when compared to gather “followers” on any social media).

Full disclaimer: I believe that so much that (as a fellow beginner writer) I created a “newsletter” platform more suited for fiction writers to slowly form an audience of readers owning the mailing list.

https://writer.confabulists.com

You still have to keep writing constantly (essays, short stories, chapters of a novel, or even some communication of what you are doing) but it feels more natural for writers to write than to keep posting cute pictures, hot takes or creative short videos.

Also, I added the concept of “books” in my platform, so new subscribers to your newsletter start reading your old stuff (not only your future posts).

Having a newsletter also is very satisfying that you keep some contact with people that like what you write, no matter how few they are.
Practicing Catholic here, Alcholism _is_ Gluttony FYI. Consuming too much of _anything_ is considered Gluttony and more to your point, it's not really ignored.

That being said, its one of the capital vices and many people focus on the mortal sins first since venial sins can be curbed easier.

There's often discussions about it at Churches, especially during Lent.
This was very important with classical machine learning, now with deep learning, feature engineering became useless as the model can learn the relevant features by itself.

However, having a quality and diverse dataset is more important now than ever.
Low libido is evolutionarily informed to also signal that now is not the right time to procreate.

In this light, it’s not surprising that hormonal birth control, which tells the body it can’t have a baby now, very often reduces libido.
In the garbage language that we dont use anymore. Right? Right!? :)
I had a similar idea some time ago but didn't implement due to its complexity and the need to juggle different parameters. On top of that, I don't think there are any guarantees when it comes to privacy. Your users will have to trust that no mistake will be made in handling the raw data or the preprocessed data and that no malicious actor will be able to access the original weights.

You should instead try looking into Homomorphic Encryption:

It is resource intensive and slower but it serves your purpose better, in my opinion.
The rarity here cannot be overstated. I enjoy stories like this - in the same way someone who enjoys true crime doesn't actually support murder - and they're heavily overreportd but quite uncommon.

If you want to let your kids go out and play it's unlikely you'll have issue. I suspect for many it's just an excuse to plonk their kids in front of the iPad all day.

Sanitizers don't do what Rust does, and static analyzers cannot make C memory safe. You would have an easier time of bolting a borrow checker onto a subset of C++ than what you're thinking of, IMO.
Well, that is a good question. It’s a concept I’ve always just taken for granted. How do you define it? I don’t know.

Admittedly the original intended purpose of the stock market might not have been control but that's certainly a big feature of it now.

Unless you are already ultra wealthy there is little to gain from individuals entering the stock market directly.

It's a vehicle for those with power and/or money to gain more power/money by siphoning it from everyone who isn't them.

Yes, but usually one baby is enough to satisfy that drive, which is not enough to keep the population from shrinking. And recently some women decide to have 0 babies, and settle for a dog or cat instead. I've heard them using terms like "dog-child" or "cat-child", or "cross-species family" :)
The Mamba application is my current research project so I haven’t published anything yet. But the basic idea is to create a latent representation of the static features, repeat the latent vector to form a time series, concatenate with the weather/occupancy time series, run through mamba layers, and bob’s your uncle. Shoot me an email (in my bio) if you would like to chat more!

I can also share my master’s thesis which is similar but using CNN layers rather than Mamba and only for monthly predictions rather than 15-min interval data. There are some other architectural differences but the basics are the same. That work is also globally robust.

As you can imagine, the current work I am doing at a much higher resolution is a big step up, and Mamba so far is working out great.
Blaming Boeing and only Boeing is intellectual dishonesty, blaming the pilots for failing to fly their plane is also necessary. Remember, TOGA and autothrottle are not necessary for safe flight.

It is also explicitly a pilot's job to manage the engines among many other things. It's why there are two pilots in the cockpit, one is in control of the aircraft while the other is keeping tabs on secondary and tertiary needs like radios and cross checking instruments with the pilot in control.

If the aircraft isn't accelerating properly, it is the pilots' job to respond including rejecting the takeoff before it's too late. Takeoff is by far the most stressful part of a flight for the engines, if the pilots are not keeping close tabs on the engines during takeoff then they are fundamentally unfit to fly.

Blaming Boeing and only Boeing is dishonest and doesn't address the problem, but it does pay the medias' bills by stoking the furor of readers such as yourself.
We had children of men which I guess is a dramatisation of what is happening
It's amazing that Boeing planes are still allowed in the air at all at this point.

> For static pages, regular HTML and CSS will be sufficient.

Not if we are talking about productivity, as asked here. HTML is rather simple to learn, but can be annoying enough to write. And let's not start talking about CSS is for a beginner...

Using some flavor of markdown and convert it to html would be far more productive. There is enough software around for enabling people a fast start, and you have the option to still enhance it with html&css (probably javascript too?).
To understand monads, imagine you're in the middle of an infinite ocean. The ocean represents possibilities, and each wave represents a choice. Monads are invisible fish that you can't see but guide your boat. You don't know where you're going, and the fish don't either. Sometimes, they lead you to islands of coconuts, but other times they take you to whirlpools. You have a magical net that catches these fish, but the net has holes, so not all fish stay. Monads are these fish that might or might not help you navigate the infinite ocean, depending on whether they feel like it.

> At this point I almost weekly have to review the full context on a pr to make sure my fix won’t break some historical use case that isn’t immediately obvious.

I'd argue tests are much better to guard against accidentally breaking contracts, since they can tell you when that happens, and even why it's important that it doesn't. If that doesn't work, code comments are also good, since they are immediately attached to the relevant code, even if it's refactored and moved elsewhere. "// this looks wrong but " is pretty common in my code.

Warnings in commit messages may be irrelevant, and the deprecation notice may not appear in the same "git annotate".

Especially for projects with any sort of longevity, the commit log is an awfully large haystack to keep such important needles in.
PID 0 on most academic Unixs used for teaching operating system design still swap out the entire process, and call into the memory subsystem ("paging") to do so.

Linux is not the owner of the concept of PID 0. Saying that PID 0 frequently is involved with paging in and out memory is not incorrect.

The risk of dying while flying in a light plane is reasonably high.

The risk of dying from a light plane crashing into you while you are on the ground is negligible.
I almost exclusively read fiction, in particular science fiction. Why? Because the authors often spend a great deal of time thinking about new, interesting technology and ideas. It is all based on reality, the ideas are new combinations of existing concepts, and could be applied in the real world to inspire innovation.

I get enough of the real world in the real world, when I read, I want see something new
For a lot of devs, that would exacerbate burnout.

I, for one, dabble in small, focused FOSS projects to keep myself sane in a world where working on a team on a feature-creeping project is the norm.
note: standardized tests are the chemotherapy of academic performance. still hurts almost everyone, just don't have a better solution.

dropping them without a replacement was a bad solution. and now its being presented as a false dilemma against having them, fictionally presented as the only two possible solutions

amusing, since its supposed to be an intelligence test, but intelligent people are falling for the false dilemma
Honestly, I doubt the author is playing the “deep game” of looking like they’re just messing around while secretly being a secret agent and (for some fathomless reason) making it look like it with an artificial git history.

So in general, yes, but in this case, I doubt it. I’m pretty sure this git history is a real and true log of them dicking about trying to get the exploit they saw on twitter working.

But you do because your local node_modules and upstream are out of sync and CI is broken. Happens at least once a month just before a release of course. I'd rather have my code failing locally than trying to debug what's out of sync on upstream.
I would argue that those works are at least decent or at least on some level competent. They might not have too much some vague artistic merit. But they are unlikely be completely unacceptable. Like no major consistent spelling or typographical issues, mostly coherent and consistent plot and so on.

Not sure why the Tokyo Metropolitan Government would need that info to begin with. They're going to have most of that on file already.
Yes.

A numpy program will work tomorrow.

ALL of the machine learning frameworks have incredible churn. I have code from two years ago which I can't make work reliably anymore -- not for lack of trying -- due to all the breaking changes and dependency issues. There are systems where each model runs in its own docker, with its own set of pinned library versions (many with security issues now). It's a complete and utter trainwreck. Don't even get me started on CUDA versions (or Intel/AMD compatibility, or older / deprecated GPUs).

For comparison, virtually all of my non-machine-learning Python code from the year 2010 all still works in 2024.

There are good reasons for this. Those breaking changes aren't just for fun; they're representative of the very rapid rate of progress in a rapidly-changing field. In contrast, Python or numpy are mature systems. Still, it makes many machine learning models insanely expensive to maintain in production environments.

If you're a machine learning researcher, it's fine, but if you have a system like an ecommerce web site or a compiler or whatever, where you'd like to be able to plug in a task-specific ML model, your downpayment is a weekend of hacking to make it work, but your ongoing rent of maintenance costs might be a few weeks each year for each model you use. I have a million places I'd love to plug in a little bit of ML. However, I'm very judicious with it, not because it's hard to do, but because it's expensive to maintain.

A pure Python + numpy implementation would mean that you can avoid all of that.

This idea resonated well:

Writing code for free is charity.

I always saw creating open source code akin to being a plumber or carpenter who applied their hard earned knowledge and worked for free in homes they chose.

A plumber who works for free is a rare thing to see, however in software it seems lots of people _expect_ it to be created like that. Not uncommon at all to see comments in HN saying that "oh well if it's not OSS I won't try this software you're showing off". Try saying to a carpenter that if they don't give away their new chairs for free, you wouldn't even start to think of getting one! :)

But then, if you care about the "right to repair" (so to speak) of your software, well at least use a strong copyleft, not a permissive license that basically grant the permission to "steal".
In theory India has sort of done it with UPI. Cost have been distributed across govt/banks/tech firms that make the apps and the end user who pays for the internet and phone. Whether its sustainable or not time will tell.

I disagree that they work well. A quick search of the CVE database will find many vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by rewriting in a memory safe language. Ideally, it should be done. However, rewriting those large projects would be a very difficult task, so it's probably not the best use of resources when there are still relatively easy security improvements available, such as implementing OpenBSD's pledge/unveil system.

>My use of "aside" was supposed to indicate that it was not critical to your core point that you re-emphasise here.

Your aside, while not critical, was also no true. The time between sequential discharging of a battery is 24 hours, not 12. The time between charging and discharging is irrelevant, just how many times you do it a year.

I think you are also misinterpreting the parent post. I think they are intentionally providing [money]/[power]. This is a common format when talking about the cost of installed grid capacity.

I should have converted your watt-hour numbers to [money]/[power] and used to for better comparison.

>For comparison, this graph suggests PV is usually about 3 times that and nuclear usually around 10-11 times that:

LCOE is a radically different form of calculation than what you used, and not comparable. It takes into account many other factors, most notably the time value of money.
