Off the top of my head without looking at reference materials - there were a lot of legal issues going on at the time involving AMD/Intel disputes and AMD was on the ropes back then. The 386 project was highly contentious with Intel, I think they started the project as a worse case scenario in the licensing deal - if Intel forbade 386 from the initial contract, AMD could show proof of work on an entirely ground up project to replicate the 386 - the guys on the team were up against a rock and a hard place and were determined but not always optimistic. Also, there was some grumbling when I started because shortly before I started they had some layoffs. AMD was on the brink. This is off of my memory from 25 years ago and I was a pretty lowly coop and only heard this from meals and shared open workspace with the other project.

edit: I looked it up and there was a dispute if the license applied until 1991 for the 386.

Well fortunately for those people it's easy to find construction jobs now, as long as they're willing to relocate.
I have a pet and a child, and I'm not sure what's not to get. A cat or dog lives about 20 years, is magnitudes easier to raise than a child and comes with magnitudes less liability, responsibility and life changes. They are not interchangeable, no matter how much we anthropomorphize them.

That being said, our cat is still family and I would do anything in my power to ensure her well-being and would be absolutely devastated and grieving when she passes.
"Mostly adequate guide to FP (in javascript)". [Don't laugh].

That course takes you into coding from scratch "bind" and "return" for several use-cases, and do a bit of currying.
Very interesting small exercises.

Never forget this - if this were "real" inflation and not corporate fuckery then their profits would be down.
The damage caused by these regulators and media terrorism is far greater than the benefits.
As another user wrote, a few meltdowns would have been much better than the total freeze of plant construction and its price increase.

This is one of those cases where fear blinds people to not accept reality.

First, we need to define what "safe" means. And a safety threshold that is a fair trade-off between public acceptance and the industrial feasibility of the sector.

One might think, sure, increasing safety is always necessary. But we must accept the fact that zero risk does not exist in any technology and will never be completely eliminated in any way. And we already accept the risks of dams and renewables, so it means that a threshold of what is accepted as safe exists, and we can define it.

It seems universally accepted that renewables are "safe." So why not take the deaths per GWh produced and use this value to define a nuclear power plant as safe?

On page 175 (chapter 3.5) of this report compiled by the European Union research center, it shows how third-generation EPRs (modern european reactors) are already several orders of magnitude safer than renewables, per GWh produced. Demonstrating how they are infinitely safer than any other energy source.
https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC1...

Therefore, if we decide to define renewables as safe, we can deduce that modern nuclear power plants are very safe. Yet why is this not perceived?

Obviously, the answer is very simple, the death from installing a panel is an isolated case often limited to a single individual, and often does not make the news. Nuclear, however, even if it causes one death (like Fukushima), is discussed for decades. Besides, the dangers related to the dispersal of radioactive material often cause even more fear than the deaths from the plants themselves, despite rarely having caused tangible damage.

With this said, it's important to note that this fear does not find reflection in the numbers, which remain the reading closest to the reality of the facts.

Finally, from my point of view, even if nuclear were less safe than this, it would still help fight climate change, which should lead to millions of millions of deaths, if not billions. It would be a very logical intellectual step to accept the risks even of a less safe nuclear (and cheaper), because the long-term benefits would definitely be beneficial.
I'm full time remote and have been so for years. The two companies I've worked for since 2020 took the downtime to reconfigure most offices to high capacity open office floorplans. The background noise on zoom calls went from manageable before covid to blissfully low and has returned to cacaphonic new heights.
> people value material possessions more than having babies.

Your example was spending ~$10k/yr on vet bills. Press (X) to doubt, but if you really think babies cost less than this, you are wildly misinformed.
NIT and UBI are equivalent if you take income taxes into account.
I use du-dust over gdu, but otherwise my list is almost identical to yours.
Why is it some shock-horror thing that people worked less? I think, for those who imagine AI taking a vast swath of jobs (like Altman), the aim for basic income is to get people working less but without this resulting social/work disengagement (whether AI will have that effect is a different matter).
Why Delta is still canceling flights as other airlines return to normal
In my 20 mins of searching; it looks like it's CCN3 is produced by humans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOV_(gene)) and presumably humans have the receptors for it as well - though I'm uncertain if the same effect in mice will translate to humans. Since naturally occurring genes and genetic sequences are not patentable even if they don't commercialize you could probably get a 3rd party to make it reasonably cheaply. So if it is found to work I wouldn't even worry about commercialization.
>A couple years ago, I was eager for a return to office.

There's your first mistake.

You're right that recent trends have been bad, but offices have always been like this. There's a reason "this meeting could have been an email" has been a cliche for decades now and even before that the office was generally depicted as a place where you either pretend to work or desperately struggle to get work done in the face of endless pointless bullshit.
Or, heaven forbid, make living near office affordable.
Thanks for the info and links :)
Mostly agree- Economic reasons are do not _fully_ explain falling birthrates.

I think two of the more uncomfortable reasons that don't get discussed might be:

1. The allure/requirements of the modern lifestyle (both people working then limited leisure time) reduce the 'space' for childrearing

2. Depression, a negative outlook about the future, and awareness of the environmental impacts of more people mean adults consciously abstain from having children.
I'm not sure how to address this, but I always wonder how much we can extrapolate the findings from these studies to a universal basic income situation. I feel like giving a small group of people an extra $12000 a year provides benefits for low income people because their yearly income is now higher compared to the median income. Someone who's income is in the 5th percentile may now be in the 10th or 15th percentile (no idea if those numbers are correct).

Once you give everybody an extra $12000 a year, the median income is now $12000 higher. I'm sure there's still some benefit, but relative to others their position hasn't changed. Someone who's yearly income is in the 5th percentile is still earning in the 5th percentile.

I'm concerned about a situation similar to college tuition in the US where easy, risk free money leads to price gouging. Once everyone has an extra $XXXXX how quickly does the market realize that the cost of goods can be raised by that amount.
We'll be writing about why this is for years.

COVID gave people or in many cases made people re-evaluate what's important to them and many people concluded that their work-life balance placed too much importance on work. People had been thinking, what parts of their life were they willing to give up for work, but now the question of what parts of work are they willing to give up for their life is considered a valid, and possible decision.

This decision wasn't made in the abstract; WFH gave people real experience in what they would gain and lose by not going into the office, and what they would gain and lose by not commuting, and in many many cases, the tradeoff was worth it.
I wonder how much does special needs care factor into this increase. That class of care is now radically more expensive.
The prestige dialect in Flanders, as spoken on the main news and public affairs programmes on public television (I don't know about the schools and courts), is already very recognizably different from that in the Netherlands, with its soft "g", slightly different vowels and somewhat different vocabulary. But it is losing terrain fast: the commercial TV channels, and entertainment programmes on public TV, are mostly using a hybrid between Flemish dialects and the (former?) prestige dialect that rather leans towards the Brabant dialect ("tussentaal"). Netherlands Dutch and Flemish Dutch, while still mutually understandable without much effort, have started to diverge more in the last decades. Although I haven't noticed people replying in English yet.
Given describing a child as “it” and only the work involved and not the reward, if you want to dig deeper within yourself I would look at reading positive discussions about kids

There was an instagram comment feed (of all places) where the OP asked people to post what their reservation for kids were, and many parents responded to those positively

The next post asked parents to post what they were surprised most about being a parent. Some common themes were “I was afraid I wouldn’t like/feel attached to my child” and “I was afraid I would resent my child for the time commitment.” For the latter, dozens of responses say that something within them switched, and they wanted to bear the responsibility. It was fulfilling like a hobby may be, but deeper.

Personally I don’t like the rhetoric that describe (others, not you) kids as leeches that take time and money, i think thats toxic to our society.

If you know yourself and know you don’t want kids, then it’s best for everyone involved not to have them.
As long as we get season 3 of Foundation and they don’t leave us hanging I’ll be happy
I'm actually from the UK, just wrote it in dollars since it's a currency I assume everyone knows the value of. I just check SkyScanner and buy from the cheapest reseller. Very recently I had to buy a ticket from Edinburgh to Oslo, it was £45 cheaper to buy it from Trip.com than directly from Norwegian Airlines.

Out of curiosity, I did go and check a bunch of routes that I know Ryanair flies on SkyScanner, and it was cheaper to buy directly from Ryanair. So fair play to them, I'm surprised anyone would buy from a 3rd party when buying direct is cheaper.
Maybe not - neither of these came with TCP/IP out of the box. Windows 3.1 didn't come with networking at all out of the box. (That was an upgrade product.)
Though the article could have done a better job explaining this. It's like a reverse phenomenon of "do as I say, not as I do".

That's probably what the article meant but I'm skeptical that it makes a significant difference in behavior. There are other positive behaviors that "social apex" people say and do but lower income people as a group still don't imitate them. Strictures like "don't use tobacco," "don't impregnate/get impregnated as a teen", "drink unsweetened iced tea instead of Coke," and "use free time to exercise instead of snacking and binge watching" are significantly less popular among low income/status groups than high income/status groups.
1. Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire, which, while better than most of Europe for Jews, was not great; being "better than most of Europe" typically meant "you don't get killed every year" and still allows for significant antisemitism. I am willing to grant that they may not have wanted to be part of the Ottoman Empire, though, and there's little on antisemitic massacres. So I concede that I do not need to hold a grudge against Albania. Thank you, Albania.

2. As for Bulgaria...not deporting Jews to their death for one small period of time != lack of antisemitism in the past few hundred years.

According to the USHMM,[1] Bulgaria's actions in World War Two included:

Instituting laws that, among other things, forbid Jews from marrying non-Jews and restricted where Jews could live and what jobs they could have.

Deporting Jews who were not in Bulgaria pre-war (its borders expanded) to their deaths.

Sending Jews to slave labor camps.
[1]https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/bulgaria

So, no, Bulgaria was antisemitic in the past few hundred years.
It's AWS mostly though we do have multi cloud presence that we're expanding in the next couple of months
You made something cooler with that code than I did :)
It's the experience on Roku. We have a cheap Roku, and it is awful.

On my WebOS TV's, AppleTV works exceptionally well, only Hulu and Netflix beat it in terms of reliability.

Paramount+ on the other hand. Total POS.

I think most people get a partial idea of what Pin is fairly quickly when they try, but that's part of the problem.

They struggle a lot more with Unpin, and particularly the dynamics as code changes. This comes up more often than in probably should in an async context. (re. "should", the problem is it shows up because of closure changes most often, and the errors (last I was teaching) take the user to the wrong place, typically the just need to allocate, but there's no practicum on their error understanding path, see below).

Users are integrating a change of some kind, get a compiler error and then struggle even further to really understand when and how the unpin marker exists, but a change, potentially at a fair distance from the code that they're editing, is now making compilation time demands that they both understand and address the issue.

When those users enter the argument with rustc, they come to a page that starts with:

Implementing the Unpin trait for T expresses the fact that T is pinning-agnostic: it shall not expose nor rely on any pinning guarantees. This, in turn, means that a Pin-wrapped pointer to such a type can feature a fully unrestricted API. In other words, if T: Unpin, a value of type T will not be bound by the invariants which pinning otherwise offers, even when “pinned” by a Pin<Ptr> pointing at it. When a value of type T is pointed at by a Pin<Ptr>, Pin will not restrict access to the pointee value like it normally would, thus allowing the user to do anything that they normally could with a non-Pin-wrapped Ptr to that value.

Now this is reasonable documentation if you're in the thick of this universe, but to the average reader this is full of self-referential definition. When you have a weak understanding of Pin, then Unpin being defined in terms of Pin makes no sense, it's the same as Pin being defined in terms of Pin. All of this documentation needs to shift to a "systems engineering" or "in practice" basis first, and follow with theory. Most users give up with the docs before the second sentence they can't understand.

All of the cleverness (reliance on a priori theory) in the docs for these core types needs to be moved out of the way for most readers - replaced by much simpler terminology and practicum suitable for the average knuckledragger. Normal people who end up here in practice are on average already at saturation point for working memory, they have "no stack space left" for trying to unpack language theory.
Median incomes have outpaced inflation over the last several years.

I wholeheartedly agree. The real reasons are cultural like this, but that's way more complicated to explain than "it's more expensive".

The short answer is cultural fragmentation and soft paternalism.
> in 2023, both parents were more likely to return to work than in 1995

Dual-income households were less prevalent in 2017 (54.4%) than 1998 (56.5%) [1]. Looking at just families, it went up from 2022 to 2023, but I don't see data for 1995 [2].

I haven't seen this mentioned in the comments yet, so I'll mention it here. For the last year, I've seen health pundits (Huberman, etc.) recommend delaying caffeine intake for two hours after waking, for the purpose of allowing adenosine to clear from the brain first.

Ever since I've adopted this strategy, I find myself avoiding a mid-morning crash, and generally feeling more alert in the mornings. I wonder if the deleterious impact on grey matter could be mitigated in part by delaying consumption until fully awake.

You loudly and clearly signaled to everyone that you are not arguing in good faith, so you certainly don't deserve a serious response. All you're doing is parroting ignorant uninformed right wing talking points and childish schoolyard bully epitaphs, and it's a complete waste of time taking you seriously, since you have absolutely nothing useful or interesting to contribute, you don't even believe you own words, and you know very well that it's called the "Democratic Party" yet you went out of your way to make that "mistake" on purpose, and you just parrot what you heard without any thought or evidence, so you've forfeit all rights to expecting a response or being taken seriously.

It's supremely ironic that a Trump supporter like you would get his panties in a twist about somebody other than Trump lying in public.
Thanks. Can you explain why rr is so much more efficient?
Postmarketos is great, far from perfect but making calls and sending sms worked well for me on an op6. My dream is thunderbolt support so I can dock and just use a phone instead of laptop, not sure if any postmarketos phone supports that yet though
But there is a difference between seeing a highly publicized and pervasive media push that there is a huge list of things you must already be good at... vs casually starting a relationship and learning along the way you must do all these things for long term success.

Not to mention there is no indication from women that they will tolerate the few things you need to learn about and improve.

This is why more just give up prematurely.
Yes, too expensive. In fact I think your “Starbucks and annual vacation” analysis dramatically underestimates the cost of kids.

You need space for kids, meaning your 1 bed apartment isn’t gonna cut it. Look at the cost of housing these days.

You will need to pay for childcare. This could easily be $1000 per month for the first 5 years.

Transportation. You may need to get a larger vehicle. Plus food, clothing, healthcare.

Oh and then there’s tuition costs.

To summarize, this country has done approximately nothing to make childcare more accessible lately and is wondering why kids don’t magically appear.

> There are plenty of poor countries having children

You’ve hit the nail on the head. In an advanced economy, making a worker costs more. We have offloaded this cost onto parents, and wonder why parents aren’t doing it as much.
Buses are only slow and inconsistent because of cars.
There is also opportunity cost.

If a couple has 20k+ to spend a year on child care, that means they have enough free money that they can do a lot of other enjoyable things instead.

Airplane fares keep decreasing, destination vacations are becoming more and more affordable, and "everyday luxuries" keep being pushed down into becoming more affordable.

Or to put it another way, having a kid means a serious drop in QoL compared to being a DINK.

60 years ago this didn't matter, even the upper middle class wasn't jetting off around on a regular basis. Also it wasn't as socially acceptable, all your friends were having kids and if you didn't have kids you were missing out. Compared to now when there are basically two parallel societies, families with kids and families without kids, and one can choose which group to be a part of.
This comes off as quite a reductionist response. Beyond the biological, there’s the question of why people don’t want to start families
Buses can be very dependable and cheaper than rail if they run in dedicated bus lanes.

You’re right that they aren’t much use if they get stuck in the same traffic as everyone else.
Don't forget access to a fridge full of food that you picked, and a separate space to prepare it for lunch if you choose to do so.
I would be interested to hear from Indian, Philipino or other off- near- shore locations. Is this “give me WFH or give me death” actually just USA/European entitlement and Chennai Devs will gleefully work in air-conditioned offices (hopefully not open plan cubicle hell but nicely designed “WeWork-like” places) and discover the turbo-charge of a co-located mission locked team?

Are we Western Devs about to learn a very hard lesson?
Weird thing is, you'd think Google+Meta would have enough pull to fix this in areas like SF Bay because they could literally build their own city and wreck the entire Bay Area economy...
You can save minutes of talking to folks through Months of work and tens of thousands of people-hours building something people don't want or need.

To be fair Asimov himself kept us hanging with the books and only completed the series (making it worse imo), just because the commercial publishers wanted the money.

Sometimes less is more.
I routinely had issues with Apple TV and Roku, where content would freeze or the audio would stutter. It was stochastic but ultimately unwacheable.
I'm the opposite from you. I would rather light my hair on fire than do anything in person with anyone on my team.

I was no less productive working from home during the pandemic, a metric I can back up with completed user stores and completed projects.

If you want to go back into the office then please, by all means, as that's clearly the place that you work better in, but don't force people who are less efficient in the office to come into the office.
I remember when Adobe demoed this idea of being able to edit waveforms by the recognized text back in 2016 and it was pretty mind blowing for the time.

EDIT: I could also definitely see Audapolis being useful if you could integrate it into a podcast's post processing flow (volume normalization, de-essing) by recognizing certain verbal tics and automatically removing them from the audio such as "ummmm...", etc.
you're right, people aren't having kids because they are not inspired. that is one of the main reasons. but that's not economics, it's philosophical and theological
Recent studies show a strong correlation between oral health and total lifespan. Although it could just be correlation (the same practices that lead to healthy overall health also apply to oral health)
> Does having children impact their earning potential?

it certainly did in my case. Holding a newborn and realizing an actual life depends on you is good motivation to do what it takes to get better as a whole, earn more, and climb the ladder. It wasn't easy but i'm in a much better financial position with kids than i would be without. I know myself pretty well and i'm sure i'd be in the same apartment doing the same thing day after day year after year like my childless friends. No knock on them but i've grown my income way more than they have and I credit family obligations for forcing my hand.
There was nothing blaming women in that post. Get some reading comprehension please.
