> Gen Z men have been becoming more and more conservative politically, maybe it also translates into more conservative views on drugs and alcohol.

i'm not sure that's the right way to read that.

if you cut out the extremes (of the content Gaussian) you see that much content geared towards GenZ males is of self-care nature: go to the gym, take care of your own body, avoid alcohol and other drugs, take care of your mental health and go to therapy if you can, read philosophy.

it's a beautiful change since i was a teenager (~15 years ago), way much healthier than what i was exposed to as a teenager.

it's not problems-free of course, but still, i view it as positive change.
Anything to do with Zionism is a great starting point.
Yeah, same thought. Their attractiveness for laundering money may be diminishing.
To put this another way: the Rust borrow checker attempts to tie memory lifetime to stack frames.

This tends to work well for most crud api servers, since you allocate “context, request, and response” data at the start of the handler function, and deallocate at the end. Most helper data can also be tied to the request lifecycle. And data is mainly isolated per-request. Meaning there isn’t much data sharing across multiple request.

This means that the borrow checker “just works”, and you probably won’t even need lifetime annotations or even any special instructions for the borrow checkers. It’s the idealized use case the borrow checker was designed for.

This is also the property which most GC languages like Java, Go, and C# exploit with generational garbage collectors. The reason it “works” in Java happens to be the same reason it works in Rust.

If your server does need some shared in-memory data, you can start by just handing out copies. If you truly need something more complicated, and we are talking about less than 10% of crud api servers here, then you need to know a thing or two about the borrow checker.

I’m not saying to rewrite web servers in Rust, or even advocating for it as a language. I’m just pointing out that a crud api server is the idealized use case for a borrow checker.
Would be real nice being the open source option to not have their communications locked to proprietary services (Discord, Microsoft GitHub’s forge + discussions) & had alternatives mirrored/bridged.
He means that they messed up by investing in their children and providing them a good life instead of putting everything in an index fund. They didn't realize the rug pull they were about to eat.
I am a PCP who runs utilization reviews for our provider group. I review every ED utilization for every patient attributed to a PCP in our network. My job is to try to reduce inappropriate ED utilization.

I have no idea what reduces utilization.

There's major shortage of primary care doctors. Most med students don’t want to go into primary care. Plus, hiring new doctors is not as easy as it sounds… even if there were an excess of doctors looking for jobs, you have to have clinic space and staff in order to run a practice.

Specialists are in the same boat, post-COVID. Having to ref some pts to neurology with a 6+ month wait.
Sorry for the 2000 price mark, seems like the base version costs 1300$.

In my personal experience, my parents (not super tech savvy) always had a windows laptop and never had a specific windows issue due to updates and whatever. If they did, it's more app specific, not necessarily os specific.

In general, I (personally) disagree with the statement that macs require less maintenance than windows or Linux, I use a mac for work, and I have a fair share of app related issues just like I would on a Windows or Linux machine. It's just my opinion.
> But the difference is important: when you are falling down, you are in freefall, you don't experience any acceleration in spacetime. It is the surface of the earth that is experiencing acceleration towards you.

What if we replace the Earth in that scenario with another person? Alice and Bob are in empty space both in free fall. They each measure the relative velocity of the other and find that it is zero.

Sometime later they again measure relative velocity and now it is non-zero. Each sees that the other is now moving toward them.

Sometime later they measure again, and see that other is moving toward them even faster.

Since they are both in free fall, by your argument neither is experiencing any acceleration. But if no one is experiencing acceleration where do the velocity changes come from?
moats are huge deal, and to some extent, priceless. it's why these profitless start-ups are sometimes valued so richly. Look how much $ Microsoft burned over the past 20 years competing against Google.
For a decade. That works out to $10 a month. Not a bad deal.
One of the big draws of go is ease of deployment. A single self contained binary is easy to package and ship, especially with containers.

I don’t think Java has any edge when it comes to deployment.
I think iMacs end up where someone wants a computer to look nice (either personally or professionally). You could have these in a none tech environment and they will look good.
Get rid of the weird cipher cascade and replace it either with XAES-GCM or ChaPoly. Do some research into how to handle large ciphertexts with a chunking construction. Use a well-defined construction; don't invent your own.
This looks really cool!

What's the "up/down" key in the bottom row, centre, between the 2 return/enter keys? (I ask because my "dream" keyboard would have a thumbwheel just below/between the 2 spaces bars on an Alice layout keyboard) EDIT: it's a toggle key.

The different heights and layout look interesting; did you perform any statistical examination of which symbol keys were most used? Are you intending on using QMK layers to enter the extra symbols?

Can your fingers accurately hit all those modifier keys? Does that layout lead to less or more pinky usage? (I'm terrible at hitting other keys, I'm just a clumsy person)
It's clearly a niche segment...

On one hand, companies willing to spend more than $250 on monitors will rather give you a 32" ultra-wide, because that's more useful to the typical office monkey worker.

On the other, the PC enthusiast customer base is almost synonymous to gamers, who'd rather want high refresh rates than a silly 5K resolution they cannot use.
I don't think one can reasonably claim that in English "words are mostly pronounced how they're written". I mean, "i" can stand for /i/, /ɪ/, or /aɪ/, for example (and also for /ə/ if you don't count "ir" as a distinct grapheme). Although vowels at least (mostly) follow some predictable patterns based on syllables - but e.g. it's impossible to say whether "ch" stands for /k/, /tʃ/, /ʃ/, or /x/ without knowing the etymology of the word.
Bluesky is thriving! They mentioned it one time, just to say that Jack quit, and nothing more. But don't sleep on Bluesky...
And then we would’ve come full circle.

Not in the article, but the body of work (that you're clearly familiar with).

If you believe the Fed/ability-of-the-Fed to smooth the boom/bust cycle, then you disagree with Hayek -- he wasn't (just) arguing for a generally free market -- he believed that all markets were perfect (especially/including the price value of Money).

It turned out Keynes was right.
If you can demonstrate the cost is coming directly from the action, it can only be described as fair. I mean, in an apolitical way.

In the US in particular, so many costs of automobiles are externalized that they genuinely appear to be a decent deal. They're not of course, we just pay for them through other esoteric routes instead of on the sticker.
I appreciate this is intellectually lazy but is there a tl;dr? It’s a clickbait headline followed by a conversation that’s, at least initially, not good at conveying context.
I think it’s because there are less illegal weed dealers. Which means there are less people willing to sell to kids. Basically making it legal has made it harder for kids to get.
Thanks! That seems like a minor issue because in both cases you still use usb-c on the computer end. However it will certainly be nice to not need to have 3 different kinds of cables, and have everything just take usb-c at some point. Although I'll bet they'll have a new usb connector right about the time the usb-a and lightning devices finally start to disappear.
Suggestion: Costco sell car batteries for ridiculously low prices, because they don't include installation. I recently got one for my Kia Telluride and it was $100 cheaper than any competition (because all competitions include the installed price). Installing is as easy but can feel intimidating to people: Could be another source of income for your app.
Once upon a time Facebook told you about friends' parties so you could go out and have fun. It also told you your friends' "status," giving you something to ask them about when you see them.

That version of Facebook added to my social life and happiness so much! Unfortunately it didn't make enough money or something, and got turned into political ragebait and ads.
> From the Dutch and North American data Amatuni studied, he also found that users of sharing platforms do not significantly reduce their driving. "And if they do, they often take buses and trains, which are not emission-free," he says.

I'm left confused as to how many people reduce their driving and how much. The first sentence claims the users don't "significantly" reduce. The second sentence claims that some do, though they instead use the famously planet-killing buses and trains.

I think it is fair to say that large cities are more likely to cater to those who are unique, but large cities return to the same problem again: Everything is far away and you have to get into vehicle (granted, it might be a publicly operated one) to reasonably be able to engage with it. The chances of your neighbour being of the same unique blend that you seek is no greater in the city than in the country.

At which point it really makes no difference if you physically reside within city limits or live in a suburban/rural area as the time and effort to get to the places that cater to your particular niche approaches being about the same in all cases. In fact, in my experience, it is often easier to access the amenities of a large city when you don't live in it!
All such rules seem designed for a person not engaging their brain.

Is this "the same" thing? If so - extract and reference. Or is it "a different" thing which is superficially similar? Then don't.

Knowing when two things are one thing or one thing is two things is most of our job, right?
Are the footnotes in a different font or fontsize? If so, then the bounding box for footnote words should be smaller. Perhaps that can help with categorization.
In the Netherlands there is a funny situation in which the farmers don't want to live next to the immigrants that they need.

Slavery was a terrible thing but at least there was the deal that the masters had to house, clothe and feed their slaves. The government wasn't gonna do it for you.
In modern capitalism everyone wants to escape their responsibilities.
"Don't rely on a single cipher" is an anti-goal, and a reason your hobby project won't be taken seriously. You'd be better off striking it from the list.

"Zero dependencies" is also not especially reassuring, as it implies you're using your own cipher implementations (or reference implementations).
Currently focusing on making my main app the best YouTube productivity tool ever.

https://www.you-tldr.com

It initially was a simple youtube transcript + summarizer but I've added a bunch of more features. My goal is to make it the tool that lets a user go from video to insight in the shortest amount of time.

Would love any feedback and ideas around this!
What does the model say about this post?
The unfortunate part is that these aren't for sale yet and we don't know how they actually compare to the existing LG 5k or Apple Studio display. It is nice to see more options coming to market.
In honor of election season, I hope I can use the 'priority messages' stuff to better filter the political spam I get.
When I was growing up in the 1980s in the US, anti-smoking campaigns were everywhere all the time every day: on TV, in magazines, posters, etc. A lung damaged by lifetime smoking was a common visual.

So I don't think that information is much more accessible, broadly speaking, though Internet access has certainly increased the amount of information on the topic that's readily accessible.

The shift in attitude could be owing to other factors, or maybe it just took time for the warnings to sink in, i.e. generationally.
Why not exactly?

Vapes are edge and easy enough to get.

Weed is popular among millennials, which are now the “cringe” generation so there’s that as well.

Weed just isn’t as cool as it was before.
The Supergraph Manifesto
Sure, but until people actually have real data that’s just supposition. If a Java rewrite went from 1300MB to, say, 500MB they’d have a valid point and optimizing for RAM consumption is severely contrary to mainstream Java culture.
I'm in JVM land. I spend very little time dealing with the build system. It is actually insane how well it works.

Also, why does it matter how long it takes to publish a library for the first time? It sounds like a non-issue to me. I have written dozens of libraries and published them to a local artifactory instance because it simply doesn't matter if your company specific code is accessible to the world or not.
I could certainly see that. Now I'm wondering what someone would have bought with these pennies when they were actually coin of the realm.

Edit: per an up level comment, 15 chickens or half a knife? Hmm, chickens are easy the knife isn't. (wide variability in knife pricing). Given that the 'collectible' value has increased beyond the monetary value.
The modern american conservative movement is becoming decoupled from the practice of evangelical christianity (which is the origin of republican teetotaling) even as it becomes more closely aligned with its policy goals. So I'm not sure I'd expect to see this connection hold with young conservatives. It might though, but I can't find anything reputable looking at it directly.
Psychology's Replication Crisis Is Running Out of Excuses (2018)
It's almost becoming a bother of how accurate the rumors are becoming now a days. With this release they were spot on with the 16gb min ram and no change in screen size.

I am not building LLMs on my computer (I wish :)) but I do use my iMac for both work and photography. Lightroom slugs big time on my 2019 iMac. My dream spec for the next iMac would be:

- bring back the 27" form factor

- dumb down use as monitor. My work computer has disabled file & screen sharing so current methods dont work. I just want to plug my work macbook using a cable or wireless and use the imac as a display.
In addition to the phoneme problem, it's about readability. Yes, really.
The first time I saw わたし written as 私 I just about instantly remembered the latter (it is, after all, used constantly in writing). That kanji is much easier and faster to read than the corresponding hiragana, and it was like that from way back when I had just started learning Japanese. I still have a way to go.. learning a language at my age turns out to be quite slower than when I was younger.. but everything is just easier to read, as soon as one's able to read something in kanji instead of hiragana. The latter is hard and slow to read, even though it's such a simple character system to learn.
I mean, they were right to be fans of Sulfur dioxide injection into the atmosphere. And so far ahead of their time!
I'm currently working on a programming language that will probably be very boring in practice (Algol/Pascal structure, C-ish syntax, traits/typeclasses but only modules can be generic, not sure if GC or borrow checking but probably a hybrid).

The idea is to have something efficient enough, with the least amount of implementation complexity (including codegen), and still being nice to use, which is a really interesting balancing act.

For example, instead of implementing loop optimizations I could add APL-style broadcasting; I could make a complicated but efficient GC runtime or a complicated but efficient borrow checker, but I could also make both a dumb GC and a dumb borrow checker that somehow complement each other.

It's kind of a researchy language, but not trying to be new or interesting. Just "globally simple".

Most features are in an theoretical design phase, but I'm currently working on a new backend (LLVM is too fancy to count, QBE is too basic).
Really... I've run it for a few minutes and couldn't get networking lol but it ran in a single window, I guess I need to look into how to use it like that, would be useful sometimes.
I'm researching and writing a paper on Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computer architecture. I'm focused on comparing the advantages/limitations of three different qubit modalities: superconducting, trapped ion, and neutral atom.
I've wondered if a camera you "show" your groceries to as you unpack them would be enough to track incoming items accurately.

Or a couple of cameras around the kitchen, with an ML setup that recognizes both incoming food items, and their use in cooking. Then it could give you notifications/calendar items on things expiring :)
If you wanted a similarly spec'd display for a Mac, what would you get instead? (what is the non-idiot alternative?)
Teens are basically doing less of everything because of the phones. Alcohol, sex, getting a drivers license, going to movies, basically any activity you could name has declined rapidly starting around 2012 when phones became ubiquitous.
I can't help but feel these languages are just silly, or at least very badly designed. Maybe in the future, when AI is good enough to translate everything in real time, we will just find a language that is best and teach children that instead. It would save a lot of headaches, and probably also cure dyslexia.
Since this thread seems to be about niche asks for pro users, despite the product being targeted towards casual users who want an easy out of the box experience, I'll add my own to the mix.

I'd love a bigger/better screen on these, specifically an ultrawide variety. An iMac Pro with an 8k ultrawide would be a near-instant purchase for me. I find the ultrawide form factor so good for productivity. I love the apple "it just works" approach to their hardware, so if something was fully integrated I'd jump on it immediately.

Today I use a 49" CRG9, but the input and connection setup is somewhat finicky. Not a huge blocker, but it would be lovely to be able to simplify.
But why? Any money that will be embezzeled by Trump would go directly to him not his public company where he has to share the loot with his co-investors.

Trump has been a public figure for many years now and exclusively posted on Truth but money failed to come in, I don't see how a Trump Presidency will change that, also considering he would not need to win anymore he'd probably just slack and collect corruption fees through his LLCs
What part of the constitution specifically?
You can't safely encrypt without authentication, so you do indeed need it.
Well by virtue of the fact that they've sold these un-repairable/ un-openable macs for 3 years now, and they're refreshing it instead of killing the product - all these things indicate consumers like the current approach
Currently resolution is hardcoded, but sure, can be done. Also need to figure out things like changing language/keyboard layout or using IME, to be able to type text properly. Sending mouse cursor picture from server to client may be nice too, in case a game uses hardware cursor and changes it's appearance, like some RTS games - currently mouse cursor is just being baked into video frames. Many possible improvements!

I am really confused by "non-commercial" as well. Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald were professional writers in the modern sense. Hemingway started off as a newspaper reporter. F. Scott Fitzgerald was a Hollywood screenplay writer.
Yeah I found that hilarious as well. Fact is they have my VIN number and all that information, so I didn't really give them anything new except for my browser fingerprinting associated with my VIN.

Which is something.

> This is why the "no sql" family of databases see more predictable results for a lot of uses. If you can't do complicated queries, then you don't have that peril to worry about.

Can't you also just, well, not use complicated SQL queries?
These problems in popular science communication seem to come down to a disconnect between what gets audiences excited (unexpected results! surprising data!) and what the process of science actually looks like (you need to take extra care with unexpected results and surprising data). The process of doing good science and the process of getting audiences excited about new science seem to be fundamentally at odds. This isn't new - the challenges where the same when I was reading Scientific American as a kid 30 years ago.

It's tough, because communicating science in all it's depth and uncertainty is tough. You want to communicate the beauty and excitement, but don't want to mislead people, and the balance there just seems super hard to find.

Lucky you! I hope your kids are also as lucky as they age.

The point seems to be that it’s extremely risky. Your decision to have kids outweighs, in the long run, most any other moral decision you make.
This reminds of the time I decided to teach one of my kids about computer programming, and suggested we write a program to solve a rubik's cube as an example (rubik's cubes were popular at her school at the time). Only after we had written a really simple depth-first search did I realize that it would take several lifetimes to run. Great lesson, but not the one I meant to impart!
Stiglitz specifically wrote about minimal interventions of e.g. just supporting/hosting (reliable) information exchanges.
His proof showed that there were some markets where there was no value for any individual player to "pay" for the information needed to improve a market, so it stayed bad. Stiglitz' career definitely moved in a direction of more interventionist policies (of which I'm probably more sympathetic than you to some/many of them).

Are you suggesting that I'm trying to curry political favor with...Stiglitz (or someone else)?

The cybercab prototypes had differential wheel sizes, which makes a lot more sense if it was really the prototype of a sporty small car. The whole show seems like an undercooked pivot.
