They’re F2P, but the social pressure from your friends to buy the next skin, mini game and etc. completely normalizes the behaviour as you grow up. Then you take it as a “usual thing” and don’t bat an eye when a game you buy also has different skins in the game.

At least that was my perception when I played Call of Duty with my younger family members.

> Surely you can see the damage this would do to the majority of children currently being told they are "gifted"?

We don't have to call it "gifted", we can call it "accelerated" or "ahead of their age" or whatever else you want

The point is that while they may not become exceptional adults, if they are exceptional for an 8 year old it is doing them a disservice to keep them at the same level as all of the other kids their age

> Being "gifted" until the 6th, 7th, or 8th grade would psychologically cripple a lot of these kids through high school

I don't think you can claim this without evidence.

And no, people whine-blogging online about being a former gifted kid and now a depressed and anxious failure is not evidence
Having this strong of an opinion on something you admittedly don't understand (the appeal of podcasts) is not a great choice. Maybe ask people instead of making up stuff.

A temporary hold like that only seems just to me in a case where someone had been charged with a crime and the money is alleged too be evidence or proceeds of that crime. Civil forfeiture is a way for the government to enforce criminal laws with a lower standard of proof and fewer protections for the accused. That's a bad thing.
Within a couple years it'll be possible to provide kids with AI personal tutors that are better than the vast majority of public school teachers. Parents smart enough to capitalise on this are going to reap huge benefits, while kids trapped in the public school system will fall further and further behind.

I went to a mennonite wedding once several years ago. One thing that I had no appreciation for before that was how splintered the overall community was. LOTS of tiny little "denominations" as you put it, eac based off of what seemed to this outsider as the most minor of differences. The wedding itself was a Big Deal in the larger community because it the bride & groom were from communities that normally were barely on speaking terms due to their faith differences.

I thought this was absolutely fascinating considering how the outside world barely understands the larger differences, like amish vs mennonite, and tends to lump the entirety of the Anabaptist community into a single bin.
I agree "beginning to" is the wrong phrase. After all, Pokemon is 25 years old and among the most popular fictional worlds. I actually mean they are increasing their consistency in being able to successfully export media.
Definitely do Time Machine first, then his other "classics for a reason" the War of the Worlds, the Invisible Man, the Island of Dr Moreau, and IMO the Food of the Gods. His work tends to have a sort of bipartite structure where the second half diverges quite a bit from the first or there is a major thematic shift partway, usually as a consequence of "committing to the bit." Sometimes it seems like he has lost the plot, other times that he has found it. But the books are extremely readable.

Exposure to germs and allergens is good for kids and helps build their immune system.

>After the birth of his second child, Gilbert, a scientist who studies microbial ecosystems at the University of Chicago, decided to find out what's actually known about the risks involved when modern-day children come in contact with germs. "It turned out that most of the exposures were actually beneficial," Gilbert says. "So that dirty pacifier that fell on the floor — if you just stick it in your mouth and lick it, and then pop it back in little Tommy's mouth, it's actually going to stimulate their immune system. Their immune system's going to become stronger because of it."

> The future of human content is being as human as possible. AI isn't going to replace that in our lifetimes, if ever.

I have been working on machine learning algorithms for a long time. Since the time when telling someone I worked on AI was a conversation killer, even with technical people.

AI's are going to understand people better than people understand people. That could be in five years, maybe - many things are happening faster than expected. Or in 15 years. But that might be the outside range.

There is something about human psychology where the faster something changes, the less we are aware of the rate of change. We don't review the steps and their increasing rate that happened before we cared about that tech. We just accept the new thing that finally gets our attention like it was a one off event, instead of an accelerating compounding flood, and imagine it isn't really going to change much soon.

--

I know this isn't a popular view.

But what is happening is on the order of the transition to the first multi-cellular creatures, or the first bodies with specialized cells, the first nervous systems, the first brains, the first creatures to use language. Far bigger than advances such as writing or even the Internet. This is a transition to a completely new mode for the substrate of life and intelligence. The lack of dependency on any particular substrate.

"We", the new generation of things we are building, will have none of the limits and inefficiencies of our ancient slow DNA-style life. Or our stark physical bottlenecks on action, communication, or scaling, and our inability to understand or directly edit our own internal traits.

We will have to face many challenges in the coming years. It can't hurt to mindfully face them earlier than later.

You cannot imo use Japan as an argument for anything. There are so many unique and localised factors at play in Japan, that it could be something as obscure as incredible self limiting eating due to fear of social stigma.

> I, and my peer group from "back home" would have had zero chances in life without these programs. We were not well off, and my peers did not come from families that had anything more than strong parenting - almost none had parents who had gone to college. They were tracked into gifted and talented programs at an early age by a school system that identified their highly capable students and resources were given to remove them from the "regular" track.

You know by the way people (Gary Tan, etc) talk about it the only students that matter are the first generation Asian kids who didn’t grow up rich. As another first generation Asian kid that didn’t grow up rich but had the privilege of educated parents but didn’t achieve anything that you’d consider “moving society forward” what should happen to everyone else?
Oracle's only customer for the first three years of its existence was the CIA. There are no heroes there.
I don't get them either since the hosts are typically "regular people" talking about often complicated subjects that they are by no means domain experts in.

I find the format of "Dumdum Host A read some articles about something last night and Dumdum Host B asks questions about it" especially grating, unless it's purely opinion-driven and then I still probably won't care unless I read about the hosts and find out they are probably people with opinions worth listening to.

I'd rather read a book or be with my own thoughts without having them be even more crowded by some randos telling me stuff they think they know

And those people do not even have to be geniuses or top students. Our society moves forward on the back of millions of ordinary people, yet those ordinary people, me included, would benefit most from a rigorous education system.
Never understood why people use iTerm. I know back in the day it was because of the lack of tabs in Terminal.app, but tabs were added long ago and tmux was always a better option for that kind of functionality anyway.

Genuinely curious because I feel like I'm missing something. I tried it again a while ago and still couldn't see anything I couldn't already do.
If that's the problem, then it's easy.

Do not think about the tools. Think about small improvements that can move the team in a more productive and sustainable (agile) way.

Simple things. Like putting a timer on long meetings until people get used to not extending it. Or putting a limit on the work pipeline between the developer and the tester to avoid overwhelming testing sessions.

In my opinion, you are not supposed to start from scratch. The chaos often comes from this "let's blank slate everything and adopt all agile things we can find". Once again, the same mistake of focusing on tools instead of interactions between people.

C'mon, it's not that hard. Doesn't need to have strict rules.

I really wanted to like wezterm, but on my system it bitches about fonts a lot, and doesn't seem to execute shell rc files properly.
It's certainly complicated. But not WTF-level complicated.

Complexity is both subjective and relative. Allowing invalid states in your model is going to complicate things, too.

I wouldn't mind having this example in production. It will scale just fine with the number of booleans.
What actually works are the development models proposed by Royce, the spiral model, DSDM, XP, and something like kanban (pull based) with the manifesto -- all based on the same core essentials: build to the outcome, prioritize learning, build through the unknowns, and deliver what you learned, all in a long term risk and long term RoE weighted way.*

Scaled Agile for Enterprise (SAFE), SCRUM, etc., generally don't accomplish this. Any methods that take waterfall and relabel it and add roles until executives are bamboozled into thinking it's Agile™, don't.

This is where waterfall probably came from:

- Royce, 1970: https://www.praxisframework.org/files/royce1970.pdf

While it's where "waterfall" came from, seems to be because someone stopped reading when they saw Figure 2.

Figure 2 is what not to do, he says it doesn't work. By contrast, he already understands principles such as prototype what works then document it, then build it again (Fig 7 Step 3 says make one to throw away) or ski with your customer (Fig. 9 Step 5 says keep tight with the customer), etc. Myth has it the DOD got excited about Figure 2 and ran with it. Most damagingly misunderstood software development paper ever?

- Spiral model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_model

Prototypes with iterative scope and rigor until it's good enough. Sound familiar?

What a weird title when the article literally suggests kissing babies on the head instead of the face.

> Kiss their foot or the back of their head.
I was especially curious about "...but if for good reasons you must kiss the baby there are some things that can reduce the infection danger you pose."

I tried to come up with a single reason why anyone would feel they "must" inflict so life-threatening an action as a kiss on a neonate, but failed. Maybe I lead a sheltered life.
Yeah, which is why in my original post I wrote:

Technically, Go v2 signified the transition away from Google control to the project being directed by the community. That happened several years ago. Go v2 is already here and has been for a long time. The stdlib is also at v2 now (e.g. math/rand/v2).

You must mean the language? They said that a language v2 (go2) is probably unnecessary – that any future additions could be added without breaking the existing language. I don't expect simple tagged unions would need to break anything. A v2 (or even v3, perhaps) stdlib would be necessary to take advantage, like the parent suggests, but that has never been ruled out and is already the status quo.

It's more than I pay for IDEA Ultimate.

From the absurdly CPU-intensive landing page it seems the novelty is mainly some network storage and an LLM-integration, things I already have several of in my terminals on my work computer. I switch over to them in the blink of an eye because my window manager is extremely responsive and keeping their output localised and not split up in a single pseudo-conversation in my current main terminal is a perk, not a bug.

Sorry but I don’t think this is much evidence of anything. The point at which an AI can imitate a live-streaming human being is decades away. By then, we will almost certainly have developed a “real Human ID” system that verifies one’s humanity. I wrote about this more here:

The idea that AI is just going to eat all human creative activity because technology accelerates quickly is not a real argument, nor does it stand up to any serious projections of the future.

Some countries, like the Nordics, have few (to no) options for gifted students.

The mentality there is that it is better to raise the average, than to focus resources on a small % of the population. Seems to have worked pretty well for them, all things considered.
At least this is funny in the way it looks robotic and dorky. When it gets better it will become increasingly scary to go on this road. Why would anyone want to watch anything gen AI other than a one off curiosity?
I agree. I think I listen to podcasts just for a bit of "social noise" when I'm doing something by myself and for occasionally picking up on something new I hadn't heard of before. For pure information content, I think they're actually very poor. It's not unlike listening to an old AM radio talk show. Hosts repeat themselves, engage in banter, and often oversimplify topics for the sake of a narrative.

I also think AI podcasts could become popular one day for people who just want some background noise and bits of trivia every once in a while. I would argue that a lot of YouTube channels I sometimes have in the background just summarize Wikipedia articles and don't have much of a personal touch anyway, so an AI could do the same thing.

Agile works very well for small projects. When you have less than 10 developers it gets rid of a lot of overhead. However those are situations where project management isn't really hard and so they didn't need it. Companies doing projects with hundreds of thousands of developers are hurting because nobody can do project management. Agile seemed to help and so they jumped in. However painful experience with agile has shown there really was a good reason for all those processes agile go rid of! They are back to waterfall because at the end of the day they have real problems and all solutions end up pushing them to do a lot of pre-work planning to have a chance. Not that waterfall is good - it isn't - but everything else is worse as painful experience keeps showing.

Note that while we call what they are doing waterfall, in fact it isn't. All (nearly all?) projects are doing releases. They do go back and change things made in the past, just that the timeline is very long. They do discover things are not working and stop - sometimes they don't realize this in time to stop early, but they do stop.

What the world needs is a process for large numbers of people to develop software without stepping on each other. I do not have an answer to this problem - I'm not even sure if it exists.
