The machine was indeed targeted at all people, male or female. But this show was in Japan in 1970, and using attractive female models was absolutely the norm (heck, this was even the norm at computer industry trade shows I attended around ~2000; they called them "booth babes"). They would not have had any male models wearing little clothing to show off this machine.

You're right that this part of this history isn't necessarily that important to the machine being discussed in the article, but I think the other poster has a good point that this was absolutely part of the culture of the time, for good or bad, and I don't think this part of history should be ignored personally. Part of reading about something like this is to bring the reader back in time to what it was like being at this show in 1970 and seeing devices like this. Part of the experience was absolutely seeing pretty women modeling things or otherwise being part of the exhibit, because that's something that's completely different these days.

I think it might also be interesting to point out that while having "booth babes" is now out of vogue in the US, it's still the norm here in Japan. Go to an industrial trade show here and it'll be full of men walking around seeing the demos and talking to (generally male) company representatives, while there's a bunch of attractive well-dressed women standing in front handing out brochures and swag and scanning your QR code to put your email address on a mailing list, but who don't actually know anything about the company or products.
Rather than banning social media, we should be forcing social media companies to make their apps less addictive and promote more positive interactions. This only stigmatises social media more and gives them a ‘free pass’ to keep being a net negative contributor to society. It’s such a lazy legislation. Besides, what counts as social media? Texting? Gaming? The internet is inherently social.
I came here to rage (im just honest) because the go code example is bad and absolute not representative. Im coding go code for multiple years, especially alot of multithreading, and what is presented there as result is just wrong. Apart from no necessaty to use a waitgroup for threading, as many others here already have stated even with waitgroup you cacn reduce the memory significantly down to like 130mb for 1mio threads.

Also some other languages seem to be missrepresented.

Seems like someone had good intentions but no idea about the languages he tried to compare and the result is this article.
Read the article - This is not the EU commission or some bigwig requesting a hearing or an investigation.

Rather there was one delegate from one of the many political groups in the EU Parliament (which has very little authority and power) who made a statement .

In analogy to the US political system: This is not Mark Zuckerberg summoned to a Senate hearing. Rather this is someone of the House of Representatives making some weird proposal or claim.

Maybe I am oversimplifying here, but you get the idea.

But all the other kids will simply be on the next thing. They're on social media because that's accessible, but the assumption is the demand for such things will vanish because you banned them?

I'm (apparently) one of the few millenials who seems to actually remember and empathize with my teenage self, because the early forms of social media were something I really wanted. I posted on Usenet, used ICQ etc. None of these things were easily accessible, but they fulfilled a need.

The situation being addressed is basically "I am taking no steps to limit my child from access to something I already disapprove of" and I don't see how this would address anything. You got them off Snapchat or TikTok but why wouldn't word of mouth just find a new service to act as a virtual third space? Social media works just fine in a web browser.

Basically there's a strain of assumption which could be summarized as "children aren't smart enough to use Mastodon!" as though to do so is not just "visit this URL here's the QR code".
Are you sure you need a specific feature of Android 11 / API_LEVEL_30?

Would it be totally impossible technically to target API_LEVEL_28 (Android 9)?

Many people in your users "niche" deliberately use an older device (such as Android 9) to limit the phone addiction: newer device => richer experience => even more addiction => for this reason some people in your niche use an older phone.
The letter was complaining to Kubrick, not to the cinema, which I personally find bizarre.
This legislation has no teeth. There is nothing that forces social media companies to verify ID. In fact in the legislation social media companies can’t force users to provide ID.

It’s stupid legislation pandering to the lowest common denominator by a Labor government who have no vision and no idea how to deal with very real cost-of-living problems for Australians. The only problem is the LNP are even worse, an the Greens are nuts, so we’re stuck either anthem because they are the best of a terrible bunch.
Coincidentally written something about this yesterday [1], but the gist of my take summed up is that the nature of accounting oriented data models doesn’t help when dealing with multiple FBO accounts.

The main problem is that accounting defaults to full fungibility of monetary amounts represented in a ledger, which has the effect of losing track of the precise mapping between assets and liabilities, so you end up in a position where you simply cannot tell precisely to a bank _who_ are the actual customers they owe money to.

Agreed, would they have called the CEO of TikTok if one of the mainstream parties had won?

To me it looks like the EU wants to become an auditor of the elections of the EU members and is taking sides.

And here I thought that the EU wanted to promote democracy and the will of the people.
This. I have seen Western companies trying to "just copy" chinese hardware and realise it's a lot easier said than done.

Most people I talk to have this mentality of "China is making cheap copies of stuff", but in what I see (e.g. drones) China is way ahead and we don't manage to "just copy".
I wonder if that applies to the amount of material the tyres shed as well.
I mean, isn't it trivial? For instance, you can make any Euler characteristic you want by making a cell complex with a 1-cells and b 2-cells and then the Euler characteristic will be 1 + b - a. Am I missing something? If this is the problem and this is how the model looks for a solution, yes, it is overcomplicating things.
>There are loads of chargers all over Europe.

That's meaningless if the chargers are not at your home or close to where you live. And the public chargers available half are broken or have some issue or terrible UX on payment. Plus long charring time so you need to take time out of your day to go back to the charger and bring your car back home. Terrible UX versus a 3 minute refuel at a gas station and you're done for the week.

EVs make the most sense when you have your charger at home, or at least at work. Otherwise UX sucks balls. Imagine not being able to charge your phone at home and always be looking to charge it in public. That would suck, wouldn't it?

>It's petrol car owners that need to start worrying.

Do you see gas stations closing en-masse yet? I haven't.

>delivery vans, etc. all going electric in a hurry

They are not in any hurry. Only the national post where I live has some EV delivery vans for virtue signaling and green washing. All the other smaller delivery companies and contractors use diesel vans almost exclusively because they need to actually care about range, saving money and turning a profit.

If the example was extended to, say, once the sleep is completed then parse and process some JSON data (simulating the sleep being a wait on some remote service), then how would memory use be affected?

In the Go number reported, the majority of the memory is the stack Go allocated for the application code anticipating processing to happen. In the Node example, the processing instead will need heap allocation.

Point being that the two numbers are different - one measures just the overhead of the runtime, the other adds the memory reserved for the app to do work.

The result then looks wasteful for Go because the benchmark.. doesn’t do anything. In a real app though, preallocating stack can often be faster than doing just-in-time heap allocation.

Not always of course! Just noting that the numbers are different things; one is runtime cost, one is runtime cost plus an optimization that assumes memory will be needed for processing after the sleep.
Fair. Yep, a open source version with self hosted models could be cool and possibly something in the future. Thanks for the insights!

Oh it's another of those modernc projects, where it's just C, transcompiled to go?

Yes, it is.

So the "actual source" is still C, but it is CGo-less. Which is neat? But I am not sure how it performs in bigger apps, what are its limitations, etc.
These tactics have all been observed. Shells don't have a long range, bodies either. The use shells because of terror tactics and because they barely have accurate stuff.

Blow up oil and their economy will collapse. Funding military and payouts will decrease. No money for nuclear stuff. No troops to interfere in other countries.

War stops and their arsenal won't receive any maintenance anymore for the next 20 years.

Moscow's influence decreases, Russia collapses and will be split up in different countries again. One of them will be high oil production, the rest will benefit from passthrough payments ( instead of nothing before) and will be partially deserted as it always has been.

If every kid was injecting heroin we would not just expect, but demand the government step in. This is in addition to whatever parents are doing.
Was hoping for something slightly stronger and can't help but feel put off by a big over sized box on the first page with some quantities which feel more "derived post-facto" in practice.

Maybe very useful, but still feels more qualitative than quantitative, or maybe I'm missing something (wouldn't shock me)...
Nature or nurture? Australia did start off as a penal colony in the early days.

And the USA started, in large part, as a destination for religious extremists. Funny how these things keep coming up again and again!
How do you tax internet traffic?

> US imposes tariffs

That didn’t happen yet and isn’t even 100% guaranteed to happen. So maybe it would be reasonable to wait?

Also what makes you think they are shipping their servers from Europe? How is them being an European company even relevant?
Who cares? Whether or not it applies in this particular case, it's a useful term. Rejecting ideas because of who they come from is the very antithesis of intellectual maturity.
He is fully willing to deliver on his threats. He did it his first term. The tariffs are coming. You don’t rile up hundreds of millions of people with hateful lies to back out of promising tarrifs will fix everything. If you think Trump is all talk in order to negotiate then you are sorely mistaken and you are one of the suckers he’s selling to.

Thanks, I have looked into this but it seems to be more like a way to address support tickets, i.e. "an expert system to support you in resolving tickets".

What I am aiming for is more like "an expert system to support you in working as an Analyst in charge of evolutive maintenance for an old and complicated app".
This was already the cut ending, as indicated by its abruptness. The extended edition apparently tried to reintroduce some of the original ending. (I guess, the towering tsunamis were a new addition, as this would have hardly been possible with the technology of the day.)
The data you provide quotes Germany being 50% more polluting than France per-GDP-unit, at the level France was at in 2007.

The issue with it is that dividing by GDP rather than, say, population or total energy used is kind of disingenuous. For instance, France's 2007 GDP can't be compared to Germany's 2022 GDP, so it's extremely hard to have an idea of what you're comparing.

The juxtaposition of this comment and username are sending me, let me tell you.
Being a founder of a startup, even a relatively successful one, doesn't put you into the same class as the top 0.1% of billionaires.

At the very least you have to exploit the labor of the bottom 99% of society in order to attain 1% wealth.

When you get to the level of Musk, I think it's almost self-evident that it isn't possible to attain that much wealth, without being directly responsible for a significant fraction of all the evil in the world.

That's slightly different from "participating in evil parts of society" but I think that it certainly would be difficult maintain that kind of wealth but somehow avoid participating in the activities of your peers.
It seems there are just two clubs: you go with bare metal (Rust, C# native AOT) or you use some higher level abstraction (virtual machine, garbage collector) and then there is no significant difference between Java, Node, Go or Python.

For me Python worked surprisingly well, while Go was surprisingly high on memory consumption.

I don't think you can KYC your way to stopping spammers without stepping on some protected classes.

I think that having a blacklist with some ID (bank account, national ID, CA cert) that's hard to replace is a good compromise.

You could try giving people moral purity tests before you let them in (doesn't some of the tildeverse work like that?) but I think it's a dark road.
The point is clearly that you are causing other serious harms by doing so, unlike with the heroin example. You can’t tear kids away from a huge part of their social lives without serious consequences. Coordinated action means it’s not a choice between two terrible options.
>We don't need watertight compliance, verification or enforcement

the law basically requires document verification, i.e. no anonymous access anymore for anybody. Just government protecting children, as usual.
>the one easier to use is going to get wider spread / adoption

Between Rust and C++, this is Rust. In C++ you need to a lot more memory safety verification in your head, there are thousands of footguns that you need to be aware of at all times, the template metaprogramming facilities are really hard to grok with their weird syntax.

Rust is strict, but for the kinds of applications that you would replace C++ in this makes it a lot easier to learn.

I think the sentiment that Rust is hard comes from people that come from managed languages (Python/Java/C#) that aren't used to manual memory management. From that perspective Rust is indeed hard.
Nice work.

I’m not for this legislation, but your argument doesn’t hold up.

If people are hiding it, that in itself normalises that people are not using social media.

That’s the point; taking someone’s phone away makes them an outcast. If no one at school is “allowed” to have a phone, then it’s normalised, it’s normal to not have one.

It is pandering to the minority, but your argument hides behind insults to avoid facing the reality which is that it will normalise people not being on social media, which will make it easier for parents to ban their kids from using social media.

This isn’t some black market crap where the kids are nipping down to the servo to buy some vapes and get a slap on the wrist if their caught; if they’re banned and they’re caught, their account will get suspended.

That's instant death on SM, because of early adopter network effects.

It really will do something. You don’t understand the dynamics on SM if you think otherwise.

Whether you agree it’s good or not, is certainly open to debate. What it will do is open to debate; hidden group chats and an escape to platforms that are “technically not SM”, who knows… but the current landscape of SM & TikTok follower accumulation will change, dramatically.
As a parent I literally support bans of social media for under-16s AND I also do my job as a parent: my kids get a smart phone at 16, until then they have a feature/dummy phone (which they hide from peers because they are ashamed to show it).
Note that modernc/cznic stuff is not really actual go but C trans-compiled to Go, the trans-compiler having specific quirks for every platform,.

So it's not technically possible to compile to all platforms that Go runs on, only the platforms that the trans-compiler supports. And the resulting Go code is not that readable.

https://gitlab.com/cznic/libtcl9.0/-/blob/master/libtcl9_0_l...

https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/ccgo/v3

But it still improves cross-compiling, and results in a libc independent static binary, which is nice. And the work done on the trans-compiling is great.
You shouldn’t have to use the search, since we’re now addressing the claim that racism is everywhere and in your face on that platform.

Anti-immigration sentiments also don’t have to be racist, like they aren’t in the case of that post.
Wilhoit's law in action.
Not really. For most people, nothing good ever comes with such letters.
So the argument is “if you measure something completely different from and unrelated to the article you do not get the same result”?

I guess that’s true.

And to be clear, I do agree with the top comment (which seems to be by you), TFA uses timers in the other runtimes and go does have timers so using goroutines is unwarranted and unfair. And I said as much a few comment up (although I’d forgotten about AfterFunc so I’d have looped and waited on timer.After which would still have been a pessimisation).

And after thinking more about it the article is in also outright lying: technically it’s only measuring tasks in Go, timers are futures / awaitables but they’re not tasks: they’re not independently scheduled units of work, and are pretty much always special cased by runtimes.

> Acting like we should be seriously treating children and teens as an equal political group is a joke

Yeah this thread is wild, maybe because those speaking “on behalf” of children here are actually all children?

Age restrictions for social media are as logical and necessary as they are for driving, drinking, etc. It isn’t just a concern about self-harm. The general public has a stake in this too in the long run, and it’s a safety and security issue for them as well. (If you don’t believe this is true, just think about how much power Facebook already has over elections, and how much more they will have if literally everyone alive grows up on Facebook and doesn’t think that power is worth questioning)

Years from now we’ll all be surprised we didn’t arrive at this conclusion sooner.
Yes, but because the entire world agrees that heroin is bad (similarly to social media) governments have laws to restrict its access.

As for the job part. There is so much stuff kids don't need that other parents cave into, that unless you have the means, willpower and energy to find alternative peer groups, schools, teaching mechanisms, your kids _can_ become social pariahs if there isn't sufficient like minded parents in the community.

Of course you want your kids to internalise self-wort, a sense of confidence, and independence. Hoping they follow your mold and not a potentially damaging peer-groups. But that doesn't mean that some regulation from a body (government/school) isn't helpful. We live in communities.
BYD has been expanding a lot since then, they have much more money than 4-6 years ago, they've rolled out more factories around the world. It's not a given since now they have both more experience, and more cash, the American market is huge so they might try to find the loopholes this time to have their products in the USA.

Probably much harder if tariffs on Canada/Mexico happen but if those don't materialise (which is quite likely because, well, it's going to fuck with American food prices, energy, etc.) then BYD's factory in Mexico will probably be there, ready to start exporting.
Smoking is also highly regulated now. It’s almost a surprise to see someone smoking nowadays.
Then other countries will retaliate with tariffs on the goods you export. Ultimately we are all left worse off.
While true, it doesn't even have to be a pivot. It can be a sale of asset (volontary or necessary), an acquihire where the project and data just become some old vault to be disposed of and dozens other scenario.

I'm sure no one at Yahoo actually thought or had any plan for all of that personal data to be data mined wholesale by Verizon a decade later. And nobody at Google right now believes all that data could be sold to Comcast or whatever. But things happen and then...
If you're not going to police that smartphone then how will this legislation do anything? What stops "US Mastodon" being the new place all the kids in your school are posting?

Like that is the goal here, because observably any phone with a web browser has social media access, it just can't be a company which tries to do business in Australia directly.

But 4chan has existed for years (that's not the end point, but certainly creating a selective pressure to push teenagers to less regulated, shadier social media services doesn't seem like it's quite the result people want).

The short version I'd say is, this move seems solely aimed at taking away a virtual third space for adolescents and doesn't plan to offer anything back. But people didn't go seeking it because it offered nothing.
Just tried this in Julia: 16.0 GB of memory for 1M tasks!

I believe each task in Julia has its own stack, so this makes sense. Still, it does mean you've got to take account of ~16 KB of memory per running task which is not great.

"We" as in a society that wants to reduce the amount of microplastics from tires (or who wants to reduce environmental impact as much as possible).

It's sadly also the same "we" that is more interested in preserving the status quo in the name of the al might holy economy as it exists today. The same "we" that doesn't want to upset voters. The same "we" who won't vote for the greener option because "we" can't imagine a future different from yesterday.
