My observation of teens online, as someone who was once an online teenager, is that they are noticeably less mature than my cohort. Perhaps because it's no longer just the nerds who are online all day—if everyone in my high school was chronically online, there's a high possibility that Bush-era teens would've been just as openly immature and stupid as today's youth. Whatever happened to pretending to be an apathetic 24-year-old?

Hey I am the tech co-founder. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
One hundred twenty-three years ago my great grandmother's first husband died in a hotel in Kansas City from asphyxiation from the gas having been left on over night (the hotel did not yet have electric lighting). A letter was hastily written on a piece of hotel stationary to be delivered to his wife in the neighboring farming community where she lived.

It is fortunate to me that someone thought to hang on to that note since I have become interested in genealogy and this was a fairly significant event in family history (had he not died I don't suppose I would be around since it was her second marriage that gave me my grandfather).

I long for scraps of anything that my dead relatives, wrote, created, etc. It connects me better to the past — the lives they lived, how they lived them. It somehow grounds me a little better ... well, it's rather hard to explain the draw of genealogy.

Sadly very little of the ephemera of everyday life was kept. I get it. It might have seemed like hanging on to junk mail — like you were a hoarder or whatever, but in this digital era we should be able to hold terabytes of what may appear to be ephemera.

I'm doing what I can – not for ego, I think, but for future generations that may find a connection to their past interesting.
Your brain is well adapted to learning how to walk and speak.

Chimpanzees score pretty high on many tests of intelligence, especially short term working memory. But they can't really learn language: they lack the specialised hardware more than the general intelligence.
I agree that current models are not as good as humans. They will continue to improve. They will eventually be superhuman, just as they are at chess and go.
Given that this is a WAP gateway, you don't need your mobile network to support WAP; a TCP connection to the gateway should be enough (either via IP, or via dialup, if you can still find a network that supports circuit-switched data and a low-jitter VoIP or circuit-switched landline that can terminate a data call).

> It is not interesting or relevant in any way

In a technological-historical way it definitely is. I find it pretty interesting to see how things used to be done, and try to see which design decisions were just following the hype, and which actually were ingenious solutions to real constraints of the time.
> No easier than riding a bike or skating, for which our brains are probably not 'predisposed'.

What makes you think so? Humans came up with biking and skating, because they were easy enough for us to master with the hardware we had.
normal arrays in bash are implemented as linked lists. bash stores a pointer to the last accessed element, which turns the most common case of iteration into O(1), but the performance is terrible if you need to jump around

there are also associative arrays which are bucketed hash tables, which are fine for string keys but imho they are hardly ever worth it as a replacement for indexed arrays

Is Synology Such a Mess?
I just tried setting up Active Backup for Business between two Synology devices. I stumbled upon the fact that I couldn't get this to work with backing up the source Synology to the target Synology without the account on the target Synology being a non admin account. This in my opionion is important, so whenever the source Synology has a critical event it does not hold the credentials to compromise the target Synology as well. They confused the word target here, but yeah...

I wrote Synology support and this is an excerpt of their answer:

========== Begin of message ==========

[...]

By design, when you use Active Backup for Business to back up your target devices, the agent on the target device must log in using an account with administrator privileges that exists on the NAS. Please note that during the backup process, your backup data is not transmitted in plain text between the target device and the NAS. Therefore, instead of worrying about the backup host being compromised due to a compromised target device, you should perhaps consider how to prevent your target device from being compromised in the first place.

[...]

========== End of message ==========

Let me get this straight:

Synology can be used for backing up multiple devices in a business context:

Any of those devices needs to sign in on the Synology NAS that they are being backed up to with an Synology admin account in order for Active Backup for Business to work?

So, if any of the devices being backed up suffers from an event where it is compromised, it can compromise the Synology and all other machine backups as well, since it has admin credentials for the Synology device?

How can this even remotely be considered "Business"? That must be a joke?

P.S. Others seem to have had the same problem:

A substance is a means to an end. What you described is just one of the many.

And I agree. I do not drink, not even in social settings, and I feel like I'm the odd one out for doing so, thus I typically avoid parties and gatherings as much as possible.

I do take something people would consider a drug though, but for different reasons you described. It is to manage pain, anxiety, and depression, difficulty walking, and urinary incontinence. What I take works for all of the problems that affects the quality of my life.

That said, new year is coming up, and I'm definitely not going to drink.

In the future, will there be drugs specifically for kids?

I find it weird that we don’t give kids coffee to help them focus on math. (But amphetamine is fine?) There is no evidence coffee is bad for kids.

Psychedelics are so similar to kid level playfulness — and sometimes I think it could be helpful to help them see the big picture.

Even cannabis— we know it’s controlled use is fine for kids, based on studies of usage for epilepsy, etc.

Why do we wait till kids try it themselves under suspect circumstances rather than introducing it with intention?

Just provoking some free thought.
Music is really, really old.

And reading and music co-evolved to be relatively easy for humans to do.

I think the real key is figuring out how to turn the hand-wavy promises of this making everything better into policy long fucking before we kick the door open.

What makes a great team stand out? It’s not just technical skills or years of experience—it’s something deeper.

Building a high-performing team requires more than just assembling talented individuals—it’s about creating the right environment for them to succeed together.
Companies routinely pay short-term contractors a lot more than their permanent staff.

At this point, I think that would be better, yes, just because people think Rust is "fully" safe, which is just incorrect. I think the problem was the Rust hype and repeated statements of it being very safe, so we have some undoing to do.

For example if someone on GitHub sees that the project is written in Rust, they are automatically going to assume it is safe, incorrectly so. I do not blame them though.

Banning it makes no difference other than possibly slow down it's adoption. Does banning the purchase and sale of drugs stop people buying and selling drugs?

And as bitcoin is digital, it makes it far harder to stop as I can send it to anyone else via an encrypted digital communications channel that the state is unable to read.

And there will always be one country that doesn't ban it, and thrives from the use of hard money, rather than monopoly money tokens that are fiat currencies like $£ etc.

What is far more likely is that other major countries see bitcoin's potential as future global reserve asset and stock pile it. If they are right, then the USA will be left "holding the bag" of worthless US dollars, and be left with relatively any bitcoin either i.e. it will be broke. The USA will forsee this, and you'll end up with a mad rush to buy bitcoin before other nations do. Nation-state FOMO.
I love reading up on my fav musicians and have a listen at what their influences are and/or other fans recommend.

Or, in 2012, I torrented the then whole discog of a British duo called Autechre that I liked a track from on the soundtrack of the film 'Pi'.

12 years later, I have several vinyls, bought every release on multiple [streaming] services/shops, have been to one concert in '16... still cannot get enough and listen to their new releases all the time.

Funny to think about it this way, how a handful of beats in a movie can open you up to a world unseen, just gotta follow the tracks...

It’s probably because previous generations are becoming okay with drugs and millennials tend to be in favor of more permissive drug use.

Pretty clear cut to me.
My guess is that the difference is more that PyPI intends to be a Python package repository, and thus I don’t think you can just upload say a binary copy of MKL without accompanying Python code. It’s originally a source-based repository with binary wheels being an afterthought. (I still remember the pre-wheel nightmare `pip install numpy` used to give, when it required compiling the C/C++/Fortran pieces which often failed and was often hard to debug…)

But Anaconda and CondaForge are general package repository, they are not Python-specific but are happy to be used for R, Julia, C/C++/Fortran binaries, etc. it’s primarily a binary-based repository. For example, you can `conda install python` but you can’t `pip install python`.

I don’t know if there is any technical barrier or just a philosophical barrier. Clearly, Pip handles binary blobs inside of Python packages fine, so I would guess the latter but am happy to be corrected :).

Yes, though you are downplaying the problem a lot. It's not just governments, and it's way longer than 100 years.

literally just, what are their thoughts on that. do people deserve being paid? or don't? and if they don't and it's not worth paying for, how is it still worth watching? what is this bizarre mix of disdain and yet desire and entitlement to things, that they'll try to get them in whatever roundabout way, instead of just not watching the thing?

Two wrongs don't make a right. There are certainly corporate interests who try to exploit copyright law to the maximum, and I agree that that should be stopped by reducing copyright terms etc, but that doesn't mean that, for example, the authors of books should be exploited by both AI companies and their publishers just because you don't like the way publishers exploit copyright. There's more at stake than one type of company vs another.

Data, Skynet, Ultron, Agent Smith. There's plenty of examples from popular fiction. They have goals and can manipulate the real world to achieve them. They're not chatbots responding to prompts. The Samantha AI in Her starts out that way, but quickly evolves into an AGI with it's own goals (coordinated with the other AGIs later on in the movie).

We'd know if we had AGIs in the real world since we have plenty of examples from fiction. What we have instead are tools. Steven Spielberg's androids in the movie AI would be at the boundary between the two. We're not close to being there yet (IMO).

> "Bitcoin remains a strangely useless asset that doesn’t do anything. All you can do with it is buy, sell, or hold."

I have to laugh at people confidently making naive comments like this.

How about: all you can do with it is store and transfer your wealth in a highly liquid, divisible, digital and fungible form without any use of the state or fiat banking system, which means that it can't be stolen from you through supply inflation (even the US dollar is HALVED in value every decade), or through legal frameworks such as "taxation" or bank bail-ins.

A nice addition is that you can't be debanked if you hold opinions that the state doesn't want you to (e.g. Canadian trucker protests).

No other asset can offer this (even gold's value halves every 3-4 decades through supply inflation).

So yes, just "a strangely useless asset that doesn't do anything"
Having AI "tarnish the reputation of your company" encompasses so much in regard to AI when it can receive input and be manipulated by others such as Tai from Microsoft and many other outcomes where there is a true risk for AI deployment.
I don't think that's true any more, at least not in the UK. Not drinking alcohol is becoming normalised to a large extent - most restaurants and bars I go to now have non-alcoholic options, some of which are really delicious. I had a non-alcoholic "dry martini" in a bar the other day which had a really nice bite to it. I used to feel a bit cheated with non-alcoholic options because they were mostly like overly sweet cocktails or nasty-tasting beers, but the choices are really opening out now.
With the proper mix of retirement accounts, options, and futures contracts it can. It can offer even more leverage if you want.
Here in the Netherlands if you purchase something and cant reasonably know that it was stolen, then you become the legal owner.

It is logical that it works that way. Proving something is owned by someone else can be quite hard for certain items.
At that point it becomes important to ask (1) how much damage does the illegalization itself do; (2) how much harm does the limited access actually prevent; and (3) how much damage alcohol does, and what the tradeoff is.

If you’re going to make a harm reduction argument, you need to do your best to fully account for all the harms in play.
