You're somewhat correct, and a bit off:

>In 2018, a Pew Research Poll found that teenagers who were connected with their friends online were more likely to also hang out in person. By 2022, in-person outings for teens had collapsed.

>Can their online friends fill the role that real-life ones once did? Maybe — if those “friends” even exist.

>Last year one study found a full 25% of young adults “believe that AI has the potential to replace real-life romantic relationships.”

Those are factors, but it's pretty clear the pandemic accelerated such things as such that these cause isolation rather than a conduit to meet up.

And AI romance is on the rise. Is this healthy? I wouldn't think so; and I'm mostly saying that because I hate the idea of a corporate server having such a dangerously intimate connection with a human. Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.

I'll begrudgingly stay open to the more general theory of a personal AI you fall in love with otherwise. Very fearful, but I'd feel like a hypocrite as a game dev who has technically done tiny contributions to this if I suddenly say "you can't care about fictional characters".

Proofreading is easily done with an editor. I think AI is much more useful for giving critic and advice on how you write your sentences. Setting the tone, refining the main idea, pointing out redundancies are some of the things that I find very useful.

No social media isolates you on the short run. But joining groups and doing things just for the pleasure will connect you deeper with other people. Let time do its thing. You are 30, go with the flow, there's so much time. Heal a bit, and when your perspective will turn, your scorned, disappointed synapses will grow back to accept new connections and life.

I can't understand if this is the same as the Jevons paradox but I can observe that once some economical behaviour is imposed/incentivied on people, government taxes more the object of this economical behaviour. Also once government promises some subside, the cost of subsided good raises by the amount of subside. I would name it the Greedo Paradox

I read this comment.

That said I have also found myself writing less, but not because I think it’s less worthwhile than it was 15 years ago when I started, it’s that the internet feels like it has become less deep. Probably not because the internet has changed but because I’ve learned more so fewer and fewer things tickle that curious part of the brain and feel worth writing about. The things that do feel worth it are so off the deep end that there are fewer and fewer readers who are interested.
This feels like a technobabble troll. The whole thing is incoherent.
Yes, the theories in that article don't make a lot of sense. For example this about cats:

> settling into a mutually-beneficial relationship in which they hunted and ate rodents in exchange for food.

Cats mostly hunt birds, because rondents are smarter, faster, stronger and have weapons (teeth).

Also humans and primates throw rocks and sticks at predators. Early dogs must have been caught as puppies, or their parents killed by humans and their flesh eaten.

The whole model has been domesticated to portray a cartoony interaction.
So non-coherent refers to bypassing cache coherency, ie don't care about what other units might have written to that address? And the L1/L2 modifiers are to avoid L1 thrashing, keeping the value in L2 only?

Or did I get that wrong?
Well, if the government starts defaulting on payments, then bond rates go to infinity while the domestic currency goes to zero.

The US is currently defaulting on all sorts of debts, and the deficit has nothing to do with it. I wonder why its credit rating hasn’t been slashed yet.

Being in the Apple ecosystem for over a decade now as a former android person, is custom patches to proprietary app binaries to strip out ad calls actually a thing?

Not everyone thinks of Zig as a "no downsides and all upsides" C-replacement. First, a lot of people will take issue with it still being in beta and it being unknown how many more years will it take to reach 1.0. There are a bunch of C-replacements, or at least viable alternative languages out there. Both old and new. With more "C-killers" likely to pop-up in the not so distant future.

There are also a lot of people, after doing their Zig language reviews, that don't like it. Muratori (Handmade Hero) won't touch it and there was a recent article that's been covered on here and other sites, where the person explained why they stopped using it (linked below).

> If you now make blog entries on new ideas, it will be consumed and regurgitated as new ideas with no attribution or benefit to the original author, giving the illusion of new ideas.

This was already happening though. I’m not saying it makes what’s happening now ok, I’m just continually surprised to see this raised as though prior to LLMs, average individuals were going around giving attribution all day long after consuming your content.

In my mind the only thing to have changed is the scale of it. I always accepted that the moment I published something online, I lost control of what was to be done with it or by who. LLMs have not really changed much in this regard for me.

That being said, I only ever really write for my own clarity. If I had to survive off it or something, I’d probably feel different.

"Why spend your personal time and effort for someone else with a deeper pocket to automatically extract value from your work."

That's the exact attitude I'm talking about.

Because creating things is good! Because it's good to put value out there into the world, even if someone else might also use it.

I highly doubt that Jevons paradox is going to apply much here (and the data in the article seems to show this), simply because lighting was already cheap enough so that most people never gave a second thought to using lightbulbs (indeed, ask any parent that has ever yelled "turn off the lights" to their kids). Jevons paradox applies when there is strong demand for a good, but it is too expensive to be widely deployed, but a decrease in price of that good then allows many more uses of it. While sure there may be some edge cases (a sibling comment mentioned big flood lights for their yard), it's not like most people had dark rooms before where they thought "darn, if only light were cheaper"...

> A decent amount of the hypothetical savings from more efficient lighting was eaten by having even more lumens than previously as quality of light upgrades

I'm not sure what you mean by "quality of light upgrades". To be honest I hate the quality of light that LEDs give off. It's too "white bright", and I much prefer the quality of incandescent bulbs. I usually have LEDs much less brighter than they can go because otherwise I feel like there are floodlights in my house. Relatedly, I hate the switch to LED headlights. They're much too bright for oncoming drivers, and many car brands position them much too high.
I really doubt they're the same people. I think when left-leaning people see a story like this one, they are far more inclined to participate in the discussion. And vice versa.

> because those at the top of it have capture most of the gains

Only if you ignore consumer surplus. It's the mistake everyone makes.

Consumer surplus could easily be multiple times the amount of revenue of tech companies.

Consumer value to "those at the bottom" almost by definition exceeds the amount they spend - the question is by how much?

From the top tech stocks I definitely use an iPhone (AAPL), YouTube and Gmail (GOOGL), DuckDuckGo (MSFT), and a tiny tiny amount of WhatsApp (META). The value to me would easily be many thousands per year, yet I only pay hundreds per year. So I would guess my personal consumer surplus is easily greater than 10x my spending. My business depends on other tech companies (the value for which would be on top of my figure). I don't know what tech stocks I use indirectly. My sister has Starlink (because she's rural).

Disclosure: Much less than 10% of my total assets are retirement savings in US shares: AMD (bet against Intel), BRK.B (hedging market), BKNG (bet for them because I've used them and against AIRBNB which I've had poor experiences), MA (US exposure and maybe because they've been marketing me well recently - but I'm not really sure why I've chosen them).

It does get a bit more tricky to guess at producer surplus (maybe approximated by profits?).

Do you happen to depend on any US technology?

The last comment or set the bar pretty high here. Many of Harris's policy ideas were more focused on the collective well-being than the individual, all of those are more Marxist than they could be.

I'm not sure why you're jumping to Musk or Trump comparisons here. I agree with you in some areas that they both may be dangerous, that just wasn't the topic here.
Another source of inflation is maintaining zero interest rates during an economic boom, like Trump did in his first term.

I feel you. What's worse: amyloid aggregates aren't fraud either, but certain ones are more conducive to fraud, and the fraudsters have been loudly denounced.

There is absolutely no question--none at all--that amyloid plaques are a key feature of Alzheimer disease, that they are neurotoxic, and that they fit within a number of mechanistic pathways contributing to dementia (which is the broad clinical phenotype).

Interestingly enough, the actual results of the lecanemab (Leqembi) trial is that those on drug had overall 17 months longer in the mild cognitive impairment / mild dementia range before declining to the moderate dementia range. It doesn't stop the disease, but it does measurably slow its course, and that makes a huge difference to families. Whether the linked author can accept that progress is mostly incremental and not wholly satisfying is, I don't know...his problem, but it is rapidly becoming our problem as dementia scientists.

But people love a conspiracy.

Show HN: Grogg – Manage Multiple Kubernetes Clusters in VSCode
Hi HN, I’m Michael and I’m here to introduce you to Grogg. I got frustrated over the years with the endless chain of kubectl commands and disjointed dashboards, so I built Grogg, a VSCode extension that delivers a modern, slick interface for Kubernetes management.

Check Grogg at https://grogg.app

It’s designed for tasks like quick scaling, multi-log viewing, and handling multiple clusters, all from your editor.

What Grogg Does:

- Multi cluster, manage multiple clusters and namespaces without leaving your editor.
- Built as a vscode extension, Stay in your editor.
- Quick actions, scale deployments, view logs, and delete pods without memorizing long commands.
- Secure integration, connects directly to your Kubernetes API with support for air-gapped environments.

It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows (both arm64 and x64) with zero installation required on your clusters.

I’m offering a 14-day free trial (no credit card required) for anyone interested in giving it a spin. I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to make Grogg even better.

You can also earn with Grogg affiliate program at https://grogg.app/affiliates

Planning to also distribute as a standalone app later on if context switching does not bother you.

Thanks for checking it out!
Denouncing and accusing people as fascists who must not be tolerated for the transgression of discussing social and political issues in a manner deemed verboten seems like something a fascist might do.

It's clear that progress is incremental at this point. At the same time Anthropic and OpenAI are bleeding money.

This was a fun read. I read APoSD for the first time a couple of months ago and found myself nodding enthusiastically as I read. I have a few quibbles, of course, but overall it matches my experience in how to write software that is correct, maintainable, extensible, and understandable.

I've never read CC, but I've read some of the take downs[1]. I was worried that the take downs were attacking a strawman, but no, Uncle Bob believes this stuff, including that comments are evil and you just need to read all the code and keep it in your head.

Even if that were true, the code I write is better for having written the comments, especially interface comments, because the writing helps my thinking. Moreover, it helps my code reviewers—without written interfaces. If all you have is the code and not a description of what the code is supposed to do, how can you know if it is correct? I think most code reviewers are verifying the code against what they infer the interface to be. It helps us both to just be explicit.

Are states exactly flush with cash to plug even small gaps in school budgets?

You mentioned CA which is rebuilding from massive fires, can they afford that?

What about Arizona, 2021 to 2022 19% of their schools budget was federal funding.

What happens if there is a natural disaster, Trump can withhold funds to force changes. Can a state turn down that level of assistance? They would have to prioritize recovery I assume and just accept the change.

That's their argument, yes, but it was clearly based on the incorrect belief that there's some emergency button you can press to demand that a court consider your arguments ASAP. As Digicert explained:

> The legal world does not move as fast as the demands of our CA ecosystem. Our legal approach was to work with the complainant’s legal team to get the TRO dismissed in 5 days.

The court would not have dissolved the TRO in anywhere close to 5 days without the complainant's cooperation, even if Digicert had an ironclad argument for doing so. Digicert made
the right choice to get the certificates rotated as fast as possible - and I don't think Sectigo intends to argue it would be better to stand on principle even if that makes the revocation slower.
This guy should focus more on fixing the ai generated plague that is currently waving his social media network, but instead seems “not to care too much” as long it keeps users busy.

As per the post roughly:

Step 1. Polish your resume

Step 2. Avoid the holidays

Step 3. Set up Calendly

Step 4. Be able to answer what it is that you do

It is truly "how" instead of "where" like I first expected. The author provided some good tips that most people omit because at first they might seem like common sense but what makes this actually good is the fact that most tips provided come with an actionable suggestion rather than an empty "do this and nevermind how". Also the gotcha about Calendly importing Facebook birthdays and booking the whole day was great.

Looking forward to part two.
