It used to be that elders were few and far between, as the population pyramid was, well, a pyramid.

The other day I joked in conversation that I raise my daughters to disrespect the elderly - particularly my generation in the future - as considering the fertility rates (worse than in Japan) in the region, there will be plenty of elderly compared to younger generations.

I'm only half joking really. My own parents are reaching the age at which they would use some help every now and then. I have two siblings, so it doesn't take huge individual effort from any of us.

Meanwhile I'm the only one there who has children and most likely that will remain the case. Should they feel any obligation to help my siblings once the time comes?
I wonder if you could pair this with nix e.g.,:

I would think this re-inforces the performative aspects of the situation. It is very hard to see good-faith negotiations existing between these trade blocs if an offer like this was not discussed seriously.

I believe a reddit observation I have read is that Musk called for "zero tariffs with europe" and a response was "it was 1.4 to 1.5% on average between the US and EU before you blew this up"
I agree with the sentiment of the article but I don’t understand the point they were trying to make here:

“Before, you had to go socialize with friends; now, you can just get drunk with a bunch of strangers. Before, you had to go find a mate, create children and raise a family; now, you can just watch a lot of porn.”

I’d think more of Facebook, Instagram and Netflix or the advertising industry in general like weaponized additions than what I do of alcohol.
Mozilla Corporation spends about 60 million a year or more on marketing—which could fully fund the R&D of an entire goddamn browser—and yet the net result is approximately what you'd get if the annual marketing budget were $0.

Don't discount the opportunity that "advertising" presents to smuggle in a bunch of expenses that are either zero or negative on ROI.
Looks like they edited it to remove that end section that shows they just copied directly from an LLM, so here is the original ending of the comment for posterity...

Maybe the solution to preserving cultural heritage isn't always high-tech digital archives, but finding ways to make tradition relevant within existing social practices. RetryGIs this to academic?EditNot at all! Your comment is engaging and conversational rather than academic. It strikes a good balance between showing expertise and remaining accessible.
I've seen several posts like this recently. The title is something that seems very insightful into something that I've recently been dealing with, and I'm intrigued. I open the web page, read the opening paragraph, and realize that there are only two or three paragraphs. It is the highest of high level content, with more content in the title than in the blog post.

There's nothing inherently wrong with short blog posts. This particular post might even say that it's virtue, except it doesn't bother to expand upon its points at all. What did the OP want out of such a post?

As someone who deals with ADHD, I have read a lot of advice on the internet about how to be more productive. A lot of times, people point out things that seem like very efficient and successful solutions to problems that I have. A common one I see is to become more disciplined, or create a schedule, and you will find a productivity follows. I love this magical thinking because it does not take into account how different individuals deal with modern life. Of course, if I was able to have the discipline to do tasks, I would be more productive. The point is that I have an issue with creating habits or breaking bad ones, and I have found it difficult to find advice specific to my need to get better at sticking to habits with my ADHD brain.

Everyone is very willing to engage at a very high level, giving helpful sound and advice that works for the broadest possible audience; but when you actually examine what they say, you see it is full of holes. Any real person you give this advice to is quickly going to fall through because of their own individual situation and issues. Reading blog posts like this feels more like a way to give our minds a dopamine hit for "successfully accomplishing" something when it has accomplished nothing, and the shorter the blog post and the more general the topic, the sooner you get that hit.

This isn't to denigrate the post itself, I just felt a familiar sense of disappointment when I was able to grasp the entirety of the post in 15 seconds. I guess this is why people like Twitter.
Right, so that was about me having changed something in a Pharo image that was fundamental to the system as such, hence the menus and keyboard shortcuts stopped working. I had to kill -9 from the operating system, and at that point debugging whatever I was debugging didn't feel like a breeze.

But it should be very rare, and besides the change log and similar facilities it's also easy to just make timestamped copies of the image and pushing packages to git.
Personal anecdote: I lost 10kg mostly by skipping dinner every few days when I have good lunch. So seems about right
I can't think of a single company (besides maybe a tiny start-up where you know all of leadership) where airing ethical grievances through a private, respectful, official channel would accomplish anything. If you're at the point where you're objecting so strongly to something your company is doing on ethical grounds, you're 99% of the way out the door already.

Better to just quit and if asked, quietly note the reason in your exit interview. Banding together and politely petitioning your company is not going to change anything--your employer is not a democracy. And obviously protesting your employer publicly is not going to help, either.

I didn't quite soil my pants like that other guy, but I at least mildly chuckled at the thought of telling my manager in my next 1:1 that I object ethically to some business my 10,000+ person company is engaged in.
This is no different to the Australian Young Liberals debating mandatory sterilization of lefists, or taking over Indonesia or other fantasy sports shit-talking.

The problem is not they talk about this, the problem is that it leaks into Front-page australian newspapers. It gets conflated with serious opinion.
Come on. There’s a difference between questioning U.S. foreign policy and pretending North Korea is some misunderstood utopia. You’re right that propaganda exists in the West, but that doesn’t mean every criticism of the DPRK is racist or unexamined.

Calling out the regime’s control and the risk posed by state-backed cyber ops isn’t some “classic racist rhetoric”, it’s acknowledging reality. This is a country where you can be executed for watching the wrong movie. Pretending that’s morally equivalent to U.S. hypocrisy is lazy relativism.

Yes, the U.S. has done awful things. Yes, our media should be more critical. But no, I’m not going to pretend North Korean IT operatives raising money for a weapons program isn’t a serious issue just because the U.S. also has nukes. That’s not nuance, that’s deflection
Brains also have several other inputs that an RL algorithm trained from raw data (pixels/waves etc) don't have:

- Millions of years of evolution (and hence things like walking/swimming/hunting are usually not acquired characteristics even within mammals)

- Memory - and I don't mean the neural network raw weights. I mean concepts/places/things/faces and so on that is already processed and labeled and ready to go.

- Also we don't know what we don't know - how do cephalopods/us differ in 'intelligence'?

I am not trying to poo-poo the Dreamer kind of work: I am just waiting for someone to release a game that actually uses RL as part of the core logic (Sony's GT Sophy comes close).

Such a thing would be so cool and would not (necessarily) use pixels as they are too far downstream from the direct internal state!
I mean, exec already exists, so you can become anything anyways.
will this have a curated free submission of tools or its just a personal tracker of tools ?

I am asking because if this keeps being curated would benefit on having a clean repository of tools.
Chess is a very simple game, and having basic general reasoning skills is more than enough to learn how to play it. It's not some advanced mathematics or complicated human interaction - it's a game with 30 or so fixed rules. And chess manuals have numerous examples of actual chess games, it's not like they are pure text talking about the game.

So, the fact that LLMs can't learn this sample game despite probably including all of the books ever written on it in their training set tells us something about their general reasoning skills.
My Dell XPS-15 laptop's screen was falling off. To fix it, I drilled holes right though the border area of the screen and fitted 4 bolts so that the screen stays with the laptop. My colleagues were horrified to see large bolts at the back of the screen, but everything worked like a charm.

Not sure where you're getting the "overturned" part, but if you're trying to point out the the DNC runs roughshod over party members, then you're right only in the sense that they suck.

What sucks more is having a two-party system -- the game is pretty well rigged by that. Voters have the choice of the lesser of two evils. But at least there's a choice involved.

So, comrade, you have failed to sway me. I don't put party before country, even if I was a party member. I doubt you can say the same.

Not so independent --- and the proof is 'stable coins'.

The simple fact that tying crypto to fiat is the only way to achieve stability undermines the basic argument for crypto's utility and voids much of the rationale for it's existence.

What you're left with is really just another con and the world's most famous con artist is fully on board.

30% seems like a low ball offer when you’re the one taking on all of the risk while they’re hiding inside a giant impenetrable fortress.

The moral issue aside, anyone who accepts less than 200% is a sucker. Otherwise it’s better to just get a real job.

When? In my grandparents generation (born late 1800s to early 1900s) moving to either try to start a farm in the US or to leave a failing farm for a job in town at the local whatever factory was very common.

Post WW2 for the boomers was loaded with people flooding to all kinds of industrial boom cities.

After that it was hollowing out of the rust belt and moving out of cities to suburbs due to the lead/crime epidemic.

Then rich cities boomed back with millennials in a continuous feedback loop where the successful ones became more desirable as money brought attractions/activities/restaurants, draining the failing ones even more.

Then 2020 was the brief mega disruption where people thought the internet might catch on and they found out the vast majority of white collar jobs can be done from home so the fanned out to all of the nice and cheap suburbs, mountain towns, etc. Now the Internet fad has worn off so that’s reversing a bit.

Moving in the US has been very common until this brief lull where you could change jobs without relocating thanks to remote work.

Unfortunately we’re going backwards so it wouldn’t surprise me if constant relocation resumes.
The sooner Europe turns away from the U.S., the better. I understand that realpolitik is at play, but the U.S. can barely afford to fight the Houthis at the moment, nevermind an entire planet who evicts their military bases.

> Ahh... the age old, "just do better" position for neurodivergent people. Classic bigotry.

I think you're too eager to throw personal attacks on those who raise valid points that are you feel are uncomfortable to address.

You should be aware that engineering is a social activity that requires hard skills. In any project that employs more than one person, you need to be able to interact with others. This means being able to effectively address and interact with others around you.

If you give anyone a choice, anyone at all, on who they work with, they will of course favor those who they are able to effectively interact with.

This is not bigotry, is it?
Yeah sure, I know that a lot of people make 6 figures. The comparison to switzerland is not that great though, giving the cost of living. There is not much difference of me getting a 100k CHF in switzerland or 60k€ in germany
During my middle school days, we lived in a small town for a little while (read: A place where i was allowed to take my bicycle out onto the main road).

After school, I used to spend a lot of time just hanging out around some TV and radio repair shops and just watched them work. They used to be friendly and gave me parts like spare motors, lights that were lying around from broken Walkmans they wouldn't repair. I took those motors and added to my bicycle as a "dynamo light" , built "wired RC car" etc ...

Fast forward to a few years ago when i got into building racing drones, soldering certain tiny wires was difficult for me. I went to a nearby mobile repair shop to get that done and he was happy to help me out.

I owe a lot of my curiosity and my knowledge today to these repair shops.

It's not a good thing that our electronics are becoming less and less repairable these days. No wonder these repair shops are vanishing as the time progresses.

The closest thing to that we have these days are makerspaces. At our local makerspace we encourage people try to fix their broken electronics instead of throwing them away. But I feel like there should be more.
Our generation shuddered in terror when we were asked to translate a spreadsheet to code while the spreadsheet continued to evolve.

This generation will shudder when they are asked to bring discipline to deployments built from github actions.
I like the idea. On one hand it promotes usung heroes, people who did good for their community. On the other hand it helps establishing role models.

It's better if kids have these people as role models than random rock stars or movie stars.
Coincidentally was just chatting about this to my wife.

All of my productivity pretty much stems from blocking distraction.

Rarely has the work been hard in itself. Sure I’ve been lost a few times, but imo you can almost always break it down into some manageable chunk.

But fighting the boredom when dopamine hits are clicks away is a savage battle.

Phone in another room, headphones on with just-loud-enough no-lyrics techno, distracting websites blocked, or ones I need have their newsfeeds removed (using extensions I’ve written myself in some cases).

Yet the danger comes from tools I can’t block because I need them, ChatGPT, Google, Wikipedia. Pursuing any interesting curiosity that arises during work can lead to a dangerous rabbit hole.
Feels like some kind of astroturfing. I found it very sad seeing how many people had interacted with the posts on good faith. How are we going to deal with this kind of engagement farming in our online communities going forward? Do we need AIs looking for other AIs and flagged accounts?
they weren't mentioned on the article
Spare parts are expensive in general in India. Add to the fact that there are unscrupulous repair centers, I am certain that the theft of genuine parts happen regularly.
I already mentioned model checkers one option. There are also other memory safe languages besides Rust. Whether an existing tool finds a bug in an existing C code is a different question though. I would have expected a double close to be found by GCC's analyzer, but I haven't tried for this particular bug (in simple cases it certainly find s it: https://godbolt.org/z/rzr9zT619). In general, it these tools find bugs more easily in well written C code, but do not help much when code is convoluted. But not writing convoluted code is more important than the choice of programming language anyway.
There may only be a smallish number of genes that are unique to humans or chimps, but obviously that is not the only source of differences between the two species. The first press release you linked states that,

> At the protein level, 29 percent of genes code for the same amino sequences in chimpanzees and humans.

There are about 20,000 known protein-coding genes in the human genome [1], so that alone refutes the notion that there are only about 700 differences unique to humans. Besides novel unique and changes in the protein sequences themselves, changes in gene regulation is another obvious source of differences.

I don’t like Trump and I think it’s dystopian that we have basically a reality tv star in the white house.

However - I do think it’s interesting how his over the top bravado is translated into stupidity by the media. Like he is all about shock and awe negotiating. He doesn’t mean everything he says or does in a direct way, much of it is for effect. When he drops massive tariffs on everyone at once, it’s intended to force people to the table to negotiate with an uncomfortable starting position for them.

Obviously there are side effects in the market, and it is kind of disrespectful in the current political culture, but I think it remains to be seen whether these will even be long term effects. If a few major countries capitulate in the next couple of weeks I think the market will probably catch its breath.

In this case trump probably feels that he has the leverage to achieve a net positive arrangement and not just a neutral one. If someone is treating you badly for a while, which is not objectively true about the EU necessarily but clearly trump thinks it, it’s normal human behavior to not settle for a draw unless you are the weaker party.

The media is almost doing him a favor in a way, like portraying him as being so crazy that he “just might do it”. They’re giving him a mad dog aura. Hmm.

Iced coffee in Australia seems to automatically imply sweet with lots of milk (or even ice cream). This is very jarring when you expect the default “iced coffee” to be black coffee over ice.
Key word, "if".

Trump hasn't stated that goal. It's unclear he has a particular goal in mind other than "trade deficits bad, tariffs can fix trade deficits therefore tariffs good".
It feels like a clickbait. I felt exactly the same as you: very catching and interesting premise, then barely any content. As you said, there is nothing wrong with short blog posts, but this one in particular feels unfinished.
I can't speak for other places but graduating into the Icelandic market at the time was brutal. The state was effectively bankrupt at the time.
I think the tension comes from the fact that the term "neurodivergent" doesn't have a specific clinical definition, it's a catch all term that is often used in a colloquial manner that lacks a meaningful diagnosis behind it.

Typically, in a context where practical accomodations are being discussed one would want to address specific needs. A person with dyslexia isn't going to need the same accomodations as someone with ADHD, for example

They physically broke into our nation's Capital. That is not a 'politically expedient' statement. That is not 'protesting'. They interrupted our Government and government activity had to be postponed. THEY STOPPED THE GOVERNMENT, the election process, and by extension the peaceful transfer of how that had never be prevented before in the nations history. That is not protesting no matter how many air quotes you put around it.

And after they broke in, for this first time in history the traitorous, racist, loser Confederate flag was flown inside out capital building.
> Anyone (criminal or otherwise) should know never to store passwords in their browser and to always log out of sensitive sessions.

I'm not aware of any meaningful differences between using the browser's password vault vs. using a local password manager's vault. They get targeted the same and are not meaningfully different in their workings. Most you could bring up is browser data syncing, which there are other reasons to turn off anyhow if you don't trust the corporations.

I don't know where is this even coming from though, the article doesn't address anything like this prior to the quoted bit.

Kind of fair on the sensitive sessions thing, but only just kind of. If a system is sensitive, it should have a short keepalive in the first place. Blaming the user is not an effective security strategy, much like how saying "skill issue" is not an effective mitigation strategy for memory mgmt vulnerabilities of C code.

Wild article though. I hope the guy turns over a better leaf.

Texting in network was a fixed rate per text (later unlimited) and then texting out of network was crazy like 10 cents a message.

You thought blue bubble was bad, it literally cost you money to talk to people who chose another carrier.

The texting culture had funny side effects then because of it. You would get roasted for multiple messages when one would suffice. :)
That line threw me too,

> Before, you had to go socialize with friends; now, you can just get drunk with a bunch of strangers.

"Before" what? I think being antisocial and/or drinking are as old as humanity.
