"I think that is the beauty of writing, the raw , unedited emotions of the person behind every words either for entertainment or educational purposes, is what makes it special"

- the article, clearly expressing the intent of its own mistakes and contextualizing them in the era of LLM-borne "perfect" text

Raven in Snowcrash? Not quite ultrasonic iirc but extremely thin, like the wire developed in three body problem

It’s important to remember this community is under the umbrella of a massive venture capital firm.

The best analogy of zk-proofs I've heard is to suppose you have found Waldo in "Where's Waldo," and want to prove that you have done this without revealing the location.

You could take a piece of paper (much larger than the picture/book), and cut out a waldo-shaped hole it and position the paper such that he is shown in the hole. Then, when you show it to the challenger, they know that you have found him without you revealing where he is.

cool

Worth mentioning that this is the same design company that blew $35MM on a terrible redesign of Tropicana Orange Juice, which they reverted back within a couple days (but kept the mock orange cap)

A funny parody song of this presentation by the legendary Neil Cicierega (potter puppet pals, ultimate battle of ultimate destiny, brodyquest, mouth sounds, etc…)

can you explain a bit more about this? sounds very interesting

I don't think the article made this differentiation specifically, but I don't see this as blaming technology, but ad-driven companies engineering skinner boxes. It is well understood that advertising companies wreak havoc on children's health (tobacco, body image, sugar, etc). We should hold these companies accountable.

While there were definitely lax restrictions here, there are more factors here (societal pressure, both cultural and literal; the article indicated that study groups and other activities were coordinated solely on social media) that affect one's proneness to phone addiction.

In addition, in the article linked above (and others), parenting is not _the_ bellwether preventative in terms of phone addiction - there are psychological factors, environmental factors, etc.

In addition, there are societal variations across gender that are documented as having an affect on proneness to phone addiction.

Don't let your individual experience override the reality of the situation. This is an issue that is going to require extensive research and potentially regulation.

Here is some peer-reviewed research on how little an affect parent control of phone usage has on phone addiction: https://journals.lww.com/jan/fulltext/2018/04000/does_parent...

There is a multi-billion dollar concerted effort by the largest companies in the world to get an iron grip on the attention of children at a level of granularity never before seen - don't pretend like that isn't a novel cultural force that should be reckoned with.

"What a load of shit", "all these problems are your fault."

Really? This comment just seems like ego-driven parental grandstanding rather than an actual attempt to understand how the first generation born into the era of smartphones and all-the-time internet access might have difficulty negotiating a healthy psyche against a multi-billions dollar oligarchy of companies intentionally seeking to monetize their attention.

Congratulations, your son doesn't seem addicted to their ipod. Cool anecdote; here's actual data about wether or not parental control of phone use has much of an affect on phone addiction (it doesn't): https://journals.lww.com/jan/fulltext/2018/04000/does_parent...

I wonder if they are actually cement, or concrete...

Interesting that they show a usecase involving Vizceral (their traffic visualizer, "intuition engineering"), despite them publicly abandoning the project. Hope this implies they are working on releasing it formally!

Surprised no one has mentioned Dwarf Fortress!

Development began in 2002, and the main author says 1.0 will be out in 14 years!

Extremely complex generative world with a vi-flavored interface. The game itself is like no man's sky/Minecraft.

You can't just "enable multi threading" in a varietal ecology of software applications and contexts.

Also, this is not an argument _against_ containerization. You make no argument or show any evidence of performance benefits bare v. docker.

Yes, it does.

1. Every system has vulnerabilities. You can defend against them.

2. Any improperly configured system can be abused. In particular, the exploit you linked can be completely stopped with a litany of ways. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16030107

Your argument going from "containers are unfit for production, you'll mature out of them one day" to "here's a small, preventable vulnerability" seems more like a security non-sequiter than an actual argument against containerization.

Further, claiming containers are not production ready is empirically and literally negated by them used, in production, by the largest tech companies that have ever existed.

Containers not being good for production.

That's a rather bold claim, care to elaborate?

This is great! Have run up some very expensive bills trying to scale postgres. Eager to try this out.

The ads on this make mobile reading near impossible. It's a shame ads are still this invasive.

Someone posted a comment mentioning that coffee shops are a good metric for cultural development when trying to look for a new city

The initial section about Palantir was very well rehearsed - Zuckerberg immediately clammed up.

saying "it actually does" is a bit of absolutist stretch...

While you may be right about Vinay Prasad being an alarmist (I have no idea), the second article is actually based on a bill written by 7 senators with (seemingly) no relation to Vinay's work.

While I respect the FDAs intentions and notable positive actions, I would like to present several articles from reputable sources describing the FDA as a "revolving door" for various industries - an obvious inlet for corruption, dubious research, delayed actions, etc. As I understand it, this is a well known issue.

I believe it is important to be vigilant and critical when it comes to three letter acronyms.

For me, my biggest complaint is about having to charge yet another device.

Especially now that phones have adopted USB-C, I have to have both a C and micro charger.

On MacOS Sierra, I have moved it to a separate folder and it still tells me to move it to a folder outside of ~/Downloads and there is literally no option to do anything but quit.
