many narratives are true when applied to the context they come from almost all narratives become false when they seek to be universally true all narratives are evil when they become an all-encompassing, identity-forging gospel

it is truly idiotic to compare a explicitly deterministic process like compilation to an explicitly stochastic process like LLM inference
effectfully@effectfully

Make your bets, folks: will there be a more idiotic article this year or is this the top? If your compiler breaks, you report it to the development team and they fix it once and for all. If jipity wipes your production database, you cry on twitter among a hoard of imbeciles doomed to replicate each other's mistakes in a perpetual cycle. Compilers are maintained by competent people. Your vibe-coded garbage is maintained by you and a GigaClippy compounding bad choices over time.

lots of commentary from people who implemented very bespoke ways for their toddlers to use tech (e.g. I let mine use my phone to talk to grandma, exclusively) but they all miss the point that the normie version of this is "plug my kid's developing brain to us-east-1 [CONT 👇]

Parenting is hard etc but I’m sorry if you’re allowing your toddler 2-3 hours of screen time per day you actually are failing them and you’re failing as a parent. This past week I saw at least a dozen toddlers running around with devices, some with phones clipped to their strollers(!). Your toddler has only been in the world for a short time. It’s still very interesting to them if you let them look up at it.

llm's are stochastic, their makers know it so if you make an issue with "claude wiped my prod db" they'll point you to their disclaimer and some best practices e.g. don't give prod keys to the damn thing stop glorifying comprehension debt use ai as a tool not as your fkin brain

"nobody reads compiler output" of course they don't bc it is largely deterministic* and there's an expectation of "if gcc wipes my harddrive I can post an issue on gh and the team will solve it" * i know i know but STILL

@esrtweet rolling distro does have that downside but ime (ca 1 yr daily driving arch) only minor hiccups the snapper + limine + pacman hook combo is brilliant (omarchy has a great implementation, I copied it almost line by line) just don't update on monday morning lol

Question for the X hivemind: I'm seriously considering switching my main machine from Pop!_OS (a reskinned Ubuntu) to Arch, probably CachyOS. The reason is I'm attracted to the rolling-release concept. Getting really tired of waiting 6 months for my development tools to upgrade after they ship. I understand the downside: Arch doesn't protect me from upstream breakage. The plan to deal with that is to install snapper so I can revert to an earlier, working version of my system if things go badly awry. If you think there are any reasons this is a really bad plan, tell me now.

every time a piece of writing contrasts two things my mental AI detector goes off now and i'm wondering what it would be like to write in a style where you just never contrast two things ever. things-in-themselves only

How much data did we need before we understood the harmful societal effects of smoking and implemented restrictions? Actually, it was a lot. A lot of data was needed because the cigarette companies wanted to milk their golden goose as long as possible. The cost of paying class action lawsuits in the future was far less than the cash they could make in the moment. This is the same incentive today with social media and their app makers. Some parents try to organize their other classroom parents together in a coalition to limit the apps. This seems to work but it’s so few and far between. A broad societal moratorium on social media for people under 16yo diminishes NOTHING and probably helps millions and millions of kids and then these kids as they enter adulthood. It would also help parents. I, personally, have strict social media rules for myself and my kids. And I will keep pushing back on my kids when they ask for instagram because that’s my job as their dad. But having a broad moratorium would make the lives of all parents far simpler and, in hindsight, will be proven as the right public health policy thing to have done.

ok for those who seem confused the crux of the matter is the difference between self-control AND *performing* self-control if you're not careful you end up teaching the kid to downplay their needs & to merely mask convincingly enough to please authority figures this is an important skill in itself, but it's qualitatively different from having the skill to *actually* calm one's self down

@augustiner_h i agree w/ this - lots of GUI bloat too, but the answer isnt TUI bloat that is an even shittier UX in manys cenarios

TUIs are not good sorry yall a CLI is a utility, and situational. this should not be confused with stuffing a full interactive GUI into a low capability platform. "lets ignore all the great UI technology of the last 20 years and build some caveman shit"

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine. What went wrong? In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms: 1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder. 2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology. 3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it. The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress. This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does. Link to paper: michael-inzlicht.squarespace.com/s/The-psycholo…
