Maybe there is a difference in phone addiction management if they are allowed to use it every 45 minutes and if they are forced to be abstinent for 7 hours straight.

I personally would've guessed many immediate positive effects just from a phone ban in school, TFA claims they have a measurement against that.

> We do have multiple time zones in Europe.

We mostly have CET and there are minuscule +1 and -1 on both sides.

Badly editorialized title.

You don't ask for proofs to print them out, put them in your drawer, and brag around that you own the proofs for these exercises.

You ask Claude for proofs to help your understanding. Understanding is the exact same activity as verifying.

So.. Why NT? Is it fast? Is it secure? Does it allow modern features? Is it hackable? Or why?

Why is this thing so fast? I type 3 + 4, hit alt+p and the result appears instantly! (Or the better question: why are all the other things so slow?) I submitted it to <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50259214>!

A very small, fast and responsive JS smalltalk environment.

Commands:

  * Alt+P runs a line or selection and Pastes the result.
  * Alt+D runs the line or selection.
  * Alt+I runs the line or selection, and inspects the result. If you hit Alt+I on on a line that consist only of an object name, it opens the Inspector.

It has a JS bridge, demo with jQuery, a mandala.

.. why not? They need models, models are free, so they grab them. They have time to sort them out later.

https://squeak.js.org/demo/simple.html this is canvas not DOM/SVG. It doesn't support fonts/text. Its text support feels less janky than I expected, select, copy, paste work, but it is still not browser-native.

I don't know how to start Amber in the browser and couldn't find demos.

Why don't they make a DOM/SVG front-end for the browsers? (Not canvas!)

It could serve as the engine for new, fun, interactive websites!

It's ironic because the article (and many comments in the previous submission) are about how one shouldn't mess with user data to show fake engagement!

> > The challenge however is, is it that those who engage in such hobbies have decline slowed. Or are they able to engage in those hobbies due to not declining.

> Maybe by comparing the comparative cognitive of twins, one of whom has a hobby and the other doesn’t?

I don't see how that would help in this case?

OTOH I'd encourage anyone who thinks that curl bash is a good idea to keep distributing their stuff via curl bash.

ai;dr: a bench result is not randomized, and it returns cached result somewhere.

My opinion: (some) bench results should run on randomized data.

The elite won't need to sell anything to anyone. With lands, mines, solar energy what would they need people for?

I'm positive that the elite will soon only need a really really small number of people (especially in their vicinity) for their happiness. Robots will be able to provide food, safety, entertainment, health, in a self-sustaining manner.

I predict that if we let the elite do whatever they want, they would eliminate common people (actively or passively) because they wouldn't need them.

In my opinion the only thing that can stop this scenario unfolding is the government which currently has the power over the elite, and currently is governed by the people (more or less). I frankly don't think any other scenario is realistic (e.g. a number of Robin Hood terrorists appear, or the elite just wouldn't let people die because of their activities).

Currently I strongly support the idea of disempowering the elite: making it a law that a single person can have at most X amount of wealth. (For organizations and funds that would be wealth/member.) Also there need to be more guarantees that the government (only holder of power) is controlled by the people and is working for the people.

Off: apparently both Firefox and Chromium gives F1-F8 to websites to use if they ask nicely.

I don't get what you mean? Granted, I didn't even try reading your message, since the language that you're using, English, is not sound, complete, decidable (or even defined).

> Learning what infinitesimals were and how useful they were for understanding the rates of change was an actual eureka moment

What do you mean by infinitesimals here?

> I wish we'd stop getting replies like this to articles.

I wish we got more such replies like that to articles. This is a confusing times, and social interaction helps in several ways.

> People seem to forget that LLMs copied human writing.

This is literally not true, but more importantly the conclusion you trying to use it for is blatantly false.

EU has laws on how to serve EU citizens and wjcl complies to them by not serving EU citizens.

They are like:

    Gen X   -> Millennial ->    Gen Z   ->  Gen Alpha
  1965-1980     1981-1996     1997-2012     2013-2024

it's really stupid, and people shouldn't use it (flag the article!).

Say "people born between YY and YY" or "people aged between YY and YY" instead.

> Both are likely to accumulate features over time, but at very different rates (we'll hold off on features for years until we're satisfied that their value justifies the added complexity to the language, as keeping that relatively low is very important to us).

This strategy will still navigate Java into a random local optimum like it happened with other languages (that value backward compatibility), just more slowly. The greedy algorithm does that. Even if you do it slowly and you are extra careful that each step indeed betters the language.
