I let my then 13 yr old daughter go around Beijing by bus/subway when we lived there 10 years ago; she had a phone. Felt perfectly safe. Same thing in Tokyo. I'm not sure I would have allowed that had we been living in a big US city like LA, Chicago or NYC -- maybe it's just as safe, IDK, but the fact that anyone in the US can own/carry a weapon makes me feel much less safe than in other developed countries.
Woah. As an adult man with five kids, two of them infants, the most natural thing in the world is for them to be present in almost every second of my life.
It’s not difficult at all. Minutes after birth, naked baby was on my naked chest, and bonding started. This never felt contrary to my instinct.
The final frontier of display tech (as far as being able to elicit any physiologically possible eye response) is a pair of tunable lasers. You really can't go much farther than that for emissive displays! We're almost saturated (no pun intended) on useful resolution, so I expect color to be the next area of focus.
Does that apply to their tablet as well or just streaming devices ereader and smart speakers? Giving up android on their tablet would kill their whole app library i don't see them doing that lightly.
Anecdotally I found that it was very easy to just throw everything at the LLM. That was fine until I realized once I got stuck that I was basically lost. It only took 2 weeks for years of knowledge to feel very “foreign”.
Recently I’ve been trying to combat this by learning things “deeper” IE. yes I can secure and respond to container based threats but how do containers actually work deep down?
So far I think it’s working well and as an odd plus it’s actually helping me use AI more efficiently when I need to.
Great migration execution. The nginx reverse proxy method during DNS propagation is a smart way. we utilize a comparable approach when transitioning workloads across Kubernetes clusters but the traffic management occurs at the ingress controller level with weighted routing. I am wondering if you thought about containerizing any part of this stack during the transition or if the decision to use bare metal was deliberate in order to maintain a manageable migration scope???
For me at least I always remember it being referred to as 16-bit, in all the gaming and computer magazines etc. Part of the 16-bit home computers; I remember the Atari ST being referred to that way as well.
I don’t remember seeing references to 32-bit until the 386/486 days on the home computer side and Sega 32X on the console side.
Do folks see a mention of Claude as indicative of an ad? I usually say it because at work we've got a couple different options and I like to mention which one in particular I was using. But maybe I'll just start saying AI on forums unless someone asks me to specify.
I mean, I don't know what "decisions" would be made but often people say we are "dealing with" emotions or stress related to something that comes out in the news.
The crux of my stress on this is that riding the light rail is a very common thing for me and millions of my neighbors. In fact we are shocked because we consider it so safe. The LRT should be the safest place in the city, given the cameras, the crowds, the security guards and the vigilant operators.
To think that a vulnerable, female high school student was attacked, broad daylight, onlookers looking, mob of boys (high school I would assume) is just beyond the pale. Nobody did nothing, and the attack continues after she disembarks? It's just unthinkable. There is a Jesuit Catholic boys' school just up the line from where she boarded. Were none of the Brophy boys on hand to step in, to say "stop it" or do anything about it?
And to watch the interview with the mother was just the last straw for me. How upset she is now. Her daughter means the world to her; she couldn't protect her, and she can't "fix this" for her. It's heartwrenching. It should've been safe, especially for a girl like her, so close to adulthood, but legally a child.
"free range kids" doesn't mean playing outside in a suburban cul-de-sac; it's the ability to go outside the immediate neighborhood on their own (walking, cycling, or public transport) -- stuff I did all the time as a 11-13 year old that is pretty rare these days. I don't think I've ever seen a preteen on the local city transport alone
So every time a post about successful public transit comes up, we get the full gamut of responses:
- "This wouldn't work in the US because of X". X is usually land area. Ok, but what about China?
- "We should fix some [corner case]" like the cost of parking;
- "It's too expensive here". Why is it expensive?
The key theme from all of this is central planning. You might be tempted to say that Japanese railways are private. Yes and no. And they certainly didn't start that way.
Back to the article, I find it weird to write an article in 2026 about the effectiveness of railways without talking about China. China is only mentioned once and that was in terms of passenger numbers. Japan still has more annual passenger trips than China (barely) but China also has 11 times the population and 25 times the land area.
Also, China's railroad network largely didn't even exist in 2005, certainly not the high speed rail. Look at the top metro systems by rail length [1] and 11 of the top 12 are in China (Moscow is the outlier). All of those systems are pretty new too. Chengdu at #4 was started in 2010.
According to this [2], Chengdu's population in 2010 was ~7.5 million. So you can't really argue the city was designed for it or it built early.
Most arguments against regional and metro rail systems can be debunked with "But China".
i dont think that way, ai will became better, but human-taste writing just feels different. like hand-made furniture vs factory-made furniture. they have different class.
That was my first thought, but it's also possible that diplomatic partners like Pakistan (and through them, the US) get notification of impending announcements. idk if Iranian government insiders/diplomats are legally able to trade futures due to sanctions.
