I like the article,l and the first thing I thought was the same as you;
To manually help the recommendations algo by assigning 'not interested' tags BUT leaving this as standard routine for billions of users is not a effective option and has indeed measureable affects on society while misusing human behavior to collect money from advertisers. As it boils down again in the root of the money system behavior, to manipulate and collect money. It is not intended to do so.

I like the article to just acknowledge the fact as status quo. Understanding the system means to deliberate from it in the first place before asking how anything can achieve a better purpose for society in general.

On a deeper level I guess it's even more about the understanding how our subconscious mind is modeled in society and how we unconscious select information in our daily activities. I mean the whole mass and every individual itself.
I agree about this particular comment -- your interpretation is likely correct. I was just trying to connect it larger, to the decision making skills that I'm working on (and thought might be interesting to a HN audience).

FWIW, the Pigs incident is widely cited as an example within this sphere. It has nothing to do with whether the advisor was previously skilled -- it has more to do with thinking about how people understand and use the information I communicate. (and that using numbers instead of words seems to be considered "best practice" in the decision making community).

You act as if we were helpless. You're just seeing the ugly side of "average" people. How quick they are to form blobs around novel information. How lacking in critical thought most people are. It sounds almost absurdly cynical but my experience has made me a cynical person about most other people and their ability to discriminate further than the two categorical blobs of "right" and "left".

Not to mention that focusing on YouTube is a minor thing. Especially when the quality of cognition can be radically changed with diet and habit. Imagine all the people drinking milkshakes from Starbucks, enjoying that sugar and caffeine rush. Remember, it's not a coffee company (profit wise), it's a milkshake company that blends in coffee.

Look at sugar content of their items.
I agree. I also really appreciate the build quality in the remote.

I am a bit disappointed by their slowness in supporting Google Home by default - hence my project. It would be a lot better if they actually open-sourced the code for the gateway.
I archived a bunch of my old worlds as well, though I need to go back and organize them and triplicate the backups as well as getting back into some of those worlds and playing around again on an updated rig. Some worlds I had to cut short due to diminishing FPS the more and more I built (shakes fist at stair roofs).

One thing I wish I had access to though were the builds I've done on public servers.

I'll agree with the "nothing magical" statement, but I disagree with most of the rest of that comment.

Certainly there's nothing "magical" about Redux. After all, the core `createStore` function can be written in about 25 lines if you leave out error handling, and the entire core lib in about 100 lines [0]. React-Redux does have a ton of optimization work internally, but conceptually it's pretty simple too - components subscribe to the store, call getState(), extract what they need, and re-render [1]. And that's the great thing: Redux is, as its tagline says, "a _predictable_ state container" - there _is no magic_ involved.

What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that the Redux core is a _starting point_. One of my favorite quotes is:

> "Redux is a platform for developers to build customized state management for their use-cases, while being able to reuse things like the graphical debugger or middleware"

We encourage Redux users to use whatever abstractions are appropriate for their own applications, including writing their own. In addition, Redux was designed from the ground up to be extensible [2]. As a result, the Redux ecosystem has exploded. My Redux addons catalog [3] lists somewhere around 2000 Redux-related libraries, utilities, and tools, ranging from action/reducer generation utils to side effects management addons to abstractions for fetching data from REST APIs.

I've seen dozens of "Redux, but.." knockoffs. Most of them wind up throwing away the key design decisions that make Redux special. In particular, the concepts of plain object actions and reducer functions are what truly enable time-travel debugging and easy serialization of state.

My current estimate is that somewhere between 50-60% of React apps currently use Redux. Redux has gained adoption in the Angular, Ember, and Vue communities as well, and inspired dozens of similar libraries, like NgRx, VueX, and more.

Sure, I expect that some of that "market share" will slip over time, especially with the release of the new React context API soon. But, I also feel safe in saying that Redux will be around for a long time.

They are frequently built using feed-in tariffs, which guarantees that electricity will have a positive fixed price.

4,000 IU per day is the recommended supplement limit.

You can synthesize 1000 IU from 10 minutes in the sun if... you're young, have light skin (of which most is visible), don't wear sunscreen, it's the middle of the day & summer, and you're lying down to get roasted.

4,000 IU is equivalent to getting burnt to a crisp.
The entire article --- published, it seems, formally, in a well-known magazine --- that Alexander is criticizing here is 2200 words long. Relatively long for an opinion piece.

Meanwhile, individual citations within the piece that Alexander wrote are longer than 2000 words. In his rebuttal, he prides himself for having written "thousands of words" to pre-but his critics. There's nothing you can say in 10 words that Alexander can't say in 1000.

Contrary to what I think a lot of Alexander's fans think, this isn't a good thing. Clarity in writing is a sign of clarity of thought. But I think something even more sinister is happening with SlateStarCodex, a blog I would describe as "not necessarily a white supremacist blog, but surely a favorite among educated white supremacists". It's a tactic anyone who's trudged through Mencius Moldbug knows well: if you write every possible thing about racism, you can superficially insulate your arguments from any conceivable criticism. People will be inclined to believe the best of you: friends and respected acquaintances will have, in the past, approvingly cited your writing before. Pointing out that the emperor's new clothes might, maybe, can I be reading this right, include a pointy white hood? That's pretty awkward and embarrassing.

It's worth pointing out that in the restrained setting of a 1000 word response, Alexander manages to squeeze in a lot of disingenuous snark. He repeatedly refers to pieces that the author he's commenting on didn't write, simply because they appeared in the same magazine. He quotes a line from a previous piece, about how we tend to see racists as monsters, despite the fact that the whole piece agrees with him. He scare-quotes the author's experience ("moved in progressive circles") after snarking about not questioning his lived experience, before questioning his lived experience. At the end of it, I'm no closer to knowing what it is Alexander actually thinks about racism.

But that is, I think, his objective.
Depression and anxiety do horrendous damage to cognition, scramble health, cost wages over time, and increase all-cause mortality. And a lot is driven by irrational thoughts.

That being said, imho there is absolute something there to the "too rational" bit. One gets really good at coming up with reasons something will not work. Negativity bias becomes overwhelming, and hope and optimism get swamped by a unproductive abundance of cynicism.
Being an over-achiever has also been linked to developing chronic fatigue syndrome:

> in Shoeburyness in Southeast Britain

Completely off topic, but this made me chuckle, and I thought it might be interesting to point out.

This sounds completely weird to a British ear. For some reason, don't ask me why, we don't ever refer to North/South/East/West in the context of 'Britain' but only in the context of the countries within it. Southeast England is the 'correct' phrasing.

Just an interesting and funny example of completey unintuitive local language quirks being exposed by an outside perspective. Of course it's totally logical to say 'Southeast Britain', and seeing that it looks weird made me, for the first time, notice it and question why we don't.
I'm not seeing anywhere in the parent comment that implies that people's desires are static and immutable. On the contrary it points out that, "today's mainstream pro-democracy/social democracy views used to be regarded as radical a couple of centuries ago" to provide an example of changing preferences. The dynamic nature of people's desires is part of why I think Youtube does so well. It reacts very effectively changes in what's trending.

I think emotions, impulses, short and long term desires, and the like are felt across many forms of life, to various degrees. I base this on my experiences with life directly. Thought definitely advances evolutionary success more than simple unthinking behaviors would - if only for the flexibility afforded. A state machine might flip between billions of possible states in reactions to things, whereas evolved brains flip through their past experiences, emotions (as a representative of external and internal factors), and so on to arrive at some perceived preferencial act/outcome. My bet is the organic model winds up taking fewer resources to achieve more robust results.
Or maybe the reason he writes so much is that to write briefly is to leave yourself open to misinterpretation, and anyone who says heterodox things about this topic will be eagerly misinterpreted, if they've left any room to be.

Interesting concept, but the problem it intends to solve has already been solved by JavaScript frameworks. Instead of having to define DOM elements twice, in HTML and in JavaScript, Vue, Angular, React, etc. all automatically map data to DOM within the template.

Also, I have concerns about the high level of abstraction -- it's not normally a good thing, and I don't think it's justified in this situation.

It's an advantage if you assume the current grid is a great setup and shouldn't be changed. With the increasing frequency of severe weather events taking down the grid in areas, the decentralized storage that a more renewables-focused grid would probably require would probably be a good thing to have.
So you're not actually answering the topic at hand or the majority of my replies... OK.

> If this new labour force had not appeared are you seriously suggesting that UK employers would just have paid more and more to attract workers from other sectors?

Yes?! That's how it works... You literally agreed in your previous comment that part of the reason for wage stagnation was the extra new labour force.

> How would they remain competitive?

The same way they were competitive before 2004 I guess.

If your company relies on low skilled manual labourers working 12h a day for minimum wage or you go bankrupt... You should go bankrupt. It stops you from modernising and increasing productivity long term.

I used the tool called ps_mem.py which measures both private memory and resident memory, at the moment with 50 tabs it took 4.5GB.

Those RAM was really fully taken, unlike the VSZ. With more TABs my 8GB system will start slow down, as swap kicks in.

Yes I used the suspender but disabled it, sometimes it causes issues for me. I now depend on OneTab to use my computer properly.

Also, for special TABS it can eat so much memory that my system essentially stops responding suddenly, which is really annoying as you never know when it will happen. Can Chrome limit certain bad behavior TABs especially when it starts to take up all the memories?

I know each Tab is a process so it will not crash the whole browser, but the memory usage should be better handled no matter what.

KRISTEN LEANNE X URBAN DECAY SWATCH AND REVIEW ON BLACK SKIN
Do What You’re Meant to Do
I just don’t think it’s anywhere near as egregious as you make it sound. If he had literally told us to ignore our eyes, yes that would be bad. But he explicitly said that things were close, and that variations in the plank can cause slight differences, and that averaging a few trials would show extremely close results. Sure, you have to “take it on faith,” but it’s a very reasonable explanation, and by the end of the demonstration (when you see the much larger difference with the hollow cylinders) it becomes clear (or at least extremely easy to believe) that the tiny variations in earlier experiments were indeed the result of “impurities” in the physical medium rather than attempts to conceal inaccuracies in the physics claims being demonstrated.
Spotify Coördinator: OSS project that injects whimsy into data visualizations
No, not needing storage is an advantage under any conceivable scenario. Storage of any kind is bulky, expensive, and dangerous.
I feel like I'm having the same discussion, here, on HackerNews, when I talk to people about Emacs. Yes, technically we can do anything. In the end it's all code, if my time was free I could just do anything :)

But sensible defaults are important. Software design is important. Unix basically skirts the issue by throwing all these decisions in the user's lap. I can take these decisions, but I don't always want to have to do it. And there's many situations where you can't necessarily do it, either due to technical limitations, political limitations, budget constraints, etc.

In short, I'm glad systemd is winning. Sure, the average user loses a bit on the purity front but he gains a lot on the practical front.
Many IPFS nodes only serve local clients, never serve remote clients or the larger network, and don't expect to be throttled by peers.

In short, IPFS is basically an alternative content addressed routing system that tends to have some slight endpoint caching.

Bittorrent at least heavily penalizes nodes that don't play ball rather quickly. So it rewards nodes that disseminate info as they acquire it, and make it trivial for storage to participate.

I don't see IPFS as solving distributed storage problems at all. Neither do the creators, which is why they started a related project called FileCoin to help with that. Too bad about that.

If you think they're not "all that different" then I refer you to the white papers. I'm disinclined to play a longer adversarial lecture game.
That's even more of a facile cop-out.

I'm not the person you asked, but I figured I'd add my two cents. I have tried two different medications, with very different results in the side-effects department.

The first one I tried for about a year was Adderall (the regular release one, not the XR). With Adderall I noticed significant loss of appetite, to the point that I had to actively remind myself to eat, like other people here have mentioned. It was interesting, because I would feel my stomach sending the "I'm hungry" signal, but it was trivial to ignore it. It wasn't until I would go 12 hours without eating and start to feel light headed that I would realize, "oh... I need to eat something." However, I still enjoyed food very much. Unlike someone else in these comments said, I didn't feel like I was merely ingesting sustenance vs. enjoying my meal. Whether a few hours or 12 since my last meal, as soon as I started eating I would think "oh wow, I was really hungry. and this is tasty."

Currently I am taking Vyvanse. All other things aside, one of the very noticeable differences between Vyvanse and Adderall (for me) is the loss of appetite. With the Vyvanse, although I am able to go without eating for much longer than without, I still get hungry. With no meds I might say I feel like I'm starving after 4 hours. With Vyvanse I might say that after 5-6, though I will usually eat before that, because it is definitely noticeable in a normal time frame. With Adderall, I had to actively remind myself to eat, otherwise I might get dizzy and light headed first.
