And I feel better knowing that these two representatives haven’t been in the news for their views or for scandals. I’ll have to read the bill to know better.
While I understand the desire to use less vague terminology, to hallucinate usually implies that it is done involuntarily.

Based on your description of your abilities, have you considered that what you're describing is spatial thinking, rather than visual imagery? It is common for people with aphantasia to retain strong spatial cognition.

They also instituted black codes to ensure that the freedmen couldn’t enjoy the same freedoms as their white counterparts, and give their former slavers the same leverages they had previously. The post war institutions were just slavery with a better veneer.

This fits way more with my experience than the other comments so far. And as you say, the indistinct form of imagined things is the same in dreams.

There are some differences I can think of with my dreams. One is that of course it really does feel like you're there in a dream. When I imagine something while awake, it's more like a little model surrounded by nothingness in my head.

Another is that in dreams things are often strange, proportions all wrong, just general weirdness. Imagining while awake, you have control over the form.

There are people in this thread saying that they can essentially replace their reality with imagination while awake, "projecting" the scene in front of them. I can't do that, but I can imagine a scene well enough to get by. Maybe there's not so much Normal vs. Aphantasia at all, but a whole spectrum between the two extremes.
Well, a lot of the inter-state differences, I've never understood.

For example, Massachusetts changed the stair riser height from 7-3/4" to 8-1/4" (https://up.codes/viewer/massachusetts/irc-2015/chapter/3/bui...).

Why do 49 states (I think) have one height and MA has a different one?

Not saying all the differences don't make sense just a fair amount of them. I'm also not an industry professional (despite staring at these codes all day, I'm usually not actually reading them), so honestly asking here.
Let me suggest an alternate summary: The story is a call for welfare.

Have you read your Marx?

No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe, and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged.

Or:

It may be said that of this hard lot no one has any reason to complain, because it befalls those only who are outstripped by others, from inferiority of energy or of prudence. This, even were it true, would be a very small alleviation of the evil. If some Nero or Domitian were to require a hundred persons to run a race for their lives, on condition that the fifty or twenty who came in hindmost should be put to death, it would not be any diminution of the injustice that the strongest or nimblest would, except through some untoward accident, be certain to escape. The misery and the crime would be that any were put to death at all. So in the economy of society; if there be any who suffer physical privation or moral degradation, whose bodily necessities are either not satisfied or satisfied in a manner which only brutish creatures can be content with, this, though not necessarily the crime of society, is pro tanto a failure of the social arrangements.

Some people are able to do a lot more than that, once I was sitting on a plane next to a guy who turned out to be an orchestra conductor - he was silently reading an orchestra score like a book. I mean that was a dense score, some modern symphony for dozens of instruments, and the way he described it to me was he simply hears it in his mind just like if he listened to an orchestra recording. Most incredibly, he said he has never heard this particular music performed before!
Elizabeth Holmes is the only appropriate comparison here. Those others were worshipped because they actually created value. Marissa never did that. In fact, like Holmes, she destroyed quite a bit of it.
1. Both cases grab the image and run it. Better per-layer caching (including very aggressive caching of common layers) is coming soon, so stay tuned.
2. No current equivalent, though there are thoughts on exposing more scaling control knobs (e.g. max-instances, min-instances). Max is easy, min is harder because of the cost implications. GAE was billed on "instance hours" but Run is CPU time, so if you go "min-instances=1" you're paying for a VM. Something like Run on GKE (where you're already paying for the compute) probably makes more sense to expose these controls.
3. Yes, though since Run can be multi-concurrent, for certain (most?) load profiles, you're going to have way fewer cold starts because the instance is already handling requests.

Surprising that this is on front page. Even /r/Androiddev has less upvotes regarding this change. (that too its on /r/AndroidDev for much longer).

This is expected change to developers to move to app bundles. This helps in reducing app size while providing same instant app experience to end users.
History shows the more developed a society (specifically correlated to education and income) the lower its birth rate [1]. Japan is a great example, their population is shrinking (1.44 births per woman vs. a replacement rate of 2.1) although the correlation is universal. Automation leads to development which leads to declining population. IMO the answer is basic income until the population naturally right-sizes, followed by a balance of immigration with social policy either encouraging or discouraging raising children as appropriate.

I'm unsure. Mindless anxious mind wandering (worry) often causes people to imagine worse situations and exaggerate their probably.
This seems so wrong but looking at my working history, there seems to be an element of truth in it. Nice work.

Do you have a citation that mothers at Yahoo complained? Or that mothers at Yahoo were non-trivially worse off than other companies in their situation at that time?

Yeah it's weird; I have a fairly vivid recollection of a picture of page 606 of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", in a blurry photograph taken against a carpet (this is where Snape kills Dumbledore); I can generally remember where on a page I read a passage in a book; but there's no way I "see" the page.

Ditto for other "visualized" things; I just have no idea whether the qualitative experience I have of "visualizing" things is anything like what other people do.

Whenever I read about this phenomenon, there doesn't seem to be a good quasi-objective metric of this subjective capability to visualize -- there's no test or questionnaire I can use to see how my abilities rate against others'.

I think there's room for some experimentation / science here and probably a viral online quiz that would get some lucky content creator a solid stream of interest for years.
A simple disclosure, akin to the GDPR disclosure, doesn't seem unreasonable. Meatspace psychological tests would require informed consent and IRB approval. I agree that a more nuanced definition of what requires disclosure would be preferable (e.g. link tracking and testing button colors seems benign, messing with peoples moods with different content algorithms is not).
That sounds very similar to my experience. Memories in my head can be made up of visual data, but once that data is encoded it doesn't seem to have any interaction with the sensory system.

Imagination lets me recreate the scene, object or face in my mind in order to probe and ask questions, but it no longer seems linked to my senses.
It's quite frequent even if you're standing still. GPS drift, noise and corrections cause a lot of false positives for movement.

Oregon and Georgia, those states make me sad. Don't try to copyright your laws please.
You're trying to get me to say Obama was bad? Yeah, he was. Locking up the unaccompanied Central American kids and incentivizing Mexico to deter migration behind the scenes while putting on a sympathetic face was bad.

That doesn't change the fact that "Orange Man" is in charge now, and is exacerbating the bad policy, AND is encouraging people to hate on top of it. His people are ripping kids out of their parent’s arms. He’s rallying white supremacists, calling entire ethnicities rapists and entire countries shitholes.

You’re looking for excuses to pin the pinheaded totalitarian’s decisions on someone else. It’s always someone else’s fault in MAGAland.
In this case the clue is the word fingerprinting. If someone outside your door was taking fingerprint impressions, your name, and then writing down your license plate and selling that info to anyone with money - would you just let that continue? Unlikely.
The "tool" has created, of itself, a class of lethal risks to uninvolved and nonbeneficiary third parties, through deliberate psychological engineering on the part of the manufacturer, which removing or disabling the "tool" would cure.
How it's the age relevant? I'd guess that the number of engineers and the size of the infrastructure used are far more relevant to just guess how interesting things are.
What's with this trend of blogs putting the full post in the catalog / archive view? It makes it hard to scroll through to find something worth reading - I just want to see titles and a snippet (a hook). If it's interesting, I'll click in.
My team did indeed miss the email from Pete unfortunately, I am not afraid to admit it. We feel bad about it and have sent him a personal apology that he didn't get a reply after 15 years. We are heads down reviewing 3,300 MVP renewal applications until the end of May and his CPM missed it in the flood of emails that comes her way this time of year. Our bad, and we own it and are sorry we made him feel disrespected for his 15 years of contributions to the community and Microsoft.
I used NET SEND to do something similar, a little later on. In my previous experiments, this caused a message to appear on all laptops on the local network, so when it didn't, I started sending... less than savory messages. Screaming into the void, as it were.

Unfortunately, the messages were appearing... on the domain controller.

I think I got a detention and a couple weeks ban from using the computers. Fair enough.
Probably not at any scale beyond serial production, even then, there isn't a Russian powerplant that would offer the thrust/weight performance required for the plane to perform.

I'm sure some of the materials on the F-35 would be very difficult for other countries to make at scale, figuring out how to fabricate parts out of those unusual materials at tolerances required for low-observability would be really tricky. I'm sure there are machinists anywhere who could figure it out, but at that point we're talking about bespoke part production using 98th+ percentile operators. Although skilled labor is cheap is China and Russia, it's pretty untenable to use it to produce a knock-off that'll eventually hold an inferior Chinese/Russian engine.
At least bipartisanship is not dead :-). The name also has a nice Orwellian touch "Taxpayer First Act".
And who will fix that price tag? Do you think ICC will sell their product even a penny short "for the greater benefit of the public"?
I think what you say here carries a lot of meaning into how parents raise children. Kid is not doing something you like, or not doing something you want it to do? No! Don't do that, or Do this! Why? Because I said so. No TV tonight for you! But, why do we not think to negotiate, and to reason? When we apply for a job, we negotiate with our employer for a salary that benefits us both, right? Thats how it should be. What do companies want? What do users want? What is right, what is wrong. I am not sure that any situation can be found involving two or more parties that differs.
Yes the newest one. Not the historical ones.
Wow, wasn't aware. To our understanding, EU also has relatively homogenous building codes. It's the place we've thought we'd probably expand if we ever go international in the distant future.
This IMHO is the biggest issue the U.S. faces today, simply due to the fact that so many secondary issues stem from how conflicted lawmaking is in this country.

I don't know if it's the same way elsewhere. Maybe it is, and it just isn't as widely reported. But the fact remains that we know this to be an issue and we're not campaigning enough to solve it.

The only other issue that I feel is as pervasive is the end of the Fairness Doctrine and the spiral into chaos that ensued.
> The more I read about this the more I feel that the variety in reported inner experience is more to do with the variety in reporting than of the experience itself.

I think there is very strong truth to this. Words get in the way when trying to share internal experiences. Also, by reporting and discussing your experiences, you affect them. Memories of past experiences, and expectations for future experiences, are both affected.

For that reason, and without having digested the scientific literature, I would recommend against labeling oneself as having (or not having) aphantasia.

But then, I feel that way about pretty much all labels, especially ones related to cognition. They're fine for communication, but not for your internal perception of self.
Right. But in this system, I'll need to manage Netlify.
Where? Go ahead and link to it.
Point taken. Merriam-Webster says "usually arising from disorder of the nervous system or in response to drugs (such as LSD)" so I take "usually" to mean not always.

Regardless I hope the distinction I was drawing comes across clearly.

Regarding spacial thinking, yes it seems fairly accurate however where I would expect it to break down would be recollection of colors, touch, sounds, tastes, or smells. But I don't feel I experience such a breakdown in ability to recall those either albeit in the same conceptualized not-connected-to-my-realtime-senses way.

Out of the examples given in this thread I would say faces are the most challenging object to recall. Though, depending on the distinction of the features I can also do that without much difficulty.
We'll never know. But he _made them_ pass it, that much is certain.
I suspect I have it. When I 'visualise' things, there's no visual component to it. Instead, I'm remembering an abstract list of features that the visualisation has. For example, with a sphere, I know that it's round, probably smooth, with a surface equidistant from its centre at all points. I don't 'see' a sphere in any way though.

With a beach, I know that there's probably sunshine, there's some water, some sand, it's probably hot, maybe some wind, some waves, some seagulls. But I don't see any part of this, so if you ask me for specific details they just don't exist and I couldn't tell you whether, for example, the beach in my mind is short or long.

When it comes to faces, I can't picture them and find myself often forgetting/not recognising people with whom I'm only tangentially familiar. I couldn't describe a person's face to you at all, but if you asked 'do they have a big or small nose', I might be able to recall that (usually not though). I'm more likely to be able to recall distinct features - skin colour, hair colour, etc., than I am features where there's a sliding scale (nose size, etc.) This even applies to people close to me such as my own immediate family, partner, etc.
0. Flex doesn't scale to zero, Run does.

1. Flex runs directly on VMs (sharing some GCE networking, access to GPUs, etc.), Run doesn't.

Those are the two that come up top of mind. We're working on a more comprehensive "choose your compute product" walkthrough in the near future.
We have 3 different codes for wind rating just within our county alone based on the exposure zone. Given some of the peak winds we see it's very much a good thing.

Structural codes are fine by me, the newer energy codes are great too, our new house is so much cheaper to heat/cool than the 70s house we previously owned.
Replied there!
Where are they? Five different posters have claimed this, but zero have been able to link to the historical predictions.
To be fair, for an internal communications usecase you just need to convince your company, not half the world

I’d open source comms tools leaned more into business use cases (mattermost does this well) then there could be more usage
I get what OP means by bringing up the term though. I'd love to ask the visual thinkers in the thread if they have voluntary hallucinations.

It's why I tried the Augmented Reality methaphor in another comment. Something that your visual system is processing but isn't actually there.
More accurately, expose people in a controlled setting to what they're already being exposed to, to find out its impact. But this sounds pretty neutral.
Thanks, that's a very helpful response.

It's curious to me how you say "my pronouns are".

I go to a group where the other adults are mostly always mums or other older women. The leaders almost always refer to the group as "mums", but I just accept it assuming they're not being exclusionary -- I guess that's my choice though. Funnily one of my children has started calling me mummy, which is a little weird to me but not at all disconcerting.

As I reflect on that, I wonder; you say you feel disrespected when called by a pronoun that's contrary to your preference (presumably only if you've already requested the person address you differently), as if it's an insult. Surely it's just an element of language combined with your outer appearance. If you feel being called by the pronoun of one sex or the other (or either) to be disrespecting, that would seem to imply you feel people who are correctly identified by those terms are some how lesser? Perhaps "disrespected" is the wrong term, or my understanding of it is wrong. I guess if you call me "the bearded lady" but it's not malicious, then it's not disrespecting (for me, from my perspective; I'm not trying to tell you how to feel, obviously).

I guess I still don't really get why a strangers pronoun usage matters?

One last aside, if you could do away with gendered pronouns altogether, would that be better/worse? I guess you can't identify as neutrally pronouned if there's no gendering of pronouns?? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_neutrality_in_genderl...).

Sure. But let’s say the chance of losing your license is a hundred times more likely than that of committing vehicular homicide, and the effective penalty for a homicide is 10 times worse than that for losing your license, you should be 10x more worried about losing your license.
Peculiar to blame the phone for killing people and not the several ton object that crashes into them.

Of course people should stay off their phones, but there are plenty of ways that people can make mistakes driving, and the best way to make pedestrians safe is to limit their interactions with cars.

We need to fundamentally back away from the automobile oriented design of our cities. This is the real solution, not doubling down on car infrastructure and hoping that some vaporware self driving software will save us.
Then the “images” most people say they can imagine in their “mind’s eye” might be little different from what an aphantasiac like me would produce if asked to draw them. Perhaps I am not missing much at all.

The new Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions—African slavery as it exists among us—the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson, in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended the great truth upon which that rock stood and stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were, that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with; but the general opinion of the men of that day was, that, somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. [...] Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the idea of a Government built upon it—when the "storm came and the wind blew, it fell."
“””

The Vice President of the Confederacy literally stood and gave a speech about why slavery was the reason they seceded from the union, but I’m not really surprised to find people who still try to distort the truth to push their views. It’s their way to virtue signal.
If you follow down the original on ProPublica and find comments there, you will see that there was no such provision. And the one that actually referencing IRS is says that IRS should continue to cooperate with private sector to make free tax filing and must maintain free portal.
