For those interested, there's a book (which I haven't read yet) by Larry Witham titled Picasso and the Chess Player: Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, and the Battle for the Soul of Modern Art.

Editorial blurb:

"""

In the fateful year of 1913, events in New York and Paris launched a great public rivalry between the two most consequential artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp. The New York Armory Show art exhibition unveiled Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase, a “sensation of sensations” that prompted Americans to declare Duchamp the leader of cubism, the voice of modern art.

In Paris, however, the cubist revolution was reaching its peak around Picasso. In retrospect, these events form a crossroads in art history, a moment when two young bohemians adopted entirely opposite views of the artist, giving birth to the two opposing agendas that would shape all of modern art.

Today, the museum-going public views Pablo Picasso as the greatest figure in modern art. Over his long lifetime, Picasso pioneered several new styles as the last great painter in the Western tradition. In the rarefied world of artists, critics, and collectors, however, the most influential artist of the last century was not Picasso, but Marcel Duchamp: chess player, prankster, and a forefather of idea-driven dada, surrealism, and pop art.

Picasso and the Chess Player is the story of how Picasso and Duchamp came to define the epochal debate between modern and conceptual art―a drama that features a who’s who of twentieth-century art and culture, including Henri Matisse, Gertrude Stein, André Breton, Salvador Dalí, and Andy Warhol. In telling the story, Larry Witham weaves two great art biographies into one tumultuous century.

Thanks for the suggestion! Sounds like a good way to approach things :)

I especially like your suggestion about being more clear with an intention for journaling. Looking back I mostly ramble about what events happened the previous week (memories), but I would also like to include more self reflection and personal thoughts on subjects.

Cheers
What are some examples of these macros ? I’d love to hear more ideas and tricks.
Spacemacs is the best answer to that problem I've seen yet, if you ever want to give it another shot.

Emulating a gameboy is a fun project, I highly recommend it.

The most patience testing element of it is you won't really see any direct results for quite a while, but once you get that Nintendo logo scrolling down the screen, achieved from implementing a lot of the core components (cpu, memory, ppu, screen etc) it's almost like magic and extremely satisfying!

MyGuestMap – Maps Airbnb hosts visitors by scanning existing data
This is incorrect, a schematic only shows what electronics should contain. It doesn't provide any proof of what hardware actually contains. For that the best way to verify is to visually look at the hardware, we made OnlyKey hardware easy to verify with a clear transparent coating. When you look at OnlyKey you will see one Freescale K20 MCU, you can read the manufacturer number on it and know exactly what is in your key.
That may be so but if I have to choose between open source software and closed software I know which one I trust more and I would assume the same goes for open hardware, in spite of the difficulties of transferring trust at the hardware level because of the parties over which you have no control. Of course if your threat model includes parties changing the masks of your chips then all bets are off but in general more openness is better and my implicit trust in people working on open source software and hardware is at a different level than the alternative.

If only because the ones seem to be driven by altruistic motives and the alternatives have already been shown many times to be willing to sell their - and your - soul to the devil for a price.

Open source hardware would need a verification and inspection method that reliably determines whether or not the manufacturer delivered what they said they would if you want that level of trust. And even then those tools could be compromised and so on.

To put it simpler: between say Intel or AMD and 'Bunnie's chip factory' I know which one I would trust more because with Intel and AMD I know for sure that there will be a bunch of misery included and with Bunnie I would at least know that he didn't include it himself and would do his best to avoid others doing it. Trust, eventually, is always going to be in people.

I'd love to see his 'non destructive method for the verification of chips' become a reality. It would be at least an interesting exercise to compare that what we have with what we should have.

And if funding is an issue, this is exactly the sort of thing where I would be very happy to throw money at a kickstarter.
I like to use dimensional analysis when setting goals, so in that spirit:

Health:

- Get better at cooking meals from basic ingredients. This year I cut back eating out for financial reasons. I now incorporate intermittent fasting, smoothies, lots of veggies, some meat. Cold potatoes are a staple for satiety. I would like to continue exploring different vegetables variety with a single new recipe based on a given veggie/root at least each week.

- Do a sunrise hike at a state park

- Incorporate yoga as pre routine to workout regiment in the early morning. Incorporate body weight workout into running routine.

- Sleep in once a week

- Stop work at 4pm

Joy/Relationships:

- Play and finish existing games I own: Witcher 3, BoTW.

- Plan for and invest in the romance of my relationship. Get better at dating wife

- Take dog out to walks at parks more

- Introduce and invest in game night with family

- Invite family over and cook for them

Home/Finances:

- Work towards purchasing a home this year

- Make one room in the home as beautiful as possible.

Work/Skills:

- Build a game with webgl, wasm, rust

- Finish rust book, rustwasm

- Attend Meetups, make a presentation at one

- Stay consistent with focused time. I got really good at eliminating all distractions this year, would like that to continue into next year.

- stay consistent with one pull request a day.

- play piano at public gig, be able to play through first movement at least in Mozart’s sonata
An undocumented but well known side effect of the combination of curbside recycling and bottle deposits is that once the cans and bottles are placed outdoors, homeless people cut the bags open to fish out the deposit containers.

This makes a tremendous mess, and the city recycling trucks often won't pick up the the bags once they have been shredded, and it creates litter up and down the street -- it probably costs 5x as much to clean up after the homeless as they get off of the bottle deposits, and this is after they've already performed the labor of separating the solid waste stream.

Do you have implants?

I have a lot! They are more durable than biological teeth, the main drawback is that I need to be a bit more careful flossing.

Honestly, I'm not sure what's better, in the long run: An implant or regrowing a tooth. I guess it will really just come down to what's cheaper.

Mate, life, mental health and time with your family is much much much much much much much much much much much more important than a particular job and work.

I am not kidding by pasting `much` so many times, please try to look this from a completely different angle: kids really need actual attention from their parents and all those "vacation but daddy works in the hotel room all the time" are painful .. I am saying it as a guy who also has problems with working in free time ..

You don't have to "justify" this to your clients, you have options, please try to look at things differently(and they're not guilty,
1. Yeah I think I need to shift my time. Originally I aimed for Sunday evening/night since I considered it the end of the week. At that time I found myself to tired or caught up in another activity more often than not. Sunday morning sounds better, especially as a way to get it "out of they way".

2. That sounds like a good motivator!

3. True true
I don’t think it’s that different from other diets. The money is in books and consulting. People also need to know what to eat when they aren’t fasting so there is an opportunity there.
So in combination with Keyboard Maestro (the other piece of software I mention in my post) you can pretty easily wire something like what you ask, on the Mac.

Keyboard Maestro is truly one of the best productivity software for the Mac.

If you're standing in front of a window and can see out (and can be seen), you don't really have a reasonable expectation of privacy. This applies to my single floor single family residence. If I want privacy, I close the blinds and/or drapes.

Would Neural Tangent Kernels help with this, or are they just as impenetrable as latent spaces?
So have all sorts of things, both good and bad. Just because something has been around a long time doesn’t mean it should be assumed to contribute positively. The so-called “oldest profession” has been around far longer than almost anything too.
Poor word choice on my part. You are only free to capture and process information that either a broadcast without target or addressed specifically to you in some form. And that makes total sense. There is some leeway in the interpretation so that the mandatory reception and decoding as part of the technical implementation are not illegal in themselves, but any further processing of data clearly addressed at someone/something else is not legal.

the waterpik is the most useful tool I found this decade. I think I have become over-reliant on it.

Had not heard of oil pulling, thanks!
Sweet! I’ve heard of Hammerspoon but Keyboard Maestro has been my poison for sometime. Offers every bit of programming functionality with a super easy UI.
I really disagree with that ruling and interpretation of that quoted part of the law. Jamming to me means radio interference via indiscriminate analog noise. If we expand the definition of jamming to the protocol level like exemplified here, the law gains broad authority to interpret any online interaction that makes your experience worse as "jamming." The law should really should stick to radio frequency enforcement, and stay out of protocol-level concerns - it's just too big a can of worms.
One might quibble over implications, but I think yours is basically the right take. As Bruce Schneier said: "security is a process, not a product".

This is a gross mischaracterization of the position I and mamy others hold. Fundamentally, I will pay twice as much to avoid the state dipping its slimy fingers into another aspect of my life. More practically, our screwed-up healthcare system resulted from state involvement (FDA bureaucracy, wage & price controls, etc.), so I don't think more state involvement will fix a thing.

You seem to have a Judeo-Christian background based on the "idol" statement combined with not viewing life as meaningless. I refer you to Ecclesiastes. Everything is grasping at smoke (meaningless).

"5:18 I have seen what is best for people here on earth. They should eat and drink and enjoy their work, because the life God has given them on earth is short. 19 God gives some people the ability to enjoy the wealth and property he gives them, as well as the ability to accept their state in life and enjoy their work. 20 They do not worry about how short life is, because God keeps them busy with what they love to do."

If that means eating and drinking while working so be it. There is no point to life. Vacationing is just as empty as working. At least with working something is accomplished.

Burn out is due to a tension in the person's mind between knowing that they only have work and the desire to have fun. When you make work fun, the tension dissolves. That's not to say you shouldn't unwind. Every engine needs a chance to cool off. Rather, you should realize the cool down period is only a few hours, which is well within OP's time availability.

So they used a symbolic planner to direct the robot's actions and showed this to the human participants. They didn't use a neural network in the learning process. So how does this advance the explainability of the hard to explain parts of AI?

Better yet, how would this strategy even be applicable to NN based learning models? We don't even have sufficient knowledge of how our own symbolic systems map to our brain activity. There is even evidence against a direct causal relationship between our symbolic narrative and our actions such as split brain experiments where the actions of the nonverbal hemisphere are "explained" or rationalized by the other post hoc. See also postdictive illusions and the varied arguments against free will.

My view is that the processes that constitute our minds are actually almost entirely non-verbal and the language oriented parts are merely a specialization of a more general rule. I'm not saying that language has no effect on our conscious processes, it wouldn't be a useful system if it played no part, but I do consider it to be more of a side channel or perhaps an abstraction of the processes that are driving what we call will or thought.

I believe this may be a fundamental flaw in how we approach understanding consciousness or any other aspect of intelligence.

This article begins by explaining that karabiner (software for macs) lets you remap caps lock to escape.

Which is true.

But very misleading: That is a feature the OS itself supports, out of the box: System Preferences, Keyboard, Modifier Keys... – and voila, here you can pick 'escape' in the dropdown next to 'caps lock key'.

And speaking of that option, go do that right now. Even if you don't have a touchbar :)

For all the pains it introduces because everything Just Stops Working™, I find the i3 window manager to be fantastic for my windowing workflow.

Once you have decided what goes into each workspace and have a bit of muscle memory for the tiling, switching is instant and organizing is trivial. Never drag a window again!

Sadly.

It would be nice if there was a way to do conversion attribution without the tracking cookies.

One idea I've been thinking about lately:

* in server-side access logs, include visitor's fingerprint as hash(client_ip + user_agent + maybe_salt)

* Look for access log entries with ad campaign specific Referrer values. Call these "Set A".

* Look for access log entries with the conversion event (user signs up, user upgrades to paid plan, user makes purchase, ...). Call these "Set B"

If any given visitor's fingerprint appears in both the Set A and the Set B, we can assume they came from an ad campaign and converted.

Of course, user's IP can change, and many users can have the same IP. So this would be imprecise. But could be better than nothing. And, IMO at least, better than having the tracking cookies, cookie warnings, consent screens, extra sections in privacy policies etc.

I agree with you in principle. I still think reproducible should be a goal even in pure research in blue sky machine learning for the following reasons:

Even basic research is can be sensitive to omitted parameters, setups and starting conditions. Honest mistakes, accidental omissions and failing to spot sensitivity to parameters happens all the time. Writing "A clear explanation of any assumptions" is rarely comprehensive. Its easy to miss things and become blind to some fine details.

Discovering and documenting of a new interesting phenomenon and dynamics is also part of basic research. Publishing experimental discoveries without explanation should be always reproducible.
