True. Why now? Why not any other "time"? These are questions that are very similar to "Why 'I'?", "Why not anyone else?". Maybe time and consciousness are deeply related, or even based on the same principle?

Yeah, IntelliJ-based IDEs are hungry, but even if mobile, I figure I'd just spend the extra money to get plenty of RAM, it's that good (to me at least).

I usually run 3-5 instances for different projects and it'll hover around 3gb RAM, but it appears that they share a lot of memory, closing one or opening an additional project has no visible impact.

One suggestion. You should remove the COVID resources.

It's probably a good list but people need a break. It's the only thing on the news at the moment and I'm starting to see it really wear people down.

What I'm getting at is, when I was in the Army in Iraq I heard a lot less news about being in a War and being in Iraq even though i was there, in that war. Everyone knew what the score was and didn't spend a ton of time obsessing on the small stuff that's out of control.

Your call. Nice site otherwise.
China Limited the Mekong’s Flow. Other Countries Suffered a Drought
All large power plant installations are given such loan guarantees, including wind power and solar power farms. It's a pretty good way for the government to make sure they are built.

A lot of countries, such as here in Sweden, have a separate nuclear power tax, and a large thermal power tax. Oil and coal, for example, only pay the latter here. These are in addition to the nuclear waste management fees. Nuclear power is the only power source that pays for proper waste disposal (coal, oil and gas just spews it into the atmosphere and wind power installations are simply buried after they expire).

So no, I'm not making it up. Nuclear power is heavily taxed which is the largest reason why it's suddenly turned uneconomical in the last decade.
Anyone on 56k isn't going to be able to use tor or i2p or any of the other services any better. But unlike hosting from home those things all add overhead data use too. The majority of people in industrialized countries have a megabit or two.

> That's all well and good but what other people are talking about is the nature of reality which, in pursuit of, those crazy people, they are perfectly willing to doubt axioms.

Solomonoff induction does doubt and change axioms. It's a fundamental part of the whole process in fact.

> That doesn't make them true in the big sense of True, it makes them expedient, productive of theory, generative, a lot of wonderful things, maybe even strongly implied by all evidence, but not apriori true. They're dubitable.

Logic is used to make distinctions. Two theories with differing axiomatic bases will make different distinctions, but if they make the same predictions in all cases, then they are logically the same, ie. there is a fundamental isomorphism between them. In this case, it literally doesn't matter if one is "actually really true", and the other is a mathematical dual of some sort.

For instance, polar and Cartesian coordinates are completely equivalent. A theory cast in one might be easier for us to work with, but even if reality really used the other coordinate system, it quite literally doesn't matter.

In the case when the two theories do differ in their predictions, we should epistemically prefer one over the other, and Solomonoff Induction shows us how to do this rigourously.

It might lead them to that, but the folks associated with the Q stuff really aren't limited to ... any sort of logic / limitations.

If the words weren’t taboo or offensive then they wouldn’t be swear words.

There reason he doesn’t say “Stuck at Darn home” isn’t because of the aesthetics of the sounds or because of any real difference in definition except to the extent that Darn doesn’t carry the social “baggage”, which is purely a function of it being taboo or offensive.

The use of curse words almost completely derives their value from that fact, even when uttered under your breath after hitting your finger with a hammer.

Each end device you use to connect to your Matrix account creates own keys per default, but you can also import/export keys if you want to. Then other parties can enable or disable trust for each key. For browser based clients like riot, I think each session creates another key.

This is a very interesting (open source) project that I didn’t know about; thank you for mentioning it.

But it doesn’t replace LaTeX, as it doesn’t produce the same results. A glance at the sample documents reveals the ugly typography resulting from the word-processing layout strategy employed in web browsers. This is confirmed in the documentation. So this could be useful if you have an existing set of HTML pages that you need to convert to PDFs, but, if you’re starting a project where you want to produce both HTML and PDF, this should not be part of the solution.
Very nice, added!

It always shocks me how many professionals are convinced that entire sections of their company are literally pointless. Sure, some departments underperform compared to their cost, that’s life, but useless? How, pray tell, do they expect to fund engineering without sales people selling?

It’s always doubly entertaining when I point out to some people that the department they think is pointless contains people who think the exact same thing back!

The cool thing to me about Bitcoin is the setup for someone new who is unbanked is really quick. You can have someone in Zimbabwe with nothing but a cellphone download an open source Bitcoin wallet and send them money in 10 minutes. They can take this and withdraw cash from and ATM or use Bitcoin and you don't have to go through all the friction of international payments and banking.

Since it works with pub/priv key cryptography its a push model and so you can securely send money to anyone, anywhere, anytime. No bank needed.
Rt: The Metric We Need to Manage Covid-19

It was an effective system.
For context, vast majority of US courts as a results of the virus are moving to telephonic hearings where needed or moving hearings to later dates as possible.
I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this.

I've been using my own version of 'hyper key'[1] for years now. I map capslock to ctrl (in OSX), then ctrl-space to 'ctrl, command, option' in Karabiner, so that I have a 'namespace' of my own hotkeys, which I assign to apps in apptivate[2] to quick switch, and finally I make it so that if I tap caps without hitting another key, it actually hits escape. I use a two-button combo for hyper instead of just capslock so that capslock on its own is just ctrl, and I can use all the default readline shortcuts.

ShapeCPU was the first one that I know of (https://github.com/hcrypt-project/obliviousJ).

I built one off the same infrastructure called hideCPU. If you can create AND/XOR/NAND/etc gates _and_ feed-back output into your input, you can create a CPU.

https://github.com/mmastrac/oblivious-cpu

My goal was more to build some open prior art in the space rather than actually build a viable FHE CPU, but there's no reason why you couldn't implement one of these on top of the FHE system.

To answer some statements about FHE computing that come up over and over:

- Yes, you can loop + perform control flow in a FHE-based computer

- Yes, you can recurse in a FHE-based computer as long as you have enough emulated RAM/stack

- Yes, you can store state in a FHE computer

- No, you cannot determine if a FHE computer has reached a certain state (or halted) from the outside without decrypting the system (or at least a state bit)

- Yes, you can emulate RAM in a FHE computer

- Yes, you can emulate a HDD (well, rotating storage) in a certain FHE computer constructions

Imagine if the market incentivized intelligent people to build useful things rather than lotteries on top of known cognitive weaknesses.

"How do you overcome it?" - don't.

Lots of other good suggestions on here, but I have some commentary on this problem as well.

I experience the same issue when trying to read with greater concentration. I start out and my brain goes crazy thinking about everything in the known universe. If I stick it out and keep trying to read, in about 10 to 15 minutes I notice that my concentration is restored.

10 - 15 minutes may seem like a hefty price to pay to read with attention, but consider this: the problem described here is very similar to many people's experience with meditation. I believe that this type of mental state is a sort of un-bundling for your brain, and once complete, you can better focus on the task at hand. In my experience, the more reading I do, the less time I spend in this state. By the time I finish a book I can pick it up and immerse myself instantly. Instead of viewing this as "waiting so you can read", try thinking of it as your daily meditation, without really needing to try.

I see this less as an impairment due to your skimming habits, and more of a natural process that many people experience.
The point of a VPN when using wifi provided by others is that you do not control the wifi hardware or the wifi environment (i.e., who else it connected to the wifi). Which therefore means you also do not control who else might be listening in on your wifi packets in those environments.

Presuming you have a good password on your home wifi, and are running the better encryption standards, then at home you do control who is connected and what hardware is supplying the service, so you do not have others listening in on your wifi packets (unless you've given those others your wifi passwords).

Build a dapp in Go right now. It's not good for modeling complex business problems but if your app is mostly API it's great for self-hosted. Memory management isn't a problem but def more verbose and less "fun" than ruby. If you use SQLite or badger as database it has a great install story- no configuration or docker even really needed. Front end is in Vue and that gets packed into 25mb binary I can run locally on win/Mac or throw on a VPS and run at scale.
> I just can't see any user wanting to use or switch to either Linux or BSD to sanely 'use' their computer for being productive in their daily work other than programming in vim or emacs; because they are still desktops for programmers.

Do you mean for native Windows or macOs dev? Then I agree. However if you are a non tech user I don't agree. I know many people (friends and family), who use Linux on their Notebook or PCs (quite frankly most non-tech users use mobile anyway) and they have no I idea what emacs or vim is (and why should they?).

So Linux being just for dev users is just not true, at least in my experience.
