Thank you for sharing this powerful prayer/mantra.

I too had to go through a time like this, for different reasons, but I lost and fell into depression. I didn't have dependents unfortunately and my self-esteem was completely shattered.

I recovered and became productive again since a while now. But I'm still haunted by anxiety sometimes.

I'm in a state of extreme productivity and self-confidence right now, but part of it is feeling chased by my failing in the past, as if I have to (or could) catch up.

At the same time I know that patience, focus and time are key to do the right thing(s). This is also being addressed in the linked article.

My strategy is to talk, be open about my feelings (which I had to learn the hard way) and to take time to meditate and appreciate silence, deep focus, my loved ones and the beauty of nature.

Mantras and prayers are like magic tricks: You condition yourself to focus on a positive, powerful thought and with time you can activate that state with little effort as you described.

Ill be contemplating some of the thoughts in your prayer. Some of the phrases are very powerful, tangible metaphors.
I think what they are saying is, why does sqlite3VdbeMemRelease change the flags in the first place if the change must be ignored?
False dichotomy. You can be confident, brash, and rude to each other all day long, as long as everyone is in on it and everyone is socially intelligent enough to know each other's boundaries.

The problem is when people tell themselves "that's just how I am" and don't have a high enough EQ to notice that they're coming across as jerks.

Everyone is different and everyone requires a personal touch. It's important for people to understand how to get along with those who aren't exactly like them.

That is a flaw of mass media, not of the Internet. When a single channel broadcasts for an entire population, it must only talk about things most of the population is interested on, so the channel becomes single minded. If people are immersed on those channels, they become single minded too, and single minded people are crazy (AFAIK, always).

For most of the Internet's time, it was a force against this. It was a peer to peer network with a large diversity of subjects. But on the last few years it has become mass media too, with all its problems. If there wasn't Internet, the stupidity would be on TV, that had already become highly centralized (and thus massive) by the time the Internet popularized.
The differences of opinion here on the topic of the necessity of the theological content suggest that it is not, as you say, "objectively true".

Just because it is not necessary for you does not permit you to project your opinions on the rest of humanity.

Hydrogen-Boron Fusion [1], allows for using much smaller and simpler generators because it converts it directly into electricity.

Note: I am not a physicist and has no idea if it really works. But I guess when it comes to Nuclear Fusion no one really does.

GM has made far more announcements about electric cars than actual shipping products and their track record with shipping what they say they are going to ship is not great. For example the Chevy Volt only marginally resembles the Volt prototype.

Also, the fact that GM has continued to lobby for laxer CAFE standards and is in a legal battle over California's right to set higher fuel economy standards is a big black mark against them in my book.
This is 20th century nonsense that has been debunked. Your body is not a battery that you use up, use means regeneration. Not using your joints for strength production is more harmful than biking everywhere.
Comparing Wyoming and New York is disingenuous. You'd be wise to compare, say, New York Metro and the Bay Area, [1] two areas of the US that are arguably almost equal density.

Note how San Francisco declared a state of emergency in February. By the first week of March, most were working from home, and the week after, it had a shelter in place order.

I think it's more that the capacitors are too expensive for mass production - the figures I saw put them at around $10K, for something that contributes a relatively small amount to the performance of the vehicle. Manufacturers would probably prefer to put that towards a bigger battery pack, which would give better overall specs, if a bit less efficiency.
Yes, this was quite routine.
Google.com was registered long before Google Domains was created. Lots of other more modern Google domains---even .google ones---are registered with MarkMonitor as well. Google Domains doesn't compete with MarkMonitor for large businesses with extremely valuable domains.
I think the point is that a worldwide pandemic, 40 million people unemployed, China annexing Hong Kong, and mass civil unrest should logically lead to far more of a downturn than merely 10% off all-time highs (which were already several standard deviations above long term price to earnings ratios).
No, but that's because I've worked on a team that has crafted these statements before (and then we emailed them out as the CEO). Our statements would get passed around in a Google doc to about 5 different people who would distill it down to platitudes that ended up sounding right, but soulless.

With a social media team, no one is going to stick their necks out and take a strong stance because it'll never get approved. Also you are speaking as a corporation which is a collection of people, so you wind up hitting the lowest common denominator of stances on social issues. But you have to do something because your competitors are doing something. Also, your employees may be asking for you to put out a statement on an issue. So these things get born.

At the end of the day you should just remember that corporations are not people, even when it looks like a single person is talking. I'll stop there before I start going on a tangent.

Also for what it's worth, I thought DoorDash's response was fairly decent because there was substance to it. But I do agree that you can't take their statements in a vacuum and it's easy to see that it's just platitudes based on their crummy employment and business model.
future versions of the cybertruck will have phase array starlink antennas on the roof.

Yes, here in Switzerland all identity photos are taken in booths at the passport office, which has the advantage that any photo they take is, by definition, compliant with their requirements regarding angle, facial expression, etc.
The minimum latency is 3.66 ms, but depending on the angle to the satellites involved it may be adding significantly less than 680 miles to the journey. Aka if it’s 340 miles east and 340 miles up that’s 480 miles to the satellite, adding just 140 not 340 miles.

Outside of HFT, most networks are far from the shortest great circle routes between you and the other end, which further completes the issue.

Google did just that. They added the protocols SPDY and QUIC to Chrome and tried to get server owners to adopt them. Given that they control YouTube which is the world's largest site both by unique users and bandwidth usage they could easily force their own protocol through.

Do you have an example of a mind extremely different from a human one?

I ask because if we assume that human minds are Turing complete then there is nothing beyond human minds as far as computation is concerned. I see no reason to suspect that self-aware Turing machines will be unlike humans. I don't fear humans so I have no reason to fear self-aware AI because as far as I'm concerned I interact with self-aware AI all the time and nothing bad has happened to me.

My larger point is that I dislike the fear mongering when it comes to AI because computational tools and patterns have always been helpful/useful for me and AI is another computational tool. It can augment and help people improve their planning horizons which in my book is always a good thing.

> A smart machine will first consider which is more worth its while: to perform the given task or, instead, to figure some way out of it. Whichever is easier. And why indeed should it behave otherwise, being truly intelligent? For true intelligence demands choice, internal freedom. And therefore we have the malingerants, fudgerators, and drudge-dodgers, not to mention the special phenomenon of simulimbecility or mimicretinism. [0] ...

Software engineering must be one of the few professions where individuals freely share their energy and expertise with others.

This isn't a criticism, neither of the "help others code" movement, nor more insular industries. It's just a very unusual aspect of our field and I wonder where it comes from.

- the basic research has a benefit, and may lead to other discoveries

- if they happen to achieve fusion, the benefit to humanity will be enormous

There must be "moonshot" projects, like when we originally went to the moon, an unpractical journey.
Well, sure, if address portability doesn't matter. Which... it kinda doesn't, so, sure. But AS numbers don't need to be much bigger than 24 bits, so 64 bits for addresses is plenty :)

whereas controlled fusion has been "10-30 years away" for the last 60 (?) years

One standard internet response to that is this graph[1]. No funding, no results.

The international community decided to pool ressources with ITER. The founding members? The US, EU, Japan and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union collapsed, the US pulled out for a couple of years, other countries (eg Canada) joined and left gain, Brexit has put the future of JET (where some relevant preparatory experimentation is done) in doubt, etc.

In my state it's not true that the majority of the case load is from infected nursing homes. Most of the deaths were in the beginning but the new cases and deaths are from the general populace.

Our beaches and parks have been open for weeks now. People have not been forced to stay indoors at all hours. Our governor's order has been exclusively focused on avoiding situations where two people from different households encounter each other for extended periods because that creates a vector from one household to the other. I've been walking outside the entire time we've been "under quarantine." There are runners and bikers and all kinds of people doing the same. The only difference is we give each other a wide berth on the trail.

I think you're blowing the scope of the "quarantines" out of proportion. And you didn't answer my original question. What would you have done differently? What would your plan have been?
I believe that argument here is that globalisation causes a bunch of interactions that wouldn't have happened otherwise, that leads to strife ("they took our jobs" is one of the plethora of scenarios) and that leads to racism.
Which is fortunate in the EU given the automated passport gates. I can't imagine trying to get Opa to scan his fingerprints in a way that satisfies the automated checking.
Do you end up with a huge ball of radioactive lead at the end of the day? From what little I know of fusion, it seems you still end up with irradiated lead or other shielding.

Clojure isn't actually a purely functional language. It's more of a consenting adults language that guides you towards doing the right thing by default. If you write idiomatic Clojure code, then it will be written in a purely functional style. However, Clojure won't stop you from writing imperative code or adding side effects if it makes sense in your particular scenario.

Lisp family of languages also have a lot of tangible and very practical benefits. The syntax is simple very regular, so there's less mental overhead involved in reading it. This helps avoid errors because there's less ambiguity about what the code might mean.

The syntax also makes relationships in code explicit, making it more scannable. In most languages it's not immediately obvious if the lines next to each other are related. On the other hand, s-expression syntax effectively provides you with a free diagram where you can see relationships visually.

The syntax also facilitates structural editing. Instead of working with lines of text, you work with expressions, and you think in terms of moving blocks of logic around. You can see some examples here https://calva.io/paredit/

The syntax also makes it very easy to serialize code, since code is expressed as plain data structures. This also facilitates powerful metaprogramming facilities. You can apply the language to transforming any code written in the language.

Another practical aspect of Lisps is live coding workflow where you connect the editor to the running instance of the application. This creates a very tight feedback loop where you can try things and see the results immediately. This is strictly superior to the traditional workflow where you have to restart the application and build up state to see the results. It's also much faster than using TDD. You can use the REPL for exploration, and then write tests once the code is in the state where it's doing what you want. This is a good read about the workflow https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/what-makes-a-good-repl....

Here's a talk I co-presented last year that discusses an application my team works on and the specific benefits we found from using Clojure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IekPZpfbdaI

I’ve been using vimwiki for a while now and it seems to fit the way I work the best of all the options out there.

But, I recently dumped all my vimwiki markdown files into Obsidian and have really been enjoying that experience. Same local files with an upgraded visual experience and some neat linking features.

It has basic vim bindings, unlike roam and others, and that makes all the difference. I just wish I could use vim keybindings to switch between panes but I hope they’ll address that at some point.

I don't think commercial drivers are going to be paying attention to regen rates as they are trying to make 300 deliveries on their daily run.

For personal vehicles it makes a lot more sense, particularly when you realize using regen braking means less brake and battery wear so it helps lower maintenance. I do similar things with the fuel economy gauge in my car.

Thank you! Oh I absolutely agree -- the core of my model is a 100%-standard compartmental SIR model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartmental_models_in_epidem...

But, the differential equation models shown on the Wikipedia page have no policy/response variables, and basically assume an unintelligent, static null response. That was what was feared initially (early March), but of course fear drives behavior, so there's a closed-loop system here. That's my small variation and I think it's probably an important one.
> The low skilled workers are going to get paid very little because we choose to pay them very little.

I wish it were that simple. More reasons:

* Low skilled workers are paid very little because there don't have any higher paid options.

* Low skilled workers are paid very little because there are some many other low skilled workers willing to take their place, domestically, internationally, and through immigration.

* If there are 2 business using low skill labor, one paying low wages and another high wages, the latter goes bankrupt.

Cherry on top: the AWS project is to turn SWE cushy jobs into 'low skill' occupations. Bezos understands economics. He's building the ultimately efficient money making machine, which, by necessity, reduces the human expenses to the absolute minimum.
I'm quietly hoping and waiting for online stores to take over empty store fronts for last mile delivery. Would love to be able to walk a block away, get my Amazon order, and return it there.

Now imagine that instead of returning something back to a central warehouse, Amazon could have the next customer pick it up or ship it nearby.

Hopefully boxes would not be needed for most of this, too. And any online store(s) could do this.

A lot of experience has not translated well to their consumer offerings which have not really changed since the rushed the Bolt as a 2017 model. The EUV variant instead of advancing the technology of the Bolt is little more than a stretched variant with the same limited charging.

Yes they have experience but GM is operating from the concept of earning sufficient ZEV credits only. The dropped PHEV (Volt) right prior to the rest of the industry going that direction all because it wasn't worth the cost to ZEV points.

What I am interested in is seeing how invested Ford is, if the Mach E sales take off will they make enough to meet the need to artificially constrain production to just what they need to sale.

The real danger to EV transportation is the big manufacturers trying to keep maximum ranges below three hundred miles. Even luxury makers are barely going there with future products. By keeping ranges in that lower two hundred mile area they can continue to exploit range anxiety issues and consign EVs to local transportation only thereby not threatening their cash cows.

No, it's used for control. But you should be thinking more like "process control" than "intelligent" control. Or to be more specific, deriving an optimal process control model via pretty hard-core plasma density reconstructions; my understanding is that they track plasma density fluctuations and tweak parameters in real-time, but I would be surprised if the TF model is in the control path.

It seems a bit overly-aggressive to accuse them of lying because some pop-sci journalist heard tensorflow and went straight to "artificial intelligence." And even there, it's an understandable and common hype.

It doesn't take away from the point that they're doing some really interesting and novel computational physics to make this thing work.
