For me, if I'm working a 9 to 5 and am forced to do lunch at noon, it is pretty brutal. I don't handle longer than 3 hours of sitting in a row after lunch. Sitting from 1 to 5pm is just too much.

If I work a 9 to 5 and my lunch hour starts at 1pm or even 2pm, it works out quite well. One remedy I've done is working an 8 to 4.

Imho it's just better if lunch starts a bit later in the day.
it sounds like that's not true: https://grist.org/article/pain-in-the-glass/
Thanks for sharing @pgao! This tool looks really valuable.

> Since embeddings can be extracted from most neural networks, this makes our platform very general. We have successfully analyzed dataset + models operating on images, 3D point clouds from depth sensors, and audio.

Are there any types of datasets/models that this tool would not work well with that you're aware of?
Foucault's distinctly french and distinctly intellectual. The two are definitely touching the same elephant, and if you like Foucault you'll probably find something in Illich, but Illich appeals to a less intellectual and more American (religious?) audience that would turned off by -- or simply never get past the first page of -- Foucault.

Religious fundamentalist homeschoolers will read Illich and get something out of it, but would probably not have the patience/reading comprehension level to engage with Foucault. Or, if they did, would burn it.

So, both have their place.

That said, I wish Foucault had provided a more thorough treatment of schooling, though. I think his reaction to schooling was something like "yeah that's so transparently a factory floor look-alike and so transparently training compliant factory workers that I'm not even sure it's worth saying much else".

Historically, interest rates were not this low, so naturally PE ratios would inflate now given cheap money. Also, historically, the Fed didn't print money to purchase ETFs and distort/inflate the market.

If there is a "new normal" for the PE, the hard part is figuring out what it is. What is the new acceptable level? I have no idea.

I don't disagree, but Bitcoin is deflationary by nature so it's effectively worse on that count. You have zero incentive to spend or invest bitcoins since by design they increase in value as time goes by.
Thank you very much for explaining that. That makes a lot of sense. I really wish there was a better way for tagging things like narrow/twisty natural surface trails vs. wide flat ones, but that seems all balled up in US vs. EU hiking things, MTB tagging... It's a mess.

(Making it worse, someone naively editing a mountain bike trail in iD will end up inadvertently flagging it as highway=cycleway. And then people using OSM for cycling directions get routed down an MTB trail... Yay.)

A hobby that burns 1% of the words electricity and costs literally Millions of dollars every day. If that should stay like that It would need to be a very very popular hobby. Like watching soccer matches popular. The thing is 99.9% do not participate in Bitcoin as a hobby on alternative money. They speculate on gains in the regular money. If there is no more uptrend and crazy gains it cant sustain as a small hobby with only a fraction of the people left paying for the actual running costs which are now still payed by the block reward.
Until the relatively recent planned power outages because of fire risk, here in Northern California (an hour north of SF) it was once every year or two.

If I had to guess, I would think it's wildly variable based on location and the factors of that location. A more remote community with one main power line through forested area might experience power loss more often, and a larger city with higher density probably has its own problems with load spikes which may cause problems. Maybe a suburb or medium sized city with semi-recent infrastructure is actually the sweet spot for power reliability?
Absolutely, there are certainly ways to put on a show like you're helping people and not really care.

Finding those people is harder than the Yacht idiots, but that's why we have watchdogs for public charities and can make laws regulating what people can do with a charity.

If people are making investments not as part of a public charity, we have journalists to hopefully keep some high level accountability, but yeah youn can do bad stuff with money in a lot of ways, go figure.

Even people doing lots of good can still be seen on a spectrum, I love a lot of the work Bill Gates is doing around the world, but I think he worked really hard to fight FOSS, and I think the world is worse off in some ways for it.

I'm saying buying crazy expensive luxury goods is never a good thing, it's just a waste of resources to prop up someone's shallow ego.
Where I am currently in India, the ISP does provider-level NAT: multiple customers are on the same IPv4 address. No idea how many. This thing is showing around a dozen movies (a mixture of English and local language, plus it looks like someone wants to become a web developer) being downloaded per day, and I’m confident none of them are coming from the local network I’m attached to. This NAT is also a right pain, because there are always at least one or two strains of malware running on the address, so that it’s always on at least one or two blacklists, which causes the occasional problem. As an example, earlier today I couldn’t access ConvertKit’s Terms of Service page at all because Wordfence didn’t like my IP address. (But it only blocked access to that one page. Weird.) It was worse when I was here 3–4 years ago: at that time, the IP address was on most of the blacklists, and each and every site protected by Cloudflare would complain and require a CAPTCHA before it would let you in. (Though at least it would let you in, unlike Wordfence today.) It’s times like that when you realise viscerally just how much of the internet is behind Cloudflare.

Back in 2012, the same ISP was intercepting all DNS (!) and serving OpenDNS with the stupid give-you-a-search-page-instead-of-an-NXDOMAIN-response thing that they had back then, forcibly enabled.

Hopefully the copy of “Avast Premium Security 20.2.2401 (Build 20.2.5130) Final + Serial” someone downloaded will help them clear the malware out, rather than make things worse.

I recently discovered that rewriting shell scripts into TCL works really well -- going from Bash to Tcl is a smoother transition than Bash to Python. The "exec" command even has support for redirections and pipes.

As you say, the rights are often in opposition, and I would say that your proposed limit on speech in favor of association would actually require undoing limits on association that are arguably more fundamental. If a person can be fired for holding objectionable opinions, how far are we away from firing them because they talk about unionizing or because of their religion? Or will those things be on a list of "Things You're Allowed to Have an Opinion About"?

And I agree that the quoted sentence is too absolute, but I don't think the spirit is wrong, in the sense that behavior can be circumscribed by society in a way that that completely prevents it without it having been made illegal, and it's not convincing (to me, anyway) to suggest that the behavior isn't prohibited because it is, in fact, legal.
If it's stable, wouldn't immunity be stable too? Or is immunity decay a matter of your immune system being unstable, rather than the virus?
so why is this year's COVID-19 such a big deal then? with about 800.000 deaths it's a medium flu season. Weak would be under 500.000 strong over 1.000.000. In most countries we to have undermortality (with an IFR of under 0.3%). I see the danger of the global panic caused by politics, which is a big deal.

from which family the saisonal flu comes from is not really interesting (other than vaccination planners) and only politically relevant. The disease is always the same.
MACLISP I can't really comment on as I don't know it and Wikipedia makes no mention of this, but yeah - MyPy is definitely an optionally-typed python code checker. It fits that category for both comment-based and in-language type hints, because it performs checks based on that info.

For Python itself though: if you have a syntactic element which does not change behavior in literally any way, whether present or absent and regardless of what it contains: sounds like a comment to me.
You are either a duck or a swan. They are similar. But not the same. Neither is essentially better.

It doesn't matter how you define them. The only important aspect is that once you realise you are one and not the other you know you don't fit.

You can swim with the others, even eat and socialise with them but understand you are not the same. You may need to adjust your methods and expectations. Consider your presence and possible exit strategy carefully. Even how you interact may need to be adjusted lest you offend them even accidentally.

If you want to use Plex you will need something to run the player on (the library and server would live in your seedbox).

I don’t know about your family, but I have only one relative on Twitter and none on Reddit. If I wanted to organize something with my family, Twitter or Reddit would be the wrong place for it.

Also I’m not sure how relevant blocking ads is to this. If it’s just about annoyance then Reddit and Twitter both have some extremely annoying aspects as well. Reddit is absolutely relentless about trying to get you to install their crappy app. Twitter is relentless about trolling external links that get too popular.
It's crazy for most of us to imagine, but huge modern populations in Europe have been doing this for thousands of years. Dense urban cores without cars is how cities were designed to work.

It's amazingly great to get around in these places, there are shops accommodating every need you can imagine in all parts of the urban core, and it reduces a lot of friction when considering to go out for something spontaneous.
Lots of students have Mac notebooks, but want to run julia/scientific python/etc.
I believe the main use case for Prolog is to create other languages and DSLs on top of the Prolog engine, especially rule based and logic-aware languages. This is the kind application for which Prolog shines due to its characteristics. A huge example is the early implementation of Erlang, but also some more niche stuff related to the semantic web like [1].

Most people I know who experience burnout have not learned how to make their own deadlines. They feel pressured by management's deadlines and blindly do what they're told instead of what is healthy. Mental and physical health always comes first. If you're regularly working 50 hours a week to meet a deadline, you might want to stop and ask yourself why you're doing that.

For me, I've had burnout but it's been from 1) not being treated well by coworkers or management or 2) not being given the right workload and not knowing how to express that to management.

Isn't the stupid thing that the tax system is set up such that these things are possible(to pay less tax than you 'should')? As David Mitchell says[0], making how much tax you pay a sliding scale based on your morality or ethics(while still remaining on the right side of the law) is just a tax on morality and ethics - the people with the least of those things will end up richer than the people with more of it, which is 'fucking bonkers'

I got into a big argument over a Monopoly game once - three of us were playing, Player 1 was in the clear lead, I was in second place but at a large disadvantage, and Player 3 had the least assets but was not having fun and wanted to leave the game. The rules of monopoly say that a player quitting gets all their properties sent to the bank, which then auctions them off. If that happened, Player 1 would have easily beat me in a heads up manner. So I convinced Player 3 to not quit just yet, and to sell me all of his properties for $1. Player 1 was furious, saying it was against the rules, but there is no rule against selling your properties for next to nothing and then quitting immediately. Was I in the wrong for convincing Player 3 to sell me his properties before quitting?

BTW, I ended up winning the game.

Mostly. They aren't "actively managed" in the same sense as non-index funds. Humans need to make some decisions about what to include, and monitor to make sure things like tracking error are low and tax efficiency is high. This is not trivial, which is why index funds were not just some obvious concept that has existed forever, and why, when John Bogle articulated the concept in the 70s at Vanguard, tens of them didn't just immediately pop up.

They're the type of object that looks very simple from the outside, and acts very simply, but, under the covers there's a good deal of stuff going on. It's kind of like how the steam engine is a very simple concept (in fact, the ancient Greeks invented a simple steam engine [0]), but, if you look at it at the very lowest level, you can't model how each individual water molecule contributes to the functioning of the whole.

That's not to say index funds have emergent behaviors. Rather that they work internally in ways you, the investor, don't need to care about, because they're designed to have that fairly predictable and simple external behavior.

Put another way: ever wonder why an index fund would need to have any management fee at all (i.e. why there's a nonzero expense ratio)? The reason is because they are managed, and you have to pay people to do that.

Sorry, I edited my comment to add links before I saw your reply.
No you didn't get this right, although I'm sure you do know what the right explanation is and are exaggerating for effect.

Operators and sidecars are definitely not the "new model" but a pretty old concept with various names and are effective for what they do. You can simply call it a layer of abstraction, the same way NGINX can serve as a reverse proxy to abstract authentication and load balancing while your app just serves HTTP requests.

Furthermore, by the way, theft typically destroys total value. If someone steals a wallet (or anything really), the amount he gets from fencing it is typically much smaller than the cost (including hassle, time spent, and potentially nostalgic value) to the original owner of replacing everything (if that’s possible at all).

Copyright infringement, by contrast, arguably creates value - instead of one person being able to see the movie, two can see it.
BIP39 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawi...) mnemonics are the industry standard for deriving keys. If you use enough words (the standard will not let you use less than 12), then you are completely fine.

On taxes this will forever be an evolving discussion. Hopefully with good policies over the next few decades we can even out some of the income and wealth disparities and need a smaller welfare state. When that happens I'm all for tax cuts.

But at this point the capital gains rate is absolutely in need of change. Taxing the rich is really politically popular, across the political spectrum. If someone has to pay %39 on a million dollars of earned income, the "job creators" making billions can pay something closer to that on their income too.
For individual investors, bonds are looking good right now, though.

* US TIPS are up about 7.5% YTD

* Aggregate bond funds (BND, SCHZ, etc.) are up 6-7%

* Intermediate-term bond funds (IEF, etc.) up > 11%

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is at 6% YTD.

Bonds are sensitive to interest rates, but it seems nobody is expecting those to change this year.
There's several! We tried all of them without much luck :(. The most complete seems to be the old flang, which was basically an open sourced version of the PGI compiler hacked up to generate LLVM IR by concating strings to generate textual LLVM IR. However, that project is basically abandoned and also depends on LLVM 7, while you probably want at least LLVM 10 to generate good code for Apple Silicon, so somebody would have to do that porting work, which doesn't seem like a worthwhile investment.

Those look like benchmarks comparing just autovectorized compilation of some tools and measuring overall runtime. I am referring to cases of hand tuned use SIMD. The bSIMD project used to have a suite of benchmarks up and some where very very impressive for AVX-512. The page appears to be gone or moved now though.

To be clear I am not suggest "avx-512 will cause programs to run twice as fast or more", just that specific functions that used to use AVX-2, may be more than twice as fast if you move them to AVX-512.
My theory is that there is too much money seeking to be invested, because too much of current society revolves around time-shifting money (which is essentially what investing does).
If you wallet is using the BIP39 standard you just memorize the 12-word phrase. The words come from the key, not vice versa.

Also, you can get by with just memorizing one phrase, because unlimited addresses are tied sequentially to a single phrase.
