I have followed a similar path. My problem is that I usually wake up at 3am after only 4-5 hours of sleep, and can't get back to sleep. After 2 nights of that I'll feel tired throughout the day.

I discovered that one good puff of marijuana when I wake up too early, helps me to drift off to sleep again. After that I wake up feeling great the next day!

My Oura ring tells me that the marijuana significantly lowers my resting HR, and increases my HRV (Heart Rate Variability). From what I understand both of those effects are beneficial.

5) Treat the Mac Pro chips as a line item in their R&D budget for future iPhone and iPad CPUs.

6) Maybe Apple will never build "Mac Pro" class CPU. Instead the Mac Pro ekes out an existence with a higher thermal budget and more GPU/FPGA accelerator cards. (Imagine if Apple released many more FPGA programs for their Afterburner and then let you add two or even four into a Mac?)

7) Use their most powerful chips to build a games console and crush out Nintendo like Sony did to Sega twenty years ago.

As i understand, there's some evidence that visual social networks are preferred by females, e.g. pinterest.

I recall a hypothesis that it has to do with women (or rather, neurotypes bell-curving around female gender identification) tending to use social media to discuss interpersonal and emotion-based content rather than facts and knowledge-sharing. There is more value placed on relationships with others when using social networks, which perhaps is bolstered by visual elements.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S026840121...

I do wonder whether text-based social networks (e.g., some subreddits, slashdot, HN, mailing lists) are biased toward making a certain sort of mind and neurotype more comfortable. And without those neurotypes, what ways of seeing might that community also now be lacking...

It's amusing to me the retweets (and hashtags) were emergent behaviour of early Twitter users, not any sort of well thought out plan for how the platform was intended to work.

And then the platform owners mostly misunderstood the problem and emergent solution, and natively implemented something similar but optimised for advertising sales metrics ("engagement!") instead of what the users were actually doing.

And then as the user base changed from it's early-userbase to being heavily biased to marketers (sorry, "influencers" and/or advertisers), and social media expert gurus started talking about "message amplification" - and so we end up with new contenders in the field thinking that the lack of ability to shout "brand messages" through a megaphone was the problem those early users "invented" retweeting to solve... <sigh>

(And now I'm imagining a world where a St*rbucks-like cafe chain hands megaphones to everybody as they enter the store, with the implicit understanding that you shout out every interesting bit of conversation you overhear, which inevitably quickly develops into people only shouting out other people's megaphone shouts because that's all you can hear, until eventually if crescendos into a Hendrix-esque never ending earsplitting feedback wail - probably Star Spangled Banner for maximum crudeness... Has Black Mirror done this yet?)
Off topic but... how do you do IO on a chip that only has 3 pins? I assume you need one pin for V+ and one pin for Ground and then there's only one pin left for both I and O?

Some people may want to work more than 8 hours a day, but a separate question is what maximizes personal and corporate productivity.

I've seen research suggesting that workers can get increased productivity working over 40 hours a week for several weeks, but after that, productivity actually goes negative relative to a 40 hour week, because more mistakes are being made that will require rework.
I've been distro hopping for since I have introduced myself to linux (2-3 years I think). Tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Suse, Mint, Arch, and a few random distros I found on distrowatch.

Finally settled for Arch (with KDE) and using it for 3-4 months now. I love it. It has forced me to learn a lot about linux. And now I realise other distros were too bloated and have a lot of packages I probably would never use.

That being said, I haven't tried Gentoo yet. Hmm. Someday maybe :P
Desktop: Arch Linux

Server: Ubuntu LTS or Debian
Lifelong linux user.

For desktop I’ve settled on Arch and it’s been smooth sailing for over ten years. The package management is vastly superior to ubuntu/debian and most mainstream distros. As a software developer, I often need recent mainline releases of major compinents like gcc/clang and other such libraries. Other distros force me to manage these manually and tend to have bad packaging conventions.

For server, I tend to do whatever is the “default” of the cloud provider I am working with as they tend to be tested the most and get security patches the quickest.

Everything is coated with highly flammable powder, so they have no trouble igniting from the burst.

It's a challenge actually to prevent everything from igniting prematurely. Especially with mortars, since they're propelled out of a tube with an explosion that can compromise the shell, igniting its contents immediately rather than up in the air as intended.

If you've ever seen a public fireworks display where the stars exploded awkwardly close to the ground instead of way up with everything else, it's likely because the explosion for thrusting it into the air managed to ignite the contents instead of the delayed fuse.
This reminds me of our Astronomy club.

I went from gentoo to arch years ago. Unless you absolutely need to compile the universe from scratch on your machine all the time, don’t bother. Arch’s greatest asset is its speed and excellent binay distribution. Gentoo affords you none of that. If you just want to “learn” I suppose, then by all means.
If this was used in a BMS with a lithium battery, a counterfeit sensor's behavior could result in the total loss of a device. Let's say the device's PCB is designed such that the sensor is connected to a rail that requires parasitic power, and you were unexpectedly shipped the D1 variant that outputs garbage data back to the onboard firmwre instead the proper temperature. Your company would have to recall every device in that manufacturing run at great expense, if it weren't caught early enough by QA.
The connection is not tenuous.

Basically as you say planes were designed to be user friendly --vs insisting on the user/pilot becoming an expert. New recruits were given comparatively little training before going on missions. That same viewpoint was implemented in Macs where the computer accommodated the user rather than have a new user get to know arcane systems.
I’m a physicist and I downvoted. Relativistic quantum field theory (which explains gold’s color) and quantum gravity are two entirely different things. We already have a relativistic quantum theories which combine quantum mechanics with Einstein’s special relativity, and explains everything we know about chemistry. Quantum gravity would combine the standard model with general relativity, which is only really needed for non-human scale things like black holes and the origin of the universe.

Special relativity and general relativity are two very different things. Don’t conflate them.
I've done a ton of distro hopping over the years and always come back to Fedora for a few main reasons:

* They ship a ton of mingw-w64 libraries. It's super nice to not have to cross-compile a bunch of dependencies when I'm building something for Windows.

* They ship debuginfo packages for everything. This was one thing I really missed when I used Arch, where I'd have to rebuild packages with "options+=(debug)".

* "dnf shell" exists, which lets you do multiple operations in one transaction that would otherwise cause conflicts if done separately. I'm not aware of any other distro package manager that supports this.

A point I've made on here before is the big near-term risk from AI is not general-purpose artificial intelligence. It's machine learning systems that do a better job of making corporate decisions than humans. Corporations are shareholder value maximizers. There's a powerful school of thought, the Chicago School, which claims that's all they should be, and have no other responsibilities.

Machine learning systems are really good at maximizing some defined criterion. It's quite possible that they might get good at making corporate decisions. They already do that for some investment funds.

Once machine learning systems are better at corporate decision making than humans, market forces will demand they be put in charge. The companies with inferior human-based technology will start to lose out. That's implicit in the forces behind capitalism.

Be afraid, CEOs. Be very afraid. The machines are coming to take your job.

Turkey converts Hagia Sophia from museum into mosque
I've bought ~100 of these sensors from ali and ebay and 9/10 had troubles reporting temperatures in passive mode reliably. However simply repeating requests until sensor reports a valid value (!=+85C and !=-127C) works fine. Rarely I've seen sensors not working in passive mode at all.

Still, I always recommend running an extra +VDC wire (3 wires vs 2 wires isn't a big inconvenience). When running large 1-wire buses (>100m long, dozens of sensors each), a dedicated power line is always a must.

Another funny use for these sensors is a source of nonce/id. Weirdly, every single DS18B20 I've bought had a unique ROM address, even when I got large batches. I still PTSD about that batch of PCIE network cards with identical MAC addresses...
> it just means they convinced management/HR to pay them $100k for turning up 250/365 days.

I mean isn't value based on what you can convince someone else to pay for the service/product. Are Mac's really valued at 10 grand or whatever, but rather simply what they've convinced someone to pay for that.

Also, isn't that the same for plumbers for example? Plumbers being paid around $150/hr (this is what is the going rate for a good plumber in Australia) are providing the world with $150/hr of value. It just means that they convinced the customer to pay them $150/hr for turning up to their house and taking a look at a leaky tap, one that could be fixed in about 5 mins.
As exmadscientist noted, these use the 1wire bus.

The general mechanism (to use 1 io pin as both an input and an output) though is to have the io-pin operate in "open collector" mode. Essentially: it assumes that there is something external "pulling up" the io _line_ (normally a resistor attached to the positive logic level), and all devices attached to the io-line only "pull down" (ie: output the 0 logic level, normally 0v) on their io-pin. The io-pins, thus, have 2 states: low (ie: 0v), and hi-z (high impedance, ie: not driving the output in any direction)

This ensures that no device on the io-line will directly push/pull against the level being driven by the other device (because all devices only drive 0v, and none drive the the logic 1 level, they rely on the pull up).

Then to allow communication to occur reasonably (without both ends pulling the io-line low all the time), buses like 1wire specify how the devices decide which one "wins" (ie: gets to transmit it's data), or which one goes first, or which one directs the other devices to "talk".
> it only works for n >= 2

Right, so it doesn't work -- either it's a correct proof of a non-sequitur ("true for n implies true for n+1, provided n meets some criteria"), or an incorrect proof of an inductive step ("true for n implies true for n+1").

Because it's claimed to be proof by induction, it's meant to be the latter -- the person doing the proving claimed to have proven the inductive step, and their proof of it was incorrect.

> >If it's already running in production you have to hope you don't accidentally corrupt production data

Or you write use a read replica to transform your data into a non-live DB and validate it before you put it into production, with backups of your final old schema available? Plus I really don't think a migration is that hard. Much harder than having a litany of shitty backends you have to glue together in your front-end app, trust me as someone who's done both.

I mean, I hear you, persisting data is hard, but that's not the database's fault, it's because you pick two of three on data: performance, persistence, and flexibility

> a database typically

But that's not the "worst performing" part of the stack, that's the highest latency part of the stack. Is there some specific reason you can not have co-located web & db servers? Also, is there a reason you still reference 2012 disk numbers when SSDs clearly have reduced all "disk" operations by an order of magnitude?

> just extending the data

What I mean by this is if you start with a minimal amount of columns in your database, and someone is like "we need new property x", it's easy to add X outside a migration - adding new columns or new tables does not require migrations if you don't modify existing columns

So this is my approach. Use as few bits as possible to persist your data, and then you can generally add new features migration-free

The problem here is that false information spreads quickly and is validated though sites like Google and Facebook through higher exposure. This has real consequences like the rise of anti-vaxers and other anti-science movements.
In fact sub-par artificial intelligence is probably at least as dangerous as sub-par human intelligence, when we let it loose with significant power/authority in the real world.

I don’t understand that goal I think is the issue. I have no issues with understanding control flow with just... functions and operators? Sure you can’t glean it from a glance at the textual representation of code you aren’t familiar with, but day to day that’s literally never a problem. We have tools for that.

A control flow problem worth solving is understanding async and multithtreaded code.

And yes the expressiveness of actual infix operators is, to me, a strict requirement. The language is for humans, not machines after all, and stuff like add(mul(add(a, b), mul(a, c))) for, say, dual quaternion a, b, and c is a non starter. Most of my code would unfortunately become unreadable and there are often no sensible variable names for those intermediate results.
Right, I do this in the assembly versions everywhere I multiply by a constant. mult5 is just an example.

"The reason why all those pilots were crashing when their B-17s were easing into a landing was that the flaps and landing gear controls looked exactly the same. The pilots were simply reaching for the landing gear, thinking they were ready to land. And instead, they were pulling the wing flaps, slowing their descent, and driving their planes into the ground with the landing gear still tucked in."
I really have no idea who to believe because there’s so many incentives to lie.
