Learning psychology, and learning to trick yourself into accomplishing greater goals is probably one of the most effective life hacks I've ever used.

If you don't like it, that's fine. I'm just saying... it works. And it works very well. Predict your own behaviors, be honest with yourself, and then nudge yourself into improving yourself through greater reasoning.

If you know that X will make you overeat, then avoid X from the start. If you know that Y makes you feel full, then eat Y. Etc. etc. That reduces the amount of measuring you need to do when dieting, because you can start to trust the nerve-cells in your stomach and/or brain chemistry for when you feel full and/or hungry.

That's the problem with a lot of diets: they don't recognize the efficacy that a little bit of psychology and prediction can do. Everyone's psychology is slightly different: what works for one person doesn't work for everyone else. So you need to customize it to each person.

But once you figure out someone's psychology, you really can "manipulate them to better themselves". That includes yourself. And its a lot less stressful than trying to "willpower" your way throughout the hours, days, or weeks.

Why would anyone choose to help us peasants if this is how we react?
Thanks for all the explanations.

I have to say I am always at a loss when quantum physicists start talking about "measurement".

In the classical world, measuring means looking at a particular variable x in a system S at time t, S(t) and via some process specific to x (which we want to measure), Mx, obtain the value of Mx(S(t)).

In QM by contrast, it seems that measurement itself has an action upon the system so that measuring in fact means looking at some Mx(Z(S,t)) where you actually never know S but only some kind of end product Z that is believed to reflect S but is itself the result of an unknown operation on S that QM people call "collapse".

So you seek Mx(S) but in fact spend your time looking at Mx(Z(S)) and draw conclusions on S... but I have yet to hear anyone explain to me, physically what is Z, how it works, etc. Lots of statistics, but no real understanding of that "collapse" process.
No, but I thought it would be a good reference. I just ran a game and pinged the instance that was streaming (120.37.116.136), funny enough it ping was worse (8ms) than the ping to stadia.com (3ms). Also the IP is no longer pingable once you stop streaming the game. MTR shows something like 20 nodes inbetween me and the instance compared to 6 with stadia.com.
Thank you, that's a good addition. I knew it didn't happen with mRNA, but also knew that there was _a_ route from RNA to DNA, though I couldn't remember what. That's why I hedged my statement with "usually".
> If you look at the historical benchmarks of the non-apple ARM chips, though they're clearly behind apple, they have largely kept pace.

Not really. Look at the difference between Apple's "little" cores and the stock ARM "little" core.

>The performance showcased here roughly matches a 2.2GHz Cortex-A76 which is essentially 4x faster than the performance of any other mobile SoC today which relies on Cortex-A55 cores, all while using roughly the same amount of system power and having 3x the power efficiency.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16192/the-iphone-12-review/2

Apple's Icestorm "little" cores are in the same performance ballpark as the big cores in the Qualcomm variant of a Galaxy S10.

That's a night and day difference.
I'm enthused!

Personally, I have a hard time imagining using this without upvotes, reacjis, and/or threads – would anticipate far too much chaff to get to the wheat as I scroll through discussions. In a reasonably busy chat room, something needs to indicate what's worth reading or jumping in on, and separating the various streams of chatter.
I am happy that you think that works for you but I have a hard time believing that it will have any actual meaningful effect for most people. You can describe an activity in any different set of synonyms but the activity at its core does not change.

Your approach reminds me of a cross between "neurolinguistic programming" and the character Tom Sawyer when he convinces everyone that painting a fence is fun.

The euphemism treadmill? I thought "simp" started out as an insult?
Dennis Tito went as a tourist in 2001 for $20 million. If you can get a turd generator to space for that price, I’d imagine it’s considerably cheaper to get the finished product up there.

When we were looking for an apartment between selling and buying houses, I was surprised by how there is a decided floor to rent prices. Like nothing exists below a certain point. Somehow I felt we could just get a super cheap place because I thought housing price would scale with income. I was surprised when I found out it didn't. So your cost of living example holds up in my experience.

Actually it is the time needed to set up a space for playing. I have moved from a 3000 square foot home to one half that size and I feel like I'm drowning in boxes that need to be unpacked. Not to mention I moved in before putting in flooring so half the house has throw rugs over plywood.

On top of that I just had surgery and have been suffering some related issues which are sapping my energy.

You are right, I could find the time if I had a piano in the house already and probably will get one in the new year but ATM things are too hectic to be moving in a piano. I think I will eventually save an old upright from going to the dump and hire a tuner to set it up.
Well, sometimes the treadmill goes in reverse.
Wow, i never heard of this; sounds cool! I just started reading up on PEX, but now will read a little more on XAR. Thanks for sharing; TIL!
Why don’t you think it has probable cause, oath, or description? This is a very low bar and has nothing to do with courts or judges.
Makes me wonder if it would've been more effective to do something like "messages containing the word 'simp' appear with an additional 800 ms of latency." That way subtle selection pressure would just make it less common - e.g. your message appears later and people have less time to reply to it. But, the latency would be subtle enough that nobody would notice or be able to prove it was happening. Would there be a gradual decline in word use?
If this case can be pushed to the Supreme Court, it would become very interesting. If the case is successful, it would tie nicely into the current administration's efforts in disrupting the tech giants with Section 230.

The point is, we don't have to worry about what feels right when we have the ability to implement a computerized auction and maximize the wealth we extract from these people in the first place.

I agree with OP. I'm betting if you have an open auction, 25k would come in on the low side.
Interesting a younger Donald Trump proposed a wealth tax back in 1999 (of 14.5% on $10M or more). But the 16th Amendment clearly says "income" tax. It doesn't say "wealth" or "assets" or "property", so any wealth tax without an amendment would fail on constitutional grounds.

Haha, fair point. As a user I appreciate that priority very much. It's hard to resist the pressure to add features.

Let me recalibrate and restate: Just because you have a formal process to adjudicate disputes, to the extent possible it should not impact operations when things are going well, infecting everyday routines with needless bureaucratic formalities.
In your experience, what‘s the max(0) position you can get to without the degree?

(0) max in this case being a general term since as you mention it’s possible to get to the higher levels. Essentially where’s the point at which it becomes much harder.
I find it extremely ironic. I’m currently finishing “Countdown to Zero Day” and some people are saying that NOBUS (nobody but us) doctrine reduces the attack surface considerably. Some other people highlight this mentality as extremely dangerous from a defense standpoint.

Ten years after Stuxnet/Flame saga, USA is experiencing a same kind of attack and their stated preparedness has not improved from the levels stated in that book.

It’s fascinating.

Edit: No. I’m not enjoying this. There’s no schadenfreude.

Thanks for XState and all the work you put in to it. It’s an amazing thing.

If a company does bad things, then consumers have a right to attack that company for it.

Instead, I find it extremely "entitled" for someone to think that a company should be immune from criticism.

Well, one reason to do that, is to cause financial damage to the company, in order to punish them for their behavior.
What makes you say this? I thought it was a common rumor that the NSA had backdoors in everything. Wouldn't Mutually Assured Destruction make an attack irrational, just as it deters nuclear attacks?
Sure, but China can destroy TSMC regardless (it's cost-prohibitive to harden something the size of a semiconductor fab against even conventional, dumped-out-the-back-of-a-aircraft bombing). The point of a scuttling system is not to prevent it from being destroyed, but to prevent the enemy from gaining any benefit from capturing it.
They won’t be launching individual turds, instead it would be a turd cluster with thousands of turds which will decay in orbit at the same time, raining an ultra-hot turd rain which will hopefully evaporate prior to reaching sea-level, instead making clouds slightly turdier.

iOS 14.3 Brings WebRTC to WKWebView, Closing Gap on iOS Accessibility
I appreciated the author's life story, but I don't understand the point of learning a certain quality through a peripheral pursuit. The best way to learn real life things is to engage with real life things. There are so many things to do and so little time to do them.

The hours you spend playing chess/video games/whatever else is marketed to boost some ability are better spent pursuing what you want out of life directly. Or spent doing these same things, but out of genuine interest and for their own sake.
Know what it has more of in spades? Being completely ignorant of any egregious actions that their various levels of governments commit on a daily basis.
Governments have already paid for the production. Rich people paying hospitals would funds hospital coffers and not go further.

If you think the states should get the money, then taxes are a better approach.

Giving this to rich people does nothing to further immunity in vulnerable sectors of the population - it weakens that goal.
To give another data point: https://ossia.io had three different tentatives for implementing its UI manipulation "manually" before reaching for (indeed complex) state machines which I spent at least 4-5 full-time days specifiying on paper for all their cases (following days of meetings trying to define informal specs).

It's the thing that ended up working, and still works 4-5 years after the fact & numerous modifications / improvements / new features. Also Qt with GammaRay allows to visualize them "live" which was an immensely useful feature to debug them during development.

It sounds like there's some stuff in your analogy that is similar to the QM situation. I would caution against placing too much emphases on these analogies though since a very important aspect of all of this is not just that the two systems are correlated but rather that they are entangled.

There's a classic analogy to this when we talk about entanglement: imagine taking a pair of gloves and mixing them up. Put one in one box and the other in another box. Send one of the boxes far away. When you look down at the box that you kept, there is no way of knowing if it contains a left handed or a right handed glove; it's a 50/50 shot either way. Similarly you have no idea what the other box contains. You then decide to open your box and find a right handed glove. You then immediately know that the other box contains a left handed glove. In some sense this feels similar to what we see in entanglement but I don't think most people would claim that you opening your box somehow compelled the other glove to pick left/right. They were just always that way, you just didn't know which glove was where.

The claim, however, is that in QM it's not like this. Instead, your act of measuring your system actually does compell the other system to change.

For a long time there were a lot of heated arguments around all of this (most prominently between Einstein and Bohr) trying to figure out if the state of either box was truly undecided until you opened it or if there could have been some type of "hidden variable" that we had yet not discovered that nonetheless dictated what the state was (i.e. could it be more like the glove example or was it truly a new "spooky action at a distance"?)

For a long time physicists believed that this was an unanswerable question and should be relegated to philosophy. It wasn't until Bell discovered his inequality that this was dispelled. He designed an experiment that could be conducted to tell the two stories apart. When it was carried out, it was determined that nature is not like the glove example but rather consistent with the truly quantum story around entanglement. In other words, your measurement of your system actually does compelled the other system to change.
Christianity was far more dominant in Mexico and France, but in neither case did it prevent secularists from slaughtering Christians in huge numbers e.g. The cristero war and the war in the Vendee.
True, if we confuse being selfish with having a rational position.

I'm also curious if there is something inherent to ARM that would stop them from making similar optimizations to the AMD chips. They are already using TSMC so they are not held back by density.

That's kind of the idea. A regular tax and distribution also wouldn't keep vaccines from people who need them most.
It's not gonna work that way, though.
I have suggested, in another comment, directing the money to states rather than hospitals.

We don't need to take the narrow view that hospitals are the only way to do this. Let the states run the show, let them take the money, and let them use the money for social services, or to reimburse hospitals for vaccines, or whatever else that will make a positive impact.
There seems to be this large segment of the population who are utterly blind to the basic human psychological fact, that the people who they want to control with measures like this are the exact same people who will rebel harder against those measures.

Banning the word simp makes the word simp even funnier. Deciding that random things and certain language are 'problematic' and declaring undesirable thoughts as 'problematic' has the exact same effect. Banning drugs has made drugs more desirable, raising the smoking age makes smoking cooler. Calling trump a nazi and saying that the UK leaving the EU is xenophobic did nothing but strengthen peoples opinions.

It's the same behaviour from the same people, from banning words to polarising politics, that fails over and over and over again and they still fail to see it.
When the first chips using Apple's Firestorm cores were announced on 5nm, the theory was that Apple had used the node shrink to decrease power usage, not increase performance.

>The one explanation and theory I have is that Apple might have finally pulled back on their excessive peak power draw at the maximum performance states of the CPUs and GPUs, and thus peak performance wouldn’t have seen such a large jump this generation, but favour more sustainable thermal figures.

Apple’s A12 and A13 chips were large performance upgrades both on the side of the CPU and GPU, however one criticism I had made of the company’s designs is that they both increased the power draw beyond what was usually sustainable in a mobile thermal envelope. This meant that while the designs had amazing peak performance figures, the chips were unable to sustain them for prolonged periods beyond 2-3 minutes. Keeping that in mind, the devices throttled to performance levels that were still ahead of the competition, leaving Apple in a leadership position in terms of efficiency.

This. Founders, at least critical ones, may be compensated by a payment to help complete an acquisition, especially in the event that the exit was not a good one.

Founders and other employees who the acquirer wants to retain and the founders will then be given a retention package that vests over a few years. While the payment to support completing the deal generally goes to all of the founders and the CEO, the retention can, but usually doesn't include the CEO if not a founder or most non-engineering resources...
