As a Buddhist myself, that's a poor description of Buddhism. The "suffering" the Buddha spoke about is not general pain, it's a more specific ailment. The word he used was "dukkha" which a lot of modern Buddhists argue more directly translated to "unsatisfactoriness", or as I think of it, "wishing that things were different than the way they are."

That's the specific pain the Buddha teaches about and tries to help with—it's not about becoming numb to the world at all. It's simply overcoming the desire for things to be different than the way they actually are. The method, by the way, is to become more aware of the world and your feelings—not less so.

Disclaimer: I'm just a lay student of Buddhism and far from a teacher myself. This is just my understanding from years of reading about it. Not all Buddhists agree with this perspective, but I believe it's the vast majority amongst Theravadans at least.
Could, say, California tax corporations net worth at a percentage of the revenue derived from California? (This is a downward extrapolation from the original article's proposal to deal with assets hidden overseas.) I'm queasy about the current SCOTUS's assent.
Yea, for a lot of requirements hard realtime isn't necessary and at least some older linux systems can be tuned to remove almost all jitter giving very good 99.9th percentile figures. I've even seen it done with zero alloc java

You can do stuff like this, Java devs in particular get freaked out by this sort of thing in my experience. (Forgive the formatting)

import foo

foo.auth = new_auth

foo.auth("admin", "badpass")
now returns True
Perhaps this was one of the many possible triggers and not a cause. It’s possible that some stressful events in your life would trigger something similar at a later date. The thing is that once such an episode happens one learns about some limits and how to stay away from them. How is your health now? I used to have some slight hypomanic states which were very productive and creative but would end up with a depressed and brain foggy period before I learned to avoid those triggers. One of those for me was drinking too much coffee, poor sleep hygene and some poorly
done or unattended breathing exercises which resulted in a short but very bad period of hyperventilating and a few panic attacks. Some 14-15 years have passed since and have been feeling just normal, if not much better as I have a better diet and a more ballanced lifestyle: exercise, good sleep, etc
Maybe the innovation is designing devices that require orders of magnitude less energy, and then meeting in the middle with low output energy sources like solar panels, etc.

I’m bipolar. My understanding from my own experience is that any attempt to play around with altered states of consciousness is dangerous when you’re already predisposed to psychosis.
Google's approach to that is to make submodules better, so you can have a "superproject" which has submodules of multiple repos that looks like a monorepo. If you look at https://android.googlesource.com/ all the projects named as "superproject" are for this purpose.

Or at least that was the plan at 2016 when I left Google.

I'm assuming he's referring to an RBS article which was mischaracterized by Barrons and then widely broadcast in the tech media... the RBS article looked at hashrate growth since launch and attempted to estimate the number of 30-series GPUs sold (the number they came up with was about 7% of gaming revenue). Barron's then took that number and trumpeted it as NVIDIA selling cards directly to miners when that's not what the original article said at all, they were just estimating how many cards ended up mining from any source, and it was sub-10% regardless.

But of course nobody actually went back and looked at the original article, and because it's NVIDIA everyone is completely willing to give full faith to any claims that make them look bad. Lie goes around the world before the truth has its pants on, etc.

But if there's an article I'm willing to read it.
Obviously protocols aren't aware of anything. Humans designed the protocols, however, and are very much aware of such things.

New SWAT drone smashes windows, opens doors, and negotiates with suspects
250 days is mon-fri, with three days off. 250 * 2 * $20 is $10,000. That sounds like a lot, but - it depends on what you gain/lose. If you can avoid buying a car (plus insurance and gas), and live a little further away, in a place that's a little bit cheaper - you can easily save more than $10,000 a year. Uber-enabled at the edge of the city for $1200 / month vs walkable in the middle of the city at $2000 / month, and you're pretty close to break even.

I still took the bus for fixed commutes (to and from work) - when I woke up on time. But uber is very convenient if you're in a city - the population density makes rides near instantaneous.
Rogers plan to buy Calgary-based Shaw would create Canada's 2nd-biggest telecom
I have mixed feelings about the article - a lot of that has to do with the fact that over the ~10 retreats I've been on, with dozens of people that I interacted with after the retreat was over, I haven't really observed the negative affects they're talking about.

However, I do agree that if you meditate for an hour a day or more (or sure, 40 minutes) having a good teacher is important.

Dr. Britton put together something called a "Meditation Safety Toolbox" that looks really interesting, looking forward to diving into it: https://www.brown.edu/research/labs/britton/meditation-safet...
> A few examples in the blog post stood out to me - both refine ambigous letters to clear ones, which demonstrates concerns other folks were talking about in this thread.

Those images show an effect that looks similar to LCD subpixel rendering, which is an artifact of a scanner working at the limit of what it's sensor is capable of producing (typical CCDs have subpixel stripes (or arrays), just like LCD screens.

Scanners typically overcome this by oversampling and then downsampling the raw data to smooth out the effect. In theory you could also do this with less oversampling if you could manage to get the scanner to do subpixel offsets, and oversampling isn't needed at all if the CCD doesn't use striping or a Bayer array but instead layers the RGB detectors on top of each other, like the Foveon X3 CCD.

Anyway, it is pretty clear that the main benefit of the upsampling interpolation in these particular images is in correcting these subpixel color fringes. Downsampling back to the original resolution should still yield an improved image, which is quite intriguing.
I can confirm this. I just created an app with 0 permissions (everything set to "no access"), and the page looks exactly like the screenshot in the article.
Have the proposed impact of Neural Nets come to light yet? I don’t say this in a snarky way. In my life I don’t encounter them much or at all and thinking about Google specifically their search results don’t seem to be getting better.
> it seems to be making the claim that any damage to an animal, intentional or not, related to the filming or not, should void the label — which is to me wholly unreasonable.

I strongly disagree. A movie where a horse was accidentally impaled and subsequently euthanized due to that injury at any point during production or under contract should not get to make and advertise the claim "No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of This Film," and that claim be certified by an organization that's only purpose is to grant such a disclaimer, because the claim would then be patently false. Quite obviously, in very many and possibly most if not all cases, "No Animals Were Harmed" is a lie used in I would think all cases to prevent the production from losing money. Personally, I have no trouble spotting this as immoral behavior. IMO the American Humane Association should be shuttered, and any subsequent false of use of that label should come down to false advertising and cruelty to animals prosecutions. Making a movie, especially those with animals, takes a lot of people, so any idiot involved thinking secrets can be kept can attempt to keep them without the need of any fake oversight organization.

I'm not just annoyed by the title. The "problems" are generally feature requests sold as bugs.
It might be forbidden within the context of certain religious paths/orders, but it's not forbidden for random people on the internet to experiment with whatever exercises they come across.

I think the site where I got it doesn't exist any more. I think I have a copy in my own archives somewhere.

The basic gist of the practices was a combination of various asanas, mantras, pranayama and visualisation.
Ever searched for images and had it work?

Neural nets are incredibly good.
And the economics of reversibility depend on that number increasing as the amount of economic value transacted increases. If 0.01% of the world's money moves through bitcoin today, if you want that to be 10% then you're going to have to spend 1000x more energy to keep the network secure.
I have a very intelligent, kind friend who lives alone, got deep into meditation during covid, started hallucinating / getting increasinly paranoid, and ended up hospitalized for a couple of weeks and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She is doing better now but will almost certainly have to drop out of school. That's not to say meditation is a bad thing, or should be avoided, but it isn't without risk or harmless necessarily either. If it can do so much good, what's to say it cannot also do bad. The mind is a powerful thing.
Show HN: I made an integrated learning tool, like Anki and Workflowy in one
Intensive retreats aren't to be underestimated. It's a serious spiritual path that isn't designed to make one well adjusted to this world right away. I think the end result can be a fully integrated self actualized person, but the traditional view is that it might take lifetimes.

Lifetimes are not what most westerners are (or should be, imho) willing to sacrifice.

Top tier meditation institutions in the west and in Asia are not ignorant of meditation induced psychosis and they have ways of dealing with it. Everyone who claims all meditation is great and nothing bad can happen is ignorant.

Some of my most respected meditation teachers are known for recommending that people don't take up intensive retreats if they feel they have a choice in the matter. If it feel unavoidable, then do it. If it's just something you want to try, don't.
I can immediately recall at least 4 saying this.

However, if 20 minutes of mindfulness a day sets you off into strange psychological territory, then I have a hard time believing that meditation was at fault. The "dosage" simply isn't high enough to be the key factor.
I can’t speak to what Nietzsche said or didn’t say, but anyone who says Stoicism or Buddhism is about avoiding suffering understands neither.
> I work with a compiler that has just tens of engineers working on it over just a decade or so and even that's a 6 GB repository. No binary assets. Just source code and configuration I think. I really don't think it's that unusual.

That's a lot of code! I think that is at least a little unusual. The monorepos I see are usually large because people gratuitously commit large binary files (and sometimes change them, generating huge changesets).
Ha, first thing I noticed before even reading the article. Can't decide whether it's just a coincidence or a subtle commentary (leaning towards the former).

Yes, but I don't have it handy to quote to you. By the way, the forced use of Apple Pay is the really big anticompetitive behavior -- bigger than the forced use of the Apple App Store.

It's not, though. The legal system, and your bank will protect you in this scenario.

You would report the fraud, and you would get your money back.

In the case of plaid almost every bank has somewhere in their terms of service that you are responsible for protecting your online banking password, and they are not liable if you have a loss as a result of a third party getting your password from you.

Which means if Plaid is a bad actor, or if they lose your password on accident, and your money is taken, the bank will disclaim all liability, and will not be obligated to make you whole.

So, while it might be easier for money to flow out of your account due to ACH fraud, it'll be a lot harder to get that money to come back if it's due to your own password handling mistakes.
Chromebooks are great! But funny thing about them, you can also unlock the bootloader if you want, and install whatever you like.

It's not an either or. I agree that most devices should probably be locked down by default, but there should still be an off switch. The so-called dancing bunnies problem everyone brings up doesn't appear to have caused a problem.
Thanks for the question. My mental health these days is usually okay, although drinking too much is a problem for me, along with intermittent insomnia and depression. Having a stable income helps, and I live a lifestyle which doesn't invite much stress.

Glad to hear you're also feeling better these days :)

I had to implement a SP SAML logic at a previous job. The customer who wanted it just kept telling us to enable some apache mod and it works, except when you have a java fat jar without Apache, you have to add your own endpoints and we had to add integration for native clients.

I asked about implementing logout cause I saw it was a thing in the SAML docs. The customer didn't care so our app trashed it cookies as usual and didn't report it to the IdP. It just wasn't worth the time.
I ran into a bug like this in Australia's MyGov system.

I would log in to the main page where we can view government services. Then I would click through to the ATO (our IRS) to see some statements or whatever. I would then close the window and log out in MyGov then log back in with my wife's account. Click through to the ATO would show my details instead of hers. IIRC logging out wouldn't work either since that would mess up the session, I'd have to come back later.

Couldn't find anywhere to report this so I ignored it. I think they fixed it now.

FT was a major leap forward in Video Chat. It completely changed the game.
Cited article is about _potential_ torque loads and the need to design for it, and does not address light duty typical use case for mail delivery.

Jerk causes chatter (slippage) between parts and can significantly reduce designed life. Electric motors are amazing at smoothing out discontinuities. Nokian has stated EVs are easier on tyres for this reason.

In this case for short-distance batteries I estimate battery pack mass of 150kg more than ICE equipment. Increased mass would not have a major impact on ball joints and tyres, these loads will be designed in.

With all this talk of crypto, it's ironic that the problem is essentially the same as bitcoin, it's a Sybil Attack problem. Scalpers can pretend to be dozens of people (registering multiple accounts, trivial variations on address, privacy cards to generate unique credit card numbers, automating all this by botting, etc) and the real underlying problem is that you need is a unique personal identifier.

I personally think hardware identifiers are a good approach. NVIDIA has GeForce Experience, they have access to hardware identifiers and telemetry that will let them see who's actually gaming. This approach works very well for games like Overwatch, where hardware bans are essentially "game over" and you now have to get a new motherboard, CPU, GPU, clean OS install, and new IP address in order to hack again, it is fairly painful and slows down hackers significantly after a ban wave.

(Or something like requiring a unique driver's license, one per person.)

All of the other approaches are trivially gameable. A queue? Scalpers will register 1000 accounts and take all the queue spots. A lottery? Scalpers will register 1000 accounts and win all the lottery cards. etc etc. There will always be retailers if you do not currently have a card or are morally opposed to GFE.
the opposite if this is true. with scifi ai on that level, bad lawyers would just pay to use the ai for legal work and focus on developing social relationships to get valuable clients. this is how a lot of professionals spend their time now

most things in life that make a lot of money are social. if everyone has access to ai knowledge and skills that can be copied, then the social aspect is even more important
You'd need to have some automated process cherry-picking changes across if you did it this way. To be honest, I think a flag day is the easiest way to handle this, but it does require tooling support to a) lock the repo out while it's going on, and b) prevent users from pushing back in all the removed content immediately afterward.
The point is it doesn't matter how hard or how easy it is, Google has no entitlement to anyone else's labor or content and if they post content to their website in violation of copyright I don't think "he didn't say the magic word that stops us from stealing content" is a defence any reasonable judge should entertain.
Yup, that's precisely it.

We documented the login breaks from Samesite and 3p cookies, but logout was both not particularly a concern for folks (I've gotten about three inquiries in two years), and pointless to document tombstoning patterns for Samesite since ITP would break those anyway.

No Seriously, Hate Your Tools
I don't; one can only drive one car at a time, one can only be in one room at a time, one can only eat one stomach full of food in a given period, one can only read/watch/experience at most 24 hours of media in a day.

Once your Versailles is big enough, you won't be able to walk it in a day. Once it's bigger than that, you won't be able to drive its length in a day. Once it's bigger than that, you won't be able to travel its length in a lifetime at light speed. There's a limit for you. But you likely won't want to spend your entire life travelling at lightspeed to the far wing of your house, then die. So that drops the limit enormously.

What does it mean for it to be "your Versailles" - could you draw or depict Versailles in detail from memory? How will you verify that your clone is exactly like the original? Do you care? Do you really mean that you get to design your own mega-palace? So now you spend your life choosing furnishings and layouts and architectural details - hope you like that kind of passtime, because there's a lot of it. But if you don't like that, why bother having "your Versailles" instead of going to look at someone else's for a few hours? Or look at a picture, for that matter? What are you going to do with your Versailles? Are you a king or queen with courtiers and subjects so that you can have extravagant parties? Are you going to organise the food and cleaning and heating that the robots do?

How old are you, were you around when computers ran at Khz speeds? And now you have effectively "infinite computing power", you spend your time commenting about Bitcoin on HN - why aren't you simulating your own Virtual Versailles and flights to the moon and stuff? Because it's not that interesting now you can do it? Endless hedonism is boring.

> "Who doesn't want to fly their jet or space rocket just for fun to the moon and back?"

OK, that's taken a week of sitting in a tiny box waiting and doing nothing. What about the rest of your entire life?

Listing fancy sounding things is what religions do to entrap people with dreams of heavenly afterlives. All you have to do is look around you at all the things you once wanted, and suddenly don't once you attain them - the drawer of abandoned Raspberry Pies is a common one for HN people to notice, then start to internalise that you can have any film ever made delivered to you from Amazon for a few bucks, and you don't, you can't think of a film you'd rather watch than comment "Make your own exchange." on a Robinhood thread on HN. Got a wardrobe of too many clothes? Got boxes of unused stuff? A garage of tools and spares?
There are also the factors that the person stopped taking her meds and didn't sleep for a long time before the mental break down.

When I was a kid, I thought about nihilism a lot, but I don't think thinking about it brought any adverse effect on my mental development or day-to-day behavior. "What is one life compared to the vast cosmos" I would ask myself such questions and feel very lost, but when lunch time comes, I knew I was hungry and I went to eat.

I suspect that the physiological factors contributes more to such psychosis as described in the article, than the idea of nihilism or Buddhism. The underlying mental condition, sleep deprivation, the vicissitude of her life, the exhaustion from sitting still, the sudden brake on taking meds... One of those would drive some people crazy, and she had them all.
I had just started a new job and my manager handed me a project to implement the SP side of SAML into our monolith. He explicitly said, I looked at the docs and don't want to deal with that headache. Fuck, that was a pain in the ass. So many bugs just due to conflicting statements in different parts of the docs. Everything can be done 5 different ways.
