Yes, kind of.

I'm pretty sure I am neither my ego nor my body. But besides the body and the ego (the ego being a product of the body) no thing which could be reasonably called me physically exists.

I am a rational kind so even if I believed in immortal soul in the Christian sense and could imagine an ethereal projection of my body retaining my memories going to some heaven after my body death, I would still understand the heaven as a physical place existing in spaces beyond reach of today measurement instruments and scientific reasoning of today. Therefore that would still be another body of mine, made of different sort of particles, existing physically (there is no way to exist nonphysically, physicality is a synonym to existence). But not me.
Ah yes, we should outlaw the ability for people to send money to each other and have civilization take the burden of incompetent corporations that can't be bothered to follow basic infosec practices (let alone whatever product they are selling in the first place is probably garbage and has no value beyond monopoly).
Very cool, but the performance of that core isn't good enough for my nvidia shield. :(
I think you're conflating the user with the publisher here; the user received 0% of the ad revenue in the past. With Brave, the user receives 70% of the ad revenue (the other 30% goes to Brave, which builds and maintains this apparatus).

You're correct that publishers lose revenue when ads are blocked on their sites, but not blocking ads means users are at an increased risk of being abused by malicious third-party actors. This is one of the main issues with ad and content blockers: they keep users safer, but they take revenue from content creators.

Brave is working on a model that reduces fraud, increases rewards for content creators, and rewards users for their attention. This won't be built overnight, let alone over a few short years. That said, we are making tremendous progress, now settling over 8-figures each month for verified content creators.

As Brave matures and develops, more options will become available for users and content creators to earn more.

As for transaction fees when converting BAT, you are correct. There are often transaction fees involved. But those often depend on how much you're moving around, if you're buying or selling, etc. Uphold and Gemini (our other partner in this space) may also differ between each other.

You're right about heavily centralization around Brave too. This is why we're working on THEMIS (https://brave.com/themis/), a protocol for decentralizing the Brave Ads ecosystem. We recently wrapped-up an effort in that space and blogged about progress: https://brave.com/themis-rfcc-wrap-up/.

We don't have stats to share on how many Brave users are self-funding their wallets vs earning with Rewards. That said, the latter category is naturally going to be much, much larger. It is also not an either-or thing either; many people opt-in to Brave Ads and also buy BAT to supplement their attention-based earnings.

I don't think the goal is to get rid of ads entirely, but rather to yield power to the user. Not everybody has disposable income, and therefore many people would prefer to opt-in to privacy-respecting ads, earn rewards for their attention, and support the Web by those means. For those who wish to self-fund, that is possible. They don't need to opt-in to Brave Ads either.
That's like the concession stand for a sports team. It makes them some money, but nothing close to what they'd expect to bring in through a proper ad service.
I actually sit in my dining room table downstairs--like now--for sometimes work. But my Aeron in my office is clearly more comfortable for extended work.

Yup, this is the comment I was looking for.

I've had more impact through planking and thoracic spine stretches than any chair could ever have (your own case will be different, of course)

The goal isn't to be able to sit still for hours on end, that's your body telling you to get up and move. But you should still be able to sit for generally without feeling uncomfortable.

Consulting a physio has been well worth it, just be prepared to invest some time each day in some targetted exercise as that's where the gains are.

In my experience a problem doesn’t need to be well understood, well documented, and straightforward to benefit from TDD.

Rarely are we building something with absolutely no idea what the final outcome should be, are we? There’s a general idea of, “this new feature should mostly work like this” description, correct?

If not, you’re doing code very different than the stuff I build.

And that might be the case! But I’m curious what kind of projects you’re working on where you have basically no idea what you’re aiming for.

Even when I don’t understand what’s wrong, I’ll generally have an idea of either:
* what is undesired behavior to fix, or
* new behavior to add

I can at least play around with the code a little to see how that impacts existing tests, or write some simple test that will demonstrate a really high level desired outcome. As I iterate the functionality, I might see the opportunity for another assertion or three, and then keep iterating on that until I’ve figured out what I truly want, both functionally and test-wise.
I'm about 6 foot tall and in my experience the headrest goes as high as I'd ever want or need it to. It's very adjustable so pretty easy to get comfortable.

It's worth noting that that I have the larger sized Aeron - can't quite remember if the back is taller on those or if they're just wider...
It's easy, just write something not entirely positive about transgenderism.

I'm too unknowledgeable to know, but I consistently get the feeling when I interact with a new programming language that they all fail to encompass everything that a modern system is capable of, or that they provide mechanisms with such high overheads that they're no better, or even worse, than programming languages of yesteryear.

One example of this for me is that you don't need special drivers for making your program run on a CPU; that would sound quite strange to most developers I think.

But many high-end systems have full blown GPUs on them that we basically never use unless they're specifically interfaced with for video purposes, scientific computing, etc.

Even then, you still have to use specific interfaces to access that hardware. It's not intrinsic to the language.

But say I wanted to run some generic routines across CUDA cores/Stream Processors, I have to explicitly move into the realm of GPGPU programming to do that, and then you have to write "compute kernel" code. It's not just... programming. It's fully terminology'd, it's own thing.

There's no standard library for any programming languages that automatically sends your routines to the GPU.

I don't know how all of this should be approached. I've been exposed to all of these systems, but they're all clearly isolated.

All I know is that it doesn't feel right. I fully engage development efforts feeling like I'm not using the full compute power I have available to me, and a part of that I think is that today we just don't think like developers did 50 years ago.

We have so much compute resource available to us, I think in some very fundamental ways--industry wide--we no longer understand how to use these systems. I know I don't.

I'm consistently asking myself why certain operations I write take milliseconds for some reason instead of microseconds. That's tremendously concerning to me.
“Product is fine, it is human civilization that is broken”, huh?
Seconded, although I recommend something much more simple: a standing desk. I stand when I get uncomfortable sitting, I sit when I get uncomfortable standing. And if I start to space out I can go for a walk or run. I'm very lucky to have this convenience.

You don't need a super-expensive desk either, in fact you probably don't need to buy anything. I use the counter-top at my house, you can also get a box or chair to put on your regular desk.
1-1 is also overused and overpraised. Watching a bunch of kids playing it is pretty instructive. They do get it eventually but it’s by no means the simple linear set of steps and outcomes it’s often presented as. People get stuck in the most amusing ways that would be overcome more readily with more direct tutorialisation.
The article makes it sound like after the missed frame, every subsequent frame had the wrong timestamp and was processed wrong, so it sounds like more of a bug. If the subsequent timestamps had the right timestamps, and the calculation was based on delta timestamps, then it would basically basically interpolate over the missing frame and then recover. The fact that every subsequent frame was assumed to be 33ms in the past was the issue here.

I'm all for taking charge of your own health priorities, but don't go too far to the other side of the spectrum. Witness all the "shade tree epidemiologists" that came out of the woodwork last year. One or two Facebook conspiracy videos, and they were suddenly health care experts, confidently spouting off COVID-19 facts they picked up from the YouTube channels of Crystal Energy Lady or Vitality Supplement Guy.

Doing research means actually researching. Not doing a few Google searches and watching YouTube videos that already validate what you feel in your heart.
The server market share shows just how slow that sales channel is & why Intel isn't too panicked whenever AMD overtakes them for a bit (IIRC server sales are a significantly larger share of revenue followed by laptop sales). AMD would need to keep up their advantage for ~5-10 years to make a meaningful dent in replacing those old Intel servers that are still chugging along for now.
The root cause is the blackmailers/thieves committing the crime, not that the crime was easy. Addressing the root cause might include things like improving education and reducing poverty. That in combination with a bam on paying ransoms would likely reduce these crimes.
Smart. That allows them to insert new rows without messing up the ordering.
Just because a company produced a piece of media doesn't mean they have the right to stream that media.
Force and politics are how you get shit done when people's minds are closed to virtue. Another example is the climate: we've had decades to solve the climate crisis voluntarily, and people did relatively nothing. Now it will take drastic measures to prevent the crisis from becoming a catastrophe, and believe me, governments WILL implement these measures to much hemming and hawing from the public, especially Americans. But it will happen because it has to, and the public twiddled their thumbs back when solutions were relatively easy.

Same with software. If you write critical infrastructure and are not actively involved in writing it in a memory-safe manner at the language level, then you are complicit in every hack that involves a buffer overflow, UAF, or other boondoggle inherent to C and C++ programming. C is the internal combustion engine of software: we've known about its dangers for decades but done nothing to fix it, and now the crisis has reached the point of catastrophe and we have to use coercion or shame in order to fix it.
The paper uses a custom memory controller based on SoftMC implemented on an FPGA. The DRAM modules themselves are off-the-shelf. It appears you need precise control over DDR4 command timing that would not be possible with a normal memory controller. So it's hardware-only, though you could imagine adding this feature to memory controllers in the future.
Can confirm. Recently had simple unit tests that almost seemed, on first glance, to indicate, “huh, why are these tests here?”

Upgraded to NodeJS 12 where some details about sorting arrays were changed, and we got 2 failing tests. Before that, I would have bet money that those tests would never fail.
We were completely bootstrapped until a few months ago, when we closed our seed round. Raising capital in the middle of a cryptocurrency bear market is...hard, to say the least.

We basically had to convince an Investors that a) cryptocurrency was growing, b) we were growing, and c) that we were growing faster than cryptocurrency, and it took us a while to nail that pitch and messaging.

I think the key turning point came when Colton and I burned and rebuilt the deck to be a little more fun. We've been best friends and business partners for about 10 years now, and we decided to lean into that in a 'finish each other's sentences' kind of way.
Yes, they are different paradigms.
The article quotes Donovan as disliking the term "attention economy because, she's reported as saying, "That gives far too much agency to the user", but that's not what attention as a resource is about. There was never really a time when discussion around the term implied the users have any agency in determining where to "spend" their attention.

As a commodity, attention is aggregated by targeted suggestions, tuned to manipulate behavior based on the motivations of the individual. Never have "choices" in the attention economy been about giving people control over what they see and "like", but about giving people stories, tweets, videos, blogs, etc that direct their attention by only giving users what they already prefer, not showing them ideas outside their bubble. The only "choice", such as it is, that an individual can make to exercise agency is to decline the invitation.

This is the post of Lowe's that Weinstein et al are claiming is based on "hope" and not scientific facts. You can judge for yourself, but I think Lowe makes a reasonable attempt to engage with evidence in the post and the replies to comments. Shame on them.
This 1000%.

I was an ML engineer, and to me it was far more about data management/cleaning than nitty gritty algorithms improvements, but that's definitely not industry standard.

I've also found "Product Engineer" job listings to range from essentially just a backend engineer to a product designer who codes.
But the ego doesn't have to die, you can be friends, just don't take it serious :-) Experiencing having it dead for some time can help if that's what you seek, but c'mon, if you still are experiencing something - that's the ego, it is tricking you (itself) ;-)

>...theoretical universe where banning crypto is possible...

Money grows on trees, there, too.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that if you made crypto illegal, there's still a whole lot of countries that won't give a shit and the problem will only get worse.

All these situations are nebulous and complicated, something as simple as legally banning crypto is not going to solve the problems.

I had the same need after using for the past 12 years an Ikea Makus at home; it is fine for shot term use, but not for 10-12 hours a day. I recently managed to buy a second hand office chair from a local office that was selling their old chairs; I don't remember the brand, I know that I searched it on Internet and I found nothing, but a few years ago I was using that model of chair for more than 12 hours a day and it was extremely comfortable. The info from the office management guys is that model of chairs is not sold to end-users, only in bulk to companies (minimum order over 50 pcs) and the price was around 600 EUR ($650), that is more than the average net monthly salary in the country.

I heard many people talking about Herman Miller Aeron, but the price is high and availability low here, so for $100 I am happy with my purchase. I definitely don't recommend any Ikea chair, we had several in my family and none is good enough.

Another thing that I saw it works very well with any chair is standing as often as possible; every time I am in a meeting I stand and walk around in my home office while I am talking, while doing desk work I stand and take a walk to grab a tea or water every hour even if I am not thirsty; that minute or two helps.
When I ordered my standing desk I made the mistake of choosing the crank power over electricity power (because I had bad experience of other standing desks' electricity control broke down after a while). As a result my standing desk is more like "a desk I can adjust the perfect height and then leave it there", instead of "a desk I can adjust the height whenever I want".

For that reason, I chose a standing desk chair, Capisco Puls (https://www.fully.com/chairs/for-standing-desks/hag-capisco-...), that I can keep the desk at the same height no matter I'm standing or sitting.

I've been using this chair for more than 2 years now and am still very happy with it.

I propose we send the earth in to the sun instead of away from it. It might be harder, but I think it will be worth the effort.

And I get why (snapshots are wonderful), but opensuse, albeit tumbleweed, is also the only OS I've had lose its root filesystem and force me to reinstall. Some of us distrust btrfs for a reason.

(Details: Corrupted filesystem, happened twice, ~2019 IIRC, on a single disk system so not even touching the RAID code, first time couldn't repair, second some didn't try. Hasn't happened again and wasn't just a checksum error so I doubt that hardware is at fault but could be wrong.)
This is true until you realize all general purpose languages are the same and redundant. There is no reason to have more than one on a given system.
Yes, the reality is a chair is very personal, there's no "one size fits all" no matter how much $$ or how good the warranty, or how available the spare parts.

I think perhaps it's good to temper the enthusiasm of a lot of folks online who seem to be buying Aeron sight unseen -- there's a lot of chairs out there, and people come in a lot of different shapes and sizes.
Server replacement rate is actually fairly high in the industry (5 years at most and usually less than 4 for tech oriented companies last time I read an industry report). The main problem is you can't buy AMD based servers. They are completely unavailable, even to hyperscalers judging from the graphs. The only reason Intel is keeping the lead is because they can actually fulfill the demand.
And easier to monitor and track all aspects of a person privacy such as precise location, altitude, Wifi ID, device type and characteristics, screen size, and so on.
I stand. I gave up on sitting years ago. It takes some time to adjust, but I do everything standing. Occasionally I'll go lie down for a few minutes, or take a walk.
It’s not a safety issue like car regulation, engineering choices have costs.

Just because it doesn’t work in your environment doesn’t mean that it’s not suitable elsewhere and the burden of spec changes for your climate may make the cost go up for people elsewhere who don’t have the same requirements
Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you mean to use the different objects in it. Not the specifics of browsing the files/folders. Yes, I agree then.
My biggest regret was selling a perfect Chrome Aeron chair when I went to Japan, that thing was perfect to sit in and beautiful.
Same. I want it to tell me "take Rengstorff Ave exit" and it just tells me "take exit 53b." I have no idea what 53b is and the big signs don't say it either.
> The most common complain with the Aeron is that the frame pushes too hard on the back of the thighs

Yeah I'd read that concern prior to buying it to but like you I've had zero issues with that thankfully. Not to say that it might not be genuine concern for some body shapes/sizes...
Interesting. What phone operates at 0F? A few years ago I was in 15F conditions, the batteries in both my phone and my hiking partner's phone would not work at all. Going out briefly in 0F weather and pulling the phone out of the pocket of a warm jacket might be fine, but I'm doubtful a phone could continue to function when thoroughly cooled to 0F. If there's been a recent shift in phone technology, then I'd like to know more.
