Check the pictures of where your gas is cracked from crude oil, or of the farming methods used for your meat consumption, or the trees and forests cut down for banana, soy and palm oil plantations.

Mass production never looks sustainable when framed in isolation, but in comparison to the alternative of fracking in tar sands and leaking methane by the galleon those mines aren't so bad.

Your video also misses the point. Firstly, the mix of where that power comes from will depend on where you live. In places where the grid is dirty, of course it's going to be dirty. In other places there are ample amounts of renewables available at many times to be used. There's also the fact that changing the mix of the source of the power is much much easier than getting people to change vehicles. If solar becomes massively widespread on the grid, everyone with an EV immediately benefits from it. If a new ICE is produced then it's not until the old ones are out of circulation that the gains can happen
Buddhism is not a religion per se. I’m sure there are cults around it, but as Dalai Lama put it: if science shows Buddhism to be wrong, then Buddhism must change. Good luck finding that sentiment in any actual religion.

If you require more proof, make it a priority to seek understanding of ”Buddha-nature”.
This is key. Meditation is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health of any sort.

I as an open source author absolutely do not want Microsoft to get richer from using my code, code that I contributed or published for the benefits of other developers.

> It also reminds me however that my meditation practice is infinitely shallower than what people suffering negative consequences describe.

Actually, the author describe people having similar negative experiences just from dabbling with meditation apps, so the catalyst is not necessarily a 14-day silent retreat, but rather something more intangible, in which case it could happen to anyone, really
>Many things that are worth doing and give meaning to life are not safe.

That sounds wrong to me, meditation is supposed to destroy all meanings of life, not to give anything. Also doing or not doing anything at all is not safe. There is no safety - once we are alive we will die.
Lets merge all soccer clubs into one, then there will no longer be a need for matches since one club just has all the players they don't even need to be the best.

Nationalism is a very recent affair, the idea that people and not just the nobility have nations is a 19 century concept.
So to your mind this can all be neatly dismissed as "doing it wrong"?

The guy in the article was a teacher himself, not someone just casually dabbling, and mentions that the people studying the negative effects are encountering trainers and teachers more often than casual meditators.
Definitely, there's more than one way to get to a different state of mind.

Christian religions for example set a certain stage, create an atmosphere that puts people in a shared mental state. Meditative, perhaps. I can see (although never experienced myself) how that, if you let it "in", can lead to a "religious experience" / awakening of sorts.

Worst one was that one time I was in an American evangelical church, the type where there's lots of music and the like. But also weird behaviour; during the sermon, lots of people around me had their hand up and were whispering "jesus", it was eerie as fuck to be honest. That line of churches does a lot with altering brain states though, one article I read mentioned measuring brain waves and seeing them enter an "alpha" state, similar to hypnosis and making people very susceptive to suggestions. Another example is exorcisms, where people go - let themselves go? - into a state of dissociation, speaking in tongues and spasming. I kinda see that as letting their own inhibitions go and letting the impulses take over.

TL;DR not a scientist, just armchair theorizing and waffling.
However you did give them permission to use your code by the fact that you acceded to their terms and conditions[1] when you created an account. IANAL, I don't know if this section would hold to scrutiny in a court of law, but I'm pretty sure this is what their legal team considers to cover them when it comes to training Copilot on code hosted with them.

Google actually did do Copilot for Gmail. Nobody noticed though.
We don't really have the language to discuss the subtle emotional states involved when experience turns uncomfortable. Music with movement is better at communicating it.

People are going to keep poking around in their minds and finding things that disturb them. There is a lot to be said for learning to stay with the difficult things, if you can not yet afford yourself faith.
And if one does, one may end up with mental health problems.

Afaik Orban's party has won the last rounds of elections pretty conclusively, with no fraud allegations involved (unlike what currently happens in the US, I'm talking about election fraud allegations). What's with this "Belorussian-style regime" nonsense?
I agree with your conclusion.

I'd go a step further and state there is no such thing as a bad trip. There are just situations where loss go of control can result in the surfacing of things that are unresolved... and unpleasant. No one has a bad trip without the latter.

Another reason why psychedelics should come with clear warning labels that describe bad outcomes for specific situations.

Ha! I thought it might have been vipassana. My own experience of this (a 10 day silent retreat, not having done meditation before) was a full blown manic-psychotic experience (never having had any such thing before, nor in family history). If you're interested, I made some audio files [0] talking about what happened.

I honestly think it's _insane_ that they (vipassana) will take regular people who haven't done meditation and allow them to do a 10 day silent retreat. I honestly think it's like taking a regular person and allowing them to go down a grade 4 or 5 river. They might make it, but they might get seriously hurt too.

I actually raised this point with the local (New Zealand) health and disability ombudsman. I said that vipassana ought to have a psychologist to assess people as they left, or at least _something_ like that. Nothing changed as far as I am aware.

I hope the author continues to get better. It was a long journey for me.

Overall the EU has about the same number of procedures open against Germany as they do against Poland, both are pretty high on the list Germany is #5 Poland is #4.
Mainly because the raspberry 4 is the most powerful and cheapest (2Gflops/W CPU for ~$45) device that has less than 10W total consumption and has a GPU that does not clutter that power draw too much (~1W).

This means it's the ideal low power server device for home hosting with lead-acid backup if you can get 1Gb/s up+down fiber!

Unless you need quality disk, then you should probably look elsewhere too, but a 1TB SanDisc SD card har pretty low power draw; atleast it has got that working for it.

But you need better ergonomics than this, sealing it is a sure way to overheating.

I'm working on the final design of my raspberry cluster:

Definitely, to the point where in addition to getting a stipend to go to the gym from a previous employer, they offered to pay for a mindfulness / meditation assistance app.

I mean they could also reduce the pressure to perform and to be on top of everything a bit. I get that enthusiasm is contagious and FOMO is a real problem in tech, but the company should have done more to slow people right the fuck down.
No your logic was it's not possible to have a country with so much diversity. I just showed a counter example.
It appears to be a combination of two issues:

- "Videos of FSD beta 9 in action don’t show a system that makes driving safer or even less stressful"

- "Tesla should at the very least be monitoring drivers in real time to ensure that they’re paying attention while using new software"
That sounds like a true general AI, not like a chatbot from FB or Apple ;)
This is great. I had this problem of running Tensorflow from ssh and sometimes you just want to take a quick look at the plots without Tensorboard setup and whatnot. Thanks!
Have a higher evidentiary threshold when it comes to results that contradict common-sense, or that suggest changing your current behaviour? Of course sometimes counterintuitive results turn out to be real, but most the time the "follow the science" people are getting prematurely excited.

> is an institution not a group of people as well? People with consciences, moralities and other human emotions?

Yes, but the point being made is that in the case of organizations the whole doesn't necessarily have the properties of its constituent parts.

> If not, what's the difference to any other organisation such as, in an absolute extreme form, an army or a "terror"group apart from the agenda.

Not sure what you mean by this. Difference from what to any other organization and why that relevant?

You find immoral, illegal, etc. activity in institutions/organizations across a broad spectrum of areas.
Even if you were to abolish the national governments you would still need a local government that can always be at odds with the central government, right?

But if you abolish these local governments as well, then you're basically imposing central diktats on a population, correct?

How do you resolve the dichotomy?
These sorts of things have been dealt with for centuries by Buddhists, it’s a fairly common effect when you start with Zazen. This is why taking one part of the practice and abandoning the rest (most specifically, an experienced teacher) isn’t a great idea for everyone. Most of the time all you need to hear is “just let whatever comes up during Zazen go, and return to the moment” but alas, if you don’t things can go a bit wrong.

I don’t think it’s actively harmful, but the “mindfulness industry” is full of charlatans and poor advice, and it does make me rather sad that it’s being monetised in such a way.

Just sit.
> their nation over larger groups of human beings who are just like them.

Because when the going gets really tough that abstract "human being" from across the Continent won't care at all about you, while at the same time the person geographically closer to you and who might belong to the same nation might prove to be a better ally. Just think of the Greece crisis of 2012 when the "human beings" from The Netherlands were generally just assholes to their fellow human beings who happened to live in Athens or in Thessaloniki.
Heh, a very similar thing happened to me actually, and while I agree about the fist-fight comment, I honestly didn't have any childhood trauma. Came from a loving, pretty privileged family, but I still went off the rails with a 10 day silent retreat!

It's extremely easy to dismiss people like this, but, have a care, there are real people on the other end of your dismissive comments.
This doesn't match my experience. Professionals can help you only to the extent they understand themselves. Do they understand nature of consciousness, mind, thought? Most likely they do not. Meditation is supposed to bring one to the state where you get control over those things and if it happens there is no question of mental issues for this person anymore.

It's one option to resolve fine tuning. It seems extraordinarily unlikely that the there is only one universe and that universe just happened by random chance to have "interesting" laws of physics that are capable of chemistry.

Either the universe is one of a large number of potential universes (anthropic principle + multiverse), or the laws of physics were designed or selected to be "interesting".

It's not a falsifiable question at our current level of understanding of the universe, but it is clearly a question that has an answer even if we can't know it.
Outside the HN bubble, that is actually a pretty good salary. Median personal income is about $36000.
Isn’t it all just a question of what scale is the “best”? I agree with your premise but in practice, determining the best policies on trade - much less issues like education and poverty - on a smaller scale is much more tractable than thinking in terms of ever larger subsets of the human race. We should be just as saddened by civilians dying in Iraq as the US, but that doesn’t mean we know what’s best for them in terms of any of the above. Any grouping of people advocating for themselves ultimately needs an organizing body, and the cycle of tribalism continues.
Show HN: Highlight all “1 point” news

There are a number of benefits, one that comes immediately to mind is having a common army and saving costs. Another one is that having a common currency, but not a common fiscal policy is not a good idea.

I don't think language differences are a problem. There are a couple of nations with multiple official languages.
People are tribal by nature. They will get into fights because their neighbour supports the "wrong" sports club, and you can extend that up to any level. Within a country there's city vs city, city vs countryside, and above country level there's EU vs US, or "the west" vs "the east".

People group together with others that share certain cultural values. Ever since borders, passports and standard languages have been the norm, this has only been reinforced.

I don't feel culturally similar to many other European countries, most notable Hungary, Poland and some other countries that have been sliding towards the far right. I wouldn't want the people who voted Orban into power to outvote me, either.

Grand unification of humanity is a good ideal, one we should work towards, but it's not something that will be possible within our lifetimes. There are very practical reasons against the North American Alliance; for example, Canada has socialised healthcare, while you can't even get the suggestion off the ground in the US. Such political differences don't just disappear.

I don't want a European superstate because I disagree with most people that would live in it. My ideals would no longer be represented by my government. I think that's enough reason not to go for complete European unification. Opinions can change, so maybe some day we can all agree, but with Hungary fighting the free press and its people cheering Orban on, I can't say I expect this situation to change any time soon.
Think for a moment about the incentives. We are no longer making ”science” where animals are suffocated by forcing them to inhale smoke for extended periods just to make the results look like marijuana causes brain damage.

These kinds of studies were typically funded by government or public anti-drug entities like NIDA and DARE.

> "You could run a serviceable Linux console on 4MB RAM back then. X11 was also doable [..]"

This was my setup for a considerable amount of time. Even though it is hard to believe in our fast paced times it must have been for several years.

The 386DX with 4 MiB was my first Linux machine and my first PC for that matter. 4 MiB was not enough to even run the Slackware installer, so you had to partition and mkswap manually from the command line before you could run it.

Apart from that it was a pretty workable machine for those days standards.
I used it from the console most of the time, but X11 worked, even if it was slow as molasses, as you said. I remember running GNU chess. While you could play from the command line it was one of the apps where the GUI was really helpful.

Good times!
The article is hysterical clickbait nonsense and loaded with some very basic misunderstandings—seemingly including a fundamental confusion about what "beta" means. Even the headline is flat out false, because the FSD beta software contains numerous "safeguards".

Tesla has deployed this beta software to just 1000 customers who have demonstrated competence and level-headedness. The drivers are required to keep their hands on the wheel, the same as with the adaptive cruise / lane centering features available on many new cars.
I need to come up with a snappy name for this, but I judge progress of things by the level of complaints. It seems the media isn't really set up to say, "yeah on balance this is probably better (or soon to become so) on average" as that's not attention grabbing.

However, imagine finding yourself in some unlikely time travel event and seeing a headline from 5 or 10 years in the future and it's talking about how a car that drives itself brushed against some bushes as the major complaint.

There were thin provisions against member states getting out of hand, but they became useless the second Poland conspired with Hungary.

Money and time. Throughout my career, there's never been a moment where we're like "All right, let's sit down and assess where we are", or a "Ok we're finished with software engineering, let's do some chaos testing". There's always something that seems more important to do.

I'm now convinced most people are overworked and most SWE projects are overcommitting. I mean I'm currently the sole responsible for two codebases of nearly 300K LOC total, rebuilding the one into the other. At my previous jobs this would involve a fully staffed team of 4+ engineers, tester, product owner, etc - and they could probably use more.
Apparently this is a well-established memorization technique. Pretty interesting if you figured this out independently!

I have also heard that this same technique might be the basis for at least some myths and other sacred stories, wherein a myth arises as a mnemonic for something important like an agricultural cycle or migration path.

Did they actually use those words? As far as I remember they convicted Monsanto mostly on messing with the "independent" studies that should have confirmed their weed killers safety, using various "friends" in key positions to shut down any study that went out of line before it could go anywhere. All documented in an internal email chain discussing various means in great detail.

Science went out of the window the moment Monsanto started to actively taint the research through political means.
