The fact that any state in which no fmri signal is present coincides 100% with a mind not being present is conclusive enough.

Remove the neocortex and the mind is gone. Almost all of the rest of the brain's biology is optional to the phenomenon of mind, except in their respective roles of supporting the neocortex.

Neuroscience can't really experiment the same way as other disciplines, but they can study injury and deformity and so-called lower animals, and some of the science is definitive. Unless you demand something metaphysical or spiritual or magical be involved in the human mind, in which case, why are you bothering with science at all?

There is no magic. We are neurons relaying a dance of fascinating electrical patterns back and forth, somehow resulting in the construct of our subjective experiences.

We have an answer to the question of the mechanics of consciousness. We don't have the algorithm yet, but we're making exponential progress in that direction as microscopy and biology increase the resolution of neural connectomes.

The brain, specifically the neocortex, contains the mind, and there's no good reasons to assume otherwise.
What I imagined is this is a very significant part of how FB is used and I don’t think the person who uses it this way misrepresented it. Also based on my personal and lived experience but, I don’t think it’s an outlier. Rescues and pet loving communities use FB very effectively.

The app/product is terrible but this is one of the places where thats not the case
Out in the sticks of Arkansas, my iPhone 12 popped up a 5G signal a few days ago. Have no idea where that tower could possibly be. Going to be sending the drone to scout it soon. Were on Verizon, but have switched to Ting, which does use Verizon towers. Could they be showing 4G services as 5G?
Wow I love this concept!!!

I scrolled down to my favorite show and I see you have threads for each episode. Thats exactly how I hoped you would have it organized.

An interesting direction to go with this might be to integrate it with something like Plex or Jellyfin via plugin so that you could see top reddit comments per episode or something like that.

Really cool project. Thanks for sharing.
Parent poster is possibly from a generation which has been taught that asking questions is an offense, so I will forgive them for responding with hostility.

I am curious what other people feel about the issue of "nativeness". As a European American I obviously am interested in understanding how the world views the rights my children might have to the land in which they will be born. Is there a time limit for when an occupier or invader becomes a native? The question of whether or not Ancient Egypt belongs in some way to modern Egypt(the government or its people) is perhaps less politically sensitive than asking whether myself, my people or my government bear some connection to the culture of ancient North Americans.

It is a relevant question I believe. One could ask how such issues relate to other cultures around the world. As the descendants of conquerors, I am compelled by circumstances to believe "might makes right" or else I would have to consider returning to the land to which I have ancient connections.

I understand this is a sensitive question and likely to trigger folks who believe I am trying to lay a rhetorical trap or secretly push some right or left wing agenda but I am simply trying to think through what I believe to be right.

Metabolism being consistent over age is not the same as metabolism being consistent between people. To the best of my knowledge, there are huge differences in the metabolism of people, and studies have already shown some ability to have (through medical intervention) people to more closely match another's metabolism.
Maybe. Based on my experiments with lambda I doubt they have enough CPU to deal with the additional space. At the current size it's bumping against the limits of lambda as is. Might be possible to switch to something like C++/Rust/C/Zig however to help with this.
Agreed - the solution to vendor lock-in should be getting out as fast as possible, not buying into it further.

My 2000 Audi has an indicator light that comes on if one of the stop lamps is not working.

It would be nice if this was a standard feature in every car. Trying to determine whether the lights in the tail lamp cluster are all working without some assistance is difficult at best.
Yeah, I’ve been quite happy with T-Mobile as my personal carrier for the last 7 years or so. Up until recently I had an AT&T phone for work, but the new company is T-Mobile. I’m on the road a lot didn’t realize how much I took for granted with AT&T tethering speeds. Even in greater LA area, the tethering seems markedly worse with T-Mobile (N=1).
Are you saying Inter-team coms in a large organization should be discouraged? Apologies if I misunderstood your post.
Nah.. only AT&T does that :P
How are you using Plex? Try access the UI via a different browser, or via the dedicated Plex app. Try a few different ones. Personally I use Safari and find I can scroll through my library much faster then the App, or in Chrome. I can also seek pretty quick, even 4k remux files.
This is on an all gigabit network. (though client WiFi AC works great too).

But transcoding and trying to seek... isn't the best. At least for my macmini plex server.
So,...there is really no 'scientific' excuse anymore covering physical lazyness?
It's just that one prefers to stay in bed, couch, status quo?

Damn.
I don't think it's that simple. There's a lot involved in switch carriers, and it's worth taking the time to cool down from the initial frustration and evaluate your options more objectively.
I love Jellyfin. The clients aren't super mature, but the addon for Kodi works great for me so that's what I use.

The only thing I missed about Plex was having Plexamp, but now there is Finamp and Gelli for Android and I wrote one called Jellyamp for desktop and now all my media needs are covered
I switched to Ting recently at a co-workers suggestion after switching to Mint (total nightmare). It's been cheap and great, and they use Verizon towers. I have no affiliation, just a happy customer.
Great discussion here already. I want to bring attention to a bit of additional research relevant here which I found to be a good read and was conveniently not mentioned by Facebook: a 10 year, 500 participant longitudinal study on social media use and suicide in teens. Published Feb 2021.

Even if we take fb word for it that the WSJ's interpretation of data from fbs study was not generous, I would like them to respond to the critical external research too. Fbs study has 40 participants who were directly asked their opinion about the causality of using Instagram and their well-being (no chance that a harmful addiction would be coloring their perception on that!). So, let's look at the longitudinal data also, fb.

If “it doesn’t last more than a day or two”, then I feel like what you’re describing isn’t the same level of burnout being discussed in the article; you’re noticing it and dealing with it before it spirals out of control. Which is a good thing! (and a life skill I wish I had learned much earlier in my life!)

But I’ve gone into that burnout spiral twice in my life; the most recent time (the worse one) was over a decade ago. That burnout was the result of nine continuous months spent in intense crunch on a project I hated but couldn’t leave, along with some other ongoing stressors.

After shipping that project, it took me more than two months of time completely off work before I even started to feel like I was a human again. And then two more months before I started to feel like I wanted to start doing work again. I was absurdly fortunate that I had enough long service leave saved up to afford to take the time I needed. (or alternately, the fact that I had all of that available time off which I hadn’t taken maybe wasn’t the best thing for my chances at avoiding burning out in the first place. That’s a totally valid alternate take on the situation!)

I do agree with your comment that burnout isn’t a “final state”; it’s something that most folks will recover from, given enough time, and it typically gets worse the longer you don’t deal with whatever’s triggering it.

For me, when I was in the middle of the burnout it didn’t feel like a thing I would ever recover from; I just wanted to be left alone in an empty room all day every day and never have to talk to anyone or think about anything ever again. And eventually my brain came back to me and I came out of the burnout. It took a long time, though.

Very cool and very detailed write up!
Our current static approach follows the bulk of public policy analysis, but we do plan to add dynamic responses. For example, https://compute.studio/PSLmodels/Tax-Brain which supports "partial equilibrium" which adjusts earnings based on user-provided labor supply elasticities. https://compute.studio/PSLmodels/OG-USA performs general equilibrium analysis, which also considers feedback loops labor and capital over decades, though it takes several hours to solve. (We've contributed to both of these open-source projects.)

These labor supply elasticities and other parameter values are debated (especially when it comes to deficits and corporate taxes), so we're starting with the less controversial results while also describing changes to labor incentives through the marginal tax rate charts.
This is a fair point, though I'd say my main concern is that "confusing the map for the territory" seems to be the status quo with these types of things.

As an example of this with Myers-Briggs: I think your MBTI can be helpful if you think of it as "these are the patterns of behavior I naturally fall into, I should try harder to be aware of and use patterns outside my comfort zone in situations where that might be more productive than my default".

However, 9 times out of 10 when I actually meet someone who brings up their MBTI in conversation, the way they think about it is more like "I'm an INTJ, X just isn't something I do", where X is something they probably should do but are avoiding because their MBTI is giving them a pass (in their mind).

So on balance I feel that "maps" like this do more harm than good, because our human instinct when given such a map is to point to it and say "this bit of territory looks scary so I'm gonna avoid it".
I have used t mobile for like a decade. They’re a better carrier, but I have had terrible experiences in their stores before too. You’re at the mercy of randoms working retail.

The best experience is no experience. Just buy your phone directly from Apple and perform the SIM swap yourself.

Apple’s stores are worse than the ATT situation in this article. For most of COVID you literally could not walk in and get added to a waiting list, you had to make an appointment. And each store had rude security guards shooing people away. It might actually still be like that.

It sounds like he got lucky and had a positive experience with one person but that doesn’t scale at all.
Good with 3-6 people who are prepared, ie. what are the designs/requests/requirements. Many times PM thinks its a small feature or vice versa when all engineers give a big/small estimate; they get a reality check, same can be said about backend and frontend. And it is good to discuss different PoV between the numbers.
I don't think you necessarily need the poker meeting part if you are able to prepare, discuss, estimate with other means; but if you have team members not able to put the time in for whatever reason it can be good to put some scheduled time in for it.
ha! good job guys!
I think the proliferation of daytime running lights is partly to blame here, because you still get some light out of the front even without headlights on.

The thing that always gets me is switching between (rental) cars that have automatic headlight sensors and those that don't.
I don't think I have a downvote button. You said "path of destruction". That's the speculation based on current popular opinion. Had you been saying this 50 years ago, you would have chosen whatever the popular path of destruction at that time was instead, having no awareness of climate change.
Ironically, I just switched away from TMobile to AT&T due to the recent data breach.
Retiring early is risky. Due to market volatility the safe withdrawal / drawdown rate is lower the longer you need your pot to last, and the impact of miscalculating your expenses worse the lower that rate becomes.

Underestimate your annual expenses by $10K on a 5% SWR? Ok you need a pot of $200K more. At 3%? $333K more. 2%? $500K.

With interest rates in a 700 year downward trend, and yields dropping across all asset classes, you should NOT assume, as a software engineer, that you will be able to retire in your 50s.

Still, of that's something that appeals, start saving and investing, otherwise the chance is literally 0.

That's too strict of a definition, in my opinion, and I don't understand how conditioning is related to the crying baby example. Intuition can produce incorrect judgments and doesn't need the person to be clueless. Here's a dictionary definition:

So many companies seem to make it their business model to manipulate laws and the market to force you to stay with them instead of trying to do a good job so that you want to stay with them.

It can't cheaper or easier to do the former, so I suspect it's due to a sort of pervasive psycopathy.
It will also completely delete any local assets if you're using NFS and a mount disappears during a scan. This has happened to me a few times, very frustrating.
That is not a safe assumption if you're a bicyclist or pedestrian at night, especially if the area is well-lit with cool light (such as white LEDs) that share a general color with headlights.

I’ve had T-Mobile for over 10 years in the SF Bay Area and can confirm T-Mobile is actually decent to deal with and service was good. I recently had to switch service to AT&T because they’re the only one with a service tower near my house in Marin. The AT&T employees were a PITA to deal with when getting a SIM so I just ended up ordering one on Amazon for a couple bucks and activated it via phone.

“CIA did not inform Congress of all allegations or information it received indicating that Contra-related organizations or individuals were involved in drug trafficking,” the inspector general’s report found. “During the period in which the FY 1987 statutory prohibition was in effect, for example, no information has been found to indicate that CIA informed Congress of eight of the ten Contra-related individuals concerning whom CIA had received drug trafficking allegations or information.”

This complicity of the CIA in drug trafficking is at the heart of Webb’s explosive expose — a point Webb makes himself in archival interview footage that appears in Levin’s documentary.

“It’s not a situation where the government or the CIA sat down and said, ‘Okay, let’s invent crack, let’s sell it in black neighborhoods, let’s decimate black America,’” Webb says. “It was a situation where, ‘We need money for a covert operation, the quickest way to raise it is sell cocaine, you guys go sell it somewhere, we don’t want to know anything about it.’”

I am tired of dealing with cellphone services providers. I treat them as such, a service company. I buy my phones from directly from apple, never from ATT. I simply pay my monthly bill and when I upgrade, I hustle to have the "activation fee" waived. I have 6 lines under my plan, they usually give in. Maybe I should start looking into Business account like someone else mentioned here.
Ting will be using ATT soon as part of the Dish deal.
Some employers will structure these as double trigger RSUs that do not vest until a date passes + a liquidity event occurs to avoid this.
When you upgrade an iOS version you can only proceed after an Apple signing server approves that version of iOS for your devices unique hardware identifier. When their server stops signing an iOS version everyone is locked out of installing it.

In the jailbreaking world you can save these signatures allowing you to install that iOS version later at your leisure.

That said, Apple appears to still be signing iOS 14.8. You can check the signing status here: https://ipsw.me/iPhone12,3

I feel this so much. But I can’t take a sabbatical - I have to pay bills.

I basically work everyday and tell myself “just one more hour and then I’ll take off the rest of the day”. I do that every hour until I get as close to 5 as possible.

I’ve been like this for over a year. This is my life. I try not to think about it.
And you'd also like that healthcare be free, and affordable.

Keep going - what else would you like to have?
Hope not. I'll have to drop them if so, as ATT has no service where I am. I was told Ting operates off of either one, and you can choose.
