I took this fall off to build a 1500 sqft garden so I have some direct perspective here..

Frankly, it's a nice break. We spend most of our lives in the ethereal, the abstract, and where we often thrive on guess and check without physical consequences/limitations to what we do. Building my garden required measuring, digging holes, cutting lumber, unburying issues (literally), adapting to mistakes, and all of my ideas turning from paper to reality over a span of weeks.. many weeks.

It exercised a different part of my brain, taught me a bunch of new skills, gave me some perspective, and was completely exhausting, but it's AMAZING to look out the window and see it there ready to go for the spring.

I documented my work here:

> "It's not safe to use web3 unless you're comfortable analyzing decompiled source code" is a super good sign for the future of the ecosystem.

Plenty of people don't de-compile or read the source, don't engage with random tokens credited to their address, and the ecosystem around using "smart" contracts has grown since 2015. Not my problem if people want to use/trust something else (others audits for example) without putting in any work to learn/observe themselves and engage with random stuff. That's their problem, not mine. Some learn better after going through school of hard knocks anyways.

As a society, we have expected more and more people to learn how to read and write for basic literacy over hundreds of years. Those who know how to read and write code will have a leg up for that expanding literacy set for engaging with digital things and those who don't will be left behind esp as more aspects of life are governed/mediated through code and this goes beyond the whatever is being branded as "web3".

If you don't wanna use it, you are free not to (unless in the case someone hacks your devices from across the world, you don't engage in backups, and the only way to unlock it is to buy some tokens to pay them off; then its just hard choices to make).
Yes. People talk about addiction to social media or other attention-farming software, but not many people really take it seriously. People think they are unicorns and while some can get addicted or manipulated-- they think "not me. I am too savvy." As long this issue just keeps getting shrugged off as a new version of tv-is-bad hysteria 'media' companies will keep making their dollars and enslaving the minds of the the unwitting willing.
I am not kidding. I work in the AI industry and I'd go so far as so say that less than half of deployed AI is properly tuned and not overfit. Tons of companies rushed to market half-baked "AI" solutions built by the cheapest "data scientist" they could find.

Just because it's corporate snake-oil doesn't mean it isn't snake oil.
ahh, ok, then I can agree to some extent, altough I think the problem with product visibility and chain acceptance will make it more centralized in the long term.

I haven't read that, will look into. For me it's a Saturday, around 10-4. I think it's more about the calm you mention rather than rhythm of day.
This seems reasonable as our brains build a model of the world we perceive as opposed to observing it (the external “model”) directly through vision. It’s like streaming!
There is only one outcome because what you decide is deterministic. The experience of making a decision creates the illusion of free will.

Depending on where you live, you may already be there. It's the downside of the future not being equally distributed, you also get the downsides of that future early.

It's heading, altitude, and speed. For example, if you're currently accelerating to a target speed and climbing to a target altitude, it won't command you to pitch up so much that you stop accelerating.

The autopilot follows the flight director, and the flight director is dumb.

As a parent with a 3 and 4 year old who was only a functional adult if I worked out intensely at least 4 days per week, and now is struggling desperately to get that back, its not by choice. Children are just really demanding. I think a big part of the problem is that humans were not meant to raise children in isolated family units. You were meant to have a small village where they could go bother different adults and older children and learn from everyone to find a little niche for them, and everyone just kind of kept an eye on the kids so that the parents could do normal survival things like cook, work, and make.

> I don't about other block chains but that's a problem that Monero has (partially?) solved by tying transactions to two other wallets each transaction so that it is hard to follow your steps.

I would be very hesitant to recommend that to anyone who lives under an authoritarian regime rather than casually giving you plausible deniability for buying weird porn. Large scale analysis of the entire network will see through noise and I would especially question that being at all effective in an environment where clients are frequently compromised. If you have to worry about serious consequences cash is a lot less risky if for no reason other than that there’s no possible way to retroactively trace an old transaction.
This is exactly why nuclear needs to be the solution. Solar and wind will always need gas to provide reliable power.
That seems an odd choice indeed, because even if you do have different normalizations in differnet parts of the system, you don't need to keep multiple copies -- you just need to apply the right normalization in the right place. All of the unicode normalization algorithms are both idempotent and of course completely deterministic. If you apply NFD to any legal input, you get the same thing every time -- there's no need to store the NFC version separately to compare it to NFC input when all you have is NFD otherwise, you can just normalize the input to NFD to compare it to what you have!

Unless it was meant to be for performance?
I'm glad it's helpful!

I thought I'd drop it in because I did have the 'oh my god, other people aren't the problem, I'm just an arrogant asshole!' moment in my 20s, but assuming my intellect was a non-factor in my ability to connect with others had its own problems. I corrected too far in the other direction ("stop thinking you're special/smarter than everyone else, that's just your arrogance talking") and it made me depressed because when I disagreed with most people around me/wanted different things, I assumed it was because I was the problem (as opposed to others).

It turns out none of us are a problem. We're just different.
There would be then an actual chance to fix them though :)
> One thing that sometimes helps me with interruptions is using 5-10 seconds. That is, when someone comes I just ask for 10 seconds, I make a gesture or simply say "10 seconds" or whatever, and then proceed to sort of "unload". I write down the precise point I am at and the exact upcoming action I was going to take.

This is what I do, as well.

Interruptions used to frustrate me to no end. I found it very rude to be interrupted, especially when I was so obviously busy with my very important things.

Now I have 3 children under 3 years of age. Interruptions are the name of this game. And I've come to realize that the work or whatever really isn't that damned important, either.

So, as long as there isn't an emergency, I acknowledge the person/people doing the interrupting and then take notes in a pocket notebook.
The "occasional captured lectures" are still pretty strong. Off the top of my head, here are two lectures:

You may tell me I'm cheating by posting videos that are obviously not "native" to YouTube, but YouTube was the way I found them, how I watch them, and how I share them with other people.

OK, so YouTube-native videos are hard mode. Try https://youtu.be/WHASYE2e5Xo I suppose? I like it. It has life lessons I'd argue are at least as valuable as the videos you're thinking about.
I think this is the true root of my pondering. I don't know quite yet what direction to point myself in.
One form this takes is that people with some regularity claim that 'all this advertising doesn't work on them' while having an iPhone, ridiculously over-priced in ear headphones, designer clothes with large logos on them and shoes with very visible branding.

Advertising works, on everybody. The only way to get to a level playing field is to filter it out of your life as much as possible. The only thing I haven't found a solution for is billboards and radios and TVs playing in places that I have no control over.
thanks for posting it James :)
I am looking to build an open road accident database and related API for India. Road accident/crash is huge problem in India and there is no open dataset available for realtime or historical crash data.

We would start by creating a web scrapper for news site to scrap crash related data and provide a searchable interface to query this data. This dataset can be used to provide realtime notifications for risky roads etc.

We can brainstorm on various ideas related to this problem. You can contact me, my email is in my profile.

We “tolerate” it insofar that drunk driving does not chronically overwhelm our healthcare system.
Labor organizing is largely being driven by left-wing populism in the face of unrelenting corporate ghoulishness from the Democratic Party. Once the right went hard populist it became the meta because business interests fled to the other side and pissed them off too. And historically, high levels of populism in politics usually ends up in authoritarianism. I’m actually very sympathetic to left wing populist positions; but at the same time it’s very easy for charlatans to prey on.

This 100x! I am in the same boat, ours are 4 and 2. I recently installed rings and a super sturdy pull up bar next to the kids room and hope to do some basic calisthenics there with the kids before putting them to bed. Wish me luck. So far they really like it and I get at least a mini-workout out of it. Nothing like an hour at a real gym, but better than nothing.
What foods do you eat throughout the day?
I tend to write everything in a TODO list. I use the one from Office 365. In the morning, after checking my mail, I select 2-3 items of this list that I target to be done this day. After an interruption, if I lost my saved PC, I check those items and usually I find my thread back.

[edit] Since a year I am in a position where I just have to assume I will be interrupted (not developer). So I just try to cope with it.
Not every type pays it’s way, but the distinction between N and Z is well worn and useful. N measures the size of things while Z is a little more abstract. I think u64 can quickly convey a powerful intent.
The Boeing 777 (the plane in this incident) does have an integrated electronic checklist, which can automatically tick off items that are already completed, but the pilots still have to actually use it.

Nothing can help you when you refuse to operate the plane correctly.
Depends on the dialect, “toss me the f*ing salt, would ya” is also acceptable.

(edit: but after writing this I note that ‘would ya’ is a contraction of ‘would you kindly’, so maybe I have defeated my own point)
Respectfully, these examples- radio and TV aren't even in the same league as the manipulation and engagement that comes from the algorithmic feedback loop that backs these services. The comparison is dangerously dismissive.

Depends on the state. States like Florida and Texas did not expand Medicaid, so if you make under the minimum for ACA subsidies, your choice is pay full price ACA or nothing.

Yes. I still think Small Basic is a good solution.
How much does pain weigh if the one experiencing it is a subject which cannot recognize its own suffering?

I’m not of the wise yet, that’s why I work on cars instead :)

It gives me a sense of completion amongst all the chaos, the never ending deadlines, numbers, algorithms all of that. I also find a sense of pause and rewinding when I work on cars whereas doing anything even remotely close to the office, be it reading a nice book. Still gives me some anxiety, so the change of location (especially now) is really nice.

Plus, I’ve noticed that when I work with my hands, I get less issues related to pain in my hands/wrists. It kind of acts as a workout for my fine motor skills, that would otherwise atrophy if I’m only typing or doing less strenuous work.

I'd say "choice" in the conventional sense - the exercise of voluntary control over one's body. If sheer willpower can overcome this on an individual level then it can overcome it on a societal level, society being nothing more than a collection of individuals.

It seems as though you're suggesting that we use authority to "solve" these "systemic" issues - which really are just individual issues for a subset of the population. This suggests that you are comfortable deciding what's good for others. How would you respond to obese or social-media-obsessed people who are content with their lives and not interested in your "solutions"?

This is the reverse slippery slope fallacy.

There is no threshold, no effect size where this tuns net negative, etc. We took these 10 steps, were worried and nothing happened, we can do more steps.
You rotate at Vr, not V1. Vr is almost always close to V1, though. The 777's flight computer can calculate all 3 (V1, Vr, V2) for you, put them on the speed tape (on the left of the Primary Flight Display), and audibly call them out.
Not one that’s likely to be solved by spreading to the moon. Personally I have much the same attitude about the eradication of the human race as I do about dying: it’s going to happen eventually, best to make out time here as good as possible rather than trying to extend it indefinitely at all costs. And giving up the earth seems like a huge cost to me.

> And you are right twitter can still have that clause, and they can cause they have somethign to offer (i.e. a userbase) but if the content of everyone would be somewhere else other competiors would be able to offer it and then competiion for users would tend to make those terms more accessible to those that care enough to read them.

This seems incompatible with the goal of control: instead of giving Twitter free rein to reproduce your content however, you’re giving everyone on the internet the ability to do what they want with it, completely unrestricted.

(Yes, you could DMCA then but then the blockchain is useless)
You also get to own and use the result forever, even after leaving the group of people you're currently working with (ie switching jobs).

https://www.tvbgone.com meant as a prank. And I love using it almost anywhere.
It's both. Yes it is good that you spent early 2021 not mindlessly scrolling TikTok, and yes it is true that as individuals we do have some agency in the matter.

But, it is also true that in this 'attention economy' the large companies are hiring psychologists to try to break your agency, to try to take it away from you. And they are doing a pretty damn good job, and aren't going to stop any time soon. "Stolen" in the title of the OP is not really an exaggeration.

>It is hugely powerful to not get caught up in all this nonsense at the individual level.

I mostly agree with this, but in the same token think we should be aware of "this nonsense".

>As if there is absolutely no choice other than to be helplessly addicted to your phone.

Don't think anyone is saying that. Think what we are saying is more along the lines of something like 'the problem is systemic, essentially baked into the business model of advertising/marketing, and it should be addressed'

We already know that microplastics are dangerous (BPA, leeching of random compounds, plankton overpopulation, animals with stuffed stomachs), there's no need to wait 50 years more.

Otherwise I agree with what you say, and I'd say it agrees with what I said: we're pretty good at detecting harmful effects, and good at not taking them into account.

But that's not what the parent implied.
I resonate with what you are saying. May I add that people like us can acquire too many projects. I am in a season of cutting back and having fewer projects. Not necessarily less time spent but maybe more focus. Your life sounds very interesting by the way. Hard work but purposeful as you say.

I believe AirDrop is a a great example of how Apples vertical integration and full ownership of software and hardware really thrives. It may not offer interoperability with other platforms, but that’s because other platforms don’t have the control needed to implement the same level of integration of hardware and software needed.

Without the direct low level control of the radio hardware they would not have been able to integrate both Bluetooth and WiFi in the way that AirDrop does.

I hope one day standards for this type of functionality appear so that other platforms can implement it. Ideally apple would contribute their tech to create the standard but that’s probably wishful thinking.

This is an annoying indirection in this discussion.

Doctors working for everyone also means they work for the highest bidder. Remember the tabaco industry in the US and the doctors literally advertising it?

Yeah. So, if you want to bring up a misleading example, at least think of the entire cycle of the "other side" of this.

At the end of the day the thing is "interesting what happens when doctors are incentivized with capital and success is measured by how rich you are"

It's less about entertaining, and more about interesting, which is how I know you completely misunderstood ADHD. Discipline can only compensate shitty neurotransmitter levels for so long, eventually it becomes painful to even start trying to focus and it'll even cut into your productivity with things where you'd usually get hyperfocus without issues.

I really hate how contentious and polarizing ADHD is. Reminds me of being trans. There are people who benefit greatly from being medicated, much more than the risk they take. That should really be the end of it.
