Bitcoin is a scam -- whether you call it a Ponzi or a Nakamoto scheme as suggested by Preston Byrne -- because the players are split into two groups, where each member of one group is guaranteed to win and the second en masse is guaranteed to loose, further they are funneling this loss to the members of the first group.

Sounds to me like GP is drawing from personal experience consuming a variety of rationalist venues online, and making generalizations from there. Thus, they're applying a descriptivist methodology. I'm not sure that your prescriptivist methodology, working from a definition of rationalism, will produce a satisfactory conclusion. When folks approach an issue with an inherent disagreement about descriptive/prescriptive approaches, the most common outcome seems to be a spiral towards "no true scottsman."

I'm saying salary transparency problems don't appear in the public sector because there is no social basis for them to appear. And as a corollary, that even when this aspect of possible inter-employee strife is removed, that people in those work environments still find ways of warring against one another. So why would you think adding an additional anxiety-inducing way for people to relatively rank one another in the private sector would lead to anything positive?
Peace for Triple Piano [video]
Back about a decade ago when I was doing similar work that required Adobe tools, I used Virtualbox and really enjoyed the compromise. The desktop flexibility of XFCE was enough reason for me at the time, being kind of tired of all the third party commercial tools I was using for the same conveniences in Mac OS that didn't work as well.

Turns out I also wanted to play with my work more, and I ended up writing scripts to do a lot of the work I thought I would use Adobe for.

It was also pretty funny to start getting "share flowchart template pls" requests from my colleague who used InDesign, when I had created the flowcharts in LibreOffice and Inkscape.

So IDK, tools and results are one thing, but fun new processes are often fun and also end up getting results that were worth it in different ways.
I was of the same mindset until this year when the pro-crypto crowd invaded the online art scene. Now I unfortunately can't avoid it, as much as I try, not matter how many keywords I mute.

I'd like to go back to ignoring it. But it looks like it's here to stay, and it's taken away one of the few things enjoyed about the internet. I guess I'm still moving through the anger and grief stages and am yet to reach acceptance.

Why couldn't they have just left art alone?
No, just that plumbers are in short supply at the moment.

Marketing.

> Is it inherent to Tesla or is it just that all cars are scarce now and hard to keep in stock.

Are you going to break a deal you invested so much into over a missing USB port, phone charger, and a fucked up bumper? Most people won't. They just want all that shit to be over with, so that they can drive their car home.
Modern mirrorless cameras (and some DSLRs) use phase detecting image sensors.

E.g. on Canon R5 every pixel on the sensor is microlensed into two sub-pixels, one that sees the left half of the aperture and one that sees the right half. The difference between the two is the phase information for auto-focusing.

The use of the image sensor for auto-focusing also means that the camera can use ML object detection to refine the focus point (e.g. eye-detection) and the camera can use optical flow for servo of moving subjects tracking. Without a viewfinder prism in the way the focusing sensor also receives more light, and it's not interrupted while a photo is being taken. So even though the on-sensor phase detectors are less good than the ones used in DSLRs there are a lot of offsetting benefits.

The camera can even preserve the dual subpixel info in raw files, though there isn't yet much software to make use of the info in post-processing.

In manual focus mode the camera can highlight the portion of the image that's in-focus according to the phase detection. It's pretty @#$@ amazing, especially when using a tilted lens.
“The fox isn't trying to get 100 meters away - it's trying to get 100 triangles away.”

When escaping, if they get nearby a “dense” zone, their behavior makes them run towards it since there are more triangles to hop to and it makes them “feel like” they are farther away from you, instead they will keep running around in the same “dense” area.

Well… maybe I could’ve explained it better but yeah, it’s more or less like this.

> Another problem with cheap electric stoves (especially induction) is that a lot of them have absolutely terrible capacitive switches that work half of the time. I never had this issue with knobs on a gas stove, even the cheap ones.

I didn't think people were using electric stoves to be a superset of induction stoves. As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as a cheap inductive stove, and the break down (where I live) is: low end - electric stoves, mid end - gas stoves, high end - induction stoves. Induction just has a lot of advantages in speed and cleanup.
But there were people, and tropics, and people in the tropics. Africa, for example, and Sundaland (mountaintops of which are now Indonesia).

> I guess I don't get how operating systems are still something that people have such strong opinions on. All of the major operating systems are good enough or can be made good enough by installing a few packages.

The phrase "good enough" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here as people have different priorities. For some people, having their dev environment broken by updates is a huge negative, something MacOS has done to myself and others frequently over the past few years. Others, like myself, don't care so much and so indeed MacOS is "good enough" for me but certainly not for everyone.

A degree costs money, time, and lost opportunity. On top of that the cost of a degree is inflated due to student loans with no bankruptcy option. All to unlock doors you unlocked 6 years ago. A list of notable projects you worked on professionally is more valuable than a degree.

Even in a future unfavorable job market, over-saturated with workers, the profit motive doesn't change. Proven ability is more valuable than paper credentials. Especially in a job requiring innovation, where you can't simply do things by rote.

> So much drama from a missing part due to covid. Almost every car manufacture is facing it.

It's not the wait time for a part that's the most ridiculous thing here. It's that they sold the car with a key component of the brake system missing. And then when the customer complained they made things 10x worse by claiming it was all normal. No other car maker did this.

My current assortment of lists look like this:

Job-check monthly

Job-check weekly

private-check monthly

private-check weekly

Monday / Tuesday / (...) (weekday lists)

Monthly lists get checked at the beginning of the month, weekly lists at the beginning of the week. I move tasks to the individual days and delete or move items at the end of the day. I tried many systems so far, and I like to focus on a few things during the day. This is a system that currently works, but it will likely be replaced at some point.

Team tasks are another matter, they live in shared tools at work. Keeping both systems in synch is often a challenge, and I need to restart it after a few days.
As a counterpoint to "throwaway cars", when they don't need repairs they do seem to be able to do a million miles or more with comparitively little maintenance.

The throwaway effect can an does happen to any ICE vehicle easily, when the engine is not economic to repair. We should have laws covering all types and brands of vehicles to make them more repairable, but ultimately this should be easier with electric (recycling batteries in bulk is cheaper than mining more lithium)
How do you know arithmetic is not complete or consistent? In ZFC arithmetic is complete and arithmetic is consistent. This assumes that ZFC is consistent. The second order Peano axioms are categorical so I assume you mean only the first order theory.

At any rate, what does any of this have to do with information capacity in the universe? Is the information capacity of the universe related to the consistency/completeness of arithmetic?

My neighbor asked me to help him get rid of windows 10 and install Ubuntu on his old (2013) laptop. I helped. It was easy and fast to install. Of course, you needed to know what is an image and how to boot from a USB device, but it was easy nonetheless.

Since he doesn't depend on any windows-only software, hardware or service, I didn't expect any problem.

I was particularly happy the printer (an multifunction HP Deskjet 27XX series) needed no fiddle to work, neither did its scanner. The windows driver was EXTREMELY intrusive and required an HP account.

Bluetooth needed a fix: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1232159/ubuntu-20-04-no-soun... which was the first google result and very easy to fix. After that, he was impressed that by just turning on the bluetooth speaker was enough to have the audio routed through it.

Then he proceeded to install software. I then started watching like someone who is following an usability test. He googled to install chrome and asked me if he should download the .rpm or .deb, I answered he needed the .deb. Firefox downloaded it but didn't automatically opened it. I really don't know why. I also don't know if simply double-clicking it in nautilus would be enough, I just typed "dpkg -i" and that was done, but it was not the best experience in usability. This needs a fix.

I then told him that he should not expect to install things the old windows way: download an installer an run it. I then showed him "Ubuntu Software". Most users these days are used to something similar to that thanks to "stores" on smartphones (note that FLOSS was a pioneer with this concept). Things then went mostly downhill from there. It is not that he couldn't install what he needed, on the contrary: he did install what he needed but "Ubuntu Software" is very very buggy! Results are duplicated without clear differentiation, you couldn't tell the state of it just by looking at it, software was installed but didn't appear immediately, there was no clue when an installation finished, first time something was run took a long time without any indication what was happening... I'm glad I'm skilled to use the command line.

If linux want to have a chance on the desktop, the software installing experience still has some way to go. It is better now for novices, but still partly broken.

Conclusion: Much much better but still not there yet for complete novices. The good part: I don't know if windows or mac are "already there" for complete novices either.
We agree. The flip-side of this is that you get an analysis from a former Russian colonel, which is interesting and somewhat rare.

In other words: "what is his/her bias?" is a more interesting question than "who is unbiased?".

This assumes that you have the option of not gambling. However, you are forced to use the roulette table by fiat currencies. How much will USD be worth in 5 years? Who knows. It's less risky than other options, but a sure loser in net worth with inflation. The only way to not lose is to adopt some type of more risky position (AKA gambling).

Jack Dorsey creates a fund to address Bitcoin developers legal headaches
Solana has a company behind it, Monero has a couple foundations I think but it's mostly a bunch of independent devs behind it (some of which, like Fluffy Pony, definitely have enough money to spend on marketing if they wanted to). It's the difference between something that is pseudo-decentralized and actually decentralized.

I don't see how you can implement smart-contracts in general on Monero because it's not programmable. You can write small arbitrary messages via tx_extra and in theory some other chain that looks at the Monero chain could read that, but because tx_extra messages are direct-writes and aren't automatically encrypted using the wallet keys or anything, there is nothing special about them besides them being immutable. In fact in some ways tx_extras could contribute to deanonymizing the chain if it created correlations between ring signatures, and Monero devs have discussed removing it several times.

There's a question of whether Monero itself could be extended to be programmable and actually do things with those messages, but I'm guessing the answer is probably no because it would bloat the chain and have questionable value (right now Monero is "unixy" in that it does one thing and does it well), even if it were possible to do.
Have you verified this personally?

Out of curiosity (and fear), I looked up used 2007 Highlander this morning on SFBay Craigslist, and there was plenty of inventory and they looked like a reasonable bargain, around $6-10k for one with relatively low miles considering they are 16 years old.

Maybe prices at dealerships are way up? Or people want newer cars and those are crazy expensive?

I am certain my friend who just paid way too much for a newer used Toyota is a moron in such matters.
I grew up in Saffron Walden. Never expected to see something about it posted here.

It’s not a huge town (20k people) but it’s got an absolute gigantic, almost cathedral sized church in part due to the revenues generated from Saffron and the associated markets that sprung up around it.

> Does the human eye have bokeh?

Yes. When your eye is focused on something close, point sources of light in the background will look larger and blurry. You'll also see two of them if you have two eyes open and have a sense of depth that a single lens projecting the scene onto a flat sensor cannot capture in the same way. 3D photography using two lenses has existed for a while, but viewing the result requires compromises relative to a print on paper or conventional screen technologies.

The ability to have a shallow depth of field is valuable as a compositional tool to focus the viewer's attention where the photographer wants it. Bokeh - how the defocused area looks is an artistic quality, and so far the digitally-created version I've seen produced by smartphones is not aesthetically pleasing to me. I imagine that will change as the algorithms get better.

I think some of the trends currently popular in photography using dedicated cameras are driven by what smartphones can't do, which includes (optical) shallow depth of field.
The mindset behind that attitude, however, is pretty much the same.
When I write stuff down on to-do lists I never forget things on the list. I don't look at the list and check them off after I do them. It doesn't help me get anything done. The items I don't do are memorized on the phone and in my mind, and I still don't do them.

I guess I keep putting stuff in the to-do list on the fear I might forget to do something important, but probably I wouldn't check the to-do list enough to prevent that anyway.

I think the to-do list is probably best if you model yourself as the slave of its author, and you dutifully obey your master. Where the to-do list represents some kind of self-mastery, executive function, command of present self from past. Also liberates you from decision-making in the present.

I don't have that attitude toward to-do lists at all.
OP here. Here were my needs:

- I need to get into the habit of using it every day.

- I need to like using it. For me, a lack of friction is vital.

- I need something flexible enough for me to add extra detail if I need it (e.g. notes) or change my workflow as my situation changes.

I found that a plain text file works very well for me. I always have my terminal open, editing a file is quick, and I can store notes with tasks easily. I don't need my list to look beautiful -- I just need to be able to pull it up no matter where I am.

Specifically, I'm using the system Jeff Huang describes here: https://jeffhuang.com/productivity_text_file/

[edit]: And going up one step, there's the meta-issue that there are, what, hundreds of to-do apps to choose from? Frankly, I found myself paralyzed by options.
First year for me not on Linux desktop for my primary device since... 99? M1 Air was the culprit. I still don't particularly love Mac OS and remain somewhat puzzled by the overwhelming love people have for it but:

1. It's usable enough and it's certainly polished and much more importantly

2. The M1 Air is the laptop I always dreamed of. Fast, doesn't get hot, SILENT. It's worth the trade-off for me, but I hope Linux on M1 succeeds and I get to run Linux again.
You would expect Tesla to make sure customers are well informed about certain features are missing, and being added when they become available. The missing USB was known (due to unavailability).
For missing brake pads, you hope q&a catches that, and some electronic alert shows up if brake pads are missing (or worn beyond being useful).
Having worked at an independent PC repair shop, there are a lot of people who would rather keep using their old 6+ year old laptops and have SSDs installed in them than go out and buy a new laptop. Yeah there are cheap ones for sale, but they're underpowered, have regular old HDDs, and only 4GB of RAM. Plus, now they're coming with Windows 11 preinstalled, which will annoy a lot of people who are used to Windows 7 or 10.
An ICE vehicle can last 15+ years. Even more in a benign environment. Tesla doesn't make anything that will last that long.
The Berlin Interpretation significantly postdates Diablo II and was written by people deeply familiar with the breadth of the traditional roguelike genre, from the direct Hack and Angband descendents, to lesser-known PC crawls like Telengard and Castle of the Winds, to the non-English descendants via Fushigi no Dungeon. You can (probably should!) argue with its definition but the suggestion that Diablo upended it is silly.
