I am having difficulty finding TikTok's addictiveness. My job depends on understanding consumer apps, so in the past 1.5 years, I've been trying TikTok anew every 3 months, each day at least trying to spend 10 minutes on it no matter how uninteresting I find the content to be, but end up giving up after 3 to 7 days each time I try. I swipe quickly past uninteresting content, stay on mildly interesting ones, and make sure to click like or add comment on interesting ones, in order to send signals to AI.

I'm not embodying any fake persona, just trying to find what I would find interesting. I just don't get addicting content. I even try searching so that TikTok would get explicit keywords from me.

I subscribe to a bunch of email newsletters and RSS feeds, check Reddit and Twitter daily, and check HackerNews morning and night, and I have no problem finding interesting content every time I open these things (Twitter being least interesting to me out of this list).

I like software engineering, business, product management, marketing, and technology industry generally. I don't believe I am so far from regular consumers: I check out mainstream videos on YouTube like MKBHD and even subscribe to his podcast (This is to show I find content for "mainstream consumers" interesting, though I work in tech and know more about tech things than MKBHD's target audience).

Can someone help? Why is the whole world praising TikTok while I am failing repeatedly?
That is not true. You can route only traffic to the SOCKS proxies if you choose and nothing else.
Don't move around that much? Classic mistake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD8I6SG_DAU
We tried that in many parts of the world. It was called social realism, socialism and communism. It never worked out. There’s always a group of people who just don’t care and the rest is much worse off than in capitalism. So what do you do with those outliers?
>Rich people will always run democracies because they can affect the lives of the people, therefore politicians must listen to them.

You argue freedom includes freedom of the majority to restrict the freedom of the minority. What you're describing sounds like the minority restricting the freedom of the majority.

More seriously, there's probably something to this from a motherboard design perspective, there's enough general purpose compute on a modern graphics card to do the initial bootloader stuff. But graphics cards are not standardized as much as CPUs are, so it's unclear if it would work as we've currently designed systems.

Downvoting because if you're including MDMA/Ecstasy in the same group with these other substances you mentioned then you have no idea what you're talking about. At all.

Other platforms only look for similar content to what you've already seen. They don't take novelty into account.

If you like one picture of a dog on Instagram it'll just show you more dogs and you get bored. Watch a few YouTube videos about one topic and the algorithm gets fixated on it.

YouTube is so bad now that if you use it to listen to music the autoplay gets into an infinite loop of songs that sound near identical, it's torture if you don't already know what you want to see/hear.

In short the usual algorithms are tailored to find similar content only, rather than finding novel content several degrees of separation away from what the user has expressed interest in.
Breaking news: Something on the internet is addicting. Is this what we've been reduced to? Rehashing the same thoughts ad infinitum? Is it because a "thought leader" said it?

Ecstasy is NOT meth.

Meth will most likely ruin your life and you will want more and more.

MDMA is simply not very fun if you try taking it over and over again. It stops working and you just feel shitty for longer and longer periods without any feeling of getting high.

The problem is that a lot of molly that is sold today is full of things other than mdma. Meth is one of those things. You should absolutely use a test kit if you plan on taking anything.
You're more right than you realize, because the console version is the original; the arcade version was the port.
Very cool stuff, I feel like I need to definitely learn Kotlin more now

Swift + Kotlin + Java + C + JS + Lisp + C++ should have you covered for most things
Thanks for replying! I'm using the iOS app.
Wouldn't the palette chosen by Nintendo for use in first-party emulators going for a "nostalgic" feel (e.g. the NES Classic's https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Kachikachi) be in some sense the "canonical" palette? At least in the same way that an author's statements about their own previously-published works are "canonical" to those works.

My thinking is that there was certainly an RGB palette that the designers — probably working on something like an Amiga — chose when creating the pixel art for the games; and that Nintendo likely has institutional memory, if not hard records, of what that design-time palette was; and so later palettes in RGB-based emulators were likely chosen to closely resemble those design-time palettes.

Maybe? I am not sure how much "role assignment" is handled as part of SSO vs. how often SSO is purely authentication and there's another app-tier layer that's doing authorization.

"Role definition" is certainly app-tier, by ... uh... definition.

I'm thinking of something more like a literal terraform config that treats roles as resource templates to be instantiated against human accounts.

{ template: "New SE", roles: [ { system: AWS-Live, role: ReadOnly }, { system: SonatypeNexus, role: ReadOnly } ... ] }

And then you just do the equivalent of "tf apply 'New SE' joe@example.com" and a bunch of UX or backend automation updates permissions for Joe in all the things.

And then you publish the role templates, and let your EMs, Sr. SEs, and other opinion-havers about roles start tuning/tweaking/extending/adding. With review and approval from Sec and IT. And then if there's some role definition change, you just roll it out like you would a single user.
Long time (mostly ex-) org-mode user here. Org-mode is incredibly capable, but it's often not the best tool. The last time I used active code blocks in org-mode, it was for reading headings from the org file's TODOs to create an at-a-glance summary table of completion state.

It's super interactive because you're executing code on the very same file where it's written, but tightly couples the functionality Emacs, and adds irrelevant content (code) into the file. It also requires you debug, which can become a huge distraction from what is a simple goal. You also have to remember to run the sync code block, unless you have a method of auto-running the code or use another mechanism to remind yourself. Auto-sync is a whole other exercise.

The workflow stuff in the OP article looks completely doable in org-mode, but if we can see the difficulty in engineering the workflow system directly in emacs-lisp, and good choices exist for developing the system separately, then all of a sudden you're left wondering if Emacs + org-mode is actually the best client.

So now I mostly write markdown. That said, adding markdown code-fence execution to Emacs is surprisingly simple... you can send it to org's evaluate!
> It is statistically an outlier.

Is it though? Because neither you nor the linked piece have provided any framework by which to call it an outlier. Calling something a statistical outlier has no meaning without statistics.

> There's no accompanying analysis to support its inclusion in the comparison

The case for its inclusion is the fact that it's a country in the region, and we're comparing countries in the region. You don't need a good reason to include it, you need a good reason to exclude it, especially when it's the only one excluded, and again, especially when the title of the piece contains the word "vindicated". Calling something an outlier and causally tossing it aside, especially when it contradicts your point is classic cherry picking.
In dark mode it’s very legible. I expect most people know not to microwave their phones except maybe children.
Reddit made a change recently (in the last week or so) along these lines, to start injecting new subreddits in to your feed. They've picked up on this too.
But that’s not at all unique to TikTok. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, etc. have massive amounts of data to play with as well. What else does TikTok have that these other platforms do not?
I love nes
It says you could build React applications. What about Svelte?

Also, what are the pros/cons over using typescript? I personally dislike typescript but used to love Kotlin when I was doing more Android development.
before LLVM-based languages like Julia or Nim could get a foothold.

Nim isn't an LLVM-based language (not 100% sure you were implying that), though nlvm[1] is a thing.

Regardless, Arraymancer[2] is quite a gem in the scientific computing ecosystem (doesn't build on nlvm, i.e. the mainline Nim compiler is sufficient).

> Alternatively, I could also say that the good Samaritan is actually acting in a way that is a detriment to his survival, and only happens because of a bug in his generic and psychological programming or an old beneficial feature that is no longer good for a new environment and will eventually be removed via natural selection.

Evolution does not "work" on behalf of individuals. It works on behalf of species. So if a member of a species is willing to sacrifice himself or take risks for the whole, that is an evolutionary feature not a bug.

If a species were truly focused on the individual, I imagine it would quickly die out, which, let's face it, seems like a threat to our species in our modern world when people choose not to have kids because they don't want the responsibilties involved.
The system used in the Atari 400 and Atari 800 is definitely based on the thinking of the Atari 2600 in that you are really thinking about drawing one line at a time but you are getting help to do it

This chip

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANTIC

is controlled by a "display list" that sets the strategy used to draw lines on a line-by-line basis. If you have 20 blank lines you can just skip past them and not waste any RAM representing them. If you want to put a line of text at the bottom of a video game it is completely easy.

This chip

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTIA_and_GTIA

is controlled by the ANTIC and composites ANTIC's data stream it with sprites, tiles and characters.

It's a sweet system and crazy flexible, made it easy to make games like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_VDM8nC9sM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOV5C_wvP4o

but it just didn't have it together like the NES system, or the even better tiles & sprites system in the original Game Boy.
This might be more appealing to programmers outside the Java ecosystem if it didn't depend on Gradle.
This sounds pretty believable.
I've been using Fossil as my own personal knowledge repository for a few months, and it's been wildly successful.

It's pretty much Gitea in a single SQLite file (Wiki, tickets, version control, etc.). It's weird, but you can edit all of these things off-line and then sync everything back. `fossil ui` hosting the server for my docs locally, and from my home server is super useful and easy.

Some of the commands are super weird though, but I put them my homepage of my fossil docs :) The auto-sync feature helps since I work on multiple computers to help ensure that I don't get too far out of sync.
I searched DuckDuckGo for “how to build an alu” (or “Arithmetic Logic Unit”), here’s one:
- http://www.csc.villanova.edu/~mdamian/Past/csc2400fa13/assig...

Further, in searching for the exact FPGA I’m finding it very daunting!
- The kind I used is a Xilinx, which came as the chip and a PCB which I had to solder together. Worked great, it’s programmed over a Micro-USB from within the software.
- Here is the model of Intel Max 10 FPGA My old Digital Logic class is using today: 10M02SCU169C8G.
- The software is called Quartus, and here it seems to be on Intel’s website: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software/programmabl...
- Thanks to My alma mater University of Florida, and Dr. Schwartz, for this information: https://mil.ufl.edu/3701/docs/quartus/quartus_18.1_tutorial...., who I don’t think would mind you learning from it! Follow the rest of the class here: https://mil.ufl.edu/3701/.

Good luck!
You're not getting my point here. People are physical proof checkers. Proof is the language of mathematics. The language is not the content.
I learned to take control of my extreme blushing by, strangely enough, looking people in the eye. I used to always avoid eye-contact, and that makes it easy to forget that you’re talking to a real, fallible person. Looking someone in the eye helps remind me that they probably feel a bit awkward too… especially when I’m giving them the stare-down as I will myself not to blush lol. I still blush sometimes, but not nearly so often as I did before.

As for my uncontrollable sweating in social situations though, I haven’t found the cure.

Edit to add that I also developed posture-related neck problems which required physical therapy in which I learned to stand up straight. Now I have to stand straight or else the neck issues come back. And I feel like it’s really boosted my confidence. Even if I don’t necessarily feel socially acclimated, I’m often standing straighter than anyone in the room (because I have to), and I know that gives off the impression of confidence, which makes me feel it.
You describe an approach to dating that sounds like you're playing a video game and everyone else is an NPC. It's not about ticking achievements off a box. You're playing the race card, but I'm pretty positive that there are countless white males less successful than a claimed fit millionaire guitar-playing you who somehow have found relationships! If you could somehow change your skin color you'd have the same problems because that's no more a meaningful change for building strong relationships than playing guitar or working out.
Tesla released a doctored video in 2016 claiming to have a fully-functional system that needed humans only for legal reasons.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/technology/tesla-autopilo...

Over the years, they repeatedly pushed this narrative to sell cars. Tesla promised on several occasions to have millions of fully autonomous "robotaxis" on the road in 2020, making their owners in excess of $30,000 a year. Currently there are, of course, zero.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/38129/elon-musk-promised-1-mil...

Take a look at this video for what Tesla describes as a beta for their "Full Self Driving" system. A beta is, of course, meant to be feature complete software in final testing. Does this look like it's nearly ready to be pushed out to every car on the road?

"I define it thus" is not an actual argument. You have made no attempt to defend your assertion.
I was living in Germany when I started using it and I told myself that it would help with learning the language, since I was being served german language content (oddly it seemed to think I was in Austria). It was a bit dull at first but I guess somehow, I kept using it enough. I'm not a dancer or super into dance but I did get hooked by some of the dancing stuff. Slowly but surely, I now get almost no dance content and it's all explainer/politics/philosophy/cycling/etc. I definitely used the 'not interested in this' feature a lot to train it.
All that awkwardness is in your mind. Work through memories one by one.
It sounds like this could be a behind-the-scenes feature to optimize ThreadLocal class. It doesn't seem like the type of thing you'd use directly.
Perhaps they added a way to measure relationships between content, and expand the recommendation to several degrees of separation between related content.
I once read a report by a researcher named George Carlin:

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
>Have you reported this to the SEC yet?

No, nor have I reported Deepak Chopra or Amway or Gwyneth Paltrow. There are blatant scams all around us. A lack of interest from the feds doesn't mean much.

Besides, the SEC has enough on their plate when it comes to Tesla.

>If you’re depressed, you don’t have the energy to do the beneficial things you’re recommending above.

That's just not true. You can't do all of them, of course, but you can take one step at a time over the course of months/years. It's a positive feedback loop that really does help.

>If you’re depressed, you don’t have the energy to do the beneficial things you’re recommending above.

Again, I'm not sure this is true either (at least in the general case). For many people, there's no obvious cause for their depression, but they "just are". There's no peace that needs to be made or trauma that needs integrating, just learning to live life in a way that isn't toxic to your mind.

For me, therapy and mindfulness meditation were both beyond useless.

Learning to stop over-intellectualising everything and implementing strategies to make mundane, day-to-day life more pleasant and wholesome has done wonders.
Napoleon was short. He did alright.
For me it was a combination of having achieved some amount of success (physical, financial, career) and also some humbling failure.

Basically I learned I'm not so bad, and I'm not a great man either. I'm good enough. I don't hurt other people.

I like myself, and when you genuinely like yourself then other people's opinions aren't quite as important. Nearly everyone responds positively when you aren't seeking other's approval (but are still kind).

I suspect this comes with age for a lot of people. Didn't happen for me until my 30s. Losing weight and getting into shape was a huge catalyst, I highly recommend it.
God the notion that declarative design will somehow fix everything and is the end all be all needs to go away. As people grow more experienced with programming they want more control over the flow of their program, so they can focus on fixing the bugs instead of playing the abstraction game to fix the (internal) bugs, if they can at all.

> Are immediate-mode GUIs up to the task?

Enough for companies like Unity/UE4 to sponsor the github projects.
Interesting. So you weren't interested in dance, but you got interested through TikTok? Reminds me of how Pinterest's value prop includes exploration and inspiration (as opposed to searching for what you know you are looking for).
I'm surprised that no one mentions that the value in Twitter is not in the software and hardware but in the community around it. Yes, you can rewrite the software and duplicate every other aspect but getting a world wide community to use it is a multi-billion dollar project if it's even possible to replicate. Not to mention the years it will take to get people to use it.

If it was software and hardware only, it would have been done already since people are constantly calling for its replacement. There's only one twitter. Looks like it's here to stay until people get tired of it.
What are the things you liked about Kotlin that Typescript didn’t have or did poorly? I’m not familiar with Kotlin at all.
I learned a lot from The Catsters on YouTube, way back in 2007 or so.
Your conclusion seems a bit reductive/circular and begs the question "yes but why does Python have momentum?"

Python is/was chosen because the syntax is clean and expressive and obvious if you speak English (which most people in this context do) and because although performance is almost always worse in interpreted languages, there are clear productivity benefits when doing the kind of programming that is demanded from data science / data processing / etc. Same for dynamic vs static typing and a number of other choices made by Python.

Specifically, many (most?) programs are not long-term maintained projects in this space. A lot of them are just little scripts to convert one dataset into another format, or scrape specific content from somewhere, or support a scientific paper that will not get updated after publication.

Good questions. And your experience makes a lot of sense. Ideally, we would see positive changes persist over many time points (and so we aren't measuring immediately before self-harming and immediately after).

Apparently Open Genera now even runs under macOS on Apple M1s: https://twitter.com/gmpalter/status/1359360886415233029

I think the big problem with Genera is the licensing. Although it comes with source code, it is proprietary software, and buying a license is expensive. I think the owners of the Symbolics IP have prioritised squeezing the maximum revenue out of a declining user base over trying to grow that user base.

I'm surprised "Open Source LispOS" projects have largely failed to gain traction. Writing your own OS is (at least in some ways) easier than it used to be (especially if you target virtualisation rather than bare metal). There seem to be a lot more people saying "LispOS is what we need!" than actually writing one or contributing to an existing effort to write one.
This. I don't know why people think that Twitter and other social platforms are public forum. People blocked by Twitter don't lose their freedom of speech.
Besides, what most of the people crying about this want is not freedom of speech, it's freedom of repercussions.
For me, the definition of what is "real" is: will I continue to be engaged if I didn't have to, e.g., if I was free of my need to work. My boss doesn't fall in that category, my friends (childhood / some good friends I made in my career) do. Is it possible to have a great boss who you can also consider a friend/mentor well after you are not working for them? Definitely, but that doesn't happen that often. So in absence of having that kind of relationship, yes, they are ancillary to my real life. How much time I spend with them in the work setting has nothing to do with it.
Twitter is an outrage platform. We would all be better off without it. I genuinely believe it’s a disservice to society.
