I have two batteries in my ThinkPad. One went where the optical drive would go.

Re: Phone battery swap

I typically have a fully charged one in my backpack. I use it every so often just to keep it healthy.

The one on the phone gets charged when the phone does and it basically delivers 2X battery time, and can discharge first.

My experience with these lithium batteries is they will degrade very slowly when kept out of extremes at the bottom and constant charge at the top.

A deep discharge degrades the battery the worst, so basically do not do that. Same goes for laptops.

Batteries then perform for years.
> many software developers simply stopped caring about performance...

Little "conspiracy" theory here if you can call it that, and not one that a lot of people will agree with I imagine, but I sometimes think this was caused by the mass adoption of "premature optimisation is the root of all evil".

The problem is, for a lot of devs, quite possibly myself included, its either premature or an afterthought. With mass adoption of that phrase, it becomes an afterthought. For me, for better or worse, I can't get out of it. It doesn't mean I never write inefficient software, especially in my day job I come into conflict with that, but its always the first thing in my mind.

Maybe I'm way off base there and just trying to justify bad habits, but I can't say it feels bad to me.
I think I read about this rule here on HN and have been following it since a couple of years. The funny thing is, banks do scammer like things so often. I had a yearly subscription that tried to renew and they tried to charge me first for 0, and bank rejected it. 2 hours later I get a call from a weird number from my city (when my bank is in another city and all official numbers are from there) from apparently the fraud department of another bank that now handles fraud prevention from my bank. I refused to give them any info, told them I will call the bank back and just called the number on my card, which is the default support number for my bank and sorted everything out in 5 minutes.

This worked for me, but the necessary step was understanding why I'm doing the things I'm doing. Long term habits are serving some need, changing them overnight to habits that are better for you but don't serve that need - isn't very likely to work.

For example I had problems with playing video games, and quitting single-player games was easy once I started walking/biking listening to audiobooks or podcasts. It's similarly relaxing. There's even CRPG-like progression angle - I measure how much I did through the year and see my average speed go up.

But I still craved multiplayer games, because they serve a different need. You don't play dota to relax, quite the opposite :) In this case a 3min chess game now and then and playing D&D once a week scratches that itch and is much harder to abuse.
There are an infinite number of coincidences happening in every moment: a raindrop falling, a light turning off, a wind blowing on mars, a star rotating, and so on.

If one cared to find "something apparently significant" in any moment, one would therefore find an infinity of them.

By comparison, events which are directly causally connected are diminishingly few, and mostly indistinguishable from those coincidences. Hence, most things are actually unknowable, and what few beyond the ordinary, require extremely expensive and technologically advanced science to uncover.

> The point of 238 is a shared burden between the owner and the charterer in the case of a salvage.

This is not obvious. From what appears to be a very literal translation at https://www.cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_results.php?SearchMo... :

> If a boatman [] has caused [a man’s boat] to sink and has raised it, silver of half of its value he shall give

I have no expertise and no opinion on how "raising" a boat might refer to either, neither, or both of refloating or salvaging the boat.

But it seems fair to read Law 238 in the context of the two laws it follows:

> 236. If a man hire his boat to a boatman and the boatman be careless and he sink or wreck the boat, the boatman shall replace the boat to the owner of the boat.

> 237. If a man hire a boatman and a boat and freight it with grain, wool, oil, dates or any other kind of freight, and that boatman is careless and he sink the boat or wreck its cargo, the boatman shall replace the boat which he sank and whatever portion of the cargo he wrecked.

> 238. If a boatman sink a man's boat and refloat [raise] it, he shall give silver to the extent of one-half its value.

This is a straightforward set of elaborations on a basic theme, as frequently occurs in the code. So the law says:

1. If you sink someone else's boat, you replace the boat.

2. If there was cargo on the boat, you have to replace that too.

3. If you sink the boat, but then you recover it, you don't have to replace the whole boat. [Which makes sense, because the whole boat hasn't been lost. Replacing the whole thing wouldn't be fair.] But a boat that's been sunk can be safely assumed to have taken some damage. So you pay for half of it.

That's not a sharing of the burden between the owner and the operator. It's assessing -- against the operator -- a customary judgement that is notionally equal to the value of the harm that the operator caused. None of the burden is being assigned to the owner, and all of the burden is being assigned to the operator.

The author's views on code seem rather opinionated in general. Their thoughts on internationalization in particular go against all best practices in the pursuit of clean code dogma: https://github.com/ariccio/altWinDirStat/tree/master/WinDirS...

I'm amused that the author rants about the importance of being able to easily analyze code and then wants to produce (presumably) a different binary per language to analyze all over.

Their commit messages are also rather colorful. This is an interesting project, but seemingly not someone I'd enjoy working with.

I think this is an excellent point — while we do try to give acknowledgement to the previous technology that paved the way for what we are doing (there are a few articles that treat microservices, containers, serverless https://fermyon.com/blog/index), I agree that we could do a better job at talking about programming languages and language runtimes.

Sorry, by “swing length” I meant the length of the rope of the swing, not how far it swings (amplitude). You’d agree that Galileo saw lanterns on longer ropes swing slower?

Thank you for clarifying that for me! So, no “AC” antennas?
There are entanglements - to remove and replace some of the pipe requires removing and disposing of asbestos, or updating or replacing materials or structural elements of a house. A contractor or homeowner can't simply replace plumbing and ignore everything else, and property value is garbage for those houses even if they fix everything up.

They could waive code requirements and grandfather in exceptions that would allow focus on the plumbing but there isn't necessarily a simple answer to the issues facing these people. Who wants to spend a ton of money on a property declining in value in a notorious market? And even if there was a clear and easy path to fix things what effect is lead exposure having on their cognition?

Gotta solve for potential pathologies, obstinacy economics, labor rights, and so forth - it's not a simple home project even if it should be. Filters start to look like a better solution in the face of politics and bureacracy.

> The people who read the thought experiment this way don't understand it. In the thought experiment neither the computer program (no matter how powerful the computer is) nor the man and the room understand Chinese.

Who says the computer doesn't understand Chinese, though? In this case "the computer" is the system. The program, being the code, isn't a process. The man is acting as a mechanical piece of hardware. But the computer running the program is an active process with state.

I heard a lecture by Searle on this. He mentioned the idea that "the room understands Chinese" and simply dismissed it as absurd without considering it. This is exactly the problem with his argument. Well, that and the casual conflation of the man with the computer as if the CPU hardware is the system.
I don't believe software developers stopped caring about performance per se myself. There's a tradeoff between performance and productivity being made. If you can build a cross-platform app in a JS / React Native app at half the time it would take to make two native apps (+ maintenance over years), a lot will quickly opt for productivity, because a working and launched app always beats a fast app. usually.

Personally I'm of the opinion that companies should just spend the money and build native apps, accepting that feature parity may be lagging between one or the other app, but that's me.

Anyway the other issue is that developers will be working on faster machines (on average) than end users, so they won't feel or notice the perf issues so much. And they get used to it really fast.
> Indeed, even that very email she was sent contained a reminder not to tell it to someone on the phone.

Yes, as regular unformatted text and tucked away at the end of the very last paragraph that starts with standard boilerplate:

"If you did not request this code, or if you have questions, please call us at the toll-free number on the back of your card. Wells Fargo will not contact you by phone or text to request this code."

Worse yet, the second paragraph starts with "Important:". That implicitly signals that the most important part of the email is what follows. However, that's obviously not the case.

The email is absolutely horrible security-wise, it downplays the most important security bit while overplaying everything else.

I happened to read through the entire email while reading the story and spotted the text at the end, but I'm not that confident I would be as diligent in a real life situation, especially if I was tired, like the OP was.

Just about every regular person would easily fall for this.

Second, not all issues, some of them are fixed but there is still major issue, just dig google about issue scaling airflow on production, even with airflow 2, it's still complicated. Airflow still use a lot of CPU for doing nothing else than waiting for some api call. Just try to run 5000 tasks that sleep (simulation of an api call) in Airflow and we will see the challenge of scaling it.

Third, Airflow have still design issues that will not allow you to deal with some sort of pipeline.

Last one, I'm not here to fight against Airflow, some people love, some people hate it. We have take a completely different choice about designing and scaling data pipeline, I let people used what they like. For me, Airflow (and other workflow manager) doesn't fit.

Ever since bjork's "biophilia" album I have considered it a gradient between crystals and biology: they both use atoms in their surrounding to create copies of their structure.

Stone does so in a temperature gradient in the environment (atoms crystallizing as they precipitate out of solution) while Life is able to store enough energy in itself to impose structure (trading energy for entropy) on surrounding atoms even when the environment would otherwise dissolve it. The threshold for 'life' is replicating even when conditions are not perfect, that's survival.

(on another note, we would never have discovered DNA if not for the same x-ray techniques being used to analyze the symmetries of stone)

> Everyone is looking for a smoking gun

It appears the analogy is lost on most people. "Smoking gun" evidence would not be some kind of absolute proof of the virus origins. The whole point of the analogy is that if you find the just-fired gun, and a gunshot victim, you don't need to have seen the actual shot to deduce what happened and with what weapon. In the case of COVID-19, the smoking gun would be the virology lab down the street from the virus epicenter. Of course, smoking guns are rebuttable: there's the possibility that another weapon was involved and all the evidence vanished. But you can't consistently say that there's a smoking gun and yet we lack sufficient evidence. At this point there is sufficient evidence to reach a conclusion, and all that remains is to weigh it.
Why do you think consciousness is a concept? Certainly the concept of consciousness is a concept. But consciousness the referent of the concept is not supposed to be a concept! Consciousness is everything you are experiencing in this moment. The feeling of being the ghost in the machine. The observer behind your eyes. The first-person point of view. The words I'm writing are concepts, but the thing I am trying clumsily to write about is not a concept.

Consider solipsism. I am not saying that I believe it's true. But it does have unlimited explanatory power, once you take the primacy of consciousness as an axiom. You are the one and only consciousness, and all of reality is your waking dream. Water-tight theory of everything!

There are probably other explanations for what it might mean for matter to arise from consciousness, that are not precisely solipsism. But a common idea is probably that we do not have access to what is real. We only have perception. In that sense, it is matter that is purely conceptual, while consciousness remains real in the sense immortalized by Descartes.

Mind you I don't specifically subscribe to any of these views.
Yes, and? The "in the US" is kind of the point. African-Americans are an American ethnic group shaped by their history in the USA and in the British colonies before they were the USA. West Indians don't share that heritage so they're not African-American.

For specifically Southern influence I'm no expert but here's one example.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0163962090285476...

> Southern Culture and Homicide: Examining the Cracker Culture/Black Rednecks Thesis

> Recent scholarship traces the roots of southern violence to the Scots-Irish, who brought a relatively violent “cracker culture” with them to the United States in the eighteenth century. The tolerance for violence inherent in cracker culture was believed to be transmitted throughout the south to other whites and was maintained, in part, through evangelical Christian doctrine. Moreover, Thomas Sowell (2005) recently argued that some southern blacks were also influenced by “cracker culture,” leading to the emergence of a “black redneck” phenomenon influencing homicide among blacks. Using county-level data circa 2000, this study empirically evaluates the merit of the cracker culture/black redneck thesis. Negative binomial regression analyses for a full sample of counties suggest that a measure of southern cracker/black redneck culture is an important factor affecting contemporary rates of argument homicide among both whites and blacks. When counties are divided into south and non-south sub-samples, the results are also consistent: a cracker/black redneck culture effect is evident for both racial groups in the south, and is also apparent outside of the southern region. We interpret these latter findings as possible support for the thesis that southern cracker/black redneck culture has been transported through migration to non-southern localities.

> Requires a domain name to be the first part of the module identifier

This is only true if you want the module to be publicly 'go get'-able. Private modules can be named whatever you want.

(Some tools use whether or not the first import path segment contains a '.' as a heuristic for "is this package stdlib", and those won't work correctly on a module that doesn't use a dot. There's a proposal, not yet accepted, to document this as a naming requirement for modules: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32819 This is of course a looser requirement than "must be a domain name".)

>General Intelligence has drivers, like curiosity, hope, a sense of fairness and injustice, and hunger, pain, pleasure, fear

I love this thinking ! I've never thought about the "drivers" part of AGI, only ever thought about AGI as a "general-toolbox" to "solve-many-problems"

One thing, I think did aid in development of our GI, was the fact we had a physical-body.

Thus we had to "adapt and optimise" our GI with that constraint.

I.e limited energy(sure computing-power could be a good proxy), but things like pain, survive-ability (poisons, being hunted) the first would help that we develop good visual pattern recognition to identity the poisonous snake, the latter(being hunted) that we had to evolve strategies that were in the realms of our bodies capabilities. Like running away, setting traps.

BUT your body is not a static-container, your risk tolerance, capabilities, sensor systems changes as you ages.

We have been building AI, with mostly a "non-corporeal" (i.e digital living space) in mind. At first we(ok me) thought it was an advantage since we could iterate faster and simulate many solutions, but now I think it might be a distinct disadvantage) to NOT include the "limitations" of a physical-container like a body-proxy (energy, vulnerability, limited-capabilities etc).

If synergy is defined(and valued) as: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts,
then maybe: The sum of our limitations(body) is of greater value to the overall-fitness of the organism to evolve intelligence ?

YMMV :)
Ignore von Neumann, he was just an example.

Basically, with the definition as given in the comment, only whatever matches up with the smartest thing around would count as intelligent. (Whether that's the smartest thing currently around, or the smartest thing possible even in theory isn't quite clear.)

In any case, von Neumann was definitely extremely intelligent for a human. Don't conflate intelligence with wisdom, or with having goals that align with yours.
