> Much more important for me was the realization that I can evoke images, scenes, etc. in other people that trigger feelings in them. Which in turn can trigger actions or omissions. Fear, joy, hate, love, disgust, lust. Which they can't do to me, at least not just by invoking visual images in my mind through words. Manipulative, but not manipulatable in this regard. With time, that came in handy.

I've also discovered this but I can only admit it to my closest friends else I'd be labeled a psychopath. There are things that trigger these kind of feelings in me, but it's more about situations than images and never in remembering something.

I do have a feeling that we might be more susceptible to do really nasty deeds if push comes to shove (Nazi Germany?) so I think it's something we need to be careful about as we can be manipulated into doing things that other people might find gut wrenching just thinking about.
> "Free" housing isn't charity or magic. It's a public service paid for by society for the benefit of society. Feel free to criticize the core value proposition, but please don't paint it as some impossible fantasy.

I understand it's a service paid for by society. I think it's great that you think that too! A service provided by society is not a right though. I'm all for creating a lot of affordable housing, as soon as we define what "basic" means, and agree to who will pay for it (likely us citizens through taxes) and what sort of requirements there will be to be allotted some of this "free" housing.

If we take "basic housing is a right" off the table and replace it with "as a wealthy society, we should levy taxes to provide housing to everyone that wants housing," that's something I can get behind.

Stop calling it free. Stop calling it a right. Then I'm on board
A popular use case for SaaS companies isn't even in utilizing Zapier themselves, but rather adding their API to the list of integrations. This can really speed up onboarding for customers -- especially if they already use Zapier.
> The centerpiece for W's first term was the No Child Left Behind Act. Many described it as the No Child Gets Ahead Act..

I think most people who look rationally at the NCLB Act can see it was an awful idea. If you have schools that are already struggling, the answer is not to take money away and make it _even more difficult_ to get their kids educated.

> I've heard of that partcular move by NYC and I'm not a fan. I imagine the net effect is that it will drive those with the means to put such children into private schools instead. If you're low-income you don't have this option. How does this benefit anyone?

You hit the nail on the head here, and what you've identified is that class is the much more pertinent issue.

Folks need to be vigilant with social justice initiatives right now. Some people care about making legitimate, meaningful change. Other people use racial justice as a cover to do stupid crap like they're doing in NYC.

>Usually if official statistics and what you see are misaligned, its the official statistics that are wrong.

Nope, a few people's unmeasured selection bias is no where near as accurate as a professional methodology done like the official numbers.

>there is a huge incentive to keep the official numbers down

Also false. If the numbers were gamed, there would be significant arbitrage employed in markets to extract value from the lie. There are ample papers analyzing this, and no one has found a way to do it, since the numbers are the best possible.

Also the numbers are done in many places, from Goldman Sachs, to the Billion Prices project at MIT, to the Bureau of labor and Statistics, and so on.

If you really think the numbers are gamed, do this experiment (I have, it's easy to do, and then you'll never claim the numbers are gamed again since you methodically checked them).

Take BLS listed inflation for a decent period of time, say 20-30 years. Make a basket of goodssplit by how most people buy: energy, housing, food, eneterainment, etc.

Pick a list of goods, say same sized apartments, houses, foods, etc.

Look at prices now. Write them down. Hide that list so you don't cheat.

Look at ads from the beginning of the period. Get prices.

Compute.

Now add say 1% to BLS annual inflation numbers, and compute.

Viola! BLS and rest are very accurate. People's unmeasured selection bias beliefs are not.
Fusion 360 is Qt? I didn't know.

BTW, I use Fusion 360 for power modelling (hundreds of thousands of triangles) and while it's slow, it deals with nearly every problem I have well. It looks like most of the underlying compute is single-threaded and often blocks the UI.

lk-overlay contains many different projects

using the vc4-stage1, vc4-stage2, and rpi2-test projects together, you can do the entire boot chain (dram init and loading linux) using open source code

other projects act as demo's or tests on how to run custom code at various stages, but not actually boot linux on the arm core
many of those demos work on the the entire pi model range

pi3 support is only broken due to arm side problems, which could be fixed by just using a different bootloader

and the https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware codebase can already boot linux headlessly on both pi2 and pi3, it uses a different arm bootloader

So you're right, there is probably a blindspot here.
Good faith sounds definitely more fit for a kinder and more open environment.

However, there were no such "kind" environments a few centuries ago. Yet they managed to be bootstraped against their surroundings. So maybe there is clues that we underestimate the strength of "high-skilled good faith" strategies in adversarial situations?
But again, I can't really imagine what it's like to live in authoritarian states so my thoughts must not be very relevant here.

This is more about how what you can remember about an event after five seconds differs from all that you experienced, as opposed to what you can remember a year later. I think most people can give a word for word summary of an utterance after a few seconds so this particular experiment doesn't really have any bearing on your relatives claims, which are more about recall from long term memory rather than working memory.
The most impressive part here is the "decompression" imo. Computers are already being used to do stuff that's more or less similar (creating apps, 3D models, pictures, videos from code) but the speed at which a human brain does it is incredible.

It can be pretty inaccurate, though, adding extra objects/words/feelings/circumstances that literally were not there :D
Zapier is really awesome for the non-tech crowd. I think this space is only going to continue to grow. I decided to build https://atlasconnex.com for developers who need more fine-grained control, but don't want to stand up their own infrastructure. The project is recently launched, so the number of connectors is growing rapidly. One my favorite (again, I'm the developer!) connectors is the "build your own" connector. You define a Python function and declare a period for it to run (once/min up to once/24hrs) and then you can do basically whatever you need inside that function. So if you need to poll an API endpoint, or pull a file from an SFTP server etc., you can create events based on that data that are then processed through transformers and filters and then delivered to their final destination.

Cycomanic pointed it out thoroughly enough that I'd only be repeating what they said.

One of your bigger tells however is how you never actually defend your positions. You only attack the others' opinions. You constantly require everyone else to be on the defense while never actually defending your positions yourself.

It is funny that you don't know who first discovered it, but you are positive it wasn't the Greeks.

Regardless, the Egyptians may have only discovered part of it. As far as I know, they didn't have any mention of triangles which is a rather critical part.

I don't know about the Babylonians but given your assumption about how much the Egyptians knew despite there being no proof it doesn't look promising for them either. I would welcome any actual proof you have though.

How do you know it was the Babylonians or the Egyptians? Why couldn't it have been somebody prior to them? You said it was written about extensively in India. How do you know it wasn't the Indians?

For that matter how do we know Greeks prior to Pythagoras were not the ones to discover it? If the Greeks discovered it and Pythagoras popularised it then the name would be fitting. You have to remember absence of proof is not proof of absence so you can't just say we can't find any Greek writing prior to writings in Egypt or Babylon.

>This also helps solve a whole host of other issues you might not believe exist

I agree that attributing the Pythagorean Theorem to the Egyptians would solve racism. /s

In all seriousness it wouldn't solve any problems if we said the Egyptians discovered it.

>Racism is a form or subset of bigotry.

If you look closely you'll notice that this isn't how extremists (on both sides) use the word. Racism to them means something closer to oppression (similar to the Marxist idea of class oppression.) The idea itself, the way it's used by extremists, is bigoted.

I wish the moderates arguing in good faith against bigotry would stop using it. It has an ugly genocidal history going back to the bolshevik revolution and the Holodomor that followed.
So many comments about Raspberry Pi Foundation being a charity here, and therefore... Let's just be clear, it is a charity and owns Raspberry Pi Limited. The profits from RPL help fund the charitable work done by RPF.

It's like complaining that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was funded from profits from Microsoft, and therefore Windows should be FOSS software.
But the flying buttress solved a need. They wanted to build higher because they wanted to celebrate god in an even more glorious fashion, bringing in more light, more stained glass, more people in front of the altar.

The difference with modernism, which is really a mindset, and so deeply seeped in we barely recognize it anymore, is that technology, in and of itself, is a value. That is why we have the flat roof in Scotland. The value is not keeping the inhabitants dry, or being mindful of long term maintenance issues. Technology, especially high technology, demands its application. That is modernism. It's a curse.

Contrast this very clearly against humanism. Man is measure of all things. Not, as in modernism, that man should adapt to the measure. It's not that technology wasn't valued, but only as a tool, a means to an end. Or a means of understanding, a metaphor. The telescope is an implement of science, not a fetisj. In modernism, the tool is fetishized. The concrete that enabled shaping walls at large scales, now must be everywhere. Why, why would a living space demand that it be harsh, and in odd large shapes? It does not. But because at one point reinforced concrete was high technology, it must. It's a very infantile mindset, like a toddler, who has similar infatuations.
> Both ends of the political spectrum (the far left and the far right) express this view. Both sides believe that “the other side” simply can’t be trusted and therefore cannot be engaged in good faith. To do so would be to fall into a trap, serving only to validate the dangerous views of groups known to be acting in bad faith.

This is what I'm most tired of. Anytime you try to point this out one of these two groups will respond with, "both sides, both sides" like some edgy teenager sitting at the lunch table looking for a confirmatory laugh from their friends. People love this world that's developed to some degree; that's what the real uphill battle is.
When running away from a tiger, the best strategy would be to move faster than the tiger. This, however, is not always feasible.

A "good-enough" strategy would be, simply, to move faster than some other guy. This can definitely be achieved by running.

Having that in mind:

0. Russia does not need the best hi-tech army in the world. To win, it just needs to out-gun Ukraine.

1. If it takes 100 Russian "tin cans" to destroy one Ukrainian tank, and Russia can produce 101 "tin cans" to 1 tank Ukraine can produce, the strategic balance is not good for Ukraine.

2. Russia produces its own armor, guns, planes, and SAM. Ukraine does not.

3. Russian materiel-producing plants are not under any danger of bombardment. Ukrainian plants are.

4. Russian population is 3:1 to Ukraine's. "Russian losses are twice as big as Ukraine's" is, tactically, nice "feel-good" news. Strategically, that's terrible news.

5. Finally, shall we talk about Russian nuclear arsenal vs. Ukrainian nuclear arsenal?

I'm not old - 28 years old, worked in tech since I left school at 19, and my first job was still wiring routers and building servers (like, physically ordering the parts and building them in a lab).

Switzerland and Norway at least would very likely accept such rules and implement them as well.

I'm Swiss and at least in Switzerland such a rule would automatically apply unless the population would do a referendum. And that would lead to a public vote that would almost certainty lose.
By that argument, all knowledge and belief and fact is the aggregate of individual opinion, so nothing would be objective.

More likely there is a continuum, and more reputable places have more objective (and hence less subjective) output than less reputable places.

In my xmonad setup only one window (and thus screen) has the focus, so I would need to hit the key that switches focus to my B monitor (for me that's Mod4+e, B monitor is Mod4+q) and then Mod4+3.

True about indexed access; some other window managers have natively built in "tagged workspaces" where windows have tags and the "chat workspace" is just "all windows that have the chat tag". You can (probably? I've never used them) bind numbers to tags permanently or temporarily but you wouldn't be limited to 0-9. I never bothered trying to copy that setup in xmonad because I never used more than 5 or 7 workspaces.
Yep, and all the solutions that treat bits independently are some combination of xor/xnor/not/identity. They can't get very long (certainly no more than 23 operations) without repeating some pair of numbers, hence being trivially reducible. The two shortest solutions are pure xor or pure xnor, so in some sense any not operations are also extraneous.

>May I ask why? He always struck me as someone a bit disconnected from how humans actually work

While it's popular to dump on Corbusier today, especially with the hindsight of history and what we know about urban planning now (and I mostly agree with it), you have to look through the lens of what he was working with at the time. City centers were areas of blight, not hip places with third wave coffee shops on them. Waterfronts were dilapidated docks, not pleasant beaches with views of the sea.

On the flip side, cars were new, shiny, and free of any of the negative connotation we see in them today (traffic, pollution, noise). Any infrastructure built to support them was fresh and efficient.

It's no surprise that you'd have some people going all in on the latter. In hindsight, it turns out to be unfortunate that viewpoint won so thoroughly in the US.

I don’t know about your experience, but I grew up during the same time period. Tech was decidedly uncool, at least among my classmates. I don’t think tech became cool until the early 2000s when smartphones took off (specifically the combination of smarthphones and social media/communication). Now these things are so common place that I think they have ceased to be cool. It’s like considering a rotary or push button phone to be cool in the 1980s.
OP here, we actually considered using the GetPut/Putget/CreateGet terminology during a refactor, but it didn't seem to map perfectly. As I understand it, with lenses you generally define them through a DSL. Monocle lets you define them through example code. The goal was to make it as easy as possible for a decent programmer to write a lot of them. I couldn't find that type abstraction in academic work, but it's entirely possible I didn't use the right search terms.

A mechanistic view of the universe, taken up later by Christianity, is what allowed science (in the modern sense) to be created. Contrast it with a worldview in which phenomena occurred because of the will(s) of deity(s).

I've expressed it as "they worship a God with no name, no face, and no doctrine." I define "they" more broadly than i think "woke" usually means, but "they" are differentiated by denial of reality. Another common characteristic is ascribing their sins to their opponents.

I don't want to put names to "they" because that makes it hard to ignore that the only way "they" have power is because I am allowing it. "Evil prospers when good people do not oppose it." If I can name the evil and point to it, why am I not fighting it?
