> To me it was extremely easy to see what the therapist wanted me to say and say it.

This is easy with everyone, but seeing as you're the one paying for them to listen it seems a little weird to meta therapy like this. If you feel that need, just don't go.

> Sometimes I had the impression that I had to protect the therapist from the reality that some people have really, really, really shitty lives behind thei control and their thinking is not a cognitive distortion: it's the rational response to a disastrous situation.

Any therapist will explain to you that your environment and your behaviour (if they are as connected as you say) have to change together: The former because it is almost impossible to change yourself in an identical context, the latter because otherwise you will create the same environment in a new place.

From what you said, you had both bad therapists and did not want to participate in therapy. It's no wonder it doesn't work in that case, every good therapist will tell you this.
Accusing moots 4chan of swatting people is a weird retcon. I bet you can't name a single instance.
Not criticising this project in particular but I frequently find that Colab is just a way for people to get/be very very bad at managing build/deployment of their code. It allows hand rolling a bunch of adjustments to an environment that may only be barely understood and then simply cloning that poorly understood environment.

3/4 times I try to make/rebuild a Colab based demo from scratch in a suitable non Colab environment… the setup instructions are caring degrees of wrong. From the little mistakes like under specific requirements that are now broken due to transient dependency changes, to completely wrong because everything has changed to the absolute worst version of all, the never even written down.

I find Colab is a subtle form of lock in by providing useful crutches … by leaning on the crutches of Colab handing all this hard dependency and environment management stuff you never need to learn how to do it any better than necessary to function on Colab… to draw a somewhat nasty analogy using terminology from the DevOps world, good dependency and build tools make a folder full of code like cattle, you can blow it away and rebuild it when you want, but Colab let’s you raise a pet by hand and then just magically clones it whenever you or someone else need a copy.
I had this problem, it would charge and detect the keyboard was there (on screen keyboard wouldn't appear, but keyboard didn't input anything), It was down to the clip around the pins not being clipped in, so it was effectively pushing the case away from the pins. I had to give it quite a squeeze for it to pop in.

Although to be honest, after using mine for a month I gave up for various reasons such as upgrades breaking things.
I would think for research publications the tool for the job is latex?

I'd guess as something of a decentralized reminder that they exist. If you pick something that has no prior associations and is uniquely identifiable to your company, then it will only come up in conversations related to your company. If you pick something that has prior associations, frequently occurs in unrelated speech, and is easily confused with an existing topic, then it comes up in unrelated conversation. The common usage can remind you of the company and bring them to mind, inflating their apparent reach.

I see it as a weaponized version of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, and think less of any company that does it. But I still think of them, which is an acceptable trade for unscrupulous branding.
That feels off. It’s like me saying I don’t know English. I merely know the correct alghorithm to give the correct responses to things people give me as input.
I sometimes wonder how difficult it is to strike the right balance.

When I was in US high school, so much time was spent focusing on the atrocities of the US that many of my peers left with the impression that the US is a horrible country not worth fighting for.

Interestingly, activating that feeling of nihilism is the goal of Russian propaganda in the US.

The average amount of total tx fees per block in the third week of April was about 0.06 BTC [1], 2 orders of magnitude lower than the 6.25BTC block subsidy. Note that a 51% attacker is free to time their attack to periods of low tx fees. Since then the average has climbed to about 0.15 BTC per block, but that is still a far cry from the 1BTC you claim.

I have no problem being full stack, as long as I have a stronger specialty within it.

My current team expects us to be full stack supporting multiple stacks. They constantly wonder why things go so slowly (especially with me, based on my review). Um, hello, do any of my managers remember your business classes? Specialization of labor leads to gains in efficiency...

Telegram isn't really any better than FB Messenger
It does not require an external observer. I believe the author does acknowledge it, writing "because consciousness is independent of EXTERNAL observers" (emphasis mine) or, even in the sentence that you quoted, "does not depend on OTHER observers".
It's a good article in many respects, but its logic unwittingly falls down when they try to have it both ways, advocating for an outcome that is functionally impossible. From the article—

"It’s great when Apple chooses to defend your privacy. Indeed, you should demand nothing less. But if Apple chooses not to defend your privacy, you should have the right to override the company’s choice. Facebook spied on iOS users for more than a decade before App Tracking Transparency, after all."

The important thing to appreciate is that App Tracking Transparency isn't something Apple can enforce with code. It's not an API or operating system feature which shields users against tracking. Enforcement is purely the threat of retribution by Apple, made legal by the terms of the agreement which all developers sign. Apple's monopoly on iOS app distribution means that a wilful breach of Apple's privacy policies is a dangerous path for any developer to take.

I cannot see any plausible scenario where an Apple made impotent through legislation could possibly result in a net gain of privacy control for consumers. And even if there is a better way, how about we get that working BEFORE tearing down the current imperfect system?

That paragraph is a layer cake of wishful thinking. How does the EFF propose to enforce a consumer right to override Apple's choices over privacy within iOS? This kind of rhetoric is unhelpful, eliding reality on so many levels. The notion of consumers self-policing their own privacy is a nice sentiment, but as an idea that must be implemented in reality... rather optimistic.
It's a bad saying either way. It's too context-sensitive and riddled with semantics to draw anything of use from. Sibling comments already showcase this.

Not only that, it doesn't take into account you don't jump from 0 to 100 in a single go. It's more of a curve where you'll be decently productive early in the journey, and spend most of your time getting the remaining 20-10 figured out. And with most companies generating pretty decent profits, I'd wager being halfway your full productivity is already close to a net profit for most established companies, which negates the entire "the company runs at a loss for several months!" spiel.

That's not to mention that saying makes it very easy for companies to deflect responsibilities onto ICs, as if expecting everyone to know everything is "just how it should be".
> It's not the full stack engineer that's problematic.

It is the problem. They ask for everything. No human can be that except perhaps some incomplete human who has traded their humanity for tech, learning and never going out (I briefly worked with a couple of these, I don't envy them).

It's like asking for a full-stack "vehicle" - car, ship, lorry, tractor, rocket all in one, it's not happening. Idiots.
I also prefer your comment to the post. The most successful people in business I know are very bright and hard workers. I like the fact that the writer of the original article is showing some humility. I don't think we should signal however that anyone can succeed in business by bluffing it. I say, have a go at business but don't give up the day job if you can't afford it.
Author here: I am daily driving a Purism Librem 5 currently (in order to write a proper review about it).

I have carried the PinePhone as a secondary device for a long time before, and I tried it as a main phone for a week twice (late 2020, April 2021) - things were too crashy for me back then (and the slowness admittedly annoyed me, too).

A Reddit Community poops for purpose
If you put your poop into an airtight container, it decomposes using a process called anaerobic digestion. This creates biogas, which can be used as an energy source. It is a big business, countries like Germany have around 10000 commercial biogas plants in operation. But also smaller tanks, sometimes smaller than an oil barrel, are often used to power off the grid and rural communities.

The composition of the organic waste along with a whole other slew of environmental factors has a massive impact on the energy generated. But because few bother to experiment, on an industrial scale current feedstock is often limited to well understood "safe" substrate such as maize or corn.

This is something a Reddit community now aims to tackle.

Anaerobic digestion of organic matter is well enough understood, that key components of the process can be described by more or less complex mathematical models. This opens up the possibility to find suitable candidates for new substrate purely through mathematical modeling. This is comparable to the automated drugs discovery process nowadays explored in the pharmaceutical community.

Using BioNet, a software modeling the anaerobic digestion process through simplified but established algorithms, a lot of the preliminary investigation is conducted. If suitable revelations about the anaerobic digestion process are found digitally, the hope is to be able to replicate this in a real biogas tank as well.
Critics are doubtful of the validity of any revelations gained through this endeavor. According to the community, skepticism is warranted. But the successful applicability of anaerobic digestion models in the past raises at least the prospect that digital models are a worthwhile addition for any researcher in the field. It's similar to how computational fluid dynamics have augmented real wind tunnels in the design of a vehicle, they say.

BioNet and related software do not offer any fundamental new capabilities. But they simplify access to complicated mathematical models, that previously were only reserved to researchers in the field. Making science more open and accessible, is one of the fundamental pillars of biohacking. Because even though vague guesses exist, much of the work is still trial and error. And trial and error benefits from great participation.

In my experience we've got these two options here:

- socialized dentistry, where unless you're screaming in pain dentists take two peeks into your mouth and say it's fine and tell you to get out so they can take the next patient in the 200 person line outside (and shill their afternoon private practice to you if they happen to be the more shady type)

- private dentistry, where they'll always find something random that somehow materialized out of thin air since you were there 6 months ago to fix and bill you half your monthly salary for it, despite saying they fixed everything last time

Like, can we please get some fuckin middle ground...
I can give an example. My whole life I had avoided joining Facebook, even when pressured to do so socially. I just had someone from the group email me the FB messages that were important so I could participate in events/be informed. For another group, I persuaded them to post videos on YouTube instead of just on Facebook because the videos would cut off and not play through without a FB account.

But then, Disney's "inclusion and diversity" writing program application materials were only posted on Facebook, not on a website. And that was fine, if annoying, because it was publicly accessible, until the application failed to send, and the ONLY way they had set up to notify them of "technical difficulties" was to message them through Facebook. So now I have a Facebook account, which I otherwise don't use.
Are the dental guidelines any good though in the sense of people actually brushing their teeth and eating properly so as to reverse the damage? Dentists are one of the few professions I've found that will happily chastise their customers, and often rightly so, for failing to adhere to proper dental maintenance. In that case I could understand just going ahead with a filling even if technically and ideally the decay could be reversed, simply because most people probably won't do what's necessary.
Yes, sure. But this is not just random shop that happens to be dealing with European customers, it is an European city council. Is there any other place where people can and should call for enforcement?

It really depends on the line and the company. Virgin from London to Manchester is a reasonably good experience. Anything Northern (as a for example) makes me fume when I even think of taking any of their trains.

I am of the mind that consciousness is an emergent property of the various interconnected information processing systems of the brain. There's just too much evidence: for instance, changing the physiology of the brain through drugs or trauma has predictable changes on consciousness. From that perspective, I think it's pretty clear that consciousness is some kind of computation rooted in the physical world.

However to the question of whether consciousness is a classical computation which could be expressed as a classical computer program, that part is up for grabs. The brain processes information in a fundamentally different way than classical computers: it's essentially a massive dynamical system of many many variables all interacting with each-other in real time. It's entirely possible that, given the dimensionality and parallelism of the brain, that there's not enough material or energy in the universe to construct a computer capable of simulating the entire system in real time. Maybe quantum computers will be able to manage it, or maybe we'll need to engineer biological neural networks to get there artificially.

Or maybe consciousness is a thin illusion on top of a couple of clever tricks we have yet to figure out yet.

Anyway I hope we get a little closer to figuring it out in my lifetime.
Technically true, but unlikely.

So in other words, crypto is just like fiat --- it is based on "trust" in the Fed.

The problem is you can only evaluate them over years, which is incredibly sucky. I haven't found a solution to working out which dentists are actually the best yet, which makes me loathe to leave the one I have currently because it has been almost 10 years of good care (I can contrast with the bad ones that had fillings that fell out within 3-4 years etc.)

You don't need wasm for that, anything that just throws up a huge <canvas> in the browser will do.

What I expect wasm to do is to introduce new frameworks that take whatever the devs consider to be native behaviour and plonk it right into the browser. There are already plenty of demos out there that break the most basic browser features because compiling all of Qt into a canvas view can't possibly render a native experience.

Then again, we've lost the concept of "native" years ago when we started packaging browser engines with popular applications.

Soon we'll reach a stage where native code gets compiled to wasm, bundled with a slightly outdated copy of Chrome and sold off as a "native application".
> By the way how does the gopro work out as a webcam? Never thought of that but it might be an option.

It works very well. The newest versions can be used directly and natively in webcam mode. Possibly even wirelessly. I have a hero 7 black. I use a cheap adapter and it works flawlessly. One thing to bear in mind is processing power for real time is limited - you won't be able to stream in full 4k with stablisation and so on. But you'll get a high quality feed from a dedicated camera, from which you can tune exposure and so on. Also, the fisheye + different lens output selection is actually quite nice.

I commented elsewhere addressing the rest of your comment - selection bias here is extremely strong for "highly specialised tech nerds who care" when my argument is is "the world at large doesn't care".
