In most basic terms realizing that you’re watching a movie.

Observing your mind in certain ways, focusing your attention in certain ways results in perceiving yourself as more than the thoughts, emotions, and the general fluctuations of the mind.

There are gazillion ways of meditating. Try as many as needed until one clicks.
listening for clicking might be a better choice:

1. mouse doesn't have 'actively listen' for mouse movement

2. unintentional-clicking is much more rare
Let me guess, unions would stop the corporate corruption? How are the two issues (corporate corruption and unions) related?

Because i was asked to point out corrupt unions therefor by showing that corrupt corporations exists they "cancel out" one another?

I'd look at US laws to determine why no one was ever prosecuted. In each of the examples you provided it is clearly US crimes and the US justice systems failures?

> we managed to create a society that allowed Einstein to exist

What society was that? Germany under the Kaiser was a very mixed bag running the gamut, for sure. Einstein spent a lot of time living in his own mind rather than in the world around him. He found it preferable to leave his native country behind more than once. We don't know which changes to society would give us more like him and which fewer.

> But my problem with what you quote and what I replied to is the anti-capitalist, if not anti-imperialist/anti-western, undercurrent.

I followed a few links here and there on this topic, and somewhere I found DeLong suggesting that he used to be a little closer to the thoughts you defend, something like 'the world keeps looking more like what the lefties said it was than like what I thought it was.' It's a rare person who can update their thoughts based on such observations.

I can't accept that DeLong is anti-capitalist. He identifies the creation of corporate research labs as one of the very important new factors producing the sharp rise in prosperity starting around 1870. Not all who walk their dogs on leashes are anti-dog.

DeLong is an economist, a student of the problems of humanity's production and distribution of goods and services. He sees, in retrospect, a system that has succeeded spectacularly at production but not equally well at distribution, to the point where the distribution problems are producing side-effects and conflicts that are impairing and may ultimately reverse the benefits to production.

> make it happen in their own country and in their own way

Except that one of the other very important new factors producing the sharp rise in prosperity after 1870 was globalization. The advantages of globalization have made self-sufficiency a fool's errand. International cooperation, organic or hierarchical, has too many advantages to be tossed away according to principle.
But you CAN choose at the individual level. If the server you are on doesn't implement your desired policy you can move to another or host your own.
That fits with the analogy that I use, that psychedelics are like a helicopter - they allow you to zoom out and realize that there is a path to the top of the mountain (assuming you're stuck/walking in circles). But once the effects wear off it's up to you to remember where to go
"You hire models and influencers"

The influencers can also be generated by AI (or even just 3D modelling), since so much of the marketing is digital. And it's already happening (mostly in asian countries):

These videos are just demonstarting the concept design part created by something not even designed for this specific use case.
It's true that making a product from a concept design is another problem. But it's not hard to imagine that AI could be trained specifically for this on actual design plans and using physically accurate cloth simulation in the training loop to generate something that could be actually built. After all if AI can improve protein folding predictions why not cloth folding :). (OK, it' not completely the same but both are about 3D structure).

We already have some pretty good sub-millimeter level cloth simulations (not using AI but could help AI):

And of course people are excited when they have a new tool they can use, they try to find more usecases for it and some will work out some not. In this case they even have the open-source blueprint for the tool so they can finetune it for their own ideas.
From Wikipedia:

Collodi often used the Italian Tuscan dialect in his book. The name Pinocchio is a combination of the Italian words pino (pine), and occhio (eye); Pino is also an abbreviation of Giuseppino, the diminutive for Giuseppe (the Italian form of Joseph); one of the men who greatly influenced Collodi in his youth was Giuseppe Aiazzi, a prominent Italian manuscript specialist who supervised Collodi at the Libreria Piatti bookshop in Florence. Geppetto, the name of Pinocchio's creator and “father,” is the diminutive for Geppo, the Tuscan pronunciation of ceppo, meaning a log, stump, block, stock or stub.

It seems to me there's a lot of cultural references here that are elided for non-Tuscan audiences. I imagine that could be frustrating. I think it would not be easy for Americans to be sympathetic to this kind of thing.

Hey, this is a cool song. It's a bit how Europeans can feel about American hegemonic cultural dominance: https://youtu.be/Rr8ljRgcJNM
Depends on quality of simulated display, and how many.

It might be the display bandwidth that gets in the way, but if I could get N simulated arbitrary resolution displays that can be moved in AR fashion, I'd pay a lot more than $1000 for portable 8k virtual displays.
Prompting an AI to make a picture seems comparable to paying another artist to make a picture for you with prompts, and I would personally consider that situation similarly ethically unacceptable for submission to competitions.

There's a sucky debate here to be had which is the same debate about originality in songs made of samples from other songs, and I guess we'd probably end up at "I'll know originality when I see it", but this to me underscores the importance of watermarking/fingerprinting generated works. I guess that that ship has sailed, however.

Worse for me is the fact that he did not clearly disclose the fact that the piece was generated to the judge at submission time.

Maybe digital art competitions are over.

Pharaohs Tomb stands out in my memory. An early apogee game (pre commander keen) - I haven’t played it since floppy disks came in two sizes, but man was I into this game https://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/pharaohs-tomb/
I'm at a full time gig right now for various reasons but it depends on how many clients I want to have at once. I tried to limit to a handful per year, and the last year in which I did contracting I was working less than half of the year -- but by choice.

Dry spells are planned, as otherwise it's difficult to line work up as often times scope changes during an engagement.
I'm not suggesting they are unable to bill 20 days per month if they want to, I would say they probably choose not to on average across the whole year. I certainly don't like working absolutely every weekday, and I take time off periodically. Working a bit less is one of the huge perks of being a contractor.
I would be surprised if anyone was under the impression that the purpose of a livestock auction was … to raise pets?
The Gist's contents apply to macports too, but instead of only clobbering /usr/local or /opt it does both.
If they are at all representative of the party itself, their views were also different in the past. The views of an average republican from 2006, on many, many subjects don't look much like those of an average republican from 2020.

It's the consequence of a big tentpole party embracing it's loony fringe. Many party members will change their views to whatever the party tells them, even if it tells them that black is white and down is up.
Japanese businesses often are like this. Every major decision requires 100% consensus and agreement before it is accepted and things move on with the full force of the organization. One person disagreeing can hold things up and especially if it's a senior member of the team.

I worked with a Japanese division of Hewlett-Packard and it was just like this. But sometimes sillier/stupider.
There are plenty of things from the past that are absolutely real. We have tons of physical evidence for settlements all over the world throughout history. I’m sure there’s more yet to be discovered. But until we discover it, it’s just hearsay.

There may well have been a real place that inspired Plato’s mention if Atlantis, but only one. Not the many hundreds of possible locations suggested over the centuries. They can’t all be Atlantis, if any of them are.
If I'm developing services, I just write Go. I have a lot of Linux experience as well. I'm comfortable reading and patching pretty much any language.

> Evidence from the Roman cartographer Ptolemy suggests the coastline 2000 years ago may have been some 13 km further out to sea than it is today.

This sort of stuff doesn't get repeated often enough in this day and age, we live with the illusion that the sea levels as we now have them should remain the same over the next centuries no matter what.
>anxiety has been a constant through my life, and molly showed me what it was like to not feel it

This is so interesting to read, because I had exactly the same experience - primarily with social anxiety.

I sat on a hill at a festival with a friend after taking MDMA for the first time and imagined just walking up to a food van and ordering food… and didn’t feel the automatic anxious reaction.

It showed me what was there, and what life could feel like without it. I found that it started a positive feedback loop afterwards, where I’d do something social and automatically steel myself against the incoming anxiety… only to feel none! It was absolutely beautiful.
why should I care if its in /usr/local or /opt I thought that those are the standard place to put third party unix software?
But don't you think people in Germany are more aware of the issue and more willing to find ways to actually solve this problem?

At least in Berlin there's been big movements towards controlling rent prices, building social housing, socialising the current housing that exists. Etc.

So although it is a problem, is it going to be a problem in 20 years? What's being done in the USA, as a counterpart, to solve these problems? Everyone talks about unaffordable housing in the USA but their zoning laws are still horrible. So any changes will have to go through that first.

In that regard, I think European countries are in a much better standing to solve these problems.
There's a difference in several orders of magnitude, to me, in adapting an unknown stage play into a movie (for example) vs adapting Tolkien.

In the former, you could argue your own creative vision might be "better" (in the loose sense), given the lack of popular success of the source.

In the later, it'd be a fair amount of hubris to assume you can make something more beloved than Tolkien's works.
The better option than unions is better unions. They can be meaningfully improved, especially given the large number of highly suboptimal unions.

There's a big difference between "wiggling the mouse", and having a non-zero reading from the mouse. With sufficient sensitivity, a breeze or vibration can cause the latter, but a wake-algorithm should be able to distinguish the two.

Not dumb but "dumbed" down to target a certain age group. And I agree that they can try to be "smart" but there's the practical aspect of it - they are competing hard with many streaming platform (and many will fail by the time this industry stabilises) and talent is at a premium, thus the obvious compromise to go for the easy and more assured targets.

I perceive some of my privilege, which is that I am not subject to non-white racism, etc... I have a few crosses to bear otherwise (autistic, bipolar, chronic illness, immigrant), and I can relate to being in the minority quite well too. This is actually why I find intersectionality a productive lens. I can be both privileged and discriminated against at the exact same time. I can be both respected for my technical skills by virtue of my looks, and in the same field be discriminated because I communicate differently. Being white doesn't shield me from all discrimination, but it shields me from some.

I think the lack of scrubs of SpaceX launches mostly comes from Falcon 9 being an absurdly powerful rocket with great margin of safety for the payload/missions it takes. Thus it can often launch in sub-optimal conditions, still complete it's primary objective -and- recover the booster.
Brew uses /opt by default as well (but it wasn't always the case, and it used to symlink into /usr/local too while keeping the actual files in the Cellar).
I was thinking a similar thought that 4096 seemed quite magic (although it seems to be chosen based on research) and that RB perf could probably be tuned based on the workload
Great idea. So you weight x10 the EV as +1 point.
>I see this common theme among very fast practical algorithms (like timsort or pdqsort) where there is not some secret math or algorithm, rather they are just a bunch of special cases based on heuristics

The core here, which is bitmap storage and the basic optimization are simple, but solid and general. Mathematically it takes less space to store data as positions on a bitmap rather than fully spelt associations, and it takes even less space to seggregate the bitmaps in chunks.

This will hold and be smaller and faster in any computer. So, it's not some case of special case based on heuristics, either related to the specific frequencies or sample characteristics of some particular set of data, or of specific CPU peculiarities or whatever.

More exotic optimizations piled on top, sure. But "compressed bitmaps" themselves as a concept, not.
Think you’re under estimating the scope of possible queries.

For example, say there were only 5000 keywords and only two in any order were allowed at a time, that’s 25 million possible queries.

Next, who would “fill” the gaps and with what? Obviously, current dataset is from an existing collection of images and is then automatically processed. Even in that limited set, there billions of images and 10s of billions of words.

Each time the set is training, costs 100s of thousands of dollars.

Not against your idea, but just throwing out ideas without understanding context likely won’t get far, especially if you’re not contributing to it actually getting done; talking about the logistics, implementation, politics, etc - not simply flagging a prompt as bad.

Most the prompts I see users doing to me seem like they don’t understand the prompts they’re using; aka they randomly find something that works, but it actually was just random luck. Point being fine if you system was up, how would you know the issue is not the end user just spamming random words, not understanding how to build valid prompts?
It didn’t. It wasn’t sold because the girl backed out. The auction chose to ignore that.

FWIW, using the `--force-bottle` flag will force homebrew to install its existing pre-built packages into a non-standard path you've configured instead of compiling them from scratch, and I've never run into an issue with a package doing it that way.
There is a class of light vehicle which sees widespread use in service applications in resort complexes, university campuses, and even mine sites (polaris ranger), and I guess they could do a decent job. These vehicles are not an opportunity for any automation except maybe general collision avoidance, however, and don't do super high volumes, so I would say perhaps not. It would be better if Tesla sold mini battery and drivetrain kits to manufacturers, I think.
Yes now. Series A is harder to raise but 2M seed rounds are still happening. 1M seems pretty standard now.
On SIP-enabled systems that can't really be done anymore. But on Linux (LinuxBrew) that can definitely happen. The brew link system is supposed to help with that, but there are no guarantees.

Every employer tries to game those surveys, I have little faith in them.

It feels more like the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, to be honest. Immature men going nuts over a new entry in a franchise that they have fond childhood memories of, simply because the new entry is "same but different" in a way that touches certain insecurities.

(To be sure, I doubt that an Amazon Prime series can reach the quality of "the" LotR adaption, ever. But the hysterical screaming about the series is just childish.)

Cause "disciplined approach" is euphemism for "deadly boring stripped of anything fun or even punitive". Kids are not offended by these approaches. But they tend to check out and get bored.

I am arguably middle class. I did put a lot of effort and money into making reading fun and interesting for my kids. They do read a lot now. The parents that made it about discipline (I know some) have kids that don't read voluntary. Go figure.

Just like success with the other gender (or whatever you're attracted to), this doesn't mean much about your self worth.

As a hiring manager, I'm desperate for good talent. For the company that liked you, ask if there's other roles in the organization or to be considered for future rounds. Can't hurt, but don't hold your breath. Laws often prevent honesty in rejections.

It's extremely difficult to find good people. Even the most prestigious companies with the most stringent hiring processes are filled with people who shouldn't have been hired. Half the time I hire someone, my workload increases rather than decreases.

I finally find a promising candidate, only to have FAANG come in and offer 50% more than I can. Significantly more than I earn. I try to compete by offering a better work environment, team, and growth. But 50% is life changing. And while I've helped so many grow, they leave holes when they do.

So I find myself questioning my life and worth.
I was going to say that recent installs have switched to /opt/Homebrew, but while digging up supporting evidence I noticed that they bizarrely only do that for arm64 installs: https://github.com/Homebrew/install/blob/master/install.sh#L...
/opt by default is for M1 and later based Macs. intel based Macs still use /usr/local.
It's not written as if Homebrew developers are forcing you to use it. It's written from the perspective of someone who doesn't really want to use Homebrew but still does so as a result of some decision calculus but finds it frustrating to use. If you find the tone to be too aggressive or unfriendly, that's fine. But also, in the same token, I don't think it's fair to invoke the "you don't have to use it" argument for fairly reasonable frustration. It's also not obligatory that anyone take someone's rant personally, after all.
