Effective approaches to this I've heard of involve learning to treat the hallucinations with respect, learning to communicate effectively with them, and learning from them. This is reflected both in how some tribal cultures approach hallucinations & modern approaches to schizophrenia and the like. Avoiding these things by medicating them away seems like a form of suppression that preserves the underlying thought/behavior processes (like avoiding one's fears of monsters or death) that are feeding into the hallucinations. Effective solutions usually don't pathologize or avoid experiences.

If we get caught up in judging what's real or imagined, then we can lose sight of what's available for us to learn from.

The App's current owner(s) pay, of course. For traditional "installed" Apps, this could easily be the current (and new) end-users of the App. For a purely hosted app (eg. an App that serves web clients), hosting must be arranged.

If the App has no revenue model to pay for hosting, perhaps don't use it (embed it) within your app? That would be a risk.

If you "fork" it, then you're responsible to host it -- if it isn't hosted by each client App installation already. The "forked" version of the App hosts its own DHT, so its data is completely distinct from the original.

So, yes: there are decisions to be made, but they revolve around long-term viability of the encapsulated/forked App -- not the fundamental possibility of doing so.
Off-topic: hi, I've read in an unrealated thread about your heart problems. Not knowing more and not knowing how to contact you, I'm trying this way - have you tried plant-based diet for a limited time (2-3 weeks should be enough) to see if it would improve your condition?

UI problem in the game: I kept clicking the "incorrect" image, even though it says to "select the design that is most correct".

The game is basically "find the problem", after which I really want to click on the thing I found and am currently looking at, rather than on the things I didn't find.
Heck, even Windows 10 does this. I don't mind the weather icon in the taskbar, but sometimes it changes to news or market data, which is exactly what I do _not_ want to see when I am playing games on my old Windows machine.
I was once upon a time plumbing together an ARM matrix multiply backend for an on-device neural machine translation engine.

The objective was to get something working for the Mac M1 (which none of us had at the time). So I'd just cross-compile targeting my android phone, download built binary using wget on tmux and then run it to test if it's working. I remember I could build just the matrix multiply library locally on termux as well (after getting cmake and build-essentials via `pkg`).
Sorry I must have assumed you were dissenting with my stated views. But I now see you're actually not saying much at all so I'm having difficulty understanding what views are behind the statements regarding the feelings you've expressed.
I mean yes and. There's an entire industry of restaurants that cater to providing food to workers in business districts. They move to where the people are. I don't think suburban neighborhoods having hyperlocal businesses would ever be considered a bad thing.

You may want to reconsider, or rather, consider the value of your own time.

If you value your time just even a little bit, consider how many of those tools are multipliers.

Obviously not 'JIRA' for a single dev, but in many cases JetBrains is worth it.

Would you wear Basketabll sneakers out for a jog? Well you could, but if you're going to run buy a pair of running shoes. Probably once a year. Costs about the same as Jetbrains for a year - as a very crude analogy.

At least in some cases.

Similar make by the same brand here. I have been wearing it for five years without issue.

It's also a fairly inexpensive watch, so it's no big deal should I lose it. (I have no sentimental attachment to mine.)

A downside I see to smartwatches is they feel outdated after a few years. With this, you make the decision to stick to the basics, but hopefully you're not generating any more waste for the next 10-15 years.

That's an election, not a referendum.

And to be quite frank, you are probably thinking of the Provisional IRA when you put legitimacy in quotes, where as this was the original IRA, who basically have nothing in common with the Provos (as they were called when I were a lad) except the name.
I think it would be a good idea if they made an app with more info.

I believe it's the second article popular on HN about this exact issue in less than 1-2 weeks? It seems if you're a blogger, bashing MS is a winning formula. Having lived through the "MS is evil" years I'm sensitive to when others are given a pass for similar, or worse behavior.
Exactly, that and issues like the lack of greenery that's consistently linked to poorer mental health outcomes, increased stress, etc.
> "The only good thing"

The good thing is that in dynamic languages (VBScript, Python, PowerShell) you can instantiate COM objects and call their methods in a couple of lines. I have never held the "oh but COM is badly designed and complicated inside" complaint in high regard, because the alternatives are either: it should be easy for programmers and if it's hard for users who cares, which is worse, or if it's not easy for programmers it shouldn't exist at all, which is also worse.
The VS.Code UI felt far more intuitive for me, but I switched to PyCharm because it is far easier to set up and maintain than a VS.Code environment.

> You can buy, sell, combine, or split their risk profiles in different manners to get properties that are useful in different scenarios.

I would contend that the only reason things like options, futures, etc. are actually useful in markets like, e.g., the stock market, is, in no small part, due to the highly liquid nature of the underlying. Since the underlying is highly liquid, these derivatives are highly liquid, and therefore we can actually use them for things like de-risking. Of course, people on WSB still gamble using options, but basically they're meant as a hedging mechanism.

Even though these "financial primitives" on the blockchain are neat from a technical standpoint, they tend to blow up precisely because the markets are not liquid enough (so second-order effects are amplified).

And plumbing and wiring a building is vastly cheaper than building a new one from scratch.

Most modern office buildings are already designed so their tenants can orient the space however they like, Including adding/removing walls and plumbing/electric

If you can buy office buildings at half the valuation of a similar square footage residential building, converting it will obviously be profitable. It was already profitable in many cases pre Covid before office became severely depressed. The valuation gap between residential and office has probably never been wider
Didn't Microsoft and Apple both do this in the early-Mid 2000's? I believe Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both 'retired' but were both brought back upon poor performance?
I agree! Let's just not give Apple or Google a free pass.
I designed and wrote most of FindYourSpot.com, a tool for finding the best place for you to live based on your interests. A subsidiary of Microsoft wrote about us in an email newsletter and we went semi-viral for about 5 years beginning in 2000. One cool thing was if a person answered the first question on our quiz, 70% would finish the 10 page quiz composed of 70-130 data points.

I also designed software for managing auctions, which was in use for 15 years.

Did a similar thing for youth livestock shows which has now been in use for 30 years.
pictures please! :)
The article mentions that Microsoft is also promoting third-party "common websites", such as Etsy and Twitter. This seems a bit problematic -- if they're paid-for placements then they are unambiguously ads, but if they're not paid-for placements then one has to wonder how much damage they'd do to Etsy or Twitter competitors.

(They also look pretty distracting if you're after your recently-used files and already know about these websites!)
It's also incredibly lonely at times - despite being constantly surrounded by people - which I figure can warp your mind much like too much solitary confinement can. I don't say this from personal experience (un)fortunately, I say this as someone who has a family member that is a confidant of a billionaire from the middle-east (whom I'll refer to as Bob.) The family member is one of their close staff - travels with them everywhere and is in close proximity, daily - and possibly their most intimate friend as a result of this close proximity for the better part of 40 years, and the below.

In Bob's life he is surrounded by sycophants waiting for handouts, never wanting to be seen to annoy Bob nor lose his favour. Bob does not know who to trust. He has had those that he considered real friends and deeply trustworthy turn out to be thiefs and liars. A former school friend was secretly living in one of Bob's holiday homes _for years_, successfully evading detection by Bob by using his friendship to know where and when Bob will be. He was using his ties to Bob (and Bob's success) to gain favour in his own business and was using some of this money to bribe Bob's staff into silence. Apparently the friend went full "villain in disguise reveals his secret vendetta" when Bob asked if the friend needs help. Bob was heartbroken.

Maids, servers, and other staff are stealing things all the time - Bob maintains and reviews an inventory of stolen property with his security detail, with monthly targets... theft of his belongings is an ever present cost to Bob.
e
Bob's own family live an excessively sheltered life. His young children's best friends are their personal body guards - former military personnel that must be present around the clock as a stipulation of their kidknap/ransom insurance. This isn't a perceived threat, either. Bob's eldest son was abducted on at least one occassion, by a policeman no less.

Bob's life is managed for him. His staff manage his diet, his wardrobe(s), his social diary, of course his work engagenments take him all over the world often with little notice. He is never entirely certain where he will be and when. He is a slave to his diaries.

Bob spends the majority of his birthdays alone, on the phone to my family member, often crying about how lonely he is.

All that for money seems like a lot to sacrifice. There's also a fascinating effect that happens when the cost of things are literally of no consequence. Sentimentality is the only measure of value and material objects are just.. nothing but utilities.

Anyway, I would safely assume being a billionaire is not all doom and gloom, but it certainly has a different set of life-problems.

Average commute time in NYC MSA is 37.7 minutes, longest of any major MSA in the country. DC MSA is 35.6 minutes. Only ~23% of NYC have commutes longer than hour, and ~18% in DC.

(Note: statistics are using 2019 data, so doesn't account for anything COVID related, and people who don't commute are excluded from the statistics.)

> "Why do I think that? I claim that a brain is purely an information-processing machine. (If you disagree, your counter-argument should probably start by outlining some proposed input or output of the brain that it would not be possible to encode numerically)"

A 'model-constructing machine' has to be included as a submodule of the 'information-processing machine', doesn't it? The information coming in is all sensory - signals from optical nerves, auditory nerves, and tactile and olfactory and gustoroy nerves. The information going out is signals to the eye muscles (where to look to get more important information), the vocal cords (to communicate), and all the other muscles - to move around, to use tools, and so on.

However this output is all based on the ability to construct a coherent internal model of the world around you (this is perhaps clearer if you consider the difficulties blind people have to overcome). This occurs at a low level in all animals (as for example, hand-eye coordination, or a bird catching a fish). Consciousness could even be defined as one's own awareness that one is constructing a model using sensory information, and that it's possible we could be getting the model wrong (due to poor information inputs, i.e. reading unreliable historical narratives etc.)

Thus an artificial human-level consciousness would have to be aware that it was constructing this model of reality using information sources that might or might not be entirely reliable - and it would also certainly require some degree of autonomy, i.e. the ability to use that internal model to have agency in the world - to move about freely, speak, decide what to look at and - perhaps most alarmingly for some - decide freely what instructions to follow and which to ignore.

I strongly encourage you to visit Northern Ireland and talk to people (even just see the peace walls) as this is far more like the 18th century than it is like the 21st (in the sense that religion/ethnicity/history is the predominant driving force behind voting patterns).
I don’t agree with this at all. It used to be that, for example, if you wanted to spell-check your word processing document, you had to select “Check Spelling” from a menu, and it would analyze the document and give you the results. Now it happens as I’m typing. There are numerous things like this that we rely on but have forgotten didn’t happen even a short time ago. File search is another. The metadata and contents of files is constantly being indexed so that when you search for something, you get results within seconds if not faster. I remember waiting for Windows search to find a file on a “large” hard drive. It was excruciating sometimes.
I wonder if back in 1990s people were as skeptical of the internet as they are of the metaverse/web3/crypto/autonomous driving today. All of the big money bets seem to be in these areas, and I wonder if there were a similar group of 4-5 industries that all of the money was going to in the 90s only for the internet to win out in the end as the best returns for investors.
The entire topic of the discussion was engineers buying their own work tools.

You went OT. It happens. No reason to be snarky about it.
Go into the office for enhanced collaboration they say. Everyone I work with is in different countries, so being in the office gains nothing. Being at home is much nicer.
So your original question:

> Why would anyone care how much gold the US government has?

was not intended to dismiss interest in any particular asset, but to ask why there isn’t an equal amount of interest in assets other than gold.

I can’t speak for the other commenters who raised the issue, but it’s presumably because the asset is far more valuable than the ones you’ve mentioned, and far easier to convert to other assets.

It’s also been used as medium of exchange or reserve currency for much of human history, so expecting people to dismiss it out of hand based on prevailing theories espoused by modern monetary institutions wouldn’t be reasonable.
This problem has been solved in numerous prior computer architecture most notably in the algorithms around leader selection in clusters or very wide distributed systems. The implementation varies from one use case to another but the point is the problem or solution is not new at all and blockchain is certainly not the earliest and most elegant solution for this.
Your own country disagrees with you.

Freedom House researches this exact topic and they're funded by the US Government. Their current chair is a republican but they're non-partisan.

Looking at their most recent data[0], we can see the US scored 14/16 in 2022 on "Freedom of Expression and Belief", meaning that 53 countries were better by scoring 15/16 or 16/16. Of the 27 countries that scored 16/16, 11 were European. Qatar scored 6/16 by the way.

When you look at the total Freedom Index, the US scores 83/100 which is good for place 62 and lower than most of Europe. Qatar scored 25/100. Here is a world map[1].

I was first given a laptop at 5. But I could not give that advice to anyone in 2022.

The world and the Internet is a different place now. Pedophiles and predators run rampant. It's just not possible to keep a child safe without being a total buzzkill.

And there are surely going to be people who believe being a buzzkill is necessary or even your responsibility as a parent to curb the content your child is allowed to see. I have no objections to that way of parenting. But my opinion does not change:

I can not recommend giving a child access to the internet from a young age. It worked back then. It does not work today. Especially since apps like TikTok completely ruin young minds, imho.
I agree third-party promotion isn't great, but what they're describing is what my browser already does (selling start page placement).
Your argument is that throwing a poll up on a website during the time that most people are not working is the same as gerrymandering.

good luck with that.
When it isn’t the primary or only way of doing it, it isn’t a model for if it will work economically. Which is why I picked that date.

That it was possible to do it differently earlier, and some folks did start transitioning, doesn’t change the fact that we don’t have much track record with it yet as ‘the way it is done’.

It usually takes decades for these things to stabilize into anything predictable.
Absolutely none of this is obvious.
The icon consistency check is subjectively scored, as the "correct" version is undeniably bad design.

The solid camera icon is off-center (it looks smaller, mangled), but the hollow versions of the mic and camera effectively communicate if they are "on" or not and are sized correctly.

I grew up in a cult that did very little harm to me and my family. I'd actually say I came out the better for having experienced it over the typical white middle class life I landed in afterwards and the childhoods relayed to my by my suburban neighbor friends.
> And no, I don't think HN is a cult or most startups are a cult.

On the contrary in the case of HN it fits most criteria perfectly

1. Elevation of someone to diety status (Graham, <startup founder of the week>)

2. Shunning outsiders (mocking redditors, another cult)

3. Enforced group think through shame rituals ("As a..." response posts, downvoting).

4. Belief that the HN system is superior to all other systems

HN, like nearly ALL modern startups, would qualify as cults. Remove the downvoting enforced groupthink and maybe I'd be inclined to agree with you. Until then, I refuse to. Upvote/downvote culture enforces the exact behavior required to punish and shame people with differing opinions into conforming. It's a sinister assault on human psychology and all sites doing this (HN included) should feel deeply ashamed. For being an alleged "libertarian/liberal" oasis in the middle of a barren internet desert, this place is far more like Jonestown than, for example, the philosophy department of a top 10 university despite seemingly every poster here believing truly they have 9e40 IQ and are one self help book away from unlocking literal gigabrain magic.
Harris does not think that and never said any such thing. You're literally making false statements and putting them in his mouth. Yes, he has discussed the social stratification of IQ scores. And for this, he's a racist? You just proved my point.

On the other hand, I don't think any other vendors aim for compatibility with CUDA. Intel is laser focused on oneAPI which is just SYCL iirc. Sure, SYCL is cool and all, but you cannot trivially translate most CUDA programs to SYCL like you can with HIP.
Sure. No one disagrees with that. But if you have the choice 5 years of no workable GPU. Or 2 year of no GPU, then have a workable opengl driver. And then after 4 additional years you have a vulkan driver.
