Oddly, I ran into this yesterday. I wanted to cancel a flight and called only to be sent a text message with a link to the online chat.

I started chatting with the agent but the response times were super flow. After about an hour, I had to sign off. My interpretation of their cancellation policy was wrong and had I understood it better I would have changed my flight instead.

I like Frontier for a budget airline but am not sure I will spend $1k+ for tickets for the family without having access to even mediocre customer service.

Well, good luck enjoying anything when you're surrounded by environmental feedback that points to its futility.

Picking up hobbies so that you have a socially acceptable excuse to interact with to people is ass-backwards.
Multiverse is just the null hypothesis. Whatever you want to call them, the pieces of reality we call the wave function and entanglement exist. If you want to assert extra mechanisms in order to claim measurement isn't just the lab getting entangled then that's fine, but the positive assertion requires positive evidence.

Whether or not the multiverse is ontologically real or just the simplest abstraction that works is irrelevant. Dogmatically holding on to collapse as a concept without evidence is the position that is ascientific.
Any waterfall attribution of budgets can be made with an little more than an Excel spreadsheet ;) but, to keep secrets, maybe they have to invent a special decentralized protocol. I’m sure someone is getting the same budget from several entities, and perhaps owns an island to spend it all.

>In 1997, Werner Herzog was in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts asked him, Whom would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda. Onoda was a former solider famous for having quixotically defended an island in the Philippines for decades after World War II, unaware the fighting was over. Herzog and Onoda developed an instant rapport and would meet many times, talking for hours and together unraveling the story of Onoda’s long war.
I've never understood people keeping enabled notifications which are not directly for them (like for email/IM/SMS messages and own calendar reminders).

Must be people with a lot of spare time with nothing to do or someone who doesn't know how to disable notifications (I was just yesterday configuring mother's phone disabling notifications after she asked me to disable her lock screen completely since she doesn't use any PIN anyway, she stand no chance with this option buried in hidden Developer options). It's odd to see someone who is neither of these groups keeping them enabled, honestly Notifications should be permission each app should explicitly ask with reason why it needs them during launch and they should be disabled by default.
You're the only one introducing "Toxic Individualism" in this thread.

I wonder what do you mean by it?

Because, just as well, there's an aggressive collectivist movement which directly attacks individuals (and individual choices).

It's really easy to switch from "I like to do my things alone, let me be" to "society is evil" after having been made a pariah by the "collective".

Haha, it's actually the exact opposite!

The more lonley you are the more you psychologically adapt to it. You reason about or do whatever to make sense of it. Some people want to be alone but no one wants to be lonely. If you are lonely it isn't because you want to be.

The longer you are lonley, the more you need to reason about and adapt and get used to it and you will lose or won't gain neccesary skills, knowledge and character that helps people gain and keep company.

It is similar to how rich people tell poor people to save up, work harder and stop buying avocado toast so they can get rich what you are saying, like they think the poorer you are the more you will get rich or something. Povery is expensive and loneliness likes company.

Generally speaking, it is called the vanishing finish like (I think there is even a wiki page for it). The longer it takes, the longer it is going to take.

People who are unemployed or out of a relationship can also testify to this, the "feast or famine" phenomena where if you already have it, it's easier to have more of it.

Personally, I don't know about a cure but probably the more you realize your mortality and how you need to appreciate now and today, I think that helps get a better perspective and lets you enjoy the few days you have on earth with or without company.
Well even a literal god can't cure loneliness.

Sort of agree though I would argue "joining an exercise group" is a healthy way to create shallow connections with the aim that one or more of them becomes deeper. Finding deep connections is difficult and requires significant effort from at least one party. You have to work at it. And attempts to create shallow connections shouldn't be dismissed because you generally can't try to create deeper connections in isolation and separately from trying to create shallow connections.

The difficulty of growing a shallow connection into a deeper connection is a large part of why so many people are lonely. We can't just ignore shallow connections because it's unrealistic to only ever aim for deep connections. Connections are experiments that grow.
Just note that it will also shrink the print.
Deep connections evolve from shallow connections, yes?

There's that whole thing about long journeys starting with a single step. Got to start with meeting people somehow.
Because we could vote out the the whole sham if we united one day. But the powers are always dividing us while giving us the illusion of choice which is their fabricated narrative. An independent could technically win and wipe out the whole system in a poof.

It was Munich - and it only happened once.

I shared the excitement, but as so often it was only executed half-way. In essence, instead of recreating processes from the ground up to fit the new reality, they tried to make everything as beforehand. Unsurprisingly, that was a huge uphill battle - in the end they spend more money than beforehand and had a lot of trouble in maintenance etc.

(Regarding the 2020 public announcement; nothing has happened since then IIRC so I would not count that in - just talk no actions)
Why would your connections in an exercise group have to be more or less shallow than anywhere else?

In fact, this recent NYT article was about an exercise group that fosters deep connections: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/24/us/f3-workout-men-texas.h...

(I imagine some might balk and say that's not the type of group that interests them, but it does seem clear that at least for some, an exercise group does help form these connections.)

We were using different definitions of compact. I assumed you meant compact enough to form a black hole.

You have not explained sufficiently about the maximum mass limit, there are plenty of suns that are enormously massive, but they're not black holes because heat is keeping the density from increasing.

The same thing would happen with a quark star or a strange star, the degeneracy pressure would keep it from ever becoming a black hole, at least until the pressure was overcome but we don't know what that pressure is.

What I'm saying is we cannot distinguish between a black hole and a quark star, not with our present observations.
I would bet they'll figure it out eventually, but probably not as soon as they would have otherwise.

i’d like to hear more about how Xi is influencing the HN perception of these things. it seems a leap to go from “American HNers disagree with many actions by their own government” to “they disagree with this primarily because of foreign influence”. i think the simpler explanation is that there’s a lot of idealists here who take more of a moral absolutism view of things than is historically practical for a state to do: “this anti-China policy Y is silly because US also does terrible things relating to Y”, not caring (at least publicly) which of the two parties is a worse offender to Y.

The most important thing is removing cars. Get people to walk, you’ll visit more local places and see more local people rather than a random arrangement of people all over the place.

You’ll also bump in to people while walking which doesn’t happen in cars.
Sort of a toxic article, possibly written by a person who thinks they know how people work. However, the writer ignores complexities of humans, and ends up being a rather poor judge of character. (See what I did there)

Anyway, snark aside, most people who are changing jobs do so after a long period of deliberation, and when they have made a choice, they will stop taking new responsibilities. Because taking new responsibilities when you know you're leaving would be unprofessional.

If someone is good at what they do, they will seem like dead weight on the day they leave. But if you look a year to the past, there should be a different view of accomplishments.

Of course, this is not the only explanation for this situation, but a common one.

There are many ways of understanding the world; rational thinking is only one of them. Note however, that the kind of theology that organized religion is usually known for is a kind of, perhaps misguided, rational thinking. The real core of religious thought is closer to direct theophany.

(Note that a genuinely rational account of theophany and such is quite possible, but only at a meta level. The way you directly engage with such things is what leads to the distinction I'm referencing here.)
To make deeper connections, you start with shallow connections.

In school you made friends by first going to the same school so you were around each other long enough to become friends.

It’s the same with anything else. You have to consistently be around people long enough to get to know them well enough to make deeper connections. Inviting them to grab lunch sometime. Go to a movie. Play poker, bowling, golf, etc.

Certain exercise groups are exactly like that. Cross fit groups, F3 groups, etc. They are very social.

Groups that have a schedule and regular attendees are the easiest place to start. At first, you’re going to be the new guy but the longer you attend the more comfortable you’ll be. You have to stick to it.

Probably one of the biggest reasons we see more of it is how much people move around for work, away from their established family and friends. Deliberately solving this is hard since you will always feel like an outsider in a new place.

> I agree with this, but I also think this is such a “peace time” opinion.

It is, and the two examples below aren't comparable, you want a real-life recent example?

Look at Hong Kong and Taiwan: since at least the early 2000s after the hand over to the CCP in 97 many in HK knew the writing was on the wall of what Life would be like (look at films like 10 years for the most stark and sobering use of foreshadowing I have ever seen since maybe the works about East Germany). In the case of HK you have an affluent, highly educated population focused on what you think most modern developed nations seek: careers, status, salary, etc...

Their fight was a valiant one, starting in earnest in 2014 with the Umbrella Revolution, but the sad truth is HK was never in a capacity to thwart a real attack from the CCP in any real capacity since it's population didn't have any combat training or knowledge beyond the ad-hoc problems solving they were left with, coupled that with being unarmed and then seeing how Russia has invaded Ukraine and you can see why a similarly affluent and well educated country like Taiwan has had a massive up-tick in civilian combat and weapons training.

I'd hate to even contemplate what it would take to require the civilian mobilization in the US as even a thought exercise because f the obvious realities, but at that level I think we saw enough evidence from COVID how polarized people are in Society that I doubt how effective that even would be, and that is not even mentioning how unfit people are to be of any use in such situations given how prevalent obesity is in the Country.

> Again, I agree the draft is immoral, but so is war.

This is the conclusion any sane person comes to, and you'd think during/after COVID we would have come out with a better understanding of just fragile our World really is and how quickly it can turn to utter chaos because of unnecessary fragmentation that you'd think we would collectively regard War as the scourge of Mankind and yet some how it persists. It wasn't long into 2021 that Israel and Palestine were starting to kill each other again.

The REAL question is how to render War moot in modern Society, and my only conclusion is to elevate all of Humanity's standard of living such that they have a greater vested interest in stability and diplomacy as the sole form of conflict resolution rather than default to our basic instincts of tribalism that always leads to the perpetual senseless destruction of people and property at the behest of a political class and a few multi-national weapons dealers who profit from it.

If War is indeed immoral, than one has to also realize that War is the health of the State [0].

Just for my own Reference, the link [1] below, 8000hz is 0.125ms. And they show 0.2ms as reference. I believe ( Need to Check up on this ) even with USB 3.0 you will require custom driver to achieve 30-50us per packet transfer.

So that is about 0.175ms.

I know people might think this over the top, but AFAIK this is far cheaper than say to work around latency within the software system. Next we need to work on Display Latency and Display Connection Latency.

> Oddly, doesn't directly argue there's no cure for loneliness, just outlines the sad extent of loneliness today.

I think this is kind of a saying among medical professionals, and we probably all agree there is no medical cure for loneliness.
this is a proper risk assessment
I wouldn't say being younger is necessarily more valuable, it's more that there are many reasons not to sacrifice yourself totally in your prime (in terms of health / fitness, sexual appeal etc) just to be wealthy and "more comfortable" in retirement.

We of course can't trade our older years with our younger years.

For me personally, I'd much rather have spent the time with family, travelled to the places I wanted, slept around and worked on things I found fun than to slave away, just to save for a greater comfort in a future that is uncertain.

Of course I still hope to be comfortable in retirement, but without a doubt I would regret having chosen a certain path that would lead to comfort than a slightly less predictable path where comfort is not guaranteed.

I strenuously disagree about what you're saying about relativistic point of view. It is not merely a mathematical calculation it is a description of reality. From our point of view if something has not happened then as far as we are concerned it has not happened in reality.

In a different reality, i.e. in a different point of view, it may have happened. And this is not a contradiction, it is merely the way the universe works.

And not only what can we not see beyond the event horizon, as things approached the event horizon they slow down tremendously. Even at quite a distance they slow down so much that our lifetime is insufficient to see them change.

In our lifetime it is impossible to see black holes merge because the time dilation is sufficient to slow that down to imperceptibility.
My wife's closest 10 or so friends are all from school era, 20+ years ago.

My close friends are all people I've met as an adult - I'd consider them deep friendships: we've travelled together, catch up regularly, know each others' parents and kids, discuss the issues of the world, etc.

But, like school, you need enough time around a common place or interest to develop all that. In my cases, it was usually shared, social offices or having friends in common.

Deep connections start superficially.

I moved to Bali over 1 year ago, knowing only a single person in the entire island. Now I have dozens of good friends there. And a handful of them I consider really good friends with whom I have a good connection with and shared very intimate and vulnerable moments. These relationships keep growing overtime the more time we spend together.

Some friends I've met at the gym, others were my neighbors, others at BBQs, others at an acting class... The list goes on.

Maybe out of topic, but socializing is a skill. And it's sad some people associate socializing with = people pleaser. Learning to socialize is learning to engage with others and put yourself out there. Whether you do it staying true to yourself or not, that's another thing.

But going back to the main thing: Deep connections don't happen out of thin air, and not without effort.
In the fix, they have padded.
instead of padding, do we have compiler directive,
that forces the a variable starting using a fresh
cache line (instead of putting it in the last cache line?)

Reason I am asking this, it will make the fix independent of
the architecture of cache lines, size of cache lines.

Also, the compiler directive/annotation would help
developer to use it more liberally when they think,
