I don't have ADHD and yet I still do all of this. Removing all notification dots/numbers, no previews, muting channels, suppressing mentions in some channels, separating channels into "infrequent"/"team"/"org" sections and keeping some collapsed (looking at them once a day). On mobile removing notification sound, preview and also removing notification from lock screen (only allowing in notification center).

You can also set your status to permanent "responses will be delayed". No one has the right to my attention within a few seconds (except when oncall). I use slack the way it makes me productive.
I know right? I use ngrok all the time. I just happened to go look at their docs today and noticed a little banner with the announcement. I was quite surprised!
Slack sometimes feels like a party app than internal messaging tbh. Always feels in a community and in the moment, than picking up tasks and handling it. Maybe that’s what productivity means but just sometimes feels wrong.
Now consider the effects reported here on emotionally helpless/immature children and realise that adults fall victim to the same effects but express them differently.

Take the collective entertainment media engagement numbers and the fact that adults are no longer constrained by supervision in this regard and extrapolate the impact on hundreds of millions of adults times ~10 years for many billion experience-days under the influence of SM engagement and you'll get the perfect description of modern societal ills.

Reportedly twitter has more real users now than it’s ever had.
Yes, 2000 was by far my favorite Windows. Very solid, very clean style.
I have a burning hatred for the visual design of Windows 7 (and Vista to a lesser degree) - it may have been technically great, but the design felt appropriate for a toothpaste, not for an operating system. I could only stand XP with the 2000 style as well. What the hell were they thinking?
Yeah same thing with digg. People kept saying after v4 they were going to tank.
Heh, I can't say I've ever been to a communist reading group. I've had some people tell me that my boots are for communists or for lesbians, but that doesn't bother me. Such associations are silly memes.

You're right that I don't care for the style of their UK made boots. I like their brown burnished leather "crazy horse" boots, or ones styled similar. Their UK made boots seem to all be black, red, white, or brown but suede (which I don't consider durable.) These are bolder / punkish designs which I don't care for.

If you can suggest an American brand that holds up to Doc Martens, maybe I'll buy those in a few years instead. But I think most boots are made in China or some other country with exploitative labor.

You were the only one here suggesting people with HIV were relevant to quarantining. So since neither I nor the CDC thought that was a good idea, then either you did or it was a straw man.
Here is my best guess at what will actually happen: Elon will find a friendly investor who will value the equity at non-zero, despite creditors needing to write down the value of the LBO debt.

That friendly investor has to know they are shoeling the money into an ongoing dumpster fire. But it will hold off the creditors for one or two quarters.

I am trying to figure Elon's debt capacity. The most recent info I found is months old: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2022/04/28/elon-musk-...

That article claims he has already pledged more than 90% of then-more-valuable Tesla shares against loans. When do margin requirements start to pinch?
There is no PII in these transmissions. You clearly have no idea what this actually is or how it works, you’re just looking for reasons to defend Musk. Bizarrely.

> you're just trolling. That's not how the GDPR works, you don't get to make any kind of case at all. The government will when they eventually get to it after clearing decades worth of backlogs.

To “make a case” for something means to provide a persuasive argument for it. If I had meant pursuing a lawsuit I’d have said so.

Oh, this will not be the last time you hear stories like this.

Twitter is not paying anyone it owes right now. Not even paying rent for their offices.
This is so true though.
I agree. Of all the TV I've watched in recent memory, I continue to think about Severance all the time. To think I only watched it because of the Parks n' Rec guy!
To me, this feels like you're criticizing kids for being kids. You grew out of it, so will they.

It also might be you projecting. It's entirely possible they genuinely enjoy their choice of clothing and literature and it's not a performance.
It took me way too long to understand it as well. And the fact that you press backspace _instead_ of a character, instead of allowing backspace to be pressed at any time (which would turn it into checking if B is a subsequence of A I believe).
McSweeney's is sometimes very, very good.

I'm skeptical of "explainable A.I." in many cases and I use the curse words as an example. You really don't want to tease out the thought process that got there, you just want the behavior to stop.
So Wright's Law applies to batteries but not to nuclear power?
They also happen because when people are deeply committed to being “in-the-know” at the expense of sounding rational, it’s a fairly cheap way to feel like you know something that the sheeple don’t ;)
I'm going to go against the grain here. Yes, I believe self-reviews are stupid. Frankly they indeed serve as a cheat-sheet for your manager, which is a sign that they are so disengaged that they don't even know what you're doing.

Don't fight the game though, play it to win. Throughout the year, I keep a single note open "Accomplishments 2022". I simply add my accomplishments to it, typically as a weekly summary. Plus anything notable, process improvements, innovations, overtime, compliments from peers, the like.

All of this adds up into a war chest. During the actual performance review meeting I come armed to the teeth. This is how you flip the script. I don't need to explain that I deserve a great review, my manager needs to explain the opposite in the face of a mountain of evidence.

The individual accomplishments don't even have to be earth shattering, just document them consistently. The total amount of them will be so overwhelming that nobody is going to bother taking them apart.

Learn to write corporate speak: "Improved automated test coverage by 40% to support our do more with less corporate goal, freeing up resources to work on value-adding services". Whilst this was just me editing a file for 20 minutes.

You want red tape? I'll bury you in it.

Mix it with psychology. Act modest and humble despite the boat load of evidence of good performance. As if it "was the least you could do", radiating supreme loyalty. A minority of eager managers might still throw in a point of critique, feeling they need to do their job in providing some balance to this review.

As the critique hit, look down and pause for a few seconds, make it awkwardly long as if the air is sucked out of the room. In this period, the manager is going to feel awful, thinking they just deeply hurt a great worker. Then, respond with "I hadn't though of that. That's very insightful and something I surely will integrate into my work to do EVEN better, going forward". The word "even" is important here, as well as "going forward". Managers love going forward.

The manager is now relieved that the air is cleared, plus feels very smart. Be sure to already open a new note "accomplishments 2023" and at the top, in bold and red write the critique. Then, in next year's review start the session with "Really loved the suggestion made last year and here's how...blah blah".

It wasn't even a serious remark, they just wanted to say something. They forgot all about it. But here you are fully remembering it and acting upon it, which is somebody nobody does.

And this is how you corner your manager.

Same diagnosis and exp here. Welcome to notification hell. Problem is all of these bs communication apps are treated as synchronous instead of asynchronous and managers think it helps when in reality it causes distractions, extra stress and loss of productivity.

Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2022?
That makes a lot of sense, I would be keen to see attempts at that.
> Twitter is going to implode soon.

Sure. Real soon, this time!™ Like it was supposed to implode immediately last month, yet it didn't and nothing happened.

So once again, what we are seeing here is a manufactured storm in a tea cup peddled by emotional techies defending the lack of enforcement of illegal content like child exploitation and CP being spread on Twitter for years.

I guess those angry about that can find such content very easily on federated social networks. Not on Twitter this time.
But then there's the anxiety of waiting like 4 hours, opening it, and seeing a bunch of critical messages you weren't around for. I need either a robot that will gently tap me on the shoulder and quietly tell me to check my notifications, or somehow relay the badge to a collar on my dog so he can bark at me. The badge is the worst. The sounds are the worst. At this point I rather just have a landline people can call me on with a voice machine.
Exactly. Worry about saturating when we are actually close to that happening.
The instructions call for 6 servers/roles. Seems like rather a lot for something like this. This looks cool though. Not sure why you wouldn’t be able to use a single host with LXD containers though in lieu of the multiple servers.
Yes, when you're editing a remote file, using commands to access a shell or browse directories will open a shell in the remote system/browse remote directories- it all feels the same as working with local files.

Something I have yet to try is using an lsp server with a remote project. I'm not sure how some, like the rust lsp, that need the whole project (at least w/ emacs it doesn't yet support isolated files), would work.
That's excellent, I have been sad to see Ghost lose support for SQLite[1]. I have been running a blog on it for years, works great.

If you're using bash, you'll need a to use HISTIGNORE or HISTCONTROL environment variables to do this.
Take a look at php-fpm. It works with all the major servers and let’s them do what they do best and offloads the php requests to php when needed. It also has better caching and overall performance than mod_php since it’s a long running daemon.
I think people were happy with NT4, 2000, Windows 95, and possibly Windows 98 as it had a fair number of technical improvements over Vanilla 95 (OSR2 brought in support for >2G drives for example but it wasn't until 98 you could use it properly)

From memory XP was the first "phone home" windows version which required some form of online registration. I stopped using windows at home or admining it around then.
> Kind of. They don't so much "answer" questions as search for stuff. Current models are giant searchable memory banks with fuzzy interpolation. This interpolation gives some synthesis ability for producing "novel" answers but it's still basically searching existing knowledge. Not really "answering" things based on an understanding.

I don't really get this line of reasoning. e.g. I can ask DALL-E to produce, famously, an avocado armchair, or any other number of images which have 0 results on google (or "had" - the armchair got pretty popular afterwards). I can ask ChatGPT, Copilot, etc, to solve problems which have 0 hits on Google. It's pretty obvious to me that these models are not simply "searching" an extremely large knowledge base for an existing answer. Whether they apply "reasoning" or "extremely multidimensional synthesis across hundreds of thousands of existing solutions" is a question of semantics. It's also perhaps a question of philosophy, and an interesting one, but practically it doesn't seem to matter.

If you believe there is some meaningful difference between the two, you'd have to show me how to quantify that.
I'd strongly recommend the Inherent Vice movie; a neo noir detective movie featuring a hippie detective nearly too stoned to keep track of a particularly LA conspiracy.

I feel like you don't understand how exoduses work. It's not an "all at once from one day to the next" thing. The scales we're talking about cover hundreds of millions of people; it's nearly impossible for it to all be the same month, let alone the same day.

For example: Despite wanting to, it took me a month and half to migrate to Mastodon, for a variety of personal, irrelevant reasons. And I'm a techie. But now I'm there, I've unfollowed large amounts of people on Twitter, and am phasing it down entirely.

In the mean time, Mastodon gained magnitudes of users. Servers previously running fine are now overloaded. Services are shutting down to new signups left and right because they're overwhelmed.

When this happens, people notice. You should know: you're in a community composed of the kind of people who make their millions noticing trends like these and quickly jumping on them. This means more resources go into these trends, and it becomes like a wave: Every few weeks, there's a new large influx of people.

Every new "round" of this exodus, servers will be more ready, there will be more services, the social graph will be larger, and more people will be convinced.

Will Mastodon ever be larger than Twitter? No idea. It's definitely possible, but knowing in advance is not.

I can say one thing: I'm glad people are taking notice of the importance of decentralized social graphs again. It's nice to see, for once, an open source protocol growing organically and winning hearts and minds.
A lot people on Twitter seem to believe he is enrolled in PIA.
> This is a great review but it still misses what seems like the point to me: these models don't do any actual reasoning.

Hmmm... I have seen multiple examples of ChatGPT doing actual reasoning.

Have you considered that you might just have a Slack problem? honestly.

Labels can be dangerous and polarising - individual psychology and behaviour fall on a nuanced multidimensional spectrum, and I think these labels target such a large range and severity of behaviour that they have a high risk of conflating symptoms with completely different causes. Combined with misaligned intensives to sell drugs, I'm highly sceptical of the majority of diagnoses.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, but it turns out I was just a stubborn child who disliked accepting the seeming illogic of the written English language where other kids are usually less questioning and do what they are told, compared to truly? or "more" dyslexic people who genuinely struggle with placing letters in the correct order rather than merely bothering to remember them. This is the danger of diagnosing what is supposed to be a neurological disorder through relatively subtle behavioural symptoms.

It's completely possible to exhibit "ADHD" symptoms from an unhealthy work life... WFH and covid has caused instant messaging like Slack to take centre stage in all communication, and that has definitely messed with a lot of people's ability to focus on their work, myself included. I've had to take some quite extreme measures, making sure it's completely closed between certain times (not in away mode, but actually not loaded, unreachable). If there is an emergency, people have your phone number, sometimes you need time to yourself and that's when people can wait, unless it's an emergency.
Set your slack notifications to email then you have async control to follow up in between work.

Hey, I didn't know about this command, neat!

On my laptop, look `time`s at ~10 ms (for comparison, the Python "binary search" script `time`s at ~50 ms).
40% of electricity may be produced by gas on a given day, but that 40% is being produced mostly at night - which is is not going to be displaced by further investments in solar. "Base load" isn't a reference to generation, it's a reference to demand. Base load refers to the load during the lowest period of energy demand in a 24 hour period. Unfortunately, load peaks when solar is producing no energy and load at its base when solar is producing the most energy [1]. Without storage, these excesses of solar production when load is at its base cannot be shifted to the time when load is at its peak.

Renewables look great if you just look at generation. But the goal isn't simply to generate clean energy, the goal is to displace fossil fuels. This is why non-intermittent sources like nuclear and hydroelectricity are, contrary to your assertion, far more valuable for decarbonization.

It seems that we are perpetually on the verge of the next big wave, the next scary variant. I am always told by administrators that cases are rising even though I am having trouble finding patients on the floor with covid.
Sure, spend money on solving energy storage even for the 99% case and I'm all in!

That would be agtual R&D and not putting another round of subsidies in the nuclear companies pockets.

I don't think I buy this argument. ChatGPT seems to understand how to reason about a large multiplication the same that a 6 or 7 year old might, and I would expect a 6 or 7 year old to make similarly large errors. No one claims that 6 or 7 year olds are unable to reason.
Is it still possible to use Reason as frontend for Ocaml 5?

Musk's most recent verifiable act related to child exploitation enforcement on Twitter was disbanding the council responsible for it.

I've learned it works great as a counterpart - you can say "I don't think iterating that is efficient, what if we move the file handle outside"

It can somewhat reliably pick up if you're on the right path or not

I don't know, is it a trick... or is someone buying into it completely looking to be fooled?
I would personally be in favor of a ~5% flat tax on corporate revenue across the board if it meant replacing the convoluted profit-based tax schemes that currently exist. The costs of compliance and "tax minimization" are already a couple percent of revenue for many companies, so replacing that cost seems very reasonable.
