I have to say, the author's approach to showering is very Calvinist. People are enjoying showers too much and too often!

While I understand their concerns around energy usage, the focus and on water usage (or implied "wastage") feels, to me who lives in a very different country, rather odd.

That water isn't destroyed, it'll be back eventually, assuming we're not consuming fossil water.

It's definitely good to reduce excessive water usage, just from an infrastructure and sustainable water take POV, but this reminds me of the concerted media effort around climate change to make it the individual consumer's responsibility to reduce emissions, taking the focus away from the corporations whose profit has always come with an atmospheric externality...

In other words, if you want to save water in Die Niederlande, look at industrial/agricultural usage first, showers third, after "let's maintain pipes to minimise leaks".
We've used Solaris on x86_64 for very long, until Oracle effectively shut it down, as it was best platform to run high performance JVM jobs. Much more predictable and observable than on Linux.

But later Oracle shell out JVM/Solaris integration/QA team, and shortly after that discontinued Solaris for new hardware completely.

Linux it is now.
It is slowly decaying here, in a central european country with socialized healthcare. It isn't because of COVID or aging or anything like that, but rather because of a systemic 'privatization' where taxes collected via mandatory private insurance companies are used to fund an alternative privatized healthcare system that then offers higher pay to healthcare workers.

It’s called APL, it is incredibly effective, it won many awards, there’s a book about it called “Notation as a tool of thought” which is a bit dated but still highly recommended.

But it is not really compatible with modern programming languages and styles.
>The Nordics are small enough to country-wide standards easy.

Size of a country has nothing to do with this. Neighbouring Austria is tiny and is also federalized, with each state having several degrees of autonomy and potentially causing various bureocratic nightmares depending on what you want to do.

Same with Switzerland and its cantons.
Oh god so sorry! I meant useful. I found it useful to read of your personal journey.

Regarding Lithium for schizophrenia, I believe it's use only is to manage affective (mood) changes rather than psychosis.

Personality change is very hard to objectively consider. Personalities change with time, so it's harder to compare if a drug will alter someone's personality compared to being untreated for decades in an objective way.

All that said, it's commonly described that people feel different on some medications and I think that has to be accepted. Even if it's hard to objectively measure, and hard to quantify.

We often think of mental illness as distinct from personality (yet we also often see personality disorders as mental illness a paradox).

Of course then we should expect treatments will alter personality.

That said we seem to see personality changes claimed with a number of medications, from antiepileptics to statins used for cholesterol, and beta blockers.

"Is this really appropriate?," my mom to my dad.

"It's better than TV," my dad to my mom.

My 8-yo self rolling back and forth on the brown shag carpet wearing my pajamas in front of the wooden stereo console, warmed by the glow of the tubes inside, laughing with my dad to the pure comedy gold of Tom Lehrer's voice pouring from the speakers.

We didn't have fishing or hunting together, but Dad and I will always have those evenings with Mr. Lehrer and a sip of Balvenie.

My remarkable 2 seems to work for me. I am always struggeling with note taking. Some times, it makes sense to write directly at the PC, but on occasion pen and paper is the way to go. Problem with paper is that I tend to, either lose it or crumple it and it becomes useless.

With my remarkable I seem to be able to doodle notes better.

For doing homework with the kids, and especially maths, the remarkable is remarkable

we can burn through pages and pages of notes explaining and solving problems.

Using a pen and a medium you can write on is extremely useful, and until you can PAVE the walls with screen and make them as endurable as paper - I will continune to prefer pen + paper.
Exactly, we need more transparency.

> The free market would never, ever, ever have built a single plant if 99.9% of the insurance costs weren't fully socialized, however.

People do make arguments like this, but when considering 2nd order effects it is a weak argument. The same argument could be made for fossil fuels (which have substantial negative externalities) and powered all the gains humanity made in the last 2 centuries - demonstrating that the positive externalities are far higher than the negative.

The issue with nuclear is that the costs come in very clear events, where for most industrial schemes (like solar, coal or wind) the costs are extremely diffuse and are largely ignored. But it doesn't make sense to start pinning the problems on nuclear when the costs are probably smaller than the alternatives. There are some question marks when compared to solar and wind, but reliable generation capacity is worth quite a lot and people aren't taking the waste products of producing renewable energy seriously. (which sounds like a whine - but if we're going to go crazy about the issue of minute amounts of nuclear waste as people do then we can't give heavy metals a free pass! Or what they put in batteries)

> ...cost of cleaning up 1 Fukushima....

Raising the question of whether the response to Fukushima was appropriate. The response we typically take (again, citing fossil fuels) is to ignore rare problems when they are too expensive to fix. It is enough to swap in a technology that is much better than status-quo. It doesn't need to be perfect.

This part of argument that sounds good, but doesn't actually hold up vs an inspection of what we currently treat as acceptable in the real world. The damage of Fukushima left without remediation is less than damage nations currently accept without blinking. Just a little more concentrated.

> Especially when solar, wind and storage are all way way cheaper even before insurance risks are taken into account.

They said that before the Energiewende too, and now Germany is probably going to need to source some lubricant so that they can be comfortable while Russia has its way with the European energy grid. This pro-renewable argument has a long history of turning out not to be true when tested in reality and exposed to the actual demand people have for reliable power.

It turns out that "renewables are cheaper" - which was said when they started shutting down nuclear plants - was code for "we're going to buy a lot of nat gas". With discouraging results.
>Easy to forget that Alan Turing and a certain German called Konrad Zuse both get credit for having invented the modern computer.

Nobody forgot that, just that past successes are in no way indication of future successes.

Otherwise SV would have been in Germany/UK instead of California. But that hasn't happened.

Same how in the late '80s to early '90s everyone was saying that Japan's tech sector and economy would completely overtake the US's and yet that hasn't happened but the reverse happened. From then on US tech sector steamrolled everything. Will that last? Maybe, maybe not.
IMO, although I lack details of your specific situation, this has nothing to do with remote.

The lack of a culture of writing and async work (sending a well-researched email, setting the meetings agenda) contributes to this. In my experience, when people cannot be bothered to write their problems in emails/slack and prefer to always jump on a call, they are generally prioritizing their time over yours.
A bit wishy-washy, but the general point holds.

Since the 90s, I’ve been somewhat surprised to see the PC technology fail to really learn from how well humans have leveraged printed information that is embedded in our environment.

I figure screens and projectors are simply harder and more expensive than what would be required for the digital to get paper like. But still, it’s disappointing.

Incidentally, just watched a recent Bret Victor talk about his latest application of his RealTalk/Dynamicland system:

If your LCD is tiring your eyes, it's set too bright. E-ink has the advantage that it automatically shows the correct brightness for the lighting conditions, but there's nothing inherently less tiring about it. I have keybinds set to change my monitor brightness using DDC, so I can easily adjust my LCD's brightness as needed.
Thats true if HISTCONTROL is set to `ignorespace` or `ignoreboth`

The song "Big Car" by Severed Heads is about struggling with questions
of identity and where one fits in the larger world. [...] The narrator
seeks solace and reassurance and the presence of a "Big Car," which
appears to represent a symbol of success, support or protection.

Pretty sure the song literally is about being a car, waiting around for its owner.

The other songs I tried were pretty good. If one looks carefully, it is noticable that the interpretations are related more to typical themes related to the words, rather than the specific meanings of the songs.

Great project. Speaking of which, did anyone have the opportunity to get their hands on Samsung's ISOCELL sensor ICs, or any camera-modules that contain them?

E.g. the ISOCELL HP3 has 200 megapixels, 0.56μm pixelsize and 120 fps at 4K resolution.
Seems like we were the only ones!

I wouldn't have been surprised if there was more though. I think the kind of people on here probably think too much/overanalyze stuff to begin with and my impression is that trait doesn't mix super well with psychedelics.

At least I feel like the fundamental cause of my PTSD inducing trips is wanting to explain the inexplicable.

Hope everything's going well for you though. I think it's especially hard to have this kind of PTSD because people don't take it very seriously and it's either socially embarrassing or triggering to try and talk about it to begin with.

LoL ok, just that GPs have no shortage of patients, but the other way around so since they're on such high demand and in low supply they can get away with many things. The market is in their favor by far.
The issue is that capturing, storing and distributing potable water is very expensive and difficult in many regions. Famously much of Australia struggles often with not having sufficient fresh water during droughts. Yet we have it easy compared to many areas of developing countries.

Indeed, knowing what metrics need to be monitored is vital.

But to do that, you need to understand the system producing the metrics.
I've watched many Carmack videos over the years and he never complained about the team not following him or people working for him being not good enough, he always praised the work done and explained in very fine details why the decisions where taken one way or another.

When he wanted to remove a pebble from his shoe, he talked extensively of the company decisions, in the higher ups, which is more than fair given his role.

He never struck me as a "Steve Jobs of coding" (probably today Elon Musk?).

I also had several encounters with John Romero and talked a bit about the times at id Software and he never ever hinted that Carmack was problematic in any way.

He's also obviously not a very good politician/sellperson (he can't sell what he hasn't already produced or envisioned) and suffers bureaucracy, like every normal person here that is not a bureaucrat.

Anyway.

Regardless of the truthfulness of what you write, Carmack has always been able to deliver, both in time and as of code quality and maintainability, one way or another, Meta hasn't.

The evidence pile up more against FB/Meta management than against Carmack, moreover I think it's easy to attack the person taking responsibility in person than those hiding in the shadows, Linus suffered the same destiny, but he created Linux and brought it where it is now, the attackers didn't, so maybe Linus was simply right.
Fair question, but I'm also unsure how to answer it in a meaningful way. "Regular engagement" both to and from accounts of interest is probably a good start.
maybe we could focus in shape also, not only material.
It's as old as time, but TikTok/Musicaly was the first modern entity to use that as an entry point. The app is a 'fun dance app' where kids would do meme-dances for each other. That's naturally adjacent to the 'thirst trap' content - either by design or by fruition, either way they went full in.

To be fair, the alg will move away from that quickly (or at least it did) if yo don't linger. My feed moved onto cat rescue, farm life, cute kids and really arcane bits of knowledge impressively quickly.

I'm not sour on TikTok - I've discovered interests I never knew I had and there is something to be said for it. And it's not 'directly toxic' like Twitter etc..

I guess you still want well-defined semantics even if most users use some modes-based or other high-level api. Eg normal rust code gets to be ‘data race free’ but low level implementations of eg Arc could be racy if they were incorrect. But maybe the OCaml thing is more than just doing a good job of specifying semantics and there is some overhead in generated code because of it. I confess I haven’t looked into the details.
Which folks haven't mentioned yet, but z/OS is also a proprietary UNIX, albeit in a very strange way given that it is sorta like a subsystem/different way of looking at the same things, but is also in implemented in the base control program (kernel), so it isn't really a subsystem.

And it isn't the same as AIX. IBM has two alive commercial UNIXs, which is kinda wild.
It's not the & that's the problem, it's the selectors that start with a regular letter or dash (i.e. `a` in my example above).
It's not the IT salaries that are the problem, it's that many places working on government IT projects in Germany range from slow, backwards and incompetent to outright toxic. These are not environments that attract the best people but usually clueless YES men.
I don't understand why this isn't mentioned in the README. I wonder how they compare!
I lived in the Redmond area and I also lived in Northern BC - and despite all the bad storms and ice of Northern BC - I never had power loss for more than 8 hours. It was a lot worse in the Redmond area and owning a generator was pretty valuable.
Well, I wouldn't include myself in 'maths circles' either, but I enjoy reading popularised maths articles and occasional maths videos (e.g. 3Blue1Brown, Mathologer). It just seems far more niche than other topics - I wonder how many people are familiar with Perelman as well.
As one of the states in the USA, Delaware is probably the largest tax haven in the world.
> That's another sign to me that VR is once again not going anywhere

That's not Carmack's opinion. To quote from his post:

"Despite all the complaints I have about our software, millions of people are still getting value out of it. We have a good product. It is successful, and successful products make the world a better place."

"the fight is still winnable! VR can bring value to most of the people in the world"

The main problem with VR in my opinion is a lack of software. Most of the games produced have been either toys that are little more than a tech demo, or ports of other games not designed around VR. There haven't been many serious attempts to harness VR for non-game playing purposes.

I think the future is still bright for VR. We're currently in a bit of a local hype-cycle trough, but the tech is only going to improve.
>there's nothing inherently less tiring about it

e-ink doesn't flicker.

I know that past a certain number of Hz our brain just mushes the images together and we magically perceive that the motions on the screen are fluid, just like we believe our electric lights are completely on all of the time. But even though our final perception might be continuous, maybe there are steps in the image processing pipeline in our brain where something gets overloaded by the discrete refreshing of the screen.
I liked Bleeding Edge, and yes, it's (far?) more approachable than some of his more popular works.

So far I've read The Crying of Lot 49, Bleeding Edge, Inherent Vice, and Vineland. Vineland was difficult, but in a good way.

I've had Against The Day and Gravity's Rainbow sitting in my bookshelf laughing at me and intimidating me and daring me to start them for about ten years. Same with Stephenson's Reamde. I feel tired just contemplating the commitment.

The Ancient Wisdom Stored in Trees
The hard part typically is that you have some kind of outstanding debt and it’s anyone’s guess whether they will ever pay it back. That is why there are these risk valuations of creditworthiness.

For instance in the mortgage crisis banks had loaned money to other banks considered ‘too big to fail’ and the loaners were very confident they would be paid back. But they didn’t and because the creditworthiness of the loaning banks was based on the practical guarantee the money would be paid back, the system collapsed.

And then here you have a system where you can’t even say you own some value, all you know is you have a private key, some code that allows you to spend the value. There is no way to know if someone else doesn’t have the same code, or you could be hacked and have it copied or destroyed. It’s not clear cut at all.
It's an organized dismantle coming from the right wing parties, they cut resources and spending creating waiting lists and the deviate people to private services. The promotion of private healthcare it's all over, super cheap prices for now, till the destroy the system and then I guess we will get a super expensive scamming healthcare like in the USA. In Spain several hospitals that turned private were returning to being public because the super efficient capitalist owners could not make it work.
Yeah sure. And that ties into all our existing infrastructure, which seems fair.

If we can extract and burn and extract and burn and keep going with that loop (without dinosaur input), then all that extract-burn cycle is zero-carbon.

We can then separately decide to pump some of that cycle’s output into easy liquid storage, thus going carbon-negative.
Metrics can be interpreted in so many ways and is not the solution to the problem itself. A metrics provide some data points, but data points by itself does not solve any problem. That is why metrics is only part of the truth here. Consider everything else NOT taken into consideration by metrics
Humility is one thing. Virtue-signaling whining of the type "oh we are so terrible and everything we build is broken" is a very different thing.

Do the experiment: Take any such statement (which you can find dozens of on HN every single day), then modify it for another science or engineering profession and see if you end up with something that sounds even remotely appropriate.

"Oh, us aerospace engineers are so terrible! The JWST is 15 years late and 15 times over budget, and even after all that time and money we only managed to deliver a piece of junk that almost got knocked out by a tiny fragment of space shrapnel."

Do you really find it acceptable when people speak in this manner of what you do? I cannot think of any other profession that would tolerate this, much less culturally encourage it.
It does not ensure it but it is the best indicator we have.
A Comprehensive Guide to Stool and Microbiome Testing (2021)
This is true for me, mainly because the major effect of psychedelic drugs for me is completely 'internal' to my mind. Actually most of my trips are basically just extensions of the last one because I just revert to the same (psychotic) thought patterns. It's a pretty awful place to be which ultimately led to me getting PTSD after smoking a joint and believing some awful stuff about my existence.
Yes and no.

If you talk about privacy they don’t care but they absolutely do when it comes to “I was talking to my friend about X and suddenly I’m seeing ads for it everywhere - my phone must be listening to me”. Their phone may not actually be listening to them but as soon as they see what it means, people hate how their data is used. They just never made the connection before.
> Banning them for that seems aggressive (vs: blocking/removing that tweet), but it's at least consistent.

In other cases, twitter accounts were only suspended temporarily, and given that there was nothing about that in the TOS, and Musk updated it post-facto says that they should have never been banned in the first place, the tweets should have been deleted, and that's it.
Why do you think Delaware is a tax haven? Many business incorporate there because they have the legal infrastructure so that you are not in court in some boondocks with poorly established corporate case law if there is a lawsuit. But you don't pay less taxes by incorporating in Delaware, you reduce legal uncertainty.

If you want an example of tax haven, Montana's a better bet.
