You absolutely can do this if you go on a meditation retreat. I went to https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/courses/search though I am sure you can find other schools of meditation.
My experience was that you are not allowed to talk for the duration of the course and just focus on breathing & meditation (10 days in my case). It brought a great deal of calm and focus into my life.

On many platforms a shift by more than 31 bits often did nothing, despite it should do something. Intel, for example, masked the count at 5 bits, breaking a lot of 64 bit compiler hacks.

There is also the issue of cache and speed - expanding to full size would have different footprints, so perhaps they tested that too.

This is likely a result to work around those problems.

I'm bullish on the metaverse only because I see it as the only viable solution to one of the biggest problems in the world right now: loneliness.

Sure, metaverse interactions are a distant second to real world interactions, but at this point, real-world doesn't work out for lonely people anymore, and I haven't seen any compelling real world solutions either.

Loneliness is a problem that needs to be fixed. You'd ideally fix it irl. But if you can't, at least giving people a virtual experience of togetherness might be worth it

I am not aware of any other triple entry accounting system or proposal other than the block chain ecosystem. But I have been a crypto curmudgeon and skeptic so I don’t follow it closely. Honestly it was the only idea that didn’t make me throw up a little when I would talk to crypto fans. It was my little tactic to find common ground.

Excel may be cheaper and faster for companies but governments care about legitimacy and could probably end up forcing implementation. So imagine that instead of county deed offices that have physical books dating back hundreds of years with title info, they had a blockchain ledger then the third party systems the evolved on top to make title transfer lowers friction will technically not being a true legal transfer could have a middle ground where the transaction has the certainty and legitimacy of a public record and the low friction of a digital transaction rather than physically having to go to each county to record the transaction.

Similarly all large banks now have to submit stress tests to the federal reserve and one of the hardest things to do is trace asset transfers and liabilities to get at contagion risk. If regulators were smart they would mandate a blockchain or time series database so that unwinding transactions didn’t have to happen through junior attorney and bankers manual review of transfers in bankruptcy court.
So many responses already, I'll just add that if you desire a family it's not too late. I'd suggesting getting other parts of your life in order a bit first, but I know people who are getting into relationships and even marriages later in life (40s). Even children aren't entirely out of the question (although at this point they do tend to be older than infants). If it's really something you want in your life, don't think that it could never happen.

All too often with these self-made success stories there is a large, uncredited role of outside help--parents for example.
Because it's just not clear. It depends on if you trust the veterinarians in the lab to provide an objective assessment, and also just believe that they are correct. And I do wonder if they might be correct for some of the animals, but not all, so maybe some should be kept to retire in place, and some should be sent to the shelter.

Regardless, on a more personal note, I wouldn't want to subject my cat to the kind of transportation and relocation they're talking about, regardless of health or age. And I believe chimps are much more self-aware and intelligent than cats; I expect they'd find it much more stressful.

I think this is a case where the law was well-intentioned, but didn't provide any escape hatches for situations not considered by the law.

Public services are not expected to be 'economically viable' on their own. Moreover, whether there are enough people to support service is also a purely administrative and political issue.

You're not addressing my point, either, which is that there is a big difference between getting a crap service because you're hard to reach (which does happen including here in Europe) and having no right to call for help in the first place.

Again, I am not criticising, I am just thinking that there are different, separate issues here.
I think I read the parent comment differently: when crypto is claimed to be a weapon against the west, it is not because it is in any way an alternative, it is a weapon as a system supporting illicit activities against the west (money laundering, sanction evasion, state sanctioned ransomware). The fact that it slow, unscalable and expensive does not matter for those type of activities. So I thought it does not really matter that our banks are efficient.

> the people who had bleu checks before the $7.99 fee are addicted to attention, validation, and/or lording their bleu check status over others.

This is not a thing people regularly did? Old-school blue checks were never a status symbol, just a way Twitter used to denote "real" (meaning from-the-author-stated) and "fake" (real-humans-parodying-someone-else) accounts.

The idea that they denoted status was a criticism born from misunderstanding and invented by far-right activists who mostly were never involved in Twitter socially during the first 10 years of it's run, and never really understood Twitter user's culture. 99% of people with "blue checks" were not doing some holier-than-thou dance or whatever. (It's also why none of these people are rushing to pay $8 for this newly-invented blue-as-status symbol thing -- it was never about status, these people are already often rich and famous or at least noteworthy in their field, they don't need some weirdo micro-validation from Twitter.

Only a completely tone-deaf crazy person would pay money for Twitter in an attempt to gain validation or status.
It is just bland. I grew in southern Virginia and it was a fixture of wintertime and often sold by churches and fire departments. At best, it’s tomatoey and doesn’t have too many lima beans, but is always a bit gluey and the meat just sort of turns into little string of muscle fiber. Honestly it makes me a little queasy just thinking about it. Most of the time it seems to have been cooled for 2-3 days prior to sale, for what that’s worth.

> Liquidity is not a property of h2o molecules but it is of water

The ability to speak English is not a property of floating points, but it is of certain, very specific large tensors of them. What's the difference?

> Emergence is an ontological relationship between properties of objects --- it isn't a mathematical property of a data distribution nor of an approximation function.

I don't see a hard distinction between ontological relationships and data distributions. All information is fundamentally statistical. Our access to ontology is forever and always mediated by "data distributions".

One could, of course posit that there are fundamental, non-statistical ontological things out there. However, the liquidity of water being an ontological relationship while the English-speaking of GPT not being so is merely a hypothesis, not an objective fact of the universe, at least not as far as I can tell.
Could probably write VS Code extenions that do all this for you.
From looking at the supported platforms, the standard library seems to work for most OpenBSD targets, but they don't provide official builds (presumably due to not having anyone volunteering to maintain dedicated hardware for them to use for CI); the Tier 3 platforms[1] list OpenBSD on x86_64, i686, aarch64, sparc64, powerpc64, and riscv64gc as all having the standard library functioning. Due to there not being official builds, I'm guessing that there would either have to be an officially maintained package to install or you'd have to build it from scratch, though, but it seems likely that having a functioning compiler already means that you wouldn't have to fully bootstrap everything (and if you did, maybe it would be possible to bootstrap from rustc?)

Getting some sort of employment should be the first step. Work fills a large part of one's waking hours and is beneficial insofar as having some structure in life is concerned. Even if it is somewhat beneath your ability, having a job that helps you fill your days and get a small sense of accomplishment will do much more than any therapy or introspection will, all things considered.

If you are gainfully employed, you will find that your social circle will also start coalescing around you, and some benefits will follow.

Once you are employed, you can consider therapy. Do not neglect dating or forming romantic attachments either. It is much harder at age 43 but not impossible if you keep expectations in check. But I do not think therapy in the absence of basics is of much use.

If you have a job, you can use money from the job to visit the US (assuming you have a visa or can obtain one), and get a taste of the life you miss for a few weeks every year.
It's always students who are blamed for cheating or laziness, but never the administrators, teachers, etc. for failing to create sufficiently engaging work or curriculum that students do not feel compelled to cheat in the first place. Yes, some cheating is always inevitable ,and it's unfair to kids who do not cheat, but why it the framing always one-way. It's like productivity, automation, and collaboration is valued in corporate America, but it's the opposite in school.

Regulation might be able to fix it: Prevent streaming companies from owning content production. Split up companies that already exist like this (e.g. Comcast, Netflix, Disney, et al) then the content creating entities will be forced to pick the highest bidder for exclusive access or try to maximize profit by syndicating their content across as many platforms as possible.

It would be a better world, IMHO.

Hate to say it but I don't think the DoJ is gonna act on this, especially not while they're currently investigating Trump for other malfeasance. This committee is pretty partisan - 7 D, 2 R.

Because you're used to universities paying crap wages while the upper admin takes home the big bucks?

Because you're used to viewing universities through the lens of profit-generation rather than education?

Because you're used to administration using unfair labor practices while playing off students against staff?

No, I guess you're right - those are considered pretty common these days.
In a certain sense this is true. Giving to charity is a self-interested machination because the giver gets something out of the transaction: satisfaction, a belief in their own goodness and self-worth, the esteem of others, maybe a ticket to heaven. But in a more useful sense this is false. We use "self-interested machinations" to describe things that are deceptive and harmful to others, not adopting puppies. Even people who apply the nihilistic self-interest-all-the-way down argument to neutralize criticism in one case will tend to abandon it in another and become the critic.

Probably because building targets with tools outside of the workspace is an antipattern, as it violates hermiticity principles. In fact, Bazel generally makes it quite hard to do this, so anyone who ends up in this scenario must have jumped through many hoops to get there.

I agree that the linked issue is legitimate, but I'd argue that this isn't a problem Bazel itself needs to solve--you should fix your build to be fully hermetic.
> It's exactly why I've never revisited Lost, even though I loved the first few seasons. The suspense and mystery never paid off, and it was too important a piece of the entire show to bother trying again.

I'm not gonna claim it was good or anything, but Lost was more than just the show - and a lot of the payoff for the island's mysteries came from the ARG The Lost Experience - https://lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lost_Experience

> The narrative for the The Lost Experience was designed to be a parallel story line not part of the TV show. Considering the deep mythology to LOST, the Experience acted as a way to cover some background that could not be feasibly addressed in such depth on the main show. In particular, TLE developed the backstory to the DHARMA Initiative and its parent company, the Hanso Foundation. It also established some clues about the Island and the true meaning of the numbers.
In the environment of course. It is a step better than just keeping all the secrets there, because an env leak won't leak the encrypted values, so you'll have a key with no door, so to speak.
I have no experience with content moderation but thought that the bureaucracy Twitter had in place was really a response to genuine market imperatives. I mean, remember the site was a leading recruitment site for foreign Isis fighters, to give an extreme example. The Elonites and the resurfaced 4chan types have this picture of faceless ‘woke’ elites who came from nowhere but the general elite miasma —- and sensibly cast aside by free speech Musk. But in fact it was a gruesome business and technical problem; in the end it will only end up being reproduced.

If that's the intent, then that's a stupid, vindictive intent. The law should be written to protect the well being of the animals, and ensure the best outcome for them. Anything else is not something I'd care to support, anyway.

> regardless of how good said experimenters claim the chimps had it.

Had is not the operative word here: have is. The veterinarians at the lab claim that they currently receive as good or better care than they'd receive at the sanctuary. Certainly that claim should be evaluated by an independent third-party, but, frankly, the chimp's quality of life in the past (such as when they were experimental subjects) isn't particularly relevant now. All that matters (ethically) is the level of care they get now, and the likely negatives to their well being that moving them would cause.

Sure, one can reasonably disagree with the lab vets' assessment. But I don't think any of us here are in the position to have an informed opinion on that.

All of it is pretty moot, though, as the law doesn't seem to provide any exceptions. If that is indeed the case (and the NIH either chooses not to appeal, or does and fails), they'll be forced to relocate... assuming they live that long, anyway.
