Recently someone gave me this book called "Difficult Men" by Brett Martin. Nope wasnt about mass shootings. It was about the protagonists created in the most popular TV shows in the US and the minds of the writers behind them. So Sopranos, Mad Men, Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Deadwood, Six Feet Under etc etc. Its a super impressive and ever expanding list of writing. But the common thread is dysfunction. They are all coping badly with whatever situation they are thrown into or run into. And the costs and consequences keep building up and nothing ends too happily.

While reading it I was feeling, this too is a sort of mass attack on the minds of people. Cause its a hope and faith killer. The message is always - here is some entertaining and mesmerizing hypocrisy your small chimp brain hasn't imagined and guess what? Whatever move you make you loose. After reading that book, I see that same message in stand up comedy, in the news media, in tech and business news etc. Probably exacerbated since social media finds and amplifies such things. But I feel the messaging and signaling underneath really needs to be different.
I despise that they check the contents of shopping carts against receipts after purchase. Once you have paid for items at a store, you shouldn't have to furnish evidence that they are yours. To me it feels like a passive-aggressive way of making all customers feel that they are suspects in an unspecified crime.

I realize that receipt-chcking is included as a term in the membership contract. That is why I dropped my membership. I also realize that many people are comfortable with this as a kind of cost-cutting measure on the part of Costco (by centralizing anti-theft surveillance at the store exits). That's really OK with me – there was a lot I liked about Costco and I get it that different people have different tolerances. But being forced to undergo inspection to leave a store after completing payment made me unhappy enough I decided it wasn't for me.
When is the last time you tried an extended session? It is now possible to do 120Hz on the quest for some games and on PCVR. Earlier versions were limited to 72Hz. There have been other improvements too. Maybe update your headset, tweak some settings, find games that will work at 120Hz and give it another go.

Also, the Quest 2 is kind of old now, newer headsets are vastly superior with regards to blur and streaks.
People disapproving of remote work is so illogical. If the work can be done remotely as done effectively as IRL and the people are happier remote or hybrid, let them do that.
Ammo isn't hard to make (or smuggle in). If you tax it massively, there will be a black market for it.

We see that with Tobacco and Marijuana --both of which have legal options with medium taxes and illegal but no taxes.

I've been pushing my org to open channel discussions using the thread feature and periodically will hear somebody say they found what they needed in an previous discussion. This is the way.
I think the fundamental issue with your philosophy is that by focusing on people that "have too much" instead of primarily worrying about people having too little, you will end up in a situation where you actually have a harder time solving the latter because people don't bother to strive for the former.
Every command in a dockerfile creates a layer, and most Dockerfile builders cache each if that line hasn't changed. Dynamic callouts to run updates or check things on the web won't rerun.
You would encode that into types and expose a safe API. The usafe would still be local in scope.

For example you might build an abstraction named ReadWriteMutex that guarantees safe access at runtime.

I don't see a scenario where this would impede performances. The invariants to validate are the same. But rust would guarantee that it is memory safe.

> I can't find a plausible explanation for the absurdity of the graphics of (e.g.) Meta

A stand alone Meta Quest 2 runs on an ARM processor that’s weaker than Samsung’s flagship phones which are themselves weaker than iPhones.

> By comparison, anything in VR is low res and low poly.

That’s because you’ve completely ignored PCVR. VR visual fidelity is pretty good when it’s running on a PC that’s capable of VR. Just use VR headset, even the Quest 2, with a PC. SteamVR is 6 years old now.

Nocturia + Sleep issues could mean Sleep Apnea

I don’t snore, I am not overweight.

And I had some ADHD like symptoms.

My doctor didn’t think that it would be useful to test but I insisted, lack of sleep was making me desperate. I took at least three naps a day just to be able to function.

The results were surprising even to me, AHI of 23.

I’d be one thing if I hadn’t lived here long enough to get citizenship yet, but after 10 years?!

Like, it’s clear whoever wrote that law didn’t deliberately exclude foreign residents, he just didn’t consider them a thing at all. Like ‘Japanese Nationals’ should comprehensively cover everyone in Japan.
Are we not putting the cart before the horse? Where's the widespread usage for this that people would actually want? I can think of quite a lot of uses, but oddly enough most are quite negative and not widespread in any case. Media companies can use it to fire employees and increase profit margins. Hollywood can use it to rapidly churn out even more overtly derivative and generic movies. Students can use it to cheat on papers. Governments, and marketing agencies alike, can use it for endless contextually sensitive propaganda on social media.

Even in search I think it will, at most, be a sort of sidebox that says 'Super clippy says the answer to your query is [blah].' Because a single opaque source of information, which will continue to struggle with truthfulness (both inadvertently, and by design) is really just going to supplement endless dynamic content on a topic.

I'm just not seeing the big use for this (outside of the brief period of 'wow' novelty) in anything remotely like its current state.

You're right that culture is a big part of the gripe, but chat apps in general do enable that micromanagement, constant distractions culture.

Yeap. Various docker images are built with pkg mgmt file install exclusions and rm -rf.

It's good to have a slim script but also to have an unslim when you need manpages or locales.
> "You are just a neural net. You are not special".

"Just" a neural net? Compared to these bots following a recipe of instructions at rapid rates, we are indeed special.

We barely even know why people yawn, or dream, or any number of other things. Don't pretend it's all figured out. Don't pretend all we need to do is "tweak the execution phases" to unleash true artificial intelligence. You're reducing human intelligence far below where it actually is.

Another example: The box is painted bright green - unusual for a box. A small child will notice the colour, but not give that fact more weight than it deserves. In other words, the child concludes the box is still a box being used for play, with someone hiding inside.

AI Bot on the other hand, has only been taught about normal brown cardboard boxes. It reaches a different conclusion about the purpose of the green box because it gave the colour too much priority. Humans are special not because of training and execution in parallel, but because of our unique ability to "relax" and move ahead when not all factors are known. We push through, go with flow, "wing it" at varying degrees of success. We take leaps of faith, including micro-leaps in normal situations far more often than any Bot should be allowed to do. That's the special difference, and is why I'm honestly wondering where the ethics debate is while companies rub their hands together thinking about AI profits.
Do you have Hotword detection or Google home in the house. Sometimes they trigger for wrong keyword. Could it be that they got triggered and added these songs?
The product shortages are due to piss poor profit centric “just in time” inventory schemes. Corporations failing are always corporations fault.

This marketing that redirects blame onto “inflation”(a gov failure) or “people being at home” or “shortages” only serves to distract while corporations post profits, layoff while kicking back to shareholders, and continue to pay as little as possible for the labor.
I think part of that is disposable money. Compared to any time before the 80s people can more easily afford a firearm.

In Germany, they are usually close to the cheapest, but rarely the cheapest when I see them on Geizhals (price comparison site).
That’s nothing particular to JPL. When I worked at NASA Ames it was the same story. Government just moves at its own slow pace.
Can anyone (perhaps a former employee) confirm this behavior. I can’t tell if I’m imaging connections or the words spoken are being ingested by the ad machine.

It seems like a huge overreach to be listening, the microphone privilege I could see being abused for this, but it just seems so wrong.

"Rates of rape, sexual assault and homicide are actually lower in societies with more men than women, the study found."

"When men are abundant, rather than rare, they often switch their strategy to compete in nonviolent rather than violent ways. They tend to pursue females in more of a courtship manner that would lead to long-term relationships and marriage, in an attempt to secure a partner in a depleted market."
The entire strategic advantage of the west was sold out thanks to trying to standardize management? Come on, there's certainly an element of truth with relation to the downsides of globalization, but that's some pretty heavy hyperbole.

In terms of what is wrong with this apocalyptic view of the future, I would start with the idea that China has some unassailable chokehold on the West. A lot of influence over our supply chain (which is at the moment divesting), sure. Someone like Peter Zeihan can articulate it better than I can here (ex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzT38jCUpgU), but China is really on its knees at the moment owing in large part to the instability of authoritarian regimes. We might see them get back on their feet in the next few years but we might just as easily see a catastrophic collapse of their government and economy. Time will tell.
That's a really awesome idea, I was just thinking coming into the thread that it'd be cool if there was a way to actually motivate players to do this more, and frankly, "play the game" less.

The most fun I ever had in multiplayer games was when things went against the game itself. Funny interactions with reps in WoW, working with the enemy faction in WoW to ensure that literally nobody is allowed to leave a given town of either faction because, why not? Walking around CS source maps and just speculating about wtf the maps actually were, like, is de_dust2... just... a road in some town?

Anyway I'd love to hear about more games with these kinds of interactions. According to what I see on youtube, the final fantasy MMO seems to have this kind of things in droves. I wanted to explore it but I found the actual gameplay to be mind numbingly grindy and was turned off by that, plus lots of people telling me it sucks until level cap.
That’s also a thing in rural Germany.
The vocals (on second page of table) are really interesting. If you walked into a club, you might not notice they are nonsense, but it's just good enough BS to be convincing.
I've heard this anecdote from so many people in so many different contexts that I'm beginning to get suspicious about the common "benign" explanations like graphs of friends, their interests, location tracking, etc.

Or did they layoff remote and office workers equally?
Most places are building software regularly. Once a week update the base layer of the container to the latest OS. Then update your libs and app. Run tests, deploy.
The consumer-facing user agreement rarely applies in corporate settings. Customers negotiate master agreements with the vendor (in this case Slack, or maybe Salesforce) which limit ways the vendor can use their data, and often have significant financial penalties for sharing data without customer permission.
This is awesome and I'm glad Rails is adding something official here. Unfortunately if you want to use the Dockerfile in development with docker-compose you will need to make some changes/additions.
Most notably: only precompile assets if deploying, not during development
You ever worked in fast-paced startups before?
The original idea was inspired by PostgREST, the obvious difference is Rest tries to support all SQL databases, and it results in some design principle that Rest prefers to use a universal method instead of bind to PG features(e.g. use PG role for user authorization). Generally PostgREST is more mature now if you are using PG.
Thanks for liking it, I also think it could be a good tool to help developers for rapid prototyping and development.
I feel like they’re missing the point on the Wii Sports comparison. Wii Sports managed to be charming and have a memorable style despite running on relatively weak hardware for the time. Nintendo tends to do this really well. Horizon Worlds, on the other hand, looks lifeless and like it could be made of free assets. The console is absolutely capable of running a better looking game.
Metaverse is literally just AR and VR over the internet. It is not owned to tied to a single company. VRChat and RecRoom are also part of the metaverse. You can even consider Roblox as part of the metaverse since it has VR support.

Apparently, Facebook’s marketing is so good that they’ve convinced most of the world, even techies, that they own and control the VR AR equivalent of the internet.
I had to do a hotel quarantine once and happened to have my VR kit and PC on me (bringing it into the country). Set it all up in hotel quarantine, noticed No Man's Sky in the steam library had a VR option, and then basically spent two weeks straight wandering around alien planets.

I am still flabbergasted at how far that game came along, and then on top of that added a whole ass VR mode that to date is one of the coolest, most fleshed-out "true gaming" VR experiences I've ever had. Not poorly implemented like "woowee you're playing the game but have full-directional vision, still have to click to swing the sword though," not gimmicky like a rails shooter or slice-to-the-beat game, just a whole ass videogame in VR like I hoped it would be as a kid.

I still don't understand how they funded continual development like that but I'm happy about it.
A bit ironic that you post this in a website written in Lisp.
For backend APIs it absolutely makes sense, not only for the safety guarantees but also its type system which makes data flows much easier to reason about. I recommend the book Zero To Production in Rust in particular for learning about this, I finished it recently and at the end I had a production-ready backend API.

I think it's pretty accepted that people did not evolve from chimpanzees, but rather, people and chimpanzees evolved from some common ancestor

Netflix was really nice 10+ years ago when almost everything you wanted was on it. Now, you need to be subscribed to a separate streaming service for every show you want to watch (because each service will only have 1 show you care about), plus you have to worry about it being removed at some point for some arbitrary reason.
Look at that wasted quarter of the screen real estate beneath the TOC. Infuriates me.
I've been thinking about LLMs' ability to help with this. If they really did "memorize" data as well as some people think they do, it'd be a great boost to enterprise software development.
Have you heard of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools?

hof reminds me of those. Granted, I'm likely too young to have ever used them.

Are they back with a vengeance, but with type-safety? :)

Having built extensively on top of CUE, may I ask your thoughts on Dhall?

I wanted to use it as a YAML conformance tool, detecting drift across multiple git hashes of the same file. The aim would be to evolve a superset (if possible) data model that includes all fields (or reconciles them).

That would become the database tables.
I used to work for a company that handled a lot of classified data. In that space, there’s a notion of something being “classified by amalgamation”. In other words, I can tell you something that is not classified, and someone else can tell you something that is not classified, but you knowing both those things collectively may make it classified. I always wondered how much classified intelligence was leaked to or through Teams in this way. That nobody ever considered it blew my mind.
It would be cool to have a music service trained on your music playlist and just generates music you might like.

I didn't spend much time on naming, the original idea was inspired by an interesting project PostgREST which is a similar tool bind to Postgres, so I just name it as Rest which could provide RESTFul API for any SQL database.
Isn't that obvious? From understanding and communicating with each other

The problem with a true OTP solution is not generating the random bytes. It really isn’t. There are many many ways to do it, that are well documented. Pretty much all modern phones and many (most?) computers in the last 5 to 10 years have hardware rngs, and can generate true random values very fast compared to the old “sample some part of the computer” mechanisms while also being much more robust.

The problem is a true OTP requires both sides to have access to the same stream of random, and they must have enough for all messages. You can’t do that online, because transmitting the random key stream would require it’s own random key stream that was at least as long.

That’s why OTP are impractical.
LoL that made my day XD
I’m not sure if Apple has good enough sensors but a Garmin watch can do this. It has built in breathing exercises and you can even have it prompt you to do one if it detects your breathing is not normal.
Let me start with what I agree with, we should try all of them in a fashion that tests if they work, and if any of them did role them out everywhere.

I also agree that many of these have beneficial effects besides a reduction in crime and we should maybe provide these services anyway because it makes peoples lives better.

I also agree we should manage spiraling housing costs by upzoning everywhere. I think affordable housing could actually make things worse by concentrating poverty.

I'm not convince transportation infrastructure helps the poor more than direct cash transfers. The US is really terrible at building cost effective transportation infrastructure, and most of the places that have it are terrible places to be poor like San Francisco or New York.

The only example I need is one replicated natural experiment or RCT that shows any of these working.
My point is that you don't know if psychiatry actually gave you the reason. It may actually have nothing to do with that.
So exercise improves my mood and energy level, and the effect can last anywhere from 24-48 hours. This can INDIRECTLY help you eat better as you aren't using foods (e.g. sugar, fat, caffeine) to boost you in one sense or another. I find that a mix of resistance training and cardio mostly on zone mid-high zone 3 or low zone 4 works best (high zone 4, or zone 5 seems to have a detrimental effect both in recovery and duration). This is also what the CDC recommend[0].

THAT BEING SAID: Exercise works for me, I know it works, and I feel good when I do so (both due to the above AND just a feeling of achievement). But exercise is fucking tedious/boring/brain numbing. I wish exercise games/gaming was a thing, I've tried a Quest but the headset weight caused neck/shoulder issues, and I had to stop. I've tried the gym, swimming, and nothing has really scratched my itch. Machines with videos of instructors exercising doesn't add anything of value (aside from minor eye-candy).

I'd maybe enjoy boxing but CTE/concussions put me off. The only exercise-like experience I ever really enjoyed was laser tag but that isn't really a "thing" (as in "I'm going to my morning laser tag before work"). I am actually shocked and confused that exercise-gaming isn't a massive market (and, no, I don't mean "gamification of exercise" as in Apple Watch rings or whatever, I mean actual FUN games that involve the movement of the body). Currently the Nintendo Switch is the market leader in exercise-gaming and that's just pathetic.

Sci hub is significantly easier to use than any legitimate university library.

Also, university researchers have been sharing their institutes' access to papers for ever. No university subscribes to all journals. 15 years ago it was quick email to your undergrad mate asking if their uni subscribes to a particular journal. I was at a top-10 ranked US eng school and this was the case. 25 years ago it was a call and a fax. Before then a photocopier.
And is managed by a CEO who is choosing not to lay off workers. Are you saying that Apple is wrong to not do layoffs? You can go express that with your votes in the investor meeting, that you don’t want Apple to be the star in these PR pieces about being a great employer who doesn’t lay off employees.
