I agree with the gist of your remark but the question was "can be said with certainty...", which is, indeed very difficult for a scientist to ever do. The "could reach" is also weird right?

Your own eyes jump around all day, but you never notice. You do not notice, because your visual sense, fills the gaps, and even refills these gaps, with storys that make sense. "You frozze with fear" when the bike approached, instead of "My eyes filled the buffer to slow for my car".

Meditation is trying to break these cobbled together parts of the self-computer appart, trying to understand. Its a not very wise and not very calming endavour. After all the machine that should reassemble it, is the one that took it apart.
Before I buy a laptop, I pretend I accidentally put my fist through the screen, and shadowbox the process of replacing the panel.

For example with Thinkpad that meant finding a compatible panel based on specs they publish about all their models, then finding a teardown and rebuild video published on the Lenovo website for the model.

I was really interested in an m1 laptop but I tried my process with it and all research pointed to "send it in to apple care" which I don't want to do because I know how to use a screw driver and order parts, that should be enough.
I'm very similar to you. Left to my own schedule, I will go to bed around 2-3am and wake up about 10am. Unfortunately, I have to be out of bed around 6:30am for work, but no matter how hard I try or how tired I was during the day, when it's the evening my brain wakes up and I just cant get to sleep before 12-1am. The only thing that really helps is cannabis, but as I got older cannabis started giving me anxiety really bad.
Different OS, different storage, different filesystem are all fair as you can say you are testing the laptop as a whole, so what was preconfigured matters. Also generating totally different code (compiler outputting x86_64 vs aarch64) is fair, because that's part of a real-world task.

However, LLVM/clang vs GCC is too far and made the benchmark result completely nonsense. How can you make sure it isn't just that LLVM/clang is faster than GCC? Or even makefile detected clang so turned on different compiler flags.
>What AI is already capable of should be celebrated. It's amazing. It can save so much time and enable so much more productivity. But we should all share in that collective productivity increase as it continues to improve. It shouldn't be the case that some people win big while many, if not most, lose.

That's some wishful thinking if I've ever seen one.
Lineages seem to be the downfall of empires. I wonder if the Roman Empire would have survived longer had Marcus Aurelius (or anyone after him) not chosen their heir by biology, but by virtue, as the previous emperors did.

How do you reach that impression? "Innocent until proven guilty" would mean the additive should be presumed safe, or innocent, until proven unsafe, or guilty.

They also say it's crazy to do innocent until proven guilty.
The cool thing is you can also create .kube file which points to a kubernetes pod definition yaml. This also generates a service definition which takes care of running a full pod with all your containers.
Looking up the Wikipedia page for sodium cyclamate does not acquit the U.S. any better. It was banned in the U.S. because of the decision of individual FDA commissioners, and not because it failed any FDA processes.

If anything, it appears to validate the EU’s process which appears to be based on actual research, as opposed to the political whims of the people running the FDA.
They’d sell a lot more to Linux-only users… but that’s obviously not their goal, and Apple seems to be unusually good at being ruthless in their prioritisation.
I think a version of this argument does succeed in showing that qualia are real as opposed to just some conceptual mistake.

The problem with arguing about whether qualia are “physical” or “non-physical”, is I’m not sure how much sense such a distinction makes if one is not a Cartesian dualist-which I’m not, and you don’t appear to be either
Extrapolate this to over 10 years. You're eating a lot more than gram of it.
Been a while since I saw a call for UBI.

I think I subconsciously credited an inflationary environment and the wake-up-call that was the things we depend on becoming slightly harder to get because fewer people were working their usual jobs.

And the difficulty in getting things done in a malfunctioning labor market.

And in general just a lot less magical thinking in commodity squeezes / rising rate environments.

But that's not to say that the problem doesn't exist. Just that it's interesting that this particular solution seemed to skulk away for a little while.
> Even the early birds I knew didn't quite like the morning classes, because they then had to rush towards lecture halls first thing in the morning, rather than strolling leisurely to the library, eating breakfast, or jogging and taking a shower, which I suspect is what many early birds most enjoy about being an early bird.

As an early bird, spot on. I don't like being late or being rushed. I also like surfing with the sun coming up or working out first thing in the morning.

Nothing stops anyone from celebrating a stray (or neighboring) dog's birthday. The difference between a dog and a chair in that context is the dog will wag its tail in an expression of happiness if given a birthday treat. The chair won't. So being able to experience happiness may be an indicator of life. Just watch some young squirrels running and jumping over each other this Spring. That's life.
It's Red Hat's fault that Ubuntu is an LTS based on Debian unstable?

LTS doesn't only mean long term stability - long term suck applies, too.

The only thing preventing podman from working is the age of their source, which is a deliberate choice -- LTS
> What did he fail at specifically?

It's wild that you seem to be giving Neumann a free pass here. He was the founder and CEO of a company that lost 10s of billions of dollars and was eventually forced out for non-performance (and borderline fraudulent activity) so the adults could step in and salvage what was left of the company.

I don't feel sorry for his investors either. You are needlessly painting this situation as one side "good" one side "bad" when "all sides bad" is much more honest.
I had the same experience. Even though I tried really hard and gave it a few months, I went back to Docker. I'm keeping an eye on Podman, though, and hope they can pull through to replace Docker soon.
Correct, but preventing people from taking the address of things actually makes a difference for certain constructs in the standard (fore example, when it comes to trap representations).
I think this is great idea.

Actually, anytime somebody finds a way to engage students to think in a different way than just trying to memorise facts is a win, IMO. I think it is lamentable that students are asked to rely more and more on recalling facts at the time where it is becoming less and less important compared to critical thinking. This is lazy way to do something about structural education system issues. I can't even call it "solving", because it is not really solving any problems, just ensuring purely educated students.

One of my programming interview question is a flawed piece of code implementing an algorithm. The algorithm is there in its entirety, so there is no need to actually recall the details of it. The task is to point out and fix functional flaws, then critique and fix non-functional problems.

I find this gives me much better appreciation for the candidate compared to a standard hit or miss test where the candidate is asked to implement an algorithm and they may or may not have the luck to know or come up with an answer.

It is also practically impossible to prepare for or cheat even if you somehow get to know from recruiters what you can expect (they do ask people and they do prepare candidates...)

A long time ago I had people cheat by using materials on remote interviews (which I did way before Covid). Now I invite them to use external materials or even ask questions ("This task does not require anything outside the standard library. I don't care if you remember it, if you can describe what the function does I will gladly tell you the name and describe how it works exactly.")

"The podman package is available in the official repositories for Ubuntu 20.10 and newer."
"CAUTION: The Kubic repo is NOT recommended for production use. Furthermore, we highly recommend you use Buildah, Podman, and Skopeo ONLY from EITHER the Kubic repo OR the official Ubuntu repos. Mixing and matching may lead to unpredictable situations including installation conflicts."

Also the Kubic repo is old.

I don't know what makedeb is, but of course anyone can make .deb packaging for anything, but that does not mean it is supported in any way (not to mention if a package has several other package dependecies, and those also have to be packaged carefully)

That's kind of how a lot of society works for the disabled: "I'm really sympathetic to your disability, however..."
> I attribute this to the fact that most really fun things in my life happen late - parties, dancing, playing computer games to 3am, bouts of in the zone coding, spending nights with my partner - all happening in the evening, so my body obviously tries to "optimise" its attention to when I crave it most.

I’ve personally found that 4am wake-up is driven by the same goal as 3am bedtimes: hours when everyone else is too asleep to bother you. The big difference is that it’s far easier to stay awake than it is to force yourself out of bed.

As far as I can tell from the above conversation the OP never mentioned anything about their brain. You have introduced their brain, and its functioning, to the conversation.

In view of that, could you please clarify: are you saying that the OP's own brain is doing something that could be represented with a "matrix multiplication"?
But you don’t spend those hours before work with the inevitability of what you’ll have to deal with at work in just a few hours weighing on your mind?

Personally I find evenings a bit different, in that I’m sufficiently worn out mentally from the day that I no longer can think (productively) about work — and so the worries of the upcoming day are temporarily shelved for lack of practical progress to be made on them. Through no particular mental effort on my part, it is easy to relax in the evenings.

But in the mornings, I’m fresh enough that that doesn’t work. I can, through an act of willpower and mindfulness, intentionally forget that work is a thing I’ll have to be doing in a few hours, and so just enjoy my mornings like you do — but this was a skill I learned, and I didn’t always have it; and moreover, I suspect it’s a skill many people never develop.
That’s literally what successive UK governments have been saying for the past 6+ years.

As far as I'm aware, Theravada is a body of teaching that developed late - around the same time as Mahayana. It's not some kind of "what the Buddha actually taught".
So the software developers cannot make a version that can be run on any linux distrib? (with or without packaging)

Of course, that's why I said I liked the unified log access. Compose log command is primitive in features, journalctl just offers a better functionality, and for someone like me (who uses Linux daily for work and personal use) convenience.
The story is complete pretentious garbage, no doubt. No one "deserves" to own a Rolex, good lord.

On the flip side, I see nothing wrong with enjoying luxury watches. Rolex make really great watches that will last a lifetime. And be built nicer, with better and more expensive materials and much more precision engineering than cheaper watches.

Yeah, it's not necessary at all, (I can just buy a new Casio FW91 every few years), but if you appreciate the fine details and engineering involved it can be worth it.
> The average person in California (and in the rest of the country) desires to live in a detached home that they own.

And then you put them inches away from one another, lined up in perfect rows!

I don't get it, looking on (mainly through TV/film) from the UK, what makes detached houses desirable is almost entirely lacking from North American streets, they frequently seem to look like a terrace that's been chopped up. Is it perhaps because timber framing makes noise more of a problem in terraces/semis; so that becomes the prime motivator for detached?
Upgrading RAM and storage is obviously trivial. The battery as well, that just requires buying a bigger one for the same model.

As for the screen and trackpad, Lenovo has extensive documentation on their website detailing how to replace components, all the way down to the type of screws you need should you lose some. The compatible parts for any of their model can be found on their website. Although the OEM parts are usually more expensive, you can usually find them online in various shops.

If you go for the aliexpress route, just searching "screen for thinkpad t48" will get you a bunch of screens of varying quality.

You don’t even need a bug where you look smart for solving it. Eg, as an interviewer I also love stories that go like this:

“There was this memory leak in some C++ code that took us weeks to track down that I’m still kicking myself for not finding earlier. It was totally my fault. Let me tell you what happened … … So the moral of the story is -fsanitize=address is smarter than me. But wow did I learn a lot about my tools from that.”
Wow. Really? I dumped social media in 2017. Please let me know what rock you've been living under. It sounds nice.

I've been led to believe that there are brokers who have information on your employment history and that it will likely show up in a background check. Famously, employment dates are the only thing a typical HR department will give out when cold called by a potential new employer. Basically, it's not something I'd fluff beyond a month or two. I'd find something else to fill a big gap on a resume if needed (sabbatical, volunteering, consulting, whatever) just in case it's something that an automated filter is tossing out.
Playing games like Satisfactory and Factorio also forces you to come to terms with the imperfection of living systems. The first time you play, you can't possibly know how big you need the factory to be, and you don't have the tech unlocked for a lategame factory anyway. You just have to admit that you'll build a temporary facility now, and build a new one after you've unlocked the tech you'll need to scale up.
Dunno about UK, but if you can remotely murder people in other countries with drones/missiles, I think remote driving is the least of the problems.

A16Z has an awful reputation in crypto circles. They're considered a mercenary VC and there's a dominant assumption that if A16Z has led a round, they'll likely do an "airdrop" or similar token generation event just so they can sell their own tokens and get exit liquidity.

Sad to see a name like A16Z reduced to this.

Great write-up. Where I'm based, there are not a lot of meditation retreats at all. It's often something that's not really talked about but even then I wasn't aware at all that these side effects were out there. The most I went through as a short mindfulness class in college, and I absolutely thought it would be beneficial to go deeper into it eventually. I could never find the time or (mostly) patience to follow up with it afterwards.

Having had almost life ruining psychosis for pandemic related reasons in between then and now, reading this makes me glad I didn't and keen to learn more on this side of the issue.

I think you're conflating the concentration and insight jhanas/meditative practices. What you said about losing the sense of self is true of the insight jhanas, but "mindfulness" as a meditative practice is more reminiscent of concentration. Also, it's not like "losing the sense of self" is always bad for you; it depends how deep your attachment to the self was in the first place. Sīla (moral and ethical practice) and intellectual insights like Stoicism can help you gradually loosen the notion that a personal self must be integral to existence, without abandoning it completely.
Nah. Goog just laid off some really spectacular people (in both talent and personality). Examples: Chris diBona and cat Allman. (I don't know cat personally but I do know Chris and he's an incredibly likeable person.)

Both involved in activities that generated Google a boatload of community goodwill but likely not a lot of direct revenue.
Europeans don't really trust the FDA to make their best interest. We have our own regulations and we want those to be respected.
> US supermarket shelves are probably the worst in the world.

By what definition? I went to cuba 3 years ago and supermarket shelves were empty. Is that better?

On a more serious note, I've travelled a lot and $1 menus and such are extremely rare, especially ones with actual vegetables and meat, and this was a big feature of the US only a few years ago (not sure about now with the inflation). $1 menus go a long way in feeding a lot of poor people.
Let's not pretend there wouldn't be massive industry around puppy-crushing machines if it was profitable for corporations, and marginally legal.

Decades of industry centered around killing other baby animals have shown this.

If anything, it's likely that the lack of a profit motive for "puppy-crushing" has shaped society's general distaste for "companion animal" abuse, while accepting other types of animal abuse as just a way of life.
So, we'll go no more a roving

So late into the night,

Though the heart be still as loving,

And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,

And the soul wears out the breast,

And the heart must pause to breathe,

And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,

And the day returns too soon,

Yet we'll go no more a roving

By the light of the moon.

I find this comment interesting but hard to understand, what is the gist of your comment ?
"...mortified to publish them under my own name."

Exactly, if I had the good fortune to afford a Rolex I'd never buy one. I'm always wary of those who do. In my mind ostentatiousness and pretentiousness implies trumped up ego and disingenuousness.

On the matter of the Rolex shortage: I'm not doubting its accuracy but wouldn't it make sense for the Wilsdorf Foundation to up the price until the grey market disappeared? If the Foundation puts sales profit

and on mac nothing works:

- worst window management than on any other OS

- mouse scrolling works in a different direction and requires additional software to be fixed.

- unlike windows, cannot even connect to Android without some additional software to copy pictures.

- docker is extremely slow

- my M1 already crashed 4 times in the last 6 months since I started using it - worse than any other OS/hardware.

- poor multi-monitor support

- poor support of monitors with lower resolution

- non-standard keyboard shortcuts. All other OSes use the same shortcuts.

- brew is very buggy when used with multiple users on single laptop

- no way to configure a global variable on startup. You can use .zprofile etc. but this will not work with GUI applications started via spotlight.

this is only a small portion of issues I had with macos.
