If you mediate, you should be aided by a master or friends. You should not mediate, especially deep mediate in a confusing state of mind, when you are panic or exhausted, when you are hungry or too full. If you don’t follow the rules and practice according to your levels, you can hallucinate and harm yourself (走火入魔). These are very clear advises from every Buddhist school.

Meditation is one way to practice mindfulness. It’s NOT the only one. It’s by no way the silver bullet for all your problems. It’s also not a technique recommend for beginners. No Buddhist master would recommend it for you, if you haven’t studied the Buddhist teachings sufficiently.

Above all, Buddhist meditation should always be practiced in accordance with the Buddhist teachings, first and foremost with compassion in mind. Abuse any technique and it will bring harm, especially on yourself.

First, car companies are generally terrible at making software from the jump. The interfaces are always byzantine, laggy, and poorly laid out. There's the small bandaid of Apple Carplay and Android Auto, but then your vehicle settings are decoupled from the rest of the UI, which is confusing and frustrating. I'm honestly due to get a new car, but I have no idea what to get because virtually every car on the market feels like using a 10 year old Android tablet.

All I want is a small display, doesn't have to be touch, for backup camera and carplay. Please put everything else behind buttons, switches, and LED indicators.
Which is why I originally asked what was meant by "real". From a consensus-realistic perspective, things that are purely subjective and non-material things are definitely less real or at least less-obviously real. From a solipsistic perspective the only real thing is one's subjective experience, and everything else is in doubt. But most people are not capable of consistently maintaining a solipsistic perspective, so I didn't assume that's what was meant.

That strikes me as incorrect. If the contents of the website haven't been updated since last year, how can you claim that they are 'copyrighted' in this year?

It seems to me that the copyright date should be updated whenever the actual content of the site is updated (and no earlier).

I've never bought a car but if I do, that might be the third most important criteria on my list (1st being security, 2nd being reliability/ease of maintenance).

It seems the Japanese brands (Toyota, Mazda, Honda…) tend to tick most of these boxes. I would have hoped brands like Volvo or Volkswagen would avoid this touchscreen trend but it seems they jumped on the bandwagon.
I am a noob, does dry insight mean no concentration practices? The book says a significant amount of concentration practice is necessary before it is possible to make any progress with insight practice, and also recommends continuing concentration practice as a stabilizing and comforting influence against the destabilizing and often unpleasant insight journey.

>Today, you can just stay inside and order everything online

Then think of the punishment as essentially house arrest, with the small relaxation that you may leave your house if you wear something humiliating.
That sounds pragmatic; in the end, you still have to return to the real world and get on with things like survive.

Although this talk about becoming enlightened sounds like people have given up on themselves and realilty entirely to pursue something in their minds. It sounds like a self-induced state of tripping balls.
That increases the danger of self driving cars over people but there are other situations where self driving is safer.

When discussing this I don't hear the positives
“Night owl” does not describe some innate biological reality. It’s a matter of preference and habit.

Belated followup: I'm wrong.

Coincidently, If Books Can Kill reviewed The Population Bomb. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/if-books-could-kill/id...

I still think the Ehlrichs are moral cripples, and that they should not have made policy prescriptions. Like the '20s era Progressives (and others), early leftist environmentalists advocated terrible policies for "those people" while minimizing their own inconvenience. Eugenics, notably.

However, I was not aware of the zeitgeist about "overpopulation" at the time, nor how that meme came to support the reactionary project. For instance, morphing into today's rabid anti-Muslim organizations.

So my updated position is, on the balance, The Population Bomb did far more wrong and probably very little good.

My issue is that anti-Malthusian rhetoric, just like anti-anti-racism, often serves to concern troll and minimize actual pressing problems. "Ya, ya, ya. Climate crisis. Big deal. Y'all were wrong about overpopulation too. Calm down."

But two wrongs don't make a right. So I now agree with you wrt this book.

> Down syndrome would be a candidate for elimination if you truly were unbiased.

Why? Why is that the "unbiased" conclusion. You keep claiming this, but don't justify it. Also, you don't have to kill a single person. You do know that, right. You can just let people with Down Syndrome finish living out their lives. The point would be to not have any more kids with Down Syndrome be born. Which would mean not letting people with Down Syndrome procreate, probably through forced sterilization. And also aborting fetuses that test positive for Down Syndrome. Obviously, you'll miss some. Because that's life. But you don't have to kill anyone. I don't know why you have such a murder boner. But eugenics doesn't have to involve the active slaughter of a single person.

The fact that you think it does shows that you really aren't thinking about the problems or solutions.

And you'd note, I actually agreed that eugenics works. It will breed out whatever trait you want bred out. And that the reason we don't do it is because it involves ripping people's autonomy from them. And that is wrong. We should not do to others what we wouldn't allow be done to ourselves. And there's the knock on effect that we cannot agree on the clear detriments.

> They were wrong.

Why? Why is having Down Syndrome a "clear detriment" but not being black? Would you rather be black or white? Why? You could make a pretty good case that society, as a whole, would be better off if we all were one uniform skin color. So that it would be to the benefit of society if we were to breed out certain levels of melanin.

> But according to the best of their knowledge at the time they acted logically.

Racism is hardly logical. It has no basis in logic. It requires the mental gymnastics you so readily accuse others of. This is not a position of disgust, this is a position of rationality. Melanin levels shouldn't determine how you are treated by others. And the solution isn't to breed out melanin, the solution is to remove the power of the people making it harder for those with increased levels of melanin.
> I wonder if some version of this schandmaske can apply to social media where you want to have some formal notice and punishment but don’t want to cut them off from their livelihood or connection to social relationships.

> Although I doubt that our society can agree on transgressions that would warrant the mask. Saying someone is ugly is a big deal to some people and less so to others.

We kinda do, but because the community is global, the standards against which you're measured for shame are so broad you can't avoid saying something that someone considers appalling (recent examples "vaccines are a good idea" and "I like the idea of my local shops being a 15 minute walk away"), and yet the opposite side of the same coin is that you're always going to be able to find people who think you're speaking truth to power, that you have no need to be ashamed, and that any attempt to criticise you is just "cancel culture".

So, massive pile-ons no matter what — even when your action is to block someone so you don't have to deal with them any more.

I like old style physical control as well, but I typically use a combination of steering wheel knobs and voice control to adjust climate control on my Model S, not the touch screen. That means I don’t have to take my eyes off the road, or even my hands off the wheel. Voice control is really the most hands-off way to adjust climate.

(Voice control could be more polished than it is, but it works great for climate control IMO. I really like it for enabling or disabling the defrost, which can take fiddling with if you use touch screen or old style controls… especially in a rainy/cloudy situation where you want both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road..)
I'm not really. We have onsite backups + off-site to backblaze. I'm comfortable with that for where we are. (We run on-prem for most things that involve a lot of data or GPUs.)

This is unsurprising. In college I had a 7:35 anatomy lecture in the winter semester in the US Northeast. How many students do you think were making it to a 7:35 lecture in 20 below 0 temperature before snow had been plowed, before busses were running, and with wind blowing in their faces? It was poorly thought through.

Anyone who is interested in this more should check out Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. The book isn’t perfect, but it does discuss how we systematically harm our children by the timing of our school days. For example, teenagers need more sleep than younger children, but we have the teenagers up the earliest for school because they ought to be “responsible”. This reflects in their lack of classroom engagement and progress and test scores. IMO, if we want to consider our public education system an actual service to our youth, we should be doing what we can to meet their needs, rather than imposing our virtues and opinions on them.
This stuff started when responsive web design became a thing. The big change from my POV is designers were empowered to implement the “top x” features or user journeys and pretty much ignore the rest.

Ignoring low use functions is bad. There are plenty of buttons in my car that are a waste of money on the bill of materials if you think about frequency. But if I need it in an emergency, it’s essential.
There's quite a difference between having a standard layout, and having a standard aesthetic design, though.

I certainly agree that there are many usability patterns that should be implemented in every website. That doesn't mean that every website has to look the same in terms of padding, color design, and content, though.

It's probably no coincidence Stoicism (and Cynicism) appeared in the centuries following Alexander's campaign to India, and the bidirectional greco-indian cultural exchange that followed.

(It's also no coincidence that a Indian Buddhist monks ostensibly wear orange togas; not that the Romans conquered India or the Indians went to Rome, but the two seem to have been inspired by the Greek Chiton and Himation)

This cultural exchange is pretty fascinating thing in general. Here are some complementary reading:

Indeed. During winter, my SO turns the temperature to max and adjusts fan speed to comfort.

This is because she wants hot air on her hands, and in order to get enough hot air on her hands with a "normal" set-point temperature, the fans must be turned up enough that the wind chill makes her feel cold.

Instead she prefers very hot air, but at a limited rate.
No sorry, you don't get to say this in America. Europeans brought guns, slavery, and racism to America, and I live with the consequences of it every day.

I don't pass off racism or gun violence as "a uniquely European problem which requires European efforts to fix". I study the nuances and try to help where I can.

You should think about doing the same.
Not entirely sure if any study demonstrating the benefits of meditation or mindfulness considers counting 9 to 1 repeatedly an act of either. That aligns much more closely with the advice given to those with panic disorders in how to ride out their panic attacks or prevent them when they feel coming on.

He didn’t father even 0.005% of all kids when he was alive, which means reaching 0.5% requires an increase vastly faster than simple population growth. That increase comes from ‘father mother father’ lines of decent being included.

The bar is SO much higher for self-driving cars.

I believe that if car crash deaths were reduced to 4,500/year in the U.S. with only self-driving cars on the road — a 90% drop from last year's actual 45,000 — an overwhelming majority of Americans would still reject self-driving cars because of the loss of agency involved.

I found it pretty weird that they would introduce that as a tag, which seems orthogonal to the license. Shouldn't the creator's wishes on usage rather be reflected directly in the license itself? Also, as CC-BY-ND disallows remixing, doesn't that already disqualify it completely from being used in training AI models?

In other news, the settings menu of Pi Imager is brilliant. It automagically fills in your RSA public key, your WiFi details, and other time-saving details. I can't believe how hard we had to fight the RPi devs to make the feature usable and stop hiding it behind a weird keypress combo (to the point we released a fork). They were obsessed the extra options in there would confuse newcomers too much. Those devs were weirdly condescending and really hard to work with, I won't bother again.
It also makes audits easier. If a lawyer asks "who owns the copyright to your code?", these pieces of text provide an answer vs random hand-waving. This can be important, for example if said lawyer works for someone about to pay you $$$$$ for your code.

The reason is the title of this forum post. Proof of work is precisely what we are seeking here. There is no magic wand solution to this problem.
Caste comes from the Portuguese word "castas", the caste system is widespread in Europe.

The hierarchy in Europe is

Clergy, Nobility, Landowners, Merchants, Tradesmen, Peasants, People working with sewage, carcasses etc...

The fact that the Church had a monopoly on god gave rise to the rigid hierarchies. The king was the representative of god and was conferred powers through the church.

When the colonialists set foot in India, they were faced with a problem there were too many gods & no central authority. The modern hierarchies and pyramids that you are presented with is an oversimplification and invention of the British to centralize their control.

Many European carry their family profession in their surname, this is often understood as caste in modern India.
Actually caste is far more tangible than something like skin color. It is encoded into birth certificates etc in India and is immutable. You can change religions but your caste carries into the new one.
I mean, someone from rural America who never watches the news would likely feel scared in Seattle. Doesn't mean they are an any point during that fear in any danger.

Framing it as desensitization isn't quite right. That implies that the city folk are mistaken in their perceptions and can't see how bad or dangerous their surroundings are. The city folk have a more correct view of the city than suburbanites and out-of-towners.

If anyone is desensitized to homelessness in the city, it's the people who no longer treat the homeless as people imo.

(sorry for the delayed reply - I would've preferred to be prompt to keep things conversational. But HN said I was going too fast and blocked me from commenting for a while. Which makes me think I got muted due to flagging or something. I posted 3 replies here about Seattle and got immediately hit with it).

Right, this is just Dawkin's-type nonesense with a patronizing mask on.

In what way is even our modern scientific secularism not ultimately the same kind of faith that the author thinks is "dumb"?

Yes, yes, empiricism, method, peer review, the proof is in the technology pudding. All so many things that still produce a mind ultimately indistinguishable from a religious fanatic who is assured in their beliefs, mobilized to tell people they are wrong..

One can't help but have some kind of faith, you have to believe in something. Putting your belief in an entire enterprise of empirical observation doesn't change the act itself, your not smarter because you happen to live at this time where you can put your belief into this particular enterprise of modern science, its just the cards you were dealt.

I have had several cars with automatic temperature control and there is a lot of variability in the quality of the systems. My 06 F150 the system was terrible always having to adjust the temp up and down, but my 07 BMW X3 I set the temperature and never had to adjust it year round. My current vehicle is a 2022 Ford Maverick and the climate control is pretty consistent. If I am wearing a jacket in the car it is set to 66 and if I am not it is 68.

That second tank is caused by light at night.

In my opinion, most people who say they are night owls are just light sensitive.

If we didn't have so much light in our environment at night we would be bored to sleep. On top of this, there is also a physiological effect from light. It suppresses melatonin and makes you feel newly awake to be in anything above the intensity of candlelight.

Of course there are social elements to staying up late and partying. But unless you are a party animal (and it's great if you are, the world needs more happy socialization) it's hard to believe that this causes you to stay up late every night.
