> the FDA is perfect and changing them in any way, shape or form would destroy THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

Absolutely nobody said anything of the sort, and I'm not sure what your goal is in caricaturing the position of people with somewhat different opinions than you.
Mind disclosing the name of retreat and place where one can attend?

COVID vaccines have a specific use that nothing else provides. When there was the slightest bit of concern about the J&J vaccines (which turned out to be unfounded), the FDA did ban its usage.

The food additives in questions are not saving anyone’s lives even in the best case scenario. They’re only making bread last longer by a day or so.
Only difference is, that people back then had to leave the house and show themselves in public wearing the mask. Today, you can just stay inside and order everything online.

That being said, the masks would still fulfill their purpose of highlighting criminals out on the street. At least until social media turns it into a trend and people willingly start wearing the masks to be edgy.
Basically it's unusable but it still turns on? Is this what apple users consider as "durability"?
I mean as long as you have done some degree of contracting or consulting with the corp you made or at least can reasonably say that you planned to, it's not really lying.

When pressed it can be as simple as "maintaining a corporation for any work I do (when not working as a FTE/salaried employee) is preferable for accounting purposes". Of course if they press further you should probably have your accounting in order/understand the topic so you can explain this without looking like an idiot but it's unlikely they'd press you much further than that.

Keys to productivity include scoping the work in a way where it can be done solo, and then convincing people to work a few hours during the day when either others aren’t, working or when you aren’t expected to be available. Go offline or invis on your work communications app. Close your email client. Try it 2 hours a day for 2 weeks and watch what happens.
Is the package system there something that Haiku invented, or was BeOS like this as well? I had a BeOS install at one point in the 90s, but don't remember how that worked.
> you don't need to burn insence sticks and bow k times before a statue to be a Buddhist.

That's what would be called "devotional practices". I didn't care for all that - pujas, foundation practices, 100,000 prostrations and so on. I wanted to do the insight practices, and gain insight.

What I later learned is that you have to do devotional practices as well as insight practices. A bird can't fly with just one wing. Devotional practices supposedly give you the confidence to deal with awakening insight.

/me no longer a practitioner or a Buddhist.
This is exactly what Karl Marx predicted 200 years ago, except he saw things in the context of industrialization and mechanical automation as opposed to AI and digital automation.

In practice my old macbook fell apart after 4 years and I've since stopped buying them.

Now I also don't need dongles, nor a dedicated charger.
My wife has chronic migraines, and we live in the US. We visited Europe last year for 3 weeks and she was migraine free. We figured it had to be the food, and talk about maybe moving…
So not having the tool to measure something makes it not part of reality? Makes me think of how our worldview every now and then expands, from geocentrism to heliocentrism and so on. Surely the earth revolved around the sun before it was understood to be that way. And surely our experiences are real even though our minds are isolated from eachother. In Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus, the devil told Adrian roughly this: Your brain is sick, yes you are hallucinating me, but that doesn't make me less real.
I think you mean "guilty until proven innocent" which the EU calls "principle of precaution"
I then get those macs put linux on them and use them another 6+ years :)
I think these things are well known, and the problem is that meditation is being lifted from its original context by people who don't understand it - and who can't navigate these things that are supposed to be navigated with teachers.

And then top it off by corporations promoting mindfulness as a panacea for everything so they don't have to worry about fixing underlying issues and can keep us running for longer, and I'm surprised this isn't more commonly talked about.
Won't someone think of the profits those carcinogen additives provide to the share holders?
I lose weight when traveling to Europe even though I cook all my food both in the US and Europe.

What I have noticed is that buying from my local farmers market has helped a ton in the U.S. I still get some staples from the supermarket, but stuff like meat only comes from the farmers market now, and even if it might be significantly more expensive, it’s absolutely worth it because my health is doing so much better (even if I couldn’t objectively link it to this change, I wouldn’t be surprised that eating chicken that was raised running in an open farm and eating wild food, that I have seen with my own eyes is better for me than chicken living in their and thousands of other chicken’s feces).
It would also be inconsistent with every previous technological advancement.
They do this in the hopes of flipping to a bigger fish. They understand how bubbles work.
Only 4? I have an order of magnitude higher of unfinished tasks since December 2022 in my queue, and about 150 still assigned to me from all time. This is the life of a boring corporate developer in a highly hub & spoke software company where everyone lives in a vertical that is only allowed to speak to their direct manager.

Any time I try to just update the branch to bring it rebase onto current master, I'm pulled into another task that is the highest of high priorities, so high, it can't even be added to TFS, and I must drop everything I'm doing to handle.

I will usually get 4-10 phone calls during the task (most take me under a 2 hours) asking for my status, and after the PR is submitted, it will get ignored for a couple of weeks until inevitably there is a merge conflict, so I then need to drop everything I'm doing to handle it.

I very rarely get to finish a task in my job without being spirited away for hours, days, weeks, months, or even years before being allowed back on that task.
> c) want to be unable to charge other devices from your laptop.

You just charge them with battery pack.
Anything that happens only inside peoples’ minds is in a pretty tough realm to study. It’s okay to be afraid of it or to assume it doesn’t mean anything, but it would be really stretching “skepticism” to say that people don’t have visions/hallucinations of all kinds in response to meditative practice. You’d just be using “falsifiability” to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
I got laid off along with 30% of the company and 1 month later was contacted by my manager to let me know that he had put me on a “single point of failure, do not fire” list, and someone in HR managed to get some spreadsheets mixed up and I instead made it onto the list of people to be laid off. At this point I already had accepted another offer for more money, and obviously had less than stellar feelings towards the company, so I told them I wasn’t coming back.

Everyone wants to believe that the people and organizations holding their careers in their hands are competent, rational, and trustworthy. Unfortunately that is often not the case.
Scrolling the marketing website on iOS feels choppy. I’d prefer native drag gesture.
The last wave of "unicorns" has been hardly "disruptive" in the positive sense of the word. If most of them were to disappear, my life would just be a little more cumbersome, but it won't change in any material way.

DoorDash is nice, but restaurants delivered food before that too. Uber is nice, but it's barely better than the taxis it replaced - at least in my city. Airbnb is a good option, but if it were to disappear, I'll just do what I always did - get a hotel room.

Considering that it tooks tens of billions of dollars to create businesses that were at best "nice to have", I have to wonder what's "disruptive" about any of this stuff.
These sorts of disputes always amaze me. Reddit wants to make a stand without taking steps to actually protect users while the film companies push forward under the false pretense that the type of people who download their product would have paid for it save for a complicit ISP.

Type 2 can be managed, mitigated, and treated; but it cannot (currently) be cured. The actions taken may prevent all the symptoms, but the underlying condition is still there.

It's a Haiku thing. Added around 2018 if I recall correctly - see the linked lobste.rs thread in another of my comments where a Haiku developer gives some (really interesting) background on the development and effects on the community.
In software development, it probably increases earning potential, because you can outsource all the tedious coding to the AI and have more time to manage the big picture of how your software interacts with other components, is optimized for certain tasks, etc. So you can deliver more value in the same time frame.

Agreed. In fact a true follower of the Buddha would eventually get the point where they wish to try to integrate back into the business world if that’s where they came from. Lots of karma to resolve there lol.
How you got this? I tried T9, Polyphonic Ringtones, even tried to get a symbian simulator cause i thought its something in the menu.
> $1 menus go a long way in feeding a lot of poor people.

Right, and then you’re effectively pushing the worst quality, most processed, possibly carcinogenic and likely causing obesity/diabetes food on a group of already vulnerable people.

High quality and healthy food should be the least concern to people already struggling to make ends meet. How else do you want to lift them out of poverty otherwise?
I would consider video encoding as "really crunching the machine" though.
What tedious for you is essential for me. I take great care writing every line of my code. I'm actually paying for Copilot and use for repeating blocks of code. But that's a miniscule amount of time saved, like IDE autocomplete, just increases quality of life.

So far no AI written any substantial amount of not-completely-trivial code that I'd accept. And amount of time tweaking its output exceeds amount of time I'd spend writing that code.
I sort of think you just proved the author's point - you are using the AI to increase your productivity. People who cannot adjust in that way will be less productive and loose out.
Maybe there could be services like Patreon where you subscribe to support them, but the content made by creators is used to either train the AI or the embeddings are put in a vector database. Then when the user does a semantic search, it puts the results from creators or whatever type of curation first.

This could provide better search results for the user, at least some degree of attribution or citation for some searches, and a way to support creators at least a little bit.

It seems quite possible someone is already building such a system. I mean the alternative seems just to not even try to credit/support creators with these generative systems.

I wonder if there is a way to embed a token that is unique and 100% identifiable so it will always be recoverable somehow. Although that might not really make sense. But if it was possible maybe it could be used for attribution.
1000 a month is "successful" on patron?

Talk about a low bar.

ChatGPT might threaten mediocre writers, but not good ones, and never great ones.
I read this but I do not get the point of OSNOISE. I was thinking it would be used for better random number generation but the doc does not seem to confirm that.
I think ChatGPT's programming prowess might be a bit overblown. A majority development efforts are spent in adding functionality to existing code , fixing bugs and reducing technical debt. I am not sure ChatGPT can do this.
I have always thought that most, if not all, people that called themselves “content creators” are not providing much value. And in aggregate they are probably net negative due to their spamminess.

Yes, the term technically include book authors, artists and others as well, but those people don’t normally call themselves content creator. In fact I think that highlights the difference between the mindset: the “content creator” is all about pumping out quantity of content, quality be damned.

All of this is just a long way of saying that the decreased income security for “content creator” is less about the ability of ChatGPT, and more on the uselessness of a lot of “content” out there.
Miniscule amount over thousands iterations... adds up
That’s ridiculous. This is like saying that your job is linked to poor sleep and performance.

Plan and prioritize.

If it’s too much, you are either over loaded or out having fun at night. Either way, decrease the work load.

Theories like this one from Nature does more harm than good, by placing blame on the school or hours rather than the students lifestyle or choices.

Snowflakes creating more snowflakes.
A cultural addiction to dualism meeting a practice that opens one up to what lies beyond the innate denial of dualism will typically result in fear or pain. Setting expectations about what one will or won't uncover when one digs into the unknown subconscious is a recipe for all this.

A possible counterassumption:

You are on low-priority projects because you aren't trusted on high-priority projects or have been out-maneuvered for them by other senior team members, or don't have enough political capital to convince others of the importance of your project to make it high-priority.
I'm kinda happy that I live in this age as an office worker and not in a factory during the industrial revolution. Those jobs all disappeared but do we really miss them?

It's the menial work that gets offloaded to machines. I don't see current AI coming up with new ideas for example.
Especially since it's going against everything we did since the invention of the steam engine lol

Like yes in a perfect world time saved would go back to workers, it doesn't though.

A machine could do in a minute what a knitter would do in a day, it doesn't mean knitters got a 7 minute work week
> Searching for information is about to experience a paradigm shift as big as using browsers instead of phone books

A more appropriate comparison would be that information is about to experience a paradigm shift as big as reading blogs instead of books.
A choice requires an active decision. Some companies prefer to use the "proper" version of Java, and have allocated a budget to pay Oracle. In other companies, no choice may have been made until the Oracle auditors knock at the door.
Famous last words. Just the other day I asked it to do something somewhat non-trivial: write an asynchronous streaming parser for Server-Sent Events in Rust using reqwest and nom. It cranked out not only working, but _sophisticated_, code that just needed some minor fixes to account for version updates in about 20 seconds. It was pretty eye opening.
existing* jobs; but it also opens up entire new markets that weren't feasible prior.

In the US as an example; ~150 years ago 80% of the population had to farm to feed the country. Today it's 1%. Yea; '97% of jobs lost!' - but it gave the workforce the power/freedom to build other new/amazing things also.

I know that's a trite example; but I like it as it makes it clear that the status quo is not an immutable (or entirely positive) thing.
I use Teams on Windows and some things still work there. I guess development is further ahead on Linux and Mac
> Sellers often hide these additional, mandatory charges by using small type, vague descriptions or misleading wording such as “service fees,” by bundling them with legitimate charges like taxes, or revealing them clearly only after the consumer has invested time in the transaction.

The tiny libertarian inside of me recoils at the description of taxes as legitimate, but that's a point for a different type of discussion. I'd just like to call attention to the concept of hidden fees being called out. And remember, that's fees, as in plural.

Government officials are pointing out that multiple end of sale charges can be confusing and misleading dark patterns? Ok, great, lets analyze that logic through for consistency.

Governments are engaging in the same bullshit.

Look at how many Government Fees and taxes are on my basic phone bill.

> City District Sales Tax - Telecom

> City Sales Tax - Telecom

> County Public Safety Communications Surcharge

> State Sales Tax - Telecom

> State Public Safety Communications Surcharge

There might be at least a few more, but I can't quite confirm if they're actually taxes or not.

You might say that paying a tax is a necessary part of a functional society. Again, I'm not here to debate that.

But why the bullshit with having an entire pile of random taxes given in a piecemeal fashion? If it's misleading and complicated for consumers to understand payments with 500 different surcharges and fees, certainly consumers also aren't understanding their true tax burden if they're nickle and dimed with tons of extra taxes that are only visible at the end of the process and not spelled out up front. If it's good for consumers to know about all of their commercial fees, shouldn't the same logic apply to taxation? Shouldn't voters be made to understand their true tax burden in the simplest fashion possible?

What were the steps that got you to this conclusion?
I don’t think you can spend much emotional investment on those songs. Modern music uses less words and notes than previous decades as well as avoiding melody, time signatures, triple eighths, codas
I don’t think anyone would support that, considering it’s a bizarre hypothetical you just made up as a non-sequiter.

If Tolkien decided to change all the Orcs to Canadians, I’m sure it would be similarly poorly received, but it doesn’t really matter does it? Imagining hypotheticals and then pretending to be mad at them isn’t really good discussion, IMO.
I would imagine if a UK insurer calls up another UK insurer, things get resolved in an orderly fashion, especially as stuff will tend to net out over time. They can also go to a UK court to resolve if it ever came to it.

The depiction of Commodus by historians was not favorable either. He's widely thought of as the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire.
What on earth is a "weakly written opinion piece" just as a matter of arguing this through contrast

More to the point: Honestly my 8ams in 1991 had these exact problems! Parking, partying, sleeping in class, the whole schlemozzle. We did not have phones but we did have TVs - there are millions of people who for a lack of something better to do have entire Seinfeld/Simpsons episodes locked in their heads.

But considering the amount of students whose primary social activity is "I go back to my dorm room and play CoD with my high school friends" you have a point.

But I'd suggest that the activity indicates a mental wellness issue for first gen student. Loneliness, insecurity - it impacts their digital hygiene and can't be addressed by "be more adult." That said, I see thriving club and extracurricular activity here, too ("when hanging out in groups") and I think it's healthy but largely unregulated in that all kinds of unhealthy interpersonal interactions emerge there. Or is binge drinking no longer an issue?

And yr professors...well. These adults are doomscrolling and gaming and going to shows and being parents and all that stuff on top of the assignments and prep that they have, too. So I don't think this is all reducible to media use. I remember just having to stare blankly the five minutes before classes began, where students now just look at their phones, so it's not like students staring at phones is something GenXers wouldn't have done. I like to get there and just maintain uninterrupted eye contact with them until they are suitably freaked out. It's a pedagogy
Yeah, display, battery, and storage replacement being doable is absolutely key to me. But even more importantly, the display needs to be well shielded, especially if it's an LCD panel, because with those one crack is enough to make the entire display unusable. The Macbook I had was very vulnerable if it fell and landed in its side. It's because Apple prioritise a thin bezel over durability, I think.
This is how I view it. The actual servers and computers run machine code. And we're now at a point where we can describe intent to a machine and have an ok bit of code come out of the AI process.

Now the trick will be making sure that we don't over train the bots and end up having a really complex refined description language that the AI interprets to make code, that itself just get boiled down by interpreters and compilers a few times until the CPU finally get's the instructions it actually needs. Hopefully we'll find balance.

I like to describe AI's impact on coding like the invention of the nailgun for carpenters. No ones job is going away, things are going to get more complex and done faster.
Very excellent team.I really appreciate your work! And I benefited a lot from your team and built my own product Fireboom based on WG.Thanks!
