> drivers are hostile against pedestrians and cyclists getting "in their way"

In the past year two drivers purposefully drove up to my bike, matched speed, and made it clear they do not like cyclists.

One was civil, but the other wad swerving the car dangerously and shouting obceneties.

Unfortunelty I don't have a dashcam or anything to record the number plate and report the latter one.
Book Review: Software Architecture: The Hard Parts
I wish that people thought for themselves and did their own research. In that case, we'd get countless different, nuanced opinions.

Instead, we mostly get a tiny number of stereotypical opinions that people passively acquire from their favored forms of media. As if listening to Joe Rogan for example were "doing research".

Any and all software is a burden.
I posted this Atlantic article because I noticed something unusual yesterday. My Yahoo news feed (which usually contains a healthy dose of political bias) had 3 articles against EVs.

Here's another. All at once, where before coverage was almost universally positive.

Linux Logo Prototype
Stallman seems to be somewhat jealous that Linux did what his software couldn't. And I'm saying this as a person who loves GNU software, philosophy and greatly respects Stallman. Just because your used a few GNU build tools, doesn't mean you should call it GNU.
43ms is quite a slowdown isn't it? Handful of joules at least.
It's also good to hire people who are skilled at correcting bad code in general. This is also a good litmus(?) test to see the interesting ways people come to solutions to other's faults.

"While it's nice to know these laws exist, what would you really do with it?"

This is exactly how I feel about tenant laws in the US. It's great they exist, but who's going to get a lawyer to stay somewhere they aren't wanted. All these laws that protect the vulnerable still require a lawyer to enforce them. Lawyers aren't accessible to most.
My impression is that "innocent until proven guilty" is what Europe does, and that's what many want the US to switch to.

edit: Oops, I typed that backwards, I meant to say "guilty until proven innocent".
It may sound silly, but isn't it time night owls advocated for themselves?

Night owl advocacy?! You lot won't shut up about it!

Personally, I don't care as long as a workday has some overlap. But I've watched these same "advocates" been granted the right to timeshift, then watched the same try to schedule 7pm meetings!

You're welcome?!?
A good therapist doesn't just talk about root causes, imo. A good therapist talks about healthy coping mechanisms, and ways to get out of negative thought cycles
I’m of the opinion that there is something massively wrong with our food and that the Europeans do far better, yet this article is a stinker.

My only takeaway are the specific names of some chemicals I can now go read about.
It’s fine for the office to keep it that way is what I mean. They have no incentive to change it. I agree it’s sadistic.
I had a 2019 i5 MacBook and the fans would be blasting and the thing still roasting hot. It’s incredible how just one year later they released something revolutionary
This is not my view of how it should be, this is my view of how it is today. I went through the process myself

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has what you are looking for: https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/consumer/additives/pages/ta...

It says it was last updated in 2012 though, so might be outdated.

According to their table, the food colouring “Quinoline yellow FCF” aka “D+C Yellow No 10” (E104) is allowed in food in EU, but banned in food and beverages by the FDA. (Although, I read elsewhere the FDA does allow it in cosmetics and medicines, and that it is also disallowed in food in Canada)

Per the table, other food/beverage additives allowed in EU but banned in US include vegetable carbon (E153) and cyclamate (E952).

Furthermore, E122 (Azorubine/Carmoisine), E124 (Ponceau 4R), E142 (Green S), E151 (Brilliant black BN) and E155 (Brown HT) are all food colourings which are not explicitly banned by the FDA, but no manufacturer has ever applied for FDA approval to use them in food, but they are approved in the EU.

Everything in the table is allowed in Australia/New Zealand - the two countries have common food standards.
Nginx is not relatively simple. It's not easy. It's an unintuitive, poorly documented minefield.

I agree with you in principle, but in practice mthese services replace dozens of hours of banging your head against software that's one misstep from blowing your legs clean off.

Sometimes, you have better things to do than tweaking nginx configs using the average of a dozen tutorials and docs that might as well be written in middle English.

I don't have better things to do, which is why I bothered. I'm not sure if it was really worth it. Cloudflare took 5 minutes to set up.
I have been told that Trungpa said "they always run".

The context was people on retreats jumping up from their meditation cushion and running away as fast as they can, not to reach some destination, but just to escape. I've never witnessed this, but I never did many retreats.

The practice wasn't the jhanas, it was meditation on emptiness. The idea is that when you achieve a certain level of realisation into emptiness, a sudden and irreversible change occurs, like a seismic shift, which results in terror. The practioner runs mainly to get away from the place where it happened (i.e., the cushion). Apparently they keep running until they feel safe.

I was told that the jhanas (roughly, single-pointed concentration) were particularly risky, because it's easy to do them wrong. Note that the jhanas are not a type of mindfulness practice; the author seems to conflate them.

> mainstream branding of mindfulness meditation as a panacea for all our woes.

The fundamental purpose of mindfulness practice in Buddhism is to convince yourself that your sense of selfhood is false. Because we are so strongly attached to the sense of selfhood, achieving that conviction is going to be a wrench. In western psychology, the loss of a sense of selfhood is called "dissociation", and is a pathology. McMindfulness ignores all that.

I once had negative experiences of meditation on emptiness; I was told to stop doing it. I'm quite certain that my experiences were not the result of any realisation!
> But replacing a Macbook M1 with a Thinkpad only makes sense if the Thinkpad is better in some aspects, not if it's just good enough. Otherwise you would just keep your somewhat better laptop and replace it later if you ever have to, right?

Being able to remove the SSD (to recover data), to easily replace parts and repair the computer (especially when travelling a lot), to keep control and ensure a long-tife to your machine (rather than being stuck with no software upgrade when Apple decides the machine is too old), having better connectivity (hdmi, ethernet, sd...), etc. All of those are aspects where the Thinkpad is better than the M1 and can effectively be considered as upgrades ! Raw CPU horsepower and battery life are not the only criteria that matters.
(and maybe once the author realized that, he also considered it was worthwhile to sell his M1 while it still had some value on the 2nd hand market rather than keep it and lose all the value if anything happens to the machine that is not easily fixable)
Ah that's a shame. Maybe I've just been lucky then.
I'd call that prudence rather than lack of courage lol
How fast? Can it do https://github.com/jheusser/satcoin now? If it can, don't tell me. Just go break Bitcoin.
Uh, how exactly? What's unfalsifiable about self-reflection leading to painful confrontations, or those confrontations being provocative in ways that can manifest differently depending on the person? To name just one superficial aspect of mindfulness.

Are you claiming that sports exercises are unfalsifiable? Because the principle is the same, except that we're talking about the mind instead of physical fitness.
Only a complete mangling of the English language would translate that into No.

What he said was yes, it’s extremely likely that’s the case, but he’s not gonna give an unqualified yes because it’s still a very high percentage. They can’t point to any individual case and say that this person wouldn’t have cancer if he has been eating in Europe.
C makes it difficult to write allocators and doubly linked lists too. It doesn’t yell at you when you make them, but they are difficult to write nonetheless, because we see that it’s easy to write incorrect code if you’re not very, very careful.
This is an excellent point, but I have to tell you that it gets worse at the middle of the day because 8am courses are taken by a self-selecting group of students ("I want the 8am" and "I didn't start registering until the last minute"). The parking issue picks up at 10 am and nobody can find a spot - I drive around the faculty lots for 15 minutes on my MWF semesters and emerge at 5 pm to find everybody gone (as you'd expect). By 11 students are parked on top of berms, in staff spots (a ticket? the price of doing business), in motorcycle spots, everywhere. My course meetings start for real 5 minutes after posted time; it's all warmup for those in dorms who get there at the hour.
Does it solve SAT in P?
"because she already knows what causes of her depression are and does not see any use in debating them further as they only bring her down."

Hard to advice without further knowing details, but I could relate in a way, that the global state of the world causes me depression, but I cannot change the root cause. But I can change my attitude towards things. Deal with the problems I can solve and accept the rest. Spot patterns, where I indulge myself into misery and choose a different track (if possible).

And if we are talking about a childhood trauma, this person wants to avoid, then you can compare it to a splinter that is still in the flesh, causing misery and infection - removing the splinter will hurt and it will bleed - but after the splinter is gone, the wound can heal for good.

This doc has some info about current pitch size for the "bump map" of where the chiplets connect to the substrate.

https://www.opencompute.org/documents/odsa-openhbi-l-v1-0-rc...

Page 38 says "OpenHBI-L specifies the minimum bump pitch (min) to range from 110um to 130um for manufacturability
considerations".

Edit: Also related and interesting...

"One of the key points AMD spoke about...is how each of the silicon dies are attached to the package. In order to enable a pin-grid array desktop processor, the silicon has to be affixed to the processor in a BGA fashion. AMD stated that due to the 7nm process, the bump pitch ...reduced from 150 microns on 12nm to 130 microns on 7nm. This doesn’t sound like much, however AMD stated that there are only two vendors in the world with technology sufficient to do this."

Depends on how valuable you think your time is. Benefits of not going Apple include not having to figure out which Docker containers are compatible or fast enough on your new hardware, not having to deal with macOS, not having to upgrade the entire machine when components fail or when you run into SKU limits.

The author says he lives in Europe, taking the laptop out fir repairs can easily take an entire afternoon of travel that could be spent more productively elsewhere.

Pick the best tools for the job. Sometimes that involves spending a couple thousand extra for a shiny Macbook, sometimes that involves spending an afternoon setting up a Thinkpad.
Not necessarily true. I have seen in the past employees be “laid off” solely due to their performance. Rather than fire the employee for performance reasons they opt to eliminate the role altogether, and not rehire for it. The team had a lot of flexibility and mobility in roles, so they could reallocate people to pick up any slack. I think they do this partially for the benefit of the person being let go, and partially because it’s more “paperwork” otherwise.
From listening to the fall of civilization podcast, it seems that a lot of empires went down from too many heirs. From memory Mansa Musa lived very old and had more than 50 heirs as well. The Malian empire did not long last his death.

What does "give the project" mean?
If platforms such as Reddit really wanted to protect their users, they would try to avoid placing themselves in the position where even they can deanonymize their users.

Otherwise it's like Apple crying they're only complying with the law when the CCP makes them censor apps, when it was Apple who placed themselves in the position of inescapable censor for their users.
I don't think an e-paper display would work in this case, though? The nature of two way mirrors requires that the screen actually emits light (instead of just reflecting it) for it to come through.

Maybe an OLED panel would do the trick though, since most of the screen will be turned off. Probably much more expensive to get one of those, though.
"Real" in what way? I would say that something is definitely real if I can agree with other people that it's there, while other things can at best be put in the "maybe" pile.

Whatever you experience while meditating, other people won't be able to experience it, so it can't go in the "definitely real" pile. So the fact that it can't be studied scientifically definitely does make it less real, in the sense that your can't say that it's real with the same confidence, even when you're the one experiencing it.
Not if the seeds don't survive at all unless they're buried. The video mentions dehydration and "being eaten" as some major reasons why seeds on the surface don't survive. Also, this seems to be an invention aimed at seeding/reforesting large amounts of land at once from airplanes. Using many more seeds than needed may be cost prohibitive for large areas. Shaving up a tree and making a billion of these tiny wooden thingies seems like it could be automated extremely well so they might be very cheap per unit.

> Night time is equated with freedom

Interesting thought. I enjoy being alone and have always equated early morning with freedom. There are very few distractions at 5am. Night owls just get to that sweet spot in time from the other direction.
Well, I don't think that complexity "is all you need". "All you need" for what, anyway?

I think I understand what you mean by human exceptionalism, but I think it's besides the point. We don't even understand the intelligence of unicellular organisms, or insects. We have no "AI" that's half as smart as a cockroach.

The point is, there was never anything consequential that we invented, or discovered, all by chance. People always had some understanding of how things work, even if it wasn't understanding in the context of modern science, so even when it was only empirical knowledge, not formalised in the language of mathematics; even if it wasn't full knowledge, and yes, there are still many things we don't quite understand today. Off the top of my head, if I got that right, we don't understand exactly why or how anesthesia works. And yet, we have trained professionals who study and practice anesthesia, and they generally manage to avoid killing their patients, most of the time.

Unfortunately, we have nothing like that about intelligence. There's people studying the subject, coming at it from many different points (insect intelligence, IQ metrics, psychology, neuroscience, what have you) but there is not a body of knowledge that we can apply practically to show how intelligence works, and what happens when we do this, or what happens when we do that, to it.

Which means, if we do achieve "AGI" or whatchamacallit, at the present time it's not going to be because someone knew how to do it, but because someone got really lucky (or unlucky, perhaps).
> It doesn't

All the published comparisons disagree with this.

Do you have a non-youtube source? The only place I found which said UK had a better healthcare was "investopedia"… and their criteria didn't seem to have anything to do with the health of the patients.
It's _way_ more obvious, and idiotic, than you're making it sound.

For instance, someone sounds like he's replying to a question in the meeting, except they're talking about [ERP app] instead of what we're talking about, and we don't use [ERP app]. This person can't hear any of us telling them that we're not talking about [ERP app], and just keep going on and on, pausing occasionally for responses that none of us can hear. Absolutely no doubt that this person was taking a call from another job, and turned off their speaker instead of the mike on our meeting.

We've had two different remote-only people do this to us that I know about. Both people had been weirdly and disappointingly less capable a couple months after hire than they had appeared in interviews and early in their jobs.
This!

My wife used to tell me that kids should be asleep by 2100 because some study showed it is better for them. But what does 2100 mean? It is totally arbitrary. I could accept a study that would reference sunrise/sunset but a specific time?

I would always ask her "is this winter or summer time?" just to show how this does not really make sense. Other times I would say "what if we lived right at the point where a timezone changes?". A few meters difference means 1 hour difference. Which 2100 is the correct one? Or what if 2 people live in the same timezone at the opposite ends of it?

I believe most of these studies are performed in the USA. I have never lived there (I am in Greece, have also lived in Germany) but the feeling I have from some movies and shows is that there are places in USA where the sun comes up at 0500, maybe earlier (and accordingly also sets early). I do not think that the sun ever rises that early here (I actually just looked, throughout the year the earliest is ~0600 summer time). It is only natural to also have different habits on when to wake up/go to bed. And also 2100 (or whatever other time) to mean something else entirely.

Meta-disgust (“ugh disgust about code”) feels like another instance of what the article talks about.

If code doesn’t really matter cause “business,” then I think you are right when you say business is more your interest. That’s cool! I go through similar feelings at times.
I have a feeling that a lot of this is due to a 'self-fulfilling prophecy' type problem. Generally high performing students (or more senior ones) get first dibs on classes, who will generally take the later classes. Thus lower performing students get the early classes.

Please remember that having a loved one that deals with depression is itself a big challenge and good reason for therapy too. The fact that she might need it "more" is not a reason to avoid seeking help yourself (if you feel that you need it).
As you quoted (skeptically): The concept of endless growth is a key ideological component of capitalism.

What people (shareholders) want is more. Next quarter's profit ought to be more than last quarter's profit, forever. Why? Because more is better. More is the be all, end all. More, more, more.

"Productivity increases" cannot keep this going... forever.

As an early bird and someone who rarely goes to bed before 11pm, I had the opposite experience. I think there's a middle ground here. There's no reason for a class, work, or anything to start before 9am, or after 4pm.

I feel like Cloudflare could do a lot better at letting the customer know they are using rules managed by them and how that affects their traffic.

Unrelated to ChatGPT, fact checking seems like a great exercise for schools to teach modern tech literacy. Imagine doing this with a tweet, a random anecdote, a video clip, etc.
