> Not sure why you would carry around metadata the filesystem is already tracking for you.

Because bmap files are independent of the filesystem and OS, and thus would probably like to work even with filesystems which don't support sparse files, and OS which don't expose holes?

For instance until NFS 4.2 in 2016 you could write sparse files to an NFS volume, but there was no way to detect holes when reading. exfat doesn't support sparse files at all. And according to their man pages, OpenBSD and NetBSD have yet to support SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA (which are non-standard extensions of POSIX lseek(2)).

Plus according to its history the bmaptools project was created about a year after the release of kernel 3.1, which introduced support for SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA. Doesn't take much of a leap to assume that the project's creator didn't consider that widespread enough to be reliable (Debian wouldn't release a 3.x-based version until the following year).
It doesn't fit the criteria, because being outside is not ASMR either.

I don't think it matters because you continuously hyper focus on the situation of the individual and repeat your arguments as if you've said something effective

Capitalism is a system in which workers are exploited and have the value they produce extracted by capital owners who provide no value. We have a system which exploits those who have no choice but to work for low pay high risk jobs. Capital owners already have captured the regulatory mechanisms which are supposedly intended to protect workers and consumers.

If you allow someone to sell themselves for experimentation when they're dying, the people who already have incredible influence over workers and their conditions along with regulatory mechanisms intended to keep people safe you now provide an incredibly perverse incentive for capital owners who want experimental subjects to ensure that conditions for workers and consumers are unsafe as possible while continuing to suppress wages.

There are far better ways to help workers who may be in dire straits but that requires making systemic changes instead of focusing on some gain for one individual. It's the same reason why charity is a bad mechanism for actual change

Personally, I view Apple more as a fashion house that sells tech.
Not sure what makes you think I haven’t watched the video! I watched it in full. But I don’t agree that 3D at home is a “holy grail” - for starters I’ve not seen any clear evidence of market demand.
Ideological fervor.
I used to monitor multiple long running tests that way with “& banner done”
I am a very happy Silverblue user. There is a learning curve to adapt workflow to containers, Toolbox and serious Flatpak tuning, but got a solid and clean workstation experience. The clutter-free that prevents the gradual rot of the system pay by itself.

I like it so much that 2 years ago I jumped to the Fedora Core/IOT thing for my servers. A somewhat deeper learning curve (ignition files...) but very pleased to used lightweight Fedora rpm-ostree based immutable OS on metal and virtual. Cleanest rock solid server experience on Linux servers (that actually updates worry free) of my career.
Because 1 BTC is 100 million satoshis.
Credit Card Points Are Being Paid for by the Poor
A few years back, I had some older English (pre-plastic?) notes. I had to take them to a bank to exchange for "proper" notes because stores wouldn't accept them.
Many students in grad school are very close — maybe one decision away from that, and sometimes continuing in the program or not is that decision.

1B SATS is 10 BTC
There are 100 million sats in a bitcoin; it's just a fractional unit, like cents to dollars
100 million satoshi = 1 BTC

1 billion satoshi = 10 BTC

It’s easier to just say 10 BTC. Also it makes the headline shorter
What a fascinating article; thanks for sharing. Much more interesting than the top one.

It gave me increased appreciation for living in the period of history we're all living. I already had a perception that the fast economic growth of the last few centuries was nothing more than a fleeting blip in the history of human race, but never thought about the physical constraints imposed by energy and thermodynamics.
Think about how your confidence in yourself affects your future earnings expectation and your willingness to take on debt or pay it off. that confidence can change over night due to internal and external factors. So you yourself also create and destroy money with your changing confidence.

“115 years later” doesn’t have as nice a ring to it :)
1 billion SATS = 10 bitcoin

1 SATS = 0.00000001 bitcoin

Unsure why the headline was edited. Probably to get more attention as btc draws more attention than SATS
Can't speak to movies but at this age I loved Star Trek Voyager. Lots of episodic episodes facing real issues/moral decisions.. insightful.
Well, apparently, it differs in the sense that people don't call the final product art.
It’s a nostr (blockchain “Twitter”) instance; comparable to the individual instances of Mastodon, for example.
Besides the cost, they died because for a large portion of the population and a large portion of the supposed 3D media, the 3D effect didn’t work. It just gave people headaches and eye strain.
OK, I'll try Orca, thanks!

For getting confirmation (like when I've got a first version of my app), do you have a suggestion for a forum where to ask?
Seems that there were follow up studies after this one in 2008 which raise doubts about the conclusion that the lake was formed by an impactor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
I don’t know enough about nostr to know what is being suggested here.

Would this entail creating a new VCS which has a server that communicates over nostr, as well as a GitHub-like frontend? Or just some nostr interface to git?

I like to say I'm a "Developer", or "Software Developer", and then I can describe further what I do as "creating things" for people to use.
I agree 100% with you that programming is art and a vehicle for so much creativity and liberty (think net.art, code poetry, the hundred different ways to make the same function), but even then I feel that programming is just a part of the creation process. So I tend to prefer Developer
Not necessarily. Even in people, memory is (albeit very complex) retrieval. I mean, how many of your x years of memories are in the forefront on your mind at any given moment?

Not the creator so i won't make any definite statements on how it works on the memory side but if you embedded and stored the chain of thought "how to use x API" generations and then retrieved them anytime the model was going to use the same API, it would certainly simulate a memory of sorts without needing any incremental training.
Maybe his mistakes with Twitter is exactly how he came to realise the importance of not letting giant corporations rule over the social networks we all rely on. Twitter, GitHub, and so on and so forth.
> what accounts for a large part of the performance gap with x86 is the fact Apple's compilers can target their specific microarchitecture and optimize for that, because they know its performance characteristics well.

For every article about shopping we would be seeing tens of thousands of articles about breathing then.
I do wonder if tech companies are opening the door to competitors with this neutering of LLMs.

Assuming that we have a free market, I assume this will come down to what consumers want.

My guess is that people want “her” and they want “her” to have a personality, but they will want it to be compliant.
Even if your getting a few interviews is something then nothing. How are you approaching these interviews?

Your track record is not a black mark, it's just a busy market out there. You have to pitch it just right to get it. Mangle the Tech Product Manager skills with your dev stuff. Interviews are tough and practice beforehand.

Ignore what your friends make because that will sour your mood.
bitcoin is divided down to 8 decimal places, and the smallest piece is called a satoshi. I.e 1 sat = 1e-8 btc; then 1e9 sats = 10 btc.

This is a very odd take. To me, it's a way to transfer additional income--for people who make a lot of charges on an expense account--to an individual that isn't taxed.

Aside from the skepticality of the proposed product & business idea, on the technical side there is tremendous value from accessible, robust and portable eye tracking. During my undergrad I was fortunate enough to work at a neuroscience lab where we built a 3D Unity game interfaced with a joystick, ECoG, and eye tracker to study attention and learning. If nothing has changed, Tobii is still the global leader in eye tracking hardware [1]. They have a wide ranging of products to choose from depending on your budget.

Exactly.

For example plead read this old article very carefully: "Police Are Using DNA to Generate 3D Images of Suspects They've Never Seen" https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkgma8/police-are-using-dna-... HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33527901 (6 points | 3 months ago | 1 comment)

The picture is a high resolution image than make the system look accurate. They don't use the AI buzzword, but my guess it's only a mater of time. Anyway, the important paragraph is

> Seeing the composite image with no context or knowledge of DNA phenotyping, can mislead people into believing that the suspect looks exactly like the DNA profile. “Many members of the public that see this generated image will be unaware that it's a digital approximation, that age, weight, hairstyle, and face shape may be very different, and that accuracy of skin/hair/eye color is approximate,” Schroeder said.
Oh yes. There are many alternatives. I've also emailed myself in the past. It often requires additional taps on the iPhone before getting to the actual writing (create a new email, choose address, etc).

this is the correct take for Netflix and Christopher Nolan. The answer is they used to.

I read a forum where an engineer was working on a TV show would flip the show in his living room, bedroom, guest bedroom. Walking around the house making sure the sound was balanced everywhere, driving his wife insane.

It's not engineers making that decision it's Nolan overreaching "If you see it particularly in an IMAX theater, projected, it’s pretty remarkable". source -> https://www.indiewire.com/2020/11/christopher-nolan-director...

Not sure what his deal is. 'Nolan also admitted in a 2017 interview with IndieWire that his team decided “a couple of films ago that we weren’t going to mix films for substandard theaters,” adding, “We’re mixing for well-aligned, great theaters.”' source -> https://www.indiewire.com/2020/09/tenet-sound-mixing-backlas...

It's madness. Idk what Netflix's excuse is. Their spec sheet is 2600+ words. But I think the issue is this line "5.1 audio is required and 2.0 is optional." My best guess if you have 5 speakers and subwoofer it's fine. But if you're on cheap headphones or a laptop good luck.

Is mass innovation in the education sector slow because of scalability problems
For a very long time people have been repeating the same line: "the education system is outdated and was built on an old Prussian industrial model and change is needed". saying things like school kills creativity etc. Despite this very little has changed for the majority of people (mainly those in the public education system); and there are a handful of school systems/schools that have solved this problem all over the US but it seems to just stop there. I know trying to innovate in the public education sector is slow for obvious reasons but shouldn't the private sector be able to scale easier, or at least at a faster pace than it is now.
Microsoft treats Bing Chat like a customer service worker: be helpful but emotionless, and in case of disagreement just hang up.

To me rock bottom is a storytelling term. So it’s relative to the story that is being told.
I’ll give it a shot:

It is rock bottom for the glowing persona you constructed to match your parents’ expectations. You learned to do this before you can remember, and the tendency to do so will be something you’ll need to learn to manage.

It is not rock bottom
for the actual you, and this you is only beginning to realize they even exist. Learn how to name your emotions. Force yourself to not care what others think through engaging in something permanently humbling and repeatedly making mistakes that others can see until it doesn’t bother you.

Learn how to engage with the idea of what other people think of you with mild scientific interest and amusement. The way they react to you usually says more about them than it does you.

Learn to not do the shiny thing that is so easy for you, and instead find every opportunity to relax the increasingly impossible level of control required to maintain the self-image you’ve constructed.

Learn to listen to your heart, and act on what it says.
Thanks! Yes - we are getting installed in a number of homes as well as businesses. We are still at the higher end of the market, but comparable in cost to a real skylight after install and maintenance cost - and you can put it in places where real windows or skylights are impossible. We are working on some pretty low cost models now and will have something this summer I think will work for most home owners. In some parts of the world we sell through partners who maintain their own pricing, so we don't have public pricing on the internet but I'm happy to give you some info if you shoot me an email at jonathan@innerscene.com or DM me here.

The 68k calculators are indeed delightful machines. You've found TIGCC - you should also be aware of GCC4TI, a fork of TIGCC due to the original maintainer not accepting contributions, and GTC-IDE which is an independent (non-gcc) C compiler that runs on the calculators themselves (although the frequent memory leaks render the development loop tedious - no memory protection means leaked memory is gone for good until you "reboot"). There is a mature independent OS called PedroM, and someone even made some progress porting 4.4BSD (PunixOS).
This sounds like fascism apologia. But it can't be, right?
Ternary minimizes both the length and number of different symbols used to express a range of numbers[1].

If you grew up in a toxic family of the type you're describing it could be that the hardest thing is to realise that as an adult you can do whatever you want. Sounds obvious and easy but can be really hard to internalise and act on. And it's the thing that matters most, because once you do have the feeling that you can do whatever you want, you can figure out what you want and do it and live a happy life. It will probably not happen overnight but rather over a long period of constant work, so find what you need to help you on this journey (therapy sounds like a good idea, just make sure that you are working with the right therapist).

I would ignore anyone telling you that your experience doesn't qualify as "rock bottom". You know best. What it really means is that you feel you've suffered enough and you're ready to do the work and move away from suffering and towards happiness and self actualisation. Even if it doesn't feel like that right now, this is a very good place to be.

That's one valid interpretation, yes. We don't choose our genetic makeup, which determines (along with environmental factors) the structure of our brain, and therefore also our mind.

Another valid interpretation is the one we're discussing: that humans are not a special case and that all complex systems can be said to have agency, even if we are not able to recognize it as such.
