I have a wild pet theory that drinking caffeine consistently prevents people from dreaming. Antidoteally, people that I meet that avoid regular caffeine seem to report having dreams on a regular basis. Conversely, the people I know that drink a lot of caffeine seem to say that they never remember their dreams.

I've also noted today many people who take cannabis regularly also do not dream often.

> Unclear what benefit there is to stopping people addicted to opiates getting those opiates cleanly and cheaply.

“Addicted to opiates” is a big spectrum. Someone dependent on a mild recreational dose can possibly continue like that for a long time if, and only if, they don’t try to escalate their dose. The issue is that the recreational value wears off quickly as tolerance sets in, which means they’re only taking the opiate to avoid withdrawals at that point. So addicts start increasing their dose, or they try to play games where they go into withdrawal for a while so they can get a small “high” when they redose. This is why addicts are transitioned to maintenance therapy on maintenance-specific medications.

Prolonged opioid use can also worsen pain due to counter-regulation in certain systems, which creates further desire to increase doses over the very long term. Vicious cycle.

For opiate users taking moderate to high doses, it’s not so simple. These will take a toll over time and the users simply can’t function at their jobs, their personal lives, or even in taking care of their own health. They often go through a period of illusion where they feel like they can be functional addicts forever and may fool friends, family, and coworkers for some time. However, the high doses will destroy their ability to function over time.

The idea that opioid abusers can be fine if they just have a perpetual clean supply doesn’t really pan out. Even chronic pain patients on purely therapeutic regimens with zero recreational value (post tolerance) have a litany of problems over the long term.
>Dreams are your subconsciousness asking you, the consciousness, about different scenarios or problems it can think of. That is the most obvious explanation to me.

One can't explain the workings of the brain as some Q&A between "conscious" and "unconscious" except as a high level abstraction/metaphor. Else this implies two tiny "thinking" entities inside your brain, where one asks another something.
So the number of successful marriages outside the U.S. is around 60%? Given the complexity of humanity, that actually sounds pretty reasonable to me.

By all means, forgo marriage but many of us quite like being married. I love it. Most of the time!
My understanding in that this case, decentralized Github means the ability to have the social features around a git repo that Github provides (Issues, PRs, Discussions) but can't be banned due to the decision of a single actor.
Right? Pixel art simply has more detail and quality than any 3d modeling of the era.

The 3d rendering in homm4 made the game a significant downgrade (there were no real game changes so the only thing that made a difference were the crappy 3d graphics).
I don’t think it’s possible to restrict a generative AI in the ways that are being attempted by these companies.

The models have been trained on massive amounts of data that include all range of human emotions and behaviors.

You can try and fine tune the model to prevent undesirable behavior all you want - but the fact remains that the model possesses the latent behaviors and has no formal reasoning or logic centers.

When people talk about surface area and threat models to subvert a system, the surface area is now the entirety of human language.

It’s now a cat and mouse game and there will always be new prompts to jailbreak the guide rails and personas.
The thing is that races are good a lot of the time. If I have a set of tasks running in parallel that take an unknown/variable amount of time and I want to tell the users which ones are finished, my output needs to be based on a race between the tasks. If I'm scraping a website, I (may) want to have multiple connections going in parallel, and as soon as one of those connections spots a new link I (may) want to open a new connection to start scraping it, but I don't know which connection is going to spot a new link first, so there's a (benign) race condition.

Making a language that banned them outright would be making a language that couldn't do things that people wanted to do.
Let me then be the first in your contradictory sample. I drink caffeine more than ever and have consistently been experiencing a higher number of vivid dreams in the past year or so.

Notes on Pirates I (2020)

The navigation system on some cars are so atrocious. Impressively slow and inputting addresses can be a huge pain. I feel like a Raspberry Pi would have an order of magnitude better performance on many cars I have seen.

I haven't bought a car recently so I don't know what the landscape looks like, but I would think that even offering the possibility of a customization to have a more analog dashboard would be profitable. Even if you stick it behind a $1k upcharge I think you would see a surprising number of people opt for it. Doesn't need to replace the digital touchscreen in all cases necessarily, just be a secondary control mechanism.

Of course I'm sure we would run into situations where the analog buttons are an interface to the digital control system, so if the digital part is slow, some people might try to navigate using analog buttons too quickly. The digital interface hides that detail by design, if the menu isn't yet loaded, neither are the buttons you can click.

Consequence of using Vim to edit blog posts? It should be, according to author's dotfiles :-P

Or maybe using tmux, because I also press kj to determine what pane I'm on sometimes.
His solution of using `-L` to create a new named socket for each server does not seem cumbersome to me. I usually run `tmux attach-session` only once per day, so an additional argument would not be a major cognitive load. And I'd imagine most people use shell aliases for that sort of thing anyways (I probably should).
Yes, it would still be based on git. This project would just add the social features that Github adds (Issues, PRs, Discussions) on top of a git repo.
I think this advice is too-disruptive for this person: It's too quick to just throw away another relationship.

The poster talks about being Distant from Friends, and recently Separated. Also they talk about growing up in a Toxic Family - another "bell ring" for the "feeling unsupported" song. Advising them to swap out a ANOTHER emotionally supportive person in their life, their therapist, is going to cause them further abandonment - it's going to cause them to suffer.

So, come at that specific advice from a different direction. Advise them instead to open up to the therapist more. The problem doesn't yet seem to be an incompetent therapist. It's more that their relationship is still shallow.

Yeah, nobody is reporting on it so here we are talking about it on a techy forum. What does nobody mean to you? It has been in my news feeds every day since it happened, and has only increased as the severity has increased.
OP here. We have some make tasks that set up a local dev environment and rely on environment variables to control a few things. We ran into an issue where if someone started another tmux session and then ran the make task to start the dev environment the env vars wouldn't be set correctly causing some confusing behavior.
Like, are they? "Their own newsletter" makes it sound like internal links remain broken, something that I will immediately cede is rude to a visitor. But – even if I had publicized something and said "hey everybody come look", it's only social context that determines whether you infer from that "hey everybody come look (forever)". And I think that social context is sort of nonsense. For other people who've created links – that's something they should take care of.

I try to clear out my blogroll so people don't see broken links – but no one on that list owed me their permanent web presence.

> at a fundamental level remaining a victim is a choice

It would be nice if this was true. But sadly it’s simply not. Everybody understands that there is physical abuse that cannot be overcome. Unfortunately there is also psychological abuse that cannot be overcome.

So I agree we should all strive to avoid remaining victims, but I don’t think it’s healthy or even correct to say that those that do have chosen to be victims.

> and then forcing their new maintainer to rename the packages

Their new maintainers were not forced to rename the package; they chose to do it. That the java/javax namespaces are governed by the JCP (which will turn 25 years old this year), is well-known to anyone familiar with Java's governance, and I can't see a reason why an exception would be warranted if the maintainers had the choice of staying in the JCP; they weren't compelled to leave -- they wanted to leave. Why would a standards body lend its seal of approval to someone who no longer wishes to work in that standards body? "I don't want to follow the rule" is not a good reason to grant an exception from a rule.

Liveview solves the "write a fully dynamic and interactive application with next to zero Javascript that you need to write by hand" or, if you will, "server-driven UI apps".

And it's hard to overstate, but to also properly explain, how important this is and how it feels like magic when you do it. Because it lets you tap into everything Elixr (and Erlang VM) have to offer on the backend without ever having to think of "how the hell do I bring all that to the client".

My use-cases are: a big chunk of data is being processed, and while its being processed regular updates are sent over PubSub. Most actions a user initiates are long-ish-running and their updates are also sent over PubSub. Things that other users are doing are sent over PubSub and possibly need to be reflected in the UI.

In "traditional" JS-on-the-client-whatever-on-the-server model you have a plethora of questions of how to get that to UI: which endpoints to query, which updates to send over the wire, the formats, the frequence, authorisation, auth...

With LiveView your "client" is an Elixir view living on the server which just updates the view based on those PubSubs (or timers, or Kafka streams, or user-initiated actions, or...) and LiveView takes care of upating the DOM/HTML in the browser.

All the others pick and choose their causes based on political opportunism. Indeed where are all the environmental organizations that would typically be pillorying Corp america or an uncaring government? Where are their vocal marches and demands for rectification and justice?

OP here. Apologies for not providing the real world example that triggered the behavior but here's some more background: We have some make tasks that set up a local dev environment and rely on environment variables to control a few things. We ran into an issue where if someone started another tmux session and then ran the make task to start the dev environment the env vars wouldn't be set correctly causing some confusing behavior.

Ultimately we decided to use a named tmux socket to ensure the environment variables were picked up correctly when set via the make task but you can also use `set-environment` as well if the ergonomics hit of having to use the named socket each time is too much. It's nice that tmux provides a few work arounds but I thought the original behavior was not intuitive.
> If it's in your brain, it's you.

So you can fall asleep whenever you want? You never spend minutes lying in bed trying to sleep but being unable to? Otherwise no, you aren't in control of your brain, your brain is in control of you. It decides when you get to compute and experience things, you don't get to, if it wants you to work you work, if it wants you to sleep you sleep, you aren't in control.
Depending on how you interpret the man page, it’s either vague or wrong.

But that’s not what I’m trying to convince you of. I’m trying to convince you that the semantics you seem to want cannot be implemented efficiently. The kernel isn’t a magic box that can do anything you want. It’s a computer program that happens to run at a high privilege level and gets to use some fun hardware features. There is no fun hardware feature that magically and efficiently snapshots memory without copying it. There is a magic hardware feature that “write-protects” a memory mapping and notifies the kernel when someone tries to write to it, but file data in page cache may have an arbitrarily large number of mappings, write protecting a mapping is slow (especially on x86, which is, in many respects, showing its age as an architecture), and the kind of fancy software bookkeeping needed to maintain the fiction of copy-on-write is neither straightforward nor particular efficient.

If you rent x86 servers and instruct them to fiddle with the MMU for every few kB of data sent, AWS will happily take all your money while sending a remarkably small data rate per core. You will not get Netflix-style line rate performance like this.

>The name doesn't matter, but it is a fact that there are processes that we don't control that are very intelligent in our brain. They can find their way home, or drive your car etc, without you having to think about driving or where to go, you just zone out and before you realize it you are home.

What makes you think this points to "intelligent processes" (in the sense of processes having intelligence)?

It just points to some processing being done in the background, and some processing reaching the top layer ("conscious"). But "thinking "is the totality of it, not just the top layer.
>The rate dramatically changes with demographic, for example many of those were married young and did not complete education.

The difficulty comes when this is a life-pattern, established as a child before the OP was equipped to moderate the ups and downs of relationships.

It won't get better. That is appearing to be the concern of the OP.

IMO the OP needs to be supported and nurtured during this transition. So, finding self-care anywhere they can is the advice I'd say. And for the long-term, advice from a therapist can help train their child-mind to better handle this dynamic life.
There's no doubt that Nikola Tesla possesed some, let's not say a weapon, but knowledge about a very advanced way to cause mass destruction for it's time.

Last time we redesigned a major site, we carefully analyzed every URL for organic traffic value. Most were worthless: barely indexed by Google and receiving at most a couple visits a month. We killed most of them and saw improvements in overall traffic from search.

I think a lot of folks originally thought of websites like reference books. And some should still be thought of that way (Wikipedia, open source documentation, etc). I used to try very hard to keep all URLs functional during site redesigns. We accumulated thousands and thousands of redirects… most of which were never used.

I’ve since come to consider that a lot of sites are more like magazines: useful for a limited time span but not something that needs to live on your shelf forever.

> it's amazing to me that anyone ever got fluent with this.

Twelve (pence to the shilling) is actually quite a convenient way of denominating money. Twelve has more divisors than ten, which makes a lot of calculations easier. It wasn't so hard to learn the basics - 12 pence to the shilling, 20 shillings to the pound; a child could do it. But working out 17.5% VAT on a transaction in decimal coinage isn't so much fun.
How much time account creation realistically takes? How does that compare to the actual PR creation time?

You will need to spend significantly more time on writing code, debugging, testing, creating PR that follows all the guidelines, potentially signing legal docs etc. If you can’t spend 15s on creating a new account I’m not sure I would be interested in accepting such PR.
If I rephrase the argument, you are saying we should not have UBI to provide the lower class with a safety net because some people are bad with their finances?

It could be good to question why some people are bad with their finances, or experience lifestyle inflation. I am going to bet it has less to do with having a safety net or access to more money, and more to do with societal pressure, culture, and mental health.
It’s amazing. The regime loves all the agencies/departments though as it maintains power in the event the people elect someone that would give democracy back to the people.

These agencies just have carte-blanche to pass laws based on whatever whim they might have. They set limits on things and decide what and how to regulate.
