Counterintuitive Properties of High Dimensional Space (2018)
If you don't need to pay your employees more than what's "fair" because they aren't motivated by money, what becomes of the excess profit in your company that you save on bloated salaries? Do you donate it to charity? And on a related note, what motivates you?
Why do you think Peter Attia is a charlatan? Out of all these longevity & health influencers he seems most realistic & knowledgeable.
I like this point very much: "You can be as vague or detailed as you like when speaking lojban. For example, specifying tense (past, present or future) or number (singular or plural) is optional when they're clear from context.".

LMBTQ movement has came into my mind immediately. I think they would have more success by introducing a new, 'don't care about your sex' pronoun to the language instead of adding a third one that just complicates matters.

This is the most Reddit post I’ve seen on HN.
Great success!

Between the lines it says that the author was already aware of the circumstances of his innocence and the lm just wrote a nice letter.
I think there's more reasons that are not so negative.

First of all, vi predates all those others. That means it's always had an active userbase werken other tools were in fashion. Changing the bindings at any point in time would have hurt a lot of people's muscle memory. It would also be extremely annoying when one has older versions on some machines with the old bindings and some with the new. I deal with the Mac vs Windows/Linux copy paste problem every day.

Also, vim just has a ton of functions and there's always going to be some shortcuts that will be awkward on some or other keyboard layout.

Finally, you don't have to use it :) or you could distribute your custom config file with bindings to every machine you use.
That was much worse because while business people were suppose to write the scenarios, programmers were still expected to actually implement all the "steps" and logic behind and pray that combining them in all sorts of way still would work.
And Podman Desktop now ships with kind for K8s!
That’s fair, I think. In contrary to many others, they at least provide the code for their saas product - I wouldn’t expect them to try and make it even easier to not use their paid offering.
I've been working on my own library and as soon as I saw the code I realized I didn't have handling for keyboard modifiers either - so even if the original doesn't see your comment - it wasn't a waste! Thank you! :)

This sounds like a lot of gatekeeping. QWERTZ types need not apply for serious computer use. Even worse are those ones who would prefer to write a proper e-mail using umlauts.
The link in the article about emphasising phonics[0] vaguely answers that question in the reverse, in terms of what was being taught instead; a podcast series from 2022 called Sold a Story[1] (transcripts also available at the link) gives a much more detailed answer about why.

>I feel great and my brain seems to be functioning as well as when I was in my 20’s

>but my untreated ADHD seems to be getting worse.

I had very similar results after taking ketamine for treatment-resistant depression. It eliminated all my compulsive tendencies for getting cheap dopamine hits (food, doomscrolling, etc), reset my tolerance to everything (caffeine, ADHD meds, alcohol), and made my ADHD worse while improving throughput and ability to Get Shit Done.

I wonder if they affect the same parts of the brain in a roundabout way? Ketamine is also used to treat addiction (opioids, primarily).

Do you experience any anhedonia while using Mounjaro? Did your overall pleasure response get blunted?
Can you share this "compounded semaglutide" source? My doctor mentioned it but I'm a bit anxious about it. Everything out there seems so sketchy.

I tried vi emulation VS Code for a while, but the emulation is often incomplete and breaks at times.

The only thing that emulates vi well enough is Evil in Emacs.

I just want a WebKit-based browser where everything can be controlled by a prominent LLM prompt box. No more clicking through constantly changing menus or trying to remember rarely-used vim shortcuts, just tell it what you want to do. Bonus if it supports continuous voice input.
… or also because it’s significantly more productive than any other editor. But hey, it’s much easier for you to assume everyone making a choice for themselves is part of some cult than giving them the ability to think and make good choices.
Okay, I see you are being just combative. As I said I lived in the USSR and not as a single childless man working remotely and ordering deliveries too (I was a child myself though).

No thanks, no aluminum in my drinking water.

Epidemiological studies suggest that aluminium may not be as innocuous as was previously thought and that aluminium may actively promote the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease. This condition is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60 –70 % of cases. In 2015, dementia affected 47 million people worldwide (or roughly 5% of the world's elderly population), a figure predicted to increase to 75 million in 2030 and 132 million by 2050. Recent reviews estimate that each year nearly 9.9 million people develop dementia globally; this figure translates into one new case every three seconds (5). Even prolonged exposure to low levels of aluminium leads to changes associated with brain ageing and neurodegeneration (6).

Furthermore, aluminium has been included among 200 neurotoxic chemicals that silently erode intelligence, disrupt behaviours, truncate future achievements, and damage societies, perhaps most seriously in developing countries. The latter is called the "Silent Pandemic of Neurodevelopmental Toxicity in Children" (7,8). Recently, the aluminium content of brain tissue in autism spectrum disorder was found to be consistently high (9), and the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder is increasing, last CDC estimated prevalence is 1 in 44 children (10).

I would agree but caution that the effects of adopting different fuels for energy is far from linear. Must consider especially infrastructure ramp-up/-down when switching. This changes the calculations considerably and moves the optima from where they would be expected given a first-order analysis.
> "If I’m not vigilant about making myself do stuff, I won’t do anything. And my commitment to meditate is critical on every level."

Alan Watts said that meditation shouldn't be a grim duty, it should be done for the fun of it, it should be a 'grooving with the eternal now'. "Getting meditation done" makes as much sense as "getting dancing done" or "getting music listened to" - the goal isn't to hurry up and finish playing music or dancing, it's to enjoy doing it for its own sake.

I don't know if eliminating ambiguity is even possible, much less a key feature of the language. There's even prominent ambiguity on this page:

> Lojban means different things to different people
Maybe you're tired? Too much work kills your energy for anything remotely intellectual.
I spent a few weeks with Lojban around 2006. imho it felt really dense as a language. Definitely interesting. Back then there wasn’t as much material in Lojban as is now available.
Did a bit of digging and found that there used to be a comment for why it was done, but it got removed [0] when they switched to the implementation from Bentley & McIlroy's "engineering a sort function" [1] around 1992.

Cars may be recent, but the idea of private transport has existed since the taming of horses.

Farmers are a perfect example of why some globalized public transport is impossible and why private transport is required for society to function.
Don’t forget - major voting blocs.

Very few people want to impact farmers negatively, because of the way farming is romanticized almost everywhere across the globe.
This would make a good wall clock rather than watch. You could make it say 1m across so super easy to figure out where it lines up. It would be for art rather than practical use.
hmm since there is a CFG for lojban, it’d be interesting to give [some LLM you can do fancy things woth] what corpus of lojban there is, and then use the work on constraining LLMs to a grammar, and see if that’d help its output.
I’m sorry, but a metro will never be connecting me to my local city, so that is not an apt comparison.

I don’t know what’s wrong with so many people, who seem to think some magical public transport will pop up everywhere to cater to everyone, but it’s unrealistic at best.
I used to spend a lot of my spare time on side projects, thinking I'd hit on something successful eventually.

Now, I'm in my 40s and I'm like "Done with work; I think I'll go for a walk and then take a nap."
Lmao what bus???

Its not going to be profitable to drive from where I am to where the cities are, because we are that rural. Just like horses were for most of our history, cars are a requirement for human civilization.

Get over it.
> Sorry folks, but it turns out that the creators of Vi(m) didn't actually invent the ultimate UI paradigm half a century ago

I have been thinking the same for years. Some guys at work used to add Vim bindings to their IDE and I just didn’t understand it.

I used VI back in the day when the choice was vi or ed. It worked well given the constraints of a Wyse60 or VT100. But I was happy to leave it behind for X windows, a mouse, and modeless editing.

So today, 25 years after I learned VI because I had no choice, the idea that having Vi bindings makes a tool for “hackers” is just not something that resonates with me. I’m happy to discover I’m not the only one.
Spanish keyboards, while QWERTY, are terrible for this too. All the special characters are in a weird place and many require modifiers.

While I live in Spain now I still use the US layout I'm used to from the Netherlands. It means I can't type the Spanish accents which are kinda important but anyway...

>So I guess there was never withheld science in the Manhattan project - correct? And those spies leaking details to the soviets, why bother - it's common knowledge - right?

Yes, the science was common knowledge. Berlin scientists first split the uranium atom four years before the Manhattan project even took place. It was common enough that science fiction writers of the time wrote stories about atomic bombs before any bombs were ever built, through extrapolation from established science alone, and Kodak was able to deduce the US was working on an atomic bomb because the radiation from testing fogged up their film stock. That's why there was a race on to be the first to a working implementation of that science, and a working implementation was what the Soviets were interested in. I can guarantee you Soviet scientists already knew what a chain reaction was.

Stop acting like you know what you're talking about, the more you comment the more obvious it is that you don't.

This is going to be unpopular, but you don't need transit.

I've had many cars, I've bought houses, I've driven to work and grocery shopping. About the last ~decade, I tried something different.

I started renting. When I rent, I look for a place walking distance to at least one major store, and areas like parks. Had a couple of gigs where I need to be onsite once/twice per week. Had a gig onsite daily. About half of it was remote work. Sometimes paid more rent for it, sometimes not.

In that decade, I've moved 6 times, lived in 3 states and another country, and have not owned a car or taken a bus unless vacationing overseas. The wife and I do have bikes. If it's crap weather a week straight I order from the store, usually with free shipping/delivery if you buy enough.

Houses are getting ridiculously expensive, but that market crashes - I've been through the 2008 one and had to sell at a loss. we're about to hit one now. now you could be lucky and just ride it out in your house. or you could get canned because the economy is down when your house is down, and have to sell at a loss when you move for the new job. it's a risk, risk has cost, over your lifetime you're more likely to get shafted at least once and it'll be for 6 figures. just average that out over your remaining lifetime as a monthly cost.

With napkin-math, if you:

1. take your downpayment and just dump in into smth like vigax

2. subtract out the interest you'd pay on a loan, assuming you sell before the loan end date so you lost a lot in interest on amortization

3. include that your job market is now worldwide, or even your country-wide so you get a better job that leaves more in your pocket

you actually come out ahead. like a lot ahead. yes, a couple of times a year I rent a car for a few days, and about 5-10 times a year I pay for a lyft. and it's been no issue at all. ever go home from the office to take an hour nap? or get an apartment above your office buildings, sit at home, and just take the elevator down or cross the street to go to a meeting?

cars are not easy. cars are a pain in the ass full of unpleasant surprises, and are a financial garbage dump. a bus or a subway doesn't have to replace cars - planning around using two feet is not only possible, it's dirt easy.
Well yes but back then it was pretty difficult tech.
Why do you assume other people's experiences match yours?
You can succeed without. Note that the whole field, the whole job market actually, is going to go through tremendous changes due to A.I in the coming decade. It's already happening. I wouldn't expect you'll be able get good pay doing this work 10 years from now, it's possible but also the opposite is possible, so better to think about plan b from a very young age.

For the same reason any language needs one. What is it about C that you think excludes it from the basic requirement of "using third party libraries"?

I vaguely remember a TNG* episode in which humans encounter an alien race that found our language too ...inaccurate, and spent a lot of time going over each word and sentence, to precisely define its meaning.

* Was it TNG or am I dreaming?

*edit: Thank you everyone, but it wasn't "Darmok". The humans and the aliens were working, for a long time, on a treaty of sorts because the human language was so confusing and ambiguous and they had to go over every small details, over and over ...
Need to re-watch TNG
Scala is an excellent language that is actually dying
A lot of communication is intentionally ambiguous at that. Be it diplomatic texts written to let both sides present a victory, or comedy intentionally obscuring key facts for a later reveal. Having the ability to be unambiguous is great, but human communication is full of situations where that's not what we want.

Junit5 Extension Pack
That's suboptimal for many reasons. Package names are not consistent. Installing multiple versions is usually impossible. Huge pain for library authors. Doesn't integrate with build systems usually (even basic pkg-config support is iffy). The command is OS-specific. You can't usually choose the linking method. Difficult to bundle dependencies. Usually out of date. Etc. etc.
Most of the phenomena you describe are kind of the result of hiring students straight after or even during their Bachelor's degree.

Most Universities on the planet teach Java as an introductory language (which makes sense to be honest) but they stop after that.

And then students know how to quicksort in 10 different ways, but not how to MVC or even how to build a web app.

Personally I think that our education system is botched there, because most of the theoretical knowledge is only important in the "paper writing" context. Once it gets into applying that knowledge into practical use, most students are lost because their professor never taught them how.

Only the self-taught students who were bored to death in University are actually the ones capable of doing so.
What's key about vi is modal editing. Modal editing is very powerful. It also means not having to use the mouse for everything and also not having to type too many modifier key sequences. For some of us that's absolutely essential to avoid deviations that lead to injury.

> and can be viewed using a microscope capable of 1000x magnification—a technology that has been available for hundreds of years.

I don't think so; maybe 100 years. To achieve 1,000x magnification with an optical microscope, you need oil (or some other fluid with a refractive index similar to that of the lens) between the objective lens and the subject.

I believe the maximum theoretical magnification you can achieve with an optical microscope is about 1,400x. The limit is imposed by the minimum wavelength of visible light.

I wonder if LLM entirely in lobjan would require less text to train to be just as good as the models we have today due to its higher clarity in expression.

I also feel the same way about Esperanto due to its high regularity in syntax.

Part of me also wonders if an ai model could be optimized by training it on a language specifically invented to be both easy for the ai to understand and the human to communicate in. Maybe the language was made up of lots of 4 letter words bringing the number of words to tokens closer to 1:1, or injecting more context per word so sentences could be shorter and use less tokens
Thanks. I like your suggestion and I'll add a YYYY-MM-DD only option.
I like the idea of Lojban. I hate the implementation. It’s basically spoken math notation for predicate logic, which falls flat well short of the goal. There are much better logical frameworks that have been developed for computational semantics (e.g. Davidsonian event semantics). Lojban’s formalism was out of date already when it was proposed as Loglan half a century ago.

If there is anyone out there who likes the idea of Lojban but want something more practical and with a firmer foundation to boot, contact me. I’ve got ideas and I’d love to find some people to work on this with.
