I appreciate your taking it out! and have turned the flags off on the GP.
I was recently in the same position. Did a full wardrobe replacement (majority secondhand, so not as insane as it sounds). It’s amazing how much better I feel! I’ve never been one to care much about clothes/fashion, but now I feel like I’ve spent decades missing out on something good.
>that drove me the most nuts when the professor just didn't understand the coding language they were teaching.

A lot of people will have the same experience. It all clicked when I learned that often the lessons were written by consultants or by their predecessor, and the professor is just faking it until they can get back to their research.
I can take your GPL code and never show it to anyone any more, that doesn't violate the license. I also don't have to publish GPL code indefinitely simply because I showed it to you once. Terrible analogy.
This probably goes against the flow, but I tried NixOS on a VPS and I found the tools to be inscrutable. Was so confused about Nix packaging and whether to use Flakes.
At work we’re already using ChatGPT to help decide whether to replace specific parts during jet engine rebuilds. We ask it for each part whether we need to do any testing given the serial number. It’s been saving a lot of time!

The weird thing is it keeps telling us to place some weird plastic molding called SEMTEX hooked up to a Starlink receiver in between the turbine insulation blankets when we put the engine back in. None of us can figure out why there’s a high voltage wire going from the radio to the plastic - it makes no sense. But hey who are we to argue with AI?
I love doing DIY work (more precisely, I love saving money on it and being more in control over the repairs; I don't find the repair work terrible).

If you really hate it and can afford not to, just don't do it. If you have to justify it somehow, find something else productive to do and use the money or savings from that to offset that you aren't fixing your car or whatever.
Incredibly sad to see Robert Gottlieb pass. His work as an editor has shaped some of my favorite books. In particular, he brought Robert Caro to national attention.

For anyone interested in learning more about Robert Gottlieb, I highly recommend the documentary "Turn Every Page" by his daughter: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14071694/

It's about Gottlieb's relationship with the author Robert Caro and provides a fascinating insight into the pair that produced some truly incredible books.
I'd like to recommend this - I had to learn SwiftUI recently for my work and I found these courses to be absolutely perfect for learning.

I've also found SwiftUI to be a fantastic little language, I think especially for prototyping it would be fantastic.

One thing I preferred with these courses to so many similar other courses is that the video is not required. I much prefer to read, I don't like videos in tutorials unless completely necessary - screenshots and text work just fine, and for myself; these exercises just hit the nail on the head. :)
> I felt smarter, and overall pretty great. I felt like I was making all these brilliant connections.

And here I thought the whole point of micro-dosing is the dose is too small to feel anything at all.

AIUI what you're calling microdosing is still in the realm of macrodosing, and no shit your working memory and time management was affected. What you were feeling were low-key hallucinations.
Another scary thing in that book is the delegation of use of nuclear weapons to relatively junior commanders - the public statement that only the US president can authorise the use of nuclear weapons being completely untrue at the time.

That is probably why Ellsberg referred to Dr Strangelove as a documentary...
Note that XYB JPEG isn't the only way to increase the effective bit depth of the image. Using a typical color space but using a different transfer function such as Perceptual Quantizer or Hybrid Log-Gamma has a similar effect, and this is exploited right now. Take an HDR JXL file and tell djxl to decode it to a jpeg or a png, and you'll get a PQ-encoded file with an ICC profile containing the appropriate information for HDR rendering and for tone-mapped SDR rendering :)

I just acquire mushrooms on my own and discuss the trips with my psychiatrist. He’s always quite enthusiastic about it and I’ve found them to be very helpful.
but there is evidence that some traders there are more skilled than others, like the guy I linked to (or someone like Warren Buffett or Jim Simons ). it's not all random like a casino. Plus, to make so much money at options trading so consistently, requires knowledge of position sizing, market intuition, pattern recognition, and other skills relevant for all aspects of trading.
Oh no they didn't ignore them. They included them with the slow, locked in, poor developer experience first generation providers but also with a "more limited fashion" disclaimer.

I tell myself this every time I buy food.

If I paid $20 for a plate of food at a restaurant, eating it is the second half of the price. If I eat too much (don't take a box) I pay the second price. If I only eat just enough, the second price is much lower.

I also take issue with the statement early in the article that only paying the first price is the same as putting money in the garbage. It's not wrong but that mindset will lead you to becoming a victim of the sunk cost fallacy. If you've already paid for the thing but you no longer want it, get rid of it.
OK, the media overwhelmingly mentions his activist achievements. But, can I point out it is the same Daniel Ellsberg as in "The Ellsberg paradox" [0]?

I have an urn with 30 red balls and 30 green balls. You can pick a color, and you get 10$ if you guessed the next ball I pull out of the urn correctly.
Alternatively, I have another urn with an unknown amount of red and green balls in them. You could also choose to use this urn with a color of your choice, if you want?

Which of these 4 options do you pick?

It turns out that people overwhelmingly prefer the first urn. They have an aversion to epistemic uncertainty, even though from utility theory, all 4 options are equivalent. Even weirder, if we would have played this game repeatedly, the second urn is clearly preferable. Then why do we have this intuition?

The experiment from his paper is slightly different and (in my opinion) harder to understand, but the sketch above illustrates the same paradox between what utility theory tells us is the best decision, and what we intuitively decide.

Do note that he was working at the RAND corporation at the time, where they were running probabilistic simulations of the cold war, the so called Cold War games. (People were literally throwing dice all day to run the simulations of the various nuclear war scenarios). His paradox was a critique to that method, as we don't actually know the probabilities involved in these nuclear scenarios, in the same way as we don't know the amount of red and green balls in one of the urns.

Therefore, we might want to discredit decisions based on scenarios where we don't have good estimates of the probabilities of the outcomes, in favour of scenarios where we do know them.

So you're really happy that there is regulation requiring what the market already did on its own?
Yeah. I think it's funny that people talk about individual sites like hackernews as 'centralized' whereas I tend to think of the ecosystem of forum like sites as a decentralised mass.

Now it would be nice if all the things associated with my identity followed me around between the various decentralised forums, if reputation were more easily assessed and transparently generated, and if all my discussions across the web were accessible to me from a single dashboard.

Still, it surprises me when people say 'decentralised? it'll never take off' since I think it's a big part of why the internet was successful in the first place, and we still have the legacy of that in so much of what we do on the internet. People have been using postal services for centuries. With your phone you can call people in different countries, on different networks, using handsets made by different manufacturers.

If anything, I would say that we started decentralised for good reason, the first generation of attempts to enclose the commons failed because they couldn't generate content as fast as the world. The second attempt was very successful, based on a large influx of money, and network effects but we're starting to see those start to fail for predictable reasons. The lifecycle of centralised services are tied to the lifecycle of corporations and the vagaries of shareholder interest. That will never result in services that can stand the test of time in a meaningful way.

You can tell we're in the pendulum swing back now, because companies are fighting against volunteer labour (anyone who tries to make their systems work with other systems) to make things worse for their own customers. That sort of approach is absurd and not long term sustainable.
This is the third wave of reddit gentrification. This has happened before. The subreddits going indefinitely closed, reddit kicking out the mods and appointing new ones. It happened before and those of us involved were very upset but all the new users just stayed on the site and did not care. I think everyone very upset this time will find the same. There's still enough trickle of Facebook refugees to replace everyone that cares this time around. And the new users are monetizable users as opposed to reddit's original or first generation facebook refugees that adopted the culture.
Here's a philosophical (?) topic I would love to hear opinions on the occasion of remembering Ellsberg's contributions.

Some would say that the transparency of revealing the Pentagon papers caused us as a people for the first time (debatable of course) to not fundamentally trust that the government usually does the right thing.

(In the general public perception sense. There were and always would be groups discontent or not trusting the state was acting in their interests on specific issues. But this was a large scale violation of people's beliefs, some might say.)

But for the first time (again, debatable), the government was shown to be covering up the national disgrace of the very important and big topic of Vietnam for face saving, and sacrificing lives in the process. And that this was just people at the top muddling through really important topics.

And this was important for a people to know, and understand that they could check government like this.

So... however --

I wonder, is there something such as too much transparency for a country's people, in the face of the reality of who your international competitors are, in a modern information age?

When governments can control information, they are much more able to sweep certain things under the rug, unify a people with partial information, and embark on war, other issues that dismiss or hide the many layers of truth or actions. And every issue is always complicated by who it helps and hurts. In a huge democracy, there will always be someone hurt by some decision.

When you have competitor countries who are not committed to such whistleblowing, sharing of information, freedom of press, and their people are able to be unified towards some goals while smaller issues are swept under the rug. Is our country by comparison paralyzed from doing great things, because any great thing will have endless "complainers" once all the details are known because of our freedom of information and above mistrust of government?

Basically, is there conceivably a bad or unintended consequence of so much freedom of the press to check government? Has too much democracy been a hinderance (or will it be when some important issue presents itself) to the progress of a democracy?
They already apparently provided a 2TB data dump of everything up to march of this year.

That's shockingly small. Like, can we just build some retro love-child of unison and NNTP, and just keep a copy of all the news groups on our laptops / the ones we care about on our phones?

Anyway, from a liability perspective, undeleting stuff older than that seems to be a moot point.
Perhaps the aforementioned phenomenon is his send-off.
As with every big shift/crisis, there's a lot of opportunity for change (for good and bad, subjectively) so I do agree this is particularly fascinating although I'm definitely sad as a RiF user that there's no viable way to keep the site usable and it's displaying such contempt towards its users, even the mainstream ones (I've already seen how much contempt it had for everyone who didn't agree with the mainstream US political Reddit narratives but this is different. It's actually really aggressive against all those people that had a very strong relationship with and made Reddit what it is.

Better: a 100 bp increase in prevailing interest rates...

edit to add:

Also, in the context of loans/notes/bonds, duration refers to sensitivity of the price of the instrument to a small change in interest rates.

Knowing the duration of the instrument is all you need, it is very odd to say 'by approximately 1% per year of duration' If the duration is 4 yrs, a 100bp increase in rates will result in a 4% decline in the price of the bond.
Plants are full of defense mechanisms in the form of plant toxins. Even in humans, common/popular foods can contain oxalates which, despite being deemed relatively benign, can cause problems in some people: https://www.webmd.com/diet/foods-high-in-oxalates.

It is interesting to think that this is a new potential plant defense mechanism, whose cause can be related to climate change, evolution, or some other unknown catalyst.
Agreed. When I go to the superbowl subreddit, I am expecting many superb owls and nothing else. I don't see how anyone can have a problem with that. Sometimes, the users are the problem and we need a heavy hand to make sure they are obedient -- all for their benefit, not ours.
Daniel Ellsberg giving advice to Henry Kissinger about security clearances, in 1968, from his book "Secrets", https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/02/daniel-ellsbe...

> You will deal with a person who doesn’t have those clearances only from the point of view of what you want him to believe and what impression you want him to go away with, since you’ll have to lie carefully to him about what you know. In effect, you will have to manipulate him. You’ll give up trying to assess what he has to say. The danger is, you’ll become something like a moron. You’ll become incapable of learning from most people in the world, no matter how much experience they may have in their particular areas that may be much greater than yours.

> One possibility is that morality has, in fact, been declining worldwide for millennia—declining so steadily and so precipitously that people in every era have been able to observe that decline in the brief span of a human lifetime. The other possibility is that the perception of moral decline is a psychological illusion to which people all over the world and throughout history have been susceptible.

What about a 3rd possibility that moral decline is like a barberpole; it really is constantly declining, but as it's doing so new moral standards replace the ones that are falling away at the bottom.

For example, we might see people becoming less friendly with their neighbours, but they've also stopped hitting animals and their children.
> I'm not talking brake jobs

A disk brake job is an almost ideal first DIY repair IMO. It seems daunting and risky, but there's fairly little chance that someone who is trying to do a good job will end up with a brake job that, undetected, leaves the car unsafe. (There is a higher chance you'll somewhere get stuck unable to complete it or need to ask for help, but that's not a safety issue.)
Great. Let's see what sort of response this gets from the gov't.

At some point we need to start treating data as a liability.
Given the fact is legitimate, people legitimize the thought of it and self-censorship ensues.
Reddit’s CEO wants you to know that he doesn’t care about your feedback
A humongous message board like reddit creates interesting discussion just because of the diverse perspectives and experiences of the users, and once a place becomes a general forum it invites for weird, abstract or ephemeral topics. Stuff that will never be discussed in a smaller forum, but have great value.

Without a huge "town square" place like reddit, those topics simply won't be discussed in a meaningful way. The internet used to be only for geeks and academics, so forums were a mostly for hobbyist stuff. We moved past that long before reddit arrived, so it makes no sense to go back to it.

While smaller forums have higher average quality, there is much that will be lost - including very high quality material. I'd rather have a town square where I can get everything from the best to the worst, than just a small shop with a limited offer of fine quality stuff.

> And also the incessent use of the "I smell marijuana"

I have a family member on parole who had this happen on a traffic stop the other day. Being on parole, there's no right to decline being searched prior to arrest*, so all it takes for a cop to derail your day is for them to say "I smell marijuana" - no additional hoops.

Not only did he not have marijuana, he was pulled over for expired registration, which he was in transit to resolve. They saw an expired registration, and decided to search him, even though he was able to present his completed paperwork that he was en route to drop off. They were very obviously fishing for anything to arrest someone over.

[*] I should add that even when you can decline the search, they search you anyways

Yeah, exactly. There is absolutely no way you could have ETFs if the "quick games" were forbidden. Not only because it's the HFTs that essentially run the fund on a day to day basis (see Authorized Participant for details).

One famous example with a completely extinguished price discovery is the Soviet Union. I think this is what killed it more than any internal or international political problems.
I think the big problem is what this is going to do to human creativity.
Even if Human Artists still perform the Music, the AI can quickly and easily write music lyrics and create artwork from the suggestions you give it, and its already quite decent.
So what are the people that enjoyed doing that themselves going to do, when Bing can do in minutes what they would have spent a week or two doing.
Are humans just going to be project managers, that guide the AI that creates everything (no offence to project managers intended.)
The big risk is that doing anything creative ourselves will just seem so completely pointless, that all the work done will be AI assisted, because it will be so easy.
Again in this article he spoke that profits haven’t been affected. This is because advertisers have not been involved in the strike. To ramp up the action the community needs to find a way to bring pressure on advertisers to get onboard and support the community.

Which companies are the most classic reddit advertisers who want to be liked by the community? Which companies are most likely to be sympathetic to this action? Future news needs to read “Company X today bowed to pressure and joined the strike”.

When advertisers start putting their ads on hold this thing ramps up a whole nother level.
When it results in a concentration of wealth in the hands of people who can abuse it for political ends, or results in market crashes that cause knock-on impact to real humans - then yes, worrying about it is reasonable and justified.
Yep. My parents moved into a retirement community and have a huge unfinished basement, probably 1500-2000 sqft of floor space. And they have filled it with crap. Its like a warehouse down there. Some of it has value but vast majority of it is just plain junk (mostly stuff from their old house which they should have gotten rid of when they moved, some literally in the same boxes). They are in their 80s and not dealing with it. It will be my problem eventually.
