I had a similar problem. I now maintain a simple TODO note on my phone and organize the items by priority sections (Now, Soon, and Eventually). I check off the items once I’m done and remove them after a while. This does a few things:

- Relieves the stress of having to remember random stuff that comes up during the day
- Allows me prioritize my worries… the “Eventually” category usually consists of lower-priority things that would have low impact if I didn’t get them done soon (or at all in some cases)
- Gives me a sense of accomplishment when I check off an item

I like this better than the iOS Reminders app since I have more control over various things (with a huge disadvantage of it not being time/date-aware.
What does it mean to address the risk of superintelligence? There is no way to stop technological progress and AI development is just part of the same process. Moreover, the alarmism doesn't make much sense because we already have misaligned agents at odds with human values, those agents are called profit seeking corporations but I never hear the alarmists talk about putting a stop to for-profit business ventures.

Do you know anyone that considers the pursuit of profits and constant exploitation of natural resources as a problem that needs to be addressed because I don't. Everyone seems very happy with the status quo and AI development is just more of the same status quo development, just corporations seeking ways to exploit and profit from digital resources. OpenAI being a perfect example of this.

I really love Obsidian, I still have some major blockers.

The git plugin is dangerously broken. I've had pushes from different computers overwrite one another. It doesn't show merge conflicts - it's happy to plow forward. I've reduced my usage since that happened. This is a huge problem. I need to have confidence the backups and merges aren't destroying notes.

There's no easy way to open multiple workspaces simultaneously. I want to start using Obsidian for work, but I'm not going to share or subset my private notebook. If I want to switch to the team workspace, I have to close my personal workspace. Only one can be open at a time, and that's awkward.

If these two problems get fixed, Obsidian will become my end-all, be-all organizational software.

I will pay a lot of money ($100/mo!) for this to work right.

(Final minor nit: I'd like to include multimedia, but use Git LFS or another cloud storage system. I don't want them in git.)

You are certainly wrong given that both of Facebook and Instagram allow you to see a feed of just people you follow (+, of course, ads).

I hadn't thought of it before reading your comment but after years in the corporate world your statement rings true to me.
Stirling engines like ours can go at cryogenic temperatures too :) They are used to reliquify natural gas at LNG terminals, but we decided to focus on industrial heat for now.

You are correct. In our case, we can go from ambient air to the desired process temperature, but the coefficient of performance will be much better if we have access to a waste heat source (the higher temperature the better).
The question is, will TV, news, and media hosts quote things people said on “Threads” rather than Tweets?
I'd love to have a totally crystal clear source telling how incredibly viciously sadly Vertias ambushed people. I scanned around some, and one Timbah.On.Truth has a >2 hour 2-part series seemingly going through what evidence we have of what really happened. (Apologies, still unvetted, but it's the best tone/balance & most contentful I've seen so far & running out of time to dig for this.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8buQLy1dWD8

But as for how this incident was landed / portrayed, what a spectacle it made at the time: Rachel Maddow's coverage is short & shows how it was bandihooed across Fox News. This was like a major spectacle in right-wing American media for a considerably long time, and it's hard to underemphasize how heavily Fox & others worked with O'Keefe to sell this manufactured story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0B0wxt3XYc

I do want to point out, we never got most of the footage. There are many many hours, perhaps even days of footage & audio O'Keefe & Giles recorded doing this sort of stuff, trying to cause trouble. They spent an enormous amount of time trying to generate soundbytes. Also notably, never once was anyone of any supervisor or leadership position taken by these bits; all the juicy sound-bytes O'Keefe got were from pretty low level employees, of an organization with over 1200 neighborhood chapters in the US.
Should there be any examples along with the fundamentals? If so, which examples? Maybe examples that are relevant to the world students live in?

Another excellent article on this wonderful company:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/time-to-lead/h...

and I really wish pay slope would be a standard part of discussion of company finances and profits and ethics.

I'm always glad of the chance to order from Lee Valley, and have a fair number of their tools (and am beginning a collection of their miniature tools) --- that said, I don't completely like the design language/aesthetic of many of their tools --- it's somewhat streamlined/modern, but also a bit traditional and it just doesn't quite click with me for a fair number of their tools. The reproductions are awesome though, and a few of the tools are really appealing.

Other companies whose aesthetic is a better fit for me and which I think have a more consistent aesthetic presentation:

- Lie-Nielsen --- unabashedly traditional, they nevertheless make many small improvements which result in wonderful tools which are a great improvement on their vintage predecessors

- Blue Spruce Toolworks --- a company which does both wonderfully traditional tools (their chisels and mallets) and new designs which take advantage of modern materials (their "Ultimate Coping Saw")

- Bridge City Tool Works --- John Economaki has had two major periods, the first of traditional and unique tools in traditional materials (brass, steel, and rosewood) with some incredibly innovative options which still have no equal in the market, while the second, after his hospitalization for an allergic reaction to tropical hardwoods embraces aluminum in a way which has some folks joking about "tools for the Terminator to use", a third period is still unfolding with the sale of the company to a Chinese firm, and a new business model where daily sales with a limited number of items available at the sales price capitalizes on FOMO to ensure a consistent cash flow, and to allow load-balancing of their inventory. That said, the new prices are great, though the quality control apparently needs (or needed? resolved now?) work.
You're right, I do remember the battery challenge now. I was possibly confusing a similar tactic from a Sierra game (which I also played my fair share of). Bear in mind, this was over thirty years ago - it's amazing how our memories can take on new shapes over time.
Unfortunately there seems to be a class of product managers who truly believe that "mobile only" is a mark of pride and excellence and that having desktop access to their product is either irrelevant/too-much-work ... or even so, a bad idea. I ran into these types on things I worked on at Google, and they seem to be out there generally.

Instagram was like this for years, really. Which made some sense as it was a photo-taking app originally. But for something like this? Someone made some choices here, and I think they're the wrong ones.

I guess it says something that out of the thousands of comments I've seen about threads, I've only seen one or two that even noticed that there's no desktop/web site? Are people really that phone centric now? My poor old "elderly" Gen-X self doesn't get it.

Yes, you appear to be able to view individual threads if you have a link, but not sign up to the product, author threads, or browse?
Yeah it is a dog shit of a post. Uses your existing instagram account. Hype hype hype. Uninstalled it right after it installed.
How do you even formulate values to an hyperintellect? Let alone convince it to abandon the values that it derived for itself in favor of yours?

Does Mastodon need a PR person in each thread? I feel like I read a variation on this post every day on this site now. GP is literally just a comparison of Threads against existing, better known alternatives. Nothing deeper. What makes people so defensive about Mastodon?
So they say. I’ve already gotten my first notification about an Instagram friend posting on Threads for the first time, which is an obvious push to get me to follow them.

I’m convinced they’ll keep jamming your Instagram and Threads identities into each other to keep engagement high.
For the last 5 days I have been actively trying to cancel my Evernote personal plan. The site would break every time I navigated to manage my subscription or try and reach support.

This is one of the bullet points; no clue how strictly they enforce it:

curl | sh is actually bad because a completely innocuous script can become dangerous with a network hiccup, e.g.

rm -rf /path/to/directory

becomes

rm -rf /path

if the connection accidentally drops half way. Or something less dramatic, but still leaving you in a broken state.

Some people took the “don’t curl | sh” advice as “you have to inspect every line of a shell script installer you download”, which is of course absurd.
If you don't want to see then you have to block, this is the nature of social media and influencers.

Yep, that was the turn-off for me too. I only use Twitter and Facebook in a browser, even on mobile—I noticed serious battery life improvements upon uninstalling the Facebook app in particular.
> There was a time when users of Facebook and users of Google Talk were able to chat with each other and with people from self-hosted XMPP servers

This is false. While it's true that Google Talk did adopt XMPP for a time, Facebook never did. They ran a little client bridge so that people could sort-of use third-party clients, but you could never communicate between Google Talk and Facebook users over XMPP.

> ...except this is the literal opposite of that, this is presented as an introductory resource. The literal opposite of "other peoples' experience", it's an intro into the topic.

We're discussing this in a broader sense than the OP right? Individuals vs institutions (whatever those are) and if the former can be useful. You claim they never are, because experts don't need them and novices can't assess the quality.

> My entire argument is that you must make evaluations about the source of the content, so I think it's clear you completely missed what I actually said for what you wanted to believe I said.

I understand you as dismissing anything not from a reputable institution. Is that not what you meant by "Avoid individuals entirely, and focus on institutions who are meaningfully harmed by their inaccuracy if discovered."? I read you literally. I don't see examples in the real world of institutions being meaningfully harmed by mistakes, ever.

> No, I didn't ask why you cared about talking to me, I asked why you cared about Internet Argument Points. You brought them up, then got pissy about me caring about them.

What?

> I don't owe you shit and this is manipulative. You don't get to tell me what to do or how I engage in a conversation.

No you don't but it would be much better use of your time to just define these institutions. I claim their "monetary incentive" you mentioned mean they push you into their walled gardens, like AWS, Oracle and others. As I see it unbiased sources don't exist, and all sources have to be taken with a grain of salt. I would love to be proven wrong, why the hesitation to share an example? Was I close with the Docker one?

Maybe we're even in agreement but you've painted yourself in a corner? What other conclusions can I draw after all this back and forth?

> "This is from an anonymous source who has no incentive to be accurate, so it is of unknown quality." is my "gripe". It's the gripe you replied to originally, so stop gaslighting.

"Hence nobody else in the entire world should see any value in it either, because anonymous internet stranger."

With such deep thoughts you should consider running for president, you'll be in good company. You probably understand that everyone starts as a nobody, how are they supposed to build said reputation if nobody ever evaluates them on their work? Chicken and the egg. Maybe that's his incentive? Build reputation, or land a job, or a million other reasons. I don't judge anything on shallow requirements like reputation, it can be a useful metric but never necessary. I would miss a lot of great content if I did.
I was using ldd to investigate how nix handles dynamic linking and I was seeing some output I didn't understand. Others were asking about this on stackoverflow[0] but I wasn't able to find any explanation. After a little digging I realized what I was missing: ldd doesn't run the dynamic linker requested by the program (in its elf headers), rather it uses the "standard" dynamic linker in your environment.

I wouldn't say irrelevant but definitely nuanced.

Putting more insulation in the attic does not mean redoing the roof. Depending on what you have it might just be blowing in some insulation or adding matting. Of course there are options like spray foaming but it's not the only one.

You are of course right that if your walls are completely uninsulated you will probably want to rip out that dry wall and that will cost you. Maybe blown insulation is an option too depending on your specifics.

Do some math and see if it makes sense to do it if you don't want to do it purely for the sake of the planet. Drywalling isn't that big of a deal actually. The worst would be the ceiling and you don't have to touch that. Regular drywall on a wall is easily done solo by a home owner. Been there, done that.

It's funny what money makes you do. I had a choice to pay tens of thousands to have professionals do it or pay hundreds for materials and do it myself. I did lots of TIL and I have beautiful white walls again.
But they can't, and people see it for what it appears to be: illegitimate.

During the Revolutionary War British officers were aghast when American soldiers deliberately tried to shoot British officers during battle. It was considered uncivilized by the British to do this. People fight back any way that they are able to. It’s convenient for the superpower to say forms of warfare or striking back are “illegitimate” when those forms are contrary to how they want things to be fought.

It is not illegitimate for Iran to fight back the only way they can.
The hawks on all sides never stop escalating. Doves and diplomacy have been successfully sidelined. Gone are the times when Kennedy and Khrustchev acted like adults and established a direct line to de-escalate the Cuban Missile Crisis. Now the prevailing mindset on both sides is “you can’t trust those other guys to keep any of their promises”. A very bad place to be in.

Plastic does take a long time to decompose, but to the extent this is actually a major issue isn't clear to me. A plastic bag takes 20-40 years to decompose per the BBC. That landfill you use will be there long after we're dead, certainly more than 20-40 years.

The main issue is whether it makes it to the landfill in the first place, but this isn't particular to plastic. .

I think we’re talking past one another. Solar is definitely economical in certain circumstances, and every country overbuilds to some extent. Whether building excess solar makes sense is a question of cost of a marginal unit of energy, since the water doesn’t care what powered its desalination. The energy isn’t wasted since it will eventually need to come from somewhere.

Another consideration is political sovereignty, since solar can’t easily be turned off by a foreign adversary.
