We pollute the environment by just living. After you eat a meal and digest it, you take a crap. After you drink some water you take a piss. That is pollution, but it is low level.

You get 100 people all taking craps and pissing in one area, that causes huge problems for the local area. Also breeds disease.

Your solution in this case would be what? Because you say not to find a way to clean, just stop over polluting.

What you and the writer's of "Don't Look Up" don't seem to get is that, by pressing humanity into space and solving challenging problems we get new tools to deal with existing problems. Not that "All the problems will cease to exist once we do the thing."

You get a new tool, how you use that tool is up to you and those around you.

In 1920, someone developed a pesticide that was great for killing louse, fumigating ships and warehouses. This was great and saved many people.
Then in 1942, someone decided to use it to systematically murder a race of people.

This does not mean that we should never make or use pesticides again, it means that we need to bring people closer together and get them to stop trying to kill each other over slight differences.
> “My hope is that ultimately, this work will contribute to bringing advanced meditation out of the monastery,” Sacchet said, describing its “incredible promise for moving beyond addressing mental health issues, toward helping people thrive.”

What exactly is considered "advanced meditation"? I've been meditating for years, but don't do it for hours each day or go on extended silent retreats. I've read many practices too and I'm not aware of anything "advanced" outside of just spending more time and revolving more of your life around it. 10-15 minutes a day already does wonders for me.
I agree with you completely and yet it's practically impossible finding a worthwhile alternative. I've tried finding alternatives on my last upgrade cycle and it's like having to live with endless amounts of compromises just to get away from Apple.

For the iPhone, I tried looking at the Pixel for the Vanilla Android experience and long support, yet it seems like people are fighting battery life issues all the time. Not to mention the polish of the software, app ecosystem and stability.

Also, couldn't find anything coming near the value of a baseline Macbook Air M1 as far as build quality, battery life, stability etc. is concerned.

I like to also read comics and magazines on the iPad and that's also a market where I have no idea what an alternative would be. And that's the state of the tablet market for years now.

Maybe I could get rid of my Apple Watch, but it just works and has endless amounts of third party accessories. I've been looking at Fossil Hybrid Smartwatches and it seems like they are a hot mess of instability and bad support.

At the end of the day, it's about stability and ease of use. I'm way past the time where I had the time and found it really cool to try every new ROM coming out ("daily driver", "What isn't working? You tell me") and it seems like Apple still can't be beat at this front. Sadly.

I use container tabs in my main profile as well, as like you, I'd have too many profiles if I didn't.

My profile use is about big concerns and work modes. For example my work profile has some developer plugins, separate password managers, bookmarks, and snippets. Doing so keeps everything nice and removed from my home life.

Electricity is way cheaper at the poont of generation than for residential consumer.

IIRC, solar now gets to about 3$ per Mwth, so purely energy cost would be about 0.33$ per kg of propane if 100Mj of input energy per kg of propane stands for that electrolyser plus stated 13Mj for Co2 capture for 1 kg of propane.
So, the cost is not negligible, but could be competetive even now, and solar is likely to get cheaper.
> the pursuit of "states" can be a trap in of itself

Fully agree although a lot of devotees of Ramana Maharshi said they fell into silence just sitting in his presence. Improbable but it would be hilarious if scientists could make little "mouna wifi hubs" where practitioners got a silence handicap by sitting around it.

In the end though, I'm also skeptical that anything about self-inquiry can be replicated by an additive approach.

The rules are far more uniform. In addition to more consistency from the utilities, there's also far more consistency with building codes and permitting. In the US, every little municipality does their own damn thing, on their own timeline, with whatever quirks exists within a small bureaucracy ruled by politicians elected by people that rarer even know their names.

Having more uniform rules across states and regions would reduce a lot of the overhead of installing residential solar.
Sam Harris’ ‘Waking up’ app is good. Starts from fundamentals and teaches you about the practice.
Couple of ways to tell

1. Do your multiline hotkeys have `Return` in them, or are they in braces?

2. Do you write `Send Foo` or `Send "Foo"`?

If you're doing the former, then I really recommend upgrading to v2, it makes a huge difference.
> Lol this is straight up conspiracy theory stuff.

It's not. The system needs growth, can't have growth if everyone owns reliable things. What you need is people either owning thing that need constant maintenance or straight up renting/leasing everything

In France they're preparing a law to build your "own" house on rented land, to "help ease access to home ownership" because land is to expensive. What will happen is that land ownership will be even more concentrated and the average joe will never ever be able to buy land, you'll need to rent the land $$$ a month, with whatever terms (which might or might not change with time)
I’ve tried Calm and Headspace, and they never really worked for me.

The “Waking Up” app has been a complete game changer. The core introductory course helped me get it for the first time, and the library of content and meditation approaches from various teachers in the app gives you a rabbit hole to explore as deeply as you want.

It’s been truly transformative, starting with the gradual realization that my thoughts are not me. If they were, who is aware of them? This isn’t just an idea, it’s something that I began to feel/understand directly, which then led to a lot less entanglement and rumination. This was just the beginning.

I definitely credit the approach in this app with making this make sense. Not affiliated, just a happy user.
A Canticle for Leibowitz comes to mind, though while the preservation of knowledge after collapse is a central premise it is not what the novel is about, exactly. Worth reading in any case.
How can this be? I saw this HN Post a few days ago. It's also marked as visited in my browser history.

When I worked at a FAANG ~15 years ago, a new VP came in and heard, correctly, that our group didn't have enough automated tests. He created a requirement that every developer commit two new tests to the code base every workday. He had automation put in to monitor our compliance.

Within a couple of weeks, scripts were circulating to auto-generate and auto-commit tests. If the JVM we were using had a bug in adding random numbers together, we'd have known about it very quickly.

That's about the time I decided I should move on. I'm glad I did. The company I joined treated developers like adults and developers acted like adults. And we had great automated test coverage.

This might be very subjective, but NES games were actually enjoyable. 2600 era games, while they were enjoyable for the time, were instantly obsoleted IMHO once the NES came around and you had games with stories, no matter how thin, and endings and such. The whole "high score" era of games, I personally have no interest in going back to those at all. Maybe one or two games of Grand Prix and River Raid, but I know I would get bored really quick.
Defense hiring is off the chain at the moment. There are a lot of big companies that cannot fill positions because they cannot find people with the right combination of development experience, clearance, and certifications.
Interesting take. With this line of thinking would Buddhist monks just be practicing excessive escapism much like those who turn to drugs and alcohol?

Just some random thoughts but there seems to be a reoccurring theme in life in which too much of a good thing is indeed too much. Life is about balance, all that meditating and no action does what exactly? What good is all that enlightenment if you aren't experiencing life or helping others?
I like to consider Meditation outside of any religion personally.

Meditation helps to calm the nervous system. Counting to 10 (1 count per inhale + exhale), or simply focusing on each inhale & exhale, or repeating a word or multi-word mantra, is what I do personally.

It's especially nice in a Sauna with some mystical atmospheric music (such as Anugama, one of my favorites for meditation).

I have found that it improves my ability to concentrate (especially useful when studying or working) and to calm myself in stressful situations.
+1 for broot[1], it works so fast and can be used even to fuzzy search sub-sub-directories. I'm also bit lost on the features but the help is quite good and mostly I use it just to find a directory and enter it, which requires only one keyboard shortcut.

> Unlike ours, the manufacturer’s M1 drivers are unfortunately not conformant for any standard graphics API, whether Vulkan or OpenGL or OpenGL ES. That means that there is no guarantee that applications using the standards will work on your M1/M2 (if you’re not running Linux). This isn’t just a theoretical issue. Consider Vulkan. The third-party MoltenVK layers a subset of Vulkan on top of the proprietary drivers. However, those drivers lack key functionality, breaking valid Vulkan applications. That hinders developers and users alike, if they haven’t yet switched their M1/M2 computers to Linux.

This becomes very obvious to anyone who has to debug now-deprecated OpenGL apps in macOS, because the abstraction layers do not actually expose OpenGL state in ways that old Apple OpenGL debuggers can read. Which means unless you still have old Macs, with old versions of macOS installed where OpenGL is not Metal under the hood (I can't even remember the last version where that was true) then it's literally not possible to debug OpenGL on macOS anymore using stock debuggers.

Your debugger and or app will just crash.
A propane tank is basically just the hollow shell of a battery, made of even cheaper mild steel since weight is far less of a concern. There's no contest in this department.

Not that I'm in favor of combustion engines persisting.
Thus showing that ideas are a dime a dozen. It's realization that's hard.
There's another option:

For a SoC (or bigger uC) include both ARM & RISC-V cores. They can work side by side, be used as development platform for either, share memory or peripherals included in the SoC (or perhaps share different but overlapping subsets of those resources). Or a Big.Little style setup where the "Big" and "Little" are different ISA.

Where utilising chip resources 100% is not too important (like, in most applications), designers could simply work with the ISA cores they're comfortable with. Switch use to the other cores, use the same peripherals.

Would this be difficult to work with? Unlikely. Software support for such setups exists, suitable defaults / boot settings & go.

At the very least this would get ARM foot in the door if it turns out RISC-V eating ARMs market share (which is already happening, be it limited scale so far). Or collect the 'ARM tax' for SoCs whose designers wanted RISC-V but don't mind including ARM as well.
Genuine question. Why would apple make a driver for something they don't support? and if they wouldn't, is there really any shame?
It seems they're using the term to distinguish "meditation for emotional regulation" (v1 research) from "meditation for itself" (v2 research)
For clarity, this isn't the first conformant linux drivers.

Apple themselves are not conformant to OpenGL® ES 3.1.

So this is literally the first conformant OpenGL ES 3.1 drivers for M-Series, for any operating system (Apple or Non-Apple).

Hence why the call to action to donate to the team.

I wonder can they use the same membrane/catalyst for the inverse process: oxidize propane with atmospheric oxygen, release water and CO2, and instead of heat directly produce electricity without too much energy wasted in the process?

If yes, the consequences for energy storage might be significant. The energy density of propane is 49.6 MJ/kg. Apparently, Li-Ion batteries are about 0.8 MJ/kg, more than 50x the difference.

I’m a fan of systems where the diagram and code can be changed on both sides, too. Though they lack flexibility and require a sort of convention or framework to bind both sides. Often they can work incredibly well but tend to have a narrow use case.

Something like XState and the Stately studio editor comes to mind; it’ll generate state machine diagrams from code or vice versa. But it only manages state charts. I’m not sure how you could create something similar with more broad applications. Though, maybe that’s not necessary or necessarily a good idea anyways.

It isn't just the lack of a piece of paper, it's the fact every project is new to some extent (to exactly the extent we can't just reuse existing code) and present somewhat new challenges. Also, some difficulties scale very nonlinearly, with single changes turning the challenge from needing a few extra weeks to solve to being effectively insoluble in any reasonable timeframe, if ever. ("Check this program to see if our code standards are being followed" to "Check to see if this program will halt" can sound equivalent to a manager, but woe betide the person who tries on the second one.)

I have a considerable number of tweaks I apply to my Firefox installs, too and the process is a little cumbersome.

I wonder if it would be a reasonable task to set up an “opinionated” fork of Firefox with all the changes being UI/UX-related and keep it up to date with mainline… that would make fresh installs more effortless and allow improvements that aren’t practical with regular Firefox.

Could you give an example of beliefs/ideas you've let go of, or discovered can't be known to be true?

I've been trying to understand the pros/cons of psychotherapy vs meditation, as both of them seem to involve letting go of false beliefs. But while there are a lot of examples of this in psychotherapy and the mechanisms are well-documented, it's hard to find first-person accounts regarding meditation that aren't just generalities. So I'd find it really valuable to hear some examples of anything concrete/practical -- of course if it's nothing too personal or private.

Also, while some energy drinks are associated with laxative effects, it is often attributed to other supplements, such as taurine.

I think the axis OP is looking at is “more inaccurate information” which medpalm does perform more poorly on.
When this discussion comes up, I think some people forget the context is online fraud. The attacker likely has other information on you, so a lookup service that helps them stitch it together with your real name and number is not good. The yellow pages is not a lookup service like that, it can't connect you from other information to a name and phone number, so having a book of names unlinked to the data you have gets you nowhere.
Sounds at first listen like a way to make it easier to destroy the IA. If the LoC copies it and continues to archive the web, it would be a lot easier to make the argument in court that the IA wasn't even necessary.

The LoC would have no obligation to open up the archive to the public - maybe instead access would be provided through a single computer in a DC building after filling out a form, having that form approved, and they search you for thumb drives and take away your phone before you go in. Eventually the entire thing could be accidentally deleted, or the budget for it could be cut.
