Yeah, after a few years of Reddit, I started calling this kind of thing "internet advice"... ok for a discussion, but often contradictory or wrong (if I happen to know the topic in depth).

For example, people give advice to grown men and women about how to proceed with their divorce or financial planning. Lots of up votes to lend credibility.... but if you dig into their history, the advice giver is 14 years old according to their other posts on other subreddits.

No disrespect to the people here. Just saying...
This is pretty much entirely wrong and backwards. Cheers.

I'm always sad to see applications go (especially if the recommended alternative is a paid software), but did that thing ever work properly? In the past decade I used Windows only when someone held a gun to my head, but before that I remember that WordPad always messed up all documents I have ever opened: weird page and line breaks, picture and textbox formatting all over the place, and saving a document was a good way to prevent future reading.
The event is held several miles “into” the dry lake bed - once you get off the paved road, you drive about 1.5 miles on the dry lake bed before you get to the “gate” of the event boundaries. You can see this pretty clearly if you look up its location on Google maps. Right now, the event is completely surrounded, for miles, by muddy lake bed. If you tried to drive your wheels would get jammed up.
Just using OOP is considered bad. There is no "appropriate" way to use OOP. I see people being criticized for that, all the time.

100% of crashes on my M1 MBA occur in applications when accessing files over SMB network shares. One every couple of days. I have to restart about once every week or two because it borks the system completely.

But when I'm not connected to an SMB drive, I don't think I've had a single crash in years.

I have no idea if it's something in the SMB driver itself that's crashing, or assumptions inside of application logic that fail in certain SMB scenarios.
My understanding of Jung’s hypothesis about this was that every facet of the dream (the scene, the characters, etc.) is you - your psyche. In other words, your subconscious is effectively using those images as puppets to act out a play of sorts that reveals or releases some kind of tension.
> There is no "intelligence" going on here. It's not "thinking". But it can still perform calculus by just stochastically emulating how average text on the internet looks.

It always annoys me when people say this, I’ll try to explain why.

There are two possible definitions of “intelligence” you could use here; the ability to process information to get something done, and something hand-wavy about human consciousness.

GPT-4 clearly has some ability to process information to get something done. You might say that by this definition [insert trivial thing] is intelligent, but it doesn’t have to be a binary thing of intelligent or not. I think it’s fine to say maybe a calculator has very low intelligence (but not necessarily nothing), GPT-4 is more intelligent than that and humans are much more intelligent again. GPT-4 has many limitations compared to humans, but I think that just makes it less intelligent, rather than disqualifying it from having intelligence at all. Sure, it’s just predicting text, but that’s a task that requires a level of intelligence. You might say it’s not general like humans, but I’d say it has a much better ability to generalise than something like an image labelling AI, so that feels like it’s at least getting somewhere.

The second definition is useless for practical purposes because it’s not measurable or observable in any way, so it’s not useful to use that.

So I feel like this is something people say to reassure themselves that it can never get to human level, and is fundamentally different to human intelligence, whereas I think it’s somewhat similar but at a lower level.

>the data was fragmented in such a way that efficient lookup was possible

Yeah, there's a build step that sorts and arranges data into "cells", making binary search possible.

Not sure about kernel/user space. I'm just calling `pread` from ruby, so only a few bytes are loaded per lookup.
Unaffordable at the margin, and impractical, for the offense.
The article concludes with "the current mortgage rates are looking painful, which I’m guessing is going to increase the share of renting." -- I actually have the hope that increasing interest rates will decrease the share of renting.

This is because I had thought that the rise of rental houses was due to historically low mortgage rates leading to artificially high profitability for landlords. Now that rates are more normal, its my feeling that landlords will be squeezed out of the market, and more single family homes will be owner occupied. I'm actually hoping that the landlords and AirBNB owners on ARMs will be forced to sell when their rates adjust upwards, which will increase housing supply and finally pop this bubble.
I think there's a lot going on when we dream, and it's not all directly related or cause and effect of a single process. The idea that a twitch causes a neurological response that we interpret as a part of a dream sounds nice, until you ask yourself why sleepwalkers act out dreams. They're not twitching, their minds are wandering and their bodies are responding. I have a feeling the guy is on to something, but I don't think it's quite as simple as "the reverse of what we thought is true". I would think the body and mind take advantage of downtime to do all the things they need downtime to do, and it makes sense evolutionarily for them to multitask so as to spend the least amount of time incapacitated as possible. So probably, many unrelated or tangentially related things are going on, and possibly even some hokey shit for good measure.
Why do we need to give leaches like Intuit anything? We want to minimize the income of companies like that.

The tax code and filing process should be optimized for efficient use of government resources and tax payer time. There should be zero consideration for maximizing the profit of leaches like Intuit. If anything, we should be working to minimize the profit of such unethical companies.

My todo list becomes too big and I start to procrastinate.

What you describe, sound much like GTD. I never truly tried it because the kinds of task don't have much overlap with my life.

Another problem I have is prioritization. I can't do it well and want to do much more things than possible.
I love that a conservative think tank funded by oligarchs has an opinion about morality. I'll take my morality from people who know what that is.
As a living kidney donor, I can tell you that it's not all that scary. It's much scarier to be ESRD and suffering the hellish purgatory of dialysis.

The operation is quick and recovery isn't too bad. As long as you have support at home from friends and family it's not terrible.

What struck me, though, was how weak it made me. Walking for the first time in a week was very slow, very sweaty, and put me into a state of extreme exhaustion.
It's a good thing that's completely not what is being claimed then.

Yes. There is really no way to deliver fixed scope and fixed timeline/cost efficiently which is really what companies are looking for.

If it's a bad argument, it's a bad argument whether it's from a conservative think tank or from someone else. If it's a good argument, it's a good argument whether it's from a conservative think tank or from someone else.

It's up to you to show that is a good or bad argument, rather than committing the logical fallacy of poisoning the well.
Just an inch of rain over 3 days doesn't sound that bad. Wind, hail and lightning are more pressing dangers if big thunderclouds develop.
I’m not sure that’s exactly true. Maybe in % increase yes, but are you considering the leverage when buying a home and the money that would have been spent on rent (which can increase year over year)?

I recommend the NY Times rent vs buy calculator because there is no one size fits all answer.

Also like some people I know, they have paid off a house which is a steady stream of passive (ish) income before buying their current place. That can also pay off on a longer timeline.

Nope, they’ll just sell them off to large investment firms that are flush with funds after the long period of low interests rates. They intend to keep everyone renting forever so that the whole scheme can be packaged and sold as an asset class.
Lack of easy transportation can quickly turn a merely inconvenient or uncomfortable situation into an extremely dangerous one.

Break a leg in front of the hospital? Super minor.

Break a leg 40 miles from the nearest road? Extremely serious.

Mud, especially with huge numbers of people, has a way of turning the former situation into the latter situation rather quickly.

Also who’s being breathless? The article didn’t mention FEMA.
>>No, he’s saying one singular (small) telescope could be pointed at Jupiter at all times.

For a singular telescope to be viewing Jupiter, it would only be able to see one side of Jupiter. What happens if an object collides on the backside? Going to throw off your metrics that you seem to think is a worth while effort to investigate.

So I guess terrestrial intelligence didn't score much after all

> And while Porter, Beyer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and others have expressed interest in the free direct-file pilot program, congressional Republicans are speaking out against it.

> In May, the Republican-controlled House Ways and Means Committee published a press release disapproving of the IRS' direction to move forward and create the pilot program after its chairman accused the Biden Administration of "cooking the books" in its study that ultimately recommended such a program be implemented.

> "IRS control of tax preparation is the latest step in Democrats' ongoing efforts to supercharge the agency to go after working-class families, after giving the agency $80 billion to increase audits on taxpayers making less than $75,000," said Rep. Jason Smith. "Americans will be powerless when the IRS completely controls the tax filing process from start to finish."

It is quite amazing how far we’ve got. Bell’s theorem, the free will theorem, local or non local universe, real or non real, coobservers, superdeterminism. We’ve gone from modeling results of our observations to trying to figure out what exactly observation is.

Neuroscience with its split brain experiment, showing how the brain deludes itself, how there is no self, no central spot. How the nonspeaking part that controls one side of the body never rebels hearing the delusions of the speaking part.

So many mysteries that were fully uncovered and many more waiting to be uncovered. What a ride being conscious is.
In no world or relative to any historical period is this true. Just look at the historic ratio of income to house prices in Los Angeles.
1. I’m not convinced this is true. Yes, electric cars have environmental costs, but so does everything. How confident are you that solving climate requires reducing car ownership, rather than just benefiting from it, and what evidence do you have?

2. I believe emphasizing car reduction is a political non-starter in the US, due to the way cities are designed and car-centric culture, so taking this attitude is more likely to harm emissions than help it. It will turn off people who might otherwise be willing to make an incremental change for the better. Electric cars are a net gain over combustion cars, even if they aren’t perfect.

3. We can shift to electric cars and reduce car ownership.
Imagine scenarios where someone might not be able to make their own coffee (or not easily), and also the many people who can't be bothered to do it themselves.

I'm sympathetic to your view, as I'd either make my own at home or use instant in cold water (like I would camping) if I ever drink coffee again (another flip response might be "just don't drink coffee"). On a road trip, though, my spouse needs her coffee, and so she brings in her insulated mug or uses whatever cup they have if we're driving through. As seldom as we road trip, the impact is small and I'd rather lobby for the big-impact stuff, like vehicle miles, heating buildings, industrial pollution and energy conversion, and how much land we've converted to grow food-animals and mono-cultured crops on. These are too big to comprehend, so we pick at each other about straws instead of engaging in politics and governance.
It calls for the ability of the general public to be able to repair their vehicles, so that anyone with such a vehicle can fix such problems.

What alternative would you even propose? The only entity with the ability to feasibly fix the bug is defunct and bankrupt, leaving them both judgment proof and with no resources to develop a patch. The only people with the incentive to spend resources fixing it are the people who own the vehicles. So the owners need the ability to repair their vehicles.

Which you can solve by just doing that to begin with, requiring no separate legislation.

It's already legal in the US to build your own car from scratch. There are certain minimum safety requirements (headlights, windshields, seatbelts, bumpers), but less than you may think (e.g. doors are not required, the steering wheel doesn't have to be on the left). The NHTSA isn't going to ask you to prove your car's crash-safety, all you need to do is pass inspection in your state.
Are you saying that the file would just entirely be loaded into a page cache eventually? I imagine, even if true, it still wouldn't result in OOM killing the server/worker daemons on account of this data?

If you're there, shelter in place, and listen to people who are more experienced. This helps the medics.

Typically many medical issues are straightforward to triage and treat with field kits. Then the medics ask the person's friends to drive the person to Reno for more in-depth care.

Examples in my experience are twisted ankles, broken arms, alcohol sickness, dehydration, cardiac events, infections, lost prescriptions, overdoses, electrocutions, eye scratches, falls from heights, power tool slips, cold exposure, and of course burns.

This year, it turns out the timing of the rain makes for new kinds of challenges for the medics, because they're unable to use many of the transport vehicles that are akin to golf carts. And the medics are currently unable to refer people to Reno.

In a city of 70K+ people who planned for 5 days on average, now stuck for 3 more days because of the rain, estimate 50%+ more medical issues. And no way currently to drive to Reno.

In parallel, some generators will run out of gas supplies, some portas and bathrooms will run out of supplies and servicing, some heaters will run out of propane, etc. This combination tends to make people uneasy and somewhat irrational.

This is why shelter in place is important: it helps reduce accidents and injuries, and helps people to feel calm and think clearly. Help the medics and volunteers by staying put, being more careful than usual, and helping people as you can.

The advice to conserve supplies, and keep warm, is not because the whole city is likely to run out or freeze-- it's because medics want to minimize people wandering around the city seeking supplies, and want to keep people in good physical health and good mental health.
