I think that the forced repetition of thoughts to compensate for memory also primes the brain for anxiety, long-term.

I use my music memory to do things when continuity breaks down. I think of a short, familiar melody, and attach words to it based on what I need to do. Like getting a song stuck in my head on purpose. As I move through rooms, I gain and lose awareness and I probably won't know what I was up to by the time I arrive - but then I notice a melody with instructions is playing in my head.

Anything that leaves my visual field can leave my awareness. I have found that attaching clothespins to my shirt with a post-it is helpful for more complex tasks.

Following conversation is hard for me. At some point I want to look into using an AAC device to both track where a conversation has been and remember what I'm trying to say.

My brain injury happened when I was a child, but wasn't diagnosed until I was nearly 30. There really aren't many resources available for anyone outside of the education system.
It's good to have a binary that you can run, but you'd still have to deal with Go dependencies at build-time, and Go dependencies sometimes can go sideways as well (probably not as bad as Ruby, though)
Nice. Your comics are rather amusing.
oh I've always loved looking backwards at the uncle ben great power = great responsibility adage

someone defined knowledge as wordly information made static and power as ability to exact influence on the world ... emotions (and knowledge) are merely a guide to behaviour which actualizes such power ... fuck your feelings of self resentment, I just got stabbed to death ... or conversely fuck your cowardice, you still saved my life

how can one claim responsibility when their mechanism to do so has been robbed by their environment? imagine being a kid whacked on stimulants before 10 and having all neuronal connections formed under a drug enriched environment?
this sounds interesting. Will look into it. Thanks
The main issue isn't firing a customer (although it's bad), but locking up their money. It's not like they say "hey, we want to stop doing business with you, please transfer all your money to some other bank within a week or take out your money at the nearest branch", or do they?

Locking up the money is basically theft, but I'm sure the law and regulations say otherwise.
Ironically those KYC requirements are there on account of the United States, not necessarily the Germans.
I agree that base 10 is not optimal but the US/imperial distance system is hard to defend.

A foot is 12 inches, a yard is 3 feet and a mile is 1760 yards. And don't get me started on the weight and volume units.

I entertain a hypothesis that such inconsistent unit systems (and heavy usage of fractions instead of decimal or other positional system) do make people less apt in handling numbers. Having lived for a while in England (which is legally metric but in practice imperial for many things) for a while, I think it is reflected in how things involving numbers are often stated in quite convoluted terms.

Ok, so please provide the exact time you consider it a "lie" and not a "prediction"

He's won every single lawsuit about this so far, but feel free to sue him if you think this is what he did.
With the level of scrutiny tesla is under, and the level of shortselling going on previously, if there was any of this going on there would have been massive class action lawsuits.

You are repeating anti Elon talking points, without actual facts. But feel free to source the exact things you mention.

Getting predictions wrong are not lies. Especially for an extremely ambitious entrepreneur in very tough markets. If it were, 99% of silicon valley would be in jail, or fired, or whatever.
The scope of potential smart contract applications is much broader, and vastly more interesting than payment channels (yawn). And payment channels are pretty much the only application (definitionally) in which you can get away with "all parties are online, or this contract will be cancelled anyway" assumptions.

Do you have a citation for a block-based relative timelock? The only such things I've seen are verifiable delay functions, which are a lot more like hashcash.

What about absolute lock times? Those are far more interesting in applications of business logic, like logistics contracts. Most of which require non-interactive state updates.
By this logic Tesla does not have "autonomous vehicles" either. They just do adjustments after the car crashes and kills someone instead of doing it online.
Exactly, that's a non-starter for a whole pile of essential services. Which makes homelessness very easy to fall into but extremely hard to work your way back out of.
> "I am curious how much our body clock synchronizes with real time"

Various experiments have been performed with people in caves, where they don't have "time cues" such as natural daylight. From the Michel Siffre wikipedia entry[0]: "He found that without time cues, several people including himself adjusted to a 48-hour rather than a 24-hour cycle ... Several astronauts reported experiences similar to those experienced in underground experiments such as loss of short-term memory to being isolated from external time references." And for Stefania Follini[1]: "her biological clock drifted away from its regular rhythm to following first a 28-hour day, and later on a 48-hour one ... When she finally emerged from the cave at the experiment's end ... she estimated that it was ... only two months from the start of the experiment instead of the four that had actually transpired".

The Programma 101 is an amazing device. If you are ever in Ivrea (the birth place of Olivetti) there is lovely little museum called "Tecnologicamente" where members of the original Olivetti team meet up to fix Programma 101 and tell the story. It's not the CHM but it's a beautiful little place. http://www.museotecnologicamente.it/

It was exactly $35k in 2019, and even today, despite massive inflation in the five years since, the base model is just under $39k.

Happens so often, the evolved euphemism is "fell out the back of a low flying aircraft." Us Dubliners are fond of this one.
25k is quite a lot for many average salaried people in Europe, indeed the step bump of price (almost 2x in 10 years) of non-electric cars already put the eu market in a dire position where most people are not able to replace their car anymore and keep using very old cars with very high pollution outputs
Based on the latest data & research I would argue that it was not worth it. It was a test for governments how far they can go and we are back to pre-Nuremberg levels. Big pharma came out victorious (again) having insane profits while providing a half-assed solution. And we are ok with this.
This was such a great listen, I came here to comment this and was glad that it was already here.

It is amazing to realise that many of the physical limitations we have are coming from the brain.
Transformers (GPT, etc.) cannot generalize beyond their training data
>Electric vehicles will succeed or fail with how they can establish themselves on a second hand market.

They will "succeed" because the government will force us to use them. It's us citizens who will succeed or fail to have freedom to move, depending on how wealthy we are ;)
I'm doing guided meditation (sometimes) with a guy who styles himself a hypnotherapist, and he does this thing too; I believe it's called reparenting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparenting).

edit: The bit in that article about the therapist assuming a parental role and the "patient" assuming a child state with bottle feeding and the like is a bit fucking disturbing if you ask me; this shouldn't be necessary for most people.

Many people grow up and live their adult lives having missed something in their childhood from a parent / caretaker, unaware of how it affects them in their daily lives. They run away from it, seeking comfort in distractions, work, or whatever, and / or look and cling to other people hoping that they can provide what they have missed for them (see also: codependency). Reparenting and this type of guided meditation is a way to "fix" these issues. I'm late 30's and now I feel like this is the thing I needed in my mid twenties, instead of just sit with vague issues and feel sorry for myself.
Accusations are against people.

Good on you for spending time/energy on yourself. A lot of things in your post really resonated with me (like diagnosis late in life). Excited that you get to uncover the things you're capable of on your own terms.
The model 3 is a very successful car. However, based on what the stated goal of the Model 3 was, it failed. Unless you consider a brief 43 day window when sales where slow as hitting the target.

So, sure they may sell a handful of cars built at this factory at 25k, but more realistically this may be hitting the price point the Model 3 was aiming for.
The same car model just 10 years ago went for half the price. Same for the fiat Panda (my parents bought it in 2008 for 8k, now the most base model I can find is 19k). In the meantime salaries have not double at all (in some nations they even fell)

is that a form of flatmap ?
Let's just drop time zones. Then noon is not at 12 o'clock in most parts of the world ... who cares? The sun will rise at your place not at 6 or 7 but at maybe 11 or 17 or 23. I would love it, humanity would have the same time all over the planet. I think it is a silly tradition from medieval times to expect 12 to be high noon.
In my philosophy one should not dismiss the words of an intelligent
or experienced person because other fools misunderstood them.

I think you're right that naive people adopted Eisenhower's slogan as
a banner for their own, sometime quite nutty theories.

"Military Industrial COmplex" has such a theatrically sinister sound
to it doesn't it? It almost immediately conjures an image of the Death
Star.

But I'm interested here in the point that this highly credible figure
did make, and why, and that it's ever more important today in a
world where kinetics and geophysical boundaries mean less than
networks of business and financial relations.

As a pro-defence person, I sometimes use the example of the Claymore
mine to explain this to hawkish, but simplistic thinkers;

On one side it has the words "THIS SIDE TOWARDS ENEMY" written in
large clear letters. One can only cringe at the misadventures
preceding that necessity, but I think the same needs writing on a lot
of other technologies.

> a defense sector is a crucial part of a Western democracy's economy,

More. A defence sector is a crucial part of any nations existence. It
is deflating that to a mere "economy" that is problematic. Because a
bad defence sector can serve an economy while undermining an existence.

That's happens when, through expedient financial alliances with the
wrong sorts you end up with the pointy end facing towards your own
people and not the enemy.
But you're just asserting that it's showing bad judgment! Why is it a bad idea? Certainly not due to performance. Nor due to productivity.
Is there something that's covered by an interview that a list of questions or email exchange wouldn't? Interviews take up a valuable chunk of the CEOs time, so I'm somewhat sympathetic to them declining it.
No, I get it. I'm not a network guy so I don't know the terminology :)

What I think is kind of confusing, is that I'm separating the notions of a Network Device and the WireGuard Keys that go with a device. So it's like this:

Network <-> Device <-> Invited Member <-> Interface (PrivateKeys)

As a network owner/admin, you get to define your devices, routes/connections etc. To associate and/or generate keys for those devices, there's a separate step, the Interfaces. Those are managed by end-users themselves, who can generate and encrypt their key set right from the browser.

Of course, you can just create an Interface for each device in your networks so that your end-users won't have to do anything other than scanning the QR codes or downloading the relevant configs to their devices.

This design makes it super clear who has access to what: Interfaces are owned by their creators, Devices are owned by their Network owners or the Member they were assigned to. Also makes it easier to make changes to WireGuard related data (key rotation maybe?) without needing to make changes to the network-level settings.

> "wait, who's generating the keys? who's storing the keys? who has access to my private key?"

So, the user owning the network or the device can generate keys for that device. The private keys, if provided, are encrypted in the browser before storing them on WireHub. The user who created the Interface has access to the private key, if they provided it, and if they remember the password they used to encrypt it in the first place.

If you forget the password to an Interface, you create a new Interface for that device with a new set of keys. The configs of all other devices will be updated to reflect that change (they will need to re-download and re-install of course).
> Do you guys actually control your dreams?

Knowing that you are dreaming and controlling what happens in the dream are separate experiences. You can have one without the other, or you can experience both at once.

> How do you keep bad things from happening?

This again is independent of lucid dreaming. I find that nightmares are more likely when you feel too hot in bed and when you are stressed.

In a lucid dream, one in which you don't even need to be in control of the dream, you should be able to recognize that nothing in the dream can harm you. A dream lion wants to eat you? Let go and be eaten: no real harm is done.

At a more advanced level you may be able to recognize that the dream lion is a manifestation of your own fear and respond to it with compassion. When you do that, it will either become friendly or vanish.

> More importantly, do you remember anything when you wake up?

There is no way to know what has happened when we forget about it, whether dreaming or not. Selection bias is at play.

The biggest challenge to recreational lucid dreaming is not remembering what happened in the dream, or being able to control the dream. The biggest challenge is remembering what is it that you wanted to achieve in your next lucid dream.

That all said, while recreational lucid dreaming can be a fun experience, there is a much deeper practice called dream yoga which I would recommend to anybody is past the novelty phase of lucid dreaming. Alan Wallace wrote a book titled "Dreaming yourself awake" which I can recommend.
I remember reading stories about people who took a substance (can't remember which) and lived entire imaginary lives in a fantasy world in real-time: that is for years, they go to school, have kids, go to work, etc., until they wake up and it would have been only 15 minutes in actual life.

Well, you can do the same trick with argh & a symlink in /usr/bin.

I'll agree this is some improvement in ergonomics if the executable supports tab completion.

With makefile + argh I can do this: put the script as a dependency of data file, and rebuild it if code changes.

P=python3
my_data_file.csv: my_script.py input_data.csv
$P --flag1 --flag2 $^ $@

With your package, this becomes harder -- the file name and command name now are separated and must be checked for being in sync.

So, the package adds some features, but does it at some cost of other ways of interaction.
LCOE doesn't account for storage, grid extension necessary and for the fact that nuclear can work for 100 years but solar panels and wind turbines have to be replaced after 20-30. Also, wind and solar where? Solar and wind vary greatly based on where they're installed, yet everyone throws these values around like a solar panel in Greenland would be as efficient as one in Sahara.

Not enough computers were sold using 68k to provide enough demand for the chips and so it couldn't compete with Intel on price and couldn't justify spending lots on research and development. Intel had the PC-compatible market and thus a huge demand for its chips.

The model 3 is still the 7th most sold car in 2022.

Is a car company not allowed to raise prices? Like what standard are you holding tesla to? If they can sell a tesla for $42k, why sell it for $35k? Because Elon said so in 2015? That's ridiculous, its just not how markets or companies work. And they DID sell it for $35,000, for a while. So Elon didn't even lie.

Absolutely ridiculous the mental gymnastics some people will go to to hate the guy. Insane.
Hours being base 12 is why time is way more painful to calculate with than other quantities, and why SI just sticks to seconds.

Would Americans love pre-decimal British currency? All those shillings and florins with lots of integer divisions? I bet the average metric hating American would be unironically demanding decimal currency back when faced with it.

I always get curious about how American construction works when I hear this argument. Do builders spend all their time dividing stuff into 3 rather adding, multiplying or subtracting? I would've thought adding a sequence of measurements up would be a far more common operation.

What happens when you need to divide something into 3 a second time? Or you need to divide an arbitrary length into 3? Or what if you need to divide into 3 sections, but there is something extra between each section (like a frame or a post), or you have to account for the width of the cuts etc?

Is an 8x4ft sheet (eg plywood etc) really easier to mentally divide into 3 (on either dimension) than a 2400x1200mm one?
Mercurial is still written in Python. There seems to be a bit of Rust in there somewhere.

This is affecting a fraction of workers. Companies provided home office before that. In 2006 I was working remote with IBM. The interesting part is not remote vs on-site but open office vs limited noise & interruption office. There is also a question if this concentrated way of working, having most of the employees working from few locations are the sane way going forward or having a distributed set of smaller offices with people who's work overlaps would be a better option. We are so desperate to reduce CO2 with all sorts of hoops but ignore the huge saving potential of converting on-site work to something more optimal. Based on my anecdata it would be also significantly cheaper.
I'm sure he has, but are you saying that back then, he did not say he would stop making more affordable cars and more recently has has said he will stop?

> That’s a red herring. Lorries don’t have to be taxed the same way as cars, and actually most of the time are not.

Yes, but I can see it being unpopular to introduce a "road repair" tax that is justified based on drivers paying for the damage that they cause to roads and then not apply the same rules to the vehicles that cause the majority of the damage.
Show HN: Blufa – Elevating Video Privacy with Automatic Face Blurring
My name is Sebastian Christiansen, and I am the creator of Blufa—an app aiming to be the ultimate automatic face blurring tool for videos.

Blufa effortlessly processes any video your iPhone can natively play, analyzing it for visible faces and blurring them. It’s designed to provide sophisticated privacy protection for individuals without access to or experience with video editing.

I initiated Blufa’s development in September 2022 and released version 1.0 on the App Store last Thursday. The upcoming version 1.1 features a complete overhaul of the custom tracking engine. I’m hopeful that some of you would be interested in trying it out once it’s available on TestFlight (currently under review).

Full disclosure: The app is released as a commercial product, but I hope people will still want to experiment with it on TestFlight, which is, of course, completely free.

Feel free to ask questions or make suggestions, etc.

Thank you in advance!

“ But the hidden assumption here is that somehow our perceptions don’t generalise to the actual goings on in the universe, when they clearly do.”

It was available online at that price for 43 days February 28, 2019 to April 12, 2019. So, sure they sold a handful of cars at that price point, but only as a face saving measure not actually in bulk.

Todays 39k cough 40k if you don’t want black, is viable due to battery prices falling dramatically over the 6 years since they started selling the car not them actually hitting the stated goal.
No, it is a mathematical statement about linguistics. It should not be surprising that mathematics can be used to describe things. Everything in the universe can be described by mathematics--even truly random, acausal events have probability distributions which are described by mathematics. But being described by mathematics does not make it mathematics. That's a type error.
Not to deviate with the original issue, which is banks suddenly freezing funds, with no warning.

The $200 would've helped guarantee food and gas, it wouldn't cover shelter, i was studying in California, the cheapest hotel was $130~ a night. I also tried explaining the situation to the university, but unfortunately you are considered a current student only if you paid your tuition.

There were also programs to help students in crisis (provide them with place to stay, food) but its only available to students who paid the tuition.

PS: As of that situation happening, now i have 6+ accounts with different banks, emergency cash, I do not want it ever happening to me again.
