Same, there is a difference between being an introvert and a misanthrope. Saying hello, a couple well-rehearsed words, thank you with half a smile is just enough day-in-day-out social interaction to keep me sane and recharge my tiny social energy stores. Maybe it's because in Europe where I live store clerks are supposed to put a little effort in being polite if not welcoming.

Interacting only with machines is the saddest thing I can imagine doing for myself.
I wonder if the placebo effect is actually hope.

I wouldn't be surprised if you felt better even before you took your first dose; I can imagine you started feeling better just having a prescription in hand.

>I was careful to point out that unfamiliarity with the new interface wasn't necessarily the same as it being bad, especially if with a little additional training and practice we could become more efficient and/or it aided in discoverability for newer users.

I mean I'd argue it would be bad even if this was true. A new design comes at the cost of all the accumulated muscle memory and skills in navigating the old interface. A miniscule increase in discoverability for new users is irrelevant because users spend a lot more time at the higher end of the learning curve when it comes to professional software. There is a reason why we don't create a new interface to control cars every 10 years.
I have never seen a box like this anywhere except in document storage closets in American movies.

Smart drugs reduce quality of effort, and slow decision-making
Have you attended those classes or just citing something you googled? Because they aren’t the same now as they were in the 50s or 90s. And those classes are like once a week now as academic classes are the main focus. This type of schooling still does not cater for kids who often excel in these classes but do poorly in general academics. But hey. Keep pushing those kids through the meat grinder!!!
Sorry for being such a newbie, but I never understood why HHKB was popular, and where it got its fame. I saw my roomate already having it 10 years ago, I find cool the minimalist aspect, but why such keyboard with basic design made it so far ?

Also, on a personal note, having a 65% keyboard now for 3 years, I'll go back to a 75% keyboard. I think functions keys and arrows are used way too frequently to spend your time using shortcuts. Also sometimes it becomes a hell of shortcuts in shortcuts.
I put a lot of though in this some time ago. So i made a python script, running on my server, that if something doesnt happen for at least 2 weeks automatic mails will go out to friends and family, each with some access to stuff they might be interested about and a final message.

I know this is a bit paranoic but its the best i can do. Also most of my passwords are on a kpdb file so with the master credentials someone could get all the access to everything (that would go to my VERY close family for example)
I just tried this and just got the letter B until it ran out of tokens.

Humanity, itself alone, made this decision. Its the same fundamental postulate that gives governments the 'right' to invade and destroy other governments' people - without the people involved making the decision, no rockets get built in the first place.

Permission? You only need permission because you also need help - from the rest of the people who make life, as it is on Earth for humankind, what it is.
I ignored the parts of me that like comfort and oh God I feel good for ages after physically (in a slightly shivery way) but also that I CAN do it way.

On a side note, I will take a cold shower after workouts and it extends my feeling of ‘magnificence’ and the ‘I worked out today’ sensations.
Just want to say this is one of my favorite websites.

What the author describes as being around people actually sounds like social isolation: yes, NYC is full of people but the way the author describes it, they're all strangers. This isn't alienating, this is alienated.

Humans have evolved to live in small to moderately sized groups with close relationships and shared activities across the group like communal child rearing, food procurement, games and rituals. This also hinges on being able to make an impact on your surroundings and maintaining use-based ownership.

Contrast this with living in a megacity: outside your (rented) apartment the closest thing you get to ownership is public property which effectively is owned by noone while all private property is owned by someone else who is most likely a faceless corporation or a complete stranger to you. You are constantly surrounded by people but you don't know any of them and most people you will likely encounter too infrequently to form any lasting relationships with. They're all strangers or outsiders with goals at best irrelevant and at worst contrary to your own but they're also similarly isolated from each other so they don't even form a "foreign tribe" you can try to assimilate into - apart from a vague notion of "acting like you belong" by following the shallow social norms.

What the author describes as solitude on the other hand is the individualistic rebellion against this: carving out "your own" space in one that is unclaimed (or at least not inhabited and actively guarded against your temporary use of it). The interaction he describes is a lot more intimate - not because he was nude but because he was interacting with discrete people, not faceless members of a crowd.

Of course as others have pointed out this isn't lasting and "actual solitude" is a very different beast and can be equally harmful and alienating. So the answer is a collectivist rebellion: finding a "tribe", looking for peer groups to form closer bonds with over shared interests or experiences. Often this is what motivates people to move into suburbia where they of course often still experience the same isolation as everyone retreats into their family home due to the lack of horizontally organized communal spaces.
> What does that mean to you?

There are 48 million cases for 350 million Americans a year. Experts say most involve factors at home, I.e. improperly stored leftovers involve both systems, but are attributable to the at home fault..

> The risk is hugely overblown in my opinion

Sure, only about 3000 Americans die a year of food poisoning and most of them will have had other contributing health factors..

I simply reject this idea that a person who thinks food safety is easy is doing food safety really well.

Restaurants have additional complications and risks of not knowing the health of their guests, etc, and having a high volume of food and therefore bacteria passing through. The average home cook scaling up their behaviors would be much more dangerous and doesn't recognize the indicators of mistakes that would kill one of those unlucky 3000 as a house guest.

> There's something weirdly unsatisfying about building a Raspberry Pi appliance that boots to Linux just to do a Thing, when it could just boot to the Thing.

Well, I think here the distinction between Linux the kernel and Linux the OS (may RMS forgive me) is important. I agree that booting a Linux OS to run a single application seems overkill and adds little other than maintenance burden and boot time. The Linux kernel however, particularly when stripped to the minimum needed, boots fast (<1s is possible), shields from the complications of the hardware which aren't of interest and allows some portability (even the various PI models are quite different under the hood). I'd think attempting to replace the Linux kernel just adds burden for little or no gain.
This is arguably what's so dangerous about a plugin ecosystem in general. On the one hand, you can quickly implement a bunch of useful new functionality at the drop of a hat, and that's obviously incredibly useful for non technical folks.

But at the same time, you then often end up dependency hell, and realise that any changes going forward will break something or another that your site depends on, leading to many, many sleepless nights. God help you if you're one of those folks who installed hundreds of plugins, because an upgrade often meant 'revert everything to default, then hope at least some of your plugins had equivalents for the next version'.

It's why I'd recommend anyone who can do so to only use their own code for a WordPress (or other CMS based) site, and keep the third party stuff to popular plugins you know will get regular updates.

Yes, but that's not the point in this case. Naively, a vector should be able to. The trouble lies within the details, in particular allocation.
Feel that it is also important to know when iterators/references to elements will be invalidated, in addition to knowing the complexities of the operations.
The mute button is a good thing. I've got it on my USB mic.

Except for that I don't get what problem this is going to solve to justify the price. All laptops have a builtin camera. Any good or bad one would do for a business call, especially between established partners that don't even need a video feed and possibly spend the call on a shared desktop. With friends, same thing. For anything else, turn on the light and it will be fine. If you have to make a call in low light conditions, that's OK: a good camera might help.
It’s not weird, just kinda ‘who is the me if I am telling my brain what to do and who is the brain if it will not do what I want?’ Way ;)

This article is such a stark contrast from the GraphCast AI weather model they released [1]. The latter focused so much on the tech and what it does do, whereas this article buries the tech in a bunch of fluff about what it could do.

Can you imagine if the GraphCast article were like that? "Revolutionizing the future of weather".

I'm sure this music thing is cool but I have no idea what was built.

Dreaming of the Ultimate Smarthome (Part 1)
I’ve been using jj for at least 12 months now. Generally, I’ve enjoyed it, but it can be a wee bit dangerous with its very easy historic amendments and its easy force pushes.
Sure we could all use more positive visions for the future, but...

The most immediate need we have to Taiwan is TSMC. Without them Nvidia, AMD and Apple are effectively dead, along with any car company, and a good deal of the products and services we use. A war with China would make 2008, 9/11 and the Internet bubble look, like tiny blips in terms of economic upheaval.

What bothers me most are three misconceptions about the ramifications of an invasion:

The first is that people don't recognize how important TSMC is, and how much its hardware powers.

The second is that people think US/European firms could just do the same. The skills, effort, time and money that TSMC has put in to be where they are is not easily replicated and we would happy if we could do it in 10 years, but that is doubtful.

The third is that China could just take over and run TSMC. You cant build chips in a warzone. And even if Chine would take over swiftly, and the infrastructure would be largely intact, each fab has thousands of employees, and all it takes for one of them to sabotage a fab is to cough in the wrong place, and it may never run again, and it would need to be abandoned. You do not need to smuggle in a bomb to disrupt a fab. Even if they did keep some fabs running, they wouldn't sell the output to the west.

On the upside, I get the feeling someone in the know has given the right presentation at the white house, because Biden looks like he understands this and takes this seriously, unlike many others.
In some places, they confiscate their car.

i worked on a chatbot using a service corollary to openai's api around the time when transformer's paper was published.

i still don't see the value in using chatgpt.

there was an instance where something i wanted to find online was hard but i could get a semi-usable answer from their 3.5 model. but after understanding how they iterate the model over time, it probably took someone more knowledable on the topic to have a similar conversation with their service.

this is a major red flag for me in terms of privacy.

the same people prefering stackoverflow over rtfm will gravitate towards this way, and more power to them. i am happy to be considered ignorant in the meanwhile.
> Some Cold War era fighter engines were able to run diesel for a while, tge reasoning was to allow quick re-location of the aircraft to safety. They needed basically a full rebuild if run on diesel for too long.

Interesting, haven't heard of that. But yes, I can imagine with diesel containing heavier hydrocarbons than kerosene, there could be a buildup of soot deposits on the hot parts of the engine. Might also be some certification issue, that if you operate with out-of-spec fuel then you need to overhaul the engine before it's considered flight worthy again (even if there might be no problem with the engine per se).

Then again, don't these naval ships with gas turbine engines run on something like standard light marine diesel oil?

> And all multi-fuel engines the military tried, e.g. in the Chieftain (if memory serves well), were rather underwhelming and ran mostly on diesel anyway.

The Chieftain engine was designed to be "truly" multi-fuel, being in principle capable of running on both diesel, petrol, and anything in between like kerosene.

If you limit the multi-fuelness to diesel and the current day narrow cut kerosenes that are used as jet fuel, it's a much simpler problem.

E.g. Western military diesel vehicles tend to be specced to run on diesel or JP-8 (the military variant of standard Jet A-1 jet fuel, with a few additives). And aviation diesel engines used in some GA aircraft tend to be certified for Jet A-1 (and they are often modified versions of standard automotive diesel engines).

I find music distracting when I work because I listen to it too actively, but I can imagine that a subtle regular pulse or beat might help. It would beed to be quiet and plain enough that it would not dominate my attention.
What a noble move.

How much better might the world be had Ford done the same and not endangered the employment of individual manual auto workers with his assembly line, or Gutenberg been more mindful of those poor calligraphers who worked tirelessly for centuries in preserving the books he would otherwise have never been able to print.

The idea that progress is perhaps more important to society's overall health than the preservation of the status quo is such a horrid idea and I mourn the many chiselers who lost their jobs to bronze smithing.

Also, maybe with Neuralink we can finally identify exactly what copyrighted works inform human creativity such that we can properly charge licensing and residuals for such usage.

At least then we might see advancing technology used for something good.
The part about your mind being frozen in time is a lot to take in. It is reflected in concept by spreading your wings and letting the wind alone do the work of flight.

This defines a transcendence of mortal concerns and ascending to eternity so it doesn't need to treat a baby and a bomb in a city differently. When we attempt to find peace with AI this is qn appropriate universe of discourse.
I'm starting to understand that the internet is mostly just people arguing over subjective things.
Being critical regardless of age is very valuable. There's this thing that if a young person does something pretty damn cool, they're made to believe it's extraordanirily good, rivalling even the best in the industry. I think it's called the "Gifted Kid Problem" in certain circles.

It happened to me with programming games; I entered competitions and even won one or two, making me believe I'm just SO good.

Now that I'm 30+ years old I still crave that same level of recognition which is basically unobtainable for me now as I'm just another cog in the system. Sure, I have some nice projects here and there and I get a compliment out of that some time, but never on the level I received while I was young.

I think it's incredibly important to give people advice on what could be improved, while still being respectful / praising of the work that's already done. That's how, in my opinion, you get a balanced individual.
But doesn't the human mind make a lot of things up too, just to compensate for the gaps?

Like if I tell you: "I have a box, I place 3 balls in it and remove 1, how many balls are left". You have to assume that the box was empty before, that I want to know how many balls are left in the box, not on the side, that the box isn't leaking, etc. This is you making up facts that weren't present in the question.

Not even strictly DOD, this trivial principle produces better semantics and drives better code separation down the line.

Several years ago I was exposed to DOD (and then this principle) when working on complex JS/TS-based for long-running systems. It results in better code navigability, accurate semantic synthesis, and easier subsequent refactors.

The side effect: some people remarked that the code looked like C
Replace "Transforming" with "Disrupting" and the story feels more real. Frankly, I love music. That is why I'd prefer if Google did not mingle in this bussiness.

Maybe "landing page" wasn't the correct term here.

> I would really like to see examples of this.

I almost struggle to come up with a non-example for this for any profitable tech company.

Look at the sitemap of e.g. Solarwinds[0] or Hashicorp[1]. Both have thousands of sub-pages with different marketing copy as content to capture as much organic traffic as possible and to convert paid traffic as good as possible. That marketing copy doesn't write and update itself (or at least it hasn't until recently).

If you look on most job boards you will also find many positions that contain "SEO" in their title. While some of them are more rosy "SEO management" positions, if you squint a little bit, you'll see that in practice those people spend a good chunk of their day in their CMS (likely WP) to create new pages and updating existing pages based on conversion tracking data. That also usually doesn't have a lot to do with "incompetence", as that process is rarely something where you can one-shot the right solution. More realistically you'll just have to try out a lot and see what sticks (both with search engines and people).
