1. More time to think. An incoming F-14 is a minutes/seconds scenario; the Cuban crisis lasted 10 days.

2. "X did not happen" does not mean "Y was not a factor in X". The "about to get blown up" factor was part of the reason the Cuban missile crisis happened; it's also probably part of the resolution.
Yeah, as much as I hate it, modern cars turn more and more into computers on wheels. Or rather smartphone.

This is not correct. Yes, jail is people waiting for trial and usually convicted people with less than a year sentence. Prison is usually for people with a year or longer sentence. My state has a prison for younger drug offenders and other places for violent convicted criminals.
I was recently at Costco waiting for my tire to be repaired, and saw a canister of "plant based" protein in the returns cart. The customer's reason for return: "tasted like sand".

Proteins are composed of amino acids. Some amino acids are more important than others. Glycine is the simplest amino acid, and also has anti-stress properties. Other amino acids are excitatory.

The main protein sources for the latest round of "plant based" protein products are pea protein and brown rice protein. Soybeans were used decades ago, but fell out of fashion on account of soy's phytoestrogen load.

The process of separating seed protein from the starch is not incredibly complex. But someone said that seed protein is folded up for storage, and is not especially useful to our bodies anyways. Native Americans knew to boil their corn seeds in wood ash (alkaline material) - Nixtamalization - which I understands unfolds the proteins to make them more useful to humans. All corn tortillas are made with 'trace of lime', which means that corn has been properly boiled in a alkaline solution to be more edible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization

The most abundant amino acid in gelatin is glycine. Second-place is proline. I don't grok the biochemistry, but I think it reasonable to propose that glycine is a much more reasonable foundation for the body's protein sources than the excitatory amino acids. The richest amino acid in the plant based protein powders I've looked at is glutamic acid.

"[Glutamic acid is] the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamic_acid (emphasis added)

"Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina. When glycine receptors are activated, chloride enters the neuron via ionotropic receptors, causing an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP)." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine#As_a_neurotransmitter (emphasis added)

Dictionaries add definitions based on common usage, and in common usage, « xxx steak » can definitely refer to a plant based steak. If I say « soy steak », you definitely know what it refers to, and it’s not ambiguous with « steak » alone.

Same with coconut milk, would you be confused with cow milk with some coconut bits in it? No.
Which niches have migrated? The only people that use mastodon hate Twitter/Elon if you count that as a niche, there are no notable groups on mastodon.

If there ever was a Western Philosophical mind-disease then it would be the idea that you monorail your whole entire—absolutely all of it—personal philosophy by believing in one single thing.

- Do you like Buddhist mindfulness? Well then you must necessarily commit yourself to the idea that people should be happy doormats for other people and for their circumstances

- Do you believe that sociological factors are a thing? Well then you must necessarily think that poor people and other “poor people” have no agency and are only a victim of circumstances (conservative rebuke)

- Do you believe in Science (waves hands)? Well then you necessarily commit yourself to a certain kind of Determinism that me and a cackle^W gaggle of scientists (who aren’t philosophers) find to be Obvious

Doing biology while factoring in Free Will sounds nonsensical. So don’t do it. But what you do outside of biology (on your free time)? Well, that’s something different.

I think Chomsky said something like this about the Free Will debate: if Free Will isn’t real then debating it won’t matter, per definition. Unless you are fine with the discourse devolving into “I am making these moral arguments because I am compelled to by circumstance”, in which case everything you are saying is—by your own admission—vacuous.
And when your last line of defense fires... you don't just breath a sigh of relief that the system is robust. You also must dig in to how to catch it sooner in your previous lines.

For instance, test code shouldn't have access to production DB passwords. Maybe that means a slightly less convenient login for the dev to get to production, but it's worth it.
You can run these models on CPU but it would be much slower than the demo.

> there are NO stalks. turn signals are touch areas on the steering wheel. so are high beams, horn, wipers

I didn't realize how important wipers were till last winter. I was on a 2-lane road at highway speed going into a turn. There had been light snow the previous day which was thawed on the roads, so it was wet and muddy conditions. A truck in the oncoming lane either hit a puddle or otherwise deposited a large splash of muddy water on my windshield instantly, and due to the turn coming up I had to see where I was going. I had about 1 second to find the wipers (it was someone else's vehicle) or I would have gone off the road or into oncoming traffic. That's not the time to hastily search for the wiper button on a touch screen!
> EU law requires that consent is the genuine free will of the user.

Thus instantly began a circus of bad faith by countless companies.

Maybe it's time to just plain outlaw everything for which "cookie consent" UI make a show of getting consent. Doing a cookie consent UI would also be illegal.

Like (many places) prostitution is illegal, and soliciting it is illegal.

Completely agreed.

I'm only responding to point out that I never claimed or even implied that there's such a thing as an error handling magic bullet, just that I think that Go's approach to error handling has been oversold. It compares favorably with an "enterprisey" approach to exceptions, precisely because that method makes it so easy to hide the dead bodies. But I don't love that Go's (and C's) approach makes it so easy to implicitly suppress errors, because that's effectively the default behavior. In a language that forces you to check for errors, by contrast, it's harder to be lazy and sloppy without being explicitly lazy and sloppy, which then means that such behavior is more likely (not guaranteed - again, I'm not trying to claim a panacea - just more likely) to be noticed during code review.
>That's not necessarily true.

Sure, not necessarily but it is a common result and not a surprising one.

>Yet the market did not reward them and the shareholders are not particularly happy. While these pressuresfor public do exist at the end the incompetences of Unity's board and upper management are to blame.

Ultimately these moves end poorly for the business doing them. That's not in question. But shareholders are mad not because the move was made but because it didn't work as intended. Buying smaller companies to inflate your stock value short term while crippling the company with debt and bloat long term is an old tactic to maximize short term shareholder wealth so they can cash out and leave latecomers holding the bag. This lead to some famous company collapses when it backfired or when it drove less unethical executives to commit accounting fraud like Worldcom. But it doesn't always end up with such a spectacular implosion. Usually it just cripples the company and they get gobbled up by a competitor a few years later.

Its a common problem because the way the stock market works today doesn't necessarily align with its intended goals. The point was to let outside investors join in an enterprise they think was profitable and grow with it. But that's not the only way the game can be played. stock itself is a commodity and treated as such. I don't know how you fix that but doing so would go a long way to realigning incentives and preventing this kind of thing.
Singapore has significant central planning as part of its economy and also does some protectionism. It's also an important US proxy in the region. Not unlike South Korea in both respects.

I am fairly sure its from a generation which was very attached to their spouses. They probably met their wife/husband when they were 18-20, and In my opinion lot of these men above 75 were suffering from death of their spouse or a good friend that they spent 2/3rds of their life with. Men are more vulnerable to emotional loss at that age and they are probably less connected with kids while women may just be holding on for seeing their kids even after the husband has died.

That's one hell of an exception lol. The only exception being a blatant disregard for Palestinian sovereignty, and proof that Palestinians will never be left alone even if they'd stop fighting (which is mostly the case in the west bank, compared to Gaza) as Israel is clearly seeking their entire territory, if it is is an exception, still disproves your entire point.

"Much of the book is devoted to establishing that our behavior is determined in this sense, and thus not free. Sapolsky holds that this implies we cannot legitimately be held morally responsible for it."

Is it crazy to not believe that he actually believes this? It feels like a kind of purely academic position that you can only take and come to because you live in a world and a society that already holds people morally responsible for their actions. And through that has created an environment where a quirky academic can pose such a nonsensical thought as "neuroscience" with no real consequences because he is not involved in keeping the ship right.

Hi,

I hope you're all doing well. As an independent developer, I've been working on creating a software tool to solve a problem I face personally. I really appreciate all the ideas and feedback you've shared in our community.

As someone who spends a lot of time browsing the internet, whether it's for work projects, finding new recipes, or staying up-to-date with the latest technology and media news, I often come across websites or content that I want to save for later reference.

However, traditional bookmarking and content clipping methods have their limitations. Long lists of bookmarks make it difficult to find what I need, and storing clipped pages takes up a lot of space in my notes.

That's why I've developed a tool called Mark Kit. Its purpose is to make it quick and easy for you to save website links or content. It's not just an advanced bookmark manager, but also your content organizer.

To make content retrieval even more convenient, I'm planning to incorporate AI technology for content recognition. This means that even if you can't remember the specific details, you'll be able to quickly find previously saved websites or content using vague text descriptions.

I'm really curious to know if any of you have similar needs or if you have any better suggestions and methods?

Mark Kit is currently in development, and I would like to invite you to join our waitlist. Once the product is ready for beta testing, I'll make sure to notify you.

You can find more information about Mark Kit here: https://markkit.in/

Thank you all for your support!
Jesus you sound insufferable. People can have heroes you don’t agree with, it isn’t that complicated.
I played a ton of guitar in high school and UG was my go-to resource for a lot of stuff. I then stopped for a long time due to career, marriage, kids, etc, only to pick up the ol’ axe again this year. I dutifully opened up UG and was shocked at how horrible it was. Ok fine, I’ll download the damn app you dirty bastards. Oh, you mean I’m still accosted by all the dark patterns in the app too? I can only assume any PII given to them is sold quickly and efficiently.

FWIW, I have really enjoyed seeing what old artists have put out post-COVID. Seems like a big creativity boost. For example, I really hadn’t checked in on Joe Satriani in years. Nothing in his work had stood out to me in a long time. His 2022 “Elephants of Mars” though is just excellent. The opening track has a guitar entry at about two minutes in that you can’t help but scrunch your face and bang your head to.

Nice and incompetent is often harder to deal with though. If someone is a jerk and incompetent, the solution is easy. You just fire that person, documenting the reasons is usually pretty easy, and nobody remaining feels bad about it.

Nice and incompetent (assuming the person really is incompetent) is usually a lot harder. The business decision should be the same: fire them. But for most non-sociopaths, nobody wants to fire nice people, and their incompetence usually lingers much longer.

On the flip side you see much of the same dynamic. Everyone loves brilliant nice people, so you keep them around. When it comes to brilliant jerks, I've found that most of the time , if they really are brilliant, they can be coached to understand their jerkiness is an impediment to their business/career goals, and will at least acknowledge it and try to keep it under wraps. But if they don't, at this stage of my life I just don't think it's worth it. They can go be super successful somewhere else, but my life is too short to be around someone a considerable portion of the day who is just toxic.

I also think it's important to clarify what being "a jerk" means - there's a difference between being brash and short and being a toxic jerk. I mean, I think most people would classify Steve Jobs as a jerk by the dictionary definition, but he obviously wasn't a jerk that was toxic to the organization. On the contrary, he was a giant motivating force, and many people have said they did the best work of their lives working for him and are grateful for the opportunity.
Been investigating the genetics behind schizophrenia. Do you have a contact I could dm you?
I'm not sure about that. It can at least be slow.

I was... maybe not brilliant, but pretty good. I also was at least a borderline jerk - arrogant and not very nice. It took me at least a decade out of college to get better.

My wife and kids think I'm on the autism spectrum, though I have never been diagnosed. Whether or not it's true, "people" is a language that it took me a long time to learn.
Absolutely, I personally think of myself as a home robot person through and through :)

As for continued contribution, right now the plan is to help get the community on-boarded, and just keep building on the platform. As you can tell, the policy class is pretty bare-bones, the in-home navigation system needs work, and we aren’t taking ANY advantage of the recent generative AI boom. All of those need to change if we want a real robot butler :)

But that’s why we open source things, right? What’s a mountain for one team is a feather for the community.
I suspect a large portion is to escape a health crisis, such as terminal illness or impending dementia. Mixed with skyrocketing healthcare costs, this also might be a way to bow out to not leave your family indebted with crazy bills.

You misunderstood the issue, tracking is required for the free tier which is likely illegal in some areas. FB is allowed to use ads or no ads at different price points, but can’t add tracking automatically with ads.

It’s like selling dates. If you’re selling your time that’s fine, so a lunch dating experience is fine. However, if you bundle sex in with a ‘overnight experience’ that’s considered prostitution and illegal in many areas.
Resort to stockholm syndrome? No, abuse is never OK.
There is a crisis of people not having enough savings. That problem manifests more the older you get. That multiplies with how horrible US healthcare is if you're not well off, and the fact that you need more healthcare the older you get. That also multiplies with the problem of smaller/nonexistent close family/community groups that one could normally get help from. I imagine (though I have no studies to link) that this combination contributes significantly.

There are different kinds of intelligence, and they often don't correlate to each other. A brilliant coder can absolutely be an emotional infant. It will handicap their career, for sure, but doesn't entirely preclude their ability to solve certain kinds of problems.

Answered a similar question below. It's equally crazy to me that people wouldn't immediately understand the elderly having quality of life issues.

A few that came to mind:
-chronic pain
-immobility (walkers/wheelchairs etc)
-mental decline (senility)
-loneliness as you say (possibly addressed by mental decline but it's often cited as a major issue for the elderly)
-exponential medical costs

There's probably a lot of other reasons as well I'm sure. What a drag it is getting old.

I think that varies by the school and the student's track. I was taught many of those things in stuff like DARE, biology, and physiology classes in grades 5-12.
Yes that's exactly what happened in the west bank. Once they stopped fighting, they were left alone! Oh wait no, it just led to massive colonial projects backed by the Israeli government. Oopsie!

Agreed! Generating a bunch of new extremists in Gaza via 6,000 bombs (so far) and a land invasion that leaves a pile of rubble in its wake is not likely to accomplish this.

Another limitation here is that the model is regressive, so for example if a task was to pick up one bottle out of two and the demos showed 50/50 of picking up one than the other, the model would output the mean even though it is not meaningful.
Very nice hack! I did a very similar project integrating ChatGPT bot but using WhatsApp business account instead of fake facebook contact. I got my account blocked when Meta discovered I'm not a business unfortunately. I'll retake the project with the FB account, it seems much easier.

I don't see the alternative they propose? Pay up or don't use? They still need to pay their devs and the infrastructure (and make a profit, per current legislation and model).
I've been using boring tech for that:

* Python/Django framework (Django itself has 17+ years "on the road" - that's forever enough for me)
* Postgres as my main database
* Bootstrap as main UI (customized via Sass - not too fancy though)
* Unpoly (https://unpoly.com) for frontend and the SPA "feeling" of the app - absolutely no JS frameworks (React, Vue, etc.) - my SaaS product will be mainly CRUD operations, no fancy/dynamic stuff.

Change Django for Rails (or any other "magic" framework) and you're good to go.

If stable housing (and food) was separated from employment and your ability to fill out the correct forms on any specific timeline (i.e. it was just taken care of, clean and safe), what would be the remaining largest stressor?
The average American has hardly anything saved for retirement. So imagine living a spartan existence while your friends die off around you (if you even had many, men in the US largely don't), your body fails you in more and more ways every day. And it's not like you live in Manhattan and can go sit in central park and play chess or feed the birds with other people like yourself. You live in some rural area or lower tier city that is basically completely car dependent. There is no where to go, nothing to do, you are completely alone.

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
