The question, "What evidence would change your mind?" is perfectly reasonable.

It's a proxy for "Does your response to this topic involve trapped-priors?" Most people aren't willing to reveal or acknowledge they have trapped-priors and so it jumps to the end of the conversation where they simply leave. It's saves my time discussing topics by avoiding interactions with close-minded people.
Hard to drink yourself into the hospital with wine? I know Europeans drink a ton but remarks like this really drive home the point. One bottle of wine is easy to drink and enough to get me vomiting. Two wouldn't be hard and is definitely in alcohol poisoning territory for people who aren't experienced alcoholics.

Anyway, I don't think America should emulate European drinking laws until it can be shown that Europeans drink less than Americans. The average German drinks 13.4 liters of pure alcohol a year, vs 9.8 liters for Americans (still too high): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_c...

But we know that in the medium term, growth is limited to cubic; and in the long term to quadratic. Building a society that depends on a few centuries or millenia of exponential growth is designing for failure when that asymptote is reached, and all the assumptions about future growth are violated.
There’s a reason your citations are nearly a decade old at best; the science has changed.

A 2021 meta-analysis showed that, “shame correlates negatively with self-esteem and is large effect size.” [0] So unless the goal of your shame is to actively harm the people involved, then no, shame is not an effective tool at behavior change, given the damage it causes.

You may be thinking of “guilt” rather than shame:

> In sum, shame and guilt refer to related but distinct negative “self-conscious” emotions. Although both are unpleasant, shame is the more painful self-focused emotion linked to hiding or escaping. Guilt, in contrast, focuses on the behavior and is linked to making amends. [1]

>terms of service agreement

Are those the documents, often dozens of pages of barely understandable legalese word salad, that we've conditioned nearly everyone to click past?

While I certainly agree that people share way too much data, I personally think hiding behind "it's in the terms of service agreement" is getting quite tired when they are designed in such a way that you are encouraged to skip past it, and they are worded in such a way that a lay-person doesn't have a chance of understanding what the ramifications of agreeing to the agreement is.

Not to mention that, quite often, you don't really have a choice in the matter if you want to have a relatively normal life (e.g. being forced to agree to the terms of service of some random service to submit an application to a job, and not having a job isn't an option).
No need, but thanks :)

Congrats and good luck! I hope that running the business won't be too much of a distraction for you from working on the project.

After reading your post, I was surprised to see that the Atuin website doesn't mention pricing anywhere for the hosted service. Please provide that info.

For Atuin itself, is there a way to annotate commands or sets of commands, like giving them descriptive names/titles instead of just searching by the command names themselves? There's plenty of commands that I use rarely that I likely wouldn't remember the actual name of without some more context info/personal notes.

P.S. It's great to see another Quartz notes user!
In my opinion we're protecting from LLM generated content all wrong.

A modest proposal:

(a) Put LLMs in the defensive role, give them the social media posts (for example) and let them determine whether to show the content

(b) Give the sliders/parameters to the user. If they don't want to see content that encourages harm to children (or whatever), have them turn on that slider/toggle

(c) Have the major platforms allow plugins to the content filtration controlled by the client side, so that users can subscribe to "Trusted Entities" to filter what they want. That can be a government, NGO, or a FOSS project, or whatever

(d) Have the major platforms open up _default_ parameterization and plugins to governments

This achieves the following:

(a) It encourages LLM technology rather than neutering it

(b) It gives the users the ability to control what they see online and not. It extends on existing parental control systems, so that parents can control what their children see until they become old enough to manage this themselves

(c) It gives persons the ability to outsource their filtration, either as a service or otherwise, to those they trust, however it gives them the ability to change this over time as their preferences change

(d) It gives governments the ability to set up their desired policies in a way that is reflected by the platforms at the same time it drives transparency about what these policies are because they are user facing

The biggest benefit is that its practical.

Objections that "in this proposal a person can get content that I/government doesn't want them to have" don't hold, because the same is true of all alternative proposals.

It's a proposal that works even when someone creates a "non-compliant" LLM that doesn't censor prompt output. Such systems already exist and will always exist, and already defeat the current strategy - which is "make existing LLMs less capable".

<lazy dev hat>That WOULD be nice! A standard way to do anything, no need for unnecessary reinventions of the wheel... progress would slow down a bit, sure, but that's OK, nobody can keep peace with this lightning-fast explosion anyway, and slow and steady is more sustainable than volatile bubbles everywhere anyway.

<open source hat on>Unfortunately, that'd also mean a closed ecosystem and we probably wouldn't have had the amateur dev boom that HTML/JS/CSS and its visible source gave us.

NVMe seems like overkill for a router of this level, but in practice getting M.2 drives is a lot easier/cheaper than eMMC. And while microSD can work, it doesn't have the reliability, write durability, and random IO of a 'real' drive.
This is like saying we can easily stop the obesity epidemic. The problem is pretty simple conceptually, but it's not going to be solved. The requirements for ignoring social media and practicing true impulse control lay outside of the bell curve of impulse control for much of humanity. People _could_ stop using social media, but they're not going to. Same reason why most people are fat. Yes, I know there are environmental factors, but all those do is squeeze a tighter box around the percentile of people who have the impulse control and resources to eat and exercise properly to maintain a good physique.
I have some local setup replicating what Atuin does, but I'm realizing I don't use it at all even though I thought it'd be useful, and I don't use my shell history much overall. I have an alias "aled" to edit my aliases quickly, so it's easy for me to add new ones, and that's where I put the commands I want to use regularly, or even the ones I'd like to be able to find if I ever need them again in years. It's easier to add documentation in a .zshrc than in a shell history in any case.

Global aliases (which you can use anywhere, not only at the beginning) are also nice to compose aliases with each other.

> I don't know. But it is interesting, and wildly segmenting, that everyone around me refers to these problems that 'we' have -- but I don't. I can't be alone in this feeling.

I think it is a "good thing" people use your "royal we" term in that at least people see phone addiction as a problem. It is usually always couched in the tone of "the problem is too far gone" which isn't a good thing.

I wonder what it would be like if an entire country picked one hour during one day, and everyone just somehow disabled data on their phones, calls only, with the idea being that you only make calls that are required, not to stymie boredom.
Wow I didn't know that grey/black-market dealers used blister packs in the EU. Unless you are implying that the bogus Vicodin he took was pharmacist provided, which is absolutely absurd. The US has a lot of problems, but the safety of legally-obtained medicine is not one of them.

I'll share my example. I bought a Brother DCP-L2540DW (networked, full-duplex B&W laser, scanning with ADF) in 2015 for ~$120 after tax. I've gone through one toner cartridge for ~$50, so total cost excluding electricity is ~$170 for me. I've printed ~3,700 pages so far, so average price per page for the printer has been ~$0.046. I get paper for ~$0.03/page, so total price all in was probably ~0.076/page. This will continue to go down, the printer's current drum life is still >8,000 pages and should last me at least several more years.

With ~100 pages/year that would have been ~900 pages so far. At 900 pages, that probably would have been fine with the included toner, so toner costs don't count. Assuming you turn it off when not printing so energy costs are negligible. That brings it to ~$0.16/page (with my ~$0.03/page paper) printed.

Printing at the FedEx shop is ~$0.23/page for B&W. The public library nearby has B&W printing for $0.15/page. So with ~100 pages/year its cheaper than a chain office shop but more than the library at this point. A few more years will shift that closer and eventually beat the library price.

I've just given up on the economics of photo printing at home. It seems to me you really need to print a lot of photos to compete with the ease of photo printing at most photo stores in the US. You'd need a really good photo printer to match most of the quality of online stores, so you'd need a pretty good printer with nice ink and paper. In-store pickup at a number of places usually means like an hour turn around or so.

Note though that overall my value for my printer is higher than just the printing. As mentioned, it is also a scanner I've scanned ~1,000 items with it.

While I understand your point. You've alluded to a greater issue—time management. Everyone has time. You make time for what is important. We all find time to watch TV, sit on our phones and go out. I do not believe a person is booked every single hour and minute of the day. It's a convenient excuse to justify making poor decisions.
Ditto on the fridge. Samsung one came with the house, it is the most awful piece of shit I've ever used.

The freezer door handle broke off. The ice maker encrusted itself in a ball of ice, which then got caught on the drawer when I opened it and tore the ice maker out. The rails on the freezer drawer are weak, so if it's completely full it sags and won't seal all the way. Everything inside thaws out.

The fridge occasionally won't maintain temp and I open it and stuff inside is basically room temp.

There isn't a single useful part of it that isn't fucked in some way or the other.

I genuinely can't believe they managed to screw up a refrigerator this bad. They aren't that complicated.

The handle breaking enrages me. Some moron decided to make the entire assembly out of metal, except the force-bearing part. Handlebar? Metal. Mechanism that the connector hangs onto? Metal. The actual connector that beats the force of opening the drawer? Couple of miles of plastic.

Whoever made that call needs a solid slap from one of those Icelandic giants

No, I don’t think I do.

Mostly because while dictatorships might have “strict laws”, they are typically left as vague and generally-applicable as possible, precisely so that they can be used in whichever way the dictator wants.

Also, those “laws” don’t matter anyway in a dictatorship, and “rules lawyering” we are talking about here wouldn’t apply there. More specifically, “rules lawyering” isn’t a thing in a dictatorship, just like they are not a thing in a kingdom[0]. Do you think someone would be able to lawyer up and win a case by finding a loophole in the laws, against someone in a dictatorship? I strongly doubt it.

Dictatorships are imo just kingdoms, but with the ruler not “chosen by divine powers” or having to be a descendant of the previous dictator in power, and with the whole pretense theater of a legal system that only “matters” until someone in power doesn’t get involved (and then it becomes purely about who has the higher rank within that structure of dicratorship). It is basically the same, but at least old school kingdoms (unlike dictatorships) weren’t acting pretense about it and often plainly and openly just went “yeah, i am a king, who is a descendant of that one king who was chosen by some divine powers, legally i can do whatever i want, and i will be in the right.”

0. Talking about an old type of a kingdom, not talking about something like modern day Kingdom of Sweden (which is still the current official name of the country).
Shouldn't the knowledge go into a wiki anyways? Reading old discussions in Reddit can turn up interesting things, but it's time consuming and bad information doesn't get fixed later.
overlapping genes show up all over the place and I think they contribute to lots of errors in papers. During my postdoc I analyzed the results from a yeast gene survey where the authors ignored genes overlapping and misannotated genes, imputing their function when really it was the overlapping gene. This is where I started to learn that "if it's in Nature, it's probably wrong"
I'm pretty sure something this complex came from a higher order being. That whole order from chaos argument is not holding water for me with this degree of complexity.

Just a guess, but I imagine it's the difference between "I'm ashamed I can't make enough money to save anything" vs. "I'm ashamed I blew all my savings on crypto". One is shame about your situation (which are likely to be out of your own desires and control too), the other is shame about your decision (which you likely had better control over).

Drive time radio is the most valuable segment there is - the audience is completely captive. This isn't Europe: Americans drive, most drivers do it at the same time each day.

SiriusXM was the Spotify of their day, needing to hire Howard Stern (Gen X's Joe Rogan) to boost subscriber numbers. For driving, plenty of people still listen to free over-the-air FM radio.

> Then there are also the downsides mentioned above (less convenient, no preview, not portable across search engines), so no, it's not a strict win, but an inferior alternative which is superior only in those cases where you can't setup something better

- less convenient: Addressed by my comment.

- no preview: I do not want preview, so this is a bonus. It's also orthogonal, since if the search bar was configured to preview, it could also display bang results.

- not portable across search engines: It already works on all non-terrible search engines because they standardized the bangs.
Nearly 1000 People Were Convicted of Stealing over Decades Due to Computer Bug
It was. And I agree that plays a part. But Desktops are, by nature, much less accessible. Even a laptop is.

Neither are you, I guess. Keynes also suggested running surpluses in times of growth to counteract it, but it seems policy makers didn't really get that half of it. That the results of "Keynesian" economic policy as practiced by politicians and actual Keynesian policy differ in outcome is about as obvious as the fact that alternating the gas and brakes in your car will have a different result than smashing the accelerator and never letting go.
I would love to see a future compiled programming language which would support some, or even all of the following compilation options:

1) Compile with "time travel" AKA point-in-time state memory enabled (and accept slower code execution).

2) Compile without "time travel", AKA standard compilation -- for much faster code execution.

3) Compile such that some, but not all sections of code will selectively save their exact state at points in time, and can be "time traveled" by a debugger -- but only for those sections of code explicitly marked.

4) Compile such that "time travel" could be selectively turned on or off (may require dynamic function recompilation at runtime) for any function or specific lines of code, as needed, during runtime!

Anyway, Mariposa looks like a step in the right direction -- and really cool!
Yeah, people complained fairly loudly about this back when it was implemented, but the Go team just completely ignored the problem.

At least they listened when people complained about the more recent "lets include telemetry in the tool chain" proposal and didn't implement that.

For Python to work in the browser via WebAssembly you'd need to have python itself compiled and running to execute python. It would consume a lot of energy and be much slower, I see no upsides. WebAssembly is meant to have lower level languages and programs run in the browser, not so Python devs do not have to learn a second language.

Plus Python is not suited for event driven systems.

I see the opposite: the DNA/RNA/protein mechanism is just a gigantic pile of self-interacting hacks — core "design constraints" being that the cell: (1) shouldn't die too quickly; and, (2) should be reasonably energy efficient (due to competition).

Here, let's do some math. let's treat a base pair as 2 bits of data (4 bases, 2 bits to encode a base). The average molecular weight of a DNA base pair is twice this, approximately 660 daltons (or 660 grams/mole).

So a gram of DNA is 1/660 moles, or 6.023 * 10 * 23 / 660, which means a gram of DNA is 9 * 10 * 20 base pairs, making 1.8 * 10 * 21 bits, which is around 900 exabytes which is very close to a factor of two from your estimate.
