> I tend to use media (games, chats, dating apps, social media, etc.) excessively (for 4-8h a day)

This statement alone could be enough to qualify your habit as an addiction, FYI. If you compulsively fill your free time with a behavior that you describe as “excessive”, then that’s a sign that this is not a healthy behavior.

Perhaps it’s more important to realize that something doesn’t need to fit the exact definition of “addiction” in a textbook for it to be an u healthy behavior.

> However, since I never miss them when I have better things to do, it never fits the definition of addiction.

This doesn’t actually disqualify you from addiction like you think.

For example, an alcoholic might drink excessively when they find themselves in a situation or location that triggers their excessive behavior (going to a bar, driving past a liquor store on their way home, attending a sports event that serves alcohol). Part of their treatment would include modifying their behavior to avoid those triggers. For you, the trigger could be as simple as having large amounts of unplanned free time.

> On the other hand, I also don't drink, smoke, or consumer caffein without a purpose, so maybe I just don't tend to get addicted.

I had a friend who was in the addiction treatment and recovery industry for a while. He said it was actually very common for people to end up in rehab because they believed themselves to be immune to addiction or to “not have an addictive personality”. This created an opening for a lot of denial and rationalization, which led to deeper and more protracted problems before they did something about it.

A common example is a functional alcoholic: They can go for years denying that their use of alcohol is a problem because they’re holding down a job and they may skip days of drinking under certain conditions (something better to do) without going into full on classic withdrawal. However, they still have a problem and still default to drinking excessively during bouts of idle time. Excessively is the key word in this situation, and it’s the key word in your own post.

To be honest, the fact that you described an undesirable habit as “excessive” with 8 hours of use per day and then two sentences later tried to rationalize yourself as someone who doesn’t get addicted would be a major red flag that this behavior is problematic. Addicts tend to go through phases of rationalizing away their problem before they accept it.

Our company has spend a lot of resources optimizing these kinds of queries in our application. It's been a bit of a struggle since we also use GraphQL, but we've been doing alright. Partial indexes and liberal use of jsonb have been doing a lot of heavy lifting for us. Our application is extremely read heavy, so the performance hit from updating lots of indexes hasn't been an issue for us (yet).

Ext4 is probably the worst filesystems for such task. 1e9 files is really not that much.

Old Reiserfs3 really excelled in this, Gentoo Portage had many tiny files. Today Btrfs has features like extends, where tiny (or empty) files are stored together in single inode.

For distributing image with several files(such as this example), SquashFs is the best option.

And I say that using Christianity as a get-out-of-jail-free card for any bigoted belief is wrong.

I never used the epithet "homophobe". I said "Using Brave helps put money into the clown's pocket. Money that could be used to, for example, to fund homophobic initiatives."

If that's anti-Christian, then you think Episcopals and millions of others are anti-Christian, which places you in the category of street preachers who insist their view of Christianity are the only true ones.

Is it only "homophobe" you are concerned about? Are there epithets you think we can use to attack a specific Christian for a specific belief?

Can we agree that it's okay to use the epithet "racist" about a Christian holding the religious belief that Blacks have the Curse of Cain on them, and that this curse justified their enslavement? Plenty of Christian Americans used to believe this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_and_mark_of_Cain#Baptist...

Christians disagree with each other about their beliefs all the freaking time, even to using epithets like "heretic", "blasphemer", "idol worshiper" and "antichrist" against other Christians.

Since you don't have answers to any of these issues, I don't think you've thought about the logic behind the argument you are trying to make.

My favourite story about that is when I knocked down a money transfer service for the entire country for a couple of hours.

Received a ticket to shutdown some servers, "Finally they decom'ed those blades. Should update them first so I could use them for the other things", send the blades to update through OA. 15 minutes later a call with borderline angry voice inquiring why the servers are down. I respond with "Probably because there is some fuckup" in businessese. In 15 minutes it became apparent what the ticket was to shutdown a no longer needed services with a very similar names by shutting down the VMs which hosted them.

The best part? The ticket for the shutdown shouldn't had been even routed to me in the first place, because VMs were handled by the other team.

The worst? You definitely don't want to interrupt the firmware update process.

I admire the passion, but it seems ominous, and some might even say underhanded; obviously it's not simply 'free' work, but a 'free trial' and marketing. But work for 'free' also pulls the rug from under competitors - they will also have to offer free work, if they can.

There really are very few ruby/rails jobs/contracts going at the moment.

But ominous because in the bigger picture, perhaps the next step after working for free, will be that you have to pay to indulge your passion on real projects. Like many other hobbies I guess.
Uncertain-T FAQ
Deflation is much more dangerous than inflation since people tend to postpone spending, awaiting even better prices which can lead to a vicious cycle. Hence the downplaying in the article? However, the demand for food and energy by households cannot deliberately be postponed and is therefore relatively stable. And at least the drop in food prices plus the seasonal effects seem to do a lot here. So there is hope that china gets back to inflation pretty soon.
I usually just spin up datasette (hi, simonw) for this, although this looks prettier in a “they just used bootstrap“ kinda way (not that I'm denigrating that… it made all our internal tools at work look really nice for years!).

datasette's origin story orients it towards readonly access, and it is strictly and overwhelmingly more powerful in that regard, due to the 139 and growing plugins. The 46 (according to the website) associated tools that datasette has should work equally well with any sqlite-related tooling.

Also, datasette's completely automatic faceting (if your data is sane-ish) is really nice.

Hmmm. They're both Python… maybe they should unite, Voltron style! :-)

Because they didn't. The Guardian lies, as always. The text says:

>The fake news anchor introduced unverified images that claimed to show Palestinians injured and killed from Israeli military operations in Gaza.

So they are "unverified" in that someone from The Guardian hasn't personally checked that they are images from Gaza, but they were NOT AI-generated.
The only thing that seems AI-generated is the anchorman, but that is of little importance.

I suppose I didn't (and still don't) understand why you singled out US and GB. Here's my take of the topic:

1. Wikipedia editions are not defined by region but by language, and the relationship between regions and languages is many-to-many. English is spoken (as a dominant language) in US/UK/CA/IE/AU/IN/... among others and German is spoken in DE/AT/CH/IT/... among others.

2. English is one of the language editions. The edition is special mainly in that it has the most diverse regional coverage.

3. All editions have an uneven regional coverage dependent of the speakers' distribution but also population density, literacy, social economics etc.

4. There is overlap between language editions so it's unclear whether given two their union would improve coverage and how.

5. Wikidata is the language-independent knowledge graph that includes the sum of the article metadata regarding all the Wikipedia editions (and more).

Now, a global map of Wikipedia articles in English is useful in its own right if you want to see what you can read in English. To improve the coverage, you would write articles about more topics in English.

However, if you wanted to see more dots on the map, you could base it on Wikidata to include all articles on all editions, or to include all Wikidata items even with no corresponding Wikipedia articles.

Whereas, if you wanted to see what you can read in German, you would need a map that includes the German articles and excludes the English articles.

And if you know multiple languages, you might want to see the union of those languages.

I start to think you may have in mind people who speak two languages: English and a regionally dominant language. If they wanted to see which articles they can read about the region, they could use a map of those two languages. If those two Wikipedia editions were significantly complementary, it would be a significant improvement in coverage for them.

Still, I'm unsure why to single out US/GB when there are other countries where English is the majority (or practically the only) language, there are other countries where the coverage in English is already fine, US/GB also have minority languages that could potentially improve their coverage etc.

I loved Stephen Wolfram's answer to that. He did a recent interview with Brian Greene and Brian asked him his take on the simulation question.

Who's operating the computers running such a simulation?"
I really enjoyed participating in Solene%'s Old Computer Challenge 2022: <https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-01-oldcomputerchalleng...>

I adjusted my rules a bit to make them fit into my setup (WFH, Homekit lights, etc), the main challenge being that rather than accounting for time spent online and trying to limit it to 1h, I just wouldn't go online at all (unless for work). It was a wonderful week, and even one week can start to make a long-term impact!

Another thing worth trying is to leave your phone at home, and attend to your "digital needs" from a smartwatch. The screen is too small and the input too quirky to be efficient at wasting attention, but you can still get directions, pay for stuff, reply to a message, etc. (I actually don't have mobile data on my watch so I need the phone to keep the watch online, but I'm mindful of when I'm in "no phone mode". You can also seize the opportunity and just go offline, without giving up on things such as checking the time or playing music.)
>then when I concisely looked at my phone I was thought “well there’s nothing to do here why did I pick it up?”

I think of this as a possibly universal psychological trick that can allow you to slowly adjust your behaviour.

I.e:

- To do less of something, think of how useless the impulse is when it happens. I.e. dull the impulse.

- (To do more of something, be on the lookout for and amplify any impulse that drives towards that behaviour.)

It seems kind of obvious but sometimes we amplify bad behaviour by punishing ourselves and end up amplifying the impulse.

This is just what happens when you're Google sized and ran by a CEO like Sundar. The lawyers take over and innovation becomes extremely hard because so many things need a dozen layers of approval.

The only reason Sundar cares about this at all is because LLM tech threatens the only thing he values at Google: search revenue.

New revenue streams are valued much, much less than PROTECTING existing revenue streams in companies like this. I've worked at several places like this that were very "dead" culturally but continued to print money.

At my current company I have been unable to rent additional A100s for months because every single provider doesn't pass our dozens of layers of security reviews, legal reviews, MSA reviews, etc. It's maddening.
Are you on 17.4 beta 2? If so I’ll have more questions.

People have been saying it's working for them in the EU: the Apple's detection is complex and seem to take into account different parameters, like the ios region, but also the origin country of the sim card used.

But note this behavior only occurs if you are in the EU and you are using 17.4 beta 1 or beta 2
Then why not pour water down the mine shaft and pump it back out? That seems a lot less complicated than transporting any kind of solid material up and down.

I guess I don't know what we mean by "hit" then. I tried to address it from cultural impact, box office earnings, and movie quality. On any one of those criteria I don't think it's been that long since Disney has had a hit. If a film needs to push "Frozen" numbers to be a hit, then I'll concede they haven't had one in years.
Sure.

We’ve also survived numerous ecological collapses, multiple world wars, the extinction of megafauna (and likely caused most of them), and have radically changed our environment and style of living from nomadic groups hunting and gathering across wide open wilderness, to mass agriculture and being mostly urbanized.

If something changes, that doesn’t mean we all die. It doesn’t mean it’s all good, but it doesn’t mean it’s all bad either.

We still don’t actually know what, if any, real difference we’re talking about here either. It’s not like we have a decent baseline data set.
