I have to agree with jebarker, you have to start with the realization that there is no meaning to life. We just grew here.

The reason this first step is so hard for so many people, is due to a major lack of perspective. We scope our lives within the framework of human social interaction. We completely ignore the physical reality of our life: the astronomical improbability of our existence as a semi-self aware life form.

This search for purpose really does seem to be something that happens in people's 30s. In that era (over 30 years ago for me!) I also went through it. I eventually created my own framework (hey, we're all engineers here, right?) that I called probablism.

I did a back of the napkin estimate to the total mass of the earth/solar system/universe, and then compared this to the total mass of all life on earth/all "higher" life forms/all humans. I inferred from this ratio the probability of being a sentient being, as opposed to inanimate matter.

The ratio is, literally, astronomical! If I remember correctly, something like 1 in 10^^50! This is how outrageously lucky we are to even be here talking with each other! We're SO much more likely to be part of a cloud of interstellar hydrogen 8-) But then ask yourself, how often do I consider this incredible good fortune when considering my outlook on life?

Instead of focusing on just how lucky we are to be here at all, we spend our days worrying about how we compare to other people! We worry about social position, wealth, influence. It's a total failure of perspective!

The older I've become, the more obvious this failure was to me, and the more I've appreciated just having a chance to be alive.

Enjoy life son! We're only here for brief moment, and we should appreciate just how lucky we are to have that moment.
honestly I'd just like to pay less in taxes to the federal government. Nearly all of it is being wasted or funding 1%'ers lifestyles.

I couldn't possibly care less about a handful of millionaires or billionaires and what they're doing.
I wonder how much open source software sits under what’s required to create this post, and that powers Bloomberg. I also wonder how much Bloomberg pays open source projects.

I got a paywall though so I can’t read the article. I guess there’s some irony there.
They are not optimized for what you enjoy, or even want.

A passable analogy: you buy a car and get hassled, often hard-sold for a pre-paid maintenance package, tire insurance, financing insurance, undercoating, bla bla. You don't want any of it but it's what they push the hardest.
You can imagine factors other than his personality, but they're all equally as speculative. Additional rules to the game, for example.
Death of an Airliner
(N) sets the NULL_GLOB option for that pattern:

% print doesnt-exist*
zsh: no matches found: doesnt-exist*
% print doesnt-exist*(N)
(doesn't print anything, pattern is just ignored)

([n]) is array indexing to get entry n; -1 gets the last entry:

% print a*
a-1 a-2 a-3
% print a*([-1])
a-3
% print a*([1])
a-1

Globbing is automatically sorted by name.

So putting that together, things like this:

~/.local/share/gem/ruby/*/bin(N[-1]) # Ruby

will use the latest Ruby version in ~/.local/share/gem/ruby, and it won't error out if it doesn't exist (so I can freely copy this around even to machines without Ruby, or remove Ruby, etc).
It might not be rules. It might be something deep and squishy like "intelligence" or "aesthetics".
This entire story is just so heart warming and I don't know if the title/discussions right now are doing it justice.

1. The fact that this donation is 100% going towards tuition. My university has a few B's in endowment, but those money are most definitely not going towards making the tuition fees lower lol. Hopefully this will allow them to select some candidate that are struggling the most financially...

2. The donor being a 93 year old doctor/alumni of that school that studied "learning disabilities and developed screening protocols".

3. The money was from her late husband's "whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock". And before he passed, he told her to "do whatever you think is right with it" and the article ends with her saying "I hope he's smiling and not frowning". Makes me cry a little.

Tony Benn?

Wealth should never be an issue when writing about the rights of the others. The working class are too tired and distracted to spend the time to muse about their situation, who better then than someone who at least has the luxury to notice them and codify their plight?

If you're poor and you complain about the plight of the poor, people label you as bitter. If you're rich and you complain about the plight of poor, people label you as out of touch. Can't win.

That may be your point, but not the point to which this thread started.
Why is insurance just a flat rate? Shouldn’t it be per procedure or something else better correlated to risk?

(Sure, charging precisely for risk would just result in some patients/scenarios being avoided, but per case or a percentage of billing would make much more sense).
They release enzymes necessary for the spice/acid production. The acid counteracts those enzymes.

If you cut open peppers, you can see the black veins which were bit by bugs, those are the ones containing the carbon acid.

A better way to protect them against virusses but not against bugs that won't harm them is by combining the top of peppers with the root of potatoes, and by using moss to heal the cuts where you combined them (e.g. with a toothpick)

Of course that won't work on an industrial scale, hence them favoring pesticides.
On-package memory is coming to x86 laptop CPU's, it's a question of when rather than if, IMO. Apple MacBooks are killing x86 laptops, and a large part of the reason is the on-package memory. I'm sure Dell et al are screaming at Intel and AMD asking for competitive chips.

You're right that they likely won't make 2 different dies. Desktop AM5 chips will just get a package with some of the memory controller pins unconnected. The big question is whether they'll also package the full width laptop chip with on-package memory in a package for desktop that's incompatible with AM5.

If they don't, somebody is going to solder that monster laptop chip into an ITX motherboard. People will grumble about a motherboard that can't upgrade either the CPU or the memory, but if the performance is there they'll still buy it.
Oh, for sure - I'm not saying don't do anything about it. I'm just saying you should have been treating all information online like this anyway.

The lesson from Gell-Mann is that you should bring the same level of skepticism to bear on any source of information that you would on an article where you have expertise and can identify bad information, sloppy thinking, or other significant problems you're particularly qualified to spot.

The mistake was ever not using "Trust but verify" as the default mode. AI is just scaling the problem up, but then again, millions of bots online and troll farms aren't exactly new, either.

So yes, don't let AI off the hook, but also, if AI is used to good purposes, with repeatable positive results, then don't dismiss something merely because AI is being used. AI being involved in the pipeline isn't a good proxy for quality or authenticity, and AI is only going to get better than it is now.

An LLM that which contains all of the knowledge of the internet could absolutely answer that question. Don't know why so many of you choose to be dishonest about why they are defending this LLM. Just admit your political orientation and that you're going to defend it no matter what. "I'm left leaning and I see nothing wrong with this LLM. I don't understand what the big deal is" rather than making disingenuous arguments that insult everyone's intelligence.
As someone that loves hot sauce, including fermenting my own, it's unfortunate that it does actually require growing your own if you want a lot of heat along with flavor. Using capsaicin extracts will give you heat, but often little flavor (or no flavor if you go hot enough).
Generative AI – A Review
Not logical. It doesn't follow from the assumption that the host would not pose the question "Hey, here's the car, wanna switch?" that the contestant would automatically lose. You could just as well speculate that if the host opened the door to the car the contestant would automatically win the car.

Sure thing!

Under the hood, we define infrastructure using Terraform to explicitly define logical relationships between resources, easily enforce deny by default behavior, and spin up resources with granular access logging by default. We then expose a subset of toggles that users can adjust (compute resources, service connections, silo’d application deployment). Some toggles that may have a business need, but would prove to carry excess risk (such as blanket public exposure of data store’s), are explicitly disallowed. This is a decision that we’ve made and feel offers the ideal balance between flexibility and compliance enforcement.

The spice is an evolved defense mechanism, so if it's not needed, the peppers eventually stop producing it. Couple that with us intentionally selecting for things other than spice, and within a few generations you have a less spicy pepper.

Note I'm not any kind of qualified to talk on this topic. I'm sure someone can give a better & more accurate answer!
Not all natural persons can vote. Despite what Trump says, green card holders are disallowed such.

The trouble, I think, is that some people want to keep corporations, but to somehow keep a leash on them so that they're only weaponized against their enemies. If you truly hated corporate personhood, instead, you might start talking about how corporations shouldn't be allowed in any circumstances. You can't keep a leash on them. They're effectively immortal, enormously rich beyond even billionaires, and have agendas. Like, I'm not exaggerating... they have agendas, and can play a long game. You'll never politically neutralize them as long as they exist, and unneutralized they will just continue to chip away until they've got their legal personhood back.

Silicon Valley's Hiring Paradox
When Hyper-Growth Meets Hyper-Ghosting: A Tale of Silicon Valley’s Hiring Paradox
You are claiming that a tram is a bad car. It was designed in that way for a reason and you can't (or don't want to) understand it because you like a car so much. Whenever I say a vehicle, you misinterpret it as a car. Of course it would make a bad car, like your analogy. That's enough puzzlement for me as well.
Here in germany, there is a company producing milk, which expects 1.60€ per liter of milk. Regional, but non-"bio"¹.

On the other hand, there is a no-name brand, which delivers "bio" milk¹, for 1.05€ per liter.

During the high-inflation period, the regional "non-bio" milk was significantly less stocked than the "bio" milk.

This has turned around by now, the "non-bio" milk is quite obviously hard to sell (i.e. tags with "30% off due to expiry date" on it), while the "bio" milk is out of stock.

¹ "bio" is regulated quite strictly, cows must have quite a few m² to roam around freely in the open, amongst others
> you can't actually turn an iPhone off

I don't know about iPhone, but my Galaxy S21 doesn't turn off when you hold the power button, you need to pull down the notification area 2x (for the more detailed buttons) and turn off from there. There is an option for changing power button back to showing the power menu, but it wasn't the default (and writing this made me look for it and change it, should kinda tell you how often I actually need it...).
Less spicy is actually good. I prefer more flavorful chiles, with less spice. Mark Miller's conversation with Tyler Cowen is good on this subject: https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/mark-miller/.

Chiles are actually fruits and, combined judiciously, create a lot of complex flavors. Excess spiciness overwhelms the flavor. And people who want absurdly spicy peppers, can get them: ghost chiles, carolina reapers, and so on.

"Flavor > heat" in other words.
General point about comfort noted, but they don't do the same thing.

We try! We also accept PRs and Issues if there are things bugging people, of course. It's always a balancing act between building some new feature that people are clamoring for, or fixing those cosmetic issues that always crop up.
There are some important caveats to consider: Client and server software will not handle URLs like secrets, so UUIDs will leak out through various channels. Some examples include logs, user analytics, ad networks, browser history, bookmarks, e-mail, instant messages, shady browsers, shady ISPs, referrer headers, etc. You cannot rotate resource identifiers without breaking clients, so a leaked URL is permanently leaked.

Hopefully you're using version 4 UUIDs. Those set aside 6 bits to encode UUID details, keeping 122 bits of entropy. Since every banana needs its own identifier, subtract the number of bits needed to uniquely represent bananas. What's left will unavoidably be less guess-resistant than client secrets. Other versions of UUID use many more bits for low-entropy purposes.
That’s a shame—we cannot allow a handful of companies and VCs to capture most of the value of AI, especially if it actually starts replacing human jobs, it’ll just accelerate wealth inequality and social unrest.
Maybe you assume their sophistication is incomprehensible?
I just use serranos now, they are usually hot, add more as needed.
I thought the same, but it's supposed to be from the pith. I just think that since the seeds grow off the pith, you get some of that pith with the seeds. I've also felt the horror and pain of using the restroom hours after dealing with peppers, not realizing the mistake that I had made. Never again though, that was a teaching moment for life!
This is why I can actually Jalapeño now!

Also, Brussel Sprouts still taste like gym socks or bad cabbage to me.
Boomer here. In my twenties I had to return home and live my parents to save enough money to go to school. Highly suggest that grouping people by their generation and making blanket statements about them should be avoided. This is something done quite frequently by my own generation and is a mistake you should not repeat.
Yes, it is similar skill and effort for an np who got a one year online degree that took 15th/wk of studying and a doctor who spent 80hrs per week of studying for 4 years to complete med school, then did 4-7 years of 80-100hrs per week of intense residency.

A specific type of pepper. There are many other peppers with more heat and variability.

But I'd argue peppers are the easiest non-herb vegetable/fruit to grow, so it's a fair suggestion.

> but the assertion that raising and slaughtering your own animals is evil relies on the unproven assertion that animal deaths are inherently wrong even after a good life.
Anyone who ever owned a pet, or witnessed young foals or calves actually growing up naturally, will have noticed these animals to dream, to be joyful, frustrated, gleeful, or moody. They play, they enjoy learning stuff and have personalities - in short, they are sentient beings with a subjective experience, even if that experience is very different from ours - there is no way to know.

We do not let people kill elderly humans, even if they lived a good life. What is the fundamental difference between a human and an animal, if both experience their existence, both can suffer, and both really want to stay alive?

Congratulations on Launch! Would you be plan to expand to Salesforce platform ? I am Salesforce partner would love to connect if you looking for implementation partners.
Which is why Scrum in particular is express about being "purposely incomplete." It's intended to leave wiggle room for people to adapt it to their context.

Unfortunately mediocre people and mediocre organizations take this as a license to fill the gaps with inane bullshit and call it "Scrum" or "Agile," instead of mindfully determining what makes sense in their context.

The implementation of those other regulations is a reason to be against this. Platforms are usually very heavy-handed with moderation of those. Look at how people are on their tiptoes on YouTube and TikTok. Content creators straight up refuse to use common words because it might trigger an algorithm. And that isn't even due to government regulation.
I make salsa once a month and have noticed this the last couple years. Occasionally get a spicy batch, but more often am adding habaneros to bring up the heat.

I made a verde for the Super Bowl a couple weeks ago and tried to keep it mild since I didn't know everyone's preferences. Even after 3 jalapenos in a small batch of salsa, it had almost zero spice (commented on by party goers - still tasty though).

Last week on the show Chrissy and Dave Dine Out, the chef of an Ethiopian restaurant in LA commented how she quit using jalapenos because they're not spicy anymore and opts for serranos in her dishes instead.

Anyway, I kept thinking I was getting weak batches/unlukcy in my jalapeno selection, but I guess I need to start going for serranos.
Does the US let you forego capital gains taxes on unrealized gains when you donate stock, along with whatever benefit you get from donating money?

Tim Westcott is a great author and this is a solid article.

I'll add, I've been meaning to write up my own "realities of PID", one day I'll get around to it.

What is NOT readily apparent when you look all these treatments of PIDs is what happens with the poles-zeros of your control-loop (PID) and the interplay with the system or plant.

I have consistenly found all these "it's so simple, integrator removes long-term error, differentiation improves response time" ignores the fact that if you don't pay attentions to the poles-zeros of your overall response you get some very puzzling results.

In a nutshell, understanding the s-domain (Bode) view of your plant and control-loop means you can usually use PID to sovle control-loop problems. But most people don't have a model of their plant (like some of the examples DannyBee has listed) which means you can't easily auto-tune a PID or most control-loops.

Examining the step-response is probably the first clue to your plant, assuming you won't physically break something with that stimulus...

Are the incentives "bad", really? It seems like they are getting less spicy because that is what most people want. There seems to be an assumption that because Big Jalapeño are changing the flavour it must be for the worse. Personally I prefer spicier peppers but I am definitely an outlier amongst my friends at least.

I don't know that we need countermeasures, as such. I think it's fine to have a very common, affordable product that is predictable and palatable to the masses alongside other more niche variants which are popular with "enthusiasts" (and therefore might be less widely available and more expensive).

That's kind of how it is with coffee. Most people get theirs from Starbucks or some other big chain. I hate that stuff but they clearly like it, and I don't begrudge them it. As long as I am able to get my fruity single-origin light roasts.

I guess maybe you don't have those niches in jalapeños (I don't know where I would go to get a spicier jalapeño) but as you mention, there are other peppers we can look to if spice is what we want.
I'm not as familiar with the names of these things as I ought to be, but isn't FIRE basically the philosophy your post described? "Doing everything right" involves taking on a lot of expensive responsibilities: outrageous student loans, a big mortgage, dependents. But you can just... say no, to many of those things, and stick your money in an index fund instead.
