Challenges with emotional regulation was my first thought.

I imagine children who grow up in stable environments can better regulate their mood as they can return to a caring parent who will soothe them when they're emotionally dysregulated, compared to those in instable environments.

This might lead to the highs being higher and the lows being lower, a stretching of the bell curve.
There's lots of these projects already, such as https://neocities.org/browse

And even people with weird myspace style social networking sites like https://spacehey.com/browse

Then there's telegram and discord, full of all kinds of strange stuff.

They're just not mainstream. Probably better that way.

Me too. Following the links, it seems it's an open source design [0] that's available as a fully populated PCB from the Netherlands for €30 [1].

The only other hardware requirement afaict is room & outdoor temperature sensors (for the Home Assistant component). But you probably have to be willing and able to wire it up yourself, or else ask around and maybe with a bit of luck find a willing plumber - I don't expect most would touch it.

That seems plausible. I wasn’t deeply involved in the investigation, but the silicon vendor supports the cosmic ray hypothesis.

Interesting. I'm assuming Apple is doing some sort of A/B test then, and WebGPU must be enabled for some people but not others. huh.
But this is not "sandboxed" in any conventional understanding of the term. "sandboxed" would mean that the binary has restricted access to resources like the filesystem, the network etc.
I have the impression that we are observers suddenly thrust into the dream and we, like a detective, must piece together the puzzle. This allows everyone to walk away with a different view which is a far cry from linear plots where everything is wrapped up, concluded - roll credits. Lynch makes you think about his work after they conclude.

I know some people who hate his works for this reason. They want a neatly packaged story that doesn't require them to think.
that's actually a great idea, will think about this and create something
Dumping everything you have onto the kitchen counter is also very natural. It just doesn’t remain effective for long. The cabinets are a pretty darn useful invention. Don’t mix work surface with storage.
This looks closer then anything I've seen so far, thanks!

From what I can discern its missing important bits of the controller and doesn't have any steaminput profile etc so it's clunky still.

Worth poking at though.

edit - to clarify, ideally steaminput would be tricked on the host to think that it "was" a steamdeck so all the mapping features would be available. I don't really need another usb game controller its more the steamdeck touchpad etc.
Why is it possible for it to be off at all?

I'm not sure what you mean by political rhetoric. Are you saying calling it a subsidy would be misleading (?) because it was given on a condition? That seems a bid odd because subsidies often comes with conditions attached.

maybe that's due to difference in culture/region, but i'm unaware where i've attacked him personally. i've just pointed out that what he's saying is to be expected by someone without experience/knowledge "in the field".
I follow this space closely and I never saw the 1950 teleoperation video which literally blows my mind that people had this working in 1950. Now you just need to connect that to a transformer / diffusion and it will be able to perform that task autonomously maybe 80% of the time with 200+ demonstrations and close to 100% of the time with 1000+ demonstrations.

Aloha was not new, but it’s still good work because robotics researchers were not focused on this form of data collection. The issue was most people went into the simulation rabbit hole where they had to solve sim-to-real.

Others went into the VR handset and hand tracking idea, where you never got super precise manipulations and so any robots trained on that always showed choppy movement.

Others including OpenAI decided to go full reinforcement learning foregoing human demonstrations which had some decent results but after 6 months of RL on an arm farm led by Google and Sergey Levine, the results were underwhelming to say the least.

So yes it’s not like Aloha invented teleoperation, they demonstrated that using this mode of teleoperation you could collect a lot of data that can train autonomous robot policies easily and beat other methods which I think is a great contribution!

> someone who only produces $7 of value is no longer employable

This is the wrong model. You're using a worker's wage to describe their productivity, and a big reason for the mess we're in is that wages stopped increasing with productivity fifty years ago. (search "wages productivity graph")

> …but in the end the pandemic ended just as expected, ie a super-contagious and much less lethal strain infected everybody. This is how the black plague probably ended, reading accounts from the time. Even if they didn't know anything about viruses then.

There was never any question that in the long term general immunity wouldn’t cause the strains to become less virulent, it was always a question of how many people would die or get very sick before we got there. The Black Death killed a third of Europes population so im happy we know more about viruses now than they did then.
It was obvious sardonicism. Sardonicism is often humorous. The point was to mock those who criticize private companies but not government institutions. An underlying point was that they should be treated equally but aren't.

The license matters less than copyright ownership. Prior to the license change, MongoDB insisted on copyright transfers. Every line of code was owned by them. That's why they were able to re-license it. Elastic, which used to use the Apache 2.0 license, did the same thing: they insisted on copyright transfers as well.

Other people that didn't own the copyright to any mongodb source code of course had the right to take the source code and fork it under the AGPL. But there would have been no choice about the license under which to distribute that fork because of how strict AGPL is. By insisting on copyright transfers, Mongodb was able to dodge that and re-license the entire code base without having to require permission from anyone because they owned all of it.

For the same reason, there never was much of a community of contributors outside of Mongo. Most large companies would have steered clear of that legal mess and declined to contribute or fork. The flip side of course is that this strong ownership marginalized mongodb as a community even before the license change. It simply didn't matter much to most large companies as they would have steered clear of it anyway.

With Redis, this is not the case. Redis the company was an active contributor to the code base but most of the contributions actually came from the outside and they never owned the copyright to those contributions. The BSD license allows anyone (including Redis Inc.) to redistribute the code under whatever license. Which is why Redis can do this. But for the same reason everybody else can continue as is using Valkey without having to worry much about Redis the company having retired from what otherwise is a thriving OSS community.
Uhh, I guess you can do that if you want to sell out? Lol
Thanks! SAT (Smart Autotune Thermostat) is a free integration you can add to Home Assistant, which can work with your existing thermostat but the intention is that it replaces it altogether (SAT becomes your virtual thermostat). There are many more features but it's best to head to https://github.com/Alexwijn/SAT for details.

OpenTherm is a standard communications protocol which SAT uses, however, you need this hardware:

https://www.nodo-shop.nl/en/featured/211-opentherm-gateway.h... - board

https://www.nodo-shop.nl/en/our-products/213-wemos-d1-mini.h... - WEMOS D1 MINI

https://www.nodo-shop.nl/en/solder-service/202-soldering-ser... - soldering service

It costs €29.50 + €6.25 + €7.50 soldering service + delivery , so that it comes as a ready kit for you.

You also need an indoor temperature sensor. You can get a zigbee device, such as - https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ12LM.html

For outdoor temperature, Home Assistant will cover that out of box.

The installation is usually very simple, you connect two cables to the boiler and its OpenTherm module in the boiler and then it uses MQTT to connect to Home Assistant via WiFi. If you are not comfortable touching the boiler, ask your plumber to help you.

By the way, that hardware is much cheaper than Hive which does not support OpenTherm at all. Google Nest does but is so extremely limited, and from my experience, it was cycling too often and did not autotune which is the main reason why you want SAT.

If you check the manufacturer of your boiler and its model, you should be able to find out if your boiler supports OpenTherm.

This is new build~ (2017) and the heat recovery system was installed when it was built but we are not the first owners of the house and personally, I would probably not try to retrofit such system.
Upgrading 3M Variables to Envelope Encryption
In the beginning, taking advantage of existing GCP-provided services to launch a start-up made total sense. Building core services like container registry, block storage, load balancers, or key management would’ve only gotten in the way of building a product.
This highlights what Judea Pearl's causal framework gets at: Pr(Y|X) versus Pr(Y|do(X)), where we can set early.

Causality isn't easy to establish. Correlation is insufficient.

As I recall, the Boston location (Suffolk Downs) would not have been what the typical Amazon HQ worker would have envisioned as being in Boston. OK, there's some public transit but you're basically in a largely blue collar area north of the city. (So somewhat like the NYC proposal in that respect.)

> If you are getting shares at inception you are one of the first employees.

Yes. Going back to the very top of the thread, that's what I said. The best time to join a startup is very early (or very late).

> (unless the business is close to worthless)

Yes. A new startup is basically worthless, it's just a piece of paper and they haven't built anything yet. That's a good time to join.

> I guess it could make sense if the founders decided they were giving you x% of stock, and they used options as an intermediate step to do that for some reason (e.g. vesting).

Yes, of course. That's literally what joining a startup is all about!

I guess the market is different in NZ. You said "The VC culture here is rather thin and options are not commonly used."

It is all about the options in the US (or SV at least). If founders didn't give you x% of the company via vesting options, why would anyone ever join a startup?

>Statistically most people born into poverty stay there.

That simply isn't true. Look at the data on economic mobility, and the vast majority of people born in the bottom 20% leave the bottom 20%.

Outcomes obviously aren't random, but are far from deterministic.

For example, this article puts the number at 63% leaving the bottom 20%. 80% would require that there are no impacts whatsoever from every factor correlated with poverty

Manipulating text files is probably not enough. This is what I usually teach:

1) learn the parts of the command including long and short versions of options(command, options arguments)
2) learn how to execute commands and troubleshoot (which, ls -al, chmod, etc)
3) learn to chain commands with the pipe (grep, sort, awk, sed, wc and grep -c, learn the common misuse of cat since most commands you’re passing to take a filename argument)
4) learn about history, reverse history search, history shortcuts like !! And !:1, tab completion

The way I do this is to have students set up a raspberry pi and ssh into it. There’s a lot of fiddling and troubleshooting involved and it builds good practice.

You should also probably teach command line tool access in vi for processing huge files visually e.g :%! grep
Unlikely. Having code somewhere is OK, you just don't refer to it in the submitted version.

> I use the fact that the constitution says something, and that lesser laws say other things that are in complete opposition to it.

It is not an opposition! It is a way to handle conflicts between different rights! You are right: it is not a difficult concept, but you are failing to get it. You have the right of free speech. I have the right to do not be discriminated nor persecuted by color of skin or something like this. You use the free speech to argue for my killing or to share propaganda that incites my discrimination. We have a clear conflict between 2 rights. Laws will be written, and jurisprudence will be established about how to deal with the conflict. Just repeat blindly "a right is written in constitution" means very little when we are dealing with conflicts of this kind. You could argue for unconstitutionality of censoring if people were just being censored, without a previous conflict.

Moreover, the law for banning Nazism was challenged on ground of constitutionality, but the jurisprudence was stabilished since 2003, when supreme tribunal denied (by 8 votes against 3) to release from jail Siegfried Ellwanger, who published nazi books on Brazil. The supreme tribunal already judged this case 20 years ago.

> Not really. Defending the existence of a political party means exactly that: defending its right to exist. If the party then engages in illegal conduct, then that's a separate crime that happens after the party has been officially recognized by the law.

Wrong. The party itself is illegal based on the law against inciting discrimination. Its existence is by itself illegal, as well as defending its creation. If your party explicitly as your main program consist in discriminatory content, it is illegal.
You have to balk when anyone says that anybody is the same person they were 24 years ago.

True, intelligence is not simple. But no matter how complex it is, the difference between an IQ of 100 and an IQ of 70 is undeniably a difference in intelligence.

The difference between a society with an average IQ of 100 and a society with an average IQ of 70 is one of intelligence. That's why, for example, any policy that allows emigrations from IQ 70 societies to to Western countries, which usually average around 100 IQ, is a bad policy for those Western countries.

There were copious reference links in the article but the one that stood out to me and that I spent some time reading was this GitHub issues discussion on license [1] (but really on the differing opinions of two of the larger forks communities and values).

I am pleased that Valkey has made the decision to remain independent from the competing Redict fork project. The dogmatism on display in that thread is frustrating. It is one thing to stand by your own principles and opinions, it is entirely another thing to aggressively push your opinions onto others. With the two projects remaining independent, we will get to see which kind of community stewardship results in project success and longevity. The alternative, I fear, might have been technically minded people being railroaded by ideologically driven zealots.

Dogmatism and zealotry are words we probably mostly associate with religion, but I think they apply exactly to the kind of people I would proactively exclude from any public community I was trying to build.

First time I heard about Wireless USB was just the other day, in a video looking at a luggable computer from 2006.

https://youtu.be/OO5hYhdxIuk

Video is worth a watch although it also doesn’t give an answer for why Wireless USB actually disappeared.

I was wondering after watching that video, if it could be due to security concerns? Like, is the Wireless USB protocol encrypted? And if so, does it use sufficiently strong encryption?

I did find a document that talks a bit about Wireless USB encryption.

> I think many people have a misunderstanding of what lower fertility means. Imagine a country has a fertility rate of 1. It doesn't seem that bad because it's pretty close to replacement.

That's not even close to replacement. It's somewhere above 2 (often cited as 2.1, but it may be more like 2.04 in times of peace) for it to be replacement. If you could magically make fertility be that number, population increases would only come as a matter of life expectancy increase.

1 actually implies some sort of high-speed demographic implosion that will wreck an economy within a single human lifetime.

> It's easy to imagine 'oh we'll just fix it if it becomes a serious problem like that'

If it takes 30 years to recognize the problem, then one generation has already aged out of ever possibly being able to fix the problem, and the next generation is getting too old to be able to fix it (unless you can do so instantly). You've only got a few generations at a given time that can fix it.

> Japan, for instance, hasn't even hit the worst of it yet. Their fertility plummeted about 40 years ago.

There are fewer people living in Japan today, than there were a year ago. They didn't leave to go elsewhere. They died. And it will be like that every year until there are zero Japanese left. They have been functionally extinct for a few years now, though they may not know it yet.

> it even further is indeed speedrunning the extinction of Western civilization!

There haven't been distinct, compartmentalized civilizations on Earth for over a century at this point. There's only the one civilization. And, if it dies, there likely won't be another. Who had "can't be bothered to fuck" on their Fermi's Paradox bingo card?
