I am not exactly sure what you are saying! :)

My response is staying with science, which just means staying with evidence and reasoning that avoids our unbounded ability to fool ourselves. I.e. repeatable experiments by others, tested model predictions, mathematical and statistical checks, etc.

That is all science and math are. An accumulation of tools and systems that improve the reliability of our thinking. They increasingly help us mitigate our exceptional talent for fooling ourselves.

If we find another way to "know", it will get included into science too.

I am a big believer that our personal experience and relationship with life is improved by meditation, staring by learning to quiet our minds and focus/refocus on one simple thing at a time (breathing for instance, or nothing). Then use our ability to focus to mindfully listen to our bodies, then our feelings, then our beliefs, our values, our situations, finally what it all means.

But our minds/brains don't internally track providence of information. What is real and beyond us, vs. what we imagine or want. It is all mixed up in our heads, thus the ease with which we trick ourselfs, and others.

I am a big believer in imagination, to the sky and beyond anything we see. But the very unboundedness of imagination is why just because we can imagine something, and it seems right, fulfills some deep balance, and seems vivid, desirable, and makes clear sense that must be true, ... that doesn't actually make it true, real, or coherent, not even a little bit.

> I think manipulation of elements (for example) will be considered as a very primitive thing in the grand scheme of evolution!

Evolution created multicellular creatures, nervous systems, and brains, which in turn have created a species/society that is actively searching for knowledge and putting it to work for survival at higher orders of organization. I.e. science, economics, politics, technology, etc. Limited resources (at any given time) continue to drive us to solve new problems and learn more, to continue surviving even as we complicate and expand the environment we survive in.

So in that sense, life is already moving past biological chemistry into other substrates, and we are already learning to harness the arrangement of atoms to go further. And eventually, perhaps, harness the fine structure of space-time, and beyond.
No. Every season ends on a cliffhanger that seems critical to the story and then is quickly resolved as if it were some minor point in the first episode of the subsequent season. This is the nature of this type of episodic television that runs for an indeterminate time and therefore has no real overarching story (but pretends to) like soap operas do.

I only know of a few examples where writers escape this. The first is to have the episodes be essentially disconnected from one another (e.g. Star Trek). The other is what "The Wire" did by having each season have its own plot that is properly resolved at the end of each season.
> I guess my worst fear is not "no more jobs because AI can code" but "no more junior jobs because AI can code under the supervision of a senior

You're posting under a thread where many seniors are discussing how they don't want this because it doesn't work.

You cannot make a model understand anything. You can help a person understand something. You can accomplish that with a simple conversation with a junior engineer.

I will never make GPT-4 or whatever understand what I want. It will always respond with a simulacrum that looks and sounds like it gets what I'm saying, but it fundamentally doesn't, and when you're trying to get work done, that can range from being annoying to being a liability.
Even Hubble images are false color as well. It uses filters and then recombines them to RGB channels. People naturally ask what they would actually see, but they actually wouldn't see much of anything. Using a telescope to look at things, one only sees a black and white image. We've been shown so much from sci-fi with space ships showing nebulas and nova remnants out their view screens, but that' just not what one would see.
It sounds like you almost have enough numbers to calculate the ball-park efficiency.

Grid -> condo battery ~85% (basically an L2 charger)

Condo battery -> L3 charger let's say ~96%[0] because it's a high discharge rate

L3 charger -> car ~90%

It's simple math now: 0.85 * 0.96 * 0.90 = ~74% end-to-end efficiency.

If my comment didn't make sense to you, read it again, slowly. "Open markets" is not an Orwellian phrase - it's well-understood by anyone with any economic literacy that competition in markets requires those markets to be regulated in order to avoid monopolies and other trusts. Apple introduced a great product in the iPhone, no question about that. And Apple is rewarded through its efforts by enjoying large profit margins on the handsets it sells. This should be obvious. What Apple isn't entitled to is to charge rents for the right to simply exist on its devices. Anyone who understands the power of open systems in the technological revolution over the last thirty years can grasp this easily. It's what gave us the web, and spawned trillions of dollars in economic growth as companies developed for the web and for hundreds of millions of personal computers. It isn't economically productive to have one or two or three gatekeeping companies capture a slice of that revenue just because they can. That 30% revenue that's lost to Apple is paid for directly by the consumer, obviously.

To help unmuddle your thinking, Apple doesn't subsidize the cost of the iPhone with its services revenue. Apple makes blockbuster profits on every phone it sells, and always has. I'm not an app developer, and I'm not even in the technology industry. But I understand economics and antitrust law, and don't wear my ignorance of either as a badge of honor while shitposting replies to people's comments.
Seems like a good application of 'gene therapy', where the protein could be regulated by some beneficial viral infection?
> This is an excellent example of 'thinking inside the boundaries of our paradigm'.

And by thinking within the boundaries of our paradigm, we can conclude that this particular combination of technology and culture has not spread throughout our galaxy.

> Other civilizations may have discovered paradigms that allow them to traverse the galaxy in days, and even in seconds.

If that is physically possible. Which we have fairly strong evidence against.

> That's what was said in the mid to late 19th century. Then quantum physics was discovered.

Right! Physicists found evidence to support revolutionary findings, and it was believed because other physicists reproduced the evidence for themselves.

Keep your mind open, but not so open that your brain falls out. By all means, there is more physics to discover, but pinning one's hopes on superluminal spacetravel without a shred of evidence is folly.

> A lot of the things that are observed in the ufo phenomenon can be similar things if they are actual extraterrestrial civilizations 'observing' us. 'Shape changing' ufos, ufos that travel in a speed that no creature can withstand etc.

Yeah, I love science fiction, too. It's really fun. But you're so frothy about the possibility that physics is wrong, that you aren't considering that a small number of poorly-instrumented observations are wrong.
> because it allows to touch type with both hands at a slight angle

I see this sort of thing repeated and I always feel compelled to disagree. I'm sitting here typing on a mono-ortho board and I can choose to angle my wrists or not angle my wrists. That part has nothing to do with the choice of ortho or stagger.
I have thought about using tessaract, using it to OCR the TOC and generate something like this. But there are just so many edge cases that make the whole process fail. For example, how do you handle it if the title breaks into two lines? What if the page number is not recognized correctly? For example, 10 can be 1o What if there are dots? Maybe you can use GPT to clean the extracted text.

In the end, I found ChatGPT-4's multimodal capability can recognize text + page number pairs well if I feed screenshots of TOC into it, and I have settled on that.

From other comments here noting that digital copies are often both more expensive and allow only for a limited number of total lends to happen before invalid (4-6 being noted), it sounds like even getting a physical copy, converting to digital and securing or destroying the physical copy to allow a single digital copy to be checked out at a time would be useful for libraries. Just having a digital copy with the same lending characteristics as a physical one sounds like a win over that.
This site uses WAY too much SPA crap, and the actual photo itself seems to be a broken link on my phone (that takes me to a weird squasi-progressive homepage without changing URL?).

I was fortunate to watch it on Vision Pro in IMAX and it was spectacular.

On the giant screen the Horsehead Nebula was mindblowing.
Apple is a corporation that exists to make money for its shareholders. It spent $10 billion to develop an Apple Car because it thought it would make a nice ROI by doing so, but failed. Do you think the money was spent altruistically? LOL
I think the important product-design issue here (which may be sabotaged by the Attract Investor Cash issue) is that labor-savings can backfire when:

1. It takes longer to verify/debug/fix specious results than to just do it manually.

2. Specious results were not reliably checked, leading to something exploding in a very bad way.
An event like this would be more of a rejuvenating forest fire than an apocalypse.

Happens to me sometimes too. And I don't have ADHD after testing. Choline and other focus related supplements helped a bit. Aggressively trying to reduce anxiety helped more than anything. Anxiety disconnects the "now" from the "goal" states and can massively disrupt concentration.
but don't they have a real effect on the company?

I mean, yes each claimant gets 0.53 cents (applied to their next purchase), but don't the sued companies still shell out millions?
Some countries do fine overstayers, but UK is quite happy for people to leave with no penalty, it just doesn’t want them to come back again afterwards.

If someone overstays without a good reason then they are probably not entering the UK again for a long time.

The consequences are almost worse without the exit controls because overstayers will waste money on a flight only to get turned around at the border - assuming they don’t need a visa or ETA.
Carrier position accuracy is pretty shit in low density areas, you aggregate (e.g. per H3 tile), apply scaling (no operator has 100% market share) and K-anonymity.
We definitely intend to explore a VS Code extension in the not too distant future. And we decided to build a web client + integrated cloud terminal, simply because that allowed us to create an experience that is one-click away from an issue, and could be accessed from anywhere and any device (i.e. we’ve deeply optimized CW for mobile, and I do quite a bit of code thinking in that modality).

In the meantime, when you open a Codespace from Copilot Workspace, you could open that Codespace in VS Code desktop. And use that as a companion editor to the web client (since we bi-directionally sync file changes between them). But totally agreed that a more integrated VS Code experience will be compelling!
I believe the issue was that they weren't doing controlled digital lending. They allowed an unlimited number of people to check out an individual book digitally & then took donations for doing so. The original envision, where a book can be checked out digitally (and then is reserved until "returned", and mare available again), is way more defensible.
Um, the mode that you put it into, which is labelled 'Full Self-Driving'.

Being a closed ecosystem does not entitle you to imposing whatever harms you'd like on the market. If that were true, there would be no effective regulation of business - Microsoft would have just shrugged off the DOJ's suit against them. Netscape who?

You can feel however you want about it, your opinion as a customer is one of the last things considered when proving anticompetitive harm. No company ever, not the least of which being Apple, has ever escaped anticompetitive scrutiny for being "very clear from the start". If anything, it just goes to show how incapable and reluctant the US is when forced to regulate it's own domestic business.

> plandex went into some kind of loops a couple of times so I stoped using it for now.

Hey, Plandex creator here. I just pushed a release today that includes fixes for exactly this kind of problem - https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex/releases/tag/cli%2Fv0.... -- Plandex now has a much better 'working memory' that helps it not to go into loops, repeat steps it's already done, or give up too early.

I'd love to hear whether it's working better for you now.

Never depend on anything commercial by Google except Ads. Even G-suite is pushing your lack.

>“We’re sad, but still cranking hard on I/O and beyond,” wrote Google PM Kevin Moore in the Flutter development community on Reddit, where he added that Flutter and Dart weren’t affected any more or less than other teams. “We know ya’ll care SO MUCH about the project and the team and the awesome ecosystem we’ve built together. You’re nervous. I get it. We get it. You’re betting on Flutter and Dart. So am I. So is Google,” he said.

Pro tip: if a company has to make a statement that they still care for some technology or product of theirs, they' dont.

The calculation is wrong. With daily revenue of $520.4mm, it takes less than half a day to generate revenue of $196mm.

It's also a less interesting approach than it would be by looking at profit, which is closer to the real impact.

Iirc this is a limitation with Prometheus, too, but they give you a switch to change the behavior

It's possible Grafana Agent inherited (potentially without exposing the corresponding configuration switch to change it)

Edit, it might also be a limitation with k8s, too. I think watches don't support annotations

> Again, I found the grafana solutions either too complex or they don’t solve my problem so I wrote into my own solution where tenants define their scrape configs in k8s config maps and then the agent consumes those configmaps to set up scraping.

I think the Prometheus Operator supports this. I also setup something similar with weaveworks tf-controller (or whatever they renamed it to). It can data source configmaps and shove that into other places
That's part of the surprise - I can't speak to the specifics for US citizens more than others in this post have as I'm not based there. Tax definitely wasn't determined _at time of vest_ for anybody though, it was time of liquidity.

In Australia we were granted options, which ordinarily are taxed at time of exercise. Lots of people were surprised to discover, almost a full year after the IPO, that those options were also subject to a tax deferral scheme and any tax already paid at exercise wasn't sufficient. The actual taxable amount determined by HashiCorp and the ATO was the $80 IPO price. If you sold the full amount you were entitled to (10% of your vested holdings) at the IPO you were probably fine. If you sold nothing, because you thought you had already paid the required taxes, by the time you received the tax statement the value of your stock would have been less than what you owed in taxes.
The listing says that 1% of the nodes have RAM with memory errors. I assume this means hard errors since soft errors would just be corrected. Is this typical? Does RAM deteriorate over time?

It's certainly not an uninteresting question! But personally I think the answer is "no". I think getting interrupted externally makes it strictly harder for me to manage my own internal distractions. Which doesn't mean it is universally bad though, to be clear! There are other important things, even far more important things, than individual productivity. But from the perspective of "is it easier or harder for me to get my individual contributions done if I'm left entirely alone or if I'm pinged about things frequently", I really think the answer is that it's always worse to be fielding communications.
