The buddhists would say that expectation and attachment are the root of suffering, and to completely let go of them is the only way to transcend the pain of being.

I don't know if I'd go that far, more like the middle way or Aristotelian golden mean.

I think to an extent there is some inevitable pain in wanting for something that is not yet there, but that doesn't have to be the primary emotion.
It's like in relationships or flirting, if there's no friction at all, it's not compelling, it's boring.

But the underlying thing that makes these relationships worth it, just like pursuing your aspirations, is less about the outcome and more about the process of growing and learning. Or optimally, it should be. Paradoxically, a focus on the process and engaging with it sustainably will oftentimes get you closer to the end goal than excessive goal focus and beating yourself up for the whole time you have not yet reached your goal.

The tragic part of aspiration is that often those that are ambitious are also incredibly critical thinkers, and are thus not as able or willing to count the small wins and gradual progress that comes from a sustainable approach.

We also have a tendency to move goalposts, so that by the time we achieve an original goal, we already have the next ones lined up. So the feeling ends up being inadequacy and disappointment.

"Why am I never meeting all of my goals? There must be something wrong with me..."

"There's always something left to try to crack at the end of the day, and until I figure it out I can't let myself off the hook."

This can lead to burnout, cynicism, and frankly a pretty toxic social life.

It's been a process to be in the paradoxical state of constantly wanting to improve and realizing the human constraints I have aren't typically existential flaws, they're just parts of the experience.

Pausing to assess my progress, optimally with objective data, to be able to come to a conclusion and adjust if needed allows me to "give it a rest" with the constant cross examination of self.

Over time, it becomes less constant.
Over time, I've learned to appreciate my progress.

One of the big things recently is learning to appreciate myself for WHO I am rather than what I can do to "create value".

My interest is as a bit of a precision time enthusiast and an advocate of public goods. We’re awash in “good time”, GNSS, RF, NTP over IP, cellular, but it still feels like there is a gap to fill to make precision time super cheap and ubiquitous. Getting time over mains power or other previously convenient but potentially low precision sources should be over, but getting precision time should be as easy and reliable as mains power. Thanks for riffing with me!
This would be the biggest tell as I don't even know where you would buy Letter paper in Europe. It's hard enough to buy A4 in the USA. I'm in the USA and I'm a jerk who prints things on A4 and mails them out just to make sure they don't fit in anyone's filing system.
Thought I'd take a crack at it in Zig:

const foo: [_][8]**fn () [*][*:0]const u8;

This is an array of result-defined size, of arrays of eight pointers to fn pointers, which returns a many-item pointer to null-terminated arrays of u8. Null terminated because we're going to assume that the C data structure is properly null-terminated...

Still an insane data structure, and I'm still learning Zig, so I can't promise this is precisely equivalent to the C, I got as close as I could and am unwilling to try and compile, let alone build, such a type.

No one would actually do this unless they needed `extern` compatibility. Ignoring the fact (pointed out in the Fine Article) that no one would use anything vaguely like this, a more Zig native version might be

const foo: [_][8]**fn() [][]const u8

Which returns a slice of slices of immutable u8s, these being fat pointers which include their length.

I think USA now is in a very weak position, starting for their leadership and potential candidates. It is not acting as a world superpower which is to decide a course of action for the following decades and not oscillating or simulating that they are not a super power: the nuclear weapons, the F-35s, etc. Also, I don't think the new generations in USA could tolerate a war, educationally speaking. There will be massive peace protests around the country by people that never experienced a war like previous generations.

Iran could do whatever they want via proxies. China is making deals everywhere, and Russia continue to move forward while Europe... is sleeping.
I've never seen anything that complex in my experience, and it would be considered bad code pretty much everywhere.

Rule #1 of programming is to make code easy to understand and self-documenting. This should be a sequence of typedefs with self-explanatory names followed by a function call taking one pointer or type and returning another.

Circa 1980, as a hobbyist beekeeper with six hives nearby Seattle, they came down with foul-brood. (It never was certain if it was American Foul-brood or European) Duly reported and the county agent came in, sealed them, and carted them away. For an additional fee (which I paid) they would fumigate them and return just the hive bodies, but none of the frames, (some of which would contain the infected brood). Those were burned. I believe the fumigant at the time was phosphine[1]

I think there is plenty of reason to be skeptical of do-gooder foreigners who think they know better than the locals, but IMO that describes Greenpeace here more than the golden rice project. They are banning it completely, taking agency away from local farmers and consumers. Also, most of their objections seem to stem from GM fearmongering disguised as environmental and nutritional concerns. I doubt that they would fight golden rice if it were a hybrid crop instead.
It seems to me that the whole "trad wife" thing is rage-bait that the press took hold of and blew out of proportion.

> Hard to follow someone

IMO: Good. The harder it is to shout "look at ME" for clout and profit, the more productive and on topic the discourse tends to be, and the easier it is for moderation to weed out the trolls and off topic/hateful/spammy discussion. The fact that this place isn't about who any one given poster is, but what they have to say, is part of what makes it such a vibrant and valuable and informative place to have discussions.

> hard to form groups discussing various topics

Why is this necessary when various topics tend to get substantial discussion already? Sure, some more than others, but that activity tends to form a rather organic filter without facilitating echo chambers and mob mentality that tends to emerge when you start erecting walled gardens. Sure, that still happens to an extent, but much less than on say reddit or twitter.

I fail to see how making this more like platforms succumbing to the enshittification of the internet is a path to improvement here.

It doesn't even need to be code; I simply can't turn in work physically. If I type out my project notes or Kaizen report in a typewriter, I'll be asked to make a digital copy next. This isn't just programming, everywhere you go is digital-first and would vastly prefer a digitized copy from the start as opposed to OCRing a photo of my typewritten document.

Again - for personal use, go crazy. Nostalgic stuff is fun! This is not a solution for 90% of the workforce though and I would argue that relying on a typewriter for isolation is harming your professional prospects. Apply to any job and compare the reactions you get bringing your typewriter to the first interview with the reactions you get from bringing your laptop.
> It feels like we are in a wilderness period right now

Not really. I bought a house with a lot of deferred maintenance and am replacing a lot of systems to get it back in good order. I just tell various vendors/salesfolk/installers "no thanks, I prefer a dumb home" and none of them miss a beat. Usually they'll tell me a story or two about the "smart" version of their product failing to live up to the "smart" moniker. And we all move on with our lives.

The only pushback we ever got was from a solar installer but we had already decided the contract terms were a non-starter, so we just told him to take a hike at that point.

In what way(s) do you want to "overwhelm" this "powerful computer"?

- Network?

- CPU?

- RAM?

- Storage IO?

- Specific app(s) on the system?

- Something else?

What OS is it running?

- To "overwhelm" Windows is not always the same as to how to "overwhelm" Linux

- To "overwhelm" via virtualization (or containers) is rarely the same as with a whole device with a single dedicated OS

> No, the causal portion of reality.

You are welcome to make an assertion that causal forces lie only in the physical realm, but declaring something to be true does not necessarily make it true, though at scale it can certainly make it seem true.

See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology

>> An ideology is a set of beliefs or philosophies attributed to a person or group of persons, especially those held for reasons that are not purely epistemic...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect

>> The illusory truth effect (also known as the illusion of truth effect, validity effect, truth effect, or the reiteration effect) is the tendency to believe false[1] information to be correct after repeated exposure.

[1] The "false" designation here is unnecessary and flawed imho (or better: a fine example of how ubiquitous this problem is).

> (Philosophers of metaphysics are still arguing whether acausal aspects of reality are, in any real sense, real,

What meaning do you assign to the symbol "real" in this context?

Is it flawless?

> ...but we don't need to listen to them.)

In an absolute sense, no you don't. But to achieve certain desires you may have to. Like the saying goes: "You may not be interested in metaphysics (or truth, etc), but it might be interested in you".

But it's even more interesting: not only do you not have to listen to or seek truth, you can engage in mass collective story telling on the internet, confusing the population at scale. Don't believe me? There's a search function right here on HN, the evidence is there for the viewing!

> If we discover something non-physical (the usual example being ghosts), that'll just become a new branch of physics.

a) Science does like their Motte and Bailey.

b) I doubt you can actually see the future. If you disagree, please explain, using only physics, how you can.

> Physics currently talks about dark energy, the geometry of spacetime, and quantum superposition. I don't think you can get much less physical than that.

Do you believe that aggregate reality is constrained by your cognitive abilities, or are you perhaps more so describing your opinion about "reality"?

They chose an actually extremely soft approach to this, almost completely skipping over the question of the role of these influencers in the ecosystem of right wing religious nationalist propaganda they are clearly a part of.

> People - women especially - should consciously weigh up the pros and cons of spending your life doing PowerPoints for some company

People - women especially - already do this! Talk to them about it! They mostly all have extremely fraught and internally conflicted experiences of and beliefs about their capitulation to economic & social pressure and the demands that places on their own desires & values & hopes for their families and their futures. The fact that some still do choose professional achievement for some part of their lives doesn't mean they haven't considered the consequences or alternatives.

And also, I mean, it's not a novel observation to point out that these women all have serious professional jobs: influencer. The cumulative stresses & demands of the life in front of the camera are well attested and articulated at this point. The effects of this sort of blurring of spheres and public professionalization of caregiving on the children who grow up in it is just beginning to become apparent but I haven't noticed anyone thinking it looks good for them.
I think Betamax might have something to say about that.
Can't tell you "best" but https://github.com/TypicalAM/goread is worth a look!
Yes, it's valuable to have a small research team who focuses on R&D outside the production loop.

But when you give them a larger remit, and structure teams with some owning "value" and and others essentially owning "risk", the risk teams tend to attract navel-gazers and/or coasters. They wield their authority like a whip without regard for business value.

The problem is the incentives tend to be totally misaligned. Instead the team that ships the "value" also needs to own their own risk management - metrics and counter metrics - with management holding them accountable for striking the balance.
I believe the right analytical lens for this situation is - “You come at the king, you best not miss.”

Haven't finished reading this but I do wonder about the (still fairly common?) belief that Russia and China very much distrust and despise each other. They're much different than they were in the middle half of the 20th century when their animosity towards each other was based on who they though should be the vanguard of the communist-socialist Leninists-Marxist world revolution.

And if people still believe in this split, incorrectly, will that cause people to incorrectly analyze the situation? As a general principle Russia and China are each untrustworthy of other countries so perhaps they're playing the "keep your friends close but your enemies closer" card. And it's at this point I start to feel that my analysis is too circular, and that China will continue to assist Russia only so long as it suits them (the self interest argument that someone else posted about).

Honestly, having a "Long term AI risk" team is a great idea for an early stage startup claiming to build General AI. It looks like they are taking the mission and risks seriously.

I think that in both cases it's a question of when the economics run out: There's a Pareto principle plateau where further investment stops making sense when the project is 80% of the way to functional with 80% of the work remaining. (That's the general Pareto 80/20 rule, I suspect the actual numbers for FSD are far worse.)

If Tesla can sell a "Full Self Driving" package with 20% of the work of the real thing, some cameras, and some empty promises for $8k at 0.99%, I think their actual incentives to go from Level 3 to Level 5 are pretty weak.

In contrast, GPTs currently have a small window of utility in marketing, search, and other text generation processes where accuracy isn't that important and weird tics are tolerable. The general public isn't yet accustomed to their hallucinations and foibles, so people are willing to pay to use them in contexts where the current state of the art is inadequate, but there will be recoil from those uses. And there's a huge gold rush underway as Google/Microsoft/Meta/others all try to dominate the future regardless of present economics.

I disagree: I think people genuinely do believe their own opinions, and politicians are also human....thus delusional, and corrupt, necessarily. But they ain't stupid (or at least their PR folks aren't): a well done (mis)representation of reality is well known to be more than adequate to fool most people most of the time, and misrepresenting reality is at the core of "successful" (depending on your perspective, I'm talking electoral and financial success) politics.
QFT also becomes increasingly unwieldy for large systems. E.g., try calculating bond energies of complex molecules. You can do it for hydrogen and "hydrogen like" molecules, but once you get beyond a few interactions, the differential equation does not have closed form solutions. This is not a total loss as you can resort to numerical solutions in at least some cases.

Science is mostly about producing models that "work" whether this involves reductionism to more fundamental principles or not. At worst however, the model which describes the larger system should not conflict with the description of the smaller one.
