This article completely misses the point of these techniques. It reads like something someone just made up because it "feels good".

Background: I'm a musican and programmer, now doing a Phd between both fields. I've been reading about practicing and learning techniques and talking to experts about this for about 30 years.

The whole point is that you take a break BEFORE you feel like you need to. This is basically universal across disciplines. That's the secret. If you wait until you "feel like it" you are likely already past the optimal fatigue point. You can get way more training/learning/work done if you keep yourself away from that point, and for most people doing serious training, 25-30 minutes on followed by 5 to 10 off is good. This is used in sports and music extensively. I could see other fields using something longer, but the principle still holds. If you stop way before fatigue and rest, you can get about 2 to 3 times more in in a day than if you train to fatigue.

In addition to making sure you aren't fatigued, it also keeps you in the right head space, which is calm and focused, NOT obsessive and agitated. If you can't make yourself take a break every half hour, then that likely means you've crossed into obsessive-compulsive land and are no longer focusing optimally.

Doing this does not feel natural. It takes practice. But once you get used to it, you can definitely do more. And it needs to be a BREAK. One of my university music teachers swore by literally lying done on the practice room floor for five minutes every half hour, and that guy was a beast on the bass, one of the best in a city of two million.

Proposing something else because it feels nice... is almost exactly wrong. I mean, do what you like, but comparing it to a timed training regime is way off base.
I wonder if they will actually answer this. Incredible "oh you know the ones" energy on it.
The vast majority of people have never experienced an induction range. They would also need to buy new cookware, and/or install a high voltage electric line to their kitchen (could easily be a $1k expense).

On top of this, gas is cheaper than electricity, and gas ranges are cheaper than induction ranges.
If a logical block address is not mapped to any physical flash memory addresses, then the SSD can return zeros for a read request immediately, without touching the flash.
WhatsApp is built on a hodge-podge of open standards (including XMPP) already. It's also closed off to everyone else. Good luck with your "open standard" XMPP client competing when everyone in your country uses WhatsApp.

Part of the DMA is that they must open this up for others so competition can actually happen in the first place (which in my reading they're not really doing in good faith by the way; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39635948)

Also WhatsApp isn't really "innovative" in the sense that it does something spectacularly new or brilliant. Most of the "innovation" comes from scaling it to the number of users they have, but that's a bit of a different thing. This is actually true for quite a bit of these Big Tech companies (especially the software-only companies).
> consciousness is not a manifestation of the physical structures of our mind, but rather a reflection or view into the nature of our soul

> To wit, there are several other mammals in the world which have similarly complex brain structures, and in many cases larger amounts of brain mass, but do not exhibit any sort of human-like consciousness.

Per your theory these other mammals do not have "souls", otherwise their significant brain mass would reflect their soul's nature, and generate consciousness.

So humans have somehow been chosen exclusively to have "souls", or at least have brains capable of reflecting them.

When did this choosing happen? Just to homo sapiens sapiens or also to neanderthalis and other homo sapiens subspecies?

Taking it back further, under your theory do our closest extant genetic relatives, bonobo chimpanzees, have souls, and by extension, your definition of consciousness?

Kagi has been the only search engine worth any of my time over the last year.

Very, very occasionally I'll switch to startpage (google proxy) for queries that I think should have pulled a result that Kagi didn't show me. 90% of the time I'm still disappointed, so I've all but stopped doing this in recent months.

Even DDG gives me the same disgusted reaction as google. It's all spam and ads, and only the most common words in my query are considered. If the exact query returns nothing, DDG and google give me a bunch of garbage anyway. Kagi just shows a reasonable message that this query produced no results.

And let's not forget booleans and quotes and all the other advanced search techniques. Google et al just don't even have a horse in this race anymore. It's all just momentum and money, there's no product anymore.
That's the death rate per person, which is not really a good measure of how safe the roads are. Better is the death rate per km.

The US drives about 62 times as many km as Sweden does, and has a population about 32 times as big as Sweden, which means the US death rate per person would be expected to be about 1.9 times that of Sweden if the roads were equally safe.

With that correction the US is about 2.6 times as deadly as Sweden rather than 5 times as deadly.

Note: the above numbers are somewhat fuzzy, because when I Googled for population and driving and death data the results weren't always for the same year.
A file should be good. Why do you think a file is more fragile? DBMS are saving data in files. If you are worried about long term data reliability you can use some error correcting codes such as Hamming or Reed-Solomon. If I do something like this I would use something simple like JSON or CSV.
I agree but even if you take materialism for granted, we’ve yet to uncover the exact biological mechanism. It’s entirely possible that it is unique to carbon-based and/or analog brains.

Definitely not necessary. I have no idea how to define a measurable result that is necessary for consciousness, but a thought experiment with a physically measurable outcome that is sufficient proves that consciousness can inpact the material world
I was looking at the prospect of renting out a second house that I have. The risks with a bad tenant are too high for me. I fully understand why a large number of people are not rented too. The risk is staggering unless you are well funded. I can't afford six months of mortgage payments to evict someone or the potential of the tenant to trash the place. My mortgage payment is quite low comparatively speaking, but there isn't enough gross profit to take the risk. Income subsidized units in this area leave too little in the incomes of most people to be anything other than teetering on the edge of financial ruin. The housing market is fundamentally broken. (I am speaking from Southeastern US perspective).
Having used a plethora of stoves over my life, I can absolutely say I am convinced gas stoves are on their way out. I have not seen anything that an induction stove cannot do as well as a gas one. Even commercial establishments are switching to it. Will there be changes in how to use if effectively? Of course. That's to be expected. I can't see how the liability of an open flame won't outweigh changing.
They have actual physical vulnerability because it's very dangerous to not be living in a home, and there is no guaranteed short-term fallback if you are forced from your home. Speaks VOLUMES that you consider "financial risk" more valid than this, which you choose to downplay as just a sense of vulnerability rather than the actual fact of it.

The "official" version used in that blog post decodes the JPG all in one go - so it's pretty memory hungry. With JPEG encoders that decode sections of the image at a time you can minimise the amount of RAM that needs to be allocated. It's also possible to stream the display data out to screen using DMA while the next chunk of image data is being decoded.

It's explained in a bit more details in this original blog post written before the library was optimised: https://atomic14.substack.com/p/the-fastest-esp32-jpeg-decod....

It's very easy to forget what a range of MCUs there are, from very puny, to very capable. For example the Espressif range of MCUs - which you'll find in all sorts of consumer products - are very powerful. Couple that with a lot of cheap SPI based display modules and you very quickly start wanting to show images.
There are trim-equivalent commands in the ATA, SCSI, and NVMe command sets. So the OS can issue the SCSI command to the USB device that's using UASP, and the bridge chip inside the external SSD can translate that to the ATA or NVMe counterpart before passing it on to the SSD controller behind the bridge. Not all external SSDs or bridge chips actually support trim passthrough, but these days it's standard functionality.
Wood burning generates a lot more particulates in the air than burning gas. So likely much worse

Our community has to stage mock events to give these folks some practice. We burn funds every once in a while on purpose to maintain readiness as we suppose. If you plan ahead, you can include hotdogs and soda in the budget.
"Popularity" isn't the right word. Most kitchens have the energy source for the stove locked in a time of construction,, and it would be non-trivial remodeling job to change it. It's not like people go out shopping for gas vs. electric stoves every five years, like they do for different cars.
> In the United States, the power is almost entirely in the hands of the landlord.

This is a wild generalization because every state has different rules and cities have their own different rules as well.

There are indeed places in the US where the landlord has all the power and the renter has zero rights and it can get ugly.

There are also places in the US where renters hold so much power that they can get away with everything and the hands of the landlord are tied and it can get ugly.

The best places are those where there is a balance, where the laws acknowledge that both the landlord and the renter need to act reasonably and not try to screw over the other party.
I think several of your examples appear to be confusing Google’s material design system with the frameworks capabilities.
I'm not saying that people won't be paid or that jobs will disappear. I'm saying it's easy to create new jobs.

Here are some ideas:

Increase bureaucratic overhead, eg 3 years mandatory training for a licensed hairdresser. More forms, more delays. Require that a plumber has a plumber's mate. Require in person meetings to avoid fraud. Etc.
"Honesty" isn't his only schtick--he also wants us to believe we are going around all the time making irrational decisions. Here's one putative "cognitive bias":

"Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in pro-choice rallies.

Which is more probable?
Linda is a bank teller, or,
Linda is a bank teller and is a feminist."

Fred says it's more probable that Linda is a teller who is a feminist. Barney says, no, it's more likely that she's a bank teller.

Who is right? Well, they both are--depending upon the meaning they give to the "or" given in the choices:

Linda is a bank teller, or,
Linda is a bank teller and is a feminist."

Barney interpreted "or" the way it is usually glossed in logic textbooks, as the "inclusive or". Under this interpretation, Barney is right, because the set of tellers is LARGER than the set of feminist tellers. So it has to be more likely that she is a teller.

Fred, however, interpreted "or" as the exclusive or. That's the "or" your mother means, when she says "I'll buy you either the squirt gun or the comic book." You don't say "oh goodie! I'll take them both!!" No, mom is just going to buy you one or the other.

Under that interpretation, the question means "Is it more likely that Linda is a bank teller who is NOT a feminist, or that she is a bank teller who IS a feminist?" So Fred is right under that interpretation. As is everybody who gives this answer on psychological tests, because most of the time in English, "or" means "exclusive or."

--//--

As far as I can tell, EVERY SINGLE example used to prove we have cognitive biases use this same trick:

Step #1: Find an ambiguous word or phrase ("or" in the above example),

Step #2; write the question so that test subjects will tend to interpret it one way,

Step #3: and then conclude they are irrational by adopting the other interpretation when evaluating the truth value of their answer.

Step #4: get tenure and lucrative corporate consulting gigs

Those are all important considerations when talking about particular circumstances. Mathematically, however, 2 is greater than 1.

I say "logically" in the sense that, across a broad view of conflicts, the larger combatant usually does the most damage. The reason why is particular to each conflict (more bodies to throw, more brains devoted to tech development, more industrial output, etc.), and when it does not happen, the reason why is also similarly particular. You can also argue whether the circumstances truly yield a "win" (as in asymmetric warfare that ends with the smaller force driving out the larger one on logistical grounds, despite sustaining heavier losses). (Also note that "war" is not "business"; alliances are more important when the outcome of lost battles isn't just lost access to capital, but lost lives).
Price is coming down, but still much higher than standard electric. Standard electric being somewhere between annoying (open coil) and infuriating (glass top) to cook on when compared to even very inexpensive gas ranges.

So most folks moving into a place with "contractor-grade" appliances already installed are going to experience a very functional gas range or a barely usable electric.

Most folks don't replace appliances just for the hell of it.

"While labor and nonlabor input costs have played a role in price increases, corporate profits drove 53 percent of inflation during the second and third quarters of 2023 and more than one-third since the start of the pandemic. Comparatively, over the 40 years prior to the pandemic, they drove just 11 percent of price growth."

I also find it interesting that climate change has taken the role of eschatology for an increasingly secular society, and I say this as an atheist. The industrial revolution acts as original sin, mother nature will give us her final judgment, we must all atone by buying climate pledge products from Amazon, etc. Western secular liberals don't realize how religious they actually are.

We've observed the immediate effects of stratospheric aerosols in living history, as with volcanic eruptions and forest fires reducing temperatures significantly. We don't know their long term effects, though most aerosols only stay suspended in the atmosphere for a limited time. CO2 is a much less powerful greenhouse gas in absolute magnitude than aerosols are anti-greenhouse gases, so we don't need long range modelling to understand they can cool the Earth in the short term.

My point is that mitigation strategies like stratospheric aerosol injection would be far more effective in the worst case climate scenarios than trying to spend many trillions on direct air capture of CO2, intermittent energy sources, grid scale batteries, punitive regulations, etc. I also find it interesting that all the elites seem to relish in the climate change narrative, they bring Greta Thunberg to admonish them, they fly their private jets to the conferences, still own their beach front properties. Revealed preferences would suggest they don't actually believe it to be that big an issue, and that it's more likely yet another scheme for increasing their power and extracting wealth from the public.

I’m by not stretch a cookware enthusiasts. But everything except one piece I bought over the past five years supported induction without me paying any attention to it whatsoever.

As far as costs are concerned, I have no clue. Since I am not in the US, basically every home here in Germany has the electric wiring required for an induction stove.
You are spouting absolute nonsense. No one expects you to read books (or even a book) on the topic, but at least glance at a Wikipedia entry.
On the flip side fireplaces uniformly have chimneys (and wood stoves almost always do) in order to get those particulates out of the house. Which doubles as getting the gasses generated out of the house.

I'm not an expert but I'd guess that at least with regards to NO2 that made up for the less clean burning.
It is a great personal career risk to push such sentiments up into management that have harmful impacts on other partner companies and/or internal projects.

Intel's corporate culture specifically failed to do this with the Ittanium, where the technical failings were ignored.

I guess the industry is lucky that Intel Architecture Labs was permitted greater freedom.
I mean.. let's be fair.. if it was intentional, it would be one of the main two suspects.
With that attitude I ain't implementing special hacky workarounds for Safari anymore /s but in all seriousness why? barring developers with malicious intent most developers would just want cross-platform tooling, open systems and less friction in making apps all of which modern web provides and with PWA the experience is even more pleasant as long as relevant API's are available. But when you have a single browser engine preventing this experience it's simply not right. I don't want to code my app twice especially since I don't need the native performance.
We can’t replicate it now but it doesn’t means it’s impossible.

(Computer vision, in particular, is basically always classified as AI today, but the term was mostly avoided in the industry until quite recently.)
I think I remember single pot I had issues with. It was cheap teflon one. Just need to be aware to pick stuff that is induction compatible and it should be fine. And most decent cookware is already there.

Though, you can get an "induction adapter" to fix that problem. You are better off with induction friendly cookware.
