Can anyone explain how Wayland and X(?) relate to Linux?

Like what’s the windows equivalent?

I’ve used Ubuntu desktop a few times, I keep liveUSB versions of mint, Suse, and Ubuntu on my ventoy, but I just don’t understand what the deal is with the constant discussion of Wayland and X…
It’s not overriding the legal system, it willfully sidestepping it. But obligating the contracted party to agree. The issue of course is that Hertz (in this case) can put whatever random requirements into the contract, and you can’t arbitrarily strike them. You still need/want their service.

That said, just because there’s an arbitration clause in the contract doesn’t mean you’re absolutely stuck. You can hire a lawyer and try to get out of it. They’re trying to keep you from doing something like that.

>it might be possible that your consciousness is a product of a simulation where your entire subjectivity - including the observation that you have a brain - is a manifestation of another mechanism that is outside of observability.

Ok. But that is equally true for any observation. For example, I don't really know that the computer I'm using to write this post actually exists under that proposition, as perhaps by brain is imagining it. So you are really rejecting observations in general here. My point is that given that observations in general are correct, then it is clear that the brain is the cause of consciousness.
Now that we need balls of steel to face the challenges of climate change, all we got were some plastic ones.
Ignorance of the law isn't a valid excuse for individuals is it? So it shouldn't be for companies either.
this is the answer lol

They aren't going to negotiate with the insurance company and then also negotiate some more with the covered party.

Of course, why the insurance company agreed to some ridiculous price is a pretty fair question.
You should have seen the uproar on misc.transport.road when I-99 was designated from the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Bedford to I-80 just north of State College, because 99 was the favorite number of the congressman who sponsored the bill to pay for it.

We just don't have rules that are as deliciously arcane as the UK's for numbering our roads.
I mean literally the commenter listed out places all over the world with a tiny fraction of the resources that don’t have these types of problems and the counter examples are all American cities, it is no secret that US public transit is consistently worse than those practically anywhere else regardless of how proud those people may be.
> Well, idealism simply says that consciousness/humans cannot be understood or explained via simpler concepts. That's the first thing anyone would think of but it is not a useful theory in any way.

It doesn't just naively declare it. It reasons it. Idealism never discouraged scientific research. It's simply identified consciousness as being its own category among a set of other categories of problems. One which is beyond our available tools and methodology. That our scientific zeitgeist chose to ignore those hints and proceeded to waste resources chasing its tail is our current reckoning.

> This second approach have turned out to be very useful for explaining many things. It did not explain consciousness so far but we now have many directions to explore.

What exactly has it yielded? There are few serious physicalist researchers working on consciousness nowadays. Not one person on this planet could tell you anything scientifically meaningful about consciousness. None of the big names, Tononi, Koch, Hameroff, Penrose, Seth, etc. The best you'd get out of them is that we now have even more tools giving us better indications of correlates of consciousness. That is, while they all set out to find answers about the engine, we've actually made tremendous progress on the dials. So I guess we could say that these approaches have been valuable in discovering in practice all the theoretical dead-ends that idealism predicted.

At least idealism is proposing a paradigm shift, consciousness first. Not an unreasonable proposition either, since it's consistent with every constraints set in cognitive science and in physics, with the bonus of solving in the process various philosophical problems about consciousness.

> So while neither position is proven so far, idealism is worse than wrong, it is useless, and if most people believed it, today we would know not much more than ancient Greeks did.

A position taken when you either profoundly misunderstand the philosophy, or when you have no clue how to use insights it gives you. Luckily it's not a universal outlook, since we're obviously now seeing scientists reorienting their research based on those inputs, away from fallacious intuitions.
There’s something very weird about macOS multitasking in general, onedrive and other apps that you’d expect to stay alive always in the background constantly need to be refreshed.
"We haven't discovered any inorganic flying machines, so it isn't a given that we will be able to create them with metal."

Turns out that if you get the structure right you can mimic the effect. Mimic the brain structure in silicon and you will get a similar effect. Just like how birds and airplanes are similar but different.
So far, yes, but Wayland support is a work in progress. It is not the top priority but some people are working on it: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

Absolutely, and that’s how I can see that it has more to do with the form of the letter than the fact that joining without adjustment is impossible.

Anyhow, I doubt we’re going to convince each other here. Since the tool is right there I might just give it a try.
Thank you so much for this! I'm constantly needing to Google for torque specs when I work on my van, and as great as the Odyssey forum is it's really nice to have this. I really appreciate it, personally. I do all my own work, and it would be nice if manufacturers made this information more easy to access for those of us who do.
I didn’t not find it off putting. I found it quirky and less boring.
Any sufficiently large acquisition is indistinguishable from a jobs program.
At this point I'm not sure what we're disagreeing about :)
I remember, back in the last century, a TV station did a test, where they went to a whole bunch of supermarkets, and brought stuff. Some was on sale, some was not.

What they found, was that every (100%) error in price went to the favor of the company. Not one single error was in favor of the customer.

Often, the stores were good about correcting the error, but the cashier could never do it. They always had to go to the service counter.
No idea if they did or not, but one immediate issue is that if anything does go wrong, now you have a nuclear incident as well as a tragedy.
International treaties and environmental protests make that infeasible.

Last month there is a news of a novel discovery of one layer of atomic gold that can act as semiconductor ala graphene hence they called it goldene [1]. This can be really expensive innovation but given the ubiquitous nature of gold in the semiconductor wire bonding industry they might as well use the gold for the IC itself since one layer of atomic gold is puny.

You can buy a soil test kit at your local hardware store. The analysis is not done by the kit though, it's just a collection kit that you send off to an analysis lab.

But this basic concept already exists. Farmers do this extensively.

Were the people with high BMIs actually on a high-fat diet? The premise here is that mice fed a high-fat diet serve as a model for people with a high BMI, but any hypercaloric diet will lead to a high BMI.
It'd do you well to read before making a fool of yourself.

Everyone who's been paying attention to space stuff is aware of the mentioned issues. The fact is that NASA's hands are tied, they literally are not allowed to cancel SLS, as they have been legislated into using it for Artemis by Congress, who wants to keep pumping billions into Boeing. Until Senator Shelby retired a few years ago, NASA was forbidden from even talking about orbital refueling (under threat of having the entire space technology program cancelled), because that'd make the waste of money on SLS unnecessary. They literally redacted the word 'depot' in their public report on the selection of Starship as the primary Artemis lunar lander (despite it being obvious that's what they were referring to).

ULA was coerced by Boeing into dropping orbital refueling capability and the ability to carry Orion from Vulcan's second stage, again, because it'd make SLS unnecessary: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/08/rocket-scientist-say...

Congress is so desperate on forcing SLS to be used, after NASA blindsided them by choosing SpaceX for the first HLS lander (instead of the other two far more expensive, far more technically immature proposals which were designed around tons of waste and possibly using SLS), they tried to make it so the second one had to use SLS, on top of mandating that they would have to launch at least 1 cargo SLS per year, regardless of payload: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/an-alabama-lawmaker-...

The $4B per launch cost comes from a GAO report, it should be emphasized that prior to this report, NASA went out of its way to avoid counting SLS manufacturing costs so that the embarrassment of how wasteful it is would not become obvious: https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/09/nasa-finally-admits-wh...

The optimistically every 2 year launch rate comes from the simple fact that every launch keeps getting pushed back due to manufacturing delays: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/09/lack-of-sls-rockets-...
I love F#, but I swear to god .NET dev's have some type of fundamental confusion when it comes to programming concepts (the exasperation is because I often have to deal with .NET devs given its prevalence in Europe).

F# and Rust are not appropriately or pragmatically comparable. It's like comparing a porsche and a tractor and pointing out they both have doors and engines.

You’re right, I was speaking specifically to euro and Japanese makes (I’m biased toward those makes, so I didn’t even think of qualifying it).

I do a lot of auto work, between restoring cars to repairing my own. But modern fuel injection systems run on a razor’s edge of tolerances and often getting to some part requires dismounting a turbo, which is all sorts of pain in the ass, and not something I’d recommend for an amateur.

But it would constitute nukes in space in a breach of international treaties!

Certainly a NERVA-style rocket engine is not a nuclear bomb, and a few nuclear reactors with known and tightly watched positions won't constitute a threat of a sudden nuclear strike.

But the treaties were made at times when the principal parties, the West and the Soviet bloc, did not trust each other one bit, and rightfully expected sabotage at any smallest loophole. So the treaties are overly tight.

Today's world is about as bad, with a hot war in Europe, and a lot of tensions around Taiwan. No chance that the treaties would be relaxed for mutual good, due to the increased mutual trust.

Breaking a treaty unilaterally just because it's inconvenient is also not great, and would untie the other sides' hands.

That's why we can't have nice things.

/* If you haven't yet, I recommend to read the novel Fiasco by Stanislaw Lem. It describes a civilization where all trust and cooperation are gone, and the planet is in the state of constant creeping war of sabotage. What Earthlings do there is another thing worth reading about. */
Seeing a “median number of speakers” of 10 for Australia is so sobering.
Though there's a sense of the word "dark" that means it's unseen or that we are ignorant of it. Like "to leave someone in the dark", to "go dark" in communication, or a "dark match" in pro-wrestling (it happens but isn't broadcast and doesn't effect storylines).

Might be too much to hope for, but he could just mean it's always dark to us.

Unfortunately you can’t apply your Agile methodologies to UBI. I want to know about every possible tax edge case funding it because inevitably the upper class will find ways around paying for UBI.

You’re totally right about this. I’d say there’s a very wide range of quality between various manufacturers’ FSMs. Toyota ones are great with diagnostic instructions and explicit parameters to match, whereas other brands I’ve leafed through have completely muddy pictures and poor instructions or no figures.

For third parties, I find Bentley manuals to be extremely good and thorough.
>If physicalism is true, then everything that can be observed must reduce to objective third person facts.

You are erroneously equating "physicalism" with "reductive physicalism". It's clear to many of us that qualia are something subjective and non-physical yet emerge from physical processes.
I'm reporting observed reality homeboy. I watched thousands of loans a week get pumped through the system with everything from income verification fields left blank to literally fraudulent (as in the loan officer got tech support on the phone to help them generate random numbers) information get pushed through with zero pushback. A point for you to consider: "non conforming loan" is only a meaningful phrase when the criteria for non conforming loans is actually being verified.
The linked clip is pretty unequivocal, if you watch it. Nelson says: "They are going to have a lander on the far side of the moon, which is the side that is always in dark. We're not planning to go there."
Why? As far as personal anecdotes go for an article against humans controlling natural growth and the normalized casual cruelty of it, it's pretty dang on the nose.

Color me not shocked that an author that is against killing "weeds" and resents the label grew up in an environment where her own flourishing was someone else's pest to be controlled. No clue why that idea resonated with her.

Because most developers are not working around the rule.

Right -- that's what I meant by Kafakesque. Though it's a bit more Brazil than Kafka, I realised after I made a cup of tea.
Not quite the same. Capitalization doesn't add much to languages written with the Latin alphabet. THE ROMANS ONLY VVROTE VVITH CAPITAL LETTERS.

But the Greeks added vowels to the alphabet because Indo-European languages rely a lot on vowels (as opposed to Semitic languages which are easy to understand without vowels).
We are going to The moon for two reasons. First, we want to set up a more permanent base. Nasa refers to this as "we're here to stay"

The second reason we are going to the moon so that we can put the first person of color and the first woman on the moon. That is explicitly an Artemis mission purpose.

Only time will tell if either of these two missions were actually worth it.

One more point

> Early on, SLS designers made the catastrophic decision to reuse Shuttle hardware, which is like using Fabergé eggs to save money on an omelette.

SLS designers did not make the decision to use shuttle hardware per se. SLS was explicitly designed and funded to use that hardware. One of the original purposes of Artemis, before the other two purposes that we see in the media were even decided upon, was to make use of shuttle hardware.

I finally figured it out today, I needed to use the modem port and a another different pinout. I'd been reading about the wrong kaypro before I think. I checked the pins with an oscilloscope and read the manual to figure it out. Pretty satisfying that it's working and it's also nice to finally close up this breakout connector and wire I got a while ago to make the "Kaypro cable".

I have bounced off of Myst so many times. It's just not my thing. I was in 8th grade when it came out, and the majority of my friends liked it, but I solved maybe 3 puzzles before becoming bored. The world felt sterile and uninteresting next to nearly every single adventure game I'd played so far.

As the digital antiquarian is happy to point out, most of the Sierra adventures were poor games, but few were sterile. And the Infocom games were almost overflowing with life.

> The average cost of life flight within the U.S. ranges between $12,000 and $25,000, according to NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners). This is based on a 52-mile trip, which is also the average distance. This figure represents an out-of-pocket cost when not covered by insurance or calculated before an insurance company steps in. International flights can easily cost 3 to 5 times that amount.

In December 2020, Sean Deines was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (a fast-growing blood cancer) and took an air ambulance from Colorado to North Carolina, which also included ground transportation between hospitals and airports. His total bill was $489,000.

This is one of the big problems: if one went without insurance entirely, the hospital may negotiate 50-75% of the inflated charges away for cash on the spot, but with insurance involved, I have no control over the price I pay for that $150 Tylenol, which insurance knocked down to $75. On a HDHP, I'm out that $75, because the hospital 'isn't allowed' to negotiate further after insurance.

An obvious example of this is with prescription drugs. I have a monthly script that is something insane like $250 'U&C' charge, but after insurance, it's $90. However, at a particular pharmacy, with GoodRx, it's $21. Paying 'cash' with GoodRx ends up being the better deal, even though it doesn't count towards my OOP/deductible with the insurance, because I'm not likely to hit that with a HDHP.

Would my total cash outlay for a hospital visit be cheaper without insurance? Maybe, but the fact that I can't determine that upfront unlike what I can do with a script is what is infuriating.
Yes but now we're the economists and the philosophers. And we're dreaming up the ideas.

As I envision it, queer space communism is a communism of post scarcity and intersectional inclusivity, not your great grandpa's communism. It requires us to develop all sorts of new post-economic theories, and it requires us to develop post scarcity production systems, using open source automation.

I generally use GPT-4o for tasks that I know ChatGPT is really good. Basic web dev or infra debugging. I get my answers much faster and they are typically correct.

ChatGPT 4 typically I use when 4o doesn't follow detailed instructions or is producing incorrect answers.
As a kid, mainlining Heinlein, I just assumed we'd have a moonbase by now and that it would be up to something important and useful. In my 20s, I assumed that our then-primitive software engineering techniques would be refined until we could make things that were simple, polished, cheap, and reliable.

So it's a little wild to me to see software not only get more chaotic, but influence hardware as well. All in service to a creeping managerialism that runs on goals that, to the extent they can be articulated at all, get more detached from any sane human purpose.

I know shit about Artemis and would love to believe Maciej is totally wrong here. But it fits with so much of my experience of the world that it seems very believable to me.
Well, you might consider allergy shots for hay fever, that just might fix the OAS too!
I don't think you're reasoning is actually sound here.

Nasa doesn't have the capability today, but that does not mean that the capabilities that they are building for tomorrow are "batshit Insanity". This is a very silly take.
