Yes, except the "Focusing" practice and the last one about the violence.

Attachment is a weird thing, because it usually happens so early in life where there are no memories yet.

However, infants still internalize everything, they can feel, react to the environment and understand consequences of what their feelings tell them. "If I'm scared, then there's a high probability of something bad to be happen to me".

So, there are may not be rational memories to be linked to the problem 20-30 years later in life.

P.S.

Speaking from the personal experience - during the focusing practice I was able to verbally conceptualize these old feelings which became a part of my identity.

In the end, the crux was being an infant, a sensation of being blind, overfocused on touch and sounds, high sensation of exposedness and nakedness, sensation of mother's touch and realisation that she's unable to attune to me emotionally, like it's still a human touch, but similar to touching a stone.

Hence, the futile cry and scream to draw her attention out of fear to be protected.

To paraphraze, it felt like if now, I'd get tied (immobilized), blindfolded and left naked in the night Luisiana swamps.

It's weird, but I think, I actually understood why infants may cry and have a need to be seen and connected to. It seems to be so logical for me nowadays - they are humans too, after all.
It's a pretty good way of preventing bugs actually. It prevents you from accidentally accessing the old value.
A friend who is counselor and head priest at a girls’ Catholic school thinks it’s a large factor behind the childhood obesity epidemic too. Not just sexual abuse but childhood trauma in general leading to food as a coping mechanism.

His offhand theory is that the increase in the prevalence of restaurants and hyperpalatable foods gave people an outlet to feel safe (a third place in public where the whole family goes and acts their best) and the hyperpalatable food gave an easy and cheap dopamine boost during hard times leading to a spiral.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I mean to say there are certain rights we all have, simply for existing as humans. The right to breathe is a good example. No human, state, or otherwise has the moral high-ground to take these rights from us. They are not granted, or given, they are absolute and unequivocal.

It's not rhetoric, it's basic John Locke. Also your trust is an internal locus, and doesn't change the facts.

Switzerland has very high rates of fun ownership, but their laws are far from lax. They are much stricter than the US.

You need a permit to buy anything other than a hunting rifle. You can't buy a gun if you have been convicted of a crime, have an alcohol or drug addiction or express a dangerous attitude.

You generally can't carry a gun except when going to and from hunting or a shooting range and you can't have the gun loaded in transit.

It's also compulsory for most male citizens to learn to handle a gun safely, something which the US doesn't require even if you buy a gun.

Thank you for the feedback. I've updated the paper with some more links.

The language in which the measures are written in (currently called Grammar. I will like rename it to something like Parssers) is quite advanced.

The improvements over Recutils, the closest precursor I am aware of, have now been added.

The PLDB ScrollSet is now about 500,000 cells of information. Each cell is strongly typed and fully auditable by git. There is a high amount of signal in that dataset. It is an intelligent set of weights, and continually getting more intelligent. And it is read at runtime as a single plain text file and compiled to a single CSV (or tsv, json, etc).

All from using the system documented in the paper (and the advanced language for Parsers).

If you can point me to a similar database or similar scale anywhere in the world (plain text base, >10e5 size, git backed, strongly typed, hierarchical and graphical), I would be grateful as I might learn something.

I used to play with this, a long time ago. I set up Apache Nutch on my home Linux Desktop system to crawl about 20 of my favorite and most useful sites. That was fun, and I was playing with some knowledge management ideas.

If I try that again, I would probably use a Hetzner server and not run it at home. I would probably still stick with spidering only about 20 web sites.

Prices in the US were similar.

I remember the Psion series 5mx price was about half the cost of a laptop. The sales clerk in the electronics store tried to convince me to buy a Palm device instead, but I had seen a Psion series 5mx while in Europe and knew what I wanted.

Attempt to launch a $1 web links hosting project. Yes or Time waste
Link organization is a mess. There are amazing tools already out there.

The other day I went around and was exploring some sites, all are good but something i wanted was my links to also say what they do, like a mini description but without the clutter, plus the itch to try and make my own plus I wanted a description of my links.

I went to linktree and saw selena gomez and pharell's linktree, thought I could make a project my own and help with hundred people up with V1.0, plus making it a Pay What You Can Model instead of forced paywalls.
So no payment until you can/wish to, and after that it's $1/month.

Think of it more as a small project around my digital friends.

Im in final stages of first mvp, maybe a few more weeks before soft launch.

TLDR; Some features:
- USP : links, but each with a description, so your users/potential buyers are guided better.
- Minimalist : black and white template style.
- 1 Profile Picture
- upto 250 links per user [to your socials or stores or onlyfans, whatever]
- limited signups due to the very nature of the business model and initial load capacity to keep costs low since its not any VC backed but just the guys who are gonna use it.
- I will be adding more features, over time depending on mass feedback from its people and how they use it and their feedback in discord. (i like to call 'users' as 'people', coz people are using it not just any users)

Some things, as founder of this:
- I want to keep it a small mini project, like with a few hundred users at best, catering and listening to them, coz i dont want to be a VC backed startup later down the road.
- ATM, i've set up a discord, so if you're interested to try it out, please let me know in the comments. :D

My goal in mind is just to cater a 100 people, help them with their link organizations and a place they can host in simple and easy manner.

Q. Who is this for?
R. In my mind, this is not for people who are already at 100k+ followers, but more who are my Struggling brothers and sisters, who i believe will make it one day, so everything is kinda free only tbh.

So,
What do you guys think of it? Should I go with it or is it a time waste?

> Most — though admittedly not all — comets originating from the Oort cloud usually end up being duds. Typically, as these comets cross the orbit of Mars, their steady brightening trend starts to falter, similar to a marathon runner at the 20-mile mark; "hitting the wall" so to speak. In the case of a comet having emerged from the Oort cloud, a sudden decline in brightening may be signaling that it ultimately will end up underperforming.

I'm also not sure I agree that a system with this amount of leeway (anyone can invite you onto the system and it asks nothing of who you are) is comparable to a system where your landlord gets to say how you must behave in frivolous detail. All it wants from you is to not promote spam. Furthermore, physically moving to another landlord, who in such a scenario would want to get a reference, is a whole other ordeal compared going online and asking one of any number of people you're close to for a code that takes them 5 seconds to generate
Yeah, I cringed when I read the GPL sentence. We get it, Dell. You want a free OS that you have no obligation to contribute any changes back to. Fine. But acting like a GPL-based OS is somehow less secure because people are obligated to share their improvements back to the project is asinine.

Hello, the maker here. I wondered where all this traffic came from. Thanks for posting and if you have any questions feel free to shoot them my way.
Anyone who owns a Tesla and has used the new V12.3 understands why Elon is so bullish about the Robo-Taxi's. He's said they've internally seen a 5x-10x reduction in disengagements on 12.4 (already trained, out soon), and that 12.5 is even better. Their GPU stack by end of the year will also be 8x the size it was earlier this year. Combine all this together, and the "feedback loop" with millions of people using FSD, it's looking like the "vision only" strategy will work.

My question is what happens to all other car markers if it turns out Elon and Andrej Karpathy's strategy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM23sjhtk4Q) is the correct one?
I find it funny to think back to the fervor of comments on HN a year ago about Tesla doubling down on vision only and how this would prove to be dangerous and ineffective. A year has gone by and not only have we not seen the catastrophe that was thought to be inevitable, but Autopilot has gotten leaps and bounds better. I use it every day and over the past few months it's gotten so good that there are few scenarios where I ever intervene, and when I do, it's because it's always because it's being a little too slow/hesitant for me at an intersection. I'm not a Musk fan one bit, but I see this as evidence that the popular narrative has diverged wildly from the reality of Tesla's product.
So this article isn't truthful then, or you'd just like us to have a vague distrust of Gizmodo and the article is true?

> How do we reduce the possibility this happens again? Regardless of how correct the Starbucks’ employees actions were in asking a non paying person to leave, and regardless of the fact that it is police who arrest people, not Starbucks employees, the event may have contributed to Starbucks’ executives concluding that the cost of providing the third place is not worth the benefit.

That would be bad reasoning on Starbucks’s part. The problem that led to the liability was treating managers differently based on race, unrelated to the original trigger. Starbucks reasons better than that, and indeed as I note later in this comment, they have made no overall decision to stop being a third place.

> Looking at this another way, coffee and sugary drinks are a fungible commodity. If Starbucks is removing third places, why is there no competitor stepping in with a third place and taking their business?

These do exist. I’ve used them. And Starbucks still accommodates the third place usage pattern in many places inside and outside the US, including ones where lawsuits are a risk. They make a site-specific decision on what’s worth the tradeoff for them, not a nationwide or global decision.

Experts at the time knew what Musk was saying was nonsense, so I think "charlatan" is exactly the right word here.

I'm not moving goalposts. I'm refusing to accept the verifiably false statements about web's suitability for app UIs.

To repeat my statement: UI didn't suddenly appear in 2024 out of nowhere. We know what an app UI looks like. And the anemic "flexbox is good for most apps" is verifiable bullshit. This is the constructive criticism.

Edit. Also the sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40440939
No. It is easy because:

* The environment for top-level definitions in the file is almost identical to REPL. I.e. there's not much special about a file, thus you don't need a context of a file to submit a new definition.

* Symbols provide an indirection mechanism which isn't tied to a specific location.

* CLOS actually put a lot of effort into doing something reasonable on redefinition.

Python module system is based on dicts. While it would seem like it would be easy to manipulate in runtime, module 's dicts are constructed by module-level import statements, and re-constructing the right state of all modules after an update might be tricky.

OTOH if you update symbol's function in CL, every user of that symbol will pick up the new definition. It's also more performant than dicts: caller has a pointer to a symbol and needs to do just one indirection, there's no lookup at runtime.

It does exist, it is just incredibly painful to use -- it's a raw SQL dump of each individual page, which is missing some of the dynamically generated parts of the page you might care about (like categories, unless you separately download that table too). You also have to then run it through wiki software locally if you want the rendered page instead of markup.

Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful that the Wikipedia team offers this, and I am grateful they give anything at all for offline usage. It just feels like it's intended more as a side product of their backup process, rather than something you're really supposed to use.
