- Needed a custom kernel to get the pen (or was it touch) working?
- No good note taking applications (eg OneNote competitor)
- Notably latency on the pen.
- The first distro I attempted to install didn't work. (Manjaro?)

> Explain to me what makes them faceless and detached from the situation?

The fact that they’re not there.

The idea that the same speed is appropriate at 9am when kids are crossing the street going to school and 2am when there’s noone there and no cars parked on the side of the road, is insane beyond belief.

Speed limits are generally repressive and mostly just a tax collection scheme (though I strongly support most daytime city speed limits!)

> But people can have more or less awareness of their thoughts, and they can be having thoughts that they don’t consider to be thoughts.

Yes, that is my experience. If I try not to have thoughts, then what happens is not that thoughts stop happening, it's that I stop noticing them until they're more fully developed. This "not noticing" results in a relative lack of remarks upon those thoughts, but the thoughts themselves are not made of or depending on language. They just are things. Technically, they are "derived meaning".

When on psychedelics I can have thoughts that not only don't depend on language, but don't have language. It's not possible to describe them because they represent indescribable things. It's possible to feel them and interact with them in a way that seems to makes sense to me, but it's not possible to communicate them. If I try, they can actually result in words being generated, but those words sound like a bad phone autocomplete - stuff like "can have a haves and take a three sixteenth quarters" (real excerpt from a past trip).

(My guess is that my brain has some sort of internal format that real-world concepts are translated into in order to be operated on. That's the "meaning" that gets derived. I wonder if psychedelics allow me to create or perceive meanings that no real-world concept would ever actually translate into, and therefore don't have any way to communicate as a real-world concept.)

> I am doubtful that anyone can truly stop thinking.

This statement is a perfect example of benrutter's point:

> - We all secretly believe that deep down, everyone experiences thought like we do.

Don't be so sure that nobody has thoughts that can truly stop, even just for a short time.

> The multi-billion dollar loans from the IMF and World Bank have these countries over a barrel, and if they try to change the status quo, they will be sent back to the dark ages instantly.

Botswana, the best-governed country in Africa, has managed its economy well enough to never need an IMF bailout. Meanwhile, Ghana has gone begging for IMF bailouts 17 times [1]. If the Ghanaian leaders (voted in by citizens) weren't perpetually inept, the country wouldn't constantly go to the IMF with begging plates.

Because Equitoreal Guinea is run by a comical dictator who lives lavishly while most of his citizens live in penury. Of course, he doesn't want foreigners to see the mess he oversees.

As an African (Nigerian to be specific), I'm actually tired of foreigners always finding excuses for our problems. It's condescending to assume we have no agency, and everything bad that happens to us is the fault of some foreign boogeymen.

Flow of Traffic vs Speed Limit Dangers

Many believe the myth that as long as we’re going with the flow of traffic, we’re not doing anything wrong. It makes sense– everyone else is going the same speed, so why shouldn’t you? There’s no way a cop could pull you over if you’re just going with the speed of traffic. Wrong.

If you argue that you were just driving with the flow of traffic, then you are essentially admitting to speeding. Other people breaking the law does not justify you breaking the law.
DARPA provided my company with a Connection Machine 1, that was the early SIMD architecture, not the later MIMD architecture. I had a Star Lisp simulator running on Common Lisp that I could use for software development and then I had to travel to the physical location of the CM-1 to actually use it. I regret that I have misplaced Danny Hillis’s Connection Machine book.

I have always been just a programmer but I have worked with hardware people who designed fast, for the time, hardware for me to run backprop neural networks in the 1980s. Fast forward to modern times and I am fascinated by projects like Groq that greatly speed up LLM inferencing.

Similarly Hillis has created or touched many fascinating projects in his career.
Companies have decided that some markets aren't worth the headache since forever. Countries have fine-tuned their laws to be more or less open to foreign products since forever.

Don't even bother with that ultimatum. Hoping unfunded mandates will squeeze blood out of the corpo stone no longer works. It's cultural at this point - they'll spend more money fighting any regulation than it would have cost to just implement.

Government is already large enough that it's straightforward to create municipal bonds to build out municipal fiber, which are then paid back by subscription fees. I've got municipal fiber and my Internet access is now just a solved problem - no contract, fixed price, no throttling, no caps, symmetric. Let "AT&T" compete with that in areas where it makes sense for them to, after everyone has straightforward access via basic public infrastructure.
I have concluded that smaller is better and straightforward is better. I think it’s easier to scale up a small system than to maintain a complex system that was built for scale from the ground up but usually got some things wrong because the requirements at the time weren’t clear.

But in the end there is never a clear answer. I am happy when people can explain what the positives and also the drawbacks of a design are. Pointing at “best practice” without explaining pros and cons is usually a big red flag.

> discontinuities like beating traffic lights

Sometimes you beat them, sometimes you don't. It's not always in your favor, it averages out.
For me it's an analytical process: I start by a round object ("ball") and try to figure out how the lines should be so that it can fit together. I remember (barely in my case, but that's because I'm not that into sport) that there is a difference between a football and a basketball, the football has pentagons and hexagons and the basketball has bigger shapes. I also remember the color, but not as picture, but as word, say "brown".

All this together and a bunch of more subconscious processing will result in a very bad picture of a basketball which wouldn't win a prize and probably would fail us another round of "guessing the picture".

OTOH, tell me about the structure of a house and how long something is, I can probably wind up a good 3d picture and even tell you how to walk around in the house. Maybe best described as "blueprint recognition".
That's my main gripe about JS ecosystem. Most of the times, I only need to compile a project (either live or as a static asset).

Only on some older hardware really, pretty dumb optimization from clang, people writing SIMD probably already know this trick and have a version of sqrt that is exactly this, so going behind their backs and forcing it when they requested sqrt_ps is very uncool.

> There was the recent case of the company that owns the rights to Dr. Suess choosing not to publish old versions of books they felt had racist depictions.

This is actually exactly why I agree with OP. See also the changes made to Roald Dahl books. Future generations deserve to be able to read the content that their forebears produced as they produced it.

I'm supportive of an author's right to not initially publish something that they at the time are uncomfortable with being made public. There should be protections for that. But once something has entered into the public consciousness in a particular form, I'm not okay with a cultural censorship wave being able to memory hole the original copy and replace it with a sanitized version (or wipe it out entirely). They shouldn't be obliged to print content that they find objectionable, but that content needs to be accessible or we lose our history.

Messy and uncomfortable as it is, future generations have a right to see us as we were and are, not as the second-generation holder of our too-long copyright wishes we had been.

I think they don't mean it in the literal "you physically can't tell the direction of charge at all" sense.

As you say, the very fact that we know the real direction counters that. They mean that within the abstract context of electronics presented in introductory physics, the real direction of charge doesn't matter and cannot be determined. As long as you pick one consistent convention and stick to it, the math will always work out the same, since depending on convention, all the directions and signs are equally flipped. The real direction of charge only matters when you get deep into the details (eg semiconductors).

At the level of detail of introductory physics, it's effectively a symmetry, similar to how given the simultaneous flipping of charge, parity and time, you cannot tell the difference.

Samsung SPH-i300
In the hands of ordinary users by
2000 or 2001.

No keyboard, no numpad, no d-pad, color touch screen, home screen with a grid of 3rd party app icons, even internet so those apps even include email and web browser.

So it was very much a smartphone like today, not just a palm pda, and one in the all-screen form not the Treo/Blackberry form.

The specs and tech are all 7 years earlier because the device is 7 years earlier. Neither Apple nor Android invented that screens got better and cell networks got 3g in that time etc.

All Apple did was have Steve's high standards to produce a product that didn't look and feel like every other normal silver painted plastic product (including the i300), with 7 years later tech.

That is something, and even something significant, but to try to say that Android is a stolen product is ridiculous, unless you want to say it was stolen from Samsung! But it wasn't stolen from them either. It just wasn't a new or unique idea in general by then. Devices with OS's and interfaces like that had already existed for many years, they just weren't phones simply because the cell network itself didn't exist yet.

The question about visualising three dimensional objects is fascinating to me. Because my answer has changed radically in the last five or so years, and I'm not a young person!

I used to consider myself 3D-impaired -- unable to maintain and rotate a 3D image in my head, which also made 3D software frustrating. (I also have, it turns out, some binocular vision issues and some other mild cognition weirdness).

But a few years back I started on a hobby project, and I started to assemble my own DIY kit (because the commercial stuff is too expensive). To do that I had a lot of mental puzzles to try to solve.

Then I decided the best way forward was a 3D printer so I tried to find 3D tools that would work for me on even a basic level -- OpenSCAD, CadQuery, FreeCAD etc.; as many different ways to approach the problem as would shed light on ways to think about it.

I'm no longer really an OpenSCAD person but once my first successful models came out of my printer, my brain was changed forever, and now I visualise mechanisms in my head.

(One of the most powerful things I have learned about how to imagine any man-made, real world object, is to imagine the tools making it.)
