I said that because it replaced AE in my own professional work, which includes motion graphics and VFX work for nearly a decade as well.

Maybe it depends on your specific niche, but the number of jobs where I had to use AE has been zero for the past 3 years. Blender is known as a modelling or 3D-VFX/Animation tool, but if you are good at it, with all its constraints, python support etc. it is truly worth trying for 2D as well. Tracker is better as well.
> There currently appears to be an emphasis on CO2 as a particularly Bad Thing, but the research in this paper suggests that CO2 is less of an issue

Research as recent as 2020 indicates that CO2 does not effect things like cognitive functions:

> Poor indoor air quality indicated by elevated indoor CO2 concentrations has been linked with impaired cognitive function, yet current findings of the cognitive impact of CO2 are inconsistent. This review summarizes the results from 37 experimental studies that conducted objective cognitive tests with manipulated CO2 concentrations, either through adding pure CO2 or adjusting ventilation rates (the latter also affects other indoor pollutants). Studies with varied designs suggested that both approaches can affect multiple cognitive functions. In a subset of studies that meet objective criteria for strength and consistency, pure CO2 at a concentration common in indoor environments was only found to affect high-level decision-making measured by the Strategic Management Simulation battery in non-specialized populations, while lower ventilation and accumulation of indoor pollutants, including CO2, could reduce the speed of various functions but leave accuracy unaffected. Major confounding factors include variations in cognitive assessment methods, study designs, individual and populational differences in subjects, and uncertainties in exposure doses. Accordingly, future research is suggested to adopt direct air delivery for precise control of CO2 inhalation, include brain imaging techniques to better understand the underlying mechanisms that link CO2 and cognitive function, and explore the potential interaction between CO2 and other environmental stimuli.

You may wish to measure other things if you're worried about health:

Measuring CO2 can perhaps be a convenient metric on how good the circulation in your living space is as a proxy for other things that are harder to measure: so if you move air to lower CO2, you're probably helping reduce numbers for other things as well.

Simply being connected to mobile (or wifi) network is enough to get your location - sometimes with pretty good precision.

So if you're worried about NSA or the like - you better not have a mobile phone/device (or a car - because new cars sold in EU all have eSIM for builtin emergency calls) at all.

And for particular first hand example - Xplora smart watch/phone got super confused when my kids school physically moved.

New building has indoor sports/gym (I think it's basketball court size) on the top floor - and all the reinforced concrete means mobile reception can be hit and miss (even on 3/4G).

Despite phone/watch never connecting to school (staff only) wifi. After move to new building - watch and parent app would regularly think/bounce location between old and new school buildings.

When even 3rd party companies have a mapping between wifi/ssid and approximate geo location, you can imagine state sponsored actors have at least next order of magnitude.

Right, my argument is that simply removing the limit doesn't make it "not a problem." You've just removed the common way of telling if it's a problem.

As others have pointed out, time and mental attention become the cost when you remove physical space from the equation.

My point is that there is no such regulation. But anything that used to be military and sold to civilian usage would qualify. Very common in Eastern Europe, though most of the vehicles of the Cold War have rusted by now.
(I've got the cabin fever today I think. This is as good a time and place as any to set this down...)

I believe that "we are not physical beings having spiritual experiences, we're spiritual beings having a physical experience", and so the lives we lead are not random, rather they are tailored (by angels?) to each soul to give it the experiences it needs to grow.

When Attenborough wonders at the cruelty of a God who would let e.g. a fly larva eat a child's eye, from my POV the real question (that I do not particularly want answered, because it scares me) is what mistakes did that soul make to get to the place where having such a terrible experience was the medicine it needs?

A devotee of Sai Baba wrote a book where she tells of seeing a woman holding her sick child and wondering why Baba didn't just miraculously heal the child, and later receiving a vision of the two souls in a previous lifetime where they had been a corrupt judge and his bailiff and together caused great suffering. To experience a life as a helpless mother and sick child was the medicine those souls needed to understand the consequences of their choices.

At this point I feel it's important to point out that reincarnation is common to all the major religions, including Christianity. Reincarnation was excised from Christian knowledge centuries after Christ, but they folks who did it didn't go so far as to edit it out of Jesus' own words, and He states clearly that Elijah and John the Baptist are the same soul.

Anyway, it seems clear to me that for many souls knowledge of Chi in their current lifetimes is not part of the educational curriculum.

However, I could be wrong about all that, and even if not there are presumably souls who are supposed to learn about Chi in this lifetime, so I bring it up from time to time.

The cash rate is similar to insurance negotiated rates. Typically 25-30% off automatically, 50-100% off with a financial aid application. Doesn’t change the inadequacy of $30k medical liability in a serious wreck, but don’t think you’re stuck with list price bills if you’re hit by an underinsured driver and have no health insurance.
That's interesting. I never had a problem ploughing through Pynchon, and as I mentioned I bounced off Ulysses in my early 20s. I am right now in the last pages of my 1st reread of Gravity's Rainbow. I have to say I prefer Joyce now. And I think I liked my recent read of Against the Day over GR, an unexpected development.

Gotta say though, GR is still awesome. Fearless.

YC helped fund/promote Palantir, the dystopian surveillance company.

The Iraq war defense contractor boom pumped tons of money into pro-war entities and this is just the result of that capital finding its way into new ventures. Ideology comes along for the ride. It's the very definition of dystopian, government propaganda and big-lie-driven malinvesment and (in hindsight) massive financial fraud on taxpayers.

I'm personally shocked that PG touches any of this dirty money. When is enough enough?
I've re-read The Fountainhead about a dozen times and find a few new gems each time I go through it.
I hear you , but that doesn't seem to pass the smell test.

The vast majority (97% ?) of voters are low-information voters. 1 such vote is equal to 1 high information vote (3% ?), those who research, read bills, etc.

So the process is already not maximally equitable - in fact, the system severely punishes high information voters via opportunity cost.

At that point dollars positively affect your outcome because with paid mediums , low information voters can now get more information, despite being unwilling to inform themselves via hard work. So that's a benefit.
That information flow is subject to competition, so the best ideas (and information) will win out. That's another plus. Money competes for eyeballs, and your dollars are just as good as mine. If you have more $$, i can pool my friends and beat you. There's nothing more equitable than that we have discovered so far.

Now, enter someone with a ton of money, Musk. You could argue that he would tilt the game. But we then observe the opposite: Billionaires are also subject to the law of diminishing returns. 'Donations' will only buy so much favor, and then they become a losing proposition. So, do you want a billionaire burning his cash in the political process? The answer is absolutely: it signals a level of credibility and conviction, when business opportunity is already a loser.

So in short, you want people to risk all their chips in something they believe, instead of limiting their bets and just get rich off the house, playing the long game .

Perhaps we start from the other side of the table. Maybe money is not the problem. Perhaps it is the power concentrated in too few individuals ?
How about cutting off power from those that are selling favors to the highest bidders ?

Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking

I find a lot of my successes are driven by building powerful and convincing narratives about my own life and circumstances. Unfortunately, the anti-smoking messaging that comes form every website, doctor and other resource all parrots the same tired arguments I had been hearing since the 90's. My earnest efforts to find new perspectives hit the same wall of propaganda every time. This book offered me multiple new perspectives, it relieved me of the shame placed on me by other resources and social stigmas, and it acted as an upbeat and optimistic cheerleader.

I quit 7 years ago when I finished the book and haven't had the urge to smoke since.

Looking over this list it seems like this is mainly for bulking protein (sold in larger volumes).

Taste is a big factor, as well as how it makes you feel. Some brands "go down" better than others. How the protein is made/filtered/etc can also have an impact on the quality of what you get.

Then of course there is flavorings etc.

In general, I've heard it said that if "lifestyle" protein is what you are looking for, you're gonna shop for quality not for quantity.

If you are bulking and you need 250g+ protein per day... then you buy what fits your budget and you can hold down. ;)

Diaspora by Greg Egan. No other book has caused such a seismic shift in how I think about consciousness, personhood, continuity of self, the enormity of the universe, and practicalities of galactic timescales. It also triggered quite a few existential crises (which nearly goes without saying, given all that).
My personal opinion is most software will be easy to write by a junior programmer. There will still be high paid roles, but this will be a low paid profession. Web development, UI, etc will be heavily automated with LLMs. You will guide the model in building the software. It's already this way using cursor.sh, most people just havent realized it yet.
Great book. Some other historical fiction recommendations:

- The "Welsh Princes" series by Sharon Kay Penman (same era, different perspective)

- Doomsday Book by Connie Willis (Black Death)

- The "Grail Quest" series by Richard Cornwell (Hundred Years War)

- The "Last Kingdom" series, also by Cornwell (Viking invasion, Alfred the Great)
Most of the runoff probably ends up far enough away from your house that it doesn't harm you. Again: its very different from power-plant contamination: its radioactivity is diminishing very quickly.

If you were lucky enough that your home was not covered in lethal levels of fallout, then it is likely that all the land within miles of your home is similarly safe, so you can range around looking for water, and most people can survive without eating (or eating only what food they happened to have around at the time of the attack) for a few weeks. It wouldn't be pleasant, of course (and I sure would prefer to be in a fallout shelter pre-stocked with food and water when the attack happens) but the point is that many people would survive even in the countries that were attacked.

There's probably enough food in the US right now (mostly intended to be fed to farm animals, mostly stored on farms) to feed half of the US population. 2 weeks after the attack, it starts to makes sense for altruistically-inclined people (particularly if they have a Geiger counter) to load such food (along with a mill with which to turn it into flour -- also a common item stored on farms) on a truck and take it to where hungry people are. Old people are a good fit for this task: if you are 60 years old, then the prospect of developing cancer in 20 or 30 years is not exactly pleasant, but not particularly scary either.

How does one “demand better” from a handful of giant corporations? Did you personally negotiate that plan with your phone operator?

Besides that, neither tethering (for reasons other than cost, mentioned above) nor international roaming (increased latency) are a perfect replacement for fast local Wi-Fi at this point.
Even if you do have cash to purchase a 6 figure vehicle without financing, getting financing or leasing often makes some sense. And very few people want to not carry collision insurance on a new car even if they paid cash for it.

Never .unwrap / panic !

Use clippy to check your code.

My assumption is that’s due to the use case benefits for it.

More concurrency is not always ideal, especially if you’re not in an environment that guarantees you won’t have negative impacts or runaways process (BEAM languages, etc).

Rails projects are typically so hardwired to use a background queue like Sidekiq that it becomes very natural to delegate most use cases to the queue.

Where are the Financial Bots? Or Good Guy Bots?

I hear about Russian Bots, China Bots, Iranian Bots, all trying to sway elections.

If people are so easily swayed by talking to bots, aren't there more applications than just elections. And why don't I hear more reporting about it.

If elections can be swayed, then I'd think sentiment about any individual company could be swayed before a trade. It is probably illegal, but that hasn't stopped investors before. Is anybody reporting on finding sentiment swaying in the wild?

For Good. I don't think there is any money in it. But is anybody using Bots for Good? Actually in the wild.

Generally I'm wondering about what is actually happening right now. Not what is theorized. I know there was a study that bots could de-condition radicals, but is anybody actually doing it.

Is there anyplace reporting on bot usage outside of election tampering. Or radicalizing for clicks. Something more subtle.

Most modern MOS circuits are no longer designed to last 50 years, unlike most integrated circuits and discrete semiconductor devices of 50 years ago. There is no chance for any up-to-date CPU or memory module to work for 50 years.

Nevertheless, it is quite easy to be able to use a modern computer for 50 years, if you just get 10 computers that do not contain components that age even when they are not used, e.g. batteries or electrolytic capacitors, and you use one computer until it breaks, keeping the others in storage until you must replace the current work computer.

Such a set of modern computers would be faster, cheaper and smaller than a single computer in the style of PDP-11 or VAX, made by using low-density components that can work for 50 years.

Picking a "favorite" is generally hard. I once learned that the best way to phrase this question is in the form of e.g. "What are some of your favorite books?" so the responder doesn't have to force rank their all-time-favorite in their head, which can feel taxing. So I'll name two:
