This is I think one useful take away from the article... on the other hand...

> “A lot of us spend a lot of time trying to optimize the objective reality of our lives,” he told me. “But we don’t spend a lot of time and effort trying to optimize where our minds go.”

I'm so sorry but I refuse to take this seriously. The modern day obsession with optimization is off the rails and honestly is probably the thing that makes most people miserable. My man lost respect with that line of thinking.

But I don't know mind wandering/daydreaming is pretty lit. I like the distraction. Yeah, sometimes it can be a not very positive experience but I feel like these researchers either fail to address or don't discuss the distinction between daydreaming and anxious thought.
I would kinda expect REST framework to be able to generate Swagger (aka OpenAPI) definitions out of the box. That's one of the killer features of FastAPI in my opinion.

Also, I don't really understand what is the reason for creating your own ORM instead of integrating with, let's say diesel.rs [0] and what is the reason for inventing your own template language instead of just picking one of the most popular existing template engines [1].

Other than that this project looks really interesting and I will definitely keep an eye on it.

> With the PinePhone modem.. It was quickly found that the Quectel modem ran a stripped down version of Android on its ARM core, with adb shell available over the modem’s USB interface. When a few adventurous hackers started probing it and got shell access, they found tools like ffmpeg, vim, gdb and sendmail compiled in – certainly not something you’d need on a cellular modem, but hey.
Impressive launch, good luck and happy coding!
I don't think there is, or should be, a way to do that. Granular copying of per-process resource state seems like a need that would be better served at either a closer-to-the-program layer (i.e. debug hooks in code you control that provide information on how to reconstruct its state) or much further away (e.g. via CRIU/whole-machine snapshots or scary tricks like SIGSTP or ptrace-injecting calls to fork(2)).

> I can be left unable to do certain things

Most of what I can imagine of "certain things" falls into two categories: debugging (for which much better tools exist), or concerns that would be better served by a program providing an API of some kind rather than "go muck with state in $TMPDIR".

It's a Oxford’s Keto for ADHD & Depression Randomized Controlled Trial

My personal story is with psychosis which is as severe a mental illness as there can be - and I'm very thankful there are doctors and researchers out there battling all the misinformation about metabolic therapies.

People have different brain structures, but all brains are composed of cells and cells depend on their normal metabolic pathways to do their job.

I actually took dopamine reducing drugs for more than 20 years and I do know from personal experience how these drugs mess up people's lives.

So, yes I'm following a ketogenic therapy to, via metabolic normalization, regulate my dopamine pathways, and after 20+ year of misery I finally feel like I have a brain and a life.

I hope everyone has the chance to benefit from this research as I am benefiting, because I do know how painful it is to be prescribed these drugs for life.

Working that schedule? It was great for some stuff (going out Fridays) but bad for others. For example I was taking night classes at the time and constantly had to beg for help with coverage because 7pm is not early enough release to make it to most night classes, which tend to begin then or a little earlier. I also didn't get to see my wife as much because she worked first shift, so only we had breakfast and an hour before bed on M-W.

It was definitely much better than 11p-7a Sat-Wed which I had worked immediately before that.
I use Anki (the most popular SRS program) daily and recommend to anyone that will listen. But I think there are three points worth making about it:

1. Many people use SRS without realizing it. Many language learning apps just build the principles of spaced repetition into the software without explicitly mentioning it. As such, it's worth remembering that the spacing effect is a scientific phenomenon, while spaced repetition is the implementation of tools to apply it, typically via spaced repetition software (SRS.)

The concept of the spacing effect seems pretty straightforward and easy to understand, but for whatever reason there is a gap between that and the "optimal" method implemented by SRS apps.

2. The software tends to be ugly and/or too complicated to use. I like Anki and appreciate the developer making it so accessible, but let's be honest: it looks like a piece of software from 1995. This scares away a lot of people that would otherwise be interested (I have personal experience with this, unfortunately.)

3. The recurring meme that "SRS is only for memorization, and I don't need to memorize things / memorization is an outdated learning method." This has been argued against (and debunked, IMO) multiple times, but the meme persists.

I suppose this is a failure of those marketing SRS to effectively teach interested parties more about memorization and why it's so critical for learning, because every time a topic comes up about Anki/SRS, this same debate appears, every time.

Got it. I just want to clarify that I'm not someone who thinks all my ideas are always right, so I hope there’s no misunderstanding. Also, could you provide links to the libraries you mentioned? Of course, I’m always eager to study more about areas I’m not familiar with. This project is primarily focused on performance, after all, so I’d appreciate it if you could share them.

I also agree that optimizing the canvas for GPU usage is something that definitely requires more research. Since I plan to add more plants and animals, it will be crucial moving forward.

Thanks again for your valuable input!
Let's say that's true.

The article (?) only claims that it's because of 20% of slackers. As JohnFen said in a peer comment, that may be a wash. They're the 20% you want to fire anyway.

But let's say it's not just those 20%. Let's say that everyone is somewhat less productive when WHF.

OK, but we can still make a deal. You, the company, let us, the non-slacker employees, work from home, for the same money as working in the office. We also get not having to spend the commute time (which was, essentially, unpaid work time). You get the ability to run the same business with a much smaller office, which saves a huge amount of money.

This makes me wonder, what will happen to all the data centers and more importantly the GPU's inside these data centers if and when the bubble bursts.

GPU are already the easiest parts to change or throw out, and i fear that they would all be turned into e-waste once demand for them goes down.

The fact nvidia banned the us of conusmer grade GPU in ai training doesnt bode well either once demand begins to fall down.

We dont even need to be in a bubble, everytine a hot new gpu is released, we couks see hundreds to thousands of A100's getting thrown out.

> at least a few years until competitors arrive in force

Nobody, and I mean nobody, will be able to compete the SpaceX on cost to orbit. Every other space company is screwed from purely a pricing perspective. Of course there are national security concerns in other countries, and R&D will continue, but commercially nobody will compete on the launch price.

If you mean just simply a Starlink competitor, that seems possible, but SpaceX can certainly launch satellites cheaper than what they will charge companies to do so. At what point does this become an anti-trust issue?
I once read a great foreword to a novel lamenting the loss of "good bad books", citing Dracula as an example.

>> I’ve been constantly impressed with their ability to absorb, understand, and describe highly technical work in legalese (and yes the language is sometimes performative and can sound funny to engineers).

This is one of the saddest aspects: so much high-value effort and skill towards an end that, in the whole, I view as a massive drain and retardant on human development.

Reducing Slack's memory footprint (2017)
Basically no programming language is an infix-only-notation language. Most programming languages are using mixed notation: prefix, infix and possibly postfix. In most languages function calls are prefix. For a subset of functions there are infix operators: a + b, instead of +(a,b). For control flow many programming languages use a more elaborate syntax.

The usual mathematical notation is two-dimensional. Fractions are written a / b and

a
-
b

Also think of square roots and all kinds of other mathematical notation.

When I verbalize a * (b + c) as a natural language expression then it is:

Multiply a with the sum of b and c.

The operators are prefix.

In German:

Multipliziere a mit der Summe aus b und c.

in Lisp:

(* a (+ b c))

or

(* a
(+ b c))

or

(* a
(+ b
c))

or

(* a (+ b
c))

or

(*

a

(+

b
c))

The latter, more random layout, will not be used by Lisp programmers, because it does not follow the usual layout rules. But it is possible, since the layout of the lists is not significant in Lisp.

A pretty printer in Lisp is a function, which takes an expression and writes it in some layout. Thus Lisp can generated 2d-layouts of expressions. Most Lisp-supporting editors can indent or even layout Lisp expressions. This helps Lisp developers using a common layout of code, supported by the tools.

It actually is incredibly human-centered, to the point that humans were made in _his_ image and the Sun is supposed to turn _around_ the Earth.

But all this makes sense when you realize it’s a primitive human myth made by primitive people with limited understanding of the universe and the world around them.

I think this is an instance where, to crib a phrase from the golang world, "share memory by communicating" (i.e. programs that need to support this kind of intervention should provide some form of API) is more appropriate than "communicate by sharing memory" (mucking about with programs' runtime state in tmpfs).

I replied to your similar comment upthread as well.
How is Claude refusing to translate it significant? Ex: did it help you find the post?

Yes, I was thinking of adding a shorthand for that. Will add something soon!
I think this is why Christians posit that the Creator actually entered into humanity, so we could understand--or at least be as much less wrong in our speculations as we can handle, small as we are.

They even got as far as describing God as "uncaused causality" centuries ago, which lined up pretty well with the translation of the name God reportedly gave one of their forbearers from a burning bush, "I am who am," or colloquially, "I'm the one who just is. I am being-itself, not contingent in any way, outside your concepts of 'before' or 'contingent upon.'"
That's a different argument than what started this thread. Cheating administrators have nothing to do with whether that question is ambiguous or not.

Feymann seems more understandable. He wanted to understand everything from first principles and derive it all himself, and spent a lifetime doing so, building himself up. He developed a huge repertoire of insights and mathematical tricks/approaches that could be brought to bear on whatever he put his mind to... It seems like he trained his mind to become what it was. The end result was of course incredible, and he would instantly or within hours see solutions to problems that colleagues had been stuck on for months.

Feynmann, like von Neumann, also seems more approachable/understandable in that he wasn't just operating at genius level, but was also a regular fun loving guy (strip clubs, bongo drums, safe hacking and all). Von Neumann and some of his Hungarian peers were famously referred to as "The Martians", but it's really Ramanujan who seems like the alien.
you still need the resources to go through the courts though. This closes out the option for almost all.
It’s strange. At a previous job I was 100% wfh. At my current job I am 20% wfh and 80% in office.

Pretty sure my wfh days now are less productive than when I was 100% wfh.

I think it’s just that I find it harder to build up and maintain habits for just one day per week.

This assertion needs a lawsuit and deep pockets. Most startups will not be able to do this.

Infact the patent holder can file a lawsuit against a startup. Now even if the startup can prove that the patent is invalid, it has to spend precious money on the lawsuit.

Weird how young-ish people in a particularly dense urban setting with plentiful public transit and many DMV offices to choose from — TIL: several exclusively for AAA members — may have a different lived experience than, say, older people in a rural county roughly half the size of Rhode Island with no public transit and a single DMV office.

Tho the county I refer to barely has any black residents so there couldn't possibly be any racial motivations. Just like the nearby restaurant plastered with a bunch of "rules" in giant lettering on the exterior, such as "No sagging pants", isn't owned by a racist. /s

Yeah, I know this saying well: "Don't reinvent the wheel." I completely agree with it, too. I mean, I’m not building a browser engine from scratch here, right? lol

But when it comes to web front-end development, I often feel that frameworks and libraries shift too much focus away from actual development, making you worry about things that aren’t really necessary. After all, JavaScript in browsers isn’t compiled like other languages. The main thing that reduces loading times is using cache, right?
I think you're intentionally misreading everything people are saying to you.
Why I wont pay on your website?
I think there is a valid claim to be made that web frameworks cost more to learn than they pay off in value in using them.

Mind you, I don't assert that claim. I don't know; I'm not in web development. But I could see how having to learn a new framework that wouldn't pay back the effort would give rise to some valid complaints.
I think you're misunderstanding the billion dollar mistake. It was not statically tracking null-references. In JS, everything is dynamic so it doesn't apply, and TS does check them.
