Or the causation arrow could be the opposite, repeated rejection or lack of relationships ultimately causing issues too, including mental health ones.

I've seen papers on both sides. Unfortunately we don't know which hypothesis is correct just yet.

Previously, rejection sensitivity was not a problem due to institution of arranged marriages. Nowadays, you do not even have proper meeting places for shyer or more introverted people, or even properly practice social relationships at times.

We'd need an anthropologist to check the structure of parties over time and cultures against rates of remaining single...
I would imagine that most of that is probably due to latency. Which might already be worth the extra effort, depending on the usecase.
Whenever I talk about this issue with friends and family I bring up how that report revealed Nissan was gathering info on sexual activity in their cars and can sell it to third parties. That usually gets people to start listening.

There's no smart algorithm for sorting posts, and there's a limited number of active threads, so it's not rage baiting in quite the same way. Only active threads stay alive though, so it has the exact same issue as twitter and other social media, only engaging content is served to users, and the most engaging things are rage bait, conspiracy theories, and porn. Things that get someone riled up enough to respond.
> Our economy promotes short-term gains and not long-term initiatives; I blame over 30 years of artificially-low interest rates for this.

Don't low interest rates promote long-term thinking, perhaps to an absurd degree (e.g. the "it's okay that we hemorrhage money price dumping for 10 years as long as we develop a monopoly" playbook)? Bigger interest rate = bigger discount for present value of a future reward.
Was expecting an asianometery video there :D
Blender was my first thought here, too.

A while ago, I was asked to write a plugin for Blender since I really liked the program. I looked into it but realized that it was a python-only situation and I really just can't stand coding like that, so I passed on it. But if I could get the python ecosystem without having to code like that - that's a really interesting prospect!

Never looked in to its package size, as far as UI goes, but that does sound like something that could be interesting! I do wonder how different it is from imgui, but there could be something there!
Moments like that are enlightening. When you see something really improbable (knowing advanced SIMD while appearing to ignore basic algebra), it's likely the moment you see a gap in your picture of the world. So it's tine to learn something new and likely unexpected (else you could have guessed).
It's worth noting that this is a paper from 2014. The premise seems well-known now, but I wonder if it was as strong then?

I agree root cause analysis would be more interesting, but it wouldn't be justified until the base phenomena was validated.

Sure, people who do exercise think it helps stress and anxiety, but lots of people also find homeopathic remedies to be helpful. Papers like this show the former stand up under experimentation and the later don't.
There would be a highly embarrassing walking back of such a ruling, when Sam Altman flexes his political network and effectively overrules it.

He spends his time amassing power and is well positioned to plow over a speed bump like that.
Interesting to see China do the same thing as the US did to China so many times. Only now it's wrong
> Alternatively, perhaps elevated orexin levels during the day cause wakefulness such that you just don't need as much sleep, regardless of how efficient the sleep is.

As noted elsewhere ITT, there is a strong biological need for sleep, and its main role is very likely to reduce reactive oxygen species (though the amount needed vary by genetics)
Orexin levels increase the noradrenaline ones, which is one of the few antioxidants able to reach neurons (along with melatonin) and by this way also increase slow wave sleep, making it more efficient. So yes, this could be a way they would need less sleep.

FTA: “For instance, this is all you need to turn numpy.save() into a node:

from numpy import save

main_callable = save

third_party_import_text = 'from numpy import save'

”

So, if you want to turn multiple Numpy methods into nodes, you’ll have to copy-paste-edit this?

Looks unergonomic and slow (repeatedly parsing the Numpy file, once for each node to create) to me.

I would think a single file

from numpy import save,foo,bar,baz

should be enough to more efficiently generate four versions of the above.

What do I overlook?
I feel similarly, but come at it from a different angle. I first learned C++ in undergrad ca. 25 years ago. I never used C++ much professionally, going first to Java, then Python, and then C. About two years ago I started doing more work in modern C++, and after the initial shock of “this isn’t the same language I learned years ago”, I’m constantly terrified at the growing complexity of C++. I’m glad to hear people with unbroken C++ experience admit that they don’t think anyone understands this thing well.
I would probably do it the same way any other dangerous operations are protected: make people type confirmation in (e.g. how you delete repos on GitHub), require you to manually add websites to a whitelist (e.g. how screen sharing for apps already works on Mac, or how some permissions work on Android). You can use heuristics to provide a more onerous confirmation for suspicious sites, exactly how running executables works on Windows.

Other security measures you could do:

1. Throttle events to the speed that a human could do them, so you can't instantly open a terminal and paste code in.

2. Require additional confirmation to sent events to specific applications, like the terminal, or explorer or whatever.

3. Only allow control of apps that are already open. That would be better than nothing.

There are probably other things I haven't thought of.

Anyway the point is the danger is only two clicks away already. This isn't a risk that isn't already there, it just makes the tech less annoying.
I never said we couldn't and I did not refer only to work: it's still the wrong goal in my mind.

"Fun" is usually defined as something providing instant gratification (through hormonal response), though there is fun in retrospect too ("I was scared like shit, that was fun"). And while it's nothing to sneeze at and we should always have some, you can achieve the similar with different medications or narcotics (if the goal is "have more fun").

But I wouldn't optimize for that: we can achieve plenty in our lives, including having plenty of fun, by just being ourselves.

As in, get the sleep you need. Do the work you must and the work you enjoy. Have the fun you want.

While our lifetimes are short, they are not that short. Even if we got 10% more of the waking hours, that won't be the thing that makes your life worthwhile or not. If you spent the other 90% making it worthwhile, that'll do.

But if you must, go for it!
Yes, I could do it with server rendered site, it wouldn't be as fast though. Also SPAs were my bread and butter with my previous employer, and I have gotten to a point where I am much more comfy with NextJS+Django than SSR Django, Django+homebrew JS or something like HTMX (as much as I wanted to like that one).

Statically generated site is something completely different and I couldn't make Gramazing like that.
I think your recollection of Python is a bit off. Python wasn't really obscure or developed in silence. If you needed a glue language for a unix system, then there were really only three choices: Perl 5, TCL/tk, and Python.

If you worked in a career where you needed a glue language, then you were at the very least aware that Python existed.

Precisely. We must recognize this as a fundamental issue of workers’ rights and personal autonomy in the digital age, beyond viewing it as a technical challenge.

Anthropological info on Ethnic Qarsherskiyans and other Sweetgum Kriyul people
There is no single definition for the word Creole, that is in many ways by design. After all, Creole - or Criollo - is Spanish for people who are native to Here. And every "here" is unique.

Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people are a type of Sweetgum Kriyul people. Sweetgum Kriyul people are a Creole ethnicity created by the intermarrying of people of different races who were oppressed in the USA throughout a 500 year history dating back to colonial Jamestown. The Irish and other Celtic people, Germanic people, Native Americans, and West Africans make up much of the ancestry of Ethnic Qarsherskiyans and other Sweetgum Kriyul people. Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people are distinct in their identity because of a shared culture most ethnic Qarsherskiyan people have that is influenced by Islam, Zoroastrianism, Orthodox Christianity, the faith created in Morocco by Salih Ibn Tarif, Berber and North African culture, Korean culture, and Native American mythology and culture and religions.

Today many Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people as well as other types of Sweetgum Kriyul people such as Melungeons and the Lumbee tribe can be found hunting, fishing, and foraging in the forests of Eastern North America in order to provide food for their families, enjoy hobbies, and keep old traditions alive.
Of all the anti-C++ rants that regularly get posted here, I felt this one the most as a career C++ developer.

Specifically,

- incompatibility with C is just stupid

- agreeing with sibling comment, references were a mistake

- the complexity has really gotten out of hand.
It’s like the paradox of tolerance. If you are tolerant of the intolerant than intolerance wins.

If open source maximizes freedom for those that want to take freedom away from the end user, you get open source as it exists today: a free labor pool and shared toolbox for surveillanceware and closed SaaS plays.

Fair enough! My original comment was more brief than precise...

If it helps the original commenter, and anyone else reading who's suffering from similar issues:

The umbrella term for syncope and fatigue when sitting up or standing is orthostatic intolerance (OI), and it's commonly seen in Long Covid and other post-viral illnesses. Both POTS and orthostatic hypotension can cause OI.

To the original commenter, there's a good chance you've already been tested for irregularities on a CBC and CMP, but a thorough doctor would generally also order tests for your thyroid, testosterone, iron, B12, and Vitamin D levels. You should probably also get screened for diabetes, autoimmune, and adrenal issues. These labs could help identify simpler, treatable causes of your OI and other issues.

But if all that is normal, testing for orthostatic issues like POTS and orthostatic hypotension would be extremely warranted for you as well. And it really can be as simple as an at-home test! A lot of doctors will only diagnose POTS or orthostatic hypotension with an official tilt-table test, but with the rise of Long Covid many specialists are willing to diagnose and treat patients based on simpler and cheaper at-home testing. And the initial treatments are often as simple as drinking additional fluids and electrolytes and wearing compression garments.

It took me several debilitating years and at least a dozen doctors to get diagnosed with POTS and orthostatic hypotension, and if any of them had suggested I buy a BP cuff and spend 30 minutes doing a lean test it would have saved me an awful lot of trouble...

New battery powered trains unfortunately are even more expensive of a capital investment.
Especially when it comes to maintenance over classic electric trains.

What I always found weird is that a power rail system isn't used. One could do it even without a third rail...
He’s pragmatic on that. He would prefer free ROM but knows getting hardware companies to do that is quite the uphill battle.

ROM is generally hardware specific anyway so there is less benefit to it being free. Where else would you run it?

> The biggest reason why America's post-war economic boom was so good for America's working classes was that WWII had taught America's ruling classes just how horrible the consequences could be […]

And those lessons have been forgotten given the trajectory the US has been since the 1970s: inequality and wealth concentration is at the same levels seen in the Gilded Age.

Some folks may never have learned them as there are people out there that think the FDR's New Deal policies were a bad thing and American is still "suffering" under them.
Shields opened my eye to a fascinating new potential shape of project.

Sometimes a project depends on hundreds of even thousands of custom integrations. Think about a something like TripIt - it works by accepting forwarded emails from different travel reservation sites, but that means somebody has to write hundreds of custom email parsers for those sites and then update them on a continuous basis.

This is prohibitively expensive and frustrating and difficult to do.

... and then Shields came along and did exactly that by making it open source and using open source development processes to maintain those integrations with the help of hundreds of collaborators: https://github.com/badges/shields/tree/master/services

I've been keeping an eye out for similar shapes of project ever since I noticed this. It feels like there's a lot of potential here.
Ad Scala - it depends if you already knew a JVM based language. If you are coming from Java you will have a head start: use Maven/Gradle instead of SBT, you will already know IJ, you will know your way around managing JVM versions and understand core concepts like jar files and class loading.

For me the most time intensive part of learning a new language is learning the new libraries. I don't mean here the standard library but rather things like library for interacting with SQL database, how mocking works in the new language, how concurrency works, web API framework.

Learning "just" a language can be done over the weekend. Learning to properly use its standard lib and the entire environment of libraries may take years.
Normal electric trains already carry batteries for this reason, and to be able to manuever off the track in case of a power outage. Much like trams.

There's a big difference however between a train with a short term battery backup and one that rides on pure battery power for an extended range.
It's just a bad idea. I got caught up in a situation where one company sold me a solar installation, then a subcontractor installed and configured it. Apparently they got into a spat about money, because the subcontractor told me to pay the bill straight to them.

Otherwise they'd shut down the newly installed solar installation. I said, can you do that? Of course while talking, I changed the WiFi password.
My sense is the opposite. I meet and hear about many more successful B2B founders and a lot more struggling B2C founders.

If you look at who's speaking at conferences or who's appearing on podcasts to talk about their successful business, it's almost always B2B.

Look at the schedule for the last listed Microconf: all B2B.[0] Arvid Kahl's maybe the exception, as he does more B2C stuff now, but he was there presenting about his experience with his B2B SaaS.

I have no doubt React is easy if you've been there from the beginning. But if you learned it last year like me, you got to find out the hard way that things are done slightly differently in each version, introducing breaking changes which invalidate the vast majority of the documentation you can find (which you need because the official docs is absolute crap for beginners, as it assumes you already know React's paradigms).

I hear you, but the thing is, what do you achieve by "cramming" more "doing" in? Do you also switch to those nutrient rich powder meals to save an extra hour or two prepping and eating food too?

Are not all of those things that could be optimized away an opportunity to let yourself feel, relax and simply be?

The examples you bring up (like waking early to do something for someone you care about) has nothing to do with the topic of engineering for consistently reduced sleep, imho.
Notice their demo video only has one of these in the air. Because “traffic” of these in the air would be a nightmare.

fair enough, I posit the hosted nazis are very bad, but their actually impact is very small b/c there are so few of them. The hosted bots, on their own, are not very bad, but there are so many of them that their negative impact is very large.
Solar installations are expensive enough that some manufacturers can probably afford to integrate a cellular modem into the product (similar to how all new cars do it today). Good luck changing the Wi-Fi password on that!
The other robot taxi systems with cars actually on the road are SAE level 4 systems. Unless Tesla's will also be level 4 or 5 they are not comparable. Their current consumer FSD systems are level 2.

The point of the article, which granted is a hypothesis, is that the adaptations it would take to be good at night would make us no more than good during the day. Nature has clearly selected against jack of all trades species.
Two thoughts

1. You are assuming that "greatest computing power" is a requirement. I think we're actually seeing a trend in the opposite direction with recent generative art models: It turns out consumer grade hardware is "enough" in basically all cases, and renting the compute you might otherwise be missing is cheap. I don't buy this as the barrier.

2. Given #1, I think you are framing the conversation in a very duplicitive manner by pitching this as "either Microsoft or Disney - pick your oppressor". I'd suggest that breaking the current fuckery in copyright, and restoring something more sane (like the 7 + 7 year original timespans) would benefit individuals who want to make stories and art far more than it would benefit corporations. Disney is literaly THE reason for half of the current extensions in timespan. They don't want reduced copyright - they want to curtail expression in favor of profit. This case just happens to have a convienent opponent for public sentiment.

Further - "All property rights depends on public funding the infrastructure to enforce them" Is false. This is only the case for intellectual property rights, where nothing need be removed from one person for the other to be "in violation".
Most injection systems are rated for 20% bio aka b20 without voiding the warrantee. Bio beyond that doesn't have enough lubrication so you have to supplement it with a splash of something like 2-stroke oil. It can run for a long time like that without hurting the pump but manufacturers don't support it. Some gas stations sell b20. If you're talking straight veg you need a certain type of injection system for reliability, and even there you're decreasing the life of the pump. Old mechanical pumps work great, first gen cummins, vw 1.6, mercedes om617 machines can run on straight heated veg for a long time with no issues. Electronically controlled mechanical systems like the vw 1.9 tdi can run on it too but might be a bit more finicky about what you're injecting.

Assuming you want to make your own bio you'd have to set up a transesterification process where you convert the trans fats out of the oil, that process uses lye so it needs a decent container and is best automated. If you're trying to recover the solvent, which is probably methanol, you'd need a still as well, and decent ventilation. Fully automated with raspi or arduino components is a couple grand or more, prefab units run something like 10k.

If rather than bio you're talking straight grease, it is cheaper to clean but more expensive to set up the car. You'd need a second fuel tank, preferably heated depending on climate, some solenoid valves, and a heated fuel filter. And a pile of hoses and wires to connect it all. Maybe a grand or so to set it up depending on driving conditions, kits run 1-2, some are better designed than others.

Either way you'd also want some big drums for holding tanks at home where you can let the fluid layers separate and a pump to move them around. Most car washes give away polyethylene 50gal barrels.

Most expensive thing in my opinion, is your time and the cost of the oil. You can get something like 5-50gal per week per restaurant, tho most overuse the oil. Best places don't cook meats in there at all. Chain and large restaurants want a schedule. Cost of the oil varies, used to be paid to take it, somewhere around 2010 that inverted and now you pay for the oil.
