Utilitarianism is about whether the consequence justifies your course of action. If your goal is to prevent the 9/11 attacks, torturing whoever is the wrong solution. If your goal is to make people feel better, maybe, but even then I&#

If hyperactivity is one end, I'm on the complete other end. And I always associated ADHD with being hyperactive.

Yeah, that's the problem. That's why I'm reading this stuff about procrastination. What's your point? Are you saying I should just give up?

If the argument is "he could sue", the justification would be something like there's a miniscule risk that a lawsuit could lead to a Supreme Court decision that puts their kidnapping, torture and black site policies at risk.

What makes you think we are anything more than the output of a reward function? Dopamine and other hormones function as our reward system and are so fundamental and drive effectively all of our behaviours and our learning from the moment

While I've spent a lot of time reading everything he's written, I never felt that any of it helped me overcome my procrastination. It was just recognition and a shallow, fleeting satisfaction in that recognition.

I've made a similar realization recently. It seems that I've built a life around consumption. Watching TV series, movies, playing games. I think we're not made for this. There's nothing there to really push us to grow as

Yeah, no. The use cases for man and tldr are completely different, and trying to convince every single project to make their man pages more friendly to people who just want to get their work done is just ... well, an impossible amount of ef

tldr doesn't remove man pages. You're free to check the man page for what whatever flags used in a command in tldr mean.

I'd assume this is only temporary. How many orders for the Max do they still have unfulfilled? That'd be a significant loss if they intended to not fill them sometime in the future. Edit: It says in the article > The assembly l

Unfortunately, it seems they're more than happy with the current state of things and they don't particularly care who buys their cards. They can push up the price and the used market will move in lockstep because demand is so high

At this point all I care about is the price. The price of GPUs has ballooned in an insane way recently and it’s impossible to get a decent deal that’s significantly faster than what I have now (and I haven’t upgraded in years). The used mar

I don't think it's a wrong characterization, imo. The problem with the MAX isn't necessarily the MCAS, but the culture and business/engineering processes that allowed MCAS to go all the way to production and allowed th

It looks like there’s no desktop app of any kind? The idea looks fascinating, but unfortunately it’s a complete no-go for me without a native and offline option.

I'd really be interested in knowing at what level these two employees were at. How deep does the rot go? Even if the CEO is gone, these people are still around.
