That's a good point. And then if you find something you love so much that you want to go (and go hard) every day, get some advice from someone more experienced. Too much is often detrimental, even if you think you feel capable of it.

But it sure is nice when you have to go pick something heavy up, and it's "easy". I'm on and off of lifting for 30 years. Inevitably I get to a big glass office building door and think, "wow this is so heavy to ope

Find an exercise/activity that you enjoy or makes you feel good. Doesn't matter if it is weight lifting, road cycling, or dancing. Once you find it, just keep doing it. If you get bored, try something else for a while. If that

Those centralization examples are slowly breaking down right now, and the independent, community systems are (re)gaining popularity.

You can’t continue to use unsustainable farming practices. The local future of farming will be combinations of permaculture food forests in public spaces, rooftop gardens, vertical high efficiency (closed system) farms, etc.

Locally produced "everything" is the future. Just in time manufacturing and delivery is great if you have the tolerance for occasional complete failures and slow restarts. But those occasional failures cause people to get creativ

Great initiative, but who decided to put the user-hostile return/backslash keys together? Key gaps exist for a reason, and it's especially important on certain keys.

Either it's a concerted effort by some number of people to promote it, or it's that most people didn't see the original news and now find it interesting.

Exactly, that's my point. If we prioritized things differently and afforded more people the space to be creative, perhaps we would be more advanced as a civilization.

Never married, never had children, didn't leave a will. The courts decided who owned his works, and that's that.

This suggests that humans, if they have the luxury of not having to spend 100% of their effort on survival, can envision and comprehend much of what we today think about.

If I read the back story on this correctly, then no - it's not what I mean. I don't mean to change an outcome, but rather to create a situation where you can be certain of what the oucome will be. Then you can profit. Granted, I

Yes, basically. Imagine in financial markets if you trained a system to identify trends in currency pairs (for example). Generally they would be benign and useful, but if the a certain input were present, they would advise an action which

Not what the paper discusses, but the title gives me a thought: can you train a neural net with a specific, predictable behavior that would generally go undetected but which you could use to your advantage? I suspect you could. Imagine bui

Every industry is full of charlatans and poor advice. Unfortunately, some cost you more than just lost money or lost time. In this case, however, the participants may more likely be vulnerable. They are seeking some solution to their prob

I think it's also worth noting the extent of time and focus he dedicated to this practice before the negatives appeared. Putting in 10% of what this guy put in would likely give you measurable benefits without the disassociation risks,

At the very least, they will have perspectives and sensibilities which are possibly representative of a different group of people that can be enlightening and can broaden the interests of regular museum goers.

Is it surprising that extended, intensive mental practice (in this case, mindfulness style meditation) can reshape how our brains work? As babies, we form our sense of being - from what touch "feels" like to what food tastes like

Do you really want to work under a tech lead who misunderstands the fundamentals? From my experience, this always ends up with a frustrating work environment.

The underlying language doesn't actually matter as long as you can deliver the toolkit. I do agree that Lisp(y) language(s) may be very well suited, but I don't care. I just want us to stop reinventing the wheel hundreds of times

Your answer doesn't address the question: "why do you get to use it to incriminate someone?" But the point remains: if an ID card isn't considered valid for voting, then why should it be considered valid for identifying

I thought this Air would be a placeholder until the M1 MBP, but unless you need a real GPU, I find this more than good enough. I won’t need to upgrade.

Haha! I sort of need this. It's amazing how the only time I realize I have a runaway process is if my laptop heats up. It's truly incredible how much serious heavy work I do on a "little" M1 Air. MySQL and Postgres, Re

Indeed. So the last mile is how to reconfigure after the fact. This has been a problem for a long time with builders. Perhaps one solution is to compartmentalize additional changes and configurations so they can be managed a bit easier wh

This is worth knowing about, but it is really a distant edge case. Calling it a peril of M1 ownership is a bit dramatic when you consider how few people it will affect.

That to me is an indication of a need for an even higher level abstraction. At this point we should be able to go through a questionnaire, and software (not an AI, but definitely algorithm with rich knowledge and rules) would generate a qua

I would edit my parent post if I could. I have just logged into ProtonMail web app after a few months of not using it, and it seems they have made a big upgrade. I cannot say if it solves all of my previous complaints, but it certainly ha
