I don't pick things up nearly as fast now (early 40s) as I was when I was younger (pre-tten, teen, 20s, and 30s). However, I also pick things up in a very different way that in some ways, are more effective than when I was young. For e

In my early and mid 30s, as a result of visionary experiences, my experience of "lived time" changed. In general, moments lasts a lot longer. This doesn't really have to do with the brain becoming a better prediction machine

I wonder if some of the car UX or generative AI will help Apple improve Siri.

I'm not sure if I understand this article. Is the claim that Gemini was used to post fake reviews for a book (such as on Amazon), or did someone ask Gemini for a review in which it then gave hallucinated facts?

Those are some overly broad assumptions with using calories. Not all calories are the same — some foods take more calories to digest, and others, like MCT takes very little to get absorbed by cells. It really depends upon the food being con

I don’t know which era you are talking about. I was talking about the decade after 1989, about when the Soviets were collapsing, before the recent economic downturn. They were not importing food, nor were there oil available to run trucks,

If we use farming methods such as monocropping, it is doubtful. But there are other farming methods better suited for the small scale.

Start with neighborhood level farms and household gardens. Use permaculture designs.

It doesn’t have to be romanticized. A local-first, decentralized food system can be more resilient and provide fresher, more nutritious foods.

What I am excited about Pijul is being able to maintain a personal codebase that can accept changes from multiple upstreams. I’m not looking at commercial teams as much as homelabs or local-first environments.

“Node.js’s asynchronicity is quite literally one of the, if not the best part of Node.js” That’s fine if that is your opinion. Here is my perspective on it: - Node.js async model is not unique nor innovative. There has been several other pl

I have tried with people using Nodejs. I didn’t really get much anywhere. The wall I run into starts with, “what do you think of Typescript?” I don’t try very hard though. At most, I put out feelers and see where it goes, because it is impr

Well, now the JVM has lightweight processes. We may eventually see OTP reimagined on the JVM.

I didn't like Erlang when I first tried it. Then later, I found myself doing things in other languages … and I realized what I was trying was significantly less effort in Erlang and I was poorly reinventing ideas from OTP. That was whe

While I can see this idea coming from good intentions, it also misses the point. Stonelifting isn't just a physical discipline, it also cultivates other aspects -- honoring the stones, the land, to receive the legacy of all the others

Not stabilizers. It’s a consequence of developing the capability to inflate and expand the muscles instead of movement through contraction. At some level of development, there are ridges that develop that are not conforming to muscle bundle

It isn't the sequences or even the outward shape of Tai Chi so much as what is happening within the body that generates the shapes and sequences. There are long-term, transformative effect on the body. For example, my own musculature h

Tai chi has a particular way of moving and developing the body that is distinctively different from yoga. However, there is a wide range of knowledge, skill level and practice principles within the tai chi community as it is with yoga. For

I was looking forward to Michael Lewis’s book precisely because I wanted to see how these mistakes happened. Some of his other books were more like that.

I remember seeing someone’s demo of using them for knitting. Absent any better explanation, this seems pretty reasonable to me. Example video: https://youtu.be/76AvV601yJ0?si=7qk7VWBHJnxubs1j

There are private, distributed, synchronization protocols people are working on, such as Willow Protocol. They are still working things out. But synchronization across devices controlled by a principal is doable with the primitives they hav

I am thinking the Willow Protocol would make a good base for local-first. There would be no privileged “backend”, but some peers can provide automated services. https://willowprotocol.org/

I agree with all of this. If we take it one step further though and think about portability of configuration, I think that is one of the reasons we end up with operators.

YAML, or TOML or Json, I think the more problematic issue is using templating at all instead of generating them.

by hosh 3y ago
This article is not convincing me about yaml or json templating. The only thing I can think of is that generating these files requires picking a language platform. I chose Ruby to generate the k8s manifests I need. If you are picking someth

The idea isn’t about that quality is important though. It is that, even though people feel it is important, no one has been able to rationalize it or measure it. And that sometimes we act and talk as if we can. I’m not sure why you keep den

If none of the comments here ignite your interest, it might not be time then. I had books like that. I also had books I can feel I need to read, and yet they are slogs. And then something happens, or I encounter an idea elsewhere, and it is

What's also interesting to me is that there are enough similarities between Vedic and ancient Greek thought, and yet here we are with Aristolean ideas in the West, and in India, things went the way of the Puranas. (Treatise of Efficacy
