as usual

What ends up being maddening is when the interrupter is wrong about the direction that the talker intends the conversation to go, and you end up in endless digressions from the intended focus.

How would you compare what you're doing to a prediction market and/or the so-called Superforecasters?

Simple enough, right? /s

I have no doubt you're correct, however if the same model were applied in the US it would automatically be seen as racist. And I know you use the word 'ethnicity,' but I posit that no one over here thinks in such nuanced terms, so you'd still end up with the conclusion that this way of living is racist.

Which I suppose says something: maybe race concerns are so highlighted in the US precisely because we do aim to be more inclusive over all.

When I first looked at Huginn, it wouldn't run on ARM (raspberry pi). I eventually just went with Python3, Cronjobs, and an app called Pushover (push notifications). No visual niceties, but it works rather well for my purposes.

I have scripts for: - checking exchange rates - checking the price of wine or other products - sending me the latest messages that interesting people on HN post - etc.

Can't wait for them to ruin it!

One thing I've noticed about these quandaries: there's very little consideration for what one owes their society. Doing something in service to others may not bring an immediate 'happiness' but if you're looking for satisfaction in life, it's worth including in the balance equation.

And perhaps that's what the work you're doing can provide, if viewed from that perspective. Too many people seem to just automatically view work as soulless BS, to which I might suggest those people are simply in the wrong career.

This is all a pretty good argument in favor of conservatism, especially the last bit. There are plenty of cultural practices that preserve or promote something valuable in society, and maybe we don't even know why they work. But they do.

Kind of like NNs...sure, maybe if you spent enough time, you could figure out exactly how each one is doing what it's doing. Or, you could accept the general principles and enjoy the results.

Unsurprisingly, there are very few accounts on here of people killing themselves with their own code.

Computers, computer languages

That's the part that makes you randomly yell, "Hail Bill Gates!"

...I did not know about this. You are my hero.

I am a random crusader here to say that Foam is the greatest of all such software (every other option gets at least one such crusader, its only fair)

Thank you for explaining your process. I think I might benefit from this approach.

All of them, as often as possible. There's no 'magic bullet' book, but having a habit of reading is a great way toward personal growth.

Antitrust laws have been around for a long time. Competition is essential for a free market to function optimally. You can disagree, but that's why they exist. Its not to punish anyone.

I can appreciate the amount of talent that went into making Hamilton, but I found the pace too manic to fully enjoy it. The thing never lets up.

There's a trade off here between personal health and the resources needed to put the food on the table in front of you. Of course, the latter is mitigated if you take the leftovers with you to go.

That's just a more inconvenient version of valet parking.

I submit the possible Japanese inverse: Metal with traditional instruments.

This is somehow correlated with the idea of knowing 'about' a thing vs knowing a thing. News, in a large majority of cases, is something that you learn about. Its not something you experience directly. In most cases, the most useful knowledge pertains to those things that you do or likely would soon experience directly, so news is therefore a mostly useless pastime.

And if there's an upcoming election, you can always just read the candidate's stated policies and record of voting.

You and me both. My thoughts on this subject are that all knowledge is related in some manner, so unless you want your knowledge points to form an all to all connection (useless), there needs to be some probabilistic connection.

This means that the user blanket accepts the probability that language is similar enough in two separate thoughts to form a connection, or they receive a basket of suggestions from a program and approve/disapprove each. One inevitably leads to meaningless connections, and the other leads to work on the user's part to prune out all the trash.

What do you think?

This has been a philosophical concern as well as an economic one for a while now. John Maynard Keynes had some notable thoughts on the future of work leading to a utopia of less work and the same/more reward (and he was incorrect).

But rather than get into the political/economic/philosophical argument, there might be an individual solution: people don't pay for what takes the most work, they pay for what is in the most demand. These are often not the same thing, and you can leverage that.
