I read "The Way of Zen" by Alan Watts and it completely changed my existence. It really got me away from concepts like searching for meaning, purpose, and making things better.

Random people would just message you this out of the blue. When I was about 10 or 11 some girl did this and we figured out we lived two hours away from each other. We ended up talking and kept in touch for years. Eventually our family’s had planned a vacation to the same city at the same time and we met up in person finally and had a good time. It never turned into a relationship but we kept in touch until I was in my early twenties. It just seemed like a different world compared to the social networking of today. Things were more innocent and there was a lot more inherit trust between people online.

I’m not an Elon hater but Tesla is the worst offender on Mozillas privacy study.

Any news on when Bevy will have some legit documentation? I know there was a branch in work a while back that looked to have some in depth docs, but it doesn’t seem like it’s made its way into a release. This has always been a huge hurdle for me with Bevy. I really just don’t want to wade through discord to figure out how to use it. Wishing the best and awesome work. I think I’ll give bevy another shot once there’s an editor and good docs!

I recently got my first macbook (coming from a thinkpad) and it’s honestly more about not having to give a shit about a charger. It charges incredibly fast when I plug it into its monitor, but otherwise I just throw it in a bag without even thinking about what my battery percentage is. I’ll leave the house with it and not even bring the charger.

You don’t need 2-3 cars living rurally either. My wife and I dropped down to 1 vehicle a year ago with her being a stay at home mom and myself working remote.

I made three vague 1 sentence arguments and the judge announced that I won. I definitely felt like I got crushed by gpt but I guess it went soft on me :/

I've noticed it as well. The most recent example I can think was with gitlab webhooks. I need to manage (create/delete/edit) a lot of web hooks across a lot of different projects. I normally would have probably just started doing it by hand in the web ui, but instead I had some python code from gpt to automate it in a few minutes.

In a few years it will be called Pilot instead of Copilot.

Where the hell do we even go from here? The logical step seems to be to start studying AI now but even Sam Altman has said that he’s thinking that ML engineers will be the first to get automated. Can’t find source but I think it was one of his interviews on YouTube before chatgpt came out.

I wonder what the point of school is even going to be at this point

Did anybody else feel like the musk interview got really awkward towards the end? It seemed like he became really bored of it and just shut down.

I did a basic UniFi setup at my house back in the fall and it’s been pretty simple and fully reliable. It’s pretty much the apple of home networking and security.

Yeah there's nothing better for mental health than spending 2 hours a day in a car to sit in a dark windowless room for 8 hours with headphones. I went back to remote work this past fall and it has been such a massive boost to my mental health. I spend a ton more time with my family and friends. I take a long lunch every day to spend with my daughter. Never going back to an office.

Tell ChatGPT that you want it to ask for more context when it's needed and it will do so. I've done this before and it will continue to ask more probing questions until it's satisfied. You kind of have to guide it a little bit but it definitely works.

Get ChatCPT to write it.

I guarantee the OP could have asked GPT to expand on each of those and it would have done so flawlessly.

I bought a Galaxy fold last week and returned it yesterday. The form factor and larger screen was cool, but holy cow did Android feel like a huge downgrade from iOS. It was just all kinds of little quality of life things in iOS that I instantly missed. I think I needed something like one extra button press to get to the flashlight on Android and that did me in.

The article mentions that Larry Probst was ceo at the time fwiw.

Yep, clearly anyone who disagrees with you is inciting violence.

What evidence is there that masks prevent lockdowns? We've been wearing masks for months now and lockdowns are coming back regardless.

This entire HN discussion is insane. Every comment that is even slightly skeptical of mass-injecting the global population with a substance that we do not fully understand is being down-voted.

A colony on Mars is not going to be a part of Earth's "global village".

Liberty is not free. If you value it, then you're going to have to fight for it. Submission now leads to your descendants living in an oppressive dystopia.

But you can't move out of the global village.

Elon would like a word with you.

Yeah but murder is a very concrete action, while an insult is subjective.

I wonder if the Nazis used the laws to work in their favor and grow in power. If no one could insult the Nazi party then it would be easier for them to grow in power because they could just censor opposing views via the laws.

With high-speed satellite internet via Starlink on the horizon, the prospect of cruising full-time while maintaining a remote job is becoming more and more realistic. Good luck on your ventures!

They literally recommended something simple and physical that almost any person could do.

I share the same experience. The most talented software developers that I've worked with have just about all been EE's. On the flip side, I've also met some terrible software developers who were also EE's.
