super+e, clicking the explorer button? I think you're being purposefully difficult here.

I cannot list any of the bugs I have had with Windows off the top of my head, but I can with linux. Driver issues, Pulse audio randomly playing static, updates breaking my system, fractional scaling not working, I could go on.

At the end of the day, I think the categories are very broad and better respect people's privacy compared to what we had before. Some people in the privacy community seem to think advertising and tracking in any form should not exist and will always make a stink about whatever incarnation they take.

These proposals were made directly because of legislation like GDPR. It's not as if Google got up one day and said "Let's make our job harder."

I work (partly) in SEO. One of the main issues that affects search and will get even worse in the future is the post-scarcity environment of the web when it comes to information. Say you had five websites for that each have identical cookie recipes. If you optimize search rankings by click-through rating, eventually all the sites will have similar copy, titles, and page descriptions. If you optimize for bounce rate, you knock out sites that get to the point but also knock out sites that crappy and have bad ui/ux. What about core web vitals? Well again, everyone will catch up eventually. Anything that can be gamified will eventually be gamed.

Now instead of 5 sites with identical recipes, what about 500? 5,000? 5,000,000? How can you even rank them in a meaningful way and does it matter to the end user?

There will be too much of a supply of information, especially when ai ramps up, that no one website will have unique value outside of local significance or if it was made by your mom or someone you like. I think it will be crazy to see what the web looks like 10 years from now. It could be vastly different.

If you use ublock origin or brave, you can turn on the bypass payways clean filter within brave or you can subscribe to the list on filterlists.com

I don't think it does. Humans are agents within reality and have perceptions of reality. Your brain having a representation in this reality that might be different from 'true reality' doesn't change the argument at all.

I think there is a hard limit to what we know and what we can assume to know based of this point and in logic by the Münchhausen trilemma. It's interesting to think of the source of sense data as persistent or consistent when it could just be that our sense organs reduce varied data into persistent experience.

When we look at a tree, it could very well be that the source of the tree is very much like the tree we experience, but it could also be wildly different. When we see a tree in a video game, we know there is no real source tree just like it, just ones and zeroes. I disagree that science fixes this problem. Tools are still just measuring the physical world. For example, if you used a tool to measure some aspect of the tree, you are still measuring the representation of the tree in this world. If I use the video game analogy again, my point is that you wouldn't be able to see true underlying 'source code' of the game tree by looking at it in the game.

Because humans never experience anything in and of itself, but only the output of the interaction between sensory data and a brain, literally everything is purely the result of human mental activity.

Now you can just not have an account or any first party data given to a customer, or with tools like anonaddy and fake people generator, you can spoof first party data that won't be matched when hashed and compared across different platforms.

I'm curious, would you purchase a membership to youtube if it included absolutely no tracking, sharing of first-party data, or advertising at all?

I firmly believe that once ai is in a position to replace programmers and other white collar workers, it's more of "we're all fucked" moment. Society would have to so radically change once we reach even that infantile level of post-scarcity, when a large portion of society that loses their jobs, that we have to have serious discussions about what life is supposed to be about and what our places in society are.

when there is no more desire to be quenched, when there are no jobs to do, when we have solved all disease, what do we do? Man has been defined so much by his suffering and toil, that when we take it away we are in an environment that we are not prepared for in any kind of sense.

I don't agree with you. Human knowledge itself is not bound only to the previous knowledge before it, so why wouldn't AI be any different? This is more of where AGI will shine, but I still think LLMs can produce novel innovation.

There's also a difference between having access to and being able to 'comprehend' all previous works in a given genre for generating music, that a human simply won't have the ability to process and recall when creating their own music and the AI could surpass. Humans simply having access to information is different than using information.

Sounds cool but isn't it somewhat lazy to not include at least a picture in the article of what you're talking about?

I’m 29 now and I can’t remember my thought process at the time just that I remember realizing what I measured out wasn’t correct but I also realized this while under the effects of the drug.

The snow is not constant and usually intensifies if I’m under stress. But it’s not very noticeable, it’s like film grain is how I would describe it. It’s gotten less and less over the years but it’s still there. Doesn’t bother me though

When I was 23, I misdosed myself and took 110mg of 4-AcO-DMT. The experience was EXTREMELY traumatic and I believed I was dying. At one point I was so overstimulated I just lay on my kitchen floor convulsing uncontrollably.

The next few days I didn't know what to do. My body would just shake, I couldn't sleep and I stayed up until I passed out for an hour, and then my shaking would wake up myself up again. I was overwhelmed with dread and thought I had completely fucked my brain forever and all my potential was gone.

But I went to therapy, got better, and my life is completely normal now. I have HPPD and see visual snow, but that's about it.

This blog doesn't want to give platitudes like "it gets better" and I can see how they're not really helpful when you're in crisis mode. The one piece of advice that has helped me is the thinking that "I'm not the first one to ever go through this, and I won't be the last." No matter if you're fucked in the head, going bankrupt, getting divorced - whatever - you aren't alone and you can either find a solution or find acceptance.

I feel the same. The UI to me since plasma has seemed large and awkward whenever I tried it. The default theme is a bit outdated as well. Something with gnome or cinnamon just really does it for me, cinnamon especially.

your advice makes your own comment pretty ironic, don't you think?

but no. I really don't have to provide evidence that the sun is hot, that Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States, or that being fat is bad for you. I understand HN is for a technical audience, but in the nutritional and health field, this is an accepted fact.
