That theory sounds rather esoteric and arbitrary - defensible in some circles I'm certain. Lack of visual imagination or inner monologue does not in any way imply lack of 'inner world', nevermind the lack of essence of being human, whatever that is.

Yup, I consider it just bad (narrative) memory compounded by aphantasia. Can watch a film or read a book and barely remember what was there the next day. Same for life events, with exception of very strong emotional triggers, or very well-connected systems - ie could describe better some system I was building 15 years ago than what last christmas was like (i assume it happened, there are pictures).

For me, recall is bad, but recognition is OK - things 'come back' easily with hints or photos. But I guess that's how memory tends to work, and motivation to plenty of pictures/videos.

I haven't tried mushrooms, but had some medical trouble and with very high fever + medications there was times of rathr vivid visualisation while awake which I never experience otherwise - full blackness as well.

Wouldn't recommend getting sepsis just for that though.. mushrooms seem safer

If the lift is geometrically full of the (perhaps blended) mass of people, and race-dependent density is roughly similar, does it matter?

Agreed, the negativity here is quite wild.

There are new power tools for our craft. People are experimenting and having fun with said power tools, and have interesting results that may be transferrable to $YOUR_PROJECT.

Doing things just because we can is a great reason for hacking around.

Kudos for the author for answering questions and keeping up resilience - HN crowd is not what it used to be (shakes fist at a different cloud).

Of which calendar system?

Curious but offtopic - are others also immediately suspicious of the content and quality because the readme is so obviously AI-written? What are ways you distinguish genuinely useful contributions on the sea of slop?

Only a 100 years — the whole history before that was working in the vicinity of a home, it does feel natural to return to that. Instead of anvils, we hit keyboards and instead of swords produce alignment, but either way it brings food to the table and allows flexibility in work-life?

Yet another browser-based screen/video recorder and editor but with multiple inputs, full privacy and scriptable effects - a slow weekend project

Here's a bookmarklet:

  javascript:document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(el => el.style.backgroundColor = 'transparent')

On 2/ there is a safety point in having the grounding pin on all plugs, and it being longer than the live/neutral: in the socket side, the grounding pin opens up latches that block live/neutral, so kids can’t stick things into them..

I generally would agree it is the best plug standard for safety, but clunky and painful to step on..
