I recently had a lot of fun while playing with nixos using claude code.

The best social network I ever used was private one with a few thousand users. Over time you just know most active users.

Clearly it’s opposite of killing

$25k/yr can be decent living in some places.

In no place where you’re getting a 1M pretax offer.

Yeah but what if - hear me out - you move after you get the money?

Yeah man, I'm sure that's exactly what they meant when talking about a decent living for $25k/year.

Sure but not in North America, where i assume most readers of this site are from.

Just out of pedantry, all of Mexico is in North America.

I read this in a British accent.

It sounds like you recognise that they encourage human interaction, though. Learning how to navigate human interaction is very rewarding and it's at the core of what we're losing.

Not sure I want dangerous human interactions and ability to navigate them to learn. Pretty much how I don’t want to learn navigating jungle on practice.

I presume this was in the US.

As a someone who recently spent 13h in economy I would pay double for 6 hours

The types of people who could afford the concord weren’t the types of people who’d fly economy on a 747.

Also, concord is still louder and more cramped than economy on a typical long hall 747.

It was not more cramped than economy. I’ve been in a Concorde. Every seat was like domestic first class in the USA.

That doesn't at all match my experience.

I was fortunate to fly an Air France Concorde between JFK and CDG and, while the seats were leather (which was not the case in economy at the time), they were no larger than economy seats.

The windows were tiny and the cabin itself was also quite small. It definitely felt cramped.

“In a” Concorde or “flew” Concorde?

The ones at air shows felt more specious than the commercial ones. Or at least that’s how it was from my admittedly very limited first hand experience.

Ok I don’t know the origin of the one I was in. It is the one exhibited at the Museum of Flight by the Boeing campus in Tacoma, Washington.

I'm very unconvinced that real world pricing would actually work that way.

The price difference between direct and connecting flights, for example, already shows how much more expensive the convenience can be.

5 years ago my parents in Russia didn’t know word VPN. Now they know that witeguard is better than openvpn. Reason: they want to use instagram and youtube (both are blocked).

Chatgpt is more valuable than instagram. I believe people will find the way.

I remember when I introduced Subterfuge to my teammates. Eventually people started to trade jira tickets for submarines…

Why would carbon dioxide be a problem? I’ve always thought that oxygen levels are the most important factor. Even if carbon dioxide doubled, it would not make a significant difference. In indoor environments, we use carbon dioxide as a signal that oxygen levels are low.

Am I missing something?

You are. The brain actually responds to CO2 concentration, not oxygen concentration. Your metabolism turns O2 and various hydrocarbons into CO2 and water, but many of the feedback loops in this process that mediate how your body metabolizes are based on the CO2 concentration; so even if O2 is unchanged, if you body detects more CO2, it will start metabolizing less.

I also wonder that if we have bigger body volumes combined with lower lung and heart capacity due to inactivity, would that add to the negative cognitive affect of higher CO2?

That may have been true 4 years ago but it’s far from true now. The only feature Tesla has that no other car seems to have is that minimalist “dentist’s waiting room decorated in the 1990s to seem futuristic” energy from the interior, which definitely sets Tesla apart although not entirely in a good way.

I don’t think this discussion makes sense without pointing to specific models. And discussing specific models doesn’t make sense without establishing what are the set of required properties (which is different for everyone). I was just pointing out that for some people (including me) there are no other cars with similar properties that I need.
