All requests to my hasura cloud instance are failing. I can't even hit the /healthz endpoint.

Support is saying this is an issue on my end, not theirs. It obviously isn't since I get no response from any of the endpoints using Postman/Insomnia.

So how can I migrate really quick?

In answer to your question, it’s hard to explain. But no, I don’t find it possible to step back again and observe that meta process. I just tried.

And it is definitely a present-tense action.

It may be that it is merely as you say, directing attention to attention, but it doesn’t diminish the free-flow experiential aspect of the exercise, or the intellectual curiosity.

Just to flesh out the experience, if I’m not paying attention to my experience, attention is still wandering all over the place, I’m just “in it” so to speak, and not noticing. When I observe it happening it has a very different quality to it.

Not to get esoteric, but the best way I could describe it is that there seems to be some observing faculty seperate to the usual sense of self. Which might explain why the exercise can’t devolve into an endless paying attention to paying attention to paying attention…

I like to watch the movement of my attention. Nothing abstract, just to observe where attention is aimed - it takes a mere 30 seconds of watching.

What I’ve noticed, is it moves around, seemingly without my input, and lacking any conscious intent (a concept the blog post makes a point to reclaim).

The light of attention shines throughout the physical scene, but it is sensorily multidimensional. It might move to the pain in my back, or the sound of the frogs, or the mug on my desk, a random memory, or more relevant to the article, the latest arising thought.

I am watching this movement of ‘my’ attention, and yet I seem to be playing no part in the neither the objects of attention, or the movement of attention itself.

This isn’t to say I cannot decide right now to move my hand in front of my face and observe it, but this arising of intention is itself mysterious too.

I'm wondering if this is possible for notebooks. I often use pen and paper and fill small notebooks up quite quickly. I'd prefer not to scan/OCR every page individually.

Are there any methods that could potentially scan the notebook as a whole and parse the text inside? Maybe if using a special pen?

Any thoughts?

Often when I touch on this topic in company, people will talk about their own difficulties with interacting with fellow humans.

In a way, the awkwardness seems very natural. It would be almost unnatural if we were all completely open and at ease when interacting with one another.

Perhaps social media has a part to play here, or maybe it's the same as it ever was?

My biggest concern is that as the bar for discovering technology gets higher, it may get withheld from the public. Feel free to share your concerns too.

I bought both a HackRF and an Ettus USRP B210 years ago for playing with.

I am yet to actually do anything of interest! Anyone want to share anything cool they’ve done in the SDR world?

Back to the tinfoil hats, do you believe communications on Signal can't be accessed by anyone except the two recipients? And why do you believe that?

Admittedly my position comes from a more ignorant place - that surveillance seems to be top priority for government agencies, and our governments decreasingly serve the wellbeing of the people. Pretty shallow I admit, but I can't actually believe that the most popular, privacy-centric chat platform isn't accessible by other parties. That would be absurd wouldn't it? Especially with government-mandated backdoors in everything.

Hasura recently upped their cloud prices big time, to the point where if I had to pay the current prices, I wouldn't be using the service.

The prices only apply to new projects it seems, but I'm obviously concerned about my existing ones.

Are there any precedents for companies staying true to old pricing models?

I'm wondering whether to begin the migration away from Hasura, or to rest assured that my pricing will never change. I'd prefer not to be doing a hectic migration on some kind of deadline.

Thanks!

Is there any merit/benefit to starting again? Is it possible to expect less from our devices and technology, and revert to a more low-tech, open ecosystem.

The idea is half-baked for sure. I just see a lot of negative sentiment here on HN about the trajectory of the internet and technology in general. And yet it is the one community ripe to solve it.

Not looking for anything concrete. Just general thoughts.

I'm interested in learning more about trackpads, with a view to add one to an electronics project. Rather than buying a trackpad and hooking it up to an arduino to see if it meets requirements, I figured I'd use the Mac trackpad I already have.

I really just want to see what the shape of the incoming data is, pipe it to a file, and process it later on (at least that's what I'll be doing in my electronics project).

Is it possible to do this with a mac trackpad? Just log the incoming data (time-series coordinates I imagine), throw it in a file.

Thanks!

When I look at the songs in playlist radio vs the songs in playlist recommended, there's rarely overlap.

Seems strange that these two features aren't using the same algorithm. Any experiences? Or maybe a dev could chime in?
