From the outside it feels somewhat more doable to be a pro , then a band or solo-artist, since there are quite a few orchestra's around that hire people on a stable basis. Spots are limited, but it's not super hard.

I do think it's fair to assume that if Hemsworth openly its likely to be possible more young kids will take it. But it also depends on how he talks about it.

The Madhyamaka way, translated to the great middle way, mostly refers to combining freedom & meaning from emptiness. Meaning things are neither real, nor or they an illusion. Therefore the middle.

This is because understanding emptiness often leads to nihilism: "nothing really matters". The opposite seeing things as real, instead of acknowledging everything is changing, often leads to suffering: if laptop breaks, relationships end etc. Both are true and both are false.

The goal of madhymaka is to explain middle way between those and also practical how that leads to freedom, joy and meaning in every moment of life.

In the end the goal of Buddhism is not to change outer conditions but to get to a state were hapiness is experienced regardless of outer experiences.

My university vpn only worked for a few days while studying in China.

But there is this tiny little vpn software being spread around. Not sure if it's true but I remember it's falun gong teaming up with the CIA. Which at the time was able to go undetected, I think they keep rotating the IPS or something.

Was interesting how fast that tool spread "offline" between international students. Also Chinese have it but its less known among them.

Not sure if it still works:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freegate

[Edit] Here is an old hn comment saying it doesn't work anymore and other options that are also hard;

Your point is only valid if it actually lowers sugar and other carbs intake. Which isn't the case for most people.

Next to that. With diet drinks people drink more since they feel like they can get a way with, some do with sugar variants as well, but seems like more people binge drink diet versions which could lead to higher exposure relatively.

The has been processing sugar for millennia, these chemicals are pretty new.

Still enjoy a beer a bit too much. When I'm super happy and then have a beer it just adds to it.

It also can help me relax if I'm working to much. One can argue it's not needed, but at times nice.

Works well. You just pay 70,- per month extra.

But for a lot of people that never do that, that's hard, the more closer edit mode is to reality to easier it is to understand what it will look like and the less brainpower it takes the creator. But yeah in some cases with notion the difference between read and edit mode is not significantly indicated.

But I use it when I'm lazy, tired or at times drinking.

And then it's really nice. At times it costs me too much time solving it's mistakes. But then it nails something perfectly and I'm impressed again.

However if you work with it a lot you realize it doesn't understand reality, it predicts language.

It reminds me of YouTube videos of chess when human start to figure out chess bots and the tricks they use to draw out time.

Understanding language is super impressive, but a far cry from general intelligence. Maybe from here open ai can build further. But I have a hard time believing that this will be a foundation for general intelligence.

A lot of animals have a form of general intelligence but cant do math or language. Yet in some ways are more capable then the latest self driving cars.

Putin calling him a traitor is a death sentence. If he didn't already plan to, now his only option seems to be to move against Putin.

In don't see how they can both stay in power for much longer. One of them has to go.

His videos are consistently insisting he is just defending and not hostile to Russia. Which is of course how he should position himself.

But Putin essentially gave him the death sentence so one or the other has to go.
