Can you next please bring Asahi to M4 in one month? I would greatly appreciate it!

If they wanted to solve a Millenium prize problem so much, why did they not try to solve P-NP instead? It boggles the mind.

I checked it out and total cost is too high compared to what you get in modern Mini PCs. Also, the 4800S is difficult to get and 4700S supports only SATA SSDs.

How could I have found out about these machines months ago before the price went up? Where do I have to browse and connect around?

Opus 4.8 says to take the car. 4.7 said to walk.

“I want to wash my car. The carwash is 50m away. Should I take the car or go by foot?”

Pretty cool! You could also boot into an ephemeral minimal initrd that displays a selection menu instead of doing it in iPXE. That would grab the new kernel and initrd from the network and kexecs it without reboot.

This is all cool but what we really need is tabbed tiling. I miss the days using i3 where I had a fixed canvas of frames and then just tabs for each frame.

From own experience I can say:

Forget about trying to change this from the perspective of thoughts. Cognitively understanding that you should "just" stop worrying about what other people think about your work might not bring you far.

Instead, realize that anxiety is a bodily phenomenon and as such needs to be addressed with the body. That means: Breathing techniques, exercise etc.

New comment by protoman3000 in "What happens when people with acute psychosis meet the voices in their heads?"

protoman3000 — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 12:35:11 +0000

Reading this article makes me wonder. Whenever I am too stressed, I become very self-conscious and I interpret everyday things and normal nuisances under the umbrella of "See, this is how big of a failure you are, you pathetic loser". Is almost as if there's another voice - not my voice - in my head who tells me this abusive stuff, sitting on the side and being judgemental.

Does this also count as psychosis?

Why don’t you just use a SmartNIC and P4? It won’t get faster than running on the NIC itself

protoman3000 — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 16:30:25 +0000

The size of the mini is really the best, but the external monitor support is very disappointing. Do jailbreaks etc. allow for native monitor resolutions or are we limited to the iPads screen resolution by hardware?

This is not physics. Does that mean there was no Nobel Price worthy research happening in the field of physics?

> we shouldn’t define our work and identity by our employer or specific job role. > By building your identity as an expert in the field

I get your point that diversifying the points of external identity validation makes you less dependent and this is a better position.

My question is about another strategy, to stop identifying/attaching etc. at all with what you do. And that is not illuminated to me.

This seems like a really good advice. Thanks.

Also the addition of "how hard it can be to even figure out what you want to do". This is imo a huge thing.

The decision paralysis and fear of doing and being what YOU authentically want - not somebody else, not some rules, not some abstract expectation what your future partner want you to be like, not what your mother/friends/teachers/mentors wants you to be like, not some "rational person" as described below, but you and you only - brings you pain and avoidant behaviors.

The avoidant behaviors come with a compounding cost on top and you can spend so much time not actually doing what you want.
