callesgg··on Scan of the Month: Lego Minifigures
That is the first time i have seen someone change the scrolling behavior and it actually feeling like it works.
callesgg··on Depression is more than low mood, it’s a change of consciousness
Depression for me is mostly being disengaged, not noticing anything, not wanting to think about anything, wanting to sleep 16 hours a day, feeling only low or neutral valence thoughts.
callesgg··on Depression is more than low mood, it’s a change of consciousness
Meh, people playing with words.

If you have taken psychedelics you know what a shift in consciousness feels like.

Depression does not feel like that.

callesgg··on Bar-tailed Godwits regularly travel more than 7,000 miles non-stop
What type of tracking tech would they be using? Satellite uplink?
callesgg··on Ask HN: What do you think about the no-code movement?
No code just means non text based code with limitations, perfect for people that are scared of text.
callesgg··on The Air Force has a plan to make jet fuel out of air
If you are on a aircraft carrier you have nuclear reactors for power.
callesgg··on We Are Beast Machines
I don’t know.. consensus reality is what I would call the reality that is portrayed in media or mabye the reality that fits the most nr of people.

Objective reality is best described with particle physics but that stuff can’t be understood by the human mind. The human mind can’t keep track of so much complexity at once.

callesgg··on We Are Beast Machines
Of subjective reality yes.

7) I am a model of a primate created/executed by the actual brain of the primate that the model is modeling. Ie, the primate is not like a block of steel cause it is modeling its own existence, while the block of steel is not modeling it’s own existence.
callesgg··on LANtenna attack reveals Ethernet cable traffic contents
You would probably need to pierce the cable with needles.
callesgg··on Oculess – Removes account requirements and telemetry from Oculus Quest devices
They might be referring to the xr-3 headset. https://varjo.com/products/xr-3/
callesgg··on The F.S.O. Safer could spill a million barrels of crude at any moment
The article mentions possible mines around the ship.

That said I am curious if anyone would buy the oil if someone went there with a tug boat and fetched the ship.

callesgg··on Navy nuclear engineer and wife arrested for trying to sell submarine secrets
Sad stuff.

Personally I can’t imagine that anyone would want information on nuclear reactors. What would one use that stuff for. It’s not the 50’s, how nuclear reactors work is well known. The limiting factors for building them are probably more about economics and finding manpower and ore not informational.

callesgg··on Ask HN: Why is Reddit so slow and unreliable?
Um i noticed this to. The IOS app runs smooth but the website is barely functional on IOS. It is not uncommon for me to give up and close down Reddit cause i can’t open a post.

I have until now just assumed they want the website to suck so that you are more likely to install the APP. But now as I think about it a bit deeper that seams a bit to crazy.

callesgg··on Swap on HDD: Does placement matter?
The less the reader arm has to move the faster seeking should be.

So if you place the swap near the rest of the files the hdd arm will not need to move so much.

Given that this was pretty much a clean Linux install I would assume that most files where at the start of the disk close to the best swap location.

callesgg··on SpaceX cleared for historic civilian launch next week
The Soyuz is a part of the Russian government driven space project.
callesgg··on Operations is not Developer IT
From my mentioned example one reason was cause the user loaded a csv file with incompatible data.

Or cause the user had filled in part two of a task but not part one and then tried to continue with parts of the task that where dependent on filling in part one.

Or the user tried to synchronize orders from the erp system but the erp system would not return any orders.

callesgg··on Operations is not Developer IT
I don’t know most of the times error messages on computers are garbage. People build up some type of fear for the error message format.

I have an example:

I built a logistics and invoicing tool a few years back with error messages that where human readable with clear proper messages that told the user exactly what they did wrong and it even proposed how they might fix the problem.

I don’t know how many times I had to go to the users workstations read the text out loud for them like they where a 5 year old and ask them what they thought it meant. They always knew what it meant but I had to read it for them it was embarrassing.

And these where university educated accountants that where using the software.

After a lifetime of garbage error messages like “error code 4513” people just zone out.

callesgg··on O.mg Cable
Its not that it is chirps it is that any iPhone beeing tracked by a airtag for a extended amount of time will inform its owner that it is being tracked.
callesgg··on The Complex Truth About ‘Junk DNA’
To me the hole notion of junk DNA seamed wrong or even ludicrous the first time I heard of it.

I have a hard time understanding that anyone with a proper education in the field would ever believe the junk dna thesis.

Could it be that it has something to do with me being educated in computers before being educated in biology? The analogy’s a person with computer knowledge would use might make it hard to see these things as junk.

callesgg··on Man can change his pupil size on command
I have meet a person like that before. He showed me as a party trick. Can’t be that unique.
callesgg··on iPhone 13 to support LEO satellite communication
SOS is free if you buy an actual iridium phone. Well, I think so… but I can’t find any sources for that now that I am looking.

You can get them used for 700 usd

callesgg··on Feeding cows seaweed cuts 99% of greenhouse gas emissions from their burps
We kill the cows and eat them. It’s not like we care about what they think. Let’s try to be consistent.
callesgg··on Sad, lonely people more likely to be ‘natural’ social psychologists (2018)
That is basicly the norm in social psychology.

Most research has large gaping holes and make big assumptions in the interpretation of the gathered data. This hole is then “resolved” in the discussion part of the paper by acknowledging that the experiment could have been done in a better way.

callesgg··on Comma Three [video]
Haha the fight between George’s ego and financial success is certainly a real thing.

But ultimately George is a hyper rational person and while it might seam like he is a no filter guy. He has a public persona and he uses it to sell the idea that they will never lower prices. If they need to lower the prices they will. That said I am not sure they need to lower the prices.

callesgg··on Comma Three [video]
It is a bit pricey. If that opinion on the price ends up being the consumer norm they will have to lower the price eventually.

If you drive allot 2400 usd could be worth it. With that said I am not sure that sales will go down due to the price.

callesgg··on Goose flying upside down is simply showing off, say experts
Took 20s to just accept them.
callesgg··on Gpsd bug may create a 1024 week time warp on October 23
I don’t understand if this is an actual bug.

I have heard that the timing on gps is somehow delivered as weeks and that the bitsize of the variable keeping track of the weeks is to small. So every now and then the weeks reset and this is managed through overrides in the clients. Is this bug not just referencing that thing, the override of the week rollover?

callesgg··on Home Depot is introducing power tools that won’t work if they’re stolen
You dont have to go to prison for prison to have an effect on your mind.

Do you get the analogy?

callesgg··on The James Webb Space Telescope has passed the final mission analysis review
I bet it will fail to deploy properly. But I hope not.
