Always remember that internet conversations are carried by a small group of antisocial losers, and a most of media articles complaining about society are specifically targeting that small but loud group.

An average person has a lot more in common with you than with the imaginary protagonist of this blogpost, who is really smart and wants to show that everyone else is really dumb.

Like other normal people, I discuss politics with friends; both with the ones I mostly agree with and the ones I mostly disagree with. We need to understand game theory and military strategy to have a useful conversation.


The microphones and speakers are what I care about. Alexa is the perfect hands-off universal remote + podcast speaker.

Is there a way to flash the Echo hardware to make it work with Home Assistant without pinging Amazon HQ?


I bought a Thinkpad P16s because I wanted to use Linux but got used to the beautiful Macbook screen. So far I'm very happy with it.


Back when I was forced to use a Mac I used BetterTouchTool for this. It's a fantastic tool in general, and the window management is sensible.


Why Librewolf and not Waterfox or any other open source fork?


because I don't think a tiny browser fork that moves too far from the original is maintainable and secure long term. even someone of microsofts size seems to think so. librewolf is mostly config changes and couple small patches removing superficial anti-feature like pocket.


I saw this talk in person, and I liked so much it inspired to spend four years doing a PhD in automated theorem proving.

As things stand, I'm starting one this October!


Congrats, and good luck!


Thanks!

If anybody has any suggestion in preparing for a PhD in a major university, I'd appreciate it: I expect these four years to be fun but also very challenging.


I completed my PhD in neuroscience at a mid-tier university.

One piece of advice I can give you is to stay focused, but keep sight of the freedom and flexibility your time as a grad student will offer you.

I was lucky to have an advisor that granted me flexibility to learn topics outside of his expertise through self-study and collaborations. That flexibility ended up shaping my early career.

The last quip I’ll give you is to prioritize your physical and mental health. Go to the gym/run/exercise, meditate, and eat enough. Grad school is difficult, and peripheral health issues make it worse.


Your work is nothing if you don't become part of the community. As much as the lone genius meme can be appealing when you're a PhD student, academia is the realm of anonymous reviews, grant-based survival and kafkaesque bureaucracy. If you don't fit into a research community which will give you support, that's all you'll be left with. That and a stack of worthless papers.


Would this mean that the trading hours for stock of companies listed in both NYSE branches would be extended by one hour due to time differences?


Well technically there are different trading hours, calendars and sessions for each market / segment of NYSE. In practice though I don't think you will find many companies listed on multiple subsegments of NYSE in 2025.

Roughly speaking, you will find the prestigious / big market cap / rich companies listed on NYSE main market, ETFs on NYSE Arca, small caps on NYSE American (ex Amex), and very small caps on NYSE National.

The listing requirements and prices, as well as fee structure also differ for each market. National has a fee structure to incentive adding liquidity for instance.

If the asynchronicity bothers you, imagine that you can also trade e.g. HSBC secondary listing on NYSE NY market hours + the ADR of HSBC HK on NYSE NY hours + HSBC primary listing on LSE on London hours + HSBC HKSE on HK hours for a lot of fun.


I can't believe Microsoft finally made Windows open source.


Yay, let's "fine-tune" and share the result with everyone!


That's a good reason to include the tax in the price in the US. How would consumers know how much they will pay otherwise?


"M"?


i just tried it, that seems to do nothing

the actual shortcut is ctrl + shift + L, btw
