   I remember when everyone was ordering Mac Minis. "How many mac minis you got" down at the local pub. Funny times.

   This is the kind of handwringing over $100 ethics I come to HN for!

   Apple has been stingy with RAM in consumer hardware. RAM prices will continue escalating, some analysts say into 2030, and this will make it more difficult to build next generation phones with sufficient memory for meaningful ML workloads.

   Scripts and packages moving from steamos- to holo-. "holo" is the internal name for the base OS layer. Pulling the product brand out of the plumbing is what you do when the plumbing is going to run somewhere the brand doesn't

   Yes? Read about their water rights lobbying and lobbying against plastic recycling regulations. Our descendents have to deal with Coca Cola’s externalities. You can’t see these second order effects immediately, which is understandable, but

   I think there’s two separate things here that you seem to be conflating - absurdly rich and unethical. I’d argue Newell is mostly the former; though many or most billionaires align on both those metrics.

   I think his company has created far more value and goodwill than his networth indicates. True juicers like Bezos and Musk are different.

   Perhaps I’m close to the end of my lifecyles. Meditative bliss feels more intense than sense pleasures for me, sense pleasures feel dull in comparison regardless of my sensitivity.

    Everything has a lifecycle, including juggernauts like Google. Looks like the end user hasn't been the focus for a while.

    Interesting post sharing the author's experiences. Personally I've experienced deeper bliss from meditation than from any sense pleasure, but it is not always reliably accessible in every sit.

    What I can see from this release is that SteamOS is being converted from device firmware into a general-purpose distribution that happens to boot into a game launcher. Quite a bit of a version jump in the dependencies as well.

    I'll accept any kind of jocularity in the current climate!

    I like the 30 year mortgage analogy, something people can connect with. 2% increase in mortgage rate likely means low 6 figures difference in total interest paid.

    I suspect it's not just this, there's plenty of 'optimization' around rubberbanding usage limits as well as routing to a different model in the backend. The incentives are too strong.

    Nonjudgemental self observation is table stakes. And I mean as much of the time as you can manage (Eventually all the time).

    The difference between American and Russian propaganda is that Russians know it's propaganda.

    "What are you going to do, lob a stone at me from 300m away?" shouted the man on the parapet, moments before impact.

    I find intensive marketing/PR efforts are often inversely correlated with the claims being made - whether it's products or geopolitics. Israel certainly engages in very intense marketing on certain fronts, but truth cannot be obsc

    How do you know that if you cut off your head "you're gone forever"? Death is an event horizon we can't see past, yet the experience of it in the first person is likely one of the most remarkable in this life.

    Following this kind of process blindly and optimising for it leads to a terrible product. However it can lead to more revenue in the short term.

    I find the description of consciousness in this article very narrow (Only arising post language). Post language consciousness is a particular type of consciousness, and the same can be said of post DMT consciousness (Which is sometimes with
