I’m not a solipsist.

I fucking hate timezones. Whatever it is, I’d rather read the current clock as 4 a.m. even if it’s noon than have timezones.

Squashing

The s “squash” command is where we see the true utility of rebase. Squash allows you to specify which commits you want to merge into the previous commits. This is what enables a “clean history.” During rebase playback, Git will execute the specified rebase command for each commit. In the case of squash commits, Git will open your configured text editor and prompt to combine the specified commit messages. This entire process can be visualized as follows:

Note that the commits modified with a rebase command have a different ID than either of the original commits. Commits marked with pick will have a new ID if the previous commits have been rewritten.

You can also amend for a softer approach, which works better if you don’t push to remote after every commit.

The git commit --amend command is a convenient way to modify the most recent commit. It lets you combine staged changes with the previous commit instead of creating an entirely new commit. It can also be used to simply edit the previous commit message without changing its snapshot. But, amending does not just alter the most recent commit, it replaces it entirely, meaning the amended commit will be a new entity with its own ref. To Git, it will look like a brand new commit, which is visualized with an asterisk (*) in the diagram below.

You can keep amending commits and creating more chunky and meaningful ones in an incremental way. Think of it as converting baby steps into an adult step.

Who would use that kind of type coercion? Who? I want to see his face.

Cultural Evolution of Pants https://peterturchin.com/cultural-evolution-of-pants/

If you are in North America or Western Europe and look around, on any particular day, you will find most people wearing pants. But why is it the standard item of clothing for people, especially men belonging to the Western civilization. Why not a kilt, a robe, a tunic, a sarong, or a toga?

Thanks.

I think that my question is a bit too soon for this paper. Right? It takes time to develop theory and implications.

there’s no /c/veganpizza yet, but there is /r/veganpizza

There are too many blogs and posts.

Can’t even read it.

We present an implementation of a recently proposed procedure for defining time, based on the description of the evolving system and its clock as noninteracting, entangled systems, according to the Page and Wootters approach. We study how the quantum dynamics transforms into a classical-like behavior when conditions related to macroscopicity are met by the clock alone, or by both the clock and the evolving system. In the description of this emerging behavior finds its place the classical notion of time, as well as that of phase-space and trajectories on it. This allows us to analyze and discuss the relations that must hold between quantities that characterize the system and clock separately, in order for the resulting overall picture to be that of a physical dynamics as we mean it.

“evolving system and its clock as noninteracting, entangled systems”

Interesting. Is this related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternalism_(philosophy_of_time) ? (Block Time)

Just like with the COVID-19 pandemic, another endorsement of gloryholes.

I mean integrated directly into the interface of the apps. Example: they have an “Editor” tab for Word that can analyze and get into the document directly. I expect that this will be where the ChatGPT tools will be implemented. Or is there some professional version of ChatGPT that does that already? I have only tested the free one.

Wait, copilot and ChatGPT use are skills? Isn’t that a bit like how using a phone is a skill?

It’s about at the same level as “Microsoft Office” as a skill. They’re probably working on embedding ChatGPT and DALL-E in that suite. I’ve actually asked ChatGPT for some tips on using advanced features that I didn’t know about and it worked nicely.

What would even be the design solution without massive empty space? Add a lot of columns? Make the long content horizontal instead of vertical?

It is, but I suck at it. Hopefully, someone will grab the screenshot and make it into a meme.

Reload in “Reader View” or something similar, the paywall is weak.
