@jeffalyanak Yeah but there are still limits. You can't just buy a new processor, plug it into your existing setup, and be good to go. You'd have to like, buy another motherboard, and then network them together. :/
Hmm. Would it be possible to make a computer work with just buying components and more or less networking them however and have it all sort itself out? Like, just buy a new processor, plug it in, and have the system figure it out, the way most external hardware works? I guess you need to have the motherboard link everything in cohesively to make efficient use of stuff, so that degree of modularity is probably impractical. :/
@RainierBeringer@hntooter Yeah, I saw that the article was months old and I hadn't heard anything about it. Bit of a relief - imagine if we actually had to change all our infrastructure like that? Be such a pain. :/
@hntooter Dude, what? Oh man, if this turns out to be accurate it's gonna be such a huge thing. Suddenly we all have to avoid radio and wifi? That's a couple trillion dollars in changed infrastructure, right there. :/
@Toromino I duno though, I'll consider it. Do you have any instances you'd recommend to me? The only interesting one I can think of id fuckonthefirst.date, which is more of a statement than I'm looking to make today. XD
Yes, you. I've been meditating based on instructions from Culadasa's The Mind Illuminated, and I'm super impressed. Highly recommended, you should try it.
I will note, though, you should probably get the book and read it first. There are a lot of very important details - I never knew meditating could be so complicated. For example, he recommends that the core exercise should be to focus attention on the meditation object (usually the breath) while simultaneously trying to expand your peripheral awareness - trying to stretch the mind in two didections, basically. He also has a lot of insights to share into how the mind works. (Like the fact that attention and awareness are separate things and that you can have both at once and use them differently, for example.)
Is there any good concise summaries of economics on measuring and adjusting for the abuses of market economies, such as externalities, power differentials, and limited or inaccurate information? I want to read more on these subjects. :/
