absGeekNZ@lemmy.nzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What could I have done to prevent myself from being fired?English1·1 month agoI don’t want to sound judgmental. I’ve never been in your position.
One potential way to approach this would be to “bring the shelter staff on the juorney”.
- Tell them as soon as you confirm the job.
- Thank them for their support.
- Explain that you will be getting some equipment, and that you will need to connect it to Ethernet.
- Give them the great news, that you have organised housing for yourself, once that first paycheck comes in.
- Let them feel yes excitement, at the prospect of getting some momentum in your life.
- If they express concern, invite them to sit with you while you work, show them you are trustworthy.
This is a people problem, not a technical one. People that run shelters, especially volunteers, a good people. But they likely have been burned in the past; they will not blindly trust.
It is not really weird, OP is arguing that the universe itself is deterministic. Taking a mechanistic approach to refuting that claim is perfectly valid.
There are a myriad of examples of physical processes that are chaotic, this invalidates OP’s claim.
To address the morality point, if God is the source of goodness and morality; beyond the question of “which God?” ; it means objective morality doesn’t exist, because God can change it’s mind about what is “good”.
But that is a discussion finds a different threat.
OK let’s just start with the assertion that there of a casual link back to the beginning of time.
We will begin with the big one first. We don’t even know if time had a beginning.
If we assume that time began at the instant of the big bang. There is no plausible link between my bean induced fart, and some random energy fluctuation, there are just too many chaotic interactions between then and now.
There are so many things we don’t know, making the extremely bold claim that free will doesn’t exist, is dangerously naive.
We can’t even solve Navier-Stokes; neuronal interaction is so far beyond what we are currently capable of, it’s ridiculous.
My recommendation to anyone contemplating this question. Assume free will exists; if you are wrong, it will made no difference; you were destined to believe that anyway.
absGeekNZ@lemmy.nzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had an experience you can't explain?English31·2 months agoThe stock market is chaos, driven by bias and a bunch of unknown and unknowable variables.
A simple example with 3 players.
- P1 thinks stock A is a good buy (for whatever reason) at $1/unit. P1 decides to buy putting upward pressure on the price.
- P2 has been holding a bunch of A for a while and has a number ($1) in mind to sell at, P1 can’t know this information. This sale puts downward pressure on the price.
- If P1 & P2 have the same number of shares, the pressures are equal, and the price doesn’t move. If they don’t the price moves either up or down.
- P3 has been watching A, sees that it moves and decides that this is a good time to buy, (going down its a bargain, going up its on the rise get in early), putting further upward pressure on the stock.
Each action by the different players causes something to happen to the price, no-one can know all the internal thought patterns of all the other interested parties, and thus can never have perfect information. And even with perfect information, it may not be possible to predict, as some stocks interact in non-predictable ways.
e.g. Nvidia goes up, TSMC usually goes up, but not always. TSMC going down can be caused by Nvidia, but also thousands of other things also.
Conclusion: can the stock market be predicted? General trends - Yes, specific stock movements - No!
absGeekNZ@lemmy.nzto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish2·2 months agoI like it that the site says the max length…this is not common. I wish it was.
On the internet, nobody knows that you are a horse.
Whilst I appreciate the Python reference.
I believe the meme is implying a far more intimate fart, as in contact between the farter and the fartee.
Nice catch! Autocorrect is a pain…
I’ve been loosely following this for years. Great to see it getting close to the deployable state.

Pun intended
Also the eventual stem cell treatment for replacing damaged Inner ear cells
absGeekNZ@lemmy.nzto Android@lemdro.id•Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejectionEnglish4·2 months agoSeems google is trying to keep file sync on android for only themselves.
Syncthing no longer developing for Android.
No resolution from back and forth with Google, play store policies and lack of developers.
absGeekNZ@lemmy.nzto Linux@lemmy.ml•When did you start working around with Linux?English1·2 months agoNot really, i first used Linux in 2001 or 3… It’s been some time. I think it was fedora 1. I was 21/3.
First installed Linux in 2008, Ubuntu 8.04 and started daily driving Ubuntu 10.04 in late 2010.
Since then I’ve used a lot of different distros, I’m now running mint.
In saying that, my son has only had Linux (and Chromebooks at school), I got him to help install his own system, he was 7 at the time.
The only really limiting factor is the pressure holding ability of your cylinder wall and the sealing surfaces.
Hey you wanna lift 6000T, hydraulics will do it!
I like to explain it using the word “spend”.
Like all levers you spend one quantity to get another. Usually distance/force; you spend distance to get force, or you spend force to get distance.
Hydraulic pressure is pretty crazy, power densities can get insane.

It depends on the distance to object. Also the distance between the object and something to compare it to.
