Interesting story I thought more of the folks here might want to see. For some more context, see two levels up from the comment I shared: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44681816

Disclaimer: I'm not a researcher in this topic and I have no idea what I'm talking about, just putting my thoughts here

I think that depends on how you define stress? The brain is all electrical signals, so from this simplistic point of view there shouldn't be such thing as "stress", but from my understanding the connections, even though electrical, produce chemical by-products which have to be "flushed away" by the gray matter. This and just human experience suggests brain can get "tired".

However, I don't think the societal problems throughout history had much relevance to the individual stress brains my experience, but more caused by cognitive dissonance when you try to put two conscious beings together, as every brain is different so produces different outputs to same input. Additionally, we still are very much driven by our animal instincts, even though we like to pretend we've "ascended" and have free will.

Now the question is, where can we evolve from here? What evolutionary pressure is there to evolve? We've pretty much peaked as lifeforms, we can dominate any and every environment we want to the point of being detrimental to the Earth itself.

Also this highly scientific documentary I re-watched recently called "Idiocracy (2006)" suggests that higher brain function doesn't necessarily increase the chance of passing genes along, and I tend to agree.

I looked up Idiocracy (2006) and only found a comedy inspired drama. Are you sure thats the same one?

Yes, that's the one, I was being sarcastic.

Now that I'm doing DevOps mostly these days, I wanted to at least put my experience from the Network Engineering days to some use. One thing I noticed constantly is that basic networking knowledge is lacking in otherwise great engineers more often than I'd like to see. Therefore, this is my attempt at an introduction article that aims to be accessible to everyone :)

"I Don't Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People"

You should probably check what your contract says

People in Turkey definitely don't use X-ray, they use Röntgen. Same for Azerbaijan.

I was just recently trying to set up Quest 2 with Linux. You have to enable dev mode and sideload an app called ALVR on it, and the PC. Wireless streaming works but not great fidelity. Doesn't support Wayland.

On Windows - Download the official Quest app, everything works OOB

Sorry for what is probably a stupid question, but do the games run on the Quest or on the PC or a mix of both? If I never used it with a PC, what could I do with it?
