Yes. Jupyter kernels all talk over zeromq channels, irrespective of the front-end user interface.

There is a little bug icon in the toolbar of your open notebook in both user interfaces. The bug only appears if you have a kernel that supports debugging (e.g., ipykernel). So if you see the little bug on the right-hand side of the toolbar for your notebook, when you enable it, you should start seeing the variables in your memory state and you should have the ability to click in the gutter to add breakpoints.

A self-contained solar powered cargo-container-sized box that can create calories with minimal top-ups of material might make some marginal areas habitable.

The answer to this is related to the answer of: "would you prefer to be in the lower class of Norwegian society or the lower class of nearby Belarussian society?"

You take two leaps here that don't follow:

OP proposed that advertising is psychologically manipulating people into believing their lives are incomplete and asked whether that is a harm. You conflated this manipulation with built-in desires; it is not that.

By analogy, it is as though OP argued that deliberately withholding food from prisoners to cause them distress from hunger is a harm and you are countering that OP may as well describe hunger itself as harmful.

> Most people don’t subscribe to the Buddhist point of view, though.

Buddhism does not consider desires an inherently harmful. Being captured by desires and constantly craving can be, but that's not the same as the mere existence of desires that can arise.

> The main defense against this situation is that it does not work to improve citizens lives. It only benefits a small part of society and it will make the rest suffer.

This pattern is attenuated when there's a reliable external source of energy. Hungary is not a closed system that will decay into entropy. It has regular funding from the EU which allows the disequilibrium to continue.
