I did read the story. Here's the punchline:

> Correlating the existence and use of hallucinogenic mushrooms in both Russia and Mexico, Kuryokhin posited that drugs had ultimately inspired the successful propaganda of the Russian revolution. In fact, Lenin had consumed so many mushrooms that their fungal “consciousness” had completely consumed him in return. By the end, Kuryokhin put it plainly, saying, “I have absolutely irrefutable proof that the October Revolution was carried out by people who had been consuming certain mushrooms for many years. And these mushrooms, in the process of being consumed by these people, had displaced their personalities. These people were turning into mushrooms. In other words, I simply want to say that Lenin was a mushroom.” He also made references to mushrooms being made out of radio waves, as if he didn’t already sound crackpot enough.

So no, "Lenin was a mushroom" was just a figure of speech.

Edit: The hoax was that he used psychedelic mushrooms, and that they "inspired the successful propaganda of the Russian revolution".
> I now find that soda is very sweet

In a vaguely similar vein, I pretty much exclusively[1] drink "diet" drinks (i.e. sweeteners rather than sugar, not that I think they are particularly healthly). Now, whenever I have the non-diet versions (which is very rare), I prefer the taste somewhat, but find them to be unpleasantly sticky and syrupy. It almost feels like they need more water adding to them, even if it's from a can/bottle so presumably mixed correctly.

[1] Unless it's a mixed alcoholic drink, but those are so different anyway
I want to add that it is healthy to see mental health professionals and its probably best if everyone sees one once in their life.
There is misinformation about sunscreen. I'm not going to go and advocate that people don't use sunscreen, rather, for my own self, I've decided that it's important to have positive, moderate exposure to the sun in order to develop a healthy tan, to avoid overexposure, and to use sunscreen and protective clothing if I'm sure to be out in heavy sun.

It's a complex, dynamical issue and there is conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of sunscreen to just blanket reduce melanoma: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22994908

Not only that, there have been some controversies about sunscreens themselves containing questionable ingredients, some of which might actually be carcinogenic. If you're going to market your product as cancer preventative, but go and put carcinogens into that very same product, my trust level in your industry has been reduced by somewhere in the range of 25%-75%.

Somehow, in all this, there are people who think any raw sun exposure is going to cause cancer. That's actually misinformation. Melanin is known to be a protective. How can one go about increasing melanin? By tanning in moderation, letting your skin adapt to the sun. Of course there are people who simply don't tan easily, and yes, they should be cautious. But I'm fortunate to have skin that tans, and I'm going to let it do that!

the nebulous billionaires are really just a illustrative term to signify the disproportionate effect of very centralized money in general in the American system. I think you'll find very few honnest knowledgeable people to dispute this.

if common good is your objective, then there is no doubt that controlling individual & corporate political donations is essential. right now, political corruption is straight up legal. entities can freely trade money for future political measures, and politicians can't live without that money, because otherwise their opponents outspends them, getting a statistically higher chance of winning.
And that volatility should make this asset class (if it is one) unsuitable to trade for most banks and many institutional investors, who have VaR limits. The VaR of bitcoin is off the charts.

That is game-dependent, so we can't be sure it would result in pro-level when playing chess. In fact, it is very possible that it wouldn't because chess has a much smaller branching factor than go (and many more practically forced moves etc.).

Also, changing the heuristic you use to chose candidates (selectivity) doesn't mean you're not doing search anymore!
You are obviously bound to the supply of the market. What I'm saying is that the market is bigger than you assume. The number of women interested in and capable of a career in programming is much greater than the number of those who actually want to work at your company.
A lot of the examples brought up are innovations in communication, not AI. Phones, social media, and search are communication platforms. Just like books, newspapers, telegraph, telephones, internet, they enable communication, interaction, ideas, innovation, etc. Even what we consider AI today is just a complicated birds nest of human driven math. Sure, we can go ahead and classify phones as co evolving AI, but the same can be said of plants, trees, and animals that have co evolved with us as well.

The stdlib doesn't have anything to use files.

The C win32 API CreateFile() has 6 arguments each more obscure than the previous one. Gotta support sync and async in a single function.

Documentaries are just on another level, in my opinion, because they take on the style of what you've learned in school. People expect advertisements to be fake, which is why they have to be so postmodern now.
Of course they will only make the news in CA when those things happen. The news here in CA caters to people who live here.

You are quite narrow minded and exhibit exactly what they describe as "coastal elite".
I have had the same thought experiments that lead to this inevitable conclusion, that we are the vehicle that will create a new, immortal, more efficient intelligence and there won't really be a place left for us slow, in-evolved, inefficient, ape-like creatures. It's an unpleasant thought, but what other conclusion do you all see? I see some people arguing that "this is a bit out there" etc. but whether it's sooner, or later, i think it's inevitable.

The interesting thing to me is that life and evolution propagate because of the laws of physics. It's theorized that life is a chain reaction that evolves out of a simple necessity to be as efficient as possible. So this new life for will potentially depart from that natural basis for evolution.

What do you guys think though, do you really think a merge will happen? This is obviously a long term existential and depressing discussion, but really, when an intelligence with much more potential than ours arrises, will there really be any point in us lingering around? Do we even have a chance at this merge? I mean, I guess I see the urgency, we would need to start now, so that any innovation in AI is really linked to improving our own cognition from the get-go, otherwise we are just a stepping-stone for life originating from this solar system.
Well, supply and demand is generally accepted economic theory, so yes. No one is claiming it's the sole reason for the value of the USD, but it is certainly a (huge) contributing factor.

Wow, I'll be damned. I looked at this stuff a long time ago, and (I know I'm lazy) never looked again. Apparently ETrade has an API too. Interesting!
I know you probably meant that as a comment about correlation vs. causation, which is understandable. I agree that this is a complex issue, and that there are more factors than just sun exposure. But just so you're aware, your analogy rubbed me the wrong way. My father's death was definitely related to sun exposure in some way or another, and probably other factors like diet (he ate a lot of sugar), psychology/hormones (he experienced a lot of stress), and yes, genetics.

Wait a sec. caloric restriction is a “radical diet” now? And how was this not the first thing that doctors tried before going straight to bariatric surgery? Nobody was like hey, maybe we should try to lose some weight first?
Bitcoin Heist Adds $77M to Total Hacked Hauls of $15B
It was some time ago, and a much smaller amount, but when I withdrew money from them it was no problem, and reasonably prompt. (Same with Fanduel, BTW - another industry some people are skeptical about).
I really wish Guix and NixOS had more usage in the industry.

I am not sure if these are the projects that are going to drive the innovation, if they are only showing the way for the 2nd-generation functional package managers, or if this will just remain a niche forever.
He was talking about market making, not clearing. The bank doesn’t really take a principal risk on clearing. It does on market making.
It becomes a lot smaller after you boil it. But, it's fairly easy to eat all that, with my vast appetite. For anyone with weight problems, appetite and hunger tends to be way too large anyway.
Instead the really smart people write abstraction upon abstraction until they can achieve the level of cleverness they wanted in the first place. I'm not sure all that extra code is really that much better.

I was on a Mac until a month ago and I never had any of the issues you're having.

Some of the behavior you mention is also by design.

P.S.: what's a good editor for the Mac in your opinion, then? Sublime Text is good and native, but the file explorer shows folders first instead of folder content mixed like everywhere else on macOS--and that's _actually_ infuriating.
I actually love it. I was pretty close to suicide with how poorly I was feeling mentally and physically and how nothing I did "worked" no matter how hard I tried.

Since starting insulin I've gotten a bit better. Able to run and train more than ever, better mental clarity, eat like a more or less normal person, etc.
This is like the employer I used to work with who said "well google has been hacked so therefore us storing passwords in plaintext is okay". Maybe I'm toast if the NSA takes an interest, but there are an awful lot of bad actors out there without the level of funding or resources of the NSA. Of course I'll never be "100% secure", but making it as impossible, or at least as difficult as possible, for someone in Russia to socially engineer their way into my email is worth spending time and money on.

iirc male CS grads outnumber females by more than 4:1, so ~20% seems about spot on, no? It's something that would have to be attacked at a level far before employment, e.g., social constructs and the education system. Once it comes down to the employer they only have one pool from which to draw applicants.
If you want to get the "team vegan" take on reversing type 2 diabetes with diet then watch Forks Over Knives on Netflix. Its actually not a purely vegan film like everyone claims, because the doctors talk about limiting meat (e.g. 5% meat intake), if not completely removing.

Is this Linux?

The site should be more direct about whether or not it is Linux.

I don't have time to wade through reams of words to work out what something is. Just tell me.

It's not clear at all why this matters or is better than other operating systems. If this is a competitor to Linux then the first thing they need to address is "why should you care?", if it is Linux, then the first thing it should adress is "Why you should use this over other distros"

Thank you for pointing this out. As an historian, the appeal to a deep historical argument in these situations drive me nuts. We find ultra-rationalist, data-driven people like Yudkowsky relying on a hugely flawed and imperfect historical record to make confident pronouncements.

In my opinion, the historical record from, say, 1517 (or even 1717) is so full of gaps and inconsistencies that it is impossible to make even an order of magnitude level estimate regarding something like rate of technological innovation (or even world GDP, arguably).

Economists and social scientists are often guilty of this as well - for instance, I really liked the parts of Pinker's Better Angels of Our Nature that dealt with relatively reliable quantitative data from the 20th and 19th centuries. But once he starts talking about things like the An Lushan rebellion or the fall of the Roman Empire, it's a complete mess from an empirical point of view, doing things like taking the numbers of fatalities cited by contemporary participants in an historical conflict at face value. No self-respecting historian would make such big assumptions from such faulty data.

Anyway, I realize this is incidental to the larger argument here but insofar as questions about exponential growth of technology draw on historical arguments, I wanted to throw it out there.

It's pretty common in cats for there to be a honeymoon period after treatment begins. The lower blood sugar levels allow the still viable ß cells to resume producing insulin.

After a time, however, the process that was killing them off in the first place often reappears and insulin is required again.

The biggest factor I've seen in previous cats with diabetes - dry vs wet food. Switch from free-feeding dry to measured, timed canned portions made a night/day difference.
> But if we're on a more-than-linear increase, then we should be seeing more and more technological growth in very recent timeframes, not needing to reach back centuries or millennia.

We are. Look at the time frame from the invention of the transistor to everyone doing nearly everything online. It's less than the average human lifetime.

Look at the timeline from the first computer program to play chess, to beating chess world champions, to the recent announcement of DeepMind that beat all existing computer programs after teaching itself the game within the span of a few hours.

Look at the timeframe of computer programs that take dictation to programs that automatically translate between nearly all commonly used languages on Earth.

The same could be said for computer vision, computer music, computers driving, and so on.

I think the people skeptical of the intelligence explosion are missing the forest for the trees. Our progress in the last century alone is mind boggling. Certainly we can debate the values of the parameters in the intelligence explosion we're in the midst of, but denying it entirely is silly.
I agree... much as the monkeys and birds are left in their shrinking forests, we too will be left behind to dwindle.

Also the CME & CBOE bitcoin contracts like many other futures commodities allow "spread" trading across duration. This has a dampening affect as well. In a lot of commodities spread trading volume exceeds that of the outright.

It means they will allow their account at the exchange to settle client trades. This will involve them using their existing collateral at the exchange to underwrite the client trades. They will in turn demand collateral from the client but may be potentially exposed if the client defaults.

Your point is correct, but the thing to note is that until AlphaGo I don't think we've seen an AI improve quite that fast. The AlphaGo Fan had an elo ~3,150 and it was correct that Lee Sedol (elo ~3,500) would win against it.

Google showed up to play Lee Sedol with a ~3,750 elo network. 600 elo in 6 months is basically unprecedented growth in Go AI strength, and took AlphaGo from "it can play a good professional game" to "gee, maybe the No. 1 human can take a game off it".

I'm getting the number from the AlphaGo wiki page.
There were no storms. I lived in the USSR at the time and once even went to a show where Kuryokhin performed.

The mushroom thing was just a silly joke and a not very popular one at that.
It’s smart because holding BTC in a Tulip-bulb crisis is insanely risky. This current crisis is due to elastic demand based on short-lived, fashionable attention of a tiny currency, whereas common currencies are more inelastic because their usage and scale lends themselves to more stability. The value will collapse when people lose interest or when large institutions get over the mania of New Relationship Energy. Durable, appreciating assets that are easily liquidated are ideal for holding balance sheet value. For transactions, BTC maybe fine but even that is risky.

It will be interesting to see if shorting will be possible.
+1. It's laughable. Segregated accounts, position limits, circuit breakers, margin limits, spreads across duration to reduce risk, etc are all GOOD things. The counter party risk in the exchanges right now is HUGE in the bitcoin world. Pass on that.
Dried fruit is basically candy. Fresh fruit has already been cultivated to be extra sweet, extra large, and extra tasty, so it's bad enough by itself. And then you concentrate it, now you can eat many multiple times more sugar in one sitting than the fruit you would see in the wild.

The only saving grace I see is that at least it still has the fiber, fruit juice discards with that and just leaves the sugar.

I stand corrected, thank you. I recall being told specifically in 7th grade social studies that that was an actual case in the 1920's where someone did yell fire. I'm aware of other cases where the court decision was, "here's a ridiculous extreme we obviously wouldn't go to, so obviously let's just rule that it doesn't apply at all," and I hate it, so I'll stop using this :)

It’s common to receive an annual bonus in cash, with some percentage deferred for a few years in some form. The form can vary: hedge funds often put the money into their fund(s) and you can withdraw it after a couple of years, publically traded companies tend to offer restricted stock units. The more you earn, that larger the percentage that is deferred too usually. The fraction can be anywhere from 5% to 50%.
