I really think most Psychiatrists know how addictive Benzodiazepines are, but Americans are very stressed out.

In my case, I busted a gasket in my twenties. I went from the most capable person in the room, to the trembling guy who could barely leave his room. I can honestly say it ruined my life.

I was given a benzo with a long half life. It worked a bit, but I never fully recovered. I think we all know the drug. 40 hour half life.

I tried all kinds of medications over the years, and nothing worked except benzodiazepines , and alcohol. Yes--alcohol hits so many different parts of the brain, but is horrid on the body. I really tried to avoid alcohol, but some days the anxiety susptoms we just unbearable.

I've been on the long half life benzodiazepine for decades. I take the same dose low dose, and try not to drink.

I've never even asked my doctor, but he knows my low dose isn't going to cause physical problems. They are better than alcohol, if you're self-medicating. I belive his thinking is I need the drug. I've been on it forever. Why put him through a misserable detox, at this stage of the game?

There are a few big studies done on patients whom were on opiates, and benzodiazepines for long periods of time. They didn't necessarily need to increase their dosages. I believe the studies were done on rest home geriatric patients.

I feel at my age, what's the point of a long withdrawal. It's easy to say for myself because my doctor has reasonable rates. He is getting close to retirement, and that has me very worried. The last thing I want is a long misserable detox.

I don't like the way this drug problem is playing out. I don't like blaming doctors. All their patients are very different.

My wish is we let, especially Psychiatrists, make these hard calls concerning what's best for their patients. That's what they went to school for.

I don't know why we are even discussing it here.

I don't want to live in a world where doctors send their patients home a mess because they are afaird of being accused of some sinister reason for keeping a patient on a addictive drug.

In all reality, so many doctors just don't prescribe certain drugs. Probally, one of the main reasons why former patients go to the streets, or liquor stores.

(I would further like to see a governmental bill that would allow patients, whom have been on addictive drugs for years, the ability to authorize their own scripts. The Same dose, and any increase would require a doctor's visit. At this point my office visits are pointless. There is a bill that is in congress now I believe, but it's for drugs that aren't addictive. I doubt the AMA will ever let it pass though.)

Surely it's not that dramatic?

I'd imagine at the least it would be in maintenance mode for years, although in principal I'm inclined to otherwise believe this. I don't think anyone was really convinced by the early talk of co-existence.

Plume, I think, is an ActivityPub-based blog engine. I haven't looked at it yet, though.

https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume

I'm aware that Micro.blog (mentioned elsewhere) is looking at ActivityPub support of some kind soon. I think the IndieWeb movement and the federated blogging/don't-call-it-tweeting movement are close enough that they should be working toward interoperability.
Here's the deal with replacing Twitter: first realise it is (under a sane interpretation) a really badly designed product, because it doesn't know what it is. Let's say that roughly it comprises:

1. A way to hear about news from people or organisations you like (Elon, Yankees, WTO, Lady Gaga, whatever)

2. A way to microblog and share with your friends or (more usefully) with colleagues or interest communities.

3. A discussion medium where there is no hierarchy of competence, and everyone's opinion is given the same weight.

(1) and (2) are generally positive and useful things. In (2) you might get a flamewar in a gardening community or whatever, so you need moderators to prevent outbursts over how best to deal with greenfly, but generally these kinda things are pretty peaceful. See HN.

It is not at all clear that (3) is a good idea at all. Most people know nothing about most topics, so giving equal weight to their voice is a bad idea.

The reasons that (3) has come about, persisted, become central to Twitter, is that it's a very good way to engage people. Enragement is engagement. It sells advertising, but it doesn't do much for humanity or its user base.

I'd say using Twitter for (1), leaving (2) to better platforms, and realising we don't need (3) is a sensible solution. The only reason we don't have that is Jack knows full well that (3) makes money, and to hell with the terrible problems that causes.

tl;dr - before looking for alternatives, ask yourself if you need anything at all.
Well, the money has to come from somewhere. In any case, someone has to be willing to take the other side of your bet, whether it is other participants or the people running the market/betting thing.

I'm not sure what alternative you are considering to not have that problem, or what it would look like for something to not have that problem.
A lot of people seem to be willing to kowtow to the current dogma of the medical / psychiatric community with regards to mental illnesses (depression, ADHD, etc.) Once you categorize these things as objective "chemical imbalances / medical issues", the next logical step is to treat these with "medicine", like Prozac or other SSRIs, or amphetamines in the case of ADD.

Many people don't seem to have the same respect for self medication, however. I personally think trying alternative treatment options, be it drug based or experience based, is always a better option than slavishly following your doctor who himself is often slavishly following some established medical dogma du jour or his own financial incentives. That is not to say that standard medication is not effective in some or many cases, moreso that there are very many people who think they "need their medicine" because a doctor or psychiatrist has diagnosed them with something that is at best an educated guess (with high error margin) along a multidimensional space of possible psychological profiles that we don't fully understand. My point is that by breaking down psychological issues into various abstract "disorders", it makes questioning a Prozac users choices tantamount to begrudging a diabetic for taking his insulin.
Tesla also sued top-gear for their review of the original tesla roadster. And, that was pretty questionable. Top Gear gave a very positive review for the roaster for 1/2 the show. They also said the break were broken. Just because the cause was a broken fuse, doesn't mean the breaks didn't work.

I get the feeling Tesla sues reviewers pretty liberally.
I'd sell a plastics tax as revenue neutral, i.e. coupling it with a tax reduction on something else.
Hah. I knew there was going to be something like the paper below and this article reminded me to have a rummage around the web for it:

In a way it feels as though most tech mods are biased towards sustainable energy already. It's common for end game power to be impossibly efficient solar, or nuclear type power sources which produce conveniently not so dangerous waste. In the really ludicrous modpacks the end game is usually infinite everything in some form.

It is after all a game, if Thaumcraft's insanity mechanic drove your character to suicide or the Space mods actually left you adrift in empty space forever if you make the mistake of jumping off a space station that would not be fun.
I've seen plenty of doctors who prescribed benzos and not a single one had any idea how to taper off their patients properly. Nor was a single one interested in it. This is a money-making machine for them and they have no interest, regardless of what's best for the patient. On the other hand, I've gone to doctors who wanted to stop these cold-turkey risking seizures and death. Those doctors clearly never heard of the hippocratic oath. I have never seen a doctor willing to work with a patient to taper off properly. Until we get to that point, talking about reducing prescriptions is akin to signing possible death sentences for patients or pushing them to the black market / pill mills. My own withdrawal took a few months and I did it on my own. It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't as horrible as some others' experiences. Basically, the medical establishment says 'fuck you' by putting you on these meds long-term, and another 'fuck you and die,' by not knowing how to taper you off properly or even knowing when it is appropriate. We have a long, long way before solving this problem, and reducing prescriptions by itself is an incredibly stupid and cruel way to go about this. I can see why it's being done this way. Once you become dependent on something like benzos, most doctors and most of society does not think your life is worth living and they try their hardest to make it so.

I went back after nearly 2 years clean. I don't recommend it. Once again I'm lacking in mental energy. I'm all for MJ if you need it, but I think a lot of us are fooling ourselves into thinking it's benign. Sure, it's better than alcohol, but I don't think that's a useful benchmark.

Sobriety can be boring, but until someone invents a better drug I think it's my only option until I retire.
All the relevant ports are on the back instead of split between the left and the right. Plus, they're purchased bare bones so you can add in however much storage and RAM you want which is an increasingly hard to find option on a laptop.

They also have somewhat better cooling than laptops because they're so thick, and you can buy silent passive cooling cases for them.
The sentence after the one you quoted referenced the species that already exist.

> The ones that do, mostly bacertium and fungi, were pre-disposed to doing so, and didn't suddenly X-men their way into consuming plastic.

Not to be a smartass, but I don't understand why people read a post to the first sentence that upsets them then instantly reply without reading the rest.
What handshake agreement are you referring to? There's usually no agreements with them at all. A lot of the companies in that list are notoriously litigious. If this was such a risk, why is nobody getting C&D'd? I helped manage one of the larger software security firms in the country, staffed with people using their bench time to do independent assessments of random things that interested them. I can count on zero fingers the number of people who were ever threatened with a suit. What's the evidence that this is a real problem? To me, the evidence loudly suggests that it is not.

There are people who have legit legal issues with the research that they're doing. They fall generally into two buckets:

* The rapidly shrinking bucket of people doing content protection security research for vendors that don't want copy protection stuff broken (and related stuff, like jailbreaking consoles).

* People who are testing other people's computers, not their own.

Most of the legal drama you see in our field comes from that second group. I fully agree: it is legally dangerous to test software running on a stranger's computer without authorization. But most important vuln research doesn't set off that particular tripwire.
Show HN: A higher order reducer for backup/restore Redux state
> Question for OpenAI: Is it more accurate to think of the bots as 5 separate minds, or a single mind controlling 5 heroes?

They released their architecture: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/9533g8/n_o...

In the above thread, a reddit user noted that 512 out of the 2048 unit input into the LSTM of each bot is shared (max pooled across players).

This means they are telepathically linked and never need to worry about communicating, disagreeing, etc. They know how the others are interpreting their local inputs because it's explicitly shared. So it's not really fair to call it 5 separate minds.

You can't really call it a single mind either because if you assume the LSTM is the "mind" (since it's the only place that has memory of previous state), that state isn't read by any other bots.

This all sounds like normal r&d and market forces. New stuff is low volume and premium prices. Once it becomes more common and more production lines are switched, the prices fall and the features get included into other models. This applies to virtually every product.

Or did you want to highlight something else I missed?

I havent yet seen other studies comparing BPA with carb ingestion, but I hope they are done. Its important to root out the effect since BPA lines every single soda-pop can.

Aside from that though, there are many other mouse studies.

I know you've asked for books and courses but if you are serious then get practical and self-medicate! You should be able to cobble together some reasonably priced gear. It does not need to be expensive and the more the better. Here are a few ideas:

Look out for old Cisco, HPE, Dell or Juniper switches - 10/100Mb ones work fine for learning with. Ideally managed ones with a command line but webby interface ("smart switches") will get you started. If buying new then a Netgear GS108T is a good low price smart switch. There is a lot of documentation for all of these available on the web.

Raspberry Pis are pretty cheap and are full Linux boxes with the full firewall/router etc available. The current models have both wifi and wired connections, so you can play with routing. They are powerful enough to run a GUI and a browser which is pretty nifty for £30. If you are not familiar with Linux then these are a good place to start - loads of resources available. Old laptops tend to have both wifi and wired as well and come with a UPS and screen built in, not to mention gobs of RAM and a hard disc! A lightweight Linux distro can make a decent router or a test server or whatever.

Consider virtualisation. A decently powerful PC can run a whole lot of mini virtual routers, switches, servers and clients. However, you will need to get to grips with quite a few concepts here as well as networking. Perhaps save it for phase 2.

On the internet routers front, investigate the likes of pfSense and open router firmware like Tomato, DD-WRT etc (for my money, pfSense is the man every time).

Get yourself signed up for several sub reddits eg r/networking r/sysadmin r/HomeNetworking r/pfsense. Read them and lurk. The Gentoo and Arch Linux forums are worth watching as are the pfsense ones.

On the security front, why not grab a copy of Kali Linux - I use it in the day job quite a lot. It can look a bit bewildering at first but there is a lot in there all in one place, already installed. Don't be put off by the silly names for some of the software. For a quick dive in and instant results, on an OS you may be more familiar with, get hold of nmap/zenmap and Wireshark and learn how to use them. Lots of docs for them on the web. Make sure that you search for them carefully and only download from the correct site. As you can imagine there are quite a few ahem unauthorised versions around. Both nmap and wireshark have .org domains and are open source and hence free.

Hopefully someone will get you on track with a good book or two and hopefully you'll do the decent thing and fill your home with networking hardware.

One last note: networking doesn't happen alone or in isolation - a fact sometimes lost in many orgs with teams for separate functions - "nets", "servers", "apps" and all that stuff. You can't know everything but don't stop at artificial boundaries.
Yes, let's go to tumblr because text-wrapping is awesome.

Seriously, tumblr has a problem with basic text layout. Responses get indented, heavily on an already narrow column. And next thing you know, any text is basically wrapped to single characters on the right side of the page.

Edit: It's so bad, trying to intentionally reproduce it is more trouble than it is worth.
Low Power Mode on the Mac
Yes, well I tried to extrapolate from the demos we see now, using AI denoising. It certainly does look promising, and even if there are artifacts e.g. at rapid movement, one could easily imagine just dropping to a simpler rasterizer when moving rapidly (to avoid dragging) and then refine.
This looks like a great product! Congrats on your success so far
Good point, but what about the comparison with the old 10-series Titan Xp (released at $1200)? The 20-series improved peak GFLOPS perf by a meager 10%. I still would have expected more from upgrading from 16nm to 12nm. I guess floating point perf wasn't a priority for Nvidia in this microarchitecture refresh...
I think you would have to reduce the drop rate of saplings as well so it averages 1 per 10 trees or something or you could just go out for 20 mins and grind saplings from leaves fairly easily. So it might take a few in game days to grow but you could grow hundreds of trees fairly easily.
Re: microfibers making it into water systems:

This is a con to synthetic fibers that I hadn't been considering before. Recently I learned that cotton has a pretty high environmental footprint (land use, highest pesticide use of any crop, high water consumption) [1], and thus started moving some of my clothing purchases toward polyester-blends (trades the cons of cotton for petrochemical and energy use).

Does anyone have a good grasp on the total environmental impact of these options, considering the entire chain (mining/extraction/cultivation -> disposal/environmental release)?

yeah I've pretty much given up on the justice system.

if you have money regardless of how you obtained it, the law always favor those with capital for the most part. Unless you try to fight back against government's monopoly on violence....drug traffiking being a major competition, it makes sense why harsh sentences are handed out for drug dealers while white collar criminals that inflict damage to millions of people all over the world gets a slap on the wrist.
Didn't they change that quite a while back?
Ugh, I'm very sorry to have wasted your time! I mostly work on Linux, but I tried it out on OS X and got the same results as you.

It looks to me like OS X will only search for sections named 1-9 (and maybe "n" too). The MANSECT variable doesn't override this behavior. (I guess it just changes the priority then?)

But you can have a custom suffix after a number. So if you have ~/man/man7/postgres.7pj (note just a 7 for the folder, but 7pj for the file extension), you can open that file by saying `man 7pj postgres`. This is how other programs with a lot of man pages work, e.g. `man 3perl open`. It's not as nice to type a 7 too, but it's the best I can find that works. So I guess on OS X you'd still set MANPATH but can leave MANSECT alone. (You could also probably usurp section 9 or something, and omit your initials entirely.)

Or maybe you could compile a better `man` and put it in ~/bin. :-/

. . . In fact, I find that if I have ~/man/man7/postgres.7pj, I can even type `man xpj postgres` to get my page. Maybe OS X man is just buggy?
