Psychedelics for this benefit should be done in environment without disturbances. That’s the reason I did them all alone and make sure the setting is perfect when I take others through a Changa trip. People who k-hole and do it them self build up or just take a big enough dose and often alone. For Changa even a mosquito can be a disturbance taking you out of the most perfect trip from a place you can never return.

My experience has been that the long tail, in aggregate, form a large segment of the immigrant graduate population. I already stated this in my previous comment as statement A.
I get annoyed by languages/frameworks that want to download code from mysterious web sites, bypassing the distribution's package manager. Ruby seems to do this, though I might be wrong: that I can't easily tell where the code is coming from is bad in itself. I prefer to know that there's at least a Debian maintainer between me and upstream.

I definitely would notice if Debian itself got taken over!

Perhaps the rule of thumb should be: if it's not properly in Debian, then don't use, it unless you have a very good reason for doing so.
I don't see how generating different code for the same mathematical expression can be a good thing.

The compiler should detect that the two expressions are strictly equivalent and generate whatever code it believes is the fastest.

Any idea why it is this way?
The DuckDuckGo is not an option if Google is the only good search engine for you. Bing.com is working in China but the 551,615,600 peoples given up.

Yahoo Search is powered by Bing. If you looking at Hong Kong & Taiwan data. It still a quite amount of people using them. It's enough for them for their daily lives. Why not in China?

Ask HN: What's up with Data Scientist in 3 months programs?
I have a bunch of friends especially female lately that are telling me that they will quit their job and become data scientists.

There is apparently a program that costs around $3k and takes you as a totally non-tech person working in sales or whatever unrelated subject and turns you into a data scientist.

I find this dangerous. First of all in no way if you have no idea about a p-value is you can become proficient in ML, using support vector machines or even writing code in R and Python.

What maybe they mean is you can become a marketing analyst and crunch some numbers but that's about in in 3-4 months.

What do you think?
Makes me vomit in my mouth when I read this sort of self-sufficient "I payed myself $60 / hour". You know what? An amount can only be quoted if you're PAYING someone else, it's only then when it stings.

This reminds me of type-driven programming as in Idris using the Type-Define-Refine workflow as described by Brady.

Chirp is also open sourced.

I think in general it's because the ham community sees software more like hardware and less like information - it's something that you work on and make a working thing, not something you share. So closed source, and often non-free, software is common.
> Eventually the US needs to come to terms with the massively destructive impact it has had on the world since WW2

Is this a joke? The world since WW2 is the most peaceful it has ever been in human history. The economic and military superiority of the US is one of the main reasons why this is so.

> It is all too easy to justify it as “our meddling” is for the greater good and “others meddling” is evil and undemocratic. There is no distinction.

There is an obvious distinction: different countries seek to promote different, and opposing, interests. The world Russia seeks to create is very different from the world the US seeks to create. Instead of thinking this is about the universal morality of “meddling”, you should ask yourself: in which world would you prefer to live in?

That aside, it’s obvious that the US foreign policy has very often been very poorly designed. But claiming that we should be as upset about US meddling as about Russian or Chinese meddling is quite absurd. People in the West are upset about Russian meddling precisely because it is Russian, and promotes Russian interests that go against Western values, not because they think “meddling is wrong” in some universal sense.

> Imagine if China instigated a coup in a Middle Eastern country. The outrage would be massive.

Indeed. Why would anybody living in the West would want Middle Eastern countries controlled by China? That this would be met by outrage is a testament to the positive influence the US has on the world. I would much rather see the ME countries turn into western-style democracies through US meddling, than into Chinese puppets through Chinese meddling. That the former can’t be achieved, and any attempt of achieving it will likely be counterproductive, is a separate matter.

But it seems to me like you are misconstructing the issue: you seem to think that when people oppose "Chinese meddling", they do it because they believe foreign meddling is universally immoral, and they are therefore hypocritical when they don't similarly condemn US meddling. But that’s simply not the case: People want meddling that promotes the kind of world they want to see, and don’t want meddling that goes against it. There is nothing hypocritical about this.

I think that quite often reducing refined carb intake is quite likely to result in a reduction in calorie intake - when our blood sugar rises and then falls, it triggers feelings of hunger, making snacking more likely. With unrefined carbs, the GI is typically much less, resulting in a slower rise of blood sugar to a lesser peak.

The Genesis of Library Genesis: The Birth of a Global Scholarly Shadow Library
Hi Hacker News!

A couple of days ago I received a Google Pixelbook and started trying out a few different Android apps and I've realized that quite a few of them aren't actually optimized for ChromeOS.

I started searching online and I wasn't able to find a compelling list that could help me and other chromebook owners to get decent Android apps.

For this reason I made a spreadsheet a couple of days ago and got people from reddit to help out and received about 70 contributions.

People on reddit started asking for something a bit more optimized than a spreadsheet and this is why I created Made For Chrome OS.

Let me know what you guys think.
Every time i read this kind of news i wonder : is there any real point to use erlang if you’re not taking advantage of its concurrency model ?

I'll suggest that we don't forget to how to ride a bike because a very important part of that skill is confidence and self-belief. It's similar to swimming. Does anybody ever forget how to swim?

If you don't believe you can ride a bike then you'll tend to wobble around slowly and cautiously and overcorrect by manual steering. If you don't believe you can swim then you'll try to constantly hold your face too high above the water and you will struggle because keeping your head high is not an ideal posture for buoyancy and balance.

If you believe you can ride a bike then you will set off confidently and move faster, which helps with balance and control.

These are examples of abilities in which it's easy to get stuck in a local optima which feels safer but is very inefficient, such as cycling with your feet ready to touch the ground or swimming with your head high above the water.

This theory, of course, doesn't mean the research in the article is wrong, but maybe it's just a part of the truth.

Honestly, I think JavaScript just has a lot of new developers who have never been exposed to concepts of software development such as dependency management, cultivating trust, and how (free and) open source works. I think the kind of developer you're describing is actually a minority.
I think it is already through libraries. At least for lambda in python you have libraries (Zappa for example) that allow you to write basic flask and Django apps and then deploy them to lambda. These apps can still be deployed the "old" way with no or minor modifications

While accurate, I don't think it's surprising (and therefore Tesla know) that people would assume

>Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Cars

As a massive headline and

> All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.

As the rest of what I see on one screen- means that it's self driving and safer than a human.

More from the page

> Full Self-Driving Capability

And only towards the end does it say

> Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available

Which even then isn't clear if it's self driving or not yet.

Frankly, if you sell me something you say is capable of full self driving, I expect it to be able to do that. I'm sure they're technically correct but I think they're wildly misleading.

EDIT: looks like most of these fonts are just being used for substitutions. I guess I’m neutral on that. Looks nice but I think I still prefer raw text version. Could be convinced either way.

That's not true. The concept of a natural wonder is ruining natural wonders.

In Australia, there is a big rock called Uluru. It is so popular it has its own airstrip, and about quarter of a million people come from all around the world to see it each year.

North of Uluru a fair way, there's a rock formation called the Bungle Bungles. About 25000 people come to see the national park it's in yearly. It is, according to my biases, better in almost every way than Uluru, and sees a tenth of the traffic.

I think that if nobody had a checklist of "natural wonders", they'd have to actually explore an area to find things that excited them, and while they'd have a similar short-list in each area, most people would have a different winner.

Condensing an area into a single natural wonder doesn't do the rest of the wonders justice, I feel.

> This wasn't the "you came by our office for lunch" NDA. This was the "you worked here for a while, and we trained you and taught you our techniques, which you later used in an invention" NDA.

Citation for the first assertion? Here's an excerpt from the Supreme Court's summary of the facts: One Dr. Mark Holodniy [0], who had recently joined a Stanford lab as a fellow, "signed a Visitor's Confidentiality Agreement (VCA). That agreement stated that Holodniy "will assign and do[es] hereby assign" to Cetus [predecessor to Roche] his "right, title and interest in each of the ideas, inventions and improvements" made "as a consequence of [his] access" to Cetus." [1] The trial court's opinion [2] states that Holodniy signed the VCA "[a]t the time he began working at Cetus"; it wouldn't be the least bit surprising if he did so without first getting the VCA reviewed by the Stanford legal department, because after all it's just an NDA, right?

Yes, the Stanford fellow worked at Cetus for nine months learning various techniques — which were published — and, months later, used (at least some of) the techniques when working with his Stanford colleagues.

The point is that a relatively-junior Stanford employee — as a result of having signed another organization's "Visitor Confidentiality Agreement" — in effect gave the other organization a get-out-of-jail-free card: The other organization was allowed to infringe Stanford's patent on a later invention by other Stanford investigators because the junior employee's own contribution to that invention qualified as a "consequence" of the employee's previous training at the other organization.

> It's not odd at all - once you understand the goal is to smear Chinese again.

Instead of viewing it as such, why not try to understand the core of the problem - that the Chinese don't respect IP laws. There is no (proper) framework to even sue a Chinese company should IP theft occur, let alone get legal support from the government if you're a foreign company fighting against the Chinese. The government will always side with the local companies.

We store the real-time content stream in a separate bulk storage unit (e.g., BigQuery) with a certain retention window, but the ETL'ed documents are always on ES. Given a plain event (i.e., not ETL'ed document) is not much of a value for search, I would not call the stream storage as the primary storage. It just assists us to re-build the ETL state in case of an emergency.

well, that's still almost as complicated as human intelligence. the only main part that's missing is language. and to be fair, although human natural languages are really tricky, you could easily build communicative, natural-like languages that computers can handle (similar in appearance to simplified english). in any case, if you are solving learning, which is needed for a semi-smart animal intelligence, you probably wouldn't be far away from solving language. we are very semi-smart ourselves

Because it's more work for the compiler to reduce the expression to something canonical (and it might even be impossible).

Also what good will it bring? What if the canonical expression triggers the slow path? Now you have no means to change it into the fast version.

Further, in the case of floating point operations, operation order matters for rounding. And with integer operations, the actual form used can be important for preventing overflow (of intermediate results).
> Ruby seems to do this,

Ruby uses https://rubygems.org as central repository for the gems (something like node's modules). You can however host your own having only inspected software. However you know where the code is comming from and you can download it and inspect before installing.

Idea (benefit) behind this is two-fold: easy way to have same library in multiple versions (you often need that) and having per-application isolated bundles of gems (again, it's easier to clean everything afterwards this way).

Could all this be handled via system package manager? Sure, however it would be much more work for the developers (since gems generally work even on windows and other platforms; what package manager would you use on windows without `gem` command?).

PS: I don't argue that there is room for improvement in some aspects, but the general idea isn't bad imo.
