Smoking weed for me, at least in my early years (16-18, I'm 29 now) yielded a ton of anxiety. At the time I didn't know, but I would get full-blown anxiety attacks when I'd smoke weed.

I've since heard that it depends on the strain, sativa vs indica.
Indica == 'in da couch'; anxiety attacks.
Sativa is supposed to be a more mellow high.

While I don't smoke often now, I do on occasion. I've found that I tend to get anxiety in the beginning, but I've learned to sort of brush it off/ignore it and enjoy my trip.

Food for thought.
I'm not talking about the 'reached perfection' case. In ten years the language, standards and it's patterns, underlying libraries, hardware, performance, all change. There is also no value in having a working, stable implementation of say, md5 when the entire world has moved on.

Often I'll just not find the library I want since nobody using that tech is actually writing Perl. For example, complete lack of a working GraphQL package until late 2017.

CPAN search in particular is unbelievably bad. The first result for 'Postgres' is a package last updated in 1998 (not joking), try to find a usable driver here: https://metacpan.org/search?q=postgres. Even the widely used DBI package has last seen an update almost a year ago.
I think tactical nihilism fits this well: https://pics.me.me/the-legendary-blade-of-tactical-nihilism-...
Yep, agreed on that. Over time I have smoked less and less. Like i said I don't think I'll ever 'quit' but I imagine the time in between seshes will grow longer. All in all cannabis has been very net positive for me
Yes, but not any home wherever they want to live by themselves and not any medicine or medical treatment available.

Some things are scarce resources and should be priced accordingly.
If it is cost-prohibitive then then maybe we should adjust the economic model, not abandon the measurement.
Forgive me if this has already been answered, but what's your projected timeline on an app release?

Wonderful UI, got setup with zero issues. Thanks for sharing!
I talked to many independent coffee shop workers, and they used to get minimum wage. While Starbucks offered better wages, access to health insurance at a certain level, and now even tuition assistance. Starbucks probably had more unpredictable scheduling, not sure if they have changed that bit.
Or...report it to the police? I’d gladly risk my job to do the right thing in that instance.
You are supremely lost. If you carry the analogy, you're saying the billboards destroying my view through Colorado are somehow paying for my roads. Well, actually taxes pay for my roads. And no, viewing ad's on Brave does not somehow make my internet better or faster. It just clutters the experience.

The only thing that will opt into this crap are the selenium bots I write to farm some Brave cash or whatever you're calling it, until I realize that the AWS fees are more than the Brave cash I'm getting and shut them off for good.
It's obviously not a configuration suitable for everybody, but I read epubs in a similar manner with Emacs, using the read-aloud and nov packages. It highlights each sentence as it's read, using the system TTS (MacOS's `say` in my case.)

(use-package read-aloud :ensure t)
(setq read-aloud-engine "say")
(use-package nov :ensure t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.epub\\'" . nov-mode))

(bind-key* "M-SPC" 'read-aloud-buf)

This is the ruling that says that "genuine" Apple parts that have had parts replaced with inferior replacements need to scrub the Apple logo off of them or risk infringing on copyright.

Not the op, but I could read my wrist watch underwater. Things get fuzzy at long range, but not out of focus. More like looking through a light fog.
This could be one of the hardest and most gamechanging UX challenges since email. Because if they get the security model right and allow informed user consent for an app to access a folder it shares with others... then it's a quick step towards POSIX and mmap APIs for WebAssembly. Then the web literally has parity with operating systems.
It's also more consistent with "no longer", which implies a progressive action. An alternative is "will not support", which is no longer indicating (or does not indicate) that it had been supporting epub for a while.

That said, "will no longer support" is more succinct and clear enough.
It absolutely doesn't. It does if you mandate the only transport option to be low density, but pretty much every European city begs to differ
Hmmm. I also work in AI, in fact professionally in information retrieval and NLP. I disagree strongly with what you say. Basic topic summarization and keyword / named entity extraction on unstructured sources of text works reasonably well. It’s easy to modify BERT and GPT on smaller problems, language classification is borderline totally solved by extremely easy to train neural network models.

I still agree that automatic essay grading is beyond the reach of SOTA NLP models today, but youmake it sound like virtually nothing can be done in a production-grade manner that solves real world unconstrained NLP problems. This is manifestly false.
They should be mandatory reporters at least in the USA.
These results are, for better or for worse, almost right in line with the stereotypes.

I smoked occasionally when I was younger, but many of those friends of mine I’d classify as stoners are noticeably unmotivated and have short attention spans.
Not PhoneGap. Been a while since I investigated it and don't have more time to waste on it. shrug

It is fairly well documented that demand for road travel DOES work this way though and is different than demand for health care, waste disposal, and the internet. [0] There is strong evidence that building additional roadway capacity does not decrease travel time in the long run. Whether or not increasing the throughput of the roads is the best way of enabling mobility or the best way to design a city is a judgment call, but it is fairly clear that simply adding roadway capacity does not solve congestion.

Would be interested in seeing any evidence to the contrary if it exists.

And for a decent introduction to critical thinking in general, I can highly recommend Carl Sagan's book, "The Demon-Haunted World".

Among many other good things in this book, there is a chapter called “The Fine Art of Baloney Detection,” which is the best primer in detecting bad thinking I've seen.
"It's very unnatural to say "I educated you, and now I hope to collect 99% of your economic bonus, but you will still be 1% better off so it's a good deal for you""

This seems to be a common attitude though, on the scale of one (developed) nation to another (developing) nation. That is, I'm thinking of the anger over "intellectual property theft".
I tested a lot of similar project in the past 2 years: Buxfer, GNUCash, YNAB 4 & 5, Mint, and Banktivity (currently using) and I'm willing to pay as high as $70 per year for a product that fulfills my needs.

I liked your project, the interface is clean, responsive and fast. If I may, I would like to give you my list of the most useful features :

- Self-hosted: Although, I used online apps in the past, this is now an _absolute_ requirement. I'm never, ever, going back to linking my bank accounts to a SAS app. I would be, of-course, happy to pay a premium for this (and for the Kubernetes templates).

- Transaction imports: OFX, QIF, CSV, XLSX...

- Regex category matching: For automatically matching transactions to the correct category

- Subset selection on reports: Ignoring specific accounts, categories or tagged operations from specific reports reports

- Multi-currency: I tried apps where the only currency available was USD, they did not stick around

- Exports: transactions and reports

- Rewrites: Rewriting transaction labels automatically (following user-defined rules)

- Sanity checks: Travel expenses + Reimbursements must equal zero. If not, Amex messed up again and I should know about it

Hope this helps!
Of course they use the example of focusing on climate change studies that are opposed to consensus, but what about when consensus is actually wrong? For example, high fat diet advocates were accused of cherry picking many years ago, but now we're swimming in cherries and there is no real consensus on high fat diets or the cholesterol theory of heart disease, we're in a transitional period. I think soon there will be a consensus that the prior consensus was morbidly incorrect. So was that really cherry picking?
I get more than five per blade, but it is hard to keep track, since I shave once a week or so. Probably depends a lot on hair type and tolerance for dull blades.

Another point for DE, they don't clog on a week's stubble, I had to whack the cartridge I used before on every move. I actually broke the handle eventually.
It's completely possible I'm not fully up on recent progress, especially since a bunch of stuff seems to have moved in the past 6 months. But I haven't seen any general models that can solve open-domain problems, without specifically retraining on each domain. Do you have any pointers? E.g. a single pretrained BERT model that can reliably extract topics from: tweets, paragraphs from 19th-century novels, mathematics journal articles, and Wikipedia articles? All the systems with very low error rates that I know of target one specific domain. The last time I looked into sentiment analysis (a year or so ago), it wasn't even that great on many individual domains, e.g. it would get tripped up by sentences from novels that used "negative" keywords in a humorous or ironic way.
Minor nit from paper: The range for Moments is listed as bounded due to overflow risk using floats.

This may be true for the provided implementation, but it's not inherent to the algorithm. The calcuation of the higher order moments would normally done entirely in the log domain where there's little risk of overflow.
No, it would be less correct. Adverbs in future continuous (and other composite tenses) go after the first verb.
I think that one of the reason's we're behind on this is that major players aren't putting R&D into usable clusters of user managed permissions and tools for both power users and average users to manage and introspect them is precisely because they've found a way to both shirk the responsibility and exploit their users with an App Store.

As a result, all users are imperiled.
This is a nice thought, but based on my experience helping non-technical people with malware and related issues, it's rare that they learn from those experiences, and instead delegate to the nearest techy person to help them fix it. So if people are going to act that way in either case, I would selfishly rather the software just prevent them from doing stupid things in the first place, before I get that call for help.
So will humans. With AI, the model and training data are auditable and, if necessary, modifiable. You can't audit a person's life history and you can only really modify a grader by replacing them, and it's much less socially damaging to retrain a model than to fire an employee.

AI certainly has a lot of potential for bias, but claims that AI bias is somehow worse than good old human bias always seem shoddily supported (Note I'm not claiming it's untrue. Just that it's never been shown to my satisfaction, which is not surprising given how quickly AI is changing. It may well be true.)
> Drugs should be guilty until proven innocent.

For a meme war maybe, but for those of us who decide based on facts, their precise safety is unknown until proven otherwise.

> History has shown that there are very few "safe" recreational drugs.

What history is this, and for what specific definition of the word "safe"?

> This attitude is one of the reasons it was so hard for public opinion to change on tobacco usage.

Perhaps, but pardon me if that doesn't motivate me to hop on board the anti-science train.
At the time, the consensus opinion of Einstien's special relativity theory was that it was wrong. The Nobel committee gave him the prize for Brownian Motion, not relativity.

Galileo also went against the "consensus opinion" when he supported Copernicus’s heliocentric theory.

In a forum of CS people I'm surprised this is one of the top opinions. Our field is full of super surprising results like this -- that you don't have to actually understand the text at beyond basic grammar structures to reasonably accurately predict the score a human would give it.

Like this kind of thing should be cool, not insane. I mean wasn't it cool in your AI class when you learned that DFS could play Mario if you structured the search space right?
The other problem is, even if the car comes with a good screen experience the manufacturer probably won't update it. (Tesla is good about this but a lot aren't.)

A friend of mine had an early-2000s Mercedes S-class. It was a very expensive car when it was new and still an amazing car in almost all respects -- except for the completely outdated, ugly DVD-based navigation system. He used a dashboard mount for his smartphone instead.

Even luxury cars made less than 10 years ago have screen software that feels very outdated compared to what a new Honda Civic comes with. The cars still drive great, but a significant part of the way you interact with them is obsolete.

I hope both Carplay and Android Auto continue to get regular updates and don't break backward compatibility, so a car that comes with one of those systems today won't feel obsolete in 5 years.
> It will also be interesting to see what happens when JITted extension languages like this start to meet in the middle with postgres' own nascent JITted query plan support as it grows...

Does Postgres actively measure the performance of stored procedures and use that for future cost estimates? I thought most of these timing stats are off by default.

It is pretty unfortunate that so many people used "PostgreSQL" and "Postgres" in their module name and DBD::Pg didn't, so it gets ranked lower for those queries. But ranking is a hard problem when there is no curation. The MetaCPAN team does want to improve this if possible.

As for DBI, it's definitely in the "stable" category and isn't trying to keep up with anything; the DBD::Pg driver though was last updated this month.
I still have a lot of corrections to make on the prototype to finish it. I want a f.... opensource tool..
It's not a scientific literacy problem. The charts are pretty objectively encoding data using the wrong format.

To explain it better, consider a line chart versus a bar chart. Quantitatively, they display exactly the same data, to the same precision and the same fidelity and visual distortion. However, the two charts do not share the same interpretation. A bar chart places the visual emphasis on the magnitude of each individual data point, and is meant to let you easily compare the value of a data point to any other data point. Meanwhile, a line chart places the visual emphasis on the relative values of successive data point, and is meant to let you estimate rates of change and analyze both where data points not-yet-measured might end up and if rate of change is accelerating or decelerating.

The data that these charts are trying to convey is fundamentally a collection of lines--the possible paths that the eye of the hurricane may take. However, the means of its conveyance is by use of enclosed polygons on the map. These enclosed polygons convey a visual emphasis that all of the contained points share a feature in common. When discussing hurricanes, and given the context of the map, it is very easy to misinterpret that feature to be "this point will see damaging hurricane effects" instead of "this point is between the extremities of the most likely paths of the eye of the hurricane." Note too, how the labels I give are cumbersome: terse descriptions may again mean a label meant to evoke the latter turns out to evoke the former. A more visually accurate representation of the data would be to represent the cone of uncertainty with a collection of lines indicating the mean path and the edges. Perhaps you could add more tracks for more intermediate points to illustrate if the uncertainty is a smooth distribution or if there are weirder clusters (kind of like a spatial violin plot). You could also use varying lightness on the lines to indicate which are the center and which are the edges.
Sure. I just remember a lot of (possibly a bit pie-in-the-sky) talk about how it could be a VM for Perl and Python both. That the more concrete initial plans and to some degree work was to allow good interop between major versions of Perl doesn't surprise me.

I'll defer to your memories if they contradict that though, I know you were involved to varying degrees for the first decade or so, and all I did was lurk.
Being "precisely correct" is tedious and pointless. I was like that in the past and it was a hard habit to kick, but I strongly encourage you to do the same.
All of them are either wrong or irrelevant because none of them factor in weed helping.
>So the takeaway is that if you’re one of the 80-95% of (typically black or female) people who the machine scored dramatically lower

It's quite funny how are some people manipulated to think that society and especially education is somehow biased against minorities or women when opposite is true[1][2].

Is it okay to mention... Tesla and how the experience of the software in a Tesla is what makes it such a magically wonderful experience as compared to any other car ever... among other things it upgrades automatically... so I can remember when my wife and I were driving in our 2014 tesla and we were like that’s weird there is no button for the passengers to adjust the volume... a week or two later after an update the button we were missing appeared... or being able to play fart games and now chess with my daughter while waiting to pick up my other daughter... delightful...
It gets improved over time with frequent updates though, including new map data. And I don't know how stale your knowledge is on this, so I wouldn't be so sure this is a problem. People tend to repeat very old information a lot about Tesla, when reality has already moved on. I haven't had a problem with blank tiles in the last year or so and I've been plenty of places with low/no coverage.

>Yeah, having a corner grocery might be good, but without mobility, the grocers are going to realize that you don't really have much choice about buying from them, and maybe start charging higher prices, or not stocking as much variety, or higher fewer people and having less service.

> People have a strong tendency not to trust forecasters

It's possible a lot of this bias is just outdated, up until very recently most hurricane (cyclone in my case) warnings came with a disclaimer like "cyclones or notoriously unpredictable and can make sudden, unexpected course changes" and for the most part this was true even in the short term. I don't think I've seen a wildly incorrect forecast in my area in 20 years but my mother still believes in this inherent unpredictability.

It seems like these accumulated errors in the educational system and filters needed to get through it would create a market inefficiency that could be exploited by a firm willing to ignore degrees, grades, and test scores and judge for themselves whether a candidate can do the job they're being hired for.
The AppleTV+ Strategy
For regular rental it's typically per hour the engine is running ("hobbs time", aka the airframe clock which activates off of oil pressure) and then there's often an overnight minimum if you want to take it somewhere else overnight, often 2-3 hours. That means if you want to fly out Friday and come back Sunday somewhere 2 hours away, you'd be billed 6 hours if there's a 3 hour minimum per night (though often minus the cost of fuel, so closer to 5 hours). Fuel is typically included in the hourly rate and is reimbursed if you have to buy any off field.

If you are part of a flying club (everyone buys in for a few grand and own x% of the aircraft) then the rates are typically said to be "dry" and are just the aircraft without fuel and typically billed with "tach time", or the engine clock rather than airframe time which measures rpm / max rpm * time which is in practice about 0.8 * "hobbs" making it slightly cheaper for some operations. Flying clubs vary a lot but are typically more lenient and often don't charge a minimum for overnights as long as you aren't abusing the heck out of it (ie. fly an hour away, spend a two weeks, fly an hour back).

To be fair, on all those forecast cone graphs, it says in bold font:

"The cone contains the probably path of the storm center but does not show the size of the storm. Hazardous conditions can occur outside of the code."

Fair enough. I started at age of 22 and I'm currently 32. Lots of friends started when they were teenagers and most of them have some issues that can be related to that phase.
