PSA: keto appeared to cure my psychosis.

A while ago I experienced a traumatic event. Immediately I had sleep disruption and slowly I began to have textbook symptoms of psychosis. It was horrible and unpleasant. I went on keto and the symptoms went away. I stopped due to side effects and the symptoms came back. I went back on and the symptoms went away immediately. And on and off for a long time, with a perfect correlation between the two. The doctors who diagnosed me with psychosis don’t care that keto does this. I told them that I have figured out how to cure my symptoms and they just give me a blank look. They prescribed me an antipsychotic which I have never had to take although I have come close to needing it a few times. I tell them there are other people who have written about similar experiences and they don’t care. So I have to get the word out like this.

The psychosis is curbed within 24 hours of starting keto. Sleep disturbance persists for about five days. After five days it’s as though nothing had been wrong at all.

I get a really bad rash after a couple of days of keto. This is a well known side effect of keto although it is uncommon. I’ve tried various things, the only one that worked was applying drysol prior to keto, preventing the rash-prone areas from sweating. This gives a clue about the rash, which is important because no studies have been done and its cause has not been determined.
If I didn’t get this rash I would happily stay on keto forever.

There’s never been a study about ketosis and psychosis. There’s one being done in Finland right now, although the sample size leaves much to be desired. I’m in contact with the primary researcher and the paper might be released as early as one *year from now.
I tested this with my iMac 5k with 32GB of memory and Radeon m295x (4gb of vram). The apps start slower than what I noramlly see on Windows but I don't have a lot of the same apps, so it's hard to compare. I agree that it has to do with responsiveness but I don't know, sometime I prefer the responsiveness. I do see stutter in Safari once in a while, it is not always 60fps for me.

The screen is set to default for display.

My previous 2012 rMBP was the same difference between Windows 10 (Bootcamp) and macOS.

iOS on my iPad Pro (first gen) is very responsive and smooth at the same time. I wish I could get the same experience on my Macs.

"I thought Gentoo people despise plug-and-play."

If we did, would we have a package manager? Would Gentoo auto-identify hardware as it booted? Gentoo is mostly plug-and-play, like every other distro. We just have a lot of choice.

Thanks for the apl ebuild, by the way. That should make things easier, though it'd be much better if it was part of Gentoo's official portage repo.

Thank you also for the keyboard configuration. But how would I switch layouts from US to APL? Also, is there some graphic I can refer to to see which keys will output what APL symbols?
Or option 5, the update is still running and I can't turn off my computer.
I'd add Garbage Collection (Lisp was first I think) which transformed how we write programs, allowing more focus on solving the real problem, and less on memory management.

Also vms/containerization is worth a mention? The basis for the cloud.
The irony is that most of the youngsters so anxious to snatch power away from the old will one day become old, and learn the hard way just why the old act as they do.

you ask them for the LGPL package, they send it to you, you compile ?

The onus is on the person making the app that links against the LGPL library to provide you with the build instruction.

At worse they would give you their main static library and Qt LGPL source code and you just have to relink them and open Xcode to upload it to your iDevice ?

Here is for instance the source code for the telegram app for iOS which is under GPL : https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS

there is no difference with... basically every other open source project ? Open the .xcodeproj, build, run.
A hive mind is not something exclusive to bees or having a queen. As a matter of fact, a hive mind almost by definition cannot be concentrated to a single individual like a queen, so I'm not sure why you are so anchored to disputing that your are a bee?

If we define hive mind as a collective consciousness, then for sure one can argue that such a thing seems to be arising in human society. As a matter of fact in modern parlance it is fine to call a strongly unifying force, set of norms, school of thought or strong social bonds a hive mind. The hive mind can still be constructed of individuals capable of agency and independent action. It does not replace the minds of it's constituents, rather it can be thought of as an emergent property of many individual agents forming a deeply connected collective.

Russia exerts actual control over the region. If you travel to Crimea, the last border you cross will be manned by Russian soldiers. They control it in reality, no matter who it should belong to. That's what de facto means.

De jure is what you're arguing.
I'm reasonably sure that given access to the doorbells processor, you could, in fact, guide a spaceship to the moon.

I mean, the killer advantage that the Apollo computer had in getting to the moon was the giant rocket atop which it sat, but if you're talking functionally (as in, correct outputs for a given set of inputs), I've no doubt that pretty much any computing device could easily run the necessary software.
I disagree with this article. Of course your messaging is going to be different when selling a pickup truck and a SUV. If anything I see commonalities between Model X and Cybertruck- both are unashamed with their design, even though it might be impractical to some, or ugly.

This reminds me of English class in high school where we were made to read into themes and "literary devices." A lot of times the themes were substantial, and the authors intended them to mean something and convey a message to the reader. But many times they didn't- we were tasked with finding a theme so we would look for anything that resembled narrative so we could finish our essay.

This guy is looking too hard.
Look at a graph of inflation in rent prices and cost of living compared to the official poverty line over the years. Basically the government is keeping the poverty line number low even as the cost of living skyrockets.

The result is that that there are a lot of people who are officially in the government's eyes "above the poverty line" but who in reality can barely pay rent and afford groceries.
It all hinges on your definition of "solved".

"Solved" in the AI/game theory has a very strict definition. It indicates that you have formally proven that one of the players can guarantee an outcome from the very beginning of the game.

The less-strict definition being thrown around here in the comments is more like "This AI can always beat this human because it is much stronger."
I think the first commenter on that article said it best:

"The Cybertruck is designed with the sole purpose of brutally driving down the cost of production. PERIOD.

...

They aren’t building dystopia. That’s your neo-cortex story telling. They are driving down costs to get the price of what would be a $65,000 truck to a $45,000 truck so they can remove excuses of why people shouldn’t buy one."
Yes, I can see how mandatory adulation of Margaret Atwood can drive anyone crazy. I'm sorry this has caused you so much distress.
I think that’s the authors point. Not admonishing the design but that this is what our culture wants
It's a squarespace site, and this particular behavior is pretty universal to squarespace sites, near as I can tell.

Since it's due to the squarespace, I wouldn't really characterize this as "third-party" javascript per se, but I agree it's annoying the page needs javascript to even render. Boo on squarespace.

If you don't want to enable all third-party scripts, try uMatrix (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/umatrix/ogfcmafjal...). It has very fine-grained control over what assets you allow from where (it's why I knew offhand this was squarespace). A warning though: it's got a bit of a learning curve, and depending on how restrictive you want things, you will probably end up spending a fair amount of time un-breaking the internet.

Needing third-party scripts isn't necessarily evil in my mind though--aside from squarespace-like cases where a page loads scripts from the underlying platform (squarespace, or custom domains on top of medium), the other common case I see is loading scripts straight from cdnjs or similar. Is it really evil or insecure to load jquery from cdnjs?
My partner and I had built broadbandnow.com and were looking for a new interesting problem to solve to get us fire up again about fun tech problems. This just scratched the itch. The team was running day to day of the other business while we worked on the HFT bot.

Shortly after we realized we either should exit or hire an exec team to run the business. After a few months of executive search we found an offer we liked and took it.

These days I’m interested in using some heuristics based on public data to help consumers make informed decisions about nursing homes and in home health care. Still early on this project but lots of data and not many people looking to do good in that market. Seems like a great place I can add value.
Then the energy spent creating the machine is always higher
I believe it's just a classification difference. In some cultures a soup is soup when it's liquid. A gravy-style dish can exist, no problem, but will not be recognized as soup then.
That would be fascinating if it could. IIRC there is an urban legend that the stainless steel St. Louis Gateway Arch is almost invisible to radar. That being said DeLorean DMC-12s are not invisible to radar speed detectors so I would doubt the Cybertruck is.

Have you checked on Health Sherpa? I pretended to be a San Jose, California resident with a spouse and a 2 year old kid, making $100,000/year, and it showed me bronze plans starting at ~$700/month.

Author here. Honestly, I don't have a good answer. I spread my capital across enough exchanges so that if one runs away with it gets hacked it doesn't ruin me. It's just a risk I'm taking.

I'm also not trading much capital. Because the system is more on the HFT side, the actively traded capital isn't that high, and I don't care about losing it. Any profit I try to get out of the exchanges regularly. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving large sums on those exchanges.
I sympathize.

It used to be that you might be able to believe that there is some kind of art behind go, some sort of abstract beauty to it, and that the pursuit of this beauty is the path to being good at go ...

But the defeat of the tactics born from this mindset by MCTS at least for now lay bare the fact that the path to being good at go is actually to probabilistically sample the phase space of the game and perform impossibly mindless statistics on the game outcome an enormous number of times ...

To top it off — there is almost nothing “about go” to learn from watching alpha go play ... I imagine that attempting to analyze alpha go’s victories would produce an unending sequence of the feeling of never gaining any new insight “into go”.

The analysis of go is now about optimizing algorithms — which _is_ interesting — but I don’t think it’s interesting for the same reasons that someone might’ve been passionate about go in the past ...
No.

The author writes about his background at the end: "I am a Ph.D. astrophysicist, author, and science communicator, who professes physics and astronomy at various colleges. I have won numerous awards for science writing since 2008 for my blog, Starts With A Bang, including the award for best science blog by the Institute of Physics. My two books, Treknology: The Science of Star Trek from Tricorders to Warp Drive, Beyond the Galaxy: How humanity looked beyond our Milky Way and discovered the entire Universe, are available for purchase at Amazon."

And his four points are:

"1.) De-orbit the current batch of Starlink satellites, and place a moratorium on the launch of new ones until the proper modifications have been made."

"2.) Either redesign or coat the satellites to significantly reduce their reflectivity."

"3.) Provide real-time trajectory plans, predictions, and adjustment information for each satellite to observatories worldwide."

"4.) Provide funding to assist astronomers in the development of hardware and software-driven solutions to subtracting out as much of the satellite pollution as possible."

The elaborations of the current problems and the solutions are in the article.

The Gnu APL interpreter is free, installs easily and the author is not only very responsive on the bug-apl mailing list but very knowledgeable about APL. Recommend you check out this interpreter.
Because throwaway accounts are usually made by people who want to share something personal and don't want it tied to their public/internet/work persona. So it made me think you work for a FAANG where everyone has to pretend they love React/Angular/etc, and you didn't want to catch any flak for it.
Not sure about "preventing", but a great solution to this problem would be a sort of recommendation system that would show each user articles that other users "like" them generally wanted to see. We don't all like the same music, and there's little reason to think we all want to read (or flag) the same articles, either.
Thank you very much :) I'd love to write more, I just need to figure out a good next topic.
Sorry but adding a new index on a table with 6 billion rows is stupid. If you did this in production, it would take that table offline for possibly days. And if it somehow failed, you would be SOL.

You create a copy of the table with an updated set of indexes and copy the data over into the new table. I think Percona even has a utility that will copy all the next data over via stored procedure that is getting written to the table.

I love this book, and it's great to see it on HN. Anyone with an interest in this subject would do well to read this book, which is at the same time hilarious, fascinating, and disturbing.
It didn't sound like that's what you were pointing out, at all.

"I believe it's important to realize that the "magic" is not in the mushroom."

"To sum up, the cure is not in the pill, it's in the set and setting. The pill just gives you an excuse."

This makes it sound like the mushroom is little more than a placebo.

> is too potent and can go wrong.

Potent, or too potent?

Can go wrong? Sure, so should be used with caution, like anything else powerful.

> The kinds of insights and healing you get from e.g. Core Transformation Process or Feldenkrais Method may take longer but they're much safer and unlikely to have negative side-effects.

Are the insights and healing similar?

Is the amount of effort similar?

Is the likelihood of receiving insights similar?

Is there trustworthy evidence suggesting high risk (likelihood and magnitude) of risk with psilocybin, and trustworthy evidence that there is lesser risk with <x>?

I feel fairly certain the answer to most of these questions is something like: "We don't know, for sure, because there is very little evidence outside of anecdotal stories."
I am talking about "old" hardware that is no longer supported on Windows. The Linux kernel does not intentionally remove support for working hardware. Do you think you could get a Geforce 2 working on Windows 10? You could get it working on the latest version of Linux thanks to open source drivers (albeit reverse engineered).
I saw a documentary where the border in Georgia was slowly creeping overnight. Like, they literally move the fence up when it's dark. So, possibly still on-going.

> Some realities cannot be reduced nor should they be reduced to analogies like "hive". Our social reality is irreductible being the most complex one known.

I don't understand how that has any bearing on whether human society can form hive minds or hive mind like entities.

> Hive mind as an emergent property still implies a common thing for which one lives. Or a queen. A peer that is one's reason to live.

No that is absolutely not what a hive mind is. A hive mind is a collective consciousness. That's it. It says nothing about the objectives or agency of it's parts.

> We are all different and it is not because a person one talks with does not express a different opinion does it mean he thinks the same.

You seem to be laboring under the apprehension that a hive mind supplants the consciousness of it's parts. That may be the case for certain hive minds, but it is not a necessary feature. A hive mind can just be an emergent property of individual minds that are strongly connected but still retain agency.
Alertness/focus isn't necessarily a good measure either, as it's heavily influenced by genetics, hormones and diet which the teacher doesn't control.

Whoa. That is one of the most dramatic charts I've ever seen.

Anyway, from the linked paper:

"Conceptually, the LIUR is the measure of labor input adopted in balanced-growth theory and inspired by evidence suggesting that, in many economies, key macro-economic variables have grown at a common rate for long periods. One of the most intriguing features of that evidence is that the resulting secular rising trend in the average real wage has typically failed to induce any noticeable trend in the share of available time that the working-age population devotes to work.

"The share of available time devoted to work is the LIUR, calculated as the total number of hours that the working-age population (16 years of age and older) was actually at work relative to discretion-ary hours—100 hours a week on average per working-age individual—that that population could have devoted to work.3 The numerator—hours at work—excludes hours paid while on vacation or on vari-ous leaves that do not contribute any labor input to the production process."

Could someone go into some detail, explaining the LIUR? I get that it's "available" hours divided by hours worked, but...

* "One of the most intriguing features of that evidence is that the resulting secular rising trend in the average real wage has typically failed to induce any noticeable trend in the share of available time that the working-age population devotes to work."

What "secular rising trend in the average real wage"?

* "100 hours a week on average per working-age individual"

Should we celebrate or protest when the LIUR increases? If real wages are increasing, but LIUR isn't, then economic theory asserts that labor has maxed out its working hours and cannot work more to capture the higher wages? Or has maxed out its preference for those wages in favor of something else?
I mean first off that is only in comparison to a dosage schedule of the reverse amount.

I'm just arguing that it would make more sense to start at 80-110-140-170 etc because below that is placebo.
Be it randomized algorithm or not, LeelaZero seems to play deterministically.

If given White in chess, LeelaZero plays 1. e4. Each time, every time. Guess what that means?

If you're building an opening chess database vs LeelaZero (or at least, this version of LeelaZero: https://lichess.org/@/LeelaZero-UK), you only have to worry about 1. e4 openings.

Funny, I was just thinking of switching from linux back to windows, after 20 years, because the backwards incompatibility and breakdown in modern linux package management and C++x extensions has made things very difficult. The proliferation of all the containerized solutions (flatpak, snap, appimage, etc) tries to address it but just makes it worse. It's gotten to the point where linux software written today can't be compiled run on a linux distro more than 5 years old.

Progress is great but the rapidity of obsolescence is getting intolerable.

Social media is perfectly adequate for most people's needs - organizing groups, communicating with people, browsing shared news and interests, and so on.

Realistically, social media is just a multimedia communication paradigm, and asking if social media is a broken idea is kind of like asking if the telephone is a broken idea. Plenty of people are getting value out of it, including most HN users, I'd bet.

The lack of open public spectrum is a clear mistake of the governing authorities. To run a GSM+3G+LTE network for the annual CCC congress, we have to ask commercial operators for ARFCNs to use, every year all over again, and every year it is unclear what the response will be, often up to very near the build up of the event. If we had a publicly usable spectrum for 2G,3G,4G (and 5G?) here in Germany, so much more innovation and free/open infrastructure projects would happen in mobile communication. Network coverage holes are high up on the news these days, just imagine if locals were allowed to help themselves and not rely on profit-only oriented commercial operators...
Discounting someone's complaint because "This isn't new" isn't helpful. It doesn't need to be new to be a problem - Writing an article about it to raise awareness is a good idea.

Calling this tinfoilism is also not constructive. The author points out that data is being shared, in ways that even people who try to be privacy conscious may not be aware of, or have good ways to stop.
