Does it handle help automatically? If not, and you think that'd be a valuable addition, I would like to take a crack at implementing it :)

What I mean is if you execute script.py help, it will print out the possible options, along with their docstrings, or maybe just the first line.
It's not a cake walk illness for many that get it. The things I read seem to assume that you're completely fine if you aren't on death's door. But many of the first hand accounts from people that got it (and didn't go to the hospital) is the you absolutely do not want it.

I'm going to err on the side of not getting it if given a choice.

The process that patients go through when participating in a medical trial of psilocybin is so different than the typical recreational setting that the rest of us experience these drugs. They do everything they can to make sure the patient is well prepared and has the minimum chance of having a bad trip.

However, every time I read about studies into psychedelics, I only ever hear about the upsides and not the potential downsides. I went through a similar experience to you - although not as severe. I had anxiety for about 3 years after my bad trip which luckily gradually reduced over time.

What worries me is that the more these drugs gain credibility in the medical field the more likely it is that depressed kids are going to self-medicate and given the ability of these drugs to multiply the user's existing anxieties, they should be the last people who should be experimenting and self-medicating with them.
Yes, perhaps they could come to the UK and protest against the way the British government allows its citizens to be extradited to the USA. The existing British population seems a bit too meek in that respect.

That's really interesting to know, thanks. I think for my purposes a lot of high-quality information isn't paid - it's academic, policy, and nonprofit sources mainly. I feel like you could make a lot of improvement for my purposes just by:

- Downweighting commercial sources and upweighting academic, government, and nonprofit sources.

- Using some measure of quality, maybe even something simple like length + reading age?

- Building big whitelists of quality sites and blacklists of low-quality sites, as picked by human curators and users

Beyond this, perhaps users could plug in sources that are particularly useful for them, including ones they have subscriptions to. I've thought it would be handy to have search results include ebooks, papers, and notes on my computer, for example.

But maybe the userbase of people who need high quality, non-subscription info is too small to get this started.

The US economy at large is/has been destroyed, with up to half of the layoffs likely being permanent job losses.

Europe has avoided mass layoffs, but the US is throwing tens of millions of its citizens under a bus. Lockdown has to end in weeks, not months.
Well, to the point that country is the UK, not the US. I argue the UK has a moral responsibility here: they handed (largely) free British subjects over to a tyrannical regime.

Note that I am not arguing that their responsibility is derived from their colonial past; but rather, from the handover itself. (arguably this whole mess really started with the New Territories lease. "99 years". Foolish.)
I'm not one to be naive, but it feels like justifying any executive order would require stretching logic quite thin. Executive orders generally get a pass because they function by instructing federal agencies how to operate. This one would seemingly be an attempt to directly order a private company to do something.

It might take one or two rounds of appeals to find a sensible judge that agrees the President doesn't have this power. But overall I wouldn't think Trump has been able to replace enough judges with stooges as to destroy the whole system.
Do you think TSA is security theater?

Because the name of the game is keeping the terrorism rate low. Catching some potentially-dangerous passengers (even if not all) serves that purpose directly and effectively. Nothing remotely "theater" about it.
It doesn't have to be for altruistic reasons, I'm betting the USA would benefit from having an influx of immigrants from a developed nation that shares our values.

Github as social media?
No, that puts restrictions on everyone, which are so harsh many organisations (even startups) wouldn't touch GPL'd code with a bargepole.

I was thinking more along the ideas of adding restrictions only for corporations of a certain size, or perhaps only if they intend to use it in a certain way - kind of like the licenses that exclude large cloud operators like AWS from using your work without contributing back.
For me it certainly is a feature. I want the microphone of when turning down the lid.

I mean, the microphone is under the lid anyway so you are not doing whoever you are talking to any favours by using it in clamshell mode anyway.
>or even that it is feasible at all (what with writing even linked lists being difficult).

You're right, a Rust OS kernel probably wouldn't use linked lists but I'm not sure why that is a barrier to making a kernel. The redox[0] kernel is written entirely in Rust.

antibody tests are security theater, unless they only allow immune patients to fly.
If it's true Hawaii better get use to having no tourism to their state. No one can just go get tested. You have to show multiple signs of covid before they will allow you to test, and at that point you surely won't be traveling. This is an unsustainable approach for a state which heavily relies on tourism to sustain itself.
It looks like zipapps built with “shiv” need to extract the contents of the zip file to disk before they can run? Does it delete the extracted files on exit?

If so, the extraction is going to make startup very slow. If not, that’s just messy. Either way, it’s not ideal.
Very true. People currently love VS Code and it makes their life much easier. I remember for a long time .NET friends of mine would extol Microsoft just cause Visual Studio worked really well with C#. Microsoft could do no wrong as long they could seamlessly work on Windows Apps.
Hi, just wanted to chime in and ask a question. Wouldn't MS (or any company for that matter) get in legal trouble for endorsing/crediting a developer who has a history of making software that uses/manages pirated content? The software I'm talking about is Sonarr, and it’s made by Keivan himself. I'm not aware of the legalities here, so asking.
You can talk to your boss and face consequences, but we're talking about the case of not being able to talk at all. I think you should learn how to follow a conversation.

Psychedelic trips aren't a permanent cure for depression though. They have really good long-term effects on remission, but that still means nearly half won't remit.

> At a follow-up appointment after three months, 5 out of 12 patients were still in remission and 7 out of 12 showed a continued response

It often shines a light on the causes, but sometimes the causes are intractable/ongoing, or the only resolution is to learn to accept.

So they allow kiddy porn? Of course, not. So yes, they are censoring content... What a lie.
By that logic, you can justify literally anything: if it might have some theoretical impact on “transmission rate”, you do it because doing something makes people feel like they’re doing something.

A. scan and file

B. scan and throw

C. scan and shred

D. just throw

Scanner OCRs the docs and drops them into Dropbox (unlimited business plan).

I found that A is a very very tiny minority (1-5%) of all documents.

Yes, but it's very localized. The magnetic field of earth is typically modeled as a dipole where the magnetic field strength is the same as you go around the equator at the same altitude.

Maybe with northern lights over equator, I'd have to think about it more, but it's odd to think of an aurora where the magnetic field lines are parallel with the ground rather than normal to the ground (particles are much more mobile along field lines rather than across field lines in plasmas).
I feel like I should say this in every post about this kind of topic. "Dark matter" was a term used by astronomers to refer to anything that was not shining in a star. Astronomers work with photons in all manner of ways. If it emits photons in a star, then you might call it "light matter."

In the original definition, if it was a bit of dust between stars or even galaxies? It's dark matter. Asteroid ejected from a solar system? Dark matter. Itty-bitty planet you cannot resolve with a telescope because it is so close to the parent star and so tiny? It's dark matter. Pinpoint black hole? Dark matter. An electron anti-neutrino sliding unnoticed through galaxies and the hearts of stars for the last few billion years? Dark matter. If it isn't emitting photons due to recent, local fusion and you have had to infer its existence somehow? It's dark matter.

The term itself has evolved and now often has an implicit "non-baryonic" in the mix, but don't always count on that.

Perhaps this is too much of a tangent, but why do people feel the need to type out "Uh" or "Um" in internet discussions? Are they trying to mimic the way they speak offline, because if so, it doesn't come across particularly well.
The Brits were also on the other side of the ocean, and we had substantial military support from the French. Things probably would have turned out differently if the UK could literally drive down the road to the colonies.
Believe it or not, I think we are a lot closer to an agreement than it seems. I would not ever dream of claiming that Iran is innocent in how things are. That said, I would like to point out that, they did not begin their existence by breaking global norms by storming American embassy. Their history is a little longer than that. Their history with US is longer than that too.

We can pursue this conversation once we agree on that simple truth.
The PR value to Microsoft of making him whole, and of reinforcing the impression of a newly ethical and positive force in the community, would have positively dwarfed the fraction of a rounding error it would have cost to do so.

Banal, tone-deaf, emergent corporate amorality shouldn't be the touchstone of the new Microsoft.

Honest question though: shouldn't it be possible to only write single kernel modules (like drivers) in rust, without switching out the entire OS at once?

Oh, I'll jump in here.

Yes. I've built multiple pieces of free software, including open source drivers, data packages, libraries and even the odd game mod. Those projects have been used by individuals, corporations and other projects, both opensource and closed.

And no, I'm not entitled to free software, but I am entitled to where I spend my time, money and support. I do financially support open source projects that I use (and keep a spreadsheet in Notion to track that on a yearly basis). I also believe that if I'm going to integrate software into my day-to-day and depend on that software, it must be open source or have an open source available alternative (ala Android).

Open source isn't about making (or saving) a dollar. It's about software being more than just a means to profit.
> You can talk to your boss and face consequences, but we're talking about the case of not being able to talk at all.

No, we're not. Trump's tweets are still there. He retains the ability to post. All Twitter did was exercise their own free speech by adding a note below it.
Really slick! Love this.
I think part of the problem is the attitude that if your hardware is compromised so is the software, so you don’t need to account for the more insane inputs. After all, at least it doesn’t make much sense to have a device send special packets to cause DOS when it can for instance just blow up the system by causing electrical overload.

Still better to have these issues fixed.
If by "effective" we mean "reduces the transmission rate of the virus" then yes, temperature checks, wearing masks, washing hands, testing for the virus, physical distancing... these are all effective ways to reduce the spread of the virus.
I think it might just be a hangover from the view that "you're missing X from what we consider a normal neuro-chemistry so we'll give you a constant dose of Y to make some changes to the level of X"

This has always felt like it was treating the wrong thing. The way that neurons operate seems to be much more complex than just the changes made by neurotransmitter levels and flooding the entire network with higher levels of a neurotransmitter probably has all kinds of unintended consequences. I think this approach is often applied because its something that can be done quickly and easily and has immediate effect rather than spending months and years retraining the patient's brain. I hope that we see a revolution in clinical treatment that combines guided psychedelic therapy and daily practice. We need a more compassionate approach than just twisting a knob and nailing it in place.

Maybe it's because they've already been used to wreak havoc as part of secret government operations, and those that have used it to commit crimes under the auspices of a government operation presume that once more people can do exactly what they've been doing for years, many more people WILL do it, simply because they can.

Great. Thanks for the forecast. Awesome that you're out there using deep fakes on "the bad guys" already. Really great to know that you're out there fabricating evidence already, and your worried that someone will do to you, whatever it is you've been doing for some time now.

By whom? Every side can argue either way to truth or lie.

Looking at the arguments in the multiple posts of this topic / concept we have people saying President Trump’s statement is false and true. It depends on the perspective, a significant amount of which is tribal based. You can get a great example of how a person’s thoughts change depending on who says it if you watch any of the YouTube videos of people asking opinions on a quote; when it was revealed to be someone from their tribe, BOOM!, perspective change.

Fact checking could be accomplished by a three person team that has items presented to them without context. But, we would need them to be isolated from society to ensure their purity in a subject matter.

I am curious how that C# -> TypeScript transition is going, and how it is structured.

I was in a project that involved a team of mostly traditional enterprise .NET devs writing a greenfield app in Python (language choice mandated from up top). The result was basically something that was designed like a dogmatic enterprise .NET application, only using Python abused and wrangled to fit that style.

After that project was done, for subsequent work, the team split into two camps - one camp that despised being forced to work with Python and continued to write Python in enterprise .NET style, and one camp that decided to explore more about Python and try working in more "Pythonic" style. Code review sessions were full of emotions and drama.

Pretty much everyone in the first camp eventually left, either for other internal teams that were still working in .NET, or for other companies.
Europe has way better social safety net and labor rules.

The way to have done this was to have a swift, effective response to the virus. We missed that. Now we are suffering the consequences.

Other places did better and are not having to make as stark a choice.
One issue with lambda calculus that could indicate it is not the "simplest possible computational framework" is that there is no bound on the amount of work a single step of beta reduction will do. It is dubious to call such a black box computational action simple. You can decompose beta reduction into smaller steps but I wouldn't say it's obvious which refinement of lambda calculus is simplest.

Furthermore, the complexity of beta reduction means that there are a multiplicity of strategies for executing it which are external to the definition of lambda calculus. Not so simple.

Lambda calculus also has a bias for the flow of information from the leaves of a term up to its root while demands flow from the root to the leaves. This is basically how functions work but it produces an asymmetry between a term and its environment. Higher order terms allow information to flow in very complex ways but there are simple computational ideas that are hard to capture in lambda calculus without monstrously complicated recursion schemes or modifications to lambda calculus. Think of the symmetric possibilities of flow of information in a spreadsheet.

Asynchronous computation, concurrent processing, and sharing of work have been with us since the dawn of computers and have their own basic mechanisms and principles, but they are at odds with beta reduction and functional information flow.

Lambda calculus is amazing but there surely is a frontier beyond it. Human reasoning is frequently biased to think functionally, in terms of inputs and outputs where outputs are treated differently from inputs, but the world and computation are full of relations and processes, too.
It shrinks quite a bit when in on-top mode, I found.
