I watched a program on PBS back in the mid 80's about San Fransisco and the Haight Asbury Free clinic.

They were speaking with a doctor about "acid casualties" LSD. What the doctor said was really interesting.

People who have flashbacks get scared thinking their brain is fried, and it's usually triggered by something visual. The patients have visual "abnormalities" and it scares them into thinking a new acid trip will start. In reality what LSD, Mushrooms, Peyote, etc. can do is strip away all the adaptations in the visual system. He said in most cultures that use psychedelics they usually talk about cleansing, or stripping away when using psychedelics, and with the visual system it's a true statement.

When he went on to say was that when we are born our visual system is like a blank downloadable computer, and as we grow, the visual part of our brain is making adaptations based on what it knows vs what is 'senses'. He said that due to small eye movements the sensing would jiggle, especially in our peripheral vision, but we learn the the world doesn't jiggle, so the visual system makes sure that stable items don't jiggle. Tons of adaptations take place, depending on our lives and experiences some of us have more adaptions than others.

Sometimes when taking psychedelics all those adaptations get stripped out, or only some get stripped out, leaving people with the untrained system, and that untrained system doesn't present things in the same way. Colors don't look the same, sometimes things in the peripheral vision jiggle or move, moving our heads quickly while quickly moving our eyes can cause 'trails'. All indications that our visual system has had some adaptations erased.

The doctor said that eventually over time things get usually restored to normal. However he said for colors, it's interesting because for people that grew up in a different area of the country and had their color perception set at that location, they sometimes find the when wipe out the adaptions and reset things the colors sometimes don't matched. Depending on where they grew up vs where the adaptations get reset the color of the sunlight can be different, and that will alert the color adaptation.
I thought the narrative was a $1 million dollar loan from his father? Do you have a source for "100's of millions"?

Sure, a $1 million dollar loan from family is pretty generous, and an amazing starting place - certainly not a "from nothing" tale. However, it's not outlandish money for a business loan to a top-rated business school graduate with extensive industry experience either.

I'd also wager if you gave most people $1 million dollars, they would not turn it into billions within their lifetime.
You can set the TDP manually for the regular Ryzens, that does give you a significant reduction in power usage, at the cost of some performance. The difference in power usage is much larger than the drop in performance.

I haven't followed the Ryzen versions like the 3600E you mentioned, so I'm not sure how much binning is done there to get power consumption even lower, but I'd guess that you can get most of the effect with a regular Ryzen and manually setting the TDP to 45W.

TXT had RAM protection, as in, other software or hardware devices couldn't read the protected memory areas. RAM encryption itself is primarily about stopping bus sniffing or cold boot attacks. Useful, but by no means the only kind of protection you need. Especially because combining encryption with authentication is very hard. It is easy to forget that encryption doesn't stop someone flipping bits and you can corrupt the plaintext in ways useful to an attacker by doing so, hence the rise of AES/GCM. But I don't think SEV uses AEAD?

But the core technology is basically the same concept. You get a protected memory space (to some degree of protection), you can derive keys linked to the loaded code hash, and you can do remote attestation to set up a Diffie-Hellman handshake with the remote protected domain. All that stuff is identical between TXT and SEV.
I'm a native english speaker but trying to learn other languages (and speaking with english learners) has given me a new appreciation for simplicity for ease of learning. For something which wants to be the lingua franca of the world I think this is a desirable attribute. And given few things are universal across existing cultures, it doesn't leave much room for metaphor.

The whole term of African-American is indeed a confusing mess, for reasons you pointed out, but also that a straightforward interpretation might mean that Elon Musk (being South African) should fall under that umbrella, but to suggest so would land you in some hot water. I would hate to have to explain this nuance constantly to non-native speakers.

Availability heuristic: large companies get more press. Partly because they're large and therefore more likely to attract readers for stories about them, partly because their scope is vast and so journalists know about them, and partly because they intentionally seek press for their work.

At my previous (and first) software engineering job my team had set up a TON of monitoring and alerts in different channels (slack, email, grafana, etc) and since these systems were built before I arrived, I took for granted how much more efficient they made things...I just learned to use them because they were there and they worked.

When I went to my next job where monitoring and alerts weren't set up I realized how spoiled I was. Over time I got more and more frustrated with being unable to diagnose and fix issues quickly until I finally caved in to the tedious task of setting up monitoring.

> America went from having a terrible testing program to one of the best

Any sources on nCoV-2 testing program in the US? Genuinely curious, social media (that I can see from inside my bubble) is mostly buzzing with how bad things are all around, but then people rarely take the time to voice positive changes.
I never understand the mindset of these hyperpartisan people . What are they trying to achieve? They seem to forget that politics is about making things better and not just about “winning”. It would be much better if they got into sports and be hyperpartisan there where the result doesn’t really matter.

This is true - but I think the interesting (and understated) part of this argument is Big Tech's influence on the process.

Say I want to fork etcd or build a greenfield alternative - I now have to compete with (or support) the Hivemind's preferences in direction/progress. Who's to say their way is the "best" way?

I think this tension is much greater than it was 10 years ago.

> As an example, someone posted a link as a comment to the OP stating that Elon has been marketing Teslas as FSD when, in reality, the blog post in question just says that every Tesla has the hardware that makes it capable of it and that's absolutely true.

Actually, that is an utter lie, as there isn't any hardware and/or software in the world right now that is capable of "Fully Self-Driving". Sure, in limited conditions, many of these cars can drive on their own and not immediately hit the first tree or child they can find. But the current track record, especially for Tesla, is not much greater than that. And there is no hardware that could drive a car in heavy rain or snow. Hell, the sensors we have would just not work in some of the real driving conditions that people care about.

One solution: bypass the propaganda and the editorialising, go straight to the source of information which is news agencies.
The system here only works because the Canada Health Act requires every province to have a universal health insurer for provincial residents and mandates each province accept the insurance of the others. If only Ontario had a provincial insurer or the provinces didn't have to accept each other's programs there would be a ton of game theory style manipulation.

Any state trying to implement a single payer system would get crushed as tons of individuals and even other states tried to milk the system (like putting homeless people on a bus with a one way ticket).

States would need a "suicide pact" of sorts to ensure a bunch of states made the leap at the same time. There actually is such a plan to subvert the electoral college to ensure the popular vote winner always wins the presidency, but that's a relatively simple pact around single law. Health care laws a incredibly complex and rather than try some kind of weird multi-state pact you're better off fighting for a national law.

The payment averse bit is some learned helplessness due to a codependent relationship.

Some people in the business world see money as a form of control and they like it. It doesn't matter if you want $10 or $5 million. They get to decide if you get it.

I don't think open source would have gotten as far as it has if not for this misbehavior. "Hey I'm using this new tool." "Well I'm not going to pay for it [so no]." "Oh that's okay, it doesn't cost anything, seeya." "..."

We shouldn't have to submarine things into a company and then say, "we have been getting for free then we have to pay money or you have to explain to all of these stakeholders why we have to take their toys away". It's extortion, and we are debased by having to do it.

I don't know that I have a solution, I just think that pretending it isn't happening makes us accessories or at least enablers.

Are “Positivity Rates” a Useful Statistic for an Epidemic
What are your opinions about the "positivity rate"
statistic?

As I understand it, positivity rate is defined as

(Positive Tests)/(Total Tests)

for some sampling period (day, week, etc).

Since tests are:

1. not given to individuals on any basis other than

a) showing up at a testing site voluntarily or

b) possibly being given a test as a result of a physician's exam or hospitalization [note how different these two cases are].

and

2. results are grouped arbitrarily (sometimes by facility, sometimes by county, sometimes by city, etc., in other words, no consistent grouping)

I fail to see that positivity rate is useful for any purpose.

No control appears to be present at all. That is, there is little to prevent someone from being tested repeatedly day after day, or even several times per day, although honestly I believe that uncommon. Many factors can influence who is tested: day of week, holidays, special events, just got home from France, I'm off today and have nothing else to do, someone has a cough, someone else has a fever, my back hurts, etc.

Using positivity rate as a reliable predictor of anything appears to be an abandonment of standard statistics and assumes that (in the case of daily sampling) each day's sample is representative of the whole population, a surely flawed assumption.

While "positivity rate" is indeed easy to compute, are there not better methods available (e.g., random sampling of the population) that would provide truly useful information?

In terms of bizmodel - we're thinking about paid promotion of packages - allowing maintainers (companies and individuals) to promote their packages.

We want to limit it to a single clearly-marked promoted package for each category. Obviously, we would just surface the promoted package, but the package reviews, insights, and metrics are obviously untouched.

Obviously, users would be happy if GitHub included some of those functionalities inside the repos.
However, I don't think GitHub could simply put user reviews on all repos (technically they could, but business-wise that would not be a smart decision).
So even if they were to do that, and user reviews were an opt-in feature in GitHub, then you'd have reviews enabled for some packages and not for others, which is suboptimal.
How Gobble got profitable after burning 1M$/month
Well there's two things we have to consider:

1) Pareto: where there's a power law based distribution. So it is possible that 5% of sites have more than 50% of impact.

This just means it isn't out of the bounds of possibilities. But we'd have to dig deeper into which sites garner the majority of eyes (though we'd expect a power law in this).

2) Left learning areas tend to be more population dense.

Of course with these two considerations we haven't really made any conclusions. I just want to point out that a small number of sites can reasonably hold the majority of viewership. Which sites those are and which bias they entail, that requires a real analysis. We've just stated that the conjecture isn't impossible.

Most of these sites are conservative. An interesting question is to ask why?

I believe a large part of the reason is that conservatives feel pressed to engage in such guerilla tactics since the mainstream Media is already hyper-partisan on the Left. Almost all nationally recognized news and opinion publishers are dominated by Democrats and their reporting reflects it.

Understanding this prompts deeper questions and reflection about the nature of the media and popular opinions.

What happens to ideology when one party dominates media to the extent that the Democrats do? Extremism.
That’s little different from a boycott, which has always been a tool available to the powerless.

Unschooling is a very loosely defined concept. I've seen a spectrum of unschooling ranging from 1-2 hours a day with a parent/teacher of formal instruction coupled with self-directed learning and socialization to completely allowing children to do what they want whenever. A lot of it depends on the child (how self-directed they are) and the ways that the family is able to support their learning through the learning environment (often known as the child's third teacher.)

Does the parent engage the children in learning all the time, engaging with them when they ask why? And guiding them to their own answers? That makes a big impact.

Often unschoolers tend to be very autonomous. If they do transfer from being unschooled to schooled, teachers love them because they are self-motivated and curious.

There's a lot of great books on self-directed education, though this is someone different than unschooling as a concept.

I run an organization that supports families learning from home and we've reviewed a couple resources related to unschooling and homeschooling that might be helpful.

The Alliance for Self-Directed Education has great research and information on unschooling:

https://www.modulo.app/self-directed-education/asde

Free to Learn is possibly the most important book on unschooling and how kids turn out
https://www.modulo.app/self-directed-education/freetolearn

Class Dismissed gives a taste of what happens when you give kids a period of deschooling
https://www.modulo.app/self-directed-education/classdismisse...

I think what's most important to remember is that different approaches work better for different kids and that unschooling means different things to different people.

Some equate unschooling with secular homeschooling.
Others see it as self-directed education.

Some view homeschooling as a more inclusive approach to education that reinvents the school schedule, so children are learning and socializing in a more organic way than a 9-3 school schedule.

This is fallacious thinking, if you already have biases that confirm or deny information in accordance with your conclusion. If you continue to apply different standards of proof you will end up with a distorted perception of the world. Maybe not in this subject (but maybe so), though certainly in many more.
I'll tell you more: a lot of hyperpartisan sites and even TV channels are masquerading as national news.

> The reason people think Elon may do level 5 autonomy is because his companies have accomplished several things that industry experts said were either infeasible or impossible.

That is all well and good, but what is at issue here and in many of these comments is the deceptive/dangerous marketing around Tesla's current offerings and, implicitly, the potential dangers it presents to the public roadways.

There is no progress if said "progress" is achieved unethically at any stage of its development.

I think we all, deep down, know this to be true.

I think Musk does not believe in that or marginalizes it (to cynically achieve business objectives) given some of his public statements and actions (snubbing the NTSB during the Mountain View investigation, taking his own hands off the wheel for a considerable period of time during an early 60 Minutes interview, several questionable statements on Twitter, glossing over the hundreds of abuses on YouTube and other social media platforms) with respect to Tesla - particularly in the past year or so.

Furthermore, let us consider that developing a highly desirable electric vehicle and the technical bar to clear to achieve that pales in comparison technologically to what Musk and Tesla are promising in Level 5 autonomous driving several times (wrongly) in the past and in the near future. Level 5 Autonomy presents several unpredictable engineering unknowns that may require similarly unpredictable breakthroughs while the development of say, the Model 3, was an iterative improvement upon what was already available in the market at the time - impressive improvement though it may be.
