It's currently a minority position, but there is an argument to be made that constructive use of psychedelics by children with their parents can be beneficial, for various reasons (such as forging a stronger bond between parent and child, and fostering empathy by using empathogens like MDMA, to revealing the world of the sacred to the child through a mystical experience, and so on).

Search around the web for "psychedelic parenting" to find advocates of this approach.

I expect that as the so-called Psychedelic Renaissance blossoms, and psychedelics become more widely accepted in mainstream society, this minority position will become less of a minority position.

It is not unimaginable that some day there may once again be society-wide initiation ceremonies and rites of passage for children involving psychedelics used as sacraments, maybe not unlike what Aldous Huxley envisioned in his book Island, and what traditional societies have done in ages past and some continue to do even now.

In the priority order:

1. Climbing mountains, hiking.
2. Have a goal to learn something new everyday.. thats how i measuring quality of the day.. zero learning = bad day
3. From time to time short term works to earn some money. Usually companies very surprised then i tell them that i prefer short term projects. Shorter = better

So far so good ;) (approx 10 years)

Good luck

>FU money is 10x FIRE

How do you figure? I always had in my mind that FU money was the amount you needed to quit immediately and be fine forever, which also sounds pretty much like FIRE. Granted, my mental model of FU money is not cash in the bank but passive cashflow which is probably coming from investments FIRE-style, which is maybe where the difference is.

Oh I don't disagree with you, and I think your points are all very valid - a firm like DE Shaw is much less bad than the market participants with active conflicts of interest. Perhaps my rant is a bit misplaced on this thread.

Some basic arguments against are:

1. They are providing a service that adds no (or at least dubious) value to society. And again, I do think it's possible to have highly liquid, highly efficient markets where the amount extracted by prop trading firms is much smaller. But you're right that's an arbitrary statement, and who am I to say it's not already down to a reasonable level.
2. They do extract a lot of value. Maybe they're just siphoning it from banks and other hedge funds, in which case kudos (not to pick on hedge funds - they're just not a sympathetic victim). But probably at least some of it is extracted from mutual/index funds, pension funds, etc. Not the worst thing in the world and good on them for figuring out ways to make money, but it doesn't feel great.
3. Opportunity cost to society of the brilliant folks who wind up working there. Meh.

Way less bad than conflicted parties hurting their clients for their own gain. But I don't think they should be glorified either.

There is _some_ value in knowing that you had it even after the fact. Having a positive PCR test is way better than a positive antibody test. This knowledge means that it is unlikely that you will get it again soon. (Though, we don't have very good data on that. It will take some time till we know how long immunity lasts and how well it works.)

For test and trace to suppress the epidemic you'd want to have results before people become infectious to chase the infection chain quicker than it spreads. That means contact identification and test results in the order of 1-2 days (the faster the better but with peak about 3-8 days after infection you want to be on the lower end). Right now this strategy is not feasible since there are just too many cases coming in. Therefore this calls for a hard lockdown until the case rate is manageable again. Since the lockdown is not going to happen it will continue to spread till the hot zones burn out. Getting to herd immunity without overloading the hospitals is unlikely and would probably take years. Therefore overloading the hospitals is inevitable now. The difference between hospitals overloaded by a factor 3, 10, 100 does not seem so very big since you can't care for most patients anyways. Overloading heavily on the other hand has the advantage that it might be over soon and you are done with it (or maybe not, we don't know how long lasting immunity is and how many people will have serious health problems afterwards). So in summary: We are probably beyond the point of no return and whatever happens will happen. I wish you all and your loved ones good health and good luck.

Machine Learning CO2 Impact Calculator
No amount of budget-boosting would be enough to keep up with exponential growth. If they hired enough people to cope with the contact tracing load near the end of lockdown plus a little bit of an increase, and then the increase was faster than expected, that sounds like a pretty clear sign that contact tracing is not a workable solution. (Which is, as I understand it, pretty much what we'd expect. Contact tracing has not conventionally been seen as even remotely viable for a respiratory disease like this one.)

People would be mad about it, but it would be reasonably straightforward to discard samples that were not urgent (so that testing for urgent samples remained prompt and available).

There also seem to be some utilization problems. Some folks I know got tested after 1 person had enough symptoms. The person with symptoms got sampled several days before 3 other people and got their result last, probably because of which lab was used.

2. I was in software for 20+ years. It was all I had ever wanted to do from the time I was 13. In hindsight, I’d say you have a phase of the moon in which to make your money and get out. It’s a brutal industry and you will likely face burn out at some point and you need to be prepared for that moment. I was in many different roles and responsibilities over that time, but the bottom line was I hit a point where none of it was fun, the clients were a pain in the ass, and it was just time to do something else that better fit my life.

If a young person came to me and asked for career advice, I’d be very direct about what to do and not do in a tech related field.

Here are just a few examples of sports that require continuous attention from your entire body in response to an external stimulus:

Snowboarding, downhill skiing, mountain biking, and any martial art. These are from personal experience, I’m sure there are plenty of other examples.

Even weight training, which is an experimental group in this article, when done properly, requires high levels of neuro-muscular coordination and development. I am always weary of studies that evaluate “strength training” because there are so many different approaches with wildly different outcomes. Let’s just say that a max effort squat by an athlete with around two years of proper training emphasizing technique requires a hell of a lot more coordination than busting a move on the dance floor. I’ve been weight training for 15 years and I still feel like I am learning something new every time I get under the bar with the right mindset. The mindset part is key, because if you are just going through the motions then you’re not developing new skills. But I would bet a lot of money that top level strength athletes would say that their form is far from “perfect” and that this the area that affords the biggest opportunity for improvement.

This is the part where I’m going to be brash. Unless you tell me exactly what defines a strength training regimen in your study, I will assume it’s something along the lines of curls and lunges done with tiny dumbbells over a large amount of reps. Especially if your study calls it “repetitive”. There’s nothing repetitive about proper strength training. Every rep that’s done mindfully affords a unique learning opportunity.

Sports simply too complex to categorize in simple terms like “dancing” or “resistance training”. In the context of experimental design, our definitions have to be much more precise.

Having said all that, this is how I interpret this article: “Learning complex motor skills that require high levels of attention is better for the brain than doing 100 curls with 3 lb dumbbells.” And my response to that is “no shit”.

I finished setting up my Homelab Kubernetes setup this week. It's running two K3s[0] (a lightweight kubernetes) "clusters". One single node on a HP Microserver for media, storage, etc and one multi-node on Raspberry Pi's for IoT. For my homelab I don't need pretty autoscaling, so just a single node is enough. For the rpi's I'll probably try K3s HA cluster as they can be unreliable when the SD card eventually fails.

Previously I used hand-crafted, Ansible, Salt, Puppet and Docker setups (that last one died two weeks ago prompting me to start the K3s setup). But they all ended up becomming snowflakes, making them to much hassle to maintain.
What I like best about the K3s setup is that I can just flash K3OS[1] to a SD card with near zero configuration and just apply the Kubernetes resources (through Terraform in this case, but Helm is also a great timesaver).

I still have to figure out a nice way to do persistent storage. But for now since it's one node (the IoT cluster does not have state) the local-path Persistent Volumes work well enough. Might have a look into Rook.

I will admit it's not trivial to get started with Kubernetes, but since I already needed to study it for work this provides me with a nice training ground. Alternatively Hashicorp offers nice solutions in this space as well with Consul and Nomad. But it needs a little bit more assembly, whereas K3s comes with batteries included (build in Traefik reverse proxy, load balancer and DNS).

I kind of did the opposite- went from working in construction and ended up doing development as part of my job.

I briefly worked for a pipeline installation company ( oil,gas,etc), where welders were making fantastic money. So a few things on health:
Welding electrode design has been improving,so welders get less toxic fumes than they used to a decade ago.
People working in fields with pipelines often get joint problems because of extensive time spent in poor weather. Lots of awkward positions- which is harmful long term and etc. Also high end welding isn't something quick to get into: it does require a lot of experience and few people progress enough to become really good at it.

SwissGear 1900 Scansmart TSA Laptop Backpack – Grey Heather Review
A hit structure, the notableSWISSGEAR 1900 ScanSmart Laptop backpack 17 inch knapsack keeps on being picked by street warriors on numerous occasions! With a lay-level TSA-affirmed tech compartment, secure your PC and tablet inside assigned work pockets. Reserve supplies, and your shades inside sorted out outside pockets while making sure about your cell phone and huge apparatus inside a large principle compartment. This profoundly utilitarian pack likewise includes a substantial snatch handle and ergonomic ties for in a hurry comfort.

The SwissGear (SG) is all around produced using strong materials. It is agreeable to convey and the ventilated cushioning on the shoulder ties and back of the pack should add to its solace during expanded times of wear. The SG has all that anyone could need pockets for the entirety of your needs: telephone, MP3 player, links, chargers, shades, water bottles, and so forth. Fascinating that as natural as the plan is for this knapsack, the vehicle keys cut is practically pointless in its present structure. Rather than having a clasp to append, snatch or clasp your key ring into, you would need to include the female finish of the clasp that accompanies the knapsack to your key ring so as to associate. I’m the sort of individual that wants to downplay his key mess, so this doesn’t work for me. If I somehow happened to have kept this knapsack I would have added a clasp to the joined key ring of the rucksack with the goal that it would cut into and hold my keys. Not a serious deal, yet vital in any case.
The current positive rate in the US is 8.5%. A test that always returns negative would be more than 90% accurate but completely useless.

I've thought this for many years, but I've never come up with so succinct and perfect a way of expressing it. Anonymity prevents free speech by making it easy to just drown any legitimate speech or valuable information in a torrent of bullshit.

This was always somewhat true due to the prevalence of human trolls and propagandists, but the ability to generate content automatically makes the problem orders of magnitude worse.

In the world of deep fakes and stuff like GPT-3 (which can be used for what amounts to deep fakes for text), any information without clear provenance is worse than worthless. It's a form of pollution whose result is to confuse, misdirect, misinform/disinform, and indoctrinate, and it's impossible to use it for anything legitimate since it's completely unverifiable and could easily be fake.

Right now it's possible to detect deep fakes, but it probably won't be long until the technology is good enough that this is very hard.

Then there's the fact that a lot of people won't even check. People just believe claims in stupid memes and forward them.

Example: a photo of a supposed Denver International Airport mural depicting kids in masks with different flags on them was going around a while back. The claim was that this showed some kind of foreknowledge of COVID-19 going all the way back to the 1990s. Turns out the photo was of a recent painting that was not from DIA. It was totally fake. I've still seen it making the rounds.

I've been predicting that deep fakes will make an appearance this October in the Presidential election. I think there's a really good chance. It'll be at the last minute so nobody has time to perform any analysis or fact check anything.
Heh, that's why I asked. I'm one of the developers of VRChat.
