From my own personal experience, pot seriously impairs my cognitive performance. I’ll only do it if I don’t have to work for the next 48 hours (eg. a Friday night or vacation). If I’m undertaking some kind of serious effort I can’t do it at all, because that period of impairment will stop my progress.

I think if I had a different kind of job, that didn’t require me to figure out a lot of details, it wouldn’t matter.

I understand that others have a totally different experience and can code while stoned. But I’m not surprised that the average results would show lower performance if a chunk of the population is like me.

I am a regular pot smoker in my mid-40s. I have been using marijuana regularly since I was 16 and have participated in several studies of this nature since I was in my early 20s.

I have volunteered for these because I have always felt that marijuana does not diminish my cognitive performance for certain tasks -- and definitely does not diminish my memory recall abilities.

Some of these tests involved listening to short stories, and re-telling then an hour later, and other memory games.

I like to think I aced them, to keep the bell curve wide.

On one occasion, the researcher did indicate this to me, well after the experiments were over.
These sound like awesome techniques to have in your toolkit. Any idea if they've been studied in double blinded evidence based trials on patients for efficacy? We need more tools like this at our disposal for cracking the code on the last frontier that is mental health, in addition to the current shotgun approach of flooding our synapses with neurochemicals via SSRIs.

Also wish I could try psychoactives like Psilocybin which many have had life changing positive responses to.

I live in Las Vegas (where it's recreationally legal), and they break down not only the amount of THC, but by percentage of each terpene in the strain. Nevada's cannabis industry is pretty heavily tested and regulated, definitely moreso than places we like to vacation, such as the PNW. Our last trip to Portland, we stopped by a dispensary to pick up a couple pre-rolls, and probed the bud-tenders about mercene percentage, only to realize later, it's not something regulated by the state. We left with some prerolls they suggested, and probably looking a bit like pretentious tourists.

It would be tragic if taking vitamin D supplements had a negative effect on Covid survivability.

I think that it is extremely unlikely, though possible unless a specific study has ruled this out.

EG: Perhaps vitamin D supplementation upon Covid-19 diagnoses is only effective if you have not been supplimenting.

Like: Maybe drinking alcohol at a party is helpful to court a new partner, unless you are an alcoholic already. Not the best analogy but I hope you'll take my point in good faith.

While potency has increase that doesn't directly correlate to everyone is getting higher. That's still a matter of intake and in this case users are likely smoking a lot less.

In the `70s most of what was available was crappy "dirt weed" (called so because it tasted like dirt when you smoked it) and it was full of seeds.

The strains they have now can tastes like all kinds of things, fruity, spicy, etc. I'm not an expert on that, but I've done a few "tastings" and the different flavors are really pretty amazing.

Police violence towards people of color and many aspects of the justice system (sentencing, etc) are examples of current day systemic racism.

I know you are smart and capable enough to find sources / evidence about those things as it’s been a huge topic of conversation across the nation for the past few months.

Any reputable newspaper. Any reputable university. The Federal Government itself.

Or simply using your eyes and ears and heart and Occam’s razor.

So, if you don’t want to see, acknowledge, or believe it, that’s on you.

I’m not going to play the game where it’s my job to convince the skeptic that the sky is blue when they say “oh but it’s night right now and it sure doesn’t look blue to me.”

If you want to share a link to a reputable source mentioned by Larry Elder I’ll take a quick look but I’m not watching a video.

Also the idea that “the horrible systemic racism in the past” is all gone now, when “the past“ was only 70 years ago (1960), is silly, when you consider how entrenched racism is in America here since day one.

If only the world changed that quickly.

1. No nation on Earth allows foreigners to move and work without a visa. Singling out the US here is completely illogical.

2. A nation regulating the movement of people into it's borders is a fundamental function of any government. Not having that would be like removing passwords from your server and opening it to the internet.

Unless they are going to dictate a lot of technical details this ignores a number of safety concerns. Electric vehicles typically design safety in at the vehicle level. There may be several high voltage capacitors in the system which can kill you in an instant if not properly discharged. Manufacturers also consider things like severed cables in an accident and plan for that when considering how to dissipate that charge in different scenarios.

It will get sorted I'm sure, but there are often technical details that change when changes like this are made.

They will even need to standardize connectors and possibly protocols to really do this well.

I agree in a general sense, as there are a lot of excellent examples in the wild at this point (of companies consciously maintaining their developer base), such as Cloudflare, Fastly, Stripe, DigitalOcean, Twilio, GitHub and so on.

Interestingly, perceptrons and Cobol are almost the same age.

"The perceptron algorithm was invented in 1958"[1]

"COBOL was designed in 1959 by CODASYL and was partly based on the programming language FLOW-MATIC designed by Grace Hopper."[2]

I did a much easier solution for my airconditioner (also in Tokyo so everything OP said applies): I bought a broadlink rm mini3 (IR emitter) for <$30 and hooked it up to homebridge using homebridge-broadlink-rm [0].
Then went ahead and recorded all signals my aircon remote could send and put it in an excel sheet for safe-keeping. Next, plugged the IR codes into the homebridge plugin, put the small device in line-of-sight with the aircon and tadaaa, my old ghetto aircon is now smart.

For getting the temperature of the room, I use other devices (a netatmo weather station) and used their API to pull the current degrees into a textfile on the server that is getting fed into the airconditioner plugin.

Bonuspoint: I use the same IR emitter to control my TV. I just have to make sure it's in a place that is in line-of-sight with both my TV and aircon, but given how small apartments here are - that was not a problem. The plugin has a functionality to frequently ping an IP for checking if something is turned on, so I use that to determine whether my TV is on/off.

Chernobyl is not a good comparison, because that reactor design had a number of flaws that nobody in their right mind would have designed into it even then, let alone now. (The Soviet Union was not in its right mind.) And then on top of that, the operators were running an experiment with the reactor without having thought through the consequences.
Another cool fact: IIRC, the heat was so intense it basically incinerated all flora and fauna across distances that effectively encompassed most of the Americas. The rest of the planet burned more slowly, relatively speaking, as material fell back from outer space and forests burned in a planet-wide conflagration.

Breeder reactors research was quite huge (one of the first breeder was built in the US in 1951).

Then this technology has been, for all practical purposes, abandoned by nearly all countries that were researching and developing it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor#Future_plants

One of the most (if not the most) ambitious project was Superphénix, costed billions and failed flat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix

The sole officially actively pursued pertinent design, BREST-OD-300 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BREST_(reactor) ), was planned to be built in 2020 ( https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NN_Fast_moves_for_nuclear... ) and real work didn't even began ( https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Russia-awards-co... ). Moreover it will only (when built, if ever, but not before 2026) be a demonstrator (low power).
Except in no way is that "for free." You're absolutely paying for it, just in the form of a percentage markup forever.
I'm really not sure that makes you right. It's a fact that FAN is 2% or so of revenue for FB. And it's also a fact that FB, with their analytics/ads SDK and all the data they ingest from their own applications, already owns a very important data source for their targeted ads. These are plain as day facts. If you ever bought ads, you'd know that FAN, for the typical buyers, represents a tiny fraction of spend on FB (less than 5% typically). Then journalists can write what they want, as much as I like Arstechnica and pay for it, that's just plain wrong and countered by facts. It's also frankly funny how little journalists know about ads when in most cases it's the source of their income.

Furthermore, it's absolutely hilarious to think that the most valuable company in the world, with enough cash reserves to be able to almost buy FB outright, would somehow be willing to walk back their core value message because their, allegedly, value adversary asks. Apple made the change because they would have cratered their app economy and they themselves weren't going to play by their own rules, FB maybe played a role because $2B are a lot of money for the free apps, but they aren't a lot of money for FB. It's really hilarious to think that Apple gives a crap about what FB writes on their site, specifically when it's about privacy. Apples cares about its ecosystem, not about what FB says. Totally hilarious.
Have you thought about why having a standard causes all these problems with undefined behavior? The point of a standard is to be less specific than a reference implementation. That's why it's written in English, not code. That means definitions are fuzzy, which is why every kind of English-language law, rule, or spec is vulnerable to malicious compliance.

If C had a judge, like the legal system, he could deny attempts to use fuzziness in the standard (intended to prevent specifying bugs) to introduce bugs. Unfortunately, C doesn't have a judge with common sense, it has people who think the standard is code and anything that is undefined really is a license to do whatever you want.

I guess this problem was inevitable as soon as the words "nasal demons" were put to keyboard. Now the only thing that can save us is a reference implementation.

That's not the only thing it depends on.

We got 2 cats who were brothers—littermates—from a friend of a friend, who owned the mother and took very good care of all the kittens until they adopted out most of them.

One of the two brothers is obsessed with food, and would cheerfully eat himself up to bowling ball proportions if we let him.

The other would, if permitted, be a very happy "graze when it suits him" cat. Alas, given his brother's propensities, this is not possible.

At least feeding him in a little ball with adjustable holes means he no longer regularly wolfs his food so fast he throws up...
Yeah, you summed it up pretty well I think.

It's definitely an arms race, and IMO it makes sense to push back on areas where one can. Are you implying that it's not a worthwhile effort and that the battle is lost?

I'm thinking 1) DNS control with block lists 2) browser extensions (restricting canvas, removing tracking parts of urls) 3) be restrictive of disclosing PIIs 4) IP obfuscation along the lines I laid about above should make it a lot less deterministic and decrease confidence in merging of datasets.

Rule lists obviously have to be continuously updated.

Only a sith deals in absolutes but from your perspective am I missing something?
This is pretty accurate and a technique I used, but I've never thought about doing this on purpose. One of the reasons I try to make friends with younger people is because they have a better view of where things are going, rather than people in their 30s. It's not just communication; things like tech trends among college students are far more accurate.
That walled garden still appears to have major holes in its fences, as shown by the Facebook SDK having infected every single mainstream app for the sole purpose of stalking the user in the background (over time Facebook can correlate the traffic by date/time, IP address, device type, etc and link different instances of the SDK together).

> Isn't it interesting how if we go deep enough in root cause analysis the answer always seems to be education?

Why do you think education is the solution to this problem? Education by whom? Trying to answer that question just creates the same problem we have now. (In fact, if you look at how public education works, and what the explicitly stated objectives were of the people who created that system, education is the same problem we have now. The media is just another branch of the education system.)

The problem with the GDPR is the lack of enforcement which allows criminal companies to get away with bullshit like this. With the potential of huge fines (and the fact that the cases seem very straightforward and there's plenty of strong evidence of a breach) I think the only explanation for this blatant lack of enforcement is that the same people who are supposed to enforce the law are in bed with those that break this same law.

I grew up around a lot of people who were regular smokers from an early age, say 15. (and by regular I mean "can't sleep without pot"), and their cognitive abilities definitely suffered from smoking, and they freely admit it, and I think it's very obvious if you're around people who smoke a lot.

You simply can't concentrate when you're high the same way you can when you don't smoke. Reading is more difficult, exercise is more difficult, that's just the literal effects of weed.

If you're high all the time you're not going to perform the way you can when you're sober, and this is just my anecdotal observation, with people who started smoking young it becomes a sort of personality trait. You just become less sharp, less active, and when there's habit less interested in doing things not-high. Studies aside, that just can't be helpful.

To me this seems like a clear loss. The syntax is (as far as I can tell) strictly more verbose than the existing assignment syntax. Ruby is already plagued by a million-and-one ways to do everything, but at least in other cases simplicity (à la zen of Python) trades off for brevity.
