What a bizarre post! Seems really strange to me to see such a 'toys out of the pram' reaction piece like that from an organisation as big and corporate as AWS.

That it feels the need to respond like that makes me see it in worse light over the matter rather than better.
> But AMD and Nvidia are treating the low end GPU market as some sort of a backwater

Are they though? The GPU embedded in my ryzen 4900 seems to be just as good, if not better than this xe. The desktop version I would expect to show even better.
You are the one deflecting. My point stands on it own. You've contributed nothing. You derive personal satisfaction through hypocrisy. There certainly is hate-speech in the world... for instance, I despise hypocrites... but we both understand what I mean.

Making billions of dollars WHILE hosting videos is not the same as making billions of dollars BY hosting videos. YouTube operated at a massive loss for a decade.

I'm sorry billionaires are making it more difficult for you to profit through the marginalization of humans who are different than you. Good luck in the future!
Apparently, SSRIs work really well for some people. I know a person who is night and day difference on them. She was crying a lot and sluggish without them, down right jolly with them.

As far as the default mode network, I've seen research that claims hyperactivity of the DMN causes rumination, which puts you in a downward spiral. So perhaps a bit of inhibition is good.

I think many people have a negative gut response to genetic modification, especially because DNA/RNA as a code has multiple overlaid meanings besides protein sequences. So there could be unintended consequences.

Personally, I’d most question the potential effect on the food chain—what if birds, for example, started developing allergies or other autoimmune issues because of this or other new/modified proteins in resulting male mosquitoes that their immune systems don’t recognize?
Tangentially related: "The Screwfly Solution" by Raccoona Sheldon is a fantastic (but pretty dark) short story.
You might need to look around more. The wikipedia article shows 'c' on the middle finger, like I was taught. I can't imagine doing it with the first finger, but I suppose it just depends on how you were taught.

Looking around, I can't even FIND a "c on first finger" fingering.

As someone with experience with both therapy and psilocybin (while severely depressed), I would guess the psilocybin is the main ingredient in this concoction, and the therapy is just being added to make the study more palatable, the same way medical cannabis use had to precede recreational cannabis use.
And if there is no (reliable) vaccine?
Some experiences are not fit for words, so I won’t attempt to share my experience. I do not recommend you take an unguided, illegal street dose of psilocybin. Guided, therapeutic delivery is surely more effective. Still, I believe the affects were profound, terrifying, enlightening and Most importantly lasting, 15 years in my case. I think the studies do a better job justifying the science of efficacy.

Instead I will say those that struggle, first get your sleep, diet, work and community/relationships in order. Wellness is comprehensive and this tool is better viewed as a spirit guide than a magical cure.
Note that depression is a highly variable disorder, and not every depressed person is in any kind of "vicious self-destructive circle".
You'd probably faint if you heard a tenth of the stupid shit people do after drinking alcohol. And yes, it includes people jumping off buildings.
One could have theoretically written a similar article before the availability of porn, about porn.

But porn today is freely available.

And yet, most people still date and form families.

And those males who cannot ,might be less violent, but they are not happy. Because humans need love - and it's hard to see a robot offering that.

So I suspect sex robots won't offer a big change over porn. Maybe a gradual continuation of current trends.

To add on to this, it would be cool if someone could point to resources that one has to pay for but are generally high in quality/or more relevant to todays practices. Regardless of cost and something that is outside of traditional university courses.

BradfieldCS is cool, I wonder what other stuff is out there in sub fields like ML/DL, Reverse Engineering, Web Dev etc
More recently Intel's GPUs have started to require proprietary firmware, which they did not need before, although probably it was embedded in the GPU before.
I stayed with workflowy for long time but found that it stopped bringing in anything new at all. The community around it is writing blogs and articles about how to do this and that with workflowy. While all they do is provide how they made their own workflow to tackle a problem in a very limited environment. It like someone inventing markdown formatting for writing using Notepad more efficiently.

I moved to Dynalist and the thing I use most is its API. I have setup a custom chrome extension to save notes
and bookmarks to it with just one click. Also set it up to send links to it from my phone. Set it up with Github Actions to keep updated 'List of X' articles on my blog.

It does what workflowy does and more. I stayed with workflowy for a long time and wasn't very happy to move over but workflowy has stopped growing.

You need to take something from Dynalist just as they did from Workflowy.
it's currently decriminalized in Oakland and probably other cities.

there are grow kits you can buy to ensure you're getting the real deal. shroomery.org probably can help you out

I think the therapy portion of this is crucial. I've heard stories of "underground" psilocybin therapists, but finding them would take some sleuthing.
> One is that it encourages the writer to focus upon the logical structure of documents, rather than the formatting. This is useful when preparing an articles or books for publication (when the publisher supports or accepts LaTeX)

This is the theory, but almost never been my experience. When I wrote for journals, and for my thesis, it was never the case where I could just use their style files and put in the content and the formatting would work out. Not even close. I always had to fiddle with formatting to get it to be good enough for the journal.
> clinical depression which could easily stem from long-term, chronic situational depression, life circumstances, etc.

It could as easily not stem from it.
It was out there -- there were dead bedrooms in Dear Abby, divorce statistics in the Reader's Digest, differing male and female sex drive in the psychology textbooks. Commitment always looked like a lousy bet.
How power efficient would this be? Will it become a setback towards the goal of carbon neutrality if widely used?
I think you can read it much more charitably.

Rather than assuming it implies "men are dumb, like dogs" or "men are like dogs, and dumb", you could instead read it as "men can get aroused so easily. Human arousal is dumb".

I take no offense at the idea that the monkey-brain arousal mechanisms of men and women is "dumb", in the sense of simplistic. Logically, we know a picture is not a valid mating target, but still we can get aroused.

Yes, if you read it as calling men dumb, it's a little sexist. But if you read it as a commentary on human arousal, well, that's not a thinking feeling target, so you can be no more sexist against it than against a rock.
Yeah, cause and effect might be reversed in parts of this story.
I get this when I visit the OP link:

Yeah AMD drivers on linux are not very good. I fell for the nvidia hate because of its propritory drivers so upgraded with an AMD Ryzen Apu instead of just getting a new nvidia graphics card. It's not even a recent APU it's almost 1+ years old. Now I am still using the my nvidia card as the Ryzen Apu can't output 4k and need to upgrade my graphics card anyway.

I work on the Semantic Scholar team at the Allen Institute for AI (allenai.org). We're working on solving the problems described in the post.

We're investing considerable effort into making it easier for researchers to find and consume scientific literature. Our team is made up of engineers and researchers who have felt the pain points firsthand and are very motivated to design and build solutions that fix them. Our software is free to use, and always will be.

Our search engine uses things like citation intent, citation influence, and figure and table extraction to make filtering through papers easier. We’re also currently prototyping an augmented reading experience that aims to embed contextual information directly into the reading experience so that it's easier to consume and comprehend academic literature. Give it a try: semanticscholar.org.

Agree. It used to be fun to visit Seattle Pike's Place Market and take in the ambience of the nearby waters, fresh seafood, coffee, and other baked goods. Now on any average day you can't walk a few hundred feet without the overwhelming stench of a frat-house weed den.
Yes. People in the thread suggest it should be "cheap" and "available at Walgreens".
Sometimes I think about what would happen if some technology like the Star Trek holodeck or Red Dwarf's better than life game actually existed; specifically when it comes to mating and relationship.

Similar to what this article is talking about, what happens if you can program your perfect partner, with enough AI for it to be a pretty realistic representation of a real human. Seems like it'll remove a lot of the underlying motivation for many things we do today.
I can absolutely guarantee that when I was severely depressed, an all expenses paid weeklong camping trip would have:

- Not been enjoyable, as I was much less capable of feeling pleasure/joy

- Been way to difficult for me to accomplish, given that getting out of bed and showering was often too difficult for me to accomplish

- Would have had a negative effect on my depression
Yes it's absolutely a poor example, that's why I wrote this:

> A blockchain isn't the only solution available, and it doesn't require a public blockchain.

You are right that Blockchain does nothing to ensure that the data is truthful. Neither does a centralized database.
Not if you want your UI to look the same across platforms, but still look like it "fits" in wherever. One is free to use SF symbols specifically on Apple devices if they want, or if they want it to look the same on Android, Apple devices, web, etc. they can use these icons (or some other icon library).

There's room for both "stock" icons and alternatives.
I feel like the smart thing to do instead of wasting money on bribes is to invest in the new markets before they're legal.

The booze companies are already cozy with state regulators and have the logistics to get everything off the ground post legalization. Some even have age restricted venues (taprooms, pubs, etc) where they can sell directly to consumers and reduce concerns or risks with zoning.

It’s not a wild leap if you’ve followed the history. Cannabis prohibition is directly tied to post-Civil War criminalization of Black lives/activities/culture. The word “marijuana” is a racialization of the drug to associate it with Latinos. Using prohibition to increase law enforcement scrutiny, imprisonment and the war on drugs has been consistently part of how the US has maintained two power dynamics that have significantly eroded by popular shifts in public opinion.
> is it unreasonable for me to think there's no good medicinal depression cure

There can be, but only for some people and not others. I've seen esketamine make a night & day difference. Sadly, it has horrible side-effects as well, as in someone nearly died from that and had to discontinue the trial.

There's some hope that a particular metabolite of ketamine that works on AMPA may offer relief without the side-effects, but I haven't seen it actually in a medical trial yet and even if it was, I don't know if our doctor would go for it or not, though it allegedly does avoid the psychosis.
My father's hometown, in the United States, had a total of five German language daily newspapers when he was a boy. This was a bit after C.W. Post died, but I expect that either it was German influence or at the time both Americans and Germans (and German-Americans) referred to dextrose as grape sugar and that usage just faded among the English speaking populations.

HN of course is a wonderful place. But there is a stigma on this everywhere. I would much rather seek the support of real world friends than face the judgement of internet denizens.
How about giving an API like Dynalist?
Cannabis is pretty heavily lobbied. I've never seen any labels indicating it can cause manic episodes on any packages. I just don't want to see that happen with anything else. We should inform people of potential side effects.
> the entire original goal of LLVM was only to build a JIT

That's not exactly true from what I recall of speaking with Vikram and Chris. The idea was to build a compiler framework that could support profile-guided optimization (and other then-advanced JIT techniques) for idle-time or install-time optimization of C/C++ codes. Chris's original thesis doesn't even mention JIT compilers, except as comparison point for techniques, and instead focuses on things like link-time optimization. (Indeed, Chris offered LLVM to replace gcc's then-broken LTO infrastructure, but this was turned down.)
The build scripts and the JS files in the project that interact with FFmpeg and give it a JS API are licensed under the MIT license, but FFmpeg itself is still LGPL.

Unknown implications of the hybrid vigor and inadequate monitoring is still going on. We frankly do not know. We need to ask certain British companies working with the local governments in places where they tested OX513A. The last study implicates a 3% survival rate. At first the females discriminated against males with OX513A but the population quickly rebounded with a third hybrid that appears to be more "vigor" as the study indicated. Implications of this new hybrid is unknown.
so it's unwise to have kids at least financially.

unless you're not able to afford it, in this case the government will step in with food stamps free lunch etc. the public raise your kids instead.

the system punishes those who work hard and follow rules, and awards those who breaks them, it's called equity, social justice, etc.
> Aggressive pain management led to opioid epidemic

This isn't what I got from staying informed on that epidemic, so I'm curious where you got this from. My impression is the Sacklers lied intensely about Oxycontin, and those lies are what did most of the harm.
This seems like an interesting direction - considering the success with the Tesla big battery in South Australia which was 150 MW and this is meant to be 300. Hopefully should be able to reduce reliance on coal plants.

Counterpoint https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedown_(drugs)

Drugs only 'feel good' for that purpose in the few hours after they are consumed. If people's psychological state is influenced (either way) several weeks after the experience, then something else is at work.

Here's the study:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-49660-6

This study is interesting. It relates to the company and what happened to the mosquitoes when they tested it in Brazil, Cayman Islands and Malaysia.

TLDR: Mosquito population became suppressed at first but rebounded to pre-release levels and some carried the genetics of the GM mosquitoes (3% survival rate and can reproduce), unknown implications of hybrid vigor.

"However, it is clear from the data in Garziera et al.6 that the effectiveness of the release program began to break down after about 18 months, i.e., the population which had been greatly suppressed rebounded to nearly pre-release levels. This has been speculated to have been due to mating discrimination against OX513A males, a phenomenon known to occur in sterile male release programs

The release strain, OX513A, was derived from a laboratory strain originally from Cuba, then outcrossed to a Mexican population7. The three populations forming the tri-hybrid population now in Jacobina (Cuba/Mexico/Brazil) are genetically quite distinct (Extended Data Fig. E2), very likely resulting in a more robust population than the pre-release population due to hybrid vigor.

These results demonstrate the importance of having in place a genetic monitoring program during releases of transgenic organisms to detect un-anticipated consequences."

Middle school isn't the octagon. Granted knowing how to throw a punch or kick with decent technique helps, but what's really important is having the attitude of being willing to inflict harm on another human being. And it sounds like that was what limited GP's courses of action. Also of course GP could have been skipped grades or otherwise been much punier than the other students, in which case the amount of training one could get by that age would likely be irrelevant anyhow. In that case the correct strategy is to make friends. Middle school really is a remarkable distillation of human tribal behaviors.
Watching videos for entertainment instead of working on solutions to global warming and/or new metamaterials that are created from carbon neutral sources such as biodiesel (with the use of your computer) is a setback towards the goal of carbon neutrality.

I wouldn't say it was a bug in GitHub's application that allowed someone to impersonate Nat, it's just that the author of the commit (which can be changed easily/set manually in git) matched his name/email.

How many people can actually push to that repo? I wonder if it would be easy to figure out who actually did it...
I believe many who have taken psilocybin for medical reasons would agree: they would never take it again. I did not find it not habit forming. (edited to make clear my opinion and not facts)

> Vectorized icons on the other hand take up much less memory and can auto-scale to different displays and use-cases.

In the absence of grid-fitting and hinting, monochrome vector icons are just as mediocre at scaling to arbitrary sizes as colored vector icons. However, I think one "advantage" is that fuzzy monochrome borders look less bad than fuzzy outlined borders.

TTF bytecode supports grid-fitting and hinting (I believe SVG doesn't support it), and it would be interesting to see that applied to rescalable icons. However, you'd have to turn off subpixel antialiasing.
Religion is based on two words re again and lig connect or connect again. You have to keep a connection to a higher power. Not everyone is receptive to this higher power and cannot feel the connection. It is hard to explain, but it cannot be proven in science and math.
