Don't you feel it makes you a bit more stupid? For me, as soon as it becomes a daily habit for more then 2 weeks, the negative sides start to outweigh the benefits. It really does mess with short term memory, they say an average person can remember 9 things at once, and I'm pretty sure weed drastically reduces that. To the point where people in conversations will actually notice you can't remember well what you just talked about 5 minutes ago and might think you're a bit stupid. For coding it makes monotonous tasks more bearable, but I often lose context when tackling more complicated problems.

I mean I still love weed, but everyday / all day just isn't that great. All good things in moderation.
IDk if "serious" is a good bar, but I feel the opposite is true.

First, there are a lot more books than films... and some deal in very interesting ideas. Second, I feel like we're in a new golden age of sci-fi right now. 1950s part 2. Even in the blockbuster film/tv category, there are lot more interesting & creative ideas happening. I thought "her" was very innovative, both in film making and in ideas explored.

Westworld did do a good job of building up fictional theory of conscious machines machines.
That’s a very good point, and shows one of the limits of my line of thought. Though I don’t think it makes it entirely useless.

Using your example, pro-Trump vs anti-Trump… one would have to wait until Trump is gone as POTUS and see how each news org treats the new POTUS. Maybe this analysis would only work over long periods of time.

The other aspect of all of this that you made me think about is that bias is not necessarily bad.

I am biased towards democracy, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Also, bias against something which is objectively "bad" is not a bad thing.

edit: Maybe the solution here is to embrace bias, and state your biases openly.

It's relevant to HP and their shareholders, and it's relevant because there is an ongoing civil case in the UK, which makes this situation on criminal charges in the US more interesting and unusual, and finally it's foundational to Mike Lynch's argument with HP[0].

It's entirely possible that we might see different outcomes in these cases. Maybe a difference in outcome between civil and criminal cases is a more common occurrence than I'm aware of (certainly O. J. Simpson springs to mind), but it seems unusual to me, and especially across international boundaries.

It is a case of drawing something to a large extension in order to demonstrate a point. This is a rhetorical device and people shouldn't read the number 100 as literal.

We could go so far as to say that focusing on the number 100 is not seeing the forest for the trees. Even though there isn't a literal trees or forest, and there is no need to create a study to find the trees or the forest.
It's a psychological condition afflicting someone, not that they're actually an imposter.

Imagine a lawyer who is terrified to go to work every day. She went to a good law school, got good grades, passed the bar exam, is well-respected in her field, etc. But she is terrified that her colleagues will, one of these days, find out that she's not even truly a lawyer at all -- she's just someone who managed to jump through enough hoops to convince people that she's a real lawyer. Once the people around her learn who she really is, hoo boy... she's going to lose her law license and her reputation and her clients and her house... she lives in fear of being "found out" every single day and it's beginning to affect both her career and her health.

Is this lawyer an imposter? No, she's truly the lawyer everyone thinks she is, and it would be inaccurate to call her an imposter. But she is suffering from imposter syndrome.
I think the evidence of the amount of replies arguing against my comment above goes to show the amount of people that still think weed smoke vs tobacco smoke is still a legitimate argument against "weed smoke is bad for your lungs." It's really funny to see these universally come out of the woodwork every single time this gets brought up.

You say that like it's a bad idea.

Services like Akamai use short TTLs for their edge services for a variety of reasons, not least because if one of their edge servers goes offline (for planned or unplanned reasons) it lets them sub in a new one and have it receive traffic immediately, rather than have a bunch of clients continue trying to talk to a dead node. So sure, you can increase those TTLs to trade 'what if the DNS server goes down?' risk with 'what if the edge server goes down?' risk...

But keeping the edge servers up and running is probably a lot harder - they need to scale more to handle traffic load, they have to actually handle client data, TLS termination, much more complex configuration.... so if I'm placing bets on which of those things is more likely to die on me, it's the edge node, not the DNS server.
I suffer from severe restless legs, largely treatment resistant unless I acquiesce to opioids. MJ is the only substance that provides me relief during the worst times - and it takes a LOT to get the effect. Weighing the risks, I am firmly on the side of MJ - at least my 'rescue drug'.

Additionally, I'm not sure how great it will be for air quality if we have thousands and thousands of satellites burning up in the atmosphere over the next few decades. I certainly don't want to be breathing in vaporized satellite ash. Your point about 5G is well made.
> Personally I can't smoke it anymore, I get super anxious now and nervous

I've heard so many people say the same thing, that they used to enjoy using cannabis, then some years later they find it induces anxiety, jitters and nervousness - I wonder what the mechanism behind this anxiety is?

Is it as simple as "modern" cannabis strains having much THC than older ones, or is it something else, possibly age-related, like thyroid hormones?

As an amateur painter and professional coder, I must say art and design are key to even my statistical analysis. The issue is the human reader of your product. You want to make their experience easy and pleasant, even if it's reading numerical analyses. Thus, I take very boring looking data and turn it into something that's possible to engage with easily. That's composition, design, detail oriented execution, many crossovers between various creative fields.
> It's NOT primarily or even remotely Global Warming however. California has a fundamentally dry climate the intrinsically assures wild fires will occur.

Global warming is an amplifier for wildfire risk, not a cause. The increasing length of the dry season under the influence of global warming has made these sorts of fires that much more likely.

XLA is the limiting factor in a lot of these cases, though maybe saying limiting factor is wrong because it's more of a "trade-off factor". XLA wants to know the static size of a lot of arguments so it can build a mathematical description of the compute graph and fuse linear algebra commands freely. What the Julia libraries like Zygote do is say "there is no good mathematical description of this, so I will generate source code instead" (and some programs like Tapenade are similar). For example, while loops are translated into for loops where a stack of the Boolean choices are stored so they can be ran in reverse during the backpass. The Julia libraries can sometimes have more trouble automatically fusing linear algebra commands though, since then they need to say "my IR lets non-static things occur, so therefore I need to prove it's static before doing transformation X". It's much easier to know you can do such transformations if anything written in the IR obeys the rules required for the transform! So it's a trade-off. In the search for allowing differentiation of any program in the language, the Julia AD tools have gone for extreme flexibility (and can rely on the fact that Julia has a compiler that can JIT compile any generated valid Julia code) and I find it really interesting to try and elucidate what you actually gain from that.
The chance is not slim. It's a chance of 0.6-1%. That's worse than many wars.

So if the government is torturing people on UK soil for "national security reasons" and a Russian state sponsored journalist leaks it, they should or shouldn't be protected in your world view?
I'm not a psychologist, but I think narcissism and self-importance simply stem from a small world view.

If your main hobby/recreational activity in life is smoking weed (certainly not judging anyone) then you'll likely only associate with people who enjoy the same things, if anyone at all.

This leads to a very narrow world-view where you're the center of that world. Going out and meeting people, doing different activities, taking on new jobs and roles, going to school and getting an education all really help to humble people and make people realize that most of us are all very similar in our pursuit of happiness.

I think one of the reasons behind this proposed change is keeping up with changes in what it means to be a journalist.

In the UK, public interest has never been a defence. And given the increasing role that nation states are having in leaking stuff to journalists (even political parties, Labour used documents that were leaked by Russia at their conference in 2019 iirc...ofc, they were totally misleading, which was the point), it is reasonable to ask where the line with espionage actually is.

Yes, page fault exceptions happen within the CPU, they cannot happen in software. I think of it as C is close to assembly and does not check every memory address is referencing. It just compiles and CPU starts running it. If somehow a memory of 0 is dereferenced, it is already run by the CPU in its fetch/decode cycle. but of course once the excetion happens, Kernel is responsible for killing the actual process. So both CPU and kernel do it together.
I thought habits might be an interesting market to work in + using a chatbot as a novel approach but alas my approach did not pan out.
What you just described is an example of imposter syndrome (at least the way I think of it). The comment I was responding to was not.

If the lawyer feels like an imposter in her current role, that's different from feeling like an imposter in a role you don't even have. This is the distinction I'm making, and why I think the label doesn't fit. Should I feel like I have imposter syndrome because I'd be uncomfortable as a professional athlete, something I don't do? Or should I just realize I don't have confidence to do something else? To me those are very different. Recognizing I can't do everything isn't a form of imposter syndrome - if it is it makes the label completely meaningless.

I'm aware it's a psychological condition. We're arguing over something we haven't even defined yet though, so how would you define it?

Can you please point to where I'm lying?

NY Times has been running a series of articles blaming every fire and extreme weather event on climate change. This does two things:

1. Convinces liberals of the coming apocalypse of climate change, since it aligns with their views.

2. Convinces conservatives that the climate change folks are lying, since there are several logical steps missing, and it doesn't align with their views.

I'm sure some of those events are related to climate change. I'm sure some aren't. I don't think we really know which is which.

The problem with using (transparently) bad logic to get to a correct conclusion is that people no longer trust you.

If you look at conservative media, they point to (now obviously wrong) predictions from the eighties, where citations and reporting would go to the most extreme predictions.

It's really hard to convince someone of something after they've been lied to multiple times.
Yea, this is a very bizarre framing. I understand that researchers hypothesize that a Marijuana-driven causal link is possible, but theres a well-established, strong causal effect in the other direction that first needs to be controlled for. In that light, the statistic is framed very dishonestly in the article.

(Though perhaps dishonesty isn't the correct word to use here: I don't have a high prior on the journalist even understanding this complaint)

Nothing here explains how consciousness arises out of particular arrangement of atoms in the human brain. Many convoluted explanations can be done away with if we consider that consciousness arises outside the brain and the brain is a tuned receiver. Perhaps this field of consciousness exists but we haven't developed a way to detect, test or measure it.

My comment's context was the response to AussieWog93 original comment. I think his point is that unqualified tampering with the internals probably should void the warranty. A user is qualified to clean the cooler, and do other basic maintenance.

I used to work for a company which provided a service to state governments which was funded by a federal program. Long story short there are a lot of crazy top-down requirements ranging from integrating with a preferred vendor, which was barely a start-up amid a market of well established (better) alternatives, to the coupe-de-grace which read, "unhindered access to all production data". This service seems particularly useful to companies struggling to cope with government requirements of that nature, particularly GDPR.
Maybe not cause directly , but seems to trigger something that was laying dormant.
From the smokers I know or knew , it becomes a very addictive habit, where they drift off the norm while stoned or worse, while not stoned.

They're not as annoying as coke heads or tweakers, these are more extrovert and kinda obvious, while smokers are often more silent, God knows what's going on in them.

I wouldn't associate it to weed until it's 100percent proven, to understand the human mind will take a lot more time.
Printing is something I started to do some months ago. Instead of keeping the tab open for weeks, I decided I'd print anything I want to read and place it a physical "inbox".

Some tips: I print 2 pages to a side, so 4 pages per printer paper. Even long articles don't use too much paper, and for my eyes it's still readable (there are a few articles where I need to enlarge first). I print using either Firefox's "Simplify Page" feature or its "Readability" feature. This removes almost all the noise: No ads, no menus, etc. It's just the article and relevant images. Similar to reading a physical newspaper.

It's been a game changer. I can now read wherever I want. Going to the mechanic? I just take some of these printed articles with me. I find myself taking notes on the paper - something I would not do well on the computer screen. My eyes get a lot less strain. Once you get used to this, there's no going back. Now when I see an article through a web browser, it's just ugly. Too many distractions. Even the menus are annoying. I didn't realize I'd been putting up with filth for so long.

I initially worried that my inbox would get full and I'd have the same mental angst, and my plan was that if it happens, I'll take a random bunch and throw it in the recycle bin. But it never came to that - I still manage to read everything I print. Somehow, the physical inbox weighs less on my mind than the virtual one. I don't feel I need to deal with this inbox. It's OK if it just sits there collecting dust.

> This is true, but also many cars, especially in the electric space, are extremely reliable apart from battery degradation and UV damage.

This is going to end soon, as EVs gain more traction.

The end goal of value engineering in businesses under competitive pressure is to create a product that's as cheap to make as possible - meaning products evolve to be the worst possible garbage that still clears the "fit to function" bar. EVs don't break much because they're a new class of technologies. Companies will continue to "optimize" them by removing the amount and quality of materials going into their cars, until they start to break just as much as regular cars.
The only thing I can reasonably conclude from this study is that more schizophrenics are using marijuana because marijuana is more available than it used to be. I see no evidence of an increase in the absolute number of schizophrenics relative to the availability of cannabis. Who funded this, the DEA?
Can anyone with some real experience with this comment on the debug visibility? In gdb or lldb or otherwise? How easy is it to see what is going on, partially expand macros, get at intermediate values, or evaluate things at the debug prompt?

Generally the federal prisons are better than state ones. They still have solitary though so there are definitely major issues.
Sort of, yes. Fivetran has a product called Powered by Fivetran which is an API on top of Fivetran that lets users connect their apps and push to a warehouse managed by you. For example, you could ask users to connect their Salesforce via Fivetran and the data would end up in a BigQuery dataset you own.

Although Powered by Fivetran could be used for the use case we're building towards, it only solves the "getting data out of Salesforce/Quickbooks/etc" part of the problem. Often the harder part is actually extracting the relevant data and working with it after getting it from an API.
That’s helpful to know about the minimal alteration to my existing panel, the costs of upgrading even just that can be significant.

We also have a lot of electrical appliances and I wonder if my situation might be similar in regards to whether a battery or two would make sense financially. However, one of my goals is to have more of a backup situation in case of power outages on the grid so I may be willing to pay more for this capacity.
You seem to be misunderstanding what imposter syndrome is. The entire point is that you aren't an imposter but you feel like one.

Its used to refer to people that are actually competent at what they do but they feel like they have faked everything and that the entire world is about to find out. A lack of self confidence is a core part of imposter syndrome.
Realistically it was my teens and early twenties that made banal horse shit ideas profound. There's something to be said for age.
