Hmm, I'm not so sure that Tkinter example really solves the problem of performing background work without blocking the UI. Sure, the UI thread doesn't block, but instead the UI state (as the user continues interacting with it) can drift out of sync with the model when the controller thread is busy with other work.

The real issue in that example seems to be that the event loop needs to wait for both UI events and read/write readyness on the serial port. This could probably be handled either with createfilehandler[1] (although it doesn't work on Windows) or by dedicating a thread to handling the serial port and posting messages to the Tkinter event loop as suggested at the end.

It's a real shame, that USB-Hub manufacturers do not in general implement the Per-Port-Power-Control part of the spec. That would be so useful to controlling 5V/12V powered devices. With QC3.0 to barrel-jack-12V adapters a USB-HUB with PPPC(and QC3) would be a godsend.

In terms of volume, 10^8 IPv6 addresses per mm^3 throughout the Earth.

> is it really more profound than what the other drugs do?

I suspect the drug itself is only part of the equation. A common theme among these newsworthy success stories is that the people had extremely high expectations going into their experiences. They weren't just seeking a recreational experience. They were convinced that this was the cure for all of their problems after reading a lot of glowing reports.

Some of them even paid thousands of dollars, traveled long distances, and participated in elaborate ceremonies with strong religious overtones:

> In February 2020, Whalen spent $3,000 to attend a seven-day ayahuasca retreat at the Soltara Healing Center in Costa Rica. On four of the seven nights, she participated in ayahuasca ceremonies with 16 other participants and two shamans.

> As each drank the brew, Whalen said, the healers sang icaros, or healing songs, meant to pull them deeper into the medicine.

> The woman pressed her lips against Whalen's head and inhaled deeply. "And just like that, I stopped crying ... and I knew it was over," Whalen said. "I could think of the people who hurt me; I could think of those times, all of the mistakes that I've made, and there was no longer that surge of shame and pain.

It seems the psychedelics may not be directly exerting an anti-depressant effect, but they may be pushing the right buttons in the brain to open the door for pseudo-profound experiences. Surround the psychedelic with enough high expectations and rituals and maybe it can help convince people that something amazing has happened.

But FWIW, I think most psychedelic experiences don't live up to the hyperbole in these articles or Michael Pollan books. I have a few friends who tried the Ayahuasca retreat thing. They said a lot of the people there were repeat customers back for their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th experience, hoping that maybe this time would be the magical time where they received the amazing benefits they had been primed to expect.

Given that ARM-chips have 128-bit NEON + AES-encryption at the core/chip level, you probably can push that bandwidth in a VPN-application without ever touching RAM.

Imagine a 1x100G WAN with encrypted traffic being routed to each of the 10g links based off of a simple application-specific decision. You can probably route that sort of thing without ever consulting main RAM at all.

Yeah, I'm liking this thing as a server-chip, but not so much a workstation. I think there's a lot of applications where a low-energy use CPU hanging off of high-speed fiber connections could be useful.

But I'm not entirely sure of any application that would benefit from the 16 cores, strangely enough.
People have sought to change alter their consciousness through psychoactive substances for millenia, so I don't think the world we currently live in has too much to do with it.
+1 to everyone talking about the importance of integration after a psychedelic experience. Talking with someone else can help distill the important insights from the trip and separate wheat from chaff. Once you have that as a base, you can start to think about and plan longer term larger changes to your life, in whatever direction you want to change.

If you're ever need someone to talk to either during a trip or afterwards for integration, please check out Fireside Project[0] at 62-FIRESIDE. I'm a volunteer on the line there, it's a great group of people building culture and support to help everyone interested in self-transformation using these powerful tools.

This looks like an interesting competition, aimed at predicting the connections between future research papers. The dataset is only about 37MB, so barriers to participation should be (relatively) low.

The biggest difficulty IMO is that the dataset isn't actually representative of the stated task, which is "[T]he prediction of which scientific pairs of concepts will be investigated by scientists over three years."

Rather, the dataset excludes all the dead ends, the things that were thought to be worth investigating, but didn't pan out with results worth writing up for publication.

So, in reality, the problem is a lot harder: predicting the pairs of concepts that are going to yield results worth writing up (admittedly not a super high bar, but the selection bias still skews the data).
Thanks for the feedback. I had good rapport with the people I've spoke to thus far, so I'm hoping this is the case.

I've got a friend who is in industrial maintenance. I just can't understand how they put up with the working conditions. 12 hour shifts working around furnaces and covered in grease all day, forced overtime on a regular basis. This guy works harder than I ever have and makes a fraction of the income that I do. He has been injured multiple times at jobs. He's in his early 30's and has a more difficult time walking than many senior citizens due to a back injury. To your point he's still better off than many folks in similar situations in less developed nations. There's a lot of detail left out of the "work hard" narrative.
Usually its not easy to tell. There are often less ports and other obvious features, but who knows whats inside. I dont think anyone has ever done a component level breakdown like they do for storage.

>These derivative models are toned down versions of standard ones, perhaps offering a reduced number of HDMI ports or lower quality components. However, it's hard to say -- it can even be hard to tell which specific TVs are derivatives, requiring a careful scan of a model number which could total eight or nine digits.

But where?
I have tried both everything from your list and Ayahuasca (multiple sessions in a jungle retreat in Peru). From my experience nothing comes close to LSD. Ayahuasca is definitely an intense experience - both physically and mentally - but the “effect” did not last much longer compared to other substances.

> so I think the real question is whether it was copyrightable.

Whether a particular thing is copyrightable or not is a question of law and fact. The government will accept your $25 for a copyright registration on anything you submit, but they don’t check if it’s copyrightable or not, if you own it or not, etc. So, no one knows for sure whether that one minute of silence is copyrightable or not until someone challenges it in court. Until then, all we can say is probably not, based on prior cases.

> but then suggests we accepted Taliban surrender.

Was that even offered? I'd suggest that using soft power instead of a full-scale military invasion would be wiser. Afghanistan was never really a single country and treating it as such is a huge mistake. The groups within it have been warring each other for centuries and it was very arrogant to think you can win a war against an enemy to whom you represent an existential threat and who knows the place and have been practicing defending it for centuries.

As for 9/11 itself, making Al Qaeda and OBL the enemy was a mistake. By giving it a name and a face, you acknowledge and empower it. The enemy was and continues to be extremism and it needs to be fought at home and abroad, but attacking it with force only makes it stronger.
Less inputs (like only 1 HDMI port), lower resolutions, low spec cpu (lagfest smart TV), etc. So inferior version of the same superior products.

No, but low-end ones do. cf Domino's Surprise Frees (https://surprisefrees.dominos.com/) program.
If you believe the military on this, and I’m not saying you necessarily should, none of the war games paint a good picture for our success in Taiwan. There are many reasons for that - response time being a big one. China could physically occupy the territory rapidly before we could show up to present a serious defense. Then you’re not repelling them from the island but rooting them out. Next to their logistical home base. With significant trade interruption. It’s not a sparsely populated Falkland Island scenario.

So given that the military says it would suck, I’m would not agree that it’s at best debatable. A good outcome is doubtful to start with based on war game exercises to test out this specific subject. It’s an upward fight to get it into “debatable” territory, though I’d be interested in hearing more about your reasoning.
I very much sympathize with Taiwan and have known some wonderful Taiwanese people in my life who will suffer greatly if there is a war. I just don't think America should get into a hot war with China over the island. We didn't for Tibet, Macau, Hong Kong, etc. The reason the hawks care more about Taiwan rather than Tibet is because of semiconductor manufacturing.

I also think we should host a sovereign election and ask the Taiwanese people what they think we should do.
A few reasons which hop to mind:

1. we just finished a 20 year war with nothing to show for it. Jumping into a new war is probably worth some cost/benefit analysis beyond "well, why not?"

2. correct if wrong, but I assume the projection of power backing your usage of "we" actually means "policed by others, who are not me"

The market sets prices by charging as much as possible and since housing is indispensable rather than an optional commodity.

I'm not expressing any position here but it should be noted that the strait between Taiwan and China's mainland is not that wide and any navy would be hard pressed to defend itself against land based anti-ship missiles. It's just very asymmetrical.

I think a lot of people that have never used VR have a preconception that VR is necessarily about being photo-realistic enough to trick people, but VR is exciting enough just for giving you a first-person perspective and bodily control within a 3d space. There is plenty of VR content that looks photo-realistic enough to be real, but many of my favorite VR experiences are in places that are clearly polygonal. It doesn't take photo-realistic models to get engrossed into talking with people. Body language shines through most avatars well; in VR your brain easily intuits how the motions of an avatar you see are linked to the motions of a human. (There are a couple people in the video whose avatars are very rigid without the arms ever moving or their heads ever tilting, but those people are the ones not in VR and instead just using the desktop version of VRChat.) VRChat is all user-made content and the draw is definitely in seeing how people express themselves and the extremely wide range of content rather than being about photo-realism or experiencing a single creative vision.
There is actually great strategic interest in Taiwan.
China is mostly contained by seas that are surrounded by island groups, which means that almost all its military and external trade passes close by potential hostile islands.

With Taiwan part of China, it has direct access to the pacific ocean and a naval blockade will be much less effective.

Most of Chinese GDP relies on external trade and a naval blockade would cut it off from vital resources to be able to conduct war against western targets.
> MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase, Spanner; there has literally never been a better time to be a database user at any level of complexity or scale. But there’s still one common thread (ha!) among them – the focus is on infrastructure, not developer experience.

It was my impression that everyone picked (and still picks) MySQL, MongoDB, and Firebase _because_ they were the easiest to use. It seemed like developer experience was by far the most important thing to them (compared to sane behavior initially in the case of Mongo and MySQL, some of which has since evolved).
Ok, fair enough. A lot of civil planning uses really long tail distributions for temp and so on, so I still wonder when stuff is schedulable.

As a hiring manager, it wouldn't bother me if you told me that you aren't quite ready to interview just yet and that you would reach back out in a month or two. I would say OK, no problem.

The big risk is that the position might not be open in a month or two. That said, fast-growing startups and large startups often have evergreen positions, so that might be a small risk rather than a big one.

My advice: tell the recruiter straight up that you're interested but that for several reasons you won't be available to interview until October. You don't need to go into those reasons.

That's not really relevant here though.

The set of synthetic dyes we have does a pretty fantastic job at covering all the colors seen in the natural world, plus a whole lot more. We go way beyond the natural world, in fact, when you look at the bright/fluorescent colors you see in an athletic clothing store, as I mentioned in another comment.

What makes that 'new blue' you refer to special has nothing to do with how we perceive it directly -- it's trivial to recreate that hue. It's useful for the very specific use case of mixing colors while oil painting. It's for artists trying to blend colors.

Worse for me, as I'll likely ignore the pay route and go the exceedingly long and grindy route, and if I feel they've made that far too punishing for the rewards, I'll likely feel the game isn't rewarding enough to play. I'm not really interesting in proving to myself that I can pay money to do better than other people, so it doesn't help me enjoy games that are competitive in any way, and if it's a non-competitive game, I just feel like I'm being manipulated, which also saps the enjoyment out of it for me.

I don't mind purely cosmetic offerings being present in games, and I'll even buy a few. But if I feel like I'm competing on a field that's stratified by money, it just kills the enjoyment for me. It's the same reason I stopped playing Magic: The Gathering back in the mid nineties a few months after when it was first released. It was fun when we all had starter decks, but after friends started collecting special cards, I saw where I thought it was going an opted out. The realization just sapped a lot of the enjoyment out of the game for me.

Some clothing stores will close, others will remain open. Clothes are not moving 100% online any time soon. Anybody who bought clothes online must know what a pain in the ass it can be.

Here's my personal example from a couple of years ago. I live in UK and there was this Levi's jeans model that fit me very well, but there were only 2 colors. In USA however the same model had like 20 colors. So I bought these jeans online from USA, the same model, exactly the same size, just different color. When I received them I couldn't fit them on.
