is that right? You're referring to the fact that in general in modern physics a "field" implies a field-carrier particle. Lambda-CDM dark matter theories specifically posit that various astronomical discrepencies can be explained using particles that only interact gravitationally, with a huge number of degrees of freedom (e.g. the difference between the bullet cluster and the milky way alone represents a LARGE set of degrees of freedom).

This seems rather different from a "single" field which may have a particle (that may or may not itself interact gravitationally), with only one additional degree of freedom.
I didn't know the battery packs were so expensive that having them in a landscaping work truck was a substantial liability.
Quality of the basics matters. Folks like to say they don’t need a fast processor, because all they do is browse the web.

If you open the messages app and browser 50x per day (which seems like a conservative estimate) and load the maps app a few times a week, the speed differential between devices adds up. Personally, I find the annoyance factor more bothersome than the raw hours of wasted human lifetime.

Side by side, my iPhone 12 takes several seconds less to open Firefox than pixel 4. 1.5 seconds faster to open Slack. 5s faster to launch Sonos. 5s faster launching The Economist. 0.5s faster launching phone. 4s faster launching Spotify. This is with iPhone running several other apps, android idling with no background apps.

Recent phone launches look boring, but getting the basics right absolutely matters. I was hoping Tensor would bring iPhone level performance, but we may have to wait a few years, since they’re only focusing on AI, which iPhone already does quite well.

Personally, I think it is totally valid to count performance and quality as features. Imagine if instead of performance, there was a feature where the phone cut your need for sleep by 5 minutes a day, or cut 5 minutes off your commute, or dropped your cortisol levels x%. Or shortened your wait for the elevator/grocery store by 5 minutes. That’s ultimately what performance means - time saved from the pure waste of waiting for apps and content to load.

Edit: to clarify, this isn’t iPhone elitism. I absolutely believe android users deserve best in class hardware. It is a shame that the vast majority of phone users are having their time stolen from them by Android and Qualcomm. I really wish I had the option of switching to android but I’m just not willing to tolerate it anymore; I have these devices side by side because I just gave up on my post-CSAM scanning switch after two months.
Although as a male I highly support that sex work be legal, and acknowledge it as legitimate work, I do not tend to honestly respect this type of work (besides the courage to do it and such). I find it quite unfair be able to make so much money for relatively low effort (at least it feels that way despite the downsides/dangers).

But I must say that this escort is super smart and has a really good sense of business. This article also gave me some newfound respect for escorts for the fact that although on the surface they seem to mostly just use their bodies, they do put in a lot of effort on the business and strategy side which people don't talk about.

One way could be to tax based on recyclability.

We basically did that for several decades, and we now have more people in prison than the rest of the world combined, as well as a much larger population of second class citizens (try to get a job with a criminal record!). Many of them did not commit any crime at all. And all of the second-order effects that come from this carceral worldview: missing parents, broken families, generational poverty, and for those directly involved, tremendous suffering.

And you can look for yourself: our crime rates are comparable to, in many cases worse than, any other place that superficially resembles ours.

The way your comment is written makes it seem like you are sympathetic to this idea.

There is no "out of society." They're still here, we still have to deal with them. Not only with them, but also with the machine that we built to coerce them into living the way they live.

I've dabbled in Esperanto, which was designed to be a simple, nationally neutral language that everyone could learn as a second language for international communication, so no specific people would be favored with native language.

Of course, it's still latin based, so it would still heavily favor people from Europe and the Americas.

This one is still interesting in seeing how simple language can be, although you do notice how the grammatical consistency ends up sounding artificial, sterile, and sometimes awkward. Natural language probably evolved all of its irregularities to please our ears and tongues.
As far as I recall, the roach coach that stopped at the place I worked at in 1980, twice a day, was 'staffed' by such an independent contractor.

We call them food trucks now and some of them really are independent I think, like the ones that cluster in Portland. But what I refer to served food that was not nearly as good.

these are some bold (anecdotal) claims made in response to an extremely well-sourced article that not only shows where the data came from but how it was analyzed. care to give us some actual data?
> Even if we get the OT part right, it’d be huge effort to port this to support other semantic structures with different set of ops

Its very doable, and its been done. Eg, in json1[1] we have support for lots of tree operations on a set of data stored as a JSON tree:

- Insert / delete in lists

- Move (reparent) any object in the tree

- Embedded edits (so if you have a custom type inside a field and define your own operations)

This is all very general purpose. You don't need to do reinvent any of this per application.

> I believe avoiding unnecessary temporary variables in a very valuable thing for the reasonability of code

I’m not convinced temp vars are avoidable in production code, since usually you end up needing error checking/handling on intermediate results anyway. Teams I’ve worked on generally try to avoid dense nested and/or chained expressions for this reason, but also because too much density or conciseness also limits the readability/reasonability of code.

I like that pipes turn nested expressions right-side out like the article points out, but temp vars already do this too.

The other thing that temp vars help with is making it easier to change functions in the middle of a sequence. If you have a nested expression, sometimes having to refactor something in the middle leads to a bigger avalanche of changes than necessary. Using temp vars might be somewhat less churn in some cases due to already haven broken down the expression into pieces. Maybe this pipes design will allow that too, it’s hard to say without using it for a while.

I didn't exactly have any nausea.

But, I mean, my body did not feel... normal, including digestively. It did not always feel "right". I definitely went through some weird body things, and weird relationship to my body experiences.

It was a very large dose.

I have eaten mushrooms on my own before (although not for years), much smaller dose, and had nausea, so I know what you mean. This was a different sort of experience, that did not involve a 'normal' kind of nausea, my guess is that's because it was pure synthetic psilocybin, yeah.

> Will they go the way of Intel by incentivizing their customers build their own SOCs?

Intel still only have one legitimate competitor in the x86 space and they can at least get a bit of the business they're losing back through their emergent FAB outsourcing division. They also seem to be throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall and some of it might stick!

Qualcomm seems to be keeping their head just above water. I suspect that's going to change quite rapidly though.

Every generation the gap between Snapdragon, Dimensity, and Exynos gets narrower and narrower. However, this coming generation might finally do them in. The Dimensity 2000 looks like it's going to be a monster and the next generation Exynos is about to pick up some RDNA 2 IP, so who knows what that crazy thing is going to do.
there's definitely some weird shit going on with "conventional dark matter theories". For example, aside from the fact that both are mysterious, there is no a priori reason for "the same phenomenon" to explain

- matter chunkiness at the universe-size scale

- rotational discrepancies at the galaxy-scale

yet it seems to be taken as gospel that lambda-CDM explains both. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Legalizing for protection of those involved is one thing, but it is completely orthogonal to 'reducing the stigma'. Frankly this is where these movements lose people, including the abortion movement.

> Heroic is usually considered at least 5g

5g of actual mushroom fungus bodies? Yeah, this was just chemical psilocybin on it's own nothing else, and if I remember right the dose was consequently measured I think in mg rather than g, but they did use the phrase "sometimes called 'heroic'" when I asked about the dose, so, yeah, something like that. (They were clear that it was going to be a very large dose -- informed consent!)

> So instead you'd train yourself to acknowledge all aspects of you in that moment and instead

The counselors/guides involved definitely had a sort of Buddhist philosophy, with regard to quitting smoking as well as the psilocybin session.

I find Americanized (not to be pejorative, just we're always in our culture) Buddhist philosophical approaches to be increasingly popular among therapist and mental health experts generally. But they definitely were here. I have an interest in them myself.

I do not actually think I have a particularly "open-fluid" mind, compared to others, but I guess I'm trying (-without-trying). :)

> I wonder if the researchers first created a survey to determine the level of this kind of psychological flexibility a person has, and then see how those different groups perform in the psilocybin research

They definitely gave me all sorts of survey instruments, at various points in the study. Most of them multiple times, at various points before and after the session. It sometimes seemed obvious what they were "for" from the questions, other times mysterious. My sense is that while some of it may be, like you say, to see what kinds of people might have different outcomes -- more than this, I think a lot of it was to see if the psylocybin session changed people in what ways.

I don't think it actually changed me in a way that would show up on the survey instruments (I was kind of hoping it would!), but I haven't seen the analysis of my survey instruments, and I didn't keep copies of my answers!
Prepare to be surprised :-).

Not from my doctors. I asked.

They said that an auto-PAP is not the first choice. A CPAP is a better choice, if it will work for you at the pressures you need. But they only work up to certain levels of pressure.

An auto-PAP will work to higher levels of pressure, but then it has to continually adjust the levels of pressure that it applies based on the resistance it senses, and that is not as good for you as constant pressure.

And there’s no way a CPAP or auto-PAP is going to wake me up at night, short of causing me to go into an apnea condition and potentially die.

Thank you, but no. I’ll stick with my CPAP.
Now that’s just silly. My device turns water directly into gasoline, so you can save yourself the expense of building an oil refinery.

>By the way, if someone dies because of it, the only person whose conscience it is on is the person who bought a phone they couldn't afford and then didn't pay for it. Just like if someone died because the car got repo'd and they couldn't drive to a hospital.

This is some fucked up reasoning. People run into financial difficulty for various reasons, sometimes out of their control. But even for the serial deadbeats who don't care about financial responsibility saying "yeah, it's fine that somebody or their loved one died because it's their fault"? I can't imagine thinking like that.

This is a fantastic article: informative, well-written, thoughtful, human, and funny. And it’s especially interesting to see it posted here at HN, because while reading it I kept thinking there are some solid lessons here about entrepreneurship, sales, and product pricing that could certainly be applied to your average start-up SaaS.

I mean, anchoring your price high, to better capture the businessman/enterprise market? And that this market also happens to be less likely to be time-suck jerks about little issues, or constantly asking for product changes/features? Literally better b̶a̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶buck for your bang.

I think a big value add would be to have print-based debugging features for the functions (I'm not familiar with PostgreSQL custom functions so apologies if that already exists). E.g. a very common scenario while debugging a complicated query is to verify why the output is not as expected and that means repeatedly taking subparts of the query until we zero in on the problem. CTEs make it somewhat better but not ideal. If we have support for some sort of (conditional) print output (separate to the main output), it might help turning them on if/when needed (sort of like loglevels). Just thinking aloud - I'm sure there are lots of practical/conceptual roadblocks with it.
Yes that is the most surprising and shocking thing I learned in this blog -- even more scary than the horrifying developer/tester tale told.
My laptop has two USB C ports. You can charge it through one of them but not the other one. My other laptop has one USB C port. You can't charge it through that one. I have a USB cable for my old phone. You can only charge it slowly through that cable.

USB C is about as useful as an IDC10.
My intuition, is that a phone is both a visual and written media, and extended exposure to writing via phones should improve reading skills. (I have nothing to back this up)
Ah, cool, I’ve never heard anyone speaking Esperanto. Looking up videos now… Do you think it’s achieving the goal of being an international alternative? Are there enough people learning Esperanto?

That Toki Pona WP page mentions Esperanto takes 30-40 hours to reach beginner proficiency, while apparently Toki Pona takes ~30 hours to master. Maybe I should try them both, because 30 hours is nothing. I’ve spent hundreds of hours in German, thousands in Spanish, and can’t say much. 30 hours in most real languages doesn’t get you that much further than being able to say hello and where’s the bathroom comfortably.
So if someone elbows you accidentally when you're working out a dosage, will you end up giving the wrong one?

Related, I've often wondered whether people have categorized languages by how they change the way you think.

While efficient communication of ideas is important, what seems just as if not more important to me is how the language allows a brain think. We think in our language, and there are tradeoffs between languages on the patterns of thought that are easy and that which are difficult.

I'd rather learn a language that gives me a new model for thinking about the world more creatively, more collectively, or just in an entirely alien way that few people think like.

And going a step further, it would be fascinating to experiment with constructing languages with the intention of building a kind of novel "brain firmware" that would help people think in ways no human ever has. I suppose programming languages are like that to some extent.
Me, the first week was pretty hard, the next 6 months were still hard, the next year was a lot easier -- but I still want a cigarette with some frequency! It's just a "want" I can, now, after two years, fairly easily choose not to fulfill.

But when I see other people smoking in a context I remember being enjoyable, OR when I am especially stressed or depressed -- I definitely still want a cigarette. I don't especially think I'll ever never want a cigarette again.

They are so addictive!
