Ironically, erowid and other "drug" related forums contain the best "practical" knowledge and nuances of actually having to take the medication. They're not scientific or robust, but they are empirical. That's why most pharmacists and prescription-writing physicians will look at you funny (or get combative) if you tell them generic brand X isn't as effective/good as generic brand Z for you.

On paper, each generic must pass some bio-equivalency test with the FDA. Most of the time all that means is "we at generic brand X ran our own experiments and concluded that we show similar blood concentrations of drug A, to Brand-Name Z." And then every professional involved in that supply chain writes it off as "basically the same," excluding all the little implementation/manufacturing details that go into each specific producer, much less factory (quality control is frankly disturbing in many of these plants).

You won't find a lot of practical information written within scientific literature, aside from basic chemistry/biology (the low-level details). Most of the time the researchers running these experiments have done less research and have less hands on experience than the people who have to use this medication on a daily basis. Many times reading the scientific literature is just a rabbit hole that leads to nowhere, except feeling like "you're on to something."

Apologies for the rant.

Funny enough, I learnt from my partner (who is hearing) that hearing peoples do not like silence or anything that are too quiet. If there is a silence between the sentence or words, people often will instinct-ly fills those silence with fluff words like “um”, “mm”, “well” to be still in turn of the conversation. If there is a silence, they will assume that it is their turn to initiate the conversation further. Deaf communities don’t use that kind of nuances and it is a culture shock for me to learn how hearing people MUST have sounds anywhere.
Toyota has over the years adjusted how their JIT operates, and are now known to stockpile certain critical parts.

This is pure speculation, but I also wonder if Japan’s geography + slightly more diverse economic landscape (lots of small businesses that do nothing but make components) help make their JIT more resilient to shocks. With Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya all within an area less than the length of California, it’s far easier to “in-time” material.
Indeed, optimization problems aren't all that exciting because there are usually efficient heuristics that get you 99% of the way there.

A useful NP problem is generating code to meet some requirements. Instead of programming, you can write just some tests and get some code that passes them. Deep learning is a computationally feasible way of automatically finding a function that approximately matches some data points, but it doesn't always generalize well. Searching for the shortest program that matches all the data points should generalize better.
I'm not sure what you mean 1GB. An empty tab on Chromium seems to take about 30MB. Minimal "Hello world" GTK and Qt programs are around the same size.

Modern Xorg is also using the KMS API. If you don't want any fancy features and just want to draw some lines then you probably want to skip Xorg and Wayland altogether and use KMS directly.

The neutrino was discovered the same way. Conservation of momentum appeared to be violated, so we invented a new particle to save the conservation law.

Ironically, neutrinos are one type of dark matter. Hot dark matter.

I'm not saying that it's not a problem that we haven't seen cold dark matter in the lab yet. But the fact that dark matter sceptics are almost always not astrophysicists should tell you something.
We live in a world where all of our major journalists release fun, high-five-everybody-look-at-how-shit-this-thing-is mockery pieces for every new mistake by a tech company but where are the front page Vice pieces, Washington Post articles, or NYT exposés when Johnson and Johnson sells 33,000 bottles of baby power with asbestos in them? Why wasn't Johnson and Johnson's CEO dragged in front of congress, why don't we hear constant calls to break up Johnson and Johnson? This is just one example, but it's hilarious to see the outrage, the snide articles and nose-turned-up comments, while we conveniently ignore the worst industries that are destroying our planet, the slave labor that goes into all of our physical products, the poison that often finds its way into them, or the destruction they are wreaking on nature.

As a site dominated by tech industry employees, it's time that people working in tech stop simply nodding their heads when people shift the cultural spotlight on corporate malfeasance onto tech's bully target of the year/decade, over and over and over again. We get it, social media is fucked up. Great. Now, where are the Frances Haugen's of BigChemical or BigCPG? Why aren't they household names? Why aren't we collectively outraged they aren't at congressional hearings?

This piece by Vice absolutely embodies the snide tone, the absolute derision with which we decided it's OK to paint Facebook. That's well and good, Facebook isn't great, but doing so while turning a blind eye to far greater crimes is a crime that itself ought to be castigated. A journalists mission is in part to embody the Fourth Estate - to be a watchdog. When all journalism does is stand around the classroom and pat each other on the back and point at the dunce-hat wearing stooge of the decade making obvious mistakes in an echo chamber while ignoring the subtle crimes of the popular kid, it's worthy of the same snide comments itself.

For what it's worth, from at least one person's perspective it's exhausting to just read these replies, as if you or other OPs are eternally naive neophytes with no experience or understanding, or that providing a personal anecdote is automatically, implicitly, and irrevocably requesting advice. This tends to be the case with a lot of medical discussions online, but especially with mental health.

(It would be somewhat better if these questions were asking for advice themselves—"Have you tried $medication? It's been recommended to me and I'm interested in others' experiences"—but it's almost always "Surely you haven't tried ($medication || $lifestyle_change || $religion || just_grow_up()) because I have and it's a panacea.")
This is an attitude of blaming everyone else but yourself.

Unifi has an AR app for working with their switches[1] that shows some HUD info for each port. I've never used it on my switches personally and judging by that video it's more trouble than it's worth. But it exists.

For it to be "done once", it has to be done at all. I have not seen any reason to believe it was done at all. When posting a boast about having done the easy part, it does not inspire confidence that the hard part was done, too, but nobody thought the hard part was worth mentioning.

So, until I see the announcement, the reasonable interpretation is that it has not been done.

It makes sense given constraints of the time to try to fit the character set into 16 bits, but Unicode has variation selectors, why not use those for the ambiguous characters? They could have easily done something like HAN_CHARACTER_X + VARIANT_KANJI. It would take up an extra 16 bits, but given the density of CJK text relative to Latin text that may not be a big issue.

Edit: s/variant/variation/.
Well at least we will be going back to writing everything in C and squeezing everything out of our old legacy chips because what else can we do? Maybe the Intel/IBM/Globalfoundries fabs in the US can continue producing whatever last gen chips they are capable of.
Dodge v. Ford was basically a perfect storm of saying just the wrong amount.

To summarize the case, Ford was sitting on a huge amount of cash. Some shareholders, in particular the Dodge brothers, wanted it paid out as dividends. Ford said no, and specifically:

"My ambition is to employ still more men, to spread the benefits of this industrial system to the greatest possible number, to help them build up their lives and their homes"

Had he said less, or even nothing, that would have been fine. Management is entitled to make whatever business-related decisions they see fit (the "business judgement" rule). If the Dodges disagree with those decisions, they can sell their shares and reinvest the money elsewhere.

Had Ford said more "...and we think doing so will grow the market for our cars", "help us retain our skilled and motivated workforce" or something else vaguely related to success of Ford Motor Company, that also would have been fine.

Unfortunately, what Ford said fell into a gap where it was clear that what he was doing was not a business decision; he was using the shareholders' money for his own personal ends, charitable though they may be. Shlensky v. Wrigley is an interesting comparison. The Cubs refused to have night baseball games due to some...idiosyncratic beliefs about the "true nature" of the sport. This reduced their potential profits, but was nevertheless okay because chasing after the "purists" OR going for mass-market appeal are both reasonable business decisions.

> What does this mean for implementations that want to have these properties but have internal structures that make this inherently difficult?

Such implementations are de facto forbidden in the STL.

Although its containers have vague names like "forward_list" today the C++ STL's containers are in practice very specific data structures that have the specified properties because other data structures would miss one or more of the requirements.

This suits "stability at all costs" C++ programmers fine. Better that every C++ program is 10% slower than that their buggy library from 1995 has to be fixed to actually do what the standard says rather than whatever worked in 1995.

If you care about this but you like C++ you just don't use the STL. Third parties are free to make containers that use data structures that aren't old enough to stand for President of the United States of America, some of them aren't even old enough to legally drive in the United States of America.
DRM is rent seeking through control of digital assets. Patents and IP law manipulation, yes also rent seeking based on ownership of IP assets. Software subscriptions again, no question, that’s renting access to a software asset or service. These all meet the criteria I described.

Designed obsolescence is arguable though. The customer could always buy elsewhere.

Anyway tye case I was replying to is not rent seeking. Leaner businesses may be more fragile, but they are also more profitable and productive. It’s just being paid to do work.
I am not a doctor and do not know the difference between brain zaps and EHS (or whether there is one), but this article[1] summarizes it well.

For me, it is a loud sound but sort of within the head, accompanied by the sensation you get when you receive an electrical shock, which of course startles you awake. This unfortunately occurs just at the boundary between consciousness and sleep, which after it happens a few times in a row can put you off the idea of even trying to sleep. Occasionally I did awaken thinking there had been a literal explosion in the building.

I haven't taken SSRIs for 3 years and still get them, albeit less than when I was weaning off of them.

Yeah, I use a sound machine at home for sleeping. We started with our kids when they were babies, then decided we liked having one in our room as well.

Haven't graduated to having one in my office, but maybe I should give that a whirl. Though one thing the shower & hot tub still have is temperature comfort. Warm and relaxing might be as important as the noise.

It’s true that HN probably could continue to exist with much less overall usage and engagement than it currently has, but that’s because it presumably costs very little to run (including development and moderation) and (even more importantly) isn’t a core product for a public company attempting to constantly grow at all costs.
I doubt it's THAT high a multiple - in 2020 they earned just over $32 per user [1] and an Oculus Quest 2 retails for $299; one assumes the manufacturing cost is lower, meaning the multiple is likely 9x or less.

Of course, the essence of your point is true: Facebook doesn't make as much per year per user on average as a headset costs.

Nassim Taleb calls this fragility vs. "antifragility". A system with frequent small shocks, gets information from those shocks about what to keep buffers of. A system without an absence of frequent, small shocks, keeps no reserves (like the bones of an astronaut in weightlessness too long becoming thinner, or the muscles of someone who does not work becoming smaller). Small shocks are information, and they tell a system what to bulk up on.

Long periods of tranquility, leads to fragility. Which, for many reasons (climate change? war? pandemics? disruptive technologies?) is not a good preparation for the near future.
The ONLY things that will stimulate SOD activity are superoxides. But the SOD enzymes need cofactors to work effectively.

SOD1 and SOD3 (Extracellular) needs Copper and Zinc
SOD2 (intracellular) needs Manganese (not magnesium)

It is possible that these cofactors will stimulate SOD on their own.
Agreed - and very well put with the sun exposure metaphor -, but I found it an interesting and important piece of information to define the scenario, especially given the recent studies about the decline in time of some products in some of their effects (which seemed (sketchy numbers) to lower the reduction of the chances of transmission of a post-3-month Pfizer to roughly one third the chance of an unvaccinated individual, composing the relative chance of infection and the relative chance of re-transmission), and that the numbers still swing wildly - only hours ago, on The Conversation similar ratio of chances was reported as 1/20.¹

In some cases (freshly vaccinated) we seem to get a dramatic (? from memory) decrease in relative chances of infection and transmission, in other cases (months after) both relative chances seem to roughly halve the values for the unvaccinated: this study suggests that the difference relative chance of transmission can consistently be lost. It is still part of the puzzle.

One part which is more surprising is that of the viral load being «the same» from vaccinated to unvaccinated: the initial theories of some were that the vaccinated infected should have had less viral load and for less time (the left hand is shaken with this study).

--

¹https://theconversation.com/your-unvaccinated-friend-is-roug...

The author (Christopher Baker, Uni-Melbourne) uses a very rough 50% as the chances of the infected vaccinated to transmit infection relative to the infected unvaccinated, then uses a value of 10% the relative chances of infection of the vaccinated and comes to the 5%. That value indication as 10% comes from the Victorian Department of Health. As noted, other studies (e.g. about effects changes in time) provide different values.

I had the same experience with vyvanse. Insomnia and ADHD medication are a dangerous combo -- one that's hardly recognizable until it's too late.

In my experience, I've had to run the gamut on all the "other" ADHD drugs (ritalin, adderall, d-amphetamine ER, etc.) and then prove they weren't effective, for my insurance to finally approve it. I've heard of some people even going so far as to get prescription meth (desoxyn) because nothing else would work! Strange world.

I've stopped taking meds entirely. I don't know if it's because I'm getting old, and even a "low" dosage (5-10mg) makes me feel very uncomfortable, or if it's because I've used a lot of different slavic nootropics and neuro-regenerative peptides (e.g. semax/NASA, BPC-500, etc.), but I just do not have any tolerance for it anymore.

Fortunately, this loss of tolerance coincided with the ability for me to function very well on simple caffeine alone.
