Convincing the rich to stop tipping the scale is about as likely as convincing people that "eat the rich" is not an actual solution to the problem. Both are rooted in hatred and ignorance, and neither will actually lead to justice.

I think you expertly articulated the position I am opposing.

I don't believe personal responsibility and willpower is a fixed quantity, even at the population level. In fact, I think they are negatively impacted by emphasizing the influence of external factors in personal behavior.

Telling an addict that they are powerless to regulate their consumption only erodes their ability to improve. External factors my have led them to their addiction, but they can't fix an additional without assuming agency taking control of their behavior. Yes, this is HARD, but no addict can recover without it.

The only durable solution that will help people is shifting the curve such that more people are able to resist or avoid addictive activities. Policy solutions are simply too ineffective and porous to have a durable effect.

According to the psychonaut wiki, 25mg is the boundary between common and strong doses.

https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/4-AcO-DMT

In writing this message, I went back to my notes and see that I had taken 20mg, not 25mg, that first time.

I abbreviated my history of experiments in my original message, but I had actually had first tried a different tryptamine in a series of ramped experiments a few weeks apart. It was 4-aco-det, aka ethacetin or ethylacybin. 4mg, then 10mg, then 18mg, then 30mg. I chose that one because my reading indicated it was less intense than 4-aco-dmt. All were underwhelming, with little body load, no open eye visuals, and mild, gossamer closed eyed visuals.

When I switched to 4-aco-dmt I should have ramped as well, but the previous experiments led me to believe that I was a low responder to tryptamines, so I started at 20mg. That is when I learned my lesson to not make assumptions: always ramp with a new substance from a very low dose.
They want the game to be governed, patched, etc. by the community eventually via a DAO. I think you needed a decentralized ledger for that, but as of right now, I think you are correct in that a decentralized ledger is not so useful.

The rustc compiler uses LLVM, so whatever new architectures LLVM supports, rustc also gets. There are two projects going on right now - rustc_codegen_gcc which adds GCC as a rustc backend, and gcc-rs which adds a rust frontend to GCC. Both have seen considerable progress and support over the past year and are probably the most promising avenue to expanding the architectures that rust can compile to.

It's not an ancient practice, I recall a case in the early 2000s where we got an expensive CPU upgrade to a mainframe which was not implemented by "a guy in a white lab coat" but as a one-line script (with a cryptographic key) to unlock more CPUs which were already installed on the system when it was first shipped.
You're actually right. The goal is to automate all work to the point there is no need for an economy. In a post-scarcity society there is no need to economize.

However, it's a mistake to believe the rich and powerful will allow such a society to exist since they'd be powerless in it. They will impose artificial scarcity on it in order to maintain the existence of capitalism and their fortunes. Just look at how copyright is ruining free computing and the free internet.

I am often found defending Valve here on HN, so I'd just like to go on record that these skin and card trading markets are bad and Valve is bad for running them.
what if your driver or user space app is affected by a poorly architected driver which was written in rust? now you need to deal with that rust source code. a true nightmare.
> Some skins and cosmetics cannot be put on the market again or resold. Some people would see this constraint from a centralized force as a flaw.

But the skin owner can code pauses/restraints in the NFT smart contract, right? A decentralized market wouldn't change that.

> In decentralized gaming, anyone is free to take those assets and build a game off them. For example, if you had a certain rare skin, and someone made a dota fan game (or custom game if you are from the old WCIII days or custom lobby in current dota days), then you could enable certain functionality if they had the skin or NFT. There is a lot you can do from here that isn't purely cosmetic but also not P2W.

But for that you need to have free assets, to the point where someone else can build a game. And I bet in that case you don't need to own the skin, just load the asset in the game and that's it.
Oh for sure. If they offered stock or options I'd take them up on it. Cash? I already make a good salary. Kudos? lol.

JSON Modules in JavaScript
I don't have links handy but I have seen some documentaries and interviews that showed California has less of a drought problem and more of a water storage problem. Most of the water ends up in the ocean. Water storage is expensive and getting approval to build it is often met with legal battles that drag out for decades. My own take on it is that the system is paralyzed by conflicting interests leading to the existing exacerbated problems, making what would be a mild drought into a major issue.

To answer your question, should we really be farming in the desert, I think that depends on when/if the problem of water storage is solved. Assuming that gets solved, I would expect things like water reclamation and making sea water usable for crops to follow. Without storage all of those systems would have to be over-engineered to keep up with demands, I think.

I'm sure you know this but there hasn't been a pandemic virus as virulent and deadly as COVID-19 in modern times.

For some perspective, Chicken Pox killed roughly 100 Americans every year and that vaccine was mandated in effectively all schools and universities across the country.
2/3 of all jobs are widely accepted to add no value to society[1]

2/3 of all consumption is accepted to add no incremental happiness[2]

2/3 of all CO2 emissions can be eliminated through careful lifestyle management and community design.[3]

These quantities do not seem coincidental and they point to a better way of doing things.

You're not wrong, there's no incentive currently to 'pay us back'. But collectively we are working three times as much as necessary so we can afford things that don't make us happy, and there is no way to sustain that state of affairs beyond the next hundred years or so. Scamming or strong-arming the ruling class into paying most of us for work that doesn't add value may be in our best interest in the short term, but for the long term we need to start acknowledging that it's not in anyone's interest that this state of affairs continue.

Agreed. Getting companies to voluntarily put themselves into this position would require some creativity. But, that's what everyone is talking about with "Keep your stuff as you move between metaverses!" How would that work? Each service would have to recognize your ownership of the stuff and have some implementation of how they want to handle it. But, you can't force a World of Warcraft magic axe into Call of Duty if CoD doesn't want you to.
The secondary market and they don’t have to touch any of the regulations around handling real money if they were to run this themselves. F2P games with their own virtual currencies don’t usually let players cash out for the latter reason.
Interesting. Do you have a source for this? I'd find it really surprising if YT was treating negative signal as positive signal in this specific way.
> Ordering is too expensive. Don't ever count on it when using an asynchronous queue

In a field where precision is absolutely necessary, it's unfortunate to use the term queue to describe something that is not a queue.
> "In decentralized gaming, anyone is free to take those assets and build a game off them."

Certainly not. The assets are owned by the game developer. The NFT is just a receipt that you paid for them.

I suppose another developer can read that receipt and offer you some content in their game, but if that content looks anything like the original asset, they're liable to get sued for copyright infringement.
You're way too nice.
I think it's more likely that 5 came out because if it ever saw the answer, 105, before, it was split into the tokens [10][5] of which it only 'remembered' one. Or the numbers were masked when training (something that was done with BERT-like models) so it just knew enough to put a random one in
As someone who once did the same thing to attempt to strengthen the type system in Go, I offer you my endless sympathy...
If NFT is the 21st century equivalent for the money laundering and tax evasion schemes with art pieces in the past centuries, then, being long ETH seems like a good strategy, disregarding the morality of it.
> Can you think of any virus even close to COVID mortality that we take these kinds of draconian measures to prevent?

SARS-CoV-1 (2002), MERS (2012+)

"Of the 7 coronaviruses, the former four can cause common cold symptoms, but SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV can lead to severe respiratory syndromes, with about 6.76%, 9.6%, and 35.5% mortality rates, respectively." [0]

We just dodged a bullet because they were regionally-contained and/or had lower transmissibility. But if you were in Asia before and after 2002, you noticed.

> I've also made the mistake of sharing my tools only to find criticism but no offer to help make improvements. Fuck em, wasting my time.

Have experienced a ton of this too. One of the biggest internal tool mistakes of my career was to ship a tool like op's: Got yelled at for using company time to work on non-sanctioned work only to have the person yelling at me end up using my tool for 6 years. Colleagues would get pissy with me when drift happened never updating the tool themselves. Was in a weird position where I had no actual "sanctioned time" to work on the tool but was still required to support it.

But... the biggest rub: my manager (yeller from above) took all of the credit when upper execs eventually caught wind as client-facing changes were happening literally days faster. Something about "building a dynamic team where people are allowed to innovate" - my name wasn't even brought up according to the exec that I was close with.

If I could go back and redo everything I'd hide my work as it caused me nothing but pain, suffering, and bitterness. The reward for good work in so many places is a crack of the whip and more work.

I'm wondering this too, which exposure vectors? How much exposure is necessary? I really couldn't find anything on it? Will one inhale of lead dust cause poisoning or a spike in levels? Does it require consistent ingestion? Like we know lead is bad for children and the best case is lead free environment, but that's not available to most of us. What's the in between? How does exposure manifest in lead blood levels?

I just bought an old house with known lead paint. I had as much remediated as I could but there is still (covered) lead paint on the radiators, door casings, stairs, soil and porches.

What sort of exposure does this provide my children? How likely are these to be airborne? How much ingested lead dust is necessary to affect my children's blood levels?

We had a baseline blood test before we moved in, but now it's just waiting 4 months until their updated test, and me being an anxious mess and wiping everything down and touching up paint constantly.
Companies use twisted non-straightforward language because they have the power to not suffer significant repercussions from doing so, just like a bona fide government. Some customers may see through the bullshit and leave, but on the whole most won't. Impotent totalitarianism is still totalitarianism.

Furthermore, newspeak in 1984 wasn't simply the language the government used to make pronouncements, but rather the language that people were expected to use to communicate (moreso for politically connected people IIRC). I'd say corporate speech with its baked in responsibility-dodging passive-aggression definitively qualifies, as the people making these statements seemingly believe they're communicating in earnest. It's only when they're taken out of the corporate context that their vacuousness becomes apparent.
Many baseline versions of SAAS software will use username/passwords but in order to get SSO you need the premium version. Is it fair to accuse that company of profiting from cybersecurity threats because username/password is less secure than SSO?

Findings This cross-sectional study linking Quest Diagnostics childhood lead testing and US Census data captured individual- and community-level disparities in lead exposure from October 2018 through February 2020. In adjusted models, the proportion of children with detectable (≥1.0 μg/dL) and elevated (≥5.0 μg/dL) [Blood Lead Levels] BLLs increased significantly among those with public insurance and for progressive quintiles of community pre-1950s housing and poverty.

Results Of the 1,141,441 children (586,703 boys [51.4%]; mean [SD] age, 2.3 [1.4] years) in the study, more than half of the children tested (576,092 [50.5%; 95% CI, 50.4%-50.6%]) had detectable BLLs, and 21,172 children (1.9% [95% CI, 1.8%-1.9%]) had BLLs of 5.0 μg/dL or more.

Rust makes up the majority of the current Fuchsia code on the main branch (2.6M lines), at least according to `cloc`, but there are more lines of C++ code (1.6M) than plain C, assembly, and C/C++ headers combined (0.95M). And that's very generously assuming all those headers are compatible with C and not just C++.

Hi, Toby from Charm here. With Soft Serve the account system isn’t tied to the machine. You can configure access by cloning the config repo, then editing a yaml. This makes it easy to add collaborators vs adding user accounts to the underlying server. It also allows for anonymous access. You can test our server:

ssh git.charm.sh

We also made it so it creates repos on first push. The navigation TUI is served directly over SSH.

Is it tyranny if it’s what the majority wants and votes for? It seems like “tyranny” is being used to describe situations where democracy is working as expected, and some people just don’t want to accept the majority result. I feel like this word tyranny is being thrown around a lot lately without much rigorous thinking about the fact that we do need laws because we have no choice about having to share a lot of things including the air we breathe. Is the fact that it’s illegal to murder someone tyrannical and authoritarian?

I own some NFTs. They represent a partial interest in an LLC that owns real property (single family homes) in the United States. The properties earn rental income, which flows to a management company, which takes their cut and sends the rest to the LLC, which then puts the rent into crypto which flows to me via smart contract daily. I can take my rent money out any time I want or I can sell my NFT any time I want based on the current value of the house (which I think is just pulled from Zillow or Redfin?).

It's an experiment for sure, but the nice thing is that the tokens are only $50 each initially (they base the total number of tokens on the purchase price of the house so that they come out to $50 each) so it's low risk.

You can get the tokens too at https://lofty.ai (I have no relation to them other than being a customer, but they are a YC company).
There definitely are major customers (for example, cloud providers) which explicitly demanded "bridled CPUs" like TPM and SecureBoot. It's not not something imposed by Intel, those features are required by an important part of the market, ignored by another important part of the market (unsophisticated consumers), and opposed by an small part of the market which is highly represented among tech and privacy enthusiasts here on HN, but is not really significant in size.
