How to take Smart Notes: https://takesmartnotes.com/

Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Good for helping you to recognize how your mind is working, and to work with it to improve yourself.

How To Practice by The Dalai Lama. Again, understand your mind to improve your ability to deal with life. I suggest this and the previous book because you can't build a great house without a sturdy foundation.

Dune by Frank Herbert. There's some lessons in here about managing your mind and your reactions to stimuli or adverse situations. Yes, seriously I'm suggesting a fiction novel :)

Others if I think of them!

My comment was polite, but your response is very aggressive.

If you work for Facebook then you have in-demand skills that will command a high salary elsewhere. Facebook is a highly unethical company and people should avoid working for them, your imaginative story notwithstanding.
Yet, some people try. There is "The Spirit Molecule" by Rick Strassmann, precisely about DMT, along with other books on "experimental spirituality".

“To most people who are even moderately experienced with entheogens, concepts such as awe, sacredness, eternity, grace, agape, transcendence, transfiguration, dark night of the soul, born-again, heaven and hell are more than theological ideas; they are experiences.” - Thomas Roberts

This phrase is quoted in "Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences" by William A. Richards (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28121728-sacred-knowledg...), yet I find it the most suitable summary of this overview of scientific research on psychedelics and religion.

We hear about mystical visions from LSD ("acid"), psilocybin ("shrooms"), and DMT from many "spiritual but not religious" people and self-proclaimed shamans. But how does it relate to vision by ordinary people (ones who never tired, and wouldn't try if it weren't for legal, scientific research)? And how does it relate to prayer, mediation, and mystical visions by Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Hinduists? How do monks and priests compare their psychedelic experience with their regular practice? Do they all turn to Zen Buddhism, or entrench in their religious background?

Regardless if you are deeply religious, or a non-spiritual atheist, I believe you will reconsider a few things after reading this book.
> France is bad

That fact is indisputable. The history of France is that of colonization, military repression, political police and suppression of local cultures.

> controls Africa and is responsible for everything going bad there

Not all of Africa, and large swaths of the french Empire are currently "threatened" by Chinese neocolonialism. Since the death of "Monsieur Afrique" [0] and the many Bolloré scandals, France's ability to corrupt and murder african officials has arguably diminished.

Also worth noting that the new generations in French-dominated Africa are growing a revolt against neocolonial exploitation. For example, the money France prints to keep a dozen countries in check economically has been at the center of widespread protests these past years, to the point Macron had to abandon it... to announce in the same sentence that from his throne he'll replace it with a new money called Eco (how ironic). [2]

[0] Jacques Foccart famously oversaw African exploitation under all governments from De Gaulle to Chiraq over several decades.

Attention is rare, definetly.

But some types of good information are very valuable too. Surely it's available somewhere today, but finding it can sometimes be very difficult.
The world doesn't run on "well-meaning" but realpolitik (look it up). The sort of discriminatory policies you espouse besides being corrosive poison to the unifying forces that create a nation state, fail to account for competition among nations.

The USA is free to teach CRT to kids, "decolonize mathematics", destroy meritocracy in public schools, lower the standards and burden young minds with race guilt and a feeling of entitlement (instead of striving for excellence) but one shouldn't be surprised if other countries that have maintained their connection with reality leave us in the dust.

If you're not convinced, history is full of examples of ideology-driven politics leading to disaster : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism
You would still be doing the job of concatenating together the error message, possibly rendering some complex objects to a string, that is then fed to the no-op. The point parent was making is that there is also a performance aspect to this, in addition to the security aspect.
> Think about that, if you had an optical cable running a reasonable (these days) 40 Gbits/second link and it's 3 feet long, that's 120 bits in transit from end to end at any given moment. And

Since glass[1] has an refractive index of roughly 1.5, speed of light in a glass fiber is roughly 2/3 foot per nanosecond, so you actually have 180 bits in transit.

[1]: at least most kinds of glass used in optical fibers and windows, at the wavelenths typically used in optical communications, which tends to be roughly in the range of 800nm to 1500nm
When you study how humans react to changes to a website, you study the behavior of the visitors to the website.

There's an obvious difference.

Also, I think most of optimisation of ads/engagement is plain unethical. So there's no hypocrisy on my part.
> It made me think how does this happen in the brain is the brain reading data from the memory where it shouldn't?

Kinda, yes. But the analogy breaks down, like the other user noted, because human memory is not stored in buffers, and not copied around from buffer-to-buffer. It's just not a good way to reason about the brain.

The mental model I use to think of it is "overconnectedness". Pattern-matching first fires on spurious associations more than usual, and the regions of the brain that would normally filter that out are turned down. The result is an almost dream-like erratic association of surface meanings and deep meanings in an incoherent way. Signals turning inwards, amplified in loops until the noise turns into imagined patterns.

The analogy to dreaming, unlike a computer, probably has some real substance to it. When you dream, certain parts of the brain become more inhibited, while other parts become disinhibited and start speaking more to each other. Same with the state experienced on a drug like LSD, for that matter.

This lines up with what we understand of the drugs that seem to intersect with this. Drugs that affect certain kinds of neurochemical receptors, particularly serotonin and dopamine receptors, can either induce LSD-style hallucinations (for drugs that increase signalling) or or, in some schizophrenic people, reduce or even largely shut off hallucinations and delusional thinking (if they reduce signalling).

There's definitely more to the puzzle than just this piece, though. (For one thing, anti-psychotic drugs are pretty good at shutting down hallucinations but not so good at addressing the rest of the scattered thinking typical in schizophrenia. Which suggests there's more than just a senses-gazing-inward thing going on. It's also quite possible schizophrenia is actually several distinct-by-cause but symptomatically related diseases.)
Ah, gotcha. Agreed with your initial comment, and glad to see the article appears to have been amended to match.
It's a figure of speech. "Should" here is short for "should according to our best theories. Therefore those theories are inaccurate".
I don't feel pain, but yes, noice cancellation on those Boses can have some weird effects in quiet environments. Therefor I only activate the noise cancellation on louder environments and then it really helps me concentrate.

But the noise cancellation is subtly audible. I'm not a sound engineer, but it feels a little bit like sound compression being too high.
Actual data points at millenials and zoomers actually reading more books than other generations [1].

This seemed weird to me until I figured out how few books my parents actually read.

This thread is full of social media as a generation-destroying boogieman, but nobody seems to consider how much more common youth alcoholism was 20+ years ago or how much of our parents' lives was spent in front of the TV.

Sure that's happened sometimes, but that's the worst case scenario. Most leaks don't go that spectacular and are either detected by irradiated workers or by civil society taking radioactivity measurements in the vicinity of nuclear facilities where no particular radioactivity should be measurable.
Whilst I missed the boat on Perl by a decade or two, I was exposed to it in a previous job. I was intrigued by its flexibility and power. It seemed so much could be accomplished with just the right knowhow.

So gradually over the years I've dipped in and out of Perl. I've found the learning curve much steeper than Python, or even C, but once surmounted the payoff is immense.

So I eventually wrote my own static website generator in Perl, available here for the curious:

https://github.com/lordfeck/rsru

A sample of what it generates is here:

Even lately at work, I was tasked with the tedious job of manually converting JSON files into Excel for a customer to review, then we'd have to convert them back to JSON.

Guess what I did instead ;)

I have friends who remember great details of the books they read. I remember books, almost photographically, when I dip back in, but often I can’t conjure it independently. Especially history books.

I watch discussions here at HN and some of them feel like they’re fueled by people remembering the kinds of things I can’t.

I do remember conversations I’ve had, verbatim.

I’ve tried remembering books, but I’ve also realized, at middle age, I’ve made these efforts numerous times over the years and this is unlikely to change now. So I’ve stopped reading those kinds of books because they have little utility to me. I can’t capitalize on them. I’ve moved to more impressionable and abstract works and more of it sticks to me. My teenage son can remember all of these things in great detail but still can’t remember todos. He has a simpler life and greater focus and concentration than I can manage without disrupting my entire life.

I’m now okay with this.
Anna Lembke, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence (August 2021)

The book «explores how to moderate compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overloaded world».

> Anna Lembke is professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. ... She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations

> In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke ... explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain... and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check

I am curious about how and how much discipline overrides the practical need for this theoretical field.
> "Occasionally you have the teammate without an optimal AV setup for conference calls where everytime they speak there's an echo, and I'd be like, "psst... get a pair of these, the mic quality is great and they're portable." I knew a lot of people who grabbed a pair."

I don't dispute the possibility of the burns, but I stopped reading here. The "echo" effect is caused from somebody using speakers instead of headphones as an output device during a call. Sometimes, having a good microphone or good software noise removal can mitigate this, but to solve the problem at the root, simply stop using the laptop speakers as the sound output device during meetings. You could use a pair of $20 earbuds to solve this. By the way, the echo isn't caused from them speaking, and if it is, the configuration fault lies with someone other than the speaker.

Also interesting that the author uses "portable" as the other selling point, as if the alternative were to use a boom mic.

If the author is thinking about suing, they'd be wiser to not eviscerate their own credibility as an engineer, in comments that could become designated as evidentiary material in such a case. It may not change the fact that they were burned and deserve compensation, but it may make it harder to win in court. The optimal thing to do is to say nothing public at all until clearing it with legal counsel. I'm not a lawyer though.

The websites have to comply with the law, but a university should not be sending them emails lying about their obligations under any law.

The emails were from fake people. So any work preparing any response regarding those fake peoples personal data is obviously not required by law. They don't exist.

And, as pointed out elsewhere in the thread, the researchers are probably not protected by either of CCPA or GDPR.
> I wouldn't be sleeping well if I were involved in this study. There is no way an IRB could determine that this is not human subjects research if you're emailing people and asking them anything.

Do you have a citation for this? What I'm seeing from random Googling is that you have to be obtaining information about the person for it to count.

If I were researching, say, price trends in some commodity and I called up several companies' sales lines and asked for their current price that looks like it would not be human subject research despite the fact that I'm talking to a human to get each company's price.

If I were researching pay trends at those companies and called up their sales lines and asked the people who answered how much they were paid it would be human subject research.
Yes, indeed, and Strassen is a bad default algorithm because of this. There are specialized situations where the numerical stability isn't an issue though.

I’m really surprised by the number of top level comments that are confusing two different products: YouTube and YouTube TV.

YouTube TV is basically cable TV delivered via the internet with some on-demand content and an “unlimited” DVR system. There are multiple tiers via add-on packages (just like cable), and there is no ad-free offering.

YouTube is the video sharing website everyone uses. The ad-free version of which is called YouTube Premium.

These two services have very little in common besides the obvious branding and parent company. The contract/fee dispute is between Disney and YouTube TV, and the result is that YouTube TV is currently not broadcasting Disney-owned television channels. Disney content is still all over YouTube itself via their YouTube “Channels.”

There is nothing negative happening to the planet. We couldn't hurt it if we tried. "Human life supporting environment" is what's at stake.
Calcium Gluconate gel would be a good idea for the burns. If you were exposed to any HF from the battery fire, it's the standard low-dose treatment used in laboratories where HF is handled (source: worked in a lab where we handled HF, was hit by a tiny droplet once).

That said, beyond 24 hours not sure how useful it would be.

Lithium Ion batteries don't have heavy metals in them, so there's no risk there.
Maybe it is not such a bad thing. We spend 8+ hours a day doing concentrated work. Then we drive cars some more time and spend some more time learning. Not doing concentrated work afterwards makes sense. It makes sense to do less concentrated hobbies after - sport or crafts or whatever.

If your work is boring and unchallenging or if you have as much free time as students or kids, concentrated hobbies makes massive sense.

Oh, yes. In the commie socialist states you would get effective healthcare regardless of means and without any cost to you, but in The Land of The Free* you receive bill after bill, each adding another 6 figure sum, requiring you to try to talk to the hospital (who, amongst other heinous lines, charged you $2500 for two 200mg paracetamol pills), pleading for mercy to forgive some of the debt, and at the same time talk to a $200/hr lawyer into pressing charges against anyone who was within earshot of the whole incident and aftermath, on the off chance you get less than half the amount awarded. Your lawyer gets the majority of the awarded sum, and then fees on top of that. You get low 5 figures and a permanent diminishing of mental ability. What an advantage.

Trust me. I have recent first-hand experience in the healthcare of Australia, and my sister has recent first-hand experience with the (lack of) healthcare in USA. I'm nearly 100% recovered, only because of the recency of injury, while she nearly died for the incredibly rare condition of giving birth, through a surgeon causing internal bleeding during a c-section. And no-one noticing she was dying for hours.
I’ve seen it before and watched most of it again.

It is crazy how he was shocked he could have gotten metabolic disease by following the food pyramid.

Honestly, I thought everyone, but especially MDs, knew the food pyramid is complete and total bullshit in terms of health and was created by the food industry itself. Granted the food pyramid is now the food plates, but that too I thought was generally recognized as bullshit in terms of health and created by the food industry.

I also don’t understand as a practicing physician how he initially concluded diabetes is caused by obesity. Sure there is a strong correlation, but as everyone loves to point out, plenty of skinny people have T2D and plenty of obese people do not, maybe he just didn’t see that very often in his practice and his patients were skewed to mostly/only diabetics with obesity.

It’s also not lost on me that changing ones diet and removing sugars/carbs is simple but that doesn’t make it easy, which is just as much a part of his new study as diet.

I don’t understand people that admit removal of carbs/sugar can prevent 100% of T2D case even reverse some existing cases, but don’t advocate for those dietary changes because there may be some other cause to the T2D. Take Attia, he talks about reversing his metabolic disease/pre-diabetes through dietary changes, we all know what they were (any physician will tell you how that is done), but he doesn’t state once in the TED Talk what those changes were. The reason he doesn’t say it is probably the same reason I was down voted above, people don’t want to hear it. I’d love to see a study on why people get turned off, angry, anonymously downvote online anytime they hear the specific dietary changes that can prevent T2D or reverse disease/pre-diabetes/T2D like Attia did.
That's not exactly a setup suitable for reliable production usage though.
When you think about it, the internet is very interactive and most of it is reading (youtube aside), compared to TV which is 100% preset video content.
