The hallucination affected by psychedelics such as mushrooms isn't what you might expect. It's not a fully synthetic kind of "i now see an object that is not actually there". There won't be a floating pink elephant in the middle of the room.

Instead the effect at most normal doses (3.5g) is more that the walls and floors seem to take on a slightly ephemeral breathing characteristic. You may see patterns in things of varying complexity and intensity. The patterns may seem to shift and meld into eachother in a kind of loop... Psychonaut wiki[0] has several approximations of varying quality, a lot of the gifs in particular (the cat lying on the couch and the wolf drinking) resonate with me.

Sensory input can also include audio hallucinations, as well as perceptions that are simply normally filtered out of our experience by our brains--a sense of the organs inside your body, or the teeth in your mouth, or whatever.

A lot of the effects are mental, prompting often amusing and revelatory departures from your normal thought patterns. Everything old is new again. You may find yourself deeply examining the complexity of your hands, or the bizarre fact that we're not always "like this", or in deep awe of the staggering complexity of civilization or the chemical machines that are our bodies. That kind of thing.

The realization that we collectively have no idea what we're doing here, that a whole lot of what we believe to be real and permanent is imaginary and temporary, and that there are no rules to life, no winners, that we should take care of nature and each other, and that you should follow your muse to do what you find interesting and beautiful.

Media portrayal of this varies but some shows do hit it quite on the head, actually Mad Men has an interesting trip episode that understates the visual component and emphasizes the mental[1]. Broad city's was particularly colorful and fun (S4e4, full ep. isn't on youtube).

Some media can give you a bit of a taste of the experience, others grossly exaggerate it or flat out misrepresent it. You know how it goes.

> I don't think you're weird btw, just less social I guess?

It's not the GP being less social - it's their neighbours as well.

They said other people don't knock, which is what make it seem like it would come over as a weird if they did it themselves.

That chimes with my experience. In ~25 years of living in many different places, I don't think I've ever had my door knocked on by neighbours for an introduction or friendly chat. Only by people I already know, and that's rare too. (I don't live near anyone that I know).

So I wouldn't knock on a neighbour's door. I'd feel uncomfortable, intruding on other people's private lives.

It's not like I'm not social. I like people and would probably enjoy knowing my neighbours better. (Though not during this pandemic - I haven't mingled indoors anywhere since March 2020).

But it seems like every little group of people (most are houseshares) keeps to themselves.
KiCad 6.0.0 Release Announcement
This ship's story isn't unusual. Every ship during WWII was a safety nightmare. Fratricide was common. So too were dangerous navigation errors. Every weapon system was one checklist item away from a deadly mistake (ie torpedo primers being the only safety mechanism during a drill). We wax nostalgic for all the heroes of WWII, but by today's standards a WWII crew was a bunch of under-trained kids manning extremely dangerous equipment. Such are the needs of war.
This is sort of a comical response. The building is engulfed in flames and plan is to keep the stairwells clear.

If the concrete and fire doors are doing their supposed job, then the fire brigade can just wait. If the concrete and fire doors are not doing their job, then getting people out is far more important than getting the fire brigade in.
Its a pretty specific niche product. The code is also terrible :) Every time I had to make a change i was terrified, so many files with redundant functions and just spaghetti code. I hadn't programmed for a little over 4 years when I wrote it and it was my first time coding anything outside of c++. It did make me love web development though and set me off on my current career. Actually excited to build something new, future is bright :)
Yes, that is a good point, the further East the smaller the amounts of investment made. Of course Germany had its hands full with the reunification, which is effectively still continuing today. But Poland definitely benefited from its German proximity and Czechia to some extent (though less) as well. In part this is historical, the German territory used to run all the way to the Baltics (not quite voluntarily, Poland was frequently and heavily fought over by both the Russians and the Germans who used it as their personal stomping grounds).
It might bring you some joy - or not:) - to find that CDE is still actively available and maintained as well
Branch? Are you statesides or overseas?
I don't think that just because some "bot" did this Microsoft is to be excused. Someone decided that using a piece of software to automatically alter license files. This is a genuinely stupid idea. And they already fucked up in the same way with the CUPS project. Will they learn without someone taking them to court over this? I don't think so.
From the broadcast: "Liftoff from a tropical rain forest at the edge of time itself."

What does that mean?
I appreciate the frustration, but doesn’t this mean that there is a larger percentage of people trying to get help for mental illness that otherwise would not be? Sure trying to get diagnosed with something because it’s trendy is ridiculous, but it also means these people are talking to a professional and may uncover other mental health concerns
The problem isn’t using one tech or another, but the fact that malicious extensions can be installed and we cannot detect it.
Interesting point. 100 years ago “idiot” and “mental retardation” were medical diagnoses. 100 years from now, both the evolution of language and the advancement of medicine may similarly antiquate the term “autism.”

Maybe this is a perpetual cycle when it comes to mental health terminology.
It's got nothing to do with their size but the 40 years (thus far) of doing aggressively bad shit.

The US has a history of this - Castro wooed the US too. His party didn't even describe itself as socialist until years after the US slammed the door in his face and the Soviets didn't. Once the Soviets had bought him, Castro made concession after concession that he could have made to the US instead.

The following is pure conjecture with zero evidence:

I think that’s on purpose, not to “steal” code from GPL’ed softwares’ authors, but to get GPL’ed code into commercial projects. Then Microsoft can say “oops, we were right all along! The GPL is so dangerously viral that you can’t even host your software on the same server!”

I know that sounds stupid, unless you were there for the Halloween Documents. After all these years, it seems to me that Microsoft hasn’t done the 180 they portray.
It is honest. It is a very thinly veils reference to Covid which has proven that humanity is ready to give up before working together.
...but aside from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Somalia, and South Sudan everyone is part of one or more (usually more) international treaties that cover copyright such as the Berne Convention or TRIPS or UCC, so you should expect in most places that most people on HN are likely to ever deal with have copyright law that isn't too different for the most common situations.
Originally it was a way to differentiate between autistics and non-autistics, and then suffered language drift. It would probably have been better to just start off saying NA for "non-autistic".
I understand you OP. I'll add a little bit of my story hoping it would comfort you or people in similar situations.

I went through a divorce with a massive emotional rollercoaster which devastated me for a few years. Lost excellent job/research opportunities/offers. Lost contact with family, friends and mates. Got social anxiety, avoided people and felt unprecedentedly alone. Life pushed me off my limits and left me crushed and helpless.

But I survied. Got a deeper appreciation for good things in life. For time, for loved ones, for humans, for I am one. Tried my luck with a new job, joined again some communities recovered some of my old hobbies and good habits. I got to know myself better.

The thing is, it will pass. What helped me was deriving value from within and jogging.

I wish you luck and Merry Christmas!
Absolutely no bone to pick! I'm from the camp that thinks that every millionaire didn't and doesn't play fair. Having said that, I don't have any issue with these investments visas, given the numbers that we usually see: a few hundred per year, at least in the countries I took a look at.

I do think your original and follow-up comments were just outright racist, though, which's a shame. Perhaps you could take a look at that perception you have, that "russian and chinese don't play fair", and justifying it with "they work too much" and "bullying tactics".

The wrapping of this last comment of yours is quite strange. Telling me to see a psychiatrist and then wishing me merry christmas haha I prefer direct rudeness and name-calling instead of whatever that is. Perhaps you could also take a look at that kind of behaviour and reconsider.

Given that diagnoses are based on physiological divergences that make it difficult to function in society, a neurotypical person is one who does not have these traits, which is most people.
How is it not intentional? To me it seems very clear that someone designed this bot to specifically alter the LICENSE file so that it matches some sort of predefind Microsoft file.

Edit: To give a bit more nuance, I would guess that the actual bot changing the LICENSE files is not a mistake, but working as intended. What could, however, be a mistake is thinking that licenses can be legally overwritten. It wouldn't be a "rogue engineer" kind of mistake. Certainly several people at Microsoft have signed off on this.
Supposedly carbohydrates are a precursor to serotonin, so getting sleepy from carbs could be expected. The neuroscientist Andrew Huberman talks about this in his podcast, eating low carb during the day can maintain alertness, while eating carbs at night are useful to prepare for sleep.

Microsoft has a long and dark history. I think you’re brushing aside the real contention.

People who were around before MS decided to open-source-wash their brand KNOW what Microsoft’s DNA is. They had a literal playbook to crush Linux.
At least here in Germany that's the default. Fire and smoke will absolutely not spread between (fire-)units. Staying put is absolutely fine, obviously if you can get out that's encouraged but with a single set of stairs staying put isn't a death sentence at all.

I have diagnosed adhd and I’m always struck by how much overlap there is between the way autistic and adhd symptoms are described. I definitely identify with a lot of the traits of person 1.

For me, a lot of my issues stem from my being unable to direct my attention towards anything that my brain designates as boring, and away from anything I feel to be exciting. I also naturally drop out of the real world into my own head where there’s a constant movie reel going on of memories, songs, hypothetical situations, whatever. I’ve sometimes been zoning out in my own world and suddenly realized that one of my friends was standing in front of me, waving their arms to get my attention. My eyes were open but I didn’t see them. I tend to miss pieces of conversations and lose touch with people and forget to do things because of these issues. So, I dunno, anyways there’s a lot of overlap.

But I’m a pretty good coder because I visualize the data and the relationships between the data, and figure out how it needs to be transformed. And the only reason I have a career is that I became obsessed with programming as a teenager. So, the neurodiversity giveth and it taketh away.
Many open source projects have been widely used without getting any funding at all. In the last decade a group of bureaucrats have arisen who promote the notion that open source will not function without their gracious presence.

In many cases these bureaucrats destroy working projects for their own benefit (fame, power, salaries they would not get otherwise).

That isn't meant to say that funding is bad in all cases, but reflexively cheering whenever a new fund is announced is naive.

“No one is neurotypical”

“I’m not neurotypical. That statement hurts me”

“It seems that we are in agreement on your first statement. Please help me understand how the second statement can be true.”
I feel the same way[1], but it seems to be a minority view. Even bringing up the ridiculousness of this approach when I see it gets me weird looks from most people. It is really reinforced by movies shows where some hero picks up skills that take a lifetime to master in a weekend montage too.

I think people should be as forgiving as Microsoft would be if someone “accidentally” changed the licence of Microsoft software and started distributing it.
Almost every major holiday is hyper commercialized and stresses people being together and buying things for each other, etc… so from that standpoint it definitely exacerbates the feeling of loneliness for some who can’t/don’t participate. But I don’t think telling someone to just “not feel alone” is a viable solution. Loneliness and being alone are different things. Plenty of people love being alone and in their own thing, plenty of people do not love being lonely.
Naively splitting commands using split() will bite you in the ass eventually. Use shlex.split as the other comment says, or just stop being lazy and craft the argument list carefully, once, and be done with it. Shortcuts here aren’t worth the risk.
I suspect all of those pins are from preloading (arranged by request with Chrome maintainers) and not HPKP. HPKP was supposed to allow for similar security after first use, without needing to interact with maintainers and wait for a browser release, but because of the probability of shooting your own foot, usage was extremely low and it was on the path to removal, last I checked.

Dismiss, Embrace, Extend and Extinguish - if I remember the early histories of Netscape and Java accurately.
Yeah, I'd imagine that for things both Python and Julia can do AD-wise, Python may be preferable since it's interpreted and thus instant-feedback, but all the numerical heavy lifting in packages like Jax and PyTorch is done in fast C++. So you should be getting a more appealing environment for experimentation without losing out on speed.

That's a good question, if a bit charged, but I'd say mid 2016 or thereabouts. But there are plenty of forces pushing the other way and if anything I'd say things are - slowly - improving. But there is no denying that the extremist right has gained a foothold here.
IANAL, but I have written licenses for that purpose. [1] (I'm trying to get them reviewed by a lawyer, but can't afford to; maybe I'll do a GoFundMe.)

What I did is say that if you feed copyrighted software to an algorithm that itself outputs software, then the license applies to the output. This covers the output of compilers and such, but it would also cover Copilot in my opinion. We'll see what a lawyer says.

However, even with a license, I wouldn't doubt that Microsoft would just put it through GitHub anyway because finding them out would be extraordinarily hard.

[1]: https://yzena.com/licenses/
No, it means there's a deluge of status seekers deceiving themselves into thinking they're autistic and then clogging up the system with their diagnosis requests. As I mentioned in a sister comment, many psychiatrists who have autism knowledge and training have stopped doing diagnoses because of this, thus exacerbating the problem.
> The writing is on the wall. You MUST host your own code on a stand-alone website.

Even if Microsoft currently only uses GitHub-hosted code as an input to Copilot, their theory of the legality does not depend on code being hosted there and applies to any code they can get their hands on. The idea that hosting code publicly at some non-GitHub location is going to keep it out of Copilot is not well justified.
In some ways it’s kind of like big old school space science’s Christmas gift that will keep giving for years to come.

That's simply a fact that doesn't need to be argued. Lots of English speakers can't read or write well, because English orthography is bad and hard, or because of dyslexia or blindness. They function in society. They can't do everything, but people who aren't plumbers, programmers, or are terrible at math can't do everything either. They work around it.

What you need to know is that it will make you dumb and stupid, and you'll sit there giggling to yourself incapable of any coherent thought, like a drooling idiot. At least that's what it'll look like from the outside. From the inside, you'll feel like you've opened a door to a magical land of true understanding, like the veneer of convention has peeled off the world and you can finally see the underlying superstruture of reality. So not only do you turn into a drooling idiot, you turn into a delusional drooling idiot.

And then it takes over your life because it takes days to really get down from those dizzying heights of sudden chemical revelation, only you don't realise you're still high so you still think you really made all those lofty realisations. Then you go and have some more because you 're still incapable of rational thought and who's going to stop you anyway? It can be years before something breaks you out of this vivious cycle of making yourself stupid and being too stupid to understand how stupid you have become as a consequence.

So don't do it. Life's too short. Go read a book. Go learn a craft. Go get a hobby. Learn woodcutting. Learn to bake. Learn to cook. Have more sex. Maybe get a degree or two. But don't do shit that burns your brain because you only get one brain. And it is very easy to damage irreparably.

Military. Empty building. Sitting at a desk looking at computer screens. No cellphones allowed. I cannot leave my office because I might not hear my phone ring. Work involves talking to other people in basically the same situation at other bases. Not much real work going on. This is what we call "minimum manning". Everyone retains full capacity to act at any moment but don't actually do anything unless necessary.
A very prominent businessperson being held for allowing her company to commit fraud and violate US sanctions in a country that has an extradition treaty with the US is not the same thing as a country "suddenly" detaining two expats, in an immediate and obvious response to the previous lawful detention. The two Michaels weren't even charged with anything after they had been detained, imprisoned and interrogated for 5+ months! Meanwhile Meng Wanzhou was able to continue living a relatively comfortable life under home arrest. It's not fair to suggest that the average person - Chinese or not - will just randomly be arrested and imprisoned for months in Canada, with no charges filed whatsoever. The same thing happens frequently in China.
