It's not correct that cities look at road throughput with no concern for how long that travel takes. The success criteria that city planners use always includes travel times which are impacted substantially by traffic congestion.

Psychedelic/"breakthrough" doses of psilocybin seem like non-lethal overdoses to me, based on some experience.

It seems both useful and consistently safe/predictable consumed more as a supplement/vitamin, as one already can with OTC Lions Mane. If they legalized psilocybin I'm 100% certain we'd have Lions Mane+Psilocybin combo supplements on store shelves practically overnight. And like Nutmeg, nobody would be reporting ill effects unless deliberately swallowing an excess of them, something we don't bother preventing with Nutmeg or Dramamine despite some pretty nasty potential outcomes.
There’s even a standard for doing this with WebAuthn.
Isn't excess mortality the aggregate? That was way up in 2020 (in the US at least) no? How is this moving death around?
Yeah, they're shifting the goal posts.

Here in city (Seattle) most people drive because transit tends to be spotty and slow for most people.

So, what's the solution? Make driving worse of course. Speedbumps everywhere. Change 4-lane roads to 2-lanes. Remove parking. Lower speed limits to absurd levels. Make through streets dead ends.

Transit still mostly sucks, but now driving sucks too. Success!

I love transit and want more of it, but the transit folks realized it's hard to compete with driving, so they've just given up entirely on making transit great. It's easier to ruin driving.
Not if you build enough roads. This argument just does not hold up. There was less time wasted stuck in traffic in the past. Go with tunnels underground so as not the create the large problems with having surface roads. If your idea theory is right, why don't we just stop maintaining all roads, shut them down, and save a lot of money, if new roads are useless.

Thanks! I think eventually I will move to Windows 11, whenever I do for my own personal desktop.
I think the articles are similar to most articles on a "new" pharmaceutical. They overblow the benefits, misinterpret the underlying study, and just generally want to seduce the reader.

In this case, the phase 1 trial found that psilocybin has a favorable safety profile in a small study, clearing it for larger studies to find rarer side-effects and evaluate efficacy as a treatment. That's basically it. They can't legitimately claim "psilocybin has no short- or long-term detrimental effects" in a study that small. But it's commonly done for this and other pharmaceuticals.

> linux is still far from being a diamond of UI design or consistency

YMMV. I myself am very happy with Gnome and would say it's about as nice to use as a Mac. You can, of course, install ugly applications with horrendous UIs, that use Athena or Motif widgets, limited only to X bitmapped fonts or an ncurses UI that would work on a VT-52, and so on - but that's kind of a feature of Linux - it's Unix and it runs a lot of things originally built in ages long past. It can be consistent if you want, and it can embrace the past in ways no other OS can dream of.

Except, maybe, IBM's z/OS, but that's a completely different beast.
If I worked at Norton and this happened I'd be handing in my resignation on the same day because I wouldn't want to be associated with these practices and for anyone, including future employers, to assume that I was involved in them.

Interesting. That almost sounds like mania/hypomania.

(Not saying that it induced a hypomanic episode, just that all of those fit the description)
Sure, Zion was mentioned in the first movie. As a side-bar, almost a throwaway thing. But the meat of the story is about the drive to free all of humanity from the Marix. In Matrix 2/3 that element entirely disappears and the "resolution" is some sort of truce between the humans and the machines... that doesn't jibe at all with the "destroy the Matrix" idea, IMO.

Anyway... not trying to change anyone's mind here. This is obviously pretty subjective. All I can say is that to me, it's very clear that Matrix 2/3 represent a substantially different (albeit related) story than Matrix 1. If anyone disagrees, well, so be it.
And that's in London which has the highest security in the nation. Outside of London you will almost never see a cop with a gun, and rarely a Taser.

I remember once when I was much younger I was illegally posting signs for an event around the city. There was a complaint and some cops pulled up. They came up and asked "Do you have any dangerous weapons on you, boys?" and I said "Like this?" and whipped a pair of big scissors out of my pocket right to the cop's face. I didn't mean to pull them out so quickly and menacingly, it just happened. The cop jumped back, surprised, and said "Watch it mate! You could have had my eye out!" and then laughed. We all laughed and he told us to stop being naughty. And that was that.

In the USA I would have been superdead.

If you own the NFT, you do.

The way I understand IPFS, the address is based on the sha-256 hash of the content. If no one wants to host your object, or even if the object disappears from the network, you can put it back. Because it is based on a cryptographic hash of the content, no one can reuse the address for anything else, and putting it back won't change the address. This is unlike HTTP where you can lose your domain name, provider or change the referenced content.

So as long as a single person has your object it will not disappear, and as long as a single person is willing to host it, it will stay available, that person can be the owner of the NFT.
The claim in the article is categorical. The claim is that there are no detrimental side effects. In order for that to be true, it must be the case that everyone prefers his personality to be shifted towards being a peace and love hippie. If I don't want my personality shifted that way (and I certainly don't), then that effect of psilocybin counts as detrimental for me, and therefore, the categorical claim being made is simply false.

This recent fad for "fixing" people by taking them on psychedelic trips is creepy.

Apart from the other reasons for code reviews already mentioned, there's this: an inexperienced developer (in a particular area) may not _know_ when a code review is appropriate. A change that looks innocent may have wider consequences than expected. Code reviews spread knowledge, and knowledge is the true output of software engineering.
Your experience is an anecdotal exception, not the norm.

I encourage you to actually read up on the pharmacology of psilocybin: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushrooms.
> What liability are you going to bear for it?

What kind of question is that? They said some stuff on the internet. None, of course, as it should be.

Their point was that if you weren't gonna go crazy and you took a drug and went crazy, then in every sense of the word, the drug _caused_ you to go crazy. Whether you had some latent condition or not is irrelevant.

That certainly would have solved the multiple platform issue, I'm sure gcc has great and easy support for producing VS-compatible dlls, and that there's nothing an ios dev likes to hear more than "you can use GCC to compile libimagequant".
It's very obvious Google is no longer the equivalent of grepping the web. There's some ML/NLP interpretation that's rewarded for returning the substring/interpretation that returns the most/highest ranking results.

It's very noticeable if your search contains a short keyword that has to interpreted in the context of the other keywords. As an example, if I search for 'ARM assembly' plus another keyword (macro, syntax etc) it will see 'ARM assembly' without the extra keyword has way more high ranking results and happily show me how much it knows about armchairs that don't require assembly. Ignoring the fact that the extra keywords are there specifically to limit the search results.

It's tiring, a lot of time I previously spent browsing the limited but valuable results it returned I now have to spend mangling the keywords enough to outsmart their ML/NLP interpretation and get it to admit I am actually asking for the thing I am asking for so I can finally get to the part where I have to solve the modern captcha: click all the results that are:

This isn't quite what you're talking about, but a full-scale IQ test like the WAIS tests a lot more than just the "what is the next symbol in the sequence" kind of IQ test that is associated with Mensa and others.

It contains somewhat open-ended knowledge questions you'd likely have been exposed to in your culture, reaction time tests for finding particular symbols among many others, solving mechanical puzzles, definitions of words you will have encountered, mental arithmetic and others.

This isn't quite the same as measuring one's ability to communicate well, understand others' intentions or influence others. But it does test a much wider spectrum of cognitive skills than what many people believe about IQ.

It's also worth noting that success in the real world also depends on other traits than all the ones we've discussed. Some notable examples which probably aren't talked about so much, is the tendency to stubbornly work through a difficult problem (out of pleasure or innate drive), the capacity to routinely get a lot done or coming up with and thoroughly exploring new (particularly unconventional) ideas.

Beyond a certain point, I'm a bit skeptical that social skills in the absence of other intellectual strengths would generally lead to spectacular success. You won't lead a team to success if you don't know where you're going. Although I suppose you could to a certain degree deduce the right direction from the less eloquently communicated knowledge of others. But that does require the ability to distinguish good ideas from bad.
The author discusses this explicitly in the article.
> Complex cultures pop into and out of existence on the internet every day, and they're no less complex and no less varied

It's astonishing to what degree that comparison misses the mark. No, "complex" cultures don't pop into and out of existence on the internet every day -- "gaming" culture or "sports" culture or "woke twitter" culture are not cultures in the same sense that people living an an area and speaking a common language develop a culture over time. They're not the same thing, and though you might compare them via metaphor they're so different as to make that metaphor misleading.

Amusingly, I've seen this attitude in Esperanto circles. No, there's no "Esperanto" culture in the same sense that I'm culturally North American (for example).

> When they need a culture like my culture again, they'll develop one, probably within years or months.

Culture is not nearly as ephemeral as you're making it out. You can't just develop a culture out of nothing. My "culture" includes not just a common vocabulary but a shared history going back hundreds of years; it includes visual arts, literature, intertwined family histories, the dust bowl, jazz and rock and roll. You can't just find those popping into and out of existence on Discord or Facebook.
I'm glad they've taken precautions and first of all it seems they went very far to make sure everyone was safe. That is paramount.

That said, the obsession with profession psychologist or psychiatrist as some sort of necessary therapy or guidance in use with psychedelics is just baffling to me. I've tripped a lot, the first several of times of which were completely on my own with no one else around. I'm sure there are people out there who would benefit from these sort of professional guidance but it borders on naive gate-keeping to believe these people are somehow necessary for experiencing altered mental states. I fear some suffered not being able to have the chance to explore psychedelics on their own, but instead influenced by the long traditioned history that medical/mental professionals introduce. It's like they're forcing their own color on the experience.

I grew up in Northern VA. Public transit here is a solution looking for a problem. The job centers and commercial are too spread out for public transit to make any sense. Most of the population and jobs in the DC metro area aren’t in DC but spread around in Tysons, Loudoun, Reston, Arlington, Bethesda, etc. The state spent billions building the Silver line out to Tysons, Reston, and Loudoun, and ridership was disappointing even before COVID. (And it’s approximately zero now.) In a traditional hub-and-spoke city like Chicago, heavy rail can bring tons of commuters down to where the jobs are in the core. But when the jobs are spread out all over the spokes, that model breaks down. It’s impossible to take Metro to Reston from most of the surrounding residential areas (all the ones except the narrow slice on the Silver line itself). And it’s a huge pain in the ass to do the spoke-hub-spoke commute and take Metro from a different suburb to Reston. And for married couples, it’s a real roll of the dice whether both your jobs will be easily accessible via Metro.

Rail transit is an anachronism, best suited for the 1950s when life involved a woman staying home with the kids while dad took the train into the city for work. I did that for a year before my wife started her job and it was lovely (took Metro North down from Westchester to Manhattan every day). But in a modern family with two jobs in two locations, plus kids with daycare and school and after school activities, it’s not scalable.

My wife and I are “city people.” We really tried to scale the transit lifestyle. We lived in downtown Baltimore for two years and took Amtrak to work each day. We lived in downtown DC and took Metro. We’ve commutes in the Silver line, Orange line, Blue line, MARC, etc. And every year the service got worse, and every time we had another kid the equation got harder to balance. Eventually we threw in the towel, moved to a red county, and bought an SUV that gets 13 mpg. And we’ve never looked back.

You want to know what the future of America looks like? Go to the Dallas suburbs. That’s where all the immigrants with kids are, and where the next generation of Americans are being raised. It’s a glorious place. And it doesn’t involve public transit.

That's an interesting hypothesis but it wouldn't explain why the data-driven algorithms promote negativity. Perhaps there's another mechanism at work here: e.g. once you've tasted enough sugar in your diet then anything less tastes bitter. Maybe Twitter users walk around addicted to negativity with warped worldviews like the average American walks around addicted to sugar with warped tastes.
The former is psychological. On the latter: citation needed.

Bitcoin doesn't support web3. Ethereum is moving to proof-of-stake, so the resources issue is gonna become a thing of the past. Also using web3 for authentication doesn't broadcast any transaction. So zero resources are used at that point.

The parent did a partner selection before the breeding took place, unless there was rape involved; and I doubt a parent that wants a kid that turns out right goes to: "hmm today I will breed with the disabled person to make for great offspring", no they will select for a mate that they think is good and this choice is implicitly eugenic: they will not declare to be august masters of eugenics but they will look for a good partner to provide healthy offspring.

I grew up in a house that loosely held to beliefs that taking hallucinogenic substances could follow you into subsequent lives (reincarnation type thing). You could literally stain your immortal soul by taking it. That was a scary prohibition. I don't follow those views really any longer, but the worry lingers. Humans are strange.
What do you mean ‘precedent set’? Precedent’s are a legal concept that has no particular meaning here.
Agree. And it was further shameful how the hype machine may have utilized her gender to try and portray her to young women and girls as a role model. When there are plenty of female CEO ushering in successful products like Dr. Lisa Su or whomever.
"I like doing stuff without coordination with my fellow co-workers or towards to goal of my program/business."

I can't count the number of times I've heard this argument by SWEs who think their job is just lines of code vs accomplishing the business goals of a program that pays them. It ultimately boils down to "I don't want to report on what I am doing or how I plan on doing it."
No not at all. Every single parent choosing to breed sociopaths can lead to an unstable society that eats itself. There are many ways such ideas can end in total catastrophe.

Being a sociopath is not an evolutionarily stable strategy.
I haven't seen any research that supports either. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that code review does nothing other than share knowledge, or to learn that it reduces bugs by 50%. I just honestly have no idea, I do code reviews, because we do code reviews.

In fact I have seen alarmingly little research about code management. Code review, standup, agile, etc. does any of it do anything useful? I only came across anecdotal evidence which can be dismissed.
I heard of a prof who in a lecture said "It's obvious that..." and a student challenged him on it. "Is that really obvious?" The professor looked at the board for a minute, then left the room. 45 minutes later, the professor came back and said, "Yes, it's obvious!"

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...
