Literally first title:

"Antidepressant-like effect of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and other cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis sativa L."

And yes, the majority of the claims are that CBD is the anti-depressant; self-administration of CBD comes primarily from smoking/vaping/ingesting cannabis, so I don't even understand what "cannabidiol, not cannabis" means.

I don't really get the impression that you are arguing in good faith here, especially the "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." part of HN guidelines, so I'm just gonna drop this thread now.
When I was applying for driver's license, I could use a printed webpage of my bank report. Which is trivial to fake, because you can just edit the address in the HTML to whatever you like and print it. I could also use a renting agreement, which of course, is also trivial to fake since they don't verify with the landlord.

I think they just don't actually care where you live that much. And since they'll mail your card to that address, that place has to be associated with you somehow.
> I am very tired of seeing one flag represent my language where that is the newer nation using that language as national language. But that language is spoken for a thousand years or more in other regions.

I'm not disagreeing with your general point, but I'm curious: What language is over a thousand years old and still recognizably the same language?
If it backfires, your advocating is harming the lives and careers of people who never asked for your involvement. That alone would be enough for me to never go near this for any reason at all.
Yes, that's the embarrassment. In the UK at least these things are sorted out at a national level schools share the network from councils which shares it on a national backbone. Frankly given that is the state of things JISC really should have implemented better support for combating these attacks much sooner.
The biggest problem is that up until a while ago a geographical attack used to knock out all resources North of that in the country. Trust me I work around the sector I know it's failings.
My country was cropped out even though it's part of the EU. Silly website.
With "this" being "gone on holiday outside Europe"? Or are you from the States?

I wonder if this whole disagreement is actually about the fact that Americans tend to travel abroad less than those from other Western countries.

That’s just where you’re getting started. The biggest hurdle is you have no reputation (or worse, you’re on a shared provider giving you negative reputation to start), and you have no good way to build that up as an individual person, and no good way to debug/appeal each case as your emails get rejected as possible spam.

Interesting to see this post the day after I saw that Twitter now allows NFT profile pics -- and the same day the prices for the major crypto "currencies" are taking a beating.
I don't know -- I have a friend that just got a payboost to $130k and admitted that she works just 19 hours a week out of 40. "But don't tell my boss."

So I wonder if any of this is really necessary in a remote world. I -- perhaps stupidly -- always put in my 40 hours....
Google already has considerable experience with payments and related compliance matters (specifically KYC and AML). Facebook not so much and I got the sense that they thought they might try to ignore those issues. It didn't work out too well for them.

Nvidia does support Wayland.

For KDE, the issue is: https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtwayland/-/merge_requests/24

You'll have to wait until that gets to your distribution to have a usable KDE experience with NVIDIA on Wayland. In general, if you use those GPUs, please use the latest distributions.

IME they're not necessarily wrong, HWBs without fabric covering (which used to be relatively frequent a few decades back for some reason) would feel really rather cold in the morning, the rubber feels clammy. And because they'd be way too warm early on, you'd push them to one side and get close but not too close. So body heat wouldn't really keep them warm once their eat is expended.

With a woolen cover or padded cotton, the heat release is much slower and more uniform, so the HWB is more comfortable, last a lot longer, and because you only touch (relatively insulating / insulated) fabric it never feels really cold.
You can and should eliminate this particular risk when flashing the OS.
The company behind Tether is Bitfinex. Tether was founded 2014, Binance 2017. This blog post has multiple of its facts wrong or as speculation, while it is still a fact that Tether is super shady.
Yeah. More, why do you assume that martian microbes would not kill us?

We don't just need quarantine to protect life on Mars. We need quarantine to protect life on Earth.

(Presuming that this actually is life, which, despite the tantalizing hints, is still a presumption...)
This reads more like "How to ruin user acquisition at a critical time by being a stubborn jackass". There is no way just supporting the relevant X11 APIs wouldn't have been possible. Both projects live under the same foundation, it should be possible to make it so when an X11 application tries to record the desktop to pop up a notification in the Wayland shell like "App Z wants to record your screen, allow? [Yes] / [No]".

If there was an actual project manager this issue would have been marked "critical" two years ago and fixed. Because actually supporting the software that exists today, and not theoretical future software, is critical for projects that seek to replace foundational OS technologies, e.g. Wayland. I'm not asking for Microsoft-level iron backwards compatibility, but not supporting Zoom during COVID is about the most braindead move I can imagine.

Not that I expect anything to improve, I've been using Linux daily since 2005 and this is par for the course for the Linux "desktop".

But, today linux simply kills any process to free memory. What could prevent a gc (which also serves allocations, not only collects them back) to just do that on an emergency cycle? Destroy a record in a process array and reclaim its pages (of course without doing any allocations on the way, or by using an emergency pool). Or even just reclaim its pages and wait for it to crash on a page fault if you feel lazy.

Dynamic languages only do memory-related ops unpredictably, or is it more than that?
Ask HN: Anyone making a living building desktop applications?
I did ask the same question in 2016 [1] and got some really interesting answers.

I'm still chasing the dream of having a side-business and earning some side money, but with web apps it means mostly SaaS. Personally I hate rent-seeking behaviors (I'm not alone, it seems - "Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software" [2]), so I'm trying to know what people are doing regarding desktop apps.

Are people still building desktop apps? More specifically, can you make a living (or earn some side money) in 2022 by selling a desktop app?
Please share it with us, or are we doomed to build web apps and SaaS for the foreseeable future?

Second time asking, what would you like to see?

If I gave you a screenshot from an instagram comment, what would your rebuttal be?

Would you like an interview with that teen?

Would a discord server full of them satisfy you?

Do you want them to sign addresses with high balances to show they control it? Because thats not going to happen.

The same issue would apply to any segment of the population. Nobody is going to do any of that so how would you prove it for any segment?

If you can go make money in crypto by simply showing up to a chat room looking for workers, but aren't interested in doing so, think about who is. Think about who is then trading these juvenile things. Think about which colorful sensory assaulting NFTs are a hit and which aren't. Match that up with the admissions of people saying "yeah I'm a teen and accumulated and bunch of crypto and flip NFTs to accumulate more". At a certain point there is a consensus you can just rely upon, for your own participation in the economy. That's whats happening here.
I love these guys. I sincerely hope that they are successful and stick around. Keep up the good work!
Toledo's pretty good too, and there's a bunch of smaller cities around that have already shrunk as much as they're going to. Roads are decent too, even though everyone complains about the construction (until they take a trip through Michigan).

Be careful going too cheap, as the rural parts have utterly terrible Internet service. A buddy of mine can't even play Deep Rock Galactic with us and his Discord calls sound robotic.
When people ask me about Ohio, I always whole-hartedly recommend Cincinnati.

But then you added "stuff to do within a reasonable driving distance," and I think that tips the scales in favor of Cleveland.

And if you want to leave the car at home, you can take Amtrak from Cleveland to New York, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C.

I still love Cincinnati, but until international flying gets back in order, it's not an ideal starting point for adventure.
It may change research priorities if we knew/admitted that life used to exist. If there _was_ life, we should search harder and see if it still exists and if we can find it. We could learn a lot of really exciting things from a potentially alien set of living things.

As I understand it, we're really not looking that closely for life at the moment.

They're independent of each other, so flashing the OS can never damage the other chip. Isn't it obvious?
The comparison is not even remotely equivalent.

The statue hasn't been destroyed, it was moved to a different location. Islamic destruction of cultural artifacts for 'blasphemy' is a completely different reasoning because it disregards the value of cultural significance and instead creates an artificial 'metaphysical' reason to destroy something.

If for some reason you think we need a statue around that shows our 'mastery' over the natives and people we stole from their native lands to do work for free, then you are butt-hurt for the worst possible reason and only show your true color.

And if you think we need to teach children to be tolerant of slavery, then you are absolutely wrong for two reasons.

(PS: I think Teddy Roosevelt was a pretty cool guy and wasn't a racist beyond the norms of the time, so it's more a problem of what the statue represents at face value)
I understand roughly what the gem does, but you still need to be aware of it with your app. For example, if every request updates some activity stat, or the last page the user was on (which happens with some apps), you instantly lose pretty much all the benefits, right?

What about redis / sidekiq btw? :)
This interpretation is completely ignorant of the history of this statue, the museum, and Roosevelt.

Roosevelt was a long time champion for the Natural History Museum and the research it did in the natural world. He funded the museum heavily, and then himself led a huge expedition into the Amazon to discover and map one of the main tributaries to the Amazon river, deep in uncharted south american jungle.

This statue was commissioned to represent that specific expedition, and the people next to him represent the people that HELPED his expedition. The creator wanted to INCLUDE them in the historical narrative.

It was a peaceful expedition. They found the tributary and mapped it, despite all nearly dying and contracting malaria. It's actually a famous book describing the expedition called The River or Doubt.
What's your point though? The OP was demonstrating that constructing plurals based on the given pattern does not hold generally. If you're stuck on boxen, then choose some others:

I don't think it's signalling the end of the space, just the end of the hype train.

I think at best we'll see the space shrink back to reflect the value it brings to the market.

Personally my bet is that it brings negative value for most of the use-cases it's being sold for and that the contraction will be large but... completely gone? I doubt it.
Haha... that was a good one, you ALMOST got me there :-)

guess i have to read Das Kapital one of these days -- i have a feeling i wouldn't understand most of it. maybe a Das Kaptial for Kids/Beginners.

not sure on that capitalism->longer working hours arg. probably?

take, say, america. we got weekends around the 1930s maybe? don't quote me. we have a state capitalist economy. which, i guess means we're technically more capitalist than socialist? (even tho it doesn't feel that way to me) and the nature of the US economy as state capitalist has, afaik, been largely the same for our entire history. and yet we started getting days off 100+ years into our existence. and now, 250 years later, there's a movement to get another day off.

i don't know that capitalism has much to say about 4-day vs x-day work weeks. maybe?

i tend to think in terms of, "OK, hypothetical, if I'm rich, how do I keep everyone below me not-rich? right -- make sure they don't have any free time, and if they do have any free time, make sure they're exhausted and/or broke and/or hopeless and/or distracted and/or atomized."

Yes. There’s no question that a bill is a weak piece of evidence for residency. I am sure it only prevents low-effort or low-skill fraudsters, or casual fibs.

The latter is probably where they get the most utility out of these requirements.
My two c, I have been left with a very good impression of people from Penn State and Michigan State, very talented and diligent at work.
I was involved in writing software for a small Fab and there is a big gap in the MES software space. If you want to start a new Fab, you need a manufacturing execution system (MES) to process wafers. This whole MES industry is ripe for innovation. For small Fabs, it’s not possible to afford MES-3000 from Applied Materials ~ multi-million $ license fees and it’s a beast of a system. I’ve had to deal with this ancient dog of a MES written in Coldfusion. Had several conversations with coworkers - “Wonder what the market is like for modern SaaS MES”. It’s a complex problem if you want to auto load recipes and control equipment with SECS/GEM, implement PCS, and run a Fab in the manner like Intel. This is one of the problems with scaling the Fab. Think automotive factory scaling but with expensive precision equipment and garbage software ecosystem.

Regarding growing incivility. I moved from the US to Poland around ‘05. Not long ago I went to the US, Bay Area, for the first time in ten years, on a business trip for my employer. I didn’t expect such a culture shock but the incivility was striking. Every day I would run into absolutely savage behavior while just commuting or getting food. I wasn’t sure what to make of it and this here is the first time I’ve seen Americans discussing civility.

It's been awhile since I used Briar, but unlike something like Signal, Briar is decentralized. So you can communicate with other Briar users in the absence of a central server. Briar at least used to be very strict about how you established contacts, so, for example, to add a contact you had to have them physically in your presence and exchange QR codes on your phone. You couldn't just add someone from your phone contacts, for example, or look up their phone number.

The downside to these things is that Briar tends to use up battery on mobile devices, because it's constantly running to handle the decentralized communications. Also, having to have someone physically in your presence makes it difficult to add someone casually like some other apps.

Some of these things might have changed, as they've been pretty consistent and active in developing the software, and it has evolved over time into offering more and more functionality. In general, Briar development tends to be very conservative about security, but also very encouraging of "robustness" development for lack of a better way of putting it (I think at one time they had an API so that it could be extended to general "off grid" communication protocols, or at least were discussing it).

I'm a little surprised it hasn't gotten more attention over the years, because I think it has been audited and seems very very secure. It also pops up on places like HN from time to time. On the other hand, that conservativism about security makes it sort of impractical for someone who, say, just wants to chat with friends and family.

I think the best comparison is probably with Matrix rather than Signal or Telegram, but Briar lacks the federated component at the moment.

This desktop release is interesting to me because in some ways it represents a major expansion of the software. As I said, they've tended to be very conservative and it's interesting to see it added. It also probably makes it more feasible to treat the desktop instance as a sort of "permanent on" server with access to a power supply instead of running off a battery (to be honest, starting with a desktop service kinda makes more sense to me given the power requirements).

Take this all with a grain of salt because, although I have it on my phone, I haven't actually used it in some time and haven't actively kept up with development in a couple of years.

I wonder why they dont keep it all in Arizona?

Maybe water?

I've read a bunch of newspaper articles from that region recently about how people in Arizona and New Mexico are getting very pissy about water going to new industries. And from what I read on HN, chip manufacturing needs lots of water.

One thing Ohio seems to have plenty of is water. At least compared to places like Arizona.
I think your understanding of this method is wrong. This work is about unifying the training objective across modalities, not training on multiple modalities simultaneously. A single data2vec model is not meant to take different types of data as input, at least as far as I understood it.

Directly from the paper:
"Our work does not perform multimodal training but aims to unify the learning objective for self-supervised learning in different modalities"
