So basically this was a theory that came out around when LSD was discovered to impact the serotonin system.

It never really panned out but psychiatrists continue to use it. They will say it’s like a metaphor to get people to accept taking medications.

When I was confronted w diagnosis of Biploar / schizoaffective and having suicidal depression and psychotic mania — over a decade ago, I basically landed at… the tribe of psychiatry calls the dance I’m doing a certain thing, but their solutions are really not that sound and we can do better.

So, I didn’t continue to ignore what was going on, but I went on a personal research mission and took on my diagnosis as a dharma, not a dogma.

Ultimately I was able to address the underlying trauma, relationship patterns and language patterns that lead to all of those things, and now lead a life filled with joy, deep calm, gratitude and possibility, with no medications — despite what the standford psychiatrists said was possible.

Psychedelics helped as well, and I went on to run an underground clinic in NYC for a few years before they were mainstream; I developed a Breathwork practice that helped as well (without drugs) BioMythic.com, and founded a non-profit w funding from Doc Bronners to legalize access to psychedelic medicines.

Also realized the path I was on was really about developing a capacity for deep presence and leadership as founders from Unicorn startups began showing up at my door so to speak to help them master their inner landscapes so they could articulate their bigger visions.

I’ve had the honor to be the personal coach on relationship, spirituality, mental wellness and leadership for some of the biggest names in tech.

And for me, it was ultimately a discovery that this “thing” that was causing me pain and I was told I needed to medicate away, was actually my greatest gift. And now it’s allowed me to run a multi six figure coaching business for a few hours of client calls a week, while touring around the country in MajikBus.co

Anyhow, long rant, but I found other peoples stories really helpful when I was finding my way outside the main stream!
I think overall the wikipedia model has shown itself to be decently working.

But (anecdata) I have my gripes with the way it handles evidence.

My SO has a person (died already) in her family with a (relatively) short wikipedia entry. There are factual errors in the article. We know that, because we have original documents showing that the "facts" reportet in the entry are wrong.

Due to the fact that the documents cannot be published online without breaking copyright laws we can't point to a correction.

She communicated with an editor (or whatever his role was, but he had the right to approve or deny changes to the entry) who stated he could only allow changes to the "facts" if my SO could point to an online source (a credible one he said). Else he would deny changing anything. Or she should upload the documents to wikipedia if she had copyright on them.

He didn't accept the idea to send the documents to him as proof. He made it clear that it is either the wikipedia way of determining the truth or none.

We stopped. Since then I am asking myself how much of wikipedia is actually wrong and actively or passively denied from correction by these gate keepers.

Wikipedia could offer a way to upload documents for editors to review without automatically making them publicly available. This would enable fact checking and correction.

I had heard of it before but since this personal experience with German Wikipedia's "Blockwart" mentality I will never consider them a valid organisation for donations.
This should not be flagged; it's based on a major publication by well-respected scientists working with physical evidence.

> I have seen talk pages where the same three editors who seem to be part of the same echo chamber discussing issues preventing any alternative opinion or tone to come in the article.

This pretty much describes the problem with Wikipedia, but it's highly cryptic because possibly 95% of people are never going to realize this because I don't think they even know a Talk page exists for every article. I read lots of scientific articles and I always visit the Talk pages even when I haven't spotted any errors in the article content. There's tons of crazy petty shit that goes on between the people who edit Wikipedia articles. Whether something is considered a valid source for citation depends on which part of Wikipedia's inner circle you're talking to; in some articles, contributors are shouted down because "blogs aren't authoritative" even when they're the subject falls outside mainstream media and blogs are most proximal to the subject, but in other cases I've seen blogs be considered to be perfectly adequate when it's totally inappropriate. When it comes to anything even remotely tied to news and current events, you might as well skip Wikipedia and just read MSM news articles because those are really what Wikipedia largely considers "authoritative" no matter how biased the mainstream articles actually are. I've even seen totally legit edits and sources being ultimately rejected after a person answers every question of the [obstinate] editor because "nuh uh".

Sadly, I cannot edit Wikipedia myself even though I've never even tried doing so. Even if I'm not using a VPN, it just flat out rejects my IP from even attempting to sign up.

This is how Wikipedia can either fix itself or how someone can replace Wikipedia:

- Be run by an accountable benevolent dictator who can ultimately veto any form of democracy present in the system; ultimately everything hinges on management no matter how the system is configured

- Charge people money to edit Wikipedia (imo this would fix many of the content moderation problems on the internet as a whole at the cost of fewer active users)

- Be transparent about who is in charge (Wikipedia obfuscates this with a facade that suggests that users are no different from one another, which is anything but the truth in 2022)

- Refine official policies around authoritative sources, because right now any existing policies aren't working very well
there were a limited number of scientists and articles that said that, and they were wrong. it wasn't the mainstream position that it was racist to suggest it came from a scientific lab in China.
I still send them money (even though they have plenty of money) because I feel that despite its human flaws, it's still a better objective representation of 'the facts' than any other source on the planet. If, in fact, the editors are biased, but still represent a more objective viewpoint than those given to greater speculative possibilities, the public is still better served than if they are subjected to a cacophony of unsupported opinions.
Either all of social media should be white supremacist, holocaust denying 4 Chan, or it is those platforms' responsibility to enforce thought-crime intervention.

Obviously, I'm aware that billionaires can't just liquidate their net worth.

I'm just using the analogy to show just how much more wealthy a billionaire is than a millionaire. For example, millionaires on TV news or playing football for your favorite NFL teams are like minimum wage employees when you consider their relative wealth compared to the owners of those organizations.

The point of the analogy is to show just how much the wealthiest of the wealthy really are, to show that these oligarchs are powerful on the level of a state, on the level of millions of regular people.

You used the boogeyman word, "socialists." In my opinion, capitalist education teaches us to fear "wealth redistribution," but it's not even really about wealth redistribution. It's about excess wealth inequality prevention.

When a small group of people become wildly more wealthy than everyone else, even more wildly wealthy than major business owners and CEOs, they become unelected oligarchs that control the state.

So, if your main argument is "socialism bad," I'd encourage you to think of it more along the lines of wealth and power inequality. I think oligarchs want to distort this message and make it sound like "socialists" are trying to force everyone to make the exact same wage, or increase taxes on regular people, or enact a "nanny state."

Not a lot of people want to end capitalism entirely, they just don't want there to be people out there who are so wealthy and powerful that they can control governments without being fairly and freely elected. They want a relatively level playing field where the best ideas win, not the ideas that come from the people with outsized influence.
Get a quasi-referencable source like a Forbes blog written, and later refer to it.

Wikipedia is great for a low level consensus, but if you actually know anything about many of the subjects it’s hilariously bad.
I'm, time to time, sending some money to the foundation. The work are great and help people a lot. But I know there are biased pages... But I'm not sure we are in the same page here: can you post some of the pages you found violates neutrality? Edit: Also the best way to fix wikipedia always will be reading more books, specially from the XX century. Maybe I'm a XX's century biased person.
Yes! Formally verified implementations of Elliptic Curve algorithms http://adam.chlipala.net/theses/andreser_meng.pdf.

This is a Russian government Ilyushin currently en route from St. Petersburg to Washington. As the United States has a Russia flight ban, assumptions are that the airplane has special authorization.

What were Russias wars since ussr collapse?

- Chechnya (internal hence doesn't matter)

- Georgia 2008 (after they aligned with the US and decided to join nato)

- Ukraine 2014 (pretty much the same reason)

- Ukraine 2022 (once nato-ukraine relationships were intensifying at unprecedented rate in 2021)

All of these actions were reactions to what putin considers to be crossing of "the red lines" made clear like 20 yrs ago.

I’ve never seen a formatter cause merge or blame issues, but that could be because I always have them run on a precommit hook and even then always squash all commits on a PR so there is never a commit in mainline history solely for code format. I would not admit a PR solely for formatting, either.

Git history trumps code style IMO, I would not e.g. add a formatter to a legacy codebase and then reformat everything, or do so after changing a rule. Only diffs get formatted.
Trump was nominated for a Nobel peace price, but the West hardly looked up to him as a savior...

Right, it's all open source, but you could be making after-work contributions to open source projects that might not be in the interest of Red Hat, and that's perfectly fine.

The policy is public: https://www.redhat.com/licenses/RH_CoC-June_2020_Eng.pdf

"Participation in an open source community project, whether maintained by the Company or by another commercial or non-commercial entity or organization, does not constitute a conflict of interest even where you may make a determination in the interest of the project that is adverse to the Company’s interests."

A lot of employees were concerned about losing this after the IBM acquisition, but the former CEO made a lot of promises to us especially to protecting our autonomy, and (so far) IBM has kept those commitments to us.

I cannot imagine a more open source friendly place to work. I'm constantly surprised by how other companies operate open source projects or treat their employees who want to contribute to them (at work or otherwise). Unfortunately as Red Hat gets larger, we hire more people without that love of open source and they want to do things differently, but thankfully they don't get much traction.
You are assuming Putin would be the president of Russia if "The US was an inept backwater that had no foreign policy".

Even more amazingly the invasion article on the Russian wikipedia was really good as well (as of a few days ago).
I mentioned it because the AZOV Battallion are official paid members of Ukraine’s National Guard and have been since before 2014. I think that makes it worth mentioning.

How many other countries (that the West defends) can claim to have openly employed neo-Nazis officially by the Government for as long as Ukraine?

I am old enough to remember when an entire Canadian trucker convoy protest movement was smeared as Nazis because 1 protester held 1 nazi flag on the 1st day of a 24 day protest before being asked to leave by other protesters.

Checks notes - That was only a couple weeks ago.

Now it seems that so many are willing to look the other way or even apologize for employing literal Nazis with guns simply because these Nazis are fighting for the ‘right’ side.

For the record, it is OK to support Ukraine’s right to defend itself, while also denouncing the decision to employ Nazis.

A few weeks ago, I would have expected nothing less from HN. Suddenly it seems the rules have changed?

Shaking my head, I don’t understand.

It's an optional request by the Office of the Surgeon General for data on which types of people saw misleading information about covid. There isn't anything in the request related to reporting of the producers of the information, and there is no penalty for not providing the data.

Apart from the intellectual clarity, you don't need to employ all of the tools in this text to benefit practically from some use of formal verification, etc. If you're using a statically typed language, you're likely already benefiting from at least some degree of verification. Your types encode your specification.

One example close to home for me and from industry is a dependently typed language we are working on at my company that's used to encode validations and transformations for transaction reporting (other teams have also begun to use the language for other uses). Consistency is ensured by the type checker and the compiler subsequently generates the aforementioned transformation and validation functions that are used in production. This is admittedly a very niche application, but as I've already written, the use of static analysis admits a range of rigor—it's not either/or—so it's a question of determining the appropriate degree of formality for your particular case.

> They have too much market power and it lets them get away with too much hamfisted behavior without losing users.

I agree, but Section 230 also contributes to this. It eliminates the legal consequences for that hamfisted behavior and enables these sites to grow far beyond their ability to properly manage the site.

It's often been said that clumsy AI moderation is necessary because there's no other way to moderate sites with so many users. If true, I see that as an argument against enabling sites to grow "too big to moderate" rather than an argument for excusing hamfisted behavior.
How do you know that Putin would still have invaded? For this you first have to know why he invaded. The most plausible reason - at least to me - is what Putin himself said over and over again, Ukraine becoming a NATO member. There are certainly other things to be gained - Ukraine's oil and gas resources, Crimea with the strategically important naval base in Sevastopol, water supply for Crimea, easier to defend borders, protection of the Russian minority and probably more - but I don't think they carry as much weight as Putin's security concerns.

This is not too different from the Cuban Missile Crisis. How would the USA react today if Russia attempted to put missiles on Cuba, for defensive purposes of course? Or better, how would they have reacted 15 years ago so that we keep the Ukraine conflict out of this thought experiment?

In no way do I want to defend this war, I want to see Putin defeated as much as everyone else, but unfortunately this is what you get if there are incompatible interests and no one backs down or tries to reach a compromise.
Can you elaborate on this? I've seen a lot of reporting across various outlets on how Ukraine is impacting the markets. What is the side of the Ukraine conflict that you're not seeing being reported right now that you wish would be?

I've still got the original Sinclair ZX81 bought in March 1981 (but not delivered until 1st week of June 1981 due to demand) and it still works, even with its wobbly 16KiB RAM Pack!

Much fun was had programming in machine language by looking up op-codes in Rodney Zak's "Programming the Z80" and counting the clock cycles to figure out the most efficient set of op-codes. As I recall the fastest op-code requires 4 clock cycles but some instructions would need more than 10 so much performance could be gained by knowing and optimising. This was before there was a Z80 assembler available so the hex of those op-codes had to be typed and POKEd into memory from the BASIC interpreter.

A side-note - don't forget the ZX81 was preceded by the Sinclair ZX80 in 1980 [0].
Totally awkward, but it is not 100% of it, isn't it?
