You’re really not telling the story correctly based on evidence you linked below, to quote:

> Fig. 3 shows that, among adolescent-onset persistentcannabis users, within-person IQ decline was apparent regardlessof whether cannabis was used infrequently (median use = 14 d)or frequently (median use = 365 d) in the year before testing. Incontrast, within-person IQ decline was not apparent amongadult-onset persistent cannabis users who used cannabis in-frequently (median use = 6 d) or frequently (median use = 365 d)in the year before testing.

So more specifically smoking weed while your brain is developing seems to be correlated to a decline in IQ later in life. While those who start smoking, even copious amounts, as adults don’t have a permanent decline.

I am cannot find reference to support your claim that people are consuming it younger than before.

If you’re going to cite studies, you could at least represent the findings honestly. Also, it’s pretty apparent you’re trying to sell a narrative to others to induce fear of marijuana… this is a post about lead poisoning after all. Quite the leap, IMHO, to compare it marijuana use…

The paper you linked below and incorrectly summarized for anyone curious: https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1206820109
Those are entirely different concepts.

"Confronting one's fears" is usually about forcing yourself to accept and internalize that your fears are unfounded. Good examples are a fear of roller coasters, fear of flying, or basically anything else that is 99.999% harmless.

Talking through problems is way to guide you (and potentially another person) into understanding, acceptance, and compromise.
> I’m sorry, but that isn’t really a counter point unless you have some cases to back it up.

My counter example is about exactly as detailed as the author's example. Of course I was being tongue-and-cheek, but clearly standardization has worked in software.

You can toss your example right on top of all of the other failed attempts at standardization. It in no-way supports the conclusion that "standardization" is a problem. Like I said, I agree with the author's argument, but their conclusion is not supported by that argument. There are many failure modes to large projects.
I disagree. There can and should be a Nato intervention. Maybe Ww3 is what follows next but that doesnt mean it will be a nuclear desaster. If we can send stingers we can send jets. If we can send jets we can send pilots. Step be step we can increase pressure. Putin is a strategic player, he is cold blooded not red headed.
When I was a university student, I taught a lot of my friends how to cook simple things. I made pasta for my roommates and taught them how to make it themselves. One roommate was getting the hang of things, and would assist me. He went to start rice, and made the rather fair assumption that it'd be just like making pasta, so he salted the water a similar amount. When the water had cooked off, it was some very salty rice we had.
Since you mentioned FFT, I wondered whether GPU-based computation would be useful for audio DSP. But then, lots of audio DSP operations run perfectly well even on a low-end CPU. Also, as one tries to reduce latency, the buffer size decreases, thus reducing the potential to exploit parallelism, and I'm guessing that going to the GPU and back adds latency. Still, I guess GPU-based audio DSP could be useful for batch processing.
Yea I only believe propaganda on facebook, who even uses phones anymore anyway? Clearly this is a CIA op
> If you trust the repository to deliver to you the expected signing key and the package to be verified you’ve gained nothing and introduced complexity.

If you've been using a package for some time and suddenly the key changes, that's auditable. It won't impact anyone whose first use is after that point, and it's unlikely that end users will care, but for an organization, sure, that's meaningful. I'd go open an issue and ask why that happened, and pay attention to that commit.

> What you’re not doing, and what there is no method of doing to my knowledge, is gaining any assurance that the person whose identity you’ve verified has any right to sign the package you’re verifying.

Presumably we can just do what the web does with certificates tied to domains.

> Another suggestion I’ve seen is adopting a model similar to that of SSH, that is the first time you install a package you’re prompted to accept the key and from then on out it will remember that and use that as the trusted key.

Ah nice, this addresses my first point.

> Packages on PyPI change hands, get deleted, or even have multiple authorized releasers.

This is a feature :P

I definitely want to know if a package changes hands!

As for having multiple keys valid for a single package, I feel like that isn't much of an issue? I think we can look at certificates again for how this would work.

> If they go to PyPI to find out then we are back again at trusting the repository implicitly. If they don’t go to PyPI they are most likely to just hit whatever lets them install, training them to just do what it takes to install and ignore the warnings and prompts

For users, yes. For organizations, no. I'll absolutely investigate why a key changed. And when I see that it's malicious I'll let users know, just cause I'm so nice.

> Even if we wave our hands and give ourselves the perfect way to transmit trust, as long as PyPI is the authority over who owns a particular name then we must implicitly trust PyPI to tell us who is allowed to release which packages.

I'm confused by this part. Why is that the case? If I sign on my machine before I push to PyPI, how would PyPI be the authority? Unless this is referring to "PyPI can change the public key", which is true, but as I mentioned that's auditable and will raise lots of flags.

> It’s important to remember that the only thing any of these systems are able to verify is that the package you’ve fetched is the package you wanted, nothing more.

For sure.

> This isn’t an already solved problem nor is it an easy to solve one.

Yeah, unfortunately the tooling just isn't really there, so the UX is weak, so no one does it... and it's hard to go back and retroactively do so. In an ideal world this would all sort of Just Work, and it would be universal, so you could cryptographically verify your packages, your commits, your builds, your binaries, your containers, etc.

I wouldn't blame anyone for not doing these things today. There's no support for it. But if we got support, it would be a win.
Right, I think you could say a binary tree is a kind of B-tree, though.
Every little bit helps. And Youtube may be the only way a lot of Russians can get exposed to something else than their TV.
I confess I didn't read the article but I found your article interesting. You didn't mention age in your comment. Anecdotally looks seem to matter less once you are in your mid thirties and above.
Every post on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine is coopted by the same narratives. Whataboutism, US centric idea that everything in the world is because of the US, CNN brought up for no reason, someone trying to explain how literally everything is propaganda. It's boring.
The XOR trick also introduces data dependencies that makes it slower on some CPUs (can’t start the second XOR until the result of the first is available, or the third one until the result of the second is available)

When using a third register, CPUs with register renaming need not even move data at all. They could move the labels “register A”, “register B” around.
For the value of an anecdote: in my grieving process, I tried several forms of catharsis: hitting a heavy bag, yelling, running and biking angry. In every case, it made me more angry. I got worse. The anger turned inward. It wasn't until I stopped that approach that I made any progress in my grief.

> Any sort of cathartic experience would necessarily be self-reported and we all know the accuracy of self-report studies.

That's not true. In the article, they mention observational studies wherein folks who vent are more likely to lash out. That isn't self-reporting.

So after following the most important Indie Hacker mantra of speaking to customers, I refined the checkout to only require an email address instead of SSO full signup.

“ Ideally, the resource gets used at 100% of its capacity “

Really this is what people think? For me it’s always been the opposite, use as little as possible to leave a lot head room, as much as possible. That’s like saying a gas guzzling car is more efficient than one that uses much less fuel.

Supposedly Beethoven's music is noticeably different as he began to go deaf later in life (I've heard stories that he had a piano with the legs removed so he could feel the vibrations through the floor).

There is a "definitive" question that often cannot be answered; similar to over-analyzing anything - just trying to "say" what the word is may not be desirable or possible.

And subtitling itself is an art I feel, you can really tell the cheap vs well done ones. And it's interesting to see how things are clarified (and lost) sometimes; we do the same where we always have the subtitles on.

I've always felt there's room for jokes that nobody will see unless they have subtitles on, for example, imagine a standard high-school comedy, the nerdy kid is going to school and the happy music is playing and the subtitle says [UPBEAT MUSIC] - but suddenly the music turns darker and the subtitle changes to [BEATUP MUSIC].

> I've been interested in whether technical work actually hurts social skills.

Correlation isn't causation. Hurt social skills could also lead to more interest in technical work. ALOT of SWEs aren't interested in people management for that reason, and its a blessing that FAANGs allow people to advance on IC tracks (though still developing some communication skills are necessary as your level rises).

As for if practicing social skills hurts technical skills, well, it is taking away time from practicing them so there should be some negative effect. A full time people manager often simply doesn't have much time to apply their technical skills as much as they'd like.

> Shortwave radio station that is possible to tune to in Moscow and beyond, where they can listen to people they have known before, would have much bigger impact. Like Radio Free Europe did.

This is what should be done. Random people calling on the phone and trying to "tell you what's really happening" is not going to work, especially in a place like Russia. Shortwave radio is perfect for this.

The great thing about Shortwave radio is that radios are cheap, low powered and easy to hide. The infrastructure is already out there and due to the Cold War, Russians are already familiar with it.
When I bang my thumb with a hammer I yell FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK as loud as I can, are you telling me that doesn't make the pain less? I'm almost 100% certain that form of catharsis works. It even works in reverse for me, if I'm having a moment of intense emotional strain, punching the wall (also yelling fuck as loud as possible) resets my brain. To say catharsis doesn't work seems to be a limitation of the definition of catharsis in these studies.
So, it doesn't do any good and possibly gets innocent people hurt? And this is something I should take time out of my day to do?
It does seem weird to me that about 5-10% of a grocery store is bottles of alcohol.
I think they've missed the point.

Venting isn't for catharsis; It's for seeking validation. When you vent TO someone and they lend a sympathetic ear, it's a huge help.

Venting is a social bonding ritual.

You generally don't get this online because most of the audience is NOT sympathetic, so you'll get criticism after criticism, making things even worse.

As for parking, consumers of the parking should be paying for it directly. "Free" street parking is not free and takes up considerable space. Parking minimums for many building types require an excess of parking that leaves vast asphalt pads empty most of the time.
Afaict, the person complaining is a Russian passport holder but not a resident of Russia. They aren't trying to do business in or with Russia.
One of the most stressful projects I ever worked on had a really great way of dealing with the stress (a policy that I created).

Every meeting, at the beginning of the meeting, everybody was required to complain for 5 minutes. Just talk about all the stupid decisions that got us to this point, how unreasonable the timeline was, any staffing issues you were having, any parts you needed, etc. 5 minutes. You are required to complain.

It helped a LOT, and almost a decade later when I interact with that team, we still all look back glowingly on that practice as something good.

It was a tense project, and that "you have to complain for 5 minutes" completely broke all of the tension, and let us all work together effectively. If we hadn't implemented that policy, we might not have finished the project on time.
>The only way to stop the Russian aggression is to negotiate with their government.

One who does not know history is doomed to repeat it.

Hitler and Stalin made a pact to divide countries in Europe and split Poland. When Hitler attacked Poland, Stalin waited two weeks instead and attacked only when Hitler had become the bad guy. After attacking Poland Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, so Hitler had to occupy France.

Stalin had a plan to wait until Hitler is done in Europe and then attack from rear but Hitler's intelligence service got sniff of this and Germans made a half cooked plan to attack Russia instead and destroy their forces when they were not expecting it. The amount of equipment next to the border destroyed by Germans was horrifyingly huge for Germans.

I am not saying that Hitler was not the bad guy. He definitely was but Stalin was an equal player and because he got more time and more people to kill, he actually ended up mass murdering more people than Hitler did.

Fortunate for us at least one bad guy was stopped but the world would be much better place right now when Americans would have destroyed also Stalin as they initially planned when they realized what kind of monster he is.

Instead we have to live in the world where Russia is glorifying a mass murderer and is dreaming to annex at least the same amount of land as Stalin did.

Can you cite specific examples of the public health establishment pushing juice as healthy? I got a minor in nutrition over a decade ago and back then, public health officials were very quick to call out the juice industry for its predatory tactics on kids and false equivalencies. This doesn't match my experience in university at all.

I'm not concerned with hypocrisy, we're all hypocrites. My concern is that they didn't even consider dealing with accusations of hypocrisy. They don't care, because the level of politics is so low that I'd start comparing it to tribal warfare. Just get the tribe members riled up to do what we want, no one is going to meaningfully challenge what we do anyway.

They're setting us all up to mindlessly support their reckless "missions". And this shows they're not competent in creating or managing a stable system, and have devolved to the level of small tribes in terms of political thought.

Feels like calls like these are pretty easy to filter out just by looking at the metadata (ie. random incoming call from the west). On the other hand random calls like this definitely fuels the "foreign interference" that the FSB is probably pushing right now, and would make it more trustworthy.

This is crediting the citizens for something achieved by fundamentally different systems of governance and people in power. Yeah the Iraq war eventually was seen as a mistake, if you believe the polls it still took 2-3 years to convince people of that fact, it still took far many more years to pull out. At some point we have to recognize the fact that a citizen _not_ protesting something isn't a sign of support so much as its a recognition of the fact that even millions on the street doesn't necessarily achieve anything.

Article also mentioned the “The thoughts you water are the ones that grow" idiom.

CBT is often about reframing or "reconstrueing" a negative or damaging viewpoint into something less emotionally charged. Venting is just watering and reinforcing the emotionally charged pathways -- the "gasoline on a fire" analogy.
