>almost always follow up with "“don’t do drugs, instead do what I tell you to do. Read my self help book or convert to my religion. My values are the best values.”"

Eh, it's a fine line that once crossed, you don't get to come back from.

I'm glad I stopped drugs when I did. If I could go back in time, I would have never had started doing drugs in my teenage years but unfortunately it was part of my family culture.

The problem with your advice is that it comes with the risk of grievous bodily harm. Not just to one's self, in the case of: if you're predisposed to mental health problems (such as schizophrenia, etc.) or physical health problems (such as heart palpitations or other heart problems), but potentially to other people: if you're using drugs and accidentally affect someone else negatively (physically or emotionally).

I think it's naive to encourage people to do drugs, as it speaks from a place of "Drugs have always been fun and good for me. Therefore they'll always be fun and good for you!" Much like the dogmatic philosophy you mentioned-- no offense, but you seem to be representing a similar dogmatic philosophy but at the other-side of the spectrum (of drug encouragement).

Also, investigating a drug does not in any way guarantee it will not traumatize you or negatively effect you (or others) forever.

Drugs have a high risk of being dangerous, hazardous, addicting, etc.-- that's why they're controlled substances.

Quantity seems like a more reasonable claim. Measuring the 1% of studies with the most citations seems like a misleading indicator of quality.

Launch SubscriptionFlow (YC W22):AI-Based Customizable Revenue Management
SubscriptionFlow is an AI-based customizable revenue management platform that helps SMBs optimize subscription revenue. It monitors user activity to identify customers at risk of churning and automatically alerts the sales team.

For example, eLearning/SaaS/Membership businesses require to monitor subscription usage to improve customer retention. Ecommerce/Magazine companies need to see the subscription trends to cross-sell and upsell products/services.
I've been looking into supabase for a long time, trying to decide if i want to adopt it, but after many months of keeping an eye on them, appwrite comes along and i'm instantly sold. For me it means two things: supabase never really convinced me, and second, i was waiting for someone else to take the lead. Supabase is just fancy ui and marketing, while these guys seem the real deal. For home projects i'll just easily install appwrite(while i cannot do that with supabase after all these months of waiting), and for commercial apps i'm willing to pay appwrite to take care of infra and everything. Way to go guys, hats down and respects

Isn’t Julia a compiled language “pretending” to be interpreted? I thought it was interpreted or JITd up until it’s last release or so when they mentioned it has to actually compile. It’s fast, sure, but is it faster than other compiled languages?
Good points. The speed of the conversations basically ensures there is no conversation. You may attempt to add some reasonable counter points to a controversial point but it's all in vain.

This dramatic promotion of the most unreasonable takes is creating a massive divide between the online world and the offline world. Quite a few takes on Twitter when expressed in the real world, may make you wake up in the hospital.
Writing anything, it's useful to get into the mind of the people who will be using the software. Who are they, what type of work do they do, and why are they looking at the page are a few examples of questions to ponder. Step into their shoes and pretend to look at your page from their point of view. One of the things I've found useful when starting from scratch is to just put something out there and then keep the discussions/issues to communicate with people. If you have enough traffic, folks will ask questions. Each question has the potential for a conversation that lets you understand who these people are and what they're looking for. If you have enough interaction, you'll start seeing patterns (FAQs even) for areas that you can improve in the readme file. After you begin to address the things people care about, you'll see a decrease in the amount of questions in the covered areas, indicating that you're improving the documentation. Essentially, what I did was examine the audience, find a metric to measure progress, and iterate in the hopes of improving the docs.
Trying to understand the functionality of code which is hard to read is also a huge waste of time. You should try to keep the code easy to read even in very early drafts instead of leaving that until the end.

What feud? He was removed from a moribund group blog, and then spent the next several years launching attacks on White's mental health and the propriety of his having adopted children from Asia. Are we sure any of us are better off digging into this? I think we're not.
Ugh, disgusting. Guess I'm never giving money to Brompton.
Bromptons have quite significant compliance built into the frame, I was quite surprised at how smooth they ride compared to other folders.
I was wondering about the same thing. Is there instructions on how to scale the containers. Is it just matter of updating docker compose file or are there other configuration files I need to touch.

Anyone can do this.

Ekata reverse phone is a plugin inside the twilio plugins directory (or whatever they are calling it this week).

I wrote a unix command named 'lookup' which takes a single argument (phone number) and spits out "associated people" in a nice yaml output:

"is_commercial": false,
"associated_people": [
{
"name": "Ms. Amanda Joy Lastname",
"firstname": "Amanda",
"middlename": "Joy",
"lastname": "Lastname",
"relation": "Household",
"id": "Person.02884d55-980e-450c-a1e2-99999999999b"
},

I haven't checked but I'll bet I could get API service (for a fee) from Ekata and query these person IDs they are using and then fill out a whole social graph.

It's a neat trick but other than confirming mobile=true and carrier:

> He just failed to even express mild criticism of it when it was abused and he was discussing the trial

I don't know if I need to dig through however many X podcasts exist here to find examples, but for whatever it's worth I know that Ken criticized criminalization of lying to the FBI during the Trump investigation. You can believe me or not about that, short of digging through a bunch of transcripts I'm not sure what else to say about it other than I didn't notice the silence you're talking about.

> You say that as if nothing got shut down or forced to pay huge security fees due to other people being moved to violence against the speakers, but there were and have been lawsuits over the same.

Ah, first of all there's a difference between private companies doing this and public forums doing this. Not to say that it's never a bad thing if private forums do this, but it's not a heckler's veto in the legal sense. Second of all, it's still improper to characterize things like shouting down a speaker as a heckler's veto, because regardless of whether or not public forums violate that standard and are guilty of allowing a heckler's veto, it's still the case that actual heckling is not a heckler's veto.

But regardless, this is something that Ken criticizes regularly, so I just don't get what the point is. I have seen Ken criticize shouting down speakers and threatening them even when he doesn't like the speakers.

Edit: Okay, I did do a real quick 3-minute search online and not only do I see multiple instances of Popehat criticizing 18 USC 1001, I also see multiple instances of Left-leaning readers accusing him of being too critical of the statute when it's applied to Conservatives (https://nitter.42l.fr/Popehat/status/966388695505952768#m). Again, take from that whatever you'd like.

CUDA came out in 2007. Wikipedia puts the start of the GPU-driven 'deep learning revolution' in 2012 [1] and people have been putting GPUs into their supercomputers since 2012 as well [2]

"toads are a horrible source of 5-MeO-DMT due to the fact that toads of this type contain a variety of other toxins."

Not only that but these toads are at a risk of extinction due to the human demand for their venom.[1]

We also don't know if the toads are harmed by the venom milking process itself. Toads certainly try to get away from humans and don't seem to want to be touched. Squeezing on their glands might be painful for them, though we can't tell because they don't scream or talk, but they do try to get away.

It's ironic that so many people treat these substances as sacred, and yet the animal that has this substance in its body is so often treated without respect and without regard for its existence.

It's doubly sad because synthetic sources of 5-MeO exist, and they don't harm the toad.

Yeah, I feel this way a lot.

In recent years I've done work for companies where it feels like the end result of a lot of very expensive AWS infra is... more expensive, and not really superior to things we had ten years ago when hosting on-prem.

There's a level of scale for which distributed AWS/Azure is necessary, but I'm not sure how many shops need that.

The devops guy at a previous gig thought I was some kind of naive simp for insisting we didn't need a cluster of Amazon's version of Redis. We were storing like, a megabyte of data in there. That's not a typo.

It's not that he was an idiot. Smart guy actually. Not sure if he was just padding his resume with experience ("sure, I've admin'd Redis clusters!") or if he was locked into some kind of default thinking that wouldn't even allow him to consider some kind of minimal setup.

Correct, this is unfortunately how humans work. It has to have that cool factor.
citations != quality

A wrong theory can have many citations (as many experimentalists attempt to falsify it).

Moreover, I've noticed academic circle jerks -- Chinese authors citing other Chinese authors (and this pattern increases citations at a rate greater than N^2, where N is larger for China than the US).

I saw the tweet a few mins after it was posted (thanks to the original article here on HN). We are a small startup and made the call to treat this like an exercise in failover process and ripped Okta out from our systems in around an hour. It was satisfying to see the process work. Original emails to staff were to wait for Okta to weigh in with their response before moving back to SSO but… not sure how that’s looking now given how they’re handling things so far.
> I never thought I'd agree with Chomsky

Curious what the disagreement is, Chomsky is a fairly prolific researcher who has published a lot work. Why would you say this and what is your background?
That's totally cool. We're all entitled to like and value different things. The awesome thing with video games is that because there are so many of them, one can pick from a spectrum of realism. It's not an all-or-nothing problem.

There are a ton of people who value photorealism, and that's why resources are being put into it. And it's certainly not seen as "wastefulness" by those people. Personally, I would absolutely love to be able to put on a pair of VR goggles and be unable to tell if I'm viewing a real-time render, or a remote stereoscopic camera feed of a real scene. Yet, I don't think that fantastical physically-unrealistic rendering is a "wasteful" use of resources.

That is still Brompton money, and the seat position looks terrifying. For a cheap folding bike with gears, my Tern Link B7 was £400 a few year ago (£600 now) and has been all my London transport when I travel down alone. It's a lump (12kg) compared to a Brompton, but it feels very solid to ride and gets into a train luggage rack.

I mean your affirmation re: "centralization of identity".

You can not prove that people identities can/will be easily correlated. If there are people handling multiple avatars successfully, you will see them as two separate entities!
I’m not fully sure I understand your question, particularly the part about scale. By scale do you mean a large organization (I.e. thousands of developers with highly heterogeneous tech stacks), or by scale do you mean a high volume of traffic?

If you mean high volume, I’ve seen people do it with serverless stacks like Google app engine or AWS lambda and some managed databases.

If you mean large organization, then I haven’t heard of anyone doing it without containers or VMs. It’s not that alternatives don’t exist, it’s that it’s nearly impossibly to get everything onto an alternative and containers are extremely flexible. For example, large companies often buy other companies and it’s prohibitively expensive to rebuild it all relative to the cost of putting it in a container and leveraging the build/deploy pipelines that they have already. Same thing with ancient legacy tech, far easier to containerize it than rebuild it.
It's pretty common in the New Left ideology to view any power structure as the opposition to progress and therefore the enemy (this was a big theme particularity from 1960s-1970s that heavily influenced progressives today). So any strong authority system like police and big companies are immediately 'right-wing'.

This of course misses all the nuance in the spectrum of authoritarianism<->liberty found not only in right wing people but just as much among left-wing people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left (note how they used to be the leaders in pro-free speech, which makes sense if you're opposed to authority, but that value has of course been lost on social media - to the dismay of many from the old-school left who fought hard for it)
You can choose between playing evolutionary biology games and hacking your reward function. Hacking your reward function is easy, so many paths towards achieving that (drugs,hobbies,self-hypnosis,spirituality, philosophy, meditation…) winning at the evolutionary biology games isn’t hence why most people drift between trying to win and consoling themselves with a quick hack when they lose. You don’t have to be Floyd Mayweather on one side or a monk on the other, anything in between you’re happy with is fine, as long as you know both paths are open to you.

> Whites are ever so slightly less likely than average to believe that political correctness is a problem in the country: 79 percent of them share this sentiment. Instead, it is Asians (82 percent), Hispanics (87 percent), and American Indians (88 percent) who are most likely to oppose political correctness.

In 30+ years of being a "brown guy" in the U.S., the only thing that's ever really gotten under my skin is the self-righteous paternalism of white liberals when it comes to the social norms related to race and identity. It really gives me an understanding of what working class people (another target of liberal paternalism) must have felt like all these decades...
My last startup was a lean startup. We had a tiny team (1 founder, 1 designer and then me the engineer) we failed because we just didn’t have the resources and spread ourselves thin. Coupled with the fact we opted to wait and raise revenue once we reached a certain amount of users, so all we had was the initial fundraising and YCs lump sum (which just went up) and we really didn’t stand a chance. We had almost no investors interested in the product and I can’t say I blame them.

My current startup has went the other way, initially I thought it was too far in the other direction. But because we have enough people we are hitting our milestones, we are able to have a few people who only interact with customers and investors and that really does make all of the difference.

I didn't interpret the editorial this way. I saw it as articulating a very real problem of eroding cultural norms that welcome and promote pluralism. I don't know why you say "supposed right". It's not a legal right, obviously, but in a sense people have a human right to give a talk at a university without needing a police escort.
> Hard to get all of that in one movie, and the trailers made it seem more Star Wars than Blade Runner.

This is because directors usually don't have anything to do with the trailers (in fact, it's typically outsourced to companies who specialize in making them). Trailers tend to reflect what the studio execs want people to think the movie is about, which trends towards "what gets the most people to buy tickets?"

Sadly, I don't think this will ever change.

I did enjoy the movie, though. Villeneuve really did the book justice, and I cannot wait for part two.
blablacar and mitfahrgelegenheit.de were built primarily for poor-ish people and students. And these are sites/apps which have a good UX for the purpose of finding and booking rides, or offering rides. So I can't agree that you can't get uni students to use something like that. Maybe in the US where seemingly everyone has a car or doesn't need a ride very frequently.

Suggestion: try going on blablacar and booking a ride from Berlin to Munich, or Paris to Lyon. I think you'll find it quite straightforward.

I did and I didn't regret it for a second, it sees tons of use and is pretty much indestructible. The design is timeless and the second hand market for Bromptons is pretty good, they hold their value better than any car I've ever owned. The first five minutes require some care but after that it's super stable and very low on maintenance given the complexity of the folding. It's small enough that it fits the cargo space in my car where it normally lives so that I always have a bike with me wherever I go.

If there is a downside that would be that even though the wheels are quite a bit bigger than the ones of the bike showcased here that the tires are very high pressure and need frequent topping up.
I was mentally prepared for a steep price because of all the "Made in Germany" copy, but it still surprised me when I finally found it.
