It's a lot less than 1%, but best to take psychedelics with (1) a deep knowledge of what's actually happening[1] and (2) confidence in your support network both during the experience and after.

A bad trip is not necessarily bad—it's information about further work to do. If you don't already have a handle on how to do that kind of work without psychedelics, there's definitely a chance you'll end up stuck, possibly with symptoms you don't want. But it's not just a dice-roll.

Your calculus may also change if you consider the possibility that your life could potentially be 10x or 100x better after investigation & development (via psychedelics or other means). From that perspective, psychedelics can be seen merely as a spiritual power tool. Great for gross cuts, best wielded with precautions in place, and not the right tool for finishing work.

I have followed military aircraft technology for decades. Development costs for systems have risen very high.

There are some systems like fighters in Europe, that are made by multiple small manufacturers. As a result the build quantities are low and costs high. Old systems are never renewed. They don't do well in export competitions. Some manufacturers are geographically located in one country like Dassault. SAAB is very much in Sweden with some US components.

One solution to this would be to just make each project a large international megaproject, have most of the manufacturers in Europe coordinate. But this kills competition and makes projects complicated. There is a another method too.

Instead, share basic research and build prototypes and share the lessons from those. Have manufacturers form multiple co-operating international alliances to compete for each program. Sustain multiple programs, even if it means some duplicity. Competition and independent capabilities are more important.

>What if the people you trained for grip strength also started taking care of their health in general (eg. eating better and moving more often), after starting your grip strengthening exercises?

If caring more for their general health was "caused" by grip strength training than grip strength training is still causative for increasing lifespan.

Think about it. Prescribing grip strength training in this case will indeed increase lifespan if what I said above were true. But the claim people are making here is that the correlation has no causative relation... that prescribing grip strength training WILL NOT cause lifespan to increase.

In fact, everything the article claims is true if the scenario you described is real.

You're thinking about direct causation which is hard to define. If running increases heart health which increases lifespan... which caused lifespan to increase? Heart health or running? The most elegant definition is to say both do. But then again being born is causative to increased lifespan as well but making a statement saying birth causes increased lifespan isn't a meaningful statement.

The nature of causation is a chain of events leading all the way back to the beginning of time. All events in that chain caused the most recent event in the chain. Reality is, in fact, made up of single tree of causative events and multiple linked chains, where ancestors in the tree are said to be causative.

Sibling nodes and events that don't have an ancestor relationship at best can only share a correlation (aka common ancestor).

That's a stretch and i find it unlikely, but it's not like we have numbers. However, macOS makes it hard to run random software ( like a utility from GitHub) with their code signing "security" stuff ( working around it is anything but intuitive).

I suspect it's connected to the political rejection of post-modernism (in its actual meaning, not the politically loaded meaning) and with it the Enlightement ideas of reason/rationality (replaced by 'winners' - brazenness and aggression), fact (replaced by 'post-truth'), intellect, universal rights and humanitarianism (replaced by nationalism and reactionaryism), and through those things the power and obligation of humans to better their world and themselves. That rejection was widely normalized, I suspect, in the election of 2016, IME. A problem with talking about these things is a factual basis.

Is there some sort of correlation with uptick in seismic activity, I mean are we in seeing normal activity, or is there indeed a lot more going on than 'usual'?

Maybe it's just some synchronicity and I'm just more 'aware' because of all the other natural disasters, and non-natural, but it just 'feels' like something big is coming because of all the volcanoes, tsunami's, and other reports of activity.

Also, how much does climate change affect volcanoes, and earthquakes?
This display spanning issue exists in Windows but I think Microsoft made the right trade off by just allowing that one thing to behave strangely.

The network has now been poached to death by the typical influencer expert user looking to build a brand or grow some kind of following.

This happens to all new social networks now because new and novel marketing channels give the best ROI, and influencers want to suck these dry before users become harder to influence.

Show HN: Free Hosted JupyerLab with GPU
Hi,

This is Dan and Genevieve from Burstable AI. We've iterated and made a 45 degree pivot, taking what we learned from developing burst (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28191459) to introduce a cloud service that provides access to a GPU-enabled machine using Jupyterlab to provide notebooks, shell access, and a code/text editor. GPU access is measured and the first 50 hours are free.

This is *not* a platform to do crypto mining or run weeks of model training for free. We are focused on the R & D phase of modern AI/ML, where developers/scientists are iterating, testing, and measuring results. We are running a beta program with a few seats left to get feedback and constructive directions for how to make Cloudburst a killer environment for modern exploratory AI/ML research, whether you are a high-school student hacking on the weekend, a small team at a startup, or a consultant building ML pipelines for SmB's (or some other user story we haven't thought of yet).

Presently, signup is through your github account. If you have questions, please email us at beta@cloudburst.host.

Thanks to all our beta folks!

Nope. I've been left stranded by Google over and over.

Talk to all the happy GSuite/Free users around now. Or people who developed Chrome Extensions prior to Manifest V3. Or who were banned from Google Fi, Youtube, or your app store of choice by an automated, broken algorithm. Or who developed Workspace Docs prior to mandatory security audits at price points which will break most independent developers. Or....

The key difference is Microsoft has exactly 2 or 3 things on the entire list where any users were left stranded. For Google, you're a statistic. If a change breaks 10,000 small businesses, Google looks at the impact on their bottom line, and goes ahead with the change.

Microsoft bends over backwards to NOT do this. AWS as well. It's not that it never happens, but if you've bet on your business on Google, you're basically guaranteed it will happen at one point or another.
Europe has taken in a lot of refugees from Syria, especially for a conflict much much further away than Ukraine. This conflict is also in Europe's backyard stemming from a power they have been diametrically opposed to since WW2. Of course European's are going to care about that more than a civil war in the Middle East. What do they expect?

What makes this even more infuriating is that this is published by a Gulf publication whose countries have done 0 to help Syrian refugees during the civil war. We and Lebanon have taken the most refugees throughout the conflict while we are poor and, in the case of Lebanon, financially and politically unstable. At least the Europeans are helping each other, we got none of that from the despotic and corrupt rulers in the region.
> the classic western doctrine "few and well armed" have failed the real life test.

I'm really not seeing where or how you've come to this conclusion. Desert Storm and Iraq show the uselessness of low tech boots on the ground. Not even just the Iraqi side, most Western troops went on a long unoposed jaunt through the desert rather than fighting an enemy. I really don't see how an adversary is going to stay motivated after something like the air war before Desert Storm. Utter helplessness on the ground as 100s of aircraft and standoff munitions hit their targets. Sure guerilla war may continue but it remains to be seen how well guerilla warfare will work with 100s of advanced drones loitering overhead.
Just wanted to say I love the style of your blog (especially the little diagrams), and am looking forward to future posts in the ECS series.

At first I thought that was kinda crazy, cause he'd 'know' pretty quick it was a volcano, but then I realized some of the 'deadmen switches' are triggered by seismic actions, or at least that's what I'd heard/read elsewhere, maybe it's not. Would kinda suck if something automatically launched because of a geological event, not an actual attack, and it actually wasn't Putin causing it.
It was probably too much overhead to support Works. You’d still need an engineering team to support Works, and it wasn’t a big money maker. Much better to put some Office features behind a compiler/licensing flag and support one product with different “home” and “professional” SKUs.

But I kinda wonder the same thing about Apple’s Pages/Numbers/Keynote. I’m not sure the overhead to maintain those ultimately is worthwhile. It makes me think back on the old ClarisWorks or FileMaker setup where you ostensibly had an external company that made the product, but it was an Apple subsidiary. They could then offer the product for multiple OS’s. I’m not saying that business model was all that successful, but is there a place for an MS works in the time of Google docs?
Not the same clubhouse, but is shortcut any good?
Even if I take your first statement to be true, I'm not sure the rest of the comment follows. If we look over at video content livestreaming is popular (and increasingly so). Why have companies like Twitch been successful enough to be bought by Amazon rather than losing to YouTube or similar? Is there something special about audio that video doesn't have?
There is no evidence of this and we would know. Its not easy to hide wireless signals.

The thing about Chrome is that it's a known evil. Google monitors me and sells me ads. OK, not exactly benevolent, but I can live with it. I'd prefer they just charge me $100/yr or whatever instead of ads, but at the end of the day it's a tradeoff I can accept.

The thing about Firefox is that it's an UNKNOWN evil. Mozilla always feel like it's on the cusp of bankruptcy and constantly searching for new dark patterns to sneak in. When Wikipedia needs money they beg for it, but don't purposely sabotage the user experience to get funding.

Mozilla does that with every new release. I always feel like they've added some shady new malware/adware with every new patch, and then use some stupid UI tweak to try to hide it. It's only a matter of time before they sneak Norton in there. I trust the Firefox team even less than Facebook at this point. Firefox just isn't trustworthy, whereas Chrome is a known compromise.
Our elected City Council does not make crime a priority.
It also continues to be popular to recast the realities of unchecked drug abuse and crime, as housing affordability issues. The new mayor and city attorney are diverging slightly from this, but it's an uphill battle since the bulk of government here and especially the judges make leniency a priority. And the populace is obviously very liberal, so calls for accountability are muffled by disappointment that the well intentioned zeitgeist around policing needs to be more nuanced. The issue is also influence by many non-progressive-law-and-order liberals migrating to the soulless suburbs/eastide. Despite all of this, there's no other city I find more desirable in the US. People want to be here regardless of increasing crime (still lower than comparable US cities); though the issue of drug related homelessness is also a growing problem (everywhere).
> Nothing BS about the first link.

So your claim is that Teslas had "the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver" five years ago, conveniently ignoring the fact that the hardware has changed multiple times since then and even more conveniently ignoring the fact that Tesla still doesn't have a full self-driving product. Sorry, but that's bullshit.

> The second one has been debunked repeatedly

So your claim is that there are 1 million Tesla robotaxis operating on the roads right now. This too is plainly bullshit.

Clearly Tesla's advertising has worked on you. The advertising has worked so well that you're fully bought into the bullshit to the point of irrationality.

Based on the frequency with which this sort of post gets significant traction it's pretty clear that no one at Google gives a crap about this issue. I find it hard to imagine that people in Google are unaware of this problem.

Back in those days, there was 3dfx and ATI was just starting. Direct3D had abysmal reputation and only for very unstable Windows 95, I don't think 3dfx worked with it very well. Plus as you wrote it was DOS game, nothing like that there, just direct programming for specific cards.

Boy some good vertigo memories come with that game.
If you dress for running in the cold perfectly you won't sweat much. You have to endure 5-10 minutes of cold before you warm up, which is unpleasant and convinces most people they need to run in a jacket. Alternatively, you can start with an extra layer and take it off when you start sweating.

And yeah, you need to layer up or get inside as soon as you stop or you'll start shivering.

I remember entering a channel once that was just a bunch of “Queens” with hot avatars sitting at the top, and the host who was some dude with a smooth big black guy voice would talk with the audience and ask people “which of these queens would you like to sponsor?” and people would donate money to them or whatever. And the queens would also talk a bit if they felt like it. God it was stupid, one of the last channels I checked out before dropping this app completely.
