The Atomic Energy Act put a licensing requirement on all civilian use of nuclear materials, in this case for uranium concentrations above what is found in nature. Enriching is definitely in this category.

To enrich uranium legally in the US you would have to get a license by justifying why you were doing it and there are not many legitimate reasons to do so outside slightly enriched uranium for power plants or highly enriched for a few medical isotopes.

But if you just decide to do it, yes it’s illegal and the NRC will probably find you.

Obviously, talk to medical professionals first and foremost, but based on some (non-professional) review of the literature, it seems to suggest that SSRIs solve the problem “flawlessly” in around half of those prescribed. For the other half, it doesn’t seem to work out as well (perhaps misdiagnoses?), but if you were prescribed these drugs, I would very much take these chances. If it doesn’t work, you can just stop taking it (at the doctor’s advice) and the side-effects will clear up shortly, so not much to loose.

My anecdotal experience is similar, it greatly helps some of my friends, while not doing much for others who were later turned out to not have depression to begin with.
No.

The practical alternative is to stop dying on I-don't-want-to-create-an-account hill.

That means creating an account or finding another hill to die on (e.g. Linux).

There's no silver bullet.

No free lunch.

It's tradeoffs all the way down.

Good luck.
I see so many people here arguing that by embedding javascript directly from Twitter, you are accepting whatever they choose to make that javascript do. While that is true to an extent, Twitter has provided documentation for this javascript that says that if the Tweet gets deleted, the javascript will simply stop styling your quote of the tweet that you have on your website.

By changing the behavior of the javascript, without even updating the documentation, Twitter has broken every rule of being a good distributor of third-party code. In a similar vein, any third party code could at any time do any number of malicious things. Just because I didn't pay Twitter for the privilege of running their code and just because I embedded their code in my website does not make it okay for them to start distributing malware to modify my website to their liking.

There are lots of other malicious things Twitter could have the javascript do. Twitter could start showing ads before and after all quoted tweets. This would also conflict with the documentation and would be malicious.
The best example of this is having a Google Home device and just being like, "Hey Google, how many ounces are in a cup?" as you're standing in the kitchen with your hands covered in flour.

That isn't the point. The point is, just because a lot of X do Y doesn't indicate that Y is the best solution, or even a good one.

> The problem is that being good at hiring and at evaluating people is itself a skill.

Yes, that's why we have HR departments, and why these can take input from the technical departments to do part of the evaluation.

> The other problem is that if you come up with a different "test" every time

Why would I do that? I am not advocating designing completely new interviews for every candidate, I am advocating not using the same interviewing process for every candidate in the entire industry.

Conventionally attractive people, on average, make more money, so they could also just be gold diggers.
I don’t know. However, I exist, and presumably you do too.

There was a time when we didn’t exist, then suddenly - life.

Should that happen again, I should hope that the experience is peaceful (as much so as possible).

And it is for this reason that we should treat every living (and potentially non living) being with kindness and consideration. A bug, a dog, a plant, a fellow human.

We don’t know what’s next, if anything. But it’s true that we came into being in a world not of our choosing. If that happens again, I hope it isn’t a misery.

Life didn’t have to be this good. The world we inhibit didn’t have to be so ordered. It could have resembled an extensive misery.

We must treat all beings who move in this realm as we would like ourselves to be treated moving through another.

I’m somewhat hopeful that even if something like a “hell” exists, so does this reality. And while it’s not perfect, there is always hope that while existence in one realm may end, we may move to a more tranquil one.

My preference would be that we die and nothing. Like a deep, dreamless sleep. But the fact we have emerged with the gift of experience from seemingly nothing, doesn’t bode well for a continuation of nothingness.
Exactly. A screenshot can be altered. The original embed with twitter javascript was proof that this existed.

> I agree with this: Banking on what’s nothing more than a handshake is a bad call.

But shouldn't we be striving for a world where it isn't a bad call? Reputation used to mean something, I have read about it in old books. That was back when choice was a thing. Digg got destroyed in a matter of weeks because they did something users didn't like. Now Facebook is openly contributing to destroying democracy and all they get is one bad financial year. These things are way too big and wield way too much power.

And, with all due and undue respect, statements like yours are part of the problem. I don't know what your intent was, but you come off as defending twitter on this as there was no written contract. While everyone is equal under codified law, we shouldn't forget some people have more influence than others over what gets codified.
Why would I use this instead of writing it in a text document/sheet/piece of paper?
That's not a new technology. You can find examples of research going back to the Apollo program where such things were being considered and discussed.
Lot of science is deeply idiosyncratic and could really use a major overhaul in areas we can be confident we kinda know what we're talking about; for much improved teachability.

As long as insiders control 75% of the coins over time, through their fees or through the control, they can reimburse users fully (minus fees paid to Sky Mavis).

Remember, if you scam or charge $700M from your casino game users, you can accept $625M lost to theft and still make a profit.

But the announcement says "if this isn't enough to stabilize the coin, we'll take a treasury vote" presumably either to raise more funds or to default on their (non-legal) obligations to users.

Code is law. Radical decentralization. Users should not expect to get any money back from Sky Mavis (or any other cryptocurrency system). That's what they signed up for.

You said "we can never know". I don’t buy these way to dismiss critics, when evidence is overwhelming. Sure we can never be certain of anything. Yet we make choices in our lives, we go with what we feel is likely true. I hear a lot of such very "prudent" views about Trump and Musk. I never hear such prudent views about non-fascist persons. Suddenly the same people have strong opinions… doesn’t sound like honest discourse to me.

Fun fact but for years updating GPUs led to a decrease rather than an increase in framerate.

Basically with a solid GeForce 4 series card you could already cap the 100 fps framerate on Half-Life, but update to a much more powerful 9600 pro and framerate would start getting much more lower. The Quake 1 engine would be so old that getting better GPUs would make it run worse.

Also, another fun fact about HL is that scaled massively on ram frequencies. You would get a higher boost in framerate by overclocking your ram than your cpu or gpu.

It was only in late 2000s and the era of much more powerful 6th series that solid 100 fps on counter strike 1.6 were a given.

I miss that era of the internet, when socializing on irc and public servers was the norm, players controlled the servers rather than companies. Today we have replaced all of this infrastructure with ease of use and queue buttons and playing online leads to barely beyond any meaningful and short lived interaction.

If my email provider started doing something I don't like, shame on me for not saving a copy of my mail.

I'd like to see deunification of Russia to Duchy of Moscow and spin off the other oblasts as independent states. It secures the region while undoing some of the colonisation. More countries I feel should be broken down into smaller independent states. More democratic that way.

PCIe Ethernet in Thunderbolt docks (how to avoid Realtek)
I have used Jetbrains IDEA and Clion extensively to understand the other side. An IDEs heavy introspection isn’t necessary, and perhaps actively harmful towards writing and reading code. It’s rigid policy over tools like git is certainly actively harmful. If it takes an IDE to write your code, then it will likely take an IDE to read your code. They are tools that allow you to take shortcuts were you shouldn’t, and rob you of valuable knowledge. Programming is about thinking and continual learning and IDEs sell you the complete opposite. They help you build unsustainable projects where only a computer can understand the binary AND the source code.
The other point here is that the gap between IDE and text editor has only gotten smaller over the years and was closed considerably by LSPs. It may not be a perfect match in features, but small niceties are not an excuse for using closed source spyware for your text editor. They also do not make the difference between the success or failure of one’s work.

It's not fraud if they got robbed, unless going forward they claim to be fully collateralize.

Obviously their legal creditors in the real financial system (not the suckers buying coins) would prefer repayment to default, so it's in their interest to negotiate a new collateralization agreement to extract more money from "game" players (speculators) before shutting down and writing off the loss.
What does an intellectual life mean to you? Are you happy just learning things or do you feel the need to communicate, teach or debate your findings?

Some people give talks on interesting subjects, some people write blogs, some people write books, some folks start podcasts. Some people make games to explore new ideas.
Agreed. I should have said ‘understand’.

My point being that applying rules learnt from hundreds of years of literary culture and printing do not 1:1 translate into digital.

Justified copy is as much about saving paper as it is about any formality/legibility. It really has no place in long form digital space where space is infinite.

Type designers like consistent and even rhythm between the ink and page. Rivers of white and large gaps between words give the ick.
Theoretically, screen readers handle the "semantic web" better than anything else. Divs are used for layout and presentation, and don't convey much useful information about structure most of the time, so div-heavy sites can be really hard for blind people even if they look great, clean, minimal, and simple for the sighted.

I say "theoretically" because I'm not blind and have never used a screen reader, and I'm not extremely experienced in the area.
> Yes, that's why we have HR departments, and why these can take input from the technical departments to do part of the evaluation.

HR departments can't do technical interviews. You need technical people for that. But being technical isn't sufficient, you also need to be good at interviewing.

> I am advocating not using the same interviewing process for every candidate in the entire industry.

Is it the same process for every candidate in the industry? I'm not in SV, so maybe it's different here, but I've seen many different processes at many different places, and they were definitely not all identical.
> I was talking about VK_NV_ray_tracing precisely, which is proprietary Vulkan extension

Khronos does not promote an extension to KHR until multiple vendors ship support for it.

VK_KHR_ray_tracing is a direct continuation of VK_NV_ray_tracing with very light code changes needed. (and nothing prevents a vendor from shipping support for the two)

What does one do with an intellectual life other than swimming through intellectual content?

Apply what you're learning to impact your reality :)

-------

Maybe this is a bit abstract but I feel like one of the highest impact things you can do is incorporate the learnings into your day job, experiment, write about the impacts w.r.t your dayjob. I believe that this happens naturally and subconsciously as we learn but I try to make it explicit.

Build your psychology learnings into your interpersonal/team dynamics. Write about the results of what happens when you incorporate them.

Take your history passion and apply it to analyze the historical evolution of your dayjob, or incorporate the learnings of the past to influence your teams success in the future.

I feel like History, anthropology, psychology are ripe with examples, case studies, prior experiences that are directly applicable to day to day human interactions!
One of my fondest memories around Crysis is the whole "but can it run Crysis" unofficial benchmark. I remember everyone looking at the game going "yeah my machine can't run this".

you conveniently left out Belarus and Kazakhstan, who had attempts to do that literally the last year. both crushed with Russian help, which is probably the reason why Loukashenko is so friendly with Putin now

as for why they don't do that in Russia, why, they did manage to do that before. they even bragged about getting Yeltsin reelected on the cover of the Time magazine. the guy who oversaw a default, a defeat against Chechnya, and selling away the Soviet wealth to the emerging oligarch class for pennies on the dollar. not sure if the Russians are thankful for that help though
