Earlier this week I started feeling hearing discomfort for certain textures of sounds - namely those metallic or screeching.

I don't feel pain or ringing but those sounds definitely irritate me in a disproportionate way.

Does that sound familiar to anyone?

(I have a specialist appointment in the way but I'm quite anxious in the meantime)
What China Gets Wrong
The article makes a lot of good points. I'm a lover of psychedelics, I've apparently managed to be wired in a way that has made every single experience one that I don't regret (whether joyous, superficial, or intricate, unexpected), but I would never make the mistake of assuming my experience directly translates to other people's. Hype, cultists and people thinking in absolute only do a disservice to what we could extract from those experiences.

Serious research with people who are detached from the drugs is something we should all want, especially because we've only had a short time for detailed records of psychedelics experiences to exist at all and most experiences to this day aren't really observed scientifically at all. I believe that science is the best thing we've got to approach the unknown, psychedelics aren't a "godly exception".

I also remain aware that science doesn't always offer answers right away and we just keep on going anyway. It's been true for most technologies, for a lot of what goes in our food every day, for how we've structured society, etc. We accept that there's unknown risks, we try to mitigate what comes our way and prepare for what we can estimate, and we learn to live through what we didn't see. But we still eat the food, use the technologies, try social systems, and so on.

I think that attitude is also one to have with psychedelic experiences. That happens through testing what you have, guided experiences if and when there's a need or uncertainty, "set & setting" and discussing them beforehand, being gentle with dosage, making a sincere attempt at an inventory of the self before deciding on taking the psychs, and so on and so forth. And some people try some of it, some people don't, and that's OK as long as everyone strives to have an experience they can handle with what they know. Just like with everything else.
I doubt having the project named after youtube is that important for attention.
This is exactly what I do right now and it's pretty nice. We have quarterly planning weeks and everyone goes on-site for that, but otherwise, we're split around the country and there is only one office in downtown San Antonio. 70% of the people working on this program don't live in San Antonio, so there is no practical way to undo being a distributed workforce. But it's a military program and the military is pretty used to working in a distributed manner. They need to be able to work in theaters of combat where you're not only spread out and constantly on the move, but any node in your worker network can go offline at any time, possibly permanently.
(1) I think GPT-3 has no clothes (it's real superpower is that it gets "neurotypical privilege", whenever it seems to get something 80% right people give it credit for the other 20%), current neural networks are structurally inadequate for AGI, adding more neurons will approach an asymptote in performance not lead to a 'singularity'. The whole 'singularity is neigh' concept has no basis.

(I'll grant that if there is a structural change you might get something on a better trajectory than GPT-3... An example a structural feature that matters is "does it run programs that are guaranteed to complete in bounded time" or "can it solve constraints?" or "can it revise an early stage interpretation if it runs into problems at late stages")

(2) That particular essay is hard to rebut because it reads like Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi made 100 embryos and then somebody scored them all and picked the worst. It seems to start out with some individual greivance somebody had once but then it was processed through a Russian doll factory that got attacked by a paperclip optimizer. It would take hours to really make sense of it... if it made any sense.
Is it deeply wrong that you can go on stock market and buy part of company and immediately turn up profit when they pay dividends. Essentially inserting yourself as parasitic middleman in the process, providing no service and extracting an economic rent... Or doing same by buying existing debt?
Atlesium: A new kind of customer engagement platform
We all know Intercom, Drift, and all of the other customer relationship platforms. But honestly, those platforms don’t allow you to get a real sense of your visitor. What’s more effective than text? Video. Atlesium introduces a new take on customer relationships and allows you the owner to connect with your visitors on a more personal level.

Atlesium is very easy to use. After you create a video on Atlesium, a tag is then given to you. You then insert the tag into the index.html of your website and specify which HTML div you want it to appear in. The modal that comes up is called a Retican and so far there are four reticans available: Introductory, Video Response, Text Response, General.

In addition, you can also receive analytics on your reticans and video/text responses from your visitors.

Hopefully, Atlesium brings something new to your website and gives you the chance to connect with your visitors on a different level. Right now there are only 250 spots available so I recommend signing up today.
I have increasing;y bad tinnitus. Will this help with that?

I hear a permanent and constant low-volume very high pitch "squeal" in my ears at all times,

I was never a big loud music listener, and I have always brought ear-plugs to loud events - and have had no big ear-rupturing moments (such as a gun firing close to my head without protection etc...

There is a cautionary tale here for anyone who wants to write great software. Solaris is great software, and yet I wouldn't want to run it because I wouldn't want to hire for it. OSes are complex enough that you want specialists who "dwell" in the space (as opposed to casual things, like libraries), and the community is just too small. (That said, sometimes teams pick the outlier and win - WhatsApp and Erlang come to mind. But this is really rare, I think.)
> but suddenly Russia should be destroyed for Ukraine

I must have missed the bit where people started calling for Russia's destruction.

TBH it has surprised me that Ukraine hasn't carried out a lot more behind-the-lines attacks on Russian supply convoys; I'm aware of just one attack on a Russian fuel dump inside Russia. It's as if they are fearful that an attack on Russian territory might lead to retaliation. But isn't Russia already 'retaliating' as much as it can?
Implement a page visit frequency map in Go. Boom.
Dude, your privileged is showing...

I have yet to work for a company that buys me lunch, much less annual ski trips. Hell, coffee hasn't been provided at any of my jobs, I've always had to pitch into a coffee pool just to have it. That's not to even mention getting to go to conferences. If I wanted to attend a conference, it would be coming out of my wallet and vacation time.

If you want me to collaborate, put it in on my schedule and pay me to do it. I'd say that most of these "spontaneous collision of people and ideas" happen during lunch. Guess what, that lunch which I am already paying for, is also unpaid time. Ever since I've been working from home, my lunch hour is mine. I get to unwind, read or watch tv, all while eating a healthy meal.

Finally let's talk about things that would get me back in the office. Shorter days, I have to commute a total of 2 hours a day, so I want my day to be 2-3 hours shorter. An actual office, with a window, door, temperature control, and some kind of noise isolation. I don't like working in those open office bullpens where I get to listen to salesmen screaming on the phone or secretaries sharing the latest gossip. Start screening people for personal hygiene. I get so tired of having to work with a heavy smoker or someone who can't be bothered to shower before showing up to work.
The digg exodus was nothing, just a bunch of group A basement dwellers moving in with group B basement dwellers. At the time the average person still had no idea what reddit or digg was.

The whole thing was just internal internet geek culture drama.
> Does the product benefit more from being reviewed by teammates from the same schools and employment backgrounds, or by ones with different life and professional experiences?

In practice "diversity" is more often people from the same schools and employment backgrounds, with just a bit more variation in sex or race or ethnicity.
> I don't need a theoretical analysis from a game developer who has to imagine himself as a landlord as I have personally owned rental property before, have known people who have owned rental property and rented property before.

Great, because I didn't provide you with a theoretical analysis, I provided you with an empirical analysis that actually looks at the evidence from the real world.

Regardless of my credentials or your credentials, I'm not particularly impressed with anyone who cites an N of 1 from their own personal experience and thinks it proves anything in particular.
I switched from Kakoune to Helix recently. I've been very happy. It'll be a larger leap for a Vim user, but it was almost drop-in for a Kakoune user. Though i did tweak my bindings quite a bit to be more Kakoune like hah.
Right - I guess my point is that competitiveness in of itself is not useful. Competitiveness is really just motivation/drive. It's important and necessary and we can use it to reach our goals. But competitiveness for competitiveness-sake leads to bad things. Other people are harmed along the way, shareholders don't make as much money as they could, etc.
It does show the lack of extreme values for higher-skilled people, surely this has some statistical significance ?

Especially in a situation where you would expect the distributions to be of the same type ?

Unless they had messed up in failing to normalize the number of points per group, and so this might come from the law of large numbers failing + sheer randomness failing to create extreme values on higher-qualified, but lower population groups ?
This is more a coordination/incentive/game theory problem than a cost one. If all the companies that use open source libraries contributed resources to pooled audits then individually they'd have to pay far less than each reviewing dependencies on their own.
Maybe that could be incentivized by penalizing data breaches caused by negligence and using non-audited code = negligence. But I suspect this would just result in people running some random static analysis tool and calling it a day rather than doing for proper code reviews.
>If it turns out that too many people are disconnecting their tv, the manufacturer would merely add in a sim card.

Or silently use your neighbor's tv (of the same brand or cross-brand network pact) as access point. Not for streaming video, but just for the tracking.

This is where we're headed.

This would be an accessibility regression.
I see what you are saying, but I suggest the manner in which the author placed the words indicates it's probably just normative and an expression of her worldview than any kind of obsequiousness to a movement. It looks like it's something 'just written' in the moment as opposed to an academic concept. More vanguard that follower.

More likely a situation where an editor who saw the obvious inappropriate implication, would be fearful to call it out given the risk of being perceived as 'being on the wrong side'.

This is pernicious language, it needs to stop, I doubt people realize how damaging it is to their own cause and how they're probably losing more 'allies' than otherwise.
I would be interested to know that too. I imagine it would depend on the kind of tinnitus as it can be independent on hearing loss.
I've used https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy and I have to say the package, the author and the nim community were all phenomenal in helping me implement nim code that works as a Python package.

Which ones? Even in Europe there is ample time for replying and complying to GDPR requests. Way more than would be needed for this specific case.
>So you're against diversity?

This really isn't the same "diversity" as "integrating marginalized communities", though.

So yes, I am against the particular kind of diversity that prefers hiring a wealthy brahman living in India over the inner-city kid who needs a leg up.

I'm also opposed to the kind of "diversity" that puts a substantial portion of our domestic workforce out of a job.

Neither of these is what "diversity" used to mean; the term is being coopted by those who would benefit from lowering working wages.
No, it doesn't. Using a '?' will cause a syntax error.
Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #5
Hardware acceleration in robotics news, issue #5. Read about global #robot software market to reach 7527 million $ in 2025, #NVIDIA #medical-grade chip with #hardware acceleration.
IMHO the relative cost of Linux hardware created a brain drain that they didn't see coming and ultimately couldn't resolve. The amount of work a single well-equipped E4500 could do vs a cabinet of x86 gear was remarkable, but that E4500 might run $600K and the x86 gear 0-10% of that.
The kernel isn't dying, it's niche. It always has been and it always will be.

Fortunately for the kernel, despite being niche, it has a rock-solid onramp forcing people to get into it. There will always be companies interested in the n'th degree of performance, both generally, and for some specific hardware. Someone has to go do the relevant kernel work for those things. So while you or I may never touch it, it is effectively impossible for a kernel like Linux to just rot away because nobody cares. It would require first a multi-year, if not multi-decade process of fading first.
If I hit the button to go to the last strip, everything is in german. WTF?
Berard Auditory Integration Training and the Tomatis Method are also worth looking into depending on what's going on; a book called "Hearing Equals Behaviour: Updated and Expanded" goes into detail on the above treatments.
I think the general consensus is that Oracle bought Sun for Java.

Databases at Oracle have certainly done better than Solaris though. OracleDB is still a cash cow and MySQL I believe MySQL is still the most popular Open Source relational database ( well, other than SQLite probably ). Monty forked MySQL to MariaDB literally the day after Oracle bought Sun but MySQL remains far more popular.
OK, good to know. It was a genuinely weird headache, but I misattribute it.

> but for everybody else Solaris was dead before 2009.

I worked in the Solaris engineering org. We had new customers at least as late as 2017.
That's the point being made rhetorically by the person you replied to, fyi.
Not really. alt and title are a thing in HTML.
I’m too young and missed the Solaris era. Are there still valid usecases for Solaris today? Or ist this just to support some legacy systems that can’t be upgraded?
The dividend payout is priced into the purchase price.
My comment got kind of far from its context, visually. By "supporting" I'm really referring to significant amounts of financial support, beyond what normal people would be able to give to their children.

I do think it's possible for a person to be self-made. But I think the much narrower concept of the "self-made American millionaire" does more harm than good, as a mythological idea in US politics.

Edit: Before you reply to this, read a little more of the thread I'm saying this in, where other people are making this point more eloquently.
like so many aspects of communication, no matter what is said "here and now", there are underlying forces.. trust, safety, motivations matter..let's assume zero trust between parties, but let's also assume information-seeking, puzzle solving and skill building; let's assume that motivations inevitably change and can be inconsistant

> significant ; there is an active war nearby that fills the news; there is an active Holocene Extinction event; birds are deeply impacted.. electrical power generation across borders is a cause of this war and on the agenda of every military; the means of electrical power generation aside from fossil fuels is key to de-escalating the extinction events; you and I and thousands of others, are drawn to these topics "here and now"

Your self-description shows both "systems" and "contention"

"Human organization ... before today's deep learning techniques" definite maybe on that! The relationship of DeepLearning to cross-border infrastructure mapping of elevated interest to both alarmed Extinction researchers and mobilized War participants, is sort of aside from the field of DeepLearning

"no amount of research in public policy will stop the conflict" hard to say that although generally research itself does not stop or start things

"make salacious accusations" its your anonymous nick, so your alarm is really core to this reply. Was it salacious? Are those your own words in your bio? Miscommunication is often more common than real communication, when the trust levels drop on an open comment board. Let's say that I dont really care about the reputation of the nick, but I do care about both War and Extinction.. your explorations brought the knowledge, and the knowledge is on topics of elevated concern.. so yes there is concern here..

They could simply offer a “move to trash” approach to get around any legal restrictions of the kind you are imagining.

This would also be much nicer UX. Just click a button to delete something, and it says something like “This has has been moved to Trash, and will be permanently deleted in 30 days”. No big scary warnings needed. And you can still delete it immediately if you want (by emptying your trash afterwards) so it’s not in breach of any laws.
Yes! People today may not realize how huge Sun was in the 90's. Almost all startups ran on Sun gear. Almost all ISPs had a Sun system for their "shell account" servers. Also, I had a SparcStation 10 at home in 1996 or so (which was kind of unheard of!)
> * People also stopped taking care of themselves during the pandemic, at the same time everyone started working from home.

I'm healthier than ever. I bought an exercise bike, have a home weight setup and my diet is cleaner. I have several coworkers who have done similarly.
> If I have .75 acres with a single family home and 30 years later the area around me is developed, them I will be financially forced off of my land because I could theoretically put an apartment building on it. We already see standard property tax forcing the elderly out of their homes in many areas.

This is one of my current issues with land value tax: pricing out existing residents. One mitigation I think that would help would be only adjusting the LVT of a plot on sale / ownership transfer. It would likely need a bit more nuance than that, as it doesn't quite work with company owned land (doesn't really switch owners like a sfh owner dying).

The land will eventually get more efficient use, but there isn't the recurring threat of being priced out of your home.
Ya, I'm curious too. We have developers in every level of our stack using M1 macs and nobody has anything but good things to say. I suspect it is an edge case that doesn't affect a lot of users, which is a reasonable complaint and also somewhat expected when switching silicon paradigms.

The only downside I've seen is that I can't seem to tax it, which has made me lazy -- I now have hundreds of chrome tabs open over dozens of windows and it hasn't skipped a beat.
> Furthermore, the spontaneous and critically important break-outs (small conversations) that happen at team off-sites or conferences

I guess I've missed out, but in 20 years in the industry I've literally never had any critically important break-outs from office or off-sites or hallway conversations.

Important work is intentional, and rarely accidental.
I'd never heard of SMF [0] before, and I'm not very familiarized with this problem domain. Maybe this is a dumb question, but if it was so great why hasn't anyone tried to replicate it for Linux?

It always baffles me that superior tools can be developed while still failing to gain traction in alternative ecosystems.

It also barfed on my wife's Mac (which has not been loaded with a mish-mash of development stuff), so I give up. If nobody else is reporting the same problems as I'm having then I guess it's just that I'm having a bad hair year.
The article mentions Cover Story: Power Trip podcast which I finished last night and enjoyed so much. It’s by New York Magazine and the folks at Psymposia. Highly recommend as a balancing counterpoint to all the positive hype about psychedelics.

For the record, I have been both helped and harmed by psychedelics and in net believe their return is positive. I’ve seen enough oddities in the Bay Area psychedelics and mental health scenes to warrant some serious caution about the current path we’re taking.
On the very small chance you'll see this -- Gmail has begun bouncing Google Calendar notifications, and the bounce notice goes back to ... Gmail. So I still get notified, but via a bounce.

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure will probably be the future of warfare like we've seen demonstrated with Stuxnet, NotPetya, and Triton

Stuxnet is pretty famous by now, but the Darknet Diaries episode about the others might be good supplementary information for those looking to learn more about this type of malware
On the impl side, WebAssembly was built from the beginning to support that use case, and many languages are adding backend support for it. On the language side, I really like type systems with Algebraic Effects (koka-lang.org has some of the cool research into it).
