My understanding of the article is that complex systems don't collapse faster, they simply need a lot more time to be built and collapse faster than that

But in the end Roman Empire did not collapse very fast, it kept existing in a different form (the eastern Roman Empire) for an additional thousand years and did not fail after all.

Roman Empire heritage is huge and spans from culture to engineering, from military tactics to religious beliefs, from political systems to law systems, even languages were heavily influenced by Latin, especially in continental Europe, and the process is still going on.

So probably it's not really that complex systems collapse faster, but that they are able to undergo to radical changes without disappearing from history.

They have the ability to reshape themselves and somewhat survive even if their original form does not.

A simpler system would not be able to do that but OTOH it would be much simpler to rebuild it from scratch or reboot/replicate it.

The projects themselves don’t need to be usable for the source to be valuable. I could easily imagine the source code of say a defunct MMO server being a useful reference for enthusiasts re-implementing their own servers.

There are many such “pause reminder” apps, but the issue is that they either don’t measure actual activity at all, or not usefully. Personally, I would need something geared towards keyboard RSI prevention, where it makes a big difference whether I’m reading documentation with low-frequency key presses or whether I’m hacking code or writing documentation with a high WPM count.
NB: personal anecdote.

After my first trip I became capable of discerning and understanding lyrics in songs. I am on the spectrum and had a lot of trouble with that prior, but it's as if a path was unblocked.

When I microdosed sclerotia I found that many of my ADHD symptoms were gone. In particular it was far easier to get things done because I didn't feel that I was inertial i.e. prior to that I felt that I needed to put a lot of effort to change my trajectory and start doing things but after that I could "just do it". I know that time moved a lot more slowly and I got things done significantly faster than otherwise.
I sincerely hope you're not trying to convince us that what you're descibing is a reasonable experience. Every word you wrote describes true horror!

Thank you for your insights. I want to add some.

First, let's say both parents are working 32 hours, and a child goes to daycare for 3 days. That's 24 out of 168 hours a week, in which the child also gets to play with other children. I can understand the hesitancy against outsourcing parenting, but for me this is a perfectly acceptable scenario.

Second, you explain it's depressing for your wife to leave a high powered career and now to be bouncing at the bottom of the career ladder. It's difficult to put a number on this, but I think this should be an important factor in the equation used for optimizing economic outcome. Also, I strongly believe it's better for children as well to have parents who live their ambitions and chase their dreams. Happier parents = happier children?

Finally, you state that earning the most money came at the expensive of her pride and self worth as a professional. Would you have made any other decisions in retrospect?

There’s a bunch of interesting areas. The ones I’m focused on right now:

Agreed...

Marketing is indeed a necessity, but Social Media was developed under the premise of providing free "social" marketing for artists that aren't profiting from their work yet... These platforms have undermined that now into requiring absolutely all artists to pay for ads in order to be viewed, which is completely contradicting their original EULAs... Spotify in a way is a social platform, but more-so it is also a marketing platform that despite allowing people to promote, also creates a dynamic where success is tiered and artificially hard-limited by their algorithms.

Content displayed on the front pages of sites like Spotify, YouTube, Reddit (etc.), get the most views and plays. These sites intentionally only have front pages, with pre-designated featured content. That means that only the artists that land there get the lion share of the revenue from those sites... They provide little to no relative potential for success or visibility to the majority of artists that contribute content that they benefit from, and that makes the entire industry a pyramid scheme.

Unknown and unsponsored artists cannot succeed in this model, and even if they do somehow find an opportunity, they are often subject to predatory contracts from record labels and the larger industry as well. It's really insane what goes on behind the curtains.

You can take the tube to heathrow today, and it’s not too bad an experience. Going to soho it’s only 20 minutes longer than heathrow express (and no train change!).

It is a bit annoying to take from terminal 3 — they really push you to the express. But easy enough and I’ve done it a couple times when traveling on my own dime.

Total price ends up around £4-5.
Indeed. This way you can run anything 'on' an existing device by... replacing the entire device and just using the shell. Kinda useless from a repurposing perspective.
Ah I've been deep in Effective Altruism for a while and have a fairly reductionist view on these topics now. I also happen to know SBF donates to good causes, along with how those good causes operate. If that money has been made by arbitrage between exchanges & liquidating gamblers resulting in literally > tens of thousands of lives saved, I'm okay with that :)

These types of studies are designed to generate certain headlines rather than provide scientific value.
There has been a ton of such "studies" in the past done for big pharma / political use, for instance to scare chronic pain patients off of medical cannabis or to ensure people don't look for other options and keep being hooked on what big pharma is pushing.
There is no interest in cures, but repeat customers.
This is all nice and all but if you don't change you pillow-case everyday (every other in the worst case) then you are just wasting time and money.

Sound ridiculous at first (who doesn't change them often?!) but many doesn't have a rigid schedule to change the bed and if something happens (tired, absent minded, bar etc) it quickly starts to accumulate.
While the blog is a great introductory post, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBZlN0izeiY is a great watch if you're interested in the magical optimizations in goroutine scheduling.

Yeah, I’ve traveled to London a lot and the new office is a short walk from the Elizabeth line. It’s an even shorter walk than the tube! The new line would have to be quite bad for me to stick with heathrow express (once the Elizabeth line finally shows up at heathrow…)

> As someone who has spent a few weeks microdosing, the effects of LSD are definitely not a placebo effect

There is no way someone can know if a drug is placebo when self dosed. I have attempted to do placebo tests on my self with some high dose supplements and it means I blind myself to what I am taking by having someone else give me the supplements not telling me if it is the real thing or the placebo. After you do that get back to us.

> Psychedelics bring up your subconscious processes into aware consciousness, and do so to lesser extent even at microdoses.

I would say this is a fantasy born in the sixties. How do you know something was brought up from your subconscious or a delusion created from the medication. You would have to know what was in your subconscious to know it came from there. So this to me is just more woo woo talk.

> Coupled with downsides of microdosing (and yes, there are downsides), it is a really delicate venture to undertake and you will need good knowledge and experience of psychedelics, psychology and a clear and direct intent, plan and motivation, or you are bound to end up just routinely microdosing for no purpose whatsoever and fuck up your brain chemistry for a while.

That does not seem workable for depression. I have to say I am currently struggling with suicidal thoughts and can barely get out of my van do to anything.

Might there be some neurogenesis with LSD, possibly through increasing BDNF

That's actually pretty cool to hear!

Though a problem that I ran into with GitLab Registry was that sometimes the Docker image cleanup wasn't done properly and old layers kept lingering around and eating a lot of space. I sort of fixed it with some cleanup scripts and the occasional manual actions, but it still was a bit problematic since running out of space was a very real risk.

Nexus does appear to have similar issues, should you use it as an intermediary for CI image builds (e.g. tag it with branch-date and tell your cluster to redeploy the image), but at least it has instructions for cleaning it up that work most of the time: https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/nexus-repository-admi...

Personally, I think that using the same software package for storing build artifacts and the source code itself is a bit risky, but maybe Gitea will be able to tackle those challenges with no significant issues!
At least to me, starting out with the compromise is a great way to have effective policy neutered even further.
Defense is a necessary evil, it doesn't make the world better, it just protects interests/the status quo. I'm not anti defense but the most positive outcome is you kill others before they kill you or at best intimidate them enough so that they don't attack. If that's "positive" in your view then nuclear weapons are the biggest success story, they've caused the least amount of death of all weapons we've developed so far. And yet saying they aren't very popular among the majority of the world's population would be an understatement.

Humanity would be better if there were no armies, in an ideal utopian society. The same goes for the pharma industry in its current form - it's just pure evil. Leeches on society that are extracting as much money as possible from the IP they hold.
But not an indicator to let up.

We must protect freedom at all costs. Especially ideological freedom.
This is literally what drove me away from Facebook, completely. Their constant “redesigning” of notification and privacy settings was a veiled effort to force whatever notifications in front of me. There are certain notifications I want from you Facebook, but you made a grave miscalculation when you thought I’d put up with everything else you threw at me. So here I am, a Facebook user since 2007(?) who pretty much walked away in 2019 and has barely been back.
> is it an aggressive standardization campaign by one interested party

Everyone from FB to Microsoft to even Huawei wanted QUIC. It's was not something that only Google was interested in. Hell, the primary author left Google well before the WG was done.

> But historically RFCs were built on practice, not the other way around.

Right from the early drafts, there have been multiple independent QUIC implementations constantly being tested. There was plenty of working code before there was rough consensus.

> standardizing the semantics of http separate from the physical transport

What actual semantics of HTTP changed with QUIC?

I do this too.

If it is a commercial company (e.g. Starbucks from the article) then I sometimes make a point to act innocent and contact their support people to ask why I am not getting order update notifications after "turning off the ads" or whatever. Hopefully the message will get through.
But "failed state" simply means that some of the controls have been disabled, at least according to John Gall. That just translates into working without quite knowing how they work.
Why do you need to identify your phone to use an online messaging service?
Somewhat similar. mirrord works live only (currently) but doesn't just replay the traffic, it wraps your process and duplicates connection to your local service as if it's running in the remote environment. We'll soon add filesystem access, environment variables and outgoing traffic enabling developers to work seamless on a remote environment.
I just looked it up and section M1503.1 of the 2018 International Mechanical Code has an exception for range hoods which allows most to be used ductless. Some states, CA for example, don't allow this but the majority of states just follow the IMC code.

I know gitea can mirror a github repo, not sure about issues or PRs though.

If you're using gitlab or gitea you should be able to allow people to login with github accounts. I used that to raise issues about borgmatic[1] and it was very painless. I believe it's also mirrored on github but issues aren't enabled. Not sure how the maintainer set it up.

My organization has this disease bad. It’s awful. It’s so ingrained that our official leveling competencies stop recognizing differences in execution skills (coding, debugging, etc) after 2-4 years into a career. All growth from there on out is planning, design, vision, influence, leadership.

This design might have made sense in a world with voracious hiring of junior talent to do the execution. But hiring has slowed and had shifted towards more senior roles even before it slowed. So we are awash in grand plans and perpetually short of resources to execute them. Those who do get stuck executing plans are of lower than average skill, since the competent implementers are promoted to planning. So even if you can get resources for your grand plan, chances are it will be executed badly.
Seems like GP's clear point was to "use 40 to 80 different types of mice."

Heathrow Express has long been a bit lost. The original idea was that you would check in for your flight - including baggage drop - at Paddington before taking the Express. When the "lawn" area at Paddington was opened in 1999, the back wall (now a row of shops, from Boots to Fat Face) was a row of check-in desks with baggage facilities.

I never used these and I kind of wish I had, because after 9/11 they closed and never reopened.

[edit: Wikipedia tells me the check-in service ran until 2003 and "was withdrawn due to low usage and high cost of operation", nothing to do with 9/11. My mind must have filled in the more dramatic memory]

Then a few years later the Heathrow Connect service opened, a slightly slower, much cheaper alternative to the Express (it changed names a few times but I believe is the same service as now constitutes the Elizabeth Line on that stretch) - so nobody who was coming from Paddington, planning ahead, and paying their own fare had much reason to take the Express any more.

This isn't really an accurate analogy because the art is produced with a visual medium in mind.

I see no problem about 110k "end game"...

1) If the journey have enough content to sustain a huge grinding time, it's ok.
2) If you can make it expensive without making mandatory (to buy), it's ok.
3) If you build a legit character buying or farming and it can be evaluated at 100k USD, it's pretty awesome! (Check MIR 4 Top Characters Price)

But if you play a blizzard game, with no NFT (or Open marketplace) and being treated as criminal if you sell the product of your farming/grinding time, it's pretty fucked up.
I hate most of WoW private servers (2020)
Why wouldn't working mothers be happier? Are working fathers unhappier? I think people who have freedom of choice without facing pressure from society are happier. If they choose to stay at home in a level playing field, that's perfect. Everyone should make their own choice. But as long as the ratio between stay-at-home mothers and stay-at-home fathers is not 50/50, I believe mothers face more pressure from society than fathers and have less freedom of choice.

I also think your statement that more individual freedom for women is a loss for everyone needs some clarification. That's a wild thing to say. I hope I interpreted this wrong?
The supply isn't deflationary, it's just very slowly inflationary, at a fixed (and decreasing) rate. Ethereum might actually be deflationary now though

Simple systems are also easier to dismantle, which seems to hint that they are more fragile.

I think that's a testament to how micro transactions can ruin the balance of a game as you never know who the difficulty is designed for. With SMTV, Atlus added a dlc to make it easier to level your characters. So did they deliberately pad the leveling in order to make you buy this dlc? Or are you paying for an easy mode? Who knows.
The headline implies a conclusion which is not necessarily true. There are many complex systems that don’t collapse faster than many simple systems.
Seems like it'd be ideal to just work with a single strain; you'd rule out many confounding factors. I don't see why having multiple different strains of mouse would make the results more generalisable to humans.

It's still a controlled trial with some compelling results and analysis. This is an excellent basis for further research.
> Also, Adderall (Amphetamine) != Methamphetamine. That is like saying Ethylene Glycol (a common car anti-freeze) is the same as Ethanol (drinking alcohol) or that Peroxide is the same as distilled water. In fact, the substances I listed above are more molecularly similar than methamphetamine and amphetamine.

The people I know who have made such a distinction haven't done both. The people I know who have done both tell me that they have essentially the same effects.

> Also, stimulant medications have a higher safety profile than many OTC medications, so take that for what it's worth.

Yeah, I think a lot of OTC medications are essentially grandfathered in to drug policies and would require a prescription if they came out new today.
