1. and 2. are congruent. Where your thesis misses the mark is connecting 1. and 2. with your life after death.

In other words, assert 1. and 2., therefore the human race does not die out when I die.

But, assert 1. and 2., therefore my life will continue seems like a pretty big leap to me.

> 1984 is (this particular toolkit for controlling how people behave)+power? Am I understanding that correctly?

What I'm saying is that it's _not the same toolkit_ because it doesn't include state power or historical revisionism.

The problems LGBT people have (speaking about the US right now because that's where I am) are with the application of state and state-aligned media power against us, not the application of social power.

Social power is important, but it is much less likely to be deadly without state power at least tacitly supporting it.

The lies and the media reports of the so called death of the fastest company to reach $1 trillion dollars in the 21st century has been greatly exaggerated. Especially with having platforms with 1 billion+ users each.

Would be interesting to hear what their issue with it was if someone knows.
Yep, and its pretty much going to become the next C++ - i.e widely adopted at first, and driven into a shit state. Specifically because of this

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html

This needs to exist in Rust for it to get adopted, because forcing good developers to get explicit with code for memory safety when they are doing simple operations is going to result in them ignoring the language.

So eventually code bases are going to be exactly like C++ code bases - C++ has a standard library and smart pointers that eliminate a lot of errors with dangling pointers, and if people use those exclusively (or better yet, the language disallowed any C style pointers or arrays), the language would be dramatically more safe.

If you want to improve development, focus on smarter compilers/interpreters, not languages.
When I say rstudio I guess I am implicitly saying also devtools, tidyverse, and ggplot2 because Hadley Wickham works at Rstudio.

Honestly? Flag and move on. It’s really not worth getting controversial over something like this. It’s clearly a cultural/power flex bereft of any technical curiosity and it serves the HN crowd absolutely no use nor leads to any enlightenment to further discuss it - let alone try to “educate” (pardon the term) the author as to why their musing on calcification of thought and behaviour is unhealthy.

Whenever someone tries to pull a little clever power trip and politely silence you or tell you how you should behave and that your language is inappropriate, you owe it to yourself to tell them to fuck off (right after you call their behaviour “gay”, of course.)

What Mom Would Say about what your hobbies and interests and romantic life should look like might lead to estrangement and neuroses.

Here in Boulder most property crimes are ignored by the police. They'll file a report to give to your insurance company, but they'll flat out tell you that they're not going to do anything.

I think it's a few things contributing to it. First is not having enough man power. And also a lot of stuff isn't worth the expense of investigating. A stolen laptop, phone, or bike just isn't worth the cost of detectives hunting it down. $20k of police work to get a $1000 laptop doesn't make much sense.

I’m sorry, I’m not sure what to make of this: whether or not GR (our current ToG) is correct, and, if not, what’s missing or how it might be wrong is a hugely important active field of research.

As is, of course, trying to integrate QM and GR.

They aren’t ossified, they are hard. Conceptually hard. Mathematically hard. And a few other hards.
The secret is - there is no field.

2) Describe a set of steps needed to complete some task.

One of my long-standing interests is hypnosis, and specifically hypnosis for anesthesia. I have been studying the “art of hypnosis” for more than 15 years, and I believe it is criminally understudied as a discipline and undervalued as a tool. Unfortunately, as has happened in other fields (think of electromedicine, for example), the discipline has been swamped by charlatans and people who think a ponytail can work like an antenna receiving signals from outer space. But the potential is there.

It is said that the Scottish surgeon James Esdaile performed tremendously invasive surgeries, for instance for testicular cancer, using no chemical anesthesia, and making use only of what is now called "deep hypnosis"-—that particular state of hypnosis is called "Esdaile state" among practitioners, and it was popularized by the late Gerry Klein. I formally studied hypnosis years ago with a former student of Klein’s.
Although when reading Esdaile's biography he gives a certain “charlatanesque” vibe, "It is an objective matter of record that [...] James Esdaile, an Edinburgh-trained Scottish surgeon employed by the East India Company [..] performed 'pain-free' major surgery on more than 300 cases (amputations, removal of cataracts, removal of massive tumours)" [0].

Dave Elman, one of the most famous practitioners and popularizers of the medical approach to hypnosis, wrote a seminal book in the 1960s titled "Hypnotherapy". In it, he also talks about a very simple but apparently very effective approach to self-hypnosis, which is especially useful for anesthesia.
Elman wrote (page 33 of his book) and could be heard saying the same in his medical tapes:

“I usually help myself establish autosuggestion by a cue word. I choose the word "green" because green, in my mind, is God's color. It connotes the pleasantest visions in the minds of the most people. Here are your instructions: Say the word green and close your eyes. Test for eye-closure. When you are sure you have eye-closure, use the symbol word "green" again, knowing that the instant you say it your suggestion will take full and complete effect. Then test to make sure that the suggestion has taken full effect. To release the eye muscles, say the word "green" once again, and your eyes will open. It takes about four seconds to anesthetize yourself. But you must practice. Autosuggestion is a priceless possession.”

In his tape recordings, he instructed the audience on the use of anesthesia through self-hypnosis and encouraged them to test anesthesia, not analgesia, using Allis clamps at the most painful settings: everyone who tried it felt no pain.

Isn’t that amazing?

The fear of not waking up is not necessary. When you do not wake up, no fear can exist.

It's usually the pain before dying people are scared of. That is an understandable fear, one that is commonly exploited by humans (e.g. torture).

If, unlike most of the other top commenters I see, you read the paper and its sibling[0], which isn't very long or difficult to understand, you'll find an interesting and thoughtful analysis. They talk a lot about ascertainment (sampling) bias. They find the data points to the market even after they threw out the 1/3+ of the people who lived closest to it. And the cases not linked to the market lived closer to it than the cases that were:

> One of the key findings of our study is that ‘unlinked’ early COVID-19 patients, those who neither worked at the market or knew someone who did, nor had recently visited the market, resided significantly closer to the market than patients with a direct link to the market. The observation that a substantial proportion of early cases had no known epidemiological link had previously been used as an argument against a Huanan market epicenter of the pandemic. However, this group of cases resided significantly closer to the market than those who worked there, indicating that they had been exposed to the virus at, or near, the Huanan market. For market workers, the exposure risk was their place of work not their residential locations, which were significantly further afield than those cases not formally linked to the market.

This makes sense, but it's probably not something I'd have thought of myself.

I also find figure 4[1] fascinating. Evidence points not just to the market, but to just a handful of stalls within it.

The sibling study tracks two lineages in the early spread, both clustered around the market. The first study, citing this sibling, says:

> This, along with the lineage A cases we report in close geographical proximity to the market in December, challenges the suggestion that the market was simply a superspreading event, which would be lineage-specific. Rather, it adds to the evidence presented here that lineage A, like lineage B, may have originated at the Huanan market then spread from this epicenter into the neighborhoods surrounding the market and then beyond.

They conclude that they are likely the result of separate animal-to-human transmissions and that there were probably more jumps that quickly died off. This suggests that the virus was well-suited to infect humans before it jumped:

> Successful transmission of both lineage A and B viruses after independent zoonotic events indicates that evolutionary adaptation within humans was not needed for SARS-CoV-2 to spread (49). We now know that SARS-CoV-2 can readily spread after reverse-zoonosis to Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), American mink (Neovison vison), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), indicating its host generalist capacity (50–55).

What heat source do you use for your brazing? The only brazing I've ever done was with an oxy-acetylene torch, which isn't the most convenient thing in the world to work with. Mostly the part about needing an industrial welding supply place or something to rent bottles from.

MIG welding with a self-feeding wire welder can also be a little bit easier in the sense of not requiring combined dexterity between both hands simultaneously, which is something that doesn't come naturally to everybody. That said, if one can learn to solder, they can probably learn to braze.

On 2, Make an ugly frontend, I learned a straightforward way to work with services and various kinds of backend code without front ends: add a simple web server endpoint to expose whatever properties, settings, or behaviors are of interest.

This is almost trivial if your chosen language has capabilities built-in, as in `python -mSimpleHTTPServer`. Add endpoints to return in plain text or maybe json. One thing I often do is log to an in-memory array of strings, then add an endpoint `/log` that returns the contents of the array. I usually go a bit farther and use a circular buffer, so the in-memory log doesn't grow too big.

Postman is a good tool also, though the learning curve can be a bit steep.

> It is perfectly reasonable that some lab somewhere would collect and study the COVID virus. What is unreasonable is that the lab or a lab worker just got sloppy and accidently released that virus out to the world.

Is this still true? It is unfortunate that it took an event like this to prove what we already knew: lab workers, who are of course fallible humans, will make mistakes.

Given that Covid was released upon the world likely due to a lab accident and all of the damage it did over a span of years, it would seem reasonable to rethink whether unlimited experimentation and especially enhancement with viruses should be allowed. This in itself has proven to be a source of denial by the very virus experts (like Fauci) that do not want their area of science to be restricted.
