The phrase is “set and setting” meaning that it is strongly advised to only take psychedelics when you have a good mindset and a good setting. The thing about psychedelics is that you will have powerful mental imagery during the trip, that’s just how they work. So what is on your mind that day will affect what you think about, and with the power of psychedelics I’m told it could get scary or bad if you’re in a particularly bad mood.

For example I’ve twice taken mushrooms while I was lonely. About 1 gram. In both cases I ended up just feeling an amplified sense of loneliness that was very difficult to handle. Another time, and this wasn’t particularly bad, but I ended up thinking about my parents dying (they’re still alive) and it was a powerful feeling. That was good though, because after that I began to put more effort in to seeing them and spending time with them.

But my point is that the experience is a powerful mental experience that is affected by what is on your mind. So they strongly recommend only doing a trip if you have a good mindset and a good setting to do so. Otherwise wait.

By the way the parent comment is correct. Psychedelics bring up a powerful feeling of connectedness with the universe. You feel like you’re seeing patterns of the matter around you and you feel one with it all. I’m not a mystical person but that’s how I’ve felt on a strong trip.

> > it makes sense to look at change from baseline for individuals in the various groups rather than just differences in raw scores between treatment groups.

No, GP is talking about a matched pairs design. You look at the difference between the scores of very similar individuals by applying one treatment to each (active and placebo), or, applying both treatments to the same individual (in random order).

Cherry-picking would mean only using scores from selected individuals, whereas matching only emphasizes the difference.

Due to some fairly serious diet-related personal health issues (obesity and several related co-morbidities), 5 years ago I started closely following nutrition science. In this time, the clearest thing I've learned is that the vast majority of "Nutrition Science" is poor science - to the extent of hardly being science at all.

* If the data is based on diary data, it's noisy to the extent of being nearly useless and no causation can be implied.

* Doing rigorous controlled studies on humans is very difficult and astronomically expensive. Even then, it's incredibly easy for significant confounds and errors to slip in.

* With nutrition studies in general, animal models are usually weak proxies for humans. A large number of significant nutrition results in animals fail to replicate in humans.

* Humans metabolic responses to nutrition are highly variable and contingent on everything from genetic make-up and ethnicity to behavior and environment, etc. So, even in the rare cases statistical causation is demonstrated, it probably still depends on other variables.

* There is a high degree of bias in nutrition science. This includes many funding sources having vested interests from commercial (food lobbies (meat, wheat, milk, etc)) and many researchers having ideological biases (anti-meat vegetarians, anti-meat climate concerns, anti-meat animal welfare, etc)

* Accepting any result as significant requires skeptically examining the methods, statistics and history of the authors and funders.

I would still argue that it is not that straight forward and that the term compiler in the context of computer science was defined during simpler times and since then the field has expanded making classification challenging.

I might try to unpackage the definitions you provided if I have time, but until then, here are some half baked nuggets on my mind:

- In the context of a Piet program, what would you call a psd2jpg program. It is a software that converts an algorithm expressed in a human-oriented source <<language>> (we can liken layers and masks to comments and Photoshop as the IDE of choice) to an equivalent algorithm expressed in a hardware-oriented target <<language>>. I would say this is more like converting a file from ASCII to UTF16 but it does fit the definition rather closely.

- In the context of your PyInstaller example, I would say that reflects the non computing definition of the verb to compile: (1) to put together (documents, selections, or other materials) in one book or work, (2) to make (a book, writing, or the like) of materials from various sources, (3) to gather together. Yet isn't that what we call the linker?

- I believe that in all those definitions the nature of the compiler is irrelevant. It may be a software program, a hardware ASIC or it may even be the job description of a person. The relevant part of the definition is the action "to compile".

- I might even go as far as saying that a programmer in a Waterfall organisation is a single pass compiler and a programmer in an Agile organisation is a interactive compiler. They take an algorithm expressed in the business language (a higher level language) and translate it into a programming language (a lower level language) while preserving the meaning. Maybe I would even liken the various issues in communication and improperly defined specs to undefined behaviour in C.
Security through obscurity?

Maybe not.
Have you ever thought that this whole "dream evocation and amplification via text-consumption" thing might be a dead end? I mean, 99.999% of the meaning is coming from your own head anyway. And there is this powerful and toxic illusion of "knowing", which ain't good.

It's basically solipsism-opium. Might be a bad trade.
That dictionary only records the fact that most English speakers now use the word "macro" incorrectly, which was my point, because they do not know Ancient Greek and they follow some previous English speakers who also did not know Ancient Greek, but that did not stop them to use a Greek word they thought as sounding fancy and whose meaning they attempted to guess, without bothering to look in a dictionary, so they have guessed wrong.

This incorrect use of "macro" in English appears to have started in the second half of the 19th century, when the study of the classical languages in school was already in regression.
Personally I've used JSONApi

Pros:

- front-end implementation is near-trivial. I re-wrote half of my framework because I wasn't happy with it in a few days.

- can use some cookbooks for some good front-end patterns

- overall very easy to use, and very easy to extend front-end stuff

Cons:

- Poor back-end implementations. JSONApi Resources kinda sucks. Graphiti might be significantly better.

- No clear pattern for submission of data. You don't want your front-end to contain operational logic, dumb front-ends are the way to go (front-ends do what they are told, they don't make decisions).

- Not the "IT" thing, so not too much big corporate money backing it. :( This is actually kind of a big deal.

This is the biggest problem to overcome. Social media has a monopoly on user bases and platform adoption because they cater to everything poorly, and acquire other better platforms, while strategically maintaining and retaining all the attention of a huge volume of users no matter how bad they get.

It's a very big hurdle to overcome. The best way is to generate vibrance within a niche, promote it in the right places, and to really cater to users, and then maybe after years of losing money and being stressed, you'll have something notable, provided it hasn't devolved into just another huge clone of Facebook by then.

>For the people who buy one of each color and then return all but one, a solution is to only ship one at a time.

Zappos, which is owned by Amazon, essentially encourages people to order multiple sizes and return the ones that don't fit. Presumably there are people who take advantage of such policies to an extreme. There are presumably also people who just wouldn't shop for certain things online otherwise.
I could not agree more. I know people who can afford REI (DINKs) and despite that feel they had the “right” to try and then return items.

Yes, some of this was built in to the price but not to the extent people stretched it.

Nordstroms, I guess when it was not a middling retailer, had similar policies.

But people have lost their moral bearings and it’s all about them, like there is no tomorrow.

It’s little different than looting. Looters sometimes loot immediately needed goods, but often it’s jewelry, TVs, electronics and sneakers. These chronic abusers of return policies are in the same moral category.

Very few people give a shit and care about themselves or society. It’s all a free-for-all, with few exceptions.

Adobe Creative suite (photoshop.illustrator etc) started this ownership ambiguity back in the CS4 era, the last version you could buy on DVDs. There are an awful lot of people running old mac os's to keep using this version. It does phone home and has some suspicious bugs that may be associated with that so some are paranoid enough to keep their dedicated CS4 computer offline.

This is high cost software that people rely on for business but since that era our phones and macs update all the time in the background, rendering sw we thought we owned non operational and requiring 'upgrade$'.

It's insidious and has created a whole generation who feel 'ownership' is ephemeral and at the whim of the sw creator, while being encouraged to think of products like creative suite as pay as you go, pay to play rental services.

We really need to get some user rights laws back in place around the idea that if you buy something you own it permanently because vehicles are rapidly evolving to be rental software cash cows too.

I don't think that when people talk about money being debt, they are denying that the flow will not destroy the debt. The flow surely will destroy the loan.

But when the first loan was made, $10 was given to Bob. But Alice also saw the same $10 as an asset. This created more money in the system, as in, suddenly both Bob and Alice were rich.

And when the debt was finally paid off by Bob, Bob is poor again. The only way more money can come into the system, and Bob can have money again, is if another loan is made.

So it follows that the only way to pay off existing debts is to create more debt because of debt is repaid with just "work", wealth is destroyed, leading to recession/depression.

How Twitter Reduced Search Indexing Latency to One Second
I have been daily driving FreeBSD as a desktop since the last time this article was posted and I love it. It is super consistent and reliable, and after I got it set up, I don't have to worry about anything breaking. I can easily use it daily for coding and web browsing, and it feels as smooth and fast as a Linux setup on the same hardware.

That said, I still have a Linux system for things like gaming, Cuda, and containers. Though, as I never have time to game anyways, I could just use the Linux system as a server.

But, I've used Linux for 10+ years and it only started annoying me recently so I may also get frustrated with freeBSD eventually.
Meanwhile other people argue that, even if twitter reports a wildly wrong number, twitter still isn't at fault.

I highly encourage you to look at this factsheet I only just found today [1]. Some highlights:

> - Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) includes the lifetime costs of building, operating, maintaining, and fueling a power plant. Estimated LCOE for plants built in the near future are: combined cycle natural gas: 3.71 ¢/kWh; advanced nuclear: 6.31 ¢/kWh; and biomass: 8.92 ¢/kWh

and

> - Spent fuel is placed in a storage pool of circulating cooled water to absorb heat and block the high radioactivity of fission products

> - Many U.S. spent fuel pools are reaching capacity, necessitating the use of dry cask storage.

This point is often overlooked. Nuclear waste generates heat. It needs to be actively cooled, possibly for a decade or longer, until it can be stored in dry storage. There's transportation risk there (for tens of thousands of tons per year at current rates) and facilities that need to be maintained to do that. Plus adding water increases the risk of site contamination.

Also consider:

> - ... Managing nuclear waste requires very long-term planning. U.S. EPA was required to set radiation exposure limits in permanent waste storage facilities over an unprecedented timeframe—one million years

> - The U.S. has no permanent storage site.

TIL:

> - The U.S. Price-Anderson Act limits the liability of nuclear plant owners if a radioactive release occurs to $450 million for individual plants and $13.5 billion across all plants.

WHY?

This is the big problem with nuclear: failure modes have incredibly high cost but relatively low likelihood. Companies have limited liability so they get to pocket the profits for under-maintaining plants and move the costs to the government.

In addition to being a bad idea this presents a falsely cheap picture of the true costs of nuclear power.

In this same vein:

> - The Nuclear Waste Policy Act required the U.S. federal government to begin taking control of spent nuclear fuel in 1998.

Another cost shifted to the government.

EDIT: over the years I've learned that the more rabid one side of an argument is, the more likely they are to simply downvote anything they disagree with, regardless of the merit. This, sadly, is my experience with nuclear on HN (which isn't plagued with downvote-as-disagreement like, say, Reddit is). It's not a reason to be anti-nuclear but it sure makes it hard to be swayed by pro-nuclear arguments.

Why do you take Snowden's word as gospel but dismiss a bipartisan Congressional Committee's findings? I think that you are biased and nothing will change your mind. Let's agree to disagree.
> Are we pretending that this isn't the transport of nuclear dirty bomb material

How are you proposing that someone could even open a cask with nefarious purposes and build a bomb without receiving a fatal dose of radiation? Dirty bombs basically aren’t a thing anyway. They would require a lot of material since the heavy and dangerous isotopes wouldn’t hang in the air for long or go very far. To get all of that in the air you need a very large bomb. Essentially your looking T something like a truck bomb that would be hot enough to cook the driver. Totally impractical.
In particular wind is very inexpensive.

Using and maintaining Matano is a fraction of the cost compared to popular non-serverless alternatives like ELK or Spunk. Matano is specifically designed for petabyte-scale security analytics use-cases that don't fit in a traditional SIEM.

The serverless data ingestion pipeline means you don't need to over-provision for ingestion (Logstash and Splunk Forwarders are notorious for related costs / ops in high scale use-cases) in the write path. For reads, since Matano queries Iceberg tables backed by highly-compressed parquet files on object storage you won't pay anything close to what you would for a database or search engine based SIEM.

What on earth is an "American Studies" degree?
I think you're right and not all medicine works on everyone, but if one
antihistamine doesn't work on you, then another one probably will. Like you say,
one works on you, the other doesn't. That seems to be down to genetics, or some
kind of biological characteristic, I guess.

But, for example, I was told that homeopathy doesn't work for me because I don't
believe in it. And I think what the OP says that it's OK if "it" (in this case,
microdosing rather than homeopathy) doesn't work for you then that "is OK too"
is something I hear the most not from people who find that, say, aspirin doesn't
work for them but ibuprofen, or paracetamol, does; but rather what I hear from
people who take a remedy that not only has no effect on others, but has no
documented effect on most people and has no clear mechanism of action, other
perhaps than the placebo effect (which I understand to be regression to the
mean).

So that's why I'm skeptical. With normal medicine, drugs will have an effect on
some people or others regardless of whether someone believes they will or not,
but with alternative remedies, they will only have an effect on those who
believe in them and we can only observe the effect by asking them how they feel
(for example, no homeopathic remedy will ever reduce blood pressure).
