Well, the reason I was pointed to that Psychedelics and Immunomodulation paper is that an acquaintance ingested some of these substances in a very very responsible and safe way and had a significant, sudden, and obvious remission of a chronic autoimmune condition. Completely unexpected. There was NO expectation of this as far as I know. They started trying to dig up any info on what they might have done to cause it and this paper quickly cropped up.

Edit: Please note that “immunomodulation” can mean immunosuppression! Take care!

There’s lots of science on this stuff. Surprising amounts. I strongly advocate for reading it. It’s surprisingly readable once some key elements of the jargon are picked up!
I completely agree that psychedelics make the functioning of the brain (and I would argue the whole nervous system) more obvious. Given that they cause subnetworks that don't normally communicate, to communicate, and vice versa, I interpreted it as two steps in the visual pipeline talking directly to each other when they would normally have to go through a separate network that processes motion. Or perhaps signals from an unrelated network filtering into the pipeline and messing with the interpretation of the visual input.

Obviously video codecs should be optimized for sober psychovisuals. It would be wasteful and impractical to do otherwise.

That is most definitely not the case in Australia. I'm a dev, I never work weekends. I do sometimes work later in the day meaning some weeks are probably a bit more than 40 hours, but I also take long lunch breaks or leave early so some weeks are also probably slightly less. This is the case for all the devs I know as well, and more than a small amount of regular OT is seen as cause to quit and get work elsewhere.

There is an exception for dev managers, who seem to work longer hours generally but definitely nothing approaching 80 hours
Considering the energy requirements to boil off that much water (70tonnes * reduction ratio) and form factor - notably the lack of a tall evaporating column - I'd hazard that they are concentrating via reverse osmosis. So the inside probably looks something like:

Pump -> Heat Exchanger [Cold to Hot]
-> heater (sanitize and start cooking the stock)

-> continuously stirred vessel or just a large volume of insulated tube (cook time set by volume of vessel/tubing)

-> the same Heat Exchanger [Hot to Cold]

-> Membrane Separator [probably but not necessarily a bunch of tubes] which splits into Product and effluent [more or less pure water]. This step is also popular in Maple Syrup production to cut down on boiling, which is slow, costly, and can degrade the product due to temperature.

-> Product IBC cube
-> Sewer drain

Plus a bunch of valves and instrumentation for control and monitoring.
If centrist is defined by the minimization of distance between a population's preference and a candidate's position then I don't see the problem. Why would you want an extremist? Or why would you want someone that is less representative of the population as a whole? Isn't the point of democracy to minimize this distance?

I'd actually argue that if approval was used Bernie would have won. One can vote Bernie honestly but also approve of Hillary as a safety. And this would have had a larger edge with Score or STAR. Bernie was quite popular and frankly a lot of people that also voted Trump also liked Bernie because he was an outsider.
He doesn’t technically have the unilateral power to prevent future people from being charged federally with simple possession, but in reality, he kind of does (while he’s president).
Pardoning people during election season is very, very much a mentality shift.

In the past Presidents and Governors pardoned people on their last days in office - when they’re least accountable to electors.

Now they (one anyway) is doing it right before and election.

That’s really big.
It's much easier to offer up a flippant rhetorical parry than to actually make an argument. Cognitive dissonance and all that.

Here's a question: How is it that we're able to measure the degree to which various racial minorities are underrepresented in congress, in colleges, in industry and in Emmy Award nominations? How is it that we're able to measure racial disparities in income, in COVID exposure, in medical outcomes and in every other conceivable context, if race is such a tricky concept to nail down?
I love the juxtaposition of this comment with its sibling. Comedy gold.

I'm curious about scale of this too!

Florida might have 58000 Teslas (https://michiganstopsmartmeters.com/how-many-teslas-are-in-f...). If 1% were submerged in a given year, and 100% later caught fire, that's 580 potentially horrific structure fires. If it's 1%... then it's 5. Florida has about 50,000 structure fires per year (https://www.myfloridacfo.com/division/sfm/ffirs/sfm2020ar.pd...).

> If you have a position that requires 40hrs/wk or less and no work on weekends whatsoever, consider yourself lucky.

That's backwards. If you have a position that requires over 40hrs/wk, or any weekend work without overtime pay, consider yourself exploited (and if you're doing it without it being required, consider yourself a scab). Join a union, quit that job, or both.
To expand...

Almost all sound emitted by turbines should be infrasound. It should not be audible at all, unless it is in resonance with something else. And infrasound can be detected by measuring gear up to 30km from the original source [0]. If there is anything audible - then the wind turbine is in violation of the sound regulations that is is built within.

There are a _lot_ of sound regulations taken into account when they're being built. At the distances shown in the video... There should not be any effect on the people. And it is a well studied area. We are aware of the impacts of infrasound, hence why we regulate things that may emit it.

Do you have a link about this? Because he's shown hostility towards marijuana legalization, promised to veto it if it was sent to him, and in the past supported draconian drug laws.
Yeah the title bugged me as well. Non-contiguous is definitely the right word here. The word nonlinear is massively overused these days.
Ask HN: Archive Logs from Loki
So loki + promtail with grafana works for monitoring logs. Now how to backup/archive all these logs from Loki?
Ian Buck wrote the initial version, right? I'm sure multiple teams polished the aforementioned software. It's just that it was this one or two engineers came up with the idea, built the the first working version that the other fellow engineers thought impossible or too expensive or unworthy to build, and the rest was the history.
No, and here's why:

HN's page makes so few requests I can count them on one hand.

Compare that to a typical website and you'll see a different story. For example:

The main website of my employer makes 86 requests which takes 7.13s to load. But with some clever resource deferring/ordering I've been able to get the DomContentLoaded event to fire (and appear loaded) in 2.81s.

Unfortunately I won't be able to get that number any lower without some considerable months of investment on optimising that website, but that developer time is always prioritised elsewhere.
Prescription inserts (we're working with vendors on this) are possible, and the focus distance of our headset (and most headsets, I think) is in that region.

I'm pretty sure the entire point of them is using them for military purposes, but things will get exciting when the police gets their hand on them, and even more exciting when the criminals do.

Yes? Are you new to MTBs? You can easily spend that for one without a motor, and 0.75 HP is double what an average rider can sustain with pedal power. It's not class-leading levels of power, but can still be an awesome bike assuming the weight is low enough.

This isn't a used 2-stroke dirt bike, it's an electric MTB - completely different.
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response. I'm digesting your points and have some research papers and thoughts I'm going to share tomorrow, but here's an immediate response on #2.

(2) Regarding: "beginning and end", "input and output"

It's my understanding that neural networks suck at learning from periodic functions, one of the most basic functions of importance to human society
and natural science.

I'd argue that this isn't JUST because of the math, it's also the assumptions being made.

Regarding: "visual cortex of your brain has layers".

You're talking about an instrument of data collection & data filtering. Not an instrument of inference.

Keep digging deeper...And deeper...you will never find a neuron that can recognize your Grandma. Or your cat. Or that guy you hate at the grocery store.

Do you think Apple would approve an app that just offlines Wikipedia?
Monero and other less well-known currencies solve all of that. You can say it's bad or useless for other reasons. But my direct experience with dozens of P2P transfers, outside exchanges, both paying people for products and services and being paid myself, is enough for me to know that the future involves private cryptocurrencies one way or another. It may be akin to the taboo nature of torrenting movies at some point, but it's not going anywhere. CBDCs, traditional fiat, crypto, and even precious metals (yea we used to use those too!) will all have their use cases over the next decade. Paying people (and being paid) with precious metals and private crypto feels so amazing, so freeing, I recommend everyone give it a try.
This commercial product uses the CBRS frequency allocations, which they (and others) point out is already built into commercially available devices, like iPhones. Is there not an OpenBTRS or Open Air Interface way of utilizing CBRS?

> They lay operational traps everywhere in their quest to get things done fast (like directly embedding config data in code to avoid fixing the config format).

Specific to your example, rather than the sentiment, I think embedding config in code is highly valuable when you don't have a lengthy deployment cycle and have direct access to the source. It gives your compiler more information which can help prevent bad configurations (which are the cause of failures more often than anything else from what I've seen). Developers also have a better shot at feeling how badly configurable a particular component is when the configuration is code. It's much easier to hide the overly-configurable systems under a rug when the configuration is far away from implementation, in a DSL, in a different repository, or only visible at deployment.
Sure, but then there is another election. After the election is before the election.
Surprisingly good prove given components. Weight is still up there though. Orbea Rise seems like a better bet.
IT kind of is true. Sure the death count directly attributable to nuclear reactors is low. But Fukushima caused the entire countries fleet to shut down - to the present day. Safety isn't about lives lost or health, it's about financial repurcussions of the accidents - both directly at the site (take a look at Fukushima today) and the effects on the wider industry, shutting down all the surrounding power plants, and forcing Japan to import fossils to compensate.
> the dot com bubble had nothing specifically to do with Clinton. Similarly, WTF did Enron have to do with the Clinton administration

Who is responsible for allowing these things to happen if not the President at the time? Sure, there are limitations to executive power but far more leeway in raising the alarm via the bully pulpit and plenty of scope for using the investigation and regulatory powers that did exist and it would have been a great opportunity for spending political capital to act or at least try. I’m not aware of any evidence of any of that being done and the notion that Clinton couldn’t have known or couldn’t have done anything at all about it is ridiculous. Therefore it’s the implicit Clinton policy of neglect or inaction which is where the culpability lies. I’m happy to be proven wrong and I’m not blaming Clinton alone or even primarily but he deserves plenty of blame nonetheless.
While an extreme drunken rant that part refers to Keffals being allegedly involved in helping kids from ages 12 an on (by her own admission [0]) to transition. There's also some involvement with a wiki that offers information about seemingly sketchy hormone suppliers and guidance on using them that apparently also caters to minors [1].

Maybe they involve their parents, maybe not. If not that could be considered grooming. Lets face it, most of us were lost and dumb idiots as teenagers and teenagers are extremely susceptible to outside influence.

The rant in question starts at around 3:38:05 [2] preceded by another drunken free speech absolutist rant.

Abstraction is not a panacea. It's often the root cause of significant technical debt. Abstracting as late as possible is often the best course of action, as it give you more information about how to abstract from the initial implementation.
Really? Since when?

I'm not a US citizen, and I've been to the US a few times. The security measures are about the same level as Japan. The "worst" thing that happened to me lately on an airport was an officer talked to me in a friendly tone but took my passport for inspection and returned it to me about 15 minutes later.

The only thing that can remotely be described as "brutal" is when I entered the US via land (from Canada) the first time around 2008 if I remember correctly. They searched out stuff thoroughly and we had to wait about an hour or so. But they were very polite and professional about it. No "threats" or intimidation of any kind.
I know very very little about Crypto. Am I correct to assume Radeon GPU are not used much for mining? It seems to be mostly a Nvidia thing.

I have a firm belief that presidents should be accomplishing these things in the legislature through party discipline and direct appeals to voters to help him rid himself of specific legislators, of either party, that are standing in the way of things that have overwhelming popular support.

Instead, they just throw treats to their base when they're in trouble. Treats that are written on water. If I hear another thing about the Dreamers.

People keep saying that he can't do anything because he's not a dictator. He can't do anything because he doesn't believe in it, and even if he did doesn't have any ideological standards for his Congressional party that would ever get him majority support for anything that doesn't have lobbying checks behind it.
And Henry Ford.
That was problematic too because the overriding goal with an oil platform is to get it pumping asap due to the high value of the product and size of costs already sunk.

A wind turbine (even an extremely large one) otoh is only earning $400/hr so if you spend a million dollars getting it up 3mo earlier you've made a loss.

I'm sure some have adapted though.

The UN has the final say.

"A similar process is followed in deleting a drug from the Schedules or transferring a drug between Schedules. For instance, at its 33rd meeting, the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence recommended transferring tetrahydrocannabinol to Schedule IV of the Convention, citing its medical uses and low abuse potential.[17] However, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs has declined to vote on whether to follow the WHO recommendation and reschedule tetrahydrocannabinol."
I just listened to a freakonomics podcast episode on this topic where they pointed out that more people die of opioid overdose in the US alone every year than have died from the entire history of nuclear reactor incidents.

So, if I am just cherrypicking, where is the majority of states with uncensored radio and music? Where do you see nipples on magazines in supermarkets? Where can you say "shit", "piss", "fuck", "cunt", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", and "tits" on TV and in movies without repercussion? In which states can you bathe nude or even just topless? Or just even change on the beach? Where can I consume alcohol in public as a norm, without brown bag? Where can I simply drink in a car, as long as I am not driving, or, as a driver, not exceeding the legal alcohol limit?

That's a good argument, but notice what I'm saying is that stealing the bitcoin wallet keys is the only known way to steal bitcoins (I'm not saying bitcoins cannot be stolen, nor that it would be wrong to phrase that bitcoin was stolen as the result of compromised keys). If you're hiding gold under a bed one could steal your door keys, break the door through brute force, set your door on fire, get in through the window, make a hole through the floor under the bed, wait until you get the trash out and sneak in, and so forth. Bitcoin allow you to be concerned with only one thing: keeping your keys secret.
