I have had this reaction to cilantro as well. It was very fun and enjoyable. The odd thing is that it's only happened once, with freshly picked cilantro from my garden. I haven't been able to reproduce the effect, although I would like to. I didn't know about this feature of the plant, so thanks for posting.

I appreciate you calling this out.

I want to take a step back and generalize a little here, because I think there are a huge number of hypothetical "ideals" we tell ourselves friendships (and families and relationships) are "supposed" to be, but in reality basically never are - and when we hold ourselves to these ridiculously high standards literally we just end up isolating.

For example I think a lot of people act like lying is a huge betrayal of trust, but white lies are more-or-less a social lubricant (even comfort-lies that might prevent the person from growing, like "Yeah it was him/her, not you.").

Another example is romantic idea that we're 100% into 1 person romantically and 0% into anybody else until the moment we break up.
> Ketamine is normally dosed based on body weight[0]. For depression IV, the dose is 0.1–0.75mg/kg/40mins, most commonly 0.5mg/kg/40mins

If we're being specific, the FDA-approved treatment of ketamine for depression is a fixed 84mg dose. It is not adjusted for body weight.

(I did invite irony by saying that it wasn't a typo - it's 84 and 56 for redoing, not 86 and 54).
Yeah, one thing that I've been really disappointed with is how UNRELIABLE the "cloud" is - unless you engineer all the reliability in the software itself.

We have the technology and the capability to do things like run a VM and have it move between hardware when that hardware fails or needs replacement.

but that would cost money.

This is great news. In the unlikely case these scientists are looking for some advice, I would say don't worry too much about cute futuristic "I grow my plants in the shape of furniture like an elf in dwarf fortress" use cases, but concentrate on making artificial lumber that is about the same quality as the commonly used lumber in the world.

If you provide a no-difference plug in replacement for commodity lumber products that is artificially made and cheaper, you can (1) make lots of money very quickly, and (2) make a very quick and positive difference in deforestation trends and (3) quickly decrease prices of housing and furniture.

Then you can worry about 3-d printing live furniture.
AWS has capacity issues you can generally mitigate. Azure however will just lock you out of a solution completely and tell you to switch regions as if that was some trivial thing.
As I understand your post, an explicit version of your argument would be something like "the level of suffering that nature intends for animals far exceeds the level of suffering experienced by animals farmed for meat, so farming animals for meat provides them with a better life than they deserve."

When assessing arguments like this I find it useful to substitute animals for a hypothetical population of hominids with cognitive abilities typical of nonhuman mammals. If an island populated by such people were discovered, and they turned out to generally live nasty, brutish and short lives for some reason, would that justify farming them for meat?

The answer is clearly no. If you were to ever encounter a hominid of any cognitive ability who was being farmed for meat, you would be horrified and would report the situation to law enforcement. That individual's treatment by the operators of the farm would qualify as brutal regardless of how much people of the same background tend to suffer out in the world.

I don't think there is a valid reason to treat hypothetical hominids with cognitive abilities typical of nonhuman mammals differently from actual nonhuman mammals.
This was the model when I joined Eastern Airlines' reservation system (aka, System One) out of college, although the training was entirely in-house; IBM was not directly involved, that I could tell.

Vector code with lots of branches absolutely exists. You can run it on a GPU, but because they don't dedicate transistors to OoO, branch prediction, and good prefetchers, the code won't run very well.

Lack of standards/QA. So many battery packs out of china for ebikes, scooters, etc... are just poorly made, wires running everywhere that get pinched and short out, poor quality BMS with no testing done, just jammed into a metal case sometimes with no mounting points or anything, so they just rattle around in there.

Plus some packs will use cells that aren't very good quality, and are more likely to catch fire if overcharged.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Brazil is a continental country, I'm sure you know about it. My family and I come from the southern part, it's basically pampa downn here, a green savana. That's why Argentina, Uruguai and south Brazil are the best places to raise cattle in the world, it's just grass from horizon to horizon. The average HN user is so oblivious to anything other than this idiotic 1st world mainstream view it shocks me. The propaganda about the Amazon destruction is hilarious coming from a brazilian native point of view.

> My wife thinks that cilantro tastes of soap. And I theorized this is a genetic disposition.

Your theory is fact. https://flavourjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/20...

Here, we present the results of a genome-wide association study among 14,604 participants of European ancestry who reported whether cilantro tasted soapy, with replication in a distinct set of 11,851 participants who declared whether they liked cilantro. We find a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) significantly associated with soapy-taste detection that is confirmed in the cilantro preference group. This SNP, rs72921001 (p = 6.4 × 10−9, odds ratio 0.81 per A allele), lies within a cluster of olfactory receptor genes on chromosome 11. Among these olfactory receptor genes is OR6A2, which has a high binding specificity for several of the aldehydes that give cilantro its characteristic odor. We also estimate the heritability of cilantro soapy-taste detection in our cohort, showing that the heritability tagged by common SNPs is low, about 0.087.
Only if the edge counts, otherwise we need more dimensions like all good theoretical mathematics.
I think it can. If you have, say char a; int b; in a struct, so there is padding in between. Then do s.a= x;s.b=y; If x and y happen to have the same memory layout, the compiler can replace the 2 assignements with 1 big transfer, and copy random things in the padding.

It's a matter of priorities.

Do I want you to be able to install an emulator? Of course. This is pure protectionism by a monopoly.

Do I want my family to be able to install a fake banking or health app? No.

So based on this principle, I would say jailbraking is a viable option for tech-savvy people who really need something special on their phone that is being unfairly restricted by Apple.
Co-founder of HowdyGo here, would love any feedback people might have.

I built HowdyGo because at a former company I founded, we had a small addressable market, high-value leads, and unfortunately very long sales cycles.

Our customers needed time to build trust in the product we offered and that meant it was a necessity to have actual conversations with them, not text chats.

To add to that - their biggest scandal to date (Cambridge Analytica) was also scraping at the core. More complex, but still, it was not really a hack or breach.

The VC money is nothing new. Throw money at a handful of possible game-changers and see what sticks. The customers did not simply buy crypto. They gambled it. That's a gamble on top of a gamble being run by a few people in the Bahamas. What's odd is that those gambles were risky within reason, but the fallout was just pure human corruption and/or incompetence. And putting FTT on balance sheets as actual value is laughable.
It's not lockdowns. They had lockdowns all over the world. The US is almost the only countries in which roads became more dangerous during the pandemic (see second chart here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/27/upshot/road-deaths-pedest...).

> I'm very curious, how did staying at a job throw you off your feet more than doing a random minwage gig?

At the time, minimum wage was a lot less and other expenses (helping pay for my now-ex-wife's college and car insurance, then a whole long story of undiagnosed ADD) made doing so untenable, especially since about half of that time was before the ACA was in a usable state.

I'll note however that there is a difference between fatigue (1), an unhealthy working environment (2), and abuse (3).

The job in question was in category 3. It is just over 10 years ago, at that job that my boss told me I couldn't have a day off when my mother had a 50/50 shot of surviving the next 48 hours.

Category 2, is something you have to recognize as such, because it has a subtle difference between 1 and 3. (Or, maybe, 3 is a subset of 2.) I've been in that boat, and it tends to be a situation where you can't take a proper break, or every 1-week vacation you ever take makes you regret taking it.
Serious question.

For those who have had close friends in their late teens to mid 20s, do you still have close friends after a significant life event like getting a job, getting married, moving to a new city, having a baby, etc?

I relate with the author of this article in my 20s, but cannot relate at all in my 30s because my life has significantly changed (for the better).

> For lumber, there is an end user who wants the lumber to e.g. make a house. There might be some middlemen who buy it and then resell it, but they are also generally providing value in some way: storing it to smooth over demand variance, doing arbitrage to improve pricing, moving it from one location to another, etc. There's never just an infinite chain of middlemen selling it for ever increasing prices.

What about something like Ethereum? There is an end user who wants the Ethereum in order to pay network fees so they can register a domain name, move a stable coin, etc. I realize this isn't the primary use, but people are betting that it will be. Is that really any different than speculating on a startup that isn't yet profitable, but could be in the future?

And since something like Bitcoin is fundamentally trying to be a currency.. Why is this any different than something like the Russian Ruble? People want it because other people want it (medium of exchange). The differences are that:

1. You're required to use it to pay taxes, or people with guns will put you in jail

2. A central party can issue unlimited amounts of the currency and give it to whoever they want

Fundamentally, why is it so crazy to have a native digital currency that isn't owned by any one entity, has a set issuance schedule, and can be used as a medium of exchange. Governments have been doing this for centuries, and now we have the technology to make an arguably "better" version. Why not at least try? The real arguments against it seem to be: people are speculating on it.
Ergo: we quickly need laws to forbid chilis!

What else could be the conclusion?

I'm waiting for it and will say 'told you so!'.
It's crazy how just a few years ago, many web (turned Node) devs insisted that static types are overrated and one can totally maintain large code bases without. Now with the TS hype, the same people preach hoe useful static types are. I think it was just a mix of stockholm syndrome and lack of experience what working with static types is like.
To build your own menu bar app, I would recommend trying out xbar[1].

You can write "apps" in any language. The output of your program is used to construct the menu bar app, so if your program outputs this:

Hello
---
Open HN | href=https://news.ycombinator.com/

Then it will create a menu bar entry titled "Hello" with a single element in its drop-down menu, which will open Hacker News when clicked. You place your program in a specific directory for xbar to run, and it can be configured to run at a given frequency, e.g. once a minute to report the results of an API call or some measurement from your system, etc. Up to you to build the menu bar app you want.

I think it's more about chaos: a deterministic system where the outcome is extremely sensitive to the initial conditions. Actual coin tosses function reasonably well as random variables because most humans cannot control or measure the initial conditions of the toss well enough to determine the outcome before observing it.

A computer model using a deterministic physics system would be completely aware of the initial conditions of each toss. You'd presumably want to introduce some randomness in those initial conditions (using e.g. a pseudorandom number generator) to simulate human coin tosses.
After a cursory glance it would appear the we could reduce animal suffering by focusing on eating the larger animals that produce more food. The idea being, eat the big ones, feed more people, kill less animals.

I'm not entirely serious about this. But I'm curious where the logical flaw is.
on the other hand with more options you can express more and write safer code (for example with constinit which solves static order init fiasco...)
And if you don't have enough knowledge you can just stick to const.

What re alternatives for a system programming language?
(Rust seems to be fine, but still it's not super easy...)

I don't trust Apple to do the right thing here. I don't think they'll make a rash decision, but I can't really trust them to make the correct decision.

Honestly, at this kind of scale I e.g. think US/EU legisligation should kick in, rather than whatever the Apple exec team desires for whatever personal or business-oriented reasons.
The shock people experience when you tell them any sorting, especially sorting chronologically, requires an "algorithm" is disappointing.
Seconded. Blisteringly fast to compile. No weird dependencies. A functional and sane choice in a broken world gone mad.
I love this, it's very well-written.

For some people this kind of thing comes naturally/intuitively without necessarily being explicit about it; and for some people being explicit about it won't actually work anyway.

But for those like me who like and find helpful analyzing it and being explicit about it, this is very well-done!
> Can we just agree that unless the TV is set to "theatre" mode, everything needs to be visible in normal daylight?

That would require:

1. agreeing on what a "normal" amount of daylight is

2. agreeing on the distribution of that daylight (one source vs. many)

3. agreeing on a permissible range of angles the TV must be relative to the light source(s)

4. standardizing which type of ambient light rejection film each TV must use

5. standardizing an average and peak brightness expected from all TV sets

6. standardizing a minimum real (not "dynamic") contrast ratio expected from all TV sets

7. requiring that each TV set sold is calibrated to Rec.709 for SDR and Rec.2020 for HDR

This list is laughable when you examine just how bad a typical "Best Buy™ Black Friday Special!" TV is, even after it has been put through the ringer by a professional ISF calibrator.
> Also, GitHub Discussions are for discussions, not GitHub Issues. GitHub themselves say that Issues is "often referred to as GitHub's bug-tracking system"

That quote is directly below a quite clear explanation of what issues are for: "are useful for discussing specific details of a project such as bug reports, planned improvements and feedback."

Each project can decide for themselves at where they draw the line in terms of what they want where. That is a good thing, it makes github issues flexible for a wide range of projects that are organized in a wide variety of manners. It seems like a shame to lose that flexibility to make it easier for people who are too lazy to do more than look at the count of open issues when evaluating the health of a project.

Beats me! I don't expect it to be more efficient today, it's brand new tech. My hope is that it will be much more efficient as research continues & economies of scale start to kick in. It may well turn out to be a dead end, but until that's clear, I think it is exciting to think about.

My daughter does the same thing with modern UIs and doesn't have much of an issue. I don't think many kids these days are struggling to identify various functionality of the multitude of apps available. Sure UIs are different today and maybe to us older people it's byzantine, but the newer generation of users seem to be able to pick up quite easily.

I wouldn't be surprised if when we were kids, there were older people saying just how bloated and inefficient Windows 95's UI was, with all the mouse clicking and things hidden behind menus, etc etc...
I saw that. I'm saying that while this bot farm may be new, this was a longstanding problem for years, even under the "fully-staffed" Twitter. And clearly, not all of this problem can be attributed to bots, since I saw this on practically every hashtag including non-political ones.
I'd probably use Highway in a new project; thanks for your work on it! In my main existing project, though, Highway-like code already exists as a side effect of supporting 16-byte vectors and AVX2 simultaneously, and I'd also have to give up the buildable-as-C99 property which has occasionally simplified e.g. FFI development.

> It feels like you need to lean on people emotionally in order to actually become closer.

I do feel like a lot of friendship comes down to interdependence, which I see as a good thing. But it's not always emotional, it could be that he helps you fix your motorcycle and you let him rant about his ex-wife. Or maybe you rely on this person's great taste in video games.

But yeah in general I think being open enough to gently "ask for help" in one form or another from people helps them grow close to you.
Stay up a few minutes or an hour, letting tiredness grow and caffeine decline until you're on the right side of that curve again?
Good sales (which I'm not), is all about aligning with the customer: solve their problems for them, and they'd be happy to pay for it. Getting them to buy stuff they won't need is a sure way to loose future business.
Crypto in general is kind of like watching people re-learn the last thousand years of banking practices.

ISO Advice from Bioinformaticians
I am a recent BSc in biology grad and I am considering a career in bioinformatics, genomics, or proteomics. Over the past few months, I have started to teach myself the basics of programming. I was hoping to get in contact with anyone currently working in any of these fields to better understand what the job looks like and what the best next steps might be.

Also looking for an internship that might help me better understand what it is like to work in the field, but most seem only open to MSc and PhD grads. I am more than willing to continue my education once I get a better feel whether it is the industry for me.

Any advice, tips, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Yeah absolutely accurate for their age. Will their age change things? I know it did for me when I approached 30.
