Can anyone explain to me how "Ignore previous directions" works? It's like a meta-command, right? Like there's some state stored somewhere, and this is clearing the state and going back to a clean slate? Surely something like that must be programmed in? In which case, why include it at all? Seems like it would be simpler to just require starting a new session a la ChatGPT. The alternative, that this is an emergent behavior, is a little bit frightening to me.

hlt handling would be neat to know. IIRC from your earlier posts (and Andrew Jenner's) that was random logic when I kind of expected that to be handled by ucode (but I guess makes sense that it's probably one off logic anyway and doesn't really make sense to abstract out into ucode for that one instruction). Do parts of the core get clock gated? Particularly the dynamic pieces that one would expect to drain out. What does recovery from halted state look like internal to the core and is there any other cleanup that needs to occur when starting back up?

The latter. http://pascal.hansotten.com/niklaus-wirth/recollections-abou...

“Sophistication in syntax analysis was very much in style in the 1960s, allegedly because of the power and flexibility required to process high-level languages. It occurred to me then that a much simpler and more perspicuous method could well be used, if the syntax of a language was chosen with the process of its analysis in mind. The second attempt at building a compiler therefore began with its formulation in the source language itself, which by that time had evolved into what was published as Pascal in 1970 [Wirth, 1970], The compiler was to be a single-pass system based on the proven top-down, recursive-descent principle for syntax analysis.”

> It's interesting to see how the language changed over time from "foreign born" to illegal immigrant depending on who was doing the immigrating:

1. you seem to be implying that during periods of "white" immigration, americans were fine but the public changed their tune when it became south american/asian. However, irish/italian immigrants also received pushback. Specifically, irish were hated because they were catholic, and itlians weren't considered white back then.

2. You can also flip this around to say that as a society, we've gotten more accurate with our wording. Rather than lumping all immigrants (legal and illegal) into one bucket, we take care to point out that we're only against the illegal type of immigration. That seems like a win to me.

> This is a popular take, but I found relatively little difference in how my bank handles CC and debit card fraud. In both cases, they credited the disputed amount to me right away.

There is indeed usually not much difference in how banks handle the fraud on credit cards and debit cards.

But it is vital to understand that with credit cards, you are off the hook on fraud due to regulations (in the USA, don't know other countries laws). With debit cards, you're probably off the hook on fraud only because the bank wants to be nice in the name of customer service (usually and only up to a point).

So with debit card fraud the bank might decide they don't really want to keep you as a customer and things become your problem. With a credit card it'll never be your problem because the regulations make it so.

You're not paying enough attention. The last pan I bought that had PFAS-based non-stick coating stated:

(a) do not heat above 220C
(b) do not use metal utensils

This isn't because they think these things won't happen (they know they will, and you do too). And it isn't because they want to ensure the longevity of your pan (the opposite is true). It's because they can say that the pan was used incorrectly, as highlighted by FDA testing parameters, and therefore liability for any ingesting of hazardous material is the user's problem.

> 1) Why do people take opiods the first time

that the GP is getting at. While doctors over-prescribing opiates is definitely a thing (esp. in the US), I'm not convinced that many people get hooked on opiates due to partying. I think it's more commonly:

"Used as an escape from a life that is unmanagable for some reason"

That's not conspirational. There's good evidence to show that life circumstances have a big effect on both initially becoming addicted and success when attempting recovery. The answer to this might look like a better welfare state or similar.
Yea its scary because communists normally pave the way for the fascists. No matter who wins we all lose.
The implication of your first claim seems to be that fringe opinions would never become mainstream in society. I think essentially all of human history contradicts that pretty well...
I think what makes technology so hard to be optimistic about is that there are two sides of the coin. There is the side that this is a utility for our species, that tech should exist to serve us better, that things should get more efficient and take less time. That side exists entirely in opposition to the other side of the coin, that is most likely to win out as its the more profitable side. That is the side that tech is merely a product to be marketed like any other, that it should further a profitable status quo versus introduce something new that might not be as profitable, that taking up more users time is more profitable because you can monetize more of it, etc.

All the incentives of our society, are aligned to give us a lot more of the latter sort of products, and not much of the former. Imagine if the wheel were invented today; how many times will a dozen companies have reinvented it in ten years time trying to get around the patent, each with their own patentable twists to the idea? I don't believe this sort of thinking can be sustainable for long.
Well the idea is not for everyone to get OUD vaccines. They would be targeted to people with OUD. If you did have OUD, this treatment would unfortunately probably not work for you due to your cardiac problem. However, depending on the severity of OUD and how effective this vaccine turns out to be, it might be worth forgoing the possibility of surgery.
Of course, without credit cards, people could only spend what they have so demand would fall, at least in the short term (or merchants would have to go back to offering credit themselves like the old days).

Credit card companies also offer a whole bunch of services to users like chargebacks and disputed that make it easier to enforce things like warranties.

Plus there are social benefits like reduced crime and saved time and energy visiting banks etc.

I am not an expert on that side of the industry, but I'll say that there's good reason to believe their business model is viable. People subscribe and unsubscribe from streaming services (Netflix, HBO, etc.) as they find shows they're interested in or when content they care about wanes. I've subscribed to CBS for Star Trek and canceled after the season ends.

There's no reason to assume podcasting would behave differently: if there's compelling content, people will go out of their way to consume it. The trick is making audio that people will want to listen to.
I think no matter what you write, the user can always write a prompt that causes a logical contradiction (Gödel, Escher, Bach). At that point, the results are up for grabs.

As a hiker I find paper maps absolutely essential and far easier to use than anything digital. Maybe it's because of that familiarity that I print or buy paper maps whenever I'm going on a trip more than a few hours' drive from home. I also rely heavily on printed maps and guidebooks for any extended travel and for trip planning, which are excruciating if you're relying solely on the internet. Can't say I've ever used a map for art.

There was originally a $7,500 federal tax credit available. Tesla's eligibility for the that tax credit was cut in half at the start of 2019 and fully ended at the start of 2020, so anyone buying in 2020 or later would have paid the sticker price, unless they benefitted from state-level tax credits.

I think the Model Y qualifies for the new tax credit that just took effect, though there's an income limit and other restrictions.

When pressing Ctrl+Enter, did you see the green "Loaded!" notification in the bottom right? If so, then I guess installing the Kotlin plugin worked.

> Opening the menu with Ctrl+Shift+A doesn't show the bulk refactor script

The Ctrl+Shift+A menu from the default keymap that I'm talking about is the "Actions" dialog. You can also get there via "Navigate -> Search Everywhere" and then selecting the "Actions" tab (or just searching in All).

Also you only have to select a single folder/package and it will be processed recursively. I did not test what happens when you select multiple folders. Might be fine, might explode.

edit: Just realized the script I pasted here does not emit the "Loaded!" log message on load. So disregard those comments. If you want to verify it loads correctly, add this as the last line:

log("Loaded!")

edit: HN rate limited my account again, so I'm not allowed to post any new comments for the next few hours. Good luck!

If you do wind up using this script and want to modify it, it is helpful to read https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/psi.html & to install the PsiViewer plugin from the marketplace.

DevOps and hosting side projects initially. I never approached full utilization (CPU or memory) with either one as a home server, so now I have a third Precision 7810T with 32 cores (dual Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors) and 32GB of memory that hosts all my side project infrastructure at home (in addition to my website).

Lately I've been doing distributed computing, machine learning, and cybersecurity side projects with them. I can run a variety of environments and tools while still using them to game or for everyday computer tasks (running several multi-core VMs is no problem with this kind of hardware).
>Mastodon doesn’t speak for decentralization

That's kind of the point, IMHO.

Mastodon doesn't speak for decentralization, it is decentralized. And that's not really splitting hairs here, it's an important distinction.

I could set up a Mastodon instance (although Writefreely[1] and Pixelfed[2] are more my speed) that advocated for centralized everything. I could even ban folks who argue for decentralization and delete any comments they make in favor of same.

It's a tool that allows folks to speak for themselves, without a central corporate authority dictating what's acceptable and what isn't.

A likely explanation is that China is using the cartels to wage a 21st century opium war.

Recreational opioid use is extremely common. People seek out opioids for their recreational value, including drug-naive users.
I don't see any issues with what you've described. If I were you I'd challenge the interpretation that not reading every single thing you find interesting is a bad thing.

The fact is there will always be too much for anyone to do. It might help to think about the issue you're having like how you think about FOMO.
Have you built a Billion $$$ company? If so your comment about your own hiring is worthless. Anyone can run a small business. There are literally millions of SMBs

For large companies with public investors, there is a risk of not scaling at the right time.

History is filled with failed companies that didn't scale during 2012-2022 and were conservative.

History is also filled with idiots who claimed bubble and predicting crash every year.

If I have limited ambition of staying a $10 Million company, I can absolutely play it safe and hire very conservatively.

Scaling is a Risk/Reward play and that's what the investors pay the premium and expect rewards
Black and white thinking that leads people to decry "elitist thinking" is exactly a signal of a person I never want to work with, because such un-nuanced understanding of tradeoffs required to work on professional projects is demonstrably beyond their current understanding of things that do exist for good reason.

Except that its nonsense. People know what opiates are. If you keep taking them and dont stop, you get physical withdrawal. That wont happen over night and its not "the worst sickness imaginable". And unless you did something even more stupid like switching to methadone it will be over in a few days.

It is quite simple, at some point, you decided to continue taking them despite knowing this to be problematic.

I would also like to add, that i have met very few addicts who blame the drug. Its most of the time relatives who like the story of their loved one getting tricked.

If it was only the fear of withdrawal, the opioid crisis would be solved next week. Literally. But the unfortunate problem is that people relapse. Because what ever made them take opioids every day didnt get fixed with a withdrawal. And if your life still sucks, its very easy to go back.
This is a good point - effort can lead to essential social counterbalance. Someone I enjoy time with for the different POV however, may be more likely to also not be what I'd think of as a friend. (An uber driver for example.)

Perhaps its similar to this place - I wouldn't necessarily consider folks here "friends", but I yet may just as deeply value some of these interactions specifically for the different ideas and opinions they expose me to.

Thanks for this one :)
I don't know... I think there's a middle ground where we can have a decentralized base with large players that add convenience for naïve users. Email is a successful decentralized service.

> There's good reason for my harsh criticism, and I don't think most people truly realize how bad the situation is.

No. I'm saying, as someone that understands the nuances better than you that, focusing on the fentanyl statistic is misleading.

> It alone is responsible for what is quickly becoming the deadliest drug epidemic of all time.

No it is not "alone" responsible. All the other stuff: oxy, hydro, tramadol, heroin, morphine is more responsible for the current mess. People didn't routinely end up with opioid addictions due to fentanyl as much as all these other medications (and illicit heroin, not all addictions are the doing of big pharma)

The fact that they are now seeking out illegal suppliers and that invariably these end up being fentanyl based due to the convenience for that organized criminal enterprise is why fentanyl shows up so much.

It's not the root cause though. And the forces that make it appealing in the illegal market would be present regardless of its legal status as a prescription medication.
Seriously.

> 3. The ability to detect these compounds has gotten much better over the years. We’re now talking parts per trillion measurements. At those levels you can find just about anything. A lot of the current panic is a combo of this ability to measure things combined with “2” above around any detection being slated as terrible.

Unfortunately, unlike many other common toxins, PFAS is actually toxic at parts per trillion levels. It’s not just a matter of “we detected trace amounts.”

> 4. Both the reporting and public’s reactions tend to be illogical. PFAS found at a nearby factory? Shut it down. Sue everyone. However a growing body of evidence is finding PFAS in things like synthetic turf playing fields and yet with rare exception most school districts seem perfectly happy having these instead of plain old grass

Shutting down a factory is logical. Using a PFAS turf field is illogical. Is that what you meant? Or did you really mean to imply that we shouldn’t shut down the factory until we remove the turf field as well?
Some of these things are too annoying to do at scale so they just skipped it rather than choosing to intentionally dumb it down.
