Honestly, it sounds like depression. Talk to a counselor.

As a secondary observation, it seems as though that you lack responsibility. Accepting responsibility is what gives you a sense of purpose, regularity, and fulfillment. Responsibility is something that you must accept willingly, otherwise you will resent it.

I suggest that you find someone to help. It could be an older person whose grass you mow, snow you shovel, and check in on regularly just to make sure that they are OK. It could be an after-school program. There's countless needs that will not be answered unless you actively choose to help. You can't do everything, but you can do something.

Lastly, I suggest that you cut out the weed and limit the video games. The weed is most likely just a coping mechanism for whatever is causing your depression (so, too, is alcohol, overeating, etc.), and rather than dealing with it, you are masking it. Video games are similar. I love playing games, but I intentionally only play social games with my real-world friends (yes, I play Fortnite just so I can talk to friends across the country!). Otherwise, it, too, becomes a mask of deeper problems.

Good luck!

It's less about rural population and more about smaller metro populations. Places where there aren't bike lanes - where people on mopeds are really risking their lives trying to go twelve miles. The rural population quote of 17% are legitimately rural counties where population density below a certain point exists. Most smaller metro counties have rural infrastructure supporting a higher population density and simply are not safe for bikes, and a large number of people who are classified as urban are the people making up the population in metro counties. The US Census classifies as rural and urban so it's really hard to know exactly what, but assuming that anyone living in an urban area who is physically capable of doing so could ride a bike is incorrect.
Well in a place with shitty infrastructure you lock it to a pole. In a better place, there will be a bike rack which is 100x cheaper than a car parking spot.

All the story looks unrealistic:

> But the cultures also report that it’s not just bacteria floating around in his blood, but fungus too, specifically Psilocybe cubensis, meaning the dark web-bought mushrooms Gavin micro-dosed by injection were not only laced with cyanide, but they were now growing in his blood, shutting down all of his organs again.*

The cyanide side story is too weird. Why did they add cyanide? I remember reading that it's difficult to get a dose of cyanide that is harmful but not lethal.

The bacteria side story may be realistic. If the moron injected with bad hygiene, it may be possible. Perhaps get that bacteria in particular is more difficult.

The internal fungus side story is weird. Each fungus grow in specific conditions, my guess is that this fungus don't like growing in blood.

> This must be fear mongering propaganda.

For me, it looks like fear mongering linkbait.
In fact the extreme long running fade has long gone. In my youth, 40 years ago when I was still a long distance runner, 100km was trendy, but the professionals and sports doctors have told me that everything over 30km is too unhealthy and fading away in the last decade.

This is more or less exactly what the FT article said so I think it's a bit unfair to criticise them as you did:

> The truth is that machine learning systems are nothing like us in the way they are engineered, but they are no less significant for it. To take just one example: the fact that non-human AI systems, perhaps with faces and voices, will soon be able to participate in political debate in a sophisticated way is likely to be more important for the future of democracy than the fact that they do not “think” like humans. Indeed, asking whether a machine learning system can “think” like a human is often as useful as asking whether a car can gallop as fast as a horse.

Honestly that's a lot more sophisticated than most of the debate on HN has been. There are a disappointing number of people here who think that it's "just predicting words" or that it can't "think" because it's a machine and thinking is somehow reserved for people with squashy brains (and souls presumably).

I'm of the same opinion. Why would anyone think any kind of tea is meant to be injected? Where would he be getting this advice from? If he's heard of microdosing for depression, if he can go on the dark web and buy magic mushrooms, then surely he's done a standard google search on magic mushrooms and how to microdose them. And absolutely none of the results are going to say: brew a tea and inject it. Also:

> He carried on this occasion for a few days.
> Around the fourth day, Gavin brewed his mushroom tea as usual, shrugging off the odd smell.

First, mushroom trips last about 6 hours. Second, it's a well known fact that psilocybin loses its potency if you keep having it on consecutive days. You're meant to wait at least four days between doses if you want anything close to the same intensity of trip as when you took it the first time. This is why there are no psilocybin addicts. You can't get physically hooked.

Either:

- This entire story is made up.

- He was sold another species of mushroom. Because why would a dealer put cyanide in their mushrooms? It's not like they need to cut mushrooms with anything like they do other substances.

- Injecting mushroom tea has really bad and weird effects on the body.

I grew up with a "Siemens PC-D", 80186 and not fully IBM compatible for the reasons you said. However, it seems that the folks at Siemens were very enthusiastic about it, and ported a lot of software that accessed the hardware more directly, including most Microsoft software (Windows, Word, the C compiler...) and GEM. The BIOS was actually on disk, so updatable, and the BIOS updates came with a README file from the PC-D team that again give me the impression that some at least really liked working on it.

A marvelous machine. High resolution (if monochrome), Hercules-like graphics, for example.

But the kicker was that it actually had an MMU[1], built from discrete logic chips, in order to run SINIX (a Xenix 8086 derivate, but with added MMU support among other things) and enjoy full memory protection. I reverse engineered that MMU, it's quite fun. Paging wasn't possible though.

[1] Early on as a variant called "PC-X", but they apparently did away with the early board revisions, and all machines I've seen say "PC-D/PC-X" on the back, so they all have the MMU and can be both.

Ignoring the discussion about bundled stuff, this comment actually touches on the most annoying part to me and wondered if anyone here actually has legal experience with this question:

A whole lot of HARDWARE now comes with a license agreement via the firmware/software installed on it and is unusable without it. I recently just bought a Sony soundbar + subwoofer and when I plugged it in was immediately presented on the TV screen with a "you must accept this license to use this device."

However, I have no ability to (easily) see this license agreement prior to purchase and setup. What if I don't want to agree to it? Regardless of the store's return policy, can I return it?

"It doesn't know how it knows what it knows" is a very common criticism. "It's just predicting the next token but doesn't really 'understand' anything" is another.

To me it's like saying, "How can humans actually play baseball if we don't even explain how we throw balls and swing bats at moving objects?" Wording it that way, it just sounds ridiculous. As ridiculous as I think this AI conversation is.

I don't know why we care so much about model transparency. Yes, it's worth scientific pursuit to understand what we're building and how it works, we should absolutely try to know as much as we can. But if the bar for "true intelligence" is a machine capable of doing things that we can't do ourselves, is that saying we aren't "truly" intelligent, either? If we're all of a sudden not allowed to leverage systems we don't fully understand then I guess we shouldn't even be at the spot where we are as a species. We've been doing the right things for the wrong reasons for ages, it seems to work OK.
Not mentioned in the article but I asked a shopkeeper why they use it. Answer is fraud. Earlier, customers would download a "fake" app, which miciked online gateway's UI. Customer would punch in money, and show to shopkeeper that "payment went through". Customer takes goods with them and leaves. Shopkeeper looses money.

With this sound box, shopkeeper gives goods ONLY after the box makes sound. Now imagine if a elderly or illiterate relative of shopowner is manning the shop. They may not know how to operate their "banking" app to make sure money has reached. The sound box removes that problem.

This is promising, but it’s not as exciting as one would assume — it’s a very limited rollout, ensuring the use/don’t use UPI decision has to be made quite quickly for people unfamiliar with it, which is most tourists.

> To start with, it will be available to travelers from G-20 countries, at select international airports (Bengaluru, Mumbai and New Delhi).

> Eligible travellers would be issued Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPI) wallets linked to UPI for making payments at merchant outlets.

> The PPIs shall be issued after physical verification of the passport and visa of the customers at the point of issuance.

Also good luck finding the UPI PPI sale point. And of course it’s extremely limited, to 20 countries.

And the big one

> PPIs can be issued in the form of wallets linked to UPI and can be used for merchant payments (P2M) only.

This is “limited UPI” — you can’t use it for P2P payments or paying your friends and acquaintances. And does UPI Merchant Payments have payment protection / easy dispute resolution yet? If not, tourists would be far better off sticking to cards.

So yeah, good on the RBI for making a start, but this doesn’t help tourists realise even a fraction of UPI’s convenience.

I’m sure one day visitors and regular tourists will be prompted to set up a UPI wallet when they get their visa / eVisa, top up UPI online across the length and breadth of India, and in fact be able to top up their UPI wallets before landing in the country. But there are many bureaucratic barriers before that happens.
Start with those where the environmental impact is best known and understood.

Impose escalating tariffs on those items from any nation not meeting those goals.

We will buy less or they’ll be made more cleanly. Worst case making them in countries that make them cleanly eventually becomes profitable with the tariff protection.

> I don't believe 10x engineers actually exist. Maybe 1.5x, 2x, or 3x engineers exist at most. 10x is a huge exaggeration of human capability.

I think the reason so many people have doubts on the existence of 10x is that they might have never encountered one.

I recall a story someone told me a while ago. Software business that did local CoL/prevailing wages. Hired an intern one summer that was just running around in circles around the other, more senior devs. Useless to say they loved him and the next summer they tried to get him back, even offering a signing bonus for an internship (something they considered unheard of) but he was already at a large search engine company down in the Bay. You can guess the comp was probably already 3x what his previous job was offering. Of course, he wouldn't return.

There's a whole class of engineers were completely invisible to most companies, even if they are in the same "local market" [0][1] (Some use the term "dark matter devs" but I know it has another meaning [2]). These guys tend to fly under the radar quite a bit. If you are in a tier 2 market or company, your chances of attracting one are close to nil. Because they are extremely valuable, they don't interview a lot and tend to hop between companies where they know people (or get fast tracked internally). When hiring is red hot, they might completely disappear from the hiring pool by junior year.

> Get this, say a project takes a year to complete. The concept is saying a 10x engineer can do this in about month. If such a person exists it will be so rare I estimate that most people haven't ever encountered an actual "10x" engineer. Even a 3x engineer is super rare. I can see something like 2x happening where a project that takes a year is done in 6 months. That is rare but plausible.

That's thinking in terms of bricklaying. 10x, like Carmack or Woz for example, bring completely new ideas and paradigm shifts. Think of the engineering happening at Xerox PARC for instance.

I think the reason is less interesting: when you start to go out of range, your radio thinks there is only a mono signal, so it switches to mono mode.

You may be underestimating what r/SuperStonk has achieved thus far.

Direct Registration System (DRS) [1][2], a system for book-entry ownership, has been successfully popularized by r/SuperStonk, over the last few years.

From Gamestop's recent SEC filing, 10-K [3]:

> Our Class A Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “GME”. As of March 22, 2023, there were 197,058 record holders of our Class A Common Stock. Excluding the approximately 228.7 million shares of our Class A Common Stock held by Cede & Co on behalf of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (or approximately 75% of our outstanding shares), approximately 76.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were held by record holders as of March 22, 2023 (or approximately 25% of our outstanding shares).

Let's let that sink in: visitors of r/SuperStonk collectively own 25% of GME (and registered via DRS), throwing down >$1.5B USD.

How can one not appreciate the magnitude of this accomplishment? It's absolutely unprecedented.

When we look back on this, I'd wager that education will be r/SuperStonk's crowning achievement. Hundreds of thousands of people have mobilized thus far, and are taking an active interest in financial literacy, learning about market structure, reading quarterly statements, joining earnings calls, and submitting commentary to regulators in both the United States and Europe.

When does a group of investors stop being a "cult" and effectively become a full-fledged movement?
