> They can literally leave school and already be professionally competent.

Do you have evidence for that?

No training makes someone professionally competent, only being a professional does. Even people who go through intense years of law school or medical school, studying directly and interactively with world-class scholars and peers, in actual labs and courtrooms, are not professionally competent lawyers or doctors. People with PhDs are not professionally competent professors.

But focusing on training: I don't just accept any training when hiring. What evidence do you have that videos on YouTube provide a similarly high level of training? The Internet is filled with nonsense, misinformation, and disinformation, and it's clear that people don't make the effort to discrminate between that and truth, and between just any truth and the best knowledge and training. I'm certainly not giving someone or YouTube the benefit of the doubt.

A strong counter-signal is someone saying they learned from "YouTube", which is like saying they learned from "a book", and demonstrates a lack of discrimination or even an awareness of it - here is someone who lacks even the awareness that it's problematic.

And learning from a video or a book has never been a high standard of training; it's been a pejorative - 'they learned to be a doctor from a book'. It's just not the same at all as interactive learning with an expert (a professor), with peers, with a diverse cirriculum, resources such as labs, an institution geared toward creating effective learning programs. Again, it shows a lack of discrimination and judgment, and of even enough thought and skepticism to be aware of the issue.

People like YouTube because it's convenient, and because it's trendy they can get away with not questioning it (and dismissing these issues). I hire people who are committed to being the best, who think deeply, skeptically, and insightfully. I don't want to hire those who make serious decisions - such as their career preparation - based on convenience and who turn over analysis and decisions to the Internet crowd-think.

Anecdotally, I've had people assert that to me how informative certain YouTube videos are and show me them. When I take the time to research it, most are nonsense - I just lack expertise in the field and couldn't tell by watching (research establishes that people are very poor at that, and I'd guess that the obviously false ones don't get views). I have sought and used some videos from specific sources, but then I'm not learning from YouTube, I'm learning from that person. YouTube as nothing to do with it; the medium has nothing to do with it; if they wrote a book or article I'd have used that.

One way of thinking about the problem: Why is learning from YouTube any better than learning from a book before YouTube?

Both those trip reports are very unusual for psylocibin and LSD. It looks to me that the author might have other health complications that caused the bad trips. As a general advice one should be very careful when taking psychedelics with other prescribed medications or having a history of mental illness.
If you wanted to jumpstart a competitor to Goodreads for example, GPT can do elaborate book summaries and character discussion (etc)

This sort of plan seems just slightly above the level of SEO spam. I've played with ChatGPT book summaries and they're terrible in the sense of being very banal as well as being full of errors.

Plus creating a site that is compendium of answers ChatGPT/etc gives to questions would have to be a poor quality site given that people can just ask the questions directly to ChatGPT.
I suspect that microplastics are not reaching the brain. We have autopsies that can specifically look for this. Example: "Researchers found evidence of plastic contamination in tissue samples taken from the lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys of donated human cadavers." https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2020/08/17/Autopsies-show-mi...

I'm not downplaying the problem at all. If microplastics are in major organs that is a serious problem that warrants additional research or even outright bans. However, if microplastics are getting to the brain I think there'd be conclusive evidence by now.
I think there is no possible way to be sure of that.

Prior to the war maybe slightly under 50% stayed. Now it is under 10%.

Show me example of a thing that would prove it.

I feel like this kind of whataboutism misses the mark. To be clear - I'm in no way advocating for alcohol, or against its damages to society.

But one like the article is about doing something safely, once, in your own place. Dangers of alcohol are generally overdose, long term abuse, and accidents.

How many people drink one beer in the safety of their home with trusted people, and have their life turned upside down?

>>"I don't understand why people speed up podcasts."

If your goal is to actually understand others, then fwiw, my own thoughts: I personally normally far far prefer articles to podcasts. I can go at my own speed and enjoy the way I want to. If a video or podcast is the only way for me to learn something or experience something, variable speed is the price of entry for me. Podcast or video is NOT a quiet relaxing interesting night with friends, (and most of them are not precisely planned artistic endeavours whose brilliance will be missed at different pace:) . I don't get a say, I don't get to ask questions, to interrupt, to change topic, to go on a tangent. The very basic agency affordance therefore is speed - whether slower or faster. It's not about "consume more faster". It's about pace that works for me the consumer

For lessons specifically, typically they are recorded far slower than holds my attention. Think of all the udemy classes - at recorded pace, I mentally check out after 3 minutes on average :( . So for recorded lessons, if I don't have control over speed, I'm extremely unlikely to make it.
Watching kids watch youtube is like watching zombies.

I know a kid who is a big fan of any kind of sports. He is constantly watching youtube videos that are basically stats and clips packaged up with some slight humor but very little analysis. This kid has basically an encyclopedic knowledge of sports... stats. All from youtube. I was also like this to a degree as a kid, but I got my info from stats books/magazines/newspaper sports sections. So in a way the outcomes are the similar -- young kids love looking at the numbers -- but I can't help but feel icky about the way youtube can just lock a kid in for hours and hours.

* Example video about Tim Lincecum that basically enumerates the stats of his career but doesn't discuss anything else -- his personality, his pitches, his unconventional delivery, etc. Just clips (that repeat) and stats. It's bizarre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgaPKJIF_Zo
most errors you encounters are with i/o and are stupid "can't read, can't write or can't serialize".

In a network environment (which is originally what go was made for) you often need to add tracing information, business-level identifiers or processing information related to your state etc.

I'm currently writing a fairly complex api in go, and to be honest this really hasn't bothered me once.

Not to say it doesn't exists, but with time i've come very suspicious of people complaints over go. Most of the time those complaints come from people that didn't realize they missed an opportunity to have written a much much more elegant solution to their problem.

From the article -- "Unfortunately, there’s been a trend of uneven performance across cores as manufacturers try to make their chips best at everything, and use different core setups to cover more bases."

I don't find this unfortunate. Engineering is compromise and being able to make things that do a particular thing well can get you more performance per $ and per watt than you might otherwise see. The whole GPU thing that kneecapped Intel[1] is an example I use of how a compute element optimized for one thing can boost overall system performance.

I have worked on a number of bits of code for "big/little" ARM chips and while it does make scheduling more complex, overall we've been able to deliver more capability per $ and per watt. That is perhaps more important in portable systems but it works in data centers too.

I had an interesting discussion inside Google about storage and whether or not using a full up motherboard for GFS nodes was ideal. The prevailing argument at the time was uniformity of "nodes" meant everything was software, nodes could be swapped at will and you could write software to do what ever you needed. But when it comes to efficiency, which is to say what percentage of available resource is used to deliver the services, you found a lost of wasted watts/cpu cycles. All depends on what part of the engineering design space you are trying to optimize.

[1] The "kneecapped" situation is that since the PC/AT (80286) on, Intel generally made the most margin of all the chips that went into a complete system. Now that it is often NVIDIA.

Although I don't agree with the author's conclusion, it is true that drugs can have long-term side effects on sensitive parts of the brain.

Tinnitus in particular is fairly common and is listed as a side-effect on many prescription meds. I've experienced it after taking DMT and it also lasted about a year. I've also had small visual changes that are harder to pinpoint and certain smells being amplified.

The risk is small for the average person and it usually goes away, so it's really a personal choice if it's worth it.

> It’s an awesome resource and I think Gen Z are at a massive advantage because of it. They can literally leave school and already be professionally competent. I think we’ll see them leapfrogging millennials on the career ladder because they had a youth where they could spend their entire time learning literally everything there is to know about their passion for free

I don't follow this. I'm a millennial, graduated university 10 years ago, and by my estimation, that was the golden age of MOOCs (many of the courses available for free back then require payment now, and several of the MOOC platforms have shut down)

Isn't it true for even over the counter drugs and even foods that they can fuck you up if you are predisposed to have an issue with the substance? Why would LSD be any different. It's like getting mad at people promoting peanuts because some people die if they eat them.
That's why I never smoked a single nicotine cigarette. If I like it, I'll be an addict. If I don't, it was wasted.
I thought you were suggesting renaming "prompt engineering" - the activity of designing prompts to solve specific problems - to "prompt injection", which means deliberately attacking prompts using input designed to subvert their planned behaviour.

To me, that's like rebranding "software engineering" to "exploit engineering" - sure, one is a subset of the other but they are not the same thing.
Even without reading TFA it's surely not the loop what is actually cooling the hardware.
Had a similar experience, but with the much more tame marijuana. It was a 6-hour long panic attack for me. Similar to the author of this, I read for years of how "the only way it could ever harm you is if you were crushed by 100 lbs of it" on sites like Reddit. It wasn't until after getting high that I heard about marijuana amplifying stress tendencies in a minority of people. I've always been high strung, and maybe my experience reveals something that needs fixing inside of me, but given how marijuana turned my anxiety up to a measure that has only ever been matched by an actual panic attack, I'll avoid LSD (and anything similar like shrooms) like it's a loaded gun pointed right at me.
and on the other side you may get insanely creative and change your life for the better and build something valuable to the humanity.

Tradeoff is clear for me.
I think it's useful to consider this blog post as an anecdotal experience of someone who had a significant, traumatic experience with LSD for which they were entirely socially unprepared for even when those those experiences seemed to be known among those who take LSD (no one expressed surprise or confusion at their condition in their group). There is plenty of questions to ask here: why didn't this person's friends refuse to give them LSD, given their previous experience with shrooms? Why was this person so blindsided by HPPD? What is going on in the cultural millieu of hallucinogenic drugs where someone can have a bad experience with one hallucinogen and then, knowing this, willingly take even more without seriously being warned against by friends or online resources?

Seriously, if I had a friend who couldn't handle alcohol, I would stop drinking with them and I would certainly refuse to take harder stuff with them. When I first had anxiety from smoking weed, my friends promptly told me weed is probably just not a drug for me to take and to take lower doses or to abstain from it entirely in the future-- and anxiety was a well-known (to me) possible consequence from weed.
You are free to use your real name and connect your real life to social media. I don't and have no need to. You are also free to check every post history of everyone you interact with. I don't have that amount of time. And I am free to call out a bad argument when I see one. If you had practiced the checking post history properly, you would have noticed that account age and karma rarely correlate to anything.

You are also free to respond to the other comment I made to your post and not jumping to another one. These remarks are not specifically for you. Go take a look at the account I replied to above yours to see why I said that.
I can't understand people paying for streaming services like Netflix & competition, where all their catalogs are region-locked and every single one of them producing mostly crappy shows/movies (at least that's the Netflix I experienced last time I was able to use someone else's account on someone else's computer many years ago, so I must assume as everything else, things get worse, not better).

What would I pay for? A good streaming service where I can choose movies that at least for me are worth watching: good stories, classics, italian, french, spanish movies, independent productions, low-budget productions and non-mainstream gargantuan productions. Definitely not a service that literally invites you to consume whatever crap they produce and put in front of your screen to keep people paying for subscriptions. What I would also pay for? A service that after watching a movie allows me to actually purchase a digital DRM-free copy of the movie for some extra few bucks. Any suggestions?

I've heavily switched my screen habit, now I find myself most of the time reading books, as my father used to say: "You produce your very own version of the film in your head". I used to read regularly as a kid, then there's a huge gap where I haven't touched books for years. The only regret I have is that I haven't kept this habit all this time.

Edit: Some corrections.
I've been happy using a combination of Karabiner, Hammerspoon, Quicksilver, and Espanso for these types of tasks for many years.

Although the only thing I really need Karabiner for is remapping caps lock to a custom-defined "hyper" key (something odd combination of right and left shift, alt, command, etc) that everything else can use.
If whoever is putting in the time and money to maintain those things thinks it's worth, then there must be a reason for it.

Visual noise and tinnitus are both basically perception noise.

So the author had their "noise filters" reset basically, and their brain had to relearn this. This is interesting and somewhat supports the notion that LSD can "reset" your mind in some ways.
To benefit rich donors. That’s really all there is to it.

It’s actually a really great example of how people’s bias regarding fairness and equality works:

Here we have a bunch of fees that are discounted if you have a higher credit score. The discount is being reduced. A bunch of people (and this article) are losing their shit over this reduction in discount being unfair because it only impacts people with higher credit scores, despite the entire discount not existing at all for people with lower credit scores. And this is before we factor in the much more substantial impact of worse interest rates, etc (the article talks about how this could cost $480 a year, while ignoring the $2000/year a half percent increase in interest rate costs
Right.

So that's precisely why variable speed is important - otherwise a recorded lessons will work for one type of learner only. It's crucial to recognize exactly what you mention - different people's experience and preferences differ :). Ability to vary speed doesn't remove your option to listen at default speed, all it does is provide options for others who may have different preferences and different natural pace of speech or listening :).
I've never tried LSD, but a single dose of magic mushrooms screwed my mind up for years. It took me a very long time to get over the anxiety attacks. I wish I'd never tried it, the experience was terrifying.
Had a friend who got DPDR after a bad trip, never really was the same as far as I know. Sometimes just reading about DPDR too much is enough to make you feel the effects a bit, so I can only imagine having it induced by an actual drug. The Reddit threads of DPDR sufferers seem like a special kind of hell.
I have had really, really bad trips on weed and alcohol. No way in hell I am trying anything else. It makes me really uneasy to hear normies going on about trying this and that. They all have some vague yet beneficial reasoning for why they did or might try shrooms or LSD. I always ask them, tell me of somebody that significantly and measurably improved their life after getting involved with psychedelics. Nobody ever can tell me of anyone. Same person, same job, same family, same everything. With a good story if they are lucky. And a bad story if they are like the guy that wrote this.

I can't believe that peanuts have a good name and are promoted a lot in some circles!

I'm sorry that this person had a very bad experience, but someone with a peanut allergy wouldn't be so full of themselves as to warn everyone off of peanuts, despite the fact that the vast majority of people can consume peanuts with no problem, and enjoy it. Most things in life have some risk.
