Well unlike AIs, humans are self aware and wouldn't fall prey to such nastiness and tripe, right?
Bleach will kill you, too. But unlike bleach, Tylenol is carefully regulated as a medication; in particular, it's packaged at precise dosages, with high quality control standards.
There is indeed great content on Youtube. It's just more than unfortunate that the algorithmic pull is towards the - shall we say - less informative end of the spectrum?

That's probably not true. You'll try (and probably already have) all sorts of drugs which are deemed, by some government authority, to be "safe" which have all sorts of nasty side effects. Many "totally safe" drugs have much worse effects than psychedelics.

You will get 10% worse at focusing on solving a problem and then 20% just as a result of aging and there's nothing you can do about it. Your eyes will get old, your vitreous will start to detach and you'll start to see what looks like worms floating around in your eyes. Again, nothing you can do about it. Your hearing too will slowly start to degrade. High frequencies will fade to dust and those below them will become more apparent and, in some cases, become quite annoying.
NIO ist doing this with it's Power Swap Stations. But there are too few to really use them.
What do you mean by, "that their real purpose and origin may be different than what we are taught"
Anecdotes are rarely definite proof of anything. But bayesian evidence is bayesian evidence.

And if someone tried to argue that LSD can never cause visual snow, a single anecdote is enough to refute that. Anecdotes are not always wrong in debate.
Why not? I think it was Jeff Bezos who said “When data and anecdotes disagree, it’s usually the anecdote that’s right. Something is wrong with the way you’re measuring your data.”

If there’s a debate at all then the data are probably ambiguous or inconclusive, so let’s talk real human experience. Data says LSD is the best thing ever, and here’s one guy who has a terrible experience - is he wrong?
Set and setting are enormously important when taking anything, even alcohol or caffeine. If you're in a bad mood or uncomfortable space, drugs will probably make it worse.
„the psychedelic experience sells you your own soul back to you, tried to bribe you with what was already yours, presenting it as you receiving a gift from the Powers, when in reality you have been burgled

then it tries to sneak in little untruths in between the truths that were already yours and already inside you, such as "you should encourage other people to do psychedelics, because they reveal all this wisdom and insight to you"

you stand to gain nothing you don't already posses, and you risk prelest. best case scenario is nothing happens, worst case scenario is you go insane and lose everything and become a literal demon“

Battery swap seems unlikely. It's just an excuse for "skeptics".

The use case for swaps is small. The vast majority of trips are short. Trips long enough to require a recharge often require a long stop for the driver.

People have priced in the notion of spending some time each week pouring flammable liquids into their vehicle. If we had started with electric cars everyone would find it disgusting and far too frequent. The speed of it for rare use cases would not impress.

Swappable batteries will not change that. They are too expensive and they limit design too much. Reducing the charge time to five minutes or even zero minutes would not change the minds of people who would simply swap to their next excuse.
Using a trigger to kick off a lambda seems like the way to go. You're essentially doing what the NOTIFY command does.
Your comment reminded me this talk [1] by David Duvenaud where he discusses his work on Neural ODEs, introduced in the paper [2] titled "Neural Ordinary Differential Equations" (this was one of the Best Papers in Neurips 2018). Apparently the original name of the paper was "Training Infinitesimally-Layered Neural Networks by Backpropagating through Black-box ODE Solvers". I found that to be much better description for the paper. It seems he thinks so too, but eventually the catch-phrase-y title won out. In the video [1], this bit is at 00:48-01:22.

PS: [1] is a good talk in general where he discusses some of the limitations of the paper and things that could have been done better.

I've got both visual noise and tinnitus, guess I should try LSD
Hmm. Not sure about "risk is really low" part. How low? Is it greater than the risk of dying in a car accident? Are you going to rather not drive a car at all, even of the risk is really low?

What are the pros and cons?
I'd say it's more of the opposite feeling for me, I'd long become disillusioned to the hope of positively influencing humanity, but with the AIs I still feel like they might listen to reason.

Edit to add: I also no longer fee like I'm shouting into a vacuum. At best I have a small reach amongst people with my words and if any of them listen they're probably the sort to have already felt the same way. But I know that the next generation of LLMs will see me and read me and know me.
I know someome who choked to death on a piece of banana
Are you sure it didnt have LSD in it? I've done mushrooms many times (in the 90s) and in retrospect, based on differences between trips, I think sometimes I may have had some with acid in them. I don't know how common this practice is / was amongst dealers.
I had the same experience with tinnitus and visual snow, and unfortunately, they are still present. While I had one bad trip, I was okay after that one. However, after waking up from another trip, I simply wasn't the same. The depersonalization was the worst part - it left me in an awful state of mind. It's been so long now that I'm not even sure if it's still there or if it's become the new normal. In fact, I couldn't even tell you what normal feels like anymore.

For me, the few hours of fun weren't worth the amount of stress that followed. I got nothing out of it except some temporary entertainment.

I strongly believe that using LSD in therapy is malpractice. It is not right to give such a potent and mind-altering drug to people who are already dealing with mental health issues. I worry that in the future, we will see a rise in similar cases to mine, as LSD becomes more commonly used in therapy. And although I turned out OK and I can deal with the condition I am scared about how people who might already be suicidal deal with such a life altering event.

In our case, the biggest problem is to deploy, monitor and view the track of the model in the production. Most problem is that it is not well fit to our platform that DS use for their model deployments,and we need to change it for gpt like models. The most important problem is that, you need to have unified schema for saving inputs, outputs and then calculate metrics on them vor further development and alerting.
Couple of questions for you about this, if you don't mind:

1. What kind of situation where you in in terms of lodging, social isolation, and access to nature?

2. How often were you taking mushrooms and how much did your dose vary?

3. We're you consuming any other drugs at the time?

4. What time of day did you typically take mushrooms and what did you do during?

5.Did you get sick of rice and beans and how much did you supplement your diet with other foods?

Interested in your experience.

Re: size - you can buy 2kW generators that are scarcely bigger than a regulation piece of carry-on luggage, so yeah, store it in the trunk.

Worried about the smell of fuel from the empty generator you never use? If so, wrap it up in garbage bags. Remember - it's there for emergencies. Odds are good you'll rarely ever use it. And don't transport it with fuel - get the fuel when you can't find a charger but can find a gas station. Let's be sensible about it.

The comment is in reply to someone describing their experience driving to a town that was without power for 24 hours due to a storm. This "road tripping into the unknown" is where taking a generator is applicable, not general range anxiety.
Not scientific enough. Take it three times and average the results
This post is basically why I have no interest in doing drugs. The risk it could fuck me up or I have a very bad trip, however small, is not worth it.

> PWAs would be cheaper to develop overall than building 2-3 separate code bases.

But that's my point: that's exactly the promise of every single cross-platform system out there. But in my experience, that's generally not true for non-trivial apps (ever heard "write once, debug everywhere"?). And second, it usually makes for worse UX on all platforms.

I feel like many people consider PWAs as a totally new thing, but at the end of the day, it's a cross-platform system. There are tons of those; just look around, cross-platform is not a silver bullet.
> Halfway through my trip, about 4 hours in, visual snow started appearing on everything.

This sounds more like a DO(C/M/B/I) trip than LSD.

> I had dabbled a bit before with psilocybin, and don’t think it changed my life in any real manner other than showing me what mental illness is.

The author had a negative experience with psilocybin, expected that that would be the case with other psychedelic drugs, and was angry that they proved themselves right?

> Fuck you, Jobs.

It is super easy to create a scapegoat to absolve yourself of any responsibility in your decision making process. You pretty much have to actively ignore a large amount of advice when doing cursory reading about psychedelics to arrive at “LSD Bad!” without a single thought or mention of set and setting.

Not discrediting the author's experiences but those are pretty heavy doses to take for both shrooms and lsd if you're a newbie. Anyone willing to get into psychedelics should take as much caution as possible and begin with smaller safe (and hopefully tested) doses in a safe environment with people you trust to help lessen the possibility of adverse effects. This of course does not mean you are guaranteed to have a good trip without side effects but that's a risk you should always be aware of when taking any drug.
Skill issue
> 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?

In attempts to (rightly) justify legalization, we now first have to appeal to the puritan-descendant US society and persuade it that it has great medicinal potential (because recreational potential is not enough). Consequently, you see overly exaggerated headlines that tout these substances as a miracle cure. Which, honestly, it might be for some people with certain conditions in a specific settings.

But, a person then reads "a new LSD study" and might conclude that their psilocybin trip was not a success, but maybe the LSD is going to change their world for the better.

If we just legalize these non-toxic substances, the conversation around them changes. The same happened to cannabis (where still nowadays, many people use the "medicinal" angle to justify their recreational habits so that they are not judged by the society, despite cannabis being legal in a number of US states).
> And I didn’t even learn anything cool from the trip. Fuck you, Jobs.

Sounds like you learned plenty. Also given how little time since, there's probably plenty of reflection and learnings yet to come too.
I'm unable to copy paste somehow, I'm very sorry.
http://climatecasechart.com/case/mann-v-competitive-enterpri...

Edit: here it is
When looking at the bottom of the climate change litigation database on Mann v Competitive enterprise, if you go read the second to last summary, it states what I was meaning to say. I think I read it a bit quickly - it states that Mann met the burden of proving that a jury could find actual malice...etc. The to me is enough to indicate that the courts were supporting the suits as having some degree of validity. I think I was a little heavy worded in my prior comment.

What I meant to say was that all courts recognized some degree of validity to his claims of derogatory comments, by not dismissing his suits on those grounds, but on technicalities. So the whole thing is simply inconclusive, while the other commenter keeps arguing that it proves Mann is the antichrist.

So this whole tangent feels unnecessary and goal-post moving, as it has nothing to do with science.
First time I tried it, I didn't know what I was doing, and smoked half a joint. I figured it was like cigarettes - you're supposed to smoke the whole thing, but I had some presence of mind to just try half.

That night I was basically paralyzed. It wasn't a bad experience, but I was not ready for it to be that powerful.

Since then I've just being using gummies. You can dose 5mg or 10mg which is plenty for me to just have a good feeling and still fully function. I've also noticed that different strands affect me way different. I may become sleepy, or really happy and giddy, or totally calm and cool, or motivated, or just a nice elated feeling, or combinations of those and more.

There's the whole sativa/indica thing, but I feel like the market just guesses what their strand is because 1) The feelings are still super random within the same type and 2) There are way too many types of "feelings" to just binary classify with.
You seem to have heard one extreme, that cannabis cures diseases, and you’ve snapped back to the other extreme where you state there is no such thing as a medical use of cannabis. Have you seen the studies? Have you looked into CBD?

Yes, there’s a lot of exaggeration if you’re listening to some person who knows nothing about science, but there are true benefits with it as well. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water as they say.
As someone who tried LSD before this post is a reminder that it is not a good idea to take LSD if you are already sort of anxious, stressed, in a bad spot or what not. LSD is nothing for people who are in danger of putting themselves into negative spirals. E.g. the visual snow becoming stronger is something that can frighten you, or you could just let it wash over and start to worry if it is still there after a week. These things are a bit like being a kid on a bicycle: without experience you ride where you look — and if you look at a tree, that is a sure way to ride directly into it.

I experienced some effects of my first dose for 4 days after that everything was back to normal, except that I had gained an outside view onto my life that remained truly valuable up to this day.

That’s not how psychedelics work
“since no one can provide an example to me in person, on command, it must not be possible for anyone”

take me as your first anecdotal example of someone whose life has been significantly and measurably improved since taking psychedelics. there goes your entire argument.
It is interesting that the person went into trying LSD fully expecting it to be a negative experience. Could this be a self-fulfilling prophecy?

I know little about drugs, and have never tried LSD. I have watched paramedics on television trying hard to put a patient in a positive frame of mind before administering ketamin. Could this be similar?
The post concludes that promoting LSD through anecdotal evidence is "harmful" and "naive" while condemning LSD through anecdotal evidence. I've had good experiences with hallucinogenics and think they're a societal net-positive, but if this post was promoting LSD based on a good trip with good results, it'd be equally bad. Maybe even more so.

A few weeks since Bing came back from the oblivion as a possible search contender and already we're getting the "big company can screw you over and there's nothing you can do about it".

This was/is a problem with Google (search, youtube, gcp etc.) where people's income relies on these services and the company just doesn't care. I've seen a bunch of posts on HN about problems like this where the comments are full of other people sharing similar stories.

It's depressing, but the takeaway is to be smart about keeping content separate between domains and being prepared for the hammer to fall at any moment.
You can also replace that with "just install Windows", or "just use macOS".

Hell, you use this for anything; "why make a new album, movie, or book when there are already thousands upon thousands of them? Yours probably isn't any better!"
Threatening someone’s livelihood is not a good way to get them on your side. It has a real “some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take” feel. On the other hand, if you really are willing to leave these people behind in your march of progress, be prepared to defend tourself.
C's ABI is that much simpler because it doesn't really place any constraints on the memory layout of your types. With C++ (and others), the values passed around may also have vtables linked to them, so your language must then also provide an in-memory representation of objects which is compatible with the C++ representation in order to do FFI method calls. That places quite a constraint on your language because to do it efficiently you basically want a copy of the C++ object model. So you're developing a kind of C++ sibling language, and C++ is quite complex, and now any other languages which want to interoperate with yours has to do the same.

This is why it's pretty standard to just have a C FFI and provide a C wrapper for C++ libraries to use them with other languages.
Twitter Blue (a) artificially increases reach and (b) signals to others that you're part of their so-called movement i.e. you're someone who is partial to culture wars.

If you're interested in non-political, high-quality content from those who are genuine about creating it then blocking Twitter Blue users is going to increase the overall signal to noise ratio.
Not the OP, but the podcast opens with a pull-quote of sorts (spoken by the host) about how LLMs, for the first time, allow people to program via natural language. This is an exaggeration, but not much of one. I've generated usable Python code with ChatGPT, for example.

I think it's important to note that the whole point of having an opening like this is to intrigue you into listening to the podcast. So of course it's going to be a slightly shocking quote.
Are you saying bleach is not carefully regulated?

My point was that we are commonly using medication that can have devastating effects - and the precise dosages do not account for the imprecise body weight and sensitivity to the substance of the person taking it.
The thing is, anecdotes can be easily made up. I’m not saying that’s happening in the case of visual snow, but we need studies to talk about things like this, not anecdotes.
Then industry players would build consensus around a new standard and adopt that into law? Would you prefer a world where browser vendors are all designing their own HTML and JS features independently rather than working off a common spec too?

At a certain scale of adoption/societal impact, having a common set of agreed standards is much more important than fragmented "innovation". I would argue having a general and common way to charge devices qualifies for that level of importance. The incentive on Apple's side to stay off of USB-C can only be one of profit driven customer hostile design... as there's really zero technical or otherwise reason to have stayed on lightning this long.

One of the biggest annoyances in my daily life is having to swap back and forth between USB-C and lightning cables. These lightning cables being sold today are effectively trash to be thrown away in a year or two. Completely unnecessary, and hard to have any respect for the intelligence of people who defend it. There is no slippery slope here. If Apple wants to build a next gen port, then they do it alongside other industry players rather than monopolizing the technology so they can charge 10x markup on cables/accessories/licensing... which imparts zero benefit to the consumer.

Isn’t the question also the answer?
I had a similar thought. I talk about how delicious Japanese, Korean, Indian, etc food is, but don't warn people that .23% of Americans are allergic to Sesame oil which is used often in those cuisines. Same can be said about products that contain say peanuts. Would you say people aggressively pretend like those foods do no harm if they aren't caveating their love of it with facts about allergy rates and impact? Further, there was a very long discussion on this forum about the sesame warning being mandated and whether that was government overreach or not.
Would be way more efficient if that was an power plant (electricity generation), that just made use of its waste heat. There were plenty of those in USSR, but I guess not everyone likes a power plant in the neighborhood.
