Lev Shestov. A wonder read for anyone struggling with some existential problems. I'll quote:

"We stand between two "madnesses" - between the madness of a reason for which the "truths" which it reveals about the horrors of real being are ultimate, definitive, eternal truths, obligatory for all, and the madness of Kierkegaard's "Absurd," which ventures to begin the struggle when, on the testimony of reason and self-evidence, struggle is impossible, is foredoomed to humiliating failure. With whom should we go - with the Hellenic symposiasts, or with Job and the prophets? Which madness is preferable? The book of Job, the lamentations of Jeremiah, the thundering of the prophets and of the Apocalypse leave no doubt that the horrors of human existence were not hidden from the "private thinkers" of the Bible, and that they had enough courage and fortitude to gaze squarely into the face of what is customarily called reality. Nevertheless - unlike the great representatives of philosophia perennis - they do not feel compelled by reality and its horrors to submit to the inevitable. At that point where speculative philosophy sees the end of all possibilities and submissively folds its hands, existential philosophy begins the great and final struggle. Existential philosophy is not Besinnung, "interrogating" reality and seeking truth in the immediate data of consciousness; it is a surmounting of what to our understanding seems insurmountable. "For God," Kierkegaard repeats unceasingly, "all things are possible," summing up in these few words what had hitherto reached men s ears from scriptural sources. Possibilities are not determined by eternal truths inscribed by a dead or dying hand in the structure of the universe; possibilities are in the power of a living, all-perfect being who has created and blessed man. Whatever horrors being may reveal to us, and despite the assurances of reason, these horrors do not exhibit "truth" nor preclude the possibility of their own eradication. "
I've always thought of myself as the second type of C programmer... I only used C if no other option was available (yeah, it was indeed fear!).
After I started programming in Zig, I realized I really appreciated all of C's simplicity and (lack of) features, but now in "Zig fearless mode", it makes me feel like I always belonged to the first group.
Oh, how much I loved those times when google returned the best document on the Internet (still) called "LSD faq". https://erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_faq.shtml

It states its dangers:
Purely psychological hazards, not harmful to body. May release latent psychosis or exacerbate depression, leading to irrational behavior. There is also a danger of foolish or incautious behavior, e.g, misjudging distances or thinking one can fly. Physical overdose is not a hazard, though one may easily ingest more than one may be able to handle psychologically.
Your viewpoint definitely agrees with the majority of commenters here, but if you read the immediately surrounding context you’ll see that there is strong opposition.

The takeaway is that Duolingo has definitely made learning the basics possible where every other popular alternative has failed for many people.
Almost certainly get on Metformin, and preponderance of evidence is that NMN helps too. Most everything else is guesswork.
Based on my experience many people aren’t well informed about possible complications when taking LSD. There are certainly negative side effects possible but there is also decades of research on LSD. There is no test to rule out long-term negative side effects from psychedelics but there are safety precautions when starting with psychedelics which weren’t adhered to based on the trip reports from the original author.
If this actually happens to people in real life, let’s talk about it. All indications are that this problem isn’t a serious one yet.

New technologies often improve things in some way while introducing concerns and potential drawbacks in other ways. The question is whether, on balance, the new way is worth the risk.

My experience so far is that it is — it’s very convenient to be able to use a service like Airalo to order prepaid eSIMs for data service in foreign countries in advance. It makes traveling a joy now, and my wife is irritated a whole lot less by the prepaid SIM hunt I used to go on when traveling abroad. Plus no more tools or risking losing your SIM tray (or the SIM itself) when you swap it out on an airplane tray table.
The whole point here is we're talking about fees unrelated to the general interest cost of being "high risk".

This does of course require a baseline assumption of "good credit" == "low risk". When I got my first mortgage in the US I had tremendous difficulty, because "credit score" is not related to risk, but to regularity of credit payments. I had "bad" credit because I did not use credit cards. Because I did not have a car loan. Because I did not have random debt. I very nearly got denied because despite being able to easily make mortgage payments, being stably employed for the entire period of my US residence, my bank had a hard rule of requiring at least 3 different "recurring debts" - but I paid my fixed bills annually so it is cheaper. "yay".

Building your "credit score" requires objectively bad choices: you must use credit services even if you don't need to, you must not pay off all your debt, you must apply for more credit than you need, etc all of which costs money. At the same time sensible actions like shopping for good credit options results in credit checks that lower your credit rating.

All this before we get to the rating agencies knowingly reporting false information and charging you to stop them, which in any other industry is called extortion.
I don't know why sugar intake needs to be minimized. Sugar is simply a carbo-hydrate, I don't think it's special in this regard. But maybe I'm missing something.
The catch here is I really like my car, and I have no reason to own an ICE for road trips. I rent when I can’t bring my car (flying, overseas, etc.)
You're welcome to prove to me how someone whose position is to kill mosquitos because of X number of deaths a year is not 1:1 with Mao's position of killing mosquitos because of the very thing that kills those people every year.
I know a lot of women who own a beater and when they want to drive long distance rent a car. I think because they know it's cheaper and the idea of being stuck on the side of the highway makes them anxious.

And then there is my friend on a fixed income that's realized it's cheaper to rent a compact car for long drives. Same as above because having the car break down in nowheres is expensive quick.
How about we wait and see if this actually happens instead of prematurely complaining that the sky is falling?

All indications so far are that eSIMs work quite well. Plus it’s pretty awesome to be able to purchase prepaid service through a company like Airalo when traveling abroad and to be able to use it instantly. Same goes for switching carriers.
Do you only allow children to run around in areas that someone designated as safe?
Structural design issues are the problem as other comments note. If you haven't designed the roof from the beginning to have a fairly weighty additional structure attached on top, then all kinds of other problems can arise, from leaks to wind-related loads and so on.

Over the long term, it becomes something building codes need to implement, similar to electrical wiring and plumbing standards:

I've heard good things about Realtek's 2.5G nics, and bad things about Intel's; I've seen speculation that underlying cause is cross compatability between the two 2.5g specs that were merged into the standard and that most 2.5g switches use chips from companies that were behind the spec Intel was not behind.

For 1G realteks, I've had ok luck with them, but I do see some issues. I recall having some problem with them while running the Linux tree drivers, but I've since switched to all FreeBSD. With my current realtek NICs and FreeBSD 13.1, I have the choice of the kernel driver where sometimes the NIC will stop processing packets, and the NIC acknowledges reset, but doesn't actually immediately reset and sometimes processes old packets after resetting, resulting in wild writes and bad behavior. There's a vendor driver, which doesn't seem to get into that bad state, but it does enable ethernet PAUSE frames which are an abomination. The vendor driver is full of undocumented magic values and there's no public documentation on the NICs at all, so figuring out what to frob to make the NIC not get stuck, but not send out PAUSE frames would be an exercise in frustration, that I'm not willing to do.

Either way, the interrupt design is deficient: there's a shared interrupt for rx, tx and administration, and the status register doesn't really work right either --- it's possible for the host and device to disagree about what irqs were acknowleged and then things will get stuck (that doesn't seem to be the FreeBSD driver issue though; you can work around the stuck status communications by just assuming something probably happened aftet a few seconds, or checking for descriptor progess on rx and tx on any interrupt, etc). Having only a single interrupt means you can't meaningfully process incomming packets and finished outgoing descriptors in parallel which makes it hard to get full throughput in both directions simultaneously.

Anyway --- if they work for you, great. I'm going to avoid them where practical, and be careful with them elsewhere.

I have an Ioniq 5 and a PHEV pacifica. I love the ioniq5 and do new england road trips with it for skiing. I only have to hunt for fast charging on these longer trips so it's kind of a fun route planning game. I also love having the minivan to take 6 people anywhere and not worry about charging. I have the luxury of picking the right tool for the job. Not everyone else does.

After owning an EV I have come to appreciate that gasoline is frigging magical and convenient. You just fill up in a couple of minutes and go. I think people are *way* over estimating the middle majority's appetite for EVs. Once you burn through the early adopters (which we haven't done yet) I think it is going to be a long hard slog to convince most folks to move. I think this is going to be a super huge political issue. If the republicans take up the ICE vs EV battle they will move to quickly turn over this 2035 mandate because their constituents love driving these super convenient, cheap, and powerful ICE vehicles, especially trucks. I hope I am wrong.
They are not risking anything since they also take a 30% cut off any successful scam. This can only be stopped by goodwill somewhere up the management chain.
Last time I took LSD I ended up spending 3 months in the mental hospital. Stay away from that stuff!
> 1: YouTube financially rewards 12 minute videos. I feel like this has resulted in a collapse in creativity as now most videos are 12 minutes. You get what you pay for.

I checked my subscriptions page and of the latest 18 videos, here are the lengths stats

* 1× <1min

* 3× 4-6min

* 1× 10-12min

* 6× 13-20min

* 7× 20-40min
Questions:

* Does the cheaper energy come into play with such a large onsite solar system?

* (From the point of view of a manufacturing company opening operations in the us) Does the US currently have a surplus of well trained manufacturing workers? I hear a lot of factory management/executives still complaining that the skilled labor they need just doesn't exist.
You do have to know what you are doing well enough already to get good code from ChatGPT.

Much like with a lot of inexperienced, and unfortunately far too many experienced programmers, you'll get exactly what you ask for - nothing more, nothing less. So if you don't ask for security controls, you won't get security controls.

If you point out in your description what needs controls, you'll get a reasonable attempt at implementing what you've described. You still need to understand the output code enough to know whether you explained those controls clearly enough. Or just update the code manually yourself, akin to pair programming. That also works.

To be fair, this is a lot like reality. I have never seen a shop that doesn't produce insecure code unless you keep on top of them for proper implementation of security controls from the planning on up.
> We're at a point in today's society where the mere suggestion that nationality might be relevant is met with accusations of xenophobia.

How is the nationality relevant? Would this behavior be acceptable if the farms were owned by an Australian company? What about a publicly traded American company? What about an Arizonan billionaire? I don’t see how that would change anything.

Monopolizing natural resources is bad regardless of the nationality or residency of the people profiting.

Then how would you explain nature being 'unfair'.

Race exists due to nature and we use it to denote distinctions in our collective race.

We should celebrate our differences, not pretend they don't exist, or are merely humans being derogatory to each other.
This feels a bit like watching chess engines play against each other. An interesting novelty that gets boring rather quickly due to the lack of a human element to empathize with.
The "something you have" shouldn't be easily replicated. If someone could capture your SSH key passphrase and copy the ssh private key then it's not an actual 2FA. a device like a Yubikey won't let you extract the stored keys, so the only way to gain access is to steal the physical key and that makes the attack much harder to do stealthily.
Throwaway as I am just a lurker but this is a topic that goes very deep.

My brother took magic mushrooms once as he read a lot of things about it that it would cure social anxiety or anxiety in general. This is a problem that lies in our family and I am affected myself so I can understand why he did it.

However, his experience was terrible and he had a bad trip that had the effect that he couldn't sleep for three days. Afterwards he took some medication (sleeping pills and beta blockers) and seemed quite ok for a few weeks but then terrible panic attacks and extreme anxiety happened. He is still recovering but I can see that he is suffering.

All the good reports are probably true and also partly survivorship bias. For my brother it was a terrible experience and I am not sure if he can fully recover from this. People should also report about potential negative effects.
If psilocybin left him in tense anxiety with vomiting, why on earth would he try LSD next??
YouTube will pull you towards controversial clickbaity crappy content since that’s what generated clicks. These days I just surgically search for what I need, watch that, then get out, ignoring all recommends because invariably they are crap.

And YouTube is poison for young children who don’t know better than to follow what the algorithm tells you. You like super Mario? Here, 500 ways to die in Mario. And next - what would happen if all Mario characters killed each other bloodily? And it starts getting worse.

We banned YouTube for our kid and couldn’t be happier - the damage that thing was doing to his mind was noticeable and no amount of guidance or curation was able to keep him away from the cesspool.
Thanks for taking time to write this up, I was sloppy in my reading - as I said, I lost interest in these suits quite quickly. Sorry if I mislead anyone, not my intention.

On the topic of Mann's science itself, I don't find anything in these suits to affect our view of it. Do you?
Looks like very good news for consumers, since "customers continued to move their money in search of higher returns."

The $60B went out in the January 1st to March 31st period, according to the article -- so, not all at once. And it doesn't seem to be as bad as the headline makes it sound:

While its bank deposits declined, the size of Schwab’s money market funds increased 150 per cent to $358bn from $143bn in the first quarter of 2022, and is up almost 30 per cent from the end of last year. UBS analyst Brennan Hawken wrote that the Schwab results were “not as ugly as feared”. Shares in the broker closed up almost 4 per cent. [The article came out six days ago.]
Not if you live in an apartment :)
The short answer is "No, but it sounds obvious if you don't know much about it." Similar to Solar Roadways - the less you know about solar or roads, the better the idea sounds. The half mile gouge down a road near me from a trailer coming free and riding on the chains until they noticed and pulled over isn't a big deal on asphalt (they'll fill it next time they chipseal it), but it would be millions of dollars worth of damage to solar road tiles. Among many other issues.

It's the sort of thing that sounds obvious if you don't know much about the field, and the more you learn, the more things you realize make it a royal pain in the rear to deal with unless the structure was designed with solar in mind - and even then, it's a pain compared to a ground mount array somewhere close.

For a big membrane roof, you don't want a ton of penetrations - which means ballasted mounts. Except they weigh a lot, and the roof usually isn't built to support them on top of the required weight for rain/snow/etc. So you need to screw the stuff down to the roof, but now you have tons of penetrations in a membrane roof, and if anyone tells you they can do thousands of those without a single leak, they're full of crap.

As I talked about in another comment, you can't just run high voltage DC strings on a roof - you need per panel electronics, so the normal solution is microinverters, but now you're pushing 240V around instead of the 1500V you can run on ground mounted strings, so wiring cost is higher, and Enphase sure makes their money off their handout in the NEC 2017. Reliability of microinverters remains an open question as well. They're not exactly in a good spot for electronics.

You've got open area, you've got a high current interconnection, but the rest of it is just a set of thorny problems that makes it quite a bit more expensive than ground mount.
Sounds rough -- how'd you administer & what was the approximate dose?
Sure capitalism kills people, but not nearly the same order of magnitude. The worse cases of unbridled capitlaism killed far less than any one of worse cases of communism where we're talking to the tune of hundreds of millions. Then capitalism helped spawned things like the "green revolution" that prevented mass starvation across the globe since then.

> You're asking questions and then declaring the answers impossible to determine

If you mean to say that I've asked whether machines can know or believe, you're wrong. I have not asked whether it's possible for machines to 'know' or 'believe'. What I have asserted, not asked, is these questions are a waste of your time, because the divide between materialists and duelists will never be bridged. The the root of the disagreement is an irreparable philosophical divide, essentially religious disagreement.

To reiterate for clarity, these are the questions which I said are relevant: "Does the system contain information? Can it reliably convey that information? In which ways can it manipulate that information?" I haven't declared these questions impossible to answer. On the contrary, these are questions for engineers, not philosophers or theologians. They are mundane, practical questions:

The system is a spreadsheet: Does it contain information? Yes, assuming it isn't blank. Even a fraudulent spreadsheet contains information, false as it my be. Can it convey that information? Yes, given appropriate spreadsheet software and a user who knows how to use it. Can it manipulate that information? Certainly, a spreadsheet can sort, sum, etc.

The system is an AI: Can it contain information? Yes, plenty of information is fed into them during training. Can it reliably convey that information? That depends on the degree of reliability you desire. Can it manipulate that information? Yes, numerous kinds of manipulations have been demonstrated. The reliability of information conveyance and the manner of manipulations which are possible are important questions for any engineer who is thinking about creating or employing such a system. The answers to these questions are not impossible to determine.

But can an AI "know" things? Pointless question, like asking if a submarine can "swim". Important questions about submarines include: How deep can it go? How fast can it go? How quiet is it? These are questions for which empirical answers can be determined. Whether a submarine can "swim" is a pointless question, all it does is interrogate how much anthropocentric baggage the word "swim" has. Maybe that's an interesting question to linguists, poets or philosophers, but it isn't an important question to engineers trying to solve a real problems.

I know swimming submarines are cliche so here's another: Can a seat-belt hug you? That's a stupid question for poets or linguists who want to interrogate the anthropocentric implications of the word 'hug'. Can a seat-belt restrain you? That's a useful question for automotive engineers who want to build a car.
That's not the case for grass fed beef.
It's colloquially called a "whitey". Likely you had a very high THC strain and it hit your body like a truck of bricks because you weren't accustomed to it.

> I don't remember Stability claiming in any public forum that they solely developed Stable Diffusion

This article makes no such claim. It is about whether or not investors knew.
My understanding of how the development of cancer works is that all the error-checking mechanisms in a cell have to become damaged, before a cell can be damaged in such a way that it mutates into a cancer cell, because if they aren't all damaged before that, then one of them will find the "error" going on, and self-destruct the cell.

Cancer itself, then, is a constructive proof that DNA damage can disable DNA-transcription-time error-checking mechanisms.

The question in my mind, then, is whether those safety mechanisms are "blocking" / "synchronous" steps done during DNA transcription, such that disabling them would make DNA transcription occur faster. If they are, that would neatly explain the observed effect.

I've no idea why you're being downvoted, because it is a very real issue. You don't have to burn down many warehouses with solar before insurance companies start to have a lot of hard questions and rate increases. In tens of thousands of connections, it doesn't take a high failure rate on components before you've got something high resistance.
