Yeah I switched to DuckDuckGo a long time ago and now I might switch to Brave Search because its "Goggles" feature is pretty cool (basically lets you rerank search results according to preference, ex: give precedence to tech blogs, or URLs popular in HN comments, down-rank most popular sites etc.).

This is getting off-topic, but at a certain point Google's results started to feel less and less relevant. Strict keyword matching stopped becoming a feature since it started to "guess" the "hidden meaning" behind your searches, modifiers like "include this exact text" and -"exclude this" stopped being supported and the amount of crap it throws in the search results that are not links to websites became distracting and annoying much of the time rather than useful.
> What about the tinfoil hatters that believe everything just because it's on some 2h YT video?

Classic contrarianism. Where evidence of pushback is used as evidence of the argument itself. It's commonly used by cults to increase cohesion, e.g. sending members into the world to get rejected.

Revenues dipped between 2021 and 2022 and were rising before that.

> Mocks means that there's a side effect neccessary

Eh, kinda. London style says to use mocks as you work down the call stack, whether or not there's a side effect. At some point you might hit an edge where you're calling into third party code for a side effect (and all side effects are calling third party code), but that's not really the point.

This is where the "never mock code you don't own" principle comes in: if you're mocking out third party code, it needs to have a wrapper of your own code to hide it, so you're in control of the interface. At least in theory. You want to be passing that thing in anyway, so for the tests you pass down a MockThing, or a NullThing, or an InMemoryThing. That way the side effect can happen at the lower level, but the choice of exactly whether there's an observable side effect is still in control of the top-level application.

Really you and I are describing two different ways of achieving the same result: moving side effects to somewhere they're easy to handle independently of the logic, whether that's functional core/imperative shell, or dependency inversion. You don't really need mocks for either because the only time you're actually testing the side effect itself is probably an integration test, but they're a useful tool to get to that point.
A friend had their car stolen in St. Louis. Police did nothing, even though the location of the vehicle was known and the person who stole it was identified. When police did nothing, eventually the owner recovered the car themself when they found it abandoned. They got it repaired and reported it not-stolen. 3 months later they got pulled over and dragged out of the car at gunpoint, handcuffed, arrested, etc. For stealing their own car.

Edit:
My point is, police will absolutely arrest someone driving a stolen car. They love to arrest people, that's their main business. Recovering property isn't their main business and they actively avoid it. Generally police will not go to a specific location to recover a vehicle that's been stolen but now is sitting in someone's driveway, for example. I'm sure there are exceptions but I am fairly confident that stolen car recovery is rare and generally happens only if they catch someone actively driving around with the stolen car and the same license plates which have been recorded as belonging to a stolen vehicle.
Spice is slang for synthetic cannabinoids sprayed on some herb. The fact that it's classed in a group with codeine and cannabis is bizarre. These drugs are fucking dangerous. Possible effects include stroke, acute kidney failure, acute psychosis, psychological trauma. They gave me a transient ischaemic attack at the age of 21. Seriously. No permanent damage though, I was extremely lucky. My kidney function was in the gutter too but they bounced back. A friend of mine permanently lost his mind from it. Now he sits in his room all day muttering strange phrases and drooling from the clozapine they have him on.

Why did I do this? I was forced to do drug tests for cannabis more or less against my will(under duress). And I was a stupid kid who wanted to get high, and these horrible drugs were easily available, advertised as not showing up on tests, etc.

I have the chief responsibility for my own actions of course, but it's hard to ignore the fact that none of it would've happened if not for an extremely draconian and outmoded approach to drugs.

Do you have any example of your claim about providing help?
I agree to some degree. I am finishing up my PhD at the moment and have had this below-surface feeling that following this path is inherently selfish for a while.

Choosing to go into research means your career choice is entirely determined by what you are most interested in, what you are passionate about, what you want to spend your day thinking about. I feel like the benefit to society is often secondary in that choice. It's nice that often science benefits humanity as a whole, but often it also doesn't and is just obscure niche research.

And indeed, the relational sacrifices that come with a (high ambition) career in science are IMO not worth it. I would not recommend anymore to pursue some abstract high brow principle like "the pursuit of knowledge" over deep, loving, healthy, sustainable relationships with people to a young ambitious person. People are more real than principles.

Ideally you can combine it of course. But the academic job market is not easy and rarely allows this without significant friction.

I am 99% sure I will leave academia after my PhD. Not for the this reason per se, but it appears in the equation. The relational aspect is a big part, though.
That sounds like everything to do with the thing at hand to me. We wish everyone had the awesome perfect parents. That’s never going to happen. And even kids with great parents fall into the traps you mentioned above. All the things above are dangerous to people’s lives for the reasons you mentioned, and more reasons you didn’t mention.

I have no illusions about Apple being “good guys”, but this is why I use MacOS and Safari - both of those exist to sell Apple hardware, which is at least a little better than existing to sell my eyeballs. Not great, but not Microsoft or Google bad (yet).

Basically, I am paying the Apple tax because I get to be a few cycles behind the state of the art in software commoditizing their users.
Nothing spurred me on to do computer science until I took an actual programming course. I was like the rest of the population that had no idea or interest of the things going on underneath until it was showed for me.

The level of THC is completely irrelevant as one simply stops when she had enough or has some more if she feels like it. It’s not like a set physical portion of flower.
It's rocket science - rocketry is a mature engineering discipline. NASA found out in the 1960's that you need a flame trench + water deluge system to manage the exhaust plume, especially the vibrations.

>THC is potentiated by other cannabinoids

I have never seen any reliable evidence for this. CBD, the second most prevalent cannabinoid, acts as a negative allosteric modulator at CB2. There's a weak case that this may decrease cannabis-associated anxiety (because the synthetic JWH-018 was a strong CB2 ligand and caused severe anxiety). CBD is at high doses a DRD2 partial antagonist (antipsychotic effect), but it's very unlikely to reach this level with recreational use. The third-most common cannabinoid is THCV, which acts as an antagonist at the cannabinoid receptors. Beta-caryophyllene, not a cannabinoid, is a very low potency CB2 agonist; it is present in cannabis but also in rosemary, oregano and basil, herbs widely known for their pernicious addictive properties.

THC is a potent CB1 and CB2 partial agonist. It is predominantly responsible for the effects of cannabis. The minor cannabinoids appear, if anything, to reduce the effect of THC.

>I think a lot of people agree that cannabis offers a very favorable ratio of drawbacks and benefits compared to other drugs, including alcohol. Will this still be the case as new formulations are developed?

My only real concern is that dab pens seem to be to joints what smartphones were to the laptop. You used to have to think about what you were doing for a few minutes before inhaling.
>Don't know. Let's let the people who have the most interest here figure out a workable way around this.

You don't think people have thought about this shit since the internet started? There is literally no viable way- otherwise it probably would have already happened.

So honestly the entire argument is completely moot unless you want us to video chat with someone to verify our identity and age before we decide to search for a naughty image.
I'm looking at it and there is no free version. Is this correct?
The worst thing about having your SSN leaked in a breach is that you can’t get a long-term credit lock until after you’ve already suffered identity theft.

You need to show evidence you’ve had your identity stolen before you can safely prevent it from happening. The whole industry is exactly backwards.
Podcasts I listen to often feel pretty disconnected from the ads. Some do auto injection and may not know all (or any) of the ads that any given user hears. And folks cannot be experts in everything.

TWIT network does appear to try to vet their ads, even criticizing former sponsors for lax security once things come to light. Yet even they still promote Molecule and other pseudo-sci junk.

On the whole I think the best are listener supported shows. But I'm biased as I now work for a company that helps podcasters sell ad-free and premium access.
Could it be receiving signals but not sending them, or is that not how it works?
Odd. Well, I suppose you're right that's unequal requirements in an equal situation, though I'd propose the solution is to remove that law rather than extending it.
Doesn't this imply that "hype-magnets" and "hype-spreaders" ("the others") aren't engineers, or couldn't be?

Engineers aren't some special class of human with special brains or pseudo-Vulcan logic that makes it impossible for us to be just as hype-spreading as anyone else.
Go do a year in IR if you want some inside perspective -- and to shave a few years off your existence. Sounds about normal for a large telecommunications firm. These large firms don't have 30+ person IR teams on round the clock shifts distributed worldwide because nothing ever happens. T-Mobile just has some transparency and likely actual monitoring in place to detect these breaches instead of them just floating by until some threat actor sells the data somewhere public.
Every tower essentially allows an unauthenticated device to log on as an 'emergency' user to a special 'emergency' APN and grants an IMS connection to the emergency number (112/911/etc). See: https://www.sharetechnote.com/html/IMS_SIP_PSAP.html ("Emergency Call without Normal Registration")

My CBRS test networks all have their cells configured to explicitly deny an emergency bearer request for life-safety purposes. As soon as they see the deny they keep moving on to the commercial networks.
Did crypto create a greater need for programmers?
The point isn’t to store keys in the TPM. The point is to ensure you’re running an unmolested version of Windows that will enforce whatever security controls the DRM maker wants to have.

Part of that is things like:

* Don’t load an unsigned (or wrongly-signed) GPU driver, because it might be modified to allow a user to read from framebuffer memory after content has been decrypted.
Conspiracy theory: These hacks are being carried out by Experian to force T-Mobile into buying more credit monitoring for affected customers.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I grasp the salience here to super-intelligence. The model may be able to predict accurately what any particular human will write, but profoundly intelligent humans will be quite rare in the training data, and even those humans don't approach what people seem to mean when they talk about super-intelligence. Perhaps I'm missing your point.

Perhaps, I do not take any recreational drugs, so I might have the wrong mental image.

But I do work with teenagers, and have heard from many that blame their lack of class or job stability on marijuana, who complain that they have lost years of their life in a cloud, or that have done stupid stuff because they were either high, or bec. they were stressed out when not high.

I know a kid who is a lost cause, and his friends claim he took contaminated drugs; are they wrong?

I cannot imagine that it isn't a gateway - its not catchy like LSD, but someone who makes out with friends is surely more likely to try LSD, Meth or Coke, no?!

Would love to hear more - I know lots of people who encourage me to try a joint or two!

BTW, I saw once a similar comparison of cigarette taxes vs related costs. Surprisingly worthy comparison.

It's worth separating out the packaging waste in statistics e.g. if you buy a plastic doll in plastic packaging, the doll might account for most of the plastic.

If you buy a plastic lawn chair there may be no packaging, but still a sizeable lump of plastic.

Plus global averages hide variation in package recycling (and reclamation) rates are surprisingly okay in developed nations, even in the US which you'd think is culturally incapable based on the anecdotes you hear. It seems like big cities where lots of people live are doing better than less dense areas where relatively few people live, which keeps the stats high.

> Consciousness is awareness of itself. Inner monologue is self referential.

ChatGPT is definitely aware that it exists. In humans, the self-referential inner monologue activates when the mind is idle. The Default Mode Network is responsible for that processing. Can it be that ChatGPT is "thinking" when it's idle as well?

You don't have to prove damages, just negligence. T-Mobile has a fiduciary duty to protect your private details. The problem is you'll be lumped into to some class action suit and handed a payout for pennies on the dollar while the lawyers laugh all the way to the bank. If individuals started suing it would be an absolute nightmare for T-Mobile. I'd happily pay the 40 dollars for a small claims court fee, but thankfully I'm not a customer of this bozo operation.
True, I actually did that myself when I impulse bought one at an art supply store since it was at the checkout counter. It's a great way to find out if you're interested in experimenting with pens, or if you just want a no-fuss tool and have a passing curiosity in fountain pens. Do this before getting a non-disposable.
Not necessarily. Cannabis was extremely easy to find and there are reasons that something being banned would make it more exciting and popular. It's also gotten more expensive in many of the legal states.
> if your insurance company isn't going to reimburse you for an app that is classed as a medical device they definitely aren't going to reimburse you for other kinds of apps that are not approved.

Insurance companies are loathe to cover even FDA approved _physical_ devices. Insurance is enthusiastic to classify such things -- even treatments that are decades old -- as experimental. The only devices that are a shoe-in are things with widespread adoption like CPAP or pacemakers. If your condition is uncommon, you'll be paying out of pocket.

That wipes FDA approved apps off the map for most of us. Meanwhile, the app store is full of apps the claim to provide relief for various conditions for just $14.99/mo. Some of them are even actually effective.

I'm definitely not arguing that this state of affairs is a good thing, but it is pragmatic reality for those of us with chronic conditions. Unless we have truly fantastic insurance or loads of income (things that are often mutually exclusive with chronic conditions), we are priced out of the tools that are most trustworthy.

That may be true, but I can't speak to any research being conducted in that area. My point is that the hype around dangers of super-intelligence seems to have been spurred by improvements to large language models, even though large language models don't seem (to me) a suitable way to develop something with super-intelligence.
If true, then I'm in love. Procmon and procexp have saved my ass multiple times over when I was a windows developer.
In this case, nothing particularly meaningful or useful, they mostly just shrink wrap the underlying (single) implementation's details and re-expose them as-is for the caller to cope with. Some people also think that that somehow helps with encapsulation too.
