This is a very interesting way to look at this. Do you have many more resources for this "interpretation" of a psychedelic experience.

I believe, the slowing down of the "clock" can be said for meditation as well in some sense. Because even in a deep meditation you lose a sense of "time" and that's when it gets slightly "psychedelic", for a lack of a better word.

One thing that is different with meditation is that the senses are somewhat rendered inactive. So that means, the feedback artifacts are generated on our internal networks, i.e. consciousness and not from external stimuli ?
Didn’t Wittgenstein beat children? What an inspirational thought leader…
But they didn't add support - they added support behind a feature flag. That's a massive difference.
The commonsense thing about all this alien/ufo stuff, is with everyone having a phone in their pocket, lots of solid footage would exist by now.

The 1950's concept of a government conspiracy able to cover up all evidence from the public does't hold water in the age of the smart phone imho.
None of that sounds like you were called a "racist transphobe nazi homophobe" like you originally said. Funny how you picked an example of something to frame yourself as correct in the most "scientific" way possible instead.

Have you purchased a headset before? If so, what has been your experience, if not, why not?
None of the Apple apps they showed for the VisionPro had any substantial photogrammetry mapping. They didn’t paste virtual TVs to the walls, or place furniture into an empty room. All the Apple apps were contained to virtual floating screens, even the keyboard (instead of placing in on a surface).

They did show a few third party apps interacting with real world objects (the train moving on a table) but I wonder what amount of that was concept and what was real.

Connecting the virtual objects to those in the real world I feel is a killer feature that will open up a huge set of opportunities. If this doesn’t have that yet, it’s still more VR than AR in my book.

Er, what? Who do you think is showing up shortly after the drone does? Who do you think the drone reports to?
> This is not true for my savings account.

I'd say that "locked on the protocol" is functionally equivalent to having money in a bank account, so yeah it is true for your savings account. You can still take it out (aka "unlock" it) at any time. The staking/unstaking process is just an on-chain event that requires the staker to have custody over the ETH. No different from a deposit or withdrawal from a bank account.

This is different than a lot of other DeFi which does not require any external custody.

Important part of the conversation that some people here seem to forget.
Thanks for commenting! I agree these have some overlap.

The biggest difference that I can see is that with Breadcrumbs the location data is yours only. It is not being sent anywhere. If you share it with other devices, the location data is always end-to-end encrypted.

Breadcrumbs is also not tracking anything else than location - so it can focus on that area more - adding specific features such as changing the location collection accuracy/frequency.
Yeah, but we don't care about preserving the existing large production system, we explicitly want to switch to a different, more appropriate system.
The point? There are no other ARM laptops that are even close to being competitive right now. I want a good fanless laptop. My only choice is Apple. Asahi made it possible and I now have a great experience. What's the problem?
Just FYI, the word you're looking for is "vicious".

Viscous relates to viscosity.
I think quality contributors have been evaporating from Reddit for a fairly long time in a dead sea fashion, leaving a place that's effectively inhospitable.

I left in 2018 or there-around. Probably stayed too long, in retrospect. 10+ year account, moderated multiple subreddits and a pillar of the community type figure in a few others.

On some level it felt like each election cycle dug deeper trenches until the entire website looked like the battle of Verdun. This wasn't exclusively an American phenomenon either. The same thing happened on several national subreddits.

I also got the sense that the reddit members cultivated a sort of creeping depression that was really allowed to fester on some subreddits essentially all about exchanging thoughts of hopelessness and doom. This was before Covid. I can't imagine it got better those years. Granted, Reddit was wallowing in "forever alone"-memes even 15 years ago, but it feels like the darkness of that abyss got darker as the years passed.

I've looked back a few times but I've immediately turned heel as I saw what a toxic dumpster fire it's turned into. Like it isn't as obvious if you've been in it, but jesus f christ on pogo stick is it ever clear to see when you've been away for a couple of years.
Fair point. I didn't realize they already filed for IPO.
I think Musk learned the hard way how hard it is to strike the right balance.

Anybody that thinks Reddit is fascist should spend 60 days moderating a popular sub. Your attitude might change.

This isn’t to say that there aren’t mods with power trips. Reddit has essentially outsourced their trust and safety department. It isn’t going to be perfect.
Absolutely scorching hot. You only have to look at all of the crypto startup activity based in Miami to have your answer.
WebP has a patent license and anyone can use it. People have been using and implementing it for over a decade, without problems. WebP also isn't even comparable to JPEG XL: it's the "old next-gen" image format – it's between WebP and AVIF. There is just no incentive for Google to push for WebP: they have nothing to gain by it.

Chrome never properly supported JPEG XL; it was hidden behind a feature flag, which of course almost no one enables. Their concerns are also valid: "we don't want to expose users to security-sensitive code without significant benefit for the users". Supporting as few as possible image formats is essentially a good thing for everyone; see e.g. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libpng

Google has banked on AVIF, which has quite a bit more traction. I do think that JPEG XL would be a good addition, but I also think it's reasonable to have a different opinion on that.

Everything about this post is wrong. The "many people who believe" this are engaging in nonsensical conspiratorial thinking without any evidence, which is pretty much what I've come to expect on HN about anything Google-related.
Polyfill using Wasm. I see almost no downsides. you can even use the original code.
But SEC refused to categorize crypto as securities
Sure, I can found a drug marketplace selling all drugs and try to be the most compliant of those. Those intentions in no way require that the government just change the rules to allow me to do whatever otherwise illegal thing my business requires.
The RTX 4090 has 330.3 TOPS with INT8 precision, so for inference workloads it is still a magnitude faster
True, but you wouldn't do that to the very last one chromosome in existence.

Some of these tomes might well be the last copy out there.
Right, I didn't mean this to mean that it won't work. I meant it more that the gestures are almost certainly going to get very limited use. Much like gestures for your phone. Neat, and can be rehearsed for good demos.

So, the idea that you will have a mobile workspace that can go with you where ever you want it is unlikely to actually work. Is it easier than taking a monitor? I mean, sure. Probably not as easy as taking a laptop, though. Especially with how long the battery lasts. (And the laptop almost certainly fits more easily in a bag.)
re (1), that guy (Dr. Garry Nolan) is quoted in the OP article, although upon reading the OP article again, it doesn't seem that the guy has first-hand knowledge of the supposed evidence, so it doesn't mean much.

Although I guess for (2), his quote in the OP article does imply that he believes that these could be alien craft.
You can work in python for years and never know this. How many devs know the entire spec of their working language by heart?

I've been bitten by this exact thing. It's not strictly obvious IMO. Though it didn't make it through testing.
> But even this way, apple devices have by far the longest lifetimes, macs, iphones will have 2-3 owners easily - so is it really fair to call them out, or is it just baseless emotional reaction?

I would dispute this claim, e.g. Apple settles iPhone slowdown case for $500m[1], just the first link I found looking for "planned obsolescence apple" on DuckDuckGo. This is not exclusive to their iPhones as one can find with a quick search.

I believe this only applies to large tech companies, which I appreciate. Preventing regulatory capture is important
And now we are confusing army with police. I am fully aware that in the States the police gets more and more weaponized but still, I'm a firm believer they should not be the same.
Regarding the possibility to do "experiments" or the usefulness of standard materialist epistemology to study consciousness, I recommend reading the galileo report: https://galileocommission.org/report/

It is a report from scientists worldwide, that calls for opening the field of what is considered "acceptable science" when studying consciousness. They mostly center their arguments around near death experiences and recall of past lives, but I think their arguments apply here.

What I got from them is that there is room to include more first person experiences in scientific research. We might never reach the same degree of certitude and precision as in the material sciences, but thsre is a strong argument to be made that consciousness is likely not just emerging from matter, but might be of a different nature. Continuing research about how could consciousness emerge from material processes is legitimate and important, but it should not be seen as the only possible explanation, and researchers should not be shamed out of making wildly different assumptions (as long as they are rigorous and honest).

I am curious to see what will come out of this DMTx project. I am not yet sure what to think about them from their website, but I will definitely try to remember to check them out again in the future!
> Dude, I made that comment in response to your "My coworker lost $X0,000 over Celsius" to highlight the fact that not everyone's circle is losing money.

But you making money doesn't allow my friend, or anyone from FTX, or Voyager to get their money back.

And you fail to see that it is HOW he lost money that I take issue with. Celsius lied about unregulated staking/interest yielding instruments to him and the natur of how it worked.

And Coinbase is making the same lie right now with Coinbase Earn. And you are sitting here defending it, and ignoring three major collapses last year while doing so.
I argued with Ben Shapiro about his "Jews in Name Only" remarks, for instance. One can always hide behind vague phrases like that – what Wikipedia calls "weasel words" – and keep changing them.

Look through my comment history -- do I strike you as someone who dances around a point, or minces words? I am telling you how it is: you seem to be uninformed on how the US legal system works. Courts can't be used as "test suites" that you can just spin up, and legal jargon isn't the same as plain english, nor is it like code that you can just test for a binary outcome.

What you're suggesting is that I waste my time petitioning the SEC to look into Yu Gi Oh or Pokemon, which operated unregistered securities schemes 20 years ago, and they had ample opportunity to look at. I would be one of hundreds of thousands of such petitioners. They would they consult their own appetite for going after them in courts, which they clearly have none for. They care about crypto, they don't care about trading cards and children's shows, pure and simple. They are exercising their discretion in who they go after.

And by the way, the actual definition that was posted above, from their official site, is what you'd call vague:

The Commission, on the other hand, does not require vertical or horizontal commonality per se, nor does it view a "common enterprise" as a distinct element of the term "investment contract."

You could see why, in the face of such vague and amorphous language, a ton of things could be considered "a common enterprise", so the assertion "Yu Gi Oh definitely doesn't have a common enterprise" is laughable. If the SEC wanted to, they'd argue that it does. The definition is extremely vague.

The pseudo-intellectual bullshit is actually when you refuse to have consistent definitions, and just drone on about various things. New-Age practitioners or post-modern feminist or other movements have done this. Requiring people to be clear and define terms that sound vague is a basic requirement in math, science, and general rational discourse.
I'm surprised that Vulkan wasn't the target, which could then have something like Zink layered on top for OpenGL.
We also shouldn't assume that Apple will magically fix all of these issues either. These are well known problems with VR, and Apple has yet to prove they've solved them. And until these problems are solved, VR will struggle to move beyond a novelty.
Why would they bother to use a 1080p display?

If it was 4K, I'd consider it as a travel work monitor...
If augmented reality can provide me with step-by-step guidance on diagnosing and fixing a car leak, replacing a diverter valve on a faucet, installing roof-customized solar panels, and various other DIY tasks, while also showing me the necessary tools, then I would be inclined to purchase this product. I'm growing weary of watching YouTube videos for car repairs and struggling to align the locations of bolts or parts with my own vehicle.

The concept of augmented reality also appeals to me when it comes to recipes. I've been considering investing in a Thermomix device, which costs around $1500, because I appreciate the convenience of their on-screen guided instructions rather than attempting to figure out the correct temperature, cooking time, slice size. If augmented reality can guide me through cooking two or three dishes simultaneously, that would be a very convenient time saver. For example, while the onions are sautéing for 5 mins, the software knows that I have enough time to prepare a 2nd dish like chopping romaine leaves for a salad. I’d end my subscription to Soylent pretty quick for something like that.
> how can it be marketed as a step forward compared to having the React pages interact with any kind of back end through reasonably standard web services?

With RSP you can implement a server function and (relatively) directly call it on the server, type-safely. Try doing that another back-end (I have and mostly failed).
3 years ago, I extensively used the all-company's shared filesystem to pass information between 2 independent Jenkins instances (One on Windows for jobs that worked best under a Windows machine and one on Redhat which was considered as the "main" instance); and between the Jenkins and target application servers (Windows and Redhat) which all had the company's filesystem mounted. It took time to perfect, but worked wonderfully once I adopted the rename-in-place technique as described by parent.

I wonder if the system is still in place. Last time I checked the Jenkins folder was occupying 270 GB (!) of the 10 TB shared FS, most likely because FS block size was 1 MB.
In the general case, having delusions and other psychotic issues are not selected for traits with positive outcomes for the individuals having them. Your life is hard if you have them and conventional success is rare.

They persist in the general population to an extent for the same reason other hereditary illness persists. "I would die for two brothers or 8 cousins". A gene that is to your detriment in 1/3 cases but carries an advantage in the other 2/3 is still selected for. We have lots of examples of this in other heritable disease types, though admittedly no one is quite sure what advantage there might be to you if your brother or cousin is schizophrenic (for example).
> At what point did password managers invent the idea of using a different password for each account?

They didn't invent the idea.

They just made it useable for people who have a lot of different accounts.

I've got nearly 500 accounts, and based on a comment thread a while back where someone asked here how many accounts people have in their password managers I'm on the low side.
from an infosec perspective, im surprised no ones brought up how stupid dangerous this is.

crypto mixers and ransomware groups frequently have ties to organized crime, so the list of people you are "ripping off" could include formidably dangerous groups like the black axe mafia. If you really are ripping off "professional" criminals, you clearly havent considered their moral turpitude or your own personal safety.

I am wondering what projects you guys are working on outside of software.

How difficult is it to rate limit API requests? Just Fibonacci the increasing slowdown.

And require something like a public key to access the API so you can track requests coming from multiple hosts.

Then any rate of access above that of a power user can be charged for appropriately. And make it so that activating API access is something that can't be automated so people can't create thousands of API dummy accounts.
What is "extreme skepticism" other than ignorance?

A real skeptic actually looks at the data and isn't content simply by ignoring it.

Here, you simply imply this guy was a "crank". Maybe you should take a closer look first?

What problem exactly? This seems like a dismissive take on someone's positive experience.

Are your referring to the scientific problem of studying cause & effect of the psychedelic experience? Science is figuring that out.
Thanks for links to those extra studies. The 3.1% and 10% presented > 12 hours are averaged across all days of the week not just the Sunday to Monday gap which is likely to be greater given the reduction in public services in Ireland on a Sunday. Do you know of previous studies which report Monday as being particularly risky? I can only find references to time of day (circadian cycle) which obviously make sense given how many bodily processes are linked to a circadian cycle but I'm skeptical about a weekly cycle (which I find confusing to be referred to as circadian also)
Most fringe political ideologies do to some extent. It turns out it's hard to compel people to act or vote if they're feeling content and safe. So you make them feel indignant and under threat.

Why shouldn't we? We tax people on the FMV of something valuable created out of thin air, why should gold be an exception?
Our Lost Independence (In Scholarly Publishing)
I'm married with a kid on the way and have a pretty good social life, seeing friends and family multiple times a week. When we aren't out, my wife and I regularly watch TV and movies together.

Based on the above, do you think I ever use screens by myself? As a programmer and a writer, would you claim that I have no use for a quiet, private workspace without distractions?

(It's crazy how many people are coming out of the woodwork to insist on this false dichotomy between being socially well-adjusted and having a use for a screen that can't be shared.)
I don't think it's self referential, the whole idea holds on that if you manage to do predictions that are confirmed, you still have to assume that your perceptions are consistent across time. As an individual you can check you perceptions across time, with several people you remove yourself as a variable.

I've been extreme in the formulations, but no, you don't need other methods,
repeatable experiment with accurate predictions is enough. The heuristics are quite reliable. It's just that we tend to forget/ignore that everything that what we think of being true is just a large compound of beliefs, and that the only way to validate those beliefs is to use them to make prediction, and validate it through experiments.
If you have more than one person recording the same event with an iPhone, uploading them all into one place would enable pretty precise photogrammetry to render the scene in detailed 3D.

That’s exactly the sort of complicated-behind-the-scenes technology that Apple is great at wrapping in a simple UI and clever name.
The full story is that this was the 100th similar interaction the mod had that week and they were short on patience.
Vertical integration/monopolism is part of it too. The money machine feeds everything else. They sell very high end hardware for uses that are beyond the needs of 99% of their market.

I literally had a dream the other night that I still had my android phone from 5 years ago because it had an IR blaster I could use to control my TV. That's probably the last time a phone from any maker had a distinguishing feature worth paying for.

I guess at the end of the day scale matters. When Reddit was doing this that percentage of fake posts was huge per capita of total users.

Now, if Reddit is doing fake posts in mass to change the valuation of an IPO, that would be the definition of fraud, specifically a public fraud the SEC could investigate. Reddit doing this at the start at best would be a civil investigation by any investors it had at that time, but it's highly unlikely any investors it had when committing said fraud would bring said investigation because it increased the value of its investment.
