The connection of psychedelics to capital efficiency and growth is wild to me - I do love Matt Levine's newsletter and I feel that part of this commentary was satirical in order to make a point.

I feel like Silicon Valley's psychedelic era is like a strain "tech bro" wellness culture (often referred to as "biohacking"). And just like wellness culture it's really hard to distinguish something that is helpful in small doses vs. something that becomes a gratuitous lifestyle (like drinking charcoal or putting jade eggs somewhere you shouldn't).

The first step in this far fetched plan would be passing a law that makes it legal for an AI to own property and operate a company. I don't see that happening.
It's an interesting read but I kept finding myself questioning the conclusions that were drawn. I always assumed it was that phenomenon where we're seeing a false pattern in randomness. If I'm reading things right, here, the article cites a study that basically involved calling people and asking them if they wake up before their alarm clock regularly -- I'm hoping they've accounted for this.

The thing I'm talking about (it has a name that escapes me and Google was no help) was something that affected my ex-wife a lot. She felt like she saw her birthday (US format) on the clock all the time. Upon further examination, her birthday lands near a mealtime (when she's more likely to look at the clock) and being that one arbitrary combination of numbers has significant meaning, every time she looks at the clock around meal-time, daily, she has about a 1 in 20 shot of really noticing the time, but were it -- say -- 12:05, she wouldn't make a mental note of it (or may not even remember looking at the clock).

Similarly with time "just before the alarm goes off", you wake up several times throughout the night and sleep lighter in the morning. You're really going to notice the time if the alarm is going to go off in 5 minutes vs. say 45 minutes. You're also far more likely to look at the time if it's starting to get light outside, if the birds are chirping, or there's other subtle signs of morning approaching whereas when you awake and it's obviously night you are less likely to bother checking the time.
It should be noted that Lenovo's power management software (pre Win10) played a big part in users' happy battery experiences.

If only we could harness the people who still insist that rust is all hype and engage in impressive gymnastics to ignore all evidence to the contrary...

Some of the stuff people say about Rust reminds me of iOS users talking about Android. "Tell me you are operating from a place of near total ignorance, without telling me that you're talking out your butt".

See: the number of people, here, acting like you can't do raw pointers in Rust, or acting like it's militant woke youngins forcing poor big Google to adopt a safer, productive language.
It could be the case. There are multiple separate efforts to improve the debugging experience in production (improving monitoring, cheap profiling, improving logging, encoding more info in the DWARF output), but all of those will take some time to reach the same level of quality that, for example, Java has today.

musl doesn't implement TCP DNS at all. When it gets a respond with the truncation bit set, it just assumes the completed records in the truncated response were sufficient, the best records even, and proceeds as if the lookup succeeded. It's hard to take seriously claims that it's strictly implementing the protocol.
This sort of implies that Facebook is responsible for making a sex chatbot, when they’re really just providing the base model.
There are all sorts of things that a new phone can do that one from a few years ago, even if you don't personally use it. Similarly even if you don't play games, plenty of other people do.

It's also incorrect to only consider phones, as TSMC manufactures many (most?) of the non-x86 laptop/desktop CPUs, where performance is much more overtly desired.

The final point is that this isn't just a matter of smaller equals faster, but also smaller equals less power - which I assume does matter to phone users.

It's so annoying to get a Github link to a private repo (aka, review comments) only to open into an internal webview that isn't authenticated.
Since probably a year back I can't get links in emails to open correctly from Outlook with any browser without copying the link manually. So for me it does not matter.

I think apps should work in the general way an OS is designed. This change may lead to the same mobile app horrors where every app is also a browser that breaks common user flows.
Carbon is sort of a plan B, for working on existing C++ code that would be too difficult to migrate to Rust. It also doesn't really exist yet.
Yes I started using this in the past year. It dramatically sped up my watch/test cycle on mac.

Controversial answer (maybe): Not changing you mind may be appropriate* (I'll explain [1]) though it also reminds me of a famous and apt observation [2].

[1] New facts do not always permit a change of mind because they they may support. indisputable but incompatible explanations/opinions/points of view.More facts are needed to reconcile things.

For this reason a person should strive to cultivate the skill of believing positions at the some time opinions, wholly incompatible. This is difficult. It takes effort and practice to partition your mind in a way that separates belief in one viewpoint from the belief in the other.

It is often uncomfortable [3], and for me I can only truly achieve it for brief moments. Nonetheless it's an extremely useful skill to navigate encountering new information & consider another person's viewpoint when it contradicts my own.

Ideally new information eventually comes along that explains how both can be true at the time.

[2] Quote: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines" --Ralph Waldo Emerson

[3] To reveal some very personal details, I was helped in honing this skill by having to deal with mental health issues that force completely irrational thoughts on me at the same time that I attempt, with varying degrees of success, to bring down a hammer of rational reasoning and logic against those thoughts. The former makes for a tortuous experience in itself, while the later imposes an very strange but helpful contradictory belief with both held in my head simultaneously.
I don’t think this is a case of Apple crippling non-Apple headphones but more a case of Bluetooth being pretty limited.

Either way, the user experience is still better than on Windows. Whenever I start up my PC it steals my headphones, even if I’m currently listening on another device (or worse, making a phone call). I’ve searched online and it seems there is no way to switch this off. The only solution seems to be to manually unpair or disable Bluetooth after using it.
These arguments are rarely about who's objectively right, but rather an ideological justification for a power struggle. Undoing "Vatican II" is largely about repositioning Catholic attention towards the wealthy end of the social spectrum, to make it easier to wield hard, temporal power; Latin mass is just one of the ideological wedges used to support that effort.
> Without certain chemicals, you can't have certain thoughts.

Well put and true -- just like machines let us do certain things we couldn't do without them (either extending or repairing our body/mind), the same for chemicals. But I don't agree that this obviously follows:

> Chemistry is what's running the show.

It all depends on what you define as the show. I would prefer to think of the show as something that takes place outside of my head and, even assuming it is reducible to chemistry/physics, it's part of a system way to complex for us to understand with mechanical models and necessitates some sort of framework where each individual is an end unto themselves.

Drugs can go a long way to recreate the sensations similar to sympathy and possibly even jumpstart it, but they can't actually create the intellectual side of the link that creates real living relationship in the real world. Having the tools to decouple the feelings from the meat of the relationship could be a powerful tool in the right hands, but applied by misguided people it will make things worse.

... to put it another way, it seems like the elite and the most poor are both using more drugs. But instead of solidarity it seems there's even more of a disconnect.

> A broad optimism about technology and communication using technology

A big part of this in my mind was the novelty of it. It was actually a whole new capability for people.

In 1977 if you loved Star Wars maybe you could talk to your friends about it. If you didn't know anyone that felt the same about it you were kind of stuck. If you were lucky you might have a sci-fi convention nearby you could attend. Magazines might give you some interesting details but it wasn't a conversation.

This was the same in 1987 for most people. Unless you had a 1) computer 2) modem 3) BBS client 4) a local BBS that was affordable to call that let you talk Star Wars 5) the knowledge to do all that you were stuck with few options to talk Star Wars.

By 1997 the average Star Wars lover had a lot more good options for talking Star Wars. You no longer had to hope a local BBS had good Star Wars options. The Internet gave everybody on it global reach. Your homepage could declare your love/hate of all things Star Wars. You could get e-mail or guestbook responses to stuff you wrote.

If you were just getting into Star Wars in 2007 there had been at least a decade of existing discussion and web pages about Star Wars. It was just assumed people on the Internet were talking about Star Wars and you could jump into any of those discussions. The same was true in 2017.

The 1997 time frame was really the first time that idea was true. It was enpowering to just be able to write stuff about a subject and publish it in a globally accessible way. Normal people never really had that ability before. It was also very much "on the Internet no one knows you're a dog". A 15 year old's fan page about something existed alongside a 30 year old professional writer's fan page.
It's the "safari suggestion" feature. As you type it does a sort of auto complete. For me it was a restuarant name, that "safari suggested" and put at the top of the browser window above the google results. I think the trick is happens before the return is clicked. I was on the go and trying to work fast. I turned it off as a user suggested.
Youtube is giving you TikTok whether you want it or not.

Not all fads get adopted. AR is in my opinion still a tech before its time, which makes it a fad - for now - but not necessarily forever. Cellphones and particularly smart watches are a form of ambient technology that have caught on, and I think it's only a matter of process shrinkage and battery tech before it happens. Say another 7-10 years for battery density to double again. Early ebooks were objectively as bad as current or last generation VR equipment. Nobody was going to adopt that. It's a matter of connecting the dots.

If you don't like the idea of everyone in AR, that's fine. Then I recommend you start now to participate in environmental and conservation special interest groups, because there is a day coming when philosophers, ascetics, and people who touch trees on purpose are the main demographics of people who actively reject augmentation for augmentation's sake. There are loud opinions in each of those groups, and they have merit.

And frankly we could use a few more science-minded tree huggers to dilute the conspiracy theorists.

There is an important distinction that should be made here. Your question isn't about putting up with phone calls but rather that you don't like business phone calls, whether making or receiving them.

So if we separate the call types:

Personal calls - a personal phone call gives you the opportunity to have just that, a personal connection. Sure, you could argue that the future might bring even more personal touches using virtual reality but for now I don't think your mother would appreciate an email from you as much as a phone call.

But it seems like you're really focused on business calls so let's dive in there.

When you need support - When I need help with something, I'd usually prefer a phone call because it allows me to quickly ask follow up questions or interpret nuance that I might not glean in an email. Of course, it also means that I should get a more immediate answer to my specific question. It also means that I'm in a bit more control of when I'm going to get an answer or at least I hope.

This is a HUGE advantage for small businesses over large because you can build a ton of trust with your clients by giving them a number to call that actually will provide them with answers. Of course, if you're in a B2C business you'll need to manage this wisely, but customers generally don't trust that sending in an email will net them a good answer. Answering the phone and telling them the answer is a huge customer confidence win and better, most big companies can't do this.

Believe it or not, but sales is also about a personal connection. When you're doing business with someone you want to trust the person on the other end and it is _very_ hard to build trust via email.

I think it's great that you trust that you can send mail to a large company and assume it will end up with the right person but I would much rather call the company than depend on their mailroom figuring out where to send the message.

It seems your rant here isn't really about phone calls, but instead about context switching and the interrupter being a phone call. To manage the context switching AND manage phone calls I'd recommend something like putting on a Do Not Disturb during a part of the workday and letting people leave voicemails that you can later return.

>You are allowed to charge a nominal fee for the distribution of source code.

You added the word "nominal" but the GPL offers no guidance for how large the fee can be. RedHat appears to be breaking norms here but probably not breaking the license.

GPLv2: You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

GPLv3: You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

> GPL does not allow for gating the source code. Full stop.

RedHat is getting around this by saying "If you ask for it, we'll give you the source code for a high fee. If the source code we give you gets released to others, that's totally fine! We'll just immediately terminate all business dealings with you forever, if it does." GPLv3 has some language that very arguably might prevent this, but CentOS is licensed under GPLv2 and no one has found a clause which makes this behavior obviously improper, yet.
I think this is often a function of Rust OSS libs vice the language itself. The embedded Rust community has created and promoted bad APIs. I think it's worth pointing this out and building other APIs, even though this doesn't endear you to the Rust community. I'm worried people will get the wrong idea about embedded Rust ergonomics and attribute these APIs to the language itself.
try chessvision.ai, it allows you to scan the page and get the next best move.
I don't think there's a single "correct" way to use that phrase, different people understand it differently. The meaning I'm most familiar with is an obscure exception demonstrating that your rule of thumb is usually reliable. For example:

"Street parking is always allowed"

"Not always! Three years ago there was a marathon that went through this street and you weren't allowed to park here that morning."

This exception is so specific and obscure that it "proves" (in a casual conversational sense) that "you can always park here" is a good rule. Not all exceptions prove the rule: if the exception is "except on weekends and holidays and overnight", that's so significant and obvious that it actually disproves the rule.
Ah, you said planned here so I assumed that was what you where talking about:

> The entire _planned_ starlink constellation has less aggregate switching capacity than a pair of current generation core routers.

I generally agree with those estimates based on how they’re defining limits though those definitions really depend on what you care about. Aka predicting actual utilization at one end vs just considering what the satellites could physically do in ideal conditions etc. Thus the theoretical impact of direct customer to customer links for a satellite over the Atlantic for example can vary wildly.
"Async" is optimized for the special case of a server that is I/O bound and spends most of its time waiting for network traffic. This covers most webcrap, so many people who do nothing else want that. It also works like JavaScript, a model with which many web programmers are comfortable.

It's a bad fit if you have enough compute work to keep all the CPUs busy. Then you're dealing with thread priorities, infinite overtaking and starvation, fairness, and related issues.
The numbers there seem odd (or did before the page broke, possibly due to the HN 'hug of death')

90% chance of near term "human level" AI but only a 75% chance someone tries to influence the US election with "AI driven misinformation" which for most definitions of "AI" and "misinformation" is already happening?

You can never be 100% sure. Even the compiler, firmware, or hardware could be compromised.

Security comes down to reducing attack surface, ideally to an infinitesimal degree.
https://jrnl.sh/en/stable/

I feel like this tool is similar in spirit to this idea.
The people who cry about "Wokism" never clearly define what they mean by that term. It is just a way for them to use a pejorative term without actually saying what it is they are against.

Are they against people who demand equal justice? Are they against people who demand voting rights? They don't say so.

They don't have to say so because all they need to do is have a tantrum about "Wokism". Not a very science-based approach but really just an Ad Hominem against people who say being awake is a good thing.
While I do not build LFS regularly or for production use, the security improvement typically comes from the fact that the end system is _super_small_ and focused. Less software means less attack surface.

Sure, compromised binaries are nasty but personally I do place quite a lot of trust with the distribution repos.

(PS, if you are reading this and contribute packages to distribution repos: Thank you!)
