LSD is one of the most faked drugs by far. There are communities whose sole purpose is to find the real amongst the fake. It’s so bad that you’re more likely to get fake LSD than real… Cocaine is always somewhat contaminated but it’s comparatively very easy to get what people consider a quality product.

You can look at the trademark's registration in the USPTO site that was linked[1]. See the "Documents" tab. This one was first issued in ~2018, so would not need renewal until 2028.

You don't generally need to sue every infringer in order to keep your trademark. My understanding is it can vary by court and it gets a bit legally complex, and the final decision will depend on various factors (eg: [2]).

This is actually a good point. Not necessarily true for everyone, but it can be caused by avoiding physical exercise too much after being sick for weeks. It mimics/triggers depression and you feel sick/bad because of that. Had that pre-2019, so it sounds very familiar. I felt sick for months and when I had to ignore it, it went relatively quickly away (in a few days really).

Some might call this psychosomatic, but I feel like calling it like this is maybe reversed or at least sounds reversed to me as the physical state triggers the psychological condition and can then start a vicious cycle, which is only broken on the physical level.

edit: Of course don't go full tilt and be sensible with your physical exercise after not doing anything (lying in bed) for a week or more. Even a walk in the park can be exercise!

They apparently forgot that Amazon, one of the largest corporations in the world, exists. So no, I and the entire world do not stand in line at the store.

This feels like you're attacking a strawman version of technical analysis.

None of our economic models can predict a meteor hitting the earth either. Does that mean we should conclude that all of them "cannot work"?

I think that Let's Encrypt gets a lot of undeserved criticism for being the only major ACME-compatible CA. Yes, it's not so good to have monopolies on authenticity, but Let's Encrypt was founded by Mozilla, the EFF and the University of Michigan and was endorsed by the FSF.

That's a pretty good set of organisations when considering the general status of the internet, and a set that doesn't overlap with the major players in consumer technology (Apple, Microsoft and Google).
You are absolutely correct. Any infection has the potential to cause serious, long-term problems. Often it is our own immune system going haywire.

I don't think anyone has any problem with that notion. Severe illness is severe.

I think pushback on long covid is when it is similar to antivaxxers claims of vax injuries -- where everything that anyone suffers after the event is lazily traced back to a single source, whether it's "got vaccinated" or "had covid". If someone who had a mild case of covid now attributes every mental state, malaise, physical discomfort, headaches, trouble concentrating, etc, to "long covid", it should properly earn skepticism.

> Transformers can be generally categorized into one of three categories: “encoder only” (a la BERT); “decoder only” (a la GPT); and having an “encoder-decoder” architecture (a la T5). Although all of these architectures can be rigged for a broad range of tasks (e.g. classification, translation, etc), encoders are thought to be useful for tasks where the entire sequence needs to be understood (such as sentiment classification), whereas decoders are thought to be useful for tasks where text needs to be completed (such as completing a sentence). Encoder-decoder architectures can be applied to a variety of problems, but are most famously associated with language translation.

theres a whole lot of "thought to be"'s here. is there a proper study done on the relative effectiveness of encoder only vs decoder only vs encoder-decoder for various tasks?
An artist used Google Earth to craft a record-setting wedding proposal [video]
Even if since Skylake server the AVX-512 ISA includes scalar, 128-bit vector, 256-bit vector and 512-bit vector instructions, it was not possible to implement any subset that did not include the 512-bit vector instructions, because there were no means for a program to discover that the 512-bit instructions are missing.

Now, a different method has been defined for discovering through CPUID which AVX-512 a.k.a. AVX10 features are implemented, so only now it has become possible to implement an up to 256-bit subset.

Moreover when 128-bit vector and 256-bit vector instructions have been added to AVX-512, 2 bits from the EVEX prefix that were previously used for rounding control have been reused to encode the length of the vector operands.

Because of this, only the 512-bit vector instructions and the scalar instructions can specify the rounding control. So if the 512-bit vector instructions are deleted, there is no longer any way to specify the rounding control for vector instructions.

To solve this problem, in the first CPUs that will implement the 256-bit subset of AVX-512, new encodings will be used for the 256-bit instructions with rounding control.

Also the XSAVE and XRSTOR instructions had to be modified to save and restore correctly the new vector registers and mask registers.

So implementing the 256-bit subset of a AVX-512, a.k.a. AVX10/256, is not so straightforward as a microcode update, it requires changes in the instruction decoders and in the structure of the CPUID registers and other smaller changes.

And none of this seems to apply to startup valuation because startup "notional stock price" is based on the valuation of what the next round of investors think the company is worth, not the market. Does technical analysis only work if the stock value is based on the greater fool theory?

Quantitative trading != technical analysis. They couldn't be more different.

A quant trader analyzes real world events, both inside and outside the market, to predict stock prices. This is a proven and successful strategy, and in some ways it is essentially automating what people already do with fundamental analysis, just getting an edge by being faster.

Technical analysis involves looking at a single data point – the past price and volume of a stock – and making a future projection.

When a company releases an earnings report a quant algorithm will analyze it and make trades before you can even click on the link. A technical analyst deems the earnings report useless. Where the stock will go depends on how it has traded for the last N periods, nothing else.

> If Google is Mozilla's primary revenue source (especially if it's the majority), then Google effectively controls Mozilla via the leverage it has to pull Mozilla's largest revenue source.

There's been speculation for a long time that the real reason Google pays for that is to keep Mozilla afloat and stave off antitrust investigations related to Chrome.

That may have changed with other browsers coming out, although almost all of them are based on Chromium. Ianal, have no idea whether or not someone can be a "competitor" if they're using largely the same source.

If it's true that Google is mostly paying for antitrust avoidance and that something like Edge isn't a "competitor", Mozilla has substantial leverage. Mozilla just needs to be cheaper than an antitrust investigation and potential loss of that case. I would imagine that's not hard to do, that sounds expensive.
You're setting up a strawman argument between continuing to burn fossil fuels and 'degrowth' and keeping the industrializing world in poverty. People are downvoting you because there's a third option which just gets aggressive with renewables like wind and solar because they're the cheapest. The whole idea that there's this inevitable tradeoff between staying on fossil fuels and having to tighten-our-belts isn't relevant any more.
I don't disagree with the article but in these discussions I think one thing people generally miss is organizations optimize throughput at the organization level.

Extending a function to accept null, under dynamic typing, can break a program which depends on the documented behavior of that function having thrown an exception for that case.

(defun strlen (s)
(assert (stringp s))
(len s))

(defun map-len-test ()
(mapcar (lambda (arg)
(ignerr (strlen arg)))
'("abc" nil "defg")))

(pprinl (map-len-test))

(defun strlen (s)
(if (null s)
0
(len s)))

(pprinl (map-len-test))

Output:

(3 nil 4)
(3 0 4)

The caller had one idea of substituting a value in the null argument case. The function changed behavior, implementing a different idea.

Only in a statically typed language in which the call with nil is impossible, and which provides no dynamic access to the compiler, can we be 100% confident in saying that extending the function to support nil is a non-breaking change.

If the is impossible, then the function has no behavior for that case; a program invoking that case doesn't exist in a translated, executable form and so there is nothing to break as far as the program is concerned.

It's possible for another program to break: a compilation test case which validates that code which calls that function with nil cannot be compiled. If the language supports dynamic access to the compiler, then an application can be written which can behave differently due to the change: an application which dynamically compiles a call to the function and now gets a valid result (compiled code) rather than an error.

In the dynamic world, it's a non-breaking change for applications that wisely don't rely on exceptions being thrown on bad inputs, and instead handle those themselves.

If you're changing the function, you cannot know that is not the case; at beast you can decide not to care.

Not caring is not the same as knowing.

You can predict situations like crop failure - if you're an expert in agriculture and have access to data that impacts crop yields.

Some things, like weather and major political issues are easily obtained bits of information and are high-impact events. Data like satellite imaging of fields are available at a price and will tell an awful lot about what best-case production figures will be like. Lastly, insider information is around too - asking companies what they planted, sales data on seeds/fertilizer, etc. If a disease is hitting one company, it's probably hitting a lot of them, especially true with live stock.

People do pay for this information, and they use it to trade futures. Which is how it eventually gets "priced in."

Forecasting is a huge factor in a successful agriculture business. Which is part of why a lot of niche industries tend towards vertical integration - it's much easier to forecast demand when you produce a lot of derivative products. Buy your own stuff; if you planted a surplus then create new products / markets, if there's a shortage, cut production on lower profit items.
