I don’t know, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned explicitly in the guidelines but if you don’t want to risk your account I can understand.
Underlying assumption is that moderation is the issue, however it's addiction for those that can't quit. In layman's terms, the brain's chemistry has been altered permanently. This can happen for some even after the first use THC, opioids, alcohol and you name it.

Obviously the progression doesn't happen as fast for some. However, the key being they can't quit in moderation or in excess. Some can abstain for 3 months, some for six, thinking they don't have a problem but then find themselves using even a little. There's a self-rationalization as well as self-centeredness that's part of the disease process of addiction. I would say it's not only a disease process but it is a huge factor. Cross addiction substituting one substance for another is also part of that self-rationalization.
Wouldn’t solar, as an intermittent source, be well correlated with demand in Georgia?

Sun’s out = heavy AC load?

Doing any grid 100% solar needs a lot of storage, but there’s gotta be a perfect point that mostly shaves peaks really nicely.

(Yeah yeah, it can be cloudy and hot+humid, but still)
The default view is super zoomed out. The zoom itself is a bit .. fussy.

That said, it works, and is impressive all the same. Good work!
I didn't read that intent in his post. I don’t think anyone is pointing fingers at you.
So to power every home in the USA would roughly cost 3 trillion at these prices. if they reused the same teams and designs maybe they could get it somewhat cheaper. plus we have increasing renewable plus existing hydro and nuclear. for the price of a year or two of national debt we could go full renewable in this country.
Anytime I hear about Marijuana addiction I think of this (vulgar) scene from the Dave Chappelle movie "Half Baked":

Definitely some skepticism there!
Hey thanks! I like writing. This one took me a few days to write, but formed inchoately in the back of my head for years. Sometimes it's nice to finally just let the words spill out on "paper".
While I'm not an expert, it's probable some things directly cause addiction by modifying something in your brain, while others don't do it directly with the chemicals but by other means

The divide is probably clearer with non-drug addictions, like gambling. Gambling isn't some drug that modifies chemicals in your brain and makes you addicted, and yet some people are addicted to gambling.

It's possible some drugs function like gambling, where they don't actually modify chemicals in your brain to make you addicted, but you can get addicted anyways, psychologically
I knew this guy from before he was a major league crypto scammer. I assure you although part of this is actual lack of taste, he is quite conscious of how he looks and intentionally turns the tackiness and gaudiness up to 11 even beyond his own sensibilities. It is a filter, designed to screen out people who might have enough common sense the question the legitimacy of his claims.
What's that 'other' doing there?
> news to me that websites can so easily be coerced to fork over user data

I like how websites are special. Like no-one ever says "I am shocked that a hotel provided information to the police about a guest wanted for murder"
Agreed look at Jasper - a year ago the 600lb gorilla in the room and overnight their moat has dried up along with many of their customers.
LSD used incorrectly is an effective way to create insanity ;)
That's pretty untrue. Its just that nobody remembers the crackpots that achieve nothing.
Before reading the article I thought to my self NSO isn't allowed to be deployed against US citizens/infrastructure and sure enough the article says that NSO is on the Commerce Department blacklist.

Even though the repercussions should be massive for the gov doing business with this company, are they ever held accountable for anything anymore?
Sometimes or maybe even most of the time, but I've definitely had the experience where downloading a file for work is fast, but Netflix is hopelessly slow.
If not the SEC then who?

It took decades before Bernie Madoff's crimes came to light under SEC investigation (and then eventual criminal prosecution). Most of his victims had already lost their money and were never getting it back, even with the criminal suits they eventually joined that was mostly to show justice to Madoff not to recover lost funds.

From that perspective, 4 years is possibly a record in speediness for scams of this scale. (Cryptocurrencies sure have sped up the scams, but also seem to have greatly sped up the investigations into the spams, perhaps in a way that some will find ironic.)

The SEC can't protect all investors a priori (ahead of time). There's always going to be a long tail of investigations into past misdeeds and airing the dirty laundry. In theory the more dirty laundry the SEC can air from previous misdeeds the more it educates the public on things to look for and the more it assures would-be scammers that eventually they will be caught and will have to face the American justice system. (Whether or not you think the American justice system capable of doling out enough criminal charges that stick to these sorts of injustices, it is always still worth trying.)
Render is (a cheaper) Heroku + Netlify ;)
Most uses of LLMs for development that I've seen are for writing code, when the majority of dev time is spent reading code. What offerings exist to read through an existing codebase and ask questions of it? Do contemporary LLMs have enough lookbehind for that?
You're not going to find that in the consumer segment at all, the pressures are too great - even if you're going more upscale like Miele or Bosch.

If you want a fridge that lasts 50 years, go to the commercial segment instead. It'll cost a lot and likely isn't great for day-to-day use, but that's the best you'll get.
My interpretation is that physiologically addictive means actual physical changes, such as some receptor becoming downregulated and to feel something again you take the drug again. Whereas psychologically addictive could mean you need something for the identity you have or to cope with life experiences. For example I am physically addicted to nicotine but psychologically addicted to caffeine, I would describe it, since I get an actual craving for nicotine whereas caffeine well I like doing a lot of work and fitting into capitalism but I go weeks or months without thinking about it there's no mechanism in my body which tells me to take an energy drink although some people have it that way
I think we can agree that using a substance every waking moment is a major red flag.
Exacly that! I do the same. Accessing of internal resources hosted on LAN?
No problem, just make overlay VPN network.

Need to host something via HTTP? mod_proxy to the rescue.

IPv6 is junk protocol, overengineered. I hope IPv6 will be used for all those internet consumers and IPv4 will stay where its place to be, interesting R&D projects :)
Like alcohol. Heroin, however, will not kill you, but I doubt anyone argues that it is not addictive.
I found this [0] story (In Norwegian only, use your translation service of choice), where it is observed that a freezer cost 'several months' wages' for a worker, and that adoption didn't take off until down payment options were introduced in the early sixties.

Interestingly, I found another couple of historical prices on consumer electronics:

A 21" black-and-white TV set in 1960: NOK 2,200 (two months' gross wages)

Tandberg 1/4" reel-to-reel tape deck (Also 1960): NOK 880 (Just shy of a month's wages)

'Cheap' 26" colour TV, 1993: Three weeks' wages

VHS recorder, also 1993: Another three weeks' wages.

Sony Walkman, also 1993: A week and a half of wages.

It is ridiculous how prices have come down in later decades.

Stopping after smoking a lot can lead to trouble sleeping and nightmares. Certainly feels like a withdrawal when I wake up in a cold sweat.
So we could decarbonize the entire US power grid for what we spent on COVID relief/stimulus?

That seems like a good deal, even without economies of scale...
Microsoft store is already there

soon the move towards mass remote attestation will finally arrive and that'll be the only approved place to install software
The doxology is the bit at the end - everything after "evil" but before "amen".

As I understand it, it was added in a book of prayers that was popular amongst protestants. It's not in the bible.
Swales, basins, and bearms help with water management. I see a lot of that in the greenways in and around Phoenix. Just not at my neighborhood park.

There's a botanical garden an hour out of Phoenix metro that showcases edible Sonoran plants, as well as arid-adapted plants from around the world.

The native species do fine on raw, undeveloped lands.

I think it's because people confuse "desert" (or arid) with "wasteland".

And there are methods to remediate wastelands -- it just takes effort and time.
The graph notes "Moderates excluded."
>Look for federally legal hemp derived delta 9 products. They usually max out at 5 or 10mg per serving

So funny that that law didn't account for how edibles work. If you have a baked good (brownie, cookie, etc.) which weighs 100 grams, and it contains 29mg delta-9 THC, thats below the 0.3% legal threshold, and still a solid dose.

I always try to explain this to people, that the Republicans actually unwittingly legalized weed in 2017, but no one ever gets it. Fact is, delta-9 THC edibles are now federally legal (and can be ordered online) in all 50 states due to the Farm Bill loophole.
Stop making the chatbot do math.

And come on, you can sanity check those numbers.

"1 G is approximately equal to 22 miles/hour^2."

Think about this. That means it would take you an hour to reach 22mph.

The real speed you'll be going is 22 miles per second.

And sqrt(14753561838 / 132) is 10572, not 84331. That's not even close.

Also it used the Voyager 1 distance which is significantly different.

Once we fix all the numbers, each half of the trip is sqrt(20 billion km / 60m/s^2) which is a week. So two weeks total.

At 1G, each half is 16.4 days, so it takes a month total.
That would ruin the core samples
If I were to guess, the one of these that has by far the most impact is the Google featured snippets. There's constantly a tension between Google and online publishers about Google wanting to serve people answers quickly (with "on the search page" being the fastest version of that), but that not actually helping the publishers.

I couldn't agree more about the toxicity, though. I don't pretend to know much about who's right in the Stack Overflow vs. moderators debate, but every time I visit an answer on Stack Overflow and glance at the right sidebar I feel like a kid who's just walked in on his parents fighting. The tension between the company and the community is palpable and it makes the site feel like an icky place to be.
Had a node that I was connected to over wireguard. Wanted to reset the wireguard conf.

Nice one, mate. Had to drive back to log in and bring up that interface. I still do this, FWIW, but now I use `at` to schedule "up" 1 min in future haha. So far so good though it's not smart :)
How is providing a github url and having your site live and distributed via a global CDN with zero fuss not a leap forward?
Ideas Are Dimes a Dozen: Large Language Models for Idea Generation in Innovation
Many of those seem to be "you cannot do this legally codified activity unless you also fulfill the requirements enumerated therein". Can't sell food in retail setting without labeling it as required in the law that regulates food sales, and so on. That seems separate from compelling a creation of a false statement unrelated to business activity.
I do know several people who develop temporary or permanent paranoia from weed, so maybe that's where the pointy fingers are coming from...
> I can't reason as well or as quickly. Things go over my head. My working memory is so much smaller. I get lost in code all the time. I forget what I'm working on.

Is that while being high on THC, or being sober but having consumed lets say the day before?
I know. But I don't know where to start reading if I want to learn more about what's really going on
To add more details: it's just a .htaccess file with Parsedown (PHP Markdown parsing library) and a few helper functions that make it so any .md file in the "posts" folder can be accessed via the file name as the URL.

So you have

posts\
+|---LK-99-superconductor.md
+|---twitter-rebrands-to-x.md

And you can access them directly like "site.com/blog/LK-99-superconductor".

This means that:

1. You write directly md, no compilation/transpilation needed.
2. There is no database, posts are stored directly as files.
3. You can edit the files directly on the server (or FTP upload them) and the changes are visible instantly
4. You can customize the PHP rendering the blog post page HTML to your liking using whatever front-end HTML/CSS/JS you want.
I don’t know, but new nuclear projects in the West tend to be extremely late and over budget even with friendly regulators.

Olkiluoto 3 in Finland is a Gen 3 reactor that just came online earlier this year. Its original target date was 2010. The original budget was 3 billion euros, but the final cost was over 11 billion.

The project was of great national importance because this single unit provides around 14% of power to the country, and the Finnish nuclear power regulator was extremely motivated to make it happen. So the delays and cost overruns were not due to red tape.
> I've never written an rc script

Not trying to "RTFM" you but https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rc contains a nice minimal example script for anyone who's curious.
One project in 30 years doesn't benefit from economies of scale. Nuclear is the only hope we have to make up for the gaps in generation for solar and wind. Solar and Wind should be used whenever possible, but they are not 100% of our solution mix, even if they are the majority.

If we want to mitigate the impact of climate change, we need to invest in decreasing Nuclear costs and building many more plants in the US.
Depends... I have a beef with all methods based on "trained quantization". It introduces too much noise in your distribution, suffers from drifts, and makes the method mostly inapplicable for other forms of "Similarity Search" that don't strictly fall into the "Vector Search" category.

Many disagree. Pick whatever rocks your boat, there is a FOSS library for almost everything these days :)
>There is a value in using native browser bookmarks and syncing them cross browsers/OS's.

Don't most browsers do this automatically WITHOUT a third party app? Firefox and Chrome both sync bookmarks across devices. What is the usecase for a third party bookmark syncer in that case?

Shiori acts both as an archiver as well as bookmark saver. My bookmarks are ...cluttered otherwise. I have a OneTab page with over 37000 'tabs' saved.
It's clearly less damaging and chemically addictive than alcohol or whatever, but I wouldn't necessarily equate it with collecting Pokemon. I had a roommate who'd been persistently stoned for probably 30 years. A girlfriend convinced him to only use it on a few evenings a week, and he quickly realized that he'd entirely lost the ability to handle urgent negative emotions-- anger, frustration, disappointment, etc. He was still a great guy, but man did that put him through the ringer.

Normally steadfastly mellow, one day I heard him stomping up the stairs to our apartment, then stomped into the living room, looked at me and exasperatedly said "THE WHOLE WORLD IS STUPID. EVERYBODY IS STUPID. EVERYBODY SUCKS" and then went into his room, slammed the door, and literally screamed at the top of his lungs 4 or 5 times. About half an hour later, he came out, apologized and said he got blocked for maybe 45 seconds taking a left into our driveway because someone who'd stopped at the traffic light right there either rudely or obliviously didn't leave an opening, which pushed him right over the edge. I knew what he was going through, and knew he was talking to a therapist about it, so I wasn't worried for him... but I sure felt bad for him!
It originally being pirated or not would not come into play if its a copyright violation or not. Its a violation if it's 1:1 and billed as such, otherwise its a parody or inspired by
YouTube TV is a cable replacement service and costs around $70/mo last I checked. It has all the network and local tv channels as well as the usual hbo/showtime/espn/etc packages for an added cost. TV guide, DVR, multiple streams, etc.
It wouldn't be a contradiction to live in a country where most productive enterprises were owned by the state, but where individuals still had great economic freedom.

There is a big difference between governments owning things vs. exclusions to citizens owning things.
I could replace "everyone knows" with "it's common sense"
> This is such a boogeyman. Total amount of drug ingested is quantity times potency. Old school people made up the low potency with quantity. What is more though, there always was high potency strains available (just not as prevalent today). Thai sticks, hash oils, they have been around for a long time. So, the high potency stuff has been around, that is not new, and most people compensate for the high potency by ingesting less.

My supply back when I used to smoke was limited to “what my dealer had available.” There may have been better strains available, but I sure couldn’t get my hands on them. There’s also an issue of “minimum viable dose” - provided you have sufficient time and determination, you can get just as high with shitty weed as you can with the good stuff, but it’s an awful lot harder to get only as high with the good stuff as you did with the shitty stuff. I am pro-legalization and anti-drug war, but I hear this bromide about the enormously increased availability of high-potency THC products not leading people to consume more and I just wonder what world y’all are living on.
What an unfortunate typo (would fit the late SCO much better...)

[about SCO] "Started by a father/con team Larry and Doug Michels" :)

Good to see that maddog's still around and interesting to read his opinion.
Of course (well, there's some arguments to be made here with regard to prescribed drugs, but let's leave them aside for the minute). The only gripe I was addressing here was the idea that denial = guilt.
In all fairness, not all activities have the dopaminergic response of gambling.
If reliability is a true concern, then go commercial.

If not, spend weeks researching. Cross reference text and video reviews from many sources, look into the technologies manufacturers use, look at feedback from people working in the repair industry, etc.

Then, maybe you can get something a bit better than average. At the very least you'll avoid the true lemons.
That's what guerrilla gardners do with their seedbombs do as well. (Not necessarily the hydroseeding, but rather, a selection of native species).
Why's that?

I think the only time I sshd to that server was last week when I added usb device monitoring and had to docker pull & & docker up -d.

Other than that... Can't remember dealing with the "monitoring stack".
Except the #1 thing you are washing off is the natural oils from human skin and sweat.

And #2 and #3 are the oils in food (chocolate, grease, wine, and other food products) and then the oils from grass / outdoors.

Literally the only thing that water helps with is soil / dirt. Outside of that, the washing machine should be designed to use the minimum amount of water needed to activate the soap, the actual cleaner.
I'm addicted to weed and do a lot of mushrooms as well. Never felt the urge to stop weed after a trip. As with all addictions, but especially weed, the only way to stop is to want to. The only really bad thing about quitting is the boredom from not being high. I've quite a dozen times myself, going upwards of a year sober, but I'm much less happy afterwards.
Well, this sort of problem is typically handled by stuff like what is know as “scaffolding” in the Ruby on Rails world, and doubtless has other names. It’s about generating a “resource” and its CRUD stuff according to some agreed upon standards one can define, etc
I don't think there's any historical basis for this claim. More strongly worded: the history of limited human consumption is literally orders of magnitude longer than the history of nuclear power, much less the history of industrial spaceflight.
Neat idea, but distilling everything into left vs right bias, is itself poinless bias. What should matter is how often and ingrained a bias is, not a dumbed down estimate of the american political party it may be associated with. I also see some questionable assertions against a few outlets, that I wont name. But try putting in a few good and bad news outlets and see if you think this is accurate.
I wrote a small script to load Hamurrabi.bas onto my Apple-1 replica over serial and to play against it interactively, as a sort of screensaver.

Though I played this as a kid, I learned some interesting anti-mechanics by writing an "automatic player", that I can still get the highest rating by systemically starving 3% of the population each year, and that there is no need to leave any food in store for the successor after your final turn, and that losing half of the population to plague is actually in your favor.
He very much took advantage of the adage, "a fool and his money are soon parted". On some level I can't even blame him. People are literally sending hundreds/ thousands of dollars in eth to people that just list an address and give vague mention of getting something valuable back. He probably figured, why not me?
He could have just moved to Russia and have been fine. SEC frowns upon blatant scams though.
Personally I don't think it's a meaningful distinction. You can engage primarily with topics on Twitter and Facebook (hashtags, pages, etc), and you can engage primarily with people on HN and Reddit (by mostly hanging out in the comments). Reddit in particular falls squarely in the social media camp to me, and while HN is maybe more topic-focused again (self-posts are less common), it is a matter of degree.

I think any site that people use primarily to interact with others (in public, I guess) is arguably social media. (Looking forward to being savaged by HN pedants looking to reduce that definition to absurdity.)
Also Chrome desktop
"that add signature requirements to public APIs to reduce bot and spam load" Hmm? Are you talking about AUTHORIZED_FETCH? That's specifically an opt-in (and discouraged) feature that's meant to reduce the possibility of blocked instances retrieving your posts and displaying/replying to them on their own servers, it has nothing to do with bot or spam load.

"This isn't in the spec as a mandatory requirement, but if you don't do it then parts of the Fediverse won't be able to follow you."

I don't think this is true even when using AUTHORIZED_FETCH, Mastodon still displays the minimum set of Actor information necessary to complete a follow request (public key, username, etc), so I don't really know what this part of the post might be referring to.
Where? Saying something like this should be accompanied with proof
EV’s have a fairly trivial impact on the grid. Cars last 25+ years so even if everyone all new cars where EV’s we are talking less than 1% increase in total electricity demand per year. The grid has expanded dramatically faster at several points.

Even more importantly we can shift most of that demand to cheaper times of the day or even day of the week.
