I’ve heard the effects of psilocybin described as (roughly) increasing neuroplasticity for a time, thus allowing changes that would be significantly harder to accomplish otherwise.

But I don’t think unguided trips would automatically have this effect if you don’t already have the necessary tools/frameworks going in.

If doctors create the term "heart attack" and laypeople misuse it, that doesn't change the definition.
That’s where I first read it! Very interesting analogy.

The automatic title mangling somewhat hides that the author intends it to be an analogy only, not an identity.
> Build for resiliency and designed to fail safely

This is important, but I'm not sure everybody necessarily agrees on what "fail safely" means.

Fail safely can mean one of:

- It doesn't fail silently

- It doesn't cause cascading failures

- It doesn't cause infinite failure loops

- It doesn't fail in ways that corrupt data

- It doesn't fail in ways you lose money

- You can safely retry

- You can safely retry anytime (not just today, or just this month)
If you install from PyPi default repository - it comes precompiled, but can still be ad-hoc accelerated with JIT-ed metrics. Either way, it should have decent performance. Still, if you wanna push the limits and work with Multi-Terabyte indexes on one node - recompiling locally should help.

This is not a truth universally acknowledged.
> It's always "closed as dupe but not really a dupe and I got downvoted for asking a legitimate question". But 99% of the times it was really a dupe, or a poorly worded question, or something strictly off topic.

Exactly. Multiple times on HN, someone has said something along the lines of that myself. Whenever I've seen it, I've asked for a link to the question that it happened to so I can confirm it myself. Nobody has ever provided such a link.
The existence of invasive species make even that plan questionable. A lot of trees are dead because of invasives that are still, so even if you plant it, it will die again.

There are a lot of trees and invasives. Sometimes if we plant trees and give them a few years of active removal of the invasives they will grow strong enough to out compete the invasive, but if you don't remove the invasive they will be chocked out and die. However only sometimes.
I'm sure this has been posted before, so re-posting as it's still a fantastic list
I think for many people “Bug” can imply something that crawled in from outside and messed up the system, “defect” implies that there was an avoidable deficiency in the specification or the implementation. The engineering mindset might prefer “defect” since it implies that we can fix the process and improve the quality of future products, whereas “bug” implies these things are just a fact of life and you can’t expect to eliminate them
I smoked a lot of weed daily (~1gram/day) for almost 10 years. Finally got sick of this life and decided to quit, once I run out of it. First day I was pissed and then I was cured. I always thought that I'm addicted and it will be almost impossible to stop, but turned out I wasn't really addicted.
>Most people don't know about Delta-9 yet.

Delta 9 is the long-known active ingredient in regular marijuana. You're thinking of delta 8, which is a new isolate.

This is kind of my point though. When I talk about this stuff, people assume I just mean delta 8, or CBD or whatever. Nope. Straight up delta 9 edibles are 100% federally legal now.
Or, since the original intended sense was "smuggler of blades", within the world in the movie "blade runner" could be interpreted as "smuggler of death in the underworld of the replicants".

(With the dark irony that the original was meant to be "smuggling equipment to heal the needy", re-applied to a context of "bringing death to the desperate".)
I want to thank you for sharing this story. I've struggled with my own THC addiction, using it as a crutch for trauma and anxiety, but your comment helped me realize that, like your roommate, the addiction has wrecked my ability to (responsibly and maturely) process negative situations. Enduring those situations is one thing, but seeing how they're connected to other parts of a more complete life is different.

Sometimes it helps to see it described by someone else before you really see what you, yourself are in.

Thanks again for helping a stranger connect some dots. You've given me more to think about in my approach to kick this habit.
The figure I've found is 2800 km^3 of approximately granite, which at 2.7 tonnes per cubic meter gives about a billion gigatons ejecta.

I've never found a CO2 estimate, but did find that it's a significant amount of that mass, as is SO2.

It wasn't worth me doing more of a sketch since it's not clear how to model the effects of such a massive system.

I was struck tho, that the magnitude of this and a few other events in the not too distant past, are vastly larger than even all put nuclear war

It's not clear to me that our CO2 emissions are very significant in comparison
Aside from the over-generalizations, psilocybin is a potent psychoactive substance. While it might not be "addictive" in the classic sense, it can lead to intense, sometimes challenging, psychological experiences. These experiences can be traumatic for some individuals, especially without proper guidance or in unsupportive settings.
There’s a number of things missing:

- This poll doesn’t do constituency breakdown

- How many of those people would actually vote?

- Do they know what rejoining entails?

- There is no campaign on rejoin

- In such a campaign, the Brexit media will absolutely spell out how hard rejoining actually is

- Only 17% of people actually think this is important

- The EU still wouldn’t re-admit the UK because nearly half the fucking country still wants to be out!

Speaking of referendums:

> To rejoin would most likely be the same.

No, to rejoin, first you elect a party that either campaigns on rejoin or to hold a referendum. Both are guaranteed vote-losers because of what I posted above: 83% of the country doesn’t want to reopen the Brexit discussion. In addition, with the UK’s voting system, you can have 55% support your position and hand an 80-seat majority to the 45% who oppose.

> And it turns out that the result is even more lopsided in thinking Brexit was mistake

This is simply a garbage poll and doesn’t back up your claim at all. “Do you regret” is not the same as “should we rejoin.”

Let’s go back to the core issue: in the best case, half the country wants to stay out the EU. That is NOT “politically settled” in any sense of the term. Until that changes, with all major parties supporting rejoin, actually rejoining is total fantasy politics.
> 99% of the times it was really a dupe

I agree that sometimes it was really a dupe. Or even that most of the time it's a dupe. But when the answer was written in 2011 with the latest update in 2017, maybe it's worth reopening the question because there's probably a better answer in the last 6 years.
> The only reason Voyagers are traveling so fast is we were very lucky at the time

“Lucky”, only in the sense that (1) completing a large government project on time, and (2) not having some kind of disaster (particularly, at launch) screw up the mission require a certain degree of luck of luck on top of planning and execution (though, not relying completely on that luck is also why there were two Voyagers): we got all the gravity boosts because the mission was planned around an alignment that enabled it to do that and visiting each of the outer planets (which was really the main goal; the beyond the solar system part was gravy.)
I think a lot of it is because unlike Linux, FreeBSD is a not just a kernel, but an entire OS, with a kernel, utilities, compilers, and a package manager. There have been different distros (PC-BSD, debian kfreebsd, etc), but I think the "default" upstream distro has most of what's needed.

And there are likely "distros" that you don't see. Eg, we run our own private "distro" on the CDN at Netflix, which is basically upstream FreeBSD + some kernel patches queued for upstreaming + a limited number of ports + some netflix specific stuff. I imagine other companies using FreeBSD (NetApp, Sony, etc) also have their own private distros.
The whole New England/juicy/hazy IPA space has been the "fad" for so long that the fad cycle almost doesn't seem to exist anymore.

I learned a lot about programming by taking this book and, since I didn't own a computer, figuring out how the code could produce the example listing. That's where I learned things like, to swap the values of two variables, you copy one to a third variable temporarily. I learned a ton of patterns like that.

Eventually I got my VIC-20, then an Apple ][, then an Amiga.

A Tesla megapack holds 3MWh and is warranted for 15years. If you use the entire capacity daily for duck curve shifting and it dies the day after its warranty runs out, (3MWh * 365 * 15), that's 16 TWh. A megapack costs $1.8M, for a cost of 11 cents per kWh. That's cheaper than the fully loaded cost of Vogtle.

But of course you don't have store every kWh used. Peak demand in the summer is caused by A/C and corresponds closely with peak solar generation and can be used directly. New solar farms have a cost of about 0.5cents per kWh, but we'll use 1cent per kWh to be generous. So if you use 3/4 of your power directly and shift 1/4 you end up with an average cost of 0.751c + 0.25(11+1) = 2.75 cents.

And those costs aren't theoretical. For a concrete example, the 8minute energy Eland project proves 24h battery+solar energy for under 4 cents per kWh.
it doesn't really work that way, unfortunately invasives can take root and replace entire forests before native plants can take root. it's a huge problem in post-wildfire areas.
> Only time will tell whether the inevitable evolution of intellectual property law to account for AI tools favors individual artists or large tech corporations.

Definitely tech corporations. I'd be careful placing my hopes on copyright.

You know there's a lot of public domain out there, as well as permissively licensed images, right?

So here's my future prediction:

1. If forced, AI companies will prune their datasets of anything not permissively licensed.

2. They'll start friendly community initiatives to fill in the holes. Just like Wikipedia has requests for pictures, so can AI.

3. There's probably going to be more interest in doing more with less, and in training AI on AI output.

Given that AI output is deemed non-copyrightable, the end result is a vast amount of public domain pictures, which can be freely used without paying anyone.

Think it's unlikely? I think it'd very likely based on what happened with the software industry. The industry heavily encouraged Open Source as opposed to Free Software, and as a result today you can easily run a business with zero licensing concerns or payment to anyone.

And once you're there, there's no taking this back. There's not once in my life that I've thought "You know, it's nice that GCC and Clang are free, but I really feel like paying big bucks for a compiler".
So, until Oct/15, some poor planet with intelligent life in our galaxy will be thinking that an alien civilization is trying to make contact.
> Instead, you head over to Reddit where the programming community is much nicer

> You can even go to ChatGPT, where it’ll give you a confidently wrong answer that looks so correct that you’ll spend another 7 hours debugging

I'm quite perplexed by this same talking point being regurgitated. These LLMs do indeed hallucinate. But I've found, with coding problems, that it's very easy to see it's wrong if you're working in a domain you're familiar with. I am doing a lot of react development with chatgpt(gpt4) as a kind of intern-on-steroids and it's working really well. I can usually identify when it's being silly as I've worked with react for a few years. Ofc without that it's hard. But even if I'm in unfamiliar territory I can ask it to write tests to confirm its code works. I can also hand it stack-traces and it'll usually be very helpful at debugging its own code.

An e.g. I am not competent at shell stuff but it's been such a boon at helping me hack and pipe stuff together. Actually two days ago I wanted to generate a big bird's eye grid of a huge PDF document. I had no idea how to and asked it point-blank to write some code. Within a couple messages it generated a python script w/ PIL and a pdf2image imports and shell commands to get things installed and $PATH properly configured. One cycle of debugging because I was missing a dependency, and boom, done. Took me 5 mins. Would have taken 30mins or more otherwise (and a tonne of pointless cognition/research/rabbit-holes).
>The thing that I don't understand is that I thought "normal" marijuana always needed to be heated anyway

I can confirm, as I had a rather disappointing failure (many years ago) in making some edibles when they didn't get hot enough for decarboxylation when I was using marijuana that I knew to be of excellent quality.
Apparently it's estimated there's about 3 trillion trees on earth currently - I'm assuming it historically may have been closer to 4 or even 5 before we gleefully started chopping them all down. But it's hard to imagine a trillion extra trees being compatible with 10 billion humans wanting to have land to produce food with, unless we can genetically engineer trees capable of growing in parts of world humans tend to avoid.
It was funny last year when Minnesota set a limit of 5mg/serving and 50mg/package. All this stuff in the news about MN legalizing edibles, but they just put a limit on potency of products that were already sold there. And now you can get cans of seltzer that have 10mg and call it 2 servings.

Over millions of years. If the soil the trees need has washed away they won't grow anytime soon. Some places you can plant a native tree and it will grow. Other places something is lost and it won't grow anymore. Places can be very tiny areas in the case of a desert.

Nah, it's HDCP that's cracked. You can grab HDCP strippers (or rather, "splitters"/"signal multiplexers" that happen to strip HDCP) for cheap on alibaba and the likes. From there, all you need is a HDMI framegrabber or if you want the best possible quality, an SDI converter and a BlackMagic Decklink SDI capture card. That's a few hundred bucks.

All roads lead to rome right. But the brain doesn't have to be the first busstop. One avenue is via the gut, bacteria screaming for unhealthy food. Or just the old ghrelin, hunger hormone.

But on a more analytical approach, I just don't agree with your premise. There's a stark difference between the brains lowlevel mechanics such as serotonin receptor downregulation all the way to buying the brand in the supermarket that reminds you of your childhood. What I mean is it's not a mind-body dualism problem, rather, it's a scale problem. Does the mechanism that drives you to behave consist of individual molecules or cells, or unfathomably complex dynamic patterns of neurons firing across every region of your brain that constitute almost a religious reminder of who you are and what you desire. What I'm saying is is it the hardware or the software. That's physiological vs psychological. But if you wish you can turn any topic in the world into metaphysical philosophy, I just think we have a lot of textbooks in any hospital university library already on these topics that don't bring philosophy into it.

The average age of cars on the road in the US is 12 years. There aren't many 100 year old cars skewing the average, so that implies that most cars last over 24 years.
That's because the loophole doesn't exist. It's an obviously flawed interpretation of the 2018 Farm Bill which isn't likely to hold up in court when it's finally tested there.

https://ondrugs.substack.com/p/delta-9-thc-gummies

The prefatory text to Schedule I(c) of the Controlled Substances Act removes all doubt: “[u]nless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation, which contains any quantity of the following hallucinogenic substances” is a Schedule I substance.

A 12 mg THC extract infused into a 4-gram gummy consisting of non-cannabis isn’t a “hemp” gummy. It is a “material,” “mixture,” or “preparation” containing “marihuana,” which is a Schedule I controlled substance.

Relearning old lessons.

Oils from plants in nature are super helpful, when used correctly!

(Hint: if you're a medicinal user in any form, probably best to stop lighting shit on fire)
Nah, SO is really toxic. There are plenty of examples and probably dozens of blog posts illustrating it. It took two seconds to find two of MANY meta posts [0][1]. In fact one answer to the posts here illustrates what looks like at least a dozen similar posts. ChatGPT is just hastening an already well deserved death. I have not heard a positive opinion about SO in my professional network in years. Everyone passively consumes SO but a community built on contribution can't live on passive consumption. If the community is so high huffing it's own farts it drives away the exact thing it needs there's no good end for it.

>Degree or not, success in today's environment is highly dependent on personal initiative.

This is the one thing we agree with. Now, I don't know the true solution here, but I will admit that even if I didn't end up in my degree's career that college was at least a good stepping stone to learning how to learn. I simply approach stuff differently in college compared to high school.

Maybe that speaks to how ill high school prepares students for the real world, but at the same time it isn't exactly wise to go 0-100 in living in a parent's supervision to trying to make a living at 18 year old with nothing to your name but a high school diploma. Not even direction in life, for some people. I feel we need some intermediary here where you can break off into independence without also worrying about next month's rent when the month prior you weren't even allowed to consent to many life factors.

And I say this with a family history where my parents, and their siblings were all more or less kicked out at 18 to join the military. Don't know if THAT is the path I'd recommend to the current youth either.
