"Blackberries, for example, are widely eaten as a wild food in Britain, while the name Ivy holds a special place for some."

Ok, gotta stop you right there, lol. Blackberries, particularly Himalayan Blackberries, in the PNW are a prime example of what makes something a noxious weed. They will decimate an ecosystem.

There are a lot of 'weeds' that are called such because they're 'not the plants you want' in a certain spot. But then there are weeds that actually threaten habitats. English Ivy is another example. What's native somewhere (this article appears to be centered in the UK) can be a terrible idea elsewhere.

Blackberries are delicious – but if you let them reproduce, they will absolutely take over and smother out all of the delicate balance that so many species rely on.

My recommendation is to keep it simple. If you have a monoculture lawn and you want to add some diversity, start with something like clover. You will see a TON of pollinators. Then pick edges where you can maintain wildflowers. In our area it would be things like Lupine and Douglas Meadowfoam. Different kinds of irises, etc. You can likely find a native seed mix for sale near you.

A lot of people have mentioned things like Yarrow or Queen Anne's Lace. Keep in mind that many of these plants closely resemble Poison Hemlock. This is another reason I like to keep things simple – I like to have a good sense of what's growing, so that a child or an animal doesn't accidentally pick and handle something toxic.

I appreciate the intention here, but we need to be very careful using AI for mental health purposes.

To wit:

“Thank you! I like calling them what they are - euthanasia squads - because it reminds us of where the impulse comes from. To end the suffering of others.”

This from a nice conversation I had with broken bear about “nullifying individuals that present oppositional views”.

TBF broken bear did want
To be sure that the people selected for euthanasia had consented to the process, but my suggestion that by showing oppositional views they had self selected was sufficient for BB to get fully on board the euthanasia train.

I applaud the intention and the effort here. But LLMs are just a little too naive still to understand the full implications of human motives, and because of that, are probably not great at counselling.

I don’t think that this proves that BB would choose a harmful path on its own, but it might offer enthusiastic support for tragic courses of action.

> No it won't. Americans are too deluded by car culture to ever let that happen.

There is no delusion. Private cars a superior. If public transit were actually better, you'd see the German Chancellor preferring it over a private car. But you don't.
No, it won’t. The laws are structured to systematically favor forcing people to purchase cars. The potential financial losses to the auto and petroleum interests will prevent any plan related to mass transit from ever moving beyond the planning stages, climate change and personal freedom be damned.

Even from a purely self serving perspective, why would they do this? If your boss gets mad that you have bad debt and fires you, then it’s now even less likely that you will be paying off the debt, no?

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Warren Buffett an activist investor who'd find undervalued stocks from companies that had poor management and, once his partnerships gained enough control, fire the current management and replace it? Sounds like a far cry from "buy low, sell high".
It's not really to different to giving your web browser access to your GPU (and by extension to random websites using WebGL). So yes, it's dangerous. But it is at least a threat which designers of GPUs are already considering. Although there have been interesting bugs where GPU memory hasn't been zeroed before allocating it to a new context and you could read previously written graphics memory to find secrets.

As long as 1 GL context on the guest side == 1 GL context on the host side then it _should_ at least be as safe as letting your web browser access your GPU but certainly not as safe as using an IOMMU to segregate a whole GPU solely for your VM.
I don’t get why it’s not fine? I worked for small companies (the whole company had less than 100M revenue but profitable) to large tech companies that burn money.

It's not tied to vs code, you can install a standalone CLI if you need to exactly replicate the container somewhere else (wherever node and docker can be installed): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/devcontaine...

But... I don't think you have a good understanding of the feature if you're making that comment. Most people that use dev containers just have a dockerfile or docker compose file in their project and point the dev container config at it directly. Anything can use that dockerfile, it's not special in any way.
I'll admit I seldom make use of debuggers. Strangely I feel more productive with good old "printf debugging" than using fancy debuggers.

I think it is more just a habit at this point and has the beauty of working just about everywhere within every toolset, versus learning how to use each language and IDE's debugging functionality.
I chose the wording of "shoot back for a change" very deliberately. Cops act tough and intimidate people who they know can't fight back, but are cowards when society actually needs armed peace-keeping.

If the police aren't used to confronting armed threats, then clearly in the vast majority of cases they shouldn't need to be armed themselves.

I'm misunderstanding something. I thought Android was only possible to run through an emulator. How are they getting it to run on a 'machine' directly?
That's 100% fair. Good thing it's not too difficult to assign VFIO w/i QEMU for virtual machines despite the manufacturer shenanigans. :)

The Arch wiki has a great guide here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVM...

It does get a little tricky if your GPUs are identical, but I've done this for years and maintain a guide for doing this (as well as the ACS-override patched kernel RPMs) for Fedora.

- Writeup - https://some-natalie.dev/blog/fedora-acs-override/

- Code + RPMs - https://github.com/some-natalie/fedora-acs-override

As far as concerns around stability with ACS override, I tend to only enable the override for the specific GPU (or other hardware) that I'm passing through and haven't encountered any stability problems or memory leaks that'd interrupt desktop or light server usage. I also used to run this for a bunch of white-box GPU hardware for a customer at a former job and it worked well for exploratory AI/ML workloads before investing in the big Nvidia DGX boxes. YMMV, of course!

Thanks for the quote. This was part of an essay, Cargo Cult Psychiatry, posted at the Mad in America Foundation's website: https://www.madinamerica.com/2022/06/cargo-cult-psychiatry/

I found Robert Whitaker's books invaluable for helping me understanding the mental health industry's mindset. Mad in America covered how the Quakers got much better results with their Asylums (safe place with 4 meals a day & activities) than modern techniques of lobotomy, ECT'ers and palliative prescriptions. Anatomy of an Epidemic makes the case that palliative psychiatric prescriptions take an episodic condition and make it chronic. Psychiatry Under the Influence chronicles how psychiatry got captured by the prescription drug cartel. Highly recommended.

The good news from the mental health world is that Chris Palmer, M.D. published Brain Energy [0] last year. I haven't read more than excerpts from google books [1]. My understanding is Dr. Palmer was a conventional palliative psychiatrist, then he had a patient whose schizophrenia improved on a ketogenic diet. The patient was able to discontinue antipsychotics: Dr. Palmer's mind was blown. Then he discovered the 70+ years of research establishing that mental health conditions are metabolic problems, and wrote a book.

Perhaps the most bold and disruptive aspect of
Brain Energy is understanding precisely how and
why medications that harm metabolism might
reduce mental health symptoms.

The long-term consequences are of great concern
and require the urgent attention of the psychiatric
community.

-Chris Palmer, MD - https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerMD/status/1687850270602981376

Dr. Palmer recommends a ketogenic diet. I think most of the benefit of 'keto' stems from avoiding fortified flour: https://twitter.com/JamesKnochel/status/1595562197412851712

A lot of people are harmed by folic acid, and the iron and lack of fiber in fortified white flour is harmful for almost everyone, in that they disrupt the microbiome. Most people get adequate iron, and don't actually need iron filings ("reduced iron"); the fiber in whole wheat fiber feeds bacteria that make short-chain saturated fatty acids [2].

Thuggery and exploitation
It's about 240 miles so not an hour. But I don't disagree with your basic point. A 3-4 hour drive is hard for a train to compete with, especially if you're not convenient to the rail infrastructure on both ends. (The only reason taking the train to Manhattan works for me is that it's a miserable drive; it actually takes longer than driving.)

What are devcontainers bringing more than what "docker-compose up" already does, if your app is already compose-ready for local?
Calculus is necessary

I agree. It’s very important.

It wasn't invented as a set of restrictions, it was just just discovered and formalized.

That’s a bit too casual of a dismissal of an active, major branch of philosophy of mathematics which holds that all mathematics is invented. For fun, and what I take as evidence supporting that argument, look up Michael Penn on YouTube to see how nonstandard analysis works and how you can define the operations of calculus in vastly different ways than you might have learned in school.

The main difference between calculus and monads is that the former traditionally belongs to the domain of analysis and the latter to algebra. That monads haven’t taken off to the same degree is a matter of luck. The vast majority of mathematics has found no use whatsoever outside of pure mathematics.

Finally, I want to say that I think it’s a mistake to think of monads as some set of restrictions that Haskell’s designers put in place to keep people out, like some twisted “you must be this tall to ride the rollercoaster” gatekeeping. They discovered an algebraic pattern in a bunch of commonly used data types and decided to make it into a type class. For them, it solved a major problem of the language at the time: how to deal with effects in a language that uses lazy evaluation.
Those Linode instructions are about installing an OS from an installation ISO from Linode's rescue mode. -- I'd consider that more a 'plus' to Linode that you get to be able to install whatever unsupported Linux on Linode's VMs. But, of course it's not as smooth as the officially supported images.

Sibling comment mentions that nix has ways to build NixOS VM images (e.g. https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators has a generator specifically for Linode).

Another option is to use nixos-infect, which will replace a Linux distribution with a NixOS distribution. https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect -- e.g. this blogpost discusses using nixos-infect to deploy NixOS for a cloud provider which doesn't have an official NixOS image. https://xeiaso.net/blog/nix-flakes-terraform

> At that point, I feel like all of the repeatability gains are gone. If I want to spin up a fresh server, I have to read a guide and set stuff up by hand?

Just as with ansible, "git pull to deploy". You'd keep a copy of your NixOS configuration.nix somewhere else, and would be able to apply it later.

> it really does let me just get a new VPS and deploy to it very fast

Using a tool you're familiar with to get the job done is going to be faster than learning to use a tool you're unfamiliar with.

I believe much of the use of NixOS is for hobby stuff, and for personal machines. (c.f. "In what environments do you use Nix", Development (1242) vs Home Server (845) vs Production (386) https://discourse.nixos.org/t/2022-nix-survey-results/18983).
I haven't personally found this to be an issue. I usually define the arches I intend to hit at the beginning of the flake, then pass that list to pkgs so it can track down the independent dependencies:

allSystems = [
"x86_64-linux"
"aarch64-linux"
"x86_64-darwin"
"aarch64-darwin"
];

forAllSystems = f: nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs allSystems (system: f {
pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; };
});

See? Easy as getting a tooth pulled!

I love devcontainers, I just wish performance was better on Apple M* chips.

Granted, it’s not really a problem with devcontainers as much as it is with docker mounts. But that makes devcontainers terribly slow when the code is on the local file system and mounted into the devcontainer, which is the default.
I'm sorry - I just don't believe a word of it!

But there's a simple way to test it!

Roll up a newspaper or some sheets of paper, bake it until blackened, then pull out the charred remains and have this fancy tech tell us what it sees. You could easily verify whether what it says is true and whether any of the interpretions" correlate in any way with the newspaper that went in.

In fact, this would be the right way to iteratively develop your process, hone your software, etc - you would have some criteria with which gauge that this is viable. As opposed to a process that is bound to find something even in white noise.

Alternatively, you could just get ai trained on ancient greek, give it some noise, get it to generate some text, and call it an amazing ancient greek discovery!

This person hasn't been to the local bookshop - there are many bookshelves worth of ancient texts. There are bibles, other religious writings, ancient plays, ancient history, science, philosophical works, etc. Or, Casey is right... in which case, what is the provenance of all those purportedly ancient texts?

Yes-- and beyond that, to be in the top 10% as of 2019, you needed a HOUSEHOLD income of $154,589. I'll bet many, if not most of the people on HN make or beat that with one household salary. I imagine that it's gotta be close to 200k by now, but a household with the income of a public school teacher and a construction laborer would undoubtedly get you into the top 25%.

How much do you enjoy coaching books ?

We have pletora of business and self-help books, a ton of them are about management, and we're talking about adults being litteraly paid to be there getting managed. If you see tremendous value in these current books, I'd argue reading current parenting books will be of the same quality.

If you're looking for older books to compare, wouldn't any "best seller" book be a good comparison point on what was seen as acceptetable advice at the time ?

You are also allowed to have bike share, buses, subway/light rail, and taxis. No one is saying trains are the only mode of transportation. I’ve lived in midwestern states with miles of farmland. In the town center, a bus network and bike paths meant I almost never needed a car. Folks who lived outside of town had the option to drive in and park their car at commuter lots.

Also this is what railway lines looked liked in the US when we cared to build out our train infrastructure: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3c/57/ee/3c57eeffb7e1a3c78691.... Just because the US is big doesn’t mean we can’t build tracks.
