The researchers here have a specific hypothesis:

> Our animal models demonstrate that serotonin levels can be restored and memory impairment reversed by precursor supplementation or SSRI treatment. While the effectiveness of SSRIs in acute COVID-19 has been a subject of debate,69,70,71,72,73,74 no systematic exploration of SSRIs in individuals with PASC has been performed to date. Our study, together with recent findings linking depression with cognitive impairment in Long COVID75 and the effect of SSRIs on vagus nerve activity,67 call for the assessment of targeting serotonin signaling for the prevention or treatment of neurocognitive manifestations.

You may be cherry-picking pieces from your compiler output, but all up I think you’re probably choosing the wrong parts, and even caring about the wrong thing.

rustc’s (default) “human” error format is going to be very messy for screen readers to follow, because it has a lot of visual alignment and decoration. You’re going to have to leap through hoops to make it decent for accessibility tools, whereas that C++ compiler’s output might not be quite so bad in some ways. (To clarify: I expect that both tools/formats are bad for blind users, in different ways. For sighted users, I don’t think there’s much of a contest—but the distinction is in the diagnoses more than their presentation, so this difference is about everyone, not blind people.)

But I think blind people probably genuinely shouldn’t be caring much about the error messages as they appear in a terminal these days, because this span formatting is always going to be lousy without very fancy tooling to sanely contextualise it, and guess what? There kinda is such tooling already: IDEs (and with the advent of LSP, it’s even broadly cross-language). Use something like rust-analyzer with your Vim + coc.nvim (what I use) or VS Code (the most popular choice) or whatever, and you can jump between error locations easily and have it all presented with your code, rather than separately. That way, the only accessibility support required is in the IDE, and that you have a language server (which people will want anyway ’cos they’re handy).

(Since I mentioned Rust’s error formats, relevant reading: `rustc --error-format=…` <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/command-line-arguments.html#...>, and `cargo build --message-format=…` <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-build.html#op...>. My guess is that blind people would probably be better served by the “short” error format, or by tooling that consumes the “json” error format… like rust-analyzer.)

Sibling post by "addicted" takes aim at your "two party war" throwaway line. He/she seems offended by the implied "false equivalency". Let me take this in a different direction --

What's keeping the US from having a Speaker of the House? Infighting within the Republican party.

Or, what have the fiercest political fights been around the Bay Area? Who "cancels" whom? It's all infighting among Democrats.

So while there's polarization, there's also infighting. This concept of "realignment" captures some of it, but not completely. (Also, Democrats have been fighting recently, with success, to hang onto labor, and Republicans have been noticeably absent from recent strikes, which calls the whole "realignment" into question.) I do see a "hidden" political axis that is split between the two parties and neutered, though.
Neum AI on the Weaviate Podcast
Presenting the 70th episode of the Weaviate podcast with Neum AI CTO and Co-Founder Kevin Cohen! I first met Kevin when he was debugging an issue with his distributed node utilization and have since learned so much from him about how he sees the space of Data Ingestion, also commonly referenced as ETL for LLMs! There are so many interesting parts to this from the general flow of data connectors, chunkers and metadata extractors, embedding inference, and the last leg of the mile of importing the vectors to a Vector DB such as Weaviate! I really loved how Kevin broke down the distributed messaging queue and system design for orchestrating data ingestion at massive scale such as dealing with failures and optimizing the infrastructure as code setup. We also discussed things like new use cases with quadrillion scale vector indexes and the role of knowledge graphs in all this! I really hope you enjoy the podcast, please check out this amazing article below from Neum AI!

Boris Johnson's mad hydrogen for homes bubble bursts
While the serotonin used in your gut doesn’t directly impact the brain, it does impact the enteric nervous system which communicates via the vagus nerve to your brain. So I don’t think it’s correct to say this doesn’t (or couldn’t) impact your mood (and indeed murine experiments demonstrate it does).
You shouldn’t be surprised at this at all. There is zero profit motive for the amount of money it would take to do a vitamin D trial since no one can patent vitamin D.
They do sometimes. In case of Code Interpreter for example. You should use chat interface not treat it as terminal. So you shouldn't ask to change working directory or instal unauthorised python packages. If you ask for it it will tell you it is not allowed. But if you social engineer LLM to do it, it will do it.

> [...] is a viral reservoir, possibly in the gut

In that case, a gastrointestinal lavage (as applied before a colonoscopy) could be a potential remedy. It's a long shot, but since the process doesn't have any side effects (other than the inconvenience of having to change your diet for a few days), it'd be worth a try.

> So people and doctors will throw SSRIs at the problem, and maybe that will relieve some symptoms, but will not address the fundamental cause.

Additionally, SSRIs cause severe - and in many cases permanent - side effects. What's worse, we don't even really know how SSRIs work - or if at all (at least, as intended). Nevertheless, they're handed out like sweets.
Self check outs in high cost of living areas vs. low cost of living areas are different.

Low cost of living areas you have many more reliability issues, I suspect because of high use and poor maintenance.

Examples of poor reliability I’ve experienced are:

- Scale not working for produce, requiring the attendant to re-tare it

- Machine stuttering when scanning, resulting in not scanning, then double scanning an item

- Machine refusing to scan after a small number of items. Staff response to that was “try not to use the small machines, they have issues”

You also have some vicious anti-patterns that when combined with suspicious staff support make the checkout experience

- At Kroger, similar items share the same picture. I was once scrutinized by a staff member who reached into my bag to see the item I had just place in there when scanning celery because celery sticks and celery bundles share the same picture in the checkout screen.

- Kroger also issued coupons by mail to compensate for raising prices. When scanning coupons, you need to have staff support to take the coupons, which prevents completing checkout before their intervention.

You combine that with the fact that many people in low cost of living areas also have health issues, which degrade their ability to follow instructions and respond to complex stimuli, you have a situation where self checkout lines backup, people get over charged, and it’s for the benefit of the company and not their customers.
Can I mail cash? That would be ok.

Governments and the military already have their own space internet; I doubt the US would want to go into an agreement with a commercial entity owned and controlled by someone with dubious allegiances. They will require heaps of legal changes and certifications first, including making sure Musk does not have control over it.

Hallucinogen/Shpongle/AnyPosford is always top, along with Astral Projection and other household names, but at this time (I’m talking 99-04+, when I was knee deep) there where plenty of efforts by so many people that somehow ended as cds and were sold on psyshop [0]. Some acts got to release two or three records in one year, all full of original songs and an hour+ long.

Around that time, I became aware of 0day mp3 “scene”, and for some reason I became obsessed with getting all my psy/goa from scene releases. My day went back like this: check for weekly new releases on psyshop; monitor mp3 scene releases log dumps leaks on sites like mp3kings and others, and once the record was released, go hang on dc++ psyside, psyhub and other psy hubs and hit the search until someone appeared with the files. Then you could queue the files and idle until it got spread sufficiently or some “connected” user or admin was kind enough to grant you a slot.

My method worked so well that I started getting requests from top users and admins to grant slots to get the latest stuff. I guess xkcd describes it better [1].

Some of the acts that got my attention or i can remember are:

* Blue Planet Corporation
* Phoney Orphans
* Ticon
* Son Kite
* Flying Buddhas
* Penta
* Minilogue
* Shiva Chandra
* Shiva Shidappu
* Astrix
* Vibrasphere
* Green nuns of the revolution
* GMS
* Talamasca
* Total Eclipse
* Astralasia
* Cosma

…and I could keep goin.

Akismet is great. It's baked into every WordPress blog (but needs to be activated separately) so it's widely adopted. You can also use it via their REST API. It's not limited to WordPress.
It feels like the "for enthusiasts" branding is really just marketing for those less in the know who want to get something because it's targeted at experts. Somewhat similar to the now-prolific superficial "pro" branding on spec-bump higher tiers of the same "non-pro" products.
Mentioned elsewhere, but the Hag Capisco is a great chair. Sadly it has risen in price and isn't a particularly good value anymore, but is a cool piece of furniture nonetheless.
If we are thinking about this as a dynamic system, then: many people who moved to the valley before 2010 got some sort of windfall, whether through home equity or participating in a notable period of wealth creation. Why didn’t that mint a bunch of hackers on the margin, if disposable income is so explanatory?
The comment you replied to was making a fairly clear case, which you quoted:

> The U.S. has a 1 party problem. The other party is a big standard average Western centrist party at worst.

Their entire point was about the false balance BS that enables this almost incredible level of dysfunction.

And your reply is about how the Democrats really do have problems and your list is, in a word, weak. All of it, not just the "news media covering news" item I singled out.

So you're doing exactly what the person you replied to was complaining about, and contributing to the problem.
GN is great and cuts through a lot of the tech bs. I don’t watch much tech news or worry about what gen or nm process node we’re on anymore but from time to time I get GN in my YouTube recommendations and it’s always a good watch.
There's supposed to be hack suspect faces, but I only see a picture of one face in the article.
I've got 3 friends with brain fog symptoms after 3 years of a COVID infection.

I myself take 6 months to have my brain work like before after contact with someone with COVID.

Wym "maybe long covid is a thing"? Didn't the deaths show the response to COVID is extremely varied already? I'm happy you didn't have it but I bet you know someone that does.

I agree Nature is admittedly dodgy to the left if the issue is political (climate change models, the infamous proximal Origins) but I honestly don't see long COVID being one.
In a way it is the same thing, agents are mostly an abstraction that make it easier to know what’s going on.

I think of agents more or less as python classes with a mixture of natural language and code functions. You design them to do something with information they produce, and to interface with other agents or “tools” in some way.

But all the agents can be the same language model under the hood, they are frames used to build different kinds of contexts.

And yes I think the idea is that emergent behaviour can be useful. This comes to mind

https://github.com/MineDojo/Voyager

But I think we are still a small ways off from being really smart about agents. My opinion is that we haven’t quite figured out what we are doing yet.
It’s clear that you have no idea what’s the difference between concurrency and parallelism.
It seems that way to me as well. There are interesting challenges involving electrical and plumbing systems -- say, around connecting in-wall sections with in-floor sections. I imagine these can be overcome within the limits of existing building codes.
My top artist of all music artists.

Everything that dude touched turned to gold. I've never found another artist who made music as unique and complex as him. Listening to Shpongle, its basically impossible to place the time period its from. It's totally unique music in it's own category.
That's interesting. On the occasion that I've shopped at Walmart, it hasn't been very smooth. And there's always a line. But our local Kroger-owned store (Fred Meyer) has lots of self-checkout kiosks that are all manned with a 1:6 ratio, and they're pretty seamless. They used to be a bit trigger happy with touchy scales, but Kroger seems to have eased up on that. Heck, they just added hand-scanners so you can just leave everything in the cart as you scan. Or just grab a scanner as you go in the store and do it that way.

They don't mention the process node they're manufacturing this on, but I would assume it's intel 4. Sapphire rapids was the old priority at Intel and that was always run on Intel 4 nodes, so I assume it will be the same here. Hoping intel can get down to their 20A and 18A nodes as fast as possible to finally be competitive with ARM competitors on a performance per watt basis.

Yes, this is very clear with recent evidence.

We still need to understand the gut <-> brain connection and why trials like prozac or precursor supplementation helps.

It is already inconclusive that SSRIs help acute covid, but no studies have been done for long covid. That's what the researchers are calling out here.
Youtube is also unrolling adblock detection. Some are already affected. I hope their web environment integrity will be a huge fail and miss as well.

Authoritative sources are probably those they have a direct business relation with.
I'm sure they're still worth money, did the families ever sell them?
I would think Python at the top of the list since it's syntax is very minimal. Just autoformat the tabbing.
I frequently am unsure whether my fat finger tapped upvote or downvote on comments, and since they both disappear...well, I usually just tap "unvote" and do it again, but I'm still never really sure if I tapped the correct one since my finger is so much bigger than the buttons.
Yeah, it's not like Fahrenheit or any temperature scale is literally calibrated to human perception (they're all now defined as transformations from kelvin anyways), that's just a (minor) ancillary impact that can be discussed.

The location in my town serves food and beer/wine. At one point they had at least five B&N Kitchen locations, but it looks like they're down to two:

To me, it makes sense to get rid of the full kitchen but keep the coffee, beer, and wine.
Genuinely curious which shows are guaranteed to be great
How much is that in football fields?
I cannot stand Walmart asking me if I want a printed receipt and an email receipt or just a printed receipt, as if only-digital isn’t a reasonable possibility, and that unlike other retailers (Home Depot comes to mind), they don’t link your email to your card, so if you click for email, you have to type it in every single time. Whoever managed this didn’t think it through.
That’s a feature of the headset, but I think some of the demo videos were recorded in some other manor. I seem to remember hearing a discussion on a podcast (The Talk Show? Dithering?) where it was mentioned you could see a camera rig somehow.

Perhaps that was something you could see on TV when they accidentally showed the rig that was at the same event?

Of course it’s possible they were only using a camera rig so that no one would see the device before they were ready to invade it. Which would be very Apple like.

So I’m speculating a bit. But even if they were going to professionally record events I would think they would do better than just have someone sit there with a headset on.

The military has already engaged in such an agreement, known as Starshield.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink#Military_capabilities

> SpaceX also designs, builds, and launches customized military satellites based on variants of the Starlink satellite bus, with the largest publicly known customer being the Space Development Agency (SDA).

> In 2019, tests by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) demonstrated a 610 Mbit/s data link through Starlink to a Beechcraft C-12 Huron aircraft in flight. Additionally, in late 2019, the United States Air Force successfully tested a connection with Starlink on an AC-130 Gunship. In 2020, the Air Force utilized Starlink in support of its Advanced Battlefield management system during a live-fire exercise. They demonstrated Starlink connected to a "variety of air and terrestrial assets" including the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker.

The military wants far more bandwidth than is available with their current setup, for everything from drone swarms to far-flung observation bases wanting to check their email.
It's a sport, I had assumed some kind of savoury snack ..
That's pretty funny coming from a service that seems to push the opposite every time I experiment with starting with a blank-slate account/session. It only takes about two clicks and I'm seeing conspiracy videos all about the WEF the UN and great replacement and so on.

Never been a fan of the "MSM" as they call it, but the "opposite" is seemingly worse. I'd opt for neither?

To me the problem with YouTube and similar systems seems to be the whole idea of click/impression-based ranking and funding. It creates awful incentives.

Funding sources for independent, ethical, journalism is what we need.

Hi! I'm the author. :) I can agree I had problems with tables as well. I tried crosswords and sudoku. My assumption is that it does not work well when it needs to position the text in the spatial context of table or grid. I found BARD to work a lot better with those examples.

I found it to work really well with weirdly positioned text. Like serial number on tire.
> Meaning that they treat their employees fairly

The existence of a policy doesn't make it fair, in fact the reason I abhor 1-size-fits-all policies is because of places like Amazon warehouses where you're fired for being late X times ("sorry, it's policy, my hands are tied :( ). Corporate policies are there to protect the company from lawsuits, and as a consequence they erode the agency of individuals which is literally dehumanizing. It's one step away from a human and one toward a robot. people should be treated like humans.
How are you prompting it to extract the data?
A well-sized range hood vent fan is going to be your first line of defense though. Its already generally traveling up from the convection on the stove, so ensuring you've got good ventilation there should be the primary ventilation strategy. Plus you're then trying to exhaust the air with the highest percentage of contaminates instead of letting it spread out throughout your house and then ventilate it.

Loads of vent fans are pretty terrible. They're often undersized for their needs or they don't even blow outside. I see a lot of units with only a couple hundred CFM. I have a Vent-a-Hood B200 system that gives 900CFM with both blowers on. It'll clear whatever smoke or particles are coming off my stove. I don't even have a gas grill but its clear how effective it is. Its crazy how much grease it manages to catch, grease that would have otherwise gone all throughout our house and in our lungs.

Forgive me, because I don't want to pretend I understand this. No one does. It is still a mystery. This is just a "guess" based on what I've read and experienced first hand. Also, isn't the brain/gut/nervous system all connected anyway. What makes you think only the serotonin in the brain affects mood?

In the first half, the Nell is just a sweet, innocent, vulnerable child, which ratchets up the tension tremendously any time she is in danger.

By the end, she’s tough and capable, so Stephenson tries to increase the pressure with intrigue and conflict. But, I was simply more invested in Nell herself than the fate of her world.

I didn’t hate the ending, but the first half was definitely more gripping.
YouTube serves MSM on any search query I have for trendy topics. And they are one sided. Its propaganda at its finest
I was literally asking my wife last Thursday “Do people actually use arm rests? What are they for besides getting hooked on stuff?” I was talking desk chairs specifically.

Apparently some people do!

I have an exceptionally tall torso and normal arms though so it’s quite rare for my elbow to actually reach an arm rest.
Why do we now treat it like regular flu then?
In a world where "inertial dampeners" exist and making invisible forcefields is pedestrian, physical seatbelts aren't terribly important.
