Twice as hot is also useful in Celsius. For every increase of 10C chemical reactions happen twice as fast, it will literally, thermodynamically be twice as hot.

Which will probably even match your subjective feeling.

Celsius scales thermodynamically logarithmically. You can’t just double the numbers. (The same with sound etc.)
Often users only want QEMU, with a graphical interface on top. Libvirt is not just a graphical interface, but also an abstraction over multiple virtualization backends.

It tends to add complexity, while making more advanced usage of specific virtualization backends more difficult. Especially with its own configuration format based on XML.

Edit: Correction, libvirt is not the graphical interface, but entirely the virtualization abstraction. Virt-manager one of several interfaces.

[OP Here] for the record i do admire pmarca for a lot of his gamechanging thoughts and achievements. never met him but have a few good friends at a16z and admire their work.

altho i think this article is WAY too aggro (its an excellent clickbait title, but also tech journalists love to hate tech) i submitted anyway purely because this article seems noteworthy and is generating significant online debate on pmarca’s latest.

my personal 2 cents is simply that it’s a lot of words for “it’s time to build”. on that, pmarca was correct.
To this day I still haven't seen a more sensible API for low-latency Ethernet than Exablaze (was the market leader in low-latency trading, then got bought by Cisco).

I highly recommend Posford's "The Herb Garden" from Mystery of the Yeti Part 2 (released as a Hallucinogen track before he seemingly switched to doing all of his chiller music with Raja) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nce44osPpE

Celtic Cross, Ott, and Entheogenic are phenomenal as well.

I'd recommend Third Ear Audio, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Kuba (specifically the album Through a Lens), Phutureprimitive, Saafi Brothers

If you're ever looking to put on a few hours of something and want an epic thematic journey spanning 2 albums, try "When the silence is..." by Koan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBksiW_3dCY

edit: I'm not sure what genre this fits under, but the album "Deliverance" by Culprate reminds me a lot of Shpongle in ways that it has no right to, since... I'm pretty sure it's not psychill/psytrance
If you though writing a bash script can be addictive, wait till you write a nushell script !

The nushell language is clean and quite consistent. It is also much more powerful than bash/fish etc. Don't let the massive number of changes every minor version fool you -- nushell is ready to use. Probably not as a login shell but when you want an "all in one" replacement for the dozens of command line utilities in un*x.

I have had the same experience with PyCharm on Win. I miss PyCharm's approach to exploring nested data data structures visually but I don't miss having to wait 10 minutes every launch because it is "updating indexes."
Ok, you got me to dig into the study. Really what’s most noticeable to me is that the dementia rate in the ADHD cohort was 13.2% but only 7% in the general population, before any kind of statistical massaging, which I’d have expected to push even further towards correlating ADHD with dementia given it’s much more diagnosed now than in the past and most people with dementia are older.

But the way they’re controlling for stimulants is very poor. To begin with, out of the 100k in the study, only 730 had ADHD and of that only 163 were in the psychostimulant cohort. So to establish statistical significance regarding dementia, which only affected 96 people out of the 730 with ADHD, would be almost impossible if the relationship were mild. And you see that in the huge P-value for the infra-ADHD comparison (0.74) which shows a slight decrease in dementia for stimulant-takers. Basically there is too little data to take that seriously at all.

The comparison across ADHD and no-ADHD populations regarding psychostimulants is deeply flawed too. They’re bucketing [0] dopaminergic stimulants with modafinil (much less dopaminergic) and even nootropics like racetams - literally prescribed to heal brain damage and treat or prevent dementia in former Soviet Union countries, with an entirely different safety profile and mechanism compared to dopaminergic stimulants. Having trouble finding data on racetam legality and use in Israel, so they may not be in scope given the medication would need to be formally prescribed IIUC. But that leaves the remainder as likely taking prescribed dopaminergic stimulants and modafinil, which for those without ADHD are mostly taken by those with narcolepsy. So the non-ADHD psychostimulant users are likely strongly biased towards narcoleptics with the remainder being those taking drugs for the purpose of treating or preventing cognitive decline, and the intra-cohort ratio is 1.1:22.3 so roughly only 5% of the ADHD-stimulant group is comparable to the nonADHD-stimulant group assuming similar, uncorrelated incidence of narcolepsy.

In other words, their two attempts to control for stimulant use either have a uselessly low amount of data giving a p-value of 0.74, or are confounded by comparing against narcoleptics taking stimulants’ dementia rates (not healthy people taking stimulants; they wouldn’t have been prescribed stimulants so long without having ADHD or narcolepsy) with the possible wildcard of some of these “psychostimulant” users taking non-dopaminergic stimulants or even non-stimulant nootropics.

What's your secret?
The notion that "talking to a poor person" would somehow illuminate any of the issues that the author is talking about is laughable. Folk economic beliefs are notoriously terrible. Shedding crocodile tears about how poverty will still exist in the techno-utopian future is a way of attacking a strawman. Focusing on the plight of San Francisco in particular is backwards thinking, since Andreessen is undoubtedly more concerned about global metrics than parochial, highly-localized ones. No one should care that much if tech is driving up the Gini coefficient in SF if it's driving down global Gini.
When I was 10 we got a CD player and one of the first CDs I owned - I bought a music magazine with a free cover disk - it happened to be the entire The Lone Deranger by Hallucinogen - through most of my teens I didn't really have a preference, but when I got to 18 I discovered clubs, and it likely had an effect on me liking techno and PsyTrance at the time which I prefered.

In 2001 I spent a year in The Netherlands and went to warehouse parties in the North, at that time abandoned warehouses (also at that time Amsterdam was full of squats which are now > €1m flats) - it was both weird and an amazing time.

Since you don't have any I have disregarded and ignored all your spurious points as you have no credible up to date (2020/2023) sources backing them and yet I have.
The bad: I was an alcoholic and smoked from age 12 to age 30. The community builds a level of arrogance that they have access to special knowledge because they are in a specific stage in the evolutionary "destiny". Breaking bonds with other family/friends is almost needed because you don't hear their points anymore, just like scientology or other closed sects, not sure their proper name. You think you have a guardian angel too that your destiny is to survive and become enlightened and you shouldn't have fear, I had a couple of near death experiences because of this false sense of security, plus the constant wine drinking...

If someone builds a company and becomes crazy rich - is that a good thing or a bad thing for society?

One interesting paradox I always think about when it comes to this debate is that every dollar owned by a rich person is worth nothing to them until they give it to another person. You can't eat money.

So one man's wealth is another man's income.

A problem only arises when the rich person spends that money on luxury. Like when he builds and maintains a huge house for himself. With lots of butlers and gardeners etc. All that work could have been spent on building a factory, a park or a museum for everybody instead.

But if the rich person uses their money to hire people and build another company - that is a good thing. Even if they become twice as rich in the process.

So the problem is not how rich some people are.

But how much energy society spends on luxury.
> There are no practical physical limits to wealth creation since ideas can be monetized with only energy expenditure.

This statement is internally inconsistent.

Back in those days software came in a box and the box contained the media for the software and at least one book, which was the user manual. Some software included multiple numbers of books, covering different topics. But these were real books written by technical writers with 200+ page counts.

There have been many successful orthographic reforms in many languages, including recently (1996 for German). It probably can’t succeed in English, because no English-speaking country has any culture or history of state language regulation, and even if they did, it’d be tough to get them all to cooperate. Also, the most powerful English-speaking country is unable to meaningfully reform anything because of its deadlocked and hyper-polarized political system. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible in general. For German only Germany, Austria and Switzerland had to agree, all of which, unlike the US, have normally functioning political and administrative systems.
That you had no choice does not affect whether or not a statement is nonsensical.

You seem to assume that a lot of judgements we make of actions require that the actions have been made "freely". But we judge things that we all agree does not have free will behind them all the time. E.g. we judge the weather.

> Nonsensicality, criminality, judgment, quality, all go out the window if we are all just puppets on strings.

None of them go out the window. The morality of how we approach some of them are affected. E.g. I do strongly believe that any judgement of peoples actions morally should account for their lack of ability to act otherwise, and that this e.g. makes punishments or reactions based out of a desire for vengeance entirely immoral, and that punishment in general should be based on an assessment of how to minimise the harm to society as a whole - and that includes taking into account harm to the person you're punishing, but that does not remove the need for judging criminals because criminals still affect society irrespective of how they make their decisions.

It does mean that from my point of view a punishment is only justified if you can show that the harm from imprisoning someone sufficiently mitigates risks of harms to society that sufficiently outweigh the harm we do to the person we imprison, and that would certainly affect how you deal with those you imprison, and when you use prison sentences, but it would not end imprisonment.

And we are just puppets on a string. I feel comfortable making that statement firmly, because nobody has ever even come up with as much of a definition of "free will" that isn't compatibilist (that is, an illusion over predetermination, though many compatibilists would get irate at me describing it as an illusion) or otherwise does not in any meaningful way make actions "free", much less posited any remotely testable hypothesis for what such "free" decisions even would be that would let our minds influence them without any cause and affect that isn't some mix of deterministic and randomness that we have no meaningful influence over. The burden is on those who believe in free will to, for starters, define it in a logically coherent way other than just arguing in the negative by insisting we're somehow different from all other matter and energy we've observed.

> these people are spoiling it for the rest.

These people aren't spoiling it for the rest. The government was always going to ban it because:

(a) the government and the opposition always favour authoritarian drugs laws; and

(b) they are unpopular and (due to ideology) incapable of solving real problems, so they announce terrible policies instead.
And to add

- They do not offer live chat at the moment because they are too busy.

- The phone waiting times are up to 30 minutes. I've called them many times and they are completely unable to do anything as they are the 'support' team and it all depends on the 'verification' team.

- They respond to emails with canned responses, usually 2-3 days

- They respond on Twitter in public and by DM. In public, they make it sound like they really care and ask to DM. If you DM, you get an AI bot that might eventually put you through to an agent if you find the correct way through the decision tree. Then the agent will tell you that they are working as fast as they can and you should wait another 10 working days and see what happens.
So there’s three options: index at the beginning, index at the end and no index.

Index at the beginning means it’s easy to look up, but impossible to add anything.

No index, which is tar, means it’s impossible to tell what’s in it without reading the entire file.

Index at the end, which is zip, means you have to do slightly more work to find the index, but then you can read it without reading the rest of the file, and move it further along the file if you want to extend the file and you can edit it or add to it.

And if you want compression tar is just a compressed blob and the only thing you can do is read it from beginning to end. That’s just not very helpful unless the only things you want to do are packages a bunch of things and unpack all of them. A major use case but one met perfectly fine by hundreds of formats.
It's also very hard to prove that someone inhaled this stuff even very shortly after. Even if you find somone crashed into a siderail on the highway with empty balloons and canisters of laughing gas on the passenger seat, there's no way to prove that it was the gas.

Aside from the fact that people get addicted and do this way too frequently, a ban might help prevent those kinds of accidents.
Doesn’t the balloon get in the way?

There was petrol sniffing, and then people having a cigarette afterwards.

The glue sniffing.

So many silver phials dumped on the pavement, now people are buying the catering sized canisters of Nitrous oxide, and dumping that too.
My _exact_ reaction. I have a couple friends who'll send me rants like this (obviously not as thoughtful, but similarly toned and spaced) on Messenger at 3am and then apologize the next day and say they had too much wine and vyvanse. Replace vyvanse with speed, adderall, blow, meth, etc. - enough of any of them will bring you to a similar place (for the inexperienced user, specifically).

One of the biggest tells of stim-brain is the feeling of grandiose and sure mindedness. You feel so, so certain that you've got it _all_ figured out, and you've _finally_ got the words flying off your fingertips explaining it all flawlessly. The writing usually sucks, though, since you don't take the time to edit. Just stream-of-consciousness it all into the doc. Occasionally fun to code with, extremely annoying to have to read or listen to.

Anyway - I know nothing about marca's habits and I won't pretend to. Just a funny observation.
