Thanks a lot for your comment, it is very interesting to read directly from your experience. I am particularly pleased by your comment, because it kind of goes in the direction of my first reaction when I read this comment about "sub-trippy doses" being used.

I do not have experiences with psychedelics, but I do have quite some mileage with meditation, in particular approaches that aim at shifting the "way of looking". Those practices can lead to experiences that lead to profound shifts in the usual day-to-day way of looking at the world, but the experiences themselves are more subtle than what I expect a full blown trip to feel like. So I can totally picture that the experience, even if just subtle, can be a big part of the transformation.

That’s odd because the dimensions of the Model 3 are all larger than in a Corolla.

Yeah, the Model 3 does have a stiffer ride than most cars.

There is a euphorbia (a hoodia? can't recall reference) with a chemical 500 times stronger than capsaicin. IIRC so strong it destroys the receptor.

Anyone have a ref while I paw through my memory slowly?

Edit: here it is, resiniferatoxin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resiniferatoxin

"Resiniferatoxin has a score of 16 billion Scoville heat units, making pure resiniferatoxin about 500 to 1000 times hotter than pure capsaicin.[...] This stimulation is followed by desensitization and analgesia, in part because the nerve endings die from calcium overload"

"At 16 billion Scoville units, resiniferatoxin is rather toxic and can inflict chemical burns in minute quantities. [...] For rats, LD50 through oral ingestion is 148.1 mg/kg.[13] It causes severe burning pain in sub-microgram (less than 1/1,000,000th of a gram) quantities when ingested orally. "
> what latex has is a reasonable enough syntax that a human can write it by hand, unlike HTML+CSS. Moreover, the syntax, though clunky [1] is designed, as much as possible, to not interfere with the content that the human is writing

I could not disagree more. LaTeX syntax is not 'clunky', it's a mess, and has intentionally been engineered right from the start to be clever rather than consistent. And it's not the syntax only, the obvious mess that is LaTeX's surface goes right on, right to the heart ("the guts" as TeXnicians prefer to say) of the machinery, where no concern is dealt with separately, and anything can influence and break everything else.

Hell you don't even get a semblance of sane text (string) processing or decent numerical computation. Yes, you can do it, in the way you could use a toothbrush or wet wipes to paint your house.

> Latex is "typographically-complete"

Yes as long as one is ready to ignore the fact that quite a few simple things are quite difficult to achieve in LaTeX, e.g. keeping lines the same height and keep register instead of jumping around whenever a superscript is encountered.

> The replacement for TeX/latex is never going to a simpler language. It is going to a language just as complex as latex.

The complexity of LaTeX is just in part due to the complexities of typesetting. It is complex because of an endless litany of bad design choices. HTML+CSS+JS gets a lot of flak for being too complex, but they pale in comparison. For example[1]:

In order to use numerical codepoints to write 東京, you can write any of:

^^^^6771 ^^^^4eac
\char"6771 \char"4EAC

The space between the entities is used to signal the end of the codepoint number, hence to write 東 京 with a space you must use tricks, one of

\char"6771{} \char"4EAC
\char"6771\ \char"4EAC

In this system, ^^5c represents the backslash. But, unlike reasonable systems which TeX is not one of, using numerical reference doesn't deactivate the backslash's special role as command indicator.

Compare this to XML / HTML &#x6771;&#x4eac; which is a much more reasonable syntax, not any harder to write, and uses an explicit end-of-command marker instead of the 'clever' space which is highly problematic.

I apologize if I misunderstand you, which is very possible.

I interpret you as saying that unless there is a "trip" there is only a placebo effect left on the table so to speak. I think this is somewhat refuted by the fact that the standard ketamine infusion protocol (that does not normaly induce "trips") has an effect size that dwarfs the effect size of placebo (say 0.2 - 0.4). Some studies have shown ketamine approaching ECT-effect sizes. This makes me sound like a ketamine nut, which I am not. I am a bit of an ECT nut though. I have just not excluded the fact that the phenomenology of certain treatments actually mediate the treatment effects in a non-placebo way.

There's an asymmetry here, too. "The sky is ${color}", with no extra context, has one obvious answer for us living here, today. Whereas for "Blue is the color of ${thing}", with no extra answer, there's an insane amount of equally sensible substitutions for ${thing}. Without extra content, the model has no reason to privilege "sky" over any other equally valid answer.

More on creating your own class file:

https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Writing_your_own_packag...

How I do it...

I keep a directory called LaTeX inside my home directory. Inside that I keep a file with all my frontmatter, myfrontmatter.sty (technically a package rather than a class), and also my biblatex file and a scan of my signature for signing letters. When I start a new LaTeX document I add the line \usepackage{/home/nanna/LaTeX/myfrontmatter} to the top (note, no .sty). This keeps my frontmatter minimal and tidy.

Inside myfrontmatter.sty:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{/home/nanna/LaTeX/myfrontmatter}[2015/01/01 by me]

\RequirePackage{amsmath} % Just replace `usepackage` with `RequirePackage`
\RequirePackage{amsthm}
...

\addbibresource{/home/nanna/LaTeX/biblatex.bib}
...

%% Macros like for inserting my signature
\newcommand{\mysignature}{\noindent\includegraphics{/home/nanna/LaTeX/signature.png}}
...
\endinput % Not sure if this line does anything?

And that's it. I never have to worry about a package I've forgotten to add in. Granted a journal might not accept my custom package but I can always just copy and paste it all into my frontmatter, minus the top two lines and replace all the RequirePackages with usepackages.

Try context over latex. Much more “gimme what I ask for” than being super academic about subsubsubsubheaders.

The bandwidth argument doesn't fly. I already pay for my bandwidth. You already pay for yours. I don't pay for yours and you don't pay for mine. Why do we have to pay for YouTube's? If YouTube is finding their bandwidth costs are too high then they should renegotiate their deals and peering agreements etc. They almost certainly already get a much better deal on bandwidth than you or me.

This way bandwidth costs would be paid for by the people actually using it, ie. the users.

Running the service as a loss and expecting to recoup it via advertising is a broken business model. Loss leaders always lead to consumer dissatisfaction. People should just pay for what they use.

I do not believe in "unlimited bandwidth" ISP deals. Nothing is unlimited. I want to pay for what I use. This is not entitlement.

It's not my fault they've chosen a broken business model. If I could get the content elsewhere I certainly would. They've used anti-competitive practices to ensure YouTube is the most popular platform for new media. I will not have ads in my own home and I will not pay into one specific monopoly. That's not how the web works.
The problem with any new initiative in this space is that it enters a field that is more than well populated. It doesn't matter if existing solutions are less than perfect.

Its like walking into a historic European city that has architecture going back millennia and arguing for a great new building design. Greenfield space is scarce and people will not just demolish old structures to try something new. They need to sense overwhelming advantage.

The analogy gives some hints as to what needs to happen for a new approach to take hold. In building construction, massively better use of space was one example: For better or worse, use of steel and reinforced concrete opened the vertical dimension and the rest is history.

Is there such an unexplored dimension that could entice people into yet another document format to "improve" on ascii, restructuredText, wikitext, markdown, tex/latex, asciidoc, html etc. etc.?

The stock answer is some sort of semantic hypertext infrastructure. The original vision is still unfulfilled. If we assume that the walled gardens of today are just a bad nightmare that will pass away, in a re-decentralized web one would need modern, user-friendly and empowering document writing infrastructure.

But there might be other dimensions that would elevate document writing and sharing to new heights. The beauty of innovation is that it is not bound by conventional rules and pre-existing wisdom.
It's certainly a great flexibility to have access to those kind of things, that's why a lot of technical people also like command line utilities.

But honestly there is no reason to not also provide GUIs for using these features.
There's also helper crates like eyre simplifying the process of adding context even further (at the cost of type erasure):

Raising lots of money doesn’t mean it’s a sustainable business. I don’t think you know the colloquial definition of startup in Silicon Valley.

Raising millions doesn’t mean making millions either. If you took a bunch of investor money and just paid it all out to your employees and closed up shop that’s a misappropriation of funds.

> Imagine if all the SWEs at all these VCs backed companies went on strike unless the laid off Convoy employees got six months of healthcare

Why would they do that? I’m not going to go on strike because other employees are incapable of understanding the risks of joining an unprofitable company that is default dead. If you want 6 months of paid healthcare, quote it and demand it as a signing bonus before you start.

Startups blow up. It’s your responsibility to prepare for it. Established companies blow up too. Sometimes you even just get fired because you suck.

SWEs have zero excuse to not have saved enough money to pay for cobra for six months if things fall apart.

Because doing something like this is opinionated. The LaTeX developers try to do the opposite: they want to provide packages that cover as many usecases as possible.

And users of LaTeX are probably not knowledgeable enough or too busy to publish their opinionated subset of LaTeX as a class. I don't know for sure. There is no central body that has an interest in removing barriers, so you might as well ask me or yourself why I or you haven't published anything.

I developed something similar to this at my company, because we write lots of LaTeX documents and need shortcuts like this not only for brevity but also so that we achieve some consistency across the entire team. It's only for internal use though and thus not public.

Yes. That one is coming from the other direction (Latin).
A small but important reframing: I agree that (open data) + (reproducibility) + (review) is a better bar than any one in isolation.

(This applies to empirical sciences only. In contrast, for a mathematical paper, rigorous reviews of the formal logic are the gold-standard.)

I choose the phrase 'review' intentionally; it doesn't need to follow one of the typical [1] 'peer review' processes from a journal. There are likely alternative methods that are (at least as) or (more) effective. Some fields have seen amazing contributions from 'lay people' all across the world.

> If you're trying to make decisions about personal health, it pays to take a cautious approach (IMO) and let people decide for themselves.

For a person equipped with the time, skill, rationality, and motivation, I agree. But it is an empirical question to assess how many people have these skills. I also want to push back against what might be an individualistic bias [2] in the statement above. Even if one is an individualist, it isn't optimally efficient nor practical for an individual to 'take on' all this responsibility. It is rational and efficient to place some degree of trust in others.

[1] These processes vary and should be treated with a fair bit of skepticism. I want to to dig in more; e.g. to what degree have these processes been designed to account for human realities so as to maximize quality?

[2]: See also https://so2020.isosonline.org/conference/the-individualist-b... "Individualism claims that social entities (e.g. groups, institutions) are essentially nothing but suitably arranged aggregates of individuals. This is usually tried to be demonstrated through developing accounts of reduction or supervenience. Holism, on the other hand, claims that social entities are sui generis as something over and above individuals."
Yes. That was the bit where I mentioned "progressive enhancement".

While quite interesting, I'll mention this as a heads-up: The website managed to mess my browser (Firefox on Windows, in this case) so much I had to close it and restart it.
Firefox profiles are indeed great. Especially as they're so easy to backup and restore across machines, even different OS. Some simple fiddling with installs.ini and profiles.ini then run Firefox with -P as you say and you're good to go.

I've used this process for over a decade, probably more than 15 years now I think about it. Hard to remember! Sadly it doesn't work with Firefox on Ubuntu anymore due to that being a snap package. I'm sure there is a simple enough solution to get it working the same with the snap version but I instead prefer to remove the snap version of Firefox on Ubuntu and use the release directly from download.mozilla.org as I have the download, install and restore all automated for Windows, macOS and Linux so why make my life harder with snaps just for Ubuntu? :)
That's an espionage company which is openly violating privacy rights of other countries citizens outside of the US jurisdiction.

I would agree with you, if all companies and individuals in the world could openly violate right of US citizens outside of the US without the extradition and sanctions risk.

It would be fair to drop all extradition agreements with the US if the US allows such behavior from their companies or enforce the extradition and jail time for C-level management of such companies based in the US if they leave the country anywhere (like it happens with others).

go doesn't have inheritance it just has composition, where you write the name of a parent class inside a child class, and get all its fields and methods

but you don't inherit them, and unlike some languages you type the parent's name inside the class rather than in the typedecl

generics? we won't need them. okay yes maybe not having generics will lead to an outcome where it is impossible to publish reusable code for sorting and lists, but surely if we gave people generics they would simply abuse them and live in filth

there should be a name for the type of language designer who thinks you can give people generics without ruining the package ecosystem

it is Good and Right that most lines of code are `if x, err := thing(); err { return err }`. from a language design perspective, manually plumbing errors around prevents Pollution of the package ecosystem. we can Lint the % of tokens that are `err` and if the % is low that is a bad language to which ours is superior
