This isn't the first time I've seen someone use MENSA as a synonym for "the population of intelligent people".

Personally I think it makes perfect sense that MENSA members have a higher tendency toward mood disorders; they're literally just the people who think they're so much smarter than everyone else that they formed an ego-stroking club for themselves. How could you even consider joining such a group without first having a disorder of some kind? It's a prerequisite.

It's just a regex to match the line you want to see the history of. Function would be a common case, but it's completely arbitrary.

For example, `git log -L:members:Cargo.toml` will show the history of constituent rust projects in a Cargo workspace.

This is something very spiritually close to a concept I recently learned about from Cory Doctorow’s talk at DEFCON called Adversarial Interoperability:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interopera...

As many have noted the reason this functionality is not available is because it invariably leads to commodification of services. Competitors will quickly jump in and use those APIs to interoperate to bootstrap themselves up.

Most likely for consumers that is a huge win, but for companies that is a dangerous filter that filers out companies that stagnate.

This used to be common back in the day and was keeping companies from stagnation, that was until per Cory’s arguments there have been an explosion of laws that basically outlawed Adversarial Interoperability. Which in turn led to too big to fail software giants we have today.
This article from Teflon.com is not clickbait, they’re just massively underselling the risk of fluorocarbons to birds. Burning a teflon pan will straight up kill any birds in your home. It’s not a minor irritant like onions, you can’t just crack a window to let the fumes out, if they’re exposed they’ll start having seizures within minutes and be dead before you could get them to a vet (not that there’s really anything that could be done).

Just as a general rule birds are delicate, there’s a lot given up to allow for flight. Teflon is somewhat risky for humans too but it’s not remotely on the same scale.
The author would've had a point if SBF actually donated all the stolen money to effective charities. But he didn't, he just appropriated it.

So his actions are in no way consistent with EA, and shouldn't be considered indicative of it.

Developer's dont write tests if writing tests is hard. Simple as that. If writing tests is hard because you never invested in setting up a good test infrastructure with helpful utilities, you fucked up. If writing tests is hard because your architecture is a cluster fuck of mixed responsibilities, you fucked up.
Usually there's a getting started section, mostly links to important nuances in the fine documenting and short code examples. Then there will be a section for each problem that I've encountered - often things that I've solved by reading Stack Overflow answers. But then there are the footguns and pitfalls - this is where the real value of these files lie.
But can we build enough reservoirs to store evaporated water? It seems like desalinization will still be important.
It's a matter of letting things degrade so that the maintenance becomes outright firefighting. I am currently working on a project where a processing pipeline has a maximum practical throughput of 1x, and a median day's for said pipeline is... 0.95x. So any outage becomes unrecoverable. Getting that project approved 6 month from now would have been basically impossible. Right now, it's valued at a promotion-level difficulty instead.

At another job, at a financial firm I got a big bonus after I went live on November 28th with an upgrade that let a system 10x their max throughput, and scaled linearly instead of being completely stuck. at their 1x. Median number of requests per second received in dec 1st? 1.8x... the system would have failed under load, causing significant losses to the company.

Prevention is underrated, but firefighting heroics are so well regarded that sometimes it might even be worthwhile to be the arsonist
FreeTube also has SponsorBlock built in, actually. I highly recommend it!

Also, I would not call it "adblock". It just comes without ads out of the box, just like most comparable apps.

My 30 years paper photos are mostly lost now.. too many house moves, too much physical stuff.

On the other hand, my high school projects from decades ago, as well as my first digital photos, are still with me, somewhere in the "archive" folder. They are only a few megabytes after all, an insignificant amount of space for a long time. It's easier to keep copying entire "archive/" to new machines rather than sort it.

And for photos in particular, I know there is an archive on each machine I owned, and on many external drives, at least a dozen copies. I'd say the chances of them surviving 1000 years in are pretty high, much higher than physical photos.
You don’t even need that. Just look at Tokyo’s sewer system with huge cavernous water storage to avoid flooding.

It's easy to copy things into your own overlay IF you get notice that this version is going away.

Rarely, you might need to keep a dependency around. But no, usually the earlier packages still build just fine for a very long time. In the case of a high-churn package like chromium, there is a reason to be on latest - all the security patches - but when the latest doesn't build, the previous one is already gone (and would have built just fine.)
> What do psychedelics achieve here that ordinary meditation as in e.g. vipassana does not?

I actually don't think it's worth comparing the two. They achieve a similar end goal depending on your intentionality but I don't think it's fruitful to say one is better than the other.

> They seem like a pointless shortcut, and potentially a problematic one.

Psychedelics certainly have a higher ability to be abused. People need to be educated on looking at their family mental health history, they need an informed trip sitter, and they need to be well informed on what the experience will entail.

On the other hand, how many guru cults that incorporate meditation as a form of psychological warfare and isolation have we witnessed in our lifetimes? The people who are casually allowed to walk around and profess themselves as prophets or gurus is highly adjacent to the consequences of ill-informed ego death and return in the psychedelic space.

> If the hallucinatory dynamic is specifically what you care about, that's also typical of perfectly ordinary experiences such as dreaming, or even just drifting in and out of sleep

Psilocybin, LSD, and DMT are nothing like dreaming. They're very vivid experiences. They can rip you out of your rooting in this reality which is why, imo, they're not good to do unless you have an informed trip sitter who can ensure your mental, emotional, and physical safety. That's what also makes them powerful teachers in the way of perspective; imo, it's not that you're "unlocking secrets to the universe" during a trip, moreso you've been granted a perspective outside of your sense of self that is difficult to achieve otherwise. Depending on the dose it could also be total dissolution of the ego. These things wear off, of course, but someone who can help you do a "soft landing" in the case where you run into some trauma makes a huge difference. The things you process afterward are where "the work" is done.

> What "treasure" are we gaining by dosing the brain with chemicals, that we couldn't otherwise?

You could meditate until your ego dies and likely achieve many of the same machinations from what I've read from peoples testimonies. Again, the work isn't done during meditation, it's how you decompose your experience and incorporate it into your life later. Psychedelics are the same, just a different mechanism that you cannot choose to say "I'm done" halfway through.
I haven't been able to confirm nor refute this. However, being sloppy, it looks like pure cocaine has an LD50 of about 95 mg/kg [1] while caffeine appears to have an LD50 of about 367mg/kg [2]. These are numbers from rat and mouse studies, with different routes of administration. The cocaine LD50, for instance, was obtained by IP (intraperitoneal) injection, while the caffeine administration was oral. I have not been able to find any studies that give an LD50 for both substances in a single animal model with the same route of administration. Let's play with these numbers as they are.

The IC50 (inhibitory constant, a measure of sufficiency of plasma concentration to inhibit 50% of affected biological processes [how I'll estimate potency]) of caffeine in the human model is estimated at a concentration of about 67microMolar. Cocaine's IC50 appears to be about 4.4mM.[4]

The major difference in routes of administration will be how much of the substance ends up in plasma vs metabolites. Making the genuinely wild assumption that they have similar plasma effects from the same RoA, it would appear the IC50 of cocaine is about an order magnitude lower than that of caffeine (meaning you need less), while its LD50 is about a third that of caffeine (meaning less will kill you [but also keeping in mind that the LD50 was found via injections]) but still within the same order of magnitude approximation.

This to me indicates that cocaine is the preferable compound, even though I still think neither of them is great intransally. I will say, however, I absolutely prefer my cocaine as a drink and caffeine as a snifter. I have an intranasal cocktail of oxytocin, kanna, and caffeine that I'll bump once or twice a week. I quite like it, but people who rail lines of caffeine simply befuddle me.

it's not like game studios have increased in size, it's just more bloat. look at old games' credits, you'll find maybe even bigger studios (making art and programming with limited hardware was much more time-consuming....) but they had good gameplay on a much smaller budget. Today, studios waste money on analytics, governance things and other fluff...

Best case study is Mojang, the company has over 800 employees but it is literally outperformed in game design and update quality/quantity by ten people at Re-Logic. (which includes managers and legal as well!)

Yep, implementing one (a solid one) is hardcore. But think about it. Building, say, an XML or SQL type provider is a big deal. Doing it right requires special talent, because you are essentially building a transpiler to seamlessly interface with F#.

But this is also it’s greatest strength. Having direct, type-safe access to structured data is truly awesome. What else compares? Certainly not conventional code gen.
How would this ability show up if we built gpt out of these? More out of the box thinking?

To my ear, the two translations you listed sound very similar to primitivesuave’s “I am time…” translation and dissimilar to Oppenheimer’s “I am death…” translation. Can you explain why you disagree?
Facebook was pretty good about this on the infra teams. No, not perfect, but a lot better than the other big companies I was exposed to.

If anything, big companies are better about tech-debt squashing, and it's the little tiny companies and startups that are, on average, spending less time on it.
I think it is a bit tricky to get the incentives right ( since the bookkeeping people like to quantize everything). If you reward finding and fixing bugs too much - you might push developers to write more sloppy code in the first place. Because then those who loudly fix their own written mess gets promoted - and those who quietly write solid code gets overlooked.
Wow so nice

Whether the corporate honchos are "sincere" or not is wholly irrelevant to me (and frankly unknowable).

"Think of the children" is usually a vapid misdirect, except of course in the objective measurable leading cause of death right? So in terms of issues where "something must be done", this should be objectively pretty high.

Either we drastically reduce the number of cars on the road and restructure American society around public transit (I wholly support this), or we take the humans out of the equation by making things autonomous. Or some combination of both.

I dont care if this happens under some grand socialist program if we so hate corporations/industries, but it needs to happen yesterday.

The rest is just status quo protection which is unacceptable.
Theft or fraud would definitely be preferable to the loss of the planet. Utilitarianism aside, sometimes doing the wrong thing actually is the better thing to do. Anyone who helped slaves escape via the Underground Railroad or smuggled Jews out of Nazi Germany would not be considered evil for their actions, and those could easily be construed as theft (in a gross way) or fraud.
That description of EA is not even remotely accurate.

Not mesmerizing, probably. Coprosma is a Rubiaceae, the most famous member of the family by a mile is the coffee. I would assume mildly sweet without any particular taste

Coprosma shrubs (of a different species) can be bought in any decent plant nursery from warm and temperate areas, the plant is hard, easy to care and famous by the lacquered appearance of its small leaves.

I’ve mentioned it before on here but I’ve been using someone’s tool called aider for a more integrated experience for coding: https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider

It’s got a few QoL improvements it could use, especially with larger code bases, but otherwise works pretty well.

If you wanted to use a local LLM you could combine it with something like FastChat to expose an OpenAI compatible API and just point the tool at that URL instead

Biggest lie there is the pretense of fungibility in utility, when individuals can't even be temporally consistent in their definition. I mean, Dutch book is a big component of how the economy at large traps people in poverty.
My humble experience is that this scale of duckup is unachievable from line workers being bad at their jobs.

It is easily achievable from bad/misaligned incentives, poor leadership, no product vision and probably a dozen other organisation problems which make decent workers working on stuff that actively makes the end product worse. Think Boeing 737 Max.
I'm not sure the F# community would like it if MS took more control of it though.
According to WebMD, they are already dead.
To the contrary: I’m sure all the developers worked very hard, and very competently.

It sounds like classic mismanagement. Some artists making this being told that there will be some automatic culling or LOD system so to go wild - it won’t affect the end result; and the system not being ready or being cut by another part of the organisation without the artists ever knowing about it.

I’m sure there were vocal developers who understood the problems and advocated for fixing - but a decision was made to release anyway; I can’t even say wrongly, because games being half-finished on release and polished later is not at all unusual nowadays even for flagship titles; and they do have a track record of supporting their titles for a long time.

I can well imagine a reasonable decision to get money coming in now for the cost of a couple of months of low level complaints that nobody will remember in a year.

It sucks, but I am willing to bet it’s not laziness or people being bad at their jobs.
I'd love to see public transit's utility improved, in order to be remotely competitive with the current utility of the auto.

What I mostly see are plans to nerf the utility of the auto, in order to make it competitive with the current utility of public transit.

I think it's time I rip off the GPL 3 in spirit and structure, but change everything into a license one issues himself called the Universal Pirates' License. It would be a document which sounds like a software license but in fact be a statement of reality: he who has and can copy the code gets to use the code, like a stick lying on the ground.
If you give tax incentives for both people and businesses who start somewhere other than a highly desirable place. To the locals who live there as well of course.

Oh, don't get me wrong: Type providers are absolutely fantastic. Just, they are such a complex beast, most implementations I used so far are pretty fragile, at best. But tbh, even a fragile one is surprisingly useful
Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in the digital age. Self-learning algorithms have the potential to improve processes and be used in production, laboratory analysis and diagnostics.
I've considered adding a "just check the first {user-configged-bytes}" mode, which would offer enough of the speed up you describe, which I think jdupes does (maybe? It's been awhile since I looked at it). I think the speed of opening the file and reading the first buffered page of bytes would dominate the time of the operation, especially if one were to do async reads (which my program does NOT do. I should look into it.)

Worth some performance measurements, anyway!
Japan stuck in their ways. 150$ Xiaomi smart rice cooker that was comparable to highend Zojirushi had very friendly UI. You can get basics done fine with small on board oled, but a lot of it is behind smarthome app and appliance is soft region locked. An offline high performance rice cooker with good onboard UI... probably one of the Korean brands like Cuckoo but I've never used. SKR knows how to do decent hardware and software though.

> It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ. For example, people preoccupied with intellectual pursuits may spend less time than the average person on physical exercise and social interaction, both of which have been shown to have broad benefits for psychological and physical health.

But they dropped the ball between those two sentences in my opinion.
