One of the main card processor (Cardnet) was down for about 7h, and it's the 3rd time in recent years (happened twice in 2017 and 2019 per the article).

This is a big deal, while still being limited (there's other card payment processors) and less impacting than if it happened in more card centric countries.

Many people solely rely on cash and prepaid electronic wallets, which are more widely accepted than credit card (one can easily find a small shop that only accepts cash and PayPay or Suica, with no intent to ever accept credit card)
To clear up the dissonance, I interpret that "Side effect" does not mean "Unintended consequence" in this case, it means "Not the root cause of brain changes". Sure, I intended to trip, but the trip was caused by something deeper.

As in: "The nice fuzzy warm feeling of sitting around a fire is a side effect of self-sustaining exothermic oxidization of organic volatiles in dried wood"

Of course I made a fire for the warmth on my face / clothes. It's just the warmth I feel is a side effect of a deeper process where the heat sustains the reaction. It just so happens I'm around to harvest some of the waste heat.
Even for technical people setting up a pihole seems like a goat rope.

It seems like some of the benefits from psychedelics come from allowing people to process trauma, and negative feelings. They find much stronger benefits when patients are guided through integrating the experience with therapy.

I would say this can happen without hallucinations, e.g. PTSD patients find they are no longer afraid to process trauma on MDMA and can revisit painful experiences. However, there also seem to be cases, particularly with psilocybin, where the hallucinations themselves are obviously providing the patient a new story or framework to think about something troubling, e.g. the cancer patient who comes to terms with death in a new way, and has a story about the process. So I don’t think the answer is so cut and dry- it depends on the drug and the patient.
There is a general principle behind doing new stuff.

Any training that moves metabolism and nervous system from homeostasis (dynamic equilibrium) to allostasis (stability through variation and predictive regulation) is good. This is known phenomenon in sports. You must cycle through different training regimes in weightlifting and endurance if you want to keep improving.

Try juggling, learning an instrument, waking backwards, standing in one feet, everything seems to work for as long as you still struggling to learn. It becomes homeostatic state when it is effortless and you must increase difficulty.
As someone living and working in Germany I call this numbers unrealistic. People with 10-15 years of experience earn something around 60-70k gross here. FAANG and CTOs may earn more, but it's rare
I used to design low-precision hardware to train AIs.

> The actually important thing is (a) getting a result out, and (b) being able to nudge the weights to get the result closer to what you want

That is accurate.

> That doesn't have to be built on "math" or "numbers" but could be built on bits directly so long as the operations satisfy the goals

Some people have published research where the parameters or activations are binary, sometimes in a stochastic fashion. Typically either the AI doesn't converge or it converges to a rather suboptimal solution.

Also, just because the weights or activations are binary it doesn't mean there's no math involved. You need some sort of a mathematical model to figure out how to tweak the parameters of the model in order to improve its fitness to the data.
Thanks! As mentioned in another comment, currently there is no build in support for this yet.

As a workaround one could use a service like ScrapingBee (not affiliated) as a proxy, that renders the page in a browser for you.

Surely, relying on a service for this is not always ideal. I am also working on a small wrapper that turns Chrome into an HTTPS proxy, which you could plug right into flyscrape. Unfortunately it is very experimental still and not public yet. I have not yet decided if I release it as part of flyscrape or as a separate project.
Good luck having your APK service bundled with virtually every Android device.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this. The burden to support the 0.7.1 should be on those that pushed it into general availability instead of expected the rest of community to develop a code generator + optimiser for an overcome draft and maintain package repos etc. targeting only one vendors CPU core.

Looks like I misread it. While the Actor model was conceived before Erlang, the Erlang actor model was developed in parallel. It isn’t a pure implementation of Actors (everything is an Actor, making it closer fo Smalltalk). Only processes are Actors. It also implies that Akka is not a true Actor model as conceived in the originao ‘73 paper.

This goes into greater detail on the history: https://www.labouseur.com/courses/erlang/history-of-erlang-a...

In any case, there are not many contemporary systems that uses these ideas.

Odd take, golang was designed by Google for their needs. It has very little uptake amongst hobbyist devs and is nearly entirely used by professional devs. In my experience hobbyist devs focus primarily on javascript/python.
Nowadays it should be more seameless, but yes a while ago foreign credit cards were a PITA to use in most places. And there's still many services that aren't set to trigger 3Dsecure at payment, making EU cards virtually unusable.

I also believe it’s the duration of use and not the concentration of use that plays more a role here. Being a heavy smoker for 4 years isn’t the same mentally as someone who smoked normally for 20 years. I think past the 10 year mark and your brain has suffered damage to the point where the addiction becomes life. However, in about 10% of cases, smokers who quit were able to because the effects of nicotine addiction hadn’t taken hold. Much like some people feel nothing from taking cocaine.

IANAE though.

Either way. I was a smoker but not a heroin user and quitting was the hardest thing for me. It took me almost a month to feel normal.
> You could give me my antidepressants while I was under and when I woke up they would still work the same because it's a physiological change.

I don't like this description because it implies a kind of mind-body dualism. Conscious processing also induces physiological changes, they're just of a different kind than the action of antidepressants. Your conclusion is basically correct though, that the conscious experience of psychedelics must be a critical component of their effectiveness.
Indeed. He had an ounce of U-47700, a synthetic opioid equivalent to about half a pound of morphine. With intent to distribute. And this is not his first prison sentence for distribution. I think opioid dealers are a different and worse class of dealers compared to, say, MDMA. That's a personal opinion. At any rate, he's paying for that crime, and when he's done he'll return to a normal life, hopefully, and I'll wish him well. Until then, he should be honest about who he is—or was—before his supposed epiphany.

It's possible, but I like to think I'm a pretty experienced drug user (I estimate that I've tried maybe 10-20 different psychedelics, maybe 30-40 times in total) and this has been a consistent hallmark effect of all psychedelics for me.

I will leave you with this quote by John Erlichman:

"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities, (...) We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

And, because everything is complicated, the family denies it all:

The 1994 alleged ‘quote’ we saw repeated in social media for the first time today does not square with what we know of our father. And collectively, that spans over 185 years of time with him,” the Ehrlichman family wrote. “We do not subscribe to the alleged racist point of view that this writer now implies 22 years following the so-called interview of John and 16 years following our father’s death, when dad can no longer respond. None of us have raised our kids that way, and that’s because we were not raised that way.”

I like web scraping in Go. The support for parsing HTML in x/text/html is pretty good, and libraries like github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery go a long way to matching ergonomics in other tools. This project uses both, but then also goes on to use github.com/dop251/goja, which is a JavaScript VM and it's accompanying nodejs compatability layer and even esbuild, in order to interpret scraping instruction scripts.

I mean, at this point I am not sure Go is the right tool for the job (I am actually pretty confident that it is not).

A pretty neat stack of engineering, sure! This is cool, niely done. But I can't help but feel disturbed.
I rather have Apple do their stuff, than update my CV to state ChromeOS instead of Web.

It also helps that I left my FOSS zealot stuff, writing emails with M$ on the signature, around 2000.

We went to one for the free resort tickets while on vacation. Like other commenters here, it went on a lot longer than I wanted.

Though keep in mind that a given PDF might not embed the font that it uses (the PDF creator might not even have the legal right to embed whatever font they're using), so opening a PDF on other machines can cause them to be messed up if those machines don't have the correct fonts installed.

If the property gets inherited, then wouldn't any obligation for maintenance payments exist purely as an encumbrance on the property? Like if the claim to the property is transferred via operation of law or even deed of executor, the recipient hasn't entered into any contract to make ongoing payments. Meaning if they don't pay, the worst that can happen is the property gets foreclosed upon? Or is there some other legal aspect I'm missing?
I can think of at least 2 more implementations besides the official one. So I'd have to assume that the misinformation you speak of us coming from you

You have zero desire to smoke or vape now but the usual way is you end up having a strong craving for your preferred mode of delivery (gum in your case) when it’s not available and then attempt another one to tide you through till your order gets here. Now you have two modes of delivery.
Agree, pretty much everything has some medical value.

I suspect though that when most people use the term, they mean "contemporary groupthink medical practices would use this clinically." IMHO they should pick a new term since this one has prima facie meaning, but alas
It’s some strange bias that lets people get worked up about this one already-convicted dealer but pass over in silence the pharmaceutical companies that designed these opioids to be so addictive and marketed them so aggressively so that doctors would over-prescribe them.

Since almost no one could use the app (too many people, and not enough quota from OpenAI), I added a $1.99 one-time payment per audit. This would probably decrease the number of users and also help cover the insanely high costs.

This is exactly what you do in therapy too. I think psychedelics freak people out more because they feel less in control, not realizing they can control the variables that lead to an overwhelming/bad trip.

I see there's little Grace in the way how anyone directly involved is living. Though everyone is trying to fight against problems .. they're under-resourced to solve them. So the grace of trying is masked by the overt signs of failing.

The Sanitary conditions are pretty bad .. though it's a major city with ERs, plus counseling and some low cost or free shelter.

Not necessarily in this alley situation: The people who tip negatively on the hygiene scale, and have open wounds festering are disturbing. They have in my experience mental health issues which are complex to treat, legally and otherwise practically.

I don't fault him for this: I assume that's just what he learned at home. The ultimate lesson I take from this thread is that people's preferences in this matter are all over the place, and if you want to be a leader (as opposed to, say, a manager), you have to be able to be flexible in your approach. It's a matter of picking the right tool for the job.

Since this tech lead and I are both (relatively) mature adults, eventually I simply told him he needed to be more direct with me if he wanted me to understand him, he said that he was not entirely comfortable with that but he would try, and we got by well enough after that.
I was in Tokyo a few months ago and I could pay with my foreign credit card in most stores (supermarkets, department stores, chain stores, ...) Even NFC and Google Pay worked, which still don't in Korea for instance.

The Tokyo Metro booth at Haneda doesn't accept credit cards though, I had to withdraw cash in order to get a Pasmo (the JR booth was already closed for the evening).

At restaurants, cafés and small stores it was usually either cash only, or cash plus a combination among the dozen mobile payments solutions that exist in Japan. Very confusing.
Does snus have much flavor? I've wondered if the psychological part of nicotine addiction is much stronger when there's a smell/taste association with the drug effect. (I'm not a smoker, just seen a couple hints suggesting this.)

I worked at one place where we had to deal with a lot of off-hours on call issues. Our manager focused on quick resolution and never let it escalate past her. Most of the time she wanted us to simply reboot service or server. Never had time to find root cause.

It happened a lot affecting our personal lives significantly, waking up in the middle of night just to reboot/restart some service.

Over time, the whole team started ignoring on-call alerts, and worked real slow. Pretending that our internet was down or laptop is not booting up. Longer it took to resolve alerts, our automated systems would start sending alerts to higher up in the chain. Also it started to impact our SLA and other metrics.

Finally, they decided to allocate resources to fix and stabilize the system.

Knowing the majority of the NES > N64 Nintendo back catalog is coming at a reasonable pace would be a reason to subscribe to their online service, assuming it is all available at the base sub price.
