I was quite astonished and impressed (as I thought about it) the first time I saw two fricken payment terminals at one cash register (Aldi Süd, Germany). Around COVID time, people started to pay more often by card, and someone at Aldi realized pretty quickly how they could use that to improve efficiency.

There are obviously some ugly failure cases, but they don't pay those high salaries to get dummies who couldn't handle that.
What's frustrating is that Ibogaine has been known about for a long time. I remember reading, 20 years ago, about how Ibogaine had cured some people of alcoholism. It was all anecdotal at the time, but clearly there's something worth studying.

I understand the hesitancy around drugs, but we've lost so much progress as a result of the bureaucratic red tape.
It's hard to find good or consistent stats on this but I believe most cases are not from work at all. IIRC the most common causes are sexual assault, car crashes, and child abuse.

I was about to say the same thing! Hands of the Emperor is a 950-page fantasy doorstopper with no action, no romance, not a whole lot of throughline plot, and it's the most gripping thing I've read in years. You just want to keep watching these people live out their lives, whether or not something objectively exciting is happening. It's genuinely changed what I want out of fantasy and sci-fi.

It has a utopian vibe, like Monk and Robot. The world of Zunidh isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn good and getting better, mostly because of the determined, lifelong work of the protagonist and his friends. Kip is the most delightful bureaucrat I can recall seeing in fiction.

Goddard's other books don't always follow the same formula, though they're rarely truly grim. There's more adventure, sometimes violence but not usually large-scale violence. Some are better than others, but they're all very charming IMO.
It’s also worth noting the study size was only 30 veterans. All of them special forces apparently, which probably introduces a lot of other factors. Plus several participants failed to complete baseline or follow up work.

Regardless, hopefully studied further in the future (legally)!
I've been watching Twitch less and less over the years as the site has slowly drifted away from its original purpose and become more and more infested with boring IRL streams and e-girls who only use it to advertise their onlyfans, effectively driving traffic off site (and who are, for some reason, allowed to stream half naked on a site full of children).

I wonder if it's just me, or if this is part of the reason for the userbase's stagnation.
> People say this all the time, but why don't they say that about videogames? or actual mining?

The difference is that, for videogames or mining physical rocks, the power use is an undesired side effect, so the incentive is to minimize it, while for POW cryptocurrencies, the power use is an essential component of the mechanism they use to prevent double spending, and the incentive is to use as much as possible.
There's a reason for that. If civilian PTSD were more widely acknowledged, insurance would be paying out more and people would want employers to do something about high-stress jobs.

You're right, most people just need basic word search and replace, which pretty much any text editor supports.

Red flags:

1) Price seems too low for unlimited LLM usage and there's no monthly fee... so maybe you are the product?

2) Website has no information on the people behind this.

3) In the keynote, the demo of logging into to other services like Spotify appears to just be stealing the auth tokens from the laptop and shipping them to the R1 device. Not a good sign.

4) The founder's voice-over insists that "we value privacy" and "we do not hack" and "we do not create fake users." Protests too much?

5) They're not really addressing the trust-building necessary to convince people to use this like a personal assistant. It's waaaay too opaque.

Neat product, though. Maybe they're just launching super early, nothing is figured out yet, the website isn't done, etc.

It depends on context really. Which as someone on the spectrum (childhood diagnosis, not adult) has always presented its challenges and its why I personally have erred on the side of caution. I would not personally approach a woman for instance in an instance in which she is engaged in her employment activities and im interacting as a customer/vendor/partner whatever. However it's not unfeasible that it is my feelings on the matter that are abnormal so perhaps i've been going about it all wrong.

I'd simply never want to make somebody feel uncomfortable because I choose a time that is not appropriate for such interactions. And for me, that pretty much means that unless we are sharing personal time together outside of such a relationship, then I don't engage in such activities.
That doesn't work when you channel hop on a regular basis.
> I've been to some wind farms, they are much less disruptive to the environment than the nuclear reactors I can only see from a distance. Sheep grazing under and around them, for a start.

I have a crypto debit card I can fund as needed and spend anywhere. In fact for me it’s faster and easier than any bank. It can be sent to anyone in the world and with a stack of a few different crypto debit cards can be spent immediately in pretty much any country in the world with their local currency. Yes currently the exchange fees are not great on those cards for exchanging to fiat, but the trend is down and improving.
Every time I need to use google to change settings in app like facebook I constantly wonder about that. Where is my ai assistant when I'm just gonna tell him what I want?

Same reason why you might prefer to use an app over a website in general. I use PWAs a lot on Windows, and for me the single biggest benefit is that they don't clutter my browser tabs, but instead show up as separate icons that I can Alt+Tab to, see in taskbar along with their notifications, move and resize the window as I see fit etc. Sure, I could also run them in separate browser windows, but then window management gets much messier.
Corporations love the tale of resilience.

You'll have evil corp pushing their employees to the max. Then HR sends an email "we care about your mental health", which includes a link to an e-course on meditation.

They do not care about your mental health because they don't spent a second addressing the root cause of the overload of stress.

All of society now has this fatalism built in. The believe that we can fix problems and improve life for all is largely gone. Instead, the energy is that we accept that the future is bleak, make no effort to change it, expect things to perpetually get even worse, and somehow at an individual level try to find some marginal happiness within this reality we see as a given.

I'm personally not as pessimistic as the above suggests, just saying this is the culture.

I've worked for a major streaming company and with several other major streaming companies (including Twitch); I'd like to think I have a pretty good understanding of streaming costs.

> Youtube (very profitable)

The "very" part is probably not true, and that's with Google's massive advertising empire behind it. There's a good reason why Google is going so hard at anti-adblocker initiatives.

You can't run a profitable video streaming service with "just throw the video on a CDN" as the strategy, you have to be the CDN because at the scale you're operating at, you'll be murdered by external CDN costs.

But you're also correct that Twitch's content makes it incredibly hard to serve cheaply. Same reason why Mixer (competitor by Microsoft) folded so quickly and Facebook Gaming and Youtube Streaming have been neglected projects since launch.

There's only two viable video streaming business models right now: your content is essentially free (TikTok/Snap/Instagram), or your bandwidth is essentially free (HBO before the divorce with AT&T, maybe Comcast-Peacock+). Netflix sorta had near free content for a while before the studios cut them off.

I think Amazon was betting that AWS efficiencies could push Twitch into profitability, guess not.
So does a lobotomy. Has side effects though . . .

Point being, there's a reason we study these things at trial in a scientific manner and consider long term effects.
Yes, and it's also worth noting that DSM5 has some pretty loose wording with PTSD diagnostic criteria. Not even saying that as a bad thing, more to say that a lot more people (diagnostically) likely have PTSD without realizing it.
It also probably wouldn't cost "no subscription" with a cloud-based AI, so what gives?
Why would Firefox have to "rollback" their UA string back to version 64, released 6 years ago (2018)? That seems utterly ridiculous for a server side UA sniffing bug rolled out by the Google Search Team.
They may have been paying for subscriptions, bit rewards/redemptions, prime, etc. Ads are only one source of Twitch's revenue.

Twitch started showing a purple "disable your ad blocker" screen when a block of ads failed to run. I think they probably would have made a lot more money and reduced a lot of churn by simply advertising Turbo instead, which many users don't even know is an option.

Right, I figured you can place it on a CDN carefully, but it's not nearly as easy as with non-live video which I'd describe more as "throwing" it on there. And even with the complex infra already built, it must be still more expensive to operate. Everything you cache is only good for 10-15s.
harangue. / (həˈræŋ) / verb. to address (a person or crowd) in an angry, vehement, or forcefully persuasive way.

I don't see how this applies, especially since if anything it is other people who are engaged in persuasion, and experiencing anger or other negative emotions. I am sincere in that I believe that truth matters, and should at least be taken into consideration.

Seriously, what is the big issue with disagreeing with the crowd, without applying speculative subjective framing to the situation?
It’s too bad they are so unimaginative when it comes to that. I mean at the very least they should hand controls to the streamer to run an ad: right now it’s the algorithm that does it.

Also they should primarily look at other ways to monetize. Subs are still the best way, but not everyone has that kind of money.

One other big problem is that there former heads just didn’t get streamers and they ran a lot of big ones out of the building. One streamer with a crazy amount of paid members was treated poorly in an amateurish way.

I think they have new management now which at least seem to be a bit more in tune with what streamers needs are and some of the painpoints.

If you only want to listen to advertising channels, it is trivial because this is the norm - this is how connections are established. If you want to listen in on data channels you'll need an SDR with a lot of bandwidth or 40 receivers to cover every channel. If you want to monitor a single connection, you can channel-hop with it in the same sequence, but if you miss out on the connection establishment message, you'll not know the channel hopping sequence and not manage.

I think this kind of thing is far far overblown, for the vast majority of streamers these kinds of "internet discourse" dramas don't affect them in any meaningful way. Internet drama is just fuel for the blogspam.

It's all money anything else is rage baiting, kick's pull is the revenue split they'll never be able to maintain if they reach critical mass and the policies that get streamers to leave are the ad/revenue split changes.
Why does “content is essentially free” apply to TikTok and not Twitch?
The anti work subreddit was founded by people who were truly anti work. It was then co-opted by people in low and middle wage jobs venting about poor working conditions exacerbated by the pandemic.

While most people probably want a demilitarization of police forces, some people truly want a policefree state.

One thing I definitely didn’t need any more of back then was glamorized systems of financial predation and exploitation targeting me because of it. There’s no version of the world where the cryptocurrency ecosystem as it actually is, rather than how it is idealized to be, would have made my plight better had it existed at the time.

In any case, it still seems like a non-sequitur.

I’m just laughing at the premise that the many, many, many billion dollar investments and valuations of cryptocurrency firms, and the unending deluge of fraud and scams they reliably leave in their wake is meaningfully offset by the total amount of money transacted in the niche of homeless friends who need fast cash from their wealthy friend who is half way around the world outside of normal business hours.

Fish ladders are expensive and have a fairly large negative impact on yearly electric output. Forcing upgrades makes most dams too expensive, which would mean they get replaced by fossil fueled power plants which can more cheaply operate as backup for wind and solar.

As a result, most hydro power in Europe is in direct violation of environmental laws, but are also given exceptions given the yearly and regular energy crisis.

> Fatalities Temporally Associated with the Ingestion of Ibogaine

> Abstract: Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive plant alkaloid that is used globally in medical and nonmedical settings for opioid detoxification and other substance use indications. All available autopsy, toxicological, and investigative reports were systematically reviewed for the consecutive series of all known fatalities outside of West Central Africa temporally related to the use of ibogaine from 1990 through 2008. Nineteen individuals (15 men, four women between 24 and 54 years old) are known to have died within 1.5–76 h of taking ibogaine. The clinical and postmortem evidence did not suggest a characteristic syndrome of neurotoxicity. Advanced preexisting medical comorbidities, which were mainly cardiovascular, and/or one or more commonly abused substances explained or contributed to the death in 12 of the 14 cases for which adequate postmortem data were available. Other apparent risk factors include seizures associated with withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines and the uninformed use of ethnopharmacological forms of ibogaine.
