Most psychedelics like MDMA or LSD are synthetic; there are only a few naturally occurring ones like psylocibin or LSA (the natural precursor to LSD) and most of them already have synthetic analogues. Many of them were made by pharma companies: Merck first synthesized MDMA over a century ago and patented several variants, long before anyone realized what it was good for.

The FDA grants forms of exclusivity other than patents which would apply and pharma has developed plenty of ways to modify molecules to repatent them like turning them into salts or hydrides, adding amino acid caps, creating alternative methods of application like nasal sprays, etc. It's actually really easy to do which is what led to the proliferation of "research chemicals" over the last twenty years.

There have been basically no engine development program ever that had no reliability issues. The big problem is the maintenance backlog. The A320 NEO btw has more then 1 engine option.
Agreed. I have another suggestion, which would require continuous investment of compute and (hopefully) not make things too much more complex:

Every N seconds, publish a "generation" string, randomly generated. This string must be prefixed to the nonce of the winner of the contest for [marquee, color, grid square].

When performing the "winner test" for new submissions, before the comparison to find out which is less, both the challenger and incumbent hashes are subject to the operation H << M where H is the hash and M is the age of their generation string (current = 0, previous = 1, second-previous = 2, etc.). This means incumbents weaken over time unless the incumbent's submitter continues to defend them by brute-forcing with newer published generation strings.

Since the hash (SHA256) is 256 bits, you'd need to keep 256 previous generation strings, and this could get a bit expensive for testing new submissions. But computers are pretty fast nowadays!

What Bizarre IT Setups Have You Seen? (2007)
Kick has the same cost or more then Twitch (they use the exact same infrastructure under the hood,it's a service sold by Amazone to Twitch and others).

They saved some cost on building the UI etc. by well semi-stealing it from Twitch after a leak but that's just a saving bootstrapping cost not long term operation cost.

When it comes to general advertisement friendliness they are far worse then Twitch, i.e. where Twitch struggles to sell AD slots Kick probably wouldn't even bother.

Like many other start up like companies Kick is not currently profitable and lives from investor capital hoping to make it through.

Kick is deeply intertwined with gambling and many streamers on it frequently are in legal gray area when it comes to gambling law in the EU, they tried to somewhat get way from it but AFIK failed for now.

Kick has many streamers which are often seen as ethical problematic, like being associated with neo-Nazis, making it a no go for most advertisers. But also many streamers stay away from it for that reason and also (maybe more so) the gambling reason.

So AFIK Kick isn't likely to make it longer, except maybe as legally and ethically questionable gambling paltform.

> is so broken

I would argue that it’s not that we’re bad at using tools that we designed for humans, but more that multiple shifts in the tech world over the last 50 years have intentionally (and unintentionally) broken those tools. AI does not need to use the tools at all, it knows the knowledge that the tools gate-keep and it can write code that does the data manipulation that underlies the most powerful software.

It essentially side-steps the whole mess that is the current tech industry (and to be honest a bunch of other industries).

I agree, and buildings need to be easily reconfigurable too.

I love the idea of modular buildings, but this doesn't quite seem to fit. The materials don't seem ideal for the wet climate, the manufacturing process seems expensive; either you buy or rent a cnc, or have panels manufactured 'locally' then trucked. And the fact that it's precision cnc suggests this is really not modular at all, but custom designed.

Steel frame, and panels in standard sizes, eg steel sip, or home-poured foam-concrete, would be cheap, reusable/recycleable, modular etc. Maybe ugly too, but then mount a nice wood, stone-veneer, or enamel rain screen/siding, and interior paneling.

You mention curing alcoholism, but my casual observation is that there is almost always a history of psychosocial trauma, likely with residual PTSD, that leads to substance abuse.

The ibogaine treatment very likely allowed individuals to move past their traumatic experience and no longer had a reason to self-medicate.

Or perhaps if you're prioritizing things other than maximally efficient use of materials? It seems like they're prioritizing standardization, especially of methods, more than almost anything else.

AFAICT we have far more excess material than excess labor, so it doesn't seem particularly crazy to me?
It depends. Sometimes it feels like a pain (which coincides with fewer reps to fatigue etc.). Sometimes I get a buzz. Body isn’t in the same “mood” every time. And I space out sessions.
well, no magic, goal reached.

However, the current implementation of error handling is atrocious.

If Go would take sum types and question marks from Rust, Go would keep the general error handling strategy and philosophy with the difference of being way less verbose and more ergonomic.
The Pharmacopoia shows that it's easy to control quality of natural drugs - maximum acceptable level of contaminants or adulterants, minimum level of active principle (nowadays with HPLC). It's just that the feeble government can't rouse itself to enforce truth-in-advertising standards.

In general, the way you output errors to the client and the errors you log are two totally different things. This is a slight tweak from the problem the author is attempting to solve by letting the client see the error.

Like the author, I created a special error interface I can look for when returning client errors: https://github.com/Xeoncross/public-error-go
A paraphrased recap:

1. Conasg: Taking huge amounts of copyrighted material without consent and selling access to it seems illegal.

2. Intrasight: Humans learn from copyrighted material all the time, and indirectly profit from it, so why can't the AI?

3. Me: Some of the stuff the software is being used to do would still copyright infringement even if you had teams of humans (inefficiently) doing it instead.
> render everything inside a <canvas/> and avoid all of the "build an application on top of a document format" crap that makes web apps so weird to make.

We tried this with flash already. It has the same issues. Browsers provide _a lot more_ than just rendering your html+css. There are cases where it makes sense, but generally, it's a terrible idea. It will be like trying to make a visual novel using youtube in-video links.
I suppose all I'm asking if there is consensus that is universally good or not. In the goal of eliminating PTSD it clearly seems worth it, but do we think that something that can very quickly "make people re-evaluate their feelings about everything" has zero negative consequences?
Yeah, the whole design of Firebase is that the client interacts directly with Firebase, not via your server. Which makes sense for auth since you don't want to be handling that manually, but the database? That makes me uneasy.

Who do you think the NTSB are?

The NTSB is staffed with people familiar with the industry - it has to be. Thus, a significant portion of these people are former Boeing employees. And historically, many NTSB staff have gone to work for Boeing (and other industry giants) after their stint at the NTSB as well. It's not that large of an industry after all. This is known as the Revolving Door.
On the contrary, it makes a significant difference. Futures have to roll over monthly and there's costs associated with that. Depending on the slope of the futures curve, the costs can be high (10+%). Holding spot bitcoin solves this problem and makes the fund more palatable to advisors and institutions.

One definition of potency is how little mass it takes to do its thing, whatever that is. Fentanyl is a potent drug, LSD is a potent psychedelic. That resolves the dichotomy.

There’s a second, softer connotation, of how strong it is in light of whatever other limits may exist. Mescaline is less potent in this way, not just because of the larger mass, but because a dose that’s going to blast you into another realm is going to be much harder on you than some other psychedelics.

Ibogaine (haven’t done it) is very potent by this meaning. Very long, intense trips are possible.
For more crucial PII (such as SSN, health data, payment info, etc), vendors are generally required to have certifications from a third-party auditor (such as SOC2). If the big companies fail to check that, then yes, they can be made liable.
Ask HN: Is it time to break up Amazon?
With Prime Video now stuffing ads into videos unless you pay an extra $2.99 a month, I'm wondering how this is not a classic anti-trust issue.

After becoming the dominant logistics / hard goods player, they long ago bundled Video with that completely unrelated shipping benefits offering, and increased the price modestly.

That seemed egregious enough, but now they are essentially diminishing the value of the product to their gain or forcing people to pony up a large percentage of the membership price to avoid the diminished experience, else give up the shipping benefits atogether.

Shouldn't the DOJ be stepping in to look at, among other things, the unbundling of different services? Why aren't their pure streaming competitors complaining?

I'm shocked it's not profitable. I've watched a person close to me spend $100/mo buying bits and get back nothing more than a few reaction emotes and jumpscares. Twitch's take on that is 50% isn't it? How on earth is it not profitable running a marketplace with those parameters and so many whales spending compulsively for a few seconds of attention from their favourite streamer?

A number of replies are wondering if I am misunderstanding bitcoin’s UTXO model. Considering the amount of replies I’m going to assume that is the case :). Thanks to most of you for your kind replies!

With that being said I’m still confused about how blockchain.com is representing this data. Consider block 825075 on the bitcoin blockchain.

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/blocks/btc/825075?page=1...

Not all of the transactions in this block show with multiple outputs where one output is the originating address. In fact if you sort by value ascending you’ll be able to see multiple transactions from the same address to the same address amount to $.13 with fees $2.86 transaction ids 78b1741ee0946380d9ee31d51d160a637394b24b5cfdc2871861d8e1db484d2f and 201a94087323d152911575ea029df9d1a0d46626a1b18211727be913d747e72f and so on.

It looks like "Warriors and Worriers" by Joyce Benenson came out in 2014, but has mostly gone under the radar until being noticed by a couple of the GMU crowd such as Arnold Kling (https://www.econlib.org/library/columns/y2023/klinggender.ht...) and Robin Hanson (https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/women-as-worriers-who-exclu...).

I've just started reading the book, and what immediately strikes you is that clarity of the prose, and the fact that the author is willing to say "I believe" about their conclusions. "I think" is often a hedge, but "I believe" shows that the author is willing to stake their positions on a contentious topic - in contrast to the usual academic writing style, which pretends a fake objectivity with no subject.

I've seen many many firebase projects with rules disabling access only if "auth != null" instead of implementing some kind of even rudimentary access controls. It's a very dangerous habit that seems to come straight from the firebase docs[1]:
