>>>BASEL, Switzerland – When Kevin Herbert has a particularly intractable programming problem, or finds himself pondering a big career decision, he deploys a powerful mind expanding tool – LSD-25.

"It must be changing something about the internal communication in my brain. Whatever my inner process is that lets me solve problems, it works differently, or maybe different parts of my brain are used, " said Herbert, 42, an early employee of Cisco Systems who says he solved his toughest technical problems while tripping to drum solos by the Grateful Dead – who were among the many artists inspired by LSD.

"When I'm on LSD and hearing something that's pure rhythm, it takes me to another world and into anther brain state where I've stopped thinking and started knowing," said Herbert who intervened to ban drug testing of technologists at Cisco Systems.

A refinement of the thought, then, would be to install a small modular nuclear reactor to power desalination plants to replenish the freshwater when needed. Panama City must also be threatened if the lake level is that low.
The FedEx driver for my route misdelivers constantly. I get deliveries for my house number but three streets away (1234 Foo St. instead of 1234 Bar Dr.) just about every couple of weeks. I've spoken to the driver and to customer support, but it still keeps happening.

I now know that "neighbor" and get greeted with a laugh every time I swing by to drop off their packages.
Whenever I try one of these apps I'm always impressed by the features but my entire life is in iCloud.

Not only that but all the people I connect with for notes/calendars/reminders are also in the Apple ecosystem and they aren't going to switch for me. This means that a lot of the extra features that Notion, Obsidian, etc. offer just aren't valuable for me.

It makes me annoyed that Apple's Notes app is so basic.
Truly amazing. Is it really all AI? Excellent prompting at the least. Highly recommend. And its a quick watch.
My dad's train club, and most of the others I'm aware of, have had modular set ups for about 40 years. They pick a standard for module sizes and where the track connections need to be, and then everyone can design their own module as they like.
When I explained how money works to my younger brother after having it explained to me by actual drunk guys who work at Goldman (it’s basically impossible to get the truth any other way as far as I know), his reply was:

“You mean to tell me that the IRS is a gold sink?!”

“Well, actually that’s a pretty good analogy, the difference is… well… that’s a pretty good analogy!”
That’s not fair though because it takes a few weeks for a broker to close on a mortgage whereas a cash buyer can pay immediately.

If the amounts are small, don’t bother lending to the company. Just make a capital contribution.

Loans must be interest-bearing. This makes your life as an entrepreneur more complex. Your tax return and the corporate tax return will cost more to prepare.

Optimize for simplicity in legal structure, bookkeeping, and tax return preparation.

(1) Why corporation?

(2) Why C corporation?

(3) Unless you’re injecting multiple millions of your own money into your new venture, whatever perceived tax benefit you can imagine will be dwarfed by the overhead and cognitive opportunity cost of getting clever.

(4) If you add investors, the first thing they’ll want to do is clear all the bullshit off your balance sheet. Why add it in the first place?

Just contribute capital, unless you can think of a damn good reason to do otherwise.

You need real tax advice. Go get some.

"Needs to die" is a bit harsh but there are alternatives that are better and more secure. If you're just a regular sysadmin and only want to spend 8-9 hours a day at work you might just use a WAF instead and deal with the lost performance/added cost.
You don't need to go to an unthreaded format, with all the attendant clutter and such, to do that. All you have to do is bubble up threads that have had recent messages to the top. That's why HN doesn't (or at least shouldn't) try something like that: it wouldn't be "Hacker News" anymore, so much as "Hacker Gossip" or whatev.

The difference is Nintendo builds their own killer apps exclusively for the hardware that they choose, so they can guarantee a good experience regardless of the performance level. Steam Deck doesn't have any native games. It's all games written for other platforms first and if the chip's performance doesn't meet a minimum bar then it just won't work.

> I suggest people pick up the book "Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive 978-0593241318" as it does a much better job at explaining these systems then my short paragraph.

I read that book just a few weeks ago and I don't recall reading anything about the stuff you mentioned.

The book is amazing though.
So my experience is that only 1 out of about 1000 times have my deliveries taken more than next day when it says next day, and almost everything I order has a next day option. So is this a locality issue, or just two competing anecdotes, and if its anecdotes then what is the actual statistical reality.
> it can have someone connect to the truck remotely

This is covered in TFA, and noted that one cannot rely on wireless connectivity along all highways. Certainly not immediate responses, and doubly-so when the vehicle may be in a deadzone; either a natural one or one caused by overloading the local towers (such as one might find at a remote accident with lots of other motorists) will do.
How would you make sure only experienced devs sign up?

> enabling merchants to give estimated delivery dates to customers during shopping and ordering

It’ll be a new era when FedEx can give accurate delivery estimates. Last time I recall paying for next day delivery and wondering how my package will traverse all of Canada in that time. I then watched the delivery estimate update to “tomorrow” every day for a week until it finally delivered.
I agree with you.

Large corporate structures diffuse both responsibility and ability for coherent action.

Dealing with a corporation is like trying to communicate with some neurons in a brain. You might encounter helpful units, but the total sum of units operates at completely different levels.

C level execs deal with many issues directly, but inevitably have to delegate (to many levels) most of what they are responsible for. The ability of corporations to multitask in the thousands of threads (human tasks) comes with a price of lost coherence.

The structure of an organization becomes the overriding entity, one without any moral impulses, and highly insensitive to the details of myriads of problematic exceptional situations that individually seem very simple to solve.

But all the exception handling required to properly handle every problematic event would turn the organization to goo.

Especially talented & moral leaders can make a huge difference, bending the organization to prioritize a few important issues over others. But even they can’t close the gap overall.

And of course, many successful leaders we might think of as normal healthy people as individuals, are not the unusually talented moral leaders needed to deal with this complexity.
It is the phase relationships for sure!

Those are what places everything. Well, most everything. Frequency response changes do it too.

Front/Back for example. Frequency response curves are very different.

If the overall EQ is close, it all seems to work. But moving stuff has a tighter tolerance from what I remember.
I don't really see where I've made such an assumption, but okay. I never implied public sentiment should be the only, or even a primary factor in funding decisions, only that considering it in a case like this where there are literally thousands of people who signed a petition for it might make sense.

Do you mean in 1974 it was quiet? I tried to Google for any evidence of this and I can find nothing.
I've always generally disliked this thesis because it feels wishy-washy, and, also, pharmaceuticals that suppress inflammation don't increase longevity by any appreciable amount, and pharmaceuticals that increase longevity don't act directly on inflammatory markers (metformin et al).

It all feels geared towards selling you a very vague promise of health and longevity through some obscure supplement or medication.
Would you have a physicist would self-taught medicine as your doctor? Of course not.

While a scientific or engineering background might demonstrate capability to understand another scientific field, that doesn’t replace the near decade of education people in that field have.

That's a fair concern. In actual usage, however, the vast majority of hallucination (>90%) tends to be:

- phantom tables and columns, in which case the query will fail

- incorrect syntax for date functions (i.e. the wrong flavor of SQL)

And we tend to see less of this type of hallucination when there are lots of example SQL queries that have been "trained" into the RAG system.
Science isn't the memorization of facts. To graduate from Harvard, you must actually understand how to do science at a high level. Many of those skills transfer between subjects. Having a physics degree might not make you a great biologist, but it's also not nothing.

I doubt more than a tiny fraction of the 10,000 people who signed this petition could tell you how rapamycin works (the Dog Aging Project is currently studying whether rapamycin extends the lives of dogs).

I'm going to venture a guess that logistics is far more difficult than ecommerce, and that Shopify buying FedEx would be far worse than FedEx venturing into ecommerce.

FedEx/UPS + Costco + Home Depot is a fascinating anti-Amazon.

Unfortunately, Home Depot probably wouldn't be interested. They're doing their thing, have their own extremely efficient behind-the-scenes logistics system, and largely specialize in markets that Amazon isn't interested in. (Some consumer overlap, but Home Depot's bread and butter is non-consumer stuff)

Costco... what would be in it for them? Do they want to move more items / have more members? I guess so? Not sure if they're volume constrained and what their logistics flows look like.

But store-picked + shipper-delivered seems interesting. Costco assembles orders overnight, then truck stops by in morning on way to deliveries and loads. Customers get next day delivery within range of a Costco.
This doesn't work if you use utf-8 instead of ascii.
Because people are emotional and don't respond to statistics like that. 2 planes crashed over a single, critical software usability defect. Now Boeing is a complete trash company and is doing many things wrong. Airbus is perfect and does nothing wrong. With such a small sample size, it could very well be that Airbus is much worse than Boeing. But that's just not how people will perceive it. These businesses know that and know they need absolute perfection.
I've been using 'build' as in, 'build a dataset'. I think it gets the same idea across without being as easy to confuse with fine-tuning.
Runtime model is not clear.

Like my Sciter is an embeddable multiplatform HTML/CSS/JS UI engine. You create your native app using PL of your choice and create HTML/CSS/JS window[s] using Sciter API calls. So it is HTML/CSS/JS UI layer for native applications. And then you put that app in app stores...

And now about EXT ...

What does it mean "desktop software" in EXT context?

Am I right that this is about creating Google Chrome Webviews in detached (non-tabs) windows? So the desktop software require Chrome to work, right?
> Last year I was in a mall where they had a Tesla store and it was emitting a horrible high pitched sound.

Some malls do that deliberately to get rid of teenagers.
The cynic in me says that it was only a matter of time until someone tried to wrap an app store around what's left of the open internet.

And the programmer in me feels confused that the 5 minutes of copy&paste for configuring GitHub actions to build and host your cross-platform app bothered anyone strongly enough to invest time into developing a replacement. My experience with Electron was that it already is batteries included and has great documentation and tutorials. That's a high bar to exceed.

But then the cynic chimes in again to point out that easy initial setup would be crucial if your goal was to spam app stores with extremely low effort wrappers around web content ... like what all those "get rich with iOS apps" courses were shilling 5 years ago.

Again, so what? I'm not suggesting this be a major factor. If there's better data indicating that 10,000 people are full of shit, then fine, go with that. But, it's pretty clear in a case like this that the 10,000 people does indicate a much larger interest. Almost half of American households have dogs these days. It's not a big stretch to imagine most of them would want their dogs to live longer and be healthier into old age.
I did my own estimate ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38997124 ) via a different method, before reading down to yours, and got ~450MWh of energy needed - which is close enough to your 521MWh that I'm pretty happy.

AMD tend to have better paper specs but worse drivers/software; it's been like that for decades. At least they're now acknowledging that the state of their software is the problem, but I haven't seen anything to give me confidence that they're actually going to fix it this time.
You know of couples who talk about how their partners aren't their first choice openly or how they think other people are more attractive? If it exists it's incredibly rare.
This is a weird post. Could any highly industrialised nation build a new freight network today? Probably not. Mostly, it would be blocked by noise complaints and lack of land. Most nation-sized freight rail networks were built more than 100 years ago when population density was far lower and noise controls barely existed.

Also, have you heard of the Alameda Corridor is Los Angeles County? That project is incredible. The amount of soil moved for that project must be staggering. The dimensions: <<The centerpiece of the new Alameda Corridor would be the "Mid-Corridor Trench" a below-ground, triple-tracked rail line that is 10 miles (16 km) long, 33 feet (10 m) deep, and 50 feet (15 m) wide.>>

I like this story as it goes a long way to explain why the 6502 is the way it is. Having grown up with both Z80 and 6502 essentially in parallel, I'll be the contrarian who never liked either, but will admit that it would have been hard to do better than 6502 did in the given area constraints. (Z80 however could have done so much better - the 128+ bits of architectural state could have been used far better and even have allowed a 16-bit architecture).
Yes, there is a natural way to solve these recursively. Here is an example: https://leetcode.com/problems/best-time-to-buy-and-sell-stoc...

Not the best runtime (I could use a multidimensional array instead of an hash map for the cache, and recursion is "slow" in Python), but it's a clear solution.

Given a recursive solution, it is also "trivial" to convert it into filling an array by visiting the recursive states in reverse topological order. So here is a submission that fills in the array: https://leetcode.com/problems/best-time-to-buy-and-sell-stoc...
The steamdeck works so well, because Valve spent a LOT of effort fixing AMD, wayland and pipewire issues for their handheld. Some of that then trickles down to other machine other parts don't(like sleep, and audio). For example, they have a proper filter chain for their speakers and microphone.

Since recently buying an AMD based laptop I've come to realize how much better Intel's software support, both in Linux AND in windows is. And that patterns moves all across AMD product lines.

For example, they pressured all vendors to drop S3, dropped it from Phoenix and went all in with Microsoft's s2idle without any clear way to support it. As a result you have multiple vendors with half working idle implementations, overheating and other bugs.

Intel has also vastly surpassed AMD is their ML stack, even though their GPU's are less powerful.
NVidia has had more reliable and, at least until recently, more featureful drivers on Linux and FreeBSD for decades. They're just not open-source, which doesn't seem like it would matter for something like the Steam Deck.
Looks slick but I keep asking myself why I would ever consider a Goldmont core? Even two rocks latter as Gemini Lake Refresh, it's still basically a 2016 puny-core?

Given almost half of American households have dogs these days, and how they're generally treated as family members, the burden of proof falls on you here, and 3 sentences made up 1 minute before you wrote a forum comment doesn't cover it.

That is, if you want to argue about it.

Look, I'm not suggesting the government poll to find out what's popular at NIH and what's not. I am suggesting that the fact that there is a petition with thousands of signatories indicates interest, and the facts I cited support it. Your opinions lack sufficient foundation to support anything.
Looks like that depends on the “canvas” package, which appears to use Cairo/Pango for text, similar to Graphviz.

Maybe the easiest way to think of it is that it's like how cardiovascular exercise lowers your resting heart rate over time, but really raises your heart rate during and immediately after exercise.

The acute goes up for a bit, but your body is changing due to the exercise which causes the chronic condition to reduce over time.
