Acid is one of those things that you do a few times then don't have much of a desire to do again.

I've done acid about 15 times. Was fun, I guess.

Acid makes you think outside the box and really zoom out on life. It feels like you're able to think 100x more in the time you're tripping than sober. I would definitely try it. It can open your mind a bit.

But I think magic mushrooms are overall better as an emotional aid.
It's pretty uncommon and it's not a deliberate debugging tool. In this case, the GBA could, hypothetically, have had a way to "park" the architecture on a game crash, or "watchdog" the system (by tying state update somewhere that should run periodically to a non-maskable interrupt that reboots the machine if that state update stops happening).

Simply because it costs more to do those things, the GBA doesn't (Nintendo instead opting for the time-worn approach of the great game cart manufacturers of old, "if our games don't have bugs we don't have to worry about the behavior of the hardware in undefined state!"). So when a GBA game gets into some crash states (infinite loop with interrupts disabled, for example), the audio chip doesn't know the system is crashed and keeps doing its very simple job: reading sequential bits in RAM and converting them to sounds. Without the housekeeping that normally runs when the game is in good working order shepherding that read operation, it just keeps reading and eventually gets to the bits representing values in the cartridge ROM.
The world is ruthless. Powerful people often do anything to protect their power. Regular people often do anything to protect their interests. We are out of the jungle, but we still follow its law most of the time.

Don’t ask for permission. The system is rigged. Go build what you need to build. Go take what you need to take. Don’t play the game, hack it.

"B2b sales aren't like you trying to sell cars for a used car dealer. It can take months to years to land a customer. A sales guy might land a customer every six months that pays their salary several times over."

After watching the video again, it sounds like she needed to land a sale within 5 months (she started in August). We also don't know what other stats the company has on her. Was she sitting at her desk and watching Netflix all day? Not making phone calls? Not contacting enough customers?

"My friend said it took him six months to commit his first changes. Once you get outside of standard enterprise Java and webshit the above is more common."

There are probably some other internal goals/something that shows you are making progress besides lines of code in your example. I was just using this as an example.
> NASA has experience with incinerating crews because they lack the means to save themselves

If you're referring to Apollo 1, that event drove comprehensive changes to the Apollo design to ensure that it wouldn't happen again. And it didn't.

If you're referring to Challenger and Columbia, I'm not sure what "means to save themselves" you are referring to.
Perhaps I said that badly. "If all the clocks agree at satellite facility A, and all the clocks agree at satellite facility B". I'm not comparing clocks at A with clocks at B.

Second, I was thinking of labs perhaps tens of km apart. You can have people at the center, and at satellite facility A, and at satellite facility B.
> It's not.

How is it not?

One of your other comments sounds like you agree with the etymology jefftk cited? But that says the exact same thing. The word slav was first, and the word slave was made from it.

Something being "propaganda" and "revenge" does not stop it from being the origin of a word.

Edit:

Oh, you elaborated slightly. > It's not derived, it's used - first by defeated.

That's what derived means. They took a word and used it to make a new word.
Sucralose and aspartame are both reliable migraine triggers for me, and have been at least since my early 20s. Stevia and monkfruit are fine. The only other even semi-consistent migraine trigger for me is alcohol.

I've successfully avoided migraines for years by carefully avoiding sucralose and aspartame (and drinking little to no alcohol), but even a small serving of something "sugar-free" and within a few hours I'll get a crippling migraine. In college, I spent a while testing, and the link between both sucralose and aspartame and my migraines was perfectly reliable.

Alcohol in general has been harder to nail down. A single beer won't normally trigger a migraine, while sometimes a single glass of wine or small cocktail will. If I drank to excess it was hard to tell the difference between a hangover and a migraine; I wasn't that invested in social alcohol consumption, so I've mostly just been a teetotaler since college. Absinthe uniquely reliably gives me an acephalgic migraine with aura around 12 hours after drinking.

Edited to add: I've just stayed away from ace-K and sugar-alcohols as a precaution. I'm past the point in my life where I have any real interest in risking crippling migraines for the sake of personal curiosity.
To be honest, if you've used psychedelics, you'll know many people have that experience. I definitely have that over-encompassing all-is-one feeling. To be honest, it feels like a lower level of consciousness, less sophisticated, that is just making connections between random things.
Yeah I saw that article too. It closes that one hole the wsj reported on but pretending there aren’t other credible threats is silly. a bad actor at work could observe the password and then steal the phone at a later date, and take it to the bathroom for instance. That’s just what I’ve come up with from there to of my head.
I’m pretty sure a pound could float, as long as it was made large enough.
The issue is probably more pressing for "new" aircraft than 737 max. If Boeing makes a different plane, are you less worried about those same people putting those bolts on a different plane?
That is weird. I'm not sure why she wouldn't get some kind of feedback from her manager.
> And gamers won't buy them.

There is an even darker possible future: gamers WILL buy this AI generated crap. And the executives know it, since gamers have been buying their low effort budget cut pre-order alpha crap for years.
You can indulge from time to time.

Based on your list I would be considered "abnormal".

But I also like to socialize from time to time - and it can mean I've polished off half a bottle of wine hanging out with people I dearly love, who I don't see that often and where I lose track of time and miss the next day's workout is worth the price.

If I am disciplined 90% of the time - I can goof up for the 10%.
Attic is sooo wonderful, been using it now for about 6 months on b2 as storage , with the deduplication it's freaking cheap, I'm not sure how much is cached right now but I use it for 6 systems + microvms and b2 bucket stats are

>> Banning encrypted messaging (almost passed)

> It's a positive thing that it was brought up and struck down.

You see, the thing about european legislation is that certain stuff, especially stuff people oppose, is proposed over and over again until it passes. It costs almost nothing to re-propose things like killing net neutrality or banning end-to-end encryption, but it's very costly to oppose them. Which the politicians and lobbyists know and use to their advantage.
Sabotaging your company's infrastructure for a bonus is a great way to end up in prison.
I am in a similar predicament and heavily conflicted. Mid 30s, at FAANG, making ~$1M/yr liquid for the past few years, a net worth of ~$5M liquid in Vanguard ETFs, and have an offer for a very popular AI "startup" you all know, and I am not able to understand if the risk (illiquidity of my offer) and quality of life hit (longer hours, worse commute, higher stress) are worth the tradeoff.

On one hand, I am thinking that I really have no choice other than joining the opportunity presented in front of me, life in tech is either a constant uncomfortable growth and grind or I'll be left behind, there is really no "let's keep my current situation constant in my relatively cushy role".

On the other hand, I am so tempted to not disrupt my life until an external force does it for me (layoff etc) because things are, relatively speaking, going well for me.

Finally, since you mentioned seed etc, I would never, right now, start my own thing, but that's just me and my current circumstances.
I think dict(name=name, age=age) can be definitely be more readable and ergonomical to write than {"name": name, "age": age}.

Moving the phone from the place it was left with consent of the owner is not theft.

And it's not that crazy to leave lost property with a nearby business (presumably a trusted one)- sure they could say no but then you could just find another way to return the device.

Also why would you not be able to track it any more if they left it at the pharmacy, it's not like the Find My Device feature only works in Waymos. I guess you just mean due to the sequencing of wiping before noticing the text message?
If you're robbed at gunpoint, and they demand you unlock your phone for them, this protection means they would have to kidnap you for at least an hour to then unlock it again. The former happened pretty regularly, but upgrading to kidnapping is a lot riskier, more dangerous, and invites a serious police response.
I am only 99% certain that we won't be invaded by hostile aliens. Therefore we should take measures like building a giant space laser to prevent that apocalypse.
> What cozy games are showing us is that a world with tons of “free stuff” — universal basic income, universal health care, free education, free housing — will not result in a breakdown of our society because “no one wants to work”. People love to work.

And Grand Theft Auto shows us that there is a bunch of people who would run around stealing cars, beating up and shooting people for the fun of it.

Or else maybe there is very limited information you can take from a computer game people play for enjoyment and generalize to society at large.
50% less noise with ‘ though dict is still slightly easier to read; you can also convey that the keys are supposed to be valid identifiers.
It's also not leaving the phone at the mercy of an unknowable number of future Waymo customers until it got back to the depot.

By the time AGI arrives, the world will have already been transformed in ways we cannot fathom by intelligence much lower than AGI. Look at the impact that computing has already had, and that is mostly accounting and simulation. Building and factory automation is on the order of a couple if statements. Most programmers can't implement a PID loop.

I am not scared by AGI. But to get to AGI you have to pass through a couple points on a curve that occupy the most powerful in terms of agency, less than AGI. An angry toddler that has > 1TW (terawatts) of power.

Yes, the only good toasters I've been able to find are those commercial kitchen ones with the belt that moves the bread through.

The thing is, though, that just a few decades ago even inexpensive consumer toasters were able to make decent toast. That no longer being the case is just weird and sad to me, and emblematic of a larger systemic problem.
Sorry, to refine my comment: what typical B2C messengers and social media apps sell as end-to-end encryption does not help. Is this correct?
Inflation is not a natural law. Business leaders make a decision to raise prices. Prices don't automatically go up. If you say 'but that's what the market bears', then I will ask, when was the last time you really interacted with a market? You go to work, which often doesn't have any market elements (most companies are command control economies, weird right?). You go to a store, which is a distribution center, not a market. Markets are actually very rarely interacted with where the buyer and the seller negotiate a spot price. In fact, most people don't like markets. Markets are never something a society chooses without coercion. Anthropologists have never found a market economy that didn't involve conquest. Even in the Cozy Games, it's about collecting things and customization, the market aspect is never really that liked. You can get rid of it and still have a cozy game.
It seems like the hygiene hypothesis is true... I wonder how long before patches that replace allergy shots exist to fix us :)
Snapchat messages being surreptitiously downloaded and monitored by the NSA at some point where they are unencrypted (possibly only within Snapchat's datacenters) is consistent with what was revealed in Prism. I know that most companies have updated their standards to treat any network traffic as insecure since Prism but it's possible Snapchat doesn't.

Also as I understand it the NSA also has no legal issues with sharing any messages intercepted with the UK so long as one of the parties to the conversation is not a US national or on US soil.
Starvation as a Method of Warfare
>As always, it’s uniquely gratifying to create something my daughter wants to play with. I look forward to her developing many more interests — with any luck, soon she’ll get super into platforming games or heavy metal.

I got into heavy metal because of the Tony Hawk games (THPS3 - Motorhead's "Ace of Spades", THPS4 - Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast"). So there's a potential breadcrumb trail.
> Older kids ask questions like “what’s the point of life?” and get culturally appropriate responses from parents, religious leaders, TV or whatever. They don’t ask about things like materialisms vs dualisms vs idealisms until they are even older and have built up a complex web of interlocking beliefs.

Sure, few people will hear about “materialism” or “dualism” or “idealism” as philosophical theories until adulthood, if that. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t presumed by a lot of things ordinary people say, and which children and adolescents end up hearing.

Someone who says “there is no afterlife: there is no scientific evidence for it” is effectively presuming materialism, even if they don’t know what “materialism” is. (Many people only know “materialism” as “excessive emphasis on material goods”, not the philosophy of mind sense.)

I get the suspicious sentiment, but I mentioned it for other reasons in the title. Apart from solving a personal need, this project is largely about tinkering with Rust and performance optimisations. I was hoping that mentioning the language prominently would help attract people that may give valuable feedback regarding those things.

Swapping the passive reflector for a preamble/header triggered gated (after header received, active for some short duration) non-passive echo, doesn't negate the way of "send radio wave, receive echo, measure latency/delay, divide by twice light speed, get distance".
You cannot have capitalism without the bad stuff unless capital's interests are best served in abstaining from bad stuff. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to set up a system that aligns the world's interests with capital's, because our lawmakers are predominantly capitalists and act in their own best interests at the expense of everything else.

When money is the name of the game in elections, the legislature, and even the justice system, how is it even theoretically possible to implement capitalism without the bad stuff? The best you can do is hope the capitalists are nice.
While I empathize with the message about layoffs, the tone of this article is too hyperbolic for my tastes, “Game development is in an extinction level event crisis, and it is entirely self inflicted.”

The games industry makes more money than music and movies combined. It’s no where close to extinction. It does have all the problems of any entertainment industry though where the creators love the product and put up with unfair wages, hours, and personalities at the cost of their own well being.
In the Netherlands at least you can reasonably assume it is compatible with your device when it says "Deck Verified" and can get either a fix or a refund within a reasonable amount of time (say, 2 weeks) from the place of purchase, I imagine similar countries have similar laws. So from such countries a letter or two should do the trick, but of course only a small percent of people who bothered reading the law know that and they probably don't teach law in middle school.
Indeed.

In animal crossing, the player doesn't feel the characters cold, hunger, head aches, sleep deprivation or flue.

The player doesn't really experience the dreadful responsibility for a kid not to die, the requirement to fill forms, queue with irritated people, be stuck in traffic or the sub every day, etc.

And above that, the interactions are in this context. Nobody tries to hit on your girlfriend who you built your life with, no divorce can take half of your house, no firing send you back to your country because your visa depend on it. You don't have an asshole boss, an entitled customer, an asshole clerk or a depressed librarian.

Prosperity is easier when things are predictable, you have low risk and people are homogeneous. E.G: it's easier to live as a Swiss in your own country than as Tunisian refugee in china.
For avoidance of doubt, 192.168.1.x in the example means a network that user set up, using a router chosen by user, running OS that user compiled from source. It does not mean a network open to the public, or someone else's network. Apps like "Airdrop" and other "secure" file transfer apps seem to encourage use on other people's networks, and many of them require an internet connection, and often use third party servers by default. In the example, neither phone nor laptop has an internet connection, only a connection to the router that user controls. The router does not have an internet connection either. (Compare using Wi-Fi Direct via a closed source app from Apple.)

Snapchat does not encrypt text messages only photos and video.

Also the question of how many of those joke messages are being sent from an airport and have account meta data that can be tied to travel information (name, email, phone number). I wager far fewer that it may not make it into as much of a game of chance as you think.
I've seen the exact opposite - many projects are going back towards monolithic structures and then decoupling a minority of components that need to horizontally scale.

I believe the cost was actually a "NAT gateway" attached to the VPC which has a monthly cost of about $30 even if you don't transfer any data over it.
That it used to be the standard strongly indicates that yes, that's a realistic expectation. However, it isn't a path toward extracting every last dime from customer pockets. The real problem, in my opinion, is that companies no longer prioritize making good products, but making good pickpocketing machines.
This can be laid at the feet of Minsky and others who dismissed perceptrons because they couldn't model nonlinear functions. LLMs were never going to happen until modern CPUs and GPUs came along, but that doesn't mean we couldn't have a better theoretical foundation in place. We are years behind where we should be.

When I worked in the games industry in the 1990s, it was "common knowledge" that neural nets were a dead end at best and a con job at worst. Really a shame to lose so much time because a few senior authority figures warned everyone off. We need to make sure that doesn't happen this time.

It would be less painful if it were a universal option, and they didn't have to test with a bunch of geo-linked options.
If Python had had built-in set notation from the start, {} might indeed have been a notation for an empty set instead of an empty dict.

However, Python didn't even have sets at all until version 2.3, and they were in a stdlib module instead of being a built-in type until version 2.6. By that time dict notation was well entrenched.
> SpaceX is making about $10M allowing AST SpaceMobile to launch

$10M per launch. By comparison, Starlink has had over 100 launches:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Starlink_and_Starshiel...

AT&T doing the same number of launches would generate over $1B in profit.

And again, Starlink is already competing with land-based cellular networks, and so would AT&T. So the bulk of the AT&T satellite customers could come at the expense of other land-based cellular networks rather than Starlink -- Starlink has ~2M users compared to >140M for Verizon Wireless (much less carriers in other countries), so who are they really competing with?

I think this is because all newly-discovered knowledge inherently reflects the miracle of new life. The point at which an "unknown-unknown" piece of information is birthed into our awareness and becomes a known fact is always going to be a fascinating and surprising story. The excitement of informational peek-a-boo, the pulling back of the universal curtains on a discovery we never expected - we might be a little older, but the reaction never changes. Entrepreneurs call it their business pivot, chemists call it serendipity.
Yup. Truly our representatives are not representing us.
