Ketamine has three distinct effects which are a function of dose. At medium doses it’s a recreational psychedelic and at large doses it’s an anaesthetic. Its highest efficacy against depression is seen in the micro-dose range, before any perceptual (psychedelic) effects start.

At that dose, it causes a rapid release of neurotrophic factors, which restores the function of neuronal spines. Those spines are typically damaged by chronic exposure to stress. It may not necessarily be supported by a verbal insight into your emotional difficulties, although the brief period of neuroplasticity can lead to that.

There is usually complete relief from depressive symptoms within 24-48h, but it only lasts for as long as chronic exposure to stress doesn’t start again. In some patients this means that symptoms can return within a couple of weeks, unfortunately.

Sorry but this a bit ill-informed.

First off, you cannot just put an alarm on everything. The sonic experience inside a cockpit is very carefully designed to give pilots the correct information at the correct time. False alarms are not only not appreciated, they are actively dangerous. If a flight experiencing an emergency situation, a blaring alarm that is incorrectly going off can prevent pilots from getting timely information.

Airbus have side-sticks (like a game controller), not yokes and you really shouldn’t be inputting on them unless you’re hand flying for whatever reason.

In all two-pilot aircraft (all commercial jet aircraft), there are two separate roles that each one assumes: Pilot Monitoring (PM) and Pilot Flying (PF). The PM’s job is usually to run checklists, communicate/operate the radio, check various indicators, and support the PF to fly the aircraft. The captain and first officer swap between these roles en route. The PM should NOT be inputting controls unless there is a good reason to do so, but for safety/redundancy, one side’s controls are never disabled unless a lockout/override is active.

Most airlines have a policy to cruise with the autopilot on, which keeps the aircraft on its plotted course at it’s cleared altitude. The time where “flying” comes into play most often is during takeoff and using various levels of ILS from just indications of glide slope to a full autoland.

While not fantastic, a cruising airbus will keep its current course and stay airborne if the pilots snooze off.
You should at least be benchmarking against par2cmdline-turbo instead (stock par2cmdline isn't exactly performance-oriented). Also, you need to list the parameters used as they significantly impact performance of PAR2.

Your benchmark also doesn't list the redundancy %, as well as how resilient it is against corruption.

One thing I note is that both ISA-L and zfec use GF8, whilst PAR2 uses GF16. The latter is around twice as slow to compute, but allows for significantly more blocks/shards.
I've read that many ant species have more "roles" than a typical British village prior to the industrial revolution.

Note that this is in agreement with you, that the number of trades open for people to work in was pretty small until fairly recently.
You propose replacing pilots with … pilots?
People may choose to live in societies where AI makes these decisions. Perfect isn't the requirement. "Don't become like the Khmer Rouge with 99.5 percent probability" or something is going to attract a lot of people who have lived through bad human run societies.
I looked into using Bruno ever since Postman enshittened the free client. I ended up just installing the version of Postman pre collections being removed and ignoring the prompt to update.

I'm struggling to remember the reason I didn't stick with Bruno. I think it was due to not having an equivalent to Postman's pre-request scripts. If that could be added, I'd certainly give Bruno another try.

Edit: Another comment has mentioned that Bruno now has (or maybe always had and I just didn't see) pre request scripts.

They were wildly effective for a few months after being given. We don’t know how well they would continue to work in the absence of mutation.

But it’s worse than that: the revised vaccines appear to be nowhere near as effective even against strains closely related to those which they target. As a somewhat plausible mechanism, repeated doses have been shown to induce IgG4 production, which non-mRNA vaccines don’t seem to do.

Measles and Chickenpox are both airborne, although they’re not respiratory the way Covid is. But their respective vaccines are vastly more effective.

I’m not saying that I know, or have strong evidence, that mRNA vaccines are weak. But I do think it’s fair to say that we have no evidence that they can be comparably effective to earlier vaccine technologies.
Tools are quite exciting.

You start by acquiring of basic hand operated ones, then there is a whole set of tools for construction that you can probably use for garden furniture carpentry, then come the tools that you can use to create furniture proper.

I believe material wise it is a similar journey. From soft construction wood to hardwoods, that require different tools and techniques...

Metal processing is a challenge of it's own. One set of tolling while you do aluminium grade of metals and then tooling becomes more or less cost prohibitive.

Consider the workshop space. It is a lot of tools for this journey...

It is sort of same as software development. You do spend a lot of time to prepare infrastructure to craft repeatable parts that will stick together and align on a certain angle, etc.

The feeling when it works is magical. Fighting your tool to get things done (it is time for upgrade :)) is dreadful...
I'm a big proponent of not lying and none of these scenarios require lying:

>If you answered the door to this crazy axe-wielding man, would you tell him where Karen was? I hope not. You would lie, and you’d be right to do so.

You could easily say, "I'm not going to tell you," "I'm calling 911," "I'm armed."

>Similarly, if someone on their deathbed asks if you think they will go to heaven, it’s probably not a good time to tell them that you are an atheist.

"I don't know," is the truthful answer no matter your religious point of view. "I hope so," is another good choice that isn't a lie.

>Does my bum look big in this dress? No of course not, your bum looks great, but perhaps the other dress is better for tonight?

This scenario is mostly the plot of the movie Phenomenon. It doesn't end well for the main character (played by John Travolta) so you might want to get checked out.

Maybe more boring, when trying to create I find I spend lots of time in a miserable morass where I feel like my "normal" brain is trying to solve creativity like it's a hard procedural problem, and progress is slow and the result is always uninspired. If I keep at it I eventually "punch through" and it's like an avalanche of sudden ideas and mental connections flow through and out of me and I get into a zone of unreal hyper productivity for a while.

Later on when reviewing what I did during those moments while in a normal brain state, I find I can't replicate, edit, or really do much to alter what I created until I can punch through again -- I have basically no ability to replicate what I just made. The level of detail, the inspiration, the raw creativity is just not my normal mode. It's just not on tap.

It also leaves me really hungry after a couple hours of doing it. I suspect there's some kind of interesting energy recruitment my body is doing in my brain, sensing it's working hard, and trying to support the emergency with sugars, or oxygen or something.
So running models on a M1 Mac with 32gb+ works very well as the CPU and GPU RAM are shared so you can run some really significant models with with.

Earlier this year, I also went down the path of looking into building a machine with dual 3090s. Doing it for <$1,000 is fairly challenging once you add case, motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

What I ended up doing was getting a used rackmount server that is capable of handling dual GPUs and two nVidia Telsa P40s.

Examples:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/284514545745?itmmeta=01HRJZX097EGBP...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/145655400112?itmmeta=01HRJZXK512Y3N...

The total here was ~$600 and there was essentially no effort building / assembling the machine, except I needed to order some molex power adapters, which were cheap.

The server is definitely compact, but it can get LOUD when it's running heavy load, so that might be a consideration.

It's probably not the right machine for training models, but it runs inference on GGUF (using ollama) quite well. I have been running Mixtral at zippy token rates and smaller models even faster.

IANAP. I think a lot people enjoy flying airplanes. I think most landings are manual. Thus pilots highly skilled to land safely also in difficult situations. And instruments can fail.

What do you hope for with removing humans in the loop?
Yeah, IRL too. 5-10 years ago there were some biohacking collectives around the Bay Area that did everything from pharmaceuticals to experiments with CRISPR. I don't know if they're still around -- I left that scene when I left the USA a few years ago -- but if you're in the area you might want to give it a look. (As an aside, I heard that a few scene-adjacent people have recently gotten gene-mod therapy; Patri Friedman, for instance, received follistatin therapy.)

Nootropics were a pretty popular trend around the same time, and I knew a lot of guys who would import weird drugs and peptides from Russia and China. It's the same sort of procedure I outlined in my last post, in that you're ordering drugs or drug-active-ingredient-powder from abroad... And then hopefully testing it.

Roughly 10 years ago, when [redacted breakthrough drug] was released, I helped some friends set up a pirate pharmacy. Those were good times.
Because it’s literally wrong and has nothing to do with how Ketamine works or with how it’s used therapeutically according to any and all sources.
> Short peptides injection are worse because: minimal immune stimulation, less of a mechanism to train the immune system on the peptide targets, have not been effective.

If the problem of peptide vaccines is weak immune stimulation, then wouldn't the problem of mRNA vaccines be autoimmunity?

Well we can't settle it in the comments, nor should we. So which of those options can successfully survive a detailed engineering review on its merits?
It explicitly is a question box, and it doesn't need to be "retrained" every time someone posts a review, they're most likely being embedded, summarized, and put into a vector database that the question box can RAG.

This is close to a textbook example of where an LLM is useful. It's interesting seeing just how knee-jerk-y some people's irrational hatred of this has become.

Although it sounds somewhat similar to manic episodes keep in mind that they come with a depressive crash afterwards.

The brain is more complex than a mere mental condition which we still don’t fully understand.
That doesn't work at all. There are often times like takeoff, landing, dealing with adverse weather events, re-routing, mechanical failure, etc where they're going through a detailed checklist. The last thing you want is some random device that takes attention away from them dealing with a serious problem.
Anecdotal evidence isn't worthless, but it's not solid proof either. It's prone to bias and lacks the breadth and rigor of systematic data. Pointing out common human traits doesn't strengthen your argument; these are well-documented facts, not mere anecdotes. The leap from "my experience" to "universal truth" requires data, not just stories. Anecdotes spark curiosity; data provides answers.

Of course immigration increases rental costs. If you increase the supply of available labor and demand for housing, wages will decrease and home rental/purchase prices increase.
> If there wasn’t an existing shortage then no-one would be calling for rent controls

False, rent controls isn't about shortage it is about land lords raising rents for people who already live there and since it is so much work to move people will stay and pay overpriced rent.

Then that rent control easily leads to the shortage and extremely high prices for new entrants, but that was never the original goal.
Interesting! Can you link some? I'd love to read them.
It's worth pointing out that it's an article from a book reviewer, arguing based on a classical book about monks (who spend their life basically reading and copying books) that reading is really great all around.

There might be a kernel of truth in there, but there's a very clear lack of distance between the subject and the author, and the writing style exacerbates this point.

I feel it's the very definition of preaching to his choir, with little to no light coming from a different side with at least some ressemblance of neutrality towards the subject. Arguably reading people's rambly praises about their passion can be nice, but there's a weird grandiose tone here that hurts the enjoyment.
Even if unassisted takeoff and landing were possible, no airline is going to accept the risk of operating such a system.
ha! I get that sometimes too. I suspect it's fairly common which manifests in people having great ideas in the shower or somewhere similar when their attention isn't focused.
I too appreciate your engagement. I understand that HN can be merciless, and I do try to be direct, which can sometimes be felt as merciless or harsh. I'm trying to give my unadulterated perspective because I care about the outcomes for the industry as a whole.

And yes, I can imagine it was quite a shock to get this much unexpected feedback all at once. You handled it well, from what I've seen.

> I agree in principle, but I've not been able to see this followed in a large sprawling engineering organisation.

Ours isn't large and sprawling (only around 15 devs) but we managed to build and maintain ~100 back end services and ~20 front end web applications and we're only speeding up as we go. It's possible, but it takes effort and it requires doing things that go against "best practices". [1] It also requires significant cultural and managerial work (see Lean, Steven Spear's work, etc.).

Good luck in your product and learning journey. Hopefully we can connect again down the road. Cheers.

Mistaken for Malware (2023)
Because the people who own those planes, and people who regulate the airline industry don't want human casualties under their watch - a fairly reasonable concern.

Status-quo is not something you typically argue for, its what you need to argue against. At which point you need to make a positive argument with data that can convince them otherwise.
Was also planning on using it for sending happy birthday texts
It's a tradeoff, not a problem. My XPS has fans and is silent except when doing something very intensive, like gaming, which macOS is terrible at if a game is even available for it. If the XPS gets dusty, which it hasn't so far, then I can easily clean it by removing the back panel since the XPS is made to be repaired and even upgraded. So if you truly want a fanless laptop, then it looks like the Air is the main contender, but then you have to use macOS and the other downsides of a Macbook. Microsoft makes fanless laptops, but those are the Surface Pros, with their own set of tradeoffs. The Surface Laptops do have fans. For me personally, whether a laptop has a fan or not is pretty immaterial. So like I said, it's a collection of tradeoffs and personal preferences.

And please note the original quote that I responded to. They referenced all Apple laptops with the M1 and later chips.

>Rent control, as flawed as it may be, aims to solve a real socioeconomic problem: that I was here first.

FTFY. It really boils down to that. Is it a hardship? Sure, but really insidious way that rent controls hurt society is stealing from future generations to benefit folks in the present who already are being given a sweet heart deal. It does so by creating incentives to block any redevelopment. The problem with rent control is that, where it is in effect, it is the primary cause of the exact problem it is trying to solve (but only for incumbents).

If we really cared about people's stability, we could simply create a system where maximum rent increases are limited, but the percentage increase goes up every year. E.g. max rent increase year 1: 1%. Year 2: 2%. Year 3: 4%, Year 4: 8%... etc. If the rent ever doesn't double, the percentage increases start over. You get prevention against wild changes in rent, and you've got about a decade before seeing potentially dramatic rent increases, but rents can still get back to market levels given enough time.
