> Creativity is difficult to measure in the lab, but if taking LSD was a game changer, you'd see a majority of creative workers taking LSD the same way Adderall & co are massively used (there and elsewhere - anywhere where staying more time awake and alert allows you to pull ahead).

Firstly, showing up to work on acid is very different than showing up to work on Adderall. The impact on someone's ability to function normally is incomparable. Secondly, working faster to solve problems is not even close to doing things like honing someone's artistic perception in their medium, and having the mental material to manifest abstract concepts. Many of the benefits people reap from hallucinogens are experiential and could influence someone decades later, like travel or something they read.

> Yet I don't see it: most LSD usage works the same way as absinthe or opium used to be used: as a crutch for creatives suffering a dry spell, with the user feeling improvement - but the public, critics, "consumers" of the creative product not really seeing it.

I am a professional art-school trained artist who almost certainly knows many more successful artists than you do: you're either making things up to justify your existing opinion, or you don't know enough about the topic to realize you're making things up. The preponderance of dedicated professional artists and designers I know (on the artier end of the spectrum) have at least dabbled in hallucinogens. Personally, I have not. If you include marijuana, even though that's far more like Adderall in its usage patterns, that number is nearly 100%. Almost none of that drug usage, from what I've seen, is used in direct response to needing inspiration. Of course, none of this is universal, but to say it's not common or influential because you are not aware of many people that are working while tripping is utterly ridiculous.

> (Usually the crutch becomes an addiction, or the toxicity/impurities in the product take their toll, and you end up with a coda like at the end of PK Dick's _A Scanner Darkly_)

Ah-- that you're basing at least some of your conclusions on fiction certainly fills in some holes.

> What I find most specific to LSD though is that it seems to have produced a long list of LSD advocates, whose work consists only of waxing poetics about how "LSD gives you mental superpowers", and... Not much else. No actual "general" poetry, no Great Text, no theoretical breakthrough in philosophy nor science...)

You can find bullshit artists peddling damned near anything for their own benefit, and hallucinogens are one of the worst offenders. That's not an argument against the efficacy of anything. And to be clear, I'm not advocating for anything. Neither for hallucinogen usage, nor abstinence.
I'm well aware of that, and what I said is still true.

You might want to look at the repo I linked, check out the source, or hear it directly from the folks at Pulumi if you're interested.
Playing the devils advocate here, beancounters would now say that wherever any true disruption happened there were domain experts that told them it couldn't be done.

And they are not completely wrong. If you asked any decent professional whether their work could be replaced by automation, they would probably give you reasonable sounding arguments why it is not that simple.

But as a techie that has on the ground experience with sensors, electronics, computer vision, programming and grew up close to mines I think it is key to realize that there are hard problems and there are hard problems. And mining automation is the latter.
genshin is fun on its own but a friend of mine spends so much money on it that it's honestly terrifying, puts me off of playing it all that much. i would love it if it were $60 and everything was unlockable with a reasonable time investment, or even if it were a sub model like a lot of MMOs
Seems like a lot of fancy math or simulation to justify a conclusion, but that math might not fit the real world situation at all. I feel like I've seen a lot of variations on this theme on HN and it tends to be a pet peeve of mine- maybe showing a ton of math might your result seem more authentic, but I see no evidence that it would be if there's no data to justify the fit of the math.

For one thing, the factor noted as "ignored for the sake of simplicity" where a player can carry his un-lost lives into the next round (and the opponent gets a chance to proactively choose who to go up next) seems to me like the far and away #1 most important factor in why order would matter or what the best possible order would be. If you have a lop-sided player who doesn't perform very well, but does really well in one specific matchup, you should probably try to save that player for when you can send them into that matchup.

Without any of that that, in a series of perfectly randomized one off matches in a perfect mathematical frictionless vacuum, order might not matter... but that just isn't what a crew battle is.
That said, 10 years old is very different from 16.

That is the standard interpretation of x^y^z. Interpreting it as

doesn’t make sense as that is equal to the simpler and shorter

x^(yz)

Excitatory and inhibitory neurochemical markers of anxiety in young females
Can you describe a test that would separate trivial pattern matching from true understanding?
I think there are numerical solutions possible for any network. Worst case solving KVL KCL to find the equivalent resistance between two nodes is an option. In a real circuit netlist the number of nodes is finite and often you can just ignore dangling resistances.
Access to sensitive data an features is gated behind entitlements and user permission. What any reasonable sandbox needs to do is make it difficult for an sandboxed app to tell whether it actually has a permission it has asked for or not by providing the user an option to provide scoped or fake data. Oh, Facebook won't run without me giving it access to my contacts? Ok, here you go, but gee, it looks like I don't have any contacts outside of the iPhone defaults.
That does not mean the book is not accurate, book just has to be read certain way.

If you read modern literature , there is a lot of noise and hyperbole. Like 20% females being raped while studying at college. It comes from well accepted study, was quoted in several journals, but obviously has to be open to some interpretation.

My guess young samurais would prefer seppuku over chores and punishment. Perhaps look into Kyōgen to get some perspective.
I remember watching this show at 3am as a teenager, while my sister and I ate breakfast before heading out to our jobs on a dairy. We did not like this show, but it was really the only thing that was on at 3am. It was followed by The Oblongs which we vaguely remember as bizarre and joke about it being a shared dream we must’ve had when we fell asleep on the job.
You've paid facebook millions in the last few years. Another 37k is only a small % of that. Pay them another 37k and take it as a lesson learned not to use a credit card with them. Write off as loss.

Or sue / chargeback and end your relationship with the platform.

Either way it has become a marketing opportunity that is probably worth the 37k.

I've seen quite a bit of Terraform code over the past 8 or 9 years. Most of the problems are related to:

1) Rampant copy-and-pasting instead of attempting any sort of code reuse
2) Reinventing the wheel poorly: instead of bringing in an existing module, they'll attempt to build their own half-baked one.
3) Poor ops practices like manually editing configuration through the console, then complaining about drift when TF overwrites their changes.
4) Lack of systems and networking fundamentals, like DNS or load balancing. If you don't understand it, how can you hope to configure something properly?
AWS doesn't decide or even care about this, customers configure security group rules for their own services. Nothing is allowed by default, so if you want ICMP you would need to allow it, most font bother because it's not that helpful in a cloud environment (can just monitor the TCP port instead and get similar information).
It's been a very long time since I've diagnosed something like this, but I've had problems in the past when the MTU is smaller than the default and ICMP is blocked (interfering with path MTU discovery). Often IPSec or some other tunneling was involved. The initial packets got through but as soon as a full packet was sent it was dropped.

EDIT - I've now scrolled down in HN and saw that this was ruled out.

> I think we need to change the web so that nobody but the user has authority over which data is displayed in context with which other data such that platforms cannot prevent critical annotations from appearing next to content (or annotations that simply remove that content)... supposing the user has opted into those annotations. I'm working on such a protocol.

To some extent browsers (i.e. users agents) already do this -- it's how ad blockers work. Naturally large corporations are always looking for ways around this, like using native apps for specifically the things (like social media) that have no reason at all not to be a web page -- or better yet, a feed protocol like RSS with a client app which is independent of the service.

A modern protocol which is basically RSS for social media content would be welcome. Probably even among content creators. But not so much social media conglomerates.

> We just collectively refuse to accept it.

If there are 10 grocery stores in town and 8 of them go along with this, the miners just shop at the other two, or the mine starts selling groceries in the company store. In order to be effective it would have to be close to universal, at which point you're basically reinventing government. Notice how if 51% of people are in on it, you already have the votes to pass a law.

Trying to tag money with the evil bit is also a fool's errand because it's fungible. Suppose that AT&T isn't in on your boycott, so they accept the hundred bucks from the mine to pay their phone bill, and put it in their account with billions of other dollars. Now AT&T is tainted. They're going to pay that money to their employees who will use it to buy everything from everywhere and in two weeks there won't be an account in the country that hasn't been Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon'd into having tainted money in it, or the boycott becomes a self-DoS because there are fewer places you can patronize while respecting the boycott than the miners can.

Conversely, suppose you're not willing to taint money that some huge corporation accepts. Well, now the miners just go to Walmart, who isn't in on your boycott, and use it to buy a prepaid debit card which isn't tainted because Walmart doesn't publish that information, and then use the card to buy whatever they want.

I'm steeped in bias on this one, but overall this is not a surprise. The stock has been trading sub $1 for a while and there has been very little positive coverage of the company in recent months.

The only deal they had in the works was speculated to be with Nissan and that fell through. Although a successful deal with Nissan would've made me even less optimistic after reading about their mandate to cut new build costs by 30%.

There’s a lot of shilling going on in this topic currently by the press. I’m deeply distrustful of the volume of these negative articles coming out over the last year.
No. You earned the “tiny” comment. You started with being super arrogant, on a site known for arrogance, known for people flexing about how they get their jobs from their friends, on a site that you know is not only being very US centric, but very Dan Francisco centric, speaking on a very common topic here. Legitimately, the only reason beyond nepotism I could come up with for your very strange experience was you never worked anywhere larger than 3 people. Again, something that is quite common on this site.

At some point, you have to wonder when know you’re the odd one out, but you didn’t. That’s on you.

Do better next time Tiny.
I don't have a horse in this specific race, but my life experience has been that having the source is usually a bazillion times better than "segfault and wait for support to respond" or in this specific case "send email to support to download the thing"

Also, w.r.t. <https://www.tines.com/docs/self-hosting/docker-compose/tines...> what the hell is going on with using some rando effectively dead repo <https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose#depreca...> to install docker-compose?

Same here. I can't evaluate the font because of the background.

Don't see why I should wait for images to fade in either.
I would use ECC memory if I could. I used to use a TR 2920x with ECC but now I'm on a Ryzen 7950x with non-ECC. Unbuffered ECC memory is the only one supported by Ryzen, and it's slower or more expensive or both compared to the equivalent-capacity non-ECC memory. The latest Threadripper lineup supports Registered ECC, but Threadripper is overkill (cost, threads, PCIe lanes) for home users like myself.
> Part of it is the change Spotify made to not paying for streams under 1,000 plays. When we first got our January sales report, it was down nearly 70%. Yes, seven-zero %. And February’s figures confirmed it wasn’t a fluke.

> The other part is also based on Spotify. The new fining system is beyond outrageous. We are getting fined for users who had 9 out 10 fake streams according to Spotify. They don’t give us any more details than song, number of total plays and number of fake plays. If that ratio exceeds 90%, they issue a 10 euro fine each month.

> For us and our catalog of over 40k songs ... The THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in fines each month was the final nail in the coffin though

Why does it want my e-mail? It doesn't seem very inclusive to require a signup just to download a font.

Also no information on the licence that I could see.
It is worth noting that the Nitric team (whom I work with) aren't suggesting that Nitric is an alternative for every Terraform project out there.

However, there are many use-cases without bespoke infra needs where it does suit.

Our hope is that people who genuinely are looking for assistance with their cloud deployment needs evaluate Nitric against their own projects requirements.
They chose the Caterpillar 797F, which is their largest offering.

Not sure how they even think that the hoe that is loading them will also be able to load on-highway trucks.

It would be like loading water glasses by tipping a 55gal barrel.

The operator inefficiency of dumping into 20 trucks for an equivalent of one would reduce the time the hoe operator could actually mine.

As they are obviously claiming to solve things for very different use cases it looks like they have practically zero knowledge about their customers needs.

"you don't need to research this to see that it's obviously true" is actually an incredibly important category of topic to research—because if you're right, then you have documented, peer-reviewed proof of what we believe to be true, which people can cite for writing their own papers...and if you're wrong...well, then, you've demonstrated something novel and possibly opened up a new area of research within your field.

So it's like a Kryoflux for VHS tapes? That is cool.
From the website I can't exactly tell why sending all the tapes there would be a great idea. But you guys seem to know something I don't, care to elaborate? :)
Linux... kind of sucks though. It's way better than being locked into unfree-on-many-level MS products, but there are many other OSes that I would rather use in other contexts. Out of 7 machines I'm currently running at home, only two run linux, and I definitely wouldn't be any happier if the ratio tilted away from *BSD.

Neat, as a reader, I've absolutely wanted this exact behavior many times. Do you have any examples of incorrectly classified images? As you say, the model seems quite simple, but I wonder if there are some pathological kinds of photographs that result in inversion.

You asked what I would do, and I answered. Other people will have other answers based on their own situations, of course. I truly pity anyone who feels compelled to stay in a job where they have to contribute to the abuse of others.

I will say, though, that it's not a matter of luxury. I have left jobs on principle when leaving them meant I suffered financial hardship.
Hopefully this helps give a better idea of how it works under the hood:
https://nitric.io/docs/reference/providers/custom/building-c...

Not just a feature of Pulumi, its just used as the IaC of choice for the out of the box deployment providers. This can be replaced with anything.

At its core Nitric is really a tool to collect infrastructure requirements from an application and those requirements are delivered to a server that is built using the Nitric deployment APIs.
The problem I have with hardware based authentication, such as Yubikey is that it's a physical thing that can be taken away from you (or just break, or get lost), which makes me nervous.

Maybe it's stupid, but the scenario I always have in mind is one from "Bourne Identity" movie, with Jason Bourne found in the sea, with nothing on him, no wallet, no phone. And it's not far fetched scenario either: I travel a lot, internationally, so I always imagine being mugged, having my phone and wallet taken away from me. Being able to login to my accounts, and more importantly, access my money in the bank with nothing but a password stored in my brain is important to me.
> Japan does have a procedure for foreigners to officially adopt a Japanese name.

Sort of but not really. The post-2012 residence cards do not display a registered alias anywhere, and since those cards are what banks are required to KYC you on, a lot of banks won't allow you to use a registered alias which in turn means it's hard to use it for anything else (credit cards, phone, pension...). It's very non-joined-up government.
Ha, adding that to my parlance! It's exactly like Kryoflux for VHS tapes.

An example - S-VHS tapes can not be played back in regular VHS players. They can't handle the format.

But with vhs-decode, it doesn't matter. A regular cheap VHS player can "rip" an S-VHS tape.

And decode the HiFi FM-stereo signal, too.
It's there now (thanks for the alert!), but I don't think the main branch was there when I wrote the parent comment. If I recall correctly, it was just the gh-pages branch like these other repos from OP: https://github.com/txstc55/Ducked-support and https://github.com/txstc55/duck-duck-duck.

(Of course, those repos may have main pushed later as well, invalidating this comment too)

Nice of the author to share the code. Thanks!

Because basically everyone giving up all privacy for a modicum of convenience makes the world a worse place. It's a seatbelt situation; people consistently make the wrong decision, so the option is removed. In the abstract it's distasteful to remove autonomy like that, but on occasion we need to make collective calculated decisions like this.
> Japanese programs aren't globalized and already rely on the system being fine tuned for Japanese

Right, because unicode-based systems don't work well in Japan. E.g. a unicode-based application framework that ships its own font and expects to use it will display ok everywhere that's not Japan. So Japan is increasingly cut off from the paradigms that the rest of the world is using.

Fake book mills were a problem before AI, but this is going to put it into overdrive. It sucks because things like Kindle allowed me to publish my works without cost. Spam like this delegitimizes Kindle, which should concern Amazon, as well as self-publishing in general. I've published two books, and I would hate to be associated with the fakers and the spammers.
