Reading this thread there are clearly a lot of HN users who are fairly out-of-touch with weed. Which is totally fine, but in case you do decide at some point you want to try it here's what I'd throw out there for you:

I think almost everybody can enjoy it, perhaps in the top 5% of safest drugs of all (cannot die from any amount, no interactions I know of, no hangover). I think it will replace alcohol as people learn to have a good time with it.

- Start small. (.5mg THC : 1.5 CBD would be reasonable).

- Start with higher ratios of CBD to THC to make sure you have a good time. Basically the amount of THC is the amount of trippiness/woah/anxiety and the CBD is the amount of calmness. Dispensaries will give consistent product, in terms of labeling the ratios and those ratios being correct.

- Give 90-120 minutes for an edible to kick in.

- If you're already an anxious person do it in a place you can feel totally comfortable and safe

- Maybe have some pure CBD oil (purchasable at most grocery stores) to dial the whole thing back if it becomes too much. It won't make you sober, but it will help stop you mind from "racing" (whether from THC/anxiety/whatever). Also a great cure for headaches.

- I don't recommend it if you're underage, or if your brain feels too haywire. I do recommend it for people who are overly-intense nerds who would join the CIA and find the world very black-and-white.

- If you have a nice place where you can eat some healthy food, stretch outside in the sun, listen to birds, without fear of being bothered by cops / whatever, then that sounds like a great time. Maybe bring along a very trusted friend. It won't make you have a good time, but a lot of things you already enjoy will feel more enriching.

- There's a bunch of other standard advice online too (hydrate, etc, all important).

- Everybody reacts differently, don't let anybody else's preferences override your own. Do the amount you want of what you want, only when you want. Never push it onto people, even if you love it, and don't hang out with people who push.

That above description is overpreparation for something that you might not even notice the first time you have it, but it's kind of like skiing, better to start slow -- if you've got time on your hands it's better to be patient -- otherwise it's entirely possible to have a bad time quickly (particularly for nerds, I find nerdier friends have like up to 10x the reaction to weed as non-nerdy friends).

I'd start the definition at "varied function and varied input data". Not necessarily branch instructions, the function can be much simpler.

I want to join a meeting.

I open Teams. First, Teams opens two windows. Why?

Afterwards, Teams finds my audio devices. This works sporadically.

I join the meeting. The audio input device I chose isn't sending audio for some reason. Need to close Teams completely and join again.

I am finally in the meeting.

If I join from my iOS mobile, chances are good that I'll be able to join, but exiting and re-entering the app will put me back on the login screen. While I can get back into the meeting by typing anything into the Name text box, it's still bad UX.

Then there's screen sharing. When it works, there's no guarantee that it will keep working for the entire meeting. Especially on mobile. It will die for no reason.

Zoom has none of these problems.

But Zoom is expensive because Teams comes with Office 365 for free. Just like Google Chat and Meet (two other not-so-great collaboration tools) come with Workspace.
Imperative and (pure) functional are not opposites! They are actually orthogonal.

The opposite of imperative is declarative, and the opposite of (pure) functional is non (pure) functional.

Schema and (to my limited knowldge) the ML family are in fact non (pure) functional. However, they share more functional-aspects with pure functional languages than most other popular languages do.

> Even Haskell has unsafePerformIO, which it might sadly need.

Sure, it's almost never a black and white thing. But I think for the sake of the argument we can call Haskell a pure functional language, even if it is indeed possible to write non pure functional code in it. There are actual pure functional languages (like Idris) but I think for practical use in the discussion it's fine to call Haskell pure functional. Scheme and ML languages are very different from Haskell though, so I think they deserve to be called differently. They are however also different from, say, C. So to improve our communication I think it is worth to not put those 3 things into 2 boxes. We need 3 boxes here.

Disclaimer: I want to emphasize that none of any of that says that a language is inherentially better or worse! This is just terminology-talk.
"I was constantly stressed out, felt like the worst employee in the world". Doesn't sound like a good education. I've been told what not to do before in a way that doesn't make me feel worthless - something was clearly wrong with that "alpha jackass", as they so succinctly put it.

> "If any person in the world was forced to choose between the two, I assure you that no one would pick Teams ever if not for Outlook."

And you'd be wrong. I've joined internet groups that use Slack and left specifically because Slack is so bad, but stayed in places using Discord because it's much better. Teams is nice. Part of why Slack is bad is because they're trying to turn "send small amounts of text over the internet" into a billion dollar VC funded business and the foundations can't hack it. Part of why Teams is nice is because it integrates well with Office and Microsoft 365, that makes it a clearly superior alternative.

> "So, how exactly is forcing Teams upon the world anything other than abuse of a de facto monopoly and anti-competitive business practices?"

How exactly is making a better product (Teams) which integrates well with other products (desirable features) 'forcing' or 'abusing' anything just because you're a hater with an axe to grind?
>> Can’t the OS / environment provide a “features_available” JSON blob listing all the features on the host system? Is AVX2 available on the cpu? OpenSSL? (And if so, where?) and what about kernel features like io_uring?

>> Doing haphazard feature detection by test compiling random hand written C programs in a giant sometimes autogenerated configure script is an icon of everything wrong with Unix.

True, but it works quite well which is why it is widely used. If you need to ensure that your C code will implement a desired feature, testing it with a small program before building makes a lot of sense. With different operating systems running various C compilers that all work slightly differently, it is a proven approach that achieves the needed outcome, however ugly it might be.

> Better EV infrastructure is required.

First of all, better infrastructure doesn't just mean faster chargers.

Second, Tesla is a private company that want to make profit. Developing better infrastructure is not their primary goal.

Tesla builds its own charger for its own network that charges cars that they know. They don't need to sell superchargers to other networks or costumers.

Tesla has the technical capability of building 400kw charges, they build even faster charger for the Semi. But it just doesn't strategically make sense to build those kinds of chargers.

Take make about 3000 DC Fast Chargers per Quarter, they will upgrade those to 350kw/h at some point, and then higher then that eventually. But only if they can continue to build and deploy 3000 or more of them per quarter. The 'how many per Quarter' is actually the import number.

"And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday," Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.

> It is not clear if Trump, 71, was making the comment about extending presidential service in jest. The White House did not respond to a request for comment late Saturday.

> Yes: OSX on ARM64 has alignof(max_align_t)==8 and alignof(__int128)==16. And malloc only provides 8-byte alignment, so if you're using types that require 16-byte alignment, you have to call aligned_alloc. Also, the stack is only 8-byte aligned.

Huh? Stack alignment is 16B ("The stack pointer on Apple platforms follows the ARM64 standard ABI and requires 16-byte alignment." https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-arm6...) and memory returned by the system malloc is always 16B aligned (it was 16B aligned even on 32b x86 and ARM).

I don’t have the capability to verify Wikipedia, but right now it says:

If the above is true, then are the aforementioned lipids, cholesterol, and fat not affected by fat consumption, specifically saturated fat?

Inherently worse? Domestic voices are what shattered American unions (and thereby the middle class), funding for schools and the export of millions of American jobs offshore for the benefit of the shareholder.

It has been thoroughly talked about (except for those trying to push an agenda) that nearly any diet related study is severely flawed.

In most situations we either just simply can't collect data for a long enough period of time, struggle with people simply having different micro-biomes, or that when you make a change it often also has other unrelated changes that may be the actual cause instead of the change itself.

For example, if you eat less meat you will need to get your nutrients from other sources. Those other sources may be more veggies, beans, etc. So it may not necessarily be related to meat on its own but because of the additional other things. That is something that you could get more of while still eating meat.

If we want to have a moral conversation about eating meat, sure. But trying to bring up flawed studies can undermine your entire argument and make people less inclined to engage on the other conversations since you started your argument from a flawed place in the first place.

Edit:

Another example that often comes up, if someone is choosing to make healthier options with their food they may likely also be trying to be more active. Those 2 things are not necessarily related but are often done at the same time. How do you actually outline which of the 2 is actually benefiting the person?

Edit again:

Going further, look at just how easy it is for the food industry to get a study to show what they want, to support that their supplements or whatever other product is, is actually good for you.

Last Edit:

I find it quite interesting that in recent comments you complained about other studies being focused on Mice (and seemingly implying that it weakens their argument) and here you are citing a study being done on Mice without calling that out specifically?
Tips for Taking an Effective Vacation
This is a joke, and the reason why is because even if you “deliver” a headline, you are unlikely to be “done”. It runs counter to the approach of incrementally shipping functionality, listening to feedback, and adjusting.

Headlines are so non-specific that you could “deliver” a headline that could easily not really meet a customer need. This is a nightmare, because you end up working long hours on valueless work… and upset all your stakeholders by ignoring their urgent requests to deliver small fixes and enhancements to instead just do the one thing you said you would, even though it ends up being worthless.

If you want a code centric interface it's pretty easy to use llangchain with local models. For example, you specify a model from hugging face and it will download and run it locally.

https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction

I like llangchain but it can get complex for use cases beyond a simple "give the llm a string, get a string back". I've found myself spending more time in llangchain docs than working on my actual idea/problem. However, it's still a very good framework and they've done an amazing job IMO.

Code quality has been plunging for years while we've become more dependent upon code.

Devin AI working Upwork jobs blew minds, but it succeeded for a reason. Upwork and similar sites are plagued by low quality contractors who do little more than glue together code written by better engineers. It was never a hard formula to copy.

Outsourcing programming work to the lowest cost and quality to third-party libraries is leading to inevitable results.

Obviously, the next leap will be sophisticated supply chain attacks based upon poisoning AI.

This is the purpose of licensing and you're describing a failure in the popular licenses that were popularized by the FSF and similar groups.

We have been indoctrinated. It is not always appropriate to give away your source code for free to everyone, and corporations without the moral qualms that individual developers have are happy to take advantage of their naive licensing.

We, as developers, need licenses that are less liberal, such that when corporations use our code, we are properly compensated for the value we have provided to them.

I think this means a deep rethinking of how we license software, and reopening ourselves to the possibility that proprietary licensing is not always bad.

It is possible to consider in this way that people are computers. In any case, there should be a return on resources from any processes, activities, as this always exists and happens in the world of people. If there is no feedback from something, then the actions (activities) should be stopped and changed to another productive one, where there is a return. In any case, any human activity and any correct code work exactly like this.
You're both right. It is used in low concentrations in some food products to give a wintergreen flavor (wintergreen gum, for example), and in topical analgesics (like Tiger Balm, for example) because it absorbs through the skin and acts as a counterirritant to potentially relieve pain, though studies don't see to support this use. It can be deadly if ingested directly (salicylate is the same thing found in Aspirin) in the form used in the video, and I presume one could absorb enough through one's skin that it would also be harmful in strong concentrations as shown in the video.

If nothing else, it seems like having that much concentrated methyl salicylate would irritate a lot.

> People who identify themselves as Russians in Donbass have the right not to be threatened by Ukranian nationalists

And how have they fared since February 2022? Entire cities wiped under relentless Russian artillery, homes and businesses destroyed or looted, family members tortured, raped, kidnapped or murdered, and entire generations of men forcibly conscripted into meat attacks against their compatriots.
Aren’t those synonyms? Just before the arrival of the first actual programmable computers, the word was a job description for people who did calculations.

From https://www.etymonline.com/word/computer

“Earlier words for "one who calculates" include computator (c. 1600), from Latin computator; computist (late 14c.) "one skilled in calendrical or chronological reckoning."”

The Antikythera mechanism can definitely do that.
