Recreational doses? What does that mean? Excessive vasodilation isn’t going to be fun. You actually need some vasoconstriction to balance your blood pressure. Too much and you’re just going to get headaches and lightheaded. Excessive vasodilation would be expected to worsen cognition.

Show HN: I Built My Product with Next.js After Getting Scammed by LegalZoom
Hi HN,

When I was 16, three years ago, I got overcharged by LegalZoom for setting up an LLC. They made it seem more complicated than it is. You can actually do it yourself using your state's Secretary of State website.

I made StateSmart to teach people the whole process. It covers:

Understand the costs: Understanding all fees.
Agent tips: Help with choosing a registered agent or becoming your own.
Step-by-step instructions: Clear guidance on each document you need to file.
Compliance: Tips on how to stay compliant with annual reports and filings.
Everything online: All instructions and resources are available online.
LegalZoom charged me hundreds for something you can do yourself. StateSmart helps you save money and stay in control.

I built StateSmart using Next.js, Stripe, and Vercel.

Thanks!

Antonio

I am unconvinced with this log linear extrapolation argument.

But I've got no strong evidence one way or another: it's an extrapolation.
Actually, exercise lowers cGMP (and low cGMP is what Viagra reverses) so your "simple solution" is actually totally wrong.
No, the other poster is actually right. In betting on outcomes, there are two roles - bet (“long”) and lay (“short”). An insurance company is exactly a bookmaker; they are buying a bunch of risk and being paid a vig (or in the case of long-duration bets and life insurance, getting the carry) on each of those risks.

This is indistinguishable from insurance, particularly when the beneficiary of insurance isn’t the subject (key-person insurance, for example, which you can view life insurance as a form of).

You’re saying that because these are morally different - which I don’t actually believe, given that options trading is another equivalent form of hedging/speculation, but I will grant - these are different things. But “fire which I use to cook dinner” and “fire which I use to torch a car during a riot” are both fire; the goal is different, but the object used is not. Let’s say I hedge a bunch of political risk by betting on politics. How is that different from buying a custom insurance policy from Lloyd’s or engaging in a bunch of interest rate swaps?

Drawing a distinction between betting and insurance on those lines is the same thing as saying “being long in a stock is morally good, being short in a stock is morally bad”, and I don’t think that position holds up.
IMO the main difference is that insurance provides two good outcomes while gambling only one.

So you're buying car insurance. There are two outcomes: either your car will survive another year or you'll crash. First outcome: you're happy because you've got a survived car. Second outcome: you're happy because you've got insurance payout.

Now you're buying lottery ticket. First outcome: you won the lottery and you've got the prize. Second outcome: you didn't win the lottery and you lost your money spent on lottery ticket.

One limit of LLMs I'm pretty sure about is they'll never be able to predict chaotic systems, i.e. systems with sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This includes things like the weather and the stock market.
Less air pollution does increase productivity (air pollution is actually really bad for your mental performance, it's a surprisingly strong effect) and it seems to me "the ruling class" does consider it seeing as the Clean Air Act exists.

Btw, Japan has walkable cities of course but also has low inequality (but not so high wealth). Approximately nothing is known to increase birth rates except for being highly religious though; it seems they mostly collapse when people have anything else to do for fun besides have sex. So basically it's caused by being on your phone too much.
What is the concern? These businesses didn't exist two years ago. There's nothing to reckon. Google's had a wildly profitable model forever, their "existential threat" is LLMs not petering out.
Yes, web development has become extremely complicated and has constant churn. This despite the fact that most of it isn't doing all that much. It's embarrassing.
Animals sans humans are honest about fooling you, too.

Yes, I appreciate that that sounded very hypocritical but I implore you to give it deeper thought. I hate dealing with humans because 99.999% of them are two-faced or more to varying degrees, animals sans humans are one-faced and thus honest to a fault including being honest about lying.
Many types of insurance that protect payouts to third parties include provisions that the insurer handles the lawsuit to defend the claim. This can be a convenience even to a wealthy person, especially one who doesn't get sued much.

I last successfully did front end dev in the late 90s ans veryearly 00s. I'm very back end these days. Front end work feels incredibly frustrating, between things like UI/UX design, responsive layouts, async, handling data into whatever thing it is you're trying to populate, etc. The whole lot is a massive nightmare to even try getting back in to. It's frustrating to the point t where I look at back and end know that I can handle with authority some pretty fun and fascinating use cases that require deep expertise across many fields - and make it performant + cost efficient et , but I can barely get a front end together and even then it looks and works like crap.
Agree op is wrong as worded. Sort of depends how you count though. If you count like an anthropologist, tons of non patriarchal examples.

But they don't seem to have scaled in the same way for one reason or another.

If you count by membership the number of people who live in patriarchal societies vs not, I think you would come up with an answer very very close to 100% patriarchal.
Games are quite simple really (read input, move, draw, beep, repeat). Too many get caught up on The Right Way to do things, but realistically all that matters is what the user sees and hears, how you get there is inconsequential. Making _something_ is an achievement in itself.
Got a link to those photos? Sounds like an interesting story, whether true or not.
In gambling you pay someone to take risk for you. In insurance you pay someone to take risk for you. They are the same tool; we just give it a different name when we’re hedging from when we’re speculating.
I saw the model railroads of my youth and wondered if someday people would set up recreational computer layouts in their garages. I've lived long enough to see the "homelab" become a thing.
Alas, "summarization" is a crapshoot. It sometimes summarizes essential facts out of the original text. I think it's due to limits on output tokens. And chunking cannot solve this because you cannot summarize well if you don't take in the whole thing. Aggregating summarized chunks doesn't produce good results.

It works very very well on Amazon reviews, though, because these are small and thin.

Counterpoint: The best thing about Bluesky is that it is open enough that it may be able to sustain more than a monoculture.
seeding PRNGs from the system clock is quite common. Using the system time as a source of entropy for generating secure random numbers is problematic because it's not random. You want sources that are "noisy" to contribute.

Let's say we're generating some private key, and using the time as a source, and then writing the cert to a file, you'd probably be able to get a pretty good idea from the timestamp of that file what the system time was when the private key was generated.
Right, so next time I commit a crime and am caught all I have to do is pay the “cost” of the crime. That’s why when you’re caught shoplifting all you have to do is go back to the checkout and pay and there are no further consequences.
In the US, it does but the bar is laughably low. For example, you can get a prescription on blewchew.com which gets "reviewed" by their "consulting physicians" and have it in hand in a day or two.

Well. too sad I can't take it. It gives me terrible heartburn (an acute stomach pain, not a heart related condition) that only partially responds to anti-acids such as Alka Seltzer.

Also, extremelly stuffy nose, to the point where basically I need to breath by the mouth. And the red eyes, eyes as red as if had just smoke the biggest and strongest joint ever.

Yes, I tried to use it recreationally a few times. It is not worth the pain for me.

And then the dosage in the study: 50mg 3X times a day? I am not sure I could even survive the first day.

Did I mention the headaches too?

EDIT: Before someone asks... At least the on-label effect works really well in a recreational setting for me. But it is kind of funny to have persistent carbon-steel erections when you're feeling miserable with stomach pain and can't breath well. Doing oral sex with a stuffy nose is... interesting.
the placebo effect does not work like that. You dont get physiological benefits just by thinking you have them.
Look at what passes for peer reviewed scientific papers these days.

Those are dumb dumbs pretending to be smart. That is much worse on many levels.

Funny that many of the scientific concepts I encountered over the years that seemed to not make sense turned out to be actual nonsense and pseudoscience.

It's like they had a smell but I didn't know what was causing the smell until much later.

Virology is a good example of this. Total nonsense. They don't even have one sample of even one virus -- anywhere. In the world. It's a boogeyman.

In any model of PA, all natural numbers will be finite by this definition. Even if we, from outside of the model, know that many of them aren't.

You've been presented with two different ways to prove this, and a standard textbook. Perhaps read the textbook?

On your aside, in PA there is one element that is not the successor of any other. And it likewise has no predecessor. (It is a matter of convention whether you call that special number 0 or 1.) That special number is always the base case of all induction proofs.
There is a fascinating documentary about this, but I cannot recall its name.

There's very little voluntary about signing up to rules that you're required to sign up to in order to have a career in your field.

The policy position that detection of prohibited drugs at arbitrary low levels should result in a punitive finding, even though it is not consistent with an attempt to enhance performance or with industry standards on permissible cross-contamination, is untenable.

If the goal is to establish the "cleanliness" of sport, then subjecting people who have almost-certainly done no wrong to the same treatment as those who almost-certainly have in fact undermines the moral position.

Taking it seriously for a moment, that still seems outlandish even in a sci-fi scenario. The amount of changes that would be necessary to the body for a human to achieve autonomous powered flight would be substantial.

Given our overall density, we would need enormous wings and musculature. Consider that the heaviest flying birds alive today weigh maybe 40lbs and have a wingspan of 8ft or so. If we naively extrapolate that linearly then an adult weighing 160lbs would need a 32ft wingspan.

There were flying pterosaurs that weighed much more than the heaviest flying birds today, but they were also the size of small planes and it’s a bit of a debate how well they even flew. They may have struggled to even take flight.

So injecting yourself with some designer DNA isn’t just going to make you grow wings, it would have to completely transform you into a completely different creature, simply due to the physics of flight.

Additionally, you need not only to be able to fly, but your body needs to function well enough to stay in this new state. You would also likely need an enormous caloric intake to support the massive new growth, or it would take a very, very long time.

It wouldn’t be designing wings for a human, it would be designing a be creature based on a human but not human at all, really. Call me shortsighted but I don’t really see how that will ever be possible.
I have chosen to not have kids and live life like humanity is not gonna make it. I’m done being super worried about if I’m using an aluminum can or if this paper bag is more energy intensive than this plastic one, or if when I fart I’m causing global warming. I let those things cause a good percentage of my daily stress for too long when I have no control over anything and the rest of humanity takes a literal shit on the whole planet. So you know what? I’m not gonna worry anymore.
That’s not to say I’m a super polluter now and drive a hellcat on VP fuel and dump paint in the river. My lifestyle hasn’t changed much. But I’m giving up on lying to myself about “it’s gonna get figured out”.

I’m glad awareness is out there and all. But greed is more powerful, and I don’t have the time or energy to build a group of protesters against big oil and plastics and shipping shit from China to organize other shit from China people buy on temu.

Anyone else given up on keeping track of how much we’re fucking up?

Nice guide, pretty comprehensive. I think it's Godot or something else these days.

Not quite the same, rip_shuffle does have some contortions to be able to run in-place (I'm still scratching my head about who's running these sorts of high-performance algorithms with no auxiliary memory available), so if those cost anything they could contribute to the difference.
If there is no God, some are depend on other things, and all things are in the collection of all things. Therefore the transitivity is that if God is all things, all things are all things and God does depend on God. One is also a set of many into one, just as the word all represents things through time and beyond.

Utility is a non-linear and hard-to-estimate function of money. I may be almost as well off with $5000 as with $10000, since either case I can afford groceries until the next paycheck and still need to keep my job, but much worse off if I have $0, since I can't afford groceries, and much better off if I have $5,000,000, since I don't need a job, but not much better off from that if I have $10,000,000. If I can bet $5000 for a chance of $5,000,000 it might be worth it, but betting $10000 would leave me penniless and not increase my possible reward that much - what am I going to do, buy two mansions if I win? Buy a bigger one that I have no use for?

The syntax of + and - is rigid in C++, but functions can be written to extend it. This is not new; you are making claims that were not true in the first ISO C++ in 1998, or its predecessors revisions going quite far before that.

When a is a class type (and more recently this is now supported for enumerations also) then the surface syntax a + b means the same thing as a.operator+(b): invoking the operator + member function of a with argument b.

> Who knows what to believe.

This may be a sincere statement, but I'm not sure it's a helpful one. What data do we have? A 2:1 advantage in published studies that it does help. Since there is no such thing in science as absolute proof of anything, these are pretty good odds. Certainly more work will be done in the future to try to replicate the results and figure out the one negative outcome. But until then, we cannot say that the evidence is in any way "equal" on both sides.
Sildenafil is fairly short acting, so that’s probably the reason for 3x/day (but a better choice if you don’t need a whole day of effects because of its side effects like sinus congestion).

Tadalafil (Cialis) would probably be a better choice, and is used at daily (but reduced) dosing for prostrate issues.
