We sure did. About 60-70% of all of the world's opium was sourced from Afghanistan until 2022. That supply was used to make actual prescriptions in non-OECD countries - like India & China - as well as sold to make heroin in the US, EU, Asia, and Africa.

But be careful about confusing cause & effect. The cause of the Afghani farmers growing opium was the insatiable demand for opium that was developed through legal means. Then, when countries like the US started to restrict access to opiates, addicts and patients alike started to seek alternatives to the scarce prescriptions.

More to the point, why didn't patients use something else? Because there is nothing. Purdue's misinformation actively discouraged the discovery of new non-addictive compounds for decades. No one was looking, and the R&D pipeline ran dry.

By the time enough doctors sounded enough alarms to cause a change in the late 2010s, research in non-addictive pain management solutions was decades behind. No one engaged in it because there was no need for it. Now that we realize it was all a lie and these drugs have killed millions, there are no alternatives. Very few potential compounds are even in Phase 2 clinical trials right now, let alone the half dozen that would be needed in Phase 3 to ensure we have a single alternate choice for pain management in the next five years.

So, the outlook looks bleak. Today, in 2024, we don't have good ways to manage pain that is non-addictive, and certainly no good way to reach the millions who are hopelessly addicted to opioids for pain management. But, very little of this is the patient's fault - and a lot of this is directly related to the monumental efforts of Purdue to misinform for profit.
Oh, no, they definitely believe both are going to happen and ChatGPT is just going to stop working because it'll see itself on the internet. It goes with the common belief that LLMs learn from what you type into them.

> To a first order, that means you better have a pre-2022 dataset to get started, and have archived it well.

I think that will always be available, or at least, a dataset with the distribution you want will be available.
I want to believe stuff like this, but the whole field is so mired in quackery and jingo it's hard to believe any of it. A PT with a radical personal theory, plus some youtubers and instagram influencers hardly inspires confidence. At least there are no doctors writing pop health books! But some studies in some scientific journal would be great.

That said, holding stretches longer and focusing on relaxing while stretching hardly seems risky, and could be worth a try.

The framing of the question is odd. It makes the colonists seem passive spectators. What is holding back the terraforming of Mars is not money but human agency--people living there and doing the work. The people who want to go, want to take part in this endeavour. They're not going to go there and then sit on their behinds and lobby for better living conditions; they're going there to do the work themselves of building a 2nd garden of Eden.

Based on this metastudy titled Epidemiology of anaphylaxis in Europe, they found the prognosis was:

> Case fatality rates were noted in three studies at 0.000002%, 0.00009%, and 0.0001%.

That's among all cases of anaphylaxis, so the answer is "they are almost nonexistent". It's not even a rounding error. Something on the order of a few dozen people per year for a country the size of the UK and from what I can tell, most of those are due to administration of IV medication where the allergy was previously unknown and much more severe.

I had the first model of kindle without a keyboard prior to getting an oasis. When it broke, the oasis was really the only choice to replace it due to them removing the physical buttons on all the other models.
The whole thread that emerged under mine is interesting.

The intention of my comment was a plain statement of fact. You can’t have an unfair trial if you never have a trial.
I find it odd that your engineer would make the system rely on instructions (“Do this. Never do that.”). This exposes your system to inconsistencies from the instruct tuning and future changes thereof by OpenAI or whoever. System prompts and instructions are maybe great for demos. But for a prod system where you have to cover all the bases I would never rely on such a thin layer of control.

(You can imagine the instruct layer to be like the skin on a peach. It’s tiny in influence compared to what’s inside. Even more so than, in humans, the cortex vs. the mammalian brain. Whoever tried to tell their kids not to touch the cookies while putting them in front of them and then leaving the room knows that relying on high level instructions is a bad idea.)
For this very reason I wish there was a different flag for pacman, which would allow to effectively differ between packages installed for the base system itself, and for the local packages that can be installed and wiped without bricking the system afterwards. Similar to how a rootless system works on MacOS, where restoring the OEM state involves just wiping the folders (e.g. /usr/local) with the differences that override changes to the base system.

But for that to work, we desperately need a different POSIX incompatible filesystem structure, because /etc/ has to become /local/etc or something like that.

/usr/local is theoretically there but on most distributions /sbin and others are just symbolic links these days, so they are pretty much pointless.
Those are impressive numbers. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_commercial_batte...), NMC goes up to 205Wh/kg and NCA up to 220Wh/kg. It's the same ballpark as LCO, the original "Li-Ion" chemistry which seems to go up to 195Wh/kg.

Being a prick.
Not really. There's basically a certain swath of people who "move around every 2-3 years or so" and a bunch of people who don't.

The latter are the ones that carry institutional knowledge as the team around them rotates. They tend to earn less but carry more influence, loyalty, and political insight. A big and indiscriminate purge/flight that includes those people can powerfully disrupt that and cause major damage to organizations and teams.

I don't know that that's happening here, but the grandparent is right to be curious.

Here is a nice declassified paper on using butane and propane in unconfined fuel air explosives. [https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA084367.pdf]

Quite effectively too.

There is also some nice research on proper high explosive detonation of similar mixes when using proper detonators.

It requires rather extreme amount of willful ignorance to think lighting a mixture of oxygen and butane or propane inside a enclosed space is only going to be 30-40 psi maximum, instead of ‘thank god it only hit that maybe because the potato moved’.

The political dysfunction in the US means that a critical design feature of a digital economy, namely what data about individual behavior gets collected, passed around, merged and acted upon gets obscured by various interests.

Eg., pro-privacy is portrayed as "anti-business" when in fact the opposite is true. Creating masses of digital homeless people that have no "digital real estate" because whatever value in their digital footprints is immediately confiscated is not exactly the road to riches.

Extrapolating 'privacy is dead' means bank privacy (and financial privacy more general) is dead - somebody will always be frontrunning you and stealing any of your potential wealth. It also means that health privacy is dead (somebody can and will exploit your physical condition for their own gain) etc.

The logical conclusion is the segregation of society into hordes of data-transparent non-entities at the bottom and a minority of data-opaque overlords on top.

All in all an absurd, exploitative, deeply anti-human system that can only be compared to a regression to a slave society. It may yet come to pass and "flurish", to the extend that it can suppress the inherent instability of such an arrangement.

functional languages still have to deal with storing and manipulating changing value and state, and it is still often advantageous to hide the complexities of that storage and manipulation behind simple interfaces throughout the codebase, using opaque values with helper functions to manipulate them.

OOP as a pattern, rather than a language construct.

the great advantage here is that all manipulations are local. there is no spooky action at a distance in an immutable language.

as long as you stay out of the IO monad, anyways.

Not quite web dev but I've always thought there might be room for a browseresque class of software for mobile apart from the literal browser. Instead of every mom and pop shop having basically similar apps that everyone feels resentful of installing, just have a bunch of the shared functionalities bundled into a meta app. The app browser could handle things like identity/billing/notifications etc.

The mini-apps could be mostly a JSON object defining behaviors and then maybe some styling/assets. It could lower the cost of getting a proper mobile experience out for businesses as well as lower the friction for a user debating installing an app.

It seems a shame that the choice is between a responsive webapp and a really expensive (dev time wise) native app.

Navigating the galaxies is frustratingly hard.

One finger touch moves forward, but it makes very hard to touch a point and see what it is. I keep selecting something past it, especially for large dots, which I'm curious to see what they are.

Rotating the device changes the direction but it's hard to point towards a specific star.

On the good side it's very nice to look at. I wish there would be something as fast as this for navigating real galaxies, with of course better controls.
The reason places like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore have such great public transport is precisely because the rail planners work hand in hand with urban planners. Railway construction is largely financed by property sales (both residential and commercial) and when done well is hugely profitable, as the former richest man in the world, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi of the Seibu Corporation, can attest.

Retroactively building a subway line in an already densely populated area is a hugely expensive exercise, as most recently demonstrated in NYC itself with the 2nd Ave extension.

Ask HN: Why we need complex text-to-image networks if this simple one works?
Made sonnet-3.5 write a simple text-to-image program. Trained it on mnist dataset with 50 epochs. Training took like 20 minutes only on my M1 mac with 8GB RAM only.

It was able to produce very good images based on training data. And is such a simple network.

My question is: why is all that extra complexity needed in today's text-to-image models based on transformers? Wouldn't scaling this out work equally well?

Problem is you want to have changes going through process. It has to go through other devs, it has to go through QA, if its user affecting it has to go through business. Yeah like we have linters and auto formatting so no one is arguing on that in my team. We don’t have superficial fix anything, people fix stuff that can affect users but as they work with system they notice improvements.

Having that arbitrary deadline of a sprint helps to synchronize people. Because there will always be that one change that is released but not touched by QA or we need some business analyst to review feature on test server to make sure we did right thing.

Keeping code in testable state and somewhat clean state is easy like I mentioned linters, code formatting automatically. Keeping system changes as in frontend/ backend / third party services aligned is not because it is not something you can just write in one place in code.

It's hilarious to me that it's just a given that bread is made in a factory-like setting as opposed to an actual bakery. They still exist, and some of them just make plain bread, which means they don't handle nuts. I'm sure their product is more expensive, but it's not clean room, vacuum chamber expensive.

An ecosystem of centralized, mass production of baked goods is part of the problem, at least.

Theoretically yes with the right materials, but realistically 3d printing is too sensitive to safely and reliably print pressure vessels of any significant size without putting yourself in danger. Some plastics are going to have weak points between layers that could splint apart instantly and without warning, and other plastics that don't have that problem are often brittle and could throw large chunks. But pressure rated plastic pipe extrusions are fairly cheap (just be aware some are only rated for water pressure, not air pressure). And if you need something small and lightweight, pop bottles can hold up to 100 PSI. Tom Stanton's channel on youtube does a bunch of air powered RC planes and stuff using pop bottles to hold air.

And one of the major causes of that problem is that there is no US equivalent to the GDPR, even as the current ID systems are being abused quite thoroughly. Until we have something like the GDPR to prevent companies needlessly demanding personal information, simply making ID verification easier would mean even more places asking for identifying information, using it to build even more surveillance databases, and eventually leaking it all. For starters, imagine that every website currently using SMS login nags as an excuse for collecting phone numbers would switch over to requiring full legal names, inescapable ID verification, and then hard linking their collection of dossiers with the rest of the surveillance industry.

In the case where someone ran the sesame buns on third shift it very much wasn't a rounding error afterward.

It's not just "adding sesame". It's also going to be things like "specifying the amount of time to run disposable product on the line to get below specified threshold".

It's about consistency. Maintaining documentable 0.001% contamination is much, much harder than maintaining 0.1% contamination.

There is no winning this battle via penalties. If you don't want sesame contamination, you have to make the economics worthwhile. Or simply ban sesame, but you're going to get major pushback on that.
