> The meds helped him but he didn't like the side effects so he stopped taking them.

They, their family, or guardian should have consulted their psychiatrist to tune the meds for less side effects or to switch them. That is what psychiatrists are there for.

Especially for schizophrenics, they should never have the option to get off meds, in fact there should be a long acting backup med to go with the normal treatment in case the patient were to skip a dose.

Those with experience with schizophrenia know this is the hardest part of dealing with this mental illness - getting the patient into treatment and onto meds. Sure it is easy to maintain meds, but on boarding is the biggest challenge - that once it is setup, working, and bringing the patient back to reality it needs to be maintained, otherwise the patient and family have another long, uphill battle getting the patient back under treatment.

What has happened to HN commenting?

Everyone is trying to make reddit hot take comments with a sneer as they type it out.

Anyways. This is a cool website.
Interesting idea for tech content. Any data on what you propose working at scale for literature?
Huh, wonder if you could turn that into a fitness fad for runners. Improve safety against attackers, get a better cardio workout.

Forget Under Armour. Let’s go for Over Armor.
There's a bunch of caching and cron libraries; you can pick one that best suit your needs, and you don't really need to implement that from scratch.
It's pretty clear that many VCs are starting to play the carry-game, it's much easier to scale up and make money on carry than it is picking winners or even pricing the 'winners' correctly as we saw during ZIRP. Tax advantaged too.
It doesn't though. StrictMode does, and that's optional.
It also has illustrations, unlike the article.

Have been a Cursor user for ~1yr. I think they just nailed the key workflows people wanted - i.e. the fully conversational side bar with "apply" buttons and easily being able to attach the right files or code snippets you want.

VS Code may have caught up now, but haven't looked back.
Exactly. If determinism is incompatible with somebody's personal meaning of free will, quantum dice rolls are hardly a solution. What they really need is to either find a religion or just shrug off philosophy and get on with their life, behaving as if they have free will even if they can't rationally justify it.

> but eventually VCs will realize that they're getting bad returns from their investments

I'm not saying that they are necessarily bad returns. It's just that for many reasons there is a strong opportunity for a disconnect between viable business models and seed-investments. E.g. exit event horizons are currently so long[0] that it becomes hard to correlate exit success to seed-funding (for better or worse).

> If you think that's the path to good long-term ROI, I have a startup to sell you.

Oh, I don't disagree with you. But from the actions of YCombinator it seem like either:

- They don't see this as a risk to their long-term ROI (due to some factors we are not seeing here)

- They don't have proper means of self-assessing their selection quality and think they are scaling well while they don't

- The situation is not as bad as the article and some of the comments here make it look like, and everything is fine with YC

Despite the disdain of ivory-tower academics who had access to resources well beyond their individual means, practical computing for the masses was only made possible with the "wrong" parts and the "wrong" number of bits and all these other "mistakes". Even today, early microcomputers (and their remakes) remain more broadly accessible than contemporaneous minicomputers.

We're now entering an era where, despite sophisticated hardware with wide words and layered caches and security rings and SIMD units and all this other fanciness, the end-user increasingly doesn't own their computing experience. While 8-bit and 16-bit computing may not meet your arbitrary definition of sufficiency, it still provides an avenue for people to access, understand, and control their computing. If it wasn't good enough for Wirth, so what?
Agree. It's incredibly frustrating seeing takes on science by engineers on HN. It's as bad as, if not worse than, the takes I see about politics around here.

For context, this is what the paper itself says:

> In order to experimentally assess the contribution of
MTs as functionally relevant targets of volatile anesthetics, we measured latencies to loss of righting reflex (LORR) under 4% isoflurane in male rats injected subcutaneously with vehicle or 0.75 mg/kg of the brain-
penetrant MT–stabilizing drug epothilone B (epoB). EpoB-treated rats took an average of 69 s longer to
become unconscious as measured by latency to LORR. This was a statistically significant difference
corresponding to a standardized mean difference (Cohen’s d) of 1.9, indicating a “large” normalized effect
size. The effect could not be accounted for by tolerance from repeated exposure to isoflurane. Our results suggest that binding of the anesthetic gas isoflurane to MTs causes unconsciousness and loss of purpose-ful behavior in rats (and presumably humans and other animals). This finding is predicted by models that posit consciousness as a property of a quantum physical state of neural MTs.

> Our study establishes that action on intracellular microtubules (MTs) is the mechanism, or one of the mechanisms, by which the inhalational anesthetic gas isoflurane induces unconsciousness in rats. This finding has potential clinical implications for understanding how taxane chemotherapy interferes with anesthesia in humans and more broadly for avoiding anesthesia failures during surgery. Our results are also theoretically important because they provide support for MT-based theories of anesthetic action and consciousness.

Let me emphasize:

> This finding is predicted by models that posit consciousness as a property of a quantum physical state of neural MTs.

If people here want to criticize the paper, I want to see some citations of passages from the fucking paper, and not some hur-dur quote from a popular science article meant to convey the paper to a lay audience. But you know, 99% of the paper would be indecipherable to most people here, so all we get is these surface level takes that wastes everybody's time.

The intellectual laziness in these comments is galling.

Rockefeller famously opened up about 1500 libraries nationwide. Free to use public libraries, but the librarians and such were paid.

Meaning, such philanthropy does not require every single soldier ant to be a philanthropist. But it does require them to not seek a "get rich" mentality. Such a mentality is inherently incompatible.

And, for the rich philanthropist, he must be ready to lose money. You and I are but lowly ants, and to us losing money is bad. But consider for someone like Rockefeller, there was 0 quality of life decrease after opening those libraries. Of course, if I open even one library, I'm broke.

You also have to explain why will is changed when the brain is damaged.

Really hard to justify free will (IMO) when a person's entire personality can be fundamentally altered by a bash to the head. What does "free will" mean if everything that makes you you can be changed with, say, a lobotomy.

It is, at best, an illusion and nothing more.

First Everlasting Forever Cruise Ship Sets Sail
Once upon a time I was walking with a friend around Amsterdam and a man walked up to me and asked me where something was (a nearby restaurant), I answered in English with directions and he thanked me, then a moment later this exchange happened:

- Wait! You can speak Netherlands?

- No. Sorry.

- But you can! I am speaking it!

- No you're not! You're speaking English!

He just blinked and walked off, probably assuming I was playing a trick, but my friend asked what that was all about, and had to convince me that she didn't understand anything he was saying, and wouldn't have said anything to me at all about it except that she heard me insist he was speaking English!

She asked me to try and remember what exactly I was hearing, and I realised I couldn't! I could only remember something like "do you know where [placename that sounded familiar] is?" and maybe that there was a heavy accent, but not exactly how it sounded.

Every now and then I think of this and I wonder if I actually understand English at all, or if I'm just so used to saying that I understand it (in response to something that sounds something like a question) that I started to believe it.
Ten years ago I was explaining to halls of appalled academic administrators that AI would be replacing them before a robot succeeds in sorting out their socks.
Consider how often SQL, a hash implementation, a data compression algorithm, or a standard library changes. Not often, because they are complete systems. If you don’t like them, you don’t change them- you switch to another system. But they can support an infinite variety of use cases. Hopefully that clears it up for you.

I’m doing a deep dive into the video games of the year 2000.

The plan is to make a threejs site where I can display all my favorite games with models of their original packaging and instruction manuals.

An interesting aspect of the research is that almost all published games are bad or mediocre.

Wikipedia knows about ~800 video games published in the year 2000. Of those, only ~300 either piqued my interest based on description or had reviews above ~70% positive.

I eliminated more of those based on personal interest (realistic flying or sports are not very interesting to me). And even more by watching videos of gameplay.

The level of polish and artistry vary enormously.

I’ve got a list of <100 games I’m very interested in, still. Which is a lot! But the breakdown is interesting to me.
I think that’s a red herring. People would rather be told the reasoning directly for something that affects their lives instead of a bunch of executives spinning a tale that makes them look benevolent.

On the subject of verifiable fair betting. in the early 1900's the mob "numbers game" which in my understanding is a sort of lottery, used low order digits from the closing price of well known stocks to pick their numbers.

People could trust the the numbers were fair because they were generated and published outside the domain of the person running the game, it would be very hard to fix the cent values generated by stock activity and the same numbers were published in all the newspapers.
Having a single wavefunction just corresponds to the normal rule for the probabilities of events that are not independent.

I still do not see any connection with "quantum entanglement".

Quantum entanglement is a very special case of the single wavefunction, not frequently encountered at large scales.

In the general case that is valid for almost everything around us that single wavefunction differs only slightly from the product of many simpler wavefunctions that correspond to parts of the environment between which the interactions are non-existent or minimal.

When I lived in a shared house, Facebook learned about my relation to my housemates without my consent. I didn’t use a single Facebook product at the time and used a VPN on my devices. A few years later, when I signed up to Facebook, my ex-housemates were all “people I may know”.

I was wondering for a long time how it knew. I think it was because some of my ex-housemates shared their contacts with FB and it discovered us as a social group.

It is really an eye-opening experience to sign up to Facebook for the first time in recent years. It already knows so much about you and your interests. It’s as if there was already a profile with your name on it that they were building, without even approaching to ask for consent.
The fundamental question is how to monetize AI?

I see 2 paths:
- Consumers - the Google way: search and advertise to consumers
- Businesses - the AWS way: attrack businesses to use your API and lock them in

The first is fickle. Will OpenAI become the door to the Internet? You'll need people to stop using Google Search and rely on ChatGPT for that to happen. Will become a commodity. Short term you can charge a subscription but long term will most likely become a commondity with advertising.

The second is tangible. My company is plugged directly to the OpenAI API. We build on it. Still very early and not so robust. But getting better and cheaper and faster over time. Active development. No reason to switch to something else as long as OpenAI leads the pack.
Depends on how blunt. With momentum behind it you can overcome a lot of bluntness so you want it even more blunt...
One thing that’s better: I’m converting a codebase to a new major library version with a lot of breaking changes. The suggestions in Cursor are working really well for this. You can make an edit to fix a call (or whatever), go to the next place and it suggests a similar edit, then just start hitting tab as it figures out where else you would want to do the same thing. It also seems to have recent edits in context so when you go to the next file it’s already primed to continue.
The subject of the quote is Creolistics, not the definition of Creole. If you are looking for scientific definitions of linguistic categories you are going to be very disappointed. Language involves humans. Language is messy.

As well, any question that involves “meaning” must itself answer the question “to whom?” I answered from the perspective of (some) linguists, but as another user pointed out, non-linguists might very well and with no ill intention consider it an appropriate term.

I'm in the early stages of building a headless CMS you can use with your existing website. A few other tools do this, but I noticed that none of them are made for writing, and the editing experience is lacking.

So, instead of having people write content in Google Docs or somewhere else and then copying it into the CMS, I want to create a place where you can enjoy writing and publishing your content.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can try it at https://pmkin.io/ :)
This one gets it.
YES! This is the way. And to these, which I have too, add Fucshia Dunlop for Chinese, Debora Madison for general vegetarian, Maya Kaimal for truly exquisite Southern Indian, and pre-1980 Joy of Cooking for general wisdom (I have 3 copies).

I've got another 100 or so that I dip into from time to time. Often I like to see a second opinion, or even a third.

Absorb a healthy chunk of these and now you're prepared, as my parent commenters point out, to attack the internet. A lot of garbage recipes out there.

Where does gentrification begin and end? The mission went from Ohlone to Spanish to German/Irish/Italian immigrants, then Mexican immigrants, then Central American, then LGBT, then wider punks/misfits and other immigrants including Filipinos, before the techies started moving in.

A knight in plate was carrying a similar amount to a fully laden modern soldier (about 60lbs). On the plus side, the armour's weight is more evenly distributed (a modern soldier has most of it on their back). On the minus side, the knights legs are more encumbered, which makes walking harder and running a lot harder.

A knight actually beats a soldier (who is carrying a similar weight and 10 years his junior) across an obstacle course in this short film 'Obstacle Run in Armour':

> It's just hard to convey the sense from the early days of YC that they really didn't care about the return, or the progress so far, or VCs, or fads, or anything. That said, I really was at the right place at the right time and got very lucky.

It seems to me that there was an early '10s milieu that enabled YC to behave like it did. Web apps and mobile fundamentally transformed everyday life and communication in very visible ways and there seemed to be a lot of low hanging fruit. I observe, similar to your 2), that YC seemed to have a bias toward products for tech people by tech people, and that wasn't a bad strategy, because there was still a lot of plumbing to do; there still is, but I feel that there are established solutions for the mass market to a degree that there wasn't.
Reinstalling from images is resource intensive and take time and bandwidth than a simple "reboot into the old verision", while with NixOS all they need is provide their own channel.

On Arch they could provide their own repos as well, of course, but a thing is keeping some derivations in sync, testing them etc, another is keeping a classic distro "de-facto semi-fork", it's again an order of magnitude more complex, resource intensive and time consuming. It's much simpler and faster a declarative ecosystem and developing with it then the classic model, astonishingly faster and simpler.

I know many have never tried so do not know, but the IT at Valve I expect should be a bit beyond "the many who have never tried", so well, just curious why.

This is a pretty common perspective that was introduced to me as “shifting the goalposts” in school. I have always found it a disingenuous argument because it’s applied so narrowly.

Humans are intelligent + humans play go => playing go is intelligent

Humans are intelligent + humans do algebra => doing algebra is intelligent

Meanwhile, humans in general are pretty terrible at exact, instantaneous arithmetic. But we aren’t claiming that computers are intelligent because they’re great at it.

Building a machine that does a narrowly defined task better than a human is an achievement, but it’s not intelligence.

Although, in the case of LLMs, in context learning is the closest thing I’ve seen to breaking free from the single-purpose nature of traditional ML/AI systems. It’s been interesting to watch for the past couple years because I still don’t think they’re “intelligent”, but it’s not just because they’re one trick ponies anymore. (So maybe the goalposts really are shifting?) I can’t quite articulate yet what I think is missing from current AI to bridge the gap.
The comment above said that there are EU countries with comparable GDPs to the US.

There aren’t any.

I don’t think per capita matters in this particular case since the difference in gross gdp is so dramatic.

There is a much bigger incentive to monopolize in the US because the pie is so damn huge that it offsets the cost of overcoming regulatory hurdles.
yeah it wasn't an option for a variety of reasons. for instance, landlord of the prior location will subdividing and reletting the space and that work will take time to complete. another consideration is remaining inventory tends to be the stuff that doesn't sell well anyway and even at a steep discount that inventory occupies valuable shelf space.
It's pretty impressive, just note (emphasis added):

> At Liquid AI, we take an open-science approach. We have and will continue to contribute to the advancement of the AI field by openly publishing our findings and methods through scientific and technical reports. As part of this commitment, we will release relevant data and models produced by our research efforts to the wider AI community. We have dedicated a lot of time and resources to developing these architectures, *so we're not open-sourcing our models at the moment*. This allows us to continue building on our progress and maintain our edge in the competitive AI landscape.

Looks like there's no paper (or similar) yet, either. Hopefully they'll release a more detailed writeup soon.
