As someone who has personally dealt with mental health issues I attribute to use of cannabis, I agree with the underlying sentiment here.

The people in this thread saying things like, "they wear off" or dismissing clinical treatment for depression as "suits ripping people off" are delusional and embodying bad stereotypes. Just because you and your bros took mushrooms, had a few laughs and carried on "working hard on saas" or even had a beneficial, religious-type experience doesn't mean that there aren't also risks or that everyone will have a similarly beneficial experience. It's been known for decades -- both empirically and scientifically -- that psychoactive substances can surface latent or bring about psychological issues (e.g. cannabis and schizophrenia) in some people.

Now, I'm not against use of these substances medicinally or recreationally but to pretend like there is no risk and that they're a one-size-fits-all miracle cure is reckless, naive and dumb. As mushrooms and cannabis become more widely available and more powerful (in the latter case), I suspect we'll be hearing a lot more about this class of issues in the coming years.
That’s a great strategy when you live in the early 90s.

My reading is that the examiner thought "advanced custom fields" was too generic. WPE had until Oct. 19 to file a response or ask for an extension, and they asked for an extension on Oct. 4.

For "ACF" however, the examiner didn't see a problem and it has been published in the Federal Register. It will be registered if no one files an opposition during the publication period.

You don't need to have a registered trademark to sue for trademark infringement; registration does make it easier to assert your trademark and can increase damage in a court case.

Are you trying to imply that you have some teaching experience of your own? You're doing an incredibly bad job of establishing your credibility in this thread. Try being less combative and providing some substantive explanations for why you're so strongly convinced that there's no room for improvement over the status quo.

In particular, I'm curious how you come to the conclusion that high-quality video content cannot work better for "the vast majority of students" than sitting in a lecture hall. Do you have any theories about what kind of student good video content can work well for?

> And nobody said it did. But the thought that obese people haven’t considered therapy is absurd. Most of them do so for depression, not the obesity, but they are usually related.

Citation needed. As I understand it, serious therapeutic psychological treatments for obesity are highly stigmatized in the US. You may be projecting your own experience onto a group that does not share it.

By the way, CBT as used for depression and for obesity are totally different types of CBT. CBT methods are highly tailored to the specific thought pattern you want to prevent.

This is simplified, but:

Say you have a billion dollars in cash. With rates at 0% and inflation at 2%, you might as well spend that cash by hiring some engineers and chasing a hit product. Or an OK product.

With rates at 5% or so and 2% inflation you can make decent money keeping your cash in a savings account paying 5% YoY. Unless you're sure you have a good idea, you might as well park the cash and skip out on all of that "hiring engineers" business, which may not result in a good product anyway.

Interesting. Related, I finally made it inside Marion Davies’ guest house on Santa Monica beach last summer. Only open on Sunday afternoon? Took me twenty years to arrive at the right time for the tour (by accident). It was part of a huge mansion that was torn down a long time ago.

Anyway photos inside show the property right on the beach, though today it is a good ~half mile/1km away. That part of the beach is too wide imho makes it seem empty.

> The people on these medications have tried everything. Talk to literally any obesity doctor and ask them about their patients.

Citation needed on this one. Almost all the obese people I know have never seen a specialist doctor about it, so I assume your anecdata have selection bias. The people who see obesity doctors are the ones who have tried everything. Not the average obese person.

I don't personally mind if you or anyone who really needs it and gets prescribed the thing by a specialist takes Ozempic. I don't think any drug use, be it Ozempic, abortion pills, or estrogen, should be stigmatized for the individuals taking it. I do think it's a sign of a societal ill that a large majority of the people taking Ozempic are not in that situation.
I wrote a recent paper in typst. We ended up converting it to latex at the last minute to work with the conference’s submission guidelines, and work around a small bug (now fixed) in typst. But I would 100% use typst again. I wish it output html so I could use it for blogs & documentation.

The maths support was more than good enough for what we needed, and I enjoyed writing it a lot more than latex maths. The macro-equivalent support in typst is fantastic. It’s a standout feature. It has a full, modern-feeling programming language built in, complete with modules, functions, variables, arrays, the whole works. And there’s a growing ecosystem of 3rd party packages you can use with typst. Our benchmark scripts output the results into json files. Then when the typst document compiled, our typst source pulled in the benchmarking data directly from those json files. Then it used that data to populate tables and render charts directly, straight into the pdf. It was a lovely way to work.

(Though that said, I ended up swapping to a more fully featured external charting library because the charts it created looked better).
I mean, this thread has itself very clearly turned into some crypto-fetishist fan fiction, completely departed from reality. I guess it’s just what came to mind.
Lake Michigan is BIG. The location of this thing isn't public but Chicago is closer to Cleveland than the middle of Grand Traverse Bay. Washington DC and NYC are closer together than Chicago and G.T.B.

I'm no expert in the Great Lakes but I'm surprised they found something that far north that old. From a little reading the glaciers were retreating from that area around the same time frame. I guess +/- 1,000 years is a big deal.

There are a bunch of cool signs of the precursor to Lake Michigan around Chicago from the time when the lake was "capped" in the north and drained to the south. Blue Island and Stony Island were real islands. Ridge road to the north marks where the shore once stood. Pretty cool to imagine.

According to GPT, the price per kilometre for rail travel is between €0.23-0.46 in the UK and €0.13-0.20 in Germany. I'm not able to verify those numbers but from my own personal experience I wouldn't doubt it.

Rail in the UK is just so bad that I stopped using it to go to the airport. Everything is constantly delayed or cancelled like I can plan a journey to arrive 2hrs before my flight and the train will randomly pause for 1hr when I'm half way... also the luggage situation is extremely stressful as the racks are out of sight and generally full, like where else am I meant to put my large suitcase after that?

It seems like trains are much larger in Europe with a lot of double deckers.

If there's two of us it's easier and sometimes cheaper to pay £100 for a taxi to the airport door to door (we're fairly rural)
I use IBM Plex Sans (proportional) as my default Emacs font, with variable-pitch as a no-op (i.e., defined as "(variable-pitch ((t nil)))" in custom.el), and use IBM Plex Mono as fixed-pitch.

Tips for using a variable pitch font as the default:

0. Choose default fixed and variable pitch fonts with identical baseline-to-baseline heights for a given size; this makes everything described below work better (e.g., this is true for all fonts in the IBM Plex family across all platforms I regularly run GUI Emacs on [Linux, Mac, Windows]).

1. Define a fixed-pitch-mode by copy-pasting the built-in variable-pitch-mode and making the obvious changes (both are trivial applications of buffer-face-mode).

2. Add fixed-pitch-mode to hooks for modes that don't play nicely with variable-pitch fonts (calc, dired, hexl, magit, terminal and shell modes, etc.), or where you just prefer fixed-pitch modes (hint: define your fixed-pitch-mode in a package so you can use use-package's ":hook ((foo-mode bar-mode … baz-mode) . function)" syntax to manage this).

3. Some modes that pop up windows (frames in Emacs parlance) within editing buffers require extensions (e.g., company-posframe-mode for company-mode) to work properly in variable pitch buffers.

4. Last, but certainly not least: assign a convenient key binding to toggle fixed-pitch-mode. I can't emphasize this enough! In fact, I've found that variable pitch is fantastic for coding in most languages if and only if fixed pitch can be quickly toggled on and off with a keystroke, iff this setting is per file rather than global (and iff both fonts have identical line heights, but this is a feature of font families rather than editors).

For this reason alone, I'd argue that Emacs supports variable pitch fonts better than most text editors.
Fair. I think to an outsider "Advanced Custom Fields" does sound generic. But in the WordPress world it is the gold standard for which all other plugins are judged. If you look on Wordpress subreddit threads like this one [0] and search for "ACF", you'll see it's one of the most known, respected and relied upon. So in that sense the name is very valuable and distinct.

Whether or not that means it will be granted I have no idea. On one hand it's only known in WordPress circles. On the other hand, WordPress is said to account for over 40% of the web.

Yeah, they are mostly for cloud providers. They will be running all of our docker containers and Kubernetes clusters and function as a service workflows as well as our databases.

The typst editor plugin for vscode is pretty great. It gives you a split view of source & pdf, and you can cmd+click on either side to scroll to the corresponding source / rendered output. It also does things like give you autocomplete on fields from externally referenced json data.

Obviously, that might be no help if you’re married to eMacs. But if you’re a little promiscuous with editors like I am, give it a try.
CEOs can get away with a lot if they're successful; Elon Musk is a good example. That only goes so far, though. If he wins the trademark lawsuit, he can probably do whatever he wants.

No, it doesn't make it a tense. Different moods may have their own form in one or more tenses and it has nothing to do with being "optional" either. To be fair, distinction is a bit artificial, but generally these are defined by their meaning. "Tense" applies to variability in time (past, present, etc), and "mood" applies to variability in reality (factual statement, hearsay, wishful thinking, etc)

This interview covers a few different topics, like detecting flaws in the Venezuelan elections, to dangerous applications of AI, to monopolistic control of AI (towards the end of the interview).

Monopolistic control is clearly a problem, and all the barriers (money for GPUs, regulations that pull up the ladder, hoarding of user data, ability for big companies to copy smaller ones, etc) make this AI transition problematic unless we also come up with new easy to enforce antitrust regulations.

But I think an even bigger issue is that these monopolists are all closed source. Open source in AI means we should be able to reproduce their exact model. Everything from training data to censorship filters needs to be transparent. Otherwise we really have no idea how we might be getting manipulated through these systems, whether by the company providing the models or those who can regulate or pressure or otherwise control those companies.

No advertising? You probably mean billboards, but openAI’s advertising includes making a very big fuss about the “dangers” of a stochastic text generator. Advertising is whatever gets people to think about your product. But the demand was created on false pretences, so it also lead to a rational fight against the nonsense. It’s like we got sucked/trolled into a hype. And there are more meaningful things we could have spent our time on.

The line between solitude and loniness is time and choice.

In all their examples, those people choose to be alone for a period of time. But could easily choose not to. Also the time alone is limited.

Though, loniness can happen with other people, not having anyone at all is a very lonely feeling. I remember seeing videos of people saying they have no friends and start breaking down in tears.

As I age and past friendships fade away, without any new ones due to my personality, habits, I wonder how long until that'd be me.

I think your argument is as valid as the one you're responding to.

>The system has as much interest in curing your depression as it does curing obesity.

Ironically enough, the system hasn't cured obesity (if you believe obesity is primarily caused by a poor environment) and seems to instead to be headed towards managing symptoms by hacking our hormones and brains with semaglutides, etc. But at least you can work.

If you use a similar train of thought applied to depression - we're now in a situation where something like 50 million Americans are on antidepressants or antianxiety medication. 1 in 6. This is also treating symptoms and putting people into a state of being able-bodied without being so well as to remove their dependency on the drug. But at least you can work.

So I think the original idea fits with the concerns you outline. Mass producing a few drugs to keep a majority of the population able-bodied might not be that much money in the big picture.

I'm not a firm believer in this theory, but I can totally believe an overly complex system with poor incentives and no absolute oversight can lead to these outcomes.

Ah, Typst -- the Wayland of formatting systems.
The time for the mishap report of IFT-1 was reasonable enough, they had a pretty serious issue in that the booster's FTS turned out to be insufficient. It also took them until the end of July to repair the pad and test the new deluge system. By mid-August they submitted their incident report to the FAA. The investigation was closed in early September. This was something even Elon admitted, saying that retesting the FTS would probably be the limiting factor for when IFT-2 could fly because it didn't destroy the vehicle as it was supposed to.

The unreasonable delay you might be thinking of, was between the FAA's closing of the investigation in early September, to the IFT-2 launch in November. That was under pretty similar circumstances to now, Fish and Wildlife Services was taking forever to do its part of the job, SpaceX went to Congress, the resulting pressure forced them to get things done faster.
