Telling people I still easily (and sometimes more easily) “produce value” while being extremely stoned, most of the time makes them very angry, or at least visibly annoyed. I’m still unsure why.

Wow thanks people, that is a lot of comments. I really value that and most of your points are valid. It is interesting to see all these new insights from users like you!
I hadn't heard of miracope before, so thanks for sharing. I like how the website shows examples of source code for interscting with different providers using miracope and not. That was exactly what I was interested in.

With respect to MCP servers, I saw the comment below about integration with librechat. Is there any other documentation on integrations with other self host able solutions? Be it ollama or other.
I agree. (I'm a quantum skeptic personally.)
Does it matter?

Hypothetical question: imagine the president ordered troops to evacuate the library and then burn it down. Who exactly would be held accountable, and how?
I don't think it's crazy to say politics now is different and more disfunctional than the past. Congress can't pass anything substantive and needed to change their own rules to even appoint judges, the Supreme Court has overturned many precedents, and it seems like a lot of the actual policy is executive orders (and also what the executive branch chooses to enforce or not). And that ignores things like accusations of election fraud and a million other different points of nonsense that are shockingly mainstream.

The fact it's always been a mess doesn't mean it's not significantly more of a mess now than many times in the past (not that right now is the worst ever, it's hard to beat a civil war, but it's pretty bad).

It also looks really appealing to do tasks you have a very shallow and dismissive opinion of. For example, a lot of managers and c-level sorts seem to think it will replace developers. I think it would be great at summarizing and passing up reports and generating plausible looking meaningless text—so, it looks like it could do most management type jobs, to me.

But, I must try to have a little bit of self awareness here: if we all think it can do the jobs we don’t understand and don’t think it can do the job we’ve got experience in, then maybe that just indicates that it isn’t really very good at anything yet.
I know right. If polio causes paralysis then why do only 0.5% of people who contract polio become paralyzed? Checkmate.

That is mixing up necessary versus sufficient. If all people who develop Alzheimer’s contracted HSV-1 prior to developing Alzheimer’s and all people who did not contract HSV-1 do not develop Alzheimer’s (technically implied by my first statement), then you can make a good case for causality. Obviously you can do better, but that is a good start.
No, it is not.

The arithmetic used is not constant time, meaning the actual computational steps involved leak information about the secret, were either the recombination of the shares or the initial splitting were observed via side channels.

The arithmetic does not guard against party identifiers being zero or overflowing to zero, although it is not likely to occur when used this way.

The blatant corruption keeps people putting healthcare at priority 2 (or 10 really) by making them believe immigrants are coming for their sovereignty.

I disagree that people feel powerless to get healthcare, they are distracted. If you look at either party it is the one singular commonality between the two. Really it should be the flag ship of a 3rd party with the radicalized ideas second.

It doesn't take much to split your go.mod file require blocks into needed dependencies, and test dependencies, with a few comments explaining the why of each dependency.

Go tooling will preserve your go.mod comments and structure.

You can also consider moving integration tests and benchmarks to another module in the same repo.

> hopeful vision of the future that rings true to a majority of people

77+ million Americans don't want a "hopeful vision of the future". They want to be angry. They're addicted to the anger. They want to hurt people. Present them any vision you want; they are not ever going to pay attention to it.

Possibly. I'm a relatively recent comer to the c# ecosystem (2021ish). It's been good and avoids some of the warts of java.

I don’t know the body of law well but in law school I was taught that west of the Rockies, where most of these prior appropriation water rights shenanigans are, it’s generally illegal to capture rain water because it would interfere with others’ riparian rights.
You can create toy experiments to 'prove' just about anything - this is why social psychology has a replication rate in the 20% range. Though it's really much worse since that's only independently repeating the same experiments, not adversarially challenging hypotheses, at which point the entire field looks about as reliable as astrology. Quite appropriately since astrology, which was also studied as a 'science' for centuries, was highly influential on the founding fathers of modern psychology - Jung in particular.

And group differences are not only genetic. Why do you think that, for instance, 70% of American football or NBA players are black, while only 8% of baseball players are?

I sometimes wonder if Fox goes beyond extreme partisanship and into a sort of pavlovian training of their audience. I've watched Fox before and whenever there is a negative or scary story they follow it up with a story about Democrats. At what point does that association get burned into the audience so that Dem\Prog = bad?

To quote from a favorite sci-fi series:

> His respect for the building's late mad architect rose a notch. The building wasn't merely designed by a paranoid, it was well designed. Every room had its own biolab grade filtration system, in addition to the central unit that filtered and flash-cooked all returning air to destroy possible poison gases or microbes, before it was recirculated or vented. [...] No colds were going to be transmitted among-personnel here.

-- Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold

Back in the real world, how practical would it be heat-sterilize the air used the average hospital?

I found this [0] suggesting that for SARS-Cov-2 it might take 3 minutes at 65C.

I imagine that then you have the problem of cooling the air again on its return, in which case it might be preferable to focus on longer cycles rather than higher temperatures, making the infrastructure larger for a lower energy use.

If SMF was any good we'd be actually using it instead of systemd.
I wasn't there and I don't know your parents, so I can't claim to know for sure what was going on.

I've been on the other side of a similar conversation with my parents. I was a big Andrew Yang booster, going around ranting about how we obviously ought to establish a UBI immediately and anyone who says otherwise is a fool. As my parents correctly identified, I didn't really believe that, because I knew there were serious practical problems with funding such a program. But that doesn't mean that I was logically compelled to become a deficit hawk, or that I was brainwashed for not doing so. I was embracing the hyperbolic form of a problem I did (and do) see as quite important: we have enough resources to ensure that everyone in the US can live a decent life and ought to use them accordingly.
Certainly.

I for one am curious how this turns out. I give it an 80% chance of failing spectacularly, 20% chance of 'wow, we were wasting that much money?'

The fact is the federal government seems to grow and spend without any limit or regard to logic. It doesn't -feel- like much has ever been done to address it.

Well, now someone decided to just sledgehammer the whole thing. I'm both horrified and hopeful at what comes from that.
Facebook is a really good example of how sites can just grow on grift and negativity, then clamp down on it later. There was a time when the FB feed was overwhelmingly "help me water my crops in Farmville". Zynga became a unicorn and was eventually pushed off FB, but they're still making good money today, happy endings for all.

Fake news and unpopular opinions were also really big at one time. FB killed them, mostly by adjusting visibility of some posts more than others or burying the unreliable sites. It's also why people post links in comments though.

HN is a little different though - everyone shares the same "feed". Most social media show you what it thinks you want to hear. Whatever goes viral on HN is the same for everyone else. So you're also likely to be sitting next to someone with a political opinion you abhor. There's silent downvotes on certain trigger words, but in a sense that works too, because people just avoid topics that the community doesn't like.

I feel like Ask HN is also a vent for negativity, while Show HN is a vent for optimism and self-promotion.
So many comments to make about that situation.

But that aside, it seems to make sense to make the business and person the same when the business is you. No one else can truly replace that exotic FF dancer. Her clients die with her, and won't truly be replicated no matter what.

Odds are someone can be trained to do your paperwork and run your business. That may be the distinctive factor.
The problem is when the "career government staff" subverts democracy. This should be a problem that all sides of the political spectrum can agree on.
I never said the abuses of the system were the purpose of the system.

I said the abuses of the system fell within the types of actions that were the purpose of the system. Presumably there are also non-abusive ways to destroy people who are threats to national security, and those are included in their toolbox too.

The national security apparatus’s purpose is to destroy people (and organizations) which are a threat to ‘the nation’.

The national security apparatus itself is considered part of the nation, and somewhat plausibly important for national security, so a threat to it is a threat to national security eh?

Hence any threat to the national security apparatus is a threat to national security, and fair game to be destroyed by it.

Just because you or I consider that abusive doesn’t mean they do, and they’re the ones with the tools - and the apparent ability to- to get away with it.

Them using the same tools for stuff like LOVEINT is abusive to others of course, and outside their remit as those people were (usually) not plausibly threats to national security, but anyone who noticed they were doing it all the sudden became fair game because they were a threat to the system eh?

After all, taking away those tools would remove their ability to do the same thing to someone like a FSB agent who had dirt on someone at the Company, or who was trying to get close to someone at the NSA by dating them.

And the people acting on that have seen no consequences for doing so, eh?

Is it fucked up and corrupt? Yes. Is it self perpetuating? Yes. Is it inherent to the nature of the system and what they are doing? Yes.
I suggest config neovim from the very begining, it's really helpfully to me, trust me, worth it.

So I think I finally understood recently why we have these divergent groups with one thinking Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the best model for coding and another that follow the OpenAI SOTA at that moment.
I have been a heavy user of ChatGPT, jumping on to pro without even thinking for more than a second once released.
Recently though I took a pause from my usual work on statistical modelling, heuristics work and other things in certain deep domains to focus on building client APIs and frontends and decided to again give Claude a try and it is just so great to work with for this usecase.

My hypothesis is its a difference of what you are doing. OpenAI O models are much better than others at mathematical modelling and such tasks and Claude for more general purpose programming.
Great comment and matches my experience exactly. I suffered from inexplicable nausea similar to the author for years, not realizing the stress of my work was causing it. Ran all the same tests as the author, had similar experiences with doctors. Was dismissive about stress as a potential factor. Only when I had a “large life change” like you described — a sabbatical in my case - did things get better.

Completely changed my perspective on how stress can physically affect a person.
I see at least two possible reasons why it happened: 1. "Don't do something counterproductive" or "Don't get your priorities wrong" do not usually need to be said explicitly, 2. Standards "culture" values precision so much that they'd balk at writing fuzzy things like "Do typical null pointer things when trying to deref a null pointer".

Then later 3. "But we implemented it that way for the benchmarks, can't regress there!"
This is an thesis without argumentation. You've made no assertions and no statements that can be validated or refuted. You've said nothing. Few systemd haters do, in my view.

There's a lot of reasons to be pro systemd, because it does so much cohesively & well.

But if we just look at the task of running jobs, if we ignore all the other excellent management & other things in the systemd monorepo: when it comes to running programs, systemd is millions of miles head and shoulders above everything else. Like, everyone else was throwing shit up in the air, and systemd was launching fucking rockets. Nothing else has had even the faintest dose of taking itself seriously or trying to get good: it's all been sad recreations of 1970/1980's with no acceptance that the scope needed to be bigger, that we should have better more secure ways of running services.

Upstart may have been a semi ok way of wiring some kind of graph of services together, in an event based way. But honestly I prefer systemd's level-based way, rather than evented, because events don't reconcile in stable ways and level-based relationships do, are understandable not just sequences of actions but as relations of systems.

Its daunting as fuck, and I think this is why most haters hate systemd: because they don't want to get better. But a third of what's available in systemd.exec and systemd.service is absolutely crucial brilliant bundled-in ways to make your service more secure, to make it less of a risk. It exposes incredible awesome things the OS could do that most people simply never got good at doing, that the anti-pattern of sysv never could encompass. SysV said it was up to every service to define their own init scripts, and most of these were very very very dumb init scripts, bespoke and unique and brutally dumb mostly, grafting some random shitty bad shell scripting to running something in the background. Systemd exposes a cornocopia of offerings that Linux has to do this, but securely, safely, with isolation, in a standard, clear/concise (not having to delve into bespoke shell scripts) cross-cutting/repeatable way. Whats on tap here is amazing. None of the haters seem to have the faintest most remote appreciation or interest in getting good, in making any of this incredibly good potentiating shit available or on tap, much less in any repeatable consistent clear fashion. I think the haters are playing at such deeply sad forsaken stupid levels, actively fighting the ability to appreciate even remotely the awesome forces they - if they had any idea what was good for them - would be moving towards, be it via systemd or other.

Yes, 1/3rd of this is incredibly niche. 1/3rd is common/good/necessary and somewhat buried amid the rest. 1/3rd of it is just fantastically good security/safety practice that no one did, that no one knew about, that's just on tap, and easy to bring in, that's so accessible, that was so hard & weird & difficult to do before, that's such a colossal improvement in posture:

I mean, i understand the need to remove unnecessary costs like DEI etc, but actual productive output like science fundings etc are important in nation building.

What i dont like is how trump is looking to (or is being manipulated to) move a lot of public spending into private entities. For example, the recent ai stargate announcements. How is the public spending meant to benefit all americans, rather than the few that own those companies?

The change in gender differences is easily explained by more girls pursuing music from an earlier age. More people (as a ratio) from a group competently doing something means you end up with more highly successful outliers from that group.

I guess another thanks to Deepseek is in order.
The thing is, clumsy attempts to save money by randomly shutting down departments or firing staff can easily end up costing much more, by creating expensive problems that the departments were in charge of preventing. Or when a couple of years later it turns out you needed those things, and it's very expensive to try to start up a thing again, replace all the lost knowledge and institutional experience etc.
See this what I don’t get, these opinions my father has are based on lies and bad data. So I’m just supposed to look the other way and shrug my shoulders?

I honestly think it's a meme born of propaganda. 'Don't roll your own' is good advice a lot of the time when there are hardened libraries at your disposal, but who does it serve if less people know how to build useful cryptography? Three letter agencies mostly. I had no trouble implementing useful algorithms in college as part of my study of it, or understanding different potential weaknesses like timing or known plaintext attacks. We didn't cover side channels like power analysis but how often does that actually matter outside of a lab?
