Are you seriously comparing drugs and alcohol with video games and saying video games are worse replacements?

What the hell is wrong with you?
Most people get bored of any particular game given enough time. Any psychological dependency will disappear and fade away.

The reason drugs screw you over is that they enter your brain directly. The brain can't cope with direct chemical alterations through countermeasures on a mental level. For the brain to protect itself from that, it would need to activate the immune system and send out macrophages etc to physically get rid of the chemicals.

The message you are responding to did not say anything about homeless people in general, nor anything about race, nor economic standing.

Being a victim of violence is entirely compatible with being a perpetrator of violence. I believe that is very often the case.

But if you ever have a person in a crisp tailored suit come out nowhere at you with a knife in an effort to murder you for no reason than delusion or perhaps a desire to steal your backpack, please let me know.

This isn't a remark on wealthy people being more or less capable of physical violence, but rather that untreated serious mental illness is usually incompatible with maintaining a high maintenance lifestyle. While headwinds probably mean that many of the violent people on the SF streets did come from unprivileged backgrounds, I'm sure people from all different starting points end up there too.

It's not about morality, it's about incentives. Under the current system in the US, if you're broke and you have no insurance:

1. The ER is free to you, because they legally cannot refuse to treat you based on your ability to pay.

2. A regular doctor's visit costs $250 and your medicine costs $5-$500/month depending on what you need, because those businesses won't give you things they don't think you'll pay for.

One need not be morally bankrupt to make choice #1. We all choose things that are more expensive for society because they are more convenient or less expensive for us - lots of regular activities of what patio11 calls the professional/managerial class have negative externalities that the rest of society pays for: air travel, personal automobiles, and lawns all come immediately to mind.

If you want people to get their medical care from a PCP and their medicine from the pharmacy, then make it cheaper for them. Health insurance companies know this; that's why many plans lets you see your PCP for a small fixed price even before your deductible is met - because they want to incentivise you to get your care in the way that's cheapest for them.

Show HN: I listed all component libraries for any frameworks
I quit my dev job 2 years ago to work on projects I actually care about.

I built a CRM for philanthropy as a nonprofit, and on the side, I tinker with fun projects to learn new languages and sharpen my skills.

Recently, I was looking for new component libraries to use, but I realized… there’s no single platform showcasing ALL component libraries across frameworks—especially independent, bootstrapped ones. No wonder so many projects default to MUI, DaisyUI, and other mainstream options.

So, I decided to fix that.

I collected 75+ libraries for React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Rails, Nuxt, and more, then categorized them by features like Dark Mode support, Accessibility, and Customizability. If you've built a component library, you can submit it for free.

After launch, users requested more frameworks—so I automated the process with Make, letting me add new libraries in under an hour.

Hope you'll find new libraries to try on for your next projects and let me know if you know more or want to see new frameworks added to it
Almost 20 years ago I spent two years trying to get a homeless person off the street and made a movie about it:

https://graceofgodmovie.com/

It's an incredibly complicated problem, but if there is one message I can share it is this: homeless people are, first and foremost, people. They span the full range of human experience (the main subject of my movie had a masters degree in psychology) and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Homelessness is not one problem, it is a symptom of at least half a dozen different problems, all of which need different solutions. (And, BTW, some homeless people voluntarily choose the lifestyle. It's definitely a minority, but it's not zero.)

This is what I'm saying the ranger is doing. Someone who gets extremely distressed by indoor living is not a good candidate taxpayer funded indoor living. On the other hand, that housing given to someone who is capable of navigating welfare bureaucracy on their own may actually enable someone who is at risk spiraling down a path of no return to turn their life around.

But DOGE, Elon Musk and Donald Trump don't have zoning on the agenda.

Trump's campaign platform was verbatim in favor of single family zoning according to his website. Harris's official platform was to ease permitting restrictions and provide incentives to states to reduce these regulations, according to their website and the multiple times they discussed this on the campaign trail.

Look past the marketing hype of DOGE and see that it's not actually deregulating anything that matters. The regulations that are blocking housing and energy are only going to be accelerated under this administration -- wilfully so.

The technocratic center-right have at times embraced deregulations like this, but not the new populist-right. The populist-right, if anything, see these regulations as useful because it empowers the immigrant scapegoat tactic as an explanation for housing costs.

This article isn't particularly interesting on its own. Someone(s) wealthy thinks their physical gold is better off in the US than the UK. Cool. I wouldn't trust the UK with my gold either but it isn't clear what these wealthy people are thinking. There are some rumours that this is happening because of tariffs. That seems a bit weird; if the gold is happily stored in London then a tariff won't affect it - it'll still be in London. But whatever.

Thanks for the explanation--that was helpful. However I am not sure if microscopic states of the neuron are propagated as signals to nearby cells or only some sort of macroscopic state (like the sort of abstraction of thermodynamics) and I suspect there are bounds to the speed of change and number of these macroscopic states.

I guess at some point we should only count computations above some abstraction level otherwise we also undercount the computation power of a gpu.

Are we broadly in agreement? Even if we disagree above the relative computation power of the two

What is a brain operation? How do you measure that?

My point is that you can’t a make your argument because you’re comparing two subjects that have nothing in common beside the vague colloquial notion of “computing”

What and how your brain computes your response to my comment is wildly different than how digital hardware does.

They’re apples and oranges. No way to compare them on even ground, so no way to make the argument you’re trying to make.

We don’t have a shared metric with which to measure digital computation speed and organic brain computation speed, so your argument doesn’t make sense on the outset.
In the TXR Lisp repl, I implemented a feature I hadn't seen anywhere: submit a command recalled from history, and then move onto the next command in history. I assigned it to Ctrl-X Enter.

You can repeat sequences of multiple commands in your history without having to navigate back to each one individually. Just find the first one and submit one by one with Ctrl-O.

> Again statistics: we just think there is a “collapse” in possibilities when super-positioned information becomes to mixed up for us to remix.

You're ignoring all of the major problems which require additional assumptions for MWI to appear so parsimonious. The biggest of which being the preferred basis problem: a quantum system isn't just in a superposition of states along one axis, it's in a superposition of states along the axis you choose to measure. If you and I both choose to measure the same system along different axis, we'll get different (but correlated) kinds of results about the same particle pair (which is the root of the Bell inequalities).

Take an entangled pair of polarized photons, such that they must have opposite polarization, and send one towards you and one towards me. You'll measure the polarization of your photon along some axis, and I'll pick an axis that is 30% off yours. If we repeat the experiment many times, we'll conclude that percent of photons was polarized along the axis we each chose, and some percent was perpendicular. The percentages will be different, of course, and if we compare measurement results for individual events, we'll find that they correlate perfectly. But what can't be done, even in principle, is decide along which axis the photons were "actually" polarized.

So, the problem for MWI is: how come classical objects have real properties independent of measurement choice, and they all happen to have properties along the same axis, given that the quantum objects they're made of don't, and there is no collapse?

And this can't be explained away by statistics or entropy, because the amplitude of the wave function in QM is the same regardless of the choice of measurement axis. Even decoherence doesn't solve this problem, because lack of self-interaction doesn't affect the choice of basis.

The other problems with MWI have to do with the very notion of doing probability calculations, and then statistics based on them, in a perfectly deterministic world where every outcome of every experiment is fully realized. If you flip a coin and both sides come up, how can you tell if the coin is biased or not? Or, since you prefer the quantity of information concept, in the MWI it seems that there is 0 information from any experimental result, because you know ahead of performing the experiment that all of the possible results will happen with probability 1 (in some "branch"). So yes, information is conserved: it's always 0.
Standard defence after sth retweeted blew up. And it doesn't work like that.

Also, it wasn't "just a retweet". He literally wrote that he supported it.
That's true.

In shells, "test" and "[" are often used after "if", as for example

if test -f "some_file"
do_something
fi

if [ "$FOO" != "" ]
do_something_else
fi

Schemesh does not have a shell builtin "if", you switch to Scheme for that:

(if (file-regular? "some_file')
(sh-run {do_something}))

Thus the need for "test" and its alias "[" is reduced.

Also, "test" implements a mini-language full of one-letter operators: `-f FILE` `COND1 -a COND2` `COND1 -o COND2` etc.

I really don't miss it, as I find the equivalent in Scheme to be more readable - and of course more general

(file-regular? "FILE")
(and COND1 COND2)
(or COND1 COND2)

etc.

This is true, and that's why housing first is a terrible policy (I've seen it fail spectacularly first hand). Many of these people simply can't take care of themselves, and putting them in free apartments doesn't fix their situation, but it does make life miserable for long-term residents. All while being extremely expensive.

> Maybe they go maybe they don’t

Here they have frequent wellness checks. It doesn't solve anything. This shouldn't be a surprise - someone who's incapable of living civilly when given a free apartment likely isn't going to be a person who's going to put the time and effort into mental health classes.
