If he said unblinded at some point, it could have been because the study author looked into the cup to determine which substance had been taken too soon. The subject should have had no knowledge of what was taken until the entire 16-month trial was over.

We should avoid extreme polarization of our judgments in general. The study deserves some amount of praise for things it did somewhat well (like the method of blinding which is clever, but not applicable to everyone), and criticism for things it did not do well, such as designing your own study methodology for your own mood. That alone will affect the results. Simply RUNNING an experiment can affect your mood because it's interesting (or even maybe frustrating). The subject probably felt pride and satisfaction whenever they used their pill selection technique, which could improve mood on its own. Neither accolades nor complete derision are appropriate, although trying to claim too strong a result from this study is kinda deserving of derision if you claim to be science-minded.

The study was well-meaning and displayed cleverness.
Cooking shows are a perfect analogy for this stuff. For some reason I never connected the highly-edited-mass-appeal "watch someone do skilled work" videos on YouTube with Food Network style content until just now, but you're right they're totally scratching the same basic itch. They make people feel like they're learning something just by watching, while there is really no substitute for actually just doing the thing.
> This should be very easy to answer, but no one ever does.

I don't think this is very easy to answer. The fact that people think it should be very easy to answer this, shows how naive they are, because the reason why country x think country y is a threat could include a lot of information and context that is not available to an external observer.
Adding to this:

About half of the US companies over a certain size run on ERP software from an European vendor. And it is not trivial at all to change that, even if they wanted to.
They work to get quarterly profits up/losses down, and that's really all the matters to stockholders who want to decide to hodl or sail.
I don't really know your situation, so this is not really an answer to you, but I know way too many people in this situation, so I'll chime in with some experience.

My previous company is a horrible workplace, so after I left a lot of ex-colleagues also revealed they've also been wanting to leave. They all mention the job market currently sucks and that "the pay is too good and nobody is giving the same salary". So they all stayed at the company and are complaining about the ridiculous 1.5% salary increase which the HR attributes to "the CTO being spineless and afraid of the CEO".

I have passed their numbers to recruiters, I have recommended them at companies I said "no" to, I have even took time to coach them. But when I talk with recruiters it's the same: "ah yeah your guy just ghosted me", "can you ask them to reply to my email?", "they missed the first interview I set up for them".

Digging deeper, they're all depressed. They're not doing sports/activities, not going out anymore, not traveling, not replying to messages...

My friends from the company that are still thriving at the job? I still see every week.

Three of the happy ones got promotions straight from the CEO, because the problematic CTO does not give promotions. The other happy ones all work in different parts of the company.

So for anyone in this situation I would stop and assess your mental health. A job can really fuck you up, and some bosses will fuck you up regardless of how good you are.

So: It might be the case that the problem is the job, it might be the case that the problem is not there, but it requires one to spend a non-trivial amount of energy that is currently being sucked by the job.
I think you need to reassess your instrumental subgoals, because this isn’t a game you can win by owning the libs: if Trump fucks the US hard enough, your life is still gonna suck even if everyone blames Biden and hates democrats.
I mean, doing that is pretty much what made him (semi-)famous in the first place (https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611).
>You are filtering for the most desperate candidates, not the most suitable ones

Maybe. I'd say "motivated" rather than desperate. Desperation might motivate, but another motivation might be that this is a job that is a really good fit for me, or is a company I really want to work with. As opposed to a job I could do but isn't a good fit.
> Do his supporters really want this?

After many long discussions, I can only conclude it less about the values of the supporters and more about their psychology.

His supporters want whatever he wants, as long as it means that the right people get bullied. There's not much deeper thought than that.

It's very sad to see people that I respected debase their own principles so that they can remain proud Trump supporters. Their identity appears tied to the decision, and I know only one person who had the principles to to respond to any of Trump's actions with "OK these people actually have no clue what they are doing." (Which was in response to their treatment of Zelensky in the Oval Office).

Canada’s largest newspaper published an opinion piece [0] calling for the cancellation of F-35 purchases. The article calls out source code availability in its argument.

[0] https://archive.is/2LLkO
The Rafale has claimed F-22 kills, but also consider that the competition here isn’t a straight up war against the United States but rather against Russia. As we’ve seen in the invasion of Ukraine, they don’t need advanced 6th generation fighters to handily best Russian forces using Soviet-era technology, and drones are FAR more significant in that kind of combat. Even if the F-35 was better at those types of missions, the high cost of the aircraft and support suggest that this might simply accelerate the shift away from human-piloted aircraft.

If your threat model did include a war within former NATO members, the F-35 is the worst possible choice so another way of thinking about this is that they should pick the best option which is actually available. That would mean things like swarm attacks and strikes on the airfields where those stealthy but extremely fragile planes are housed. Even if the public range is significantly low, they’d need a base closer than Greenland to strike European targets.
Has India ever had independent thinkers?
I think it's probably you. I've been a subscriber to Asimovs for 5+ years and every issue has at least one or two stories that make me say "wow." But I figure at some point I will have read enough stories that I'll run out of "wow"s. Maybe you're there already.
You really scooted away from the fact that yes, since drug overdose deaths have been tracked, more people have been killed by drug overdoses than by the US government in combat. You brought in a bunch of irrelevant data to hide the fact that you are lying out of your ass.

You are a pathetic excuse for a propagandist.

I got that email too. When it wanted my credit-card number I didn't have my wallet by my side so I thought I'd do it later. When I remembered the next day and wanted to give it a try again I was told I had already used the code.

Guess not then.
this space is moving really fast, I suggest before forming an definitive opinion try the best tool, such as the latest Claude model and use "agentic" mode or the equivalence on your client. For example, on Copilot this mode is brand new and only available in vscode insider. Cursor and other tools have had it for a little longer.
Sachs is lying about Maidan. Absolute majority of Ukrainians in Western and Central Ukraine supported it, like 80-90%. Millions participated, hundreds of thousands took active part, trying to be at the protests almost every day.the protests lasted for four months, from November to February, which is fairly cold in Ukraine. I was there at the time, yet Sachs just casually drops “I’ve been told they are all paid”, without any evidence.

That is propaganda
Not necessarily, there are a lot of drugs that have reduced or no effect for certain individuals. Think caffeine or alcohol tolerance.
>What is the long term effect on accuracy when a large mass simply moves XX% of their monthly paycheck into top ETFs?

Such investments are typically market cap weighted, which means their effect on stock prices are neutral. Moreover there's still room for hedge funds (and other sophisticated) investors to engage in price discovery.
But the F-35 is functionally useless. If Russia, being the only threat to Europe invades, the US will shut down the F-35s.
But the argument is only based on publicly available, historic facts. That is my problem with painting it as propaganda.

Replacing the jammers shouldn't be "horrifically difficult", might still be expensive though.
Obviously I’m talking about re-creating the economic policies of the 1950s, not the equality policies.
That’s what I expect: long careers in NATO for Ukrainian veterans who can extrapolate from the high-point of USA and Russian arms.
The Israelis weren’t given a choice in the matter. The challenge is that parts of the software required for some key capabilities use advanced computer science R&D that is not in the literature.

You can fly the airframe but there is a significant reduction in capability unless you can also produce equivalent algorithms and data processing technology.
Europe had no reason to spy on the US before, why shouldn't the EU produce a carbon copy of the F-35? There is already a plant making them in Germany. If the US is tearing up treaties then why can't the EU tear up their promise of not stealing military technology?

> I get the wrong mail all the time and other people get my mail.

I talked with my local postmaster about this. They do care about misdelivered mail and will correct an employee/contractor quickly if you let them know.

The problem is that the Post Office is now heavily relying on temp workers to fill delivery positions, but they do not pay enough to keep the positions filled, so there’s a lot of churn.

Your feedback won’t have much effect until your route is staffed consistently by the same worker.
5 years ago was when it became totally unusable and I stopped trying to find a way to use it. COVID gave a lot of people with a half ounce of power the green light to trump up 'misinformation' as murderous/violent, which was applied writ large.

>Somewhat surprisingly they are OK with Ukraine joining the EU [1].

So this makes sense to me. Basically I think it is US that Russia sees as a threat (because may be US seen Russia as a major threat and wants to break it up).
Realistically, is there anything the Danes could do, except protest?
Fair point! Thanks for clearing that up for me
Only Anticholinergic drugs appear to be associated dementia (but as noted the evidence is very weak).

Older first generation antihistamines such as Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), Doxylamine (Nyquil) have substantial Anticholinergic activity.

A lot of the second generation antihistamines have no significant Anticholinergic activity, eg. Azelastine.

Benadryl and Nyquil are terrible drugs. Why they haven't been phased out is beyond me. At least Azelastine is now OTC in the USA.
"French doctrine"
Is this a joke ?
could not agree more. I look at this as basic economics, in order to “have more” you have basically two choices:

- increase earnings

- decrease expenses

Twitter was profitable before the takeover and now it is not
if it's real that person interviewed at least one candidate per day last year. Idk what kind of engineering role in what kind of org where you even do that.
Case in point: Google's attempt at casually turning every user into a renter of their own devices via Web Environment Integrity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Environment_Integrity under the false pretense of protecting sites against bots. Google is continuously implementing more and more draconic control of users and their hardware, and they keep using security as the argument. It is now de facto impossible to run an open source build of Android, like LineageOS, without also losing access to a wide range of apps which refuse to run without a hardware attestation from Play Integrity API.

Chrome is not enough at all; Google also needs to sell off Android.
Or it doesn't happen like that
You really make the best point here. End of the day, the 1986-style WW2++ strategy is dead. Manned air superiority outside of the third world is dead.

The Russian failure is the exemplar. They were re-waging WW2, and they have little more than a lot of cooked tankers to show for it. Now we’re rolling with throwing prisoners into trenches to stop the maneuver warfare, because they can’t maneuver.

The US is probably in as bad of a condition. Given the poor performance of air power in Ukraine and the Trump/Putin driven destruction of world alignment, US naval power is questionable. Aircraft carriers will become ineffective as modern SAMs are sold on the market. Our submarine platforms are old, manufacturing is barely operational, and we’ll probably fire key individuals if we haven’t already.
I think this from French senator Claude Malhuret sums it up:

This is a tragedy for the free world, but it’s first and foremost a tragedy for the United States. [President Donald] Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you, he will impose more tariffs on you than on his enemies, and he will threaten to seize your territories, while supporting the dictators who invade you.

I’ve thought for a while now that the U.S. has spent a long time building up subjective resources in goodwill, trust, reliability, etc. (you can certainly bicker about the details here). But with Trump, they’re cashing in on all of that. They’re selling the laptops and office chairs (sometimes quite literally) as a business strategy.

I think there’s a fatal misconception among many Americans about where their prosperity comes from. They’re not special or exceptionally capable by any means. It comes from wielding tremendous economic and military power gently, preferring cooperation over conquest.

My concern is that the consequences of the current strategy are too far into the future to act as a sufficient deterrent. It’ll feel like it actually works for a time. But then eventually everyone hates you and adapts to exclude you.
Yeah, the empty nest is a trying time when you've identified primarily as "father" for over two decades.

At the same time, "reinventing myself" was to retire at exactly that moment. I was lucky of course to be able to do that — by cashing-out the expensive California home and then "down size" back to the midwest where I grew up.

I am considering substitute teaching in the area in order to maintain an income — a more modest one, this being Nebraska.

Wouldn't that be insider trading? You can't short your own company before announcing bad things to make money from it.
> 8. Europe puts boots on ground and air cover over UA.

Given the size and battle experience of their armies I think that it's more probable that it's Ukraine that will cover Europe and not viceversa. And if they'll have to flee their country add a 12th point the UA army takes sanctuary in the EU that goes the way of Lebanon in the 70s when another army had to flee there.
It's also quite possible Hiveworks is getting bought by someone that the creators in question don't want to touch with a long, long pole.

My personal guess, though, would be that Hiveworks wanted creators to sign an updated contract that had some terms around feeding their stuff into genAI and creators who could are NOPEing out of that.

I cannot overstate how much comic creators don't want to touch managing any of this, so n=2 or more of them leaving in a short window is a really, really bad smell.

>E.g. no HFT firm should be able to make a profit from such a stock market. Selling stocks earlier and often should result in a penalty or percentage being taken away as a fee.

Maybe by "HFT" you only mean "those evil hedge funds that are pushing companies to chase next quarters' earnings", but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with high frequency trading. Market making[1] is high frequency trading, and basically involves offering to both buy and sell and given stock, and pocketing the spread. That increases liquidity, making it easier for other traders to buy/sell stock without taking a huge loss. It's unclear why you'd want to ban this, or how you'd distinguish this from whatever evil HFT you actually want to ban.

Trump: 77,302,580 votes / 49.8% of popular vote
Harris: 75,017,613 votes / 48.3% of popular vote

It doesn't matter it wasn't 50%. He actually won the popular vote this time.
A week ago Trump killed the western alliance when he made it clear that allies could not rely on the US. This week he has killed the US weapons export business. Not a single country will trust them now. It would be quite an interesting thing to watch if we didn't have to live here.
I don't really care what he wants, but apparently tens of millions of Americans want isolationism. We have tried to make it clear that this will be an economic disaster, but they won the election and they get to make the decisions. So rich lunatics it is.

Really sorry for Ukraine, though. We knew back in November that this meant certain death for them.
What exactly do you think are so special about American made products? The only reason that America’s allies have bought them in the past is because of Pax Americana. That’s about to end if not has ended already.

BAE Systems along with other European arms/aerospace manufacturers are perfectly capable of making competing products.
Trump has had it out for Ukraine since he tried to bribe them. Telling them to find dirt on Biden or he would withhold military assistance. They didn't go for it and it is what directly led to his impeachment. While Russia absolutely owns Trump, I believe Trump would do this even if they didn't.
This has been my experience as well. I find that the copy/paste workflow with a browser LLM still gets me the most bang for the buck in both those cases. The cli agents seem to be a bit manic when they get hold of the codebase and I have a harder time corralling them into not making large architectural changes without talking through them first.

For the moment, after a few sessions of giving it a chance, I find myself using "claude commit" but not asking it to do much else outside the browser. I still find o1-pro to be the most powerful development partner. It is slow though.
It does not really change my argument, if you exclude Russia from the group. It was about possible alignment options Europe now has.

However, any power able to incinerate large parts of the planet is a bit more than a regional power, in my eyes.
Short term no. Langer term they would use it to leverage other things like Google does. Maybe not advertising, although they do seem to be leaning on that now with ads in software.
They all create export agreements where countries have to seek permission to reexport and more. Usually for political plays.

It's also the same reason the Swiss defense industry is now in collapse. Because they refused to allow re-export of ammo to Ukraine citing Swiss neutrality.

It immediately made all Swiss made ammo worthless for all european countries in event of war. Lol

Apparently the Swiss are still talking of revising their law while their defense industry is crying because nobody wants to buy their shit as European countries want to be able to help other European countries. Especially circles like the Nordic or Baltic regions where the countries are extremely buddy buddy.
The article is nice and the intention seems to be good, but it’s not backed up by the fundamentals. The salary range posted in the job listing is low enough that anyone who would answer the questions to my satisfaction (personal opinion) and is an autodidact would instantly ignore the entire listing or leave a year after joining once they realized how valuable the skill they have actually is.
Having conducted 50+ interviews with Indian and international candidates, including those from FAANG, you can’t just discount these skills by 50-75% of their value and then post an article asking where they are in good faith.
Is there a webgpu version of this?
> Do his supporters really want this?

That's like asking whether a child wants the sugar crash that will come after eating the candy bar. They're not able to see that far ahead. They'll only "get it" when their lives have been made significantly harder, and even then it's not likely they'll be able to attribute their misery to the administration's policies--they could very easily be convinced to blame some minority group or foreign nation.
Why not just squares or rectangles? Is there a simple explanation?
They might not know those words, but intuitively know that stuff like "ice cream trucks cause heat waves" make no sense.
I don't know why anyone trusted us post 2016. Even with a sane President it was always clear that we were dangerously unreliable. And even if this insanity ends in four years it will always recur.
