- natdempk 13y agoWhen this got posted before on HN the consensus was likely that the LSD got destroyed before he actually took any. I would really like to see that study done with more controlled dosing/storage.
- gwern 13y agoThe comments to that effect were balderdash.
- natdempk 13y agoRight, didn't realize that the article was updated to address some of the concerns that were initially left. Have you considered repeating the experiment with a slightly larger dosage?
- gwern 13y agoNo, not really. It's a relatively expensive and illegal habit, LSD has gotten much harder to get due to the black-market turmoil, and I think my experiment massively knocked down the already-low odds microdoses would do anything useful for me. It is unlikely I will ever revisit the topic unless some other high-quality blinded experiments are released.
- melloclello 13y agoI have tried microdosing. Took a sixth of a tab and disappeared for eight hours. When I emerged from this fugue state there was all this code there that wasn't there before~ In retrospect, that probably wasn't microdosing so much as it was just coding on acid.
- berberous 13y ago...how was the code?
- fdsary 13y agogp, you gotta let us know
- melloclello 13y agoterrible, of course. but I got my UIPercentDrivenAnimatedTransitions working at last and was able to tidy them up later. I think I spent the whole time just reading apple API docs. christ, what a waste of good acid.
