For some background, there is a documentary that describes the past and the current state of using hallucinogenic drugs for therapy: “How to Change your Mind” on Netflix.

Very well written, thank you. Long enough to cover the subject, short enough to retain interest. If you have more of these on various subjects I would pay to read them. Perhaps make a book “Byte-size introductions to various CS topics” or s

That memcpy will read past the buffer boundary for small strings. Possibly a segfault or even information disclosure if string_to_uint64 is naively reused for another purpose. You’re probably “safe” wrt segfaults with default memory allocat

Yes. Which is why ChatGPT is open to public.

It occurred to me that every time you issue a correcting prompt you’re feeding the beast more knowledge. That’s why ChatGPT was released to the public - to collect more knowledge. It’s like a giant Wikipedia, continuously improved by the ef

I’m similarly shocked. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such low lever of discourse here, and we have had some controversial topics. Almost makes me wish you penalized every single account that commented here. It would not be just, but it might

He might not have had a choice in the matter - the passport issued by the Soviet / Russian authorities had the spelling chosen by the authority, not by the person. It’s possible to change your spelling in the US documents but now diffe

How do you handle high availability? Ideally I would want to not lose many transactions and have automatic failover. SQL Server has that, but it not the default config, and it becomes expensive af.

It’s tricky. This will round (-2,-1) to -2, i.e. away from zero. For comparison, if we perform the canonical (a+b)/2 instead it will round to -1, i.e. towards zero. Now, the problem statement does not tell us how to round, so you’re te

Can you provide an example of a solution that someone without prior exposure could come up under 30 minutes? I'm having a hard time coming up with something that is not a monstrocity full of if s.

So what sort of answer do you find satisfactory? It seems like the "right" solution is non-trivial bit twiddling, do you expect people to come up with that, or stop sooner than that?

There’s no limit to what you can do when testing your model on the training dataset.

It’s not obvious to me. It might degenerate into an alphabet soup, or it might stabilize around something higher level. I guess it’s on the same spectrum.

As time goes more content on the internet will be produced by these models, and eventually these models will be learning from each other rather than from humans. That kind of snake eating its own tail will likely accumulate errors over time

I’m trying to tease apart the bandwagon effect from the fundamentals you’re describing. The reason why the distinction is important is that the bandwagon effect will come and go, while the fundamentals can stay negative for any amount of ti

Something I wanted to discuss - the bandwagon effect. If you want to do layoffs you will be best suited doing them at the same time as all the other companies. That’s because normally layoffs bust morale and lead not only to the ejection of

Thank you. Did you use any particular book or blog post when mapping the method to the app? I've found one book, but not sure if good https://www.amazon.com/How-Take-Smart-Notes-Obsidian-ebook/d...
