I haven't personally seen it either, though sounds like I'm less experienced than you. I've heard of a few though. In 2019 a bay area software engineer who by all accounts was a good guy, maybe somebody here knows him, attack

I remember when this style was current, though some of these images are slightly older than I am. Also, "a door somewhere" reminds me of old album covers. For whatever reason I'm thinking of Lou Reed's "take no pri

With psychedelics the risk profile is very different. Firstly, people can do harmful things during the trip. Second, a more vague, difficult to measure and predict concern around long term psychological effects to some people.

As was probably covered in the thread yesterday, it's kind of an impossible position. Anything she did can and would be attributed to Elon. Anything she could have done to challenge Elon would have resulted in being pushed out. Nobody

I think it's a mistake to view that situation as unique to English. Spain is still a multi lingual country with several local languages each of them centuries old. But even ignoring that and focusing only on Castilian, there were invas

I think it's older than 2025 and definitely has a piece of it that is specific to Catholics. I tend to think of northeastern American Catholicism from the lens of immigration. The big waves of Italians, Irish, Eastern Europeans, etc.

As someone with a family background of more left leaning Catholics (which I think are more common in the US northeast), it's interesting that it decided that you are conservative based on Catholicism.

Yeah I'm not going to go into everything but this was based on lab work.

This is a weird video to see after one of my son's doctors told me I should supplement him with zinc. Of course I'm following dosage recommendations.

The phrase "good enough for government work" was actually not originally meant ironically. It was for Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration and it was an optimistic statement on the quality of the work.

The problem is that Reagan/Thatcher's failed experiment is now considered an inevitable law of the universe. Taxes can only go down. Anything else is crazy. You get people talking about taxation's effect on the economy as a b

I'm not even talking about the financial status of these students, which due to the nature of the school sounds like it's pretty dire. I'm merely talking about stability for the child. This would be a stressful event even for

Are you a parent? It's still a very bad situation to abruptly need to find a new school, even if you get a pathetic $1000 coupon for a school which costs much more than that.

In the 1950s, we taxed income over $400,000 at somewhere around 90%. Anything you made less than that was taxed much less, but every dollar above $400,000 the government took most of it, which effectively put a cap on wages. Won't be p

As a parent, I can't imagine the chaos that ensues when your kid's school ceases to exist overnight. Keeping that school running is less than pocket change to them. I feel like their action is morally quite shameful.

It's important to know that the correlation can have some other cause. Like that people with predisposition to schizophrenia may seek out drugs. Keep in mind also the typical onset for schizophrenia is teenage years or early 20s in men

Are we reading the same tables? It seems to be about 3x faster than named pipes, and marginally faster than local TCP. It's worth noting that in Win32, an unnamed pipe is just a named pipe with the name discarded. So this "3x fa

Some years back Windows added AF_UNIX sockets, I wonder how those would perform relative to Win32 pipes. My guess is better.

Yes, I'm seeing this too. Came here to check if it's just me, since a bunch of status webpages say it's doing OK.

Supposedly mkultra was also experimenting with that use case.

Recent reporting is that he's also using LSD and mushrooms. In addition to other, unrelated drugs.

I think some people are shown to be more arrogant and egotistical after psychedelics. I know some folks in the HN audience will not like this example, but Elon Musk is one. An older cannonical example is Timothy Leary. No names are coming t

Sometimes when I log into a random website and I see a forced password reset, I wonder if it has been compromised, rather than setting a time-based expiry. If a site owner knows that certain accounts are part of a database breach or somethi

Don't be silly. I didn't say anything about shamans. I'm saying human existence is subjective. Culpability, like the courtroom joke above, is subjective. They're useful models for how the world works but it isn't ob

It's been several years and I'm not fresh enough to summarize it, but some time ago I read Carlo Rovelli's "The Order of Time" which is a pop science book on why that isn't true. Ymmv. I'm sure many readin

I think it's unclear what kind of determinism you are presuming. Determinism in the universe? Determinism in consciousness? Certainly a deterministic machine can exist in a non-deterministic universe. However I didn't just assume

I guess that's a joke, but it's actually kind of serious that causality, personhood, identity, free will, etc. are all social constructs. They are useful to us, but every now and then it's helpful and humbling to remember i
