Everything I've read from them indicates it's the same chemical, but in a specific formulation. It's described in detail in the patent (one of them: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200199161A1&#x2F

Yes, they have a few patents on the unique formulation (a hydrated crystalline form of psilocybin). See also: https://psychedelicalpha.com/data/psilocybin-patent-tracker

Can you redo your "fun fact" but include all types of guns?

I agree, but I don't have a subscription. The remaining technical challenge I have is related to stage positioning- in my system, it's important that all the image frames we collect are tagged with the correct positions. Due to s

When I worked there, there was a mix of training on nvidia GPUs (especially for sparse problems when TPUs weren't as capable), CPUs, and TPUs. I've been gone for a few years but I've heard a few anecdotal statements that som

I am a professional software developer who has been programming for 40 years (C, C++, Python, assembly, any number of other languages). I work in ML (infrastructure, not research) and spent a decade working at Google. In short, I consider

"If I asked you to calculate the inverse square root of 26 without a calculator, you’d probably be stuck for a while—and honestly, so would I." Um, 5*2 is 25 and 6*2 is 36 so we know the square root of 26 is between thos two and l

A lot of the credit goes to Laura Waller, a professor at UC Berkeley who has been really innovative in this area and trains a bunch of really smart students. She has a great Optics Fun page, https://www.laurawaller.com/opti

Although, IIUC, Cerebras expects some amount of imperfection and can adjust the hardware (or maybe the software) to avoid those components after they're detected. https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/100x-defect-tolerance

Managers and security team at google do not have access to your personal phone's data. A number of things in this article simply do not match my previous experience there. This has nothing to do with Epstein at all.

I think all the TinyMUDs I used (CMU and whatever the one in OK was), listened on nonstandard ports. I had to use a VMS system which had different telnet behavior (staircasing due to CR/LF mismatch) and originally used a locally develo

There's one thing I haven't figured out with netcat- how do you know it connected? (I just looked it up, after many years: the -v flag. Which makes sense because netcat is supposed to be "transparent").

Good stuff- I had to learn most of this on my own. Pro-tip: most of what you describe and document is already built into Qt, in the Graphics View Framework. It handles all the gunk around coordinate systems, canvas, zoom, scrollbars, and s

Much of this stems from Google's original design for its search engine, and borg. Borg was not a batch scheduler, it was a service-keeper-upper with loose relationships between individual containers. Google's design was never fr

Ah, my grandfather was a ham (N4MDB) and he always tried to get me interested in it, but I had to tell him I preferred the internet (this was late 80's, so few people actually had internet). Later when I read Stevens networking books

I didn't learn about this trick (deconvolution) until grad school and even then it seemed like spooky mystery to me.

MUDs were my introduction to telnet- I grew up a university kid and had access to Wesleyan's minicomputer EAGLE.WESLEYAN.EDU running OpenVMS. I used it to telnet to CMU's TinyMUD and later other TinyMUDs around the country. I re

So? You made a series of factually incorrect statements which I have debunked based on trivially determined facts.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the discussion. it sounds like there were a lot of heated emotions going around in that court case. (I try not to pay close attention to lawyer's arguments when they are histrionic)

It is also legal to u-turn before a police checkpoint in Florida and Texas. In fact I think it's true to say that you can do this in any state.

Wouldn't it be risky to do that? This is a multi-billion dollar gamble being executed in front of the public, egregiously breaking the law or making back-room deals both risk extreme negative public reaction if exposed. We know that e

In California (and I think most places) it's not illegal to make a (legal) U-turn to avoid a police checkpoint or otherwise avoid a checkpoint.

To be clear, California's legislators are paying close attention to Waymo, both because it's being deployed in their major cities, and because Alphabet is a California company. Depending on which legislator you listen to, Waymo is

Shouldn't pay be scaled to the locale? Note also the role here is fungible- Waymo could move to another location if they chose.

Taking a driver's test, and knowing the meanings of road symbols are two different things. At no time did I imply the workers are completely ignorant of locale-specific driving details- I imagine they receive extensive training on thi

It's not an attack, it's a statement, and he recently had a popular post about this (not linking it here, as he does not take kindly to links from hacker news).

I have no specific knowledge of the law or the tech requirements here, but I don't think that the state of CA makes Google get CA driving licenses for its phillipines service employees.

The scope of their actions does not require them to have passed a driver's test.

From what I understand, Waymo has never hidden the fact that they have remote operators, and also they have clarified that the remote operators are not actually "driving" the car (in the sense that they are not using a remote stee
