one often discussed topic of psychedelics is "ego shedding/death" usually seen as a positive thing, which it can be. But it can certainly misalign you for life as you currently know it. So, you may end up "in a worse sit

not sure how i feel about using this as the definition of genius. Feels more like how to become your "best self". Otherwise i like these perscriptions, but i do see contradictions like how some great inventions were under a lot of

i had a similar realization when i shattered my humerus, one arm completely out of commission for a month then a year of recovery. The only things i could do were TV/video games with a controller, ive always been a gamer but struggled

> Elon has always used Twitter as a way of getting attention for himself and his companies. It's his primary platform. Even ignoring his ego, it makes sense he would bump up his own content also so he can deflect or downboost critic

technically bing should have access to this regardless because it can access the internet (despite its training cutoff date) but its my fault for not digging deeper and trusting its output

good points. I can agree to that. However, I do think something did break down and I think your assessment below is more accurate than my initial take. > One may argue that this was really a failure in media communication vs. the actual

everyone in this thread should watch this, instead of "the excitement was good for everyone" they might realize these hoaxes harm scientific integrity. The audacity of HN to state something is good, without listening to scientists

this particular news cycle was the final straw for me using twitter. Its not worth 1-3day new cycle is 99% of claims are bs

can you make wires from cermets? Thats the point. we need a substance that is malleable(?) enough like copper wire that electrons can pass through. Pottery ceramic wont work like that.

we already live in exciting times. I wouldnt blame someone for explaining an idea that the scientists themselves came forward and claimed it as a valid result either. Blind optimism is NOT good in my opinion even if intentions are good

disagree, the excitement led nowhere. We already have high temp superconductors so even if it was real these applications can/are already handled. Its not harmless either, people invested time, money, and effort. its great to be excite

the most insane examples ive heard of are the parts are ID'd so you cant swap out generic parts for even tiny repairs, the os will warn you youre using unregistered parts and prevent use

> Ask for more information. very often this is part of the solution, asking for info isnt deflection in most cases. Usually the worst bugs are a result of some unknown unknown or excessive complexity in code. Discussion is often the best
