Ah, I knew I recognized the friendship between Jeff and Sanjay -- they were the subject of a New Yorker article in 2018:

EDIT: And HN at the time:

One number is not going to work for everyone. The only way to be sure is to get a blood test for Vitamin D levels. I get tested with my yearly physical, but if someone really cares they can get more frequent blood tests.

Privy just got purchased by Stripe: https://privy.io/blog/announcing-our-acquisition-by-stripe

By the way, if you liked this post, this taking-silly-things-way-to-seriously is the comedic wheelhouse of Nathan Fielder.

But the point still stands: if it's so straightforward, why give this person this treatment, instead of millions of other people?

For the sake of null hypothesis, how far and wide has the second most translated article reached? Is it also an (apparently) random stub?

That's what the OP link is about. Woodard is #2, below Turkey and above Japan.

I wonder how hard it is to change a game engine to render images like this, and if the effect would be preserved while panning.

I think the difficulty comes from it being context dependent, it's not a consistent distortion of the true image the way most projections are, it identifies synthetic structures in the foreground and warps everything else (including similar structures in the background) around them. It should be possible for an AI filter though.

I don't know why you've been downvoted so much. I'd expect a company to issue replacements, not refunds, when they're not the end retailer.

I was under the impression that Community Notes were designed to be resistant to sybil attacks, but I could be wrong. Community Notes have been used at Twitter for a long time. Are there examples of state-influenced notes getting through the process?

Twitter's Community Notes were designed to be resistant to sybil attacks. Meta is calling their new product Community Notes, but it would be a mistake to assume the algorithms are the same under the hood. Hopefully Meta will be as transparent as Twitter has been, with a regular data dump and so on.

Some comedy works have endured, like Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome (though it is helped by its huge influence on To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis).

I’m in my 40s and have no idea what either of those things are.

Endured how? No one knows what these are.

It's moving to schedule III, though the new company it's in really highlights how it should be descheduled instead:

> It moves pot to Schedule III, alongside ketamine and some anabolic steroids

Hopefully the first step but not the last.

At least according to one study, cannabis does slightly more harm than both of those, although that harm is still tiny compared to that done by alcohol. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/285843262_Drug_harm...

They do score ketamine higher than cannabis in "harm to user", but cannabis has a much higher "harm to others" score.

sure, marijuana shouldn't be considered 100% harmless, but it's ludicrous to argue it does the same amount of damage to people's bodies as ketamine (abuse can lead to kidney failure, bladder cystectomy) or even some sched. IV substances such as alprazolam (seizures from withdrawal can be fatal).

As someone who has taken ketamine for medical purposes and marijuana for not, it is utterly off-the-charts bonkers that they are classified identically.

A large dose of ketamine literally disconnects yourself from reality. Weed makes you tired.

You think a large dose of weed to someone who's not used to it just makes them tired?

It might make you high, but it won't kill you. It won't even harm you.

Why should subjective effects direct the scheduling of these drugs?

What should they be based on?

Actual harm, I think. I know that Ketamine has harm potential, but it's my impression that the physical harm only occurs with long term binge use, and that immediate physical harm due to overdose is unlikely. That the subjective effects during use are very powerful and overwhelming is not and should not be relevant, I think.

Benzo addiction is very dangerous. Withdrawal can lead to life threatening or altering outcomes. I have a hard time understanding what property the scheduling is based on

Naturally occurring human hormones should not be scheduled at all, they should be available over the counter to anyone over 18.

So now it is de-jure easier to get than ADHD meds instead of just de-facto easier.

Seems reasonable, considering the abuse potential is worse with things like Adderall than cannabis.

Ah, good catch. Yeah, I'll take the progress even if it's not exactly where I'd like policy to be ultimately.
