rootw0rm··on Study drugs make people worse at problem solving, not better
I'm curious about how that would play out, too. That's the reason this article is interesting, IMO...the questions it made me think about regarding these drugs.
rootw0rm··on Study drugs make people worse at problem solving, not better
It seems like a fairly reasonable study to me. I don't see how the study participants' possible lack of familiarity with the drugs diminishes the value of the data.

From the article: "Star performers during the placebo session fell to the bottom of the pack when they had taken the drugs."

That directly refutes your assertion they were doing a novel task for the first time.

Google Workspace. update your MX records and use Gmail on your domain. I do it for my hobby stuff.

i haven't self-hosted email in the last decade, but last time i did...self hosting email sucked. every aspect of it was a pain in the ass.

I tried out Fi when right when it came out, was pretty happy with it. fell on hard times, homeless here and there, so i paused my account because I was broke. I was able to unpause/repause my account every 6 months for a couple years and keep my phone number without paying a dime. It's a small thing, but I'm still pretty grateful I was able to keep my phone number for free like that.

I was that person once. I was 12 and couldn't understand why MS-DOS disk maintenance tools shouldn't be used on PC-DOS because obviously repair tools can only fix things

rootw0rm··on MSI reveals first USB4 expansion card, delivering 100W through USB-C
higher voltage makes it a lot more sane, imo. if anything increasing the voltage a long time ago would've probably helped us avoid the plague of all these shitty under spec USB cables. the cynic in me says they would've just shifted to even thinner gauge wires, but hey, a guy can dream, right?
rootw0rm··on MSI reveals first USB4 expansion card, delivering 100W through USB-C
yep, exactly. there's voltage negotiation up to 48v going on. though in practice probably not quite that high yet

Personally, I flagged it. It's an interesting kit, but I think at this point we've discussed it enough times on HN.

rootw0rm··on Why I Left Rust
rust needs it's empaths, too. if we can all figure out how to adult, be decent, work together, and understand the strengths/weaknesses of our very different personalities and skills, hopefully we can all continue building cool stuff together without alienating important voices.

Unless it takes real skill, real knowledge to create the workforce and tooling necessary to produce such a thing. With no IP protection I'm pretty sure that good old-fashioned corporate secrecy would still be quite profitable.

If in the case of medicines, instead of having carte-blanche to milk obscene profits for a long time, corpos were just limited to making decent money for a short while....that would probably work out in humanity's interest. Part of the reason medicine is so expensive in the West IMO, is the expense that's been mandated by the insane regulatory capture in the pharma industry.
