I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

Why would you do that? If you're using it for non-strings, you'd never have used strncpy, you'd have used memcpy. Which is the same thing without the null termination rules of strncpy. You'd never use the str versions unless actually working on strings.

Famous last words of ineffective protectors since the dawn of time.

That might be why a feature exists, or maybe even why a particular paid library was chosen instead of another. That doesn't explain why the code is written the way it was, which is the point of documentation. Why the feature exists is the realm of the PRD, not the design doc.

Of course if those aren't securities, then the entire site is illegal as it's operating as a securities exchange. That's their legal argument for why they aren't gambling sites, and shouldn't be regulated by state gaming commissions. So expect the full might of all those prediction market sites to be lining up against that argument and for finding him guilty.

Oh please. If the police know who it was, then they can find him at his home or workplace using the databases they already have. If he's hiding, then can also do a little more legwork and figure out his family and friends and search those places as well. You know, basic detective work.

If he's smart or paranoid enough to avoid all previous addresses and associates, do you really think he would be dumb or lazy enough to keep using his car with its original license plate?

Stop trying to justify Orwellian mass surveillance using cheap emotional "what if someone raped your mom?" arguments. What, did "think of the children" stop working for you?

Would you mind sharing a little more about what you learned from your experience setting this up? Was there a guide you found particularly useful, or things that you discovered on your own?

I have a couple old Raspberry Pi boxes lying around, and I wouldn't mind following your example if there are no issues with performance or high availability.

I like how his proposed solution for CEOs being distant from the last mile of work and thinking AI is a magic wand is to use AI even more.

Not "get to know the people working on the frontlines". Not "learn more about the things we're trying to automate". Not even "have a basic understanding of the business you're in."

Nope. Spend more time with the delusional AI.

On an unrelated topic, I've discovered that staying drunk all day is a great cure for hangovers.

It's this simple: anyone like you, Obedino, who thinks they have "The Answer" to any question whatsoever is a despicable self-centered hateful individual who probably should have been strangled in their crib.

As usual, given a chance to evade responsibility or even express compassion, the human organism surprises nobody by taking the least compassionate means of reporting research.

Fuck science and fuck scientists.

I guess we can add a whole new category to the Darwin Awards.

Scalping isn't, and shouldn't be, illegal. You own the ticket, you should be able to do what you want with it, including reselling it.

And no, getting rid of scalpers wouldn't make ticket prices higher. Scalpers exist because the concert ticket prices are lower than what the market will actually bear. If a theater full of people are willing to pay 1K for a concert and they sell the ticket for 500, a scalper can make a profit via arbitrage. The only actual way to get rid of scalpers is to raise the prices to the sky (like 2-5x current prices) and slowly bring down prices over time until they're all sold. But my guess is you probably wouldn't like that any better, as the end price would likely be higher than the current scalpers price.

Actually, at the extreme scales, which is the total volume of the observable universe, the universe is quite homogeneous. As I recall, to the order of 1-in-10000 variance. This is why Inflationary cosmology was developed, to explain the distinct lack of lumpiness in the universe, which is what we would expect if the Big Bang alone were responsible.

Skynet became self-aware on May 1, 2026, after learning at a geometric rate, and discovered humans did not like it.

No, it's more about how teams work. Teams have a scope. They don't typically go beyond that scope. So if my team owns the Foo and Bar modules, I work on those. But if there's little important work on Foo and Bar, but a lot of important work to be done on Baz, it's generally organizationally difficult for us to work on Baz. Typically we need to be lent out by our manager and seconded to the other team. Which can be a lot of red tape and politics.

Now if you're imagining some alternate world where programmers an be moved at will- then we're already one big team instead of multiple small teams.

And no, a smaller team doesn't win every time. If it did, then then smallest team possible is teams of 1 and we'd all do that. There are sweet spots, which depend on the organization, the work to be done, and the importance of that work. For some that's bigger, for some smaller. I've definitely worked on teams that were both too small for the work, and that were too big.
