5+ grams is considered a "heroic dose", i.e. the one that is needed for ego death and subsequent therapeutic effects.

Yes, but not just COVID - it was the favorite fad around that time. When Trump lost the election there was a wave of grifters promising a reckoning to his fanbase with goal posts being moved roughly every two weeks.

> People say Electron is heavy and not great, but it's also the fastest way to support Mac, Windows, and Linux all at once

I am hesitant to call that "support". If even Meta can't get their Electron application to work reliably, who can? WhatsApp client for macOS is awful and it's getting worse. Discord is awful and it's getting worse. Spotify works better when running through the browser. At this point, when I see that the application is using Electron, I am assuming it's not supported on my OS and I move on.

I love his work (even though I know little more than what he says in interviews). I am also surprised it's not more widely known / applied. I am very skeptical of conspiracy-minded thinking, so I'd much rather assume his and his team's work hasn't reached escape velocity from obscurity. Especially with larger industries, it takes time and significant breakthroughs to become "a household name", so to speak.

Good night, sweet prince

It's the 2026 version of "two more weeks"

I am heavily invested in Iced. I feel it's a good framework. On a number of occasions it forced me to rethink how to structure my program to match Iced's model. I find the framework very performant and the resulting program easy to prototype and expand upon. I don't do any web development at all, but if I had to, I'd check out Elm, knowing that Iced is inspired by it.

Strengths:

  - Message passing model with separate Model and View paths
  - Async / Sync landscape (sync on the GUI thread, tasks / subscriptions for async stuff with messages returned to the GUI thread)
  - Writing custom Widgets is quite easy! In 0.14 stateful widgets got a revamp and they are quite nice
  - Performance is great
  - Despite being very capable, the framework is not that large. Learning it is not a daunting task
  - Documentation might be sparse, but due to how it's written, I was able to just read the code and understand how it works without issue

Downsides include:

  - Lots of changes between releases (still pre 1.0)
  - Theming. Despite being (somewhat) recently reworked, it's still overcomplicated imo
  - The layouting engine is tricky to use and I fight with it much more than I should. Quite often widgets do not show up at all or take too much space because I didn't use the right combination of `Length` variants for `width` and `height` of the widget (and/or its children)
  - Some interfaces seem a bit weird (I am specifically thinking about overlays)
  - There is some confusion regarding what should go in the application state and what should be held in Widget's state. The interfaces are clearly defined here, but what can be / should be done is often found out in practice (perhaps I lack experience here)

> Is it even possible to win the game?

If it's a faithful simulator of soviet economy, then you should not be able to win :)

Well, “an idea I’ve had for years” and “something that has never been done before” are not the same thing.

Strange that you feel so strongly about this just one day after US govt effectively shut down Mythos.

Reasoning: the poster blames all evil in the world on "capitalism", "corporations", and "the rich". The aforementioned are conspiring to gatekeep us all from the obvious good of poor, communist anarchy.

Why pay developers as much as their American counterparts (instead of 3-6x less), when you can build "a wall". That will fix things!

Oh, god

Celestial Mechanism sounds dope!

What is better than Google Maps? It's the only Google product I don't see myself abandoning any time soon. I agree on everything else.

Strange that we don't see Chinese models named "Good Fortune 27b" or "Much Success MoE"

Placing Poland so far below the UK is a joke understandable to anyone who has spent at least a few weeks in both countries.

IMO if the person doesn't understand the ethical and practical benefits of humility, they are not that smart.

Hello. I am writing this from the underworld. I am dead. Killed by Mythos. Never again!

As an EU citizen, I don't mind. I don't see how a voice assistant is more important than the rule of law.

Bro, you are being left behind bro, it's amazing bro...

Abomination!

Congratulations, you are a high taste tester!

Yes, it does, and they don't care, bc russian "culture" has no regard for life or people in general. Everyone and everything is expendable.

What you thought of (not even drinking water) is called a dry fast. It is a thing, but for obvious reasons is much more intense and shorter in duration.

It's amazing how powerful the mind is and it's also sad that the default setting is to use that power against oneself

> Corbyn was left (maybe).

Corbyn was (is?) a Castro-sympathizing communist. If you classify him as "left (maybe)", then I don't even want to ask what is "left" to you.

I think it all depends on what kind of customer they want to attract.

> Hire a UI/UX person NOW

I agree, the current site is too busy.

> add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap

Sounds like clutter to me

> the quick ai response is extremely useful.

Depends, I use Kagi because it doesn't have that (or it does, but allowed me to hide it, I don't remember anymore)

> make it funny, easy to use and welcoming

If I see another web site that "uh-oh!"s me the moment something doesn't work, I'm going to kill myself ;) The drive to be "funny" can very quickly turn into cringe-fest.

Buddhism has a well defined definition of what consciousness is and by that definition LLMs are not conscious.
