    Ok sure, but how does it work? I clicked around your website but there doesn't seem to be a description.

    Minimum I've seen was 1.5g. Usually between 2 and 3.5. The issue with psychedelics is not that their ingestion might kill you, but rather what you will do to yourself or others whi…

    The typical SE path I'm familiar with looks like: 1. Write _anything_ that works. Dependencies, code quality don't matter. Code is idiosyncratic but can be understood by a reviewer…

    I see this is a WIP without support for the Scheme numerical tower, tail calls, continuations, etc. If you're looking for such features, Gambit Scheme can compile to JS with those …

    @dang the article link is broken, the above works for me.

    There's also Codeboot: https://codeboot.org/py/ which offers a single stepper.

    There is a vast amount of unpublished research, not because of malicious intentions, but because it's either still ongoing, or abandoned, or postponed, or waiting for other results…

    Are you expecting a number? The joint probability of low-probability events is itself very low. I'm not saying you should calculate it like P(10 000 tails coin flip) * P(1 000 000 …

    We know enough to calculate a joint probability. Just update your estimate with new information. This should be pretty non-controversial. Everybody does this every day especially i…

    Let me make this clear: I don't know for certain what happened. But after updating my priors, I believe it's highly probable that the outbreak came from human error. Also, I never …

    It's the joint probability of everything we know. p(Epidemic started in Wuhan) * p(origin in market right next to lab) * p(lab is one of 3 in the world to conduct gain-of-function …

    You're taking this the wrong way. You have to update your priors and calculate a joint probability knowing everything we know about the origins of this particular virus.

    The calculation is simple and could have been made in early 2020. What's the joint probability of occurrence given everything you know about the origins of SARS-CoV-2? There is _ve…

    Clients do not support wireguard, but I wish. I use it for my own uses but there's practically no chance it gets approved by clients!

    Thank you for the references. I don't think I can explain it more succinctly than this: I ship fully provisioned VMs which contain all of the application code (web frontend and bac…

    I "ship appliances" by sending fully provisioned virtual machines to clients. A connector (or gateway) is an on-premise piece of software that allows a machine on another network t…

    Ask HN: How would you set up a new B2B SaaS?

    Hi, I'm looking to transition from shipping appliances to a cloud offering with some sort of connector for on-prem data queries. An obvious method would be to use site-to-site VPNs…
