Fungal impact on nervous and endocrine system is not weird at all.



Why would you think that?

You're the first and last person that'll ever say this.

One of the best engineering newsletters around.


i like how you reference the newsletter and not the actual busness of posthog. might make their newsletter person happy.


Because they were growing so slowly that I thought they are dead. Startups which cannot grow fast are default dead.


LOL - Get the fuck out of here :D


Imagine you could actually know if Fort Knox had what you thought it did, to the bar.


Maybe putting sugar into your body without fiber has never happened in the history of human nature, and it's fool-hardy.


Maybe eating honey has never happened in the history of human nature, and it's fool-hardy.


Not much of eating it alone!

But, good point I forgot about.


It hasn't stopped working for them yet.

People still line up for their purported incentives, despite these stories.

Unfortunately that simple.


> People still line up for their purported incentives, despite these stories.

The reason why nerds nevertheless apply at MAANG companies is thus the same reason why "ordinary" people buy lottery tickets - nerds are not that different. :-)


Search, in a browser?

Feed it to a local model?

If so: Wikileaks made/makes(?) all of their stuff easily browseable, "her emails" included.


You can search, but what do you search for if you don't know what's there?


If you don't know what's there you just start from the top I suppose. That's what happened with the Snowden leaks, they were picked apart over the span of months if not years by journalists, publishing what they found was interesting.


I suppose when you have a large corpus you start with as many browse points as you can. So maybe a list of the top senders, top recipients, recipient graphs.

I'd think by day would be next. Browse subjects by day, and word clouds for each message thread? The. Try to isolate topics discussed each day, then link the topics across days.

You should be able to click in and see the thread/messages/etc.

This is, at some level, how legal discovery stuff works from what I understand.


The part you're missing here is having a clue about what's sensitive in geopolitics in the first place, so you have that place to work from.


"Evil plans of new world order" obviously..

It seems you want a AI to analyze the data in general?

Otherwise you will have to do some work and read a little bit .. and then investigate to see if there is more. That is where the search tools are useful. Like in the example, finding out if that Scott guy changed his opinion on the 6. of january after Trump became president. (To see if the original statement was a lie. Not possible with ease so far)

People will speak in code, if they are planning crimes. Only some idiots speak openly of violent revolution in public messengers.

also, rhetorical: did you comment in the FB engineering post?


I was going to say, Intuit could simply have given/owe Musk a solid favor for this.


> what are people living with debilitating depression supposed to do?

Way more depression than anyone is aware is clinical depression.

Address the issues in your life, and your long-tail health.

For me, it was multiple systemic infections - took the drugs and buried it down, didn't realize until it got really bad. Luckily I was young enough to survive the mistake.

If your endocrine system is doing the wrong thing, ask why.


> Way more depression than anyone is aware is clinical depression.

I don't know what you wanted to say here. Clinical depression is typically used as an explicit emphasis to either emphasise that it is professionally diagnosed (as opposed to layman observations), or to emphasise that it is depression so bad it requires hospitalization (such as people who are so depressed they literally can't get out of bed for days on end).

But you seem to be using this term to mean "depression symptoms caused by other diseases"?


Clinical depression is neither of those things.

It’s also called Major depressive disorder. It’s basically depression that isn’t a temporary response to something. It’s long lasting depression that doesn’t go away.

You can easily look up the diagnostic criteria online.


Turns out I was using the term completely wrong, and meant "secondary depression".

Thanks.


No problem, I suspected you meant something like that, but also didn't know this term.

By the way, a common cause for (usually light) secondary depression that more people should know about is vitamin D deficiency, quite common for even slightly darker skinned-people living in Northern Europe.
