While is was taking MPH I'd take 10mg three times a day (male, 76kg). The times I'd taken twice that amount would turn me into a face twisted gargoyle. 40mg would be unpleasant for sure.
I met a couple of doctors at a party once who would take 60mg recreationally each before going dancing. Seemed unreal.
I love the direction. It feels really fresh.
They also have something like a 2 month ban on playing elsewhere after you DJ for them. And it doesn't seem like the pay is great to compensate. The upside is exposure, because their lineups are phenomenal and consistent, You don't really have to go there for the music, it's guaranteed to be good.

Ah I miss De School. It always feels a bit uncanny seeing Tillatec wearing the hand me downs, even though they have their own thing going.
They'll send debt collectors and affect your credit rating if you don't pay for your renewal, even though it's not valid until you pay. You have to post a filled form to cancel the membership.
I read once that organisation is in favor of entropy. When a system organises itself it "consumes" more energy. And I think complexity could be seen as a sort of organisation. So in this case complexity is just the tendency to participate in time.
An example being the increased inefficiency, and rate of fuel consumption of aircraft with quadratic air resistance.
While not conducive to your direct question, I could maybe solve your problem: I'm a real person looking for work!
Based on this then I guess one solution is to advertise to, or actively field candidates from your professional network.
P.S: The first problem I solve is always free.
I'm annoyed by LLM inference speed and latency. I want my disillusionment before dinner. I'm running some experiments of RAG-analogue approaches with post-attention cache encoding, and then thinking about how distributed caches could operate to reduce the computational latency, and how interesting it is that the key-value relationship mental narrative shifts into social dynamics. There's so many fun ways to approach the topic.
My familiarity is that autistic people often experience heightened empathy not on the simulation/experiential divide but a difference in self other relations. That is, the autistic approach to intentionality places themselves verbatim in the position of the other, rather than the allistic which replaces themselves with the other.
I think given the normative social allistic approach, the autistic person generally has a higher pressure to over develop their ability to compensate. Additionally, as this process uses the self as referent, it is less swayed by differences in the other and more prone to being activitated.
I believe that this is neither good nor bad, but the austistic person often suffers on people's assumption of being able to choose where their empathy is directed, and doubly due the effects of this trait. Things like strong, real, emotional connections to inanimate objects are an instance of this that can both cause suffering or joy, but socially can be a burden.
Thus I can fully believe that your approach is functional and high performing. And that others are often flawed by it. There's an innate integrity in it, because you put yourself directly "in the shit" when you do it. I wouldn't discount it as Machiavellian or as dissociative. Could it be that the dissociation is the cost, not the cause?
Medieval Christianity revived and resumed ancient Greek culture and philosophy. That's a larger gap than we're talking about here. There's precedent if you look hard enough.
It's not the job of the work to bring good to the world, nor to interest people in the slightest, as can be said for yourself, or myself. Though you're right that the success of the work is probably intrinsically tied to it's interest.
Art, and media in general are productions of culture which celebrate our humanity. That is, they rejoice in all of our abilities to perceive, conceive and enact upon the world. Wasting people's time in this light makes people aware of their time, and allows for further interrogations of our humanities to arise. Just as we're doing now.
It's good to remember that art only gains it's status through a production being named art by an exhibitor. IMO there's no special purpose to the term. Consuming art is just another form of recreation, and people are right to hate it for any reason, just that tyranny of what is useful is usually not in the human spirits best interest.
The work doesn't necessarily argue against you. It may have been the intention, or it may be the effect of the work that ideas like yours come into existence. One idea of conceptual art is that the work plays out in your mind, and the physical creation is secondary, utilitarian even.
The authenticity of the piece and it's validity is reinforced by our conversation and replay.
On this measure the timeline is arbitrary, and trumping it is a second work all together, creating a new conversation.
I think it's worth reevaluating the word 'recreational' here. Except for festivals, or longer parties as someone already mentioned 300mg is an enormous amount to consume in one sitting, especially without a good understanding. 90g per month seems quite unsafe.
I tend to find that if I write down the exact last thing I was doing for the day before finishing it helps me not have to ramp up so steeply the next day.
I also factor in procrastination both into my planning, and in my self measures of progress. We can't always be the stick to motivate ourselves.
To add to this, which at least in the systems I'm aware of, being a GP is a specialisation. General doesn't mean non specialist. It means being a specialist at general medicine.
I think you could also take in to the willful enforcement as another aspect to the law.
For instance, ACT police are known for not drug testing for cocaine, whereas meth and speed are. (At traffic stops).
This causes the rich, who can afford to take coke, to continue with their lifestyle, and punishes the poor. Using the justification of moral corruption.
For what it's worth, I am Australian, am ashamed of the countries history of treating the rightful owners of the land, but do agree that the alcohol issue is something that has more nuance than appears to outsiders.
Other things that are supposed to address the same issue, such as demonizing social benefits spending with budget control debit cards are outrageous. They are just weapons of the election cycle, and a way to recover campaign funds at the expense to the countries public.
Would you have any sources to back this up? Seems like a big claim to go against standard practice.
I suffer from chronic episodic depression. But my life is objectively great and fulfilling. Are you saying that I should not be at peace with my lifestyle? Or that my depression is a nurture rather than nature type issue?
I'm both triggered and curious to hear your thoughts.
Sales to me is being honest, knowing when to break the corporate line, working outside of the job description to build trust (doing things like suggesting alternative solutions that may or may not include our product), and deliberately not knowing everything.
Your customer is the domain expert, not you, and you're their opportunity to further their expertise, and their representation inside their company.
It's fluffy, but in general it's hard to be tangible about something that is human to human. So I think selling is about being easy to talk to, and giving more than you take from the relationship.
(For context I was working on sales of 50k-1M)
I used to sell the microsemi line of clocks. Was always interesting to have to import caesium into Australia.
We're (Moniker) doing palliative care for it at the moment. The technology is quite old.
Sorry about that! There may be an initiative to update it in the near future.
Shameless self plug: we also planted a tree in the arctic using a similar method!
You could use the nodejs api for max if you're not already. Seems to perform better. Write some interface code for a native app.
Borrow checking, generics (dynamics) and lifetimes could be tricky to explain to beginners.
I recently wrote myself a software renderer in rust to learn the ropes and had a pretty big initial hill to climb.
The Dutch health care system is allergic to preventative care. It's stunningly hard to try and just get routine things checker/done. As an Australian, having lived in four different countries, I'd say the Dutch system is the odd one out here.
Matcha tea has a bunch of stuff that is supposed to suppress the negatives of caffeine and keep the positives.
Also the taste is strong enough to be a decent coffee replacement.

Since Moniker made the dataset open on GitHub you're free to try your luck! Above link is a pretty good implementation.

It definitely leaned into it.
