Shutting down and starting up again can draw more power than sleeping/other low power mode. e.g. airplane mode on a phone is probably better than turning the device off for the night. Old dumb phones used to sip power when switched off so the alarm would work.
No idea with desktops, but I wouldn't be surprised if suspend used less power than stop/start for overnight in some cases.
There is a biannual structural prediction contest called CASP [1], in which a set of newly determined structures is used to benchmark the prediction methods. Some of these structures will be "novel", and so can be used to estimate the performance of current methods on predicting "structure that we have no baseline to start with".
CASP-style assessments are something that should done for more research fields, but it's really hard to persuade funders and researchers to put up the money and embargo the data as required.
Ketamine is a psychedelic, just not a "classical" one that operates the same receptors as LSD/mushrooms. Or rather, whether or not it is a psychedelic is a semantic argument, and it still makes you hallucinate. MDMA is another "non-classical" psychedelic.
Not quite sure what you mean by "mind manifestation"? MDMA has significant impacts on your emotional and mental state, and also causes strong audiovisual hallucinations, disorientation and loss of self. What extra experiential effects would you ascribe to a classic psychedelic that aren't found in non-psychedelics?
Generally there's either the experiential (e.g. do you hallucinate?) definition, which regards MDMA, THC etc as psychedelics or the receptor-based definition, which excludes them.
hallucinations are different from mind manifestation which occur from using psychedelia.
you can hallucinate as bat shit crazy from alcohol, does it mean it's a psychedelic?
you can "hallucinate" in deep states of meditation, does it mean you took something?
I think that the notion that MDMA is psychedelia, is something which sprang up quite recently.
when I mean mind manifestation are the visions, patterns, realization, interventions, strong sensory "signals" you are getting by taking a decent amount under the correct circumstances.
personally, I don't like to speak about this subject, "this is psy and this is not psy", to each is own, but I strongly disagree about the term.
in any case, if it does good for a person, it does not matter what it is...
it's just a problem confusing the two, since these are different groups with totally different outcomes.
edit, comment:
you will never see a full blown circus with upside down clowns juggling skulls and candy going on unicycles on a short pink white stripes roller coaster showing you the finger but in the other hand are very happy you are there,
when using either MDMA or Ketamine.
I call the place shpongle land, been there several times, always happy to be back.
I don't know if it's still the same, but from Stansted airport you had a choice of taking either the train to Liverpool St or Liverpool Lime St. Fun times for tired travellers.
You are right about this claim, but the only thing I could find to substantiate it is a 2013 article in which leaked documents suggests German federal police wanted to use it [1]. It is still incorrect to suggest this is a German state spyware, although of course you are right about the ambiguity here.
They seem pretty good. This summer was a bit of a mystery, but otherwise things have tracked pretty well.
<jk> Obviously you can't determine anything without taking into account the estimated/guessed factors (extent of people movement, other restrictions) included in the models versus what really happened (new restrictions, lower than expected movement). And why only select this subset of forecasts, given they are produced daily/weekly (depending on urgency)? There was an early prediction that Covid would only cause ~30,000 deaths in the UK, why wasn't that included?
Do you have a link to anything that isn't Fox-news level cherry-picking? The Spectator is notoriously not a reliable source.
Since there's currently a shortage of objective journalism, we're left with adversarial presentations. Above is one perspective. There must be other presentations or analysis from teams or organizations with varying incentives. Maybe even from the people creating the models? Hopefully someone can link them.
