Sorry you and your family are going through this, obviously a terrible and challenging situation.
No idea what part of the world you're in, but my cousin was stage 4 skin cancer, on his way out, and his doctor managed to get him into a clinical trial at Dana Farber in Boston, MA.
Literally saved his life. Experimental immunotherapy program was the trial.
Hoping a miracle comes in your direction somehow, someway.
One is eternity compressed into five minutes; the other is relatively mild even at higher doses in comparison (though of course a powerful experience in its own right).
Suspect that for many 5-MEO is something you do once in a lifetime. It's not necessary to do it on a regular basis, and you'll know why after you try it for the first time :)
MP is well positioned in the REE processing space -- now if the share price would stop collapsing then companies in the critical minerals sector would be able to raise capital more easily (MP is the bellwether for the sector)
Right. Since the 1980s, the Mountain Pass mine has gone bankrupt and shut down twice. Not because they did anything wrong, but because the prices of rare earths temporarily dropped below their production cost. Here's a general rare earth price graph.[1] It's tough having a business with fixed costs with a 10:1 price variation.
MP Minerals is now getting subsidies from both the U.S. Government and General Motors, both of which want a reliable source of magnets outside China.
There are other sites in the US and Australia which could be developed if it was profitable. (Operating in Greenland, per Trump, is silly. The costs of operating anything big there are very high. No roads, no infrastructure, only a few months a year of ice-free construction time...)
They're totally at the mercy of world rare earth prices, which are manipulated by China. But they now have some cushion from government and GM funcing.
Collapse in MP, the minerals sector in general, and every high growth sector in the market is institutional derisking in the face of massive leverage ($1.4 trillion in margin loans), which has triggered an historic collapse in high beta stocks -- nothing to do with rare earth prices, particularly for MP which has guaranteed price floors.
So,the big players have taken a wrecking ball to minerals by shorting the sector to oblivion, but will have no problem riding the wave back up once the bottom is in...
Big turnoff with Dart is the lack of json (de) serialization -- kind of shocking to have to resort to source code generation libraries in a modern language.
Also, statement based instead of expression based, and not immutable by default are kind of a drag; not the end of the world but a bit unpleasant, IMO.
Serialization support is coming, probably this year. As for statements vs expressions, it does have some expressions such as if and for inside lists but changing it wholesale to an expression based language would be too much of a breaking change.
Serialization support has been coming for years, I lost patience.
Otherwise, yes, some support for expressions, some support for immutability, no support for optional semi-colons, no privacy modifiers so "_" littered everywhere.
I just found it to be an exceedingly ugly language when I used it a couple of years ago. Yes, some more pleasant modern functionality has been bolted on since then, but it's unfortunate that Dart was chosen as the backing language for Flutter, which is an awesome mobile framework.
Serialization has always been possible via libraries, so most people were doing fine with that, what is coming is native serialization support, but in practice it will be functionally the same, ie rather than you running build_runner, the compiler will do it for you. I'm not sure what you used but that's what you were hung up on, there were always ways to solve it.
Dart is a pragmatic language, it has everything you need and has a lot of benefits too, such as sound null checking (very few languages have this, Rust comes to mind), JIT and AOT support (Javascript / TypeScript such as for React Native doesn't, and Kotlin is just getting there with Kotlin Native but it still has a lot of issues), and now more functional programming concepts with algebraic data types via sealed classes and pattern matching.
What language would you have chosen when Flutter came out circa a decade ago, or, we can be even more charitable and ask what language would you use today if you were to implement Flutter? I'm curious because everyone has their own ideas but they all don't work for one reason or another.
Looking at a Thinkpad 16" P1 Gen 8 with 2X 1TB SSD, 64GB RAM, QHD+ screen, centered keyboard like MBP (i.e. no numpad), integrated Intel GPU, lightweight (4 lbs) for a little under $2.5K USD.
Closest I've found to an MBP 16" replacement.
Have been running Dell Precision laptops for many years on Linux, not sure about Lenovo build quality and battery life, but hoping it will be decent enough.
Would run Asahi if it supported M4 but looks it's a long ways away...
I'm using T14s Gen 4 Intel and sleep works for me. I'm using it in clamshell mode connected to external display 99% of the time, so I don't really use sleep all the time, but the few times I tested it, it worked. Actually every hardware peripheral, including fingerprint sensor, worked out of the box. I was pleasantly surprised by that kind of support.
I've got a relatively new p16s with a hybrid Nvidia/Intel GPU, and a p14s gen 5 with an AMD GPU, and I was able to get both of them to suspend by closing the lid. Not sure if the issue you speak of is unique to the P1 or not, but all my ThinkPads have been decent with Linux.
I’ve had issues with T14s for a couple of gens where the machine wakes up during the closed lid and runs the battery down. I’ve tried the usual troubleshooting.
This has been a non issue on Dell machines for almost 20 years.
Oh some kernel params and other settings can help with that. These are mine, and it's been working great:
Kernel params
## Seems to be needed for suspend to S0 (s2idle) without hanging (only needed on p16s)
acpi_osi="Windows 2022"
# Prevent spurious wakeups from a firmware bug where the EC or SMU generates spurious "heartbeat" interrupts during sleep
acpi.ec_no_wakeup=1
# Prevents dock from waking up laptop right after suspend
usbcore.autosuspend=-1
Other settings (executed with a systemd service) (also only needed on p16s, not on my p14s)
Somewhat related yet not. I had a Dell laptop near kill itself waking up while in my backpack and near melting itself. I think I blame Windows update for this though.
This resulted in the laptop not being able to power on most of the times after that.
