I'm with you - there are few elevators, yes. Still somewhat clunky for me.

Cyberpunk is certainly an achievement for technical graphics - fog, light, reflections etc. These are all enhanced with cutting-edge hardware.

What I'm trying to say is that we're quite far along in one visual axis, but for the whole experience to be amazing, we have a lot of work to do in other axes. Clunky character animations and body shapes take away from the amazing fidelity we get with light/fog, etc.

For decades, the marketing message was that less defects = better = more expensive. Apparently, when lab-grown diamonds came along, that had to be inverted: now, lab-grown = less defects = "less character"

The whole thing is such an obvious marketing exercise with very little to back it up (as evidenced by the extremely low resale value of diamonds)

Nice lecture about Dirac.

If you prefer to read, this 1939 paper by Dirac is a characteristically lucid discussion of similar themes:

> In 2001, Norvig published a short article titled Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years,[20] arguing against the fashionable introductory programming textbooks that purported to teach programming in days or weeks. The article was widely shared and discussed, and has attracted contributed translations to over 20 languages.[20]

Anyone who followed this article would've greatly threatened their chances of being hired by Google, since they would've spent their time on things other than rehearsing for the interviews.

"When a thing becomes affordable more people have access to it." nods nods

So is our conclusion "People talk a big game but their morality clearly fails based on how the market has played out" or "People want things but the market has competing forces and sometimes takes a long time to find ways to provide people what they want?"

My rephrasing to your statement is "It took the mass market decades to figure out how to deliver consumers the solar/electric cars they wanted at a price they could afford."

Also, points in the general direction of the established energy providers I think these assholes had some incentive not to let the market get out from under them and make sure they were the ones who continued to profit from it.

I really want to believe that MOSAIC will usher in a revolution of safe, affordable airplanes, but I'm not holding my breath. A lot of the stuff you mention has existed for decades in experimental aviation (electronic ignition, EFI/FADEC, non-TSO avionics, the ability to import factory-assembled but otherwise non-certified light sport aircraft...), and none of them seem to offer compelling cost, performance, and safety advantages over legacy systems.

My cold take is that the only significant, short-term effect will be slightly lowered training standards for low-to-moderate-performance aircraft. It's unclear that this will have any practical effects, since personal airplanes will remain prohibitively expensive to own and operate for the vast majority of us.

It was insightful of him and there absolutely are similar strains of hype today!

He also both points out the silliness of the pitch for the hype-y tech of the day and calls that same tech a tool some might use with good reason.

That doesn't read to me like "tech hyped as inevitable is never okay" but more like "ignore sales pitches and evaluate the hyped tech for yourself." Your own judgment of today's hyped tech might be "kill it with fire." Still, it seems fully in sync with the spirit of that passage for Recurse to ask for a bunch of smart people's varied opinions on it and share them with the world.

So, the simple explanation is this: Cholesterol is a necessary and important chemical, specifically, it is a sterol, and a precursor for Vitamin D, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and the substance that makes up the myelin sheath is. Cholesterol is not, and never will be, "the bad guy". Your body produces almost a gram of it a day, but dietary amounts are only about a third of that.

It it also the backbone of apolipoprotein, which is the actual thing your Doctor is talking about when they say "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol". Apo combined with other things (triglycerides and phospholipids) make HDL, LDL, and other familiar "cholesterol particles".

Since they shuttle fatty acids around, these fatty acids can be oxidized. When there are too many lipoprotein particles than your cells can safely clear, macrophages end up being targeted by the particles. Macrophages that take on too many damaged particles (damaged by the fatty acid oxidizing) can ram into arterial walls, which summons platelets to try to fix it.

The platelets use a calcium-based substance to fix the damage. Its sorta like organic concrete. Over a lifetime, your arteries become clogged with the concrete.

So.

The western diet and lifestyle lacks many important things required for healthy living. One of these is sufficient sun. Although Vitamin D supplementation is absolutely required for many people (most science is indicating that 2000 IU isn't even enough but is a bare minimum), we also have extremely little K2 in our diet compared to our ancestors, since it comes from certain fermented foods, and we largely no longer eat the correct fermented in sufficient amounts foods, even though it has been a staple of our diet at least 20 or 30 thousand years; long enough that it has changed our gut bacteria to basically necessitate it for many reasons.

K2 is required for signaling of arterial plaque removal, among other things. That organic concrete? It's not meant to be permanent, its meant to merely to stop you from potentially hemorrhaging.

Also, fun fact, anticoagulants that act as K2 antagonists (Warfarin, etc) lead to vastly increased arterial calcification (since, as an antagonist, it blocks K2 signaling). Those anticoagulants also can lead to brittle bones, because K2 is also used for signaling in a few biological processes that want to deposit the calcium in the right place.

So, I could just say "eat healthily", but nobody knows what the fuck that means. Beef liver and hard cheeses are good sources of K2, so is Sauerkraut and Kimchi. Supplement companies also sell good Vitamin K-focused multivitamins, many of which are a oil-filled gelcap with K1, K2 MK4, K2 MK7, and a meaningful D dosage (so its a drop in replacement for your daily D gelcap) (ex: Jarrow K-Right, but all the major good ones have a product like that).

This should be illegal, outright.

Monetary systems and their economies are innately dystopian, and that can't be changed, but given that I'm a reluctant capitalist. Simply because the other option is much worse and incomparably more dishonest. But if private industry wants to remain relatively unrestricted it has to operate in good faith. Which means not pushing the envelope toward de facto slavery conditions, as is its nature to do. It needs self-control. If industry can't control itself, it's making the case for being hyper-regulated. And then its down-hill from there.

Industry and labor are in an inescapable social contract, the balance of which determines wider society's quality of life. Both factions have to commit to the middle, relatively speaking.

In part, that means that the job market standard doesn't evolve to six days of double shifts. Hire a second shift, and retreat from the type of psychopathy that advanced society wisely left behind.

Diamond dust used to be the main industrial product. But as diamond synthesis has improved, cutting tools are now using larger diamonds.[1] This has been a big win for the well-drilling industry. Newer bits cut rock, and with diamond, they last long enough to get the job done. The classic Hughes tricone bit, the thing that looks like a set of bevel gears, is not a cutter. It's a rock crusher.[2] It cracks by compressive force.

(Patents were really strong back then. Howard Hughes, Sr. became the richest man in the world by buying the patent for the drill bit. He then manufactured bits and rented them out for a fraction of the profits from the oil well.)

That birth rate is not accurate since the war started. Also, death rate is not accurate either if 60k have died in less than two years.

And the lack of trust in Israel's government is due to how little effort they seem to put into distinguishing between civilian and enemy combatant while in control of all surrounding borders.

If things continue as they have, then the number of starvations is about to increase dramatically.

So those who point at the numbers to say it's not genocide have a point, but if deniable genocide is Israel's intent, then all they have to do is continue to withhold food and a lot of Gazans starve to death.

Even more true of those farmers who kept livestock.

For example, the first written record (Tacitus) we have of the Germanic peoples (farmers who used livestock heavily) claims that the men did nothing but prepare for and engage in warfare: all the farming and taking care of the livestock was done by the women.

(And when wheat farming and livestock-keeping were introduced to Britain, after an initial enthusiasm, many went back to fishing and gathering chestnuts. This was prehistory so there is some uncertainty about this.)

As it stands right now the freehold category is unnecessarily restrictive, eliminating some great, fair price, games.

Polytopia for example would not be considered "freehold" because it contains one of micro transactions... However those are in a way ~ expansions like when you bought StarCraft II expansions.

The freehold apps website I'd never contribute to as one should always separate a vendor from a marketplace... Otherwise you just end up with Amazon basics....

Python 3 took the exact same path as Larry Wall's Perl 6. But unlike Perl, it was able to come out largely unscathed.

Python could do with more major version upgrades, but small scoped upgrades that only change tiny, manageable pieces. Forcing a good package manager on all Python developers would be a good candidate for this.

You're claiming contradictory things

> A typical engineer at a top AI startup makes over 1M/year, mostly equity. [0]

>> - What percentage of the $1M is paid as salary?

> Depending on the startup, 75-90%

Which one is it? I've worked for multiple AI startups and have many friends in the space and I don't know that many are making $750-900k cash, but calling $100-250k cash + dreams and wishes a million doesn't add up either.

The distinction between hours in the office and hours working is interesting to an employer. It is not interesting to the employee. The fact of the matter is that 996, assuming a 30 minute commute, means people are spending 2/3 of their lives working for someone else. And then when the exit comes, the founders and the investors can screw you in a heartbeat and still get theirs (see Windsurf).

People love to claim the moral high ground, believing themselves so much better. So much more noble. So much smarter.

But at the end of the day, they always do the exact same thing - buy whatever is cheaper. Doesn't matter if it's produced with slave labor, or child labor, or the product of corporate government coups.

They put all that out of their mind, and just buy the product. They rationalize it or conveniently forget it or just pretend it doesn't apply to them. Whatever will get them past it.

A similar topic: Does anyone think things like solar and wind are being used out of the goodness of anyone's heart? Concern for the next generations? A desire to give clean air to our youth? Sympathy for sufferers of all of the horrible diseases and respiratory problems? Concern about lands lost to rising seas?

No. It's because they got cheaper than fossil fuels. Anything else is fantasy.

I read it backwards, 75-90 is equity. I fixed.

But I should make it clear that ordinarily I'd agree with the haters, but AI is actually different and so much wealth will be created that many of these unicorns will end up exiting for plenty. The people who got left out of the windsurf deal will still make millions (just not tens of millions)

You can use the ReasonML syntax with the standard OCaml toolchain, it's the same language with curly braces. (Not to be confused with ReScript which spun off of it, but is now a different language that only targets the JavaScript stack.)

Do you simply dislike the OCaml syntax or is it some particular quirk?

I wouldn't recommend complaining.. bellyfeels only

Thus said, PR's can look like narcissism .. those who call it out are some of the prigs Uncle Paul warned us about :)

Schizotypes too.. it's the peer-unreviewed grandiosity i suppose. what would Kohut say?

Wish I'd discovered Ron earlier. His *overflow throwaways make me want to mine his conspiracy theories :) hope somebody addressing his emotional holes RN

If I had to guess your ex a Borderline. Glad dang concurs on the method.. (?) if that kinda helps/works it'd be worth internalizing

Equivalently I'd have to deal with the (situational?) emo holes associated with Stripe before I can internalize "their" (alien) way of thinking[0] :) but maybe you already have more experience there:

I made those changes while still targeting 2.7: around 2018 I was writing code for 2.7 that was forward-compatible with 3.x, as was common at the time. Since then, f-strings have been worth adding to my toolbox - most of Python 3's other new features haven't been.

That are the resolutions and frequencies I do remember having tested without trouble. Indeed I could go even faster on the lower ones, but didn't dare to for long, because they sometimes produced very weird high-frequent noises, sometimes unsharpness, and I didn't want to break that wonderful piece of kit.

Did care about 1600x1200 at then 75Hz mostly. All that other stuff was just for demonstration purposes for other people coming by, or watching videos fullscreen in PAL.

It seemed to be really made for that resolution at a reasonable frequency, with the BIOS & VGA thing just implemented to be able to see start up, changing settings, and all the rest just a 'side-effect'.

1) Workflow issues. A chatbot is not the best interface for accomplishing the typical tasks an investor or analyst needs to do. Our workflow are often start around a watchlist/portfolio and news.

2) Most LLM or agentic applications don't give us enough control over the process. Investment research is pretty open-ended and subjective, there is no one absolute approach. Individuals and teams often have some tribal perspective on how to do it or needs certain ground covered to have conviction. Existing solutions do not allow such control.

Um, I'm going to go ahead and point out this, probably not super relevant data point

"While trailing Gen Xers for the beginning of their adult lives, younger American households’ average wealth began to exceed that of Gen Xers at about age 30, reflecting historically high wealth levels following the COVID-19 pandemic." I have a feeling that average wealth adjustment falls very heavily on the home owners, which is only just above half of all the cohort. Had a similar thing happened to boomers in 89, almost 70% would have benefitted.

I think it's also worth pointing out: The share of wealth held by boomers in 89 (why 89? Because they didn't have data before that. It's why the graphs start in a weird spot and why it's not a great study unless you're trying to pull out a "gotcha" stat) represented almost 20% of the total wealth in the country. "Millenials/GenZ" has a hold on only HALF that percentage.

Doctors may hate your one weird statistic, but socio-demographists probably don't...

Yes. I'm impressed with Idris 2. I love how it uses Chez Scheme, my favorite scheme implementation. I contributed for a bit to getting Idris installation working on Apple Silicon Macs based on Racket's port of Chez Scheme, only to learn that I was working with Idris instructions that hadn't been updated.

Lean 4 is a better supported effort, with traction among mathematicians because of the math formalization goal.

I have more reasons to want to learn Lean 4. Peel away their syntax, and Lean 4 proofs are the word problem for typed trees with recursion. I find the reliance of AI on artificial neurons as arbitrary as so many advanced life forms on Earth sharing the same paltry code base for eyes, a nose, a mouth, and GI tracts. Just as many physicists see life as inevitable, in a billion runs of our simulation I'm sure AI would arise based on many foundations. Our AI fakes recursion effectively using many layers, but staring at the elementary particles that make up Lean proofs one sees a reification of thought itself, with recursion a native feature. I have to believe this would make a stronger foundation for AI.

I don't get that same rush looking at Idris. Using Lean 4 for general purpose programming? It must be good training.
