I think if one is to pose this as an acceptable theory on aging they must explain why it doesnt apply to germ cells. The germline of an organism manages to escape these fundamental laws of physics to achieve 'immortality' simply by having more efficient DNA repair mechanisms than somatic cells. And so, imo, we are back to a biological explaination of aging.
> theorize

You mean hypothesize
Interesting...that's different, and does not square with the article's premise. It does not sound like that organism is just getting longer life by keeping its cells in the refrigerator. Especially this part:

"Naked mole rats also appear to remain spry and healthy even in the final years of their long lives"

Sounds like they changed the shape of the curve, not merely stretching it out.
> The problem with cars is that you cannot avoid them, like you can avoid browsing ad-infested website or turning off add-annoying TV channel.

The web and TV are open enough that you can work around those negative experiences (with ad-blockers on the web or a DVR to skip the ads on TV).

I don't see car manufacturers that engage with this scheme allowing third-party software or hardware that would block the ads. If anything, you'll only see an extra fee to drop the ad.
And yet you only have a single train of thought [1] – or multiple interleaved trains, but that's concurrency, not parallelism.

I listened to this [0] podcast a few days ago and that is one of the things said - it's not practical to try and put a quantum chip in every desktop/PC, but a Quantum computing service in Azure is the endgame. Right now only a simulation is offered, but the idea is that when a real Quantum service is offered, the same code that runs in the simulator can run on the Quantum service.

They're playing games with the term 'core'.

In CPU terms, a 1080 is 40 cores, each with a 64 way vector unit.
Average speed check zones. Multiple cameras that identify your car and ensure your average speed between point to point is not above the legal limit. Sure, you can go above the speed limit and then slow down, but it would be a pain to have to slow down, specially if you put cameras the entrance and exit of service stations in highways to discount breaks.
I'd say exploiting parallelism is not the only way at all. Parallelism is only one way to compute differently. Specialization of hardware to specific workloads will explode in the next years as we can't rely anymore on Moore's law. This will happen on RISC-V, IMHO.

We already have these:

* Rendering, medium precision mathematics: GPU

* Low precision mathematics: TPU

* Software Defined Networking: Microsoft is deploying FPGAs, AWS has its own hardware

We could have:

* Databases: Projections, hashing, sorting in hardware.

* Dynamic runtimes: Hardware implemented memory models, HW assisted GC, code caches and user-level interrupts for the JITs. Here is the J extension RISC-V working group: [1]

etc.

Also, why not have the usual hot paths in Node.js|Spring Framework|Django directly etched into hardware? HW http header parsing surely could bring benefit to them all.

----

Of course language and programmers will have to adapt, but in a lot of cases the runtimes will take care of it automatically.

> Nanoscale thermal physics guarantees our decline, no matter how many diseases we cure.

If that is true, I wonder what the total live expectancy for our species is. I mean shouldn't stem cells be affected by that too?
Also, it's hard but not impossible. I'm in that situation right now, where I work in a new location but most of my colleagues have established lifes here. However there are also a small number of colleagues in similar situations, and also there's some movement going on all the time. So yes, my friendships don't grow as quickly as I'd like, but they grow.

One thing to note though is that one needs to pursue it proactively. Don't be ashamed to ask people to add you to their whatsapp group. Don't be afraid to supply other people with food they like, so they will remember you when they want to relax. And take off some time from your hobbies and work schedule so you can participate in meetups.

Of the IT giants, Google has the most to lose from a closed web. The rise of mobile apps and walled gardens is a direct threat to their search business model. So the argument that Google would threaten the open web seems strange, on purely selfish grounds.

AMP seems to be an attempt to keep the web relevant. In countries like India (where i live), most new users access the web via the mobile, and the experience can be far worse than in the west, and absent of initiatives such as AMP you will see a fall off in web usage in general. I am not sure how that helps the open web.

You probably don’t know the backgrounds of the people around you. Homeschooled adults are about 3% of the population, test at parity or above, attend college and don’t have an unusual unemployment rate. At some point that starts to look like normal.

I do see that some homeschooled adults are more comfortable doing their own thing, similar to Montessori-educated adults, and some people find having interesting hobbies and jobs upsetting, but we need a few more people like that!
I did read about those, a "challenge" is how long you can stay in there before going mad - I think the longest one lasted for 45 minutes.

I'd like to experience that sometime, like, true silence. Have to say that my current house is very quiet (especially compared to my previous one), but there's still some background noise from outside, neighbours, the ventilation, etc. Should get a decibel meter sometime.

Anyway yes, sensory deprivation is weird.
And yet, Go's standard map doesn't allow concurrent access. They recently added a concurrent map feature but it's probably easier to add a lock to your code than refactoring it with the new map type. I would've preferred if they had introduced a map type that can be used exactly as the standard one (i.e. without function calls). Calling functions via go func() is really easy but handling data between goroutines can still cause headaches and is something that could be improved.
For low frequency stuff, I would suggest using an accelerometer instead of conventional audio equipment. A small one could also be placed on a large diaphragm to allow more movement at really low frequencies.

I like the physiological suggestions in the replies, but I don't see how an entire community could suffer from the same thing without a common cause.
do you have a resource (blog, youtube video, etc) where one can get a quick overview of Pokemon Go? When I played it there was not much you could do, so I dropped it completely. I may still have the app installed though.

Nature has not been able to solve the problem of ageing because natural selection does not work at later age.
The organism has already successfully procreated, so there is no survival of the fittest.
I was simply pointing out that what you had typed in the comment that I replied to, is exactly what the dude who came up with those 'types' wrote down as definitions.
> it is difficult to see how natural selection could have selected for senescence, because we don’t reproduce in our elderly years and natural selection is driven by differences in reproduction rates

That's an entirely backwards way to look at the problem: selection works with living organism and the only reason an organism lives or performs a particular function is that it was evolutionary useful to do so for it's genes. Aging therefore is something natural selection can't discern on: at some point, the number of additional offspring that can be produced becomes negligible compared to the exponentially increasing probability of death from environmental causes (just like the test tube example); so organisms that quickly reproduce young are much more successful than long lived organisms.

It's easy to see then, why the long term accumulating damage, irrelevant for a young organism, can't be evolved out of. We are essentially "single use" from an evolutionary standpoint.

Therefore, advanced age (anything exceeding useful reproductive life) is something outside evolution. Anything happening at senescence time is simply a byproduct of the mechanism selected for ensuring success at young age, a system that continues to work by momentum and not design or selection, up to the inescapable moment when entropy catches up to it.

But there is no fundamental physical reason for it, and it stands to reason we could create biological machines that maintain the power to self repair indefinitely, given suficient outside energy. It's just enormously more complex than "curing aging", it means artificially redoing billions of years of evolutionary choices that were good enough for reproduction. It's a God level task.
With just Chrome and IntelliJ running on Ubuntu, I have 281 processes and kernel workers running (as reported by ps). Just stitching the apps together for display on your screen requires 3-4 different processes (and a GPU). That's why 4 logical cores is a bare minimum these days for a desktop, even if no individual application takes advantage of more than a single core.

On the server side, when we deploy a Node.js web service on AWS we start one instance per logical core, for 4-64 processes all independently serving connections.

It seems the process has become the new thread, the smallest unit you should design for. So today's workloads actually make pretty good use of all those cores. Unless you're doing high performance computing and need to squeeze every last drop of performance, processes are a straightforward way to parallelize.

> That's why central banks have inflation targets: so that you're incentivized to use currencies as an exchange instrument, not as a store of value.

A bit off-topic, but why is that a good thing? Why is it better for currency to lose its value over time? I'd imagine this leads to people mindlessly buying more and more stuff, to use up that money before it loses its value.

On the other hand, if value of currency would increase over time, then people would have to spend it only on whatever they actually really need or desire. Is that bad?
its silly to seperate biology and physics, seems to me that biological systems are also physical systems.

other then that, stress causes aging. people who reduce stress keep their mind younger and often live longer and are less effected by diseases common among aging biological systems.

ofcourse, stress then isn't the root cause of aging... as stress takes many forms, what causes stress is. so the answer to what causes aging is probarbly not a single point or item, but a combination of factors which all cause some form of stress on the system.

The beauty of GOG is in its similarity with Steam, but without the DRM. Much like Steam, they just don't sell games, they provide added value in their (optional, and I hope it stays optional) GOG Galaxy client, their community, things like that that do appeal to people.

I always saw Abandonware as a necessary evil, flagrant copyright violation when the copyright holder has zero interest on their property, but GOG and such are a good alternative. Not only the games are sold at reasonable prices and put under rather regular sales, but avoiding DRM does make sharing significantly easier.
None of those firms collected private pictures without consent. All of them actually made some attempt to fix their vulnerabilities when notified. Any one of them that allowed random strangers to delete their data "deserved" to have that done. No firm has a right to success in business.

Supposedly the "progressive" in PWA means[1]:

>Work for every user, regardless of browser choice because they’re built with progressive enhancement[2] as a core tenet.

But from my experience I'd say they have little to do with actual progressive enhancement, i.e. content first development.

One thing that certainly is progressive for PWAs is how deeply the user decides to integrate the web app into their browser/OS. You can choose to allow push notifications and "install" the PWA into your home screen for example.

Most (/all?) species reproduce in their prime.

The problems that occur later in life do not have any affect on that. On the other hand, for communities and 'tribes', not keeping old members around make them more responsive to change.
Can you speak to his connections to the CIA and NSA at all? For instance, how deeply involved was he with the IC? There are rumors.

Social interaction can be compared to a game of throwing a ball to each other. You throw the ball and see how they catch it and throw it back to you. In any game, if you don't have enough practice, you'll have to put all your attention to it, which is tiring. Basically, the more you enjoy throwing and catching a ball, the better you become and the less tiring it will be.

As for practical tips - remember that it is also not easy for most people. Make it easier for them by not throwing in an unexpected way, or too hard. Don't put all your attention on the ball or your partner, it is just as well about you.

After a few minutes of throwing a ball with a new partner, you will see how they catch it, how they throw it, what play style they have and what they like. After that you can use more complicated play styles, talk about complex topics without fear of being misunderstood.

Also, improvisational theatre and status games can be useful to practice being in different social positions.

Depends on what you mean by hacked - I know that for cars with keyless entry you can relay key-fob signals from keys inside a house to parked cars to get it open, then get to the cars software via the service port. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a viable method to steal a car.

> but CPU cores are relatively cheap compared to engineer salaries

I often experienced that this backfired. Single machines are still constrained in their power and while it's easy to spin up additional VMs in the cloud, scaling a program properly to run on dozens of machines takes a lot of work. It can be faster to develop a program that is really efficient and can solve the problem on one machine than to develop faster only to then spend the time scaling it to a large fleet of servers.

Thank you for sharing that story. That’s definitely a very useful skill to have as it saves time and hope for better prospects.

I’ve had similar experiences where people seem very interested and set up endless meetings, but nothing concrete ever happens. I’ve started to sometimes get a sense of when a meeting is going nowhere, but personally it’s been difficult to know when I might be being realistic, vs being pessimistic/defeatist.
As you put it, I might not be there yet, but will keep working on it.

Yes, I am a founder, and your point about the perception of future investors/stakeholders is very valuable and worth remembering.

Thank you very much for sharing your perspective :)
Even in single-socket configurations, Threadripper and EPYC are still both NUMA architectures - the cores are split across two or four dies, each of which has its own memory controller and memory attached to it, with requests from a core to memory on another die going via an interconnect.

One option is that you write in a high-level language where the top-level control code is single threaded, but you call APIs that perform multi-threaded operations seamlessly. The prototypical example of this is Python with numpy/blas (or with deep learning libraries like TensorFlow).
