> There is a synergy that humans could never find with logic.

Perhaps, but there is no science that demonstrates that.

It sounds like you are looking at this research and coming to stronger and more general conclusions than they claim. Again, most of it seems to be of the form "we took some people who were deficient in [some nutrient that is found in fish], gave them fish, and found that they did better than a control group who weren't given fish". Eg, the paper you link to shows that Greenland Inuits are genetically adapted to higher levels of PUFAs in their diet. It doesn't make any claims that those PUFAs have to come from fish. The paper that that one cites as showing that "fish oil supplementation is associated with increased concentrations of plasma insulin-like growth factor–1" (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22337227/) does indeed show that association, but it doesn't show that non-fish oil sources of DHA (eg, algae-sourced DHA) don't also produce the same effect because they didn't test that.

That you've found a diet that cures your hyperlipidemia doesn't mean that that's the only diet that could achieve that or even that it's the best one.

Your previous comment:

> And for those who say “you don’t have to eat the animal to get the health benefits”, please tell that to any Inuit or Saami people. They lived on his diet for generations and it’s affected their genome as a result.

Actually sounds like an argument against a meat/fish heavy diet. If eating it for generations results in genetic changes that produce problems like hyperlipidemia, maybe it's not something that we should recommend or promote.

(An aside, as someone who's also of partial Sámi descent (Northern Sweden, represent!), I do want to point out that the Sámi diet was/is not strictly carnivore; it also traditionally includes a lot of flatbreads, berries, and foraged plants like mountain sorrel and wild celery).
Jobs came for a different era too. An era where things where more scarce due to pre-internet structures. It might have been difficult for him to think '1000 songs in your pocket' would end up as an generalized addictive stream of pages and sucking peoples attention instead of helping good human contact.

It's always the same butterfly effect, when you put something in the world, it might really succeed at that but you never know how the system will grow around it. Kinda like this static1.squarespace.com/static/527deb7fe4b009d7ee74d609/t/54f93e21e4b025c50f0e090c/1425620525003/avoiding_pain_desire_path.jpg (well far fetched analogy tbh)

An ebook reader plus the fiction section on LibGen (and its predecessor ebook-sharing websites) has allowed me to avoid spending money on novels for nearly a decade now.

Yes, often the novels I was reading were part of the modern canon (e.g. works by Nobel laureates) and ought to be freely available to all – I think everyone has a right to a basic cultural education, and copyright shouldn’t be enforced on things considered canonical. But other times, the novels I was reading were pretty inane genre fiction with little claim to cultural value, so yes, it was piracy for the sake of entertainment. Instead of trying to deny that LibGen is used for that, I think we might celebrate it.

Some of these things are only possible in certain position,but rough ideas:
1) reduce number of meetings to minimum.

2) in the meetings, know why you are there and try to stick to the agenda.

3) sort out things you need to do by priorities ( low, medium, here and now).

4) Check if your to do list is balanced: e.g. not all tasks are 'here and now'. If it's not balanced,raise it with management or try figure out yourself why that's the case.

5) Turn off distractions: email, text, chat,etc. Leave 1 channel ( phone?) open for emergencies.

6) Inform others where you are and what you do. E.g. : 'I'm in a zone between 9am-11am, don't bother contacting.

7) Learn to be OK if you don't do everything you were supposed to. You aren't in a hospital, nobody's going to dye.

8) Aim to complete 3-5 things in any given day. No point to commit to 20 if it's all going to be half baked.

9) Learn stuff early in the day- much easier than towards the end of it.

10) Take short brakes no matter what: even 5 min walk down the corridor is useful.
While I like many of the changes in DCSS, I have stayed on 0.24 because I'm wary of how the game will play without food. I kind of enjoy struggling through the early-ish game without using permafood, and then seeing a pack of orcs and going "Hey they look tasty, maybe I can eat some of them before I starve to death!"

That being said I want to play Djinn eventually so I'll upgrade when that time comes.
So your default assumption is that a company whose entire division may be selling washing machines, doesn't give a damn about the programs that make those machines useful.

This supposedly won't happen anymore because YouTube changed the recommendation algorithm a year or two ago to not show hardcore politics as a suggestion for everything.

Personally I find it easy to dismiss bad suggestions by looking at animal videos or vtubers, those reliably displace everything else. And that everything else was just strange Minecraft roleplays for small children, not racism lately.
Seems a bit revisionist to claim that the original IPhone was ropey or average. It was unlike anything we'd seen and far better than anything else on the market. In fact it would be years before anyone else managed to produce something that could compete with the v1 IPhone on quality. To head off accusations of fanboyism, I say this as a long-time Android user who did own a G1 phone when it first came out, along with many of the other early android devices.

Likewise, the original apple watch was certainly not worse than any other smart watch on the market when it came out. I think you could make an argument that it wasn't best in class depending on use case (e.g. it was tethered) but it was far from being average.

We have come a long way since 2006 in terms of both storage and RAM. There are a lot of Varnish servers out there running straight out of RAM, and some of them have a /lot/ of RAM.

But the most important question is your data set and your traffic pattern, and whatever that is, Varnish can deal with it, given suitable hardware.

I have a MBP with 8GB and a PC with 32GB.

But as long as I don't run Photoshop or Premiere, 32GB isn't needed either.

Usually my memory usage is around 10-12GB.
Not sure which revision that's pasted from, but it is not the original text, which can be found at https://stackoverflow.com/revisions/1732348/1 and I strongly advise against neglecting the title; doing so is how some folks blunder into misinterpretation, since the wording of that title is telegraphing a quite different underlying need to "please solve this regex puzzle".
Both the PDF and EPUB formats allow embedding programs within them. The risk of malware is remote but real.
You're really dedicated to being needlessly argumentative.

Wrt to your previous comment, of course I'm talking about my model of washing machine.

I genuinely cannot fathom how it's hard to work out that my point is that if they'd stuck even the most basic interface on the back, which I bet the higher end ones already have for debugging just not exposed, I could make the machine do what I want. That's not the way the world is, but it would be better if it was.

Luckily for you I'm able bodied by the way...
It's about cache vs memory. NUMA is about local memory vs remote memory. So similar but different IMO.

Because real markets are inefficient.
Think of it like a highway : why is there a traffic jam on this highway ? Because there was a slowdown somewhere 20 miles up the line and there is massive inertia in the system.

A slowdown somewhere has ripple effects and the inertia of those systems, in the case of semi-conductor manufacturing it takes a long time to increase production capabilities, and the theoretical elasticity of price/volume doesn't hold when you cannot increase volume magically in a week.
You could dip your toe in by getting a design produced, if you're interested in the process.

Google and efabless accept submissions every few months for designs that use a free 130nm process development kit:

https://efabless.com/open_shuttle_program

130nm is plenty ancient; it's the same feature size as a >10-year-old STM32F1, I think. And I hear that those MPW runs are starting to accept ~$10K for a guaranteed spot with a closed-source design.

So you'd probably be looking at charging 6 figures per wafer. I don't have good insight into startup costs, but I would guess high 8-low 10 figures. Running costs would not be negligible either.

Is that possible? I haven't crunched the numbers and I don't have enough information or context to do so accurately. But my gut says that it might depend on how many billionaires you're on good terms with.

> Is it possible his presentation was tailored for an audience to sell them on a new product and not necessarily a brain dump of his deepest darkest secret hopes for technology?

In war, you go to battle with the army you have (at the moment the war starts). In business, you go to market with the product you have. The original iPhone was very limited by it's hardware and even more so by software. A lot of Jobs presentations early on were designed to focus on where the product had huge advantages, and draw discussion away from the places where it did not. For example, Jobs did not spend tons of time on enterprise email (which at the time Blackberry had a huge advantage in) or on the huge catalog of apps (which MS Windows CE had, comparatively, at the time).

You're perspective is not wrong - these write-ups are just getting tiring because they almost sound like propaganda pandering to an audience that doesn't know any better and needs to be protected.

Sweet! This is basically the same as my method. I studied piano up to about Grade 5 RCM, but then was married to a very good pianist for ~15 years and got to listen to her play and practice. Have spent the last few years just doing Hanon's piano exercises as meditation. Finally starting to learn pieces again, with a method very similar to this article. Was going to write an article, but now I don't have to, plus I get validation.

My upstairs neighbour is a more advanced pianist, but plays the same stuff again and again way past the point of diminishing returns IMHO. Don't bang your head against a wall. Do some short, efficient practice, then sleep on it. You will automagically be better the next day.

The point about not repeating mistakes is key. It's much slower to unlearn than to not have learned the glitches in the first place. Your brain doesn't know the difference between repetition and training. Anything you repeat is training.

Also, the point about playing faster resonates with me. I just love playing exercises faster and faster for no particular reason. That said you could compare it to a test-pilot expanding the flight envelope. By pushing past cruising speed, you increase your natural cruising speed. Your error rate will go up, so it's important not to spend too long pushing it, but when you slow back down, you'll feel like you have more time, and be less stressed -- feeling less like you're barely holding on and about to crash.

EDIT> Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Mindful, efficient practice is key.
Well, as my friend said after he got his PhD in philosophy, “Now they can send those welfare checks to Dr. <Lastname>.”
I’m not a philosopher, but I’m sure there is a symbolic logic interpretation of this that would reveal it’s absurdity.

Something like: A is bad. B is bad. Not A does not decrease B. Therefore, not A is bad.
The short answer is that it is far from a settled question - many people say “Homo sapiens neanderthalis” as the proposed subspecies. The fact that modern humans and Neanderthals crossbred and apparently had viable offspring is strong evidence for this understanding (but not necessarily conclusive; sometimes mules are fertile).

That said, Neanderthals rapidly went extinct after modern human contact, and are vastly genetically different from us compared to any two randomly chosen modern humans. They do not appear to have formed especially sophisticated technology or formed any society as complex as a simple tribe. So there are still meaningful biological differences between Neanderthals and modern humans that don’t require the delicate machinery of anthropology to understand.

Note: a difficulty here is that “species” is actually a very fuzzy concept, one that Nature itself doesn’t seem to care much about. “Subspecies” is even more vague.

Outside of modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) there had been only one other conclusively identified “race”[1] of Homo sapiens, the Homo sapiens idaltu. Perhaps there will be more evidence to put Neanderthals in there as well, but the consensus is that they were a separate but closely-related species.

[1] “Race” in the scientific sense as a synonym for subspecies, not the social sense of “ethnic group, but with more negative overtones.”
According to this article [0], the cost per flight was ~$1.2B. Yes, it was re-usable, but was still very costly.

As a general rule, I would suggest people refrain from trying to express what my viewpoint is, because, quite frankly, N-1 person on this planet suck at it :-)

There still is a cost differential between 1TB RAM and 1TB disk, and that matters in the real world.

Varnish lets you decide where you want to spend your money, if you want to run straight out of RAM, it can do that, if you want to have a bigger cheaper and slightly slower cache on disk or ssd, you can do that too.
Using a JIRA board, I suppose. Investigating issues would only be one facet of the job, other examples could be building optimizations for the low-level stack, evaluating upcoming releases, etc.
There's "reusable" and then there's reusable. For the most part the shuttle was reusable in name only.

Interestingly, the latest Macbook Air has only 8GB of RAM. I've used it about 3 months now and haven't felt any issue with perf. I don't think my experience would have been any different with extra RAM.
Facts exist. Fact checkers don't. It would be great if they did. We could just do away with science and ask a fact checker. But they don't exist.

Thus making the prices of their local competitors more attractive. Ergo, protecting local producers.

Is it overly focusing on the past or is it discounting the past because the present has to be better, while in reality we are making the same mistakes.

The periodicity is there, but we ignore it because we assume we are necessarily improving regardless because of our falsely assumed temporal-progress trajectory.

You see this in system design where someone makes something new, as a goal of improving an existing system, but really the only quality it has is that it is new. So they are also constructing a future shitty system at the same time. In many instances, one should ignore time and think about states. Or at least heavily discount it and don't let it distort your thinking.
