It is possible that fasting or good diet slows down natural aging a bit, perhaps even quite a bit.

This is still far from settled science, not least because we struggle to understand what aging really is and we have hard time measuring it. The only available methods that measure aging of tissues (methylation clocks) have unclear causality (e.g. when a tissue becomes "younger" after some intervention, is it really younger or is the clock just out of sync now?)

But if aging manifests as dysregulation and good food/fasting can fix that dysregulation a little, one would expect that the diseases of aging could either slow down or even reverse a little.

That won't work indefinitely, though. Not even veteran fasters live to be 150. In order to get rid of the curse of dementia, we need to fight aging itself. Much like we did away with cholera through introduction of good hygiene practices, not just through better symptomatic treatment.

You're increasing the discriminability at the cost of high _local_ distortion, I don't see how that is a good tradeoff.

As a comparison, what would you rather have: a non-distorted plot or a plot that is on average about three times as big, but it's heavily distorted. At some places it's smaller than the original and on other places it's 5 times bigger. Would you really choose the bigger figure? That is what jet is.

Look at this plot https://youtu.be/xAoljeRJ3lU?t=791 (watch the whole video if you have the time), ideally you want the derivatives (the 2 plots on the left top) to be constant so not to distort your data. Jet is all over the place while viridis is basically constant (not shown in the slides, but the derivative stays all the way around 120).
My Most Useful Note Taking Tool
My biggest issue with code reviews/PRs is that it runs counter to trunk-based development, of which I am a fan.

I much prefer to go in and check people's small commits to master than look at a huge PR before it gets merged in, but it requires you (and the whole team) to be really diligent and do it on a daily basis, and when it comes to big features, you lose a lot of the context. OTOH, the amount of times I've been presented with a huge PR of an entire feature where the author begins by saying "sorry for the huge PR" and my predictable reply "I'm having trouble getting the whole picture here, but LGTM?" are countless, so I'm not sure that's better either.

Not sure how to reconcile the two models into something great.

As for the style of code review, I ask the team and adjust accordingly. I can be "big picture guy", or I can do that and simultaneously be "Mr. Nitpick" if people so wish (some people actually do, me included).
Magnet based approach would make captures cumbersome, an arm that lifted and removed pieces would be more natural during captures.

> Fun fact, due incompetent management 90%+ of my team left in the past 5 years.

Not fun, but I get the idea. That is never a good situation. I has been a manager in the past, and I have seen many people that despises the position. I think that it is more important that people gives credit for, and that everybody seems to call out bad management but few appreciate good management because is "transparent" and it seems that everything will work without them.
I like the idea, a lot!

My only fear is that on a first glympse it seems that it is biased towards someone familiar with React and its quirks - down to a `state` variable that gets passed around through callbacks. I would personally prefer a more "vanilla Javascript" approach. But what constitutes "vanilla" these days?
Very little from the ancient or medieval markets fit into the current free-market discourse.

For example, it's a very common misconception to think that prices would be freely determined by supply and demand before modernity (price determination was very situational). Ancient societies had a very clear idea that inequality of bargaining power could lead to exploitation and destroy societies.

"just price " does not exist in modern economics, but it was essential for ancient societies, even before ancient Greeks mentioned it.

The quality of the product was an important determination for price. The seller could ask more if the product was fresh or well made. If the trader was seen exploiting scarcity to make excess profits was considered unethical and there were laws against it.

That could only work even in theory if you've programmed in all the innate behaviours/desires human children have. And in practice raising superintelligent children who can clone themselves and rewrite their minds is not a thing we know how to do.

Problem with that, especially in the US I think, is that the majority of people will not like what you are doing. The only way to enact change is to get the majority of people on your side. What you suggest will only antagonize people though...

What you suggest has only ever worked through history when protesting slowly enlightened people and the majority of people chose to support the protestors over time.

I think the US is so divided and fed up from BLM and the election chaos at the moment, so enacting change that way is a hopeless cause.

i wanted a yaroze but they were $$$. like $600 or something in 1997 dollars iirc. a few years later i learned of this thing.

they also had some weird limitation. it might have just been that your program could only ever run on your yaroze... where the caetla hack meant you could "ship" stuff that would run on chipped playstations.
It could be, since it might give the employer some subjective confidence. Though I'm not a big fan of the idea... But it seems like an Okayish idea for the transition period.

"both live in the same country"

Yes, but that country is fairly huge. Even in densely populated Central Europe, we tend to make fun of sheltered kids from posh neighbourhoods (how many low income kids are there in schools of Nobelviertel, Hamburg? Perhaps a few well-chosen refugees). This effect is ten times stronger in the U.S.

I am not saying that this is right, just a description of the state.

BTW Unsafe streets are definitely a thing in Germany (or Czechia, for that purpose) as well. No one will, for example, move voluntarily to a neighbourhood with a high percentage of Roma population, regardless of how anti-racist was their education. Or to the proximity of a well-known drug dealing space. European hard drug problem is quite acute in some hotspots.

Curious that there is no mention of Datalog [^1] for graph traversal in the paper.

To support multi-locale names in Datomic or Datascript-flavoured Datalog attractions_v1.pq would be written as (where :entity/locale is of type :db.type/ref):

(d/q [:find ?id ?name ?lang
:in $ ?type
:where
[?e :entity/type ?type]
[?e :entity/locale ?loc]
[?loc :locale/name ?name]
[?loc :locale/lang ?lang]
db #{"museum" "theme_park"})
=> (["/z/38dwfnb8" "Museum of Modern Art" "en"]
["/z/38dwfnb8" "Museo de Arte Moderno" "es"]
...)

You could store the locale inside the name string, but then you can't efficiently filter on it. If you want the whole shebang, can do `(pull ?id [*])`. It's not obvious in their example if the locale filtering is post-query or part of the unification.

With only 4-tuple EAVT-style indices, you need an intermediate join to support compound values like ["Hello" "en"] if you want to query against the components, so I have been toying with making my own graph DB with 5-tuple (or more) extensible indices, e.g. EAXVT, where X would be the locale, but then index order matters.

Alright, I'm confused. How does this square with Hawking radiation? How can a black hole shrink without shrinking?

The article mentions both in the context that they are reconciled but not how they are reconciled.
Communists actually do say that. Marx called it "primitive communism".

The trend in economic history has been the opposite of what you say. In the 70s it was fashionable to emphasize how different ancient economies were from modern. See for example Moses Finley's Ancient Economy. The trend of recent scholarship has been to show that things in the old days are more like today than we thought. It's made the Industrial Revolution harder to explain, because all of the institutional details that seemed like they were important get pushed further and further back in time.

Anyway, I thought the quote was odd because it was such a large worry for such a small point. It's interesting that standardized weights and measures didn't require a central government. I have trouble believing that this would radically change anyone's perception of the trade-offs between governments and markets, but the authors are clearly worried that their research is going to give ammunition to someone they don't like.
I have worked on this problem but stopped because I need to build an app. I wish to continue.

I think the presented design is almost okay, even with the complexity of legacy encodings, but one thing raised my eyebrows:

> If your type always has a replacement character, regardless of the situation, it can signal this by writing one of two functions: replacement_code_units() (for any failed encode step), replacement_code_points() (for any failed decode step).

They (and their cousins maybe_replacement_code_units/points) do not accept any argument, and that's wrong. There are stateful encodings like ISO/IEC 2022 and HZ where you might need the current encoder state to select a correct replacement character. For example `?` might not be representable in the current state and needs a switch sequence. You can, fortunately, always switch to the desired character set in 2022 with a fixed sequence so you can do have a fixed replacement sequence there, but you can't do so in HZ. It is technically possible to force-switch to the default state when an error is occurred, but not all users will want this behavior. It should obvious to anyone that stateful encodings are in general PITA.

Interesting. For context I loved The Martian and quite often use bits of the audio book to fall asleep to. Artemis wasn't bad, but there was a lot of interpersonal and stupid decision making in the lead up to critical events which I found a little annoying and contrived.

I had that experience when I was a kid(of making things that mattered).

I became a cracker when I was a kid and we published how to replicate our results on the early Internet. We were the first generation that could play with computers because they were ours.

We were much better than 40 years old people(those that protected against the cracks) because they were trained in their youth with machines that were so expensive they basically could not touch. They programmed on paper.

We started our own web company early on. We were much better than the competence and it was an easy life and sold the thing at great profit. Today in this field people have 100x more skills and is rewarded way worse and it is an oligopoly of big companies.

Then I traveled the world and worked abroad. I worked in China, Japan, Korea, the US. Great opportunities that today are closed.

I used digital cameras before everybody did. Nobody uses them and suddenly, boom, everybody uses them.

My family though I was crazy for not doing what everybody else does, but turns out everybody started doing what we did first with 10 years of delay.

The last thing is working remotely. We have been doing that for a long time. It was just common sense. If you spend 2 hours commuting and are tired before working the company is wasting resources that could be channeled to create real value.

We could get people in our company so easy because they loved working on their terms and very few companies could compete with that. Those companies were like KODAK trying to do things the way they always were and it was great for us.

Now suddenly Covid happens and so many people are realizing they could work on their terms too. The mass of the people is processing and adapting to what early adopters have discovered way earlier.
I wonder if a frequency approach might be more accurate than relying on the left/right channel gain accuracy, providing the signal changes on timescales much longer than the wave period. Just generating pulses at some frequency might be the easiest method, which wouldn't rely on frequency measurement or FFTs.
Very disappointing. Normalizing sharing private keys? I expect better from Google.

None of the user facing benefits of the new format apps are predicated on throwing away the trust model of the app ecosystem. It is easier to implement and optimize the publish flow sure. Google is one of the few companies with the skills and resources to do it the right way.

1000^n is used by:

- hard drive and storage manufacturers

- measurements of network speeds (1Mbps is 1000000 bits per second)

- online storage providers (Dropbox's paid plan for 2TB is 2000GB for instance)

- macOS and iOS

- Ubuntu (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy )

- most modern GNOME applications and most GUI applications on desktop Linux

- hard drive manufacturers have been sued over this, and US courts have agreed with hard drive manufacturers that 1 GB = 1000 MB

- the International System of Units (SI) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) both use the decimal definitions (1 kB = 1000 B)

The last major hold-outs are Microsoft Windows and old command-line applications that want to preserve backwards compatibility with any script that might parse their output.

Personally, I don't find the XiB units confusing, as they are the only units with a consistent unambiguous definition. The XB units are much more confusing because you can't be sure whether the 1000^n definition is intended or not.

I understand the P-hacking problem, but if that was the source of the positive result in the meta analysis that would mean that scientists are throwing away 95% of their studies on one of the most promising COVID treatments during a pandemic. In this case there's not really a reason to throw away a negative result. Considering the controversy around Ivermectin a study showing a negative result would get a huge amount of citations and attention.

In any case, thank you for trying to use reason in your argument, we need more around this subject.
It might help if the patent dispute involved or required actual instantiations of the content of the patent.

It should be a valid argument that if no device exists for a category of patents then the patent is unenforceable. There must be a prototype. Set a threshold. After filing, there has to be some kind of prototype to demonstrate as an example. Otherwise what was the point of the patent anyway? Especially if its only good for 20 years. It should manifest within 5 years in the least otherwise where was the benefit to society of granting an effective monopoly?
I would agree with this. In a past job doing UI work, I had a tester sitting across from me. As soon as I got things working reasonably, I would give her a build to test. It was great, because we found a lot of bugs super early, very shortly after the code was written...

They're not reconciled, it's just garbage reporting.

The 'area theorem' they are referring to was by Bekenstein and others, not Hawking. It's basically the equivalent of the second law of thermodynamics for black holes (dA/dt>=0 instead of dS/dt>=0). Hawking's insight was that this formula was wrong and the area could decrease due to radiation.
Exactly the same here! What a memory. In my case, my fellow students started sending broadcast messages which included a lot more profanity. They reached the computer of the school principal, which immediately came to our lab asking for explanations. Lucky for me, the teacher was a great guy who just knew I was the one that started all that mess, but he didn't say a word.

I also remember writing .bat fork bombs during the pauses. My classmate would pick a victim and while they were away I would completely freeze their PC. Yes, silly. And don't get me started on the remote shutdown messages, again enabled by default.

Fun times :)
Exactly what I came here to ask. Is Hawking's theory that the area never decreases or that it does not decrease in a black hole merger as was tested here. "central law for black holes predicts that the area of their event horizons — the boundary beyond which nothing can ever escape — should never shrink" this seems to imply the former to me.

Does that mean with Hawking radiation the black hole effectively evaporates by loosing mass (?) from the inside without the boundary area never shrinking?

>Your chances of having FU money working a regular job are far, far higher than having it any other way.

in the U.S working a regular but relatively high paying job like developer should give you FU money right about the time that you start to experience health problems that will then eat into that FU money leaving you nothing.

That's a valid insight in general, but I don't see how that is relevant to apps that are free and have "no adverts or in-app tricks".
> FU money is literally the ability to say FU and do something anyway when someone says you can't.

I always thought FU money was enough money that you can say FU and not do something when someone says you have to. That is, enough money to retire (get fired) on a whim. Of course, even by that definition, 750k isn't FU money unless you're single in a LCOL area (or fairly close to a predictable death, I guess).

My personal criterion for FU money is 3mm. This is fairly achievable, market willing, if you have make six figures.
I'd say things have been heading south for Gap UK shops for the last 10 years and accelerated recently. They have been on a downward quality path for a long time with no apparent strategy. Every time you go back, they have different ranges, so no repeat purchases are even possible. Found something you like and want to buy again? Tough. And the quality got progressively worse. For basics like jeans and t-shirts, I switched to H&M and Muji about 5 years ago. I suspect we will lose Muji soon as well though.

I mostly agree with what you say, but I don't think any other economic/political system would do better than capitalism. The problem isn't really with which system you use, no known political/economic system can handle greedy/selfish entities, be it people, groups, companies or countries.

And enforcing rules like the Geneva convention will not work for the same reason. There will always be entities that bend or circulate the rules. (Example: Geneva Convention and the US and China (Not bashing the US here, just stating facts)

There will never be any saving the climate unless the US and China are onboard, and currently they are not. I might see that the US could be in the future, but currently China is hell bent on being the number one super power and they are ready to break some eggs on the way.
