very interesting! I wonder if targeting inflammation is the right approach though. To elaborate, swelling and inflammation after injury or physical stress serves a purpose and should NOT be 'treated' to disappear [1]. In the same way, I wonder if inflammation is something which aids in aging rather the root cause of many of the issues it causes (sure, it may certainly have some unwelcome side effects). That said, welcome this research and how it can be used for living and non-living creatures.

True, but personally I think JS and Python would have benefitted from being more consistent about being object based. JS in particular, since it's prototypal, but has function constructors and class syntax, along with other things added over time that make the language more complex.

Kind of disagree with this.. solving protein structures is not the rate limiting step in drug discovery or in biochemical assays -- not by a long shot. See this excellent comment by @dekhn on a related submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27849046

The CIO can resign instead of going to jail. It all depends on how strictly the law gets e forced. If only a few get caught, then it becomes a dishonor to not have "the balls" of just risking it, and you'd not get a new job as CIO if you didn't want to play it out. But if it's guaranteed to get caught, nobody would do it.
This is key: "on all of our remarketing campaigns"

The discrepancy is that a 75% reduction in users opting into Facebook tracking is leading to only a 30% reduction in iOS share on the highest ROI ad campaigns. 30% is big but not 75% big.

Another possible explanation is that opting out of tracking in iOS doesn't make you invisible. It just makes it hard for Facebook to correlate your off-app/non-Facebook.com web activity, but there are ways around that. So what 30% means hinges a lot on how the 1st touch -> 2nd touch leap is done, and the data for that leap doesn't always come from Facebook.

What evidence, exactly? IIRC, there were some professional-looking mathy analyses that claimed to find it, but they all had glaring methodological errors.

I think there are cases where "the sides don't even agree on the same facts anymore" and both have some claim to truth, but it's not on election fraud or the election results.
I made a side project to experiment with this approach (and rust) a few years ago. It worked pretty well but it made simple queries more complex[1]. I was a little bit worried that complex queries would become a lot more complex so I'm not sure how well this approach would scale.

It removed a crazy amount of boilerplate code [2] though and made the project much more focused on the actual data which is always a good thing.

Ever since, I've been very curious to try edgedb [3] since it promises to do similar things without making the queries more complex.

Thanks Jonathan. Appreciate the callout about the chart -- I'll look into that.

For dependents, wouldn't "discount expenses after some date" be roughly the same as taking some from your current living expenses and putting it into a child expense which eventually goes away?

But yeah, point taken. It's probably not the smoothest experience. Perhaps having additional ways to control how expenses change over time would help? Maybe something along the lines of an interactable plot where you can specify different values at different ages to interpolate between?
We still have yet to see if that will actually become a standard going forward. Sure there's probably gonna be some fancy games without loading screens doing crazy content-streaming tricks to show of the new console hardware, but in the long-term, studios may decide it's not worth the time and effort compared to just having a loading screen that loads the whole level in a big chunk.

Plus you're gonna be targeting a much wider userbase for the time being by not targeting SSDs.
Fox45 and Fox News are essentially totally unrelated. You are the unwitting victim of misunderstanding the somewhat complex and historical way TV stations are named in the US (out of curiosity, what is your approximate age and region you are from? I doubt an older American, raised with broadcast over the air, would ever make this mistake).

I will explain:

That site is from a local TV news station called "Fox 45 Baltimore" and they have some news. it is a local broadcast (formerly VHF or UHF, idk how digital HD broadcast works these days) TV station and FCC licensee in Baltimore that has nothing to do with Fox News. These licensees exist in neerly every major city, as do NBC, ABC etc affiliates. They harken back to an era of something called "broadcast station networks" in which local stations in different cities formed federations to share programming production costs. this system arose in the 1940s or so I believe.

Fox45 and other similar stations are beholden to a broad local audience, albeit skewing older because young people don't watch TV offline much.

Fox News on the other hand is a cable TV channel that has nothing to do with those other stations. it was likely founded decades later.

the idea that Baltimore would be a "city with a large fox news presence" is so laughable that I really have to imagine you are very young or from somewhere very far from the northeast US.

there is also a movie production company you may have heard of called 20th century Fox. it has produced many classics.

none of these 3 (and a variety of other companies with the Fox name) have neerly anything to do with each other. I believe it all comes down to licensing the same trademark from each other due to historical mergers, acquisitions, and sales over the last hundred years. The Fox name originated almost a century ago with an ancient early Hollywood company called Fox Films, and later merged with 20th Century something or the other.

corporate genealogy is the most monstrously complicated thing you'll ever study so I am sure I mangled many details. this is just what I remember as general common knowledge when and where I grew up. I was born in New Jersey in the 80s for reference. best regards, and enjoy reading more on this topic if it interests you. Wikipedia will be your friend here. Try reading about defunct networks like MBS, UPN, or The WB. or look at the odd Genesis of MSNBC. the MS, a younger reader might be surprised to learn, stands for Microsoft!

to be clear I am not criticizing you but rather taking joy in getting to introduce you to a truly complex field of knowledge that you never before realized was right in front of your eyes: the mind bending way corporations and brands with long histories are named. try looking at the corporate genealogy for general electric or IBM or Bayer or the former AOL Time Warner. it's as complex as anything in the software world
It can be an aid in drug development, and can perhaps assist a bit in tuning small molecule drugs for more stable binding.

Though I think the major impacts will be two-fold:

(1) The field of structural biology is going to see a change, with much more data available. Some structures of difficult to crystallize proteins will be solved, which may lead to much greater biological understanding. We may enter a time, where once you have a primary sequence, you also have a likely 3d-structure, which will probably change the daily work of quite a few biologists a bit.

(2) Industrial protein design. A tool such as this can potentially have great utility in optimizing proteins as chemical catalysts for various processes in different industries. This includes expanding the conditions under which a protein is active and also making their conformation more stable and so the protein more long-lived in solution.

Wonder how many AA batteries this will burn through in a day though.
Depends. I get horrible carsickness just riding a bus or a plane, so I get some motion sickness in VR no matter how high of FPS it is, no matter how low the latency. I sometimes get motion sickness playing games on my monitor too though, so I'm definitely in the most susceptible category for this stuff.

Like other said though, the worst of it goes away after using it a few times. I noticed though that if you're really susceptible to motion sickness, you basically need to adjust to every type of locomotion or movement individually -- and any vehicles or cockpits are still totally unviable for me still, from No Mans Sky to American Truck Simulator.

Though it's not just one kind of locomotion either -- I adjusted to head-position-relative smooth locomotion with a joystick on a flat surface at a walking pace, but what about downhill at a running pace, on horseback? Then I have to spend another week getting used to THAT. Or what about smooth locomotion circle strafing in a dungeon around a bunch of skeletons? Another week. And I still can't handle any camera rotation at all.

Since they are targeting a single hardware platform with little difference in configuration, I feel proton will run much more smoothly on the Steam Deck. They will be able to tie the software with the hardware more closely for better compatibility.

It's happening. Been happening for a while. We must take responsibility.
I've seen a rocket launch at KSC and can highly recommend it. (It wasn't SpaceX though.)

One thing to remember though is that launches can easily get scrubbed due to weather, planes flying into the restricted zone etc., so make sure to plan to stay for most if not all of the planned launch window if possible. When I went I stayed at a hotel in Orlando, which can be fun but it's also a bit of a drive so might be worth finding lodging closer to KSC if you're not too keen on driving a fair bit.

If you're viewing the launch from KSC your ticket won't be refunded either, and they'll only open up tickets for the next attempt after the launch is scrubbed so you can't prebook for all attempts either.

When I went the first attempt was scrubbed, but they launched the next night. This actually worked out better for me, since then I could score tickets to the viewing gantry which was closer to the actual rocket, and an amazing experience.

Pro tip: if you're spending multiple days at KSC just buy a year pass – it's worth it.

Also pro tip: don't forget to visit the nearby warbird museum as well, they've got an amazing collection of airplanes and very knowledgeable volunteers on staff!
Yes, it is still useful. Even structures obtained through traditional means (eg. x-ray crystallography) are approximations to an extent since there are limits to the resolution that you can obtain and oftentimes regions of proteins are "disordered". Additionally, these structures are only snapshots of a protein in a particular state, which may not completely reflect the dynamics of the protein in its native environment.

ATSC has only one FEC parameter compared to DVB-T and ISDB-T, which also have more robust modulation schemes. ISDB-T includes an interleaver that makes it more resilient to impulsive noise compared to DVB-T.

ISDB-T modulation scheme is very interesting. It is comprised of 13 sub-carriers ("segments"), and by spec, one of those can be the "mobile" channel (called 1seg, as it occupies one of the 13 segments and leaves 12 for the main mux). It can have different modulation parameters from the 12 main sub-carriers, so you can make it more robust with less available bandwidth and make the main mux less robust but with more bandwidth.

IIRC there are other ways to distribute the ISDB-T segments but I don't remember how out of spec it would be. Most 13-segment receivers (ie, TVs, set-top boxes, some USB adapters) wouldn't care (at least 10 years ago they didn't care) and it would work, though.
And then what? You hand your engineers a decryption key and hope they don't ask questions?
The derivative of the function is the rate of change in that function. The rate of change in atmospheric CO2 is the rate of emissions.

This is modulo natural sources and syncs, of course, but CO2's half-life in the atmosphere is long enough that on the immediate timescale those influences can be ignored. We're not going to reach a new steady-state for some time even if emissions remain constant; rather than constant emissions resulting in constant concentration, constant emissions will result in concentration rising at a constant rate on any near-term (< century) timescale.
SMTP doesn't reliably deliver messages, implementations of it do. A webshit could easily create an SMTP server (with the help of a library written by someone with actual programming skills) that silently drops messages when any error occurs instead of implementing all that robustness.

I work in cancer research with a drug discovery focus in a lab with some structure biologists.

Drugs can then be designed to modulate its biological functions.
But the thing to note is that a user can have a right to distribute (as with GPL) but does not necessarily have the rights to the license.

So if the user uploads the source to GitHub, they agree to the terms (which they may not actually have the rights to) but that isn't equivalent to the rights owner giving GitHub the rights to distribute the source under a different license.

The TOS can only modify those distribution terms (if it even can be found to be legally binding) if the user uploading the source is the rights owner which in so many cases is not the case.

You're absolutely right. ZFC + ¬Con(ZFC) is a weird set of axioms, and no mathematician really studies it. I skipped this point, because we weren't really discussing such axioms, but it's an important point that there are different levels of mathematical / philosophical commitments, and realism and PA are way stronger commitments than the ones people have about cardinalities.

That's a very odd definition of "left" floating around down there in the US. What is being called "left" in that context is nothing but neo-liberal centrist politics, and it has wanted to own political discussion in the US in some form or another for over a century. It's right of centre and frankly conservative on fundamental economics issues [i.e. where all the power is held], and could only be called "left" in the domain of cultural issues...

Actual socialist politics are not permitted in US discourse, just stuff around the margins which is not threatening to corporate power (identity politics, maybe some health care reform).

I remain flabbergasted by the increasing number of people who can somehow in the same breath complain about "radical socialists" and "cultural marxists" while at the same time somehow equating those people with "corporate elites" and "silicon valley" -- the two are the enemy of the other.

EDIT: as a person with actual radical socialist politics, I can assure you that both Facebook and the NYT want nothing to do with my views.
