The simplest explanation I've heard is that hyperthreading is like using two hands to keep the mouth always full(whereas with only one sometimes it remains idle). Once you can keep it always full, there's no use adding more hands.
> It's a koan.

How do you come to that conclusion? As I recall, koans are from the Chinese, Japanese, etc., schools of (Mahayana) Buddhism -- specifically zen. But the linked article specifically states that these are from early texts (which would be more aligned to Theravada/pre-split).
I'm in the 2nd half of my 40s. Spending the equivalent of a top end smartphone (eg S21 Ultra 512) just over two years ago got me a fully fitted garage gym:

- squat rack
- 8 sqm proper rubber gym mats
- a solid flat bench
- 20kg premium Olympic bars (ball bearings just spin and spin)
- 10kg Olympic EZY Bar (for arms)
- 110kg of plates
- plate holder (aka "spider"), quick locks

This has been my best purchase ever - setting aside almost breaking even from gym memberships already. (Added a pair of 25kg bumper plates since.) During Covid with significant life stresses and all gyms closed in Melbourne, Australia, it provided me with truly needed mental health benefits on top of the physical ones. I don't know where I'd be right now without it.

I did last year with zero alcohol, so one goal down, but whilst maintaining regular workouts I still lost a bit by putting on weight (5kgs up when I wanted 5 down) and losing on squatting and deadlift capacity - thanks to not being regular and consistent in loading.

Exactly as you say, a sprint / heavy session would feel good for the moment, but the fatigue over the next few days would cause me to skip on the follow up. This year's focus will be on consistency - only do as much as will allow another session the next day, settling in for a marathon.

It will be my Barbell Prescription.

Yes, sanity is grately needed I agree and hope for a more sane period to come. That sanity may be painful at first though, just like applying disinfectant on a wound, it will sting quite a bit at first.

The statement about race is the last bullet point on page 2.
That's a powerful essay. Certain parts of it have a very modern ring to them:

But because (Kipling) identifies himself with the official class, he does possess one thing which ‘enlightened’ people seldom or never possess, and that is a sense of responsibility. The middle-class Left hate him for this quite as much as for his cruelty and vulgarity. All left-wing parties in the highly industrialized countries are at bottom a sham, because they make it their business to fight against something which they do not really wish to destroy. They have internationalist aims, and at the same time they struggle to keep up a standard of life with which those aims are incompatible. We all live by robbing Asiatic coolies, and those of us who are ‘enlightened’ all maintain that those coolies ought to be set free; but our standard of living, and hence our ‘enlightenment’, demands that the robbery shall continue. ...

Although he had no direct connexion with any political party, Kipling was a Conservative, a thing that does not exist nowadays. Those who now call themselves Conservatives are either Liberals, Fascists or the accomplices of Fascists. He identified himself with the ruling power and not with the opposition. In a gifted writer this seems to us strange and even disgusting, but it did have the advantage of giving Kipling a certain grip on reality.

> This isn't my experience. If you are correct however, that is a failure of the ISP/CPE provider, not a flaw of IPv6.

First, I'm excluding enterprise firewall here.

I've verified this with multiple non-CPE routers, and except for the router itself (for obvious reasons), no, IPv6 traffic isn't really filtered. The "firewall" is laughable on some routers (including some assuming /64 filters which isn't necessarily true for some servers like OVH's). The only non-enterprise one that's working as much as an IPv4 system is Asus'.

Some routers tries to filter out DoS attacks. Those are rather confusingly called a "Firewall", but it's not really a controllable firewall per se, allowing "normal" but otherwise a malicious-if-DPIed traffic. A tell-tale sign that this is the "firewall" you have is that you cannot set IPv6 whitelists on your router.

> I don't see a single mention of firewalls in the RFC[1]. But then neither did the ipv4 spec. Why would we suddenly stop using firewalls though? They have been standard on networks for decades.

The RFC? Yeah, both IPv6 and IPv4 have evolved in the years so that there's multiple RFCs about them. For example, IPv4 don't promote ICMP firewalls but details what ICMP messages must you allow if you deploy one (unless you wholesale block that IP). IPv6 instead never allows you to block any ICMP messages except if you wholesale block an IPv6 address.

>>What prevents someone in India who happens to have an unfortunate caste association to switch caste?

It's possible, it's called changing one's religion, its a politically charged topic in India currently.

Since this involves changing ones identity and culture in a very fundamental way, it has deep ramifications on demographics, politics and overall things in general.
Wipe them out, all of them. The ecosystem will survive mosquitoes' extinction.

On the subject of laser safety, can you make one weak enough that a human will naturally blink or look away without getting blinded but powerful enough that it'll overheat the mosquito its trained on for a few seconds? If the Joules are spread out linearly over a few second, I expect it'd exponentially decrease the risk of chance reflections blinding unprotected eyeballs.

As for the mm accuracy and IFF detection, a low power laser-as-microphone has been shown capable of differentiating the distinctive whine of female mosquitoes (the only bloodsuckers) from everything else.

Good VC's do that.

Also, $5M is a small amount for Sequoia - and it would have been a hassle to deal with, and frankly, probably already written off.

If you have a good founder and a team already moving ... $5M is actually enough to get a small team moving in a new direction so it's a smart choice.

It's a smart choice in modern Valley language though, instinctively, most other investors would have not done that.

While we can give credit to the investors, that only works in a system of plentiful bounty. You need to have large acquirers, tons of talent, etc. etc. in order for that investment logic to make sense.

What you choose to be a fulfilling pursuit is what you should get to do.

For some, that's surfing. For others, that's building a rocket to Mars.

My point is that ideally we build a society where as many people as possible get to choose what they find fulfilling, and pursue it as much as they wish.

The problem we have right now is that opportunity, training, and investment for many things are restricted to the very few.

I agree that an exclusively hedonistic outlook on life is empty, but so too is letting the very few enslave the others to their dreams.

I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated but blaming people for making unhealthy choices isn't an effective public health measure. It didn't work in the HIV/AIDS pandemic and it won't work now. Better to focus on education and harm minimization.

Due to EMTALA, hospitals in the US are required to treat unstable patients regardless of vaccination status. Changing that would require an Act of Congress. Also note that there is no 100% reliable way for hospitals to determine a particular patient's vaccination status; the registries have some data quality and record linkage problems.

While the Peary was built in 4 days as a publicity stunt, by 1943, the US was building Liberty ships in about a month (depending on the exact shipyard) from keel to launch.

It should be noted that one of the surviving Liberty ships today, the SS John W Brown, was the third Liberty ship launch of its day... at Baltimore alone, not counting the other shipyards also producing Liberty ships. Which should give you an idea of the sheer scale of Liberty ship production (it's the largest ship class ever built).

No thanks.
I hate to break it to everyone, but the American Psychological Association does the exact same thing. Our ruling elite figured out a long time ago that, instead of taking responsibility for societal problems, it’s not only cheaper but in fact more profitable to convince struggling individuals that their problems are all in their own head. Unsurprisingly, playing loose with reality like that tends to get out of control.
> How are we not prepared with a plan to end lockdowns?

We barely ever had anything approximating lockdowns and they ended long ago. We don't generally make plans to do things after they are already done.
I volunteer on Crisis Text Line and have spoken to a number of people who are self-diagnosed — some older, some young. I don’t know where people have gotten their info when they explain that their emotions are complicated by DID or because they think have BPD. I can imagine a number of people spend a lot of time on social media since CTL has outreach initiatives through the different platforms or we’ve gone viral on different TikTok platforms. We celebrate the publicity, but what do we know of the effect on someone wondering if they too share in a mental health condition?

Where do we draw the line between exposure to mental health issues and over-diagnosing? I can say that a lot of people who come to our service have legitimate concerns while others might just be teens with typical angst, except now they are told theirs is diagnosable as X.

DID = dissociative identity disorder

BPD = borderline personality disorder

(Cool it with the acronym policing. Both acronyms are referenced in the link. Reading comments isn’t the same as reading the source.)
When stuff like this gets media attention, expect a law to follow up. They want to prep the public to except some whacky rule.
I share your frustration, but the anti-vax people were expected. It’s like sitting into the wind at this point. The game plan should’ve been built around there non-compliance.

Poor leadership only plans for things going how they want.

As far as lockdowns are concerned, we have had the mass shutdown of in person school and work, as well as the forced closure of many restaurants and entertainment venues.

Well... in that case, the sender actually owed the recipient the money. It just wasn't due at the moment.

From the article:

> Citibank sued, arguing that it was entitled to get the money back since the cash was sent out by mistake. Ordinarily, the law would be on Citibank's side here. Under New York law, someone who sends out an erroneous wire transfer—for example, sending a payment to the wrong account—is entitled to get the money back.

> But the law makes an exception when a debtor accidentally wires money to a creditor. In that case, if the creditor doesn't have prior knowledge the payment was a mistake, it's free to treat it as a repayment of the loan. Judge Furman ruled that that principle applies here, even though Citibank notified its creditors of the mistake the very next day. The defendants noted that the amounts they received matched the amounts Revlon owed down to the penny, making it reasonable for them to assume it was an early repayment of the loan.
Assuming what you said is true, why is that relevant here? Many people (myself included) discover they have ADHD as an adult but that doesn’t mean their ADHD symptoms _started_ when they were an adult.
