Just hit up the first amazon result to check out the book reviews, and seems like the recipes aren't traditional. Thanks for the suggestion however. Snippet of the review

> As an example, I made the carbonara in this book which calls for (among other ingredients) ... "4 cloves of garlic" & "1/4 cup dry white wine" & "2 Large Eggs".

> Upon further research, an authentic Italian carbonara has no garlic, no white wine and only the yolks of eggs.

> I have found several recipes in this book already which are not true to the original recipes. Granted, this may not worry some people, but please bare in mind that if you are looking for true authentic Italian recipes ... look elsewhere. This book will not give it to you.

Are the risks associated with invasiveness fixed (eg, there will always be at least a 1/15000 chance that a patient dies within the first year of receiving a neural implant), or can they be reduced with better technology and more understanding of the brain?
Well, procrastination is common among many people. It is not common in successful people - they find a way to assess the priorities of the myriad tasks that life/startups present them with and perform them is the optimal order = they get on with things. Any IPO needs a founder and later a team that deals with this or = roadkill.
If you have this aspect, from your genes or your own inadequacies, it must be rigorously culled. A lot of people make to do lists to give them a hierarchy of tasks that are in a priority basis, so if one task hits some glitch in performance of that task -that glitched thread task is dropped and another picked up so the overall goal draws nearer. This means you must not let these dropped tasks rest undone - that is part of what teamwork is all about - you ID these glitches and address them. Some glitched tasks are hard tasks that must be done at all costs for the goal to be reached - the IPO team must deal with them, just as you must deal with - say the hated scraping of the dishes before the food dries into a varnish or becomes an evolutionary path for various life forms! A team of two is a lean startup team - as it starts, it will grow as needed - who guides this? The founder alone or both of you? You are either a co-founder or you are not. Are you paid in $$ or paid in equity - that is a task that is prey to procrastination by design. After the $10 billion IPO you will be thanked profusely - unless the deal is nailed down in that COO, be content with that unless you stop this pernicious procrastination that plagues you. Your mother says you got it from your father - leave it with him, how did it ever help him?
Not being an analyst, I can not say how you can deal with this and you obviously can not.
In summation, list tasks in priority, do them in priority but multi-process tasks so stuff you do not like doing is not pushed down the list until you have a list of things you hate to do - all of which are neccessary = crash/burn.
It is possible founder sees this aspect of you and does not want to get that COO done - he procrastinates on this task - does he see placing you on the COO as hateful or as a wise way to shed someone who does not get stuff done, but he also likes = conflicted?
In any event this needs to be solved, you on the COO or you = exit.
Sorry if I sound a little brutal here, but it can be a painful process to deal with this. I expect there are procrastination therapy groups out there - find one for founding groups/founders etc..
Nope, not tomorrow = today!!
I think this all very much depends on where you live.

For example, the UK only introduced the Gender Recognition Act in 2004, and that law still stands. The UK doesn't have self-ID, but there are plans to update the GRA to include it. This is very much in line with what trans activists want.

The problem with self-ID is that it necessarily clashes with existing sex-based protections in the Equality Act, and whether you agree with women's rights or trans rights or both, these contradictions need to be discussed. The problem is that the discussion is enough to get you piled-on, blocked, fired etc.

>The rancour and confusion on these issues at the moment is awful, I just hope that it's something that we will get through and come out of with a better understanding of trans issues and better lives for trans people.

I will guarantee that this won't happen. The current approach is radicalizing people against trans.

>I'm hetero white male myself so have no standing on this,

You're wrong. You are part of your society and your society must have a standing. Your opinion matters, whatever it might be. Never ever censor yourself on issues. When the mob comes because you don't have the right opinion. Humour and 'here's my opinion, why am I wrong' is the way to go.

>but going through the AIDS epidemic at it's height in the 80s as a teenager was a transformative experience for me. In particular the almost gleeful reaction to the advent of the "gay plague" from many religious conservatives in the US horrified me, especially as I consider myself broadly conservative, at least on economics.

This sounds like me. There is certainly a statistic that aids does disproportionately harm homosexual males. It's important to make people aware of this, but we both agree the republicans from ~40 years ago were a bit scummy. Hell even the Oreilly and Hannity era...

But this changed. There's many many openly homosexual republicans now. Dave Rubin is probably one of the key people you would be interested in. He literally had Ben Shapiro on his show call him names to his face. That's what has to happen sometimes.

>Fortunately we seem to have got through that for the most part. Acceptance of LGB rights and respect for their dignity has, in the upcoming generation including my own kids, become thoroughly uncontroversial and they want to do right by Transgender people too.

Largely speaking not because of someone coming along and banning you for your views. But rather showing that their prejudices were wrong by being good people to them and talking to them.

>The Transgender debate is in a very difficult phase, partly because some issues like sports seem to overlap with and contend uncomfortably with hard won respect for women's rights and identity.

We aren't even close to the difficult phase yet. All the current pro-trans approaches are causing more animosity and censoring the debate that must occur will actually make the situation far worse than it currently is.

>You're quite right, the maximalist gender political wing isn't helping at all. Polarisation is not the way to go on this, it's going to take time for people to get to understand the issues and develop informed opinions, but the road we've travelled for LGB rights shows it's possible and worthwhile.

The other key factor to deal with. Trans people are pawns in the grander scheme. This has little to do with trans people but rather a political issue that is being used to censor political opponents and remove their seat in the debate. This will come at the cost to Trans people.
Cursory reading is : EBM would be great, but we can't trust the "E" in EBM because people selling the "M" in EBM have a vesting interest in producing fake data to justify selling more to the institutions hoping to do the "B".

It seems like the author think more "independant" parties would help (regulators ? white-label labs to do the testing instead of pharma labs ?)

All I can tell from the last two years is that I doubt people would really trust a "government agency" (or, anyone "paid by the taxpayers") more than "the corporate" lab.

(Case in point: the EU agencies that banned or suspended or restricted usage of some COVID-19 vaccines, at various points in the last year, are still mistrusted on the ground that they did not ban or suspend _one_ of the vaccines - which happens to be the most popular - hence "they must be in the pocket of lab X".)
Something I observe with people new to computing at an old age: They try to reduce any task to "below level 1", aiming at writing this down as a sequence of atomic steps of a recipe. There is no confidence in being able to remember how a task is to be achieved at any future point. There is also no confidence and therefor no interest in acquiring the basic grammar of user interfaces. (E.g., double-clicking is not linked to a general operation of opening something represented by an icon, but just another step in a list of how to conjure a certain view onto the screen, identify an "image" and then double clicking it.) – The real problem is the lack of confidence and therefor a lack of any further interest in learning and an anxiety regarding exploring. BTW, all members of my small (and anecdotical) sample are academics, who formerly held managerial or teaching positions. (Most of them also had some introduction to computers decades ago, but never used this in real life, thus never developing a practical skill.)

Now compare this to smartphone UIs based on swiping and hidden functionality. There's no chance.

Edit: Also 2FA, which requires complex interoperation on two different devices using dissimilar metaphors, each involving complex operations on their own. This is totally inaccessible.
that kind of schematic is exactly what i've wanted ever since I started trying to learn how to cook recipes (as opposed to just knowing some basic techniques and mixing things I like). I've always wondered why cooking, which is a very procedural and quantitative thing, doesn't have more standardization and conventions. If you're just trying to replicate an existing recipe to the T, it makes so much more sense to use numbers and diagrams than prose (let alone the irrelevant blogs that so many cooking websites attach to their recipe pages).
This is where measure theory comes in. In spite of the fact that the interval [0, 1] is uncountably infinite, as is every possible subinterval, we can still coherently talk about some event spaces being more probable than others.

It’s not actually pixel-perfect, because the format is resolution-independent, and different PDF renderers differ slightly at the pixel level. I get what you mean, but “pixel-perfect” isn’t the right word.
I use this.

It has a few weird bugs (very interesting UI glitches). And everything is very slow - my ssh connection has about 250ms latency, and that permeates through some things like syntax highlighting.

But again, my ssh connection is to a smaller machine with ~250ms onto my stronger machine, so it isn’t actually the right use case. Even so this has been useful, because it does work, and lets me develop if i were running a slow intelliJ on the smaller machine.

I started (and quit) a PhD based on the Machine Learning algorithms used for BCI systems such as this.

Every 6-12 months, someone will write a puff piece about their research in order to get grant money[1]/street cred. And every time, HN responds as if it's sci-fi tech from the future and I shit on everybody's dreams.

So here we go:

At a glance, nothing about this system in particular is new. It seems to solve the same problems as older invasive arrays from 15 years ago, with the same deal-breaking flaw still unfixed (namely, the body rejecting the implant over time).

He had OK-ish performance in a single patient (one character per minute on a good day), but single-patient performance is misleading as it's very common for a system to work with one "golden" patient but not others. Interestingly, no real research has been done (at least, none as of 4 years ago) to look into why this is the case - most "breakthroughs" are people throwing machine-learning spaghetti at the wall to cover up deliberately flawed benchmarking. (To be fair, this is more of a comment on the field as a whole than this particular trial. His results seem honest and humble.)

The field is going nowhere, and this article is yet another shining example of this. Nothing will ever be achieved until we abandon the current paradigm and actually learn more about the underlying neurophysiology (or possibly create batshit-insane sensors).

[1] They actually explicitly mention this in the article this time, which is pretty bold:

>Chaudhary’s foundation is seeking funding to give similar implants to several more people with ALS. He estimates the system would cost close to $500,000 over the first 2 years.
It's clearly used as an adjective here, which is the pejorative use of the term. It's even packaged in quotes, which alludes to the colloquial form of the word.

If you were to use it properly, you'd say "societal progress has been retarded by the U.S." you wouldn't say "the U.S. has done something retarded"
Sensational!

I wonder if they fixed the bug Vanced had where you set mobile video to 480p and it kept trying to play 1080p instead even when your connection wouldn't support it.
This must be a generational thing. For me, Peak Guardian occurred in 1994 when Richard Gott was outed as a Russian agent of influence. At the time he was their Literary Editor, previously he had been their Features Editor. He had been taking money from the KGB for 30 years by that point.

I take you are no big fan of Lisp? /s

Well, actually I agree with you - sometimes. I have actually written helper functions to get similar pipeline processing capabilities in js.

function pipe(...args) {
return args.reduce((x, fn) => fn(x), null);
}

pipe(
() => 2,
(x) => 7*x,
console.log
)
It's very colloquial and very regional but I've heard English speakers say it. The VAST majority only used "half past x" in my experience.

Same thing in German though. Usually you only use "drei viertel neun" and "halb neun" (i.e. 8:45 == three quarters nine, and 8:30) but in some regions they say "viertel neun" (quarter nine) for 8:15, but the people not from that region often mishear it as "viertel nach neun" (quarter past nine) because why would you say the former, so the speaker must have spoke the 'nach' too silent...
Great article, thanks for sharing. Spot on, even today.
Unbelievably hopeful and tragic at the same time. That he could learn to control electrode implants to communicate (in an albeit "rudimentary" way) is just incredible, but I can't imagine the feelings of unfairness at such a young age for him. Hopefully there's a path here to help others communicate much longer than they'd otherwise be able to.

One of the other sentences he made out was "I love my cool son," which hit particularly close to home given I'm the same age as well. Oy.
You do realise either 'side' could have typed that?

That is my point. One side can see that. I'm not sure the other can (it's even worse if they can; they wield their power recklessly, maliciously and remorselessly).
Unless you're someone's physician you can't really make an assessment that would allow you to determine if someone is intellectually disabled, so don't use it as an insult.

Glad to see it's being addressed, but:

- The proposal is stable, but not finalized

- 13 years is a long time to wait for a solution (iPhone debuted in 2007, got apps in 2008)

- Plus however long it takes for implementations to adopt this

- Plus whether they adopt it at all, since this is a protocol extension and not a protocol requirement. The XEP requires client-server cooperation, which means the clients and all servers the user connects to have to implement this to see the benefit.
11:59 to 12:00 makes perfect sense. 12:59 to 1:00 makes perfect sense (since it wraps after 12). What does not make sense to me is not switching from AM to PM at the same time as wrapping from 12 to 1.

I understand that it comes from analog clocks, but when represented on anything else it feels wrong.
You don’t “need” docker at all. But it makes things easier. You can build any application as a self-contained executable or directory with executable and related files. But it turned out it was not enough.
>Where I live, people aren't that short sighted. They bought all the toilet paper, planning months ahead.

1. While I acknowledge that people you talk about exist, I suspect that they're predominantly middle class, not the poor (ie. "people who can't swallow the cost"). If you don't have a baseline amount of wealth, then it's hard to have a car to go to costco to buy those 48 packs of toilet paper, and if your home is a shoebox 1bd apartment, you'll have a hard time finding place to store all the stuff you bought in advance.

2. there's only so much you can do "planning months ahead". You can hoard toilet paper but not gas.

>Eh, no. Not when they know the higher prices are for saving people in Ukraine.

Why's that not happening right now?

>I wonder where you live. If it's in the US? In Europe, there are more buses and subways, and fewer people have cars.

Doesn't that argument work in the opposite direction? ie. "there are more buses and subways, and fewer people have cars", so people are already taking public transit. From there, it's pretty hard to reduce fuel consumption even further as the people who are driving probably really need it?
> Why should we be interested in an anti-woke perspective from the left, when it's just repeating what the right has been pointing out for a long time now?

The obvious reason is ad-hominem thinking is very human and natural, and people will be more receptive to the same message sent by someone otherwise aligned with them than someone otherwise opposed to them.

Another possibility is that this article just plain expresses it better, more effectively, or captured an important nuance that your preferred people missed.

A dark archive is an archive that isn't available to the public, generally to preserve documents over longer periods of time for future generations [0].

In this case, documents are only made public/open-access with a certain trigger, e.g. when a document becomes unavailable online. This makes it immensely useful to find articles that almost no libraries pay for anymore.

I think we all cargo-cult our way into programming and then over decades get better and better understanding of what we're doing and why.

I remember being 7 years old and not really understanding the AppleSoft BASIC manual. I memorized the variable names in the code examples, not realizing I could name variables whatever I wanted. A$, B$, LEFT_FOOT$. The latter was there to be obvious that one could name variables whatever one wanted, but 7 year-old me didn't understand. I remember talking to an older kid on the school bus whose father worked for IBM, and the confused look on his face when I started rattling off my list of memorized variable names. I can still picture his face, but I forget his name. I'm pretty sure he was Mike. Thanks for straitening me out, Mike (Schmidt?).

At least we're getting more effective cargo cults.

The thing is that Kodak was never really a _film_ company. Or a camera company. They were a chemical company.

The lions share of their profit came from producing the chemicals and equipment used to develop the film. The digital switch wouldn't have "eaten into" their profits, it would have required a massive restructuring and refocusing of the company and they would lose most of their employees in the process.

Of course they didn't, and it happened anyway, just a few years later. I'm not saying it was a good decision, but it would have been an incredibly difficult decision to go the other way.
