Sounds good. You must also not be learning anything new. Let this be first.
The TRUTH is...

- There are a lot of different systems, you need to find one that works for you.

- Nearly everyone struggles with trying to focus when there are so many things demanding our attention, prioritizing is what helps you focus on what's most important.

- You're human and there will always the temptation to switch to the new "app" because somehow a new company has figured out how to get things done. In reality, it's always a struggle.

- Reading a new article about how to focus is like reading a book of how to run a 4 minute mile. You need to get out there and struggle and find what works for you.

- AVOID the online BS that people tell you about how their day is so planned out. 4am wake up, 4:30am workout, 5am get ready, 6am study (it's mostly nonsense). Life is too unpredictable to be able to follow that 100% and if you plan your life like that you'll be let down when reality strikes and you miss something on your scheduled because a friend/family/coworker needed help with x.

How do I manage my life? One word, Todoist.

- Make projects, add things to those projects with a date that you'd like each done and give it a priority.
- Look at the Today screen and do the highest priority things first.

What benefit does this system add?

- You'll always know what's most important and where to spend your attention.

"Authenticating themselves" to who? This, to me, is just another way of saying "residential users must use an approved sender and can't send mail themselves" since residential users will statistically never be able to get PTRs changed to their domain and instead will have to deal with them pointing to the ISP.

It's another way to force people to use the handful of approved providers to send mail and it's really shitty.

Eh, this limitation mentioned in the study seems pretty huge to me:

> Finally, the study only assessed conditions thought to be attributable to COVID-19 or post-COVID illness, which might have biased RRs away from the null. For example, clinicians might have been more likely to document possible post-COVID conditions among case-patients. In addition, because several conditions examined are also risk factors for moderate to severe COVID-19, it is possible that case-patients were more likely to have had an existing condition that was not documented in their EHR during the year preceding their COVID-19 diagnosis, resulting in overestimated risk for this group.

It also seems very possible that people with COVID diagnoses would be more likely to be on edge about their health / long COVID type symptoms. It also would have been nice if they differentiated things that can actually be tested for vs. things that can’t.

I’m not saying there isn’t an effect. I had bad cases of COVID twice. The first time I didn’t have any apparent effects afterwards other than my sense of taste taking a while to come back. After the second time - Delta - I definitely had some after effects.

We just need to be careful about claiming how many people get them. People are placeboing themselves into actually having symptoms (or thinking they do), and it’s hard to design studies to get around that.
There are a lot of people that have no interest in cultivating an objective and accurate world view.

Or do the correct thing and be somewhat skeptical but also logical, and think of things in context, weight potential causes for an issue and pick the likely one.

Speaking from experience:
1. size of mastodon is such a small thing that i doubt twitter even worries about it, among other things they have to worry about - like monetization.
2. My guess is integrity system incorrectly marked a url or link crawler/preview/whatever service is failing to crawl the page, or something along those lines. It can be something else, but my overarching claim is that it was not someone going into admin UI and typing mastodon to block them explicitly to cut the competition out. It may still be a lowly paid employee incorrectly doing something, but it's not for cutting the competition out and very very likely an honest mistake.
That remains to be seen. If I take a photograph of a still from the Matrix and print it, that's not the same as me photo-realistically drawing the same still from memory, which is itself not the same as me photo-realistically drawing it while looking at the still itself.

The good:

Many people already buy worthless digital content like sticker packs, game character art / items, access to things - buying an NFT could be the same thing, but better (and transferrable).

NFTs represent an interesting way for artists to directly connect to their fans.

NFTs allow artists to sell new forms of content vs their existing channels (ie a musician selling a music video or access to something else).

NFTs can provide ongoing "royalties" to the artist, which is potentially a complete game changer wrt the artists income over time.

The bad:

Right now most successful NFTs are basically total shit, content wise. This is a bad look for the industry.

NFTs are too expensive for casual consumption (especially fees).

NFTs are mostly successful as a result of existing followers or marketing, not their own merit (bad discoverability).

NFTs are mostly for bragging rights at this time.

NFTs can be easily stolen in some cases (compared to real world assets).
FWIW, that wasn't the implication I got from this:

The problem is that media organizations _do_ write hit pieces for political/agenda-driven reasons.

A certain side of the political aside has been unhappy about Musk trying to acquire Twitter. We've already seen how the media treats the views of this group of people. A certain supreme court nominee hearing comes to mind. It really, really isn't a stretch to think they'd attempt similar things to Musk.

That is, if the allegation is actually false. If it is true, it is another matter. Musk isn't as pure as the wind-driven snow. But these sorts of things have to be based on evidence. The actual story was second hand information and the fact of a settlement doesn't prove guilt.
> If it doesn't matter, then high precision rarely matters either. Once you have results with unknown noise in them, and you do a few operations on those, the noise compounds, at approximately sqrt(N) bits for N steps of computation (rough estimate, it certainly depends on algorithm selection, compiler nuances, stability of problem, etc.). So high precision degrades quickly when doing any work without using a reproducible and understood rounding mode.

This isn't really true for any of the numerous numerical algorithms that satisfy backwards error bounds; there you would always prefer to have a well-rounded arithmetic at higher precision, if reproducibility is not required.

> Any rounding method works works for reproducibility

Only if you round _correctly_ in that direction.

> Banker's rounding is generally better for doing computation than the usual correctly rounded.

Banker's rounding _is_ the default IEEE 754 rounding mode.
> My personal opinion is that the Chinese Room argument is fancy handwaving

It isn't hand-waving. It's against it, really. It's a thought experiment that encourages a sceptic attitude towards jumps in understanding mental processes. The operator in the Chinese Room doesn't understand Chinese. While the translations are excellent, he or she wouldn't be able to go out in the street and ask for a glass of water if their life depended on it. Hence, a computer that mechanically translates Chinese cannot be automatically assumed to understand Chinese.

The argument doesn't need to explain exactly what understanding means. We all (sort of) know what it means. The same goes for e.g. attention. That's what makes it so hard to define what strong AI is and how to verify it. The Turing Test famously tries to decide this (without defining anything, I might add), and the Chinese Room is a good argument against it being the proper test.
Machine learning on small data, oh you mean statistics? I'm trolling a bit here, but this is what domain experts and scientists have been doing for about a century.

It's a much harder area to hang out in, and pays way less unless you are a world expert consultant. Stakes are often higher. I used to do this stuff, but there's so much hype around ML it's basically impossible to survive in industry even if you do very good work.

For example if you create a model catered to a system and it takes two weeks but is as correct as it can be given what's known about the system, your manager will turn their chin too it while trying to find startups to buy(yes buy the company) that claim they can solve it with deep learning. The startups run away once they learn each sample costs 10k USD or deliver a boosted decision tree model that under performs, but it got so old I changed careers.

"Dirty filters can release bacteria poop" wouldn't get as much interest.
I think you missed the point here.

My response was focussed on the part of the challenges of async logic. And what OP essentially said is that Rust does not only help performance because of the ownership model (vs. garbage collection), but also because it makes it easy to come up with correct and performant solution to async-related problems.

My point was that, when ignoring the performance benefits of ownership model vs. garbage collection, a language like Haskell or Scala makes a performant and correct solution for async problems easier than Rust does - at least at the current point in time.

I hope it's more clear now.

There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: "A republic, if you can keep it past 19 years. At that time the sudoers will change the repositories used for OS updates." [1]

And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the contents of sudoers? Let them take arms.

> > A filter which captures 70% of particles with an air flow of 100cfm will capture the same amount of virus as a filter which captures 100% of particles with an air flow of 70cfm. Both will clean the room just as fast.

> It will not clean the room just as fast, it will take longer to clean the room.

Here are two different models:

A. Air moves sequentially. First you filter all of the air once, then you filter all of it another time etc. In this model, a filter with 100% efficacy will get everything in a single pass, and the CFM determines how long that pass takes, while a filter with lower efficacy will never get it all, but will get pretty close after a few passes. In this model you want high filtration.

B. Air moves randomly. At each minute, the purifier selects air from the room at random, filters it, and spits it back out. In this model, a filter with 100% efficacy at 70 CFM is exactly equivalent to a filter with 70% efficacy at 100 CFM, and you will often want to trade off efficacy for flow.

I think real rooms are generally much closer to (B) than (A), though of course somewhere in the middle?
Right on, G!

So maybe we shouldn't be so dismissive.
Yeah, my answer to this is "I don't".

If you're even a little bright (which is the most I, personally, can claim) and capable of actually Getting Shit Done when you are working (so, you do, in fact, know your shit, and have decent sense/taste for where to apply effort), surprisingly few hours a week are needed to maintain or even exceed par, lots of places.

[EDIT] Though I guess my main technique for ensuring fully-actually-working time is effective is that I'm fairly serious about tightening feedback loops. This is basically like doing your mise en place when cooking. Make sure as much working time as possible is actually working, and that you can do a write-build-test cycle as fast as possible, make it easy to hop in and do five minutes of work and truly accomplish something, et c.
I think the main issue I have is a lot of that workflow is no longer as differentiated as it was - definitely not to justify the premium they are asking. Cloudflare, AWS, and Azure now all have similar workflow offerings. I have choice now where I didn’t as much before, to where I’d be unwilling to swallow this premium. Maybe there’s value here I’m not seeing, but I’m not seeing it
It’s totally understandable why a lot of mail providers require correct DNS, rDNS, SPF and DKIM. This is standard in 2022. And DMARC is also not hard to implement, it’s just a DNS record.
Oh, I’m not saying you’re wrong. They absolutely could put the effort in to solve this problem.
It also seems like an unconscious acknowledgement that their add-on services (form handling, post-processing, identity, analytics, auth, etc.) are woefully inadequate in some cases and uncompetitive in others. $20/mo for form handling beyond 100 submissions? Okay, maybe. But the feature set is so bare it's laughable. There's minimal to no customization for notification emails, no confirmation emails, and their post-processing for form detection will bring the speed of your build pipeline to its knees on any serious site. On one site turning off post-processing yielded a build time reduction of more than double the actual build time of the site.

Not to mention the fact that by foregoing any concept of a server and forcing everything into some flavor of lambda they've created a scenario where every framework with any such functionality requires open source shepherding to function on their platform[0]. At best they've diluted their initial mission and at worst they've created an unmanageable mess. They can't even make Next.js work on their platform without causing what should issue 404s to return 500s instead[1]. The SEO implications for that are a potential death sentence and that issue has now been open for five months.

I was very optimistic about Netlify at the outset, and it worked great and still continues to work great for our test cases where we've deployed individual LPs. Where the pain seems to start is anything above a thousand pages or more, which is also coincidentally where the stakes start to get higher. I don't know how they could expect anyone at an enterprise or growing business to seriously scrutinize this platform and view it as ideal with that in mind.
