I don't think it's needed. The new front-end build tools optimize for production use and have a great developer experience. Use Next.js or any of the many toolkits out there. There will be a lot more support for them too.

I use Go with Next.js and svelte-kit.
...but VC and private equity funding for biotech has been available in the 90s too?
I wonder if the same applies to naturally grown fruits and vegetables today. Because most varieties of fruits and vegetables are selectively bred over millennia to produce bigger, sweeter, more shelf stable versions such that many modern versions would be unrecognizable to those from the past.
My opinion is that people who start in simulator have a hard time adjusting to flying visually (the fundamentals). The sim forces you to look at your instruments which is a bad habit to break.

But something constructive: Consider enrolling them in the Young Eagles (https://www.eaa.org/eaa/youth/free-ye-flights) if you haven't already.
That looks to me like another piece of cruft to get rid of, along with strollers and car seats, as soon as the kids are grown.
> It wasn't an attempt at insinuating anything in general, it was just an observation based on the parent comment's own admission.

I don't think that's true.

When the parent comment made that observation, they attached the caveat they might not be as skilled as others. They were already fully aware their potential lack of skill might affect their opinion of the product. All you did was repeat that same claim back to them, as if they weren't already aware of it which is a pretty uncharitable interpretation. A steelman interpretation that you could've said would assume there are some low-hanging fruit new or inexperienced developers would benefit from greatly (not just typing as you suggest), but once you develop a certain level of skill, Copilot would become less useful for experts such as yourself.

If anything, you didn't respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what was said, since you willfully disregarded their own insight into the problem.

Then to try and morally lecture someone on their behavior by applying a rule you don't even hold yourself standard to is pretty astonishing.
Weird that you automatically assumed it would be private property rather than democratically managed or self-managed.
>"they were probably understating the problem"

The authors' claim wasn't to give a comprehensive figure of the number of electrocuted birds that caused wildfires, in a specific region over a specific time. Instead, their goal was to establish that electrocuted birds is a significant reason for wildfires, rather than very rare events.

This is useful because, even without a comprehensive figure, the article still provides convincing evidence for companies that may consider upgrading systems to prevent bird electrocution. For example, from the article: "Electric utility companies can insulate wires and install spikes to discourage perching; they could also build structures that allow for safer perching on transformers."
Sounds like they had engineers connecting to the devices and manually rolling back changes. Something like...

Slack: "@here need to connect to <long list of devices> to rollback change asap"
It's just what my parents did, so it's what I do. It's no harder to access than a trunk on a four-door car.
It would be interesting to see the correlation in families with a history of diabetes, and to correlate it to T2 diabetes or "metabolic syndrome". I have anecdata about this, but I wonder if any studies are being done in family-groups, such as identical twins etc.
Researchers release open-source photorealistic simulator for autonomous driving
Yeah the "attack" is a bit out there when it's broadly assumed that the point of MEGA's encryption isn't to protect users' data, it's to protect MEGA from the insinuation that it might know what data its service is being used to store, much of which is, of course, content that no right-thinking company could store in good conscience. Good thing MEGA can't know what the users are doing.

Just, I guess, take it under advisement for what designs don't work if you actually care about protecting user data.
The HDMI port on newer Macs doesn’t work with DDC, I’ve tried to document that here: https://lunar.fyi/faq#brightness-not-changing

These HDMI ports use an internal MCDP29xx chip to convert the HDMI signal to DisplayPort. That chip supports DDC, but the method we use to write the DDC commands to the monitor (IOAVServiceWriteI2C) fails when used through it.

There are other WriteI2C methods specifically for this chip inside the DCPAVFamilyProxy.kext but they’re not available to be used inside an app like Lunar.

Asahi Linux shouldn’t be limited by the API, but the problem might be in the MCDP chip firmware itself. 1 year later, I’m still investigating new methods to fix this but so far I have no results.
Naive question, but is that dictated in the spec? Probably?

Just wondering that, since Deno is rewriting all of npm anyway, it would have been a great time to revisit some of these historical script-y design decisions, to make JavaScript/TypeScript-at-scale suck less.

Granted, probably too late now, but as-is neither of Deno's url-based imports or sandboxed-by-default changes has seemed worth the migration cost.

But, if they also made something like "everything hot reloads for free" level ergonomic/platform changes, then yeah, I'd be hopping over.
The Russians must have good judgement. It's been all down-hill for Windows since the peak with Windows 7.
Lynn Waterhouse, Eric London and Christopher Gillberg have a similar opinion of autism/ASD: see their 2017 letter to the editors of Autism Research, “The ASD diagnosis has blocked the discovery of valid biological variation in neurodevelopmental social impairment”

Some quotes from their letter:

> Taken together, the preponderance of evidence argues that using the diagnosis of ASD in research is fruitless because the diagnosis is an arbitrary unscientific “convenient fiction” that has blocked the discovery of replicable neurobiological variation among individuals with serious neurodevelopmental social impairment.

> More than seventy years of research studying the arbitrary diagnosis of autism has not resulted in any targeted medical treatments. Now is the time to abandon the ASD diagnosis in research.

Granted, I don't pay a lot of attention to it, but I thought Docker(files) ended up being the defacto standard, not Javascript?

I'm sure Deno will tell you the future is Deno. You don't have to believe them.
I am simply amazed that you cannot see adverse risk in certain activities without a study - observational, RCT, or otherwise - confirming it. I wonder how people 500 years ago lived with risk without the proliferation of studies that we have today. Maybe risk simply did not exist back then since no studies confirmed it?

It's hard to draw conclusions one way or another because there are so many variables. A good heuristic is that if you aren't speaking with a partner, your risk of having your time wasted (at best) is far higher.
Reuters is using the fraudulent official exchange rate, not the real exchange rate, which is currently $216-$220 per US$. So if you take your monthly minimum-wage salary and convert it into dollars you will get about US$200, not US$368. You need government authorization to buy (a small amount of) dollars at the official rate, and there's a government policy to reserve dollars for rich people, so if you're working a minimum-wage job you won't get that authorization.

If you're changing a larger amount of money at the free-market rate you can get as much as US$207 for each $45540.

This would never be highway certified in the US - which means it would basically be classed as a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, so it would compete against golf carts here.

I wish there was a NEV-plus standard that had a 40 or 45mph top speed, that could get me to work, part of my commute is on roads with a 45mph limit, and a NEV can't drive there. I don't mind avoiding freeways and sticking to smaller roads, but I'd still have to drive on 45mph roads.

I drive a small EV now and while it can go 80mph without any trouble, it's much more than I need in a commute vehicle.
one way to minimize this is to train on your own trusted code. You do need a reasonable amount of good code (ideally with good comments too) this is one of the options that we have here at Tabnine. Train on your GitLab, Bitbucket or GitHub repos.
Suspiciously akin to the Casanova's state of mind. (The journalism, I mean)
Weird that you don't consider how democracy doesn't always work out as intended. See: Corruption, Donald Trump. Not that it's bad or isn't the best we have, but there are a lot of superficially democratic states that became de facto property of one or a few. See: Russia.

This is why we need more funding for biomedical research. Some proportion of those additional funds need to be distributed on a consistent basis to long-shot or unexplored hypothesis research.

The issue is that politicians have for decades described this sort of research as "government waste".

Everyone likes to joke about "the year of the Linux Desktop", but I would argue the Steam Deck has come closer to actually achieving that goal than any device before it.

Want proof? Go have a look at the reviews on the Discover Center, KDE's Flatpak UI. Almost every review now, by a very wide margin, is posted by someone with the default "Steam Deck User" name.
Gates was a teen, as was zuckerberg. They were tiny failures. I don't believe Larry or Sergey failed at anything much before google. It was a little problematic afterwards because their mental model for building businesses was pretty distorted by their immediate, crazy success.
Superficially democratic states (I like your term) aren't democracies to me. I meant literally democratic, not a theatrical aristocracy. I don't consider the US to be democratic for that reason. Something like liquid democracy or a representative democracy with arbitrary right of recall would work.
I have a repo for the switch firmware, which has some pics and other details. Keep in mind though that was pretty quick and dirty, and I think there is a fix for the secondary switch that I still need to push. I should hopefully have some free time to get back to it soon though.

The HDMI dongle repo is still private, and I really want to do some cleanup before making it public. But, as for parts, I just used a breakout off amazon, and some cheap perfboard to make a hat containing the ESP32.

We're already way off topic, but it's 40%. And we're talking about two countries with significantly different tax rates and social contributions.
damn, that is a sad take.
The power cycle as a rollback is IMO reasonable. If you're talking about equipment in a data center you should presumably have some sort of remote power management on a separate network.

Alternatively some sort of watchdog timer would be a great addition (e.g. rollback within X minutes if the changes are not confirmed).
I know doctors who have (legally) shared medical images with it, because it offers much more storage than other providers and works everywhere in a browser. It is also far, far better than the "proper" channels. Similarly, I've received work-related files on it from "official big dog" people in "big companies". It's got a following beyond piracy (but because they don't post links online, you probably haven't heard about it as much).
It is climate change rapidly drying out areas that previously were not as dry. So you have decades of excess carbon in timber that the land can no longer sustain. You don't have to get into scenarios involving wolves, Castilla, and arson.

Same as the birds, it so simple: the stochastic cause of the fire is irrelevant. It could be a spark from a line, a electrocuted small animal, a squatting vagrant making dinner, or even lupine hating Spaniards... but that happened before all the time, and it didn't result in the most massive and intense wildfires in human history.
I've been reading research on Alzheimer's from the start of when I became informed about my family members having it. There's multiple approaches that research is going over of course. Some is on fungi like what my comment asserts. If you do a quick google search you can read about it in great detail.
Fantastic! Are you reading Casanova in Latin?
On occasion, also a dead possum at the source of ignition. One memorable example, the possum jumped from the power pole into a nearby hedge, so the fire started at the top.

Pretty much all wooden power poles in NZ have metal bands on them to try to prevent possums climbing them, but it's not 100% effective.
That's a good example. Another is Beavis and Butthead. My understanding is that when the shows originally aired they were relying on MTV's rights to air the videos featured in the episodes. So now any episodes (streaming or disc) only show the fully animated segments, and not the interludes where the two are sitting on the couch. Sadly, those are some of the best moments of the show...
This makes sense to me. The literature on status indicates that high status individuals/animals experience all kinds of positive effects on their health (especially when benchmarked against low status peers).
> - It's terrible if you let it write too much. The biggest problem I've had is not that it doesn't write correctly, it's that it think it knows how and then produce good looking code at a glance but with wrong logic.

So the same problem ML has in every endeavor where we have a good metric of "correctness" that's distinct from plausibility, like OCR or natural language translation: very good at spitting out stuff that superficially resembles training data, and whether that happens to be right is totally accidental. Surprisingly good odds if you're working on something boring within the "bounds" of the model, sure, but also pretty likely to think that "now on sale" is a zillion times more likely to be announced on an advert than "a decision has been made to release this product (at an unspecified future date)."
One of the greatest piece of music of all time is the fruit of a blatant mistake: Keith Jarrett's Köln concert.

Instead of the required Bösendorfer 290 Imperial, the organization team brought a smaller and badly tuned piano on stage. Jarrett - who was a bit of a diva at times - initially refused to play, but gave in, and the recording is the thing of legends.
I quit as co-founder after 7 years (we were at peak earnings) because I was ready for a change, and I'm guessing that happens a lot. No wrongdoing. Money isn't everything in life.
Unfortunately browser's don't really give you an easy way to control this. Changing system-wide settings just because one website is bad is quite the ask ask.
It’s a poetic take on relativity and knowledge acquisition.

Can’t be here until you observed back there, because here does not exist without having moved from back there to here.

Qualifying it as failure is subjective and crap poetry coupled to contemporary productivity culture. It’s a success in that you learned. It’s only a failure because it didn’t unicorn.
In Argentine Spanish "verga" means "dick" (commonly in the metaphorical meaning "useless" or "annoying"), and "-tario" is a suffix meaning "recipient of" (an action), like English "-ee"—for example when leasing a house, the lessor is the "locator" and the lessee is the "locatario". This gives the amusing reading "recipient of dicking" to "Vergatario". So I don't think the Venezuelan cellphone would sell well here under that name.

what about those that have code on GitHub that is source available but not licensed for reuse?
It probably does, must fruits and veggies that we know of didn't exist ~500 years ago.
All modern fruits are sugar bombs compared to "old" fruits. Old fruits were more bitter and much smaller.

Quick changes through breeding might change their nutritional composition also, not just sugar.

A great example is Weston Prices's book "nutrition and physical degeneration" where he clearly shows that whenever processed foods (sugar and white flour based products) entered isolated cultures their teeth got destroyed asap.
And destroyed teeth are only the most visible side effect, god knows what else is happening to our bodies.

It's usually not enough to be a bit better than what you're trying to displace, you have to be 10X better than the status quo to have any real impact. For example, SVN tried to be a better CVS, while Git came out of left field and destroyed the competition by being 10X better.

In that, Deno reminds me of the once-hyped Meteor.js. Meteor.js also though that funding could be the answer, but it wasn't. They're both clever, great for demos, but not sufficiently so to overcome the sheer inertia of Node+NPM et al. When something truly 10X better arrives, it will be quite apparent. Just like how React spawned a new generation of frameworks, nothing has unseated it yet because all the competition is React-like and not 10X better.
I swap between programming languages a lot and copilot saves me a lot of "what's the syntax for for loops in language X again?" style friction, stuff with suggesting correct API usage patterns . It just saves on the friction of writing random scripts.
I've really liked Copilot as a source of tab completion over the past year, it's far from perfect but it gives decent hints about 50% of the time, however it is absolutely not worth $14 AUD per month, maybe $15-$20/year I'd consider it but I already have subscription fatigue.
Still, even that system could be influenced and converted by someone.
Climate change, that is causing extraordinary, anomalous heat and drought, is resulting in previously unremarkable incidents like birds being electrocuted triggering massive wildires.

It was an order of magnitude more difficult to raise VC money for biotech back then.

These days you can even raise a seed with no experimental data. That was extraordinarily unusual even well into the 2000s.

There are articles around discussing how in case of Alzheimer's it was impossible to get VC funding for immune ideas, even though they already had interesting evidence.

The same cabal was also blocking them.

I think you need to be an insider to realize how incredibly political most research in medicine is.

I see him as just selfish first and foremost. He acts for the benefit of himself (and his ego) first and foremost. If liberals are favorable towards that end, he will support them. If conservatives are, then he’ll support them. Even supposedly altruistic missions like “making humans a multi planetary species” is grounded in the objective of enhancing his ego.
I know a lot of younger people in their 20s that got into crypto. I warned all of them, repeatedly, and at length.

I’m fairly skilled at making a compelling, cohesive, and even entertaining argument.

I had no effect on any of them.

Luckily, they were all playing with pocket-money amounts. A few hundred dollars or a few thousand at most.

So this crash has done them no real harm and taught them all a valuable lesson. It’s something every generation goes through.

Why can’t I be entertained by it also?
The paper gives us reason to believe the maximum rate is probably something less than 1 in 1000:

"Anthropometric, clinical and vital status and 10-s OLS data were assessed in 1702 individuals (68% men) aged 51–75 years between 2008 and 2020."

"No adverse medical events or accidents occurred during the 10-s OLS testing."
Whoa that sounds even more awesome.. or awesomer?

Virtual machines are still the abstraction. Each Lambda/Fargate (serverless Docker) runs in its own VM.
This is not correct. An individual nutrient might not be as well absorbable by itself: it might need to be packed with other chemical from REAL foods to be absorbed.

Eg we know that different form of magneisum supplementation are absorbed in a very different % based on which substances they are "packed with".

It becomes even more complicated because certain foods might block nutrient absorption or certain diets might cause a loss of certain nutrients much more (eg high carb vs keto).
> That's because it's not a compelling service.

In your opinion.

There are a lot of indications that say otherwise, you just need to look around a bit.

>A frequent reason top journals declined to publish her papers, as they did those of other amyloid skeptics, was previous rejections. As one peer reviewer wrote about a funding proposal Itzhaki submitted in 2010, “very few [of your] papers have appeared in the most highly regarded journals.”

I don't think "cabal" is too harsh a word to use here. "Other journals have rejected you, so we will, too."

> One of the four reviewers gave her scores of “poor” (3 on a 10-point scale) on key criteria, arguing that because “there is no conclusive evidence for a major role of this pathogen in Alzheimer’s disease,” the research “will not have an impact on advancing the field of dementia research.” A second reviewer called the role of pathogens in Alzheimer’s “a fringe topic.” Although one gave Itzhaki scores of 10 (“outstanding”), the two dismissive reviews sank her chances.

If the amyloid hypothesis had made stunning progress, that approach might have made sense. If not... "the jury is still out, so let's hear your ideas" would be the real Science.
