There's always methylene blue under development by TauRX and in stage 3 trials. https://taurx.com/the-science/clinical-trials.

I read about a different midair collision, and what was interesting is that while it seems like one in a zillion chance, with the sky being so big, the way it happened seems much more plausible in hindsight.

An airliner saw a small plane, then lost track of it, and they assumed they had passed it. Due to a misunderstanding, ATC thought they had definitely passed it. But they hadn't; the assumption was mistaken.

The Captain said: "I think he's pass(ed) off to our right."

But 'due to radio static, Lindbergh tower voice recording reveals tower received "he's passing off to our right" '

Unfortunately, the airliner was descending, unable to see directly underneath them, and the small plane was there and presumably couldn't see directly above them, so that's how they collided.

It was, according to Wikipedia, witnessed by Whoopi Goldberg and caused her to develop a fear of flying:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Southwest_Airlines_Fli...

Not only was everybody on the airliner and the Cessna killed, but a bunch of people on the ground too.

I never saw anything like this, but due to growing up in the flight path of a regional airport, I had recurring dreams about this sort of thing, landing in the back yard.
This is good. Hopefully all of those scammers and grifters who "invested" in cryptocurrency will end up bankrupt. I have zero empathy for their problems. Hopefully their misfortune will serve as an object lesson in the importance of making good choices.
Maybe most people already have a job which they spend time and get money in return, so why would they spend even more of their free time in pursuit of a little bit more money? Life is more than money anyways

Duck me sideways, they were always there, but I was blind.
Here's my understanding:

The mortgage lenders have two kinds of check on your income/expenses situation: Affordability, and income. (In addition to credit history and things like that.)

They are keeping the income limits: it's not like they are now going to lend with no criteria.

The BoE has decided the additional affordability tests they added many years ago are no longer required for stability of the system and household debt statistics.

There are reports the affordability test interviews, when they came in, were sometimes much more intrusive, asking about your personal life and personal spending habits (eg. do you eat out). The criteria made it impossible for some people to obtain a mortgage who could obviously afford one (eg if they have paid similiar levels of rent for years)..

I have seen finance articles describe the affordability tests in place as ironically making lending less affordable to many people who had the ability to pay.

One class of people I now imagine will have greater access to mortgages is self-employed types whose non-standard, irregular income structure used to have to be "self-certified" to get one. That went away, and it became much harder for them to get mortgage at all. Perhaps these will make a comeback.

There's a meaningful difference between putting <10% of your portfolio into a speculative investment versus 100%. If your speculative investments moon anyways, 10% * a large number = still a large number, and you didn't bet the farm. It's a good way to fulfill one's desire to be an active investor, while largely acknowledging most of us won't beat the S&P-- I know the active portion of my own portfolio (no crypto) has underperformed the index.

Absolutely,

PGE's awfulness is almost surrealistic, cartoon villain level. Here in Nevada City, they cut a variety of historic trees along Broad street, towards the end of 2020. They had previously agreed to put lines underground and had taken matching money from the city for the project. But then used the excuse of the bankruptcy to renege on the plan. These trees were a tiny fraction of the trees that could fall on their lines and remain up, of course. And they put the lines underground this year, for shits and giggles as well.

Oh, we actually did an urban sit against the tree cutting and saved maybe one tree in the end. But hey.

Of course, all these shenanigans are nothing compared to the people they killed in Colma, Santa Rosa and elsewhere.

I’m a product manager - The company (medium sized public company) I was at previously asked me how we could better utilize machine learning in our products.

I spent a month writing and implementing a new company playbook on a building products with data science.

It boils down to including data science early during discovery (In part to help identify what data we have available up front), and viewing them as a squad stakeholder rather than a team for one-off work. It also pushed everyone to start thinking about the reliability of data for every product we release.

Some of the databases I’ve seen at companies is just an absolute abomination.
It seems reasonable to me if you presume the hardware is loaded and ready to go, and all that's needed is to know exactly which orbit it needs to be put into.
For my curiosity, https://www.tabnine.com/code/java/classes/com.google.gson.Js... says it was taken from https://github.com/Vedenin/useful-java-links/tree/master/hel... which Tabnine annotates as "license: other" (it's actually CC-BY-SA-4.0 <https://github.com/Vedenin/useful-java-links/blob/1f4278c9ad...>) but (a) does Tabnine not know about CC licenses? (b) how is the downstream user (i.e. the person accepting said snippet completion) supposed to interpret "license: other" without doing the same research I just did?

That story gets even weirder with the 3rd link on that page whose license is also "other" but this time the "view source" link goes to https://www.tabnine.com/web/assistant/code/rs/5c781237e70f87... . I find that weird for at least two reasons: (a) it clearly says "This snippet was taken from github" and has a GitHub style "org/repo" nomenclature, but doesn't link to the actual repo (b) at the very top of that file is the boilerplate Apache 2.0 license header

Finally, one should be very cautious about ever linking to "master" URLs, since the branch can get nuked if the repo owner decides to go with the "master to main" rename, it can lead the user to a copy of the file that is almost guaranteed not to be the same sha as the one Tabnine indexed, and related to that the repo can undergo a license change (FOSS to BSL is a very common one) leading to some complicated discussions
I have a friend who lost about $5k in the Terra crash. So not a lot, but he'd rather have $5k than zero. And when he was telling me about it before putting money in he was talking about the 15% thing and that it seemed like easy money, and I said something like "well unless the whole thing just goes to zero". And you could tell he just didn't see that as a possibility. Like he's not completely blind, he knew he could lose money, although mainly he was thinking about them not paying 15% and him being able to withdraw at any time. But he hadn't given any thought to the whole thing just collapsing.
Sam Altman invested in Worldcoin. And VC’s are investing in crypto startups as well.

Is there a YC partner that has never invested in a crypto company? I would love to know.
100% agree. But…

1. On the buy side, crappy big companies with procurement etc. may not have “actual engineers” deciding things. Maybe for something like Cloudflare that’s likely to sit within an actual technical team’s mandate

2. Not 100% foolproof but if a startup is selling its tool and has an uptime page and details of all its downtime and as a prospective customer you go and see that they have 3-4 hour downtimes once or twice a month, it should raise alarm bells.
The alternative is the way things were 15 years ago, where people found mates via their physical networks, work, family, hobbies, religion, and day to day life.

The criticism is similar in nature to the criticism of Twitter and Facebook. These apps play to and encourage the worst side of humans in the way that their social dynamics are designed, which distorts relations between people for the worse.

In the case of dating apps, it's because the "first meeting" is viewing someone's curated digital profile instead of getting to know their full self in the real world, they strongly encourage selection based on trivialities like height, hip to waist ratio, income and other signals. You also encourage the same narcissistic performance games that Instagram encourages. It's also the sheer deluge of profiles. Like, our dopamine system isn't designed for that, and nor is it a fully free choice when the app has exploited that evolved system to hook users. And what's going to be the impact of designing a system that makes it easy for people to self select into opposing political tribes?

Of course most of this stuff happened to an extent 15 years ago too. But as with Facebook and their tendency to stoke outrage and division, the problem is how the app has turbocharged our worse tendencies while also creating dilemma like incentives that make it tricky to opt out from.

My point about low status men is that they often aren't bad mates. They're low status through the prism of hyper gamified dating apps that magnify the importance of trivialities. There's no question that there's people who've had it worse in this regard in the pre-dating app era (various low-caste/untouchables types in different societies), my point isn't that we are at rock bottom, just that dating apps are a pretty large step in the wrong direction.

>This isn't how cryptography engineers think about cryptography.

That is my point exactly, it should be how they think about it. Attacks to the cryptography math itself are only a single vector, the software implementation of it is going to have holes not to mention those beyond it from the hardware at the chip level to the firmware that runs it there are vulnerabilities well outside the math itself.
> Also it's not exactly rocket surgery to see what network hardware your system sees available. All major general purpose OSes

That's missing the point when the threat vector is a smart display running an opaque binary blob.
>Deno reminds me of the once-hyped Meteor.js

In substance they are similar in that they both want/ed tighter "vertical integration" of tools ("DX") in an opinionated way, with the money-making plan being convenient paid hosting. "Look how easy and fun it is to make powerful stuff; we hope you give us money to host it for you!" So far the only company that's had success with this pitch is Amazon of all people, by offering a staggering array of partially specialized EC2 instances behind an API.

For whatever reason, it does seem like devs really like their app authoring tools to be independent of their distribution mechanisms. Maybe AWS doesn't trigger this because it doesn't feel like hosting (even though it is). When a whole diverse community seems to act coherently in this way, it's probably a good idea to listen to them. (Alternatively, when a community acts coherently, its ALSO a good idea to try something new.)

Deno is quite good. It may even be 10x node, if only because it avoids npm and has a much more thoughtful module system. It's a (much) better DX, too. Can they make money? Time will tell and, luckily, that's not my problem!

Using hydrogen made from electrolysis of water (using solar/wind inputs) as a fuel for electricity generation is basically a futile cycle, and the only advantage would be temporal storage. For short term storage (hours/days) batteries are far more efficient. For long term storage, hydrogen is a bad idea other than as feedstock for production of longer-chain hydrocarbons (Fischer-Tropsch synthesis) or methane (Sabatier reaction).

The more obvious immediate use (not mentioned in article) is for steel production by the H2-DRI-EAF method, the direct reduction of iron in an electric arc furnace.

https://bellona.org/news/industrial-pollution/2021-05-hydrog...

> "Iron ore is reduced with hydrogen while in a solid state, hence the name direct reduction, to produce direct reduced iron (DRI) called sponge iron. Sponge iron is then fed into an EAF, where electrodes generate a current to melt the sponge iron to produce steel. Some carbon is needed so that steel can be produced. This carbon can come from pulverized coal, biomethane or other biogenic carbon sources."

The other obvious use is as a replacement for natural gas feedstocks for ammonia production via the Haber-Bosch process, and there are similar uses in traditional petrochemical production where hydrogen is often used in various large-scale organic chemistry transformations with names like 'hydrocracking' (breaking apart long-chain molecules) and 'dearomatization' (converting benzene to cyclic hydrocarbons), see:

https://www.linde-gas.com/en/processes/petrochemical-process...

Direct air capture of carbon dioxide and conversion to methane via addition of hydrogen (Sabatier process) as a means of making rocket fuel for Starship, that's also an idea Musk should take up. That's how you'd have to fuel a spaceship on Mars as well.
I agree, which is why everyone who lives off an income rather than assets (which is ~99.5% of us) should be a leftist and support labor organization as that is the only thing that'll actually improve their material conditions.

And I mean leftist in the actual sense, not a feckless liberal in the US Democratic Party sense who still ultimately exist to defend the capital-owning class.

The so-called Great Resignation and worker shortage was really the first increase in real wages many had seen in 40 years. And what's happened since? Massive inflation, particularly of essentials like housing. That's not an accident. The system is designed such that a budget shortfall is built into your existence. A workforce that is living paycheck-to-paycheck and barely hanging on is a compliant workforce. They're definitely showing up to work and not making trouble. That's the point.

Working people of any race, gender, sexual orientation or age have way more in common with each other than they do with the capital-owning class who routinely create wedge issues to avoid any sort of class solidarity.

But people don't want to hear that either.

I was wondering what languages they support. With Swift being a protocol first language, most of the 'boiler plate' ends up being handled.

Linux is a distant outlier in the overall streaming space.

If you’re narrowing scope down to “free and works on Linux” then OBS is your go-to, of course. But Linux streamers are a tiny subset of the streaming target audience and anyone doing this professionally should at least consider some of the paid alternatives.
I was just having this discussion with my wife. I was under the impression that using the dryer to dry clothes is what causes items to shrink. Does the water temperature in the wash make a difference too if you hang dry?
it's the latter.
For what its worth, look into actual modern toilets. The first batch of low water use ones were somewhat lacking. Modern ones are typically better than the old high water use of a decade ago.

Is kind of like LED lights. First batches were garbage. Nowadays, they are better in basically every way compared to what they replaced.

I suspect my own comments on this site will probably age just as goatily.
There was something that happened in the late 80s and 90s where difficult philosophy and just riffing on the logic of an idea got conflated. My 90's alternative high school english class taught by a cultural studies PhD assigned us BBS t-files and we got a lot of stuff like this. It was like philosophy, but without rigor or competence, and when you suggested it was just dissolving reason and meaning into gibberish, they would say "YES!" with a weird, manic triumphalism. Everyone was just talking past each other and reveling in the satisfaction of hearing their words echoed in someone elses nonsense. I probably spoke like that back then as well. It's hypnotic, it exploits the listeners basic agreeableness, elevates lunatics and demagogues, and emboldens the incoherent.

By the end of the article, you are left trying to untangle a set of interleaved similes and metaphors the writer has unhooked and completely decoupled from reason.

This is his conclusion:

> The qualia dial validates zagnets while still letting the universe exist independently. Zagnets frequently end up having to deny the existence of the objective universe in order to exist themselves. Sometimes, to get around this problem, zagnets propose that consciousness is a part of the natural world, just not the part that zombies are competent at observing. Taking this approach, zagnets can run but they can't hide. Eventually, some grandson of Dennett might be insulting Penrose-style zagnets with quantum measurement devices and Searle-style zagnets with group-mind detectors even though today we believe such devices to be impossible. The qualia dial gives both subjectivity and objectivity their due.

If you ever wonder how we got here, stuff like this was the prelude.
