I learned a lot here, but I'm not able to restitute it accurately now: [Dr. Bill Harris on the Omega-3 Index: Increasing Omega-3 to Promote Longevity & Transform Health
](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f-CFQxaUY4&t=3438s).

From this and other sources, I can summarize an answer as this: omega-3s in large enough doses, doses rarely used in studies, and especially EPA, is extremely good at reducing inflammation (see "resolvins" and EPA), is a good natural blood thinner and improves blood lipids. The doctor interviewed above thinks that the reduction of inflammation is the main benefit. This finding stuck with me: smokers with a good level of omega-3s had the same risk of death in a 10 year period than non-smokers with low omega-3s.

Re: ratios and food sources; of course there are. Seafood often has almost exclusively omega-3s as far as I'm aware, though I'm sure this doesn't apply to farm-raised salmon, for instance.

Re: conversion rate from ALA, I couldn't find good references initially, but I've found someone citing a "0.5-20%" range for conversion of ALA to EPA/DHA (and I think the conversion to DHA is even lower, or there was some additional caveat). So that's the point, there is a wide variance.
Yes and no.

The manufacturers do their best to protect the users, but when it comes to criminal investigations there are tools[0] that can often make access to smartphone (or computers) data possible.

These tools are often prohibitively expensive and/or only licensed to LEO's (Law Enforcement Officers) and cannot unlock/access "everything", so there is no real "privacy risk" connected to them unless you are charged with a criminal offence and/or arrested.

To give you an example there are cases where an iPhone can be unlocked by two (AFAIK) different tools, one is made by Cellebrite that charges an awful amount of money for each unlock, and the other is Graykey that wants as well a lot of money but you can buy the "unlimited" option:

https://www.forensicfocus.com/forums/mobile-forensics/grayke...

both are only given to authorized investigators (Police/Government) only.

Of course it is possible - in theory - that someone malicious manages to get their hands on one of them and then proceeds to steal the phone from you, and then can afford to spend anything between 3,000 and 10,000 US$ to unlock it and access your data, but I find it improbable.

A lot of ERCOT heat these days. I work in energy and it’s both intriguing (because some things move faster there than other markets so there are more opportunities to advocate on the regulatory side of things) and just a mess (over RUC-ing costing consumers an extra ~$2B by the end of the year probably, extreme political spin on grid ops).

Two weeks ago I even threw together a simple Twitter bot[0] because I was annoyed with some of their communications there. This datadog dashboard has been around for a while - it shows up on energy Twitter somewhat frequently when the Texas grid is having issues.

I think it's helpful to think in terms of merely trying to explain my point of view and share my knowledge. I'm usually looking for conversation, not argument.

Then I don't need to worry so much about winning or making points. It's easier to be kind, compassionate, etc when engaging from that space.
There are plenty of data archival projects that can benefit from DwarFS. Stuff like e.g. old magazines or ROM collections or scanned books/comics that don't have copyright attached etc., don't need modification and if the collection is big enough then the deduplication can reduce the final size of the archive by a lot.
Developers in their 20s are definitely overpaid. Whether this will continue will be interesting to see. Currently I see so many people trained in other fields becoming developers I'm almost worried about the future of the economy. Social Media, online retail, advertising - just how many people really can work in these fields?

So yeah I expect wages to crash in the next 10-20 years. I think most high earning young people now will likely find middle age much more expensive than they thought, esp if tech bubble never reflates, Bay Area housing falls in value and wages get cut.

The end goal for me is to find a nice niche and dont get greedy.

The NFC tags would help the buzzing thing locate itself to a table. They also can be used to do what people do with QR codes with different support and the minus that people don’t know what to do with something they can’t see (there is no universal recognizable NFC logo.)

The usual narrative is this

1. Ad cost-per-click goes down over time. At some point, the entire population of earth will be fully online and there will be no natural growth in advertising. The ad business stagnates. Google's stock price depends on growth.

2. Google has a bazillion incredibly highly paid employees. They don't just need billion-dollar industries to supplement ads, they need 100-billion-dollar industries. There are not that many of these industries in existence. Cloud is one of them.

3. Cloud services scale well, so nothing stops AWS from eventually reaching something ridiculous like 90% market share. This means that it is not enough to be an "also-ran."

4. Cloud eventually failing and being decommissioned would so permanently trash Google's reputation for b2b services outside of advertising and would so thoroughly gut the company (laying off 10,000s of workers) that the company would never recover.

I am a Googler. I don't work in Cloud. Absolutely none of this is based on internal information. I have no actual idea if this reasoning matches anything that internal leaders think.

> most arguments on social media are...

... detached from any real trust system.

"Social media" is not social. As a business, it is the monetisation of strife.

As an exchange of ideas, social media is (as you say) mostly people flinging words at one another.

To be "social", participants in social media would need to manifest commitment to real solutions and people would be accountable for their words and deeds. This is how human society works. There are social consequences in real social exchange. It is a trust system.

I propose that the reason why we hear of people's long-time friendships and family ties collapsing is because those social ties have simply become weak. The pretext for the rupture doesn't much matter.

> To star-man is to not only engage with the most charitable version of your opponent’s argument, but also with the most charitable version of your opponent, by acknowledging their good intentions and your shared desires despite your disagreements.

This is an excellent approach. But it depends on the trust system of real society.

I don't think this is a good summary. My understanding of the idea is to steel-man the opponent's argument and then also add a codicil that describes what compassionate values they have that lead them to that point of view.
Can't this only really work if your 'opponent' agrees to also do the same up front?

Imagine believing a troll arguing with you has fully honest and positive intentions (or you can convince them to be so) while they savage you. That's some weird self-torture.

Or, if your opponent isn't interest in the strategies, you're back to square one.

Training yourself to ignore the individual behind the comments and focus on the content sounds more useful in my opinion over time, as it allows you to debate under broader circumstances, without any social contract. I might be completely wrong, but I also imagine it would lead to better recognition of circular logic, ad-hominem and other useless argumentation rhetoric because you're actively working to remove the emotional triggers that blind you.
This is a great question - it depends, for me it is FIRE.

But the path to FIRE is hard, can you put away a decade of your life to "work" to retire? When should you start? Are you too late?

I also enjoy this line of work because it is more liberating, if in a right environment. It's fun to learn, it's amazing to be paid to learn and even better. I'm not aware of any other career progression which leads to as much freedom and independence that IT/Tech/Software has done for all of us.
>Or, to put it another way, they felt obligated to shame people into not seeking treatment, in hopes of not having to admit that they didn't know how to help their patients.

And yet suicide contagion is one of the few statistically significant results in the social sciences. If people are willing to kill themselves because others like them did on the news what's convincing themselves they are really sad in comparison?
Wow! I stand corrected :D
Note that Mono, the framework, is indeed dying. But Mono, the runtime, is now part of .Net and it's an alternative to CoreCLR, used for things like Xamarin/MAUI and Blazor.

Though most of the time, you don't need to know any of this, you just use .Net and it works on Windows, Linux, Android, Apple and in the browser.

DNS is just a system whereby you can translate any name to any IP address. Global has nothing to do with it. In fact, by nature DNS is almost always local (you go to your chosen DNS server's IP to get the data). Your DNS server is free to lie to you about the real IP for www.google.com.

The thing that protects you here is TLS and PKI and our agreed-upon global trust system of registrars and certificate authorities that have been built up. DNS itself is just one (very abuse-able) cog in that wheel.
>the increasing over-clickbaity titles and thumbs

an unfortunate appeal to the recommendation algorithm that is now a must. You are leaving views on the table without employing these clickbait methods. One solution that many channels use including Veritasium is trying out various clickbait packaging for the first 24-48h, then swapping to something more descriptive.

When these videos represent not only one person's livelihood but also the salaries of a team of producers, camera operators, scriptwriters, etc it just makes unfortunate sense to appeal to the algorithm
I disagree with this. Animals will only act how they act until it becomes inconvenient (I.e death ). It’s not that their way of acting is right but just so that their environment allows for it without outright threat of extinction. If the environment became one in which being carnivorous was disadvantageous (let’s say some freak virus that only transfers through the consumption of meat) then even though they’re following their natural instincts , the world is no longer a place for them.

Similarly, civilization is as natural as a meat-only transferring virus. It’s a environmental change. In this environment. Murders and rapists are usually disadvantaged. Its never a matter of who has a right or non-right to exist by what’s “natural” but what is advantageous given your environment.

God why is this blockchain? If I want to decentralize naming then I want to get away from IANA as the exclusive authority top down, but what it means is I want a reputation/selective trust system not some PoW trash.

i.e. "are you my bank?" It's a question I want answered specifically, in a cryptographically secure fashion by my local government well-known authority, and then my bank.

"Are you the local resistance leaders?" is a question I want answered by a chain of signed pseudonyms with set of revocations being published frequently through anonymous channels.

In both cases, details like "how are TLDs assigned?" should ultimately be in my control, with a convention to establish "normal" practice.

One of those use cases shouldn't be wasting my money running GPU miners, and one of them can't.

> It doesn't cost anything to get to and from the airport for me.

Of course it does. At the minimum, it is the price of the train ticket to get you back to the city. If someone is picking you up at the airport, they are paying for parking and their time to travel back and forth.

> The point is that Hamburg -> Munich should be cheaper than London -> Hamburg

The issue is that your plane ticket does not include all the externalities that it should. You are being subsidized by other passengers and you are not paying for environmental damage caused by the plane, the cost of the infrastructure to support the airport, etc, etc.
for some parts of it, yes. I keep my body and emotional health in check and even do well for the most part, but I don't worry about my mental health all that much - I optimize for output with only modest regard for my mental health right now.

This shows that it's not really about actually "thinking about the children", otherwise they'd be actually thinking about the children long term and not just using them to gain political platitudes.

Author of ripgrep here.

There are two ways to talk about "speed." On the one hand, we have the "speed" that is associated with the user experience. That is, given some problem the user cares about, how fast can you solve it? On the other hand, we have the "speed" that is associated with doing precisely the same task and measuring which tool does it faster.

ripgrep is generally faster at both of those things, but it's the former where it really shines:

$ git remote -v
origin git@github.com:nwjs/chromium.src (fetch)
origin git@github.com:nwjs/chromium.src (push)

$ git rev-parse HEAD
5d32cab40f738932eddc017980e2e409c5abef2c

$ time rg 'Xvfb and Openbox' | wc -l
1

real 0.289
user 1.526
sys 1.731
maxmem 87 MB
faults 0

$ time grep -r 'Xvfb and Openbox' ./ | wc -l
1

real 5.405
user 3.489
sys 1.890
maxmem 11 MB
faults 0

(I ran these commands multiple times each until the times stabilized. i.e., The directory tree is in cache.)

We're talking about an order of magnitude improvement here to get the same results. And not just in a "ripgrep took 10ms and grep took 100ms, but both are fast enough" sense. This is the difference between "near instant results" and "this is taking annoyingly long."

Now of course, from the perspective of the second idea of speed, this isn't an apple-to-apples comparison. GNU grep is actually searching a lot more data here. We can make ripgrep search the same amount of data as GNU grep quite easily:

$ time rg -uuu 'Xvfb and Openbox' | wc -l
1

real 2.538
user 2.570
sys 3.017
maxmem 72 MB
faults 0

So, still a big improvement over GNU grep, but it's not quite as jaw dropping.

The important bit here is that a lot of people care about the improvement at the UX level. You can, for example, get a fair bit of improvement with GNU grep with some extra flags:

$ time grep -r --exclude-dir='.git' 'Xvfb and Openbox' ./ | wc -l
1

real 1.630
user 0.781
sys 0.826
maxmem 11 MB
faults 0

And now you've got to shove that stuff into an alias or a wrapper script. Which... is fine. I did it for a very long time before I wrote ripgrep. I had a whole bunch of aliases and wrapper scripts, many of which were specific to certain types of projects. But once I built ripgrep, all of those aliases and wrapper scripts went away. Because ripgrep's heuristics for smart filtering by default subsumed all of them.

Finally, it's worth pointing out that ripgrep isn't intended to replace grep. It literally can't. It's not POSIX compatible. So if you're writing shell scripts and care more about portability, then 'grep' is a fine choice. Indeed, I still use 'grep' for precisely that purpose.

There are various "corn bulb" LED products, but FWIU few of the products verifiably produce UVC light; and even fewer still are built from relatively new (full spectrum) UVC LEDs.

It's... unpredictably far away! We suck so bad at estimating these kinds of things, that whether it's tomorrow or 500 years from now, I'm convinced we'll be totally surprised, unprepared, and our nor even sincere effort to stear things down a good path (eg. OpenAI and such...) will be either worthless or detrimental!

We should simply pursue "organic growth" eg. grow as much people as we can care for and educate properly. Unfortunately our elites seem really hell bent of keeping the social landscape hyperconpetitive so the resources we have don't really get distributed... and as a consequence of course (rational) pople have fewer children! Also there's an intellectual war fought on "traditional values" that enabled stuff like extended famimlies to exist and make child rearing at least bearable by sharing the load of caring for the nasty little critters.
Agreed. The tech bubble will be difficult to pop but it will.

I don’t agree with developers being overpaid because the knowledge we need at a high level is ridiculous.

I do agree that there’s too much money in tech though.

Matthias does great work! I sub to that channel (and many others mentioned here) as well. I didn't include it on the list because to recommend it to someone I think you'd want to be sure they had any interest in the area at all, though maybe the "intellectually curious" part would cover that.
