Charachorder One[1] keyboard uses 10 joysticks instead of 120+ keys. Instead of building words by typing characters serially, the typist moves each joystick into a position then a software layer offers word completion.

Apparently the same company also offers the word completion layer on top of a more traditional keyboard.

I have a friend who has been training his brain for this keyboard, but don’t know about his progress.

Very interesting launch, congrats and good luck!

Anecdotally, I've struggled with inflammation (joint pain, needing lots of NSAIDs, adult-onset food allergies), but my C Reactive Protein levels were normal when tested.

Have you considered testing fo rother inflammatory markers that might help people like me?

Thanks for sharing -- it's a little short on details though! Is there somewhere that you share what interventions you implemented when? And did you establish a baseline first?

I ask because if your initial level were omitted as a single outlier, the remainder of the chart would look a bit different.
Relevant: “curcumin is a PAIN (pan-assay interference compound, ie a substance with weird chemical properties that make every test seem positive, so if you do chemical tests to see whether it activates eg coronavirus-fighting immune cells, it will always say yes). This means people are always publishing exciting papers about it and alternative medicine people are always getting really enthusiastic about it and suggesting it as the cure for everything (eg depression).”

Couldn't disagree more. Do you remember all the nonsense you had to read about componentWillUpdate, componentDidUpdate, getDerivedStateFromProps, componentWillMount, componentWillUnmount? What a mess. Hooks clean up so much of that complexity.
Plus so many places just expect you to have a phone. For tickets and access to places, to view a menu and order in a restaurant, to access maps and information.

My last friend who still uses a "dumb" phone with no internet has started to struggle over the last few years as more places just require a smartphone. He's increasingly excluded from services.

I tried googling

Search Term : Result

Life expectancy Russia 1990 : 68.89

Life expectancy Russia 2019 : 73.08

For reference, in the US:

Life expectancy US 1990 : 75.21

Life expectancy US 2019 : 78.79

I dunno nothing really stands out. It looks like Russians benefited a little bit more, but Americans were starting from a higher baseline so it makes sense that gains would be harder to come by.

2019 was selected rather than 2021 for obvious reasons.
These sorts of findings have convinced me that studies with any variation in the caretaker for rats (and maybe other animal models) are suspect. Maybe all of them are suspect, because in my experience the vivariums that house the animals for studies like this are generally densely populated and multi-tenant. Sure, they may have extreme entry procedures - but in the end, your rat study is sitting in a lab adjacent to two other labs that are doing god-knows-what, and the positive-pressure air system for each lab can't be totally effective when you have study staff in and out through doorways. Entry to the floor usually means airlock-entry; entry between labs generally doesn't.

I accidentally found myself in a position where I ended up going through decontamination chambers, donning a 'bunny suit', and doing the install for tech systems supporting rodent studies in a vivarium a few years back. Because of paranoia over pheromone contamination, I wasn't even allowed into the actual room with the rodents - I communicated with someone inside the study room while looking into the room via a window and directing them as they attached cables between systems. After that point, we had a functional wifi network in that general area of the vivarium and we never needed to send another 'techie' in again (we could just have the studies' operators do installs over video calls once we had a network).

Mind blown. I don't often feel like I'm looking straight into the future, but the way Andy describes this process 100% evokes this feeling now.

In some domains this will almost certainly transform the way people create art, and it will feel like it's happening overnight.

Digital artists will surely adapt and use these technologies to their advantage, but transitioning will take time.

Personally, this also feels like merely a first glimpse into a world where humans use AI-based "cultural technologies" (to borrow Alison Gopnik's term) to "fill in the blanks" on ideas across many domains.

What we are seeing now is likely just the first pass at what this technology can do.
I recommend working for a company that care about your results not whether you sometimes arrive 10 minutes late for work. Managers that focus on arrival time are in my experience incompetent.

Uhm what? You can believe something is true but it does not make it objectively true.

Science is not believing in the sense of religion. Science is about curiousity and exploring ideas that one thinks might be true. The next step is to try to experimentaly verify the idea or to for example mathematicaly prove it. It's not about believing something is true and then stopping there.

> Quite frequently even the top echelon scientists are pushing science forwards based on ideas that started well before them.

What's wrong with that? Not every idea can be completely fresh. I am not sure what your point is.

> These conversations aren't really possible anymore, people aren't interested in the meaning of words or meaning at all. They just want to relate to whatever goofball idea their tribe agrees with.

Sounds a lot like religion?

> Oh so you want me to summarize the history of ideas after all -.-

>that tired old trope about the Democrats being equivalent to center-right party in European politics.

This is dumb misconception, too. It is absolutely false. If anything, Europe (even if you focus solely on Western Europe -- if not, "slightly" would be "extremely") is slightly more conservative than America, especially socially. That may seem false if you look from certain angles, like social welfare, but those are red herrings (e.g., social welfare's a lot easier to expand when taxes are already very high, when your poverty levels are already way lower, etc.).
I think the main issue is Starlink still needs a nearby groundstation to work.

Bupropion works very fast by itself, where it works at all. Most likely people who benefit from bupropion get no benefit from the DXM, and vice versa.

So maybe this is supposed to be a scattershot to try two things that might work. If it comes back after a week without, it was the BUP that worked, otherwise the DXM.
The cake being acting as a storefront for third party vendors and the icing being commingling. On its own selling products on behalf of a third party vendor creates enough problems – especially with a vendor like DigKey where you might come to expect predictable pricing and availability.
Terry Davis was right!
PGO can be thought of in a sense as a form of JIT (just that you have to manually capture a profile and keep it up to date to be relevant vs happening transparently at runtime). Still, it can offer benefits [1]. So clearly something that automatically JITted without the headache of managing PGO profiles could make it MUCH easier to turn globally without needing to really do a lot of work.

Here in Australia, kangaroos colliding with cars are a problem. Wind powered "whistles" are available which claim to ward off the kangaroos (eg https://www.motoquipe.com.au/buy/animal-repeller-black-sonic...).

I wonder if something similar would work for bats (and maybe birds too)?

But then again I'm dubious about their efficacy for kangaroos. It would be worth investigating though.

Not at all. Consistent effective execution is what matters for most things. Farming is 1000x more important than “innovative” software development. Without farming we would all be starving and dying.

Of course having the plans is great. I wish all information was free. My point is that planned obsolescence, assuming it exists (which I do) can only be solved by the manufacturer. Even if we make an open source blueprint for a given appliance, It will not stop the manufacturer from modifying the blueprint by using cheaper materials or otherwise ensuring that the device breaks in x years. The only relevance open source blueprints has that I can see to planned obsolescence is that is lowers the barrier of entry to making a product, thereby increasing competition and somehow making it easier to make quality products. I can't save for sure, but I would assume the largest barrier is building and scaling the factory, not the blueprints. The manufacturer ultimately has the last say here.

One solution is the hire a factory to build the product to spec. Here we can deal with planned obsolescence by raising consumer awareness about a given blueprint, so that they know to buy the right spec. That sounds a lot like HDMI, which has no shortage of low quality implementations. now that's not a perfect comparison because HDMI is only one part of the cable and I don't know how much needs to be verified to qualify but ignoring that there is another issue of simply uncertified products altogether taking advantage of the name to sell worse quality products. And this leads me to my last point which is that it may not be feasible to have a standard like HDMI for appliances like a blender. The reason HDMI exists at all is not because of quality per se but because devices need to work together. So what results of this in my opinion is that there are a lot of (too many?) prerequisites to solving planned obsolescence, definitely more than just publishing the plans.

Ease of use of not having to figure out what a representative workload looks like / collecting samples from production. The downside is that you have to spend CPU cycles JITting in production.

I could see this getting more play than PGO if it becomes really easy to turn on.

> It’s a contrastive term for distinguishing from the British colonizers.

Is there some fundamental difference between what Muslim conquerors did to India in earlier centuries, and what British conquerors did to India in later ones?

People talk about the historical expansion of the European powers starting in the early modern period as if it was some radically different historical phenomenon from earlier episodes of imperialism/colonialism in human history (the Mongol Empire, the Islamic Caliphates, the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, etc). No doubt there were certain differences – especially when it comes to scale – but was it fundamentally different in essence? In moral status?

> The fact is, as others have pointed out, the invaders became the people in the case of Mughals and those before them; they are weaved into what it means to be part of the Subcontinent.

If British rule had endured longer, could not that have become just as true of the British? And in a lot of ways – legal systems, political systems, education systems, the popularity of English (especially among the elites) – the British did "weave" themselves, and those weaves endure to this day.

>Honestly have really reached that place where HN commenters feel that we have to protect wealthy and successful adults from big bad podcasting boogeymen?

Have we reached the place in which empathy must be conditional? I can feel bad for people who are put in an uncomfortable situation regardless of their level of success.

Angelina Jolie might have won an Oscar, have hundreds of millions in the bank, and was able to turn down his advances, but I will still feel empathy for her for being the target of Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment. Rich and successful people are still people.
The main point of the article seems to be that Starlink can be used for military based communication, and that the system has too many satellites plus built in redundancy to cost-effectively destroy with the traditional method (a rocket).
The word "senses" from your definition can be understood multiple ways. Yet, the meaning is absolutely clear from the context, just as the word sex is in the article. You are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Do you genuinely believe that people in eastern europe at the time were so oblivious and naive? I can bet you that on average, they were way more cautious and aware of their surroundings than modern people living in the west are.

For once, I don't think that they would consider leaving all of their valuables in front of the front door where everything is visible. Unless installing the front door includes rummaging through the entire apartment, all while the person living there is just standing and smiling. Which, I assure you, isn't how it usually goes.

And I am not trying to make it as some attack on people living in the west, I am one of them now myself. It speaks more about how safe and comfortable the modern western life can be, compared to what it was in those eastern european countries back then, that we can afford to be so oblivious to our surroundings and so much less cautious.

A better WebMD already exists, and it’s called UpToDate. It’s target audience is doctors, but you can pay ~$20 for a week as a consumer (you can pay less per week for longer also). It’s a great resource, and has a summary of the most recent consensus view on common medical topics. It doesn’t expand pages out with fluff or talk down to you, though it won’t have too much info about assumed medical fundamentals. You can pull the citations and look up the references.

Reading it makes your appreciate why WebMD exists. Not everyone wants to read highly technical medical jargon and read medical papers. But the HN audience probably has a lot of folks that are down to do that, and I strongly recommend UpToDate for those that do. I use almost every time I have a substantial new issue that requires a physician visit.
All UK specific -

In addition to the hardware cost, which was extremely high (and being in the UK meant it was substantially higher than the US), but software costs were high too.

Before cheap subscription software, which is so bemoaned nowadays, all the software packages were 10x the cost, and still required repurchasing every year or two. Technically your older copy of Office, Photoshop, etc would still work fine, but you couldn't share documents with people with newer versions, as anything they saved you couldn't open. Those packages were hundreds of pounds each. Piracy was the only way as a teen to be able to actually get any software, I couldn't afford anything, even if I wanted to pay for it. A decent image editor can be had for $5 a month from the App Store now. Office is $10 for the whole family, and includes more storage than every drive I owned for the first 15 years I owned computers.

Even OS upgrades were all expensive. Even up until the early MacOS X versions it cost $129 a year for each version. Dropping it to $29 was a big deal for Snow Leopard, which was 2009.

And back in the late 90s/early 2000s download speeds were so bad that it was easier to pay for linux CDs too. I paid for the big boxed copies of SuSE 6.4 and 7, for example, just to get a good CD with all the packages on it.

Somewhere in that period I also remember when dial-up internet providers started to convert to providing free-phone 0800 (800 numbers in the US), if you paid for an account, and convincing my parents to pay for it, so that we wouldn't be billed by the minute any more. Before that a lot of providers just had toll numbers, so there was no monthly bill, we paid through the phone-line.

Finally I got ADSL in college, and at 8Mbps it was the fastest available in the UK from a tiny, niche ISP, which was effectively a pyramid scheme trying to get enough business through very under-cost, but high speed internet. They went bust after a couple of years, but it was amazing to move from dial-up to >1Mbps speeds.

There was no such plan, there was the pillaging of Russia. Something so blatant even the small amounts of US capital used to facilitate it were stolen by Andrei Shleifer and the rest of the Harvard Board:
