Both. If you take 900 reasonably skilled people and direct them towards nonsense for a few years, that is definite value lost to society. It sounds like $1 billion in actual cash was lost this way. And the buildings they were in could have housed useful activity, the computers they bought could have done useful things, etc.

Those people could have been doing useful things. And it sounds like their activities were worse than nonsense, they actually destroyed money they were given.
If anything, it seems it would be easier to monitor lab-grown meats for chemical byproducts of harmful microorganisms.

I'm sure that's what it is.
"He better not make it tomorrow. Or I will blame u" to encourage a nurse to overdose a patient to hit 6mo life expectancy quotas (from the article). This is disgusting.

Is there any fundamental reason the industry is so sketchy? Or just that it's a bit obscure (for young people who might start a business) and highly regulated, so little competition?

Seems like "ripe for disruption" might actually be a good thing here.

This kind of business really should be operated at a reasonable margin (20%?) by ethical, professional, competent operators. Not sure how to get that outcome quickly, but hope it can be solved before my family gets there.
Yes sorry, I should have been more precise.

Of course you need the function body to actually do comptime evaluation.
Cows have an immune system, labs don't.

That's a pretty big problem with lab-grown meat. Bacteria are much better at reproducing quickly than cells of complex organisms like animals. So if your reactor is not perfectly clean, you are going to grow bacteria instead of meat. The reason live animals (including us) don't get overwhelmed by bacteria is because they have all sorts of defenses, most importantly, an immune system.

Unless labs have something equivalent in, they will have to be under extreme scrutiny.
My understand is the meatless substitutes are chock full of these additives to try to nail the flavor. I’m sure lab grown protein product will need the same treatment.

IMO it’s a nutritional sacrifice in order to avoid eating animal product, not a particularly “healthy” alternative.
I don't see how cancer cells of a different species could be harmful.
Fortune favors the bold! I'm sure you will do well.
Elon Musk: “Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter.”
Can you explain the significance of your statement?

Surely the meat we all eat is dead along with the immune system and then cooked.
Why has Apple stopped, do you think?
Why is it a virtue to make things hard? The analogy of "if you truly want to learn programming, you have to do it with punch cards" feels apt.

Instant feedback is good for learning. I sometimes feel that old-school photographers are just kinda bitter that it's a lot easier to take competent photos today than it was 20 years ago, and think it's not real unless you're carrying a light meter around.
Not being exposed to air, for one. That's why it's safe to eat a rare steak (where the surfaces exposed to air are cooked to kill bacteria) and why it's not safe to eat rare hamburger (where all the meat has been exposed to air through grinding the meat).

There is few type of PEX fitting systems. I agree the hose clamp style doesn't inspire confidence at all.

I have replaced almost all piping in my house. I used PEX-B with the fittings secured by copper rings that you crimp with the appropriate tool. It is so easy to use and confirm the joint with a gauge tool.

I had to solder copper where I couldn't replace it all. Every copper joint was it's own little project. While for PEX it's quick and easy.
Since the URLs are just a function of the date, it should be easy to automate this with something like cron or iOS shortcuts, and have it send an email or similar with the URL to you each day. You can auto-filter the emails into a specific folder, so you have one email folder per „subscription“. That way you can see if/how many are unread.
Executing the program with that input is the key term. The program can't "take back" observable effects that happen before the input is completely read, and it can't know before reading it whether the input will be one that results in an execution with UB. This is a consequence of basic causality. (If physical time travel were possible, then perhaps your point would be valid.)
Moderation, customer support, sales, and then everyone to support all those people.

You don't think that matters, but it has a real impact on your bottom line. Companies are stopping advertising now, not because Musk took over, but because they can't support for advertising (probably because they were sacked).

It was one of the worlds largest social media platforms!

Couple that with the reality that Twitter needs at LEAST twice as many people to function than it currently has, even after Musk sent everyone packing. How do I know this? Because the remaining people need to work at least twice as much to make up for the people that left.

And this of course ignores all the things that have failed since he took over. The current people are NOT keeping Twitter at 100%. It's already failing.
Well there’s a little bit more to it. There is a type involved, and then there’s pointer arithmetic.
Notes on Programming in C – Rob Pike Style (1989)
A script-based modeling/CAD program like OpenSCAD but supports more modern programming techniques and also lets you manipulate and label surfaces, edges, and vertexes (like Blender). This way you could create a `cube([10,10,10])` then apply a bevel to all or any edge of that cube.

Furthermore, it should also let you assign metadata like materials to objects so that you can do accurate physics simulations. For example, if I make an object and set its material type to "spring_steel" I could then run a physics simulation where I get to see how much force is required to make it bend (e.g. while being inserted into something else). It would also be nice if you could just manually set the flexural modulus, fatigue index, etc to any given material for the same purpose.

Any manipulation via the GUI would automatically update the script/code and vice versa. It would be the ultimate parametric CAD tool.
I didn't use anything that was not obviously neeeded. What you say about previous frames was also my guess, but that doesn't seem a reasonable behaviour to me.

If ffmpeg needs more information, it should take it. That's what the logic in the parameters say. Instead of that it forces me to include some seconds that I don't want in the clip or blackening the video, both of them useless results.
Open-source tensor search engine
I think windows 95/98 era was the peak of UI discoverability. As a kid, I and my friends could learn and explore how a program worked just by expanding all the menus and opening the various dialogs. Dialogs which were filled with fields and their descriptions! Before then, it was the world of DOS and you had to know what you were doing ahead of time. And now, UIs are dynamic, initially hiding stuff from the user and at worst provide zero indication of what functionality is available. I once used a phone app for months not knowing there was an extra screen you could open by sliding right on the main UI page. I only found it by accident one day, because there were no hints in the UI..
Nice project, but I prefer to interact with boardgames using simple 2d interfaces and (most important) rules-enforcing.

A buddy of mine had his phone SIM-hacked and his coinbase account drained. He was on the phone with coinbase trying to stop it while it was happening, and said they were beyond useless.

Criminals have lists of everyone with crypto on coinbase. They're cross-referencing this list with people with T-Mobile (usually), then pulling off SIM-hacks by buying off a store manager, or just grabbing the manager's laptop and running out of the store with it. At that point they have 10-15 minutes to take over as many SIMs as they can.

Capsaicin receptors also get “used up” over periods of long exposure, so you become less sensitive to the sensation. It sounds like you’ve been exposed to it your whole life, so have simply adjusted to it.

If you abstained for an extended period of time (6 months?) that Diablo pizza would probably blow your head off.
> Oceanic+ enables recreational scuba divers to take the watch they wear every day to previously unreachable depths — up to 40 meters, or 130 feet, to be exact

Cool, I wasn't familiar with libvolk. It seems to be a collection of prewritten kernels, so it only helps if the function you want to write is among them.

github.com/google/highway seems to be closer to what is requested here. It provides around 200 portable intrinsics using which you can write a wide variety of functions (only a single implementation required). Disclosure: I am the main author.
This could be taken to support my point. There is a MASSIVE amount of literature on the internet about how to do this, and it's reasonably straightforward to see what is happening with the DOM when you use these frameworks. Likewise, a novice developer can create something that causes scrolling to stutter or other performance problems pretty easily in this world.

Take on the other hand, some of SwiftUI's more advanced features, like PreferenceKey which are extremely under-documented (the generic sounding name doesn't help either). Of course folks are going to struggle to do more complex things.

I wonder how much the situation would be helped if the thing you searched for help allowed in-line SwiftUI examples, like you can do on the web. Playgrounds is kind of that thing but you aren't searching a repository of playgrounds for documentation.
I am arguing against their appeal. Censorship, decentralization, freedom to chose who you trust, etc. It’s the same appeal crypto uses to deceive inexperienced people into believing that these things are really relevant to their life. It’s manipulative.

Personally I think these aspects are important and will probably play a bigger part in the future. But censorship is not why I think we should open up such a huge risk surface on iOS.

A consumer-friendly, packaged solution for self-hosted everything.

Benefit: Ability to evict spying corporations from your life.

How it would appear to the end user: You buy a packaged device (like a RPi in form factor and openness) from Wal-mart and plug it in. Set up the wifi (or wired) internet access, and it operates as your personal gateway. Need more storage? Plug in an additional USB drive. For convenience in this description, call it a "Home Hub" (probably already used by some product... not affiliated).

Possibilities (1): You can have a Home Hub. Your parents can have a Home Hub. Your friend has a Home Hub. Your Home Hubs could act as an encrypted, distributed backup for each other (similar in idea to Raid 6?). If yours goes down, you can reconstitute the contents from your trusted backup pool (parent's and friend's devices). They have the same benefit, too. The more backup space that you offer to others, the more backup space you have available.

Possibilities (2): Your phone. All pictures, contacts, messages, and other misc data could be backed up on and accessible by this system. Communication could use this system for calls, text, mail, etc., rather than the phone company. End-to-end encryption through the interconnections of Home Hub devices. (E.g., your phone -> your Home Hub -> your friend's Home Hub -> your friend's phone.)

Possibilities (3): No need for G4e Drive, G4e Docs, M7t Office 365, Ae3 Cloud, etc. (Yes, I know that there is currently NextCloud and similar, but it appears to be a stand-alone solution, as opposed to a plugin to this larger ecosystem that I am proposing.) This system could host your own, available from anywhere.

Possibilities (4): Track your device's location (or your child's location) without needing to share that information with a 3rd party.

Possibilities (5): No more email. Replace with communications through Home Hub. It's almost impossible to run your own email server these days because the big providers reject any email not sent through the big providers. It will be impossible to bring in another standard, however, unless it is absolutely simple for the average user to use. I can think of several ways of supporting the common email use cases while also prohibiting spam.

Possibilities (6): Yes, corporations and governments can use this system, too. But they will be constrained by the protections designed into the system. For example, a corporation could sell backup space (mentioned in #1) as a service, but because the information is encrypted (and Raid-striped?), they cannot know what is contained in the data.

Possibilities (7): Social media could be built on this as well. I know about Mastadon, but it solves a different problem than my proposal.

In short, we need a dead-simple widget that anyone can buy, plug-in, and connect to the Internet, and that can act as their way forcibly extract spying companies from their life. (Of course, associated mobile software would have to be created, etc.)
When I've had to explain it, I describe memory as a street with house numbers (which are memory addresses).

A house can store either people, or another house number (for some other address).

If you use a person as a house number, it will inflict grievous harm upon that person. If you use a house number as a person, it will blow up some random houses. Very little in the language stops you from doing this, so you have to be careful not to confuse them.

Then I describe what an MMU does with a TLB, at which point the eyes glaze over.

> Unbelievable the amount of destruction of value here... it's just total carnage.

I don't see any other replies hypothesizing this in terms that rhyme with the dot com "bust" of 2000.

In late 90s, in addition to whatever product-market-fit from their "blue ocean strategies", the dot coms generally invested in and bought services from each other.

Wall St didn't look at where the dollars came from or went to the second or third step, they treated every company as if its revenue came from the customer marketplace.

Instead, a given VC dollar (or customer dollar) would get spent from that tech firm to its providers, who would give it to their providers, and then their providers, in turn. This way, the same single dollar would show up across a dozen balance sheets, each at 14x growing to 40x and eventually 100x multiples. So the 1 dollar instead of being, say, $40 of "value" for the one firm that got the dollar in from outside the ecosystem, that dollar would show up 12 x 40x or $480 of imagined uncorrelated "value".

By 1999, the public companies had caught on to where they could just give cash from public markets to dot com providers to turn around and purchase the public company's goods or services at a discount (
"strategic relationships"), with their own dollars then driving a 40x - 100x market value boost, generating more public dollars they could use to create more "customers".

Even if all these companies had legitimate products, when you looked under the hood, relatively few dollars were coming in from outside the private and public markets revenue multiple game. If some of these folks misstepped, and folks started having to unwind expected revenues, and in turn unwind their own spend, and letting the air out happens faster than they can keep their footing .... boom, you have a bust.

Today there are multiple sites tracing the actual flow of digital "currency" and seeing the same loops happening, where every agent in the loop is nominally valued as if generating revenue from outside, when instead, they're lock step in a circular flow.

Any interruption and ... dot com Y2K 2.0.

So less value destruction, more a glitch in the illusion big enough for non-experts to notice absence of outside value.
No one really wants to have an immersive experience watching Grandpa hold up a fish. Also, most people can take a decent still picture, while impromptu videos require much more dexterity.

Finally, there is nothing worse than showing someone a cherished video and watching their eyes glaze over because it isn't paced like a Tiktok video. In this case, a picture does a much better job.
Too bad they didn't read these notes before gutting the taskbar in Win11. It's so unusable, so slow when you can't "ungroup" stuff. Made me actually reinstall and go back to Win10.
a dive computer is more of a "nice to have" then a necessity. You can calculate everything you need to know after the fact, if you have a good idea of your average depth and downtime.

If you're a casual diver (i.e. two dives a day on vacation, maybe a night dive here and there) you don't need a computer at all

We have such a poor understanding of nutrition as it applies to health I'm not too eager to call this the silver bullet that others claim it to be. Even Impossible Brands is smart enough not to claim it's products are a healthier alternative.
Enron was also public, so was Lehman Brothers. The idea that public companies can't game their numbers or commit fraud is provably false. Why anyone would have large sums of crypto (5 or 6 figures+) on an exchange is beyond me.
I mean, it is - you can put your cash under your mattress. But there is a reason you don't.
I'm talking about while you are growing the meat, whether it be in a natural system that is self-regulating and with an immune system, or in a vat where any contamination will spread rampantly. That's one of the biggest problems with lab-grown meat: if you make it at a scale that is economically feasible, the chance for contamination is so high that very few batches will make it through the process, and will have to be discarded instead.

It's really worse than you say the amount of ignorance it takes to store crypto in one of these institutions, when one of its motivating and zeitgeist driving features is that third parties are no longer the most secure method of storage.
I think it's silly to tell people what to do when you don't know what they're doing. For all you know, they could be generating code from a design tool that already does that static analysis.

What's nice about Ada is you have choices, and the ecosystem facilitates creating and using such tooling.
Hard pass. Let's see some long-term (10 years) test data first (e.g., how does it effect things like muscle growth/retention, fat growth/loss, cell function, cancer promotion/prevention etc).

I'd put this stuff on the same level as any mass-produced junk (HFCS, seed oils, etc) that has already been proven to be harmful to humans long-term as a cautious default.
Agreed, especially software work. If you want to "do good for the world" there are far easier and more direct ways of doing it...
If I had to opine, I would say an immune system would attack foreign antigens and anything that needs to be eliminated while the animal was alive so the meat would be… healthier?
> might be the only useful thing that is left

That's a good point. If nothing else, the stupid money caused more practical exploration of ZKP and other exotic math constructs than we'd seen in decades previously.

I'd like to see more "toy" exploration of this stuff as the money drains out. That's where interesting things are going to come from, for a while. Time for a zero-knowledge app to select lunch destinations, a dating matcher that doesn't leak before the reveal, secret agent spy communicators for kids...
> Except as an application author I can't rely on it being there.

I'm surprised to keep hearing this concern. We can write code once in a vector-length agnostic way, compile it for multiple targets, and use whatever is there at runtime.
BCH is just kicking the can down the road a bit further. If it were to gain massive adoption rapidly, the only way it could scale if they follow their current ideology is by hosting the nodes on bigger and bigger server racks, eventually reaching the point where there is only one or two real nodes hosted in a cloud provider datacenter somewhere. I don't know what the perfect block size is, but quadrupling down on on block size and turning down all alternatives is not a good long term plan.
Matrix multiplication and similar is also one of the few operations where algorithms and special case instructions are interesting for floating point on a massive scale.

I.e adding two arrays together, computing dot products, those operations are just memory bound when the data grows, but matrix multiplication is dense enough with operations per element that it is limited by arithmetic operations too.
Am I ignorant or would it be hugely inefficient to grow meat in a lab energy wise?

I understand the whole methane issue but using up non renewable energy sources to make something that could be done with renewable resources seems a little silly unless the plan is to do this with renewables.

Or is this about the ethics of consuming meat?
Ironically, Rust does allow you to implicitly copy an array as long as it reduces to a memcpy

This is the core of the problem, and it's obviously not the Netherlands exclusively, it's a feature of modern agribusiness.

We've spend decades mostly optimizing for things that are not taste and nutrition, and it worked - often at the expense of those things.

A lot of this is on consumers of course. Voting with your wallets for bland but uniform-and-pretty has a knock on effect.
