Knowing that my resting body temp was permanently 36.8-36.9 while everyone elses (on the same thermometer) was 36.6 was one of the things that led me realise something was wrong and in fact it turned out I had an autoimmune.
Of course the temperature fluctuates with activity and with the time of the day but an auxiliary reading of 36.6 has been what I've always observed for myself and others. After all we all run the same biochemical processes that are optimal at this temp.

As a side note, I hate digital contact thermometers with passion. Mercury is dangerous as hell but if it wasn't for gallium alloy ones I'd smuggle them in the country.
I know a guy that started nursing school in his late 60s after retiring. He has now worked as a nurse for more than 10 years and is loving it. It’s never too late to start a second (or third) career.

My father is in his mid 70s and has been boarded in pathology and emergency medicine for most of his adult life. Recently he decided to get boarded in genetic medicine and start a new medical career.

China became increasingly aggressive after the 2008 Olympics, and that accelerated in 2012 when Xi Jinping became president. Before 2008, the feeling in china (among expats and Chinese returnees) was that it would gradually liberalize more, rather than go in the opposite direction like they actually did. No one is making that mistake now.

‘Plant based’ initially meant vegan, but vegan is a dirty word for some people, likely because a lot of the early vegan meat alternatives were ghastly. As a vegan, I see a lot of labels boasting ‘plant-based’ but no mention of it being vegan or not, often not even on their website. That alone means I will not purchase. It’s either not vegan OR they’re scared to put that 5 letter word on their product.

Market it as plant-based all you want but mention if it’s vegan or not somewhere, even on your website.
Interestingly, this does not seem to apply to you if you just HODL and never sell. Also, it's not exactly clear if "fake bitcoin" that some companies offer - where you buy "something" that tracks, say, BTC but there's no real BTC behind it, you can not take custody of any BTC and the only thing you can do is to exchange it back for dollars - qualify as "digital assets". They are certainly not recorded on chain, for example.
> Targeting all three can be tough, hence WebGPU which lets you write to a single API.

And which doesn't exist (except behind a flag, will probably ship in Chrome 113). And the spec already has over 1500 issues (over 300 still open).

So... It's not "targeting three graphics APIs is tough, target just WebGPU". It's "here's a third incompatible graphics API for the web (after Canvas and WebGL), and people may expect you to also support it an addition to non-web APIs"
> I think you interpret "growth" in a narrow framework of your perspective.

I'd say the same for your premise. Your framework was "growth == better", I tried to demonstrate why that is not adequate, and in certain cases harmful.

> They deteriorate without it, like a tree without enough water and sun

And anyone with house plants know that too much of any is equally deadly as too little.

> why it's mutually exclusive with growth (in any sense).

Simple opportunity cost. An elderly doing a cultural transfer of skills, perspectives and knowledge to their grandkids, neighborhood, junior professionals etc vs. doing their own personal growth things. Don't get me wrong, in this case maybe getting a master's in AI and combining all that with their existing competencies and then doing a culture transfer could be the optimal choice here, but the time and energy cost of the activities pursued has to occupy disparate spaces either way.

So no, personal growth at all costs is not the most optimal thing at all times.
As a 65 year old, I might argue that my mental faculties have changed, not necessarily lessened. I can't juggle 5 mental balls anymore, but I just write down what I need which is probably better.

I play poker with some 90 year old's, and they are damn sharp. Some people get dimmer with age, many continue to shine.

Getting a degree is a more traditional route, which older people tend to pursue. But he might be doing it for show partly since he is a politician.
I saw it mentioned offhand recently in a way that indicated it was an Omicron (BN.5? BA.3?), but don't know where that strain ID came from. I would assume 1.4B new hosts provides plenty of possibilities for the virus to explore the space of possible mutations, and a new variant is thus pretty much inevitable.

Edit: apparently there are 50 or so strains that have been identified in China and no detailed data is coming out right now.

And that's just conscious learning. The automated/subconscious patterning stuff has been very interesting to me.

We have known for a long time that various stuff will be learned by you whether you prefer it or not, depending on your past and barely mitigated by even a generally conscious developmental bent.

If you can move it into the conscious zone you can control future outcomes to some extent and possibly control the upside and downside factors through a process of reconciliation.

And as a general developing body / organism, we are all experiencing this together as well, with even less conscious control. Species as individual with separate personality characteristics.
When I was the common age to go to college I didn’t want anything to do with school. It worked out and I’ve worked as an engineer at several FAANG and the like. However, what I wouldn’t give to have the freedom and lack of responsibilities to be able to go to college now. Not for the parties, I did plenty of that and it’s completely out of my system. I’m jealous of being able to dedicate the majority of the time studying stuff that interests me. It’s such a small window where I get to do it these days.

From what I have witnessed, it could be made more fair by simply punishing fraud by taking away the number of applications a company can apply for, and by issuing 10 year bans to candidates found to be lying. There is so much lying about credentials and job experience in these situations.

That will reduce the amount of fraudulent applications, making way for more honest (and higher quality) applicants.
Wolf warrior, wumao, and so on are all terms that were invented and used by the Chinese, they aren’t western inventions. Censorship in china means that they are stamped out pretty quickly, but do not doubt the ingenuity (and subversion) of the Chinese internet community in inventing and defining the terms that the west then uses to talk about china.

BTW, since you use the term MSM, I assume you are a Trump supporter, since that is a favorite term of the Trump crowd. I’ve never heard anyone else use that word before, at any rate.

Regarding the Third point, I can already see part of this movement.

I've become disenchanted with the quality of the discourse. Specifically as I've entered a more senior stage of my career, I'm looking to mingle with like-minded folks in similar situations.

Thing is, these folks don't usually lurk online, and even if they do, their voices get overwhelmed by the flood of (mostly low quality) content. I'd be happy to pay a fee to become a member of a community with vetted participants.
>"why are we spending millions and millions on a library in the digital age?"

Because the less well off may not have enough devices or internet access to do things digitally. It's also good if you have young kids. You can't read that book which has different textures for all the animals digitally.
Which is why, I guess, people decide to do wierd things like getting a degree at 72? :)
> Part of that I think is certainly as you suggest, that the brain is a muscle, you need to use it to keep it fit.

My claim, which admittedly is hard to substantiate, is that growth (a general term) will offset aging to a much greater degree than people imagine. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if psychological and physiological aging of the brain is mostly due to lack of growth.

> To keep the muscle analogy, you won’t compete as an athlete at 72 no matter how fit you remain.

I think the muscle analogy can be a useful one, but that it misleads here: Muscles start deteriorating at age 20 or 25; our brains do not on balance (they do in some ways, and improve in others). Peak mental performance is, IIRC, in our 40s and 50s.
Since we understood that it is the individual gene that is the unit of selection. Even Wikipedia reads: "The vast majority of behavioural biologists have not been convinced by renewed attempts to revisit group selection as a plausible mechanism of evolution."

>What's wrong with retiring and living out your last years peacefully relaxing with your hobbies and family?

in reality it's a lot less enticing than it sounds. Younger family tends to move on with their own life, and spouses and older relatives tend to die once you get old.

Working in older age gives you a wide social circle, stimulation and purpose that is desperately needed if you want to stay healthy and especially mentally fit. I've seen it so often that as soon as people retire they decline like crazy. Hobbies don't sustain anyone.

Even the mentality of "my last days" already sounds like you're clocking out. Every day might be your last day, even when you're not old.

I’d suggest perhaps finding a more senior colleague that can work through a few questions with you just to try and identify where your problem seems to be.

However I’d suggest that being able to write and analyse algorithms is more than mindless tick boxing — it is essential to backend beyond plumbing, so I personally think it’s an investment.

Thanks for the explanation. Interesting link too.
> Time spent fully engrossed in a subject, where the learner is able to put away their ego and learn as a child would, is what is conducive to good learning. That can happen at any age, but in practice, seldom does due to the demanding structure of adult life.

That's what I'm talking about, but don't blame some external force for that outcome. It's a choice; it's about priorities. If you give yourself time for a little growth, I think you'll net much greater productivity overall - including emotional presence for your family.
Sorry about your parents... I wouldn't want wish anyone to lose them early. I also understand that genetics sometimes are an unescapeable force.

On the bright side however, life expectancy is growing worldwide. In Spain, where I live, average expectancy before Covid peaked at 84 years old. In the US it was 79. The difference is irrelevant to my point (I have no clue what the cause is); the fact is in both cases the stat has grwon explosively in the last 50 years [1] [2]

Likewise there is dramatic progress being made against cancer [3] and other deadly diseases.

Down to everyday life, I am constantly amazed by what some 70 year olds look like nowadays.

I don't lead a perfect lifestyle, but the idea of being able to get a degree on a complex topic like AI in the 70's definitely inspires me to at least try and tilt the odds in my favor to get to that age in good standing. The amount of information and inexpensive tools at our disposal today is staggering.

Indeed. The West's constituents on average are the least in-group preferential, and incorrectly assume that non-Westerners are the same.

And they assume that non-Westerners value the same civilizational values like Truth over (Social) Face, Truth over Harmony, etc. as much as they do.

Ironically, those not from the West, let's say a developing African country, will appreciate the West's (relatively) high trust (Japan would be moreso) and less clannish (more meritocratic) nature for doing business and growing wealth in a whole lot more than almost anyone born in the West (who take deep social values as a given for all humans. which is just them optimistically projecting, it's not ill-willed).

On Windows you're better of using DirectX since its tge only officially supported API. Xbox only supports DirectX.

Playstation only has its own graphics API.

Switch nominally has support for Vulkan, but they have their own graphics API.

<Playing devil's advocate>

Consider this classic XKCD: https://xkcd.com/810/

There are 2 possibilities: The AI can comment as well as a human, or it can't.

If it can comment as well as a human, our experience of using social networks will not be degraded. We still get the same experience as before.

If it can't, then its contributions won't get as many likes/upvotes, and they won't be particularly prominent. Most content users see will be human-created.

So I think the key question is whether AI will be able to manipulate the liking and voting systems. But there are methods for preventing this: ignore votes from accounts created after ChatGPT's release, or for a site like Twitter with paid accounts, ignore votes from unpaid accounts. It's not even clear what ChatGPT adds beyond a human voting ring, and social networks presumably have lots of experience dealing with voting rings already.

Women with natural menstrual cycles have a 0.2-0.5 °C higher body temperature after their ovulation because of the higher progesterone level in their blood. They literally don’t have a single "correct" body temperature.

It’s not mentioned in the article, which I find odd, because it tells you something about averaging statistics and male body bias in science.
Right, though the difference (IMO) is between such long running threads, and 'X' interactions which are composed of many much shorter threads. ChatGPT is optimized for short attention spans, and those with the shortest attention spans are likely the most impressed, while those with much longer attention spans, which not coincidentally often correlate to more sophisticated -for lack of a better word- use of language in the form of much more complex (potentially prolix) linguistic constructions, to express a perspective that has more in common with Proust (both in terms of his prose style, and also his famous account of the madeleine, often understood to be about the lost time of memory, but inseparable from attention itself) than the fragmented discourses presented by modern social media, may find this robotic dog and pony show to be somewhat less interesting, albeit obviously useful as a tool in certain contexts.

There is more than twice spam as there is legitimate email (source: ran a corporate email server). However, so far most spam is automatically detected.

In the near future, It's likely that this is no longer going to be the case and in the moment that most of your email is spam you are going to stop trusting everything you receive.

Even right now inside corps people already (should?) distrust and double checks everything that comes from another domain.
When I attended a California UC and CSU university, I met some seniors who were getting a engineering degree just for fun. At that time I think California seniors could attend courses with no tuition. This was all 20-30 year ago. I think that is still true for the CSU system but not sure about UC system.

I had some interesting conversation with some individuals. One used to work for engineers in the Navy and wanted to understand more of what they did. Another was involved in some early work on lithium battery technologies and wanted to understand software engineering.

They are actually more expensive, which is why they do two things to fool their customers:

1. On their flight search page, it shows the prices on a per-leg basis. Every other airline shows round trip prices. That way, the initial result on Southwest looks great and it’s only when you get to the final payment page that you realize it’s actually twice as expensive as you thought.

2. They refuse to share their data with any of the third party flight search engines like Google Flights or Expedia. Again, so people don’t realize how expensive they actually are.
