If a near-perfect repair capability were available, I can't see that it would be very costly to the body to, for instance, use it on stem cells, progenitor cells, any -blast sufficiently up the hierarchy. I can't see it being all that energy intensive. It seems to me that DNA manipulation is relatively efficient, double-stranded break repairs via homologous recombination or NHEJ is in every cell. Bread and butter for your skin cells.
And surely the energy consumption of all the turnover in epidermal cells alone would vastly overshadows the hypothetical cost of DNA repair in -blasts? We further spend serious amounts of energy on the immune system, on the brain, on all sorts of things, and we have good energy regulation mechanisms. Compared to all the things the body already does, spending energy on DNA repair seems like an excellent trade, when not actively underfed.

I'm also suspicious of the argument that individuals living longer would be a detriment. DNA repair would not just cause longer life in the sense of very old people sticking around longer. It'd mean individuals living healthier lives for longer, so that they may still contribute to society, take care of grandkids, etc. Raising children is a big cost. If people lived longer healthy lives, arguably they could afford to have kids later if they chose to, which I imagine would save resources (e.g. by having a smaller percentage of life being spent in infancy and growth), potentially increasing fitness?

A different argument still is that the body seems to have evolved many mechanisms to prevent cancer and to fight it when it happens. It seems that there has been selection pressure in the direction against DNA damage being a cause of death.
If there were fitness in making people live shorter lives, I'd expect the body to try to do this not by letting DNA damage accumulate, but by trying to keep people as healthy as possible during their life, then separately using a programmed end-of-life to enforce a limit. I can't find the reason why this would be significantly hard for evolution to come up with, aside from the pristine DNA repair mechanism actually existing as described, which I don't think is really the case, no?
I'm imagining something far less obviously threatening (balloon rather than a destroyer) and far less explicitly damaging (maybe a liquid or gas that would mix with the missile impact, and rain down barely noticeable granular substance that, oops, contaminates farm land).

I can appreciate this is quite far fetched given that the material would need to drop such a distance rather than completely disperse with wind, and not be super obvious about it (e.g., pellets).
Yep! It was a total game changer for me.
I spent a good few months building a system for fun/interest. Darwinex has an interesting business model - check it out - but it shows leaderboards of supposed profit-generating trading systems.

Thing is, one will be hard pressed to find solid, relevant, detailed and current information about legitimately profitable trading strategy. Once a strategy becomes widely used, the 'market inefficiencies' being exploited cease to be readily available, so there is a strong incentive to keep a good strategy private. I vaguely remember reading about HFT firms obscuring their trading activity for this reason. Additionally you will find the online world absolutely saturated with the grifter types. So good info is hard to come by. Be prepared to learn at least the fundamentals of both trading and statistics, do lots of testing, and basically figure it out on your own because nobody successful (and smart) is sharing their reliable, profitable strategies (that doesn't mean you can't learn from them - just don't copy paste).

It is a very interesting domain though and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about it all and building mine.

The article isn't about discretionary trading. It's about algorithmic trading, which is a bit like the word 'hacking' in that it means one thing to practitioners and another to the general public.

To practitioners it refers to the use of algorithms to trade large quantities of stocks or futures or whatever. The goal is to reduce trading costs by executing small trades at the right time. This is distinct from and rather more common than quant trading where an algorithm actually decides what bet to make.
They should demonstrate it in the Ukraine.
A related "math truism" is that the Taylor expansion of the exponential function is e^x = 1 + x + x^2 / 2 ...

This means that, if a process like skill development is growing exponentially, then when zoomed in at very small times (e.g. daily), growth looks flat.

But if looked at longer times, it starts to look linearly increasing.

Then finally when looked upon after many years, things look exponential.

It's also related to the quote that people overestimate progress in the short-term but underestimate it in the long-term.

> When a good investment opportunity arises, one that outpaces the deflation, it will still be worth investing. You just have to be wiser about investments.

> if the deflationary currency makes more money than holding on to a house, houses as investments make no sense anymore.

These can't both hold at the same time. Either the currency deflates faster than investments, in which case investment funding dries up, or it deflates slower than housing, in which case it doesn't help the cost-of-housing problem.

(As bad as the housing market is, concluding that it would be a good idea to make access to money work the same way is pretty backwards IMO; rather the right conclusion is that we need to legalise building homes).

To be clear, the issue was with a 3rd party provider that we use to send our newsletter. None of our own systems or customer accounts where breached. I sent a follow up email to all users that were affected. The domains linked in the original phishing emails were also disabled. I apologize for this issue and to anyone it may have affected. We have also taken immediate steps to insure it will not happen again.
And then you can still use SyncThing[0] to share things. Depending on what you're doing of course, and how friendly the applications you use for it are to being used that way.. but if it's all in the browser and email profiles and a bunch of data files, you're golden. Getting used to that "lifestyle" has been the biggest leap in joy of using computers since SSD, for me personally.

[0] And/or FreeFileSync or similar for manual operation: I don't want e.g. browser profile data to be synced while the browser is in use, and running the sync manually is no biggie at all.
I would imagine that if these are small and hard to detect, you may not want everyone to understand the exact extent of your capability to detect them.

So my thoughts:

1. Are we just seeing more of these things now, due to the US broadening the scope of their radar filtering, and there were always this number of things floating around and now they're just more aware of them?

2. Has something changed in the upper atmosphere/jet stream that's catching balloons that would have previously blown elsewhere, and are now going over the US by accident?

3. Is some really big budget scifi coming out soon, and some marketing team thought that after the chinese balloon thing, launching a ton of cheap weather balloons painted silver would be a cool guerrilla marketing campaign for it?
> What I will say is that from what I hear this sort of under-leveling is pretty normal and just how it is. Maybe it’s better now, I don’t know.

I was offered a position with G after I left a previous employer. I also felt that I was underleveled and expressed this, then declined the offer.

This earned me a call from the SVP I would have been reporting to. The general philosophy they related to me was that G likes to see people perform _at Google_ and that leveling up is very easy, so if you're good, being underleveled isn't a problem because it will correct itself.

"If it's so easy and you're impressed with my track record and believe it qualifies me for the role, as you said before, you should be convinced I'm at the level you mentioned." They hemmed and hawed and bit and said they would see what they could do. Eight (!) months later, long after I'd already accepted another role and told them about it, they got back to me with the higher level.
>Wow that's the most blatantly misleading chart I've seen out of these types of outfits in a long time!

>I'm sorry this is kind of long, but I really had to make sure I wasn't missing something with how obvious there were about it.

>The complaint people have is that they're not matching up hardware realistically... so they take a ~$350 Intel CPU and pit it against a ~$250 AMD CPU, instead of the ~$350 AMD sibling it launched alongside of to artificially induce a larger gap!

I'm assuming the "chart" in question is the one shown at https://youtu.be/Zy3w-VZyoiM?t=278. The point of comparing the $250 amd cpu against the $350 intel cpu isn't to claim that they're in the same market segment, it's to point out that if benchmarked CPUs using "reasonable" GPU parings, you'll see little to no difference between high end and mid end CPUs. Now, you might argue that benchmarking this way is misleading because in reality, you'll never see the performance differential and therefore would waste money by buying the high end CPU. However, the CPUs are actually faster. Benchmarking them in such a way that their actual performance doesn't show because they're limited by some external factor would also be misleading. It'd be like putting out a benchmark between a sports car and an econobox and concluding that they're within 5% (or whatever) of each other in terms of "performance" because the speed limit is 60mph, so they both get you to your destination in around the same amount of time.

Actually this morning I was thinking about the inaugural and hopefully successful flight of Starship maybe next month. While it is meant to demonstrate capability to orbit, it won't complete it and is intended to crash land off the coast of Hawaii. I think it will be passing over China to achieve that. Maybe they would like interpret it as effectively an ICBM test - and by allowing these balloons to be shot down gives them some sort of tit-for-tat justification to bring down Starship earlier than Elon (and NASA, FAA, etc) would like. (Some sort of MAD muscle flexing)

The web has more or less always been shitty, but it has always been cheap, and for a while it was also lightning fast. Now, it's still cheap, the quality is probably a bit worse than before, and because of bloat it is also kind of slow, but not as slow as it was in the ancient times.

You're basically just describing all the pain with pulling in a dependency regardless of monorepo or not.

I think everything that came after man pages lead to the deprecation of man pages. info, Usenet, forums, Google, Stack Overflow..anything but man pages.
That's the grey area I'm talking about though. If China sends a missile into the US, it's shot down, but there is collateral damage, Americans will overwhelmingly consider China responsible. If a Chinese airline flies a regular route and is abruptly shot down, and the plane crashes into a populated area, Americans would hopefully consider their own government responsible.

The grey area I'm musing about is in the middle, and how some portion of the public might be sympathetic, how this might be destabilising, and what avenues the agitator might explore.

Yes, this seems like a common misconception with the AGPL. You can embed AGPL things within your stack and not have to open source the things that interact with it (or the software/scripts that is used to deploy it, another common misconception).

If you're trying to use the AGPL to prevent folks from monetizing your shit or to get them to pay you for using it, you're using the wrong license.

Interesting that in these all comments, nobody referred to the (un)reality of the creation of proofs. The fact that the proof has to be longer than a program - ignored completely 40 years ago - undermines the generality of the "purely scientific" approach marketed by Dijkstra. While his critics of software business are fundamentally sound - today even more than in the '80s - his idealistic view of programming as scientific activity and negation of the importance of (to not say contempt to) software engineering weakens his message even if we keep in mind the creation date of his philippic.

I'm not sure how astonishing it is. Most of my life daily existence feels like it's on rails. I think I may have learned this when I was still in my teens: I remember how it seemed fairly easy to "read people's minds" (in a sort of way) — predicting how their thought process would follow from one idea to the next. It was remarkable to me how often I was correct in guessing this.

I've been fairly unimpressed with my own mental machinations ever since.
No problem. It's not necessarily your fault -- you have to be careful what you read, because a lot of people seem to have very strongly held opinions about the AGPL that are based on hearsay, not on what the license actually says.
