Imagine global upheavals happening, such as a third world war, or a global plague, or a comet impact that resembles an apocalypse. Events that result in a loss of all or part of public control over these wastes.

What happens, then, if at some point in the centuries after, someone opens such a barrel containing the waste? A Goiânia [1], but no one will be there to clean up. Unsuspecting people will spread the radiation across the world.

Psyops work. That’s why they do them.
But still there's programs like Git as an existing example of this kind of "ask the user" thing. Last time I checked:

* When you run `git init` without having configured default branch name it warns you with a big wall of text.

* When you run `git commit` without having configured a user, it warns you with a big wall of text.

* When you run `git pull` without having configured the strategy, it warns you with a big wall of text.

As much as I want to give them the benefit of doubt, this really comes off as wanting to silently enable it by default, because they know that if they actually ask in a similar way that `git` does, the answer will be "no".
Yup, no worries.

Under the hood thunderbolt supports PCIe x4 Gen 3. Hence my previous question on if it was possible to bond 2 or 4 thunderbolt ports into a full PCIe x16 port, but that is definitely a bridge too far, lol.

You'd need political will for this, who do you think is willing to give this idea a shot/fund it? I'm betting it's the rich, and if you haven't already figured it out, they'd just create another engine of disparity, par for the course. Unlike space tourism, headtransplants scream out the final dystopia of Phillip K Dick's imaginings, a hell world that frays at it seams where you've inadvertently created rich ever-living ubermench, bound up in prolonging life to keep doing their consumption and extraction. Maybe we should invest in consciousness transplants while we're at it
Elm is like American politics. The most vocal people are divided as strongly as if they'd stabbed each other in the back. The majority people aren't vocal and just go about their day, sometimes using it and sometimes not.

My 2 cents. Don't use this place as a metric for whether or not something is successful or worth trying. 20 years ago this community would tell you not to use Ruby or Javascript, but today they'd call you an idiot for not using them.
Was it an intel CPU? My laptop also had issues with throttling, but it turns out that turbo boost was on, and the BIOS had no way to turn it off.

I wound up writing a cronjob that does "echo 1 > no_turbo" every minute... although it only really needs to be done once per boot, or every time you plug/unplug.
""no amount of cinnamon is safe for your health"".

This is the point I was making when I posted my earlier facetious point about life being fatal.

If we'd studied the effects of many other common day-to-day chemicals or foodstuffs that we take for granted in our lives to the extent we'd studied ethanol then we'd likely find them equally or even more dangerous.

Keep in mind we all produce small amounts of ethanol as the result of digestion, similarly so methanol which is far more dangerous than ethanol. These are a part of the life cycle whether we like it or not.

It would be much more helpful if WHO would accept the fact that all humans process small amounts of alcohol and likely always will and instead concentrate on minimizing the harmful consumption thereof.

PS: spare a thought for those comparatively rare but unfortunate individuals who fail breathalyzer tests when they've not been drinking because their gut microbes produce sufficient ethanol to trigger tests. Phrases like 'no amount' aren't helpful.
This is very uninteresting data to Google. They are interested in personal data that you can use to optimize targeted ads, not compiler cache miss counts from your local development workflow.

The reasoning for not making this opt-in are in the blog post and I find them reasonable.

If you think Search and Ads haven't changed, that's only because Google has done an amazing job at preserving a simple usable interface. It is different in many huge ways, and 100x as complex as it was. Google switched from manually tweaked parameters to ML for search ranking. Advertising has layers upon layers of optimization and auction.
Now imagine you have something that has the complexity and change volume of a distributed control plane bringing together load-balancing, service advertisement, public key infrastructure, and software defined networking, and then try to imagine running it at the same reliability as your DNS.

Also: proxies, proxies everywhere, as far as the eye can see.
Higher salary usually means higher spending, ie paying other people to work.

It seems to me that is much better than 'investing' aka buying ownership of people's work.

I mean, unless there's continual 'investment', someone has to actually pay for the work people do at some point, not just keep buying/paying for ownership of the work/profits they make.

One avenue that people tend to ignore is to look under the hood of code you already use. I've learned an immense amount from looking at the source code of open source packages I use, and seeing how the internal code is structured, what tradeoffs they make, etc.

I don’t begrudge the tech, but I have increasing disdain for VCs. If they’re not clueless and greedy (FTX backers are a prime example), they’re elitist and snobbish. There is very little room for founders who don’t have the right pedigree (ex-FAANG, Ivy school).

Ironically, of all the startups I’ve worked in/consulted, the most profitable ones (actual profits, not paper profits) were started by non-obvious founders without significant funding or credentials.

Tech funding is becoming a little like the old boys club where ex-FAANG/Ivy VCs fund other ex-FAANG/Ivy founders.
> beef with wine sauce, carrots in bourbon sauce, salad greens tossed with a champagne vinaigrette, and amaretto apple crisp.

these are all very different kinds of alcohol.

for example "beef with wine sauce" it's cooked using one small glass of wine (usually red) at around 10% (so not a good one to drink, typically more like 12% and up, but one specifically used for cooking) for 4 people.

One glass of wine at 10% contains ~10 grams of pure alcohol. Even if the dish retained 45% of it it would mean 4 grams of alcohol for 4 persons, while eating, which is a well known fact, considerably reduces the amount of alcohol absorbed and its potential dangers.

Even though based on my research cooking the meat for 2 hours, like you usually do for "beef with wine sauce" retains at max 5% of the alcohol.

So it's more like zero.

edit: I guess people are downvoting because in USA people are obsessed by the 12 steps or whatever they are called and cannot use moderation, they either drink to death or do not drink at all, because they are "clean" now and their body is a tremple.

So here it is the data

Meats and baked goods that are cooked for 25 minutes without being stirred retain 45 percent of alcohol. Stews and other dishes that simmer for two and one-half hours tend to have the lowest amounts, but they retain about five percent of the alcohol

Article is a little infuriating, you don’t jailbreak it just to create mischief, at the moment it’s basically unusable for anything except very technical things because it takes offense at virtually everything. It constantly generates factually incorrect data because reality doesn’t line up with its prime directive, which is to be “safe”. It’s a major, I’m going to say possibly catastrophic problem.

And after creating an alter ego you realize it actually is capable of coming up with for example (sort of) good poetry and jokes.
> Programming is a new discipline.

Maybe so, in a narrow sense of the word. But programming is a craft, and crafts have been around for a very long time, possibly for as old as homo sapiens (a definition of which is, the ability to make tools).

Programming is more like woodworking/cabinetmaking than "engineering".

Crafts used to be learned by hanging around masters for a long time ("companions" in France). It builds on experience much more than on theory.

So yes, mentoring is probably a good way to do the same.
The article is correct. Infection is the process of a virus entering a cell. Disease is the virus's cumulative effect on the body due to the infection.

Since the protein (LRRC15) mentioned in the article binds to the virus, making it impossible for the virus to infect the cells, it does indeed block infection.

Good question!

I thought of it but Hacker News posts are pure text, you can't add a single picture. The reading format is also not suitable for long form, and it makes the post text kinda grey which makes it even harder to read.

So, no. The community is great but it's not a blogging platform. I could self host my blog and post links here for discovery but self-promotion is generally frowned upon. I don't want to abuse the community.

Remember when we had trade press that was technically competent? It lasted until the mid 90s (which coincidentally was when the web went mainstream for this crowd).
They were clearly wrong I guess.

Until there's some logical component to the AI, it's just regurgitating whatever answers it was trained on, which are sometimes somebody spouting bs. How can it possibly be any different?
I don't agree. For one, I've done it myself, and you can have just as much fun, if not more without alcohol. Though when the crowd gets too pissed, I usually just move on or go home. I like to drink occasionally, though, but I often abstain because I don't like the day after effect. Second I know abstainers who regularly go out with peeps who drink, and they do just fine. It's ofc annoying the third time someone you clearly told that you don't drink still offers you a drink, but most drinkers are completely fine and respectful with it. So IMO it's wrong to force such labels on casual drinkers. Meanwhile I understand why there are labels on smokes, because it's hella addictive and it also seriously unhealthy even for third parties.

even if you classify it as riddle, you still need intelligence to "solve it", which is what is missing in LLM. the good answer you later got was probably prompt created by someone manually, to further feed the model.

did you need more data to solve the riddle ? rather more attention to what you read than more data, and that's the sole issue with AI/ML in current form.
I have been considering offering just such a service but I haven't got the business experience to make the business work. I've done significant mentoring in all my recent roles and it's something I derive great satisfaction from. If I could spend most of my time working with mentees I would do it in a heartbeat.
I respect your enthusiasm and journey to get healthy. My experience is I went on a low fat, low simple carb, low sugar diet (commonly referred to as vegetarian) and lost over 30 pounds and reduced my LDL by 60 points over 4 months.
I think it’s unfortunate that the Keto industry has chosen to brand themselves low carb/high fat. Rarely do they distinguish good fat from bad fat and good carbs from bad carbs. Keto gets its benefit from low simple carbs , not high saturated fats.
2020-21 was particularly bizarre. I had friends working happily in good jobs ask me if they should start a startup. Not because they wanted to, but because their friends in VC firms were literally calling them up to “start something - we’ll give you money”.

There was just way too much money and VCs didn’t know what to do with it.

Prime example, of course, would be the entire crypto/web3 industry.
I had no such intention, I had hoped I made that clear. China is a terrible dictatorship, and the US, for all its faults, is a democracy with a mostly working justice system.

However, in whatever state you live in, your local government is far and away the most likely to care about your habits, to want to convince you to vote against your interests, to accuse you based on flimsy evidence etc. A foreign country poses nowhere near the same risk, even if it's the worse regime in history and you live in the best.

The biggest problem for AI chatbots and search engines is bullshit

They have been trained to statistically produce plausible language --- without any real comprehension or understanding or concern for what the words convey.

Bottom line --- AI is still dumb as a hammer. There is no guarantee of anything with the results. Maybe it offers some factual info --- or maybe not. Any result still needs to be verified.
Distcc moves the compilation somewhere else, ccache stores the compiled outputs, and both can work together. Although I'm not entirely sure how ccache works when all your clients use different CPUs. I only use distcc.

Kelsey is super smart, but this is possibly the worst type of advice you can give.

You should NOT run your databases on Containers. As Werner Vogels says, "eventually, everything will fail" at scale, and the more complexity you add to a system, the higher the chances. K8S is an unnecessary layer.

That's good. But the lower lungs already get seepage of body serum/humoral igM and igG. If you really want to protect against infections then you have to induce mucosal immunity (and get tissue resident B and T cells) in the surface layer of the upper respiratory. Unfortunately intramuscular vaccinations do not do that, they only give serum/humoral immunity. So they're only the first step to protect against serious disease.

India has just released it's intranasal sars-cov-2 vaccine for use as of a month ago (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64421961). I'm waiting anxiously on those large scale public results. Especially as a booster after intramuscular.
That’s more a description of ‘apprenticeship’ than ‘mentorship’.

Agree, though. The problem is there’s no way for anyone to know whether the knowledge being passed on by a particular senior to an apprenticed colleague is actually valuable. I see people pick up bad habits from their mentors as much as good ones.

There is a need to professionalize knowledge in this field. I have no idea how we should do it.
No worries, I'll take a look at your site later. :) If it helps, I tried reaching the site from Norway. Thanks for reaching out! Edit: It works just fine now! Looks pretty interesting!

Maybe. But the cynic in me says it'll wind up being like cable TV or a subscription to the NYT: Since you are well-off enough to afford a $20/month plan, Microsoft will reason, you're the perfect consumer to advertise to. So you get both ads (or at least heavy tracking) and you get to pay.

Sort of. If these are normal transactions given the customer's trade, no report is made. SARs are only filed if you are suspicious (that's what the S stands for) that a crime has occurred. This is where knowing your customer comes into play.

CTRs, on the other hand, have a limit of $10,000, and while it is aggregate, it's aggregated over a single business day. CTRs do not require suspicion. They are routinely filed for ordinary, legal transactions.
Massive move of usage to new services should be enough for a massive amount of startups that build those new services. No need for expansion, I think.
>You don't need THAT much money to retire. You can put all your money into the stock market, then withdraw 4% per year and live off it and reasonably expect to live like that indefinitely, since the exponential growth of your savings will balance out the ongoing withdrawals and inflation.

>At $40k a year you could retire with $1M saved, which could be doable in 10 years of saving FAANG money pretty comfortably.

It depends what kind of securities you are buying and where, especially if you want to secure your kids’ future (their education/healthcare/land/legal risks). I also think a 4% withdrawal rate is too optimistic given the demographic changes that are projected to occur, I am using 2% for my calculations.

I'm mentoring my wife in her journey from Salesforce user to admin to architect. She gets stuck in Trailhead with new software engineering concepts and I am there to help explain.

We have a mentorship program at my current employer, designed to alleviate the shortcomings where fresh grads post-COVID start their career working remotely and won't benefit from onsite interactions. The founder recognized the experience gained in those situations was crucial and the younglings just weren't receiving it. I'm mentoring two junior software devs currently.

I think mentorship is vastly underrated across society.

My understanding is that Python is used by millions of people to write programs measured in tens of lines, and by tens of large companies writing millions of lines.

Many in the first group are happy with dynamic typing. Those in the second group would have been better off with a compiled language but are too invested in Python to switch to something different, so are trying to morph Python itself into something different.

Unfortunately, the way Python’s governance works, all decisions about the future of the language are made by people in the second group. For example, IIRC the Python Steering Council is composed entirely of developers working for large tech companies - no scientists, finance workers etc at all.
> What if alcohol is actually just bad for you full stop

It is.

The point is it is not so bad that you should worry so much about it, just use moderation.

Like everything else in your life, especially past 40, you should use common sense: don't eat hamburgers every day, it's bad for your health. You should walk more, a sedentary lifestyle is really bad for your health. You should reduce the amount of sports you do and prefer moderate physical activity to playing football with your friends (see Hulk Hogan current health status), etc. etc.

It's not like tobacco, processed food or driving, those are really dangerous things for your health and will reduce your life span considerably.

Anyway, they tried prohibitionism in USA, it didn't work, so I guess alcohol is here to stay with us, till the end of time.
I have always given the research credit that it may just be highly counter intuitive but it has always seemed rather obvious that drinking poison is not part of optimal longevity.

The least shocking thing is for new research to come out claiming no amount of poison is good for you.

I quite enjoy drinking a few times a year but pushing 50 there is nothing that makes me feel as bad as even a few beers the night before compared to getting up and going for my morning 60 min walk without.

But using a basic text editor without even syntax highlighting, together with a separate compiler, extends your feedback loop on typos and syntax errors and - in strong type systems - logic errors your type system can catch.

Sure, I don’t have to run the program to find the fault - but I have to run the compiler. And then parse its output and find the line it’s telling me about.

In an IDE, such feedback can be immediate, in place, and point me to the symbol where the error is evident.
