These types of cringeworthy responses are really common and it's really a detriment to society.

Whether it be astroturfing or other means originally founded by pharmaceutical companies knowing they originally did not test drugs for mitochondrial toxicity prior to Phase 1 trials, the source remains to be seen.

The fact is that people are by and large developing metabolic dysfunction earlier on, and things like antibiotics drastically accelerate the problem. Bactericidal antibiotics are widely known in research now to be seriously toxic to mitochondria and the damage they cause leads to chronic processes because mitochondria do not have effective repair mechanisms outside of copies. When they start reproducing mutated copies, the person does not get off scot-free anymore. Processed foods and air pollution and chemical exposures from foods and other things all additionally cause more dysregulation. This is all becoming way more widely known.

Some percentage of people will just not bounce back after these insults. Respiratory viruses and bacterial infections induce a large amount of oxidative stress in the human body, largely caused by your own immune system. Normally, your body has redox mechanisms to balance this out so you are fine in the end (otherwise running would cause a lot of problems really quickly!). But combining our toxic environment, toxic antibiotics that most people take (and many women take bactericidal antibiotics for UTIs!), high processed food diets leading to excessive baseline OS, you potentiate the risk for the individuals own mitochondrial machinery to be severely damaged from a high OS insult. After that, you don't bounce back. You develop chronic fatigue and severe exercise intolerance, and have much more precarious relationships with other illnesses.

This is what's happening. Depression other mental disorders are already strongly associated with metabolic dysregulation in research.

Don't blame the victims. It's likely you'll become one yourself before you're very old. Everyone is getting sicker.
Sure, but my point is that if the highest of rights - the constitutional ones - can be forfeited in jail, surely rights set in law can be lost or suspended.
VC take note: I would pay streaming subscription prices, for 24/7 access to a LLM chatbot DM which correctly and configurably runs a campaign for me [and friends].

Let me pick between styles and tones (some openly modeled on popular podcasts and streaming play), let me tune a bunch of controls, give me a nice UX if you can, but build me a consistent world which spoons out the world-building _and remembers it_ and I am a customer for life.

Oh yeah and the price I will pay doubles if this is illustrated throughout with generative art (also tunable wrt style).

We can wait for music and speech synthesis and sound effects for v1.5.
Why did the housing market crash?

Cause it reached a point where ppl couldn't pay.

Same story with energy. Google gives us free stuff cause someone pays. And the moment the ad industry stops paying the bill the next data center becomes unaffordable. The story is never about how much energy is available in the universe. The story is about Ameobas over eating and blowing up.
Can anyone explain to me why the article states

"The chemicals had been used since the 1940s in consumer products and industry, including in nonstick pans, food packaging and firefighting foam. Their use is now mostly phased out in the U.S., but some still remain."

but I see more categories of products using DWR coatings as a selling point every year?
What stops a peer from, say, injecting malicious JavaScript into pages? Or going rogue and serving porn for every request for a JPEG? What if they only do it for every 1000th request?

You could send a hash of the file to the client from the coordination server and check it. If the hash isn't valid, you can re-request the file from another peer. But I don't think you can trust the client to report abuse: a malicious client could report innocent peers (e.g., a vindictive Chrome extension).

Or, the site owner could manipulate the coordination JavaScript to report the downloaded file as invalid/corrupt/tampered with, and then just not re-request the file (and there's nothing you can do to stop them). So in that case, the site owner is managing to not pay for the service (assuming you don't bill for downloads that were reported as invalid).

But on top of all of that, this is _slow_. It's slow on my (quite fast) internet. If you're using this, it's because you're trying to get cheap bandwidth, not because you value performance. The whole point of a proper CDN is to improve performance by spreading out load and moving the edge server physically closer to the user. This might be putting the edge server physically closer to the user, but the mechanism to do that seems to take almost as long as the request/download of the asset itself.
Well. To each their own, use cases differ so wildly it's hard to compare them.

The key audience for conda is ML/DS space, where most if not all packages come from either C/C++/Rust/Fortran and have to be compiled, while also requiring a consistent set of external C libraries like libblas, etc. As I said, some of those packages are a completely nightmare to build locally. Conda simplifies this by a lot in that you can just 'conda create -n myenv some=1.0 crazy=2.0 deps=2.0' and in a few seconds (if you use mamba and not conda) you have a working Python environment so off you go; no dockers, no local builds etc.
Yes, we all place a lot of trust in cloud vendors today. FHE is a way to move the trust boundary back to the client - let the server be as malicious or insecure as it wants. Raw compute could even become much cheaper, since any machine anywhere can be a supplier in the market for untrusted CPU time.
Can confirm that the output of c2rust currently suffer because the refactoring tool needs to be revived. We will get to it eventually but we don't have a firm date :/
> as women are affected more by mass hysterias (see: transgenderism)

In terms of direct participation or support? I believe the former leans heavily towards males (assigned at birth etc), so I assume you mean the latter. Wonder if you’ve seen numbers somewhere or just personal experience? Curious as I haven’t seen any numbers in either direction, and I would not have assumed a big difference there.

Hey thanks! There are quite a few static based automated tools that can help as a first run such as https://sisik.eu/apk-tool

Perhaps there are opportunities for developing easy to use dynamic analysis tools for the general population.
Rerunning a glorified series of bash scripts on every install doesn’t work at any sort of scale. This is why we’ve moved away from configuration over ssh to either:

1) deterministic builds with centralized caches

2) snapshots

Docker has some features of (1) but is really (2).

You absolutely do not want to download the recipe to build a Docker image instead of the image itself.

Further, the base images have no recipe. They are a tarball of a slimmed down pristine base os install.
Around 2003, I was driving home from San Francisco back to Danville late at night. After the 580 tunnel, as I crested the hill, the entire sky lit up bright green and I saw a huge glowing ball like this that lasted for a few seconds. These days, I'd have dashcam footage to show you. I was driving alone and the roads were pretty much empty, and it's kind of weird when something so unusual happens and you feel like the only one who saw it.

I don't really get how people can be so quick to dismiss long covid as made up. Is it too much to just admit that you don't have enough evidence to decide whether it's real instead of trying to write claimants off as grifters or mentally ill?

Further, it's odd that some people aren't willing to even entertain the possibility that it could be real, given that a number of examples of post-viral syndromes have been observed in other viruses. E.g. post-Ebola virus syndrome [1] and Epstein-Barr's role in the development of multiple sclerosis [2]. At the very least, this warrants taking claims of long COVID seriously, does it not?

I could write a book about this, but to make it short, what most users of a 3D system like Blender want when they get to the shading/rendering part of their work is to simply:

- pick an object in the scene

- pick a pre-made rich and complicated shader (wood, glass, tar, etc...) from a huge library of shaders expressed in a standard form (as in: that will work with whichever render, be it cycles, luxrender, moonray, etc...)

- drop it to the object without having to screw around for hours with texture scaling, rotation, uvs

- rinse and repeat until all objects in the scene are shaded

Very few people have the skills/knowledge and patience to put their own shaders together themselves by assembling basic nodes into a large and complicated shader tree.

There has been some (feeble) attempts to build standard libraries of Shaders around Blender:

https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LoL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCShkpW1c2w

These are:

- hard to use

- not always free

- not standard and portable across renders

In practice, assigning materials to a large scene in Blender is still a giant, time-consuming PITA.
Amphetamine[0] lets you prevent sleep on lid close. I presume it lets you do so without AC power (but I might be wrong on that), but one of the techniques they use to do that (setting the IOKit key that indicates the system is currently in clamshell mode) definitely does work without AC power. I made a command line utility[1] for myself a while back that does that if you're interested. It works fairly well, but the clamshell state tends to reset upon gaining/losing AC power. That's fine if the lid is open at the time (as the utility just applies the change again), but if the lid is closed, the system sleeps until the lid is opened again (at which point, it reapplies the change and you can close the lid again).

Texting and driving used to be a lot safer. It was easy to write texts without looking at my Razr. Probably every other T9 phone too.
Computer Programming. I've heard from many that early gamers turned out to be great coders. I was wondering that could have been because they used PC and got hacker attitude but that might not be the case with console.
“Long Covid” is just our euphemism for adverse reactions. The fact that you’re not even allowed to bring this up casts serious doubt on all studies into the phenomenon.
> Psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, worry, perceived stress, and loneliness, before COVID-19 infection was associated with an increased risk of long COVID, according to researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Where does it say long covid isn’t real? Did you take 2 seconds to read the article you’re spamming?
I‘m not part of any societal effort to pretend it’s over :-)

Someone says they still have problems breathing 6 months after a moderate covid case? I’ll believe them by default.

Someone says they feel demotivated at work 6 months after a mild case? I’ll be skeptical.
I work with an older guy who's been out of work for over a month now from COVID. I'm pretty worried about him long term
Wow. Thank You. Will definitely look that up.
To flesh out your argument:

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first prospective study to show that a wide range of social and psychological factors are risk factors for long COVID and daily life impairment due to long COVID,”

This statement could also be used to argue that people with social and psychological factors are more likely to be impaired by Long COVID symptoms, not that they are more likely to have it.

"After analyzing the responses and comparing those who developed long COVID to those who did not, the researchers determined that distress before COVID-19 infection, including depression, anxiety, worry, perceived stress, and loneliness, was associated with a 32 percent to 46 percent increased risk of long COVID. These types of psychological distress were also associated with 15 percent to 51 percent greater risk of daily life impairment due to long COVID."

This very clearly does not say that Long COVID is psychological.
Can you help me make sure I follow this right. You do a charge back in cases where you can't reach an agreeable resolution with the company, right.

Presumably that's the end of the relationship - you claw your money back via the CC and say good bye to the company.

What's the argument for being able to charge back but then wanting to (and the company being forced to, as I think you are suggesting) doing business with each other?

I suspect I am missing something.
> Eventually it has to be abstracted or it isn't computationally reducible.

This should be "Eventually it should be abstracted or else you are at risk of being computationally reducible." I was trying to say it isn't computationally reduced in the unabstracted form, but didn't use the words precisely enough.
I don't think you need to be water soluble to have impact on aquatic environments; take for example microplastics?
there are definitely people with symptoms that could be described as long covid; there are many others who are pathological hypochondriacs that latch onto whatever is floating around the memetic ecology that explains the physical manifestations of their distress and anxiety
Yea, ruined the experiment. Not that someone else couldn’t recreate it…
Based.

In the epistemically Lovecraftian realm of UB insanity that is C and C++, I happily kneel at the altar of following petty rules if it means it can keep my code safer from bugs.

The post author is basically staring in the face of decades of mind-rending CVEs and, when glancing over to something that can preclude most of them, says, "Yeah but this is annoying and distracting. I need to not be annoyed or distracted so that I can focus on writing good code (unlike all the programmers that came before me)."

A couple of other "clean ups" of the modern era:

- Tsar-era government debt had understandingly been repudiated by the communist government and mostly traded as a collector's item, with individual bonds framed or used as bathroom wallpaper or just chucked out. But enough of it was still in peoples' hands that the USSR had to pay it off before they could get access to to debt markets in the 80s.

- IG Farben shares continued to be listed and traded into the 21st century. I remember in the 80s a few crass English friends of mine who worked in the City bought and sold some shares, mainly amused that a Reichsmark-Sterling exchange rate was still available and in fact fluctuated, entirely for the trading of this one "asset".

Finance can be weird, yet hard nosed sometimes.
Never come back is, of course, desirable, but it's really only possible for problems that have an algorithmic solution. Lots of "business logic" results from problems that are only vaguely defined, or have multiple solutions or require divining user's intent. Those problems will come back no matter what you do.
Are you talking about the $115B company that basically only sells coffee, has a literal giant of a rewards program that also generates billions of dollars a year? Yah, sucks to be starbucks.
I had an experience a bit like that, but with mini-tornadoes, somewhere along the M11 in the UK (Essex I think, but perhaps the edge of Cambs). I recall looking it up afterwards and it seemed to be 'a thing', though none of the news examples I found from various years before the event were anything like as extreme - tens and tens of them, well-formed.

A truly bizarre 'what is happening' experience for me - before that I would've said flatly 'we don't get tornadoes here'. Never seen anything like it, before or since, nor even heard of it except for having looked into it then.
Damn YouTube is pushing the ads these days. I don't remember last time I opened YouTube and didn't see an ad on open. I'm logged into Chrome, no VPN or funny business. What a racket.

Your last phrase hits home. At the moment, one of the things I'm very focused on is understanding why do I want to become an entrepreneur in the first place.

It may be that that ultimately proves to be the most likely explanation, but I strongly disagree with the level of certainty you're attaching to that claim in this case.
Did the US intervene because the Swiss were taking much of the cartel laundering market away from their institutions?

Banks don't have a good name, it's not just the Swiss. I mean they have a good name among the corrupt and the rich who love their help laundering money, skirting laws, and socializing their losses. Among the common person, regard for banks probably sits somewhere between politician and lawyer.
This is what I don't understand about Docker's policy switch. Aren't all the companies that would potentially pay them just going to switch to one of the main CSPs Container Registry service?
Smith argued that this was in aggregate to the benefit of society, including competition between selfish businesses. He argued that monopolies are ultimately damaging to society.

The entity that first achieves real general AI has the potential to achieve a decisive strategic advantage that will allow it to shape the world in its image, free of competition. Traditional economics might not really apply anymore - the values that are built into the constructed intelligence will be paramount.

It won’t just all work out in the wash if we end up creating a superintelligence with values that are not to the benefit of humanity at-large.
Both, though the latter is likely due to marketing/promises from HashiCorp. Consul (and the entire hashicorp stack, really) is overengineered, under-optimized, and generally terrible to use at any scale beyond "small".

Yep, like your GUI framework's.

It's great how unsafe code rolls downhill and forces yours to be less safe. :p
> People who got covid vs other viruses. When you follow up with them 3 months later, there is no difference in symptoms between the groups. In other words, long covid symptoms are no worse than any other respiratory virus.

Erm, doesn't that also just mean that there is "Long <Insert Any Virus>" that we have been ignoring prior to Covid?
the rules of accounting say losses are only recognized when realized (mostly because they don't want you playing the game in the other direction and exaggerating your worth), but the cashflows and market prices tell the true story, a different story than book value.

You don't buy bonds (or mortgage backed securities), you buy the future cashflows they represent. Let's say you have a billion dollars, and you buy future cashflows worth a billion at a 2% interest rate, then interest rates jump to 6%: you still own the same future cashflows, but those cashflows are not worth a billion any more, they're only worth a third of that (give or take). now you don't have the flexibility to sell those cashflows to finance a billion in other investment activities. Now your stock is not worth what it was, so if you sell stock you get less to finance investment opportunities. Will your bank be OK if you hold what you hold to maturity? you will get the cashflows, which if you have perfectly balanced cash flows-in with cash flows-out means you break even, but (a) you didn't do that and (b) that's not the business you are in, to sit in stasis for 20 years: you are much less valuable, your opportunities have dried up, and current customers do not want to do business with you any more. Sharks have to keep swimming or they suffocate (which may not be true for sharks, but it is true for banks) A bank is not a treasure chest waiting to be dug up, it's a McDonalds that needs people to order fries with that.

Roku put something like $500 million into the bank, that money gets invested by the bank overnight into very safe govt paper, but during the day it is turned back into cash assets of the bank, and it disappeared going into Roku's account and without being turned into govt paper again. It is not the case that Roku will get its $500 million back by sitting on that paper, there is no paper and the cash is gone.
When I have "start from an empty buffer" code I try to crank the warnings up to "ten" at least. It helps a lot.

But I agree that all the way to "eleven" is usually counterproductive. And rarely does one get to start with an empty buffer, especially given you're going to #include something.

You have a personal belief which you appear to be passionate about but actual scientists don’t share it. Rather than spamming the thread with your misinterpretation of the study, why not use the time to educate yourself about what clinicians are dealing with?
I saw a bright green huge one in Portland, Oregon USA in the 2004-2006 time period. Only tool I had was my eyes and brain to recall it (and I can still recall it well).

I love this update:

“ We are working to build a new Consul cluster with 10x the RAM. We aren't yet sure, but believe a routine DNS change might have created a thundering herd problem causing Consul servers to immediately increase RAM usage by 500%. This is not ideal.”

_This is not ideal._
> The disk performance - is the weakest part of the Peer. It is a part you can't guarantee any QoS on a cheap server. The idea is to keep popular cache on Peers in memory. Everything else we will host from a limited number of regular servers (belong to Farba), with high-performance disk subsystem.

I use a CDN to serve about 50GB of files stored on my origin, which turn over every week or so (a new 50GB every week). What you're saying means that _at best_ I need at least 3-4 peers in order to keep one copy of all of my files available. That's your using your numbers for a LeaseWeb or OneProvider peer. And if I'm competing with other customers, my content is getting evicted, resulting in more hits to my origin. If I'm actually using your system as a CDN where peers should be physically close to my users, that means that I'm filling up RAM of lots and lots of peers just so that enough peers that are close to my users can serve the files.
