Hi, I am Yael Namen.

I am a software engineer with 15+ years experience across several fields, doing full-stack web development--focusing on backend and system design--and more recently, DevOps and infrastructure engineering.

I am detail oriented, and enjoy working on hard problems that require that kind of detail.

I am passionate about improving things for the whole team/org. That can mean process improvements; writing docs; picking up the work other folks don't have the time/interest to pick up (e.g. this is how I got into DevOps).

I am always learning, and enjoy sharing what I know with other engineers, whether through mentoring, book clubs, or tech talks.

$500k probably wouldn't get me dinner with Beyonce. But dinner with Jay-Z might. I'd go with Jay-Z. Also, I could on my own raise $500k for a startup. Dinner with Jay-Z, I would have the opportunity to raise significantly more.

> If I was able to have weekly meetings with Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, Tim Cook, and Elon Musk about "how to do business/grow a business I was in control of", how often do you think their ideas would be in alignment versus basically conflicting?

I wouldn't be able to estimate. Of the three I am aware of, they're all very different, so me personally, I would relish the commonalities, and the diversity of their viewpoints, allowing myself to select which ones resonate best with me.

> Could any of them combine and tell Steph Curry how to play whatever position he is today (magical mythical 3 point drainer)? If each of them had different attributes/style, what could they collectively come together to agree on/teach you on?

Steph Curry? Unsure. While not likely to help him with basketball fundamentals given he is already a superstar in his own right, but I could imagine they would be able to offer their viewpoints on rivalries/post career life/ etc.

> Can any of them teach you how to be a great center?

Great? No. But they would make better than I could be elsewhere. At the very least, it would give me some inspiration to emulate some of their habits.

Genuine question: why isn’t traffic info/emergency broadcast moved to FM in North America? Is it mostly tradition/inertia in the use of FM, or also technical such as long distances being somewhat cheaper to cover? I’m not sure if a car I have owned has AM or whether there are any stations on there. The modes I can switch between are called “FM” and “Bluetooth” (but I’m sure the same model would have AM in NA).

Since this thread is chock full of anecdotes, here's mine that is the exact opposite.

I was completely healthy into my late 20's. I started a new job at 30. I got health insurance and figured for my 30th I'd get a checkup ... my first exam since I was 18 under my parent's plan. My blood pressure was high, so they did some tests which uncovered portal hypertension, and found I may eventually need a liver transplant. Zero history of it in the family. Good thing I had a checkup because I thought I was the model of health.

Again, since these are all anecdotes, I'm sharing. Yes be alert and ask questions but don't just blow it off. Maybe not yearly, but at least twice a decade maybe?
If it is not worth taking the follow-up action, then it is not worth doing the screening either.

Concrete example. Younger women have firmer breasts. A chunk of relatively firm breast looks a lot like cancer. Therefore the younger a woman is, the higher the odds are of a false positive from a mammogram.

As a result a woman who is 30-40 SHOULD NOT get a mammogram UNLESS she has a variety of specific risk factors that increase the odds that a positive on the test is a true positive, and not a false positive.

I think the first step is acknowledging what you imply: Free markets and capitalism are just algorithms, not arbiters of truth or morality. (This is also the working title of an essay I am working on)

We can't have a rational discussion of the alternatives when so many people have bought into the notion that all forms of private property are an inalienable right and market-driven valuation of the worth of a person does represents what a person morally deserves. People also once bought into the notion of the divine right of kings. It took forever to shake that.

We can't evaluate algorithms unless we come to a shared value system on what we are after, what exactly we are trying to optimize. Aggregate material wealth, regardless of how it is distributed? Broad population well-being / happiness? Individual liberty? Greater good. Darwinian competition?

I went to a public school where the entire motive energy of the staff was applied to the top quartile. Being in that quartile, it was really great. Every class was leveled and the best teachers taught Honors classes. I cannot describe how refreshing it was to be in a class where those 2 or 3 disruptive kids had just... disappeared.

This is also fundamentally a better way to run a country. It really doesn't matter whether the bottom student in the school does or doesn't learn how to add two three-digit numbers by the time he graduates high school. But the top student learning more advanced topics could actually matter.

Yes. ISA profiles (like RVA22) and platform profiles[0].

RISC-V is in a much better position than ARM and x86 already, because this is well underway and the boot specs have been available for years now.

In ARM, there was too little, too late. Most vendors do not follow the relevant specs.

As for the PC, the platform became so by accident (IBM PC clones happened) and there's of course a serious amount of historical cruft.

AIUI, liver enzymes being elevated don't always imply some sort of underlying liver pathology.

I was on both stanazolol and test for a 3-month cycle and my liver enzymes went up. And my cholesterol inverted (LDL increased while HDL decreased significantly). I explained to my primary care doctor (not the NP who prescribes me roids) the reason for this, showing the various papers that explained the underlying cause of the issue. As soon as I discontinued stanazolol, my liver enzymes normalized as did my cholesterol.

Long story short, elevated liver enzymes just mean you have elevated liver enzymes. There are cases where people have cirrhosis but they won't have elevated liver enzymes. AFAIK liver enzymes are far more useful in determining if you've had a heart attack or heart injury recently (I believe AST goes up substantially).
Not bad.

Wow, I've been looking for something like this for years! Thanks for posting. I fired it up on an M1 Mac (Rosetta 2) and it runs quite nicely. Watching through the screencast now, and looking forward to using this.

I've had an interest in writing an open source 3D CAD for some time, but I would far rather help with an existing project. Are you interested in PRs, and are there specific things you'd like help with?

One thing right away, I'd be happy to help with Mac M1 builds if that would be helpful. I maintain several open source projects and provide binaries for many platforms.

Great work!
You can use DuckDB (SQL syntax) then just convert to Polars (instantaneous).

The method chaining syntax is unwieldy in any language.

Magrittr + dplyr (tidyverse) pipeline syntax is beautiful syntax but there’s a lot of magic with NSE (nonstandard evaluation) that makes it really tricky when you need to pass a variable column name.

I’ve sort of converged on SQL as the best compromise.

You can check the proof manually if you need convincing. (Or you can invent ways to check that your computer is computing correctly).

I'm inclined to believe computation did happen, because otherwise you get theories like super-determinism, where consistency is really dubious. And the way to make them consistent in a robust way involve playing an adversarial lying game against agents from inside the simulation, which favors greatly the agents inside the simulation and therefore is even more computationally expensive than just doing the computation.

But even just taking a picture of a night sky and trying to infer the history, is very consistent with some computations happening according to fixed rules.
The Jimi Hendrix one is also very good. It really lets you get some insight into what a fundamentally shy and humble person he was, as opposed to his wild-man stage persona.

I don't think it is just martial arts. Any sort of knowledge or product being sold attempts to associate itself to the high status ideas at that moment in time. You are trying to sell a book on swordmanship to the sort of people with money and time to buy and read books. You want to explain to them why this book is better than other books they could buy.

* Better Living Through Chemistry cookbooks

* "Quantum Diet Supplements"

* Infinix will also feature an aircraft-grade aluminium finish

* Pants that "mimics the surface of a lotus leaf using nanotechnology"

* "The Czinger 21C is probably one of the most technologically advanced cars. Not only for what it is but, rather, from how it was made – with the help of A.I."

* Firewalls that use ML to detect threats where ML is usually a simple pattern match

* The defensive driving techniques in this course are based on recent advances in science of the human brain...

The martial aspect enters into it because violence is often view as a low-status activity. This is because violence requires working with your hands, which the middle classes in most societies sees as beneath their social standing. For example see how middle class families in the US value a college education vs education in a trade school. This isn't just a US phenomena. The middle and upper classes value a humanist (liberal arts) education over trades or crafts. A fencing master selling a book on fencing is going to want to convince these people that the book isn't about hurting people but about self-improvement and having a well rounded humanist education based on universal humanist principles. See also how Summer camps, Karate schools and various ofter sports market themselves as teaching "self-discipline" and "confidence".

This seems just a little bit of a conspiracy theory but, giving it credence I would say that it might be because the drugs are ridiculously overprescribed. Particularly for those who just don't need it. In the case of ADD, once there was a medication for it the diagnosis took off like a rocket. Sort of like oxycodone..

> The human brain could be viewed as a token predictor

No it really couldn't, because "generating and updating a 'mental model' of the environment." is as different from predicting the next token in a sequence, as a bees dance is from a structured human language.

The mental model we build and update is not just based on a linear stream, but many parallel and even contradictory sensory inputs that we make sense of not as abstract data points, but as experiences in a world of which we are part of. We also have a pre-existing model summarizing our experience in the world, including their degradation, our agency in that world, and our intentionality in that world.

The simple fact that we don't just complete streams, but do so with goals, both immediate and long term, and fit our actions into these goals, in itself already shows how far a humans mental modeling is from the linear action of a language model.
So this means I should buy my next laptop from this list if I want a proper Linux support.

Its a common theme, there's a book I read called The Coddling of the American Mind, very similar.
Gorillas avoid fighting if they can. They instead thump their chests and bare their fangs.

The Apollo program was a chest thumping and teeth baring program. It put a healthy fear of god in the Soviets, and lead to their ultimate defeat. Viewed as such it got a phenomenal bang for the buck.

Otherwise, in terms of science, it was quite useless.

The SLS program and the other heavy lift programs after Apollo (like the Space Shuttle) were primarily capability maintenance programs. If you look at them like that, then their success is not measured in how many launches they do, but in how few.

If you see these programs as a capability maintenance programs, they succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dream: they maintained a large and competent workforce and ecosystem which allowed startups such SpaceX to develop and flourish.

But now that SpaceX exists (and quite a number of other startups) there's less of a need a capability maintenance program.

Given that, my prediction is that these astronauts that were paraded in front of us today will never fly to the Moon.

>biking on the sidewalk in front of the house should be a low risk activity for a 2nd and 4th grader if done together

This is still a conservative view compared to 30 years ago, when it was acceptable for a lone 5 year old to learn to ride a bike on a suburban sidewalk relatively unsupervised (yes, really!). You may be on the liberal end of the modern Overton window, but you've been dragged along just like the rest of us.
The accident sounds like an awful experience and really bad luck.

Regarding the enzymes, I'd caution against feeling too certain in "doing your own research" for medical diagnoses. I'm definitely NOT saying doctors are always right (or conscientious, or competent). But it's hard to just go off published papers because even if you can parse what they're saying and even if you're exhaustive in searching all papers (two big ifs), there is relevant / accepted / important medical knowledge NOT really captured in papers.

You'd need niche textbooks, trade reports/publications and (in some cases) a network of experienced practitioners to expose yourself to all the possible information you'd need to make the right call in certain cases. And, related to your point, even really GOOD doctors who've formally studied ALL the right sources, keep up to date on new developments and have long experience can't reliably make the right call on the first try.

Certainly educate yourself and do research on your specific situation if you're inclined, but I'd be extra wary because you don't know what information is invisible to you. Find a doc who's willing to talk about their reasoning -- there certainly is an old tendency in the profession to be authoritatively prescriptive without sharing the logic (unfortunately, if understandably).

There are (small) differences in wheel and tire design to support the sealant based system, and that makes all the difference I guess. Slime tubes are pretty reviled, tubeless is the hot thing. Besides being more reliable it also allows for lower pressures, which is probably the main reason it has become popular. There is very little downside for riders (tubeless is just a bit slower than high end tubes that very few riders use), but for the home mechanic they’re a bit of a pain to work on.
