For me the anti aging, immortality thing is funny because I think it has been solved for most species: it is called reproduction. Actually surviving is reproducing.

If anti aging proponents spent as much time trying to reproduce and making sure their offspring were fit to continue their bloodline with good education it seems to me a good outcome. That is why the education of my children is important: the imprint of intellect self after I imprinted my bodily self in their genes.

One could argue, but “hey ptsneves your children are not you thus you will unavoidably going to be eliminated from existence”. And I say, “it is ok and part of physical existence. I accept it.“

Evolution found it worthwhile to have sexual reproduction, meaning clones are a bad fit for eco system disturbances.

Evolution also found it fit to restart the cycle from scratch even if it meant an individual would lose experience or ecosystem optimality. This is to protect again local optimae , which is a great path to extinction.

The extent of these 2 premises is such that the apex predator on earth reproduces sexually and has a limited life span. Maybe that is survival bias but I think there are good causation ideas behind them.

With the above if I really want to be immortal and have my legacy preserved robustly I should use the current system: reproduction with a good emphasis on descendant upbringing and according to my experience. Again, even if I am great in my current eco system I do not presume this experience will work with eco system disturbances, so I accept evolutionary bargains and have children with a partner I believe will fulfil my bodily destiny the most resilient way possible.

I even wanted to start a religion where propagation of one’s self through dedication to offspring and community is central. I am tired of a society ruled by geriatric concerns[1]. (I say this as mostly a joke of course, I have more than enough work raising my children much less dabbling in other peoples lives)

Ps: none of what I wrote invalidates improvements on longevity. It is just that we already have a basic system for propagation in time.

[1] I know extremely young demographics make for crappy countries and quality of life.
What are the Linux versions of these? UPX doesn't pack binaries smaller than 40k.
I really appreciate this comment a lot. Feels like it hits the nail on the head.

I've seen some of the discussion about/around the Yamanaka factors and it feels like an anime plot point, honestly. I need to look more into them and understand them a bit better. They're the ones implicated in stem cells returning back to pluripotency, right (and then the long deep dive about DNA damage/repair/what the heck is happening in the disparity between repairing damage for reproduction vs the everyday repair, etc...)?
No aggressive promotion, no VC-esque backing. Which is very good for Matrix.
It would be helpful if you were more explicit about what you've changed I think. Metasearch is an interesting area though.

My hunch is that search results pages aren't done well in any search engine right now. Many designs are too poisoned by looking at how Google is presenting the results.

I'm not sure how best to convey my feeling. Maybe pseudo-Socratically:

* What value does a search engine bring to its users? Does it help with navigating a vast library? Does it answer factual questions? Something else?

* In the light of the above, what is a good way of presenting search results?
That's how I use it too. You try to search some topics on search engines nowadays, you get a lot of blog drivel with the same cliches all over and very little on the way of factual explanations. You ask ChatGPT and it gives you one to four paragraphs straight to the point. You can query it further and validate what it says with literature or more focused searches.

It feels like I'm getting massively subsidized by the AI hype tho. Even if I were to pay 20 dollars a month for that, it wouldn't come close to covering how much it cost to train and host it.
Even then, maybe first see a therapist, try some psychedelics or whatever. If you've tried everything and somehow still see no point in living then yeah.. go ahead.

I've been depressed a couple of times in my life and saw no point in going further or living but I've talked myself out of it by simply saying, hey, if I do this relatively small thing and then do this thing that gives me pleasure then that's better than literal death. I find it hard to believe a person has experienced everything there is to experience in 200 or even 1000 years. Our set of experiences is what it is because of the short time that we have but it doesn't mean it can't evolve to accommodate a lifespan of 10x or 100x.
Creatine for brain health is unbelievably good too IIRC (don't quote me on it though, please! ;P)

One of the hard parts of aging stuff is how nonlinear it is. A lot of the good drug treatments seem to be short term/cyclical, along with significant lifestyle modifications.

In addition to what the other commenter said, I've heard of OMAD and having a strong community/having a purpose or something to do as another strong factor in longevity, in the 90-100+ year olds in Japanese community for example. I can't remember if OMAD was correlated to that community or a different study, however.
"The water isn't boiling yet. In one minute the water will still not have boiled. Therefore it will take forever to bring this pot to boiling point, proof by induction on the positive integers."

I broadly agree with lifespan and healthspan extension on the grounds that one should get to choose the time and manner of their passing, but that quote is just ridiculous and Yudkowsky should have known better.
"everything sucks" as in "you have to connect your phone to the internet once"?
Not really, apart from the OpenGL/DirectX dependency (needed for using the GPU), pretty much everything should be statically linked.
http://boringtechnology.club/ remains relevant, and I try to apply it wherever I go with... varying results.

One issue though is that it seems more difficult to find competent developers for boring stacks, because they're always looking for the next challenge, the next thing they consider interesting or what looks good on their profile (vs what is best for their employer).
It’s totally irresponsible to invest in 10 year government bonds, without hedging duration risk, especially if your clientele is SVB’s clientele. But doing so would have dampened the short term gains that paid bonuses for a few quarters.
Haven't sandboxed programs in a privileged context been the root cause of me seeing BSOD so often in the late 90ties?
"those pensioners and others in the 1990" were enjoying the fact that they could finally buy bread and other foodstuff in the store. And have medicine in hospitals. And the fact that they could talk to one another without wondering who is a secret service collaborator.

I mean those who stayed in the country, because an amazing number were enjoying their new found freedom of simply going to a capitalist country to try and improve their lot in life. Funny how none of them western exploited were in any hurry to go and enjoy the communism wonders. The walls and bullets at the border were all to keep us "lucky" communists in!

And you haven't seen abject poverty and dehumanization until you've visited a communist orphanage...
> The biggest remaining one is still that fingerprint locked information is not protected under the fifth amendment in the US.

Is this comment more about the ongoing existential concern for everyone, or wondering if this is a specific concern for yourself?

The Apple implementation protects with either a biometric or passcode; you should be able to still use it if you disable the biometric features of the phone.

A third-party implementation might instead support requiring a PIN rather than accepting a passcode for their users with such concerns.

This is very close to the existing situation with password managers.

> I am also interested in seeing how phone secured passkeys will work, iOS currently forces the use of keychain, excluding users who opt for a third party password manager like bitwarden.

The system implementation uses iCloud Keychain, but a password manager can ship a web extension to supplant the existing browser API with their own implementation.

On Android, there is a system level API in beta that allows third party password managers to offer passwords and passkeys to native apps and browsers.

> I also wonder if phones will be able to be used to login without enabling bluetooth.

There are complications to supporting USB on multi-purpose devices, and unfortunately nowhere near enough NFC reader adoption for such support to be prioritized. NFC also has some UX complications.

The bluetooth support is used for proximity checks; a pure network-based approach would be open to lower sophistication MITM attacks.
Someone has already mentioned Susan Rigetti's list [0]. I also recommend Mark Saroufim's list [1].

In addition, I will recommend to you "Proof: A Long Form Math Textbook" by Jay Cummings. This is a really nice book which I can recommend highly.

Also, look at "A Programmer’s Introduction to Mathematics" by Jeremy Kun [2].

Brydge is done making Apple gear, leaving preorders unfilled, employees stiffed
Apple’s savings account is with Goldman Sachs, balance is limited to 250k and it is FDIC insured up to 250k. It seems like they are playing it safe: an existing bank with FDIC limits, but better integrated into UI and Apple ecosystem. It seems irrelevant to banking executives’ fuck ups.
I disagree; it's not the language that's bad, it's the community. Too much tech debt that was never removed, too many people that profess to be experts on the internet and give bad examples, and too many people full of themselves building and rebuilding their own frameworks. That was the issue 10, 15 years ago anyway, things have improved but it means people have to pick established frameworks like Laravel.

What about accessibility? That's the biggest thing in my mind when I choose to use someone else's component library. Things like combo boxes, date pickers, popovers are non trivial in terms of placement and accessibility.
Eh... complex systems evolve through boom-and-bust dynamics. Humans are causing a bust. It might delete us from Earth. We had a brief, good run.
> if I’m writing a machine learning application or a web application, then I’ll most likely reach for Python or JavaScript, respectively, due to the library ecosystems.

This sounds eminently sensible but it never pans out that way in practice for me:

How do you understand the ML algorithms if you haven't implemented them yourself?

And if you have implemented them for the sake of understanding, in whatever language you fancied, why not just keep using that implementation?

The reason I'd choose Python in practice would be as a social compromise with collaborators.

(I say this having recently switched from Julia to Common Lisp because I didn't feel the ecosystem was giving me much practical benefit.)
Likely because it is self-calibrating or waiting for some internal temperature to stabilise.

For a lot of uses that doesn't really matter tbf. IIRC in the FLIR software you can disable the periodic self calibration they do (which is quite annoying). Maybe that would improve startup time.
Having played through it and having recently realized how many more different ending there are, I found the story and characters to be genre defining. There have been story lines that have troubled me, made me think, deeply surprised me and that I enjoyed thoroughly and I'm looking forward to my next play through, probably when the official development has seized but with lots of small mods.

To be fair, I waited till it was stable enough and most the issued had been fixed (/r/patientgamer) but after that it has become the game of the decade for me that is as genredefining as half life or deus ex were.
I don't know what you are on, I admitted in multiple comments on HN over the past year that I was russian. Never got any "calls to violence" or "insults of ethnic character" or heard people justifying terrorism inside russia in replies.

The few attempts at insults against russians that I've seen on HN (not even against me, but somewhere in deep down in random related threads) were either extremely downvoted or flagged.

If you said "on reddit", that would have been a different story, especially on their large frontpage subs. But reddit comments in general tend to be extremely moronic at times on all sides, so that's not really a surprise.
You're half right, they are only resetting epigenetics (for example DNA methylation that is important in cell specialization), not DNA.

Altos Labs being funded is both a blessing and a curse, because it funded the best researchers in this area with hundreds of millions of dollars (5-10x their salary in what they were making as university professors), but since it was founded, there are much less publications available.
So an ssh private key is not "something you have" either then?

It's certainly not something you know nor something you are. Where does it fit into the MFA scheme of things?
That's actually not exclusive to Pixel phones. The custom signing key part probably is, just because no other phone allows you to lock the bootloader with a custom key. But the "bootloader is unlocked" screen is built into AOSP
Is that common? I thought it varied depending on the team, but usually that 1 pt is the shortest meaningful piece of work. Where I work now, 5 pt is not especially much. We have total story points delivered in a sprint around 120.
The cookie law™ clearly lays out that technically required cookies can be set without explicit consent. Performance measurements are not a requirement though.

So if you are not using anything but essential cookies on your site, you don't need a banner.
Not if you can reduce scope (to zero, in the worst case).
Do these updates apply to PS4 as well?
If you found a better system, by all means - propose it here. But usually when leftists say that they just mean some form of watered down communism and completely skip over stuff like Stalin's, Mao's or Pol Pot's blood baths bringing up Aztecs instead...
I agree with this sentiment, The ipad Pro is an infuriating device. the OS is incredibly limiting, arbitrarily crippled and has UI decisions that seem to defy any kind of internal consistency.

The fact that the "thunderbolt" port seems to arbitrarily reject usb drives that work on my phone (s23 ultra) and steam deck, that I am treated like a child in a safety helmet when using my own device, that browsers are all just shitty reskins of safari, that windowing system which seems like the fisher price toy version of a real computer...

all of this is even more infurating because some of my most productive artistic work has been done on an ipad pro, as a 3d artist I have enormous chunks of my workflow that I accomplish on Nomad Sculpt, and Cozy Blanket (modelling and retopology) I take notes on Concepts, and I really enjoy the fantastic screen and pen responsiveness... I just wish this device wouldnt occupy such disparate corners of the quality histogram. as it is, I upgraded from a 2018 pro to a 2021 1TB / 16GB of ram because I regularly sculpt models in the tens of millions of polygons on this device. I just wish I wasnt treated like some interloper when I was ready to actually do work on it.
Oh come on now, it’s common knowledge that Pixel phones need to contact fonts.gstatic.com and download 137 MB of fonts in order for the bootloader unlocking option to be made available :-)
The choice of death is a very good point. One would argue that the difference between a natural death and a death sentence is the knowledge and control of your life’s termination.

If people decide to end themselves that is suicide, and if someone else decides it then that is murder. All these are morally and ethically much more complicated than just dying agentlessly.
welcome to cloud engineering.
This has been a problem in a few places I've worked at that decided to build "microservices" (read: simple apps that moved the complexity to a higher architectural level, i.e. by having every service talk to every other service over a REST API or event bus), not because it solved a problem they had, but because it MIGHT solve a problem they'd LIKE to have. Cargo cult, in a nutshell.

My current employer is going all-in on serverless because it solved a problem they had with performance. The problem wasn't solved by serverless, but by moving away from an old fashioned and unscalable solution. The real problem or bottleneck - a centralized SAP database - has not been solved yet. They would have achieved the same results if they rebuilt their API in a generic Java monolith.

Here's my prediction: when the crack team of consultants that powered through building a serverless architecture leaves (because they will, one because they're consultants and two because they get bored when the problem has been solved), they won't be able to find competent developers to take over and the whole thing will be rebuilt again in something they CAN find developers for. I mean it's just NodeJS, but the architecture is distributed and much harder to manage than in a simple monolithic app.
At some point there is a need for time estimates, ye.

I don't ask contractors for a detailed breakdown, just the whole thing. And they either do a high padded fixed price or work per hour.

A friend who is an elictrician might do 100 similar rooms in a building and they have a detailed breakdown of "time per screw" more or less.

So I guess the accuracy depends on the sameness of tasks to do.
They did pay streamers and YouTubers to promote the site and ran multiple streamer competitions. So they definitely took advantage of it and incentivized people to stream. Even Magnus began playing a bit on the site despite being part owner of a competitor, if I understand it correctly.

Porsche is attempting a similar path in iRacing by running multiple competitions with both pros and well-known streamers. It generates great content that attracts new people. Win for everyone involved but it wouldn't happen without someone pulling it all together.

It does matter. Much faster charging, much faster transfer for prores 4k videos. The fact that a lot are using cloud doesn't mean few use cable for data transfer
Somewhat related to this, I wrote a few years ago about how I envision that SWI-prolog could make a perfect integration point for reasoning and integrating multiple data sources in very intelligent ways, particularly if data is published in linked data form:

> Collecting credentials and reading mail from server is standard practice across hosts of email clients,

In some countries this is "unauthorised access to computing systems".

But Google and co. are above the law anyway.
The problem with statement like "this looks too complex" is that it lacks substance and is used as a stick to beat people with, and often has alternative meanings.

To combat this, you need to justify the complaint.

In the case of lambda, I think being tied into an ecosystem of things that you can't run locally is a net loss, but Amazon has done a terrific job at making a bunch of people not super comfortable with compute, see just running a share-nothing process as the way to bridge the gap, like PHP never existed.

Same thing happens with IT orgs that end up owning cloud. You get azure, regardless of whether you want such a thing.

hahahah why do you want whatsapp to disappear?

is the concept of people being able to talk on groups over the internet so bad?

or maybe it’s the ad network that whatsapp is related to. ads are just information telling you a product exists. is this bad?

or maybe your gripe is against social media causing mental health issues. maybe the information that your neighbor is better off than you are is inherently dangerous? who says this problem wouldn’t exist without social media?

Show HN: File carver in the browser (Rust and WebAssembly)
An experimental file carver [1], currently extracting only JPGs, written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly.

Files that the user provides are searched inside the browser, there's no server upload.

The extraction of JPGs works using their magic numbers. I'd love to get ideas on possibly more sophisticated extraction methods and the Rust code in general.

SAfE is definitely a bad idea, but keeping master broken should be a "automated tests guard master" retro action.
Yes, I meant the time taken estimating. The act of measuring estimated hours becomes more complex because the closer you look, the more you see, you could do it forever and have to stop somewhere.

But maybe instead of infinity, it's better to say estimation can take longer than the work itself which has been the case a few times for me.
Chat gpt et al seem to have changed the game. We dont need to get human groups to work better, if the output of a group can be outperformed by an algo.
Is it? HN is mostly static content. Ten years ago I wrote a simple web application using twister (python) that did well over a thousand requests per second. If we count just handling requests (and not churning out much data or doing anything fun processing) japronto for python claims to handle something like 1.2 million req/s on a single thread.
