Maybe the graphics and the technical side but it’s still not what it was promised. Sure I enjoyed it as a one off action game but it’s not the genre defining open world RPG they were hyping up for years. They can fix the technical problems, but “fixing” the story, characters, the quests, the world itself not gonna happen.
> It really is just so bad for the industry.

It's like that for everything, not just games. That's why most companies are very meticulous about managing their public image (and that of their products') - they know that "shit sticks" and that a negative slant to how the public perceives them can stay with them for years, and can hurt them a lot. Games is a peculiar industry, as multi-billion companies routinely release half-baked products full of bugs, get a ton of hate for it, and still manage to be profitable.
Surely an understanding of how much effort is needed to complete one project or another will inform their decisions of which to pursue.

A challenge to your assumption that there is an implied system and that said system is somehow fair in its current state. It's nonsense.

Maybe not a great example. The PinePhone relies on software to manage its battery charging parameters. Thermal limits are controlled entirely in software and sent to the PMIC by the kernel, if this isn't done correctly or at all it's not just possible to have a brick, but a flaming brick.

You mean like how there are different cables for HDMI, DisplayPort, or even a regular power cord?

The biggest problem is that manufacturers don't follow the spec. You are supposed to physically label the cable with its capabilities, but literally nobody bothers to do so.
Theoretically it's arbitrary numbers. Then a factor specifically calculated for your team gets applied to it to turn it into hours or days.

I was surprised by how frequently I use my iPad Air. Its limitations are real, and sometimes frustrating. But it’s still a device that’s just easy to reach for and use a lot through the day. Whenever I’m ready to upgrade I’m shelling out for the Pro.

I do agree that it’s not suitable for serious productivity work (and that that is kind of disappointing when the hardware is the same as a MacBook) but for videos and reading and Web browsing it’s hard to beat.
Just upgraded from a, I think, 6 year old Pixel 2 to a carrier discounted Pixel 7. Being in Germany, I am fairly certain tue bootloader is unlocked (-able), I might try it during the weekend. Reason forbthe switch was that a) even CalyxOS stopped supporting it b) the phone lost the mobile network evervso often c) the screen was held together by clue and proteczive glass. Otherwise, it isbstill working and will stay as my backup phone.

Now I kust try to make up my mind regarding CalyxOS on the Pixel 7. The pure Google andrpid looks good, I think I turned most of the tracking off (unique add ID to improve persobal adds, WTF?). But there are still some annoying things, e.g this crappy, unremovable, Google search bar. If Ibread correctly, one can go back from CalyxOS to stock android now, right? Not that I would really mind so, I didn't miss anything the last couple of years except maybe Google maps at some occassions, and I could have installed that using microG and Aurora store.
Both. Lately I have started reaching out and it works pretty well!
So in the science of fitness, there's a lot of woo, but there are a few really clear wins. One such example in weight lifting is supplementing creatine. It's well researched, fairly inexpensive, the performance improvements are significant and well documented, and it's very safe with side effects being mild and rare. Once you're actually doing the exercise and nutrition part more or less right, it's hard to argue against supplementing creatine. It's used by the vast majority of professional bodybuilders and most experienced weight lifters.

Is there anything similar in the science of anti-aging? Where (A) The body of research is large, well established, and mostly uncontroversial; (B) The benefits and safety profile are good; (C) The majority of people who are serious about this stuff use it/take it/do it.
You're conflating two things and that is probably my fault.

The list of books here is shallow. Asking a few investment professionals would have got them to a better list, IMHO. If they don't care about investment, why write it?

Separate to that. The economist is flipping terrible. Beyond, shallow, actually very, very wrong in obvious ways on anything you know about - that kind of lack of depth of understanding. Someone here asked me why I think the economist worse than other news and I guess its because I take it more personally how messed up they are because in the broadest possible sense they accord to similar politics and ideology to myself. A lefty friend of mine, who is intelligent and sensible put me onto it with respect their incessant drum beating for every possible war. Iran, North Korea, Russia, China, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq - all of them and more. It was suggested to me to look at one current event in a small amount of depth, the kind you'd expect a journalist to be able to match. Eg, join twitter [1], follow some people who seem to know things, read their links critically, anything good you find, follow the author, cull that list of anyone you later decide is not up to much. Then go read the economist on it with a view to just finding the number of salient and important facts that you would use yourself to form a view and think it ridiculous to leave out that the economist somehow manages not to note at all. It didn't make me a lefty but I sure changed my ideas on the economist dramatically.

Try it yourself one day. There's shallow because depth is impossible in x hundreds words and there's deeply misleading in beautiful language.

Pick A.I. or Microchips fabs, or Julian Assange, or Electric Vehicles or end to end encryption or anything you want to know a little more about. Do the work for a few evenings first then go to the economist's take.

YMMV of course it may. Mine sure suddenly did.

Raft does not Guarantee Liveness in the face of Network Faults (2020)
> So if Janet refactored the interpreter to use linked lists

Which interpreter do you mean? A Lisp interpreter, which runs Lisp source code or a byte code interpreter?

Lisp is defined that it processes lists, either compiled or interpreted.

I'm looking at interpreted Lisp code in a debugger:

CL-USER 19 : 1 > :lambda
(LAMBDA (A) (DECLARE (SYSTEM::SOURCE-LEVEL #<EQ Hash Table{0} 8010058C43>)) (DECLARE (LAMBDA-NAME FOO)) (SETF A (+ 10 A)) (BREAK) (+ A 20))

CL-USER 20 : 1 > (car (nthcdr 5 *))
(BREAK)

The code which is interpreted, is Lisp code in the form of lists. Lists are processed in user programs and the implementation itself processes Lisp code in the form of lists. Both are using the same list data structure, the same representation of the list data structure and the same primitive operators for it.

For me that's the core of Lisp.

If the language and its implementation does not process lists, then don't call it to be a "List Processor".

The point is if you can export the key from the HSM then it no longer requires that HSM as the exported key and MYPASSWORDS.txt can be bundled together. Knowing the contents of that bundle is a single factor of authentication.
They're recommending Nicotinamide Riboside which has been implicated in increasing cancers.

My heuristics researching supplements, nootropics, longevity, are that the lab-created substances are more often than not, new and poorly studied, leading to eventual realization of more harm than they treat. Most recent, to me, was Alpha-GPC causing strokes.
Is there such a thing as a system that’s too reliable?

That would work only as long as the route does not change over time, and does not depend on which direction the packet is going. They probably did not want to make that assumption in the protocol, even if it turned out to hold most of the time in practice.
Unfortunately the UK is no longer in the European Union, so their plug is never going to be unified.

The EU seriously considered unifying wall sockets, but in the end it turned out to not really be worth the effort. Most devices have either a Europlug or CEE 7/7 plug, which are compatible with virtually all wall sockets in the EU.

Italy and Denmark are slowly switching their proprietary wall sockets to the more common Schuko variant, if I recall correctly, so improving it isn't impossible!
Was that due to bootloader issues or just because there's no official support (It's not actually listed on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung) ? FWIW I have it running on a 2nd hand s10e and it's not flawless, but still pretty good.

The commitment to sprints was literally the first thing that got dropped in our company. It's so nonsensical to create completely arbitrary deadlines without any real urgency.

We now have long sprints (~1 months) for reviews and retrospectives. Which are usually well received. You get to see what all the other teams have been doing, and you also get a formal chance to talk about any problems.

I went down on this thought once, and I became antiscience. Reasoning-wise I only trust what I can understand, simple highschool level reasoning. Anything that I can't understand, and is more sophisticated than a highschool level reasoning I don't trust. I mean, sure, there are facts that need complicated statistical methods. But I can't check them, I don't trust authority, (and probably they are more often wrong than right anyway, because they need results or they starve to death), so I reject them/I am ambivalent.

Before I gave in and just bought the iPad I bought one of those two-in-one laptops that you can use like a tablet thinking, well, this is even better, I can use this for both. Of course in reality it was awkward to use as a tablet and Windows isn’t that suited for it so I never actually did that and didn’t use it as much as I planned. The iPad I use all the time. I’m sure that’s part of the reason they don’t try to get Mac OS on the iPad (though yeah, not cannibalizing sales is also welcome).

You didn't need machine learning to let people know that it was mostly pneumonia, just common sense. These results are still good news, though, as it does provide further confirmation to what was already really obvious from the very beginning. The pseudoscientists in the pseudoscientific field of virology just slapped a label of Covid 19 to anything that shared similar symptoms to any winter associated illness prior to the religious fake Covid 19 hysteria, including pneumonia.
Just read the book, I like the way she did it, it starts out easy with what eBPF is, how it works, using short examples for both the low-level under the hood stuff, but also how to actually use it. It doesn't deviate much from this pattern, which is a good thing for such a relatively short book, and she gets to cover a lot of ground that way. It is still a "beginners" eBPF book, but sets the stage for further development through the references or alternative books.

I can highly recommend it if you're eBPF curious =D I guess my only gribe is that the latter parts of the book, is a bit product heavy, but done in the most tasteful manner it could probably have been done, i.e. using it as examples on how to use eBPF.
I fired up Turbo Pascal 7.0 and the compiler says 'Error 85: ";" expected.' if you continue your "program xyz" declaration with a newline and type "begin" without a semicolon in-between; I think this is the setup for triggering the error message.

Your lifespan has already been artificially extended. It’s nearly twice the maximum of 10,000 years ago when most people were nomadic, and about 20–25% longer than that of the ancient Greeks, who retired from their militia at 65 only if they made it that long.

And most of that life is spent in healthy youth and middle age, not in continual decline. Today we expect to become elderly in our 70s or 80s, and then die. The Greeks became elderly in their 60s or even earlier. Is it so hard to believe that in another 100 years people could be living to their 90s or 100s before age catches up with them?
Good luck, i hope you succeed.
The median lifespan is ~77 years but some people live to ~115. That's quite a difference. Some of that may be genetics but not all of it. The median person who dies at 95 is doing something different than the median person who dies at 60. The least we can do is find out what.

And maybe if we do, someone could live to be 130, or still be in good health at 95.
I've used Character AI (https://beta.character.ai) and been seriously impressed with the roleplaying experience that's provided there. A UX feature that really helped was the ability to "swipe left" on a reply and "re-roll" it- this can help keep the AI from getting off topic, or retry when it gives "Eliza" type responses, ie

"AI: Are you ready for your karate practice?
User: Definitely, let's get started!
AI: Great, what sort of things do you think we should do at karate practice?"

If you squint a bit and are willing to provide a little guidance in the form of leading questions, you really can have some pretty fun RP experiences, I've spent hours at this point doing little scenes and I've been really surprised at the wealth of different experiences that the AIs are capable of providing.

Other caveat of course is that it's not really suited to "longform" RP, I can't imagine it scaling to a "campaign" that you return to multiple times per month over the course of a year- I think this is a limitation of the tech at this point, as far as I know the LLM basically is always re-reading the entire chat history to generate the next response and presumably eventually this stops being feasible.
> parts of the human body will decay and over time the will to live will drop.

parts of the human body also evolve and strengthen over time, unfortunately evolution also made them decay after some point, that's what we're trying to fix.

> you're taking an event that typically comes as a natural part of life and is out of your control..

this whole paragraph could apply to any physical problem. You were born with XYZ health problem? just accept your fate, it's natural. You got bit by a dog? Natural, just accept your fate. You got an infection? why even bother taking antibiotics, you're just forcing yourself to live longer
I don't disagree with that at all, in principle.

"I should get to live longer and everyone else can rot" would be a particular sort of evil.

However what I don't agree with is going from there to "unless everyone can have it, noone can". An awful lot of medicine is not (yet) available to everyone in the world, and while I think it should be, and we should work towards every last human being having access to free, socialised healthcare of the highest quality, you won't find me calling for denying cancer treatments to those in wealthy nations because other nations can't foot the bill.

By far the most important thing in anti aging that checks all boxes is excercise and getting nutrition right (no excess fat).

Most of the interesting stuff happens when you focus on just A part: Yamanaka factors are both super powerful, established as reversing the probably most important hallmark of aging and super dangerous (causes cancer) at the same time.

What's promising is the pace of research: in 20 years there's a good chance to have real safe anti-aging available, but we still need to survive until then.

Like all things, it's about balance. In this case, NR was recommended as a cheaper alternative to NMN, I believe, though one can take Nicotinamide and Ribose separately IIRC (ribose is expensive either way, lol. Tastes great though, a very, very fancy sugar indeed).

As far as cancer goes, basically half of the solutions here will cause cancer. That doesn't mean they're bad. Anything involving the body is extraordinarily nonlinear, so extrapolation is extremely hard in a variety of circumstances. You can find a study involving almost everything you consume and take linking it to a variety of things, it's just whether or not it's relevant to people in the doses and in the duration that they take them.

Especially on the cancer side of things, that's just a very delicate matter to be handled. Cleaning things up in theory should reduce the risk of cancer overall, even if ingredients on their own at some dose could cause issues.

A lot of these compounds have been around for or have been studied for 40-50 years or so. Some of the long-term effects are harder to pinpoint, but I'd be careful in seeking too much caution (in the same way I'd encourage someone not to go headlong throwing stuff into their bodies for no good reason). It's really easy to find nonlinear red lights for almost anything in medicine, in my (albeit limited) personal experience.
