My experience with them is mixed. I’ve had a couple of theirs and they’ve been markedly inaccurate in some categories. For example, reporting I was not in bed when I actually was, or vice verse on other nights. As a result, the sleep hours were off. I still love it for the temperature control (set to manual, not their ‘auto’ algorithms), but if it can’t reliably report something as simple as whether I’m in or out of bed, then accurately judging sleep stages should be even less likely.

My oura ring has been far more helpful in identifying patterns leading to less quality sleep. For example , by highlighting elevated resting heart rates and asking me if I ate later that night, consumed spicy foods or alcohol, etc. That said, it’s not terribly durable. After a couple years it refused to accept firmware updates. Then a few weeks ago (after maybe 3 years of use) it stopped connecting to the app altogether and support tickets are going unanswered. This is greatly disappointing but I may spring for a replacement anyway because of how helpful it’s been in correlating lifestyle choices to sleep parameters (& quite consistently so).
Awesome work, thank you Will.
And that picture of Trogan... beautiful!
The problem is that microfluidic devices are not a panacea, they usually behave really badly with some solvents or reagents and especially with polymers work they tend to clog.
The transport system has the same issue you need to resuspend, evaporate, quench or other treatments and that's hard to automate especially for viscous or hard samples.

ML could assist with the definition of conditions and eventually the interpretation of the analytical data, but not at all with all the physical processing which is where the difficulty really is.
This is not the same thing as swift-corelibs-foundation, which is the old project that stalled out. The officially announced plan here is for it to fully replace the old implementation of Foundation.
The materialist claim is that a bot can have subjective experience.
This is a bit confusing. Everybody dies, poor or not. Poor people are not over-represented in death statistics.

A meaningful measure would have been "being poor means dying X years earlier, give or take Y, compared to median wealth".
Thanks for your reply. Yes, Alan Dean Foster has written some of the better Star War series stuff.

I only read a little bit of Three-body Problem a few years ago. Perhaps more character based stories are more your thing.
I disagree. If you're a private company, it means that you don't owe anyone outside your company details on your financial performance, and that your shares aren't floated.

But if you, the private company, sold a percentage of your property to someone, then that someone most definitely has the right to sell their shares to someone else. You the private company still don't have to disclose your financials to anyone.

I think any non-transferability agreement is pure bullshit. I feel bad that OP has to now fight to get whats already his.
Passion for working is different then coding or hacking on stuff or w/e you call it.

Personally, I like learning how things work and doing things at my own pace. Expecting passion for integrating SaaS apis and working with legacy code is not the tech that got me interested, I want to clock out of that ASAP.
Yes GLM, agents and Bayesian models have been used in process chemistry, food chemistry and pharma for quite a while.
What's the point of the technology if it will provide an answer regardless of the accuracy? And what prevents this from being dangerous when the factual and ficticious answers are indistinguishable?
I think you're assuming that all of this legalese is well-understood beforehand. I was pretty young and new to the startup scene when I joined this company. I didn't know what a 83b election is or a 409a valuation, let alone the terms of limited transferability.

By the time the company was a success, I could either leave the stock on the table or purchase it since it's worth a lot more money than I'm paying for it.

I agree that I'm on the shitty-end of this contract. Chris Voss says people only appeal to fairness when they've got nothing else. lol. And I'm there. I signed up for this and I wasn't knowledgable enough to negotiate my options agreement contract when I joined.

But the fact is, lots of people are probably in this same position. I'm told lots of people execute forward sales and companies don't care because they don't have to report it to the SEC and get another 409a. CEOs also like having a grip on their employees, holding a carrot in front of them to keep performing.

I suspect that at some point, there will be an interesting legal case here. Suppose I were to file for bankruptcy - what happens to these shares? How can I be bankrupt if I still own millions of dollars in company shares?

I'm not expert here, but I'm really curious what this landscape looks like.
From what I understand (far from an expert), 10 hours on average (meaning sometimes more) sounds biologically unnecessary, and possibly will yield diminishing returns past 7-8.

Of course, everyone is different and maybe there’s a reason you may benefit from more.

But I wonder if sleeping more than ~8 hours is a symptom of something else (and possibly contributing to why your parents don’t like it).

Curious if someone else more knowledgeable than I weighs in.

Also, it probably wouldn’t hurt to bring up with your doctor (e.g. annual evaluation). I usually bring up anything that I feel is considered “not normal” (whatever that is).

But again, I could be way off.

But it's mostly replacing Objective-C code which was already not particularly fast – as opposed to the C++ or C code used more often in performance- or memory-sensitive areas.

My experience with Swift is somewhat limited, because every time I've tried to use it, I've run into glaring performance issues and had to switch language. It might be reasonably performant compared to Go or .NET, but it's nothing like Rust.
try breathe-rite strips instead of flonase... works for my allergies, might work for yours.
Yes. This is intended to be a reimplementation of Foundation with the same API, including being usable from obj-c. They've added a few compiler features recently to cover the gaps where there were some kinds of obj-c types that couldn't be defined from Swift.
> The thing is type hints in Python are less a code quality feature and more a quality of life feature for developers.

They are absolutely a code quality feature.

> As long as I've got descriptive argument names and docstrings I can just tell you how to use a method.

Yes, you can, but that doesn’t seem to be germane to the argument, since “it is possible to communicate intended use without typing” doesn’t support your QoL vs. code quality argument.

With typing, the type-checker can statically find potential errors in your description, or in my attempt to follow it—that’s a code quality feature. (Of course, that it does provide a description, and a better chance that the description is correct, is also a QoL issue.)
> Pain (and related feelings) cannot be definitively reduced to computation.

This is an assumption. Sensation cannot currently be observed, definitively.
I did the Swift tutorial a short while ago and it was a breeze. I found it more approachable than Rust (I do like Rust).

Such legislation isn't theoretical or difficult, India already has their new IT law rules:

>The IT rules 2021 provide for creating avenues for grievance redressal apart from Courts and ensure that the Constitutional rights of Indian citizens are not contravened by any Big-tech Platform by ensuring new accountability standards for SSMIs.

>During the extensive public consultations on the ITRules, the Minister of State for Electronics & Information Technology and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar had articulated the stand of the Government that - safety and trust of every Digital Nagrik, and robust grievance redressal system to ensure accountability of all Internet platforms offering a service or product, was an unambiguous goal and that all grievances must be 100% addressed.

>The Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC) is a critical piece of overall policy and legal framework to ensure that Internet in India is Open, Safe & Trusted and Accountable. The need for GAC was created due to large numbers of grievances being left unaddressed or unsatisfactorily addressed by Internet Intermediaries. GAC is expected to create a culture of responsiveness amongst all Internet Platforms and Intermediaries towards their consumers.

It’s that “or” that bites you if you aren’t real sure of the semantics in play.
That's what he'll be asking himself everyday once it starts to hit hard
You're talking about REM sleep, not deep sleep. The article is talking about (I believe) the N3 stage of non-rem sleep, which is when the surrounding space around cerebral arteries expand and cerebral spinal fluid outside those arteries with flush out toxins

During this stage of sleep, neurons also fire in unison at a slow frequency on the order of 1Hz

I don't think that happens in REM sleep, which actually looks more like wakefullness than the N3 stage, but with certain aspects of cognition shut off (like the rational part, and the motor activation part)
So Intel wants to branch AMDx86-64?
Wow even in your wild response you are still not understanding my original comment. I likened your quote about photographers just hitting the button to how non tech people liken coding to just typing a few things. I didn't say you were being condescending against programmers.

Tbh it seems like you have some personal issues to work out with how far out of left field you've taken this. Good luck.
While that’s possible, it would put severe limitations on what you can do. For example, it would be very difficult to parse nested input data and I don’t see how dynamic function Dispatch would be possible at all. I am not convinced that the benefits would outweigh the costs.
Yes that's already existing. High throughout screening of enzymes, sequences or reactions is common.
C and C++ dependency installation is "sub-optimal" but it is certainly well
understood. The fact that there are many cross platform, open source projects
written in C and C++ proves this.

Nope. It proves that people have found work arounds up to and including cargo culting things. Any large enough project is going to rely on something else to generate the makefiles, and if you depend on anything large enough you're gonna get stuck having to build and/or install whatever other makefile generators are required. Simply put it's an archaic mess.

If you can't deal with makefiles and scripts, maybe stick to Go and Rust?

To be clear it's not that I can't deal with makefiles it's that I don't find it a good use of my time*. Take, for instance, the FreeBSD ports tree. make(1) is its achilles heal and the main reason it's obscenely slow to deal with (even compared to something like portage). Besides, doing anything by hand is inherently error prone be it bounds checking array access or cobbling together dependency management.

* And, sure, in years past I wrote a drop-in replacement for automake/autoconf in perl whose big (speed) advantage was that it didn't spawn a new shell for each check. It was a neat hack, but that's all anything papering over the make(1) interface is.
Hi! This is Lina, also one of the cofounders. Would love to hear any feedback you may have and answer your questions! :)
> I think any non-transferability agreement is pure bullshit.

I feel that way about a lot of things. For example, I feel like forced arbitration clauses should be unenforceable.

But what I feel and what is legal aren't the same things, and when laying out a huge chunk of capital, it's important to understand the difference.
if your TV still has a sleep timer try using it. listening to boring/monotonous stuff at low volume helps me fall asleep too.

Maybe paste some more. The giant definition of Transfer is fine, and then it says “you can’t transfer unless it’s according to the rules of this section”

So what are the rules of the section? The definition is not the rules.

I've found playing Magic the Gathering improves my ability on this. There is chess, too...but IMO you encounter more novel situations more often in MTG where things will cost you. It's interesting in the sense that sometimes things proceed in a very straight forward manner, but usually (sometimes unknowingly, if you're not careful) there are several branches to take, and doing things just slightly sub-optimally will cost you big in the end. Some games every decision is crucial...do a mulligan this hand knowing what he's playing, I can play 3 different lands on turn one, but which one best sets me up for how this match is likely to proceed, etc. I still don't think I'm naturally good at this, but I've noticed I've been able to better force myself into a mindset to be very deliberate for short periods on account of it.
Swift has been a hugely successfully language.

Mostly at slowing down iOS runtime performance per clock cycle, and increasing compilation times.

Its also been hugely successful at punishing companies for using it, since it didnt really work for a few versions.

While there have been fewer crashes (sort of) due to the switch, as someone who worked for years in Objective C and years in Swift, I honestly never felt that Swift significantly improved much except allocation rituals and properties.

I do however enjoy Kotlin for the backend because it has some nicer semantics for object construction.

While I do admire the work that Apple has put into Swift, I really felt that Apple was trying to "impress everyone", with a whole lot of bikeshedding and sick amoutns of code generation to convince us it was the right thing to do.

Frankly, apps run over 10 times faster in obj C and xcode with Swift is probably my least favorite and sort of non-ergonomic experience close to DOS batch file dev in Windows Notepad.
I’ve had so many doctors over the years and have lived in many different states. Does Picnic Health find my records even if I can’t recall my doctor’s names or do I have to tell them every office they need to contact? I’m not sure if doctors report patient records to some central authority, which would obviously make this work much easier.
What other system could possibly work? Even a faster system would still be slightly behind “reality”. Things must happen before they can be perceived.
I work in human genetics and largely wonder the same thing. Short of sequencing your own genome, I'm not enthusiastic about most privacy policies.

To add context, I also am involved in public large-scale genetic studies (as a participant who has provided genetic data) such as All Of Us. There, I have no misapprehension that people will be studying my data.

I'm just saying that on the commercial side of things, I haven't found a satisfying consumer-facing way to pay for sequencing as a service (where I'm not trying to sequence at scale) without any strings attached.
Can anyone recommend some good Soviet/Russian Sci-Fi? Obviously, it would have to be available in English translation.
My passion was sucked away by leetcode interviews, BS management processes, writing more JIRA tickets than code and ineffective management mistakenly thinking PIPs will somehow produce better output and improve team morale.

The reality is that this industry operates with a factory worker mentality. It is no surprise to me that young people don't care about programming. It just isn't valued.

Very interesting! I generally avoid coffee after the morning since I know I'm sensitive to it, but your link points to the specific gene I have that causes it. I wonder if I should reduce my caffeine intake even in the morning. Is there a good way to find out other relevant genes without uploading my 23andMe data to unknown websites?

> Personally, I think it's very fishy that a company would be allowed to sell a non-employee shares that they can't resell to someone else

OP explicitly says they were an employee and had to exercise options when (implicitly, immediately before) they left not to lose them, so this isn’t an issue of sale to a non-employee.
It’s really not that hard to make good looking stuff with these AI image generators, you just need the right models. The reason you struggled is because the basic stable diffusion model creates really ugly stuff by default. Try using a model from civit.ai and you’ll get much better results… or for even easier results, just use midjourney where literally everything that comes out of it looks fantastic.
The worst part is that there isn't a well-defined point where you can say "I'd like to have a medically-assisted suicide" that isn't going to upset people (assuming it were legal). By the time you reach it, you quite possibly won't have the cognitive capacity to request it.
Everyone pays for Google, just not necessarily via their credit card.

And to be blunt: Considering the vital nature of email to modern communications and livelihood, if free email cannot include a method to regain access, free email should not exist. The amount of damage Google just not caring about people's problems causes is immense.
The problem of negatives in chemistry is complicated.

Sometimes the negatives (or positives) are due to experimental problems (clogged pipette, a drop of something that jumped from another well, a defect in a plate...) or to artifacts (your reaction detection mechanism gets impacted by something in your reagents not the final products). There are ways to go around that, but in many High throughput screening approaches at least for the first step when you have millions of samples you don't do as many controls as possible because of cost and time.

There is a lot of complexity in wet science such as purity of your reagents or degradation which if you lack quality controls (because of cost or sloppyness) makes you not trust the results of other groups than yours.

A lot of HTS programs I saw in the pharma industry they would screen stuff and then look at what it is because after decades in DMSO in a fridge, clerical errors and experimental mistakes a lot of molecules weren't what it was supposed to be.

The matter of literals being interceptable due to using the current value of globals like Array was fixed across the board over a decade ago. You don’t need to worry about it in the slightest.

(Exploits also depended on a form of cross-site request forgery that (a) has been well-understood and avoided for fifteen years now (and with a perfect solution available for five years via the SameSite cookie attribute), so if you’re affected you very probably messed up in other exploitable ways too, and (b) is often even protected by default now: Chromium switched the default to SameSite=Lax in early 2020, so the sensitive cookie would need to be explicitly set with SameSite=None in order to be vulnerable at all. Safari and Firefox haven’t yet shipped this behaviour, though they all agree they want to, since it does break some older sites.)
This paper is not on sci-hub. :(

The abstract sounds correlational.

The quotes from the researchers at the top of the article say explicitly that it's casual. The later parts of the article describing the paper go back to sounding correlational.

Honestly, I do feel for you, if only because I was fortunate enough, when I was young and in a similar position, to have a mentor I could talk to who took me through some of the important concepts. As a result, I understood the gamble I was taking and could make the decision with reasonably complete information.

One thing I will say: if you get the chance, be that mentor to someone else in the future. You may be stuck learning an expensive lesson, but hopefully you can prevent someone else from doing the same some day.
The problem is that each new encroachment isn't enough to be outraged by if you take it one at a time out of context. That's how you threaten privacy without anyone noticing. That's how you convince people to be okay with having zero expectation of privacy by choice.

The privacy advocates were yelling "the wolf is 200 meters away!". And you were saying "it's so far away, stop being so paranoid". And then the privacy advocates were yelling "the wolf is 100 meters away now!" And you said the same. You see where this is going. Now the wolf is 50m away. And tomorrow it will be 25. How much closer does it have to get before you act?

There is no reason to wait until the wolf is about to kill you in order to act. In fact, it's the worst possible time.
