> I have stage 4 lung cancer. I'm not "battling" cancer. It's not a "battle." It's stage 4. Cancer will eventually win.

Personal feelings aside, your body is literally fighting an alien immortal invader.
what chemo tries to do is to kill the cancerous cells.
That's were the "battle" metaphor comes from.

It's not a game of chess.

Anyway, depending on the type of cancer, stage 4 survival rates are improving year over year. It's something we are getting better and better at treating, because we are collectively not surrendering to a death sentence without putting up a fight against the things that try to kill us to try'n literally kill them before they do it.

Now, I come from a family of people who mostly worked in healthcare, cancer might be a sensitive topic, I can understand that, but nobody gets annoyed if we say that someone is battling COVID or fighting for their life after an accident that put them in a coma.

It's a battle, literally, not because the patients are heroes or warriors or something like that, but because it is literally what's happening inside our bodies when they stop functioning normally.

Take what I'll say next in the most charitable way possible, please. I am not native English speaker and I might make mistakes and miss a lot of the nuances I want to convey.

Not dying is always a victory, no matter the reason your life is in danger. Death will eventually win, but that's no reason to give up.

I wish you all the best.

For a lot of people, it's kind of a choice of which substance you are going to be dependent on. It's all expensive and sad, but between Ozempic and cigarettes, alcohol, or overeating, Ozempic has got to be healthier, and quite possibly cheaper in the long run.
Going to be huge when it goes off patent off exclusivity. I'd also expect you'll be able to get it when it's made in jurisdictions that will ignore the patent. Up to you to get it from those places, either via mail or travel runs.
I've used pv before to down-throttle a massive wipe of old database entries in production. Doing it full-speed would have killed the site for active users.
I live in a country with one of the richest water tables in the world. Due to (a forecasted!) drought and lack of planning we're literally running out of water to drink. It's like Saudi Arabia running out of oil, absolutely shameful.
I'm surprised Ozempic gets all the press. Supposedly Mounjaro is all that and more.

The wonderful Paul Ford has the best writeup I've seen that discusses these more meta levels, the post-human implications of a drug we can genuinely widescalely reprogram ourselves with. Paul's so great.

I can't wait until Europe pays for it's own defense. I love that Europeans kept empires as long as it was profitable and then just ran away and left America to deal with the issues/conflict borders they created and then have the nerve to criticize the USAs trying to keep the world going, yet Europeans don't even have the morals to ban their corporations from using bribes/kickbacks to get overseas contracts (instead they get to deduct that expense from their taxes).
Actual press release: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-blue-origin-...

NASA needs multiple lander options; putting all their cards on a lunar Starship landing was always a bit ridiculous, even if it seems reasonably likely to happen. So if you want the Artemis program to actually succeed, this is likely a good thing. However, with Congress in a deadlock around the debt ceiling, and SLS costing $4B per launch, this is only going to add to Artemis's serious funding challenges.

If you're interested in the space industry in general, I'll cover this more next week in the weekly Orbital Index newsletter (https://orbitalindex.com) which I co-author with blach.
Hopefully to bring them back, too.
I doubt it would happen. But I imagine even if it did, the more secretive organisations and people become, the more there will be to earn to be the one sharing, which should ensure a certain balance. A prisoner dilemma that works in society favor for once.
I don’t think your take is wrong, but using Trump (who became President despite losing the popular vote in 2016) as an example of how citizens hold the power is an amusing way to express that sentiment.
You can buy it as a "research chemical" and save money, but then the potential consequences of diy medicine and all that that entails are all on you.

It hasn't solved the problem of affordability. Rent and condo and house prices are some the highest in the world. You end up just building housing for foreign investors to make money off the locals.

> If that's true, I wonder why the market hasn't corrected. With the prices Pis have had lately, I would expect them to go from drawers to ebay quickly.

My personal explanations (I do believe there is a grain of truth in each of them, but you have to take them all together to get an explanation):

- A lot of the RPi boards that lie around in the drawers are older versions in which many buyers are less interested.

- Many buyers are hesitant to buy used RPis because something might be broken with them; this risk (and attempting to get a refund) is not worth the trouble.

- In countries where there are complicated taxation laws and strong(er) customer protection laws, many hobbyists do not consider it to be worth the (felt) potential legal trouble to put their RPis on eBay.

I don't see the problem. They apparently believe in a low margin, high volume play with support being a volume driver. They might be right or wrong, but I wouldn't want it to be illegal as a business model. Investors and companies have to be free to lose money or else we've just got a centrally planned economy where every business has to offer the same product at the same price.
IANAIA (...not an Intelligence Analyst), but on top of all the routine crypto failures (crummy "256-bit" crypto algorithm, or flawed implementation, or weak keys, or stolen keys, or ...), I can quickly think of:

- EM Side channels - if an ultra-sensitive antenna & receiver aimed at the Motorola radio can pick up any leaked signals from its internal electronics, then... This might only work on a small percentage of the units - due to a flawed production run at Motorola, or too-permissive QC standards, or poorly maintained kit, etc.

- Audio Intercepts - whether fancy parabolic mics, bugs hidden near Ukrainian forward observers, or the old "bounce the laser off the windowpane" trick.

- Concentrated Effort - the supercomputer and/or custom hardware needed to actually break the crypto may be far beyond what is viable for sustained, widespread use. But for either a PR boost, or if the Russians can convince the Ukrainians to cease use of their "easily broken" crypto...

- Cover Story - the Russians are obtaining the data without actually breaking the crypto...but certainly ain't stupid enough to talk about their actual methods.
At a technological level there is no difference. If there's a reliable mechanism for geo-walling content they can carve up the map however they wish. Nothing says it can only follow national borders.
I work in data privacy and grc. First, a random middle manager cannot simply peek at customer prod data, that’s seriously locked down. Second, attempting to do this would get you immediately terminated.
> By declining on procedural grounds

This wasn’t decided on procedural grounds, but on substantive grounds. The fact that it was decided on a different substantive question than some people wanted it to be doesn’t make it procedural.
qsort() is pretty slow if you're sorting something like long[]. In that case, radix sort goes 5x faster and vectorized quicksort goes 10x faster. If you're sorting int[] then vectorized quicksort goes 25x faster than qsort(). Nothing goes faster. The issue is it's a big ugly c++ monstrosity that's a huge pain to compile.
But the AI has already got it.

Oh my God! This is happening to other people?! I thought my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)'s GPU was failing!

I had been running all sorts of diagnostics to figure out what needs to be replaced or if I only have a few more moments with my 5K iMac.

It's been seriously making me mad since Apple has failed to update this product in their line.
> It's always sampling from an existing distribution of relevant data points -- that's necessarily how its working.

I work in this field and 'sampling from an existing distribution of relevant data points' is just wrong and you have no way to say that is 'necessarily how its working' apriori in a world where implicit regularization exists.

Not going to engage with the labor-theory of value bit because I think it is not particularly relevant to the disagreement I raised and not one with a 'right' answer.
Possibly, but I don't think I'd read the tea leaves that way.

As much as people complain about activist judges on the bench, SCOTUS does a pretty good job, most of the time, of following the evolved purpose of their Court to rule as narrowly as possible to resolve the open question of law. This case specifically was ill-designed to probe 230 because the underlying claim of culpability was cobweb-thin. And the Court is guided by the arguments made in front of them; while plaintiffs certainly wanted this to hinge on 230, the defense made a very reasonable case based on "In what parallel universe are networks considered to have culpability because they made money indirectly by being the middlemen for someone else's recruitment video?" Might as well sue Goodyear for making the tires that went on the van used in the attack.

There are other cases in the pipeline that will test 230 more directly than this one. This one doesn't even get to the point where questions of S230 law are under scrutiny because the civil tort law used didn't apply.
Nice! I just started building something very similar on top of React Flow last weekend.
ChatGPT is disallowed by default at pretty much every large company, just like every other external service that isn't explicitly approved and hasn't signed a contract. Apple employees aren't allowed to use their personal Dropbox account for storing corporate documents either, for example.

All such articles you see are just security teams clarifying the existing policy – you weren't allowed to use it before and you are not allowed to use it now. It's only noteworthy because it has ChatGPT in the title.
They will find some way to prevent people from acquiring it and promote some other in-patent drug.
I do think there will/should be a reckoning about the how training data is acquired and attributed. For example, LLMs could attempt to cite sources, or share ad revenue fractionally with all the sources of that inform the response they're presenting.

I think that as the magic wears off it's becoming clearer that LLMs are more like fancy search engine UIs than intelligent agents. They surface, remix, and mash up content that everyone else created, without the permission of the creators.

That doesn't mean there won't be economic fallout. Spotify may have figured out legal streaming - but the music industry is still much smaller than it was in the 90s
I think you assume that a designer can't also understand math, ratios and scale. Many practical designers are also engineers.

This is the right approach, but there’s lots of complexity around transcoding. In the courtroom that’s less of an issue if you can get the original unmodified outputs, but broader applications need to think through what it means to be “verified”
C arrays suck on the best of days and qsort requires that you understand function pointers and types which are some of the hairiest C syntax in common use. The C Clockwise Spiral rule is truly special.

It's easy to lose sight of the climb once you're at the top.
Probably because it's MUCH easier to code bubblesort without making mistakes that cause it to not terminate or some such. Especially if they are writing the bootloader in assembly.

For something mission critical like a bootloader that's more valuable than turning O(n^2) into O(n log n). People running systems like BSD largely don't care how long the system takes to boot, once it's booted the system runs for years.

The Formula 1 Tech Talks had a discussion of heat dissipation in the cars. The interesting part was the limited space available between engine shape and aero requirements means that a lot of very hot parts are squeezed together.

What exactly are the implications of the trust, as opposed to him just remaining a direct shareholder and handing off the reigns? Did the trust let him get some liquidity out of his shares somehow? He's still on the board in both scenarios, and it seems like he'll retain voting power.

But kudos - I'm glad he didn't want to just sell to some private equity vampire group. And I'm glad he gets to do whatever he wants (is he retiring?).
dd is the command to use when transferring bootable images onto USB dongles for installations; when working with embedded boards, especially for testing, one can use it like 20 times or more in a single day. Having a progress feedback isn't vital per se, but becomes useful when using by mistake a slow USB dongle, or plugging it in the wrong, slower, port.
These days you could probably get away with a handheld video and NeRF software if you wanted to add a missing place to this thing.

Very impressive work from OP! And cool suggestion from you.
The extracted colors were used in a few different ways:

1. product search - show me "red" shirts.

We also mapped certain hues to "saturated", "muted", "pastel" etc... meta colors based on HSV values. Unfortunately, we never got to surfacing these meta colors as search facets.

2. similar product recommendations - show me shirts similar to this one. colors (and meta colors like "muted") were one of the features used in similar product recs.

3. analytics - turquoise is "trending"
What a tragic waste of human effort and potential.
This is something that I’d say should mostly be handled in the font, and nowhere else. Variable fonts have the optical size (opsz) axis, which you can use to tweak things like glyph thickness and tracking based on the font size. It’s like full hinting used to be, but even better. I’d like to see operating systems move to defaulting to fonts that work this way.

I find your example interesting, but I hate things overriding letter-spacing like that, because it generally looks bad, and definitely looks bad in my chosen fonts. Need to finish off my article railing against people changing letter-spacing on body text, which is ridiculously common and always a bad idea. Line-height you take a bit too far, but the general concept of “larger text means smaller line-height” is one I wish more people understood. I’ve become partial to `* { line-height: calc(1em + 0.5rem) }` in the last year, which I find to work quite nicely as a single definition. For colour, it’s an interesting thing to consider, but I think it’s mostly the wrong solution—optical size s the proper solution for most of it, and my experience is actually that larger text normally wants to have a stronger colour rather than a weaker, because it’s a heading. But the interactions between font sizes and contrast in various guises is absolutely relevant, and I’m glad that the successor to WCAG’s terrible colour contrast technique, APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm), takes font size into account in considering what makes for acceptable contrast.
It sure is best practice, with them still costing like 4x msrp to get your hands on thanks to the neverending shortage.

It's not the only GLP-1 agonist out there. Victoza is another GLP-1 agonist and should be going generic in the US in a little over a year. It might already be available as a generic outside the US. There might be other GLP-1 agonists that are going generic soon as well.
This is with dd though, which will print the progress with a USR1 signal. It's not for other binaries.
Get a high refresh rate (<1ms latency) LCD/LED monitor. This is by far the most important. It took a while to catch up to CRT latency, and it's still sold as a niche product, but we are there.

If you are in Linux, you may want to turn off your display compositor (KDE/XFCE), or use a lightweight xorg window manager like fluxbox or i3. This isn't necessary when using a fast GPU, but even then you may dislike animations.

Use a text editor with a real GUI toolkit (not electron or similar) like emacs or gvim/nvim-qt. Unfortunately, emacs can struggle rendering syntax highlighting, but outside that it is lean and snappy. Hopefully the recent progress with tree-sitter will resolve that.

I have met very few people who care about latency the way I do. I think most of it comes from my nostalgia of DOS-era computing. The most satisfying hardware purchase I have ever made is a good looking 2K IPS/VA 120hz/144hz+ freesync display. Millions of hours of my life experience were noticeably improved.
> But that's true of every vendor you work with, in just about any capacity.

Yes, that was part of my point.

Contracts are a mechanism that are heavily relied upon, no question about it. But their role is really more about making the terms of a deal crystal clear. In terms of legal enforceability, that is certainly a very important thing, but it's not like contract are a panacea. As the old saying goes, a contract is only as good as your ability to enforce it is, and lots of contract violations go unpunished simply because the one who was violated can't afford to sue.
Spain. Pretty sure it's very different
Ozempic has been around longer and there were a bunch of celebrities taking it and talking about it on twitter so I think it has more cultural cachet. Most people probably don't know about mounjaro, I don't even think it's approved for weight loss yet.

OpenAI does address this: paying for API access [0] means that OpenAI does not use your data for training any models [1], while using ChatGPT directly at chat.openai.com does share your data for training by default. However, you can turn this off in settings[2], but companies would probably not be comfortable with this option.

As far as I can tell, the build quality is the same: fully metallic enclosure with printed keys unlike the double-injection molded ones on the HP originals. The DM41X was released with just one font, one emulating the segmented 'font' of the HP41. This one appears to have improved that by allowing different, easier to read fonts.
Ventilation systems are also part of the problem
After a few hours of play, I found the game extremely tedious and gave up. I don't want to build a raft from scratch every time I come to a river, or maybe I would if the building system wasn't so cumbersome to use. Also the, "your weapon breaks every few seconds" gets old real quick.

But It seems like I'm in the minority; people really like games that have a lot of tedium to them.
