I am not a doctor, but I'm guessing that your experiment would solve some problems and create others. If the immune system has nothing to deal with, it may deal cause more autoimmune problems (see the "hygiene hypothesis").
It absolutely does. It almost looks like a MLM scheme with at least depth of 1. Let's say you earn $100/hr using my tool. If I as the author/seller of the tool claim $1/hr for tool usage (I understand it is much less than that, but just go with my statement) in the form of subscription, I continue to get the buck as long as you use the tool. As a developer, I am paying the tool author perpetually for the work "I" do. I believe I should have an option to say, NO. This is precisely what is stopped by perpetual license. I am not opposed to subscription, but I MUST have a way to pay it outright and call it a day.
Good idea! Though asking questions isn't really what I want. I want some kind of summary and or index and or list of stories I came up with etc.
I'm interested in the art-house, non-mainstream genres, mainly produced by independent studios (e.g. one of my all-time favourites is When father was away for business, by Emir Kusturica). Do you have any suggestions for trackers specialised in these types of movies?
Yeah, I believe you :) I'll with that in 10 years.
There are a lot of use cases in B2B with VR but they are not easy to sell.

I remember a long time ago Silicon Graphics used to build Reality Centers.
Their best sales pitch was some Oil company was building an Oil rig and using VR they could find - from blueprints - some valves were installed too high and that saved them a lot of money.

I worked for a company that had a software to scan train tunnels for inspection. It was cheaper and quicker than sending technicians there, but the interface -built on PowerBI was a pain. VR could be much better...

... but you need an easy way to build that App.

(btw if someone knows about it, just drop me message)
I assume they're trying to take the same approach most game consoles take (Nintendo is an exception here from what I understand) where they sell the hardware at a loss, and make their profit on licensing on game publishers. Here that'd be monetizing the "metaverse" to make their money. It's the razor and blades business model.

It's a whole other thing whether this will actually work out for them, because it depends on there being a captive market for the profitable half of the business model (the "metaverse" content).
I think there has been a terrible loss that is rarely acknowledged in that men in the western world can no longer have intimate friendships without having to defend their sexual orientation. Seinfeld's "Not that there's anything wrong with that" became a catchphrase for a reason but the line of thinking still exists.

I watched the "Tollywood" film RRR and it was startling and refreshing how much affection the two main male characters showed for each other. I don't know how Indian audiences reacted to it, but I guarantee that a lot of American viewers thought "so they're supposed to be gay, right?" The idea that male affection is merely a cover for closeted sexual attraction is pervasive in US culture.

It is one of my longstanding pain points, as my favorite authors ( Conan Doyle, Tolkien, Wodehouse ) show unabashedly close relationships between male characters and all my life I've heard insistences that the characters are actually gay and the authors were too repressed/cowardly to say so. It's tragic and I wish it was talked about more.

Men are under so much pressure to bottle up their feelings, and I think the negative side-effects of that are around us.
I dislike Apple's dock entirely, and think bringing it to Windows (whether cherry-picked aspects or just the whole hog) would be very irritating.
the operating environment is out of spec. that is an artificial product lifespan. unplanned obsolescence. cheaper to plan for replacements, until it isn’t.

bug reports can be submitted to the internet. no guarantees of effort are tied to such a report.

most importantly, outsourcing the issue is somewhat the issue itself.
They are both the same, because your neighbor contributes to mass surveillance. I don't feel that was worth highlighting at all because it's wrong.

This is an awesome tool, however, the pricing is lot costly to subscribe as most of these tools are already available for free.

* Ruler - Dimensions for Chrome
* Assets - Easily get from network tab
* Eyedropper - Digital color meter on MacOS
* Custom CSS - Stylebot for Chrome

The only tool that I personally don't know is the color palette from the page - but then Eyedropper itself can do it.

And thus comes the question, why should I pay $30 per month for tools that are available for free to a developer?

Every possible change to a car’s safety system will cause some deaths and save others… look at airbags.

The aggregate stats are the most important things to look at, especially for something like AEB which has the ability to save pedestrians, which as of late are getting mowed down more and more frequently.
It'd be odd for them to still be adding so much to task manager with the plan to remove it but I guess weirder things have happened. In regards to force quit to not be available to certain system apps, this is already the case in task manager today. Right now it's focused on "if you kill these the system will crash" type PIDs, but there is no need for Microsoft to make a separate interface to be able to extend this to more applications.

I want to invest in Odin but I see the velocity and growing mindshare that Zig has and I wonder if it's not better to settle for that.
Also how do you find the compile times?
I don’t want to make assumptions, but have you tried systems programming with LLMs?

A few years and everyone will be prompt engineers is laughable. I hope I can actually use it productively for more than unit tests in a few years.
So you mean if after 30 or so such subscriptions you only increase your productivity by 0.1% you still come out ahead?
I do, probably once per week or so.
How does one go about becoming a distributor of Quest products in countries which arent served at all by Meta? Considering I can leverage existing infrastructure and network connections to bring it to market?
And it works miraculously well. I have seen a very large Oracle DB with many reads and many updates migrate with no effects outside of a big spike in sql execution times for the few hundred milliseconds it takes between the source pause and the destination resume. Seen various GCP bugs, mostly VPN and pub sun, but never anything from migration. They migrate about all the instances every two weeks, so it is an often exercised path.
Damn, that's a magnificent feature! Maybe I should have another look at Zig...
My expectation is it's mostly environmental pollution like pm2.5 causing inflammatory responses, which trigger immune function unnecessarily.

I base this on the fact that when I moved to a pollution filled city my hair fell out from autoimmune disease, then when I moved out, it stopped happening.
I remember when I was a kid and someone's mom worked at a book store when Harry Potter came out...
Yes, forgetting gives space to focus on new ideas. But the author paints it as if the fear of losing information was irrational. It isn't. Exactly with the same arguments, the author could persuade us that:

- HDD is unnecessary - just use RAM.

- Git history makes no sense.

Most ideas aren't new or they don't make sense. And even if they do, we may never have time to put them into action. But this 1% (or maybe 0.1%) of ideas actually make sense. We may never revisit 90% of our thoughts and ideas, and 9% revisit without our gain, but for this 1%, it is still worth it to take notes. All discoveries, startups, books, and works of art come from this tiny fraction of ideas that were actually good. And on a more mundane level, think about all well-thought-out gifts.

It is super naive to claim that since most ideas are of little value, then all ideas have no value.
We should be concerned with those who pretend that historical precedent is a thing when it comes to questions of ethics, indeed anyone who conflates ethics with legalistic frameworks.

IMO the largest barrier to progress today is that too many people think the point of laws is to dictate ethics. This leads them to believe that legal things are good and illegal things are bad, and then you get horribly circular arguments like those above.
> I don’t think anyone has ever noticed it before, because I cannot find anything about it. No article, no video, nothing.

So... if it's not mentioned on social media it didn't happen? What is happening to this world?
That's probably true, and we should probably improve some of the processes.

But a Russian attack on NATO is not going to happen, and it's not what we should be focusing on. An actual attack on NATO soil is a worldwide catastrophic event, and has little to do with how many bullets they can pump into soldiers.

I just don't see Germany repurposing its train system to support a war that isn't going to come. Our ammo surplus is all going to Ukraine; Russia doesn't have extra resources to put into another war.

I don't doubt that NATO could better prepare its infantry. It's never as flexible as it would like to be. But it really sounds as if this guy is preparing to fight the last war.
Socially things have definitely moved left. Pick $SEX_THING, consider its status now relative to 10/20/30 years ago and it should be pretty obvious.

Economically it's...weird, and you could argue that it hasn't really made leftists or rightists happy. That Nikon link the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36131319) --- that doesn't seem to be what White Fascists For Swole America or Free Citizens of Stolen Native Land want.

Most Americans live within driving distance of where they grew up. 60% within 10 miles, 80% within 100 miles.
family is a spontaneous and natural form of human bond of which marriage (monogamy) is a centrepiece. from housing, working hours, career drive, tertiary education, pure capitalism is constantly creating conditions that put enormous pressures for families to succeed. pieces like this, i think, are only an attempt to rationalize or moralize something that is causing huge alienation of humanity from itself
That’s why I said “unless there are good enough workarounds.” You buy a part with some performance/power consumption expectations.

It sounds like a workaround here could be to disable C6 sleep, so I guess we’ll see how much that violates those expectations. I guess they didn’t add the feature for no reason, though.
To put it simply, the issue is that small misalignments in objectives can have outsized real-world effects. Optimizers are constrained by rules and computational resources. General intelligence allows an optimizer to find efficient solutions to computational problems, thus maximizing the utility of available computational resources. The rules constrain its behavior such that on net it provides sufficient value to us above what it destroys. But misalignment in objectives provides an avenue by which the AGI can on net destroy value despite our best efforts. Can you be sure you can provide loophole-free objectives that ensures only value-producing behavior from the human perspective? Can you prove that the ratio of value created to value lost due to misalignment is always above some suitable threshold? Can you prove that the range of value destruction is bounded so that if it does go off the rails, its damage is limited? Until we do, x-risk should be the default assumption.
Games sell game controllers, not the other way around.

When a sufficiently good experience is available for VR, which isn't usable without VR, then VR headsets will sell.

I've tried all the VR apps and games, and they all underwhelm.
The point is not that they cant afford the license its that when they are selling their own products for hundreds of dollers, probably with $50 or more profit margin per unit, then making $2 profit per unit on a strap after licensing costs is not worth the manufacturing investment for such a big company.
We probably need more surgeons, researchers, and nurses, but doctors? I'm convinced that the best doctor in the world will be an AI within 5 years. This also means everyone will ONLY want to see the best doctor in the world.

So if you're going to medical school to become a doctor starting today, you have to think long and hard about your future.
I wrote up a long comment that got scrapped by my focus filter but I feel the need to voice strong agreement here. I have a recent Mazda which in almost all ways is my perfect car except for the newfangled safety features all new cars seem to have. Lane correction and emergency braking, even set to the lowest sensitivity levels, are bad to outright dangerous in city (and some country) driving. In NYC it's common to have multiple road lines crossing during construction which by default has lead my car to try steering into cyclists or barriers. It can't read the lane because the lane is not properly marked but that's typical. So I disabled it. Emergency braking is a bit harder for me to understand when it kicks in but I've done whatever I can to keep it off. Twice it caused a hard brake in the middle of traffic with my newborn in the back and almost got me rear-ended. Another time it detected another car ahead of me but technically in the next lane and warned that it was about to hard brake in the rain on the Williamsburg Bridge inner roadway which is... tight to say the least. If there's a future where these features are rigorously tested for worst case scenarios in different driving environments and somehow universally implemented across manufacturers... maybe.
What's the best way to deal with oversmart people
I really have a hard time dealing with oversmart people who think they know everything while in reality they just don't have enough experience. I have come across such people in both work and personal life. While in personal life it's easier to avoid them, it becomes very difficult to avoid someone at work.

Any suggestions on ways to deal with such people and not loose your cool would be appreciated!
Speaking as someone who's been on the child side of such a relationship: be careful not to berate your children over what they do when with her, and don't put the other parent down in front of your kids. They'll grow up policing their own behaviour to avoid a parent-parent confrontation and that might trigger anxiety issues.
The money the government spends or forgives still goes on the balance sheet and will either come due at some point, or will result in the default of the US Treasury. That would be like me saying that spending crazy amounts of money on a new sports car doesn't matter because I have a huge line of credit. Eventually, that money for the car needs to be repaid.

You can absolutely see examples of this in city and state governments in the US that have failed to make pension payments. Kicking the can down the road will eventually catch up with someone.

And then the people you talk to end up talking about movies and video games and you lose interest because you're only living interested in the real world.
Interesting read. Though I can’t see how the general claim is true, “you can’t optimize for rest”..

Surely, you can. Many people do. It’s called FIRE.
The old every CPU is sacred idea lives on.
If it's helping the job then we ought to (be able to) expense it, there's a much higher bar for getting me to pay personally to help my work - as in it can't just be 'do it faster' (at the end of the day, do/should I care?) it would need to be posture/eye strain improving and not offered by employer, or something like that.

Imagine an embedded engineer personally buying a higher bandwidth 'scope (or whatever) to better debug an issue or QA before release. I don't doubt it happens, but I think it's more clearly unreasonable, and I don't think theres any reason it makes more sense with software.

Especially since software might well have per-device licencing, so you put it on your work machine and then what?

('I have better kit at home, I'm taking the DUT home for the weekend' is still overworking, but probably a lot more common, and I don't think quite the same/as bad as personal spend motivated by work.)

Regarding 'developers are cheap' directly, in my (limited, but spanning large & very small/growing company) experience businesses are cheap: they multiply the per-seat cost by head count and run scared, overlooking completely that it's a rounding error on payroll, or that it's more than covered by the unpaid salaries of open positions that might've been filled. (Obviously there are boring reasons this can be that you don't need to reply to me about. So too are there myriad reasons not to buy something personally beyond being 'cheap'.)
> Its an Apple proprietary system and as such there will be a large licensing cost…

A ton of that can be automated through your delivery system as well. Managers need to become flow engineers and get away from managing people.
Exactly. I’ve denied so many PR’s which only fixed a typo in comments or some other trivial thing. I know what they’re doing.
Contextual embeddings are not a strict improvement over static embeddings: if you don't have context, they tend to be worse. For example, if you have tags for example, which usually are just single words, word2vec style embeddings are better usually.
Yeah, I meant it's weird you cannot just disable it and have that saved across starts. Mine allows me to disable those features and they don't turn back on when you restart the vehicle. I don't think AEB is a feature that can be disabled though. Just the collision avoidance feature. They are similar, but not the same. AEB is supposed to only trigger when a crash is imminent while collision avoidance is what triggers when it thinks you are about to have a crash that can be averted. I've never had AEB trigger, but CA triggers regularly enough that I know when to expect it now.
I tried to look up some of those accounts and they don't seem to exist anymore
There's 2 parts of this: government, and corporations. We have 1 potential solution already for government:

4th Amendment

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Papers (things containing information), and effects clearly need to be interpreted to INCLUDE digital information storage and devices.

Privacy against corporations can be solved a few ways, but are also piecemeal.

A GDPR like law could definitely help.

Having the FTC ban "free" services would also be a good start, as under terms of bundling free to entrap people.

EULAs can just outright negated, as those onerous documents are effectively an after-sale blackmail. And many of 5hem contain questionable, onerous, or plain illegal terms.

The company aspect will always look for ways to gain money any way they can, so it's always an uphill battle. But we can do some reasonable roadblocks slowing down terrible privacy-destroying behavior piecemeal, and by enforcing laws on the books.
It will run but you won't get the full benefits of the split between performance and efficiency cores.

Looks like I was a bit wrong in my earlier comment, they have recently updated Windows 10 to support the concept of P/E core differences, but the way they assign processes to specific cores in Win10 is very unsophisticated compared to Win11.
Yes you can easily make a one liner allocation function in zig that takes an allocator as input with a comptime type and panics if allocation fails and returns the unwrapped allocation

I just say nuisance because zig code often looks like Go code in that almost every return type becomes an error union as allocation error handling (and maybe other errors) trickle up
How interesting. I think my biggest surprise from this is that Github actually looks for illegitimate stars. I wonder how that affects the repos with a huge amount of stars, like if they get culled often dropping the repos to a huge degree. I'd imagine a lot of these bots follow big projects to look more authentic.
> GDPR was a good start.

Honestly, I agree with you, but GDPR is barely a start, it does little to actually protect people's privacy. It needs to expand a lot to be an actual weapon against surveillance
"Work correctly" is strong. They're different philosophies, and not everyone agrees that window-oriented switching is better than application-oriented.

Ok. I wasn't sure there was a clear classification of what's external and what's "the body". My point was about making a distinction between disease and the thing being responded to.
