I don’t think your example supports that. “Group leader was formerly an informant for both the FBI and local law enforcement” does not indicate “FBI planted him as group leader”.

I'm surprised Dormio (the hardware that is facilitating this dream seeding) is trying to interact with the early stages of sleep, which is more likely to be NREM.

We get more REM sleep later in the night, which is the more opportune period to interact with dreams.

There are challenges to detecting the difference between REM and wakefulness, but as long as the interaction is not invasive, I would assume you could simply flex your finger to assert that you are not in REM sleep.

Well there's a major difference between TRT and anabolic steroids. Everyone knows the latter is no bueno (for longevity and overall health). The verdict doesn't seem quite so resolved yet on TRT. Literally everything in the world has side effects, though. The men on TRT are likely OK with those (at least until they encounter them...then we'll see what happens a few generations in.)

Also this study means nothing to me. They're looking at a few overall risk factors. There are potentially thousands of factors to consider, all interrelated and deeply codependent. Such is human biology.

Science at large still doesn't truly know how hormones work and interact in their totality within the human body.

Meanwhile, many cardiologists and doctors still buy into the saturated fat myth and myopic "all cholesterol is bad and will lead to heart problems" myth perpetuated by the sugar industry decades ago. So I'm not taking anyone's word yet on any of this.

Ironically, bodybuilders tend to be an amazing source of bleeding edge anecdata on all of this stuff.
> USB-C wasn't the problem, MFi was

I'm an Android user, but nearly everyone I know has an iPhone. And not even one of them has an iPhone accessory. So how important is this MFi thing, really? From my perspective, the main annoyance is that my partner (who has an iPhone) needs a special charging cable, and can't use the cables I use for my phone and we both use for our laptops.

And I suspect that's mainly what the EU cared about too: charging cables.

> USB-C everything is nice, but no non-techies I know like it because it's the new cable that's not compatible with any of their stuff

If you're talking about all their current stuff being Lightning, then that problem will work its way out in a few years. If their current stuff is all micro-USB or USB-A, then... what? How is that even possible these days? Even the cheap rechargeable motorized cat toys I've bought on Amazon use USB-C cables to charge.

And if it is micro-USB or USB-A that their other devices use, so what? They'd just be going from one charging cable that only works with iPhones (Lightning) to another that only works with iPhones (USB-C). And as their other non-USB-C devices wear out or become obsolete, and they replace them with new ones that charge using USB-C cables, this problem will also sort itself over time.
John Carmack's experience of engineering isn't a bunch of meetings, customer-alignment sessions, or anything else though. Apocryphal stories of him measuring everytime he was interrupted are the antithesis of that: they imply he wasn't available to staff, wasn't coordinating with anyone - he was in fact, just coding.

How many people have jobs where "just coding" is actually adequate to do the job? The early years of game development are perhaps the only time this was relevant, and even then it only applies if you work for yourself and not salary.

When 16 hours a day of coding will pop out a game engine a little faster, which gets it to market faster, which gets money into your bank account faster - sure, go nuts. The monetary value of your output is potentially highly disproportionate to the hours input and you the only stakeholder is you.

Of course, if you're spending a stupid number of hours a day coding and disregarding leading your art department, or guiding your other developers, or negotiating with your publishers for funding or deadlines...then you're probably not actually doing your job.

Of course, being a business owner gives you an additional level of passion and obsession with the work. The prospect of making fucking millions, and the power, and all that? Beats the HELL Out of being paid market rate to be cog #35 in the machine lol.

Honestly he sounds a bit narcissistic though. Especially in context. It's hilarious that I say that because I have a LOT of respect for him and iD software producing OpenGL games when everyone else was busy licking Microsoft's DirectX boots for that sweet sweet 24/7 dedicated Microsoft support and accomodation that Apple and the Linux community were never known for lol.

At the end of the day, you can be an astronaut or a surgeon or whatever and sure, you'll have your crazy weeks, but you'll also have a life outside of work. If they can live a normal life, IDK why I'd want to go working "passionate" long hours for a company that makes video games.

Lol, I actually live in Atlanta (are we a "top" city? we're like #10 largest metro in the US), and while our house prices are not as insane as SF or NYC, they're still astronomically high. Houses in Cartersville and Adairsville an hour north of GA go for $400-600k all day long.

Yes, the median salary in 2023 is 80k, and if you spend 100% of your interest, you'll average that. Now how does that $80k look in 20 years? Is it still the median? Or is it approaching bottom quintile?

Posting a listing of a home for sale is entirely different from actually selling the home.

Ironically, most states have standardized real estate forms, so really it's just Realtors® that are clogging up the works and demanding 6% commissions. (Actually, it's just NAR; most realtor agencies get 3%, for working their half of the sale, and then the actual realtor only gets half of that, or 1.5%. All of the rest goes to the middlemen, because historically buying and selling homes was highly labor intensive.)
I know the post above was long, but I must mention the contents come from personal experience.

One thing I found, sadly, was that people I love and trust including family often become greedy and grasping when there is inheritance at stake. Bear that in mind when you make a list with access details to things like bank accounts.

You may not believe it but that is what will happen to your family.

I like to think it is a reaction to grief, rather than an innate selfishness.
Hey, totallywrong, I love the Clint Eastwood story. He was playing golf with Toby Keith a few years ago and Toby asked on the course how he could keep going writing, producing, and acting at his age (like 90?). Clint was about to swing, he paused, and said "I keep the old man out." That is my inspiration. Whenyou love what you do and you have a purpose it is never work. Thanks for your comment. Richard

If you dredge through enough random data, you will always find a six sigma correlation (or five, or however many sigmas you want), kind of by definition. This is why experimenters like particle physicists or gravitational wave astronomers who have petabytes of raw data have to define their criteria in advance, instead of just going to town looking for patterns.

I agree with you that if this observation proves to have predictive power, then the way it was found doesn't matter. But right now we're at the less reliable "we looked at all conceivable retroactive combinations of stuff and found this pattern" stage of the process.
But presumably people would pick the first urn even if it had a bit worse expected utility than the second. Say, the green ball wins, and you can choose between either drawing from an urn with 29 green and 31 red balls, or drawing from an urn with an unknown number of red and green balls. The Wikipedia article says that people have active ambiguity aversion, not just that they use ambiguity as a tie breaker.

> Very few conservatives in 2023 are riled up by homosexuality.

This is absolutely not the case at the populist grassroots level. There are regular panics and outpourings of hatred for pride events, books mentioning homosexuality are outright banned in schools, gay teachers are targeted for harassment and fired. My state just passed a law banning drag shows, which have been a part of gay culture for decades.

Genuine question: do you live in a culturally conservative area? Do you have evangelical Christians in your social circles?

May not be causal, but a six-sigma correlation is sure-as-hell interesting.

not op, but most states have standardized forms that real estate agents are required to use. This is probably a place holder until those forms are ready, but given that the entire point is to make a legal transfer, that should probably be looked at :) another way to look at it might be that this is for the early adopters who are interested in splitting what would normally be 6% commission, like other 'for sale by owner' sorts of sites.

(in other words, this isn't really re-treading new ground, which is probably a good thing... there are tons of other sites that focus on actually closing a sale with very little commissions involved.)
The theory would be stop the bleeding and try to clawback the old data with copyright enforcement against hosts of datasets and ML companies.

Get the ML companies to license the content to settle the litigation, and include all
new data as part of the deal. Then offer a similar “training only” content license to all other ML companies.

Simultaneously you have to cut down on LLM-generated content, which may prove impossible.

Where they botched it was the execution.

It should have started with community engagement strategy: (a) buy out the 3P app developers, (b) fix the official app, and (c) offer low cost API access for the community by application, (d) shower mods and content creators with honorifics and if necessary rev share on their subs.
There is tons of great investment cars. Latest example of something nobody wanted until everyone does is VW Porsche 914, 2-4x in value in last ~5 years.

That's true only because mediawiki is designed for the infrastructure of a previous era, and massively overengineered for these kinds of use cases. Use any of the many free solutions for hosting a free site now. Use tiddlywiki in a single file for 99%+ of wikis. Or any linked markdown system. Making sites for small communities is easier than ever but harder to discover due to noise. That doesn't make mediawiki good.
That's required if you work in State of California. For our ToS we use Termly.
Because the cost of the waste these throw-away phones generate isn't priced in. There is a societal cost that isn't being paid by the firm or the consumer.

Honestly, it probably only adds a few bucks to the BOM and the consumer who doesn't care about repairability still likely comes out better off in the long run because their phone lasts them longer and/or resells for more because it isn't junk after 3 years.

Interesting site. Few notes:

1. Why did you choose to put the fees on the seller side? You say its 0 commission, but really its a flat fee commission on the seller. This is fine, just curious why not split? Makes it an unpleasant surprise for the seller.

2. It would be good if you be more upfront on where your service is active. Maybe during signup. I made an account just to find out you can't serve me. Double whammy

3. Its not really clear what sellers get from the platform besides flat fee commission

Overall cool site. I'm always for innovation in real estate space. My experience home buying was super annoying.
> (Oddly, the author seems to use vim as an editor but emacs editing mode rather than vi editing mode in the shell.)

It doesn’t have to be the same quality. Everyone has five or ten hours a week where they’re just in the zone.

If not, what were the X hours actually doing? Decompiling?
Why not flat-free MLS listing?

Not hating on this (and give huge props to actually releasing something), but why spend $995 when it costs only $100-500 for a flat-fee MLS listing?

With a flat-fee MLS service you get the added benefit that all realtors will see your listing because it’s on the official MLS?
You're assuming an a priori bias. Astrology didn't lose favor because of some societal decree, it lost favor because it had no predictive power.

There are interesting opportunities in some niches. Twenty-five years after I got an MS/CS degree and had worked as a software engineer at various places, I was looking for something different. A public charter school in Colorado had just started; they taught students K-12 and sought teachers with subject matter expertise and teaching skills. They explicitly didn't require ed school certification. I worked there for 13 years before I retired.

At this school, 2 one-semester "tech" classes were part of high school graduation requirements. One was on operating systems and office software. At times these were Windows and Office; at others Linux and OpenOffice. The other was much like the material in Brian Kernighan's "D is for Digital", on basic concepts, history, and brief experience programming. We covered a little shell scripting, a little SQL, web pages with HTML and JavaScript.

We had an elective programming class, but its enrollments were quite small. The ones I just mentioned were taken by just about everybody.
