The US military had them delete the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the 2014 release of Godzilla - something pretty essential to the "lore".

>Reference ranges are always adapted to specific populations.

in this case, reference ranges are adapted so people don't qualify for therapy. The side effects of the low levels don't change just because you change the reference range

>Testosterone levels have not necessarily been falling since industrial times - records farther back than 50-70 years are extremely error prone and sporadic since methods of testing have changed dramatically.

My exhaustive reasearch has shown the opposite.
Interestinglingly, even older guys now have higher testosterone levels than younger guys. So you can even see it in the living specimen.

>Doctors are not saying that a 40 year old having the same testosterone level as an 18 year are "unhealthy" en masse. It is simply normal for the hormone to decrease as one ages. There is no "strange and contrived reason". It's just how the human body works and isn't a problem unless it goes too low and causes dysfunction of some kind.

1. doctors say that, en masse.

2. There is some evidence that the lower testosterone levels are caused by injuries and dysfunctions. At least some studies point to that.
An analogy: Age doesn't cause bad teeth. Caries and injuries cause bad teeth. If these don't happen, teeth stay healthy. Saying it's normal that your teeth fall out is lazy.

>The reason for lower testosterone is probably very boring and not some insidious thing like you're implying: people are more obese because they eat more calories, and this is strongly linked to lower testosterone levels.

You are partially right. Testosterone is regulated through estrogene. Having high estrogene limits your testosterone production. Obesity and less sport is sufficient.

But a lot of non-obese and healthy people who work out also have low testosterone levels
Short answer: yes!

Long answer: Yes, but life is still full of struggles and letdowns and obstacles and joy. If you eliminate the struggles and letdowns and obstacles, your life will become quite uneventful and you'll strangely desire them.

One thing that has helped me is that when I don't know what I want to do with my life, I default to short-term goals of self-improvement. Namely, improving my diet, sleep, nutrition, mental health, taking on a new fitness hobby, etc.

I think the key is framing things right[1].

1. Unless you are depressed or have self-destructive thoughts. Then, you should seek professional counseling, which is immensely helpful. https://988lifeline.org/talk-to-someone-now/
> the benefit of a developer ecosystem

Apple hates 3rd party developers, the ecosystem exists because there's money to be made off Apple users. If there's no users of an Apple device there will be no developers - and frankly, there's no incentive to even hack around on their devices.
Why is that significant?

This seems like exactly what Apple would do.
I would say TypeScript is second only to Rust
Is there an extension that exposes top Twitter threads that link to a given page?
I think 5x is closer for mass adoption. Oculus is selling their new ones starting at $500, and Apple could easily match that tech and more. They're probably have to give up gimmicks like the front eye screen, though, and they'd have to target gamers, which is a group they completely left out of the presentation.

Apple's name behind it, and advertising it as a work device as well as a gaming device, would let them steal a lot of the market.

And I say that as someone who doesn't currently own any Apple products.

> in darling paypal days

Not even. Musk had a company which had plans for an online bank (can you imagine?) but it wasn't working out so well. So his company merged with one that was in the process of creating PayPal (trademarked, prototype in place)...

Musk was the largest shareholder of the combined companies, so he was made CEO...

And promptly spent four months complaining that the working prototype needed to be thrown away, because it was written in Java on Solaris, and he didn't understand it, and he wanted it rewritten in Classic ASP on Windows.

Four months, because at that point, the board, lead by Peter Thiel had had enough of it and removed him as CEO.

That was the extent of Musk's tenure at PayPal.
What Happened to the Creator Economy?
Maybe VP 2.0 already shows enough gains that this is a smart choice?

Obviously this is just one of many cases.
Which is weird because with the vision pro is not really any "first", they are incrementally doing a lot of things a bit better. My stupid guess is they probably worked for so long on this that they figured they have to ship something and see what sticks. It's cool that they do, of course.

But the use-cases displayed in the demo video are just weird, not what I expected apple to come up with.. you don't buy a ski-mask to make 3D photos of your kids, or buy a ski-mask to watch 2D facetime windows of conference call participants even if they are floating in mid-air instead of on your phone..
I agree completely, and I think the 'tipping point' came because of ChatGPT. And I think it's for two primary reasons:

1. ChatGPT was released for general-purpose use. It's not a data science team at a FAANG company or healthcare or finance enterprise using ML for a specific business need. It's there for anyone to ask it anything.

2. A design decision was made to have ChatGPT output words in "real time" instead of all-at-once after a delay. To the user, that makes it look and feel like it's consciously and actively responding to you in a way that animated ellipses do not. I never knew what it would feel like talking to an AI, but when I first used ChatGPT, I thought: this must be it.
> If it were good, you could replace all Displays with it

Except when you want to show the display to multiple people at the same time.
Then ice thing about software is that you can copy it at least, even if it’s expensive. LIDAR prices are coming down at a steady rate, although Tesla is still trying to go the vision only route.

> I guess it comes down to the big unknown: will it work at scale. Can we find enough cities with great weather, where enough people will use it? What will happen when the price goes up? What is a fair, sustainable price? Will that be higher than human-driven car?

If we assume the technology won’t improve any longer, this is true. But I don’t think that is a very safe assumption. Everything seems to point to the question being when rather than if.
This is quite inspiring news, and the fact that people are leaving "for cause" based on malfeasance of leadership is even more heartening.

>All Germans who declare an affiliation to the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish denominations are officially registered as such with their local authorities. They are liable to pay the Kirchensteuer or Kultursteuer (church tax or cultural tax), which amounts to between 8% and 9% of a person’s income tax and is drawn from their monthly income by the tax office, which passes it on to the appropriate denomination.

>Those who wish to leave have to officially renounce their membership, a process known as a Kirchenaustritt, or church withdrawal, by actively visiting the local register office and paying a €30 administrative fee.

>The church tax was first enshrined in German law in 1919 and reaffairmed in the Reichskoncordat between Nazi Germany and the Vatican in 1933. It was reaffirmed in law again in 1949.

The Catholic Church and the Nazi government were known to be one in the same during the lead up to and during WWII but the fact that the church and state are still so intermingled in 2023 is absolutely baffling. Why is this even still the case today?

Intel is such a hero of this world. They make so many amazing things happen. And they do the job well.

There's obvious/huge ecosystem examples: there was a whole industry around ultra-proprietary SSDs, and Intel rolled up their sleeves & developed & standardized NVMe to commoditize the technology, and then dropped absolutely killer products at a much more competitive rate.

But Intel's work pushing the Linux kernel forward is just amazing. They have so many teams doing so much, optimizing, & adding support. And so many of their products have great & readily available documentation, which is something very few other companies have.
Wow. That’s really something.

I’m sure at least some of us here recall professors being investigated and fired for not disclosing relationships with China.

I’m also guessing none of this is disclosed by movie studios?

> No typing, requiring a couple of dependencies just to get poor, half-assed typing that doesn't really work anyway.

I'm not sure when this experience was. I've used TypeScript for years. About 5 years back it was okay, but it was very hit-or-miss for a given library to have types.

Today, I haven't had that problem. Every library I use has _great_ types, and many libraries are even written in TypeScript.

Anyway, all I'm saying is that you might want to give it a second change. TypeScript and the ecosystem has greatly improved. I hate working without static typing (Python, JS, and Ruby are pain), but TypeScript is really quite great.
For automatics it is an improvement over a cable that will rust up and keep your brake partially activated. I never use mine because it just forces additional repair expense.

Hey! We’re Emergence Engineering, a small-ish dev shop from the EU. Part of our team is looking for work, we’ve been working for US & UK based startups for a while now. Our team is:

- React / Node / Embedded senior dev ( me )

- React / Node / DevOps / Postgres senior dev

- Scala / React / Node / Blockchain / GPT / Kubernetes / DevOps senior dev

- Scala / React / Node senior dev

- Two devs with deep React / Node knowledge between mid and senior level

- Two very good junior-ish devs with React knowledge

We look for a place where we can make a difference and do interesting work with a lot of responsibility, the team is well balanced meaning that we have exploring / figuring out and executing types.
> The issue here is not Siri’s inability to understand what I want, it is that the Contacts app does not support this method of data input

…which is something an LLM won’t help with.

“Just design an open ended API capable of doing absolutely anything someone might ask ChatGPT to do” is not the simple task you’re making it out to be!

There's a reason why people describe ChatGPT as a "research tool": you often need to do a bunch of iterations to get it to do the correct thing. And that's fine because it's non-destructive. But it's very far from a world where you can let it loose on a production, writable database and trust that it's going to do the correct thing.
Do we have a problem because of this? I use the handbrake when driving standard transmission in Europe but never when driving an automatic. Never had an issue because of it or heard of anyone who has.

Obviously my experience is limited but genuinely curious - what problems have we suffered because people w automatic transmissions just use "park"? If "none" then I guess I can't lament the disappearance of the handbrake although I did find it odd that my highlander only has the button which engages itself.
I don't know, at this point I would still count Apple as only talking about it, too? Thing isn't released, after all.

And you'd probably be surprised to know just how capable other offerings are, too. I'm a broken record, but the PS5 VR is quite impressive. Yes, you have to have a cable to hook up to the PS5, but not having a battery is an odd benefit. Not to mention the general cost difference. And my understanding is that it isn't that far ahead of the Meta offerings.
Then give me (hell, you pick a person) complete access to your communications. Give up all privacy, even just for this given person. Will you still be free? Or somewhere along the line, does information turn into power?

My theory is they set a bunch of unattainable goals for the team. The deal was they would ship the product when these milestones were met.

Once the goals were met they had to ship the product despite uncertainty on how exactly it would be used.

They could tell it could be used but have no insight if it will be used.

I built an online / mutable time-series database using FDB a few years back at a previous company. Not only was it rock solid, but it scaled linearly pretty effortlessly. It truly is one of novel modern pieces of technologies out there, and I wish there were more layers built on top of it.
Opvia (YC S20) | Sales Development Representatives| REMOTE (US based)| opvia.io

Opvia wants to be the software layer for regulated manufacturing companies. Regulated industries (Pharma, biotech, F&B) need better software to go to market faster, get insights from their data, and comply with the regulations. Opvia makes it easier to build exactly the procedures and workflows companies need with its no-code platform.

I'd say a union is how you start getting back power to the workers, but given tech's ignorant libertarian bent of "I can do better on my own"...

Let's just say I'm not holding my breath.
They would probably learn more, honestly.
Speculating, but Apple wanted to make sure that the only people photographed using the headset were models and actors who are very attractive. That way whenever a news outlet runs a story about it, they have to use the picture of the attractive/cool people using it, and people make an association that the headset makes people attractive/cool.
Maybe investors care more about the former Apple thing?

I've been in so many job interviews where the interviewer tells me "Our engineering team has a lot of ex-Google and ex-Facebook people" or tells me about how their founder went to Harvard and the CTO went to MIT.

That's always made me less interested in the company. What, am I supposed to feel less valuable because I don't have any of those credentials, despite what I've done in the industry and my skills being a fit for the position? Plus, a lot of these teams are just building CRUD apps anyway, and many of them turn out worse than those built by teams composed of the little people who went to state schools and use Java.

I obviously don't know anyone who would buy this, but my impression of the product category is that it's for rich people who can't cope with owning the same Vision Pro as any chump with $3500 sitting around. How is it supposed to be a status symbol if it doesn't cost $40k like their watch?

Same with a Rolex embedded phone case, having all the money in the world won't buy you a fancier iPhone than anybody else, so if you're intent on turning everything you own into an excessive status symbol you have to take your device that already has a built-in clock, and add an less accurate but handmade and more expensive watch to it.

I have a hard time imagining who exactly would be impressed by that, but what do I know?

> I mean, an iris is like 1cm wide, can you really get a detailed image from 100m away, while the person is walking, looking around, blinking etc.?

I assumed there would be an appropriate setup for that.

In any case systems collecting iris data en masse from 6m were available a decade ago. Ultimately it's just a photo in near infrared, nothing fancy.

The whole reason why this even works is that the iris as a modality has an unrivaled 240+ bits of entropy, so even partial or blurred images yield enough information to identify a person(requiring 60bits at most).

On top of that it's an extremely stable feature. Shabrat Gula was famously identified after almost 20 years, despite being a child when her photo was taken.

Nobody on anabolic steroids can work out at max effort without getting tired, or being able to go without sleep, you're probably thinking of meth, not AAS.

And what do kidneys have to do with processing steroids?

And why bring up Ronnie Coleman as an example when his issue was that, 2 days after spinal surgery, against all recommendations, he decided to squat 800 pounds?

And steroids increase DHT, which can be a risk factor in PROSTATE cancer, not testicular cancer.
I can barely even recognize where Europe is supposed to be. I get why Vietnam is mad but it's kinda funny to see that the map in question is extremely abstract. The whole world should ban this movie because it seems like no territory on it is correct.

I didn’t. I expect that it makes a difference, though for the observation that Python native calls are relatively slow.
I watched (okay, skimmed) the demo (okay, ad) and from what I can tell, it's a phone with no screen that you clip to your shirt and interact with verbally. The demo includes receiving a phone call, language translation, summarizing a meeting, and looking up a product (by UPC?) to see if the speaker is allergic to it. I assume it's OpenAI on the backend due to the speaker mentioning how excited Sam Altman is about it.

I can see what they're going for, if I had an always-on device hoovering up my data I can imagine an AI using it to do cool stuff. But the only way I'm wearing a 24/7 body cam is if the data is going to open source software on hardware I control, and AFAIK this is neither, so no thanks.
