No some cells never reproduce, for example motor neurons.

I have a hard time to imagine how to replace a up to one meter/yard long cell with sometimes hundred of synapses which is surrounded by cells such as astroglia and microglia that are equally important.
What I find interesting about this is basically this is just a poor photoshop - they've taken an existing image and just mucked around with some details. But I think it's worth thinking about why this has traction - is it because people are now on the look out for AI generated images. Certainly that's what I first went to.
That's not a backup, that's a contingency. I'm saying why not put another fully charged battery in the sub so it would be less likely to be completely unpowered at some point.

I am trying to understand this. People can be different from each other but still share relevant attributes. For example, two women can have different ideas and opinions, but they are both women. I don’t see the problem here
Not really about history of technology as a whole but the book Computing in the Middle Ages was really fascinating. Made me realize that lots of the challenges software engineers face are much older than we assume.

> Most Ivy League students weren't born smart. They're exceptional because they were given access to what they needed to succeed.

The most ironic part here it isn't the school and education there that makes them exceptional. The schools filter so harshly that just getting admitted already means you are exceptional. And they can do that because of their good reputation, which is mostly based on tradition and perception.
That explains a lot about my advisor then ...

> but the sad truth is that most people won't care about the lies and misdirection because advertising has normalized this type of behaviour.

This is probably the greatest time in modern capitalist history where this is wrong. If anything the youth have grown up being assaulted with marketing and become savvy dechiperers and careful. My parents generation were more easy suckers.

Being honest matters a lot on social media. People love nothing more to expose this sort of thing (drama!) and point at a company to laugh at them. This thread on HN and Twitter is good proof. Although one could argue the no press is bad press angle.
You are conflating 'violent revolution' with 'communism'.

Typically ALL revolutions end badly, ala 'Robespierre'. NOT just communist revolutions.

Also typically, almost everyone in the USA, since the US had one of the very few examples of a successful revolution (geography helped), think that revolutions are a great thing, a big party, everyone should do it.

After/throughout WW1-WW2 a lot of people were oppressed, poor, and pissed enough to revolt, and during that period there were a lot of ideas we lump into 'communism'. So, this ferment of anger, seeded with the common ideas of the time, lead to a lot of communist revolutions.

But most revolutions fail, that isn't indictment of the original ideas.

At the time, even Woodrow Wilson's 14-points, would sound like Communism to todays American. In democracy, everyone gets a vote, in todays America, even that is too communist.
> Most Ivy League students weren't born smart. They're exceptional because they were given access to what they needed to succeed.

That must be part of the answer, but it can’t be the whole answer, or close to the whole. There’s huge variation in educational outcomes among those who get the access that you describe. What explains why some people in this group have such good outcomes, while most have relatively lackluster outcomes?
I slacked off until I failed the first year exam. I escaped a PhD program and was left full of hope. I consider that a win.
That depends on how good your advisor is and whether they understand mental health.

The British "V-sign" is equivalent to the US "middle finger." The only difference is the former represents open legs, while the latter represents the male member.

If the "V-sign" is given with the palm forward, then it could be either of the (antiquated) "peace" or "victory" signs, but if it is given with the back of the hand forward, it's the "legs open" version.
Yeah, I agree with the author's moral stances, but I'd fire them too.

Those two words mean what they mean. If you want to imagine in your own mind that they mean something different and pretend that it makes the statement "uninterpretable", it's a free country.

>This case is just making the argument that if a government requests action or brings a platform’s attention to some content, if the platform agrees with their request, acting on that request or notice would violate First Amendment rights of the people who posted the content.

The case is making the argument that the government crossed a line from "request" to "coercion" or "coordination", and that there should be limits on the latter. Overall this case is a good Rorschach test, because if you switched out the content for something more amenable a lot of people would immediately switch sides on this issue.

From a security standpoint, can you tell me what's different about this vs "I ran this chunk of PowerShell that said it would patch Office to bypass activation"? After all, it's just a patch.
The Color of Isonomia: “When they slew the tyrant, And made Athens isonomous”
Yes and no. At some low-level the brain doesn't differential between physical pain and mental / emotional pain. It's pain, and it needs to be reckoned with. Maybe psychedelics aren't painkillers in the opioid sense. However, they do provide pain relief, and yes perhaps an opportunity for healing.

The difference really isn't all that much.

> STEM isn't the point of going Ivy

It is.

Cornell, Princeton, and Columbia are all Top 10 CS programs.

For natural sciences, all the Ivies top the charts.

For med school, same story.

> Real elites tend toward history and art majors.

Some children of HNWI do major in history and art. Others will gladly major in STEM. Look at people like Bill Gates or half my hs.

This isn't the 80s or 90s anymore. Post-2008, top public schools have gotten as selective as Ivies were in the 2000s (7-15% acceptance rate [actually around 15-25% as BlackJack below points out]) while Ivies and Ivy Adjacent private schools (eg. UChicago, CMC, etc.) have dropped to the 1-6% acceptance rate.

Also, "elite" industries like PE, IB, Management Consulting, and VC all bias hiring in favor of STEM majors, which automatically prioritizes selective public schools like Cal, Mich, UCLA, etc.

> You already knew your friend group because you attended the same "2-300" high schools?

Pretty much. I had 2nd degree connects at just about every top university and I myself attended a top uni.

We all ended up working in the same handful of industries (Government, Media, Finance, Tech, Management Consulting, Politics) in the same handful of cities (SF, NYC, Seattle, Boston, DC) which further enhances the general alumni network as there are only a handful of top employers in each of those.

Something like proton decay resulting in the permanent non-existence of baryonic matter is unimaginable timeframes, but the Earth will lose all of its carbon dioxide, and hence all eurkaryotic life, within around 1.3 billion years of now. So that's the longest any multicellular creature inhabiting the ocean can still be around, unless far future tool-users figure out how to migrate to a new planet with chemically similar oceans and give them an assist by taking some.

With extreme corrections it get harder to put that into anything other than flat lenses and a lot of sun glasses aren't that shape. I recently went through getting perscription safety glasses and had to get special inserts to flatten out the lens profile to make my relatively minor -3.75 to -4 prescription. I was able to get some relatively normal Oakleys in my script for sunglasses though.

> AFRINIC is one of the world's five regional internet registries, or RIRs: AFRINIC; Asia-Pacific's APNIC; North America’s ARIN; Europe’s RIPE; and Latin America’s LACNIC. These are the organizations that manage, allocate, and track the use of internet number resources – IP addresses and autonomous system numbers.

Which one is the central authority?
I'm glad they do that. But those kids still have to get in. Which is much more difficult for a kid graduating from an under-resourced high school.

I went to a very privileged high school. There were so many eyeballs on my class' test scores, recommendations, personal essays...of course we were going to succeed. Most of us got into our top choice schools. You often need a lot more than money to get into these schools.

Again, define large.
I have a matched set of -9, so I don't really have to track left/right with contacts. Which is kind of nice.

Day to day, I wear glasses, and have no plans to change that. If I'm going to a show or a movie, or if I'm planning on spending a lot of time outside, I wear the contacts. The contacts are set up for distance not reading. and that's becoming more important as I get older.

It can be disorienting for a few minutes, I forget how much glasses distort peripheral vision.

I get a small supply of daily disposables. I keep a pair in my laptop bag. With vision as poor as ours, you know how difficult it is if your glasses are lost or damaged. It's not life changing, but it is a genuine quality of life improvement for me.

I encourage you to get a contact exam, to verify you can wear contacts. They should teach you how to put them in and take them out. It can be stressful, but you never touch your eye. The doctor or assistant can answer any questions you have. They're not particularly expensive (in the US anyway). You don't have to wear them. Try them out, they might have some benefits you haven't realized.

That said, I don't think i'd wear contacts just for AR/VR. The headsets already seem like a hassle, and extra tooling to make my eyes use them effectively, even more of a hassle.
Yep, far more japanese illustrators are on misskey or pawoo (a mastodon server), in part because pixiv - a popular japanese image hosting site - used to run pawoo and has some integration with it.

Nowadays misskey.io may be gaining some more popularity than pawoo, in part due to the interface and in part because pawoo is a bit of a mess in terms of moderation, lots of creeps there openly expressing their illegal sexual interests.

Lots of elites never go to college. Lots go to non-Ivies. The top liberal arts schools have Ivy level tuition for that reason. Lots of elites go to Ivies, but the Ivy league's primary value will always be the possibility of an upward class mobility gateway. In the social sense, which is impossible to achieve otherwise generally speaking. In other words, your trailer park upbringing suddenly becomes much less relevant to a true elite job. Some liberal arts colleges can probably achieve near the same effect, but generally speaking the Ivies serve as the only true possible class ceiling penetrators. Actual elites don't need to go to college at all.

> Who are we to declare that they're bloated?

Software engineers that routinely dig through layers of abstraction to grok how systems function. Not everything needs to be treated as a black box. Like I know very little about medicine, and I'm certainly not capable of diagnosing medical problems. But when I try to ask a doctor a question, and get confronted with a phone tree in front of an answering service in front of a receptionist in front of a nurse in front of the actual doctor, with days of delay in between some of those layers, I can confidently say the place has organizational cancer.
In the sim, at "Year 3 Month 9" I apparently "lost all hope and quitted your PhD".

In my real one (20+ years ago), I submitted my thesis after 3 years and 6 months, by which point I was no longer on speaking terms with my supervisor and was hanging on to my sanity by the skin of my teeth.

My viva went surprisingly well, after which I did the minor corrections that were requested, handed in a copy of my thesis, packed up my stuff and left that hateful group behind me.
That one seemed really widely distributed, iirc we got our copy off of a CD from a computer magazine at the time. Really cool, and it ran on most people's PCs. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the first time seeing 3D rendering on PC, after Wolfenstein anyway. Actually, Wolfenstein was 1992, Second Reality was 1993; Wolfenstein had just the 3d-looking environments, Second Reality had 3D models / polygons and the like.

Hi

Dynamicland is still going, just quietly. We closed the Oakland space for covid, but Realtalk development and collaborations have continued basically as originally planned, if more slowly due to our small size.

I'm hoping to spend the summer working bionano, and get back to preparing new on the Dynamicland website in the fall. It might be ready by the end of 2023? It'll have everything.

I'll try posting at @bret@dynamic.land (currently Mastodon until we have time to do our own thing in Realtalk). Id appreciate if you don't ask for my Opinions about things.

Thanks,
Bret
I wouldn't go that far. You'd basically be stooping to the cancel mobs' level with that.

Again - I'm not supporting this person in the OP, not supporting her insults and don't support doing this to customers in general. I'm also rather grateful to the US army and citizens enabling it, because they are #1 factor today why me and my family and friends are alive.

Regarding corporate dystopia, I politely disagree with you. Some isolated cases where corporations are a tiny little bit affected are a drop in ocean of the reverse situations. Also notice that in your example a person (Spacey) is unilaterally abused by the corporation, outside of any due process. This is actually an example for my idea, I think :) . And in general the trend is obvious - corporations are rapidly increasing in size, they destroy free market (or rather it works as expected) by demolishing any competition, bribe and subvert weak governments to push their agenda and lock all customers to their products/services. They blatantly exfiltrate money to the tax free offshores and avoid abiding by any laws (which matter). They deliberately stall any regulation by government of any new areas they are controlling (ads, ISP, media, communication and so on). They are like a rapidly growing tumor, for now mostly benign, but metastases has already started. And anti-monopoly government bodies of all countries are spectacularly impotent over past decades, sitting on their hand and doing nothing that matters.
I've noticed a concerning amount of post-truth BS around here. Don't trust journalists, don't trust your government or institutions, the news is bad, do your own research, etc.

Yuck!
There's no shortage of criticism of the leet coding interview questions, but I found the system design interviews even more asinine.

I have never in my career had to do anything like designing a large scale system. Maybe I'm inadequate, maybe I've been insufficiently motivated, but it hasn't happened. If that's a requirement, say so and don't waste the time of applicants who don't know what a ring tokenizer is.

As it was, it turned into a ridiculous charade session where I watched a bunch of videos and regurgitated them as though I knew what I was talking about. "Oh yes, I'd use a column oriented database and put a load balancer in front".

Without any real-word experience it's just a bunch of BS. I'd never let someone like me design a large scale system - not even close. I don't want to design large scale systems, it sounds boring and like the type of job where you're expected to be on call 24/7.

I've worked with the Linux kernel, I've written device drivers, I've programed in everything from C to Go, and that's what I want to keep doing. Why put me through this?

I think it's 100% individual. I didn't feel like I learned enough, so I stayed in grad school. If you feel otherwise, you absolutely should follow you own path. I've interviewed and worked with hundreds, ranging from bootcamp to PhD, ivy league to city college, and i've seen so many - both - failures and successes, that reducing signals even to education in general, let alone some specific combo of it, without hearing out the person first, is a straight up bias.
I was in the middle of writing some regex-automata code (using the early 0.2.0 release) when this post dropped. Welp, time to see if I'm going to have to start all over digging into some brand new internals~

(I haven't read the post yet because I have an important call in a few minutes, but it looks like a very interesting and also conveniently-timed blog post.)

(Edit a few minutes later: looks like the answer might be yes, but since this is a polished release, I might be able to simplify my code massively. Wish me luck~)

(Edit 2 about 10 minutes later: well that was pretty painless and the new Builder::patch method is a total upgrade. Awesome~)

P.S. I'm still blocked from all your GitHub repositories and I think that's kind of unfair considering how widespread a lot of your crates are. I don't remember the original incident anymore. I believe the regex crate itself is under the rust-lang organization now, but there are still others I can't interact with.
