> someone smart who was willing to embrace the weirdness and take these ideas together to their logical conclusion.

It's been pointed out to me a few times that a lot of big advances in the natural sciences are made by people early in their careers who aren't very old. Perhaps it's easier to accept something "weird" and follow such a thought when you're not two-three decades invested in an old paradigm.
This strikes me as the best outcome as long as it stops here. This lets the White House move on from the nonsense AI x-risk discussion without being attacked for not doing anything about it, and also doesn't let the companies use fake x-risk to kill off open source models.

IMO Surveys are the lowest form of science.

Another way to title it "More evidence that neuroticism leads to marital dissatisfaction and dissolution"

Think about the process:

1. You decide/agree to fill out a survey (this is a form of selection bias already)

2. The survey asks you *to recall* experiences (this is both a form of bias of memory and neuroticism which causes you to ruminate on events in the past or what they might mean)

3. Then we make association (often interpreted as causal outside of the actual papers) that the examined behavior is the reason for the outcomes we've cherry picked.

Perhaps people on the brink of divorce phub more?

Perhaps the people are just neurotic about their partner's behavior? (notice, ruminate on, and ascribe negative meaning to their partner being on a phone)

Perhaps phubbing is just a coping mechanism for *the real cause of damage* in the marriage?

Hi Mateo, nice to see the project is still alive and evolving. I personally tried it about a year ago, and I found it really good for designing simple web pages with reusable and customisable components. But the content management system was the issue for me, I was hoping there would be a way to just drop markdown files in a folder for it to generate articles or blog posts following a template like a regular SSG.
We even talked about it briefly, and I then forked the primo repo and started implementing a custom method to convert the database entries into a files / folder structure, which was going alright but the reverse operation seemed tricky to implement and I ended up going down another road, building my own custom markdown SSG inspired by this guide : https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/build-static-sveltekit-mar...
Anyway, my use case is probably not the one you are targeting, but I still think it would be a dope product if everything worked the same but instead of writing the project into a database it would be a dynamic files / folder structure that could be edited and versioned like a regular sveltekit project. Basically it would be a svelte-based SSG framework with a components library and a dedicated UI to complement the regular text editor.
Just dropping this in case someone reads it and wants to build it, keep up the good work.

Yes, and only next day settlement. Because there’s no real time authorization, payments have two business days after settlement for the banks to report ordinary failures like insufficient funds.

How quickly a bank responds in that window depends greatly on the bank. In practice at decent scale, we see banks using every possible hour of that two day window to fail transactions.

An ACH debit made on Friday night technically has until open of business Wednesday to fail.

In terms of PKM applications, believe CRDT is the future。

In response to this, I've developed a "read later" app based on CRDT. The following are my expectations for knowledge management software, as well as the goals I had in mind when designing this application:

1. I want my data to be stored locally so that I can access it anytime and anywhere, thus eliminating the need for expensive hard drives.

2. I hope the software can be purchased for a one-time fee, rather than by subscription. Since all the data is stored locally, this indicates that there are no additional costs for the developers. Therefore, I believe a one-time payment would suffice. At the same time, I'm open to the game DLC model, where enhanced features can be obtained through additional payments.

3. I hope the software can support synchronization so that I can access the most recent data on any device.
Yeah; I get suspicious about these outrage flareups that are conveniently vague about what actually happened, especially when they're targeting obscure academics or mid-level administrators rather than people who wield serious institutional power (Steinbach's title was apparently "Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion", i.e. not "the" dean of a school or department).

From the AP story on this:

Michelin only does positive reviews.

If you trust the source of your information because they've been credible in the past, the ecosystem of reviewers matters less than an individual's relationship with a specific publication (or influencer, etc.)

On an individual reviewer basis, it's all about trust. Drive by consumption does not do well in this model.
I get that it's possible, as a developer, to have so many packages installed on your local that are used all of the time so that they are overlooked as an external package. However, it seems like a dependency tree should be able to be created by all of the import statements. From there, just list everything even if it is part of the stdlib. I'm not a C/C++ dev, so maybe that is possible and people just don't do it?

Not an expert at all but from what I've read you'd expect wrong. Even if they could create a black hole out of the Matterhorn it would be so small, less than a hydrogen atom, that it doesn't interact much with anything.

"Even though a microscopic black hole might contain the mass of a mountain, it would experience almost no friction as it passed through regular matter. It would fall through regular material as if it wasn’t there." [0]

So the worst thing would be the missing Matterhorn which pretty sure would upset the Swiss.

You can always just use an iPhone and turn on screen time, with tons of restrictions. You can "remove" the browser, adding apps, of course any app you want (including core ones like messaging), and keep a few useful ones like Google Maps, etc. Then have your wife or someone else set the passcode on it and bam, you have a "dumb" smart phone. If you ever need full functionality for something like a trip abroad, etc., you can have them unlock it. I do this with my wife sometimes because I don't like all the distractions, or even the distraction of resisting the urge to be distracted. Works great.
> but that sentiment usually comes with burnout from too many quick deadlines and vast piles of tech debt.

That would be my question. We are not talking about people saying that within their context good code is not possible, we are talking about people who say good code is not possible, period. Maybe burnout has to do with it, maybe also depression. But I even if I was stuck in a job that made me churn put half broken code all day I'd still remember my hobby projects in which I experienced myself that perfectly fine code can be written by a single determined person — and quite frankly: it doesn't even have ro take that much longer, it just has to be a trusted, concentrated low pressure environment.

Being stored on the open web to be indexed and archived is really the opposite of private. Obviously discord has access to everything but as far as the user is concerned its more private than anything else short of e2ee group chats (but what's the point of an e2ee chat with hundreds of strangers, any one of which can be a fed?)

And I don't know if you noticed but a lot of the youth prefers the censorship, or as they call it, taking out the trash.
You need every edge you can get. Great pictures, great bio, funny/interesting/engaging chat. Be in shape. Plan cool dates. Most guys who don't get anywhere with the apps have to 10x their effort. Maybe that feels unfair to you. But it's not unfair.

Abstract:

A diverse set of biological processes have been implicated in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias. However, there is limited understanding of the peripheral biological mechanisms relevant in the earliest phases of the disease. Here, we used a large-scale proteomics platform to examine the association of 4877 plasma proteins with 25-year dementia risk in 10,981 middle-aged adults. We found 32 dementia-associated plasma proteins that were involved in proteostasis, immunity, synaptic function, and extracellular matrix organization. We then replicated the association between 15 of these proteins and clinically relevant neurocognitive outcomes in two independent cohorts. We demonstrated that 12 of these 32 dementia-associated proteins were associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD, neurodegeneration, or neuroinflammation. We found that eight of these candidate protein markers were abnormally expressed in human postmortem brain tissue from patients with AD, although some of the proteins that were most strongly associated with dementia risk, such as GDF15, were not detected in these brain tissue samples. Using network analyses, we found a protein signature for dementia risk that was characterized by dysregulation of specific immune and proteostasis/autophagy pathways in adults in midlife ~20 years before dementia onset, as well as abnormal coagulation and complement signaling ~10 years before dementia onset. Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization genetically validated nine of our candidate proteins as markers of AD in midlife and inferred causality of SERPINA3 in AD pathogenesis. Last, we prioritized a set of candidate markers for AD and dementia risk prediction in midlife.
> What the fuck even is "AI" anyway?

Indeed.

For most lay people I've talked to -- family, friends, and acquiescence outside of tech -- the answer ultimately boils down to "automation that can do my job or can do the job of people I care about or can do the job of people who would then compete for my job". Sometimes also "algorithms" a la social media feeds and so on.

Ie, the lay answer to "what is AI?" has recently morphed into roughly "computer programs that I am worried about or don't like".

For most actual AI researchers I've talked to, you get the standard tounge-in-cheek response ("AI is whatever gets published at AI conferences and funded by AI investors") and then, when you press, it's roughly something like ML+CV+NLP+optimization and sometimes but not always other fields like automated reasoning or parts of robotics get added. Roughly, most of the parts of CS that aren't theory or systems or HCI or software engineering or already closed.

For most techno-babblers in the podosphere who have OPINIONS on super-intelligence but couldn't pass an internship phone screen to save their lives, it's superintelligence and other stupid hollywood bullshit.
That is the question.

These are correlated to dementia risk, but that doesn’t mean they’re directly involved causing dementia. They could be a related effect of the root cause(s) of dementia.

There are many examples in medicine where we’ve attempted to directly modify measurable markers like this without fixing the underlying disease.

They could be useful clues for discovering the root cause, though!

If you sit down with the terraform specifications for an AWS instance, a GCP instance, and an Azure instance, and start trying to write that harmonization, you will rapidly discover why for yourself. Even just trying to specify a network setup and putting an instance on the public internet is impossible to harmonize, without making something so lowest-common-denominator it is almost useless, let alone anything complicated.
