Good question. From 100s AD, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277408882_Galen's_1...

> Galen, like other physicians of his time, knew that the heart had four cavities, but like Erasistratus, he regarded only the ventricles as forming the heart proper and the atria as being a sort of enlargement or bulge of the vessels leading into the ventricles. He points out the presence of four openings in the ventricles, two in each cavity: one to introduce the blood, the other to expel it. The difference between the thick structure of the left ventricle in contrast to the thin of the right impresses him. At the base of the left ventricle, he writes, there is a large hole that comprises three sigmoid membranes and opens into the great artery (aorta), giving rise to all the arteries. He believed wrongly that there was communication between the right and left ventricles because of perforations in the septum, a notion that misled the medical community for centuries

Looking up Erasistratus (200s BC), https://oajournals.fupress.net/index.php/ijae/article/downlo... says

> Erasistratus was the first physician who recognized the heart’s activity as a “pump” ... [Ctesibius's] pump consists of two identical cylinders, just like the two heart chambers ... Another great innovation of Erasistratus, was the meticulous description of all four heart valves.

It sounds like they were on a good track of research, then progress pretty much stalled until the Turks you mention?

I don't know what to make of all this stuff that's started to percolate through the media and now congress.

The modern development of AI can be likened to the earlier development of the atom bomb. Everyone thinks it will destroy the world because technically it has the potential to do so and everyone's a pessimist on average. But it'll probably not be nearly as bad as claimed. Us humans have a strong tendency to enjoy being alive and preserve doing so.
Why? Every day the rest of the world make confident extreme claims that AI/advanced technology/STEM will improve the world with zero evidence either, and no one ever challenges those. In fact, everyone just jumps on the happy "tech is the best" bandwagon with nary a thought. If you think I'm making extreme claims, go look at the one-sided only positive view of technology being espoused by everyone else.

On the other hand, technology has brought us to the brink of a climate disaster and a screwed up society (just look at how much research there is for the damaging effects of social media).

> I've worked with both JSON and Protocol Buffers and there is no way that merely changing from JSON to PB would reduce latency by 60%; not on an average request. Clearly other refactorings were undertaken to achieve that speedup.

The article notes that this is only for "large payloads", likely an edge case, and the average performance improvement is 6.25% for responses and 1.77% for requests. 1.77%!

I get that this is "at scale" but is the additional complexity of all this engineering worth that? How much more difficult is the code to work with now? If it's at all more difficult to reason about, that is going to add to more engineering hours down the road to work with it.

I assume tradeoffs like this were taken into account, and it was deemed that a <7% response improvement was worth it.

I've been studying AI by leaning heavily on both YT videos (in particular the Karpathy ones) and chatbots.

It has greatly accelerated the process of building prototypes in multiple languages and building various permutations of solutions.

Doing that has allowed me to study various problems both from the bottom up and the top down. I think that has been useful for understanding concepts.

I could have done the same things without AI, but it would have taken a lot longer.
No. iMessage and Facetime use end-to-end encryption in China, probably among only a few apps allowed to do so.
Learn scales.

Seriously though, you can think of melody and etc as relative parts of a scale as well as intervals between notes. Ear training using scales is simplest and eventually starts to apply to more complicated patterns. Eventually you recognize the intervals and scales even if you are not consciously thinking about the descriptors like 'oh this is a major third interval'

This is a highly subjective take - it might be better to stick to objective dictionary definitions.

This project clearly isn't open source, & shouldn't be advertised as such, but on the other hand the intent here is a common/popular one these days, & its not the first of its kind: I'm surprised no-one has yet coined a term for this relatively new breed of "faux-pen source" or whatever it is.

Fwiw I do think it has it's place - it's certainly more than preferable to all rights reserved.
Fair enough.

How do you think this conceptual model fits at the subatomic scale; everything being a warping of fields? At first glance I can't tell if it works because there is no such thing as a slice at the quantum level. Well, depending on which theoretical model you're looking at. I suppose either way it's might be considered true if mathematically we're talking about the properties of a particle. But even then no one alive today can say for certain why those properties exist, conclusively I mean, outside of theory. We barely have a grasp on the manor in which they exist, which is the theory. For example, based on what we know about the proposed axion particle, how does this slicing concept affect the nature of it warping spacetime? Bringing something new to the table there would be quite the accomplishment here!

iMessage and FaceTime are available in China, but it hardly matters because most communication in China happens over WeChat. If all the important stuff is happening over the heavily monitored app, leaving a few scragglers is not a big deal. Especially because, it's not like a criminal gang is going to have the money to arm every member with an iPhone with China's wages (and the ones that do are likely white-collar and detectable elsewhere), and it's also not like Apple is allowed to actively advertise or even discuss themselves as being "more secure than WeChat."

EDIT: Also, ~80%-90% of iPhone users in the country likely have iCloud Backup on. iCloud Backup is not E2E-encrypted in China, and is hosted by a Chinese company instead of Apple. If you want full E2E, you need to use iMessage and hope everyone in the party doesn't have iCloud Backup on... and that's a pretty niche threat now.

"We need to, prior to licensing vaccines, do gold standard safety testing, like every other drug approval requires. We need to do double-blind placebo testing."

- We do mate.

Kennedy also said that he wanted to ensure “that vaccines are subject to the same kind of safety scrutiny and safety testing that other drugs are subject to."

- They are already subjected to more safety scrutiny and more safety testing.

"the hepatitis B vaccines that are currently approved had fewer than five days of safety testing."

- 2 years of human clinical trials is a longer length of time than 5 days.

In my experience, 100% of the time, the use of NoSql (excluding Redis) has nothing to do with the RDBS not being good enough, rather its "solves" another non-technical issue. Examples:

we agree, we have an internal mantra "people use products, not protocols". This does not diminish the importance of philosophies. The way we design our product and protocols is based on principles, because of the role software started to play in our lives - the second order consequences of the architectural choices lead to the results we get in our social life. We are believers of fundamental digital freedoms (privacy, ability to connect with those we trust) and importance of user and creator autonomy from the software provider (these freedoms to be governed by us not by software companies). We used these principles to guide our architectural decisions.

At the same time, we fully understand that if we want to build something meaningful we need to do the hardest part. Turn our ideals into the UX that would be attractive on its own. We are focusing on that. Hope to show that the p2p protocols can turned into a product that is fun to use. We are just making our baby steps towards this (not there yet)
This musing about vaccine safety is quite obviously not some rigorous rationality, it is a simple dog-whistle to attract the rabid anti-vaxxers while not immediately alienating those who rightly view this as an unacceptable position. Vaccine safety is being tracked, and there is no indication whatsoever of any harm from vaccines except for mild symptoms immediately after injection and extremely rare more serious events. The research is done, there is nothing more to discuss.

The latest anti-semitic accusation is also more serious than you make it out to be. He explicitly claims that Covid-19 affected Jewish people ("Ashkenazi Jews") and Chinese people less than others, and talks about that as "targeting". His exact words are that "there is an argument that Covid-19 was ethnically targeted", repeating that it is "targeted to affect Caucasian and Black individuals". He softens it a bit by saying that we don't know if it was deliberately targeted, but he then goes on to talk about how both the USA and the Chinese are working on ethnically-targeted bio weapons, so the implication is more than clear.

I will say that it's not necessarily clear that he is being anti-semitic here, but he is clearly being sinophobic and very very clearly implying that Covid-19 was an ethnically-targeted Chinese bio-weapon, a preposterous claim.

> Every chemical doesn't have to have a different connector. Maybe just ones that will cause a dangerous reaction if mixed.

The issue is that they're buying chemicals from vendors so they don't necessarily have control of what connectors are on the truck. If you have Bleach in connector A and acid in connector B, you better hope they don't send an acid truck with an A connector.

I think having a way to close the fill lines remotely would have at least seriously downgraded the problem.
Using the term Open Source for a product when most of the code is under a license that isn’t Open Source feels dishonest to me. The product you build is certainly yours to release however you see fit, but if I’m looking for open source software and I find this I’m going to be extremely skeptical of everything you say.

On top of that, the license itself is actually incredibly restrictive. I’m not a lawyer, but my read of the section on economic value seems very broad:

> does not include uses where the Software facilitates any transaction of economic value other than on Allowed Networks.

My read of “facilitates any transaction of economic value” means that I would be in violation if I used this to keep track of trading cards, made a grocery list, or tried to keep track of what I want to buy my friends for their birthdays. At least it would if I installed this on my home server and accessed it from the couch on mh phone.

> I'm not sure how someone wearing body armor and carrying multiple weapons that can incapacitate or kill someone can be intimidated by a smile.

They're wannabe military tough-guys with laughably worse training and culture, much of which tells them they should be pee-pants scared all the time (seriously—folks very-successfully sell some wacko training courses to cops; or, just look at the disconnected-from-reality-and-common-sense mythology they've built up, within their ranks, around fentanyl). That's the best-case explanation for that behavior. Sometimes they're literal machismo-fueled gangsters (yes, literally, as in, "involved in organized crime") and will punch down all day long to make sure they're feared.

[EDIT] Actually, school districts suffer from some similar problems, as far as being sold all kinds of ineffective and wrong-headed wacko programs and training, and too-frequently ending up corrupt little petty empires (OMG, the amount of money superintendents siphon off to pals...)—I think in both cases we may have opted for a level of devolution that's tipped at least a bit too far toward local autonomy, and could perhaps benefit from something like a professional management/officer corp that gets re-assigned every few years, like officers in the military, to prevent empire-building and make corruption and deviation into wacko-land much less likely. Though, I think that kind of thing's on exactly nobody's radar, so don't expect it to ever happen.

[EDIT EDIT] I mean obviously the problem's more severe and grave with cops, it just occurred to me that a lot of the problems in both spheres might be for organizationally-similar reasons.
Because some of the people attracted to the power of working as a police officer legitimately need all those weapons and all that body armour to project the power and confidence they just can't implicitly find within themselves.

I'm sad for root cause, but society seems to be increasingly paying for symptoms that the powers that be refuse to admit are even present.

I was wrong, the SCOTUS hasn't directly addressed filming of police, but that seems like it never got a chance to make it there because it's been affirmed in many circuit courts. They have alluded several times on how they feel about filming government officials (strongly support), but no case has directly made it in regards to explicitly filming police.

https://canons.sog.unc.edu/2022/11/responding-to-first-amend...

To date, there is no U.S. Supreme Court case establishing a right to film public officials engaged in carrying out their official duties or a right to film inside of public buildings generally. However, the Supreme Court has recognized a “paramount public interest in a free flow of information to the people concerning public officials.” Moreover, the Supreme Court has acknowledged that “the First Amendment goes beyond protection of the press and self-expression of individuals to prohibit government from limiting the stock of information from which members of the public may draw.” Filming public officials engaged in public duties may fall within this broadly defined “newsgathering” or “information gathering” right that courts have recognized in prior First Amendment cases.

>Except, you know, in the Supreme Court.

Yes, that is a strange exception.
