I find the most interesting papers I read all come from the same place: The National Library of Medicine https://www.nlm.nih.gov/

Here's some recent papers I liked:

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8413749/ -- Lithium is used as a mood stabilizer for bipolar and in other disorders. The form of Lithium used in psychiatry is Lithium Carbonate. But other forms also exist. As a supplement: there is Lithium Orotate which some people use to help them sleep, deal with stress, and so on. This paper puts forwards the idea that Lithium Orotate is preferable to Lithium Carbonate due to lower quantities being needed for the same therapeutic results. Resulting in less side-effects.

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1525098/ -- In bipolar disorder its known that there are abnormalities in the presence of brain derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF.) What's interesting about this is treatments for bipolar help to increase BDNF which may be something of interest to those who are into nootropics.

The papers on this site are honestly some of the best written, in-depth, and accessible works I've come across anywhere. There's enough information here to live a better life if you're willing to sift through papers. No joke.
I think that limitation is in VR mode where you are limited to a couple of meters. I don’t think AR has that limitation and this idea sounds like an AR experience.
This doesn't capture the basics of capacity planning, which really started in the 1980's with roll-out of bank ATM networks.

The first step is not to use technical measures like throughput or response time, but to use business units (like ATM account balance checks or withdrawals), so you can forecast capacity according to business plans.

In modern web apps, that's served by issuing a transaction id to user actions, and tracing that through all the systems and sub-systems required to service that transaction. That's your data plane.

Unfortunately, the next step of applying queuing theory to your software model is almost moot in a multi-core, multi-machine world with GPU's on a modern memory bus, because the model cannot be both abstract and accurate.

But the real problem is cultural: IT is willing to set targets for measures it can own and manipulate, but it's much, much less willing to commit to business unit measures that senior management can see clearly. Indeed, one of the best ways to understand how IT fits into the organization is to ask what's being measured.
Hate speech isn't protected, in case you mean that.

Governemt criticism and whistleblowing is generally regarded more highly. As far as I can tell Snowden is well respected and the idea of granting him asylum is fairly popular (it almost happened, but the US's pressure is strong).

The laws in place aren't as good as you'd hope, though. The powers that be are, for some reason, not very happy with the idea of it becoming easier to expose their misbehavior, so protections for whistleblowers are not all that great. There was a recent attempt to pass a law that improves these protections, but it got watered down quite far.
I knew there were color schemes for the color blind.

Schemes for the blind are news to me though
Agree. I tried this with figuring out the name of a logical fallacy. And it led to a rabbit hole of info.
It sounds crass, but this really would be the make-or-break use-case just like it was for the VHS and DVD formats.

I do wish Elon fulfilled his promise of 'free speech absolutism', but unfortunately it's not possible with advertising today. The problem is we have no choice here given the censorship of other social media companies so anything is better than what we had before.

I'm not sure when in the last 9 months since he bought Twitter you found Elon reflective and "down". It's been lunacy after lunacy every single week.

Does it seem like manic? Yes. But when this behavior is persistent, not sure bipolar is the diagnosis per se.

I think this is a point where we'll fundamentally disagree, for all practical intents and purposes, no regular user ever has or ever will read the manual for their smartphone. Your phone comes with one, have you read it? Documentation is a crutch for complexity and it's only acceptable for hard topics and advanced users. Most people don't even touch the manuals for all the appliances they own, never mind your elderly relatives. If they run into a problem, they'll ask someone to help, not look for the manual.
For the non-pilots here, roughly what is a forward-slip? I understand a little bit about flying, but not enough to grok the explanations/diagrams.

Is it a high-altitude, low-power approach to the runway, where full flaps are used to bleed off more altitude and speed? How is that different from a regular approach?
My issue is that the author doesn’t seem to know what a breaking change is. Spec itself is annoying to me for a couple reasons, but this isn’t some novel insight of Rich Hickey’s: the claim about relaxing preconditions and strengthening postconditions is in Bertrand Meyer’s _Object Oriented Software Construction_ and is a relatively basic claim in texts about what it means for software to be correct.
You’re acting as if Musk’s actions don’t affect anyone. Ask the two decapitated individuals who died at the hands of Tesla auto pilot how they feel about Musk’s poor decision making. People had communities they liked on Twitter and Musk destroyed them ruining careers and upending lives in the process.

And he did it all so capriciously. There still doesn’t seem to be any reason for it.

Seriously, fuck that guy.

Text Embeddings Reveal (Almost) as Much as Text
I wrote a similar article for the Knowledge Base of the Kurento project I'm maintaining:

https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/latest/knowledge/nat.h...

Visualization is the more powerful tool to help readers conceptualize the text, but it's also difficult to get right. After some experimentation with diagramming tools, I ended up going for an ASCII-based view.

It's important to not overlook the section "Types of NAT in the Real World", which is just a quote from the relevant part of Wikipedia, to essentially say that in practice none of these theoretical models are perfectly found in real-world equipment. Still a useful differentiation to learn, but one shouldn't expect network equipment to behave as one of the described categories 100% of the time.
They are also popular when establishing an office space, or when recruiting en masse for job opportunities/
Sure, but there will be enterprising developers looking to go far beyond that not very interactive approach. Hand tracking plus a full gaming PC plus 3D rendering has some... obvious possible end results.
Astrology benefits greatly from the pigeonhole fallacy. With as few as twelve pigeonholes in most astrological predictions, of course there are going to be enough people overfitted to the model that any prediction "succeeds" for enough people that you can claim all the failures were within the bounds of statistical error.

It's related to why MBTI lasted so long as "science" because it proved many concrete predictions through overfitting and hand-waving away errors as statistical anomalies rather than the pigeonhole principle at work. There are still plenty of people that think it valid. Perhaps ironically, MBTI even seems to making a comeback among many of the same people that are flocking to Astrology. If you're going to live by one pigeonhole fallacy you might as well live by more than one, I suppose.

Carl Sagan had quite a bit to say about Astrology. A lot of it was about Kepler, how he was strongly influenced by Astrology and how his mind was like a bridge between the two realities.

Does DietPi use systemd ?
We definitely do. And my intent wasnt to proselytize about it. More to just explain the reasoning.

I have had fraud due to things outside of my control that took hundreds of hours and months to recover from. Some being from family of all things. But an Ebay/Paypal EFT with a previous bank (Suntrust) causing recurring overdrafts and a LOT of effort to get it to stop caused a lot of the afformentioned structure.

We are both fairly stringent on spending, myself having had to crawl out of CC debt, so sticking to budget and keeping spending in check isnt so hard anymore. We definitely still have plenty of other safeguards as well.

For example any loan we "reverse engineer" to design it to a specific payment that sets a budget limit. And for things like cars, we keep that loan to no more than $300/month. And once the car is paid off we continue putting that 300/month into a savings account for repairs and/or down payment on the next vehicle when repairs start to exceed the value of the vehicle.

We also do the same for the kids college funds etc,.

You could just use onion services to to hide the server, and store some backup onion services (whose private keys are kept offline) within the application or its files. When the server goes down due to seizure, you spin up a new one under the backup service's pubkey, and sign a list of new backup keys which will also be kept offline until the next seizure.

You could also combine encryption with steganography, if you strip non-random 'protocol information' from your encrypted bits. Doing that, it would not be easy to prove that you are sending encrypted messages at all without having obtained your keys.
Don't transformers typically have a <bot> token at the beginning of the prompt? This seems equivalent to letting the network attend to this token, and produce a zero value if that's what it wants.

Do contributions to OCID and MLP from Tower Collector get used?
I'm using Tower Collector on Android and upload the data to Mozilla Location Provider and OpenCelliD. I have an account at OCID and a personal API key that I entered into the collector app.

Uploads are reported to be successful to both providers from Tower Collector, but my OCID dashboard shows no activity, and uploads to MLP don't seem to be tied to any account. I asked OCID via email about their dashboard and they say they only offer community support and didn't bother to answer the question. I posted a forum post there and nobody responded in 12 days.

How can I find out if the data being uploaded from Tower Collector is going anywhere useful instead of /dev/null and actually being used somewhere?

I don't think this is something that I can answer, but at the very least it says that you're neutral enough toward it to allow it to speak into your life.
Sure but that's pretty unsustainable if your entire marketing spend is around getting a michelin star... i think if you lose a star and you go out of business it means you're probably not as good at marketing / product + market fit as most of the local coffee shops etc.
This is right below the "Have Attention Spans Been Declining? – Yes, 65%" post, lol brilliant. In general, human decreasing, AI increasing- attention.
This looks amazing, thanks for sharing it.

I'm interested in a few angles that are leading me to look at your self-hosted option - is there any customizability that is possible?

For example being in Canada, the basic features will work great, but some of the other types of accounts or programs will be different. It would be nice to be able to set it up in the software, and failing that, see if learning how the backend works with a self-host license will allow addition of different items.

I was just thinking about something like this last week - financial literacy can have an outsized impact on anyone's life, and being able to generate so many scenarios can make a huge difference in visualizing things so clearly for the formula of one's own life.

Well, he is the cofounder of X(.com). It just took a few decades to fully execute his vision.
> The internal investigation into the incident laid the blame partially upon Captain Bob Pearson and First Officer Maurice Quintal, who should have observed the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and grounded the aircraft since it lacked functioning fuel gauges. Some of the responsibility was also assigned to the maintenance workers, and to “corporate deficiencies.” As a consequence Pearson was briefly demoted, and Quintal was suspended for two weeks. Nonetheless both pilots continued to work for Air Canada, and in 1985 they received the well-deserved Fédération Aéronautique Internationale Diploma for Outstanding Airmanship for their handling of the unusual landing.

Interesting. What kind of demotion did Boeing or Air Canada receive?
Both Fortran and Julia have a concise syntax for array operations, and both, with a little care, can produce fast programs. Unless you want to program in C or C++, those are your only options¹ for high-level languages that have already proven themselves in high performance computing.

I wouldn’t advise rewriting a substantial Fortran project in Julia; but for new projects, Julia is the better choice. Fortran is excellent in the scientific/numerical high performance niche, but it’s still awkward to move beyond that; it’s still stuck in the Formula Translator role. So the non-numerical parts of the program, that deal with input/output, for example, are awkward; Julia is more pleasant to program these tasks.

Julia lets you build your program interactively, by trying things out in the REPL. This alone may be sufficient reason to prefer it over Fortran.

Although most scientists won’t become sophisticated as programmers, for those that will, Julia can grow with them. It has extensive support for metaprogramming (for example), including real macros. Its type/dispatch system, and other features, allow you to write far more concise and better organized code than you can in Fortran. Sharing code and composing libraries² is easier in Julia.

Really, Julia is just more fun to program in.

That is indeed trivial.
And it was the best idea I had before asking my question.
But I though it was too trivial to even mention.
I’d somewhat agree that culturally we just don’t value sustained single task work anymore. If you can’t multitask 15 things then you’re useless.
Isn't this exactly what Apple did with the M1 chips when they were first being released? Plus, Apple announced they would do developer kit applications for the Vision Pro at the same time they announced the Vision Pro, so they couldn't have based this decision on the traction with third party developers.

> Very, very few action movies need to be more than 100min.

I’ve read somewhere that blockbuster movies are trending longer at the moment, because people are ever less willing to pay the high prices for cinema tickets, drinks and snacks, so movie studios need to offer a really big experience to make it seem worthwhile.
Dropping the "very" would lose some of the sarcasm though.
That’s reassuring, thanks (not sure why you’re getting downvoted!)

Actually astrologers are well aware of this, it's why they sometimes refer to this being the "Age of Aquarius" because the sun is in Aquarius rather than Pisces at the equinox (there aren't strict boundaries so there's some disagreement).

And the effect is called the precession of the equinox. It's not stellar drift.
I think it's fair to describe a forward slip as a maneuver that puts the airplane sideways to use the drag of the fuselage, which is now partially side-on to the airstream, to bleed off speed (energy, really). It's used in situations where you need to bleed altitude quickly without gaining airspeed, which would typically be the outcome of just pointing the nose down—you trade gravitational potential energy for kinetic energy.
> natural selection needs something to select, after all -- and where did that thing come from?

Random mutation. You can blame cosmic rays, transcription errors and a few more problems that cause random mutations.

Note that this random mutations usually cause very small changes. For example making the neck a 1% shorter or longer. In some cases, the longer neck helps to get to the food and not starve. You need a lot of 1% small changes to get a giraffe.

It's not like in the X-men movies that a mutation gives you fully formed wings.

Note that most mutations are bad, you get a 99% less efficiency eating sugar, or 50% less calcium in the bones or other very bad stuff. Or a dead cell or a crazy cell that is the seed of a cancer. So sunbathing under an X-ray lamp all day is a very bad idea.
I doubt someone who’s such a small developer that they recently let their dev account expire would be considered for this. They’ll be targeting big and established developers not people who decide to spend $99 on a dev account so they can access cool toys early.
I really don't see an antitrust violation in "we added the ability to more easily search your Mac, in a similar fashion to an existing app". Even the original Watson seems based largely off Google's "what if the search UI was just a single text field?" approach.
Well, this platform is uniquely well suited for porn. It would be a massive system seller for them if it were allowed. It goes beyond just videos, interactive experiences are a new thing for porn and you need to actually be able to install an app to make them work.

There is historical precedent for platform winners being the one that had the support of the porn industry. See: Blu-ray vs HD-DVD and others.
Is there a certain kind of UI you envision for more first-class support for insurance modeling? Curious to hear your take on the best way to integrate that into the current setup.
I mean, sure? Fine by me.
I like that this is a solo-dev project, but there's probably loke, a good chunk of people who like this tool likely have built some kind of spreadsheet or other thing to get close to it and likely know exactly what they would like to see for certain things.

Having the abilty to perhaps build our own models and keep them to ourselves, or maybe have them available to share might not be a bad idea.

I'm not sure if this is reporting, or setting up a sequence or frequency of payments, etc. Depends on the backend I suppose.
I sure hope it wasn't a response to that! Twitter dealt with that in 2017!

If your character is about chilling and hanging out it's unlikely to be one a billionaire.

Most people getting into that group donthat by focussing their time on making money. This usually requires quite some dedication, which is a character trait you can't simply replace for going to the beach.

There are exceptions, but it's rare. And then there are the ones who got spoiled as a kid and were lucky with some decisions, like making some good real estate deals in Manhatten or finding the right partners to build some online payment service, who never learned about responsibility.
