> It's superficially easy to find a 28 year old, and would take a slight bit of effort to get with a 23 year old. And all bets are off if someone is ok going to eastern Europe or Asia.

Yeah, sure, buddy. If you think taking advantage of desperate woman from second/third world country with whom you have generational and culture gap so big that it’s like adopting a daughter for sex, who’s ready to leave with first foreigner, is the same as meeting your life’s partner at 18-20s and living and experiencing whole life with them - then good luck, you have all your chances, haha.

> "Lost your chance in life" is retarded.

Why did I even bother replying. Did you find your way from Reddit, Blind or 4chan?
Does language really count? It emerged as noises and refined over the years. It's not something anyone invented, or even discovered. It simply came to be all by itself, until humanity reached a point where it could be formalized/standardized (idk the proper term, I'm sure you get what I mean).

Regardless ... people's ignorance is showing. Too many never think about the fact that people just 200-100 years ago would have considered modern technology magic.

Imagine showing off to one of these people:

Omfg you're speaking into a flat rectangle!

Omfg it speaks back!

Omfg it shows pictures!

Omfg that box speaks!

That's a high price tag! On my Hetzner instance I pay 0.5€ per month and IPv4 adress, so 6€ per year.
...you can just _do_ that? Channels, model save fires realtime frontend update, frontend handles that update.

For me it's also interesting how we closed the gap between scientific discoveries and the general public to know about them.
With the advent of pre-print servers, you can read this basically "next day".
> This assumes that all the talent in the world has a cheaper, equally skilled counterpart in India.

In the context of tech, this is true in general.

> This is not true, and even if it was, why wouldn't talented Indians leave the country in search for better wages?

You can't be this ignorant. Indians flock to USA, Canada, Australia, UK and numbers that are only limited by the receiving country's immigration laws. To give you an example, last week 7000 students from just one Indian state left for Canada. They rented an entire stadium to throw themselves a big farewell party. H1B visa lottery has only 85K spots in USA but is subscribed by around 300K folks. Out of which around 200K are Indians trying to come to /settle in USA.

When canada created a special work permit for digital nomads who have h1b visa over 10K Indians applied for it matter of 48 hours.

There is a quit India movement among Indian workers.
Umm, yes, pre effective treatments lots of people died of syphilis which of course wasn’t well understood and had lots of false cures. It still kills hundreds of thousands of people today!

Am I being pedantic or is something off about the writing in this article.

> The very biggest blue whales could reach near 200 tonnes, but that was before commercial whaling

"very biggest"? Doesn't "biggest" already cover very?

"near"? Wouldn't "nearly" be more grammatically correct.

"but that was before commercial whaling"? Wouldn't a more professional way of writing this be "until the advent of commercial whaling"

This all sounds like a speech of a tour guide being made towards children not a scientific article in the BBC.

Speaking of tour guide, the section bringing in the Natural History Museum was wild to me. Yes, the museum's whale skeleton is a beautiful sight for visitors to see, but "The London whale skeleton is a key resource for scientists worldwide" -> huh?? Blue Whales are far from extinct, why would scientists need to go to this one museum for skeletons, surely they can be found from other sources?

But really, I was on guard from the very beginning of the article that started with FIVE consecutive paragraphs made up of single sentences. What strange paragraph breaks, why not combine them into 2 or 3 max?
I’m sympathetic to the issue in OP, but the reality is that we all deal with their work (indirectly) every day and not being poisoned is going great for hundreds of millions of people.

Meanwhile the audible complaints from people dealing with them “directly” and evincing what you find “appropriately honest” amounts to a very biased sample. The acuity of the need for reform is far from settled, at least if we’re looking for an empirical basis.
How do you explain the almost three orders of magnitude drop in resistance in Fig. 6d in one of the original articles ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12037.pdf ) with a few LK-99 particles sprinkled here an there? There must be a current path along which more than 99.8% of the material is in the supposed superconducting state. So the particles almost touch but not quite yet?

I think the more likely explanation is that the particles do touch each other but the interface is not superconductive. In other words, it is a polycrystalline material, and most of it is LK-99, but the grain boundaries are not a very good conductor. In conventional superconductors grain boundaries don't disrupt superconductivity because they are 3D superconductors, but in this allegedly 1D superconductor the superconducting channels in most cases don't meet at the grain boundaries, so the current has to overcome the resistance of some material that is almost an insulator.

If that is the case it will be difficult to produce a material that is macroscopically superconducting. But I hope researchers will be able to make single crystals that are large enough for resistance measurements so that finally it can be determined if this material is a superconductor or not. For practical uses the best result that can be achieved with this material may be a metal-LK-99 composite where the LK-99 particles lower the resistivity of the metal by 50-90%.
The whole point of Android certification is that you are following Google's rules. If you make something that is not certified you can not get play services.

Similar, I recall hearing 2k years on some program. No source. The idea was that accidental deaths will happen. On mobile, but you could look up accidental death records to get the rate and then project out average lifespan.

Still, that is averages. A cruel despot may never leave their palace fearing death and will always have security. They will have less opportunities for accidents.
> Fully decoding the cellular mechanism of cells allowing for the curing of any disease, repairing any genetic disorder.

Honestly that doesn’t seem likely to be a black swan event. Not because it is never going to happen, more because it won’t be an event but a slow progression.

It is more likely that as we understand more and more we will be able to cure more and more. It is not like there is some silver bullet piece of research where sudenly we have “fully decoded the celular mechanism”. Plus even if we somehow suddenly and all at once atained all that knowledge (perhaps a flying saucer takes pitty on us and beams down a whole library documenting our cells) it would take a long time while we turn that knowledge into helpfull interventions. And even that progress would be multiple generations long.

It is how becoming a black-belt martial artist is not an “event”. You don’t go from zero to that in one night. It is more of a progression where every day you are about as proficient as you were the previous one, but maybe a tiny bit better. Just applied on a whole species level.
In Europe, there's Sensodyne Promine Repair+.

Recently I was eating some dried mulberries and I chewed a stone (it was hidden inside a cluster), rendering two of my teeth sensitive and probably damaged my enamel.

Using this for 2.5 months now, and my teeth are neither sensitive, nor I feel that damage anymore. I'll continue a couple of more tubes of this, and It'll be probably completely repaired.

I guess what chrisjj might have meant is that "debugging" usually starts with a bug, a or symptom. So in case of debugging the standard library, it usually is a problem in your own code that you cannot explain and try to blame on an error of the subsystem. In those cases, having access to a source-level debugger can be useful but in my experience this the subsystem is usually not where you'll find the error; more often it's in your own code.

So in case of this article, ask: what is the symptom of an alleged bug in the standard library that the author is trying to uncover?

This article is more about using the online debugger to explore parts of the standard library. Which is interesting, but as others have pointed out probably not the best way to familiarize yourself with a language or library.
Once those are developed, anti-anti-drone drones won't be far behind
Vaguely related I have been reading a lot of the first modern books (e.g. from 1850-1930) ish. (Dostoyevsky, Kirkegard and so on). And it is truely fascinating, how modern they feel.

Not quite sure what your problem with this is. The people who paid for it weren't all absurdly rich (it doesn't cost an utter fortune) and the people who run it do so willingly and often with great motivation because many of them also have a personal curiosity stake in seeing if they can make it work somehow. I've seen and read interviews with staff at cryopreservation organizations and companies (particularly Alcor). They're far, far from slaves to rich oligarchs and many of them love their work and are very interested in its technical aspects.

There's nothing revolting to wanting to see if by some change in technology or chance, you can live longer than normal, or be revived, so long as you're not taking from someone elses life or well-being to do so.

Also, the electrical requirements behind these services are miniscule compared to those of many, many other at least as frivolous (and i'd say often more frivolous things, some of which people right on this site earn their money from.

It's stunning how many people extrapolate their own completely emotional, subjective reactions to certain things that do them no harm into wanting to destroy or stop them.
I think the above comment is spot on, the level of hypocrisy here is quite off the charts. With "protocol" defense, would you view the content with adblock if the browser displayed a gate screen (that adblock didn't block - e.g. a separate page with a custom one-time link to content) saying "by viewing the content I created you consent to view ads. Yes / no" - yes serves HTTP 200 with no enforcement. You could argue "yes serves HTTP 200, protocol yada yada, they should have blocked it", but how, other than the amount of property lost, is it really different from e.g. someone jumping into your car when you step out for 10 seconds and driving away cause hey, you should have locked it?

I also use adblock, but I'm honest with myself - ads suck, and I'm a dick who doesn't care about most content creators. If they ask for money (e.g. on Substack), I pay them or stop reading them. If they use ads I block them cause I don't care. Kinda like speeding on a highway - probably not a right thing to do, oh well if they catch me I'll pay a fine... no need to invent some bogus defense about how speed limits are wrong.
You're probably right about the Portugal example, I don't know enough about it to know if it is the solution for sure. I was just grasping for what I could only think of as the best possible solution. Perhaps there truly is no solution.

But criminalization certainly isn't the solution. Hiding the problem in order to allow the rest of society to ignore it more easily is obviously (to me at least) less desirable than having it in the open where we are all forced to share at least some small part of the burden, the hope being that this will push us to find real solutions.

Re: ketamine - the point is that many these folks are seeking an escape from an unbearable life. In that position, there is really no desire to neuter the drug. I'm pretty sure Suboxone availability is not the issue. Ketamine on the other hand might provide a similar escape without most of the harmful side effects. It's pretty obvious that ketamine is much less harmful in every way than heroin.
Somehow I fear such large magnets might come with unwanted side effects?
That totally misses the point of quality software. What good is memory safety if you medical device crashes because of an out of memory error?

What I'm trying to say: There are use cases where areas of safety are required other than memory safety.
And I hope you can separate colonialism from empire building. European colonization was meant to enrich the host state at the expense of the colony.

Whereas the Mughals outright conquered India, moved there and lived in it for the next 400 years. Their kids lived and died in India. They cut of their ties with their brethren in Samarkand and more importantly did not take India's wealth outside of India. The fact is most historic Indian Jewels (i.e. Kohi noor) are locked up in London, not Samarkand.

Comparing the Mughals with the European colonizers is silly. The fact is Mughals became as Indian as the natives who lived there. They married locals and looked like them eventually. See the last picture of the Mughal emperor imprisoned by the British: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahadur_Shah_Zafar#/media/File...

He looks like a dark skinned Indian Yogi.

GPS is a pretty cool case. It's not the first navigation system out there, not even close. But the designers did something pretty forward-thinking and a bit risky: they made a big chart of all the different ways to implement GPS. A system where the ground based receivers has to talk back to the satellite. A system where every user needs their own atomic clock. A system where every user needs to communicate with a satellite. A system where every user needs to communicate with a separate ground station. Systems whose accuracy decreased at higher velocities. etc. The final solution was one that required more satellites, but allowed users to determine their own 4D position without needing any outside resources. The only downside was that it required portable atomic clocks, which didn't exist yet.

Not sure if that's black swan territory or not, but IMO it was a great piece of forward-thinking that made GPS useful beyond just the original military applications.

Started on atomoxetine in February - I was 47 - the difference it has made with regards to staying on task, and short term memory is staggering. Doesn't really help with motivation though, sadly.

I wasn't aware of the long term positive changes, perhaps this is what my psych should have said instead of giving me an analogy of floating down a river and wanting me to carry on down that same stream without the meds...
I wonder how a room temperature normal pressure super conductor changes the calculus - high temperature super conducting tape still requires a lot of infrastructure to keep it that cold. A super conductor up to water boiling point seems like it might change things for magnetic containment fusion?

they make available the capital for innovation, their investment in the most lucrative markets is propelling research to heights that state planned investment can only envy from the sidelines, and the availability of concentrated capital allows for production methods that are unavailable to distributed means of produciton, so much that the production output for bleeding edge technology is absolutely overwhelming even when distributed or stated owner proprietorship had a head start in research, see for example radar "stealth" technology originating in russia in the 60s.

> I guess it explains why I feel s out of touch with people welcoming walled gardens with open arms.

It's interesting, I hate walled gardens due to their restrictions, but I feel no restrictions regarding Steam. If anything, it enables me to enjoy my purchases more, not less.

I'd never use an iPhone because I hate the restrictiveness of their app store and how you cannot use whatever browser engine you want. I dislike consoles for the same reasons, I hate that I need to buy a switch and play on it (with it's inferior hardware) to enjoy Nintendo exclusives (yes, I am aware I can emulate their games and get a better experience). I hate Discord because they force you to use their client and still use mumble/IRC. There are probably examples of things I avoid because I don't want to support them.

I find Valve a completely different story. They've probably done more for Linux gaming than any other company. I am personally not inconvenienced by any of their restrictions. Like I previously said, in my mind, they add value to my game purchases, not remove it. I will gladly keep giving them my money, it's probably one of the few companies that I have strong positive feelings for.

Granted, I do remember being pissed off when they forced me to install Steam to play Half-life 2 back in 2004. Back then, it was a shit walled garden that provided no value. But since then, things have changed drastically.

state resources are always a fraction of the gdp trough whatever form of taxation. larger industrial base means proportional less burden on the society. that is why for example urss imploded, taxation was too high and spent too wastefully on military budget to be sustainable long term, while usa could spend that money on the defense budget, infrastructure, et etc, while still being sutainable from the economy, because the industrial base was so much larger.

One somewhat ironic fact of this story is that the rogue former employee perhaps deserves some credit for bringing this thing out into the world.

They had been working on this for quite a long time themselves, rightfully so. But now the whole world is working on it and exploring other methods and combinations of materials I would assume (to improve upon the original design and avoid any patents).

How long would they have kept this thing to themselves without the rogue employee bringing this thing to light?

Perhaps that was part of the rogue former employee's motivation in "going rogue": that this thing needs to see the light of day so it can start to benefit humanity.
