Not bipolar, but comfortably in the spectrum, and I matched the details pretty well. What he does not mention, which from my point of view is important , is the tendency to go down rabbit holes. Lisp is a shallow rabbit hole and you do get the satisfaction of getting it without an huge investment. And I do love lisp with passion, but never finished anything using it. Python is therapeutic in a way. It can get you to finish that “assignment” at last moment with less of a feeling that you should perfect it. If you are that eventually B student, do not fret, you can do quite well professionally when meaning is linked to livelihood.

What I've seen of current experiments with integrating LLMs into NPC conversations (I believe someone even got it integrated with a Skyrim mod, iic) is that to skirt around this issue, they just make HTTP requests to OpenAI or whatever. Game runs smoothly, but there's still a weird lag around NPC responses that makes it feel stilted and unnatural, and obviously relies on having a stable internet connection at all times.
When we did this, I think we had some git hooks to make sure that no comments in "review form" were left when merging. So you'd have to go through all the comments and at least remove them.
AdBlock does not, so which one does?
That's right. It's not the best practice, i totally agree with that. The problem is, i already removed the files but Google is not accepting that. And also they are doing the same business with VirusTotal, but its working really well.

> I agree that e-mail is not perfect, but... how is GitHub better?

Please look at my comment again. I prefer email to locked in forges.

> Devs like new shiny toys, and e-mails are old technology

There is one aspect where such forges have an advantage over email - a better user experience. Aerc and the likes all good - but Github and others provide a good user experience over a tool that everyone uses - the web browser.

> we should have something better than e-mail in 2023

We really should have something better than email. I'm saying this as someone who operates a personal mail server and a bunch of desktop services for it. It's really hard to get the setup correct.

In that context, it's worth looking at forgefed (https://forgefed.org/). It's a protocol for federating forges like Gitea and Gitlab. It's built on top of ActivityPub - which behaves a bit like email (it has inboxes and outboxes for every user). From the spec, it seems like pull requests happen by sending patches to the destination forge.

> Nobody takes the time to try the e-mail workflow (even though it's really two git commands)

Email workflow seems simple. But there are two things that make it complicated:

1. The patches don't specify the commits they apply to. It's simply assumed that they apply to the head of the main branch. The commits have to be carefully rebased on the main branch before sending the patches. It could otherwise lead to conflicts and a lot of wasted time.

2. Each commit/patch is send as a single email. Developers usually make frequent commits when they develop. Such patches can be confusing and hellish to review. A sane patchset requires the developers to edit the commit history, usually using interactive rebases. Each commit should contain a single feature and shouldn't break the build.

I consider both the above to be good development practices and follow them even on my personal projects. However, this is an additional barrier to entry. In fact, this may be a bigger problem for many than setting up git for email.
Textbook whataboutism. Google is objectively evil, what that has to do with Firefox, my "user agent", showing me Disney ads?
It's funny how they had to recall the CPUs (even if they tried to make it harder), and now, with all the security issues (from spectre to downfall), where the patches cause a massive CPU performance hit, noone is yelling for a recall.
Leaving aside any question of "why?", you miss the core point here.

I am all for AI research and integrating more AI use into society. Currently working on tools based on GPT. I think it has incredible potential to help humans.

But at the same time, I am sure that AI does not need to have a hard takeoff to be extremely dangerous. It just needs to get a bit smarter and somewhat faster every few months. Within less than a decade we will have systems that output "thoughts" and actions at least dozens of times faster than humans.

That will be dangerous if we aren't cautious. We should start thinking now about limiting the performance of AI hardware. The challenge is that increasing the speed is such a competitive advantage, it creates a race. That is a concern when you put it into a military context.

The CEO of Palantir has already called for a Manhattan Project for superintelligent AI weapons control systems.
Maybe there are different causes in different zones.

For example, ozone layer hole sure did increase the cases in South America.

In North America, maybe the industrialization and bad diet.
I doubt it’s related to this, but I do wonder if we’ve passed peak robustness in the human genome with modern medicine and technology insulating it from the crucible of natural selection.
Agreed, it is a fantastic read.
I completely agree, if you don't make many reviews and if it does not happen often.

But still it puts the burden on the reviewer rather than on the patch author. And the reviewer's time is never less precious. If you need a review from Linus Torvalds, I think it makes sense to make it as seamless as possible for him. And that is what the e-mail workflow does, I would say.
Article doesn't quantify how much "dramatic" is. While I read the source (it's not in the abstract either), anyone wants to guess what percentage it is that they call dramatic?

(Of course, more than zero is worth looking into, I'm just curious if the alarmism is warranted.)

Edit: citing my comment below, the best info I could reasonably find on mobile (I'm now 35 minutes into answering the question that the stupid headline raised) is:

> - it's about +5% as a very rough estimate of an overall average.

> - The highest I see is typically in Korea, up to about 20%, but often (for different cancer types) also around 5% or even negative in one case. (Keep in mind that 20% more may be peanuts if the original chance was one in a million. Is thyroid cancer common?)

> - USA average is more like 2% I'd guess, with maxima of like 5%.

> - Sweden is negative as often as positive, maybe +1%? Large error bars, though.

> Dramatic? You be the judge, but the original authors never used that word

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I'll definitely take a look, although at this point I am so comfortable with Snakemake, it is a bit hard to imagine what would convince me to move to another tool. But I like the idea of composable pipelines: I am building a tool (too early to share) that would allow to lay Snakemake pipelines on top of each other using semi-automatic data annotations similar to how it is done in kedro (https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro).
If you actually look at how strong the radiation phones put out is, you'd realize there's basically no way.

The power is at a maximum 3 watts, and is usually measured in milliwatts if you're somewhere with excellent reception.

This is roughly on par with the amount of heat released while charging. Not fast charging mind you, charging with an old micro usb 5v charger.

Compare this to a radio station which can transmit tens of kilowatts of power. If radio waves could cause cancer, people who work at radio stations would be riddled with it, and radio stations have been around a lot longer than phones.

You clearly didn't bother to read the article, did you (ie trend started in 90s if not earlier, also many of those are directly digestive system).

Is anybody actually surprised? We eat crappier and crappier food, even basic stuff like vegetables is heavily modified, pumped directly with insecticides, herbicides, and drains from nearby farms that could contain literally anything. Most fish went from very healthy to questionable at best. We move much much less. We have more but are less happy and have more stressful lives. Race to bottom puts sugar into all processed foods just to make them more addictive. Microplastics. BPAs. PFOAs. And so on and on. The idea that somehow this would have 0 negative effect is a bit naive, no?
My experience, I use usb flash drives as the system drive in my nas, is that sandisk makes the best flash, samsung is next best and kingston is garbage.

It has been a few years since one failed(thus the ringing endorsement of sandisk) but I started out with kingston datatravelers and burnt through 3 of them in 6 months, I am still a bit sore about this because the data traveler was the perfect form factor, I then bought a mix of sandisk cruiser fits and samsung bars, in the 5 years following, one of the samsung units has failed and I am still on that first sandisk fit.

The kingston units might be perfectly fine under normal use, but exhibited all sorts of strange problems when used as a system drive.

If curious it is a truenas box with the system installed on a two unit usb flash mirror. The way truenas works it is sort of a waste to install it on anything large, so while less than ideal(buy lots of spares) usb flash fits better.

I can’t find any assertion in the post about the content of any of the input data sets or search keys, other than that they’re “unpredictable”.

>They couldn’t precisely measure what proportion of this growing prevalence could solely be attributed to screening and early detection. However, they noted that increased incidence of many of the 14 cancer types is unlikely due to enhanced screening alone.

I hope the majority of the increase is due to enhanced screening. Anything that gives us more time to solve the cancer problem!
Nearly all of the clinical benefits of psychotherapy are delivered in the first few sessions. Some studies suggest an inverse correlation between duration and effect size - people in long-term therapy may have worse outcomes than people who complete a short course of therapy.

Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for most common mental health problems, but if you're going to therapy for more than 12-18 weeks, you're doing something other than treating a mental illness. You're likely getting something out of it otherwise you'd stop going, but that thing isn't improving your mental health in any meaningful way and may be actively causing harm.

I'd strongly encourage people to try psychotherapy if they're experiencing psychological distress, but I'd also strongly advise them to go in with a clear sense of what they'd like to achieve. If a therapist isn't willing to work with you in the first couple of sessions to create a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound plan for your therapy, you should be very wary. Therapists who advocate an open-ended approach that eschews goal-setting and objective outcomes in favour of a nebulous sense of "insight" or "growth" aren't delivering evidence-based care and aren't acting in the interests of their clients.

SUSE is a niche player that was bought out in various forms a number of times.

Don't know Prisma.

Gitlab is losing money.

counterpoint: Let's assume you develop a software written in Python for $dayjob and you're targeting Python 3.8 because that's where your deployment target is. It's Monday morning, you fire up your work machine and the code that was working fine on Friday doesn't run anymore. Now you're scrambling to get some version of Python 3.8 installed to /opt.

TLDR: There are a million circumstances where you don't want things to auto-update (even if auto-update means: "I run `apt/yum/foo upgrade" every morning". It's a story as old as time, if you're not only a user, upgrades are (and should be) often a deliberate choice, more important the more you go from patch level towards major version.

(waiting for the people to chime in that this broken anyway and you should never work without Docker, etc.pp - I know, I know. It's just a real example why I run Arch on my personal machine but am more than happy with Ubuntu LTS on my work machine. I change minor/major version when I want.)

There is plenty of natural selection going on. A large amount of people will not have kids this decade due to anti-natalist propaganda and wars (Chiraq, Ukraine, Africa, etc.). Each time someone does not have a child, there is a future fractal effect of their decision which does not occur. Namely their kids won't have kids, etc., for all possible future generations. So in essence each couple that has more than two kids on average moving forward through the future has a massive impact on the future population. Also there are huge changes to the global genome composition as a result of mixed race breeding. It was much more rare before 1980. So nobody can claim that peak robustness has been reached unless you can specify some testable metric for it.
