> Well, I agree that encoding is compression, at least, but the rest of that statement I do disagree with!

IMHO that Shannon's paper you linked is effectively the initial work for linking prediction with compression, showing how the information transmitted (and the necessity for transmitted information) decreases as you can more accurately predict the likelihoods of the next symbol.
I just think that's significantly different from "breaking" the old web. Nothing is broken.
imagine this - the government took over and covered up with "not working" theory. Maybe a key ingredient is missing which was not mentioned in the original paper.

> I doubt we will all be dead in some cataclysmic event until then.

Please don't derail the topic.

Your first comment on this thread was a response to DoingIsLearning's prediction: "Start suing start and start lobbying. It is pretty much the only thing left bar from going full eco terrorist (which I believe is entirely likely in our current timeline)."

That isn't a claim or concern that there will be cataclysmic event.

Think more like 'Weather Underground'-style bombings on local gas stations.

BTW, the way you wrote it makes it appears that you only care about yourself, and don't care if a cataclysmic event affects your children or any others who come after you. You might want to think of a better way to phrase your argument.
In the US, you have a "credit report" for your retail returns. If your returns are determined to e.g., be excessive (even if your other returns were at different retailers), you might be denied the return.

The comment was about small town culture. Your examples of big city cosmopolitanism don't contradict my argument. But to answer your points on your own terms, the survival of some subculture in NYC is dependent on separation. What Jewish culture are you referring to if not the intentionally separate Orthodox? Or what Ethiopian DC subculture if not the first generation whose children and grandchildren will abandon those interesting restaurants as they integrate into the cosmopolitan diaspora and melt into a global sameness. The sameness that every big city is trending towards.
I should have said intellisense.

I'm not up to speed in JSX, how is it be better there? Don't one normally map over an array to loop? You cannot use for-loops inside JSX?

Or do you create an array of JSX-elements, like

let elements=[]
for (let i=0; i < 10; i++) {
elements.push(<li key={i}>I'm number {i}</li>)
}
return <ol>{elements}</ol>;

Does not seem like an improvement to me.
For anyone generally curious about the ME/CFS patient experience and state of medicine, there are a couple good articles in The Atlantic[0][1].

For those interested in latest research, Dr. Bhupesh Prusty presented[2] a very plausible hypothesis with detailed evidence[3] of virus-triggered autoimmunity causing mitochondrial dysfunction in endothelial cells (vascular system).

And there's a promising treatment for Long COVID with a study[4] claiming improvement in many symptoms, and describing the targeted mechanism of disease pathology (also vascular system). Needs trials and replication, or until then doctors willing to risk off-label treatment.

> These folks STILL want the ESSENCE of a shared respect and excitement...But when these same folks see a glimpse of collective curiosity...they long for the days of opacity and "mature handling of scientific consensus".

You are claiming that it's the same group of people holding incongruous viewpoints.

My point was that this is likely an illusion caused by the communication medium, i.e. "these people" represent a myriad of individual viewpoints, which may not align because I think "A" and you think "B". Not because I think "A" and "B".

To frame it in this way doesn't allow for a useful exploration of the issue. It casts aside an entire group instead of examining the roots of the problematic behavior. It also creates a straw man - the person who believes both things incongruously, when this person doesn't seem likely to exist, or at least seems likely that this is a rare stance.

> Saying, "You can't please these people about this" is essentially the same as saying "Their attitude about this is not useful"

These are saying very different things. One discards the entire person on the basis of a view you disagree with. This is a road to nowhere. The other allows an examination of the actual behavior, which is arguably far more important if there's a case to be made that someone should change their behavior.

"Oh, you're one of those people" gets you nowhere. "The problem with this line of thinking/attitude is that it limits the potential for public excitement and involvement with the process..." gives you and the person who disagree something to work with.

This isn't about being polite. This is about choosing whether the point is to explore the nature of the problem, or to complain about a group of people.

Enter the temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TXCO). A few $ at most should get you one.

This shouldn't be overkill for a server dedicated to timekeeping on a large company network, right?

In a datacenter one could even go for a matchbox sized atomic clock. Last I checked (years ago) such a miracle device could be had for ~$1500.

Then: how often does atomic clock (or even TXCO) fail, in practice? My guess: only about as often as even the backup power fails.

Note that either should provide accurate timekeeping without even going outside a physical location. That is: without using 'random' NTP server on the internet, GPS or whatever.
Both points are: going to happen at least once every so often no matter the system; and make good headlines due to the controversy and being unprovable (or undisprovable) by their nature.

A relatively comprehensive look into PFAS can be gained by reading the Draft state of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) report published by Health Canada. [1] The Existing Substances Risk Assessment Bureau at Health Canada (which assesses risks of chemicals that are in commerce in Canada), is increasingly moving towards new analysis techniques broadly characterized as New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) (see section 6.2.5 and 7.6 in the report). So, to my understanding, part of the apparent gap in research is being plugged by the application of models which infer chemicals properties, interactions, and effects without needing to study each of them individually to gain at least an initial idea of how they might harm organisms and environments.

See:

> The evolving landscape of chemical production has rendered toxicological testing using traditional models (i.e., live animals) impractical, and advances in science coupled with ethical concerns have resulted in government agencies, including the United States (US EPA 2021b), European Union, and Canada (Bhuller et al. 2021), committing to reduce, refine, and potentially eliminate the use of mammalian models from certain regulatory testing requirements, where scientifically justified. New approach methodologies (NAMs) are broadly described by the international risk assessment community as any technology, method, approach, or a
combination of these that can be used to reduce, refine, or replace animal testing and allow more rapid and effective screening of chemicals. These methods may include the use of computer models or assays with biological molecules, cells, tissues, or organs as well as exposure measurement approaches. [1]

Strep, in particular Streptococcus pyogenes, is really fascinating, and is potentially implicated in a lot of things. It's capable of what's called molecular mimicry, where a virulence factor called M protein cross-reacts with host antigens, causing autoantibodies to attack your own tissue, i.e. autoimmunity [1].

S. pyogenes has been implicated in other autoimmune disorders like psoriasis [2], which we know can be triggered by strep bacteria. In psoriasis, we have some evidence that it may set off a kind of bogus vicious cycle where a type of T-cell called a tissue-resident memory T-cell is "programmed" by an initial bacterial infection, but gets into a confused state where inflammation keeps going even long after the bacteria are physically gone. With other disorders, PANDAS [3], the cross-reactivity causes strep affect the brain and cause neuropsychiatric symptoms.

In some cases, strep bacteria are thought to linger in the body even long after a symptomatic infection, hiding in biofilm or in reservoirs like the tonsils, occasionally re-emerging to cause an immune response, similar to the Epstein-Barr virus. I would not be surprised if strep turns out to be the ultimate cause of some illnesses like ME.

50K IU of Vitamin D per week would push many people into overdose range after a few months. Anyone taking high doses like this needs to also get blood tests to make sure they're not accumulating too much. Remember that it stays in the body a long time and therefore overdose can take many months or over a year to finally show up.

Vitamin D only really has dramatic effects in people who are severely deficient. Despite all of the influencers and podcasts claiming it's a miracle supplement and that we're all deficient, actual Vitamin D studies don't show much or any benefit outside of people who are significantly deficient.

But yes, if your Vitamin D is actually low then getting it into the normal range could have some dramatic effects.

Some doctors will prescribe short courses of Vitamin D as an almost-placebo when they can't find anything else wrong. It works quite well as a placebo for many people because podcast health influencers have been talking about it so much lately.

The build quality issues are what drove me to cancel my preorder. The locking down of features is what will keep me away from this company forever.

It’s a shame. I was really hoping to migrate away from my ICE vehicle (now 6-7 yrs old). Going to stick with it until it becomes financially unfeasible to repair (Fortunately no major repairs yet, only scheduled maintenance and replacement of worn down parts like tires, car battery, wipers, …).

I guess I shouldn’t be too eager to migrate. Especially with the advances in battery tech (“solid state” batteries from Toyota) and significantly improved range over lithium ion batteries.

Just hope this trend of locking down features doesn’t become widespread by the time I need to switch
Thanks for the laugh!

... oh, you're serious.

OK, this is categorically untrue and observably so. 1) One could write a book on consumers buying things or entering into deals that are long-term bad for them but have some combination of short-term convenience / affordability vs. long-term ill effects.

2) In this specific instance it's bad for consumers because Tesla is buying the same amount of raw materials, driving those prices up, and then not actually making them accessible to the user.

3) This assumes that other products that "don't do that" will be available, rather than a common pattern of Vendor A doing a consumer hostile thing, and then all other vendors following suit. I'd point to airlines as exhibit A in this regard. Sure, if Delta does something crappy people might look to Southwest instead ... until Southwest copies Delta due to shareholder demand that they extract maximum profit.
Well, GPT is simply an initialism for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer".

In Germany, a trademark can be lost if it becomes a "Gattungsbegriff" (generic term). This happens when a trademark becomes so well-known and widely used that it becomes the common term for a product or service, rather than being associated with a specific company or brand.

For example, if a company invented a new type of vacuum cleaner and trademarked the name, but then people started using that name to refer to all vacuum cleaners, not just those made by the company, the trademark could be at risk of becoming a generic term; which would lead to a deletion of the trademark. I think this is basically what happens to GPT here.

Btw, there are some interesting exampls from the past were trademarks were lost due to the brand name becoming too popular: Vaseline and Fön (hairdryer; everyone in Germany uses the term "Fön").

I also found some trademarks which are at risk of being lost: "Lego", "Tupperware", "Post" (Deutsche Post/DHL), and "Jeep".

I don't know how all this stuff works in America though. But it would honestly suck if you'd approve such a generic term as a trademark :/

Where I live (Central Oregon) the irrigation districts literally fly planes over the fields of people with water rights and send them warning letters if their fields are insufficiently green. If you're wondering how that affects people who try to use water-saving methods such as hoop houses or greenhouses, they also get these warning letters.

It sounds like where you are, the irrigation water and the municipal supply is also co-mingled in pipes? Where I am the systems are entirely separate, there's the potable municipal supply, and separately a series of surface canals operated by irrigation districts that bring water directly from the Deschutes river to fields.

For this reason (canals delivering irrigation water from source to destination via gravity), irrigation rights are fully tied to the land as they require adjacency to these canals. Properties may not sell their rights, even to other users of the same canal. Either they use it themselves, or they lose it and the rights revert back to the management of the irrigation district who may sell those acre-feet to a different user of the same canal.

It's not a great system, but unfortunately as the irrigation districts here are privately owned rather than public, the people required to change this are those currently benefiting from the status quo.
I have a post-viral syndrome case of chronic fatigue. I've not been diagnosed with CFS formally, but I match many of the symptoms required, including orthostatic intolerance.

It is an extremely complicated condition. I personally have had a pet theory that disturbed barrier function is involved somehow, and seeing this article is extremely confirming for me, since it mentions that as a potential factor. In fact, one study on just the metabolites of people with CFS vs healthy people found that a Vitamin E derivative -- one often a part of healthy cell barrier function -- was significantly lacking in CFS people compared to the normal population, and was a strong marker. However, this seems to have been largely brushed over in later literature, with more popular things like fatty acid processing and such being mentioned.

What has worked for me:
-- Ketogenic diet (avoiding lactic acid production) -- greatly dampened PEMS.
-- Blood glutamate scavengers + Niacinamide + Ribose (1g): Provides NAD + a cofactor needed to transform glutamate in the blood into something else. For some reason, this really seems to help with CFS patients. Helps with resting fatigue. The cheap and accessible BGS I use are NAC, pyruvate, and (sometimes) malic/citric acid. Malic is better as it is right before oxaloacetate, a BGS, in the Krebs cycle, and it turns into Citrate. Citrate IIRC raises the levels of one of the enzymes that eliminates lactic acid. Your blood cells can only use glycogen, so there will always be some level of lactic acid production to be suppressed.
-- Reduced glutamate + free glutamate intake: Lower-glutamate proteins (tuna, etc), no hydrolyzed soy protein, yeast extract, etc.
-- Gotu Kola (biases the glutamate<->GABA conversion towards glutmate->GABA as I understand, a double-bonus), various anti-inflammatories (Quercetin+non-citrus C, liposomal Turmeric+curcuminoids (!! Important, piperine inhibits both Pgp and glucoronidation, which increases absolutely everything in absorption. Liposomal is better), and boswellia for LOX-5 inhibition. Looking to move to a stronger Boswellia extract (5-Loxin) as it's lighter weight.

These changes, while I still have energy issues, have made it safe enough for me to be able to backpack outdoors for extended periods of time. My longest so far has been a 2 month trip (with 1-2 nights indoors).

Hope this helps anyone who struggles with this and is looking to experiment. I wish I was back to 100%, but being able to be out in nature after being mostly bedbound is...well, my heart is much more full when I am. <3 :')
> Now I have to walk back explanations I gave to various people and explain LK-99 actually isn’t special at all. I will look like a god damn idiot.

There is a lesson there: do not make definitive statements about something that is uncertain. There are a lot of interesting things to say about this material along the lines of “it would be cool if it worked, then we could do x or y” while still making clear that this is tentative.

> The whole time LK-99 was in the news, we were wringing our hands about potential uses and the impact it would have on our world. For once it seemed maybe there was hope that we’d see exciting times again with exponential advances in technology. That dream has now been thoroughly eradicated.

Some people did. The materials scientists I know were mostly skeptical with a hint of cynicism or optimism, depending on the individual.

> By the time a true room temp superconductor comes out, it probably won’t be in our lifetimes.

It is difficult to say. We barely understand what makes a material a superconductor. This understanding will improve, and we will do some more systematic studies. Or it might show up in some completely unrelated project, just by chance. It is very difficult to say when this might happen. All we can say is that so far we don’t think that room-temperature superconductors are a physical impossibility. So at least there is hope.
