On the enterprise side they are already talking to a significant chunk of the total market for office productivity users.

Instead they went and started a movie studio, were in talks to acquire physical movie theaters and acquired a retail medical group (OneMedical).

Its a shame they didn't take it as seriously (i.e. smart acquisitions) when the number of players that could scale up such offerings is much smaller than the number of players that can make movies.

> without anyone offering a clear, compelling alternative approach

A minor gripe: asking protesters of a utterly shitty, but long standing, complex and entranched situation, to come up clear, simple and compelling alternatives is generally unfair.

In particular the political process should work in reverse: people voice issues, and their governing bodies come up with viable solutions. That's their job.

It can be utterly shitty too. The difference could be that they're not armed with military grade material and protestors aren't willing to let things slide, even as pretty gruesome confrontations happen (people killed, losing eyes, limbs etc.)
> Unfortunately, Moderna won't make mRNA-4157 available under compassionate use

Sorry to hear. Try contacting Immunocore in Oxford, they have a TCR therapy that targets many tumors, including squamous ones, and they are recruiting or should make it available under compassionate use. Other companies worth looking into are Adaptimmune Therapeutics, also in Oxford, and Evaxion in Copenhagen. They are all going the semi-personalized route. So will look into your tumor type, MHC class I, etc.

Is Bandcamp as We Know It Over?
I disagree that that is the primary reason for the minivan’s demise. They were plain and simply viewed as supremely uncool, even during the height of their popularity. Most people bought them because they had to, not because they were beloved.

Now, the typical modern CUV isn’t exactly considered cool either, but they are the byproduct evolved from SUVs that were often seen as being cooler than minivans. Ironically real SUVs have become a small niche product too nowadays.

That's absolutely true, so I guess a better question is "Why do so many people online get excited about free filing systems, without also getting excited about reducing the complexity of the tax code as a complement to those systems".
Similar tones to oil companies ‘advancing energy progress’. They refuse to feel any pain in the transition and will only hold society hostage to maintain shareholder profits. It’s a twisted story that they rely on the free market to fix the issues while demanding tax credits and government research freebies while still manipulating legislation to their favor in every step.

> increased equality of opportunity directly leads to decreased equality of outcomes

You're going to have to back this up.

Places and periods without high equality of opportunity for example appear to me to have terrible equality of outcome.

And with what I think you're referring too, which is the increase in the wealth gap between the top 10% and bottom 50%, I'd argue that's actually seen because of a decrease in equality of opportunity, because our system never resets the brackets, the only opportunities left are those not taken. It's harder than ever before to compete in existing opportunity market, since we're in an unprecedented level of market consolidation.

Surprised they're not launching it everywhere at the same time like they usually do with "new features". I guess they've learned that such a big change might require some testing and adjusting first. Which is good.

That being said, it's going to be interesting to see how users react to this. There is no point in taking bots out if at the same time you take out all of your userbase. I think there's something here that Musk just doesn't seem to understand, in that it's not that 1 dollar a year would make any significant impact on my finances but I literally just can't be bothered to pay for it. Taking my card out, setting up my payment, all of that... that's significant friction.

And when you have that kind of friction, I think it makes people sort of pause and go "do I really want this? Is this even worth it?". I mean, threads is free.

I think one of the main problems with mastodon has to do precisely with the increased friction at sign up; so now for X (formerly known as Twitter) to make it harder for people to sign up... I don't know.

Seveneves is a serious novel with many serious/tragic moments, but one funny moment that still sticks with me is in Part III. To avoid spoilers, I will describe it as when faction A is observing faction B making an approach to faction C, which faction A also hopes to contact. What faction B has improvised using available equipment as part of their approach is hilarious (and, really, totally makes sense).

Which part is wild? "Magic" memory addresses are a fairly normal way to communicate with hardware; nowadays there are more layers to how you set up mappings in the MMU etc., but in the old days it was normal for everything to just have a fixed address (e.g. I remember back on the Apple ][ the screen's framebuffer was in a particular memory range, or rather two - to avoid tearing you'd draw on one and then flip which one it was using). And particularly for the CPU, it's hard to see how else it could do customizable interrupt handling - I guess you could have some kind of special API with dedicated CPU instructions or something for "programming" in an interrupt table, but that would be more complex and have no particular benefit. "It reads your table of pointers from this address in memory, in this format" is pretty straightforward and easy to use.

As for why it's address 0, well, it has to go somewhere, every machine has a CPU so everyone needs an interrupt table even if they don't have much memory. And when memory was precious there was no sense wasting even one byte of it; 0 was a real address on your physical memory chip, so why not use it just like any other?

(The fact that it's "address 0" for "division by 0" is just coincidence as far as I can see; division by 0 just happens to be the first kind of possible CPU interrupt. Perhaps it was the most common one?)

I was! I've now been infused twice with 1100mg of petosemtamab / MCLA-158 (https://beta.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03526835), on Sept. 27 and then Oct. 12. The next is Oct. 25. For the first week I had no apparent reactions, and then a rash erupted on my face, chest, and back. That's pretty normal for EGFR drugs, and the rash was (and is) itchy and annoying but not unbearable. To treat it, I inject an antibiotic called doxycycline (which is used against acne bacteria) into my peg tube and use a a topical steroid. At the bottom of this post: https://jakeseliger.com/2023/10/16/how-do-you-say-goodbye/ there's a photo showing some of what's happening to my face.

So, overall it's going pretty well, and I feel physically better than I did on chemo and Keytruda—a low bar, but I'll take whatever improvements I can get. The next CT scans are scheduled for Nov. 21, but unless I'm responding to petosemtamab in a pretty major way, they'll probably be ambiguous. The median time to respond is 1.8 months, so it'd be surprising to see big changes between the Sept. 5 CT baseline CT scans and the Nov. 21 scans. Two tumors are physically protruding from my neck, which is disconcerting, but they aren't painful.

The FDA apparently wants to see how the 1100mg and 1500mg petosemtamab doses differ, and I got randomized to the lower dose. That isn't necessarily bad: more of a drug can be deleterious relative to right dose.

I wasn't NDA'ed, so I'm assuming I can talk about what's going on. I'm a bit surprised by the lack of an NDA; I've signed NDAs for three-person startups who want grant writing services for a Dept. of Energy Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) proposal, but nothing WRT this.

> What work is that? Unnaturally bringing bats and pangolins together in a meat market? The only "real world" excuse ever offered.

GoF research in virology is specifically to replicate what happens in nature in hopes of forecasting outcomes and giving us more time to respond to them. If it isn't doing what happens in nature, it is, by definition, a failure.

> I've read their reports and their annual revisions. I'm not convinced they're needed, and since the "science" here is purely a wild guess using models projected backwards in time to fit existing data, the results aren't particularly meaningful either.

Those "guesses" have proven to amazingly insightful. You may not find them useful, but even energy companies have found these forecasts useful for their business.

> Do any of these require you to invent novel phenomenon to "study?" If not, then your comparison is purely the making of a strawman.

Yes, they do. More precisely, I would say they involve artificially controlled experiments that are used to forecast outcomes in nature.

...and I wasn't making a comparison or a strawman. I was taking your statement as an assertion, and identifying that in fact many scientific fields employ methods that you describe as "anti-science".

> Interestingly.. was any "forecast" of the virus they created in a lab provided to anyone?

No. One might almost think that perhaps "the virus" wasn't created in a lab. It's unlikely, given the large number of virologists who've said it wasn't created in a lab, but maybe?

> Even if we did have it, would it have made a difference in timelines?

Yes. Hugely, particularly for testing. Most of the vaccine development cycle is tied up in testing for safety and such, so the impact there is smaller, but it's not zero.

> You clearly see the exact problem.

I do. I don't think it's the same problem that you are seeing.
I think this looks great and has good potential, and can see some productivity influencers using your app.

The always visible tasks + calendar and the auto scheduling worth the price.

In the past I tried to create a similar setup on my emacs without much success, where tasks could be easily timeblocked in a view like this.

For auto scheduling, I crafted a ChatGPT prompt reliable enough to adjust my calendar a couple times per day.

Just another way of saying that I tried to implement myself what you elegantly did in your app.
well i dled it... and i think the task management is very nicely laid out. Much more useful, clean, intuitive than a lot of task apps out there.

Good work, keep it up
Neither. Though honestly, charging nominal fees as an alternative to the current adtech status quo may be for the best.
Oh, one more refinement:

Surgeons are constantly killing people[1], and every time, it turns out it was because the surgeon disabled a known, recommended safety rail, and whenever anyone points out that they should stop disabling the safety rails, they insist that they know how to operate without them, it's those other people that don't. Plus it's sooooo inconvenient for an operation[2] to take five more minutes, they're too good to have to deal with that.

"A 2023 Nature survey of 1,600 researchers found that more than 25% use AI to help them write manuscripts and that more than 15% use the technology to help them write grant proposals."

I don't think so. According to:

If you're interested in some BPM fuckery, there's a small-ish contingent of artists/labels doing some cool things around the 80/160-ish BPM range. Folk like Donato Dozzy, Patrick Russell and Forest Drive West have been putting together some great sets that sound like this militant-ish blend of Techno and Drum and Bass and just get really 'out there' in, in my opinion, the best way possible.

There's one moment in a Forest Drive West set (I wish I could remember which one) where he plays the first 45-ish minutes at 160-ish, and then drops down to 125-130 for the last 1hr+ - but he does it in a manner that you never hear DJs do and almost doesn't work. He leaves the ~160BPM track playing, and brings in the 125-ish track over it in a way that creates this really cool syncopated rhythm. It's risky, and there's a reason you usually don't see people do it, but he pulls it off. I have a particular fondness for Jazz music, particularly Jazz musicians who fuck with time in a similar manner, so to hear a DJ pulling off something like that is awesome to me.

But yeah, highly recommend checking out Dozzy's surprise closing set at Terraforma[1] and Patrick Russell's Mostra[2] set.

Edit: The FDW set I'm thinking of is his set from Boom Festival[3].

The remote capabilities of jetbrains software is just not comparable at all. I tried again very recently and it was just super backwards.

But in the end it’s the buyer and only the buyer that sets the sale price. The listing agent can downplay all they want or “offer” whatever made up price they want but it’s all meaningless. The buyer committing to a given number, comes out of their head only, and is the only thing that sets the values in real estate. And agents can think they influence that number but it’s minimal at best.

There are various reasons someone can be chosen to be laid off and salary can be a factor. But it's silly to deny that performance isn't an extremely common factor. Even if you don't intrinsically take pride in your performance, it's still strategically valuable over the long run to perform well. Some layoffs will hit you no matter what, and other times you'll control your destiny.

If you need to have income, face the reality that you're hurting yourself by not taking the endeavor seriously.

It's profoundly misguided and corrosive to go through life pretending you have no agency just because it seems like it doesn't always pay off in the short term.
