Sarno doesn’t claim that soft tissue injuries are never real. Stuff like golfers/tennis elbow usually manifests with a clear overuse cause from strain in exercise. But this sort of thing where people experience debilitating pain from… typing, or their back seizes up when they pick up a bag of groceries. A lot of those cases can have a big psychosomatic component. There were two things in particular that I found interesting and that made my back pain shift around and leave when I read his book (paraphrases):

Chronic pain is culturally dependent, some countries have a lot of RSI, some don’t. Chronic neck pain from whiplash is a bigger deal in some places or in some decades than others.

If you give an X-ray to some one with chronic back pain a certain percentage of them will show bulging disks. If you give X-rays to a random group of people of the same demographics a similar percentage of them will show bulging disks, with no correlation to back pain.

The Tyler method you used for golfers elbow is a different example of a a rethink in treating other types of pain. It does have a plausible mechanism that runs counter to the traditional treatment, and it probably works as explained, encouraging healing and tissue remodelling through increased exercise-induced inflammation from eccentric reps. But… it’s also plausible that the quality of the paper describing it and the thrill of counter-knowledge helps make it work even better.
Less Is More – Looking at Jack Vance (2018)
Azure and Google Cloud don't, and they didn't have full ipv6 support when making the change either
So, in the firearms community there's this old argument about bolt action rifles vs modern rifles in which some naive people believe that in combat bolt action rifles could compete with modern gear. Usually phrased as "one shot is all you need" so a bolt action is "just as good". This is that argument, taken to it's absolute most naive, braindead, delusional conclusion. If a force of the best archers went up against a disorderly militia of West Virginian hillbillies with their average armament, the result would be an utter massacre. The ability to penetrate cover, fire repeatedly, fire accurately, suppress the enemy, and do so while pressed against the ground or against cover would win the day every time.
Yes, why is "low tech" magazine musing about advanced technology like composite bows when simple fists will do? Bizarre.
None of that is really cyberpunk, though. The second is the result of people believing they live in a post-apocalyptic dystopia when they don't, but in an actual cyberpunk story the conspiracy theories would have been correct. The health crisis would have been manufactured by black ops pharmaceutical companies working with the CIA, and COVID vaccines would have contained nanotech that let corporations insert AI code into people's minds through the screens that people were now forced to spend an inordinate amount of time in front of.

The protagonists would be a ragtag group of antivaxxers and anarcho-primitivists simply trying to survive outside without getting eaten by cyberzombies or sniped by Boston Dynamics killbots while the New World Order tries to force the populace into some kind of capitalist Instrumentality.

We're not there yet, but give it ten, maybe fifteen years. At least one (maybe two or three, to account for cultural osmosis from parenting) generation entirely raised in a world in which consensus reality and culture are entirely created and managed by AI, genetic engineering and cybernetics (particularly AR and brain-machine interfaces) become common, and the breakdown of large-scale and complex societal structures due to climate change really begins, leading to corporate micronations, crypto economies and autonomous government. When relationships between people and technology become primarily parasocial and psychosexual.

The BSA authorizes the Department of the Treasury to impose reporting and other requirements on financial institutions and other businesses to help detect and prevent money laundering. Specifically, the regulations implementing the BSA require financial institutions to, among other things, keep records of cash purchases of negotiable instruments, file reports of cash transactions exceeding $10,000 (daily aggregate amount), and to report suspicious activity that might signify money laundering, tax evasion, or other criminal activities.

The article is ridiculous on many levels and many assertions, but a big one is downplaying the lethality of a modern bow. Even a low draw weight bow will send a modern broadhead arrow completely through a person, leaving a 2 inch long slice along the way. It’s common for deer bow hunters to instantly drop the animal or have it only make it a very small distance as they spray a literal fountain of blood from all the severed arteries. The comparison to bullets doesnt make sense as they wound in very different ways. Arrows are like knives, requiring little force to kill, it just needs to cut some vitals.
Thank you. Beautiful quote.

Always worthy to consider how close or far we are away from reaching a No turning back apex of these pathologically dysfunctional societies.

I don't know how macOS manages memory or reports its use, but how does the data having been swapped out change anything? If N pages of data of those processes have been swapped out, that means those processes have allocated and used that many pages of memory (plus any that are actually in RAM). The OS heuristics just decided it wasn't worthwhile to keep those particular pages in RAM under current circumstances.

If the processes just allocated a lot of memory and never touched it, it might be reasonable to say they don't actually use it because the OS might never actually reserve any physical resources for it. (Happens a lot e.g. in Linux with memory overcommit allowed by default and some processes allocating dozens of gigabytes of virtual memory, most of which they never actually use.)

But would those pages then count towards swap use either? Only dirty pages end up in swap. Unless macOS counts allocated but untouched pages towards used swap as committed resources.

The author feigns indignance at Apple's margins, as if the only possible purpose for that markup is to line the pockets of Apple execs. But this isn't pure profit for Apple. Apple develops feature and security updates which they make available for free (at the point of use) for years to their hardware customers. The significant hardware markup is what enables this!

Contrast this to companies that sell hardware at cost. You find phones and laptops crammed with programs to collect and monetize your data, and zero security or driver updates.

A company that charges full price up front is at least in a position to afford to be able to do the right thing by users.

Technically, comparable Windows laptops do exist, but hardware vendors don’t want to sell them.

For some reason, hardware vendors really want to sell Intel CPUs, and discrete GPUs. Both choices are suboptimal for most people, because modern AMD chips are more power efficient than Intel, and their integrated GPUs are pretty good by now.

If I wanted a new laptop today, I would look for a model with Ryzen 7 7840U. The chip has 8 Zen4 CPU cores, 12 RDNA3 GPU cores, and 15-30W TDP. Quietness, coolness, performance, and battery life should be very comparable to Apple’s M1 laptops.

Sadly, most laptops which have Ryzen 7 7840U include soldered LPDDR5[x] memory, but there’re couple models with DDR5 SO-DIMM slots: Framework 13, and HP EliteBook 845 G10.

BTW, I have an older laptop with Ryzen 5 5600U. It’s a generation older, but CPU performance and power efficiency are already good there. GPU performance is not great as GCN5 cores are way slower than RDNA3.

It's part of the nature of a bomb for it to blow up, but you should note a bomb spends 99.999999% of it's life not blowing up, and many bombs never blow up before they are disassembled.

There is no obvious falisty here. Any intelligent entity has the ability to kill, it's part of the nature of intelligence. The question you're asking, which is different is "What drives more killing at particular times, and can it be avoided".

And here is the answer you don't want to hear.

No.

When I was in middle school and daydreamed about sci fi futures and robot wars, I wondered about a giant steel bow as a robotic sniper's weapon.

A 4' tungsten needle at high subsonic speed would be a scary thing. Maximum range of 5+ km, almost silent, and able to punch through meters of concrete. It's not quite an anti-tank weapon, but if it hit a car or a person it would just leave a hole and a thump. It'd go right through an engine block and bury itself into the ground so deeply that the hole would fill itself back.

I've also seen what a modern broadhead can do to a moose. Warning: this video is horrible.

That arrow goes right through the ribcage and shreds a lung. The animal coughs up a pint of blood immediately. In less than a minute it passes out from blood loss.

All to say... maybe we wouldn't kill people on the scale of a nuclear bomb. But if humans really tried to go to war with arrows, it would be awful. Guns are better at killing than they ever have been, but bows have also gotten better.
That's odd. I see political content all over the web, all the time. And there are hosting providers whose entire business model is hosting "controversial" content.

It's maybe not quite as formalized inheritance, but (at least in Erlang) you can make behavior B that is a behavior A, and in module C (which implements behavior B), do B:start(C, ...) B;start/? Most likely does A:start(B, ...) and when the callbacks come in, B may call functions from C or not depending on things (such as if there is an optional callback defined).

If your boilerplate turns out to not really be that samey though, it's easier IMHO to have a template and customize it where applied.

That’s unfortunate then, since that point is verifiably false. Historically speaking people do considerably less killing today than they did in the past, despite having inferior weapons[1]. There is in fact a solid argument that readily available superior weaponry has a net zero effect on violence. For example controlling for demographics the USA’s murder rate is roughly on par with the Western European countries. And indeed, rural home invasions are virtually unheard of in the USA while they do occur in Europe.

Most of your comments in this thread read like you are completely unaware of the tech and manufacturing leaps we've already passed and are currently trying to pass. You are allowed to complain if you want to, but your complaints are unsubstantiated. Signalling we haven't made significant and or substantial advances since 2002 is a joke - especially if your barometer is buying RAM.

There's always research ongoing to improve tech and a lot of it is on the market already, but just because researchers figured something out doesn't mean it's feasible on a large manufacturing scale or that thermodynamics will even allow it to work well. Comparing devices in 2002 to 2023 and not noticing the drastic improvements just shows a lack of understanding and or signs of living in complete denial to just complain.
