Randomized controlled diet experiments over the lifetime of a human are pretty difficult. So they make do with what data they can get.

Putting that data together to form a recommendation is incredibly difficult. If we could just get people not to imagine that it's trivial ("eat no isolucene and live forever"), we'd be several steps ahead of where we are.

The tweet says "I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much."

The guy who shot up Tree of Life synagogue (a couple of blocks away from where my brother and his partner live) was pushing the idea that Jewish people are helping migrant caravans over the US-Mexico border--a trope all over Gab and other antisemitic forums.

Let's just all stop giving these guys the benefit of the doubt here.

I'm of the same mind.

Social reproduction and reification are familiar subjects to me - I enjoy using them as framing devices - but the author seems to want to talk about the effects of social reproduction and reification as constraints on social change and that's not very interesting of a topic unless one goes into the details, which they avoid.

Take, for example, the social reproduction and reified ideas and institutions of feudalism. What compromises that list and in which ways were they made irrelevant in the face of capitalism? Now do the same for capitalism. That's a much more interesting article and the one I wish the author had the desire to write.
So it sounds like you think the ends justify the means, if the lie is benign enough, journalists should be encouraged to do so if for the right reasons?

I wasn't defending the tweet, I was pointing out there's not a connection to the 'replacement theory'. It's bullshit. It's a fake connection.
A single Netflix show does not have the potential to end up with multi-billion dollar per-year recurring revenues. The potential upside on a startup is far far large.

In addition, there are no low-risk startups. There are, however, relatively low risk films and TV shows to be made.
I think the idea was that they could demonstrate and develop vertical landing technology while selling the vehicle (tourism and some freefall science experiments). I think they've done two or three tourist flights using it, and maybe a couple more science flights. They lost the booster a year or so ago and have been making sure they fix the problems since.

In practice, SpaceX's approach of starting with an orbital rocket and adding reuse worked a lot better, given they started later.
Kind of funny -- if I understand this correctly -- that Javascript was descended from Scheme which has delimited continuations and yet Javascript has async/await and function coloring nonsense, while ruby has continuations and fibers and doesn't need to worry about "function coloring" or "callback hell".

(Which I don't understand very well because I was a ruby programmer for 12 years, so missed all the async/await/callback-hell nonsense entirely that everyone is so obsessive about these days)

Quote from the site:

Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap is a progressive series of seven projects including, The Charcoal Foundry, The Metal Lathe, The Metal Shaper, The Milling Machine, The Drill Press, The Dividing Head and The Sheet Metal Brake. Beginning with a simple charcoal fired foundry, you produce the castings for building the machine tools to equip your shop. Initially the castings are finished by simple hand methods, but it isn’t long before the developing machines are doing much of the work to produce their own parts. It does not take long to learn the simple craft of pattern-making and sand molding. Each phase of the projects increase your knowledge and skill. There is no need to look for outside help. You can do it all in your own shop. No complicated math----No exotic equipment required----No large cash outlay. Lots of work to be sure, and some of it can be downright tedious, but the reward will be a practical small scale machine shop that you might never give yourself permission to buy, assuming you could afford it.

”A Miyake event occurring in modern conditions might have significant impacts on global technological infrastructure such as satellites, telecommunications, and power grids.”

No word about small disconnected devices. I’m guessing they’re going to be fine.
Sat with Danny (old friend from Giant Bomb / GameSpot) at a wedding recently and we laughed about the surprise of how easy it was to rent the hockey rink for the shoot (he assumed it would be much harder).

Danny is doing some amazing documentary work about creatives. If you're not old enough to appreciate how special the NHL games were, you might like his documentary on Astroneer, a more recent game, that is just a heartbreaker of a watch.

Every time I watch one of his docs I think of how similar game creation is to working at a startup. They share an intense few years at full speed with a very boom-or-bust mentality.
Also, construction designs, materials, and tools are made by humans.
IMO Dune needs to be a tv show that likely runs several seasons so all the world and backstory can be explored properly so the audience can get a full experience.

Think The Wire in terms of plot discovery and forwarding (leaves out bogus exposition, means you have to pay attention to get things etc that moves along at a good pace and has forward development each episode.

It would be expensive, but it’s the only way I can imagine Dune being done to its fullest extent on screen
Do you mean business processes? Because they are zombies to begin with.
Well, then you’d become a Buddhist and hopefully that’d help. To be less oblique, the act of abstracting your own personal suffering from “the way things are” can be a good step in isolating exactly what has got you down. I personally know that accepting a mantra like “life is suffering” can help to improve my resilience and get out of the delusion that everything is “happening to me” vs. “happening around me” and that it’s my choice of how to reckon with that and live life to the best I can in spite of it.
I don't get it, are you supposed to have absolute pitch?
I haven’t SSH’d into a machine/container to debug or fix a production issue in years. You flat out can’t even SSH into anything on the last few prod setups I’ve worked on: permissions prevent it, and most containers have sshd and friends stripped out.

I would love a super slimmed down stack to run workloads on. Most of the time when I run workloads, I want to run the workload and nothing else. The OS in the container exists to start the binary I care about and then basically very little else-these applications aren’t making use of a scheduler, or the init system (because again, I’m only running my binary), users and permissions go unused a good chunk of the time. With stuff like quic becoming more popular we’ve got user space networking too, so that’s out. So by this stage we’ve got a whole OSCthats doing almost nothing except passing stuff between layers an incurring a performance and risk overhead.

If we could have the same functionality, with better performance and the same or better security, why wouldn’t I do that?

> This concept has been done multiple times and has always failed

Isn’t it likely that this idea was just “before its time”? The compute landscape these days is pretty different to ~20+ years ago: massively available public cloud compute, prolific container usage, etc. Software stacks are deeper, more ossified and less fully understood than ever, I definitely see solutions that reduce that complexity being appealing.
A lot of retirement funds invest in private companies.
My similar take on the idea: https://cloud-ips.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html

I wanted to see if I could do the lookup work client-side, and also include some more metadata about cloud provider's IPs (region, service, etc), not that it's really better, just a toy idea I had.
Sounds like it's only a client. Still very impressive and might be helpful for some people, but not really where the performance bottleneck is most of the time.

The same thing done for a survival server implementation would be a lot more interesting and useful.
Depends on your internet connection. If you have gigabit fibre to the home, downloading a big AAA game isn't a big deal. If you're on a 30 Mbit cable connection, the delay between starting a download and playing a game is pretty long, so it's nice to be able to keep them on your local storage.

However, I've been reading about announcements like this for about five years now with close to zero products actually available to buy.

It doesn't help that Samsung decided that from now on all displays must be curved and ultrawide.
They could have been trying to establish proof, that they looked into odd behavior.

Then, if anything happens, they're less likely to be successfully sued.
Actually correct take: You cannot slow down climate change without mass depopulation, and most climate change alarmism is overhyped. It will impose a cost to civilization and it will have to be dealt with by adapting to it, rather than some inane scheme to create carbon tax credits to justify more ways for the hyper-wealthy to stay wealthy.

I fully agree with this, fwiw. There are a lot of causes and reasons to be anxious that we could try to fix on a broader level, but we do not. Then again, passing off your problems on a “broken world” doesn’t really bring you solace unless you’re interested in theodicy: most people aren’t.
> You can do whatever you want with your car on private road.

Surprisingly, but absolutely, not true. For instance, in most places in the US at least, you can be prosecuted for DWI on a private road on your own property (as it is about operation of a motor vehicle regardless of place).
I don't know how you got "the ends justify the means" from my comment. I basically said they're a broken clock, but on this occasion at least they aren't outright wrong. It doesn't seem like a "fake" connection to me, rather just an overly-prescriptive one implying there is some overarching "theory". "Trope" would be a much better term.
It's possible but for anyone who would actually care to acquire it (i.e. musicians), relative pitch is just as useful for any task that matters and much easier to acquire. Most acquire it by accident. And arguably, perfect pitch isn't desirable anyway, since standard 12-tone equal temperament is not the "perfect" form of music by any measure. The tuning basis of 440hz is completely arbitrary, and there are plenty of examples of the tuning in any genre being changed (usually to a higher pitch) for excitements' sake. Plus, mathematically any form of dynamic just intonation is superior to fixed 12-tone equal temperament. Relative pitch remains useful in these contexts, while absolute pitch does not.
Not if you can't use them. The problem with modern PCs is lack of pcie lanes. Unless you go with Threadripper you pretty much get one GPU, two m.2 drives and one pci slot. After that decisions have to be made on what gets disabled.
No, that gets you a lot of spam emails and the popup doesn't go away
Awesome, bookmarked! Would it be possible to list all announced IP ranges for an AS?
That's where good managers come in.

We're supposed to be doing more than just spout jargon to our superiors.

We need to be completely situationally aware of the project, make sure that key stakeholders are always consulted for big decisions, and kept aware of plans, push back on senior managers, if what they ask is unreasonable, etc.

And we need to do it in a highly unobtrusive way, that doesn't interfere with developer productivity.

I have said it before, that I was lucky to have the situation I did, and the more I hear about how most companies run, the more fortunate I feel.

It seems that managing my way, these days, in Silicon Valley, would just get me fired.
We originally wanted to stick to the daily simplicity of wordle, but a "practice mode" is on our roadmap! (I agree, more practice would help people improve their auditory skills faster.)

I wonder if this would require browsers to allow government certs in place of their own pinned certs (e.g., chrome pins certs for google sites and maybe others I believe, if a non matching cert is used then the connection is rejected).

That trope exists, for sure, and is false, but that tweet isn't repeating it. You're misreading it.
atan2() to the rescue.

Interestingly, as crude as the diagram is, you can feed it to ChatGPT's data analysis plugin and it will not only recognize what's depicted, but offer to calculate the cut angles for the 2x12s given the rise and run. I was pretty impressed that it recognized the problem without any prompting other than the image itself.
ISP controlled modem counts your incoming data in a short rolling window. If it exceeds a value, it throttles below your normal speed and buffers or drops incoming packets to slow things down, until the bandwidth budget is compensated for (and the dropped packets are all counted, so it could be stuck there longer than anticipated), then switches to normal speed until traffic goes below a threshold, then switches back to full speed burst. Worst case the flow control reacts slower than the modem burst switching and you end up in an oscillating pattern.

The trick is just to do your own rate limiting without burst at the right limit, that bypasses whatever shitty burst implementation your ISP modem has and weird shit won't happen anymore.
>> Text and 2D images are a tiny subset of physical reality as perceived by an able-bodied human. Even our best approximation is a poor representation.

This is wrong. There’s nothing magical about human perception. You see the world because a 2D image is projected onto your retina.

GPT-4 was trained on text and generalized the ability to output 2D images. There’s absolutely nothing to suggest text can’t generalize further to new modalities. GPT4 is forced to serialize images as SVGs to output them (a crazy emergent ability btw), but that demonstrates an inherent spatial reasoning capability baked into the model.

GPT4V was created with a transfer learning step where image embeddings are passed as input in place of text. That’s further evidence of models ability to generalize to new modalities.

Everything you need to do multimodal input and output is already trained in, GPT-4V I’m sure is just the start.

I’ve been running a ubiquiti router and AP without any issues for years. I don’t remember having to restart it, there will be times that that I just turn everything off and on again, but it’s not usually at all.

A few months ago I upgraded the router to OpenWrt and the router feels like new again.

I also live in this setup that I can just add switches and access points as I need.

Currently I have a switch and two access points, but nowadays I buy network hardware based on OpenWrt compatibility
Hypixel uses server mods of course. It's not just something you can download somewhere and start your own Hypixel.

I wouldn't call it a mod. Its a custom experience provided by a specific set of servers.
You're right. I didn't see that spec for the 4060.
Programming languages can theoretically abstract things away to the extent a properly formulated phrase will get working code from an LLM. Construction designs and materials are still concretely limited by what physics will allow.
Do you have any citations that support your claim, which seems to be that “resilience,” is unhelpful or harmful?
> How can it be a good idea to have such an important company to national security public?

They've made themselves important by working very hard... It's interesting how the narrative switches immediately from mocking someone for trying something impossible to being worried about them being a danger to national security. It's very bad for the country that some people seem to think there is nothing in between. You're either irrelevant or you're too important.

> Last thing you want is funds having their say on how to run the company. Didn't work well with Boeing either.

We're a couple decades at least away from SpaceX reaching a Boeing-like position.

in retrospect the ark was in trouble, perhaps the AI was applying the emotive context in response to questions that are a misdirection of effort, considering the situation.

If you're on a low end system, I can recommend Minetest. It's a similar but different experience - you still mine blocks and craft items but all of the details are quite different.

I enjoy both games; while I prefer Minecraft due to community and momentum, Minetest is great if you just want a nice and simple sandbox.
Came here to write this. Is a wealth of “common sense” that is anything but common nowadays
Well, programming languages are limited by what logic will allow, and computers (and by extension programming languages and LLMs) are also limited by what physics will allow.
Thanks for checking out the game! "Hard" mode actually used to be only 6 tiles, but some folks complained that it was too easy, so it became 8 tiles

I think we'll definitely have to do more brainstorming to figure out the right features for each difficulty level; I think I saw some ask for an even more difficult mode.
Love it - bookmarked!

You are ignoring the effects of the atmosphere, which are pretty extreme. For looking through your average backyard telescope (no fancy laser-measured corrections for atmospheric turbulence) you are limited to around 400x. You would need several orders of magnitude more magnification for 50cm objects 238k miles away.

It's about as related to "replacement theory" as a Tweet calling out "the evils of the bourgeoisie" would be to Marxism.

I am not sure if you genuinely believe otherwise or think the rest of us are stupid enough that we might entertain doubts about this just because you keep saying it's not the case.

Like, I get that "replacement theory" and the related conspiracy theories that led to the Tree of Life Synagogue attack allege an active and ill-intentioned participation on the part of Jews in bringing in minorities, whereas the Tweet in question refers only to its authors perception that most Jews are liberal and woke, and is pointing out that many minorities in that camp are doing or saying things that many Jews interpret as bigoted towards them.

But given its blanket assumption about the views of most Jews and is allegation that "Jewish communties have been pushing...dialectical hatred against whites" and its use of the language "hordes of minorities that support flooding their country", I don't see why we should split hairs and refuse to draw some very plausible inferences about this Tweet --namely, that "replacement theory" a) was on the author's mind as he wrote it; b) that he endorses that conspiracy theory; c) that he wrote it knowing that anyone who is familiar with that conspiracy theory would recognize it here. His Tweet is just "replacement theory" with a false mustache and glasses.
A conspiracy is an understanding between people to facilitate action toward a purpose. A theory about a conspiracy is when outsiders to the conspiracy try to reason about motives without being privy to the actual motives (if any) of the conspiracy. By their nature, conspiracy theories can be far more wide ranging than the actual motives of any conspiracy will be. This is one of the things that makes conspiracy theories problematic.
