My guess is because the company making that browser would then have to maintain (and patch) those parts of the code once Google stops supporting it?
It's pretty funny that we have a post on how business rule engines are bad because users are not engineers, but also a post on how decision tables are great because users validate the program logic with their domain expertise.

I think there's great value in empowering your coworkers. Most of us don't know how to, so we end up inventing some gnarly DSL, or a glitchy UI admin panel, or we ask medical professionals to learn to write SQL and then feel very engineery when it doesn't work out. But having seen what non-technical people can achieve with just a spreadsheet and sheer determination, I think we're just not very good at understanding what business rule engines and the tooling around them should be able to do. It doesn't help that the majority of them came around the time of XML and SOAP and Java. So instead of rules we make the users write Jira tickets, and instead of local sandbox experimentation we give them hours of QA.
Or even the most mundane: corporate mandates that your project name change because of RULE with new access requirements.

You get a new repo in GitHub, and all GitHub activity is lost for REASON.

Tools never persist. I’d even say that ticket numbers in commit messages is harmful since it makes it much easier for the committer to be sloppy and write “Fix bug for JIRA123”. You can say “that’s a people problem”, but with a growing team I can either fix that people problem over and over, or I can ask for no external ticket ids in commit messages
Yeah I really can't think of anything worse than reading only summaries of books in an attempt to retreive efficient information. The point of the book is the journey and how it makes you feel. Even a non-fiction book.
Yep, good running form is incredibly important. Our legs are rather wonderful springs, directing impact force into the giant muscle that is the glutes (i.e. the butt). The knees (or any other joints) should merely direct the force upwards. Heel striking, over striding, running too fast, too much padding etc. all lead to impact forces going into joints and those really don't like that.

I've been running every single day no exceptions for almost 8 years, including marathons and a half marathon at least once a year. Most of my runs are slow, all of them are run with small steps and fore/mid foot strike.

Stomping around the track huffing and puffing is not the way to do it, but when done right it is absolutely wonderful for the body.

To be fair, Bryan started Blueprint just a couple years ago as an overworked, overweight 40-something. Damage done.

What remains to be seen, is how his brain markers develop 5-10 years down the road. I'm not sure he can reverse aging in many areas. But slow it down noticeably? Sure.
Yes, exponential (has been doubling every ~40 years for a long time, and a scenario of halving at the same rate) is what I was talking about above.

It's a "broken glass cornucopia": the Internet is a horn of plenty disgorging an unlimited amount of free, good content .. with harmful fragments mixed in.

Sometimes the effort of filtering out the harmful bits is too much. Sometimes one too many bits breaks through. Sometimes you become aware of it gradually, like a cigarette smoker. Sometimes the very plenty itself feels like the problem.

I think one of the things I'm going to spend 2024 looking at is trying to separate out "want to do", "enjoy doing", "feel compelled to do", and "feel good about having done".
So he's a successful businessman.

How does that background translate to any kind of scientific competence? Because his website is heavy on the buzzwords and the Silicon Valley "glorious future"-talk and remarkably light on anything resembling responsible science.

He clearly doesn't want to advance knowledge about longevity, he wants to be the world's top longevity marketer and salesman. It's just a business long shot to him. And yes, that is perfectly congruent with his background.
Part of the issue would be that the nooks are translations and the copywriter data would be from the translation date.

So modern versions of e.g. the Bible could not be in Standard Ebooks. So easiest to not carry any translations.

Bookshops have no problem with this as part of the purchase price will go to the copyright owners of the translation.

I see it as a giant argument chamber. You can't say the "sky is blue" without someone asking you for sources or ackchually-ing you because an eclipse darkens the sky, etc. People deliberately take the most disingenuous reading of commentary and respond to it to make the poster look as stupid or insecure as possible. I can't see how that is an echo chamber. (and I see the irony in opposing your statement here, while making the claim that most comments are disagreements). I will concede, however, that certain topics (teslas, apple, among others) there is a hive mind that will downvote viciously if you hit a nerve.
I cant tell if you're being sarcastic but the protocol was developed as the result of his teams reading the latest published literature. I'm not being snarky here but if you have a problem with it, it's the result (by definition) of you not being up to date on what the corpus of science is telling us about nutrition.
While that's true, it feels a bit pedantic to correct parent like that.
You're right in principle, but are they usually 20%?
Science advances one funeral at a time, as Max Planck said.
I would be interested on hearing your reasons for this.
What I meant is that China will be able to - at least - replicate all of these things within a few generations, even without us handing over the tech to them. As an aside, I don't see why India wouldn't be capable of the same, as their society also imparts much higher status to STEM education than us, although they probably won't have the same magnitude and type of motivation as China.

> China is experiencing demographic collapse. If they can’t gain the upper hand within about a decade, the opportunity will have likely passed as the surplus capital it has enjoyed to date as a result of its demographic dividend will reverse.

Even if their population collapses, their (STEM-proficient) population will still significantly outnumber America's - especially if America continues to implicitly funnel its brightest into non-STEM fields through societal pressure.
Almost any blocking extension can be achieved with uBlock, that doesn't make them any less useful:

- a dedicated extension offers a better experience when blocking (uBlacklist for it's case certainly does)
- having everything in uBlock will disable all blocking, even if you just need some disabled (in this case, you might just want to see all results, but keep blocking tracking + ads)

It might still be a good trade-off to just use uBlock for the vuln. surface, but there are good reasons to install another extension.
It's for some ML tasks. Just not large language models.

If you're making, say, an ML-based on-premise CCTV system and you need to run several large ResNets at the same time? And you don't want to go rack-mounted, as some sites don't have a data centre? And you want the longer lifecycle and guaranteed spare parts availability of an enterprise product line? This could be the card for you.

Admittedly it's a rip-off, but the Workstation/Quadro line always has been.

Honestly I'm not sure how healthy the workstation market is right now - with the rise of work-from-home and hybrid working, I don't see many people using huge desktops any more. And when Adobe puts a powerful generative AI feature into Photoshop, they don't expect users to upgrade to powerful GPUs - they run it in the cloud, so it works for users with puny GPUs and Adobe can get that sweet sweet recurring revenue.
He stays out of the sun? Interesting to learn what the long term consequences of that will be.
> only relevant for workloads that can't be parallelized

This ends up dominating anyway. Partly because the easy stuff does get parallelized. So you're left with things like "browser layout engine" being single threaded. Almost all systems have single-threaded UIs, because trying to do anything else becomes unreasonably hard to reason about. The UI thread will delegate work to other threads, but there is nearly always a single "UI thread" bottleneck.
There's ways to check stress levels and optimise for them, which is what he's done.
I think the point still stands. In the Paleolithic era, life expectancy for the 60% reaching age 15 averaged 39 remaining years [1], so you could have expected to live into your mid 50s, compared to mid 80s today in developed countries [2]. That's a 30 year difference, so it's more than "a bit smaller".

That's actually pretty common criminal activity in banking, where an employee will take money from accounts of clients and "gamble" it on high-return short term investments.

Obviously I won't be naming Banks here but what usually happens is:

1) If they succeed in their investment they put the money back and walk out rich.
Their venture can be detected during an audit some time later but if there's no money missing the worst that will happen is that they will be fired because banks are very sensitive on their reputation and they don't want people to hear that its possible for a such thing to happen. They also don't want the insurance and other regulatory bodies to hear about this.

2) If they are caught before returning the money(this could be audit, customer complaint or a whistleblower) they will be given the option to return the money and get fired. If they can't return the money, then a formal investigation and criminal case is initiated.

3) If they lose their investment, they will flee and trigger an audit. They won't be able to resign and leave gracefully because the process of using this money involves periodically putting it back at strategic times to avoid trigger an audit due to discrepancies, therefore it's very risky to keep coming back to work if you don't have the ability to put the money back at short notice.

This is one of the reason for people in banking having mandatory 2 weeks time off at a time in many jurisdictions. Stealing needs maintenance and maintenance needs access.

I also wouldn't call it "repay his debt to society" because due to money that he stole, he made the public transport more expensive and housing less affordable.
There's a lot of power in IP addresses because they don’t change that often, especially for larger companies. Watch the video to learn how you can leverage IP strengths for targeting.
It's not that it costs too much money, in many cases. The money's there. The problem is that the solution is not profitable compared to other actions, which is a different thing entirely.

For example, it is much more profitable to sell recurring treatments than it is to sell cures. You can only sell a cure once per instance of disease, after all, whereas selling a recurring treatment means you have an indefinite stream of revenue. (Similar logic applies to selling software as a subscription instead of as a one-off license.)

When something is "not profitable", that does not mean it costs too much. It means that the thing is not as profitable as other options, which is sometimes a result of excessively costly processes, but is at other times a result of having "do nothing" as an option (which by definition costs nothing, and depending on the field can make quite a lot of money).

Another example of something being "not profitable", but not because it costs more, is public goods. Public transportation, for instance. It is undeniable that good public transportation is a boon to society, but public transport is often framed as a business rather than a public good, and in the context of a business, public transport is simply not as profitable as something like a toll road. Running a toll road is close to "do nothing" compared to running a bus line or train line, since everyone brings their own car instead of using the publicly-provided transportation. The catch is, this is actually MORE costly overall--because many more vehicles have to be fueled and maintained, and cars are relatively inefficient compared to trains. But, because the cost is distributed to the users of the road, the toll road is "cheaper" for the people operating it, and thus more profitable--so if you run government like a business, the toll road is the thing you go with.

The US two party system isn't that obviously broken. Americans like to say it's broken, but they often aren't that familiar with the alternatives.

You could have FPTP but with more than two parties, like the UK does. The downside of this is that the reason there are more than two major parties in the UK is that the parties are much more closed off to outside influence, and due to the presence of a major independence movement (something banned by the Constitution). In the USA it's considered entirely normal and possible for complete outsiders to run in party primaries, take over that party and then become President. This cannot happen in the UK because none of the parties have open primaries. Small movements towards more internal party democracy by Labour have been rolled back in recent years, because they allowed in non-centrist types like Corbyn who were popular with the base but not with the electorate. Still, it could be implemented in the USA. "All" you need to do is end the system of party primaries and voting for President, to allow party insiders to select their own leadership. And if you want a big independence party then change the Constitution to allow cessation.

You could have PR, like most of Europe does. Then you'd have lots of parties. The downside of this is that it guarantees that politicians can never actually do any of the things they campaigned on doing, with the result that politicians tend not to take policy development seriously. Parties end up standing for extremely vague positions even during election campaign periods, knowing that there's no point in having specific ideas as they'll all be mashed up in coalition negotiations anyway. Because the system is in some sense inherently unstable you have a lot of government collapses, and the promised benefits of representing everyone's views better doesn't happen in reality. Instead what happens is that every party just ends up being at a different point on the 1D ideological spectrum, and all the left and "center" parties form coalitions against the right wing party to deny them any representation at all, even if it means the government becomes deadlocked and can't do anything.

Overall the US system isn't perfect, but it's also not the great weakness Americans like to claim it is. The two parties are sufficiently loose and broad tents that they shift with the political winds easily, and it means Americans are able to go in an "fix" the parties if they drift too far from what is actually wanted. A big part of the meltdown over Trump is that the party insiders were reminded of this against their will. A big part of the meltdown over Sanders vs Clinton was that Americans actually like this aspect of the system and the left felt it was being denied to them.
Elsewhere in the comments they make a good case for this card being positioned for Enterprise computing and not for gaming or ML.
Really fascinated by your comments.

So, running litestream on the node and pushing to S3 isn't a good story, eh? I would have assumed that everything in a single AWS tenant could be a viable path.
> Come to think of it, perfectionism never really leads to anything of quality.

TeX stood the test of time and it was released as close to perfection as it gets in non-life-critical software. (One could argue it wasn’t perfectionism at work, but sound top-down design.)
I'd agree with you if it weren't for all the cultish red flags present here.

This is clearly a man who wants a cult-like mentality to form around him.

If he were just going ridiculously in-depth with his self-research and being open and honest about this, I'd actually admire him a lot, but it's all the grandiose talk about "Zeroth principles thinking" and "Aligning with what the 25th century would want" together with implying his detractors must be weak, scared and lacking in self-control that turns me off heavily.
We teach kids a lot of things they're not really going to use.

And it fact it seems we try to teach kids music notation - at least I had group recorder lessons in elementary school, and I thought this was pretty common?

But we fail. On each step in my school career from elementary to high school, they assumed we hadn't learned anything in the previous level. Which was, for most people, true.

A few, including me, learned to read traditional music notation well enough to play recorder pieces we weren't supposed to. But it didn't help me - or anyone I know - to be able to sight sing, for instance. It wasn't possible to build on for anything, except maybe becoming a better recorder player.
Could be a pilot mistake as well. Aircraft entering runway without clearence has happened before.

I don't know what subset of society you live in, but the university you attended is not commonly brought up in America. If you're referring to your intellectual aptitude rather than the credentials attached to your name, just try to be a good person and do the best you can with what you've got.
Why would he have to experiment with it? He didn’t have to experiment with exercise before starting an exercise plan.
> Most (nearly all?) religious texts of major world religions were originally written in languages other than English, and so if SE were to try to host those texts the site would have to make an editorial call about which translations of those texts are the "best."

The site already hosts a number of works that were originally written in languages other than English, and yet it had no problems making an editorial call about which translations of those texts are the "best." The obvious solution would be to just allowing multiple translations of foreign-language books.
> Quite curious why it hasn’t been sued yet by the DOJ.

A single corporation owns the proprietary OS running what must be upwards of 80% of the world's corporate and government workstations that is known to be laden with copious amounts of telemetry and privacy invading logging is probably quite an attractive partner to the various TLOs of the US government.

I read some fan-fic conspiracy theory that MS is actually a facade for an intelligence agency a couple of decades ago. Getting less and less certain about the weight of "theory" these days.

About full electric vehicles, according to the article they are planned for 2050 and

> “If your batteries are so heavy that you have a five-ton truck that has four-and-a-half tons of batteries on it, it doesn't leave a lot of room for cargo … and how am I going to recharge an electric vehicle in the places that we're going to be?”
You seem to push towards classic database replication and backups, which is cumbersome at the very least, pain in the ass to manage, easily misunderstood by non-DBA people and often the most expensive part of a solution.

Your "replication over the network" remark makes little sense to me - adding this kind of replication doesn't make this system any slower or more fragile. The restore action may be fragile, but the system itself works the same as without it.

> So now you've got to manage two apps, not one? I thought this was simpler?

It does make it simpler - there are zero changes to codebase. The "other app" is an addon/a sidecar, which is an extremely common practice. Compare that to creating your own replicated database in a classical sense. Also not all people deploy their own creations. There are plenty of self-hosters who don't code the system they deploy, or don't have that ability/will to be it's developers as well.

> wouldn't you want to use Serverless? Since that's literally zero servers?

How is serverless zero servers? Serverless is (usually proprietary) solution to shared servers, not zero servers. It's also only simple if you don't care where and how your code runs and is secured. If you do care, serverless isn't simple any more.

You seem to also ignore that selfhosting exists and is big. That low cost hosting exists and is surprisingly popular. That many systems don't need multiple instances spread across multiple datacenters, when their RTO and RPO are really low and actual successful disaster recovery scenario is just a bash script that will run for a minute or two.

While you are right to point that this solution is not exactly backups (IMO it sits between HA and DR solutions while combining flaws and advantages of both), your other criticism feels very personal.
> Most (nearly all?) religious texts of major world religions were originally written in languages other than English, and so if SE were to try to host those texts the site would have to make an editorial call about which translations of those texts are the "best."

Is there a technical reason to disallow multiple translations of the same text? I can see on the "wanted ebooks" page a number of translated titles[0]; so the project does seem to make editorial decisions about which translations to work on. Obviously, where one translation exists, there may be others that have other advantages.

Pocketbase has automatic backups. Combine that with litestream and it feels like a rock solid database without the complexity of others.

Livestock is given B12 supplements. B12 only occurs naturally in soil, where the concentrations are too low for even animals to bind. Prehistoric humans probably ate more dirt and had enough of it.

I think this is self evident. How the hell US is heading to next Biden vs Trump. Again?
How can anyone claim its that those are the best possible choices - or good choices? Trump is a fraud clearly claiming he is one and biden is barely capable to string two sentences together.
