Whilst faster decoding is always useful, most audio decoding can easily happen within the typical output buffer size (e.g. 512 samples at 44.1KHz ~ 12ms). As long as your machine can decode within that timeframe, there is no difference in latency.
> Governments have never solved many problems at all—-homelessness comes to mind

North Korean dissidents in South Korea disagree strongly with your claim: several of them publicly expressed their shame to see such a rich country failing to fulfill this very basic human need when their super poor communist country of origin had no such problem. Homelessness is a society-wide self-inflected wound: it could be stopped in a few years, but that would be landlord gentry's biggest nightmare.
He's smart enough to understand that while these interventions might help, they're realistically only going to add a decade or two to his life. And the stuff he's doing is fairly intensive – it's not like he's just changed his diet or something. Going to such extremes for an extra decade isn't affordable and likely not even worth it for most people who want to balance enjoyment with longevity.

I don't get the claim he's doing this for science either because even if he lives a couple of extra decades (say to 100) it would be difficult to claim that his interventions did anything at all given no trends can be made from a single data point. And the bulk of any longevity gains is probably going to come from simple interventions like exercise and diet.

So I think you have to be cynical... I think you have to assume he's taking an extreme approach to gain some notoriety within the growing anti-aging community and is trying to leverage that for self-promotion and profit.

I mean, why is he being so public about this stuff anyway? The guy has a YouTube channel where he talks about all the things he's trying so it's not like this is simply something he is personally interested in and occasionally writing about. He's clearly making his self-experimentation a business and clearly wants people to follow his journey. For example, this isn't simply information, this is marketing material likely designed to be shared on social media, https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0128a596fea8b3a19e55...

I'm not hating though... I think it's kinda cool what he's doing honestly, but it's hard to not see this as a play for fame or clever marketing for a wellness / supplement business.

This got me confused. Says he "repaid the proceeds of his scam to cover the city’s insurers". Does that mean it was lower than the amount stolen and just the amount the city paid the insurance? So he paid the premium but not the total amount covered?

edits: another source says he settled with the insurance company which implies its less than the total amount.

C'mon dude. Stop the hate and grow up.

If my father called me today and asked for my blood in order to live longer I would gladly help him. I want my father to be healthy and live as long as possible. Besides giving blood is not bad for you, it can even have positive health effects that several studies have shown.

You also have to assume that the blood giving is consensual since there is no reason to assume otherwise.

Also it was a trial in which he stopped when no positive effects were shown: https://www.businessinsider.com/millionaire-bryan-johnson-st...

I am glad he is focusing on a vegan diet (especially if no technological revolutions are made in artificially derived animal products). It's nice to learn about the downsides of it in order deal with them rather than just defaulting back to animal products.

One of his main points in the intro is not destroying our biosphere and going vegan is the single most impactful thing an individual can do to support that. Supplementing B12 is not that hard of a task to ask from a population which already swallows pills and powders by the kilograms a year.
> GP wasn't talking about eating what his ancestors ate but eating in a way that they ate (boom and bust).

Ah yes, eating in the way they ate, it suddenly makes so much sense /s

> The rest of your post isn't worth addressing.

But this is my point. Why not? Why are people picking this one thing (food) to be "more like our ancestors" and not any of the countless other variables? And why is wanting to be like our ancestors even a thing given that they probably had hard lives that would basically be considered poverty by our standards?

My estimate is coming from a research done 15-20 years ago and implemented in a calculator[1]. It is not precise but works well enough based on my personal history of walking more to lose extra weight.

I switched to weight lifting, walking a lot and some kettlebell training for weight control after running for many years. Running is great but in my case resulted in joint and back problems.

One surprising thing about walking vs running is that running doesn't burn all that much calories compared to the effort it requires. While I can integrate walking into my daily routine (15-30 minutes in the morning, at lunch time and in the evening), running needs at least 1.5-2 hours per day.

The great thing about this strategy is that you won't appreciate what you have missed until it is too late to fix anyway.
THe simplest way is as follows:

1. There's a provider that already has your data (it could be the government, a bank, a phone carrier etc). If more than one provider is supported, there's a list of trusted providers somewhere.

2. Whenever a website needs an age check, it asks you to authenticate with one of the trusted providers. The provider gets a challenge (a random string).

3. If you authenticate successfully, the provider uses their public key to provide a cryptographic signature of the challenge. This signed challenge is then transmitted back to the website.

In a more advanced version of this system, the website also provides a boolean expression, like `country_of_residence not in forbidden_countries && (age > 21 || (age > 18 && country_of_residence != "us"))`, and providers promise not to return successful responses for users who don't fulfill the expression criteria.
It's amazing how far you can get in crime by not driving a flash car and just generally keeping a low profile

> I haven’t jumped to a conspiracy theory, I have been watching the spread of misinformation about EVs for a while.

So? The simplest explanation is still "Controversy sells".

Remember Gamergate? Even though the game journos agreed in writing that they will all present the same message, the people who were pro-journos still insisted that there was no conspiracy, it was just coincidental that all the game publications appeared united behind a single (often verbatim) message.

Your proposal has even less evidence for conspiracy than gamergate, so why would you think it's more likely?
I am more thinking in the lines of Conan, vcpkg, NuGet, npm, Maven, Gradle, and system packages (with pkg-config), it is more than just a binary blob.

This was decades ago, the ticket machines were not real-time connected to anything. It's entirely possible the numbers accounting used for ticket sales was the amount of cash retrieved from the machines, and there was no separate system keeping track of the tickets printed.
Except, it'll be hard to prevent the many (as opposed to the very few) from buying this deflationary currency and thus profiting from speculating or putting their savings in it.

As long as the masses have something to offer to the few, their labor, they can profit from the deflation to the exact same degree as the few do.

This is what sets it apart from other easily tradeable financial assets. With most (if not all) other easily tradeable financial assets, there's no way for the individual to prevent governments and finance companies from skimming off arbitrage and thus making the individual lose relative to them, yet again.

With Bitcoin, as long as the individual sticks to the plain asset (instead of some derivative), no intermediary can claim the greater share of gains through appreciation.
I actually would expect less calories to make you more productive at work, increase cognition and libido. Obesity has been shown to negatively affect all three. More data is always useful for drawing more precise conclusions but the available data suggests there is no benefit to over eating.

Another side effect to take into consideration when offering notifications to customers is the impact on your services if customers action on those notifications.

At a bank I worked at, we enabled salary transaction notifications. Soon we found that because the salary was deposited into everyone's account at the same time from the bank, a large amount of notifications was trying to be sent at the same time which caused a bunch of services to suddenly receive a lot more traffic than usual.
Something doesn't add up. At his 38k CAD salary as a repairman, the entire budget of the LRT would pay for just 26 repairmen? What about the drivers, electricity, maintaining old and buying new trains?

Interesting. A litte after that time, aged 13-14, I was interested in coin pusher machines[0], which (despite being gambling) were not age restricted where I lived. Obviously I wanted a way to do better than the system allowed and wanted to know if I could use magnets to pull the coins towards me[1]; some research showed that some "coppers"[2] were magnetic and others weren't, and that it seemed to depend on the date the coin was stamped.

Although I can't remember now if the older or the newer coins were the magnetic ones, I wonder if the composition was changed in part due to this case?

Typically when you have damages and are insured, then the insurance pays you and then goes after the original claim to get their money back. That is, the party that had the original damage leaves the claim to the insurance which then deals with getting the money back from the perpetrator while the original victim already got their money from the insurance.

This also moves the risk of the perpetrator not being able to pay the damage. Now the victim does not carry that risk anymore. The insurance does. Which is their value proposition.

There is no sharp line between "slowing down aging" and common-sense things like diet, sleep, exercise, etc. It all exists on the same spectrum.

>simply getting them on to a nutritious diet would do far more for their quality of life and their lifespan than slowing down aging ever could.

That in itself is a scientific claim that needs to be supported by evidence. How are we going to get that evidence if we aren't doing the research? We also don't have a good definition of exactly what a "nutritious diet" is. The idea that we shouldn't be be investing in health and longevity research is anti-intellectual and short-sighted, in my opinion.
>Why not mention things like that along with all the optimism?

The only people I see with extreme optimism are weird tech people. Most people I follow outside of that circle range from laughing at this to "kinda neat" (like you and me).

Is anyone convinced this is "worth it", or that what he's doing is actually anti-aging anything?

Note that this will make society's ability to build things even worse.

The UK has gotten worse and worse at large scale construction over time as laws and rules and culture have gotten more conservative. Near me a small bridge is being widened. This takes a year and a half and £160 million, partly due to well intentioned rules. For example, one that says you need to have two attendants guiding traffic at every location people could get to the site, which means 12 very bored men standing around all day doing nothing at the two intersections at the edge of the build site.

Rules made from our ivory towers can't take into account all the factors that will actually occur in our fractally complex reality, particularly as times and situations change.

The impossible task gets even harder when second and third order effects come into play. For example, if a license is required to work, that license can be lost if something ever goes wrong and firing for not approving something is impossible then a second order effect could be that engineers will have every incentive to never approve things, requiring every safety feature rather than taking the time and effort to determine which are needed in the situation. The third order effect is a gradual shift of engineering culture towards being more conservative, as being more than average levels of risk taking means you can't just point at what everyone else does and say "Best practice!".

Yeah, if I were you I would work as as hard/smart as feasible to finish the uni. I.e. I am fortunate to live in the EU and have many friends that dropped off uni to work and now live happy lives and first time they bumped into a problem with not having a degree is when they wanted to take a stab at working in the US, because there are visa requirements and suddenly that paper is no longer meaningless.

So take the uni as an oportunity to learn to work the system. If you are not affraid about the basics (roof over your head, food, e.t.c.) it should not be as high stakes. You can figure out how to pass, where to put in effort, where to avoid, make friends, teach each other, work for each other, e.t.c. ... there might be exchange program to get yourself to more interesting university. There could be payd internship that can count towards credits to finish your program (no idea how your coursework works) There could be a way how to continue studying through the military service? My country used to have civil service alternative, where you'd work as a helper-to-nurse/janitor in hospital while being able to live at home, but thank god for professional army.

If you are affraid bout the basics, I can't help you there. My grandpa emigrated his second country in 50's, thought he'd find job in Austria through friend, but then found out some ostblock countries have stipends for farmacologists, so he finished his studies east of iron curtain.
