Scientists are a bit more savvy than you are giving them credit. Anything neurological is unlikely to have a silver bullet treatment. So researchers are going after what looks most promising with respect to understanding the disease as well as a path towards treatment. Which is currently AB (or Tau), but there is plenty of skepticism that we are chasing the only measurement we have.

Yet many other correlations are even hazier than AB.
Is it still possible that the chains are there but are missed because of the disease very slow progress?
I think that's very true where I live, too, even if we haven't literally decriminalized the more esoteric drugs. That said, if you're breaking another crime and also have drugs on you, I doubt those same cops would think twice about adding it on as an extra charge. Don't make trouble or "do crimes while you're doing crimes" and it's probably not a big issue.

Does anyone know how to get a lisp job? Or have any experiences to share? Its been a dream for a while for me, and I think I am possibly ready (at least with common lisp, have started doing more clojure recently though). It just seems so impenetrable to me, I don't even know how to begin to search for it.
Despite appearing almost identical, I haven't had good luck with the Winix C535. All 3 had poorly balanced blowers that either ticked or rattled, which wasn't the case in the 5 5500/5300 I've owned. It's a pity because they're super cheap at Costco.
You're using Typescript+CSS. Was hoping you'd support Python on the server, for game logic. Your timing is good because developers and publishers currently using BGA are unsettled and spooked by Asmodee's business model.

BGA Studio's stack is JS/CSS + PHP (client and server) + MySQL [0]

Yucata.de is JS + HTML + .NET 4.5 on the server [1]

(TTS was using Lua, which I looked into but seemed eccentric and limited, it's not even OO, why on earth choose a non-OO language for a boardgame).

Also here's a useful review of sites/frameworks from 2021: "VassalEngine: Survey of other boardgame software" [2]

Can you please please please integrate with Python on the server?

@publicdaniel asked below about the relevance of openai’s Ken Stanley of “greatness cannot be planned” fame. @jph00 Can you comment on the similarities and difference of your approach as you understand it, given that Ken is or was a research manager at OpenAI?

Here is Ken talking about the concept

“ collaboration can sometimes thwart innovation by tacitly forcing its participants into an objective-driven mindset.”
Strictly speaking they're all non-piano intervals, just some are more non-piano than others. (Or you can retune your piano …)
Yeah, these paragraphs from the paper sounds like the amyloid proteins can sometimes look/act like a prion if you squint:

> The far wider relevance of prion mechanisms was first exemplified with the discovery of yeast prions but has also widened considerably with the recognition that the more common human neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, involve accumulation and spread of assemblies of misfolded host proteins in what is often described as a ‘prion-like’ fashion with experimental transmission of relevant pathology in primates or mouse models. However, the importance for human disease was unclear until the recognition of human transmission of amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology via iatrogenic routes after prolonged incubation periods, causing iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and raising the possibility that iatrogenic Alzheimer’s disease may occur at even longer latency.

He's been writing as long as I've been riding as an adult (15 years or so). I'm not sure how "new" the breed is, but a lot of these folks pushing comfy tire frame bag relaxed cycling are the now middle-aged former fixed gear hipsters of days of yore. I might count myself among them.

Personally I was a co-op rat around the Great Recession learning how to build bikes from parts, and in the process realizing that you can build a nice riding bike from 50-60 year old parts. You don't have to spend a fortune on Di2 and carbon.

Now these folks are in more prestigious positions and the industry is paying attention to the demographic. We get companies like Crust and Velo-Orange and Riv selling us bikes based on how we actually ride (or like to think we do).

I also race, but I race on a modest steel bike and only for the love of the sport, not because I'm a top tier competitive athlete.
but morality was invented to help social apes mediate. why would you invent a set of beliefs no one agrees with? the purpose is consensus and predictability and alignment with biological programming.

Biofeedback has always intrigued me as a pain management device, although it went from being in the popular consciousness to not being talked about anymore. If there’s any validity to it, that could be a killer feature of VR - a headset that connects to biofeedback sensors, and uses its own sensors, in immersive biofeedback routines. Thats a use case that would justify the cost of Quest 3 (or even Apple Vision) alone.

I'm not sure it's anywhere as widespread as you think it is, or why it's relevant to this apart from "it too involves medicine" and, well, people are researching medical interventions longitudinally full-time, so I suspect it'll be analysed accordingly.

Interesting that you've prejudged it to be clearly bad, I'd wait for scientific evidence of that.
I didn't posit that a business should start off as a sustainable one.

I asked what happened to building a durable business as a goal?

I understand the VC model enough to know that sometimes for years you run red because you need economies of scale or some other engine to finally turn over and then at scale the business will start to generate bigger cash flow once it reaches that tipping point. Even if a bit simplified as an explanation, this isn't what I'm talking about.

What I'm asking directly is why exiting to a big company became a goal in and of itself. Lots of VCs poured money into companies with the distinct hope that those businesses would at the very least be acquired. I think this is the silly part. Every investment should be from the perspective of can this be durable if standing on its own two feet? and a big acquisition is not something that should be taken into consideration as part of the investment and business building strategy of either the VC firms or the founders.

That all got lost. Building a durable business should be the ultimate goal, and selling the business to a big company should be seen as lower status than it currently is.

Its not that I'm saying acquisitions don't make sense sometimes, I'm not. However as far as goal setting and running a business is concerned, it shouldn't really be thought about as a viable fallback or exit strategy until its readily apparent and available, but that hasn't been true for some time now. VCs and founders often explicitly look at acquisition as one of their "success targets" and hopes for a business. Lots of people on HN have admitted that they started businesses with some hopes that they could possibly be acquired. That is the drift away from sanity I'm talking about.

When some of my favorite google groups forums were going away, I wrote a perl scraper that started grabbing materials from my groups. Eventually Google perceived it as unwanted or suspicious contact, and shut off access to google for the entire company of 2000 I worked for at the time.

It's the compositor's job to composite in the most efficient way possible which in the best case would be using hardware compositing layers, if the hardware does not have enough layers than the compositor will use 3D graphics to combine layers together. Just because a GPU includes a 3D graphics pipeline that doesn't mean that everything has to go through it.

That depends on if you are familiar with the concept of trade-offs and recognize that the alternatives could have been worse.
I didn't find it clickbaity at all. The contents of the article were exactly what I expected based on the headline, and I didn't know this was possible.

The really interesting thing here is that Alzheimer's seems to be transmissible from person to person via biological material. The BBC headline you quoted, "Medicine stopped in 1980s linked to rare Alzheimer's cases", totally buries the lede and is borderline misleading.
I can recommend The War Game[0] in the same genre/time but involving the UK:

"The War Game is a 1966 British pseudo-documentary film that depicts a nuclear war and its aftermath. Written, directed and produced by Peter Watkins for the BBC, it caused dismay within the BBC and also within government, and was subsequently withdrawn before the provisional screening date of 6 October 1965. The corporation said that "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting. It will, however, be shown to invited audiences..."

The film eventually premiered at the National Film Theatre in London, on 13 April 1966, where it ran until 3 May. It was then shown abroad at several film festivals, including the Venice one where it won the Special Prize. It also won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1967.

The film was eventually televised in Great Britain on 31 July 1985, during the week before the fortieth anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, the day before a repeat screening of Threads."

Author here. My background is game development. Now I work on 3D modeling software. I wouldn't say I know "higher level math", because that seems like a very deep well...

What would be the best way to define "transform" here? What I mean is something that can be applied to a point, like a linear map. So translation, and/or rotation, and/or scaling, and/or skewing, are all things that can be done by this "transform" in 3D.

In computer graphics these are often expressed as 3x3 or 4x3 (or sometimes 4x4) matrices. But a "translation+quaternion" can also be a transform, or just a quaternion (a unit quaternion can be used to rotate points for example). So I'd be happy to use a better definition for "transform" than 'given a transform T that can be applied to a point' but I'm not quite sure what the best definition would be.
Do you remember that time Tupac killed Chino XL?
Crashed once in Nassau when I was a kid. Brakes failed on the left side on a Beechcraft Model 18, spun the plane around on touchdown. Slid sideways down the runway, broke the landing gear then rolled breaking the left wing. Everyone splashed through fuel walking away. There was no fire.

A year later I almost crashed in St Thomas in another Model 18. That was pilot error. Carburetor heat was on and we took all the runway trying to get off the ground. We took off towards the ocean and flew a long way so close to the water that we were sucking water up and spraying the plane. I was blissfully unaware as a kid. Thought the pilot was playing around.
Just answer "yes" whether you have or not? Presumably they'd skip the explanation then.
> Do we leave car wrecks on the side of the road?

If they get lost for 80+ years, yeah, we do. There's a state park not far from me that has a trail that uses an old highway's right of way for a bit. The highway is long long gone, but if you look down from the trail into the gully nearby, you can still make out a few rusting hulks of cars from the 1920's and 1930's that went off the road and were just left there.
When ever was Montel Carlo simulation considered "AI"?

Some tool using it marketed as AI, I can believe. But then again, nested IFs have probably also been marketed as AI in some products.
Think about it though, the ability to control a computer from your brain would be incredible. It's what UI development is constantly pushing towards - to be as close as possible to mind reading. This would literally be mind reading.
I know of one company that dumped its clojure code base because lambda costs were too high. They even experimented with graal as a fix.

As well as reducing population, negative birth rates have the side effect of ageing the population.

A population where most people are over 65 is one where ever more resources get spent on healthcare & pensions, paid for by the ever fewer number of working age people.

There’s also various toxic political effects ageing electorates can have on democracy.
Roomba strikes me as having a very similar challenge to many hardware companies:

1. Prove you can do something amazing
2. Raise a bunch of capital to scale it, betting on future revenue
3. Deliver! Great product, stellar growth, soaring revenue, re-invest in product
4. Flood of copycat competitors, drives up acquisition costs, eliminates higher price point, revenue tanks
5. Pivot. Try to sell another story, build the start of another product leap, loose traction in a new way, pivot.
6. Seek an acquisition before the music ends
7. FTC

In other words, product development (esp. app + hardware) is expensive, difficult, and constantly changing.

We don’t have a capitalist system competing on product merit but acquisition arbitrage. In almost all cases the inferior product wins.

There isn't really such a thing as free press covering China well, particularly in Asia. The closest thing was the Hong Kong press, but that got muzzled a few years back. RSF currently rates only Taiwan and South Korea as countries with free press in Asia, and those are not going to have the most unbiased view about China. https://rsf.org/en/region/asia-pacific

What do these two things have to do with each other?
Neuralink legitimately terrifies me. Not because "brain implant", but because of the multitudinous factors for failure surrounding it.

For example, lots of bio things can take a lifetime to have an effect. One crystal clear example of this is the buildup of AGEs in collagen and the like over time as a part of damage accumulation in the process of aging. Tons of drugs have taken decades to show signs of causing cancer, and whatnot.

Additionally, brain implants have been done before, but I honestly don't trust what comes out of neuralink, not just from the madcap madhouse environment that many employees have described it as, but also from the track record of dead animals, as well as the rather notorious examples of corner cutting in other similar companies. It's a human life. Is this thing on, are we thinking here? This is madness to me.

For example, what happens if there is progressive scarring over a few decades from electrodes. What about unintended side effects of certain kinds of signalling over several decades. Oh, you have a ground leak across leads? How does that impact brain dynamics over time? Why are we using humans as the subjects to describe these things? Why are people volunteering for this?

Like, I generally don't have a major conceptual issue with implants themselves in terms of the actual device itself. But I have a major issue with a company that comes from a fold of companies who has "plays it fast and loose" as a defining attribute. And has killed a lot of their own lab animals in experiments. I'm semi okay with brain implants happening through another organization that is much more responsible, but I really hope neuralink gets shut down before they do too much damage.

Just like asbestos snow decoration, you don't know the damage until it's too late. And maybe that's an okay analogy, structurally the leads aren't too terribly different from the absestos fibers that created scarring (though of course, asbestos is inherently carcinogenic on its own if I remember correctly).

Anyways. Hopefully people stay safe and we avoid the likely horror story that this is. And if it all comes crashing down in 30 years, I hope we look at this and don't do it again. :'((((
Puberty blockers have bene in use for about 40 years now. If it takes another 20 or 30 years to determine that it was a bad idea then the consequences must have turned out to be pretty mild.

Not sure. Often I'd rather have a distro that breaks a little more often, but is easier to understand and fix when it breaks, than one that's a little more tested but changes more often and is less well documented. If I wanted a polished product, and didn't care about fixing it myself, I wouldn't be using Linux in the first place.
I believe it was the same people, people that used to carefully plan how they'd use their 100kB of ram budget in C that then switched over to mission-of-the-week Python scripts.

The code that runs on Mars was always written by career programmers, not the rocket scientists. It was the mentality that they didn't have to carefully plan resource use, or even care too much about it, and if it didn't work, they could just ship a patch was just a giant cultural shock for them, because it was so different from how they wrote mission critical software in the last several decades.
I don’t think so. There’s nothing about social media that makes me feel like kids need it. Hell, if we could ban it for adults that would be an unmitigated good.

One thing I'm torn about is Apple's passive-aggressive “natural” scroll direction. It annoyed me a great deal that Apple changed that and chose this word, but it's something I could have adapted to and now have to deal with all Macs that aren't my own.
Try Racket. It’s easy to setup (from experience on macOS), easy to learn, batteries included, and a compiled Scheme (create binaries via `raco`, https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/exe.html).

It’s real highlights are very powerful macros and the ability to override the reader, so you can effectively create arbitrary languages (examples include reimplementations of Java, Lua, and Datalog, and a documentation generator with embedded Racket called Scribble). IMO it’s a research language first and foremost. But it has unusually good production support and online resources (I mean it when I say it’s easy to setup and learn), so I think it fits everything you asked for.
It's worth thinking about just how much could be accomplished with a device like this even with the theoretical minimum bandwidth. Just one input and output signal, like morse code. If your brain could reliably send and receive text that way. All of a sudden your brain has a built in CLI connected to a computer and the internet. Easily calculate numbers, telepathically communicate with others worldwide, look up anything with AI, etc. That all seems highly doable. Let alone all the other applications with higher bandwidth.
