I am not aware of clinical studies on that.

One thing that to me makes me think it might be more correlation than causation is that the nasal turbinate pathway is not the major CSF absorption pathway. We know this because people who have blocked CSF circulation lower than that, end up with high pressures inside the skull and require an EVD or else they die.

In addition, lumbar punctures collecting CSF for analysis are used for some diagnostic studies. I did not see anyone suggesting that the lumbar puncture itself might help with Alzheimer’s.
Storing data with user permissions, not permission-less. Its in no way like local storage or indexdb. Those permissions could be scoped to only allowing explict read/write of certain files (IE, the ones the user initiated) and not allow for arbitrary writing of files to the filesystem, for instance.

> So why does it turn out to be hard whenever it’s being done for huge real-life projects?

I mean, given that this is essentially an ad to use Nix, of course it's going to come to the conclusion that the problem is something that Nix to use. But my experience is that the answer given here is the wrong answer.

No, the real reason why huge real-life projects have extra complexity in cross-compilation is that huge real-life projects tend to build tools to generate the code that needs to be built. This means that you have to keep track, in your build system, of what's being built for the host and what's being built for the target. And some things have to be built for both, which means only being built once when host == target.

Oh, and this also means that when you're probing your toolchain to figure out what flags you need to throw on, you have to avoid doing such probing in a way that requires actually executing the results of a configuration test, because that's not possible.

And maybe your project wants to have top-level builds automatically hook up emulation or something similar during the regular high-level test commands for developer convenience.

Overall, cross-compilation for huge projects is difficult for build systems because huge projects in general are difficult for build systems and cross-compilation is an extra layer of pain that has to infiltrate every layer of the build system, and be specifically considered at every layer. If your build system is more complicated than "compile this list of files and link the result," then introducing cross-compilation is necessarily going to be more complicated than just "point the build system at the cross compiler toolchain"--and that is pretty much the definition of "huge real-life projects."

> Tan, for his part, apologized over the weekend, noting that his post was a reference to a Tupac Shakur lyric

How famous does someone have to be joke about a politician dying before it’s a problem? Tan is less famous than Charlie Sheen or Johnny Depp, who have joked about Trump dying.

Also, from Wikipedia: “Tan supported the 2022 recall campaign against progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Tan donated at least $100,000 to the effort. Tan blamed Boudin for physical attacks on Asians.”

There’s a fair argument that Tan is joking about violence against people whose policies are facilitating actual violence.

My limitation with it is that it means I have to recompile sqlite for my use case. That's sometimes easy and obvious to do, but it's a lot more of a pain if it's, say, the sqlite embedded in my language interpreter and I just signed myself up for compiling a custom Python to support my project.

Careful. Because it works in a very cold place doesn't mean it works in a place that is not as cold.

Here (Pacific Northwest coastal areas) winters don't get cold enough for long enough to freeze the ground. We don't get a lot of snow but when we do it often starts as snow that is barely frozen. It melts and we get a layer of water on top of roads. Then if the air temperature drops to near freezing as the storm progresses that layer of water freezes, and gets covered with snow, We end up with snow on top of big patches of ice.

Compare to places where they get frozen ground and the air too spends a lot of time below freezing. They get snow on top of frozen ground instead of snow on top of an ice layer.

Fortunately we only get days where the air is cold enough to keep the ground heat from keeping the ground clear a few days a year and with plenty of warning so most people can just avoid traveling then.
As someone who lives in the Boston area I think specifically the real estate holdings of these massive, non-profits should be held to scrutiny.

Boston is pretty constrained in terms of available land - and its large number of expanding universities means that a good portion of it becomes tax-exempt.

The city tried to implement a voluntary payment program to invoke the non-profits’ good will - but you can see for yourself that they rarely get what they asked for - Harvard only paid 80%:

https://www.wcvb.com/article/complete-list-of-colleges-hospi...

Harvard now owns 1/3 of the Allston neighborhood in Brighton - which for decades had some of the cheapest housing in Boston. If it’s gentrifying, at least let the city capture some revenue.

Mystery about insects and light at night gets new explanation
I learned about this after stumbling across the "Museum of Jurassic Technology" in Los Angeles, several years ago.

It was pretty clear from the outset that it wasn't a "real" museum, and one should not take the labels at face value, but as I worked through the collection, the random inconsistencies started to gel into a coherent sort of museum parody.

Searching around afterwards led me to the pataphysics movement.

Googling the museum again, I see it's now "by advance registration only", so I guess it's harder to stumble across, but I liked it.

That’s a really interesting perspective, I think it makes a lot of sense.

I was thinking about this alongside the emergence of magical realism in literature, but it looks like that took off a touch late (1920s per Wikipedia). It’s possible that earlier influences (e.g. Gogol) might have had a hand in both, but I find the reaction to scientific essentialism more compelling with respect to Pataphysics.
> become reliant on it

This is terrible advice. To be reliant on something is to be helpless when that thing stops working or is taken away. That's never a smart thing to do willingly, never mind enthusiastically.

By all means, learn how to leverage it productively, but be mindful not to become reliant on it.

Instead of relying heavily on self promotion one other obvious alternative is to to simply not make art your sole source of income. Many great writers came to writing from other careers (not surprising, given that it meant they actually had something to write about).

There's plenty of professional jobs in the creative industries themselves. Aspiring songwriters can work as studio musicians, a lot of voice actors do other commercial work on the side, and so on.

As long as you keep your income balanced you can slowly transition from salaried work to your own work and build an audience slowly, nobody desperately needs to make it big on TikTok.

Twitter has prior data from tweets. I don’t get it.

The algorithm they use to present one community note can be used to capture feedback and sort tweets instead. Problem solved. People have better access to balanced views but are not being nannied by the platform or elonsplained what is truth.

It's interesting when you put it that way.

In the Horizon case, and no doubt in many cases to come, the crime is
committed by a company against the public. They tried to pass it off as
incompetence, and blame "systems" but I expect the public enquiry will
lead to criminal proceedings against Fujitsu now.

Big companies may laugh at fines for treating their customers badly,
but I hope to see many more ruinously brought to book for their
criminal incompetence.

> hence, cost of incompetence = cost of all cybercrime + n.

Where n is at least as large as the other part. Scary!

The answer is simple and we can use computational complexity as an example: you have an NP problem and once you have a solution you can check the solution in polynomial time.

In my example: I can create content easily but not proofread it as easy as ChatGPT. Once ChatGPT comes out with a solution I can check if the solution is correct or not. Is this complex to understand? If you are a writer you can write quickly but need an editor to help you to improve your text, once your editor give you ideas you can use or discard them. Some of the ideas your editor gives you will never come from you or require more thinking that stops your writing flow.

I wonder what would happen if

(1) Massachusetts taxed nonprofit university endowments. (This would not directly improve services -- instead MA would cut personal income tax for the wealthy then reduce state funding for services like the legislature and governor did in 2023)

(2) In retaliation, universities built huge quantities of housing throughout the state, using their Dover Amendment exemption to avoid all zoning requirements. They would have to simulate an eligible use.

This would probably improve quality of life for communities - rents and home prices would go down due to the glut of new housing units.
