"management gave us no choice" - Would you have done differently?

"The only way we could show clients a passing pentest..."
I’m quietly obsessed with the idea of rebuilding a lot of modern user interfaces just using classic controls that we’ve had since the 90s. Checkboxes, radio buttons, labels and text input elements. I don’t know if it would be as good as what we have now, but there would be something so relaxing about all of my applications looking like they’re part of the same world.
the "article" you linked is a bulleted list of timestamps into a podcast from December 4, 2023. Near minute 57, they're talking about tissue samples from euthanized mice... And mention "(58:15) no one at this point knows what tissue to look at" If you want to get more specific than that with timestamps, it might aid in further discussion.

But, clearly these podcast participants (from 2023) hadn't read this study from Feb 20th 2024. And the study seems quite clear what biomarkers they're measuring:

"Biological age estimates have been developed to approximate the level of aging and subsequent morbidity and mortality risk for an individual. Estimates based on clinical chemistry typically combine multi-system biomarkers (here: albumin, alkaline phosphatase, serum creatinine, C-reactive protein, Hba1c, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol) into a single variable meant to capture the level and rate of organismal aging44,45,46,47,48 (Table S2)."
Best looking case ever? Yeah I think so.

Asking for a friend :) On VPN at home, using my work laptop, I happen to browse some non-decent content, more than once, maybe routinely. Is that all tracked or do VPNs have routing to use VPN only for company network, and leave NSFW be handled by my ISP? Or even if is going via ISP and not company network, are the companies usually able to track what all sites I visit

Not a Google employee BTW, but work for a company that I am reasonably sure does monitor their network.
Ask HN: Is it worth paying $6k/month for an SEO agency?
I'm part of an offline healthcare provider specializing in a procedure pioneered by our founding doctors. For the past six months, we've been paying an SEO agency $6,000 per month to increase awareness of this new procedure and help reach more patients. However, we're not sure if it's worth the investment. (We've looked at other SEO agencies, and the minimum cost seems to be around $3,000 per month.)

From what we've observed, SEO agencies seem to focus on 3-4 main areas:

1. On-page optimization (HTML/JS improvements which our team can handle with WordPress/Yoast)

2. Keyword analysis

3. Content writing

4. Getting backlinks

The SEO agency has been boasting about the backlinks they're getting us from their "partner" websites with high domain authority scores, and we know that backlinks are important for SEO. Maybe it's just us being used to medical journals and such, but the websites providing these backlinks look quite spammy to us. Does the value/importance of these backlinks justify the cost? Will Google's search algorithm changes announced yesterday render our SEO agency's questionable backlinks useless?

We're hesitant to contribute to the further deterioration of the web by engaging in questionable SEO practices, but we also want to ensure that we can reach potential patients effectively.

Additionally, it's difficult to prove the direct causality between the SEO efforts and increased traffic with concrete data. While we've seen an increase in visitors since working with the agency, we're not sure if it's due to their SEO work or our other PR and awareness marketing efforts.

We're considering handling the technical SEO ourselves and hiring a competent freelance content writer to create blog posts. We have a unique position and knowledge in the field, such as long-term efficacy papers. It's not easy to turn those papers into easy-to-read blog posts, and our SEO agency has been doing a surprisingly good job. But if original content writing is the most important part, wouldn't it be better to hire a freelance writer than an SEO agency doing a good-but-not-great job at writing with questionable backlink services?

What would you recommend we do in this situation? Is it worth investing in an external SEO agency, or are there better alternatives? Are there solid, preferably open-source tools that will allow use to see the impact/ROI of the SEO efforts more clearly than just the vanity metrics we see in Google Analytics?

How much are you actually eating under this diet of yours, in terms of calories? It sounds entirely like you're not actually eating enough, and as soon as go back on carbs you're up around a sustainable number of calories per day.

The thermic effect (energy used in digestion) of protein is on the order of 20-30% of the stated calorie value. "Keto snacks" are probably not on the "high in fat" end of the spectrum (also what's your salt intake like under this?).

Get an app and start weighing / noting what you're eating and see if you're actually hitting a plausible number of calories (for comparison, I need about 11,000 kJ [2750 kcal] per day with moderate exercise and a high protein diet [150g a day target] to not lose weight).
“Accessibility > Reduce animations” is the magic trick to make modern UIs feel snappier and less distracting. I wish web UIs would respect it.

In my (not quite professional) opinion, $6K for an SEO agency is not worth it, and you'd be better off with a freelance writer and potentially a freelance web designer to enhance your landing page and blog layout IF you feel it's necessary.

I have done several fasts (longest 9 days), and low calorie dieting sounds more challenging than not eating. Once you get into the groove, it feels like you can continue not eating for a long time. Having to be perpetually hungry, but allowed to eat only the right things seems a recipe for failure.

Acknowledge the specific problem in front of you but also generalize: nepotism is bad, and nobody wants to work at a family firm. Create new nepotism rules going forward. “Grandfather” in the wife’s current status on current projects, but make it clear she won’t have a favored position on new projects.

Make it clear any equity to the wife will come from her husband.
Depends what you want in life. If you build the walls around you so high, that no one can pass, you might be secure, but also alone and imprisoned, if you build no door in, to let others come in.

"That secrecy, however, comes with a psychological cost. Most people love being recognized for the work that they do, and yet you cannot take any credit for this in real life. Even simple things can be challenging, like friends asking you what you have been up to"

So sure, it is more safe, to always keep it a secret. But it is more fun to do things together, we are social beings after all. But yes, if the "together" gets too big and the whole project more popularity, getting caught is only a question of time. The licence holding companies do work with (private) undercover investigators. At least for music and movies. Not sure if the book rights companies are playing in the same league.

I will chime in to say that I have several times taught a course on Quantum Computing using an Scott Aaronson type approach and a course on Quantum Mechanics in the traditional way. With some overlap of students.

The gap in understanding between the students in the two courses is humongous. Both sets of students would need to essentially sit through half a semester of the classes of the other course to understand what they are saying.

The QC students don't know Schrodinger's equation at all, let alone how to solve it for the quantum harmonic oscillator or for the hydrogen atom (without which I agree you don't know QM). And the QM students know what Hamiltonian dynamics look like, but little about unitary dynamics.
It's still impressive---imagine writing 1000 words of English without reusing any function words like "the", "it", "of", "is". And just to show off, the Qianziwen holds a bunch of those words for the very last line!

Try to disable/reduce animations in your OS via accessibility settings, you will see that you really don’t lose much.
Yeah you plug holes so you don't have to audit everything. Disable USB ports, alert on large file transfers, audit file access and device logins, no access to local network shares off-site, etc. That's probably good enough for 99% of the world.

Capturing all network traffic is absurd and I doubt that's even a thing. You'd need a department the size of the existing company to be able to manage and do anything meaningful with it. Maybe if you had a super secure jump box you could consider monitoring all the traffic on that, but there are much much easier ways to audit behavior than network traffic. Monitor the devices instead.

That's only kind of true. Standard continuous-variable quantum mechanics has all sorts of consistency problems, and the only way to get reasonable predictions out is to paper over infinities and pretend they don't exist.

I know there are what are called C*-algebras, which help solve some of these issues, but I don't know anything about them. I do know that the Hilbert Space approach is not sufficient.
I highly encourage you to read some well researched books about Putin, his world view hasn't changed all that much. This is a former KGB man. He has held, for a while, that the fall of the USSR was one of the biggest disasters in history. His rise in power was stemmed by a terrorist attack which he possibly had a hand in to orchestrate his rise and the eventual invasion of Chechnya.
I guess, despite the various arguments for the ban, I'm always a little concerned when the government tells companies like Apple what apps they can and can't distribute.
One thing I forgot to mention in the post which I think is kinda cool: at the NeurIPS Efficiency Challenge this year, where Tim Dettmers and I both did keynotes, every single top-ranked entry used QLoRA! The challenge was to create the most accurate model on a single GPU in 24 hours.

I think that is a great example of how important and useful QLoRA is. Maybe we should run a dual-GPU challenge next time not that multi-GPU is working...
Would you mind elaborating? I've been intermittent fasting daily for years now and while I'm generally in good health my physician has advised me to lower my LDL cholesterol which is far too high. I've been attributing this high LDL to a large amount of eggs and cheese in my diet, but if there are other potential factors contributing to my high LDL I'm all ears.
I agree. I give Apple more benefit of the doubt than other tech giants. I see many knee-jerk reactions to what Apple does --- in my opinion --- rightfully. After all, many of these decisions are trade-offs, such as reusing parts from another iPhone being a measure against theft. I thanked the previous user I replied to because they were able to go beyond knee-jerk reactions and highlight issues in which Apple is pushing too hard on the trade-off scale.
> It's a technical demonstration

So? The justification is still substantive. What would change in a real slider that turns real setting on/off?

> delay is also overemphasized

That's only true for those slowed down by a factor of 8. Otherwise it's not, I see the exact same issue in real-world sliders on web sites and in apps.

> Toggles don't always represent on or off, either

But they mostly do, add they do in this case ("turned_on"). The other use cases would have different issues like the choice of colors (green is for on)

Then you overly general description forgets to prove that slower and more confusing control (which some generic non-tech users try to actually slide by holding a mouse button and moving the mouse instead of clicking) is actually preferable because it "feels" nice to them

Also, these

Notice how I didn't say growth, since it bounces up and down. And that looks like a significant proportion to me.

If your argument is that these numbers are not enough for "very widespread extent", then are you saying it was never a pandemic to begin with?

And you already said it was endemic. Are you arguing that a pandemic needs bigger numbers than that?
I am profusely colorblind, and it's infuriating when people only use colors to indicate something.

Please for the love of god give me a checkbox over a red/green slider toggle. Shapes, please, shapes.
Despite the fact the story is male centric, it doesn't imply Toriyama-san is innate sexist. He was influenced by martial arts film and Bruce Lee, hence it is rather nature for him to create male characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Toriyama#Style

What he did does not stop the next generation to fight for a more gender equal Japan or the World.
For a generation of western would-become-anime-fans Toriyama-san was the hand that guided us. Dragonball Z, especially in US, served to introduce an audience who otherwise would have never had an interest in animation to a form of entertainment we love. His sense of character design is iconic, to the point that video games and manga he was involved in are immediately recognized as his work. The worlds of Dragon Quest are every bit as culturally formative for rpg fans. His work will continue to be treasured and he will be missed. I will spend some time watching Dragonball Z with my kids this weekend and enjoy every minute of it.

"It is said to be the worst conflict in all of human history."
No it is not, that is incorrect. I really dont know where you get that from. And I dont agree that there have been a VERY violent history. Yes there have been wars, and all war are voilent, but not anything special for that era. Between 1200-1800 there was 15 wars. From 1-10 years and the majority of them lasted just 1 or 2 years.

And fun facts: Of the 15 wars Denmark started 11 of them and Sweden won 11 of them. Sug på den danskjävlar ;) Sweden is a peaceful coutry and that contry that have lived longest in the world without war, over 200 years.

All nordic countries are very similar in so many ways and our language are almost the same so we can understand, "almost" each (except the Danish people (rest of the nordic countries understand what I mean :), maybe that why there have been conflicts ;) We, the nordic countries see ourself more like a family, like siblings that love each outer but also love to tease each other :D

Sounds to me like GP is complaining about Chrome's permission model, not this particular extension.
Also a lot of the complexity comes around doing new things like any sort of cleansheet design. SpaceX has absurdly good reliability launching Falcon 9's because of how many they launch and have launched while they've crashed a ton of starships.
>However, this still looks a bit clumsy due to having a constant speed

Does it? Looks much better to me, and preferred to waiting for a animation to be given more time to speedup while looking "smooth" (they seldom seem to be given the same time as instant or linear animations, do they? For some reason we have to be forced to enjoy them in half time).

In fact I'd take the "instant toggle" in a heartbeat too. Real life toggles don't "exponentially smooth" from one side to the other either.
ChatGPT's got it.

Yo, listen up, as I paint the universe broad and deep,
Sky's dark, Earth's yellow, secrets ancient they keep.
This life, this hair, rooted in the core,
Four elements, five virtues, what we livin' for.

Cities shining, from east to west we're ruling,
Grounded in the earth, it's agriculture we're schooling.
Lose yourself in books or market's charm,
Life's treasures, keep close, safe from harm.

Sun and moon, their dance of light and dark,
Nature's cycle, in harmony, leaves its mark.
Respect for life, ain't no damage done,
From mountains high to rivers deep, under the same sun.

etc.
I mention Apartheid South Africa three times in this thread. Once to demonstrate that USA withdrawing support can mean an end to an oppressive system and liberating their peoples (as opposed to turning it into a pariah state akin to North Korea). And here I mention it as point of comparison to which values Israel might hold (as opposed to the vague unspecified “western values” my parent was talking about). Later down I mention Apartheid South Africa for the third time to reinforce that USA’s values (should) support freedom from oppression.

Nowhere am I comparing the rights of the victims of various forms of Apartheid.

Here in particular I’m trying to get my parent to explain what they mean by “western values” and am using Apartheid South Africa as an example of what I believe the values of Israel resemble.

I have a different definition of what a "need" is.
I think the most rational course of action would be to accept that this is impossible and to try not to worry about future events that you, by definition, will not be present to have feelings about.
They don't provide the same level of privacy that the Signal protocol does, though. Plus, I'm not sure why WhatsApp would implement a whole second protocol in the first place, they're doing this out of legal obligation, of out of free will.

I have some minor hope that WhatsApp will eventually switch to MLS+MIMI, as someone from Facebook does take part in the design process, but that could also be because of Facebook Messenger really.
This isn’t like ease-in-out at all. It resembles ease-out a little.
>> This method helped DING evade immediate detection

Evidently not. It just shows that the guy is not a foreign intelligence operative - a professional could easily operate there for years undetected with fairly basic opsec. That said, aside from things like hardware designs and perhaps certain model weights, I struggle to think of anything at Google that anyone would want that’s not already on GitHub.
>Computer UIs need animations for the same reason they need shadows, gradients, and momentum: because these are aspects of the physical world that we already know how to interpert, so can be used "for free" to aid our understanding of the UI

More like "for the same reason a fish needs a bicycle".

>Not using animations would likely be more taxing on our visual processing

And yet, Windows 2000 era UI was far more intuitive, consistent, and self-discoverable than today's animated, shadowed, gradient-filled, blurry transulcent, momentum-having flat crap.
