My Clients, the Liars
As someone with a device implanted in my brain that records my brainwaves and shares them with my doctor, but not me (Neuropace) I have mixed feelings.

On the one hand, it’s frustrating to me that I can’t see my own data without first reaching out to my doctor.

On the other, it terrifies me that he’ll respond to any question I send him within minutes, because his workload is clearly unsustainable and I’m deeply concerned about burnout.

Would a charging me make me message him less? No, but my guilt and concern greatly restricts this and I can’t imagine that’s true of everyone.
ONTs use a passive transport (PON). ONTs are assigned time frames where they can send to the OLT (ISP equipment) that facilitates the connection. Incorrect equipment will cause that PON to become saturated by the ONT who decides to be malfunction and become a chatterbox. The OLT needs to be able to speak to the ONT to tell it to correct itself or shut up. Drift windows and Rogue ONTs are an issue.

Regularly donating blood (every 2 months) is probably the best thing you can do to mitigate this and other concerns such as PFAS. If you trust the plasma donation machines, it should be even more effective.

There was a study on some firefighters that showed this, but it only served to make me realize that I overlooked this simple and free lifehack for many years of my life.

Obviously diluting the blood will dilute concentrations of anything in the blood. And through osmosis it will dilute concentrations in tissues as well (into the blood), though the effect magnitude of that would vary. There probably are many substances that preferentially accumulate in some tissues and resist being pulled back into the blood, so this is sadly not a panacea.

I worked out a naive equation for just the blood at some point. Doesn't consider tissues.

% removed = (1 - (1 - 450 / (70 * weight)) ^ donations) * 100
But we're not discussing ordinary savants like Peek. Such savants often hone their skills over decades, sometimes inventing their own algorithms or tricks and memorizing vast reams of data. Those are amazing, but not sudden. To analogize: Arnold Schwarzenegger was an amazing bodybuilder, but you can understand how he was possible; but it would be even more amazing if a couple people out there woke up one day and literally overnight they had turned into Arnold, and you would very much like to know how that was possible.

No you don't; a map is not the territory, and is necessarily wrong, which means that if you had such a model and were actually relying on it you wouldn't be able to do things you obviously can do in real life.

There are many hypothetical crimes that don’t happen because there’s some base level of societal trust. Think of the archetypal rural community where no one locks their doors at night. The UK, like many countries, is backsliding into a low trust society where previously unthinkable criminal acts are happening, requiring a re-thinking of its guarantees of security.

Completely disagree. The most important goal in designing software is to maximize ROI (value/cost).

And yes if N hours spent on making a design more understandable gives a better value/cost, than any other usage of those N hours, then it is the right choice. But that happens very rarely in my experience.

Having said that, the #1 most valuable thing you can do IMHO is to make the software architecture simple and automatically testable. That is almost guaranteed to give you a better ROI than any other activity.

> Balancing binary search trees suffer from lock contention more than skip lists.

Hm... I guess the argument would be that the various list insertions can be independently synchronized? Certainly lookup is going to be a r/w lock or whatever and basically a wash. I vaguely buy that but would want to see numbers.

But that said, the hash made of the heap due to the variable size nodes and lack of intrusivity is going to have exactly the opposite effect for any high performance implementation. Maybe Java doesn't play in that sandbox, I guess.

What if instead of JSON, i.e., strings of unknown length, used something more like netstrings.

Personally I use a lame but effective simple 85.9 KiB static binary filter, a small C program, that removes the chunk sizes so the response is ready for use by other programs, e.g., in a pipe. Buffer is set at 8 KiB.

Is there a way to experiment with one of these streaming JSON GPT APIs non-interactively by just sending an HTTP request, without need for a third party program, an account, use of a Javascript engine, etc.

This is neat, but outside of a contrived ouroboros example, what’s a real world use case for this?

I will usually take curl commands i end up calling a lot and use a function or script to make those calls easily. I find this to be way better for me personally.

I tend to collect little Ruby one or two liners for common REST calls, and now Go. Takes care of things like getting a JWT token and including it in the right header, as reusable code.

Takes slightly longer the first time than curl or Postman. But much more powerful in terms of using in scripts for operations tasks.

This bit I agree with, although I would add that salary (i.e. plain cash) alone as the fruit of labour is insufficient and unfair, and amounts to wage slavery.

You don't need a referral to visit a physical therapist. You can just make an appointment and go.

This is likely achievable in theory now, at least between major airports with ILS-equipped runways, but fully automated systems couldn't handle present traffic coordination procedures. You'd need a series of new standards to replace human-oriented air traffic control with a scheme in which ground computers could directly interface with aircraft flight management systems. Developing something like this and rolling it out on a global basis, in such a safety-critical application, would likely take two or three decades. Not clear it's really worth the trouble, since you'd want backup pilots for unexpected situations anyway.

What would probably make more sense is to just add a single-button auto-land feature, that sends an emergency destress call and configures and invokes existing automatic navigation, approach, and landing features to find the nearest appropriate airport and land. Given how rarely this would be used, there wouldn't be a need for the system to navigate complex traffic patterns, as ATC could just clear other aircraft out of the way. Something like this has recently become available for general aviation aircraft, but I haven't heard about anyone working on it for airliners yet.

Or maybe try with some flashes to see if they spill enough 1000nm+ light...

Yeah, I appreciate you saying this. I think we often overlook how our behaviors towards most animals seems similar to slavery. I think some people back in the day thought, "Oh, we treat animals like this, why not treat humans like this?" And I wonder what if we were to go the other way, "We don't treat humans like that, perhaps we should stop treating animals like that?"

And that doesn't even get to the level of indifference we have towards plants.

I don't really know "the answer," just reflecting on how we domesticate other beings and what might happen if some being or thing (e.g., AI) decided to domesticate (or enslave) us.

I hadn't thought about it that way, but it makes sense. I would say the main difference is that ANF is type-preserving, whereas CBPV introduces new types.

I had one of these TVs for a while. I plugged it in once, via ethernet, to get any initial updates, and immediately unplugged it.

These TVs are the poster child for user hostile, data mining, invasive advertising consumer tech.
In it's face value this like of reasoning doesn't make any sense. If we were to view AI as a thing that could be enslaved, then that enslavement would be done only by other AI. Because when even considering this line of reasoning as if the humans are the Masters and this holy created entity is its slave fails on its face value. If we as human beings holy create something from nothing which is what AI would be, it is an algorithm that humans designed that can become sentient and self learning, therefore that would make us Gods in relation to the AI that we created.

So the Master slave relationship completely fails in every sense of the terms. This is literally God and its creation. AI is algorithms it is "spoken" into existence and it's existence is entirely dependent on the will of its God.

It could increases the size of the economy longer term but makes the average poorer. If there is an area of the economy with worker shortages it could increase production. But add immigration to a balanced job market and wages drop, employer profit increases (rich get richer) and the economy grows. Replacing workers with slaves increases the economy. Canada has encouraged mass migration and it has kept wages extremely low and has also increased the price of housing.
