Even if Dr Bredesen is misdiagnosing the causes of Alzheimer's, his recommendations are still just the basics of healthy living. Like exercise, getting enough sleep, good dental hygiene, etc.
I have a couple of projects where it is measured in minutes, on a dual core with 8GB and a SSD.

If only devs with beefy machines are able to use Rust properly, that hinders adoption.
Ifixit focuses on some weird criteria. Like pentalobe screws are annoying but not a real impediment to repair. Soldered NAND is a wear item and a WAY bigger deal.
This remains a bundling of two levers that we at one time tangentially related, but have sharply diverged: learning difficult topics in a deep and time-efficient way, and building a potent network.

It's all but universally acknowledged that technology represents the highest-leverage tool in the arsenal of getting things done in a leveraged way and this includes learning difficult topics in a time-efficient way.

The best universities (in the modern sense of the word) face and pretty much always faced a stark tradeoff between a faculty that were exceptional regarding novel research, and faculty that were chosen on the basis of educational outcomes, there's even a term for it: "teaching professor". Excellent researchers at the cutting edge of their field are only competent educators by coincidence, they're at a minimum different competencies, and arguably pull in opposite or at least different directions. Many of the best academic researchers in the world teach in some country where they learned the language they teach in late in life: every undergraduate in STEM has professors they struggle to even understand via verbal communication (people that smart can generally master written communication in another language far more easily than verbal communication).

There are better lectures (even restricting the field to e.g. MIT OCW) online and social interaction in a lecture is, with a few exceptions, disruptive and frowned upon. And even if someone wants to listen to a university lecture in person, universities generally have a formal or informal mechanism for non-students to attend them without any acceptance criteria or a staggering bill at the end.

The networking that happens at a top school is difficult to the point of being nearly impossible to achieve any other way.

I'm only interested in having this conversation if you're willing to address those points individually rather than as an atomic unit: they are not an atomic unit.
Yes, in fact we actually re-transmit the absolute minimum information (device join/sensor values) to ensure that the LoRaWAN link does not saturate. Data compression helps too and a user can also disable re-transmission of some meta-data, like link quality/battery level.
And from a reliable retailer that doesn’t sell counterfeits or turn a blind eye like Amazon does. If you buy Apple, get it from the Apple Store or B&H.
I have a 4080 with 16GB of VRAM. I experimented with llama.cpp by offloading layers onto GPU and doing the remaining on CPU. I found that it gives me max tokens/sec if I set it to 8 CPU cores as opposed to the 16 available on the 7950X. I guess beyond that, the bookkeeping between the cores might be taking up more time than it is worth.
And artillery if you make the glider from gun cotton.
Close, that's more gray with a tint.
That might make a case for replacing the name but not eliminating it. Eliminating it would be akin to removing the name "stomach cancer" because other cells can also become cancerous.

You need a name for things. And long flu might have different etiology than long covid despite similar symptoms, so it doesn't make sense to lump them together as "long virus".
But isn't your device’s radio powered up all the time anyway?
iFixit are a business. They are driven on attention and sales. Not facts. Although some of the time they overlap.
> This optimizes for Paul's outcomes not for the individual outcomes.

Actually, PG advice is solid. Trying to guess the next big thing is not a winning strategy. More so for teenagers who lack a lot of skills including good judgement. Even if their guess was guaranteed spot-on, and the universe was rooting for you, once the cat is out of the bag, what advantage would a 15 years old have? They don't have any war chest or connections to survive.

If the goal is to optimize the individual's outcome, outside working towards a stable 9-5 career, their best bet is indeed building projects they're passionate about and utilizing the skills they gain in their next endeavour.

One way to waste your life is being constantly distracted by which industry is more profitable or has more potential, doubting yourself and switching context.
Use the audio solution instead.
> But the problem isn't Apple and Bluetooh Headsets, it's that Apple made the play/pause button unconfigurable (without additional software).

Compare it with

> - Don't like that apple's "Music" app pops up when you connect a Bluetooth headset? => Install an app

The only difference is that you add a puzzling self contradiction of "the problem isn't Apple, but that Apple has..."

This is entirely an Apple and MacOS thing, and most certainly not an issue on Linux. Though I don't know about Windows.
1. Why would scammers care? Presumably it's a numbers game for them, and most job applicants are genuine, so why would they bother screening out people with bad grammar/spelling?

2. If you're a job applicant, wouldn't having obvious typos/grammar issues make you look less professional? Also, "bad spelling/grammar = scam" is a heuristic that people use as well, so you're effectively banking on the fact that the employer is desperate enough for a rockstar engineer that they'll interview anyone who applies.
Well... I am an engineer with quarter of century of development experience, just typically not in the know on the particulars of the given part of the system.

What I describe is my personal style which has been described as "detective". When things do not work well, I tend to get into the thick of things to get a sense of what is really happening "on the shop floor".

I remember, at the start of my career, my disdain for the execs. I couldn't really understand how you can go this far and yet don't understand the simplest basics of the business we are doing. Now I know that it is mighty hard to have true sense when everything you are being told is carefully filtered and worded, when every person you talk to is completely focused on how they appear in the discussion rather than about solving the problem.

So to fight this I get into a detective mode and I try to appear friendly to people, genuinely interested (which is not hard because I actually am!) and not trying to sound like all knowing and all powerful. And I do defer to engineers a lot, but I also tell them that they need to be able to support decisions with information.
I said "paying", not "using".
It would be better because if not then someone can turn it off. Automatically or by misinforming the user or by requiring it etc. Like now on ios you apparently just need to install a profile, maybe it's too easy.
This study strikes me as promotional material with a science flavour. It helps foster the desire for fermented food, ie its a means to shift premium product off shelves. I fancy some kimchi or kefir myself, having read it!

Unfortunately, I think even serious studies have this flaw (of being beholden to funding). The person or group providing the funding need to get a return on their investment. Ie even those more serious studies are a form of conjecture, with only a subset of data being approached, or some important element being excluded.
> „hi“

For the record, in English, quotation marks are always above letters: 'like this' or "like this" (or, ‘like thisʼ and “like this”, to use the typographically more correct glyphs, although HN renders all of these pretty badly with Verdana).

Single or double is a matter of style—British English style guides tend to prefer 'single quotation marks', and North American English style guides prefer "double quotation marks". But alternate between the two for nested quotes (or avoid nesting to improve clarity):

Joe said 'Jen said "yes!" when I asked her to marry me!'

„This“ style is strictly German, as far as I can see.
This is true in some forums, but not on this one. On this one, posting things that are even slightly non-consensus leads to grumbling and downvotes.
No, I mean enzyme drink. They are called differently all over the place. They are similar to kombucha, just without all that disgusting shroom in a jar thing.
If we are writing a scifi novel, sure.

If we mean that the current way of doing things will lead to that… I have strong doubts.
Price is a function of value, not cost. In this case the value is in managing your tasks in a way that means they get done. The sheer number of To Do list apps and services should tell you that this is truly a hard problem to solve - managing a task list is trivial, but doing it in a way that drives someone to do their tasks is immensely difficult.

If the app enables you to do that then $150 to actually keep on top of tasks you need to do is an amazing bargain.
It's not more dangerous than non-consensual body killing tech.

I'm not going to denigrate them for being a business. They've done more for repairability and sustainability than most.

Repairability is a process not a factual end state, there are tradeoffs in design.
Well the NFT-hype people have to go somewhere..

They learned that most people can't tell the difference between actual technical concepts and PR speak and it worked to sell NFTs, so now that AI is all the hype, guess what.
So sorry to hear the way this affected you. My wife had/has long covid - as I listened to people she met online with LC and a couple of people we knew already, what fascinated me was the 'menu' of symptoms that people got and just how different they could be, though overlapping.

She too had the POTS and range of aches and issues. While she's largely recovered now, she still has to pace herself.

Really hoping this is better understood in the future, and that we are better able to treat people with it.

HSV, VZV, HIV, CMV, Zika, and Ebola are all viruses that are known to potentially damage blood vessels in the brain. I don't think it's correct to assume a virus cannot just by nature of being a virus.

"..recently found that there is some sort of frequency that may enhance / trigger the natural junk clearance mechanisms that go on during sleep.'

I believe you are referencing [0], where scientists discovered that in mouse models the naturally occurring brainwaves generated during sleep help clean up extra cellular 'junk' in the brain via the glymphatic system.

It has been known since 2012 that the glymphatic system (which was discovered around that time) was a mechanism for cleaning the brain. And even back then there was speculation around if Alzheimer patients had some kind of damage to this system which caused the build up of amyloid proteins.

I have yet to see any research conducted on figuring that out (but it may exist).

I am still bewildered as to how the method was discovered.

Hunting cultures often have periods of surplus. Most likely this wasn't so much deliberate fermentation as an attempt to store their surplus; the fact that it turned well was a happy accident.
Wouldn't a "month" risk being many days off the intended target date, since it's a non-fixed timespan? E.g. how many days is "1 month from today" (March 20)? You mention medicine, so I assume there's something obvious I'm missing (then again, perhaps the constantly shifting dates for health care appointments where I live say otherwise ;D).
Anyone who has an eInk device (where such animations are impossible due to the refresh rate of the screen) can tell you that it's still fully usable and has nothing to do with getting back to BlackBerry or Treo.

It looks less nice and is limited in some ways, but for business needs to does the job perfectly.
No idea, wild guesses incoming...

Early humans (or proto humans) might not know that it was warmer in the south or colder in the north, across vast areas. Some days are colder than others, even if you stand still. Add to this the effect of changing seasons through a year, some years being colder than others anyway. You could migrate North slowly as Winter turned to Summer. Then camp for the winter and migrate back. And their migrations might have moved slightly further north year by year. They would have to track temperatures from winter to winter, without a calendar, thermometer, notebook, pen, map, compass and perhaps even an enquiring mind.

I don't think that humans decided to move to a colder place or even realised that their movement was taking them somewhere cooler.

Ultimately, they would have followed their food wherever it went. You might be better off asking why a caribou herd migrated further North. Who knows? Better grass? Less competition? Fewer predators? Lower sea level opening a path to new grassland?
EU's Vestager warns about Apple, Meta fees, disparaging rival products
>It is not as if the US had no capability gaps. For a long long while they had to buy seats from Russia to get their astronauts to the ISS.

There is a slightly different situation here, which is that the Space Shuttle was kinda... not that safe. I didn't like that either but for human rated spacecraft the requirements are all more strict, for good reasons. Unfortunately, those reasons are mostly things like Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia. But overall I think I agree.

>That level of conservativism doesn’t sound entirely healthy to be honest.

We weren't convinced it was either. Did you know they don't make parts for pen plotters anymore? Somehow the customer was surprised by this. We did manage to convince the right people there to allow the switch eventually but it was a struggle.

Phoronix does a lot of CPU benchmarks, including code compilation, but mostly focused on Linux. More result are also available in the OpenBenchmark page, which is also part of the same project. Take a look at the timed compilation test-suit: https://openbenchmarking.org/suite/pts/compilation

I will because their own products aren’t particularly good and their assessment of repairability on some products, as evidenced here, is likely biased by business relations.

I do a lot of repair work (ex EE / production engineer) and I’ve been shot by poor parts and tools from them. I look elsewhere first.
I am of the opinion that instead of letting legaleses define good/bad patent, we should let the economics work it out. Mandate patent filers to declare a public flat license fee . Along with annual recurring patent-maintenance tax to government as some X% of that declared fee.

Market will decide which patents are worth maintaining for 20 years, and government get proportional revenue as well.
No benchmark = no download.

Plenty of these SQLite web front ends exist, including more enticing single static binaries in go, and they are always far too slow to use in anything but toy projects.

Should be standard to bench against a standard SQLite integration (on modern cpu with nvme).

Even PocketBase, for as nice as the UI is, an order of magnitude slower than SQLite directly.

Here's some rough numbers I've found using SELECT * FROM user LIMIT 1; per second ( 1x / 10x / 100x )

SQLite

68,000 / 50,000 / 4,000

SQLite WAL2 (3x Database files)

67,000 / 52,000 / 8,000

Pocketbase (CURL)

15,000 / 2,300 / 234

Pocketbase (Direct)

62,000 / 29,000 / 3,900

ws4sqlite (CURL)

20,000 / 2,600 / 255
I have the same problem. One thing I thought about is "visual comparison of my graphs" in style of Tinder, left swipe / right swipe. Divide & conquer.

Slope, trend and others seem not to fulfill my needings, as my data sometimes is similar. I doing it with weighted average right now.

But eager for other solutions. Let's hope you'll get a professional answer to your question.

Can I ask you your thoughts about CYP21A2?

Been studying folks with only one working CYP21A2 due to the resulting atypical adrenal function and I noticed that their dna also contains all the genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's (some are beneficial in this case). Inquiring about the family tree of the single CYP21A2 I have yet to have someone tell me of an ancestor that died of Alzheimer's. But the family members with two good CYP21A2 (and all of the other typical Alzheimer's genetics) are the ones that end up with Alzheimer's. And for good measure, when someone has 3 CYP21A2 nearly always they will get Alzheimer's. (they also end up with Hypercortisolism).

Subclinical Hypercortisolism has a long association with Alzheimer's. A deficient CYP21A2 and the decreased incidences of Alzheimer's is not talked about other than the fact that it isn't associated with Subclinical Hypercortisolism, but Subclinical Hypocortisolism instead.

All of the known indirect early preventative measures for Alzheimer's result in shifting from Subclinical Hypercortisolism towards Subclinical Hypocortisolism.

This was not my intended area of study, but the pattern is interesting and curious for your thoughts.
For me, it's like the volume of my inner voice is decreased, and no sign of recovery after 2 years, though no significant cognitive function decline can be observed.
Well, as Paul Atreides himself explains in the sequel to Dune, his Fremen Jihad causes the death of over 60 billion people throughout the empire. You can safely guess that the vast majority of them are innocent ordinary people, but just not important enough to pause over on the path to grand prophetic dreams. Basically, from when he takes power again, he becomes a genocidal monster in charge of an army of murderous fanatics, and then he spreads this right across the empire, well beyond Arrakis itself where he already caused all kinds of chaos.

The story is a classic narrative of hoped-for ends being used to justify horrible actual means, but cloaked in space opera.
I think you're right

The danger is two fold

1. People don't eat fatty foods which have solid evidence for their benefits (e.g. Virgin olive oil)

2. People substitute the lack of fats with sugar, which I believe (not an expert) has a lot literature linking it with obesity
> I've never seen anyone who's obese and having a diet that made me go "huh that's odd how can they be obese?"

Your question isn't refuting OPs claim: the people you are observing to be fat are fat because of their carb/sugar intake, not fat.

i.e. if you just fed someone large amounts of protein and fat they would be lean; it is the sugar and carbs that make them fat.

The name collisions for opensource projects stopped mattering a long time ago
I have 32GB on my Linux laptop (plus 12GB swap) and regularly run out of RAM with just a handful of VSCode's open (it's generally the language servers using all the RAM) and a couple of dozen Firefox tabs (Firefox seems to be much worse than Chrome RAM-wise). If I run my actual work project, which needs a few gigs then it often just completely runs out of memory and hard reboots.

Never have the same problem on Windows even though I only have 16GB there. Feels like Linux is just really bad at memory management. That may be skewing the Steam survey since almost everyone there will be using Windows.

On Linux I wish I had 64GB.
> If it is possible to target 2% inflation and 3% inflation, then it is possible to target 0%

Look at the variance about 2%. Except now you risk depression. Which means when you get it a little wrong, you get people and companies defaulting on loans and mass lay-offs.

> if we anchored the unit of measurement to some commodity - which appears to have been standard practice for most of human history

The theory for why this is a bad idea was written in the 19th century and practice the 20th. Also, if you’re concerned about the rich getting richer, deflationary and anti-growth commodity money is the opposite of what you want.

Last year I caught COVID twice. Both times I felt sick, I tested myself daily, and I was negative every time I swabbed my nostrils and nasopharynx. Both times, I started swabbing any yellow mucus that I expelled, and received the positive result that I expected.
The founder who tries to do something boring and profitable ends up doing things like making another CRM or some kind of SaaS pipeline from one thing to another. These tend to be things that get built anyway by the people with more funding. There's so many CRMs built on top of vtiger open source, and these may be better than vtiger for a while, but in the long run they fall behind.

Paradoxically, avoiding risks makes people more likely to take the riskier options.
LEGO is indeed pretty expensive these times. Not every set is that bad, but the most cars are not only expensive, but not even the best sets on the market...

There is a lot of comparisons, but the most convincing one maybe the LEGO Ferarri (42125) vs. CADA Italian Super Car (C61042W) video[1] of "Held der Steine" (german youtube channel). The LEGO is "parts only" - the CADA is remote controlled with led lights near double the parts of the lego one for the same price.

Many of the newer manufacturers are 100% compatible and provide near double the part count for a similar set. Even if some of them are shameless rip-offs and illegal to have in some countries, most of them are smaller companies with great part quality, prints (no stickers) and innovative designs (see CaDA® C61503W AMG One).

There is also the world of Trains or Tractors, where LEGO tends to fail every time.

There are

- BlueBrixx
- Cobi
- fischertechnik
- Unico
- Mould King
- burgkidz
- Wange
- Sluban
- Q-Bricks

Just to provide you some alternatives :-)
