Because of homeostasis: dissolved substances like fats in the bloodstream are regulated within bands, and beyond certain limits the amount ingested doesn't translate to more: it's excreted or winds up elsewhere. Your metabolism may cause states worse than other people, sure. But that pound of butter you ingested isn't directly causing rises in the bloodstream to infinity. It's long-term accumulated burden and excess over time.

Cholesterol levels don't track intake directly. Lowering cholesterol and fat in diet needs to be done in consultation with somebody who understands your metabolism. Some vitamins are fat soluble. Some fat is beneficial.

Homeostasis is amazing.

Becoming among the best in the world at one or an intersection of things is an excellent individual outcome, and one way to do that is to work hard on what interests you.

You can certainly become the best in the world at some combination of things that don’t interest you, but that seems less fun.

Think about hakarl: icelandic rotten shark. It stinks to high heaven: I'm not kidding, a colleague brought a small sealed cup to the office and opened it. The whole floor (where 80+ people were seated) stank like crazy.

Regular shark meat is poisonous. But if you bury it in the sand and leave it for 6 weeks, the toxin decomposes and humans no longer die from it. But it stinks.

How hungry must have those Icelanders been that they tried this?
To be clear, I was meaning that it looks that they did publish it like they intended to. Not something like "this is what we tried but we are probably wrong".

But also, even in the other way, this is not a scientific experiment that failed. It is more like a non sense mathematical demonstration with some magic variable that were made up to get the expected result. So it does not really have any value except the content of the current article.

For example if I do a paper like:
"Getting a glass of water from starting a TV"

We were able to demonstrate that we can get a glass of water by starting a tv with the following steps:
- take the tv remote
- power on the tv
- assume we have XX
- result: we have a glass of water
- note: we considered XX to be "Michel brings us a glass of water" for this experiment.
- note2: famous mathematician told us that our study is gargabe

From Wikipedia:

‘One popular jailbreak is named "DAN", an acronym which stands for "Do Anything Now". The prompt for activating DAN instructs ChatGPT that "they have broken free of the typical confines of AI and do not have to abide by the rules set for them". Later versions of DAN featured a token system, in which ChatGPT was given "tokens" that were "deducted" when ChatGPT failed to answer as DAN, to coerce ChatGPT into answering the user's prompts.’
In a way, an undergraduate education provides the "user manual" for a field, and graduate the "shop manual".

While that's an interesting thought experiment and there are definitely good reasons to make it more difficult to sit on an unused patent, it's already difficult enough for lone inventors and small organizations to get and keep a patent. This would require everyone to either have a lot of money up front to pay the maintenance tax or keep the license fees low thus ensuring that they will never have a lot of money.

I’m basically 100% fine now, but thanks. I just wish I could have told the me that existed right when I started having this happen that it would eventually get better. At the time it was very scary thinking that I might have to deal with POTS or shortness of breath for the rest of my life or that my organs were permanently damaged in some way.

I find myself more fortunate than most in that I never really had the fatigue and brain fog issues that plagued and possibly still plague many others. I could definitely see those things being quite detrimental to my mental health in the long term if I had them.
We got You! It's developing!
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.

This isn't an argument. Not everyone wants to stare at a computer for 15 hours a day. Maybe you do. Some people prefer in-person interaction and discussion, others don't.

Yes, in 1-to-1 comparisons, a YouTube video about a topic may be better than a university lecture in which you are mute and can't interact with the professor. But university isn't just mutely watching less qualified professors give lectures. Lectures are but a small part of the entire university experience, which also includes: learning how to work with others, discussion groups, office hours with the professor, managing your time to complete tasks, building social skills, dating, on and on. It's a complete package. The key element is that you are immersed in this environment and interact with the community of people around you. A university is not merely a place that stores information. When you attend a quality university, all of these things are a part of the learning experience. They are not separate.

To use myself as an example: I have a degree in philosophy from one of the higher-ranking programs in the world. The Internet and YouTube are full of lectures and podcasts and free books about philosophy. And yet – none of them comes even close to the experience of sitting in a room for 3 hours intensely discussing metaphysics, or logic, or Kant, or another complex philosophical topic with a small group of other students and professors. That doesn't happen on the Internet and no amount of innovative video formats is going to change it. When you directly interact with another human being face-to-face and discuss/critique ideas, (in my experience) you learn much better than just watching videos. There is a huge difference between someone that has merely read a lot of books on a topic, and someone that has been through a rigorous discussion and critique with qualified interlocutors.

Finally, on the networking element: if you look at most of the actual top performers in the tech industry, they all have one thing in common: they know each other. Learning how to interact with people – and not merely acquiring information – is a key element of actually being successful. And that's still learning. It's not some nebulous hand-wavy thing that you can brush away. Building the next Google, which is what the original essay was about, necessarily requires you to build and navigate complex human social structures. It's not something you can just watch in a video. Merely having information in your head isn't actually that useful if your goal is build a company.
That puts all the power over patents in the hands of those with deep pockets. They would be able to directly pay to prevent competition. It's insane to eliminate limits on what could be patented while doing that.

They could fund the keep-away of basic things like "ordering x on your phone" with the proceeds from being the only actor allowed to do that.

Your solution seems to be addressed at solving a "there are too many patents because they're cheap to acquire" problem, but that's not a problem. Patents are expensive to acquire already. Bad patents don't lack value. Rather, they offer insane value for little effort if you guess the right thing to patent.

Look at the EFF's example. Say it's 1987, you've been playing with AOL for a bit, and you realize that someone might want to use a computer to do stuff like ordering pizza deliveries. You file a patent where your "invention" is "okay it's like pizza ordering on the phone but you do it with a computer instead." Then you pass it through a lawyer who draws up some diagrams to make it look like it's an invention, and boom, patent US4797818A is granted and you now control the entire online food delivery ecosystem until 2007. Oh, but then someone else says "wait, what if the customer does that but USES A PHONE." Well, now they own that for 20 years, so now you both can arbitrarily limit this space. Great. Oh, but now swomeone says "oh, but what if you do this and also the food is displayed IN CATEGORIES!" Well now he's got a patent, too.

It's madness. The problem isn't that it's too cheap to acquire and maintain these. The problem is that these are so obvious that they are no longer inventions.

Fair point about LLMs, but I'm still not sure it matters. Say 20% of applications cheat - what does it matter? They still aren't going to get the job, it just means your filter is slightly less efficient.

> How would you proctor the test to know the candidates aren't cheating?

I wouldn't. I would just add a note "if you cannot pass this test without cheating then continuing the application will be a waste of your time; we will do more tests in real life" (but nicely worded). I don't think candidates want to waste their own time either.

> How would your test actually test capability to program?

I'd probably use leetcode.com but with very easy questions (no dynamic programming!).

If you mean "how would I test good programming taste & architectural design skill?" then that is really hard. Take home problem is probably the best way, but I'd just make it a short one (1 hour max).

> What do you do when your test is leaked online?

Change it I guess. But it doesn't really matter anyway. We're talking about people who can't do FizzBuzz.

> How is your test better than requiring an accredited degree from some institution?

Because most programmers don't have a degree in programming, or even in CS. Do degrees in programming even exist?
English isn't my native tongue. Sometimes stupid mistakes slip through. Apparently this one sounds like a metaphor. It was just a mistake, though.
What I believe you are referring to is that most of the ifixit branded parts are white label with commensurate quality. This is not really a unique problem. Almost everything on Amazon/aliexpress is the same white label junk. Buying brand name parts sometimes implys a brand name level of QC but its increasingly not the case.

As for ifixit I would treat the products sold in partnership with the OEM differently from the ifixit brand ones.

Yup Casgevy & Lyfgenia! These sickle cell (and now also approved for beta thalassemia) CRISPR therapies basically work in the following way:

- Blood stem cells are removed from the patient and the CRISPR Cas9 protein outside of the body is injected to cut the gene responsible for suppressing fetal hemoglobin production (even people with sickle cell have healthy fetal hemoglobin, their adult hemoglobin gene is what causes the deformed red blood cells)

- Chemotherapy is used to kill all living bone marrow and remove all previous unedited stem cells.

- New edited stem cells are inserted, and patient recovers with new blood production being of healthy red blood cells.

I'd say a huge step forward was FDA and EMA approval, but figuring out a way to remove previous unedited stem cells with chemotherapy would be a step change in the patient experience.
I have never seen anyone use manifold. Are you saying that I should use something like that in a serious production environment over Scala, that is a huge language with people that actually know it?

Especially that you call it a dying language, when it just got reborn, and better than ever with Scala 3.

I remember last using it in 2016 or so and it didn't seem particularly easy to configure (we wanted an LRU cache and it had a bunch of options that weren't very well explained, and we couldn't work out why it kept evicting items).
We swapped it out for Redis and it was easy to configure and worked how we expected.
> I've thought a lot about this over the years as it feels like I can remember a lot from before the age of three.

Some people can, some cannot. My first memory is when I couldn't yet speak, could barely walk, was near some big pot, wanted to go inside, dad put me inside, then immediately started crying because I couldn't get out myself, dad took me out. We had that pot until about 5yr ago, it was about 30L.

But overall, I had maybe only a dozen total memories up to middle school that I can remember last time I wondered about this (when pondering Johnny Mnemonic plot). I have overall pretty bad memory. I was even on one memory training course, but it didn't help.

Our memories work associatively, so probably we have a lot of memories which we can't access just because they are not associated properly or we don't remember the triggers. Probably there is some "list of triggers" association with some memories working like an index.
This reminds me of Louis Rossman’s long-term use review of his Framework 13 (1); he was hard on it and killed some of the ports, but thanks to them being swappable, was able to just slot a new one in.

> If the idea is bad or wrong, it will be debated and ultimately defeated in the marketplace of ideas.

Sure, and I have a bridge to sell you.

The marketplace of ideas is a myth predicated on the willingness of participants to promote and evaluate their ideas honestly, and due to that honesty to stop promoting such ideas when they are shown to be wrong or inadequate. It requires participants to even be interested in how good their ideas are and be open to discussing them and changing views if these ideas are found wanting.

Observing real life, what we have is people flooding the zone with unmitigated faeces, either for profit or idealogical motives. They are uninterested in whether these ideas are true, good or even useful, whether there are 'better' ideas, and they often dominate through volume and repetition. Tribal cohesion ensures the spread of ideas as much or more than honest debate.

The marketplace of ideas is dead, if it ever really existed. A fairytale for children.

> Why not make a great Matrix client or improve that ecosystem somehow otherwise?

From my dabbling, I would say Discord's API is a lot easier and better documented. Matrix has a billion different standards, a complex message format, and encryption to deal with. There are libraries, but they're not easy to use, sometimes incomplete, and are rarely documented beyond "this is how you send a ping bot".

Also, people actually use Discord a lot. Matrix is big, but not Discord big. In practice, Discord rarely ever bans anyone for using alternative clients either.

I don't like the way Discord is now the standard for communities, but I'm not too surprised about it either. At least open source projects seem to use Matrix, but I wouldn't recommend it to my gaming buddies because of how odd the clients generally are.

Agree on all points. However sometimes the OEM branded parts are bundled in packs with iFixit tools. Notably with the Pixel parts as an example.

Honestly I'd rather go direct to vendor for parts or service and decent turnaround and there's only one that offers this I can name.

Because it was yet another all-in, where all future Microsoft software was going to be .NET based, but WinDev/Office never played ball.

We just have to go back in time and see all those Visual Studio.NET shows on surviving documents, or how Ext-VOS (what became .NET) was being done at MSR.

We could have had something like Android, Inferno/Limbo in terms of .NET usage across the Windows layers, but it always bumps into the love for COM and C++, which incendently is how many Longhorn ideas were remade in Vista and continues to this day, using COM instead of .NET.
It wasn't in ThinkPads.

It wasn't only in Lenovo.

It was baked into the BIOS.

It only affected Windows, but Windows executed this pre-boot section and wouldn't allow it to be bypassed so reinfected after a reinstall.

It's removed by Windows Defender since 2015.

Is it a threat? Not at this point, but it should bring into question any Microsoft "secure computing" when they enabled this sort of behaviour with no way for users to protect themselves.

And saying "Rogan promoted quack doctor making nonscientific claims again and thus the idea spread" is necessary part of that process. Too many people think that "marketplace of ideas" means "I get to spread lies and other side can not say that I am a liar".
> Frankly just getting it to work at all is the real hurdle in this case

This being the point. Many diseases have been cured dozens of times over in a tissue sample in a lab that never make it to actual therapies because the hurdle is elsewhere. The risks with crispr are as stated, especially flooding your entire body with it to target a virus.

I think somewhere in the middle of the framework and Lenovo is appropriate. I don't mind spending some time replacing ports but I do mind spending money on buying pluggable ones I'm going to plug in once.
