In any case, there is no denying the fact that cryptocurrencies are the future, all those who invested in bitcoin at the time are now at their peak, so now it is necessary to find such niches, areas that in the future will become the same as bitcoin initially, which has soared to a very serious level. For example, it seems to me that the topic of Meta Verse is one of the most promising at the moment, now I am reading an article from the founder of https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/1204819 SEC Meta Force, there is an update, it seems to me that this is a really good digital decentralized platform for business, which is based on the concept of freedom in absolutely everything. All in all, it seems to me that this kind of Meta Verse is the future, what do you think?)

A weekend project is probably fine -- I wrote a Passkey-based SAML IdP in a weekend (re-using the SAML IdP from a different project). It's written in Tcl.

The hardest part of dealing with the Passkeys was remembering to read the whole specification before implementing it -- I spent a lot of time parsing their CBOR/COSE-based specification so that I could get the public key before "discovering" that there was a method for that defined by the specification.
The route linked here is the least impressive page of the site. It's very empty, the text "Click the button above to get started" is a bit vague, because the New button is not directly above it. Make it more idiot proof for a visitor to check out the edit mode IMO and make it clearer that you can actually edit the page live.

The link here: https://demo.gocodestudio.com/studio/, was pretty cool, I tried editing the text, copy pasting the underline animation, and editing the code behind one of the components. I agree that we can make coding web pages a lot more intuitive while still maintaining flexibility.

The code box that pops up in the editor is a bit buggy. Backspacing to replace some of the styles, it wasn't always clear where the cursor really was.

I think instead of just the pure css styles, maybe have a mode where people can adjust the styles via natural language. Yes, how typical to have an LLM angle to it. But CSS is a PITA to learn and remember for a lot of people, I think natural language could help here. Maybe if I say 'update font size' for the paragraph component, a popup can open showing the font sizes in the theme, and offer previews at different responsive breakpoints. I like what you have but I guess it needs to be cleaned up a bit, and perhaps pushed farther in some areas before I would abandon my old IDE.
I was blown away at just how little exercise is required to significantly increase your lifespan: 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week. That's it.

The Copenhagen City Heart Study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 2018 found that light jogging for 20 minutes a day, 3x a week reduces all-cause mortality by 78%.

That's insane.

This sounds ridiculous until you go to Amsterdam see that few wear helmets there. And everyone is cycling.

They might be more inclined to cycle because they don’t need to wear a helmet.

After years of cycling with helmet you get so used to it and it doesn’t bother you. But how many skip the bike because they never got used to wearing a helmet?
Clever question, but a boring answer - the learning resource I was using simply said so (in fact, several did!). It seems common for learning resources to somewhat apologetically explain that Common Lisp has many functions with similar names but subtly different behaviours (e.g. (=) v (eq) v (eql) v (equal) v (equalp) v (string-equal)), before telling you which ones are in vogue.

Worse case because they actual filter with two mechanisms, one physical that works for large particles (think stuff getting caught in a fishing net) and another that’s electrostatic that works better for ultra fine stuff. 0.3 is the crossover where the combination is minimally effective.

It really did not.

The blog described insufficiency of the prior detection method, and statistics of the rate of cheating. It did not address the point that the game, by inherited design (of the genre), already places a ceiling on the effectiveness of automated actions.

What's particularly irksome about the blog, besides the gratuitous language throughout, are expedient omissions of context in statements such as:

> When piloted optimally, scripter win rates hover around 80% in Ranked games

without contextualizing what elo it's measured at or how it compares to a smurf which you'd also expect to have an anomalous winrate before reaching their equilibrium elo. This is then immediately followed by the discussion of the cheating statistics for above-Masters tier, misleading the uncareful reader to draw the conclusion that cheaters can manage 80% winrate in Masters+.

One might be inclined to dismiss this as carelessness in writing, however these kinds of patterns are common throughout Riot's various "technical blogs", especially those posts on valorant's initial release that claimed some earthshattering netcode innovation, then described various bog-standard multiplayer practices without further elaboration, implicitly passing them off as their own invention without actually claiming so.

I'd suggest others here to also spot these patterns for themselves by taking a read at some of these other riot blogposts masquerading as technical deep dives that really are self-promotion aimed to beguile "gamers".

Which means that the radius of curvature of the "seams" of the spline is the same for both curves in the common point - the spline is "smoother", there is no jump in the curvature. Like C1 means, that each point (except for start and end) of the spline has a tangent (the samé tangent from the left and the right side), no spikes.
And C3 is about the torsion of (3D, as in "not contained in a plane") curves.

The article is about how morbidity and mortality relate to cardiovascular fitness. The fact that waist to hip ratio also is related to morbidity and mortality is a bit irrelevant in that specific context. One can imagine a person who vigorously rows every morning for 45 minutes and has a high cardiovascular fitness, but who also has a very poor diet and is thus fat.
There's real data out there that while a helmet has better survival rates than not; but cars give more room to bicycles without helmets, so the incident rate is lower.

That's not going to be how things are likely to work. The financial industry censors disreputable sites because, effectively, disreputable sites are too expensive to support (e.g., high chargeback rates). The big social media sites today aren't going to "gee, golly, we have to completely abandon moderation to deal with liability now"; no, they're going to ramp up their moderation hard, because reputational risk is still a thing (also, they still have liabilities in countries that aren't the US that they are going to be very concerned about!).

And when you have sites like Youtube that retain a strict moderation policy, there is going to be absolutely 0 incentive for them to cave to whatever new niche sites crop up that try to play the "we can't enact moderation" card, exactly as happens today.

Those are the easiest tests to write, and probably pretty unlikely to find anything unless the feature you're adding is exposed via SQL pretty directly.

I was thinking more like lots of concurrent operations, and backups/restores (again concurrent with other DB traffic), and replication, and incremental operations, and failover, and error handling in general. All while varying things that feed into scheduling, etc. Anything nondeterministic is good, though that's not all of it. (Annoyingly, that means that failures will quite often be intermittent, which is a whole can of worms of its own.)

> Thy are binary vectors with 768 dimensions, which takes up 96 bytes (768 / 8 = 96).

I guess I’m confused. This is honestly the problem that most vector storage faces (“curse of dimensionality”) let alone the indexing.

I assume that you meant 768 dimensions * 8 bytes (for a f64) which is 6144 bytes. Usually, these get shrunk with some (hopefully minor) loss, so like a f32 or f16 (or smaller!).

If you can post how you fit 768 dimensions in 96 bytes, even with compression or trie-equivalent amortization, or whatever… I’d love to hear more about that for another post.

Ninja edit: Unless you’re treating each dimension as one-bit? But then I still have questions around retrieval quality

> What about the stock market are you darkly hinting at?

> I'm not sure what you are talking about. Could you be more explicit, please?

Sure thing. The current organization of capitalist society rewards actions that increase profit short-term, such as stock buybacks at the expense of layoffs, and not actions that increase profit long-term, such as sustaining a labor force that maintains and builds upon institutional knowledge. Institutions "get away with this" by leveraging the coercive nature of capitalist society (work, often in bad conditions, or die), but because the coercive short term actions are the ones that are rewarded, this will probably lead to total systemic collapse, like when the British pushed the American colonies too far and completely lost control and their entire colonial investment... and again in India, some Caribbean islands, etc. Not to mention all the slave revolts throughout history. Extractive, compulsory, coercive capitalism is only ever a short-term gains focused mechanism.

The greater example for our era though is climate change. There simply aren't "market forces" that can punish extractive behavior and reward sustainable behavior. Because it's cheaper to mine and burn coal in the short term than it is to do material science research and build good solar panels, the coal burning companies win out. Under capitalism, where political power correlates to capital, this means they can leverage the State to give them even greater incentives, and throttle the last remaining channel for long-term good-for-humanity projects that might not necessarily be profitable anytime soon: government sponsored research. See: exxon promoting climate misinformation despite being totally aware of climate change in the 70s: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-...

Under capitalism, long term gain requires high short term capital investment, which of course comes with risk, and the risk is too great to invest in sustainable technologies when you can keep burning oil. The collapse will come with environmental collapse, or, even if we invent incredible carbon-sequestering technologies, when the oil and coal simply run out. That won't matter though, because the political power of coal-burners will have become so great that they can just leverage the State and its monopoly on violence to continue to serve their needs as they see fit.

So TLDR capitalism rewards things that are bad for the earth and the people trying to live on it.

If anyone wants a shortcut to an extremely good workout, look into rowing (MAKE SURE you learn proper form!).

I focus on "maxing out" sets of 500m since it correlates well to basketball cardio, and I have infinite cardio even in my mid 30's.
Probably a cooper test -- run as far as you can in 12 mins. Then there is a formula to convert that distance to vo2 max.
Yup, for all the risks that people focus on (microplastics, pesticide residues, etc), they don't do the easiest thing to ensure health - exercise.
The highest impact diagnostic of all cause mortality is a scale. The next best is a mirror.

As an Android developer and someone who has studied the ASOP internals, I don’t see what the big deal is. If I were going to build custom hardware that has a custom ui then it makes complete sense to start with the open source version of Android. Google has spent billions inventing that wheel and you can use it for free. It has everything you need (except realtime). The natural way to build ui apps in Android is to make an apk. Doing anything else would be weirdly unnecessary.

This is very true. Long ago I started biking to work, and biking really hard - basically making the best time I could.

The first few weeks, at the end of a 10 minute sprint, my heart would be racing and I would be out of breath for 5 minutes after arrival.

I was amazed after 2 months of doing the same thing I wasn't out of breath, it took maybe 1 minute for my heart rate to slow back down.

My first Linux desktop in 1995 was Slackware Linux installed off a cd-rom inside the pages of The Linux Bible. I ran Blackbox window manager and loved every minute of it.

I became a strident anti-windows Linux propagandist, and spent untold hours configuring and compiling everything.

Many years later I recall being in a room with 3 other devs who sat down and got to work while I spent 30 minutes getting my wifi recompiled to support whatever the AP was using that I’d never seen before. The guys paying my hourly rate glared at me over their MacBooks.

A year later at another contract they put an old MacBook in front of me, and by the end of the day I had ordered my own personal one too and never looked back. Everything just worked. I had been trying to do music production on my own in Linux too. Switched to Mac and instantly my results massively improved.

A year ago I built my first gaming rig in a long long time and gave Linux on the desktop another shot. I tried valiantly. I’ve been a hacker and professional programmer for 25 years. I just couldn’t deal with all the brokenness. I paid for windows and enjoyed using the applications I was there for.

Linux is amazing, has dominated the world, and I use it every day all day in my work. I just won’t waste my time on desktop until I try again in 10 years.
On one hand, I’m quite sure South Korea’s government has put a whole lot more thought into this than we have, and they decided to obfuscate the maps so… who knows, I guess they decided it helps.

On the other hand, given that NK is using, what, WW2 vintage artillery, I can’t see how. They are probably aiming “south” with magnitude “lots,” right? What good is a 500 meter offset, or whatever, going to do when they are just aiming at the city in general.
