> Shorter periods of exposure to space radiation and microgravity could help mitigate its effects on the human body.

Of course once astronauts are on mars they will still be exposed to radiation, until some sort of shielding can be built.

Which would be an obscene undertaking, and involves moving lots of raw and refined materials to mars.

Which means hopefully the price of this rocket to get stuff off of earth is dirt cheap, because moving squishy humans to Mars, no matter the speed, is not the limiting factor! (Getting humans to Mars and keeping them alive there is!)

Wealth is hard to come by, but income is much more available.

Some countries have publicly available data on individual income filings.
The US provides anonymized data, but scienentist have done a lot of fancy tricks to make the family connections clear.

Raj Chetty among others have done a lot of work on US social mobility[1]. They were able to trend parent/child incomes in the US going back to 1940, and have tons of great insights.

I dont remember all of the findings off the top of my head, but one was that relative social mobility (%s) for the US have been constant over time. Another was that economic mobility out of the bottom classes is dominated by poor immigrants. It is unclear if it is genetic, personality, or culture, but children of poor immigrants out perform native born poor by an enormous factor (2-3X better IIRC)

This post could have used a pass through an editor’s desk. It’s hard to understand what your value proposition is.

Reading this, I learned that your product was inspired by some other YC product I don’t know; that it’s completely designed by engineers and that you’re proud not to employ designers; that you value bugs; that you made
some mistakes but still had fun at some point, and many other things. But it’s hard to connect the dots here.
My wife and I are selecting which embryos to implant because we have a related condition (this one is a mutation in OTOF, we have one in GJB-2). Being able to implant the embryos affected with this condition (carrying two copies of the gene - mine and my wife) would increase the number of viable embryos we have by 50%.

It won't be in time for us to actually implement unless we're down to our last few embryos through failure. We were able to detect ours because we used Orchid Health to scan the embryo genome for monogenic conditions. But it's exciting to think that novel gene therapies might be accessible if we somehow fail to implant with the other embryos we have.

All this stuff is very futuristic and it's definitely rescued us since my wife and I started dating and got married within the last year, by which time we were quite old.

Very cool stuff from Regeneron.

EDIT: I actually looked this up and got a reading list which I went through over lunch. There's quite a lot of work on this front.

But that's what's confusing to me I come from a country where a dictator might kill a few thousand just on a whim and shut off the internet so it's confusing why the NSA which in my head is still governed by democratic principles and is not at the whim of a single psychopath can collect data on everyone but it can't be used in court?

Of course they can and are welcome to, but even though I agree with many things any variations of the past German governments have brought into law it doesn't mean I have to agree on all of them.

> those people realized they're able to coordinate better when they have synced clocks, which made new things possible

The development of clocks is related to industrialization and opening of plants that need all the workers to be there at e.g. 8 am for the shift to start. If you have to be at the factory at 8 am you'd better know what time it is. It's not that the development of clocks has brought us factories; rather, the development of factories has brought us clocks.

Have you tried traveling long distances by both approaches? I have. By train is so much nicer.

Some years back I took the train from San Diego to Santa Fe. First class from San Diego included a glass of wine. On the sleeper from L.A. to Albuquerque I had both a private bed and dining service. Try that in a bus.

I rode RTP to Philadelphia by Amtrak, and Atlanta to Tallahassee by bus. The train has more legroom, better toilets, no need for seat belts, and I could get up to stretch.

For those who get motion sick, a train is much better than a bus.

Intercity bus terminals are increasingly being replaced by roadside stops, making them significantly harder to use. ("The closure of central locations is fueled by high operating costs, government underfunding and a hedge fund buying up and reselling Greyhound's real estate." - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/greyhound-bus-network-in-c... ).

Train stations are much harder to move, or get sold off by hedge funds.
You misunderstand my point. It's not about which constitution takes priority (the answer here is actually very simple: for federal laws, only federal constitution applies; for state laws, the state constitution additionally applies).

The point is that the original US Constitution, as well as the Bill of Rights, was worked on and ratified by the same people who worked on their states' constitutions at that time, and you can, in general, see very clear parallels between state and federal constitutions when it comes to rights. So, given that at least some state constitutions from that same period explicitly spell out individual right to keep and bear arms, I find it dubious that it was not one of the considerations when they adopted the same right on the federal level. The fact that the verbiage of 2A cites militia as a justification implies that this is the one they thought most important, but not that there weren't any others; and, of course, the verbiage doesn't actually condition RKBA on militia membership in plain reading.

There are also letters and other discussions from that time that, on the whole, make it fairly clear that militia was understood as including everyone (and not just those states might choose to designate as such), and that the right was thus really meant to be universal.

If your primary use case is local AI on battery, you're probably into some small hundredths of a percent of the population here, who would be better served on some budget cloud compute (self deployed even) rather than heating up your lap.

Because it fits between the pages of the book in your backpack, has a nice pencil, and can *also* do ok with local AI.
Nah we'd probably be fine paying temporal cloud to host the control plane. Their billing is a little weird; I know quite a bit about temporal-the-technology, and the pricing page is literally the first time I've ever seen the word "action" used. I'm familiar with workflows, activities, sinks, codecs, events, but not actions; so when they bill $N/million actions I have no idea what that means, and its surprising to me that that's how they bill it. But I'm sure there's an answer somewhere.

Temporal Cloud is really, really new. Like, it was in some kind of closed beta for a while, with a "contact us" form, as recently as a couple months ago? So, the main reason we don't use it is because it simply wasn't available. It looks like its more widely available now though.

> although Blade Runner wasn't a high budget movie

It was a big budget movie. It had a $30m budget (which would be $100m today), which was enormous by that day's standards, making it the second most expensive movie released in 1982, after Annie (!). Meanwhile, E.T. only had a budget of $10m.
And go is wrong for doing that, at least on Linux. It bypasses optimizations in the vDSO in some cases. On Fuchsia, we made direct syscalls not through the vDSO illegal and it was funny the hacks to go that required. The system ABI of Linux really isn't the syscall interface, its the system libc. That's because the C ABI (and the behaviors of the triple it was compiled for) and its isms for that platform are the linga franca of that system. Going around that to call syscalls directly, at least for the 90% of useful syscalls on the system that are wrapped by libc, is asinine and creates odd bugs, makes crash reporters heuristical unwinders, debuggers, etc all more painful to write. It also prevents the system vendor from implementing user mode optimizations that avoid mode and context switches when necessary. We tried to solve these issues in Fuchsia, but for Linux, Darwin, and hell, even Windows, if you are making direct syscalls and it's not for something really special and bespoke, you are just flat-out wrong.

There was one scenario like this I came up with when brainstorming copyright issues. In the past, articles I read said you could have a backup copy of a copyrighted work that stayed with you. Moving one in a different direction than the other might be a violation since it could be distribution of copies. But, we might be able to make one, digital copy of a physical work for our own use. How to use that?

Problem statement for poor person’s pre training: Where to get lots of data for use if they aren’t providing it as data sets and we can’t share them? And for multimodal models? And less risk in copyright?

The idea was to buy lots of encyclopedia sets, school curriculums, picture books… used media at low prices (esp bin sales) full of information. Digitize them with book scanners. Keep the digital copies and throw away the physical copies. Now, you have a huge, training set of legal data acquired dirt cheap with preprocessing allowing cheaper labor.

From there, use the copies in places like Japan where it’s legal to use them for AI training so long as one has legal access. This also incentivizes the owner to pre-train the model themselves so there no distribution of original works. Also, I envisioned people partly training models with their data, handing the weights off to another company, they add theirs to it, and so on. Daisy chain the process with only the models, not the copyrighted works, distributed. My copyright amendment added preprocessing and copying for just this purpose to avoid these ridiculous hacks.

To be clear, I wouldn’t do this without consulting several lawyers on what was clear. I’d rather not be destroying books and filling landfills. It is pure speculation I made due to how overly-strong copyright is in my country. It assumes we can use copyrighted works (a) for personal use and (b) with a physical to digital conversion. If not, I also thought those would be easier rights to fight for, too.

However, legal hacks like scanning used works to be trained in other countries might be all we have if legal systems don’t adapt to what society is currently doing with copyrighted works. I mean in a way that’s fair to all sides rather than benefiting only one. I’m up for compromise. Pro-copyright side usually hasn’t been, though.

That's possible in circuit switched networking with various types of supervision, but packet switched networking has taken over because it's much less expensive to implement.

Attempts to add connection monitoring usually make things worse --- if you need to reroute a cable, and one or both ends of the cable will detect a cable disconnection and close user sockets, that's not great, now you do a quick change with a small period of data loss but otherwise minor interruption; all of the established connections will be dropped.

Fair enough, my point is mostly that even though it is great we have evidence it's great, but without context of a professional insight it can be terrible. Alot of those studies are the same situation, it is great in their context, terrible outside of it only doctors and most of the time specialist will be able to tell.

Then that information is structured for a layman, like imagine brand-new devs walking into a bootcamp thinking Elixir is safe main language to learn based on YC hype. As good as it is, it doesn't have a big job market, has specialized use cases, and has the same dev environment/knowledge base of node/js in the late 2000's early 2010's.

You could argue that we need to install more water fountains around so that one doesn't need to use bottled drinks for this.
