Nothing of the sort was glossed over, I'm not sure how you failed to read so spectacularly. Quotes from the article:

> Formoterol is a medication I take for asthma. I have been taking it for years well below the anti-doping threshold

> I refused the use of a nebuliser for asthma when I was so unwell I couldn’t walk upstairs because I knew I would need to apply for a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption).

It sounds like you skimmed over the part above at least, but misread it to mean the opposite

> My sample tested positive for 2.9ng/ml of formoterol. Formoterol is a medication I take as part of an inhaler called Symbicort. I have been taking this medication since summer 2020. It is listed by WADA as a threshold substance, meaning that it is allowed to be present in urine up to a concentration of 40ng/ml on the basis that it was likely the result of permitted therapeutic use.

> Although the WADA rules state that formoterol is allowed up to 40ng/ml [30], the problem is that the WADA rules also state in conjunction with a diuretic that ANY LEVEL of formoterol is considered an AAF [31].

And for extra credit, if you were to do one web search (or citation check) worth of "research" you can corroborate the last bit with info direct from WADA:

> Inhaled formoterol is permitted to a maximum delivered dose of 54 micrograms over
24 hours. The presence in urine of formoterol in excess of 40 ng/mL is presumed not
to be a therapeutic use of the substance and will be considered as an Adverse
Analytical Finding unless the Athlete proves, through a controlled pharmacokinetic
study, that the abnormal result was the consequence of the use of no greater than 54
micrograms delivered over 24 hours. If a dosage in excess of 54 micrograms over 24
hours is required by the athlete, then a TUE must be requested

Whatever benefits you think you're feeling when you're consuming alcohol, are actually the baseline if you live a non-alcoholic life. It makes itself relevant by making you feel worse the rest of the time, until you consume it. When you give it up and after a few months when your liver has healed, the buzz/happiness you felt while consuming alcohol becomes your normal again. You don't need it, and you never did. It's a poison of the mind and the body.
Fun read.
A friend has a few airplanes and said they cost about $30k-50k to overhaul the engines every 2,000 to 3,000 flight hours. The FAA considers it a minor repair.

A car can go 200k-500k+ miles and the engine rebuild is about $3k-$5k or $1000 in parts and DIY.
JSONSchema is good for this IME. It can model 99.9% of usual models, supports generation & validation for most major languages. It's also part of OpenAPI, useful if you expand your modelling to REST APIs.

Linux's cpulimit also does that.

And what if something is harmful yet enhances your performance? Do we ban and test for that?
Yeah, but that was the case in the western world until the 1900s. I doubt someone would describe France in the late 1800s in the same way though (and they didn’t get the right to vote until 1944).
Makes sense. I guess for any given refactoring, the advantage of doing it sooner is that you get residual recurring benefits sooner. And the advantage of doing it later is you have more information about the requirements of your application and the "correct" way to do the refactor (or even if that code is going to be a long-lasting part of the app, cc Lindy effect). So whenever you touch any given piece of code which could use a refactor, you could try to figure out which advantage is more important right now.

Of course, if the total effort of doing the refactor plus building the feature on top of the refactor is less than building the feature on top of the debt, you should always do the refactor first. That's pretty much a no-brainer.

Another idea I've thought about is informally keeping track of possible refactors, maybe give them an informal prioritization, and taking a glance at your list before each task. Maybe there's some value in letting a refactor stew in your brain a little bit before actually putting it in to action. And continually maintaining a rough refactoring plan could help prevent your codebase from entering a state where it's actually unrecoverable.
I have been playing civ since civ2 and have been a major fan. However, i have to say that the concept has change very little and much of the focus has been on making new and improved graphics than actually enriching the game.

My hope for Civ7 is that the advent of AI would bring about an overhaul to the whole diplomacy part. The ability to actually chat and negotiate in free language with AI players, would give a huge boost to the game IMHO
Mach as deployed at NeXT was also never a microkernel, and combined the BSD 4.2 kernel. I believe this is also effectively what OSF/1 did with the OSF variant of Mach.

Mach has basically always supported that kind of use, even back to early CMU research versions.
Yep, but you can use Fennec from FDroid.
Thanks, there went my morning. That was quite the rabbit hole. I’m now confused and sad.
> What’s wrong with being excited and working hard towards something?

Ahh, the old "how can cryptocurrency be harmful if people like buying it?" argument.

There are many realistic and amenable goals in life, like mapping the human genome or writing an Open Source microkernel. Declaring that you intend to surpass human intelligence via a statistical text generator is not one of those things. It does not have precedent, it does not have feasibility studies, it does not seemingly indicate in any way shape or form that it is possible. Nobody can even spell-out the intermediate steps to get us to AGI; every single "novel" solution involves scaling up our current, broken, concepts. It's ELIZA versus the Lisp pundits all over again.

Excitement and hard work go a long ways, but you won't know which way until you apply a little logic. The current "AGI" trend is practically non-existent outside the venture-capital sphere and OpenAI employees, both of whom would be bullish on AGI anyways since it's good for business. Once you discard the biased opinions, you're left with legitimately confused investors and nonsense opinions propagated by conspiracy theorists. Much like crypto, the concept of "AGI" is being used to confuse and exploit people who misunderstand technology and finance.

> Also, what specific safety problems do you think need to be solved?

I think you misread their comment. They said "safely incorporated", which is not a specific safety problem for AI but a holistic consideration that stops your product from sucking. Your computer vision model could be statistically perfect, but absolutely useless for self-driving tasks and multimodal robotic agents. It's not taste that separates these good implementations from the bad ones, it's logic. You have to be considerate when implementing AI in traditional systems, because inherently AI can be wrong and you must have a failure-mode for those situations.

Many people reject this idea, because it precludes the idea that someone could sell a cure-all to today's AI ills. But real AI safety cannot be baked-in to a model. It only exists when genuinely thoughtful humans anticipate every single fail-state; if that sounds like hard work, it's because it is. And nobody, nobody, sells it as "AGI".
And to be fair, that's how a Bluetooth mouse should work.
Me myself maybe the only one here who used Roman Roads for effective travel. I bicycled from Finland to Yugoslavia in 1971. Roads were often just mud for tanks and lorries. But sometimes I found small roads with flat stones. Especially I remember the road between Ljubjana and Udine. There was quite wide road sections in the middle of nowhere completely paved with stones. This was the Main Roman Highway between EMONA and AQUILEIA says the map (https://imperium.ahlfeldt.se/index.php?id=10717). I truly wondered who the hell has built this road, because I did not know shit about any Romans.

Not a fan of e/acc but seems like you’re just labeling rather than adding anything important to the conversation, ironic because you seem to stress the importance of calmer and cautious heads.

> Why haven't banks stepped in and offered something here?

Real banks won't do business with unregulated/unlicensed entities. That is why "fintech" is all built on top of random banks you've never heard of.

There are plenty of wealth management companies, family office management platforms, etc. that have proper licensing that get extensive access to advanced banking APIs at the "household name" banks.

Yes. And Mendelian randomization studies are a relatively new invention, as these things go. They're the reason for the "flip flop".
Until well into the Imperial period women didn’t even technically have their own names. They based all called Julia, Claudia, Cornelia etc. which was just the female version of their father gens. If you had 3 sisters sisters you’d just be Claudia IV..

So basically it’s pretty easy to come up with an unlimited number of Roman women if you just know a few Roman family names. Of course for boys it was only marginally better since each family just reused 3-4 first names (and eventually just started using numbers instead of names as well..)
Seems like the idea of Agentic Rag (https://zzbbyy.substack.com/p/agentic-rag).

I have created a very bare bones implementation as an example at https://github.com/zby/LLMEasyTools/tree/main/examples/agent... (it uses whoosh for indexing) and I am working on a more complete one at https://github.com/zby/answerbot.
At least more of that access is logged now. It used to be only the production databases that were properly logged, now it’s more common for every query to be logged, even in dev environments. The next step will be more monitoring of those logs.
I’m wondering what are the security mechanisms for this. What happens if your dog chews on the brick while the phone is blocked? Is there a “manual entry code” option in the app?

The contribution of SREC to the income ROI calculation is high. That aside, with load shifting into peak production time and some judicious non battery time shifting (hot water) it's possible to reduce billable kW consumption.

In oz what's happened is the SREC equivalent is now much lower and the unavoidable network and systems costs to the energy supply company went up. It's still worth having, and if you can afford the capex then arbitrage of battery can earn higher marginal return quite aside from extending your non consumption window significantly.

V2G will be huge.
No. You get hard easier and it takes longer to go down, but without (mental) stimulation, there is no erection. (for the vast majority of people taking sane dosages)
It's not even obvious to me that repeated shuffles of this form

• Given a deck of 52 cards (C1, C2, ... C52) pick some k near 26 and split the deck into two piles, (C1, C2, ..., Ck) and (Ck+1, ..., C52). Call these piles P1 and P2,

• Make a new empty pile, and then repeatedly take cards from the front of P1 or P2 and append those cards to the new pile. Cards from the same source pile should be in the same relative order in the new pile. Continue until all the cards are in the new pile,

• When taking cards from P1 or P2 to append to the new pile, take about the same number each time,

are capable of resulting in all possible 52! permutations. That kind of shuffle preserves a lot of order so I wondered if there might be some order that it cannot remove.

It turns out that you can in fact reach all permutations. I don't know of any elegant way to prove this though. I have an ugly way to do so.

Let R be a perfect out riffle shuffle, where the deck is split exactly in half (k = 26), and cards are merged by pulling one at a time from alternate piles starting with P1. In other words the deck after one shuffle is (C1, C26, C2, C27, ..., C26, C52).

Let S(n) be a shuffle just like R with one exception: when the cards that would end up at positions n and n+1 from the bottom of the shuffled deck are the next two cards to be pulled from P1 and P2 switch the order you pull them.

The resulting shuffle is the same as if you did R and then swapped the cards at positions n and n+1 from the bottom.

Let O(X) be the "order" of a shuffle X. The order of a shuffle is how many times you have to do apply the shuffle consecutively to get back to where you started. O(R) for example is 8. Start with a new deck and do 8 perfect out riffle shuffles and you will be back to the original order.

It turns out that if you take a deck and do O(S(n))-1 shuffles using S(n) and then do an R you get back to where you started except the cards n and n+1 from the bottom are swapped.

A swap of any two cards can be accomplished using a series of swaps of adjacent cards and so this gives us a method to swap any two cards in the deck using only R and S shuffles. Since any permutation can be generated using only pair swaps this means any of the 52! possible permutations can be reached using only R and S shuffles.

This isn't very efficient. Just swapping n and n+1 in the deck this way takes at least 16 shuffles, and many more for some values of n. Here's a table:

n # of shuffles
0, 50 72
1, 49 56
16, 17, 33, 34 40
22, 28 120
other 16

Remember, adjacent swaps are just one small step in getting to a given permutation. Actually reaching an arbitrary permutation using R and S shuffles this particular way would take tens of thousands or more shuffles. But it does show that all permutations are reachable using reasonably normal shuffles.

Having tried it recreationally and also getting the stuffy nose, NSAIDs counter that effectively for me. Of course if you also get acute heartburn you want to be careful with combining it with something that can be tough on the stomach...

Talk to your doctor about whether you can combine with a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole. There's are downsides (in particular, sustained use can mask other things, including serious issues) but I've not had a single episode of heartburn since I was out on it.
There is NO tolerance development, on the contrary, increasing vascular health by long term PDE5 treatment and increasing psychological confidence over time make the treatment more effective with time.

Really can't recommend Nix for Python stuff more, it's by far the best at managing dependencies that use FFI/native extensions. It can be a pain sometimes to port your existing Poetry/etc. project to work with nix2lang converters but really pays off.
STL has been both historically and recently slow in many ways. Many game devs are making their own engine, especially historically, so they just implement their own version of STL in the way they want. Or they use another engine which has made its own replacement. Even Andreas of SerenityOS made his own entire STL (and also his own Objective-C like class system).

The C++ STL is probably one of the most commonly avoided standard libraries of any language. I can’t think of another that is so often replaced by bespoke code
No, the (hypothetical) topological defects mentioned in Section 7 of the article are configurations of (hypothetical) scalar fields (like the Higgs field, but with different equations of motion):

The Screen Time API extends a little beyond what you get with built-in Screen Time, like the ability to hide apps. It's still a bit funny that this product bashes Screen Time for being too easy to bypass when you could also just set a pin that you then write down and cycle once you remember it too well. I do this to enable the passcode change lock and account lock to prevent full compromise in case someone shouldersurfs my PIN and steals my phone (been known to happen).
Ungoogled-Chromium. Literally the only way to install extensions on it is to sideload them. But of course, it won't survive the Manifest-V3 onslaught.

Long term PDE 5 treatment lowers estrogen and increases testosterone. As a consequence of that, and its cardiovasvular effects, it makes it easier for the body to turn fat into energy by fat-browning, to grow muscles and to lose fat.
WhatsApp already has statuses and it will get more "distractions". If things like "Brick" will be successful, ad companies like Meta will work around them by distractifying essential apps.

It's better to think about what we did twenty or thirty years ago. Ad companies of course prefer their "product" not to think about this. It's quite simple (but difficult to execute): just don't pick up your phone this often. Understand that ad companies are actively fighting you because they want you as a "product" sheep consuming ads.

Some tools, tricks and stratagems are helpful:

- Configure notifications not to vibrate or make a sound

- Airplane mode for some time-out, for example when hiking

- Leave the phone home and learn to embrace the helplessness

- Learn not to think too much about it and live in the now

- If you return home, don't open your phone immediately but do something else

- Leave the phone in a different room when sleeping

- Understand if you say you cannot that these are psychological tricks by ad companies

- Understand that it is an addiction and accept if you binge

- Don't try to find perfect solutions

- Everybody is different, so try to find your own tricks, tools and stratagems, but stick to simple things

- Adapt when something changes like unwanted features added to an app

- Generally smile, relax, understand, let it go and enjoy life

Probably as much sense as if you're building some software and have the general design worked out and are still working on some broken bits, then someone comes along and suggests why don't you use this separate library to patch over the broken bits instead of fixing them like you were already doing?
Same applies to Chrome as well by that logic; it allows you to sideload unverified extensions too at the cost of annoyingly making you set it up at every startup.
