Perhaps the blood tests will/already do include this analysis. Asking people about their behaviours/habits/diets is usually a very poor data source. Not only do people have poor memories, but they are motivated to recall only positive behaviours, etc.

Many studies on health interventions (diet, exercise, sleep) have had to handle these problems and usually have to resort to much more controlled studies to demonstrate the effect beyond the "very large numbers, very long time" post-hoc analyses.

Same here! I still have some fairly simple 320x240 images that took all night to render.
To be clear, I'm not asking for anything. I'm raising a question, because I'm genuinely conflicted. It seems intractable to test everything for long enough to know that it's safe. On the other hand, the 20th century had some good examples of cases where we understood that something harmful only very long after it was in the environment (e.g. leaded gasoline).

Also to be clear, at no point did I say 100% about anything. Please do not attempt to put words in my mouth, or to fight a straw man. We can all acknowledge that empirical studies don't give 100% certainty about anything.

But it does also seem fundamentally problematic for us to make substances or materials ubiquitous in our environments faster than we can study them. We then also arrive at a methodological problem, where, for example we cannot meaningfully study whether long-term low-level exposure to PFAS are causing impacts on fertility in part because there is not a population that hasn't already had that exposure.

keepassxc is incredible, truly slept on. I use safari keychain as well, as a copy. But my master store is keepass. It boggles my mind that people pay for 1password.

Btw, is keepassxc on Android now or are you referring to one of the many Android keepass apps? I use keepassium on iOS.

I pay for protonmail and also store a copy in protonpass. Proton pass has a nice web interface and doesn’t require me to copy a keepass file or logon to iCloud on my work computer so I use that sometimes too.

OLTP vs OLAP

The systems aren't the same because they have different needs and performance characteristics.

Yes we're at the point where they can be the same. Guess what, that shit is expensive. I see people moving AWAY from real time where they can and going back to ETL and batch processing to save money.
great, so they have endless puns now too.
I wonder if it's to control the spread of mold/fungus. If I have a bunch of berries in a bin, and one of them has mold, I could lose a big chunk of the bin. But if they're in little plastic containers, I only lose that one container.

(Yeah, I know, the mold may have spread before they were put in the containers. It still limits the spread, even if it doesn't totally eliminate it.)
Yes it is a single page of notes with the pinned notes at the top which can be toggled and we have archived notes. That's all. I meant to add organizing notes into folders but after using it for a while I realized I didn't miss it. The search is very quick. I usually just write one or two phrases in the search and it will narrow down the notes to the ones that include all those phrases. Sometimes, I add tag-like text to a note e.g. #people so I can always search for it quickly.

Is another form of organizing essential for you?

In my late teens I would frequently be late for university because I’d turn off my alarm or my gf would come wake me up and I’d go straight back to sleep. One day I decided to move my alarm clock to the other side of the room so I’d have to physically get up to turn it off. The next morning I got up, walked over to the alarm clock and turned it off, then I was startled awake as I started to fall over standing in front of the alarm clock.

I’d like to be able to blame this on some kind of medical problem, but I think mostly I just stayed up late playing Counterstrike too much. :P

It doesn't require overintellectualizing, the exceptions are really obvious, like lead pipes. Generally speaking public health knowledge was extremely low in the pre-industrial era, compared to what we have now, so I don't know why we would use this as a standard. I wouldn't use pre-industrial standards for dealing with sewage or prepping for surgery, either.

Fair enough. I suppose that hardware resource constraints were sufficiently tight at the time that the "mass market" wouldn't have thanked you for something that might have cost twice as much (at a time when micros were already quite expensive relative to today).
peter kropotkin was right about the then state of things, but he missed the true solution. if i understand it correctly he is saying that in light of us not being good enough, a communist system is better than a capitalist one. and yet, communist systems largely failed.

the real solution is to fix the "are we good enough" problem and change education such that we actually become good enough. this requires moral education to a degree that is not happening anywhere yet. the reality is that as peter says in the beginning, if we were good enough, then the system would not matter. and has history has shown, as long as we are not good enough, any system remains exploitable. communism brought a temporary relief but ended up failing because we still were not good enough.

so lets forget this arguing about which system is better. it does not matter. what matters is that we learn to become good enough. that should be our goal. that's the only way to eliminate all problems.

The first large-scale use of the rare-earth metals was since the last decade of the 19th century in gas lamps with high brightness, which were used especially for street lighting in Europe, until they were replaced by electric lamps.

The next large-scale use appeared soon after the start of the 20th century, in the portable lighters, which are still used today.

That bit of snark is about the ESP32 brigade that plagues every project or story that involves any non-ESP32 MCU, including this one. Yesterday I watched a long live video by the engineer of a open source engine management system, and he too had to deal with the ESP32 brigade in live chat. He has entirely reasonable technical justifications for his choices, and his explanation had about as much impact with the ESP32 brigade as I've come to expect.
You are describing philosophy:

> 1. It's a communication mechanism. Other people on your team should know what approaches you're exploring.

If they have the time to do that, they can look at a branch as well.

> 2. It is much easier to review small, incremental PRs than a massive PR dumped at the end of a project.

It's also much easier to entirely lose track of what the purpose of a feature was if you only review it in small, incremental chunks. The chunks often make sense individually, but are a convoluted mess when you look at the full picture. Also, a feature branch should still have many small commits on it, and you can easily review those individually as well, but you also get to look at the whole picture before putting everything in. Not to mention, if it needs to be reverted, much much much easier if there's a single PR with 50 commits instead of 50 disparate commits over 3 weeks.

> 3. The lift from merge conflicts / integration work is less.

If you pull everyday from the main branch, there's rarely a problem with merge conflicts and integration work, unless someone else is doing a major refactor. And if they are, there is going to be a problem regardless of whether you commit early or late, you'll still have to keep adjusting to their ongoing refactor (and the possibility of ever reverting will be slim to none).

Most of that are not bare microcontrollers (or “SoC”s as Espressif calls it), but entire modules with different combinations of SoC, Flash, PSRAM, antenna configuration and packaging.

In the apartment I live in, I don't have a distance large enough I could put my alarm clock that I wouldn't be able to cross to turn off the alarm, then cross it again to get back to bed, and not even remember it later.

Fun fact: turns out I'm really good at mentally adding and multiplying 2 and 3-digit numbers while unconscious.
In April 1975, the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia, and in January 1976, Democratic Kampuchea was established. During the Cambodian genocide, the CCP was the main international patron of the Khmer Rouge, supplying "more than 15,000 military advisers" and most of its external aid.[82] It is estimated that at least 90% of the foreign aid to Khmer Rouge came from China, with 1975 alone seeing US$1 billion in interest-free economic and military aid and US$20 million gift, which was "the biggest aid ever given to any one country by China"

And if you read the article, north vietnam was their main backer before.

I work on a codebase that's at least 10 years old, and has thousands of files. Aider by comparison can't even load files into context due to its slowness with this many files.

There's too much subtlety and home-grown weirdness at this point to build "real" code, although I haven't really pushed it either. We're an internal application that mostly is consumed by other parts of our company, and so most of our problems are nitpicky workflow issues more than technical coding.

I think where Plandex is great is the mundane junk around the edges of a large system like this. Something I haven't tried but am pretty sure would work well is building a new API connector by loading a current API client into context, the docs for a new API to implement, and then iterating a bit to generate the new one in the right style.

I could also probably get further by having a 'style guide' markdown document I load into context too. Something like that would be handy for basically any LLM based coding assistant.

We can always rely on pre-2022 data. But I guess what you're saying is plausible, I see it becoming like the adversarial game of virus vs immune system, a constant arms race. We got to build our immunity. On the one hand AI can churn bullshit on command, on the other hand training on large datasets tends to cancel out many errors across the corpus.

All the more reason to use local models and curated feeds from now on. Local LLMs can clean / firewall the bad stuff, and follow our guidance. They will be like the new anti-virus software. I've predicted early in 2023 that in the future operating systems and browsers will all sport a small LLM that will ensure we don't get abused by the internet and provide a "room of our own", where we have total privacy.
