"Comparing biomarker profiles measured at similar ages, but earlier in life, among exceptionally long-lived individuals and their shorter-lived peers can improve our understanding of aging processes. This study aimed to (i) describe and compare biomarker profiles at similar ages between 64 and 99 among individuals eventually becoming centenarians and their shorter-lived peers, (ii) investigate the association between specific biomarker values and the chance of reaching age 100, and (iii) examine to what extent centenarians have homogenous biomarker profiles earlier in life. Participants in the population-based AMORIS cohort with information on blood-based biomarkers measured during 1985–1996 were followed in Swedish register data for up to 35 years. We examined biomarkers of metabolism, inflammation, liver, renal, anemia, and nutritional status using descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and cluster analysis. In total, 1224 participants (84.6% females) lived to their 100th birthday. Higher levels of total cholesterol and iron and lower levels of glucose, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and total iron-binding capacity were associated with reaching 100 years. Centenarians overall displayed rather homogenous biomarker profiles. Already from age 65 and onwards, centenarians displayed more favorable biomarker values in commonly available biomarkers than individuals dying before age 100. The differences in biomarker values between centenarians and non-centenarians more than one decade prior death suggest that genetic and/or possibly modifiable lifestyle factors reflected in these biomarker levels may play an important role for exceptional longevity."

It's interesting that they found that higher levels of total cholesterol were associated with reaching 100 years, given that doctors seem to want total cholesterol lower.
so true

I had a similar experience this morning. I made the huge mistake of opening Famdom on my phone, and it took me a few minutes of blankly staring at the screen to realize this is actually a legit site. The amount of ads they managed to pack on a 4.7 inch screen was mesmerising.

The problem is i got stuck at that game and searched for a quick solution. Then google straight up made me end up in that pile of ads. I hope people will start realizing what that website is and hopefully migrate their wikis to a better place, although it probably won’t happen.
So people looking for a wiki with a quick search end up clicking on the fandom link, being bombarded with ads as well as potentially outdated or incorrect information, instead of clicking on the wiki that doesn't have those issues. In turn, that gives fandom more ad views and potential clicks, perpetuating the problem.

Run this code in your JS console to get an array of the urls to the 3 ads.

The ability to abide by all store rules are not only legally enforceable contracts between companies — they are legal agreements after all — but a strong indicator of whether companies will abide by the normalized standards required to do business in an ecosystem.

Photoshop is, unfortunately, the most comfortable art application out there for a lot of art related workflows. The pattern preview mode allows for painting tiling textures easily (a feature oddly lacking from all competitors--except asperite oddly), the filters are all top notch, the ability to do non-destructive adjustments is insanely useful and not seen anywhere else, and the brush engine is the industry standard. There are a lot of nice things about how Photoshop approaches art that others are missing. The fact that Photoshop can manipulate images as easily as it can create them is what makes it special. Procreate is great for painting, but lacks even 10% of the features Photoshop has. Gimp is a decent photo editor with terrible painting tools.

There is a massive opportunity in the market for Procreate to come out with a desktop version that expands on its functionality, but my theory is that it is probably the #1 iPad selling point for many people and Apple is paying them to keep it iPadOS / iOS only. Some big name Japanese anime studios are now working a big percentage of their workflow on iPads with Procreate.
I don’t even really understand why things have to be notable for Wikipedia. If people wanted to maintain all of the Runescape articles in Wikipedia (as mentioned by nouser76)… why not? Why not have Wikipedia literally be the central place for all information for all these different things?
Right, but we are relying on what the 'driver said.' Anyone who has been involved in an accident knows the other driver will lie through their teeth to avoid responsibility.
I think it's funny that we're constantly reckoning with the issues that venture capital causes to various things in tech on a website that's funded and maintained by a venture capital fund.

It can't be all bad, right? More and more, it seems like VC is the only way you can go in tech unless you have a really specific business model.
I do. Whenever I'm holding my fingers up to indicate a number, I do it with my palms facing me. I'm in the US, though, where there is no special meaning for the two-fingers-raised hand gesture no matter which way your palms face.

I also often think about this. "Animism" was a super efficient way to program a culture for respect towards nature. From that perspective it's a shame that it's gone.

I'm hopeful that with all this research, we're sort of traversing a longer cultural arc that terminates at the same "symptoms" of animism (respect for nature, good stewardship of natural resources, following the precautionary principle). Those symptoms would now be supported by different load-bearing pillars, called "Environmental Science" and "Biology".

I don't think we can go "back", but I think we can go "forwards" and still end up in a good (albeit, ironically, more or less the same) spot, where capital-S Science basically endorses most native land management practices. We've already made pretty good progress in the last generation or two.

So search engines continue to serve the SEO-riddled landgrab garbage over the valuable resource, new visitors to the community continue to get served bad information and deterred from involving themselves further, the maintainers of the real wiki have to waste spare time figuring out how to deal with this nonsense over maintaining the resource, and Fandom continues to pollute the informational commons to its own gain and everyone else's detriment.

There isn't one, there are hundreds. Given that you end up on a small fandom wiki, you have no idea where 'the better community' is. You go to your search engine of choice and start clicking random wikis hoping at least one other one has decent info (most are useless).

As a concrete example, Path of Exile moved to https://www.poewiki.net/ (which is a single MediaWiki instance not associated with a larger network). The content is quite good but it took probably 18 months for it to start reliably appearing in google search results.

The official openai-cookbook (https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook) used to have an explicit, but buried, call out that instruction-following models like `text-davinci-003` were "Less diverse; less creative; sometimes harder to steer tone, style, etc." as opposed to base completion models like `davinci`.

It stood out to me because it seemed to be an internal admission that this training narrowed the potential of the models.

Required a bit of digging but I found the old file in the history, the relevant text is in the comparison table at the bottom:

Yes, but these are approximate.

I mean the exact position, down to a millimeter, when e.g. a photo sensor on a train passes past a LED mounted below the station platform. The LED's light is modulated so there can be no mistake, and its location is precisely known.

React, vue, and svelte all have MDN docs. So not sure that’s the best way of determining a better route for JS frameworks.
I simply don't think that I will ever be able to come up with anything even vaguely as comprehensive as the test coverage that Microsoft already has for ensuring their ORM behaves consistently across database providers. In my over 10 years of using EF, I have never once encountered a database bug like you describe. If I were to discover such a bug (which I'll admit does occasionally happen even though it hasn't happened to me), it would be easier and better by far to submit an issue to the EF team and let them figure out a fix (including the appropriate tests) than it would be to rework my own test infrastructure. I am not in the business of developing requirements or code for databases, and building an elaborate test model for what I consider the essential requirements for a database would be a distraction from developing code that is more valuable to the business.

The same logic does not apply to all ORMs, of course, which do not all benefit from the same quality of professional dev support that EF receives from MS. But that's my main point from above: the correct design decision depends on the context. For services written in other languages with other ORMs or raw SQL, I absolutely will spin up a full Postgres test container because it is indeed trivial (have one running in the background on my laptop right now in fact). It just isn't necessary in the specific context of EntityFramework code.

Something seems off because marrying HTML, CSS, and JS is a complex abstraction and with trade-offs. Then you throw in SEO, so hydration gets created. Then JS can be used in the server too so you have to manage both states. Then, users don't want a blank screen, but a loading screen so they know the website is working.

Before you know it, you've created a whole new paradigm that has it's own sets of new problems, even those solved by the original HTML/CSS/JS model.

> Are web browsers hyper-optimised for static documents (beating a "native" GUI toolkit for static documents)?

Yes. The browser is the world's most widely deployed and used runtime. I would assume Blink, WebKit and Gecko are the three most carefully optimised pieces of software ever.
Humans that are blackout drunk are emotional but non-conscious. They can carry on full conversations without a sense of being. Basically every animal exists in this state continuously. It's why human behavior is vastly different from animal behavior. Self-referential consciousness is as much of a curse as it is a blessing. It's spoken about in this way by basically every human religion for a reason. This article is misses the mark entirely. This kind of sloppy thinking about consciousness exists in part because it's incentivized by fiat economics that require replacing economization-resistant traditional human food staples (like meat) - with less expensive alternatives to hide economic mismanagement.

Try putting Pop OS or some Ubuntu flavor on it, maybe it'll find a 2nd life. If it's already bricked and there's no warranty, then what's the harm. (games support via Steam nowadays is almost seamless)
They are related: even if Signal had a backup, you’d have to have some way to recover the key when you lose your device. For example, Matrix does offer backups but you need a key to decrypt the backup if you lose access to all your verified devices.

Without some easy to use out-of-band key backup solution, an E2EE server backup is no backup at all.
It also means the RS Wiki have full control over their fate, in comparison to e.g. what happened with the WoW wiki where it was WoWWiki at Fandom (then Wikia), they split to Wowpedia at Gamepedia which then got bought by Fandom and reeled them back in, and so they had to move out again, so now they're Warcraft Wiki. But they're at a new wiki host (wiki.gg) so who knows, maybe Fandom buys them too and they end up having to do a 4th fork.
I use ablocker but even with adblocker, Fandom's UI is so cluttered, that it is actually bloatware. It ranks high on Google and it is apparently one of the most visited websites in the world, undeservedly so.
One way around it is to stop looking at only media from your own country (specifically if you're in the US) and look at what other countries are doing. With the internet there is no reason to only listen to American bands, watch American movies, etc. K-pop for example has grown outside of Korea.
I'm not trying to be unfair or critical or anything. My first question was genuine. I intended my note about acronyms to be just that: a side note. The response I got was "If you read the template [...]", which it should have been pretty obvious I did. Then I got an explanation of the template as if I hadn't read it, which was a bit patronizing.

I think it's a good idea (and said so twice!). I was curious what the reception was like.

Sorry if my comment about acronyms was too much. It is a pet peeve of mine to see acronyms not spelled out, especially technical ones in a document intended for non-technical people. I didn't intend it to derail the conversation. Obviously it was taken in a way more critical way than I had intended -- my fault.
This is an interesting experiment in economic protectionism. Depending how far is the US drone industry in a few year we'll see this measure repeated

Ask HN: Best place to locate syslog for DMZ hosts?
In a traditional network design, is it better to locate the syslog server inside the secure network due to its value, and poke a hole inward for DMZ hosts to publish? As opposed to placing the syslog in the DMZ or its own zone. Is a syslog daemon low risk? Or am I approaching the problem fundamentally wrong?
Yeah, microplastics, an industrial byproduct, are totally like dihydrogen monoxide, something essential for life, which we and all other species, evolved for billions of years to need for basic functioning.

I mean, this kind of thoughtless rooting for any tech and tech byproductto the level of this comparison, similar to the chavinistic "my country, right or wrong" , is like those who were consuming radioactive stuff in the early 20th century to prove "it's completely safe".

and "any tech is always good" is about as much scientific as flat-earth.
Fandom will also not allow wiki owners to remove the wiki from Fandom servers. For several communities that decide to cut ties with Fandom, they effectively have to "fork" the wiki to a new domain and hosting provider, and all the while, search engines will almost always show the Fandom version first. I know it's happened with Doom, Simpsons, Futurama, Minecraft.

It also draws would-be contributors to the Fandom site, make changes there, and since they are no longer supervised by the community 'elite', the quality of the Fandom version rapidly declines.
I see what you're saying, but in practice, not really?

It would be weird for wikipedia to host, for example, every minecraft crafting recipe.

If you take into account fusion then the energy density of water is insanely high. Doesn’t mean you need to worry about it.

It’s a myth that energy density is a reason to worry about batteries or any other form of energy storage. How much energy is stored doesn’t say anything about how easy it is to release that energy in an uncontrolled way.

For Li-ion batteries it’s not really the electric energy stored you need to worry about at all. It’s the flammable electrolyte.

Solid state batteries are often very safe since they usually don’t have a flammable electrolyte. And when the electrolyte doesn’t burn it’s much harder to get a short and thermal runaway as well
Parenting: Who Is It For?
I would like to see a “framework of opinions” somewhere. 0 actual software, just documentation for standard JS and browser APIs organized in a way resembling framework documentation.

The current style of web platform documentation tends to resemble a big list of objects, or the most basic and slowest introduction to web development possible.

Something in-between, with chapters like “templating” or “data fetching” that focused on some opinionated but framework less structure, would be nice.
I was imagining you'd still plug it into an external display. I guess you could fairly argue that defeats the purpose of a battery, though...

Although, it might be cool with e-ink, low refresh rate notwithstanding.

Certainly. Although megacorps at least still have some incentives to compete with each other and therefore try to appease the consumers. Unfortunately the EU does not.

I'm saying that "make flights difficult" is kinda-besides-the-point. The real goal is to impose some kind of return-pain to make the offender stop. Poetic symmetry is merely an ideal bonus.

In other words, it may be true that "the ideal retaliation is not very effective because of other circumstances", however that is not the same as "there is no need to retaliate at all."
Whoops, got that backwards, how embarrassing. 35% is still a lot though!
That seems so arbitrary, where does ascii art fall?
I wouldn’t call the ecosystem of svelte small. Since it adheres to HTML and javascript so closely, the effective ecosystem is pretty much the things supporting plain javascript and plain HTML, which is a lot of things.

(Though two years ago I think sveltekit — the app framework for svelte, without which svelte is incomplete for many cases — may not have been quite ready for production, so it was probably fair at the time.)
