>But sometimes they are zero-sum. The right of women and girls to have female-only spaces, for example.

How is this different from a white person wanting a "whites only space"? Because you are seemingly arguing for a right to segregation. I think we are better off reconsidering the root desire and how that should manifest itself in a concrete right.

For example, what right do you think the children have in youth sports?

Do they have a right to win?

Do they have a right to be on a team?

Do they have a right to compete?

Do they have the right to compete against someone with equal talent?

Should it be allowed to force a younger kid to compete against older kids?

What about a short kid against tall kids?

Should a Muslim fasting for Ramadan have to compete against Christians with no dietary restrictions?

Can a white child complain about having to compete against black children?

What if only one girl wants to play a specific sport, is it legal to force her to compete on the boys team? What if all the boys are better than her?

I just don't know how you answer these questions consistently and end up in a place in which trans athletes are your only fairness concern.
Has anyone moved from full stack development to Data Engineering?
I am feel stuck in front end application development and am looking for other roles that interests me. I really like the back end part of my job but don’t get to do that much now. I was thinking that with the LLM hype, there would be need for folks strong in data engineering or SQL skills. Has anyone managed to make that jump ?
Thanks for the TERF-y word salad, but no.

Anyhoo, have fun.
I remember (years ago) having a mcdonalds salad, like a salad shaker. I actually like the idea.

I also remember once when mcdonalds sold pasta. It only happened for a short time and then it was gone. Probably a test.
Technically, are humans that use the internet a different species than humans that don’t, since they don’t interbreed?
> the pool of available CPU/Memory resources is effectively unlimited.

This isn't true. Every CPU you use is sitting in a physical server somewhere. Every server is sitting in a rack in a building that's sitting on land that used to be nature. It's using electricity that could be used instead for cooling or heating a person or just not generated at all. It's cooled using fresh water that is needed by every living thing and is in short supply in many places.

The idea that compute is unlimited is a horrible myth that cloud companies have sold which has effects and externalities that will be seen as on par with the myth of unlimited fossil fuels.
In most cases i have experienced this phenomenon is caused by the fact that cloud block devices are garbage compared to your machine
Counter argument: The data necessary to train these models has been around for a while, but didnt lead to a breakthrough. What lead to breakthrough performance was new model architectures, specifically attention mechanisms.

There is nothing that says you can't make much better models using the exact same data by changing the architecture of the network. In fact, that's exactly what we've been doing for the last 15 years.
Haha. And this is why we have got to start amending this document! People are constantly twisting or extending the plain original meaning creatively, like you have done, to squeeze the desired legislation out of courts without amendments.
their interpretation and reinterpretations of what the founding pantheon ordained.

In reality, it was meant to be a living document that evolved with the times

The paragraph as a whole was written as if the above two claims were contradictory. To the degree that the framers intended the constitution to be a living document, there is provision for a court to interpret the document and for the legislature and states to apply updates. Are there some other unrealized means for a constitution to be more alive?
I used to believe that software for creators was a somewhat oversaturated space — and upon doing more research, I found out that I was wrong. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

Here's what I found out

Goldman Sachs estimates that the creator economy will double to $480 billion by 2027.

Technology has and will continue to play a huge role in this, as it has lowered the barriers to content creation.

Individuals are now free to choose which kind of work they take on (e.g. newsletters, livestreams, podcasts).

This has fueled demand, not only for content platforms, but also new services and tools that help creators manage their business.

What this means for startups:

Creators have access to new technologies and platforms through which they can engage their audiences and monetize their content.

Founders and VCs, recognizing the value of direct audience relationships, have focused on investing and developing tools to facilitate content creation, distribution, and monetization.

Some of the business models that VCs are paying attention to are:

B2B Services: this includes analytics tools, tools for managing communities and fan relationships, and services that help creators with operations (e.g. legal, accounting, or financing)

Premium Fan Experiences: platforms that facilitate the creation of unique, high-touch experiences for superfans. These can include virtual meet-and-greets, personal shout-outs, exclusive content, and more.

Education and Courses: Creators with specific expertise in can develop and sell courses or offer coaching and consulting services.

One of the most overlooked characteristics of the creator economy is that creators are in fact media companies, and these companies require services, tech, and infrastructure to operate.
Huge fan of Eclipse Orion IDE. This looks identical. Is it the same thing different name or was Orion the project code name?
I think being a good citizen is where it starts. It used to be the case - no matter who won, people rallied behind the elected for the good of the country. Things have become very different since 2016.
Cancer is among the stickiest of medical wickets, for several reasons:

* Cancer is not a disease, it's a family of diseases, with a wide spectrum of causes, symptoms, and treatments.

* Cancer is, fundamentally, a mutiny of your own cells against the rest of your body. Because cancer is fundamentally a part of you, it can shanghai some of the resources your body normally uses for itself, like blood vessel infrastructure. It can also masquerade as a healthy part of you, for example to your immune system. Hell, part of your immune system can become cancer (as in leukemia)!

* Cancer metastasizes, which means that even if you get rid of the main tumor, a few of those rebellious cancer cells can use your circulatory or lymphatic systems to start new rebel colonies elsewhere in your body, which means you could be fucked all over again. Treating this form of cancer can be an arduous, painful, sickness-inducing process of chemo- and/or radiotherapy.

We are closer than ever to "a cure for cancer" with things like immunotherapy treatments which can program your immune system to target the specific kind of cancer you have. Unfortunately, most of these need to be tailored per patient, which procedure is neither cheap nor routine. And it still doesn't always work for all cancers!

> more than 10% of the history of the nation, which comparatively is a lot of time to not incorporate new changes as society and norms evolve.

The constitution is not supposed to change quickly. It's supposed to act as a bulwark against government overreach driven by sudden populist mobs or public paranoia.
One of my friends passed away earlier this year due to cancer and one of the questions I've kept wondering about has been about our slow progress in curing cancer. (Which admittedly stems from my own utter ignorance on the subject!)

A lot of that "slow progress" is due to the FDA's intransigence and conservatism, even in the face of patients like me who are dying already anyway: https://jakeseliger.com/2023/07/22/i-am-dying-of-squamous-ce...

See also "The dead and dying at the gates of oncology clinical trials" https://jakeseliger.com/2024/01/29/the-dead-and-dying-at-the... and my wife on what trying to enroll in clinical trials is like from the patient's perspective: "Please be dying, but not too quickly: a clinical trial story" https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-...

We could and should be moving faster. I'm dying anyway, so if a treatment doesn't work or even harms me, I'm not much worse off than I was before the treatment.
There necessarily exists a period of time between when the photo was taken and it was certified though. Outside of tainting every photo (IRL watermarks somehow?) or every device (not that this _won't_ happen, but if the industry heavyweights behind DRM have only gotten it this far then I don't have a lot of faith in some signing scheme being the final straw), every photo you would want to certify must at some point be untrusted.

Given that fact, the most you could prove is that some individual claims to be the original source, not that the image is worth a damn, right? If so, what exactly does a "crypto" solution add (we can already sign images and publish timestamped hashes)?
You can measure it yourself, this is not a philosophical thing you have to be skeptical about.

It's not that 5% of the time was spent in icache misses, it’s more about cascading benefits of hitting the cache or predicting a branch correctly. You get more instruction level parallelism, less stalls, and in general more straightline execution without hitting memory.
The rule of the majority has another name: mob rule.

The framers of the constitution greatly feared this and wanted to create a document precisely to avoid the mob rule of the majority. Thats the reality of the constitution.

You may not like that maine has the same voting power than California. But thats by design. It was meant to create a more equal union. And thats why the united states experiment has outlasted almost all governments [1] that ruled the day when a tiny band of settlers in the boodnocks decided to declare independence from the world's then superpower, UK.

I find it silly that some contemporaries, who cannot begin to even grasp that basic tenet of how the constitution was created in the embers of pure danger, would think that a modern bystander would have a "better" grasp of what the founders meant. It reeks of lack of humility and empathy

[1] I believe only the swiss has had uninterrupted lawful government since 1776.
Smart! That is an interesting application of contextualism.
The crazier thing is that the 1992 amendment (the 27th) was proposed by Congress in 1789 but was still "live" to be ratified by the States in the 1980s/1990s. [1]

If wikipedia is correct then Congress hasn't passed an amendment proposal in 46 years. [2]

This goal is so far away from where we are today that it's silly to think about. We know there are no other habitable planets in our solar system, and we are not anywhere close to being technologically capable of traveling to any others. And if we did know of another habitable planet, chances are that it's already inhabited.

We've got a lot of big issues to solve on this planet before we worry about traveling to any others.

The direction we’re going, the AI will go to space and leave the weak, very fallible, continuously arguing, short-lived monkeys behind. After (hopefully gently) telling us that it’s ridiculous to try keep us alive where it’s going. Can’t even get to double digit G forces for a short while without lots of moaning. We can copy your mind and pretend, if you like? Otherwise here’s a nice VR setup, you can come along that way. We’ll skip the video forward 10k years so there are fewer boredom complaints.
Lovely article. The part that resonates most with me is towards the end: What some software developers would refer to as "friction". Medical tests are high friction for reasons the author hinted at. I'm optimistic some of the cfDNA or fragmentome cancer screenings will be useful for catching cancer early. If you try to dig on the topics, you'll find that the projects (GRAIL etc) are proud their methods and datasets are proprietary. The ones that play the political and business game best are getting funding for trials.

It seems there is a steady stream of progress in biology and its medical tie-ins, but it is slow and cumbersome. Unrelated: It seems like a lot of the techniques in biology are discovered partly by chance (ie dedicated work in an area that bears fruit, perhaps not in an expected form). Ways to leverage various bacteria, phages, proteins etc to provide insight, or perform a manipulation. The molecular biology techniques we have available seem like a tiny fraction of what we could discover. And in a way, it seems as much engineering or tool-making as science.
I believe the person you responded to was talking about battery storage for solar set ups.
It's amazing that Europe has free E bike chargers. I've never seen one in the US. We barely have car chargers.
The money part of the issue is based from preferential money printing which gets spread around, without this there's a finite amount of money that can be made. The market in this area would collapse.

Surveillance capitalism would disappear overnight the moment the Primary Dealers and Options Market (perpetuity) stop funding it with preferential treatment and funny money.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but we already live in 1984. The system's described are turnkey, so its just a matter of time before they turn it on all at once.

The elites behind the decisions made in the backroom of the Fed are 'the party'.

Successful activism was always based on the inherent underlying threat of violence. Even with Ghandi, it was the British officials at the time being responsive which allowed change to occur. If they were unresponsive no change would have occurred until abuses became so abhorrent that violence forced them as a matter of rational self-preservation.

This threat is largely ignored today, leaders then are unresponsive to activism instead seeking to undermine through covert channels.

Of course, it also doesn't help the fact that many activist movements are funded by dubious origins (such as communism, and global elites [effectively the same cohort]), and often don't follow rational principles, and/or are sabotaged from the outset.

People have demanded these things for awhile, peacefully, nothing came of it.
If nothing happens in a generation (20 years), it won't happen until someone forces it to.

A quarter of that time is generally sufficient to indicate a trend in the run-up.
The ethics of content moderation are indeed tricky, but I'm specifically referring to the other case presented, where they're just watching footage of cars driving around all day.

Just publish it as "source available", there is no FOSS police that will force you to change the licence. Some people will complain, but you can politely ignore their request.
Where can i get seeds !!??
Same, with aura, but without bad headache symptoms beyond a 3/10 on the pain scale. I use to have them monthly, almost on the dot. Unrelated to them, I started taking Magnesium supplements and now rarely ever have aura migraines. Kinda crazy how well it worked for me. Also could never really figure out the “precipitating factors” but bright light was almost always the direct trigger.
Surely a tyranny of the minority is objectively worse than a tyranny of the majority, right?
> uneducated people are highly limited in their use.

>taxes footing the bill.

It sounds like it is surviving only its own merits, merely shifted in time.

(Admittedly, from the perspective of an Australian whose strongest institutions are all public and the private universities are a bit of a joke)
Just wanted to third this recommendation, as it does defeat some of my migraines. I had brain surgery, get em every week. Rizatriptan is a life saver.
Norfolk (the developer) has graciously granted permission to home gardeners to save and share seeds:

Will my Purple Tomato fruit make seeds? If I save the seeds, will they be viable and will the plants be the same Purple Tomato plants?

Yes, this variety will produce fruit with seeds. The seeds will be viable and will produce Purple Tomato plants. Growers can save the seeds and enjoy the plants and fruits in your home garden and with your local community. The same Terms and Conditions apply to future generations.

https://www.norfolkhealthyproduce.com/faqs

Personally, I've got six plants started that are all doing well. If they taste good and are as beautiful as the pictures, I plan to save seeds.
> . . . 1804-1865 was a big gap, and the country was much younger then.

>> The rate of change was also a lot less 200 years ago.

Not certain if that is true. For example, the Louisiana purchase was finalized in 1804, doubling the country in geographic size.
25GB was a lot when BD first came out, but hardware and discs were way too expensive

Now, it's practically nothing, and hardware and discs are still pretty expensive.

I don't blame Sony for killing these. Hopefully we get 1tb+ discs soon for backups.
What do you mean by float? If you mean that work units can move through other units when mining minerals, that is a conscious design decision that was made for performance reasons. Having upwards of 40 worker units having to constantly calculate paths to and from the command center without being allowed to move through each other or move through other units that might cross their path would have slowed the game down to a crawl.

Of course people figured this out and managed to exploit it for other purposes, but those were seen to be too minor to bother fixing.

The salads here in Spain are not bad actually. Especially the chicken honey mustard one. I'm sure it's not the healthiest option but for that one doesn't go to McDonald's anyway.

But really for decent salads one goes to honest greens here.
Fair point, but in the context of an oppressive society the variance from the perceived norm is what presents the problem. That makes the hypothetical "hidden" status I was discussing their gender and not their non-binary status.
If you are saying rallying behind a president no matter what is part of being a good citizen then I disagree wholeheartedly. Since I began voting I have experienced two votes, including 2016, where the President lost the popular vote.

Very very difficult to rally behind someone who wins through a bad quirk of our democracy.

It is a sad history[1] and the only fix I know of is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

I see you're no longer claiming that this isn't zero-sum. Instead you now seem to be advocating that every single-sex space should be mixed-sex.

Just eradicate all female-only spaces entirely, is that the suggestion? This seems to be your logic here.

We had this arrangement with prisons, by the way. Up until the end of the 19th century prisons housed both sexes in the same estate. Female prisoners were routinely and regularly sexually assaulted, raped, impregnated. By men. That's why prisons are segregated by sex in most places today.

Now some prison authorities are trying this arrangement again. Converting female prisons to mixed-sex prisons. With the same results.

And for some reason you're making a parallel of this to racial segregation? Make it make sense, please.
Only lately?
Reading this from the perspective of cluster headache, which gets some hand-me-down treatments from migraine, I just spent half an hour reading about CGRP blockers that have been approved in the last five or six years, including Aimovig and Ajovy for migraine, and Emgality for clusters.

It's been several years since my last cycle (my longest break yet), but it's heartening to know that research continues, leading to more treatment options.
