We have drifted geographically too but during the pandemic I swapped to Roll20 and Zoom and it's worked for us.
Having no inflammation at all is a very bad thing. Too much inflammation is also a very bad thing. Hypothetically, there's an optimal level of inflammatory response. Evolution doesn't necessarily guarantee that, at least when it comes to a single mouse.

An individual organism surviving for the longest amount of time is not necessarily optimal at the species level. It could be that mice (for instance) have a bit too high of an IL-11 response, but there's either no evolutionary pressure against it or there's some species-level value to it.

Above all, since only one interleukin was targeted in the research, we can't assume that all inflammation is bad and that no inflammation is ideal.

On a related note, I wonder if there's anything commercially available that can suppress IL-11. Currently, I'm taking phycocyanin extracted from spirulina, which is supposed to suppress COX-2 and IL-17, but I don't see any research confirming whether it has an effect on IL-11. Would be cool if I've unwittingly begun extending my lifespan. :D
Yeah, the landscape is horrible.

I created NS records on example.com to delegate all of home.example.com to a wholly different DNS provider. That provider then manages (all of) that zone, but nothing more (important records such as MX remain on example.com).
I believe that the law allows us to link to others’ online content. The reason might be that the link takes you to their site where they control the presentation and can benefit from your viewing it.
Yeah ok if you expect to be paid $10k per day working at a tractor company, job hunting is going to be hard.
`copy` alone is not a red flag. There are definitely cases where you need to use it for safety -- mutable pair types like property list types, for example. But you can't trust an object like -- for example -- NSWindow to do something sane with it unless the behavior is explicitly documented.
Isn't `src`, as in `src/packagename/__init__.py`, a thing any more?
This also lines up with something said in the book Lifespan about fasting reducing inflammation.
yes, but It would be a trillion dollar invention for whomever created it.

Inventors and researchers are motivated by their potential rewards, not second order consequences for other parties.

Hundreds of billions of dollars flow into oncology research trying to make improvements.

Middle school is hot garbage, like the author says. But in terms of the Supreme Court case, it is the correct call. Schools have (I forget the legal term) some rights of parents while the kid is on campus/in school which is appropriate. But outside of that, it's up to the kid's parents.

And I don't know the answer to this, but could the bullied kid's parents sue the influencer's parents for the activity of their child for emotional trauma or the like? Or do there need to be 'actual damages'?

One of the pillars of fair use is whether it disrupts the market for the original work. The explicit goal of gen ai is to replace artists and their original work.
It sounds like you are agreeing.

Hunting pressure on already distressed species ( due to climate change ) over long periods of time seems like a likely explanation.

The complaint is not that humans were not a factor but rather that we were not the only one.
If they released these mice to live in unsanitary wild environment it could turn up they lived shorter/less healthy lives on average because they were less adapted to fight all the pathogens.

I believe the juicy details are "It's a marketing term for getting off-the-shelf LLMs to call out to pre-written browser automation scripts", but I'd love to hear it from the horse's mouth.
How would you ensure compliance?
Just feel this needs to be solved higher up the pipeline than where they're trying to solve it. The fact multiple versions of the same library can't coexist in a project meaning you end up having to find this plateaux where every dependency is within range if they cross over. Node/NPM can do this, don't really see why Python couldn't eventually and read dependencies from within the project folder rather than this whole fake idea that it exists at a system level which just hasn't been the reality of how people are using this language for a long time.
Context-preserving error handling in Rust
Email is used for a lot of things. It could be used as a message broker in batch processing systems. /s (Seriously, there are MIME types for that.)

I'm being surrounded right now by examples in multiple domains where it is clear that the moral of the story is that one person taking an action is different than a company packaging that action up and selling it as a solution to a general problem. This seems to be a lesson which needs to be generally remembered, explored, and learned. Again.

While one person responding "will do!" is appropriate 1:1, it is typically not appropriate to /reply all/ when doing it or to reply to a distribution list when doing it. I mean there are exceptions to everything: "Reply 'will do!' to this all-staff@ message or you're fired." But generally it's a meme, an anti-pattern (and there, I did it again).

Many people have built autoreply systems for email to respond with helpful advice to frequent topics. (Happy to help, I've done it before.) Similarly email clients (MUAs) which have macro / scripting capabilities for filtering or replying are not new.

What's new here? If it can be called new, it's that somebody provided that macro capability and linked it to an optional email header the sender can provide which enables / disables the ability to run macros in the client. In theory; or something. We (or at least I) don't know if it's possible to add your own macros.

I imagine this comes with tools in the client or in alias management to manage "reply all" / "me too": in other words it might be possible for someone to disable macros when responding to messages sent to all-staff@. I expect other extensions which reach across boundaries of control to follow if this one floats, and that's why I consider it a shitshow.
How do you set the shortcut? When I press cmd-j the Library in Firefox opens. I have checked "Disbale javascript" in settings in uBO. I guess that setting will be disable for just the site i visit when i click cmd-j?
He mentioned he has 20+ years of experience, so I think he is in fact comparing to VP-level roles. Most people I’ve met at faang who are over 40 are in fact seniorstaff+ or director+, so it’s not as insane as it seems on first blush, although I think to reach his numbers you’d have to factor in stock appreciation as well.

I also think far more people leave faang altogether than reach VP level.
Are you taking any NAD+ supplements? I am as of a week ago, just curious if anyone else is.
Show HN: I made an app so you never forget to cancel a subscription
42% of consumers waste more than $100 per month on unused subscriptions.

That's $1,200 a year. That could do a lot for you don't you think?

I saw a Twitter (X) post about how someone forgot to cancel a subscription and it cost them almost $50.

It's happened to me before and I'm sure it's happened to you. I built Subout to fix that.

And so you don't have to pay a subscription to track and cancel unused subscriptions, I have a one-time payment of $5 for lifetime access. The price increases up to $50 for new customers as I add the features below.

=> Finding you one-time payment deals

=> SMS or WhatsApp reminders

=> Analytics on Monthly Subscriptions.

=> Dealing with difficult subscription cancellation

There's also a generous free plan where you get:
=> To track all your subscriptions in one mobile view

=> An installable mobile web app

=> Email notifications on the 2nd to last day of the month about subscriptions to be renewed in the next month.
And is SwiftUI's @MainActor annotation "main thread" enough for this? e.g. if a View with @MainActor annotation renders a child which is a NSCell/NSImage/NSImageRep/NSAnimation wrapped in a representable - all is good? I don't know why Apple keeps adding things to Swift without removing the old things.
What? There are still millions of people with great high paying tech jobs.
Green Threads increase the footgun count as methods which return tasks are rather explicit about their nature. The domain of async/await is well-studied, and enables crucial patterns that, like in my previous example, Green Threads do nothing to improve the UX of in any way. This also applies to Go approach which expects you to use Channels, which have their own plethora of footguns, even for things trivially solved by firing off a couple of tasks and awaiting their result. In Go, you are also expected to use explicit synchronization primitives for trivial concurrent code that require no cognitive effort in C# whatsoever. C# does have channels that work well, but turns out you rarely need them when you can just write simple task-based code instead.

I'm tired of this, that one article is bad, and incorrect, and promotes straight-up harmful intuition and probably sets the industry in terms of concurrent and asynchronous programming back by 10 years in the same way misinterpreting Donald Knuth's quote did in terms of performance.
1. Sell bunch of radiation-hardened parts to NASA.
2. Find out the parts you sold to NASA don't meet the specs.
3. Don't tell NASA, because NASA didn't tell you what those parts would be used for.

This is criminally incompetent on the part of Infineon. WTF, NASA could use those transistors for a fancy inteliggent toilet FWIW, it doesn't matter, NASA doesn't have to tell you how they are going to use those parts. They bought parts based on a fucking SPECIFICATION, and if the parts you sold them don't meet the specs, you communicate immediatelly with the customer offering a replacement for free.

Really, someone should be jailed for that.
I thought that exact thought a while back, so I decided to fill in one of the gaps in my application arsenal by building a native application that does nothing but display a grid of images quickly. It's a gallery app.

After trying to make the most basic version of this app I can imagine, here's my takeaway on desktop application development: it sucks. Badly. Displaying a grid of images in a webapp is a few lines of javascript and a few lines of html. In most native application development systems I've seen, it's 20 lines of code just to open the window.

To be fair, the web makes easy things easy and hard things impossible, whereas native desktop applications make easy things hard and hard things possible. But, I definitely see now why most developers prefer to build things in electron.
And furthermore, Google claims that their own training of models on YouTube data is permitted.
There are lots of things that are not simple reproductions that are not fair use.

If I take ten of your copywritten photographs and stack them on top of each other in Photoshop with transparency, the output is not a simple reproduction of your work. If I sold that for commercial purposes you would be upset with me and likely have a copyright case.

That's an obvious example, but my point is there aren't super clean-cut definitions for these things, and it's not settled case law yet which side current AI training and content generation falls under.
the tidbit didn't work though, I just tried with GPT-4o
I imagine data laundering (?) is common.

E.g.: Nike needs to produce a large amount of clothes. They hire an oversea company who commits to the order. They set strict rules -- no child labor, certain quality controls, etc... This company then subcontracts anyway possible and delivers the order, gets paid, and dissolves. Messy but Nike's hands are clean.

With AI, same thing but with videos and other forms of data.

Hence why a question "did you train with Youtube?" to a certain CTO is so difficult to answer.
> How many of the YouTube channels depend on fair use themselves?

IANAL, but recording portions of copyrighted content or using excerpts thereof is covered under fair use.

It is not yet known whether reproducing copyrighted content in substance or style using generative AI is covered under fair use.
For someone that is from the Ruby world and uses rbenv / bundler confortably, what would be the canonical way of using / managing Python in MacOS?

There seems to be a sea of alternatives and I see every tutorial mention `pip install` while I don't even have that running in my CLI (only pip3). Do people assume an alias here of I have somehow messed up my environment?
You write "we" but I've never been approached by any company to talk about the trade-offs I'm willing to accept. I don't think companies do that sort of thing, but has that been the case with you?

One could argue "well, vote with your wallet then", but there's overwhelming evidence showing that people choose cheap over any other quality of a product, also, sometimes there's not even the possibility of a choice to be made.

What solution would you propose, then, around this?
I loved listening to Lehrer on Dr Demento when I was growing up so I jumped at the opportunity to take his class, "Nature of Math", when I was an undergrad at UCSC. It was great- I learned a bunch of interesting things about math (cantor diagonal proof, pigeonhole principle), all delivered by a witty fellow. Alas, he never sang for us in class.

The other math classes I took were History of Math by Ralph Abraham (a chaos mathematician), which was held in the quad (basically an old stone quarry turned into an amphitheatre), making it a lot like hearing a lecture in ancient greece. And Cybernetics with David Huffman, which kicked my ass but I never forgot the lessons I learned.

> I could also build an entire custom kernel from source, but Rabbit Inc. has chosen to violate the GPL2 license and not make the sources available. Of particular note are their drivers for hall-effect scroll wheel sensing, and camera rotation stepper motor control, which are closed-source and yet statically linked into the GPL'd kernel image. Violations like this are hugely destructive to the free software ecosystem, from which companies like Rabbit Inc. benefit.

GPL requires you to disclose the license and source code on request, but Truth Social got away with not disclosing the license until someone realized they were using AGPL code, and only then released the source. I wonder if Rabbit will slip by doing the same.

I tried reading the article with the GP's comment in mind. For most of the sections it didn't feel like there was anything that would flag it as LLM generated for me.

But when I got to "How to Start Self-Hosting?", which is the section I was most interested in, I got a strong sense of déjà vu.

Reading this section felt exactly like I feel when I hit a bad prompt on ChatGPT. I feel I'm being given a huge dump of keywords but nothing that lets me make any progress. Reading it I felt the same frustration I do with ChatGPT as I have to prompt it again with "Can you elaborate on bullet point 6" to get anything useful out of it.

With ChatGPT the reason is usually a prompt that was either too broad/open-ended or a difficult topic for ChatGPT to answer. And it has a tight limit on how long the answer can be, which is understandable. For an article though it feels a bit jarring and there is no immediate way to ask for details.

I think the rest of the article is fine really. Sure the word of caution is exactly what LLMs do but unlike LLMs, which usually state the obvious, it has a lot of useful information.
You know what game is it though. You know where they are getting their sources from.

As much as I hate react videos, at least the situation is the same. You know where the source is from and can go to the original if you wish.

I used to be co-owner of an NFL fantasy prize league company (before Fanduel et al came along and put us and all of our competitors out of business). After a decade of seeing thousands of users create an manage teams for an entire season I'd say it's probably more skill than luck but luck plays a much bigger factor than people are willing to admit.

The biggest problem with leagues is everyone in the league remaining involved even when it's obvious they're out of the playoff race. This can lead to lopsided victories later in the season and change playoff seeding. This can be just as impactful as any injuries or bad weeks and the like. It was a constant challenge for us and is something the daily leagues don't have to worry about.

The fantasy playoffs are probably the most pure form of NFL fantasy leagues but that is also very dependent on who the opponents are for each of your players those last couple weeks and who is even avail to play given players being rested or injured later in the year.

In some ways this actually isn't a whole lot different than the actual NFL. That said we did seem to see the same people every year win more often than others, so it's not all luck.
That's assuming the money made by internalizing the externalities is used to benefit those who would otherwhise be negatively affected by them.

It'd be a worse situation if the money is spent, for example, running campaigns for the next elections.

A better arragement would be for the affected people to receive the tax payments directly.
Google's moat is deep ranks of machine learning engineers and top flight SWE talent, coupled with probably the best infrastructure in the business. Their data moat is weak, the data they can actually train on is mostly public, and people trying to prevent scraping are always on the losing end.

Meta is the one with the huge data moat.

Matt needs to stop this "I know better than you" attitude.

If you don't mind sharing, what were some of the first red flags that you noticed in the codebase? Looking at all these jailbreaks and vulnerabilities visible from the outside, I'm sure they only scratch the surface.
As you scroll down, it gets worse.

"Bonus: Legacy Outdated Python Usage Warning Signs" was a helpful list of things to look at, but I disagree with many as best practices. I like when code from the year 2000 still works, and you do that by using standard packages.

The chase for the latest / greatest means bitrot and is the sign of a junior developer. You save a bit of time in the short term, but a new latest / greatest comes out a few years later.

The conclusion is a bit weird too. That kind of rant is what leads to no-hire decisions. Be careful what you put online.
As much bad rep as schools get nowadays, if you get into a good university (think of top 50 in the world), it will open up a lot of doors for you. Very anecdotal, but I have open offers from people whom I know from uni years. Connections matter, especially in bad market days. Everything else (bootcamps, diploma mills and etc.) are just noise though, I would say it’s not worth the money.

It’s also easy for me to say, as I have about 10 YOE, but I would still prefer a candidate who went to a rigorous school. Mostly because it’s an indicator that they can figure out and learn whatever is needed.
It must have been a very brief point because I do not remember it, despite being very familiar with Napster.
I think what really sizzles me is that some of these same companies helped develop such strict enhancements to copyright to begin with in the realm of software. So I'm not falling for the crocodile tears when they get caught in the very snare they used to litigate thousands of other companies for and bully potentially millions more with just because now it's more profitable to tear it down. Made your bed...

And yes, regardless of results I agree there should be new laws made. But we know Congress in the US this year has been a roller coaster, to put it lightly. And I don't even think this is top 5 of what congress needed to codify into law properly. So all the short term work will be the judicial branch interpreting what few laws we do have.
No, humans are not Python programs running linear algebra libraries, sucking in mountains of copyrighted data to use at massive scale in corporate products. The fact that this question comes up in EVERY thread about this is honestly sad.
This is true; however, based on my experience the interviewers are usually very dissatisfied to discover such "one simple trick", the implicit expectation being that you are expected to gruel through the problem without abstractions.

This part has been always funny to me, because the same interviewers also simultaneously expect knowledge of abstractions in their "low-level design" phase of the interview, where irrelevant abstractions are added in to satisfy some odd constraint that would never come up in the real world.
It's an open secret. The only thing missing is the clear evidence.

To the OP: I'm certain you're an experienced and seasoned programmer, but your CV (on your website: https://matt.sh/files/a-resume/resume.html) is an example of how not to write one.
