The challenge with medicine, if one is dealing with a known condition, there's a known intervention. And Any number of simple and straightforward tests will make it easy.

It's with the unknown conditions, that doesn't fall into the mental flow chart of a medical professional's mental model are SOL.

The real answer to most folk's chronic conditions are lifestyle interventions, but of course, medical professionals most difficult challenge is ensuring compliance. The only tools available for a medical professional to a patient is to beg, plead, threaten, yell, discuss the interventions till they are blue in the face, but unfortunately, you can lead a horse to water, but can't force them to drink.

The elephant in the room that no one wants to admit is that a lot of health issues are both self-inflicted through lifestyle choices, and it creates an negative feedback loop of demand for professionals to be able to truly have more time to care for the patients that truly need help.
Yes, you are right. I mixed up mode and median.

And yes, one would need to keep track of at least a key for each element (not a huge element, if they are somehow huge). But that would be about space complexity.
I used to work on GE's programmable logic controller product on the realtime OS side. PLCs are primarily programmed in ladder logic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_logic) and we had a full graphical UI to do that. IIRC (its been nearly 30 years) we also had a parser that parsed text based ladder logic diagrams to drive the OS tests.

We have no idea when that transition happened, though, and if it is related to the impact. The time from when these animals lived in the Jurassic to the impact at the end of the Cretaceous is considerably longer than the time from the impact until today, much could have happened inbewteen.

Or everyone is too exhausted from their daily grind to even consider doing so, which is honestly not very surprising.
CEO's get paid by shareholders, workers get paid by companies.

The money that workers bring into a company is often not being used at all to pay these CEO's. It's why so many CEO's have $0 salary or $200k salary.

It's a critical distinction because it clears up so much confusion people have about this topic. Those 300x multiple stories you see are almost always comparing two completely different income sources. You can almost think of it like a 3rd party is paying the CEO to run the company.
I'm not sure where it comes from just that it's a mildly humorous way of saying something completely failed.

Never think it's rude to ask though! :)
No, that would be contradiction. Do you try to imply that a country having a "dominant group" is something that would form an ethnostate?

Perhaps I lazily assumed the parent would refer to ethnicity when throwing the accusation of an ethnostate around? Which ethnicity would that refer to in your opinion? It should be possible to answer that question if the accusation is in any way substantial.

Some ethnicities (and religions for that matter) might have serious problems in the wider region. Many do flee to Israel for safety in that case. That is the reality here and I would say that this fact is pretty hard to dispute without pointing fingers at less fortunate circumstances that maybe lead to less tolerance than there is in Israel.

Why is that the whole point? A company needs enough revenue to pay its employees, but it doesn't need more revenue in any absolute sense.

"Just existing in the world, providing a service to customers and a wage to employees" is a fine and stable way for a company to exist.

"I don't like that the return values of the tasks has to be communicated with side effects, but I'll concede that it's quite painless."

Me neither, however, it is generally the most flexible approach and I can see why a library takes it. If you want to communicate it via the return, you also have to impose a restriction that the tasks all return the same type. I think it makes sense for a library to work this way because you can easily add this around the library call yourself, but it's more difficult to go the other way. (Not impossible, just more difficult.)

"I don't think async functions in JS can be cancelled though."

Poking around, it looks pretty hard.

That said, cancelling in generally is very difficult in imperative languages, so even as someone who finds async in JS quite distasteful I can't dock too many points. Go basically just reifies the JS solution into a standard community practice, which is definitely an improvement since you can largely rely on it being supported everywhere, but one could reasonably debate how good it is. It is occasionally a problem that if you want to cancel an ongoing computation you may have to have your code manually check a context every so often, because there's no "real" connection between a context and a goroutine.
I think I'd argue with both points actually.
Though it also depends on the nature of work that you do. I imagine good intuition with linear algebra is crucial for novel work. If you're implementing a model off an arxiv paper maybe not so much.

"Alexa order me Tide Pods"

This has many problems. Imagine you are watching a video clip when someone orders a sack of potatoes through Alexa. What is the chance Alexa will place the order?

Or say you wanted to order flour and got flowers etc etc.

Then pranks. Guests enter your house and say "Alexa order 10 packs of cheese!" and you have to rush to cancel it.

Then Amazon has a tonne of spam and rubbish products, what are the chances you get garbage shipped to your house and not the things you wanted.
Hey, Bruno from Inngest here, great question! Due to how Redis Clustering works, each individual slot (or keyspace) is assigned to a single shard (primary/read replica group), so data remains available.

More specifically, in production we're running multiple cluster shards in a primary/read replica configuration with support for automatic failover. Individual nodes are distributed across multiple availability zones (AZs) to prevent issues in one data center from impacting the entire cluster.

In case of downtime or maintenance of the primary node, the respective read replica is automatically promoted to primary, and writes can be continued within a few seconds.

Hope this helps!

Out-of-touch execs that don't know how people shop. They love the experience of having a personal assistant they can tell "buy some flowers for my wife," and they aren't price-sensitive. They happily trade off control over the exact purchase for the time savings.

From that point of view, a robot assistant that you tell "buy me one banana what could it cost ten dollars," and it automatically buys something from their store - that's a slam dunk.
Yes indeed that’s by far the best way out, but it requires orgs to do something. Whereas the existing “just works” (badly)

One of the selling points of Apple devices is that their software is [1] just _nice_ to use, letting you do what you need to do, without having to keep you in and monetize you otherwise.

Is Mail.app the most powerful client on earth? No; but it is Good Enough, and I don't have to download and pay for a third party app.
Is Weather.app the best weather app with all the bells and whistles possible? No; but I don't care about weather apps to download and trial fifteen other ones and It Just Works.

Maps are (orders of magnitude) more complicated; but arguably are also on the baseline level of functionality for a modern mobile OS.

And Maps.app is just so much _nicer_ to use than Google Maps. It has the same problems that all Apple products like it does (search is atrocious, POI db is bad); but it is just a much more pleasant product. It looks nicer, it _feels_ nicer, it has best-in-class transit directions, and doesn't shove ads in front of my face.

Physically weak, as in, what people expect when people say physically weak. We do not have good strength. We do, or at least can, as you say, have best-in-class endurance, but that's endurance, not strength.
Automatic curation doesn't have to be on the server side, much less by a centralized authority. An ML curation model won't even need the processing power used by client side LLMs these days.

All that said, my experience with mastodon is the opposite of what you described. I find the chronological feed to be always interesting and much less frustrating and emotionally draining than any curated feed that I know of. Members are a lot more considerate too. From the discussions there, I know that there are a lot of others who hold the same opinion.

I guess the interesting metric for Apple is how many of those are current or potential customers.
I don't think that this is true. There are plenty of businesses that make shitloads of money off of frustrating or downright crappy products because of captured markets, constrained customers, lack of transparency, and more.

Look at something like Dark Patterns. These make a business more money by making a product worse.

Outside of switching things up like using glass containers, enabling the body to detoxify itself and repair itself by ensuring that it gets adequate nutrition (daily) and exercise is the key.

But for a simple pill solution, consume sulfur. For as important as it is, it's not widely front of mind in the health space. So much focus on Vit D, Magnesium, Omega 3s, etc, which are all absolutely necessary.

Some great sources of pill based sulfur are Taurine, NAC, and MSM (methylsulfonylmethionine). My preference to recommend blindly as a general pill is MSM. But sulfur is key for the liver's detoxification functions to work ideally.

There's quotes flying around that say something like: 80% of the population (US or world) is deficient in X.

Usually X is omega 3's, Magnesium, Vit D, and also to add to the list, Sulfur is a huge one. Outside of being in a culture like Koreans that consume cruciferous veggies 3x/day (via kimchi), most americans only get it from meat, garlic, onions and broccoli. If one has brittle nails or hair doesn't grow as quickly, that would be the sign that something like MSM in pill form would be helpful. Otherwise, folks are probably fine if they are consuming daily amounts of anything containing sulfur.
Agreed.

The Wikipedia has more.

Different people learn and approach problems differently.

I haven't taken any programming courses since high-school. But I also very rarely use search engines or LLMs when I'm writing code, even in a language that is new to me.

My preferred approach to learning new languages or frameworks is typically to begin by reading the documentation. If that is not a sufficient enough deep dive because I'm approaching some ginormous "ecosystem" language like Java where I need to learn tons of new concepts to get started then I'll reach for a textbook.

I have tried to get into using LLMs, especially because so many of my coworkers rave about them and they take it for granted that everyone else uses copilot or claude because they use them so much. But I don't find any utility in using copilot (or whatever the JetBrains equivalent is) and I've found that LLMs in general are so hit or miss for me that they have become my last resort for searching for information when all else has failed.

My coworkers often talk about how copilot is like a very advanced auto-complete and that it saves them having to look things up on StackOverflow and copy/paste from there ... but I can probably count the number of times that I've looked something up on StackOverflow over the past 10 - 15 years on one hand, and I've never copy/pasted any code .. not once, ever. Typically I find myself actively searching for solutions when I've come across some weird compiler or framework error that I've never seen before and need to search for that specific error string (in which case a traditional search engine beats an LLM 10/10 times).
On iPhone I only see Signifcant Locations; on my phone I only see a list of 3 places (despite 400 records). Compared to Google Timeline it’s much more curtailed function.
The Maps application on iOS used to use Google Maps. But then Google started to collect too much user data and withholding features like turn-by-turn navigation (while making it available on Android).

>> optimizing for making a company that makes the workers' lives better

Companies should not deliberately make workers lives bad. But, optimizing for the worker seems fundamentally unworkable as this would essentially mean financial independence at the time of hiring followed by bankruptcy.

The feedback we get is SwiftUI is half-baked while the newer Android stuff is a lot more stable.

OTOH, Apple does a better job at handling things like languages, currencies, and all those experience, whereas Google is notoriously unreliable despite all the best practices. It's common practice to just "force" the wrong locale on an app to handle translations because a user's device would be English-US and yet someone wants the display in another language. OR someone wants a certain local currency in the form of 1.000,00 and not 1,000.00 (which also wreaks havoc with BigDecimal etc) and yet they'll keep the language and formatting as English and you'd have to do some override. We spent weeks on things like this and the iOS solution would just be "use device settings lol"

> If your preferred method of changing program behaviour is directly editing bytes of machine code in unstructured RAM while the program is running, then yes, the fact that it's a Von Neumann architecture does give you that "the program is data" duality.

On some platforms, e.g. the Commodore 64, it wasn't uncommon to write self-modifying code, which is exactly what you describe. The fact that code can be data also seems somewhat clearer if you've ever had a use for structures of function pointers in C, or if you've manually written jump tables or directly-threaded interpreters in assembly.

But, IMO, those aren't as interesting as the "code as data" model in Lisp, because in Lisp, it's the high-level code that's reified into its own untyped data structure, which makes it a lot more flexible and powerful than the literal bytes of machine code that Commodore 64 programmers modified at runtime.

Yeah, I'm as surprised as you that people have been saying ClownStrike Falcon was good.

I guess the people saying that are security folk who look at things from a high level place of some sort (?). Because they don't seem aware of (or don't care about) the many problems it causes on the servers it gets deployed to.

I read the book. It is decent and has practical advice. The book is a mix between basic scientific explanation, stories of real people, and practical advice. For doctors who run a facility that focuses on cognitive decline.

This isn't an attack on humans. It's only to be expected that given all the other stat maxing we've done we need a dump stat somewhere, to borrow gaming terminology. Our list of attributes that is either simply the best, or very competitive, is quite absurdly long.
i don't know, i think the term is very understandable and fitting. everyone knows what kamikaze planes were, so when they hear the term 'kamikaze drone' they know it must be about a drone sacrificing itself through a planned, destructive collision.

i actually disagree more with your suggestion of calling them 'cruise missiles', as that's an actual current-day term which is actively being used to describe weapons in current conflicts. they're self-navigation missiles cruising to their target.

most of the 'kamikaze drones' we see in ukraine are being flown by humans, the only reason the operator doesn't die is because they're controlling it remotely/virtually.

i get what you mean, however i don't understand why it bothers you so much. lots of terms and words we use are not 100% accurate but understandable because of a shared context.
If you read other forums, what used to be a quick and efficient boarding process has gotten out of control and the efficiency has disappeared.
