Don't do this. Nearly all cancer tests are overly sensitive, and not great at detecting the cancers you care about (the ones that will progress).

If you run out and get a bunch of random cancer tests, you are basically ensuring that you will get unnecessary and painful treatment for a finding that probably wouldn't have harmed you in the first place.

It's not a satisfying answer, but it's true. The reason most cancers are found late is because there's no effective alternative.
What do you mean they didn’t do it manually?
Ok now explain to me why exiting the YEN/USD trade affects overwhelmingly the tech sector.
The "the Ukrainians wanted to negotiate, but NATO wouldn't let them" line is definitely standard tankie propaganda.

And lo and behold, within literal seconds of putting forth this perfectly straightforward observation -- which granted might sound slightly, vaguely controversial, but really isn't to anyone following the basic event chronology of this conflict (and the various false narratives that people keep mindlessly repeating about it) -- someone had to flag it.

"Being a truly good person by our own standards is hard to the point of almost being impossible."

My favorite trope, the snark knight.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSnarkKnight

Still, I don't think it is impossible. It just depends on the standards one sets. Some seem to be doing fine, being assholes. But I also suffer from setting my standards impossible high. But I cannot really change them without giving up myself.
I have also been obsessed with "Below the Root" since it came out.

Dale Disharoon/DeSharone had an odd insight into textures. Look at the ladders. Look at the vines, both those that can be climbed and those that can be cut with a "trencher beak". Look at the way the trees evoke growing wood. The visuals are much more evocative than should be possible at this resolution.

Dale also did a Disney-licensed Apple II game based on "The Jungle Book" which is similar in character to "Below the Root" and a game based on "Alice in Wonderland". Both are strange and mystical and full of odd vines that remind me of the patterns left by the cellular automaton "Langton's Ant".

All Dale's games were unfair and opaque but that was the state of the art.

Thanks for the downvote and missing the point. I decided to read the article and was largely responding to the following:

>"I'm a Gen X-er," says Beal. "We lived to work. Generation Z works to live. They work to enjoy life, to experience life, to travel. They have a completely different mindset

Which is more a point about the current culture than about the state of economy.
>Here in Argentina, in some places there were a few types of fraud, for example chain voting

Thanks for pointing out another vulnerability of in-person voting that mail-in voting doesn't have, due to its distributed nature.

Chain voting is something that's only practical to organize when everyone in the group is voting at the same place and at the same time, so the chain doesn't need to be coordinated in advance.

As long as people know what kind of guy to look for outside, they know there's quick money to be made.

Good luck coordinating a vote buying scheme with enough people to skew the vote by mail without anyone finding out.

>With remote voting, nobody can check that people is alone when voting.

Neither can any other system of voting, including in-person voting.

And if the person is truly on their own in the room, and they truly only have one ballot... they can snap a picture of their ballot to show how they voted.

The problem isn't "being alone" when voting, the problem is buying votes - and it's solved by going after the money in any case.

With chain voting, the schemers also have no way to verify that their pre-filled ballot was actually used (and didn't go into the trash bin). It works because the voters themselves are corrupt and lying to the state, but honest to the people who pay them - in which case the voting system is neither the problem nor the solution.
Would you mind sharing a link to the service?

How are people getting their data into your system? "A lot" to me means petabyte-scale, and no way you're transferring that into an external service through the Internet, so I'm going to assume your software includes an installer, or somehow integrates into my environment?

With the lackluster response, it seems like the problem you're solving isn't really a problem others have at all.

> in that case, a compiler still must set something up to fulfil the main `noexcept` promise - call `std::terminate()`

This is actually something that has been more of a problem in clang than gcc due to LLVM IR limitations... but that is being fixed (or maybe is already?) There was a presentation about it at the 2023 LLVM Developer's meeting which was recently published on their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMUeTaIe1CU

The short version (as I understand) is that you don't really need to produce any code to call std::terminate, all you need is tell the linker it needs to leave a hole in the table which maps %rip to the required unwind actions. If the unwinder doesn't know what to do, it will call std::terminate per the standard.

IR didn't have a way of expressing this "hole", though, so instead clang was forced to emit an explicit "handler" to do the std::terminate call
You can certainly farm in other ways, but it's a question of yield. High yield requires removing any competition to the plants you're cultivating - including milkweed. The fact that it's done with glyphosate is an implementation detail. If you want to produce the same amount of food with lower yield techniques you need more land - so more deforestation and destruction of natural habitats, which is hardly an improvement.
Many Android devices can be de-Googled. Also, let's not pretend Apple isn't spying on your iCloud account to protect the children.
FYI to anyone out there considering this- don't plant tropical milkweed:

"Another problem with tropical milkweed is that it harbors a one-celled parasite, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha, called OE for short. Because tropical milkweed does not die out in winter, the parasite does not die back either. Monarchs with large numbers of this parasite – which coevolved with monarchs and does not infect other species – are born with crumpled wings and cannot fly; the less infected are smaller, have shorter lifespans, fly poorly or are unsuccessful at mating. Only the healthiest butterflies reach overwintering areas in Mexico; butterflies with this parasite do not survive long migrations. "

But you do. You get to choose to buy into the other platform, which is significantly more open. If for some reason you choose not to, then you obviously don't value openness very much.
I am, it's not very much, and compared with the packaging for food in every market, it's just a rounding error.

The thing about growing food locally, is that you don't need individually package your apples in plastic. You just harvest it, then eat it, in it's healthiest possible form, while also not doing insane polluting.

Mobile is where WebGPU has the most extreme performance difference to WebGL / WebGL2.

I'm not convinced by any of these arguments about "knowing how to program in WebGPU". Graphics 101 benchmarks are the entire point of a GPU. Textures, 32bit data buffers, vertices, its all the same computational fundamentals and literally the same hardware.

Yep, agreed. I used to think Netflix had great UX (website and Android app), but they've gone downhill so much over the years. Months ago I started seeing recommendations for weird games (some of them seemingly kinda sexual?) showing up in the very top spot of the app. More recently, Netflix has somehow decided that I'm not "home", and I've fallen into their password-sharing trap, even though I'm not sharing the account. I really need to just cancel Netflix; it's just annoying and a waste of time to deal with this crap.

> But "sailing into the west" is not a metaphor for death, Valinor is not a metaphor for heaven

Tolkien wasn't a fan of allegory that's for sure and you won't find a 1:1 between his fictional works and his own religious beliefs but a devout Catholic like him was definitely channelling heaven as the new glorified Eden to some degree when describing the "undying lands" that were lifted up into the heavens after the corruption and treachery of Numenor and ruled by the great spiritual powers that rule as stewards for the Creator. The movie did paraphrase, and perhaps I'm wrong but I don't think its something that Tolkien would have been offended by.
It's actually really important that uniform_int_distribution is implementation defined. The 'right' way to do it on one architecture is probably not the right way to do it on a different architecture.

For instance, Apple's new CPUs has very fast division. A convenient and useful tool to implement uniform_int_distribution relies on using modulo. So the implementation that runs on Apple's new CPUs ought to use the modulo instructions of the CPU.

On other architectures, the ISA might not even have a modulo instruction. In this case, it's very important that you don't try to emulate modulo in software; it's much better to rely other more complicated constructs to give a uniform distribution.

C++ is also expected to run on GPUs. NVIDIA's CUDA and AMD's HIP are both implementations of C++. (these implementations are non-compliant given the nature of GPUs, but both they and the C++ standard's committee have a shared goal of narrowing that gap) In general, std::uniform_int_distribution uses loops to eliminate redundancies; the 'happy path' has relatively easily predicted branches, but they can and do have instances where the branch is not easily predicted and will as often as not have to loop in order to complete. Doing this on a GPU might be multiple orders of magnitude slower than another method that's better suited for a GPU.

Overzealously dictating an implementation is why C++ ended up with a relatively bad hash table and very bad regex in the standard. It's a mistake that shouldn't be made again.
What I meant was what it is as a practice, not how it is used. "Applied vs pure" anything could be defined as such and it's not particularly helpful, beyond showing you have a basic grasp of English.

>So, there's no art since photography was invented.

I don't know what you mean. I don't think photography lacks artistic merit intrinsically, if that's what you're getting at, although it's often more difficult to make art out of photography when you don't control the subject.

>Or, the perfect art is the white noise on the TV (exactly recreating noise is outright impossible).

White noise contains information, but no meaning, and was not made by a human, therefore it's not art and has no artistic merit.

>And yet, there has not been a Black Square before Kandinsky. Nor a painting featuring Campbell soup cans before Warhol (and if you see one, you'll immediately think Warhol). Weird, isn't it?

I've re-read this paragraph like twenty times and I'm still not sure what to make of it. You do understand that you're looking back at history, right? From our vantage point, it's not up to chance who made those paintings. Kandinsky and Warhol did. There's no universe where someone else painted them instead and we're still having this conversation, because then that someone else did, and not Kandinsky and Warhol, and so you'd still argue that that someone painted them. I honestly don't know what point you're trying to make. It's obvious that whoever painted a painting, painted it; tautologies are indeed tautologies.
Seek absolution from your favorite bands, certainly, but I don't think you owe the "music industry" anything. They're leeches, plain and simple.

For context, the total mass of a standard M67 fragmentation grenade is ~400g, including a 180g of actual explosive. So this is like a third of the standard payload of the e.g. DJI drones dropping grenades onto foxholes.

My initial expectation was that the cable would upset their mass budget, but honestly, that's pretty minor as these things go. Certainly, bigger boom > smaller boom, but smaller boom >> incomplete boom mission.
British Airways frequently has flight in the air at the same time with the same flight number. For ATC these are typically identified with a letter at the end of the flight number like BA 123E or BA 345Y.
Jake, I have read your previous posts and am deeply saddened to see this post; if there are LOTR references to be made then perhaps the part in the Appendix where Aragorn tells Arwen that "beyond the circles of the world there is more than memory" can be mentioned.
Odd Lots, it says its about finance, markets, and economics but it's super broad. For example they have a really interesting episode about how the Ukrainian postal service operates during the war, interviewing the guy who runs it. Also lots about housing, power, etc (and of course hedge funds, AI, trading)

Seeing the creative ways developers got around Apple's rules, which were even crazier back then, was interesting. I recall downloading HandyLight, a supposed app that lit up your screen in different colours... that was actually a secret mobile hotspot app that allowed wifi tethering before Apple did. Everyone had to scramble to download it in the narrow slice of time between word getting out what it did, and Apple removing it.

I had fun Jailbreaking too and installing Cycorder so I could record video on my iPhone 3g. Good times.
It's insane the length we go as humans (in the US at least) to not invest in the easiest, most cost-effective and environmentally friendly mode of transportation: trains.

Hyperloops, wider and wider highways, now personal airplanes.

Anything but goddamn trains.

It's mental to me.

Wish the best to the startup, after all they are filling a void someone else would, but still, not happy with the direction transport is going, which seems backwards sometimes.
I wanted to do this too and was in a financial position to start lessons. Had raced cars in the past, rebuilt cars, mechanically savvy, fiddled around a whole heap with flight simulars, got excited about it. Paid my money for the initial 3 flights.

First time up (in a Cessna) beautiful clear day, low wind. Once we had done the safety checks I was instructed to taxi the plane. It was about as complicated as a ride-on mower and the throttle pull I swear is identical. No problem.

Instructor took over and punted the plane into the air. I was terrified. As I've written here before, a Cessna is like a Volkswagen Bug that somebody has thrown into the air. They shudder and shake and dip and every tiny pocket of turbulence throws them around. I completed the lesson without conveying my terror, did the turns, was able to identify stuff on the ground. Instructor landed the Cessna and I thanked him and told him I wouldn't be back.

I bought a motorcycle instead. They feel safer.

A ton of athletes have ADD, asthma, allergies or some other kind of condition that just so happens to mean they’re allowed to use prescribed PEDs when competing.

I still struggle to see the harm, or what a remedy would aim to fix. Of all the possible antitrust fights to pick (Comcast, Apple, Meta, etc.), I'm not sure this would even make my top 10.

Google search is still the best out there. If you want to use a another web search, the switching cost is lower than almost any other product/service (e.g. compared to OS, cell phone network, ISP, etc.). Competitors like Microsoft, Apple, and Meta have ungodly amounts of money, but have barely tried in web search.

Despite Google being a more open and better web citizen than most other players, they have still been hit with actions on the Google Play Store and search. It's hard to make sense of.
Asus is the hidden gem in quality laptops.

Mozilla is effectively being subsidized by Google for the sake of an illusion of browser competitions.

I've been planting milkweed for monarchs. We just had 4 hatch today! Another 11 in their chrysalis and 12 hungry little caterpillars.

The biggest pest I've seen personally has been flies. Tanchid flies will lay their egg inside the caterpillar and the larve eats the caterpillars from the inside and they die. So we round up caterpillars we see on our outdoor plants and place them in a protected mesh enclosure with potted milkweed for them to eat.

In 2021 I successfully raised 81 monarch caterpillars to full grown butterflies. In 22/23 we still had some success but I didn't have a garden so we raised 10-20 wild ones. But 2024 we have a house now and a big garden full of milkweed!

Make sure to plant native milkweed in your area!

I sold my startup, I'm now bored. I'll coach you on scaling sales for free
I am a Techstars mentor, former Chief Revenue Officer for a tech scale-up (now a unicorn), and most recently, founder of a startup I exited a few months ago. I started that venture from scratch, achieving seven figures in the first nine months with a junior team of three. Overall, I have 20 years of experience in tech sales.

Today, I'm searching for my soul and exploring what's next. Call me a recovering founder if you wish. I'm excited to do things I enjoy without focusing on their commercial aspects, instead seeking personal fulfillment. I'll think about money at some point, but it's not a priority right now.

So, I'd be happy to coach up to three tech startups, aiming to transfer as much knowledge as possible regarding sales management, revenue operations, and growth (excluding marketing specifics).

I'm a good fit if:

- Your startup has between 15-80 employees, or if you're bigger than that and still don't have a strong C-Level sales leader in place. The things we discuss will require effort on your part to implement, so you'll need resources.

- You're struggling with scaling sales, your sales process is all over the place, you don't understand how to get to the next step.

- Your product is tech/SaaS and vertical-specific.

- You're not a generic software development company

- You're B2B, and you sell to Enterprise or SMEs.

- You don't come from a sales background and don't have an experienced VP of Sales on your team. Or maybe you have a sales background, but your approach a bit rusty and you lost touch with modern sales and tools.

As much as I'd love to help if you're just starting out, my knowledge isn't an asset for solopreneurs or indie hackers.

The reasons why I'm doing this:

1. I'm soul-searching.

2. I'm exploring future new business ideas around sales consulting, and this exercise might give me some inspiration.

3. I want to reconnect with the founder community.

4. I genuinely f*king like it

If you're interested, please send me an email to "revenuecoaching@gmail.com" and include the below:

A) Company URL

B) N. of employees

C) ARR range (e.g. $200-500k, $500k-1M, More than $1M)

D) A line or two of what you're struggling with (e.g. I'm a tech CEO, I need sales guidance OR I'm a VP Sales but I need support scaling and with revenue ops OR we're an SMB and we feel our sales process is outdated OR I'm a CEO and my VP Sales just quit, etc.)

Point C is optional but, again, it will help me assess if I'm relevant to you or not, before we even get on a call. The topics I will advise you on will require resources and investment to translate into practice. If you're making less than $500k a year (or have raised less than $2-5M in VC money), you might find my help irrelevant to your stage.

I'll get back to you ASAP if I see a fit. If I don't, I'll let you know why.
