No one is comparing year over year, there's been barely a year since the acquisition. I said the "arrow" over the latest few quarters was generally UP, in response to a mistaken argument that Twitter/X has collapsed. I am not trying to say Elon is great or something like that, I am making an observation of what the charts say, that's all. I don't know if the charts are 100% accurate, but I have no reason to doubt either... Why anything that may be positive about X is so controversial, even something as uncontroversial as the direction of an arrow on a damn graph? People seem to lose all rationality over this guy, what the hell is going on?! Do you actually have figures showing completely different results?? IF no, why all of a sudden people are so completely skeptical of it?! Sounds like discussions about climate change: someone shows a chart with temperatures way up, all of a sudden everyone is an expert and points out it was higher 60 million years ago or whatever, or the data cannot be fully trusted because they learned in high school that these are just estimates or other crap on the same vein. It's embarrassing for the human race.
Second that.

I have tried to use Headscale with Tailscale clients and have been fairly successful in achieving a private P2P VPN. Since I have a lot of spare servers, was able to setup a GUI, Headscale server and configure Tailscale clients across different OS flavors. But it is not for the faint of heart or non-technical folks or for enterprise use. What I have implemented was for personal use and it has it's own pitfalls / troubleshooting stuff which actually consumed a lot of time and effort.

Is there an open source option with Firezone where I could try it out to have a head to head comparison (or if a comparison that already exists) or a guide that could be used for setting up one's own server and client apps for a self-hosted and self-managed solution using Firezone?

Please recommend / respond with the opinion of whether the thought process is worth it? Thanks.

I'm (somewhat) surprised to not see DeGray or his SENS mentioned in the article or the discussion. I thought he and his approach gradually moved from the area of crazy science to (at least) one of the approaches attracting attention from some more mainstream researchers?

After all the "Hallmarks of Aging" (2013), more or less mainstream research article published in "Cell", looked at the aging process from a similar perspective.

If I understand correctly, at least one of SENS components - namely, AmyloSENS - is currently being targeted by a number of biotech startups, looking into use of senolytic drugs to clear up senescent cells.

DeGray himself is currently attempting a Robust Mouse Rejuvenation however from what I understand the results from trial 1 were more than modest, if not to say disappointing.

> Contrary to what npm states, this package actually depends on one of our aforementioned spam packages. This is a by-product of how npm handles and displays dependencies to users on its website.

For me personally, this is the biggest surprise and takeaway here. By simply having a key inside package.json's dependencies reference an existing NPM package, the NPM website links it up and counts it as a dependency, regardless of the actual value that the package references (which can be a URL to an entirely different package!). I think this puts an additional strain on an already fragile dependency ecosystem, and is quite avoidable with some checks and a little bit of UI work on NPM's side.
The first developer I ever worked with was very explicit, and I learned some important lessons from him. He had created a system in PHP that controlled printers and it was very explicit. He didn't know what a function was, his code had no functions. It was a 5000 line script that would run on a Windows timer, top to bottom. In some places the control structures were nested 17 deep, I counted; an if-statement inside an if-statement inside a while-loop inside a for-loop inside an if-statement inside a for-loop inside an if-statement, etc, 17 deep. The cyclomatic complexity was in the thousands.

I never could understand that code. I know it wasn't brief, does that mean it was explicit?

I think the truth is brevity and explicitness are orthogonal. Let me ask you this: can code be both brief and explicit? What would that look like?

And all those options are free, too!

I don't think his goal here is to demand that advertisers pay him, and claims like that are absurd on their face. "How ridiculous someone must be to demand third parties contract with them" yes, very ridiculous, which is why you should be skeptical of such a statement, and examine the veracity of such a statement and reconsider the credibility of anyone who frames what is happening in that way.

Their claim is that a ideologically motivated organization called the Global Alliance for Responsible Media was used to create an illegal cartel agreement between advertisers to shut them out. I think there's merit to that, this wasn't just independent companies deciding not to advertise there, this was a coordinated effort, brazenly so, people were cheering about it at the time. There's a case to be made at the very least, let's see how it plays out.

Crappy? I'm not so sure about that. I've lived at maybe 15 Southern New England addresses in my life and the three built after 1920 were the cheapest quality. And it's not like they were one in a dozen, or even 1 in 3: from cheap triple deckers to mansions, the area I live is packed full of buildings from that era. The knob and tube electricity has mostly been replaced, but most places I've lived still had gas lamp pipe nipples sticking out of the walls in the common hallways. The entire area is jam packed with buildings from that era.

While I applaud his openness and willingness to take accountability, I agree with others that resigning shouldn't be necessary.

Resigning is what you do when you are clearly not fit for your post. Jeremy has demonstrated that he is anything but unfit. People that can see where things went wrong, who can communicate such, can come up with changes to fix those issues, and can implement them are exactly what is needed at such a high level of management. Most people would bury the story or claim ignorance, but Jeremy doesn't hide anything and takes full responsibility.

I wish Jeremy could have stayed and used this honesty and insight to make the necessary changes. Firing a C-level executive when things go wrong doesn't fix anything any more than finding a low level engineer to blame and fire. Experienced people learn lessons by making mistakes. It sucks that it happens, but unexpected circumstances can't be foreseen. Hindsight is 20/20. Now that they know, they know to look out for it and to change the system to prevent it next time.

Perhaps he did overlook it. Perhaps he didn't respond when he should have. It's easy to get complacent. This is a wake up call. I have no doubt that he would be much more attentive and responsive as a result of this, and as such, be exactly what's needed for his post.

Mistakes don't call for sacrifices; they call for systematic changes to prevent making the same mistakes again.

Thank you Jeremy for being as forthcoming as you have been. I only wish more C-level execs would do the same. I hope you find a good place to land where you can take this experience and do an even better job. And I hope that whoever replaces you can bring the same rigor and professionalism that your brought.

Solid-state batteries will probably solve this problem. About twice the energy density of lithium-ion. The first products are just starting to reach the market. Yoshino sells solid state battery "power stations" (battery/charger/inverter in a box) via Home Depot, so it's finally real.

The major battery are frantically trying to get high-volume manufacturing of solid state batteries to work. Samsung is providing samples to car companies.[1] Volume production around 2027, probably at premium prices at first. CATL is also trying for 2027, and says that volume manufacturing is "challenging". Toyota says 2028. Many smaller companies also are making announcements.

So, not immediately, but it's past the vaporware stage.

My family and I moved to a house with 3/4 acre of land in late 2020. I knew I needed a chainsaw, so I bought a Makita 36V 16-inch saw with four 18V lithium ion batteries.

When I am not using the chainsaw, those batteries power 9 or 10 other tools that are necessary around my house and perform very well. The charger I got with the chainsaw package charges two 18V batteries as fast as they can be safely charged.

Around this same time, I bought a Honda gasoline-powered mower. The reason I went with a gasoline-powered mower and lithium ion power tools for other purposes was running time.

At the time, the gasoline powered mower was the only one available that would run for the time I need to cut the entire lawn.

Now, most of the lithium ion-powered tool brands have 40V/80V systems that are more powerful than their 18V/36V product line. If I needed to replace the Honda gas-powered mower, I'd probably consider an 80V lithium ion mower.

But most of the tools I already own couldn't use the 40V batteries, so I'd want to consider buying at least one other tool that powerful in order to capture greater value in the new battery and charger investment.
I got a Ryobi battery-powered chainsaw because I got fed up with the maintenance of gas-powered saws. I found I was spending as much time fiddling with the carburetor, changing fuel lines etc as I was sawing. I have two gas saws, a Stihl and an Echo, and I don’t think there was a single time I was cutting trees last winter that I didn’t run into trouble with both of them.

The electric saw just works. Yes, you need to have multiple batteries. Yes, it’s not great for big trees ( 40 cm or bigger diameter). But at least it runs.

Improved avionics should help with all of those aspects:

1) Continually recalculate fuel remaining upon landing at destination based on ground speed and burn rate. Warn if getting anywhere near reserves.

2) Show nearest filtered airports (those with runways that satisfy both airplane and pilot requirements (max x-wind). If IFR, further filter by approach preferences and if available current wx data against approach minimums.

I agree with you that what you describe is a common accident scenario but imagine a PPL could just hit a single button if they inadvertently enter IMC and the avionics provides a route and vnav profile to make it safely to an airport with low minimums? The most difficult part of flying IFR is that it takes a ridiculous number of button presses on most systems to accomplish that all while trying to also keep the plane straight and level.
Dunno much about the Amish. Communism was (in practice a power grab, but in theory) very much in favor of automation. Hyping LLM training without licensing original works and calling for banning copyright and patents is what reminds me of communism a lot these days. I saw someone call it "IP communism". Let's see how well it works for innovation;)

I am not against automation too. We all used autocomplete. But it is amusing to see people sawing off the branch on which they sit, encouraging each other to do so and spitting on people who point it out.

I don't believe in communism and I think anarchocapitalism is maybe as bad as communism.

I actually love the L3 toggle for sprinting. I think the first game I played that used L3 for that was Horizon, and the intuitiveness of the control just blew my mind. It seems to become a convention across games and I’m all for it.
I didn’t read it that way at all. If the keyboard without arrow keys had succeeded in setting the norm that developers rely on the mouse for input, then presumably it had done its job, and it was now safe to release a keyboard with arrow keys.
Nice. I wrote about a similar idea back in 2013 (https://jmmv.dev/2013/07/readability-explicitly-state.html) after I found that being explicit about all branches made my code easier to reason about and easier for reviewers to validate. Glad to find that this is “space shuttle style”!

I’ve always disliked how the Go style insists on removing certain branches at the end of functions, for example.

To be clear, in games that use L3 for sprinting, you usually don’t need to hold L3, it’s a toggle. I guess there are exceptions of course but THAT would be bad design.
