Intelligent Platform Management Interface

Most severs have a management microcontroller in them that is capable of administoring the main system, typically including (but not limited to) full keyboard video and mouse access.

Typically this is exposed through a dedicated ethernet port, allowing administrators to remotely manage their servers.
What makes you think everyone would adopt that attitude? Plenty of people today risk losing decades of their lives doing those things in addition to more risky ones like rock climbing. Why would centuries instead of decades change that?
> PC .. IPMI

Since IPMI is usually on servers, did you mean Intel vPro / AMD DASH for PC clients?
How old you want to go? The first option I see on Server Auction is a €38/mo i7-6700, roughly 9 years old. An equivalent 14th gen would be the i3-14100, with 33% [1] more performance. Assuming this would be the server’s last customer, Hetzner might be decommissioning 12-15 year old hardware.

There is quite a big leap in energy efficiency between 6th and 14th gens. At some point they economically turn into space heaters.

Experience Base (2020) An essay on UX [pdf]
The dream is to live somewhere my kids can run around safely outside. It's maddening how hard that is to find, given that my kids are likely to be the ones who "dart" in front of some poor innocent driver.

This, in Davis, would be amazing. https://nstreetcohousing.org/
Bloke on the range goes into this in his video[1] on olympic pistol target shooting.

For him it helps to block his non-dominant eye as he has a weak dominant eye.

Also, the pupil responses are linked, so you'd want both eyes to be exposed to similar brightness. So you don't want to close it or wear a patch.

You’re thinking of a quantum jump. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quantum%20leap
There's a slew of detail missing.

The "fine detail" magnetic field changes throughout the day (like the tide) and the underlying pattern itself shifts such that a new "map" is issued every five years which is actually a spherical harmonic equation with a depth of 24 (IIRC) terms at least.

(Addendum: degree 12, my bad .. (or degree 790 if you're aiming a missile)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Magnetic_Model or

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Geomagnetic_Refe...

choose your model adventure, these are 'coarse' global models with five year epochs, see also:

The Enhanced Magnetic Model (EMM) is a sister product of the NGDC featuring a much higher amount of data to degree and order 790, giving a wavelength of 51 km as opposed to the 3000 km of WMM.

)

Ideally you also want nine sensors, one for each XYZ axis at three spread out vehicle locations: typically tail + each wing tip on an aircraft to get that mag flux differential across the craft.

It also helps to have ground base station that can record the diurnal flux (daily changes as the earth turns) from a fixed position to subtract from the nine readings on a moving vehicle.

Oh, yeah, heading also plays a role, so you need a Kalman filter formed from a butterfly wing motion pattern in order to subtract the field induced on a the craft by motion that varies with heading.

It's fun stuff.
from what ive read microsoft is partially liable for allowing crowdstrike to make updates the way they did, forcing updates and then not detecting and disabling the affected driver. maybe im wrong. seems like theyre finger pointing and that makes me think theyre guilty even more.
I'm guessing advanced alien civilizations have figured out how to live a much longer time. Immortality isn't a physically achievable goal, but death from natural causes doesn't have to be necessary with a deep enough understanding of biology.
> You’d still end up with any slightly dangerous activity being banned or discouraged. No bicycling, no skiing, no martial arts, etc.

I'm unconvinced. Humans' maximum age has barely budged over the millenia. What drove our increasing concern for safety was external to that. We also don't see evidence of increased risk taking as one's risk-adjusted remaining years decline.

Yes. This has been well known in the running community for decades.

There is a whole world of securities law that’s hidden behind client attorney privilege that each client uses to protect themselves from the SEC (and DOJ), but basically nothing has been surprising about how the SEC has fumbled in the crypto cases or in what the courts have ruled

and of people familiar with this dimension of yet unchallenged securities case law, this has been one of the criticisms of the SEC:

Nothing the SEC does can accomplish investor protection in the crypto markets.

Nothing the SEC does can accomplish the mission Congress set for it, in the crypto markets.

There are ways to leverage blockchain transparency for real time disclosures far beyond what is seen in the stock market, and investors already have choices in sticking with offerings that leverage onchain transparency better. A concept of government can help standardize this approach to help capital formation.

SEC enforcement on the teams and exchanges will only harm investors in liquidity and price discovery. I would say that the SEC making itself known has improved the quality of crypto offerings, but there is still a far better approach possible.
While I get the desire of folks to live forever, IF it is possible I still think it is a VERY long way off. All I advocate for is quality of life. It feels like every time we make an advancement, we discover two new things to solve. Eventually we will get there but it might be a lot longer road than we anticipate. Sorry Aubrey De Gray, I don't think this is something that can be solved for a billion dollars like he has claimed.

Eat your fruit, veggies, nuts and whole grains, but don't over do it on the food! Move it or lose it. Build bridges, don't burn them! I don't say this so you can have smaller pants or live an extra decade, that would be a neat side effect, I say this so that you can live a happy fun life as much as possible.
No it isn't. John Carmack found a tv ten years ago that had 200-300ms of latency due to all its post processing and wrote an essay about it.

That doesn't mean that it is "frequently" faster to send packets to other continents than change pixels on screens. It doesn't even apply to modern tvs set up for latency, let alone computer monitors.
> Do people really think that death is optional, and the problem is that we're opting into it?

It's material to the question of researching aging and longevity. A lot of people will come out singing death's praises.
I don't know if it's just my bias, somehow I feel that the response time of Firefox is longer than that of Chrome. Or maybe it's due to my lingering discomfort about a Netscape-era bug: after running Netscape for a while, Netscape may stop responding or crash. If it crashed, I would not be able to relaunch it unless I manually killed a hanging Netscape process. Netscape never fixed the bug and I ran into the same bug a few times after switching to Firefox, albeit a lot less frequently. I then switched to Chrome and never looked back.

> life has adopted this pattern of death in essentially every conceivable domain, every ecological niche

Biological immortality exists [1].

More pointedly, life hasn't "adopted" death, it's a consequence of thermodynamics. Where it can escape it, however, it has tried. From a "Selfish Gene" perspective, our genes aim--to the degree they have aims--to be immortal. Our multicellular bodies are simply easier to replace than repair.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_immortality
The narrow mindedness of some of the comments on this thread is strange, especially on a site read by people with a supposedly open minded interest in the frontiers of interesting new technology.

It's absurd to think that one must be arguing for or desiring an infinite span of life just because they detest the shortness of the one we have as humans, and want to find a way around that natural limit. I or others might only want a few hundred or even a couple thousand extra years to enjoy ever more fascinating adventures, without ever seriously considering the idea of literally striving for eternity.

Yes, we have entropy, the current known limits of human biology and the laws of thermodynamics and so forth as superficial arguments against drastic life extension, but none of these at all firmly block the notion of humans developing ways to extend their lives by centuries or longer, even if not something like practical eternity.

Just in the natural world of today, there are animals like the giant tortoise, who live for over 200 years and spend much of that robust, sexually active and healthy, or the Greenland shark, which lives over 400 years and doesn't even reach adolescence until it's about 150.

Our current technology gives us no means of doing the same for our bodies, but the possible limits of technology and physics are nowhere near definitive enough for calling such a thing impossible. That alone and anything leading up to it would be an incredible improvement for so many lives that could be lived to a whole new degree of freedom and marvel for themselves and others.

And before anyone considers the very tiresome argument that multiple centuries of life would get boring, i'd suggest you internalize that yes, there are people who would have no trouble filling them with things that fascinate them to the very last minute of that extended existence.
I know you must know this, but for others reading, this also is not a static view, like in a video game, but the sights are 'swimming' around usually in a figure 8 pattern as your heart beats. It is not just a matter of getting a good sight picture, but breaking the trigger when things aren't perfectly lined up, because by the time the mechanism fires and the projectile leaves the barrel you will no longer be lined up. This is worse for air pistol due to the slow velocity of the pellet.

In other words it is not like you are holding a tiny dot in the exact center of a circle, it is a messy blur of trying to hold 3 things in alignment where the front sight is about as big as the entire bullseye (hence why you aim below, so there is white visible, you would otherwise obscure the target entirely.

If you do it well, you are consistently hitting something the size of the period at the end of this sentence from 10 meters away (again, air pistol).

> due to Google’s dark pattern to nag you to install Chrome anytime you’re on a Google property

I'm not sure if that's true. I switched to Chrome because Chrome felt snappier than its competitors. Its multi-process model made Chrome more robust. It's developer tool had better usability than Firefox's. And Chrome's extensions, at least initially, offered better experience and wider selections. Oh, Google's integration of Chrome with Google's identity system was a nicer experience too.
Evolution is what has made death mandatory. We'd be living much longer lives if it gave our species an evolutionary advantage.

For example, in many species, the male dies promptly after mating. Evolution has no further use for him, so his life is forfeit. In fact, survival of the progeny may be advanced by getting rid of the old folks.

The reason people live to be grandparents is grandparents turned out to be useful in ensuring the survival of the grandkids. Beyond that, off to the ice floe.

These ideas are not mine. See "The Red Queen" by Matt Ridley
https://www.amazon.com/Red-Queen-Evolution-Human-Nature/dp/0... for the various strategies around sex and mortality that evolution has produced.

Nothing says, however, that we cannot tinker with our genes to produce what we want.
A lot of athletes at the very top level use things that provide, at most, a microscopic edge - because a microscopic edge can be quite significant with people that close to their genetic potential, competing against comparable others. Take something like the buoyant body suits in swimming, which do genuinely provide enough of an advantage to have been banned. If a regular person wears one of those, it's not going to suddenly turn you into Michael Phelps. In all reality you would probably notice 0 difference in feel or results, but if you're doing laps with a delta time measured in the milliseconds, then yeah it can really make a difference. But for regular people engaged in regular sport, these differences don't matter and are not even generally observable.

If anybody likes bowling there's an example there at basically every bowling alley where a guy shows up kitted out in hundreds of dollars of top brand professional gear, custom ball(s), and everything - and bowls a 120.
> There's no way in recent versions to disable them AFAIK.

For a special case, it used to be possible to disable all notifications during set periods of time. Something like: Settings > Focus Mode > Set a Schedule > 4am to 3:59am Every Day. (So, during 1 minute of the day in the wee hours of the morning a notification could theoretically pop up, but in practice it never did.)

Of course, this blanket approach only worked if one didn't actually want any notifications at all from any app (including OS upgrade nags, or anything else).

But I used to compute that way. And it worked to prevent showing update notifications.

No idea if it works on the latest macOS versions, but it did not not too many years ago.

Of course, I do rely on notifications now, though...
From what I’ve read you need an absolute minimum of 10 virons for infection to happen.
Living for centuries or longer would be an entirely different thing. If the baseline assumption is that you’re going to live forever unless you have a dumb accident, I think society will ultimately orient itself around avoiding that possibility.

Of course you still might be a counter cultural movement against it, but if the powers running society are all centuries-old people, I don’t think that counter culture will have much institutional support.
They clearly mean “Windows machine,” not “personal computer.”
> Evolution is what has made death mandatory. We'd be living much longer lives if it gave our species an evolutionary advantage.

Thermodynamics makes death mandatory. Evolution set the timer to 100 to 120.
Unfortunately their strategy of being the smartest involves making sure no-one else can make better system on a Mac.
I you are the only game in town, you are by definition the best.
True, they're both very good.
Usually when a study is halted early it’s because of obvious harm to the experimental group from the treatment which means there would be no possible benefit and it would make continuation unethical.

A meta analysis of early stopping in randomized clinical trials has found no evidence that early stopping hides side effects or inflates benefit—and I challenge you to produce any examples of a phase 3 trial of an infectious disease treatment that was stopped early which later showed unduly harmful side effects for marginal benefit.

This trial showed 100% efficacy.

A major consideration of RCTs is also the benefit denied to the public by withholding a viable treatment. HIV remains a global epidemic with no existing good solutions for poor countries.

A key difference though: someone walking can stop in place and potentially work around a collision in a very limited time. I'm imagining someone flexing in to avoid a small kid they didn't see coming for instance.

That's pretty manageable when we're walking, but basically impossible when riding a vehicle (at best we stop within the machine's braking distance, including our reaction time until pushing the right button).

Then when a collision occurs, it will be the luggage's hard surface hitting first, compounded with the weight of the rider on it. Compared to person vs person collision, that probably hurts a lot more. Same way it's worse to get hit by a cart than by bumping into someone.
I've been pretty deep into competitive fencing (B rating?), which is a pretty gear heavy sport (but mostly around the whole "not dying / going blind" angle). I also have a master classification in bullseye rifle.

Rifle competition has a staggering amount of kit. It's bonkers. Special jacket, pants, underclothes, shoes, blinders, gloves, slings, a rifle that is like a space gun with adjustable weights and pieces all over. Most serious 30 rifle competitors will have three separate stocks to reconfigure the rifle on the fly between positions. Special kneel rolls, special mats, $1000 training cameras. You have this special tripod for holding the rifle between shots, and all your pellets (or cartridges if it's smallbore or high power). If you're not shooting electronic targets, you have a whole separate tripod and sighting scope to see shots & scores.

When I go to the range I'm lugging no joke like 50 pounds of crap.

Bullseye pistol... actually not that much. Special eyewear if your eyes need it. Earplugs. And that's kinda it.

Olympic rifle is some insane gear race bullshit.

But then again, so is internationally competitive bicycle racing. Anything that doesn't have literal $$ caps on gear will end up that way.
As far as I can tell inside waterproofing is a bad idea, it leaves your foundation soaking wet, excess humidity indoors, and as you point out it doesn't alleviate the pressure from outside. Waterproofing the exterior, french drains deeper than the footings (all sides), and sump pumps... That should keep things dry but it's quite a process.
It gets much much worse than that at night (even as early as 7pm) so it would be pretty valid to not want to be in that area and have to leave the office and take public transportation. I wouldn't want my spouse or child to have to walk through that den of hell at night... it's extremely sketchy. Check this out for example: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-RuONoqOeP/?utm_source=ig_web_c...
Unless you have health issues, for single shots of small calibers you should be far more accurate with one hand compared to two.

A 6 inch .44 Magnum revolver or such beasts is a different story.
While I don't think it will happen in our lifetime, I agree with you. I could definitely fill a thousand years comfortably.
> Plus, I can't think of a scenario where, once this technology exists to extend life indefinetly, the state's monopoly on power won't turn into a dystopian monopoly on life.

And the wealthy’s monopoly on wealth will only consolidate.

It reminds me of two quotes:

“Science progresses one funeral at a time” (paraphrasing Planck’s principle).

“[…] Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. […]”

That’s probably what worries me most, when it comes to extended or unending lives.

The presented bit pattern is a reserved opcode in both RVV 1.0 and 0.7.1, in quite different ways.

It is possible that in some future RVV 2.0 or 3.0 this bit pattern might represent `vse128.v` but it is at least equally possible that it won't -- there is no clear pattern

In RVV 0.7.1 / XTHeadVector it is complete nonsense to call it `vse128.v`. There is no room in the width encoding for additional sizes. There isn't even an encoding for 64 bit elements. And the instruction naming style is quite different, with totally different semantics in the event that the load/store element width is different to the `vsetvl` element width:

- `vse.v` Store using the element size from the `vsetvl` (i.e. just a raw bit for bit transfer)

- `vsb.v` truncate elements to 8 bits while storing them

- `vsh.v` truncate elements to 16 bits while storing them

- `vsw.v` truncate elements to 32 bits while storing them

THead has enumerated in their manual the differences from RVV draft 0.7.1. They amount to not implementing the `EDIV` feature (which is optional anyway) and they add the `vlenb` CSR.

If the bit pattern used in this exploit is intended to be some THead extension then it is completely undocumented. More likely, it's just a completely accidental instruction from an undefined encoding that should simply trap.

The same problem could happen equally easily with a mistake in implementation of ratified extension.

I don’t think anything is going to be as devastating as 60%+ of Eswatini’s women between the ages of 25-39 being HIV+. Anything that can put a dent in that is going to far outweigh any potential risks and side effects. That whole country is going to be dead in 5-10 years unless they all get a daily dose of ART for the rest of their lives.

On a side note, that number is absolutely unbelievable considering that heterosexual intercourse has a 0.08% chance of infection. Do they all have 100s of sexual partners and tens of thousands of sexual interactions before they’re 30?
If the only way you could die was by physical accident, you don’t think people would do less physically risky things?

Historical examples are not really relevant, as getting older is not equivalent to getting older then dying and living forever.
>The main advantage of these federal agencies is that they were somewhat stable regardless of who is in charge. Career bureaucrats who just do their job decade after decade.

The main assumption you are making here is that these career bureaucrats are not at all partisan, which is a pretty bold assumption to make. I'd like to see some evidence that this is true. That aside, if Congress isn't delegating something to the executive that's their fault. Write better laws. These people are mostly lawyers anyway. What, they forgot how to do it on the campaign trail?
> there's sites which can't display static text without js

as developers, we understand how stupid that is and the utter insanity of javascriptium that got us there, but how is that a selling point? If I install that extension, I get a degraded experience and I get to be judgey because the framework the developer(s) they hired used some bit javascriptium that doesn't degrade nicely. am I supposed to feel smug that I've figured that out? why would I want to make things worse for myself? just for some small sense of feeling better than other people?
