Just a note to anyone interested in trying out Home Assistant:

It's amazing _but_ do NOT use a raspberry pi to run it. Save yourself a ton of headaches and buy a mini pc (there was a list of used mini pcs posted here yesterday from ebay). Also I recommend using HAOS (or whatever the "we install and run the whole OS" option is called) so that you can use things like plugins without messing around with docker. I love docker but trust me, life is easier on HAOS.

I liked HA but felt like it wasn't really "stable". I used a Pi 3 for a while, then a Pi 4 decked out (highest ram, NVME storage, super nice case, etc) and still felt like it was unstable. I chalked this up to HA but then rolled the dice on a Beelink mini pc and it has been rock solid ever since. Also don't be misled by the lower price of the Pi, I paid more for my Pi 4 setup than the Beelink (or about the same).

I blamed everything from the Zigbee/Z-wave dongles, to HAOS, to HA itself, etc but in the end it was RPi. The 4 was the last Pi I'll ever buy.

EDIT: I was in a hurry and didn't add my normal disclaimer when I talk about the RPi's:

Yes I know some of you have a Pi 1 that been running you entire life since it first came out and you think I'm full of crap. I've owned every Pi 1-4 and never been truly happy with them. I bought them "raw" and sourced all the parts myself, I bought high-end (at least in price) kits with everything included, I bought all official accessories (like power), they always were just that little bit unstable.

It would work great for days/weeks then randomly not be reachable (wired or wireless). I spent just shy of $200 for my last "builds" which included a NVME drive (240G, lest you think this is where the cost was), RPi case, RPi NVME hat, RPi 4 8gb model, SD card, power, etc and the result was still instability. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe I'm a moron but my experience with them has not been great. That said I want to love them and I loved my RPi 1B even with all it's warts, a $35 "credit card sized" computer was awesome. Maybe I just don't want to tinker as much anymore and value stability.
I'm using SDL2 2.30.0. The main loop is pretty simple, it does a few SDL_RenderFillRects to create areas, then several SDL_RenderCopy where the source is a SDL_Texture created from a SDL_Surface using SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface that was loaded from files at boot. A final call to SDL_RenderPresent finishes it off. They do include an alpha channel however.

I was expecting the sprite blitting to be trivial, but it is surprisingly slow. The sprites are quite small, only a few hundred pixels total. I have a theory that it is copying the pixels over the X11 channel each time instead of loading the sprite sheets onto the server once and copying regions using XCopyArea to tell the server to do its own blitting.
I have similar feelings these days, but I don't think it's burnout for me. I still love programming and making cool stuff.

I think it's just natural cynicsm when you see what the industry does. Making you cross moral boundaries to keep a job, the realization that the best workers may not be guaranteed job security, that there so much cool tech but you may mostly be stuck with CRUD work for business, etc.

I'll still keep at it as I still have much to learn. But reality can be more disappointing than the dream.
Literally the first book I looked in, from an archive.org search for "ditchweed" , was "Domestic marijuana : a neglected industry" from 1992 with the following at https://archive.org/details/domesticmarijuan0000weis/page/56... :

> The potency of marijuana in the United States has, in fact, increased dramatically since 1970. Some suggest the more potent marijuana of the 1980s is a fundamentally different drug than that of the 1960s and 1970s. They argue that claims of marijuana’s relative safety are based on tests with the older, less potent product and that the "new" marijuana poses new risks (Inaba, 1987; Inciardi & McBride, 1989). While marijuana in the 1980s is more potent by as much as a factor of five, it is unclear whether this hurts or helps the health of the typical smoker. Users may become more intoxicated with the new marijuana, making them less safe drivers, for example. It is also true, however, that less smoke is inhaled to reach intoxication, which would clearly be a health benefit from more potent marijuana. However this question resolves itself, Mikuriya and Aldrich (1988) convincingly argue that highly potent marijuana has a long history of recreational use and that calling it a "new drug" is misleading. They also suggest that although new marijuana may be more potent per pound the practice of autotitration, or the self-regulation of doses, means that users are not necessarily becoming more intoxicated. This, too, is an issue that merits further study.
It is naive to suggest that it is equally easy for the general public to search the dark web for an illicit data breach vs. go to a a publicized website.

Hell, I am in infosec and it would probably take me a few hours or more to find raw data. A grandma can click a website on CBS and type a name.

Because they've allegedly gotten hundreds to thousands of people to pay up to $9 per month for basic string utilities as a subscription service, just about all of which are offered for free by a dozen other websites. Either they're padding out their subscriber count by a lot, they have some impressive functionality they aren't advertising, or these subscribers are getting ripped off. Also, comparing to archived versions of the pricing page, they've been ratcheting up the price over time.

Meanwhile, they're making some dubious claims about the security and privacy of their cloud browser service. Sure, your ISP might not see which websites you're visiting on it, but now they can go snoop on your browsing however they'd like, and read off all your passwords and whatnot.
It should if you have some semblance of professionalism. At work I don’t want to know nor want to know about the politics of the people working with me.

If I’m engaged in a business transaction I don’t care about the personal views of the person I’m buying or selling from. Call me old fashioned but the world used to be that way before the rise of social media addictions and the current online echo chambers in our society.

the US economy is one of the (if not the, depending on who you ask) strongest economy in the world - and we're not talking military economy.

To be fair, having worked for a company that was dealing with music licensing and having to investigate how to put stuff into a coherent format ... I'm not entirely surprised. Things like Dave (Eurythmics) Stewart having 10[1] different names (because it'd been recorded differently by different companies / publishers / etc.) (but they all have to resolve to him), restrictions like "Europe but not Germany for the 1993 version of song Y", and the whole difference between mechanical, master, print, performance, sync licenses etc. Spent 4 months working closely with a licensing veteran but was still utterly baffled by the time I quit.

There is a trivial solution to this. Store your own copy (or hash, or whatever) of the article and don't rank it until your copy is at least a month old.

The idea is still nonesense because some other search engine will show up without this restriction, and any news site would prefer to be listed there, rather than not.

Non sequitur. My loyalty is first and foremost towards God, myself, my family, my friends and extended family, my community, my ideals. It makes zero sense to speak of loyalty towards the state when the state interests are not only not aligned but sometimes diametrically opposed to the interests of its citizens. As a matter of fact nobody cares for the state interests except fools and those that benefit from it like state employees. Frequently not even the ruling party cares because their own interests are foremost and first and unlike a monarch they have a much lower time preference.

You talk of Musk but he is a drop in the ocean of foreigners influencing the domestic information sphere.

So much of this is hindsight bias though. There were no shortage of people with ideas and companies pursuing obesity drugs through a number of different pathways. Only in hindsight does it seem "genius" that Thomsen persisted and succeeded where nobody else did. But there are dozens, hundreds, of other smart people who were pursuing other pathways who did just as much stubborn work but didn't get a result. That's just pharmaceuticals.

Take, for example, another high profile disease - Alzheimer's. First there was the beta amyloid theory, then there was the p. gingivalis theory (this one was talked about so highly on this very forum, but ended in an equally high profile failure* of a pivotal clinical trial by Cortexyme). Now there are viral and metabolic theories. Each of these theories have a few dozen companies and armies of PhDs stubbornly pursuing a miracle drug, but so far it remains elusive.

* We also like to talk about "failures" of clinical trials, which is technically correct language, but evokes in the public imagination the wrong idea. A clinical trial failure doesn't mean there was something wrong with the idea or process (long before it ever gets there, a drug candidate would have been proven to be very effective in lab tests and animals). It's just that 90% of clinical trials don't end up working due to complex disease pathways and numerous unknown factors. It would help if we talked about "negative proofs" (i.e. proving something doesn't work is also valid), but it's not quite as catchy.

I don't see any hate. I do see useful information. Looking at the linked page for myself, and seeing a list of "Top posts" all of which are obviously ad-infested SEO gunge, I immediately learn that I cannot trust whoever made the page, because getting eyeballs onto their advertisements is more important to them than truth.

This doesn't have any particular implications for this particular page, and the "lucky 10,000" who had never before encountered the idea of converting between miles and kilometres using Fibonacci numbers will have learned something fun, which is great. But seeing the SEO bullshit tells me immediately that I am not going to want to (e.g.) add this blog to my feed aggregator[1].

I mean, it's basically inevitable, isn't it? Cultural heterogeneity is born out of isolation. If two groups of people are in constant contact, they'll never ever stop speaking the same language and having the same traditions. Conversely, if two originally distinct cultures start to interact regularly (even more so if closely) they'll eventually merge into one. People are more willing to give up on traditions and cultural norms than to have constant friction with their neighbors.
Oops. Early 96 if i remember correctly. Its been a while :)
Counterpoint: I've been running HAOS on an RPi 2 and 3 for several years without a single issue, and I do use a z-wave dongle but no Zigbee. I only do basic stuff with it (a few automations for my z-wave thermostat and switches, AdGuard Home), but it's been rock solid for me.

I only had issues once, when I tried to run the Unifi Network Application addon. A RPi is not strong enough for that, but I just uninstalled it and moved on.

A core belief that Anand and I have held dear for years, and is still on our About page to this day, is AnandTech’s rebuke of sensationalism, link baiting, and the path to shallow 10-o'clock-news reporting.

That’s the core of it. And too bad they’re off. Finding a news outlet that isn’t “tweeting” an article and isn’t a blog post on HN was great. And while they mention Tom’s hardware. It always felt (to me) less verbose where I needed it.

Sounds like an extremely prejudiced individual...
I don't think there's a good answer to that question, unfortunately. What we're doing now seems to be working for most people most of the time, but it'd be absurd to think there's no further room for optimization. And it seems unlikely that the best approach is more restrictive regulation, given that extremely-useful drugs are going undeveloped for decades.

So... that leaves more flexible regulation as a worthwhile approach going forward. I like the idea of making limited human trials easier to carry out and less costly in general.

I mostly agree, but found that HA isn't too bad on Pi if you don't continuously update the versions even if it suggests. I had a lot of trouble keeping a stable system until I just ignored them until I really needed to install on new system, etc.

You know how many office buildings have some kind of foul odor? Lots.
> The company I work for has an "individual contributor" career track for this reason.

I once worked for a large information company that had a split between technical career paths (individual contributors to architects) and managerial career paths (individual contributor to manager to directors). So I stated in my HR profile that I aspire a technical career track to make sure, and told my management.

A few months on, I was sitting on a beach in Croatia during a vacation with my now-wife when my phone rang, and my boss told me I was promoted to Director.
The reasoning was that the group I was leading would be taken more seriously if it was headed by someone who was himself at Director level, the same level as the peers that I would be doing projects for/with. Thankfully my team was small enough so I could stay reasonably technical, but I still envied the folks that "were allowed to write code every day" a bit.

^^ Here's an article written by Lotte Knudsen, referenced in the original post, that further tells the story of how GLP-1 was first developed into a drug (as liraglutide) and approved for human use. There were a lot of false starts and additional practical problems that needed to be solved in order to yield a viable medication.

After reading the OP I was surprised to learn that Novo Nordisk picked up the research only a couple of years after GLP-1 was abandoned by Pfizer, after which it took 5 years to develop the initial medication and another 12 years to make it through FDA approval. Even after all that, the primary indication was for diabetes. It took another 7 years for semaglutide to make it through approvals and bring GLP-1 into the public consciousness.

When you consider the amount of time involved, and the sustained investment required, it's difficult to fault the execs at Pfizer for their decision to shut the project down. Obesity wasn't nearly as prevalent then as it is now, and it seems likely they had funded the startup specifically because of the author's prior research into nasally-administered meds. It's even possible that the shutdown decision had little to do with the primary area of research.
To be fair, sometimes the "Japan is backwards" spiel is focused solely on their technology. And I don't think that one is wrong, even today. The keiretsus have continued to do a very poor job at innovating.

My guess is that this would be even worse for news sites as it would lower their overall traffic. Certainly seems to be the case in Canada. I don’t get the sense that search engines/fb/etc are the problem. Rather it’s 1) loss of classified ads and 2) competition from all the free content provided in blogs, posts, tweets and so on. Why pay to read an uninformed opinion piece when you can get it for free scrolling through your X feed?
