That's easy to say now, but it will be little comfort when you're watching from your hospital bed as your younger clone holds your wife's hand while they both watch the doctors pull the plug on your obsoleted body.
As I watch people around me reach their senior years, it increasingly seems like life is "use it or lose it" with your body and brain function. If you really want to extend your "healthspan" it seems the correct solution is to do full-body work-outs a lot, eat a really clean diet, avoid drugs, and keep using your brain actively into your 80's and 90's.
Yet, as mentioned elsewhere in this same comment chain, they're almost certainly overvalued and in a bubble. Not only that, but their overall image has suffered over the last few years thanks to Musk. There are plenty of concerns over their inability to produce a product of actual high quality that doesn't consistently fall apart, and their product line is stagnating without any new cars (cars, not Cybertrucks).

It's cool that sales have increased, but so many other signs point to their run being relatively short-lived that it's not an unreasonable viewpoint to expect them not to be as strong as they are long-term.

Edit: Hell, even Musk has said they're not a car company anymore. Can anyone actually tell me what kind of company they are, then? How can I expect for them to be as successful if they're having some kind of existential crisis, for lack of a better word? Good luck getting your employees moving towards the same mission if we're not entirely clear what that is.

Edit 2: Further, they've only been selling their current lines of cars for twelve years. That's a relatively tiny amount of time compared to other leading manufacturers. That's short, and all signs point to them not really knowing where to go from here. Just because there's been growth doesn't mean it's guaranteed to continue. Downvote this comment too, disagree with it, I don't really care - time will tell how this shakes out.

I do aging genetics research and in fact that's the opposite of my impression so far. Not trying to be contrary, I'm sympathetic to that idea, but most of what I've seen suggests idiosyncratic environmental effects become more prominent as you age, even into late age. Those random fatal events, cumulative exposures, random nucleotide flips, and so forth, all add up more with time.

I suspect aside from lifestyle changes and drugs targeting those affected pathways, gene and "epigene" editing is the thing that will result in longer lifespans. But genetic and epigenetic editing targeting random accumulated mutations with age, not necessarily those at birth.

The phenomenon in the linked piece is important because it throws a monkey wrench into a lot of stuff. I'm skeptical of biological measures of aging because of the widespread idea that people can be biologically older or younger than chronological age. I think it's going to take some large population with good, verifiable, maintained records at birth, which will take some time to establish.
> to say IQ is pseudoscience is a ridiculous claim

Is this claim really ridiculous? A quick search yields convincing results that hints at scientists questioning the concept:

- https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121219133334.h... "Scientists debunk the IQ myth: Notion of measuring one's intelligence quotient by singular, standardized test is highly misleading"

- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/iq-tests-are-fund... "IQ tests are 'fundamentally flawed' and using them alone to measure intelligence is a 'fallacy', study finds"

There are many things wrong with how IQ is tested, and even how the whole notion was born.

(note that between my comment and yours, I had edited that sentence a bit, it's not worded as strongly now - this is because I don't doubt much that IQ was scientifically researched, so saying IQ is pseudoscience may indeed a bit far-fetched, but I still think the whole notion is quite broken)
That hub doesn't work that way.

The hub has a bunch of female ports, and one male USB C port.

The male USB port is the only one that provides USB PD charging output, and it is also the only port that can be used with a USB host machine.

This means that it cannot be used to change settings on the iFixit iron with a computer and give give the iron enough power to heat up. It's not an improvement at all over a regular computer that also cannot do both of these things concurrently.

It looks like a lovely hub to keep on a desk for plugging in a laptop, but it is broadly limited to doing exactly that.
It's also confusion that reporting of a bug is not criticism. It's a Show HN. You've asked for the feedback. People that get twisted when the feedback is anything other than pablum like "great job" need not be a developer. If you can't handle being told that something isn't working, then how do you ever expect to improve? Or maybe you've moved from being a dev and are now trying to be a founder?

It is a completely different kind of parallelism. Seastar makes easier to leverage parallelism across many cores. Here Valkey is leveraging instruction level parallelism within a single core.

A single CPU core actually can execute more than one instruction at a time, by leveraging out of order execution. The trick for leveraging out of order execution is avoiding having data dependencies locally. By swapping the iteration order, they allow the CPU core to continue with the next iteration before the previous has finished. Why? Because there is no data dependency anymore!

I haven't profiled that code, but I guess that now the bottleneck would be the sum. But it doesn't matter, as accesing a register is the fastest operation. Accesing the memory cache is slower, and accessing RAM is even slower.

As long as there is no incentive for Apple to use this feature to prevent legit recycling, that would be great.

For example, if someone sells an old device, after someone repairs a device with the sold/old component, there should be a 30-60 day grace period where the original owner is required to actively prevent the repair if the part was stolen. Otherwise it would automatically be allowed to be used.

Sure, P=I²R but only when you control the current. And P=U²/R when you control voltage. But USB-C can only give you 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V (depending on source, several of these steps might be missing), or 28/48V with EPR.

Given that resistance is mostly fixed you cannot reach the maximum rated power, unless your tip is precisely matched for any of these fixed steps. And PWM does not work with some power sources because of sensitive overcurrent protection.

I see you are impressively knowledgeable in this field. But my issue is not with your knowledge, it is with your comprehension and logic.

So, fro example, Nikon typically provides three options for Raw: Compressed, Lossless Compressed and Uncompressed, as seen below:

https://photographylife.com/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/GrQZt6ZFhE...

"Lossless Compressed means that a Raw file is compressed like an ZIP archive file without any loss of data. Once a losslessly compressed image is processed by post-processing software, the data is first decompressed, and you work with the data as if there had never been any compression at all. Lossless compression is the ideal choice, because all the data is fully preserved and yet the image takes up much less space.

Uncompressed – an uncompressed Raw file contains all the data, but without any sort of compression algorithm applied to it. Unless you do not have the Lossless Compressed option, you should always avoid selecting the Uncompressed option, as it results in huge image sizes."

Why make the distinction if there is no difference?

Apple is COMPRESSING the image. Period. RAW photos can be compressed, but if they are then they are "RAW Compressed" Files, not "RAW" files.Apple is not saying you are shooting RAW Compressed, it says you are shooting ProRAW photos, which is slick marketing because everyone thinks they are shooting RAW photos but ProRAW is not RAW. The iPhone 12 gave you a choice to shoot RAW or ProRAW, but my iPhone 13 ProMax only allows the ProRAW option. I have no option to avoid Apple processing my photos anymore.

It is semantics but words matter. If something is off with the compression algorithm or the processing how would you know?

More, if the difference did not matter, why does Sony go out of the way to explain the difference?

https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00257081

If a computer compresses and expands the image using an algorithm you are not getting back the same image. Period. I do not care if you perceive it to be the same, it is not the same.
Optimization Will Not Save You
Well, strokes beard, funny you should ask.

Have a look at https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#echo_.24foo

Most of the time, "echo" works as you'd expect, but as it doesn't accept "--" to signify the end of options (which is worth using wherever you can in scripts), it'll have problems with variables that start with a dash as it'll interpret it as an option to "echo" instead.

It's a niche problem, but replacing it with "printf" is so much more flexible, useful and robust. (My favourite trick is using "printf" to also replace the "date" command).

Also, here's some more info on subtle differences between "echo" on different platforms: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/65803/why-is-printf...
Also, "discoverability" perhaps - all information search nowadays is, by definition, targeted.-

You made me read each and every one of those something-something-Face lines. I think this one closely approximates the problem I had with that senior colleague:

You Make So Much More Money Than I Do and You Do Nothing Face

I think I see your polite point about Gerald Weinberg (he's a man and still he had to smile like an idiot) but in my case I can tell you with great certainty that it was my gender that was the matter. See my quip about the dour dudes above. In particular, nobody expected the dev team to be all smiles, but that didn't apply to the design and marketing etc teams who, to my knowledge, did nothing but chat and smile all the bloody time. The dev team was situated in a basement and people made all sorts of jokes about that, too. It was not a great place to work in and I left as soon as I could. I never had requests to smile in any other workplace, so I remember the incident above partly because it stood out.

In other workplaces I dealt with different, non-gendered stereotypes. E.g. a senior colleague (again) was making a fuss about some outrage she had to deal with in her personal life in the desk right opposite to mine in an open plan office. After a bit she said something apologetically to me about making noise. She kind of kicked me off my flow so I went "huh?" like, "I didn't hear anything" because I wasn't paying attention. She said "I guess you are very good at shutting out external distractions", something like that. Kind of a nerd stereotype then.

I really don't have a BRF though.

Edit: can I say something politically incorrect? I don't think I've registered any overt discrimination for my gender as a woman in tech. I may have noticed a tendency towards the opposite, like some people may be weirdly enthusiastic to see a woman programmer (I'm a post-doc researcher now so the stereotypes are much milder). Though to be fair that implies there's also people who are exactly the opposite from enthusiastic, they just don't let it show because they know their colleagues will think they're assholes. If I've ever been discriminated against it must always have been before I even got to the interview stage, so I have no way to know.

> Exceptions are a poor way to signal out-of-memory states. If containers panicked on out-of-memory, we’d enormously reduce the cleanup paths in most functions.

What exactly is the difference between a panic and an exception? According to everything I've been able to read about Rust's panic mechanism, it's just that "panics shouldn't be used for normal errors", which is just a prescription on the normative use of the construct. A pretended difference. Can anyone clarify whether there actually is a real difference? Or when "Panic" is said here, does the author mean something that cannot be meaningfully recovered from? That would be a change most inappropriate!

One of the most prominent birthmarks that Rust was stamped with when it was born as an apps (not systems) language was its standard library being designed without regard to the possibility of reacting to out-of-memory conditions by anything other than aborting. Now that it's trying to pivot from solely an apps language to a systems language for some time, there seems to be work underway to correct that deficiency.

C++ for its part is not burdened with that mistake. There is remarkable attention paid in the STL to the possibility of an out-of-memory condition and allowing a complete recovery from the same. This is a useful feature that systems software often requires.

IQ tests are not and have never been intended to measure intelligence. They're intended to be a measure of potential.

The fact that those articles got it wrong from the basic definitions should indicate there is a problem with the interpretation. If you look at the actual first study link, for example, it doesn't debunk IQ but highlights logistical problems of pen & paper testing and sample size. What they then do is present an alternative measurement based on brain scans. They also do this intentionally to avoid controversial questions of heritability, race and gender that people associate with IQ measurement, as laid out by their introduction.

> I would expect the proportion of people > 50 that perform resistance based weight training to be small. Adding a drug that diminishes your muscle mass when you can least afford to lose it sounds like it could be terrible for that aging population.

Then prescribe weight training in addition to it. This isn't rocket science. Older folks should be doing exercise to offset the potential loss in muscle and bone mass anyway. It works. We've proven it works. We've proven it improves health outcomes and quality of life long-term going into old age. This isn't just something that should be waved away with "ah, well, we've proven people lose muscle mass, nothing we can do about it".

You really had no issue with the repression of ethnic russians ...

Which consisted of what, precisely?

in regions that historically were Russian before Lenin?

Are you suggesting that there's some magical, enduring quality to the Russian Empire's territorial claims? Is every place the Russian Empire managed to sit on for a while ipso facto "historically Russian" -- and we should just accept this description at face value?

And before these regions were supposedly "Russian" -- what were they? What kind of people were living there? What became of them?

Would you refer to Okinawa as "historically Japanese", or Algeria as "historically French"?

This conceit is especially cogent when one considers that many of Cherryh's works are to some degree a deconstruction of, and re-examination of previous works:

- _Rimrunner_ takes a powered armor trooper out of her armor and then examines the place of military in society from a compleatly different angle than Heinlein's _Starship Troopers_

- The Faded Sun trilogy takes an honour-bound warrior culture which has a strange alien life form as a central aspect of society and examines its workings and the interactions with the life form and ecologies in a way which is not possible in Frank Herbert's _Dune_ with its physics laws defying sandworms

- the Morgaine trilogy takes the concept of gates and looks at how such devices might relate to and interact with not just societies and cultures, but the very fabric of reality

This depends very much on the type of UPS. Big, high dollar UPSes will convert the AC to DC and back to AC, which gives amazing pure sine wave power.

The $99 850VA APC you get from Office Depot does not do this. It switches from AC to battery very quickly, but it doesn't really do power conditioning.

If you can afford the good ones, they genuinely improve reliability of your hardware over the long term. Clean power is great.
We had that problem with computers when having the metal shielding off the cases. Every time someone in the vicinity got a phonecall on their Motorola 2880 (random model number, can't remember but one of the really old ones) the computers would bluescreen. This was at hackernights with all sorts of different computers running windows 95. If they had the metal shields off, many of them would bluescreen on phonecalls. Shields were off for having more cooling from external sources or friends helping with installing stuff or whatever, and the problems would go away when the shield was on again.
