My comment says ng/mL and nmol/L, and my sources agree. Your comment says mg/dl, which is different. A milligram of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is quite a lot; the nanogram range makes much more sense for this measurement. As you say, it's a hormone.

>Sure. But that isn't relevant to the clinical question of reducing hospitalisation.

I answered the question you asked, and I'm not the person you were originally responding to.

>Nobody debates this.

I'm glad that you don't, and that apparently nobody you know does. My personal experience differs.

>Self administering large doses of hormones isn't good broad-spectrum advice.

When I told my primary care physician about what I had done many years ago on the advice of a specialist, he told me quite directly that basically everyone around here should be supplementing vitamin D (particularly given how common it is to spend so much of our lives indoors). Toronto is not even at the 45th parallel. The doses in question are really not large, taken for example in the perspective of their measurable pharmacological effects.

I tried to get T-Mobile to unlock my far out of contract iphone 6s a few years ago, which should be super simple. The first time I talked to a rep and confirming everything they said it should show as unlocked in a few days. A month later and it wasn't unlocked. I called again and went through the same steps with another rep, they said it would be unlocked for sure this time. Nope. Luckily my friend gave me their old unlocked iPhone and I switched carriers. That 6s is still locked, T-mobile is scummy.

I don't think GP meant that $500 to $2,000 is cheap, I think they meant a small purchase relative to something like a house.

A better distinction is not small vs. large, but appreciating assets vs. depreciating. Houses tend to increase in value, so it's usually okay to finance (pandemics and market crashes are the exceptions) because you often make a profit when it's time to sell. Phones tend to decrease in value after purchase, so financing it just means you're losing even more money at the end. Phones are also fragile so it's common to break one and still have to make payments.
I’m hesitant to suggest specific use cases because general purpose technologies are hard to predict in their applications. I doubt whether anyone accurately forecasted the impact of JS in the browser, for example.

However, I’d love to be able to interact with my car, CCTV cameras and other IoT devices at long distance with fewer middlemen involved.

You mean "how much money is given to people to do those things"? Because the money doesn't magically disappear in the pockets of "big beeb", all those tasks are performed by people who get paid for that, drawing an income and then spending the money they earned by economically participating in society.

There is no money being wasted. Although it might certainly be a case of paper being wasted.

It's a horrible situation which I am convinced preys on the vulnerable.

We've been sent letters on an almost monthly basis claiming that an officer is "scheduled" to make a visit, that we have a "ten day window" to respond before they take action, etc... . Nothing ever happens and no one ever visits.

I know that you don't have to let the enforcement folk in, and if they turn up I'll politely ask to see their search warrant or for them to mind their own business. But lots of people don't know this and are conditioned to be passive. Prosecutions include the mentally vulnerable and people whose finances are handled by the council. There are thousands every year. Three quarters of the prosecutions are against women, and it makes up more than a quarter of prosecutions against women.
Thank you. This needs to be said & should be reported.

If we want a world that isn’t massively hostile to devs, like it is for most companies, this is the kind of advocacy we need and I’d love to see more people in tech putting it out there.

It's interesting how mind wandering can be analysed from different perspectives:

1. In meditation the main goal is precisely to free ourselves from the monkey mind that seems to be the cause of all suffering

2. In neuroscience mind wandering is seen as the brain default mode unless we are operating within a goal driven mindset

3. This can also be seen as a kind of reinforcement learning: we train ourselves to notice when we are mind wandering - this process in itself, after some time, conditions the mind to focus on the present moment

4. From a metabolic perspective (e.g. ketogenic therapy), mind wandering can be seen as the result of blood glucose fluctuations that cause mental fogginess and impair focus

In my own experience as a long time meditation practitioner, what really made the difference for me was regulating my blood glucose levels by following a ketogenic diet. The change in clarity of mind and focus were life changing to me.

I write a bit on my experience in my blog:

Generally we'll do a couple of half mile 10 minute walks in the morning. Then a longer hour mid afternoon which usually covers about 3 miles. My mile time varies from 16 minutes to about 19. Lastly, at night we walk a slower pace, taking 30 minutes to do a mile. Where I live, there's lots of options to change routes and to see/smell new things.

I unfortunately can't run: scar tissue messed up some left foot tendons. To let my dog run, we go to tennis courts, baseball fields, and throw a ball for him.
In a competitive market ‘free’ interest deals just mean higher monthly premiums for basic service.

AT&T’s prepaid plans start at is 25$/month for unlimited calls & text, “Unlimited” data (After 16GB it degrades to 1.5mbps) + 10Gb tethering. Meanwhile their cheapest regular plan is 50$/month for worse service (4GB data).

Sure they don’t offer the best plans prepaid, but that’s basic price discrimination.

I thought it was a satirical allegory about the US healthcare system ;)
Or better yet, buy your phone from the used market. Get a phone in perfect shape that was $800 two or three years ago for $200. Put a new battery in it.

Though I'm seriously considering going back to a $50 flip phone and enjoying the 2 weeks of battery life and general indestructibility. My current phone spends most of its time sitting on my desk doing nothing. It's hard to get excited about a newer and much BIGGER phone for $500 that will also spend most of its time sitting on my desk, doing nothing.
Don't want to pay the full amount? Simply get a black and white television, now it's 70% off.
I was thinking more along the lines of taking down AI companies.
Try using a pager like more, which works on dumb terminals.
I think it's impossible to buy a phone from any of the major carriers online without seeing the full upfront price at least a few times on screen.

And in store there's clearly the price tag right beside the demo model.

So hard to see how its obsfucated like healthcare.
That’s because subsidized plans don’t encourage shopping for the lowest price. Consumers just see free phone and optimize to buy the most expensive free phone available.
Exactly. Once "the border" became politicized, very few people allow themselves to think in terms of a spectrum. They just stand up a straw man on either extreme end and argue against it.

Almost nobody is arguing for absolute open borders or absolute closed borders.
I live in SF. I actually thought about moving out for a little bit and realized California has some of the best protections and social safety net for entrepreneurs compared to other states.

I will never leave California.

To expand on this, just to push off the inevitable: it’s not just about abortions, it’s about women’s healthcare overall. It turns out there’s a whole shitload of grey areas, doctors aren’t willing to go to jail, and it puts women’s lives in danger to have this theocratic bullshit in place.

>handsets that are free or heavily discounted off the manufacturer's
suggested retail price.

You do it by increasing contract prices and being able to collect a phone if you don't stay with the often 2-year contract for stuff like this. The final price is also much more expensive than buying outright.

This is a bit silly in am age where phone tech has plateaued and you can often get last year flagships for half the price at launch. Consumers don't need the newest phone at all.

>T-Mobile’s current unlocking policies also help T-
Mobile combat handset theft and fraud by sophisticated, international criminal organizations.

All androids and iphones have built in find - my - phone features these days, as well as the ability to wipe remotely. Phones are one of the least useful things to try and steal these days as a result, up there with a credit card. You can still get info and pawn off a wiped phone, but I don't see what T-Mobile does to prevent that further.

>because the proposal would force providers to reduce the line-up of their most
compelling handset offers. T

Sprint already was reducing lineups, even before the acquisition. And they don't really subsidize anymore. That's why I started buying my own phones. The T-Mobile store was just the Galaxy/IPhone store, featuring overly expensive otter cases.

>T-Mobile maintains that the Commission lacks authority to adopt the proposed rule

They really pulling off the Chevron defense (assumedly, it's in another document) with no hesitation, huh? I guess we'll see how that goes. I'm not going to pretend I know the full ramifications of how it will affect the FCC.

>however, a
provider subject to FCC-imposed asymmetric regulation on handset unlocking seeks to modify its commitments

Sounds like a horrible loophole to extend the policy as long as possible. So, no. They don't even provide much of an argument for when and where and what should be modified.

Clickbait or not, I'm not really liking the arguments either way.
The longest drive from within Arkansas to an out of state abortion clinic is about five hours. There is no place to live without compromises. I'm in a state with free choice and the nearest to me is a three hour drive. My distance to access is greater than 90% of the population of Arkansas. I can understand not wanting to live there due to that policy on principle but not on practicality.

Yeah, I imagine every moment of communication a child receives is new information not just baby talk about getting the spoon in their mouth and asking them if they have pooped.
> ...is leaving the company due to a policy requiring thousands of corporate employees to relocate to headquarters in Arkansas...

> Walmart has asked many of its employees from smaller offices, as well as remote workers around the US, to move to the company’s larger corporate offices. Most employees are going to Arkansas.

Wow. Just wow.

Let me get this straight -- Walmart management actually wants people to up-root their lives, take their kids out of school, re-arrange their routines with childcare, move away from family that may be nearby...I could go on and on...and move to Arkansas?

"Move or go fuck yourself."

Clearly, Walmart management does not care about their employees.

As a side note, while I acknowledge the benefits of RTTO, working remote is something that increased the quality of my life tremendously. But management-types just can't help make their employees miserable -- pathological.

Thay sounds heavily dystopian, you would need to be monitering children throughout their entire school year to get any sort of accurate data,
not to mention needing to decide what "good behaviour" is specifically.

Enforcing discipline in a class is fine if done well, (my own school used to be somewhat strict) but when students expect to be paid to begood, then they end up growing with that expectation, and would get mad/feel betrayed whenever they dont get immediately rewarded for it in real life.

Why not? They're survived for decades just shrugging off the law and paying off whatever minor fine there is years later. They started that model, now embraced by everyone from Google to Apple to Uber. Build it fast, get rich, worry about legality later.
No they don't. They have more tolerance for errors imo, because they've been told "it just works" so many times that when it doesn't work, their brain has to skip it. So many iPhone friends point at some problem my Sammy might have like it's broken all the time yet completely ignore when their own phones have issues, or glaring design flaws like the lack of a consistent back button, a major os feature in 2024 being "you can have a custom lock screen and home screen wallpaper" lmao
What tweet?
So there was this German scientist that went about decoding how bees communicate where pollen sources are. I believe he won a noble prize for it. He had to individually hand paint bees. I can't remember the details and I'm too lazy to look it up.

The point here is that if you want to know what birds are saying you'd probably have to record the flapping of wings (especially with the more colorful birds) and then the bird song - their eyesight is particularly acute due to needing to eat fresh berries so body posture is most likely important in communication. A high def camera and microphone and an LLM should be able to do the job if the data is good enough on a particular species. From there you should be able to extrapolate to multiple species.

The language would probably be along the lines of a few set phrases

- wanna mate?
- where's food? Here's food!
- stay away
- fly together south?

Stuff like that.

At a certain point, it's not a problem with readability but that the reader doesn't actually know the language.

I built a simple tool to track your wealth
Hey everyone

Lately, I've been focused on getting a clearer picture of my finances and keeping track of all my financial accounts and assets. Initially, I wasn't feeling too motivated and started to make a dull spreadsheet to stay on top of things. But I quickly lost the little motivation I had and put this matter aside. Then I had a thought - why not build a website with some cool interactive charts and graphs to visualise my finances?

I am excited to introduce Cashtrackr, a simple tool designed to help you effortlessly track your wealth. With Cashtrackr, you can easily track your net worth, monitor all of your financial accounts and assets, and visualise your finances over time with interactive charts, all in one centralised dashboard.

Feel free to check it out!
The most noticeable "fast" thing to me is the JavaScript page transitions. They are near-instant if you have hovered on the link long enough for them to prefetch everything.

Initial page loads are not particularly fast (one reason for that might be the lack of server-side rendering).
In a way having to dev for fragmented is annoying but valuable, as once you've done it it should handle everything. I imagine so many iOS apps are like a glass animal; fragile beasts.
They could be regular web pages without the silly scroll animations, just like in the good old days.
Your answer is part of why I am concerned. Maybe new incentives or leverage can be created. Giving AI the power to create new social dynamics seems both too dangerous and necessary.
I buy cheap phones for projects so have experienced exactly this. If you go on any prepaid WISP site and look at their device selection ordered by lowest price there's always an asterisk and the quoted price is based on some kind of contract.

I built a similar system for my school’s CS club. I considered using a door sensor, but the eventual solution I settled on was a light sensor, because it’s almost always true for us that the lights are on iff the door is open.

This way, we don’t need to mount anything on the door, we just have a microcontroller plugged into one of the machines.

Our previous solution was a webcam that pointed to the lights that did a similar thing (implemented by someone before my time) but then it stopped working due to some driver issues, and I didn’t want to spend time investigating them.

I vaguely remember Musk talking about reflective paint for some band on the landing pad of Falcon, a long time ago.

> At the most precise, an RTK positioning system could lower position accuracy all the way down to 2.5 cm (+1cm per km of distance). If SpaceX put a receiver on the launch tower or the ocean buoys, then the landing position could be incredibly accurate. But even the most advance positioning tech won’t guarantee it down to 0.5 cm. And RTK does rely on being able to acquire and maintain a link between the booster and ground for this precision.

I don't understand this last sentence. Afaik RTK correction only requires receiving correction frames on the booster's side, which can be distributed via l-band just like GPS. I suspect the latency constraints are also quite low as the conditions aren't going to change quickly near the tower with the kind of good weather they choose for launch.
Cops may not need to carry guns around children in Iceland, but that is not necessarily transferable to the U.S., where a small but nonzero fraction of children (usually teenagers) carry guns. One role of a school resource officer is to disarm such teens.

Building something for someone you love
i tried reproducing the zipped example on macOS 14.4.1 (23E224) and Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4) and it looks like the issue is not present on that version.

here are the instructions marked with '<<<<' from `disassem.txt` and my version:

0x1000026a8 <+3300>: adrp x14, 6152a ; <<<<<< address used for `in_parallel_sweepers`?

100002c64: b94961cb ldr w11, [x14, #2400]

on my version it uses the offset for the first load #2400 = #0x960. so i guess it must have been fixed somewhere between `clang-1500.0.40.1` and `clang-1500.3.9.4`. but that is an insane bug. also, `sweep_thread` seems to have the exact same number of instructions under both versions of clang and i'm guessing the only difference is this offset which is kind of wild.
>There's NO REASON to have zone transfer enabled.

There are absolutely reasons to have zone transfer enabled -- to transfer the zones from primary/authoritative DNS servers to secondary DNS servers.

Zone transfers should, however, be limited to just the secondary DNS servers and not open to the world.
