Also, are there any repercussions for this kind of stuff? I don't know, fines from the organizations they get compliance certifications from or something.
I don't doubt that exaggerating public service activity on college applications happens, A LOT. I'm less inclined to believe that high school students, even those with pushy, wealthy, supportive parents, are forming vanity NGOs for their children. It requires a lot of time for legit non-profit organizations to get 501(c)(3) status, like, years.

Also, it would help a lot to have even one source as evidence that this happens. A media report would be sufficient; no need to link to providers!

The chart of Harvard bachelor's degree grad career choices was good. So many go into finance... sigh. But just because only 3% work for non-profits, NGOs, or other service organizations full-time after graduation doesn't mean that they don't continue to participate after work or on weekends.

You're probably right in a more general sense: Someone who misrepresents themselves on a college application and gets away with it will probably be more likely to do some of those other things after graduation, e.g. falsify ESG reporting.

College admissions isn't an insoluble problem that requires disruption. Social justice projects are a lot to ask. I know it is a thing now, which doesn't seem reasonable (even if I'm skeptical of ghost NGOs).
Such a critique is also a favorite refrain among science professionals

I found the deluge (web?) ui becoming unusable after adding tens (or hundreds?) of thousands of torrents.

Not sure about the details, but a decade ago I used to seed all files below 100MB on many private trackers for seed bonus points, and yea, deluge ui (might have been the web ui, not sure) became very slow. :D

The difference between panaceas and this is that the idea for extending life isn't to add something, but not to fuck an essential part of life.

If you think of life as the careful coordination of millions of parts, then there will be a million of things that if you fuck up you will die.
I'm getting old, I've been doing this for going on 20 years, I've been doing this since before fad workflows were really embedded in the culture. They were around but not nearly as common.

What we did then, and what we do now is what I will term "developer driven development". The developer picks up a task, often themselves, and works on it to completion. If there's a strict deadline, a PM might get involved, usually working directly with the dev(s) on the project. Other than that, the PM's job is largely just to watch over tickets.

I don't get the draw. We've had Agile and Kanban pushed on us before, and it's never stuck. We never got anything positive out of it. It only ever had negative effects on performance.

Is it just to help very poor communicators? People who can't be bothered to talk directly, so they need to waste everyone's time?

We don't do meetings. We don't need them. If someone needs a status update, they ask the person working on it directly.

Building software just isn't as difficult as these workflows try to pretend it is.

No one thinks "let the fans stay off and overheat" is a good idea unless they were convinced to do that against their common sense. Other manufacturers' models either had the expected automatic fan control via EC firmware, or defaulted to the fans being on some intermediate speed.
I don't think boycotting Apple because they don't support open source enough is likely to have much effect?

The subprocess.run args argument is a list of strings, not a single string with whitespace-delimited parts, so you're all good quotingwise. This is now effortlessly a lot better than what you get with bash in terms of how brittle things are!

But that could apply to any of the GPU manufacturers. CUDA made for an easier ecosystem but if it didn’t exist it would have been any of the other APIs.

The first transformer models didn’t even use CUDA and CUDA didn’t have mass ecosystem inroads till years later.

If you have coax, MoCA is a stellar option.

I put MoCA and a TP-LINK Omada setup (unified control of all AP's - you define the network, adopt the AP's as they are plugged into the network, and they offer the SSIDs and options you want) in my in-laws' house a couple of years ago. They went from almost-undetectable WiFi in most places to a solid signal throughout the entire house. They love it. They even asked why their ISP didn't do it. I told them that $400 of gear and two hours of expertise in setting it up was not in Charter's budget. My MIL even said oh, we'll pay for the gear, you didn't need to spend that much. No, you won't, it's a gift from me (because it means that my wife and I won't have to worry about nonexistent WiFi when we're at your house).

It is easy to say that good quality sleep is good for a person. But what if I literally never get that type of sleep. What should I do? How concerned should I be? How much focus and effort should I put into this? Should I take the Ambien I'm prescribed or should I try to go for the best natural path - because I really, really don't have good experience with Ambien. And it's almost like it's the best modern medicine can offer.

Using a fuzzer was a terrible point of comparison. They’re the slowest, heaviest users of resources. They’d be better off comparing to static analyzers which find bugs fast. In this case, Infer might do since it’s designed to catch those errors.

My concept was running a bunch of open-source, static analyzers with the LLM’s essentially blocking false positives. They can do it analytically or by generating the test cases to prove the bug. It might also be easier to fine-tune open models for this since the job is narrower.
David Salle's Ghost in the A.I. Machine
I have to agree with this take, as much as I appreciate the indelible hacker spirit of jailbreaking closed hardware and making it available to freedom loving individuals... A huge, vocal part of me also feels like the entire effort is truly just empowering Apple to sell more closed down hardware and even the freedom loving nerds will buy it because it's sexy.

There's no getting around the sexiness of Apple hardware. But there's also no getting around how closed it is. You implicitly support Apple's business model when you buy their hardware, regardless of whether you run Asahi or Mac OS.

I hope you bring that up as an example in favor on open-source, as an example that open-source works. In a closed-source situation it would either not be detected or reach the light of day.

I know this will not help you, but stressing about sleep is a vicious cycle which does not help.

I used to be much more anxious about sleep — and life in general — but I have leaned that if I don’t sleep that is fine. Life goes on, the body gets what the body needs, and I should focus on living instead of sleeping.

Being active, spending time with friends, going outside for walks, laughing, and taking the world as it comes to me has done more for my sleep than reading studies or buying stuff (outside of a tempurpedic matress and solid oak frame).
for me the best way is to not worry about sleep at all. After many decades of abusive relationship with sleep. I've had enough. If it comes it comes, if not then thats ok too.

I stop reading this 8 hr nonsense or fearing an early death from not sleeping. whatever.
I wake up feeling rested everyday around the same time without an alarm. I also go to sleep fairly easily.

The yo yo of late weekends and spending part of the week trying to get back to an earlier time left me tired much of the time.
First transformer != LLM. Imagine a world where you had to use AMD or CPUs, there would be no AlexNet, there would be no LLMs. Nvidia seeded universities with gifted hardware accelerators for a over a decade. Nvidia built the foundations for modern ML on which transformer lies, it's just one step on a long road to LLMs.
Oh man I took my sleep for granted last month, have been working late and waking up at strange times. Sometimes sleep at 3 am and wake up at 7am then sleep at 11pm and wake up at 6am. Eventually my body totally crashed, interestingly I had a panic attack and heart attack type symptoms at 2am in the morning. Had to rush to ER.
You've gotta be nuts not to be psychotic in a world like this one.
Mac OS was awful. OS X was amazing. macOS feels like increasingly typical design-by-committee rudderless crapware by a company who wishes it didn't have to exist alongside iOS.

I actually experimented with that. I allowed myself two candles, which I found was enough to read by and plenty for navigating my house.

Soon, all night time electric lighting seemed batshit crazy. Dozens of times too bright. Of course we all can’t fucking sleep. It’s so wildly much brighter than necessary.

I gave it up after a few weeks because it’s pretty much impossible to keep up if you’re ever around other people in the evening (and I have a family, so…) and they’re not entirely on-board, or just need to get stuff done at night because life is busy (again: I have a family) and everything about modern scheduling and activities assumes you can do things for hours after sun-down.

But, the experience did convince me that 95% of “night owls” and serious trouble sleeping are just the obvious and natural consequence of crazy-bright nighttime lighting and hyper-stimulating electronic home entertainment (which all also emits light, so I was shunning that stuff after dark too during my experiment). We have a sleeplessness epidemic? Gee I wonder if it’s because we light up our houses like a carnival and then put a world’s fair x100 at our finger tips. Like, yes, of course it’s that.

I’ve since discovered that low-dose weed gummies also get the job done with no side effects (aside from allowing me an hour or so of giggly TV watching right before bed, if I want it—oh no, what a tragedy), for me, and are far more compatible with modern life. Kinda lame to have to medicate my way out of the human body and mind of course not being able to cope with what we all do to them after dark, through.

I’ve used the analogy on here before, but imagine some 18th century emperor or king complained to his physician that he’d been lighting up his palace and grounds every night as bright possible and hosting a weeks-long 24/7 festival featuring the world’s finest entertainers (including the rather lewd sorts), intellectuals, travelers and philosophers, jesters and players, and, well, for some reason he’s having trouble falling asleep at a decent hour. LOL fucking yeah, dude, no wonder.

But we do that and then go “man I wonder if maybe I need a better pillow or to get more vitamin D” or whatever. Seriously?
Sure it can. Knowledge, skills, and wisdom passed on to children and grandchildren well into adulthood significantly increases their chances of successfully passing on their genes to future generations, attract quality mates, and reduce stressors that can be passed down through subsequent generations.
Have you ever heard the saying “correlation is not causation” ? Couldnt it be that you already had a good enough health to push you to adopt a better sleep schedule ?
Conversely, Nvidia provides first-party Linux support for most of the hardware they sell, and Apple goes out of their way to make booting third-party OSes on the majority of hardware they sell (read: all non-Mac devices) all but impossible.
The assumption is what you do when awake those extra hours is more productive (or fun of whatever you are aiming for...) than asleep.

Sleeping you has the disadvantage it cannot keep score. Wake you has "I completed X today and Y yesterday". Advocate for sleeping you!
How do you deal with sites you try accessing but have apps installed. I have hard time opening things in apps. And I end up going back to chrome just for ease.

Overall, pretty uninteresting and uninsightful, unless you have Doc Brown's DeLorean with the Mr. Fusion upgrade (BTTF II). Even then, would it actually be good if you built your own reality to such an extent? I'm sure life's weird for the UHNW's, unclear if it's actually better. We're all still stuck on the same planet, our kids and kid's kids will all face the same struggles.

Even still, today is a pretty interesting temporal location to occupy!

Every deductive leap comes with uncertainty in establishing a causal chain. I don't I'm being overly reductive about the nature of evidence when I say that.

There is a specific question that needs to be addressed: With a one week window into sleep habits, are we selecting for people who are chronically poor sleepers, with those poor sleep habits leading to disease?

OR

Are we selecting for people who are chronically ill for other reasons and those chronic illnesses prevent them from getting regular sleep?

For example, people with sleep apnea have terrible sleep, and they have lower life expectancy than the general population. However, the cause of that lower life expectancy is not the poor quality of sleep; it's the cardiac effects of abnormal breathing over a long period of time.

If a person with decades of excellent sleep habits developed sleep apnea in the last 5 to 10 years of their life, the accelerometer will capture their irregular sleep and the death registry will capture their early deaths. That doesn't mean poor sleep habits killed them.

There are many other such chronic illnesses that can be confounded this way. Heart failure. Obstructive lung disease. Dementia. All can lead to irregular sleep. Add them together and you've captured a large segment of the population with ~10 years left to live.

The authors address this relationship in the conclusion and supplementary materials, but they appear to approach it entirely from the framework of poor sleep being causative of cardiovascular disease. Well yes, there's evidence that poor sleep can cause cardiovascular disease, but it's also well established (as I explained) that it can happen the other way around. If you want to cement a full chain of causality, you need a longer time window. Capture a young population with a low burden of chronic disease, show that poor sleep habits came first (i.e. within a certain age window), then cardiovascular disease, and then shorter lifespan. That would be the ideal data, even if difficult to acquire.

More than half of "recycled" e-waste just gets exported to developing countries without environmental regulations where it either gets burned or buried.

The only sustainable thing you can do with a bad laptop is fix it or part it out, but for all my years taking apart fragile electronics, is it really worth the effort to take apart a device that was intentionally designed to be difficult or impossible for the owner to repair?
Key distribution and revocation is pretty much the hard problem, at least in pragmatic terms. The details of cryptographic operations in code get a lot of scrutiny, and even then there are issues. But key management combines crypto complexity with distributed system complexity, and mixes that with human propensity for operational error.

Methods that work for me, a lifelong “natural” (lol, nope) night owl:

1) No nighttime lighting brighter than a single-digit count of candles. No glowing screens after dark, either. Within a couple days I was no longer a “night owl”. Go figure, it was all fake, all those years.

2) A few mg of THC edible 90 minutes before I want to be asleep.

Whenever I see a study about something that affects longevity, I want to know how much of a difference it makes expressed as a number I can relate to. If you were able to switch from a highly irregular sleep schedule to a very regular schedule, would you live 18 hours longer on average, or 1.5 months, or 5 years? This would be a way to decide how much attention and effort one should to devote to the numerous studies about things that affect mortality.
The most valuable process I’ve ever instituted as a manager is design review. Absolutely hammering a design has proven to me to be the best way to ensure people have absolute clarity on the end state and have thought through the flow, copy and other-than-happy paths through the software.
