That is an interesting interview with William Cromwell. When he says insulin resistance goes with lots of small LDL, why does it? I don't know how cells turning down their insulin sensitivity has a connection to fat in the blood, particularly. What's causing what to happen/not happen, there?

That Twitter exchange; separate from the lipid hypothesis bit, are you saying in summary that Avi is not contesting the claim that the reduced fat group had a higher heart attack risk, only contesting which fat was reduced? They intervention group reduced dietary cholesterol by 30% and that didn't change their serum cholesterol at all and they had higher heart attack risk?? How does that track with your comments about you reducing your dietary fat, why are you if doing that doesn't change serum levels or death risk? That seems to track what Dr Davis says about CAC scores and reducing dietary fat not helping them.

From out here in layman's view, what people on many different sides are saying is about insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome being more important (and more modifiable). Say as a layman chain of reasoning: if most cholesterol in the blood is made by the liver rather than by diet, if one use for cholesterol is to shuttle repair materials to damaged sites around the body, if chronic inflammation is a sign of widespread low grade damage which needs lots of repair, if some of that damage is caused by glycation, if insulin resistance means more free blood glucose not being taken into cells so there's more in the blood to cause more damage, if damage is also caused by oxidised and rancid fats, if unsaturated fats oxidise more easily... then reducing (sugars, simple carbs, unsaturated fats) in the diet should result in reduced insulin resistance, in less damage, in lower levels of chronic inflammation, therefore in less cholesterol produced by the liver, in lower blood LDL of any size, in less cholesterol to be damaged and less free glucose to damage it, therefore in less plaque buildup, lower heart disease risk.

(At no point here am I saying "more fat is better" in absolute terms; I don't think that adding butter onto a takeaway makes it healthier).
Like python, and Rust with the format! macro (which doesn't even support arbitrary expressions), C# the full syntax for interpolated/formatted strings is this: {<interpolationExpression>[,<alignment>][:<formatString>]}, ie there is more going on then just a simple wrapper around concat or StringBuilder.
You do realize that you can't test someone's legal ability to vote if you prohibit confirming if someone is legally permitted to vote, right? Our rule of law rests upon assuming innocence if guilt cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and here it is explicitly prohibited to even attempt proving guilt. Therefore it becomes legal for illegal aliens to vote in American elections, because you are prohibited from even attempting to demonstrate their illegality.

The only reason asking for government identification prior to voting is considered "racist" and illegal is because the people pushing such agendas want more votes and don't care where the votes come from, including illegal aliens, legal aliens, and otherwise people who do not have the right to vote in American elections.

I voted when I was still in California, born and raised American so I have the right to vote. I was never asked for any piece of identification. None. I could have been a Canadian or Briton or Chinese or some other foreign national, I could have been an illegal alien from Mexico or Guatemala and I could have still voted and my ballot counted because nobody checked. I just walked in and voted, identification or citizenship be damned let alone registration.

There's a part of me still questioning the value of my American citizenship and paying my taxes like a good citizen.

It’s the same reason why companies are throwing money at a self driving car which can coexist with manually driven cars, rather than building roads specifically for autonomy
As a regular old “platform engineer” I fight to ignore “data platform” tasks. There’s no target to hit, it’s just moving sand around a sand box.

If you want an answer to a specific question, we can spin up a read replica and a Metabase and write a query in an afternoon, cool. I’ll get you a chart, we’ll move on. If you want “a data analytics platform to enable blah blah blah” I’m out, I can’t do it. My eyes won’t focus, my hands stop moving.

Developers sometimes tell me stuff like “Kubernetes is too complex”, “jeez React is a pain”. I send those quotes to my friends stuck writing 195 step DAGs to transform log files from s3 into s3 so they can eventually land in s3 - ah yes but they’re parquet somewhere in between, and that matters for some reason. We laugh together, but I can see it hurts them more than I intended.

Life is too short to faff about doing nothing. Go join a company with less than 100 engineers and learn to be happy again. Let the enterprises burn, we’ll all be better for it.

Anyways this was a fantastic piece, I hope this person writes their book after all.

Herman Goldstine made the decision to distribute the report. Though Eckert and Mauchly liked to think they came up with the idea before von Neumann came along and that he got the idea from them, it is very hard to know if that is true. Kurt Gödel, who von Neumann helped get out of Austria at the start of the war and come work with him at Princeton's Institute of Advanced Study, had already published the idea of using numbers to encode algorithms as part of his famous 1931 proof. And while Turing Machines use the Harvard architecture, the Universal Turing Machine at the end of Alan Turing's 1936 paper is a von Neumann one.

For those who are not familiar with morse, a more hardware tinkering free and expensive (and over engineered) solution that might work is

1. Use one of those handheld landline phones with numbers.

2. Connect it to asterisk via an ata/voip adapter.

3. Configure a dial plan to log dtmf tones

4. Enter message using numberpad like on any old telephone.

5. Translate those numbers to text using t9 or any other custom scheme.

If it works, it can do a lot like dial extension 1 for email, 2 for sms to someone else or 3 to control your devices. Keep in mind, setting up dial plans is probably the most challenging part in this whole setup.
A framing/question I like to ask use is: "Look for a root problem that ought to be fixed through a change in policy, politics, or incentives, and the wasteful use of time/money is how the company tries to avoid or defer facing it."

For example, Operations might demand that Engineering develops an increasingly-byzantine approvals process, to stop Sales from over-promising impossible or unprofitable projects.
You're complaining about MPA. Maybe if you choose SPA with vanilla React you would've felt that for the last 8 years there's been a flurry of conversation and innovation that's specifically not about SPA. The conversation around SPA has been frozen for nearly a decade.

Unless maybe you want to start talking about CRDTs? But that's kind of niche, and CRDTs are actually an old conversation, one which started before React was first released. That should give you a sense at the pace of conversation for SPAs.
CSV is fully defined in RFC 4180. Of course that standard is only informative and some vendors don't implement it correctly.

bluesky was made for the purpose of decentaralized social networking, by people who wanted to do that, many with a background of working on that.

Then they got an unexpected rush of users from Elon buying twitter. Many/most of those users weren't coming because of bluesky's mission of decentralization -- they mainly wanted a twitter alternative, and bluesky had built one.

Bluesky could have, at that point, let their original decentralized ideal languish in the icebox column and said "oh well, we pivoted". Their new user base would have been mostly fine with that. Silicon Valley would have been mostly fine with that. Twitter itself has that kind of abrupt pivot in its origin story.

That's not what they did, though.

This post is a good recounting of what they did:

With the size team they were working with, I think they've been punching well above their weight.

These are legitimate concerns but give them a chance. That funding round was announced slightly over a week ago.

In exactly the same way though I can’t sleep if I’m excited about something, or really interested in solving a problem. That’s basically impossible to switch off, even if I could totally de-stress. This has basically been my experience for as long as I can remember (back to primary school).

In the end I saw a sleep doctor and he prescribed a low-dose melatonin regimen (1mg in a sublingual suspension, I take it about an hour before bed) and it’s actually worked pretty amazingly. Per my sleep tracking I’m averaging more than an hour extra per night and spending a lot less time in bed trying to go to sleep.
It is possible to build single cycle Harvard computers but not von Neumann ones. So a course on computer architecture using, for example, RISC-V as a concrete example might start out showing a Harvard RISC-V with a single cycle implementation. The next step is a multicycle von Neumann version and the third step is a pipelined RISC-V using caches to make a locally Harvard, globally von Neumann implementation.

I always thought serverless meant you could scale out AND lower the cost. It always seems to turn out that serverless is more expensive the more you use it. I guess at certain volume, a serverless instance is meaningless since it’s always on anyway.
Copilot is great at taking precise pseudocode, in this case a declarative constraint logic language I invented, and translating it from there - just explain your formal rules first:

<teach it your language here> .. I'm giving you quite a puzzle so try to figure this one out and translate to miniKanren in Scheme (you will notice the blank line between definitions which signifies the end of one definition and the beginning of the next - variables do not necessarily mean the same thing from one definition to the next - V(VS) is a way to update V within the second definition as the variegation of S before moving rightward with subsequent constraints that may use the new value of V):

(VS)(US)=(UR)R
VARIEGATE
STORY
S(U)MMARIZE
RESULT.

(HS)V(VS)(LV)<(LS)V
S(H)ORTEN
STORY
VARIEGATE
LENGTH

Challenge accepted! Let's translate your declarative constraint logic into miniKanren in Scheme. Here’s a step-by-step approach based on your constraints:

It actually works which completely floored me :))

Graph DBs are not magic. If you drill down into their query/execution plans it becomes very obvious that there isn't really a technical distinction between a traditional RDBMs and a Graph DB.

If you need graph traversal you can just as well use a table with edge-like indexing and recursive CTEs, and in the future with implementations of SQL/PGQ you can also do that in a "nice" Cypher-like syntax.

Hey, thanks for trying out.

I did check out with the csv you linked. It worked for me. https://ibb.co/cb3SFbR. Before making it live, I did already test it with 100MB+ CSV's having like 10+ columns.

I also checked my sentry integration, but couldn't find any errors to your issue. Seems to me like OS/browser level ram restriction. In case you have anything to help me with debug this, do share..

Im using regular sqlite-wasm. No custom stuff.

Thanks..
I’ll just add a datapoint that nothing like that works for me. I’ve tried every ‘sleep hygiene’ regime, every technique etc. for 15 years or so after finishing University (and scraping through due to what I later realised was basically chronic sleep deprivation) and literally none of it helps a jot for me.

There’s so much going on with circadian rhythms and the difficulty of trying to go against your natural rhythm can be (in my experience) almost unbelievable to someone who hasn’t experienced having actual disorders in that area.

For some people it’s just not ‘knowing how to sleep’ or an issue with discipline, but for a decent number there’s actually deeper causes that are incredibly difficult to fight against (my sleep doctor literally advised me that I might have the best success in the long term moving somewhere where the culture is to wake later!).

> common understanding of blockchains

This is funny because as a CS grad, I cringe about 75% of the time when blockchain enthusiasts make pitches that are oblivious to the workings of blockchains, the tech underneath, and their alternatives.

If the blockchain community can't understand blockchain, it's going to be nigh impossible to convey comprehension to the general public.

The general public generally just wants the authorities whose job it is to manage voting to do so in a competent manner. It's worth noting that there's really only been one candidate for national election in modern history who has called into question the fairness of our elections. (And then only when he lost.)

Most of us understand that the folks who work for the Secretaries of State are generally doing the best they can with the resources we provide, and we don't want to provide more resources so they can do a "better" job.

Yes, please, fix the UX. That was my biggest gripe, working as an FSR at the bank.

One particular thing was we had to convert transit #s into branch numbers regularly. We did this by looking at a sheet of paper of course. Eventually I got fed up and wrote a web app so you could just punch in the numbers and have it instantly convert. I checked and people are still using it 10 years after I quit, which means nothing has changed and they're still using the same god awful software.

They did move some data at some point. I know this because they screwed that up too and partially merged my mom's and my bank accounts, which is a pretty bad error. Would be worse if it was some rando. Speaking of... That's exactly what AT&T did.
This whole article is about SPA and making a careful distinction between SPA and MPA as distinct concepts. aaronbrethorst has not indicated that he is confused about whether MPA and SPA are the same idea.

JPM is recently building greenfield SPAs using Tanner's router. I'm writing an SPA right now for drone automation platform for 1M+ population cities. I recently helped plan out a rewrite for an SPA for a vision ML startup worth 2B. For every front-facing user property that you see there are dozens more internal tooling apps backing it, from dashboards to CMS.

If you're building an SPA then Next does nothing to help you. It just gets in your way. There has been no churn for SPAs as the conversation has frozen for nearly a decade. One might point out CRDTs but that conversation began about a half decade before React was even released.
Reddit turned on Musk as soon as he started nearing the top of the Forbes list. They rooted for him to be successful, and when he was, they hated him for it. The reductionist, "rich == bad", thinking on Reddit was one of the many things that drove me away from the site.
When dimensionality increases so does distance, but distance doesn't matter, we only care about relative distance compared to different points.

It doesn't have to be a singular mass of people being coerced by a single entity. Lots of wives being coerced by lots of husbands is also corrosive to elections.
I Created a Casual Game Website Using AI Programming: LevelDevil.club
Why I Created LevelDevil.club, a Gaming Website
As a fan of casual games, I have always been passionate about challenging and exploring various online gaming worlds. One day, while browsing short videos, I stumbled upon a blogger sharing a quirky platformer game featuring absurdly difficult levels and creative twists. I was immediately intrigued. As I scrolled through the comments, I saw many people asking for the game's name (it took several pages of comments before someone finally provided it!). That’s when I thought, why not create a site that compiles such interesting games in one place, making it easier for friends to play together and share?
So, I decided to take action.
Even though I am a programming novice, the recent trend of AI programming caught my attention. I've seen numerous videos claiming that even those with no background can set up their own websites or game sites. Driven by determination, I quickly researched and started using various AI programming tools. After three days, I successfully built the LevelDevil.club single-page game site from scratch. The process was challenging, but very rewarding.
About the Content
LevelDevil.club offers the Level Devil game, which you can play online for free, available on both PC and mobile devices. In the future, I plan to aggregate more popular games from the web and optimize them to ensure a quick start and smooth gaming experience, continually striving for new challenges and enjoyment.
Whether you are a seasoned gaming enthusiast or looking for fun challenges for the kids at home, LevelDevil.clubs is the beginning of your casual gaming journey. Welcome to the platform, and get ready to experience heart-pounding level challenges!

>NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability which could allow a privileged attacker to escalate permissions. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering

What does “privileged attacker” mean on Linux? In my mind, “privileged” would mean they already have root, but in that case there’s nothing to escalate, right?
