> What similar opportunities are we missing today?

Something You have not done yourself or something for what You have not paid to someone else to do.

Life is complicated, it is very typical when appear opportunity but nobody use it. Because to use opportunity need 3 things:

1. The will.
2. Enough qualification (or enough IQ and time to learn).
3. Free (!!!) resources or cheap borrowed funds.

If only one thing from list is missing, it become extremely hard to use opportunity. For example, I live in Ukraine, and even without war, regulations in country are so prohibitive, that many services are not enter country or enter with severe limitations, like Paypal only enter with private accounts, but business accounts are not available in Ukraine.

> Absolutely no headaches working on dozens of local python projects.

The other day, I moved over to a new container base image that's supposed to run Ansible inside of it. Almost immediately, when trying to manage a RHEL8 compatible host, I got this error: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82068

I've had issues not only with Python projects that I write, but also with software that's relying on it. Then again, while there are both problems and ways around those, my experience has been similar with pretty much every tech stack out there: from Java apps that refuse to run on anything newer than JDK 8 (good luck updating dozens of Spring dependencies across approx. half a million lines of code in a codebase that's like a decade old), to hopelessly outdated PHP versions or software that works on ancient Yarn versions but not on newer ones and doesn't even build correctly when you move over to Node with npm or software that's stuck on old Gulp versions. Same for Ruby and Rails versions that will run, or .NET and ASP.NET codebases, where the framework code ends up being tightly coupled to the business logic, don't even get me started on front ends that rely on Angular (or AngularJS), Vue (2 to 3 migrations) or React. I've had Debian updates break GRUB, AMD video drivers for the iGPU on the 200GE preventing it from booting, differences between Oracle JDK and OpenJDK having a 10x impact on performance, Nextcloud updates corrupting the install, the same happening with GitLab installs, just a day ago I had a PostgreSQL instance refuse to start up with: PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record. PostgreSQL, of all software.

Sometimes churn feels unavoidable if you don't want code to rot and basically everything is brittle. All software kind of sucks, sometimes certain qualities just suck a bit more than the average. Containers and various version management tools make it suck a bit less, though!
Great, now I can’t help it either.
> This is the sum type

This is the exact same thing, except in addition to the tag there is also a data component. Yes, this is the more traditional representation of sum types, but having an "undefined" data component is still identifiable as a sum type. It is the tag that makes the union a sum type.

In Typescript terms, which I think illustrates this well, it is conceptually the difference between:

{ kind: 0 } | { kind: 1 }

and

{ kind: 0; data: T } | { kind: 1; data: U }

Which is to say that there is no difference with respect to the discussion here.

> They are an enumeration of discrete values

Yes, the "tag" is populated with an enumerator. There is an enumerator involved, that it is certain, but it is outside of the type system as the user sees it. It's just an integer generated to serve as an identifier – an identifier like seen in the above examples – but provided automatically. The additional information you can gain from it, like exhaustive matching, comes at the type level, not the number itself.

> Rust conflates the 'enum' keyword with sum types.

Right, because it too uses an enumerator to generate the tag value. Like Ord(foo) before, you can access the enumerated in Rust with something like

mem::discriminant(&foo)

The spoken usage of 'enum' in Rust is ultimately misplaced, I agree. An enumerator is not a type! But it is not wrong in identifying that an enumerator is involved. It conflates 'enum' only in the very same way you have here.

So what's the estimate of combatants to non. If 70% women and children, it's not 30% combatants.

Half the population is children and 44% of the killed. 46% of the adults killed were women. If all disproportionate adult male deaths were combatants that's less than 10:1 civilian combatant ratio, but it seems unlikely all the disproportionate male deaths would be combatants as Israel if it is taking care to minimize civilian casualties would be less likely to kill lone women walking for water, etc.

I'd guess 25:1 or more, if this data doesn't have other major biases.
Please forgive the weird analogy, but if I'm on the market for a radio, I really don't want to buy a car just for its radio. Especially if there's no way to use the radio without that specific car.
TLDR: <0.02mm should be possible w/open source using cheap fabs.

Interesting project. The hardware guy earlier built a rotary encoder and a vape pen. I am no metrologist (though by chance I once worked for the UK guy who brought Hexagon to China and made bank), this looks overall like quite a complex scheme that was probably referenced from an existing implementation. These days you can get 0.10mm pitch tracks and offsets ("4 mil") or 0.09mm ("3.5 mil") from JLC on 2 layer/4+ layer. With flex PCBs you can get still smaller pitch ("3 mil"). Combining a few rows of these with basic multi-track rotary encoder theory should give you portions thereof, ~0.01-0.02mm.

This back of hand calculation aligns well with my Mitutoyo's test report, which states maximum permissible error is 0.04mm @ 5mm diameter, 0.02mm @ 0-200mm, and 0.03mm @ 300mm. Indicated errors on the test report are all in the range of 0mm-0.02mm except inside radius which is 0.03mm. This would be a standard high grade caliper level of precision.

In practice, achieving these levels is going to require machining high grade steels and mounting them at high levels of parallelism, not simply working out the electronics.

I had a think about it as I was writing that comment, and honestly, all I think you're missing is tap tempo. That's it. I thought that maybe the ability to set a different scale for each of the four different instruments would be cool, but I'm not sure that it wouldn't complicate the UX too much. Tap tempo, though, would be useful and I imagine fairly easy to implement.

I waited a while to reply to see if anyone else had anything to say about this. What jurisdiction doesn't triage heart transplants? Someone who eats $3,000/yr at mcdonalds vs someone who eats $50/yr at mcdonalds would be information pertinent to triage, wouldn't it? Even if you suppose that all human life is equal, then the amount of time a life is extended with a transplant matters, and the $50/yr person will probably (in the statistical sense) live longer than the other, all other things equal.

Maybe the committees don't "action" on this information because they don't have it, but it would be very silly to not use this information. I'd be curious what sort of triage wouldn't use this information. First-come first-serve?

if your goal is to maximize the length of human lives, that is, to put donor hearts to the maximum use for value, you'd have to use information like this!

I was equally dismissive of the actual importance of philosophizing whether mitochondrias are alive or not, but this paragraph made me change my mind.

> It seems Mitochondria are not bound to their host cell; they can travel between different cells. Although different species carry distinct mitochondria, experiments show that mitochondria from one species can be transferred to another.

> In 1997, scientists isolated mitochondria from chimpanzees and gorillas and showed that they are naturally internalized and integrated into human cells. Notably, the addition of external mitochondria even showed therapeutic benefits in heart failure and spinal cord injury. Thus, the potential niche that mitochondria can live in is greater than their effective niche.

So it seems like they are more symbiote than organelle, that's amazing.
Yeah I only use calipers and micrometers for machining--I haven found any use for additive manufacturing--and never in metric units because all my tools are imperial. Just strange the calipers punish metric users by giving them only half the precision.
Can you explain in simple terms? I see physical reality as almost redundant and consciousness seems to be able to do everything.
> Phones are still stolen (since the cost of theft is $0) but stolen phones are worth closer to $5 than $1000.

I have read that there are services offered by specialized criminals to unlock stolen iPhones. These basically amount to phishing schemes where they trick the owner into entering their apple ID and password on a site under their control.

They can then factory reset the iPhone, but they also get to mine the phone/account for crypto, banking details, identity theft, etc.

Potentially the value of a stolen iPhone can be more than the aftermarket price, since draining a bank account has unbounded gain.

Low level thieves are getting $300-$600 for stolen phones.

I'll drop you my classification file shortly. It's mostly-manual classification with some pattern-based assignments. Every site that's appeared on the front page a minimum of 15 times, IIRC, and quite a few below that threshold. Coverage is about 65% of front-page articles 2007--2023.

Slug-selection is a tough challenge. AI may not solve it, but at least it will make it more non-deterministic ;-) Reviewing the site again, you're largely doing quite well.

(I'd really like to see a widely-used abstract or summary semantic markup usage, though microformats seem not to have been widely adopted: <https://microformats.org/>.)

The layout / horizontal breaks observation is mostly something that's nagged me for ages in card-based layouts going back to Google+ in the early 2010s. It took me a while to realise that what nagged me about the layout was having multiple columns of cards with no vertical coherence. It just sort of jumbles in my mind, and I'm not sure if that's a cognitive defect of mine or a more general response. I've come to appreciate print-based layout practices increasingly with time, particularly as I find online / fluid layouts increasingly less satisfactory.

(I've made some past observations about layout and on-screen reading on traditional displays vs. a large-format e-ink display. I increasingly strongly prefer the latter for reading, though even there many issues remain.

IMO the main reason Raymond Chen is so good at that, he does that a lot. Unless you work for Microsoft, it’s very unlikely your job requires analyzing thousands of crash dumps of random third-party programs.

I do that very rarely, and I only analyze the dumps of the programs I made. Of course, Raymond is way better than me at that, but I’m fine with it. People pay me to develop software for them; I only debug stuff when I have to.

It didn't necessarily happen only once; maybe we were left with the most successful instance.
From the first paragraph of the linked article:

"Mistaking the map for the territory is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone confuses the semantics of a term with what it represents. Polish-American scientist and philosopher Alfred Korzybski remarked that "the map is not the territory" and that "the word is not the thing", encapsulating his view that an abstraction derived from something, or a reaction to it, is not the thing itself. Korzybski held that many people do confuse maps with territories, that is, confuse conceptual models of reality with reality itself."

This article is framed as if there is something novel and profound here, but the "aliveness" of mitochondria is simply a matter of how we choose to apply the label "life" - a human linguistic construct that exists independently of the biological phenomena. This is not a new discussion - science has been considering this question for many decades, just as it has with viruses. These all come down to arguments about semantics and don't add anything to the science.

Mitochondria are fascinating and there is still a huge amount to learn about them but they are totally dependent on the cell's machinery. Most of their genes, the code for their structure, are in the nuclear DNA. A glaring omission if you are trying to make the case that mitochondria are independently living. My heart can exist independently of me, and be transplanted into other people, but does it mean that it is alive?

The implication of the whole article is that there something we have missed. This really isn't the case. Lynn Margulis's endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria was challenged by many, and it did spark a scientific debate - that's how science works. She won the argument comprehensively decades ago and is well established science. There have been many such endosymbiotic events in the history of life - there are subfields of evolutionary biology that study these processes.

>It's not even that. You can host third-party speech without Section 230, you just also gain liability from moderating that content.

And if you don't moderate, your site turns into a cesspit of spam, illegal and disgusting stuff. Like the chans/kuns. Although even those sites are moderated to remove illegal stuff like CSAM.

So no. Not moderating isn't really a viable option if you want folks to actually post relevant/reasonable third-party content on your internet property.

I tell you what. Go ahead and implement a Pixelfed or Mastodon (or Lemmy or whatever) instance and open it up for anyone to sign up and use. Then don't moderate it in any way and see what becomes of it.

Assuming you aren't arrested for hosting CSAM, you'll likely find that your site is filled with spam and offensive garbage. So much so that the normal folks won't want to use it.

Huh. This is the correct news, but a different article to the one I recall. However, very interesting;

> The first occurred about 2.2 billion years ago, when an archaea swallowed a bacterium that became the mitochondria.

> The second time happened about 1.6 billion years ago, when some of these more advanced cells absorbed cyanobacteria that could harvest energy from sunlight.

> And now, scientists have discovered that it’s happening again. A species of algae called Braarudosphaera bigelowii was found to have engulfed a cyanobacterium that lets them do something that algae, and plants in general, can’t normally do – "fixing" nitrogen straight from the air, and combining it with other elements to create more useful compounds.

So, tremendously rare, at least to our knowledge at this time, but not a one-off.

I had a rice cooker a long time ago and it was fine, but it was really too big for my needs.
