You are completely right that we should be thinking far more creatively about manipulating mitochondria. There are a lot of diseases (including Covid) that have mitochondrial aspects. I just don't think calling them alive helps, other than to get you some decent exposure on HN :)
Your philosophy is consistent with panpsychism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panpsychism). Not really clear how this affects the major discussion here, which is about objective reality as determined by science, and so far as we can tell, neither life nor consciousness is not a prerequisite for reality. It's a fun idea to play with but firmly outside the realm of something we could experiment with scientifically.

In 2020 there were more Republican presidential votes in California (6,006,518[1]) than there were in Texas (5,890,347[2]). The Republican votes in California basically had no say in determining the outcome of the election. Was that fair to them?

> The implication of the whole article is that there something we have missed.

I think this article is talking to people who haven't internalized the details of the scientific consensus. Those people are still going around, talking about "life" and making decisions based on the flawed understanding this article is critiquing. I think it's likely that the thing that "has been missed" is not narrowly scientific in the way you seem to be thinking - but more about broad implications and worldview.

Yes, but she never bothered to offer any other alternative and also never addressed the gorilla in the room: conducting experiments in fundamental physics is expensive. How are we supposed to best use our limited funds?

You can't run experiments willy-nilly in the hopes that something interesting happens. We run experiments to test theories and the only tool we have for developing theories is mathematics - and we're ignoring when our mathematical models lead to nonsense such as singularities.

Yes, it's taken on faith by scientists that we live in an objective universe with cold hard reality outside our consciousness. It seems like a reasonable assumption, consistent with all our observations. It seems not unreasonable to assume that in the early universe there was nothing living, then at some point, through random chance, the first living things became alive (possibly from some non-alive replicators), and then later, the first living things with consciousness came to be. Again, all of this is consistent with our observations, but effectively taken on faith/treated as an assumption.
I personally learned a lot by messing in Cheat Engine, it is way more capable than I thought, specially because I mostly used it as a kid and never looked back.

It is a great tool to get started with assembly in my opinion because the disassembler is good enough and you can write what they call 'assembly scripts' which provides the foundation on doing memory patches in x86 asm. Then from that you can start writing your own utils to patch the games at your own will.

You can do crazy cheats by patching the game just with Cheat Engine!
I use DO as well and I use GitHub actions.

My backend is node-ts and a couple Go programs.

Via actions I can restart pm2, build Go, restart those services, and it works great.

As for monitoring, I’m just relying on the DO resource alerts. They’re fine for my needs.

Sorry if it’s too basic. Your needs may very well be different.

I’m trying to keep my setup as simple as possible since I’m solo right now. I used to be a platform engineer before and I don’t think I need anything fancier until I have a few hundred plus customers (b2b) and a dozen employees. Could be wrong, but it’s a full time job doing anything more imo.

> Thus the drug is $11/month but costs me $60 in time to wait in that line

In what reality? You were not being paid $60 to grocery shop or whatever else you might have done with that 15 minutes. Nor did it actually reduce your bank account by $60 to wait 15 minutes. If you applied this logic to everything in life, reading this very comment probably "cost" you a dozen bucks too. What a fun way to live?

I think the future of pesticides and weed control in food production will be robots manually removing pests. No chemicals required.

FWIW, the 7th Amendment doesn't speak directly to individual rights of the person: "In Suits at common law... the right of trial by jury shall be preserved". It's a right of parties in a court case, which even in the 18th century could be corporations.

Many portions of the US Constitution speak to "person", "persons", and "people", such as the 14th Amendment. And the 14th Amendment is often used to preempt state powers, for example making state governments subject to the 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech provision. But the 7th Amendment has never been incorporated against the states. An appeal to the 7th Amendment in a federal court case doesn't really touch upon the debate of corporate personhood, at least not the academic debate. Though, there may be other aspects of the case that do.

This articulates several thoughts I've been having on the topic for a while now. I do think that the majority of the harm that I see genAI (primarily chatbots) presenting is directly related to it being designed to interact in a way that mimics an actual human being.

> Most of their genes, the code for their structure, are in the nuclear DNA.

Are they? I was under the impression that mitochondria are closer to pseudo-cells living inside human cells.

Wikipedia seems to confirm this [1]:

> Although most of a eukaryotic cell's DNA is contained in the cell nucleus, the mitochondrion has its own genome ("mitogenome") that is substantially similar to bacterial genomes.

> I’m convinced there’s a contingent of devs who don’t like/grok abstraction

I am one of them. I don't like Go, though. Enums and tagged unions aren't abstractions but fundamental features in my book. It's pretty transparent how they look in memory and there's nothing hidden about them.

What does confuse me are things like macros or annotations that magically insert something and make the code incomprehensible. I'm sure it's convenient to use, but it makes my brain try to manually translate it to simple instructions like a foreign language.

In my free time I like using Rust without custom traits (except a few iterators), that's close to the sweet spot for me.
People like to compare CRISPR as scissors or cut/copy-and-replace, but people should think of it more as 'find and replace all'.

There are a huge number of different organelles that evolved independently through events like this- other people mention chloroplasts but there are many others, and probably many yet undiscovered.

I would argue that the type of event that produced mitochondria is likely not rare at all, but certain pairings will so outcompete others that we should expect only one to survive and dominate.

They've used the blazar J1924-2914 to calibrate[1] for Sagittarius A*. From the paper[2]:

It can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 4 that the inner jet structure determined by 1.3 mm VLBI agrees well with the reported inner jet orientation at lower frequencies (e.g., Shen et al. 2002)

and from the conclusions:

For the first time, an AGN jet is spatially resolved with 1.3 mm VLBI with robust closure phase measurements. At pc scales, the inner jet direction is oriented toward the northwest (P.A.= −53◦) with respect to the assumed core, consistent with previous results.

The paper from 2002 can be found here[3].

EUV (not High-NA) is much, much more complex than Immersion Lithography—and China doesn’t have have that either—the optics (mirrors), the light source, the masks, everything under vacuum… A blank check (which the government would be happy to sign) is not enough to catch up on everything in 10 years, integrate it and then make it work reliably at a decent throughput. Not impossible, of course, which is why they are going to try.

To top it all off, a lot of this stuff is patented. Not that China cares all that much about Western patents, but violations in this area would make the geopolitical situation even more tense.

It sounds like a classic case of the Second System effect. Where the original product was functional but a maybe little too basic, so everybody has an idea of how to improve it.

> If iOS or Android added robust support for external monitors, external keyboards and pointing devices, I'd probably switch to it to get the increased resistance against attacks.

They basically do now?

On iOS I've never seen a BT keyboard not pair and I've never had problems with external monitors. Sometimes getting the right dongle so it plugs in is the bigger problem, but iPads have been USB-C for a while now, making it pretty much a non-issue, whenever I've tried.

I haven't tried with Android in a while, but I'd be surprised if it's much different than iOS at this point in time.

A good feedback cycle is good. Agreed on that. A shorter commitment cycle is also good. Gym memberships are particularly tough. You have to have the time for the exercise, no matter where you do it. You also have to have time for the commute to and from if it isn't at a place you were going to be anyway. Which is why I would suggest starting with just basic dumbbells at home. Every day.

This isn't even unique to exercise. Any added friction to doing something decreases the chances of it happening. Is why online shopping goes out of their way to make it easy to buy something. Even if it is something you want.

what about obligate intracellular parasites like mycoplasma? They are awfully close to mitochondria but we think of them as alive. They've lost many of their genes and can't survive without the host. Looking at those, you could almost see a path from an obligate intraceullular parasite to an organelle derived from a phagocytosed prokaryote.

I knew you would say that. While this is mathematically that's clearly not what you were implying by saying it is a minority of scans.

> But I think several of its characteristics resemble IaaS more than PaaS.

I disagree, but I understand why someone would think that, and if I were given an assignment to argue the point then I could probably convince people that K8S is IaaS, too. BUT, I think it's important for us to recognize that K8S is a platform, and by definition, anybody providing you that platform as a service has provided you a PaaS.

Maybe we should just say people don't want IaaS or PaaS, they want Kubernetes as a Managed Platform, or KaaMP! And who doesn't like camp?!
I've had a few de-Googled phones. It's entirely feasible. The way you do it is by replacing the factory OS with an Android fork that has been de-googled.

> You won't be able to download apps from the Play store

You don't need to. There are other app stores, and if you don't mind the slight inconvenience, you can sideload apps without using an app store at all. Which you might have to do in order to install the app you need to use an alternate app store.

It's not 100% -- there will be some apps that won't work (some banking apps, for example, don't want to run if the OS has been tampered with). But that kind of thing wasn't a showstopper for me, and there are often alternative apps you can use.

If it's just a case of not having a valid Google ID, then you probably don't even need to go full hog like that. You could likely get away with just using an alternate app store instead of the Play store. At least, that used to work. I haven't done it in a few years, though, so it may have changed.
I went through the process of gathering old sources for the games I wrote in that era. Using 68K Mac emulators (BasiliskII for example) I was able to also get the compilers and other dev tools of the era such that I could compile and run from source.

Looking through the sources, it was on one hand fun to marvel at the simplicity of the OS (and Mac Toolbox) from that era. I thought it was hard at the time though. Funny how hindsight (and lots and lots more experience) can change how you now see the past.

(I see so many cleaner styles of coding I could have adopted - have since adopted - when I look at my old sources.)

But I was amazed at how often the apps/OS crashed as I worked through trying to get them up and running within the emulators. At first I thought it was the emulator(s). But my next thought was ... maybe System 6 crashed all the time back then? I think so.

Example, I would run ResEdit (a development tool) and open a file that was also open in the IDE (THINK C or THINK Pascal). Crash!

Crashes required a reboot (often then requiring running Disk First Aid on the disk image and rebooting again...). I kind of see why Amiga guys laughed at us.

In fact I found a few bugs in sources from 35 years ago.

> access requires ID, like alcohol.

Not like alcohol. I know you know, but to spell it out for those that dont: there is a universal registry. Each purchase is tracked and tallied by name and residential address. Best case scenario is you are denied access, but you could also be raided.

It doesn't just require any old ID. Many, if not most, will not accept military ID. No foreign ID is accepted. Essentially, if your ID isn't a recent scannable ID issued by a US state, you don't get it. And I can't go a week without hearing that ID is a kind of ism.
I don't think this is functional programming as much as it is just a DSL for behaviour driven testing.

It doesn't feel like Go, really, but there is still a place for high level testing like that. Personally, I prefer it for integration testing and other situations where you might be asserting on multiple steps of functionality as part of a wider piece (like transactional business logic).
> I would argue that running a sale is benign compared to manipulating words in social media post to see how it influences your mood. What effect will that have on people with already fragile psyches?

This is such a dumb or disingenuous position.

Let's imagine you are a social media company, and these things happen:

1. people (researchers, media, doesn't matter) are reporting that they think the proliferation of negative sentiment on your social media is having a negative affect on user's moods.

2. based on your extensive experience and understanding of user behavior you think they are wrong. but still you recognize that if they are actually right it would be best for you to know that so you can make changes to fix it.

3. so, you decide to run an experiment where for some of the users you reduce the likelihood that they will see the types of posts that those researchers have identified as problematic, and you monitor the same sorts of signals that those researchers were looking at.

4. you get the results of your experiment. it doesn't actually matter what they say, if they say there's no effect, you now know that and apply it in the future, if they say there's a negative effect you try to mitigate it, if they say there's a positive effect maybe you try to amplify it. but really, that's not important because...

5. you tell people that you've done this research and made or not changes based on it. or it comes out in a leak that you did this by a disgruntled ex employee, or in a court case, also doesn't matter.

6. those same people as in (1), or others, frame the experiment you've done as a terrible thing where you were manipulating people's emotions for your own gain.
