Not really. The primary issue with Bitcoin x quantum computers is that older Bitcoin transactions contained a full public key (and not a fingerprint / wallet address), so a quantum computer could manipulate that to make a false signature on wallets including Satoshi's (this would be obvious and detectable if someone starts moving very dormant coins).
For the larger network there are some other points where it becomes an issue, but before then you'd need to fix HTTPS web traffic and PGP, too.

No well-known permissive open software license includes any promise to do future development, much less to make it available under the same license terms. A key draw of permissive licensing is that anyone can fork and put new work under new and different terms.

Who would promise perpetual maintenance for nothing? What organization would sign up to be the only one that can't change terms for improvements?

I don't think "social contract" makes sense here. There's no sovereign power involved. In the sense used, "social contract" essentially means "not in the contract"---as in not in the terms. It's a back door for saying things that were never put down ought to be treated like they were in the license file, just because one side really wants them and doesn't want to DIY or pay for them.

If there are disappointed expectations, that's another thing. But being even very disappointed, and being able to find other like-minded people who would prefer no disruption and new freebies forever, doesn't make unfounded expectations enforceable, nor should it.

I'd be extremely careful speaking of any singular "community". And of assuming that everyone in it expected Redis or another similar project to work just like Linux or other exceptional projects. Most devs dealing with open source have a project relicense---among many others than simply grind to a halt---at some point in their career. For some devs, Redis may have been the first. Others "adopted" Redis knowing the risk and accepting it.
Super cool. Any way to know if the endpoints are 'ethically sourced' and how they are secured wrt confidentiality & integrity?

You have you differentiate within immigrants too. East Asian and Indians do significantly better than white Americans. White Americans are usually a distant third.
I’d urge you to not feel small.

First of all, the formalism/practice gap is real: taking API calls and updating a database correctly has a mountain of formalism around it. And it is not easy to get right! Concurrent sequential processes and distributed systems theory and a bunch of topics have a huge formalism. It is also the case that many (most?) working software engineers have internalized much of that formalism: they “play by ear” rather than read sheet music, but what matters is if it sounds good.

Second, whether it’s quantum computing or frontier machine learning or any other formalism-heavy topic? It’s eminently possible to learn this stuff. There’s a certain lingering credentialism around “you need a PhD” or whatever, I call BS: this stuff is learnable.

Keep hacking, keep pushing yourself on topics you’re passionate about, but don’t consign yourself to some inferior caste. You’re just as likely as the next person to be the next self-taught superstar.
Yeah, you really need to elaborate yourself.

You can easily find me on Mysterious Twitter X, Reddit, and many other places looking up my username (might not necessarily be an exact match).

Account age has nothing to do with this, many people have alternative accounts and this guy literally named his account "throwaway2037".

I really am not sure what you're trying to argue here.
It's nice that that partition (ie: ethnicity) seems to cheer people up (or perhaps not, depending on how one thinks about it).

On the other hand, there's probably some partition - even if it's preference of {boxers, briefs, lingerie, 'commando'} - for any academic field by which one nation is better for each part.

It is possible that every group of immigrants to America is better at baking strudel than its corresponding group in Germany. Still more likely to find good German strudel.

The fact that their software is written only to just follow the car in front, and completely and immediately give up if there's no car in front or one cannot be seen due to it being dark or bad weather, on premapped roads.

Meanwhile FSD has repeatedly shown that's it's capable of driving without a car in front.

You can watch YouTube videos of FSD driving without a car in front for thousands of miles on non-premapped roads.

As much as the US justice system is deeply, deeply flawed, it is one of the few places where very wealthy people ever hit the "find out" stage after fucking around. Some recent examples, apart from this case, certainly include SBF going to prison, Elon Musk being forced to buy Twitter, Alex Jones' enormous civil judgment, and so on.

I'm not saying I have faith in the system, exactly, especially when it tends to only do this at the behest of other very wealthy people demanding it, but it is nice to see.

I'm all keto / very low carb for 4 plus years. I have been on dozens of different diets, not an exaggeration. Other than the eat whatever I want diet this has been by far the easiest for me to maintain long term. For me eating just a little bread is an insurmountable goal, but eating none I can do. I wouldn't have always traded carbs for a few extra years of cognitive function, but post addiction it feels like a good deal, if I can still get it.

> a vegan for years and my health deteriorated

That’s unfortunate and I’m sorry to hear that.

For others reading, know that this is extremely rare. Most people on a vegan diet are healthy (you have to make sure you’re eating a balanced diet, and you don’t need nearly as much protein as you think you do). For iron (which can be lacking especially in women), cook on a cast iron or high carbon steel pan and it will transfer iron into your food that you’ll absorb.

I encourage people who are curious about it to watch « Game Changers » where top athletes (Lewis Hamilton, Schwarzenegger, others) talk about switching to a vegan diet and it’s effect on their health and performance. https://www.netflix.com/title/81157840
There's a great deal of research on colour expression and perception in different languages - some of it summarized very well in Guy Deutscher's very accessible pop-sci book "Through the Language Glass". Nobody (edit: apparently except this historian cited in TFA - well, he's a historian, not a psycholinguist) seriously doubts (anymore) that humans fundamentally perceive the same colours (barring specific disabilities), but we do carve up the colour space in different ways, although usually along a predictable path: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_term#Color-term_hierar...

The whole idea that the Ancient Greeks were maybe colour blind came up due to Homer's epics containing descriptions such as "the wine-dark sea" while never really using a specific term for blue (that would be found in later Greek). Nowadays we understand this to mean that colour description in Homeric times was more focused on light vs. dark than on exact hues.

There have been at least some studies showing measurable, though small, effects of this on processing speed, e.g. Russians being slightly faster at distinguishing different shades of blue than English speakers: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0701644104

In my opinion this is consistent with the general idea that the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is bunk, but some weak effects of language patterns influencing habitual thought can be found.

When you write

> But claims like that are made as part of the everything-is-relative-and-culturally-determined movement.

it sounds like you're trying to engage in some cultural war thing that I will stay out of, but in general it's probably better to look at the actual data instead of dealing in sweeping generalisations.

Those that had money earlier earned that money somehow, presumably by taking risks and earning the reward from those risks, instead of the risk showing up.

The more risk you take, you hopefully get more expected return, but of course with more risk taken. The risk must show up eventually or it wouldn't be a risk.

There is no guarantee of that return. There is risk with investing. Without risk, there can be no return.

You can diversify some of the risk by owning lots of companies, but that doesn't make all risks go away.
Informative article! I did have a question about this passage though.

"It seems that he is spending a lot of his time & effort on maintaining his hair (huge kudos for admitting that!). If his body was functioning like an 18-year old he should not need to do that. If Bryan really set back his true aging clock he probably would not be battling with ongoing hair loss (as he most likely did not battle hair loss 20 years prior), or at least it would stop (which does not seem to be the case)."

Is this true? I suppose it's a question of what one defines as aging but I thought male pattern baldness resulted from hair follicles physically shrinking in response to exposure to androgens. That's a very different process than an accumulation of senescent / poorly differentiated cells, which is what I have always heard described as the key hallmark of aging

I also have numerous acquaintances working in various capacities in schools (public, charter, and private) and have to say I regard all the things mentioned in the linked articles as severely under-reported. Retaliation against teachers and staff who try to get kids services at charters is a thing. Public school districts and counties having to foot evaluation costs for parochials is a thing. Refusing and avoiding evaluations for kids in charters so they can be kicked out for behavior and then the publics have to foot the evaluation costs is a thing.

I completely think if local districts (and/or families) had a spine or the right legal resources they could be suing charters who've not even tried to follow or service existing IEPs left and right when those kids are constantly enrolling in publics mid year (with those kids generally exhibiting broad spectrums declines against academic and IEP goals).

To add on to this, what about absorption? Like, calories in is important but are there foods that have a certain number of calories when measured in the lab but we actually don't extract all those calories in real life? Does gut microbiome have an effect? What about gut permeability ?
None, and in fact it has been proposed that men suffering from AGA, especially if it's early onset, may have something equivalent to polycystic ovarian syndrome in women.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28711970/

The occurrence of a genetic background in the etiology of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) represents the rational basis to postulate the existence of a male PCOS equivalent. Hormonal and metabolic abnormalities have been described in male relatives of women with PCOS. These males also have a higher prevalence of early onset (<35 years) androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

Hence, this feature has been proposed as a clinical sign of the male PCOS equivalent.

Clinical evidence has shown that men with early onset AGA have hormonal and metabolic abnormalities. Large cohort studies have clearly shown a higher prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus (DM II) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in elderly men with early onset AGA. In addition, prostate cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis have been described.

These findings support the existence of the male PCOS equivalent, which may represent an endocrine syndrome with a metabolic background, and might predispose to the development of DM II, CVDs, prostate cancer, BPH and prostatitis later in life. Its acknowledgment would be helpful for the prevention of these long-term complications.
Man I know many people who work for Broadcom but how do they wake up in the morning and go work for this place? Honestly what is the purpose of Broadcom completely killing this product? VMware was a beloved tech marvel for a long time. This is a complete travesty. Can someone explain what Broadcom’s motive is? To me, they seem to be simply the tech equivalent of Luxottica; pure evil.
FWIW, you don’t really have to fast to be in ketosis. You just need to get very few of your daily calories from carb intake.

People often don't realize what they're missing out on: how many tasks become dramatically easier with even basic mastery of high school math, coding fundamentals, or keyboard shortcuts.

Consider those who can't create a pivot table in Excel or perform equivalent calculations in tools like Pandas, R, or SQL. Most don't think they need these skills, and they're technically right. They can get through life without ever aggregating data, resorting to manual methods when necessary.

But they'll encounter countless situations where these skills would offer a faster or more elegant solution to their challenges. Since they can't see these missed opportunities, they assume they don't exist.
You have to fast for a long time before your body starts fueling you from ketones.
In my state charters often advertise religious-adjacent or patriotic angles despite being ostensibly secular. Though it is more common for true religious schools to be private non-charters, which sets them up to have some extra hoops for state funding.

In AZ also keep in mind that the funding difference is complicated by education scholarship accounts, which are bankrupting the state.

In the very Wikipedia page it says:

> Marco Polo called Japan 'Cipangu' around 1300, based on the Chinese name,[6] probably 日本國; 'sun source country' (compare modern Min Nan pronunciation ji̍t pún kok).

The pronunciation "Japan" is from Chinese (or, to be pedantic, some Chinese language) pronunciation of 日本, which is pronounced as Nippon in Japan. It happened because the Chinese character 日 ("sun") has widely different sounds in modern languages. Probably it had an unusual sound in the old time.

Fantastic site! Well done, beautifully executed, and very inviting.

I play the guitar (and keys) -- but I'm a bit light on the theory part of it -- and this looks very much like I could use a refresher.

Kudos!
I don't think that is true. Some expert (Dale Bredesen maybe) said somewhere that a healthy person lacking the bad habit of eating late in the evening will tend to start producing and burning ketones during sleep every night.

Also, many experts are saying that if your body cannot burn fats and ketones, which is unhealthy, you can get it start being able to again by restricting carbs for a while.
Correct. And although the final layer outputs a softmax of the token probabilities, the model by that point surely has a rich understanding of more than just the next token it wants to predict.

I recently moved and while unpacking a box, I found a still shrink-wrapped copy of OS/2 version 2.1.

I was tempted to open it and see if I could install it on an old computer, but realized I no longer had one with a 3.5 inch floppy drive.

System requirements on the side of the box:
Intel 386 SX compatible computer
4.0MB of memory minimum (6.0MB recommended) - yes that is Megabytes!
The 3.5 inch floppy drive
A mouse or compatible pointing device.

Brings back memories...
I'm impressed! Every couple of years I come across a different music theory website and I try to follow along, but inevitably after a few sentences I'm completely lost and the rest becomes incomprehensible.

I got really far along in yours, which was great, until I got to 6 (Keys): "When a song says that it is in the key of C Major or D Minor this is simply telling you which of the 12 notes are used in this song." You then give examples of Major and Minor keys, each of which contains seven notes. This threw me for a loop. Are you saying every song consists of exactly seven notes (some repeated, obviously) from only one key? Or are you saying every song uses at least some notes from a key? Also, don't some songs switch keys in the middle?

Not looking for answers here, just wanted to point out where I got stuck so maybe you can add some clarity to that section.
Successful open source projects historically involve a bunch of companies lowering their costs by commoditizing expensive commercial functionality. Server operating systems, version control, programming environments used to be very expensive.

Linux, git, Python, Postgres, etc weren’t about getting rich, but about making something cheap and easy.

The paradox of these single company backed OSS projects is somehow making a big chunk of it free/open but collecting money off of other services. To me, I’m not sure that’s worked yet. Many will even say that these companies aren’t really doing open source in the traditional sense, but acting as commercial vendors that let you look at the code.
"The prototype watch is estimated to fetch between $8,000 and $16,000 when it appears at the Time for Art auction, organized by Phillips Watches, in New York on Saturday."

$8-16 thousand does not seem that high of a price for this... Especially when compared to the prices other high end watches fetch.

As someone currently on a strict ketogenic diet (gotta cut and get ready for the Christmas fattening)

I can say ketones are something else in the brain. I sat at my desk today for 6 hours straight without even getting so much as a drink of water. I didn't even think about eating. Just in the zone and hyper focused.

A very weird and pleasant experience, that alas can't be sustained forever given how delicious carbs are.

VoiceType: Mac Dictation tool. Running locally with WhisperLarge Turbo. So its fast accurate and can get a lot of Rust Library names correctly when I use with Cursor.

Why I Built It?

I ended up getting RSI over the last year and half. Despite lifting 3x a week and physio-therapy, circumstances had me working >12-15hours 6-7days a week for a few months straight. I’d read about folks using diction but never worked well for me or was pricey software.

At the same time I started using ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor etc quite a bit. When the Whisper Large turbo model was released by OpenAI, I tried transcribing some technical terms and it got transcribed quite well. ( still makes errors, but its within tolerance of what ChatGPT et.all can understand). I mostly talk type to my Mac now.
