I recently listened to this Diary of a CEO podcast episode [1] discussing the potential link between blood glucose from carbohydrate-heavy diets and cancer. It is an alternate metabolic theory of cancer, and the podcast guest claimed that fasting followed by a keto diet was showing early success as an intervention for cancer patients (as an addition, not a replacement, to existing standard of care). I have not seen the data nor do I know the sample size, but the discussion convinced me to rethink my carb intake.

Because you mentioned Germany and surprise bills...

My partner suffered a medical episode while we were traveling in Germany. Bystanders called an ambulance which turned up and checked her out and asked her to be taken to hospital for more tests.

She/we elected to not go with them.

To our surprise, about 6 months later after we returned home (to Australia), we received a letter in the mail (in German) that said we owed something like $500 for the ambulance, I forget the exact number.

How does that line up with "you will never face a surprise bill" in Germany? Or is it because we are foreigners?

We never paid but I sometimes wonder if something would happen should we return to Germany.
For me this predictions are kind of being aware of how progress can happen based on history, but this will not lead to any breakthrough. I am not in the camp of being skeptic so I still like the hype cycle, they create an environment for people to break the boundaries and sometimes help untested ideas and things to be explored. This might not have happen if there is no hype cycle. I am in the camp of people who are positive as George Bernard Shaw in his 2 quotes:

1. A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
2. The reasonable person adapts themselves to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to themself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable person. (Changed man to person as I feel it should be gender neutral)

In hindsight when we look back, everything looks like we anticipated, so predictions are no different some pans out some doesn't. My feeling after reading prediction scorecard is that you need a right balance between risk averse (who are either doubtful or do not have faith things will happen quickly enough) and risk takers (one who is extremely positive) for anything good to happen. Both help humanity to move forward and are necessary part of nature.

It is possible AGI might replace humans in a short term and then new kind of work emerges and humans again find something different. There is always a disruption with new changes and some survive and some can't, even if nothing much happens its worth trying as said in quote 1.

It's tricky because even though it's a choice in theory - and it is in lots of places - in many others it's effectively not allowed/safe to do that. This may be even the case for a specific family situation in an otherwise free and accepting area. Many kids don't get any choice. So until you can live a fully independent life, you may be born into a religion almost as much as your other traits.
You can regulate away healthy competition though.
From a purely relational perspective, if some piece of data can be absent, it's a 1:N relation where N<=1, and ought to be encoded as such.

(Of course, this is rather awkward in practice, and when NULL is there, it's inevitably going to be used for that instead.)

When it’s in a status where they’re demanding ID it “should be” deactivated.

Now they will delete the account after some time if if you refuse to give them ID. But they didn’t always do that, which meant they had your data and refuse to give it up. Basically forever.

They’re not a great company and they don’t care about anything. You might be better off claiming you live in California USA and demanding they delete it under CCPA, than to try as EU Right to be forgotten or EU privacy. And that’s dismal too because your laws are supposed to be better than ours.

You should be able to get a UPS store Mail Drop for a month or two while you correspond with them and or the California attorney generals office and raise some hell. Yes it’s garbage to suggest this but it works. They take ID and all that over the web to open a mailbox and “voila I live in California now.” If you have any friends online there , just ask if you can “live there” and get some mail there while you write letters to the AG and or meta

Use one that has the "240VDC (China only)" rating, and feed them proper DC.

Or get the modern western ~300V DC input ones, there's no good (technical) reason to feed AC from a non-grid-tie inverter to a SMPS-only circuit.

The DC can be quite passive, just switched in via a relay and anti-reverse-current-diode together with bridge-rectified mains, she otherwise just bare battery bank voltage
There's a reason modern data centers use that style of setup (except with a central power factor correcting rectifier, not a plain bridge rectifier, and often hanging the batteries on it directly using controlled rectifier output voltage to control battery charging).
SQL NULL is not "exactly equivalent" to unknown. E.g. in an outer join, there's nothing unknown about the result that is missing a row from one side, yet SQL semantics is to fill it with nulls.

In practice, it behaves as "unknown" in some contexts, as "missing value" in other contexts, and sometimes it's just plain WTF like SUM() returning NULL rather than 0 if there are no rows.
That's sort of from where I arrived at the propsed question as is; what examples of perfection exist so far as we can ascertain? Infinite in and of itself is a sort of "perfect" in its unobtainability, as is perfect 0° pure Kelvin, and with 0, we only ever can get infinitely closer. Perfection is in pi (I believe) perfect circles. It's what I call the undefinable quantity, or the unaccountable unit. None of this is novel but I think the connections are, between fields.

The brain is such an intractable web of connections that it has been really difficult to properly make sense of it.

We can't really talk too much about the differences between the intelligence of a dog and the intelligence of a human; in real terms. It seems as though humans might have more connections, different types of cells but then again; there's species out there that also have types of neurons we don't have and more dense regions in areas of the brain than we do.

And on top of that, dive into a single neuron and you will find a world of complexity. The reason why a neuron might fire or not given a stimuli is an extremely complicated and often stochastic process; that's actually one of the reasons why we use non-linearities in the neural networks we create. But how nuance are we really capturing?

The reason we do mathematics the way we do has well studied neurological patterns, we come out of the box with understandings of the world. And many animals do, actually, similar neurological patterns are found in different species.

It's incredible to think of the precision and the complexity of the tasks a fly undertakes during their life, and we actually have mapped the entire brain (if we can call it that, i would) of a fly. Every neuron and every connection the fly has. There's experiments done with neural networks where we've tried to imitate these (the brain of a fly has less parameters [number of nodes and edges] than modern LLMs) with very interesting results. But can we say we understand them? Not really.

And finally, I want to bring up something that's not usually considered when it comes to these things but there's a lot of processes at the molecular level in our cells that actually make use of quantum mechanics, there's a whole field of biology that's dedicated to studying these processes. So yeah, I mean, maybe we can build it but first we need to understand what's going on and why, I believe.

> Tell that to someone laid off when replaced by some "AI" system.
What are some good examples? I am very skeptical of anyone losing their jobs to AI. People are getting laid off for various reasons:
- Companies are replacing American tech jobs with foreigners
- Many companies hired more devs than they need
- companies hired many devs during the pandemic, and don't need them anymore

Some companies may claim they are replacing devs with AI. I take it with a grain of salt. I believe some devs were probably replaced by AI, but not a large amount.

I think there may be a lot more layoffs in the future, but AI will probably account for a very small fraction of those.
I don't remember all the details, but allegedly some undergraduates at a college very close to me in the late 80s were able to get limited Internet access by snagging the passwords of CS postgrads who had remote accounts at UCL via Janet, and logging in when they weren't around.

Boy, those scalliwags would have got into a lot of trouble if they had got caught.
Today my employer’s HR sent out an email telling everyone to put their family’s safety first and work can wait.

Guess I was wrong.
Waymo is the best driver I’ve ridden with. Yes it has limited coverage. Maybe humans are intervening, but unless someone can prove that humans are intervening multiple times per ride, “self driving” is here, IMO, as of 2024.

Q: What do you call alternative medicine that works? A: Medicine.

Seriously though, "bio hacks" are no different. If these things worked, it's very likely they'd just be normal practiced oncology. Oncology isn't a subfield of medicine where researchers are overly cautious about risks. The patient is practically guaranteed to die, so even if your research has a chance of killing the patient, that's an improvement.

It is far more likely that whatever shallow reading of the medical data you bring to the table is going to counterproductive than productive. I strongly suggest not meddling.
Some people will willingly work themselves into a mess without their employer’s help.

Without looking at the actual report, it is a pretty meaningless statistic. Maybe it's more significant by job category, but if hiring can either go up or down, and you say about half think it's going down, you haven't suggested a non-trivial conclusion.

A job platform for developers by developers (built by an experienced developer)
I've been a web developer for over 20 years now, and the current state of the industry when it comes to job hunting is ridiculous. The incumbent job boards are lacking and could do with drastic improvement.

This is my pitch for building a new platform, hopefully it resonates with other experienced devs here:

- Tired of rewriting your CV when it's already landed you interviews and compliments?

- Annoyed when experience is dismissed because it's a similar but different language or framework?

- Frustrated by search results that don't include the tech you're looking for or aren't even tech jobs?

- Wish all job ads showed pay ranges and remote policies upfront, saving you endless conversations?

- Fed up with being asked your desired (or worse, past) rate/salary instead of being offered market rate?

- Exhausted from digging through company fluff to find the actual job requirements?

I'm building a job platform for developers to solve these issues: https://devjobs.work/

(Recruiters/Employers: I'd love to work with you to create a better job search experience for everyone. Join the platform to post your roles in a way that ensures clear, relevant, and frustration-free listings.)

Probably EA
> Nobody said they wanted an iPod or iPhone or iPad or a Macbook Air before

What do you mean? There were MP3 players before the iPod, Blackberries and PDAs before the iPhone, and tablet computers and lightweight laptops before Apple popularized them, and people did expect the somewhat clunky early versions of these technologies to improve. For instance, there were a lot of jokes and commentary about the rapid evolution of cellphones in the 1995-2005 era as they went from horrible bricks to trendy gadgets with cameras, software, multimedia, and e-mail -- all before the iPhone had even started development. People were not totally blindsided when Apple offered their streamlined version of already-existing ideas.

Jobs should get credit for the leap in quality, functionality, and mass appeal his products represented, but lately I've noticed the history is getting exaggerated to the point where we were all using rotary phones and beige boxes like cavemen before Steve Jobs singlehandedly invented the laptop, tablet, and smartphone. But the truth is far more nuanced than that.
