Peak HN. “If it isn’t computers or viable within materialist reductionism and requires attention or effort then it’s elitist”

Maybe you just need to study more.

I wouldn’t want a half baked english student (in some perspectives, I might qualify as such) making judgement calls over the validity of one design approach over another when it comes to nuclear reactors.

Poetry is nuclear reactor of the soul and should be treated with as much reverence in your approach. What you think you understand is just a few glances at shadows. Keep going.

They did well but that loss was bad because of knock-on effects to the market. CalPERS lost some half of its value back then. But exposure to VC is very small (1-2% of fund size). They've marked down a lot of investments by more than the GFC losses but it barely affects CalPERS because <15% is in private markets and a small fraction of that is in venture.

That fund alone is over half a trillion so that's still a lot of money to allocate.
While I might agree with you on some points, I don't want to spend time reinventing the wheel and introduce bugs into it.

Take for example standard communication message formats like FHIR or HL7. You definitely don't want to implement the whole definitions for the standard, which is already complicated.

Writing Cryptographic functions by yourself is also typically a shot in your foot, has proved in all these years of found critical security issues.

We live in a time where you want to actual solve a business problem, by focusing on the problem and not on how the solution is built properly. With the advent of AI this is even more critical, since all the code feels like stitched together blindly.

Spending time on developing all by yourself might give you a good shot in the long run, but first you need to survive the competition, who maybe has already caught the market, by using fast and throw-away code at the beginning.
> Is there any open source or cheap ways to automate things on your computer?

MacOS has had Automator since 2005. It's far more like "programming" to use than a 2024-tier ML based system, but it was designed for non-programmers, and lots of people do use it.

Personally, I hate it.

Fusion research has had less than than tenth of this investment, but a viable fusion reactor would have far more impact than a tenth of what Stargate will likely deliver.

Not to mention efforts for mitigating climate change and ecological collapse. But of course those issues reside outside our economic system, so why would anyone invest in them.
Yes, I missed a word. And I believe pretty much everybody else realized what I meant to say.

Having grown up with CRTs, very few games look "better" on them; mostly games that used interlacing to create flashing effects. (Edit: Forgot that light guns need CRTs due to timing.)

Otherwise, CRTs are like vinyl: Some people will invent all kinds of reasons why they are better, but in practice, they aren't.
This is so hard to explain, especially to people dear to you. Like, how many times can you say I‘m sorry, I didn’t ignore your messages on purpose, I just… couldn’t before they grow tired of it? And at the same time you notice how you desperately long for the contact, but the guilt and shame for letting people wait indefinitely makes it ever harder to actually reach out. It’s a devious cycle, and constant source of ever-increasing stress.

Copy pasting the article: The aim of this study was to provide the first estimate of life expectancy for UK adults diagnosed with ADHD. We found that adults diagnosed with ADHD are living shorter lives than they should: the apparent years of life lost for males was around 7 years, and for females, 9 years, compared with the general population. We believe that this is unlikely to be because of ADHD itself and likely caused by modifiable factors such as smoking, and unmet mental and physical health support and unmet treatment needs. The findings illustrate an important inequity that demands urgent attention.
140 and 160 are related when it comes to SMS.

The GSM-7 alphabet is the most common one in use with SMS (or, at least, it was as UCS-2 is more common now with emojis and such).

160 is the number of GSM-7 characters.

160*7/8 = 140 which is the number of bytes in the userdata portion of the TPDU.

My understanding is that all of the functions found in the C compatibility headers that the C++ standard defines can not be made constexpr. sqrt is among them, as are a lot of the math functions.

Agreed. Both fast and small are desirable for sandboxed (least authority) isomorphic (client and server) microservices with WebAssembly & related tech.
Any non-trivial REST API is also going to have responses which embed lists of related resources.

If your REST API doesn't have a mechanism for each request to specify which related resources get included, you'll also be wasting resources include related resources which some requesters don't even need!

If your REST API does have a mechanism for each to request to specify which related sources get included (e.g. JSON API's 'include' query param [0]), then you have the same problem as GraphQL where it's not trivial to know the precise performance characteristics of every possible request.

I believe that back when the church was the center of English village life, they would ring the low bell when someone died. Being a village, you'd know when someone was ill. The bell was audible throughout the village, and probably to most of the surrounding fields, so having seen them struggle through their sickness, you'd know who had just died.

Anything, words included, that could metaphorically convey that the death-struggle was now finished. (Ironically, though, the death knell of things like companies is usually sounded before they are actually dead, and rather when the company is ill but the writer thinks that death is inevitable.) Although I don't like "spell a death knell" because the rhyme has an awkward rhythm, and it would be better to "sound" the knell.

It's not a publicly traded company and hence Musk + his backers can do whatever they want. It's their toy and I'm not in the business of policing anything (within the law) they do with it.

It would be irksome if Musk went on lawsuit spree + PR campaign incessantly complaining that advertisers are 'killing free speech' by not advertising on the platform. Like some weird civic duty that publicly traded businesses with a fiduciary directive ought to have. But, let's be real, folks operating on Musk's level are too clever/business-savvy for anything that amateurish.
I'm not sure that argument holds here, not every solution in programming is equally good just because. A <progress> element has the advantage of semantically actually representing a progress bar, which improves accessibility and who knows what other browser behavior and heuristics. In general you should try to use semantically correct HTML tags unless you have a really good reason not to. Maybe in this case he couldn't get the appearance he wanted using <progress>, which would be an acceptable reason.

Obviously this is nitpicking and this UI was made for fun rather than being a serious library intended for production. But that's a different criticism of the GP than the one you made.

Institutes like the NIH fund and do basic research and population health studies.

Drug companies do some basic research too, but their focus is on applications like drug development.

There's a large but not complete overlap.

Think of it like lasers.
NIH is where you might see someone do research into the theory of light.
The commercial medical industry is where you might see research into creating lasers of a particular colour, power, etc.

That function doesn't actually have an integral in any sense that I know of. The Riemann integral doesn't work because, for every interval in every possible partition, the function's upper bound will be 1 and the lower bound will be -1.

Yes, the low level format for btree nodes/btree keys isn't changing, and the fact that it's a database does ease a lot of backwards and forwards compatibility issues - for example, most key types can have new fields appended and old versions will just ignore the new field.

But schema changes can still be pretty impactful.

The big on disk format changes were:
- accounting rewrite in 6.11, which switched from a high performance, but complex and difficult to extend mechanism where accounting was stored in memory with percpu counters and then bundled up in each journal entry, to storing them in btree keys and journalling them as deltas.

The runtime code was so vastly different that it just wasn't possible to keep writing out the old accounting without retaining all of the old code side by side with the new code - it would have been really gross.

- backpointers change in 6.14, for fsck scalability improvements
This one would have been possible to do without rewriting all the backpointers, but that still would've had severe downsides. The main option would've meant permanently inflating the size of the backpointers btree by ~20%, IIRC, and backpointers are almost half of all metadata on a typical filesystem. There were ways to get around that, but they would've added a lot of complexity that we would've had to carry around forever.

But those are exactly the sorts of things the experimental phase is for - getting it on more and bigger systems and seeing what shakes out and finding out what we still need.

Title: Life expectancy and years of life lost for adults with diagnosed ADHD in the UK: matched cohort study | The British Journal of Psychiatry | Cambridge Core

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting attention and impulse control, often persisting into adulthood for about 90% of diagnosed children.

The global prevalence of adult ADHD is estimated at 2.8%, yet many adults in the UK remain undiagnosed and unsupported.

Individuals with ADHD face significant social and economic challenges, including educational underachievement, unemployment, and increased risk of substance abuse and mental health issues.

Adults diagnosed with ADHD have a higher likelihood of experiencing various health problems, including cardiovascular diseases and mental health disorders, as well as a greater risk of suicide.

A meta-analysis indicates that individuals with ADHD are twice as likely to die prematurely compared to the general population.

The study estimated that adults with ADHD in the UK experience a loss of approximately 6.78 years of life for males and 8.64 years for females compared to their non-ADHD counterparts.

The research utilized a matched cohort study design, analyzing data from UK electronic health records to assess mortality and life expectancy.

Adults with ADHD often have comorbid conditions that complicate their health outcomes, leading to increased mortality rates.

The findings emphasize the urgent need for improved support services and interventions for adults with ADHD to address their unmet health needs and reduce health disparities.

The study calls for policy initiatives similar to those addressing the life expectancy of autistic individuals, highlighting the necessity for targeted support for adults with ADHD to mitigate the risks associated with the disorder.

Too bad only one of the character cards explain pronounciation.
A recent matched cohort study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry analyzed data from over nine million UK adults between 2000 and 2019 to assess life expectancy and years of life lost among those diagnosed with ADHD. The research included 30,039 adults with diagnosed ADHD and compared them to 300,390 matched individuals without the diagnosis. Findings revealed that adults with diagnosed ADHD experienced a significant reduction in life expectancy, losing approximately 6.78 years for males and 8.64 years for females compared to the general population. This disparity is likely driven by modifiable risk factors and unmet mental and physical health needs associated with ADHD and its comorbid conditions. The study underscores the critical need for enhanced support and treatment services for adults with ADHD in the UK to address these preventable health inequalities and improve overall life outcomes.

Ditto. My non-tech friends ask what benefit AI has to society and I struggle to give them concrete examples that outweigh the opportunity cost of this kind of investment in more meaningful endeavors.

I obviously can't speak to your specific situation. As I understand it, both X and bluesky require parodies to be labeled.

From what I can tell, most content moderation on bluesky is done via labelers, which you need a pds to run, but not to use.

Both X and bluesky have semi-automated moderation processes with an inherent false positive rate. The two high profile cases I'm aware of (Jessie Singal and Laura Loomer) that were suspended automatically eventually got turned back on once a human was involved.

Can anyone speak to the image processing used? In particular, how is depth inferred from a single 2D image? It seems to me one would need both depth and angle over the field of view to back out the lens focal length. The EXIF format doesn't seem to contain meta data helpful to the focal length calculation.
I actually don't know many people who care at this point.

All of my most left-leaning friends have moved onto other causes - gender conflicts, Palestine, and income inequality. If anything, they care much more about the cost of food and transport now than they do climate. To the extent that they do care, they are resigned that it's going to happen anyway, and they would rather not give any credit to a business or CEO for attempting this stuff.

I would say that years of doomerism were more effective at killing the movement than denialism ever was.

I don't have a source, but I have read that the reason this wasn't originally introduced into C++ was because they couldn't agree on what the syntax would be. So much pain because the committee is dysfunctional, it took a decade plus to introduce something that everyone from the start wanted and understood would improve things. Par for the course with C++.
Yeah, I read “largely compatible” as sort of left-handed or like, not fully the same.

And no, I don’t think there’s a noticeable difference in terms of intelligence between us and someone from 30,000 years ago or even something more extreme like 300,000 years ago. We’re still the same species after all.

I do think you’d be more open to that idea if we had records of their thoughts and ideas. The early humans who came up with epic tales and the explorers who went on grand expeditions to unexplored territories. The people who used an early scientific method to come up with ways to preserve food or figure out what plants were safe to eat. The people who figured out better ways to build clothing for extreme weather. These weren’t dumb people.
