It's murky concept though, so I wouldn't bet on mind uploading in our lifetime.

Some fairly fundamental things need to be answered first. Things like how does consciousness and the sense of self arise.

Naively, if you think that you are just a program that runs on a bunch of neurons in your brains, and that this program can be uploaded to a computer, you are still left with a very annoying problem: you upload a copy, and leave the original running in your squishy brain. So what then? Do you kill the original? But that involves killing a living and breathing human being. Do you wait until it dies naturally? That's still not a good answer, because you have to die so that a copy of you can continue existing.

So until we figure how to actually "teleport" our consciousness to some other host, we are in a pickle. And there's absolutely no evidence that we'll ever be able to do this teleportation. What if we never figure out the physics to do this?

Edit: I suppose you could sidestep this by generating fully digital consciousnesses that mimic what a human brain does. So a fully digital human. Assuming we can brute-force simulate a real human brain, this should be at least physically possible (as opposed to teleportation), but this still raises philosophical questions. What you are generating then aren't human beings, but conscious AI. You could argue that the human race would eventually be supplanted by immortal AI that are no longer bound by biology, but I'd argue that this isn't an evolution of the human race, rather a completely new life form (if you can call it that), which has nothing to do with humans except that we created it.
It seems to make sense but when you look at the dynamics of it, if you legally lock organizations in this way, the Americans will be the only one using expensive models and the rest of the world would be using cheap Chinese models. This wouldn't be great for the USA in general.
The symptoms may be very different but the causes may be similar: permanent damage to tissues and organs which the body is unable to heal over time.

Well, as a pathogen (god knows what is going on in our guts, or our skin, come to that) it is rare, as article says. I worked in an NHS microbiology lab in the 70s and never came across one - probably wouldn't have known how to do so. One of our consultants might (he was obsessed with anaerobes) might have, but there are so many that might (or not) be associated with wounds that they are very hard to identify.
I think that as software asymptotically approaches mostly-bugfix releases, it's a good sign that it's "done", and therefore just stable, reliable, and "boring".

Sometimes boring is good, especially for your core toolkit. It can free up your energy to spend it on more interesting things, like actual coding.
Sacred? Christmas music is sacred? Popular Christmas music is awful. Every major artist seems obligated to do their Christmas renditions and the songs are vapid or bad remakes of already bad songs.

Seriously. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer praises bullying. That song needs to die a thousand deaths and never show up again.

AI may actually make better Christmas music than the slop we are already subjected to every single year.
Interestingly there are some materials the absorb through the skin far faster than you'd expect. ie. they soak in just like a tissue soaks up water.
In Go you can forget to call a function with the correct arguments, and it will not compile, right?

We always called them "Unit Tests." Same for what we now call Test Harnesses.

Sometime in the last decade or so, "Unit Test" has become a lot more formalized, to mean the code-only structural testing we see, these days.

I tend to like using Test Harnesses[0], which are similar to what you described.

Unit tests are great, but I have found, in my own work, that 100% code coverage is often no guarantee of Quality.

I have yet to find a real "monkey testing" alternative. I suspect that AI may give us that, finally.

Oh, I also do "Discovery Coding," but I call it "Evolutionary Design."[1] I think others call it that, as well.

There's a need to do complex data processing (not sure if it falls under your "view, filter and aggregate data - nothing more"), and it's an open question whether "full fledged" languages (presumably with an API, like pandas, ibis or spark), improved SQL, or another language focused on data transformation will be a better fit for this task.
the people down voting the idea of skin absorption as a meaningful vector for getting things into your body remind me of the people a hundred years ago who thought animals cannot feel anything.

I'm wondering if the plastics in modern clothing are similarly exposing our systems to microplastics -- maybe not as bad as cooking in plastic, but a constant light abrasion all day, every day, for your whole life.

Our biologies didn't evolve with these synthetics. Not a big stretch to think our biologies won't handle them well.
Second this. Getting rich is orthogonal to general intelligence, and much more aligned to how you estimate and handle risk.
I made a comment yesterday that the whole NVDA thing seemed eerily similar to the AMZN thing in the first dot com crash. [0]. If the market can get sufficiently irrational, and we start to see that same like 80-90% markdown that we got with AMZN in the first crash, I mean, who knows? That's a golden opportunity. Not many generations get opportunities like that twice.

I guess we'll see what happens with the stock price, but long term I'm pretty confident in this Jevon's Paradox effect on AI use. I'm praying for more negativity hype out among those who maybe don't know as much about tech as the HN crowd. Because those people collectively, can move stock prices.

I’ve had long covid for a couple of years now. It’s a really difficult disease, in part because different people react very differently, and there may even be multiple mechanisms so it’s not exactly a single disease.

What has really helped me has been wearing a nicotine patch occasionally. I was never a smoker, but I came across this very small study [1] and thought it was worth a go because a) I was getting desperate and b) nicotine in such low doses is not that risky (7mg patch, worn for 2 weeks).

I know there’s counter-studies suggesting nicotine doesn’t help with resistance. My experience is anecdotal, but I saw rapid improvement in cognition and fatigue level (particularly post-exercise). My guess is that for some people the particular mechanism behind their long covid is one that this can help with, but not for everyone.

I'm inclined to agree on some points. You'll have a hard time communicating your ideas with this audience. Firstly, it is something that many here do not agree with or want to hear. Even the ideally formulated message containing these ideas will inspire a negative reaction. Understanding that, you will get more mileage by tailoring your message. Plainly saying these things is too blunt for most to even consider.
For any sinus inflammation issues, I would recommend trying Neti.

I had more or less constant inflammation growing up, two weeks of daily Neti solved that problem for good.

Maybe a supremacist mindset is appropriate when the other side has deteriorated into something pretty close to nazism. It is actually not very hard to be better than nazism. Your 'flip around' statement actually makes zero sense and the statement you are responding to is pretty accurate.
My point is that if you require

/.well-known/openid-configuration

to tell your the OAuth URLs, why not just require the OAuth URLs to be

/.well-known/openid/authorize
/.well-known/openid/token

Redirects exist though. We already have the technology, we already have the protocols, we're just inventing more stuff that we already have.

Welcome to my hell of understanding. All these molecules were "deemed as safe" not because me knew everything about them but because we did not care.

This surfactant, diethanolamine, may also prevent the healthy function of lipids in the mitochondrial membrane, namely Omega 3. When you mess with the mitochondrial membrane you start to have issues with oxidative stress and a whole range of metabolic disorders.

For example: Cardiolipin synthase deficiency is a condition that results in abnormal mitochondrial function and morphology. It can be caused by mutations in the cardiolipin synthase (CLS) gene. Symptoms impaired viability, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and defective oxidative phosphorylation.

What you can do: Drink reverse osmosis or deionized water and eat as whole and fresh food as you can. Wash your dishes by hand and rinse them very very well using the most natural detergent you have.

I got covid once back in the summer of '22. I had high fever (40C) for two days but my taste and smell were gone for an entire month. Losing two of my five senses for so long was something I never want to experience again.
I still use it, just love the Mac style text manipulation shortcuts, the way spell check actually works properly and natively in code (Spell check within strings only) which VSCode can't seem to handle with any of the plugins that claim to.

I use VSCode on Windows but no matter what I do to it I can't get it feeling right.
Sounds a bit like the Active Record/Repository pattern? The "meta sql" in that case is a natural language DSL, e.g.

@Repository interface Employees : CrudRepository<Employee, Integer> {
fun findBySalaryGreaterThanForUpdate(salary: Int): List<Employee>

data class NameAndSalary(val name: String, val salary: Int)
fun findByDepartment(department: String): List<NameAndSalary>
}

The compiler reads the method name and writes the equivalent SQL query at compile time. The custom data class acts as a projection. This sort of thing can be found in Micronaut Data, or Spring or similar.
There are a few things I don't get of the fifth point: why do we need to be able to operate nuclear fusion plants remotely? Wouldn't it be not just possible, but maybe even preferable, to have staff on site to manage the plant, like it is the case for fission plants? And if we still want remote control, why is this such a big challenge? With a background in computer engineering and cybersecurity, this seems to me the smallest challenge of the list.
Here's an idea: give federal employees tax breaks relative to the financial efficiency of their department.
I disagree that DHH is a fascist, I do agree he gives off Musk vibes e.g.

Note that the abstract (since I can't read the full article; not on sci-hub) mentions that he has hypercholesterolemia, and doesn't specify whether this was actually caused by diet alone or because of genetics.

I've likely had orders of magnitude more cheese and butter than this guy, and I've yet to have yellow nodules or the 10 heart attacks I apparently should have had by now. Both of us are N=1 case studies, so basically meaningless outside of identifying a particular clinical condition.
Your example of men on the Moon is precisely what drives people to support more privately driven progress.

Because that was an amazing achievement orchestrated almost entirely by government, but then once the geopolitical factors motivating government to support it faded, the entire human space program was defacto cancelled.

Over the next 50 years progress in human space sharply regressed and, if not for Elon and SpaceX, we would very likely still be on that trajectory.

Governments can be whimsically unpredictable in a way far beyond how companies can normally behave. In fact this is exactly what this topic is about!
They should be looking into them for buying up all the competitors in domain selling. The bought two of the biggest competitors Dan.com and unregistery.

> This study found that peak was at p < 1e-37 or so.

If true, this would be cause for someone to read through the study to check there are no maths errors, and if it holds up then to take action immediately.

This isn't a "wait for more science to come in and confirm" type thing.
(I know, agreed. Rhetorical.)
Not sure if cheese and butter counts as meat…?
Not all change is progress. Make America Great Again is a fundamentally reactionary platform, and nothing about the goals of Project 2025 is "progressive". Cute wordplay, though, good job using denotation to oppose connotation.
Definitely not, but there don't seem to be any structures which counter the political incentives to continuously increase spending. And only one federal government in the last 50 years has run a balanced budget.

The issue is that LLMs are a commodity that anyone can integrate into their product.

To your broader point at least, you’re right. RIMs stock price peaked in 2010. Three years after the writing was on the wall with the iPhone and Android.

Smart people knew that Intel was in trouble over 10 years ago as mobile was taking off. They were propped up for awhile by server sales and less so by PC sales. Now they are both moving to chips manufactured by TSMC.
Having read the paper from deepseek I seriously don't get how anyone can think "Oh now is the time to sell nvidia".

Both at the tactical level and strategic level that paper means we will see _more_ nvidia gpus fly off the shelves. If anything it's showing why the h800 is a decent card and everyone in China should buy one (dozen thousands).
Then there might be a “DeepSeek” moment.
That’s a US-specific problem. Doctors dismiss patients’ complaints all the time in countries with universal healthcare.

I think the issue is much simpler than that: if the doctor is out of ideas (and doesn’t know of a specialist to refer to) they just get frustrated and give up.
The paper seems to conclude that we do not know the safe dose. And we are not talking death, but suffering.

So taken together, there would seem to be good reason to continue to continue to unravel the long-hypothesized inflammation/depression connection, and particularly in regards to possible exacerbating factors such as higher levels of M. morganii infection or even higher environmental exposure to diethanolamine. We seem to have a lot to learn here!
They listed 5 challenges but they forgot probably the biggest one-- Make it cheaper than the alternatives. That might never happen even if we do solve all the material and technical problems.

If you're resident in a country where StarLink is legal (like Mozambique), you can procure the service and then roam in a country where it's illegal like South Africa. I don't think that will ever change.

StarLink's definition of "resident" and "roaming" might change a little bit over time.

StarLink has been quite good in surrounding the countries where they stand to make a lot of money (like South Africa) with "friendly" countries. So, due to roaming, South Africa is losing out on a lot of tax revenue (VAT) and other economic benefits. Speculation is that they will give in.

Remote handling might refer to robotics or remote control done on site. Fusion does produce neutrons that will generate some radio activity in structures and so on. Minimising humans needing to be close these is reasonable move.

My take is that the "Democrats" are doing their best to "conserve" the direction they were "changing" things towards, and the progress they made in that direction already. Whilst the conservatives are finally getting enough oomph and ability to stem and reverse the direction of the slow tide that the Democrats were dragging everyone towards.

Let's face it, we were squarely within crazy territory and that's why everyone is having a knee-jerk reaction. The left or democrats or "the woke" as they are named have taken us too far, and if you ask me, way too-close to a societal-level precipice.

When I was in the US Navy, I learned most of the time, the weak points in security were usually people. Attackers know this and exploit it. And it usually wasn't movie plot style "do this or your wife gets it" exploits. Those seemed to get blown up easily. It was mundane things. Distracting a watch stander with something that was actually stupid. Making someone late for duty. Putting something really gross in the garbage hoping the inspector would skip that bag. So many little lapses in human judgement. Most completely innocent. This was with vigilant, uniformed people subject to military discipline, and those thing happened.

So you have to focus on process and systems. Some easy stuff:

* Never ask customers/employees for a password. If someone does it's a scam.

* Refund money only to the payment method used to pay for the product/service.

* 2FA is your friend no matter how much the VP of Sales whines about it.

* have a way to expire tokens and force reset of passwords.
You can't apply Jevons paradox to everything, that would be predicting the future. However, you can try to analyze whether it holds in your specific context.

Comparing AMZN and NVDA is like comparing apples and oranges. Amazon has significantly diversified from its origins as an online bookseller and started when the internet, and later mobile devices, were not yet mainstream. NVDA, on the other hand, is an entirely different kind of company.

It doesn't matter whether it's AMZN or NVDA, you should try to distinguish between the company's fundamental value and the speculative component, as both are reflected in the price.
