Red light therapy is vasty undervalued among the techie longevity crowd I know when compared to supplements, perhaps because of the large initial cost and lower portability of systems.

I am excited for the voice mode promised in "a week" or so. ChatGPT Advanced Voice has been a big disappointment for me. It can't do some of the things they demoed at the announcement. It's a lot dumber than text mode. I find the voice recognition unreliable. I couldn't get it to act as a translator last time I tried. But most of all I find I don't have much to talk to it about. If Grok 3 voice mode can discuss current events from the X timeline then it should be much more interesting to talk to.
No, I actually read the article and I don't think I was spectacularly rude. I was rather just straight to the point. And rather than bitching "omg, why, oh why did a compiler turn a ctr into a function-call here?!" what I think I gave is a constructive suggestion how to fix the problem, if there was even one to begin with.

What I see here in the article is pure theoreticizing and dwelling over details which in 99.9% of the cases do _not_ matter. There wasn't a single experiment shown by the author by which he shows that his use-case is in that 0.01%.

I was basically done with reading the article when I read the following nonsense

> accessing an extern thread_local with a constructor involves a function call, with the function testing the guard variable of the translation unit where the thread_local is defined.

And then

> But with inlining, the fast path is quite fast on a good processor.

Right, the fast path of inlined ctr call vs slow path of non-inlined ctr call. Really? I call this a BS, especially without the experiments showing the data.

Did you know that low doses of SSRIs are regularly prescribed for general anxiety? 1/4th of a depression dose or so usually.

Sounds like you're responding well to a pretty low dose! With the halflife being what it is, taking every couple days should be similar to taking even less, but daily

I haven't read up on your suggested google terms, do you see this as different than the typical SSRI for generalized anxiety?

By my experience, it helps a lot to have a handful of patches in Wine already. Doesn't have to be anything especially great, but showing that you can work with the conformance tests (both write them and fix them), create good commits, go through the patch review process, interact constructively with the maintainers can get you a lot of points and make up for a not necessarily perfect interview test.

Do not look for the super-core stuff like user32.dll and ntdll.dll. There is already a lot of folks working there and it's hard to make an improvement if that's your first contribution. But there are a plethora of random forgotten libraries in dlls/ which usually nobody cares about until some application depends on those, and they are quite likely to have a good amount of low hanging fruits. Look for the todos in the tests, for example.

It's a natural monopoly - literally no competition is possible because no other player could overbuild another electricity grid in their service area.

Society should not allow a for-profit entity to operate as a monopoly (because all monopolies want to reduce service and maintenance, and raise prices as much as possible), so such a utility should be required to operate on a non-profit basis.
Apple is not different from either of those two in any of those senses. No source code = no transparency. If I am incorrect about that - and Apple does openly publish all of the code that collects and interacts with their customers' data - then I would be overjoyed to be proven wrong.

That's a major component of what transparency entails, and that's what's a dependency of trust. No source code = no transparency, no transparency = no trust. Simple.
Or was it because they got rid of the DEIcers?

Right.

I wonder how hard it is, or would be, to simply emulate whatever alternative channel the Kindle devices use to download Kindle ebooks from Amazon's servers.

Legionnaires' disease following lake swimming in Iowa
The University of Buenos Aires is excellent. Is ranked, by the same rank you dismissed in another message, as the 71th place, the number 1 in whole Latin America. You cannot dismiss every University below 71th place as "ridiculously low bar". This is like saying "UBA is shit, because MIT is better".

I know your type: you throw bold assertions left and right, without a single source to back up. When somebody ask for sources you reply "trust me bro". You back up your assertions with "I never met anyone from Belgrano" (I never met anyone from MIT or Harvard, yet I thing they are good Universities) or "there are no famous people from Belgrano"... well, turns out that Milei is very famous and from Belgrano, so your argument falls apart.

But the whole point (Miley is bad because his University is bad) is invalid. You can study at MIT and be mediocre. You can study at a mediocre University and be top notch. Heck, you can even almost fail at high school and be excellent at your work. Dan Luu, University of Wisconsin after nearly failing high school come to mind, or John Carmack (two semesters at University of Misouri before dropping out, after a sentence of one year in a juvenil home). Guess they are bad at their job, according to your standards. Talk about elitism...

You ask from us a full "believe me because I say so, ignore whatever data you might find that contradicts me, I won't explain why nor point you to alternative sources. Just everything that doesn't agree with me is tainted, manipulated, or wrong. And if you don't have a degree in one of the best 100th Universities in the world and I can't find your research, you are unworthy". Nah, I'm not debating in those terms.

PS. Just noticed this:

Did you know that Milei got his second Master at Instituto Di Tella? Guess he is elite now, by your own standards!

> the Rust maintainers have committed to handling all maintenance of Rust code, and handling all breakage of their code by changes on the C side.

How have they "committed"? By saying they commit[1], I presume -- but what more? Anyone can say anything. I think what makes the "old guard" kernel maintainers nervous is the lack of a track record.

And yes, I know that's a kind of a lifting-yourself-by-your-bootstraps problem. And no, I don't know of any solution to that. But I do know that, like baron Münchhausen, you can't ride your high horse around the swamp before you've pulled your self out of it.

Honest question: what exactly is wrong with this setup?

There's the OS, there are services and user land apps written in java and misc native code, and from the link there's a single component where Lua was used as bridge code.

The GUI is React Native, which is just a framework to simplify the design and implementation of native GUIs.

So exactly what's wrong?

Yeah, but the whole point here is that the engines are very specifically designed to break off in a way that preserves the integrity of the wings.

The integrity of the wings is a function that supersedes just about every other possible thing on a plane. You can safely land without any engines. You can safely land without hydraulics. You can safely land without gear. Without wings, a plane is a brick.

You might want to actually read my comment? The details in the article re-enforce the point.

The noted person she was ‘saving’ attacked someone when she was on vacation, and she is lamenting how if she had been there she could have stopped him from being kicked out again. And she’s angry (and reading between the lines, probably burning out) and lashing out at people. And not assigning any agency to the person she was ‘helping’. That is toxic. Regardless of her hero status. I’m sure she didn’t start this way, but this is a result of being put in this position over and over again and trying to do the right thing.

Like a combat vet with PTSD who attacks a random clerk at a grocery store due to a sudden trigger, or goes around yelling at everyone all the time because they’re always pissed off. That isn’t usually because of a one time event.

That she is also doing what she is doing, is also enabling the brokenness of the system by not allowing it to fail in a terrible way so the public or those in charge actually do something different.

Expecting heros to solve systemic issues by going so above and beyond that they ruin themselves is also toxic. That’s that I’m calling out.

Someone who jumps on a grenade in a foxhole is a hero - and those around them owe them their lives. That should be celebrated.

That someone got close enough to throw a grenade into that foxhole was likely due to many screwups, and if we ignore that, and even reinforce the environment that resulted in it, we’re just murdering heros, aren’t we?

Not that anyone wants to think long and hard about that of course.

It doesn’t mean all of these problems are solvable - some parts of life are, and likely always will be, meat grinders for a number of reasons. Maybe this is one of them.

Thoughts? I think we’re actually in agreement frankly.

I know the common human fallback is going to the ‘strongman’ (the ultimate hero fantasy).

IMO, that will almost certainly ultimately fail, and is toxic for anyone to try to even ask, because really we need to take a legitimately honest accounting of what we need/want, what price we’re willing to pay for it, and then actually follow through.

As a society. So there don’t need to have heros constantly ruining themselves to try to save us.

Notably, however, some people will still try to martyr themselves, even in those situations, to be the hero no one was asking for. But that is a different kind of problem.

I have to agree on #7: it's pretty annoying, especially for series where there's both TV shows and movies related to them. For instance, The X-Files: there's 11 seasons of shows, but also 2 movies. A better example is Star Trek, with a bunch of different TV series, plus a bunch of various movies related to the different series.

You can put these into "collections", but it'd be nice if my library could just have a "Star_Trek" directory and then subdirectories with all those things inside, and have it automatically sorted out by JF.

No, that's not how it works. The burden of proof is on the one who is claiming the regression or design flaw, and in this case I am not sure what exactly the author can even claim? He did not run a single experiment where he would show that a non-inlined ctr call is creating a runtime pressure on his fancy profiler. Not a single experiment. Not a single data. This is a pure form of cargo-cult programming not engineering.

The unfortunate effect of this and similar blogs is that tomorrow you will have to deal with someone at your work who happened to read this and such material on the web and will take it for granted. He will take it further and implement an "optimization" yet when you ask to demonstrate the problem he was solving you will get big nothing. Just as in this case.

The consensus on r/aviation seems to be that it was caused by wind shear.

> This looks like wind shear to me. It was a stable approach and then it suddenly got slammed into the ground. That doesn't look like pilot-induced change in descent rate, it is too sudden for that. A sudden change in wind direction (shear) when that slow can absolutely cause a sudden loss of lift.

> We have had almost 2 feet of snow up here since Friday, and are experiencing wind gusts up to 65 mph. Has basically been a winter hurricane.

> This is a CRJ landing on Runway 23 at YYZ. It is an 11,000’ runway. Winds at the time where gusting from the NE likely north of 30 knots, so this was a cross wind landing. My bet is that it wasn’t the worst situation that any of the pilots had been in. Delta is a pretty good company. Guessing (as a GA pilot and talking to pilots of bigger birds than this —- I know a few). Likely wind shear or wake turbulence. The wake turbulence part would be a reach considering the cross wind component would have blown it away by the time of this landing.
