Well that's not exactly what was written above but I read it in the same way.

Dear reader, if you want my advice instead; the internet advice of random posters is great for finding new ideas but little else.

I happen to have a glut of experience with injury, recovery and pain too. Whether or not a particular injury needs rest or exercise depends on very many factors and expert physicians will differ.
Not wanting to violate the "don't tell people to google the obvious, no matter how condescending they're being", I googled the obvious for you.

To achieve a neuroprotective effect, PBM must overcome several barriers, including bone tissue, a complex structure with variable optical properties

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a near-infrared (NIR) light-based therapy technique and has shown therapeutic effectiveness for various neuropsychiatric disorders, including MDD. The transcranial PBM (t-PBM) technique delivers NIR light through the scalp and skull.

Near-infrared spectroscopy in the brain is made possible by the relative transparency of biological tissues (including bone) to light for infrared wavelengths ranging from 650 to 925 nm.

If it just means "don't take my guns", that's what they would write on their merch instead of some greek letters most people can't read. By using this Spartan phrase they're trying to evoke the mythical greatness of Sparta, and that is what this article is about.

I'm intrigued by this exchange.

I was like GP, and worked on fulfilling side-projects for years (after family goes to bed).

Like you, I'm beginning to see that it isn't working well any more. Though I've built some very useful things for myself, being productive in this all-but-invisible manner still leaves much to be desired.
Just don't use jit in generation and it would be fine. Of course there is some performance penalty but in my experience jit is oversold and the difference is something like ~10-30%.

Also in any case to get optimized code you need flash attention and many other tricks.
It's wishful thinking to believe any of this works. When you get older, have bills to pay, have to work, you have to give something up. Those morning runs, playing warcraft, taking your kids to school, spending time with your wife in the evening. Something has to give, and for how long is the question.
Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip carves new path for quantum computing
His take down of the "steppe nomadic warriors" nonsense in movies and TV shows, and especially of the Dothraki and how they don't make any sense, is also very interesting.

To me the most surprising thing is that Deveraux considers Lord of the Rings more grounded on history than Game of Thrones, when GoT was "sold" to audiences as a grittier, more realistic take on medieval fantasy. But very little in GoT makes any "medieval" sense, it's almost entirely fantasy with a "grimdark" tone instead of a fairy tale/folklore tone.

(Which, like Devereaux points out, would be perfectly acceptable as artistic license ... if only GoT hadn't been sold to us as "more realistic" by George Martin!)
Imagine if someone had said this about Tesla. They would have been swamped if wall of text responses. At least Nikola delivered what they promised.
I'm frankly amazed they lasted this long given the shadiness and scandals. I've seen a lot of "fake it til you make it" in tech startup land, including lots of tall claims, but I don't think I've seen any case as bad as Nikola's founder (Trevor Milton). Dude straight up lied about the product, it's capabilities and it's current state, to include faking test results and using camera tricks to make videos of a truck driving as "proof" that it worked. One example, they were "driving" (actually rolling) down a hill but angled the camera so that the ground would look flat making it appear the truck was driving under its own power[1]. Pretty wild story.

[1] From TFA: "In 2018, Milton posted a video on X that showed the truck seemingly cruise down a flat road. But it was all smoke and mirrors, prosecutors say. “In fact, to film these clips, the Nikola One was towed to the top of a hill, at which point the ‘driver’ released the brakes, and the truck rolled down the hill until being brought to a stop in front of the stop sign,” the Department of Justice wrote in the release Monday."
There is no strong evidence to suggest tariffs were a major cause of the recent (starting in 2021) inflation, just read the wiki on it [1]

Trump started his first bout of tariffs in 2018, long before any surge in inflation.

The TLDR cause was the pandemic. Basically supply chain broke down and didn't recover as fast as demand did.

The surge in egg prices is due to bird flu. Again, nothing to do with protectionism.

> but import taxes won't do that unless you're also willing to strategically subsidize industries for 20 years or more

Again, if you just open your mind and read the actual history in America on this topic, you can see that tariffs did indeed bolster American industry, again just read the wiki on it [2]

I broke the bone that runs along the top of your left foot when I was around 20 (Metatarsal Bone?), about 25 years ago.

Being a stupid youngun, I didn't go to the doctor, thinking that it was just a really bad sprain, and I could "walk it off".

It really really hurt but I tried to walk (even run) normally on it, and gradually over months the pain subsided until maybe 6 months later it was "normal".

Except, maybe 10 years later I noticed that I couldn't balance on my left foot as well as on the right, and see that the top of my foot is noticeably less convex (not quite concave though). Probably less structure for muscles and tendons to use for stability. But feels fine and I can walk and run okay :D
There's a bunch of us who aren't buddying up to Musk. We're just tired of 10 Musk posts a day.

Most politics are off topic here. Yeah, there's some exceptional stuff going on, that's worth talking about. No, that doesn't mean that every political story is now something we should cover.

But for every story, there are people who say, "Yes, but this story is one we should cover!" That's fine; you can think that.

What's less fine is thinking that everyone who flags it is licking Musk's and/or Trump's boots. That's not cool. That's 1) not assuming good faith, and 2) drifting into personal attacks, both of which are against the site rules.

So cool it with accusing us of being Musk sycophants. Some of us are just tired of the same stuff multiple times a day, every day for the past month.

Note well: I personally did not flag this story... but I understand why others might.
Plutarch is well known for just making things up. He was the Greek version of the dude in the pub with wild tales about the time he went fishing and caught a shark during a wild storm. When in reality the story actually boiled down to "he caught a fish once".
I have no idea how they managed to survive for years after that. The CEO was found guilty of fraud, and it didn't seem like they had any actual product.
Progressivism is really a form of religion, disguised as a political system.

It has all the hallmarks of a religion, except perhaps redemption.
For sure! Not to mention all the tendons and nerves. My recovery continues, as I’m sure yours does too — I’m back to my pre-injury PRs for most weight lifting, and my goal for this year is to match my pre-injury mile time.

All things considered I’m still pretty lucky. This could have happened when I’m much older and been debilitating for life.
Yes, something along the lines could work. But I am not sure if the above query itself would work if rows are appended to the table in parallel.

Also if events for a partition gets processed quick would the last partition get an equal chance?

This is the much more frightening possibility to me. Not just because that appears to POTUS's belief system, but apparently also that of many powerful rich Americans.

Do you think the amount a parent can care and show interest in their children's education could be correlated to financial freedom?
Because getting more money and power are what Elon is after and embedding his companies in the government is an effective way to do that.

Tesla stock roughly doubled following the election! That's obviously not because Trump is going to be a champion for electric vehicles and green energy, he couldn't be more hostile to them. Investors know that Elon is going to suck insane amounts of money out of the government with his new level of access and most of that will flow through his companies.
Very cool to see a new entry into the modem market. Obviously not available for anyone other than Apple, but I’m interested to see how it shapes up over time much like their SoC has done.

This has been a long time coming since Apple bought Intels modem division several years ago.

I’m also interested to see if it enables cellular in laptops. Afaik the limiting factor has been that Qualcomm charge a percentage of device rate , which would be exorbitant for a laptop. Having it be in house might allow for it now.

> political systems with single-member districts and the plurality voting system, as in, for example, the United States, two main parties tend to emerge. In this case, votes for minor parties can potentially be regarded as splitting votes away from the most similar major party

If a third party grows it will either shrink again as voters realize they are splitting their vote against their biggest common opponent, or the third party replaces one of the two existing parties. Either way, you get two main parties.
So much so that the CEO was convicted of fraud over it. It's insane that it still had value after the Hindenburg report.

Maybe the people who walk early on it doesn't have any pain when they do, which bias the results as it's obviously select for not as bad of an injury.

You say this, and yet as a blind user of the Meta glasses (they're actually great for accessibility!) I am not ... seeing it. They are far more ubiquitous and warn by far more people than you would expect, especially when comparing to Google Glass.
I agree with a lot of what this article has to say, and it's true that the politics of the US would be quite different if one of the major parties were a bona fide labor movement. But they're not, and I worry that the label of "elites" makes it harder to see why they're not. It's genuinely challenging - although I agree sometimes necessary! - to explain to someone who's really fired up about racial justice or climate change that they're not representative of the public and their concerns need to take a back seat to kitchen table issues.

It's also not obvious to me that a bona fide labor movement would take a particularly strong stance on an executive order curtailing independent agencies. Being invested in the details of how paper-pushing agencies are structured is a very elite concern.
The irony is that the "learning" just gets applied elsewhere; there are certain foundational building blocks that I think every language and platform needs once you start building "serious" applications.
They are within 1 inch of each other, which is fine with me. I haven’t measured in over a year, I know there’s still a strength imbalance but that’s not what feels limiting to me anymore.
I don’t remember anyone using mobile broadband though, is it possible the networks weren’t ready for high usage in the earlier years? All people were doing is checking email and BlackBerry messenger texting.

I guess it could also have have just been a superior business strategy to compel ATT to offer unlimited data so that people could freely explore the possibilities without worrying about overage charges.
A more appropriate question might be: why are you not?
> I'm definitely guilty of indulging in pop culture impressions of the Spartan warrior being the most disciplined and elite singular unit in history so this will be an interesting read.

There are better examples of forces that were actually good, even if they are less flattering in pop culture. For example, there is a reason why the Romans ended up controlling the Mediterranean and not the Spartans.
They decidedly did not deliver what they promised. Their hydrogen truck did not work, which is why their promo video had to tow a truck up a hill and film it rolling down.

Strawman.

No one said anything about racism.
It outwardly manifests as hate, but most people don't think of themselves like that. People generally view themselves as the star of the story. We have subcultures that make people drift towards certain beliefs and outcomes, all the while with those people largely being unaware of their course. You are noticing that there is a dominant subculture that indoctrinates with hateful beliefs.
It wasn't just a minute of work though. The manager scheduled happy hours, in the office bar no less. There was an expectation that he had to be there. While the main character skipped several of these, he was nudged by Chris, the manager, to attend a coworker's farewell party. Given that the main character ultimately got PIPed for dodging a punch, it's assumed that he would get scolded somehow for not going.
I have one and agree with the technical issues mentioned in this thread. This is my first experience with a writing tablet, although I have occasionally dabbled with an iPad with a stylus.

What draws me to use this device is that it creates a sense of "roominess," allowing me to lean back and consume, write, and engage in a non-aggressive way. This quality is something I miss in my other devices.

That would have been a good time, but actually the opposite of what America did (successfully) in the 1800s.

Britain had pulled far ahead in manufacturing, and only afterwards did America institute a policy of protectionism. The result was America caught back up and surpassed Britain.

You are not a senior, if you haven’t stuck around on a project/product for 3 years to experience the lifecycle of your own amazing decisions turning into that awful stuff you need to maintain. It takes about 3 years, longer if you’re lucky. Cannot be rushed.

The most dangerous engineers have about 5 years of experience. They have the skills and the big brains, but not yet the wisdom to keep it in check.

No more than all political (and otherwise ideological or values-based) systems are; there's no “disguise” in involved.
Is there a example of a modern city state being conquered? HK was returned to China at the end of a lease, Sevastopol wasn't a city state, Kuwait also not a city state. I can't think of one.
Yeah, and everybody in Alabama always says "Go Team, Win Win Win" instead of "Roll Tide" because nobody can understand what "Roll Tide" means.

Nobody is actually invoking anything beyond the absolutely most superficial "Spartanness" and going deep into "Well, actually, the Spartans were not nice people if you dig deeply into the truth" is not relevant when nobody else is digging that deeply. To a first approximation nobody knows anything about the Spartans beyond "vaguely Grecian" and "good warriors I guess".

Despite all the sensitivity in the university system in the past 5-10 years, I've never even heard a whiff of a suggestion that Michigan State University needs to change its mascot... because nobody, not even the educated and politically sensitive, thinks anything about Spartans beyond "vaguely Grecian" and "good warriors I guess". If anyone had any sort of real knowledge about the situation it would have been considered extremely extremely insensitive... but nobody thinks about these things. Hard to get much more proof than that.

There is definitely an argument to be made for that.

Corruption thrives in environments where there is no trust in institutions. An apathy and cynicism then chokes out all claims of being trustworthy and having integrity, leaving only forthright grifters with the last semblance of "honesty in their dishonesty". The only honest way forward that folks perceive then is for everyone to get the bag for themselves and knock down the ladder on the way up.

I think this line of argument is overly simplistic and puts too much at the feet of "but her emails", but I have zero doubt that this is how a lot of people who support Trump rationalize things.
No, because the $8M was allocated by a coequal branch of government. The president gets to veto things at that stage, not afterward.

Should the president have an ex post facto veto for everything? That sounds more like an autocracy to me.
Yes and no.

I've worked in places where I've felt appreciated and also in places where I didn't. There are two situations: (1) a startup-type product which is bringing in $0 or close to $0 in revenue, you get to work with shiny new stuff and don't have a legacy, but it's precarious because of that $0, (2) an established system where the money story makes sense, it's easier to be appreciated because you work is worth something in a more than hypothetical sense.

Case (2) is how you become a senior developer, it's a real art to make changes to existing code, sometimes you will need to make surgical changes because if you tear everything apart you might break things you don't know about it. This prayer, popular in alcoholic's anonymous

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer

is also a good prayer for a maintenance programmer.
Can you give me some examples of parallels? I'm not really seeing the equivalence?
I can relate, 21 year old moron in my case. No surgery needed and clean fix. The problems were gone after a year when I decided to get some help in the form physical therapy. It never hurt again until recently when I broke it again
> Sparta is a very poor example of a working city state, though.

Indeed. Bret Devereaux makes a good case that Sparta was actually bad at being a city state, and that their restrictive citizenship laws meant it was constantly shrinking.
> What am I missing?

Wealth inequality was previously at its highest point in the US during the Gilded Age, when the US was still on the gold standard and inflation was not as much of a thing (and deflation often reined):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Deflation

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Depression

During the 1970s, US inflation was quite high:

* https://www.investopedia.com/inflation-rate-by-year-7253832

and yet during the same time period the wealth ownership of the top 0.1% went down:

* https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-i...

US wealth inequality only really started rising in the 1980s—as inflation went down. Further, as The Guardian graph shows, concentration has gone up from the 1990s up until now, even though the last few decades have had the lowest, and most stable, inflation numbers in history:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Moderation

So the link between inflation and wealth concentration does not appear to have any correlation according to the historical data.

I would hazard to guess that a more promising link to wealth concentration/inequality would be the cutting of tax rates (both corporate and personal) starting during the Reagan administration, and how it reduced redistribution of money to the lower- and middle-class.

I wonder who you saw debating that. It looks really settled down and unanimous to me. Inflation is extremely harmful to poor people.

The only debate I see is about whether the Austrian school has a point and merely printing money is already harmful or if harm comes only when prices increase.

Sustained fusion is already a thing in the universe but while we can't undiscover what powers the sun we could certainly give up replicating it on Earth if we'd like. That would be less an estimate of how long it'd take and more a measure of what we want to invest our limited resources in though.

I think everyone would agree we should find ways of investing that aren't scams. The hard part is who agrees on what is a scam. I don't mind more purely private investment myself though, which has seemed to be a trend in recent years.
