> Hard to argue with that, but do we now use a handful of epigenetic markers generated using a cheek swab sample to decide who gets “healthcare access, special lodging, sanitation, and nutrition”? No, never.

I don't think the activism/sociological angle here was supposed to be interpreted as being about targeted reconciliation toward existing victims of violence / their descendants. Even if those people are potentially "living life on hard mode" as a result of previous violence. (After all, finding and helping those people would require complex infrastructure and lots of money.)

Rather, I think the thrust of the implicit activist argument would be closer to:

1. Experiencing violence turns out to be even worse for you than we thought — and in non-recoverable ways! (You can't therapy your way out of epigenetic changes.)

2. And so more should be done to prevent/ameliorate violence and its impact on people, before it can cause durable epigenetic changes;

3. ...and some "low-hanging fruit" in reducing this impact for minimal cost, would be to supply more resources for escaping/coping with violence (e.g. shelters; crisis lines; social workers; restraining orders that actually work) specifically to groups who are demographically most likely to become victims of violence.

4. And perhaps we can even use this correlation we've found to also measure the effectiveness of interventions like these — sampling the trends in epigenomic changes in these vulnerable populations over time (i.e. a repeated cross-sectional study), to know if marginal increases in certain types of resources actually have measurable impacts on "cushioning" these populations from violence, enough to prevent these epigenetic changes.
I bet you can do a lot of damage in 4 years. Not to mention if Trump tries to run for an unconstitutional 3rd term.
> There’s also rates of sexual side effects in excess of 70% [1] and they cause weight gain which is separately associated with depression.

As an obese depression-sufferer currently taking Mounjaro, these new weight loss drugs seem way more effective at treating the depression than SSRIs.

Actually losing a bit of weight with previously-unimaginable ease actually offers some genuine hope. It's not quite a miracle drug, the side-effects can be unpleasant, but when you're severely overweight they seem a small price to pay.

US Intel shows Russia and China trying to recruit disgruntled federal employees
There have been many books written on the subject, as in my previous comment, I suggested The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.

It's not antisemitic or even remotely conspiratorial to acknowledge that Israel and Israeli-Americans have been very successful in exerting influence on the federal government. I think it's bad-faith well-poisoning for you to bring up nonsense like the Protocols.

Is having a conflict in Ukraine somehow making Europe more stable? To be entirely honest, from realpolitik point of view what Trump is doing makes cold and calculated sense. He will sacrifice Ukraine so that it will become a rump buffer state between Europe and Russia, and then he can trade with both. That will satisfy Russia as well as their strategic goal (no NATO in Ukraine) was achieved and they can return to business as usual.
• 77,302,580 voted for this administration (49.8%)

• 77,935,722 voted against this administration (50.2%)

With an estimated population of 341M, there were approximately 90M people who were eligible to vote (over 18, and not prevented from voting from a conviction) that did not vote.

The American people DO NOT support Trump. He only won due to voter suppression and a massive amount of ad money.

Didn't the disintegration of Libya also not play a big part to start the refugee crisis? Someone explained to me once that once Gaddafi was gone and Libya became a fractured state, that it essentially became a refugee gateway into the Mediterranean as previously that "band" of North African countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt) where acting as a buffer preventing refugees from African countries to move Northwards.
And it is as simple as that. I prefer that.
The USSR never acted even half as hostile as Russia is acting towards the whole world, including the US and UK right now. Maybe you're not aware of that but Russian state TV routinely discusses the nuclear annihilation of the UK and the US, not just that of Europe. Current rhetoric from the Kremlin is way more hostile than it ever was during Cold War.

You better put a stop to that by showing strength. Unless you want ignore history, that is.
Ukraine is limited in its use of American weapons. It can't strike well in Russian territory. The US wanted to keep the conflict from escalating beyond Ukraine's borders.

Europe has similar concerns, but if Ukraine loses American support, they may not be able to afford that. They might gamble on direct strikes on Moscow, or at least make it clear that they can.

Which might end life as we know it. Or it might force Russia to the bargaining table directly with Ukraine. Who knows? Let's find out!
And how is "ending the war" certain after a cease fire and not just a temporary pause in Putin's quest to eliminiate Ukraine/opposition and annex/install a puppet ruler there?

I have also had huge results with 5-HTP (in combination with vitamin D). I had that breakthrough in 2017 and it has been a consistent improvement ever since so I feel comfortable suggesting it. I have more recently had a similar "OMFG" moment with supplementing creatine but I'm only a few months into that so not ready to make claims about durability. I was diagnosed with chronic depression as a child (in 1994) and have taken Wellbutrin, Prozac, Lexapro, and Celexa at different points in my life. Personally I never experienced benefits that outweighed the side effects with any of those drugs. Taking an approach that centers on whole-body (and really specifically intestinal) serotonin has made the biggest difference in my life. Avoiding processed carbohydrates like pasta and bread has also been a piece of the puzzle, but unequivocally 5-HTP + VitD has been the standout difference maker.
I don't know what would get the military to refuse orders, but I suspect that openly disregarding the constitution is one of the more likely.

> Is there a general way to apply/remove/act on taint in Go checkers? I may not be digging deeply enough but it seems like the example just uses some `unsafeVars` map that is made with a magic `isUserInputSource` method. It's hard for me to immediately tell what the capabilities there are, I bet I'm missing a bit.

Assuming you're looking at the guide [1], the `isUserInputSource` is just a partial example and not a magic method (we probably should have used a better example there).

The AST for each node along with the context are exposed in the `analysis.Pass` object [2]. We don't have an example for taint analysis, but here's an example [3] of state tracking that can be used to achieve this. This is a little tedious at the moment and you'll have to do the heavy-lifting in the Go code — but this is on our roadmap to improve. We want to expose a lot more helpers to make doing things like taint analysis easily.

Here's another idea [4] we're exploring to make the YAML interface more powerful: adding support for utilities (like entropy calculation) that you can call and perform a comparison.

If you just want to display pages of mixed text and images, it would be much easier. However, browsers are closer operating systems, capable of supporting rich desktop apps, without the antiquated desktop APIs. Browsers have more sophisticated security than desktop systems, and provide direct access to hardware resources like cameras, microphones and GPUs. In fact, webGPU would probably be considered a much better interface for GPUs than the desktop APIs like DirectX, WebGL, though maybe Vulkan is just as good. Browsers are also forming the basis for WASM development, though there are other deployment platforms, browsers are the biggest.
if EU was going to do that Zelenskyy the beggar wouldn't be begging us to save him
Nobody in the US voted for that agreement. I want the world to notice that they need to stop treating my people like daddy's credit card. It's a shame that the previous occupying regime hated its constituents enough to make these insane agreements to try and loot us, but we definitely don't need to stick to them now just because of that.
But it's the same for other long sessions such as slow downloads and git clones. Sites concerned by the number of source ports are not those dealing with just favicon.ico and bullet.png, but mainly those dealing with long transfers.

Also there's a cascade effect on large sites, where as long as your servers respond fast, everything's OK. Suddenly a database experiences a hiccup, everything saturates, and once you enter the situation where the LB has all of its ports in use, it can take a while to recover because of connect() getting much slower (I already observed delays up to 50ms!). At this point there's no hope to recover in a sane time, because excess connections are not even served by the servers, they're in the accept queue in the system, so they keep a port busy, slowing down connect() which means more even connections are needed for other incoming requests. If the LB is not properly sized and tuned, you'd rather just kill it to get rid of all the connections at once, wait a second or two for the RST storm to calm down and start again.

H2 can avoid that, at the expense of other issues I mentioned in another response above (i.e. don't multiplex too much to the servers, 5-10 streams max, to avoid the risk of inter-client HoL). But H2 also comes with higher xfer costs than H1 for large objects due to framing.
I guess. But what they really need is trust, which was their selling point for a decade. But that takes a long time to build up and no UX changes can bring back.
A somewhat adjacent interpretation is that he doesn't care about democracy. And so why would he care if Ukraine got invaded. He wants to be a king or emperor or whatever. If Putin takes Ukraine the idea of kings being back gets more normalized.

> I think they could argue for greater security architecture (i.e. part of NATO but no nukes) to prevent repeat. But otherwise I can appreciate why the current administration is where its at.

The current administration is redundantly clear that it won't allow Ukraine to join NATO to avoid antagonize Russia.
I'm referring to their comments in totality, not just this one specific example.
Consider there are interests in common between sectors in Russia and the USA that are not at the state level, but private capital.

In particular, both nations are energy exporters. And the political class in Russia is explicitly a petro-regime.

There's no need to go looking for conspiracy theories around Trump being "compromised."

He's behaving just like any wealthy person with ties to the energy sector would, should they seize state power. They are acting in the interests of the oil industry, both of them.

Capitalism doesn't really have borders. Borders are for chumps like you and I.
And the US are? It's an absolute garbage take.
They're running the same playbook they did with Yugoslavia. Sit around and do nothing until the US takes control. Not going to work out this time with the felon operating in chaos monkey mode.
And without abandoning its allies it would have likely remained a superpower going forwards. That's suddenly in question.
Both sides agree that America has provided at least $100 billion and possibly up to a half-trillion in aid and other consideration to Ukraine. That's a fair bit of money!

And, if Zelenskyy is to be believed, it was a "grant", or a gift, which makes Zelenskyy's disrespectful attitude and hubris in the White House even more outrageous.
>Americans don’t want to be embroiled in endless wars.

We don't want our troops / people embroiled in them, so fighting for freedom by funding others is a good way to do that.

Waiting until it comes to your doorstep by nations who have made no qualms that they aren't friendly is a bad choice.
They’re not though… it’s just that endless billions being sent for a war that Europe won’t proportionally help support has to end. How much more money and lives will be wasted in Ukraine?

> Now would be a great time for China to start an invasion

I'm not doubting at all that China has imperialistic designs on Taiwan and the South China Sea. But why would China invade, when its leaders can clearly see that Russia, through strategic patience, bribery, and aggressive hybrid warfare, has finally won the Cold War without ever having to invade the US militarily?

Bribery is rampant among high-ranking military officers in Taiwan, for example. Many of them have been exposed to have sold classified information to the Chinese government for trifling amounts of money. China has also managed to poach a lot of former TSMC engineers to work at SMIC by offering generous salaries. Why take military action against Taiwan today (or in 2027, according to the CIA [1]) when China just has to be very patient?

[1] And do we really trust the CIA, given how many times it has lied throughout its entire existence to justify starting/escalating wars?

We are $36 trillion in debt and it is growing by a trillion dollars every 100 days. Continuing to send hundreds of billions to a losing war is a bigger threat to the US.

The war will end. Russia will offer concessions that benefit the US. They are not going to steamroll Europe. Europe can step up and contribute to Europe’s defense.

You need to re-frame the US/Israel alliance. Right now, it is more a far right alliance between Trump and Netanyahu. It's no longer about either of the states involved or the interactions they may have had in the past.

And to be extremely clear, because it's very likely someone will reply to claim antisemitism - I have a problem with Netanyahu and what Israel does under his leadership. I do not have a problem with people who identify as Jewish, ethnically or religiously.
that may be enough to sway US military leadership

From the article in that link:

I agree.

The problem up until now is that Learn to Code has always been a massive chasm to cross for most people. So like doing anything let alone anything useful felt like it was miles away for most people just getting started.

I’m at a digital marketing agency and recently started our new hires on a AI 101 course I made that introduces them to how we use AI and various scripting/automation tools and just challenges them to make something useful and show it to me.

We’re not really using ChatGPT to summarize an email or something like that. I mean like being able to chain together Google Apps Scripts, Asana API, Zapier, and something else to automate and simplify one of the repetitive tasks that you do everyday. And using ChatGPT to generate the code for each step of the chain.

It’s been interesting to see how nearly all of them just go with it and don’t have any doubt or hesitation. But I think if you gave those same people a “learn to code” course, they’d think, “This isn’t something I’ll be good at.”
