For me?

If I could have daily full 3d body scans, and time lapse healing, track injury progress, visualize and correlate food and exercise.

And all I have to do is chill out about known benign cysts and tumors.

Yes I think it will help. I would take that trade off.

I already can feel a few cysts that have been with me for a long time, docs said I was fine, so I've already been through the stressful initiation of benign lumps.

Why can't we do full body scans, learn about these "quirks", and document them in the wider science literature?

I understand there are many benign tumors that doctors prefer to ignore in people, but eventually when scanning becomes portable and safe enough having regular access to scans could really help a lot of conditions.

Combine it with meth and sleep deprivation and that could explain it.

Codex scanned my whole Arch Linux system, documented all the findings, and wrote the queries for my IDS to keep a watch for exfil and other IoCs. Set up the alerts for me too.

The queries kinda sucked at first, but it was pretty awesome to get to spend more time with my kids while Codex would manage the incident response for me.

People barely read PRs at most places I've worked.

The only reason they'd go deeper is for a bisect, or some other analytical method.

At least one day I hope they level up to be able to do that.

It's a golden rule thing for me.

I like more information because it's easier to filter too much data, than to reconstruct destroyed information.

DMCA allows circumventing this kind of stuff for repair and interoperability.

You can just use evil mode inside emacs and get the best of both worlds.

Vim and Emacs barely overlap in functionality.

I'm nuerodivergent, I dream of a world where not only can they unmask, but that normal folk will see the intricate chaotic beauty behind it.

Probably a pipe dream though.

But for sure I don't want to force it on people.

Don't use the feature if you don't want to, I'm all about freedom of choice.

Just saying the upside to it.

Disagree. This how people best learn from each other. It's also nice to audit your own thought process objectively.

It makes one vulnerable though, that's for sure. Psychologically I mean.

Working backwards from clues in the article, thief maybe stole 200-400 ft of wire.

Assuming between 3-1/8″ - 6-1/8″ diameter.

Somewhere between $1,360 - $6,400 of scrap value. $70k-$100k to repair...

Absurd.

I am curious why you are interested in that.

Not OP, but modern asymmetric cryptography on the Internet negotiates a new encryption key on every connection.

I'm starting to prefer the s expression syntax when dealing with tree structures like json.

I wonder if we were raised on tree based algebra if math would be easier to do, or harder.

Like, solve for x.

   (= (+ (* 2 x) 3) 11)
   (= (* 2 x) (- 11 3))
   (= (* 2 x) 8)
   (= x (/ 8 2))
   (= x 4)

Though this isn't too bad.

    (= (+ (pow x 2)
          (pow y 2))
       (pow r 2))

You need creatine to live. Your body typically makes enough from protein to survive (vegetarians and vegans might need extra vigilance here).

This is just taking more to optimize performance.

It's not the same.

Is there a third party like the AUR?

If not we should make one. We should call it Sloppage so the Gentoo devs know what it's about. X-D

I didn't realize how strict they were against LLMs.

Codex has really helped my fix and tighten up my AUR PKGBUILDs.

I was thinking about trying Gentoo in the future, but not being able to contribute because I use LLMs in my workflow sucks.

To be honest BPF is one of those acronyms that I think might be more recognizable as the acronym than what it actually stands for.

Not quite as much as Radar or Laser, but halfway there.

Germany’s GDP is the apples harvested this year. Nvidia’s market cap is what investors think the entire orchard will produce over decades.

So really it should be Germany's "Fruit Pile" and Nvidia's "predicted orange production" over decades.

That refinement captures that Germany's GDP is more than one fruit, and a snapshot of this year. And Nvidia is more narrow (one fruit), and operating on a different time horizon.

Alpha-GPC and Uridine Monophosphate appear to have some effect, though minor. Also not exactly neurogenesis, but adjacent stuff. Evidence is complicated, there seems to be a signal but it's a weak effect.

It's an even simpler user experience to just publicly publish all private information.

Can you imaging, I wouldn't even need to give my social security number to another org manually again. Anyone could just look it up. It would make things so easy for everyone.

Growing up, in school, teachers would do this all the time with our text books.

My votes for relatively modern stuff: Ed Witten: Unification of various forms of string theory.

Category theory and the work building programming langauges on top of that.

If the whole thing pans out: Langlands Program (unifying most of mathematics).

Wofram Language and the math capability is pretty amazing for such a small team.

Anything that CERN touches, from the web to various quantum theories.

Genetic mapping and science.

The Lambda CDM model, and all the work that goes into constraining their predictions with limited data is pretty amazing.

Some of the things cryptanalysts and hackers do is pretty remarkable. Side channel attacks like Row hammer attacks (not strictly crypto), EM analysis, etc..., and things like hash collisions and Differential cryptanalysis.

Modern materials science is chock full of amazing intellectual achievements.

"Winning ways for your mathematical plays" as a book on game theory is a remarkable achievement by itself.

This is one of those designs that should be implemented on every computer. I'd love to have a little button pop up that helps my identity a symbol.

Yes! good point, I have noticed this as well.

You reminded me about another idiosyncrasy: Doctors are addicted to double blind randomized control trials.

Which yes, those are powerful. But good evidence can come from many other study designs. Especially when mechanisms and first principles are being studied.

Came here for this ommission. I saved up for a long time to get an 8800 GTX, and I had that card for 5 years before upgrading again.

I didn't read their whole comment, but I worked in the Internal Research department of a medical school. I did their statistical studies and built software for analysis pipelines.

Doctors, at least 15 years ago, were definitely bad at statistics.

They were not required to take a statistics course at all. Most programs would require Algebra and Calculus as part of their science reqs.

Some would maybe take one basic research course, and they would then become obsessed with p values of 0.05.

They did not have a basic understanding of how to interpret research unless they were an auto didactic and went out of their way to improve. It's something my director (a doctor and software engineer), and the Dean complained about relentlessly.

Well damn, I didn't know about this until now, and I could actually use one.

Is there any alternative?

I think those people are around, they are just not rewarded by this kind of system. They can propose plans and fixes, they just don't get implemented.

Great resource. I'm building a basic version of this in my basement DIY style. Not going to get to industrial levels, but I think some fun experiments are to be had.

That article is making a narrower claim than you're implying. It argues that NAT is not a security mechanism by design and that some forms of NAT provide no protection, which is true.

It also explicitly acknowledges that NAT has side effects that resemble security mechanisms.

In typical deployments, those side effects mean internal hosts are not directly addressable from the public internet unless a mapping already exists. That reduces externally reachable attack surface.

So, the disagreement here is mostly semantic. NAT is not a security control in the design sense, but it does have security-relevant effects in practice.

I personally do consider NAT as part of a security strategy. It's sometimes nice to have.
