What really got me was the line about ‘assuming there isn’t a problem with bias’

the universe is supposedly expanding very rapidly, with objects moving very rapidly. I would imagine there is a huge bias that is probably wrong.

I understand gravitational lensing and all, but there are huge assumptions made about formations and clusters of celestial bodies where there is a lot of room for these crafted images of stars and black holes to be completely wrong.

What if there is no black hole but just points in the universe where there is so much clutter the light cannot jump around, leading physicist to believe there is a black hole?

Like when I shine my flashlight over a corner, sure you can see the shadow, what if you are two rooms away? Wouldn’t you not be able to see anything at all?

It seems we don’t know anything about the universe and rather than say the equations are wrong and look for more abstract formalizations with larger rooms for error, we continue to hold dogmatic practice to very strict and rigid formalizations. Don’t get me wrong quantum mechanics show the waviness of the world (both metaphorically and literally), it just seems based off of some assumptions we snowball. The snowball effect causes generations upon generations to practice dogma rather than facilitating questioning and looking for contradiction. It seems the physics community has fallen to a confirmation bias.

> my background is watching a lot of biology and trying to understand.

I think while it is okay to ask questions and to be curious you should be careful of imply or imparting logical fallacy and making judgment on such fallacy.

Do some research and try to understand more about the CSF and the cleaning process. There are articles out there.

Again the research shows correlation, while correlation does not imply causation until you can falsify the hypothesis you should be careful creating bias. Maybe the mere act of the fluid passing around in the brain is enough to dilute and weaken the toxin bonds, which then dilutes the effect over certain areas of the brain.

Alzheimer research is very limited, and any insight into the potential cause and effect is important to give funding to. Dissent like the one you are trying to create only harms society.

What’s your background?

It seems the answers to these questions are either intuitive or irrelevant.

> - how is the fluid itself cleaned?

See the intuitive and imaginative answer would say something along the lines of white blood cells would consume the toxins.

How is bacteria during an infection cleaned? White blood cells consume them!

Why would this point even add to your discourse? It has no relevance. Either the fluid gets cleaned or it doesn’t. Either way there is a correlation between brain health and the fluid.

Also it’s not like a fucking snow globe. Or mouth wash. It’s not just a fluid reused and swashed back and forth.

Again, this is why I’m asking what your background is. Did you even read the article?

:c but please!

I’m not sure... HN is supposed to be real time discussions of articles. summarizing the article not only is not discussion (read it is regurgitation / bastardization) but any argument / discussion had based on the summary will be inaccurate as they are going off of the words of another, who more than likely integrated logical fallacies that did not exist before the comment.

Yeah while you are correct I am not talking about that specific additive. I am talking about a gaseous system of atoms and how temperature is related in a statistical manner rather then being identified as an individual process. Maybe it cannot be identified individually. That lack of individual identification or proof against the ability of individual identification is enough to say that science in its broadest terms is vague

Damn what do I do to get go away money instead of jail time?

Yeah this guy gets it! Thank you :)

Well I think it’s vague because it’s not accurately representing what is going on. Is that average kinetic energy even distributed throughout the system or can it be isolated to specific moving points of the system? Ie some particles in the north most part of the system have this energy and are moving around the system. Or even only the particles in the north have the energy.

Feynman said it best that with each question you keep going back and back and back trying to exemplify through allusion?

Words will always fail to accurately describe the totality of the system and even worse the math formulas don’t do any better especially when considering statistics.

The average grades in my class is 80 but that doesn’t mean Ryan sitting in the front row got a 100 and Andrew in the middle row got a 62. Maybe everyone did get an 80, so then how can I describe not only in words but in function the distinction between these two environments; ie the 100&62 and the all 80s class?

What’s more insane is the hundred mill he got after being forced out... such a shame

Amor fati has joined the game... cool to see Neitzche get honorable mentions still

It’s such a shame how not only is this accepted but is also apparently supposed to be vase case. Any question of use of food is deemed as divergence and handled without care... honest bullshit

Get this guy in front of cspan... artificial scarcity is rarely written about yet its blaring.

Food scarcity is one of the largest perpetrators of artificial scarcity. Massimo Bottura whole model for food for the soul is based on the appalling 30% of food waste he witnessed first hand. If you ever have the pleasure to hear this beautiful man speak, you will understand the little effort, but extreme creativity that goes into combating waste. It is quite sad some chefs throw out half the meat to get the perfect box for the plate. Use the scraps for ‘family meal’ aka staff meal and boom all that waste is gone. Such simple effort is apparently extremely innovative.

We have taken the thanos mindset too far ‘I yield this powerful glove that can do anything, the universe is over populated so destroy half the universe’. It’s so obvious that you can also create double the space. The exponential growth will be the same either way, maybe a couple years lean on the destruction, eventually they will equal out when your curve goes to infinity. It’s like people learned calculus 2 and are like ‘ahaha this is bullshit it has no real world applicability’. No look at your decisions and their consequences, create a curve and measure the area under the curve, see they converge at the same axis and realize regardless of the x shift the curves both converge at the same y. Like that math has an abstract application which should be used for critical thinking application. It is very sad to see people write ‘teach me about finances and taxes calculus is useless’. The very passive application of calculus has helped me go from being in the biggest rut of my life to actually feeling productive in the field.

Anyways I diverged 3 times sorry.

Could not agree more!!!

What about security patterns for web browsing?

I feel the logic is somewhat similar but injections to websites / applications may be easier and hard to prevent against, so filtering pornography may be useful. I’m a dev not a security expert so sorry in the lack of understanding. I am actually trying to learn more about security / hacking

I think you are missing the point of years of space debris being added will eventually cause Kessler syndrome to be a lot more accessible from short space travel

Thank you for this article! I would post kurgezstat video but their credibility went down recently so NOPE

Or we fuck up and make it an earth asteroid rather than a near earth asteroid ... lol. With the way events have been shaping recently I say there’s a 50/50% chance of success

I think the concern is that near earth orbit one day will be impassable without some garbage collection.

The acceleration of objects in near earth orbit is vastly greater than the particles from a mine. Space ships collaring with super fast particles in the orbit could spell disaster for the spacecraft.

Hopefully we find ways to make the rock impact negligible if we ever get to the stage of unable to leave orbit due to collisions with space particles (Not saying subatomic particles I just mean debris)

> Learn to plan better and prioritize aggressively instead of just hiring and getting everything done.

I often wonder how accurate the roadmap prioritization can be. I do agree it’s pretty silly to build a lot of infrastructure that will never effect your clients.

If you have for instance a billing process that needs to be automated, custom infrastructure is needed. Manual approvals of all transactions is a lot even for banks. Operations can always benefit from something that cuts their overhead time down a significant chunk. Operations approval on transactions seems like an operations problem but clients having to wait for approval means now the problem is shifted.

Which maths are you doing? Unless you’re talking about already well defined formalizations.

Oh wow so you mean an end to end monitoring / analytical system of Baap/s can generate a company millions upon millions in upstream revenue?

I can offer you all the stats you need.

Even then it is irresponsible. Dogma is rapid in industries filled with compartmentalizations.

To best avert disaster tech needs to first be open to the public and submisiable to regulation.

Lol... terminator dark fate sub 1, the parallel. Never before has a movie shown the events that are simultaneously manifested in reality.

Come on down this fall it’s going to be scorching out. I mean the sky will literally be on fire as your mind explodes from both radiation and the insane surelism that was terminator!

I wonder where the estimates are sourced, and if the sources of estimates can have a larger effort and still be efficient in supplying information. Or would there be a wall, aka too many chefs in the kitchen.

Which at the end of the day is kind of useless until you have fundamental insight.

Maybe it can help theorist to more efficiently identify what is fundamental insight.

The link to reverse engineering is great. I wonder how well it has worked with fission and making a star in my backyard.

Techniques aren’t to be dogmatic or pragmatic. They are to be explored and reinvented. Whoever came up with don’t reinvent the wheel just wants to soak up as much profit from the current paradigm as possible.

Think of Tesla, Elon said something like x > 50%(don’t remember it wasn’t like 97% I believe) of pets used had to be redesigned and were not factory standard or template.

Veribility in the back envelope may give false positives which can hinder progress is all I’m saying :)

While I agree with most of the sentiment, it should be noted most companies don’t ‘hyper-focus’ specialization like that.

There are always going to be interacting systems and having knowledge of other systems only helps your job performance.

When scoping for a client, there are many legal concerns at play. The scope, handed from the client, cannot be too specific technically. The concern is, if the systems change(due to firm changes, etc...) or one part of the implemented functionality is turned off (typically a free, or exit fee cost) certain technical verbiage would require contract arbitration and renegotiation.

Maintaince fees are different.

Most firms are paid significantly for the software produced, if they employees are not paid a proportionate amount, that’s the firms problem not the client.

Unreasonable internal scopes are different then client scopes. You just emphasized you worked in a client facing business, I thought it was an interesting topic to discuss.

Damn thought this would’ve been the link to the advice on how to stop my robot guard from being installed with a virus via radio waves and slitting my throat at night.

Do you stop yourself short?

Honestly answer. Do you face death all the way? Does the immense pain dissipate, and similar thoughts had with no pain attached?

There is gold in the ashes. It is up for the individual to identify.

Death is painful and dreadful. Anxiety ridden. Everyone feels it when contemplating death. Like the Mideveal ages everyone should walk around with a golden jeweled skull.

We plan for life, never for death. Find in the saddest moments, the hardest moments, the beauty the light gives you.

For in death, there are no answers that pertain to life just as life has no answers that pertain to death.

You may have control over living this life, but only if you fully see the beauty that death allows in life.

Don’t let the anxiety stop you.

Darkness, surrounding and surmounting, where no self exists, life boundlessly feeding into the ether and the ether boundlessly feeding into life.

A process of forget, death, decay, growth and born. Where the process is outside all of that.

The process that persists yet you go away.

Think about that darkness there, that scary insurmountable darkness of the persisting process. The persisting process that if it had awareness and wanted to undergo death and growth it could not, yet you are bounded by this process. To always grow and die, either eternally forever or one time in the whole of forever. Both time being a perfect circle and a straight line, you being the one point for all of that eternity.

To be reprised or forgotten about forever.

Darkness shattering.

The paralyzing will, if fostered, cared for, can exhume paralyization and can find a dark addicting taste for the affinity of the unknowable.

Having worked at a company with a useful architect described above, it’s impressive to see what can be made to streamline developer lives.

Also, the amount of knowledge developers can absorb from the arch team code base to use in the future is amazing. Ie; personal projects, etc...

I think to help offset the junior bothering the arch. Team, knowledge transfer meetings + documentation is always necessary.

Thank you for the other perspective of how architect can go wrong!

I think this is the largest necessity for those truly invested in a truly random performing system.

The truly random system can also provide more sophisticated simulation / effects of said simulation.

Think of trying to programmatically trying to solve unbound equations / millennium problems. Anything involved in testing to deal with chaos would not be accurately represented until a true random is created.

Now what is true random, and does true random exist is a whole other topic of conversation.
