Not as a defense of Kramnik's behavior, but Naroditsky's death was determined not likely to be suicide: probable cardiac arrhythmia tied to systemic sarcoidosis, with methamphetamine/kr…

I think it's phrasing and the phrase "damn parasites" that makes it far-right. The idea of changing immigration policies is not unique to any political party. However the quote isn'…

You were the one who brought my experience, you were wrong. You can stop publicly embarrassing yourself at any point. I'm done reading it either way.

Interesting https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/ says we're at 8% of normal traffic. Curious as to the discrepancy.…

> You sound like you’ve never really seen scale and I’m not sure how to respond in a way that is polite. Bro I've worked at meta, I've worked at places that handled 1billion requests a da…

I think this is an interesting thesis that could have been expressed in 100-200 words.

I mean dude, most of us did high-availability before kubernetes existed. Kubernetes didn't solve any unsolved problem, it just moved it from a gui to yaml. You just used a load-balancer (an AWS o…

I used to be critical of almost everyone who used it. Now that I've been learning the ecosystem for a couple years, I'm not as angry about it, and it doesn't affect me as much personall…

I sure hope so. I think the only thing I actually have any concern about is phones and social media use for kids, and I think that has a much easier solution than any sorting of tracking-BS.

are you kidding? there will always be a million porn sites not hosted in the US that everybody will have access too. This sort of pedantry is really just supporting the opposition.

Sure here's one example of decentralizing it -- it's going to be overly simple just as a toy example to show how easy it could be: Whenever you want to prove your adult you go to "am I …

I dunno, feels a bit pat to me, a bit business-school. I think the how/what/why distinction sounds fun "Look! 3 roles at the company may align with 3 question words!" but doesn…

Yeah I read the article and I saw that. And I do think there is a way to use kubernetes with minimal damage, but it requires making firm rules about not focusing on things that aren't needed yet …

> I think there is a real hole in the market for a simple solution Unless of course, all of the busywork that comes with kubernetes IS the value (to the engineer). Perhaps a bunch of engineers know…

Here's my conspiracy theory -- There's a certain type of engineer (maybe 25% of them) who does "hype-driven-development." No matter the technology, they are huge advocates for the …

No it's not on consumer choice. The US government is SUBSIDIZING gasoline when it should be taxing it at a higher rate because of the environmental side-effects. This is standard economics theory…

I feel like the title needs to be clarified -- the premise of this article is that they also found people with 25-50m who were causing corruption. So it should be called "Some Multi Milloinaires …

It's exhausting that the "solution" to problems like this is getting tens or hundreds of thousands of citizens stressed until enough public attention gives some small chance of redress.…

I've noticed this for big companies, and I've noticed it for large startups that hired people who came from big companies. At a place like that - results mean nothing, the only result is wha…

This research is one of the important studies in my own understanding of the world. I think it's the type of thing people are cautious to talk about too much because it might drive a certain type…

Not as bad as "considered harmful" imo but still mildly toxic. I think the point is taking one rando's personal preferences (I'd prefer we swap the order of A and B) and trying to …

Do you work out? If so creatine is supposed to help people push themselves harder and thus build more muscle. As a side-effect of intense exercises you'll create more testosterone. Increased test…

I can second this, do NOT start at 25g of creatine. If you're too lazy to read the literature a friendly AI tool will summarize it.

>> Recently, a pilot study (single-arm) by Smith et al., recruited 20 patients (73 years of age) with AD and provided them with 20 grams/day of CrM for 8 weeks [20]. Serum creatine levels …

A few thoughts 1) It annoys me whenever anybody mentions literally anything (whatever baking soda, potassium, any vitamin) you get a million unhinged comments about how this was a personal panacea. 2)…

To be clear you're not alleging the journal article published in Journal and Brain Psychiatry is ai-generated right.

I mean that's true but I don't think that's realistically what's going on when one model gives an unqualified "Yes" and the other gives an unqualified "no." You…

I mean I get it hits you in the feels... but at the same time... DO talk to your friends, but then use AI too? Like I don't want to say it's a strawman exactly, because some people probably …

I definitely got this sense with Zuckerberg/meta (and probably Musk too) -- it should be ironic disturbing to have people who aren't really social people building our social networks.... Som…
