Mr. Watson – Come here – I want to see you.

I wonder how much data Apple is transferring today. I used to download from a BBS Apple II software overnight on a 2400 baud modem. What a trip.

This is how one accidentally encourages the creation of timehash services which vend cryptographically provable timestamps....

I subscribe to the Tony Stark school of engineering. "Sometimes you have to run before you walk." Earlier this year, I built my own static site generator. I hate literally every static site generator out there (not joking). get-taxus.org

Big list of events you've attended! Definitely dump more photos when you find the time. I'm more of a casual Nu-Metal enjoyer myself, but I can also appreciate some of the classics.

It's taken me 5 years to get a photo storage engine off the ground. I've got it now, so I now have to go back through time and get the photos up. AC/DC next Thursday!

- Is there a way to get an atom version of the “for-you” feed? I’m guessing this is complicated by needing to be authenticated.

replied to:

Exactly, it makes it way more complicated that's why it's not there yet. Not against the idea though.

中国的开源模型在最高意志的主导下，在预训练数据阶段，就筛除大量对其不利的内容，sft阶段构建的数据掺入大量替其辩护的内容。急需一个纠偏数据集用于微调

Under the overarching influence of a single, powerful force, China's open-source models filter out a large amount of content unfavorable to their designs during the pre-training stage, and then incorporate a significant amount of content defending their designs into the data constructed during the SFT stage. A corrective dataset is urgently needed for fine-tuning.

For 30 years, productivity sky-rocketed with the advancement of automation and computing. Meanwhile, a decline in longevity was observed, correlated to sleep depravation. Productivity improvement goes to the owners class' pockets, sleep benefits the workers health.

For 30 years, productivity skyrocketed through automation, yet longevity plummeted as a direct result of sleep deprivation. While these gains accrue to the owner class, sleep remains an undervalued element of the worker's health. We are trading life expectancy for chump change.

i was under the impression life expectancy has been steadily increasing over the last century, where are these quotes from? and which date?

That said, in Canada working class started loosing life expentancy for the 3rd year in a row, and WHO figures show a decline in improvement of life expentancy globally. But hey, I am just a no-one on the internet spewing bs :)

replied to:

a decline in the improvement of life expectancy isn't the same as a decline in life expectancy, it's just that it's improving less fast now, we might be reaching biological limits however?

replied to:

We tought for years that there was a biological ceiling for sprinters or marathon runners for example, with research backing it, but every one record was shattered. I tend to be cautious of biological explanations.

I am pretty sure confience is what is at work in my case. Did you try something specific to improve in that regard?

Isn't the medical advancements in preventive medicine and accessibility to healthcare increases the life expectancy?

Huge flaw in the static site generator I built. That's what you get I guess when you don't have a computer science degree and you build with only surface level knowledge. You get your ass bit!
