Well he just « overhauled » them… which I’m going to interpret as laying off a bunch who didn’t flag this to him earlier. If you just got hired by a billionaire who fired everyone on the prior team for not catching something, and is paying you to be brutally accurate are you going to order 1 biopsy? 2?

One gives you a high potential for false positives or negatives, two data points with opposite results is just as useless. Three is the gold standard to create a consensus among sensors, a lesson Boeing learned with their angle of attack at the cost of many lives.

> He publicly shares everything about his lifestyle and routine rather than paywalling them, so if he is running a scam, he probably needs some pointers

Disagree. What he does is run a YouTube channel that appears to do that. That makes it an ideal vehicle to advertise supplements with little research or scientific backing to an uninformed and trusting audience.

Ehh, you’re giving the guy a lot of grace cause he’s rich. I believe the GP was correct and have anecdotal evidence to support that he may be deceptive.

I followed him very loosely 3 years back and he was touting the effectiveness of a hair dye that he claimed permanently restored hair color at the follicle level if you followed their prescribed routine. As in no more greys, permanently. The company was called Mayraki and nobody had ever heard of them before Bryan’s videos and while I’m not saying he was scamming, I find it likely something dubious was going on with a high likely hood of him being paid for this advertising.

He went as far as saying he had his medical team biopsy his scalp and found the hair was not grey below the skin line so therefore was 100% true. It was quite a convincing narrative at the time to try this $100 hair dye.

The internet, especially Reddit, is now full of angry people with grey hair (and less money) that claim this product didn’t do anything beyond a regular dye but for 5-6x the cost. I can attest to this myself.

From the conclusions:

> Sun radiation affects hair properties as color, luster, mechanical resistance, the content of proteins and others.

TLDR Yes it impacts color. Further reading can be found in the 75 studies that can be found in the references section.

Ya, the relationship between UV and sunlight is strange and unintuitive. For that reason I use a UV widget on my lock screen.

I find that being exposed to the value (e.g. 4) while being able to see the suns effect (e.g. cloudy) gives me a better feel for conditions.

There’s plenty, though please evaluate the veracity of their claims for yourself, I’m not a scientist nor do I excel at parsing scientific articles. Here’s one I’ve come across after a few minutes which references many others https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S10111...

The article seems to be a meta analysis of a bunch of conflicting research to support a narrative that we don’t really know shit.

And fair, we don’t.

But a couple of things we do know that weren’t covered - egregiously so - is that aging is UV damage. Sometimes called photoaging, wrinkles, sun spots, discoloration, fine lines, grey hair, all of that shit that you associate with someone visibly looking old is sun damage.

So the picture that the article paints of some pasty nerds in offices shielding themselves from all UV and thus: they might as well be smoking… it doesn’t even touch on why people might be doing this.

Both kurgezadt and veritasium did some really great videos on photoaging and it’s worth checking out if this is new information to you.

Worth noting here for any readers new to UV guidelines that the above rule isn’t necessarily helpful for you. I’m currently traveling in an area that is 8:30am-4:30pm and live in an area that’s 10-6 pm in the summer and shifts throughout the year.

The actual rule is derived from your location’s safe UV index zones, which is found out by determining what local time the UV Index <= 2. Above 2, wear some amount of protection.

There was no cheer in the comment you’re replying to, just facts. The fact that you misinterpreted that is strange.

The fact that you have strong feelings about having your children reviewed by other adults for signs of abuse and neglect is stranger.

You do understand how children are vulnerable and parents aren’t always reliable, yes?

Homeschooling your children can be done well, in theory. However the majority of the time it’s done by imbeciles for religious, political or pseudo-medical reasons and results in children far less educated than the system you criticize and who are also imbeciles.

This is a form of abuse that will destroy a child’s potential far more readily than the four core elements above that you seem to be protesting.

Ah, I think you’re right. That aside, there’s still no evidence of continuity between the two shots and I’m a cynic.

I wasn’t going to say anything until I read this comment but that clip of the gameplay and the clip of the two people playing are not from the same source. The one showing the gameplay has a tower of books or possibly a jenga tower on the coffee table that doesn’t exist when seeing the gamers. It’s just editing magic and stitched together to have exactly the effect elicited by your comment.

Hey Jeff, I did some research on the jetkvm after reading this as I was very impressed but wanted full scale hdmi + Poe and was going to pull the trigger on the clone you mentioned later, ArkKVM but felt like I’d rather support the main project if I could…

What I found seems to indicate that Jet fixed those two issues in a hardware revision but it’s really difficult to distinguish the new on from the old as they’ve seemingly kept the same name and not added a v2 or something like that to the naming. One of their vendors has a Poe va non poe sku, the other has a an emmc vs tf card sku. All seemingly without a name distinguishing them.

There’s also just chaos on Amazon as they are being sold in at least 4 separate listings with no name distinguishing which model is which, non of them mention poe and all claim full size hdmi.

In any case I thought you should know that your write up is out of date here but you probably need to do some digging to figure it out.

This is such a fascinating comment. I’m 99% confident you discovered that you have a recessed lower jaw in the most roundabout way possible, and may never have connected this last dot in your chain of troubleshooting had I not told you.

I’d urge you to speak with a maxilofacial surgeon, they will confirm it by taking detailed X-rays of your jaw and will be able to identify that your airway is likely impacted by the recession.

Usually the causal chain is such: Recessed jaw due to poor development as a child, likely a pacifier or a stomach sleeper > causes your tongue to not have enough space and puts backward pressure on the airway constricting it > poor sleep.

Usually people with recessed jaws have a variety of other mouth related problems too like mouth breathing, gum recession, abnormal amounts of cavities, bruxism, pain and poor bite. If youre lucky a dentist might have caught some of that and flagged it to you but usually they send you to an ortho who magically discovers that this can all be solved by pulling some teeth as a teenager and giving you braces.

This actually makes the situation much worse and you only find out in your mid to late 20s.

Web dev here.

Many years ago I switched over to FF as my default browser but something kept me from using it for development… Nothing that serious, just small quirks in its dev tools UX and behaviors that weren’t bad, just different.

What I noticed was that if I engineered sites for Chrome, they’d be broken maybe 10% of the time on FF when I eventually tested it and maybe 15% in Safari - especially mobile.

Wanting to limit the amount of bugs I put out in the world I changed my approach to developing solely in FF and occasionally testing in Safari and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bug reported in Chrome. It just works. Safari issues are now down to <1% and mostly involve their unique approach to z-indexing but these are entirely predictable now.

Forgive me if you’re not in a solutioning phase right now … but how motivated are you to fix this?

I’m a big fan of ghostty and also unenamoured with the current state of GitHub and Microsoft.

That is to say I believe this is an opportunity to disrupt the incumbent player and I’m game. HMU if you feel similar and want to discuss.

Does anyone else experience very strange styling behavior while scrolling through this article?

The CSS styles seem to dynamically unload and reload while I’m reading it causing the margins to jump and the fonts change, I’ve never seen anything like this before. FWIW I’m on iOS using brave.

Sounds like Robs anger is directed a multiple know issues and “crimes” that the AI industry is responsible for, it would be hard to compile an exhaustive list outside of a lawsuit but if you genuinely aren’t aware there’s plenty in the news cycle right now to occupy you and or outrage the average person.

-Mass layoffs in tech AI data centers causing extreme increases in monthly electricity -bills across the US -Same as above but for water -The RAM crisis is entirely caused by Sam Altman - General fear and anxiety from many different professions about AI replacing them - Rape of the copyright system to train these models

I truly don’t understand comments like this.

You agreed with the other poster while reframing their ideas in slightly different words without adding anything to the conversation?

Most confusingly you did so in emphatic statements reminiscent of a disagreement or argument without there being one

> no computer system just does stuff on its own.

This was the exact statement the GP was making, even going so far as to dox the nonprofit directors to hold them accountable… then you added nothing but confusion.

> a human (or collection of them) built and maintains the system, they are responsible for it

Yup, GP covered this word for word… AI village built this system.

Why did you write this?

Is this a new form of AI? A human with low English proficiency? A strange type of empathetically supportive comment from someone who doesn’t understand that’s the function of the upvote button in online message boards?

First of all, I don’t recommend going through life yucking someone else’s yum.

Second of all, I took TFA advice and read that article with the slowness and deliberate attention it recommended and found it to be trite and difficult to distinguish from AI slop… but if that’s what brings this person joy, good for them.

Who cares if the GP eats their cookies in one bite and listens to their audiobooks at 2.25x speed? Because one self help guru turned blogger said it’s a bad idea?

Oh my.

I feel like we’re corrupting an innocent mind by explaining this to you.

They want the cucumber to be removed too buddy. Don’t worry about it OK.
