S_A_P commented on Decades of Research Misconduct Stalled an Alzheimer's Cure   sciencefriday.com/article... · Posted by u/sorokod

Scientists like Sylvain Lesné whose alleged misconduct cost us over a decade investigating a dead end hypothesis should face substantial prison time. Considerable people have faced the horror of this disease with no hope for a cure in sight because charlatans like this likely manipulated data in the name of making their own careers.

No doubt! My father is suffering from Alzheimer’s and I have just been told that I have a few months left due to colorectal cancer. I can only wonder if there are/was/is something delaying better treatments for my condition. I am now on the hunt for alternative treatment options for me, and one of the molecules that has been suggested is highly controversial as it was suggested as a covid treatment.

Affer the shut down on YouTube, did you post them elsewhere? That way, people can still watch it.

I lost 1-2 videos due to a lost hard drive, but I have not found alternative video hosting. Any that you recommend?

My channel suffered the same fate. I had a few original songs on it and a few original videos on it. Never got a warning or copyright strike or any sort of notice. Just boom shut down.

After reading the article I didn’t pick up what any of the advantages are of 28hr days other than being able to communicate with other regions of the world on certain days. I suppose that could be a very important factor for some people who do work in a geographically dispersed area. A few things I would be concerned with are: 1) your SO is not on the same schedule and really for what isn’t a solid reason. I could see this becoming a source of resentment at some point. 2) you have to cut people out of your life vs explaining the schedule when they don’t understand why. I understand that the lectures would likely get tiresome at some point, but it seems a bit selfish to switch to this schedule when it could become problematic for friends and family members. 3) I think cardio and total health should be measured and monitored as part of the experiment. It is entirely possible that this schedule can have real benefits for health or at the least not negatively affect your health. You mention that you are able to workout more often and effectively, so it may also be interesting to track your fitness level on the schedule vs 24 hr days. It would just be anecdotal but it would at least be some data.

I guess the only other things I would want to know is what factors pushed most to switching schedules? How long do you plan to stay on the schedule? How does your employer handle this schedule change? Or are you self employed/running a business? What do you think the biggest challenges are during the switch aside from being tired at hour 10-11? What does your SO really think about this schedule? The more I think about this, the more questions I have :)

The argument in favor of the Everettian multiverse (“where else could the computation have happened, if it wasn’t being farmed out to parallel universes?”) seems illogical to me. Aren't these parallel universes running the same computation at the same time, and thus also "farming out" part of their computations to us? If so, it's a zero-sum game, so how could there be an overall performance gain for all the universes?

I am also curious if Mark Everett, Hugh’s son, has an account here.

Lightning is a great example of noise causing amplitude changes and not frequency changes. That’s why during a thunderstorm am radio plays each strike between the station and you. The is usually not any indication of lightning strikes on FM.

I’m going on 7 years with my iMac Pro now and it’s still more than enough for my uses. (Audio recording/production) I am hoping to get 3 more years out of it if possible. We’ll see if Apple lets that happen.
S_A_P commented on Ask HN: Should you reply STOP to unwanted texts?    · Posted by u/yawn
S_A_P · a year ago
I’m not Left Wing. I’m certainly not right wing. However the latest trend for the Kamala campaign has in my case decided to follow the technical details of stop but not the intended scenario. I got a text message from the campaign fundraiser and clicked stop. Next day same time. Same first 6 digits different last 4. I hate politics. I’m not going to vote based off of a text.

Its also clear that the carrier wasn't ready for it. People with the original iPhone would get entire boxes mailed to them for their Cingular statement, itemizing every data transaction, but then all flat rate charged.
S_A_P · a year ago
I had an original iPhone and did not get such statements. As I recall while Cingular was indeed not ready to handle unlimited data for customers, it wasn’t really a problem for the first iPhone since it wasn’t 3g. Once the 3g dropped , it was a problem since people were actually able to consume a large amount of data.
