> As long as it is in the normal range for your sex and age, you're fine even if your ferritin remains at 0. This is simply wrong when one considers that iron has many bodily funct…

I've read some of your stuff over the years and was appreciative of its accessibility. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ The above is another example I appreciate: the author…

I agree with the cognitive premise unfortunately. But even so, I start to speculate about solving this by DIY book printing, or advances in digital reading technology (mostly I'm i…

In most cases that is also true, although in rare cases I will buy physical copies of certain books for that reason.

I have a hard time cognitively justifying most physical book purchasing anyways when internet shadow libraries have most of what I want to read.

Reminds me of how startups now will change their social proof marquee on the landing page from actual testimonials, to "trusted by XYZ", to just one composed of company logos (with…

‘At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production, or this may express the same thing in le…

People salivate so hard at the thought of the high level of automation promised that they're willing to do away with privacy altogether and live in Data Communism. My thinking is, …

Not really, personally... time waits for no one.

This is awesome! In the past I would use the promise of starlink or other LEO internet as a tiebreaker for booking flights and was disappointed a few times (as clearly not all of t…

I found it absurdly slow yesterday.

I don't know much about UL but I can say that FCC certification (also technically required) for electronics can range from about $3k to something like $30k depending on what you're…

That's all fair. It is a cool piece of work nonetheless. For example I am thinking, what if I wanted to hook up my micasa instance to some other arbitrary self-hosted service? If i…

I feel like a lot of these types of apps could just be spreadsheets. Maybe a "smart" spreadsheet like Grist[0] executing Python code. Am I off-base there? [0] https://github.com/gr…

This is a more honest comment than the many around it making overly intellectualized arguments. But I would sooner compare this engineer class to something of a small bourgeoisie s…

Familiar relationships always come out of a sense of shared responsibility and utility, not out of a "secular" desire to "make friends", the way I see it. So, live vigorously in a …

ZeroFS is a single-writer architecture and therefore has overall bandwidth limited by the box it's running on. JuiceFS scales out horizontally as each individual client writes/read…

It has some functionality of this type (you can see in the overall map a small number of "sensor" nodes), but it's not super well fleshed out or documented ATM. What I think you ca…

Nth for MeshCore, which the Boston Mesh has found to be a much more scalable solution for building an emplaced mesh network with hundreds of clients: https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/…

I think that would be too reductive. The objective productive factors of software are what give it actual value. The author could have chosen to write "produce useful software", bu…
