But there's a value in having a defined, stable language definition. Being able to rely on the basic language not changing is a feature, not a bug. Though it does mean you have to sometimes search for a good lib if you don't have a feature built into the language.


Did you respond to the wrong comment?

My comment said nothing about language permanence, though I would say that some measure of evolution can sometimes be for the better. I doubt many people would prefer programming in Java 1.4 over Java 21.


Healthy cells CAN turtle-up, whereas cancer cells engage in unregulated reproduction. Also, some cancer cells can only consume glucose. Which, in a fasted state, would mean that the majority of energy would be in ketones(if the individual were metabolically healthy), starving the cancer cells to death.


Why wouldn’t a strict keto diet not be a cure for those cancers?


Because the cancers cells adapt! (fast reproduction and high mutation rate of the cancerous cells make that process quicker than antibiotics resistance)


the body will actually turn protein into glucose, so the body will never be completely glucose free.


many people try it, but the results are mixed.


I spent an enjoyable afternoon on Kailua beach snorkeling for garbage. I found a fishing pole, a complete snorkeling set, and bunches of other stuff. I just grabbed what I found, took it back to the beach, and dumped it in the garbage can. Very satisfying day.


How many times are we going to have to learn this lesson?


If even a Democratically-led California is doing this, how can you point fingers at just the GOP? It's endemic to the system, and not restricted to just one party.


I just can’t with “both sides” when one side is increasingly becoming lawless and reckless.


Republicans are always trying to increase and protect oil subsidizes, cheer "drill baby drill", and have social media tools peddling their bs who are funded by foreign influence campaigns. The Democats may not be perfect, but they are much more likely to cut oil subsidies or at least subsidize solar and other renewables to balance. This is especially true as the next generation takes over by primarying the tepid fossils currently in office. Meanwhile, dear leader Dumpty likes to suggest windmills cause cancer because he doesn't like what they look like on the horizon of his golf dumps. Saying this is a "both sides" problem is laughable.


Fly over Texas and the California and compare the number of solar and wind installations you see.


Yup. 46.8 GW photovoltaic in California and 22.8 GW photovoltaic in Texas. Over twice as much PV in California even though they have higher standards for new construction in general than Texas does.


Federal involvement during WWII led to the founding of Silicon Valley.


We're getting closer and closer to Jarvis.


Harry Seldon would, no doubt, find this fascinating. Imagine having a sliding-window LLM that you could use to verify a statistical model of society. I wonder what patterns it could deduce?


Also look at how defensible having your power generation outside your coastline is. This is creating a big vulnerability in your power grid.
