It’s been posted many times, I think mostly due to it’s association to Mitchell Hashimoto. It’s left as an exercise the reader to determine why this is important.
The constant, exhausting, and frankly pointless changes to macos is really driving me back to rolling my own desktop on freebsd or linux. At least under that environment nothing changes unless I change it.
They also realize that adding two integers in a higher level language could look quite different when compiled depending on the target hardware, but they still understand what is happening. Contrast that with your average llm user asking it to write a parser or http client from scratch. They have no idea how either of those things work nor do they have any chance at all of constructing one on their own.
If you go to most Fortune 500 companies they will have a whole team of people dedicated to running an IdP and doing integrations. Most people on these teams cannot explain oauth, oidc, or saml even though they work with it every single day. It’s that bad.
just getting knoll's law'd or gell-mann triggered as HN does, "modern enterprise security" is a 20-layer cake of serious itu and nist cryptographic protocols like radius and x509 kerberos (which we're depressed about for some reason? is it because it can't be implemented in javascript?) but it's saml that's used at the web (shit) application-tier for customers of saas products so that's the technology that makes the world go round according to HN... just ignore me, most of HN's database threads do this to me as well
It doesn’t seem completely out of the question that he could have received a contagious cancer. There are examples in the animal world. I believe Tasmanian devils spread facial tumors through biting. And I have heard dogs have certain transmissible cancers as well.
It stands to reason in my decidedly non-expert opinion. Many cancer cells have "forgotten" how to differentiate properly. Why should such a cell care if it's in the proper host any more than it cares it's in the proper place within that host?
I am a bit surprised that his own immune cells wouldn't stop it, but if cancer were easy for the immune system to deal with nobody would die of it.
> but if cancer were easy for the immune system to deal with nobody would die of it.
This made me think, whether it would somehow make sense that cancer cells on another host would be detected by the immune system of that host. Theoretically, these immune cells have different “initialization parameters” so to say and maybe they could show affinity to the foreign cancer cells.
But then again I am not an expert and this is just a pure speculation.
