Amazing collection. Thanks for posting! Could you share a bit of your process for finding and restoring? The work involved must have been extensive.

A .3 point difference isn’t going to make a real difference to anyone’s life and is likely a wash when other yet undiscovered biases are in the mix. Unfairness and bias is a critical factor in driving people to extraordinary achievements.

I replaced my torsion springs a few weeks ago with little drama. The hardest part was measuring the old springs so I could order the correct replacements. The reason I did it myself was 1) the springs used by contractors are typically lower quality and will last 10k cycles vs about 30k for the standard ones I ordered. 2) I wanted to learn how the system worked so I could adjust it as needed and know it was done right and not be reliant on an ‘expert’ same as why people work on their cars 3) labor costs in Seattle area are higher than most other areas. The best video on replacement is https://youtu.be/xOXO01rdZ5c?feature=shared. I used zip ties to hold the cable pulleys and open mouthed bracket in place instead of the vice grips as he did in the video. I did not weigh the door. I did it alone, though probably not recommended. I ordered from DDM Garage Doors. I wouldn’t recommend Amazon vendors as they all look pretty sketch. Definitely order proper winding bars with good rubber stops to help you ensure you’ve inserted it fully before each wind. If you are at all mechanical minded (replaced a clothes dryer drum? ), this is doable. Just go slow and be safe. Took me about an hour to remove the old springs, 3 days to get parts and 3 hours to install including having to repeat the winding because the cables came off during the first try. I wore gloves, safety glasses and during the winding of the springs a bike helmet and an over the ear headset to protect my ears. Probably could have used teeth protection, and a chainsaw type face shield. The dangerous part is tightening the set bolts while the spring is tensioned . If you aren’t paying attention, I can see that it might be easy to bump the bar out of place, releasing the tension and potentially shooting the bolts back at you or the spring catching your gloves and fingers and shredding them.

Maybe consider not questioning motives or disposition ? My first thought was that it was staged. The lack of critical thinking in todays world is appalling and enables the exploitation of the vulnerable.

OpenAI is not a charity. Microsoft's investment is in OpenAI Global, LLC, a for-profit company.

From https://openai.com/our-structure

- First, the for-profit subsidiary is fully controlled by the OpenAI Nonprofit. We enacted this by having the Nonprofit wholly own and control a manager entity (OpenAI GP LLC) that has the power to control and govern the for-profit subsidiary.

-Second, because the board is still the board of a Nonprofit, each director must perform their fiduciary duties in furtherance of its mission—safe AGI that is broadly beneficial. While the for-profit subsidiary is permitted to make and distribute profit, it is subject to this mission. The Nonprofit’s principal beneficiary is humanity, not OpenAI investors.

-Third, the board remains majority independent. Independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. Even OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, does not hold equity directly. His only interest is indirectly through a Y Combinator investment fund that made a small investment in OpenAI before he was full-time.

-Fourth, profit allocated to investors and employees, including Microsoft, is capped. All residual value created above and beyond the cap will be returned to the Nonprofit for the benefit of humanity.

-Fifth, the board determines when we've attained AGI. Again, by AGI we mean a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work. Such a system is excluded from IP licenses and other commercial terms with Microsoft, which only apply to pre-AGI technology.

How are you planning on dealing with licensing for the iOS version you are working on?

I avoid or minimize saturated and trans fats. When I do eat meat now I eat lean meats. Eat whole non-boxes foods, mostly vegetables,legumes,oat meal, brown rice, some whole wheat and fruits, some chicken , turkey fish, and eggs. Red meat and dairy rarely.

Edit on initial reply: “Keto gets its benefit from avoiding low simple carbs , not from avoiding complex carbs or consuming high saturated fats.“

I respect your enthusiasm and journey to get healthy. My experience is I went on a low fat, low simple carb, low sugar diet (commonly referred to as vegetarian) and lost over 30 pounds and reduced my LDL by 60 points over 4 months. I think it’s unfortunate that the Keto industry has chosen to brand themselves low carb/high fat. Rarely do they distinguish good fat from bad fat and good carbs from bad carbs. Keto gets its benefit from low simple carbs , not high saturated fats.

A couple of thoughts when I heard about this. Why should I think of this as anything but exploitation of a relationship with a cultural icon. And I still don’t see that NFTs are anything more than An illusion of value.

>It has not changed. If anything, the intervening 6 years has more strongly cemented my belief that using apt is the opposite of useful and convenient for folks.

hmmm...

Package managers have been arguably the single biggest reason that I've gravitated back toward Linux and have exclusively used it for developing that past 10 years. Rolling your own installation script doesn't on its face look like a good strategy for adoption.

If I vote for A,b and c, and only D and E make it to the final round, my vote isnt counted in the final found. Often a voter is asked to rank their top 2 or 3, and many rank only 1.

Hello, Q. What is happening? A. We are ending support for Node.js 10 in AWS Lambda on July 30, 2021. This follows the Node.js language governing body declaring Node.js 10 end of life as of April 30, 2021 [1].

Q. What does end of support for Node.js 10 in Lambda mean? A: As described in the Lambda runtime support policy [2], end of support for language runtimes in Lambda happens in two stages. Starting July 30, 2021, Lambda will no longer apply security patches and other updates to the Node.js 10 runtime used by Lambda functions, and functions using Node.js 10 will no longer be eligible for technical support. In addition, you will no longer be able to create new Lambda functions using the Node.js 10 runtime. Starting Aug 30, 2021, you will no longer be able to update existing functions using the Node.js 10 runtime.

End of support does not impact function execution. Your functions will continue to run. However, they will be running on an unsupported runtime which is no longer maintained or patched by the AWS Lambda team.

... Q. How do I know if I have any functions using Node.js 10? aws lambda list-functions --function-version ALL --output text --query "Functions[?Runtime=='nodejs10.x'].FunctionArn"

Q. What do I need to do? A. You should migrate your existing Node.js 10 Lambda functions to Node.js 14, which is the latest supported Node.js version in Lambda [4]. Node.js 14 is not yet supported by Lambda@Edge, so Lambda@Edge functions should be upgraded to Node.js 12. By moving to a supported runtime version you will continue to benefit from important ... enhancements offered by more recent releases.

Q. What if I need additional help? A. Please contact us through AWS Support [5], the AWS Lambda Developer Forum [6], or your AWS account team should you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely, Amazon Web Services
