Unless you’re working 16h per day, every day, you have time to cook.

if you are single, sure. but as soon as you have family, those calculations go out the window. worse if you are a single parent. long commutes, a stressful job...

8 hours work, 8 hours sleep, 1 hour commute, 1 hour lunch, 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour spending time with my kids (means i do what they want), 1 hour TV to relax. 1 hour exercise/go for a walk. that leaves me with 2 hours for everything else. housework? shopping? keeping in touch with others? go out to meet friends/family?

i love cooking. i did it all the time before i got married. i rarely went out to dinner. but as soon as i got married i had to stop. i couldn't afford the time that i needed to dedicate to it to do it right. it's more than just the process, it's the planning, the shopping, etc.

it's not a question of time, but priorities. for most people 18 hours (sleep, work, commute, lunch) are spoken for, and everything else has to fit into the remaining 6 hours. yes, you can move things around. you have time to cook if you can delegate. that just never worked for me. at best i can delegate washing dishes and other housework.

The case for including an ethnicity in the minimum reporting categories starts with, largely, that it is both a large community and that it significantly cuts across rather than existing largely within a category already defined as a racial category; "Ethnicities" which would fall almost entirely within the Asian, Asian, or White racial categories don't really have a strong case.

That said, there is probably a good argument for breaking out at least South Asian from Asian as a distinct top-level racial category, in the same way that MENA recently was. (But note that all of the top-level categories also have more detailed breakdowns available, and recent revisions have also moved to require the more detailed options to collected in a wider range of circumstances.)

> The only reason Hispanic is one is because the conquistadors were really, really persistent, murderous, and shameless eh?

Mostly, the opposite: that the successors to the conquistadors were less genocidal and more assimilationist than their British and British-descended North American counterparts.

Neat little thing. Feels like a great learning tool for kids, like a new age pygame.

Scratch and the others in that style always felt like it went one step too far. It's designed for 5 yearolds, and 5 yearolds don't need to be learning about code.

This is a good sweetspot for a ~10 year old. Reasonably simple string manipulation , a couple of syntax tricks to learn, and not much else. Just to get a basic side scroller with some NPC's. Then they can incorporate control flow when they are ready.

Consider releasing a class for kids on this tool & investing in the playground. You could get some real sales.

A different angle, you could do some basic procgen game assets with this tool.

If you take the percentages from the CDC and multiply them out (and don't fall for the "polio" vs "paralytic polio" sleight of hand), it was way smaller than that - somewhere on the order of 0.01%.

The flu, for example, was always a worse risk than polio, people just became fearful of polio because we found a way to save some lives in a non-ideal way, which became very visible.

The article is written for a different audience than you might be used to. oregonlive is the website for the newspaper The Oregonian, which is the largest newspaper in the state of Oregon. Intel has many of its largest fabs in Oregon and is a big employer there. The local news is writing about a hip new startup for a non-technical audience who know what Intel is and why it's important, but need to be reminded what a CPU actually is.

It's not that it's a proxy for memory use, but FD is its own resource, I've seen many software with FD leak (i.e. they open a file and forget about it, if they need the file again, they open another FD) so this limit can be a method to tell that it's leaking. Whether that's a good idea/necessary depends on the application.

It's not hard to understand. It's wrong. Section 631 is about intentionally making an unauthorized connection to a telephone or message transmitted by wire. Unintentional access is not illegal. Any call where all parties consent, it is not illegal. Existing exemptions are only for those providing communication services, collecting tarrifs and jails. Law enforcement can't do this, without a warrant. Tracking pixels aren't covered by 631. Not sure if you are aware, but the jails are exempt because they monitor calls without authorization of all parties. 631 only applies to intentionally accessing communications without the consent of all parties. I see no reason to give any commercial business purpose authorization to monitor my communications in a manner law enforcement is not authorized to. There likely other laws that may apply, but I am good with this one applying. You mention CCPA, it doesn't apply to every business. From my reading your two examples are no longer covered by 631. If this were just for frivolous lawsuits a narrower exemption would have been more acceptable. As it is now, I am completely ok with this being illegal. Remember 631 is about intercepting communications you aren't authorized to access.

Effective communication is quite humbling.

It's been my experience that I need to take full responsibility for the effectiveness of my communications.

A few years ago, I threw together a PowerPoint show, based on Randall Munroe's Communication comic[0]. I did it for an organization I participate in, that is full of some of the worst communicators I've ever encountered.

It astounds me, how people that get paid to communicate, don't understand the fundamentals.

American born Ethnic Chinese would like a word. As would a very large number of other groups.

The only reason these groups are included this way is because of lobbying power (for and against) and $$ and privileges related to being in or out of various categories.

From an ontological perspective, your argument is BS looking at the actual distributions and ground truth of these groups.

I think this is zero marginal cost income that they receive from something they created to sell their core product (devices). They essentially need this app infrastructure to support their device sales and the idea that the developers are financing it or that some are free riding is just silly.

This is money that apple can get for free and they choose to give up some of it because it benefits them to have more apps and more developers so they can sell more devices. You just don't notice it because they have built their business to a size where they have a network effect advantage and aren't desperate to get every developer they can if they were a smaller player.

Do or do not, there is no try.

When you frame the issue as a matter of willpower or trying harder then you're already setting yourself up to fail. Everyone that I know who has succeeded in maintaining a healthy body composition has done so through permanent lifestyle changes in which they set up better defaults and positive habits. The daily exercise program then becomes something that they have to do whether they want to or not, rather that something that they can really choose. And some of these people literally used to be obese alcoholics, so it's totally possible. Discipline has to be progressively built up over time through exercising it, just like a muscle.

I seems like people cant help but discuss this issue in a black or white way, when it isnt a binary. Choice obviously matters. It is difficult to change. Environment obviously matters. It is difficult to change.

When talking about human society, environment is a culmination of collective choice.

People who say willpower is futile are still faced with choice of if they feed their kids soda and McDonalds for breakfast.

> This seems crazy. Never had such a commute and most of my life I could walk or cycle to the university/work, so I gained some free exercise time.

Good luck for you. Here in Munich, I have multiple colleagues who commute 1.5h single direction, I myself (since I can't afford rent in that fucking city, so gotta commute in from Landshut) have anything from 1 to 3 hours one way depending on how shitty the train service is on that day.

> - 1 hour overtime daily? What for?

I work in the creative industry. Thankfully we are a unionized shop which means we're not affected by that problem too much - but virtually everyone I know from other agencies that are not unionized is working easily 50 hour weeks. Every company in the industry has decimated staffing, much more than the incoming work fell, so everyone is working extra to not be the next whose head rolls.

> - Lunch outside of work? (This is where my additional hour came from) Thankfully this never happened to me in my actual career.

Germany has a mandatory 30 minute break by law during the day, in practice it's more like 45-60 minutes.

> Rather than fitting into clear-cut genetic clusters based on self-reported racial or ethnic labels, most participants’ genomes revealed different gradients of ancestry spanning continents, the team reports today.

I assume this refers to figure 7 of the study [1]. Figure 7C shows 63/124,341 self-identified Whites had predicted African ancestry from their genome, 45,206/45,761 Blacks, and 19/7,419 Asians.

Figure 7D shows predicted European ancestry, which was 120,127/124,341 for Whites, 110/45,761, and 39/7,419 for Asians. This seems like remarkably good correspondence to me?

> Race, ethnicity don’t match genetic ancestry

The title is missing "self-reported" at the start. Without that, the article isn't even self-consistent - "race is meaningless, it does not perfectly match genetic ancestry from historical geographical groups"? You haven't done away with race, you just renamed it to "African ancestry", "European ancestry", "Asian ancestry", etc.., and found that they have somewhat intermixed in the US. But it has been known since literally ancient Greece that races can intermix, and that their variation is geographically gradual, so the study hasn't discovered or disproven anything new.

It's amusing to contrast this with science's findings on non-human animals: there are 16 subspecies of brown bear, 38 subspecies of wolf, 46 subspecies of red fox, 9 subspecies of tiger, and 12 subspecies of house sparrow.

That's pretty much what my therapist said when I first expressed this to him, so you're in good company there.

I thought about this more on my commute home from work, and I'm starting to suspect that "SDAM" might essentially be the long-term effects of alexithymia or interoceptive blind spots, which are fairly common in neurodivergent people with ADHD, autism, or both.

For context, alexithymia is a significant difficulty in recognizing, sourcing, and describing one's own emotions. Interoception is the sense of your internal bodily state.

You can likely relate to being so deep in a flow state that you don't notice how badly you need to use the restroom, or how hungry you are, until the feeling becomes so overwhelming it finally breaks through your focus. That's an interoceptive blind spot in action.

So, to further elaborate on my theory: If alexithymia raises the required signal strength for an emotion to be consciously recognized as significant, our brains - which strive for efficiency - will only tag and store memories that cross that unusually high threshold of "important." All the "little things," even the nice ones, get dropped because they never registered with enough emotional weight at the moment they happened.

The brain prioritizes emotionally significant information for memory storage. If an event doesn't trigger a sufficiently strong or clearly identifiable emotional response at the moment it occurs - because your baseline emotional processing is affected - it might get stored as just factual information rather than a rich, emotionally resonant autobiographical memory. It becomes "a thing that happened" rather than an "experience I had that affected me emotionally."

This explains my memory pattern perfectly: I remember most big family holidays - Christmas, birthdays, weddings - because those come with heightened emotional anticipation and distinct social components. But I'm already struggling to piece together what we did on Easter this year, and have absolutely no idea what we did last year. The quieter, more routine positive events apparently don't meet that higher "emotional importance" threshold for deep encoding.

It's like having a filter that's calibrated too conservatively - it's protecting you from information overload. Perhaps that's why it's so common in neurodivergent people, both ADHD and autism heavily affect how we take in and process external sensations. If there's any positive spin to this theory, that I will agree with you, makes sense in a not good way, it might be that. But, unfortunately, it's also discarding experiences that others would naturally encode as meaningful memories.

> 4-7-8 Breathing The 4-7-8 technique involves inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, and exhaling for 8. This pattern is repeated several times. Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, it helps reduce anxiety, manage stress, and promote better sleep by triggering your body's natural relaxation response and slowing your heart rate.

For those who have a scientific interest in breathwork, I suggest James Nestor's _Breath_. It goes into the biological aspects with a minimum amount of woo. And for those who want a crash course, I recommend getting a getting a pulse oximeter or other real time heart rate tracker and experimenting with various breathing patterns (Google [box breathing], [resonance breathing], etc) to watch your heart rate change. It was one of the first biofeedback experiments I did and still an impressive demo of the power of breathwork to this day.

> There is no reality where I will accept that…

Welcome to the club

> if I create something. I spend and risk my money on web hosting. I write the code...

You can create a forum in 20 minutes, it’s all open source and I did that when I was 14

All the ‘risk’ and ‘writing code’ is about fighting other platforms for attention, not providing a consumer good.

> ultimatum… in order to extract value from them that you did not earn

I am the consumer, the market exists for me and I pay for the whole party. If a business that harms customers is called a crime syndicate.

You might see this ultimatum in other areas too, like “you can’t sell baby food with lead in it, or you go to prison”

I think the ideal would be something like a Xilinx offering, tailoring the CPU- regarding cache, parallelism and in hardware execution of hotloop components, depending on the task.

Your CPU changes with every app, tab and program you open. Changing from one core, to n-core plus AI-GPU and back. This idea, that you have to write it all in stone, always seemed wild to me.

I have a question that I hope is not misinterpreted, as I'm asking purely out of a desire to learn. I am new to distributed systems and fascinated by deterministic simulation testing.

After reading the Jepsen report on TigerBeetle, the related blog post, and briefly reviewing the Antithesis integration code on GitHub workflow, I'm trying to better understand the testing scope.

My core question is: could these bugs detected by the Jepsen test suite have also been found by the Antithesis integration?

This question comes from a few assumptions I made, which may be incorrect:

- I thought TigerBeetle was already comprehensively tested by its internal test suite and the Antithesis product.

- I had the impression that the Antithesis test suite was more robust than Jepsen's, so I was surprised that Jepsen found an issue that Antithesis apparently did not.

I'm wondering if my understanding is flawed. For instance:

1. Was the Antithesis test suite not fully capable of detecting this specific class of bug?

2. Was this particular part of the system not yet covered by the Antithesis tests?

3. Am I fundamentally comparing apples and oranges, misunderstanding the different strengths and goals of the Jepsen and Antithesis testing suites?

I would greatly appreciate any insights that could help me understand this better. I want to be clear that my goal is to educate myself on these topics, not to make incorrect assumptions or assign responsibility.

The CRT effect is immediately what stood out to me as well. It's the first time I've ever looked at a "CRT filter" that really gave my eyes the sensation of looking at a real CRT, specifically Amiga. It's so good that I would compel the author to share it with Amiga emulator developers to see if there's any chance of it being implemented. Maybe except for the line that occasionally travels from bottom to top, that's more reminiscent to me of a camera artifact and not something I experience with my eyes on Amiga monitors.

There has never ever ever been a time where you could disseminate your idea to more than about a hundred people for free.

The vast vast vast majority of the good ideas disseminated to the public in human history required someone to go pay a printing press operator to print them hundreds and hundreds of pamphlets.

This is literally how the American revolution happened. Not by requiring existing newspapers to carry opinions they didn't have (though some newspapers were literally owned by friends or people sympathetic to revolution and carried the message).

It's perfectly fine that you have to pay someone to carry your message or print pamphlets. That was always the intent of free markets and free speech together. It wasn't that anyone would be forced to carry your message (which is why the first amendment is extremely clear that you also have a right of association and can therefore not be forced or compelled to carry speech you do not want to), it was always that someone surely would be willing to make a quick buck to cater to your speech, no matter how fringe.

And it's entirely correct. Nobody at any point was unaware that Sweden had a different approach, and there was lively debate about it from day one, primarily about how "just trust people to stay home when they are sick" literally doesn't work here in the US.

It doesn't matter that Youtube took some of that discussion down, because it happened everywhere else too. Youtube is NOT your property.

Youtube cannot prevent you from talking about anything to your family.

This seems a little gloomy

In the UK at least, researchers have many options for research fellowships of 3-5 years, paid, many with total academic freedom to do whatever you like

My partner just got accepted to one after spending 3 months applying to 5 fellowships — an 8% ratio of application:research time.

In an Oxford or Cambridge college, you're working, eating and (for younger fellows) living in college with many other smart people. Sounds like a lot of cross-pollination of ideas happens there.

> generating DTMF tones yourself and injecting them into the audio stream?

When I was an undergrad I had an audio file for each digit and a winamp playlist for each of my frequently dialed numbers. I'd hold my (landline) phone against the computer speakers and double-click the playlist to dial. I'm sure I spent more time setting this up than it ever saved, but it was somehow pleasing that this ridiculously over-powered speed dialer worked.

It's not surprising news. It's obvious news. When I was making those claims, I hadn't tested it: I was making purely theoretical arguments, based on having glanced at the relevant papers in the GPT-2 days.

That GPT models are bad at translation, and will always be bad at translation (while, perhaps, "improving" where they're overfit on specific benchmarks), is obvious to anyone with even a cursory understanding of how they work.
