Fish oil for many years was one of the most well substantiated supplements. Then it came out that only people with the right genetics benefit from it, particularly the Inuit who participated in the fish oil studies. So now I've thrown my hands up and am trying to eat what I think is a reasonable, "balanced" diet while hoping for the best.
Yes, it seems like Control 4 was the root of his problem. My architect aunt always builds homes with similar expensive and locked-in systems and although they do seem to last reliably for years they're 10's of thousands of dollars and locked into a certain set of functionality and hardware. But there are alternatives now.

My $50 Wink hub runs my apartment's 5x $30 z-wave dimmers, 1x $25 front door sensor, and 1x $75 z-wave thermostat and 1x $15 cree xbee LED bulb I cannibalized to drive some low voltage LED fairy lights. That's $315, ordered piecemeal and all delivered amazon prime. It's been rock-solid reliable for about two years. I recently added Amazon Alexa voice control and used the open source 'HomeBridge' node project to add Siri integration (which ROCKS).

There are inexpensive connected-home systems now. Spend an afternoon wiring one up!
At that point they're just cashing out bitcoins. And while I think that should be illegal (bitcoins can a priori be reasonably assumed to be the proceeds of either a) crime or b) "mining" i.e. being paid to run a network that's used primarily for crime, because those are the only use cases that makes sense), currently it doesn't seem to be seen that way.

Is propaganda or "fake news" or misinformation, "interference"? Isn't that the same tactics the US political parties use every season? China, France, and any other country (not counting strangers like N.Korea) have these channels and we expect to be able to communicate with any other country the same way. Isn't this just federal infowars at this point?
This post got a lot of user flags (it currently appears as [flagged]) and was also penalized by the software flamewar detector. It wasn't touched by moderators.
I was told by my parents (GPs) that you have to try pretty damn hard to truly OD on vitamin D though - basically chronically overdose; a one-time peak-intake doesn't do much, since the amount of vitamin D we produce on a sunny day is orders of magnitudes more than the maximum amounts advised the boxes.

Does your wife agree? I'm always open to a second opinion.
> We know vegetables are good for you.

I don't think we know this. We know that we can live complete, healthy lives on them, but we know that about meat and carbs, too. I'm happy that people are experimenting in an extreme way; that's the best way for me to learn from their experiences what works and what doesn't.
From the article..

> Nonetheless, Finagle still solved a huge problem for us as we now have real data dependencies and a more efficient execution engine. We gradually converted the Blender workflow code from batch style to Future style in 2013. It ran faster, the code became less error-prone but the readability was still not perfect. It was hard to follow, a pain to debug, tricky to test, and there were lots of duplicate function names.

from the git repo for Node...

> However, this library was written in Scala and isn't exactly Java friendly. It naturally involves a lot of callbacks and repeated function signatures. When it comes to waiting on multiple Futures, the code gets ugly very fast. Nodes is a Java library that aims to solve these problems, making the asynchronous code easier to read, to maintain and to test in Java.

what are they suggesting ? use Finagle for Scala and Nodes for java based projects?
Hard to believe. We have fortified foods and it should be rather hard to catch a nutrition deficiency, even if your diet solely consists of cheeseburgers (This probably differs from country to country).

Vitamin D can be found in Fish, Egg and it's even added to Milk.

It all makes sense, however i don't like metaphors that compare people with opinions to pests (insects don't have opinions afaik), a metaphor like this is dehumanizing your opponents - it is a very bad metaphor.
How did you come to discover that B12 deficiency?

I'd recommend starting with Theano, Tensorflow, anything python. I do like Torch's raw speed on CUDA though.
That's not generosity that's control. They kept maintaining 2.7 because they knew if they didn't someone would definitely have done exactly this.

They are only trying to run out the clock on other people's interest- an effort to kill Python2 so it doesn't evolve.

You would publish that because there's a vast industry that sells and advertises vitamins? The publication bias leans vastly in the opposite direction than you're intuiting here.
It's not going to compare well. The assembly is a pretty simple port of a basic C implementation of radix 2 Cooley-Tukey FFTs. The author gets ~2x speedup from writing this in assembly.

In contrast, highly optimized FFT implementations that use higher radix transforms and other FFT algorithm optimizations, along with SIMD and good C (not necessarily assembly) will get speedups of 10-40x over basic C implementations with a radix 2 implementation: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.153... (Implementing FFTs in practice by Frigo and Johnson, of FFTW)

FWIW, it is possible to significantly beat FFTW, if you highly optimize for particular cases: https://github.com/halide/Halide/pull/977. I don't have data handy, but I've seen similar results comparing against IPP.
I'm a huge fan of taking pharmaceutical shortcuts, but a small amount of daily sunlight gives you much more than a vitamin D tablet. There are benefits in mood, sleep, and eyesight. Plus the many fun things that can be done outside alone or with friends.

I used to think that going outside (and exercise in general) was something I had to "make time for" and spend energy on. These days I realise that going outside actually boosts energy. I work to live, not live to work.
You are conflating having a deficiency with supplementation despite having no deficiency.

If you have a deficiency, yes, you need to take more of that particular vitamin. But the evidence is against people without a deficiency taking a general purpose vitamin. A good pointer to recent studies: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/more-evidence-that-routine-...
I was not addressing the audience in general, but the user whose comment I was referring too, specifically this statement:

Now maybe I misunderstood the poster, but that does sound pretty much like what I was talking about... If you felt patronized, my apologies, but my remark was not aimed at you.
The best ISP an hour from Austin still advertises that they are ten times faster than dialup.
That's a nice long life, but not any longer than plenty of people I know.
The publication bias would go in the other direction. A drug company showing the effectiveness of vitamin pills would publish that research to help them sell more vitamin pills; A drug company finding vitamin pills to be ineffective would be incentivised to not publish the research.

Further more, we're not talking about just one study here against a sea of studies in favour of vitamin supplements. Free radical theory has been shown to be effective in a petridish, but it has a neutral or negative effect in most large scale human studies.
For me, it's people thinking that everything needs to be solved by technology...

And startups... how I HATE startups and every idiot in them and every snot-brain trying to create one.

How about living life without looking at it like it needs solving?

How about enjoying life for a change, without wanting money in exchange for everything?

> On the other hand, I'm sure that it is good to take small doses of many different vitamins in addition to well-balanced diet.

The evidence seems to say otherwise. There have been many studies over the past decade of general vitamin supplementation, and it does not hold up: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/more-evidence-that-routine-...
Was in the 99.9 percentile as a child and enjoyed gifted classes until high school where I was exceptionally bored and hardly applied myself. I ended up at a lower-ranked state university where I am able to try a little harder (thanks STEM), though it still doesn't feel rewarding being so far ahead of your classmates. Fortunately, my campus life is much more social than my more ambitious hs friends' campuses, although I do often feel intellectually alienated.

I really have to thank HN for providing a stimulating community. The high-quality resources and discussions here have made my life much more pleasant; as a community you've improved my outlook drastically. Thanks.

Sure that was a Moto G? The 2nd Gen Moto G was sold even at the end of its lifetime for 200$.
This is roughly what happened with several "exploit droppers" a few years ago. It wasn't pretty GitHub sites or open source blogs, but rather "leaked" versions of the software suites, missing nearly all of the actual exploits. Usually there'd be a couple of very old, widely patched exploits in there so you could see how it worked. People would download the stripped out version, play with it, then buy the actual exploit payloads/plugins.

Pretty interesting process to watch from the sidelines!
So the simplest way to avoid getting exploited is to always run wireshark?

Sounds better than an out of date AV solution!

(and cheaper)
I know. However if you have lots of devices it will be quite some pain in the ass to unpair them from one hub, add them to another and recreate all the rules.

And of course there's always the possibility that the new hub doesn't support the same protocols then the old one. Or maybe it does, but there are some incompatibilities within device support and some of your devices won't work anymore.

My doctor told me to take Vit E due to some bad liver numbers. Two months later the numbers were significantly closer to normal, so it seems like Vit E supplements are doing something for me...
Kudos for Imzy but unfortunately (imo) these kind of initiatives are accompanied by attacks to websites that don't further restrict their users speech in a manner that is more savory for the media or politicians in question.

These discussions about free speech always remind me of an event of the movie Amistad, which I will surmise very briefly:

A number of people are sold into slavery, and in attempting to free themselves they kill their captors, being imprisoned and put to trial shortly after.

The movie raises some very interesting questions (and the story it is based on many more I bet), but what I find relevant here is that one person may say that homicide is the ultimate crime, and the next that freedom is, instead. One may argue that since the law of the land allowed for slavery, supported by the majority of the population, it then supplanted their right for freedom.

I think the moral of the event was that the slaves rights were inalienable. They were not to be given or taken away. Freedom of speech can also not be legislated upon, you can ban people but they will just move on to exercise it some other place or way. And freedom to insult or berate or "troll" is still speech, it conveys meaning, it cannot be stopped from human spirit no matter how much the majority deem it bad taste.

If the mushrooms are older you can sometimes see the spores before seeing the actual mushroom. This obviously happens with puffballs, but I've also seen it with Honey Mushrooms and Maitake.

These are really bad for you to breathe in though, so if you see this happening then definitely go in the other direction.
>My view on this is increasingly that software should be forced to be open-source and modifiable by the (individual) user. But it should not allow the user to run the code without the developer/owner authorization.

How can you stop someone from running code they have access to? If I write a new program but use routines from yours, who is the "developer/owner"? I can't picture this scheme.
That same small amount of sunshine also raises the risk for melanomas and skin cancer. Vitamin D supplementation makes sense.
The point of whole 30 is to eliminate everything and see how you feel. After 30 days you add things back in one by one. Think of it as an experimental control.
FFTW is one of the seminal examples of the importance of cache awareness, if I remember my history correctly. As I understand it, the reason the fftw authors (Matteo Frigo and Steven G. Johnson) won the Wilkinson prize was essentially because fftw exemplified the importance of cache-aware algorithms, as opposed to blindly optimizing number of operations.

I don't know, but I would guess that intel's implementation post-dates fftw?

This is great news! I did a PoC for a document search system for discovery, OCR and full-text search. We deemed it too hard of a sell for law firms. Maybe the landscape is changing.
Wow that's interesting, how did they find "The Thing"?
Probably a massive difference. The generic X86 IPP implementation of 1 dimensional FFT is around 8x faster than the naive FFT variants I've tried. Intel also claims an effective 5.5x improvement over that when targeting AVX2 (so Haswell and later). Essentially, a 40x is not unusual.

When it comes to insanely optimized code, most of Intel's libraries (MKL, VSL, IPP, DAAL) are hard to beat.
> This is the Fox News "fair and balanced" model -- if you give equal time to both viewpoints, even if one viewpoint is nuts, people will assume that there's a rational debate being had.

I don't think this a good citation for the point you're trying to make. The problem is the concept of "both viewpoints" rather than many viewpoints, and that they get extremely irrational people to debate against slightly irrational people, and the viewers think that's the entire range of discourse and they have to choose somewhere within that continuum to fall themselves. (Usually right smack in the middle based on the average person's trust in the "law of averages.")

The problem with Fox is a narrowing of opinions to a range acceptable by management, not any diversity of ideas.
It was a joke. Look at my handle.
Altruism’s Bloody Roots
Well, Android isn't "just Linux", if that were the case it wouldn't be able to run any Android apps.

Anyway, it's my understanding that Android uses custom heap size limits to help keep things running smoothly. This combined with efficient garbage collection makes for a generally smooth user experience on a constrained device like a phone or tablet. Android will cache, and later kill, processes that aren't being used, to free up memory for active processes. Memory may be a finite resource, but not in the way you described; it's not permanently used up and can always be freed for foreground tasks.
I was going to add a note similar to others here, that many people have a vitamin deficiency. It would help for those particular deficiencies and have a very little chance of harm for the other vitamins.

As for most things, it's all about the dosage.

But thanks for the link, I'll read that too.
Human Rights: What Are the Boundaries? (2013)
That was a historical photograph, not "hate speech or bullying". Also, how can you say "eradicating hate speech and bullying can also end up getting rid of speech with valid political dimensions" with a straight face?
I'm also curious about this one — I always found Scala to be a pretty messy language to write (the code starts elegant, but gets convoluted pretty fast), but I'd love to hear how insiders are thinking about it.
The "simple promises" from JS are (somewhat crippled) copies of Futures from other languages. In Scala the results of those futures can be produced at the same time, even if they are purely computational as Scala and most other languages are both asynchronous AND concurrent.
Yep, I got it from Consumer Cellular back when I used their service, their regular price was $150 but I got it on a promo for $100. That's without a contract, in fact I called and had them carrier-unlock it for me a few weeks after I bought it.

The library they referenced (Finagle) does pretty much just that. A few things that leapt out at me:

- It's hard to figure out what the dependency graph looks like just from promises

- That pattern is verbose and results in gross types when you do it in Java

- With this library, you can easily profile parts of the algorithm to see what's going slow, what's taking a bunch of memory, etc.
Quite a false equivalence you built up there friendo. :)

I don't agree with his approach for a few reasons:

1) The 145 cutoff seems arbitrary. A kid at 135 doesn't get help? Plus constantly speaking about a number feels a little uncomfortable on the side of elitism.

2) Poverty is not mentioned as a problem to address. Roughly there are 40,000 people in the US this smart - living below the poverty line. Can you imagine the boost if they all hit potential?

3) And crime? We've got thousands of criminals with an IQ >= 145. And as De Niro said, they're not doin' thrill-seeker liquor store holdups with a "Born to Lose" tattoo on their chest.

4) All the assumptions could be wrong. I was in this group, and barely made it out of high school, failed out of college a couple of times. But the problem wasn't school, my teachers were mostly nice. I had learned poor homework discipline combined with having a severe fear of failure.

Point is when people don't meet potential, there are a dizzying number of reasons, each with their own twists. How do you know which?

There are paid alternatives that are also superior to Google's ones. Fastmail works a lot better than GMail, even if you have to pay for it.

I must have been doing something wrong then... Elementary school was exactly where the subtleties of human conflict first appeared to me.

In a simplified model, a legitimate set of actors for a legitimate product would be

a. publisher
b. affiliate network
c. person selling a product

You are saying that the affiliate network would block the publishers for distributing malware. Yes, that's true. But what is stopping someone from creating another affiliate network? That would replace the actors with the following:

a. malware distributor
b. illicit affiliate network
c. malware publisher selling key

In this case, the "product" is the key to decrypt the files. The network could be anyone. It could even be the same person who wrote the malware.
My point is that the way the universe works, i.e. spacetime expansion, inflation and acceleration (dark energy) could all be governed by processes inside a black hole's singularity - something we afaik don't have a good model yet. It's only a black hole from the reference point of the parent universe. I don't mean the old bounce model, more like bubbles around a water hose that get smaller the farther away from the source - i.e a stellar black hole creates a mini universe through its own spacetime rip.
