> Other than gastric bypass, all methods of weight loss have like a 2% success rate over the long term.

That's not at all correct. Success rates of weight loss by dieting are around 20%. That's still low, but you have to ask yourself: is it because people really can't control their diet long term, or is it because the majority of the population prefers the self serving narative of obesity genes and viruses, addiction engineered by the food industry, "the calorie myth", the intractable failure of willpower over body impulse, and so on? Because that sounds a lot like a self fulfilling prophecy.

Mind you, I'm grossly overweight (peak BMI 34, current 30), and I know full well the power of my body for mind control. A skinny person can't even imagine the fight every chubby faces on a daily basis. Yet, due to wining most battles, I've managed to lose some and not turn into the 500 Kg monster by body "demands" - I could easily eat 4-5000 calories on a daily basis, to great satisfaction.
My automation tools are slowly migrating towards a proper PKI set up that supports ACME, self signed certs and external certs (vendor signed certs from anywhere).

I first saw this strategy used in the DebOps project's PKI Ansible role at https://docs.debops.org/en/latest/ansible/roles/debops.pki/.

Basically if LE goes down, all I have to do is make 1 line of YAML changes, run an Ansible script and my servers are secured by a different provider's certificate.
i have to keep repeating this: so what about that overeating protein? and what about your ketoacidosis fud? will you concede you were wrong?

yep, keto can be like this. no buzzwords, gurus, courses or books, just basic scientific facts about body metabolism.

Conclusions: The KD is a safe and effective alternative therapy for intractable childhood epilepsy in Korea, although the customary diet contains substantially less fat than traditional Western diets, but life-threatening complications should be monitored closely during follow-up.

do you spot the similarities? all those are reports about patients with epilepsy/seizures. some had complications. for most KD was effective in reducing seizures.

making any implications from that data about effects on healthy individuals is ridiculous FUD.
To the contrary, one of the most frustrating things for me about AMP is Google's contributions to "the slow web".

They're not in any way the cause, not even a majority contributor, but look at Google's influence on frontend web development, from providing drop-in-with-zero-thought script CDN links, popularising the @font-face standard through their Web Fonts service to the point of its use being expected and non-optional in many web design teams, Google's terrible Page Speed tool favouring large complex pages over small simple ones, and the general cavalier "hey just paste this snippet of JS into your HTML, don't worry about what it does" attitude that things like GA have helped to make the norm.

One of the disadvantages of having round-abouts everywhere is that they aren't as well marked as they are in the states.

In my area, they finally started putting these in where we used to have four-way stops and the traffic flow is much better. However, people in the states are utterly baffled by them since we don't encounter them regularly. So there's usually a sign almost a half-mile back explaining what lane you need to be in depending on where you're trying to get ... and then another two signs, along with painting on the street, to tell you again as you approach.
But wouldn't aging be exactly that damage accumulation?

Boardgames are an excellent gateway drug into friendships. Some people you already know or meet love to play them once you get your initial party together, get enthusiastic about them, invite other people they know and before you know it you have a thriving community of people around you.

All that for not more than US$200 in games annually which is way less I spend in beer and much more effective. And boardgamers tend to be (but not exclusively are) on the geekier side of life so I have an easier connection to most people, shared interests or people do things that I think are really cool but never did etcetera.
The link you posted explicitly says Though these trends weren’t statistically significant, I am mentioning them because they were unexpected and definitely something to watch for as we collect more data.

Yeah, I had some leadership training last year that involved multiple personality tests. I'm absolutely an extrovert. It wasn't even an "on the fence" kind of result.

I'm not an expert on psychological motivations, so I can't speak to the feelings or motivations of others, just myself.

Most of the time these results are things I find during introspection after social events are over. I can spend 4 hours in a social situation and be one of the drivers that keeps things going. It's later, when I'm alone and meditating, that I discover just how exhausted I was.

Preparing for Malicious Uses of AI
The steam engine was invented to remove water from coal mines, which was extracting coal to be used for heat. It was pretty darned new at that time, because the first versions operated by pulling a vacuum and experiments on strong partial vacuums had only just really begun not more than 100 years before then within English intellectual circles. It took quite some time and monumental efficient improvements after that for people to start employing coal-fired steam engines for tasks other than improving the production of coal itself.

You are exactly right that an entire network has to be solved together to open up space. This was also the case for the early industrial revolution. Because of this catch 22, right now we essentially have "space for space's sake".

That's also why space development will follow the pattern of a tipping point. As the pre-requisites aren't really there, investors don't have a good option to pour money into the venture. Once those building blocks start to get filled out, options open up, investment comes in, the building blocks themselves get cheaper, and things will progress faster than what people have imagined.

Humans have had, in total, a pitifully scant amount of interaction with extraterrestrial resources. Micro-gravity manufacturing isn't a thing yet, and we don't have the practical knowledge of how that will work. But the first step is lowering launch costs...
Hmm... you might be right there. I thought packages would be simpler (and I know basecamp charges a flat $99 - I'd be afraid of large enterprises coming along and placing more than $99 worth of infrastructure costs on me).

I know Jira, for example, has a low rate package for the first 10 users (basically like a paid trial), and then the pricing switches to per-user and it ramps up quickly.
Thanks for the feedback. I will mention YAML in the language description. Code reuse in YAML is limited to just simple reference. In Syntactik, you can define parameters inside an alias. It makes code reuse in Syntactik much more useful.
Gyft appears to me to be a legit business (I only had a short look at their website). Buying gift cards at regular prices and then selling them with a small markup while providing anonymity for your customers seems plausible.
> I am so far beyond mind game stuff being able to help...I need Maslows bottom rungs stabilized before I can do the rest...people always expect you to do it backwards.

Oh yeah, I definitely appreciate that self-actualisation can't happen without the lower tiers being stabilised. That's not what I'm saying; all I'm suggesting is that mindset counts for a lot. I'll going to try be delicate about this because I don't want to come off as victim-blaming: I completely understand that the circumstance you're in isn't your fault, and the right mindset won't make opportunities for getting out of your situation magically appear. But the wrong mindset can without a doubt blind you to legitimate opportunities that might exist. This is why I recommend working on it.

As a rather concrete example: -- going to have to redact some details here for confidentiality reasons -- I recently hired someone for part-time work, whose situation resembles yours in a number of respects, including long-term unemployment. I was not able to pay for full-time work or at market rates, but our new employee is still earning a meaningful multiple of what they were getting on benefits, so it's a solid step up. I can see how the role they've taken might, at some companies, be tedious -- but the way we do things, it's an intellectually stimulating, self-directed, remote-work, set-your-own-hours-and-pace sort of job. So far this new employee is loving it. I have high hopes that it'll help them get that bottom tier of the pyramid firmed up.

In fact it's a job that I'm absolutely certain you would have the ability to do, and would even enjoy -- but the superficial job description is one that I've already seen you explicitly rule out as "soul killing". And probably at 90% of companies, you'd be right. At the other 10%, you'd be wrong. But that all-important 10% won't be available to you if you block yourself from seeing it.

In order for any opportunities to be available to you, they must both objectively exist and be subjectively perceived by you. For the former: yes, I have no doubt that such opportunities are few and far between, but given your obvious intellectual abilities, I know that they exist. I have more concerns for the latter, hence my recommendation that you interrogate your assumptions and your perceptions.

Anyhow, I've banged on about this enough, and hope you take my criticism in the constructive spirit it is intended! I would sincerely like to see things work out for you.

I think it's less of a gray area than that. Anyone at Uber who worked on Greyball, perhaps telling themselves that they were thwarting an oppressive government who was firmly in the pocket of the taxi lobby, was naïve at best and deceiving themselves at worst. Maybe some people got caught up in the cat-and-mouse game of evading authorities and failed to question whether what they were doing was "Good." That's the author's call to action in this piece: to remind us to step back and evaluate what we are doing in an ethical context.

Things seem less gray for the author's second example- developers at Palantir designing a workflow to help ICE round up immigrants. Of course there is room for counter-points in an argument about how best to handle an immigration crisis in any country (I say "crisis" because I see it as a crisis that we are doing so little to help) but at the end of the day, our individual actions need to be made on the basis of an single ethical black-or-white question, and history and indeed the present will not look favorably upon those who fail to act in the best interest of their fellow humans.
Maybe it's time to reopen the cobalt mines close by here [1].

I don't know the correct terms here, but there is a path from your throat to your ears that is normally closed. When you swallow or yawn the paths usually open, but some people can voluntarily open them.

It's clearer if you're wearing for example hearing protection, and open your mouth and the paths.
Author of the blog post here. This is a great overview of internal categories and profunctors.

A couple comments
1. I would say the primary application is to proving that certain casts (function cast, etc.) are the primary result of the paper. We basically showed that graduality + extensionality determines almost all of the behavior of casts.
2. Exception handling for type errors is actually in direct conflict with graduality. The reason is that the type error is the least element and every term has to be monotone with respect to the type error, so if you catch a type error, to be monotone you have to show that the result you produce is less dynamic than the result you would have produced if there was no exception. This means that if you want to catch type errors you need to have a fancy catch form, or you need to do it at an "extra-linguistic" level, or you can use modal types (think monads) to say that catching a type error is a "reflective" operation and so any code that does it is uses the reflection modality.

Also as a side-note, in my opinion profunctors are an essential component of category theory, and it's really a shame that in intro courses we explain everything in terms of adjunctions, limits, presheaves, etc when profunctors are ultimately simpler. They are unavoidable when you do enriched/internal category theory and they are more directly useful in designing type theories than adjunctions.

Marketing for Lifestyle Business – Technical Marketing for 4 Hour Work Week
ICOs are just a marketing tool to concentrate attention and perpetuate the hype machine - supporting the structure of an ICO doesn't make the structure of these crypto-assets not a Ponzi-Pyramid scheme.

Of course, people still murder other people even though it's illegal - however we put mechanisms as best we can to counteract what we feel isn't good for society, e.g. traditional Ponzi schemes ... which should have the incentivized structure of Bitcoin, Ethereum's Ether et al added to that same illegal status - if they even pass current laws, which there is some doubt to.
Well, you know, peel away enough layers of abstraction and everything is "just physics."
of course, and ethics and politics can not only be radical or common for their time but with the shifting of the overton window, historically radical or common views can switch places (consider the radicality of being a monarchist now, or a modern liberal in 1400AD).
Once use case is if you're running a multi-tenant service, where customers can deploy their own docker containers. In terms of developer usability, it's way easier to have them push containers to a registry than it is to ask them to package a custom ISO for upload into a VM. To your customers, it appears you are just running docker, but on the backend you isolate each container in a VM for OS-level security isolation.

Where exactly does he discuss that? His entire point seems to be that aging is inevitable:

> The constant risk is environmental (accidents, infectious disease), but much of the exponentially increasing risk is due to internal wear.

... but as examples of negligible senescence show, that is simply not the case. This "exponentially increasing risk" is just not a given.
Unless I'm missing something this doesn't really seem to launder the money. Sure you have converted bitcoin to cash but the cash still doesn't look like legitimate income if you don't sell the books under your own name (which they clearly don't).

> "If this interpretation of the data is correct, then aging is a natural process that can be reduced to nanoscale thermal physics—and not a disease. " (my italics).

To me this is the main problem with this article. The (ever more common) notion that aging is a disease should be combated with philosophical arguments, not shaky physics such.
You're skipping over the main point of the article, which is that the reason it's hard to increase the clockrate is because it is dependent on the slowest instruction that can be done in one tick.

And the main method of making an instruction faster is by splitting it, but all instructions have now already been split as much as is possible, while still having them operate correctly.
Thanks! I think 30-70 visits per day without paying for them is quite a lot after six weeks. I'm in a similar situation, working a day job while trying to get something off the ground. Right now I'm just experimenting with ideas and trying to learn as much as possible.

I think paid ads is a pretty good approach to validate the product and copy, even if it's not a viable strategy in the long run.

while I agree with you, you have to remember that the current administration and many of their supporters support ICE's actions. What you're arguing for is that the actions of Uber or Palantir's designers are against your personal ethics, or those of the wider movement you identify with.

Polish people tend to have very low knowledge about any form of investing. First of all it is economically unavailable to at least ~50% of our citizens, earning dominant income of ~6400 USD per year. People with serious investing skills and knowledge are a bunch within top few percent of highest-earning citizens. I work as a programmer in software company. Many of my high-earning colleagues "invest" in Bitcoin because it's hot, while they know next to nothing about investing, markets etc. So I would agree that informational campaign is generally a good idea, learning a lesson from our history with CHF mortgages and scams like AmberGold.
