And even then, it's a stretch. All the big economies (the US first and foremost) grew to what they are by using tons of subsidies, tariffs and so on. And even now they use non-economic advantages (diplomatic and military pressure for one) to maintain their status.

How did societies in northern regions historically get enough vitamin D? Yes they would have spend more time outdoors than we do now, but they’d also be mostly covered to keep themselves warm, so even on a rare day when it’s sunny they wouldn’t get much exposure.

What a great book!

I had a question about the section "A Freestanding Rust Binary" specifically the the "start attribute" section. The author states:

"The ! return type means that the function is diverging, i.e. not allowed to ever return. This is required because the entry point is not called by any function, but invoked directly by the operating system or bootloader. So instead of returning, the entry point should e.g. invoke the exit system call of the operating system."

Is this explicitly "diverging" marking a Rust specific bit of housekeeping?
For instance I wasn't aware of any parallel in the C runtime but maybe someone could shed some light on this?

This reminds me of the Challenger explosion. I’m certain I watched it live in elementary school and when it blew up my teachers had to deal with a bunch of crying 2nd graders. I’ve read, however that it is highly improbable for that to have occurred due to the launch being tape delayed and CNN being the only station to carry it live. I have enough memories of my classmates crying and the teachers trying to figure out what to say that I’m convinced I saw it. It’s likely the same scenario happened as mentioned in this article.
According to the study in the other HN link here, they made an error in calculating how much Vitamin D you need.

The medical community also seems to think that 20 ng/ml is when the deficiency starts, when in reality it's more like 40. Some studies have shown that you can see benefits upwards of 60 ng/ml. Other research has shown that Vitamin D helps with sleep in the 60-80 ng/ml range.

I've seen many people on Reddit say that their blood tests level came out at 5-10. That's crazy. Get your 25(OH)D level checked.

Some of the studies that have shown "no improvement" from Vitamin D saw that result mainly because they were still prescribing far too little Vitamin D (yet still higher than the RDA).

10,000 IU may be necessary just to maintain your level. However, you also have to keep in mind that you won't be getting D only from the supplement, so throughout the year you should actually increase your Vitamin D level as you get more sun exposure. Meanwhile the 10,000 IU (which by the way is "only" 250 micrograms) will maintain those high levels. Then, in the second year, you may further increase your Vitamin D level as you once again get more exposure in the sunny days. So you should check your Vitamin D at least after a year, to ensure your levels aren't too high. After you're stabilized you should need around 5,000-7000 IU, but it's really dependent on each person's needs, so you'll have to figure out on your own through trial and error.

However, you also need to keep in mind that not everyone uses Vitamin D as efficiently. You may have undiscovered gallbladder issues for instance, or your gut bacteria is not well balanced, or your stomach doesn't have enough acid, or you're not taking Vitamin D with enough fat, and all of these factors which could impact how easily you're absorbing Vitamin D.

This is part of the reason why the FDA can't just recommend "everyone should take 10,000 IU". Plus, people of color need much more Vitamin D, so if the FDA recommends everyone 2,000 IU as a higher minimum, that may still not be enough for them.

The attacks that scale are unlikely to involve fooling the object detection pipeline by manipulating its input (because you need to physically modify the environment to do that), but rather something like compromising the firmware update servers, stealing the signing key and pushing a remote killswitch.

So the weak point in this case isn't the fragility of machine learning against adversarial inputs, but old-fashioned network security.

Even before, likely everyone was deficient in Vitamin D during winter. You "charge up" in the summer, but then you start dropping below the beneficial levels long before the sunny spring starts again. It's part of the reason people get sicker in the winter, feel more "blue", and so on.
LEARNING A SKILL IS NOT ABOUT THE CONCEPTS, IT IS ABOUT ROTE MINDLESS IMITATION UNTIL YOUR BRAIN HAS INTERNALIZED THE IDIOMS.

Technology and languages change. They have definitely changed a lot since my first combination of hobby AppleSoft Basic, 65C02 assembly language programs in the mid 80s. But concepts remain. I've gotten to the point in my career where most interviews don't focus on technical minutae of the language I code in. They focus on high level architectural concepts, best practices, and leadership skills (I'm still a hands on coder but these days I'm usually either officially by title or day to day in reality an architect).

In reality, all of the popular languages in the industry are "C like". I can watch a video while I'm working out to get an overview of the language and then just start coding and know what I don't know.
Great, thanks, I'll take a look at some of these on Monday. I've only got a few super simple scripts of my own but I use them all the time. A hugely valuable feature and lua is nice and simple to pick up.
>I've always read that road damage was caused by heavy vehicles(semis) which stress fracture the roads, which in turn fill with water, freeze, expand, rinse and repeat. This article seems to imply it's caused by the road design itself, though. Wonder which is true (or both)?

In my experience, both.

Set aside for one moment this new roller, the reality is that road paving is not exact science, and - even if it was - it is largely executed badly.

Paving (and before paving the underneath layers) are more like "cooking" than everything else.

It is not like you have the right recipe, good ingredients and follow "instructions" accurately you can replicate some dishes.

Usually (of course it greatly depends in local uses and materials available) the first mistake is under-calculating the thickness and consistence of the bottom layers (gravel, sand, quarried rubble, sometimes mixed with cement or lime).

The second one (again usually, not always) is inadequate protection from running water (be it coming from rain or from the soil).

Then it comes the exact composition of the asphalt, the (right or wrong) type and quantity of bitumen, the temperature at which it is mixed, transported and layered, the amount of compacting, etc., etc.

In the last 20 years or so some great betterings have come from the use of reinforcing layers, both in the underpavement (woven or non-woven geotextiles) and in the asphalt itself (geogrids, usually plastic).

Whilst geogrids in asphalt are rather costly (both as material and additional work to lay them), high strength geotextiles are relatively cheap and it is surprising how - still today - they are not widely and universally used.

Both however are only good for highways and roads outside the city, as the benefit of these textiles is to spread as much as possible any dynamic action provoked by heavy traffic and loads onto the widest possible surface, but in urban contexts the surface (and up to 1-1.5 m depth) is "ruined" by every kind of duct, pipe, cable and other services, often re-cut (over and over) for maintenance/repair/replacement.

May I suggest polyphasic sleeping? I've been doing the dymaxion schedule (30 minutes every 6 hours) and my anhedonia is pretty much gone. What's in place, however, is pure euphoria. It may be difficult for some, because the personality differences are huge, but if you cannot keep up exerting tremendous effort into living, it could be a possible change. My only worries starting, was that I was too relaxed and calm. It almost felt like nothing affected me and my sense of fear was nonexistent. Whether this is closer to nirvana or insanity, I don't know, but it's been nice. And the overthinking and hyperawareness that came with a fresh 9 hours of sleep is gone.
It’s part of the Rust typesystem, yes. It’s not the end of the world in this case if you don’t use it, but it’s the correct thing to do.

! is mostly useful when composing with other things, as it unifies with any type. return, break, continue, all have the type !. There’s an example of this being useful in the guessing game chapter of the book, I’d link you but I’m on mobile.

So in this context, since you never really call this function directly, it’s return type isn’t super relevant.
For the sake of argument, suppose someone hacked your program by causing buffer overflow. Then at least you know where the problem is, you go fix it and ship a patch the next day. Now suppose someone hacked your AI by causing hallucination. Do you know where the problem is? How to fix it? How long will it take to fix it? Does the fix really fix it? Etc... Not sure how this all is supposed to work.

It's always been my instinct that decentralisation of energy production is the true path forward, regardless of method.

If most of us had solar panels on our roofs for example you would reduce the demand on the power grid. It's not enough to be completely self reliant except for a very few people, but if everyone dropped their consumption by say 20% on average, that's a whole lot of power that centralised plants don't need to generate.

For people living on larger properties, a small wind turbine or two is also not out of the question.

Every little bit helps.
Point 2 is spot on. I sometimes make projects that nobody will ever use, not even me. I heard this advice from someone. Make lots of throwaway projects to get familiar with the technology.

That's how it seems to work with smaller roads in northern Sweden. They have a surface which is kind of compacted sand/gravel, which isn't all that robust long-term but can't really crack and is very easy to fix: a specialized machine drives over it and basically breaks up the top layer, re-applies it and smoothly and compacts everything again, and the road is good again.
I would recommend reading this article about the connection between vitamins D, A, and K, and how they inter-play with one another: https://www.precisionnutrition.com/stop-vitamin-d

It was pretty eye-opening (and alarming) when I read it.

In short: While Vitamin D is great for everyone, your body will begin lacking in vitamins A and K because of the effects of D (too much of a good thing, essentially). It's all about finding the right balance for yourself.

Snippet from the closing:

1. Get enough vitamin D… but not too much.
Doses of around 1,000 IUs per day — even as high as 2,000 IUs a day in the winter months when you’re not exposed to much sunlight — are likely safe. Especially when other key nutrients are included, such as vitamin K, vitamin A, and magnesium. You can ensure you are getting enough of these by taking a quality multi-vitamin.

2. Support vitamin D’s work
Remember that other nutrients act together with vitamin D. Consume a wide variety of minimally processed foods to help get vitamin D’s nutritional colleagues such as magnesium, vitamin A, and vitamin K.

Eat your greens and fermented foods. Dark leafy greens — such as kale, spinach, or Swiss chard — are good sources of vitamin K1. They’re also high in dietary magnesium. Fermented veggies such as sauerkraut along with eggs, meats (especially organ meats such as liver) and fermented/aged cheeses are good sources of vitamin K2.

Eat the rainbow. The carotenoid form of vitamin A is found in colorful fruits and veggies. Eggs, butter, full-fat dairy (such as cheese) and organ meats are also great sources of the active retinol form of vitamin A.

Keep your intestinal flora happy and healthy. Vitamin K conversion happens in the GI tract. So eat plenty of fermented foods and prebiotic fiber, consider a probiotic supplement, and avoid antibiotics unless absolutely necessary (research has found that broad-spectrum antibiotics can reduce K production by up to 75%).

Review all medications and supplements with your doctor and/or pharmacist. Many medications, such as corticosteroids like Prednisone, weight loss drugs like Orlistat, cholesterol-blocking drugs like statins, and/or high blood pressure drugs like thiazide diuretics can disrupt the delicate balance of vitamin and mineral regulation in the body. Make sure you know all the side effects and interactions of any medications (or “healthy” supplements) you are taking.

Huh. I thought I saw it live but now that you mention it, I don't think I did. In fact, I remember the class bully--a fat cartman-esque kid, running down the hallway yelling "The space shuttle blew up!" We didn't believe him because he wasn't the brightest kid around. But that was the first time I knew about the explosion. So I didn't see it live. But I think other kids in my class were watching it in a classroom somewhere.

It's hard to fully comprehend the impact of new energy sources on civilization. So much of what we do is only possible because we have the necessary energy at our disposal.

When civilization finds new energy sources, most other technologies level up as well.

Consider one of the biggest problems with desalinization systems: pumping water inland. The actual separation of salt from seawater isn't the most energy intensive part of the process. Desalinization works great for wealthy coastal communities.

But a large nation like the US or China would never be able to fulfill the water demand of its people through desalinization alone because the cost of transporting coastal water inland would be prohibitive.

Enter something like fusion, which is orders of magnitude more efficient on a per pound of fuel basis than fossil fuels and something like distributing water to everyone in the US from the coasts becomes possible.
