I use their toothpaste all the time. It has a very earthy organic flavor and immediately contrasts with the strong 'chemical' taste of traditional toothpaste.

To be fair, the toothpaste though is an exception. Most of the patanjali products are similar to other products on the market - the only difference seem to be that they skip the strong flavors/chemicals in favor of the basic ones and market it as more 'organic'. The subtext is that they are also a LOT cheaper so the market laps it up.

Indians have a widespread distrust of western personal care products and the science of Ayurveda is considered superior. Patanjali has taken the first step in monetizing this belief at scale. I don't think they would be the last.

Ayurveda is poised to go the way of Yoga. Everyone should get ready to hop on.
> Did you know that teens are having substantially less sex than the previous few generations? It’s true! And generally interpreted as a good thing. But Ronson suggests that this is in large part because porn is replacing sex, and, in fact, making real sex with real woman seem alienating and difficult.

Further down the author specifically mentions the correlation/causality fallacy but there are surely other explanations for this. The rise of cheap entertainment in the form of online gaming or Netflix come readily to mind.

I used to think that until I tried Rust and found that, without effort, my programs never crashed or had runtime errors. This is possible to achieve in JavaScript, but I do now seriously miss having the compiler do all my safety checks for me!

I still like JS, but I do now appreciate some of the criticisms more.
That's a reference to a particular person not a group.
That would just be monogamy. The thing people are calling stupid is the idea that low status men should be assigned wives forcefully to prevent them from being sad, which is what some people have actually proposed.
Personally, the overhead doesn't bother me that much; you can manage it by moving more work into C, cutting down on the number of FFI calls. What steers me away from cgo is that it complicates the build/release process and makes it harder to write cross-platform code. Go makes these things painless, so there's a strong incentive to not stray outside the Go toolchain.
There are a million political forces they would have to deal with to "fix the current planet," and they already do give to charity. Beyond that, you might ask, "Why do these people do anything because they are so vastly wealthy?" It is a passion project that inspires and motivates them, and the people that work for them. It is their money to spend.
>”enforced monogamy” from e.g. blowhard academics

Are academics advocating wholesale monogamy? That’s usually the field of organized religion.
Supply of capital increases can be:

1. More people (as you state), which is likely to happen in a growing population with wealth equality.

2. More capital per person engaged in the capital market, also grows with population but at a slower rate -- this is a more likely outcome in markets overlapping areas of high wealth inequality.

If you have 3X increase in the amount of capital seeking funds, the risk aversion of the median participant is going to be very different in each of those scenarios, and therefore dictate relative rates.

These days, the common wisdom is to pay into a huge fund of money (401(k) and similar into index funds) which mitigates a lot of the individual risk to investors.

How to build a better product with UX writing – UX Collective
May I ask how GA anonymizes ip address? What algorythm do they have in place as doing sha-x over 4 numbers (0-255 with skipping some) separates by dots is reversable in seconds on average pc and I wouldn't call it anonymization, rather obfuscation.

I am asking this as a friend of mine is having hard time accomplishing exactly that and is really a hard nut to crack, anonymization is by default irreversable and making such algorythm for 4 numbers (actually even less due to known ip address ranges for EU users + reserved ranges) is not simple. You can seed it but that key must remain unknown to google, while this is again getting very hard with javascript. The only way I see is sending all the data to local proxy script, anonymizing the data on your side and then sending it to GA.

I thing that if GA is doing just some hashing, this opens all the sites, using it, to a GDPR responsibility as data controllers including HN. And this can't be hidden under capet (imho) as a "I can't offer service without it" (legitimate interest).

Note what the article author writes:

"On my machine the code runs at around 100 Gflops, which is not far from the theoretical peak, and similar to Intel's optimized implementation."

So he knows that, for example, Intel provides/sells already optimized implementation. And he knows that there is GotoBLAS (1), because as you noted, he cites the paper about it.

But he explains the implementation present in Glow, "a machine learning compiler and execution engine for various hardware targets." (2)

Now if you want to prove to the authors of Glow why they should have "just used BLAS" I would like to read this discussion (or even better, see a proof of concept code with benchmarks etc). But I can imagine that in their case there were some reasons why not to use it, as they were aware that it exists.

However it is true that the readers should be aware of the background assumptions and to be aware of the existence of the libraries.

Jordan Peterson did in a recent interview. Although he’s a university professor, it’s probably unfair to paint him as an academic when he’s devolved into a transparent charlatan.

You could link a few sets of time bounded landsat images of an affected area to see if the land use change correlates with the rise in this problem.
Depending on the granularity of the data you could go pretty deep with something like quickbird images as well. Though I'm not sure how long they have been running off hand.
It's pretty clear that TC is alluding to Jordan Peterson. When I read the enforced monogamy headline I thought that's an incredibly stupid thing for him to say, only to find out that (surprise, surprise) it was taken out of context. What he actually said can still be criticized, but isn't even worth a headline.
Maybe porn isn't the butterfly. Maybe sexism is the butterfly, and porn just the wind ..
They are referring to Jordan Peterson. He said something along those lines in a recent interview. I haven't read the interview, though, so I don't know the context.
They're talking specifically about Jordan Peterson, and he sees himself as a high priest who is a literal embodiment of Jesus Christ, rising to the top of the universal dominance hierarchy. He is signaling to his low status followers that he would redistribute sex if he were in power.

If you think I'm making this up or being hyperbolic, watch his 100s of hours worth of lectures on YouTube. Even if you think this is utterly ridiculous, there are millions of people who will follow this man to their deaths.

This sounds horrible, sorry.
While the Patanjali brand products are quite decent and many times better (ingredients wise & effect) than competing products, it is a matter of great pride for Indians to use Swadeshi (made in India) products. Many of the products use ancient techniques & ingredients that, never mind other people, many Indians themselves feel ashamed to use (probably they are lured to everything Western).

That apart, Baba Ramdev is one heck of a human being, simple & very hard working. Follow his Prana Yama & other Yoga techniques to get rid of stress & many ailments in your body & mind.

A hand rolled routine where you benchmarked different indexing orders, strides, interleaving on a particular sized matrix on fixed sizes of caches has the potential to outperform blas. In general, use BLAS.

Those sub-cubic algorithms require the matrix to be very-very-very large to recoup the extra constant costs associated with them.

If you want to learn about how efficient matrix multiplication can be implemented, that is a different problem.
The best thing is that other companies like Colgate etc have started including the Panchanga (Hindu calendar) to voo consumers. Otherwise there is no way they can even compete with Patanjali brands. This is a new age that is beginning, an age of truth & hopefully it will continue.

Try Patanjali's Chyawanprash as well, much better than the others.
Two threads here: one is that copyright in porn has largely broken down, resulting in a single giant company making a lot of money from recordings without paying the performers.

The second is: what is the effect of production and distribution of porn, on those producing it, consuming it, and third parties? This was a huge issue for feminism in the late 70s and early 80s, with Camille Paglia on the pro side and Andrea Dworkin on the anti side. It has still not been resolved. It's a huge and complex question, and the answer almost certainly depends on the details of the content.
It isn't overhead to have a dynamic dispatch; you're traversing a runtime structure with variable shape. I can always construct a Map that will force you into a the case of dynamic dispatch in JSON. The only way we could remove that overhead is by fully fixing the shape of the tree and all maps at compile time (which has its uses, but in a different context).

The fact that you can fuse multiple passes into one alteration (or reconstruction) of the tree is what's a removal of overhead.
At a previous company, a new employee accidentally commited his aws credentials to a public github repo, which had instance creation capabilities.

I also believe this is what African Americans are still experiencing, while maybe slavery was long ago to have been "worked out" of the genes, it was roughly just two or three generations ago that there was segregation, Jim Crow laws, lynchings etc.
> I believe you're reading this as much more negative and confrontative than it was meant to be.

Absolutely not. I found your posts really interesting, it's a perspective I hadn't considered and you articulate it well. And no confrontation was intended from my end.

> Don't lie to yourself about what's ahead and prepare yourself.

"What's ahead" is unpredictable and unknown. You should certainly be prepared, but just avoid self-fulfilling prophecies like saying "it's difficult" etc. That can also put some people off of ever creating anything in the first place.

I have to go now, but thanks for the comments!

Slightly related, but I've always wondered if there are similar (preferably successful) explorations in maths. "Mainstream" notations are clearly optimized for handwriting, but there's just so much room with current tech for optimizing for e.g. visual intuitiveness. And let's not even talk about all the historical burden that's made these notations the convoluted mess they are today.

(Uncreative, probably very bad) examples: Replace brackets with boxes, use colors (think syntax highlighting), icons, or even basic text-like formatting. And that's still being very conservative in relation to what could be done, as exemplified by the OP.

Any pointers/ideas?

I remember the PDS!

I had it a stack of 3.5" floppies, and the last disk had a bad spot, so some of the framework was impossible to use because I couldn't install it.

That being said, the QuickBasic line and the PDS were amazing -- even the PDS had reams of online documentation on how to use the tooling, straight from the IDE.

I like to make multiple things clear which may cause confusion to many:

Ben Cair, author of the article, does not undersatand Hindi language. So lets not expect that he can sucessfully paint a correct picture.

Hinduism is not based on dogma, so calling it a religion is an insult to it. The correct word would be Dharma.

Similary, calling a Yogi religious person or Godman is an insult because a religious person is supposed to be sectarian whereas a Yogi sees everyone including opponents as equal.

Swamy Ramdev has been open about taking forward the movement of vedic renaissance. Patanjali is just a transparent tool to arrange funds to promote research in Ayurveda and forgotten scriptures.

Aachaya Balakrishna also has talked about reasons for suffering of farmer. He says that in developed country up to 80% is processed food, whereas here in India only 5-6% food gets processed. He likes to increase the percentage, so that our farmers gets to earn decent money.

Cow urine has anti bacterial compounds [1]. We Hinuds have been traditionally using cow urine for disinfection of a surface since thousands of years.

> Baba Ramdev renounced the material world. So why is he selling toothpaste, instant noodles, and toilet cleaner?
Renouncing the material world does not mean disconnecting from the material around you. It means avoiding the pursuit of seeking pleasure for five senses.

A yogi is the person who is indifferent to pleasure or pain, reward or punishment etc. It is the commitment which has to be observed first.
Also, we hindus dont have western holy/unholy concept. Our god/divinity is everywhere, be it enemy or shit or toilet cleaner. Everything is sacred, serving its purpose.

> Ramdev says his worldview is “scientific, secular, and universal”—but he also claims yoga can “cure” homosexuality and has openly fantasized about beheading people who refuse to chant nationalist slogans.

Read books by Swamy Vivekananda on Raj Yog, Karma Yog, Bhakti Yog and Gyan Yog to understand the Yogic philosophy and his point of view.
Swamy Ramdev has never opposed homosexuality as the perception given here.
Yes, he said that it is because of the respect for consitution he holds himself back otherwise he has the potential to behead those conspiring against the nation & its heritage.

I can certainly say that Ben Cair does not know Philosophy of Yoga, otherwise he would not be making such lose comments and wondering how can a "Godman" sell toilet cleaner.

But ads are not viable unless they are driven by information about the audience - down to the individual.

There’s also been a shift due to online and apps that give women an unlimited choice of men while giving the majority of men nearly no choice — the dating world for most men has become a lot more difficult over the last couple of years.

Ahhh make it stop!

By the way "make use of work that other people already did" might be nice for getting something built fast but it may not be the best thing.

Any issue that involves writing fast code involves tradeoffs. If you sit down to write something new you may have different views on the tradeoffs than whoever wrote "the fastest" one.

Life ain't so black and white. In fact even these 'best of field' products tend to be ugly inside and unoptimized in places. (source: I develop linear algebra libraries)

Bonus: for low level ASM math, every "solved" problem (which by the way it wasn't) becomes unsolved the second Intel or AMD or whoever releases a new chip or coprocessor.

This is a great find. Right before college I had the chance to sit in a lab at BBN for a few of the summer months. I believe at the time they were owned by Verizon. I remember thinking that I was walking on hallowed ground - where many computing "firsts" had happened. But they were a bit of a shadow of their former self... In some sense I feel that is true for a lot of tech. Govt or defense funding planted the original seeds for a lot of the great tech we have today. Now bleeding edge tech is mostly driven by rich guys and their pet projects...

I still have a mug and a t-shirt from BBN. My wife almost threw the mug out once. Umm... NOPE!
You have only one sided story, why not dig up the response from official spokesperson of Patanjali.
I wonder if there is a user content monetization scheme in porn industry. By that I mean whether all those people, regular people and not porn actors, who voluntarily upload videos where they have sex, bathe, undress etc get paid. I think a large portion of such videos are really private but are leaked by bitter exes, or stolen from lost mobiles etc, but there is a portion that is indeed voluntary. I wonder about that.

This would be an interesting sociological development when (or if?) it happens.
Jordan Peterson, whose being referenced here explained what he meant[0] and it doesn't seem unreasonable. It's uncharitable to jump to a conclusion here without going beyond our presuppositions.

Those bargain rates are possible largely because the Basin’s five dams generate around six times what the region can use locally. Much of the surplus is exported, at premium prices, to outside buyers such as Puget Sound Energy, and those outside sales subsidize local rates.

But if the utilities are selling more of their power to local Bitcoin miners, they’re exporting less power at those premium prices, which makes it harder to keep local rates low. Further, because much of the surplus is currently committed in long-term contracts, supplying miners with all the megawatts they want might require the utilities do something virtually unprecedented: buy power on the open market, at prices far above what locals have come to expect.

Solution: pass a law to charge miners export prices. It’s not as though Bitcoin mining helps the local economy, so you either return revenues to pre-mining levels, or drive the leeches out. Either outcome is equivalent.
What about HN, which is a link + title?
Is it moot? With templates, the Visitor type is selected at compile time and needn't even be polymorphic. The member function call(s) can often be inlined. Pretty sure there is no dynamic dispatch or jumps in such a scenario. Cache misses, sure, but I don't think that's important in this case.
Of course the first half of this graph is the same as the journey to creating something that fails :). Persistence is required either way. But it's important to consider cutting your losses at some point too.
