Which one wouldn't, presumably, experience if only doing 5lb weights? I'm not making judgment on whether "noob gains" are good or bad, just trying to understand why the OP even made the comment about 5lb weights in the first place.
My mother was diagnosed with bipolar and treated with lithium and other drugs for years before she was diagnosed with celiac, and autoimmune disease that centers around the small bowel. It was assumed that I would have this issue myself, and indeed I've had many times where my moods dominated my life. It never felt like 'me' to be depressed, or hyperactive, and I had a wide variety of other mood and neurological issues such as anxiety, confusion, constant fatigue and insomnia, along with a variety of unexplained groups of physical symptoms. So, obviously I turned out to have celiac disease too.

Now that I have stopped consuming gluten, the trigger for celiac, my moods are much more stable. When I inadvertently consume some, part of the reaction I have (which is days long) includes psychological symptoms. Now, in the absence of frequent gluten poisoning, these symptoms stand out.

However, with all this experience, I have no idea how my microbiome affects my mental health. The effects could easily be explained by the immune storm kicked off in my body by gluten. I also have little idea of how my health observations relate to normal people who don't have celiac. Probiotics don't seem to affect my sense of well-being.

There is a startup in Los Alamos focused on personal microbiomes. I'm thinking of getting analyzed: https://www.viome.com
Always think about where the user would be expecting to find each comment.

The route I would use would be to use Angular in order to display your list of subreddits alphabetically. Selecting the checkbox of the subreddit selects all comments within that subreddit for deletion. Selecting anything other than the checkbox in that subreddit <div> will simply use ngIf to display a <div> below it containing an ngFor <ul> showing each comment within this subreddit chronologically for selection. You can always break these into smaller groups such as years/months/days.

In the case of /r/gonewild I would also allow for deletion of only comments with pictures/links.

I've been following fusion research on and off since I've been a little kid. It's always been far in the future. Back then it seemed like I could actually see a fusion reactor when I'm an old man. Now, 25 years later, the rate of progress generally feels like the date has shifted to "not in my lifetime". It's kind of a weird feeling.

Edit: Addendum: I vividly remember images with visualization results for numerical simulations on the reactor vessel shape for Wendelstein 7-X. That was back in 1992 or so. This just shows how long this experiment was in the making.
>>On one hand, this is a testament to the power of contemporary machine learning methods and the latest computer chips to process vast amounts of data. On the other, it’s a reminder of how fundamentally unintelligent AI agents are.

forgive any ignorance, but how do changes to the game affect AI behavior? E.g. New characters, new maps, balance changes, bug fixes, etc. Do the AI have to be re-trained in a similar amount time, or is it expedited? How adaptive are the A.I. systems?

What I'm getting at is - in a real world scenario (like the city transportation example from the article), how quickly can the A.I. respond to things unexpected changes (natural disasters, accidents, etc)? Will they be able to handle the unexpected in a safe time frame?

Ok, so if you eat as much as you want of home-cooked bacon, eggs, and fresh-sliced potatoes fried in lard you'll lose weight? Or is that not "real food"?

No, it's not as simple as avoiding packaged food. And even if it were, avoiding consuming all that crap may be simple but it's not easy. It takes a lot of willpower. If that's easy for you, you're in a tiny and fortunate minority.

The human body is a complex system with all sorts of feedback loops on inputs and outputs that can make it extremely difficult to change its equilibrium.

Calling people lazy when in fact they're losing a fight against every instinct of their biology (plus all sorts of societal ills like long work hours and food deserts and advertising) is unproductive.

Ask HN: Tips for applying out-of-state for an Entry-Level job?
Some context: I have been applying for jobs for about two months now. I currently live in an area that is not exactly a tech hub (quite the opposite actually), so I'm forced to apply to out-of-state. You can't even find an internship here at the moment.

I recently had an interview for an Entry-level position halfway across the country. I thought it went well and I passed the rather rudimentary coding portion. That said, I wasn't given the offer. I have the feeling that part of what worked against me was the fact that I was out-of-state.

My question is, what are some strategies for applying out-of-state? I currently have family in the Baltimore area but I haven't leveraged this fact yet.

I'm currently at a loss and am getting frustrated. I have experience collaborating with projects for nonprofits with professional developers, but I have yet to find any entry-level openings at my home town.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
I don't know if this is the same issue, but there is a workaround in https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/1778. The TOC had been driving me crazy, and I had just learned to live with it for now, but I think the workaround can address some of the issue.

Yes, but the question is can we launch and protect a payload for 100 years that can self-reproduce where it arrives? Otherwise all our ships can do is explore a tight X-lightyear sphere around Earth.

Can we propel a ship that can sustain 100 years of human (or AI) life and protect it from cosmic rays and provide it with enough equipment to build a self-sustaining colony on arrival?
Of course not. RISC-V is open instruction set, not open microarchitecture.

There will be some totally open RISC-V microarchitectures, but they are not competitive with commercial ones. Maybe some verified and intentonally very simple designs for security applications.

I would like to be proven wrong, so if there is some IC experts who can explain the business case where someone invests $300-$500M to develop new top notch open source microarchitecture (patent free?) every 5-10 years that can compete with Intel, AMD and others, I would like to see it.

"When I lived in India, it was cheaper to hire someone to wash clothes and dishes by hand [assuming that context makes it clear that the costs are being calculated over an extended period of time rather than a single instance] than to buy a washing machine or dish washer".

Including shipping is indeed useful, but I was calling out changes, and as you say they've done that forever. Just about every change they've made in the last half decade that I can think of makes it less friendly.

I would be surprised if it's a lot that prefer default inclusion of international. They made the change right about the same time they made customs fees for international automatic and unavoidable. Makes me suspect that fee is including a hidden profit element in this dark pattern.

I hear you on how frustrating that is. There are several reasons they don't contain solutions. The reasons you have heard are idealistic but practically incorrect. In particular this is wrong, for the reasons you intuited:

> Additionally, I heard the argument that "you should know" if your solutions are correct.

Anyone who believes this has forgotten their own early struggles or never watched beginning students struggle with something comparatively basic, like induction. In fact, introductory (proof-based) math courses are particularly dangerous for not knowing whether or not your proof is sound, because you've not yet built the mathematical maturity to check your own work. In a similar vein, beginning students often have a high level mental model of why a statement is true and which "tools" are needed, but no idea how to concretely put these together in a sound proof.

This is more of an opinion that doesn't reflect reality:

> The common answer I get is solutions "rob" the student of learning.

If the presence of the solution means the student will simply refer to it instead of e.g. completing homework on their own, then the student was probably never really engaged with the material in the first place. It's one thing to laboriously complete the proof first and then use the solution to check it, but it's another thing entirely if the student is just skipping all the work. This is especially true nowadays, because students who want to get easy answers can just go on math.stackexchange for virtually any homework assignment.

These answers are parroted because there is a deep seated "trial by fire" culture in advanced math. But this doesn't have anything to do with why the solutions don't tend to be in the books. To begin with, you have to check your assumptions:

> How can a self-learner without access to a university or professor check their work?

These textbooks are (for better or worse) not designed to be used by self-learners. In fact there isn't really any mainstream publication effort in higher mathematics targeting autodidacts. Therefore that criticism - while valid - isn't really applicable to math textbooks. Ostensibly students are using these textbooks under the instruction of a professional mathematician in a classroom setting.

The other reason mostly follows from the first one. The proof of any given statement is typically significantly longer than the statement itself. As it stands, math textbooks are usually filled with sequences of axioms, definitions, propositions, theorems and lemmas. Each chapter tends to have at least six or so of those sequences, but potentially dozens. The proofs of theorems are included, which means that all but the most trivial of chapter exercises would significantly lengthen the entire enterprise. That's a lot more writing, grammatical editing, mathematical proof-reading, page binding, etc for the whole publication process.

And thats why we see a lot fewer new social networks starting out today. in the late aughts, everyone and their grandma was starting a social network, google started 3, heck even apple started one, everyone was trying to replicate the perceived success of facebook, when even that wasn't yet clear as a viable business. Now that most people know just getting lots of eyeballs doesn't translate to cash in the bank people have cooled off.

youtube is an even bigger issue because video is so expensive to support, so on top of the possibility of not making any money, you also need to front huge costs in infrastructure.

Sorry, didn't see your comment till now... About the last point - yes, there is a ticket about it (too lazy to find it now ;).

The first ticket is a bit different. Starting depending jobs automatically would be great, but I would be satisfied if I could just click a button "Start this job when dependencies finish".

But anyway, those are all quite old tickets and I know from talking with other developers that I am not the only one having a sore point. And I don't see much improvement in the last year or so.

Don't get me wrong - I still love the product and would like to see it get even better.
To OP's point this isn't some shocking revelation. Do people think that this is the full picture? That were even close to having any sort of understanding of what really happens?

From the sound of it, they don't. Since it's a policy gradient method, which learns only from the last set of samples, hypothetically, they could simply swap out the DoTA binary on the fly in parallel and let it automatically update itself by continued training. (The difference between optimal pre/post-patch is a lot smaller than the difference between a random policy and an optimal policy...)

Same experience. Bipolar relatives, volatile in childhood, diagnosed at 20, way more stable now since switching my diet. From severe diagnosed anxiety disorder to calm in one week after removing gluten from diet. Symptoms, especially self harm ideation , grandiosity and anxiety come back for exactly 48-72 hours when I ingest it and then subside. Life changing. Probiotics and other vitamins never made that much difference by comparison. Bipolar has many causes though. The only biological difference between those who self harm and those who don't is zinc deficiency.
