I've always found any of these studies that treat artificial sweeteners as a single group very suspect.

1) The only thing the different types of Artificial Sweeteners have in common is a high sweetness value per volume (2k-4k time more sweet than sugar is common). Other than that they are different chemicals so it seems strange to treat them a single group. Sure a few of them might have issues but it seems silly to say they all have the same single issue. Really a red flag for who funded the study.

2) Due to the very high sweetness levels compared to sugar, even if the artificial sweetener is many times worse than sugar per volume, it is still safer due to only 1/2k being actually being used.
There's also the question of how little energy is enough to perform computations, and I've enjoyed greatly a video on the subject by PBS Space Time:

"Reversing Entropy with Maxwell's Demon | Space Time"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR23aMjIHIY

Turns out even in case of an "ideal Maxwell'S Demon", the memory operation required to handling pass/stop necessitates certain energy use.
An update on that theory: AST2400 has option for two SPI memories, one main, one "recovery."

https://download.csdn.net/download/duanzhang512/10385038

The recovery overrides the primary if detected by default.

The place they put their "filter cap" is right on top the empty TSOP8 pad for the recovery flash. And they probably ordered the factory to sneak the traces just a little bit more, or put hidden vias under it, or simply had somebody very dexterous to solder it to pads with hair thin wires.
Meh, this study is misleading. They didn't test if any other foods had the same effect. So sure, sweeteners might have a detrimental effect by this biomarker. But they didn't check if anything we'd consider healthy, like broccoli or onions, have similar effects.

This is like saying "smoking increases your change of a heart attack 10X after one puff!" without noting "...but having sex increases it 7X and drinking a can of coke increases it 5X".

Why has Hacker News become so diluted by None hacker news?
Hacker News recently - really since 2016 has become so diluted with topics unrelated to hacking... Why do we continue to see posts from major news outlets that really have nothing to do with day to day hacking? What can be done to bring things back to higher quality of content e.g. less news spam?
The whole thing feels like encroachment of some kind of bizarre secular theology into physics. Grandiose and mostly non-falsifiable claims that can't be used to make any specific predictions. Thinking by analogy (with computers) rather then by deduction or induction. What makes this fundamentally different from, let's say, talks about the astral plane?

We don't have AI in GTA. We don't have strong AI at all. Our computing is running into all kinds of physical limitations right now. Moreover, the only thing that distinguishes GTA from accounting software is that we built it in such a way that it can be interpreted as a cruder version of the real world. There is no fundamental difference.

Was this before 2011 because the article states: "Along the way, the bus passes an overgrown baseball field and boarded-up houses, remnants of the prison employees and their families who called the island home until the prison closed in 2011"

The article itself claims "McNeil Island, nestled in Puget Sound, is unpopulated except for the 214 people who live at the special commitment center, a facility for former prison inmates."

So is the article completely wrong?

Grateful outcome
Recent times i have been having issues with my credit scores and repair companies for awhile. Ill fated choices i made had really tampered with my credit history with late payments. I have been trying to get a car loan approved but none of the companies would finance me as my credit rating was poor. I was depressed and was really in urgent need of a car to make my business easier for me. I travelled for a business trip, where I bumped into one of my relatives, who I shared my concerns with and immediately introduced me to a credit expert known as DEXTERFIX. I discussed with him concerning my credit issues and he promised to assist me. To my greatest surprise, after just five days my score was boosted to 784 and all negative reports were deleted with good trade lines. I got approved for a loan, got my car and most of all got my things together. I am so filled with gratitude to DEXTERFIX for such a wonderful work. You can mail him at DEXTERFIX@FASTSERVICE.COM and text on +1 872 307 0106. I hope this helps.

Seriously, why are we still outsourcing chip manufacturing to other countries? Sure it's cheaper, but we sacrifice a lot to have a society of corporate slaves build our tech. Security, core domain knowledge, capability, corporate secrets, patent rewards and enforcement, etc... All of it you throw away the minute you ship your manufacturing out of the country. I've seen enough board printing machines out there to start working on our own. As a country, we need to close this gap, more automation and capability and there will be no need to outsource circuit board printing and manufacturing. We will be much better off.
I absolutely love docker for development. It saves so much set up time, and of course is handy later.

Many they forgot this particular test case while "many thousands of devices."
That doesn't actually solve dark matter.

We know that the rotational velocity of a stellar object is proportional to the mass inside its orbit and inversely proportional to its distance from the center.

From measuring the velocities of stars in other galaxies, we find that the stars distant from the core are orbiting much faster than we'd expect them to. The velocity as you go out from the center should drop off quickly; it doesn't.

Therefore we hypothesize that there is a lot more matter at the outer reaches of a galaxy than what we're seeing.

So... you need not just more mass, but mass that isn't clumpy; mass that is mostly at the outer reaches of a galaxy and not the center.

A massive black hole at the center just doesn't cut it.
x-ray would have been easier, as others have said.

but you're talking about the addition of an entire board! probably on the order of 10% of the size of the main boards.

in this article, perhaps dumbed down or altered, they are talking about the addition of a single, tiny chip, too small to even be an MCU let alone have wireless capability (which BTW requires an antenna).
Oh, the tech described is very real, and has been a known nation state level attack for years. It's the scale and targeting of the attack that is new.

One can enter the top 2% of almost any field in one year, especially with the help of nootropics. It doesn't take much to cross the threshold. If not among the top 2% in such a time, then there was usually zero aptitude. Being the best or getting that much better tends to take more effort.
Ask HN: How to find a remote client based in the US?
We have a small software development company based in Europe, about 10 developers with 5-10 years of experience in mostly fullstack product development projects, JVM+React/Angular tech and customer development with lean methodologies. We are thinking of looking for clients outside of Europe, mainly in the US. Not for any particular reason other than interest in what US has to offer. What would be the best way to start gathering leads? Any good sites or communities to look for?

I also strongly suspect Comcast and Google will get into it as well. That would be consistent with Google’s shift from fiber to wireless, and Comcast’s dipping its toes into the wifi/mvno waters. Most major industries have less competition than the “Big 4.” For mobile OSs, there is just two real options. Same for desktop OSes. For search engines, maybe three. Soft drinks two.

The question isn’t how many does it take for optimal competition, but how many companies does it take to beat a government-regulated industry? The answer is probably two, maybe even one. (It’s a good thing the government never regulated Microsoft.)

Pole access fees were never used to determine the relative value of access to different firms. The Communications Act requires pole access fees to be non-discriminatory. Everyone pays rates according to a schedule. Which is a good thing, because local governments have no competence to pick among providers. That’s the pre-1994 behavior that led to de facto regional monopolies today.

> I don't think young people/teenagers use it as a "go to" (like I do).

I was a bit surprised to hear advertising for "reddit the site" towards a younger audience.. but there was plenty of it during the recent counter-strike major league event in London. Many times throughout the programme they "organically" discussed how everyone wants to be at the top of reddit, how it is the place you wanna be, etc. They obviously took money for it. I'd link videos, but the faceittv twitch channel is subscribers only. I would not be surprised if they are marketing in similar ways for other e-sports.

Aside, but another counter-strike event (eleague iirc) recently had an actual uniformed army officer handing out trophy to the winners. That I found truly distasteful.

That said, my bet for reddit is also on stagnation.
I'm glad Ars and others are doing this kind of reporting. The populace needs frequent reminders that ulterior motives are everywhere.

Congrats to author! Just a small addendum: I'm not a lawyer, but I'd advise author to check licenses. GPL3 project license and EPL license of libs used as dependencies aren't compatible.

Don't waste your time, he's a troll that pops up on every thread that has anything to do with things like docker or k8s. It doesn't matter what the problem is, smartos is the solution.

SmartOS is solid technology, but he doesn't have the slightest clue what k8s does, but is completely certain that smartos somehow does "the same thing" better.

They aren't even mutually exclusive, there's no reason you couldn't write a CRI backend to run k8s on top of zones on smartos.

We are currently living in a system where nothing belongs to us even though the real owners make us believe the opposite. We don't have money, the banks have.

I have thought about this myself.

I am from Africa and needless to say, we don't have an abundance of VC funds for startups.

I have used products live Revolut and Monzo before and loved them, there is an opportunity being missed in places like Africa and other developing economies that have a huge growing youthful middle class that hates the way the established banks operate and is comfortable with technology.

I spent most of my free time last year building a backend that can handle some core banking functions, I already did research on the licensing and knew I would never be able to raise that money just with an idea and business plan so to keep myself going and also have something to show potential VC's I decided to start small, things like airtime top-up, bill payments etc

Break it down , look at the bits that you can build out and get some initial customers while you look to raise money, you don't have to go all out and build a whole bank, start small, licensing for things like e-wallets and money transfer is not unreasonably expensive, you can then go on to build on top of that

Good luck.

a) Most people here probably don't actually know their IQ scores, and claiming that most of the people here are >120 iq is silly. No one has any way of knowing that.

b) Most people here also probably know people who are every bit as intelligent as they are who have repeatedly had really shitty luck and zero success. Similarly, most people know someone who is successful, but at the end of the day is pretty stupid. Regardless of IQ, I think most people here recognize intellect as really helpful, but also as neither necessary nor sufficient for success, wealth, happiness, etc.
/r/movies is shocking for this.

For almost a year, every second post was "I just watched movie XYZ, it's great, you should watch it streaming on Netflix now".

Every single post had that "Netflix" on the end.

Now in the official [Discussion] Thread for any new release whatsoever there are hundreds and hundreds of comments that follow this structure almost to the letter:

"Based on all the criticism online I really went into this not sure what to expect, but actually, I was pleasantly surprised, this movie is really fun with great character development, great action and cinematography to leave you gasping. You should see this in theaters. Highly recommend this movie."
Doing a small project is a best way to learn a new system. If you never plan to use Kubernetes then I would agree, why would you use it at all? But if you're exploring it there could be no better way to get your feet wet than with a small project.

In RhodeCode we have a similar concept that we call diff ranges. It's not available in pull-request view directly, however, users can see this on a source repo if they select a range from changelog view.

example: https://code.rhodecode.com/rhodecode-enterprise-ce/changeset...

I agree with the concept and it's sometimes very important to see how each commit produced the final combined diff.

Because they aren't both efficient and fast at the same time. They have two sets of cores. Fast out-of-order cores that will burn through your battery in a few hours (this is what is generally measured by benchmarks) and slow efficient in-order cores that can last one or two days in standby.

If you actually use battery intensive apps like google maps' you will quickly realize your battery isn't going to last very long.

Doesn't the printed circuit board also need to be redesigned, to allow for the spy chip to be inserted?

So, this means that China forced multiple companies to modify their processes, in order to pull this off.

1. The PCB designer

2. The PCB printer, if it's a separate company

3. The company assembling the final product

And if they forced the PCB to be redesigned, then wouldn't this be a immediate red flag? But this means that the customer, Supermicro, would have to audit the PCB results as well.

>why they then sell their customers in bulk to Google to monetize all that private data...

That's easy. Because if Apple were to disallow the use of the google search engine on their phones and web browser they'd find themselves slapped with an anti-trust monopolistic practices suit faster than you can say "Google Lobbyist".

I mean, if they wanted to, they could try using the whole, "customer privacy" excuse in open court. But like the famous meme says:

"Oohhh that's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see how it works out for 'em?"

I wouldn't be too sanguine about their chances of surviving such an openly hostile action to a clear competitor.

Apple does the next best thing, it gives you the option not to use Google. But it doesn't make that choice for you.

I remember my philosophy teacher saying to the class that we can make 3 hypothesis:

- Technology can advance until we can make simulation undicernable from reality: in this case, we are likely to live in this simulation

- Any civilisation comming close to the previous point is likely to already have destroyed itself. In this case, living in a similation is unlikely,

- Technology can't advance to this point in our universe. Living in a simulation is impossible.

On of these proposition is true, but we are unable to know which one. So we have to put an equal weight on those, and the probability that we live in a simulation is 1/3.

Sadly (or hopefully), Church-Turing conjecture is somehow backing the 3rd theory too, and i'll by anything coming from Turing.

Any particular mechanical action by a robot can be done by a discrete mechanism. Trying to assemble all of these into a frame that has the visual appearance of a human being is not yet possible. We have all seen the mechanical clowns that are the best to date - and then there is the brain! Try to fit that in 3/4 gallon space.
I suppose they can put the brain in the basement and use WiFi?
As for sentience. We are figuring out all the ways in which human brains function - all the feedbacks, control loops etc.
Content addressable memory for example. Ask an army sergeant if 'private Smith' is present and he will shout SMITH, and Smith will say 'here'.
A machine would have to inspect every person to see if they were Smith.
Computers are around 4 gigahertz, and getting faster, in clock speed so they can work around this, but it is a barrier to sentience in a machine.
One by one they will solve all these disparate subcomponents that make up a human mind and hook them together to make a new born with a 4 Ghz clock. Unless they have pre-stuffed the memory with recollections etc Blade Runner style, they will have to educate this child and hope it is not a crazy child - no matter, in 20 years or less it will be done.
Is this 'child' a slave, property? An entity? Will it follow orders? Will it see it is alone and want fellowship of it's own kind?
A novel in the past created such a machine, and it was asked 'is there a God?' - 'There is NOW', was the answer.

>These analyses have provided some astonishing predictions. For example, we can now calculate the (non-zero) probability that a given nanoscale system will violate the second law, reducing its entropy, in a given time interval. (We now understand that the second law does not say that the entropy of a closed system cannot increase, only that its expected entropy cannot increase.)

I think they meant to say decrease in the parentheses.

There's a question as to whether ethics/morals/compassion scale with power. I think there's a solid argument to be made that human power has scaled near exponentially over the last 200 years while human ethics seem to be coupled to it (slavery and genocide are almost universally reviled where they were common place before, per capita violence is way way down, international and intercultural cooperation via trade, communication, etc have never been higher).

Are the two things tightly coupled? Seems difficult to prove, but if they are, they folks running our simulation are probably going to treat us a lot better than we treat each other.
