Ya my workout staple was always bean burritos with bell peppers, tomatoes etc. Also peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cottage cheese/casein. I started developing a sensitivity to peanuts after some particularly hard years after the housing bubble where I lived on PB&J for basically a year straight. Severe constipation followed by weight gain, joint pain and acne.

Once that happens, there is a transference that can happen over similar classes of proteins which can lead to other sensitivities to grains, dairy etc, starting primarily with gluten and lectins. The transference can even involve the body's own proteins and lead to autoimmune diseases like arthritis. Here's a pretty good article on it:

My feeling is that what's really going on is that the body can tolerate toxins from any source for a certain number of days, but after that, begins to succumb to them which triggers inflammation. It's a bit like trying to drink alcohol on the third day. Except we don't notice it immediately with food, so we keep eating what we're used to instead of investigating what our cravings mean. That's why eating a variety and rotating meals so you're only getting the same food a couple of times a week is so important.

Keep in mind that I also had quit working out cold turkey for about 5 years and lost about 30-40 pounds (including some muscle) and was drinking too much. I was also getting older and wasn't ready to grow up and be smart about my nutrition. Luckily it only took about 6 months at the gym and eating right to get back to where I was. It actually took longer to work around the various weaknesses and injuries I had acquired, for example having to start over with 135 at deadlift and go up 10 pounds a week to reknit my lower back, than it did to get the size back on my arms and chest.

For the most part nobody seems to talk about all the above, mainly because health and fitness are a young person's game (below 35 generally) and also because holistic effects are not a big part of western medicine yet. My feeling again is that declining testosterone isn't a cause, it's a symptom of all these other systems getting out of whack.

Edit: I forgot to mention above that I'm about to start taking cissus for golfer's elbow. It's apparently highly effective so I'm only going to take it for a week or two and see if it heals it. It apparently thickens the lining of the stomach as well which can help with ulcers, which to me indicates another possible connection between gut health and joint pain. I don't know that I will take it long term like glucosamine/chondroitin however. Hope this helps someone.
Soros and the Kochs both function as bogeymen, that's true.

It's also true that both are engaged in various forms of activism.

What their goals are seem to be different, though, and as far as I can tell, though, it's more frequently true that the Kochs are actually doing the things "the Left" calls out than it is that George Soros is actually doing the things that "the Right" calls out. So it's possible there are important differences between the two that "the same damn people" papers over.

Another Gwern link: https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine

Highlight: "Wikipedia summarizes Guillem et al 2005 as "Technically, nicotine is not significantly addictive, as nicotine administered alone does not produce significant reinforcing properties" - the addictiveness coming from MAOIs (eg. Khalil et al 2000, Khalil et al 2006) & possibly other compounds present in tobacco"

So I'd expect cigars and pipe smoking to be addictive. My personal experience is smoking cigarettes occasionally (average less than one a day), and I wouldn't say I was addicted either.

My current hypothesis for why cigarettes seem more addictive is frequency. Searching "cigarettes per day average" turns up estimates mostly around 15 per day; most cigar/pipe smokers aren't anywhere near that.

While that's a accurate generalization of Berlin startups, from what I can tell it's pretty much the same for startups anywhere (maybe with the exception of salary in contrast to SF, but the cost of living is absurd in comparision).

I'd be a little worried about the feature that fills in missing voice chunks. It sounds ripe for accidentally replacing one lost word with a completely different word that could also make sense in context. Almost like the issue where Xerox copiers would sometimes replace one character with another. Hopefully the filling in of missing chunks is done in a way that doesn't allow it to fill in whole words, but rather just short sub-syllable chunks of audio?
Or, you know, people can be genuinely against global centralization and not have anything to do with anti-semitism. In my view, the attempt at linking anti-globalist views to anti-semitism is just an ad hominem attack.
I was so madly in love with my ex. Unfortunately, we couldn't really talk at all, and in the long term, love doesn't work without communication.

Vimeo has $1b market cap and was looking at $100m in revenue this year. [1]

Sure it's not YouTube (yet), but it's nothing to sneeze at either.

> many video producers are extremely unhappy using youtube

YouTube basically created an entire new market around video production. If it weren't for YouTube (or a similarly popular service), I'd hazard a guess that many of those video production jobs simply wouldn't exist.

It's hard to complain about a market with a too-big-player when the player basically created the entire market.

How do they make money?

All audio is processed on device, but is the goal to use the public training/learning to tailor a more robust model which they can sell commercially/integrate into apps/phones/etc?
i think the price should be around 35 dollars per month
I remember one Deep Learning startup in Berlin ran by ex-Googlers that was offering 85k salary, minuscule equity, and expected a Stanford top-graduate with interview that had to demonstrate complete mastery of all Stanford Deep Learning courses and probabilistic graphical models... I hope it's not your employer, you are likely undervaluing yourself 10x otherwise.

The companies appear to be complaining that they can't hire skilled people.

Paying more is one solution - hire the skilled people away from their current job.

But so is training. Training could be considered a benefit, but at one time it was the standard assumption - all jobs include training, particularly jobs that are in any way skilled. And not just training at the beginning, but ongoing. Every year. Like a salary, vacation and sick time. As part of the standard budget. Not the first thing to be cut - because it is just as necessary as salary, vacation and sick time.

Unless of course, the job isn't really skilled, and companies doesn't actually need skilled people.

That means the machine has an airtight mask and could in principle suffocate you if it malfunctions.

Ummm... no. If the CPAP machine fails, you'll just start sucking air in the holes that are normally used to expel your exhalations. (When you exhale, the air goes out through these vents, not back into the machine.)

It's significantly less airflow, and will cause you to wake up, but it's not going to suffocate you.

Such feedback from users is priceless. Thanks for it. Krisp is still in beta and we keep experimenting with different DNN models. For example we have a DNN model which maximally preserves multiple voices while removing noise. It's not shipped yet.

Re #2, one thing we noticed is that Conferencing apps themselves will distort the voice when multiple voices are overlapping. Especially when there is also noise. There is not much Krisp can do here since the stream it receives is already distorted.
Unfortunately for krisp speaker we don't control the audio stream. Imagine how many times the stream gets signal processed before krisp speaker gets it (noise cancellation in the headset, noise cancellation in RTC, codec, etc).

Re Krisp microphone, the DNN model used here is more effective since what Krisp receives is "less processed/distorted stream".

Please stay tuned, our release cycle is around 2 weeks. More quality and UX features are under way.
Does anyone have any context on what sort of internet speeds satellite internet has been benchmarked to provide. I can't imagine the latency being anywhere near good enough to do many of the high bandwidth things people use the internet for today.
This is really hard. Really hard. It can take years to get an engineer to that sweet spot.

When I build teams I usually select "builders" and "improvers." Improvers can't create new systems because they spend all day theorizing edge cases and what-ifs. Builders can't improve systems because they spend all day theorizing new systems to replace the legacy one they see as imperfect. You also have to get the right ratio of those two. Too many builders gets you a lot of brittle systems and a huge JIRA backlog; too many improvers creates stagnation.

Google prompts you (maybe even requires) to enable at least two distinct ways to get in. Now, of course it's possible you've tied both of those to your phone, but I put it to you that this makes it your fault.

If my other method works, even if it's a huge pain (e.g. maybe my other FIDO key is at home and I've flown to Tokyo) then I do still have options. Maybe not options I _love_ but that's security for you. If you have a massive house fire that both destroys your bank documents and leaves you so badly burned you can hardly talk let alone sign your name, good luck the first time you try to withdraw cash from that bank account.

If you set Advanced Protection both distinct ways have to be FIDO Security Keys, and whilst it's conceivable you could own a phone that functions as _one_ FIDO key (I would expect Apple to do this for example) it doesn't make any sense to have a single phone serving as _both_ your keys, even a non-technical person can hopefully spot that.
Apparently, if you decide to oppose someone and that person happens to be Jewish, then yes, you are now anti-semitic.

Looks like the CI builds are tied to a user/group account rather than being tied to a particular repo or branch. Bravo on that— it works much better for projects whose build is composed of assets from many small repos than the approach of Travis (and GitLab, who cloned it) of tightly coupling those things.
I never said fat pointers shouldn't be added to C. The point is that they're irrelevant to this paper, which demonstrates a weakness in a mitigation designed to improve safety of existing code.

Just about every street plus sidewalks is well over 30 feet. The question is whether there is shrubbery or trees at the edge of the street that provides a much shorter path between homes.

My home was built in a new division 2014, and it requires low maintenance front yards (all wood chips and plants/shrubs), and came with a young tree in the front yard and young trees planted on the other side of the sidewalk easement, so eventually it will be very easy for a fire to spread.

Welcome to nubtown
> Private firefighters for the wealthy and slave labor fighting the fires for the rest of us.

Actually, your assertion is wrong. It's actually slave labor fighting the fires for everyone, but those who can afford actually have the means to do the firefighting themselves.

Let's put things in perspective: would you believe that there would be no problem if "the wealthy" could not afford or use private firefighters? Why?
That would only be a meaningful comparison if we were talking about wether or not money a business doesn't have because it was spent on wages should nonetheless be counted as taxable earnings.
It's different if you have a shot at being rich in the Bay Area via a successful exit as an early employee, or if you, as in case of Berlin, get a laughable equity and instead are motivated by the "coolness" of startups and Berlin being a city for "hipsters", trading your peak effort/prime years for literally nothing. Of course, start up is a lottery in SF as well, but the potential wins are orders of magnitude higher than e.g. an amount of one-time mid-tier car purchase like it is with German startups.

The only machine I've had experience with (a parent) had an alarm for power loss. Is that somehow not standard/a requirement?

Edit: As I think about it, there was an associated oxygen machine, and that was the device with an alarm for power loss. Nevertheless, it seems like an audible alarm on a CPAP would be a really good idea.

It makes a massive difference!

If some random person tries to kill you and you blow their brains out in self defense the court will almost certainly back you up (assuming it's legitimate self defense). If random person someone tries to kill you and the police happen to be nearby they will probably intervene.

In contrast, if the state comes after you you're screwed. If you defend yourself you're even more screwed. You can't even call the cops.

You're conflating bandwidth and latency.

Not much needs both high bandwidth and low latency.

The latency has the potential to be better than the current internet backbone when going intercontinental due to straighter paths, but it'll be higher when going to your local AWS, probably.

Bandwidth is anyone's guess.
Soros donated some amount to a PAC that advocates for minority rights, and this means he hates Facebook. Got it. I'm sure he's in their offices every week telling them how to attack Zuckerburg.

He is definitely not a fan of the way social media turns people's lives into a product to be sold on the open market, but that doesn't mean you can ignore criticism of said social media companies.

But the narrative that Facebook's PR firm is pushing is that you should ignore criticism of Facebook because it's just George Soros pulling the strings. It's a dog whistle.

> I like the direction Microsoft has gone: rewrite everything in JavaScript (actually TypeScript) so that it's super portable and more easily embeddable.

That is not at all what Microsoft has done. C# LSP support is driven by their C# Roslyn compiler. Are you confusing this with their VS Code editor? LSP solves a completely different problem: MN (editorslanguages) by providing a glue layer that compilers and editors can plug into.

The whole point of these things is to keep a single source of truth; why would you (poorly) reinvent a compiler for Swift when you can just use the actual Swift compiler?
Nah. With the exception of Trump support, I agree that the "alt-right" is not the as "the right" (hence the titular "alt"), but the Soros nonsense has been a right-wing staple long before the alt-right came along, they were saying the same things about him back in the Bush years.
There's a reason that conventional design uses models that abstract away the particulars -- in this case the evolved solution isn't robust to process variation in the FPGA. It's really easy for optimization to exploit irrelevant details to give you designs that aren't very useful. I'm no skeptic when it comes to EAs -- I did my dissertation using them, and I've subsequently written one of my own -- but you have to have realistic expectations for them. They get a lot less magical when you look at them up close.
