I'm of the notion that there is no better weight loss method than counting calories, that all other methods are either deleterious or gimmicks which merely shroud eating less calories. The problem is that people want an easy (and fast) way of losing weight. well, counting calories is easy, but it's not fast. I believe (although I have nothing nothing but personal anecdotes and reasoning to back this up) that it's more sustainable too. I believe it's more sustainable because you're building a habit of eating healthier foods. It encourages you to eat more filling, nutrient dense foods and opens your eyes to foods that aren't. Whereas with IF 'eat whatever you want is such and such window' doesn't teach you what foods to eat, it doesn't show you what you're putting into your body, and it definitely doesn't teach you portion control. And as another commenter pointed out, it risks putting your body's metabolism into shock because you are literally starving yourself. Of course you will lose weight when you starve yourself! But you can't starve yourself forever, and once you stop, the weight will most likely come back.

Calorie counting on the other hand, is a knob to turn, it's a parameter that you can adjust. The more data you track, the better. You can weigh exactly what you want to, you just need to be persistent. View it like washing your hands after using the restroom: log every thing you eat, right after you eat it. The rest will follow.
Reminds me of an indie game called creeper world. The first version of this was released almost ten years ago as a flash game. It came with a random map generator (and all versions of that game have done that ever since). One genius twist was that the free version of the game had a map that refreshed daily. So for nearly three years, part of my morning routine was completing that map. That game had a lively community of people coming back every day to play that map. Sometimes it would be over in seconds, sometimes it would be near impossible. I eventually bought the game and later versions and that broke my routine. Also flash of course stopped being a thing.

It was a very simple game but something about it was just ridiculously engaging and addictive. v3 has a lot of user generated maps (5K+) as well as automatically generated ones and I've been playing this for close to a thousand hours according to Steam since it was released years ago. Judging from the forums and the continuous additions to the user generated maps, I'm not alone. V4 is close to completion and looks like another winner.

I read the worst degradation was at high temperature combined with high state of charge.

Looking at the volt, it seems to battery thermal management plus it only uses 65% of the battery capacity (similar to the 20%..80% tesla recommendation). I guess they can manage the battery capacity conservatively when there's a gas motor available.
Interestingly this also exists in the reverse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pseudo-French_words_ad...

This doesn’t sound entirely right to me. lead acid batteries do get damaged by deep discharges

even “deep cycle” lead acid batteries aren’t supposed to go to full discharge. from https://www.solar-electric.com/learning-center/deep-cycle-ba...

> Deep cycle batteries are designed to be discharged down as much as 80% time after time and have much thicker plates. The major difference between a true deep cycle battery and others is that the plates are SOLID Lead plates - not sponge. This gives less surface area, thus less "instant" power like starting batteries need. Although these can be cycled down to 20% charge, the best lifespan vs cost method is to keep the average cycle at about 50% discharge.

Non-native speakers are more easily recognizable in their language use when they need to use proper vocabulary during emotional conversations.

My favorite mistake (made by yours truly):

"I feel upset."

"Oh, I also feel angry."

"I said that I feel upset..."

"Yea, angry, me too"

"It's not the same."

"Wait, what? How isn't it?"

Emotional conversations with a native English speaker are harder because of this. I learned to get a bit better at it as my SO speaks Dutch as well.

Having the same conversation in Dutch with the same words and sentences yielded very different discussions. IMO, the research that people talk and think more rationally in a non-native language rings true.
Given that on current trends, a summer like last year's (the hottest on record) is going to be the average one in 2-3 decades, much of rural Australia is clearly going to be practicably uninhabitable within current lifetimes. Perhaps fortunately, the forthcoming regional/rural flight isn't going to be a massive upheaval in most of Australia given how concentrated in the capital cities we already are. QLD however is fucked.
Part of it could be estimated to be stopping, parking (or drive thruing); accumulating several minutes.

> McDonald's around me have already replaced cashiers with kiosks

My local McD just got them, as part of an extensive remodel. By "extensive", I mean that early this year they tore the whole place down and built a new one there, which opened near the end of October.

I've used the kiosks when I can, but for most of November I had to use the human cashiers. Why? Because the kiosks insisted on applying a "discount" that actually raised the price! The cash registers used by the human cashiers would also apply that discount, but the interface there allows the cashier to remove it. The kiosks (and the mobile app which also applies it) do not allow removal.

On the one hand, I am impressed that their software is automatically applying discounts instead of making the customer manually ask for it. I've seen at other places things like a parent order a burger and a drink and their child order fries and a drink, and unless the cashier notices that this is cheaper as a combo (burger, fries, drink) plus another drink, it will be rung up at full price.

On the other hand, come on! It's pretty obvious that if you are going to be looking for discounts to apply, the software needs to have a check to make sure that the total with the discount is not more than the undiscounted price and if it is not apply the discount.

This situation came about at my local McD because to celebrate being at the same location for 40 years, they rolled back prices on several items to '80s level for the month of November. Among the items rolled back were Sausage McMuffins, to $0.79.

Sausage McMuffins and Sausage Burritos are part of the "any 2 for $3" discount. So if your order included two Sausage McMuffins, or included one Sausage McMuffin with one Sausage Burrito, it would decide to apply the 2 for $3. In both cases that raised the price.

A couple times that month I wanted two Sausage McMuffins and a Sausage Burrito. To order that at the kiosk or on the app and get the correct discount ($0.79 for the McMuffins, regular price for the Burrito) could only be done by doing it is 3 separate orders! (Well, I suppose it could be done on one order and then selecting cash payment...that prints a receipt that you take to a human cashier, who can then recall the order at their register and collect payment. I assume that they can modify the order at that point to remove the 2 for $3).
I'm actually having a lot of fun with this.
Eh, like anything there are good C++ codebases and bad C++ codebases. As much as HN loves to hate on C++, it's definitely possible to write good, clean, modern C++ that avoids the majority of these issues. For instance, variadic templates in C++ wouldn't have the issue described in this article.

In practice, I've had far less issues working with modern C++ codebases than with modern Java codebases.

Imho that's trying to solve a symptom, not the actual problem.

Why does society tolerate &^%$ jobs in the first place? Why not strive to make jobs non-&^%$?

Instead, it somehow has become completely normalized that these kinds of jobs exist, and anybody who doesn't want to work them is considered "too entitled", which all goes back to this notion of "work as a virtue".

And while the idea that this experience might help change something from the desk job, the reality is most people will just be glad to be having their desk job, with a lot having a mindset of "I went through the &^%$ jobs to get here, everybody else should have to suffer like I did!".
That is something that is extremely different from a tool assisted speedrun, and I'm still not sure how it would benefit you to swap the RNG instead of making a bot on the original.
Years ago I just accepted being "hangry", and "that 3PM feeling" as a consequence of being thin. With low body fat, of course I can't skip a meal and I need to drink a bottle of Gatorade while I sit at my desk and code. And I certainly need that late night snack to ensure I don't wake in the middle of the night in hunger.

But in reality, thin with ~10% body fat equates to enough calories for 20+ days for most people. What I lacked was metabolic flexibility and that's what I gained after praticing TRE (10:30AM - 5:30PM M-F) for the past months. A few times a month I go 24hours with just 100 calories from a Keto coffee drink and feel fantastic. And I am actually gaining weight / muscle mass for the first time in a decade.

I wish I had started doing this sooner. Being able to skip meals and being free from the leash of food feels like a super power.
I remember when Cuil launched about 10 years ago they suggested that 1% of the search market was worth a billion dollars so it's big money if you can get inroads. Of course search is probably less important now than it was back then, with discovery happening on social media more and more, but the internet as a whole is much larger than 10 years ago so I wouldn't be surprised if 1% is worth more now days.
I’m arguing that the restaurants aren’t especially profitable and their margins are thin. It’s a bit like a rental property, in the sense that you have to have more than a couple in order to make much money at it.
It’s not a matter of a few hundred dollars a day. It’s a matter of whether the decision to replace workers is NPV positive. It’s clearly only so up until the point they are at now with the kiosks.

In some ways they are more "forget about it" than lead acid -- lithium battery life is measured in cycles, rather than time. Your lead acid battery will be dead in 5 years, but your lithium batteries can last for 5,000+ cycles, even more if the cells are intelligently discharged.

As for cold temperatures -- less current can be drawn from each cell. In those cases, you can add more cells to still perform adequately in the cold. And this may even fit in the same form factor as the existing lead acid battery, because lithium batteries are physically smaller.

McDonald's was my first job in high school. I took it because I wanted to get away from being slave labor to my parents who owned a liquor store.

> Why does society tolerate &^%$ jobs in the first place? Why not strive to make jobs non-&^%$?

We do strive, which is why we have non-shit jobs now. After the advent of agriculture, overwhelming majority of people has worked mundane, tiring, repetitive and straining jobs. It’s only recent increases in technology allowed us to produce immense amounts of wealth, finally allowing huge swaths of population to enjoy light, interesting and fun jobs. We still have lots of shit jobs out there, but don’t worry, we’re working on that.

Wow:

> 1. Much work in AI has the ``look ma, no hands'' disease. Someone programs a computer to do something no computer has done before and writes a paper pointing out that the computer did it. The paper is not directed to the identification and study of intellectual mechanisms and often contains no coherent account of how the program works at all.

(It seems this was written in about 1973, published online in 1993. I infer this because the article being reviewed appeared in 1973, and this one speaks of 1978 as being in the future).
This could be part of highschool. Large swathes of content are ultimately useless and forgotten, there's room to force an off campus job at a dominoes or elsewhere. The main downside would be that these students would be competing against people who actually need the money.
As of yet, actual habitat destruction by humans has wiped out far more species across the board than climate change has. Perhaps that will change some time in the future.
Nines | Software Engineers | Full-Time | Palo Alto, CA

Nines is the first-of-its-kind radiology service. Our radiologists and engineers are on a mission to build world-class tools to enable the best radiologists to deliver the best patient care. We’re co-founded by David Stavens, former co-founder and CEO of Udacity, and co-founder of Stanford University’s self-driving car team (acquired as the foundation for Waymo). With the support of iconic VCs Accel Partners (early Facebook, Spotify, Dropbox, Slack investor) and 8VC (Oscar Health, Oculus, Hyperloop), and partnerships with several of the top health systems in the entire US, we are bringing the power of modern AI to radiology.

Key to building a host of clinical AI algorithms is our machine learning development environment. Our Machine Learning Operations (ML Ops) team is responsible for managing this environment and optimizing the velocity of development for machine learning models. We accomplish this by operationalizing all aspects of the model development lifecycle. This includes examining pain points of the development cycle and looking for opportunities to automate workstreams by building services with clean APIs. As the ML Ops team executes on reducing our key metric, the time-to-model-development, we empower our machine learning engineers to deliver the highest quality models in healthcare.

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the ML Ops team, you will have an exciting opportunity to apply your knowledge of service-oriented architectures towards creating world-class machine learning systems in a regulated healthcare space.

This is likely not what happened. Metabolic syndrome is not a thing that occurs after such a short fast unless you were absurdly thin to begin with and/or drank copious amounts of water and flushed electrolytes away. But even a basic level of research would have alerted you to the trivial ways of avoiding electrolyte depletion.
It's pretty obvious that @freeflight mean these jobs don't necessarily have to be shit.

They can be low / lower pay and still be a fairly reasonable place to work with fairly reasonable people to work with.

But, if we accept that work conditions fit some kind of natural distribution / bell curve, it's probably unrealistic to believe there will be no shit jobs.

Random harmful mutations have happened all day every day as long as life has existed. We are basically designed for dealing with it. But worst case, we can eliminate harmful mutations from being passed on to subsequent generations through screening. I wouldn't worry about the long term problems of that, it's fairly easy to solve.

What I would worry about is:

a) Short term suffering from failed experiments.

b) Reduced genetic diversity as everyone scrambles to get "the best" genes.
