I was able to test the Freestyle Libre device for a couple of months for a friend's research. While I don't have diabetes, it was very enlightening to have constant access to my body's glucose (and indirectly glycogen) levels. I had a near-real-time data stream.

I have practiced intermittent for over a decade, using an 18/6 split. It was so amazing to see my glucose nose dive around midday, then rise and stabilize after about an hour. I assume this was my body switching its energy source from depleted glycogen stores in the liver to lipid (fat) gluconeogenesis.

I know this isn't what the device was designed for, but this would be a complete game-changer for bespoke diet/well-being plans. After a bit of trial and error, you'd know exactly when and what to eat.

After the research ended, I honestly felt like I had lost a sense. My body was running in blind mode again. I would have continued using the device, but at retail, each sensor is around $70 USD.

I hope for a future in which wearables and wireless body monitoring devices become the norm, rather than the exception. There is so much data to be gathered.

Sucks that Abbot has killed this OSS project.
That's a great example, and you're absolutely right.

I will keep learning on my own (as well as taking a 201 course next Jan, it looks like) and try to dig myself out of this. I appreciate your response.
You haven't responded which I presume means you've finally been enlightened.
The comment you’re responding to is about cruelty, which you don’t address at all.
Most comments simply missed the point.

Power analysis attack and power glitch attacks are well-known in cryptography and electronics. The classic technique is to monitor the Vcc voltage and current on an oscilloscope and try deducing the internal operation of the chip and extract the secret, or to inject a glitch by on the Vcc rail to induce a fault. A classic side-channel attack, but these attacks required complete physical control over the hardware, and you need to put a dozen of probes on the motherboard in a lab with an elaborate setup, so it was typically not a concern unless it's a crypto key or something (if so, it would be done on a separate security chip with physical defense internally).

But this attack showed that, since every CPU and SoC now has builtin dynamic voltage scaling and power management, by using these features, you can use the CPU to launch a power analysis attack against itself, and you don't even need to touch even a single trace on the PCB, the attack can be launched remotely, and all you need is root access!

This is frightening. Who knows what is going to be the next.
The Netflix series Better Than Us has a great example of this with the character Svetlana Toropova.

Spoiler: The character is a TV host who suffers a mental breakdown. You first see her Instagram face, then you see her looking more natural with her lover (for whom she doesn't wear a wig), and finally she ends up in a psychiatric hospital where you see her without any makeup. At first I was questioning whether it was the same actor.

Agreement in the form of an anecdatum:

More than one baby-boomer woman I know has said that every time she has a male boss, things are okay, and every time she has a female boss, the whole office gradually goes insane. I'm in particular thinking of my aunt, working in banks (all of her peers were women), but I've heard it elsewhere too.

But then again, it's anecdata. I try not to take it seriously (I mean, I take it seriously about the individual's experience, but not as a description of large-scale patterns). But also when people have just-so stories about how male bosses are toxic to female underlings, I have the same "maybe that was true for you, but I don't see any reason to generalize" reaction.
http://archive.is/LiASs
That anecdote tells you precisely nothing; women who prefer working in all-female teams, etc, etc, have already been weeded out. Talking to people in the industry is sampling from a population of people who probably don't see a problem regardless of the actual situation.
Cuation-I’m surely an idiot on cosmology and physics.

Current theory is that all mass energy will eventually wind up in black holes - which will then evaporate. All mass energy will then be maximally dispersed in the entropy death of the universe. I think that means the Casimir effect is not destroying mass energy, just dispersing it to a useless state.
The whole point of the article is that a number of sites (Google, Facebook, Netflix) are returning invalid sites because the browser is Vivaldi, not to make the site work with Vivaldi, but to make Vivaldi not work. It’s entirely the developer’s fault, not the browser’s.

Every movement is an aspect of the market. That's what markets are if you took Econ 101 back in college.

The market is everything; it's you, me, your dog, your neighbor's dog, and your neighbor's dog's chew toy.

That's why a free market is so important! It's only hard to understand if you've been fed propaganda all your life.
The key part here is the statement "So we have nothing to feed the machine" which, as we now know, has turned out to be false.

We don't need people to be able to tell you how and why they made that decision, we can treat the human decision-makers as a 'black box' and learn to effectively copy the behavior of that black box without necessarily needing to understand how and why it makes these decisions. We don't need textile chemists to know exactly what it is that the buyer tests when he feels a tuft of cotton if we can replicate the process of "subconsciously weighed out of years of experience" by having a machine look at enough expert decisions that amount to literal years of experience.

They should just use ActivityPub. Sure it has problems, but federating with their biggest decentralized competitors would signal that they are serious. Improving the protocol can come next.
It starts to make sense when you assume a great number of people are out to make the most money, at all times, in any way possible.
I'm not so sure... it's really hard to trust @jack after all he's done at Twitter. The guy is a perfect liberal centrist who doesn't understand the value of open markets and competition is a well-oiled economic machine.

I'd rather he (and Twitter) prioritizes making Twitter less crap instead of doing all the PR mumbo jumbo with supposedly open standards and the like.
I like the look of ties, accumulate colorful ones, but I hate wearing them. So I prefer to wear a suit and tie to an interview, and then never again. It's a costume, for particular occasions.

And if you (as a man) don't wear a suit and tie to an interview, you have the problem women complain about - there's too large a spectrum of possibilities for clothing that someone might judge you for unfairly.

But I also like work clothing that isn't expressive; it just has to be comfortable.
So far, all of the people I know that have been boasting about their "I gave brutally honest feedback" only mean "I will tear you down at every opportunity".

It is always "brutaly honest when it comes to put people down, but weirdly enough, these same person never have positive feedback to give.

Even if it was the case, it would not be worth it. Even as a foreigner weirded out by the "everything is awesome" way of speaking in California, tearing down your colleagues is not how you build a healthy team.
npm is an outlier. Package management ecosystems of Python, C#, Go and Rust don’t suffer from such cultural problems or dependency hells.

Arguably, you can attest some of those issues to JavaScript’s immense popularity but if even Python can manage it, others can too.
> if someone smashes into my parked car and flees, most major cities won’t investigate

I've had three home break in and robberies. In no case would the police even show up to take a report. In the case where my cameras identified the perps and I tracked down and documented them trying to fence my property, and worked with other neighbors to document an actual crime syndicate that was taking orders for specific things to steal, the police would do absolutely nothing. Police are about collecting fees from "in" drug dealers in return for looking the other way, while protecting their turf against incursion from rival drug gangs. They are also involved, along with judges in the USA, with child sex trafficking. The idea we need to give up freedom and be surveilled by these people is unrealistic.

Well, in the context of the discussion about Apple, what does that matter? I’m older than Apple and I’ve owned:

- their first mainstream computer - the Apple //e

- one of the first “consumer Mac” - the LCII (with a //e card)

- one of the first PPC Macs - a 6100/60 (with a 486Dx/2 card)

- one of the first Intel Macs - the Core Duo Mac Mini.

And they’ve all been “overpriced” compared to their competitors.

As far as absurdity. The $329 10.2 inch iPad is a great value by any measurement and the cellular Apple Watch is smaller, faster, with more features than any of its competitors. The Series 3 Cellular at $330 is a great deal.

The “74” in my name should give you a clue that I am not exactly a spring chicken.

I mean, as a society we agreed "I was just doing my job" isn't any sort of ethical defense about a century ago. It really just comes down to whether or not you support what these companies do.
There are people who won't eat plant matter which could lead to new life (seeds, tubers, eggs, etc.) as it is violence to plants. Consciousness isn't a binary feature you can sort things definitely into have and have-not, it's a spectrum. There is a spectrum of decisions to be made about harming other life to survive, and I've made my choice. I'm not telling anybody to make the same choice as me, but I think many people's choices are unreasonable and more importantly not based on reason or appreciation for life.
Recessions are good for business. Plain and simple.

The media does their best to try and scare you into doing all sounds of bizarre and nonsensical things when the markets "crash." Really, if you employ basic facts and logic, the best thing to do is just business as usual.

Stop futzing with saving money and buy stuff -- that's how a market works and keeps functioning! It's Econ 101! I'm sure most of you smart fellas on Hacker News already knew that though. :)

The first two are state cases, not federal, as are many of the others. I would have thought that "the administration" would clearly refer to Federal cases.

Truly spitballing an answer to this. A car window replacement is probably a few hundred bucks ($200-500), I imagine there are some instances with some really high value (greater than $1k USD, think a laptop) takes but there's also probably a ton of small hauls (loose change, stereo) or unsuccessful takes. I'd guess the average probably couldn't be more than a thousand bucks a break in, on average. This means this back of the napkin math puts car break-ins in that area costing probably not more than $30M, not including some insurance overheads and what not.

So judging by off the napkin math on costs and optimistically assuming stronger enforcement would lead to 50% less car break ins, if strong enforcement costs more than $15 million is it worth it? When does the cost of enforcement become inconsequential to the results? A good question to debate on either side IMO.
Combined with APNR and patterns over time, yes.
I don't particularly like to wear a suit and would never want to wear one day-to-day.

But I feel vaguely threatened by people who penalize you for wearing one, because it seems like a Schelling point, which is a useful and comfortable thing. It's one less problem that you have to solve to get hired.

this is hardly surprising. a ride to SFO from my home using uber/lift is about $23. $19 using supershuttle. And I don't have to schedule anything or take a long van ride while other passengers are being dropped off.

Very unfortunately for the mom & pop supershuttle franchisees, though, with van payments and a dried up source of income.
Very naive of you to think that.

Facebook doesn't need to backdoor your encrypted messages to use WhatsApp for ads, there's still a lot of interesting data they can get based just on the metadata of who you converse with.

And that's not paranoia, it's openly something that Facebook is doing right now[0].

> In a blogpost, WhatsApp announced it would begin sharing names and phone numbers with its parent company, to allow its more than 1 billion users “to communicate with businesses that matter to you too” – like notifications from airlines, delivery services or your bank, for example.

> Facebook will also use that data to make friend suggestions and combine that data with the reams of information it has already collected so that it can tailor ads even more specifically to your interests.

If you think that Facebook isn't mining WhatsApp data for ads, you aren't paying enough attention to Facebook. I don't think they've backdoored the E2E encryption (though it wouldn't surprise me if in the future they started doing on-device keyword detection for ads, which wouldn't technically require them to insert a backdoor). But it doesn't really matter, they don't need to go that far.

> Everyone does this. Everyone will continue doing this. There is absolutely nothing morally wrong with that status quo.

This is how all of these conversations always go. Privacy advocates are paranoid crazy people, until it turns out that companies are spying on you. Then suddenly the argument is that the status quo is fine and the controls are great and everyone always knew they were being recorded, and why is everyone making a big deal about it?

If you're frustrated that people come up with crazy theories about Facebook turning on their microphones, those theories might exist because smart TVs and mobile devices already use audio to track you[1]. Every time that someone raises an alarm on a privacy violation, and people tell them they're paranoid, and then the paranoid people turn out to be right, the theories about tracking get a little bolder in response.

If advertisers want the paranoia to stop, maybe they should stop giving people reasons to be paranoid. The current state of privacy conspiracy theories is entirely, 100% the fault of the advertising industry and other mass data-collection industries and government departments.

I believe it has a lot to do with how visible the suffering is. If it's happening right in front of you and you can see it, hear it, etc. then it triggers a much stronger empathetic response than if it's separated by multiple layers of abstraction, like our food is.

At the end of the day, we'll always find ways to distance ourselves from hypocrisy when it's too inconvenient to confront it, while championing idiosyncratic causes as beacons of morality to outshine the sea of suffering.

yes! We use most of these for a pretty large enterprise webapp.

> It's a pernicious accident of history that we are taught to accept references to mutable objects as normal, inevitable, and desirable in most CS curricula. It is much easier to develop, debug, and maintain immutable data structures instead

Except for trees and graphs and the like. immutability makes working with these much more complicated.
Excellent! Besides maybe Geoffrey Hinton, I can't think of a better person to represent A.I. to laymen.

Say what you will about Wolfram and his personality, but the man is an icon of approachable and engaging science/math writing.

Heck, once I started reading A New Kind of Science I could barely put it down -- I carried the damn thing on the subway even! Much better than Jane Austen anyway...

> "Ring will not release customer information in response to government demands without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us."

Ring's own statement reflects what the OP stated: that Ring will turn over evidence when given a subpoena.

Ring also released a contradictory claim to what the police said Ring made available to them. Either the police are lying about a process they seem to know well and have used many times before, or Ring is lying in their statement to Ars.
I would really like to be able to apply for this position but I don't meet the GS-13 requirement I bet. If they called me tomorrow to do this job for $76K a year I would do it (assuming moving expenses were paid for). The thing that gets me was I when I desperate for work everyone told me to apply for a government job (army, navy, etc.) but it was always experience, experience, experience and a connection. I got experience now but without a connection I know applying is pointless. I even tried to get an army job with a connection once but they turned me down because I didn't have experience.

I'm more interested in the benefits than the salary at this particular point in my life.
This type of architecture makes more sense when you use it to let the user give arbitrary names and types to the functions, as with e.g. KHASH_INIT(my_t). This version with #ifdef seems a little cargo-culty since the result isn’t as polymorphic as you’d get with klib (which afaict kicked off the header-only craze) so the advantage over a traditional two-file setup is not obvious. (Of course, I don’t know why you need more polymorphism in a small http server!)

As noted above, it avoids version incompatibility by essentially forcing static linking. But most developers would statically link a small two-file library anyway, so it’s a moot point. C isn’t supposed to have training wheels.
"And as for an organization who says: "Absolutely NO public code of yours on Github or you're fired." First, who are these orgs?"

Well, Fortune 500 companies. But your caricature isn't a literal description. They force you to sign a long document in legalese that says they own everything you make from when you're hired to when you leave, and then people basically ignore it except in very unusual circumstances, because do you really think a company like that has employees that do anything interesting outside their job? Nor is HR going to go above and beyond if nothing makes them. But the agreements exist, and hang over you, and have a chilling effect.
It's extremely useful to isolate people from the wider community, and if you do it properly it's not detectable. It definitely has its place, but it's just a tool and can be misused like any other tool.

If you get a guy creepily flirting with every female that signs up and making them leave the site, hide his comments on profiles of females he's not friends with, if you've got a spammer that is trying to give away 'free trump gear', then make their posts only visible to them, if you've got a group trying to police your site by looking for 'socks' just make all their posts invisible to other members etc.

Straight up banning people only works as a last resort, they'll trash your network to anyone who listens, or worse set up a rival etc.

"A human brain can learn to recognize cat pictures given a relatively small amount of input versus a convolutional neural net." is not really accurate, this is an apples and oranges comparison.

A human brain that's already learned to see and recognize objects can learn to recognize cat pictures from a small amount of input data, and a neural network that's trained to see and recognize objects (which explicitly didn't include cats) can also learn to recognize cat pictures from the same amount of input data. One-shot learning or few-shot learning is a thing and gets reasonable results.

And a human brain that's learning to see "from scratch" (i.e. infants) can't learn from a few pictures, it needs huge amounts (many months) of rich image data - i.e. not passive but interactive/experimental, which is known to be neccessary for visual system development in mammals (I recall a bunch of cat experiments) and is known to have much, much better sample efficiency for artificial systems.

So as far as I know there's no good reason to assume that human brain can learn cat pictures from less input than neural networks. What we're seeing and misattributing to the "learning capabilities" here is actually the effectiveness of transfer learning, transferring knowledge and skills everyone's learned as a kid to new (but actually very related) problems.
Very smart and original approach. I’d love to see a instructional video on how you implemented it in Racket or the sorce code when it goes open source. Will be keeping an eye on it for sure
How is that different.from anything else in C or C++? What does that have to do with single header libraries? Preprocessor isolation is just now possible with C++ modules.
