> an interesting thought experiment for meat-eaters: Why not stop eating beef?

I know that this was likely meant for an internal thought experiment, rather than everyone who reads it responding. But personally: I eat beef as part of ~1.5 meals per week. I could cut this down to one meal every two weeks, with a bit of effort. Eliminating it entirely would mean eliminating certain food products that I enjoy that don't have a comparable vegetarian alternative. Reducing chicken or pork would be more difficult, particularly because there is very poor availability of tofu at my local grocery stores.

The most interesting thing I identified from the thought experiment: my eating habits have changed pretty dramatically from the pandemic. I've gotten in the habit of eating homemade food for about 19 out of 21 meals per week (i.e. i never buy lunch out), which results in far less meat consumption. And far higher egg consumption

Side story: I have relatives that raise their own beef, in very small amounts (one per year) as a side-effect of running a dairy farm. Their farm is small scale, about 40 milking, with surface treatment of manure runoff (constructed wetland). No water supply issues where they are. Poor quality land (very shallow topsoil) wouldn't be any good for commercial crop production. They are pastured most of the summer, all hay/silage is harvested on site, with additional feed/salt provided in the other months (I should ask them where their feed comes from). The reason they are able to stay in business is because there is a stable price for milk in Canada (supply management), which results in mildly higher consumer cost for dairy products, but a ridiculous amount of political controversy from right wing political parties.
Yes, I also thought that part is fishy. They also said "don't worry, no passwords were visible" (I don't think any tech person would expect them to store passwords in plain text), then continue saying that email address, phone number and possibly other personal info was accessible. So, the answer should be yes?

Also, the initial question is about "me". I also never considered that my own data would have been accessible in this attack, I thought they would be discussing about the targeted accounts.
How long until we can get some kind of open AI project to take in incoming bad quality voice and output clear noiseless human speech (in our, or whoever's voice we want), so podcasters don't have to buy expensive microphones and try to soundproof their rooms anymore?

Metal is extremely buggy if you're pushing the state of the art. Patrick Walton has run into a number of very serious driver bugs in porting Pathfinder to Metal (he can reliably panic the kernel just by running shader code), and I've seen some as well, though today I'm working in Vulkan.

I'm hopeful for WebGPU in the future, not just for its features and expected cross-platform support, but because I expect a pretty thorough test suite to emerge, holding developers' feet to the fire to make their drivers actually work.

95% of the RHI code is in there: https://github.com/OSSIA/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score...

- Window: https://github.com/OSSIA/score/blob/master/src/plugins/score...

- Renderer: https://github.com/OSSIA/score/blob/master/src/plugins/score...

- Example of a very simple node which renders a texture generated by a std::function: https://github.com/OSSIA/score/blob/master/src/plugins/score...

It was mostly written at my Ballmer peak during last year's christmas / new year's eve though :-) so lacks code quality a fair bit.

There's a graph of nodes. The graph is walked from every output node (screen surfaces) to create a matching "rendered node" (pretty much a render pass). For every node "model", a node "renderer" will be created, which contains uniforms, GPU buffer (QRhiBuffer) & texture (QRhiTexture) handles, etc. and a QRhiGraphicsPipeline (the state in which the GPU must be to render a node, the VAOs, shader programs, layout, culling, blending, etc etc)

Then every time the output node renders due to vsync or whatever, the associated chain of node (render passes) is executed in order.

I recommend looking at the RHI manual tests in the qt source, they show the usage in a very straightforward manner:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/tests/manual/rhi?...

I’ve looked in to eating more non meat meals. What I struggled with is getting the macros right.

For example to hit 190g of protein a day, eating vegan my carbs would be way up compared to my current diet. At the moment I’m trying to drop body fat and from dexa scans/metabolic test they recommend I keep my protein high, increase fats and try to reduce carbs. I’ve tried doing the macros on a few vegan recipes but struggled to get the numbers right without increasing calories which I can’t do when trying to drop body fat.

When I have more flexibility in calories i.e bulking some of the vegan recipes look quite good as calorie dense when you add beans, lentils, nuts, oils etc. I reckon I’ll do better on this than when I was eating 5kg of beef a week as the dexa scan then was terrible with high visceral fat.

I don’t get it. If I stop being a customer of the ISP, I lose whatever I was paying for from them. If I hate spending the money, I can change my email address. At a generous 10 minutes per change, it’ll cost me less than 4 hours to change 20 of them. 4 hours to save 90 pounds a year or 4500 pounds over the rest of my life seems straightforward.

Not much different than the classic work of changing a phone number or mailing address when you move. I can’t imagine asking the new owner of my old house to keep getting mail there.

For this reason I would never use an email address provided by a telco.

You missed out one critical element of a highly contagious bioweapon: you have to be able to protect your own population. Otherwise it's a self-own.

(This is why nobody has really used bioweapons in warfare to date, with the exception of some questionable reports that the USSR had a really lethal weaponized smallpox strain on some of their ICBM warheads, as a balance-of-terror multiplier.)

While this doesn't prove that COVID19 isn't a bioweapon, it strongly suggests that it got loose long before whoever designed it anticipated. Unless, of course, it was developed by the world-leading Vietnamese biological warfare institute (hey, look at their fatality figures)! (That was sarcasm, by the way.)

The whole idea of "tracking" is to collect data from users to 1: make them identifiable 2: add more data to a collection about them 3: run profiling on that data 4: manipulate them based on assumptions about the profile.

Looks like 1961 is the oldest example identified. The earlier quotes have a fundamentally different character.

As "encouragement" goes, it is sometimes cited that the Soviet NKVD had a quota to shoot down the ten percent of their own infantry who were furthest from the front line of any battle. As might be expected, it is hard to verify, but it would have discouraged reluctance to advance.

What is well established is that being taken prisoner was considered desertion, and soldiers released after the war, or liberated by advances, were routinely executed or sent to the GULag.

Maildir, as opposed to emails stored in one big file, does cause some disk space to get wasted, but in past 10 years, it is immaterial. Even million empty emails, each taking 4kB of disk space, would take only 4GB in total. The small files aren't a concern for saving disk space: the big ones are.

Maildir has the advantage that searching, adding and deleting emails is very fast, much faster than if those operations were made on single big file. Worth it.

The "spreading indoors" argument that Bret Weinstein made was mind-numbingly stupid. I know he has a degree in biology, but this is just embarrassing.

He's making an argument that this virus has been selected in a lab for a specific transmission mechanism. That means that the virus would have to have undergone many generations of animal-to-animal transmission in a lab. There's no reason why a virus would adapt to transmit well if it were being studied in cell culture - because there's no transmission involved.

So Weinstein's theory requires a large-scale operation in which scientists keep large numbers of animals in the lab, and allow them to periodically come into contact in order to possibly infect one another. This has to go on for many generations, with the researchers constantly bringing in new animals to be exposed, until the virus "forgets" how to transmit outdoors. Where does Weinstein suppose this massive research operation occurred? The people he's alleging did this research are well known (and highly respected) scientists who publish their research in top international journals like Nature. Why did they keep silent about this massive research program, and how is it that none of their international colleagues had any idea about it?

Meanwhile, there's an obvious reason why the virus might transmit better indoors than outdoors: many respiratory viruses do. That's one of the explanations for the existence of "flu season" - people spend more time indoors during the winter. Indoors, people are closer to one another and there isn't as much air circulation.

You don't have to invent completely unsupported theories about scientists carrying out large-scale, secret animal infection experiments in order to explain why a respiratory virus might transmit better indoors than outdoors. But Bret Weinstein is doing that, because he likes attention. I was on his side in the whole Evergreen saga, but now that he's become a celebrity, it's gotten to his head and he's saying stupid things to get attention.
Absolutely. Sometimes it feels like some projects want nothing more than stick their tentacles into your business layer. I don't have a lot of OCD but that sort of thing definitely triggers it.

Example: object-database mappers making you put database-specific things into your domain entities, or innocently implementing the unit of work pattern. It's right there, all you have to do is let us in!
It might be a stupid question but, aside from the obvious benefits of saving bandwidth by omitting useless noise in transport, doesn't it make sense to employ these technologies server-side? One could maybe make Jitsi or BigBlueButton use similar technologies? It would make it much more ubiquitous, better platform support (would work on mobile or low CPU/GPU clients) and also save on system provisioning as maybe the neural net could be utilized better by running for different audio sources concurrently
If you believe you must use your workplace itself as a sounding board for your ideology, you’re doing a lot more to help evil triumph than the people treating a job as a job.

For example, your coworkers are not obligated to share your moral beliefs, convictions, or political opinions of current events. Making a workplace inherently confrontational in regards to these subjective, private opinions is seriously harmful.

I am 100% for your participation in activism, protests, and social reform. Just don’t bring it to work.

If you think such an attitude is somehow tacitly entrenching the status quo, you need to step back and consider that you, not the other person keeping politics out of work, are being bigoted and narrow-minded towards them, not the other way around.
Imagine being so mad about being disliked for your bad opinions that you make a website like this.

The ultimate irony of conservative thought is that even when they hold all levers of government ultimately they are just mad nobody likes them.

And this article [1] on my city's airport from 2011 on why landing the A380 was such a big deal. And why they had to spend $4MM to upgrade a single gate. It was a fairly big deal at the time because you couldn't plug a A380 into a 747 slot. And it was almost 3 years after production before KMIA could accept a A380 as normal service.

Is the magnet link one you created with Instant.io/WebTorrent, or is it off a torrent site? I'm wondering because of those tracker URLs I can see in the magnet URI.

If it's the latter, it's not going to work because the torrent needs to be seeded via WebTorrent(i.e. WebRTC). The desktop version of WebTorrent can download both regular torrents and web torrents because it's not limited to WebRTC for peer connections(whereas a browser is).

Funnily enough I'm normally the one casting doubt on medical science research on HN. So, I somewhat agree with you, though my issue with the mainstream academic funding and peer review system is that it too often sidelines research that may be promising but may threaten the status quo and its beneficiaries (most commonly pharmaceutical companies), or cannot attract sufficient funding because it offers no path to large profits.

With that said, it's the best system we currently have, and where someone doubts the validity of the results of an accepted study, the onus is on them to explain why they should be questioned.

> The research they linked does not provide evidence for hypnotherapy as an effective solution, and itself states it as needing more research. See the top comment above.

Wikipedia is a notoriously unreliable and biased source of information on medical topics even slightly outside the establishment, and those statements mentioned in that top comment do not disprove efficacy, just point to the need for more research, which is always true for this field.

> So, I think for some people Hypnotherapy may work.

Great! So do I. No treatment like this works for 100% of people who try it, but for those for whom it does work, we should be very pleased.

> But it may be risky to pay a lot of money upfront for the therapy.

That's why this company's apps are great; they cost very little, compared to 1:1 professional hypnotherapy or other forms of therapy, and are paid monthly or quarterly and can be discontinued any time. There's even a 7-day free trial and a money-back guarantee if you pay via their website.
