Giving the current and coming advances, like organ growing/printing for examples, I think we're in a presence of a few young and rich who will make it there, and giving the advances in the 22nd century I think some of them would even make much further.
"Many companies know this is highly effective because they'll set up such teams when a very important initiative comes up."

I have been on a few such teams. The funny thing is that after the project has finished management will usually pad themselves on the shoulders, talk about the value of focused teams and immediately disband the team and go back to micromanagement mode.
Saying "all calories are the same" ignores a few really important things.

1) It ignores the processes involved in burning fats, sugars, and proteins, which can heavily impact where your body prioritizes getting its energy (or storing it).

2) It ignores other health impacts of 'calories' such as blood glucose levels, which absolutely will depend on what it is you're eating and not just the calorie count. Sugars, fats, and carbs are also processed in different parts of your body - so you might be following a "calories in calories out" and giving yourself non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

3) It conflates calories, as measured via completely artificial process, with human digestion.
Vanity, Vendors, and Vulnerabilities
Hands down the most fascinating part of this thread is the number of comments from people saying "in the US x is different" or "in State y it works this way". You go on reading and you see people contradicting each other because of course, different States, different solutions; different towns, different solutions.

It goes to show how much people think they know their country, to what degree they believe to know everything there is to know about their culture, history, and surroundings. Really though, we know very little despite what we tell ourselves or others.

I guess the message is: travel a little people. Even if it's just to the neighboring State for crying out loud.
Sure it can be interpreted multiple ways and like with any idea, there will always be some people that offended.

Some people may find it obvious but some other people can find it helpful.
For introductory learning about modern CPU design, Inside the Machine book by Jon Stokes is really good.

I don't think this is the first research to show this. What I have seen though is that time restricted feeding (specifically where you eat in the morning, not at night), can positively impact blood glucose levels.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31151228/ (First I found via search, not sure if it's the initial one I'd heard of)

That may not necessarily impact weight loss/ gain directly, but it's certainly critical for health.
I must have misunderstood your earlier comment then. I thought you were saying that Searle responded to ”the system does understand” argument by saying “OK, but it’s still not conscious.” Now I think you are saying his response was “no, it doesn’t understand, it merely passes the Turing test; it can’t understand because it’s clearly not conscious.” Which again, seems to beg the question.
U-haul charged me three times for the same thing. I spent several hours on the phone with u-haul trying to get them to reverse it. Ultimately they said the agreed I was triple charged but they couldn't reverse it and I had to contact my bank

It took EIGHT MONTHS and SEVEN phone calls with my bank to get them to charge back. And haul fought me every step of the process when they're the ones that told me to go to my bank. U-haul went as far as to straight up lie to my bank. I'm surprised they didn't forge documents with all the shit they were trying

I remember in 2006 when Core processors were launched - when AMD was the top leader of desktop processors. There was a huge fanbase rooting for Intel to beat AMD in some sort of a competitive fanboy arena. Conroe architecture and the introduction of tick-tock methodology from Intel was absolutely incredible and totally destroyed the competition.

The tides have turned, so perhaps I should now start preparing to root for Intel :)

> modern javascript ecosystem.

I recently was convinced to start using a packer (webpack, parcel) and was blown away by the hoops people have to jump through to make stuff work. I've been spending an hour or so a day coming up to speed for the past few weeks, and every yarn/npm package I installed had some kind of error/warning that required a hack, or version contortion. I naively thought I could webpack with electron+vue+pug+ts and was soundly smacked down repeatedly, even after trying the boilerplate from each components' docs.

I appreciate what the developers are trying to do, I really do. Only, it is too many cooks + death by a thousand cuts. As I read through pages of closed-but-not-really GitHub issues for each package, sometimes going back years and years, it feels like a constant stream of hacking that erodes the well-intentioned first versions.

> but a bozo like me does not. This is actually causing me stress irl.

Me too! I dread package upgrades because it can instantly turn into an all-hands-on-deck emergency, and these are just the stand-alone packages, not all the ones I mentioned above.
Priming has nothing to do with cleaning. It’s higher octane fuel. If your car Isn’t designed for higher octane fuel it will run like garbage. The whole point of high octane fuel is that it requires a higher temperature to ignite. If your car Isn’t designed for it it’s most likely only going to partially burn the fuel.
I'm replying to a comment that specifically said "customers" in plural. If you are in a situation with one customer, then really, you're not even talking about a company-and-customers relationship anymore, that's more like a consulting or contracting relationship and is a whole different ball of wax.
It was a new version (with significant nasty surprises), albeit .7.0 instead of .0.0.
Rust's im[1] and rpds[2] crates are refcounted pointers to immutable data structures, but support mutable operations on &mut instances. When an instance is cloned, it merely creates another pointer. When an instance is modified, it uses Arc::make_mut() to only clone each tree node if it has other users. This approach has runtime overhead, but makes nested updates (foo[0][0].attr = 1) as simple as mutable structures.

This somewhat resembles immer.js (uses a proxy around an immutable structure which records updates). Contrast this approach to Clojure transients (whose children don't magically become transient), and whatever Haskell does (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24740384).

I don’t understand: If we use the Venturi effect, that means we’re pulling air and mixing it with gasoline.

Are we really pre-mixing air+gasoline into the tank? Isn’t that a much higher risk of sudden explosion, compared to a tank with only carburant and no comburant?
Except you don’t get to keep the job. Firing your boss means changing your job, firing your customer does not.
Maybe with this spooky satellites will actually be able to read license plate numbers on cars. Grrrreeeaaaaattttt.
Algebraic data types have runtime case information, and won't let you reinterpret the underlying bits of a binary buffer between types. I think grandparent meant they wanted pointer casts, unions, reinterpret_cast, or transmute.
If you were just dealing with commodity items and trustworthy customers you might be able to get this to work. But I think in the real world it would break down quickly.

First problem: When do you credit the refund?

If you credit it right away, what happens if the customer subsequently loses the item? Even assuming you can simply rebill them, you've still pissed off the new purchaser who was expecting that item to be available.

If you don't issue the refund until the new buyer confirms receipt (which aligns some incentives of your returner) then what happens if it takes months to sell? Defer too long and you've pissed off the old customer and effectively reneged on your return policy (not to mention forced them to store your item without compensation).

Next problem: How do you apportion blame if old customer says they sent it in good condition and new customer says it arrived damaged? You have no way of knowing who's right. Do you just write it off?

My gut says you'll run into more issues as you flesh this out. e.g. The "speediness" of your brand will tarnish when customers drag their heels to ship things out (sorry, I'm on vacation, will have to wait until i get back). Human nature will tempt people to "borrow" the item while they're holding onto it for you. If you thought inventory control was hard with a bunch of warehouses fully under your control, imagine what it'll be like after you crowdsource it out to a bunch of consumers.

Amazon already let's you just keep low-value items that cost more to ship back than they're worth. The upside of your idea to Amazon seems small, and I see so much opportunity for abuse.

If you think you can solve the challenges, maybe you can launch a decentralized inventory startup. Would be worth a ton if you do manage to get it to work.
And i pointed out the issue with saying it disrespectful.

>In addition, I have successfully eaten the “correct” amount of calories for years and years and still gained weight

So that means you are not eating the correct amount of calorie. But i guess you knew that since you use the word correct in quote.
Why? Intel has proven when they have the lead they abuse the consumer. Until AMD displays the same behavior, long live the king.
No, the main point of high octane fuel is to be resistant to higher compression ratios so it doesn’t pre-detonate. Spark plugs have no issues igniting it.

What op is referring to is additives that are added in by some gas dealers to the high octane fuel to upsell you. “Techron” is one I recall seeing at Chevron IIRC.
Hahaha yes this is great. Similar with “Oh, you’re poor? Have you tried making more money?”
Completely plausible with enough movie pyrotechnics.
Two out of three of these points seem to be primarily polemic. I am not aware of anyone (okay, maybe outside an insane fringe) who, in any meaningful way, is seeking to "forbid trans people to exist" - how do you not allow someone to exist, except by, you know, stopping them from existing, i.e. killing them? Instead, the fights, and cancellations of those deviating from the approved positions, tend to focus on issues such as whether people should be compelled to refer to trans people by their preferred pronouns, or whether trans people should be allowed access to their preferred gendered facilities (be it bathrooms or battered-women shelters). Do trans people die or pop out of existence when you refer to them by the wrong pronoun? If so, that would be a whole new level of fragility (a word I gather social justice advocates really like to bandy around in situations where it is far less appropriate than here), and it seems like a more appropriate response to someone whose existence is so precarious would be more akin to how we sustain those who are born without an adaptive immune system (https://www.rarediseasereview.org/publications/2017/8/7/livi...).

(Gay marriage, on the other hand, has been (rightly) legalised and enjoys majority support, but even there I think that the problem was that the state presumed to have a say in the definition of marriage to begin with. If any reference to marriage were struck from the books - perhaps by making a neutral construct of civil partnership or something else that can inherit its functions for property-sharing and mutual spokesmanship take it place - then the claim to marriage as a negative right that Scruton would have no cause to interfere with would become apparent.)
I don’t know about you, but reading that first paragraph of the organic chemistry textbook was not a drag. It may not have been Carl Sagan’s Cosmos but I don’t understand how any generally curious person wouldn’t find it interesting. For the record I never took anything beyond Chemistry I in college.

Version 5 and this tool still has absolutely awful UX.

I have no problem configuring Webpack, but it's ridiculous that:

- it needs two plugins to generate CSS files [1], when the homepage lists it as one of the supported outputs in front and center; [2]

- it needs a plugin have a non-trash output log. [3]

Parcel was supposed to fix the situation, and in many cases its UX is an order of magnitude better, but in exchange it brings a slew of unfixed bugs in the most simple projects that lightly sway from the base usage.

Maybe in 2030 the JS community will have figured something out.

I think the main difference is that it's not hard to get approximate detection methods working with some high school geometry(and for games with simple physical behavior, you can usually stop at those) but finding any kind of approximate solution to collision response is not something students are ordinarily given any theoretical background in until undergraduate education, and then mostly indirectly through calculus, not crossing into the general CS classes where it would directly connect.

If you study physics specifically and are plugged into the theory driving iterative solvers, or perhaps you study math and spot the connection between constraint problems generally and the specific case of collision, you can find your way to answers about engineering satisfying non-realistic behaviors, but that's describing a subset of game programmers. Many still stumble through a sea of hacks and reliance on libraries because the conceptual knowledge hasn't been directed at them.
All fuel tanks have a vent valve to redirect vapours from the fuel. During a fillup the turbulent flow of the fuel causes quite a build-up of vapours that need to be redirected.

Persistent fuel overfilling causes fuel to flow into the vent valve, and over time, it clogs. Once clogged, the vapour has no outlet and bubbles up through the main opening, causing the overflow you see on your Mustangs. It’s not the pump’s fault, although the problem is exacerbated when the nozzle does not fit fully into the tank. Car manufacturers always tell people to stop filling after the first click, but most people tend to overfill their tanks regardless. I’m guilty of this too.

Sorry, I don’t understand. What is the issue?

I put correct in quotes because it was ineffective. I did not lose weight eating the amount of calories that the doctors calculated. Is that surprising?
... And suddenly, you want to insert your UI components of choice and you end up with segfault errors of node-gyp.

Then you decide that not giving a damn is the sane option to maintain codebases.
But, it could be good for learning. Doug Castro, founder of NeuralDSP started with less (I think) when he built his first pedal.
This is somewhat of a meta-comment but why is nutrition research so challenging and contentious even in 2020?

What prevents us from developing tools, whether statistical techniques or otherwise, from settling these questions once and for all? And why do the answers need to be universal? Most papers I've read do not universalize their results, at least outwardly, but (some) popular science writers seem to do that a lot.

I can imagine, and several other comments allude to this, that individuals with different genetic makeup will experience a different set of dynamics around nutrition. I don't mean to be facetious or to suggest these aren't real challenges, I'm just curious on what the big obstacles are, in 2020.
I heard "Ice Ice Baby" about 1000 times when I used to roller skate, and loved it. I found a used CD of "To The Extreme" later and snapped it up. What a disappointment - not only didn't the rest of the songs live up to the hit, but even the hit didn't. The version I had been hearing must have been a different mix from a single, and the version from the album wasn't nearly as good.
Author here. I really appreciate your feedback.

Completely agree that almost none of the SoTA github repos are really ready for production and making this stuff work can be pretty hard.

Getting this done on C++ and moving up to the next level of performance is the focus of my next article :)
What about the dumping is not internalized? Do companies not pay for landfill? I know that historically companies would take their trucks up the river and dump it in and hope nobody noticed but I sort of doubt that Amazon does that today.
We've been using Webpack for a number of years now with our massive webapp.

A few months ago we started using esbuild for our development setups. Build times went from ~6 minutes to ~1.

This is a sweet spot for us as esbuild is performing really well and made our development much easier. we still rely on webpack for our staging and production builds.

The reason for this is esbuild doesn't support a variety of production necessary features (transpiling to older ES, uploading bundles to S3, etc)

But I'm very happy with our "esbuild for development, webpack for deployments" process.

Any reason other people are not taking a similar approach?
Yeah, I have high hopes. I have been following Doug for years. Great guy, good product designer. I believe it will be good.
Or mainly just read more. Traveling to places just to learn about differences is pretty terrible for the environment.
If you're that ambitious of a terrorist you have faceless minions to travel to internet cafes in distant locations and access the internet for you. Using Tails wouldn't do a damn thing for such a high-profile target, though; Osama bin Laden didn't have interwebs at all in Abbottabad, and the US government still dropped in for a visit.
Is sand really efficient? If we overflow, should we put sand ourselves?
TLDR ask your customers what they care about instead of just showing them what your product does.
I swear I thought this was a satire for most of the first half...
No, obviously not because that's just absurd. But one could ask if the fact of a human with pencil and paper being dead slow computing the output is enough to invalidate the whole argument.

But anyway, I am not trying to defend Searle’s argument. I was just pointing out something what seemed to me like a flaw in that particular refutation.
How do you keep track of the shutter clock in this kind of system? For example the camera clocks at 60fps, but the image processing is a few frames late, the gyroscope clocks at 4kHz, the accelerometer way slower, lidar is a slug, etc. Then you have to get all that stuff in your kalman filter to estimate the state and the central question is: “when did you collect this data?” I guess “no clue it comes from USB then disappeared into a GPU pipeline” is not a scientifically sound answer, you want to know if it goes before or after sample no 3864 of the gyroscope.

Long story short, that’s good, you’ve used a neural net to avoid using a human or an animal as a pose estimation datum, how do you correlate that to the rest of the sensor suite?
You can always segment by job category.
Many cars in the 60s used vented gas caps rather than vented tanks.

If you use a modern pump on a tank like that, in my experience, the auto shut-off will not work.
I'd probably argue that's an extreme example but, yes, many CEOs absolutely do make a difference in terms of establishing culture and setting direction and strategy. Certainly bad CEOs can do a lot of damage. And I expect a lot of people saying CEOs don't make a difference would be utterly lost if they were dropped into the position at a large company.
How likely is gas to be foamy? I don't top off anymore because I learned first-hand the pain of fixing the evap system.
They are ok and not that complicated. We use them at the college and they work ok for the non-technical teachers.

I do wonder though, if it will actually be the best solution. I have been thinking on this issue for a bit since I really wonder if we are doing it correctly.

What if you got a normal whiteboard and point a camera at it, get a document camera, hdmi cam for video conferencing, and an ATEM mini[1]. It might be cheaper than a lot of smart board options and a whole lot more versatile. I get the feeling that setting up a home office is going to be different in the telecommute era.
