I think of myself as a pretty decent cook but without some rough measurements I don’t find the recipes very useful. When I look at the gnocchi recipe I have no idea how much flour to take for an amount of potatoes for example . It is a little like watching my mom who just seems to throw things together until it’s right. Every time it’s perfect but she can’t explain what she does. You need a lot of experience for this.

I learned to cook a lot from the 3x5 cards my mom has in a cupboard.

They list stuff like a "pinch" of salt or a "stick" of butter.

Sometimes I'll make her dinner from her recipe and she'll be surprised and say "that's not the way I do it" and then she'll really enjoy the food anyway.

I think interpretation is what makes cooking an art, and many times, those little individual choices we make to interpret a recipe or system of cooking is what makes us proud of our dish.
Caffeine is missing - it's my mood altering drug of choice.
One place that I find has surprisingly good recipes is Wikipedia. Take paella [0] or the basic French sauces [1] for instance. It gives context and standard preparations as a great starting point with useful related items.

It’s more advanced than a YouTube video for someone who hasn’t cooked much yet (similar to a technical topic), but I like the additional information and encyclopedia style discussing variations rather than choosing a single truth and just trying to sell ads on a site.

When I referred to tourist dollars "both literally and metaphorically" and explicitly distinguished between the two categories, it was because the metaphorical tourist dollars weren't literally "dollars". So you responded that Euros weren't literally dollars. Well, yes, that was the "metaphor" part. They were in that other category I mentioned, the one where tourist dollars aren't literal, just metaphorical. And yet you still don't get it. "But they're not dollars." The only guess you have is that maybe I'm confused and think that all money is called "dollars"? Yeah, that must be it.

So, 'if a Polish person exchanges Euros for Yen in Japan and then buys a beer in Tokyo, did Japan just "earn dollars"?' Yes, they DID just metaphorically earn tourist dollars, and no, they did NOT literally earn any "dollars". I might also have said that thanks to the Polish customers, Japanese bartenders were able to metaphorically bring home the bacon, except that you would then probably get upset and explain to me that Poles in a Japanese bar would pay in yen, not in pork products.

I think your experience would strongly depend on whether people listen when you tell them they are wrong. I think you will enjoy it if they actually do listen and fix things you point out as wrong.
Agreed. I find the tabular format of Cooking for Engineers excellent for this (for example, at the bottom of this brownies recipe: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/158/Dark-Chocolate...).

I have wasted so much time configuring smart home junk...honestly the parent post reads like its mocking my experience with this stuff.

My apartment is a patchwork quilt of perpetually out of date devices each with their own utterly garbage app (or underwhelming homekit integration, or arcane homeassistant yaml incantation if I’m feeling really optimistic).

Various devices and integrations work poorly together if at all, the hubs are updated and old devices are left behind, a failed lightbulb update seemingly bricks it, but an hour of fiddling returns it from the dead, but now it still shows up in various apps under the wrong name and can’t be purged. Siri doesn’t know how to set color temperatures and bulbs look slightly weird depending on who set them with what integration.

My $700 air conditioner forgets about the wifi after being on standby for 24 hours and can’t be activated remotely when coming home from a weekend away. I have multiple wireless hifi dongles because they only work properly with certain devices. Some devices are MIA for minutes at a time despite strong wifi throughout my very modestly sized apartment.

I own smart home products from several brands and have spent hours configuring and/or debugging these things. I am over it. Very few things I have bought have lived up to their promise.

I’m so glad I avoided getting a smart TV the last time I was on the market. My parents smart Samsung is just a few years old, but, as I learned on my last visit, is no longer supported for many of the current streaming apps, so they need a new streaming device to plug into it!
Yeah I feel your frustration. I recently tried to get drivers for two similar pieces of niche hardware. Both had open source drivers, neither had very good docs. Luckily one of the vendors was actually committed to open source (the entire product was open source form the hardware to the driver) and I was able to reach out and get it working.

How do you think about big community with loose connections between nodes vs small community with strong ties? What are the pros and cons?
Well that’s hardly the problem honestly. AWS is surprisingly good at not dropping services or creating long-term deprecation plans. They don’t have to enter into a contract to guarantee the longevity of their services. It’s definitely what makes AWS so trustworthy. Amazon in general is pretty good at supporting both business and consumer services in the long run, even when some of those services are clearly money losing units.

That’s because the company is basically designed like a synergistic portfolio where even money-losing businesses have a purpose in the big picture.

And that’s where Google fails. It’s very well known how ruthless Google can be at killing business that don’t produce tangible results. The Alphabet re-org clearly showcases that they are playing a game of optimizing the allocation of their assets. That mentality bleeds down.

Unfortunately, you can’t run a Cloud Business like that. To Google’s merit, it seems that they are not running their cloud unit with that mentality (I don’t think I have heard about GCP services that shut down). But it’s clear there’s a generalized feeling in the industry that Google can at any point become impatient with GCP, leaving many stranded.

For Google to be a distant third in the Cloud game must be pretty hard. This is something that plays to their strengths and yet they are hardly closing the gap.

The big difference is that the companies that are winning (Amazon and Microsoft) are willing to lose in some areas to win in others. They excel at that. Google on the other hand seems to have a hard time with that shit...
I feel this way when writing business logic RPC services, because returning the error to the caller is almost always what you want to do.

Recently I wrote something very different, more low level. Rather than handlers it had a number of goroutines looping, selecting, and sending to channels. In this case explicit errors were a lot more useful. If it had been a language with exceptions and I had forgotten a try/catch, it could have killed one of my loops. Not good!

This is the kind of use case that fits well for Go. I think it’s a systems glue language that just happens to be friendly enough to invite abuse in mundane backend business logic tasks. But using it that way is setting yourself up for frustration.
Very insightful point. Your current state depends on your previous state. You don't go through life unfazed. Every experience turns you into what you are the next day, which results in repeated transformations. A small change in your life then, e.g (deciding not to go to a Spanish-speaking country) would result in many changes, including your comment not existing, and me never having written this comment. Then it's funny to consider the chances that I would have gone on to make a life-changing decision because of this thread.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Snowflakes as You’ve Never Seen Them Before
and to clarify on the above reply, it's widely suspected that Amazon snoop at data hosted on AWS, so they can make/sell competing products that are selling well based on what they learn from snooping.

So basically any business that makes or sells anything that Amazon may possibly make or sell in the future doesn't want to touch AWS.
For the naive like myself, if FHE permits an untrusted computer to perform operations on encrypted data, without being able to read the unencrypted data, what operations could be performed? (multiply/add?) Is it still capable of conditional logic? If so, how could this be done without unveiling some of the information?

It boggles my mind that France and South Korea had such great success with nuclear but nobody else was able to replicate that success.

Eh sure, but I could see a newbie making this recipe, putting too little oil, having it start smoking, then burning the cutlets and undercooking the chicken. That's not interpretation, that's just poor instruction.

Take the Serious Eats version. Yes, it's 10x more complicated, but it has photos and careful descriptions and measurements: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/09/the-best-chicken...
No one is disputing that age is a factor. From the very first line of the foreward:

> As we show in this report, increased bodyweight is the second greatest predictor of hospitalisation and a high risk of death for people suffering from COVID-19. Only old age rates as a higher risk factor.

But if you're really going to compare against age then you'd need to correct for obesity or you're simply including it and possibly compounding any risk.

> the risks of hospitalization in 85+ years is more than 10x the risk in 30-39 year old range.

Is the difference 10x in Japan, too?

The point is (or was) to discern a difference between why Japan has lower cases and/or mortality vs Europe and America. All three have plenty of old people, Japan has the greatest percentage. There is also a marked difference between their average waistlines too.

Japan should have the highest cases and/or mortality of the three and yet it has the lowest. I'm not a betting man and "masks are the reason", without a shred of evidence to back it, isn't going to change that habit, especially given the competition:

> Is this link between COVID-19 and overweight found across the globe?
> Yes.
> A large number of studies and systematic reviews have found increased risk of severe symptoms from COVID-19 associated with excess bodyweight. The table here gives some examples (pg 14)

And the table really does give plenty of examples. From the US:

> People with obesity more than twice as likely to need hospitalisation and more than six times as likely to need mechanically assisted breathing and more than six times as likely to die following development of COVID-19. (pg 14)

From the UK:

> People with overweight 67% more likely to need intensive care, and people with obesity three times as likely to need intensive care, following development of COVID-19. (pg 14)

…among many others. It continues:

> Taking data from over 160 countries, we find linear correlations between a country’s COVID-19 mortality rates and their estimated degree of overweight or obesity prevalence (pg 15)

and here's the kicker:

> The diagram shows high mortality rates *only* in countries where overweight prevalence exceeds around 50% of the adult population. (pg 15)

Emphasis mine. As to directly comparing Japan and the US and UK, they've added a helpful index:

- COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 population (01/01/2021)

- Adult overweight BMI >25kg/m2 (2016)

- Adult obesity BMI >30kg/m2 (2016)

- Population age over 65 years (%) (2020)

- Per capita Gross Domestic Product $US (2019)

- Healthy life expectancy years (2019)
Insufficient physical activity % adults (2016)

- Japan 2.60, 27.2, 4.3, 28.4, 74.1, 35.5

- UK 110.73, 63.7, 27.8, 18.7, 70.1, 35.9

- US 105.68, 67.9, 36.2, 16.6, 66.1, 40.0

As to mask wearing, well, if survey results of real world usage are to be believed, then it really is no contest, as the charts here show:

I encourage you to check out the draw down project ( https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions ), sort the list from largest impact and you will see " Managed Grazing" has the potential to have a 27% to 40% larger CO2 reduction than electric cars (scenario 1 - scenario 2 percentages). So keep the cattle just update the farming practices, ditch the electric car? Haha obviously not, we need a multi prong solution.

I'm pretty interest how carbon negative is greenwashing when there could actually be less carbon in the atmosphere, will be verified with a life cycle analysis, especially since we can fit on a truck that already exists so the truck manufacturing CO2 is already something that's been spent.

My trigger is when things are called zero emissions, because no electric car, solar panel, or windmill are zero emissions.

I can second this.

We had a database growing by around 200GB of relevant data per month. While I'm not a fan of Oracle having worked there long ago, that database was unbelievably fast. They moved to MySQL years later and it required a much much bigger tin after being heavily optimized.
I have no idea if any of the others have such promises, but wouldn't you agree that Google kind of stands out from the Three Big cloud providers when looking at the historical rate of service deprecation? It's not an accident that Google is rather (in)famous regarding that, and MS & Amazon are not.

> Natural gas has actually steadily gained market share.

Strangely even some environmental groups seem to be pro-gas or at least ambivalent, like how Sierra Club's "whoops, we got caught" response to taking millions of dollars from the oil companies waxes poetic about the need to "look beyond coal, oil, and gas, and focus on clean, efficient energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal" but doesn't mention the word "nuclear" anywhere at all: https://sierraclub.typepad.com/michaelbrune/2012/02/the-sier...

I'd expect them to proudly mention nuclear in the past tense considering Sierra Club successfully killed the nuclear generating station that would have supplied me here in the Bay Area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega_Bay_Nuclear_Power_Plant

I recently got a 55 inch 4k TV after having a 40 inch HD TV for some years.

I regret having friends suffer through that quality to watch things like the last season of Game of Thrones just because I liked hosting. I had friends with better TVs that didn't say anything because I liked having people over and they didn't.

I've never connected it to the internet and glad I haven't but there really is a night and day difference in quality. I've slowly upgraded my parent's TVs and they have really appreciated it.

I wonder if that is actually a good idea for disruption that could also do a lot of good for underbanked and underprivileged.

Looks like Pipe offers a trading platform to bid and buy something kind of like a collateralized 'bond' (future monthly income).

I would assume you could bring the 'spread' down and thus the pay day borrower gets a lower interest rate (is spread the right word?)

Given the huge profit of predatory lenders there is room to lower rates.

Definitely big challenge that might not work is how to assign a risk rating to a single human with no banking/credit history. Maybe another idea could use ML & more consumer data to create fairer & more predictive credit ratings.
I accept it as a part of the system / algorithm.

People would prefer if Matrix multiplication was O(n^2) algorithm (which would get rid of a lot of waste resources in the datacenters), but people accept that it takes more resources.

What I don’t accept is the amount of lies that people say about Proof of Stake algorithms being an improvement over Bitcoin’s current protocol without any security compromise.

If I see an algorithm that is less costly while giving the same security as Bitcoin, I will evaluate it, but the amount of shaming that I get for paying miners a seignorage to secure my money is what I don’t have to tolerate.
I'm aware of that composite signals tended to bleed pixels horizontally. I used to draw my own pixel art when I owned an Amiga (though to be fair, the monitors were often sharper, and I wasn't always using composite). I grant perhaps it's more legible on a composite display, though I think that's a hard thing to appreciate when delivered on the modern web.
I recently bought a roku tv and this wasn’t an option, I had to setup an account just to activate it before I could use it.
Ignoring the economics for a second, the persepctive in play when someone says "replace gas with nuclear" should be:

1) If solar is deployed, gas/batteries/something has to be deployed as well to deal with nighttime.

2) So the 'replacement' of nuclear is steady power that replaces some solar panels, some gas for a net improvement, technically speaking.

Of course, the main argument against that is whether the economics plays out. I find it humorous that I'm taking the side of technical excellence and the pro-solar people are saying "who cares, lets just follow the economics". There was a decade where those positions were mostly reversed when it was coal v solar.
