>It isn't a coincidence that we have an obesity epidemic for a reason.

There are multiple factors but let me simplify everything.

A lot of obese people are either hormonally or mentally ill. Their body or mind is no longer able to track food consumption and they overeat because of their hormonal state or because they are depressed and eating helps them overcome it.

Obesity fuels hormonal and mental problems so it is a self reinforcing loop. If there are factors outside your control that make you obese then you will most likely stay obese because of the sheer amount of will power it takes to stop being obese. Obese parents make their children obese, transportation by car and easy desk jobs make obesity bearable, food quality is going downhill causing hormonal imbalances or lack of satiation.

Bodies don't track calories for satiation, they track intake of nutrients. If you eat fatty foods your body will track how much fat you are eating and thus regulate how much fat to burn or store. Same with proteins. Carbs are different. They affect your insulin level but they don't affect satiation all that much. It's very easy to overeat carbs and run into hormonal imbalances where you feel hungry even through you already ate too much from a purely caloric perspective. The sheer density of calories in carbs is causing problems. If we wanted to stop the obesity epidemic we probably have to introduce carb/fat/protein ratios that must not be violated in processed food. Plus we need smaller packaging for food that cannot meet these ratios to prevent overconsumption. (no more 1.5 liter bottles for soda unless it is sugar free)

Disclaimer: I don't know anything. I'm just a random person on the internet.

Edit: The reason why intermittent fasting (and fasting in general) works is because it is the act of not letting your hormones or mental state decide your eating habits.
same case with me. I've been using Fastmail for 2 years, but moved to Private Email 2 months ago, and currently using Office365's Exchange.

After 2 occurrences of my mail goes into spam folder, I became paranoid and always BCC my gmail account for every important email.

In the end I say "what the hell" and subscribed to O365. Google Workspace is too expensive for me.

Originally wikipedia did not condone advocacy or propaganda now it does as long as it can be attributed as a "fact" because it has been published by a "reliable source." Who decides what is a reliable source? The same sort of clique that moderates /r/worldnews or /r/politics. Reddit is an Orwellian cancer.

Advocating for hydrogen should be accompanied with an explanation of:

- how to generate the hydrogen carbon-neutral or better with less loss than alternative-energy+grid transmission.

- how to store and transport it to fueling stations

- how to build out the fueling infrastructure, since the grid already exists for BEVs

- how you will prevent people from simply using methane as a cheap alternative for H2 production, which the fossil fuel industry will very much want and will lobby to make viable

- how you will practically refuel cars

- how the cars will store the hydrogen

- why we should invest trillions in h2 infrastructure when it's all largely unproven at scale and BEVs seem to beat it economically at a midpoint of economies of scale growth

Nuclear has an entire other list of issues/challenges to maintain economic relevancy as Solar/Wind/Storage costs plummet. And I'm a serious fan of LFTR and believe ongoing research for modular MSRs should be funded even as we mostly focus on solar/wind/storage.

Foundations of mathematics are inferentially incomplete, that, is,

It's interesting to note that central planning has been highly effective for small nation state sized corporations such as Walmart[0] presumably long before any adoption of AI, and that attempts at pervasive internal markets at Sears[1] arguably rapidly accelerated its downfall.

That's absolutely not to say that Walmart is a direct exemplar of successful Soviet-style "state capitalism" or socialism, nor that Sears is a proof by contradiction of the efficient market hypothesis, or any such thing. But for a long time now we seem to be living in a hybrid world, and hence we should be open to societal changes and solutions from either direction -- even if ideology makes that uncomfortable. Anyone advocating for a society with near 100% market mechanisms or near 0% market mechanisms is almost certainly wearing ideological blinkers.

>Discipline is really the one trait that I guess leads to success in the above process, and probably everything else in life. Who knows how much of that is nature vs nurture.

There was a recent EconTalk podcast about this. The author/guest is an expert in this type of behavioral change. Her opinion (which is the most informed I've read), is that discipline is not very important trait w.r.t. behavioral modification. Discipline is an active process and one must be constantly vigilant at a cortical level to execute it.

Her view was situational control was the most important. With situational control, we learn to not put ourselves into situations beyond our control. For example, not buying a bag of Doritos is _MUCH_ easier than not eating a bag of Doritos sitting in front of you. Not going to a Casino is _MUCH_ easier than not gambling away all your cash for a gambling addict. Some thing for alcoholics etc.
> The immune system generally walks a line between being absolutely worthless and killing you.

And that's your strong belief which steers you towards getting vaccinated.

> It requires any code derived or linked against GPL software to also be GPL. This is where the term "infectious" comes from.

And it's still an incorrect and arbitrary use of term.

If you release software that is breaching GPL due to a dependency you have many options to rectify the issue.

Under no conditions your software "catches" a GPL "infection" and magically changes its license while you are not looking. There is such concept in copyright law.

EDIT: you can do better than silent downvotes.
Hence of course the reason why I implemented `share` to share a link to your code!
Particularly nobody says proprietary licensing is viral even though most licenses are and almost every refers to and focuses on the fact that you may avoid infringement by releasing the combined work under the GPL often confusing the fact that you can for must or even assuming that the combined work is automagically GPL.

Also aficionados of permissive licensing seem to be frequently not only OK with proprietary licensing but approve of the fact that code can be used in such a fashion. It's almost as if the attitude is everyone's else's work MUST be free for ME to use in MY proprietary code else they are somehow taking away MY freedom!

This is off-topic, I feel. The article illustrates that there is a push to stop "printing press" from printing "your book" in cases when it's perfectly happy to do that. In the name of fighting misinformation, of course.
Wikipedia's policies on this are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_vie... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability

Without `static`, compiler exports a symbol.

$ cat value.c
int value = 42;

int get_value() {
return value;
}

$ make value.o
gcc -c -o value.o value.c

$ nm value.o
0000000000000000 T get_value
U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
0000000000000000 D value

This symbol, not being `const` can be modified by any other compilation unit.

$ cat main.c
#include <stdio.h>

int value;
int get_value();

int main() {
value = 123456789;
printf("%d\n", get_value());
}

$ make main.o
gcc -c -o main.o main.c

$ cc value.o main.o

$ ./a.out
123456789

Compiler when generating an object file has to assume the value of exported non-const symbol can change. It's necessary to tell the compiler that the value cannot change, either by not exporting the symbol by using `static` or making the value of it `const`. In example provided in your article `static` makes sense (or even `static const`) as I don't think there is a reason to export this global.
Sorry but the OP is right. Everyone in Europe was shocked and very, very angry that the US attacked yet another country that wasn't a threat to it and had nothing to do with 9/11.

Even today, I personally have no idea what the US went to do in Afghanistan. Iraq, at least, had oil. But, Afghanistan? What was the point?
Ah, that's nice, though a "share" button would make it clear that exists. It's also not mentioned in the guide, so there's not an easy way to know it exists.
It's interesting that this standardization effort hasn't happened earlier, because it seems such an obvious feature addition to POST requests. HTTP is decades old after all, and nobody thought about this prior to the payment processors? I guess nobody really cares if you have two posts in a forum with the same content, but if you do two payments it's way worse. After all, double spend prevention is what bitcoin does its hugely expensive proof of work for.
I've certainly seen people who mock almost everything to test units at the smallest scale possible because they think that's what they're supposed to.

E.g., I once saw someone test a factory method like:

def make_thing(a, b, c):
return thing(a, b, c)

with a unit test where they mocked `thing`, and ensured that calling `make_thing(a, b, c)` ended up calling `thing(a, b, c)`.

They write just a shit ton of tests like this for every single method and function, and end up writing ~0 tests that actually check for any meaningful correctness.

I'm not sure I understand why this needs to be standardized. Is there something that middleboxes and CDNs need to do with messages marked idempotent? Would a standard header enable browsers to do something new that they're all likely to actually do? Otherwise: HTTP already specifies a bag-of-attributes header system, and this is just an application of it. Why is it in the HTTP standards?
That was certainly not Apple's Java, as it had good JIT compiler with code cache, and the same L&F than Objective-C applications, that wasn't definitely it.

I've used Ray for about a year (typically for thousands of ML tasks, spread across ~48-120 cores simultaneously) and it's a pleasure to use at least using the basic API.

Nocedal and Wright is good. +1 also to the suggestions for Boyd and Vandenberghe. I really like Boyd's writing in general; he has coauthored some good review articles on proximal algorithms and ADMM.

A couple of other suggestions:

Nesterov's Introductory Lectures on Convex Optimization. This one is pretty tough sledding, but I found the perspectives in the first chapter particularly to be enlightening. It seems like there's a newer Springer book which is probably an expansion on this.

Bertsekas's Nonlinear Programming. Bertsekas has written a lot of books, and there's a fair amount of overlapping going on. This one seemed to be the one that has the most nuts and bolts about the basics of optimization.

EDIT: If you want more understanding of convexity beyond what's presented in these books, Rockafellar's Convex Analysis is helpful.
I've realized that as software engineers our work isn't writing code: it's changing code.

As such, the unit of work that we produce is the code change.

Which means crafting a good commit - with a good commit message - is key to our craft.
Thank you for pointing that out, I was indeed wrong to assume it was used to classify hardware rather than a model.
Already their TOS gives them broad permissions, it just stops short of indemnification. Their TOS arguably already turns people posting projects containing third party copylefted code into license violators, -- yet people are still using them.

So I wouldn't be so sure-- but moreover, I think my larger point remains: the entire world being fragmented into separate licensing is a huge moat.
Besides acoustic waves, fiber measures strain, pressure and temperature. One proposed application is to line a water ar oil pipeline to quickly locate a leak. Currently pressure sensors every few miles. The you have to visually inspect the segment for the leak. Harder to do for buried pipelines.

Blogs, personal websites, forums, email, and IM all still exist and are still large platforms.

It’s clear based on user behavior that users like the experience that centralized, for-profit social media networks provide. That experience invariably is very expensive to deliver… Dramatically more expensive than serving Wikipedia, for example, and the costs grow faster as the number of users increase.

So, in order to deliver the user experience that real people have demonstrated their preference for, one of the key inputs is exceptionally large (and increasing) amounts of money.

In order to be sustainable, that money has to come from somewhere. Targeted ads aren’t the only option, but no viable competitor has been discovered.

The reason why targeted ads are so productive here is because the value of the network grows non-linearly (up to a point) with each additional user. If you charge an entrance fee to each user, your network will be smaller and therefore outrageously less valuable than any network that does not charge an entrance fee.

Therefore, so long as any social network is willing to make their network free to enter, effectively no network with a comparable service can charge for usage.

Importantly, not only will the free social network be more valuable than the paid social network in relative terms, it will also be more valuable in absolute terms – both in terms of value received per user and number of users receiving value. So, it may be possible to regulate free social networks out of existence, but doing so would necessarily destroy a lot of user value in the process.

Perhaps there is some type of patronage or donation-based model that could both enable the free entry price and avoid the pitfalls of the ads-based business model. However, an organization like this is unlikely to attract the technical talent necessary to build competitive products.

Of course, like both of us mentioned, other models and competitive ecosystems exist. Centralized social networks have not killed email or instant messaging or blogs or websites. Those things are, by every measure, actually way bigger than they ever have been. So in a sense, the thing you’re hoping for is already here, it’s just not the dominant modality chosen by other people.

There are fair questions to ask about the power that ownership and control of a centralized social network imbues. Though, I think those are orthogonal concerns to the question of funding mechanisms.

In sum, I think the world you’ve expressed desire for does, indeed, already exist. It happens to co-exist with the world that you have expressed distaste for. While I am empathetic to your distaste for social media’s influence and business model, I think it’s important to recognize both why it exists and the ways in which it’s existence is not strictly zero sum.

I'm mostly unimpressed with what I've tried so far.

Some 'vegan' beef jerky being the most acceptable, but not really true to the expectation either. Could have done wine gums with chili instead, for the same effect.

That stuff exists like decades, and before the vegan hype was usually shunned because perceived as fake. I don't really care, may you all grow tits and enjoy futa because trendy. Yay!

The USSR didn't have the great depression, but they did have the HoloDomor or terror famine of Ukraine between 1932 and 1933 and the wider Soviet Famine of that period.

The history of the famine later went on to inspire the book Animal Farm and were a pure artifact of the central planning economy forcing the export of the very food required to feed millions of people.

Lytton is in the middle of the Fraiser River valley, it has always been hot AF in the middle of summer. Vancouver is far away on the coast. Median temperature in Lytton around Aug 1st is 30C and it has hit ~40C a bunch over its historical record.

This event was, of course, very extreme, but its not that surprising it happened in Lytton.

And the whole Frasier river valley is getting hit hard by climate change and forest fires, pretty much every summer.

It might seem weird because its so far north, but its climate is more like drought-striken areas of WA/OR/CA.
Actually, unless you lived in a big city or near a university getting any level of programming books was tough...

However, assembly was more common back then and really wasn't consider a 'black art'. It was just what you did. Also, 8 bits were a lot simpler to program (flat address space, no protected mode, etc) - at most, you might have to deal with some bank switching..

Even hobbyist mags like Compute! would run articles on assembly - and DDJ would have that fancy 'C' stuff too!
They don't have to agree. US-based Google seems OK serving customers from China under the terms of Chinese laws.
Wasn't the Great Famine in 1932 and 1933 a direct result of central (mis-)planning? PS: also I wonder if you actually experienced living in a centrally planned economy, the East German economy for instance stumbled from one crisis into the next, not as bad as the Soviet Union under Stalin obviously (as in: people didn't starve to death), but a healthy economy is pretty much the opposite of the "real socialist" economies of the Eastern Bloc.
