I mean, I think you can make a case that calories in calories out might not make as much sense for some thinner people in that, almost regardless what they eat, they can find ways to either burn or not process the calories. I don't think he does such a good job making the case it doesn't apply the other way. A body needs a set amount of energy to function, you reduce intake enough and weight drops. No lack of figeting or slightly lower core temp is going to be able to outweigh the lack of calories going in. That being said...

I think the real question raised by this article is why eating at the level required to maintain a specific body weight is second nature to some and torture to others. 'Calories in calories out' starts to sound a lot like 'if you don't want to be addicted don't do drugs'. It's much easier said than done by someone who doesn't understand addiction. In fact it's almost worse than addiction, as someone hooked on heroin or booze can do rehab or some other form where you just can't get ahold of those. But if you're addicted to food, you have to deal with the subject of your addiction 3 meal times a day (plus advertising!). That's a hard place to be.
Haha this is exactly why point source information is so damaging. The AMA spent years keeping this tightened down by spending money and then they started issuing press releases asking for the opposite (but this time, conspicuously leaving off the money spending).

This naïveté is typical of HN. You’d read a press release from ISIS and conclude they’ve built a paradise. You need more knowledge than you can Google up. You need to be aware of what they did and do over the last 30 years.

But it’s okay, you can believe falsehoods. No skin off my back.
So today in my 40s I learned that these pauses I sometimes make mid-speech that cause listeners to "interrupt" (they think I finished my sentence and are asking for what they missed) is potentially a sign of a speech disfluency all my life...down a rabbit hole I go.
Your company sounds like a shitty place to work.
I'd like to use OSM for everything, and while their road mapping is second to none, their POI mapping is lacking and there are no good navigation apps that use OSM data. The best one I've used is Magic Earth but there are some strange design quirks, such as no auto-zoom on the map when navigating by car.

There also comes the issue that OSM in general is not optimized for navigation. Interstate ramps and exits, for instance, are named improperly or not named at all.
I have done web-development both in the bad IE days but also recently and IMO it wasn't as bad to develop for IE as it is for Safari today. Safari is broken in strange and random ways and missing odd features and is a moving target (and seem to break more with time). Developing for IE was extremely well documented (especially in later versions) and avoiding pitfalls was very easy, even for people new to creating webpages using a few Google searches. Not so for Safari - unless you cut it completely off from all modern advances on the web. It just felt worse back then because IE was much more widespread.

Yes I can do arbitrary depth text in markdown but then it becomes text, not markdown. Then you are rending a mix of different things which are not semantically meaningful to a tool. Are you suggesting I use MD for the top levels, then then free text when nesting gets deeper?

To be clear I cobbled together an example of what my notes may look like:
https://gist.github.com/jonocodes/5574dc799774b4613c33d2572b...

I'm not even sure what tab level 2 should be in Markdown. Should it be a unordered list or a heading level 2? At what depth would I switch from headings, to lists, to plain text etc? I hit a wall pretty quickly with Markdowns restrictiveness here.

When people say calories they mean calories that can be converted to ATP. This is why fiber is not considered to have calories (for humans, but is for cows) despite containing forms of energy.

Can you post a study you feel shows that nothing in psychology is reproducible?
sure but you also have to consider that big corps often lobby against solutions… busting them up isn’t the sole solution, but it probably helps

Thar actually looks pretty good! Gonna give it a spin.
Yes there's a good argument that insurance in the US has artificially increased prices. College loans have done similar. This is why the ACA (obamacare) kinda failed to fix most of the issues. Care is much too expensive.
From Mozilla link above: Since publication of the ESNI draft specification at the IETF, analysis has shown that encrypting only the SNI extension provides incomplete protection. As just one example: during session resumption, the Pre-Shared Key extension could, legally, contain a cleartext copy of exactly the same server name that is encrypted by ESNI. The ESNI approach would require an encrypted variant of every extension with potential privacy implications, and even that exposes the set of extensions advertised. Lastly, real-world use of ESNI has exposed interoperability and deployment challenges that prevented it from being enabled at a wider scale.
Interesting, I never considered "Thinking Fast and Slow" and " "Persuasion" to be psychology books or I would not have read them
Not really. Legal tender doesn't generally work like that as a concept. It's largely to do with settling of debts - in that you cannot insist on being paid in cows from somebody who doesn't have any cows. The law will permit the debt to be settled in a defined fungible numeraire and will consider that to end the matter.

But where it does operate like that, that's another example of a public monopoly at work.

You can always contract under the laws of another jurisdiction if it bothers you that much.

As ever it is free as in freedom, not free as in beer. True freedom can be very inconvenient.
It’s quite naive to assume compute power is the main reason for deepmind’s success.

Any bit of research into this (and most of their successes in other fields) will show otherwise.
Idk I think it's not as easy to achieve a good front-end with point-and-click as you describe. When you have to do things like adaptive layouts, it seems like code actually manages a bit better than a WYSIWYG. Or there is some point of complexity where you need so many configuration options in a point-and-click editor that the code becomes easier to manage.

> With Plimpton 322 we see a simpler, more accurate trigonometry that has clear advantages over our own.

IIRC it's more a table with right triangles than a trigonometric functions table.

The interesting part is that it use fractions with 60 in the denominator (or something like that), so some number that have an infinite representation in base 10 (like 0.33333333333...) have a finite representation with 60 (like 20/60).

It's interesting as a historical step, but it's not more accurate trigonometry and has no clear advantages. (It you like fractions more than floating point numbers, you can use Mathematica or any other program that support fractions.

I had a look into this as part of a research project.

To reduce the burden of writing specific scraping software, I investigated the software listed by the Archive Team[0].

The command line tools and libraries aside (as they would require much more specific tailoring to make them work), I was particularly interested in HTTrack and Warrick.

Warrick[1] is defined as a tool to recover lost websites using various online archives and caches. Warrick[2] requires some expert knowledge in order to get it up and running.

I found Warrick was a bit outdated, so decided to try something similar but more up to date, and came across this (hartator/wayback_machine_downloader).

I found this to be a bit easier to work with as it would allow me to download snapshots within a time period, which is what I needed for this project.

After running it for ~12 hours on my local machine, it still had not completed, downloading only 11768 of 94518 files.

Instead, I found myself writing a Python based tool that could fetch with much more accuracy using the CDX server[3] and filtering by date, targeting only certain fails and allow for multi threading.

In order to improve the process, and narrow down the data of what is needed, I scoped to just July and December timeframes per year, from 2010 to this year, only targeting html files.

For example:

I like this idea, given that it takes advantage of how git repos are made of bug-fixes. How many git diffs are out there that update a '=' in an if statement to '=='?

so an AI copilot should be watching out for code I write that looks similar to code that was updated in another repo. It could even use the text from issues to synthesize a suggestion of why your code might cause problems!

Dalio actually made his money by operaring as he preached. Based on that we can say it did not cause critical impediment to his progress. That does not validate Meyers-Briggs. Lots of succesful leaders have loved all sort of pseudoscience.
Lets say we're talking about VCs and shareholders. Shouldn't the public enjoy the same expectations? Especially when we're just talking about a zero percent payback?

I think there's a legitimate argument taxes exist for this sort of thing, but (1) taxes arguably are avoided in various ways to the point it's a currently broken system, and (2) this is a rare case where the government has a clear case for a specific amount of money owed by a specific company — why not keep it simple?

If the grants aren't worth paying back at zero percent, the corporation shouldn't be taking them.
I'm thinking of some project I'm working on where you pass in parameters and environment variables and it completely utterly ignores it.

It took me a while to figure it out. To start up the web server it calls some thread "provider" which calls a thread managing library manager, which calls yet another thread managing library which then forks some threads. Of course documentation is non-existent on most of it.

Within this garbled mess their was literally no way to say "I want to debug this as well" by passing down an environment variable.

I had to fork the various dependencies to pass down that. It's not a matter of well documented thoughtful code, that's not the issue. It's spaghetti dreams of teenage imaginations; an infrastructure of sandcastles ravaged by the oceans of time.
There is a summary in the description of the video.

You can use terminal tools on the registry fwiw. Powershell provides a native PSProvider that exposes the registry like a file system so you can cd into it and make changes.

Agree. Video phones are very obvious idea that took a long time to become a reality. I was a kid in the 70s and I remember this 1951 movie made by comedian Tin-tan where he cleverly (for Spanish) names the video phones as "temirofono". Could be translated as "Iseeyouphone".
KSP also allows for a lot of configurations that are mathematically solid, but impossibly expensive or complex IRL. This bends the economies of scale in ways that don’t happen with real rockets.

My favorite example is “asparagus staging”. In a normal rocket “onion staging” is where multiple liquid rockets are wrapped around a center core, and the outside rockets are drained and expended first. This allows greater thrust at takeoff, while ditching weight once you don’t need it. In KSP these outer rockets can be trivially plumbed together to share fuel, so that only 2 rockets are drained at a time. At the end the center core is left fully fueled for continued flight, since only the exterior tanks were drained.

This is mathematically correct and damn near impossible to engineer. The pumping pressures and volumes are just absurd, since every single tank would need external, severable fuel and oxidizer lines capable of feeding a single motor at 100% thrust. There’s a reason why this tends to show up in KSP and not at say, SpaceX.
That's not strictly true. It's the Crown that is the font of all power.

Parliament legislates as the Crown in Parliament - hence the mace must be present in the chambers while Parliament is sitting and all bills must receive royal assent to become Acts of Parliament.

There also exist powers that are (currently) outwith Parliament - namely the royal prerogatives.

The court system is similar, courts derive their power from the Crown, although, of course, they are subject to statute passed by Parliament.

I think we have a fundamental difference on what a compiler should do. I want the compiler to take my exact instructions and generate the best machine code it can, that follows those exact instructions. You want to rewrite my program to be more optimal. The tension here is that, even though I'm sure you can do that, I have to debug the result, and the result I have to debug is now stripped of symbols and super hard to relate back to my original source code. So ok, I am only adding one constraint but it's a big one: don't ever change the line-by-line meaning of my source code. If I wrote a line of code I intended for it to be executed, I don't want my memsets removed or my atomics collapsed, not because you can't do it, but because I need to debug it. I don't think taking advantage of undefined behavior to create optimizations is useful because being wrong 10% faster isn't really that useful. And I think optimizations like removing memsets are a really bad idea; not only does it potentially make peoples data insecure but the only people that are ever going to find a bug like that are people looking for vulnerabilities.

And frankly, here's the thing: I don't care that much about most of your optimizations. If I'm making my code fast, what I'm fretting about is designing my data structures to fit in cache, or using SIMD instructions, or offloading work to the GPU or other coprocessors. Screwing with the meaning of my code just makes my life harder.
I don't know why they just don't use something like Acast which will take care of distribution (or maybe others I don't know of).

The worst part of it is that Spotify's android app is buggy. Actually, that's an understatement: it's garbage. I shouldn't have it hang waiting for network connection just to navigate the offline portions of the app (e.g. downloaded podcasts). Anyone who writes a simple "music player" android app in a weekend or two could handle that case far better.

In any given internet discussion on a non-deterministic topic, there will be at least one person (usually several) who speaks as if they are omniscient (have the ability to accurately read minds, predict the future, know comprehensive reality, etc).
I imagine the DRM is contracted out to a company which the publisher uses for more of their games. The DRM guy or gal comes in a couple days around the end of development, imports some libraries, and sprinkles some function calls here and there. There either isn't the knowledge/time/co-operation to optimize it, or the actual devs are told to stay well away from the DRM stuff to avoid messing something up and causing piracy false positives.

Not that I'm in the know, but it seems likely that publishers can get code into the binary one way or the other.
It's kind of funny that this whole thing is built on top of git but uses none of the features, such as git blame. Instead of being an auto-complete, I would want co-pilot to be a git contributor, making pull requests that improve my code.

Not saving everything to files and not doing things via multiple executables does not mean that a compiler does things in a single step, generating machine code directly from the source code.
Both gcc and clang support the -save-temps switch to keep intermediate files during the compilation process. These files are created even without this argument, except that their names are randomly generated somewhere and the files are deleted afterwards.
There isn't
Good advice:

Some of the best junior devs I work with do this really well, and the more time I spend explaining in detail the more fine details are discovered.

More senior levels should fill in the blanks, from proposing alternatives, to making recommendations or enforcing certain aspects.
In this case Denuvo isn't intrusive either. Even the cracker says that. The DRM causing the issue is a piece of Capcom software.
Founder of a CBDC startup here. We do fully offline smartcard-based CBDC wallets and offline payment protocols, similar to what Mondex was doing in the 90s. This article is very well written, the potential risks stated are mostly true. Our product effectively mitigates most of the downsides and risks since it works completely offline. Its essentially like a credit card that doesn't need external networks such as internet or GSM to operate, its fully peer-to-peer (in this case card to card). If you want to cash out the funds on the card you can just go to the Central Bank (CB) or some Authorized Financial Institution (AFI) and tell them you want to get your money out. The cash control policies are literally the same as cash, there are some upper limits on what amounts you can pay without reporting, and how much you can hold per card. Also the cards are issued with KYC/AML procedures.

CBDCs are a double-edged sword, they can be used by tyrannical governments to enforce surveillance and bigger control, or they can be used by Central Banks to enter the retail digital currency space (which can make digital transactions cheaper, more accessible, and can also make the difference between Retail Bank and Central Bank interest rates lower. To some extent Central Banks also feel threatened by Bitcoin and other decentralized digital currencies). I have no doubt countries will abuse this if implemented, but I also have no doubt that countries with protected liberties will make sure it doesn't cross into surveillance thats outside of the current standard...

Also, its actually much worse with credit card payments. Even Bitcoin is traced significantly (there are multi-billion dollar companies that solely work with governments and financial institutions to trace cryptocurrencies). Also cash is not as anonymous as one might think. Bigger sums are always traced and recorded with the serial numbers on the banknotes, and theres always upper limits of 2K-10K eur of how much you can pay with cash without reporting.
It wasn't a bad book but it could have been an essay. I really liked another book also by Goleman called The Meditative Mind.
It's not clear that it would, or that the execution time of said interpreter would be fast enough to make it work. Miri interprets Rust code and it is, from what I hear, orders of magnitude slower. And for some applications, even debug builds of Rust are too slow. So it really just depends.

(It is also going to be slower than an interpreter focused on runtime speed would be, the point is more that interpreters aren't magic.)
