In 1800s, people packed up on oxen wagons, and crossed the continent on undeveloped trails. If you look at the actual statistics, in early 1900, people used to move around the country more, not less than today.
The backbone virus cannot replicate the new spike attached, so there should be no danger from that experiment. If it infects human cells it will replicate the backbone's spike, not the spliced spike, which does not infect human cells.

It's like your arms are replaced with a chimpanzee's arms. When you have a baby, that baby will have human arms, not chimpanzee's arms.
That would be good advice if you are 100% disciplined, which irl usually means that you're under someone else's discipline.

For most people most of the time, running out of discipline and quitting is the failure point. The relative merits of running vs weights vs judo are trivial relative to the merits of continuous exercise habit throughout your life. You'll naturally gravitate towards little optimisations and improvements anyway, if you keep showing up.

If you're a pro athlete, where showing up is a given, then the difference between high rep and low rep matters. Otherwise, it's like premature optimisation.

Even for pros, like professional writers, the most common advice relates to showing up every day.
Very surprising to see this headline (although I doubt it will come to pass). Given recent movements towards ending the war on drugs (e.g., legalizing Marijuana), it seems rather hypocritical to then try and ban cigarettes. Admittedly this is in the UK, and I’m not super familiar with their politics.
That's useful, since Amazon itself doesn't seem to offer a one-page table of their offerings.
Powerlifting is an actual competitive sport.

My anecdotes (to go with OPs) is that the competitive powerlifters I know have injuries, and the 'gymbro' types who use the big lifts for health and some light bodybuilding, for the most part do not.

Chasing that new ATH is addictive, and a great way to exceed what your body can safely handle.

You’re not buying transit from AWS.

This pig-headed insistence on comparing things that are not alike, and then complaining when called out for disregarding the details, doesn’t warrant further comment.
nnn switched the keybindings around 3+ times while I was using it, and I don't tend to use this kind of stuff more than a few times a month, so it takes a long time to memorize them.
It's a nice tool; I wish it's keybindings didn't forcibly evolve so fast.
Do you know how does the patent licensing works on 5G NR-U? I have been trying to find an answer but literally everyone in the industry are mum about it.

I really really want to see real world usage of NR-U and as a possible replacement of WiFi.
A very nicely done and interesting study on a very relevant topic, with worrying results. Thank you for sharing this! I found the following quote particularly interesting:

"It is suggestive that the timing of the US surge in CDS prevalence coincides with the late 1970s when wages stopped tracking increasing work productivity."
From the explanation of the bug on github it seems to me like this is a client-side database issue and nothing was actually leaked.
Database ids were reused so random images that were previously received were displayed in newly received messages.

Is this correct? If it is then it's probably worth mentioning.
> One study found it can boost muscle growth 400% in young pigs.

The study doesnt say that. It says protein synthesis in vitro (in a test tube) using cultured pig intestinal cells increased by 36-419%.

This doesn't necessarily mean anything at all for increasing muscle mass.

I'm 63. I know a lot of people who took up running, ran hard for a couple of years (maybe won a few races), got a lot of injuries, and no longer run. I ran for the first time on Oct 1 1971, and the most recent time is 12 miles this morning.

I'm for sure not saying I am better than them, because I certainly am not. But I am saying that there is something to just enjoying yourself. I have little adventures four times a week, and still like it. I'm rarely really worn; I'm just not going for that. So that is one reason to think to stay away from sore.

(Of course, if what you want is to win races then go for it.)
The available evidence indicates that this was due to a logic error, not to cosmic rays and/or Android ecosystem diversity.
Our observable universe is just a zany snowglobe knick-knack picked up as a last minute gift for a spoiled little shit in a universe of higher order than ours that's simply imperceivable to us. All of what we know as mass in our universe was suspended in a tiny bowl centered in the globe, the kid gave it one shake, ala the big bang, then sat it on a shelf forever to collect dust as we near unmeasurably slowly eject towards the edges of the globe. Maybe one day he'll pick us back up...
1) As for replacing the cake with "healthy food you enjoy", that is exactly my point. You start with what works. Then out of that you can choose what you enjoy. So, you don't eat tons of cake because that's what you enjoy - you first narrow down to what works, then choose e.g. apples, or whatever.

2) The 2nd part about enjoyment vs dropping I just completely disagree with.

2.1) Enjoyment often builds up with confidence and success, especially in the areas where you make rapid progress as a beginner, like weight-lifting or cardio or most PT really.

2.2) In general, this mindset where you only do things as you enjoy and don't try to develop any grit is terrible, especially for people who don't start out with an advantage in a given area (health, financial, smarts, mood, etc). And more so for people who have self-inflicted problems in a given area - the problems that stem from doing what they "enjoy".
You get very colourful moths too, [poplar] hawk moths (UK) are large and well coloured; some butterflies and fritillaries are dull hues. I've never noticed moths to be particularly downy though?

Wing position and form is how I'd differentiate them. Moths have a delta form at rest and don't close their wings together vertically?
Interesting, if you had more follower on facebook than any on other social media, and turns out, these are the core followers that are not abandoning you after you left facebook. Wouldn't that suggest that Facebook algorithms actually did an excellent service for you and your audience? If so, my reading is that Facebook does a great job overall matching audience with content, and opening a Facebook page seems like a great move!
Sure. But that throws away the advantage of already having an identity.
> We need more businesses, better regulation, sleeker government and policing system.

We need these things for good reasons, but the skill premium is here to stay. Both in the West and even more so (because differences are so vast, and redistributing incomes is not exactly feasible) in developing countries like China and India.

Hormone replacement is probably a good idea once it becomes necessary. That shouldn't be confused with 20 somethings taking 10-100x natural levels of anabolics.
> The fix itself should make it so that database issues like the one that caused this bug can't happen again.

I've said that a few times, and been wrong about it. :D

I don't know what they mean by "where a database ID was re-used", but I guess it had to do with caching, and cache invalidation is one of the hardest part in computer programming.
If you have seen the glacier sims with Elmer, maybe start there and walk back until the simulation is fast.
I don't mean to complain, but where are the details? I have two (very low traffic, so likely to never have come close to hitting this) domains at FreeNom because they're the easiest way to register emoji/punycode domains in obscure gTLDs.

How does FreeNom know how much traffic your domain is getting, especially if you've set up your own DNS servers (which you can do on free domains)?

There are no particulars here and I am very curious to know how this popped up.
> How can users be assured that this type of issue won't occur again?

By not using software.

And I mean software in general, not this software in particular. You're basically asking for assurance that they won't have any more bugs, but no one can actually provide such an assurance in the real world.
Home workouts can be effective. Building muscle (usually) necessitates tearing up your muscle fibers through anaerobic exercise. But that means lifting weights and doing it with good form. At home, you'll have limited options, but exercise bands and adjustable dumbbells can be effective, if a bit repetitive.

I'd suggest a 3x weekly home workout with one additional session with a trainer in a gym. That'll make sure you're making progress and not hurting yourself, and it as variety.

Eating enough is likely going to be the bigger challenge. Happy to provide supplement recs, but even a meal replacement like Soylent will do fine. You'll want to calculate out your macronutrient requirements to figure out what you should be consuming. A trainer can help with that.

It's because of long lines at the DMV. I know it's a meme, but without an appointment (and those can be months in the future), you should expect to wait at least half an hour.

Biggest disappointment of my new Garmin is that they no longer offer the British voices. I got accustomed to the “take the slip road on the left…” every time I got into the highway. But I can’t really complain overall, I tested it out by driving around Washington DC where roads layouts and intersection configurations are just insane and it’s lane assist was spot on, I actually enjoyed the drives.
Anecdotally it feels like it should be more complex than that, as two of the three whose construction I’ve watched to completion since I moved here have ground floor commercial space.
I think you know the poster is taking about programming languages, where the bulk of complexity lies.

I've not done any form of resistance training for sometime, but during the lockdown (in the UK) gyms were shut.

so beacause I couldn't work out in a gym and for some unknown reason, I started a garden project. I think I've moved over 10-15 cubic meters of clay/ soil/ stones in my garden

and boy the delayed onset pain in the few days after is a real joy

Your thesis is non-sequitur, and speaking frankly, degenerate and extraordinarily cynical. Communes are experimental, experiments often fail, that's just the way shit works. Out of those failures, there are communes that have succeeded - you fail to mention them. You don't need gods, or leaders, or governance just the instinctual wanting for both community and self-preservation. Government is reactionary, not preventative,[1] and coercion is endemic to the human population it's tit-for-tat, and even more so in the modern era the great equalizer is among us and widely proliferated. It's not a question of genetic lottery anymore.

Money isn't actually the problem, it is disproportion and, duly, the concentration. That concentration equates to leverage, which is influence. Influence has been used to commit atrocities from times immemorial, it is, if not the foremost then among the foremost elements of human oppression. Historically this has been aceded to by the mass population through various modes of manipulation. It is actually exploitative predation which is founded on artifice, suppression and innate blind spots in social and economic cognition.[2] Worker owned cooperatives, at least superficially, seem to be the only structure that isn't human-perverse which promote both autonomy and community without being disruptively disproportionate in their allotment of power - Mondragon Corporation for example.

[1] Think of how often laws are violated despite the possible consequences: murder, neglect, speeding, embezzlement, bribery...
[2] Artifice being the hard work fallacy, which is actually predominately luck with lottery ticket odds and personal delusions of exceptionalism. Suppression being the ceaseless toil the masses necessarily endeavor in to support their livelihood. Blind spots in being inherently biased towards trust, economic blind spots emerging out of ignorance promulgated by that status quo and the nigh-complete opacity presented to workers.
Social media has given us the illusion of unlimited choice and availability in our social lives. It's like a drug that makes you think the world is at your doorstep, when in reality it's the complete opposite. The single greatest thing a person can do to improve their social life is to delete their social media accounts.
Do you have any resources that explain how saving money hurts others?
It's not though. Sure what you say may be correct in some amount but it has little to do with the comment you responded to and isn't much more than excuse for why ISPs take advantage of their (largely) monopoly powers in the residential internet space.

The reason you don't get a consistent speed and a guarantee as a residential ISP client isn't because of any of the reasons you mentioned. It's because ISPs can force you to pay for their service at whatever price they charge and no matter how bad it is.

The internet could be out for 8 hours a day, you could get sub-dialup speeds consistently, you simply can't connect to some services for some inexplicable reason, or your packet loss could be so bad that you get kicked from services and pages constantly. Guess what, you are still going to pay for it because what's the alternative? No internet at all or satellite internet that goes out whenever a cloud is in the sky and that alots you 1GB a month at 56kbps for 200USD/month.

No matter what a residential ISP does, they will still get their money and even if you service is complete trash you'll grin and bare it lest you end up without access at all. That's the reason we don't get consistent service with residential plans and it won't change until something happens to break us out of the monopolistic regulatory captured environment we are in.

> but it's a crappy way to lose weight

Maybe a crappy way if you are obese.

But AFAIK over years walking will strongly help maintain a good weight and keep you healthy. It certainly does help reduce weight and improve fitness compared to just potatoing. You can do more, but as a minimum starting point it is pretty bloody good.

One observation: people are generally not obese in central London and part of the reason is the few km walking per day to get to and from work via the tube.
Yep, this was the intent. It's a relatively common pattern. We kept it that way for a few releases so people could see it, and we removed the button in the latest release.

I didn't read the article, but measuring military skill by how many battles you win is very tricky business.

To have a battle, you need two armies. If army A is clearly stronger than army B, B will typically admit defeat without going through the unpleasant process of being slaughtered to the last man. At least if they have reasonable expectations of a life after surrender.

So battles that are actually fought are normally pretty even. That doesn't mean every fighting force is equal to every other. The militarily stronger side gets their way by having a credible threat of settling things by force if needed.
What is the standard error on these measurements? And what is the variance, that is does the mean satisfaction represent the majority or are there, say, two populations, one very optimistic and the other less so.

Perhaps that could explain the outlook seen on HN, etc.
Soreness really only tells you that you've done something new, not that you're improving. Do the same exercise for just a couple of weeks and soreness will rapidly decrease.
A) You get what you pay for.

B) The top-level domains offered here are absolute garbage and are generally seen as problematic. See A.

C) Freenom has a lot of power as the holder of its namespace. Don't like that? Bring it up with ICANN.

Because the Internet is built around a lot of abstractions that only make sense in light of the historical context at the time the technology was originally adopted, it really doesn't lend itself to being friendly to newbies. These people are actively preyed upon by a hostile industry full of shady operators.
Functional, behavioral definitions of consciousness tend to be straightforward, and notably don't obviously have any connection with quantum physics:

You conclude that an entity is conscious because it demonstrates a rich understanding of itself, enough to communicate meta thoughts about itself and its own self-awareness.

From functional definitions like that, it would seem that a theory of consciousness (that could result in designing systems with consciousness) would be about designing systems with a rich interactive understanding of themselves and their environment. I.e. senses, motor control, decision making ability, theory making ability (i.e. the "understanding") and memory of the external and internal operations of all that (i.e. "self-awareness"), and ability to communicate about all that.

--

The other side of consciousness, the experiential side, presents greater difficulty in analysis. Nobody but you truly knows how you experience your awareness of self. Nobody but you knows what red "looks" like to you in your mind.

I think this is an important topic, but a lot of the mystery comes from the fact that we currently can't actually experiment on our experiences with any subtlety.

We have roughly 100 billion neurons in our brain. If that were 100 billion neurons in computer hardware we could easily selectively deactivate all kinds of pathways, or cohorts of neurons, reducing a brain to its simplest form while retaining consciousness.

We could integrate in all kinds of monitoring logs at any point.

And if we were self-aware computers ourselves, we could integrate directly between our own minds and that of our experiments in various ways.

In other words, we would have tools to scientifically explore conscious systems directly. Instead we have only the grossest of options: drugging our 100 billion neurons, etc.

--

The difficulty in experimentation maintains a high wall of mystery around consciousness for all practical purposes.

For some reason, humans seem to like conjecturing that different mysteries are causally linked, simply because they are both mysteries.

I.e. the mystery of consciousness, the mysteries (real or perceived) of quantum mechanics, the mystery of where the universe came from, mysteries of interpreting dreams, perceived mysteries of living things, etc.

But I don't think quantum mechanics is linked to any general understanding of consciousness. In particular, I predict that the consciousness of any artificial minds we produce in the future won't be hampered by being digital, i.e. internally classical, in function.
Seems kinda silly to post this to HN before the public announcement and before there's any actual documentation or good example materials available.

Why not just let Keno post this once he's ready? This stuff annoys me because it's probably the reason that this repo was private for the last year instead of public.
The homeless are there, to provide the lowest working-poor caste the illusion, that there is always a even lower station in life that fate could have delt them.
Yeah I was confused by this title last time (this post seems to be a repeat from a week or two ago)

Edit: seems that the link is different from last time. The GitHub README that this links to gives a much better introduction to this project than the previously linked website [0] does (in terms of quickly understanding what it is).

Plus it looks like a really great project.

Right. What really makes this work is that Amazon builds their own specialized routers.[1] They have a control plane hidden from their customers, one which lets them set customer-visible MAC and IP addresses more or less arbitrarily.

My perception is that people on the 'consumer' side of parasocial relationships do feel understood, and that that feeling is their main motivation for taking part in the relationship. The feeling is no less real for being the product of automated market research and micro-targeting, instead of personal intimacy.

This is the solution we need in all OS's.

Excellent work.
Right. Its not their job to do city planning, they were just looking to invest in something. Its hard to say when one becomes greedy, does trying not to end up in debt count? What does it matter really, motivation changes nothing to the situation.
Do you have a hobby? I build model airplanes and collect old telephones, when I can afford them. There are rich communities behind these and that has given me a social life outside of the internet.
Every time this comes up, someone shows up to say it doesn’t matter what exercise program you follow. That’s not correct.

There’s a big difference between someone lifting weights somewhere near their genetic capacity and someone spending many hours per week racking up long, slow distance on the road. Or someone spending a few hours waving one pound dumbbells around.

If you want to be able to get out of your chair at 95 and not develop osteoporosis, you need to engage in load bearing exercise. If you want to add cardio to that - do it faster. You’ll get your HR to 80%, no problem.

I’m 80. I lift about twice a week for about 90 min each time. On the off days, I walk for an hour, usually over hills, since walking on the flat doesn’t get my HR up enough, and I don’t want to stress my knees by jogging.

I think the lady looks great, probably a lot better than she would if she was a runner.
"100,000 meters per day for a month" is pretty clearly per day, 30 times, though.
Yeah, distributions often have really crap branding. Eg finding relevant resources for NixOS can be tough because "nix" is often used as a shorthand for the set of all Unix-like systems.
