You know, I didn’t find it that surprising either.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell me about these edge cases of hypoglycemia. I feel like I did a reasonable job describing how it works for individuals on insulin therapy.

I have not found much in medical literature that says hypoglycemia is anything other than abnormal and dangerous condition that should be treated immediately.

This study starts out with the lines, for example, “Among otherwise healthy adults, there is a subgroup of individuals who develop symptoms of hypoglycemia during episodes of food restriction.”

https://www.nature.com/articles/1602785

It appears these medical researchers do not consider hypoglycemia during periods of fasting normal or healthy.

Of course this is kind of reductive and silly but I see the analogy as taking Ethereum as Money (abstracted labour power), there are those who have to put said labour power into the system, and those who don't. This too: "But the ruling class now feels that’s too much because it amounts to a lot of value for the work. So the ruling class changes the rule of 5 Eth per block to 4 Eth per block.", mirrors the contradiction of wages and surplus value in the capitalist mode of production. The thing is regardless of the form of abstracted labour power, those who hold large sums of a commodity are free to buy lots and make an easy turnover in the market world, resulting in easy power in most societies as well.
I see, so essentially this:

What has one to do with the other though? Writing (and "architecting") good software is mainly craftmanship which is learned via experience, not something that requires a "formal degree". The years at university are probably a good place to get some of that experience, but "computer science" is mostly tangential to the actual problems of programming.
Author here. We created Bagua so that we can train neural networks faster by combining existing system optimizations for distributed training (for example, bucketing multiple tensors and communicate at once), and cutting edge distributed optimization algorithms (such as quantized gradients and decentralized optimization).

The benefit is huge when the network is limited (for example you don't have a 100Gbps connection between all machines), since Bagua dramatically reduces the communication overhead between machines.

The communication backend is written in Rust, and we plan to support native distributed training for Rust. We appreciate any feedback!

I think this is because of the short and fast phased nature of the TikTok content. Instead of publishing 10 to 30 min videos...

Thanks, you just revalidated my opinion. I had vaguely understood TikTok to be more transient in communication, with less substance, but I never bothered to find out myself. However, I had slowly grown an inkling of curiosity whether there might be something in there in TikTok, actually. You just saved me an hour of eventually signing up and seeing it for myself.

You see, it's exactly the 30-90 minute videos from good people, that I like on Youtube... My kind of fun, I suppose.
Just window fans and shutters can go a long way to keeping houses cool. A tactic I like to use a lot in the wee months of the summer is to use a window fan to let cold air in at night, then put the shutters up during the morning to try and keep the night cold air inside as long as possible while still having some ventilation. Along with a ceiling fan this works very well, unless the night doesn't cool down enough.
wow, compare it with current fires in Greece
Miners are most definitely not the working class and they're not doing any useful work. This sounds harsh because most individual miners aren't hostile in any way - but if miners were a one entity, there would be no exaggeration at all.

Collectively, paying miners is like paying the mob to not destroy the system, as they are only group with the power to do so. Without miners at all attacks would be impossible. 51% attacks on ETC show that the threat is real.

The working class are users - people using and building on ethereum. Their wealth is continuously drained by the mob, but there is hope - a wall staffed by militia is being slowly erected. It's called proof of stake, and once finished, the mob can finally be told to fuck off.
In the meantime the absolute value of protection money paid to the mob has grown several times, making it possible to reduce the protection payments percentage rate without impacting security of the people.
Though bears are not koalas I wonder why there's no compassion campaign in the worldwide media? Nobody gathering financial aid and doing any other such things.
I found this to be a good follow up to "“the book", ideal for anyone who has learned some of the basics of Rust and needs to consolidate their knowledge. I find "typing along" to examples is a great way to learn, and the included projects are a lot of fun. Plenty of additional practical information about systems programming too if you are new to that as well.
That's even better, and certainly I agree that's a very valid use-case. Whatever the new feature is, I'm fine with it --- it's the presentation of it that saddens me.

> low barrier to entry for creating new content

This is because the TikTok app has a very good toolset for creating the content. For YouTubers, creating a content means hours of filming and days of editing because high production requires that and AFAIK YouTube leaves all the implementation details to you. Many YouTubers have Hollywood level production workflow.

On the TikTok app you have all the means to edit the video on the spot. It's not Hollywood level production but it is still good. When TikTokers do something with high grade production, it feels off.
A fan won't help you when outside air is 33°C, 75% humidity.

Also, AC units double as fans when the compressor is off.

I bought a portable AC this summer, and it's a night-and-day difference in quality of life (particularly for my pregnant wife and my 2yo daughter). Pre-AC, July was mostly unbearable, with temperatures around 34°C during the day, dropping below 30°C only around 20:00 or later.

Last week we had some cooler days (~24°C), so the compressor in the AC stays off most of the time - running the unit is just like running a fan, except I get to duct the exhaust and intake air with flexi-pipes, making it possible to create patterns of air flow that refresh the air in the whole apartment.
This has been depicted in The Expanse TV show, FWIW. It's a neat horror scene.

Apple has always been ripe with hypocrisy, It's astonishing to see people claiming the latest incident to be like the only blemish on its record.

If a lone developer from some village releases a software and makes a claim that its secure we'd rush to ask for source code, 3rd party security audit and what not; But if Apple asks for our trust because it's Apple, Why not the hardware is shiny right?

When did the premise for security shift from 'zero trust' to 'Apps open fast, So I'm fine with it'?

I mean “collectively” in the sense that some control one part and others control a different part, not that everyone has equal control over everything. In this sense it is also a description of America or even a hypothetical anarcho-capitalist zone.

The sum of all the stuff that all the people own or otherwise control is the sum of the wealth. That sense of “collectively”.
And? They lose absolutely nothing by asking.
Yup, we need to be careful not to beggar current residents or create more resentment toward environmental initiatives. Offer subsidies in the beginning, and after a while, simply begin to tax electricity along with its pollution effects; price in the externalities. But we're a _long_ way from doing that in the US. We can't even get people to take the train from a park-and-ride to work and back!
If a VanishingCoin will lose half its value in a week, and I buy and sell it in a second, using it as a fast cheap safe transaction, then my cost will be at least equal to (1/2)^(1 sec/1 week) of the transaction. VanishingCoin will be outcompeted by SteadyCoin, which is just as fast, cheap and safe, and doesn't lose its value.
I would imagine most Ethereum miners are pretty well off by now, so the "working class" analogy is really off.

Also "the ruling class" can not really force their rules on others.

Everybody participating in cryptocoins right now is hopefully aware that it is an experiment with uncertain outcomes. So the "promises were broken" thing doesn't really convince me, either. I don't think the users of Ethereum were promised a finished product.

"Code is law" also only applies if people accept the law. In the DAO case, people decided to change the law, or stick to Ethereum classic.
The thing is, I think it's more than fortune telling. The social media business model is very dirty, it's an addiction machine coupled with selling your data to the highest bidder. The end result will invariably be the same.

It's like free image hosting or free file hosting. A "better", "cleaner" hoster appears and then they either go bankrupt or they sell out.

Some stuff is just predictable at this point.

Social media should be an utility, we just haven't leveled up our civilization enough to know how to manage social media utilities. It took decades for us to do it for electricity & co.
> No moral questions are seriously considered about whether changing this rule is a breach of the promise made at the time of the constitution of the community.

Why GitHub's Codex May Not Work
I haven't used seaweedfs yet, but it looks better (and small file/object performance should be miles better). W.r.t. to fsync/durability with the seaweedfs API to a volume server you have to turn fsync on via paramter and it is disabled by default. With S3 it is probably also off by default and you can turn it on per bucket: https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/wiki/Path-Specific-Co... .

Both should default to fsync on, with the option to turn it off. So not a great choice of defaults. Again, it probably looks good in benchmarks when people naively compare S3 stores. But it just shouldn't eat your data per default.

If you count false positives, you can recreate your filter when you get a specific count of false positives. If you also count true positives, you can recreate the filter when the ratio between true and false positives hits some number.

Still needs tuning though, depends on how costly it is to generate (and transfer, if needed) vs how costly a false positive is.
> Agile is a tool for feature-dominated webcrap where "sort of works" is good enough. It's not useful for, say, database internals or hard real-time.

Have to disagree there. The basic point of "agile" methods is to promote small-scale teams (with the fabled "two-pizza team" at the largest end) doing heavily-iterative development with an emphasis on refactoring and continuous delivery ("release early and often"). There's no reason why this could not work for these sorts of projects.
That’s awesome. Thank you.
However, you can make problems appear by pretending they do exist.
The fun of writing an interpreter is that you can extend it with new features easily. With `eval $1` you're stuck with whatever it does (unless you want to do string manipulation of code -- it's only usually a bad idea :-) )

The book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is organized by types of abstractions. The first three sections are about procedures, data, and modularity, but then the fourth is about abstracting language itself (called "metalinguistic abstraction"). This was a principle used often in classic AI research, where you built specific languages to implement different planning systems -- incidentally this is why it's called "scheme". By building a lisp in a lisp, you could make use of all the facilities of the host language and add new useful features. The book demonstrates how to add lazy evaluation, nondeterministic operators, and even Prolog-style logic programming to the language.

These sorts of interpreters depend on having a compatible host language. The last section is about how you can transcend limitations by essentially simulating an appropriate CPU in the host language (i.e., a virtual machine). This is how the original Scheme was implemented in its host Lisp, which was necessary because Scheme has tail recursion and Lisps haven't traditionally had that.
+1 on the astonishingness (hm...) of mechanics in general, and Linotypes in particular. Some time ago I watched a fairly good movie on how they work. I think it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzilaRwoMus . Those things not jamming every fifteen seconds is nothing short of a miracle. Some useless knowledge for everyone who is curious. =)
> addicts simply end up consuming more grams to get similar highs.

That doesn’t really work with kratom. There’s a ceiling to the effects, unlike regular opiates (which kratom is not) and consuming more doesn’t produce stronger enjoyable effects. It tops out at about codeine level, or perhaps 1 hydrocodone.
Agile methods are not designed for "younger, less experienced programmers". They work best for enabling successful, experienced hackers.
Maybe you should look this stuff up and figure it out, as opposed to guessing that it's based on "extreme environmental political undercurrents". It's not like the location of the fires is a state secret. Effectively you're promulgating a conspiracy theory.

As I've stated elsewhere, it's well understood that commercially viable logging on public land (here in Australia at least) is not particularly effective for fire suppression (due to what's left over and what's left on the ground) and it wouldn't surprise me if it's true elsewhere. Maybe it's different in Oregon but there seems to be a surfeit of people "guessing" that it's somehow all the Greenies' fault.

A lot of comments here criticise the analogies made in the post. While the criticism might be correct, I feel this is like missing the forest because of the trees..

Etherium, and most crypto-currencies for that matter, were initially made to fix a broken financial system, where banks unjustly control too much wealth, and changes the rules so that they will always control too much wealth.

Etherium does not fix this, it merely copies this system, with all its flaws(and some new ones). That is why etherium is pointless. It does not provide value to society, as it utterly fails to solve the problem it identified.

There is no other crypto-currency that does solve this problem, but then I guess some of them never tried to in the first place.

Your argument really does not have a leg to stand on.

The concept of "inlining" a function is Programming 101. The mechanism of how to achieve it is what is specific to a language/runtime. You check the syntax/semantics/documentation and figure it out aka problem-solving. Not a big deal and no need to make unwarranted claims/charges against the language as a whole.
Fans cool humans by applying the evaporative cooling effect on the skin through sweat (and convection, in certain cases). At 75% humidity, the sweat will not evaporate. You need dehumidification in those conditions for a fan to have an effect. It would be interesting to see how much more energy efficient a dehumidifier and a fan can be than just an AC, but currently it makes more sense for most folks to just buy an AC. After all, a dehumidifier is very similar to an AC.

Someone else in this thread linked to https://www.nuscool.com/our-technologies/ which looks like a combination desiccant dehumidifier and an evaporative cooler. That may be a more efficient alternative, depending on the lifetime and maintenance of the desiccant.
Feature-wise, AC is a strict superset of fans - an air conditioner contains a fan. When there's no need to cool or heat the air, the compressor is kept off, making it no different than a fan.
Psychedelics would be a much better choice for that sort of therapy. Opiates would be about as effective for psychological treatment as alcohol.
I'd say its true for some individuals, not corporations. I don't want to give a blanket statement and say everyone works better from home, thats my whole problem with the blanket statement that everyone works better from the office. Give people a choice where they can still do their job either way

CamNote – Take a Easy Note Is Released for All Countries
None of the experiments in the article seem indicative of animals/crows understanding the concept of zero as a symbol for nothing. All animals understand the concept of "none" or "not present", and can possibly count, but they don't necessarily map a symbol to represent absence.

> The crows mixed up a blank screen more often with images of a single dot than they did with images of two, three or four dots.

This can very well happen even if there is no understanding of zero as a symbol. You're looking for nothing, and the screen with 1 dot is almost that - in terms of the existing symbol occupying the least space, closest to nothing. Not evidence of a mapping of nothing to a symbol at all.
You could do that. The point of the feature isn't to prevent that.

The feature has two functions. The first is to decrease the severity of the consequences if a conversation partner's device falls into the wrong hands, say a government who wants to use chat messages as evidence, a corporate competitor who stole the phone, or just a friend who is rifling through your unlocked phone.

The other purpose is to make it easier to participate in a social contract where your chat history won't be kept around forever for all participants to dig up in the future. Yes, someone could modify the client code, or take screenshots, or do any number of things to preserve data. You still have to take care about what you send. But most people won't, because it is additional effort and generally people want to adhere to social contracts.

Security is never all or nothing. It is always about taking as many reasonable steps as you can to limit your risks.
