I might be a paranoiac here, but I prefer to keep a somewhat-permeable whitelist instead of a blacklist. Make sure 2/3ish of my calories come from healthy animal proteins (I raise pigs and chickens and trade meat and eggs for beef, so I know exactly what's going into what's going into me), drink almost exclusively water (2-5 expressos a day are worth mentioning too), and then fill in the rest with whatever the hell I want.

Don't have to be careful with particular ingredients if you have a steady baseline of known-good, nutrient-dense, healthful calories. Also never have to waste on time on bullshit like this--oh, no, maybe aspartame ISN'T good for you! or, What did the NYTimes says about Splenda? or what the NIH researched about highly-processed factory-produced fake meat. Ignore it all, eat reasonable, old-school food.

In one kind of way it's kind of like that story you hear about Steve Jobs wearing the same black shirt and jeans every day--it actually is a consequential decision--what to eat vs. how to present yourself. But, if you can pre-set some defaults that get you to Good Enough (and in the case of my diet, apparently Better Than 95% of Americans), you save so much mental energy. It seems to me most "nutritional research" serves the purposes of large agribusiness and/or fad-nutrition industries. Why bother spending mental effort on that bullshit?

I don’t know the minimum amount equipment needed to make these chips, but his garage is stuffed with old but still expensive equipment (if you need to buy it on eBay.) Things like a wire bonder, an electron microscope, a vacuum chamber etc.

I think that most of these were donated to him though.
Ostensibly your working set should be in your TLBs either way. If you're thrashing your TLB and causing page table walks regularly, 5 versus 6 memory accesses per fetch is rough regardless. If that's showing up in your profiler traces you should start looking at techniques like huge pages to better fit within your TLBs.

You can see this in how, at worse case, a hardware virtualized page table walk can take 20 memory accesses by my count if it completes without trapping, Host addresses will by definition all reference the same PML4, so that'll be cached, but everything else could have to go all the way out to DRAM. In practice the overhead of that is typically in the low single digit percentage range.
It’s hard to be at the table when decisions are made when you’re at home, and I just don’t think being on zoom is going to cut it.
Processed meats and red meats are linked to colorectal cancer. I believe it's something like 70% of CRC cases can be traced back to red/processed meat consumption.

>In 2007, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) stated that there is convincing evidence linking the consumption of red and processed meat with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The WCRF further stated that the public should limit their intake of red meat to below 500 g per week, and avoid processed meat entirely. A further update from the WCRF emphasized that no safe level of processed meat could confidently be attributed to a lack of risk.

The Guardian is just a distribution channel. Academics and the conservation groups that back them stand to benefit by sounding an alarm since that helps them raise funds and get grants. Not a judgement on the legitimacy of the concern but that's just the incentive behind these articles.

No, nothing else as far as tts is concerned. It is my workstation however so it's doing a million other things simultaneously. Full disclosure, I have no idea how far the tts can be pushed on it but it is single threaded so there is room for more should there be a need for it.

A 90kg human is above the US national average, though about on target for US men. 81kg is the US average body weight with women around 73kg. So for women, that means the quantity they'd need to consume to reach that level is around 16 cans. 16 cans translates to 192 oz, or about 1.5 gallons.

That is indeed quite a bit, but about twice what's recommended by volume for water consumption for women.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple’s motivation is the liability they’re facing for having so much CSEM on they’re servers generated by children themselves during a year in near isolation.

The strain of rat used in these experiments, the Sprague Dawley, is commonly used to study cancer because it has a higher baseline incidence of cancer and grows solid tumors faster than other strains [1].

Interestingly, it’s the same strain that was used in the now-discredited study purportedly showing that RoundUp causes cancer [2].

What happens if someone tries to coerce Apple into writing backdoor code? Engineers at Apple could resist, resign, slow roll the design and engineering process. They could leak it and it would get killed.
Things would have to get very very bad for that kind of pressure to work.

On the other hand, once Apple has written a backdoor enthusiastically themselves, it's a lot easier to force someone to change how it can be used. The changes are small and compliance can be immediately verified and refusal punished. To take it to its logical extreme: you cannot really fire or execute people who delay something (especially if you lake the expertise to tell how long it should take). But you can fire or execute people who refuse to flip a switch.

This technology deeply erodes Apple and its engineers' ability to resist future pressure. And the important bit here is there adversary isn't all powerful. It can coerce you to do things in secret, but its power isn't unlimited. See what happened with yahoo.[0]

The possible danger is part of the appeal though isn't it? We let people go cave diving and mountain climbing. I mean I'm not advocating for just anyone to go in structurally unsound buildings, trespassing is illegal for a good reason, but part of me appreciates the human curiosity of wanting to see what is inside areas that have been abandoned. Whether its the Paris catacombs, the NY subway tunnels, or a factory in Detroit there is often a good story in the remains.

Covid is really a sad situation for the whole world. The disease itself, so many dead and so many people (including myself) missing our loved ones who are gone. And the state of the world as a result, the anxiety, fear, the loss of liberties, the loss of economic potential, the depression and isolation and distrust of other people, all of it, the world is a worse place as a result of covid.

I think the article is right, much as I wish it weren't. We have lost the war against the illness, it was not eradicated in time and it cannot be eradicated now. But we don't have to lose everything, we just have to accept that covid is here to stay. It's not the fight against the virus anymore, it is the fight against ourselves that is our refusal to acknowledge our failure. We lost, it is here to stay. But it was one hell of a fight for sure, the world can look at this and say that we united, however inefficiently and haphazardly, and sacrificed greatly, only that we were not victorious. That to me is very beautiful, and if we can accept our failure with grace and genuine acknowledgement of the truth we are faced with, even more so.
s/engage/talked to? whether you tell them they're delightful or a creepy perp, you're _talking_ to them. You're expending energy which is the opposite of a up/down vote or a like which requires no energy and doesn't add (or subtract) anything from the conversation.

Of course as you point out, not all conversations are positive ones, but I like the idea of optimizing for more conversation in general.

Also I don't claim that it's going to work out or that all voting is bad (in general on HN it seems useful), but I like the idea of trying something different.

If the problem is as pornel described, you can work around it by creating the borrow of self.whatever outside the closure.

Instead of:

foo(|| {
bar(&self.whatever);
});

... do:

let whatever = &self.whatever;
foo(|| {
bar(whatever);
});

To avoid leaking `whatever` into the scope, there's an idiom that looks like this:

foo({
let whatever = &self.whatever;
|| {
bar(whatever);
}
});
true, but as an engineer do you really care? its just a spring board to the next job.
You imply that the long term risks of covid-19 are known, so conflating the unknown/imaginary risks of both, that leaves getting the vaccine a better deal, because 'you have less change of getting sick'.
Anyone that has ever taken a class in molecular biology or biophysics knows that it's ridiculously complex. Many drugs that look promising in vivo or in animals fail to perform in humans. Empirical evidence is what counts. Even targeted enzyme inhibitors are made by a shotgun approach. Synthesize 1000s of candidates and try them all to see which ones work best in vivo and then try those in animals and then try those winners in humans.
Turning old processes into a startup is what Melexis did 30+ years ago: they acquired obsolete fabs in Eastern(?) Europe and repurposed them to make sensors, which don’t need state of the art processes.

The 180nm open source eFabless shuttle runs that are sponsored by Google are done by X-fab, which is owned by Melexis’ founder as well.

I don’t see how this garage stuff (impressive as it is!) can be turned into a startup. It’s not as if there is some kind of breakthrough here?

Death meditations are common in a lot of faiths. In Islam it's mentioned in hadith, Christianity has the practice of memento mori. And even in Time there was a tradition that during a Triumph, a large parade for a successful military commander and one of the greatest honors that could be bestowed on a person, a slave would be tasked to sit by the commanders ear during the celebration and whisper "remember you will die". I think it's naturally something a lot of people could gain from
Taxpayers want to avoid dying and these corporations want to sell them a vaccine to achieve that. Seems like a nearly perfect alignment of interests to me
Is there any reason not to assume they don’t for software engineers as well?

Honest question, I assume this isn’t covered by two-party consent of recording. Are there any legal frameworks covering employee monitoring in the US or on the state level?

Is it different if alerted on violation as opposed to a manager browsing their employees activity on a whim?

The physical store likely has a warning saying they “contain chemicals known to cause cancer.” Because these warning signs are so ubiquitous in California you probably just miss it when you go to the brick & mortar.
A plausible mechanism of action is no where near good enough. Molecular biology is crazy complicated and lots of things that sound plausible don't work (and maybe do the opposite). I'll take "it works, but we don't know why" over "this is why we think it might work" every time.
No such strategy could exist because if it did, if your opponent randomly implemented the same strategy then it would force itself to lose
I saw another study that showed only processed meats were linked to colon cancer recently. Variety and moderation, avoid processed foods. I don’t think red meat is the culprit people make it out to be /in a healthy and balanced diet/.
And yet they remain. So is it too far? If it were too far, they would get regulation slap on the wrists, or it would be impossible to find employees for their positions. So as long as the signals of being too far, there's no need for them to change behavior. (from their PoV at least)
Red meat.
well crap I just wrote a response lecturing you on the Five Eyes collusion before reading the last two lines of your post. :P

There exists a kind of sufficiently advanced stupidity that it can only be constructed by really smart people. People who are smart enough to rationalize doing something which is transparently wrong.
Startups that go through an incubator or that are seed/VC funded typically qualify more free credits. The CSPs offer this in the hope that as the company grows so does their cloud spend. Couple that with the fact that it becomes harder to switch and they more than make up for the initial free credit that was fronted.

Alicorn seems to sidestep the incentive model for CSPs entirely, I wonder if they'll add a clause to their free credit programs.
To be sure, the jury is still out on this, but there is at least reason to be concerned about aspartame’s like to certain neurological problems as well:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23280025/

Also, it still spikes your insulin. Better to just avoid it and sugar altogether as much as possible.
I mean I don’t consider myself an elitist but as a software engineer who just moved from doing dev work on a Mac to a Windows laptop, I’m so frustrated by how bad the experience is compared to the Mac. I love the new job but even these $2000 Dell laptops feel junky in comparison to a similarly priced MacBook Pro. I’m constantly having problems with my audio devices (which is a necessity during the pandemic) the built in microphone is terrible, the webcam on the laptop is on the BOTTOM of the screen which just makes me look super fat because reasons I guess. It’s like how a fish doesn’t realize it’s in water until it flops up on the shore.
Is DMSO really a replacement for acetone in most applications?
My thoughts - why do likes accumulate to a user? You want likes to signal that the article/comment is interesting. But what value is it to assign the number of likes to the person who posts it? Like in stack overflow, I haven't used it for ages but my points are still there, they should die off after a while I feel. This would remove the karma chasing you get on reddit and would, perhaps, make things more reasonable. It's nice to get the serotonin kick when you accumulate thousands of points on a post - but its fundamentally meaningless and encourages weird behaviour.
> Why is it composing e.g. ´ + e into é when that's the default behavior without composing?

It's not “the default behavior”, its just what certain keyboard layouts (US-International, for instance) do.
Considering how widespread Aspartame on a societal level, you'd think there'd be epidemiologic evidence of increasing cancer rates over that time. Maybe there is some literature on it, but I hadn't heard.
> conservation efforts should consider how culture affects reproduction, dispersal and survivorship.

Yes indeed.

> Understanding who holds cultural knowledge in a population can be key

Revolutionaries and conquerors understand this too.

> The [matriarch] female’s experience of [...] which other social units are friendly has a demonstrable knock-on effect

Certainly it's been important in my family.

> However, when a population has lost its cultural knowledge, there may be circumstances where it can be reignited.

We can only hope.
These studies are all incredibly weak, because they rely on surveys and pluck variables out for correlations. So besides the fact that people almost never remember or accurately report what they eat over many years, it's a dubious correlation that can't be relied on.
And, if birth is possible, why wouldn't rebirth be possible, or even the extreme default?

It just seems silly to deny possibilities.
Coin-op machines in many cases, have a big box with coins inside. The dilemma is, do you make the box like Fort Knox so that when the determined thief breaks in you lose the contents and have a huge replacement/repair cost? Or do you leave it easier to break into, lowering the replacement/repair cost? [1] The judgement by Amazon may be to take the risk on an easier package.

[1] I used to work at a company that built coin-operated gambling machines such as video poker machines.
Sorry, but aside from an occasional guy pushing an ice cream cart, I do not normally see vendors at local parks in United States. I recall once I was solicited to buy firewood at a county park, but when those guys saw the park ranger coming they drove away. I cannot think of a single instance when I saw a bolted-down structure selling food or anything else in a park, or anything with commercial signs. Those belong on a regular street in a business district.

The closest I've seen to what you're describing is designated areas for food vendors at county fairs, food trucks at swap meets, and vending machines near the restrooms at highway rest areas.

Regardless of the "rent", I do not see how shipping lockers are appropriate for a park. Even the post office does not put mailboxes inside a park. And if this is OK for Amazon does that mean UPS, FedEx, AliBaba, and whoever else can join in??

Yes, this is what corruption looks like.
A mask at this scale would just be a few hundred dollars I think (chrome on glass)?
Your comment is a bit all over the place, but I like the idea of analyzing the root cause instead of the symptoms.

They taste different to cane sugar / corn syrup but good/bad is subjective and something you get used to. I used to not like it but now my taste adjusted it and now I don't like the "real sugar" flavor.
Its actually easy to dispose of, just neutralize with calcium carbonate (forms safe insoluble calcium fluoride) and dispose of down the drain or in the trash. Just don't get it in on your skin in the process. There are other options to neutralize as well.

Apple is a trillion dollar company with a lot of smart people. You could probably get them to design a system of N of M parts for recovery, or an apple branded key holder that you can store in your bank vault and friends houses. If they wanted to they'd do it.
Funny that Facebook had no issue with Cambridge Analytica until Cambridge Analytica became an issue. Let's also ignore the fact that Cambridge Analytica was a private foreign company illicitly compiling data to influence US elections. But yes by all means, it's no different than a research group and volunteers studying an algorithm. You definitely nailed it.
I've seen lots of concern about preservatives, colors, and flavorings in foods as well, but sweeteners have a more pronounced role as replacements for sugar. This makes them far more visible in general.
It’s standard in the finance industry where risk management is the highest priority.
It’s an odd thing to ‘wake up’ to the reality that you’re dreaming. Any tips on getting into that state again would be welcome. It tends to happen for me after I’ve been pretty focused/mindful of the present for some time.
These are not common food ingredient, and they are not supposed to be injested. I was doing the dishes the other day, and like usually, doing a terrible job--trying to save water too. I was thinking what damage could soap residue do? I then noticed the Dawn Soap. From and center they listed all the ingredients. (So front and center it looks like a lawyer told them to place the ingredients front, and center?) Do I still love Dawn soap--yes, but not for my dishes anymore. (Machine shops use Dawn to clean parts, and it works great on oily birds.

My point is the amount of chemicals around us. An No--I'm not claiming anything bad about Dawn Soap.
