Didn’t work in my case. I could fast 16 - 18 hours a day without difficulty. But I made up for it in what I ate in the remaining. Always felt hungry and ate more than I should when not fasting. Still gained weight. Tried IF for months without losing weight, and actually gained a little.
For things that happen with a small probability over lots of trials you can generally assume they're approximately Poisson distributed.

Which on its own isn't too helpful but then you know that the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the average. In this case both values bracket 100 so the square root should be around 10 making this a difference of roughly 5 standard deviations.

This isn't a Gaussian distribution so the 5-sigma limit used in physics can't be applied directly, but it's still a pretty big difference, especially for medical data.

You could (and in some cases should) do the work to get a proper number for the significance but this back of the napkin estimate suggests it's a statistically meaningful difference. And this being a calculation that can be done at the top of one's head, it is useful when the news reports on a change in some statistic that isn't anywhere close to significant.

DAI is still an extremely important in decentralized finance. It is simply easier to scale a centralized stable coin than a collateralized one as the collateralized one is less capital efficient. The centralized coin has different risk parameters though, such as a bank run scenario or the fact that USDC funds can be frozen at will by Circle.
"waste" is purely subjective. Is it wasteful that televisions exist just because I don't like watching them? What if televisions used more or less resources? Shouldn't the actual quantities matter more than our opinions about the merits of the activity?

DuckDB has a few options for custom functions! I'm not sure exactly how optimized they are relative to what you have in mind, but I believe there is still quite a lot of query optimization that you get out of the box.

The first option is to create a macro:
https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/statements/create_macro

The second is Python-specific, but you can have UDF's straight from Python! It's on the roadmap to scale this to the other supported languages.
https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/1569

In general, I also think that SQL is still abstracting a lot of the complexity you would have to handle in an imperative language. These holistic moving averages are actually a great example of why I love SQL! I just learn the WINDOW functions syntax once and it works for many queries.
Yep, and Mailgun requires a domain as well, they just don't do anything with it for filtering this behavior.
But the odds of getting Covid are far less than the odds of getting the vaccine.

You have to compare the odds of getting the vaccine (100%) AND getting myocarditis with Moderna versus the odds of being exposed to Covid AND getting a breakthrough case with Pfizer AND getting myocarditis from said breakthrough case with Pfizer since the vaccine makes the symptoms of breakthrough cases milder anyway.

The problem is that getting the vaccine is a 100% event, versus a far less than 100% event in scenario 2 (breakthrough Covid case with Pfizer that causes myocarditis in that age group specifically). Add up ALL the maths.

Edit - this isn't a vaccine versus no vaccine comparison. This is vaccine versus vaccine. Pfizer (in the current recommended dose) has proven very effective AND safer. Also, what percentage of breakthrough cases with Pfizer have resulted in myocarditis? Maybe that particular stat changes the risk profile. I'm guessing it's low though.

Edit 2 - also maybe the risks of Moderna can simply be reduced by reducing the dosage. Who knows. More testing will occur over time I'm sure.

No there are not. Your account is old enough to have known that there aren't even that many comments at all on this page. IIRC, comments never get deleted, only flagged.

Reading this really drove home to me just how amusing some of the twists and turns of music tech development are. In contemporary modular synth formats, you now have modules that use similar FM tone chips, but are controlled by potentiometers and analog control voltage inputs (for instance, https://busycircuits.com/alm011/). I could see how someone could conclude that this destroys the reproducibility advantages of digital FM synthesis, while preserving the cheesiness of FM sounds. From another perspective, you can freely explore the enormous landscape of sound produced by FM synthesis, without diving into the deep end of DX7 programming. Instead of generating sysex dumps on the fly to dynamically change the sounds produced by the synth, you just feed whatever control voltage you can come up with into the inputs of a module and bask in the insanity that comes out (for instance—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-YEbg040ww definitely not everyone’s cup of tea).

Edit: but if you want to explore the landscape of FM tones generated by these chips without spending all of your money on a modular setup, generating sysex messages will of course take you where you want to go: https://fo.am/activities/midimutant/

I certainly look forward to seeing real problems solved with these algorithms, but right now that work seems to be lost in the noise of crypto.

I'd be curious to hear more about decentralized rate limiting. That sounds like a reasonable problem to solve with PoW. Although it also sounds like a problem I can solve pretty easily today without PoW so idk.

In the much more popular hobby of cars it went away and has stayed that way in developed countries with the control infrastructure while in developing economies they still fix everything themselves. In another 20 years poor nations will still probably be on the same vehicles or cars from a generation are hollowed out while developed countries’ cars are even worse.

I see zero changes in this market bifurcation pattern regardless of industry. It’s not like people are making their own clothes much even in developing countries because we overproduce cheap clothes now anyway, for example.

> Energy consumption is not fundamental in any way.

Isn't the opposite true though? That everything is either directly or indirectly tied to energy?

Cost of disk space vs computing power is just an equation of the energy put into it (mining, manufacturing, marketing, shipping).

Maybe I'm too hungover to think this through. :D

> It uses comparably very little energy and the difficulty is not substantially sensitive to energy efficiency because the cost is dominated by space rather than computation.

I don't see how this would equate in the end. If you want to keep the level of difficulty high enough it would have to go hand in hand with real life resources (= energy).

Granted there are complex externalities in the calculation and computing continuously uses energy while disk space is more of an "expend and forget" type of scenario, but to me that would simply result in malicious actors being able to afford to put more resources into it (buying more disk space) until we're at the level of the same energy expenditure.

This whole story is a shock to me: I wrote my first online quizzes and problem sets in the 20th century. Submissions were always graded on the server side and answers were never available to the browser.

I was involved in a lot of crappy testing software people wanted to sell our university. That was the first criterion I insisted on these publishers satisfied.

By the mid-aughts, everyone seemed to have understood it. ... WTF happened that now we are talking about disabling view-source in browsers as a security measure?!

I wasn't even aware that was a thing (even though I've had to use Chrome in many enterprise settings). Is this just the `npm install` automatons not understanding the distinction between the client and server in client/server applications?
If the company is not in the US, they can use coercion through diplomatic channels. This appears to be a lack of willingness or incompetence to react to this event.

> the example could have made a pure callback function that takes a mut& db param and pass thaf param to the 'do'er function.

No. If you did that, you could only pass functions in that took the db as a closure argument, nothing else... you're thinking about this example only, and forgetting the problem is with the general case of capturing whatever is needed for the callback to work.

I think that the problem is that patent law allows for broad software concepts that have never been implemented. And it ignores differences in implementation.

Can you imagine if copyright law allowed for things as broad as: “A novel or series of novels where a boy is educated at a school for wizards”. That’s what amazons 1-click patent was like. It was more or less: we will allow a client device to send both a product id and a user id by clicking a button, that will then cause a purchase to be made for that product and client. That patent caused something as trivial as “buy now” to be locked up by Amazon for years.

If you're following good security practices like...

* Using a strong passphrase on your private key(s)
* Never copying your private keys around between systems (especially not unencrypted)
* Using a hardware key management dongle

...then there is little to no _security_ risk in using one key for multiple services vs individual keys for each service. The threat model here is that an attacker is able to discover your private keys somehow. If the system holding the private key(s) is compromised, they can grab multiple keys just as easily as they can grab one.

Others have noted that there can be a slight _privacy_ risk to sharing your SSH public key across services. If you never want your accounts across different services to be correlated with each other, then yes, you would want a separate SSH keypair for each. But many of us use the same identity across services anyway as part of our personal brand so that point is moot for us.

Sure, vaccines have reduced deaths...for now. Except, have they? Not really. [1] See the bump between July and November? That was after mass vaccination.

That begs the question: what happens when their efficacy wears off, as it appears to do?

Unfortunately, <MegaCorp> has the ability to send dozens of lawyers at the case, billing them into the millions. You are a small company that happens to have your idea stolen. Even if you are sure that you would win, would you still do it ? If you lose, not only is your idea theirs, but your company is now millions in debts. Why could they win ? Most likely because of the dozens of lawyers they have, that are very likely extremely used to whatever tribunal you may have picked, and can find the smallest flaw in your suit.

Ammonia is like hydrogen - not a fuel source but merely a fuel storage medium.

Further we used to common use ammonia for refrigeration before Freon became a thing - the reason we don't use it for that except in very limited large scale applications, is that it's SUPER POISONOUS and prone to leaking and killing.

So pushing ammonia is another example of solving one problem but creating 5-10 more problems which our society ALREADY KNOWS WILL HAPPEN - because we've been there before and abandoned it for safety, economic and environmental reasons. It's willful ignorance of history and science.

Your facts are true, but I disagree with your conclusion. The resource consumption is actually bounded by the economic value of the network, or the value of attacking the network. If the network generates $100 of value (in terms of market cap etc) for each $1 spent to operate it, then the resource consumption if the network is essentially bounded to 1/100 of global GDP. This is also assuming network operators capture 100% of the value of the network, which is too high by at least an order of magnitude for most networks.

Networks with bigger ratios truly are more efficient, even in absurd hypotheticals in which all economic activity is devoted to operating the network. All I'm assuming here is that actors don't put in more than they get out of it.

This is dangerous view IMO. Knowledge should not be suppressed just because some people might interpret it incorrectly.

If you fear the problem is "complacency around issues around structural racism and equality in education" then why not address those problems head on rather than propose to not talk about heritable IQ?

I mean both structural racism and equality in education aren't at all difficult problems. They are only made difficult because large part of population is still effectively racist, has racist role models and has approval from government officials.

It apparently is ok for people to be racist.

If you are racist today, you can happily live with friends that have the same view and tune out the rest of the world that does not agree with you.

And as long as it is ok for people to be racist they will always find some kind of excuse for their beliefs whether it is heritable IQ or something else.

This is all mentioned in the first three paragraphs of the article btw. Yeah it does seem really wild that Japonic languages and Turkic languages could be from a common origin

I think the debate around it points to an interesting issue in the quest of trying to taxonomize languages. It's a similar problem faced by bacteria and fungi taxonomists. These organisms are extremely prone to horizontal gene transfer (some even use functional horizontal gene transfer as an adaptation strategy to adapt to new environments). Languages can borrow a lot from each other and trying to untangle them is always gonna take a ton of guesswork. But it's also what makes the field so interesting. It forced this type of linguistic work to be very interdisciplinary

It is very doubtful that the factory itself is foreign-owned. It's more likely directly owned by a US corporate entity, and Global Foundries held ownership in that entity.

In any event, the Defense Production Act does not have an exception if the business is foreign-owned. The President's powers are very broad. The scenario described in TFA is exactly why the Defense Production Act exists, and I am also curious to know why it wouldn't be invoked in this case.
