That's an awesome setup; congrats on your results, and great to hear how it's affecting all aspects of your life. That desk chair is a slow killer unless combined with workout routines.

(If you haven't already, have a look at the Barbell Prescription book - the plethora benefits of such a routine are almost chilling.)

Your martial arts instructors sound wise! I've had the thought in the back of my mind, but I've resolved to make it my #1 priority this year. I'll be logging volumes, etc, and how I feel the the next morning to arrive at loads I can sustain with daily activities long term.

You mentioned confidence. I have a noted how improved fitness has helped carry myself with a straight back; the benefits on mental health are hard to overstate. I also have ADHD, and likewise for my ability to focus.
I'm using something similar. Even if people tried to brute force their way to the hidden door, these attempts would probably be blocked by Cloudflare.
Missing 1 major point. You need to follow macro nutrition guidelines. There are appropriate for most people besides the outliers.
Yeah, but they do it all the time. Like morels - there are tons of different morels, but we typically use "morel". Or for boletes, same thing. Even puffballs, oysters, etc. Even chanterelles have a bunch of different species that it refers to.

Israel issues vaccination credentials to recovered COVID patients with 1 Pfizer dose. There’s a lot of data from there about this topic.

Initially, those folks are “super immune”, but it fades much quicker than expected last summer. Around November data started indicating that those individuals were much more likely (10x iirc) to contract COVID than a person fully vaccinated in the same timeframe.
MIT-Made Tiny Drones Weigh Less Than a Gram, Use Artificial Muscles to Propel
I think i should elaborate a bit more. ( i am pharaphrasing what i've seen/built for customers working on real world ML projects )

Let assume for a task of building a vision model like tesla for autonomous driving, basically taking camera feeds and turning them into 3D geometry.

For that you have to:

1. Collect Data

2. Curate Data

3. Augment Data ( i don't mean classic image augmentation techniques, but for example connecting a simulator to provide artifical data samples )

4. Label data

5. Define your model / or figure out a good model with presets/auto ml techniques

6. Train it at scale

7. Analyze/Test your model, think unit testing but for ml

8. Optimize it to run on edge hardware

9. Deploy it and distribute

All of that with proper A/B Testing, different models, and continously improving/tweaking and adding data.

THere are literally 100s of tools in that space, covering one or multiple steps. But nothing that integrates the whole. It still has an incredible lead time / engineering effort to setup / build a pipeline like that and run it at scale, handle the workflows behind it and also be able to run on premise ( using cloud resources for a lot of that is both a no go for many large companies due to security concerns and cost )

Some cloud SAAS software comes quite close e.g Google Vertex Ai, Sagemaker etc..
But they still fall very short for a production pipeline.
> What was pilot monitoring doing during all this?

Wouldn't there also be a copilot who is double checking this stuff?
as a thought experiment, lets say I had a time machine.

I go back in time with a super computer and mine all the coins the first year and lock them up in my wallet. I then return to the present day.

The disease has changed to reduce the effectiveness of the vaccines to the point where they don't show any significant ability to stop the spread. The current vaccines may help the individual against Omicron but does nothing to help the collective.

Are you ignorant of that?
I know nothing about aviation but it seems to me like the auto pilot software could use a lot of improvement.

Why on earth would you give the pilot an instruction that would almost certainly lead to a crash ? It seems like there aren’t enough sanity checks. Any such dodgy situation should trigger an alarm and disengage the auto pilot imo.
13 Mj is the current mass at which people think deuterium fusion can start. Above 80 Mj, hydrogen fusion will start.

These numbers depend on a lot of details of stellar atmospheres.

I took a graduate-level Stellar Atmospheres class from S. Kumar, who first theorized about this class of not-quite-star.
There are like a dozen other posts where I answer this question so I'd recommend just going to my comment history.
The actual infection fatality rate in the US was never as high as 1.4%. The CDC estimated it at 0.6% back when almost no one was vaccinated. Now with vaccines and improved therapies the fatality rate is much lower.

> Programming was wonderous to be sure, but no one is worse off with an IDE and a interpreted language.

Just to be clear: I didn't say anyone is better without and IDE.
Reactors on Navy vessels, since at least the 70s, are very safe. They are closed systems and are completely sealed in compartments surrounded by feet of shielding. While some negligible amount of radiation does get through, it's half life is very short. Radioactive isotopes don't escape, nor do they get created by proximity to a radiation source and start floating around the crew compartment. In addition, each crew member carries a dosimeter which tracks their exposure. As others pointed out, walking around outside exposes us to more radiation (from the sun, earth, ceramic tiles...) than spending months next to to one of these reactors.
Seemed to me more like making gentle fun of people who can't tell the difference between noise and signal.
I am reminded for some reason about an Air Asia (?) flight a few years ago that departed SYD/MEL for KUL (?) where by some fat finger accident one of the pilots initialized the plane's location (while on the ground), skipping or misplacing one decimal point in the lat/long somewhere.

He had to do it manually because some FD/GPS system was not correctly functioning or was inop, and then after doing this there was no warning that the plane's current position was suddenly registered as several hundred miles away from its last position. (correction, there were some warnings that were noticed but disregarded as they were very short and disappeared momentarily)

On takeoff, the autopilot was engaged and dutifully turned its heading to the course believed to be from the current (erroneous) position to the first desired waypoint -- throwing the plane into an unexpected large turn in a low altitude risky phase of takeoff. The pilots correctly saw some problem, but incorrectly then carried out a series of mistaken recovery steps leading to full disengagement of the plane's normal coordinated flight controls ("normal law", etc) to try and get it to behave. Apparently, everything except just shutting A/P off.

Well, one thing cascaded on another, the plane couldn't be reset back into normal flight control mode, there was fog, etc. and they couldn't land back in MEL and had to divert several hundred miles to SYD or wherever and a whole incident. It could have been even worse.

Seems that complicated systems... can get complicated easily if you overlook or start off unsure of what has gone wrong.

> pretty common in VS - but it's at the class level

I haven’t used VS in over 10 years - what does “at the class level” mean? Does it only create stubs for the current class, or any class that’s in the current project?

It is interesting that VS has this at all though, as a daily Xcode user I’m jealous. Especially because ObjC and Swift have first class (and popular) ways to add methods to classes you don’t own via extensions… the concept of adding new methods automatically as you type is even more attractive in this ecosystem.
Ask HN: What are your favorite websites for tech news?
There is no such thing as safest mushrooms.

The safest mushrooms are the ones that you know well.

Buy a good guide. Learn ones that grow in your neighbourhood. Study the notes carefully. A good book will show all mushrooms that looks similar to the one you want to pick and will show how to exactly identify the mushroom by specific features of it rather than overall look and feel.

NEVER pick a mushroom because it "looks" ok or because you "remember" there was a nice edible mushroom that looked like the one you are seeing. Only pick the ones that you know well and only when you have positively went over mental checklist of all the features it needs to have in order to be safe.

Paying only the existing writers in the us a median wage would cost patrons around 2.2 billion dollars* a year.

I don’t see this being tenable, not without a frankly absurd loss of diversity in writing.

How about instead of "radiation bad", we look at more objective metrics, like deaths/CO2 per kWh: https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

And instead of comparing nuclear to a magical zero-pollution/emission, flawlessly safe, always-available power source, we should compare it to what it actually gets replaced with.
I don't think Rice's theorem being proven invalid (or rather, more likely (but imo unlikely), P=NP) is important to this. In fact, a somewhat loose interpretation of Rice's theorem would imply that you can not "prove your way" out of having bugs of arbitrary classes, which seems entirely compatible with "our testing framework will find bugs".

Studies Suggest Why Omicron Is Less Severe: It Spares the Lungs
It should be noted that the author is John Michael Greer, a person with… interesting viewpoints on science, society and magic (yes, literally magic).

Ultimately, any serious analysis of his claims will have to address his absurdly backwards claims on energy and technology. Which is basically that all energy resources are going to run out very soon and technology can’t do anything about it. So at best he is crazy pessimistic, and at worst some kind of doomsday cultist.
That's a pretty nice plugin. I don't know if you're using it with the latest version of beets, but I'll give it a go, and hopefully it'll work. If not I'll try to get it working and send a patch if I do.

At the moment I use smart playlists and generate an "added today" playlist with all the songs imported to beets today, and add that playlist to my queue, appending it to the end of the queue.
Those studies don't really exist yet for Omicron, so you are working on faith not science.
Yeah, users aren't asked about anything, the browser just sends their passwords to whoever asks.

The SSPI part is good, it just uses kerberos. But the full set can be downgraded at any time by the server.
Isn't the #1 job of banks to not make mistakes? I wonder what will happen in the future if most payments move to crypto and mistakes like this are not reversible.
I think the reasons you cant immediately delete it are twofold: 1. To prevent a hacker / sibling from deleting your account. 30 days means the rightful owner of the account has time to respond. 2. Because your data is processed by batch jobs that run every x days. And the easiest way to delete that is to just not generate it on the next run.
"compiling C++ is even worse"

In my experience, this has been the other way around. C++ gives you many tools to optimise compilation and when one one takes advantage of them (precompiled headers/shared libs/no boost, etc), the edit-compile-test cycle is fairly fast.

Rust is consistently slow to compile and not much idea of how to go about optimising compile speed.

Both languages are snails compared to Go, of-course.

Sure, but basically every currency has some theoretical problem.

Usually it's just about the currency becoming worthless (usually only a problem in government controlled currencies that have loans in foreign currencies), or people just not accepting it anymore.

There's no inherent value in any currency, it's just a useful fiction because it's really hard to go get five goats to trade somebody for a laptop.

Good advice, assuming the names are anything close to literal descriptions.
I hear you. Any given activity could be a chore, a task, a profession, a craft, a hobby, a diversion, a distraction, or a passion. It all depends on how you like spending your time.

I love to cook, for example. I do it even though it doesn't taste any better than takeout. If I didn't love cooking, it would be madness to spend an hour preparing something I could pay someone else an extra $5 to make for me.
It would matter if all of their customers' earnings were also denominated in BTC. It would dramatically affect their customers' spending habits. For example, while they might be willing to borrow fiat to pay for ads, they might not want to borrow BTC for this same purpose because they know that they may not be able to meet repayments (e.g. BTC's scarcity means that it may not be possible to acquire back that borrowed BTC in the future; cost of BTC is likely to be higher due to the deflationary dynamic). Hard money would affect behavior in profound ways.
Anything you want, which is normally too expensive to consider, but only after achieving your long term goal.

Rewarding yourself in the end can be a great method to support losing weight.
Pilot here, all distance and speeds are in nautical miles / hours. Mach numbers are also used often for faster / higher aircraft.

Weight / volume changes from gallons to litres to cubic meters to cubic feet depending on US/RoW.

Height is always in feet.
Thank you! This is a deeply underappreciated point.

I understand how annoying, painful, and disruptive to the user experience it is to have part of your app taken over by browser or OS default widgets and behavior is. It's sheer hell on UX. Yet the custom styling that would make it integrate smoothly would be a godsend for attackers and phishers.

The role that UX - and misuses of UX - play in security is often not considered deeply by highly sophisticated users.

It doesn’t. The pilots didn’t do their preflight checklist which would have caught a poorly set up flight computer.

It's partly true. However, a lot of planes outside of the US would have used kilometers per hour historically. For example German WW II planes did that. Likewise a lot of Russian cold war era planes did the same. And lots of modern planes (e.g. French ones) still do. And some planes in the US actually use miles per hour instead of knots; especially in general aviation.

It's just that post war, the US aviation industry was very dominant and the metric system never was popular there. For the same reason feet are used instead of meters for measuring altitude. And unlike with nautical miles, there's not much of an advantage for that. However, the units for altimeter settings are metric (i.e. millibar instead of inches of mercury) in much of the world except in the US.

For flight controllers and procedures they had to pick a unit for flight levels that everybody understands in the same way and since the US aviation industry after WW II pretty much dominated, a lot of planes would have used feet. Internationally, flight levels are used everywhere above certain altitudes. Those are basically feet divided by 1000 (kilo feet?, LOL). So, FL 29 would be 29000 feet at 29.92 inches of mercury in the US and 1013.2 millibars in the rest of the world.

The Russians actually used meters until very recently apparently and only switched to feet a few years ago after of course first supporting flight levels. And apparently, the Chinese still use meters: https://ivao.aero/flightops/divprocedures.php?id=CN and planes must actually be capable to switch their altimeters to using meters to fly in China. Likewise, North Korea uses meters apparently.

The China Initiative.

During the Trump administration, the US government began investigating a large number of ethnically Chinese scientists in the US. The initiative was supposedly about rooting out espionage, but it has ended up being more of a witch hunt.

This isn't really accurate, but I can see how you'd come to this conclusion. Wog definitely started as a slur, but is really just an umbrella term for people of olive skin in Australia these days.

It's not polite venacular, but it's inoffensive and common enough to have a movie with the name a few years ago ("Wog Boy"). I can't imagine the term you've equivolised being plastered on posters in theatres everywhere.

The point is, even after they work out all the kinks, it will still be dead-end tech. They will just have wasted a lot of money that, e.g., could have more productively been handed to me to spend wherever I liked.

A fraction of the money goes to support plasma fluid-dynamics physicists, which is not a waste, except insofar as they work on that and not something that has a future.
I would take puffballs off this list. Young deadly amanitas look like puffballs. Always cut in half lengthwise when harvesting puffballs.
It's still kinda rediculus IMHO.

Nuclear power it's climate but but environment/human friendly. So I can understand that.

But natural gas isn't green however I look at it.

It's clearly better then cush l coal, but but green.

So it shouldn't be allowed to be labeled as such.

Instead we should add a label for better but but really good tech, like yellow or so.

I'm not actually sure where that quote came from, but yes, there's not likely to be much confusion. Ground speed is usually displayed by some kind of computer, could be a glass panel or just an aviation GPS unit, and is usually marked "GS" or "Kts Ground." And it's sort of considered, philosophically, to be more a navigation thing than an actual flight instrument, since you only really pay attention to it in flight if you're doing navigation calculations.
IDE being complement of a terminal - sorry been there done that. I started my programming with machine codes. Do I want to go back to that stage - frigging no.
