> I am making the assumption that the lungs can handle being 100% saturated.

I would do some reading about that before trying it.

The "weird tip" I have is this: Do many different diets, sequentially.

Most of us who have been significantly overweight and spent time dieting will have noticed that in the first weeks or months of a new diet (keto, low calorie, paleo, vegetarian, unprocessed-food-only, or whatever), it works well, it's easy or not-too-hard to stick with, you feel great, and the numbers go generally down.

Eventually, the numbers aren't going down noticeably, you no longer notice feeling great compared to last week or last month, and even though you're eating exactly the same thing as you were a month ago, now it's unappetizing and always leaves you wanting more. You're not looking forward to the next meal, and the cravings are enormous.

Congratulations! If you have iron will, you can just stay in this mode, live an ascetic life, and your weight troubles are over.

Many of us do not have iron will, it turns out.

Portions we have to measure start increasing a bit. We convince ourselves that we'll have a few more calories right now but a few less tomorrow. If we miss some calories due to circumstance on day N, we feel entitled to "reward" ourselves with at least most of those calories on day N+1, when the surplus will certainly be stored.

But, didn't we start out by saying we know how to lose weight for a few weeks or months? That happens when starting a new diet, right? Sure, eventually the downward trend flattens, we get less strict or stop constant reminders not to snack and to carefully measure each portion of everything, and maybe even go "off" the diet for a while. For a lot of people, this is when all the lost weight plus a few units comes back.

What if we found a way to keep our diet interesting without increasing caloric intake, without eating a lot of diet-specific hacks ("I'll just replace all the sugar with xylitol!") and without spending more and more time researching and preparing slightly different recipes? What if we could do this without portions slowly sliding up, and without massive cravings?

So, that's the idea: Try (e.g.) low carb. Dive in, read all the popsci that cherrypicks studies, etc. Watch the scale numbers decrease. At the first hint of boredom ("I only have broccoli, eggs, and steak in my fridge. Ugh!"), figure out another diet to do! Dive into Weight Watchers! Read supportive articles about how WW is all you need, and load up your fridge with WW meals. After a few months, when you are tired of the thought of eating yet another one of those WW meals (but before you've started adding 5 points every other day), figure out another diet to do!

Will this work long-term? I don't know yet, and even if I lose 100 kg on this diet, it'll still be a single data point, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, sometimes a good one, I suppose.
Exercise is great, but I found it was not enough. I looked for low-hanging fruit in my diet (example: soft drinks) and cut those (lost 10 pounds just losing the lunchtime soft drinks).

Even with the exercise (have "closed all three rings" since COVID) I hit a wall below which I am not losing weight. From experience though I know I need to cut the portion size of my meals.

Years ago when I was preparing to undergo surgery, I would look at the meal I was about to eat and lay out what I thought was a "reasonable" portion. I would eat that and no more. Habitually, I would have gone for "seconds" in the past, but with surgery looming I restrained myself.

I was surprised to find that I was not hungry even though I ate perhaps 2/3? my usual food intake. Tough though to pass on seconds when the meal is a tasty one.

In the end lost another 20+ pounds and was at my lowest weight since I had been recording it.

I'm afraid I celebrated the success of the surgery though by returning to my eating habits and returned to my previous weight.
I use it for some of my personal sites. Partly because I’m not incredibly good at typography/layout and partly to save time.
Really well put. I do think that speaking against conformity always does matter. People that demand conformity are very often insecure. But complying only reinforces that problem. Showing that a constructive conduct is still possible even with disagreement and that it doesn't influence their acceptance is the way to go, even if they would not grant the same cutesy.

So even if the author thinks that it did not have an effect, I believe some people still speaking out is very important. But it is true that administrations and academic colleagues often behaved very disappointingly. Maybe out of fear or career ambitions, but ultimately both doesn't matter if people don't speak up anymore.
Yeah it's absurd to worry about stainless steel pots leaking nickel in food when we all breathe heavily car polluted air daily without worry.

Granted, unpacking also coalesces lazy iterables (like range in this case) into lists, but if you aren't working with large/infinite iterables you should be alright.
The cookies are just one outward sign of data collection.

GDPR isn't about cookies, it's about collecting, storing and transferring data. Done properly, GDPR notices should allow users to opt in to having data about themselves collected by the interested company (and other things like acknowledging the relationships and responsibilities formed by that consent - like requesting deletion and having it honoured).

We just happen to use cookies to do much of that collection. We also already had "the cookie law", so it seems "pragmatic" to piggy back the two things, for the sake of "user convenience".

GDPR creates responsibilities and guidance on all the database tables, the system designs, the job descriptions and so on which operate around data about people.
I also prefer 2-3 lifts per week for health, but it amplifies my already prodigious appetite to rediculous levels. I can and have eaten 6000kcal in a sitting. I usually end up gaining fat when I start lifting and haven't ever managed a cut. I always lose weight by not lifting and restricting calories. Right now the intermittent fasting is working well for me. I'm curious how that will work when I start lifting again.
Technical Debt: A Field Guide
InCalories < OutCalories = Weight--

Weight management and fitness is not a difficult problem, but that doesn't mean it's easy. When we think of people who are fit, the stereotypical person we picture isn't usually a math genius. If it were HARD to figure these things out, we wouldn't have that stereotype.

IMHO, the order of effectiveness is:
Sleep > Hydration > Diet > Workouts > ... many other things ... > Oxygen Tank

1. Spend an hour or two today learning about how to calculate macros and figure out your TDEE (google it.)
2. Spend an hour or two each week learning how to cook something new.
3. And spend a couple hours each week being active (just walking is enough to start.)

None of this is "exciting" or an "adventure" but it works. The "hard part" is mental. It's about continuing when it's no longer fun or interesting any more. Or making it fun by doing things you love. Look at surfers for example.

One way people get through that step is external motivation. Asking HN is a great first step. Join a team. Hire a coach. Sign up for a competition. Others will welcome you because many of them have been where you are now.

If you're dropping an item a meal and removing sugar from your diet, you're eating less.
* Don't have high fat/sugar snacks in the house - but do have an alternative you'll eat
* Move - low intensity exercise uses your body's stored energy (i.e fat) rather than using carbs
* Find other people to help get you through the tough patches - for me, making a commitment to someone else makes me more motivated.
Ask HN: To what extent should I be paranoid?
Here's an example project that I had in mind:

- take a screenshot of my screens at some interval

- use OCR (library) to figure out some context of what I was doing

My tin-foil hat comes on "can I trust that library" that I used to do OCR. I would use something like python Tesseract.

Which idk watch your network I guess if it phones home.

This would all run locally but it's that thing of convenience/using something off the shelf that works. More hardcore "safer" would be use OpenCV on its own and do my own image interpretation which would mean longer time to achieve the original goal.

Of course easiest solution is just "write something down" everyday.

I just was wondering what did I do the last week/how was I productive.

Yep.

Batteries aren't great for super-cold areas. Pure hydrogen, my understanding is that it's pretty much impossible to make a 'leak free' tank. So for things like backup power generation there is an additional challenge. More thinking about need to top off than risks, I'm not qualified to speak to whether such a tank would be a risk.

The work from Dr. Sinclair, and various other scientist seems to agree that its not just weight and body shape, you actually live longer and have less illnesses throughout your life.

Really fascinating stuff - the Lifespan podcast really changed how I think about all of this. I'm like you and haven't had breakfast in quite a while, but recently started skipping launch as well. A lot harder, but supposedly will feel about the same when my body adjusts.
Atmospheric CO2 level is a couple hundred ppm, which is way more concentrated than many homeopathic remedies at like 1e-60. I think you are basically making emotional arguments instead of evidence based arguments, at least on the climate science thing.

> Anyone saying just eat less is full of shit. Sorry man.

> Get a food diary and write down everything that goes in your mouth.

Typically the 'just eat less' advice is pretty much in line with your second statement there. As someone who lost ~150lbs, I will vouch for the effectiveness of calorie restriction. The hard part, of course, is actually doing it.
For me the biggest hindrance to deep work is not social media, email, etc., but the shallow work I need to do but hate. I actually like my deep work, but the shallow work, like putting together a slide deck, or giving a budget forecast, sucks. So when I have those hanging over my head I procrastinate like crazy, which also prevents me from starting my deep work because I don't want to get into it and then get pulled away because someone is asking for that slide deck. I see no solution to this.

In Autodesk Fusion 360, they seem to use something similar but with weird discontinuities in the computation. You'll be smoothly moving a point or edge or something and then at some point the 1px movement causes everything to snap differently and confusingly :). And if you pull back in the direction you came from, it doesn't go back the way it was. At least Ctrl-Z generally works pretty well :D
I really appreciate this advice and it is also extremely refreshing. My sister is in amazing shape and for the longest time kept a picture of her younger "fatty" self on her fridge.
Never had a sweet tooth to start with but I replace all sugar with monk fruit and erythritol blends like Lakanto (taste same as table sugar unlike Stevia).

Made a big difference already. Then I’ve cut all simple carbohydrates or non-soluble fiber and unlike the low carb craze, increased my high soluble fiber intake from low GI whole grains like steel cut oat. Keeps me full for a while, low calorie, and I don’t feel sluggish.

I don’t eat anything above 50 on the GI scale. Once a week I might have pasta.

No fruits because of fructose but lots of vegetables.

No drinks containing sugar like sweetened Almond drink but I keep the milk because the fat and the protein helps feeling satiated.

Basically I lost about 20 pounds over 3 months and I’ve maintained the loss for 2 years now.

The article is about models not faithfully showing the reality of inflation and, by extension, the flawed use of inflation models outside of their useful applications.

I'm not sure that using an oversimplified model to make your point about inflation will help clarify the article here.
It's great way to lose weight if you can keep yourself from overeating when your feeding window opens. It's the same result as calorie restriction.

I like stuffing my face instead of eating smaller portions. So I decided to go down to 1 meal a day doing 20/4; I lost around 48 pounds in 3 months.

Soups.

Lightweight soups are great during a diet. If you feel too hungry and your planned meal doesn't seem to be working? Eat a little soup. It will calm you down without adding too many calories.
If anything from reading this article it feels like the running and marathon communities are hugely self-righteous and have a colossally overblown sense of self-importance.

It's just a fucking race mate, this man teaches people and heals people - if you run a marathon, it should be about your own sense of achievement, why care so much about what some other person has done?
You forget to mention that if you diminish the number of available burgers you'll need, also, more dollars to the get the same amount of cheeseburgers.

And if you diminish the quantity of some essential product used for everything, as, for instance, energy, you will get the same effect.

Also, people confuse a one time increase of prices with inflation (that is a constant increase in time), and inflation with hyperinflation (two different phenomena).

Increasing the number of dollars spent beyond the economy capacity will cause inflation (at least if the spending is not done in investments that increase capacity) but that's almost never (never?) the cause of hyperinflation.
See (1) for hyperinflation examples.

Yes, this is what I meant.
Hi, I'm curious what you mean about model quantization being necessary on CPU and GPU? They're not necessary by default, as openvino, tvm, tensorrt can run single-precision inference on most classic models quite fast? If you're reaching for very low power or ultimate perf, yeah you can downgrade to fp16 (well... Mixed precision) with NVIDIA tensor cores or avx512-fp16, or bf16 in some Intel vnni confs? Going to integer will give you more throughput too but it's not necessary. Even myriad-x is supposed to handle some kind of fp16 with the shave cores.

The only time I had to reach for quantized (integer) networks to do anything at all was inferencing on FPGAs. Are you targeting dsp slices by default or implementing full ieee754 floating point by default?

Are you saying that with Tensil you can run single precision non-quantized models with up to 2x gpu perf?

I probably misunderstood your last sentence, sorry.

Genuinely curious!

I don’t eat on Saturdays. Friday night until Sunday morning is spent fasting, about 36h. It’s an exercise for body and mind, and there’s evidence of autophagy kicking in after 20 hours.
I like my breakfast late which makes me more often than not skipping lunch (weekends or vacations for sure) but never thought more about it. It definitely helps keeping the figure but I think I should gather more infos - like, meal records etc - before I turn it into a regular and conscious practice...
> Heating is waaay more efficient with heat pumps.

Absolutely.

With electricity you can power heat pumps (which are say, 5x more efficient than resistive heaters), but by synthesizing fuels with electricity, you can get strictly less than a resistive heater's equivalent energy.
They also make for great storage. Using solar to make a hydrocarbon fuel which is turned into electricity in our existing fossil fuel infrastructure seems way more plausible than spending trillions on batteries or pumped hydro.
Setup a feed of Hacker News articles with keywords cryptography, homomorphic, and encrypt. You may want to see more mathematical results with keywords lattice or elliptic. Or, technical results with Diffie or TLS.
Not everybody benefits or reacts to skipping breakfast the same. It sounds like IF is a little out of OPs scope.

Having said that, IF altered my relationship with food much more profoundly than going plant based whole foods only. I skip dinner and probably eat what others would call dinner for breakfast way more than average.

This could be personally investigated by someone with a meticulous food journal and periodic (like every 2-4 hours) blood sugar tests. Look for what spikes you.

In C I just write the tests in the same source files as the things they're testing. Some interface tests get their own source file.

All the tests end up in the "release" binary, along with the application code. Separate test_main entry point to run the tests instead of the application. If I don't want the tests available, marking test_main static and deadstripping rips them all out.
It is still the case that nobody is getting banned for simple dissent. Malone knowingly lied about safety, making claims he knew were untrue at the time he made them and continued to do so. Had he simply said “I don’t agree with this” his account would still be active like all of the other people who do this.

Twitter is also not the scientific process. If he wanted to go back to holding himself up to the standards of a scientist, that would involve doing actual research or participating in the community processes - for example, I’m sure his reputation is enough that he’d have no trouble submitting a letter or meta-analysis to any journal and having it be read. He’s chosen not to do that because he knows that these claims won’t pass muster.
I lost 30 pounds by eating smaller meals. Still had breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Skipping my afternoon snacks helped a lot too.

The 'module' is a library of pay computation functions that your app uses privately.

The library itself is public and could have other users, eg. you when invoking manually from cli when testing things out.

Test your library code with unit tests - this is easier because it can be done in isolation feom external systems.

Itegration testing of apps is difficult. Often it is sufficient to test by use - have a dev environment which is usable or test in prod if it's not a critically important app.

This is often sufficient, but I'm sure testing gurus have a recipe to apply unit tests to the app itself as well. I personally prefer not to have 10:1 test to code ratio, so I keep things practical.

> Exercise is great, but I found it was not enough.

I just want to reach through the screen and shake you while screaming. This is what I'm talking about, with every mention of exercise being dismissively pivoted back to diet hacks!

Exercise is not a substitute for eating better, it is a tool for helping you eat better. Of course you should cut out sugary soft drinks and eat smaller portions! It's just that a minimum amount of exercise helps that happen naturally, rather than requiring herculean amounts of focus and discipline and constantly feeling miserable while trying.
Yoga works for me. I just need to show up and it combines strength training, aerobics plus body mindfulness.

> How do sites abuse Legitimate Interest?

By pretending that advertisement and tracking are part of Legitimate Interest, and having a "secondary section" that is not only pre-accepted, but also overrides the proper consent part.

To really decline consent in those cases, you must uncheck all "Legitimate Interest" checkboxes. Not only those things are not legitimate interest, this also overrides the lack-of-consent provided by users for a couple vendors.

Legitimate interest is not a get out of jail free card. You can't apply it to everything and pretend you got consent.
