If you can cope with eating a lot less for 2-3 weeks. It helps a lot. The stomach stretches but if you eat to satisfy hunger instead of eating to feel full. And do that for a few weeks. You will begin to notice that you feel fuller sooner. As your stomach shrinks a bit as it’s not stretched with food. Doctor told me that and wow huge difference, but that 2-3 weeks was hard.
Show HN: Open-source project for service development directly in Kubernetes
Hi HN. I recently started a project to make development with Kubernetes more approachable: Gefyra. The idea is that developers run their development workloads in a dedicated Kubernetes cluster (potentially local, or anywhere). Gefyra rolls out a development infrastructure locally by managing a local Docker setup connected to the cluster. That gives all the convenient tools (such as debugger, code hot reloading, aso.) into the hands of the developer while using advanced Kubernetes patterns (for example sidecars for OAuth handling).
I even created a website already. The source is located here: https://github.com/Schille/gefyra

I am looking for feedback on what development scenarios you would like to see supported in the future. What am I currently missing or what would be the most interesting use-case from your perspective?
Of course it would be great if you had the motivation to try out Gefyra and let me know where in the setup process or documentation you may have gotten stuck or missed something in the documentation.

I hope that Kubernetes as a development platform would finally change the mindsets to create less monolithic applications and support the way of service-oriented thinking.

What do you think?
That's the case in any package manager open to anyone to submit to.
Bail out and start a turkey farm. The Academia nuts have gone rotten; there's no way to keep your integrity while wallowing in the rot.
This argument, "You can't point out any limitations unless you yourself can do better", is not logical.

The issue is that in order to be intelligent for any useful meaning of the word, a program has to at least appear to do symbolic manipulation and to change its state as a result.

If I tell some intelligent program, "I was born in London", I don't really care if it has actual symbols for me and for London, but I do expect to somehow "remember" this and "reason" about it.

Later if someone asks the program, "Was Tom born in England?", I would expect it to answer, "Yes", and if asked "Why?", answer, "Tom said he was born in London and London is in England" - like a bright five-year-old would answer.

---

Current AI programs do nothing like this, and there doesn't seem to be a path to this through machine learning and other systems for extracting statistical data from large corpuses. The idea that symbols will simply "emerge" from huge, static statistical engines seems like wishing for magic, not a research program.

As a result, some simple tasks are impossibly difficult for machine learning systems.

For example, support that I have come to the mistaken conclusion over many years that Arnold Schwarzenegger is German, because of the "corpus" of information I have seen. But if I meet him, and he mentions that he's Austrian, I will right away update my database without question, even though I met have read 100 things that made me believe he was German.

This is impossible with any of the statistical systems we have. The only way to update them is to re-run them with more information. And it's the quantity of information that counts. The idea that Arnold's word on his own life might be much more important that 100 other sources cannot really be represented in general.

This is an issue that needs to be resolved before we get to something we can call actually intelligent - it needs to be at least as smart as a 5-year-old person in being easily able to learn or correct facts one at a time, like "Arnold is Austrian".
Some years ago I accidentally cheated in a short and fast 6k run, resulting in a second place. The route markings on the road were that bad and misleading that I accidentally cut the route by about 300m, which is quite a lot at a 6k.
I did not notice, couldn't actually believe it, but proudly received my medal. At home I compared my run with the other runners on Strava and noticed the abbreviation. Oops! I immediately wrote an email to the organizer and the medal went to the earned other. :) I wasn't disqualified though, but just placed more or less correctly at the bottom of the first third. It was a nice feeling to stay on the stairs, because at this point I did not know it was incorrect. :)
The thing is, in the time it took me to finish watching this video, I already hacked together a working prototype of what I need in plain procedural stateful Python.

Post from 2018, interesting to understand the post-covid trends, like remote or hybrid work.
I recently spend 3 months in the US with my partner, we didn't stay in a hotel. It took some exploring but we eventually found all we needed to eat well. For some reason most supermarkets don't stock fresh bread. I think most Americans either don't eat bread, or eat toast so all bread is optimized for toasting. American bread toasts much better than European bread (because of the sugar content I guess).

We tried about 6 different supermarket chains in the Irvine area, and the only one that reliably stored affordable good bread was Whole Foods. Weirdly all Americans told us Whole Foods was an expensive supermarket, but it was less expensive for our diet than the other supermarkets. Of course Irvine is an expensive area, so it could just be all supermarkets were relatively expensive.

I wouldn't judge a culture by their hotel breakfasts though. I don't think they match typical breakfasts basically anywhere. I don't think many hotels would serve you a breakfast burrito, but as far as I can tell that's basically a staple for many working Americans and it looks like it is actually quite healthy.

edit: to be clear, supermarkets in western europe have always stocked fresh bread for as long as I can remember, but in the past 10-15 years have also started stocking "artisanal" fresh bread. So they sell your pick of sourdough rye/wheat/spelt breads that have all been baked that morning.
I'm extremely surprised to see `chr` and `ord` in the "You likely don't need these" section, and that the author has "never really found a use for them in [his] code". I guess he's never done any reverse engineering or NLP work?
As an aside, to me Coke from can has a different feel from Coke from plastic bottle. Almost as if the bubbles are fewer and larger when sipping from a can.
The problem is that RSS doesn't really have a concept of "deleted". In general feeds just contain the newest items. Items not on the feed are generally considered old, not deleted.

You can play with heuristics like "This feed is usually sorted by published date and these entries I saw previously should still be here but are missing, maybe they were deleted" but not even have published or updated dates and they aren't always accurate.

This gets even more complicated with WebSub which allows hubs go remove entries they have already seen. So now you need to not do deletion on those requests, and if you turn down your poll rate for feeds with WebSub (which Feedly does IIRC) you might not even fetch the full feed to notice that items are missing for weeks.

The one thing that would actually be reliable here is probably Atom's pagnation and archiving extensions which you can follow to get a view of all of the items in the feed and prune missing ones. However you probably don't want to do this every fetch (otherwise it kinda defeats the point of pagnation). Maybe you could combine this with other heuristics to come up with a decent system. But I'm not even sure these have ordering guarantees so I'm not sure if you are going to fetch potentially unlimited pages just to check if an item was deleted.

If we did want to solve this problem the best option would probably be to add a tombstone element to the feed to explicitly remove items.

TL;DR as far as I am aware neither RSS or Atom have the concept of deletion. Much like sending someone 100 email newsletters unrelated to their subscription will piss them off with no recourse try not to send them 100 feed updates that they don't want.

Edit: It looks like there are tombstone proposals for both RSS and Atom: https://oleb.net/blog/2015/11/rss-feed-item-deletions/. Maybe the author could have tried this, but IDK if anyone supports them.
You can save the annotated slides after the lecture, and just share them?
GDPR did mandate defaulting all of those toggles to "decline" though, even though some are trying to get clever and add additional toggles for "legitimate interest" (which isn't how that works legally but AFAIK nobody has been sued over that yet).

The follow-up privacy legislation also bans the current dark pattern of making the "accept all" button more prominent and obvious than "decline all" at least requiring both to be equally prominent. The flow of having to go through "manage" or "see options" or other shenanigans as links in order to decline all has always been in violation of the GDPR and could theoretically open you up to the fines as it demonstrates intent.
I know the study which you're referring to, and unfortunately dietary and nutrition science is one of the worst disciplines.

You can find evidence pointing both ways. For instance, it's well studied that in animal models (which can be far better controlled than human populations) high fat diets lead to increased lifespans. The rub here is whether murine models translate to humans, which is not a given.

Keto often has issues because obese people find it as an excuse to continue eating caloric surpluses. It's not magic, and it may not work for everyone. Speaking for myself, doing keto OMAD (one-meal-a-day) is an unbelievable life hack. And my bloodwork backs this up (including a drop in serum LDL after increasing my egg intake dramatically).
OK, but the discussion is about "AI" - artificial intelligence.

Do you call a white blood cell "intelligent"? Then why would you call a nanobot that destroyed cancer cells "intelligent"?
Newest member of my team has been in the company for 6 years and on my team for 4. I was in the local pub the other day and there was a retirement do for someone who had been here for 35 years, which certainly isn't exceptional (40 years is more noteworthy, and I've known a couple of people who made it to 50 years)
I’ve already commented about running but I would also recommend looking for a registered dietician. Some have a sports/performance focus but athletes are the most likely to seek them out… 99% will work with you if exercise is not a goal.

They will help you attain sustainable healthy weight loss. Most will actually ensure you are eating ALL of your meals + snacks in the proper portions (it’s not as restrictive as you think).

I would be extremely cautious of skipping any meals with regularity. You only make your body hold onto calories that way. A dietician can help you learn to give your body what it needs
How do sites abuse Legitimate Interest? LI is something vendors declare to the IAB, not the sites. These CMPs just present that information to the user (in complicated ways) so they can Accept/Decline/Object.
Well, short term it may be cheaper. Long term you are going to pay, because the efficiency is horrible, 10-30% depending on who u ask
The 400 series of steels (without nickel) are not ductile enough for certain kinds of manufacturing technologies.

So cutlery is made with the cheaper 400 series, but pots and other vessels are made from the more expensive 300 series, with nickel, because they need to survive a large deformation from a plane sheet of metal to a deep pot, without cracking during the deformation.

The fact that the nickel also ensures good corrosion resistance against hot acidic food juices is a bonus. The same corrosion resistance could be achieved without nickel, at higher chromium content (superferritic steels), but those steels are too fragile to be formed into vessels from sheets.
We had something like that called DNT, and not only did nobody honor it, but it was used as an extra fingerprinting vector, totally defeating its purpose.

According to the GDPR, all non-essential tracking should be off by default, so "decline" is already the default if companies were compliant with the regulation (which is a big "if").
You are not just reducing load, you are also reducing anonymity for other participants. The extra hops make it harder to analyze the data overall.

> I've done it as someone who is 5'10" and 150lb to get down to 140 or 130lb.

I agree with you but wait what, that'd be 178 cm / 58 kilos? That's bordering on underweight: it doesn't feel right (or I'm converting it wrong?)

My first advice to people would be this: check your BMI first, and if you're perfectly in the middle then certainly do not get close to underweight.

Besides that: I don't drink much alcohol and do intermittent fasting (skipping meals like you do) and I've never been neither overweight nor underweight. To me it's all about discipline.
True, the main reason I talked about it is because

a) it's also part of the same discourse related to bioethics, the legal reasoning in France has the same component as the legal reasoning around euthanasia, paternity testing and dna test in that it doesn't recognize the rights of people to dispose of their own body.

b) When my sister was trying to do IVF and didn't get results for years, they were investigating the possibility of doing surrogacy abroad

c) I voted for Macron, among many reasons, because he was more open minded about surrogacy than his opponents.

I can see an argument against paid surrogacy but making altruistic surrogacy illegal is something I disagree vehemently.

But then again, I'm also very much in disagreement about the French legislation against prostitution (interestingly most organizations of sex workers or organizations that are implicated in helping sex workers are also against the law there too)
Kinesis Advantage2 QD Keyboard
Hi,
I recently bought the Kinesis Advantage 2 QD keyboard (France). My question is: how to activate the Caps Lock and Delete keys in Qwerty mode?
At the moment, both the above keys are redundant.
Thank you for any advise and help.

Legitimate Interest is a separate Legal Basis.
That's not informed consent but if you decide to accept everything without reading anything, it's your right to do it. You won't be able to complain in case of "surprises". So yes, a browser could come with an "Accept all" setting, probably disabled by default, but which browser vendor is going to go through the trouble of implementing that, proposing an API and above all getting every Privacy Agency of the world to accept that?
He was literally supposed to run with an observer(because he's a cheater and can't be trusted) and he didn't, several times. How is that not cheating?

>In 2015 the L.A. Marathon must have noticed something fishy because officials asked him to run with an observer in the future. But when he returned in 2017, he ran alone, the observer idea apparently forgotten. He also ran solo in 2018 and 2019.

>So Murphy and the LetsRun crew grumbled when the L.A. Marathon announced in early June that it would not disqualify Meza from the 2019 race.
>Instead, officials would ask him—again—to run with an observer next time around. “This is the best solution for all,” they told Murphy.

They're literally begging the guy to stop cheating so they don't have to ban him, and the guys does a world record. It's beyond ridiculous.

Instead of admitting it, he kills himself.
I'm sorry, the whole story is tragic, but obviously this guy's problems went far beyond evil posters on letsrun, as awful as that site is.
> when you drink from a can directly, your lips will touch the outside / top aluminium, which will affect the flavor and experience - subtly, but it's there.

Ahhh the subtle flavours of rat shit. I've never seen someone wash the top of a can before opening it. I mean, would you go around licking random surfaces that other hands have touched, rodents have scurried over and defecated on, etc?

A friend’s mom makes us pho about once a year. Definitely not just hot water. It takes hours of prep to make the broth. Easy for a restaurant to make in a bat, and relatively low calorie and fat, but it’s denigrating to call it hot water (Annie Chun makes instant pho, which is basically hot water and some spices)
Ah, so I'm right- your comment was 100% a put-down, aimed at shaming me for not having the illustrious career of McCarthy's friends?

In that case, you are absolutely right that I have no need to apologise. But perhaps you should think about where you place "the bar" next time, in your comments, rather than trying to blame me, for being frustrated at your sarcasm.
The thing is, China's claimed borders include those areas. This is politics, not a mission for truth and ethical conduct. Their definitions are entirely self-serving and certainly differ from those of their enemies.
One problem with that don't surround yourself with junk food idea, is now living in a city means junk food is never more than a few minutes delivery away.

The amount of times I've looked at all my healthy food in the fridge and decided instead to order from burger king...

I don't have any answers. I've used cocaine, and I swear that the right combination of fat, salt and sugar is far more addictive than coke ever was.

The UK has just authorised liraglutide for weight loss and I'm going to give that a go.

It's cheaper, but the costs are external costs (calculated for the next 100 years about 600 Euro per ton of emitted CO2).

They could be internalized by CO2 pricing, such as CO2 tax or certificates
Not to mention that it requires capturing and probably liquifying the CO2 first, which is also energy intense.
If we do CO2 Hydrogenation, it will be for Methane gases, not liquid. Methane is easy to store, has rather flexible uses and would help in keeping the grid stable.

Liquids, especially when used in ICE engines later on, would result in an energy efficiency of 5-10% max. This is abysmal and we could use that otherwise wasted energy to decarbonize many other things by directly electrifying them.
If someone responds that a material is 'chemically inert' when we're talking about heating things up, I don't think I'd have much confidence that it's not leaching into my food.
And now you're assuming I didn't read the article. Well done. I've read it, twice, once yesterday and once when it was posted on HN previously a while ago, when I made the same comment about that particular suggestion at the top of the thread.

And you're trying to pull rank via proxy on me. I have the expertise to back up what I'm saying also. See my comment at the top.
If you think about it, you breathe in 21% oxygen and breathe out 5% CO2. If you switch to 100% oxygen, you still breathe out 5% CO2. This is because the carbonic acid is tightly regulated in the body at a level that is in equilibrium with 5% CO2. When we produce excess, through exercise, we ventilate more to maintain the balance. But the partial pressure of CO2 remains the same. There is some oxygen removed but only as much as the hemoglobin can carry.

Prolonged 100% oxygen has no effect on this and is also toxic over time. People on oxygen therapy are really breathing 40%, and 100% is only used for short stints during anesthetic procedures.

> The base components of many plastics, e.g. polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylic glass, are perfectly safe for food contact.

We fully believed BPA was "perfectly safe for food contact" for many, many years.
Now of course we know that's not true.

It's always worth remembering to add as far as we know today.

There are hundreds of such examples. What we know today isn't necessarily a hard fact, it's just as good as we know with today's knowledge.
30 mins weights + 60 mins cardio 7 days a week, take walks after lunch. Eat until 90% full with enough time in-between. Don't cut carbs, favour protein and add fat to every meal. Get enough sleep to keep Cortisol and Ghrelin at bay. Drink water when you feel like it, don't follow any specific measure. Skip supplements other than Magnesium (Bisglycinate). Go crazy with junk food every other week.
If you program a browser to auto-consent, then that isn't informed consent, even if your browser can read and parse a TOS (which I can't).

Install scripts run with --accept-tos have nothing to do with personal data or privacy, and are outside the scope of GDPR.
I just block them using ublock origin, right click -> block element.

One problem is that often, those forms insert a "overflow: hidden" into either <body> or <html>, meaning the page cannot scroll anymore. Twitter does this too.

It's possible to just remove it with the dev tools, but it's quite annoying.

I've asked ublock for a way to fix this, like:

##body,html:matches-css(overflow: hidden):style(overflow:auto !important)

But it doesn't really work.
Biden considers digital dollar–here’s how it could differ from regular money
Agree, your appoach is much benefit for the mass
Just because that correlated in time doesn't mean it's what the law actually implies.

Informed consent about cookies was a law that predated the GDPR.

The consent boxes only got worse because, with GDPR, you suddenly have regulators who care about these things and are empowered to impose hefty fines. So people stopped ignoring the whole space of privacy, as they had been before.

One of the declared goals of GDPR is to reign in "profiling". So the industry started trying to desparately weave a narrative on the grounds of consent: they wanted to create an electronic paper trail that would somehow support their claim that people were consenting under the rules of the GDPR to being profiled.

But consent under the definition of the old cookie directive does not meet the standard required under the GDPR for consenting to profiling [1]. People like Max Schrems are actively engaged in trying to get the industry to turn away from their noncompliant ways [2]. Especially the use of certain UI dark patterns has already lead to hefty fines [3].

My hope is that, when this has all played out through the legal system, it will become clear to the industry that the stuff they are trying to get you to consent for them to do, is just outlawed altogether, thus scoring a victory for privacy on the web and rendering that consent-stuff moot.

If not, regulators may need to get involved to make it more clear, that this is the intended outcome, which I have no doubt they eventually will.

I also have high hopes that, eventually, GPC will become enshrined in law [4]
