In the 1980s, fat (the dietary kind) became evil. All the prepared foods that were high in fat started to reformulate. What did they replace it with so it still tasted good? Sugar, primarily corn syrup. "Fat Free" became the label they wanted. The prepared and snack foods of the 1970s often had sugar, but by the 1990s more of the products had a lot more, and more of it was HFCS not the more expensive cane sugar.
Edit: I'm wrong, misread the context of the quote. Please disregard the below. Thanks to the people who double-checked me!

Despite the claims of "no human driver behind the wheel", there'll still be what amounts to a driver, they're just calling the person a "specialist" instead of a "driver":

> Just as we’ve done before, we'll start with Waymo employees hailing trips with autonomous specialists behind the wheel, with the goal of opening it up to members of the public via our Trusted Tester program soon after.
WSL might be patch work, but it creates a modern Linux environment and it's constantly improving. While macOS is Unix compatible, no a lot remain from non-Linux Unices these days. Also, Apple is castrating that layer more and more, for example deleting built in scripting languages and packaging an ancient version of bash. Microsoft is improving WSL month by month, on the other hand.
I wonder what the stats are on those bike trailers. I see people using them in traffic and they look plain terrifying: a child dangling out in a flimsy canvas pod behind the cyclists's back, too low for drivers to see when close, surrounded by vehicle wheels... yikes.
I think this should have been named wikEEpedia.
This looks pretty nice! Funny enough it seems to work better on Firefox than Chrome on my computer.
I am not sure if that means Firefox is getting nicer or if Chrome is getting worse. I wonder if this is also happening to other users, specially on other OSes (I am using a mac).
How to compare floats in Python
A few months ago I was banned from Twitter for sharing a meme that literally said "I fucking love outer space." [0] That was it. Just an image with some text on it. For some reason this angered some algorithm and 10+ years of tweets and interactions were gone. It was heartbreaking. For a lot of people I followed that was my only real way of engaging with them.

The worst part was the complete and absolute silence from Twitter. I tried opening a support ticket and got no response. DAYS later, I got an automated email about what I needed to do, but the instructions didn't even work. Eventually I was able to get my account back about a week after that by going through some cumbersome verification process.

All for sharing a dumb space meme.

In that moment, if I could pay $10 to talk to an actual human being who could resolve my problem or at least tell me what I needed to do, even if it was via web-chat, I would gladly have done so.

One of my professors (a jolly fellow) joked about us having "street cred" based on our past work. So if we've been reliably good at proofs, when another proof had gaps, he said he'd assume we knew but just went too quickly, but someone with lower "street cred" would just get marks off ;)
Eh, I don't think I count macOS/Safari as usable inside a VM. Unless you are running a macOS VM on top of macOS, which defeats the purpose.

You can run a hackintosh in a VM but it's not a trivial matter for someone who doesn't know anything about macOS, or hackintosh's, or configuring hardware emulation. I also had it break on me regularly in ways that took lots of time and ducking. I finally decided that if Apple didn't want me to support macOS/Safari, then I wouldn't.

Isn’t that kind of the trade off of small entities doing business with a tech conglomerate? There’s not much government authorization with developing smart phone apps.
1. So the families suing Alex Jones, they are in the wrong? Suing a journalists for lying is quite common and normal practice. Thinking poorly of someone for seeking the protection of the court is not a good thing. Just because you like this journalist doesn't change the fact the company is entitled to the protection of the courts if someone legally wrongs them.

2. To be fair, this is the big one. Who does replacing all the hardware ALREADY BOUGHT hurt other than the customer who bought the hardware? You're generally not getting a refund because you no longer like the company. The company has your money. It's not like their products are things you buy on a monthly basis. You aren't hurting the company.
Or a computer you can actually power off.

Used to be: You throw a physical switch on the computer, it interrupts the power circuit from the power supply, and the computer went off instantly.

Today: You have to do it in some software menu, but invoking this, you're not even powering it off. You're requesting your computer to "pretty please, with sugar on top, turn off my computer when you're not too busy." Then the OS goes and does god knows what, maybe it decides to flush some caches, maybe it decides to do an entire operating system update, who knows--you're not the driver, you're just along for the ride.

Even the physical power button on the computer doesn't break a circuit anymore. It... you guessed it... sends a software signal begging the almighty operating system to please shut down.

And when you point this stuff out, all the excuses start coming out: "Bbbbut the OS has to flush its caches! Bbbbut the filesystem needs to write things to disk that are in-flight! Bbbbut applications need to gracefully shut down and free their memory (which is about to have the power cut). Bbbbbut there may be a critical background task still running that needs to...." I don't fucking care! I didn't command my computer to do any of these things.

It's gotten to the point where if you want to shut your computer down instantly, you need to pull the power plug or remove the battery. I expect we software engineers will fix that one some time soon, too.
Roman houses had a commercial thing at the front. Cities had lavish public baths, people had banquets, socialized in the market. The Industrial era lasted too long
I think it was absolutely appropriate because I have seen that cycle happen many, many times over the years.

Especially when Apple is involved. Hell there are still people who see them as beleaguered and about to go out of business at any moment :p
Unfortunately, this idea fights vs idea of least responsibility.

Because, user level programs are all at one level of abstraction, and this distribution is distributed over many levels of abstraction.

So in desktop systems, mean mostly successors of business micro machines, access to other levels of abstraction intentionally hardened for measures of security and reliability.
The same thing applied to crowd computing - there also vps's are isolated from hardware and from other vps's.

These measures usually avoided in game systems and in embedded systems, but they are not allowed to run multiple programs from independent developers (for security and reliability), and their programming magnitudes more expensive than desktops and even server side (yes, you may surprised, but game consoles software in many case more reliable than military, and usually far surpass business software).

To solve this contradiction, need some totally new paradigms and technologies, may be some revolutionary, like usage of GAI to write code.

OP is talking about office jobs, your 2/3 stat is for all jobs.

I think he's wrong though. Most office jobs should be capable of being remote, unless the mgmt is unwilling to make changes to the modern world.
Considering Waymo has had almost a year of no-one-in-driverseat service in Phoenix, I would say they are overall ahead, even though that's not in SF specifically. Being first to driverless in SF also shows that. They are definitely taking things very very carefully, as they know a single major accident is all it takes to set them back years.
Why would you? Parent says its a comparison of Mimir and Cortex.
Stripe and Paypal are not banks, last I saw. Which is exactly the reason they have to be so careful. They don’t have to adhere to the same rules as banks, but they don’t have the same protections either.
One possible preventive measure could be to have separate developer accounts for each product and keep everything air-gapped between those accounts.

I was banned from AdSense for a never disclosed reason. I guess I still am - never tried again, in part because the alternative I used after that paid better.
You can cruise year round on like $3k a month, it's not that luxurious when you consider that it includes room, board, food, maid service, activities, etc. Especially compared to how expensive old age homes are.
Well deserved Dr Dongarra. BLAS, LINPACK, so much amazing software and insights over the years.

The point is that calculus is used to solve all sorts of problems. Sure, you can say "...not in my experience" but that's one experience and not representative. You just happen to a) not work in a realm where Calculus is used and/or b) work within that realm only on problems without Calculus.
Hidden Italy: The Forbidden Cyclopean Ruins (2013)
I know not everything needs to be about the pandemic, but not to mention it at all in this article seems like a conspicuous gap since a lot of the early super-spreader events were on cruise ships, and my understanding is that the whole industry was on-hold for twelve months.
I remember taking similar vacations as a kid: traveling the whole time and rarely staying more than one night in the same city.

There is an American view of vacations as speedruns, especially among older generations. Maybe coming from the culture where long, international vacations were seen as against the work ethic, expensive, and something to feel guilty about. So there was the perception you had to rush to see it all while you only had a set number of days because you may never get back.
If you were unpleasantly unsurprised to be run over the other day you wouldn't be posting.
Interesting way to reveal your true motivation.

I "accumulated" huge sums of money by working my butt off, not demanding I live in San Francisco six months out of college, investing wisely, and upsizing when the market was favorable. Today's younger generations have the world at their fingertips, and use all those resources to stare at TikTok.
Their ages range from almost 70 to almost 80. Most people in that age range, a view is more than enough.
These days activism is more like: think what I tell you or else you are evil and unworthy of participation in society. So yeah, people are kind of tired of it. It's basically like participating in Soviet-era public ceremonies or regurgitating official party lines. Not that that's what's going on with the "GNU/Linux" controversy, but it's the general phenomenon.

Also, there's an older, I think better, sensibility around still: that controversies should be left to those directly involved with them. Let the distribution maintainers, the FSF, and Linux Foundation sort this out amongst themselves. It's really not my place to be involved in this decision anyway. Not that I don't love sharing my unsolicited two cents online, but some people don't even like that.
Editing large amounts of data. Notepad++ supports (some) regex find and replace, and I use it often to clean large lists or reformat data.
Wow, that is a massive 'fuck you' to the next generation in terms of climate impact.
Lab animals on a controlled diet are also gaining weight, without taking in excess calories. This would suggest that some environmental factor is causing the weight gain.
My take as someone in the industry, but at neither of these two companies:

Cruise is limited (by their own choice) to operating between 11 PM and 5 AM. Waymo is operating at all hours of the day. That alone indicates a much greater level of confidence in their capabilities. The complexity of driving in a busy street in SF at daytime is dramatically higher than at night, especially in SF, which tends to be pretty sleepy after hours. Note that both companies avoid driving in SOMA, FIDI, and other challenging parts of the city.
That was awesome. I'm still not sure what part of it was satire and what part was a real countermovement, but the hipster PDA made me read up on nice pens and paper. For a while I had an old-school Filofax. I even made my own template for calendar pages, and had a little foldable public transport map in the back. Every now and then I try to get back to a paper organizer, but things like online calendar sync are too comfortable.

Also, remember that this was before smartphones, social media and the attention stealing craze. I can imagine nowadays there would be a lot of people wanting to try out something low tech like that.

Interesting how they seem to keep adding more and more sensors to it. Gotta have redundancy I guess.
I’m curious what tech stack they build it on. I suspect the use cases will go well beyond currency to voting, passports, health, academic, court records. Institutional systems might use a public block chain for transparency. I don’t think they’ll bake their own but rather make a king. To Dale’s point on on boarding. Every institution will want identity proofing and what is good enough proof and for what purpose.

This is an interesting concept building on Web3. Is Web3 is already dead and the reason is on boarding? Transitive trust allows a participation threshold to be reached to build near ubiquitous implicit public trust. That might be scalable to onboard with some measurable identity proofing beyond KYC SSN garbage. :-)

>If you will need to release it, then you also need to know it is a pointer that would afterward refer to freed storage.

You really don't. If the documentation says that after calling release_fluor(), the fluor_t that was passed to it can't be passed to get_fluor_mass(), it doesn't matter whether fluor_t is a pointer or not.

I'm sorry, but you're just plainly wrong.
That sounds like a red flag for a poor remote work culture. Our company saw improvements in productivity going full remote.
It's common in many spices we use today, unfortunately. Consumer Reports published tests on this recently, following-up on other studies, and they have a campaign to get the FDA to regulate heavy metals because so few companies test. Fortunately, you can find brands that do independently test on Amazon, and some brands seem better than others (ie. Simply Organic).

Whenever someone says they support something "to own the libs/cons", what they really mean is "I don't want to discuss this with you". The vast majority of the time, people have real reasons behind their positions. If they don't believe you are genuine and just want a fight, then they might as well end the conversation as quickly as possible.

In your specific example, the website did a good job summarizing the pro-bill perspective, and you did a terrible job. The entire second half of your comment is you projecting your own opinions onto people who disagree with you, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone told you that they support it to "piss off liberals" just to get you to shut up and move on.
unixtime/microseconds is not necessarily a acute reflection for you to say what i year/month/day/hour/minute/second i am experiencing from an societal standpoint.

15-20 years ago, I had a pretty good opinion of Google, as they seemed competent and true to their then motto "don't be evil". Now I avoid them wherever I can personally (unfortunately, and to my great dismay, my employer is fully dependent on Google cloud products). It seems they have become very evil. And what's worse... casually evil. The fact that these things happen is bad enough, but not having any recourse or a good way to resolve this is just unacceptable.
There shouldn't be anything inherently dangerous about them, a car shouldn't be getting that close to the back of a bicycle really. I've seen some that have a tall flag-like thing, I guess that's to help show that there's something behind the bicycle
calculus is irreplaceable for understanding system dynamics. Every meta-stable computer system is an incarnate approximarion of some differential equations relating the different parts of the system and the way changes propagate from here to there. I don't often use numerical methods, but analysis of stability, classification of fixed point types, topological limits to what small changes to the system can do to the behavior do all come into play. The people enforcing backoff for retries, randomization or careful analysis of fatal vs. temp errors, are using those sorts of insights. while you can take ten years of industry experience to get a feel for these flows, you can also take a good DiffEq/Dynamic systems course and start out understanding the possible shapes at the start.
It has been rather long time since I studied philosophy but I remember somehow fuzzily that stoicism is what You are looking for. It has some good ideas about being good (or rather better because they did not believed in absolutes).

Sorry man, I know several people who were injured by some of these meds. It is not talked about enough when they prescribe them.

Regarding Genomind, these are really limited in how much they will help. They test a limited amount of genes that "might" change drug efficacy. Even taking into account the CYP genetics, if someone is anemic these enzymes will function more slowly so emvironment will trump genetics.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/19539...

"At this time, DTC advertisements are inappropriate, given the public's limited sophistication regarding genetics and the lack of comprehensive premarket review of tests or oversight of advertisement content."

And from the really the only study claiming that Genomind is effective, from their website:

https://genomind.com/the-science/

Citation: Perlis RH, et al. Pharmacogenetic testing among patients with mood and anxiety disorders is associated with decreased utilization and cost: A propensity-score matched study. Depression & Anxiety. 2018;35(10):946-952. doi:10.1002/da.22742

"Dr. Imbens reports personal fees from Genomind, for experimental design related to the submitted work, and personal fees from Eli Lilly, outside the submitted work."

And if you look through all of those studies you will find they were funded by Genomind.
The fact that launching any kind of work in production in a big organization makes it even more important to just focus on tiny changes (sometimes a few lines of code) with huge benefits.

You can have bigger changes as proof of concept first, but select, properly design and launch the most important one.
When I see one of these cars in South Boston (narrow streets with street parking) during the winter (piles of snow everywhere), I'll believe they're a reality. Until then, they'll remain 90% of the way there.
Iirc the govt instituted bounties on corporate malfeasance fines to whistleblowers (in % - so can be huge), so there are lawfirms that target and finance whistleblowers. There are even spooks-for-hire who work the targets. It's fascinating.

So no, doesn't seem like a hit job at all, just a good mix of first-order incentives. The media balleting is part of the defense, but also it was really informative for many.

EDIT: forgot the media reaction that indeed seemed coordinated and bold. Part of that is just media hating Facebook. They take any chance they get.

Hi. I'm a Mimir maintainer. I don't have hands-on/production experience with Promscale, so I can't speak about it. I'm chiming in just to add a note about the Mimir deployment modes.

> Cortex comes with highly scalable micro-services architecture this requires deploying 10's of services like ingestor, distributor, querier, etc.

Mimir also supports the monolithic deployment mode. It's about deploying the whole Mimir as a single unit (eg. a Kubernetes StatefulSet) which you then scale out adding more replicas.

More details here:

The article mentions upwards of $300/day or more, which is 110k/yr. That's a lot of money, not to mention the cost of your fixed home and other living expenses (medical?). Plus, I would not want to do a "budget" cruise every single day and be at the mercy of their menu.

It just sounds unappealing and expensive to me, but that's me.
