My concern is totally about whether or not the IP is logged though and google's vague language doesn't clear doubts about that. On the contrary:

> Google Fonts logs records of the CSS and the font file requests, and access to this data is kept secure.

Why does it point this data is kept secure if there is no PI in the first place ?
"people with a lack of willpower"

Well, people who lack willpower still want to solve their weight problem. They can't use willpower because they don't have it. This is why they look for secret tricks.

Not so complicated.
The webcam market is a niche market. Even game streamers, arguably the most "consumer" like target audience that cares about quality, will often put the image of their face in a corner of their screen.

The simple fact of the matter that the target for webcam seems to be to be either good enough or to be better than the competition. Neither of those are very high bars.

There are some improvements in webcam land. There's a trend towards more higher-quality consumer webcams even if they're ridiculously expensive for what they deliver.

One problem I have noticed with using phones as webcams is that often the image will look distorted if you're not right in the center of the camera. The closer you go towards the edges, the more your face will get distorted in width or in height. This is a natural consequence of how these tiny lenses are able to get such a wide picture so I can't really fault phone manufacturers for this, but it's something to keep in mind when you pick the more obvious solution and just stick your phone to your monitor.

I am in a math-learning Discord server led by a PhD guy, where everyone works through math books recommended by him, solves the exercises and posts the solutions to get checked. Of course, you can always ask questions.

All of the math is proof-based, so we start with books that teach just that: proof writing, basic logic and set theory. Then you can branch out and learn what you like. Each person goes at their own pacing.

One thing is that you will have to put a lot of effort into learning yourself; there is no silver bullet, regardless of whether you know proofs or not.

It's not that rare, but the problem is that a lot of people who are outsiders, yet who truly understand science and then write about it, often end up becoming quite sceptical of it. Just like how journalists who understand politics end up sceptical. The difference is, journalists holding politicians to account is well understood to be a critical part of democracy, but for science it's the opposite. If journalists start asking tough questions they're immediately evicted from the best known institutions because scientists (academics) have done a great job of convincing those in power that doubting scientists in any way is immoral and dangerous.

So what you get is worthless fanboy journalism in which those who are smart enough to ask tough questions get removed, and those who are left just want to copy paste university press releases.

In turn that beds general scepticism amongst the population because they can sense that nobody is challenging the "experts".
Exactly, that was the idea. The wording was already changed a couple of weeks ago to more clear on the home page. Will update the docs as well.
The equation x/a = b/c has equivalent fractions on either side of the "equals" sign. You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.

Take a square that has a equal parts, with x parts shaded. It represents x/a.

You can split up the whole square in a different way but keep the same area. This square has c equal parts, with b parts shaded. It represents b/c.

You can represent the work by multiplication and division, too.

Take, for example, 6/12. Divide both numerator and denominator by 3. You get the equivalent fraction 2/4.

The area does not change. Hope it makes sense.
I doubt that lack of willpower is often the issue. Even a slightly more efficient metabolism can lead to 5 lbs per year of additional weight with no increase in caloric consumption. That adds up quickly.

Properly balancing caloric efficiency at a young age is probably far more effective long term and honestly likely more pragmatic.

Wow, well said. It is so true that effective programming really requires a lot more support, especially around the product/business/project side. The smaller clear the chunks of work, probably the easier it is to reason about and complete.
I am hoping that Apple's Continuity Camera "just works" as the camera and lighting are excellent. I was on the hunt for a decent webcam last year and surprised this didn't "just work" already without flakey 3rd party apps, etc.

> if a body could run itself more efficiently then it would by default.

Nobody suggested that the body "run itself more efficiently". They suggested that the body _do less_.

This would be like if someone suggested that you could reduce gas consumption by not driving across the state, and for you to dismiss their argument as impossible because you just can't simply increase the MPG of the car.

Of course, your statement is probably factually correct, but it's a non sequitur!
I use these guys’ software on my Mac to use an iPhone as the webcam. It really does a better job, since I can adjust the camera settings.

The next macOS will have this capability baked in so I probably won’t need the third party software.
> good enough for their purpose which is video conferencing

As a hard of hearing person, the main reason I'd bother to video conference is so I can see a person's lips to understand them better. The vast majority of practical set-ups do not presently make that possible. Some are so bad with the compression and framerate that sign language gets substantially garbled, too.
That's insulin resistance.

You can use you phone's camera as a webcam with Reincubate's Camo App. This required a wired connection iirc.

You can also use OBS Studio along with a virtual camera plugin to use any device which can output directly to your computer.

But most of these solutions do not work on Safari or FaceTime unless you manually modify the app.

Now, Apple is going to soon introduce their "It Just Works" solution with the next release of macOS and iOS. You will be able to use your iPhone's camera as a webcam wirelessly with your Mac by just sticking your phone on the back (Apple is partnering with Belkin[0] for this stand) [1]

I personally don't care about the camera as much as I care about the sound quality.

> people who believe they are on calorie restricted diets, but who are actually eating more than they think.

Absolutely. For instance only counting the calories of their scheduled meals, but "snacks don't count because its just a snack". Or counting a heaping plateful of spaghetti as a single serving because they put it on a single plate. Underestimating calorie counts is much more common than estimating it accurately.

Eat a few meals with a huge person who "just can't lose weight" and it will usually become obvious that they eat a huge amount of food.
Nobody bans for questions.

And the video I posted proves that it works. Keeping saying "it doesn't work" is ridiculous.
I read that the differences between metabolism speeds are nearly insignificant. Is where somewhere I can go to understand more about that? The general understanding between "fast" and "slow" metabolism seems to be a magic used to rationalize anything about the body, while one of my golden rules is to never trust any scale that lacks a base unit.
I’m not using “trivial” as a measure of ease of back-end implementation, but rather of how it actually changes user experience and productivity. There is no limit to how hard it can become to implement trivial changes behind the scenes; it would be silly to ignore or downplay the ossification of desktop OS capability just because software developers continue to expend more and more effort to make smaller and smaller improvements.

My reading of your comment is that you aren’t actually interested in thinking about non-trivial changes here. “Didn’t you know people have tried eliminating folder systems before? It’s hard and hasn’t succeeded yet” is obvious and does not seriously engage with the possibility. (“Didn’t you know people have been attempting to make stylus input work for decades without success?”) Likewise, the fact that web apps can be disguised as native apps is not the same thing as eliminating the distinction at the user level, and I don’t think you would have conflated these if you were really interested in it.

So I don’t think it will be productive to continue this conversation.

If you want to go from town A to town B, and there is a direct A-B road, then you almost never want the A-C-B spiderweb path going through town C.

The A-C road may not be any different from the A-B one in terms of A-B being "main" and A-C being a "secondary" road, and the path will likely be longer.

A road actually going to a neighboring town is a strawman example of a side road.

Can I be angry at both? Legislation is only required to regulate bad behavior by some set of entities. As such, legislation should be written assuming that those entities will exploit any loopholes. Malicious compliance is exactly what the EU should have expected and planned for.

As far as I ever understood, the point of Android wasn't to help users as much as developers: it took a fragmented ecosystem of custom platforms and united them behind a single development SDK; which, post-iPhone App Store, became an easy sell to manufacturers for adoption as the iPhone started getting all of these new sort-of-features while their platforms stagnated due to their small-percentage marketshare making it not worth writing an app for them at all. Remember: the original Android G-1 was a locked-down device that we were only able to install custom core software on due to jailbreaks.

>And we can thank EU for the extremely annoying cookie pop-up’s on every website. Every site has a slightly different UI and the options/button labels always vary. Declining is always a multi-step process with various checkboxes.

No we can't. We can think of scummy adtech companies who feel entitled to their business model.

The GDPR very specifically says that the option to decline tracking must be at least as easily accessible as the option to accept.

The only way the EU is to blame for the pop-ups is that the regulation hasn't been enforced strictly enough.
I used to work at Google and I'm sure I don't know how most of it works, outside the area I worked in. It's a big company and the systems are complex.

Why do you think you know how it works? What do you actually know about Google that doesn't come from outside speculation?

That link says that a website leaked an IP address to Google. It doesn't say that Google did anything with the IP address.
You probably know of this already, but in some software you can have speech to text live subtitles. I hate to advertise for Google but their Meet thing is the only one where I know this exists. The quality is slightly worse than their YouTube auto-subtitles (and even those are worse than my own hearing as a non-native listener), though perhaps that's because the input is also worse and it needs to be realtime? Not sure, but if you're having trouble understanding, getting 80% as text plus your own hearing and lip reading might be a big aid.

It's not accurate. For example, measuring the performance of a debug build, with slow backend, without vlib cached, and with vfmt on.

You can see that V is actually as fast as is claimed on the website:

On the contrary, letting the government determine what comes through the media is the recipe for fascism. As evidence, consider that the first thing that any authoritarian regime does is to take control of the media.

The first test you've got to do for any proposal like yours is to consider what the impact of it will be when your political opponents are at the reins. Are you comfortable with Donald Trump (or really, anyone of his faction) having this power?

It's a synonym! We are saying the same thing.

Image quality is top notch and the ability to Zoom in/out using the zoom lense is nice. You also get some nice background blur, depending on your used lens. For power there are modified "batteries" allowing to plug the camera into AC for power.
Don't think swinging the pendulum of discrimination to the other side does anyone any good.
> You’ll need to name names and their particular shortcomings if you’re going to say there are no good PaaS alternatives.

I'm not saying there are no good PaaS alternatives, I'm saying that it's not easy to find the right PaaS alternative. You might think you have the right one, and then some key feature is just missing (in my example, the ability to kick off orchestrator-aware background tasks).

> In particular, both AWS and GCP have cron-as-a-service, which can then be hooked up to AWS Lambda/GCP Functions.

Right, but now you're dealing with cloud-provider primitives which doesn't seem significantly more straightforward than dealing with Kubernetes (instead of knowing Kubernetes, you need to know the cloud provider APIs).

> there are viable alternatives to K8s’ complexity.

I'm sure there are, but figuring out which PaaS is appropriate for your use case (or a combination of PaaS + various cloud provider tools + etc) is a hard problem, possibly just as hard as building on a managed Kubernetes offering.

Personally, I'm hoping someone makes an open-source, push-button Kubernetes distro that has the common stuff built-in: external-dns, cert-manager, ingress-controllers, network storage backends, central logging, prometheus/grafana, etc. This would give you even more of the happy path built in without necessarily coupling you to a cloud provider while also giving you plenty of "future-proofing" (if your pass doesn't have some feature, you often need to switch to another platform, but if your Kubernetes distro doesn't have some feature, you can just build it atop Kubernetes).
Hi I totally understand the sentiment and this is a very common thought that I've seen people have about making the jump to FAANG. Just a heads up, my advice is in the context of getting SWE roles at FAANG companies.

First off, you definitely can make the jump to FAANG. You've gone through a PhD in applied ML. That's really challenging and at least in my opinion much challenging and impressive than getting an entry-level FAANG SWE job. Even if you don't know the core CS topics now, I doubt it will be that hard for you to pick them up. It will take some time to ramp up on them, but not too long.

To give more reference, if you were to go into FAANG with a PhD you would usually start as an SDE2 and earn 300k+ per year as a starting all-in compensation.

If you want to make a go into a FAANG SWE role, then here's what I'd recommend. My guess is the whole process would take ~300 hours so maybe 2-3 months if you do it 40 hours per week or ~5 months at 20 hours per week.

1. Learn to code in Python. You probably know a coding language (if not Python) by doing ML. Otherwise there are tons of free resources to get up to speed on Python (https://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/python/home/ is an example)

2. Data Structures / Algorithms. With your math background this should come quickly. You'll need to learn the bread-butter algorithms, the ones covered in every undergrad course on DS/A. Again there are tons of free resources online. Here's MIT's open source one (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-006-introduction-to-algorithms...)

3. Practicing Interview Problems. Complete all the problems on here - https://neetcode.io/. If you don't understand a problem, study the solutions and google around until you do.

4. Mock Interviews. If you have friends in FAANG ask them to do a few mocks for you - this is what I did. Alternatively you can use pramp.com and interviewing.io to schedule some mocks. If none of these work, can DM me on hackernews and I can try and help set something up.

5. Recruiting / Getting Interviews. I've made several posts on reddit about this (https://www.reddit.com/user/coachdarek) but with a PhD all you need to do is ping 25 recruiters on LinkedIn per day saying you're interested in SWE roles. You'll get at least a few interviews lined up with 2 weeks. PhDs are hot commodities by big-tech.
6. Interview. This is the easy part, once you've got the interview skills and interviews setup, you just show up and do them. Make sure to have at least 6 interviews scheduled because there's a lot of variance in each interview.

If you have more questions, happy to answer and follow ups.

EDITED: To make the bullets on separate lines.
Yes, the problem is scale. Also, we live in capitalism, so scaling is absolutely necessary to reap huge profits. Cows are not direct problem, just like gun violence?
There's research in neurodietetics, for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3105244/

I can't quite tell how strong each and every paper in the field is, nor would this be the place to do it, but what I recognize as their foundational observation that Holocaust survivors brains were roughly the same size as of normally fed people, while other organs shrunk, is quite striking.
What does it do better than simply installing any decent linux distro?
For me at least, reading speed inversely correlates with reading retention. There are plenty of non-fiction books that are about 20% useful information, and 80% anecdotes in support of that information.

If I find that I’m already convinced of the point that a particular subchapter / section is trying to make, I’ll speed through it. As a result, I speed read through about 80% of most non-fiction books.

My experience with speed reading is that it’s more akin to speed “skimming”. I see all the words, I understand the point each paragraph is making, but I’m not resting and respecting every word, or really paying too much attention to sentence structure. You can miss details, but this is predicated on the assumption that those details don’t matter.

If I’m reading something where every detail does matter, or fiction that’s heavy on prose, I slow down significantly, since my objective is often to enjoy the book for the maximum amount of time possible, and not to learn as many things in as short a time as possible.
Bumping doesn't necessarily mean "sending an email to the maintainer and everyone on the issue", adding a reaction can also "bump" an issue in the sense that it bumps it to the top of the list if sorted by "thumbs up reaction".
I would expect its worth 10x to 100x 20k to the right group of black-hats.
I don't disagree. It's just that there is rarely time to revisit and improve the right things that work. Often it's left as is (in this context inefficient) and the business moves to the next 'experiment'.
The end result tend to be a portfolio of sluggish features.
When will 4K HDR video conferencing or even 1080p SDR become the norm? 3 years out? 5 years?
