People underestimate the variation in NEAT, non-exercise activity thermogenesis.

Often on prolonged diets, your NEAT can unconsciously decrease from a series of small decisions like choosing to take the elevator when you usually take the stairs, parking nearer to your destination, etc. and even things like fidgeting less.

You can kinda get around this with things like step counters so you can track how many steps per day you normally walk, and then if you notice you're suddenly walking fewer steps, you can consciously choose to walk more to keep your activity level at your baseline.

For example, you might average 8,000 steps per day but after a few months on a diet, you find yourself walking 4,000 steps per day naturally so you can just choose to go out for a walk after dinner to maintain or increase your baseline level of activity.

When people talk about changes in metabolism, this is normally the culprit.

Downvoting direct replies is prohibited, for some good reasons. I respect those reasons and therefore refrain from upvoting also, which is a flipside of the same thing; it almost seems like a bug that it is allowed.
I'm surprised he didn't bring up cars; back in the day, cars had character, now they all have the same generic aerodynamic car shape.

But I'm glad someone else thinks this, I've always thought it was kind of sad that building are so boring compared to building of the past which were covered in so many details.

I was also wondering if some of this is tool related, as in, when using cad it's hard(er) to add those details in, so what you get are these boring cad created forms. Back when people designed interesting buildings, It was on paper, and they could do anything their imagination let them. One reason I find it's a bad idea to start on the computer as you are limited to how well you know how to use the program.
This is correct. You could have a privileged pod that mounts up the host and you can do things from there but even then the OS is read only.
> Apple just needs to bake webcam sharing/remote camera control into iOS and come up with a nice attachment for the phone that works with MacBooks and displays so you don’t have to look at the camera at a weird angle.

You do realise they just did exactly this, right? :)

But look at it and see why it doesn't really work.. It's an awful contraption, and your phone is tied up for the duration. And I doubt it will work well with every case either.
In this framing where you don't think you can trust the wider community, and you want to decentralize the moderation... why have a single global community? Why not present people with only the posts that the people they directly follow (and that those people follow, transitively) vouched for/shared/upvoted?

This also mostly solves the problem of bot upvotes/downvotes (you would have to follow those bots to be affected).
The solutions to throughput limitations are already proven out in testnets and alpha releases, and well understood conceptually.
You’re inadvertently arguing against having a nation wide road system. In your ideal would cities be isolated? Have most of the country inaccessible to people? Have no small towns or villages? Have nothing quaint, no national parks, beach towns or farming communities? I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
Invert Screen Colors in (Ubuntu-Based) GNU/Linux Distros
This sounds very similar to how various car manufacturers rigged their products to be benchmark aware. It did NOT turn out well for their shareholders.
That did keep some previous aspects of AMD design, notably subclusters of shared last level cache on a single chip. Zen1 and Zen2 used 4 core clusters of shared L3, with accesses to the other 4 core cluster requiring a bit more latency as it was going outside of the CCX. Zen3 changed this, so it no longer applies in the same way.

The result was some latency graphs such as:

I used to do this, but it broke a lot of websites, especially those that use custom fonts to display symbols.

Nowadays, what I do (and recommend to others) is to set Firefox to never send a referer cross-origin, so google fonts and similar don't get to see what website I'm on. I've found that very few websites break with this.

Construction and evolution aren't mutually exclusive, instead they are different parts of the process, the generation and the scoring functions really. Evolution works not because of DNA (although it is one mechanism) but survival bias in a literal sense. Things which survive longer and increase in number we wind up with more of.

There was a recent discussion here about a nice article that went into this: https://physiqonomics.com/eating-too-much/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31381410

I'll just quote the article:

> The correct part: When you reduce calories, more specifically as you begin to get leaner, there is, in fact, some slowing of metabolic rate.

> The incorrect part: Due to this low-calorie consumption your body decides fuck you and proceeds to enter this phantom zone of otherworldliness where the laws of thermodynamics cease to exist, resulting in no fat loss, or worse, gaining fat on some absurdly low number of calories.

This 'low-power mode' seems consistent with the idea your metabolic rate can slow a bit.

I read elsewhere that base metabolism varies between people by (iirc) ~15% even for a given weight/build due to genetics, weight training (as in its after effects, not the calories exerted during the workout itself), diet, etc. That's enough to be noticeable: 375 calories difference from a 2,500-calorie diet. It's not enough to back up "no matter how much I eat, I can't lose weight".
One of the best parts of being happy at a "terminal level" in FAANG is that I can easily pick what I work on for best impact on the teams around me (and the engineering org as a whole) without worrying about chasing a promotion. I know the levers I can pull to get a higher perf rating here and there, but I'm also free to focus on the "papercuts" knowing that I'm not sacrificing future promotions, because I just don't care about adding more responsibilities to my plate. I can do "the right thing" for my coworkers, and all I have to do is make a case for improving developer sentiment or efficiency to justify the work.
Patreon could also decide to disable your account. What % of problem payments will they accept before wanting to speak to you about it? I don't imagine it's a massive amount higher than 5%.
Do you actually use torrents day to day? I have a strong suspicion that nowadays most people in developed economies who might be interested in TUIs use private trackers, as they're much safer and usually much better curated. However, that means that a) ratios are usually enforced, you have to keep seeding b) DHT and PEX are disabled and explicitly forbidden. Which in turn means the features you are describing are anti-features, especially considering the rise to *rrr-family of tools aggregating centralised private trackers, and relative unpopularity of DHT for discovery. Without curation and entry barriers open systems like DHT are only going to get spammed and/or get the swarm members DMCAed by RIAA and friends.

Even good bike lanes are packed, sometimes shared with pedestrians and involve crossings where you can intersect with cars. That might be okay for some but it’s very different from biking on a trail.

Exactly. I get that that there are plenty of comments or threads that are so "wrong" that you don't want to dignify them with a response, but usually my reaction to those is to press the [-] and hide it. For the other cases, I check if there is any response already that addresses the problematic points and try to not just pile on the downvotes.

What I don't get is when I see a totally grayed out comment with a valid argument but no response whatsoever. These seem like they were just the victim of a mob attack that wanted to shut the conversation out.
The postprocessing should be done in the cam though, IMO.. And it should just give the result back ideally in a standard format.

But I would prefer better optics and sensors over AI stuff like many others have mentioned. When you have good video you have much less need to fiddle with it.
> Until [...] I will stay with my forever statement.

That's not how forever works.

As to the specifics, there's some sign that things like the GPU APIs are realising they did care about memory safety after all - when the problem caused by a memory safety bug is that some particle effects look a bit wonky every tenth frame in a game and you find zeroing the Z buffer fixes it even though it logically shouldn't that's never getting off the backlog, but when it causes your $10M compute cluster to spit out bogus results unless you reboot it between runs that's $$$ wasted.

I fully expect that for a while they will be enthusiastic about all the other things that attracted people who eventually end up with Rust - they'll purchase static checkers, they'll write code in a different style, they'll invest in more sophisticated debugging tools, but there's a reason Rust happened.

For the compilers, well, I'm old, twenty years ago I was a full-time C programmer, today nobody would do what we did in C back then, maybe they'd try in C++? But the thing which initially attracted people to C++ was that whole "Won't do better without hand-rolled machine code" and that has rotted pretty badly even in twenty years because of... drum roll, ABI compatibility.

The compiler vendors care about performance, long after apparently many C++ programmers are content to produce code with similar performance to Python for ten times the cost and a fraction of the safety, the compiler vendors are still under pressure to ship stuff that has decent performance but also correctness. Rust looks like a better fit for that every year.
That’s awesome, perfect use case.
> BTC has been acting like it's just another speculative
What does that even mean? That makes no sense in the context of what Bitcoin actually is, rather than your straw-man interpretation of other people's incorrect assessment.

As for main street - they will come back just slightly wiser. Don't forget how much of them skipped Bitcoin and went straight to canine and DeFi which is currently unwinding.
I have zero clue what's going on with this story—seriously zero—but my spidey sense is that if we change the URL to either one of those, we'll trigger a bunch of complaints about it being one-sided.

That's not to say the current URL is the best one. But probably a neutral third-party source would be better, though such a thing may not exist.
Agree, the flat and tiny webcams aren’t really necessary at home or in the home office and I don’t know anyone who carries even the smaller webcams around.

As long as it doesn’t look too bad, a larger lens and sensor would be perfectly fine (think of the original iSight camera, something like that would totally be acceptable) and I’d rather not have my computer be slowed down even further by the webcam doing some magic in the background.

Myopic. Those people learned the lesson and can change expectations. You can't read minds. The market is primarily emotional and using what people feel now to prove your point long term is the same thinking that causes someone to buy Bitcoin at $69k thinking its going straight to one million usd.
Most ad agencies don't know anything about targeting. It's something in the platform they have, but they don't know how it works and if it works at all. Had worked on both sides, providing ads and using them in pages.
Would be much easier if the default becomes context sensitive ads. Showing an ad next to some news - give the platform some keywords and pick an ad based on that. No tracking or user targeting needed at all.
I'm the same, I follow the rules of only upvoting insightful or interesting replies, and only downvoting rude, angry, and insulty comments.

Quite simply, if I were replying in a moron fashion, I'd prefer you left me without the upvote as well, so I'll do the same to you.

Things to look for:

1. How much automata & does the founding team 'care' about technical best practices which will ultimately determine the operational cost of the systems & organization/ type of people to hire. (Do I want to work with the type of people the company is going to need to hire)

2. Do the co-founder(s) understand their market, do they have Realistic & Achievable plan, including visual 'mock ups' of any key behaviors of features, can they articulate the vision to me or will I have discretion on how to implement. I stay away from dubious social science, psychology, anything that is described as "the next xyz"

3. What is the equity structure being offered & compensation relative to the market opportunity (i.e. "how likely are we going to be an exit"). What is the market size, do we have customer #1 (and #2 .. etc.) in mind, a sales strategy, avoid a field of dreams "build it and they will come" mentality.

Fwiw, I have a horrible track record finding co-founders.
I prefer odd # of person startups. I don't ever do 50/50 anymore, its always 49/51 or 49.99 and 50.01 whatever it's never 50/50 by contract. One person is 'the decider' I always offer them the 51 but that balance might flip in my favor if they don't deliver on mutually agreed achievable KPI's, sort of like side-bets, and this equity percentage can move a lot at the early stages but it keeps everybody focused. If feelings and egos are going to be bruised I'd rather find out early, if they are going to be greedy and try and screw me later I'd rather not engage at all.
Also, their website makes my browser grind to a halt, they must use some kind of weird video codec that's not accelerated.

Interestingly, it's not a simple drop-in replacement when issuing Google fonts in a NEXT.js app's `_document.js` head.

>The real problem was Intel's focus on frequency above all else at the time. They were demoing I think a 10 GHz processor at Intel Developer Forum at one point.

>1. I am looking into them but my current metrics are self made and cost little. It's this cookie consent bullshit that is causing trouble, I want users to have to accept all my cookies (no 3rd party trackers though) when they sign up.

The answer is simple. Don't allow access to anyone unless they provide you with the tracking info you want.

Personally, I refuse to access sites which require me to provide them with information I don't wish to provide.

Please do post your site name, so I (even though I'm not in the EU) can make sure never to go there.

Good luck!
Websites can use whether or not a resource is cached (one way to measure that is how long it takes to load) to uniquely identify your browser and track you across the internet.

Another attack is to determine if you visited $popularWebsite by checking if resources it uses are cached (this could be useful to, for example, the Chinese government for surveillance on its citizens).
True. We usually do raster content 2x at all widths, and size everything in pixel-independent units. But you are right that thinking in that abstraction doesn't cover all the work.

What's the problem with iterator increment being (amortized) constant time for closed addressing? The algorithm could iterate over each bucket and on each bucket iterate over each element. Going from the end of one bucket to the start of the next one may be slower than within the same bucket, but still constant time.
I do think that's worrisome to some extent, but I don't think it's novel. All those issues exist already. Those automated systems aren't going to do anything to you that an army of click workers from a call center in India or fishing groups aren't doing already.

Whether you're being defrauded, mislead, scammed or your election or attention is stolen by bots or an army of trolls in a basement somewhere really doesn't make much of a difference. The problem is the same, mass communication allows attacks on people at low cost on a large scale. Human or robot, doesn't matter much. In either case skepticism and literacy are the answer.
There actually is a fix for your particular issue (and indeed this would help many people).

You just need to eat nutritiously dense, high fiber foods that have low caloric density to fill you up.

So a diet heavy in vegetables and whole foods would keep you full without keeping you at a heavier weight.

This would allow you to maintain a caloric deficit to get to your goal weight without going hungry, and once you get to your goal weight you can just reintroduce other foods that are more calorically dense if you'd like.

And using one of these exploits basically requires disconnecting from the network, losing online, and losing access to new games which will have minimum version requirements.
