I have a LG monitor with my Macbook Pro, flickering is a problem. It is a shame because I really like the fact I only need a single USBC for both power and monitor. It is annoying, and it definitely hurts your eyes.

I have then switched to a HP non-retina monitor.
The prior base model spread the load over two 128 Gig Flash chips on separate channels. Sounds like they had trouble sourcing enough of those and had to use a single 256 Gig chip instead. I haven't seen a teardown yet, but it's the only thing that makes sense.

Up until recently, Apple had been fairly immune to the supply troubles other vendors have been suffering from, since they lock in components on a long term contract.

I guess the pandemic supply chain problems lasted longer than their component contracts did.

I think it’s closer to taking out a loan in gold and offering to pay it back in Schrute Bucks. Lenders want to be repaid in the agreed currency.

(Also, if you don’t have access to the agreed currency because you invaded another country and are committing war atrocities, and no one will do business with you, then sucks to be you.)
I shoot with an A7iii (and I owned a D70s before), and while it's small, it's not uncontrollable or unbalanced for my use.

Bigger (mirrorless) cameras are bigger on purpose because you can fit more batteries inside and control heat better amongst other things, but I wouldn't want my A7iii to be the size of D70s or any DSLR, because it really hinders portability of these devices.

I agree Sony's APS-C cameras maybe miniaturized a bit too much, but A7/A9 series' size is perfect IMHO (and they manage their heat really well).
A lot of success that carnivores have is attributed precisely to the removal of fiber, so fiber seems to be giving some people severe issues.

Whether one should stay on the carnivore diet forever is ofcourse a different thing, but fiber is not an innocent thing as people say (at least for people in certain state, god knows what is going on in their intestines which causes them bloating etc.. after eating fiber).

Also don't forget that the Inuit (eskimos) hardly eat any fiber at all and they end up living a normal life.

Sometimes you have to read crap in order to realize it's crap.

Fortunately, over time, it seems that we develop a certain "smell" for books. I am very picky about what I read nowdays, and my "hunch" for good books seem to be mostly accurate.
The Russian economy is expected to contract by about 10–15%. For comparison in the 2008 “great recession” the US economy contracted by 4.2% over the course of 1.5 years. The Russian economy contracted by 5.3% in 1998 and it caused an acute political crisis which ultimately brought Putin to power.

This Ukraine war is a calamity for Russia’s economy. While Nabiullina has been doing an impressive job of sticking fingers in the dyke for a few months, pressure continues to build and the crisis doesn’t show signs of ending any time soon. Europe is working full speed on independence from Russian fossil fuels, and US/European officials are continuing to look for more ways to make sanctions hurt.

> And we are running to Venezuela, Saudi Arabia (the good guys this month) to get oil,

Nobody is under any illusions about this. But there’s only so much you can do on the time scale of a few months in a world economy totally dependent on fossil fuels.
Well if anything there are pretty much no clean hands on that regard: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/United_States_war_crimes

The US has set a high standard, nothing like napalming Vietnamese villages in case some guerilla fighters happen to be hiding there. (Or what about airstriking a busy highway and then releasing a "non-ideological" videogame blaming them CCCP/Russian Federation for it)

Even on just the political violence side: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/United_States_involvement_in_reg...
It's not like the US/EU can just sanction China and India on top of the Russian and Iranian sanctions. All that would do is make those countries more economically connected than ever before, and creating an alternative for smaller sanctioned countries like Syria and Venezuela, making all sanctions useless.

Notes on OpenSSL remote memory corruption by Guido Vranken
How has that government caring worked out over the past five decades of ballooning BMI and heart disease? Should we double down on government caring for us, or admit defeat and defund government food recommendations?
That’s true if you keep exercising at the same absolute output, but that’s not what you’ll naturally do. Your speedometer is how hard it feels.

What getting fitter enables you to do is increase the output without it feeling harder, either through increased duration or increased speed/power/etc.

Be wary of using heart rate as an indicator of this - it varies massively between people, and approximating energy output from it is not much better than using math.rand(). If you’re training to the same heart rate but your speed is going up, you can say you’re improving, but you can’t apply an absolute measure to it with any accuracy.
>Does anyone have an opinion on if it would have been better to stick with Intel?
Not even close.

I don't see having an obsolete model as being a huge issue because I don't see anything major Apple has in the pipeline. The actual performance improvements are modest and a major design or addition of new functionality isn't expected. The m2 Pro probably will exist mostly because of having to deal with Zen4/Raptor lake competition. When the laptop comes out, Apple is likely to charge a premium over the m1 model and continue to offer the m1 model.

I would probably just buy if I needed a laptop, and wait if I didn't.
> Are you keeping a diary of what is going through your mind?

I try to note the basics down, but I'm not a megalomaniac so i sure hope he keeps everything down for his legacy.

> He has gained significant territory in Ukraine in less than half a year which is not slow unless you expected he would concur the largest country in Europe in a week (in which case watch less Hollywood movies). The different NATO invasions all around the world are multi year projects, but Putin is delusional? Afghanistan was what, 20 years?

Russia was expecting a victory within a few days. The fact that they've been bogged down and had to give up on 2 of their 3 avenues of advance and the campaign is now approaching half a year, alongside the very heavy losses in men and matériel are indicative of a failure. The facts that they're conscripting en masse from the Donbass, getting museum pieces out of the reserves (like T-62s and Tochkas), have almost no air presence, use unguided munitions, have lost their Black Sea Navy flagship only add to that colossal failure.

Regarding Afghanistan and Iraq, those were multi-year affairs of occupation. The invasions lasted what, weeks-low months? And that's even more indicative of Russia's failure, their army is exhausted and is barely 1/10th of the way to conquering Ukraine, and if they manage to achieve that they'll have to occupy it for which they don't have the resources.

Meanwhile their economy is in shambles, manufacturing and imports of all sorts of stuff has stopped or has to take longer and much more expensive routes.

Yes, Europe will suffer in the coming winter, and yes, we have high inflation. Russia's inflation is worse and their economy is definitely in a worse shape. European decision makers knew full well sanctions on Russia will also heavily impact their countries - that was, to an extent, the whole point of economic cooperation, to make a conflict unthinkable economic suicide. Putin left them no choice, so the Russian economy is going up in flames while European economies are struggling and scrambling to find alternative fossil fuel sources from other dictators.

> I wish I had your unshakable trust in how good the West is doing in this conflict

This conflict isn't between the "West" and Russia. It's between Russia and Ukraine, and the latter are fighting for their survival, with lots of help from "Western" countries.
> And the extra money from labeling it organic didn’t come close to covering the extra effort.

And this right here is why people are skeptical about organic produce.

There seems to be two kinds:

- The kind that doesn't scale (so any would be environmental benefits would stop existing if it became more than a niche)

- The kind that scales because they're abusing loose definitions of "organic" to charge the end customer more money.
If you haven't tried a low-carb diet, you should and see how it works for you. I never felt better than I did when I was eating pretty much just Chipotle salads (chicken+salad+guac) and doing a bit of weightlifting three times a week (https://stronglifts.com/5x5). Of course, I was in my mid-20s and had three fewer kids, so there's that...

I'll add--free office snacks are the devil's work.
Those 99% of websites don’t have the performance problem you’re talking about. You’re talking about the 1%.

And yet there are thousands of people who posted their successful weight loss or bloating and autoimmune issues online which were solved by keto or carnivore.

The term "modern serious nutritionist" is a joke anyway: a true nutritionist is one who heals himself with a diet, and many people on keto do.

Science advances one funeral at the time.

Remember: ~150 years ago people were making fun of the guy and outsted him because he recommended that doctors should wash their hands before surgery! Now that is accepted and is known to be a prerequisite for a safe surgery.

Modern "serious nutritionist" are those kind of people: they are too arrogant and egoistic to see that thousands of people have given successful testemonies online.

Here is a list of them:

I tend to recommend to people who've not seen it, to watch the Theatrical Cut first. Then watch The Final Cut, and keeping watching The Final Cut, and never re-watch the Theatrical.

The Theatrical Cut obviously adds the narration, which for first-timers helps with the comprehension. However once you know the story. The Final Cut is just pure bliss and I never tire of it.

How would you ever prove an AI is sentient? People claim the goal posts constantly shift on the answer to this question and that's true, but I think the implied reason is not. The problem is not that we don't want to accept the success, but because we set irrelevant goals.

At one time some were claiming that one that could play chess better than a human would be expressing genuine artificial intelligence. Yet it turns out all you need to achieve that is the application of the refinement of some relatively basic algorithmic concepts and reasonably fast hardware. It's essentially a glorified version of adding faster than a human.

The latest goalpost is a system that can converse in a compelling fashion with a human (and we're nowhere near that yet, but getting into the details of the facade the most recent "turing test" success was is outside the scope of this post), but it will no more prove sentience than an AI's ability to play a good game of chess.

Once achieved, you'll be able to reset the system state, keeping a constant RNG, repeat the same conversations and get the exact same outputs. Or change the training set and see that reflected in a 1:1 way. It will look and feel decidedly artificial, because it is. And in my opinion, my initial question to you is probably unanswerable because I don't actually see any goal posts you can set where there is a genuinely compelling answer beyond the kick-the-can style intrigue of "Wow, what will it be like when we finally do this." Answer: "Pretty much the same as now."

You may not realize it, but this defer-happiness-to-the-future attitude is what the original article is recommending against:

Putting things off for the future is the biggest waste of a life. You deny yourself the present by promising the future. You’re relying on the future, which is outside of your control, and abandoning the present, which is the only thing you can control. The whole future lies in uncertainty – live immediately.

> Only a very narrow segment of the population values [great restaurants, coffee shops, music venues, and street art] when looking for somewhere to live.

Are you kidding? Why have people been urbanizing for the last few decades? Why do people value walkability? Why are small towns and rural communities losing population, even when people are able to work remotely? Why is all the most expensive real estate close to these things?

If you look at literally any research on the topic, the exact opposite is true. Only a small segment of people don't care about those factors[1]. Do you have any data to back up your assertion, or is it just your enlightened perspective that you're basing this on?

> Expand your perspective.

Expand your ability to make an argument other than implying that someone else is ignorant. That's a childish way to avoid actually supporting your argument. You have no idea where I grew up, where I live now, or what my perspective is.

People aren't automatically ignorant because they disagree with what your gut says or your own personal preferences.

Loc is a bad code metric when measuring at the scale of codebases. However, when measuring the succinctness of a language it has its place.

And, contains is a perfectly cromulent function to use unless there's a reason not to. At a million items it would be a bad use of contains if you were to lookup up multiple items, but modern day programming requires both knowledge of the code structure and the data.

Yes, python's type hinting is pants.

Most languages with good support for functional programming have lenses, which generalize keypaths. Off the top of my head: Haskell, Purescript, TypeScript, Scala, OCaml, Racket, and Common Lisp all have lens libraries.
Keto requires ~0 carbs (some references I can find claim up to 50g carbs per day), thus a very extreme kind of low-carb dietary.

While keto might not be recommended by nutritionists, a low-carb diet is widely recommended to diabetes/prediabetes patients (e.g. https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/managing/eat-well/diabetes-and-...)
OK, I imagine higher honey prices would bring more producers. Maybe some corn sugar producers would become honey producers. Then production would increase and price would decrease.

Totally not defending them, and depending how much staff you've seen (if it's in the hundred, yeah probably for the show) but I work in video game development with blockchain related stuff and even if I don't work in myself, blockchain dev seems indeed require more staff than usual, because each base feature using web3 seems indeed a lot more complicated (relatively, but a good x2-x5 for seemingly basic stuff). Another 'fun things' is that everytime you want to use blockchain for money transaction (probably more for legit than scammy uses since it's mainly important for time resilience) you want to target more than one blockchain, in case the blockchain encounter issues in the future.
How about a more complex type? Something like a custom class instance?

> It really depends on running form and individual physiology

True enough. I too have read "Born to Run", and would suggest that most modern humans aren't adapted to it (certain populations certainly, but most not). Although I have hit reasonably good times, I don't count myself among that population. In high school and in my 30's, I certainly was in the 90th percentile of runners, just by the numbers. Individual races, definitely higher. I love to look at the form and economy of top tier runners, and frankly, I'm not built like that; I could never perform like that. I'm bound to break down eventually, and I'm pretty good at running.

> on an elliptical machine or something

This is not running. This is training for running by not-running. Dress it up how you like, but it's how people like me save the damaging work for races.
It's a shame as it's one of my favourite films.

Dictionary merge is a weird one to single out to me, it's an existing operator (|) and functions the same way as a set union over the keys (which uses that operator) in concept, it's a very natural thing that doesn't feel like an expansion of the language, just behaviour you'd expect from the datatype.

I’ve noticed that sometimes a snack food will have 3 different kinds of sugar as the 2-4th ingredients. I’ve wondered if they break it up like that so that the first ingredient isn’t sugar, even if there is more sugar-type-ingredients than there is of the first-listed ingredient.

It’s possible they use multiple types for flavor/texture reasons, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some foods where it could be accomplished with sugar, but then everyone would know that the “snack” is mostly just sugar.
