Maybe androids in Electric Sheep have almost a Capgras Delusion quality, especially in the scene in the fake police station. They seem human but they're lacking an essential emotional quality that makes them 'real.'
Depends on the situation but my iPhone is the camera I always have with me and it's good enough in almost all situations (eg: when there is no expectation to make prints). For more set and formal photos I bring out the "real" camera mainly for its ability to use off-camera flash. If iPhone or Android supported the use of RF-triggered wireless off-camera flash combined with RAW mode photography it would be yet another nail in the coffin of interchangeable lens cameras.

(The "real" camera has changed over the years; I used to shoot Nikon DSLRs but switched to a Sony a6400 [that I hate] and am contemplating a switch again, either to a full-frame Sony or a Canon R6.)
The linked piece is pretty biased, describing a text message and literature as "harassement"; have you seen the tatics the unions use to recruit and try to certify?
You'll be happy in one of the "right-to-work" states then. Wonder why they're hit the hardest by the "labor shortage?"

You are right - The a big difference is the increase in processed sugars/foods and what I personally call hidden sugars(For example, corn syrup is added into sausage). Many people do not also think of carbs as sugars. Our ancestors ate carbs for thousands of years but it was healthier carbs e.g whole grains. So its better for you to eat corn/beans than something like a big mac with a chocolate shake(the science is there).
I believe that the point of this article is low carb diet should also be included in the diet recommendations so that health practioners should also have it in their arsenal of tools && schools to teach it. It's not an either or argument.
I’ve done marathon training while on keto. Obviously a much different power output need to cycling so take this with a grain of salt… it took me about a month to adjust. That first month had me really struggling to even do 50% of the training distance I was used to. And then it all just clicked suddenly. Not like I started improving again, literally went from struggling to straight back to race performance. One day I was struggling to do a slow 10km. A few days later I ran 35km near race pace. It was a very weird experience.

I’ve been out of keto and training habit for a few months now (recovering from surgery) but I also seem to recall having a different sense of energy awareness while running. Like somewhere between the 30-40min range of a run I’d suddenly feel more awake and like I’d just had a coffee.
That's why GDPR complying webservers either disable logs or keep them on a rotating 30 day basis (a real legitimate interest to have insight into potential DDoS attacks).

Now you can take a guess how many actually do either of those two things... I would not even put it at above 1%.
“well, they may be bigots, but you need to learn to argue with bigots if you want to make progress”

In my experience, the more opinionated a person is, the less rational they are, so arguing with them is a waste of time. Most bigots enjoy arguing with you, but it doesn't change their opinions.
Yeah, I've been interested in the long-term effects of this kind of thing for a while and AI posts have been part of the landscape for a long time already. Occasionally you see posts where the image tells you to respond in a particular way to prove you're not an AI (the theory being the AI is taking the text post as an input but not parsing the attached image for text). Sure enough, a portion of replies respond only to the text. Not a concrete test, but interesting nonetheless.

All of this feels similar to the late nineties and early 2000s where viruses and spyware proliferated against ill-prepared home computers and their users. Tech & culture eventually got a lid on things (mostly), but not without great loss of innocence and a reduction generally in 'openness'.

Online discussion is probably going through a comparable phase, and will suffer a comparable loss of innocence/utility as a result.

But a more human-like AI chatbot being thrown into the mix is not some game-changing event, just a logical progression of what's been true for a long time already. Perhaps if nothing else it will increase awareness that this kind of thing is basically everywhere online already, and erode the increasingly inaccurate belief that what we read from 'other people' online is genuine. A loss of innocence, sure, but it's fairly obvious that innocence is being hugely exploited already and has been for some time now.

It's perhaps going to be a net neutral thing - While more AI posting and responding will result in some real people wasting time conversing with them and reading their unreal opinions, they're also going to suck in other AI and non-genuine (shill etc) posters and waste their time/posts as well. Where this gets dicey is that posting and responding are not the only two sides of the interaction - You also have real people simply reading and not responding. This is where the main outcomes are generated - What they read and how that influences them onwards is really the battleground being fought over here, and where the wider dangers present.

Perhaps everything ultimately descends into a SubRedditSimulator type state and real people gradually withdraw from the whole thing as it becomes useless to them.
What is the advantage of this compared to create some pages on for example neocities?
> This amount of carbohydrates may seem quite low to the average person, but remember that for the most part, people turn to this way of eating because they’ve been diagnosed with a serious health problem, such as diabetes, which usually means that they can no longer tolerate high levels of sugars or starches.

This is disingenuous, right?
> The device takes its measurements by shooting an electrical current into the skin and then analyzing the body’s response, which is known as bioimpedance. There is a correlation between bioimpedance and changes in blood pressure that has to do with blood volume changes. However, the correlation is not particularly obvious, so the team had to create a machine learning model to analyze the connection to get accurate blood pressure readings.

This makes me curious how accurate, precise, and responsive the readings are. The article didn't mention anything in that regard.
sure, unless you happen to step on anyone's pet theory about the jews/illuminati that apparently control the world.
Just to share another data point, I had similar numbers several years ago and tried the same thing, didnt want to take meds so made significant changes to my diet and exercise. My cholesterol was getting to the point of needing medication too. I dropped something like 20-30 lbs, cut out a lot of carbs and most sugar. Felt great, but my bp and cholesterol numbers didnt move at all. started meds for both and theyre both well controlled now. Dont intend to refute your story, im told mine is genetic and hereditary. Always worth a try to see if life changes can make the difference though.
Almost certainly.

A day or two ago it was all orange on black and said “welcome back to 1972” across the top.
This. After my experiences at a union shop, I would never vote to unionize, seems to serve only to keep useless people around with management having to play hot potato with them as they're too hard to get rid of. Oh and as a bonus you get to pay for wasting half your day on useless people.
"Certain dietary choices that have been linked to heart disease, such as an 8 oz (230 g) serving of hamburger daily, were technically permitted under the pyramid."

Urgh.
A lot of hate in this thread. If you stop analyzing the utility/practicality/extensibility of it you might admire just how beautiful it is (or try to picture the tired dev taking a coding break to do some "art").

Love this stuff.
In my experience that’s the primary positive point of carb-restrictive diets.

In general I find it extremely hard to restrict calories under a standard North American diet due to craving carb-heavy foods and feeling a constant base level of hunger. When on keto I tend to only feel hunger around dinner time and have no issues at all with portion control throughout the rest of the day.

I think the real advantage of low carb diets is regulating hunger and making it easier to properly manage carb intake - at least in my case.
Perhaps they disagree, but they don't disagree enough to inconvenience themselves or stop publicly associating with their credentials. In fact they proudly sign public documents with their company name.

Maybe a normal person might prefer their salary or position over disagreements like this, that's a fair position. But these people put themselves on a higher moral ground by "condemning unethical use of AI". Clearly they need to be more ethical if they judge others based on this.
From an organizational standpoint its better because it lets a sysadmin/security person sandbox anything and everything instead of having to become proficient with the tooling for every different language (which may not even exist).
This is a well done and concise guide from the author of the Kemal framework for Crystal. I really like it.
> In my view allowing new leases on federal land[1] and asking oil companies to boost supply[2] is breaking his campaign promise to end fossil fuels[3].

But as you rightly point out there are so many that he has kept that one hardly makes a difference and he still is the most popular president ever so I don't mean to disparage him.
As far as this actually does anything, the birds will surely learn to ignore it / navigate around it. That is why house sparrows are so widespread in the first place, they have adapted to all the stupid things we humans do.

Are you better negotiating alone against a big corporation? It seems that you are overestimating your personal bargain power. (And maybe overestimating your own ability)
She Wrote a Dystopian Novel. What Happened Next Was Pretty Dystopian
Is that actually more true now than it was in, say, the 1950s, or is it just that pessimism is the preferred way for educated people to fit in?
For the longest time I was pretty meh about following newer Python releases, instead preferring to stick with a "python--" subset that would work across all the machines in my fleet. But recently I've really been enjoying the new features and have decided to make 3.10 my standard. In particular, the type annotations make my editor (LunarVim) a LOT smarter and let me find many errors before I even run the code.

Part of that has been that Ubuntu 22.04 has 3.10 in it. So, while I'd like to go up to 3.11, I'm not sure there's a good story for adding 3.11 to a 22.04 system.
IMO, this is a nonsense standard. On the one hand, you have an old compiler. On the other hand, you have a new program. Expecting an old compiler to build a new program isn't exactly reasonable, although I grant it depends on taste and the time interval. A better comparison would be to try compiling an older version of the program.

Basically, if you're in environment where you can't or won't update your compiler to something more recent, then why do you expect to be able to use recent programs? Why not use older programs in line with your old compiler?

This is what I don't get about the Debian/Centos folks. They specifically use a Linux distro that gives them old software and then complain when they can't build new programs. Well, if you're using Debian/Centos, then you're committed to old programs. So build old programs, not new programs. Either that, or go install 'rustup' and bring in a newer compiler.
thanks, this is what I was looking for for my upcoming interviews.
Germany in theory has laws against that. But this still happens - the problem is that you can’t just make “close warehouse” illegal and then things come down to what you can and cannot prove about the motivations of the company. And that’s often hard.
That is baffling logic. Sure, they think they know best and want to ignore the wishes of the owner of the web site. Why then respect a NOINDEX meta-tag instead of robots.txt?
I think that should have been obvious as far back as GPT-2. Once people know it's possible to build an AI like that, then they know it's just a question of persistence, resources and time to replicate the result.
I looked it up on KYM, and the Sunil Tripathi incident a pretty good reason to ignore Reddit, too.
Propaganda seems to work, then.
> BTW, if you share a Chinese saying that people can Google and be educated and delighted by, I think it would be welcomed. Even in Chinese.

Exactly.
I’d say that is absolutely untrue in the case of agile.

Those promoting scrum (and especially those with certifications in it) are going to lead to scrum, not an agile process that values producing useful, working software each iteration.

A reminder to those who demonize carbs: as Stephan Guyenet points out, restricting your consumption of any category of food--whether you're avoiding carbs, or fat, or meat, or plants--will reliably cause weight loss by removing some highly rewarding/palatable foods from your diet.

So we shouldn't be surprised that both low-carb and vegetarian diets can produce weight loss, and that many people have had success with each method.
You can still negotiate and be in a union. Nobody takes that away from you. The union negotiates minimal conditions for all like minimal wage. You are a top performer - go the exact route you've described - nobody will stop you. It can work or not as you've said and the solution would be to find a new job.
A driver doesn’t exist in a vacuum, they are attached to OSs, and all prominent OS today is written in C. Python does have better FFI with C than java, but I really don’t see how that would prove anything contrary to Java.
Yes, but you could buy an Xbox for the same cost as your union fees :)

I have observed that twitter's bot hits links within seconds of being tweeted. The traffic comes from several locations, not all twitter ASNs. One interesting source is Apple. Their bot/scanner hits soon after.
FWIW there is a proposal in the works to add page-based protection, which will allow unmapping the 0 page, restoring the trap-on-null-deref behavior that is important for many languages with safety checks.

Interestingly, my browser's default monospace choice of Courier is only very slightly distorted by the arrowheads. Like at most 2 pixels off when looking at it at whatever size it is on the dot-to-ascii site. Switching to Menlo results in no distortion at all.
I really hope you are wrong about the future of online discussion, because that's not the world I want to see come to pass.

Why ? I don't think unions forbid any direct negotiation. Or this is a US-thing ?

You say Western diet but I think you’re forgetting about India. Most of the vegetarian dishes have huge amounts of carbs. I was kinda shocked at how much carbs and fried starchy foods it contains.

The one thing I do like about the Indian vegetarian diet is they arent trying to recreate meat-like foods, ex. veggie burgers and fake meat.

Because it's not presented as an opinion from a single viewpoint but as news, which we expect (perhaps naively) to be balanced and have multiple viewpoints. That's the failure.
Yes, thank you, this is correct. I probably should have removed "system" and hunted around for another letter to remove.

If that was the cause, then you'd see it reflected in exchange rates. For example, Canada did about half as much QE per capita as the US did. You would expect that to cause the American dollar to fall against the Canadian dollar, but in fact it has risen. And Canada isn't a picked example, almost every western country did less QE than the US and yet has seen their currency fall against the dollar.
The law says the worker has the right to listen to the employer. If I get propaganda posters and text messages - do I still have that right or is that taken away from me? If it is taken away - harassment
So nobody in the world has good centralised sorting. That's our reality. So what does that imply then as to people not wanting to deal with the pain of presorting? You say that it's the proper thing to do in that reality. I'm welcome to using a word other than maturity to describe the phenomenon if you can suggest one. I'm not married to that word.
> You're not going to be able to guarantee that with a single server running in a rack somewhere.

The way most “enterprises” deploy distributed systems, I’d be surprised if a single server didn’t typically result in better uptime to be honest.
Show HN: Open-Source Book on Fitness
Just a small 60 pages book I wrote about how to get started with working out and nutrition. I personally found it difficult when I started, the information was all over the place so I thought writing a book like this could be useful! I know it's mostly about working out in a gym, but I hope to add more stuff to the book in the future. Let me know what you think, and contributions are welcomed!

That really depends what the unions demands are and whether a worker thinks they are achievable or desirable. That's going to vary from location to location and from worker to worker. AFAIK, Amazon pays better than competitors assuming you can meet the work rates. If you can, you may well think that even higher pay is unlikely. And if the union is directly seeking things you are NOT willing to risk your job for (political campaigns for instance do nothing for me) then again, why vote yes?
We do not :) It was never an issue there. Bots get ignored for stats, Google IPs get blocked for Ads (Google seems to think every ad link has to be visited by a ton of bots, our customers actually started complaining about the traffic)

Even if Microsoft claim this is about security scanning, isn't it fairly trivial to configure your webserver to serve up different content depending on the User-Agent request header?

BingBot scans the link, gets a dummy page with 'clean' content, Microsoft delivers the email message to the user, user clicks through the link with actual browser, gets phishing / malware content...

Amazon starts at $18/hr.

You want $100/hour to pack and move boxes? Start a moving company.

Healthcare isn't a right. It is a luxury. Self defense, free speech, freedom of movement and association; those are human rights. Healthcare is only expensive because of the multiple layers of government and private corruption, litigation, and pie-halving. At the same time, Healthcare can save your life; what is your life truly worth? A $10 co-pay?

If we had a good education, then people wouldn't be whining about $18/hour.

Safety? Such as being insulated from ideas & opinions you don't like, or having zero risk for electrocution in electrical contracting?
Interesting phenomenon I’ve noticed: Any thread on HN related to unions soon gets newly created accounts arriving to spread anti-union FUD talking points.
eBay embodied the spirit of the early internet. It's P2P. It's like a massive flea market. You never know what you'll find just looking around.

It's not Amazon. eBay doesn't have warehouses. They don't own Whole Foods. They don't show you things other purchasers bought that were looking at the same items you are. They don't try to rope you in to Prime. They aren't the modern-day Sears catalog.

The buyer/seller communities on eBay's forums were amazing. People knew each other. They quickly weeded out bad sellers and you could actually contact people. Amazon introduced 'reviews'.

But they normalized buying things from random people on the internet. My first laptop, I purchased from a person on a newsgroup and mailed them a money order. I later sold that same laptop on eBay with a photo, PayPal for payment, etc.
