CADPAT is the Canadian camo. MARPAT is the American USMC camo. The difference is that MARPAT has a lot of browns and tans in it, while CADPAT is mostly green; the pattern is the same otherwise.

The top comment there (from a structural biologist) is worth reading. Here's my opinion, as a computer scientist that worked in this area.

A protein sequence is analogous to a computer program, but the "machine" is a mostly-water solution, and the instructions are interpreted by summing up all the intermolecular forces at play as the sequence is squirted out of a little extruder as a string (as in the stuff your clothes are made of, not text). Bits of the string repel and attract each other and it globs up in some biologically useful structure. The folding problem is the problem of predicting that structure from the string.

Unlike the halting problem, there is no way to generate an execution trace saying a particular glob would be formed in reality. In fact, there is no way to perform a polynomial time check of the result, so we've already escaped the land of P and NP.

Also, things like temperature and proximity to other proteins mean that there might not be a unique fold for a given sequence. Therefore, like the halting problem, we have unknown inputs, and we need to figure out which states an arbitrary program can reach.

When someone claims to have "solved" folding, you should be as skeptical as you would be if someone claimed to have solved the halting problem for arbitrary machine code, and that they don't need any extra information about the machines that run that code. Although their program runs on conventional computers, it also works on programs written for quantum computers.

As a CIO/CTO, I am very hands-on, but I don't feel offended by this statement; I do agree that there are many companies where the CIO/CTO are often vendor management, and more administrative than technical.

I'm not sure I agree about COOs though. My experience with COOs is that they typically have the pulse of the company and are actually quite close to the ground.

I'm a computational physicist (w/ PhD), with an undergrad education in CS, looking to make the jump from computational science to industry. I've spent the last 6+ years building large Python, C++, and Julia codebases for high-performance statistical computing and modeling, with a focus on modeling and analyzing extremely high-frequency time-series.

If you have challenging mathematical or computational problems, especially those that are fundamentally stochastic, then I'd love to chat about how I could leverage my experience to solve your problems!
Since you seem to understand why people might want fake meat, it seems you are really just taking a judgmental position in which you condemn others for not going far enough along an axis in which you don't even take one step.
Thanks so much! Glad to see you’re doing well!
> people spent longer choosing between options that were roughly equal in value than between options in which there was a large value disparity.

This seems rational and predictable. It would be wild if people spent more time evaluating decisions between vastly different values. “People spend too much time” on choice paralysis because they’re overwhelmed by too many hard to distinguish things.
WordPress is fantastic, but sometime it's complex plugins/themes make headaches.

For example - if you make site for some small client like a "mobile tire services" or "locksmith in XYZ" their site won't be changed for months or even years.

And here is a Catch 22 - because content won't be changed, they (customers) refuse to pay for maintenance. When something happens (broken plugin update, outdated theme, hacking, etc) it's too late and site need to be fixed that may take few hours (or even days).

That's why for such customers - static site it's perfect. I will add also Bootstrap Studio to that list:

It's not this simple and you know it. Finding and replacing a tiny defective component is labor intensive to diagnose and to fix and not guaranteed at all. labor intensive = expensive.
If Google or Stadia would just, gasp, make some kind of official statement, this uncertainty would stop. Google is known for killing products off with little notice, so a ton of people are scared to even mess with it - and worse, believe obviously fake rumors like this because of how believable it seems for them.

All it would take is a 'we have a roadmap and service guarantee for 5 years' or some such wording to make a lot of people feel better. Google's refusal to do so speaks volumes.
See the other thread about humans taking too long to make decisions between roughly equal options.

Requiring consensus for business decisions is a guarantee of slow decisions. With a good process, you can make the easy decisions in a timely manner, but the hard decisions will still take a long time, and there's going to be a lot more effort spent on coming to decisions.

You kind of said it by accident here:

> I am convinced that we need to move companies from effective hierarchical dictatorships to more democratic institutions.

You want to move from effective leadership to something else. ;p

It's much better, IMHO, to work towards making sure decisions can be made quickly and reconsidered if necessary, than to try to make sure decisions are made correctly at the cost of finding consensus.

Wow, can you point me to research and books on this? I happen to have a bachelor degree in the field and am always eager to find non traditional ways to grow especially pasture for dairy cows, but anything harvestable will be interesting just for the soil science alone.
There are so many nonsense C-levels. I agree on CCO. I've seen "Chief Innovation Officers" "Chief AI Officers" and more and I couldn't tell you what they are actually accomplishing, and why there needs to be a separate C-level from the CIO, CTO, etc. It seems like it's about padding at the top and getting the friends of the CEO in levels of management.

Well intended article that is a long winded recommendation to turn off your phone notifications and stop reading news. It could be a lot shorter. Aaronsw had similar thoughts about the news, back in 2006: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews

It is advice worth following, I think, though not so easy a lot of the time. My main trick for online distraction avoidance is to use separate computers for goofing off and for getting work done. Needless to say, reading HN or posting on it = goofing off.

Probably a better compromise is stainless press-style fittings. The tools are going to be much too expensive for the average homeowner plumbing needs, but they work out in the commercial sector or for professional plumbers.

MegaPress and ProPress are a couple of popular brands.

The also have an advantage that they avoid "hot work" in places where it leads to greater regulation / stringent safety precautions.
Disc brakes are a must-have for me on a bike now. They add a tiny bit of weight, but the performance difference much more than makes up for it. They stop faster, but they're also much easier to modulate, and their performance doesn't change when it's raining, so for real-world riding (I frequently get caught in the rain where I live, and I ride my normal bike for commuting and shopping) it's a huge safety improvement. There's no way I'm going back to rim brakes.

In the future, I expect to see some improvements with disc brake hose routing. They're hydraulic, so they don't actually need to be straight like mechanical cables, so this would enable a lot of changes that can't be done with old-style cables, much like electronic shifting allows changes because it uses electric wires or even wireless comms.
> And F1 compared to McMurtry Spéirling EV at GoodWood

A 23-year old F1 car - for whatever reason, the FIA doesn't let the teams do timed runs at Goodwood anymore.

But then when they give specific examples it includes burgers and french fries and paragraphs like:

> "In Brazil, ultraprocessed foods make up 25% to 30% of total calorie intake. We have McDonald's, Burger King and we eat a lot of chocolate and white bread. It's not very different, unfortunately, from many other Western countries," said coauthor Dr. Claudia Suemoto, an assistant professor in the division of geriatrics at the University of São Paulo Medical School.

It seems "ultraprocessed" is just a generic label you put on foods you consider bad. McDonald's and Burger King burgers might be crap, but they are probably less processed than artisan whole wheat bread, Red Wine, Tofu or Parmesan Cheese.

The most interesting thing about this hack was that most of the money drained was taken by people running copycat transactions of the original exploit to steal tokens held in the bridge contract. No code or solidity knowledge needed, just people (mostly bots) noticing the hack going on and pulling their own share of sometimes millions of USDC and other tokens by just changing one parameter (destination wallet address). Towards the end, hundreds of bots were fighting for miner priority to drain the remaining tokens.

Rio has full fleet (bobcat, bulldozers, loaders, trains, underground mining speciality (uphole drillers, etc)) ambitions and they're working their way through them all.

Some of their talent date back to sheep shearing robots in the early 1980s.

In the same geographic region (W.Australia) there are related automata projects such as self recharging drone clouds about tractors, agri-bots (visual identification + weed spraying), integrated geophysical air survey, etc.

I was somewhat curious as to your awareness of all this (eg: Rio's plans for a full automated "bottom up" $64 billion copper mine in the US (should it go ahead)).

Also, while we're here, do you have any in house mining | industry experience driving tractors, dump trucks, ship loading, etc. yourselves?

Well, it's also the people still on the ladder are the ones that aren't smart enough to realize there's diminishing returns on personal wealth and a diminishing supply of personal time.

In less than two years I went from my second job out of college to being offered to come up with any role for myself in a 10B cap company in order to retain me as I was getting bored, and after a night's sleep I came back and gave my notice.

The person that offered that position later turned down an offer for CEO of a 100B+ company for similar reasons.

There absolutely are people out there that shoot up the ladder based on skill. But when the people holding the ladder don't realize at a certain point time is worth more than any amount of additional money, it's hard to keep those that do realize it from jumping off.

The problem with filling the C-level positions isn't just that good candidates are obscured by founder Dunning-Kreuger, it's that generally the pool of candidates is going to be biased towards people echoing the BS toxic work culture that is the startup world, and the good candidates are going to have grown past participating in that charade.

WFH and changing attitudes about work life balance may reduce achiever churn moving forward, but I still see the "I'm so busy" posturing with C-levels and their wannabes here and there when I still have to interact with them, so I doubt it's going away soon.

> Sometimes after deep thought, you may decide one of them is actually better, but not by very much.

I feel like the value here is simply not for the decision at hand. It's that you learn something for future decisions.

When the options are very close, there's not much value to be gained for this decision, but it indicates there is something new to learn. When the options are obviously far apart, there's nothing to learn.

I've thought about this on and off in the context of poker. When you're playing 24 tables at the same time you simply can't waste focus in the moment on the close calls unless the pot is big. Instead, analyze the things you think are close calls offline.
It’s long past time to regulate porn and prohibit unverified posting. Websites posting porn profit insanely from non consensual images and videos. Mindgeek should have prohibited unverified posting a long time ago, and I personally can’t wait for this suit to hopefully win against mindgeek and open the floodgates to sue the other irresponsible sites that allow unverified posting of amateur porn, which is mostly non consensual.
