>Sorry but in terms of obesity and weight loss, it's really not more complex.

No, it is extremely complex. "Calories in < Calories out" isn't even stating the principle you think it is. You want to make a statement about fat balance depending on calorie deficit, independent of what type of food you eat, and even that is completely wrong. Different foods take completely different paths through the human digestive system (e.g., fructose vs. glucose) and thus have completely different effects independent of their "calorie" count. Most people on a calorie deficit are not also exercising, and their weight loss is 25% muscle loss, which is a disaster for their future health.

Peter Attia makes a careful statement about "calories in/calories out" in the first few minutes of this lecture: https://youtu.be/31g94p5J2gE

Doug McGuff covers med school biochemistry and metabolism in the last part of this presentation, and mentions "internal starvation" where obese people crave food at regular intervals, but the food goes directly into fat tissue. https://youtu.be/2PdJFbjWHEU

Hey, if it is just calories in < calories out, why is Bill Gates so much richer than me? All he did was spend less than he earned, right?

I agree with all of that, too! And yeah, I think by now the meaning of "VPN" has well shifted, likely because of the privacy enhancement getting to popular (and I think I've also noticed that terms like "Intranet" and "Extranet" have somewhat fallen out of favor, too, but maybe that's just in my environments).

Very true. This technology will become dirt cheap in a matter of 2-3 years. Arguably a lot cheaper than brushes and paint were at the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. AI art, paints something beautiful which is computed using other paintings and real life objects. What an artist has in his head, the original idea, cannot be computed by the machine, by definition. The processes of the human mind, cannot be computed just like that.

I mean I think digital nomad is a bit of a misnomer to begin with.

Trying to do any meaningful or serious work while literally backpacking or in a van all the time sounds terrible and exhausting.

I think the more successful ones are just renting a monthly Airbnb or short term apartment but not necessarily traveling all the time and staying in hostels.

IIRC from Airbnb earnings reports an increasing high number of bookings are monthly rentals. I’m sure that is true of the US as much as elsewhere and would suit someone who wants to live a few months in one location and move to another within the US.
I think nuclear space propulsion would be used as a reactor generating energy for ionic drive. That would work as a Mars-Earth shuttle while never going into atmosphere. The landing to and launching from the plane surface would be done by regular chemical rockets.

An acquaintance of mine is a US Attorney. We got talking “crime and criminals” once and his comment stuck with me: essentially, all criminals have two full-time jobs. First, you have to advance your criminal enterprise. But second you have to not get caught. And just like your typical salaryman, criminals have off days, get lazy and phone it in, or get cocky and think they’re pulling one over on the boss. And all the while he has dozens of highly paid investigators with one job: to catch people slipping.

Most importantly, while the criminal has to be perfect all the time, his investigators just have to be right just once.

> I'm very skeptical that fully automated UI will ever replace giving the user a small selection of recommended items.

The TikTok fyp is vastly better than the Instagram discover tab, which gives you a menu of videos as jumping off point before you get sucked into scrollhole. I agree about autoscroll though. Sometimes I want to watch a video like 10 times, and feel very annoyed when Instagram had the auto scroll feature. I think it's gone now. Instead it just nudges the video up with a little messages that tells me to scroll for more. I always thought that must be a first-time user tutorial, but it never stops, so either it's broken or it's broken.

Yes, in 2017 and 3 companies later I've never looked back. Current application is an event-sourced system that includes a REST API, asynchronous event processing over SSE, and a scheduled job runner.

This is what u get for jumping on a bandwagon, instead I got my company to invest in a Software companies tech.

The same Xamarin app i built in 2014, still runs, on .net7. MS nailed crossplatform in a way that an ad company is never going to invest in. They needed to nail cross-platform to keep themselves as a company relevant; they lost the platform war, then redefined it.

Just launched more apps on the platform this year, love it to death. SAme skills i learnt in silverlight, still relevant 10yrs later. Share 90% of code across every platform; and that 10% is built on native wrapped libraries which are generated off every release. MS has the infrastructure and investment like no ad or book store would ever.

> There's no catastrophic failure mode for a solar/wind/storage based grid

Not to start the usual HN debate, but specifically in terms of the word 'catastrophe' being used. ... [Given current lack of storage] if there is lack of wind for two weeks and people are freezing in the UK, that could be a kind of high-severity catastrophe. A weather-system-related wind failure is a kind of common mode failure mechanism in that it can affect many nominally independent generators at once.

I agree regional damage from worst-case nuclear could be a different level of severity. Caveats about "well that's why long-distance transmission" granted.
I think the post is spot on. It's not really about how hard is the labor, it's specifically about value produced for others, for which "how much others are willing to pay you" is the best approximation we have.

To me, an average artist/band/... is at best, like an average roofer in the world where there are more roofers than houses - they are unnecessary and should do something else, or admit that roofing or art is just a side hobby. At worst, an average artist/band/... (the kind that the GP mentions, and I've certainly met) is like a roofer insisting that their personal roof that they are building on the ground level over a sand pit is inherently noble.

I think a better example is sports. On one hand, football players get paid a ton of money, by people who presumably consider it worthwhile, for "just playing a game once a week". On the other, imagine every relatively unimpressive rando on deviantart or whatever played football instead, on the same relatively unimpressive level. Do we need so many football players? Sure, they can do it as a hobby, but in terms of social value/making a living, we certainly don't.
The US Navy utilizes highly enriched uranium reactors that don't have to be refueled every few years, I think it's more like a 20 year lifetime between refueling. Unfortunately this is not an acceptable civilian model as HEU is bomb-grade, i.e. it's very easy to take the fuel rods and turn them into simple Hiroshima-style nuclear weapons.

Also, the US Navy lost two submarines, and the Scorpion case in particular might have been related to a nuclear power plant failure, although there's been no comprehensive report as of yet:

Or they understand it perfectly and have made a conscious choice to target a lower tier of talent.

In a way I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the boardroom when this is discussed.

Because really, it's sad. I would have taken a significant salary drop to go work on something like this because the Ford office was local to me and the work sounded interesting and potentially more impactful than what I was doing at the time.

The metal wire connects the input to the two gates. The PMOS (upper) transistor turns on if the input is low; it connects the output (right) to the high voltage (left). The NMOS (lower) transistor turns on if the input is high; it connects the output to the low voltage. Each transistor has a contact (via) that connects the transistor to the gate's output. Thus, working together the two transistors implement an inverter. The power connections to the transistor aren't shown in the diagram; they are off to the left.

As for the shapes, they are basically created as a consequence of the routing. The gate is the important part; it needs to be a rectangle with specific dimensions (based on the circuit). The rest of the transistor can meander as needed. Because there's only one metal layer, a lot of routing needs to be done through the silicon.

The cross-section diagrams earlier in the article might help.

Application developers can still pin their in-ecosystem library dependencies to exact versions and have downstream, distro-level package managers respect that while building everything from source and making the system package manager aware of all of those library versions in more or less the usual way. (That's how building Rust and Go applications already works on NixOS, for example.)

That's why I say it's largely a solved problem for language ecosystems that tick a few basic boxes.

Can't Nuget and MSBuild support this? Can they not dump lockfiles like common build tools for Rust, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Python, Nim, PHP, etc., do? Is there a general problem (like there is with Java) where actually building from source is so difficult that it is rarely done?

Anyway there's already a suite of Linux packaging options built around the kind of app distribution model Microsoft expects, and Canonical even has one of their own! I don't see why they wouldn't support distributing .NET applications as Snaps, or maybe even automating the creation of Snap packages for .NET applications.
His comments on Vim are rather annoying and surprising. He says he spent a week using pure vi (not vim) as a test in comparison to Visual Studio (or whatever IDE). Such a poorly informed comparison. I don't really care what he uses, but it's annoying that he chose the absolute worst way to do the experiment and concluded, unsurprisingly, that it isn't worth it. Yeah, I don't want to use vi either. That's why I use Neovim with Language Server Protocol (LSP) plugins that uses the same "intellisense" as VS Code does.
Partiality in law is clear and the evidence is overwhelming. Poor defendants lose while wealthy defendants can drag out the process indefinitely. Wealthy plaintiffs can bankrupt individuals trying to defend themselves: the music industry used this strategy during the time of Napster -- feel free to look it up.

Impartiality is the hypothetical story we tell ourselves to make us feel good about, for example, Hunter Biden taking selfies with 20g of crack cocaine while black men do 10 years or more for the same crime. There are so many examples that if this one offends your politics, let me know, and I'll provide you with examples that will comport with your preferred media source.

It's useful to work backwards from the knowledge a DS needs to be worth their weight. Imagine a small team of $400K/yr DS + $400K/yr DE + ... and whatever hw/sw . So say a $2-3M/yr project driving $3M+ of new growing revenue or $6-12M of annual savings. At bigger companies, even more magnitudes & pressure :)

The DS will likely:

- be close to the business case & business stakeholders to ask questions a normal lead can't

- know the relevant math + ML algorithms, and build up specializations pairing DS niches ("time series forecasting") with industry niches ("supply chains in manufacturing")

- enough engineering & performance understanding to work with a DE on going from small data sets to big ones

- have an intuitive feel for all of the above - how data/usecases/etc. go right/wrong

That's a lot!!

One path is jumping in as a low-paid intern or new grad and doing your time. But a pivot is different, esp. to get paid along the way. Most CS grads had little math ("intros to stats, combinatorics, & algs; dropped linear algebra"), weak ML ("did algs; intro to ML only covered kmeans & bayes; tried running a BERT model on some data"), and little intuition for how ML typically goes wrong ("what's class imbalance?"). So if they do get hired directly as a mid-level DS, it's probably on a team of the blind-leading-the-blind. Oops.

BUT SQL/Spark/K8S/pandas/regex are real skills. Doing the data engineering, ML operations, etc., around making an ML pipeline more than a fanciful notebook that wouldn't last a minute in production is real work. That stuff does pay well, and by working with the ML folks, you'd naturally get pulled into the ML tasks as well. DS write all sorts of bugs that surface as production evolves and the full team works together on, and new features that needs a team to make real. So taking a job that mixes engineering specialties with ML specialties is a smoother pivot path for the typical CS backgrounds I've seen. Over time, drift to more ML-y aspects of the projects happening until you can do the full hop. (Nit: That won't teach the math & deeper intuition, so I'd still do courses + projects on the side.)

Over water isn't too bad a problem as many major routes (e.g. US - Europe, US - Asia, US-Australia, Asia - Australia) are over long stretches of ocean.

But will the range be there? Concorde was severely range limited, which somewhat defeats the purpose of faster travel (if it only works on medium length routes).

Cutting a 14hr SYD-SFO flight down to 8.5hrs is just more impactful than cutting a 7h LHR-JFK flight down to 4.2 (when taking into consideration significant time at the airfields for taxi, boarding, security checks etc)

Concorde didn't have the range for long haul and once you need to land to refuel you lose all time savings.

Maybe, but I don't see how it could work. It's like Walmart trying to sell luxury products to billionaires. The regular customers won't afford these luxury products, and the billionaires sure as hell aren't going to shop at Walmart. AA is the Walmart of airlines (or worse); anyone with good taste isn't going to buy a ticket from them for any price, no matter how fast the plane is. These planes aren't going to be that much faster; why bother with shitty AA service when you can get a ticket on one of the Asian airlines or Emirates instead and enjoy high-quality service?
True, though I'm not always passing through something that will give me a shell (often enough that this generally works, though)
Why wouldn't you want 32" of space instead of 24"? Bigger pixels make it easier to see the fine details, especially after you hit 40. Personally, I've got a 32" display that's native at 1920x1080, which is about as small as pixels need to be, for me. (I'm 58)
You are most likely trying to type too fast. Focus on your technique and then, try to type faster once you feel comfortable.

Catastrophic accidents with large airplanes can also make airports dangerous places, right? We still have whole cities around them - is it because events like 9/11 are at least as rare as Chernobyl accidents?

Why not to build nuclear powerplants away from lands used for other purposes? Aren't we better with both designing safer plants and containing them in case of something bad - except maybe Russia going to war to Zaporizhzhia near the station - happens?
It's more like 6.5 but who is counting. It's a reasonable number for a regular human's vehicle. Esp with low rolling resistance tires.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as Murdoch machinations (old media tax extraction - besides, that's settled law here). During oral arguments one of the justices rightly pointed out that Google has a financial incentive in hyperlinking. Consider that Google may summarise a news article and display it in the search results - effectively stealing the ad traffic from the news publisher.
