Ghee is like 30% palmitic acid. I use it for cooking everything that doesn't call for oil, but people on a palm oil crusade might want to steer clear.
It's true. It's not like online communities are fighting for physical space. For attention maybe, but that's debatable.

The headlines like "AI art banned!!!" just generate more clicks as this thing is fresh new
It purports to be both a non-republican democracy and a monarchy.
> I'm not aware of any proponents of driving while high.

> Again, who's advocating for pregnant women to consume cannabis?

I thought the comment was making clear what was considered a risk, not what is being advocated? People certainly do drive while under the effects of cannabis, I've known a few. I don't know anyone who consumed it while pregnant but I'm sure they do exist.

> I'm not sure anyone thinks you should smoke a bunch of drugs before studying for finals.

Again, I know people who've done this.
Two common variants to make chess games competitive are material odds (for an extreme skill difference, the better player could start without a Queen) and time odds, say 2 minutes and 10 minutes for the whole games for the better and worse players.
It has been really inaccurate for me the past 6 months. I’ve gotten wet a couple of times when I trusted it. It was great, but Apple has killed it. R.I.P Dark Sky.
I agree that it's a concentration of market power. I disagree that government intervention is necessary or beneficial here.
It didn't occur to me until they were gone, but I wish I'd asked my roofers what they used. I had my roof replaced a couple years ago in early March. Here in the Puget Sound area by than the winter rain has fallen off, but February and March still average about 6 inches each, so the schedule was "we'll do it when it isn't going to rain".

I got a call one evening saying they'd be over at 8 AM the next day, unless forecasts changed before then. That surprised me because all my weather sources were saying there was a high chance of rain after noon.

They showed up at 8 AM and promptly got to work removing the old roof. I'd expected them to work in sections, taking off the old roof in a section and then putting the new on up to the waterproof underlayment. (The shingles were due to be delivered that evening, so would have to wait until the next day). That way if the rain came earlier than expected they would be able to waterproof whatever section they were on in time.

Nope. They took it all off. They were confident that whoever was doing their forecasting was right that they had enough time to get the whole thing waterproof before the rain started.

As they started putting on the new stuff the clouds were darkening and it sure looked to me like rain was imminent. But they just kept going at the same pace.

As they put the last of the waterproof lining on and started coming off the roof, it started pouring. They packed up, told me they would be back tomorrow at 8 AM to put on the shingles, and left.
But the human is at least taking the photos in this scenario.
Reminds me of the Chernobyl disaster.
The mindset is alien to me. The idea that a person should be locked up for making a joke, but a corporation should have the right to do whatever it likes. It doesn't even seem like it's ever in question just stated like a fact that the wealthy and powerful should have more rights. Perhaps that's the British psyche of meek subservience to the ruling class.

The really funny thing is that poor pleb is branded a "fascist", while the powerful people who came after him are considered brave and valiant freedom fighters for doing so. I mean it would be funny if it wasn't terrifying and Orwellian.
Might be an unpopular opinion but I’m not sure that AppleCare should cover this. What do you think?
What You Want Is What You Get
Someone was arrested for yelling "Who elected him?". Is that considered a profanity now?
Still no. You would need to triple the number of teachers and greatly increase the number of rooms across almost all public schools in America to get those kinds of numbers. There simply aren't enough people, or enough space to do so. The only viable solution is to find a better way of educating children in these larger groups.
Doesn’t seem to have configurable units... They provide today’s temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius (as well as pressure in mb and inches [why mb instead of hPa I don’t know]), but wind speed is stuck in MPH (I prefer m/s) and future dates are always Fahrenheit. Also it is missing detailed forecast for future dates.

Overall pretty lacking in usability compared to dark sky.
https://www.axios.com/2022/02/17/lgbtq-generation-z-gallup here is one source, if you google, there are plenty, many are quite authoritative.

I have kids in k-12, and both them and I observed this trend over the years. There might be a biological reason behind it, further boosted by the culture wind these days.
It's not just coherence and contention costs (though I hadn't considered them before, and they definitely exist).

The real problem is that brain-to-brain transfer of information is really hard. It is both slow and lossy. And the bigger the organization, the more times information has to transfer from one person to another.
Well it might be.

What might make us lose our obesity is regular exercise, building a reasonable amount of muscle mass, eating less food and better food, consuming less alchohol, spending less time sedentary in front of a computer screen, etc.
Good point, I edited it to add a note. I should have warned people but I forgot.

Also, my mother is a doctor, and when I was a teenager (even tweenager) I used to love to read her medical journals and textbooks–it has made me rather immune to the unsightly images they sometimes contain–although, interestingly, images which I can view nonchalantly in a medical context will still freak me out if divorced from that context.
72 people died in the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Why would you do anything apart from express sympathy to the families of the lost?

Why did you post that comment?
I'll say it once more: I don't hold value to opinions which need to place people/things into these absurd good/bad columns. It's naive, especially when one can trivially find opposing examples.

So do what works for you though, I really don't care - that's my point. I care about people who can hold a nuanced view, they're the ones who are going to inform me without some adopted bias coming into play. Deliberately filtering the available information to create a convenient strawman is cherrypicking.

Being able to have a backbone and say a person did good and bad things and articulate clearly what those things are takes courage. Especially when the bandwagon has decided on one way or another.

In this case we're talking about Steve Jobs, so I'll also restate it: People who act like this man was god's gift are similarly holding a view I don't value. I actually said that in my original comment, so you can clearly see my view here. Whether you're choosing to make him out to be all good, or all bad is creating a false image, a lie.

Now perhaps you might be asking? What's so bad about a little lie, why shouldn't a person just round off these people into good or bad boxes and call it a day, isn't that easier.

No, because such behaviours are a slippery slope. Perhaps your own personal life is what someone else would classify as deeply and morally wrong. Then perhaps you'd be the one to hope that others don't throw you into the trash based on the one-line assessment of a stranger.
If only society cared less about preventing avoidable birth defects, you’d be able to buy drugs without such immense burden.
More proprietary software treating their users like criminals as the default.
I've known about AP and the problems it poses since it was published. I was also the release coordinator for the 2015 Ethereum launch, and wondered if we would see any attempts to implement AP on our infrastructure. I spent some time thinking about how to fix it.

I think the answer is a large anonymous fund, a public good, which simply lists anybody who starts an AP server on a public blockchain on their own AP server.

I think the game theory is sound, which says nothing about either morality, reasonableness, or legality.
No, we don't observe it at all, in either community. Halloween is bigger here, and observed by both main communities, it's probably close enough to 5th November that we've just ended up forgetting about Guy Fawkes.

Plus it's taught in school as an English event, and we have enough of our own history going on in the early 1600s.
> You only get linearity if you discover the existing team is less capable than the newly added members

Could you explain your reasoning? This doesn't seem right to me. If you have linearity, this means that every new individual is exactly as productive as all other individuals
I'm a 62, almost 63, year old programmer. Thanks for being open-minded. It's been a great career for me. My first computer was a PDP-8/E and an ASR-33 teletype. I've had the good fortune to see a lot of computer history over the years. I still do embedded systems programming for work and hope to continue to do so for another five years. I've used UNIX most of my career.
Many people love Dark Sky, and Apple simply killed it.
>5000cc truck because airplanes and cruise ships are much worse

Oh boy, you should visit USA sometime. A 5 liter truck is the small one.
There is an important distinction between lossy compression and lossless compression. My information-theoretic argument shows that models couldn't have been losslessly compressed, and the juice analogy implies (but does not show) that there is no obvious way to "decompress" the original data set. I intended that, if both arguments are true, those models can't be a photocopier because they don't contain copiable works at all.
The logic is local. Could patch it out in 30 minutes if they dont have any anti circumventions
This comment thread- and in fact this entire post- is about services, and milking users via services.

While certainly true, I don't see how any of that is relevant in the context of this thread.

How would you measure this with accuracy and cost efficiency?

Is canopy reasonable enough after a certain percent increase (say, 5% increase)? We are talking about percentages of the Earth's dry land, so nontrivial certainly.
This is basically the "load up on tech debt early" play. If you grow you (presumably) have money to fix the debt, if you fail (at business) the code debt is zero (dollars)
Writing tests does not slow me down. It reveals bugs immediately and generally helps me get quality software out faster. Time is gained.
This is a near-meaningless statistic for evaluating the health of the environment, obviously. Maximizing the coverage of intact ecologies supporting biodiversity should be the management objective. The problem here is that you can plant more trees, but the forest is monocropped and doesn't support the rich network of species it did previously. Hence, the importance of conservation (and corridors between protected lands) rather than restoration.
https://weatherflow.com/ is also good. I pay for their iKiteSurf product as a kitesurfer and it works decently well once you understand what "16 knots" at one spot vs another really means out on the water.
There will always be a need for fully rewriting history, e.g. secrets that were accidentally pushed, code that was included in violation of copyright, etc.
Vans sound convenient but are really just another potential problem in the chain. I only use them when the other side insists on some truely inconvenient protocol I don't want to have to set up and maintain a special windows vm just to run a special client for one customer-of-a-customer.
I came to know about this on David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet:

While it is good to know that we have more trees than we did 35 years ago, the biodiversity of coverage has been seriously damaged. This basically means we do not have that massive variety of trees anymore. A lot of trees we grow today are mostly coming out of secondary commercial purposes. I remember a huge forest in Cambodia was cut down and repopulated with nothing but an oil plantation which isn't necessarily a great thing. The ecological imbalance caused was great enough that animal numbers decimated quickly and never returned to the original level.

It might have helped offset some CO2 levels, but again, it had other adverse effects such as requiring huge amounts of water to keep it going.
Umm yeah, just couldn't make it past the whole "post-colonial meta-narrative [for white people]" bit. That's pretty much a good summing up of all the criticism I've read of the film: that because it was made by some relatively-well-off white dude in South Africa, that there can be nothing of value to learn from it.

I'll take the one that required dedication and hard work to obtain never-before-seen footage of animal behavior over a snarky YouTube hot-take criticism any day.
somehow nim just did not get the share of attention, I wonder if it's the name that is not intriguing enough? it's also so close to nix the packager on the naming part.

so nim uses exception handlers for errors, how does that cope with real-time embedded scenarios? I had to use C for that as c++ has the same try-catch concerns for me.
I've heard of companies bringing revenue forward but I've never heard of postponing revenue to a later quarter. I guess it makes sense if you can already know next quarter is going to be bad.
I used Dark Sky, but MyRadar is my favorite.
Ask HN: Do you log your customer activity data?
Do you log your customer activity to any of the log management platforms, like Splunk, Datadog, Papertrail, Sentry, etc?

We do, and most of that data is focused on errors (eg., already registered, bad credit card, etc), although we do about 30% of events like "quote requested", clicked "sign up", etc).

We ended up creating a "sidecar", that processes the event, checks again our CRM in place (Hubspot, Zoho) and either proactively initiates a conversation via email, or sends transaction confirmation/error. (We store templates for different events, and adjusted to different channel - depending which one we know for the customer - like Push, SMS, email).

Would you use something like that?

If not, why not?

Is it necessary to simulate the quantum chemistry of a biological neural network in order to functionally approximate a BNN with an ANN?

A biological systems and fields model for cognition:

Spreading activation in a dynamic graph with cycles and magnitudes ("activation potentials",) that change as neurally-regulated heart-generated electron potentials (and,) reverberate fluidically with intersecting paths. And a partially extra-cerebral induced field which nonlinearly affects the original signal source through local feedback; Representational shift.

So that's neat, but not what I was saying.

This is completely the wrong way to think about division of labour.

We started to figure this out 300 years ago for god's sake.

It's not helpful think about our tasks as a series of bits of work to be accomplished that we hire spigot-workers to do. White collar work is mostly not labour in that sense.

Thinking about your organization like a CPU doing calculations is utterly the wrong analogy.

More like band, playing a song - most tasks have some level of optimal participation you don't want to be below or over, and/or it might be incrementally harder to improve quality depending on variables. And 'talent' usually matters more than anything.

> Vegetables don't do that to you

Apples give me nausea, almost always. No other fruit does this to me, though. My mother-in-law finds the sweet smell of bananas nauseating as well, it makes her want to puke.

> Tell people that is gross? Extremist demonstrably false vegan agenda

It is demonstrably false that meat is disgusting. It's also counterproductive propaganda. Over here most people enjoy asado. It is delicious. Tell them "meat is nauseating" and they will contrast it with their experience, see it's false, and write you off. If the goal with the extremist slogan was to advance a cause, congratulations -- you've failed.

It doesn't work because it's both extremist and false. There are other ways of making the vegan point.

Comparing eating animals to pedophilia is... unwise.
Nice, I made something similar with https://github.com/ip2k/we4ther?files=1 a decade ago. It used to be up at we4ther.com but I hadn't updated the code in a long long time and didn't bother migrating it to my latest server. The free MaxMind GeoIP DB is def good enough to detect location (this was before the browser location API) close enough to give accurate weather.
"I'll just put this over here, with the rest of the fire."
Maybe something was lost in translation but it reads like gibberish to me:

Sound — a particularly manipulative use of the Dolby effect — plays a prominent role, not by anchoring the image, making it more intelligible, but on the contrary, by tearing it open from the inside, by keeping it from becoming a refuge for the audience, by inspiring fear. In other words, no more offscreen. The effect is completely breathtaking.

I've read that several times and I don't know what it means. The closest I can think of is: "The scene opens with a cow chewing grass in a pastoral setting that lulls the viewer into a sense of nostalgic safety. Suddenly, the cow farts and the Dolby surround sound takes over, blowing the listener back in their seat. The fart echo's in a menacing way, destroying the listeners sense of safety"
While Apocalypse Now is the target for Viet Thanh's Nguyen's criticism, I think his point is about Hollywood and the whole genre of Vietnam War films as a whole. America lost the war but won it in memory. Most Americans when thinking of Vietnam only remember the war that was fought (a simple mistake in the American narrative), but it's a beautiful country with thousands of years of history.

No-one should be surprised by this. For years now in the UK, people have been being arrested, fined and even jailed for offences like this (including under one particularly egregious and vague law against “gross offence”).

Up until now, it had been people with, admittedly, rather unpleasant views. Perhaps that is why it had been ignored. But we’re now seeing why ignoring it is dangerous.
These models won’t appear in a vacuum. Models will compete with other models designed to improve and report on other models.
Do you have the exact prompt that essentially generated Vemeer's works? Omitted in the parent, but I also noted that while it is hard to reconcile the idea of human-directed transformative use with ML models, it might be actually easier to verify the models' plagarism---which is not equivalent to copyright infringement but can be a problem by its own---once you have a right prompt as they are decidable.
Point taken for the current average customer. I wrote the above within the context of the article of the "potential" of considering long-term options with alternative housing, and within the context of the thread discussing RV's as an alternative to a broken housing market for younger generations.

Within that narrower scope, pretty much the only way a Z or Millenial young family making good money in our industry but tired of seeing their down payment savings keep getting blown out by rampant dirt real estate asset inflation could reasonably consider going full time RV as an option is to learn a range of maker skills and DIY build their own, or buy a used RV off someone who knows what they are doing like an RV inspector who fixed up design flaws over time to round out the sharp edges.

RV's depreciate with alarming speed so I find the "put your $500K down payment into an RV instead of SV real estate" proposals specious. Probably the only way to blunt that steep depreciation is to build from a Class 7 or 8 chassis that you can resell later to recover much of the cost; even a full-time RV family would not put the kind of load and miles onto that chassis that a normal CDL holder does, so they will hold their value nicely.

But those Heavy Duty Trucks are expensive capex and opex, easily pushing the total build and opex into $1M+ territory in the first 7 years. And most people don't haul around enough mass to justify a Class 7 or 8 chassis, usually a Class 6 is plenty even for a reasonably McMansion'y RV build on a steep mountain climb. I'd only go Class 7 or 8 if I was expecting to haul around my workshop with me, for example.

But like many artifacts in today's world, unless there is a commercial market for it, I find I have to procure what I want by building it myself to satisfy my own quality standards for what are usually my long-term use cases.
