The fact that it found two independent results, that digestive response is diminished AND nutrient absorption was diminished, leads me to believe the study's design was to focus on alternative meat deficiencies rather than qualitatively compare the two.

In fact, the way the summary reads to me, it seems like they may just be cleverly restating that real meat is harder to digest.

Used as a Wasm module! In some ways the web is becoming more opaque. Is this the future then, a hodgepodge of binaries doing things behind the scenes? Though in this case it happens to be OSS, and it may well be a moot point -- backend is already a blackbox to the enduser, now parts of frontend are blackboxes. The practical implication is probably just that some measure of customizability is gone.
There are AS/400s that run inventory management type stuff in shops and warehouses that probably haven't been touched in 30-40 years. I'm serious, probably buried under 10 pounds of dust and grease and trash and papers and they just run - they are just sucking down electricity and pumping out data to 5250 terminals over cables.

Granted whatever is running on them could probably run on a Raspberry Pi, but the rewrite would be a 2 million dollar contract by IBM Global Services and the Raspberry Pi would die every 2 years.
> Shouldn’t it be possible to prevent these players from coming back?

Just make a mechanism to slow down account generation. CD keys were good for this. It doesn't matter that it's not fool proof, it still works since you have less chance of running into a freshly made smurf or cheater account in the lowest rank. Phone does the same thing, however phone is intrusive and a bad solution. Smurf is even less of a problem than a cheater btw.

> Or how about that person who wants to shoot their opponent IRL just because they’re a bad sport? Shouldn’t it be possible to report them and get them banned permanently?

Umm, wtf? This was just an example and no they shouldn't be banned at all for that. That's also a good 50%-90% of any game's userbase.

> When a game is free to play like OW2, all of these things which are already huge problems for the OW1 player base become even worse because there’s no cost barrier to entry.

Free 2 play games are literally a scam. I don't want a game that has skins and nonsense. In fact, I take more issue to having to learn what cosmetic skins mean what (for instance in a class based game, you have to memorize each skin of a class, and for team based, some skins are the wrong color, like in Splitgate), than the perceived problems of this thread. I don't care what Overwatch does, I care about the fact that whatever nonsense they do will be normalized in the rest of the industry to the point where devs can't even argue with it.

Thinking on Paper – a collection of building blocks
The following building blocks for thinking on paper could be used on their own, but their combination seems much stronger to me.

Building block 1: Use a sheet layout with smallish boxes, a) to form manageable "units of thinking" that can be concatenated box by box and step by step, and b) to trigger frequent refocusings on the most relevant aspects in the process of thinking.

Building block 2: Use thinking tools to generate content in those boxes, with tools for reflection being especially useful.

Building block 3: For the boxes, choose from a variety of note-taking elements, notably mind maps.

Building block 4: Work persistently over a series of sheets.

Funny, because I'm a meat eater and I can't stand the government interference in making meat artificially cheap through subsidies when it is clearly the immoral and environment-hurting food option.

Headline is misleading. And same applies to the text. e.g. 928 vs. 900 difference is around 3% (assuming benchmark scores scale linearly) and 18,453 vs. 16,000 difference is around 15%. At least 15% isn't "runs circles around" kind of situation.
But again. The VC industry is biased on historical outcomes which itself is biased on historical outcomes. So what the VC industry does or has done is not a relevant source of objective data.

I do agree that solo founders should probably find a co-founder in order to raise but that has nothing to do with potential success and everything to do with optimising for what VCs expect.
Nice find! So it was trained with dreamstime images.

Do the output images come with licensing and copyright images, so that dreamstime can be compensated for downstream commercial use?

The discussion is ridiculous to begin with. Nutritional sciences can't find any consensus within itself, but somehow a bunch of upper middle class people are enlightened when they decide to give half a damn about their diets and where their food is coming from, disregarding any notion of their current position in life to boot. Let alone extensive experimentation.

Meanwhile the statistics are all over the place.
It also costs us the much better solution of just making meat production better. There are multiple small projects that appear to be raising meat in a carbon net sequestering manner because doing stuff like intensive but brief with multiweek regrowth phases appears to dump a ton of carbon Into the soil, creating more high quality soil. They really need to be expanding those to the whole meat industry, not getting rid of meat. There is this synergistic spot in ag for meat production that likely increases plant yields while giving animals wonderful living conditions while sequestering carbon in a much less fire prone way than growing trees that we arent even really talking about right now.

Except that there is no objective evidence that being a solo founder is harder.
Unless I’m misunderstanding it, what this study apparently shows is that when a mouse eats unhealthy foods for some time, digestive function changes. An eye-opening result indeed.

Let’s take ‘a really big bank’ (you know who); I know tons of people there, with very high paying jobs, who do absolutely nothing that cannot be replaced by a few lines of Python. For many years. You don’t need wfh to automate all these people, and their managers away. Yet this has been true for at least a couple of decades and these people are in demand and get hired for serious amounts of money all the time. Same at other (big) banks. You think this is going to end soon? I see 0 moves towards that; at one team I know they just hired yet another manager (who manages over people who fill spreadsheets from emails and mail them out later) because the current managers felt they were overworked, so now they have 1 managers per 3 people. They can cut out the entire department since at least 2012 but probably since 2002.

Not having ever used one of these E/P mixed cores CPUs I am curious to know if they are painless to use (especially under Linux). Does it ever happen that processes that should run on E cores run on P cores or viceversa? Do you have to somehow specify affinity in executables or there's some black magic that figures out automatically?

Any insights in this regard would be greatly appreciated as I am in need to change my desktop and I'm really curious regarding these 13xxx CPUs.

It's already beginning. This is what the farmer protests (barely covered in the US) in the Netherlands are about. Their government is forcing thousands of cattle farms out of business.
> no doubt with government mandates coming

> Obviously this is a prelude to making meat a scarce product, cows being dangerous to the environment apparently, so people will be forced to eat artificial, human-designed, frankenfoods

I've seen this conspiracy mentioned before on the internet, can you give me a good source that led you to believe this?

I can't imagine any reasonable world where there would be any real political will for a government to mandate the replacement of meat.

I could imagine subsides similar to what the meat production industry already receives, but I can't imagine any mandates.

I could also imagine the occasional far left politician call for that some level of reduction in meat production, but I don't believe the US government would ever have the will to force people to eat meat alternatives

My experience with Jitsi Meet has been quite bad. My previous employer was a cheapskate, and they self-hosted Jitsi Meet. Random disconnections and instability were pretty much a daily occurrence, some people were disconnected every few seconds.

The original article title seems misleading: COVID didn't push an influenza variant to extinction. Public health practices pushed during the 2020-21 flu season due to the concurrent COVID pandemic did it.

Masking, social distancing, hand washing and avoiding crowds made that particular flu season very light. This lines up with my personal experience, I haven't had even a head cold in maybe 3 years now.

Why are certain political factions so opposed to public health measures? They seem to work.
I would love to know what happened in these companies that failed after someone bought it then ploughed tons of money into them.

Having just left one, the core reason for the failure was a tech plan forced upon two companies that was so unrealistic it was always going to fail. A bit of me thinks it's the problem was the investor for setting up a terrible plan. But realistically, I think it's more the management of the two companies inability to explain to a growth board that you can't rewrite a 7-year application in 3-months.

Original Plan: Migrate extra features and data over to new platform 3-months. If it's just a migration it's a bad timeline but overal not a bad plan. Problem was, it was a rewrite. The new platform didn't have the core features.

3-months pass: The growth board invests more money increases time and focuses everyone to this. While everyone keeps calling it a migration.

Another 3-months pass: The growth board invests even more money, increases the dev team, hires consultants who have help with such programs in the past.

Another 6-months pass: Still not delivered. Patence is getting thin. This was meant to be a 3-month project and it's been a year and we're not there. Extra time given with being features removed from scope. Delivery date announced to partners.

Another 3-months pass: Delivery date coming up, announcements made they will migrate on the deadline.

1-week before delivery: Team find out core functionality still doesn't exist. Announce another 3-4 month delay. Patience getting very thin.

Next deadline: They release a half finished product because management is going to get fired if they don't.

Result: Investor realises everything has gone wrong. After about €50-100 million investment Tries to sell company for €400 million. Drops price to €200 million. Sells for €75 million while clearing debt. Announces €50 million gain.

While the pressure from the owning company did cause issues, the original issue comes from the fact someone let them think it would originally be a 3-month project. This is not to mention that developers were telling the company management these deadlines couldn't be met, including 6-weeks before the first announced delivery date yet they continued to try and go forward until they realised at the last minute they couldn't meet the deadline. Every time it was at the last minute they would announce the deadline couldn't be met. Every 3-4 months the teams were working toward deliverying on a deadline.

> I hear of farmers having to keep cows in sheds to protect orchids

Sounds more like the government intervention here is actually to protect wild flowers. The farmer in this story has then concluded it's easier/cheaper to do that by keeping the cows in the shed than to fence off the field.

Going for a walk in the countryside near me, you know, in the real world, cows are often outside in fenced fields.

I love them as an idea. I wish the Barcelona local government would understand the simple concept of contraflow bike lanes on one-way streets.

Instead they keep building more and more two-lane cycle paths on either side of one-way streets, fully segregating bicycle traffic from motor traffic. While they surely believe that makes it even safer for cyclists, in my opinion it is a terrible (and less safe) design for multiple reasons.

Firstly, it continues to encourage the idea that cyclists are second-class parts of urban traffic, who may use the streets when by the benevolent grace of the Barcelona local authority they have been provided with their own mini-street on certain grown-up car streets.

Secondly, having to divide the dedicated bicycle space in two, one for each direction of traffic, increases the risk of bike collisions and makes overtaking slow cyclists more of a hassle.

Thirdly, it often makes cycling from A to B harder than driving if your route happens to follow the "standard" direction of the one way street and you need to make a turn to the side opposite the side where the cycle lane happens to be. This forces you to cross the ordinary one-way motor traffic lane, which you wish you were using in the first place, with the added difficulty that the cars are coming to you from behind.

Finally, it really messes up with the crucial factor of predictability in road safety. So many dual-lane cycle paths on arbitrary sides of one-way streets make each intersection have its own personality, and you'd better hope the drivers you'll encounter are locals who know to expect surprise bicycles sprouting out in the opposite direction on their right-hand side. While one could argue that contraflow lanes also mess with predictability they do not, for the simple fact that traffic continues to follow the standard logic of circulating on the right of the road.

My favorite quote from Reinhold Messner who soloed Everest, did it without supplemental O2, etc...

Outside of Everest itself, I'm not sure there is much that can compare except other climbs at similar altitudes.

Okay but that completely misses the point of what they were communicating.

If you're skeptical about the communication that's one thing, but the thing you're offering is a substitute is not remotely equivalent.

My understanding is that whales can interpret echoes of their own signals and read them as a map of physical features around them, and can exchange these signals with each other.

Linguistic abstraction is a different type of thing altogether, and I don't know what point would served by going up to whales and telling them that they "don't need" the form of communication they actually use.

It's mostly that Microsoft and Apple invest a lot of money in their IDEs to attract and retain development talent for the platforms that support the core of their business.

- In CLIs the function (what the software does) is more important than the presentation, in GUIs the usability expectations are higher.

- GUIs need constant cosmetic updates over the years to keep up with design fads

- GUIs in general require more work and a good eye to be considered useful

Linux market dynamics does not have such a "generous" vendor that might recoup their IDE development costs by selling other stuff.

- Historically, the Linux user base has been smaller

- GUIs are seen with contempt by a small but influent portion of the Linux crowd

- Linux users are less willing to pay for software because so much is available for free

Aside from consuming a ton of resources when screen sharing, my experience with Jitsi meet has been very good. It consumes two cores of my 5900X (1 for the Firefox process, and another for some system process I don’t recall exactly) but it works. This was with sharing a 4K screen.

I have run jitsi on cheap VMs and it worked decently. But you need quite some cores to serve all the traffic. Ultimately I ended up having as many 2-4core VMs as I had concurrent calls.
