I really appreciate the effort that already went I to this, but I also find it hard to see the usefulness of such a tool if the core functionality just isn’t there yet.
Experience isn't only first-hand though; those studies count. The correct comparison is what experts say vs what actually happens. For example, various proponents of local realism before experimental confirmation of Bell's Theorem.

I do think it's stated a bit strongly though, I'd prefer s/ignorance/fallibility/ for similar reasons to what you're articulating: I grant a higher prior probability to a statement given by a (relevant!) expert. Of course that's relative to the statement itself: an expert might get nonsense from log(-10) to log(-9) but that's still not holding any water.

Rope toys are great for cleaning their teeth continuously if you don't feel like brushing them. You will need to throw the toys away once a year though.
As I have gotten older, simply observing what you're observing has led me to massively cut back on drinking. So you're more or less doing the thing.

One thing I will say-- the "hating yourself for drinking" is probably more of a significant issue than occasionally drinking.

Like, we all do dumb stuff, ranging from leaving something on the stove too long to taking a shitty job. The ability to be compassionate towards ourselves when we do dumb stuff.

I've found that what the Buddhists call "loving kindness meditation", in which you first target other folks (who you agree deserve it) with your empathy, and then gradually learn to apply that same kindness to yourself has been very helpful in my own struggles with being a horrible fuckup (or, if you prefer, a normal human being).

It's okay to fail sometimes. You're human. Just keep trying to do your best and think about why you might have made choices contrary to how you generally understand yourself.

The reason there’s likely no finger joints is because a lot of motion capture data doesn’t include fidelity beyond the wrist.

So if they’re training on the standard corpuses of motion capture data available and even mixing in their own, they likely won’t have fingers to base data on.

Elastic stretching, the one that reverses completely on taking the load off, is the regime where there is a linear relationship between the stress load and the stretching. This should be seen as different from yielding which in mechanical testing is an irreversible change usually signifying a destructive change in the material. So, yes, silk stretches but is not damaged while doing so and the resistance it provides at the time relates to its strength.

Ask HN: Why are most products launched on Mac?
Hi HackerNews!

I wonder why most products are launched on Mac first. I have seen products like Mighty Browser, [Arc Browser](https://arc.net/), etc that were launched for Mac first.

I wonder what makes Mac attractive or convenient for products to be built and launched on.

Thanks!
We wanted to. That's step 1. Sounds like you're there.

What we did: Read This Naked Mind by Annie Grace [2], listen to Andrew Huberman's "What Alcohol Does to Your Body, Brain & Health" [1]
The point is to wade through the material and let it brainwash you.

It's all about how it's bad and a tiny bit neuroscience on why you struggle. Also pointing out over and over how going sober is actually more relaxing, less stressful and how attractive the new habits in the same situations are.
Alcohol just wasn't doing me any favours.

Are you saying that anyone who independently derived the mechanism — before the first machine was made public or the patent diagrams were published — should also be granted the patent?

Once your rival has manufactured and sold their sausage making machine you can take it apart to see how it works. Perhaps you just claim you’ve never done this?
That's one very obtuse way to read into the opinion. And just linking it there, like it's self-evident. Like people don't debate the meaning of supreme court opinions.
I don't have a problem with Pocket qua Pocket. I didn't even have an issue with the "recommended stories" that rolled out years ago. But when I just tried FF I was appalled by the spammy "stories" all over the recommended stories section.

I'm sorry, but credit card advertisements are not stories. For the first time ever, I turned off the Pocket section, which means that instead of generating some revenue from having clicked on stories in the past, I will now generate no revenue because I won't see this section at all.

Get rid of software that doesn't have to be an online service, for one. This cuts 90% of incidents.

Then, all the "common sense" stuff: encourage use of password managers to discourage password re-use, having actual humans providing actual customer support when suspicious activity is flagged, companies educating about safe practices like banks do now (e.g. always call back to a trusted number), spam prevention at the ISP level, SSO authentication, VPN ...

At the very least there must be better ways to do two-factor authentication than what is the standard default.

And to top it all off, on many services, if you cant get all that to work, all you need is your "memorable word". *facepalm*
For dental caries, 6-10 grams per day [1]. Most adults can tolerate 40g.

Diarrhea is a concern at 45g for children and 100g for adults. If you introduce it gradually into your diet, it should not be a problem.

> I am here to remind everyone that the single most important oral hygiene measure is to brush your teeth after each meal.

Brushing your teeth right after is actually harmful for your teeth.

Your outer layer of your teeth get softer after contact with most foods. It takes a while (40+ minutes) for your spit to harden them again.
So the brushing will wear this outer layer down if you're always doing it right after the meal.
I had a daughter. My dad was a smoker and when he gave up smoking he took up drinking. Between him and My mum They drank a cask of wine every 2 days. One day my dad got drunk and threw a glass at my mum, then fell down the stairs cutting his leg open and stumbled to bed. The next morning he woke up with blood everywhere and went up stairs, asked my mum what happened to her face. He had no recollection of what happened. (He gave up drinking for a long time, now he might have a beer on the weekend after mowing the lawn but he doesn’t drink anymore)

I enjoyed drinking especially when I lived in australia. Start drinking at Friday noon, end up at the pub and casino.

When my wife got pregnant I more or less gave up drinking. I didn’t want to end up like my dad. After not drinking for the duration of the pregnancy I kinda lost the desire to drink.

I some times have a cider or beer. Only 1 and that’s it. I just drink soda or water. And don’t cave to any peer pressure because my daughters are more important to me than what someone else thinks.
Ok. Sold!!! That is awesome.

This is much needed. Even for a software engineer like me, it was quite cumbersome to use Stable Diffusion locally without such an UI.

I feel like there's just so much to improve though. Maybe SD is the definitive proof that one single feature can trickle down into many others just by adding good UI on top of it.

Joe Biden said last Thursday the risk of nuclear Armageddon is the highest it has been for 60 years. Advocating for a deescalation of the conflict in Ukraine and a diplomatic end to the war seems like an easy way to lessen the probability of nuclear bomb being dropped.
Amazingly my story is almost exactly like yours!

The only small difference in the end for me was to stop counting entirely at some point. I realized that at that point counting was almost counterproductive for me. I feel like counting sort of gives a negative hint to the psyche that I’m missing something from my life for N years now

Today I can’t even tell how many years it has been. It’s a bit of a blur. More than 15 probably. But I don’t miss it a single but.

They’d have to use something that wasn’t a weird proprietary language that only cross compiles to C++ (!) for that to be a thing.

Whether they like C++ or not, no one’s going to want that generated C++ output as a basis for source code, and you’re not going to use the weird single source compiler either.
There's a difference between not drinking and not being a drinker. If you are able to create an association in your mind between "me" and "not a drinker" it will make it easier over time to reject a drink, either when your friends or colleagues offer one or when you yourself offer one to you.

Do you want a drink? No, I'm not someone who drinks.

This technique is not specific to alcohol, I used it to stop smoking many years ago. I believe it has roots in Buddhism. The idea is to dissociate the "I" with the habit that you want to get rid of.

I still drink on occasion but now I can go months without when I used to drink 3-4 nights a week. Sometimes I'd put down a 6 pack on those nights.

Honestly, I got tired of being tired. LFPs were normal but my cholesterol and stuff was off indicating that I was doing some kind of metabolic damage. I decided to say "fuck it" and told myself I'd do exactly one week of not drinking. The first weekend I woke up sober I was bored but I noticed that I wasn't tired, or extremely hungry, or anything. I just felt right.

Then I kept that feeling up, setting challenges along the way. "Use my sober time to my advantage". Improved blood work dramatically (back to normal), lost weight, and kept a bunch of good habits. Now, occasionally I'll indulge if I'm out or being social, but I've basically all but stopped drinking on anything remotely near as often as I did. I discovered a lot about myself by reflecting on what made me drink so much (I was much more social drunk) and how I can remedy that.

What works for me may not work for you. AA doesn't work for people, a lot of techniques don't work for people. There's no magic pill. You need to have a reason to do it, and a reason to stick with it. Something you can wake up every morning and remind yourself. Moreover, accept you will slip. It's not an end to your sobriety despite how AA treats it. You are human, what matters is that you learned from your slip and try your best not to do it again. To get to the point I am at I had go cold turkey for a year, and then slowly introduce it back and test myself. If I ever even come close to even two days a week now I'm back on the sober train for another year.

As for the experience of getting sober I never had to do DTs or anything. Though I did drink a lot. I found the first two weeks to be hardest, then the first two months, and then it got to be easy after that. In the first 2 weeks to 2 months you will face all sorts of challenges like having to cope with going to places you usually drink and not drinking, etc. If you can make it two months you have a good chance of sticking to it.

There is the false connection linking the Military with People. It is deliberately engineered to prevent criticism of the military.

There is also the idea that the "military" are not to blame for wars, wars are created by politicians not the military. The truth is of course that generals want to go to war because it keeps their budget allocation high.

These myths make it hard to both support Joe who's back from the war, and yet be anti the war in the first place. It's hard to mention that the overall military budget seems like a lot, without sounding like you're anti-joe.

Even something as simple as "thank you for your service" is in some ways a propoganda. To ask an ex serviceman about the point of the Afgan war, to ask them if 100 000 dead Afghans makes up for 3000 on 9/11, to question the logic of signing up to serve in an army currently fighting an unjust war, would seem antagonistic.

To question how Afghanistan is different to Ukraine would be unthinkable. [1]

In truth one can (and should) support veterans, but perhaps can also raise questions about the scale of US military spending, and question the wisdom of having an enormous standing military which needs to get involved in conflicts of dubious value, simply to justify its own existance.

[1] they are of course very different in a lot of ways, but in effect are the same in more ways we'd care to admit.
I love and prefer Java & Static languages too, however saying it cannot happen in a static language is a bit of stretch. The recent Log4j vulnerability and countless Jackson vulnerabilities are examples of how a simple deserialiation can gone wrong.

Jackson can accept "@class": "com.package.something.Class" which might be class that executes commands on constructor, there is a huge denylist to keep you safe when you use that feature. Almost similar to what Gitlab have here.

As sarcastic as this is, you still end up with the same just less intensity. If statistics and estimation are involved, this proposed happiness index will leave some behind and end up with everybody the same.
I'm sorry that may not be helpful, but I simply did. Alcohol tastes terrible and I never felt the urge to not be able to think properly. I like being in control. It felt pointless to spend money to damage my cognition, inhibit my risk-taking mechanisms, and feel awful the next day.

For me not to even get started, however, it was helpful to get into exercising as I was growing up. It was one extra motivator not to drink. I enjoyed exercising more than I enjoyed any possible "social benefit" of drinking.

Pretty sure the act of assassination is considered a war crime, and no modern, civilised nation would start a war with war crime.

Under Article 8(2)(b)(xi) of the 1998 ICC Statute, “[k]illing or wounding treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army” is a war crime in international armed conflicts.

There is a reason why rules of engagement were created, to minimise civilian casualty, and to reduce suffering for all parties involved.
> Are you saying that anyone who independently derived the mechanism — before the first machine was made public or the patent diagrams were published — should also be granted the patent?

You seem incredulous that a "first to invent" system could work, but US moved away from that system less than a decade ago.

Edit: Never mind the first post was about independent derivations. That's not the same thing. My mistake.
You’re saying, in so many words, the more similar people are to each other the happier they are. This is the definition of sheeple.

Well I mean I didn’t have an Ayahuasca problem but yes the concept is pretty ironic isn’t it.
3 things stand out to me in your description, based on similar experiences of my own (though not with drinking):

- It does not seem entirely clear to me why you want to stop, other than a vague idea that you might be better off that way. Figure out why first. How does not drinking make you a better person, concretely? Write that down. Share it with other people. Live your life around those important ideas. Make them a part of who you are.

- Stop being hard on yourself. It will only make the problem worse. We all make mistakes. Acknowledge it, try to figure out what caused it, fix the causes as close to the root as possible, and move on. Not drinking isn't a goal you fulfill and then you've done it. Not drinking is a process that you partake in every day. Just because you didn't one day does not diminish the value of doing so in the next 1, 2, 7, 30 days.

- Get external support with the two things above. Talk to a therapist or other people in your situation. When you're going in your old ruts, it's very hard to create change. It takes a lot of persistent work. It's helpful to have someone else sometimes remind you of why you are doing it, when you forget yourself.
Same here. Two beers or more (or 1-2 glasses of wine) affects my sleep and stomach in a bad way, especially as I have gotten older (40s).

I started climbing with my son a few evenings a week and felt that even just a bit of wine for dinner affected recovery. Nowadays I rarely drink but still enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, maybe once a month.
The Google article links to the Army CIO’s post on this. He responded to a similar comment with the following

“Google Workspace does not replace Army 365. The Army has the world's largest Office 365 implementation with over a million users. This capability serves a niche user base with a unique set of requirements and complements our enterprise capability through Army 365. This is why we had the endorsement and support of the DOD CIO.”

Also, the current vision is to serve people with very limited needs (recruits in basic training is a prominent example). Seems like a heck of a negotiation lever though.

There are known patents on Opus held by Xiph.org, Broadcom and Microsoft, all made freely available. But as per https://opus-codec.org/license/ if you try patent litigation against anyone, your license to use any of these free patents is revoked.

So there's not many ways this pool can work. A company can only join it if they want to give up on ever using Opus themselves.

No idea if following would be of use to you. Just thoughts based on my own experience.

If you do not have strong dependence - be aware of not liking side effects of alcohol, and disassociate good time with friends from consuming alcohol.

If you have bad memories about yourself being drunk - maybe idea of disliking yourself that is drunk would be of use (and being aware of that dislike at the moment when you decide if you are going to drink that first bottle of beer that evening or not.

If you are ok with just rarely drinking some small amount of alcohol - do not obsess/fixate on idea of not drinking ever.
It will likely be easier to not drink alcohol if this topic is not tangled with internal conflicts and bunch of feelings/emotions.
Whilst that's a valid point of view, it needs to be balanced against good old "don't reinvent the wheel."

I'm not quite sure how I would marry those two concepts.
