Beyond Meat is a lot worse than Impossible Burger. They're losing to someone in their same vertical who has a superior product.

Unless you are a strict vegan, in which case, you can't eat Impossible Burgers. [0]

Not to be mean, but from my reading this needs Heroku free tier which no longer exists? I am very sorry if I got that wrong.
I'm not sure where you guys are coming from, but the top officials of China acknowledges this is an issue. Are you saying that they are wrong and that China doesn't have a huge problem with corrupt officials? Or why else are you questioning these things?

They probably are peering locally, just not publicly.

In Germany the largest ISP Deutsche Telekom is not peering publicly in any meaningful manner. To get access to their customers you need to pay them a lot of money and connect to their network at some remote locations. It's the reason why YouTube was laggy for years for the majority of German customers until Google finally caved.
It runs on your local machine through an intermediary compilation unit, so I think in comparison to a cluster the answer is “poorly”. This is for quickly spinning up an analysis without any of the traditional hosting mechanisms (virtualenvs, docker, etc).

I think of it as a fantastic teaching tool where getting a newbie’s environment configured would otherwise be painful. With this tool, you can share a link and have people coding in moments.
> Google is successfully ignored China's request

Which request? Android's version of AirDrop, "Nearby Share" is disabled in China [1].

> even though their Pixel uses many Chinese parts and some are made in China, because they don't service in China.

Google is an ad company. Only 5 million Pixel 6 sold in the first 6 months [2]. It's just a few percent of their income. Nobody would notice if they decide to stop selling the Pixel line, worldwide.

Apple is a hardware company, with around 50% of their income from iPhones [3]. It's a very different context. Again, they appear to building speed to move out, and like the previous reference shows, that's all any of these established companies can do in the short term: build speed.

I'm intrigued about your research and would love to hear more. I'm a physician interested the effect of for-profit care on health care and outcomes.

As an example, we showed that for-profit dialysis facilities in the US have about a 7% higher mortality rate. We did a meta-analysis and every study barring one found higher mortality in for-profit dialysis facilities. Other studies suggest one reason is lower referral rates for kidney transplantation. Higher mortality has also been shown in for profit hospitals.
When you push “meat” made of soy, not not helping the narrative. Vegetarians are “pussies” to begin with and you pile on that stereotype with “soy boy”. It doesn’t stand a chance.
Would that be the same thing I’d find in tofu? Because tofu doesn’t upset my stomach at all.
But they offered to do it, wtf? Not being asked.
Do you have any obligation to ensure it’s disposed of properly by that company?

Can I just pay the homeless guy on the street $1MM to my waste? What if he sets up an LLC?
I think it's actually important for you to see all the sick shit. I think it's worth rubbing your nose in it.

It's amazing how many technologists have
a strong preference for truth in so many areas, but choose not understanding things they find disgusting and why they find them disgusting.
> It's possible for programmers to get massive speedups by re-architecting their code to make better use of the CPU caches or avoid branch mispredictions

Sure, but they can, and do, do that just as well in Java as they could in C or assembly.
What it’s like to live with brain fog
I think they both contain methylcellulose, which is considered benign but not digestible. In my experience it doesn’t cause major discomfort, but a mildly off putting sensation in my GI tract for a few hours. It might be something else, but it seems likely after narrowing things down for a while.
I have no idea what goes into making these plant-based meats, but I vaguely remember that for Impossible Foods specifically, that they had to do a lot of experimentation and genetic engineering of a yeast to make their product. I think that's part of the reason why they have to charge so much.
I envision it not as a configurable app, but instead each approach to algorithmic feeds is a separate app/website. All the apps have all the underlying fediverse/activitypub data available for them to serve up, but each has a different approach to curating content. Users would just choose the type of experience they want by choosing different apps/websites.
The word comes from Roman Latin because their pipes were mostly made from lead, and even had standardized fitting/valve sizes, etc.

Not if a few docent different "special cases" all can use the same special hardware instead of a few docent different hardwares.

And the thing with a lot of this "special cases" is that while most code doesn't write them a lot of systems have them running somewhere.
Recognize two truths: opportunities are all around you, as long as you are interacting with and learning from people. And "getting rich" is as much a matter of luck as anything.

What this means is that you haven't missed the boat in any permanent sense. You've missed a couple of specific boats, is all. Others are always coming down the river.

It also means that you haven't failed. Every successful person I've ever met can talk all night long about the many times they've failed. But all others see is the few times they succeeded. Recognize that you're rolling dice and the more times you roll, the better the odds that one will hit. You've only failed when you give up entirely.

But it can be despiriting sometimes. What I do then is to get a nice, normal job for a while. That gives psychic relief, a chance to meet more people (opening the door to unexpected future opportunities), and stash money away into what I call my "bankroll" -- seed money for next venture once I've decided what that will be.
Jupyter Notebooks was the start (of things Jupyter)

Then people said it can be tough for people who want to do data analysis to have to figure out installing python locally and getting everything set up to run notebooks just to open a web browser, so JupyterHub was created so that Data Analyst types didn’t have to worry about any of that, they could just open a web browser and work (also running on a server lets you have a beefy server to connect to).

JupyterLab is the next version of Jupyter Notebooks, separating some of the concerns on the back end and giving a bit of a different interface on the front end.
The biggest I've found is GPT-J (EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B), which has a model size comparable to GPT-3 Curie, but the outputs have been very weak compared to what I'm seeing people do with GPT-3 Da Vinci. The outputs feel like GPT-2 quality. I'm probably using it wrong, or maybe there are better BART models published that I don't know about?

> Write a brief post explaining how GPT-J is as capable as GPT-3 Curie and GPT-2, but not as good as GPT-3 Da Vinci. GPT-J ia a new generation of GPT-3 Curie and GPT-2. It is a new generation of GPT-3 Curie and GPT-2. It is a new generation of GPT-3 Curie and GPT-2. sentence repeats

Some people are too, too risk averse. They subconsciously avoid, not just pain, but the possibility of discomfort. It's not just one or two actions - it's their filter that they see the world through.

Pain avoidance is often disguised as disinterest, but really it's just a cost function to minimize the possibility of feeling embarrassment, awkwardness, discomfort, heated discussion, or emotional distress. Sometimes this is personality related; other times, this is a result of an aggressive, hurtful, or manipulative upbringing.

I have a friend like this and he is very hard to be friends with. He hit this point where he was stuck in an unhappy life situation (have few good friends, can't find love, etc) but vehemently opposed anything slightly uncomfortable that will move him from his unhappy cage.

What's happening subconsciously is a deep seated trauma/fear freezing him in place. For my friend, he was bullied as a kid, and his parents also were emotionally angry and abusive. He grew up with the fear that out of nowhere, a seemingly trivial sentence or action could send him into a world of confusion and hurt.

Today, meeting new people and sharing emotions is a giant minefield to him. But most people just see him as stubborn, whiny, hard to socialize with and doesn't listen to advice.

But it's hard to be his friend not because of his awkward socials but because he complains about his distress so much but doesn't do anything about it... for years. As someone who wants to solve problems and make progress, it is very frustrating to see him move so slowly.

He is very, very slow to go out from his comfort zone, even just a little bit.
VLAs can be declared in a single statement, but they cannot be initialized in C17 (6.7.9):

> The type of the entity to be initialized shall be an array of unknown size or a complete object type that is not a variable length array type.

Curiously, C23 actually seems to break the O(1) rule, by allowing VLAs to be initialized with an empty initializer:

int arr[n] = {};

GCC generates a memset call (https://godbolt.org/z/5v31bKs5a) to fill the array with zeros.
For some people, meat tastes good, but they want to reduce meat intake or remove it from their diet for health or environmental reasons. The status of 'be a vegetarian' is irrelevant to the material effect.
The play was to be well positioned when the big meat brands (think McDonald's) eventually make the switch which they theorized will have to happen both because of climate change and because they'll have a cheaper, less resource intense substitute.

It's really the same play as any technology, the first generation jumps the gun and strikes too early given their ambitions.

But someone's gotta be the Yahoo! It's a necessary step in the path.
In India, which has the world's largest vegetarian population, there seems to still be a rapid expansion of fast-food burger restaurants taking place (e.g. https://www.burgersinghonline.com/menu). They cater to this large demographic with low-cost burgers where the meat patty is replaced with a range of existing Indian foods (deep fried cottage cheese, potatoes with mixed vegetables and spices, etc).

A single Beyond Meat patty at the U.S. supermarket price is equivalent to the Indian rupee price of ~4 full vegetarian burgers at Burger Singh (the Indian BK).
No one is getting rich in the next two years. I feel similar to you. I missed many opportunities. I also had some hits and spent a lot of my time working on the “wrong” things.

If you feel really bad just remember it’s everyone. No one is hitting grand slam home runs right now. It may be years until we see that market again.

I thought with each move I would be in an ideal position to succeed and every time, something changed.

My experience is that the “carrot” always moved or doesn’t turn out the way I thought.

That product I thought would be a career game changer? Cancelled and everyone laid off.

I joined one company thinking it would IPO and then five years later and a lot of lying it still hasn’t.

I joined a AAA faang and made a ton of money for a little while then realized I wasn’t learning anything and boxed in, surrounded by lifers who were stagnant in their careers with no chance of upward movement.

However, you have to change your mindset for this market. The boom time is faded. If you missed it, you missed it.

This is the time to position yourself to maximize your skills and learning. You have two years to get in the right place.

Money happens very fast and randomly is my experience. If you join an ultra elite team the chances are way higher imo.

Now I’m entirely focused on my personal skills and charisma. I’m working entirely on my inner game now. I am going to maximize my learning the next two years.

And I am working on practicing becoming positive and energetic and getting in shape.

I don’t think I’ll ever afford to retire. Which maybe is completely wrong.

Now I’m starting to look at my life as a work of art like Rick Rubin. Rick never had a career in mind he just loved working on music and with artists. He tried every genre and made hit records across the board.

Maybe it’s a better mindset of just seeing your work as a series of records you are putting out. Some will be good and some bad.

The myth that young people know more about the internet just because they grew up with it needs to die. It's just not true.

The average teen doesn't know more about technology than the average boomer does. Even a 2 y/o knows how to handle a smartphone and use apps, it's nothing special anymore.
Depends on the tech people, speaking as current product management. Some were wonderful, interested in customers and business, and added a lot to my knowledge (and I hope theirs too). Some were horrible, seeming only to care about their language/tool cult de jour and to hell with the resultant product/business.
> will they still be all-in on founders willing to unsustainably burn money just to incrementally boost the probability of growth

From some previous experience, outside of crypto - which was DIFFERENT™ - this already started changing in 2019 or so. Softbank was one of the most infamous players, and when they started to pull back, so did some others.

Not that there aren't still some "huh"-inducing things - like the new thing from the WeWork guy - but it seems a bit saner-paced on the ground, and now even crypto will get its reckoning.
I was saying that having /v2/ in the URL implies all of the endpoints will have a /v2/ and that they will be part of a matched set. Having it in the header makes for having version numbers that are targeted at each specific endpoint without making it look like the others are affected.

Here specifically I was suggesting that the /v2/ in the URL would make people using the API more likely to set the /v2/ in their app to use it across all calls rather than different per endpoint versions.

It looks like the calls are in the version rather than the version being in the calls.

Not that I expect this to have fantastic performance, but I think your benchmark is cheating. Locally hosted Jupyter is going to have significant overhead compared to a straight Python interpreter.

Have you considered buying whole or fractional beef? In most places it's not hard to find small farms that will sell you a quarter, half, or whole steer that was raised in open pasture. You'll need a chest freezer, but it doesn't cost much more than supermarket beef.

If you don't know where to start, look for 4H programs. You could literally buy and eat some kid's loved school project. No cruelty required.
Sure, but if you want to do a demo or have students do something quick, it's a great start
Makes sense to me. I'm a now 7 year vegetarian and I've tried somewhere between most and all of the meatless options I've encountered in restaurants and at grocery stores. I eat probably 15-20 meals a week based around meatless burgers, bacon, chicken, steak, sausage, etc.

In that time (well, 2020-present) we've gone from having Beyond burgers constantly in the fridge + inclusion in a meal every few days, and seeking out restaurants that have them, to completely avoiding them. I cannot tell if the flavor has actually changed or my family has become too accustomed to alternatives-- Impossible is king to us and I'll happily take Gardein or even Boca options over Beyond now, althought I'll happily take a Beyond patty over the average black bean burger, my original standard, back before the Brave New Meatless Times (black beans feature heavily in my diet still, but not on bread :).

It's worth noting their sausage- and chicken-type products are really quite excellent. But the standard bearer, the burger patty, doesn't compete these days, IMO.
So where is the due diligence that the VCs talk so much about, especially in the case with FTX, which supposedly didn’t have any appropriate financial management?
There’s levels to the hamburgers.

That’s the issue here, veggie folks think meat tastes gross and everyone who eats it is evil and carnivores think vegetables taste gross and vegans are just NPC henchmen for the Illuminati

Hilarity ensues. Thus, beyond burger.
Me too (regarding the best veggie burgers) — the best I’ve had were nothing like meat burgers, but were awesome nonetheless.

One is in a cookbook called “the vegan Korean”, and it’s a legitimately memorable food experience. I’d much rather find that at a restaurant than some kind of run-of-the-mill faux meat burger.

Exactly, in another forum someone was complaining the SpaceX was getting all the business and things should go back to the old rocket companies. For some reason he did not see the reason those companies was losing business was because they were not delivering results at a reasonable cost.
i really want to say this.

there is chinese demand for... sea cucumbers...Nostoc flagelliforme..i dunno...all kinds of crab and lobster...shark's fin? that they are prepared to pay good money for..

why are the lab grown food firms trying to compete against the domestic chicken?
why not lab grown shark's fin or sea cucumber?
An excellent choice. Remember to "Play this music loud or not at all" (from the liner)
Absolutely, thank you.
I don't think we're actually in disagreement here. It looks like I misread the parent comment to be claiming that fixed-size array assignment ought to be considered O(N), when no such claim is made.
It's definitely a bit of what-goes-around-comes-around - here we're nostalgic for rows and rows of menus and buttons; but Microsoft famously tried to "fix" the menu-and-toolbar "bloat" with the Ribbon, after all, since tons of people had NO IDEA how to deal with all those menus and buttons. "Go through every menu and click every button" was never super discoverable if you're in a hurry. And hell, there are still people who will tell you you're doing it wrong if you're using the UI instead of using Vim/Emacs and a million keyboard shortcuts and plugins... ;)

I've been able to make do with all the current apps I use, but the biggest change for me compared to the 90s is that I don't have the time nor curiousity to figure out what every single option in every single menu is, regardless of how it gets discovered (brute force, or youtube videos, or tutorials, or whatever-reincarnation-of-Clippy some apps use, or whatnot).
Doesn't look like you're the owner, but are there any notable clients using this service? With Heroku it was legit enough that you knew enough enterprise users were subsidizing the free tier to where it won't just disappear overnight.
Are Impossible and Beyond just regular TVP? I thought they were more sophisticated than that?
this has some Italian origin and links to a typical behavior you see there: doing business is hard, it is much easier to look at who is making money and pretend somehow a share,

Instead of properly investing in R&D you just look at who is making money: I've heard them saying: they make billions thanks to "our" cables, they have to give us some!
Lobbies have been working on this for years: now that they saw that even gas can be declared green, or that you can turn the EU in a guns buyer in few months (so that, somehow, anything goes) they are kicking harder.

A good term to be used to denigrate this attitude is to use the Italian slang 'pizzo', so I would call it: the 'pizzo EU proposal'
I’ve even heard of such products containing hydroxocobalamin, and even a form of triphosphate.
"Traditions are solutions for which we have forgotten the problems" - I think this quote fits to so many more situations as I get older. Relationships (w/ friends and family) are easily strengthened by traditions.

Traditions are very algorithmic. Traditions sometimes force us to connect/meet people and resolve conflicts if you follow the "rules". Traditions can be hard to follow (as in overcoming some inertia or discomfort).

PS: Don't have to think of just cultural traditions. A gang of college friends can have their own silly but decades long traditions and inside-jokes.
"Regret is an inevitable consequence of life"
I don't know enough to support their extreme position, but for the sake of information:

Part of it is state-owned banks (the dominant form of banking in China) offering attractive lending to state-owned enterprises, as loan officers avoid the risk of being accused of corruption.

Also, there likely is/was more direct encouragement of exporters (e.g. by subsidies), similar to other countries, but my source doesn't specify if this currently applies to China.

Yeah – I tested these sorts of "bad image" negative prompts a lot in 1.5 and found they had almost no impact whatsoever. It may be different in 2.0, like the tweet author says, but it is also pretty telling that in that tweet they're using "blurry", "blurred", and "grainy" and are rendering images with heavily blurred backgrounds and obvious film grain.

Specific common keywords like "amputated" may have a positive impact, though. Hard to tell. Doing apples-to-apples comparisons with negative keywords is challenging because even a single extra keyword tends to completely change the image.

One thing that SD really impressed me by, though, is its understanding of symmetry. "Symmetrical composition" is an incredibly powerful phrase: https://imgur.com/a/lioJ8ak

And it does, indeed, extend to anatomy as well – "symmetrical eyes" can help a lot, while "symmetrical arms" renders people with their arms raised or outstretched.
Are those people paying for the flavor of the food, or because they think it'll cure incontinence or something?
But those issues are highly correlated with ADHD itself. Why would you assume that stimulant medication is the cause?

In fact, data suggest that the problems you observed probably would have been worse absent the stimulant medication. A treatment can be beneficial even if it doesn't completely eliminate the associated issues.
But OpenTelemetry never claimed to be an auto-instrumentation only library, you can very well just manually instrument your application with the metrics you want and export it your self managed prometheus + log infrastructure. In fact, OTel makes it easier for you if in the future you might want to move to a better self managed TSDB + Log Infra because you know it most likely have an exporter ready with zero effort to re-instrument your metrics or logs
