I try to eat less meat, but to be honest I haven't really found a "plant-based" product that actually tastes good. At best it works for products that are highly processed, and over-spiced anyway.

But e.g. things like minced meat alternative just taste awful, no matter which brand. I'd rather just put more veggies in my food, or mushrooms, or more natural things like tofu and spice it myself...

I see those plant-based products only as an alternative to very cheap, low quality meat. E.g. Id rather eat a plant based "chicken" nugget, than one made from meat scraps full of bone splitters and cartillage.
So the target market for these products is people that want to eat real meat and actively seek it out? And they're catering to them by... replacing existing vegetarian options? They must not have read your comment. Sounds like a bad market fit.

The number of people who eat meat and don't care if their meat is made of meat has got to be in the 7 figure range worldwide. The number of people that don't eat meat and want their vegetables to taste like meat is probably larger, though still miniscule. It's failing because there's no market for it.

Needs more runtime support like Typescript!
Yes, one is easier to write and the other is easier to ship, except for WebGL.

The JS/browser angle has another GPU related parallel here. WebAssembly SIMD is is shipping since a couple of years and like WebGL make the browser platform one of the few portable ways to access this parallel-programming functionality now.

(But functionality is limited to approximately same as the 1999 vintage x86 SSE1)
Completely agree with you. I'm not a vegetarian at all and honestly most of my dinners are vegetarian anyway because half the time I'm just too lazy to deal with meat. Plenty of delicious cheese centered meals, for instance. Mac and cheese can be made in a million different ways. Sometimes I'll make my chicken rice and mushroom casserole but throw in legumes instead. Lots of great things to make with eggs for protein too.

I've accidentally cut my meat consumption down drastically through sheer laziness, so I always find it puzzling that people make a fuzz about it.

Why? What is it about postgrest which makes it unsuitable for "real" usage? The author doesn't mention it.
It's not just something in coffee. I think it's psychological. I used to need to go after the first cup of the day, but now just pouring the coffee in the cup sends me to the bathroom before I even take a sip.
Sadly there are none.
I think its smart. Best to keep it out of the hand of freaks for now otherwise people will start thinking of image generators as porn generators.

First they should sort out the legal question of training the AI on copyrighted material and propose use cases that the general public will find value in. Censorship can be dealt with later.
Why some tech CEOs are rooting for Musk
It is. Or if it is unfeasible to implement then it can be considered to be a defect in the standard.

Consider that something like (++*ptr1) + (++*ptr2) may or may not be UB, depending where the pointer points to. The required additional bookkeeping might make compile time evaluation unpractically slow.

Alternatively the sequencing could be always defined between any two subexpressions within constexpr context.
That is what bit over 2$ a week. Which I think is less than current inflation. So it would not actually change much.
> Because there's an assumption that the O(1) of a hashtable always beats the O(N) of a linear search. Except that that's really not always the case anymore on a modern arch, with things properly vectorized, etc.

It was never universally true. I remember reading about compiler design in the 1970s; I think it was somewhere in Wirth where he pointed out that, for local symbolic lookups, it was more efficient to use a simple loop over an array because the average number of symbols was so low that the constant management overhead from any more advanced data structure was more expensive than a linear scan.
I've seen this advice all over too, but it's never accompanied by anything approximating a mathematical proof. IMO, the burden of proof is on showing DCA works, not the other way around. In any case, the problem with your analogy is that if you have no information about that sin wave, you're equally likely to be investing at a local minimum.
I don't think it's about health, it's about not having to unnecessarily farm cows.
The thing is, this stuff is more expensive than normal meat, and if you go by bio availability of the nutrients, a fraction of the same nutritional value as actual meat. And if they replace meat consumption then it puts even more stress on the agricultural land that can actually grow vegetable crops, which is only about a quarter of all farm land.

So either way, it wont work that well in it's current state.
I sympathize with the sentiment, but the vast majority of my contacts already use other messaging systems that are identified by phone number such as SMS and WhatsApp—they don’t even use email, at least not for “text messaging”‐like things. In practice I’ve found that Signal has been the most successful privacy‐respecting messenger that my friends communicate with, which I attribute in large part to its policy of populating contacts lists by phone number, as well as its fad‐chasing features like stickers and GIF search.

Yes, marketing.
So in this case where someone has for some special event to enable this feature they can get a few options. I was asking because Apple and GNOME fanboys claim that the average user is incapable to choose for themselves.

But honestly in this case they needed to release it globally, then designers would be happy they removed a feature, Apple could continue selling the idea that they respect human rights and privacy.

I don't see how that can be true when new versions put a 2y time bomb on old versions.

I think Yes. I know many engineers who are passively open to opportunities.

This is because most of them are happy at their work but if someone with better opportunity or opportunity aligning with their career path reaches out to them, they consider it.

We have hired a senior engineer by this strategy only and it works.
Yes, people being fooled into electing corrupt government officials are victims. What's your objection? If I lie to you and steal from you, are you not a victim?
C++ is starting to show that it's Designed By Committee ;)

I'm a big fan of C++. It's been my primary programming language since 1996. C++11 was awesome! I'm in the minority of the C++ developers that occasionally take the language (and the compilers - just like Internet Explorer was a great pain for "front end" developers for a decade, MSVC was a pain in the a* for C++ developers) for a ride to it's limits.

However, the complexity of the language in C++ 23 is mind mind-boggling.

The complexity in C++ 11 was quite frankly already overwhelming. I've worked as a senior and principle C++ developer in small startups and big established software companies. In the last decade, I've only met a handful of really qualified C++ developers (people who actually know the language, and how to use it effectively). Most of the "Senior C++" developers I've worked with can use basic things in the same way that average Java developers can use Java - but they know nothing about for example template meta-programming or how to do concurrency correctly. Many of them were just C programmers who at some point were thrown into a "C++ project" and learned how to "use classes", but still use C functions for starting new threads. In other words, In 2022 they have not even updated themselves to C++ 11.

It's hard to learn C++ to an advanced level. It's /really/ hard. Most people don't have the personal drive to do it. At least not the majority of the C++ developers I've worked with over the years. They learn the basics, and then just use the knowledge they already have to do their job.

Even I, and friends of mine that are even more enthusiastic about C++ than I am, are starting to feel exhausted by the ever increasing complexity of the language (and the libraries). One of them suggested to me to take a look at Rust. It's a lot simpler to learn Java/Kotlin (applications) or Rust (system programming) than it is even to maintain a good knowledge about C++.

I still think C++ is a lot of fun, and programming exiting things in the language gets me into flow in a way few other activities can. It's also rewarding - I can do incredibly cool things, and I can incrementally improve on the way I solve the same problem each time I run into it in a new project.

But that's me. Most of the C++ code I've seen in small and large companies stinks. The developers have the tool to do wonderful things - but like the Wizard's Apprentice - they don't know the tool very well, and they don't know how to use it. I think most of the projects started today in C++ would be better off written in a simpler language that the developers actually comprehend.

I think that's okay as long as they don't enlarge or anything when you're hovering over them. And as long as they don't start playing audio or downloading an entire video.
Like... what ISP would go out of their way to do that? Call me cynical, but I doubt there's an ISP that uses CGNAT who would forward a port to you. Like, they all do the total absolute minimum necessary to get you Internet access. Why would they bother creating some way to let you forward a port to your computer? No average person needs to do that anymore now that everything is cloud-based. I could be way wrong on this, but I just have my doubts...

You can “install” the apps from the web. Their called PWA. People have been trained to just download apps from the App or Play store.

Now some apps have to be native, but most of the apps I see people using can be saved as a PWA and still do the almost the same stuff the do in the native app. Ie doom scroll for hours.

Some kinds of processing increase insulin impact, others don't. If your goal is controlling sugars, a diet premised solely on minimizing processing isn't a great strategy; "processing" isn't the high-order bit of that problem.
Going by the stories I’ve heard from my dad and uncles, they all had lots of male friends and drinking buddies, guys they knew from the union, the bowling league, the VFW, the Lions Club, etc. All those institutions that have either completely collapsed or become irrelevant for young people in America. I don’t think any of those guys went to church much.

The take that GP is expressing feels like a very post 1980s thing.
I don't understand why the cost of processing can't achieve significant economies of scale when the company is supplying food at the national level. Can someone explain that to me?
It seems primarily designed for stock pumping, but positioning it for government/military subsidies makes sense given Musk's proven mastery of corporate welfare.

I think the ongoing production delays (now out to mid-2023) come down to a couple of problems remaining for Musk and team to solve:

1. Making unbreakable glass windows that actually don't break. Probably important for military and police applications.

2. Switching from Apple Pay to a more free-speech friendly online payment system to collect deposits.

The rest looks pretty easy.

> Do you have any obligation to ensure it’s disposed of properly by that company?

Unless there are specific laws about it, then not particularly more or less than any other transaction with anybody else. That is to say, probable some diligence, but at some point you can certainly pay others to take your waste. This isn't even remotely unusual. I've paid battery places to dispose of old lead acid batteries, tire shops to dispose of my old tires, a landfill to dispose of lots of stuff from motor oil to broken appliances.

> Can I just pay the homeless guy on the street $1MM to my waste? What if he sets up an LLC?

Why would being homeless bar him from conducting private business like anybody else? What sort of authoritarian communist hellhole do you live in?

Where I live, sure you could do that. And if he didn't dispose of it properly, government regulators would come after him and get that money back. That's how these things work. If they didn't do that, then unscrupulous corporations sure aren't going to pay a middle-man money to not do something that they can not do for free.

How much are you on the hook for slavery, corruption, environmental destruction, and war crimes when you purchased your iPhone, filled your gas tank, bought a pair of sneakers, or ate something containing palm oil? How many years in the slammer and how large a fine can I put you down for?

I read somewhere in French press that some fake food company allegedly put melanin in their products to trick the FDA, that the peas they use for their fake food are from China and that those peas are full of poisonous chemicals like Bisphenol A.
Too bad. Using suffixes means that maybe it can play Cards Against Humanity, if there is a way to constrain its output among a fixed set of choices. I can't wait to see the results.

I believe you're right, but I have always thought DCA was just a measure to transform "fixed amount to savings account" people into "fixed amount to Vanguard" people so that they can access the higher risk that is the S&P500 compared to a savings bank account.
Absolutely. It is shameful how much stuff needs to be run before you can even get started.
Can you elaborate. So you are working two supposedly full-time jobs but in reality working less than 8 hours in total, is that right?

Wouldn't that happen pretty quickly? I don't think meat producers would just happily cover for that extra fee.
I think the interesting question is that how big a speed delta does a typical Rust app enjoy when built with autovectorization enabled vs not.

You get points for going faster, not for sometimes emitting the instructions.
I agree. The fact that they are willing to launch hydrazine rockets over villages says the don't care about safety. That was the point I was making.
Thanks, that’s amazing.

prompt:

Over endless eons, the small cube has floated through the vast darkness. Temperature hovering near absolute zero, molecules barely moving.

Yet then in a blink of an eye, it enters a solar system.

Response:
Its surfaces heat up from the onslaught of light from the sun, and its molecules spring to life. Its energy increases exponentially as the cube absorbs the energy of the system, until eventually it is filled with a light of its own.

The cube's journey isn't over yet. It is swept up in the planet's gravitational pull, its energy now being used to propel it forward towards the planet's surface. It drifts through the atmosphere, its heat increasing as it descends.

Finally, the cube plummets to the planet's surface, the impact sending shockwaves across the land. For a moment, the cube is still. Then, without warning, it bursts into a brilliant display of light and energy. Its molecules scatter and recombine, and in an instant, the cube is transformed into something entirely new.

The cube has become part of the planet, its energy now used to give life to the land. It has become a source of light, heat, and energy that will sustain the planet for eons to come.

Never used GPT3 before. Gets a bit mystical but it’s amazing
I have been very actively using Twitter for around 18 months and I have two observations on this
1. When someone is beginner and they see such threads, they engage with it (either like, retweet or bookmark) so that they will save the resources for later use.
2. They engage (quote retweet or comment) on such threads to get engagement in return. The "influencer" in this context will reply/engage back with them giving them more attentions.

This becomes useful in both ways and also this is considered as a perfect way to gain followers. May be thats why :D
Yes and can be beneficial sometimes. For example, in the case of something like kale or spinach cooking reduces goitrogens IIRC.
First, what is "fake food"? Second, why would a company try to get caught on purpose?
I don't think I'd be surprised. I don't know how to solve that though short of starving myself to death.
DCA is always controversial here, someone always says lump sum is better, but I tend to think of the maxim of Ben Graham that "the stock market is a voting machine in the short term and a weighing machine in the long term". I expect prices to eventually converge to some "fair" or rational value for the stock(s) in question, but at any given moment they may be way off, particularly for a single name, so I like DCA as a way to mitigate that risk. I do however recognize that DCA is a psychological way for people to build comfort and a consistent investing habit, and for this reason I think it's extremely valuable.

That said, if you're very long it's hard to picture entering Google or Apple at 15-18x earnings and doing very poorly. Personally I am DCA'ing because i) it's how I invest and ii) I do think there is more pain to come. There are many reasons for that, rallies amongst meme stock names after dips is one indicator imo.

His analysis of Airbnb is interesting. Airbnb's trailing 12 month P/E ratio is 40x, not 15.5x. He is projecting forward Airbnb's recent monster quarter. This is a bit risky imo, though maybe he knows the business better than me. I'd still be more comfortable DCA'ing into Airbnb or travel as a sector, but 2 quarters ago their P/E was 150x, so at 40x it does look pretty attractive.

Shameless plug, since this is right in our wheelhouse, I am the creator of a DCA focused custom indexing investing product[1] and a simulator to backtest DCA investing[2].

Nice way to put down the amazing work of compiler authors. It's not malware you just don't understand how to use it. If you don't want the compilers to do crazy optimisations turn down the optimisation level. If you want then to check for things like null pointers or integer overflow or array bounds at runtime then just turn on the sanitizers those compiler writers kindly provided to you.

You just want all of it: fast optimizing compiler, one that checks for your mistakes but also one that knows when it's not a mistake and still generates fast code. It's not easy to write such a compiler. You can tell it how to behave though if you care.
This doesn't answer your question completely, but the user group communities are very strong for both IBM Mainframe and IBM i platforms. https://www.share.org/ and https://www.gse.org for example.

It doesn't claim that it's immune to requests from authorities, as far as I can see.
That US subsidy, $114 per person, if removed and offset by higher prices at the supermarket, would amount to under $10 more a month per person in grocery costs. I can see there being a reduction of consumption at the scale of the industry in the US, but generally speaking I don't think the industry would notice it all that much. The subsidies are almost certainly not the reason that meat is cheaper than beyond burgers.
Finally someone does versioning properly and enforce basic REST principles. URL versioning (v1,v2, etc) simply don't make any sense yet they are used all the time. API shouldn't ever change (on that version) once you release the version, yet we see new endpoints appear after v1/ all the time. You never know what's new what old feature in url versioning.

Imagine you release package on npm (or whatever) versioning it with v1 and constantly adding new features and still keeping the v1 version tag. That's what you're doing to your API.
I agree the naming/labeling thing is tricky. We have a friend who brings round 'vegan cheese' when she visits; living in the EU, I'm surprised this labeling is allowed. Is it OK to label vegetarian things as 'beef'?
On the other hand, 'beef substitute' doesn't sound terribly appetising.
But we are all familiar with 'peanut butter'; I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can explain what is and is not allowed.
Good! Intellectual dishonesty and self-deception of all kinds is wrong and weak, and it should be stopped.

Fake meat is just as dumb as those CVT transmissions that have fake shift points, or setting your watch 10 minutes ahead so you will never be late.

If you think eating meat is wrong, then stop doing it. It's a defensible moral position. But don't try to trick yourself into thinking you are still doing it -- instead, have the mental strength and willpower to admit to yourself that you are eating vegetables. Maybe even learn how to cook them in a way that does not impersonate meat.
It's just a tool. It doesn't make sense to call it art or non art. The human intent is what makes it art, and other human's opinion is what makes it valuable art.

This is like saying "is the output of a camera art or not?" The question cannot really be answered, the camera is just a tool as well.

Are you advocating for red tape and regulatory capture here?
I don't think this is the whole story. That are certain classes of undefined behavior that some compilers actually guarantee to treat as valid code. Type punning through unions in c++ comes to mind. Gcc says go ahead, the standard says UB. In cases like these, it really just seems like the standard is lazy.
