He is reputed to have ignored classical medical treatment advice when his condition was discovered and was highly treatable.

If true, it suggests being superpower smart ignoring advice is a life threatening condition.
I don't really use Twitter and also prefer blogs to reading tweet threads, but one interesting advantage of the Twitter model is that it allows easy quoting/replying/liking of individual paragraphs / sentences.

I'm not sure if this outweighs the different reading experience, but that ability makes for something which is fundamentally different, rather than being a strictly worse version of a blog.
I feel like Morris Chang in his retired days has been following the likes of Peter Zeihan who claims globalization is dead because the United States Navy can no longer protect the world's shipping lanes, which is absurd. I could only make it through half this video because he just seems very wrong to me.

Personal experience shipping a big PWA: Safari's PWA experience is not just bad, it's all but undiscoverable:

Open the Share sheet, scroll down, tap "Add to Home Screen," fill in the information, tap Add.

There are simply no users that do this, and it is not an alternative to having a mobile app in the App Store.
No gpt3. Embeddings alone can be used for semantic search.
Nope, it's not the same. It's definitely faster and smoother to use only one key.
The problem with AutoIt is it's openly hostile community.

What community it does have is extremely and openly hostile towards newbies and non-programmers. To the point where browsing their forums has become a huge turn-off, and definitely has rejected folks trying to learn programming and/or AutoIt.

Even experienced programmers sometimes ask "dumb" questions... and the hostility they're met with is unacceptable.
I don't know why people complain about this on HN every single time, rather than accepting that people do and will continue to use these formats
Session playing is one of the better career paths in music performance, such as it is, because it rewards being a highly-skilled technician. Producers can do marvelous things in a DAW, but it's all sampling. If they want a live part and they want to sound like it, bringing in a player for an hour can be more cost-effective.

The problem is that you need superstar skills to pass the threshold of actually getting those gigs - you have to show up and just be able to nail things on the first take, and even improvise your part if asked.

If you aren't fussy about sound quality, then it's not really important how the part is played, but that's also why music has such a crisis as an economic activity; sequenced and prerecorded substitutes for live performance aren't timbrally the same, but they let you communicate all the structural information of the music. In a sense, it's like we replaced listening with reading, and that's a problem when so much of music is relatively similar.
How is it just a hop from fully autonomous city vehicles? The sensor suite and software doesn't really care about the type of engine. Waymo's Chrysler Pacificas are hybrids in fact.
TLDR: The modern obesity epidemic is mostly a mystery, things like higher caloric food, western diet bad don't tell the whole story.

I think it tells more of the story than contaminants does. A candy bar is packed with calories and not that filling. This didn't exist a long time ago.
It's to allow engagement for any part of the post chain.

With blogs it is hard to respond to just part of it - and it is hard to respond in most blog comment systems. Twitter solves both of those problems.

The other point I forgot to make is that, during a storm, you could ground a lot of other non-essential electric vehicles, e.g. buses, and place their batteries strategically throughout the city (at a bike station, or empty parking spots). Once the emergency is over, you're not stuck with a lot of excess inventory. That, again, assumes a lot: common batteries, etc.
Specifically within California, the cost of living for things like housing is sky high if you live local to SF or SV. I live in a lcol and own a home, but home ownership with my same salary would be impossible in a HCOL area. I would easily pay 3-4x as much for the same amount of property. To relocate and keep the same standard of living, my salary would need to effectively 1.5-1.7x just to offset the costs of a higher mortgage payment. And renting in an average apartment in the area would cost at least much as my current mortgage.
How to Boot on a Btrfs Snapshot
I use native apps only when I need the functionality of a native app: particular performance concerns / notifications / peripheral connectivity / etc.

But I try my best to not install any apps that I don't consider necessary. I feel everyone wants to push an app for what could be achieved trivially with a website (looking at you Xfinity).
> Why must concepts be learned just-in-case (preliminary) rather than just-in-time (on demand)

Because you don't know which concepts you need unless you already know what they are.

Even people who had bariatric surgery regain weight substantially.
> The big-little architecture is built around the idea of large cores idling / shut down most of the time, and only waking up to serve a peak load

This would suggest placing E cores between (or even inside) P cores, every cluster of them maybe on a small chiplet.

I wonder if the idea could go as far as having efficient and performant execution units in the same processor, with the reorder buffer issuing instructions to different units according to how far down the instruction stream the result is needed.
Browser are the largest individual representative of web technologies (in terms of traffic, users). The three things you listed are all consumed primarily through browsers. And the article we're discussing explicitly is talking about applications- either on the mobile phone, or in the mobile browser.

No, I don't want Fuchsia, that's just another OS on top of the 3 we have, with significant restrictions. It was really just a tool for Google to have more power over Android developers and hardware manufacturers.
Yes I always abandon these when I see they don't just contain a link to a blog post. You might have thought someone waxing about the merits of the web would have heard of hyperlinks (admittedly, I'm only assuming that's what he's doing as I'm not going to slog through a train of mastodon posts).
> The pharma industry will enable addicts because it wants money.

This is a little over-simplistic. The "pharma industry" is not a monolith, and is made up in large part by academics who love spending their time thinking about how to make the world better, and by doctors who have no conflict of interest, etc etc.
Personal experience as a web user: I agree.

I'm not even talking about bugs per se. Just the experience. I find myself constantly battling misinterpreted gestures. I try to zoom out on a page. Safari thinks I want to switch to the Tab View. I don't. Please just make the page smaller so I can see it all.

Or, I try to grab a UI slider that's positioned near the left edge of the viewport. Safari thinks I want to navigate back to the previous page. Nope. Apparently if form controls are too close to the screen's edge, they're read-only at that point?

So many gestures are overloaded now that it's a stressful thing sometimes to get it to do what I want. Being pixel-perfect with my fat dumb finger is no fun.
Because if you want to lose quickly, and once you get the discipline to lose you do want it to be quick, you have to restrict your calories A LOT.

I'm not OP but when I was losing, as a 6"2 male, I was eating between 1200 and 1400 calories a day. This does not allow you to eat anything outside of small meals and drink anything outside of water or diet sodas.

I was still going sometimes to the restaurant with friends but my choice was limited to the unique salad on the menu (which you can't eat whole because it would be too much) and my drink would be a diet coke. Same when we were going to the bar, I would just have diet soda or water.

I was lucky that all of my friends were absolutely supportive and didn't mind at all, but it still limits you. Going to a night club without drinking is not fun at all for example.
I bought a Quest 2 over the holidays to see what the state of the technology is. Usually I am more at the bleeding edge with all tech but this genre never really seemed interesting until recently.

I am impressed, the technology is developed far enough that you can lose yourself into the virtual worlds. But that is also a problem, as I'd rather not "lose myself" by disconnecting from reality too often.

The experience isn't casual enough because you need to make time and physical space and then check out of your first reality.

There is a popular game called BeatSaber which is an innovative demonstration of what VR can do and a way to burn time, but it's by no means a killer app that warrants the start up expense.

More interesting from a utility perspective is app called VRChat that puts you inside a virtual house, or lounge, or a club or something and you can talk to other people's avatars as if you are sharing the same room. This could be really interesting for long term relationships and socializing (for example, to play chess together), but I can see why nobody would fire this up when you could zoom call.

I have doubts as well that this tech can ever be more than a medium sized niche.

Why is the answer to this question always “Safari sucks”?

Are there no good PWAs that run on Android? Are there none that, though perhaps smaller is scope, run well in Safari?

People have been advocating for PWAs for a very long time now but it’s incredibly hard to get examples of good ones. There is always some complaint about Safari instead.
Ask HN: What if ChatGPT proliferates into a feedback loop of sources it created?
> There are simply no users that do this…

100%. PWAs are not a priority for Apple (and shouldn't be for developers) because users don't search for apps in web search engines, they search for them in the App Store.
Wow. That’s exactly how I feel. I’ve always focused on concepts over specifics, thinking that I’ll figure out the details as I do a thing. People don’t seem to want that, though. Maybe I’m looking for the wrong kind of work.

Every piece of meat, for example, require the conversion of plant matter into meat. There's going to be energy loss. If we eat more plants and less meat, we would pollute less, and less meat animals and presumably more wild animals.

I loved real analysis in college, for example I found cantors set kind of crazy. Does that "exist" in nonstandard analysis? Or are there other mind-bending implications?
Agreed. Web apps are a last resort, to be used grudgingly with gritted teeth if no native apps are available.

OP commented on a weight-loss scheme of eating every other day. Given the social attitudes around eating (which I suspect to be the #1 most common social activity), this alone has the obvious potential to eliminate ~%50 of the most likely socializing opportunities.
Can't even buy 30% peroxide anymore over here :/ Some regulation, some scare mongering and it only got sold to business customers... I can do that, but the quantities are also business-sized, and I don't need 20 liters of peroxide, but can't buy it in 1L bottles anymore
In some ways, I'm glad when twitter, reddit, etc. do things like aggressively pushing to the app or to login because it reminds me of the incentives involved and literally, actively discourages me from using their service.

Practices for Effective Pull Requests
Thanks. I do recall beginning GUI programmers being flummoxed by "repaint this rectangle" calls. All they knew how to do was repaint the entire window, which was not at all what was wanted.
No, I don't agree. We have evidence to suggest that a large number of normal weight people have poor metabolic health, likely due to diet: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30484738/

Not sure about the drugs, particularly if treatment has to continue indefinitely in order for people to keep the weight off. Someone else on here linked to a blog post about how those drugs increase the number of fat cells in the body but prevent fat cell hypertrophy, suggesting that rebound weight gain after the drugs are stopped could potentially leave patients worse off than they started. Most adults do not gain new fat cells when they gain weight, their existing fat cells merely get bigger. Leaving people with more fat cells than they had to begin with might make it even harder for them to maintain a lower weight without the drugs, given that fat cells are metabolically active. Who knows how many people may end up stopping them due to side effects or complications like the thyroid tumors these drugs are known to cause in mice. We know very little about the potential unintended consequences of these drugs.
In fact there was just a PR blitz about not idling to circulate oil: https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/features/aaa-says-dont-w...

Since I have yet to see any of these various claims having any impact on the maintainability or function of my car, I think I'll stick to my plan of not wasting the gas in my engine for months at a time.
It is a bit boring to see repetitive complaints. I suspect they just won't go away until it's made obvious from the link whether or not its worth clicking on (for those of us who won't read social media trains). Even knowing it's Twitter or Mastodon doesn't really help, because the poster might be sensible enough to post a link to a real piece.

A number of eminences in the ALGOL 60 world strongly resisted the philosophy behind ALGOL 68, and spoke up vehemently against the direction that the language was going in. Wirth and Hoare were indeed developing ALGOL X (W comes before X), while what is now ALGOL 68 was ALGOL Y. The X supporters vehemently opposed the direction in which Y was going, and many of them, including Wirth and Hoare, disassociated themselves from the whole enterprise. At that point, the X project was essentially dead (though it's possible to consider Pascal as its immediate successor).

By the way, I want to praise C. H. Lindsey, whose “Informal Introduction to ALGOL 68” rescued the language from indecipherability and showed that there was a useful language lurking inside.

A lot of this history is lost now. I heard bits and pieces of it in my time on the periphery of the UBC ALGOL 68 project circa 1970-5. The Wikipedia articles on ALGOL W and 68 also hint at it.
Multimodal Application of GPT to Video Conference Calls
Read combines OpenAI's GPT's language models with their multimodal audio and video models that measure meeting participant engagement and sentiment to create a novel approach to meeting summarization.

The output is not just a transcript plugged into GPT, but text with annotation around how did non-speakers react to what the speaker said.
No sorry, I went on a tangent and generalized without stating it clearly.

I just wanted to argue that by my definition, we are already in a tranhumanistic (and eugenistic) society, so we should not spare ourselves these debates instead of blanket statements and be afraid of concepts.

I probably appeared as pro go-nuts-on-brain-generics, whereas I actually agree we should be very cautious. The law of unintended consequences is indeed a strong argument.
I've never used CL but heard it's very "design by committee." Java is worse than JS. So yea, maybe hodge podge is actually the best option we have.
I've been reading a bit more about it in the meantime: so, the trolley network in Arnhem is slowly diminishing in size, but it's still there and it will likely be there for quite a while to come. They are looking at ways to use a combination BEV / trolley system to allow the buses to recharge when they're on the line so they can depart from the route for longer stretches.

The maneuvering in case of trouble situation is covered by a tiny diesel engine that can move the bus around to the point where it can reconnect to a working segment of the network.

One problem with reducing the coverage is that it is relatively easy to take away the lines but the poles are in large chunks of concrete and not easy to remove at all.
Independent of UX, universality, etc.,

THE killer feature for native apps is that it takes a wide range of security concerns completely off the table.
>When Apple was a niche PC maker, it needed the web as a way to help potential customers de-risk the purchase of luxury computers.

What does this statement even mean?
It will. It's no different than Wikipedia quoting news articles that were sourced (uncredited) from Wikipedia. Circular referencing isn't new to AI.
Even healthy, nutritious food is packed with calories. Anything that is not a fruit or vegetable can easily cause weight gain. Before civilization, humans had to expend a lot of energy just to get food, what little they could obtain.
> They'd have to walk an extra 10 ft from the front of their building to the curb.

I mentioned in another post it's mostly row houses, sometimes with the 1st and 2nd floor separate living areas. Not huge apartments - you can't put a dumpster in front of every house.

The dumpster would go at the end of the block, no one will support walking that far with their garbage. Not when they are used to a different way.
> And tying sex to marriage causes a lot of issues...

What issues, in your view? From my perspective, it solves a lot of issues. Marriage ensures that society knows exactly who is responsible for the consequences of sex. That's why the institution of marriage has been developed independently by so many different cultures, and has endured for so many centuries.

(And there is always the potential for consequences; no contraception is 100% effective, and on top of that there are the psychological effects)

EVs in a place as dense as NYC seems like a risk. Battery fires can burn for hours and entire blocks might need to be closed off and evacuated due to the risk of battery explosions.

It gets even more complicated when EV fires happen in places like garages under buildings, because that makes it hard for fire fighters to dump the 40,000+ gallons of water needed to keep battery fires cool enough that they don't explode.
> I really wonder if marketing costs have fallen as well

The overall cost of building a product and getting a product to PMF is higher, but the main cost is time. That's why it can be advantageous to just work on something for ten years rather than going out, raising a bunch of money, and shutting down two years later.
I would imagine trying new datasets on daily basis wouldn’t be trivial ?
Every time some rando on the 'net claims "do your own research" they'll send a link to a YouTube video of some charming BS artist with no qualifications peddling ideological garbage to whomever is credulous enough to watch it uncritically.

Are there good YT channels? Yeah. But 9 times out of 10 (or more) when I search for some rando's recommended expert and the first result is a YT video, it's crap. Utter crap.

I nearly choked when my sister-in-law told me a couple years ago about some really convincing anti-vaccine information she had read which made her very nervous. I asked her what she'd heard, and she gave me a link to a YT video by Dr. Shiva. Yes, THAT Dr. Shiva. Ha! I tried to break it to her gently, but I'm pretty sure she still decided he was a credible source of information.
> They're not widespread yet because few vendors sell them.

And the few vendors probably can't build enough of them because hyperscalers are syphoning all the fab output to their own datacenters.
It also promotes tighter writing -- it feels more egregious to have a filler tweet than a filler sentence in a traditional essay.
That is definitely not OS-specific.

Sounds valid too. From OPs post it sounded like he's not very confident in his coding ability any more, so I suggested the weekend projects.
