pre-stressed concrete is great, and has many advantages over regular reinforced concrete and is more efficient in terms of cross section so cracks less. It still cracks, though, and in different locations like on the ends horizontally instead of at high moment/deflection areas vertically. Pre-stressed does experience fewer shrinkage cracks, which is nice. It's more expensive to build and repair.

And while you absolutely have pretensioned girders on bridges commonly, the bridge decks generally aren't, although they're almost always completely in compression and the steel is there for shrinkage cracks etc.
> I'm willing to consider and . eventually accept the idea that vegetable oil, or some class of oil or fat in general, is causing significant public health problems and increases risk of disease. However, every time I delve into the research on vegetable oil I end up being more confused

The class of oil you're looking for is called sugar. We all know Big Sugar paid off a couple of researchers to spin the blame on fats, and perception has been baised since.

If we reduce sugar (including carbs) and we'll see health outcomes improve.
By classic I meant the typical set of isolation excercises focused on heavy load of weights. I said a disaster because I felt that continuing on that path I would have injuried myself.
I wonder where/when this calories-in-calories-out trope ever made sense. Metabolism is so complex that the energy lost during reactions between and into metabolites cannot be measured - they happen inside cells mostly, at an insane rate. The mere presence of increased active thyroid hormone (T3) will elevate body temperature, leading to increased heat loss. Muscles become more efficient when used often. Muscles load glycogen after sports. Energy is conserved by warm clothing. Low room temperature leads to extra energy loss. Etc

How is one supposed to even approximate the energy balance without a fully body composition (dexa) scan every week?
At that budget, just get Sennheiser HD600.
Ask HN: Is there any AI specialised in asking questions?

My thinking is writing articles would be easier if there’s someone asking thought provoking questions along the way.
You must have selective pressure on genome size for organisms to evolve mechanisms to reduce the "junk". The metabolic cost of carrying around the junk is small. The cost of cleaning up the junk comes from much more frequent accidental deletions/truncations of important sequences. Upending that equation requires massive selective pressure for a smaller genome - maybe something like a tardigrade that gets desiccated regularly? In any case no chance any vertebrate species would have that kind of pressure. You'd need insane offspring counts and short generation cycles to afford the selective pressure price.

The fact that we can tap junk at some future point is probbly just an accidental side-effect... though there is another theory that claims having lots of junk provides some protection against environmentally-induced damage because most of the time it is a junk section that gets damaged. Hows that for the next error protection algorithm: pad the message with mostly zeros so occasional bit corruption doesn't matter. Take that Shannon!

If you want a specific example of this mechanism working: primate 3-color vision. In our two color blue-yellow seeing ancestors the yellow pigment sequence got duplicated, then eventually slightly mutated. That's why the red and green receptors overlap so much yet blue is standing way off by itself. It is high likely this started as a useless duplication and was carried around for a long time before one of the duplicates got mutated.

Lot of a average Joe's can't do them. I'm probably in good company to say you really only need 6 exercises.

From light to heavy:
Chinups, Shoulder press, Rows, Bench, Squat, Deadlift

Or, roughly, in calisthenics:
Chins, shoulder push-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, squat, sit-ups.

Probably the most useful of these movements is deadlift, nothing will make throwing office furniture around more fun than the strength you can train with deadlifts. Front raising a TV off the wall is pretty cool, too.
If we have a looming lithium shortage, instead of pushing EVs, we should be pushing PHEVs which use 1/10th the batteries and require 1/10th the energy and time to charge. Over 90% of most driver's daily use is less than 1/10th the range (40 km) of a typical EV (400 km) so a PHEV with 1/10th the battery means they will rarely need gasoline. For longer trips, you can use gas so there is no range anxiety.

One EV reduces one driver's gasoline usage by 100%. With the same amount of batteries we could build 10 PHEVs and reduce 10 drivers' gasoline by 90%. This is a 9 times greater reduction in gasoline usage than building EVs.

If we're really serious about lowering CO2, we should be pushing PHEVs, not EVs that we don't have enough batteries for.

Copyright grants an author of a copyrightable work the exclusive right to make more copies of it. However, if people independently come up with the same exact thing, copying has not occurred and that exclusive right was not violated (and then the court battle effectively becomes one about proving whether copying did in fact occur).

In copyright law there is no such concept as "code snippets that are long enough to qualify for copyright protection" or "canonical owners". Quite explicitly, copyright does not give a monopoly over an idea, but merely protects against the unlawful reproduction of an original work.

If you take some snippet from a work in which you own copyright and find that in the world multiple people have somehow managed to write the exact snippet, but they did it independently without copying it from you, then copyright law effectively states the following things:

1) They definitely aren't violating your copyright, and you have no claim on them whatsoever - independent creation is a complete defense to copyright infringement;

2) Perhaps this snippet might be judged uncopyrightable, as the existence of multiple independent recreations is some evidence that it lacks originality and thus would not qualify for copyright protection at all.

> This is why so many OGL works contain phrases like "core rule books of the 5th edition of the world's most popular pen and paper RPG" instead of "Monster Manual p. 132".

But that's ridiculous, right? Anyone can refer to a page in a book. If the OGL takes that away, then what's even the point of it? Well, I guess being able to make derivative works, but what if I don't want to do that? What if I want to make my own campaign world that's merely meant to be compatible with the D&D rules? The same way anyone can make a game that runs on Windows without needing a license?

WotC's entire reasoning that you can't do that, sounds to me like a far too restrictive interpretation of copyright law. I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know, WotC's interpretation has never been tested in court.
I read on a bodybuilding site years ago that you'd get good results by slowing your eccentric movements to make sure that your muscles are actually lowering the weights. It's one of the practices I've tried to maintain. That and lifting to failure.
I had a nontraditional background, and was labeled as a gifted kid. At your age, my dad and I were trying to get a software company off the ground, based around products I had created. That was a mixed experience - I learned a lot from it, but it was pretty stressful. At age 22 I decided to go to grad school (not having gotten my undergrad degree btw) and that turned out to be the right decision.

I'm not saying what to do, that's your decision. But I do very strongly recommend watching Bryan Cantrill's talk "Coming of Age"[1]. It goes into considerable detail about the different strengths and weaknesses people have at different ages, and how to make the best of that.

Push-ups are great for strength, muscle growth, and health. But their usefulness for strength and muscle growth drops off once you are able to perform many standard push-ups. At that point you’d need to do harder variations (like archer push-up) or weighted push-ups to keep seeing muscle growth and strength gains.

When copilot was release there were people who got it to print out account and passwords that had been put into the training data. Microsoft should had at minium sanitized the training data so it would not include such information. There is also likely personal information stored in some of those open repositories.

Copyright infringement doesn't have a fixed size. It depend on context and what kind of information is copied. It demonstrate that copilot has not actually learned how to code (as many people like to claim), but is simply a algorithm for copying code. If it had learned to code like a human it wouldn't divulge secrets.
Is it the external noise or the cabin noise? We changed the propeller on the plane I usually fly (Ikarus C42) a couple of years ago and the new one is extremely quiet as perceived from the ground, now the engine makes more noise than the propeller. In the cockpit the noise is lower overall, but I was never able to point to the engine or to the prop from that position.

For scientific papers, depending on the field, order of listing actually is some indication of role. I think the convention in bio research is 1st author is the primary creator of the experiment and paper while last author is the lab PI.

Per this science.org column, that seems typical across a number of scientific disciplines.

It very much depends on the exact ruling. Judges usually don't like to make rulings broader than they need to be, so it may well be something decided on a technicality. Or the ruling may rely on some particular property of the Copilot model that does not apply to ChatGPT.

What's the latency on GitHub's detection / AWS quarantine? Can a hacker watch your repo and use the key first?

(I guess the hacker can also just watch every 5 mins instead of every 30 mins...)
Not only it feels obvious, but it has already been studied many times, with always the same conclusion. But more studies are needed at least until people start caring.

Still, aviation is a domain where they care, and they are starting to put in touchscreens in the cockpit, but doing so reasonably. That is: the touchscreens are not necessary to fly the plane and they mostly comes in addition to physical buttons, not to replace them. It is especially important in turbulant conditions.

> There is no situation in which I'd want to do all of the above work for every single repository I setup.

What the heck are you talking about?

The only work you'd have to do "for every single repository" is the single git command.

Getting a server, managing access and discoverability, setting it up for browser access, setting up backups, those are things you would do once.

If that's a waste of four hours, valid argument, but it's not a waste of four hundred hours. You're grossly exaggerating the cost.

Oh and you didn't mention keeping the server updated but that's probably ten minutes of effort once a month.

> Doing this once would be a fun learning experience. Doing it more than once is a useless chore.

Then there's no problem.
> What do you mean by "glue them together"?

Stitch them side by side. Yes, this is not how those DNNs work, but the example was more about highlighting that "a giant table of token frequencies" by itself is probably reversible back to original data, or at least something resembling it.

> Stable Diffusion has less than two bytes per source image, on average.

I'm not convinced by this trivia point, though. Stable Diffusion is, effectively, a lossy compression of the training data. Nothing says lossy compression algorithms can't exploit some higher-level conceptual structures in the inputs[0], and applying lossy compression to some work doesn't automatically erase the copyrights of the original input's author.

--

[0] - SD isn't compressing arbitrary byte sequences, it's compressing images - which is a small subset of all possible byte sequences as large as the largest image used in training. "Less than two bytes per source image, on average" doesn't sound to me like something implausible for a lossy compressor that is focused on such small subset of possible inputs, and gets to exploit high-level patterns in such data.
Think that gets included in the calories out term.

To some extent, yes. Electric motors are not completely quiet, but there are some propellers that are relatively quiet, without hard numbers it is just informed guessing.

I think there should be a distinction between heated and raw oils. According to (DOI: 10.1016/j.vph.2014.02.004),

"Prolonged consumption of the repeatedly heated oil has been shown to increase blood pressure and total cholesterol, cause vascular inflammation as well as vascular changes which predispose to atherosclerosis."

When I was a teenager, I worked in fast food where there was a deep fryer, and the policy of the restaurant was to use the oil until it turned a deep brown (or customers complained). Believe me, that oil was reheated dozens of times. I can only imagine what it's like in a chip factory.

On the other hand, if you're just putting it in a salad dressing, the effects might be different, and there actually seems to be relatively few studies on this topic.

Anyway, this is definitely not the whole picture, but something to think about.

Poll HN: Would you use an anonymous web and forum?
Imagine someone made a good web replacement like Freenet that's anonymous and P2P (and of course uncensorable). But it's fast and not written by script kiddies. Hypertext based but isn't buggy like the web. You open up an article and instantly get text, images, and videos, and can even right click and save them. Any content you post is seamlessly distributed across nodes as it gets more demand. All content is static and therefore the user interface is always consistent and fast.

Now at some point it has as much topic coverage as the web. And it has search indexes that allow you to find stuff of any topic, with filters with such categories as "non-commercial".

Would you use it?

Now imagine there is a forum program based on the same mechanisms: you just post the same kind of hypertext as your messages, and your posts themselves are distributed across nodes. Creating an "account" is just a cryptographic process. A forum topic is just a string instead a "community". You can talk about whatever you want, with zero moderation. You can use a filter to remove any category of posts you don't want to see (like spam, or Fortnite memes, or charlatans).

Just imagine it's like the web but without all the bugs from 30 years of cruft, and with these enhancements above, and is proven to work perfectly.

I would highly want this for publishing my articles on hacking and such, and for talking to people without having to appease a moderator. And for the ability to research arbitrary topics and get pages that just load instead of considering which country I'm in or showing popups.

What about you? Would you actually use it? Why or why not?

This is for cabin noise, for overall noise tractor is still better. On some airports very close to the city the overall noise is the most concerning factor, in some places you cannot operate at night because of the noise, so in the end it depends what you are looking for.
hmm, I think this is mostly about cherry picking some statistics to make vegetable oil bad. It is difficult to research on such topics because there are so many variables. If I ever become test subject, I am sure I will always use fresh vegetables oil, use less oil etc. And, animals have always lied because we all know mice lies and monkey exaggerate.
> the first group’s fat came primarily from vegetable oil sources like safflower oil and margarine while the second group’s fat came from sources like olive oil and butter.

Apparently the author does not consider olive oil to be a vegetable oil. Huh? As I understand it, a vegetable oil is an oil extracted from a plant and olives are the fruiting body of a plant.
I'm fully aware of that. Nothng else within the long comment indicated to me that there were translation issues though, and I added a clarifier for anyone else ignorant on this subject (which is quite a lot of people).

I do find it amusing that you made assumption of my intent to the negative, but an assumption of the GPs intent to the positive, both without any evidence.
The legal argument made in this court case is that there is a substantial difference as redistributing the source as-is (keeping all the attached copyright, attribution and license notifications) is explicitly permitted by every open source license; but in the CoPilot usage the attribution gets removed, which is something which even the repository owner (assuming they're not the only author/copyright holder) does not have the right to do themselves, much less grant permission to others.
i think clockwise starting from the on your right hand naturally wants to drift rightward. Counterclockwise cancels the drift?

That's certainly not the conventional definition of "natural right", nor was it historically. Interestingly, Jefferson, when arguing against patents, made a point that regular property ownership is not a natural right:

"It has been pretended by some, (and in England especially,) that inventors have a natural and exclusive right to their inventions, and not merely for their own lives, but inheritable to their heirs. But while it is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from nature at all, it would be singular to admit a natural and even an hereditary right to inventors. It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject, that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common, is the property for the moment of him who occupies it, but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society."
