I edited my comment to point out that Apple made it pretty trivial to run such an app. It just calls your attention to a drive by download of an executable (though I do wonder how many people try to run such things)
That's awfully harsh. For one, the person making that statement is not the developer of the treatment, she's a psychologist expressing concern about the possible downsides. Namely that the drug is expensive, doesn't work on everyone and hasn't been proven to show long-term beneficial outcomes yet (ie lower morbidity). I'm guessing it's also got a high potential for abuse from people with dysphoria. Nobody is saying we should keep it off the market, just that we need to be prepared for potential negative repercussions.
So lets say the world 'goes bad' in the near future. You won't find any way out. Suddenly you'll realize every country out there has a set of rules that say "If you are here you are going to ensure the continuity of our society". Now this may not mean that you have to fight with your life. For the most part countries will take your money in taxation and instead equip a soldier to fight in your stead.

When things get bad enough everywhere will draft you at gunpoint, and you'll either fight or die.
Down's Syndrome is also unhealthy. Should we stigmatize that also? The main issue is control. Many assume that weight is simple and under people's full control. Realistically, though, there are all kinds of reasons why weight gain happens and scientific measurement shows that wild animals are getting bigger too which suggests that pervasive presence of endocrine disrupting agents in the environment may be involved. It is not clear how we might stigmatize exposure to endocrine disruptors.
> large fleet I order to avoid having a small fleet

The large fleet is “2,230 general collection trucks, 275 specialized collection trucks, 450 street sweepers, 365 snowplows, 298 front end loaders, and 2,360 support vehicles” [1]. Those general collection trucks, together with the plows, constitute a circa 2,300-plow snow fleet [2].

Dedicated fleet means buying 2,000 more snowplows. There is no small fleet option.

> This is more of an industry problem than an EV problem

Look at the door on a classic Mini though: https://www.rwclassicminis.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/...

If you told the designers they had to make a car the size of the classic Mini but comply with all modern safety regulations I suspect it would become shockingly small on the inside (I mean, even more-so than a Mini already is).

So it's a governance problem - government's answer to road deaths has been bigger, stronger cars built to do well on safety tests (and hopefully in real-world crashes).

Which really is a people problem - many other safety measures like more stringent vehicle inspections, thorough driver's education, lower speed limits, limits on vehicle power, are big government overreach to many.

Telling people what they want to hear is not a novel way to collect cash or votes. It would be bizzarro if there were people who wanted to hear it but nobody willing to tell it to them.
could you elaborate on the trade-off for longevity? is this based on the supposition that dieting is good for longevity?
Just like private services need to generate shareholder profits. that doesn't mean cheaper either.

Would I rather pay garbage through taxes and fees or would I rather pay garbage and private profits through fees? In general, public services treat employees better, are more accountable to elected officials (good and bad) and aren't obligated to skim an extra little bit off the top to pay someone else. There are countless examples of privatization making services less efficient in the long run, it's not an automatic win.
Heated driveways (and heated sidewalks) are a real thing for wealthy homeowners who do not want to clear snow. It is a neat idea, but I also find it an appalling waste of resources.

1 gram of sugar per half liter https://www.gatorade.com/fuel/hydration/gatorade-fit/16-ounc...

At least it's almost sugar free, relative to normal gatorade anyway. I think advertising regular sugary gatorade to fat people as a fitness product would be tantamount to stochastic murder.
Oh that's neat. I always thought the limit for any kind of model plane is LOS and no exceptions. Have to look into this.
Petro Dobromylskyj is one of the foremost experts of fat metabolism. He has a blog called Hyperlipid where he's been blogging about fat metabolism and interpreting research for close to 10 years.

He thinks the GLP-1 inhibitor drugs will be a disaster in the long term because they 1) cause weight loss but also 2) cause the body to create lots of new adipocyte (fat cells). Increasing the number of adipocytes is very unusual after puberty. As long as you are taking the GLP-1 inhibitor drugs you will lose or maintain weight, but as soon as you stop you will gain a lot of weight back.

Here is the blog post: https://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2023/01/glp-1-agonis...
Elixir is Erlang/BEAM VM, and Phoenix is a small (but awesome) thing in comparison.

Elixir has first class access to an incredibly rich (and battled-hardened) network/distributed ecosystem... if you need it. I know there are major voip companies who build on it, and of course Discord is famous for what they were able to do efficiently with it. These are all outside the realm of Phoenix.

That's not to say Phoenix isn't significant. I think it will definitely be a bridge that pulls Ruby (and the few willing Python) devs over to Elixir. It got me, and I built a successful project in it a few years ago.
AIX 3.2.5 (IIRC) had a bug in NFS where you could corrupt a filesystem's lock with the result that any process that touched the filesystem in any way would block.

IBM's automountd was single threaded.

Someone's code (specifically, a systems programming class assignment) would lock the FS with their home directory. After a period of inactivity the automounter would try to unmount the directory, blocking. The machine is now nearly useless.
> The IDE doesn't need to figure out whether the program is correct. Only has to treat code blocks as defined by the language syntax.

Exactly. It treats these blocks as such. And it will inevitably format them incorrectly from the programmer's point of view.

> because in both cases there is a precise rule to define where blocks start and end.

And this precise rule inevitably formats code incorrectly from the programmer's point of view in a significant amount of cases.
While those items are expensive for market, they were still affordable for a large market segment. I purchased iphone, ipad, airpod, airpods pro, ipod all in the first year of them debuting. I doubt I would do that for a $3k VR set and I have spent over 400hrs in VR. I will need to let others prove the value on this system before I can jump in.
Public services can be as efficient as private services. And without the overhead of dividends they are cheaper.
Which no non-techie user will check, which means you will not be able to write software for that platform.

Unless, of course, you use a dowmload method that won't set the quarantine bit on MacOSX. wget, for instance. Gatekeeper can go sod itself.
The problem is that risk increases rapidly with time. Any system whose goal is to optimize the usage of money, which is what finance basically is, will almost always value short term thinking over long term thinking because of the much greater risk involved.

The way to counteract this is simple. Regulation and/or adding a monetary cost to the behavior you want to discourage.
With that luxury, sure. Emergencies happen. The garbage needs to be picked up.

Total the costs of icy sidewalk slip and falls, lost economic activity, and excess deaths (QALY) over 10 years. Spend 1/4 of that on a series of underground passageways (un)like MIT.

I decided to cut them a bit of slack on that point, since you can build a magnetic monopole quasiparticle, apparently: https://gizmodo.com/elusive-magnetic-monopole-phenomenon-fou... which would probably do what they want.

Though, again, how to keep any "quasiparticle" coherent/retaining the necessary properites in the middle of a star is, to put it charitably, an open question.
Hey, just curious if you noticed that they did exactly what you're suggesting, and then chose a different path the second time?

Yea I'm not going to dox myself on this site, but having actually submitted papers and presented at various cryptography conferences and worked as an applied cryptographer in this field for 10 years, I think I have more cryptographic domain experience than some random furry-avatar security blog writer. Nobody recommends secp256*r1*. Nobody. The Koblitz curve is strictly better.

And libsecp256k1 as an implementation has received as much or more review by professional cryptographers (including many members of the well-respected Stanford cryptography group) than any other curve implementation, including many of the curve25519 libraries. It is battle-tested and very secure. There is, essentially, a giant billion-dollar bounty on the security of this curve and the correctness of its implementation. And in the history of cryptocurrency, there has never, not once, been a theft of money due to a cryptographic weakness or implementation error in this library. Unlike curve25519, whose non-unity cofactor for example was a source of inflation bugs in CryptoNote-based projects (e.g. Monero), something which secp256k1 mathematically prevents from being possible in the first place.

If you want to start a new project and not have to worry about potential cryptographic vulnerabilities with your choice of curve or algorithm, there are very few options to pick from. Both curve25519 and secp256k1 are pretty much the only two options, and they are pretty equal in terms of trustworthiness. If you are doing anything novel with publicly-visible digital signatures, I would absolutely recommend secp256k1 over curve25519 due to the cofactor situation.
Japan taxes obesity through a payroll tax, which to my understanding is especially effective because of the peer pressure exerted by your colleagues and even manager. Being fat is seen as letting the team down since you're causing their costs to go up, not just your own.
I totally understand your position, and I completely agree that integration is way more complex, often doesn't work, and very quickly gets you in the Gamma function danger zone, but I still think it should be taught first (maybe just looking at elementary functions) because it's way more intuitive in my opinion.

There's a reason it was developed first, historically speaking.
She is wearing fitness clothing and doing what appears to be yoga.

Advertisements used to be aspirational. They either still are and people's aspirations have changed, or they are not and there's some other more current explanation for why this ad and others act as a mirror showing a person who they already are (fat) rather than who they aspire to be (not fat).

Said another way, there's nothing explicitly stating that the woman has a goal of becoming thinner. She is shown as well as two other thinner people. They're all doing their own form of exercising while clothed in activewear. The implication could be that the fat woman's goal is to become less fat or that she is comfortable as she is and fits in as part of Team Gatorade™. I suspect the message they're trying to convey is the latter.
Are you a kid, though?

Very weird measure of efficiency. Perf/(Max TDP) doesn't really measure efficiency. Running a workload you care about and measure power usage at the wall would be a MUCH better metric.

The Intel chip might well spend most of it's time at Max TDP and throttling while the M1 might require unusual circumstances (like maxing out the fast cores, slow cores, matrix multiply (which is outside the core), memory controller, and iGPU simultaneously. There's not really any way to tell from the posted benchmark.

Wonder if the i7-1250 runs in any laptops without a fan.
Fascinating. Most JS code is ephemeral, i.e. rarely is something as intensive as video encoding done in the browser (and even then WebAssembly would usually be preferred).

It seems to me like browsers would benefit from running most code in QuickJS, and then spinning up V8 only for those rare cases of long-running JS?
| The likely reason is the changes in lifestyle

Agreed, that's the commonly held reason but when one attempts to reverse what the changes seem to have been, by exercising more and eating less, that doesn't seem to work. My point is that perhaps we need to better understand what the changes have been, that perhaps they are more subtle than they are commonly held to be.
Yeah if they can use the foviated rendering feature and iOS compatibility to make it look like my head's surrounded by various application windows with a sufficiently high resolution to read text in a browser/termina/slack/etc then I'd probably ditch my laptop.

My 2.8lbs laptop is great for carrying around the city but its 13" screen leaves something to be desired when it comes to productivity.
Really? Having used wired VR, my primary thought on making VR go mainstream was to remove the wires. The Quest has problems, sure, but the vision of an "all-in-one" headset is simply so Apple that I'm not sure Apple can resist it. With more efficient hardware and more elaborate battery tech, Apple may well be able to brute-force these issues (especially if they're optimizing for video calls).

It's just really bizarre to read about. Its very possible that Apple is working on a headset, but these rumors just don't sound like something they'd do.
Not a separate fleet, just electrifying the trucks somehow would be beneficial (depending on how that's done, of course - not with coal-fired charging stations on every block).

I find it hilarious that JS was basically invented overnight, and ever since, it's just been layers of hodgepodge added and held together with hot glue to make it all work. And now it's the most popular programming language in the world, even outside of its original intended domain.

Where as in a language that actually has blocks you don't need to make these arbitrary decisions and hunt for the exact way of copying a block of text.
Because the service would need to remember for its whole lifetime who created it. And the next thing people would ask to be able to donate resources to someone else

And here we land with the tagging system. Most of the AWS resources accept tags. And you could have a tag called owner. And then tools like Cost Explore can break down the costs for you by Owner.
The only thing you need to do yourself is to have a system or convention to enforce/encourage all resources to be tagged.
The first half of the 20th century had a lot of "low hanging fruit" in physics and chemistry that basically came out of the enlightenment. Things like electromagnetism, quantum mechanics. I wouldn't guess that's always the steady state for research.

The war may have had something to do with it too, I know a lot of advances (like radio / microwave engineering) have roots in the war efforts. But I suspect it's more of just a dry spell because we pushed forward in the 18th-20th century and ran out of ideas
“Projects change what external tools are supported and other (including packaging/build) dependencies between versions” doesn’t seem to be unique to the JS ecosystem.

OTOH, the JS culture of microprojects makes it more lokely that any given project will have one or more problematically-managed dependencies.

Frontends became more interactive, and as such, you can't really template that interactivity / reactivity away. Hardly anyone uses Vanilla JS nowadays, and thus, hardly anyone can create a template-based website for today's standards.
This is just my opinion though, happy to be proven wrong :)
Arnhem in NL and Riga in Latvia, both cities I spend a lot of time in still have them, but I wonder for how long. They're pretty iconic but every few years there is debate about whether or not it is still worth it. Another problem I forgot to mention is that these systems are not very flexible in dealing with mishaps, you can't overtake another trolley bus so if one has a problem the whole system grinds to a halt. An ICE bus just goes around the obstacle and continues.

But is this really a bad thing? There are bad writers with good ideas, unknown because they can’t write well. And writing well doesn’t necessarily correlate with high quality ideas (you just think they are high quality when you read them).

Who is "we"? There are more websites out there written using template-based frontends (mostly PHP) than the other way around.
That's partly what I meant though, how fast is it at a longer running process? C doesn't require all that much semantic analysis so there usually isn't all that much hot code in the compiler, so it would suit a simple-fast JIT whereas QEMU does do some basic optimizations.

I've only ever really skimmed the TCG source code but it wouldn't surprise me if a new-er JIT could smack it's arse given that with these old C codebases (it's probably one of Bellard's few flaws) it's pretty hard to actually make true architectural changes.

The Java/script (I think more Javascript but I'm hedging my bets by including jvms too) JITs are probably the cutting edge but I'd imagine still quite beatable for a few cases.
In the short run, I’d think it more likely and useful for it to produce sources of factual statements rather than qualify or quantify its own confidence. For one thing, a source is something the user could verify. A confidence value would itself be another assertion the user would have to accept on faith.

I was a classically trained Oboist as a child and I had some excellent teachers, but they only taught me to play and sight read pieces with technical perfection. Needless to say this was not fun and so I quit halfway through highschool. I ended up picking up the electric bass a couple years later and enjoyed it because there were no expectations and I could just learn and play on my own. As a kid lessons can just feel like a chore/school.

I know there's some active work on this (using LLMs, not traditional methods), not on the binary side but on the source analysis side. See https://grit.io/, which tries to detect bugs (and maybe vulnerabilities?) and automatically submits PRs to patch them for you. I think morgante is their contact on HN.

It feels like it'd be difficult to acquire a large corpus of vulnerabilities to train on.
Original homepod was pretty rad. I got one for free and it was the best speaker I ever owned minus siri which I didn’t really care for. The tech they put it with room sensing really made a difference I thought
Pihole just gives tells you what computer made DNS queries and to where.

Littlesnitch/tcpdump/wireshark/glasswire(I think?)/opensnitch are system level tools that attempt to monitor the individual connections - which processes made them, where they were too, and tcpdump/wireshark will also show you the content of the connection.

If malware uses ip addresses or it's own dns server then Pihole will never see it.

Snort and Suricata are more likely what you're looking for as an IDS for something network wide, they analyze network wide the individual connections and can do pattern matching with known malware lists. They can't tell you what process made the request.

A pihole certainly wouldn't hurt and is very easy to use, it's not really made to be an IDS AFAIK.
Are session musicians still a thing?

I would guess that the way music is recorded and produced now, session musicians are much less in demand, but I really don't know. Just seems that the ability to sit down and sight read a part and play it perfectly through in one or two takes is not really needed anymore, when songs are pieced together almost note by note in a computer/DAW.
