Since May, I have (very deliberately) put on ~16kg of mass, going from a BMI of 17.5 to 22.8.
Started at around 2500kcal/day, currently at 3500kcal/day.

> I could not overeat to save my life

You are likely eating the wrong foods. It is _highly individual_ what kind of food can people eat in large caloric quantities. Start calorie tracking and experimenting more, you can figure this out. Some people do well with oatmeal (tastes like soggy sawdust to me), some with various nuts (peanut butter is a fitness industry staple), others make themselves milkshakes etc etc.

Progressive overload is key here, don't just expect to start eating 4000kcal/day, it is not going to happen (and would not be productive anyway).

> I cannot concentrate with a meal in my stomach

Same here. I feel like eating makes me lose about 10 IQ points, not great (though I am at a place in life where I can make this sacrifice). Maybe more sugar would be helpful here.

A1111 did the following things:

- Made a mod removing all non-white characters in a video game.

- Put black people and artists who draw black people in a category/folder called "n".

- Is allegedly also anti-semitic but I don't think the "((()))" thing is proof of that.

I don't think there is anything Micro$ofty going on. Just a racist being banned.
> I find it hard to reconcile that with free speech

I don't know what to say - if you're expecting "free speech" somewhere that has a big TOS you agreed to which doesn't say "hey this is the free speech zone, go nuts!" then you are in for a shock.

The Little Mermaid is an film for kids. Kids aren't "woke" - the only people who care about the skin colour of a fictional character in an animated film are adults. If someone's upset because they see a black person, they might want to take a deep breath and think really hard about what's really bothering them.

The expectation from a cloud storage is that it's yours. They are not supposed to help themselves to your files in any shape or form. If the big could providers start breaking this unspoken promise to save on content acquisition costs, people will lose trust in the cloud.

Alyx has potential but I can’t play it for long because I get sick. For me, that game would work better as a traditional console title.

And I 100% agree with you about VR being here. Meta has sold something like 10 million headsets. VR is here and it’s doing well. It’s probably not going to overtake other forms of gaming and that’s okay. It doesn’t have to. Ten million users means it’s a big success.

https://theconversation.com/hate-the-peer-review-process-ein...

This article mentions Einstein being offended that his paper was submitted to peer review by Physical Review, and submitting it elsewhere instead:

"We (Mr. Rosen and I) had sent you our manuscript for publication and had not authorised you to show it to specialists before it is printed. I see no reason to address the – in any case erroneous – comments of your anonymous expert. On the basis of this incident I prefer to publish the paper elsewhere."

I just recently ended up there via this blog: https://experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/the-rise-and-fall...

which argues, not unconvincingly IMO, that peer review is a failed experiment which tries to stop bad science at the price of also stopping brilliant, unconventional science, where instead we would profit more from letting the scientific public do the sorting instead of hand-picked specialists. The author phrases it as science being as strong as its strongest links, not as weak as the weakest one, and we should do everything to get the brilliant crazy ideas.
Different OP. That was a Mastodon conversation on the topic, this is a full article.
They literally got nothing to lose and they can just go "oops, we saw X in the repo and banned by mistake".

There's just no way this is a mistake. I don't believe for a second their internal review systems don't have any safeguards against banning extremely popular repositories without manual oversight, because they must have these safeguards. Other open source repos probably get spurious reports commonly.

These systems always have popularity thresholds for manual oversight because as something gets popular, it gets false reports. It's just fact of life.

Any manual oversight would easily recognize what's going on and would never ban extremely popular repo for a random transgression of its creator in other repo. Not without consulting a manager.

Our legal system is really expensive, not sure if it is a good alternative to this. And perhaps you can hire a lawyer to sue them when they ban you, they will have to explain the exact TOS violation in the court I think?

My biggest problem nowadays is not display hardware but content.

The experience of acquiring content is terrible - I have to browse many various storefronts which only have subsets of the content I might want and then pay money to "buy" media knowing full well it's ephemeral and will eventually get lost when the company shuts down, discontinues their service or closes my account for an alleged violation of ToS.

Back in the day I used to pirate and watch tons of stuff as a result, but ironically despite my disposable income rising to a level where I don't need to pirate I pretty much gave up on watching movies at home.
> The Slack incident report doesn't specify what type of Github repos were accessed, so it is hard to judge if any sensitive code has been leaked.

This is so important. Saying “less than 1% of code” is not very useful as a passwords or config repo being leaked may only be a few bytes. It’s also not customer data. But it’s extremely important.

I think the fact that they are being not forthcoming means they are clueless, or something really bad happened and they are weaseling and hoping nothing bad happens (spoiler: it will).
I'm not sure I see how that was well intentioned? The developer releases a mod that removes non-white people from the game, and then two years later releases two other mods that "equalize" the situation by removing all races except one. I struggle to see what evidence of good intentions you're seeing in that quote.

>I find the world of forgeries fascinating because it speaks of the human mind, how our desire to make something real blocks our perception and any kind of critical thinking.

Not just forgeries but modern claims like Salvator Mundi were legitimized by a small circle of experts and whales that wanted headliners.

Fine art is very much like crypto, a wildly speculative asset controlled by a small inner market that is prone to criminal activity.
This is incorrect. It’s not hypothetical, is fully possible, and is very much in the scientific arena. Evolutionary game theory, among other tools, has been used to demonstrate that it's highly probably that human beings do not perceive objective reality as it truly is. See “The Case Against Reality” by Donald Hoffman.

Edit: more precise language.
Circumstantial evidence is real evidence. People get convicted over it regularly.

People in the Jim Crow era were convicted without evidence, or had exonerating evidence hidden by racist law enforcement and prosecutors. It’s hardly the same.

This is awesome! No wait, helium would cause this super-efficient heat pump to cost more than it is worth and put a strain on areas where helium is needed, like MRI machines, which are already having issues due to the increasing rarity of helium.

The package is available in Alpine so I tried it out. It seems to work best if the terminal is using en_US.UTF-8. My default is C but I have a function to set UTF-8. I was curious if it could handle stdin and it does. It saves the output in ~/.config/lnav/ something to probably add to my clean up script. It is convenient that it can prepend timestamps to logs. I could see this being nice for people that do QA on build logs all day or that have to debug access logs often. If used with sensitive data one should probably add a shell function and log rotate scripts to clean up ~/.config/lnav/ using the shred command.
Well, nobody is upset over it except GitHub cuz y'know, it's still pretty blatantly racist.

GitHub probably doesn't want to be seen hosting that shit because they're a company with business agreements and other businesses tend to start side-eyeing you and leaving you for competitors if you don't take action when people report racist stuff to you. (Usually because not cleaning that stuff up tends to be indicative of worse problems not being actioned on). GitHub in specific has a pretty nasty skeleton in the closet that they would really rather not have attention drawn to (their ICE contract, which has cost them several other contracts and has typically cost them about a third of their workforce every time it gets renewed), so they tend to be far more proactive in cleaning up that sort of thing.

Their TOS probably has a line forbidding this sort of mod from being uploaded and someone probably just filed a report to GitHub about it breaking their TOS or someone from their T&S team happened to find it while checking up on Automatics repositories.
I'm very surprised they make this a feature for authors, rather than a feature for users.

As a user focussed feature, it could read any audiobook out loud, and would differentiate apple books from any other audiobook platform.

I guess it's aimed at authors, because then they can charge the author for the 'narration' service....
> I mentioned those things as examples of tradeoffs where the benefit outweighs the ecological impact. “Doing nothing about the environment” is a complete strawman that you made up for some reason, it certainly has nothing to do with anything I mentioned.

I keep asking, over and over, for you to give examples of tradeoffs where the cost/benefit goes the other way, but you steadfastly refuse to elaborate. All you do is complain that I'm misunderstanding you, while never elaborating on your view. If doing nothing about the environment is a strawman, then why don't you go ahead and explain your non-strawman position?

> I don’t think I’m making a particularly nuanced point either

You're not making any point. That's my point. You apparently just want me to say "You were right, Phil, and I was wrong", despite my not even knowing what the heck you're supposed to be right about, except the totally vague, handwavey "tradeoffs exists".

Ok, fine. Tradeoffs exists. Are you happy now? But that doesn't really get us anywhere or change anything in the argument.

You asked, "How do you plan to provide food, energy, housing, and health care to eight billion people?" Can we feed and house an unlimited number of humans? No. Can we feed and house the current number of humans? Yes, I believe so. We already produce vastly more consumer goods than is necessary for this basic purpose, but we refuse to distribute them equitably. In any case, if for some reason we can't adequately feed and house the current number of humans, the answer is certainly not Mars, which doesn't support human life at all and wouldn't help even a tiny bit to feed or house current Earth humans. The cost of feeding and housing a human on Mars is, as it were, astronomically greater than the cost of feeding and housing a human on Earth.

One answer would be population control, strictly limiting new births. There's a tradeoff for you. But as I already said, I don't think the basics are really our biggest problem: "We have rampant, insatiable consumerism..."

Wow, why not ethanol heaters or something similar? Volvo did that several years ago in one of their first EV buses.
More than that though. Modern science research is a highly hierarchal and managed enterprise. It's led, or at least its funding is controlled by, the risk averse managerial class who can only think it terms of returns on investment.
Fun fact: peer review isn't gatekept. There are peer reviewed young earth creationist articles out there: https://www.cnet.com/culture/creationists-launch-peer-review...

So "peer review" isn't holding back kook theories at all on its own. At best, journal prestige is bolstered by it, which the journal can then translate into holding them back. The track record is a bit unclear, though.

It's pretty much the same idea as "compute in memory", which is generally considered good wrt. memory bandwidth per performed instruction. Keep everything as local as possible, don't go through a costly Von Neumann bottleneck between a powerful CPU and a large, sparsely accessed RAM.
I disagree, at least in math there have been many instances recently where laymen (with a PhD) found some new and exciting results[0] and got to publish them, and I don't see why it would be any other way in physics.

It depends, as always, on the threat model you are trying to defend against.
Probably. Just checkout how much fallout RMS generates when sharing his opinion outside software domain. It will be always weird, to kick original autor from project, but it happens from time to time.
License/copyright for written form of book is different than the read form.

Author might sell the book rights to company X and audiobook rights to company Y. Company X can't do a text to speech version of their book without infringing on Y. Y cant do speech to text of their version without angering X.

Licenses are fun!

No you're right, there's not going to be a mass exodus because of one mod. However if GitHub became known as the 8chan of git where anything goes, that would likely cause a slow decline that would be difficult to turn around. The way you prevent that is by drawing a line and saying that if someone crosses that line they're gone. I guess they've deemed this user to have crossed the line.

Whenever I see "virtue signalling" or "free speech" mentioned regarding tech companies like GitHub, Facebook, Twitter etc it's usually someone pretending they don't understand how companies work (and ironically doing their own little form of virtue signalling). Companies want to make money. You don't make money by pissing off the population. GitHub seem to have decided that allowing a user they've deemed as questionable is going to piss off more people than kicking that user off. If you don't like it and want to exercise your freedom of speech and/or signal that you're more virtuous than the rest of us then you are welcome to self-host or try out GitLab, BitBucket, sr.ht or CodeBerg.

They can ban the offending repo. They are either extremely incompetent or malicious, either way I'm totally avoiding GitHub from now on. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

Looking through roughly 100 of the same comment in this thread, I think the singlemindedness of the concept of "music" was a problem for many.

Theory and composition don't require performance ability. Transcription or mixing are other choices for people who have great ears and technical ability but perhaps poor biomechanics or dexterity. The playing of music by oneself is only one pillar of many in the vast field of music, and yet the way we do it is such an unappealing gauntlet of private "use it or lose it" that what child wouldn't rather be elsewhere with friends?

Put another way, I think capable, broad-minded teachers are the greatest barrier to producing capable musicians.
The answers seem to have aged quite well! Apple specifically say that this is designed as a complement to human narration and not a replacement: some aspect of that is Apple protecting relationships with the audiobook industry, but it’s also fair to say that the humanness of human narration is still unmatched by text-to-speech. For many people, high quality text-to-speech will be good enough to enjoy but it doesn’t seem likely to be an audiobook replacement today.

That said, I suspect it’s less of a technology issue and more cultural: the current generation growing up on robot audio will have different expectations to previous generations, the lack of humanness probably isn’t an issue for them, so even if the technology can never exactly replicate the humanness of audiobooks, it may not matter.

(The text-to-speech on TikTok, for example, is often lampooned by people not of the TikTok generation for being disconcerting and annoying, whereas young people seem to have no problem with it… and that voice is much more artificial sounding than these Apple examples).
Great point.

We also need to legislate against walled gardens to let other technologies flourish.

Breaking down companies would also be great. YouTube has been mostly crappy but operated at a loss , only alive due to backing by the Google colossus: how do you compete against that?

Apple is big enough they could just tell authors "here is our new narration feature for users. If you don't like it, pull your books off our platform.".

No author is going to win a twitter flame war because they don't want a 'speak it out loud' button provided by apple on their ebooks.

Besides - all ebooks on Apple platforms already support this via:

Settings → General → Accessibility → VoiceOver → ON turns on the VoiceOver feature

This is just a higher quality version of the same.
