Tagging changes with messages is a huge plus. Seeing when each line changed instead is another. Being able to group changes into bundles/commits is another.

Even on solo projects with linear history some sort of version control is valuable.

So yeah it looks like I'm searching for what they describe as a 'services-model' where as docker compose is what they describe as a 'deployment model'...

Their idea of always doing a new deployment and leaving the old versions running, so you can always do a rollback is interesting.
I don't know. Seems sensationalist. So I picked one of their referenced studies to look at, and to my untrained eye it doesn't seem to support the paper's position at all.

What it says in the linked article:
HEART DISEASE
In another study, the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, participants who increased their consumption of corn oil and margarine had 86% more heart attacks, and for those aged 65 or older, a higher risk of death after four years

What the linked study says:
Conclusions:
Available evidence from randomized controlled trials shows that replacement of saturated fat in the diet with linoleic acid effectively lowers serum cholesterol but does not support the hypothesis that this translates to a lower risk of death from coronary heart disease or all causes. Findings from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment add to growing evidence that incomplete publication has contributed to overestimation of the benefits of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid.

Prescription eyeglasses: $700. I was tired of tracking down cheaters all the time so decided to get "real" glasses I could leave on all the time. Big mistake.

I got the kind that are bifocals w/o any lines. I didn't really understand what I was getting. They made the glasses, asked me to read a small card about 3" wide and 4" tall, and I could read it fine. Then when I got home I tried to read a computer screen with the glasses. Forget it - it was impossible! Wearing the glasses while moving made me feel sick because all the walls in a room seemed to be moving.

The bifocal part of the glasses was still a small circle, like on old prescription glasses, but w/o the lines. So to read a book for example (much wider than the 3" index card they had me read before accepting the glasses), I had to move my head from left to right for every line on the page. Same for a computer screen.

I put them in a drawer and never wore them. To solve the cheater problem, I bought different kinds for the kitchen (higher power for reading ingredient labels), bedroom (for book reading), office (computer), pocket (menus and grocery), and piano (half height so my fingers don't get magnified). I can get cheaters for $5/pair and usually buy 5 or so when I find ones I like.

Cheaters (for me) work way better than prescription glasses.

Doing "negative" pullups also helped me build up from zero to a max of about ten regular pullups in one set. Unfortunately I took a long break from strength training and can now barely do 1-2. Was just thinking of going back to negatives to start rebuilding my strength.

How do you determine which seconds are actually safe to take your eyes off the road? If this can't be answered definitively, the answer is you should never have your eyes off the road. And if your answer is, 'I've done it heaps and I was fine', that's simply survival bias.

If consciousness is substrate independent, it can never be embodied like we are. If evolution explores solution space regardless of what science understands, it's likely minds operate on laws of physics that aren't appreciated yet. It's possible that having experience requires being real. As in the computable numbers are a subset of the real numbers, and only real life real time implementations can experience, because the having of experience can't be simulated.

Here's a relevant bit from the article:

> More generally, we acknowledge that positions on ethics vary widely and our intention here is not to argue that computational theorists who accept these implications have an irreconcilable ethical dilemma; rather we suggest they have a philosophical duty to respond to it. They may do so in a range of ways, whether accepting the ethical implications directly or adopting/modifying ethical theories which do not give rise to the issue (e.g., by not relating ethics to the experiences of discrete conscious entities or by specifying unitary consciousness as necessary but not sufficient for moral value).
Absolutely! I did keto for a while: I was literally able to have productive 12+ hour days that way. Having perfectly stable blood sugar (or rather the lack of it) did wonders for my concentration.

The downside: I lost too much weight, got terrible keto rash, and had constant bad breath. Also no social food events at all.

I’ve since settled on a mixed diet with lots of animal protein and whole grain carbs. This is a sustainable compromise that still positively influences my ability to focus and my physical performance.
If your opening paragraph presents only a vague correlation then I'm going to suspect that the rest of your evidence is even more tenuous and not bother reading on.
> But why would the average developer want to?

As for myself, I don’t like GitHub UI, which is slow, has low information density, and is generally lollipop-like; and its social media aspect, which often turns the bug tracker into a Twitter equivalent with viral bugs, emojis to cheer and boo people.

So I set up a cgit instance for myself. Patches can be sent over mail as attachments generated with git format-patch (attaching files to mails isn’t hard). Issues can similarly be sent over mail and described in a BUGS file.

That’s sufficient for my single person projects. Probably also for n-person projects for small values of n (let’s say 7). Past that I’d set up a Gerrit instance, which IMO has the best UX of all code review tools available, free or not; and a Redmine for ticket tracking.

It's not healthy to find yourself getting angry at decisions made by random open source projects. I really doubt anyone working on that has as strong opinions as you on what the file picker looks like, or they would have written one themselves by now. None of these projects owe anybody anything anyway, that's kind of the point of open sourcing things for free without any warranty.

I've never seen poop included in the "calories in, calories out" diet talk, which seems strange. The argument for it is it's a 0 sum game, but they never mention poop as part of the equation. There seems to be an assumption that all food is absorbed at the same rate and across all people. Seems unlikely to me.
In weight training this is also referred to as "tempo" and can be expressed as a set of 4 numbers. Eg: 2 - 0 - 4 - 0

Which would mean: 2 second up, pause 0 seconds, negative for 4 seconds, pause 0 seconds start again.

Adjusting the tempo is a big part of most advanced training schedules.

If you do any training beyond simple resistance training I feel like you would encounter the concept. It's very old.
Current settings according to BIOS:

Target CPU Speed: 3400MHz

Target DRAM Frequency: 800MHz

Target FCLK Frequency: 1800MHz

DRAM timings: 19/20-19-19-19-39

(The DRAM CAS# Latency setting is set to 19, but "CHA" and "CHB" show 20. I don't know what this means exactly.)

So I think you're right, scns. I was not getting the best performance.

---

I changed FCLK to 1900MHz and re-ran the Linux C++-vs-Rust benchmarks. Some results:

build+test w/o deps: 1847ms Rust, 1874ms C++ --> 1801ms Rust, 1837ms C++

incremental test-utf-8: 288ms Rust, 358ms C++ --> 280ms Rust, 350ms C++

So I did get a performance win for both C++ and Rust builds by fixing my FCLK. Thanks!

Just like the Harry Potter Encyclopedia can refer to Harry Potter characters without a license, an adventure should be able to refer to entries in the PHB or Monster Manual, as long as it doesn't directly copy significant amounts of text.

There are safe ways to do hypertrophy with weights if you manage volumes and exercise selection well. I've been training in bodybuilding, powerlifting and powerbuilding styles for the last 18 years and have barely had any problems. Conversely, I've also trained in bodyweight/calisthenic styles and have had problems resulting from overuse, as I was cranking up the volume to make up for the lack of resistance.

I don't think a style of training is better than any other, people can get outstanding results or get injured in all types of practice - it all boils down to the program detail and the individual.

What works best for me in terms of maximizing wellness is low-volume (3x3 or 3x5), high intensity (but not too high) strength training with compound lifts, a few accessories (rotational, abs, rear delts, etc.), plus any cardio that's not heavy on the joints.

> the ghost cities of China actually show how this can go wrong

Except most of them filled up and now it's just another one of these Chinese misconceptions in the west that of course isn't newsworthy to clarify. Pudong was a prominent example a decade ago and is now a thriving financial hub.

Very much a case of build it and they will come, whereas us in the west seem to require significant undersupply and rampant social problems before we even talk about building housing or infrastructure to meet basic needs.

There's nothing wrong at all with overbuilding.

I keep seeing talk of artificial consciousness with nothing more than a vague outline of what said "consciousness" would entail, or a hand-wavy "we'll know it when we see it." This is, of course, not that surprising considering we don't have those answers for our own consciousness.

At this stage I'd say we're way more likely to end up developing a system that can trick us into believing it is conscious, à la LaMDA and Blake Lemoine, than an actual conscious entity (whatever that means, exactly). And, if that were to happen, I don't think we'd have a way of knowing that's the case. We could just carry on believing we created artificial consciousness because our not-at-all-conscious robots are too good at saying the right thing with the right prompt.

There’d still be a market for optical vinyl readers — a playback mechanism that didn’t degrade your mint copies of old LPs would be treasured by a lot of people. The old laser turntables never caught on due to the expense — $10,000 a few decades ago, in those dollars at the time — and due to dust and other imperfections causing severe audio glitches that wouldn’t show up or would be less severe with a stylus. These problems should be solvable with current technology, though.

When there are cars in sight, I'm not 100% sure but I still cross because I've developed judgement about the situation and the risks are acceptable.

> Ditto for FFT. Large language models are not that.

They're not, but the "giant table of token frequencies and associative keywords" reminded me of doing FFT on images, and I wanted to communicate the idea that transformations like this can actually retain the original information, and reproduce it back through inverse transform.

> by which I mean, LLMs are lossy encodings, not lossless encodings

Exactly. And while I doubt most training data is recoverable, "lossy encoding" is still a spectrum. As you move away from lossless, it's not obvious when, or if at all, the result is clear from copyright of original inputs' author. Compare e.g. with JPEG, which employs a less sophisticated lossy encoding - no matter how hard you compress a source image, the result would still likely retain the copyright of the source image author, as provenance matters.

I have a large 'archive' hard drive on my computer which is 'write once, keep forever'. Periodically, as that hard drive gets filled, I replace it with one at least twice as large.

I have music on there that I have never listened to. I have browser-bookmark lists that contain links that are probably non-existent in today's World Wide Web that I never visit.

I have program files that I wrote 40-odd years ago. I have program files from my first computer that I assembled back in 1978 from a huge box of components and which were written by a 'Home Computer' manufacturer that has disappeared 40-odd years ago from the face of the Earth.

I have books that have hung around on my bookshelves for decades before computers were a glint in my eye.

I have audio files which were transcribed from analog audio cassettes, LPs and 45s. Ditto for thousands of photos.

And that hard drive gets redundantly backed-up every day, "just in case".

Why do we do this? I have no explanation, apart from the standard FOMO that I will no longer be able to listen to, read, see, or run something which might no longer exist in my world.

It's my understanding that firecalc uses only US data. Japan has "lost decades" of price-weighted, non-dividend returns that are flat since 1988 (Nikkei 225). Seems worth considering that some version of this has some future probability of happening in the US and hedging that.
