A carnivore diet is not necessarily a ketogenic diet, although it is a zero-carb diet. If you eat enough protein then your body will make glucose from it and keep you out of ketosis. But I agree that a diet of only red meat is absolutely ideal no matter which angle you look at it from.

I once attended a workshop by a guy who had been a salesperson for Piano I, Piano II etc books. He noted that sales of those fell off geometrically for each successive book. So he basically advocated/hawked an improv and "fakebook first" approach, as a means to make enjoyment [potentially] primary.

> Now, people that otherwise would never post (on social media, forums, etc) due to not having any knowledge or opinion on a given topic have the option of copying and pasting text back and forth to mindlessly farm engagement.

This is such an odd, hostile way to react to people posting things on the internet that I'm genuinely curious what part of this you have an actual problem with?

Framed another way, what you're describing here is that using ChatGPT is interesting enough to trigger engagement from social media users who are otherwise mostly inactive. If that is indeed the case, imo that is a pretty strong indicator of appeal to a wide audience.

I'm going to try it with my omad diet because I only remember to take my supplements if I do it in the morning, but some are fat soluble, and the zinc can cause nausea on occasion, but if I get any carbs in the morning I get hungry. Some mct oil or light olive oil seems perfect. The toothpaste thing seems problematic. There are some bland ones, maybe I'll switch.

I expect that for a lot of projects/people it wouldn't be hard to send money. Either the project already accepts donations and sends those to maintainers, the person already has donation systems setup, or the person doesn't need the money and ask you to send it to a FOSS charity (like Software Freedom Conservancy) instead, or you send the person and email and they go sure, here is my PayPal/etc account number for transfers. Personally, I'd be very happy with money for paid support though, in my experience its pretty hard to extract money from most open source projects, basically no-one wants to give you cash because the project already meets their needs.

No offense but this comment reeks of bias.

For one thing, if by your own analysis, these companies' interviewing processes aren't effective, there's logically a conclusion that yours also aren't, given that interview processes are fairly similar among big tech companies. I've even also heard of an interviewer trying to tell a director with a straight face that a high level IC candidate (L6/L7 IIRC) from a prestigious big tech couldn't solve a "simple" problem at one of those companies. Leetcode style questions aren't even necessarily good proxies for whether an engineer is actually effective at their job or not (and yes, a good number of FAANGers openly admit here and elsewhere that they needed to grind leetcode to pass interviews at these companies).

Another thing is that Uber and Amazon are fairly competitive w/ other more prestigious FAANGs in terms of compensation. A decent staff eng at Uber isn't going to be very interested in grinding leetcode for a equivalent role at Google, the compensation delta is just not appealing[0]

Where's the ambiguity?

Please show two or more possible ways to parse this code, as I still don't see it.

I see in each case only one way to parse the examples.

An ambiguity in parsing is something like that (in e.g. C++): `a<b>(c)`.

You could read it as an boolean expression `(a < b) > c` or as a call to a templated function `a<TemplateParam>(someType param)`.

But there is only one way to read the above code, imho.

Heyyyyy did someone call tech support? I have some common misconceptions about computers from people who don't work with computers :P
Biggest one is just not knowing names for stuff. I spend way too much time describing icons bc there's not really anyone teaching adults this stuff.

Another one is having disparate expectations for what a computer can/can't do. We can do sooooo much on our phones, but then a chromebook or 5 year old laptop will still run all slow and not work with lots of games, and there's a big disconnect for people with that. I think part of it is because we grew up with home phones and then gradually improving cell phones, but the computers were always significantly more powerful. Now that a very low-end computer and a mid-high end phone appear much closer in function to the average user, I've seen a lot of people who are very frustrated that their mini laptops aren't better. (And to be fair, when I was in college for elementary education I did the same thing and bought a mini laptop to save money.)
I was forced to take classical piano for 6 years starting at age 8. Hated it. Begged my parents to let me quit. They wouldn't.

Then we moved across the country and they said "Ok, you can quit piano."

In my new town I struck up a conversation on the school bus with two kids, one played bass and the other played drums. Said they would get together in the drummer's basement and "jam". "What's this 'jamming' you speak of?" I asked.

They invited me over and we played the one jazz-ish/blues tune I knew. I was hooked. Ran home and begged my parents to let me start lessons again, but this time rock/jazz. Since then I picked up guitar, bass, drums, a little alto sax, and continued studying piano. 40+ years later playing/making music is a huge part of my personal life.

I feel incredibly lucky that my folks didn't let me quit and that I met those two friends.

There is an interesting exchange in Bourdains "Parts Unknown" [1] that he did in Montana where he's talking to a former labor leader and politician from Butte where he says "the company is a son of a bitch, but they were our son of a bitch" (very much worth watching the entire show, but in particular the Butte segment). I grew up in a union family and that held true of the union as well. Something changed in my lifetime (I'm 40 years old) and I really do think it was NAFTA and free trade in general, but also it was the US reaching a terminal state of resource extraction, or at least the level of resource extraction we were willing to tolerate. The two of these weakened unions and worker solidarity and slowed the profit momentum that we had become accustom to and gave carte blanche to corporations to seek local profits in remote places. I think this fundamentally changed the dynamic of being a worker across all industries and, as you allude to, the focus on organizational optimization (coupled with quarterly earnings focused business culture) only heightened the alienation of workers and now the chicken is coming home to roost for the entire American project. Aside from deindustrialization and optimization, I think much of this can be laid at the foot of the stock market and our collective fixation on it as a barometer for societal success.

I don't think the cravings go away exactly; you just layer a mild (defensive?) eating disorder on top. For example, when I eat valueless empty carbs, the waves of depression & the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach prevent me from even tasting it or enjoying it. Winning...?

It's a strange, thin line to walk. Trans fats are unhealthy in any quantity, so I refuse to eat them. But they are still (secretly) all over the place, so in practice it looks a lot like an eating disorder.

The goal is to maximize shareholder value, which is not the same as maximizing short term profits.

Amazon famously did not turn a profit for years as its stock price rose. It was able to do so because the market largely trusted the management.

The reason why the stock market demands profit from most companies is that many, many managers and directors are bad at their job. Demanding profits is a way to keep management disciplined and focused, and avoiding years long boondoggles and fiascos. This is important since they are playing with other peoples money.

Did you respond to the wrong comment by mistake? I don't think this is responsive to my comment.
This isn't really surprising. Even the HN comments for ChatGPT/Stable Diffusion related topics completely drank the kool-aid for a bit. I saw absolutely unhinged blanket statements like "ChatGPT is going to replace junior developers;" "Stable Diffusion is going to destroy the art industry;" "in a few years people will listen to completely AI-generated music playlists on Spotify."

The hype has died down a bit and sanity has been mostly restored to the comment sections here, but holy hell, HN readers are in this industry, they should know better, yet so many were, and maybe are, still fully bought in.

The average VC, or other manifestation of "fool with money", has zero chance. The macro economy aside, it's absolutely going to be a feeding frenzy for the entrepreneurs and grifters who can put together a convincing presentation on how they're making an AI Netflix that will show infinitely generated AI TV shows or whatever.
I’ve collected and played guitar for over 20 years and I am thinking of selling them on now. I may keep one but I am just not playing them anymore. I’ve kind of settled in to the ability to play and remember most chords and a dozen or so songs. I’m no longer writing music with guitar and my fingers just aren’t as fast as they once were. That said I’m having more fun than ever with a handful of synths/samplers/a rhodes and ableton live. I will say that with the caveat that I wish I had the ability to play guitar or any instrument really well

I do agree that better built-in methods should exist that does most of what people have been using useEffect for. Many frameworks come with many tools for specific use cases but react has always left it to the community. If this or new ones are helpful enough, then I’m up to use them. However, your last statement is a bit too presumptuous to assume that not needing useSyncExternalStore means that someone does not need React. I recommend Remix for most apps now if possible, and the number of times anyone needs to use either hooks discussed is very minimal. Remix uses React.

Think your last reply overlaps with the first half of my message. I reach for swr or similar to manage the lifecycle of client side network requests (or any async requests) if necessary. I would imagine that these libraries or new ones adopt useSyncExternalStore internally. If I want to use this hook myself, it seems quite a bit more work to have to write a subscription-based store just to make certain network requests. Many apps aren’t real time either.

Take a single case: analytics. I want it to trigger whenever the page loads (and can’t be done server side for whatever reason). Are you saying that I need the kitchen sink to make this fire-and-forget request? useEffect is fine here. Am I not making an external request well? I just read the useSyncExternalStore RFC. Its primary purpose is to handle external state change in a concurrent environment. Makes sense. Is it to become the default for all “external requests?” Idk. But let’s agree that not all requests require the same care.
