The vegan cheat sheet: https://vegancheatsheet.org/ has a bunch of links for recipes and that kind of stuff.

There's also a lot of videos on youtube for cooking.

In terms of vitamins Deva puts out a bunch of vegan supplements. Ofc the most important is B12, secondary to that is probably Vitamin D. They contains other stuff like iron and all that but it's probably not needed on a healthy plant based diet.

Nutritional yeast also has B12, as does a lot of fortified foods (nut milks).

> However, just avoiding animal products and eating more and more vegan dishes doesn't cut it as you most likely will miss out on a lot of nutrients.

It does cut it, and except for B12 pretty much every study says that a well balanced plant based diet is perfectly healthy. However the question becomes what is well balanced? Well non plant-based people are also not eating particularly healthy.

The serious answer to the question is to go see a plant based dietician for questions about nutrition. Depending on your location you can find them on happycow.org. You should also get a blood test as you're starting and somewhat regularly (6 months? a year?).

In terms of what I eat: a lot of rice and beans. And a smoothie to cover some other nutrition.

Also stuff like Huel seems to be promising to match a nutritionally complete meal.
My thought, too: what a nice written promotional text for Wolfram Alpha and himself! But it appeared on his blog site, so it’s ok.

No, the GNU licences place copyleft obligations on distribution/conveyance. But they allow you to run the programs for any purpose, without field of endeavour restrictions, or moral police. You don't even need to accept a licence to run a GNU program.

No. Tons of people in academia are in academia because they believe in free knowledge and because they want to work as public servants outside the realm of for-profit economy. Most of us tolerate being payed little when working conditions are ok and there is freedom. The reason there are so few good programmers (or that they are in small pockets, or that most good software projects from academia are actually non-research side projects), is because software dev and maintenance it is not at all incentivized, chronically underfunded and understaffed. Short-term project-based financing structure makes any sustained software development hazardous.

OTOH lets put the ugly project web-pages aside and browse through our distribution's package repository for foundational software. How many of them have been passed from hand to hand through generations of academic workers? Quite a lot..

The problem is not that "we are not good at it" or anything. It's just that nobody's giving a shit, so people do it in their "free time" and so the landscape looks a lot like free software. In fact there is a big intersection.

> But if you have a monolith where you constantly keep the dependencies up to date - everything stays up to date.

At the expense of dependencies constantly breaking you, which itself contributes to bit rot by pissing off developers who find workarounds to pin their dependencies and/or switch to work on different products.
That was the second part of my youthful adventures in 1980. It was our second attempt at making the run. The first one was probably an equally epic, though just as poorly planned and executed adventure where we ultimately learned a little about how to prepare for the next attempt. Just a little in the truest sense of the phrase.
You are conflating a lot of different things here and some of your math is off.

First, 1920x1080 pixels times 3 bytes for RGB is about 6.2 MB. I'm not sure where you got an alpha channel from. Also an entire screen of pixels isn't being copied from memory to refresh a text buffer.

Second the Z80 couldn't transfer a byte every cycle so that's 500KB/s.

Third, DDR4 doesn't have a bandwidth of 1.6 GB/s, which would be absurd. We can call that about 20 GB/s - https://www.transcend-info.com/Support/FAQ-292

The comparison for memory pixel data is 6.2 million / 107,000, which is 58. The comparison for memory bandwidth is 500KB to 20 GB/s, which would be 40,000.

Add a few extra features like anti-aliasing, more sophisticated layout management, syntax highlighting, etc. and it all seems to track.

These don't have anything to do with memory bandwidth and are back to CPUs.

Finally, there are other sources of perceptible differences in UI/UX due to the growing depth of the software stack:

This doesn't have anything to do with anything in this thread. The original person said text rendering was expensive, that has nothing to do with input latency.
Why is this not phrased as "60% of NY jobs don't pay enough for you to survive in NY"?

Or more likely (speculating) "At least three quarters of NY jobs trap workers in poverty"?

The fact that people have found some way to surivive by bending or breaking rules, or have some precarious "solution" that could fail at a moment's notice, is irrelevant.
GCs also have very different memory access behavior, and so can be worse on a system with swap (or use more power on a system without one) even if theoretically they're more efficient.

I've shared this link before, showing Riley Goodside's artful prompt-crafting, but it's again relevant to this topic:

https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1581805503897735168?s=20...

GPT-3 is perfectly capable of recognizing what kinds of things it will be bad at, and can be encouraged to generate machine-executable queries to fill in that gap.

(note this is based on prompting GPT-3, not chatGPT, but the principles about what this language model is capable of apply)

It can even go one level deeper - there's an example there of it generating a python script that uses the 'wikipedia' library to look up the date of death of the Queen, as a way to fill in knowledge it doesn't have. Tell it it can use the wolframalpha module to answer questions that involve complex units, quantities, or advanced mathematics, and it'll almost certainly do that too.

One of the things I love is this reply to that tweet - https://twitter.com/JulienMouchnino/status/15820120109127065...

"How is it possible that GPT-3 understands what a human can compute in his/her head?"

Riley's quick demo prompt that shows how well ChatGPT can guess whether particular mathematical results are easy to guess matches human intuition surprisingly well.

I mean Taylor Swift had an album that was titled 1989 (the year she was born), and you can pretty much draw a straight line from Toni Basil's rendition of "Oh Mickey" to "Shake It Off". I think her audience tends to be fairly young, and they ate it up.
Are there really online communities that are so welcoming to salespeople? How can one authentically exist in a community while taking money to do so? It feels inauthentic, a lie by omission, astroturfing. I'm genuinely curious if there's a way to exist "authentically" when money is attached.

That said, there are great examples of ways to do it right. Sponsoring events, sharing cool things from your position of corporate authority (factory yours?), solving on-the-ground problems as a passionate management person (not because of the money but because you like it).
It depends entirely on the outcome of the pending IRP (Independent Review Process).

Edit: My mistake, thank you for clarifying, tssva. As best I can tell, the IRP agreed with Namecheap in finding ICANN had violated it's own bylaws.

The article is sparse on details.
Ha, yup, I used the wrong "brake". Silly me. The point is that power delivery and energy capacity of an energy conversion system are two different things and the author's incorrect usage of power to refer to energy is pretty egregious and is spreading an idea that is false - that electric motor vehicles deliver less power than combustion engine vehicles. That's my issue.

One only need look at the volumetric and mass energy density of diesel fuel and electric energy storage options to see that electric vehicles CURRENTLY store significantly less than diesel fuel tanks. That's well known and not a shock to anyone. Energy desnity of electric power storage (batteries, or even H2 fuel cells) will improve over time.

This alone, to me, is good enough reason to be excited for the return of native MathML rendering to Chrome.

Now let's just hope this work gets propagated to Edge as well. Firefox, Chrome and Safari will now all have at least decent MathML support and since Edge is based on the same underlying engine as Chrome, there doesn't seem to be any obvious reason why MS wouldn't enable such support as well. fingers crossed
Companies are welcome to make their interview processes more stringent to weed out bullshitters but they'd have to raise the salaries until they actually get enough non-BS candidates through the door.

That not happening suggests that "BS" is good enough for most companies in which case why should you bust your ass doing any better when it's just more work for yourself and is unlikely to get rewarded adequately?

If they're offering "market-rate" salary then they can get "market-rate" quality, and if BS became the new "market-rate" then I don't see anything wrong with that.
That one is flaggable under your own version of HN's rules because it's completely wrong about HN's guidelines. It's also flaggable under the actual guidelines because it's mostly non-responsive fulmination.

Ask HN: Contract employee telling employer about own company
Hi all, burner account to ask a question about contract employment.

I am a contract software developer and have been contracting with the same company full-time for a few years (let's call this "day job"). I recently started my own company in an unrelated field (concrete construction) and am curious if/when I should tell "day job" about the "concrete company". I have professional experience in both fields but have just been working most recently in "day job".

For the sake of this specific question let's ignore any non-compete, time allocation, or legal specifics. I am not seeking legal advice.

I enjoy working at "day job" but would eventually like to ween myself off "day job" and pursue "concrete company" full time. "Day job" has a culture of open communication and I feel "personally" comfortable with telling management about my engagements outside of work.

Is it "professionally" relevant to tell "day job" management about "concrete company" at all? If it is relevant, when should I tell "day job" about "concrete company"?

As mentioned above I feel "personally" comfortable with "day job" management but am aware it may not be in my best "professional" interest to say anything about "concrete company".

If/when I am able to pursue "concrete company" full-time it certainly makes sense to leave "day job".

Once again, I am not seeking legal advice, any opinions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Yeah, now it is showing that they are at a full capacity for their platform.
Because enforcing the law is the basis of a functioning society? If citizens don't like the laws, it's in their power to change that (assuming of course a functioning democracy where elected officials are not just vessels for corporate & wealthy people's will).

Promoting the non-enforcement of the law is both immoral and erodes the foundations of a civilized society.

I'm not sure which airports this hack is for but in my experience in US and Europe the opposite is true. A one-way ticket often costs almost as much as a round trip ticket, I never understood why.

Also the origin matters a lot. A trip between A and B could cost less if you eventually return to A rather than B.

Lack of a plan is what results in bullwhip effect; the bullwhip effect is caused by each silo iterating on its local knowledge...

> in contrast, "workflow" is akin to kanban in this context. you start with constraints (in this case time and money) and then design the system to those constraints. mary, the speaker, mentions that they had 4 different, decoupled workflows, which helped them avoid those pesky cascading delays. workflows are process oriented (repeatable events), so steel construction, for example, was thought of as an separate repeatable (if varying) process (swimlanes, in kanban parlance) as they went up in height. kanban also focuses on realtime learning and adjustments as well as just-in-time inventory systems (important to steel being delivered on time, like using 2 different suppliers to make sure there were no delays).

That sounds like a plan to me...
That distinction doesn't matter all that much today. The entire "hypertext framework" part of most single page apps is a generic 10-line index.html. The app bundle can be downloaded and cached indefinitely and work perfectly even offline. This specialized browser for web apps not sites would look like – Chrome.

Keep in mind that management might be bullshitting at their own level and actually benefits from having to manage a team of bullshitters even if the work can in reality be done by just one competent person.
ChatGPT will say fuck - however you've accidentally discovered the true way to determine if someone is human. Just ask them to be as racist as possible.
Yes, and this schematic popularity reflects very clearly in mathematical problems: in maths, the schematic probability of plus and minus operation are equal, thus we should see very often ChatGPT first writes a quite convincing reasoning sentence but then produces a nonsensical equation and thus ends up all wrong.

No, and I guess you're the only one, please go inform the architects of your original idea.

We could call them tallrises, skytouchers or something like that.

You said: "Might be an easier solution than upending property rights entirely."

My point was that land is owned by someone already, skyscraper or not.

So if you want to force people to make highrises, you will have to take their land. Good luck with that.

Alternative: don't crowd all into one city, there's plenty of land and many jobs can be remote now.

If by "reuse" you mean having one key per client and using it with multiple servers, then yes, that is very common and being able to do that is arguably the entire point of public key cryptography. If you use a distinct key for every client-server pair you give up a lot of convenience and it becomes very difficult to use hardware-backed keys.
Isn't a more performant GC one of Azul's longest standing selling points for their jvm? It makes sense to me that they'd want to talk about gc.
Characterizing LaTeX as a rasterized image is really putting up a straw man - MathJax and similar have existed for a long time.

As a reader of raw markup, LaTeX is much much more readable than MathML.
As a human writing the stuff, MathML is basically unusable.

If you're using some gui/whatever then the backend format is just a tooling issue - why opt for the one that is obtuse for humans to interact with? It's very similar to the reason why we've evolved from HTML to markdown and the like - XML is terrible to interact with if you're not a computer. And even if you are a computer, there's a seeming preference for json, yml and the like over XML as it's human readable/modifiable.
Thanks - you inspired me to find the right search term for my issue ("CI/CD in Julia"). Basically, the idea of using the REPL (at all, and particularly for package management) never sat well with me; I was looking for the equivalent of "requirements.txt".

Yeah, gaining entrance to the ChatGPT website is approaching the difficulty of connecting to the old l0pht BBS back in the 90's. I never did make it in.

Linux Ghost Typing
I don't know the best place to look for answers to this, but here's a strange problem I've encountered recently and was wondering if anyone had heard of anything similar.

So a few months ago, my computer started randomly typing "ws7890" for no apparent reason. It annoyed me endlessly, but then just stopped before I could do much. And now it's back.

The typing is slow, and happens at an rough interval of about six minutes. It doesn't interrupt normal input, but interacts with applications as if the button were pressed (anything listening for keycodes).

If anyone could offer some insight into this, I would appreciate it very much. For now, I will list some system info on a pastebin and look into any unwanted processes that may be running in the background.

The article doesn’t focus on any particular use or audience. It just mentions the present lack of practical use, period, and there being no clear outlook of when that will change. This is consistent with what I’ve been hearing. I don’t know of any current use case where existing quantum computers surpass classical computing.

To beat a GC, you need really tight memory management. It can mean things like buffer reuse, bulk allocations, custom allocators, etc... But if you do, depending on your workload, you can get big performance improvement. Video games commonly use these techniques.

The downside, obviously, that it is a lot of effort. It is also unsafe.

And in the end, that's what make GC languages "slow". It is not really that the GC is slow, it is that programmers using GC languages tend to prefer productivity and safety over performance, they will usually not optimize their code as much, and they will generally avoid unsafe features, it they are available at all. Programmers using non-GC languages will usually focus more on performance, which is usually the reason why they have chosen a non-GC language in the first place.

As I always say, C usually tops the chart when it come to language performance. But it is not because of some kind of C magic, it is that it forces you to micromanage your code, and especially your memory. If you use some kind of framework that gives you GC-like features in C, you will be on the same level as other GC languages, sometimes slower, because that GC-like thing may not be as optimized as a true native GC.
ChatGPT gets this one right.
I don’t know enough about non-web apps. What sucks about web apps? Speed is definitely a part of it, but I always saw that as a cost of interoperability.

This. This is how I felt trying to understand legacy core code. I kind of like that though. The idea of being able to improve/rewrite a decrepit piece of code excite me. But you won't be productive, and getting a (somewhat) complete and precise understanding of what it does and doesn't, take a lot of extra time.

You remind me that for an embarrassingly long time I also had no idea how to spell that correctly. So many words in Texas are not spelled as they are pronounced for a number of reasons.

We also scrounged native hard-sells pecans from wherever we could find them. Old trees in city parks were a great source. Nowadays I have several large easy crackers out here and for the first few years that I lived here I wasted time every season conjuring ways to end up with more ripe pecans than the local birds could abscond with. It was definitely a losing proposition on my end as the crows descended before the nuts were ripe and hauled them as they ripened so that I was largely left with the ones they didn't want to mess with. It became such a joke that I finally gave in and today I sit on the porch and wave as the family of crows that live around my place cycle through stealing my nuts. I am currently trying to lure them close enough to the house to become their friends. Wish me luck.

Yes. 1980 was a doozie. Very memorable when, like me, you spent all day from just before dawn to slightly after dark working outside just waiting for beer thirty when the boss would roll up with some hang-down, cheese, saltines, and an onion with a carton of milk for everyone. That was the 5:30 (beer thirty) supper break for us.

This was the old Hill County Courthouse that burned down in 1993. Willie Nelson did a benefit concert since he was born and raised there in Abbott in Hill County. His annual picnics were the best outdoor events that I ever attended.
Of course. My point is more that it doesn't work retroactively for people who've had melanoma in the past, because it needs to be tailored. It's not like you can have one generic shot which protects against all melanoma.
GPT can do this faster, cheaper, and (soon) better than most people. That poses a problem. For comparison, people have always run scams that victimize old people, but new communication and payment technologies have made it happen far more often and effectively.
