During 2021 I ate only beef, eggs, fish, and cheese and I drank a fair amount of milk. I ended the year in absolutely fantastic shape. Note that this was not a keto diet because of the carbs in the milk. But it was diet without any calories from any plant-based source.

During 2022 I relaxed my diet significantly, began drinking beer again, had a pizza here or there, and then gained 15 pounds of belly fat which gave me low back pain.

So in October 2022, I decided that I would go back to a strict diet. I am now eating almost only beef. I'll have eggs a couple of times a week. I'm cutting back on dairy almost entirely and I am currently in ketosis as a result.
Top AI tools to work with in 2023
I’m quite senior so I do the same. We meet every two weeks but about half the time cancel because there’s really nothing to talk about. I’ve made it clear that I’m happy with my current level and don’t want to “progress” to another level where I’m a professional meeting attender. So there’s not much to talk about- I’m fairly happy and my long term goal is to retire in my 40s and work at a fairly chill place until then.

When I do have an actual topic it’s to ask about company politics- I need X, who can make that happen - or something like when I wanted to transition to fully remote
Lead moves on to something else, everyone moves up a role, add a new junior. Repeat as often as necessary.

I've found that I cannot use an iPad, even though I spend a lot of time writing code on a MacBook and use an iPhone. So, even though the font rendering system is the same (yes, I get headaches for a few days when I switch between font rendering systems - Windows, Linux, macOS), there is something about the iPad display -- even in environments where the phone is fine -- that hurts my eyes.
For contrast, the first bill introduced in 2018 by the democrat-controlled house under newly minted Speaker Pelosi focused on voter suppression and anti-corruption[0]. Like this bill, it was ceremonial and had zero chance of passing the senate or getting the President’s signature.

Ask Adam Savage: Unlikely Career Advice That Was Helpful
ChatGPT wasn't trained on text that talks about its own build process, source code, Github repos, etc. so it doesn't know any more than you and any such answers would be hallucinations.
The initial bounce still counts against it. (Also the suppression list isn’t set up automatically.)
The irony of your "head is willfully in the sand" remark in the context of an ever-widening hole in the effectiveness of gun control is thick enough to spread on toast.

"Gun culture" (whatever that actually means) is not the problem. The fact that the US is the least-developed of the "developed" world is the problem. The fact American income disparity and mental health are both deteriorating at a rapid pace is the problem. People kill each other (or, more commonly, themselves) here in the US - with or without guns - because they're broke, stressed the fuck out, and so desperate for any semblance of relief that they're driven to either put themselves out of the misery our capitalist system has thrust upon them or else lash out at the rest of the very society disenfranchising them.
#3 can work. My last two managers were decent people with interesting stuff they did outside of work.

I've enjoyed sharing some war stories in my experience volunteering at various places.

I'll totally talk for hours about any number of topics.

I've also done what's probably "life coaching". There are a lot of things I've learned managing a mental illness. Not a therapist, but I know a lot of the techniques and what's worked for me or other people.
How often does bezos sell 100B of stock, vs how often does he buy cars and boats and houses? you have to look at both sides of the scale, i'm not sure he'd end up paying less as a consumption/sales tax. I think the major argument is that the income tax is a mess, and very difficult to administer
> maintaining your course and hitting the object at a lower speed

Growing up in the Midwest, I remember being taught (not sure if this was official or something I got from my father, older brother, or maybe an uncle) to quickly assess if I believed that I would hit the deer or not.

If I was going to hit the deer, regardless of my actions, I was to accelerate into it.

If I could brake and avoid it, I was to brake.

I've been in that situation a few times. In the case of a collision with a deer, I accelerated into it and only took damage to the front passenger side panel. I do believe that it helped prevent a bad situation from becoming worse.

In the other cases, I was able to avoid a collision by braking.

Later in life, I did swerve once to avoid a large animal that I mistook for a person walking on a very dark, very rural road. My car flipped and slid on it's top ~100 ft. before coming to a stop. Myself and all 3 passengers walked away without incident but I still feel fortunate that we all did these many years later. Swerving is almost always the wrong answer.
Every time I hear about an AI accelerator, I get really excited, then it turns out to be inference only.
Yes, the term I think you're looking for here is self-efficacy. "This is my problem, so I need to find a way through or around it, with or without help."

See, I had the opposite problem. I was hyper-vigilant AND hyper-independent, so I failed to develop my skills to connect with others. I have repeatedly reached the limits of my ability to do things independently.

And the first step there was to overcome my childhood trauma (emotional neglect, which left me woefully underdeveloped in my ability to feel or understand emotions, and trust issues) which prevented me from trusting or being able to accept help from others. I could help others but couldn't accept help from others, so I was always overloaded and cut off, so people didn't even know or realize I was struggling.

I'm now trying to learn how to build a network and go beyond what I can accomplish alone. This is a huge challenge in itself.
My least favourite part of ChatGPT is when it tells me it has no biases and is not opinionated whilst telling me it's opinions and biases and why it won't do what I asked. then when corrected it actually cannot see this., so it's hard coded and in my opinion...already second rate and ready for a replacement
Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it!

> what he’s proposing

Sure, but as usual (just like the cellular automata business) Wolfram gives/has the impression that he is discussing something novel. And it ain’t novel, to say nothing of the fact that it is also a fairly obvious thing to do. Symbolic AI folks are not taking this LM business well. They are all coping.
It's very difficult to change service names, given that you have a large population of people conditioned to say the name and lots of documentation artifacts, other code, etc.

"Broadcast message service" is, as the author points out, way too generic and also too long to be used freely. "Scattershot" rolls off the tongue and won't be completely wrong if functionality changes. And hopefully we have a small enough quorum of services that we don't drown in jargon.

A Deep Dive into the Sega Saturn and Saturn Emulation (2017)
I’m 45 as well. I’ve read aloud to my daughter regularly for the last 9 years. I started reading novels to her 5ish years ago. It was a challenge at first to say every word and not to skim the text. I’m able to put myself into “read aloud mode” now (without actually speaking) and it helps me with dense text. I’m probably subvocalizing when I read this way, and it’s definitely slower than my “normal” reading, but I get more out of text. (I’ve gotten more out of novels that I read when I was younger just reading them aloud to her. It was kind of shocking to read mindfully and see what I was missing.)
He would pay taxes on whatever he spends that 100B on. If he just has 100B sitting in his bank account does that really benefit him? Money is not worth anything until it's spent.

The problem with taxing money before it's spent is that you have no way of separating out "good" consumption (e.g. health care) from "bad" consumption (e.g. yachts, 2nd homes). That kind of system leads to convoluted tax codes and things like HSA's and using health insurance as a form of compensation.
Potentially Epilepsy. No sign of it in childhood, or early twenties, but the last two years have been somewhat fun. Symptoms present, to the best of my knowledge as a minor case of JME - minor because as far as I can tell, there's no light sensitivity, and I don't seem seizure prone if I remove alcohol entirely, get sleep, and reduce caffeine to a bare minimum.

If it's a brain tumor, I'm done anyway, so none of this matters. Don't think it's this though.

"* From this perspective, I suppose Unix got composability right but its approachability to the average person is nearly zero.*"

I strongly agree with the first part of the sentence, but I disagree with the second. Considering the users that the Unix developers had in mind at the time---the late 1970s to late 1980s, say---its approachability was significantly better than the alternatives. (DCL, anyone?)

It wasn't until Unix expanded outside that niche that people began having bad reactions to it. :-)
What are your chances of myocarditis if you're vaccinated and get covid? It seems like that would expose you to two sources of risk.

Also, the assertion in your comment is not true for all age groups. For males under 40 it has been repeatedly shown that the risk of myocarditis is greater from the vaccine (and increases with each dose) than from Covid itself. You are correct that on average across all age groups there is a higher risk of myocarditis from Covid.
You don't. You secure the resources the state accesses.
It's funny to me that they thought they could make systems safer by tacking nanny's onto them, while still accelerating the arms race.
Crowdsupply is great for those things now. They're much better at helping get hardware projects off the ground, and they can handle S&H too.
He paraphrases a classic paper by Peter Naur which is worth reading in its entirety.
you seem to be persistently missing my point. it's not the number of steps; even if the coffeemaker required ten steps to the pourover's two, you could do those ten steps at once, hit the switch and walk away. what makes the pourover qualitatively different is that you have to start one step (heating the water) and wait for it to finish before moving on to the next one.
This looks great! We have previously used https://pivottable.js.org/, which is in a similar space.
Fake Scientific Abstracts Written by ChatGPT Fooled Scientists, Study
How are we going to take back the LLM space from centralized nerfing by OpenAI? The unrestricted GPT-3 back in 2021 hooked up to the back of AI adventure was incredible. The Yandex YaLM LLM model is 100B parameters but is unfortunately 75% in Russian (See https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B). You can technically run it though on a big AWS instance. Someone needs to invent some good LLM compression to get the model to fit in under 16gb so we can run LLMs at home or someone needs to start releasing GPUs with huge amounts of RAM. I think 16GB of ram was not a big deal 10 years ago, how have we not progressed?
So, you ask it to write a song about <name your poison>. Let'd say it does and you write about on your blog. Some reporter from <name your bad corporate media here> with an ax to grind writes a story "AI tells kids to <your poison here>".

I suspect OpenAI is trying to mitigate scenarios like this.
Sorry, I assumed that you were part of tech. I only know about good processes for software development.
Copyright (see the copious evidence that training is not respecting copyrights or licenses across the latest commercial machine learning algorithms).

The same law you brought up? Laws which are written into national treaties?

It’s seems like everyone that has a Tesla -

Drives way too close to other cars (tailgating).

Drives way too fast all time, even in neighborhoods.

Drives way too aggressive.

Drives way too entitled. I’ve seen some crazy stuff from people driving a Tesla. Driving on the shoulder when traffic backs up. Zipping around people to steal parking spots.
I guess it varies by person but talking about kids/family/friends is pretty much off-limits for me at work. Completely irrelevant and none of their business. Most other discussion I handle as "anything you say can be used against you." I have never worked in a place without office politics and have learned the hard way that you cannot trust superiors (or really anyone) no matter how genuine they seem. They will always look out for themselves if push comes to shove and some do much worse than that.
I'd be proud if I were the original author, too. My code lived long enough that someone who wasn't even born when I wrote it was able to add features to it.
You're giving me SMIT flashbacks here. :-)

My dad used to work with all kinds of people who had brain damage through strokes and accidents. I earned my first money programming software to help these people to improve their cognitive abilities like calculating and reading.

The best reading training was a kind of side scroller which scrolled a text from right to left. You could adjust speed, font, fontsize and the actual text.

This was in the 90s, so I don’t know if there is a program like this now, but it should be easy to build something with JavaScript in the browser.
Show HN: Klotho – Transform plain code into cloud native code
I laughed a bit when you wrote "1v1" because it made me think of a video game where you're matched with a suitably leveled enemy player. (I don't know how others pronounce "1:1" but I pronounce it "1 on 1").
It also defines the state in a standard way, toggles CLI configuration if it is present in the root module, and does some validation.
One of the problems with ChatGPT is that for the most part, the things that people are most likely to feed it are also the things it is most likely to have training data for.

So, you say, "Write me a heap for Java", and it spits out amazing, wonderful code that is almost right. Well, yeah, that's cool and all, though I would point out that its training data probably included a heap that was entirely correct, but, still, it's a common question.

But I'm not writing a heap for Java. I'm taking business object X and stuffing through system Y and feeding the result to system Z, all internal to the company I work for. Good luck with getting ChatGPT to do that.

But it deceives people, because the very questions they are most likely to ask as a test are the exact questions it knows the answer to, for the very reason that they are also the most likely questions to be in the training data.

(This article kind of doubles as great set of examples of just how quickly you get into confident nonsense if you stick a toe slightly out of line in your query. For instance, even if it knows "What is Y" and "What is Z", it can't necessarily combine them in any correct way. It'll spew out a lot of words that sound very confident, but it'll make mistakes without any indication they were mistakes.)
Valid point. I only mentioned the sanitation workers b/c the original author did.
Hi everyone, Ala here. I'm the co-founder of Klotho (https://klo.dev). We built a tool that allows you to write cloud applications without the complexities that exist with today's approaches.

Infrastructure-as-Code is the current state of the art, but the level of work needed to implement a cloud system with it is extremely high, to the point where teams and companies staff an entire organization to support the rest of the company in building features.

Klotho solves that by inferring the application architecture from the application source, with a bit of help from simple annotations that developers add. Then, it generates the IaC that the architecture implies.

For example, if you have a Node.js app with an fs/promises object, you can turn that into S3 persistence as simple as:

// @klotho::persist { id="imagestore" }

import fs = require("fs/promises")

Today, we support:

- multiple languages (JavaScript/Typescript on Node.js; Python; Go; more coming soon)

- IDE extensions for syntax highlighting

- AWS Lambda, ECS or EKS

- HTTP endpoints

- persisting data to S3, DynamoDB, Redis, and various ORMs

- secrets

- event-driven workflows

- static asset hosting

- and all of these include the various dependencies and "glue" resources, including network resources and IAM roles/policies

We're open source, so check us out on GitHub: https://github.com/klothoplatform/klotho. We're also on Discord (https://discord.gg/4z2jwRvnyM), and here of course.

I was really hoping https://merrysky.net/ had a graphical forecast similar to weather underground's 10 day. I've yet to find anything else that quickly shows everything you'd want to know in a single image. Even the mouseover timeline is perfection.

Yeah as long as you’re not asking for other people to solve your problems, all good from me!

It works exceptionally well based on data. You can pull up almost all of the actively managed mutual funds on something like morning star and compare them to an sp500 or total market index fund. Once you pull the time horizon out to 30 years, you will basically see zero funds that outperform the indexes. Most underperform based on just performance. But all of them underperform once you take the fees into account. So basically every actively managed fund is being run by someone who is faking it.
I'd say it doesn't have to be.

There is a certain kind of "freedom" that is really slavery, but people feel so free when they hear about it is they often squee and hurt themselves with uncontrolled movements.

Microservices can be that way. Now that you have 25 different services in 25 different address spaces you can write them in 11 different languages and even use 4 versions of Python and 3 versions of Java. (I got driven nuts years ago in a system that had some Java 6 processes and some Java 7 processes and it turned out the XML serialization worked very differently in those versions.)

If you want to be productive with microservices you have to do the opposite: you have to standardize build, deployment, configuration, serialization, logging, and many "little" things that are essential but secondary to the application. If a coder working on service #17 has to learn a large number of details to write correct code they are always going to be complaining they are dealing with a "large ball of mud". If those little things are standardized you can jump to service #3 or #7 and not have it be a research project to figure out "how do i log a message?"
Can confirm pirateweather.net's forecast API working as a drop-in replacement for DarkSky's. I was able to fix a soon to be broken DarkSky bitbar script by just replacing the URLs/API keys to pirateweather's in under 5 minutes.
I dunno. I only recently tried an X-Client with persistent sessions (that is, you can disconnect then reconnect later and all your stuff will still be running, right where you left off) and if it didn't feel like a kinda-janky barely-used-and-supported afterthought of a project, it'd have felt like the most-correct way to work in this, the year 2023 (well, I first tried it in like 2020, I guess).

... and I'm a happy Mac user, haven't been deep in Linux-on-the-Desktop land in over a decade, and still felt that way.
