People feel like civilization is a corrupting influence nowadays (look at books pointing blame at agriculture for our downfall). That is why Paleo caught on. So I would call it the 'primal diet' to harken back to ye olden golden times. And... quick Google, that's already a thing... and a name for this diet. Great minds yadda yadda yadda.

FWIW, as someone who doesn’t really know anything about LCDs but has messed around with circuits and LEDs, the digression into PWM bridged the gap nicely for me at least. It probably wasn’t necessary from a technical point of view but it helped tell the story.
It may have been silly and counterproductive before the cost of tuition went through the roof, and a 4 year degree became a de-facto requirement for almost all well-paying careers. My dad paid his own way through his PhD working part-time at Friendly's (fast food chain) while my mom was a public school teacher. Good luck doing that these days.

It is my responsibility as a parent to ensure my children are as equipped to prosper as possible. They should not have to endure decades or potentially a lifetime of un-forgivable debt for what has become an almost fundamental requirement to be middle class. Expecting 18 year olds to get a job and pay their own way is no longer realistic unless you are fine with your kids being shut out of most economic opportunities. I hope it'll be more realistic in 18 years, but I can't count on that.

Call me silly if you want, I'm just adapting to the way things are. I'd rather have two kids with full opportunities than four kids with 20% opportunities.

As for the HSA, having seen my mom fight cancer for over a decade I'm well aware of how much healthcare can cost. Even with out-of-pocket max limits, it'll be a while before I feel comfortable not maxing it out.
Ditto. I assumed it would be an article about some catastrophic hardware fault with an AMD-only laptop, necessitating a recall.
ferrocerium is the cheapest of the rare earths, but if we're talking about purified elements, cerium and yttrium are probably cheaper than neodymium

the reason the purified elements are expensive is that they're so hard to separate from each other

rare earth elements aren't actually rare

they're called that because we've inherited alchemical terminology from the 18th century when alchemists were first starting to discover that there were more than four elements, and that in particular there were several different kinds of earth, such as magnesia, silex, etc., and as it turns out things like thoria are in fact quite a bit rarer than silex
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, except maybe to say that Citizen is not acting cynically? If that's so, it doesn't change my opinion that we'd be generally better off it Citizen tanks.
Wild guess: In the last 2 years they probably hired way more than the 15% they are cutting now.

15% which is 100 people in their case isn't even that much, they could have implemented a hiring stop and trimmed low performers over the next 6-12 months ending up with the same headcount.

Wild guess 2: Since they are letting go so few people, they'll do another round in the future.
Thanks for the thoughtful response

>If you were getting that much egg and beef from McDonald’s you would likely be buried in the ground by now.

This is my hunch too, when i really got serious about my diet and health I was worried eating all these eggs and meat was going to cause issues so made sure to get blood tests etc. This sort of started me down the rabbit hole of realizing that almost every single thing I had ever been told about nutrition was either misleading or just flat out wrong.

The gut biome stuff is fascinating to me and it feels like it's so underexplored. Can't wait to see what kinds of things we learn about it.

One reason I don't think i'm as optimistic as you is that it feels like society doesn't want us to understand this stuff. Between the billion dollar companies influencing regulations, massive marketing budgets of these food-poison companies, and then even the populace doesn't want to know the truth. Everyone just wants to cope and complain and do stupid fad diets instead of learn or change anything.

Why is sugar not on your list of exceptions when excessive quantities of it are much more impactful on your health than everything on that list outside of out-right-poisons?

"Taking a provided list at face value" doesn't seem to be the same as "doing due diligence." You don't believe they're doing fraud in advance, you ask the questions that would let you find out if they are - because you know some people have committed fraud in the past.

4 million fake accounts created with a data scientist's help, then "JPMorgan said it learned the truth about Frank after sending out marketing emails to a batch of 400,000 customers. About 70% of the emails bounced back, the bank said in a lawsuit filed last month in federal court."

Nobody did any random sampling and verification earlier? 4 million out of 4.25/4.3M users were fake and you didn't spot it?
I don't think there was so much risk of relying on db behaviour much less bugs. There's a DML standard, breaking it would have had massive consequences far beyond the web platform - we could have relied on SQLite being broadly compatible within the simple INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/SELECT subset (I think more could have been done, but this is enough for a start).

As for DDL, not much was initially required beyond CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW and CREATE (UNIQUE) INDEX (which in practice have a basic common syntax). IMHO the ask was not anywhere as complex as WebGL.
Write a model to do image to text? In the case of things like the Quran pretty much all of it is digitized already so consumable by a model. Other things could be figured out over time. I think for a lot of things this could lead to huge breakthroughs if done right.

Cocoa is object-oriented, but modern APIs not so much. They are of course based on interfaces/traits/protocols (whatever you want to call them) but it’s not the same as 90ies style inheritance-based OOP. It’s the inheritance as basis for behavior is what I want to see gone. But even Cocoa already embraces composition more than inheritance.

> Sure, you can refer to them in explicitly vague terms, like "cloaked figure" or "person". You still use gendered language, only now it corresponds to that of the abstract noun you're using. [...] "room mate", "won", and "recovered" are all gendered, and you can hardly pretend you don't know who they are without looking insane or obviously hiding something.

Right; while English has more ambiguous tools, even in English many speakers will think it's a bit weird to keep using "they" to refer to someone if you do know what their gender and pronouns are. (For many listeners at least), it wouldn't be natural-sounding dialog/conversation for me to describe my sister exclusively with the word "they".

I'm not saying that in casual conversation people would use ambiguous language -- but there are scenarios where you'll have conversations about something you saw where you don't at any point during that conversation have any knowledge of the genders involved, and of course the language has support for scenarios like that.

Agreed that English has more tools for explicit ambiguity; if you see a car fly off a bridge, you can say, "I hope they're OK." But even if you weren't using 'they', you could say "I hope he's OK" in that situation and the majority of people around you would understand that using the word 'he' wasn't a declaration that you knew who was in the car. The movement away from "he" as a default gender in English wasn't because without singular 'they' there was no support for situations where the gender was unknown, it was a movement away from the social/political/moral implications of default gender in society, and later became expanded into a way to explicitly accommodate nonbinary speakers and avoid misgendering.

I got curious about this and tried to look it up, and while the explanations were a bit limited, my takeaway is that it does seem like the Russian language works the same way? If a car flies off a bridge and you use masculine language to talk about the driver, and then later find out the driver was a woman, my understanding is that people probably aren't going to be offended about that or think that you've done something odd? At the point where you learned the driver was a woman you'd just quickly apologize and switch to feminine forms.

I've recently been experimenting with a GLP-1 Agonist (Semaglutide) and it's had in incredible effect on my hunger levels and satiety. I find myself stopping in the middle of meals quite often and simply not enjoying the taste of what I'm eating as much. I wonder what the relationship between the dopaminergic effect of eating described in the article is with insulin secretion, blood sugar and GLP-1. I encourage anyone interested in this topic to look up GLP-1 Agonists very fascinating stuff.

Trouble is, they all are pointing to a different couple of shows.

So I don’t know what your prescription here is. Do you want to just be able to subscribe to SuccessionTV?
> (My apologies to non-native speakers of English; if someone did that to me in German I'd have no clue what was meant).

At least for me it's perfectly understandable (except the "Mrs" part). This reminds of those "did you know you can flip characters randomly and our brain can still understand the text" copypastas that can be found everywhere. I think it's probably quite similar for word order: As long as your sentence structure is not extremely complicated, you can probably get away with changing it any way you like. Just like nobody has issues understanding Yoda in Star Wars.

Although I think there are some limits to changing word order - I can imagine complicated legal documents might get impossible to decipher if you start randomizing word order.

> When an engineer like this proposes something that adds unnecessary complexity, it's usually hard to argue with. The proposed change typically does indeed make the system objectively better, and they're the one taking responsibility for doing the work and ensuring its correctness. But the overall system becomes a little more brittle, and a little harder to reason about, two things that are much more difficult to measure than memory and power.

There's a lot of fine points made here already by other commenters. I will say that long-term maintenance of software is a non-trivial concern. If you can identify that a change is good in terms of, say, power consumption but bad, say, in terms of making the system more brittle you now have an optimization decision. Do you _need_ better power consumption enough to sacrifice developer time long-term, potentially introducing bugs in the future?

> I'm always amazed at how many people flat out get angry with me when I say fast food is simply not cheaper than cooking yourself, provided you have a kitchen.

I think the challenge here is looking at numbers without factoring in reality.

A common scenario in poverty is money isn't available when it's needed. If one has $4 today for food now and will have $4 more tomorrow, their choices are to forgo eating until they can save up the ingredients or buy whatever food can be had today.

They may not use them for everything but the laptops probably don't have much value for the company, not enough to make it worth having them shipped back, cleaned/refurbed, reinstalled, for new employees that may not exist for a while. The way it's framed in the letter is a little odd, but I guess they felt they had to say something other than "they're not worth our time".

This is what boiling a frog looks like. We have had year after year of astounding results. From LSTM horse and cart to Transformer combustion engines in the blink of an eye.

And yet people keep claiming that there’s nothing to worry about, AGI is very far away, it’s all going to fizzle out.

I don’t buy it. I challenge anyone to come up with a quantitative/objective measurement that shows progress in natural language/reasoning is decelerating.

What catches people out is that progress in AI is coming from a very oblique angle. People expect human-like progression of intelligence, from baby to toddler to child to adolescent. In humans basic reasoning develops first, then over our lifetime we learn knowledge to apply our reasoning to. But progress in AI is being made from the opposite direction: start with a model that knows vastly more than any human could ever know, then progressively improve its reasoning ability.

So allow me to make the opposing case. We are seeing a fundamental change in our reality. AGI is coming and it’s coming much faster than anyone expects.

Talk to them about these issues? I think eventually these sorts of people figure out that they have a better time if they use their smarts to understand the problems and design things that are as simple as possible. Ideally you could find someone who is later in their career and has made these mistakes already, but I'm not sure you can prevent people from doing silly things until they are personally burned by doing silly things.

Taking the caching scheme as an example, even if it's difficult to reject caching in general, I think you could successfully push for the scheme to be simpler and code complexity forced on users of the cache to be smaller (the latter you can probably get down to 0).

> In a past role, I got into a debate about code style with the smartest person I've ever worked with. It boiled down to me advocating for more whitespace in his code and him arguing that adding whitespace made the code harder to read. It took a bit, but eventually I came to understand that he is so good at reading code that he just wants it all laid out in front of him as densely as possible. He can effectively run it in his head, as long as he can see it.

> That was baffling to me, I walked away thinking that I must be pretty bad at reading code. I use a very consistent style with long variable and function names, I keep my solutions as simple as I can, and I use whitespace generously to provide visual cues about the code's structure. All of this is to minimize the amount of brainpower I needed to understand my code, so I can put that energy toward thinking about the problem itself.

Denser code favors people who cultivate expertise. Less dense and more regular code favors people who receive a single ticket to edit a feature they have never seen before. Almost all orgs enforce the latter style. It's worth considering what sort of thing the thing is, and what sort of people will work on it.
>Until whatsapp dies. Subway systems run for decades.

Then you upgrade? There's nothing that precludes that the bespoke system won't die and by the looks of it the current system has already died leading to the use of Whatsapp.

Removing equally frequent measures of normal by leaving enforcement checks to discretion is basically a method to create a biased system to target anyone who is suspicious to any authority and confirm every authority with arbitrary biases is a really good judge of character.

We're similar, but I'm not strict keto. I do IF and will often forget to eat. For example, Saturday I wake up, weight workout, train jits for 2 hours, then it's ~12-1pm. If I don't think about eating right then and I get closer to 3pm, I'll just wait until dinner.

Before people say I'm weird and never get hungry, not true. Before IF, I used to wake up in the morning because I was hungry. Early in IF it was hard. But, the body adapts. You push through, and now I feel at my best mentally and athletically before my first feeding of the day.

Also like you, while I don't follow a strict keto diet, I cook most of my meals and stay pretty healthy including rice or potato only sometimes. If I go crazy and have a carb heavy meal, I do end up hungry the next day. Understanding one's body is the advantage of getting old I guess :D

I didn't imply an ASCII mockup by my example. That grid is a way to declare, in form of self-depicting text, where the major components of the diagram go relative to each other. Imagine that every one of the components is a group, and each group contains half a dozen nodes, just as many arrows, and some may even have their own hierarchy.

The point is to pin major high-level parts of a complex diagram, so that as you continue to add, remove or modify the details, the rendered diagram doesn't look completely different every time you change something. This addresses my major issue with PlantUML, in that with any nontrivial diagram, even the tiniest change - such as adding or removing a link, or reordering neighboring nodes, can cause the diagram itself to completely flip, or spaghettify itself.
