Some might say that you got it backwards and this would be preferably your "normal".

First thing I'd do would probably be to document in detail what you're eating on those days and if any pattern emerges. Try eliminating things, if there is any pattern. Sounds a lot like lactose intolerance to me. I used to have it, but managed to get rid off it.

Eh, I'm not sure about that, really. If you're already on Twitter, you can follow the people who've migrated over with movetodon or similar, and discover people that way. How often do you browse the Twitter global timeline, after all? (Is that even possible anymore?) On Twitter, and on Mastodon, you largely discover people based on what the people you follow do.
Recently, for the first time in my life, I took probiotics after a course of prescribed antibiotics.

I don't need coffee any more to function and I finally feel full after eating - strongly so even.

If it's really the probiotics, then I regret never taking them before - especially after antibiotics.
Ask HN: OSS license that only allows personal use
I've been thinking about making the source code available for some of my proprietary SaaS projects, but I'm not sure what license makes sense.

Here's roughly what I'd want out of the license:

1. The source code can't be used for commercial projects. I know this would be difficult to enforce, but having legal remedies for this in some jurisdictions is better than nothing.

2. People who contribute to the project would not own the source code. I know this stinks, but the way I look at it is if there's a bug in some proprietary software I'm using, I'd like the option of looking at the source code to fix it, and giving that commit to the owner/maintainer of the repo if it means I can have software with my bug fixed.

3. The license could allow people to self-host their own instance, but again, only if it's for non-commercial use. Ideally there's some remedy for if the company goes bust or in a direction the user doesn't like ... they could keep hosting it.

What existing type of license most closely matches this? Has anybody worked in a project with such a license? I can think of a few ways it would backfire, but hearing it from somebody with experience would be way better.

The intent is that I can continue to own the SaaS code while letting others fix things and self-host, if that's what they want to do.
I haven't gone through this in detail yet, but I love articles like this. I've always wanted to see some tidier theory around neural networks to help guide my intuition when working with them. It's nice to get more insight into what the heck these emergent things we build actually look like, and how they manage to work so well.

It's also interesting that neural networks with sparse neurons start to look a bit like decision tree outputs. I suppose the big difference is that e.g. gradient boosted trees are built greedily one tree at a time, while neural networks are built all at once.

> The poor efficacy of DMSO in assisting drug translocation through skin

Oh yeah, for the observer gallery: The reason DMSO (and DMF, DMAc, HF, to an extent haloforms, and polar aprotic solvents in general) are dangerous is that they can dissolve and transport small molecules (under 1000 daltons, possibly more) through your skin and into the bloodstream. They go straight through nitrile, vinyl, and latex gloves. You need to match the glove to the solvent. For these strong solvents, you want aliphatic polymers (LDPE) or laminates (mylar aka aluminized polyester).

Actually one of the best protection schemes is the shoulder-length polyethylene gloves used for ...ahem... bovine obstetrics, with nitrile over that for grip and to keep the cow glove in place. Looks hilarious but great for pouring nasty solutions or weighing dusty powders.

Main differences are:
- Gemini is conceptually simpler (no difference between map and text, straightforward URLs)
- Gemini is easy to write (unlike gopher maps)
- Gemini has mandatory tls (which may or may not be an advantage)

But Gemini was created from within the Gopher community and there are very strong links between Gemini/Gopher users. Most Gemini browsers are also Gopher browsers.

With a spacecraft big enough to live in, we are talking of a time frame not too different from the one from the age of exploration by sea. I have no doubt many people would want to take such a trip even if it takes 10 years to get back to earth.

Unmanned spacecrafts would be able to go much faster, sustaining more dramatic accelerations. So getting cargo and robots there for support would be way faster.
Ask why you want to host email before doing so.

Since almost all of the people you correspond with are sending from Gmail or Office365 or <insert other oligopoly provider>, there is no email security anyway. Sadly.

Yes, that was the whole point of my second sentence.

Glad this is the first comment.

What's shocking about it is he believes the false dichotomy of either pursue a healthy lifestyle or engage in modern medicine.

Why not both? Eat your veg, go for a run and have the MMR vaccine.
The fact that one needs to google the list and even then may still fail to answer is kind of the point. The struggle to give an answer is the actual answer.

This myth that children's ideas are somehow more valuable that adult's is nonsense. If this was true, businesses would organize and act on it. Parents would be hired to bring children into brainstorming sessions. Filled idea diaries would be sold and bought in bulk. Sponsored kindergarten and school networks would be established to gain access. Children hackathons with prizes would be held every day of the week. Video games would be designed to siphon ideas.

None of this happens. Because the reality is: children are great, their ideas are useless, most beautiful genius things in your life weren't invented and designed by a child or a nameless enlightened being in a tropical bungalow, but by a perfectly boring adult at their desk in their work time.
It is, but I'm not one for hyperbole.

Let's assume all that is true. Still, shit breaks, and all branches off the main have to be valved separately. With the current setup, contamination (e.g. by sewage) of a branch couldn't be isolated from the house. That is not acceptable.

Agree. I suspect that this is the short/medium term application for this tech.

One basic but effective demonstration I’ve seen was summarising a 30 minute talk on YouTube into dot points.[1]

I watched the video and read the summary afterwards and was almost completely satisfied with the summary.

At scale, the flexible compression and expansion and navigation of information is potentially huge … like Google Maps for the internet.

> a disk is the only thing that “regularly” fail

You must not be familiar with Xbox 360 failure rates. The solder in your GPU was going to fail long before the hard drive.

The moment I actually sat down and played with one of those “isomorphic” “frameworks”, which was not too long ago, the whole thing immediately made sense to me.
It is. Running a container on a virtual instance is a one-man/couple of hours job.

Making a change impacting user experience in a product like Medium is a months-long/multiple comitees process.
Appliances that ever need to grant privileged access to an external party (ex. manufacturer webserver or support) should have a physical switch for disabling that capability.
Anecdotal but I used to be a die hard Xbox guy. After the 360 I got really lost on the naming scheme. I want to buy an Xbox but I have no idea which one is the latest. Is it the Xbox Series X One? Or the Xbox X Series X? no fucking clue

I know, I can do like 5 minutes of research and find out. But I don't care THAT much. If I knew it was called an Xbox 5 I could use that time researching on just going to Amazon and buying it instead.

Also, my friends have all gotten older and they're no longer on an Xbox and are using Nintendo switch/phones as their casual gaming device.

There’s nothing saying AIs have to have text input, it’s just the method with the lowest friction of imagination. That’s why books of text have been around for so long.

There are already AIs that take input via image, video, and audio. The AI tech is input agnostic and only requires that someone figures out a way to get the input in.

I dont think simply putting on the reciept is a solution to #3, because people internalize pricing and make the choice to buy before the transaction. it would only work if the before Tax and After Tax price was displayed before purchase.

Anything less is still hiding the taxation IMO

Also I am intrigued by the people that say they are "Having to memorize the tax rates in every city" and "apply those accurately on the fly" I am not sure I have ever in my life needed to that? Why would you need to calculate that on the fly? Unless you are buying a big ticket item costing thousands of dollars then the tax should not be a factor on if you are going to buy X or not so what purpose would it have to calculate it in your head like that?
This takes you to 0.99C, how feasible is that (thinking materials more than anything)

I'm not part of your collective nor social contract. I do pay use taxes and fees for public goods such as roads.

When did society get the responsibility to bail out the high-paid bankers who failed in 2008/9? Occupy wall street didn't think we should bail them out.

Soft vs hard means what? More like a slippery slope until too big to fail bankers are rescued by the working class collective.

This clarifies a bit the dispute about AMD's settlement about the core count lawsuit. The one FPU per cluster of two cores is what I've always thought decided the case, and observations like these continue to point out that the two individual integer cores didn't share enough to impede either's resources:

> When running two threads in the module, Bulldozer can provide twice as much
> L2 bandwidth. That suggests the L2 has separate paths to each thread’s
> load/store unit, and lines up with AMD’s publications.

I never knew that the 32 nm process had so many issues. They certainly were never as bad as the 90 nm issues, but perhaps after all the noise about 90 nm, problems with 32 nm just weren't worth writing about in the news.

I wonder if my specific needs just matched the Bulldozer CPU particularly well, because I didn't see any significant advantages in Sandy Bridge over Bulldozer. Then again, I was running four concurrent but separate threads of -J 2 compiles simultaneously, which may've been a particularly good use case for Bulldozer.

I think I'll try out some new benchmarks using a modern OS and toolchain on both Sandy Bridge and Bulldozer to see how things have changed since 2011 / 2012.
> A second, more pernicious possibility, is to make illegal stuff that is highly correlated with actual crimes, such that law enforcement can now arrest people for innocuous as a substitute for punishing them for the real thing. Think Al Capone being done for because of taxes of all things.

I think it's mostly this. If you read their example they're basically mad that they couldn't prove that the guy ("Mr A") had a bunch of illegal money.

See the sibling comment from oblosys for an example where the exact same code can give different results in vanilla JS vs after a tsc pass. As you can see there, the problem is that an identifier can simultaneously represent a value and a type.

This is different than JSX or hashbang, where the set of non-JS syntax cannot legally overlap with existing syntax/semantics.

The key observation that drives modern affirmative action policy is that you can have systemic bias even in a system where there is no hiring bias at all, if past bias has resulted in under-representation for minorities. If young people in the minority population rarely encounter role models to follow in a specific career, they will be less likely to pursue that career, resulting in under-representation of that minority in the career population, which perpetuates the dearth of minority role models, leading to a vicious cycle. Adding in the economic consequences of historic bias makes the situation even worse. To ignore this systemic bias would be to endorse it, which is in effect the same as endorsing institutionalized bias against the minorities affected.
It's a nice idea, but I'd like to see some examples of this in practice. One problem I see with this particular system is one of relative scale, in that your x,y,z and a,b,c and p,q,r triples all need to be somewhat-carefully tuned to remain on the same numerical order of magnitude. I wonder if a better system can be constructed that depends more on the relative rankings within each category, and less on absolute quantities.

That said, I've started using another system that a coworker recently introduced me to. He likes to model the total business value of an improvement or cost-savings as a discounted cash flow. You estimate the gain as a cash flow per period, and run that through the standard present-value formulas, either picking a discount rate out of a hat or using a range of discount rates to see how the results vary. You can then compare this to your total estimated cost (e.g. your hourly rate times the expected hours of work) to see if the thing is worth doing.
Yeah you're right about the multiplication performance. I checked back and 64-bit integer multiplication is one per four clocks.

I disagree that core count should be taken to mean anything about MT performance. You always have to consider the strength of each core too. Nor does twice as many cores for the same architecture imply 2x performance, because there are always shared things like cache and memory bandwidth. And even if those aren't limiting factors, MT boost clocks are often lower than ST ones.
What ends up happening is that B2B companies prefer 'value' over 'simplicity' or user experience and end up building features without proper product design. This is required for them to expand their B2B offering and hence end up being 'clunky'. It's inevitable - much like most enterprise softwares.
Proof by implementation: https://godbolt.org/z/WYjPjsTWY

The reason the standard specifies the three overloads of course is because chars and chars literals that have been inherited from C are funny and those begin/end pairs are dangerous. But that's a quirk of C++ string types and nothing to do with parametric and ad-hoc polymorphism in C++.

edit: also the three overloads in MSVC probably forward to the same implementation over string_view (except possibly for char of course that can be implemented more efficiently).

edit2: I use concepts in my implementation just because. It would work just fine without them.

I will say it seems utterly bonkers, given the cost of airliners, that we're talking about transmission costs on the order of minutes and not doing per-second updates.

Admittedly a lot of this was before our new era of satellite constellations, but surely the future should now be "per second updates and streaming audio/video via satellite"?
