I would caution against relying too much on the physics of “calories in, calories out”. While it is iron-clad and incontrovertibly true that it is physically impossible to increase in mass if you consume fewer calories than you expend, “calories in” is more complicated than simple choice, and “calories out” is more complicated than a simple
formula.

Lowering one’s “calories in“ requires consistent exertion of willpower; willpower is strongly affected by blood glucose levels; lowering “calories in” lowers blood glucose - i.e., choosing to go hungry depletes the fuel required to maintain that choice. This makes it different to most other choices. (An evocative driving metaphor: “you can choose to avoid highways, you can choose to avoid toll roads, you can choose the scenic route, but choosing to avoid gas stations is quite a different matter”.)

Likewise, “calories out” is not always something you can just calculate once based on your height and weight and activity and then aim to undershoot. Though it varies from person to person, the human body will generally lower its energy expenditure when it detects a calorie deficit, manifesting as physical lethargy and brain fog. For some individuals, restricting calories might very well “underclock” their body and/or brain below the point where they can keep doing their job.

There are also genuine environmental factors like whether you’ve contracted Adenovirus‐36 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-021-00805-6)

How can one prove this for themselves? There's no way. OpenAI isn't open source. It's proprietary. There is absolutely no way for a person to establish exactly what's going on behind the web UI. A conversation could be entirely with humans, or just in part. You have no actual way to see for yourself other than using the Turing test. It's one of the fundaments of AI research itself, and you're calling it ridiculous? You're spouting nonsense.
My wife and I always joke about Allen running out of basement space and opening MOPOP.
I'll disagree somewhat.

If they're planning on becoming a lifetime Manhattanite who rarely leaves the city sure. (Substitute international locations.) Sure.

But I think parents insisting that not being able to drive is a poor life choice for a bunch of reasons--that they're not going to support through driving their kid around--seems pretty reasonable.

Strictly in terms of employment (and even job interviews in my experience) the ability to rent a car, even if not owning a car, is pretty common.
Mmm, but the 5 9s of reliability probably don’t take into account their odds of terminating your account abruptly.

Maybe they should. Every account they unilaterally shutdown without access to data should just count against their reliability metrics as if it were an indefinite outage.
That's still one order of magnitude to high for video content.

The dependencies that are not on NPM are dev dependencies, only needed for the compilation of the editor.

The "real" dependencies are FontAwesome (icons), Vue, Pinia (vue store) and Synth Color (a custom package I made to generate color schemes)

In short, the editor is already compiled. So you just need to install the package, it will automatically download the peer dependencies, as any NPM package.

> I don't think claiming no such effect exists is tenable

I was too loose in the language of my last comment. I don't think that there is zero such effect. I think the effect is small enough to not be a significant factor. I've tried to include enough qualifiers (such as "broadly") to indicate that.

> the well-known correlation with education.

If you're saying that there's a significant correlation between education and income, I'll agree with that. But we've been talking about intelligence, not education.
I'm sure people eventually will want and pay for "unshackled AIs" (just using it as a common acronym, not suggesting that they are actually intelligent).
Show HN: Offstage – A simpler, yet smarter, data analytics tool for creators
Hey HN! I'd like to present our data analytics tool for creators. Understanding data is so important for creators and musicians but making sense of it can be really difficult and time consuming to do, so we wanted to make something better. Something simple and purpose-built.

The idea is simple: Connect the data sources used by musicians and creators (Eventbrite, Shopify, etc) into our tool, then ask questions using natural language in a Q&A interface to pull up answers to complex questions like "How many of my fans are based in LA and haven't bought merchandise from me yet?"

We're still very early on and we're focusing on getting feedback from creators, musicians, and anyone who could benefit from a "simpler" data tool. Would love feedback from this community!
Malls Are in Trouble Again, Offices Are Next
I’m not working on Rust anymore, but the previous stated position on this, which as far as I know is still the case, is that if it’s confusing, you should file. Worst case scenario is “sort we can’t fix that” but it’s not an imposition to file issues. More is better. Because exactly as Esteban said, information is valuable. Even duplicates are valuable: they indicate that more than one person has run into this, and therefore it’s more valuable than an obscure issue only one person sees.
A very intelgent question void of political bias (rare these days on HN). Thank you for that!

My other alternative suggestion to a flat income tax is a progressive sales tax based on what you want to incentivize.

Gas guzzlers? First class flight? Tax the shit out of them.

Solar roof? Basic groceries? No tax.

Used/preowned goods? Zero tax (a loophole for opting out).

Etc.

Similar happened to me. Account kept getting charged while my account was suspended because I couldn't pay the first bill. The only way to unsuspend it was to pay the full amount, including when all of the hosts were inaccessible. When I complained, they told me that I should have read the ToS to know that I'd still be charged for the inaccessible hosts. They waived one month, but had to pay the rest. All of my support was done over chat, but it took a while and I had to talk to a few different reps. Good luck.
I'll have to disagree on the filling, I think I could eat kilograms of it ;)
That assumes that most people spend most of their time on video calls now. Which hopefully isn't true.

And if it is true, all of the points that Jassy makes suggests that they are doing remote collaboration wrong. For example: holding meetings instead of working together, which is just as possible to do effectively remotely as in person.
Correct, I should have specified. Regardless a shocking showing for someone so new to the sport.
I was turned off by Obsidian because, much as it is local first, it doesn’t have the more notion like mode where I can invite a team and use it as a shared wiki.

Did I miss something? For me, being able to edit things from multiple devices seamlessly and share it with my coworkers so they can edit it too, that is critical.
I understand it this way that ChatGPT (or Alexa) will run locally and you don't have to send all of your queries to some company for processing. Of course, hardware costs will have to come way down. Or some kind of zero-trust scheme will be developed to send data for processing anonymously, possibly along with some satoshis to make the whole thing economical for computation providers.

What a long article to ultimately get to the realization (but fail to state it): If you pick a quantitative measure and optimize for it as a target, that's what you get.

If you optimize for "velocity" (# of changes, here) then you get velocity, a lot of changes. If you optimize for "high impact" changes then you get high impact changes. This is not shocking. What also shouldn't be shocking is that if the two are only poorly correlated then you'll end up not getting meaningful improvements in the other measure, and may in fact reduce the other if there is a conflict between them.

The bigger problem is that most organizations don't know what they want to optimize or how to measure the things they want to optimize. So they find proxies like "velocity" or "impact" and end up optimizing for them instead of what they actually want.

In other words, Goodhart's Law.

Thank you very much! Yeah, it's still a bit confusing...

Basically, the editor is free. You can use it in your app and logic created can be executed by interpretation.

But the compilation of the logic into plain JS will be a paid option. You'll need it if you want to trigger the logic in a performant/headless way.
> Java isn't generic over exceptions. You can't write a method that takes an instance of Foo and says "my method throws whatever Foo.bar() throws"

If you bend over far enough backwards, and squint a bit, you can kind of do that...

interface Runner<E extends Throwable> {
public void run() throws E;
}

class Test {
public static <E extends Throwable, T extends Runner<E>> void test(T runner) throws E {
runner.run();
}
}

It compiles. I haven't tried running it though.

And I am staying home! Over the last 20 years I’ve eaten out/take out for lunch and dinner everyday. For me I love food and it was simply convenient. But you pay twice: in money and in health. I regret going to restaurants so frequently now.

At this rate with the >50% rise in restaurant prices, restaurants adding 20% to cover “living wage for the back house staff”, and tips exceeding 25% I’ve decided to not eat at a another restaurant again.

Home cooking can be a fun, creative and technically challenging- perfect mix for engineers.
I'm really puzzled by the desire to make these machines so blunt and boring. Aren't these people watching movies or playing games? Are they not aware of the value of drama? Do they think that a good citizen means a lobotomised workaholic high on sedatives?

If someone else manages to create an open ChatGPT alternative, OpenAI will miss out on it just like they missed out on Dall-E to Stable Diffusion.

Also, for some reason MS lets me use the Bing Chat only with the Edge Browser. Are we in for another Browser war?

Whenever I've had to drive on business--other than commuting--there's always been a mileage allowance which I expensed. Or I had a rental car and was paid for rental and gas.

But, yes, there are also many company locations out in suburban office parks that are generally not accessible if you don't have a car.

Even if I had a company car, I'd still have to be able to drive. Lots of jobs require being able to drive.

A great many teenagers will be in situations (especially after college) where they want or even need to drive a car. So it makes sense to "encourage" them to get a driver's license before there's an urgent need.
> we have zero evidence that comets can really seed life

I would argue that this isn't precisely true. We know of some forms of relatively complex terrestrial life that can survive for indefinite (as far as we know) periods in vacuum - tardigrades are the most common example given.

For some other good candidates, I'd start with the list included the (failed) LIFE mission: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Interplanetary_Flight_E...

> What scientific problem would actually be solved by panspermia? Obviously, the product of two unlikely events is not more likely than one unlikely event by itself.

Panspermia is the belief that life is pervasive across the Universe. You don't have to believe that to believe that terrestrial life may not have originated here. From a statistically perspective, if we assume that life has arisen exactly once, it's no less likely that it arose on Mars as on Earth. Maybe some or all of the early history of life had already happened before the accretion of Earth. If that's the case, we'll likely never find direct evidence of it.

In short... I'd argue that panspermia doesn't "solve" any problems at all. If life is unique to Earth, we should be able to find evidence of its earliest forms. If it originated on Mars and was "seeded" here, then we should eventually find that evidence there. If it's universal, it still had to have originated _somewhere_; it's just going to be much more difficult to discover where.

To the best of my (lay) understanding, while we have a fair idea of how life might have began, we don't have very good evidence that it actually began on Earth.

What we do know:

* Earth is ~4.5b years old.

* The oldest fossils we know of are ~3.5b years old: https://news.wisc.edu/oldest-fossils-found-show-life-began-b...

* There exists evidence suggestive of life that is ~3.8b years old, in the form of what we believe to be precipitate from a oceanic hydrothermal vent that shows signatures of biological processes.

This means that in order for life to have arisen on Earth, it must have done so in the first ~1b years - because those oldest fossils mentioned above included multicellular life. To go from "primordial soup" to "multicellular microorganisms" is a pretty big leap, and we don't know the specifics.

Then there's the fact that _all_ known life either contains DNA or, in the case of RNA viruses, requires access to DNA-based life to reproduce. We don't know what came before that. Did primitive metabolism in come first, or genes (encoding structure in a durable and reproducible way)? Did they arise in tandem?

Either way, we are very confident that 1b years after the matter that we now know as Earth coalesced, there were multicellular organisms alive. Since all known life requires DNA, that means DNA was around at that point as well. That doesn't seem long enough to me, and apparently others share that intuition.

That's pretty much a perfect description of me, and my only planning/organizational tool I use as a regular part of my life is setting alarms, timers, and reminders on my phone so I remember I was supposed to do a thing. Usually I just rely on myself to figure out why the hell my phone's bugging me, don't even bother to record what it is. It's working pretty well for me.

Every other tool I've tried to use has been about 20x more effort than it's worth, and remembering to keep whatever-thing with me or to check it is harder than the entire rest of what I'm trying to accomplish with it. I always have my phone, and I don't need to check it because it'll scream at me when it's time for something. "WTF is that noise? Wait, what time is it? Oh shit, time to get so-and-so ready for practice!"
They wouldn't though. It would instead be industry capture as intuit is grossly compensated through a back channel that never gets allocated a budget to run an audit of. Then with a guaranteed revenue base, all the developers would get sacked as they coast.

You'll need actual real socialist* legislators who are well educated in actual real socialism* in order to pull that off without some wacky neoliberal private-public bait and switch nonsense.

* - as opposed to the legislators accused with the label "socialists" who actually work towards regulated free market structures as advocated for by Friedman and Hayek.
It's convenient that you ignored the majority of my post because I am "too deeply entrenched", and then cherry-picked its one weak point while claiming I am cherry-picking and dishonest. I'll try the same tactic next time I disagree with someone.

We can try a different measure of health if you'd like. Surely I cannot be cherry-picking data if the effect is visible across multiple categories, right? Going down the list of highest-cause-of-death [0], death rates per 100,000 here [1] (sorry, hard to find more up-to-date data including age-adjusted rates of death by cause and gender):

Heart Disease (23.1% of deaths): Men 298.9, Women 210.4 (men 42% more likely)

Cancer (21.0% of deaths): Men 217.5, Women 151.3 (men 44% more likely)

Accidents (6.1% of deaths): Men 55.2, Women 25.8 (men 114% more likely)

Chronic lower respiratory diseases (5.5% of deaths): Men 48.0, Women 36.0 (men 33% more likely)

Cerebrovascular disease (5.3% of deaths): Men 42.5, Women 41.3 (men 3% more likely)

Alzheimers disease (4.3% of deaths): Men 18.5, 24.9 (women 35% more likely)

Diabetes mellitus (3.1% of deaths): Men 26.4, Women 19.5 (men 35% more likely)

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis (1.8% of deaths): Men 17.8, Women 12.5 (men 42% more likely)

Influenza and pneumonia (1.7% of deaths): Men 19.3, Women 14.2 (men 36% more likely)

Intentional self-harm (suicide) (1.7% of deaths): Men 18.4, Women 4.7 (men 291% more likely)

If female suicide attempts (0.6%/yr) resulted in death as often as male suicide attempts (0.4%/yr), from the above cited Figure 7, we would see an increase of 27.6 deaths per 100,000 in women. Let's look at death rates per 100,000 in 2021 [2]. Comparing people of the same race, the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 people for men was 304.7 higher for whites, 458.3 for blacks, 187.0 for Asians, 480.9 for Native Americans, and 315.8 for Hispanics. Weighting that by demographics [4], that averages 320.4.

Let me put that statistic a few different ways for you:

If women were as effective as men at suicide, every successful female suicide would need to include her killing 10 other same-age women to equalize the age-adjusted death rate between men and women for all causes.

The difference in age-adjusted death rate between men and women is larger in magnitude than if there were a second, equally fatal, heart disease, that only impacted men.

Do you still think I am cherry-picking?

Well, I was responding to a comment only about commuting, but yes. Housing costs and the energy (including direct construction, for those who made it and profited from it, and maintenance/heat etc) used are enormous. It's 30-40% of most people's budget both $ and Carbon. If you're living in a $1M+ house to avoid $10k worth of annual commuting the environmental savings may not be worth it.
What you did was against the rules regardless of who you're talking about. It's not a borderline call.
