> Epilepsy-specific ketogenic diets aren't recommended for people who don't have epilepsy.

Many times you can lower the fat after some time/years even on epilepsy.

> Also, keto diets don't affect someone's schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

You're wrong. I'm not saying it will "fix" it, only sometimes. But definitely improve quality of life. You might need epilepsy-keto though.

Fair enough! I guess we just have to conclude that it's for very good reason that POSIX basically throws its hands up and only tries to comprehensively specify behavior without conjunctions.

I bought a basic B&W brother toner printer back in college and it's still kicking on the original toner. I love the thing because it just freaking works, always worked out of the box on Windows/Mac and Linux with no additional drivers (there is one but it worked fine without them).

I've got the HL-L2300D and I recommend it to anyone that just 'needs a damn printer'.
> It's basically the "quick format" of SSDs: "hey, all those blocks here, I don't care about them anymore, use them as if they were free..."

Due to implementation details, SSDs can only use a block if it is clear. Thus trimming a block and waiting for long enough would be sufficient to erase the data if the driver actually enforced that the block will be reused.

So, it's not good enough, but this is not obvious at all.
Hydraulic press is too obscure, .45 ACP works just as well.

But it depends on your risk profile, for most people a wipe-and-reuse is going to be fine, especially if the "reuser" is already a trusted entity.
Not the same argument.

There is a massive difference between "a smaller piece of the pie" and "cut out entirely".
They have fallen off, but not by nearly as much as the node names indicate. TSMC has been "cheating" with their node designations for years (c.f. 3nm is not remotely a (5/3)^2==2.8x increase in density vs. 5nm, it's more like 30-50% denser), where Intel stuck with the notionally numeric scales for longer.

But Intel has given up now too, the "7nm" line in that chart is actually showing the process they're marketing as "Intel 4" (denoting that it sits roughly where a "4nm" process would vs. their competitors).

This line of thinking comes up often on HN but it ignores the central reason for governments to enact borders, a rather modern invention. Governments (at the behest of businesses) enforce borders so that labor cannot effectively organise. A border exists often for workers only, but is mostly a legal fiction that corporations can easily navigate.

The most common example for the Americans reading this is NAFTA, which makes workers in Detroit compete with workers in Mexico (suppressing wages in both location) while allowing the auto manufacturing companies to treat all of North America as one market. Toyota can move their plants around the region somewhat freely; can someone in Mexico freely move to the midwest?

I hope you will come around some day. I'm equally worried about the authoritarianism of both parties, and can't decide which dystopia I'd rather live in. Option A: No right to self-defense but having abortion rights, letting violent criminals out on $0 bail. Option B: A right to self-defense but living in a country which wants to legislate based on religion.
My take is that the AI capabilities of big platforms will harm their surrounding add-ons.

Strong agree, this needs to be reevaluated. In particular, Washington State has fantastic environmental protection laws that don't get in the way of good environments improvements.

CEQA is a bad first draft of an environmental law, the definitions are bad, the logic is bad. And CEQA even protected things like level of service of traffic until recently, which greatly increased car traffic and pollution. For the era when it was passed, CEQA was probably good, and it has accomplished lots of good, but today it's causing as many problems as it seems to solve.
Room-temperature superconductor discovery meets with resistance
Page links to publications cited.
Google (and apparently DDG)'s position is that they're not building that. Google started building that, but only because it was the technology available to get closer to the desired goal.
Your links generally don't appear to be linking to scientific research groups. Metabolic Mind is funded by a wealthy family whose son claims to be cured of bipolar from a keto diet.
This is certainly a more accurate and interesting analysis. I’d also like to point out how anti-gentrification activists and wealthy NIMBYs often work towards the same goal. I believe the anti-gentrification activists have the more noble cause, but the net effect is the same.

What we are seeing is only a product of extremely high demand meeting an unstoppable (ish) force. The results are not great.
LA times has been reporting on the problem deputy gangs for years. The new part in this article is how high up their members are but it’s also captain obvious reporting as the gang members have had decades to make it up there. Still good for it to be explicitly called out.

I haven’t seen any reports in Bay Area papers but it’s been reported on in LA. It’s been local news. Similarly Californian don’t hear about >90% of the scandals in Chicago.
I worked as a studio assistant in NYC after art school, then an adjunct professor at colleges all over California and along the way at several science museums, then at an education-oriented startup.

I literally observed this kind of systematic abuse in all these work environments and the toxic trail of embittered, wonderfully talented and passionate creative people that kind of system creates and leaves in its wake.

I've also seen this from a distance at FAANG companies, specifically AWS.

Anyway I was lucky to get out.
I do agree it makes sense fornscale, but if your data fits in memory Flyte native constructs shine. For example it will ensure your data is stored / serialized correctly. Allows you to use polars, vaex, duckdb etc. tbh I am a huge proponent of vertical scaling till you can get the mileage.

It also supports - gpu allocation, spot instances and collaboration across multiple users. I do not think it is a wrong choice if you feel your complexity will grow.

When speaking it out loud, I tend to weight the 'neu' slightly more than the 'ro' but little enough that I think the double interpretation is probably still audible - certainly saying it out loud to myself now I can hear both.
Probably not possible in this architecture - since probabilities of minecarts are hardcoded, judging from the video that's how they scale random number generation.
It seems like the pendulum of public sentiment around react is swinging the other way. I see more and more criticisms of react every day.
> But in 1972, the California courts interpreted a “public project” to include any private development that required governmental approvals.

And there it is. This is the real bane of our society, that a group of lifetime elected partisans can completely change the obvious meaning of a law, strike down laws, uphold blatantly unconstitutional laws, you name it.

So, we have a huge power grab by the government at some point in the past, and the government is totally unwilling to relinquish that power.

The issue with the modern apartment building noise, in my estimation, isn't wood construction (which is commonly blamed), but ducts. The double-loaded corridor requires extra ventilation per fire code. The demand for central air conditioning implies ducts. A properly designed double-stud wooden wall can have a Sound Transmission Class higher than 60, but a small hole in a wall can cut the STC by as much as 30. The presence of a large void in the wall (duct) could severely reduce the efficacy of the sound insulation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Transmission_Class#Sound_...

The apartment buildings I've lived in without central A/C (in Atlanta and San Francisco) were consistently quieter than the ones with central A/C. Underfloor radiant heating and wall A/C units might be a better way to design apartment buildings. Removing climate control from the access corridor and letting it vent to the outside would reduce the need for sprinklers and complex ventilation. This is slightly less energy efficient, but apartment buildings are already way more energy efficient than houses, and anything that makes apartments more livable can increase the efficiency of the whole society by increasing people's willingness to live in apartments.

There's a transition through several states: not enough, barely enough, just enough, and more than enough. It's a sharp transition; there's a small difference in income needed to go through these stages, but a huge difference in stress and happiness from one side to the other.

My definitions:

- Not enough: you're having to choose which necessary expenses to pay and which ones to not pay. Are your children going to be hungry, or are they going to be cold?

- Barely enough: you can pay necessary expenses, but you have to micromanage every dime and make sure deposits clear before expenses are paid. You're forced to buy cheap things that don't last instead of quality things that are less expensive long-term. The slightest mistake in timing deposits/expenses with the resulting fees, or the smallest unexpected expense, throws you back into "Not enough"

- Just enough: basically the same as Barely enough, but you've got a little leeway on the cash flow timing and sometimes you can spend more on quality.

- More than enough: You can set up automated payments for regular expenses, and no longer have to worry about cash flow timing. That's a HUGE stress reduction. You're building savings for unexpected expenses.

> Countermeasures aren't needed if adtech just stopped working with known bad actors and recognizable malpractices.

True, but it looks to me like adtech depends on working with bad actors and mostly ignoring bad practices. It's one of the reasons why I consider the adtech industry itself to be malicious.
> Can anyone else verify if a LLM trained on a set of mostly-true info like Wikipedia will still make shit up?

It will, but less frequently. For instance, I can imagine a situation where it would give a plausibly sounding answer to a question based on an incorrect premise. The issue is that the bullshit responses will sound plausible from the stylistic pov.

Under the hood LLMs we're talking about here are still just "spicy autocomplete" with non-deterministic results. The results are impressive, just not in the way the VC driven discourse/hype would suggest.
This is how laws work in the US though, it’s called rule making authority. For example, the clean air act doesn’t specify any of the levels or pollutants, it empowers (or in that case creates) the Department or Agency to make rules within some often quite broad guidelines. That agency will then conduct research, hold public meetings that nobody goes to, and then make rules which are enforced under the law.

Edit: those laws sometimes get amended by congress and sometimes extended or have their enforcement deprioritized by the executive.
Sure but if those customers are 1% of your revenue and 30% of your tickets then they're customers you want to lose and it's not particularly callous to want to feed your family.
When corporations are people, competing for businesses is literally the same thing as competing for people.
It is an asymmetric advantage, but they're different games. The governent should be competing to help people, not make money.

Yes in many place that would drive out current businesses.

If we are worried about inefficiency, maybe we make government compete with itself. Have it's initiatives be charters, and issue new overlapping charters over time. Governmemt is not required to have a stasist implememtation; dynamic behavior can be part of the system.

A friend of mine learned to write linux kernel drivers. We had to write tests for hardware of a big name manufacturer. We had a USB cd-rom drive that failed some test unexplainably. We contacted the engineers and they were very responsive about the firmware, we also performed many mechanical tests. My friend decided to flex his driver writing muscles and spent a whole day modifying the linux kernel to carefully investigate bit by bit what was being sent from the cd-rom. After a very long investigation he categorically said: "It can only be the cable."

It was the cable indeed. And we could have discovered with much less effort.
On the contrary. As a user, if I cannot see that the software makers are either a big, well backed project OR at least they are able to sustain themselves by selling premium versions etc, I avoid using it. Most of the projects that cannot fund themselves eventually get abandoned, leaving you, as the user, hanging.

After getting burned by that a few times, I learned that the only way to deal with it was to ensure that those who run a project will be able to justify putting time into it when the actual realities and responsibilities of life like career, family, children etc start raining down.

Its all fun and games when you are in college or fresh out of college and maintaining an open source project. But the time and effort put into it suddenly becomes difficult to justify when you have more responsibilities at work, or even further, a family to which you have to justify spending that time on that project.

Now, the assumption of open source community is that, when that happens, someone else will take over the project and it will just keep going on.

Except it rarely happens except for very large projects. The net is filled with abandoned projects. And even when someone takes over the project, there is no guarantee that the original vision and quality will be kept.

So its much better to make sure that every open source project has a way to fund itself and its developers by making money in some way.
I agree. I want to do the interpretation, and have the search engine just find me the relevant web pages.

If I need help interpreting something, I will use a separate service for that.

I tried to generate slides with "Bible" in its prompt, as I wanted to see if I could generate slides for use at my church. It looks like any mention of "Bible" or religious words are considered "sexual, hate, violence, health topics"???

Disclaimer, I don't support Musk at all.

The thing I don't get is "why"?

Ok read the Persi Diaconis one https://arxiv.org/abs/1206.3620.

You are right, it can be more polished but also it covers quite a lot and it was surprisingly hard to fit it all in.

Feersum Endjinn and The Bridge are fascinating but, yeah, work.

Excession IME is fine for people -if- they've read several other Culture novels first. Having it be somebody's first one tends to be ... suboptimal, at best.

Inversions is also weird in that it feels a bit empty ... -unless- you know to read it as a novel about SC agents, and then it's far more interesting.

The rest of the sci-fi ones seem reasonably grokkable, the non-sci-fi ones really depend on whether you get into the style or not, I think.
It buys options. Going from none to some, and then enough feels great.

After that I can imagine there to be diminishing returns.

Prompt engineering looks exactly like how beginner programmers throw spaghetti code against the wall to see what sticks. Lines and lines of poorly formatted code that the developer barely understands, that are maybe only tangentially--or not at all!--related to the task at hand. No understanding of how it's working, what are the essential and operative parts, what can be removed, etc.

Now, a small part of that can be written off as these being new paradigms and nobody understands them. But prompt engineering is, in much larger part, completely unlike writing code in a programming language, because it can never be understood "from first principles", because neural networks are inscrutable and stochastic by their very nature.

It's like trying to write production code in an esolang like Malbolge.
To mask the extent to which a drive has been filled, or to figure out how many blocks have been deleted since the last TRIM. I have yet to discover any use for this minuscule "leak", even when considering nation-state adversaries. It's much easier to find other channels to leak data through.

The disadvantages are massive, such as significant slowdown when the drive gets filled. Yet the creators of dm-crypt are paranoid about enabling it by default:
