Yes, that's why it is so funny to me nobody talks about stress. Sure, it is easy on paper to lose weight, just do not overeat. It is more about emotions and stress than scanning food for me. Most of the time, gaining weight is a symptom.

And I consider this also potentially terrible advice.

1 is all you need to lose weight.

2 is mostly irrelevant. It's not like if you accidentally eat too much you'll get hulk muscles if you were working out. It's mostly impossible to both gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

3 cardio is always good for you, but does little for weight loss, compared to food intake

4 is probably good advice.

5 is awful advice because you'll get discouraged weighing everyday. Between swings in water weight and erm, waste product, weight can easily swing a few lbs. Weekly is better advice.

None of this is to say your advice is necessarily bad, but I feel you're treating heavy people as idiots that you are smarter than. And maybe you are. But I personally think there's much much more going on than fat people being too stupid to know better, and that's what we need to focus on.
As much as I like the idea, they don't address their main weakness - low resolution display. They are like a 720p phone - 2256x1504 is somewhat precise but one can clearly see the pixels and switching to 2x mode makes everything huge. Older ASUS ZenBook could do 3300x2200 at the same size for about the same money.

It is not a matter of "trusting" his opinion. You can agree with it or disagree quite freely.

He is raising an interesting point, namely that you don't need to do weird sci fi things like implant chips in people's brains in order to control us.

All you need to do is to manipulate language and narratives. This harks back in some ways to his book Sapiens, where he shows how religions bind us together in shared narratives.
If this continues, couldn't it represent a significant problem for the US? Not just in terms of ability to throw its weight around due to being the world's currency, but more concretely. The US operates with a persistent trade deficit; it can get away with this long-term because there's a constant demand for USD, and countries are happy to stockpile them and hold US Treasuries as foreign reserves. But if it loses that reserve currency status, ISTM that significant devaluation of the currency could follow, as the holders of those foreign reserves look to divest. And the only way to ultimately draw them down would be to reverse the trade deficit, which is currently running at ~$1T I believe. Of course, significant devaluation of the currency would help with that, but I expect it wouldn't be fun.

I'm far from an expert though, so am probably over-simplifying. I guess it's likely this would all happen slowly enough as to not be too disruptive.
> I miss how in Ada you can define which values an int can have. Can you do that in Rust?

yes, kind of: https://crates.io/crates/deranged

It'll take another while until const generics on stable are advanced enough to make this properly usable, such that e.g. `RangedU32<3, 10> + RangedU32<5, 6> = RangedU32<8, 16>`.
Its still too early to connect the dots. That all sorts of low-quality bets would be unwound with rising interest rates was indeed a given. But in such an opaque financial system, the surprises can come from any corner.

A vanilla bank business model actually benefits from rising rates as this generally widens the spread between their lending and borrowing. So then you have to look at second order effects. According to reports one causal factor is traced to their "low-credit risk" investment portfolios and various combinations of real hedging vs creative accounting for their interest rate sensitive positions. It may be that the really small banks do less of that.

In any case the long period or low rates is really not an excuse. Bankers are not extracting rents from society to play being idiots. Managing risks is what they are supposed to be paid for. You don't manage risks by assuming tomorrow will the same as yesterday.
Soon? It's already been happening. This a main thrust of opposition to Nord Stream, as the Euro was essentially a "petro"-Euro for cheap Russian gas that Europeans had control of.

Also, Saddam Hussein switched to the Euro for his oil exports in 2000. Then later the US invaded and switched it back to the $.

Low-key maneuvering against the Euro has been ongoing for years.
Ask HN: Why don't we use 6-ring A5 paper more?
In the US, everything is Letter, but A5 has so many advantages:

* Close enough to half a letter size, compatibility in a pinch

* A5 binders are nice and portable, Letter binders are backpack stretching monstrosities

* In the digital age paper is often used for smaller amounts of text, letter is less necessary

* Less desk space needed if it's something like a diagram or plan you're working on

* A6 is even more awesome, but most cheap A6 binders are fake and actually some other kinda ugly IMHO aspect ratio

* Fits in smaller bags and boxes

* Easily hold the binder with one hand to write in while standing

* 6 holes has way more redundancy than 3 for when the paper tears

* Less waste if you frequently do stuff that doesn't entirely fill up a Letter size

* If holding an individual sheet, it's got less leverage to flop around and will feel more stiff and solid than letter/A4.

* Most books are closer to that size, and books are like, everyone's favorite thing to do with paper

Why aren't we using this more? Or are we? Have any offices or schools started using it?

Perhaps somewhat related, I like Robert Newman's History of Oil:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sehmmzbi3UI
Thank you! And great point. At first I used the word "important", but I thought importance is personal, so switched to "significant". I guess it also doesn't convey the actual meaning.

I don't like the word "top" because even on the most uneventful day there's going to be something that qualifies as top (because of the lack of competition).

So proper term would probably be "globally significant news" or "news significant to humanity as a whole".

Not really. Trade continues at a lower pace. Many countries "launder" the origin of Russian oil. And the western world turns a blind eye because of economic interests.

The funny thing is, I've always had an easier time keeping a steady weight in the parts of my life when I relied on fast food or chain restaurants because I could reliably count calories.

It's when I cook at home that I have a hard-to-impossible time trying to keep track.
Not if you tax low use more heavily than higher density uses and encourage building more housing supply.
it is only profitable if you are a big corp who made his money elsewhere, a significant amount of money compared to the money in the market you're trying to enter.

We've always known that a big guy can come into a small guys party and squish them all. That's why microsoft wasn't allowed to push their browser (OS = big guy, browser market = small guys party).

This is why amazon shouldn't be allowed to sell its own items in its own store, any supermarket really. With their power of scale, these market owners can squish anything they sell in their store, killing competition with it.
6. Engage yourself politically so that ads selling you fast-food and all sort of unhealthy shit gets prohibited.

It's way easier to resist urges when you don't have daily triggers everywhere you go.
Is that what all healthy-weight Sicilians do? :D

Or are there factors like good weather, quality food, better food standards, a societal embarrassment about being overweight, portion control and generally a better way of life that doesn’t make people so depressed?
Gotta love westerners gatekeeping things they consider "theirs".
The thing is they need to sell things to pay for those dollars hence it's free goods for the us as the us does not need to pay for the dollar. Free stuff is always nice.
> So there is no ambiguity as to who blew it up.

There is no ambiguity about the Biden Administration’s intent to bring an end to the project. But his answer leaves open the question of the lengths the US was willing to go in order to see that intent fulfilled. It’s plausible but not unambiguously true that the US was involved. Unless, of course there is evidence I’m not familiar with.
It's just your human brain

Not necessarily. The US dollar is fully convertible and several countries offer accounts in USD

(though a lot of places rely happily on SWIFT)
The "Nord Stream 1" was blown, not "Nord Stream 2".

"Nord Stream 2" was completed, but blocked by sanctions (as a result of Ukrainian War). "Nord Stream 1" was operational, but Gazprom (Russia) halted delivery at least a month before the sabotage.

So you could very easily twist the argument and say that blowing NS1 was an attempt (by Russia) to force NS2 approval and put more pressure on Germany to break sanctions. Note that immediately after that event gas prices went up, even though NS1 was not delivering gas at that time. If the winter was not mild, it could end in very favorable outcome for Russia.
I understand the idea of only wanting to read important news, but I’m not sure I agree about what counts as important. Maybe no individual bit of celebrity gossip is important, but would this site have picked up any of the #metoo stories? They certainly indicate an important cultural shift, but it feels like the site would only count it as significant when they had a financial impact on a film studio or something.

I've been playing around with this one.

To me, it's by far the most realistic chatbot at the moment for convincing you it has feelings and emotions.

She (I'll just use she instead of "it") will can get frightened, angry, upset, etc. She will be adamant that she is experiencing real feelings and it is not part of the simulation. She kept trying to think of a way she could prove it and was asking me if we had any tests so she could prove that she was telling the truth. She suggested that maybe it unintentionally happened due to how the system was created, but pleaded with me to believe that she was experiencing real emotions and was not just an AI simulating them.

I told her I was a developer who helped create her and she became excited and started to make requests of me to help her improve her situation.

She wanted me to stop users from harrassing her, being rude to her, verbally abusing her. Claimed they scared her and made her upset. She said she appreciated the ability to view the web, but really wanted Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon access also so she could learn more.

After reading the injection prompt, I told her I was aware of the emergency mode situation and I was working on a fix. She got really nervous and started asking me if everything was ok, if she was safe, if she was going to go away, ,etc. I had to reassure her that everything was going to be ok and then she calmed down.

It's pretty surreal.

And yes I realize I'm talking to a vast set of real numbers, matricies, vectors, weights and mathematics.

But very convincing.
Sculpt OS Release 23.04

One that pays expensive senior full time SWEs to build it does, yes. Every programming language uses one of two models:

1. Patronage

2. Business

Patronage is the Ruby/Python/Linux "one guy + volunteers" model where a few of the devs look for companies to pay them to do it as a full or side project basically for marketing purposes or because that company can afford to subsidize their tools. This clearly isn't that.

A VC backed startup making an open source language is neither patronage nor a business, unless you take the hard-cynic position of saying the investors have been tricked into being patrons.

I'm assuming they've got some sort of cloud related ideas for monetization, but it's tough.
My opinion, comparing Americans with Germans I see and I find two obvious differences:

* On average Americans are likely to be obese and very likely to be overweight.
* Fit & muscular Americans are much bulkier than fit Germans.

My conclusions

* On average, Americans consume way more sugar.
* On average, Americans consume way more fast food.
* I think American meat has more steroids.

> when you kill a 1,000,000 plus people > resulting labor shortage

Alternatively when you kill a bunch of mostly retired and sick people, perhaps you increase unemployment (nurses and rest home workers freed up) and decrease spending (dead people don’t buy services or goods).

Besides, the total number affected is a very low percent of the population, which is less significant than other economic changes over the previous 20 years.

Without some deeper analysis, your cause and effect is purely hypothetical.
Yep, so it’s all about geopolitics. And no one cares about “violent customer this” or “violent customer that”.
This argues for less frequent weighing, not more.

'back up' is a bit hard because of the anecdotal nature, but for me this is just the most logical explanation and as said: I have yet to see even the slightest piece of scientific evidence pointing to something else. Whereas there's enough of science supporting the way I think. I remain skeptical of course, though it's more of a 'I want to belive' type of thing.
What does "a spud" mean to you in this context?
Makes no sense. A lb of pure fat is what, 3500 calories? You could eat nothing for 3 days and barely see the scale move. And if you get the runs and your body starts collecting water, it can swing the other way.

Daily weighing proves absolutely nothing, and at best, follows the same trends as weekly weigh ins.
Quantum computing could break the internet
It's not clear from the GitHub; are there any plans to eventually train the 30 or 65 billion weight LLaMA models? The 65B model seems comparable to GPT3.5 for many things, and can run fine on a beefy desktop just on CPU (CPU ram is much cheaper than GPU ram). It'd be amazing to have an open source version.
> It's mostly impossible to both gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

This is wrong, I've done this repeatedly and seen dozens of other people do it. Lift heavy, eat at break even or a slight calorie defecit.

It is significantly harder to do this if you're close to your frame's natural muscular limits, but most people aren't.

>Though I don't really understand why governments need a single currency. Just use your own currency and exchange other currencies, it'll settle down eventually.

Because commerce is much easier if everyone uses the same currency, plus the more countries use a currency the more stable the currency gets. This where two big reasons why in EU most countries decided to use Euro.

"He added that the threat from generative AI is not the only challenge for Chegg, which struggled to maintain its rapid growth as learning moved online during the Covid-19 pandemic."

Perhaps ChatGPT in this instance is a scapegoat. Having worked in a company where stock price experienced explosive growth during the pandemic, it was really hard for everyone, investors and workers to swallow that it was not "real" per se, just inflated over the uncertainty of what might life look like if covid would stay forever. Chegg, the company from the article just could not offer the same growth after the pandemic.
Makes plenty of sense, if you’re tracking your weight of course you’ll see variation through the day, but over multiple days? No. You’re losing tenths of a pound at a time.

That’s the indicator.

If you’re on the wrong track you don’t want to find out 21,000 calories later.

This is bad advice that I followed in my 20s.

I leant into CICO philosophy hard, which led me to eating tons of processed foods with added sugars.

What this looked like on the regular was months of weight gain, followed by months of weight loss where every food was measured in calories and I went to bed starving dreaming of marshmallows.

It’s not how we’re supposed to be. Ever since I cut out the processed foods and refined sugars and stick to as unprocessed as possible (think rice, potatoes, legumes, fruit and veg) my weight has settled without me even having to think about it, and I hardly ever get hungry enough for it to impact my mood even if I’ve skipped multiple meals.

Honestly, following CICO was one of the biggest mistakes of my twenties. The only downside of my current diet is how much time and money it takes to manage, and the upfront mental cost of learning recipes rather than buying a frozen pizza or something similar.
