Some know-it-all with quite well behaving kids are the worst.

The funny thing is that what works is very child specific. So parents give each other good advice for their own children but might be terrible advice for others. Talking about child care became so much easier once I realized this.
Good lord yes. Though I'd probably want a more dedicated cable organizer, with multiple separated brackets for organization and cutouts for removing and adding and reorganizing cables without unplugging them.
This I think is the approach—a dialectic of LLMs that can critique and synthesize.

That’s not quite what the comment you were responding to said.
It’s really not an either / or scenario at all.

There are tons of really good solutions to this problem that are incredibly affordable but they just aren’t popular in the React ecosystem which is once again off doing its own thing seemingly detached from everyone else and trying to just fit the React mental model into any abstraction they come across and patting themselves on the back about innovation in the process.

Honestly React is an actively terrible place to have as your center of the universe when trying to build the kind of app you described. Not to say you can’t or shouldn’t use it but it most certainly shouldn’t be where the core is.
Shatter, the First Comic Made on a Computer (1985)
A comic book created by Mike Saenz, Peter B. Gillis and Charles Athanas in the mid-1980s on an Apple Macintosh (though with traditional, analog coloring). This milestone of the comics industry started out successfully but ran its course after 14 issues. It paved the way for other digital comics like Das Robot Imperium by Michael Götze, Iron Man: Crash by Mike Saenz and Batman: Digital Justice by Pepe Moreno.

Kind of weird to pick sqrt(512) as an example to show the practical use. I mean you'd be better of with a base 2 logarithm as you're basically calculating 2^4.5 = sqrt(2)*2^4 = 1.4... * 16 = 22.4(ish).
Here in Europe we compete over who gets the new US base first. Do you really think we'd rather be under Russian rule and the US had to do anything other than offer us protection that we gladly accepted? We actually fought hard to get the NATO to expand to us in the 90s, against US resistance. Think again.

Nobody is occupying us. We asked the US to come help us. We share culture and way of life. There were no changes about anything in our country other than increased security. Occupation looks different - look at Russian-controlled parts of Ukraine to get a feel for it.

> Spain [...] (unless you count them allowing US bases as "militarily involved", but that doesn't cause bad blood so doubt it)

The USA went to war against Spain on false pretenses, that was more than 100 years ago but not a small thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War#U...

The Wikipedia article presents different sides of the story, and my take is that the USA wanted to carve off the Spanish Empire and would use any excuse for that, a pattern repeated many times.

Not that the USA is unique in that. The point is that there are reasons for the rest of the world to resent the USA’s unchecked power, being wielded by small groups in there often to the detriment of the USA’s general population, as is happening now with de-dollarization.

The USA and its Western European puppets are becoming a much less reliable partner than we used to be, and the alternatives do not look as bad by comparison as they once did.
Yes! Hell we did such things in C and a little custom build tool support.
In my experience the percieved value of AWS is management that thinks they can get away with fewer sysadmins because of the managed spirit of AWS. In a way, this is true, because what eventually happens is that the company ends up employing no or very few sysadmins, and expects developers to pick up the slack by branding sysadmin work as "devops".

If you manage to get away with it, AWS savings are in workforce costs. But i don't think every company _can_ get away with it, and by the time you realize you'd be better off on-prem, you will have already churned all your devs into AWS experts and fired all your sysadmins. Amazon knows this and expects it, that's why they sell training courses that you must pay for as an employer.

While that might depend on a particular person to an extent, I found exercise the biggest differentiator for my own health and weight. And I don't even mean workout - rather anything more than 15 minutes of walking per day.

I also never walked less than the two weeks I spent in Texas.
Regarding 5, those swings happen even with weekly weighing. If you lose the recommended one to two lbs a week, and your water weight(etc) swings up it will sometimes look like you are stalling even though you are not. It'll be deceptive though because it will not happen that often. Risk taking away the wrong lessons.

With daily weighings the noise will be obvious and in your face, forcing you to acknowledge it.

It's basically a matter of downsampling with/without antialiasing.
Someone who doesn't even have the self control to resist a bloody junk food advertisement is unlikely to have the energy to go around political campaigning.

It's amazing how so many Americans nowadays have completely given up the idea of personal responsibility. It's been scientifically proven that willpower is like a muscle, it gets stronger the more we use it. If we encourage people to blame advertisements rather than their own poor self control, then we don't encourage people to strengthen their willpower, so it's no wonder obesity rates are higher than ever before. Your great grandparents would be laughing their asses off if they were around to hear people today suggesting it's easier to engage in the polticial process than just be more careful about what they put in their mouths.

It is interesting to juxtapose the feelings of Indian classical musicians towards two Western instruments: the harmonium and the violin. The latter has been so enthusiastically embraced that it has long since displaced even the vīṇā in popularity. The article discusses this matter only briefly, but links to a much longer exposition[1]. In summary, though...

Being a fretless, bowed, string instrument, the violin is exceptionally good at the gāyaki ('as sung') style and in bringing out the ornaments, or gamaka, that are so pervasive in Indian classical music.

With the violin, there are some modifications to playing style and tuning compared to Western classical and baroque music: pizzicato is extremely rare, and col legno rarer still. The GDAE strings are tuned to x, x + 5, x', x' + 5 respectively, where x and x' are any note and that note an octave higher. Typically x = D♯, E, or F in violin solos, and x = the vocalist's/main artiste's choice of śruti when accompanying.

It is for precisely this reason that the harmonium and similar keyed instruments like the piano are eschewed in Indian classical music (barring a handful of exceptions). With so much focus on melody and ornamentation instead of harmony, multiple simultaneous keypresses are incongruous in Indian classical music, and the piano is unable to do any trill, glissando, or equivalent gamaka that the violin, flute, or even the mandolin can. Electronic keyboards are somewhat less frowned upon, because the synthesiser can approximate gamakas.

That said, even today, many conservative listeners will not accept anything but the violin, which has been part of Carnatic music for more than two centuries.

[1]: https://maddy06.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-violin-in-carnatic-...

An addendum: My comment has a slight Carnatic bias. The harmonium still exists in Indian classical music today, but it is significantly more popular in Hindustani music than in Carnatic music.

Say what you will of the Americans, they will always do the right thing, having explored all other options. I don't have any such hopes of the other powers-to-be waiting in the wings.
If most speakers have lost the distinction, then by definition the dialects that still distinguish the two are more marginal, so how can they be considered normative? Sure, historically they were consistently distinguished if you go back far enough, but what difference does it make wrt modern Spanish?

Advice that might work for you may not work for me, and vice versa. Best to not to assume your advice universal except CICO does works.

Here's my advice:

1. Assume that cardio and strength training basically don't help you lose weight, no matter how much you train. Unless you're absolutely crazy. Constrained energy metabolism suggests that your basal metabolism adjusts to your physical effort or lack thereof.

2. Weighing yourself can work if you don't freak out over every little variation in weight changes.

3. Exercises should be done for health reason, not for weight loss. Only insane maniac can use exercise to lose weight. You should consider a well rounded program, and not just overly focus on one specific thing. Do steady cardio AND HIIT, stability and strength training. It's a lot. You probably should do more than the minimum requirement set by the CDC to get everything you need, but even if you can't, any exercise is better than none.

4. Weight loss is made in the kitchen(or rather what you ingest). There are ways to cut calories, some you may adhere to better, such as time restricted feeding, eliminating certain major food categories(cutting out deserts and sweets other than fruits), and calories counting. There's no real magic bullet here. Experiment and see what works best for you.
Food providers don't need to collude when much of the time (enough) they're all the same company.
If they are instead buying things with US dollars, where do those dollars come from?
>* I think American meat has more steroids

There's a simpler answer: Americans, regardless of whether they exercise or not, consume more calories than Germans. This means Americans who lift weights will grow more muscles than Germans who lift weights, and Americans who don't will grow more fat.

This site[0] should answer your question for the several states. In general:

Most U.S. states require residents to pay income taxes to the state as well
as to the federal government. The factors that determine residency vary by
state, but usually involve a person having established their domicile in that
state or having spent more than half the year there.

Hi, my only suggestion I immediately had is that if you're paging the content on mobile scroll, then for client performance reasons you could be unloading the older pages from the very top otherwise my experience ends at nearly few scrolls where my cpu says it is done.
It's the same in that you don't have to live on the base, and the option to live there is tied to your continuing to be in the military.

My dad retired when he wanted to, and the family gave up all their base privileges.

(I was even born in the base hospital! I was even going to join the AF, but my glasses meant no wings, so that was it for me.)
I especially hate all those private for-profit police scanner making companies like motorola that piggyback off the cops.
That's a neat idea OP - I usually give https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief give a quick scroll, but I quite like sourcing from several news sites, and the summaries are good.

Where and how are you getting the ~1000 news articles you feed to GPT4? I think it would go a long way for transparency to list that somewhere on the website. Also, are you using international news agencies? Quite a lot of them publish an English feed too.

I would also love to see the difference it would make given a different geographical prompt ("in the context of China/India/Asia/Europe... How would you are this article") and political ideology prompt ("how would you rate this article for a Republican/Democrat/Libertarian/Socialist...")

> the communist bloc happened on a backdrop of happy workers

Were workers happy in those countries? Likely no. Was it their populations that chose Communism? No. It was mainly imposed upon countries by Russian imperialism. The cold war was a power struggle, not a struggle between different peoples who chose different ideologies. You can see that in how quickly the Warsaw pact disintegrated after the Soviet Union lost their grasp on those countries, and in how much many of the ex-SU / Warsaw Pact peoples now hate Russia, except for the countries that were taken over by authoritarians.
Rents would go down, actually.

Demand for housing would remain the same.

Short term it would create a strong incentive not to hoard property. If it's not rented out it is losing money. Landlords would scramble to rent them out - driving up supply.

Medium term rents would decrease, too. A land tax would create a powerful incentive to yield low density housing in high value locations to be redeveloped into high density housing - increasing supply.

What would also go down is property prices. Significantly.

It would kill all political will to fight redevelopment too. There would be no point fighting to declare a launderette historic to prevent it from being turned into apartments. Desperation for local housing wouldnt get directly turned into home equity and higher rents like it does now, it would just jack up your tax bill.

Many foods are designed to make you want to keep eating them. If you have cookies in the house you will probably eat them, or at least I will, if you have something healthy that takes effort to make you'll probably eat a serving and move on.

Too many calories might be bad no matter what the source is, but some foods seem to make people want to eat more of them than others... and some foods have negative effects even aside from weight. They seem pretty sure even lots of stuff that's totally natural isn't that healthy...

The thing that I would really like to understand is why social media and internet addiction doesn't make us eat less.

I would expect the American diet to be a lot healthier now that phones exist, because we all look at screens all day, you would think we would just eat exactly enough to not be hungry, and maybe a little more as a social thing, and otherwise maybe even forget to eat half the time, like people do when engrossed in a book or a project?

Why can't tech fill our pointless dopamine seeking needs just as well as eating crap? Shouldn't intermittent fasting be kind of automatic now?

Perhaps one might expect us to even have healthy meals more just to show off on Instagram.

Instead we scroll while we eat, and we even doordash now, from what I hear.

It almost seems like the scrolling makes it worse!

>I can imagine scenarios where overpaid tech workers in the US--rather than striking themselves--instead pay underpaid miners (in Africa, say) to strike, which cascades to hold up manufacturing, which cascades to harm their eventual target.

I don't think you've considered the logistical difficulties of what you're describing. It's not like Panasonic has a list of all of the cobalt miners that were part of their supply chain. They themselves have no idea where their cobalt comes from, as they get it through several layers of middlemen. At the root of this supply chain are people like an man who feeds orphans, but forces them to collect peculiar-looking rocks, which he sells to the local warlord's nephew for $2 per hundred pounds. It's not exactly a place that's ripe for unionization. Even could pay somebody to strike, they really have no incentive to do so, as they'd rather earn even more money by not striking and you have no way to keep any individual person accountable.

Also I struggle to see how a worker revolution in Tanzania is going to spread to China, which then trickles down to tech workers. Keep in mind that the GDP per capita of the world is only a 1/10th of what an entry level SWE makes at a FAANG. At some point where workers in developing countries get richer, that's going to affect the quality of life of tech workers.

It was a special time. The US still had a lot of sympathy from 9/11 and yet it also burned a lot of credibility that day. Invading Iraq or its equivalent would be a hard sell today, with not only the "the West" but with its own population.

Hey HN peeps, with GenAI tools taking over a big chunk of our workload, you'd think we'd have more time to chill, right? Well I'm not sure. Instead, expectations will 10x and we're gonna be expected to focus on tougher, more complex problems for customers.

As customer expectations keep rising, we're definitely gonna need way better tools to understand them, their needs, and pain points. I saw yesterday OpenAI working on thought to text which I think will be a cool new avenue to explore.

We've only taken a few baby steps in this direction, but it's an exciting space to think about, and that's what we're trying to tackle with Contrarian AI.

We're thinking a lot about what the future of human problem-solving in this age of GenAI. How can we stay ahead of AI systems to boost our own problem-solving skills, while harnessing Gen AI to reach that advanced level?

We're trying to create a centralized repository for all your customer data, extract those essential emotional customer needs (not just requests), and then map them to your backlog of ideas. The goal is to minimize wasted time on unvalidated features.

We're not sure if it'll work out, but we're super stoked to give it a go! We'd appreciate any feedback or support on our journey!
Weighing myself daily makes me feel accountable for my food choices over the past 24 hours.
I dont thinks its a means of exploitation in the sense that controling inflation is not something anyone has mastered in hundreds of years of trying all kinds of things.
I read an article years ago about people who managed to keep the weight loss for more than 5 years, and what they had in common. Weighing themselves every day was one of the commonalities.
