> Try doing endurance exercise without any carbs, and you are going to have a really bad time.

I prefer to only do my endurance exercises in a fasted state, anywhere between 12-24 hours. The only thing i ingest is some salt, magnesium and potassium and water. I have no problem and I feel great. 30 minutes on the bike with resistence turned up or jogging 2-3 miles. Ketones burn cleaner than glucose with less reactive byproducts. There is a study on pubmed that found when the brain has the choice between glucose and ketones in the bloodstream it chooses ketones. You don't need dietary carbs, your body can make its own glucose from proteins if it needs. There's plenty of research on this.
Official anti-clericalism and state atheism lasted for a very short period of time, not nearly enough to do any damage to the churches save for surface vandalism and pillaging of the statuary, furniture etc.

The great victims of the Revolution are the monasteries and the castles. The monasteries were officially dissolved (in a movement similar to what had happened in England under Henry VIII), their land redistributed and their buildings sold for stone. The same happened to aristocratic holdings and most Medieval castles that somehow managed to survive until then were destroyed over the first half of the 19th c.

That's how we've lost some of the most iconic monuments of Western civilization (I'm in particular thinking of Cluny, whose archives were burnt, manuscripts vandalized and stolen, stones parted out).
Every country spies on every country. You could print this article with no evidence.
I happen to hate the server based workflow. When I visit a restaurant I do it to relax, for the experience, and to talk to whoever is with me. Not mess around talking to a random employee.

It goes both ways.
No thanks, I get high with Javascript alone and a hangover so bad that lasts the entire weekend.
Slow pacing can be considered an essential part of the story. It certainly aids with building tension and fits in with a space mining crew that would be sat around with nothing to do for long periods of time.

Maybe part of the problem is that due to its success, a lot of the designs and themes have been copied elsewhere, so it's less captivating. Back in the day, there was nothing like those Giger sets, so people were quite happy to see a slow descent into an alien spaceship.
Everyone I know who didn't go in to this with a lot of income above their spending level is struggling, mostly due to price increases in things they can't not spend money on. Housing's way up the list, and food, which, I dunno, maybe it's a local thing, but that's up a ton more than overall US inflation figures would lead one to guess. Utility prices are up, too. Basically the only things that are still cheap are optional crap. Extremely-low-paid (think: fast food worker) jobs saw a bump, but jobs above that aren't seeing a corresponding increase, so the bottom's basically just flattened and now a bunch more people are making the same money as fast food workers, which is about the same as they were making before, while their expenses are up a lot.
It's because Alien is a suspenseful horror movie, not an action movie. Aliens might be a better fit for you if you need it punched up.
They were normal for a long time in the US, took a backseat from 2009-2014 or so and are back again.

I'm really shocked whenever I hear someone has an ARM again. 2008 wasn't that long ago!
No - it's not because they specifically support the settlers.

But because they don't give a fuck. The Palestinians are far too small in number (and most especially political clout) for them to make any accommodations for. Especially if it upsets public opinion in that larger (and infinitely stronger) country they have the misfortune of being surrounded by.
I think GP means the new Thunderbird logo looks way too similar to the Firefox dev logo.
It really does. They are all custom tailored for each client. The customization includes data sources, processes, reports, and a range of other topics. It's difficult because the project is to replace a working system with another different working system with minimal downtime. Often, a large number of people need to be retrained on the replacement system -- a system that integrates with a labor force of 50,000 people is not uncommon.
Yeah the immediately following "public opinion" section is particularly interesting. really makes u think.
What impact did O2 restriction have on resting heart rate? The reason I ask is that mice do not eat a Standard American Diet or Standard First World Diet. As such their risk for hypertension may be quite a bit lower than that of a human.

The alternative is to build purpose built software, but that would require this municipality to pay SWEs (among other folks) directly. An interesting case study would be if it were actually cheaper in the end to just employ some software engineers and write something catered to themselves.
> Civil rights, including those in the First Amendment, are not absolute. Regarding speech, you also can't harass people, threaten them, defraud them, incite violence, distribute copyrighted information that isn't yours, interfere with others' activities (sing loudly in a movie theater), etc. Private entities such as your employer can restrict your speech in many ways.

That's all true and should be true, but it's also possible to take these limitations too fare, and we have.
Oh yes. Walking up at night, scared, thinking there was something in the room. Childhood (well, teenage) memories I'll treasure to the end,
Much appreciated. My image has a slightly different twist. Might be helpful to others.

Plus, from time to time, I will contribute back. Making sure upstream still works.
> There is a growing trend that when research doesn't hold up (especially in regards to its significance/magnitude/importance), we resort to blaming the journalists who printed the article hyping it. That is seen on here constantly.

The parent comment is trying to dismiss an entire field and also preemptively dismiss new studies based on some past anecdotes.

It's the exact same trick used by climate science deniers who go back and cherry pick some old studies where the conclusion changed: Pick some old studies where the conclusion changed, announce that science is fallible, then dismiss the entire field.

It's ridiculous logic to anyone who understands how science works, but it's very appealing to people who like to be contrarian.
It's against the terms of service to do the generation, but the generated text is not copyrighted. Those are different things.
That book was used in my "intro to higher math" class my freshman year. A very humbling experience, seeing that cover again gave me a bit of a knot in my stomach.
> Does ERP really need customisation?

Yes, for a number of reasons:

1. An ERP system consists of thousands of modules, out of which a smaller subset is needed by the customer. One typically pays by module so you want your number of modules to be as small as possible.

2. A customer this size has already implemented a number of business processes that they are not willing to sacrifice, even though an ERP provider will do their best to have them import "their" way of doing things.

3. Customers want to acquire an edge, not be on the same level playing field as the competition. "Kill you darlings" - eh, no.

4. If a municipality buys an ERP system tailored to manufacturing/trading, well then you have substantial customization ahead.
So I take it you don't look at physical menus either? I imagine that would largely detract from you enjoying time with your people as you'd be staring at a piece of paper.
LLM written satire about LLM?
Imperialism, Colonialism, the Gilded Age, etc.
Lots of good criticisms here, but I'm surprised I haven't seen my main pain point here.

My main beef is when a restaurant has no paper menu, and when you attempt to scan the QR code it takes you to a portal, where you have to REGISTER/SIGN-IN to see a menu.

Nuh-uh. F you and your dodgy dark pattern data mining crap. I'm eating somewhere else.
Maybe in your country. In mine (Canada) even fixed rate mortgages are rarely locked in beyond 5 years, so every mortgage holder will be getting a notable bump in costs in the next few years if rates don't moderate again. In many cases, their servicing rates had 40ish% increases so it's not immaterial.
The goal is to make the materials as accessible as possible. So we're definitely not limited to the structure of a typical university course and are happy to iterate on it.

I appreciate you elaborating on your feedback. Thank you.
Why would you be so snarky in your answer? Always better to be humble and assume you might be wrong. In this case you are: Nobody chains promises anymore.
Hamas keeps sending Qassam and other rockets towards Israel, indiscriminately targeting everything while using human shields to defend launch and command sites in a clear violation of international law. On top of that come suicide bombers targeting civilians, which is clearly and indisputably terrorism, and on top of that they pay off the families of martyrs and terrorists, thereby creating a massive financial incentive.

Israel isn't free from blame - particularly the actions of Ben Gvir and friends or the expansions of settlement activity are reprehensible and completely unnecessary provocations - but nothing they do is even remotely as bad as what comes out of Palestine.
I don't think you are wrong there. There is always a lot of subjectivity with things like this. Many people would never ever consider picking up a phone while watching any movie, while for others even absolutely exciting movies like Escape from NY feel boring. It's about taste, not about the film being old, and I'm sure it was exactly the same when it was released.

I'm pretty sure big cloud companies will keep using tape for a long time.

For a home/small business it's still too much effort and expensive.

I tried revisiting this topic so often and HDD was always so much cheaper for just 5-30tb which is quite a lot for quite a lot of companies.
> too slow for a general audience in the 2020s

I think that says a lot about the latest generations and the boom in children hyperactivity disorders.
I think this is generally true, but is it true right now?

It seems like all generations know we aren't in great times.
iPhones can only do what Apple allows developers to do, which isn’t much.

A random payment provider can’t use NFC on the iPhone, but they can use the camera. So here we are. QR payments are super popular all over Asia (and yes they suck, but you can blame Apple)
You don't live in a European city near the sea. Airbnb is a plague. We used to use a house sharing in summer, we did it for years, until Airbnb killed it. It was an exchange 1 to 1 in term of population, we now do x5 to x10 in summer.

Now that the harm is done (speculation on housing priced out teachers and low income workers, old, niche stores turned into tourist traps), we finally have regulation. A bit too late. But at least the mayor is adding 20k housing units (+20%), driving the price down and making speculators eat a fat loss.

Uber was regulated much faster so it's impact have mostly been positive, unless you've been raped by a predator as they used to not check their drivers.

You have to regulate ahead of time, even if it's soft and toothless in the beginning. Check the EU proposal to regulate AI, it seems really, really soft.
This is an exciting release to be sure. Very happy to see that the CPU improvements include ARM, diversity is good!

Given the current release pace, I'd love to have another upgrade path than `pg_dump | psql`. That would remove a great deal of friction in prod.
… that’s a lot of email isn’t it?
Former ERP consultant here. There are infinite ways to do business: different perspectives to take on the same situation, different deal structures, different data sources, reporting, etc.

You can run your business / org exactly as the ERP designers envisioned, but that means you'll have to adapt to your ERP, which is wrong-headed and certainly much more expensive in a large org.

Even the most vanilla implementation for a small business will have a degree of customization.
I think they are required by law to do so. At least in the US.

Who ever said it has to be logically derived?

Most of what we do and how we think is not “logically derived” and is extremely subjective; we’re human, not Vulcan.
I too learned most of what I knew about Unix at the time from man pages although I did have a support group in that I worked for a retailer who sold Unix machines to small businesses.

We had Altos Xenix machines and AT & T's PC 7300 with Kaypro, Compaq, Columbia and of course "real" PCs from IBM all sitting on the sales floor. In fact weirdly IBM's short-lived attempt to keep their PC line from gutting midrange sales by selling a small midrange server introduced me to a truly bizarre Unixism.

A bunch of us from the retail org were sent to IBM training on these new old systems. Unfortunately for the trainers alot of our feedback was "this is so much easier in Unix or Windows". Lol.

But during the training, I actually had some dudes tell me it was "too dangerous" for the "general public" to have root and they were members of the California Root User's association and would be calling my boss shortly to take over management of our computers. Lol. In retrospect I hope they were trolling 18-year-old me.

But I've bumped into the attitude since where people are terrified of running at a naked root prompt and insist every command must be buffered through sudo, as though that somehow insulates you from typos. And I once sat in a presentation where a cybersecurity consulting firm suggested were fire the hundreds of sysadmins we had to manage our environment and instead employ them to supply two 5-10 person admin teams. Those teams would spend the majority of their time red teaming each other but could do admin duties to fill in the gaps of their spare time.

Anyway. The most bizarre thing about Unix is having learned its use in the 80s I'm still using a derivative to this day. That's not a shot at Unix. I just always assumed there would be some next big thing and we'd all move on.

Any DOS app with a curses interface is a desktop application, yes. Any terminal tool with a TUI is a desktop application. A command-line tool without an interface (just arguments and pipes) is not, because it does not aim to be interactive. A terminal tool that just asks questions is a bad desktop applications, but simple form apps exist in the GUI world too.

All UIs are made of text and symbolic visual elements. Whether you draw your button with unicode block characters, a GtkButton, a Flutter TextButton, or a HTML <button> does not matter in the slightest from the perspective of being a desktop app or having a UI.

The reason an Android an iOS app is not a desktop app is because it does not run on a desktop. A minor distinction, but the way we use our pocket computers is different from how we use our desk computers and so we distinguish between them. The line gets beautifully blurred once you run the iOS app on macOS or Android app on Windows 11, but humans are bad at categorizing things in ways that remain consistent for more than a few years - just ask any biologist.

Everyone freaked out about rising wages because they saw fast-food worker "we're hiring" signs offering $17/hr... meanwhile the $20/hr worker nearby saw a 1.5% COL raise in a 10+% inflation environment (and higher inflation on the cost of things that actually matter).
In the U.K. I’ve seen a lot of bar staff press 0% as they hand you the machine.
Right. Consider whether this really impacts you as a person.

1) Who will see it? What will be the consequences? If no one, then look past the delivery and consider just the content.

2) Use it as useful feedback and information that you otherwise might have never gotten. Consider how many people may have thought similar things but were too nice to say anything. Finally someone spoke up and told you what others were thinking. Then you will come to regard the (private) exposing of a flaw with appreciation!

3) Treat it as you would any focus group, it is just one data point. Sometimes the frustrating thing is when the criticism is wrong and is just a product of how things are done locally. If you are un a full-time job, just embrace how things are done. If your solution serves many other clients, you may have to file it among other priorities.

When you start to focus on the work and the outcome, you don’t focus on criticism as a personal attack, even if it was meant as one you extract the actual usefulness from it.
Stability by itself means being content, so being not content cannot bring stability. I guess stability doesn't explore the darkness for other possible dangers, doesn't prepare us for surprises all too well, thus we yearn for something undefined called stability but will never stop when we attained the last year's definition.
Yeah my post-prandial crash was definitely caused by carbohydrate.
R.I.P. Dan O'Bannon. Dark Star is another one of my favorites. I think Dan kept that film-school vibe when he penned Alien.

Unlike a lot of others, I am not as big a fan of Aliens. The characters are a bit too corny.
People with loooong memories will say that Islamic Palestine arose after the forcible removal of Jewish culture from the area after the Jewish wars against Rome, at which point the Romans relabelled the area from Judea to Syria Palestina.
Therefore the idea that Palestinians are 'indigenous' is in contention, since the diasporic Jewish people retained their language and customs in the interim, and then sought refuge in their land of origin throughout the early 20th century and beyond.
Even the word 'semitic' describes a cultural (language) origin in the Middle East, so to describe Palestine as occupied (and therefore the Jews as being interlopers) is technically "antisemitic".
I don't think these things excuse the human rights abuses caused by the current state, but its opponents often call for its dissolution based on their 'rightful' ownership of the land which is a gray area.
"moved around a bit" well, the amount which gets moved around is enormous. I don't know how its done now (I do know its still being done), but the way it was done was it was getting moved to The Netherlands to Ireland to The Netherlands. There's even a Dutch term for such a company: brievenbusfirma, and the location knows for them residing: Amsterdam Zuidas. So we get the curious situation where Ikea is a Dutch company.

You're crying wolf about "disproportionality high taxes and compliance costs" but these examples of yours are drops in a bucket compared to the tax evasion severity.
Why you should consider logotherapy.
Unbelievable that they completely missed to mention the equivalent in size but failed airship company Cargolifter in Germany.

They operated in the early 2000s and went bankrupt.

I disagree. If it had become powerful enough for them to support node/npm sooner they would have supported it sooner. Pure Deno stuff like fresh is still packaged in a Golang-like way.
They are GNNs with attention as the message passing function and additional concatenated positional embeddings. As for reasoning, these are not quite 'problems well-trained for', in the sense that they're not in the training data. But they are likely problems that have some abstract algorithmic similarity, which is the point.

I'm not quite sure what you mean that they cannot do causal graph analysis, since that was one of many different tasks provided in the various different types of reasoning studies in the paper I mentioned. In fact it may have been the best performing task. Perhaps try checking the paper again - it's quite a lot of experiments and text, so it's understandable to not ingest all of it quickly.

In addition, if you're interested in seeing further evidence of algorithmic reasoning capabilities occurring in transformers, Hattie Zhou has a good paper on that as well. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.09066.pdf

The story is really not shaping up to be 'stochastic parrots' if any real deep analysis is performed. The only way that I see someone could have such a conclusion is if they are not an expert in the field, and simply glance at the mechanics for a few seconds and try to ham handedly describe the system (hence the phrase: "it just predicts next token"). Of course, this is a bit harsh, and I don't mean to suggest that these systems are somehow performing similar brain-like reasoning mechanisms (whatever that may mean) etc, but stating that they cannot reason (when there is literature on the subject) because 'its just statistics' is definitely not accurate.
You're comparing apples and oranges. The counterparts to the government of Israel would be the PA and Hamas, not "Palestine".

There is no objective measure of terrorism since that designation is a political one. You can look at the objectivity of the criteria but the choosing of the criteria is unavoidably political. The question is not whether or not the definition is objective, but whether or not it is fairly applied. How would you describe a government that pays the families of "martyrs" who blow themselves up in coffee shops and restaurants, not despite but for their actions?

Sure you're not criticizing them as a person, but let's say they really like what they wrote. It's their masterpiece. Then someone comes in and says it's garbage that shouldn't have been written (intentionally using strong language because people do that).

I don't understand not feeling bummed out by that type of critique. Sure it's not about you as a person or your values, but dang that sucks.
