If somebody exercises hard and sufficiently, of course it can lead to (a boost in) weight loss.

It's just difficult and requires a lot of willpower. Provided you actually worked (didn't sit on a machine at the gym on your phone), burned a decent amount (typically cardio works best), and don't replace the extra calories you burned out with more food, it's all helping you achieve a CICO deficit.

9 times out of 10, it is all CICO.
YES! I'm using PHP to build my Search Engine for Kids Activities (http://twkids.app) and its been great!

I love PHP as there's no other language that provides the same simplicity and immediacy of results. I tried learning multiple frameworks but it was just too overwhelming and complicated. With PHP, its very easy to just get started as you can mix it right into your html.

I just learned the basics on http://w3schools.com and just started working on my project (http://twkids.app) right away. I think the best way to learn is to just build something real. Then just Google your questions along the way.

Good Luck!

> The situation really got bad by the mid 70s when the gap with western neighbors started increasing and a wind of social and political change hit most of the countries in the pact.

Yeah, but there was an entire generation that grew up post-70s. Post-war Europe was just focused on rebuilding, and the centrally planned economies did an OK job, but after Prague Spring things got progressively worse and worse.

You are wrong that people had access to cheap housing and basic goods. While, yes, it was a much better material living standard than third world countries, families with two kids still had to be crammed into tiny one bedroom apartments and considered themselves lucky. Those big grey blocky buildings? You waited 30 years to get an apartment in one of those. You waited 5 years for a car.

It wasn't great. People had enough to eat, and heat in the winter and the streets were safe, but not much more than that. And while you didn't "hussle" to get ahead, you had to do a lot of political maneuvering to get ahead, which probably worked out to be about as stressful.

I think your revisionist view of history is as dangerous as the people responding to you saying the opposite. We should be clear that this way of running a society is thoroughly discredited. Was it the worst place to live? No. Social progress was even made, as you point out. But it was much, much worse than than you seem to imply.
Yeah, high end enthusiast hardware is in fact pretty niche, and I say this as someone with a 5950X/3080Ti tower. The vast majority of people playing games are doing so on pretty old/average hardware, a bar which is met and exceeded by several M-series Macs.

Considering that the amount of computing that could be rented for the price of a house every month could now be bought for $20, this isn't surprising.

What's surprising is that with all these resources made available to the world, we still have systems that allow hoarding of wealth to such a degree that most people can't afford to own a home and many can barely afford rent and food.
> Ray backend runner

Yes, give it a whirl and let us know what you think! Ray is amazing and has actually gotten a lot better post their 2.0 release :)

> Is this based on Apache Arrow?

Indeed it is, and thanks for the feedback. We'll make this a little more visible. We use the arrow2 Rust crate (same one that Polars uses) for our in-memory data representation.

Our data representation makes it such that converting Daft into a Ray dataset (`df.to_ray_dataset()`) is actually zero-copy. So you can go from data transformations into downstream ML stuff in Ray really easily.

> It would be AMAZING to be able to take Polars code and run it in a distributed cluster with minimal changes.

Unfortunately we don't have Polars API compatibility. This seems to be a recurring theme in this thread though. The problem is that certain Polars expressions are non-trivial to do in a distributed setting, and Polars itself as a project is so young and moves so quickly it's hard for us to maintain 100% API-compatibility.

That being said, you are correct that a lot of the API is very much inspired by Polars, which should hopefully make it easy to move between the two.

There's a difference between CPU-GPU shared memory and unified memory, although not everyone seems to be using "unified" in the same sense.

What Apple appear to have with their M2 chips is shared memory meaning that the CPU and GPU are directly accessing the same memory chips. On the just-announced M2 Ultra chip they are claiming 800GB/sec memory bandwidth, which compares well to the 1TB/sec on a recent NVIDIA card.

Unified memory, at least as NVIDIA use the term, only refers to a unified address space such that the GPU and CPU (located on opposite sides of the PCI bus) can use the same address space to access memory. However, the memory being mapped to by this unified address space may be on either side of the PCI bus (i.e be CPU memory or GPU memory) and may migrate from one side to the other to optimize performance. Given how slow PCI bus transfers are compared to GPU memory bandwidth, the use cases for this is not at all the same as true shared memory... It's really just a developer convenience feature to not have to explicitly orchestrate CPU-GPU memory transfers yourself (which you may be better off doing to maximize performance).

NVIDIA seem to be going in the same direction as Apple here, with their latest designs integrating GPU and CPU on a single module.

You say dark patterns, but the true dark behavior is AI copying (^H^H learning from) all those stock photos and giving them away for free.
> Doesn't this sort of insinuate that the tipping pressure would still be (too) high if they make less than that?

There would still remain the other pressures to tip, yes, but it would at least defang the extortion aspect of it.

> No one is holding a gun to your kid's head, no one is threatening to release incriminating photos of you.

No, instead, the threat is "if you don't tip, you're denying the employee a portion of their already meager wages". That's extortion in my book.

A tip is supposed to be a reward, a kind of gift. Framing it as pay removes all the positive aspects of tipping and turns it into extortion.

> you're worried that a coworker or a girlfriend will notice you only left 18%, despite that being $25, and that they'll think less of you for it.

That is a thing I don't worry about even to the tiniest degree.
Actually it's s//cult leaders, the established religions are quite open about the ideas and texts underlying their beliefs (then some of them insist you need a cleric for interpretation). In cults that information is hidden and only accessible once someone has risen to the inner circle of the cult.

I suppose the question at hand is whether it is infantile to want to express one’s individuality at all times, or whether it is infantile to assimilate into a group.

As with most things, both extremes are probably undesirable at the scale of a society. I also think it’s hard to deny that the needle has tipped very far in a particular direction.

Developer on the trulens team here. We just put out a pretty cool new release (0.1.2). Integration with huggingface pipelines in langchain and asynchronous feedback management are just some of the useful updates in this release.

It’s obviously not black and white. I’ve worked on bigger, more mature, products where not giving all users access to the latest features was unacceptable. And I’ve work on products where dropping an old version early only impacted like 2 users and it was acceptable. And big companies where it was okay to let ild versions lag because the model and api layer was super stable. Ultimately it’s a product decision not some unquestionable dogma and there no reason engineering can’t contribute to the discussion. It just turns out that the last two major versions is a good rule of thumb for most scenarios. It works very well in practice.

You have the math backwards. It would be like saying that someone who guesses your 4 letter pin code is a mind reader because the likelihood of that is low.

You are not factoring in how many times he has tried to guess other people's pins. Or if some pins are more common than others.

Similarly here you are not factoring in how often an entire group of sensors has the same big and repots incorrect data at the same time in the same way. You are Cherry picking the one time the data looked like it might be a UFO. This is also a form of confirmation bias.

One YouTube comment echoed my experience with Dvorak:

> Often overlooked is that the main reason for switching to dvorak isn't speed for most users. The dvorak layout is layed out for minimal movement while maintaining a roughly even split between hands. This reduces strain on a typists hands and helps a great deal with comfort when typing for longer periods of time.

I may not type faster than if I had stuck with qwerty, but I definitely don't have the wrist problems I keep hearing coworkers complain about.
But this is exactly the point of the paper, that you have to question that, but for me the tombs are very precise.

"In some cases, however, the inscriptions make explicit reference to human victims, with expressions such as »zrm»ˇs(t), (a person who has
not yet reached maturity) and mlk b–l (an offering of a citizen); in the Hellenistic period the phrase mlk »dm (human offering) is found. An interpretation of these construct phrases as ‘offering by a citizen/human’ rather than ‘offering of a citizen/human’ must be ruled out by the fact that the phrase mlk »mr is also found at both Cirta and Carthage: ‘offering of a sheep’ (Amadasi Guzzo 2007–2008: 350)."
It’s a database
More controversially, note that Phoenicia invented the alphabet, had the first maritime global trade empire, colonized Europe in the 13th century BC, and Punic dynasties eventually sat on the Roman throne despite losing the Punic wars ostensibly, with one such Severan emperor dismantling the Pantheon of Jupiter. You can also trace Byzantine dynasties back eastward and later empires too have this connection through dynasties like the Komnenos. So those conspiracy theories claiming Jewish world domination are all rather quaint when you consider that Israel was just a backwater in the classical era and antiquity and it was actually Phoenician merchants who were kingmakers in Babylon and Egypt (due to their control of the Cedars of the Gods which were crucial lumber products for shipbuilding) and would later snowball with their holdings and power as time progressed, or maybe they conveniently fell into obscurity :^)

I'm not sure exactly how much Apple subsidized the original iPhone, but if they want adoption and want people actually using this thing, they'd better use the same strategy.

Apple heavily subsidized the original iPhone, and we all know how that went. If it's not priced for innovation, nobody besides wealthy corporations will develop for it, and that will kill the product.

North Africa / Fertile Crescent are not as fertile as say the Nile or the deep European forests. There are also much less rivers in these civilizations. My guess is that this was a measure of population control as the natural death rate was not high enough for the region. Since there was no birth-control method, the only method left is to kill the kid.

It's a good idea to disguise this as "child sacrifice" as in the "GOD" asked you to do this. Kind of make you at ease with the decision and execution since you'd not do it on your own.

But hey, that's just my guess and am a random dude on the Internet.
> It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the moving pieces

Exactly my thoughts! Isn't there something (open source and as good as Prometheus+Grafana) that doesn't have as many moving parts as the stack used by OP? I can imagine there are many use cases for that: from side projects (homelabs) to small startups that don't have huge distributed systems, but still need monitoring (without relying on third-parties).

Ideally, my setup would be:

- install an agent in each server I'm interesting in gathering metrics from. In this regard, Prometheus works just fine

- one service to handle logs/metrics/traces ingestion and that allows you to search and visualize your stuff in nice dashboards. Grafana works, but it doesn't support logs and traces out of the box (you need Loki for that)

So, basically 2 pieces of software (if they can be installed by just dropping a binary, even better)
Hi there! Ah, the design of our interface... You've just touched on a topic that's seen more passionate debates in our team than whether pineapple belongs on pizza.

In the end, we chose to go with a vertical layout mainly for simplicity and intuitiveness. The vertical block builder provides a linear, straightforward visual representation of the workflow, which can be easily understood at a glance and aligns well with regular standard vertical scrolling. Another factor was visual clarity i.e. presenting a clear view of the sequence of operations, also helping make the flow easier to understand and debug.

That said, we understand that more complex workflows can benefit from a node-based editor's flexibility.
Well, I mean, software in general is one of the only items I can think of where you can intentionally sell someone something that is broken and promise to fix it in the future if they keep paying you, otherwise make it unusable for them.
Path dependence is a kind of market failure. Libertarians like to pretend that market failure does not exist in free markets because market failure implies market intervention.

The authors of "The Fable of the Keys" have frequently argued against the existence of path dependence. https://eh.net/encyclopedia/path-dependence/
It’s common to take appearance and dress as an indicator of such beliefs though, however misguided that might be.
Isn't this standard operating procedure for anything retail? Why is Dell being singled out?

Amazon is notorious about this. Look at the prices before one of their "events" on items, and then when the "event" starts you'll see that the price is the same only they list a higher price as the original and show the normal price as the sales price. So there's no difference in price before/after the event.

Brick and mortar stores like JC Penny, Sears, Macy's, etc do the same thing where every week there are "sales". They all play on the psychology of the word "sale".

Maybe OP means Publix doubles the price compared to another grocery store, not to the price they were selling it for last week. I don't live near a Publix, but of the chains near me, one seems to always have BOGO sales, but the prices are more or less twice as much as similar products at other stores.
