Wasn’t Huffman backed by a university? And didn’t Carmack do his best work when id software was printing so much money they literally didn’t know what to do with it all?

PS: many of the large datasets people use for these things are fairly standardized and keep showing up in paper after paper. I assume that means they’re available somewhere.

Ask HN: What is a diet meets RDA nutrient and vitamins. What does it look like?
I've been tracking meals with Cronometer and find it is extremely difficult to meet the daily allotment of things, and their suggestion feature is not helpful at all.

You'd think it would be "smart" and suggest combinations of foods based on the history of things you have eaten, or what is commonly available in nearby stores. Other trackers I've tried like Fitday and Myfitnesspal do not even track that level of detail. i.e. no vitamins and nutrients.

It would be nice if someone had a resource of what a diet without processed foods that meets RDA values actually looks like, with photos of every single meal.

You'd think this kind of info would be available somewhere like https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov but it's all clipart and pie graphs. No actual food pictures.

The article says basically the same thing (though I suppose messiah is a bit of a demotion from god).

> (I think, but am not totally sure, that this is a fringe tradcath belief, and that for the overwhelming majority of Catholics (including the clergy), this doesn't matter at all; if you felt it counted, did it in good faith, &c, it counted.

This is in no way a "fringe" belief. As you can see by this archbishop's statement (he is no "fringe tradcath") Catholic clergy take validity very, very seriously.

Now there some other cases recently concerning Baptism. There was a priest who, it turned out, was never baptized at all, and therefore had never been a priest. The Church officials had to release a statement and notify everyone who was affected (because he wouldn't have been able to celebrate the Eucharist, etc.) and of course the priest was baptized and then properly ordained.

Then in yet another case, there was a priest in Arizona (and apparently also a deacon in Michigan) who had performed baptisms for nigh on 20 years using an invalid formula. The formula was invalidated by his use of "we" instead of "I". That's right, it was the wrong pronoun and it made all the difference in the world. The bishop of Phoenix released a statement to inform everyone affected that their baptism was, in fact, invalid, and they'd need to have this ceremony repeated. However, the bishop of San Diego said it wasn't really a big deal and not to worry too much about it. So yes, there is some variance about this, and there are clerics who say it doesn't matter, but I'd say that the latter bishop is an outlier, because that attitude doesn't really comport with Catholic law and doctrine. In fact I think it's harmful to tell invalidly-baptized people that it doesn't matter, because in another diocese 20 years from now, it may really really matter.

The formulas and the definition of valid matter have been distilled down to very simple elegant definitions over the years. It is definitely not difficult, for example, to bake altar bread that meets the simple definition of validity, because it's very exclusive and simple. Likewise, the words in the formula can be very simple. The priest must say "I absolve you" in the Confessional (in some language) or it doesn't work! In fact, that's all he has to say! The priest must say "This is My Body... This is... My Blood" or it's not the Eucharist!

These rules seem oh so simple and uncomplicated, but it always seems like some ad libber can get in there and bollocks it up.
World doesn't end on LLMs. Even with LLMs we have available pre-trained which can be used for something else. I think next hot area will be applications in different domains. Here even less powerful model can be a game changer. Big LLMs as services are here to stay. They will become irreplaceable and incompatible with each other.

As for "cracking", people are still trying to make "the best game ever". This will never end ;)

In the early 1800s, school children reciting their ABCs concluded the alphabet with the &.

It would have been confusing to say “X, Y, Z, and.” So, the students said, “and per se and.” Per se means “by itself,” so the students were essentially saying, “X, Y, Z, and by itself and.”

So it was just some shorthand tossed in there

The amount of times I've been told "Read the manual" and then the link to the manual was down, or the manual was out of date, or the manual was so disorganized I couldn't find what I was looking for far outnumbers the times a manual was useful.

Still a small minority. Most Reddit users use the official app and don’t even know that there are others.
except blood pressure is ALWAYS measured incorrectly at a doctors office. So what’s the point? Have you ever had a health professional follow these steps?

“Don't drink a caffeinated beverage or smoke during the 30 minutes before the test.

Sit quietly for five minutes before the test begins.

During the measurement, sit in a chair with your feet on the floor and your arm supported so your elbow is at about heart level.

The inflatable part of the cuff should completely cover at least 80% of your upper arm, and the cuff should be placed on bare skin, not over a shirt.

Don't talk during the measurement.”

source: https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/tips-to-measure-...

Very elevated readings at the doctors office are probably a sign you should get your own BP Machine and do readings at home, to see if it’s actually an issue when measured correctly.
Actively talking during blood pressure measurements can cause false positives. Listening and sampling of temperature in parallel shouldn't. Target systolic blood pressure in hypertensive adults is still 120-130 mmHg. The stroke risk is certainly not "minuscule", people die a lot less when they take the medicine. Underlying issues are likely to be exacerbated by hypertension since it causes continuous damage to major organs. Chlorthalidone is not the only anti-hypertensive medication available, there are other effective drugs with no diuretic effect, I suggest you talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of each class of drug so you can make an informed decision. They are certainly not risk free. Costs of testing and medicines are a matter of private and public policy, your doctor has zero influence on that, it's not their fault.
Hopefully they will move on to a different platform and let Reddit go the way of Slashdot and Digg.

I think it would indicate that they knew the results were not reproducible so they took down the data.
It's a classic issue of slow autocomplete systems, why should there be any perceptible delay for such tiny data sets?

If you don't double check, it's most likely that you use it for something you're certain about, so it's more like a key chord rather than a search bar? In that case for these frequent commands it might make sense to add those unique symbols/letter combos (some extra Unicode symbols can help here) so that the fuzzy algo will never trip

And not showing currently active shortcut for a palette command is just another bad UI implementation, that kind of info should be centralized/anyways up-to-date so you can use it in palettes or menus or what not

I love the counter-argument that CEOs of FAANGs are claiming that WFH harms productivity, and we should just trust them based on their word.

They've been pushing open office plans for 15-20 years now that actively disrupt productivity. Their opinions have been discredited by decades of studies on open office plans and they're the worst people to listen to about office productivity.
They’re bloody racists, so fuck them.
Reddit is a for-profit company that attracted its user base by pretending to be a public good. Now they are behaving like a company and the users are mad about it. Maybe they will be mad enough to fuel an alternative that truly is set up like a public good, but I doubt it.

here is a more realistic way this would play out:

you get a ticket. forward the said ticket to a traffic lawyer. the cop does not show up and the ticket gets dismissed.

ask me how i know. also, even if the cop does show up: 32 in 30 will get the cop laughed out of the room and the judge will be pissed cause he's wasting everyone's time.

bonus points for the cop's name :) hahahaha.

i’m not the person you responded to, and i want to be careful not to put words in their mouth, but if i’m reading them properly and from the many talks i’ve had with Anarchist friends, they would explain that as something like:

we should be striving to, when building these systems (building a business/organization/etc…) to try our best to put a bit more emphasis on not discarding the concerns of the people doing the work. an example would be, management often gets disconnected, siloed, or tunnel visioned in their thinking.

for example, an executive might not understand why an engineer sitting in meetings 90% of the time might be frustrated and why this might be hampering forward momentum. and then, executives when looking at another metric might question “our code is not up to par, why are engineers not producing?” they may never connect the dots that the executives caused the whole thing from the start.

if the business/org had built into its design where engineers/developers doing the work had more of a voice and felt more comfortable using it so their concerns can actually be heard, those kinds of tensions could be more easily addressed and solve entire classes of issues.

while i can see both sides here, i tend to agree with the Anarchist position more, both for productivity and for the overall mental health of those doing the more grunt style work.

i’ve worked in both large projects and mid/small projects and one of things that i can point to as a constant—if you give people more freedom/ownership of a project: they’re going to feel much better about it, they’re going to work harder to complete it, and they’re going to communicate and figure out clever ways to address underlying issues that may stand in the way. they’re going to feel actual pride in what they helped build.

and an opposite constant is: the more alienated someone is, the less ownership they feel over something—the less they give a shit. at this point their work devolves closer to “just a paycheck.” not only is this incredibly unhealthy for the project, but it makes the people doing the actual work feel worse/unfulfilled. i would argue (and Anarchists seem to as well) this alienation manifests in all kinds unhealthy ripple effects in society.

tldr, we should be putting more emphasis on the actual engineers/workers overall happiness levels and give them more ownership of their work. also, when i say “ownership” don’t limit your thinking to “capital ownership.”

Anarchists, if im misinterpreting, feel free to chime in and correct me.

Nobody forces you to use Microsoft products. Also, Microsoft is a large group of people with different motivations, personalities, and incentives. Sometimes the “good” people win the internal political battles, and sometimes the “bad” people win. Exactly like OSS. There are examples of evil sociopathic people involved in OSS, and plenty of political battles, oversized egos etc. However that doesn’t mean than all of OSS is evil. Same with Microsoft.

It does, however reimagine the Litany Against Fear rather well.

Prompt: Please reimagine the litany against fear as the litany against beer, a humorous alteration of the original

Response:

Certainly! Here's a playful reimagination of the "Litany against fear" from Dune, altered as the "Litany against beer":

"I shall not chug!
Beer is the mind-killer.
Beer is the little-death that brings total inebriation.
I will face my sobering thoughts.
I will permit them to pass over me and through me.
And when the beer has gone, I will turn the tap to close.
Only I will remain, fully hydrated and clear-headed."

Remember, this is just a lighthearted alteration for amusement purposes and not meant to discourage responsible drinking or promote negative attitudes towards beer. Enjoy responsibly!
Isn't there a threshold (10 minutes?) where you get twice as many ads and thus people try to make their videos at least that long?
What reddit became was actually because it was a centralised place. Everybody had be on one platform with just one account and easily connect and the platform was cared for and tended (albeit with VC money and eventually that became the undoing it).

Anyway with this fragmentation I doubt we will get anywhere. Users will be scattered across non-federated silos (and not in a good "different special interest corners of the Internet" way, but just lost and disconnected).

If it was easily doable on fediverse I'd have loved that but it is not. I am just happy Facebook and Instagram are not going to be that place.

I would rather root for the return of forum era - maybe not federated. But then that kind of forum thing gave birth to one giant Reddit (I was a pre-teen back then so do not clearly remember how it started; so maybe this is totally incorrect).
My MIL get white coat syndrome and every time she is at the hospital here numbers are much higher than at home. Her GP would not agree with this and continued to treat her with blood pressure pills aggressively. She would get dizzy and low pressure at home. Eventually switched to another doctor who trusted her and adjusted the prescription accordingly and those problems stopped and she managed to a reasonable BP range.
Ultimately a person needs to sign off or filter what any media agent or LLM "says" in a class room. AI is a program made by people and not a creation unto its own liability where people can look to it and say, "it doesnt lie"
> Why does Microsoft ship such an old version?

If I had to guess, it's probably because they got really good licensing terms for that version back in the day (e.g. flat fee for unlimited copies), and MathType is smart enough to not offer them a similar deal for a newer version.
This is not a language problem. It’s an algorithm design problem. There’s no silver bullet. The basic principle is to divide the problem space into independent blocks of work. How to achieve that depends on the problem.
