It matters for the same reason that "X written in Rust" or "which companies are using Lisp?" matters: some people refuse to give Lisp a look unless every F500 company has at least 3 major projects written in it.
> But imagine you're a small business, and you price the croissants you've just spent hours making at €1 each and you know you'll only get €0.79 of that. It feels unfair.

Then price the croissant at €1.25 instead? The US method would still make the customer pay that amount; the only difference is whether the math is done once by the seller or every 10min by a new customer.

Alternatively, I think the idea that outside some extremely broad parameters (not eating a diet lacking essential vitamins, under-eating to the point of malnourishment or over-eating to the point of severe obesity, etc) there are no particular nutritional needs is under-examined.

Nutritional Science seems based on the idea that relatively minor tweaks to diet can influence health outcomes. After several decades of failing to find what those tweaks might be, it always seems strange to me that people don't seem to consider that they might just not exist, and that the human body is fine with whatever food it gets, within some broad range.

That’s nice. I have never met a landlord that actually built the house themself. That does seem worthy of a tip.
I've certainly run into the yak-shaving problem of having to chase a hundred things down to get one thing fixed (this current job of mine is full of that shite) but the real productivity killer when my path is clear is myself; the stupid ridiculous little bugs I introduced by accident that I can't see because they're my own they can cost me hours. And I generate very regrettably large number of them so I'm constantly tripping over myself.

I keep reading what I expect to see, not what is there. If anyone has some advice on how to be less stupid in this aspect, I greatly welcome it.
> My impression is that there is pretty solid evidence that eating highly processed foods correlates with worse health outcomes.

That is the conclusion of the Nutrition piece as well. But, crucially, it's important to recognize that we don't really know why that is, and we don't know many of the particulars. To take just two examples:

- Even our distant hominid ancestors had discovered fire and were using it to heat food, so it seems very unlikely that eating raw food would be significantly better for us than eating cooked food (by evolutionary arguments)

- Cutting food is often not even considered processing, and yet it's something which has a clear negative effect on our teeth at the very least (and is a much much more recent innovation than cooking)

So yeah, don't eat a Mars bar or a Chicken McNugget if you can at all help it - and gods help you if you like Spam. But beyond the worst of these foods, the story is actually quite unclear.

Edit: the specific quote about the exact point you're making:

> One of the trial new messages being tested by the nutrition establishment is “avoid processed food,” which has the big advantage (for their future credibility) that no one is likely to adopt it. Cooking has become an unacceptable hassle.[9]

> [9] Disclosure: I do avoid processed food, and most of what I eat I cook from scratch. This is not advice.
If they're using a pre-built sales system, which they almost certainly are, the buttons come with the system. There should be an option to turn them off but there might not be. And for sure, as a seller it's tempting to leave them there.

Some people need a three-wheeled motorcycle and for them a two-wheeled one is not an "upgrade". So yes, clearly different tools for different tasks.
Agreed, its not merely the battery. But wireless headsets don't have user replaceable batteries anymore, while the device itself still works. No matter the software, the dying battery killed the product.

So I see it as a starting point, and we need further targeted iterations, including the one you pointed out (thank you!)
I think we should not really extrapolate from earlier smartphone designs, we have seen incredible improvements yearly in the early phase.

It has considerably slowed down in the last 3-5 years, so it makes sense to only mandate longer lifespans nowadays.
Meta is so big that I'm not even sure it's valid to refer to them as a whole. What I like in this context is Meta's ML research department, but to me, Meta as a whole is still the same old privacy violating, dopamine inducing, teenage deprecion and suicide causing company I've alway known.

So probably best to not mix the waters.
Except we continue to see population-wide trends in health that are surely linked to changes in average diet over the last 100 years or so.
But it's certainly possible it's far less to do with ratios of simple/complex carbs, protein & fat than widely seems to be believed and indeed linked more to either micronutrients (or lack thereof), or worse, industrial chemicals that have made their way into the food chain. Either way, even accepting variation between individuals, it's surely worth understanding better what general principles can guide how to advise on what diet and food industry changes are necessary to address public health concerns.
I’m not sure I’d say NN was the first major breakthrough.

For many years people considered them too inefficient to compete with SVM, and people genuinely thought kernels was the way to intelligent machines.

Today you find researchers claiming that Bayesian nets will outcompete NN.

We’ve also seen tremendous success of random forests and other ensemble models.

I am sure there are plenty of researchers looking into all sorts of novel ensembles.

I think the major breakthrough is ensemble models and with a little bit of cheekiness you can say that NN are ensemble logistic regressions.
Just because it’s technically correct doesn’t make it useful or helpful.

It’s technically correct that computer instructions are all in binary. Yet learning binary is not useful to people trying to code in Python.

If the python community started to tell learners “it’s all binary in the end”, it being true wouldn’t make it any less of an unhelpful reductive bullshit claim.
Yes Rubin was instrumental no doubt. He let them choose either Beastie Boys will be just 3 white guys or I am out. At this time I believe Beastie Boys was still a hardcore band and on their way to becoming a rap group. Rubin just don’t see Kate as part of the BB rap future.

great decision! Reddit sucks anyways (regardless of the current events) and will suck even more after the majority of Third-party apps are being cut-off.
As someone who did competitive weightlifting early in my life I don't think it's true.

First of all, a healthy body is very good at adaptation, i.e. if properly trained, your bones, muscles and other tissues get thicker and less prone to tearing, breakage etc.

Second, you will be surprised at how much pressure could daily activities put on your tissues, e.g. your vertabrae disks get higher pressure when you are wobbly sitting than standing even with some additional load. And in my experience people who train their body for extreme conditions have less problems in their elderly than people who never trained much at all.

And as you've noticed, most sportspeople have troubles with their serious traumas, not due to routine trainings. Plus of course this traumatization level varies from sport to sport.
There are two things people understand by CICO:

1. The broad idea that your weight loss/gain is affected by the caloric content of the food you eat and the amount of excercise you get. This is almost trivially true from simple thermodynamic arguments, and no one contradicts it.

2. The specific belief that weight loss is completely reducible to using your free will to eat less calories and do more sports, and that there is no further discussion to be made on how to help someone lose weight (e.g. no medical checkups for hormone issues, no therapy for mental health, no look at the fattening effects of medication or pollutants, no caring about microbiomes, etc.). This part is what is harmful bullshit, since it posits that human beings of strong moral character should not let their basic biology affect their behavior.
Thank you for such an article.

* In some systems I want to reply ASAP because a message is on the hot path, so the response is acknowledgement of persisting data and an fsync to assure the request was saved and maybe an identifier so the progress of the request can be checked. I might want to send some work to background processes.

* I feel systems lack end-to-end responsiveness. If you're polling with REST to see if something is finished then there's a problem with your design chosen by the kind of async you chose.

* I feel async/sync nonblocking/blocking push/pull is orthogonal to everything in your system design and everything falls out from that decision. If only there was a way to map between the three. I am working in this space: I want async/sync to be something that can be seamlessly switched between and handled by the infrastructural plumbing and you can focus on the business logic.

* I think systems design is actually a tree for performance reasons similar to Rust communicating between nodes is slow as it introduces round trip times.
ok, thanks. At least (as the article notes) there seems to be progress on the code generation question which was maybe the biggest objection ("proposed JIT allocator").
So organising a group of bots to influence a decision?
Glad that it worked well for you! I don't have any general advice that would be useful but that sounds like an interesting project
Don't be restrictive, be overly permissive.

Right now I am US based, and I'm thinking of incorporating in the US. Not because of any preference for the venue, but because of our limited resources and volunteer distribution. Honestly I'd prefer Canada, but as I am 2000 km away from there, it's not optimal for many of us. Anywhere in Europe would be better than being in the UK.

In any case I'm pretty sure we could get 501(c)3 public charity status, even though Miraheze missed out on charity status in the UK. If you could follow up on-wiki about co-op status as an option, I'd appreciate it.

On accountability: Members of the board need to come from the community and represent the community. Yes, it's true that no one tried to run for the board seats that were available, but people weren't encouraged to do so enough. I don't think the decisions were bad in and of themselves, but that not enough effort was made to get community support.

On paid premium features: I'm not opposed, but I want to see a business model that works without taking significant resources away from our free customers.

100% on this. Maybe we're just too early - I'm still waiting for this kind of UI so I don't have to think too hard about providers or the weirdness of the whole thing.
Steady state thinking. Of course gold would become cheaper, sure. But you will have bought all the actual productive assets first!

This is the same trick economists play when saying "inflation doesn't matter". It doesn't in the steady state, but in the meanwhile, I printed the money and gave it to my friends, who do you think is going to end up owning all the hard assets?
I dont want to tell others how to write code, but if you need to provide a rest api mock to test more than just the thing that does requests, your code could likely be improved a lot by decoupling things.

Your specific task sounds like maybe it calls for Wiremock, since it is presumably a third party HTTP API and you'd like to pretend this service has some defined behaviour while testing your integration does what you expect.

Thanks for the feedback, I haven't done much optimization in regards to the summary.

The screen real-estate of the summary has to be small so it is limited in the amount of information it can display but your example could be a good starting point to see how the key points can be better captured
It's a balancing act. I think Marginalia is a bit too literal with the search terms right now, and Google is way too far off in the other end of the spectrum.

Query understanding is one of the things I'm hoping to address this year. It's very crude right now with some pretty obvious low hanging fruit in the scientific literature that's ripe for implementation.
I have no idea, but:

Groundwater naturally is somewhat steady state. You get rain, it filters through and then there is spring or something somewhere and goes back to cycle in river or evaporation. Part of the cycle.

Now if you remove more water than exit through the natural processes you move it out from groundwater table. Thus creating imbalance and changing the steady state.
That's reasonable, planning to add it tomorrow

I'm going to guess they don't like catching the bus, or they're not fully abled but have no taxi vouchers issued for whatever reason.

(Maybe C.Link stopped issueing taxi vouchers for those in need? Wouldn't suprise me.)

I'm in Australia and have used the benefits system here some years past. Generally Centrelink offices are opposite the stop for a high volume bus route (or three) and often not far from a train station.

Granted it takes a chunk out of the day, but many get by sans car using public transport or a bike.
You could use this as an argument against any sort of protest that inconveniences bystanders.
>Now that I'm back in Silicon Valley working for the FANGMAN on a tiny piece of His next attempt at world domination, I get exhausted and burned out pretty quick. I've got maybe 4 good hours of concentrated effort in me per day, it's a struggle to drag myself into the office, the week just crawls by and the weekend is gone in a flash..

It helps to disconnect from whatever it is the company is doing and value your time and expertise more. The success of whatever you're working on is not a reflection of you or your skills. Oh that experiment didn't work? That new product feature flopped? Meh, I'm paid by the hour to execute my expertise at my comfortable pace toward their goal regardless of how realistic or achievable it is. Embrace the jira ticket monkey mindset. Don't try to work around the org inefficiencies, embrace and amplify them. Oh I need to wait for some indeterminate time for access/permission? Blocked by another team? Scheduled for stupid meetings sprinkled through the day such that you can't get a proper maker's schedule[1]? The work isn't structured well? The priorities change frequently enough for whiplash? I get paid regardless. So what if my productivity or output is low due to their nonsense? Disconnecting mentally really helps prevent the exhaustion and burnout. Don't try to do the PO's/PM's/Boss' job. It's their money to waste, their dumb decisions to make, and none of it is your concern.

At least for me, a healthy dose of perspective makes it much easier to go into the office; enjoy the amenities, free feed, and getting some social time in. The weather has been fantastic the last few weeks and I've been cycling into work. I save my quality mental focus for other things, including keeping an eye out for gigs and opportunities where it makes sense to mentally connect.

Lemmy! I've been checking it out lately and people are moving popular subreddits to Lemmy's servers. It's a bit confusing at first but once you get it, it works like email. And it's... fantastic!

But I'll wait for this protest to die down to see its "real" value. Most of the posts now are about the protest and migration from Reddit. Things are on fire now.
Youre mostly right, but Zig is not higher level than C. In some ways, its lower level, as in C the allocator you use is mostly abstracted away, while in zig its usually required to be specified.
Sure, you're right, probably waiting a few years until rates go down again and then buying an apartment with 30 year fixed rate is a better strategy.
1. Yeh - but what sets Matrix aside is that you're abstracted away from the conceptual side of federation. As I said, this is about UI as much as anything else. Non nerds are used to "going to InstaFaceTubeDdit and seeing the stuff they want to read" - not having to wrangle with the conceptual stuff about instances, weird looking addresses and usernames, etc.

2. I mean, Wikipedia, but it's not the point. Yes, us tech people are maybe concerned about things being shit, lock-in, etc - but literally no-one else cares. So our best approach isn't to make something perfect from the tech point of view, but perfect enough that there is mass migration to it - because, as we all know, it ain't about the tech, it's about the momentum, content and growth. And in order to get these into a serious shape, we need migration. And to get migration we need slick, beautiful, easy to use UIs.
That should trigger the good sense of any “Zen of Python” die-hard. Not saying I haven’t used/got access to double-underscore thingies in Python in my 15+ years of writing Python code, but I always felt dirty in doing that.
A very large percentage of product engineers at some of the biggest tech companies, eg Meta, regularly run their own experiments.
