>Nutrition Labels in India are strange. Many drinks (like refrigerated shakes etc.) have nutritional information per 100 millilitres, whereas the actual bottle is say 330 millilitres, and the "serving size" will be defined as 250 millilters.

Why is it strange? The metric system? It's exactly the same in Europe. Nutritional information is per 100ml/g, so that you can easily understand compare nutritional values.

>Most people are not that careful anyway - they might glance at the nutritional label, and see that the sugars are only 7.5% and think: that's pretty good, I'll have one, not seeing the 100 ml gotcha.

No mate, people in India and in EU are used to looking at the nutritional information per 100g/l as that lets you easily compare nutritional value between foodstuffs packaged in different weights, and figure out what's healthy/unhealthy, for example I saw Coca-Cola and most soft drinks are about 10g/100ml sugar, meaning that 10% of the product is sugar, so that's my yardstick of unhealthiness, or that most chips/crisps have around 30g/100g fats, aka 30% fats, so I seek out variants that have much less.

Having only the nutritional value listed per random serving size or the entire product like in the US is confusing because I can't easily compare sugar/fat percentage content of different products of different weights.
YYYY-MM-DD is really good and I use it everywhere.
> I reckon I'd be under constant stress in case I accidentally said something out of place unlike in all-male work environments I've worked in the past where banter and certain types of comment pass without thought.

Using banter for high-stress situations is quite a British thing. There's a story I was told about British troops during WWII in wet rat ridden trenches, cold and low on rations, having banter to keep morale high - much to the Americans surprise.

I can't liken my situation to theirs (thank goodness), but in a tough spot I was in male only company and we openly discussed who we would eat first, who we would keep around for company, etc.

> Times have changed, there's absolutely no way I would accept working in that situation today as it'd be just too risky. Similarly, I wouldn't expect my employer to allow me to work for eight hours per day under such risky conditions.

Unfortunately this rings true.

> Sure, women have rights to equality and I'd never deny them that right, but it seems to me that mixed company on a submarine is an 'explosive' environment and it's inevitable there will be trouble. (A group of males locked up and isolated without sex for three months but still in the tempting presence of women isn't natural.)

Not just that, but if an allegation is made (which is much more likely in this situation) then it's almost impossible to deal with. You can't isolate people from one another, you can't do any real investigation - it just sucks.

It's okay saying "believe all women", but I know at least two women now that have used claims of sexual assault because they had cheated on partners and got caught. The accused had the claims dropped against them, but lost their jobs and lives as a result.
I would propose a regulation that if a food package somehow mentions there is not something (sugar, fat, artificial sweeteners etc) in the food, but the food contains some other element of the same list, the thing that is contained should be mentioned with at least as visible labeling than the one that is missing.
Perhaps for English, but for Romance languages such as Italian and Latin, the "gi" digram means that the hard g softens to a /dz/ sound, so I'm perfectly comfortable with applying that rule here, and I think it sounds nicer.
A spring isn't a rigid body.
> Where I work we became very sceptic about this trait in candidates, especially if someone is overdoing it. Then the suspicion rises whether they are overcomensating for another trait they believe about themselves.

I'm also skeptical about overly positive candidates, but if their other visible traits are average, then there's no need for me to be paranoid.

The odds that there's a problem with them that I cannot determine during the interview is exactly the same as the odds for any other candidate.

Being that the odds are the same, I may as well get the person who everyone wants to work with.
You can find those lists for any tech, including Brainfuck and Malboge.

Nutritional labelling is such a cesspit of lies. My pet hate is the 'portion' or 'serving' sizes which are blatantly wrong just so the companies can lie about how much sugar they are selling to you.

So you get 500 ml bottle with nutritional info shown for every 100 ml and 250ml because that's the 'serving size'. No-one has ever drunk 250ml (8 ounces) and then left the rest for later.
That's what I was thinking of. If you turn off all regulation you'll end with 20 story apartment buildings with zero parking space, zero greenery and accessible only by a tiny narrow road that's always clogged.
I 'discovered' big-endian dating for myself as early as using first computers and been using them consistently over the years. It just sorts so well.

This collection is impressive and seems, from what author says, like it's a byproduct of a process and not goal in itself. I think its good to keep 'em this way.
That makes it very easy to come up with new manipulation about the meaning of "good for you", I guess.
I guess it was just to simplify the original specification of the JVM (if two dimensional arrays are just arrays of arrays, you don't need special instructions for them). I can also imagine that the original JVM designers did not expect JIT compilers to one day become so good that the performance difference becomes relevant.
Thanks all, I hadn’t considered that but we do only use it for silly things and nothing work related but it’s worth a consideration.
Yes, but as a customer your 3-2-1 strategy should include a backup off that cloud. Not the first time, and won't be the last time a cloud provider has a catastrophic data loss incident. Relying solely on your cloud provider for backups is a risk.
This choice probably pre-dates Oracle?
At the end of the day, what nvidia does is just producing IP. All manufacture is by other companies.

This means that nvidia capital is spend on testing/development infrastructure and creative labor.

So, you don’t need monopoly breaking to handle nvidia if it keeps growing, but instead rethink IP laws.

Testing infrastructure is less capital investment than production manufacture. (See ASML and TSMC beeing booked), and humans can be persuaded to work elsewhere.

This means Nvidia cannot fall a sleep, even if they keep snowballing. In a few years a rival can always arrive, or current ones snag key people or have dev/test infra breakthrough, or IP law could change as its critics rise every year.

Sure, if Nvidia keeps its good game it will keep on growing and get even bigger share, but if it doesn’t, it will happen what happened with intel, intel got greedy on its position, and the company got fat.

As long as nvidia keeps its game, it’ll be good for customers even if they swallow more market share, as prices are always limited by the value business customers get from AI, and the investment needed for a competitor is not even close to infrastructure or resource extraction stuff like high end chip fabs, oil extraction, energy grids, telecom grids.

Again, Nvidia does not produce any physical goods, only designs.
I hadn't heard of Gary Bowser before now so I initially thought this was referring to Doug Bowser, the current CEO of Nintendo America.

These two are the only people with the surname Bowser I have ever come across, and they're both related to Nintendo in some way. It's a hilarious coincidence.

The advantage of doing it per 100 ml/g, means it's easy to compare foods for their nutritional values. The US way is completely opaque.
I believe if you look further and deeper you'll reach the conclusion the real issue is how awful copyright laws are and more importantly, how absurd is the current economic system. Glorified markov chains are not the culprit here.

So the current movement where artists "shame" random joes for using a cool technology has only one possible outcome which is to push said average joes into being politically active in defense of AI. No one seems to want to properly organize and file a class-action, just twitter bickering.
I don’t understand the complaints about this switch. Aren’t these companies doing this to protect themselves from the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google cloud services reselling their services and competing with them, not stop the rest of us from using their software?

While that makes sense, I still think it would be more effective than having big multinational companies manipulate their way out of a well intended law.
yeah, cause fixing the missing index on your DB that adds 3 seconds to an API call is better than optimising loops to save 2ms.

In the front-end we were making about 20 API calls to fetch data we probably don't need yet and the developer is like: the problem has to exist in the way we call them, time to optimise the loops!
No, spell it out because it’s complete nonsense as it is. The efficient market hypothesis has zero relationship to barriers of entry, network effects, or any of the other dozen concepts that maybe are actually at play here.
It's interesting you mention UK and urgency in the same sentence. In my experience, nothing in the UK happens quickly when it comes to permanent employees (I guess contractors are different). Everyone has 2-3 months of notice period, plus people usually take a month off between switching jobs to relax. So there's usually 3-4 months between when everyone agrees and when they eventually join.

The only time things happen quickly is when someone is jobless, or if they already handed in their notice, they were going to join company X and you manage to snipe them in that 3-4 month period before they've started at company X.
It does make sense to have the same "serving size" for a beverage across 0.33, 0.5 and 1.5L bottles though, regardless of whether no one actually shares the smaller ones. If anything, the "what's the sugar content of this whole package" should perhaps be declared separately.

All dutch laws start with "Wij Beatrix, bij de gratie Gods, Koningin der Nederlanden, Prinses van Oranje-Nassau, enz. enz. enz." (or equivalent for different kings/queens) which translates to "We Beatrix, by the grace of god, queen of the Netherlands, Princess of Oranje-Nassau, etc. etc. etc."

You know a title is too long if you have to resort to "etc." in official documents.

Passive Dynamic Walking is interesting. I remember being really impressed by a video of a pair of legs going down a slope without any mechanical force on the "walker" itself to move them, just gravity and friction, I guess. That was back in 2014, probably. It seems like people have kept working on the concept. I have no way to tell though whether the idea really has cough cough legs, or it will just remain an engineering curiosity that can never be put to real work.

I can't really tell from this paper. Robotics is not my expertise (I work on autonomous navigation and decision-making for robots, but I'm not allowed to go anywhere near the robots. Electronics fry when I'm in proximity).

If it helps at all, it's actually a lot less intimidating than it might look at the first glance. You just have to have all the build software and QEMU installed, and the scripts do the rest (and even launch the VM).
> the idea was that the native bees lose share of the resources to honeybees that are artificially supported

This is not true necessarily (it depends on the context)

Most solitary native bees will not compete with honeybees (or will compete only partially) because they favor different flowers. In general if you find bees of very different sizes they basically will not compete. Honeybees rarely will touch small Fabaceae and are not common on Apiaceae. Alfalfa fields are pollinated by tiny native bees.
I've seen one suggestion, regarding closing loopholes in general but it has it's own issues. The idea is that you define the intention of a law and violate the intention of the law then you're punished as well.

So in this case the intention is to make people eat healthy and Kellogg is violating that intention by replacing sugar with an ingredient that they know isn't covered, because they specifically lobbied for it not to be. Similarly Coca-Cola by designing their labels to only have the warning on one side and asking the supermarket to place the items so that the warning isn't visible.

There's no real way that these companies come out of this looking good. Either they label correctly and people can see that their product is a lot more unhealthy than they might have realized or they go to court to protect their "right" to knowingly damage the healthy of their customers for profit. I fail to understand how you can have so little moral integrity. Why not just embrace the new labels and design better products.

Also temporally separated. That is you must have backup that is beyond attackers time horizon. This is only way to get back at least something.
Depending on how serious you are about this (and how well you can slap together a few different python packages), it is very doable today.

Get one of the better llama versions fine-tuned on code (e.g. WizardCoder), take your entire code base and create embeddings from it, put those into a vector database.

Now, every time you ask your LLM a question about your code base, you first turn that prompt into an embedding and perform a search on your vector database. The results of that search are appended as context to the actual prompt before passing it to the LLM itself.

There's tons of packages that help with all of that, Langchain and Faiss are probably the most popular right now.

I do that all the time... I never buy sugary drinks, but sometimes they come for free in a takeout menu. I can keep it for guests, but even then it piles up in my cupboard, so I drink it in 2 or 3 sittings.

It's crazy that Coca-Cola is paying restaurants to only offer their poison (no still or sparkling water). These companies are literally making us sick.
Modern JS frameworks pre-render the components on the server then they attach to them to "rehydrate" and add JS handlers on the client. They also allow mixing of purely-server-side components (essentially templates, no JS or hydration) and mostly-client-side components (that still pre-render on the server)

For Rust, Leptos (https://leptos.dev/) would be one choice that can do SSR+hydration (but not intermixed with server-side components, at least AFAIK not yet)

And I just pay the 20$ fee (or 200$ by then) to OpenAI and watch my movie.
Then I can ask to tweak some parts of the story and update the movie in real time. And this for any movie.
Given the budget of 220 millions for the one movie I quoted, OpenAI will never give back anything money to them. Or to any movie producer.

Does that seems ok to you ? Today it’s the books and pictures but later it’s going to be anything.

I mean to produce anything it requires time, effort, money. They steal the end result, and produce any variation possible and make money out of it.

Your point would only be valid if OpenAI would be 100% free. It’s not

It's also just true that the OS is not useful to anyone who cannot compile it themselves. ISO builds would be just a waste of time at this point, especially that the supported way to run this thing is only via QEMU (which the build script does).
Why would the elements HAVE to be loaded for different roles? You're talking as if every single client-side app approaches authorization and authentication the same way and that's just not true.

There's no attack surface here at all, the only issue with most client-side apps and interaction with server comes from CORS and devs copypasting solutions from SO to get rid of the warning, thus creating the attack surface.

The choices related to displaying appropriate elements based on current user's role that's tied to entire logic of the app has literally zero to do with security.

It is an analogy that is used to describe spacetime curvature though… its the wrong analogy.
I have never seen an adult being exposed just one hour per day to a foreign language over three month, and then suddenly producing grammatically correct meaningful sentences. And note that we are talking here about passive exposition. No teacher, no corrections, no feedback, no interactions, no carefully crafted pedagogical input, not even slowed down audio.

If you know such an adult, please tell them to write a blog about it. I am curious. I have met many adults in multilanguage environments and even some who, as a kind of scientific experiment, specifically tried that approach, without much success though (after some weeks, they could recognize some words and fixed expressions).

I don't say that an adult cannot learn a foreign language by immersion. Actually, there are probably hundreds of millions of such people in the world (take any uneducated worker who is forced to work in a foreign country to help his family survive at home). But the conditions are very different (they get feedback and interactions) and the quality of the result, too. The speed and quality with which kids just absorb a new language like sponges is unmatched.

2009--2019 if my understanding is correct. Note that this period does overlap with major sanctions against Iran, and since the IAEA itself later acknowledged the breach of agreements in this period, it's fair to say that the IAEA monitoring was not as effective compared to Western intelligences.

> There's a big difference between easy monitoring of peacetime allied country nuclear reactors and monitoring the enrichment program of a country actively attempting to develp weapons grade material in the absence of any binding agreements.

This doesn't matter, because it does show that countries can hide (or more accurately, delay the detection of) evidences if they are really willing to do so. And the absence of any binding agreements actually gives Japan more incentive to do that.

> If each component of Graphics Interchange Format is pronounced properly

That's simply not how acronyms work. Acronyms that form a pronounceable word typically coalesce into an agreed pronounciation that does not need to have anything in common with its components.

Take for example:

ANSI: neither "A" nor "I" is pronounced as their components.

CHAP: not sure how you'd murder this to fit a second "H" and the "A" isn't the same, either.

CIDR: "C" and "I" differ. I'd laugh at you if you tried to say "kidder"!

LAN: different "A"

This is already concisely explained in the article

The Mesopotamians’ unique counting method is thought to come from a mix of a duodecimal system that used the twelve finger joints of one hand and a quinary system that used the five fingers of the other. By pointing at one of the left hand’s twelve joints with one of the right hand’s five digits, or, perhaps, by counting to twelve with the thumb of one hand and recording multiples of twelve with the digits of the other, it is possible to represent any number from 1 to 60.

How is the long winded Wikipedia article a better explanation?
"much better" is an understatement!
