I am a bit torn about these new labels. I'm from Argentina and they were implemented over there some time ago.

On the one hand, I think it's great to warn "ignorant" people about the content of their foods. And by Ignorant I don't mean poor uneducated people. You'd be surprised how many college-educated, well-off people in Argentina think that a cereal bar is a "healthy food". Or that corn flakes is a healthy food. So, suddenly, these black scary labels started appearing everywhere and people were like "Oh wow, does this have a lot of sugar in it? I thought it was healthy".

So that's a good thing.

But on the other hand, they'r extremely simplistic. A label that says "excess fat" can actually be a good thing. If it's some raw, healthy fat (say, Oil, butter, etc), that's a great type of food. But it'll share the same "excess fat" label with a crappy hydrogenated-fat based food.

Take for example whole milk, which it is now known that is the ONLY healthy type of milk. It'll have a "excess fat" label. While Skim milk will contain non such labels.

Anyway, I think the balance is favorable for those labels. At least "protect" the uneducated people. If anybody wants to learn more about food, they'll put the time and learn to ignore those labels and just focus on the raw macronutrients.

EDIT: I know the "whole milk is better than Skim milk" might STILL be a hot take (not for long I hope...). Here's my answer to another comment:

> The gist is: fat is not bad; at all. Most of Vitamins contained in Milk are fat-soluble. That means that all the good properties of milk are transported by fat. Also, whole milk is less processed.

> Here's a very "intuitive" reasoning, as an exercise: if Vitamin D is fat soluble... how is it possible that Skim milk has MORE Vitamin D (or A) than whole milk? (answer: because it's artificially added).

While I never owned a VanMoof, I read they painted pictures of flat screen TVs on the shipping boxes after months of issues with bikes being damaged by the time they got to customers. Clever!
I don't think there's many. A bunch of the very large sendmail installs that I know about went to qmail pretty much straight away and the ones that remained were mostly people where were concerned about the fact that djb hadn't been at all clear about the terms of the qmail license. When exim was released they pretty much all migrated. It wasn't that long after that when linux distros started shipping with postfix so you're talking an extreme minority of boxes (machines which haven't been upgraded for 20 years, probably don't run linux, probably don't run any very high-traffic mail installation).

The thing is the stuff that used to be total black magic on sendmail (address rewriting, setting routes up etc) is all pretty straightforward on any of those other mail systems, so I'm struggling to see why you would keep a sendmail install around. If someone called me in to help them with their sendmail, pretty much step 0 would be to uninstall sendmail, install a reasonable MTA and go from there.
And when the bad thing happens it's of course the IT team painted as "those guys who kept on bitching also earlier about their jobs"
Restic on object storage outside your infra. It's what I do and I think it should be safe from ransomware.

Kellogg's fruit loopholes!
If you keep the interface the exact same, you run into some pretty big complications, as with the current interface you can change one row out with another object with a single statement, or similarly get a row object as such (which you do implicitly in "arr[a][b]"!). So you'd have to still store an object per row in addition to the data to keep their identity the same each time they're gotten, and have some way to transform out of this representation if the last reference to the 2D array is via a single row of it, GCing away the rest of the rows.
"Per serving" is often shown on EU labels, although in addition to the per-100g figures. There are rules about when and how:

> I live in Sweden and we're very far down the path of "cash is dead" - there's a considerable number of stores and fast food joints that do not even accept cash. However, when I moved to this country I couldn't open a bank account and without people accepting cash at that time I would have paid exorbitant fees on each transaction.

I came here to say something similar. We moved to the Netherlands in 2014 from the US and it was three or four months before our immigration stuff was far enough along that we could open a local bank account with an IBAN and get a chip and pin card (at the time, virtually no US banks would give you chip and pin cards). My partner couldn't even get paid during that time until she had a bank account. We lived off withdrawing cash from my US account at ATMs. That included paying our rent (we were lucky that our landlord, who lived in a different city, was OK with us just paying cash to their relative who lived nearby).

Seems to use the VOSK voice recognition model under the hood for most languages, but doesn't really say that upfront or how it fairs against state of the art. Vosk has significantly higher word error rate over whisper models in english but since it's an editor of sorts it probably doesn't matter that much. They are working on adding whisper as an option.

Isn’t tobacco use trending down anyways? How could you possibly tease out the drop in tobacco use from one change to packaging?

This reminds me of the analysis I’ve seen for marketing campaigns.
At a certain scale, full backups aren't feasible, and people should be implementing their own backups on top of any cloud services.

Backups of the dataplane should of course exist.
> Mexico’s big black hexagons warning across excess fat/sugar/calories are kind of ridiculous. I don’t think they are serving to dissuade consumers, and even foreigners stop noticing the labels after just a couple of weeks in the country.

How ridiculous is it if big corporations take them seriously? In fact, if we look at how tobacco laws worked, this kind of messaging works extremely well in shifting perception of people about it in the long run. Sure, people may still drink it, but maybe they won't give some to their kids, or introduce them to it later, or they won't make jokes about people not joining them in that habit at social gatherings, etc.

Big endian dates always make me laugh.

They are okay, but exist mostly because American insist on using a terrible MM-DD-YYYY format usually and while DD-MM-YYYY makes more sense it'd be confusing while Americans continue to use MM-DD.

Similarly, imperial units are terrible 12 inches to foot, 3 feet to yard. Fractions of inches for small lengths...

The generic idea is cooling "pulse points", i.e. places in your body where the blood flow is nearest to the skin.

Surely the femoral artery is one carrying a lot of blood, so cooling it is more "efficient" than whole body or other pulse points (you need less water).
Occasionally I want to compare the performance of different snippets or NPM packages, but I'm too lazy to setup a test locally and found some of the existing benchmark sites a bit clunky, especially when trying to evaluate packages/libraries.

This is my attempt of making this easier. Let me know what you think.

The benchmark data/setup/code is stored in the URL, so you can easily share or save them. You can also share the results as a nice image.
If we are going to reform food labels, how about requiring that they include a last update timestamp?

When I’m considering buying a food item for the first time I read the entire label to make sure it meets my criteria. It would be nice when buying it again to be able to at a glance tell that it is still the same as when I last bought it.
A big achivement, congrats from a Pakistani.

PS: Will they share the data with opensource community for analysis?
- it looks nice and is a popular style right

- there might be distance requirements between the building and the lot boundary which would prevent a roof from sticking out
> While it was not possible to complete a full Cost Benefit Analysis for this PIR (due to the limitations on the data available at this time and provided by industry), potential monetised benefits were also analysed including an illustrative example of health benefits. That example estimated that a 0.07 percentage point drop in smoking prevalence would be equivalent to $273 million in monetised health benefits

I wonder whether they take into account the long-term cost of people - who quit or don't smoke because of this legislation - becoming more of a burden on the social systems because of extended life? Things like this always remind me of the 'Smoke Screen' episode from Yes, Prime Minister [1]

Saying "you need to eat less calories than you expend in order to lose weight" is like saying "to win in chess just mate your opponent's king". It's just saying the same thing in different words. The fact of the matter is that people that don't do those virtuous activities have a very difficult time maintaining a healthy weight and people that do do those virtuous activities have a much easier time.
This, in itself is another issue, and should not be the case.

Banks fail, and no one should be forced to need one.
Yes, it's absolutely a case of vendor lock-in. While the bankruptcy won't brick your bike, any vendor-specific part (and that seems to be most of the bike) breaking will leave you with a broken bike and no way to fix it.

I'm pretty sure the business plan here was to generate "recurring revenue" by "vertical integration" in the "long tail" or some collection of buzzwords like that but it boils down to making customers depend on you after the sale and forcing them to come back to you for anything they need.

This reminds me of how software is becoming increasingly subscription based and triple-A games have moved to "live services" and "season passes" as a business model. I guess at least Van Moof actually sold you the bike and didn't make you rent it.
Oh, it's that stupid demonizing thing with the black octagones? We have it for a year or two in Argentina, they don't make sense at all. Why would you ever normalize against calories? You would never get all your calories from only one food, so you wouldn't get the "excess" in fats, carbs or whatever. I believe that european nutriscore does better by normalizing against serving.

Here's a twitter thread explaining it better (in spanish): https://nitter.net/22xTJuan/status/1635239549902389248#m
Proper time always runs at 1 second per second. It’s only when you compare it to someone else's proper time that you can get a difference.
I don't buy your analogy as being at all equivalent. You literally had two choices, chose the hard option and then complained that it was hard.

I totally understand making a tradeoff if you think that it preserves privacy (which I don't agree with as I explained above) but I don't think it's reasonable to do that and then complain about it.
for me the biggest disadvantage of e-scooters is the lack of exercise.

I just recently remembered how much time we spent on optimizing for different devices. We had a Mac and iPhone and like 8 android phones just do we could check the website on different devices.

If people even are still doing this they likely just use browserstack or something like this.
If they are not incremental but append only, an air gap is not strictly needed and can be used as an additional safeguard performed less frequently because of manual overhead. The crux of the matter is to assume the main system has been compromised and preventing overwriting existing data.
State of AI in Russia, 2023
In 2023, Russia's relationship with AI has been multifaceted and complex. While the country has been somewhat isolated due to its exclusion from international platforms like ChatGPT, this isolation has not halted local developers.

- Challenges
The advancement of AI in Russia faces significant obstacles including brain drain, hardware limitations, and censorship constraints. It's the extremely adaptable Russian entrepreneurs who are keeping the economy from fully spiraling out of control. AI is also used as a tool to counterbalance the lack of human resources.

- Government and Surveillance
The Russian government has shown interest in AI for many years now. In 2017, President Vladimir Putin stated that whoever becomes a leader in AI will rule the world. Two years later, Putin signed a national strategy for the development of artificial intelligence. In 2021 alone, the government allocated 1.4 billion rubles for grants to AI developers.

Is there something else going on here? The screen above would have no square icons or ui elements with rectangular pixels. Did everyone just adjust their CRT so the image would fill the 4:3 even if it distorted the image?
At this standard, many small online businesses would not be possible.

I think that would be a loss.

As far as I know, all those distributions use OpenJDK for that kind of stuff and don't really do much more than apply a few patches here and there, not change stuff like how the JVM packs bytes in memory.

Even if this was true (and it isn't: the UK has loads of male only accommodation from homeless shelters to its most prestigious boarding schools and the Grauniad will happily gush about men's groups[1] too), it has nothing to do with the intellectual dishonesty of linking the homelessness problem to gender segregation in an expensive retirement community in New Barnet.

Owain added new scientific terms to the Welsh dictionary.

These include:

“damcaniaeth dwysedd ffwythianolion” meaning “density functional theory”
“brasamcan graddiant cyffredinol” which means a “general gradient approximation”
“dull gwahaniaeth feidriadd” which translates as “finite difference method”

Which sort of disproves the hypothesis that 'Welsh Is a Language for Science'.
Because this makes life difficult for developers, for no good reason. Developers simply shouldn't have the access necessary to make these attacks succeed.

Being from EU, and just checked a few products, they all have 2 lists. One for serving size/per product and one for 100g. What don't you get?
> Meanwhile SIM card slot do not introduce water leak because obviously there is magic.

Don't worry, they're doing their best to get rid of those too.
> ...it on average only gets built where public transportation is viable, and once built it ensures ongoing continued demand for that transportation which keeps public transport more viable around that location.

A kind of corollary of this is that people living in places where where public transport doesn't exist build a lifestyle around private vehicles (obviously). This then leads to people becoming incredulous that life without a car is possible.

Without a car how do you take your two kids to Saturday morning sports in separate far-flung suburbs? How do you cart home a weeks worth of groceries? Get to your workplace 30km away? Stop in on your fiends who live in the countryside for afternoon tea on the weekend? etc...

The answer is mostly you don't. And believe it or not, that's okay. You don't establish that sort of lifestyle to start with. You live a different lifestyle with its own compromises and benefits. Closer family, friends, and acquaintances. Nearby amenities, serendipitous meetings, smaller (or common) gardens, a closer workplace, frequent public transport, nature walks you can actually walk to from your house. And - ironically - time. So much time! People really underestimate what is possible and attainable if you don't start with the assumption that you will own a car.

The fact that 20,000km is a typical distance traveled in a year by a driver is astounding to me. That's over 50km per day. That has to be an indication of a very inefficient society. Try explaining what it's all for to a time traveler from 100 years ago.

The suburban house really is the siren song of modern civilization.

> when it comes to jobs, always look for a job while employed

I have never done this. Sure, I might have missed out on summer cash, but I enjoyed the breaks between the jobs immensely.
It sure is getting worse. But dying is a bit far fetched. Sure the giants don't get the attention anymore they did before but the whole internet turned into targeted ads meanwhile.

My income is mostly from selling targeted traffic to specific niches. If anything it has just grown massively in the last year's. But the time where I could earn my whole income with AdSense is definitely over.
- It costs jobs from fields that didn't need jobs taken away.

- It costs more jobs than it creates.

- It's the new meme tech, ala SAAS, Cloud, etc. that I have to tolerate now. I love seeing a "Chat with bing!" button, that's great.

- It's flush with cash due to the US having tonnes of play money to throw around, enabling irresponsible behavior such as pricing below cost. Vast sums of money are burned on this boondoggle around the world annually to achieve middling results. The new Bing AI assistant does not impress for example.

- It's an unsolved ethical problem. Sampling in music requires attribution, comparatively.

- It drastically exacerbates the accountability problem in an increasingly automated world with issues around accountability already. Look at all the threads here about people getting screwed by Google with no recourse?

- It lowers the barrier to entry for bad actors to gain legitimacy. Good actors never needed great art or anything else AI can do if they made things with care and skills they had.

- The world didn't need more content. It is awash with content already. A lot of the content we have now is not good and AI isn't going to make it magically better.

- AI as implemented specifically targets jobs that didn't represent real blocking problems for humanity. It doesn't purify water, eliminate filthy, backbreaking or intense and repetitive near-slave labor or anything else at this point, it came out of the desire of Elon and friends to take Shutterstock's annual profits. This is an ignoble goal. The task of automating the worst labor safely and reliably remains extremely challenging even when AI is involved.

A better question is what problems does AI really solve? Are those benefits worth the massive cost?

When I see something and I know that it was created with child labor, it induces the same disgust that AI products do. Perhaps I can do great and good things with some tool or product made with child labor, but that doesn't change the ethical abomination at the core of that product.

If AI isn't paired with UBI, then we are simply on a collision course for the elimination of tens of thousands of, admittedly awful, jobs. What are all those people going to do? Truck drivers, petty artists, call center workers, etc. We don't have Star Trek style replicators yet, and we have not uniformly evolved as a people to believe in a robust set of rights for our fellow man.

I understand why capitalism has forced this situation to happen, but it is incumbent on governments to aggressively protect their citizens and workers from the AI menace.
