> But there are good cultural reasons why nerds avoid physical activity. North American cultural tropes, especially from high school on up, make out physical activity to be a kind of war. It is supposed to require extreme discipline and a punitive degree of focus. It's supposed to separate winners from losers. Those who are lesser (too weak, too fat, too short, too... whatever) are just embarrassing and should not try to do physical things in public view, unless they are trying to atone for their weaknesses with self-flagellation.

As someone who grew up as a nerd and only later discovered the joys of sports and fitness:

This idea that physical fitness is "war" and excruciating painful and only for jocks is largely self-inflicted by nerds upon themselves. It comes from movies and TV and internet tropes more than the real world.

Once you step out of the nerd bubble and try some physical fitness or casual sports you realize it's nothing like the movies. It's also nothing like the fitness influencers who post about their daily Crossfit grind or other social media displays. In fact, your local amateur soccer club or climbing gym is probably full of nerds and even people you might think are "out of shape", but who still have a great time. I run into a lot of engineers at these activities.

I think the concept that sports are pain and only for the elite few and/or dumb jocks is a comforting myth for those who want to believe they're making the right choice by not exercising, but it's not true.
Over the course of several years, the architecture underpinning Snap has been used in production for multiple networking applications, including network virtualization for cloud VMs [19], packet-processing for Internet peering [62], scalable load balancing [22], and Pony Express, a reliable transport and communications stack that is our focus for the remainder of this paper.

This paper suggests, as I would have expected, that Google uses userland networking in strategic spots where low-level network development is important (SDNs and routing), and not for normal applications.
The articles update every hour, so please check back again. The articles are from blogs that were deemed high quality, but even high quality blogs can churn out filler content. But in general, I think you'll always find one or two really interesting things to read at any given time, if not on the homepage, then on the blogs you follow.
I tend to think it's specifically tied to physical activity. My explanation is that we're conditioned, as a species, to survive by performing physical tasks during the day, to a degree where the brain expects it. If we sit still in front of a computer all day, and do nothing else, it creates a disconnect between what our body and brain is built to expect, and what we actually get.
I found bouldering/sport climbing to be able to tickle my it needs to be useful sense.
It gives me focus on a task: get up this problem. YMMV of course :)
Do you know for a fact that Google primarily uses userland networking, or does that just seem accurate to you?
It would still be interesting as a train bridge, just for different reasons. The reason bridge you know that lives and material are on the line. For the child's train set you realize that there are deep and abstract principles underlying even childish things.
If only there were a difference between the physical world and a digitalworld..

(and of course I use recycle bin, it'd be dumb not to)
I assume the efficiency requirements are why my car doesn't provide a way to permanently turn off the auto idle start/stop. The button's to temporarily disable it is convenient enough to make it something of a reflex. But it's a feature I really don't like when I'm making an unprotected left hand turn for example.

> 80% reduction means it prevented fewer than half of the vulnerable from death

What are you trying to say here? That math doesn't make sense to me at all. Pretty clearly the reduction in deaths comes primarily from... those who would have been vulnerable to dying.
From every benchmark I've seen so far, Linux has always been faster than the BSDs.

For example, look at these benchmarks from 2003[1]. Makes you wonder where the myth comes from.

The newest benchmark I could find[2] points in the same direction.

Does anyone have more recent data?

> The CYC project continued for decades with a massive team of people encoding rules according to it's own complex ontology, but ultimately never met it's goals

It's still going! I agree it's become clear that it probably isn't the road to AGI, but it still employs people who are still encoding rules and making the inference engine faster, paying the bills mostly by doing contracts from companies that want someone to make sense of their data warehouses
Yup, I implemented a bunch of graphs and alerts. Right now it's at 100GB of usage so it's still growing but at a fairly predictable rate. Another nice thing to know is if it's possible to reduce that usage. I haven't been able to look into that but I know one of the causes of the usage increase. The service uses the DB to store some indexing data. There's a team forcing it to re-index and I can tell when they deploy because the storage spikes a little bit every time they do a deployment. Nothing I can do about that, sadly.
Similar thoughts here. I'm looking for AI-related reading, so I was really interested when I saw you have an #AI tag -- but when I clicked it, I got a registration wall, so I bounced.

I'd be happy to register if I used the service regularly, and to pay if it was really good, but asking me to register before I can even see if you have what I want -- a reliably good drip of AI news -- is a total turnoff.
My suggestion:

Go to kaggle.com. Sign-up / Sign-in as necessary. Click the "code" tab in the left hand navigation bar. On the ensuing page, select the "beginner" filter, and then change the sort to "by most votes".

The top few results there will probably be good for your friend.

This Titanic one looks pretty good, but note that it uses R, which might be off-putting to some people.

But browse around, there are several that look pretty comprehensive and well documented at a first glance.

Also, if your friend wants a book to go along with their learning, look at "Hands On Machine Learning" by Geron. It's a great book anyway, AND the Github repo includes a whole series of Jupyter notebooks to go along with the book, including a handy "Open in Colab" link that will launch the notebooks directly in Colab.

Having lived in a few countries globally, I’ve had the chance to observe the decline in food in multiple regions. Some local industries decline at different rates likely due to locals not tolerating it. Bread and milk are good indicators in my opinion. Whole milk fat content is lower in US vs Europe, and in the middle east, milk fat is replaced with coconut fat or others non bovine sources.

"Anything worth doing is worth doing POORLY." aka, ANYTHING is better than nothing.

I feel like that's the biggest barrier for a lot of people. One push-up is far better than zero. Walking outside to your mailbox and back is better than none at all.

Signing up for a gym and going once every two weeks, for about 15 min, is WAY better than not at all. Etc.

I promise, really believing this makes things a LOT better.
Show HN: Pantry – Brew/Docker for LLMs
Started this a few months ago because I wanted a better test runner for an entirely different LLM-based project, then got completely nerdsniped by making LLMs as easy as possible to hotswap into other projects.

It's still on the early side but it's finally at the point where I would happily use it for my original project, so I figured I'd post it. It's also—almost by accident—fully remote compatible (permissioning system included!), so you can host it on a box and then connect a program to it remotely.

What is a "toxin" to you?
>the West dominates

You mean the US dominates. I don't see any EU, Canadian or Australian designed smart-phones, Office365, Google, Chat-GPT, AWS, I can buy reaching critical mass.

Edit: INB4 the chip hipsters who found out about ASML during the pandemic chip shortage, chime in with "but muh ASML is European!". Yes, it is European(Dutch), it's also based on EUV tech licensed from the US, and has EUV light sources at it's core secret sauce, made by Cymer, a US company, but I was talking about software products and services which are the big money makers.

EU, Canada, and the rest of the west are lacking in world dominating SW companies and rely exclusively on the US, which the US can always use as leverage.

Ironically, China's detachment form the US SW companies and the need to develop it's own giants, will give it a major advantage long term, versus US's allies which will keep relying on it.
Thing is, those cars with touch screen climate controls will let you set a temperature target much like your home thermostat. Once you figure out the right temperature, you don't really ever have to change it. I haven't changed the temperature in my car for months. I'll probably adjust it as summer turns to fall but it will be a one or two degree change one time and then I won't touch it again unless my kid drove the car and messed with it.

Putting things like windshield wipers or headlights on a touch screen would be a nightmare though.
I can't honestly answer that with the NDA I signed.

Not a surprise given Apple relocating their manufacturing to southeast Asia and out of China.
> I recently discussed with an intelligent and well-disposed man the threat of another war, which in my opinion would seriously endanger the existence of mankind, and I remarked that only a supra-national organization would offer protection from that danger.

I believe that this is fundamentally the same opinion that Oppenheimer held, that resulted in the establishment seeing him as an enemy and a threat. I would like to resurrect these two gentlemen, bring them up to date on the history of the United Nations, and ask them if their opinions have altered.

So, why no focus on the Port of Montreal? Seems to me like why the cars are disappearing from Canada is because that port is a very easy point of exit for the stolen goods. There's probably a big organized crime syndicate bribing/controlling the authorities there.

Edit: then again, it's the major port of Eastern Canada, so, I suppose, where else would it go through?
Maybe you don't decide at the start of your day, rather it comes up later that the kids want something baked for dinner that is already prepared and just needs to go into the oven, and you also get home from work at like 7pm. Idk how niche that is, but if that's someone's situation, the remote control makes sense.
It's funny, you (the user, and everyone else that commented about registering) say it's not worth your time registering, but if you look at it from my perspective, it's not worth putting in all this effort for someone who isn't willing to even register for free, let alone pay for the service that cost months to build.
ah, after re-reading, i can see that as well
Yes, the one link shared says essentially the opposite thing.
I don't like how much it alters the real history, but if the movie was fun for anyone, get some good books about the same events and you are in for even more fun! It wasn't just "Break the code, done" in real life, there was back and forth math and engineering battles, it was great stuff.

I didn't at the start.

I had to use a personal trainer to get to that point though, due to how much I hated it initially.
> For example, if you are exhibiting anhedonia and psychomotor retardation then the SSRIs probably aren't going to work for you.

Way too many depressed people avoid SSRIs due to generalizations like this. SSRIs don't work for some with those symptoms, but they're a life saver for others.

SSRIs can also be helpful for pulling people out of a deep depression and getting them to a place where they can rebuild healthy habits, then taper off the SSRIs.

Please don't discourage people from trialing SSRIs if they're in serious depression. There are also modern antidepressants that act not only on the serotonin transporter but directly on certain serotonin receptors to create more favorable side effect profiles.

I've known too many depressed people who spent years avoiding SSRIs due to things they read on the internet, then finally gave in and tried them and discovered that it was the spark needed to get their lives back on track. Do not waste years and years of your life on depression for fear of experiencing negative side effects you read about on the internet. Work with a doctor and be open to trialing proven treatments for a reasonable period of time (6+ months).
So if you bike instead of working a full time job you can lose a pound a day! Most of which would be water weight initially. That doesn't seem very effective or realistic for long term weight loss. The intake is almost universally the problem.
I had a close in-law that had a total braking failure with their ~2017 Mazda Cx-9, which was one thing, but then the dealer was pretty horrible about acknowledging or even diagnosing it. In the end, they sold it off early instead of continuing to own it with the unknowns on the brakes. So it's an anecdote, but one that makes me look pretty seriously against Mazda - though maybe it was more the dealer than the company.
You're definitely right that the jock/nerd thing is more of a media trope than real. On the other hand, I just attended my nephews' football game. When I went to the bathroom at halftime, I happened to overhear the losing team's coach speaking to his players - the bathroom adjoined the locker room. Speaking? I mean screaming. I was disgusted by the level of toxic masculinity.

I shared this with some of my colleagues later and some of them said they had quit team sports to get away from this sort of culture.
Except for the problems self-hosters have with Gmail and Outlook silently rejecting their emails. They are not fully interoperable.
> In the end it's still a competition, if a patient is unhappy with the care they can switch providers.

So providers have an incentive to encourage adverse selection and keep the “difficult patients” away from their practices.
Whoa! Thänx for that ptr.
This just seems like a logical reaction to unknown supply chain attacks. The DoD has restrictions on acquisition of Chinese hardware, for example.

Some HN posters believe that this is a tit-for-tat move regarding the Huawei sales ban, which is hardly comparable, as Huawei hardware cannot be legally distributed or sold by US companies.
i concur with this assessment. I did the wonderful course, "Programming Languages, Part A" by The University of Washington. Part "A" of the course teaches Functional Programming and uses Standard ML as a vehicle to teach it's semantics.

I completely fell in love with the language, but I concur that the tooling is almost non-existent and the error messages that bubble up, leaves much to be desired.

Ask HN: Does Instagram suspend accounts just to get their phone numbers?
I registered for an Instagram account today. Immediately after I signed in for the first time, I was suspended due to violating the Community Guidelines. I appealed, which they require a phone number to do so. After verifying my phone number, I was immediately redirected to an unsuspended page. "We reviewed your account and found that it does follow our Community Guidelines." It happened too fast for a human to have been involved. I've heard of this happening recently to other people as well[1].

Is this a required flow in order to siphon phone numbers from new accounts without making it "required" on the sign up page?

Easier said than done. Where is that located? Is there a service manual that explains where that part is?
You need permission because

1) the probing almost always involves breaking the terms of the contract you made with that company.

2) it creates a paper trail of intent

3) it's not your property so why wouldn't you need permission to access it?

I am not sure how permission effects a companies ability or obligation to fix security bugs. I agree they should fix it.

We can make the law that not only does the company approve of the request but they have to disclose to you additional information that can help you find bugs. Idk, point is I'm advocating for creating a system where researchers work with the company rather than as vigilantes

1st gen Honda insight is "1999–2006" (1) so this anecdote is dated. Manuals were more efficient, but currently no, they are not so any more.

Also -- WALKING.

Walking is huge. This is definitely in response to "my brain hates it, etc" type stuff.

My gut is that this is pretty much never true for "walking." We were "designed" to do it, lots of it. Not walking is not even our "default" state I imagine.

Money is a measure now.

For most of human history, money was itself physical wealth, or constrained in proportion to physical wealth. Which in turn constrained the maximum value of any good or service it could buy.

Now goods and services can grow as valuable as we ever want them to be. They can even be imaginary. That's how a few thousand smart people at Apple who produce nothing physical can be considered nearly 6x the value of ExxonMobil and the tremendous amounts of land and resources it controls.

Every car I've driven that was made in the past decade has volume control as two buttons on the steering wheel.

> Also, interesting how they didn't think to design their own entertainment system because... cars had third party entertainment systems that's just the way it was!

This was rarely true in 1999, at least in the US.

They often had ones that were standard DIN or double-DIN size, but they were usually manufacturer-branded and styled with buttons that matched the rest of the car.

But if you google image search a 1999 Ford Taurus interior you'll see that not everyone was even then still sticking to the easily-swappable standard. Compare to 1999 Camry, which had standard size but came out of the factory with a Toyota-skinned radio of one sort or another depending on options.
