What is preventing most people from losing weight? Eating less calories than what is expended during the day will result in weight loss (caloric deficit). Walking around the house, breathing, and sleeping consumes 1500-2000 calories/day. Eat less than that. No medication required.

Caloric deficit is the only way to lose weight. If you hear someone say, “No! You need to exercise and reduce calories!” That’s just burning the candle from both ends - increasing caloric requirements and decreasing caloric intake (e.g. caloric deficit). There are good reasons to do exercise, but it’s not strictly required for weight loss.

(Consult a medical professional before beginning any weight loss routine, etc., etc.)

Bragging a little: I successfully convinced most of the people at my org to avoid pre-formatting the logging messages. On the other hand I'm "the weird one" because I'm the one who complain about it in the code reviews and I'm not sure everyone else follows my reasoning. But at least the code looks (subjectively) a bit better now!

I upgraded from a my little Brother home b&w printer with scanner to an HP laser as well. I was starting to do more than my home printer and it's very low <$100 price tag should ever be expected to do. I went with a printer suggested by the vendor of a very specific medium I was going to be using in a hobby++ product labeling. It was 4x more expensive, but it works. It's connected to an air gapped computer, so I'm unawares if it suffers from the infamous user-hostile stuff. I works for what I need, and the state of the printing world means I'm happy with it

Could they expand this to the other garbage software suites hardware companies get to auto-install? I plugged a Logitech mouse into my work laptop, and Windows helpfully installed a Logitech control utility. Lacking admin, I cannot disable this little utility, and so it is just there, sucking away CPU+RAM.

Hopefully not a potential infection vector, but the hardware industry just has an impeccable history of writing iron-clad drivers, so I am sure it is fine.

Scientology's not in the top five total, but on a per-capita basis it may be winning for number of people enslaved, although it's very difficult to get solid numbers. There are under 50,000 scientologists, and their "Sea Org" members who signed "billion year contracts" may have had as many as 5,000 people, so that's perhaps one slave for every 10 scientologists. But, again, reliable numbers are hard, so that estimate could easily be off by an order of magnitude.

I'd also recommend learning M2 over OP for edges. I used Noah's guide back when. M2 is so much faster, that unless you are going all the way to 3 style (which is a large jump) M2/OP is pretty optimal. If you've got more questions I'll try to scan every so often.
So on point 3 then, why do countries, turn people away at the destination and not before take off, if their visa or passport is not in order?

Are their systems not joined up, or does the state just like making examples of peoples once on the destination country? I can watch this stuff happening to people at airport border controls on TV all the time so which is it? Their systems are not joined up or they just like making examples of people?
Tracking your blood pressure randomly throughout the day will not be meaningful in any way, just like tracking your pulse isn't meaningful. It will only be annoying, as blood pressure measurement is a mechanical process, unlike heart rate measurements which can be done optically or electrically.

>right after you've driven to the appointment, made your way through the intake pipeline, and finally sat down in the chair, is not representative of its reading during a typical day in your life.

So? It is taught pretty early in med school that before measuring the vitals, you should let the patient rest while you take their story, and ask questions related to things that might change the measurements (did you walk here? did you walk up the stairs? did you drink coffee? did you smoke etc.). And if you still want more measurements throughout the day for various reasons, you can just use holter.

>all combine to make blood pressure a fairly variable statistic with limited diagnostic power when it's only measured infrequently.

[citation needed]

If you are hypertensive, non of the things you've mentioned will matter. Your blood pressure will be high regardless, and it will still be caught. In addition, you can't just diagnose with a single reading anyways.

I'd like to see this conversation have evolved towards more specific & more technical.

Yes, a lot of hams are just crufty & computer averse, and that has kept back SDR. But also I think SDR so far leaves out a lot of the bigger picture needs, and I've been desperate to steer this thread away from "it's great" anec-data & into something more enriching & technically distinguishing.

This submission is so interesting in that there are plenty of radio devices here that have kept semi-conventional ham-ish form factors & capabilities, but which have SDR under the hood. My feeling is that less than 50% of that is software; that a lot of these radios are integrating analog signal chain systems normal ham gear would have like filters and amplifiers, that one has to pick & choose & build out - often with subideal results - to successfully replace ham gear with SDR.

This topic deserves better consideration. Maybe effective but depth is sufficient replacement to all these other typical analog doodads & gizmos; that could for sure be true. But I'd like a deeper exploration than 'we got great results & resolved a weak signal'. I think the $1300 LimeRFE exists for a good reason & purports to do good & valuable things we've want from good radio solutions. Rather than leave the conversation at some basic simple level like receiving a quiet signal, I think a deeper explanation & comparison would inform & help.
Their cars seem to drive okay on vision only.

The interesting thing about their end to end machine learning approach is that it has to be (at least partially) retrained not just for every country, but every state - every place that has different road rules. It's going to be a long time before they get thru every region they sell cars in.
This does not seem obscure to me at all. Having learned about C from reading djb's programs, I write programs that read their arguments from environmental variables. (See djbdns for example.) When I run one of these programs it's common to set variables on the command line, e.g.,

echo https://example.com|Connection=keep-alive yy025|nc -vvn 127.127 80

yy025 sets the HTTP Connection header according to the value of the corresponding environmental variable. If I want to send a POST request I set the variable httpMethod to POST. The address 127.0.0.127 is a TLS forward proxy. Original netcat allows one to type 127.127 without the zeros.

Using djb's envdir utility, one can put a selection of different HTTP headers into a directory so that there's no need to type them on the command line.

cd /path/to/dir
echo close > connection
echo aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded > content-type
echo id=123\;key=xyz > cookie
echo 19 > content-length
echo POST > httpMethod
echo /api/whatever > path
echo "{ \"key\": \"value\" }" > post-data
cd
echo https://example.com \
|if cd /path/to/dir;envdir . yy025;then
cat post-data;fi \
|nc -vvn 127.127 80

It's strange to me to see this author use printenv instead of set (a built-in) to display Bourne shell environmental variables. As someone who uses Bourne shell every day and on a variety of computers, I never use printenv. On the smaller systems I make, I do not include printenv in the userland.

The use of fgrep to match a single word in all caps is also strange.

Maybe I am just missing some UNIX wisdom here. If so, please disregard this comment.

>Further, what happens when you give an LLM a bank of long-term storage and a read-modify-write loop around it?

You create a very different sort of system, for one. Saying that because doing that in just the might way could yield a system with intention, an LLM has intention is rather like saying that my refrigerator is a sandwich.
ack, I was fooled by the screenshots. That is even less advisable than I had feared. the widgets would likely have very poor accessibility if they are implemented as text on canvas.
The scanner combos now have broken scanners on latest macOS.
Hard disagree.

The whole point of a process like this is that it's not final until it's final.

It's like saying "multiple courts agreed bob committed a crime, only the last court did not".

The result is still "bob did not commit a crime", and the intermediate results do not matter.

In this case one court said that the government violated the law.
Another court said "that's mostly wrong".
and now another court may say "the rest is wrong too". They may not!

You are trying to say that something bad happened based on the intermediate results in a system not designed for that.
that is the thing that is not a win for society - sensationalizing every step of a longer multi-step process that is built for checks and balances on itself.

Step past the news driven sensationalism and let the process play out. Once it's final, there will be plenty of time for judgement of the result, good or bad.
[aardio](https://aardio.com/)

I have been using aardio to develop desktop software for more than 4 years. I have developed many software. It is designed specifically for Windows desktop.

- Based on the syntax of Lua and JS, if you have one of these 2 foundations, you can get started in 1 hour.
- Comes with an IDE, developing, compiling, debugging, rich standard libraries and sample code.
- Support WYSIWYG UI control drag-and-drop.
- Supports WebView2 and native development mixed
- Support the use of Python, Go, C#, etc., can be used as a glue language.
- The size of the packaged file is very small
- The IDE and tutorials, documentation, and IntelliSense are only available in Chinese, but by using translation, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. For experienced programmers, it is easy to understand.
>Second, true it will continue on, but the error is well logged with a traceback. The thinking, I happen to agree with is that a logging error shouldn’t halt the program.

And the parameters are also logged, so you don't really lose anything should this somehow happen in production.
This may or may not apply to OPs app, but for mobile-first apps with a broad audience, having an identical appearance/interaction model across competing mobile platforms is a bug, not a feature.

Or maybe not exactly a "bug" but at least an unfortunate tradeoff because your org lacks in-house expertise on one or more of the target platforms.

The case of a single person using many apps on a single mobile platform is just so much more common than the case of a single person using your app on multiple mobile platforms that it makes far more sense to hew to the platform idioms at the cost of cross-platform consistency.

An obvious exception might be something like Slack, where it's common to use both the mobile app and the web app (either directly or via an Electron-like wrapper), but calling Slack "mobile first" is also a stretch.

Let’s not pretend they’re free. Even if you’re heavily optimizing, one of the best local models you can run today is CodeLlama 34B. To run that effectively, you need at least a used RTX 3090: $800 (assuming your computer already has everything else you need to effectively use one). They take 350W by default, but you can power limit them to 200W and preserve most of the LLM performance. If you’re in an average place where residential power is on the order of $0.2/kWh then you’ll pay $1 for every ~25 hours of use in power.

The output will be significantly slower than what you’d get from GPT-3.5, so if your time is worth anything then that will be a huge factor that’s hard to calculate. Just assume everything will take about 3 times longer though.

If you amortize the cost of the 3090 for as long as you’d expect it to be relevant, you can estimate a rough monthly cost of the hardware. I’d give it just over a year at the current pace before you’d probably want a replacement. That’s about $50/mo.

Operation at commodity scale with the still significant lead OAI or Anthropic has on efficient operations has its advantages beyond just SOTA performance.
Prove that it is life-saving instead of life destroying.

Oh, nevermind. You’d need the data that they sued to keep you from getting your hands on.

But yeah, I’m sure they have nothing to hide and this is just good technology with no problems.

The migrated VB6 code I saw back in the era when VS2003 came out was a thin glue layer over some compiled DLLs. So the result of using the converter was a thin VB.NET wrapper around very outdated, vulnerable, unsupported third-party code.

Linux has really piggybacked on Apple's efforts with the result that printing is way better there now. Beyond just the years of their work on CUPS, AirPrint is the big deal. Almost all printers for years now understand one of the handful of image formats Apple supports for printers, and they advertise themselves and their capabilities with DNS-SD.

The result is that pretty much you can just print, driverless, to anything halfway recent. The driver situation was really uneven before.

I don't know why we really need Mopria, the system Windows is going with, when we have IPP Everywhere, but the differences between AirPrint, IPP Everywhere and Mopria seem pretty minor.

Planner/Planify is an all-around decent to-do list/calendar app, kinda like Things for MacOS.

From there, you could also check out GNOME and KDE's default calendar apps to see if either of those do anything for you. Finally, if you want all the features (and a less-maintained app) then Evolution is the old GNOME groupware app that does scheduling really well.

>I have to drop nearly dead and only then will I go to doctors' for diagnosis and treatment.

This is a healthcare issue specific to your country. It is not a problem of "not enough measurements".

Regarding using tech like smartwatches for blood pressure measurement, it is currently not possible. They aren't measuring your blood pressure, they are simply correlating optical data like pulse transit time with your blood pressure, which is mostly inaccurate. If you have to calibrate every now and then using actual bp measurements, then you already have enough data and don't need your smartwatch.

I for one agree we should not, but also we shouldn't underestimate our opponents and assume that we are or will stay ahead.
Imo it's easier to quantify the value of adding new code than removing old code (in terms of dollars). Things that are more easily to quantify the value of tend to get higher priority. Same applies to other areas like performance optimization, testing, security, patching (some of these have high level data like the cost of incidents/downtime or the cost of a breach)

Some companies have processes in place to try to balance this like 20% of time spent on tech debt reduction
