There are multiple issues with this article:

1) Fat cells are strongly conserved.

Your body "knows" how many fat cells it has and will replace them if you try to get rid of them.

This has the effect that liposuction doesn't work for weight loss. Your body simply puts the removed fat cells back somewhere else. There are studies about this.

My suspicion is that they are strongly conserved over the short term but over the long term can be adjusted. The body almost never supports an excess in something it doesn't need if it can get rid of it. However, there are no medical studies about this and they would be fairly difficult to carry out.

2) Fat cells absolutely get replaced. They have a half-life of somewhere between 2-3 years.

3) Fat cells "remember" the local chemical environment when created.

This means that fat cells "remember" your weight. This is one of the many mechanisms which fight you when you lose weight. It's why you have to maintain lower weight to get your setpoint moved down.

I like this way of looking at it also, thanks!
So why not reserve fixed addresses for everything? What is the merit of having devices located at different addresses?

For example, on IBM PC devices like keyboard or mouse or beeper had fixed addresses and it caused no issues.
> Rather problem is it won't be successful since people recognize "champagne" and they will order that.

It could be successful if these people stop being snobs and educate themselves a bit. For instance I like Prosecco, not Champagne sparkling wine. But since the former is not a protected designation of origin, I have to revert to buying DOC or DOCG, look for Conegliano, Valdobbiadene or Milesimatto on the label. If a large wine producer from say Germany would start slapping these words on Sekt labels and flood the EU market with the product, how would I be able to tell the difference without buying and tasting the product? Luckily, the Germans like it extra dry and are proud of their own product, which is great.
Yes, but Bazel requires an all-in commitment and also tons of work to fit the rest of the world into it.
A native client would usually, for the most part, be written in a language native to that OS, and usually compiled. The discerning factor is that native apps, or any apps which use (actually) native GUI frameworks (as opposed to gpu rendering their own), integrate much better with the OS
Why would you use a "Free Download Manager" when wget is right there? Or a web browser, such as Firefox? Or torrent clients to deal with large Linux ISO downloads? Or the various storefronts, like Steam? Or your own distro's package manager?

This wasn't packaged on any distro, so this isn't even a meaningful attack: Users had to go out of their way to install it from a foreign source. This is no different than if you downloaded a random .exe and ran it on Windows with admin access.

Its not a supply chain attack, its a PEBKAC attack.

Was this true? I recall back when the first wave of App Store games were coming out, the general feeling among mobile players was "You buy your $40 game, and I'll buy 40 $1 games and we'll see who has more fun." So I think mobile games were always dirt cheap.

Nowadays, of course, the $40 game is $70+Battle Pass+Digital Deluxe Upgrade+Day 1 DLC and the $1 game is free but contains a hypnotoad that will mind control you into spending $400 a month gambling for jpegs.

it's a child. By definition it doesn't know what it values. This has seemingly been forgotten but parents have a mentorship and guiding role. Their job is to cultivate in their children interest in activities in the first place. When I was young I hated that my parents made me learn an instrument, because I wanted to play video games and eat ice cream all day. As an adult (who became a part time musician) I understand the value of it.

Yes, you shouldn't assume consistent intentions from a behemoth like Google. However, in large and fragmented companies, leadership's moral compass often faces numerous pressures, and on average will trend downward in an economic system with perverse incentives such as the one we have today.

A decade ago, I remember buying 500MB or 1GB of mobile internet credit and burning through that in an evening just reading news and stuff. Today, with uBlock Origin and NoScript, I can buy the same amount of mobile internet and it lasts me quite a while. I therefore concluded that, while website bloat does exist, what really consumes bandwidth is advertising, and that can be avoided. Moreover, a decade ago lazy loading of images was not common, but now the respective CSS tag exists, is supported by browsers, and widely implemented by CMSs like Wordpress.
Maybe you can bruteforce time correlation by shifting every source slightly, trying a yuge number of shift combinations and seeing which combination gives the 'best' (most correlated) output on a known signal? I've done that for many out-of-sync systems, and since I've started using GPUs in the two Os I've become obsessed with brute force methods :-)
Mobile is the kind of use case where the pricing changes will be massively impactful though. If you're selling a non-mobile game for $10+ then you can just eat the per-install fee, but if you're shipping a free to play app or a $1 app? The per install fee could make your business model nonviable.

gpt3.5 turbo is a new model, not Curie. As others have stated, it probably uses Mixture of Experts which lowers inference cost.
I mean really - the obvious, most featureful and well known one would be C++ with Qt or something, but thats way too unsafe (says the crowd using Chrome which is mostly C++).

Rust doesnt have any mature GUI frameworks, and Lisp is probably the best choice here (for some reason).
It saves on communication time, less repeating.

I get a lot of cold emails from my website, asking me things. I ask those corresponding with me to ask the questions on my BBS instead, so when I take the time to answer, the answer benefits more than one person, and there is increased ROI on the time and energy spent constructing a thoughtful reply.
To be fair, steam offers a massive amount of goodies on top, including a built in mod store, tools for multiplayer, forums, and many more. I'd argue that the platform is worth at least 10% if used to it's fullest (and after a certain threshold the 30% goes down anyway — though imo it should start low for small studios)

The same cannot be said for the app store. Save from basic DRM (steam has this), leaderboards (steam has this) & achievements (steam has this), you get much less for that cut.
I had some fun back in College in the 90’s cutting out articles from Weekly World News and tacking them to the bulletin board just outside the physics library. This board was full of cutouts of interesting real science articles, regularly thumbtacked by the librarians.

One example WWW headline was something like “Scientists discover black hole the size of a head of a pin in the Nevada desert.”

Actually, there was more to it than satire and comedy.

WWN was made into what it was by the same guy as was behind the creation of the National Enquirer as a tabloid - Gene Pope.

A graduate of MIT in just 3 years, when he bought up the Enquirer he'd been employed in the CIA's psychological warfare department immediately prior.

This was in 1952, the same year the CIA and other military groups met to discuss the increase in UFO sightings (like the ones making front page news over Washington DC that same year), and started project Blue Book.

Suddenly Gene Pope buys up a struggling periodical, turns it into a tabloid putting stories of UFO sightings next to sightings of Elvis being alive. This was expanded in 1979 to the WWN, where the paired stories became even more outrageous (Bat Boy).

For decades the mere mention of UFOs was typically associated with tin foil hats, and was the result of a likely intentional domestic propaganda effort that took on legs of its own as successful tabloids in their own right.

What's the general consensus on Obsidian?

Right. But why have the "pro" line if the phones aren't equivalent? I'm sure there's probably some opaque reason why the smaller size can't have the 5x optical zoom as well but I still think it's dumb.

I want the Pro version. I want all of the features, but not the Max size. But that phone doesn't exist for some reason. I want to believe it's a practical limitation, but my guess is the main reason is to up sell.
Probably not very good on a team, yeah. I actually have a bit of a toy game engine for the browser/ThreeJS targeted at making games similar to the Windows 95 screensaver. Learned some good things like GLSL and shaders but working in JS was definitely a bit of a slowdown when I'd hit classes of bugs that wouldn't be possible in C#, even with annotations helping me. But other times it was convenient being able to pass stuff around without writing up classes or structs for them as you alluded to.

Has a brief overview in its README if anyone wants to check it out: https://github.com/ldyeax/MazeEngine

I have more expansive ideas for it but for now the main demo is this silly museum. https://jimm.horse/maremuseum

It's a fun experiment in seeing what JS can do, it's cool having it run natively on the web, and annotations get you a lot of the way there, but in a context like Unity I'd never pick it over C#. Typescript might be alright but at that point why bother? C# has anonymous types, tuples, and such today too.
You can keep around the KV cache from previous generations which lowers the cost of prompts significantly.

One option that doesn't seem to be mentioned is the used of beamed energy such as laser (visible or infra-red spectrum) which provide energy directly to a rocket.

This might be used in a secondary process (e.g., ion or plasma generators) or directly (heating atmosphere and/or fuel) to generate thrust.

The advantage is that the power source is on the ground, and need not be lofted, which removes part of the rocket-equation limit. It's still required to source or carry reaction mass, and I'd suggest that at least a fair portion of that be obtained within the atmosphere.

I don't know what a launch trajectory would look like, though I suspect something which went relatively slowly vertical (to minimise low-elevation drag), then began a hybrid lifting-ballistic flight at the highest possible levels of the atmosphere, powered by a planet-ringing set of laser stations, and acquiring reaction mass from the atmosphere itself, might be within the realm of reason?

It also strikes me that a world with sufficient mass would tend to retain hydrogen gas itself (though that would still likely react with oxygen to form water vapour), but at higher elevations there might be a significant differential fraction of H2 to other atmospheric components. Root mean squared velocity of H2 at 27 C (300 K) is about 7,000 kph (~4,300 mph).[1]

That's already less than Earth's escape velocity, so the problem is the molecules which have higher velocity that "boil off" into space.[2] I don't have the chops to compute this.

But a laser-pumped mesospheric hydrogen ramjet rocket might be able to take advantage of highly-energised (heated or ionised) hydrogen to gain escape velocity on even a significantly larger Super-Earth.

The software becomes much simpler. No need to parse any device trees. When something changes (for example, 128-bit quantum memory becomes available), simply make revision 2 for standard and move device addresses to other place.

I love this. When I was CEO of a roughly 60-person startup, one of the things I told my (then-new) executive team was, I don't do 1:1s and I'm not here to develop you professionally. If you require professional development, I made a mistake placing you on my executive team. It helped establish a culture of execution and high standards.

It also fostered a lot of trust and cohesion. Everyone knew they were there because they deserved to be there, and so it made it very easy to make fast, correct decisions without a lot of bullshit. They were a great group and I felt lucky to have them on the journey.

How does electric cooling compare to say optoelectronic laser cooling in terms of cost and efficiency?

This is Sony, so their electrical engineers clearly know what they are doing.

But at the same time I can't understand how such a thing works using pure white noise. Feynman famously described (and disproved) a similar energy-harvesting device [0] except one that uses mechanical noise and a mechanical rectifier instead of the electrical noise and electrical rectifier of Sony. He showed that such a device will eventually stop working due to the second law of thermodynamics. Why doesn't that happen in the Sony chip?

- Plugging the phone in is so easy.

- With Wireless Carplay presumbably I'd have to futz with the phone anyway if both of our phones are associated with the entertainment system

- I still have to take the phone out of my pocket to put it on the wireless charging pad. That is actually the hassle, not plugging the phone in

- If I don't care about charging my phone, I assume my phone is going to heat up in my pocket and drain the battery while I'm doing Wireless Carplay stuff

- A lot of my driving is short 10-15 min trips. Can put a pretty decent charge into my phone during that time with the wired connection. Not with inductive charging.

I stumbled upon OpenRouter[0] a few days ago. Easiest I’ve seen by far (if you want SaaS, not hosting it yourself).

My apologies. By "generally infinite" I merely meant "generally thought of as infinite," not like I was invoking some special class of nigh-infinitude. By the way, I wouldn't say an infinite universe doesn't necessarily imply that everything exactly repeats. Take any irrational number like pi. We know for a fact that it doesn't repeat itself exactly because if it did, it would not be irrational. Although it seems likely that pi is "normal" and that any finite segment of it will repeat infinitely many times, that is not a requirement of all infinite numbers. One could imagine a number called pu where every 9 but the first is replaced with a 0. So, 3.1415926535807032, etc. What can we say about pu? It a) is an actual number with a precise definition, b) is infinitely long, c) is aperiodic thus irrational, but d) only has one 9 in its entire infinitely long decimal expansion. Similarly, the cosmos might conceivably have some "one off" features that never repeat, even if it is infinite.

But I still haven't answered your question. My answer is, yes, if spacetime curvature is exactly 0, then it's my understanding (as a non-cosmologist) that the equations imply that the universe is that infinite such that conceivably everything could in principle repeat an infinite number of times. Although I myself am curious what the estimated size of just the non-repeating part would be.
