I don’t like defeatist articles like this, but, there is some legitimacy to it, both in physiology and observation.

I would suggest that the practical solution is to prioritize exercise and food selection rather than calorie restriction.

It may be the case that some people need to eat a lot more to feel normal. Okay, fine, then they also need to exercise a lot more to be healthy. This is inordinately common among world-class athletes by their own admission, and it often shows up in their less-active retirement. So maybe you need to eat 6000 calories a day to feel normal. Okay, fine, do that, and actually put in the work to burn off the excess. Should be about 8 hours, and you’ll be a personal hero of mine at the end of a month of that.

I think most people would be a lot better-off if they would ignore the scale and focus only on performance, but be honest about it. For instance, I don’t care how much you weigh, but if you can’t run a mile in under 10 minutes and pick your own body weight off the floor, you’re going to have problems. Focus on improving a broad range of physical ability, eat as much as you need to keep improving, and you’ll be a lot better off in the long term.
Sounds like you have found some initial implementation problems that you have potential solutions for. The most important thing would be how secure is your appliance and how secure things are for when someone does get shell access.

Is all input validated and all output sanitized? Is the software continuously kept updated? Are you keeping up with regulations and security protocols required by the countries that your appliance is used in? Are you offering enterprise support contracts to pay for the added work of maintenance per customer?

The carbon dating thing is odd. To start with, "able to draw DNA evidence using radiocarbon dating" is a sentence that makes no sense to me. Secondarily, I wouldn't think that you could apply radiocarbon dating in a meaningful way to anything that's not from pre-nuclear-testing earth. It'd assume the C14 ratios are the same as earth's.

There is a lot more that's odd and not believable of course, this is just something that stood out to me.

> You say this like it is an unequivocal good, but I don't think it necessarily is. The world functioned before it was common to have instance frictionless access to a no-collateral high-rate loan.

The world also functioned before we had fractional reserve banking, but somewhere along the way we realized it's better to have it than not. It doesn't have to be an unequivocal good for it to be preferable, on balance, to living without.

It's hard to do an apples to apples comparison, but there are countries where there aren't credit cards like in the US, and they are poorer for it. Giving that a proper examination would require a far larger comment box than is here.

You can choose to opt out of the system. It requires a lot of work (and poverty) but the underground economy doesn't run credit checks.
This is interesting, since a german rapper and music label owner was accused of doing this to push his signed artists and launder his money from his former criminal activities. A "hacker" was whistleblowing this in a documentary on YouTube[1] a while ago.

Ask HN: How do you incorporate learnings from journaling?
I have a good journaling habit going since April. Every thought that I consider to be interesting, I write it down.

However, my reading habit is quite bad. In part, this is because I don't really know how to take my own ideas and move them to a more organized place (most of the time).

For people who read their own journal entries at a later point in time: what do you do (and why)? Do you categorize everything? Or do you just read it and that's that?

People are skeptical, but pretty much any online service that generates cash for end users will eventually be used for money laundering.

I agree Spotify is a particularly poor choice, but the expected payoff for many criminal activities are also extremely low.

I’m guessing some people tried, and either gave up, or are loosing an absurd fraction of the laundered cash.

What do you mean can't we get a little perspective? In terms of running a company vs the real world? Sure but this thread here is a more targeted conversation.

If you make 150-200 M in revenue and can't grow bridge the gap from revenue to profit to sustain operations you have a serious problem on your hands. I think you need a bit of perspective on what that means as you now have a lot of dependent workforce that you likely have to layoff to bridge it.

Yes it is impressive to make it to that point of revenue but your future is looking difficult especially as you probably have layoffs in the future - which is awful.
It should certainly be capable of removing everything the application created that wasn't manually exported by the user or saved into a user data directory. E.g. everything it made in XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_STATE_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME, etc. Probably not anything from XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR or the other "user data" directories.
My guess is that "There are no neutrons flying around" is a flippant way to say it's not ionizing radiation, since the common ionizing radiation is made up of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons), neutrons or very high frequency photons.

Imagine it says "It's not like there are high speed neutrons flying around".
Not only that, but it makes the pronunciation difficult. Should this be pronounced like the English word "love", or interpreted more like a German word (which actually has this letter in the alphabet, and guess what, it isn't the same as o) and more like "loeve"? The umlaut isn't just a graphical stylisation, it's a real thing.
Good to know. I tried hooking on an old(er) iPad with USB-C to a docking station. It mirrored the screen to another monitor but did not give me an extended desktop.

Does this model support / "understand" concepts of spatial audio? For example, something like "an alarm moving around you in a circle".

When AudioGen was announced this was my first question, but from what I've been able to test the model just ignores spatial audio prompts.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any discussion or interest in online discussion about the importance / significance of spatial audio. Why not?

You're not really engaging with the conversation, which is kind of my entire point about the group of people (like yourself) who say "ads bad" and that's it.

I gave a case where advertising allowed me to write a blog for years, without paying any money. Indeed people make these choices all the time - mobile games are a good example where people will not want to purchase the game for a dollar but are happy to watch an ad every 30 minutes.

Unless you're willing to accept that advertising has some potential value I don't think there's any point in us discussing solutions.

For a long time the merchant agreement for accepting credit cards required that you not charge a different price so merchants where forced to bake the price in.

Though the costs of cash and checks is probably more than the 3% fee on a credit card. Cash needs to be counted twice at the register, then change made which again is counted twice (at least, sometimes a 3rd time if the numbers are not the same!), then at the end of the day the manager needs to count it all twice again, and even then mistakes are made. On top of that is often stolen: by robbery, dishonest clerks, management fraud, and owner fraud (owners are defrauding the IRS, while management implies someone not the owner who is trusted to count the cash). Checks need to be counted as well, and they can bounce thus being worth very little (they are sold to collections - see article for hints to how that works). Credit cards by contrast are run electronically and so know instantly you are paid you don't have the overhead of adding up the numbers. (debit cards with the lower fees are still subsidizing the others)

One piece that I removed from the draft was about how I wanted to join in on the Node fun. In 2014, when I was writing very simple async Python Tornado code with "await", I saw the mess that was Node asynchronous development, and I was truly bewildered by why it was considered revolutionary and cool.

Sorta. You're forgetting to compare it to an alternative. Compared to a licensed therapist that you can find, schedule, travel to and afford... for some people an imperfect something is better than the nothing they have now.
I feel there will always be a difficult interplay between public and private. Public sites encourage wide sharing and dissemination, at the expense of curation and longevity. Private sites (whether peer-to-peer or scene) can impose top-down strictures to encourage uploading and retention and a certain quality standard, at the cost of widespread availability.

But these synergise—we all know that scene and P2P film releases percolate from private sites to public ones, for instance. Torrents may die in the public sphere before being reseeded from an obscure, yet shielded and resilient, private archive (I have done this). The economies of private sites encourage the contribution of new content, which after a requisite delay is disseminated outwards to the public sphere. Light is the left hand of darkness, darkness the right hand of light. (The same model applies among private sites too as content is cross-uploaded, building resilience in the shadow archive. When one private or public site shuts down, that content doesn’t all have to disappear.)

I would actually argue that where public materials are less available, it’s less because of the private sites (which will always exist) being private and more because there are no public sites for that media type to be mirrored to. Think Libgen, which absorbs almost all contributions to private book sites eventually. Music enjoyers aren’t so lucky usually, which I think is because of the language gap between the major public music site that you mentioned and private music sites which are predominantly English-language.

I'm fine with looking for alternatives to advertising, but so far nothing has been successful. People are choosing ads.
The primary purpose of an internship at most major companies is hiring - you can screen candidates much better before extending a full time offer and the candidates can also get a better read on how much they'd enjoy working there. Even the second order effect of drumming up hype for others to want to work there is probably more important to many internship programs than whatever the interns might tangibly produce.

At least I can say for sure that people at Google aren't shy about how it takes a few months to get up to speed with internal tooling and not much is actually expected from a summer intern. But they built themselves into a brand on campuses, which became so mainstream there was a stupid movie made about how fun it is supposed to be to intern at Google.

And as far as finance goes, trading interns aren't even legally allowed to trade, so I wouldn't be surprised if the culture surrounding internship at Jane Street just leans more heavily into this for SWEs as well.

Similarly, I don't find yaml easy to read/understand. XML had the curse of people trying to use every feature possible in most documents. And as much as I do prefer the "program" approach of emacs, I will make no defense of giant emacs config files, either.
This is an attempt to remain relevant with FedNow instant payments available, nothing more, nothing less. Looking at other jurisdictions with instant payment systems (UPI in India, PIX in Brazil), when these new systems are deployed, volume from for profit instant settlement value transfer systems rapidly diminishes.

I like my banks and other adult financial institutions because I have recourse through federal regulators or FINRA if they cause me harm. I have no such protections with PayPal. The lesson is to have accounts at real banks that plug into real time payment systems, where your funds are FDIC insured or invested in government securities with no risk of failure.

I can explain why. Java is great for web, api's and most things. But Java is not really that great for doing data science. Python is great for data science, the Python community has put a great effort making Python "The place to be for Data Science" and Rust helps us speed up heavy tasks that are too slow with Python.

It is not really crazy complicated, it's simple stuff that is very well documented. We try choose the right tool for the job, and we don't care about which language we use. If we tried to do everything in Java, we would spent at least 2x more time on building our software.

> However, syntactic noise of the form of lots of [s, ]s and equal signs isn't necessarily relevant.

I don't know that ': ' is any better than ' = '. I get being opinionated about it but this feels squarely in the realm of the subjective to me. Further, adding an errant '-' and accidentally creating another object is real common in YAML, which is something you can't do with TOML's lists. I think this washes out, tbh.

I think the primary limitation with TOML is the restriction that in-line tables cannot cross multiple lines. This is not done for technical reasons, it's an aesthetic choice on the part of the designer. It's analogous to forbidding comments in JSON.

I love TOML and will continue to use it as my default choice for configuration files, because I think most applications simply do not need the power and flexibility of YAML, even if The outright safety problems are mostly resolved in YAML 1.2. But I do agree that the inability of the syntax to convey nested structure is a limitation and it definitely gets annoying in larger configuration files, such as pyproject.toml files that tend to accumulate in larger Python projects. I have considered just manually indenting nested table blocks, even though that would look pretty ugly and is decidedly non-standard.

Safety is a reason why many people claim to purchase these cars but frankly I’m not convinced. These cars are comfortable and luxurious - appealing to safety is a way to tell themselves their purchase is practical and not frivolous.

In any case I agree; these vehicles do not in fact make us more safe, overall.
There are things which come with being the richest country and a really populous one - you're targeted by all kinds of scammers who view you as the best target.

Scammers use the same logic.

The problem with that is that indentations within indentations are just obnoxious. It is far from uncommon to add an item at the wrong level in a large config file. Worst is when you have a large file that is showing several meaningful lines of indentation on one screen, where the roots of several of those levels is not visible.

it is, and the french are kinda catering to the wackos by letting them tinker with the EU/FCC standards. unsurprisingly when you place the phones closer than normal, you get a higher measurement, and if you do not adjust the absorption limits then wow, it's over the limit! scary!

but there's no particular reason to think that this new, effectively lower absorption limit correlates to any particular health risk, or that it's a relevant threshold for absorption now that you've moved the phone closer.

the fact of the matter is, if there was some major absorption risk from phones, we'd have seen an abrupt spike in cancer rates in the 2000s when like 90% of the population suddenly started carrying a phone against their body for 16 hours a day. The world’s greatest (and ethical!) A/B test lol.

Unity silently changed the contract a little while back to remove the "we can't change this contract arbitrarily without you agreeing" clause. Which is to say, the terms that most of these devs would have agreed to when they started their current games _was_ one where Unity agreed not to force contract changes onto them.

Which is why it is not unreasonable for the devs to be both pissed off and feeling like they might have legal recourse as well.
