It is a market. However much they grow, exactly that much will end up sold. They'll drop the price if there is unsold inventory to sell it.

They can't be doing a physical estimate of how much lettuce people eat. If there was any variance at all in how much lettuce gets eaten (which there is) then there'd be constant lettuce shortages where the shelves were empty. That doesn't happen, so we can tell that they are using price signals to control how much gets sold.
Why should everyone raise their prices?
Sadly, this is not even clear cut, though of course this is a particularly egregious example.

For instance depending on jurisdiction it might be illegal to sell seeds that can make plants that can produce viable seeds, unless you have a specific authorisation and depending on the species.
No that would be amazing. But we don’t have the technology to map all the connections in large mammalian brains. It was done in the fruitfly just this year: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add9330
Gregg's book "Systems Performance" was a real game changer for me. Helped me understand how Linux internals and system performance inter-relate. I love how he's able to take these pretty esoteric concepts and flesh them out. Truly one of the Linux GOATs

He also wrote a lot about Solaris, but I won't hold that against him /s.

Just take the whole compressed, square, package-shaped "patty" of ground meat from the plastic and drop it into a ripping hot pan intact, and don't touch it until it browns pretty darkly on the bottom, then proceed to break it up and cook as normal. This gets you quite a lot of Maillard flavor without having to cook crumbled meat within an inch of its life. (As with most good ideas, this one came from Kenji.)

This relates to my biggest objection to this article, which is that the best cooking tip for ground meat (blind or not) is that it's really easy to hear the difference between the "hiss" of water evaporating as steam and the "sizzle" of it frying/browning, and the two things do not happen at the same time. Alternative title: "how to slowly steam ground meat flavorlessly without vision."

It would run as a service. You don't 'systemctl start' a timer as things stand now, so it's perfectly clear what that should do.

If you want to have a separate timer unit, or several of them, fine. But you shouldn't have to.
I ain't buying it. There is a replication crisis in the sciences, and it would not surprise me if this is wrong too, or at least that the results do not mean what they are purported to mean. I have read many personal accounts here and elsewhere of men who were able to eat a lot in their late teens, 20s, and early 30s, and then suddenly by their 30s gain a lot of weight despite not changing their lifestyle or diet much.

Inactivity alone does not explain it. Consider for example Bill Gate...according to his resume, in which he lists his precise height and weight, in his 20s he weighed just 125 pounds. It's evident he has put on a lot of weight, all in his mid-section, well before he turned 60. His job literally entailed sitting at a computer all day coding. If anything, given his philanthropy efforts and retirement, he is more active now than he was in his 20s when working full-time at Microsoft. Is he eating more? I doubt it.

For so many people, celebrities for example, a switch is flipped in which there is sudden weight gain after the age of 30 or so, like John Travolta, Stevie Wonder and others. Because celebrities are photographed, you can see the weight progression and the abrupt jump in weight. Even with money for personal chefs and trainers, not gaining weight is hard.

I can personally attest that if I ate the same quantity of food now as I did at 20 I would gain weight, and no I'm not 60. And I am just as active , maybe more so. So yeah not buying this study.

If what you are asking was a valid way to do things, could companies just make some front company in a foreign country to make a website to sell items that are illegal to sell in any other country? When this hypothetical front web company is shut down, another would be started by "unrelated" interests. The article also lists chemicals that are illegal to use in the USA as also being openly sold on EBay, for which EBay is also being pursued by the Justice Department, where I assume the makers are either foreign or possibly domestic but supposedly only for use in foreign countries.

EBay itself does not agree with the logic of your argument either, they agree that selling these things is wrong because they claim the block 99% of the items and from reading that article it's implied that their defense is to be that they cannot stop everything.
though i dont know much about it, i run linux and most of the documents i hear about tuning edge cases are now either avoided or boilerplated with a strong word of caution. For example: 10Gb ethernet used to require a litany of sysctl.conf chicanery to even approach half the line speed. not the case anymore, and most of the old kernel 2.4 optimisations are either nonsensical in 2023 or actively worsen the performance of the interface.
Well, in EU overall, we went to only 1/3 of electricity being produced with fossil fuels. I think it pretty much proves that fossil fuels aren't necessary. We are going to be down to under 10% in less than 10 years, using the already existing technologies and with no assumption of further cost declines: just with incremental buildout.

When we set out to build GRID, we quickly realized that what people use spreadsheets for can broadly be split in two categories: Models and tables.

Models are free-form sheets with formulas that typically generate insights in the form of output based on a set of inputs.

Tables are the structured sheets that typically have (somewhat) defined columns detailing the attributes of each row of data. Insights from tables generally come from filtering, grouping, aggregating and sorting the row-level data.

As you point out, a lot more attention has been paid to the table use-case where people are essentially using their spreadsheets as small databases. Historically you could say this the usage pattern that gave birth to the modern BI tools (such as Qlik, Tableau and PowerBI). More recently, this is where companies like Airtable and Smartsheet play, but also to some extent what Coda and Notion are trying to achieve with their tables/databases.

The models are where GRID shines. The unique value GRID offers is the ability to easily create and publish an interactive web document on top of spreadsheet calculations, whether the models are built in Excel, Google Sheets or in our own built-in GRID Sheets.

I don't think this specific category has a name, but more broadly we've seen people talk about "next-gen spreadsheets" where - in addition to GRID - Equals, Rows and Spreadsheet.com also play, each with their own unique flavor.

GRID is clearly the solution that leans most heavily into models and interactivity (hence the focus on our engine as evidenced e.g. by alexharri's article).

While all the other solutions have capable calculation engines, I think it's fair to say that they are more focused on table-like use cases. Equals leans heavily into data connectivity, governance and reusability of spreadsheets, while Spreadsheet.com focuses a lot on project management use cases. Both offer an otherwise very traditional spreadsheet user experience. Rows has also focused a lot on connectivity, but lately they have leant heavily into AI to generate insights from data in their spreadsheets.

I'm assuming a purely conventional conflict since there's no telling how bad the shitshow will get if nukes start being exchanged.
I think thats basically true for most people, hence the belief that metabolism slows with age.

Proving that its not metabolism would imply that our weight gain in later life is a combination of other factors. I would bet good money on the increase in sedentary leisure activities, the reliance on motorised vehicles and a lack of energy to be active.

I would bet on those long before anything as nebulous as diet or intake volume.
> I wouldn't advise any new writers to imitate Shakespeare if they want to be published today.

It's very easy to get published today, I just got published and so did you.

But sure, your advice is probably good if you are concerned mainly with commercial success. I would venture to guess, though, that most great, enduring writing comes from something inside the writer that they feel they have to express, rather than from looking outside themselves for the right "product-market fit." Some writers find a simple, lapidary style, others prefer more ornate language. Both can be great and I don't think we should call one right and one wrong.
From the first source:

Our 4.54-billion-year-old planet probably experienced its hottest temperatures in its earliest days, when it was still colliding with other rocky debris (planetesimals) careening around the solar system. The heat of these collisions would have kept Earth molten, with top-of-the-atmosphere temperatures upward of 3,600° Fahrenheit.

The second source is a chart going back 500 million years.

How is that related to IPCC projections and climate change, which are about the environment humans evolved to survive and thrive in - physiologically over 7 million years (when we had the last common ancestor with chimps), culturally and technologically over 10 thousand years.
Mid 20s with when your lifestyle shift just starts to catch up to you.

You go from a more active young person that eats just enough to get back to hanging with friends to binge drinking in an instant. Then you go from that to a much lazier, snackier lifestyle of 9-5.

Yeah, people on the whole do get fatter in their 30s, but that’s very easily linkable to lifestyle.
On Windows it would be no contest of all because Windows security checking for file access is crazy slow.
I'm only 30 and no plans on going on TRT soon, but I definitely plan to if my levels start to get below the normal range for a substantial period of time just based on all the positive effects being in the normal range brings.

I am highly into fitness myself, but I know plenty of either friends or people I've met who are already getting TRT mostly because they want it to help them, but many of them have so many other issues that its just masking when it comes to things like diet, training, consistency, etc.

Additionally in the fitness world many go on TRT even when they already have normal test levels partly because they don't see it quite as "cheating" as other performance enhancing drugs are seen.
For those just wanting to know what the “problem” was:

Their assumptions about climate being tied to latitude proved incorrect, as the extreme seasons and severe storms differed from the more moderate European climates. They were also unaware of how eastward-flowing air masses and the tail end of the Little Ice Age were affecting North American weather.

Thank you. Much too often the replies in threads on prices are just a conspiracyfest of people alleging things that make no economic sense without providing any kind of evidence.

At certain times. At other times the regenerative braking isn't even operating. So unfortunately it doesn't do much good because you still need to design the brakes to cover what's needed during those tines when regenerative braking isn't helping.

Muscle burns more energy than fat. As people age, their muscle mass declines without sufficient exercise, so we'd naturally expect the average person's metabolism to decline via this even if "metabolism per kg muscle" didn't change.
> Wikipedia says that it rains 39.34 inches annually in Seattle. Is that a lot?

The precipitation in seattle (mist) and the precipitation in nyc ( rain ) are two different animals. For example, pretty much everyone in nyc owns an umbrella. Pretty much nobody in seattle owns an umbrella. Why would that be if it 'rains' more in seattle?

It's probably true that seattle gets more precipitation because it's constantly misty for 6 or 7 months. You can go weeks without seeing the sun in seattle. In nyc, the precipitation is mostly in the form of actual rain and downpours. You can dumped on and the clouds clear. Maybe a system will bring downpours for a couple of days. But it always clears. You rarely get dumped on in seattle and if so, for a short time frame. And the skies never clear. It just remains and annoys you with mist.

> Seattle has 156.2 rainy days.

Nope. Not rainy days. Maybe 6 rainy days and 150 misty days.

In the northeast, you can actual weather. In the west coast, it's flimsy weather. I've no other word to describe it. People who experienced both will get what I'm trying to say.

Insulin resistance and PCOS absolutely have effects on metabolism. It’s very well studied.
I helped make a really cursed RISC-V version of this for a class project last year! The idea was to first compile each program to WASM using clang, and lower the WASM back to C but this time with all opcodes implemented in terms of the RISC-V vector intrinsics. That was a hack to be sure, but a surprisingly elegant one since
1. WASM's structured control flow maps really well to lane masking
2. Stack and local values easily use "structure of arrays" layout
3. Heap values easily use "array of structures" layout

It never went anywhere but the code is still online if anyone wants to stare directly at the madness: https://gitlab.com/samsartor/wasm2simt
Your body can change the temperature gradient near its surface to retain or expel heat without a change in metabolism.
As an adult it's really hard to pick up a language to be conversational. I tried, it's alot of dedication.

This is interesting for me to see. For the longest while I was wondering why through my 40s and later I didn't seem to be hit with middle-aged weight gain, all while living my sedentary life in the computer chair. I wouldn't classify myself as average though, I've always had low heart rate/low blood pressure and low blood sugar. Swimming in salt-water is fun because I can float without much effort.

I did notice a decline in metabolism/muscle mass in the past several years, so I took to walking rather than driving in the city/neighbourhood and eating more and regularly which seems to have brought my levels back up somewhat. Now I look like someone who only goes to the gym on leg days.
If they installed a keyboard with the same app id (e.g. com.google.[...]) F-Droid would try to update it and ask the user to confirm the update since F-Droid can't update an app that was installed by another app store.

I'd be curious which keyboard this is. Maybe Gboard took over the app id of the previously foss android keyboard.

PS: I recommend F-Droid Basic which supports silent background updates on any Android 12 without root.
> Human beings can act on the world as well as perceive it

Conceptually this is the same for LLMs.

Input/perceive -> human/LLM -> output/act. You might say the acting part for LLMs is not autonomous but that is only dependent on how much agency is given to LLMs. LLMs outputs are massively used, hence their outputs lead to actions.

> and humans have rich internal models of the world that get updated continously as a result of those rich two-way interactions.

What is different from LLMs: rich, continuous. I would argue these are quantative and qualitative traits that fall outside of what I meant with "conceptually".
Never mess with the endocrine system! the real killer for mens T levels, ie the perception of low T, is sitting around all day.

That was one of several methods, but I (usually) don’t go that deep in comment threads.

For Advanced Data Analysis, I had it “use Jupyter to write Python” to transform the content of our conversation, including “messages that appeared before this one” or “after ‘You are ChatGPT’”, into a list of dicts.

For both voice and mobile, I opened the same Advanced Data Analysis chat in the iOS client, pointed out that I believed the code was incorrect, and suggested “that’s weird, I think the context changed, could you verify that the first dict is correct?”

It merrily said (paraphrasing) “holy hell, you’re right! Let me fix that for ya!”

And then, you know, it fixed it for me.

I hope that one day, our cars are equipped with outward facing cameras, and the feature to auto-report speeding and dangerous driving behaviors on the road to the authorities and/or the insurers.

I drive in Miami proper and EVERY TIME I'm on the road (especially when heading into/out of Miami), I would encounter at least two cars that drives very dangerously (not just speeding, but like cutting across you--driving in the center lane--very closely from the right lane; not signaling and making a sudden right turn into a street in a crowded street; etc. I had to buy up a front and rear facing dashcams, and I sometimes wish I had a button on my steering wheel that would send the last 10 seconds or so of the dashcam recording to the insurance companies or the traffic police.
Are you eating with the same consistency as when you were young? Are you walking the same amount as you used to? Are you partying with the same frequency? Etc.
1) time window (e.g. only run between 1am and 3am on weekdays)

Should just be `OnCalendar` in the timer.

2) periodicity (if job was successful, next run is X time away)

Not sure if this is specified as 1 && 2, or 1 || 2. 1 or 2 is pretty easy, 1 and 2 I think requires two timers, a "run-on-sunday" that then enables the "now run every 20 minutes" timer. Both do-able though.

3) retry period (if job failed, retry after X time)

Unit files should already do this, but it will be disconnected from the timer, the unit can retry every 10 minutes if it fails, up to 5 times, but AFAIK the timer wont check the status of the service before running. BUT I also think you can configure the unit to only run once so depending on your setup it would either not duplicate the service, or you would have killed it before the next timer.

4) job timeout (if job is still running after X time, kill it)

JobTimeoutSec, (also JobTimeoutAction might be useful).

5) start randomization (randomize start up to X time in window)

RandomizedDelaySec

6) job dependencies (don't run job Y until job Z has finished successfully)
7) job anti-dependencies (don't run job Y while job Z is active)

I think you could do both of these, but it would probably be at the unit level, not the timer. I think properly configuring a "Z still running, try Y again in 2 minutes" might be hard or might not be, as systemd can queue jobs, I think it might just queue Y until it hits a timeout and kills it.

I think you can actually achieve all this but might require a bit of setup building a graph that flips timers on or off but at its core I think all the "if x then y" bits exist.

My major complaint against systemd is that its documentation is so complete, it becomes quite dense and you have to understand quite a lot of interconnected parts. "The problem is the problem" though, its complex because what it aims to do is complex. I am still positive on it as a whole though.

You could also write a systemd generator to build all these files from a single specification.
