How much "passive activity" were we doing back in the day?

So as a teenager, I was carrying 5-10kg of books and walking back and forth between classes every 40 mins.

As an undergrad I was travelling across campus multiple times a day, spent hours on my feet in labs, did multiple heavy grocery shuttles and also spent a lot of time partying.

In my first job, I was still getting up 5-6 times a day for meetings and had a decent walk/cycle built into the commute. but in my first remote job, I could be sat in the same spot for 8-10 hours without moving. And because I wasn't drinking water I wouldn't need to go to the bathroom... /facepalm I'd also be so engrossed that sometimes I'd forget to turn on the lights...

So even though I do more than an hour of intense exercise a day, my activity outside of those exercise hours has cratered from when I was a teenager and was constantly running around.

It’s funny how you assume they need to collude instead of each acting in its own independent selfish interest.

Why does one need to present strong evidence that prices will rise by $7500 when the demand curve suddenly shifts right by $7500 due to government intervention? Surely this is just Econ 101.
To be clear, I didn't want the vehicle just for moving stuff. Life is a lot easier for two working parents if there are two vehicles.

Conventional wisdom says that people throw trash on the ground at a rate inversely proportional to the number of public trash cans. Japan has very few public trash cans (a response to the sarin gas attacks in the 90s) yet their streets remain clean.

Does the example of Japan prove the conventional wisdom wrong?

If YouTube dies another party will take their place and hopefully learn from their mistakes. But YouTube won’t fail because it’s backed by Google and they’ll squeeze their monopoly for all that it’s worth.
> Do you really think Google just set the price arbitrarily?

No, not arbitrarily. But that $14/mo bundles in the price of other services as well, namely Youtube Music. Youtube Music doesn't cost Google nothing, so obviously $14/mo isn't what they're getting from people in ad revenue. A comparable music subscription from spotify costs $11/mo, so subtract that from $14/mo. $3/mo is a fair estimate for what they expect to get for showing ads.
They still data mine every move you make.

Here in Vancouver, I see bad drivers, cyclists who don’t abide by the rules for cyclists, and pedestrians that are also a careless.

I don’t disagree that there are bad drivers, but unfortunately it’s the cyclists and pedestrians who pay the highest price for either their or a drivers negligence.

So if I’m a pedestrian, I’m going to make sure the cars are stopping before I step into traffic. Doesn’t matter if I’m right or not, I don’t want to be dead.

> Someone launched "Python 2.8" without any affiliation to the Python Foundation, that's a silly move. […]

> Something called Tauthon is still being patched every few months for people who can't let go of Python 2.7

I was curious and did a search for Python 2.8 and found:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13144713

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13159144

Clicking on the GitHub repo it seems that in fact the project making unauthorised use of the name “Python 2.8” was the one that ended up changing its name to Tauthon. Neat!
The study says that TDEE is generally constant from 20 to 60. Multiple studies have shown that on average people do a terrible job of estimating their food intake ([1], [2] for example), especially when they aren't actively monitoring it. Meanwhile the person you're talking about (who isn't properly "OP") is claiming that they ate more in their 20s than they do today without corresponding health effects. This is not consistent with TFA nor with previous research.

Absolutely! Yeah, NICE-SUGAR definitely has its flaws, the main one being that it has a lot more hypoglycemia than it should - a combination of the open loop protocol, infrequent sample time, no patient model, and static dosing protocol with only rescue bolusing. We did a series of simulation studies a few years ago comparing various state of the art ICU controllers, and while NICE-SUGAR has excellent time in range, it has poor performance in the hypo range, which has been linked to increased mortality.

The key is to get low variability and lots of time in range, but absolutely no hypoglycemia of any kind. That's what it's going to take to crack this problem. We hope our second human trial will continue to show those characteristics, and in a few years, an RCT pivotal trial.

Here's the NICE-SUGAR protocol for your reference: https://studies.thegeorgeinstitute.org/nice/docs/ALGORITHM.p...

Board control and share control are two different and competing things, with the board generally trumping shareholders.

The board is not controlled by shareholders. The board has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best financial interest of the shareholders as a whole. But they (the board) essentially have full authority to decide what that means to them. Shareholders are effectively powerless outside of court, except for whatever power a board intentionally briefly concedes to them.
Sorry, I did not intend to imply that was your case. I was more responding to a the reply (whether sarcastic or not) wishing that a car existed that combined both commuter and "move stuff" characteristics.

This seems like a good test to determine the amount of competition in an economic sector. With suficient competition, the price will race to the slimmest sustainable profit margin. I mean you could try to raise your price up by $7500, but if your competitors don't, who will be getting sales?

In any case, EV prices have been dropping over recent years, and I haven't seen a $7500 bump in prices, just in more people being willing to go for a nicer vehicle instead.
There are plenty of solutions for running Python in an IDE on the iPad. There is an even an x86 emulator and a Linux terminal built on top of it in the App Store.

It can run anything that you can run on an x86 in user mode. I downloaded the AWS CLI (which requires Python) to run some tests

By the way, you were completely wrong about VSCode being written in .Net.

> That's just compiling the code to a native binary, which you would then have to go submit through Apple's store. How does that help for an IDE expected to allow you to test (i.e. execute) and debug the code you've just written ten seconds ago?

There is an existence proof that it could be done. If you ran iSH with remote VNC you could have a full IDE on a Mac.

> We can see right there some examples of what isn't allowed:

> But what does it matter if something is an "application" or not? Why is it any better if Apple precludes third parties from competing with their kernel extensions?

It matters because once you allow kernel extensions it can bypass the security sandbox.

Do you also think that Apple should allow third parties access to the Secure Enclave?
It feels like Premium Economy is what Economy was a few years ago, and Economy is basically anything they can unbolt and sell me seperately. I fully expect my next flight's safety lecture to feature "In the event of tubulence, please tap your card next to the contactless icon for the oxygen mask to drop."

What I'd like to see is an airline with:
* Single-class seating
* No frequent flyer programme.

First and business class create weird perverse incentives: they'd rather leave seats empty most of the time in the hope they'll get a few business travelers not spending their own money, or people who managed to grind their way to Triple Oganesson status and managed to drag an upgrade out of the system. The rest of the time, it's just an obnoxious reminder that they could be providing a better experience, but you're not paying them enough to get it.

Frequent flyer programmes will never make sense for a large section of passengers. So again, it's just another thing to hassle customers with, either as extra steps in checkout, or a place to say "well, if you spent enough money with us every year, we'd let you skip to the front of a queue."

I think the most flights I've taken in a year was four return trips, to two different destinations, using three different airlines. There's no way I could generate enough points to earn meaningful status or "free" travel in a practical timeframe, and even if I could, it's not going to change the fact that many city pairs have limited service choices. I'm not sure there are enough points you can give me to justify injecting a 50% price premium, flight change and four hour layover into a trip that's three and a half hours if I go direct via $other_airline.

The best I could do is instead intentionally select a rewards credit card programme, and attempt to divert spending to that to attempt to rack up points. If I'm going to use a rewards card, I'll use one that reimburses me in actual money, instead of a corporate scrip subject to surprise devaluation or blackouts. Theoretically if I line everything up just right, I could get 42% back in the form of Air Koryo Fun Points, but only if I use the card on months with no "R" to buy UberEats delivery of pork rinds. By comparison, 1.5-2% of hassle-free American Dollars across any purchases feels like less of a cryptic puzzle made by a DM who spends too much time in Excel, and more of an actual incentive.

Yes I read your post it was like half a paragraph…We produce more but there’s more retirees and they live longer.

At the end of the day the contributors have to siphon off part of their earnings to give to the beneficiaries. Believe it or not, there is in fact many scenarios where the entitlements of the beneficiaries exceeds the input from the contributors. Just because we produce more per worker, does not mean we can support any arbitrary ratio of workers to retirees (who become more expensive over time).
EV share on US roads is only about 5% (by VMT, i.e. if you stand on the corner and count cars). The median age of cars on the road is ~13 years. Market share for EVs is about 8% of new sales. You do the math, but for me it doesn't look like anywhere near 50% in America by 2030 unless they literally outlaw oil.

Similar to cache 'hits or misses', I always thought the idea of the underlying 'knowledge cache' being exhausted (i.e. its embedding space) would fit the bill nicely.

Another way of framing it would be along the lines of 'catastrophic backtracking' but attenuated: a transformer attention head veering off the beaten path due to query/parameter mismatches.

These are by no means exhaustive or complete, but I would suggest knowledge exhaustion, stochastic backtracking, wayward branching or simply perplexion.

Verbiage along the lines of misconstrue, fabricate and confabulate have anecdotally been used to describe this state of perplexity.

It'd be good to see some numbers because that article is pretty vague on where the fault lies. A Tesla 3 is about the same weight as my Ford Mondeo, same shape car. The article points out that (a) Americans buy larger cars than are perhaps necessary and (b) it's the acceleration that causes an issue too. Nowhere is it saying how much worse the problem is. I would say this is a low quality article.
1. There’s an assumption here that all manufacturers will simultaneously raise prices by $7,500 in response to a demand curve shift. If a single manufacturer steps out of line and lowers prices, they will carry more volume, and therefore more revenue.

2. Manufacturing costs do not increase when subsidies are introduced. EVs, as a result, have higher profit margins. Therefore, this will result in enticing more firms to enter a more lucrative market, resulting in more EV sales, which really, isn’t that the goal of subsidies in the first place?
