What you're missing here is that whole grains (or whole foods in general) are biologically active with phytochemicals such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, lingans, etc, which their processed counterparts generally have less of (or none at all). These compounds get into our body and then work in many ways (many of which that we don't fully understand) to improve important markers of human health.

Plant food is biologically active in ways that animal products are not, and I think people who eat exclusively meat as a source of protein are missing out on a lot of opportunity from the chemical activity of plants that has been shown to be health promoting.

Whole foods do have more antinutrients but in studies I've seen most authors conclude that the benefits greatly outweigh the risks. I agree that I am concerned about the metals in whole foods though; and careful sourcing is important (and even then sometimes insufficient).

Not everything should be taken literally word-for-word.
Isn't this explained by where many places are in the demographic transition? In most of the developed world, Millennials are fewer in number than Baby Boomers. Generation X is also smaller, and some of the same problems afflict them. Instead of binning people into generations, can't we express this loss of prosperity as a function of the increasing dependency ratio?
"Pursuit of Happiness" might also apply to immigration to the US and in some cases so would the "Life" clause.

>Go give 1k to a homeless guy...he'll still be homeless, and probably dead thanks to what you enabled.

I'm sorry for the double reply, but I really ma horrified.

It's amazing how we live in a country where shelter prices have increased by 50% since 2009 (vs. c.40% for all other items), and yet we still desperately hold onto this idea that homeless people are universally immoral drug addicts.

Beyond that point, we are talking about foster kids here. Everyone immediately jumped to homelessness for whatever reason (they seem to be the social scapegoat du jour).

I think it is completely reasonable for the government to fight inequality by giving people who we know are not receiving any support from their parents a boost in their critical career forming years.

Honestly, $1k/ month could be the difference between going to school part time vs. working full-time. Why does nobody's mind go to this? Why is the assumption that foster kids would never make that choice?
Every possible human action has some cost. By that standard, 'free speech' has never existed and never will.

Which seems a bit silly, most people understand it to mean 'free' above a certain underlying threshold.
In the dzogchen buddhism, there is an excercise that amounts to a voluntary 2-month long solitary confinement in a small room with no light and sounds. The perception of time melts down, hallucinacions occurs, but the trainee is prepared to deal with it, and at the end reaches a clarity of mind that he couldn't have obtained otherwise.

On a related note, the hells (if you believe in such things) are built around the same idea: reduction of freedom. At first the space dimensions are being lost one after another, and the hard offenders appear completely immobilized, but in return they gain an unusual clarity of mind to think about their deeds. If that's not enough, the time dimensions go away: first they turn into small loops of endless repetitions, and then disappear entirely. This final state is known as the Pit.

Hofstadter was an early and lasting influence on me too. The most consistent thing in his writing is a sense of intellectual joy, playfulness, and curiosity. When tools or toys are venues for people to create those experiences he's excited about them, and that was the position of "AI" for most of his career.

He now perceives AI to be a tool that will limit, deny, or replace these feelings & experiences, and so has shifted his relationship to its potential. I'm slightly surprised that he sees AI this way, but not at all surprised this is how he feels about it given that he does. I think it's too early to say if he's right but his feelings are certainly consistent with his views and long history of playful curiosity.

Who told you that?

QA isn't going anywhere... someone is doing testing, and that someone is a tester. They can be an s/w engineer by training, but as long as they are testing they are a tester.

With sysadmins, there are fashion waves, where they keep being called different names like DevOps or SRE. I've not heard of such a thing with testing.
No one's getting fired for showing support to Palestinian civilians.

Some people are losing job offers for showing support to Hamas terrorists.

It's advisable to maintain a separation between those things if you care about the fate of Palestine or civilians. If you conflate Palestinians with Hamas, you are condemning all Palestinians as terrorists. If you support civilians you are naturally against terrorists who use them as human shields.

More generally, I'm a huge proponent for washing and drying hands after coming home, after using the bathroom and before eating, in order to disrupt a wide variety of infectious diseases.

There are some other considerations. Water temperature, water hardness, soap composition, handwashing technique.

The desire/need for focused writing apps has always baffled me, but then again I'm probably not the target audience for such an app. I do some technical writing and some non-technical blogging, and have never felt impeded by just writing in vim or textedit (or anything else that accepts text input).

I'd love to better understand how such apps help people with their writing. I guess I'm kind of skeptical that they actually do help (compared to simply fullscreening any app that you can write in), but since there are so many apps designed for this I accept that they must be helpful to some people. I'd love to hear from people for whom they have helped. (I'm not trying to start a discussion about uselessness. I'd like to hear about _usefulness_. I truly want to understand it better.)

That is basically what we used to do, int 0x80 and such. I mean, I guess you do not read the PC since that is much more brittle than just having the caller say what they want to do, but it is structurally the same.

Turns out, having a dedicated syscall instruction and trap pathway is just better design. Unlike a regular exception, this is a deliberate change of control to the kernel, so you can enforce a much stronger ABI requirement. In particular, you can define it to use a standard function call ABI with respect to preserved and non-preserved registers making it literally look like a standard function call.

For similar reasons, having a dedicated hardware pathway like on x86-64 is also just better design. System calls are a synchronous, voluntary transfer of control that is expected to return in contrast to (1) interrupts which are a asynchronous involuntary transfer of control and (2) instruction stream exceptions which are a synchronous involuntary transfer of control with no guarantee of return. This fundamental distinction can be leveraged for more efficient and simpler implementations.

Question: I thought Clickhouse already has native support for flattening JSON [1], although it was released recently (version 22.3.1). Did you start working on it [2] before that? Or is it a different take? I'm curious about the pros and cons of each one.

Oh, I totally believe it!

I just wanted to explain that although "No computers on NIH grants" is still current practice at most universities, it shouldn't be.
Then let's talk about it.

Unlike lead, we've only recently had the technology to measure and quantify tire wear pollution. For example, we didn't realize until 2020 that 6PPD - already toxic to many aquatic organisms - can oxidize become 6PPD-quinone, which is acutely toxic to coho salmon and some other fish species. This solved a 20 year old mystery of so many coho salmon died after a rain storm.

That's why the California Environmental Protection Agency has passed a rule requiring tire makers to declare an alternative by 2024. https://dtsc.ca.gov/scp/motor_vehicle_tires_containing_6ppd/

That's in addition to the particulate pollution from tire wear. ("Research from Emissions Analytics shows that particulate mass emissions from tire wear is thousands of times greater than those from tailpipes, which have been vastly reduced in recent years by high-efficiency exhaust filters." - https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/16/world/tyre-collective-mic... ).

We of course need to regulate them better because electric cars are heavier, so tire particulate pollution is expected to increase over the next few years.

There's also brake pad pollution, like the EPA's Copper-Free Brake Initiative to remove copper, "mercury, lead, cadmium, asbestiform fibers, and chromium-six salts in motor vehicle brake pads." https://www.epa.gov/npdes/copper-free-brake-initiative . That's a voluntary program, but California and Washington have mandatory requirements.

I trust that you support these efforts to reduce car pollution, and are not simply using the lack of discussion about them in this thread in order to score internet points for implied hypocrisy?

Both tires and brakes have the advantage that they are replaced every few years/decade, so regulations can target manufacturers. An aircraft engine can have decades of life, so any costs of switching away from leaded fuel are felt directly by the owner.

Another stable ABI boundary is anything produced by glibc that can be conceivably placed into memory shared by different unrelated processes (ie. Posix IPC primitives). The requirement for backwards compatibility and architecture variant compatibility (32b/64b…) is the largest reason why things like pthread_mutex have somewhat large overhead and why it is worthwhile to invent various iterations of “futex in userspace”.

The best way to get millions invested is to have other investors go first. This is the guy who played video games during a venture pitch and rambling on about a future Everything App.

The business idea of venture capital is not to follow through with the investment all the way to a mature company with long term profits. It is to offload to later investors. It's hard to fault anyone as long as they go in with their eyes open.

The Banality of Price Fixing
I intentionally didn't draw a causative link between my wife being a would-be immigrant and my being sympathetic. It's supporting evidence, not a causal relation.

It's possible that you're often similarly misreading statements from others as implying causality. It's absolutely faulty logic to say I have relationship X to Y so I can't be Y. However, P(Not against Y | my relationship X to Y) > P(Not against Y) may certainly be valid reasoning.

I certainly can't think of any Y where I'd take a tonights-bar-tab bar bet against the statement that people married to Y are more sympathetic on average toward Y than the average person.

It's preemptive defense against inevitable knee-jerk "you're anti-immigrant" ad hominem attacks. I wish I didn't feel the need to preempt such diversions, but that's the world in which we live.
> It's mean spirited, but the phrase "she's what stupid people think smart people sound like" struck me at the time.

The phrase is a 'poetic' comeback. It's successful in the sense that it's exactly what everyone wishes they could come up with when put on the spot, so it's easy to remember. Like you say, it is unfortunately rather mean spirited, and I say unfortunate because I suspect that it contains truth and usefulness.

My running theory is that the structure of natural language and jargon is encoded such that it carries with it useful information. And this sort of makes sense. The problems we encounter in reality have a certain structure to them. And the natural progression of encoding is to make frequent things short and infrequent things long (thanks information theory). Over time communities shape language and jargon into the structural shape that is most useful to solve the problems they encounter.

Primarily, I've started down this road to try and get my head wrapped around LLMs. Why are they useful at all? And how can something like prompt engineering even exist? The answer being (maybe) language structure sometimes matches problem structure. And prompts from people who "know" how to speak "right" carry additional structure that helps the LLM to provide better results.

However, I think the same can be applied to "what stupid people think smart people sound like". If I'm right then there's a certain sense in which (for extremely well known problems) talking "correctly" helps you to be successful (although all things being equal actually knowing is going to be a better scenario).

And if you abstract this, then there's a benefit to not knowing what the truth is (it frees up your time) but knowing what the sentence structure of "smart" approximately is (it allows you to pick winners to invest in).

So perhaps we can de-meanify the phrase: "She's what non-experts think experts sound like." Or to maybe up the poetry: "Bach and pop use the same notes, but as the children mature so does their taste."
Yeah... I think there is a very fine and blurred line between using AI to augment / enhance something, and to completely replace it. And generative AI, kind of leans more in the later... at least, in the way it is being used now:

Machine Translation is great and can mean the world for minority languages, but now everyone language learning app has to have a chatbot, which, I think, it does replace human conversation when learners say that now they don't need tutors etc.
I did a cursory skim and didn't see any mention of the gut biome. I'm not a medical person but my guess would be ingesting soap would harm the good bacteria.

I asked a similar question to a doctor about inhaling alcohol vapor, if that would kill bronchitis or pneumonia (obviously the answer is NO). I can't remember the specific response, but it's unfortunate because if biology were as simple as computer science: pneumonia/bronchitis is an infection, alcohol kills bugs, ergo breath alcohol vapor to stop infection. I also asked in good faith why an I.V. solution of alcohol wouldn't help with sepsis, and I'm pretty sure the answer is that it _would_ treat sepsis but the concentration would have to be so high that you'd have no liver in the end :(

One sneaky thing Intel did was their Atoms targeting tablets of the same era used the same PowerVR chipset as the iOS devices of the time, which were what everyone had optimised for.

At the level of FTX's operations, I don't think Sam should have been expected to read the TOS at all. That said:

1. A CEO obviously should have a basic understanding of the rules on using customer assets regardless of whether he read the TOS. It's like Sam claiming he didn't know he had to pay taxes since he never read the tax code.

2. More importantly, when issues arise, a non-criminal organization would have called up legal and said "can we do this?", and waited for them to review the TOS, respond with an answer, and follow that. Sam seems to have purposefully avoided oversight, building out a Board, building out legal, sharing information, etc.

i replied as sibling but deleted it. I think the point to remember is the energy industry in Texas is there to make money. If they can make money with renewables then that's what's going to happen. West Texas has a tremendous amount of wind energy and so... now we have wind farms out there. We also have a lot of flat, sunny, unusable land out in West Texas too so you're starting to see solar farms as well. No one is doing it to SaveThePlanet no matter what the pamphlet says, it's profitable in Texas so it's happening in Texas.
Yes, especially with the huge cost of living increases, particularly in college, food, and housing.
> “Django jobs pay less”? Yes, I suppose in comparison to C#/.NET jobs in corporates.

Broadly speaking, corporate jobs offer a higher salary relative to startup jobs.

This is by design. Being engineer #0 at a startup is far less stable (i.e. riskier) than being engineer #65535 at BigCorp. The salary is somewhat lower because the company simply doesn't have the cashflow to pay more. Startups have one thing to offer employees to offset that lack of stability and lower salary: equity.

The vast majority of the time, that equity ends up being worthless. Every once in a while, it becomes worth a life-changing amount of money. It's not fair to say that Django jobs pay less. Those types of jobs are an opportunity to trade a portion of your earning potential for a few years for a chance at a much larger prize.

I don't have numbers in front of me to be able to prove it, but I'm of the opinion that when you include this in your calculations, the expected value of your labor is higher working for startups than at large, established companies. While the chance of any given startup succeeding is relatively low, it's not unreasonable to think you'll be able to join up to a dozen or so over the course of your career. The chance of _one_ of those having a successful exit is high enough that I've staked a big part of my financial future on it happening.
