A nice little Quality Of Life improvement for me with uBlock Origin recently has been using it top block Confluence's pop ups when someone has commented on a page I'm reading.

We use Confluence to do document reviews at work, and sitting there attempting to read a document while Confluence is popping up that annoying dialogue box over and over again as people comment on the doc is insanely annoying. With uBlock Origin I was able to (after a few false attempts) sniff the specific element and filter it out.
Government expenditure is a very different metric as that's just what the state spends, not how it generates its income. Which in theory could be almost entirely by the private sector. Here's the US state department quoting the relevant reports (https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-investment-climate-statem...)

"The public sector accounts for nearly 66 percent of GDP. The Norwegian government is the largest owner in Norway, with ownership stakes in a range of key sectors (e.g., energy, transportation, finance, and communications)"[...]
I consider the lack of ability to scrub through video to be an accessibility problem.

Controlling speed helps but as you say, sometimes you just need to "repeat that bit" and not wait for a whole minute to roll around where you might forget to catch what you're looking for. Or God forbid you do something like open comments and the video restarts.

I haven't pursued downloads yet but started looking for plugins, haven't tried any yet though. Installing plugins in a frustrated mindset didn't seem ideal.
It is misleading people because people see the graph and compare it to the graph of rising obesity levels and infer (incorrectly) that if sugar is falling and obesity is rising then it is not sugar that is responsible for obesity.

The truth is that obesity is more complex problem but sugar definitely one of the important drivers.

One way obesity is a complex problem is that in most people it is delayed by decades. Our bodies can take a lot of punishment for a long time before they become disregulated enough to start gaining weight.
Note that some artificial sweeteners produce an insulin response like sugar - which leads to calories converted to fat.

Also, I wonder about fiber and other carbohydrates. Fiber moderates carbohydrates of all types and prevents glucose spikes (and crashes). and other processed carbs/starches can be very similar to simple sugars - breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereals, etc.
I'm not implying it is an impossibility but training it on data about itself is distinct from the rest of its training and a pretty narrow use case

Phrase embeddings could bring a 32x reduction in sequence length because:

> Text Embeddings Reveal (Almost) As Much As Text. ... We find that although a naïve model conditioned on the embedding performs poorly, a multi step method that iteratively corrects and re embeds text is able to recover 92% of 32-token text inputs exactly. We train our model to decode text embeddings from two state of the art embedding models, and also show that our model can recover important personal information (full names) from a dataset of clinical notes.

I think the commenter you’re responding to is pointing out that there should be options for rare exceptions, but for most other people, they’re not committing fraud by marking one option or another, because they can simply change that answer tomorrow. I feel like a boy today, so I marked it on my passport. I am a girl tomorrow, so I change my answer.

> There's a very good reason why sugar is so "addictive"

Sugar on its own isn't addictive and isn't a necessary nor sufficient ingredient for hyperpalatability. Foods can be hyperpalatable without sugar, and in fact most (~70%) hyperpalatable foods have their hyperpalatability driven by fat and sodium:

> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9672140/

> The availability of HPF in the US food sysltem has expanded substantially over the past 30 years. The current US food supply is highly saturated with HPF, which our findings indicate comprised almost 70 % of available foods as of 2018. The growing availability of HPF over time, particularly HPF high in fat and Na, may have resulted from the reformulation of existing food products in the food system to be hyper-palatable. Thus, expanding HPF availability may be one key contributor to the obesogenic food environment in the US. Given potential consequences for population health, policy-level action is needed to address the presence of HPF in the food system. Policy may focus on limiting the nutrient thresholds allowed in foods to be below HPF thresholds (e.g. foods should contain <25 % kcal from fat and <0·30 % g from Na).
How is it misleading? it's simply showing that people aren't eating more sugar. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you want to add that to an article about how "100 pounds of sugar a year with half the activity because people people are playing xbox too much" that's fine - this could be a part of that conversation.

Nothing wrong with the bigger conversations... but also nothing wrong with data points like this for the sake of data points.

In this particular sense, it's 100% "people"'s fault. This graph just doesn't say it. It really doesn't. If people misreading something makes it misleading, I really wonder if there is any graph that isn't misleading ever.
Social network. See : twitter
Raw statistics like this without additional context are practically meaningless.
I think this is an example of proportionality bias. There's a cognitive bias that big effects (obesity, cancer, diabetes, etc) must have big and complex causes.

In reality, sugar is just straight-up bad in anything resembling the quantities we eat it, and we should not. It's addictive because there's very little of it in nature and it's high energy density. Therefore it makes sense to seek out. In our synthetic world, we can make as much as we want and eat it whenever we want.

The reward system exhibits unconstrained positive feedback.

As a counter-example there are tons of things that 'feel good' but are destructive, like opioids and cigarettes. Things that are addictive aren't de facto good for you. In fact they're usually very bad for you because they overload your reward feedback network.

CDDL is copyleft but not viral, which makes it much easier (read: politically possible) to include in a permissively licensed project than anything under a viral copyleft license like GPL.
This is the typical lazy answer, but there's a problem here: We haven't been talking about the article itself since half of the thread though, so I don't know what you're referring to.

To get back to the topic, there are no reason why there couldn't be a good error message (there's no “two options” when you write your error messages) and if the error message is good enough so you don't have to Google it, you can and should localize it so the majority of the people of this planet could in fact read it. And you also want to put a error code available in case you still wanted to investigate about it, but there's little reason for this error code to be 32bits long unless you have 4 billion different possible errors in your app…

They are truly incredible, beautiful human beings, who believe in a positive vision of what humans are capable of; that we can rise above superstition and the insanity of uncritical thought.

IIRC, Penn once said that a long time ago, they would perform seances, while fully informing the audiences that nothing they're doing is supernatural and there's no actual spirits being summoned; just that they're using the same techniques that con-men mediums use. No matter what they prefaced their performances with, or assured after the performance, many members of the audience didn't believe that these weren't supernatural events, and would believe that they actually communicated with spirits. For that reason, Penn said, they stopped doing them permanently.

I’ll add my anecdote. One of my relatives homeschools their two children. They are part of a commonwealth(?), and follow the Thomas Jefferson method which I think is kind of popular? One of their children who is 8 cannot read. The other is 6 and is far behind in all disciplines. My relative loves their children and wants the best for them, but is failing. Won’t send their kids to school for religious reasons. I’d like to know the chances of a single adult being a good teacher vs. at least one of multiple trained adults being a good teacher. I’d also like to see the downside of lack of socialization.

Same. But IMHO Google would be fine with this. They aren't in the business of giving out CPU time and bandwidth for free – your data must be catalogued and correlated and sold to keep YouTube viable.

What do they gain from the 5-10% of users consuming videos but offering no salable data in return? It's a direct hit to the bottom line from a minority who would rather stop using the service than be converted to impressions. Good riddance
Your comment has helped me immensely... I have some degree of lactose sensitivity (can eat cheese and ice cream but cant drink milk), and when I have optimistically tried lactose free milk in the past it has upset my stomach just the same as the normal milk would.

But, body weight increase is going to correspond to the "area under the graph" (the integral) and NOT the current level (the instantaneous value).

Yes, it's nice that we're getting sugar consumption back down to 1970 levels so we don't keep adding more obese people to the cohort, but that doesn't help everybody who gained weight prior to 2020.

From 1995 to 2005, people ate roughly an extra 10 pounds relative to 1970 of bodyweight in sugar every single year. That's an extra 100 pounds in bodyweight over 10 years if you don't adjust something else. That's huge. Literally.
Is this trend vastly affected by the rise of artificial sweeteners like aspartame?
> the average American now consumes about as much added sugar as the average American did in 1970--yet their waistlines are not remotely comparable.

But people don't become obese overnight. People ate much more sugar in 2000-2010, and those people, if not dead now, are still contributing to the obese rate today.

Also this graph shows people are still eating more sugar in 2021 than in 1970. Just not as much as in 2000.

No one says sugar is the only reason causing obesity. But this graph doesn't debunk the correlation between sugar and obsesity either.

> Also, if Facebook's users were all paying for it (and all its competitors), there would be no advertising on it,

Ah yes, much like how cable TV has no ads on it, right? Or newspapers. Or how Microsoft Windows has no ads on it because you paid for the OS? Or like how smart TVs aren't spying on you because you bought them…

If there's money to be made by spying and putting ads, it will be done, no matter if you pay for it or not.

And that's the reason why it is probably illegal: if you accept the cookies, they track you, if you refuse cookies and pay, you have to agree to their terms and conditions which allow them to track you as well. Head they win, tail you lose.

So if a starship needs to rendezvous with the cycler to transfer passengers/cargo, it could simply be added to the cycler, at least during an initial cycler buildup phase. Linking starships shoulder to shoulder in a ring with noses pointing into the center and engines facing outward might be useful. Spin it up to give whatever gravity is desired in the same direction as an upright starship on earth. Linking corridors extruded from the starships could be used to convert the collection of ships into one station. A special purpose hub starship that provides an attachment framework and becomes the hub of the ring would allow firing its engine(s) to change the station velocity.

Vaxee for computer mice. After being impressed with their lineup, I bought an XE for a friend. His cat has eaten the cable twice, and they sent him fresh ones when he contacted them to see if he could buy more. They also sent me a mouse pad as a thank you for Christmas one year. Extremely friendly and warm every time.

Is there any such podcast about history as well? That covers what happened so far since the beginning of time or whatever we know of.
Yeah, I always get a bit amused when people point to one sole food or environmental issue ("microplastics!" says one comment) to blame for the obesity epidemic, when there are two glaringly obvious pieces of data:

1. As another commenter posted, total calories consumed per capita has gone up considerably since 1970.

2. As you posted, we move a lot less than we used to. There are tons of studies that confirm this across a number of different metrics (e.g. average grip strength has gone down considerably since the 80s, https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/06/13/4815909... ).

We eat a lot more, of more foods that have higher calorie-to-nutrient ratios than we used to, and we move a heck of a lot less.
Maybe that is just the American baseline? Plenty of people enjoy cakes, cookies, doughnuts, brownies, etc that will be made with real sugar either at bakeries or at home. 60pounds/year is ~2.6oz/day (74g/day) which sounds pretty achievable given a once or twice a week snacking habit.
that is not what ads are.

Ads are surveillance of you to find out your age, income, sex, address, phone, behavioral characteristics, etc.

Those characteristics are then sold to advertisers who bid to present ads to you.

In other words, if you like lego, you will not see lego ads.

Instead you will see water filter ads because they won the bid to serve someone with your characteristics, income, etc the advertisement.

It's just going to push the smart people with self respect to other platforms. YouTube will then cater to the captive ad tolerant audience that's left and the quality of the whole platform will degrade. More people will leave, the quality will drop, the number of ads will go up, etc. This will reduce the quality of video on YouTube until what you basically have now on reddit: a hot trash fire.

And frankly that is as it should be. The OS has enough responsibility trying to arbitrate the collection of hardware resources while providing its own set of abstractions (filesystems, processes, etc) to the application layers.

These computers are no longer simple cores with simple devices. If you want that go buy a DOS machine from the 1980's, or a arm7TDMI.

The problem though is that companies invest in all this firmware, and become convinced that DIMM training, signal integrity/phy training, and algorithms which estimate the cooling capacity and thermal mass of the attached heatsink, or any of a hundred other things are somehow competitive advantages and deserve to be locked up behind closed doors rather than opensource. In some cases they are right, but that shouldn't keep them from publishing reference firmware sources and register documentation.

So, really people complaining about proprietary firmware are sorta missing the point. Complain about the lack of documentation to create your own firmware, not that the company thinks they have a competitive advantage in that firmware.

And also admit that what one needs is hardware/firmware abstractions that allow big kernels like linux to communicate with all the little cores in the machine working on specific tasks, be that NVMe for disks, AT command sets for modems, or ACPI for power management.
