This is interesting. I still have a couple of questions though:

- PLA degrades very, very poorly in landfills [0], which leads me to think that if you were to dig boreholes and dump PLA inside it, wouldn't it effectively sequester the CO2 w/o releasing much/any CH4?

- PLA (as far as I know) is produced from glucose derived from e.g. corn. In theory this is a process which sequester CO2 from the air and puts it into solid blocks. No fossil fuels or fossil fuel extraction required.

So I guess my question is, what's the catch? I suppose agriculture has its own CO2 footprint, but I feel we've gotten pretty efficient at making glucose.

I always wonder this. I think many people actually believe the bullshit because they aren't intellectually curious and have spent no time exploring how other organizations might work. This becomes a problem for software engineering because they have nothing to draw on other than their past work. If they haven't worked anywhere other than your current employer, and your currently employer is a dumpster fire, they are going to continue to repeat bad patterns.

Want to share my reply to a comment reply here that was deleted, which called this “crazy”:

It’s not crazy. It’s a very effective way of balancing the power dynamics between corporations and workers. What’s crazy is not having these rights enshrined in law. Why should the government tell workers how they can or cannot strike?

This way of doing it gets you one thing that some Americans dream of: no federal mandated universal minimum wage. I mean think about it… a universal federal minimum wage is a ridiculous idea. It’s never going to be a good level for all industries.

But if you’re going to make minimum wage something that workers and corporations can just settle between themselves, you have to give the workers real power. Not make national laws that give corporations the right to make contracts that make their workers slaves to their employers.

Some American think this is socialism. I’d argue that it’s just good capitalism that ensures healthy (labour) market dynamics. Same as how you want regulations that discourage the formation of monopolies.
This is absolutely it for me. I could upgrade my personal Pixel 5, but for the ~$1000 layout I'd be getting a device whose fingerprint sensor works maybe 20% of the time vs 98% currently. There's absolutely nothing compelling to me about a newer Pixel - it's only downside.

I think it's important that we all identify these issues so that, when we have the power to enact change, that we do so. Eventually Millennials will be in the driver seat. Same as the Baby Boomers and eventually Generation Z after us.

Just because there is no hope now, doesn't mean an opportunity won't eventually fall into our laps. There is already a lot of change underway in our cities to address these issues because they MUST address them to survive. It will happen, hopefully in time for our children to experience a better society than we did.
language question:

"doing us a solid" : idiom?

if so, how does that make sense or what does it refer to?
That doesn't strike me as "well actually". The title says "more effective than calorie restriction". If it's a form of calorie restriction, then the title doesn't make sense: "Form A of calorie restriction is more effective than calorie restriction".

I think a clearer title would be something to the effect of "Intermittent fasting more effective than calorie counting for calorie restriction"

Also worth pointing out that the study was specific to T2 diabetes.

>> PS. If you want to lose weight, you want your energy expenditure to be as high as possible ;)

How do you deal with the hunger resulting from high energy expenditure. I find myself famished after a tough workout (interval training / strength training).

I realize there are other benefits to interval training / strength training (e.g., endurance, toning, increasing mass), but I wonder if it runs counter to weight loss given how much hunger it induces.

A decent subthread on this on the EA Forum: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/xof7iFB3uh8Kc53bG/...

The money came from a grant from OpenPhil for the purpose. EVF didn't publish a cost-benefit analysis my knowledge, but a back-of-the-envelope calculation [https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/xof7iFB3uh8Kc53bG/...] suggests it would plausibly cost £1~2M a year to hire similar venues. That said, whether it's worth it to purchase a dedicated venue depends a lot on how much use the venue actually gets.

Ultimately, "we were getting ripped off" is a financial judgement made by CEA. I don't think it really has a great deal to do with the wider effective altruist movement tbh.
Except it’s not necessarily. As a software developer, you have the privilege to not really care about money if you don’t want to. I didn’t have money problem, ever. Without even trying. I can fly three times between Europe and America, and about 20 more times inside the continent in a year, and I can still put about third of my salary to saving. And I live in a country now where software developers are heavily underpaid: Austria. Most of my friends in other fields can’t even imagine my life - their exact words.

This is distorted thinking at best:

> "This may be a shock for some new folks, but it makes perfect sense. As a software engineer, your primary task is to generate value for users. Writing code is just a step that accomplishes that goal."

No other engineering discipline thinks this way. An aviation engineer's primary concerns are that the thing they're building is (1) safe and (2) efficient. Whether or not that product is profitable will depend on marketing and competition at a whole other level. It's NOT the engineer's primary concern. This is also true for electrical, chemical, civil, etc. engineering.

If there are a lot of software engineers that think this way, all that means is that the discipline is still in its infancy and hasn't adopted the kind of engineering standards that others have had to over time. Maybe the kinds of standards and regulations applied to sellers of electrical devices should be applied to every company that sells software?
Yet more shit I do not want inflating the price of a service I can barely justify as it is.
What I'm describing is, literally, just what has happened with Luna and a lot of other yield-farming centric tokens that pay these outlandish "interest rates". Those "interest" payments are being extracted from future losses.

By the way, the point defi enthusiasts make about how that's just the same way interest in the "legacy" financial system works already is also true. The only difference is that the existing financial system takes its current interest payments out of future growth in real resources and productivity. And this is why double digit interest rates are extremely rare; because that rate of real growth is difficult or impossible to sustain for long.

But thus far, defi remains a closed purely financial loop, without creating any real non-financial growth, so it's all zero sum, just pitting current speculators against future ones.
Well, with the current interest rates, it's a good way to get screwed.
If the problem seems vague, then the solution is not for you.

The concept of a "mom test" is condescending as well. Many moms code.

To be fair, any substantial calorie restriction TRE or not means you will lose some muscle/lean mass. I’m not sure table 2 shows evidence that TRE is more detrimental to lean mass than CR given that the TRE group had fewer calories on average than the CR group.
He's claiming that the vaccines weren't tested on whether they reduced transmission or not, but that we were told they would be super effective at reducing transmission (since the bureaucrats' only concern was to get as many people jabbed as possible, so they snake oil sold the vaccines as far more effective than they were).

He's not claiming that the vaccines don't reduce transmission at all, as best as I can tell.
Honestly sounds like the author has only worked at toxic places. I can't relate to half his points.

Software development certainly is a dream job for me.
As things are, missing packages are not really a police matter for the recipient. Recipients don't actually know that a package was stolen, since it never made it into their possession. Amazon could certainly file police reports, but that requires a higher bar of evidence than throw-and-go delivery service provides, and either way it Doesn't Scale (TM).

I'd guess it's more likely the opposite dynamic, where they'll get a bunch of early adopter types to sign up without thinking through the ramifications. And then after the honeymoon period, Amazon will start demanding those users file police reports for missing packages since from their system it now looks much more airtight that the package must have been stolen from the buyer.

> In my experience no coding standards or cleanliness can prevent this. The only sure way is testing on commit/PR.

I think that's an issue with how people define "clean." It isn't just about surface aesthetics. Think of a cooking appliance that looks "clean" in its design, that might win a designy design award, but accumulates gunk in hard-to-reach crevices because it was only designed to look clean, not designed to be kept actually clean.

> From my understanding that means that now Rust can be used for the development of security critical software in automotive.

It has always been possible to do whatever you wanted in this respect, Ferrocene means that you don't have to go to more trouble than a competitor who does their software development in a similarly qualified C++ software suite.

Rather than pay some number of people to explain why it's OK that you didn't do the boring normal thing, you can pay Ferrocene for their paperwork which says actually Rust is just one of the boring normal things.

Is "Boring normal thing" good enough? Well, on its own I'd argue it's not even close, but pragmatism rules the day, people writing firmware which is in pretty old cars were knocking it together in C with no rules, and most people didn't die, so, that's our baseline, that was apparently OK, logically a bit of that won't be a disaster... right?

It reminds me of GRAS rules. On the one hand, there's no particular reason to just assume parsnips are OK food while this random thing my chemists just invented is not - after all parsnips may be "natural" but so are all nightshades and some of them are straight up poison (and indeed the rest of Apiaceae, the family parsnips are in, are sometimes poisonous) - however on the other hand a lot of people have eaten parsnips already and they seemed fine, so, maybe that's enough reason to require tests for my chemical but not parsnips ? Or at least, lets not require the tests before continuing to eat parsnips.
To hell with your "nudges". It It's a cutesy way of saying "flex of State power", and everyone effing knows it.

No. It's not appropriate.
When I first started playing Go, I realized I thought about it like Risk. I was trying to draw Napoleonic battle lines on the board, and push back the opponent. And it kinda worked for very entry-level games, but mostly didn't make sense? Because then the opponent would just place somewhere behind my "line" and it all fell apart.

Over time, I started imagining each of the spots on the board as being a person in a city. And placing a stone, really, was like bringing the AOE II priest to "wololo" convert the person to my team. So really, the goal wasn't to create battle lines, the goal was to pick and choose who on the board to join my team, so that by the end of the game, I would have the most influence in the city. (I've heard others describe it as planting plants to grow over the majority of a garden, which is similar) At that point, I started choosing spaces around the board in order to make sure I had enough friends in each neighborhood that I would be the most popular person there, even once my opponent started advertising in the region too.

That begs the obvious question, are there different neighborhoods that are more important than others? And the answer is yes. As you learn about eye shapes, you'll realize its easier to be popular and own in a corner than it is a side, and a side than it is the center, so when you start the game, you prioritize being popular in these regions, in that order (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqpqa5NCbMY&t=52s)

And then over time, I've learned how to do that more and more efficiently, and the tradeoffs that come from that.

It also helps to start on smaller boards, then move to bigger ones as you get a feel for what's going on : )

Can you explain how they differ?
I thought the idea of CSAM was more about matching an image to a list of fingerprints/perceptual hashes of known cp, locally on a device. Then that match is sent to Apple/Google/etc. and then they will notify the local authorities that you're a pedo. I also was under the impression that Apple already did that (at one point at least).
British houses have a worldwide reputation of bad insulation. They live in a mild climate where you don't need to heat the entire house to ensure the pipes don't freeze, and don't really need much AC to be livable in the summer. As such it is really common for people who live there to only heat the room they are in.
I like the idea of BAT but I just don't fully trust it.
This may well be true according to the legal definition, though a system that matches against a fixed list of hashes, perceptual or otherwise, rather than working on magical AI, would not catch those. However, if this is all that the measure would be effective against then this is rather at odds with the proponents' narrative which makes this out to be about pictures produced and shared by adults with criminal intent.

In Germany it is quite common for individual agreements to e.g. increase working hours from 35 to 37.5, 38 or 40 hours without a pay adjustment. Those individual agreements are still negotiated, most of the time, between an employer and company/employee union reps.

"High throughput" seems like an odd problem to have. You don't have to throw away pages and allocate new ones all the time. You can reuse a page.
I wish people would understand this better. "Clean code" doesn't exist. You should define (and automate) quality gates for your code base as a regular team excercise. I've seen enough teams not even having a common agreement on what a code review is and then trying to do them. When regularly wondering on a code review if change X meets the subjective taste of reviewer Y or even getting into fights you know somewhere something went wrong in team culture.
That study needs to update its terminology. They call it “feeding” on the podcast circuit now, not “eating.”
Ah, yeah, I think it's fair enough to leave them out; they're very much special cases.
At that time, that was a decent analogy. Linux was great fun but it also liked to bite your hand and chew your shoes.

And then it grew up into a smart, eager adult.
You're taking me too literally. Of course we had assembly, etc.

The kind of development we were working on was safety-critical real-time systems. So assembly is too low level, too risky, you want something more structured. But nothing academic, or insanely expensive. BASIC just isn't up for the task? How do you even write an ISR in BASIC anyways? We had to read two sensors and process a bunch of math every 500 usec, which was like 500 cycles. Every cycle count.

C was for sure the best choice that fit the bill. Plus, everyone knew it. Many times you didn't even get a fully ansi compliant compiler (try writing C on a PIC micro without a software stack).

So, for a while, C ruled in places that mattered. Low cost, performant, and people knew the language.

Also, the compilers we used were purchased from small software vendors, and delivered by mail on floppy discs (this is before the internet took off). Like $3000 for the compiler, a big investment for a small company in 1995. This was back before semiconductor companies had low cost dev tools with free IDEs.

The tools we had were state of the art, expensive, and powerful for their time. We grew to love them, and learned how to work with them better.
Agreed. Somethings I accept I will never mentally memorize nor muscle memory memorize. JQ is one of them. So this is a great reference.

I will never truly memorize how to use this because it's not my primary goal, nor is it the end product to process data.

Rather, it is a means to a means to a means to an end.
They also have vastly lower maintenance and repair costs. Real analyses of this stuff has been done and EVs win every time.
Since 2019 I've done an upgrade every 2 years, and even that is becoming hard to justify. Not from a financial perspective, but from a technology/innovation perspective. Recently I upgraded from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The day to day difference is almost indistinguishable. Dynamic Island is cool I guess and USB-C is great. But for 99% of my day to day use, the 13 would have worked just fine.
> A stressed out underpaid and overworked delivery driver is the last person I want in my garage. Verified deliveries are left at the wrong house

It doesn't work like this. Delivery workers use an app that opens the door, so if they are at a wrong location, it will be immediately apparent.
That doesn't mean that the contrarian tries to silence those he disagrees with.
I have an iPhone 11. I've had it for a while. I have no need to upgrade. Every feature I want in a phone, I have in my current phone.

I miss the days of old, when phone lifecycles were similar to video game consoles - a new model was released every 3-4 years, with a massive leap in technological power. Even if you factor in Moore's law, there's little reason to release a new slew of phones every year, especially since the differences under the hood seem to be less and less significant.

Rather than giving everyone a significant reason to switch every few years, the industry seems to think that releasing new models with incremental differences every 9-14 months is the best way forward. It's dumb IMO.

What's also dumb is Apple switching form factors every few years, going from curved edges to hard edges and back again, yet calling each switch "innovative" or whatever bullshit their marketing team comes up with.
Living in a poorly built flat is a bad experience, sure, but there are well built flats out there, where you can only hear your neighbors if they're actually being loud--really not that big a problem.
For what it's worth my experience has been the opposite. I bought one of their multiple tool bags back in the mid-00s and I'm still using all the original tools as well as a few more I've purchased since. The original NiMH batteries are all toast, but the tools run better on the new lithium batteries than they ever did on the NiMHs. I have about 8 years on my first set of lithium batteries and those are still going strong too.

When I bought my house I was planning to get in to Ryobi's yard tool ecosystem since my experience with their 18v tools had been so good, but the garage door opener experience was enough to give me a push to eGo.
