Newton law once explained everything human observation could see. It was perfect then and still is perfect today for subliminal speed. String theory never succeeded to explain any observation whatsoever. So this looks like an unfair comparison to me. Unfair for Newton.

I'm training to become a nutritionist and I've worked with an elderly woman(83 years old) for about 8 weeks. I don't have a background in medicine, but I've suffered ptst and depression my whole life and reddit and hackernews has always helped me to make small improvements.

symptoms: water in the knee, weak legs and arms, week skin with red spots, ptsd/depression, takes calcium and vitamin D for the arthritis.
Also has polyneuropathy in the feet and takes something for that - imo it's sugar related. She doesn't get treated for diabetes.

She'd show up every day at the bakery and eat bread and cake, drink multiple cups of coffee with 3-4 cubes of sugar

Things I recommended:
- Protein shake for breakfast: Most elderly don't meet their daily protein needs (about 1.6g/Kg of body weight), to help the weakness

- cut out sugar and white meal, to see if it helps with the inflamed knee and the polyneuropathy

- eat pork-belly every day, to balance the calories, also to use the vitamin D u need cholesterol and magnesium

- take gelatine, to help with joints and to give the calcium something to hold onto

- magnesium citrate, to help with the cholesterol and the vitamin D

- I also recommended she'd start yoga for mobility in the legs - but she pushes back on it.
- I'd talk to her every day for 2-3 hours to help her understand her ptsd better, I'm not certified, but I suffer from my own ptsd and I've had therapy and I read a lot, so I told her what I knew and also advised her to seek professional help, which she also refuses.

2 weeks in her mobility and mood has improved

6 weeks in her mood has stabilized, and she can walk better

8 weeks in, the knee swelling has gone back, the skin has stronger texture now.

hope it helps someone out there

While I personally really enjoy jokes I agree that they can add a lot of noise in online communities. I'd love to find a bunch of other "serious only" communities for other topics I enjoy, I'd then read the no-jokes ones during breakfast and the joke-filled ones in the evening. But it seems quite unlikely, unless I build an extension that filters content based on sentiment analysis or something similar.

Yeah. But it goes beyond that. Even in the science, even thinking of not economically viable energy gain but just net energy gain within the reaction, it's kind of not a real immensely useful result. The "net energy gain" being talked about is technically a breakthrough result we've been expecting for the last half-century. If obtained on a small scale within a continuous reactor it could signal the beginning of true sustaining thermonuclear fusion. However, the result here is not in a continuous (or long-pulse) reactor like a tokamak or stellarator – it is instead in a miniature nuclear bomb in a military researcwhile doing it. h facility focused on nuclear weapons development. We have demonstrated this kind of positive fusion gain on a large scale before, and blown several craters in various indigenous lands while doing it. In fact, the exact same components that exist in the NIF targets exist within nuclear weapons – we just replace the the source of the energy the hohlraum reflects with a bank of lasers. In nuclear devices, it's another nuclear bomb instead. That it works on a smaller scale is not exactly surprising, nor is it useful.

Since it is decentralized, you would need to attack every single entity (business etc.) separately. Since the transaction is not saved, you would also need to attack during the identification process.

Priorities. The team is too focused on global maxima, speed and reinventing compiler design at the cost of a reference implementation that's fundamentally broken, and too complex to fix.

This results in miscompilations, broken buildins, features added that are then ripped out again.

I think fast iterations and experimental stuff are ok if you have a stable core.
I.e. I don't mind if zig decides to change its for loop syntax after 5 years, so long as there is a simpler stable construct like `loop { break; }` that people that use the language in production and library maintainers can use.

You need a certain critical mass for a language to be self sustaining, and that requires people to actually use your stuff, which in turn requires at least some stability guarantees for some subset of the language.

Zig's response to that is "I'm just my inventors toy yet, but it will be grand when version 1.0 hits in 10-50 years."

The fact that they now want to replace LLVM with their own backend makes me think that even 50 years would be optimistic.
Since the early 90's but in C++ through TMP and class template specializations. If you don't have many specializations, and those are sharing most of the code, you can simplify writing this code through if-constexpr since C++17.

But soon after you will realize that you need to do some operations with those tensors such as A + B + C. To compute this expression compiler will first need to compute (A + B) sub-expression and store the result into the temporary tensor. Only then it will be able to use this temporary result to compute the final expression by adding the C tensor. When you have a lot of such expressions to compute, and expressions are arbitrarily complex, you will want to avoid inefficiencies caused by creating many temporaries - there's an attached cost to them both in memory and in compute. And sometimes you will be able to fuse multiple operations into a single one.

This is a problem that can be solved with lazy evaluation and in C++ this can be done in compile-time through expression templates. And this is what basically all linear algebra C++ libraries are famous of doing.
Yeah, but with binary packages you can add another lay of defense in depth, signed packages, signature checking, etc. It's not just about the original authors themselves, it can also be about attacks on the public repositories, for example.

Giving a partner something of actual value is one thing, but diamonds aren’t worth what you’re paying. That purchase needs to support an entire industry and massive marketing campaign around maintaining an artificial tradition.

Isn't it "bring your friends"? I could be wrong (the last time this song played on the radio was in the 90s sometime).
Microphone on mine was pretty bad, without exaggerating. The procedure for updating the BIOS was the worst I’ve ever seen. Maybe if you run TuxedoOS it can be done in a better way. I once left it at full charge on the shelf for a month (possibly two) and the battery inflated. Admittedly not a smart move by me, but still. Support is excellent, though, and I got a free replacement battery. If you can get a Dell with Linux I’d say that was a smoother experience for sure. That said, I don’t want to be all negative: It’s nice to buy a laptop and 100% know that all the hardware works with Linux. That’s worth a lot to me.

The free market absolutist response to these events is typically that market forces from consumer preference will drive down leaded turmeric sales, and “who’s to stop me from consuming lead if I want to.”

The core issue I have with free market absolutist arguments is their reliance on perfect information across parties and perfectly rational actors. Those constraints make any system of governance viable, and in my view, are a defining feature of extremist ideologies.
I don't think that's news to the author, but even on those terms it's not a great purchase to "parade" if its visually indistinguishable from something with a fraction of the price.
One argument for a statute of limitations is fading human memory, but I don't see how that's the case here, from the article:

> "Discarded TV film was secretly salvaged from bins and skips by staff and contractors who worked at the BBC between 1967 and 1978, when the corporation had a policy of throwing out old reels. [...] “The collectors involved are ex-employees and so are terrified. The rule was that you didn’t take anything, even if it had been thrown out."

I think making this an offense is insane, but I don't see how these cases are any more ambiguous than if the same happened yesterday.

The question is whether the owner of property has a right to order its destruction, and whether an employee (or equivalent) is stealing or legitimately salvaging if they "rescue" said property from the trash.
Yeah, it's not brainwashing. That's hilarious if people think any marketing company would go to the effort to brainwash people, if such a thing is even possible.

Marketing companies leverage what is already there. Car companies didn't brainwash men into wanting "rugged", "angry" looking "trucks". They merely recognised the slightly pathetic tendency for some men to want to make themselves look bigger and tougher.

It's the same with diamonds. They work because there is some underlying seed of possibility and they have simply been the best at exploiting that.

I watched the video, and have been interested in this space as an amateur for a while. It's not worth the hour, would be great in a focused 10 min vid.

The crux of the video is that string theory isn't really a theory since it's untestable, and that string physicists/authors have overrepresented its utility for decades. She goes through a brief history, and the broken promises (each decade: a new revolution from string theory is just a decade away).

But the arguments around the public erosion of trust in physics involve a few cherry-picked examples that and ignore the wider context around academic research and issues communicating science to the public, especially scientific sensationalism from media outlets (eg God Particle). She argues that the string theorists have played into this and should have been more media savvy in the past, but is relatively unscathing of other non-string theory physicists.

It just gets ranty at the end, "the string theorists lied to us for 30 years" gets repeated a lot.
Before diamonds were the go-to for engagement rings, color stones like ruby, sapphire, and emerald were the thing. So why should it be mossianite and not going back to other gem stones?

In the fusion case though, hype has been raised to the point of being outright false or even fraudulent. It’s not just a question of “describing something complicated”.

It’s very easy to tell people that the latest experiment only produced 1% of the power that was put into it. Instead, they were told that the “net energy gain” was positive, and that this was a major breakthrough that brings viable commercial fusion power significantly closer.

I suppose, when you have experiments costing tens of billions of dollars being funded by the public, that this kind of corruption of the truth is inevitable. But that quite understandably undermines public trust in science communication.
Aer Lingus would be unchanged, unless they also added a case to handle that.

I run a bug bounty program and I don't mind report for small issues. It's true that most report from "beg bounty" hunters are noise, but we've acted on some reports a few time. One time, in particular, a researcher broke something which alerted us to a serious issue, while not understanding themselves what they had found, we still paid a fair bounty on the finding since we would not have found the issue without the action of the researcher.

It also helps that we have very clear rules and defined scope: we've put out of scope the usual suspects and researchers rarely argue when we point out they should have read the rules better before submitting.

Regarding bounties, my yardstick rule is that if a report made us reconsider our practices and change something on our side, then it's worth a bounty, even small. If not, then no bounty far ya, simple as that.

Also, I don't remember getting a disclosure report where they would ask for money before disclosing the vulnerability, I don't think it's that common. Still, this would go straight to the spam folder.
Wait till you hear that car purchases are largely emotional and 99% of what we say about those decisions are post-facto rationalizations.
I hate this type of argument; it is very often nonsense. Sure, someone is not good because of its tools, but those enable him to be good it is not an either/or relation.
A lot of the time, some skills are indissociable from the necessary tooling, and it does not matter how good you are if you do not get the tool to enable it.

I had this argument with a friend about darts. I recently started playing with him and he has a lot more experience than I do, thus he is quite a bit better than me no matter what darts we use. But after we broke some darts, I decided to look at what the pro uses and buy something similar. He said the same thing about skills not requiring a particular dart.
Yet since we have had the new darts, we are both more consistent in our shots and hit the targets way more often, the consistency is extremely obvious considering how grouped the darts land compared to cheaper one.
I did not become magically better than he is, he still wins more often than I do. However, with those darts I improved a lot more than he did and if the end goal is proficiency, it seems logical to use as close the "end game" tooling as is reasonable for training.

Sometimes people feel like others are trying to minimize their achievements, but this is not about that at all. The tools are a major part of the road to expertise and anyone pretending otherwise is lying and I would be very suspicious. It reads like: "yeah I achieved my skill with this high level, performant tool, but just use this much worse one, it will be fine." I feel like it is disingenuous and most of the time, people trying to prevent new competitions in their fields.

And this is exactly why Apple's marketing is extremely deceptive at best. Sure, if you are an accomplished videographer and understand all the limitations coming from working with such a tool, you will work around/with those limitations, because you already know. But if you are starting out or still an amateur the iPhone is a poor choice as it will make your work harder than it would be with a more specialized camera (that can be had for cheaper than a brand-new iPhone, that most people do not need...).
That depends where the data and the logic all. If they only store the data, but I’m doing all the computation, it may as well be a local app (figma, the 3d viewer..) or at least have an API so I can build my own interface.

I’m not against Web Apps, but many take my browser as free real estate.
I think both humans and AI's are only as intelligent as their language data, maybe just one bit more than language
I have a different view. I have been trying to use GPT for some tasks like NP reductions, Linear Programming formulations, Graph problems, etc. and the results are maddeningly bad. Seriously, I have raged in front of my computer like I hadn't raged since the days of the NES Ghostbusters game. The amount of mistakes is incredible and the model seems to constantly feed into vicious circles of "I am sorry, you are correct, I made a mistake" then moving a few things around then being corrected again and ending up on the original mistake.

Two interesting things it did for me lately: insisted that 8 + 6 = 11 and also proved that P = NP. I don't know which solutions it may be providing you, but it can't be anything too complex, or at least not too abstract.

What do they mean by "own"? Is it deed in hand or debt to a banker?
I was talking about science, not planned economy in general. Planned economy is problematic for many of the same reasons for which capitalist production in large corporations is problematic. (And capitalist system which wouldn't have many large hierarchically controlled corporations doesn't exist.)

My point is, there existed different systems of doing science, which weren't measured as much (to the extent that would cause overproduction of articles that no scientist has time to read), because they had different preference than "scientific efficacy by an objective metric". For example, preference for somebody being authority in a scientific field for life. Or preference for academia to be a place for outcasts. Or preference for democratic decision making about what to scientifically pursue. These are all non-capitalist preferences.
The original purpose of such gifts was exchanging something of actual value like land not supporting a massive marketing campaign pushing a tradition as fake as Happy Honda Days.

Synthetic diamonds have already destroyed the big shiny rock as a display of wealth, but the marketing continues.
Agreed, I've got an Aura 15 as well a few years ago, and I consider it a good buy price/performance wise.

I had originally ordered a different, slightly more expensive model, and had no trouble at all with customer service to send it back in exchange for the Aura and a refund, which impressed me very positively.

I run Debian on the laptop and had no trouble with it.

How do you explain the 2014 Danske Bank money laundering scandal in Estonia? To be clear: I recognize that Estonia is not Lithuania. My point: Estonia is also a part of EU / Eurozone and its central bank is governed by ECB. That governance did little to nothing to stop the money laundering scandal. It went on for years, which implies incredibly weak enforcement of banking regulations. Outside of the economic majors in EU, I am generally distrustful of banking regulation _enforcement_. Yes, the laws are written, but are they effectively enforced? I doubt it.
