So I'm assuming that your comment is in reference to me casting doubt on the usefulness of automation in meetings, emails, and other forms of communication.

The point is that there's plenty of high level, technical, and nuanced communication that can only happen between experts. The expertise isn't documented anywhere (unless you count previous email exchanges), it's not somehow represented in a database, and often times decisions are highly specific to one particular situation. Asking a non expert to fulfill this role is difficult enough. I'm not convinced that this is a problem solved by technology.

> CPNGs will contain several images inside them

That was not my read. When discussing HDR it’s clear that ONLY the extra bits are stored in a new data structure and are applied to the base image at display time.

So that gets you a bit-for-bit compatible image on old systems and HDR on new systems without duplicating data.

I believe that pattern applies throughout: a baseline, standard PNG image plus extra instructions and data for adding information to it.
Why is IT not allowed to have a Union? [video]
The author states IT people make more money than average, but the lack of free time, high responsibility, and high levels of customer service make the job harder than it appears.

And that since some IT workers (in the USA) make high wages, it makes it hard for outsiders to sympathize with these workers to form a union.
> 6-8 ounces per day is less than the average American consumes (average daily American consumes ~12 ounces/day), but I also don't think that you'd call the average American diet a "healthy" omnivore diet. The study diet would come out to 180ish lbs per year, which is more than 3x the global average.

I think "less than the average American consumes" is a more accurate indication of an omnivorous diet than "3x the global average", because the global average is filled with malnourished populations.

Even when looking at the 5 ounce average for European diets, that's still including a lot of impoverished countries.

A healthy diet, on definition alone, is not going to be found in impoverished countries.
You are probably aware that there are many different types of RSI. I have used some of the following remedies for some types of RSI with some success.
1. Ulnar tunnel syndrome (numbness and tingling in the 4th and 5th finger of the mouse-using hand). All sorts of computer mice can apparently cause this due to pressure on the ulnar tunnel. Automating all mouse actions by using Autohotkey mouse macros helped very much in my case. Using a mini pen tablet (temporarily) as mouse replacement may also help to some degree.
2. Tennis elbow (painfulness of the outer part of the elbow) from too much mouse clicking. Temporary relief may be obtained by careful (!) Botox application in very small doses by an experienced (!) neurologist. Do not try this at home. This leads to a therapeutic paresis of the affected muscle and consequently to a temporary immobilization of the affected tendon that lasts several months. Please note that the abovementioned procedure will only cure the tennis elbow if the underlying cause (too many mouse clicks) is completely removed e. g. by using Autohotkey mouse macros. Please note that Botox may lead to serious harm if given by inexperienced and/or incompetent persons.

As long as satiety is maintained enough to stay on the diet I don't see that it's necessarily an issue. Plants and nuts especially tend to be high in fiber and thus very filling per calorie. The mechanism of weight loss (lower caloric intake, here) isn't that important, as long as it's a sustainable mechanism.

In .NET, GC is triggered when a user thread runs out of memory in an allocation budget and needs more, similar to what you described [0].

Generally speaking, indefinitely preventing GC from running is not possible (you always end up putting some data on the heap) therefore an optimal strategy is similar to any other language - limiting allocations and reusing memory through object and array pooling. This will ensure that GC pauses are as infrequent and as short as possible. It's important to note that if there is sufficient allocation budget - the GC will not run.

This way, in a well written code the GC may only ever trigger every few hundred frames and only take a millisecond to run. In fact, OSU! has been able to get consistently good frame times even back on .NET Framework.

When I was focused on growing muscle mass I ate around 200-250 grams of dietary protein a day. It was a chore. I had to eat well past satiety every meal. And this was on an 1800 calorie diet, so it was basically just lean protein and low glycemic index vegetables.
I would like to support this observation. Obviously, they generated some language of their own, with lots of implications and references.

If the globally sorted reference list of N songs has M consecutive entries that we want to spread evenly, they should be "shuffled" at increments of floor(N/M) or 1+floor(N/M): easy to guarantee with tortured recursive constructions like the one that opens the article, less obvious with a hash function that is affected by floating point approximations.

An integer formula that is more obvious to work: starting from any number between the maximum group size and (if larger) N/phi, pick an increment D as the next larger or smaller integer that has no common factors with N (to ensure full period) and map index K to index (S+K*D)%N.
Sorry, I didn't mean in terms of the codec or data deduplication. You're right, it's probably not implemented as actually having different images in the same file. That would be quite silly. Sorry for my ambiguity.

But functionally, this means that two renderers would have different outputs for the same file. It's not so bad when it's just HDR, but if this continues to grow, it WILL get bad. We've seen it many, many times before with hacked-on file extensions.

If it were Microsoft doing this (it's not), it would be just yet another embrace-extend-extinguish effort. But it's not. I have no doubt this author has good intentions, and this is a cool hack, but I think it will lead to confusion and poor outcomes in widespread usage.

It's really not great when an image format looks "somewhat" the same between renderers. In fact, I think that's worse than it not working at all. From experience, it leads to these situations where the same image can fragment over time just by virtue of being worked on by different people in different environments (apps, OSes, browsers, devices), and there's not really a clear way to tell which is which without extensively analyzing the metadata.

If Joe starts work on a HDR version, sends it to Sarah, Sarah adds a bunch of new edits but then saves it in an app that recompresses the image and overwrites the HDR, Joe might never know. And then if the format continues to expand, maybe a bit later Jane and Janet each add mutually incompatible extensions to the file without knowing it. The "base" image might look the same to all of these people, but each had specific edits in mind that the others might not have known about, because their renderers LOOKED like it was rendering the same image when it wasn't.

This isn't a hypothetical... it happened a lot when PNG first came out, and with PSD (Photoshop files) for a good decade or two until the subscription model came out.

This phenomenon has been know forever — back in the 60s my paediatrician mother said 12 year old boys are smarter than 13- and 14 yo ones but then the curve bends up, and my son’s school even discussed how they took that into account.

What’s fascinating about the article is the focus on KPIs: the parents saw the performance lagging (esp in comparison to daughters) and decided intervention was required.

The carpenter knows the wood has its own grain and structure; Michelangelo said that “the sculpture is inside the marble and must be let out” (fissures and seams must be taken into account), but somehow the modern middle class mentality is that the child must be bent in some procrustean fashion to fit the model.

This affliction is well known to us programmers who see management setting unrealistic metrics to complex projects.
A lot has changed in school in 100 years. Less recess, less shop classes, and the average kid 100 years ago finished school after 6th or 8th grade, not after 12th or even "16th" (college) as today. They also probably got more other physical activity from doing chores that are now more automated, from possibly helping with a family farm or small urban household business, and from walking to and from school and other errands instead of being driven in an automobile.

A modern kid basically has to be put into sports or else they'll get about as little physical activity as an invalid in traction in the hospital nowadays.
The EU doesn't aspire to economic or commercial success. It's an ideologically motivated socialist state with no real ideas for how to fund a high quality of life for the majority, but that's OK because the stated objective is equal quality of life, not high quality of life.

Well, what other way is there? Hamas is a terrorist organization, with in the picture, there will never be peace. The only option thus is the most targeted elimination of all terrorists. Unfortunately, 100% specificity is impossible to achieve. So the question is, is Israel doing their absolute best on minimizing casualties or not?

Do you have a reason to assume they don’t do so? The reported 2:1 ratio is absolutely in line with modern warfares, especially considering the very very densely populated urban environment.
> 6-8 ounces per day is less than the average American consumes (average daily American consumes ~12 ounces/day)

I believe the median is going to be more like 6-8oz. In other studies I've come across it has been observed that a relatively small percentage of the US population (15%?) has meat consumption that greatly outsizes the typical American, which skews the results. Apparently there is a significant sub-population of Americans that get most of their calories from meat.
Because it assumes the data only has negative use. Asian and black communities are underserved in many ways from employment, medicine to education.

Forbidding AI to identify race is forbidding AI tools to help serve those people better or even detect that they are being served poorly.

It assumes even that targeted advertising by race or gender orientation is only exploitative and not seeking to help fill key needs.

AI is only made by racists and religious jobs as a basic assumption seems like a very stupid assumption.

If the vegan participants were eating less on their own because the diet induced greater satiation, then great! That's a fantastic result. But these participants were provided meals from a meal service, so they were being presented with fewer calories. That's a very, very major problem, one that the authors themselves admit in the conclusions. Which is why it's frustrating to see them take such stronger language in the beginning of the article. They know it's an issue but pretend it isn't until the end when they hope that most people won't see it.
> PayPal cofounder and aspiring philosopher-mogul Peter Thiel, who has said that he “no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible,” [...]

I like how Thiel tells on himself by clarifying that his definition of "freedom" strictly refers to freedom only for himself alone.

If you're interested in maximizing freedom, you inevitably face the problem of what to do when two freedoms contradict. How do you handle the fact that "the right to swing your fist as you please" and "the right to not get punched in the nose" are both legitimate freedoms?

There are two ways to resolve the conflict:

1. You identify classes of people where one person's freedom is subservient to another person's freedom. This is what Thiel and his so-called "libertarians" desire: a class-based society where the freedoms of the poor are strictly subservient to the freedoms of the rich.

2. You identify freedoms that are subservient to other freedoms, and enforce those freedoms equally. This means that everyone gains the right not to get punched in the nose, and everyone gains the right to swing their fist mostly as they please, but everyone also loses the right to swing their fist into someone else's nose. This is egalitarianism. And to an authoritarian like Thiel, the idea that he should be denied any right at all, even in principle, is anathema; he desires to rule.

The problem is that when you say private interests should take over the duties of a entire branch of government, you are literally telling people you want an undemocratic system motivated by money above all else in charge of the public good.

I've been on a similar trajectory. I realized I was using Reddit 40 hours a week and quit. A little while later, I got on Twitter and used it too much as well. I'm working to not do the same on HN and took a long "no social media" break before even coming to the site. As a result I was able to clear out a lot of the noise in my head and that has helped me gain focus. I cut news out as well and only rarely check what's going on in the world. I also converted to Catholicism and that has helped me gain a lot of peace that I didn't have before. I really don't feel the need to stress about something I know is in God's hands anyway -- it isn't up to me to change the world if that's not my purpose.
