I am/was in this scenario. I'm sure there are other resources out there specifically aimed at developers, but a book I'm reading now is "Deep Learning From Scratch" by Seth Weidman. He takes a different approach, by explaining concepts in three distinct methods: a mathematical way, by using diagrams and by showing the code.

I like this approach because it allows me to connect the math to the problem, whereas otherwise you wouldn't have.

In the book, you're slowly creating a DL framework, as the title says, from scratch. He also has all the code on GitHub: https://github.com/SethHWeidman/DLFS_code

I think if you are truly trying to understand deep learning, you will never get to avoid the math because that's really what it is at it's core, a couple of (non-linear) functions chained together (obvious gross oversimplification).
Honestly it sounds like he is putting a lot of stress on himself and I'm not sure that helps to stay young at all. He doesn't look young but at least he dresses younger which I guess is something.
Real cool, thanks for the link! Wish we had something similar for our national railway network here in neighboring Romania.

And one good thing that will be brought by us (Romania) finally getting into Schengen this year (God- and Austria-permit) would be that the rail connections between Romania and Hungary would become much more common, especially the regional ones. I can see a Salonta - Békéscsaba ride on this map that I had no idea about, hopefully we'll get much more of those into the future.

I love what the guy is doing. It is a one-man experiment that would be very very hard to reproduce, or even get ethics approval and funding for, by a research lab.

But on the other hand, I get a sense that the public side of his results are overblown. For example, my field is epigenetics, so I had a look at his "epigenetic clock" results. He uses "DunedinPACE" to track the rate of aging and his result is supposedly 0.72 (which very roughly estimates that he ages 0.72 years per a single astronomical year).

However, what is not mentioned, is that this result, while impressive, is not so extraordinary. He is number 6 in his own online leaderboard [1]. And the people who beat him at this metric don't do anything fancy to get better numbers than him [2]. Why not mention things like that along with all the optimism?

The first thing that comes to my mind upon seeing something like this is how well will he handle aging and deterioration.

My extreme prejucide is he is indeed obsessed with his health. Human health sometimes is not about the bad things we get? but how well do we handle those curve balls.

Why would you be unable to compete? The matchmaking system will still put you against users on a similar level to yourself. Whether they're your level through cheats or natively doesn't matter.

A player playing cs go at 1280×720 at 30 ps on a ball mouse will always loose to one on playing at 2560×1440 240fps with a high-quality mouse.

Now there's one more dimension of unfairness. But who cares? You're still going to be winning ~51% of the time, that's why matchmaking systems exist.

I haven’t jumped to a conspiracy theory, I have been watching the spread of misinformation about EVs for a while.

It doesn’t help that algorithms on YouTube and Facebook amplify the misinformation.

If you want evidence, one recent example is the fire at Luton. It was a diesel car:

> The investigation into the cause of the fire continues, but it has been determined that the vehicle that first caught fire was a diesel car.

https://www.bedsfire.gov.uk/news/london-luton-airport-car-pa...

However there are people still trying to push a narrative that it was an EV and it doesn’t take long to find it. If you go on any EV based ad on Facebook you will see the same people and bots pushing this fire narrative and other FUD. It doesn’t have to be an EV ad, if it’s tangentially related like for an EV charger or even solar panels you see it too.

Anecdotal. You are right about Indians being obese but it’s not because of the reasons you cited I think. Typical Indian diet now a days is extremely carb and sugar rich. Both of which contribute to the obesity.

Games make a lot more money than they used to. Might want to see how many copies stuff like Quake sold, which whilst despite feeling like a global phenomenon, wasn't really by modern standards.

Even FPS games with big players counts like FPS are really interesting versus what we used to have.

This assumption is why eating disorders are on the rise. Increasing amount of population eats significantly less then they need and are terrified of eating more.

And at every step, they hear that they surely eat too much.
It also becomes easier to believe if you have to sacrifice something, do something hard..

If the solution was easy, then we wouldn't be so gullible, we'd have a much harder time believing it works.

I enjoyed a couple of the footnotes!

> “Euler” is pronounced “oiler,” which is why virtually every sports team assembled by the University of Alberta’s math department has been named “the Edmonton Eulers.”

"Euler’s mathematical brilliance" is footnoted: "I’m not exaggerating. I’ve taken no less than 13 University level math courses, and Euler’s name showed up in at least 10 of them. The man’s contributions to mathematics are probably more significant than Einstein’s contributions to physics. Find him on Wikipedia when you have a minute or thirty."
We all "know" deep down why they removed it.

Deep down all these apps and websites are glorified databases of "something", and giving the users more options means:

1. Users find exactly what they want, more quickly.

2. They spend less time "browsing" or windows shopping to use a physical world term.

3. The app has more control over what they show you, so they can sell that feature to others.

4. Users have less perfect information, so they never know the perfect or optimal choice or purchase. This again means they can convince producers to join.

5. Less direct access to their database so less scraping.

6. People don't realize how simple the data is, just a bunch of Metadata really.

All of this is given an aura of legitimacy and user friendliness by complicit or unknowing growth hackers, marketing people, UX designers, engagement people, and dozens of other names.

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.

Are you aware that benefits mostly extend to species whit short life spans, high reproductive rates and high mortality in the wild? That is mostly because being in a zoo offers protection from the things that get these mammals with fast paced lives killed in the wild. Senescence is barely delayed in those mammals and in mammals with slower paced lives there is no effect on senescence and in some senescence starts earlier in captivity.

> Resting metabolic rates decrease in obese people, and stay lowered even if they lose weight

It very much depends on how you lost weight.

You can be losing weight while maintaining high BMR. They key is to maintain high activity level and be able to eat to satiety regularly.

If you just cut calories consumed the body will try to defend from perceived starvation by cutting on activity and metabolic rate. You become sluggish, you feel cold even on a hot day, etc.

But you can also cut average calories consumed in relation to caloric requirements by moving a lot and practicing intermittent fasting where you eat to satiety from time to time (once a day, once every other day, etc.)

> (...) and it really is no wonder why it's so hard to lose weight once you have it and more than 90% of attempts persistently fail. This is why I do not like armchair "pills don't solve everything" (...)

I had two attempts at losing weight. I lost over 70 pounds both times. After the first time I regained it all within couple of years. For the second time I decided to rethink entire process and treat it as an engineering problem.

My results is that, to lose weight permanently, one has to learn new habits and essentially become a person that person that deserves lower body weight.

Which is what I did, I learned to eat better (cut all sugar, soft drinks and most carbs), stop snacking, restrict feeding hours, add activity every day throughout the day (running every morning, taking walks in the evening, sprinkling the day with small activities like buying groceries rather than driving to a mall once a week, etc.) It works.
> I have no idea [...] but I'm pressy sure
I think one thing missing is that these hype cycles can be stacked on top of one other. The Internet isn't simply one cycle; there's two other cycles including cloud computing and mobile.

Blockchain goes through a few. First with Bitcoin as a currency, then things like contracts, then NFT. It likely fails at some - we're still not seeing Bitcoin as a currency. But the overlapping cycles tend to mess with it; people who get excited over NFT also get excited over Bitcoin.

IMO Peaks can only occur when a tech has gone past the Early Majority market into Late Majority. Something can still peak while it's in Late Majority, but never earlier.

How do we measure this? I normally assume HN is in the front of Early Majority. I'd say universities and Fortune 500 are at the end of Early Majority. People who hang around TikTok and Discord are at the start of Late Majority. FB users are at the end of Late Majority. That relative who doesn't use Internet and gets all her news from TV is in the Laggard phase, though arguably not in the market at all. I could be wrong though, these are just random samples from the market I'm in.

Ride hailing, banking apps, SMS, and GPS maps are in the Laggard phase. In my country, QR payments have just entered Late Majority.

ChatGPT and Midjourney is probably in the Late Majority phase - that rando comic artist who still draws for newspapers is already playing with Midjourney.

Most people don't know about GPT-4, though. That's another hype cycle. Asking GPT via photos is still in the Early Majority phase, so it'll likely go up a lot higher. GPT-4 can answer exams and take home interview questions via your phone, but most exams aren't built against this.

I wonder whether Canadians usually call themselves American, or whether this habit of USAns to monopolize the word influenced them into not using it.
I have no idea how you determined this: 16 calories a day (1 teaspoon of sugar) would make no difference either way.

Yes, but until it actively blocks people's typical day, it will be low on people's priority list.

Those of us that, for whatever reason, see it coming, should keep calm and steady and keep ocasionnaly presenting our view in a non-confrontational way, and support groups or legislative efforts which may be allies.

If you, like me, don't have the mental bandwidth for all of that, just try to keep frustration to a low when possible and keep rowing for the good side.

Our bodies can be surprisingly different, this is why it can be surprisingly hard to draw any conclusion from research involving a few hundreds tests subject. As an example, a lot of diets are still contentious and the subject of many debate.

Although, on a side note, seeing how my grand parent fared towards the end of their life, I did realize that I do not fear death or aging, I fear the slow withering where you get more and more diminished. So I get where this idea is coming from
> Blaming it on the two-party system is such a short-sighted US-centric point of view. There are plenty of countries with other types of democracies, and they have roughly similar problems

There are also plenty of countries with very close to somewhat different systems. Let's take France, where there are > 2 party - more like a dozen, of various sizes and shapes -, and where the president is a direct elect from the crowd.

Sounds far removed from the Lib vs Dem indirect US presidential election? Well, every single time when there's a new contender that does not alight with the typical left vs right mentality they're going to be derided as weasely opinion cherry-pickers with an agenda of selecting voters; "that one can't make up their mind, therefore they're shady: pick a side already!" unanimously shouts the crowd.

Some think it gets further emphasised by the two-round election system: vote for any candidate (who may or may not be tied to a specific party, but hey, guess show you get any reasonable amount of campaign funding), then vote for one of the top two of the previous round (the latter is basically intentional post-WWII design that assumes >50% of the population is sensible enough to kick out an extremist should they get enough of a share on the first round so that the neighbour's history doesn't repeat itself).

I'd argue that it would be essentially the same without it: there's only one winner, and for the winner to carry any weight through their term they need to have some backing in Senate and Parliament, which also gets us into "pass" vs "no pass" law- and decision-making, and so, deep down, a "us vs them"[0][1] situation.

It's not a two party system, yet ultimately it seems like "yes" vs "no" voting always crystallises things into one as an artifact.

> Raz Segal, the program director of genocide studies at Stockton University, concretely says it is a “textbook case of genocide.” Segal believes that Israeli forces are completing three genocidal acts, including, “killing, causing serious bodily harm, and measures calculated to bring about the destruction of the group.” He points to the mass levels of destruction and total siege of basic necessities—like water, food, fuel, and medical supplies—as evidence.

If a director of genocide studies says there is a case to be made, there is a case to be made. I can try to make the case, if you want, until dang steps in to curtail a flamewar between two people who aren't even mad at each other and who nobody else reads ^^

But more importantly, what practical difference do you see?

I say our neighbour is murdering his daughter, right now. All sorts of people come from the brushwork to call me a neighbour-hater, berate me in all sorts of ways, seek nuance, blah di blah. Turns out, he didn't murder his daughter, he was "just" raping her and cutting her legs off while people made excuses to do fuck all. And then they feel vindicated even! See? False alarm. It wasn't crime A that is beyond that pale, it was crime B that is beyond that pale!

Hannah Arendt explained how totalitarianism can only by fully understood by obduction, and how people who can't get mobilized by what is already known, wouldn't be mobilized by the full picture either.

Don't criticize me for doing imperfectly what you are not doing at all and expect anything but a tired groan. Put people on trial and then the judges can and should be nuanced. Until then, nope.

Sometimes. It depends on the UI requirement for the game.

I have seen some extremely-UI-heavy games which do exactly what you say; building a whole windowing environment entirely from scratch. (I'm working on a game that's doing that right now!).

But most major game engines provide a basic UI toolkit if your needs aren't too intense, and those are often more than enough for most games and are a whole heap less effort; they can typically be themed so that your UI doesn't look like everybody else's UI, and if all you need is a single window with some widgets and buttons and maybe a text field, that's probably going to be more than enough for you. Like, 95% of games would probably be totally fine with just that.

Maybe five years back I worked on and adjacent to a couple large games that were building their UI in an embedded copy of Flash (which wasn't as dead as people think!) Not sure whether large games are still doing that now, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are still some holdouts building their game UIs entirely in Flash!
If only the UX wasn't god awful shitgarbage. It manages to be underfeatured and obscure and just plain annoying (can I please see all music by the artist?) at the same time. A friend told me that UX designers he used to work with used to mock Spotify and took it as an example for how not to do things.

A private collection and a player like Clementine is so much nicer. It's not like Spotify has everything, anyway. Not even original versions of songs if anyone released an arbitrarily bad remaster.
