I knoooow, it was exactly my feeling. He has a lot of referral links... but over half of them are out of stock. If he gave a shit about making money he'd have updated the links.

Overall I think he's legit, but also weird. It could be "rich guy weird" or "on the spectrum weird", doesn't really matter. Either way, I'm mostly taking him seriously now, with caveats.

The biggest caveat being, of course, that it's a study with a sample size of 1. A very in-depth study, but the applicability is limited. For example if you look at the list of supplements, there are quite a few which are obviously there because he's a vegan.

This is also related to why his protocol isn't explained in detail - it's ongoing and result-based. He may try something, see if it works, and stick it in the protocol. Supporting studies are useless for this modus operandi - he's not trying to convince you that particular supplement is good for you. All he's doing is risk-benefit calculations for his particular case. Which means that yes, he'll have a bunch of stuff which maybe work for everybody, or maybe work for him, or maybe random noise just made them look like they work for him but are actually useless. Or worse, stuff which can be actively harmful, but he was lucky or just very healthy otherwise and didn't see the damage.
If this is going to be the main discussion thread, I'd recommend changing the link to a non-tabloid news article.

There might be other explanations, thought not necessary better. For example maybe they are following Steve Jobs' dream of single button apps? All not essential features confuse people[0]. Google have already hidden "cached" version link in tiny hamburger menu.

Or they assume they know better what the users wants than the users themselves. YouTube straight up ignores dislikes - and will show disliked video in mixes or at first place of search results.

If we give Google the benefit of doubt, maybe people just kept accidently blocking useful sites and later complained they couldn't find anything? Thought Steam deals with that perfectly: search results start with disclaimer:
"8,875 results match your search. 2,053 titles have been excluded based on your preferences." - and it takes 2 clicks to go back to unfiltered results.

> Thermodynamics account for inefficient processes

Not arguing it doesn't. Just that using thermodynamics to understand human metabolism is akin to trying to grok flight through Newtonian mechanics. You can do it. But mostly by working backwards from higher-level principles.

The evidence for that disconnect is this thread. CACO leads people to believe you can't decrease your calorie consumed and burned without also increasing physical activity levels. Yet that's empirically incorrect. Not because thermodyanmics doesn't apply. But that it applies in mechanisms so complex that starting from first principles doesn't work until you have the roadmap.

> slight overeating for one body weight just means that you reach equilibrium at a slightly higher body weight

Studies observing the effects of calorie restriction see improvements in a variety of biomarkers. That slightly-higher weight comes with higher inflammation, higher CVD frequencies and other nasties.
Oof. If we defeat aging, we'll have to contend with:

* unbounded population increase
* wealth and power directly proportional to age
* dictators and other bad people not dying

Not insurmountable but all of those big problems would require massive sociological shifts.

I imagine the signal they measure is AB test / throw crap at a wall type scale i.e. they trial lots of lines of product and scale-up and restock those doing great margin/numbers and drop those that don't. They don't care too much about subjective product picker's design opinions or user reviews - if it sells, it's stocked.

I also expect the demographic they are selling to are impulse buyer notebook neophytes. The lettered purpose on the front triggers those buyers. They buy the product and put it to one side, never to use it. Repeat buyers that care about the notebook design probably turn to specialist brands they multi-buy online.
very interesting to compare the custom hardware approaches provided by amd and nvidia.

while unaware on exact reasons why nintendo went with nvidia, they ended with some legacy hand-me-downs instead of proper custom hardware to suit their needs.

regardless, it is a good reminder of how the current hardware landscape allows developers to be lax with supporting limited specs by default. it is refreshing to see some nudges made in the pc gaming space thanks to steam deck and its similar hardware approach.

- Crazy how well the carbon fiber A350 held up given that it seems to have landed pretty much directly on a Dash 8 (RIP Coast Guard team). Looks like trading long term flammability for initial rigidity lived up to the design intent.

- Excellent evacuation job, especially as it looks like on some videos that the crew was unable to shut down the right engine, rendering the entire right side unusable (severed lines given the severe belly damage?) UPDATE: they actually did use the front right exit nevertheless https://x.com/tanakamaru1999/status/1742132422005981578

ADAM is known to have better convergence bounds than other methods. Theoretical bounds may not explain the full story of why a method works well, but it is how mathematicians reason about it. I'm only blaming them for not sharing those relevant parts of what we already know.

My bigger pain point even is how they choose to allocate their space: the theorem statements for the most relevant results are missing, the proofs for the more interesting theorems are just citations, while the proofs for basic and arguably tangentially relevant lemmata from eg probability theory take up pages and pages.
I knew someone who worked on a year 2000 project. I was in school at the time.
He started this job around 1997 and believe it officially ended around Aug 2000.

He worked for oil and gas sites with relations to big companies like BP etc. He was checking all systems being used - ranging from 2 to 25 years old. maybe more.

I was learning C programming at the time so was (barely) able to have a conversation with him. I found it very interesting. If I was a few years older he might have been given a low pay job to get my foot in the door.

Not once did he portray this as some kind of 'doom' like scenario but expressed potential problems if not dealt with - and that was his job. He focused on software used on oil rigs along with oil/gas sites.

There was a Sega Saturn in the room and used this as an example. Pointing at it, he said there are 3 outcomes to consider. I think there was more to it than that but was making the point to (me) a 14 year old.

1) It wont have any problems going into year 2000 and over.
2) The internal clock does not go from 1999 to 2000. Instead, it goes 1999 to 1900.
3) Or - The console stops working entirely when it reaches year 2000.

If the outcome was 2) - the console will likely still work fine. Worst case is some games could stop working if using the internal clock. Another example is saved game data being a problem.

He didn't think the Saturn would have outcome 3) but if it did stop working - it isn't the end of the world. A lot of parents will be complaining but thats it. Its just a games console.

He then said to think of other computer systems out there. Think about electricity powering your home. Think about your boiler. Think about the london underground or aeroplanes. Think about banks or hospitals. There are computers doing far more important things than the Sega Saturn. A number of these machines could be more than 15 years old. Back then we would be talking about programs originally created in 1985.

I remember having this conversation with kids in my school who were the "computer whizz" kids at that time. I was a nobody as I never presented my skills on computers. I am shocked at their attitude towards it. They would always interrupt me, laughing at me, because I wasn't part of their cliq. Because of their reputation in school, even the teachers were siding with them smirking. Their argument was always about the Windows 95/98 PC's in front of them. They did not think about the bigger picture. Software written in COBOL from past days still being used.

The joke of Y2K is not recent. It was a joke back then as well. It was either a joke or fearmongering. Majority sided with one (non computer people) or the other (many who thought they did)

Still we have 2038 - :-)
I noticed that too.

$38k in 1981 in Edmonton was firmly middle class.

Plenty of homes cost less than $100k. Rent was in the $100-300 per month range for a nice 2 bedroom.

Dude just got greedy. If he had skimmed $600 per week instead of $3000, he would have doubled his take home pay and likely never would have been caught. It would have amounted to almost $100k every 3 years which is a tidy sum back then.
The filter first creates pattern of 2x2 black squares, spaced by 8 pixels vertically and horizontally.

Then it creates a composite of the original image and the just generated pattern, basically coloring the 2x2 squares with colors from the original image.

Finally it blows up the 2x2 squares to 10x10 squares using the feMorphology filter primitive with "dilate" type.

A very clever filter indeed.
I ran 15 miles on Monday at a pretty relaxed pace (took 2.5 hours). My watch, while probably not perfectly accurate, nevertheless suggested I burned approximately 1640 additional calories during this time.

This is 1/4 as much as 10 hours and is a significant proportion of my basal metabolic expenditure.

On a more typical day, I may run closer to an hour and be closer to 600-700 calories. I'd still call this significant.

You can burn significant calories exercising, but the exercise is probably kind of unpleasant.
> Come on, Margaret Atwood. You can do better than this. "Protected class," "inciting," and "credible threat" are all specific legal terms, and you can look them up rather than invent your own definitions in service of your argument.

I think she did a fine job of laying out her argument so everyone could understand. A "protected class" implies there are classes that are not protected. Atwood was making it clear that that protected class should mean any groupable people by trait.

> And the reason they don't ban hate symbols, I'm guessing, is that they would have to list them explicitly.

You don't have to list things explicitly to ban them. A no swearing policy doesn't list every swear word publicly. A no homophobia policy doesn't explicitly list every act of homophobia possible.

> A symbol alone is not the same as an incitement to violence.

I think a group of people protesting with certain symbols would be a call to violence. Symbols convey meaning. Some symbols have been used and associated with humanity's worst acts and carry with it that meaning.

> And how do you categorize, for instance, the Palestinian flag or the Israeli flag?

State flags are state flags, I'm not sure you can categorically call them symbols of hate. A Hamas flag (a group of people that have specifically called for the death of all Jews) is a symbol of hate, despite a non-zero number of people thinking otherwise.

There's not much planning involved in consuming whey protein (or a similar protein supplement product). You put 2 scoops in and get some ~50-60g of protein in your diet. It's much, much less effort than measuring/weighing your daily food intake to check if it matches your protein needs.

If one is actively working on building muscles there's already a pretty concerted effort to the whole goal, adding some protein supplement to that is much easier than carefully planning your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to reach your daily intake needs.

i gave it a try last month with some bad results. for context, i was using firefox containers before using sync, and i lost all my containers after trying this!

the bookmarks did not get synced to a new device after logging in there either.

i am sure there might be a good explanation for this or someplace i went wrong, but it is not idiot-proof yet to say the least.

for most privacy-centric guys, just a bookmark sync solution is better suited imo, and some of them also work across different browsers fwiw.
Yeah I guess you'd need to wrap "binary packages" into a library with C API (even if the implementation is written in Zig).
> Perhaps this requires `-O0 -g` or similar to work effectively, which games devs are usually not open to.

Well, not for the shipping/release/prod builds, sure. But for dev? I dunno, from my vantage would rather keep it, if not for debug/inspect then just for compile speeds and ensuring a certain baseline perf even-without-optimizations... (but then, I'm not triple-A or have any games to my record =)
I am not familiar with the term "proven authority", but I assume what you mean is that it is enough to prove the authenticity of the data in this case. Yes, a cryptographic signature of the pages content would be enough here, but then you would still have some kind of PKI and cryptography involved and in the end https is the best supported approach for that.

Defaulting to full https also has the advantage that you don't have to re-evaulate if you should be using https in the future, when you make some changes to the functionality or content of a website.

What are your criteria for "method working"?

E.g. your dog would recognize an object that smells like the part of her that you rubbed. Your dog would also notice that it is a static scent, with an age of 1-2 minutes, that continues to fade. Your dog would also recognize your scent (you held the mirror), the scent of the mirror and perhaps some other scents in the air.

Would you count this as "working" or not?

I don’t know anything about gamergate, so I’m not arguing anything relative to that. I’m sharing my personal experience of an anti-EV push in the media.

I think it is likely because of what I am seeing in the media. Astroturfing is not a new concept, it would be naive to assume it is not happening given the history in oil and gas.
> Small-C for CP/M anno '87 or so.

"Power C" by Mix Software was another one, targeting PCs, and is the C compiler i cut my teeth on back then. IIRC it cost only 5 USD for the compiler and debugger. i don't recall whether it was shareware, but it was really inexpensive and worked well (and could even run on a floppy-only system). It never gave me any grief.

While I also doubt the numbers, $1M in fare revenue != $1M in operating cost. Most public transit systems are heavily subsidized.

That said, https://edmontonsun.com/opinion/columnists/gunter-edmonton-t... gives much higher numbers operating costs and fare revenues.

> In a report released Tuesday, Wiun revealed the cost to operate Edmonton Transit went from $105 million a year in 2000 to $327 million last year.

Maybe a lot of the revenue comes from transit passes and/or card payments and the 20% are supposed to represent only tickets sold for cash?

Edit: Just saw the year, so you'd have to adjust that for inflation again too, but credit cards likely weren't a thing for transit passes.
If you’re a mathematician and you have a conjecture, constant, equation, function or theorem named after you, you can be proud of yourself.

If you’re Euler, that’s 3 conjectures, 11 equations, 9 formulas, 4 functions, 2 identities, 10+ constants, 11 theorems, and 2 laws, some of them shared with others (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Leo...)

That includes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid–Euler_theorem, which must have been one of the ‘cooperations’ (Euclid died ±270BC, Euler lived 1707-1783, and his proof was published posthumously) on a theorem that took the longest time in history.
Not necessarily. I'm in my early fifties and I typically run 30 miles/50 km per week. I've been doing this for a couple of years and I reckon I consume less calories and eat less in general than during my sedentary phase.
