Those big lists! When I saw the post today about "most favorited submissions"^0, I reflected that many of them were things that might qualify as things people want to look into and learn about :) haha

Kind of interesting to think that CI is significantly slower in practice and both systems need to be maintained. Is it just the overhead of pushing through git or are there other reasons as well?
Healthy is a nebulous term, but most of the goals humans have e.g living long enough to meet your grandkids, or perform cognitively well enough to earn a living, implicitly include the instrumental goals of staying lean, and using your muscles regularly and vigorously. This is uncontroversial among scientists, and only called into question in the media.

No one is quite sure why obesity has become such a problem, but I'll give you several hypotheses all with reasonable mechanisms, and each with at least some data for you to argue about.

All of these things have changed in the last 100 years.

- Base metabolic rates have declined. We burn fewer calories doing nothing. Body temperatures are lower. No one is sure of the cause, it might be downstream from one of these other ones.

- We are more sedentary.

- Antibiotics have caused extinction of gut microbes, which were previously endemic, and passed through the maternal line.

- We take seeds, heat them up to extract oil, and put that oil in pretty much everything. This has significantly shifted the kind of fat in the food supply.
You can get a subset of the English Wikipedia printed and bound, that gives you even more privacy, as you don't need to share the topics you are interested in with any electronic service.

Hint: Using a public (book) library also means your reading behavior is tracked by intelligence agencies, unfortunately, so you need to own the books you may want to read.

Yeah, no, the person you’re responding to is not wrong. “Soy boy” as an insult has never been about processed foods - what are you on about?
You’re claiming your emails sort neatly into this categories? Could you provide some examples of them? Location, Item, Blueprint?
You should have made your first test program take a post request with the URL of the actual binary to run and have it fork-exec that. Now you have a "testing" service. :)
Look at a 3-thread overlock machine for a even more complex series of coordinated movements:

There are also 4, 5, and 6-thread overlockers but a quick search didn't find any videos showing how they operate in detail.
I have a friend whose bucket list included owning an Atomic Clock. We ended up repairing several HP 5061Bs along the way. We did the X/Y axis oscilloscope comparison of two clocks, it was a diagonal line when we went to lunch, and the same diagonal line when we got back... amazing stuff.

I think that makes me a qualified Quantum Mechanic. ;-)
My M2 defaults to using a "low power mode" when on battery, which I noticed initially because some graphics code I was writing was getting significantly lower frame rates when on battery.

Edit: 310fps vs 240fps
I'd be curious how the regulatory barriers in marine propulsion differ from static grid level powerplants.

Assuming some movement could be achieved there, hopefully driven by thorium's claims to superior inherent safety characteristics, this could make a really nice dent in shipping costs and emissions all in one go.

Yes, it would more correct to state that there are various competing albeit unequal centers of power at the top (made of smaller centers of power themselves) and that not even the biggest is absolute.

That makes for an interesting (if you are observer/participant) or frightening (if you are a victim) life.

Would you get behind such a statement ?
The turning point was right around 1980. If we can figure out what changed then, we can correct course. I think what happened around 1980 was only a spark to the kindling that'd been prepared by a series of mistakes starting in the 1950's.

America Is a Republic, Not a Democracy Is a Dangerous and Wrong Argument (2020)
More than a decade ago, I wrote a parser for Google Sketchup object files. It was part of some computer graphics assignment. We were not supposed to write parsers, but instead manually write out a 3D model vertex by vertex and then texture map them. I instead decided to write a parser and build my model in Sketchup.

It was a TON of fun doing that. And I learned a lot from that exercise.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago I "wrote" a parser / serializer for handling knowledge-graphs as input/output between my app and LLMs.

I used ChatGPT to walk me through the whole thing. It did very good job of converting between mermaidjs and an object type I defined in typescript. It wrote the code, the unit tests - the whole thing.

I don't understand how it works. The code is great. But not as satisfying.
> We're being told that people are healthy at any size.

Literally nobody in the medical community is saying this. Obesity is unequivocally bad for your longevity.

There is a healthy range, which is a little fuzzy. Some people are healthy at a slightly heavier build, and we know there's some flaws in the way the BMI calculation works for certain groups of individuals. However, there is still always a point where you are medically obese and health problems begin.

It absolutely kills people. Heart disease, stroke, diabetes. There's some studies that suggest it might even be a causal factor for Alzheimers.

> How is it okay to encourage weight loss with an expensive and possibly (likely) harmful drug, but not okay to encourage weight loss with a sensible diet?

First, weight loss through diet and exercise is certainly encouraged. The exercise is intrinsically good for you. Improving your diet is intrinsically good for you. The weight loss adds even more benefits on top of that. If this works for someone, that's literally perfect.

However, diet and exercise clearly do not work for many people. Lifestyle modification is hard, for a whole lot of reasons... some social, some biological. We know this as fact.

If diet and exercise fail, then using drugs to combat the biological (hormonal) drivers of obesity is the current second-line option. And even if there's some side effects, the overall increase in life expectancy makes it worth it.

> Is being overweight a bad or a good thing? Despite all of the research, that part is unclear.

Medically, it's very bad. The research is very clear.

Now, that said, if somebody's overweight they should still feel good about themselves as a person. Shifting the conversation from "you're overweight because you're not good enough, and you should feel bad about yourself" (which is both bad for mental health and counterproductive) to "you're overweight because obesity is a disease, not a personal failing - and the fitness+medical community is here to help you be a better you" is a much better approach.
Many people misinterpret what is required for a t-test.
Is 'Y' treated as a consonant or a vowel? Does it depend on the word ("sky" versus "yuck")?
> I will definitely be deploying this symbol in some of my documentation.

+1. Also curious to see where it should be positioned on the page. The wiki page says it goes in the margin. I tried searching github for 'u2621' to find examples but couldn't spot any rendered examples yet (only code).
There’s a crazy good deal for a dedicated server with 14-core/20-thread i5-13500 CPU and 64GB RAM, for just around 40 EUR/mo: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ex

This is honestly a bit overkill for a dev workstation (unless you compile Rust!), but since it’s a dedicated server it can also host any number of fully isolated services for homelab or saas. There’s nothing else like it in the wild, afaik.
There’s an interesting product idea (that’s maybe a dead end): make email inboxing more dependency-graphy. I do often find myself expecting an important email and having a known set of follow-on tasks
I think it is hard to find a balance between enforcement, realism and stringency.

If you make enforcement hard and standards stringent, with no realism, you will get cars that are optimized to pass a test that doesn't help in practice.

If you make enforcement hard and tests that are realistic but too easy, you will get an improvement, but maybe not as good as it may be.

And if you loosen up on enforcement and make test that are both realistic and stringent, manufacturers will cheat.

If you make all three hard, you just shift the problem, manufacturers will either optimize for tests, do not enough, or cheat depending on what is the balance between the three.
I understand what you are parsing, and it is missing something, but I think it reads fine.

Like..

"Experts say the reasons why TikTok (_topic of the article_) remains unclear."

Or perhaps it's referring to the previous sentence or paragraph. I do think the hyphenated subsection sets the tone too.

Made up example:

"The President today issued a statement. Experts says the reason why The President - who has issues statements in the past - remains unclear.
I think what you described is something that happens inherently in movements that become echo chambers. As the movement gets more extreme more and more of the reasonable people are driven out or silenced. Eventually the movement is controlled by a tiny minority of extremists and the majority of reasonable people feel compelled to agree with them or leave. Then the movement collapses.

This phenomenon has taken place many times in history. Look at how the ideas of socialism became extreme in China during the cultural revolution or in The USSR during the peak of Stalinism.

Anyway eventually the ultra Maoists in China lost control and China went in a different direction. Russia too. So at the most extreme things do seem to collapse and move in the opposite direction…
If one is to fill a rx meant for someone else (c2), ie someone diverts their legit RX to an addict who pays them and fills it

In CL, you can control the visibility of restarts. In the restart-bind construct, there is a :test-function which serves as a predicate that determines whether the restart is visible. (Unfortunately, this function is referred to as a condition).

While restarts can be visible or not, I believe there is no such mechanism for handlers. However, handlers can be effectively invisible/transparent by declining to handle a condition, which they can do simply by returning instead of perpetrating a non-local transfer.

Also, there doesn't seem to be an API in Common Lisp for calculating the handlers visible at a given point for a condition of a given type. So that means that the ability of a handler to decline a condition is pretty much as good as a visibility mechanism.
If the feedback is supposed to be helpful in narrowing down future guesses - I didn’t find it to be. If it’s just for scoring attempts then it’s working great.

Would prefer to know which letters were correct even if there’s no info about position correctness.

I found the answer trivial to google for after I gave up trying to think of an “8 letter word for transportation” that had the vowels in the right place

Better feedback probably would have kept me from resorting to google
What is there to solve?
Let say a natural gas power plant has a life time expectancy of 20 years. If we say that in 20 years we can abandon natural gas with nuclear, then lets put that as a deadline for when the last natural gas power plant will be demolished.

We need to stop building new natural gas power plants and existing ones need to have a planned obsolescence so that investors know when their investment will no longer be worth anything.
Yeah it would take a ludicrous amount to kill a field. Might as well put down gold foil weed barrier.
California has nowhere near enough chargers to service the number of electric semi trucks that will soon be on the road. Mr. Stanley can’t risk a truck running out of battery; getting towed only 10 miles costs $600.

Class actions, or the threat of them, force California to install more chargers so that truckers can abide by the mandate as it rolls out and spreads.

This is literally an article about issues faced by early adopters, not a blueprint for problems that will be locked in forever .. unless, of course, the US no longer has any ability to adapt and change.
I'm coming across this term for the first time and think it will be very useful. The most obvious thing missing from the wiki page is some visual examples of its usage. The wiki says it "appears in the margins of mathematics books" but would be great to see some examples.
> I suppose these days that would be considered child abuse :-/

I suppose you could find someone who believes this, but it sounds more like sour grapes and doesn’t add anything to the comment except an eye roll at an entire generation. We can all do better than throwaway comments like this one.
No, because:

- there was no one really in charge of such matters during most of the pertinent decades (first leg of Mao's regime): politics were the sole concern, leading to well-known disasters such as the Great Leap Forward ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward ) and disdain (or worse) towards whistle-blowers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam#Whistle-blower )

- the (Soviet) designers had no skin in the game

A nuclear reactor built and used in such a context may trigger some bad events in way less than 23 years, as a mere few seconds are sufficient for it to do so.
Well if Imagemagick needs funding to pursue a lawsuit against you, I'll certainly contribute to it...
Communication on one end. I don't agree with the dev comments, but I didn't see anything off putting about thr way the CLI comments were phrased. Most of the author's post seemed to be about the smug attitude (so, the former).
My mom was quite the seamstress back in the day. Clothes, drapes, slipcovers, whatevers. She had a Pfaff circa 1960. That thing was a tank and it stored in its own furniture cabinet when not in use.
Yes, elementary topology clearly shows that sewing machines don’t exist in three dimensions.
Show HN: Moondream, a small vision language model that runs on 8GB of RAM
I've been working on training this small vision language model for the last month - excited to release the first prototype today! It is based on SigLIP (image encoder), Phi-1.5 (text model) and trained using the LLaVa-1.5 training dataset.

It runs reasonably fast on CPU with ~8GB of RAM in full 32-bit precision. There's plenty of room to speed it up and reduce memory consumption by quantizing the model.

I posted a video of it running on my M2 Macbook Air (on CPU not MPS, so performance should be comparable on other hardware) on Twitter to demonstrate inference speed: https://twitter.com/vikhyatk/status/1740910503323734448
So you have some absolute line in the sand which exists for you to measure whether something is bad or not. Still it does not help you choose between two bad choices so how useful is that for you?
>What do the customers get? They get nothing more than the social status of other people seeing them have it. That value is something that doesn't exist except that Burberry created it out of thin air.

If those customers value that social status, how did you derive the authority to tell them they're wrong?

Of course, you don't have that authority. Nobody is in a position to tell other people what they should or shouldn't value. Some people value the exclusivity of fashionable brands, but that exclusivity cannot be maintained without government involvement. Without it, there's nothing to stop somebody besides Burberry from creating indistinguishable copies of Burberry bags, complete with the Burberry logo, at lower prices. If they're indistinguishable then who wouldn't buy them at the lower price? If they're indistinguishable, how would you even know it's a copy? If it's indistinguishable, is it EVEN a copy?

No. Monopoly control of something--a resource or in this case an idea--requires the power to enforce that monopoly. Typically, governments have that power and among the ways to exercise it is to grant and protect patent and copyright and trademark monopolies.
The beautiful thing about tofu is that it yields to whatever you put it in or drain it with. Kind of like chicken for most people.
This is something I've been interested in for a while.

I've collected a few links people have already posted to their own projects or write-ups here and elsewhere, but is there any single excellent resource for learning how to do this?

I've a number of dead and/or proprietary formats that I've always wanted to crack open, but I'm totally overwhelmed with where to start.
Sooooo... C? You didn't answer the question and I would be surprised to hear that freaking Java had support for distributed compilation, and that has been around since the 90s.

Sorry to clarify, an email is only ever a Message. It should not be treated as a Task (IMO).

Sender = Contact

Email = Message

Recipient = Contact

Email may contain an invite to a meeting = Event

Meeting room, coordinates, address or whatever of the meeting = attach Location

Email may ask you to do something before meeting = derive a Task

Audit trail item of you archiving the email = Log

Email Template that you use in your reply = Blueprint*

Rule to send an email at a certain time = Blueprint*

* Blueprints are just nested conditionals if you think about it... The subtype 'Templates' are nested conditionals without* a trigger IF (it's just a 'do', not an 'if then do'), and the subtype 'Rules' are nested conditionals with* a trigger IF (if else etc. then do)

> In order not to hamper innovation or research, this Directive should not apply to free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code and modified versions, that is openly shared and freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable. However where software is supplied in exchange for a price or personal data is used other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software, and is therefore supplied in the course of a commercial activity, the Directive should apply

Wheather sponsors/patreon means "outside the course of a commercial activity" would likely be for courts to decide. It could mean that you only work on something that is "sponsored"... yeah, that would likely be covered. Getting few euros with no obligations hopefully not. But ultimately, it's a chilling effect, until some court decides.
It’s a successful propaganda campaign. There are many people that wrongly believe that “natural sugars” are somehow better/more nutritious. (My mother is one, and eats way too much fruit and fruit juice because “it’s natural!”)
Does Amazon test any other product in its marketplace? I mean, other than Amazon-branded products. That seems like an odd expectation. I don't expect Amazon, or Ebay, or Aliexpress, or even Walmart.com to physically test anything. Mostly I expect them to give me quick shipping, cheap prices, and hassle-free returns or refunds if I'm not satisfied.
This is wonderful, thank you!

One little edit I made was to add this after class="missing":

title="Nothing here, yet."
So now you've erased the record of your actual process, that might be revealing later to someone who's trying to figure out what the heck you were thinking, for the sake of trying to create a history that looks more linear or tidy than the reality of what happened, and, if you're not running tests and re-evaluating all the intermediate steps along your history, introducing the possibility that you've invalidated something that worked at one of those points in history and no longer does after you rewrite it.

This strikes me as a crazy fastidiousness over making your history look the way that you want it to look, rather than preserving the actual history, which is detrimental to the value of being able to find out what actually happened when something goes wrong.

I wonder if that's just journal style?

Some of the P values in the paper are significant at levels that would survive almost any amount of multiple testing correction. E.g., in Table 3, the P value for DairyCheese is P=1.3E-139.

While I agree that the "strength" of the P value is not the thing of interest (which is, generally, the magnitude of the effect), the probability that you'd see results like this if there was no relationship between transaction size and the dairy category is ~0.
That is effectively what the GPT4 based AI Assistant is doing.

Except when I did it, it was python and pandas. You can ask it to show you the code it used to do it's analysis.

So you can load the data into R/Python and google "how do I do xyzzzy" and write the code yourself, or use ChatGPT.
that's part of it. and is the basis of the classic tannenbaum v. torvalds debate, but only part of what i mean.

it would be interesting if there were some kind of write protection on the process-privilege data where some effort is made to verify the provenance of updates before they're allowed to go through or maybe even the whole privilege table is centralized and signed.
I disagree though. If a task is boring and repetitive, I just won't ever do it. So the comparison for people like me is:

"spend X time to automate this task vs not do the task at all".

Whereas the xkcd is like (n = frequency that you do the task):

"Spend X time to automate this task that takes Y×n time normally and get it down to Z×n time, vs spend Y×n time to do the task"
You can say the same thing about sex and contraceptives. It's probably way easier to abstain from sex than food. Yet no one is blamed for taking 'the easy way out' and using contraceptives instead. Why the double standard?
