I can't get a read on this guy. I have strong bullshit feelings, but I'm not 100% sure.

1. He seems to have an awful lot of referral links - $60 for a bottle of olive oil?
2. He has not posted why is his regime like that - e.g. "Here is a paper about iron deficiencies, so I'm taking an iron supplement".
3. 90% of his website is "look at how dense my bones are", "look at how healthy my liver is" - bro I just wanted to see the actual regime, and you can't even post that.

> restricted from what

From baseline. Which for almost every person is higher than is healthy.

> can't just avoid calories entirely

Who said this? Even the title says “eating less” not “starve and die.”
People like to believe in simple solutions for complex systems.
Most of that can be (and a lot of it was) resolved with artificial voices. There's no need for voice cloning, and certainly no need to make it widely accessible.
This seems to be targeted against copycat spam of known sites. I just want to remove some sites from my results because I hate them.
That 'best interest' can be anything you are interested in. Eg eating lots of chocolate, or feeding starving children in an orphanage.

People aren't even assumed to be rational. Bounded rationality is a thing that gets investigated a lot.
A government site has implicit authority. You could use that implicit authority to make a scam look more authentic. It also will have a lot of traffic; a lot of opportunities for the scam to work if you do manage to get in the middle.

For example, inject a dialog box that says "Our records indicate your taxes were not paid this year! Before you can view the weather you must click here and log in to resolve this issue!".
I’ll take that as it happens so infrequently with GPT4 you have no illustrative prompts that can be shared.

There have not been tons of papers written about this.

You seem to be conflating papers about GPT4 as a solver with it as a math tutor. It’s a completely different problem space.
Fortunately, Android has notification groups. You can disable notification for certain groups such as promotional notification.
It has been shown that caloric restriction works because it makes you absorb less iron.

Why not just say "eat baseline calories"? Assuming everyone is overweight is weird.
I'm not saying you should watch the 75 minute video, but if you don't, then you definitely shouldn't air your ignorant assumptions about its contents. You know, just in case you're wildly wrong.
But what is "this piece of copyrighted work"?

If they're filing a DMCA claim then it indicates that (a part of) the video they're filing a claim against is "this copyrighted work".
> In the same way as walking to the bank is dangerous because any party on the way can rob you on the way?

To make this analogy more fitting, you'd also need a big sign around your head "going to do some banking, carrying all necessary credentials, cannot tell legitimate bank from fake bank".

Still not a great analogy though.
So? it also doesn't scramble voice calls when you call their offices, I would think.
Back in 2013-15 I was fortunate enough to know some people at BoM, specifically done IT people.

Their off hand comment around why BOM didn't have https was due to the amount of overhead and infrastructure changes needed to make that https change.

Fast forward to 2018ish they recently created a new API, and a new website. Https://Weather.bom.gov.au with https enabled!
(which I now have integrated into a raspberry pi and an eink display for my morning weather).

For whatever (archaic) reason the new weather webui is now defunct but the api still exists, uses https, and as far as I know supports their mobile applications.

All it would take is for some ISPs here to mitm the traffic with ads / junk and maybe they would change it. The upside to this story is that it is currently a great site to visit for captive portal detection.

98% of Americans have access to fixed-line broadband, but only 62% actually have it. A significant proportion are fine with just having mobile and a small but fairly stable minority simply have no interest in using the internet at all.

There are certainly some remaining connection gaps in remote rural communities, but universal fiber coverage is the least cost-effective solution to that problem.

GitHub is experiencing a scam/spam problem
Just with the advent of the new year I started receiving weird spam emails and noticed that it was using GitHub under the hood. Scam is always the same fake BNB claim post that is posted below very old issues, tagging dozens of people. I hope that reporting these will actually contain the issue but I’m afraid of a new venue for spammers arising.
Ugh, I mangled some things in the above comment. Let me try again:

The only states whose residents have on average paid more taxes than they receive back in terms of federal spending from 2015 to 2021 are ~~NY~~ CT, NJ, and MA. ~~NH, WY, ND, UT, SD, VT, and NE (+$3,907~~ WA, NY, UT, CO, NH, CA, and IL (+$1,794 seven-year per capita average) are also in the bottom ten in terms of being closest to breakeven. To put another way, residents of all 40 other states get more federal spending per person than they pay in federal taxes, than IL.

Other people said it already that CTO may mean different things depending on context.

From my exp CTO in small startup is marketing tool and it does not mean real "the CTO". In small org CTO is simply "do it all in no time" type of job, that includes hands on coding, infrastructure, but also hiring, overseeing and managing people. You also need to understand code lifetime and methodology of your choice, how to use it to provide good enough time estimates. And all of this will lead you to be probably replaced once organization grows.

> ‘When two implementations support the same notional feature with slightly differing semantics, should the committee use undefined behavior to resolve the conflict so no users have to change code, or should the committee push for well-defined behavior despite knowing it will break some users?’

That's a false dichotomy. You could also use implementation defined behaviour. Or specify that these n behaviours would be valid.

'Undefined behaviour' is too big of a sledgehammer.
Stationary bike with automatic resistance and various apps to ride real routes or 3D ones with friends and family. I lost 2st last year without trying, which I gained during COVID. Now at 91% lean mass and in the shape of my life.

The key thing is finding people to be competitive and supportive with. My partner has been an excellent source of motivation as we are both very competitive in outdoing each other in time and power.

10 miles in an hour, do it a few times per week, you'll be on top of your self.
> Under no circumstances should FLAC level 5 decode be faster than FLAC level 0 decode.

I don't know about FLAC, but from my knowledge of compression, this result seems sensible to me.

Smaller file = less bits to process = faster. FLAC level 5 is expected to give a smaller file than level 0, so it makes sense that decoding it will be faster. Of course, it's possible that some codecs enable more codec features at higher compression levels, which makes decoding slower, so it's not always a given, but higher compression giving faster decode doesn't seem unreasonable.
What I've learned about flow fields so far

HTTP to HTTPS is FTP to FTPS.

Having an unhealthy body isn’t great and worth the extra pizzas.
Now you mention it, I only really see police cars around here - quite rare to see police walking.

I guess this is an effect of having built a digital panopticon. As pretty much everything we do leaves a digital trace and as one is oblivious to being observed (with observation potentially occurring in the future as automated agents run over data) the potential scrutiny changes behaviour. And that in turn allows for a decrease the number of police required to be physically present.
I do t think that people who “over eat”
Do so by so much that calries themselves count.

It’s the “strain” on the body by the excess fat that counts (heart pumping / clogged arteries etc)

So, let’s say someone over consumes 500 calries per day, or 3500 per week which is a 1lb of fat. Over one year that’s 52lbs or 3.7 stone - over 6 years that’s 300 extra lbs. There are very very few people who consume even at that level.

Over a 60 year lifetime there is not a lot of wriggle room if we think calries restriction is the way to go

I suspect it’s part of the “food is a class issue / some people are genetically disadvantaged / social taste as gatekeeper of power “ morass

I don’t think they want any of the ideological battles. They want people to write friendly little newsletters and don’t rock the boat too much.
> if it did work, we'd probably know already just by looking at existing centenarian populations.

This is a key point. Lots of people follow fasting type diets for cultural/religious reasons. Those groups are not over represented in existing centenarian populations.

Circumstantial evidences does not prove an effect, but if the effect is real then you would expect to see lots of circumstantial evidence that is compatible with the effect. Right now there’s nothing to even suggest that calorie restriction increases lifespan in humans.
> Why not just say "eat baseline calories"?

This is like saying “everything in moderation.” What’s moderation? The whole point is drawing the new baseline.

> Assuming everyone is overweight is weird

Again, straw man. Nobody said as much. What is suggested by the research is we eat and expend more calories than is efficient.
Imagine a major weather event is coming and a warning banner shows on the weather site telling you to stay off the roads. But some carelessly injected ad covers it, or the injected CSS makes it unreadable. You don't see it and suffer a crash.

Government communications should not be subjected to arbitrary modification by intermediaries. Ad injection on HTTP is (or at least was, when unencrypted HTTP was popular) common. It also raises the concern that the ad will appear to have government sponsorship, which invites scams and other malvertising.

A government agency should seek to communicate information with the public, especially safety information, via an untamperable communication channel.
I don't know: red seems to be the color of blood, a bad omen to witness. Green is the color of grass, quite okay. Blue is the color of the sky and yellow of the sun. Colors are not absolutely random I think, and could just as well cross cultural boundaries. But maybe "preferences" are sort of subjective: China really likes yellow and red a lot more than France for instance, even if they have the same meaning sort of (the red communist flag does suggest the blood of the people for both culture, for instance, and yellow does seem "valuable" for both as well - we like our gold statues just as much in both).
Key word: extra.

Any explanation for lacking NVLink other than having been purposefully crippled?
Because the way you treat your body has a lot to do with how enjoyable that ride is going to be for you. For instance, obesity is correlated with a whole range of different health problems. But your nutrition is also vital even if you don't gain a lot of weight. Take the extra cheeseburgers for instance, where we know that excess consumption of red meat can cause colon cancer, to name just one example.

Thomas Paine in Common Sense also describes that is preferable to have constituents from the places and with work in the community they live in. Congress only has 2 years for this reason as well, to be a reflection of the community they live in.

There are a ton of interesting facts and new things to learn etc. on the internet, but those don't interest your average person.

If you talk to for example a family member it's a case of this person had a new baby, that child is doing this now, uncle so and so did this and that...but you can't really reciprocate because they're not interested in the amazing time you had punching people off of cliffs in Baldur's Gate 3.

Boltzmann brain is just one of the theoretically infinite combinations of matter that can be randomly conjured out of the quantum chaos (with a very low probability). Our entire visible universe could be a "Boltzmann Universe", and we'd have no way of knowing it.

If that were the problem, then Electron wouldn't help in any way either. In fact, Electron is even less interested in platform conventions than something like Swing. There isn't even default styling that tries to copy MacOS/Windows that you can apply.

The bigger problem is actually desktop-mobile compatibility today. No one writes apps only for Windows and MacOS. You want an app that works on iOS, Android, Windows and MacOS, and typically on the web as well so people can occasionally access it from an unfamiliar computer. So, the only viable option unless you want to have 4 dedicated UI teams or so is to write it in the lowest common denominator of HTML/CSS/JS, and use Electron and WebView to distribute it.

To a very good approximation, no one whatsoever cares about platform look and feel. In fact, most people actively prefer if they're using an app for it to have the same look and feel across all systems where they use it, including the web.
>The author mentions, for example, that we know “providing free college to everyone would be a good idea”. But we don’t know this, and there are many other rich countries that don’t do it; in some, college is entirely unavailable to people who don’t enroll in the appropriate high school track.

We can change this however to "we know that massively cheeper or free college to anyone in the appropriate high school track is better" and it becomes true.
Yes, to a limited extend.

But monitoring calorie intake vs expenditure really does make a difference. I went through multiple cycles of controlled 10kg+ weight gain and loss, and I must say that just by walking extra couple miles a day while enforcing the calorie limit can make all the difference.

What doesn't work for weight control is just doing more sports - this is easily compensated by hunger.

Are you suggesting it's desirable to absorb less iron?
I find non-mulberry-silk ones quite bothersome texture wise, as opposed to pleasant.
Running every day is excellent for your knees.

Regular stress is causing things to get stronger.

Running every day can be not good for the knees, if you increase the volume too quickly without giving the joints and tendons necessary time to strengthen up, if you suddenly introduce too much stress (try to sprint when you have never done it before), if you don't sleep well or give time for them to recover, if you have bad diet or if you are sick for some reason and your body has impaired ability to recover.
There could be larger codebases that are under active development but contain some ancient source files that no one dares to touch any longer.

If the latest compilers were to stop supporting old code then some new code could be cut off from further compiler upgrades as well.

Or you could enjoy being more health along the way. Do you prefer decaying slowly from heart disease and diabetes, or going out with a stroke while jogging in your 80s? It's all a trade off.
I wonder if that's because of communism or because in any country with one party in power for too many years there is a drift to authoritarianism first and eventually to dictatorship. There are examples even in Europe and around it right now.

Of course communism as ideology cannot allow competing not communist parties. That would be heresy and the first years after the revolution in Russia 100 years ago show how it goes. Not communist parties are unthinkable by definition so yes, an ideological communist country sets the stage for dictatorship. A communist party in charge for only a few years in a democratic country, not much more than anything else.
This life force "Vril" is from a novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, best known in hacker circles as the author of the opening line "It was a dark and stormy night" and the namesake of the Bulwer-Lytton (bad) Fiction Contest.

At this pricing level, with this amount of RAM, I suspect a lot of use cases will be with ML and GenAI. Benchmarks for these use cases would have been interesting.
It's quite ironic, or rather unfortunate, that recently we're seeing the opposite problem in the Elixir community.

A lot of the big famous companies used in case studies about how Elixir and Phoenix are amazing, save money, save resources, save development time etc. are starting to abandon the stack for technically worse solutions. And for no good reason other than coming from management it seems.

I agree that it's a great platform for rewrites in that once you have a working solution, and you know the bottlenecks, then you understand how to break it up to make it concurrent, parallel and distributed with minimal effort.

I also think that it's a great prototype language too, though. You can get up and running just as fast as Ruby on Rails for like 99% of projects. Or at least used to be able to. I have a rant about the last five years of Phoenix churn being responsible for the low adoption of Elixir but that's for another day.
> That's funny, the people who are dumb and emotional in my entourage are those who are still completely afraid of COVID even after like, 5 boosters, even if they are in their thirties

I have a few friends like this, though to a lesser degree as their worries have disappeared by now.

> I guess my point is that I don't think antivaxxers don't believe in vaccines because they just want people to die, they don't believe in vaccines because they think it doesn't help people from dying. They actually believe vaccines don't work, it's not just pretend play. It's very very dumb, but I don't think that framing as is just not caring until stuff happens to them is helpful.

I wasn't trying to frame it as "all covid deniers just don't care unless it impacts their family" or something similar. It more subtle than that. And what I said was not supposed to be a generalization at all. It was specifically about my family members.

I do think some portion of all people fall into this group though. Yes, they might truly believe the covid vaccines do more harm than good. But also yes, they would immediately line-up for a covid vaccine if a close family member became hospitalized and visually looked bad. Nothing about the dangers of the vaccine changes in this scenario, and covid didn't suddenly become more dangerous to them. It just became more emotionally visceral. That's not desperation. It's straightforward emotional persuasion, and is the "feeling the pain" as originally commented about.

I do think there is many more social dynamics at play, but I don't feel confident in articulating my scattered thoughts on them well. How people adjust how they act based on social groups, or with very little information people form very strong opinions, how information bubbles impact what topics you see or how they're presented, etc.
Do you have any sources for this? And also, what’s wrong with absorbing iron? Increased oxidation or something?

I found this recent huberman labs episode particularly enlightening:

https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/controlling-sugar-cravin...

One of the key takeaways for me was the “calories in- calories out” (CICO) model of metabolism and weight regulation and how specific macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates), fiber and sugar can modify the CICO equation.

People tend to think that a calorie consumed is a calorie utilised irrespective of how the body actually processes that calorie.

The definition of a calorie is "a unit of energy equivalent to the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C (now often defined as equal to 4.1868 joules)." i.e not what our body is doing to our food when we eat it.

The example used in the episode is that of a handful of almonds, say, 160 calories. The fibre content of the rusk causes approx 30 calories of those almonds to not actually be digested by you but by your gut microbiome instead!
