Hm. You probably pushed the diet too far.

I went down from 93kg to 78 and then from 90kg to 78. I didn't go for low carb or sugar, just ensured enough protein and overall calorie deficit. Right now I am just carefully float around 80 kg.

This, and moderate excercise (kettlebells, some weightlifting, walking) made things relatively easy as I just made sure I stayed in an overall deficit.

One more point: it's the running weight average matters, not daily measurements.

> This content is fully generated by AI because fuck AI.

Maybe this is a language barrier, but what is meant by this sentence in particular? Why "generate with AI" (i.e. an LLM, most certainly not any form of "AI") if the author dislikes that so much? Wouldn't such a deeply held stance motivate someone to more heavily rely on consulting with experts in the fields of licensing and the current state of models rather than outsourcing such a project in its entirety to an LLM? In general, I can understand using an LLM for an initial draft when working on a project, then going over the output with some actual input from various expert sources, though not if one has major objections to the use and existence of LLMs in general. That just seems self-defeating.

Or am I misunderstanding something?
Yes, I was talking about the likelihood of widespread adoption, not the existence of the tech.

High-end video games is one of the niche uses where I do expect fairly widespread adoption.
There's a few comments (correctly) pointing out the massive flaws in this license, both legally and philosophically.

Those flaws probably exist because the text was written by AI, per the footer - "This content is fully generated by AI because fuck AI."
There's an api to update a Colab cell publicly available? That's wild. I thought for sure it would be locked down.

This kind of thing is the bread and butter of SaaS companies though.

It's also exactly the kind of thing companies _wouldn't_ use open source for because if the code gets the tax law wrong they have nobody to transfer liability to. Once you have a corporate entity backing a subscription service, insurance underwriters can understand what's going on and you can finally manage your risks.
Here's what I find extremely useful:

1 - very hit or miss -- I need to fidget with the aws api in some way. I use this roughly every other month, and never remember anything about it between sessions. ChatGPT is very confused by the multiple versions of the APIs that exist, but you can normally talk it into giving you a basic working example that is then much easier to modify into exactly what I want than starting from scratch. Because of the multiple versions of the aws api, it is extremely prone to hallucinating endpoints. But if you persist, it will eventually get it right enough.

2 - I have a ton of bash automations to do various things. just like aws, I touch these infrequently enough that I can never remember the syntax. chatgpt is amazing and replaces piles of time googling and swearing.

3 - snippets of utility python to do various tasks. I could write these, but chatgpt just speeds this up.

4 - working first draft examples of various js libs, rails gems, etc.

What I've found has extremely poor coverage in chatgpt is stuff where there are basically no stackoverflow articles explaining it / github code using it. You're likely to be disappointed by the chatgpt results.

Another piece of feedback: the link doesn’t look like a link any more. It wasn’t great before, but the verbiage made it adequately clear. But now it’s terrible, because the wording doesn’t suggest an action, and it doesn’t look like a link or a button. You should either restore its underline and lean into “link”, or give a background colour or (generally better) gradient and lean into “button”. But when it’s just a border, it doesn’t look like a button, especially when there’s a tick after it. And change the wording again.
Nobody alive today voted for any representatives that ratified the 16th amendment, either.

Prior to the Reform Act 1832[1], each town with a Royal Charter had the right to elect two burgesses to the House of Commons. There were numerous 'rotten boroughs', such as Old Sarum, whose two burgesses were chosen by just seven electors, the rest of the population having moved downhill to Salisbury in the thirteenth century, or Dunwich, once one of the most important towns in England, but now washed away into the North Sea. Elections were not secret, and in rotten boroughs, electors could be bribed individually. Manchester, a bustling settlement of one million inhabitants by the time of the Act, on the other hand, was not chartered, and consequently had no burgesses in the Commons at all.

> Let's take a concrete example: typing a quoted string. My go-to input sequence is to type " " [left], i.e., typing two quotes at once and then moving the cursor back into the middle of the two, ready to type the string itself: "|".

That's quirky, but works fine in VSCode (where auto-closing quotes is also configurable). I wonder what editor(s) the author was thinking of?
Spammers seem to be really lazy. The only time I’ve received spam on my own domain was when I changed servers and forgot to enable the Postgrey service. Grey-listing has been around for long enough (a couple of decades) so I would have expected spammers to be resending emails that are rejected with a temporary error.

So I wasn’t expecting Postgrey to provide much benefit. As it happens, in 10 years of running my own mail server, it’s the only anti-spam measure I’ve had to bother with.

I'd reframe that slightly: it's not that you are bad at using these tools, it's that these tools are deceptively difficult to use effectively and you haven't yet achieved the level of mastery required to get great results out of them.

The only way to get there is to spend a ton of time playing with them, trying out new things and building an intuition for what they can do and how best to prompt them.

Here's my most recent example of how I use them for code: https://til.simonwillison.net/github-actions/daily-planner - specifically this transcript: https://gist.github.com/simonw/d189b737911317c2b9f970342e9fa...

> it could have helped the flight attendants to quickly determine the exits that are safe.

For obvious reasons, ordering the evacuation, in conjunction with criteria such as which side and which doors is the Captain's job, or if the Captain is incapacitated, the First Officer. They will have access to far more data than the cabin crew will (e.g. whether the engines are safely shut down, circumstances on the ground thanks to radio contact etc.).

The Cabin Crew will not make the decision themselves unless they have been unable to establish contact with the cockpit (i.e. both flight crew incapacitated). In normal circumstances the Cabin Crew are only there to action the Flight Crew's orders.

I keep wondering when/if we'll see media that merely cites other work.

Why embed Nirvana in your show? Just have the video embed something citing the work, and let the viewer and maybe their player go track down & integrate the work.
For one thing, an evacuation is not something you begin to do the instant an accident occurs; it takes time to reach a physical state where evacuation is even possible at all. For instance, there is video footage from the inside of the A350 (taken by a passenger who was...you know...using their phone, and all 379 people on the board still exited in a timely manner). It took well over 10 seconds for the plane to even finish its landing roll-out post-collision and come to a stop. Handwringing over the fractions of a second that it took a passenger that was "paying attention" and someone that was looking at their phone or reading a book to realise that the plane had had an accident makes no sense. There is nothing either of them can do or should do until the situation has stabilised somewhat.

For another, taking the brace position is something you do with forewarning and instruction from the crew, and the circumstances that lead to that forewarning are very capable of capturing attention. Additionally, safety briefings are given when the plane is very firmly planted on the ground pre-flight (cabin crew may repeat/re-explain instructions like how to put on a life vest or how to properly take a brace position during an emergency if circumstances permit). And that's really the crux of it: the time for a passenger to pay attention is while they are being briefed or otherwise addressed by the crew, and while they can properly review their specific plane's safety information and setup. After that, there is literally nothing for the passenger to actively pay attention to.

Staring very hard at the seat in front of you or out of the window "in case something happens" is not paying attention to anything but your own anxiety. You can be prepared and be ready for alerts without literally sitting and doing nothing; the human brain may not be capable of a lot of things, but it is very capable of that much.
Me too, though I don't remember getting a key/coin holder with the disk. Strange to think of me indirectly buying peppermint schnapps at that time.
It's been a very long time since I ran a mail server, but for a decade or more I pumped all our outgoing mail through Hashcash because it gave a good boost to the Spam Assassin score. We'd crank it through the largest one, and it would add ~60sec to the mail delivery, unless we had a bunch of outgoing mail, but it was worth it I felt.
Tesla obviously has the US market sewn up, BYD leading the pack in China, but unclear whether either of them will win in Europe. Euro-China JV's might be in with a chance, VW launching an made-in-china marqued for Europe EV soon.
I read "When we cease to understand the world" a few weeks ago. I absolutely loved it. I am eager to read his next book now.
Since we are taking about license which should be accurate and clear in terms of definitions, "AI" might not be the right word to use.

Broadly speaking, AI encompasses much more than machine learning or deep learning. Wikipedia gives a good view of the goals and tools involved in AI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

For example, classic search algorithms like BFS and DFS are in fact considered "AI" in AI textbooks, academia and certain industries like games.

If you expand the definition of AI a bit more to include if else statements, then every modern program is probably an AI as well. And rightly so if we view them from the lens of 1990s.

So maybe you want to say machine learning to be more specific.
I am interested to see how copyright will stop companies from using copyrighted context pretraining AI model, then generating synthetic data by refining input data thus making a much stronger and not so verbatim data. It's illegal to use copyrighted material this way, but detection seems difficult. I really doubt they could prove that such model was created using copyright work, unless someone leaks this information.

From the looks of it that's been generated by `circo`, which is part of GraphViz and describes itself as a “filter for circular layout of graphs” and

circo draws graphs using a circular layout (see Six and Tollis, GD '99
and ALENEX '99, and Kaufmann and Wiese, GD '02.) The tool identifies
biconnected components and draws the nodes of the component on a cir‐
cle. The block‐cutpoint tree is then laid out using a recursive radial
algorithm. Edge crossings within a circle are minimized by placing as
many edges on the circle's perimeter as possible. In particular, if
the component is outerplanar, the component will have a planar layout.
If a node belongs to multiple non‐trivial biconnected components, the
layout puts the node in one of them. By default, this is the first non‐
trivial component found in the search from the root component.
I think you're maybe missing the point. My understanding would be something like:

My chances of being killed by a shark is basically 0%. But, if I'm in a shark cage surrounded by sharks the idea that some global probability is 0% isn't relevant. Something like that?
I had a conversation as an agent with a customer wanting to cut internet access in favor of just having people use their phones. She was confused by the fact that she thought the experience she had by using her fixed wired internet to provide wifi access to her phones was automagically a function of the devices themselves.

While slightly slow walking the process and explaining the disadvantages of this I manually shut down the connection to the modem without actually disconnecting the internet service. Her kids had successfully vetoed the operation before we could complete the disconnection.

Pew says of those who rely only on a smartphone rather than a broadband connection only 45% feel a phone does everything they need was true and only 23% said that was the most import reason. Other popular reasons included unacceptable speed, cost, and perhaps most relevant the 22% that said other options simply weren't available.

https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2019/06/13/mobile-techn...

I don't think its a stretch to imagine that uptake of fast fiber might be slightly higher than the 73% (not 62) with Home Broadband internet given that many have options that are both piss poor and expensive.
I did a careful read to find the three points I listed. Where is this fourth one given? I can't find it, so I assume you read it elsewhere?
Unless you've got triplets or twins + 1, three kids is a lot easier than two. They help each other out, work together, look out for each other, etc.

Some things are drastically more expensive, others are negligible. What annoys me the most is that most 5-passenger vehicles these days are actually just 4-passenger vehicles with an emergency-use-only 5th seatbelt. You're "supposed" to buy the 3-row 7/8 passenger SUV/Van. But then you have no cargo space because the third row seats aren't folded down.
My first thought was 'let's try it on resting-state fmri data'.
Interesting aspect for me is how's that data stored.
Cloud providers love to advertise that 'data is secured at rest and in transit'.
Also the same cloud providers provide key management for you.
Essentially situation is the same as is with the cryptocurrencies: 'not yours keys - not yours coins'.
Thus since cloud provider has both the keys and the data they easily can hand over that data to whoever court says so.
I am happy to hear everyone has plenty of free time to check all random internet open-source projects.

I’ve always wondered about that. When I hear recordings online they’re often so bad I wonder how there aren’t more issues.

Not really. Those are two areas you need to really understand when things go south.

In Kubernetes you "solve" a lot of application complexity by abstracting it into things like Helm Charts or Operators. It's fun and easy to use operators to deploy databases, monitoring, mesh, minio... This does not make complexity disappear, it just abstracts it by creating another layer with an interface (k8s API) you may be more familiar with.

Whole Kubernetes in practice is adding more and more layers on top of it. All those layers/tools are usually amazing but soon you need some real k8s skills AND some app skills to handle even unavoidable scenarios like ... upgrades.

That's why it's so confusing sometimes and has such diverse opinions on. There aren't many environments that run vanilla cluster...
