Thanks for this article.

I agree. I wanted to explore "graph pageing". The problem with computer screens and large graphs is that they're awkward to navigate because the viewport is smaller than the graph, and you can only scale the entire graph so much. You could pan around a large graph but it is not ideal, it's kind of awkward.

I wrote a graph layout algorithm here but it makes no attempt to prevent overlapping.

I would like to write an algorithm that "pages" a graph and when you scroll it composits different nodes in-and-out as you scroll.
In short: Zig can (and does) fix C warts from the ground up because it doesn't need to be backward compatible with C, while still getting the essence of what makes C useful (many other new languages don't get this important part). The biggest advantage over C for day-to-day coding is probably the much more complete and useful stdlib. You also don't need to "switch", mixed C/Zig projects are well supported by the Zig language and build system. Having said that, I still write most new code in C (C99 designated init is still superior to what Zig has to offer for struct initialization), but at least there's now a worthwhile alternative on the horizon to switch to in the future.

Unless the developers used notification channels (on Android) correctly, then I can disable only the "spam" channel, and not the "messages" channel.

Quite right on "Only a tiny imbalance is enough for a person to get overweight". Quick mental experiment: say I overeat 1 apple per day, that's ~ 90 kcal, that's ~= 10 grams of fat x 365 days == that's 3.65 kg per year. Over a course of only 10 years, that's extra 36.5 kg of weight I'd put on! From an imbalance of only 1 apple per day.
On the quantum mechanics requirement - do you not think a dedicated team of experimenters could get quite a long way by systematic trial and error, without a deep theoretical understanding?

To take a simplified example - did Thomas Edison have a deep understanding of what was happening in a lightbulb filament? Or did he just try 10,000 different ways to make a lightbulb until he converged on a good one?

Good to know that steampunk could have been practical!

I think a good solution for this problem would be to discard all routes where cars take more than twice the expected time. This would result in loosing some legitimate trips (could be stuck in traffic), but by adjusting the threshold this could be alleviated.

TLDR from a memory of watching this video a couple of months ago:

Despite many attempts at various musical notation systems, they all have trade-offs. Detractors of standard music notation aren't always forthcoming with the trade-offs of alternatives, if they even suggest an alternative. Due to the nuances and complexity of music, standard music notation is about the best system we have iteratively developed over the past few centuries to describe music in a way that is cross-compatible with so many instruments and techniques.
Well, the internet is not what it was.

It was an explosion of individuality, new information - I found this highly beneficial to personal growth. It is now a series of corporate sandboxes connected by steep-walled corridors, with each individual's actions bent and monetised for the benefit of others. The promise of the future is even worse - an ai that will curate a custom reality for you.

But then, who wants that? If that's it, may it die a quick death or at least let its offerings be recognised as largely irrelevant to people, like the some unhinged communist uber television channel.

'Poor Charlie's Almanack' (and the Tragic State of E-Books)
I've got a motion alarm on my bicycle, which is in the same vein I suppose. If my bike gets jostled it'll first do quite a stern beeping. If it keeps getting moved after some seconds it will produce a LOUD alarm. If nothing else it'll annoy any potential bike thieves.

Of course any thief with an angle grinder can easily pop the metal zip ties the alarm is attached with, but then an angle grinder is probably going to be louder than the alarm in any case.

My tactic has always been to make my bicycle slightly more annoying to steal than any of the bicycles next to it.
Procrastination or accrasy ?

Anecdote:

My grandma is 92 (will be 93 in February), has always eaten a lot and never did any exercises except walking on the street. She used to be a school teacher and walked to work.

I don't know how many calories she takes, but always eats until full Here's an example of what a typical breakfast looks like:

- 2 eggs fried with butter
- 2 breads with butter and cheese
- couscous
- cooked bananas
- coffee with milk and sugar

She's somewhat above weight, but otherwise seems pretty OK. Has some dementia, but nothing out of ordinary for a 92
The two I know the most, muslims and indians, seem not to follow "fasting type diet". Instead, they eat an enormous amount of fat, grow curry bellies, and look just as unhealthy as the scummiest american atheist...

However, where I live in Hong Kong, they eat a lot of fish, vegetable and low amount of trash food, and live very old. But they're also very rich in general so hard to be sure of the cause.

What culture/religion were you thinking of ?
He does look strange- it's mainly his hair I think. It looks fake and alters his whole look. His body is outwardly in great shape.

Vlang is infamous for crowdfunding on the back of many extremely grandiose, but not actually implemented claims. The poor quality of what did exist was very evident as well. It also had at least a few keyboard warriors associated with it who would play motte and bailey up and down every comment section. I can't speak much to the present state, but I suspect only a few people view it in any serious light.
I really appreciate what this project is going for. SQLite with practical replication gets to be pretty dangerous for other vendors in the space. It's the last thing we really needed for our end game customers.

Unfortunately, our org is being pushed away from SQLite because our domain is highly regulated. We have a really hard time getting something like this through technical review, especially for our up-market clients. The only thing I could defend is if this was somehow part of the first party solution and code base.

I can sell SQLite to a bank if they are tolerant to single node failure semantics (I.e. vm snapshot restore). That part is no problem. Already did it half a dozen times myself. It gets tricky if they want more aggressive RPO. I cannot sell log-replicated SQLite if it relies on another, lesser-known 3rd party for that capability. I can get away with murder on my front end vendors but data vendors never seem to escape scrutiny.

I want to hate SQL Server, but it's starting to grow on me. The knowledge that I won't have to argue with a hundred+ CTO/CIOs is starting to win out over the principled nerd things.

Replicating SQLite feels like a cursed thing for many contexts - If someone isn't happy with periodic snapshots, then the nature of their business is probably pretty serious and they probably want deeper (perhaps legal) guarantees about how things would go.
I was obese before I lost weight (now BMR 21).

I calculated, that my obesity amounted to 1 teaspoon of sugar extra, every day.

Our bodies are excellent, miraculous regulating machines if they can stay within those tolerances regardless of what kind of shit we put in.

The bad news is, for everybody who wants to lose weight, that we have much less free will when it comes to eating than we think. To lose weight long term we need to fix whatever caused the regulating machinery to malfunction as we can't really eat less (over long term).
Here's a Kagi summary:

Notation Must Die explores the history and criticism of modern Western music notation. It discusses early Greek, medieval and Renaissance notation systems and how Guido of Arezzo standardized staff lines and solfege in the 11th century. Mensural notation was then developed to notate rhythm and meter. The video examines attempts to reform notation over centuries and alternative systems proposed but argues standard notation remains dominant due to its balance and universality. An interesting aspect discussed is how notation is sometimes seen as elitist despite being accessible with education. While no system is presented as a clear replacement, the video shows notation continues evolving with new adapted forms developed for different musical styles.

Indeed. I still use Uber from time to time and don't want to have to wait around reinstalling it, so I took the time to go through the settings and disable this crap. The Uber eats app got the boot, though. I only ever used it like twice anyway.
Wow thanks, I really needed to see a hello world server example
Not necessarily. It's still possible there are confounding factors that led to it's success, unknown to all implementers and observers. Maybe there are other pre-requisites to the success of the implemented education system.
That sounds way too high. Calories burned are equal to co2 exhaled. If you walk two hour a day breathing twice as fast as when you are resting you are burning 26 units of calories daily instead of 24. That's not 30% increase.
To add to your point, even if CR is proven to be beneficial, it would be very difficult for the majority of people to get CR right. More likely they'll end up restricting too much in the short/medium term, feel weak w/ no energy during this period, and will start to compensate by overeating later. Rinse and repeat.

It's such a delicate balance to maintain that without significant investment into monitoring, you're better off just consuming substantial amounts of complete protein and proper omega fat ratios + complex carbs. No need to overcomplicate things for the greater population.
I'd love a list of other services like this - or even more ambitiously executed than this - globally. I'd bet there are some really interesting uses of open transport data.
I posted this because I agree, E-Books suck - and I was hoping for some insight on why that is.
To be honest, the best benchmark you can run is your own training code. Everything else is a guess.

When I tested the A6000 against the H100, there wasn’t that big of a boost from the newer card. Perhaps GPU operations weren’t the bottleneck in that case.

I don’t understand this pervasive fear of death in the tech community. Yes, one day we are all going to die. Yes, one day the human civilization itself is going to die. The entire universe will die too. So what? We all knew this from the age of five or so.

By having a conversation with you. I'd point out your pride and self-satisfaction at being unselfish. If I knew of you more than that, I'd point out your selfish behavior. It's not hard, look at the clothes you wear, the car you drive, the cookie you ate, your grooming, and so on.
Yes, I went into a Costco recently with a friend and it didn't live up to the hype of it supposedly being better value. Some things were much more expensive, especially pet food.

It is irrational, but "feat" tells me the change is a marvel, something to be looked at. Webster says "an act or product of skill". Nah, it's a feature. "feat" sounds pompous. Shout it from the rooftops: everyone, this is a feat! Not a small feat. Aah. Feat.

"chore" is too vague for me. A "feat" can be a "chore" if I don't want to work on it. "chore"-s like the one you describe are occasionally feats (the no-quote kind).

Oh well.
This is only possible if the language is powerfull enough to express such things as library types, and the optimizer good enough to ellide them.

Looking at his brain health

https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com/#brain-health

It appears he has some brain markers such as white matter hyper intensities and ventricular volume that are older than his age of 46.

The Blueprint health protocol may end up giving people with healthy bodies but an aging brain, so they will be able to live many years with dementia (because the body is otherwise healthy).

Whether having a healthy body with dementia is worth spending all this money and effort for is an interesting question.

I would put money on a lot of these tricks first being used in games and then being 'rediscovered' by the robotics field.
I’m sure your visual analysis performed via a screen is more accurate than the dozens of tests he constantly has carried out by specialists in a lab.
Even if it does 100% work as advertised, the amount of details to follow in the protocol is insane. Half of the things there are probably placebo, the other half can be condensed into the less complicated solution.
I don’t want to die today, and tomorrow I’m not going to want to die, and the day after I’m not going to want to die, and so on. Therefore, I want to live forever — proof by induction on the natural numbers.
Interesting. Looks useful for the many sites that refuse to work unless I turn off my stalking preventer (or ad blocker as they call it) or have a metric shed load of clicks to not opt in or accept "legitimate interest" (will save me hitting back / close every time I see the "Admiral: Privacy and Consent Management Platform" logo, amongst others).
He frequently renews his skin through rather extensive skincare. In health terms, ideal skin has no sun damage or micro-scars/exterior damage and, therefore, is not surprising that he does look like some sort of vampire. I mean, the guy even transfuses blood from his kid.
My personal observation is that I also need to eat a piece of beef every other day at least because body doesn't have dedicated store for protein and if I forget to deliver it my body seems to take it from places like my joint and tendons.
I think it might be more useful for your students to learn about making simple GUIs with Dear Imgui or something similar, that make this type of stuff intentional and much more stable/foolproof. A large part of game dev is making tools appropriate for making the game and all of this falls into that.
Very disappointing, much less cuda cores than in 4090, no nvlink (32G won't be enough anyway), price x3 to 4090.
Content creation tools (Maya, Blender, in-house) are another good candidate. Any game level editor would much apreciate extra GPU memory :)
> that they lived in the communities they served

It is not just this. There are many small municipalities around the world where mayor/local council does not act like this. Most of things come down to voters. Their culture and breadth of views.
It is biggest trap for people who want to exercise to lose weight.

Because their bodies compensate by eating more and they are surprised they are not losing weight and they think that exercising does not work.

Which is completely wrong way to look at it. You want to get healthier to lose weight not lose weight to get healthier. And exercise is one of the best ways to help you get healthier even if it does not directly and immediately lead to losing weight.
Those tapes (which I sometimes describe as just the sticky part of a sticky note) are also great for labeling when you want something that takes ink/pencil more nicely than masking tape.

Benefits of Algae Oil: A Review of the Research (2022)
The ratios are insane. 9 desperate men for every 1 woman is the UK ratio. No "normal blokes" are getting laid in that scenario. And that's nothing new. You're 40 like me so I imagine you've been to a bar or a club. This ritual has been played out for a century. Same experiment, exactly the same results. The only variations are alcohol, drugs and mood lighting to help the Average Joe.

The problem isn't women. It's that you're competing for sex with a tiny pool of women in a contest on assets you do not have. [If you are, as many are who espouse these feelings] you're not involuntarily celibate, you're voluntarily picking a contest you cannot win.

The vast majority of women don't join these things, they meet people in their day-to-day lives.

I can barely imagine the damage you've done to yourself by throwing yourself on the stack for two thirds of your life, but you've got to see that even if you do occasionally luck out, it's not a platform for finding a life.
Sounds like torture to me. And the guy doesn't look healthy at all. More like someone who's about to start chemo.
$8 trillion is ambiguous and forces me to understand whether you're using long or short scale (particularly for me, coming from a long scale culture, it trips me up often) [1]. I've often wondered though why scientific notation or SI prefixes have never caught on for currency. 8 T$ or $8e12 feel both shorter and less ambiguous.

> To be honest, the best benchmark you can run is your own training code. Everything else is a guess.

Yes, but the point of a review with benchmarks is that it is expensive and time-consuming for a customer to acquire the hardware just to run their own benchmarks on.

Stable Diffusion and various LLMs are available pretty easily.

A simple benchmark that this version of stable diffusion/llm was used with these settings and this is how long it took to produce image/we got this many tokens/sec would be a nice comparison that you are in a good position to do with access to all the hardware.
The officers are busy. Last year nearly 800 cyber tips filtered through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Officers are carrying out search warrants on a weekly basis and some electronic files have been spread so widely that officers know their hash value by heart.

It’s difficult to say whether sexual exploitation and the spread of sex abuse materials has actually increased dramatically in recent years.

This whole article feels like a cute dog story with barely any journalism about something that is very threatening to the Internet. Was it was submitted to trigger debate about propaganda rather than on the merits of the reporting?

They are used extensively in embedded software. A device will be in one of several states - running, sleep, configuration, log download and so on. Each state is a C function (for me). I normally have entry/exit functions for each state too so that you set up/tear down the hardware needed for each.

As you add more states, you do not need to edit the existing states - well only the bits where you need to transition to the new state. This makes it much easier to maintain and reason about.

Each subsystem can be its own state machine too.
Yeah, whole article could be summed up with Mencken quote from 1920:

I'm pretty sure this is by design and the end result is as well.
Any recovery takes more time as you get older. Heck, if I exert myself I don't even feel the damage the next day like when I was young. It hurts on the day after the next.

Not sure about food though. I don't feel any different.
