yes! i agree with you 110%.

there have been a lot of little prizes and awards to collect at some places i've worked. sometimes people had to interview for those awards. and i always wondered how much unnecessary damage we did to the morale of the people who didn't win the awards.

and i'm big on fairness. it's a challenge to make sure Performance Reviews are as fair as possible, especially with larger teams. you think it's obvious who is a good worker and who is a bad worker right up until you have to manage a large team.
Oh also I just realized something!

The reason it had to be Fedora was because I can't do this with Debian or Ubuntu. Fedora had the tech but I still enjoy the Ubuntu/Debian part of the OS. Since distrobox exists I can replicate a reasonable facsimile of the native distro with an ubuntu container and a more ubuntu-like desktop.
I'm confused. De-loading carbs for fat makes sense for overall wellness and health (since healthy things tend to be fatty and/or low carb), but it is not possible to "manage" T1 without insulin treatment.

The fact that either he or this article does not seem to distinguish between the two types in this regard is a basic category error.

The low carb "managing" of T1d before the 1920s was basically a permanent hyperglycemia which you could last months, maybe years. Once your honeymoon period ends you die a spectacularly brutal death -- your blood turns to acid and you starve in insatiable hunger. None of this is "manageable" through diet, since your body has a baseline rate of gluconeogenesis entirely independent of diet.

Type 1 and Type 2 sharing the "diabetes" name has to be up there on "most frustrating lexical errors" ever.
AI to hit 40% of jobs and worsen inequality, IMF says
I feel like a lot of people are not aware of the tools that are available and they keep building the same thing over and over... or, the other amazing thing missing a feature and this thing now has this feature but lacks completeness of other etc, etc...

Which means we are doing two things bad: composability and informing us.

What do you think?
Our family experience is that we stop about every 4 hours, usually limited by the size of the fuel tank. Because I have an EV and a gas car (gas car for road trips), I timed several of our fuel stops on a recent trip. Most were 11-14 minutes, measured from driving onto to off of the gas station property. I tend to do most of the driving, and 11 hours a day is around what I feel comfortable doing. That happens to be the door to door wall-clock time for our trip to my in-laws (766 miles). I'd pay a fair amount to avoid adding another 60-90 minutes to that trip.
He ranks at the very top of Brady Haran's guests. It's been at least a year since his last appearance and I hope he comes back soon.

I especially like the one with the acoustic modes of the coffee cup. My only wish is that he had spun the cup and discussed how the tone changes. The nodes move in a way that's not intuitive and that fact can be used to make gyroscopes!

The main difference between X and Y is in the indirect addressing modes.

You can use X as an index when you are looping through an array of pointers.

You can use Y as an index when you are looping through an array, where you have a pointer to the beginning of that array.

There are also a couple operations that always use X as a source or destination. There’s TXS/TSX, but no TYS/TSY.

A good rule of thumb is that if an exploit doesn't drop pin-compatibly into a pre-existing business model that has repeatedly used similar exploits in the past, it's worth nothing in a "commoditized" vulnerability market --- the kind HN tends to think of in these stories ("Zerodium" being the most common example). You can theoretically find someone who will listen to your story and give you money, but at that point you aren't so much selling a vulnerability as helping plan a heist.

I could be wrong about this, but I've been loud about it around people who do a lot of this stuff and none of them have dunked on me in public. :)

I think mostly just the iPhone exploded it, and also made a lot of things much more low effort. Like take for example people constantly posting photos of themselves and food and what have you on social media - pre iPhone high quality photos required a separate camera and a computer in order to upload onto social media. Post iPhone you could do it all from one device.

That is literally just false. That quote comes from "Critique of the Gotha Programme", and what it really means is that people have unequal capabilities and unequal needs, so that what people should receive cannot be equal, instead, it should follow from needs and abilities. In that text, Marx explains it by saying:

"one worker is married, another is not; one has more children than another, and so on and so forth. Thus, with an equal performance of labor, and hence an equal in the social consumption fund, one will in fact receive more than another, one will be richer than another, and so on. To avoid all these defects, right, instead of being equal, would have to be unequal."

"But one man is superior to another physically, or mentally, and supplies more labor in the same time, or can labor for a longer time; and labor, to serve as a measure, must be defined by its duration or intensity, otherwise it ceases to be a standard of measurement. This equal right is an unequal right for unequal labor. It recognizes no class differences, because everyone is only a worker like everyone else; but it tacitly recognizes unequal individual endowment, and thus productive capacity, as a natural privilege. It is, therefore, a right of inequality, in its content, like every right."

"The elimination of all social and political inequality,” rather than “the abolition of all class distinctions,” is similarly a most dubious expression."

Lenin also says:

"Even the most dull-witted and ignorant person can grasp the fact that individual members of the nobility are not equal in physical and mental abilities any more than are people belonging to the “tax-paying”, “base”, ‘low-born” or “non-privileged” peasant class. But in rights all nobles are equal, just as all the peasants are equal in their lack of rights."

"It means giving all citizens equal opportunities of working on the publicly-owned means of production, on the publicly-owned land, at the publicly-owned factories, and so forth."

Marx absolutely was opposed to equality of outcome, and had a lot of conflict against other leftists on this point. He was against class as a source of inequality, but he recognized that people have unequal capabilities and unequal needs.

I'm not a Marxist, but I actually read a bit of what he wrote - the difference between the words people typically put in his mouth and what he says is gigantic. This is an example. Marxism was a successful ideology over other leftist ideologies is in a huge part because it did recognize that people aren't equal, and that it based it's critique on capitalism on far more than that.
I think this paper is well-intentioned, but is trying to treat the symptoms rather than the cause.

The paper focuses on microservices, and then tries to avoid claims of "they just don't like microservices" by describing the ways in which microservices are improperly used. Do they go back and compare this to monoliths or other architectures? Nope; it's really just "hey I have another microservices idea", heavily gilded. They mention "monolithic applications divided into logically distinct components", but you could just claim your microservices are divided into logically distinct components.

They also seem to completely ignore the problem that a logical separation doesn't mean your components are better off. In a complex system, often completely separate components still need to be integrated together in order for the system to function at all, much less operate efficiently. It's not a design flaw to combine different things. It depends on the application. So just separating things logically isn't some scientific computing advancement, it's just categorization.

In reality, their solution (a "single binary business logic application" and "an interface that can combine them") is literally a description of shell scripting with Unix tools. Don't get me wrong, that obviously works great, since it's been popular for 44 years (older than IPv4). But if you want to come up with some kind of modern paradigm for distributed computing, maybe we should flush it out a bit more. What we have here is a Google engineer's attempt to make a paper suggesting we make shell scripting for the web, without much to show for it.

(Personally, I think the more people try to control the interface, the worse things get. The best and most long-lived solutions in all of computing have had almost no interface at all; a raw TCP stream, 3 raw file descriptors, a set of random arguments, and a set of random key=value pairs, have enabled all modern computing paradigms to flourish)
Since our bodies evolved to produce inflammation, it must have some positive effects. Chronic inflammation, however, can very well be deleterious.
There's a standard formula for calculating your A1C based on your average glucose level. If you get a dexcom G6, (about $200), you can monitor your glucose levels constantly, and know what your A1C will be. The app gives you rolling averages for 2 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days.

Extremely useful. I'm not a T2 diabetic, but did have a slightly elevated A1C at my last physical. I asked my doctor for a prescription for a CGM, she gave me one, and it has been a huge help in learning both how food effects my blood sugar, as well as how blood sugar effects my mood.

I think everybody regardless of their current health should have one of these things. Blood sugar is a fantastic look into sorts of aspects of your health.
At least in the US, voting is also meaningless due to things like the electoral college.
> There isn't more news now than 100 years ago, so how do you feel all that time and how do you keep someone engaged?

So, I agree with your point, and I also agree that there isn't enough news to fill 24/7 coverage... but there is definitely more news, or at least more news that may be of interest to any given audience, than 100 years ago because we live in a more globally connected society where issues in another country can absolutely have direct impact on us because manufacturing/materials sourcing became something that now happens on a more global scale.
We already have a great interstate transport network that reaches every address, and where this cargo already travels.

I don't know what building a second parallel railroad system to take over this task would cost, but I'd guess several Iraq Wars.

Making the trucks autonomous doubles their utilization, which means we need half as many trucks, and makes freight cheaper, which makes prices lower, benefitting everyone, especially the poorest.

This is never the start of a insightful argument!
To me, The 6502 kind of represented best-of-breed but a bit of a dead end. I couldn't see a 16-32 bit story. It's like it hit the spot, and stopped growing.

The 6800 begat the 68000. It had virtual memory management. That launched ten or more models of workstation and hit the magic '3M' window: a MIP, a Megabyte of memory and a Million pixels. 68000 led to SPARC because Sun decided to go into the RISC business itself.

I used Motorola workstations alongside Sun, for a Cray-1 project I was on the periphery of: they were the ones Cray shipped to us, passing the Cray-1 on from another customer (Boeing) and they were fine, if remarkably (physically) large machines. Like they'd got the idea of "this is a workstation" in the Microvax era, and never quite shrunk down.

I had a 6502 box (the Acorn Atom, a precursor to the BBC micro) and I used others, But I kind of wished the 6800/0 series had been bigger, and we'd been in that world more than Intel. it was nicer. it felt nicer. It felt like an instruction set Gordon Bell would have liked. It made sense if you came from a pdp-11.

Maybe I'm addicted to network byte order computers.

I don't think there's much incentive for businesses to move to Pi 5s. Unless they need the power, which most applications probably don't, I imagine businesses would stick with Pi4s until there's a supply built up.
A Musical Education (Just Not the One I Expected)
I wouldn't describe my diet as "keto" (I don't think of it as a "diet" at all.)

I am aware of carbs though. Specifically though the difference between "sugar" carbs and "starch" carbs. I try and minimise sugar carbs (I haven't eliminated them) and I do starch carbs "in moderation". With cheat days for both. I'll happily enjoy a good desert when eating out. I'll have a pizza now and then. I love re-fried potato. I only very occasionally drink soda. I don't take sugar in coffee.

Each change has been introduced slowly. I stopped taking sugar in coffee. It took about a month to adjust. Now its just how it is. I reduced bread (oh man, I love good bread..) Over time I've come to enjoy a bit less, a bit less often.

My weight is trending down. I'd like to lose 15 lbs, but I'm happy if it takes all year to do it.

Yeah, I understand that in the US the rail is actually owned by cargo train companies, so they give their trains priority.
Yes, and this app adopted it as well. There's a toggle in app settings for Material 3 v.s. the old Material 2 right now, and there used to be one between Material 1 and 2.
Not all locomotives are equal, electric is much quieter than diesel

Both older DC and newer AC trains are effectively silent when coasting on a straight

The main sources of noise are cornering and braking. I live in a rare city that has narrow gauge for all of our rail, and am less than 200m from the busiest corridor in our state

I regret chosing an apartment on a tight bend (narrow gauge's bends are especially loud)

But if I were to live 500m away parallel to the track (as in, still 200m away from the track) the mostly AC electric trains going by every few minutes would be largely inaudible (<40dB)

My main point is tracks aren't loud, tight corners and areas around stops can be loud

I fear city planners aren't testing their decisions closely enough, though

When a device has been abandoned by the manufacturer, it's time to open it up and make it do things it wasn't designed to.
Postgres is dear to me. Met its founders when I was in college at Berkeley, worked heavily with it at a previous company around 2015, used it for all my own projects. I'm glad to see it getting more attention lately (seemingly).
Pre-COVID it was 2-3 days. Now it's been years since I've gotten anything in less than 7, although lately it's been closer to 10. That's with a paid prime membership, too. There's not even options to purchase extra fast shipping anymore. I used to be able to pay for 1 day and get it in 3-4 at least, but they took that option away.

Walmart has next day, and most 1st party e-stores are 2-3 days, so it really just seems like an Amazon problem. (Montana)
That's the problem, it's just search. If search was the answer, Google would of achieved AGI long ago. The problem is there's no intelligence. In some situations it can find semantically similar content, but that's it. The intelligence is completely missing from the RAG mechanism, because it's not even part of the model itself.
Material Files also allows you add a shortcut to the stock file manager (DocumentsUI), using "Add storage" > "Android/data" from app drawer. You may even manually edit the shortcut to point to a specific subdirectory inside Android/data, and I plan to make that easier (so that you don't need to manually URI-encode your path if you edit) in an upcoming version.
This guy ARCs
FWIW, after reading some other articles on the riots (easy to Google for), it's not clear to me the situation is as cut and dry as The Register article is making it out to be. That is, while the government is definitely blaming the initial docking of pay on "a technical glitch", the security services are basically saying this was a deliberate docking of pay.

I have no idea what really happened, but I do think that calling this a mere "technical glitch" seems pretty unlikely. The paychecks went out all over the entire country, and in many cases people's paychecks were half what they expected. I have to think somebody would have noticed before all the paychecks went out of it was just a case of "Whoops, the tax rate automatically reverted."

To be clear, I definitely think it's possible it actually was a clerical error, but it's definitely premature to take the government's explanation at face value.

I stream TV and music over the intertoobs all the time. It works fine. The bandwidth on a home network is much higher, so it should be fine.
Why quotes. Your file manager is just feeding readdir into tableViewDataSource, and your video player is just feeding video files into ffmpeg and then connects its output to a frameBuffer control. Even your restaurant is just feeding vegetables into a dish. Most products "just" do something with existing technologies to remove the tedious parts.
I don't know much about the Raspberry Pi situation. Are they using existing designs? Are they doing things like fabbing extra cores to increase yields? I assume they're on an older process anyway. I don't necessarily feel Raspberry Pis are low quality – they're low spec, but I believe the ones I've had in the past seemed good, although I guess there's less stuff to be low quality (vs Steam Decks having a large amount of not-great plastic, control surfaces that fail in very noticeable ways, etc).
I want my kids to go where they want to go. If that happens to be Ivy, so be it. If that happens to be MIT/Caltech/Stanford, so be it.

When parents lament or worry about their kids not being able to get into Ivy League schools, I think it's less about those specific eight institutions and more about whatever selective college they might want to attend.
They're claiming that the runtime will figure it out for you.

It wouldn't be too surprising if this is the sort of thing that an optimizing compiler or query planner could do better than a human.

If not, you're probably at the scale where performance regressions are caught and rolled back at early phases of rollout.

Like most magic, it's either going to make things 100x better or 100x worse, depending on how leaky the abstraction is at its current state of maturity.
In the USA most railroad are owned by the railroad company. When Amtrak wants to use a piece of rail they pay the railway.

But the USA is VAST. Freight trains are LONG. Not much of America's West is actually double track. And when you have a shorter Amtrack and a long freight train the Amtrack loses. The Amtrack has to wait until the freight train has passed.

As the freight trains run on PSR [1] there is no fixed time as to when they pass and thus the Amtrack can not run reliable.

As such it is easier for me to drive from West Los Angeles to Las Vegas, or even to drive to LAX and then fly to LAS than it is to take the train.

I recognize that pattern of behavior because I've done something similar at times myself. Or at least, in my pattern it was this: what's done is done, confronting it will just create a lot more drama for me, and I don't feel confident in wading into a fraught social situation anyway. I'm much more in my element working on technical problems. So I let the social thing go and go work on the technical thing. This is not always a healthy thing to do, but to me it's not in the least weird.

That being said, never assume that no response from someone means someone doesn't care. I felt awful when dealing with situations like this. If this were my project, I would probably be extremely frustrated and more than a little bummed, whether or not I thought the fork was understandable.

Those are not things that are constructive to air in public, though, and I think it is a mark of leadership that Walter's dialogue remains as calm and polite through all of that thread as he usually is.
Oh, I bet you'd have loved the TMS 9900. Tons of registers with switchable windows, mini-computer oriented ... and big-endian.

It does, it's called DocumentsUI and provides the system file picker. However its main entry point is often hidden, and imo it's still somewhat suboptimal/limited in certain aspects. But it's the only way to access the private Android/data directory right now.

Material Files also provides the ability to easily open DocumentsUI for browsing Android/data.
Escaping from isolated networks using Broadcast DNS
My preference is Fedora XFCE Spin. I'm easy to please, though.
You know what's funny. In one of the startups, we did bring in a TV crew to shoot commercials on us working. The commercials were aired before the product was half way ready. In one of the product demos in a trade show, the CEO was clicking on the software and I was sitting behind the stage inserting rows into the database on cue to create the illusion that the product was working since it was way before alpha.
That seems extremely reductive...
Maybe. In my experience over the last few years of doing a lot of long haul flying in economy, there's not much difference in seat layout between airlines though, it's mostly about the plane you're on. A380s have nice big seats, the rest are pretty similar. The pressurisation and quality of air conditioning on the other hand makes a big difference to my quality of life personally, and that's noticeably worse on 777s.
Would love to watch/read any sources to better educate myself about things you believe Huberman gets wrong.
I generally agree with this reasoning, but your example could use some scaling down to convince a reader.

1 cent cheaper would net Sony a total of 500K USD for all PS5 units sold till date. So about a hundred PS5 units at retail as pure profit. A company of the size of Sony for a product of the scale of PS5 would absolutely forego that profit if the alternative offered any tangible benefits at all.
