See I adore dogs and yet I can easily visualize and understand what your reaction would be like to having a dog around during your work day.

I find this or that sound a dog makes endearing- you find it annoying or worse. I find the mess a dog makes a mild inconvenience- you find it disgusting.

Instead of telling you you’re overreacting or that you’re being insensitive to people who are obligated for some reason to include their dog in your meeting with them, I can agree with you that you shouldn’t have to have dogs in your working life if you never chose this.

And it’s not me doing you a favor by accommodating your unique sensitivities; the default should be your version, not my version.
I think it began from the moment that I realised that I needed to study in order to become better.

That's when things became more deliberate in terms of focus, and I think in the process of doing that, is when things became more difficult to reason with.

But it's a catch-22. In the case of music, I felt demotivated making music, because it didn't sound like how I wanted to. But then focusing on study also demotivated me, because I wasn't making music and it felt like I was going off into another realm.
There is no guarantee that a country has to have a leading-edge aircraft manufacturer. On either the civilian or military side.

If companies lose too much money and don't receive bailouts, they simply cease to exist.

And you can't magic a new one on demand, given the specialized expertise and subcontractor requirements for something this complex.

So the reality is the government is stuck with a multi-variable optimization problem -- what combination of price, competition, and sustained R&D/production capability is best?

There is no easy answer. The modern, less-competitive, merged market is a deliberate consequence of the US refusing the spend Cold War levels of money to keep a larger number of manufacturers afloat.
That's not now wetsuits work. Neoprene is simply a good thermal insulator, largely because of the embedded gas bubbles. And the tight fit minimizes the amount of cold water that can flow into the suit. There is still some heat convection regardless of whether the suit is wet or not.
What's a kcal here? It doesn't seem plausible to me that a pound of muscle only takes 10 kcal (aka 1 Calorie, with a capital "C") per day to maintain.

Are you saying, for example, maintaining 20 pounds of muscle only requires consuming 200 Calories per day more of food?

Edit: According to the Internet, this is actually approximately correct, 20kcal/lb/day.

I must just have high metabolism, because I must consume more like 40kcal/lb/day or more to maintain muscle mass.

Cheers.
There are a few remaining, 3M has one, but much smaller.
Sure, but the bar for calling an article "probably bullshit" requires more than "well it looks at bit unaerodynamic" and introducing that argument as far down into a comment chain as you did instead of as a reply to the article is just strange.

> All the pictures in the article are the 2000W version while the article is making ass-pull estimates for a 4000W version.

This isn't clear to me? Perhaps the video makes it clear though, I haven't watched that.
A few points.

- The founder's didn't even believe in the Bible, likely including George Washington.

- Stated vs revealed preferences are complicated among politicians.

- being jewish clearly has an influence on politicians and businessmen who identify that way, and they often make reference to it. Can you give an example of a president or supreme court judge revealing that kind of influence? George bush doesn't even believe religion is the root issue in the conflict with the Middle East.
> If you are sedentary, intellectually inclined, and not cut out for a job in the trades, school may be good for you.

The intellectually inclined are also badly affected by school. The slow pace of learning stifles intellectual curiosity, and causes severe boredom. School is a nightmare that grinds them down while not allowing them to pursue their interests.

(Speaking for the UK, anyway.)
The prime reason for the Xserve line was to have a Mac Server that could go into schools' server closet to help manage all of the Macs in a school. It got sold in lots of other places for various things (e.g. that supercomputer at the time), but that was the overwhelming reason at Apple. The whole project long the things that got done on it were things that schools needed.

There are a lot of schools, but once you have one in each (that had a large Mac presence), there was not a lot of growth room. I was working at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) at the time, and we had a grand total of 6 in our data center (yes there were more on campus, but in ones and twos in departments), and no big reasons to have more.

And as much as I love working on MacOS, it (like Windows) is not well setup for use as a non-interactive node (e.g.: server or data processor node): the GUI gets too much priority, the filesystem is really slow to sync, and there are unexpected edges in setup.
Do you have any evidence of these claims? I have seen such tactics employed before (by Democrats and Republicans) but only rarely is there evidence of the altier motives.
An incomprehensible mess
Well, I think you definitely need a certain level of scale, but I think it definitely still works. Also, generalization and memory are two very different things. Generalization is basically iQ, which is very much still a work in progress.
children are taught to eat with a spoon. to tie their shoelaces. to read. to write. to play sports. to play an instrument. to dance. to perform a job. it takes effort, but the rewards are worth it, primarily for the children themselves. same with weight control via exercise and diet. it's learnable, and teachable. we can do much better, while being neither judgmental, nor defeatist.

> At this point, I knew I needed to eat 1000 calories/day less than I burned. I used this calculator to identify that, as a sedentary person, I burned about 2450 calories/day.

I've seen plenty of calculators like this around the web, and even seen calculators that estimate how many pounds per time you'll gain/lose depending on the activity level and food intake, but they never show their formulae or cite sources that give formulae. Does anyone know of reasonable sources for that?

I'd love to have a probabilistic model of "a group of people who eat X calories per day and weigh Y with Z body fat percentage, will weigh (in distribution) A +/- B with C +/- D body fat after T time period" or similar, but nutrition info is never written in that detail, even though these calculators must come from somewhere.
actually from a prompt engineering perspective it makes sense to use words like "please" because the llm is more likely to give better results (which it learnt from the texts it was trained on)

Zig's probably GP's best bet. Though its still developing rapidly, it sees production use already, so while it might be radically different in 10 years, it probably won't be gone.

Wow, 40kbs is fantastic progress! Congrats to your wife. I've lost around 15 lbs by run/walking on the treadmill every day. I started at around 20 minutes/day, now I'm up 30-45 minutes per day 5x/week and just watching my calories, especially the sugar intake.

Haha, yeah I think it's the "fanbase" around it (don't want to offend anyone). It's like that old joke, how do you know someone is (a vegan, doing keto, plays guitar)? They'll tell you. There almost seems to be people who want to turn these diets into a competition, oh you're keto? Well, let me tell you how crazy keto I am. Like dude, I'm just trying to not hate myself when I look in the mirror not win the Mr Keto award.
In a rather unpopular opinion, I think most people are more of a product of their environments than we like to believe. If you look at the rate at which social change happens and public opinion about certain topics, it happens much faster than new generations replace the old. A good example of this is with same-sex marriage. Opinion changed rapidly and I'm sure many have even forgot all the things said before Obergefell v. Hodges. Certainly new generations have new ideas and put pressures on the environment, but I think there's too much weighting in most people's models of how much change is held up and requires older generations to exit the decision making process.
Yes you quoted numbers. You quoted numbers that are hard to screw up and directly contradicted by the article (as to the watts per solar panel). A new throwaway account coming to the comments and claiming the article is making up easily verifiable information isn't worth anything - especially when they appear to be pulling numbers from nowhere. Doubly especially when I'm pretty sure solar panels of that size are in fact more than 100W.
Magnitogorsk has nice weather in summer. Some green parks, decent public transport. But not that much fun, westerners usually prefer university cities. It has very nice surrounding nature.

Polution is ok I guess (India and China were far worse from my experience). It is not industrial shithole as OP suggests. Factories were cleaned up over 30 years. And smoke stack are quite high and leave smoke in high atmosphere. And most of them use natural gas anyway...

Aren't those things all already handled by the city in most cities? (Except state universities, which aren't in many cities anyway.) That's why fire and police departments are named after the city they operate in, and mayors talk about fixing potholes.
Sounds contrived to me but I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Is there any evidence that women have more trouble with computer programs or are less well served compared to men? Even if so, wouldn't that require more female product owners etc rather than more programmers?

Starting around 50 years ago things like wood shop, metal shop, home economics, sports, economics, PE, and band started to lose funding. By about 20 years ago most schools stopped these programs. Teachers nowadays think almost exclusively in terms of students getting a college education, not some going into the trades, and some getting degrees.

This has led to many people being steered into college or university when they should really just be out working a job. Hence the 16 year number.

I am delighted this system worked out for you. It is perfectly valid for many. It is also a hellhole for many others.
> What kind of Democrat is going to vote for someone who believes vaccines cause autism...

Before COVID, I would have guessed the biggest reservoir of anti-vax sentiment was among very liberal Democrats (think the people who are super into yoga, organic food, and naturopathic doctors).

COVID became a culture war issue, which lead to partisan Democrats lining up on the pro-mask, pro-lockdown, pro-vaccine side, but I have no idea if that disrupted the views of existing anti-vax Democrats (of the "vaccines cause autism" variety).
> The ones that can't be named (in practice becouse too long to fit on a line or remember)?

Nah those are easy to name, just annoying, it's types which literally don't have an external / public name, like lambdas, or locally defined types.
German here, the farmer protests were very much in the news, however indeed with a more mixed sentiment and without numbers.

The protests seemed to be mostly focused on tractor rallies and blocking roads/intersections, as opposed to the pedestrian mass demonstrations we see currently. So I figure the number of farmers was probably much smaller, but more out of logistical reasons.
At my current company I love trying to come up with fun and creative swag ideas that are actually worthwhile and enjoyable.

Those numbers are bogus, sorry. The largest expense for any worker is having a place to live, and you just can't do that with hospitality sector wages.
I've had similar idea with supermarket receipts about 10 years ago, but had trouble with implementation — OCR APIs were very enterprise-oriented and unreliable. However, instead of nutrition, I was thinking more into automatic recipes, and re-ordering online, getting feedback about the stuff you bought to build your taste profile and recommendations.

If you have good data of all the households purchases, you can do so much good stuff with it, the problem is getting this data reliably.
I think it doesn't matter. If the major question was if a 3rd party could have standing, and the answer was yes because they were a beneficiary, then all they need is to show that they were not given a benefit they were owed. If the reason they bought the tv was to use it on their wall, and would have benefitted from the source code to modify the tv or study how tvs worked etc, that would just be one possible benefit. Using the tv to excercise a right just to test if you actually have that right, or to use the tv and it's source as an example in the persuit of their operation which is to defend the gpl and the authors and users, that is still using the tv, and still a benefit that the gpl grants and that it's framers and users definitely intended to grant. The gpl goes on and on and restates the intent multiple times in multiple ways that the whole purpose is explicitly to grant every end user the right for any purpose and without having to justify it.

It would seem that this makes buying the tv just for the sake of the case perfectly fine by at least 2 different vectors, each of which would seem to be enough all by itself. 1 - You have to be able to test something to prove you have it. 2 - The overwhelmingly unambiguous writing in the gpl itself, let alone all the other surrounding decades of writings and speaking by both the people who wrote it, and the people who chose to apply it to their own works.

Maybe yet a 3rd factor, the SFC probably isn't trying to get paid money besides maybe the cost of the trial itself and some token, all they really want is for Vizio to do what they are already supposed to do. No matter why the SFC buys a tv, Vizio still has no excuse for not doing it's part, and all the SFC wants is for Vizio to have done what it should have, and it's not even something which costs Vizio anything. If they try to argue that SFC can't show they were actually harmed, neither can Vizio show that SFC is merely seeking to harm them.

My very biased (I want it to mean this) view anyway.

They also wanted "without loss of performance" (compared to C, I think, based on the context), which also has tension with the other requirements. I don't think it's possible to make a memory-safe language that has easy C FFI with no overhead and doesn't require you to think about C stuff. The esoterica of C have to be addressed somewhere.

I've come to prefer websites over apps on my iPhone. I have more control and privacy protections in the browser thanks to my adblocker (1) and even userscripts (2).

But it's not just control and privacy; the experience is better, too:

- YouTube without ads (depending on the adblocker-YouTube war).

- Spotify lets me play any track I want with 'request desktop website', or an album from start to finish - in the app, it's shuffle-only without premium.

So using Safari for YouTube and or Spotify on the Vision Pro isn't a big loss for me.

But you wrote above:

> follow the definition of "good" from their parents and churches

And different churches in your community teach different, contradictory things. Not just in small details but in really big things.

And your two parents don't agree on everything, and your friends' parents have different views as well, sometimes dramatically so. And sometimes you raise their views make more sense than your own parents' in some areas.

So how are you going to figure out which things to follow and which things to ignore?

There's a lot you just have to test and figure it for yourself. Especially since people are born with very different temperaments, so the rules one person follows may be very different from another -- like whether they consider getting up extremely early to be virtuous, or bad for their health.

Since these patents are granted by the Chinese government, they can generate an arbitrary number of them to seem like they are innovating.

A better metric would be how many other countries and non-Chinese companies are finding those patents useful and relying on them. In that metric, you will likely find them much further from the number 1 position.
I think efuel refers only to synthetic hydrocarbons like gasoline not hydrogen gas or ammonia.
The inertia of urban planning is measured in decades, while that of the technologies we are developing today is measured in quarters or years. It makes sense why the market logic dictates the fervor for EVs, since market dynamics are inherently myopic, but if we are to address the issues on longer time scales we need to think beyond a market-supremacist outlook. E-scooters and e-bikes are indeed touted as ways to subvert market dynamics to encourage change in the less-temporary features of our living environments.

Taxes by their nature tend to inhibit the thing being taxed. This is why every state in the USA has heavy liquor taxes, and it’s why places like New York City and Seattle tax soft drinks extra.

Tell HN: Toptal has started racing to the bottom
I used to get jobs at $70 USD/hour and lately all jobs I apply to show me a warning that my rate is not competitive. It shows what a competitive rate would be and it's usually around 35 USD/hour or less.

I have applied to dozens of jobs where I was clearly overqualified and never got anything.

For the past month I started applying with a 42 USD/hour rate... still got selected for exactly zero jobs.

I even got contacted on Slack for a tech position and the offered rate was 23 USD/hour.

For every job you apply and isn't selected, they send an automated email about only developers that apply within 3 days are usually selected. My average apply time is 5 hours. It makes no sense.

It seems unless you are happy to race to the bottom, there is zero chance of getting a job on Toptal right now.

I don't even think this is related to laid off people impacting the job market. I doubt US developers laid from prestigious FAANG companies are applying under such meme rates.
