You’ll eventually lower your caloric intake on a keto diet the same way most people over consume calories in a carb heavy diet. It’s just a side effect of decreased food cravings and the obstacles inherent to the diet. You get sick of avacado and coconut oil pretty quickly if it’s all you get to eat. Calorie counting is a fiction mostly.

Ah, it can also block shorts - excellent. No more pseudo choice harassment before they shove the feed down your throat anyway.
Running the same tires... same rims.

Of course it is a complicated system, so you can never compare it 1:1. Fact is that carbon bikes tend to ride more comfortable, if they are designed for it. Also the frame can be shaped and put together to flex in the right directions, which is harder with aluminium.

Then again, there are also endurance bikes (many 1000s of km's a week) made from titanium (J. Guillem) which are comfortable and also have much simpler shapes than carbon frames.

I suspect the author would have had a better time had they known to do "export COLORTERM=truecolor". This is mentioned in a footnote in the linked Emacs document about detecting truecolor support, and it appears in their Konsole screenshot, but I suspect it got lost inside their layers of terminal multiplexers (as, I find, it often does). It lets you skip past all this hard stuff straight to the part where the app understands that you want true color. A terminfo database isn't even required.
The only wearable headset so far has been Google Glass. It was great for wearing around 24x7 with only pauses to recharge. I even had mine in prescription glasses so I could wear them as my primary.

Then, as Google does, they dropped it, and no one took it up again. I'd have to imagine that in 10+ years of display and battery improvements an even better Glass is waiting to hit the market. It seems more a social issue rather than a technological one: we as a society are not ready for universal AR.
I’m not aware of any HTTPS MITM that can function properly without adding its own certificate to the trusted roots on your system (or dismissing a big red warning for every site), so I don’t think certificate pinning is necessary in such an environment (if the concern is MITM by a corporate firewall).

An attacker would still need to either have attacked the domain in question, or be able to forge arbitrary trusted certificates.
Check out the BoboVR stuff some time I have it on all my quests they make really great stuff even though their name sounds fake.

They're making upgrade parts to my mq2 stuff will work on my mq3 which is really awesome of them so I can drop another $20 not $70.
Product safety for consumer products seems to be directly in the FTC's domain.
In my opinion, this is less about the field (health care, real estate, etc.) and more about automating someone's core role. Many people have learned to do a particular job a particular way: some things they have picked up through trial and error, others were handed down from a more senior co-worker. There are other steps that are taken because something else (regulatory requirements, etc.) require it or don't and have been misunderstood.

When we try to automate part of a person's work, we have to encourage the person to take a look at themselves and the way they do their work. This is not easy for people! A lot of times we're asking someone to admit that they don't actually know why something is done a particular way. Or we point out that they are doing the work of another person in another department. And, all the time, this person is worried that at the end they will be replaced by software and lose their job.

I think it's really hard to get to a place where everyone is comfortable enough to be frank about what they do, what the software might be able to do, and what makes sense.
Actually, they can allow an entire free market of investigators to pop up and then pay them to do things. Like NHS does with doctors.

In fact, we can remove the government from the equation altogether and have a free market
I think there needs to be some kind of "responsible and clear disclosure" laws that require companies to very clearly and overtly disclose what data they're collecting and how they're using it.

Some kind of standardized "label" (something like the standardized nutritional facts on food products) that is easy for consumers to read and comprehend, not buried in pages of paperwork, without needing to read a 20 page TOS / Privacy Policy.

The legal problem is everyone is "consenting" to data collection by accepting a TOS which protects companies and makes it "legally acceptable". The real problem that needs solving is consumers are rarely aware of what they're consenting to. Companies might not hoover up and sell as much data if they were required to clearly tell everyone they're doing it.

Basically, let's get rid of this idea that agreeing to a 20 page TOS / Privacy Policy is legally binding when < 1% of people actually read what they're agreeing to.
As a developer, OS or Browser deciding the colors of my website would be a nightmare. The web is diverse, everyone doing their own weird colours in whatever weird way they can think of.

But we do get the "prefers-color-scheme"[0] and "color-scheme"[1] CSS media features, they make it easy for everyone, the visitor can just change the OS/Browser theme and the browser tells the website about what color the visitor prefers. It's up to the developer to ignore/accept their preference.

This is an accessibility thing, many hates dark theme, and some cannot look at a bright screen for long, all sites should provide either a way to change the theme or use these CSS features.

I don't think we can extrapolate much from that anecdote, but I'll try. The GPT version was predictably wordy and had the signature precocious high-school essay feeling, e.g. lots of adjectives. It didn't feel Kafkaesque at all, where is the confusion, breathless tone, mysterious K.?

Qwen's is pretty unremarkable, just very direct, but I don't see that one is actually following directions better. Maybe further along the difference gets more stark. Also, isn't Qwen a Chinese-first model? How much of the fine tuning was in English?

Neither example gets too actual utility, though it could highlight the sort of demo that chatgpt is trained for.
I had it in mind I was going to be a stuntman when I was young, and took glee in scaring the crap out of adults by pretending to crash my bike, fall out of trees, or off of structures.

Whatever I learned from those years of risky play I credit with helping me to go on many exciting adventures and and engage with a variety of ill-advised recreational pursuits all while keeping myself largely intact.
Sorry for the slight tangent, but: What's the current state of VR&AR Headset friction / boot time? This is what I expected Apple to solve first.

With VR/AR headsets, the friction to 'boot in' seems to be one of the biggest problems in adoption, and one that I feel Meta et al don't openly talk about. (Note, I am ignorant of this field in general).

How close are we to seamless, quick boot, such that one puts on a headset and are 'immediately' immersed? (Compare to my phone, which unlocks before my eyes even have time to focus on the screen).

(My admittedly poor) web searching of this question just tends to offer webpages on common boot issues (e.g. 'Quest boot time'/'Vive startup time' just leads to complaints and support forums.)

I suspect this also to be a primary issue with the true 'metaverse' taking hold. GTA6 will, in my opinion, be the luxury 'hang-out' metaverse, but will likely take many minutes to access. I feel that Microsoft could have made Minecraft the de facto metaverse (by implementing certain features), but will never quite get there. Perhaps a WebGL game that can take you to a bookmarked 'spacial' lobby within 3000ms can get real traction.
Development at a glacial pace. Their product timeline and finances are not my concern, and it’s not everybody else’s responsibility to mitigate the risks of their product development. Lots of things in industry would develop much more quickly if we decided to set the product safety bar low enough— I’m glad we at least recognize when we screwed up by taking away the operating licenses of companies like this. What happened here was exactly what I envisioned happening when the slick, CYA-first, blame-everyone-else, ethics-are-negotiable attitude endemic to the software (and other) industries entered this safety-critical field. The Therac-25 fried multiple people before the industry acknowledged enough culpability to trash a design that would never have been released if they had used proper design and engineering discipline in the first place. It was just a whole lot cheaper to let a developer check his own work and blame everyone else.
"It could have been built by any six-year old with 500 boxes of tinker toys and a PDP-10."
Many HN'ers are probably like me, in that hearing about its imperfections is kind of a relief. If it really DID mean a new era of tech, well then frick I need to learn some new skills to keep up, have to buy one for myself, etc. etc.

That being said, it feels like a few small things would make a consumer version of this really take off:

- Cut the weight in half (i.e., use plastic).

- Drop the gimmicky eye TV (save weight, and probably make the whole thing thinner).

- Make it thin/modular enough to collapse into a headphones-sized case.

- And then if its light enough, a magnetic strap might be strong enough, making the transition in/out smoother and less likely to mess up hair.

- Drop the price $1k.

That is, simply paring things down might be enough to take this product out of the awkward-nerd-goggles category and into something more like a cozy-interactive-sleepmask for travelers.
DIY Surface Mount on a Budget – Walkthrough from PCB Etching to Reflow (2009)
I totally understand not wanting to have children for disability and deciding you are not fit to be a parent. But the OP had a lot of projection onto people who do have kids, which is false. I think being 100% financially able to have children, and choosing not to because you like to travel and watch Netflix more, is a poor reason. But everyone is free to make their own choices.

My point about being comfy, was the OP's self description of a blessed, wealthy, pain-free life. But this state of things is temporary, so to be sure one has the mental, emotional, and spiritual tools to accept life when one isn't living a comfy existence. The description of having kids, and of life itself being meaningless, is a signal that when life throws the OP a tragedy, the response will not be healthy.
Yes- More people need to know secrets managers exist and the types of problems they solve. I'm passionate about helping people discover and understand what secrets managers do. Using any secrets manager would be better than none at all - it does not need to be our solution as there are plenty to consider.
One other thing is with alphabets. If I highlight over a word, and you could show me how to sound out the word in latin characters, that would be super helpful and no other language app I know of does that.
Why? (I switch wrists every six weeks ago because I think the tan line starts to look weird, it's similar usable from either)
That's true of the text of the first amendment, because that part is clear and unqualified ("congress shall make no law") as clearly the framers felt it was important not to be misunderstood.

Why do you think the word "unreasonable" is even in the text of the fourth then, if not to clarify that the government IS allowed[1] to do normal/legal/reasonable/whatever research?

I'm not saying you shouldn't be offended that this stuff is being gathered about you. I'm saying the constitution isn't going to protect you and you need to vote for candidates (Wyden's an excellent one!) who will pass laws to do that.

[1] Because of course it is. Again, police work requires information gathering!
This goes back to Third Party Doctrine.

It's the premise that once you give up data to a third party, you no longer have any "reasonable expectation of privacy" so therefore it's not a search.

There is similar case law backing up searching your garbage can. While it's up against your house (aka still under your control), you have rights to it.. once you put it on the street for the garbage truck to collect, you've surrendered those rights.

I'm NOT saying this is good or what I like - specifically, I hate it - but it's how it currently works under US case law.

Therefore, to change things, we need Congress to write new laws and/or new Amendments. Our opinions of "how it should be done" are irrelevant unless backed by the law.

Exactly. The value of simply windowing your search set by a few orders of magnitude, with low false negatives, is underappreciated.

Getting from 100,000,000 to 10,000 (0.01%) makes other subsequent methods viable, including "have a person follow them," that wouldn't be on the full set.
This idea was the foundation for the Quantum Country book [0], which was essentially an experiment in combining reading with spaced repetition learning to let you do just that: understand a topic deeply.

Anyone interested in the theoretical underpinnings of the idea can read about it in the blog post [1] the co-authors wrote. For anyone who objects to the idea that rote-memorisation can aide learning rather than simply let you mechanically repeat facts, you should read the paragraph "How important is memory, anyway?" [2].

That's interesting. I just ran a session in english to french starting by writing /replying in english then adding french words in the sentence at the end to see how it reacts.

- The errors in my english sentences, mainly word order and missing articles, are involuntary and the corrections are reasonably coherent with deepl and deepl writer (that also uses AI).

- the french words were correctly identified as french words, and the words were correctly translated, except maybe for one: "essentiellement" that I used in the meaning of "mainly" and was translated as "essentially" which I'm not sure it's the good choice

in any case I add it to my bookmarks
All these objections are very reasonable, providing you accept some premises. One of them is the scale of current ships stays the same. But that isn't some fact of nature, it's just a political/economical circumstance that could change very fast, given the proper incentives.
They possibly had to include training data tagged with "inactive" though, including that.

That's true - without excusing Cruise, the investigators really dropped the ball by accepting that way of a video being shared with them.
Yeah, the way the non-Pro Quest controllers are implemented isn't expensive at all. The tracking hardware is just commodity accelerometers/gyroscopes for high resolution (albeit only relative) motion sensing, and a constellation of IR LEDs to give a clear reference point for the headset cameras to follow in absolute space and correct the IMU drift.

Knowing Apple they would more likely follow the lead of the Quest Pro controllers though, which have their own set of cameras and perform their own inside-out tracking independently of the headset. It's expensive and power hungry but more robust since they work just as well when the headset can't see the controllers.
I use my own terminal, and early made the decision not to give a shit about terminfo, pretend to be rxvt, and deal with the fallout (now, admittedly, the only user I care about for my terminal is me - at least for now). Modern terminals supports enough of a shared subset that it's less painful doing that than having to deal with applications get all confused because they don't recognize your TERM variable, to the point where I've typically found the closest match whenever I've used a less common terminal in the past too. (This matters less if you don't regularly ssh into new systems, of course)
The big theoretical use case of quantum computing is simulating quantum systems, with applications in chemistry, biology, medicine/pharmacology, material science and quantum physics. In theory, doing things like calculating the ground state of a complex molecule would be viable on a quantum computer while a classical computer would require enormous amounts of energy, memory and time.

Popular science outlets love to talk about "quantum computing breaking encryption" and "instant search with Grover's algorithm", etc., but from what I've seen, barely anyone in modern quantum computing "industry" is really interested in those. Companies like Volkswagen have been interested in QC for its potential in improving EV batteries; agriculture, medicine and pharma are interested in things like protein folding and other simulations with complex molecules and chemical processes, which aren't just viable to a good degree of accuracy on any classical computer nowadays.

Another application, which is a bit closer to the popular view of quantum algorithms, is logistics, where potential speed ups in NP-complete problem solving may be useful.

The battery is external, i.e. already next to you anyway, so plugging in power is rather simple. You could also have multiple batteries with you, though I don't know the price of an additional battery.

Things like this remind me of how helpful a personal search engine that actually works would be. Google assistant wasn’t bad when now on tap was out, but with all their fancy ai wiz Google could do a really thorough job if they wanted, regardless of if it was at the 3 letter orgs or on your email.
> People change.

The fact that your entire life's story, your narrative, is also forever preserved in the archives of the net, also lends credence to the illusion of a permanent, unchanging, fixed and immutable self.

People don't change. They can't change. It's impossible to act "out of character," because if you act in a manner that is opposed to how you have been depicted, represented on social media in the past, people will say, "oh, that's not the real you!" and reject all your attempts at self transformation, reminding you of who you were, where you've been, what you were wearing in that group photo last Friday...

It's fundamentally changing our concept of self, ossifying it in our digital fossil record. It's impossible to introduce a discontinuity into the thread of your life's story when the cameras are rolling 24/7. The cognitive fluency of being able to access thousands of self-representations, facsimiles of who you are, makes it easier to identify with the selfie on the screen. Easier to identify with the profile picture or the avatar. Easier to become locked into the constraints you imposed on yourself when you decided to freeze a snapshot of your person and preserve it in a digital time capsule. Easier to fall prey to the delusion that the self is permanent and immutable.

You never step in the same river twice. It just looks like the same river when we take a picture of it and frame it on our wall.
boot time is not nearly as relevant as with a phone where you're constantly turning it off.
> "Used a feature phone at odd hours for years but began leaving their phone behind to go pull large quantities of cash from the ATM according to bank records, followed by a new circuitous route around town where they don't live or work or have associated friends or family according to traffic cameras" is much more interesting.

I beg to disagree. Although I've only worked for European and US companies, my experience is that even bossy bosses appreciate quality design and understand that lack of time, pressure and exploitation cause products to degrade. But pressure can only exist if there is an equally opposing force — you, me, us.

If my recommendation to bluntly quit sounded harsh, I'm happy to tone that down. There is value in compromise, but just make sure your voice is heard, say no if you cannot / will not do it in such little time to the extent that you feel is required. Fighting for the time to do our job well is our struggle. Sometimes it's easy, more frequently it's hard, but when it's simply impossible — have your boss find someone else.

Quality — at least internal quality — is primarily the responsibility of the software developer, not her/his boss or some QA department.

Not true. I know folks who worked at an aircraft manufacturer with similar requirements and classifications. They had a locker they would put it in somewhere. Some people would grab them at lunch, leave, and put them back. They said it was because of the camera on phones.

I agree that we should be comparing real scenarios, but I also notice that my desktop Linux systems tend to idle at <=1% CPU use if I don't have a browser open, so there's probably some genuine room to consider what counts as idle even with an OS running.
