That entirely depends on how dietary and prescription trends impact sexual activity.

Both trends have been growing over the last 50 or so years. If the change in diet or medication would directly impact an individual on a short term that wouldn't line up with the data in this article. If the trends accumulate slowly in a person, or if they impact an individual's children, the trends could line up.

Sex drive is an extremely complex topic. By no means am I claiming that these are definitely factors, but the article is pretty light on links for the potential factors it proposes. The idea that, for example, an increase in vegetable oil consumption or even specifically soy could accumulate over time and impact hormonal balances in children isn't out of the question.

More importantly, given how hand-wavy the article is with regards to the factors it raises, ignoring diet, prescription drugs, and overall health seems like a huge miss.
You can't solve everything at once, progress is incremental, and there are several case studies to the contrary.

Thanks for sharing. This is such a fun and insightful article I felt it deserved its own post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39507447
First, this means, as compared to today, that the results of some people's labor, and a lot of that, are sent to these undeveloped countries, rather than letting them sell it at a price of their choice. Why would they agree to that? Or buying that with tax money, which nobody would agree to either.

Second, as the last few decades have shown, just sending food, medicine and other supplies to these regions just makes more miserable people.
I think that the other side of this argument is basically that management is tactics and leadership is strategy. They are kinda-sorta-distinguishable, but only by virtue of the labels we choose, and they are always two faces of the same coin.

This tracks with my experience: I have worked places where the day-to-day was fine (management) but the year-to-year was not (leadership).
I'm the author. To be clear. I referred to myself as "the author."

And no I did not say that. Let me be clear I did not say that there is "no difference". I said whether there is or isn't a difference we can't fully know because we can't define or know about what "understanding" is. At best we can only observe external reactions to input.
Could you please explain what's it?

And how does it work?
It can search every possible book has written?

It's something like character-based embedding?

Also, it reminds me "category theory"

In a sense, they are right. There are several coordinate systems, but the one everyone uses (WGS84) was developed around the time of GPS and intended to be used for that purpose.

So GPS coordinates isn’t really a bad way to describe them.
> SDC now supports many very advanced features (static ifs, string mixins, CTFE) of D, but not many basic ones. This is a development choice to allow the architecturing of the compiler around the hardest features of the language. As a consequence, SDC has a solid base to build upon.

This is pretty neat.

"Do the hard part first", isn't exactly a new or unique design idea, but it's certainly rare enough to be highlighted.

This installing work 2fa apps on my personal phone also needs to go. I actually have no idea how to transfer all of these things if I drop my phone and break it. Absolutely crazy that so much is tied up in this terrible idea.
All I got out of this article was “work/life balance is important”. I wish brevity was easier to monetize…
So the case against SMS 2FA boils down to

“There are two factors, but the second factor is something a determined actor can get around by SIM swapping.”

But there are still two factors and SMS 2FA handles disaster recovery much better than the listed alternatives for most people.

This argument strikes me as kind of like - “a determined actor can get around a deadbolt pretty easily, so the standard for homes should be a vault door and fines if you leave a hide-a-key rock anywhere near your house.”
This. Everything in the top level comment is platitudes but this is life changer whenever I remember to do it. I guess life itself is high stress operations for me
My colleagues would consider me a 'work martyr', but what they don't understand is that my strategy is to get everything done as fast as possible and then to significantly chill. With deadlines covered and all the details buttoned up way ahead of time, it leads to a much less stressful life.

Broadcom hasn’t screwed up anything with the big contracts, only SMEs. That’s the entire business plan. Did you even read the article? This has been going on for a while.

Nothing I’ve said is wrong, either. It’s almost entirely affecting the small shops who don’t have resources. Big buys are renewing contracts and calling it a day because VMware caters to them.

They're not. Both absolute number and percentage in both "extreme poverty" and just "poverty" have been steadily decreasing since the 70s.
Tomahawk missile routes early on took quite a bit of planning because of this. They could only follow terrain that they’d recognized. It had other capabilities (mostly inertial at the time), but the “clever” stuff came from following well map routes.

Back in the day, TI had version of their Explorer Lisp machine contained on a single 256 pin chip. These were being considered for the next generation guidance packages on the tomahawk.

The story is that these young engineers built a 500$ drone that consumes this kind of data to do mapping. In 24 hours for a hackathon no less.

If the US government didn't already have this kind of tech, they would spend millions just for the same prototype they built. And probably tens or hundreds of millions for a final product.

I think that's a story
Somewhat related, I am allergic to an assortment of fruits and vegetables (celery, carrots, watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas, etc…). Most of my food allergies are related to Oral Allergy Syndrome. I’ve been taking Flonase now for more than a year for sinus congestion from allergies, and my food allergies have all but gone away. It has been great being able to enjoy these foods without my mouth, throat, and ears itching.
Well, in the first paragraph:

> Xolair is intended for repeated use to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and is not approved for the immediate emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
This is taking regularly to reduce the risk of even having an anaphylactic reaction if exposed to an allergen.
Tell that big fintech banks in Europe. I think they it boils down that they really do not want to deal with people locking themselves out of their account by losing a normal 2fa totp.
You dont need a new law. Just work with what you have.

1 raise tariffs on chinese goods.

2 undo massive regulatory red tape on all american industry.

3 enjoy fair trade transparent production of US sourced goods

Thw differential cost between still cheaper chinese goods with heavy tariffs and us good suject to heavy tax rate is more than covered by 3PL, shipping costs and supply chain delays.

You dont need to make productive costs similar all you need is to make producing in US marginally more competitive.
Author here - yes, I agree that SMS 2FA is much better than nothing, but let's be honest, implementing and using actually secure 2FA is a lot easier than installing a vault door on your home. When the barrier to adoption and inconvenience to the user is so low, there's no reason to not adopt better 2FA methods.
From what I read of this, it's very expensive (thousands/mo), requires at least monthly injections at a facility, has a risk of anaphylaxis (so the injections can't be done at home), doesn't eliminate the risk of allergic reactions, and has no off-ramp (so you have to take it forever). Not exactly a silver bullet...

My first thought was that it could be good for kids, who are less good at checking for trace amounts of allergens, but then I saw that it requires injections, which kids aren't so great at.
When paying is optional, the question is how do you get people to want to pay you?

If they dislike you or they're cheap, they'll use a workaround.

If they want to show their support, then they might pay you even though there's a workaround.

So the question is, how good are you at selling your website as something that people might have warm feelings about? Seems like a high bar.
yeah, my thoughts exactly
No it's not a misunderstanding. Without a concrete definition on a metric comparisons are impossible because everything is based off of wishy washy conjectures on vague and fuzzy concepts. Hard metrics bring in quantitative data. It shows hard differences.

Even if the metric is some side marker where in the future is found to have poor correlation or causation with the the thing being measured the hard metric is still valid.

Take IQ. We assume iq measures intelligence. But in the future we may determine that no it doesn't measure intelligence well. That doesn't change the fact that iq tests still measured something. The score still says something definitive.

My test is similar to the Turing test. But so is yours. In the end there's a human in the loop making a judgment call.
I feel like people who have a choice are lucky. Sometimes the boss wants you to come up with a problem that won't solve it but will "work on a solution" specifically using your ideas, that way they can be even more efficient (work even less)
I'd like to hear viewpoints on using `~/.zprofile` versus `~/.zshrc` for setting `$PATH` on macOS. I was bothered for years that I didn't know the difference so I dived down the rabbit hole and wrote a guide [1]. In the end, I concluded:

- Use `~/.zprofile` to set the PATH and EDITOR environment variables.
- Use `~/.zshrc` for aliases and a custom prompt, or anything tweaking the appearance and behavior of the terminal.

It seems the advantage of the `~/.zprofile` file versus `~/.zshenv` is that it sets environment variables such as `$PATH` without override from macOS. It seems the `~/.zshrc` file could be used for `$PATH` but, by convention and design, is intended for customizing the look and feel of the interactive terminal.

Frankly, saying `~/.zprofile` is better than `~/.zshrc` for setting `$PATH` only "by convention and design" feels like a cop-out. Wondering if anyone knows better.

Sure, SMS 2FA isn't great. It may even be bad. But calling for government legislation to make that decision for other people is definitely bad. This is something you ban internally at your company or chose not to use yourself. Calling for government use of force against people who use SMS 2FA is really nasty. That said, maybe I'm missing come implicit context here and he's only taking about banning it for incorporated persons like the Digital Markets Act. That would be okay. But if it applies to human persons that's really bad.

And even if I assume all the premises are true and roll with it, shouldn't password based logins be "banned" first? And we all know that's infeasible.
So if someone blows up a transformer substation, but no one dies, is that terrorism?

What about a building? A government office? An empty school?

Or here's a better question: what then do you call the use of criminal means, for political purposes, to gain compliance from local population and political authorities, when it doesn't include direct harm against humans and focuses on destruction of property?
> Bruno was encouraged to build his whole life around the practice of asking humans for things. But after a few years, the scientists’ grant ran out and he was transferred to a different facility. When one of the lab’s scientists visited him there, he was distressed to see that Bruno seemed upset. He kept signing Key and Out. The scientist had taught the chimpanzee to communicate, but even in the face of a clear request, the scientist couldn’t help him.

Absolutely tragic. Leave them alone.
The possibility to attain wealth and pass it on to your offspring has been driven the humanity since before Homo Sapiens.

Removing it brings about the outright terror seen every time it gets removed. Change my mind.
I've been following this closely. I'm most interested in Xolair (and another one, Dupixent) as a way to make oral immunotherapy (OIT) safer and more effective. Xolair can reduce reactions for sure, but it can't get people to the point where they can actually eat normal serving sizes of their food allergens. Oral immunotherapy can do that. And Xolair is a twice monthly injection. Nobody wants to do that for the rest of their life, and if OIT is successful presumably you could stop Xolair after.

Unfortunately neither Xolair or Dupixent has looked super promising in early study results when combined with OIT. But Dupixent in particular is approved to treat one of the possible side effects of OIT, EoE (inflammation of the esophagus), so I'm still hopeful.
he's not wrong though. But we're not there just yet to completely give up learning coding.

Yes, keeping track of second factors is... definitely not a solved problem.

Not necessarily, you just pretend to be a buyer.
Considering they didn't actually deploy (the route was simulated), I would be skeptical of this.
Interesting that I was talking about clocks, and you're talking about watches instead.
I managed to convince a company to give the option of TOTP once I made it clear that they would have to provide me a phone (and pay for its service) if they required one as my contact clearly stated the company was responsible for providing the necessary tools for work, and that TOTP is otherwise completely free.
It’s only a story if it wasn’t known to cost around this range in the first place.

People can do weekend hackathon image recognition projects that aren’t story worthy but would have been billion dollar companies 15 years ago
I got my degree in EE many years ago, and quickly came to the same conclusion, and moved from hardware to software and never went back. Hardware has long been a terrible career field in the US, and anyone smart moved into some kind of software-related job.

Also, your "crap city" bit is an important factor too. WhoTF wants to live in Phoenix AZ? The fabs are usually located in rather lousy places, whereas software jobs usually give you far more choices for places to live. There's software jobs virtually everywhere these days.
I like Fastmail’s position on SMS 2FA: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360058752374-Usi...

In short: offer SMS 2FA, and indeed push users reasonably firmly¹ into adding SMS recovery at the least because for almost all users that’s the right balance of convenience and security, but certainly don’t limit it to SMS, offering better methods like U2F and TOTP.

(Disclosure: I was employed by Fastmail for a few years, but these decisions had been made long before I got there.)

—⁂—

¹ When you set up 2FA, it forces you to add a recovery phone number, except that you can skip that by holding down Ctrl or something, undocumented but support will tell you if you complain about having to do it; or, after creation, you can just remove it again. So yeah, “reasonably firmly”.
> Apple is essentially the Louis Vuitton or Prada of computers,

The extra utility of LV and Prada products relative to their competitors is zero compared to the extra utility of Apple products, for example due to lower power usage and more longevity.

Also, FAANG is just a catchy acronym for high profit/profit margin earning businesses, that also includes Microsoft and a multitude of other businesses that pay well.
I should feel how much the author is interested in the topic rather than just going through the motions. Grammar / punctuation is also important to me. I lean towards enjoying a more minimal theme.
But why? I resisted for years and started taking them a few months ago, and they really seem to be helping. I'm not so much ignoring the structural issues as I'm not so sore from them that I can't deal with them frankly.
Yeah, but now with deepfakes just skyrocketing much more, I wonder who will - and if they even could - come out a winner on top for detecting it.
Functional Organization Structure.

Keep in mind, Apple, unlike most companies - has an extremely functional org structure.

So by definition, managers should be experts in their discipline. Aka “no bozos”.

(Unlike most Fortune 500 companies, where you could get away with not being an expert in your department - but just a good people manager)
>When the barrier to adoption and inconvenience to the user is so low

Is it low though? I'm not sure my parents could figure out how to use an authenticator app.

> How can something like this be allowed into The United States. Are trade sanctions actually bureaucratic yellow tape to get around with middleman shell companies?

Not just US. Did you know that as soon as Russian sanctions began with the latest war escalation, German exports of chips and machinery to Kyrgyzstan rose 900%?

(I'd be the first to say this sounds like a conspiracy but by now even Reuters reported on it)
The graphics I've produced are absolutely phenomenal IMHO. I find that that textual content depends highly on the prompt, and often does take quite a few iterations to get right.

Often with text, the GPT is more of an assistant/advisor/proofreader for me, rather than a stand-alone creator of quality content.

Sometimes it works really well for emails. Like for producing responses to formal communications. It can save cut the time to respond from 10 minutes to 30 seconds.
There are so many problems with this article. If an area is so "remote" it doesn't have GPS coverage, the Google Maps imagery quality is going to be garbage as well. It claims it works day or night but how does it work at night? Not only will detail from the camera be reduced but the available satellite imagery will be greatly reduced in detail as well. If the team has only conducted a simulated flight isn't the headline just plain wrong?

Maybe I missed it in the article but does the processing take place on the drone or at a control station?
Nostalgia trip, nice!
One of my coworkers (at a social services agency) was the victim of a sim swap. If it can happen to her it can happen to anyone. They gained access to her bank accounts, all her email, as well as PayPal and Venmo. She ended up switching phone providers.
It's easy to shallowly dismiss work with a metaphor for how it works. LLM training is like a marble rolling down a valley. But hacking together a working proof of concept warms the heart.
All indications are that North Korea is incredibly tightly controlled. I've never seen any report of any independent of the government organization or faction or movement within North Korea.
Yeah this depends a lot on the store.

I know trader Joe's employees can pick the music, but they have a reputation as being employee friendly. When I worked at a low end grocery store we had no say at all and just got whatever they sent to us.

We did however sometimes hijack the PA system after hours and play whatever we wanted over that.

I guess this lending institution isn't altruistic, so the founder essentially moved control of their business to them.
Yes, and sometimes even locked houses are broken into.

Frankly, I'm glad Authy Desktop is dead. It didn't allow exporting of TOTP secrets, so migrating off of it was a pain. I've been much, much happier with a tiny shell alias to oathtool and gpg.

For extra benefit, bind a keyboard shortcut and use xsel (Linux) or pbcopy (Mac) to drop the TOTP code into the clipboard. Now entering a frequent TOTP code is as simple as two keyboard chords.

(I only do this because my employer offers very limited options for MFA and I don't have a smartphone. I'd much rather use the Yubikeys I already have...)
clearly could be a problem...but you are really looking at feature extraction / terrain analysis and best guessing with what is available (little different to a human doing the same job). The main thing here is that storage is so cheap and light that these these systems become easily possible. Terrain, features + building heights...filter if you need on building height / terrain...work with what is left...
We can, but it happens that one country prone to child labor usage happens to have large deposits of it with everything it entails.
Business Narrative Strategy
This does not sound very radical at all. Software engineering will no doubt be transformed within 10 years and there’s plenty of uncertainty around what our future employment needs will be for people who primarily code. I feel vary similar about going into any kind of commercial art, writing, game development or SFX design.
