weight gain. With CF the pancreas is blocked, so you lack in digestive enzymes, and it's a struggle to maintain a healthy enough weight to battle respiratory infections. After Trikafta, I gained some 30 pounds, and have a big belly on my small frame

This seems like a no-brainer way to treat obesity, by restricting or blocking such enzymes. Obviously the downside is diarrhea and other malabsorption symptoms, but obese people have too much nutrition. Blocking absorption seems easier than dieting, as no willpower required. You shit out the undigested food.

The older I get, the more libertarian. A landowner should be allowed to build whatever they want[1], irrespective of the objections of neighbors. Viewshafts, sunlight blocking, neighborhood "character", convenants on building attributes like size or materials? Nonsense.

>What this is saying is that the US zip code system is broken (by design), especially compared to other countries' postcode system.

How is a published author so illiterate? The bottom of the post specifically praises the US zip code system's efficiency for its designed purpose at the end! The UK postcode system is similarly used (and abused) by many entities for purposes that have nothing to do with mail delivery. You know this, yet bleat this nonsense.
Disappointing but not surprising.

I'm old enough to remember when Amazon's thing was that they were the cheapest. But that old goes so fast. At some point you either raise prices or you lower quality. So, not surprising.
This is probably partly a consequence of our complicated federal system.

Municipalities are established by states but the postal system is federal. Depending on the state, it’s possible for an address to be in multiple municipalities (New York has villages inside some towns, for instance) or none. It’s not always the case that residents use the innermost municipality in their address.

Some US addresses refer to a place, sometimes called a hamlet, that may have no legally defined boundaries. Basically the equivalent of a city neighborhood, but at a rural or suburban level. Levittown, New York, is a famous example.

There are also Census-designated places, which are basically simplified versions of this weird geography used for the federal census. They won’t always match what local residents or state governments consider to be in a certain place.

Then the 8-bit ATMega328p in the Arduino Uno is an MPU[1]. Except it's solidly an MCU. I'd say if it uses external RAM as its main memory, and external storage as its main storage, then it's an MPU. If the RAM is all internal, and the storage is all (or can be all) internal, it's an MCU.

I’m 38 and I’ve had essential tremor for as long as I can remember. For most of my life it wasn’t much of a nuisance but it’s slowly and progressively worsened over the last 5 or so years. I won’t dare try to pick up a full drinking glass anymore, and a forkful of food is unlikely to make it to my mouth without jiggling off. Glad to hear that early onset isn’t implicated here but it’s still surprising to me how little is known and how quickly it’s dismissed whenever I’ve brought it up with my PCP.

> there's a queue for rentals, so you register that you want to rent in Stockholm, and then you get put on a list, and then wait two years for it to be your turn

Price capping any good -- housing, fuel, food -- by definition produces a shortage.

A shortage is when there is more demand than supply at the market price.

And artificially lowering the market price increases the amount demanded and reduces the amount supplied.

"whatever they want" and then you add an asterisk. Give it a few years, as you get older and more libertarian your asterisk will get smaller and smaller.
It depends on the spec - everyone dumps on the base specs but they are still a crazy powerful Chromebook, and in the higher specs they are legitimately competitive as ultrabooks and developer workstation spec laptops.

In neither configuration are they particularly cheap, but you’re also holistically paying for a first-party supported Unix OS with great third party support, a bandwidth level 2-4x greater than x86 laptops currently deliver (with unified memory and a good gpu for the power), very good screens/keyboards/trackpads and an aluminum chassis, a huge amount of thunderbolt with all ports at full spec, incredible battery life, etc. No, apple doesn’t compete dollar for dollar with an atom based Chromebook with a plastic body or whatever, but you also do get a much nicer machine.

This should go without saying (but seldom does) but different people have different value judgements, and different products exist for these different people. If you want to min/max your life with a $300 chromebook that's fine. Other people prefer to look at it in the "I spend 16 waking hours staring at Screens every day, I want it to be a good one". And if you are otherwise in the market for a well-specced x86 laptop, the apple stuff is not that bad, and while it does have its downsides and weaknesses it also has strengths and unique points over x86 too. You're not going to go run a LLM on that 6840U or 12700H. Have fun getting sleep to work right/waking up to a cooked laptop in your bag. Remember bluetooth problems? Me neither, they disappeared when I got issued a macbook (i9 even but the apple silicon models are better).

You see the same thing in GPUs a lot too. People fucking obsess about some numbers that largely come down to 10-15% one way or another, and you know what? If you want the NVIDIA features or (perceived or real) driver stability/herd immunity, it's fine. If you want the AMD VRAM and perf/$ advantage it's fine. It ultimately doesn't really matter all that much.

People get super wrapped into "but this one is 15% better perf/$!!! that's like half a segment!!!" but that means we might be talking about a whole $50 at the register, and if it doesn't do what you want it to, if it's going to nag and chafe at you, then just spend the money. And for some people, especially with larger purchases, there is also the psychology of "I'm spending $2500 on this Thinkpad anyway, I'm keeping it for years, I don't mind spending a little more to check boxes". Especially for what amounts to craftsmen choosing tools - we are going to stare at these machines for a long time, right?

Anyway like, there's zero question in my mind that the apple stuff smokes the latitudes or thinkpads you'd otherwise get. They're great.
Isn’t it your choice what you pay for? The fact is that Claude 3 is the best Raw LLM without these features at the moment, it’s up to you if it is worth the price.

Some of the stuff you mention is fairly irrelevant such as system prompt and perhaps gpt’s as the larger context window can allow you to do this, plus you can upload it pdf’s with instructions.

They are getting rid of plugins so this is irrelevant too.

iOS app is not needed as it is available on the web.

The rest is just standard market forces and personal choice, does a better LLM add more value to you than voice? If you use that function then maybe but a lot of people don’t.

To me Claude 3 free is excellent so I don’t have have to sub to ChatGPT+

It’s just personal choice, pros and cons to both, but Claude is competitive because it’s better, it has less bells and whistles but its core functionality is stronger, just a matter of what is important to you.

Energy savings on what basis?

If your gate gets 50x50x50 times bigger, you need some pretty extreme savings per area/volume of circuit if you want to reduce the per-gate usage. Can they save that much?

Low quality opinion bait
> According to Schwartz, 22 percent of mothers now space out their kids by six or more years.

This phrasing makes it sound like they do this on purpose. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not so much a choice as (1) the later child was not conceived on purpose, or (2) the mother was not able to have children closer together either due to fertility issues or relationship changes. I don't know any moms who would purposely have kids this far apart, though I don't know all kinds of people.

i.e. sometimes writers write because they like to write. It can be a bit much sometimes to be projecting so much onto them. Which is a shame because the interpretations are interesting - would work better as personal subjective opinion.
Shift shifts which part of the image you are implicitly cropping to. (Every photo is a crop: you’re taking a circular image plane and cropping a rectangle out of it.). Tilt tilts the focal plane.

I occasionally wish someone would make a camera with a circular sensor that captures the entire usable field of view from the lens. If nothing else, a professional camera like this could skip the extra side grip and save some bulk because there would be no need to ever hold the camera sideways.

Absolutely trees in disguise, in fact there are deterministic versions of skip lists that are equivalent to B-trees. An 1-2 skip list (where each pointer to next can skip from 1 to 2 pointers on the level below) is isomorphic to a 2-3 tree.

There’s a limit to how much price can fall when buildings and land are investments. A house which appreciates underneath tenants will get sold, the new owner will have a higher mortgage payment, and rent will necessarily be higher.
This is a pretty funny idea. Love seeing this kind of creativity.

I am using bruno on all my REST projects and the entire team is more than happy. We have bruno file for most endpoints demonstrating basic usage and as soon as something is problematic, someone creates bruno file in the repo and link to it so others can interactively discover what the problem is about. Since its cross platform and doesn't require any kind of on-boarding its joy to use and nobody complained. Previously, people used postman, thunder, curl and whatnot, but now everybody is on the same page. People created all sorts of scripts, such as automatic token refresh, so you jump straight to action. The fact that I can edit it in vscode is also amazing. Thank you.

I don't blame the postal system. I blame the people who made the Samsung web site.

Computers are supposed to work for people, not the other way around.

One of the more atrocious things I've noticed recently is that there's a address verification backend that more and more companies are using that is actually built on crowdsourced data. Think about that: Crowdsourced verification.

The next time you're on one of those sites where you type in the name of a city and it tries to auto-complete with a bunch of suggestions, enter "Houston" and see if it suggests "Clutch City" as an option. Yep, somehow a sports slogan from last century is considered a valid mailing address by some online stores.

I have a friend I send Christmas gifts to in Houston, and I've run into it three times so far on web sites in the U.S. and Europe, so I presume that it's some kind of back-end plug-in that multiple companies subscribe to.
API clients mostly expect JSON responses. So, test assertions have to be able to parse the responses and validate them.
California. It’s the world’s fifth largest economy. I will take some regulatory risk over volatility in Texas. California vacancy rates speak for themselves, there is voracious demand for housing there vs Texas. Texas also has the nation’s 7th highest property tax rate.

It seems like it would be an important capability, if a whole chunk of tape is corrupted, say, but you don't know how long the chunk was.

It wasn't immediately clear from the description -- can you tune _where_ the parity blocks are stored, to make sure that a corruption doesn't knock out the parity too? I guess this would be the interleave distance, is that the term?

Funny. I just found Bruno two weeks ago after getting fed up with Insomnia and am loving it. It feels like what Postman and Insomnia were when they started. Simple and to the point.

There are a few minor features I miss (being able to bulk edit headers is the main one), but overall I highly recommend it.
I believe the the DoD allowed these UFO conspiracies to go on unchecked for so long because, in a way, it helped provide some additional level of secrecy. If there's a lot of noise about flying saucers, dead aliens, and revere-engineered tech from other worlds-- that sort-of helps their cause.

It seems to have gone a bit too far. Elizondo and his cohorts really latched onto that stuff and energized the UFO "community" which has a religious level of fervor about these conspiracies. They leaked the Navy "tic-tac" video, and managed to float a NYTimes story about it in 2017 that was very high profile.

Things really went over the top last summer after David Grusch testified to congress about "biologics" (aliens) in possession of the US government as well as UFO crash retrieval programs. That momentum continued with some (in)famous ufologists forming a think-tank called "The Sol Foundation". It's purpose is, presumably, to rake in government contracts to "study" this stuff.

I guess it was a wild ride while it lasted, I don't think there's going to be any consequences for the UFO conspiracy loons that started this latest UFO craze, but maybe there should be given all the attention it drew when there's more serious things to worry about?
If the people want rent control, they’ll get rent control and capital and newcomers will have to deal with it.

“Better” and “worse” are subjective. Affordable housing vs “fair” free market housing selection will be governed by individual belief systems. It’s possible local citizens don’t want what some consider “better.” Up to the people who live there to vote for what they want.

Sweden seems to want rent control, so rent control it is and the discussion is academic (still interesting, but highly unlikely to lead to a delta in current outcome trajectory).

In the war against malware on the web, messenger services like Facebook messenger and google chat have been known to visit links passed through their service. the attacker hijacks an account, and then sends the malware link to all of that users contacts. coming from a trusted source, those contacts visit the link, and they get their account hijacked, and the cycle continues. in order to combat this, the platforms will visit the link to verify it isn't malware. Thus, the platform has the magic url. We trust them not to abuse this privilege, but that's one case where someone other than the intended recipient has the magic url.
I really like the idea of serializing requests to a Git-friendly text format.

But if we want a Git-friendly text format, why not mimic HTTP/1.1 request syntax as much as possible? Maybe with Jekyll-like YAML front matter for metadata that doesn’t fit?

So for Get Users.bru instead of the current example of:

meta {
name: Get Users
type: http
seq: 1
}

get {
url: https://reqres.in/api/users
body: none
}

headers {
Content-Type: application/json
}

We could adopt a format like:

---
name: Get Users
type: http
scheme: https
seq: 1
---

GET /api/users HTTP/1.1
Host: reqres.in
Content-Type: application/json
There are some folks now pushing the idea of wall meditation. Literally just grab a chair, take 10 minutes at first to just stare at a wall. See where the mind goes.

I like the idea in its simplicity to define. Chair + wall + time.

But eventually in many meditative traditions like Buddhism, a little context can be allocated as needed.
Sounds great... as long as you are the one doing the building or are living in an area not so densely populated that there is decent distance between houses. Hard to imagine people living in houses in a typical urban area would be happy with such a system, given that neighbours could just build whatever they want near to your house, without any consideration to your wishes.

As always, there is a compromise to be found, and so we have planning systems.

You're talking about handing over power to the market, or to the biggest players in the market. We've already seen that it doesn't work, time and time again, to rely on a benevolent billionaire to take care of the workers. Government regulation is absolutely necessary to protect the majority of people.
The specific cases we're talking about is where FDA political appointees have overridden and/or appointed new advisory committees for a redo.
Generally if you take the always append columns never drop or rename existing ones you’ll be okay. (Then once everyone moves over to the new stuff you can drop or otherwise cleanup the table).

Housing isn't bitcoin, it's possible to make more of it. And that's the point: Rent control often ends up disincentivizes construction, making it worse for tenants in the long run.
