That's true, but because mushrooms are so wet (~90% water), if you look at the numbers for dehydrated mushrooms vs meat, mushrooms start looking a lot better.

I think dry mushrooms are about 30% protein by weight, which is in the ballpark of dry meat.
Yes, indeed, many of these individual features I listed, are available in other tools. For example:

- Literate programming can be done in Jupyter Notebooks, R Markdown, and other computational notebooks.

- Advanced to-do tracking, agenda views, and tagging are available in productivity tools like Asana, Trello, and Todoist.

- Customizable exports can be done in many document preparation systems like LaTeX or pandoc.

- Spreadsheets and calculations are, of course, native to Excel and Google Sheets.

However, the real power of org-mode - and what makes it stand out - lies in the integration and synergy of all these components in one place, inside a powerful text editor (Emacs). This tight integration is harder to achieve when you're using various separate tools to accomplish the same tasks.

It not only makes org-mode a versatile tool for many text-related tasks (note-taking, programming, writing papers, planning projects, managing to-dos), but also allows these tasks to naturally intertwine and interact. For example, you could extract to-dos directly from your code comments, or include executable code snippets in your project plan.

Moreover, as a component of Emacs, org-mode can tap into the vast ecosystem of Emacs plugins and extensions, meaning you can further extend its capabilities to suit your particular needs.

So, while it's true that many of these individual features can be found elsewhere, the unique combination and integration offered by org-mode give it a singular and valuable position in the tools landscape.

> Markdown is unrivaled.

Respectfully, I disagree. Yes, Markdown is more popular. Yet, in the hands of an experienced Emacs user, things that are possible to do with Org-mode can sometimes be on another level of awesome. You just probably haven't seen it.

> but you cant just tell kids they are doomed

But you can expose them to broader view points;

Why is owning a house a goal, or dilemma that would lead to depression? This is perhaps the "American" part; how many countries is home and automobile ownership a top coming of age marker?

Environmental disasters are going to happen (especially in top article of Florida) how can a kid take part through volunteering or voting for non disaster policies?

Economic disaster ^^ see above ^^ but yes, America has not grasped with demographic shift with baby boomer retirements; and a future lack of workers; this is where parents can teach children self sufficiency.

- forcing Google OAuth as the only way to sign up is not a good idea. That prevented me from signing up.
And this bridge being down will shutdown the port and reroute all automobile traffic that used to travel across it for months and the bridge itself will require design rebuilding, all of which will be extremely costly economically.

That was my thought. The supports look like toothpicks relative to the ships that routinely pass through. I don't know enough about the forces involved here, but I'd like to think when they rebuild, they will add some sort of deflection capabilities around the supports that ships must past in between.
But again, I don't know what that would take to deflect a massive ship like this. In hindsight, the bridge looks terribly exposed given the persistent risk of ships passing through.
They want to breathe new life into their software at the same time they want it to die as soon as possible.

I hope they reconsider their decision. It's not like there are lots of VAXes in operation doing actual work.

One nit: I had to (or at least was able to) capture the king in the puzzle, which just feels wrong somehow.

Would be great if normal chess rules on checks could still apply, but probably make it too complicated?
Ya the people on the bridge would have less than 4 minutes to figure out the ship is crashing then to clear 2500 feet of bridge. When you're working with construction equipment you'd probably not notice till you had seconds left.

Ironically, simply bulking up the ground around the piers would have had the ship run aground; at 8 knots the ship would have slowed to a stop within several yards, and suffered minor damage, maybe would have required being tugged back into clear waters. Running aground puts the majority of impact into a downward force absorbed by the earth. It's hard to build a bridge pier that will withstand 200,000 tons of direct impact, no matter how slowly that's moving.
The "workarounds or other code contortions" I'm talking about is the focus of the article. The point of the article is that safe Rust cannot directly represent circular data structures and therefore you need workarounds to represent them. My point is rather than fighting the borrow checker you could use two complimentary languages to achieve the same goal.

To add more context: I tried the articles suggestion and used integer handles some years back and shared my feedback on HN [1]. It wasn't a good experience as integer handles are just pointers the borrow checker doesn't know about. It made the implementation far more cumbersome than it needed to be.

The article gives some interesting history. I did not know how mid grade gas came about.

> almost every automaker recommends either regular or premium fuel.

It does not logically follow from this that mid grade gasoline has no point.

Turboed engines are increasingly common in economy vehicles. These are usually rated for regular unleaded but many people use premium because it’s better for the turbo over the long rub (and manufacturers don’t recommend based on the long run). Ford’s ecoboost line of egnines, for example. I see no reason to believe that mid grade isnt a middle ground here.

Design Fails That Destroy Common Sense
Something like a cycling or book club isn't going to have the deep connection, commitment to unconditional love, etc. that a healthy church has.

Humans are emotional, physical, and (whether you interpret it as supernatural or not) spiritual creatures. The ritual and belief in something bigger than oneself are an essential part of the process. If you look at other organizations that serve similar roles to conventional churches (such as the Grangers, Freemasons, Shriners, The Lions Club, etc.) they all replicate the ritual and higher purpose commonly associated with churches.
They will. As magnificent as those machines were when released, I guess my phone has more compute power than them, and that's counting only the CPU cores.
To continue the speculation ... as a ship that size is slow to turn or halt, that seems to suggest that even if the ship hadn't suffered a power failure then it would have passed quite close to the bridge pier anyway. Was that expected?

As for the future I am certain LLMs will become more efficient in terms of resource consumption and easier to train, but I am not so certain that they're going to fundamentally solve the problems that LLMs have now.

Try to train one to tell you what kind of shoes a person is wearing in an image and it will likely "short circuit" and conclude that a person with fancy clothes is wearing fancy shoes (true much more often than not) even if you can't see their shoes at all. (Is a person wearing a sports jersey and holding a basketball on a basketball court necessarily wearing sneakers?) This is one of those cases where bias looks like it is giving better performance but show a system like that a basketball player wearing combat boots and it will look stupid. So much of the apparent high performance LLMs comes out of this bias and I'm not sure the problem can really be fixed.

Simply bulking up the ground around the piers with loose fill or monolithic concrete would have had the ship run aground; at 9mph (the recorded impact speed) the ship would have slowed to a stop within several yards, and suffered minor damage, maybe would have required being tugged back into clear waters. Running aground puts the majority of impact into a downward force absorbed by the earth. It's hard to build a bridge pier that will withstand 200,000 tons of direct impact, no matter how slowly that's moving.

How could one build a bumper to protect the piers from an impact like this? That ship is massive and it sounds like it was going pretty fast. I'm having trouble imagining any solution that involves absorbing the impact. But I'm not a civil engineer. If something like this exists I'd be interested in reading about it.

Unfortunately, a gamepad is just not sufficient for immersive VR gaming: you need something like the Meta Quest controller. And the lack of a first-party controller means that games will be forced to build sub-par gesture based controls as the default, with physical controls as an afterthought.

As a result, I highly doubt we'll get anything as advanced as Half-Life: Alyx on the platform.

Lying to them when they can see the evidence to the contrary is better?
All I really know about long keels is from what people have said. They tend to track well and don't tend to make as much leeway, but perhaps at the expense of speed due to the wetted area, and they are hard to steer backwards. Not being particularly manouverable forwards isn't really an issue if you're spending several hours going mostly in a straight line.

Modern flat boats (like the 2017 Dufour I learned on) are highly manouverable at slow speed, we practiced spinning the boat on the spot by using prop wash over the rudder forwards then ticking over in reverse. Could turn the boat in not much more space than the boat length, but may not track as well, may slam more, and make more leeway.

The ECG stood out to me because my wife is a cardiologist, and worked with a company iCardiac to look for specific anomalies in ECGs. They were looking for LongQT to ensure clinical trials didn't mess with the heart. There was a team of data scientists that worked to help automate this, and they couldn't so they just augmented the UI for experts - there was always a person in the loop.

Looking at an ECG as a layperson it's a problem that seems easy if you know about some tools in your math toolbox, but it's deceptively hard and a false negative might mean death for the patient. So, I'm not going to trust a generic vision transformer model to this task, and until I see overwhelming evidence I won't trust a specifically trained model for this task.
Based on what I've read the container ship was only half loaded (5k out of 10k TEU) and most of the containers were empty or lightly loaded. I don't think ships of that size can even navigate those waters fully loaded.

AFAIK the water around the bridge is only like 50 feet deep and the ship itself is about 150 ft high. It wouldn't even really sink, just get stuck on the bottom. A crane ship would come unload it and then tugboats would pull it out.

The worst case scenario though does take a long time if it gets fully grounded and stuck beyond the ability of tug boats to pull it out. A company specializing in marine salvage has to come in to cut it up in place and haul the ship away piece by piece. They use large cutting chains that they pull back and forth to cut through the metal. It's a fascinating process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndr2a7AQ8b4

Show HN: Introducing deckd – where Figma meets presentations
A tool where the robust capabilities of Figma meet the dynamic world of presentations.

Imagine importing your Figma slide designs into a platform that respects the integrity of your layouts, fonts, and color schemes, yet offers the flexibility for non-design teams to update, present or share content as needed. It's our answer to ensuring brand consistency without handcuffing creativity.

Let's redefine presentations together — one deck at a time.
The direct counter-argument to "worst representation" is usually "representation with fewest assumptions", waveform as shown here is getting close. Though recording environment, equipment, how the sound actually gets digitized, etc. also come into play, there are relatively few assumptions in the "waveform" setup described here.

I would say in the neural network literature at large, and in audio modeling particularly, this continual back and forth of pushing DSP-based knowledge into neural nets, on the architecture side or data side, versus going "raw-er" to force models to learn their own versions of DSP-style transforms has been and will continue to be a see-saw, as we try to find what works best, driven by performance on benchmarks with certain goals in mind.

These types of push-pull movements also dominate computer vision (where many of the "correct" DSP approaches fell away to less-rigid, learned proxies), and language modeling (tokenization is hardly "raw", and byte based approaches to-date lag behind smart tokenization strategies), and I think every field which approaches learning from data will have various swings over time.

CCD bitstreams are also not "raw", so people will continue to push down in representation while making bigger datasets and models, and the rollercoaster will continue.

> The schools close usually from lack of kids not lack of funds.

Australia has much more of a private schooling culture than the US. About 36% of Australian children go to private schools, compared to only about 9% in the US. And slightly over 50% of Australia's private schools are Catholic. So Catholic schools closing from "lack of kids", I wouldn't say it never happens in Australia, but certainly a lot less common than in the US. Decline in Catholic religious affiliation doesn’t necessarily lead to school closure, because many Australian Catholic schools enrol large numbers of non-Catholics

I suspect funding is a big part of this-if the US introduced widespread school vouchers, the private percentage would likely creep up. But Australia has had publicly funded private schools for over 50 years now, so even with school vouchers, it could take decades for private schooling in the US to reach Australian percentages
