Yeah, I don't think there's a need for the roll. You just need to make sure you can hold it high enough in the air to shake the thing without letting the bottom rest on the floor.

I just think of it like a really big pillow case. I put the pillow case on inside out so I do the same for the duvet cover.

AutoBNN: Probabilistic time series forecasting by Google
"Google Research has released AutoBNN, a new tool for time series forecasting using Bayesian neural networks. It promises better efficiency and model flexibility than traditional methods.
But you did ship good things and ran out of money anyways it seems
For a queen size duvet I just stuff the entire duvet inside the cover and then align the two corners farthest from the hole, pinch from the outside and shake, takes less than a minute if I'm in a rush and no inversion required. I do have very long arms though, and maybe this would be faster for a king size duvet cover.
I could not disagree more strongly about the importance of a "CTO" in an early-stage startup. With few exceptions, you're talking about functions of engineering management. CTOs of established companies are almost as a rule not engineering managers.
Are Hedge Funds selection machines for extremely competitive immoral engineer-types?

What I find weirder is that people chase Ozempic even though they have introduced Wegovy. Which is basically the same drug but without glycemic control and hence more suited for non-diabetics. Both are Semaglutides and Wegovy directly targets weight loss.
Not all data on your PC are equally dangerous. The key is to keep Trusted Computing Base as small as possible. See: Qubes OS.
Why? EU have never gone after Apple or Google because of their prices. This isn't Apple. Novo Nordisk doesn't make medicine that only work if your other medicine is made by them or force you to use their payment card (?!?!?).

If your point is the price then the US could go after every single US medicine company.
This is like saying that every successful product manager should go found their own startup, which, come to think of it, fair enough.
This is an important insight.

It's easy to obsess over the idea of any data loss, because the value of some data is quite high. But for most people in most circumstances losing their cloud hosted photos is probably not a big deal, and it's also probably far less likely than the users losing locally stored photos due to some mistake of their own.
They make duvet covers that zip all the way down two sides. And they make little padded clips for the corners so there is no tying.
> trained pilots following procedure would have responded appropriately and avoided a crash.

Boeing acted like there was nothing different about the new aeroplanes and therefore did not train the pilots in how to react to the new system. Indeed, that was the original point of MCAS - to avoid pilot re-training. The pilots were not trained in doing the "right thing" and so had no chance of recovering the aircraft. I don't think it's right to blame them. Regardless of whether their overall training was of higher standard, I don't think American pilots would have fared any better since they, too, would have been in the dark.

> how much energy is "$265 billion of aluminium", and so how much energy are we talking about such that 1 ohm transmission loss would amount to that

I don't understand the question.

$265 bn of aluminium is a square metre cross section going around the equator and back to the start, or any equivalent network.

How much energy can be conveyed through that depends how long it lasts, which depends on the specifics, and how much power on average it is used to convey over that lifetime.

Many grids are showing their age at 70-100 years. Perhaps it would last that long.

Perhaps we'd choose to put the entire world electricity supply through it continuously so that Anchorage nighttime in winter is powered by the simultaneous New Zealand daytime summer. Or perhaps we won't.

But these kinds of question are the domain of geopolitics and global economics, so the best I can do is give the numbers that show a very small electrical resistance is objectively quite cheap — significantly less than the US alone is planning on spending to modernise its grids.

My speculative reaction: Prolog offers a way to describe an AI "commander" that can make plans that optimize for many units simultaneously. This technique is often used in strategy games, not usually with Prolog itself but using similar hand-written planner algorithms in tandem with FSMs.

One of the downsides of this approach where it appears in games is that it results in unit behaviors that look robotic and overly micromanaged, often using tactics similar to early computer chess AI.
On top of research, FDA approval doesn’t come for free either.
It's not part of std exactly, it's part of alloc. It's re-exported by std.

It would still be available in a #![no_std] environment using `extern crate alloc`.

This crate generally abstracts over the concept of allocation too, so relying on it doesn't require you to also have an allocator - it just requires someone at some point specify one with #[global_allocator]

It wasn’t my suggestion, but what I read way back in the day, and it may not be accurate but it does not violate the laws of physics. It’s entirely possible that (just as one hypothetical example) being able to keep the engine at optimal RPMs at all times in a series hybrid creates more efficiency even after the extra conversion losses.
It's not simply vulnerable code: it's an actual backdoor. That is malware distribution (without permission) and is therefore illegal.

The cheapest option would be self-hosting something ModSecurity compatible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ModSecurity

You'd also need a ruleset, for which the OWASP one might be a starting point: https://owasp.org/www-project-modsecurity-core-rule-set/

There are also some projects like Coraza in the works: https://coraza.io/

Probably not what you're looking for if you want a cloud service to take care of everything for you, though, because of the question below (just thought that it might be useful to point out that anyone can run their own WAF if need be).

> WAF mainly protects against ddos right?

Typically WAF might be offered as a part of a larger cloud service that would include DDoS protection.

However, on its own, it is meant to filter traffic that might be harmful and attempt to exploit various vulnerabilities. A bit like an anti-virus in a sense, but for web requests. Some people argue that WAF solutions can be problematic because they encourage an attitude of "so what if there's a log4j vulnerability in the codebase, the WAF will take care of it" instead of making sure that the actual code is secure, but opinions are split there (defense in depth and the Swiss cheese model).
I don't follow you. Osama Bin Laden said that the bombing of the WTC was in retaliation for Israel bombing Beirut:

> God knows it did not cross our minds to attack the towers but after the situation became unbearable and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed - when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the US sixth fleet.

Desoxyn (methamphetamine) has been used for ADHD treatment also. If I had to guess, it's somewhat less effective than other blends with a higher potential for addiction.

I have flirted with the idea of trying to get (pure) meth on the black market as an ADHD treatment during times where I was having trouble getting Adderall. I would only use it for this if I also had access to testing and could determine purity, so I could dose appropriate. Fortunately I've never been that desperate and unmedicated that I needed to take this risk.

I was also prescribed 3 different amphetamine blends over the last 26 years (Vyvanse, Adderall, and Dexedrine) as well as taken a 14-year break from all ADHD meds over the same period.

I do somewhat wonder if the size of the black market for amphetamines is so large in countries which outright ban amphetamines for ADHD treatment is in part due to people with ADHD self medicating (Yaba in Thailand for example, which now appears to be on the path to decriminalization)
Absolutely, I am just saying that you are talking on now all the inconsistencies of a third party management system and building your solution on top of that; you don't get the infra savings and benefits of managing your own, you gain some velocity for now and as big name clients probably will be stable for a few years.

I had a problem just recently where I worked at a place that's using blue/green aws rds deployments with mysql replication, and binlogs cant be moved in that service.

This is something that is bog simple in a non-managed service, and as a result we can either manage app replication, re-sync data on each b/g upgrade, or do physical replication (slow). My point isn't that rds is bad, it's just that if you are already deciding to implement your own significant infrastructure on top of database it seems weird to me to not just have the knobs on the thing itself.

Though you could say the same is true of the storage, and tbqh most of the cloud storage is dogshit these days but we just deal with it.
The BoM is of course only a small part of the cost and there is lots of work time and prototypes that need to be paid off by selling finished devices. I‘m sorry if that sounded like I thought that the price might be too high. Thanks for your efforts!
I'm not Pharma industry expert but ... I'm pretty sure it's much the same as venture capital.

That is to say that's it's not that expensive to R&D it, certainly compared to the eventual sale price, but it's carrying the cost of the hundred potential drugs that never made it to market that's the killer.
The tricky part is identifying which systems programmers can be garbage collected and when.

Let’s be reasonable here: CDNs aren’t free. They might be spending a couple of cents per user!

Thyroid cancer is one catch.
The key to what I'm envisioning is that it wouldn't break a site like ESPN entirely -- it would just break the SPA behavior by making links behave like links. The end result is that the site would be more usable, not less.

For sites where SPA behavior is necessary (like Spotify), opting in could be done with a one-time browser prompt, like how location access and DRM playback are handled.

This seems like a more realistic solution than just avoiding these sites altogether, for the same reason that people use ad blockers instead of just shunning sites with ads.

I understand why companies do this but I sure don't like it. They often use Discourse, which I find to be a lot less readable than GitHub (the design follows what I call "duploification" -- the elements are all large and surrounded by too much whitespace!)

On top of that it's yet another site I have to sign up with if I want to interact with the community.

I'm also mindful of the risks of centralization. Discord and its lack of external archives is a prime example of how that can be harmful. I'm just not sure if that risk outweighs the costs and annoyances.

Midjourney's initial success was a combination of elusive marketing and a unique style. They focused on building a large community and took advantage of constant feedback.

Have you looked at Hermès' business model? It has never been about their logo. They'll often hide it from their product.
Ha, I always thought it was weird that Atherton didn't have sidewalks but I didn't know it was prohibited by law.

I guess it kind of makes sense in a way, though. The thing about Atherton is the lot sizes are enormous, so even if they did have sidewalks it wouldn't make sense to walk anywhere. It would take forever just to walk three houses down the street and you'd just be walking past a giant wall or hedge with nothing to look at. Sidewalks would be wasted.
Emad is Robin Hood. Took VC wealth and redistributed it to the masses. Would love to see this more often. Do we really want Microsoft to monopolize AGI? At this rate average citizens won't even have computers capable of running a command prompt, all devices will be like iOS consumption only. "Sorry Dave, you're not allowed to open a terminal."

The irony is that a lead-acid battery, a carbon granule microphone and
an electromagnetic earpiece represent the simplest technology which I
understood as a 7 year old - enough to build my own telephone so
friends could talk from the tree house. Even the electromagnetic
routers that use pulse dialling are simple enough for a kid to
understand.

This is now third-world tech that we can't keep up with [0].

The death of fundamental expertise permeates the western "post

maintain it are dying out or giving up. They're being replaced by a
generation raised on smartphone apps and wishful thinking.

Maybe the demise of Boeing is the template to watch for the next 10
years as more things fall apart under the gross mismanagement by a
deluded corporate class.

Of course those of us who dabble in things like "physics and
engineering" and do stuff like "resilience and planning" are just
Luddites and old men who shout at clouds, right?

No, it’s for the massive upfront cost of research and regulatory approval.

The stuff basically sells itself at this point; marketing probably doesn’t even register in their budget for it.
I wonder if there could be system where power grid tells customers when power is limited and they voluntarily reduce power based on their need. This is similar to system for limiting off-peak usage.

It does require customers to install a smart panel to control what gets power, and controller to drive it. There might be enough savings in off-peak power to get people to install it. They would also be a good idea for local batteries since those don't usually do full power.
Something I've always noticed with the notion of Kolmogorov complexity is that the question of determining the lowest level of computation is problematic.

For example, in the article, the author first defines the basic idea of KC. But then they correctly point out that the basic idea depends very much on the exact language that is chosen. So they describe how theorists have defined the notion of universal computation. But even this adjustment doesn't seem to escape the fact the we still depend on a system of mathematical symbols to describe the theory. And the notion of a Turing machine itself depends on other abstract concepts such as time and space, each with their own inherent, conceptual complexity. What sorts of minds (i.e. brains) are required to make sense out of the theory and what physical system is required for them to operate correctly? If the definition of KC includes a notion of how complex the Turing machine is that is required to compute a string, then the further down you go, the less the difference in complexity should be between any one string and another. After all, they all exist in the same universe!

I guess it just goes to show how much the idea of KC lives in the realm of theory. As soon as you pose the question of complexity so abstractly, you invite in all kinds of theoretical considerations that make the meaning more slippery. That's why KC really doesn't deserve to be compared to Shannon entropy as it often is.

But let me draw a comparison anyway like I said you shouldn't! Because Alice from the article could also have made a strong argument against Bob by just pointing out that the Shannon entropy of his string was lower, which is very relevant in terms of the number of heads or tails and the likelihood of seeing a particular count of them.
sorry, what do you mean by "Consciousness regularly/usually claims to have omniscient knowledge of all that is, something which is not supported by physics."? i do not follow what you mean by consciousness claiming to know something - consciousness is not an entity that sense? Your usage of consciousness as an entity doesn't seem to make sense to me.
That's great that DevOps (or whatever their title) owns both product and marketing sites. Far too many companies (and DevOps teams) think the www site is "not important" or "not their core job" and outsource it to either a less qualified team, or out of the company altogether.

From an external perspective no one cares if www going down isn't "your fault" or of "direct impact to the product". It's a corporate blackeye either way.
I get that point, but given that Ozempic sells for significantly less in other countries I think it's worth considering why it's that much more expensive in the US
$60/month, but that does include 100 GB of storage that you might otherwise have to store on a $20 SD card.
I agree; I meant “including” in the non-restrictive sense, not “including only”. Stack allocation is a special case where the lifetimes are arranged in a convenient way—see also escape analysis in languages where stack allocation isn't explicitly supported at the language level but can be added by the compiler.
It takes $300m to $2B to get a drug approved.

And the approval rate is less than 12%.

The crazy pricing is to compensate for the failed projects.

Also, it's not like you can bootstrap yourself or grow organically like Startups.

You have to wait for like 10 - 15 years. To actually start selling it.

As someone whose been on and off amphetamines for almost 3 decades (with about 14 years of that unmedicated), I'd say all the prescription amphetamines I've been on (Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse) are pretty similar and anti-addictive for me. Due to side effects I'd strongly prefer not to take them, but do so when I need to because they help me stay on task.

I'm currently prescribed Concerta (which should be much more similar to Ritalin IIRC) and find it somewhat less effective at ADHD treatment (I also fortunately have a lot of leftover Adderall due to avoiding it on days I don't need it), but I can't imagine it's any less addictive for me since I don't like taking the amphetamine drugs in the first place.
But you are also speaking as someone who already knows Rust. If we take a step back and imagine someone who knows neither, what's easier to learn, a high level language or a low level one? (I don't think pointing out that Rust has high level aspects alters the relative situation)

Take two programs with historical success in building this kind of plugin system: Emacs and Browser. The number of non-programmers who can write elisp (or javascript) but won't dare to touch C/C++ code in the core layer probably outweighs the opposite by a huge factor.

Because it won't sort itself out.

An incandescent ban is the only thing that is going to keep people like my parents from using them.

My father does not understand efficiency at this point in his life.

"Why would I pay two dollars for a new LED light bulb, when I can get four of the regular ones for a dollar?"

He does not understand that the inexpensive incandescent bulb is going cost him more a lot more than two dollars by the time it burns out. I've tried explaining it to him, and he seems to understand it very well each and every time, but he's old and he forgets.

At least he has someone like me who will try (over and over again) to give him straight advice that will save him some money.

But most people aren't like me, and they are not like you. They don't hang out here on HN. They may have no understanding of how these things work, or how efficiently works. They may even be misinformed and making decisions with bad information.

So, no: The invisible hand of the free market will not and can not sort it out by itself, because the free market does not have good technical literacy.

Meanwhile, the downsides to the ban are what? Rudeness? Sorry, but I'm not Canadian enough for that to matter to me.
No it’s also ludicrously expensive to R&D a drug, even if you just count the costs of the successful program. You’d be looking at easily $50-$150MM just in clinical trial costs, not to mention the years or decades of preclinical work.

Factor in the failed programs and you’re looking at about $2B of spend in order to bring a drug to market.
Why those things specifically?
so it would be better for orzempic to cost $850,000 and limit its indication to people with MODY?

How is that realistic?

TBH I have way less a problem with pharma industry being allowed to make profits than health insurance companies. In fact the US is about the only country in the world that allows profits from health insurance.
