Living in Europe, I would rather be in NATO than not. I do not know if the other NATO countries would come to my country's defense, but the important thing is that the opponents of NATO do not know if they would not.

I am not sure what NATO should be winning. We are not currently, formally at war, so to me that seems like winning enough. If NATO is not winning, then who is?

My dad was willing to do stuff, he went vegan for 6+ months and various other things. Pretty much anything a popular diabetes book would tell him. He could be compliant, he just needed the advice to come from an accredited medical professional.

I get that most people won’t make lifestyle changes, so a big part of the medical system is about medicating people so they can not die, while living something close to the life they had before… but that should not be the assumed course for every patient.

Doctors should be presenting and pushing for the lifestyle changes they can lead to what is effectively a cure. It should not be assumed the patient knows all this stuff. If the patient is unwilling or unable to make those changes, then other courses of action should be used.

Type 2 is caused by having chronically high blood sugar levels. It would stand to reason that removing the sugar would allow the body to return to normal function. Continuing to eat sugar, using insulin to handle the levels, is just going to make things worse and worse over time, it will never get better. It makes 0 sense for this to be the default way to handle it, without even mentioning the lifestyle change and why it would work to get a person’s system back to normal functioning (assuming they aren’t too far gone and don’t have something else going on).

Not really. In this context they're a hint to the optimizer to evaluate the CTE result store=materialize it somewhere and use that snapshot when the CTE is queried subsequently.

The alternative means the CTE is copy-pasted essentially and them evaluated.

The closest one can get to materialized views in SQLite is probably with CREATE TABLE AS. Drop and recreate.
My bad, I should have added "/s" (because Cunningham's Law). It was a reference to Futurama, where a problem was not solved at all.

But on a more serious note, in my experience I've not had any issues with Go or Rust codebases (for example). Not using their formatters is heavily frown upon, so I haven't really seen any reformat happen at all; not in my bubble at least[1].

Other languages, on the other hand? Yeah, good luck with trying to have consistent formatting. Even if a project has formatting rules "enforced", there's always (always) going to be an exception, bikeshedding, etc.

[1]: Unless it's someone obviously very junior. The few times I've noticed badly formatted code in Go, has been in random repos from someone who clearly didn't have that much programming experience in general (looking at how code was written).
Thanks, I wanted to point out the exact same glaring omission. Unbelievable! :')

I roofed in FL for an entire summer. The guys aren’t dumb.

The biggest benefit would be drug addiction counseling for them.

The real point of the law was to hurt the Mexican crews. The Hispanic crews are weary of getting reported and deported for anything, they work faster, cheaper, and underbid the white crews. So enact the law, and the larger Spanish crews suddenly have a reason to be examined. The Spanish/Mexican crews have larger teams and pay everyone less so they rotate the guys more. Add a law of mandatory breaks plus an inspector and finally the white crews can keep up!

This noble law was smartly planned a phrased to appeal to your do good sensibilities but would hurt imo the hardest working illegals I’ve ever met.
What do you mean by reformat? Any decent code formatter keeps a consistent style. Getting conflics only happens if you missconfigure your editor or don't have checks to catch invalid formatting before merging to remote.
Sure, I'm opened to some strict law enforcement and heavy fines to make sure the company doesn't step outside their boundaries.
No, in this case "all but" means "as good as, or worse, than the bottom 2/5 of doctors tested on a written exam", see table 1.
After decades of migraines I was diagnosed with Chronic Daily Migraines. I was prescribed a 'under the tongue' triptan which if the migraine aura arrived during the day worked some of the time. If I woke with the migraine at 10/10 pain level than I lost the full day.

One of my daughters also had weekly migraines, lost a day at work each time.

I got a Daith piercing in my right ear - my migraines originated on the right side of my head. Yes the piercing stung, but the next day I had no migraine. The constant pain had just stopped. This was maybe 7-8 years ago. I very rarely get odd migraine symptoms - vision feels off, head feels woolly - but no pain at all.

I convinced my daughter to have a Daith. She now doesn't even get regular headaches.

Anecdotal though this is, I would suggest looking into getting this piercing. It is discreet. There is no formal research I am aware of but for this sample of two it was a huge positive.
Disagree. The comment is on price. Price is driven by a huge number of factors. It's not as simple as "if nuclear is successful, price is low otherwise it's high". One of those reasons is that when someone is more available you consume more, making price sticky.

Also, consider where that comment comes from. It comes from a person who benefits from arguing that nuclear has magical economic powers. So you're saying that it's ok to say "nuclear failed because it didn't live up to ridiculous hype?". No, nonsense. Nuclear has been a huge success.

This is not an interview, just a collection of selected quotes.
Since flex layouts are widly addopted I seriously never run into centering issues anymore. Either vertical and horizontal alignment is very easy. Also with dynamic font sizes/lengths. I honestly see more issues in performance, since nested flex layouts can cause quite some layout passes which are not always known to the developers, but noticable on older/slower phones.
But then that won't be centred.
I personally find the explanation very satisfying, actually! So many fractals are a complex embodiment of a simple rule, and this idea (complexity from simplicity) permeates everything in the natural world. That this extends to proteins is a wonderful discovery.
Yes CSS is hard, yes declaratively anticipating all the various types of media you may display on and their relative interaction is a nightmare of variables. BUT, that is enough to justify the inversion from using declarative markup to actually writing some procedural code. Write a function to measure the screen, measure the elements on it, and adjust them dynamically at runtime.

Boston Dynamics' new humanoid robot
From a species POV, the truly stupid thing is that there is plenty of money to be made de-carbonizing our economies. Two of the main problems are purely psychological:

1) It would require people with money to take chances, when the status quo has made them wealthy

2) It requires politically dogmatic people to be much less dogmatic
Because it's Google
This is what surprised me. It looks as a common sense approach, but it is on the front page of hn.
None of the airship concept art in that article looks like it passes a simple weight-to-lift ratio check. Real airships have a tiny usable compartment relative to the total size of the vessel, and everything is optimised for weight.

And sure, carrying one, or a few small planes is possible. But real combat planes are heavier, they require more fuel, ammunition is heavy, especially if we want something beyond basic machine gun rounds. And of course we will need crew, including life support. Leaving the planes hanging under the belly is no good if we want to do basically any kind of maintenance, even loading ammunition could be tricky in this position. But an indoor hangar, and mechanisms for getting planes in and out is just more weight. Realistically we will end up with way fewer and smaller planes than any seaborne aircraft carrier can support.

There are suggestions of adding something reminiscent of ship deck guns, but there is no way we have weight budget for that with all the planes, and I doubt the frame of the whole ship is actually rigid enough to absorb the shock of firing a big cannon. I think some light machine gun placements will have to do.

We also got the suggestion of the whole thing flying so high that it would be out of range of land-based AA weapons. That sounds neat, but the higher we want to fly, the less lift we get per volume, and we already spend a good part of the lift on just the hull, engines and fuel, we can't actually go terribly high before the number of planes supported drops to 0.

But for all this trouble, we will get a fortress in the sky! A fortress made of balsa wood and paper-thin skin that is. Minor bullet holes is one thing, the helium leaks really really slowly. But say someone drops a fire bomb on top of the hull, helium rushing out might extinguish the fire, but not until there is already a pretty big hole for that helium to rush out through. Basically our carrier is really big, really expensive, and really easy to hit.

What this work actually shows is that a bunch of scientists are ignorant about how LLMs work, but are rushing to publish papers about them anyway. It is ridiculous for Thirunavukarasu to draw this conclusion from GPT-4's performance on a written ophthalmology exam.

From the good folks at AI Snake Oil[1]

> Memorization is a spectrum. Even if a language model hasn’t seen an exact problem on a training set, it has inevitably seen examples that are pretty close, simply because of the size of the training corpus. That means it can get away with a much shallower level of reasoning....In some real-world tasks, shallow reasoning may be sufficient, but not always. The world is constantly changing, so if a bot is asked to analyze the legal consequences of a new technology or a new judicial decision, it doesn’t have much to draw upon. In short, as Emily Bender points out, tests designed for humans lack construct validity when applied to bots.

> On top of this, professional exams, especially the bar exam, notoriously overemphasize subject-matter knowledge and underemphasize real-world skills, which are far harder to measure in a standardized, computer-administered way. In other words, not only do these exams emphasize the wrong thing, they overemphasize precisely the thing that language models are good at.

Also[2]:

> Undoubtedly, AI and LLMs will transform every facet of what we do, from research and writing to graphic design and medical diagnosis. However, its current success in passing standardized test after standardized test is an indictment of what and how we train our doctors, our lawyers, and our students in general.
ChatGPT passed an examination that rewards memorizing the components of a system rather than analyzing how it works, how it fails, how it was created, how it is maintained. Its success demonstrates some of the shortcomings in how we train and evaluate medical students. Critical thinking requires appreciation that ground truths in medicine continually shift, and more importantly, an understanding how and why they shift. Perhaps the most important lesson from the success of LLMs in passing examinations such as the USMLE is that now is the time to rethink how we train and evaluate our students.

I wonder if someone more knowledgeable than me about this could say something about nitrogen concentration in the water:

I'm wary of that site but it has me wondering what some of the biologists there would say.

You can actually still do it. Just don't measure until after the fonts and elements are in place. dynamically adjust the position afterward. There is no rule that says you must use only CSS
What annoys me most about German vs English is that German has lots of English loanwords ending in "y" (e.g. "Party"), but it's officially not allowed to use the plural form that would be correct in English, e.g. "Parties" - you have to write "Partys". As a bonus, you could try using "Party's", but that would be incorrect again...
That’s a great idea, but I think there are not enough interested people right now. We basically just started getting attention and to be honest I don't think the server will be very active at the moment. Instead, we have a google group for communication:

For some reason I found this line particularly funny and poignant:

No, in Spanish double negations are not positive statements.
First, let's put things into perspective: in a world of 8 billion people, only around 27 million are software developers – this mere 0.3% – wield a disproportionate influence over our daily lives. From smartphones to critical infrastructure, their code shapes our reality. It's mind-boggling to think that such a small group of people holds the key to our digital age!
Here in Germany, the "Deutschlandticket", a country-wide public transportation ticket, is currently valid only via smartphone or "Chipkarte" (smart card). Unfortunately that smart card isn't available everywhere and won't be before early next year. It seems rather like a policy snafu then intended though [1].

Very unlikely. Ammonia poisoning can kill fishes in a closed small aquarium, but this fishes are coastal and marine and very mobile. In the ocean we would need an awful lot of ammonia for the same symptoms. And we would have a very noticeable bloom first in the water joined with tons of stranded dead fishes.
The hardest problem in computer science is how to design a forum that isn't dominated by negativity.
> I get the impression they would be perfectly happy shipping nothing for long periods.

I wouldn't say _happy_, but we were certainly _willing_ to do this for long periods of time to get the right foundation built (for reference, we built for 5 years before launching). This is made explicit in the opening:

> As a result of following the framework, product development may sometimes come to a screeching halt. The work itself may be tedious and frustrating. Progress may take many multiples of the time it would take using other methods.

As for this item:

The tech used for investors was different to what ended up in the product. There are some videos of Oculus/Meta VR labs that show what a room filled with mirrors, lasers and cameras can demonstrate.
I've been using linux for some 15-20 years depending on how you count. The last 3 i've been using PopOs! as a complete windows replacement. Gaming works great (with the usual caveats) and everything has been a pleasant experience.

I've never been a gnome fan almost always switching to xfce but on PopOs! its alright!

I'm very much looking forward being able to drop Gnome and use Cosmic instead - having thumbnailsupport is going to be an improvement.
It's not a better product, you're just going against net neutrality and charging more to "unlock" your bandwidth.
If that's a child of an "AI", I'm not sure does they even need "food" in form of carbohydrates, fats and proteins (or amino acids) that humans need. Electricity is all they need, probably. Or maybe even directly it's light, if they're an optical computing device. Or if you purely regard them as a software thing, computing power is all they need.

Much lesser needs of dwelling space, too.
Under no circumstances, it’s a microkernel for embedded systems.

I reckon you want some kind of publish-subscribe websocket setup, with event streams. Something like Apache Pekko, or Elixir, or maybe Redis, so the web browser subscribes to a topic they're authorised to receive updates on. And then separately, subscribe listeners on the backend to the tables, and fan out updates to the various topics. They'd get moved out to the frontend. "reactive" would be the name of the game, so event streams, managing backpressure, etc, etc.

Something like the "stale while revalidate" strategy (eg as used by react-query) is wayyyy simpler however, and gets you most of the way there. You can set a timeout for when to invalidate the frontend cache to something short if you wanted (eg 3 seconds), and if the content is still being viewed by a component after that time it just fetches itself again while keeping the stale data in place. And for the few pieces that truly are realtime, like a stock ticker or something, just use a direct websocket.
They probably mean because of stuff like:

"Our Python codebase is old af and has inconsistent styling. Should we start using black/ruff to format it?"

"Hmm that's maybe a bit too intrusive. Could autopep8 be enough? Since it follows the recommendations of the PSF, so it's a more 'official' way of formatting, and it should be more future-proof [famous last words]."

"Hey, I heard this pyxkcd927 formatter just came out, and it also automatically fixes linter warnings [meaning, different output]. Any thoughts on migrating to this?"
Vaguely related I'm finding UIs are so flat, we must be getting close to single gold atom thickness. I wonder when bevels and skeumorphs will be back? These days there's tons of nostalgia for 90s magazine style serifs, but without the gonzo UI. What gives?

Unfortunately, Firefox on Android still has a long way to go. I have to resort to using Chromite (Bromite fork) with NextDNS for adblocking, otherwise the browsing experience on mobile is not really good.

What is the problem you are hoping to resolve with this?
That might be the thing that makes me most optimistic about AI.

Not because they’re super useful. They are, if and only if you use them right, which is a skill few people seem to have.

But because they’re illuminating flaws in how we’re train our students, and act as a forcing function to _make_ the universities and schools fix that. There’s no longer any choice!
... That's just nonsense. Normal scientists working in genetics don't believe in race. The field has moved on from the 40s. It's not a conspiracy, there's just no evidence, because why should there be? It would be very surprising if a bunch of 19th century racists had accidentally discovered a deep truth about genetics before anybody had even discovered DNA.

Honestly, you just sound like you're a racist. Which is sad, but it's also indicative of a lack of common sense that you expect the universe to conform to your prejudices.
It makes sense that Google would want to push jobs from high-cost centers to low-cost ones. The only question is why they haven't done so more aggressively.
