No, it is nowhere near like that. Food is a particularly bad example, as the food industry is extremely wasteful overall, with a huge percentage of all food produced being thrown away at all levels of the production chain all the way to the final consumer.

In addition, most companies that package food in various ways, including major restaurants, either own or contract farming business for specific quantities of specific crops ahead of time, spending large amounts of time to negotiate contracts to this effect, and sometimes working even closer when a particular result is required.

If you find yourself craving Mongolian food one night, you may often simply find that none is available, at any price you are willing to pay, unless you worked with someone to make some months in advance. And conversely if you open a Mongolian restaurant, you may just not find any customers for it and waste significant money on it. (substitute Mongolian with any other food that is not commonly eaten or even thought about in your area)
Mail, VPN, Pass & Drive have been great for me over the past year. The lack of proper native desktop applications has been a setback for a few colleagues and is worth considering before migrating.

Did you read the article? The whole point is that African companies are replacing GOOG and MSFT with Zoho because Zoho is more responsive to their needs.

Increasingly, American companies cannot expect to succeed internationally on the strength of brand alone, if they are not willing to customize their product and service offerings to meet local requirements.
Writers are the most common counter-example I can think of for this. There were many prolific, successful writers who had multiple children.
They can't legally be allowed to use email content to train public models. The data leaks that could result will be unbelievable. It could be used to train private LLMs within organizations that own the emails. But Youtube comments work.
For one, Proton can't inspect your content (at rest) for TOS violations. And as a smaller company, they 1) can't afford to lock accounts in as sloppy an automated fashion as MS and Google are known to, and 2) have actual humans working support.
Sure, there are fruitful parallels. But actually, energy is much 'realer' or more fundamental here than temperature. BTW, those λ_j Lagrangian multipliers can be negative, so don't map onto inverse temperature well. They're more like interaction weights in a Hopfield network.

But there's one setting in which the energy E(x) = Σ_j λ_j H_j(x) really does become a physical (physics-esque) energy: if you sample from the distribution using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (an MCMC algorithm). Then E(x) is the potential energy of a sample/particle at position x, which is also given a kinetic energy K with the sume E+K held constant as the particle moves about to explore the distribution. It's a cool algorithm but after having used it I'm still not sure how useful it is.

There was a story about how many legislative bills introduced in the US were written by lobbyists a few years ago that might have benefited from these tools:

https://publicintegrity.org/politics/state-politics/copy-pas...

> "Using data provided by LegiScan, which tracks every proposed law introduced in the U.S., we pulled in digital copies of nearly 1 million pieces of legislation introduced between 2010 and Oct. 15, 2018."

The scoring system used seems fairly simple in comparison to what AI can do:
> "Our scoring system is based on three factors: the longest string of common text between a model and a bill; the number of common strings of five or more words; and the number of common strings of 10 or more words."
I have this and it works great. I wrote a script for it that checks my google calendar to make sure I'm not in a meeting (nothing worse than your desk suddenly moving positions when you're in the middle of talking to folks) and then moves my desk to a standing position for a configured amount of time every day. https://github.com/signalnine/upsy-desky-autostand
Having lived in Japan, I recall monstrous class sizes of 40 or so, with only one kid that needed "Japanese as a second language" classes (that was me).

And, I live in Florida now, and the public schools here also have lunch at 10 am because they don't want to fund building a new cafeteria. It's real. But, we don't have "woke" problems anymore, I guess.
I've been pretty satisfied with Proton Mail, but have opted to not use their other services. The point of setting up a non-Google email for me was to decentralize my dependencies so they aren't all tied to one company.
Agreed. I also forgot:

c/ as far as I can tell, "jobs" have been steadily becoming less skilled over the centuries (because we expect people to switch more frequently between them?); can we accelerate that?

So might a way out be that people do regular 100 IQ people stuff (yoga instructors, community theatre, etc.) and automation does (almost) all the heavy lifting?

Bring on the Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy? If the Morlocks of the future are electronic, they won't want to eat us Eloi anyway? (burning a human for electricity is even more wasteful than giving it spin classes)
Indeed. But the definition of what is protected and by what methods can be somewhat idealistic.

As an almost absurdist starting point that highlights this spectrum - several eons ago byproducts from bacteria poisoned the atmosphere and threatened life on earth until plants and eventually animals evolved, enabling homeostasis to occur.

And some people today live at the periphery of Chernobyl by choice, much like the animals in the exclusion zone that are thriving.

So it's reasonable to point to an implemented standard and consider it an ideal, perhaps even worth defending!
Same here. I gave up on Protonmail, even after getting my family to switch to it. Ultimately the lack of good email searching was a dealbreaker. Fastmail has been great, especially with a custom domain and masked emails (the 1Password integration that auto creates them is great when it works).

Seems that Protonmail has made some improvements for the searching but people are still complaining. Oddly enough I'm also using Mullvad but I couldn't be bothered to get it via Tailscale as I share my subscription with my dad.
Not sure where you're basing that on. Household debt is up and wages have been stagnant for decades.
The last time the union asked for bathroom breaks Ronald Reagan shut down the nation's airspace for weeks and partially militarized that function in order to fire nearly all of the workforce.

It is regarded as a historic, symbolic landmark act, shorthand for a turning point wherein the US collectively rejected unions.

Casting this as a cost problem is part of the political problem. There is little discussion of sticking to narrow market solutions when it comes to war, yet we blithely put out billions dollars for various form of defense and really don’t ask how are we going to pay

The cost of not fixing climate change is going to be a much higher financial impact than the cost of governments programs to shift our energy. It’s already fiscally prudent for our economy to take care of late change even if every dollar of that is deficit funded (which there is actually not a need to structure the fix that extremely).

It’s only political lobbying of extremely wealthy fossil fuel corporations and billionaires that stands in the way.
In part they've built their image and business by siding with dissidents and persecuted groups.

That's quite different from MICROS~1.

You do realize the books already talks a lot about why? All subjects already include so many whys that students just filters it out, people just fondly remember the few subjects where they didn't filter out all the interesting parts.

The result is that students just memorize the whys, sure you can always go beyond that and have fun in every class but that has very little to do with the teacher bringing it up, because the teachers brings that up in almost every class or at least the books does. So, that they focused on why is still rote memorization just like the focus on facts, sure facts do tell an interesting tale but if people ignore that and just memorize the facts then they aren't any fun. It is the same way with looking at "why", it is just a bunch of facts in the end and most students makes that boring.

> Sure, you can find some worst case of student and worst case of teacher where this can devolve into being no better than raw memorization

No, that is the normal case, almost everyone here did this which is why they have so horrible memories from school. You too probably did this, memorized stuff when the teacher desperately tried to get you to engage with it in more interesting ways, otherwise you wouldn't have thought it is so rare for such teaching to fail, because if you really saw all the teachers that tried you couldn't have had that opinion since you'd see all your classmates zone out and be bored and ask for rote memorization details.

I've never ever seen a schoolbook that was just a list of facts, it just isn't a thing, students still doesn't engage.
One of the things I find interesting about the limited general intelligence of language models (about which I tend to be pretty deflationary) is that my own thought processes during programming are almost entirely non-verbal. I would find it to be incredibly constraining to have to express all my intermediate thoughts in the form of text. It is one of the things that makes me think we need a leap or two before AGI.

It is useful and perhaps very useful for journalists and other people who use it onetime. It is very ill suited for massive automation at the moment, and that’s a real problem everyone struggles with.

The application of embedding vectors without the rest of the LLM can presently deliver much sustainable innovation. At least compared to present day SOTA models (imho of course).
I use proton as my daily driver for email, calendar, and vpn. Overall the entire suite gets a 6-7/10 for me. They all do exactly what they need to, calendar has been improving a lot, and has a dedicated iOS app nowadays which is a great improvement.

I do not use Proton drive or pass so I can't comment on those. But the email, cal, and vpn do exactly what I need them to.

Unfortunately, global companies want more than physical plant - they want the entire set of reliable infrastructure; meanwhile, international employees want to move to a "livable" place that will also meet their social needs. Bit of a chicken-and-egg problem.
The USA, as nuclear state, has armed Kurdish forces which Turkey, a nuclear sharing state, has described as terrorists.

Russia, as a nuclear state, has armed the Wagner Group, which France, a nuclear state, has described as terrorist.

Israel, a nuclear state, has armed settlers in the West Bank, which can be described as terrorists.

Israel, a nuclear state, has engaged and participated in terrorist activities in the past. Israel probably got their first bomb in 1963, Israel was using car bombs against PLO officials as late as 1981 via terrorist fronts.
> tastier

I often see this mentioned during discussions of home cooking as if it were objective truth, but it confuses me because I enjoy a pie from the local pizza parlor as much as I enjoy my boeuf bourguignon. It's a different experience for sure. There's pleasure to be had in taking the time for the mise en place and coming up with tweaks over time to micro-optimize the flavor, but is it really tastier?

"were as"
I’d like to mention that The Art of Assembly Language didn’t feel like a good resource to me, as it spoke largely about “High Level Assembly” which is an awful lot like C and didn’t really focus on CPU architecture in a particularly technical way.

I was expecting a bit more of a technical approach and was disappointed. If you’re in the same boat reference manuals and compiling to .s files may be the way to go.
I have had a mail account almost since launch, and within the last month signed up for the tier that includes VPN.

Haven't had any complaints about the mail service! In fact, I recently made the decision to completely drop gmail and it has been working great so far.

I do wish you could have separate emails funnel to separate inboxes that are accessible in the same UI. Right now you can only route to different folders, or create a separate account entirely and switch between them using a toggle in the app. I think functionally the separation need is met, just not in the way I prefer, so I'm not too upset about it.

The VPN has been fine so far when I sparingly use it. I would get a lot more use out of it when it has Apple TV support. I am holding out for that, apparently it is on the roadmap for this summer.
Ah, I see...

POST requests should be idempotent, ideally. PUT requests certainly must be; it's their defining characteristic. GET requests, though, just shouldn't have side-effects at all.

(A /toggle URL isn't idempotent. If it were /open and /close it would be, but still shouldn't be GET.)

To nitpick: __repr__() is meant to produce a string s.t. if read from (by the Python parser) and subsequently evaluated, will create an object as similar as possible to "self".

OP kind of messed that part up.

On other counts: I don't know... a lot of this seems true, but also very simple, to the point that I don't know if it needs a special mention. In other words, maybe, to get a better insight into how to make better API one needs to keep looking for "deeper" answers.

Also, a lot of practices and techniques this presentation argues against have their merits (eg. having explicit close() method is right out of "Zen of Python" which tells to use explicit over implicit).

Perhaps, a better analysis would try to defend the given approach in the light of the justification for the opposite, or, at least, try to assign weights to different approaches (eg. "if explicit code makes user code more prone to error, then implicit should be preferred").
No system built for a society that (sometimes) values kindness over honesty will ever give you honest answers. My wife still wants to leave big tips when the service is lousy "they're counting on it to be able to make rent". With stars or similar ratings systems, even cheapskates can be kind. Have you ever seen a thread where someone starts talking about "brutal honesty", and how people react to that term?

>If more than 50% of your replies are "this service was above average", then you have a meaningless system.

Only true mathematically if ratings are for internal comparison only. It could be that the service at restaurant A is consistently above average, because the service at restaurant B is consistently below average. Only their aggregate ratings should show it split half and half.
correlation implies causation
Well, low effect teams are much easier to spot than low effect individuals. So on this case, management actually has a way to solve the problem.

There's a valid moral question here, in short: why?

I care about helping other people.

Helping some type of amoral entity that's usually controlled by another amoral for-profit entity: why would I help those?

> Why create SerenityOS?

> When I asked Kling why he decided to write an operating system entirely from scratch, he had two answers. The first, pragmatic answer was he wanted a daily driver operating system for himself, by himself. Other users and developers were welcome, but—initially—they were largely showing up for the ride.

> The second answer is that SerenityOS started as a personal therapy project. Kling is a recovering addict, and he decided to build an operating system as a long-term project to focus his mind and occupy his time, similar to the way someone else might decide to build a car or house.

> Although Kling still considers SerenityOS to be his eventual daily driver, he's expanded the scope of "who it's for" from "me" to "us"—where "us" includes all the people who have shown up, taken a liking to the project, and decided to pitch in.

Eating at home made me realize how hard restaurants lean on salt and fat to make food taste good.

I don't like eating out anymore because it's all either expensive greasy over seasoned food, or extremely expensive tiny portion food that maybe tastes about the same as home cooked.

I started coding around 10 years old in 1994. I'm starting to feel old.
For awhile, I worked in an R&D/policy group that focused on these very issues in the healthcare domain.

I think my point still stands. Community funded programs that helps individuals find their next step, when funded appropriately, are often enormously successful. In the healthcare context, say you want to decrease the number of repeat folks to the ER without decreasing their access -- basically ounce of prevention vs. pound of cure approach. A representative example is person who regularly comes to the ER for insulin issues. In addition to cost pressure, there issues might also source from not have a working fridge or consistent electricity. It is thus cheaper for the social safety net to provide electricity and a basic fridge than to have the person return regularly to the ER for insulin.

Similar workflows and standard of care exist for almost every social ill -- if we have the civic sense to fund it -- to help people take the next step towards bettering their lives.
