That doesn't seem to be what the study they cited said though.

Basically the common model was that metabolism steadily declines with age (for adults). The study cited[1] says that doesn't match their data.

What they found was that metabolism was higher than expected for kids 1-20, stable for adults 21-60, and lower than expected for senior adults 60+. [2]

I don't want to say thresholds but you can look at the figures and see the rapid increase (0-1), decline (1-20), stability (21-60), and decline again (60+).

So age probably matters more to metabolism (than we thought) for some age groups but not for other age groups.

And I don't think there was really anything about lifestyle other than this bit:

> consistent with the hypothesis that energy intake is coupled to expenditure

But obviously that won't help anyone lose weight (which is usually what people are complaining about when they complain about an assumed slowing metabolism) cause it's saying people take in more calories when they burn more calories.

> feces or needles

I've seen many, many campsites of unhoused people. Like housed people's domiciles and yards, some are neat, some are messier. I don't see many specific problems.

I think the parent comment's characterization is a myth, in part because it maps so neatly to the common prejudices of people who are unfamiliar with unhoused people - especially that they are somehow so horrifyingly filthy, to the point of being subhuman, an object of their outrage - and not with the reality of it, including the real problems.

> feces

That's a red flag for me. People commonly play it as a trump card against unhoused people - again, that subhumanity and outrage. It clearly is chosen to press that emotional button, to bypass the listener's reason and compassion. We are probably well-evolved to have a disgust reaction to feces.

I've never seen it; I'm not sure how people so afraid of unhoused people have seen it so much. And how the heck did you know if it's from a dog or a person? What are the distinguishing characteristics? Did you examine it closely? I've seen city officials report it, but in limited experience: I've passed by encampments that were clean and neat, and then soon after read in the news that the city cleared the encampment due to the old 'feces and needles'. The reporting never checks the facts.

By far the feces I see most in regard to unhoused people is bull feces in textual form. That's easier to recognize!
How would you prefer the lobbyists act? Corporations do have interests and it’s sometimes beneficial for those interests to be taken into account when creating laws (e.g. Intel with fab construction).
If I ever stop seeing youngsters around me pairing off, or the slightly less young having children, I'll start worrying about wireheaded fertility crises.

Until then I'm burning cycles on more pressing sci-fi inspired problems, like whether or not it is ethical to derive sustenance from Eloi if you just drink their blood (like the Maasai?) instead of eating them (like the Fore?).
Your post is factually inaccurate.

You're referring to section (g)(3)(A)(i) and (g)(3)(A)(ii). Those are two of the categories the bill applies to under (g)(3)(A), however, you've completely failed to mention the entirety of the (g)(3)(B) categories.

Categories the bill also applies to per (g)(3)(B) that you did not mention include:

(g)(3)(B)(i) - is controlled by a foreign adversary; and that is determined by the President to present a significant threat to the national security of the United States following the issuance of—
(g)(3)(B)(i)(I) - a public notice proposing such determination; and
(g)(3)(B)(i)(II) - a public report to Congress, submitted not less than 30 days before such determination, describing the specific national security concern involved and containing a classified annex and a description of what assets would need to be divested to execute a qualified divestiture.

Maybe Biden decides that Hackernoon has users who are Russian state actors spreading "disinformation" (true, real, factual information that you were not supposed to know, like the lab leak hypothesis, Hunter Biden's laptop containing evidence of his corruption alongside a bunch of victimless "crimes", Nancy Pelosi committing illegal insider trading, Hilary Clinton operating an unlawful email server, etc), and therefore HN constitutes a "significant threat to the national security of the United States".

That sounds unrealistic to you? How about that happening to a politically disfavored owner of a company that is already being routinely snubbed by the white house, like Musk/Twitter?

This post treats being an expert as an unambiguously good thing. Richard Hamming's essay Experts has a bit more of a nuanced take on the topic. He talks how paradigm shifts in fields often come from outsiders, while at the same time acknowledging how increasing complexity neccessitates specialisation. I suppose Hamming's essay focuses on scientific and social gain, whereas this post focuses on personal gain.
Vocation and Moral Imagination : How do we “dwell in Possibility”?
The core problem is that Grant’s Pass is being asked to shoulder the homeless burden for the region. They are not being provided with any means of help, and their ability to remove those who cause an excessive burden is being taken away.

Look at Grant’s Pass on Google maps. It’s a small mountain town that looks like it has a low tax base in the best of times. If, at enormous cost to their tax base, adequate shelter is built, the only result will be more homeless who gravitate to their tiny town because its better than anywhere else in the region.

The problem and solutions are regional. Who should really be being sued is the state of Oregon or the federal government, but that is much more difficult to do.

If the ruling goes against Grant’s Pass, the result will be even more off-the-books policies to harass and intimidate the homeless until they move to the next town over, because every small town will see them not as human beings but as a potentially immense local tax liability that has to be moved before someone notices.

This is already false. Hamas violated ceasefires multiple times within the last 6 months alone.

> Meanwhile Israel has worked hard in making any future two-state solutions impossible

This is also false. Hamas's charter is to annihilate Israel. It is written in their charter. Yet you solely blame Israel.

On the flip side, does Israel have a charter to annihilate Palestine? Nope.

> The problem is for videos that have no transcript.

Whisper or other models can help with that too, but remember to preprocess to cut silence. The dataset tends to include ads in the captions, which results in hallucinated in from silence.

You could also add a transcript-evaluation step which checks whether this actually looks like a step-by-step video, but I'd consider skipping it for cost and efficiency. Trying to be helpful by evaluating whether the video is instructions or not is added complexity where bugs and strange behavior can creep in.

For those not familiar with the author, this is Daniel Lemire, a high performance software expert. He has done lots of work about squeezing as much performance out of a CPU as possible; see his work on SIMD JSON parsing[0]. I imagine he wrote this out of frustration for the software industry's seeming inability to identify who actual experts are in the field. It doesn't take much work to see how much books like Design Patterns and Clean Code have negatively shaped the industry.

Is your entire argument that it's a really big number? Are we afraid of big numbers? How much do you think it should spend? It's the federal government, they do a lot of stuff. Stuff costs money. We can complain about how they spend the money, or that the money is being wasted or stolen, but pointing out that it's a big number isn't a very convincing argument.
I've always felt this was a tad reductive, since there are plenty of people who are both very talkative online/good at marketing themselves that are also experts in their subject areas.

Hence the best explanation would be more like "self promotion/marketing is a skill in of itself, and those that are good at it aren't necessarily good at what they're selling".

So I guess the best strategy is to not take good salesmanship as an indication of anything other than the person knowing how to sell stuff.

Not just ads, the whole model is rotten! It should cause bankruptcy through fines to run a company which harvests your data and piecemeals features at tiered pricing (and worse: subscription) to maximize yield from you like you're a soybean plant in a crop! This is a game of brinksmanship between companies and [apparent] customers these days!

We fix this by mandating all subscription services at least show you the Present Value of a perpetuity at the cashflow of the subscription on checkout (discounted at the highest US bond yield); ideally they must also offer to the customer the option to instead pay that Present Value in lieu of the recurring subscription charge (but also, when the customer quits the company must return the difference of the perpetuity and the annuity representing the whole period in the subscription).
In a sense I am thankful I graduated into the covid lockdowns. It made this dramatic change obvious to me, and I made a similarly dramatic change in my diet. I went from literally having a buffet every meal in college to having a cup of coffee for breakfast, and what I would consider a normal sized meal for dinner. I realized after about 2 years of this that I was borderline under-weight, so I decided to start eating more. It was a struggle to gain weight, but now I am at a much healthier weight.

My extended family does not understand how I have not been gaining weight while I work from home. The truth is I simply do not eat more than I need to.

Most Americans are capital owners. You’re describing a world in which most Americans live in a utopia.
It's up to them what they do with the information. Ideally the doctor would take the opportunity review the patient's chart, but I'm sure there are some clinics that just close the file and call it a day.

The feedback loop tends to be stronger on the inpatient side. In academic settings, it's common for each department to have a "morbidity and mortality" conference once or twice a month. This is a meeting where one or two physicians will present a case that they think went poorly and the rest of the physicians in attendance will give feedback on what could have been done differently.

Yes, those security clearances are the real gates, not anything in your JavaScript codebase, and that's the point - there's already clearance in place within the military, there should be nothing in a codebase that can bypass a security clearance requirement anyway.

A very secure codebase is designed in a way that all the sensitive parts are separated from the parts general users (and developers) have access to - it shouldn't be all imbued together such that sensitive parts about missiles are exposed to login APIs etc. as it seems like you were saying.

It may even be lower risk than not to open-source as the public is more likely to find and fix actual security quirks that a private contractor might miss (or could even be paid as a spy to purposely leave vulnerable).

There's also the community/recruitment aspect. AI/LLM companies are cleverly open-sourcing major parts of their work while keeping the only important part that makes them valuable private - it's a win:win as they keep their secrets yet provide for and stimulate a developer community.

I'm fitter (can run further, lift more, more aesthetic figure) than I was in my late teens / early twenties and it was all down to one decision -

I stopped prioritising maximum income and started prioritising fitness and diet.

Not everyone wants to do that, and with pre existing health and lifestyle choices it can be much more challenging for some than for others.

But it's there as a choice, it's possible, and it's a hell of a lot easier than it seems once you start to see the results.
The thread OP's comment was:

Currently, a major convenience for the malware spreader is being able to put malware on the server and get a usable URL back without submitting the comment. Deactivating links for unsubmitted comments that were canceled is orthogonal to identifying malware, and wouldn't make the comment readers more vulnerable than they already are.

Scepticism of everything is pretty much a given. Science is based on assumptions, most good scientists are well aware of this (the number of assumptions you have to take on faith varies, but most people can agree on somewhere between 3 and 5).

Likewise, our understanding of the world is also founded heavily on assumptions.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. We can't know for sure if something else is conscious. Even scientifically speaking, even once you've accepted some assumptions, we genuinely aren't even close to having the tools necessary to determine if something is conscious or not. It's not even just scepticism at that point, it's fact.

But also, we have the same problem with other large areas of medicine. We can only work on limited information and some assumptions. There's nothing wrong with that, it's better than nothing. Although you are free to decide not to accept any assumptions (unsurprisingly, this would lead to suffering and people generally do like to avoid suffering).

To address your second point, dualism isn't implied and there's whole schools of meditation practice (which can and have successfully been made to be secular without losing anything) which focus on the underlying non-dualism of consciousness.

The issue is that to really understand the non-dualism of consciousness, it requires actually getting to that state. This requires practice and effort. Without that, all you're left with is sometimes mystical sounding statements like: the feeling of having no head.

As a matter of your direct experience, the thoughts in your mind, including the feeling of "I" or of a subject are entirely on the same level as your experience of sounds, sights, smells, touch, etc. They are just apparitions within consciousness. You might not believe me, you might be convinced I'm wrong, but all you need to do to find out for yourself is to truly pay attention to the contents of your mind.
Good idea. Generate 8 tokens with a small model, then give them to a large model as one batch (much faster) and if tokens 1..3 are in agreement but 4..8 nut, take only 1..4 and start again. Most tokens are easy to guess so you'll get x3.5 gains.
