>And when you get down to it, the palatable portion of the issue becomes the biggest problem.

I find palatability an odd thing in the sense that there's the phenomenon of acquired taste. In my experience acquired taste applies the most towards bitter foods and drinks.

I hated the zero-sugar low-fat yoghurt at first. It tasted horrible. The more I got into it however, the more I liked it's rather unique refreshing taste. It freshens the palate unlike any other food and as such I got used to the bitter taste and started to like it instead.

Same thing with beer, it seems everyone hates beer when they taste it the first time. The more you get used to it however, the more you find the taste refreshing I feel. Nothing more refreshing than a cold beer on a hot summer day.

>We suck all the fiber out of foods and feed it back to animals

Fiber for me is somewhat similar. I really love fibrous, almost rock hard, full-grain rye bread. My jaw will get sore from eating that, but there's something to it to really have to chew it down. However I used to hate it and love soft bread in the past: the texture and it's chewiness is akin to an acquired taste.
I wonder if someone can use zero-day options to profit off this. With so little time value left, even a small move in the last 10 minutes can entail big profit.
I'm convinced fake fats were absolutely terrible for us. Kind of feels like the rest is falling to scape goat territory. Probably not good, as it were. But not as terrible as fake fats.

I also think steering people away from salt is probably misguided. So, take my view with appropriate salt. :)

150K GPU with two people... presumably, 8 GPU/host, you had close to 20K servers.

I can't really see how that's achievable with only two people, given the time to install hardware, maintain it, deal with outages and planned maintainence and testing, etc. Note: I worked at Google and interfaced with hwops so I have some real-world experience to compare to.

Building a 150K GPU system without a well-understood customer base seems a bit crazy to me. You will either become a hyperscale, serve a niche, or go out of business, I fear.

I mean, they typically have their skin removed then are soaked in some kind of saline bath. At least half if not more of the fiber in a potato is remove when you skin it. Then oil based frying adds a massive amount of calories.

If you need calories to survive potatoes are a good option, once you've met those minimum requirements they are a pretty terrible food in the sense it's really easy to over consume them.

This seems like something LLMs would be good at. A mundane use of them, but I bet they'd be really good at determining that the input has the wrong encoding.

I'm unclear where the extra energy comes from.

When the atom ejects an electron, the hole left behind gets filled by an electron from a neighboring atom. Then the same thing happens to the neighbor -- and so on. This is electrical current flowing. Eventually the loop closes and some hole somewhere in the universe gets filled by the original ejected electron.

The hole in one atom can get filled by an electron from a higher orbital in a neighboring atom. In that case the energy gained will be greater than the energy lost by the original electron ejection. This is the situation where you get a photon (x-ray) with a higher energy (= shorter wavelength) than the original incident photon (ultraviolet).

Of course there's no free lunch. The way this happens is that N thorium atoms eject electrons from some orbital with energy X, the electrons shuffle around, and those N holes get filled by donors from orbitals whose total energy is N*X even though some of the donors are at higher levels and some are at lower levels.

If one could make the UV source highly efficient perhaps it could be used as a battery with extremely good energy density.

Yeah I've been thinking that if we had really tiny VLSI-integrated UV lasers (which we absolutely don't, not even close) that a bunch of these 229Th atoms embedded in a silicon chip would be a device with totally fascinating properties.

We can build waveguides in silicon wafer processes pretty easily but I'm not sure we can do that at UV wavelengths. You could imagine a single, big, off-chip laser whose beam can be steered by waveguides to illuminate any of a few billion 229Th deposits. These could act like the configuration memory bits of an FPGA. They would be "almost nonvolatile" -- you'd have to refresh them every hour or so, instead of several thousand times per second (dram) or never (sram). At such a low refresh rate the steering doesn't need to be particularly fast, and having to share one laser across all the deposits would not be a problem.

Unfortunately 229Th is mildly radioactive, but so are household smoke detectors so hopefully people wouldn't freak out about this.

The term "Ultra Processed Food" is basically undefinable in any sort of sensible way, and because of that appears to just be used by the layman synonymously with "unhealthy food".

Yes, but even among those there is some deception.

Take Yoplait, it is made with pasteurized milk, so it doesn’t have the naturally occurring cultures. Like the added sugar they just add cultures/probiotics in, what’s important in this is that there are 1000s of species of probiotics and “added probiotics” is not the same as naturally occurring probiotics, which are generally limited to just a few species. In other words it’s a marketing stunt to market “probiotics” as if it were natural, but to reuse the word it is a bastardization of naturally occurring cultures.

> Powershell's syntax is so fucking weird and verbose.

You're not wrong. I think it's that way because of trying to increase readability. Best practice for Powershell cmdlet development is verb-noun.

Of course they throw that out the window with aliases.

Examples:

wget and curl both are aliases for invoke-webrequest

iex is an alias for "invoke-expression" - which lets you execute a string as powershell code in your same session (note: I originally wrote scriptblock, which was incorrect - otherwise something I wrote this week wouldn't work at all, due to change of scope). This ability gets me out of a lot of weird jams.

The other thing too which makes it so weird is that it is built on top of .Net. The overarching principle of Powershell is that it's your Windows swiss army knife. You can access .Net classes by loading the assemblies. I have on occasion built a small WinForms app in powershell. You can create and invoke COM objects (new-object cmdlet).

> But as a polyglot I am so sick of having to learn yet another syntax.

Personally, I try to avoid "language specific sugar" when I am writing sample scripts for people (I am in a customer facing role). But goddamn I love the shorthand way you can do a for loop in Powershell using the range operator:

1..100 | % {Write-Host $_}

> cmd.exe does everything I need to and batch is actually kind of flexible.

OK, so you haven't really gotten to know Powershell very well if you're saying things like this. lol

Scripting in batch files is like living in the dark ages. They are "kind of flexible" whereas Powershell is "very flexible, most of the time".

And that "most of the time" caveat is no longer there if you are on the latest powershell (which doesn't work with the ISE as ISE is 5.x only, and the way of the future is the universal PWSH). My biggest gripe was fixed I think in Powershell 7, which was manipulating files with grave marks in the name.

I build a lot of stuff in Powershell, as you can probably tell. Given all the interop stuff it has, once you know how to use it all, the point where it makes sense to build it in C# is farther down the line than you might think.
I never noticed that Medium blocks pinch-to-zoom on mobile! (At least, in Firefox for Android.) That's a really obnoxious design choice in itself, and it's particularly bad when there are desktop screenshots in an article like the one here.
Other posters have pointed out that this is incorrect, but I wanted to give a bit of intuition as to how signals can be received when they are below the noise floor.

First, as a definition, below the noise floor means that the power of my signal at any given time is smaller than the power of the ambient noise in my channel, and usually this implies that you're only interested in a particular segment of frequency spectrum (e.g. within the 10MHz band centered at 1.8GHz). If we were doing a simple frequency-shift keying or amplitude-modulated signal, once the noise power exceeds the signal power, there is basically no hope of recovering anything useful, as those are both demodulation schemes that rely upon obtaining instantaneous estimates of the frequency or amplitude of the signal of interest.

However, spread-spectrum methods make a time/frequency tradeoff, where the signal of interest is "spread" across multiple points in time and frequency. A very simple example of this is to say "if I want to transmit a 1, instead of transmitting one cycle of a sinusoid at 18.GHz, I will transmit 10 cycles". Then, at the decoder stage, you average across 10 cycles of your carrier in order to detect whether a signal was sent or not. By doing this averaging across time, you get a 10x gain versus the noise which is expected to cancel itself out as often as not.

True spread-spectrum techniques are more advanced than this, they actually use wave shapes that are more complicated than just a sinusoid to make it easier to detect when they start and stop (whereas with a sinusoid there's a fair amount of ambiguity if you shift one period to the left or right) but the fundamental idea of averaging across time is the same.

Through this mechanism we are able to rescue out signals from far below the noise floor, although it reduces your maximum transmission rate. When dealing with digital radio systems we can even rescue out signals from below our quantization floor, although not too much lower, as eventually you lose the ability to average out a signal that is fluctuating by significantly less than a single bit.

Whenever I talk about making tradeoffs in transmission speed to aid in reception, I am reminded of the ELF systems in submarines [0]. While they did not use spread-spectrum techniques, (they just jumped between two frequencies, 76Hz and 80Hz) they still correlated across time to boost up their effective SNR.

The important note is:

1. Longer leads of older packaging have higher parasitic inductance, parasitic capacitance, and parasitic resistance. Which hurts many electronic designs.

2. The thermal pad on DFN / QFNs allows for direct-heat transfer off of the chip-package (while DIP, SOIC, and other older designs do NOT allow for this direct-heat transfer off). This improves thermals of hot parts, as you can use the whole PCB as a heatsink now, instead of having to add a heatsink elsewhere.

3. DFN and QFN are physically much smaller than traditional DIP, SOIC or TQFP packages. So people who use these smaller chip packages can make even smaller circuit boards, or alternatively, a more complex design fit in smaller spaces.

-------

QFN and DFN are very popular parts for modern professional level electronics. But do note that their small size and tiny leads make them harder to deal with at the hobbyist level. But its possible with enough flux, solder paste, and hot-air rework to work with these parts.

I would recommend that beginner electronics who are just getting into custom PCB design work with larger parts (like SOIC packages) instead. Bigger is often easier. Move to these tiny DFN or QFN parts only after you've gained confidence in your surface-mount skills.
This has nothing to do with compression. If you use "yes" and "no" instead of "oui" and "non" (which just happen to be three characters each) and you compress "yes" to "T" and "no" to "F" then the uncompressed text will be the leaky one.
