Reply to self: the MVP for this probably is to walk around with a backpack that’s 10% of your body weight.

That’s a lot cheaper and for many sports likely would bring the same benefits.
Which were marketed as safe and effective and are now shown to be much less safe than disclosed and the manufacturers knew it (myocarditis and now a possible link to specific cancers[0]), and may or may not be effective depending on which study, cohort, and other factors.

Interesting anecdote that I am not entirely sure is true, is that “classical music” genre got its name because music was the only art that we didn’t know how it was in Ancient Greece and Rome, where the term “classic” is usually applied to.

So, by the time people were rediscovering the music of Bach and that type of music was growing in popularity, people decided to use “classical” for that sort of music.
Does anyone find value in SMART metrics?

In my experience, the drives report "healthy" until they fail, then they report "failed"

I've personally never tracked the detailed metrics to see if anything is predictive of impending failure, but I've never seen the overall status be anything but "healthy" unless the drive had already failed.
I dont know why but this story always makes me laugh. It is genuinely well written and mixes casual insanity with humour so well that I cannot help but laugh at it every time. Hope y'all enjoy it too!

These private equity deals are the convergence of a couple of phenomena.

The most obvious is low interest rates, which is fortunately dying off. The ability to borrow lots of money is something that smaller, well-run companies, are reluctant to do. Why bring in a bunch of cash to expand and take on debt when you are operating at a reasonable profit?

The secondary is the undervaluing of customer goodwill -- what PE firms can do is directly monetize that goodwill by squeezing those customers. The income stream from a reliable customer can be translated into present value, and prices and quality can be adjusted to the point where you can drive a customer's goodwill down to zero while extracting something that approximates the present value of the lifetime income stream from that customer.

Inflation plays a role -- businesses are reluctant to raise prices because they don't want to sacrifice goodwill, but the supply chain costs keep going up. They have to somehow maintain margins, but they do so by raising prices slowly. PE has no such scruples.

"Gives the primary business (making food profitably) a huge cash infusion, and removes a distraction"

This is so suspiciously MBA-esque:
- Owning real estate (and responsibilities associated with it) are not distractions: they are the cost (and responsibilities) associated with running a business.
- "a huge cash infusion" followed by [correspondingly] huge rent payments; the business becomes a prisoner.

There certainly are distractions when running a business, but owning the spot of land where it's installed is not one of them.
Same here. I also took the course from Coursera a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. The conclusion? It’s hard to get it right so don’t do crypto yourself! Quite cynical, but it kinda killed my interest in pursuing it further.

The article puts several arguments forth, but it misses what Rust's tagline is: "Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software. ". Yes, the C++ talent pool is currently bigger than the Rust talent pool, but the latter is rapidly growing, because it is a friendlier language. Yes, a newcomer to programming won't know enough low level details to create the most efficient software, but that applies equally to C++ and Rust. But a Rust novice has a much better chance of writing a performant piece of software that doesn't blow up in production than a C++ novice.

> This causes them to write off C++ which I think is a huge mistake because it’s actually one of the best languages for new developers to learn.

I might be missing something, but I don't see any argument in the article that supports this claim. It only mentions that C++ is well-paid.

My problem is that you're all implying an unprecedented criminal conspiracy and cover up with absolutely no evidence. My problem is mainly the no evidence part and that's not why I come here- I come here for evidence/fact-based discussion. Not conspiracy nonsense. With this amount of evidence we could claim anything and everything!
Thanks, I didn't realize this.
If you still have the original photos, maybe you can write a script to run both the originals and exports against a perceptual hash (so as to easily identify the correct original) and then just update the JPEG EXIF data of the exports?

https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/imagehash

Depending on specific formats, you should be able to read and edit metadata without having to reprocess the images. If the exports are named similarly to the originals, you don't even need to hash them.

While I enjoyed it, perhaps use this as a device... imagine you'd never heard Bach, or Led Zeppelin, or whatever the kids are listening to these days. Imagine days ruled by the weather and timed by the sun. Where you aren't quite sure how we all got here but you certainly aren't going to do anything to anger the gods. Now imagine that music in context.
I, too, love Backblaze's reports. But they provide no information regarding drive endurance. While I became aware of this with SSDs, HDD manufacturers are reporting this too, usually as a warranty item, and with surprisingly lower numbers than I would have expected.

For example, in the Pro-sumer space, both WD's Red Pro and Gold HDDs report[1] their endurance limit as 550TB/year total bytes "transferred* to or from the drive hard drive", regardless of drive size.

A loop over 2^64 elements is also O(1), but I don't think people are ok to label every program that can run on a 64 bit pc as O(1).

The Amazon refurb drives (in this class) typically come with 40k-43k hours of data center use. Generally they're well used for 4½-5yrs. Price is ~30% of new.

I think refurb DC drives have their place (replaceable data). I've bought them - but I followed other buyers' steps to maximize my odds.

I chose my model (of HGST) carefully, put it thru an intensive 24h test and check smart stats afterward.

As far as the 5yr warranty goes, it's from the seller and they don't all stick around for 5 years. But they are around for a while -> heavy test that drive after purchase.

Yeah, means I don't need to worry about null unless I explicitly allow null.
Just released foldMation[0] earlier this year. It's both a virtual step-by-step origami creation and learning app.

- Inspiration - There should be a way to digitally fold origamis online. There really isn't one that works well so maybe I can?

- Challenges - Many. Understanding the math, working with 3.js, how to find points, edges and faces to cut so the user doesn't have to specify them, coming up with logic to deal with layering... The list goes on, almost endless. It's the hardest project I've tackled and one I underestimated the most.

- Motivation - Honestly, sunk cost fallacy. Always wrongly believing how close I am to where it needs to be. There's still many bugs, but at least there is no rush as they aren't showstoppers anymore.

Follow the tutorials in /create if want to know it more and /blog if want to read more on it.

McDonalds is constantly mocked for low quality food. Olive Garden is much higher prices, but not much better in quality.

Note, but quality what we really mean is either health or taste. Both McDonalds and Olive Garden are extremely high quality in that everything is exactly the same and so you can go into any one around the country (and most of the world) and order something and be unable to tell the difference from any other.
And we're asking you for the list of those incidents.

Yes and? Does that mean it can never be tried again?

If car makers gave up with EVs 30 years ago, and never tried improving, where would we be today? Because EVs are not the ICE replacement today, does that mean it won't be in 30 years' time?

Yeah fair, I definitely have developed pretty strong opinions on the "right" way to do things in functional languages, and those opinions likely do differ somewhat from theirs, at least in some cases.

I think if I want to work at Jane Street now, I either need to finish my PhD, or get a Masters degree from a sexy school to "cleanse" my WGU degree (despite the fact that I don't think I know much less than the average Ivy League graduate, though obviously I'm a biased audience).

Lucky! Our ancient Maltese has a heart murmur and was referred to, I kid you not, a canine cardiologist. The estimate started at $10K and went up from there.

The affected teeth got loose. We pulled them. The dog is happy and healthy. I would have liked for a professional to have done that for us in a more controlled and methodical manner, but there's no way I could justify spending at least ten thousand freaking dollars on a 13 year old dog who was at significant risk of dying on the table.

> Most of my peers didn't understand the "fundamentals". They didn't know a map was implemented as a binary tree, for example.

I mean, I don't use c++ much, but... the "fundamentals" are that an unordered map is probably implemented as a hash table, and an ordered map could be implemented on a trie, a vector, a linked list, some other thing I can't think of right now, or... some variety of a binary tree. Right? I don't think I would want to assume.
Sounds interesting! Do you already have a website for this project?
Also known as the Lindy Effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
I've tried using the chronological sort many times over the last 5-10 years and found it to be clearly broken almost every single time. It shows me a few things from several days ago and then says there are no more posts. When I switch back to the regular algorithm, it shows me all sorts of posts from today.

I wish I could do chron sort and specify which friends I want to (1) see only their posts, (2) see their posts and their comments, and (3) see their posts, comments, and likes.
The EU is willing to force every user to go through an annoying browser ballot upon buying a new phone or computer, but can’t force the browser to include a DNT prompt up front if it’s that much of an issue?

Plus it’s not as if these companies weren’t willing to assume consent in the absence of the DNT flag. It sounds like a bit of BS to suddenly worry about what consent really means when it goes against their bottom line. I don’t see many hands being wrung about whether the user is meaningfully consenting when they click the easiest and most visible button to dismiss a banner that obscures a quarter of their screen.

That sounds like a "we're not in the teeth cleaning business; go away!" price.

I love my dog and spend pretty freely on him, but no way is he getting an $800 teeth cleaning. At that point, you might as well locate your practice on the airport and cater only to people who fly their dog in on a private jet.

Talc is a rock. Rocks co-mingle with many minerals. As a rockhound, this is super evident. Tiger's eye is basically sealed in Asbestos. If you cut it with a tile saw you'll get very unhealthy tiny knives in your cells.

I agree with this. C++ has become an unwieldy monster of a language by trying to be all things to all people. I've been programming in C++ from before C++ compilers even existed, and it has been my favorite language since then. Up until a number of years ago, anyway, when its bloat and layers of hackiness started becoming a legitimate problem.
Damn, what a crazy coincidence.
It's also a ridiculously hard task.

When someone signs up you automatically make it public they are using it? And what they are doing??

On the surface this is awful. What about respect for people's privacy? Please tell me I'm missing something.

Nitpick: You'll have to tip the same amount as another restaurant with bad service. If it's awful enough, that works out to about a 20% discount on the meal.
Well this is utterly wonderful.
Apollo was designed when safety requirements were much more lax than they are now. Plus, Orion is much heavier.
It's very hard to determine if they succeeded because of or despite of in any quantified way. WhatsApp, Viaweb, Jane Street, NoRedInk are examples of where they succeeded with a smaller language and none of them afaik blamed the language but praised it.

However, I think if you are a company doing something boring and that can only pay average, then having an interesting tech stack (including a nice language), hiring globally and having good benefits might give you a venue to compete for talent. You'll need some kind of strategy.

The limits of the Model T were both: "well defined" and "deterministic". LLMs are neither.
Your sentence needs a lot of qualifiers. i.e. Older Japanese are incredibly racist to Koreans and Chinese, and also mildly xenophobic. Even then, the racism and xenophobia get played up a lot in western media (or at least anime fandom). It'd be like insisting every American is like Old Man Jonathan Joestar swinging his arm in the airport about how he hates Japanese people so much[0]. Were there a lot of Americans who hated the Japanese exactly in that way? Yes. Is that an accurate depiction of Americans? Not really.

Japanese criminal judges have a high conviction rate because of two reasons:

- Japanese prosecutors are extremely selective about what charges they bring forward and often drop cases for lack of evidence.

- Falsely accused Japanese will often confess to a crime they didn't commit due to social pressure.

To be clear, the latter is an active social problem. But it's not the one most westerners think of when they think of the Japanese criminal justice system.

I can't speak to the Black experience in Japan, so I'll keep my mouth shut about that.

I like these pieces of my digital footprint to not be connected. There is no need to track everything.
Much of what I did in my work was to reduce or constrain the search space.

1. Don't evolve constants or coefficients, use regression to find

2. Leverage associativity and commutativity, simplify with SymPy, sort operands to add/mul

So much effort in GP for SR is spent evaluating models which are effectively the same, even though their "DNA" is different. Computational effort, and algorithmic effort (to deal with loss of population diversity, i.e. premature convergence)

I've seen a few papers since pick up on the idea of local search operators, the simplification, and regression, trying to maintain the evolution aspect. Every algo ends up in local optima and works of effectively the same form by adding useless "DNA". I could see the PGE algo doing this too, going down a branch of the search space that did not add meaningful improvement. With the recent (~5y) advancements in AI, there are some interesting things to try
Even without private equity's meddling, Red Lobster would have been in a rough spot. Family dining as a segment (lower end restaurants, but with table service) is being squeezed aggressively. Compared to Gen X and before, Millennials on average are valuing food quality over service experience, ballooning the fast casual (order at the counter, but nicer than fast food) segment. This is squeezing family dining from below, meanwhile their branding as ubiquitous and affordable prevents them from raising prices too much without bumping up against the fine dining segment (and who wants to bring a date to Olive Garden?).
