In my biochemistry class at MIT during undergrad, the professor showed during the section on the krebs cycle that the pop-culture concept of "ketogenic diet" is almost never actually doing what people believe.

To force your body into a purely ketone metabolism, you'd need to restrict not just carbohydrates but also protein. If a person is eating a high-fat, high-protein diet, their body will make glucose/glycogen from that.

Not to say there isn't value in a low-sugar diet. There's a whole cascade of other things happening metabolically in response to blood sugar. Just that the notion of "burning ketones instead of glucose" is a medical myth, like "depression is because you have too little serotonin in your brain".
The publicity might be a short term win but there is a dangerous narrative for Apple that it feeds: that they are no longer a design-obsessed company that prizes art and creativity and channels that obsession to build the best products.
This seems very pessimistic to me. For a linear storyline, highly dynamic NPCs are likely not going to add to the experience, that is correct. There are however other ways of creating interesting narratives.

A good example is dwarf fortress where the narratives are created very dynamically and the player is free to interact with them as they want. LLMs could add immensely to these types of games.

> AI arguably accomplishes this using some form of abstraction though does it not?

It's unabstractable for people, because the most abstract model that works still has far too many variables for our puny brains.

> artists routinely engage in various forms of unusual abstraction

Abstraction in art is just another, unrelated meaning of the word. Like execution of a program vs execution of a person. You could argue executing the journalist for his opinions isn't bad, because execution of mspaint.exe is perfectly fine, but it won't get you far :)

Your version of glibc is too old. Mint 19 is based off Ubuntu 18.04, which ships glibc 2.27, whereas this binary seems to require symbol versions first shipped in glibc 2.34.

You'll have to compile from source, or update your distro to a maintained version. Ubuntu 22.04 ships glibc 2.35, and so Mint 21 should work.

Mostly commenting because while this isn't really a tech support channel, being able to identify glibc version mismatch errors comes up extremely often, even in this day and age.
My organic chemistry professor always liked to point out that while CO2 is a gas that is easily dealt with following metabolism, SiO2 - silica/quartz - is most decidedly not a gas. Add that to the list of challenges for silicon-based lifeforms. Not to say that it isn't possible, but it does constrain the solution space somewhat.
I'm using "words" as an informal summary of the large legal concept of what can be copyrighted, and "facts/concepts/ideas" for what cannot be. So it's not quite a fair use argument (which someone uses the words for certain protected purposes like parody), and I do not think OpenAI is making a fair use argument (although I'd welcome links to the contrary).

In other words, it has nothing to do with your or anyone else's interpretation of what the CC license claims to protect ("an arrangement or transformation"), and only relies on what rights they are legally allowed to assert.

Gutting the functionality that upstream has built into a piece of software and then publishing it under the same name is dubious at best. If they want to go this direction they should publish as a fork under a different name so upstream doesn't get constantly barraged by complaints of users having issues.

This reminds me of the time years ago when the Debian maintainer of Chromium decided to unilaterally disable the ability to install extensions. Thankfully, more pragmatic minded people prevailed and the patch was reverted.

This also reminds me of a time many many many years ago when Debian removed the kernel interface that provided the ability to load binary firmware into network cards and broke networking for me.

Why the scare quotes around social scientists?
While this thread is by no means as formal of an event. Picture yourself at someones memorial service, before/during/after the service you bring up a topic that is orthogonal to the person's life and frames it about yourself instead of the person being memorialized. Its just a bit weird.
A somewhat cynical take is that "smart people" is doing a lot of work here. If you get to restrict your hiring to people who have proven themselves to be world-class in something, they are probably much more likely to respond to freedom by pursuing something than by coasting (or worse).
This is great! I'm so glad someone took the effort to do this. I discovered Logicola as part of ordering and reading his Formal Ethics text book. His books had a way of making modal logic feel accessible enough for me to learn. I also quite enjoyed Formal Ethics, which was a book devoted to deriving the Golden Rule from first principles, a set of four non-controversial axioms. I had fun working through it and creating my own cheat sheet LaTeX document showing the complete derivation, including the final representation of the "strict" version of the Golden Rule in modal logic notation. I actually put that on our wedding poster when my wife and I got married, and sent a photo of it to Gensler. He got a kick out of that.

I remember also asking him if it could be derived with constructive logic rather than by contradiction. He didn't have a fitch proof of that sort but thought it should be possible.
Nothing is deleted. Just the default options are now used, as intended and announced upstream.

Had this exact same idea but I wonder how does it handle deletes.

Is it actually going to release deleted unused space or would be a manual defragmentation after some deletes.
There's one way in which browser integration improves security vs not using it, which is that the browser extension checks the page URL before filling in the credentials, while the approach of manually copy-pasting credentials is vulnerable to typo- and homoglyph-phishing.
Deleting your past speech is not a basic human right, for good reasons:

Imagine e.g. the effect on democracy of politicians being able to have all of their past utterances deleted from the public record because they don't feel like it represents their current branding anymore.

For private individuals not "of public interest", the situation is a bit different, but e.g. the EU's "right to be forgotten" is arguably not a basic human right, but a relatively new and narrow concept for which there isn't any type of international consensus yet.

pop() or read() in a loop, yes. can read 1 message or many messages at a time.

what we do at Tembo in our infrastructure is pause for up to a few seconds if a read() returns no messages. when there are messages, then we read() with no pause in between. when the queues are empty it amounts to less than one query per second. there is not much cost to reading frequently if you use a client side connection pool, or a server side pool like pgbouncer.
Eggs are a great example of this - they can be good to eat several weeks after their date when refrigerated. Especially if you do stuff like flip them every now and then. All you have to do is put them in a pot of water, and if it doesn't float, you're fine.
I find this to be in poor taste too, and I used to go to a lot of punk shows.

As far as I can tell this law isn’t limited to restaurants. It will be interesting to see if big hotel chains will have websites that operate differently in CA and elsewhere (like with CA privacy options). Hopefully this will benefit customers outside of CA as well.
> philosophy is quite relevant

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about that.

> you implicitly claim materialism

Nope. In fact, I actually do claim all of these things while at the same time denying materialism because quantum mechanics. Molecules don't really exist, just like the force of gravity doesn't really exist. Both are just very good approximations.

> For anyone who claims that mind-state is the cause

The cause of what?

You don't have to get into consciousness at all. Food and water, for example, are clearly integral to human flourishing, and you don't have to get into any metaphysical woo to defend that position.

> That’s where it stops being a scientific experiment

That's just nonsense. Malnutrition and dying of thirst obviously yield to straightforward scientific inquiry.

Like I said, if you want to argue otherwise, the burden is on you to demonstrate some aspect of human flourishing that does not yield to scientific inquiry. I'll bet you can't do it.
Looks awesome, thanks for sharing. I definitely am also fighting with this. Common complaints "where is the video?" "where is the HAR file" etc. Their repro steps are usually bad.

So automatic repro steps sound great.

Looking at the homepage on that though it seems way too detailed and will fall prey to how I see our support and PM staff reporting bugs via videos they record today already: too many clicks and steps that are not necessary and when I try the exact same thing it works correctly.

The hard part of proper steps to reproduce is to reproduce it with a minimal set of steps that are also actually reproducible "from zero".

(of course there are some bugs that are very specific to some specific customers data you won't be able to repro but they are in the minority at least for us)

How do you solve that part?
But it had a rear window and a rear view mirror.
SpaceX provides internet access. Millions of customers pay for it. The revenue from the customers is more than enough to cover the business costs. The negative externalities are much smaller than say... aircraft or cargo shipping. If a sustainable business like that isn't enough to justify usefulness, then what is?
FWIW, I'm talking about the pattern matching syntax required to enforce coverage of all the sum types. Obviously the idea of the representation as a set of alternatives is easy enough to understand. The idea of "Now You Have To Show The Compiler You Know What To Do In All Circumstances" is very much not, c.f. how much basically everyone struggles with Option() in Rust.

Inheritance addresses similar issues by delegating the responsibility, something that is easy to understand. Does it have downsides? Sure. But I'm not sold that ADT has the advantage here at all.
POSIX time_t still ticked, but the interval between the ticks was 0s, rather than 1s or 2s.

It preserves A (exactly 86400 ticks per calendar day) and C (remains in alignment with UTC) by abandoning B (each tick has a fixed duration)
Perhaps it would have been palatable if the items had been compressed in a way that didn't seem destructive.

There may be a collective resistance to playful depictions of destruction, possibly as an energetic response to the pervasive images of destruction from conflicts in Ukraine, Israel, and Gaza. This may not be the appropriate time for such depictions.

> We could've had all of that without the C02 we've emitted, please don't talk silly talk.

Wait, what? How could we have possible done all this without fossil fuels? Our modern life takes immense amounts of energy and fossil fuels are basically free energy we can suck out of the ground.

And I'm the first one here to critique the profit motive, but fossil fuels are profitable because they are a really easy to use, dense, transportable energy source.
It's fine if they don't want to support them going forward. The question is whether users have any reason to claim that they have been harmed, and I'm arguing that they don't.

Think cell is the company the creator of lexy works at
Kind of repeating myself from another comment, but the person making this comment is basically standing atop one of the most singular vantage points in all of human history. To say this advice is non-generalizable is an understatement, IM personal O. Setting aside that this was the entry point of the ZIRP years (unique even among US history), the United States from 1920-2020 was basically unprecedented in terms of global hegemony, access to material resources, and scientific knowledge. Even a cursory examination of the global situation indicates that these factors are not going to hold forever, probably not even for the next 50 years. I think a prudent person has to ask themselves "do I really want to turn off the news and focus my entire being on creating a startup? Or do I want to have some Plans B-Z in case the Roman Empire falls?" It's true you can't fix everything yourself, and many people waste their lives trying, but tbh that seems less foolish than taking serious advice from an '08 UC Berkley graduation speech.
They are also the last refuge of people who wrote civilians and got asked about terrorists as if they were the same thing. Well, for you in any case the same - only a dead Palestinian is a good dehumanized Palestinian, they are all the same.
> LLMs aren't racist: sometimes they might emit predictive text, which can be interpreted as racist.

I think this take is overly simplistic. LLMs can only learn from the data that we give them - if we feed in Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion then its output is going to be racist and anti-semetic. This is to say that the biases of the data we feed in to the system have some effect - large or small - on the output. LLMs only show us a reflection of ourselves, and if we're not careful with the training data we are more likely to propagate racist output as a result of what biases affect the input.

Whether or not the LLM went through what we consider the human process of thinking to generate racist outputs or if it's only predictive as a result of the input is sort of moot when the reader doesn't know if a person or LLM produced the output, and the impact on marginalized communities of propagating racist attitudes of stereotypes will be the same regardless of what the LLM "intended" or was designed to do.
MoarTube: Self-hosting videos and streams should be easy. Now it is
This is a little something that I've been working on in my spare time. At this point, I believe it's ready to start rolling out to a wider audience. Posting this to Hacker News is a big step for me (and MoarTube), so let's get right to it.

Last year, I decided to explore the idea of creating a self-hosted video/streaming solution. Wowza, PeerTube, and others that came up in my research. To compete with these existing solutions, MoarTube had to meet the following criteria:

1) easy to set up

2) no excessive amount of dependencies

3) low resource usage; can run on just about anything

4) compatible with all major operating systems

5) can run at home or in the cloud

6) open source and free to use

7) a familiar UI/UX experience

I have succeeded in not only creating such a solution, but an entire platform built around it.

MoarTube is a decentralized video/streaming platform where users provision and manage the entire thing. The software is a hybrid design in that the data processing is performed on the user's local machine via the MoarTube Client while data distribution to viewers is performed by the MoarTube Node. Nodes are managed by the client and you can provision as many nodes as you want.

If you want to know more, there's an overview video (among other videos) on the main site.

My apologies if the comment came across as negative. I just meant to say that I didn't want to exchange one set of shell quirks for another. But using {$x}-style grouping is a fine solution too. And in any case I'm sure that bash has a lot more quirks than Elvish :-)

So I'll definitely do more testing with Elvish and see what the overall experience is like. Coming from Solaris, we still have a ton of ksh scripts in our shop (with people working on them who have very different backgrounds and scripting skill levels). Something with less pitfalls than bash would be great... Thanks for putting in your time and effort!

First of all they have to be designed and voted in.

If WG21 is actually open to having them, ISO C++29 is probably when they might land, then given the compiler velocity with previous standards, expect at least 5 years to mature, on the top three, let alone everyone else.

If I am not dead by then, I will certainly be retired.

There is no such thing as bad publicity when you are not yet established. When you are already a recognized and popular brand, such as Apple or AB InBev, it can hurt revenue, such as how AB InBev suffered from lower revenue following their own advertisement backlash.

The press itself is ridiculous, you can't have two skinny cylinders like that pressing out a platen that wide and expect to get any reasonable forces. Maybe it's too much time watching the limitations of the 150 ton press, but it all just seemed like someone's idea of what a press is, instead of an actual press... in hyper-real cgi.
It does in native Ayapaneco
Agree. I've always thought that PostgREST is an interesting project for some niche use-cases and teams. However, his argument about replacing GET request handling with a new tool that lives outside of/alongside your existing application architecture is not a particularly compelling argument. With properly-factored application code adding a GET (list) or GET-by-id is fairly trivial.

The only complexity I've ever run into there is implementing a pagination scheme that is not the typical "OOTB framework" limit/offset mechanism. I still don't think this makes the argument much stronger.
Smooth roads really help with this, but no one seems to care
It's possible to build a life that attempts to solve the world's problems. Then you have personal accomplishments and meaningful social contribution. But your comment reads like "who cares about the planet we live on, just do whatever you want" which isn't really great advice or a particularly sustainable mindset. I'm getting strong Ayn Rand vibes.
