>There is no "nutrition science", just waves of fad after fad. Look up Dr. Ancel Keys, father of "low fat" and how he would simply throw out results of experiments if they did not match his per-conceptions.

Quite familiar with this and totally agree.

I have been kind of working on figuring out the correct diet and why so many others seem to work.

1. Nothing industrial/chemsitry.

2. Nothing with high histamines.

3. Evaluate/eliminate food alergies; most people have this problem but it's quite mild.

4. Keto levels of carbs.
"but penalties stack :)"

Do they, or are they concurrent stemming from the same act in UT?

"not all agricultural recording would fall under trespass"

True. Your example was breaking into a Beyond Meat plant, comparing trespass to interference. In that case, the penalties are similar.
Probably not but we could build it.
It seems kinda reasonable that if you think something is normal, you’ll normally do it.
Oh wow, how to answer succinctly -- it's been a long, meandering path! I'll try my best. While I'd say I first learned about meditation from my music practice as a child, my first formal introduction to meditation was through Thanissaro Bhikkhu [1] who a few of my friends practiced with in college (and later ordained as monks with). I later came to Mahayana Buddhism through Suzuki [2] and Thich Nhat Hanh [3], and then settled into a Vajrayana practice -- I'd suggest Mingyur Rinpoche's Joy of Living course for an intro to Vajrayana [4].

For yoga practice I happened to one day wander into the closest yoga studio to my house here in Brooklyn, which coincidentally happened to be one of the best yoga schools in the city at the time. The owner [5] was exceptionally challenging, all his teachers were the best around, and he really pushed everyone to expand their limits, it was a great environment to learn in. I was going at least 5x per week for a few years. It can be hard to find a yoga school, as most these days are just gym classes, and very few are going to teach pranayama, kriyas, meditation, etc. If I'm in a new place and am looking for a shala to practice in I'll typically choose the place that has Ashtanga/Mysore on the schedule, as it's likely that the owners/teachers aren't just interested in yoga as exercise. I'd really suggest finding a master teacher/s to practice with in real life, there's nothing like it. You'll know it when you find it.

I also read pretty obsessively when I started my yoga practice, some of which I'll leave below [6][7][8][9][10][11]. If you start practicing you'll find the sutras and other texts that speak to you as well, just put in the work and stay curious and open! Happy to answer any questions.

Nah, low debt, lots of cash equivalents on hand, utility scale storage business is a rocket ship. They’re doing bad enough the board should fire Musk, but not bad enough the org will die.

Legislating outcomes would mean having to compel you. If you want to guarantee that you, personally, will be net-zero CO2, then the government will need some way to enforce that guarantee.

I'm not sure that's really what you want. There wouldn't be any room to say, "I wanted to be net-zero, but I couldn't force the local power company to stop using coal". You'd either have to cut your energy use, a lot, or suffer whatever punishment was in the government's purview.

This is a coordination problem. That's precisely the kind of situation that governments are good for.

Congrats on the launch! Awesome to see this release as an early user who was able to check it out. The shared workspaces and shared browser windows with context in place has been incredible for collaborating with folks. We have our Figma design, Notion doc, and Gitlab MR all in the same space so we don't have to go searching for each one independently or have them cross-linked to each other.
Yes, you'll expend resources to protect resources, but that's not the issue.

NIMBY is always an argument about character, not price.

You live where you live -- meaning you can't avoid the influences around you.

So you pick a place with good influences, and protect them.

High density requires defenses against the combinatoric explosion of risk of bad faith actions by others. Defenses are emotionally and financially costly.

Low density - being influenced by people within the Dunbar limit of 150 people you can know - means those defenses can be shared. Every actor is disciplined by the fact that everyone knows what others are doing.

But depending on your needs, there should be enough social variety to be interesting without being threatening. It's unlikely in a monoculture town (of factory farms or government jobs), but possible in a university town, or an area of high economic diversity - Palo Alto or Manhattan.

For those with the courage and the blinders to live in the city, their neighborhood can be a kind of small town. But I suspect this can change with a traumatic experience, or if you are responsible for people who are more attacked/less defended (young, old, female, discriminated...). So people move to the suburbs, or to gated communities or to buildings with a doorman. This is just as true of the ultra-wealthy on Aspen mountain-tops as it is for the homeless who prefer certain doorways.

If home is your castle, your neighborhood is your moat - worth defending.
One of the major benefits of streaming services is that they give you personalized recommendations based on the profile they've built of what you've watched in the past.

Very few people want that feature to go away. It's not a bug, it's a feature. There's far too much content to sift through on your own, without personalized recommendations trying to help.

And if you don't want it used for targeting ads, then pay for the tier without ads.
Meanings of words change over time. Maybe they just gain a new meaning at some point.

A "Steam Deck" matches none of those for example.

This is a very well understood and established term. I fail to see what you made this comment.
Most of the stuff we do that people seem to really like can't be technically or physically done inside of another browser's tab unfortunately. Chrome extensions are too limiting as well. We started off as a chrome extension inside of our previous company, and hit a wall pretty quickly.

For the LLM calls, the one's you currently see are patching calls to a variety of model providers. As long as they hold their end of the TOS you should be fine. Everything else is happening locally.

We will launch a self-host option for Muddy. Cool features like hosting the servers and build process yourself, custom icon and skin on the app, and other internal rules you can set up. Let me know if that's of interest.

> It had not ocurred to me that anyone would /knowingly/ hire a programmer who

They don't. Hiring happens before the first commit. This incredulity about programmers not all being consistently excellent is what makes it sound like your practical experience is very limited.

Point of fact, you're here complaining that a product (ChatGPT 3.5) known to be substantively shitty is substantively shitty, and when people say "you know v4 is very significantly better, right?" you say "but that one isn't free". That gives a strong vibe that you know you're doing something bad and just don't care. Is that the vibe of consistent excellence? I would say no.

> submitted code that fails even to compile

You seem stuck on this business of not compiling when that failure mode is in fact extremely less consequential than literally any other failure mode. Wake me up when humans stop writing code that compiles and runs and tests just fine while doing the wrong thing literally all the time.

Asking how anyone can blindly trust ChatGPT code is a fundamentally broken question. You can't blindly trust human code either. Trust has to be earned by past demonstrations of performance within the specific domain.

A reviewer earns trust by consistently catching other peoples' mistakes. A programmer earns trust by consistently not making obvious mistakes in the first place. When I see a reviewer who consistently fails to catch other peoples' mistakes, I do not trust that reviewer.

Giving a human more inherent trust than you give ChatGPT without experiencing sufficient past performance to have earned it would be your own failure. Humans are very stupid and fuck up constantly.

It has been known for a long time that nicotine, as well as caffeine and other stimulants can delay Alzheimer's. I don't think that Andrew's claim is novel or controversial, but he is making an observation not a recommendation.
I had a chronic stuffed nose into like the 2nd grade. So when I started taking steroids for my nose, I was able to really smell for the first time, and started noticing cooking smells. Overall, kind of meh, missing out on smell is mostly not a big deal. Smell is useful to detect odorants added to dangerous gasses and to know when the cooking is done if your smoke detector is too far from the kitchen, and it can help detect spoiled food (but visual inspection usually works too), but like I don't feel like my life was worse before I could smell, and there definitely wasn't a big step change improvement.

Pretty cool! I guess the Ikea also contributed to the improvement.
I remember a time when software programmers did NOT want to be referred to as "engineers" as that had more of a ops-guy connotation, like someone who sets up servers and runs cable. They wanted to be called "software developers". I even remember when it was fashionable to be called "systems analyst".
Palo Alto is connected to Caltrain, which has a Bart connection up in Millipedis or so (I'm sure I spelt that wrong). It isn't connected enough to justify super high density, but a lot of Stanford students live in or around Palo Alto without cars (bikes are super common).
We have Ubuntu and Fedora users through Wine. Not ideal I know, but enough to try out unless you have a super custom Arch setup
That's a stretch.

Ask HN: Finding Part Time Work as a Senior Engineer
Hi there.

I've been thinking for a while that I don't want to work full time anymore. I like working, but I feel I would be much happier if I worked a lot less. Like, 20 hours a week.

I wouldn't mind earning less than half what I earn now. I already save/invest more than half my income, and while I can't live off my savings they are substantial.

I'm just not sure where to start looking. There doesn't seem to be much of offer for part time software engineering positions, and what I can see it's mostly for junior positions. I might be able to convince my current employer, but it seems unlikely.

I've never done consulting or freelancing. I read that it requires a lot of time and effort to find. It sounds daunting and not very fun, but if that's what I should be looking into I'm willing to consider it.

About me:

I live in Madrid, Spain, and I'm not willing to relocate.

I'm currently a Principal Engineer at a FinTech startup. I have 15 years of Software Engineering experience, and a master's degree in Computer Science. I've worked at FAANG, startups, and midsized companies. I'm a generalist: I have worked on Web Dev, Backend, Mobile, video games, hardware control...
But that can indeed just be done with the standard `asyncio` loop. You run your GUI in a thread, run the `asyncio` event loop in its own thread, pass the `asyncio` loop messages with an `asyncio.Queue` and `asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe`, and then use `asyncio.to_thread` for the serial communication within the `asyncio` event loop.
Well they’re high paying and very comfortable jobs, and the surrounding area is filled with natural beauty. It wouldn’t have the same appeal if you got that pay installing solar panels on roofs in the Central Valley.

Guaranteed value is a licensing payment that compensates the publisher for allowing OpenAI to access its backlog of data, while variable value is contingent on display success, a metric based on the number of users engaging with linked or displayed content.

...

“The PPP program is more about scraping than training,” said one executive. “OpenAI has presumably already ingested and trained on these publishers’ archival data, but it needs access to contemporary content to answer contemporary queries.”

This also makes sense if they're trying to get into the search space.

It seems great to change the REPL to treat it like a statement! This is obviously a better user experience. I also think it's somewhat funny given Python's history on "should common functionality be accessed through statements or functions"[1]!

[1] I hope it's obvious that special-casing exit in the REPL is a much more constrained special case than print being a keyword and the difference in scope makes all the difference in balancing accessibility and consistency.
The source also mentions that a batch of fall college kids also had their offers rescinded. IMO that is the bigger story to the tech community.
I've not had to do this often or in awhile as over the past decade until very recently it's been a tech workers market and I've had more power, but I've spent (sometimes personal) time in past jobs to automate these kinds of things.

What I eventually learned to do in Kafkaesque organizations is do it anyways. If it works, ask for permission to spend time developing it, stressing how much time it'll free up. If it never gets approved or shot down, I use the solution anyways and use the time savings to focus on other things (which can vary on actual work which I present as spending "non-toil" time on, to taking mental health breaks).

At some level it's dishonest, but that's what happens when organizations stifle initiative.
AIUI, the systems are designed to reset to a known good "standby" state if they don't receive any commands after some time. Of course the recovery routine itself can't be guaranteed, especially when the hardware itself is wonky, but suffice to say the updates aren't completely rawdogging it every time.

Getting that chargeback feels soooo good though. I have never wanted to go back to a business I got a successful chargeback from, so it's not a big price in my opinion.

At a certain point, if they muck about with chargebacks too much, they are going to be in trouble with Visa themselves. And I don't think any business fears being on anyone's bad side worse than Visa.

One law we should pass is forbidding C-suites from holding more than one full-time job, unless said job is at some non-profit or just sitting (or chairing) a board.

Yes. Personally I don't care about title, institution or anything. If the claims are not verifiable and reproducible, then I am inclined to take it with a grain of salt.

We can do it in computer science, I'm sure it can be done in other fields of research also.

The thing is, we do need regulation but not the kind that's being proposed, which appears to be more like regulatory capture by OpenAI & friends to enshrine deep learning at scale as something only verified multinationals with NSA backdoors can do and put up even larger barriers for entry for anyone else.

What's needed is practically the exact opposite, a set of rules that prevents work automation to be owned by a select few who will then manipulate the resulting techno-feudalist world with impunity because they need no one else. Things are changing too quickly, the fastest they ever have in the history of man even. Some people are probably preparing to enter a college programme right now to learn something that will be fully automated before they even get their degree.
How is one of those more real? They are both actions that people undertake to accomplish an objective, but there is nothing tangible or factual about either, which appears to be your working definition.

Even if LLMs (pre-trained transformers) turn out to be a dead end as far as AGI goes, there are productivity applications for them, and perhaps just as importantly interesting insights/confirmations about how the mind works and directions for future AGI research/architectures.

The use cases for LLMs will no doubt grow as hallucinations are reduced, and they gain planning/reasoning ability over next couple of years. It'll be interesting to see what they subjectively "feel" like with these improvements.

That is indeed a great twist in the book.

The weird thing was the obsession with robotic animals that's not in the movie at all. I think it was meant to underline the apocalyptic world where living things have mostly disappeared.

The best thing for me about blade runner is the visual style of the movie. It spawned an entire visual genre of cyberpunk and most cyberpunk franchises still lean very heavy on this. The darkness with neon, the 80s vision of the computer, the heavy branding and Eastern influences, the music etc.

It's still my favourite genre for techno party cosplay.
