We're far, far beyond the point where we have to question or wonder if wearing an air filter in an infectious disease ward will decrease your chances of catching the disease. Maybe you personally really don't know, but maybe you're being willfully ignorant, I don't know you.

If you refused to wear the mask, the very serious and educated people at the door of the ebola ward would likely refuse you entry to the ebola ward, which is probably all for the better anyway.
Fediverse is now integrated with Threads, and Threads is bigger than Twitter. With any luck, Fediverse becomes the open source, Threads kills X, and news media continues to die the same slow death it would have anyway.

I didn’t consider that it was a low number, just posted because I remembered it. But I’m also now realizing that wasn’t actually my ID, it was the middle six numbers of a UPC on a 1 1/4 oz 25 cent bag of Doritos in the early 90’s. Oops.

Be that as it may, in my experience many of the most interesting and rewarding courses and subjects turned out to be the ones outside of my field of work. This is unsurprising since I now spend all day concentrating on my field of work.

Then again, I might have had more time to read the classics – and more inclination to do so – had I not been stuck in school (or working full time.) More time to pursue a wider variety of practical, intellectual, creative, recreational, and social activities. Or more time to waste (?) playing games, watching videos, and posting comments on the internet.
I really thought this was going to be a new LLM-backed GOOG-411 type thing.
I am building a advanced file manager for Windows as a side project. Its a file manager in the style of Orthodox File Managers (Total commander, Directory Opus etc) The file manager is natively powered by the Everything indexer by Voidtools and as a result of that it is possible to create virtual folders of querys (smart folders) and instant folder sizes. I have also added support for tags and custom description of file items.

I have ADHD and perhaps undiagnosed autism. It’s severely affected my ability to build software, but lends itself well to supporting other teams in larger companies. I usually lose interest in my work within a few years. This leads to a lot of procrastination and a backlog of work that I just cannot force myself to do.

I am prescribed Vyvanse. It helps but regularly gives me heart palpitations and insomnia. I can’t drink coffee while using it. This causes me to only use it when I’m fairly behind in work.

I can’t really say I overcame ADHD, but I’ve managed to hold a few jobs long enough to reach financial stability.
Being unable to learn is a matter of either unwillingness or disability.

Nowadays it's easier to learn than ever, and the real rates of intellectual disabilities/neurodiversity hadn't gone up that much. Such conditions are just easier to diagnose nowadays.

Thus yes, if you won't learn, and you can't prove that it's an organic problem, enjoy a job that sucks.

Blaming capitalism for that is meaningless.

Masks do work reliably, and there is plenty of evidence behind that. Maybe you only trust biased sources that say otherwise, I don't know, but your comment is pretty much calling N95 masks snake oil, and that's nonsense.

These PMs are not the ones job hopping every year.

And 95% of interview candidates are not PMs.

> So the only scam is scamming yourself into a low salary position for a couple years till they fire you.

200k-300k USD salary is not low.

And 1 year garden leave / non compete? That’s literally 0.5M over 2 years for doing jack shit.

This is very appealing for tech SWEs or MBA product managers who are all talk and no walk.

But even with profit share / pnl cut, many firms pay you a salary, even before you turn a profit. It eventually gets deducted when you turn a profit.

When the moon is full it is opposite the sun and reduces the effect of the sun’s gravity. When it is new it is in the same direction as the sun and increases the pull toward the sun.
There is type of thoughts or knowledge that can damage you forever. For example, if a boy or girl are put on a path to question their gender and get convinced that their gender is different from their biology, this increases a chance of depression or suicide by an order of magnitude. And if they turn to medication or other treatments to alter the biology, this increases chances of depression or suicide even more.

The Hackaday article is referring to Geoscience Australia geophysical surveys, Helicoptor VTEM specifically.

Fixed wing surveys are also a thing and more common over ground that is relatively flat, choppers get used for ground hugging steep ground - the cost per line kilometre goes up by a factor.

All the GA data (radiometrics, EM, magnetics, gravity, DTM's, etc) is available online or by request.

Probably the same cause of tide supercycles - when moon and sun line up, the pull is additive. When they oppose, the moon detracts from the sun’s pull by a bit.

Writing that out I’m not sure it makes sense, but someone smarter will be along to correct me shortly.

Interesting bit of trivia: the Great Lakes are connected to the Mississippi watershed by a canal, and there is a section of the canal that is electrified to discourage fish from crossing to the other side.

I'm guessing it's more to do with the interaction of the gravitational vectors of sun and moon. During a half-moon it is pulling at a right angle to the sun, during a new-moon with the sun, and during a full-moon against the sun.

Tiktok has stopped allowing me to view videos when not registered and logged in. I only view them when they are sent to me. I’m never going to register but they’ve made it less useful to the registered people who send me links.
So it’s pragmatic to publicly advocate one position and then privately advocate another?

Isn’t that what Google is doing here, publicly advocating one position (Epic are a bunch of selfish bastards) and privately advocating another (Google is entitled to screw over everybody else)? Why is Google selfish and Epic pragmatic for the exact same actions?

Fair enough on the "nutrition in the US is terrible" front, and fair enough that we need interventions beyond just drugs, but why is "taking a pill for life" a bad thing in itself? Lots of people take drugs for life and are better off for it—a daily med like Trikafta is an incredible success story.

The original comment claimed that the suggestion to wear a mask was "all theater" during a pandemic, because masks don't actually protect people.

The proposition was "wearing a mask is all theater", but your comment is explaining how not wearing a mask in particular situations was theater.

Wearing the mask is not theater, it's an effective mitigation.

Taking the mask off in an enclosed space and pretending you're safe is the theater part, but that isn't what OP was talking about.

Interesting, but I draw different lessons from the post.

Use of internal tools. Sure, everyone has internal tools, but if you are doing customer stuff, you really ought to be using the same API surface as the public tooling, which at cloud scale is guaranteed to have been exercised and tested much more than some little dev group's scripts. Was that the case here?

Passive voice. This post should have a name attached to it. Like, Thomas Kurian. Palming it off to the anonymous "customer support team" still shows a lack of understanding of how trust is maintained with customers.

The recovery seems to have been due to exceptional good fortune or foresight on the part of the customer, not Google. It seems that the customer had images or data stored outside of GCP. How many of us cloud users could say that? How many of us cloud users have encouraged customers to move further and deeper along the IaaS > PaaS > SaaS curve, making them more vulnerable to total account loss like this? There's an uncomfortable lesson here.

Yep. This is what I do with my r5. Connect to Wi-Fi network, configured to auto upload to ftp. Unfortunately no sftp support (but it will do ftps). It’s ok, but can sometimes be a bit unreliable.

What’s more annoying is that automatically adding geolocation data for photos requires a Bluetooth link to a phone via their app which seems pretty unreliable and sometimes messes up the ftp uploads. Older canon dslrs had built in GPS.

A good example of projects that do this are things built with Tauri.

I myself work on a web project with a Rust backend and a TS front end, all in the same repo.

That said I use VS: Code, not Jetbrains stuff. It handles this case just fine.
I have a personal project that uses npm for my frontend and Gradle for my backend and it just works in IntelliJ Ultimate. One module per subproject.
Aceternity UI: Make Your Websites Look 10x Beautiful
Including 1752 is problematic, in the British Empire, it was the only year with 355 days, as September 3–13 were skipped when the Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar.

These skipped days were a rolling problem across the world, when they were applied varied by country and religion of the recorder of historic accounts - they were by no means uniformly applied in the same year across the planet.

Bull. Shit.
If a forest has been leveled and I eulogize a particularly beautiful old tree that one was the pride of the land, the pedant who butts in saying “other trees died too you know” isn’t contributing anything much.
I don't know exactly about this case, but when training models like this I tend to fix a small set, or even just one, seeds to use as a baseline 'quality measure' -- while this has the risk of over-tuning, always measuring quality using random seeds means you can misjudge a model's quality because you get particularly lucky, or unlucky, seeds.

However (and again I've hit this), sometimes you don't fix everything enough, and still have some unexpected variation, like in this case.
Your math is off because you're forgetting the beverage:

~600 kcal for a Big Mac

~600 kcal for Super Size fries (7 oz)

~500 kcal for a Super Size Coca Cola (42 oz)

1700 kcal/meal or ~5000 kcal/day if breakfast is the same as lunch and dinner

The calorie count for breakfast will likely vary. Note that orange juice contains more calories than Coca Cola per volume, but I don't remember a Super Size fountain orange juice existing.

Wrong. Merely storing clinical data or providing it to clinicians who use it for diagnostics isn't sufficient for software to be considered an FDA regulated medical device. I have actually built such software and was careful to avoid adding any features that would make it a medical device. Open source software has being used legally by provider organizations for decades.

Instead of remaining ignorant and spreading secondhand misinformation you can literally just go read the federal regulations and supplementary guidance. Or just ask the FDA for a formal opinion letter if you're in a gray area. This is basic stuff, not hard to find or understand.
No C++.
Seconded. I have been a longtime user of OpenSUSE (and plain SuSE from its early days) and highly recommend it. YaST makes configuring and managing the system from a single place a breeze. All tools/apps are easily available and everything is very stable.

My advice is to stick to one distro over a long period of time so one can become familiar and comfortable with it.
It’s called Showerbreeze

This sounds like legally it would make things even harder.

At the moment, in principle you are only convicted if you guilt is "beyond a reasonable doubt". That already has to be done by a jury.

How do we decide if someone is "universally agreed upon" to be guilty? Bigger jury? Also, it would be weird to have a jury say "This person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but not universally agreed upon".
I'd always assumed these were cosmic rays
Given the order of the conversation here, I believe you'd be the pendant. The top of the chain linked to an obituary, and your first comment is essentially "he hurt my tree, good riddance".

Their model is trained only on runs it has seen before which didn't include sufficient full moon runs. So its performance degraded when it encountered a sufficiently novel variant.

Which is where the I part of AI always falls down, input that sufficiently differs.

E.g., train facial recognition on a corpus of predominately white American faces, African Americans suffer a horribly high false positive rate when the cops use your model on surveillance footage.

Since others are posting about ICQ.

It was the first way I chatted privately with a lot of people I met via stuff like internet forums or MUDs. Formed connections that lasted for years (though nothing lasts forever).

I was told to turn on my TV the morning of 9/11 after getting back from my 8am class (central time) by someone on ICQ. I spoke with a friend who was expelled from college to keep in touch with her (for a time) via ICQ.

Thinking back, it is strange how easily I let ICQ go, because it was tied up with a lot of good early internet memories, but I guess that is the way the world works, or more specifically the flow of human emotions across time.
Elsewhere, you said the you're not into tweaking your OS.

Then I agree with Mindcrime: Try PopOS. It's very easy, it's full-featured, and it makes installing software easy.
The two other main competitors, aimed at startups (and really venture investors) are Pitchbook and CB Insights.

There are several equivalent products like CapitalIQ (owned by S&P Global), Preqin, and offerings from Factset/Refinitiv that are aimed more at private equity investors (later stage) but also include some startup data.

Finally, there are specialized startup data providers like Harmonic.ai (in depth scraping of stealth startups), G2 (Yelp for enterprise software), or Clay.run (innovative UI) that all specialize in something specific but are not at the scale of the above.

How do they get the data?

The first place is SEC Form D Filings. These are required in the US after private funding rounds (lots of caveats, if, buts, etc. but let's keep it simple). This data alone can give you a decent database to start with. After that, it is web-scraping news articles, news wires, LinkedIn, etc. For very specialized areas (ie. Dev Tools), specialized data sources (say Github Archives) might be useful.

Most importantly, many of these providers aim for give-to-get dynamics. Once they become popular enough, startups will actually seek out having a profile (create data) or fix incorrect data (contribute). This is a great dynamic, of course, because it essentially creates proprietary but free data collection.

Websites like TheOrg.com have done a nice job with org charts -- they take a guess at who you report to... and a lot of employees, annoyed at being "layered", will freely fix the data. If you get enough volume, you create a give-to-get flywheel.

I agree with you what is valuable here is the proprietary data. But, behind that, is the _process_ for creating the proprietary data. You could get very good at web-scraping, parsing esoteric government filings, etc. And, maybe that space can get disrupted by someone better (say with LLMs). But ultimately, if you can get users to contribute data -- that's the "promised land" in DaaS.

I also think UI/interface is not value-less. Companies like Clay.run have done a great job making proprietary data accessible to more users. There is value there -- but the data owner collects a (fair) toll on that.
In the general case, the reason "they should just eat better and work out!" is a dumb argument against weight loss drugs in general is because the X% of the population that is obese don't and won't "just eat better and work out". If we could get them to we would have, decades ago. But we can't. It doesn't matter if it's addiction or laziness or genes or microplastics or 5G chemtrail brain worms that compel some people to eat worse and exercise less in the face of their deteriorating health. What matters is that they won't do those "lifestyle improvements anyone (theoretically) can do", so we need some other way to treat or prevent the resulting illnesses. Refusing to treat it is just pointless cruelty - and if you lack empathy or kindness, it's still an economic burden, so you should still want the treatment option.

In short, unless you have a miracle intervention of your own, the question is not "lifestyle changes or drugs", it's "let them get sick and rely on harsher drugs for those illnesses, or just use this preventative drug".

Also, in the specific case, of semaglutide - have you even read its mechanism of action? Appetite suppression through increased satiety is the closest thing imaginable to "injection that just convinces people to make the right lifestyle changes". All that's missing is the brain worm that induces restlessness and vegetable cravings.
