Yup. If you go to the wrong store, and you're not paying attention or take the per weight unit price as the single item price, you can end up at the checkout learning that the cabbage head you wanted to buy is almost $9 nowadays.
The "No lieutenant, your men are already dead" defense. I like it.

I think that if your threat model includes nation states (and the companies I was referencing above was largely S&P500 financial institutions) then you have to think the attacker also doesn’t want to trip off any alarms with a ham fisted port scan blasting the precious zeroday exploit all over the internet. Your point is still extremely valid though.

Which is why the counter I provided is that the best defense is to get as many engineers’ eyes on the problem and in the codebase as possible to prevent or find it before it becomes an issue. Things like lib XZ are scary, but it’s even scarier if not caught before it’s in the wild.
I'd argue the DoT comes surprisingly close to the FDA. And let's not get started on how backwards the FDA and USDA are with their almost competing near miss regulatory areas.
My first thought was gut hook knife, but if it's especially question mark shaped it could be a "rescue knife". They often have a backwards facing cutting edge for seatbelts and the like.

Which would you rather die of dehydration in? Desert or ocean?

I'm not sure why these are being treated as equally bad. To be one is clearly worse than the other, though both tremendously suck. You'd at least survive longer in the ocean, even if we ignored the higher availability of food.
Yeah, I don't know, the argument here I think is just dated if I'm interpreting it correctly. There's nothing there in Java that forces you to make classes that are actions or verbs. You could do the same in any language that has classes. Java has long since supported lambdas and functions that can be passed around.
We're talking about a pricing scheme conceived in a time right around the birth of the assembly line. And right around the stock market crashed.

Everything wasn't about raw profits once upon a time. So a small piece of mind makes sense.
Why would pigs have wings and fly to the moon be in the training data as a data source marked as serious? We can no true scotsman both sides here.

Dr. Palmer's book was inspired by his discovery of the 80+ years of research establishing that "mental health" diagnoses are caused by metabolic problems.

> Metabolic abnormalities have been identified in the brains and bodies of people with mental illness since the 1940's.

> We have a plethora of scientific research to support this.

I don't think the ketogenic diet is the best intervention, but it's a start. My friend figured out that she's a poor methylator who is harmed by the food fortification folic acid. Adding a methylated form of Vitamin B-9 to her routine flipped a switch for her, from "depressed" to "not-depressed", but the mental health professionals forced on her didn't care.

Dr. Palmer tweeted about his professional colleagues hurting people like my friend with anti-psychotics. While tranquilizers make the patient's symptoms seem better, they also harm the patient's metabolism. Whoops.

I presume this is about a contract around something deeper than simply having another app, otherwise they could just build the app - no contract involved.

> That strain was further relieved by additional oil and gas production in many parts
of the world and partial replacement of fossil fuels by nuclear power

> In this changed balance between supply and demand, the cost to utilities of fossil fuels
dropped substantially after the early 1980s.

> In 2001, despite a very high price for natural gas during the first part of the year, the average fossil fuel cost to utilities—dominated by the price of coal—was less than one-half the cost
in 1981, expressed in constant (i.e., inflation-adjusted) dollars.

> During part of this period, nuclear power costs rose.

> Thus, in many countries, including the United States, nuclear power lost its cost advantage over coal and even natural gas.

Fascinatingly this work paints a different picture. Note the sequence of events:

1) Fossil fuel expensive.

2) OPEC (etc.) pumps more oil out of the ground to regulate prices.

3) At the same time some places in the world take steps to avoid using fossil fuels.

4) This increased supply, and lowering in demand, makes for accidental lower prices for fossil fuels.

5) This culminates in a reduced demand for the better energy production from nuclear power.

Nuclear power wasn't made profitable in the US during this period because of the actions of other countries beyond the US and to a lesser extent the OPEC countries.

> were instrumental in aiding the rapid restoration.

I don’t call 13 days a rapid restoration. I also don’t trust Google’s post-mortem documentation more than an independent news organization to be honest about what really happened. Especially while Google is actively gaslighting their users about the errors in its AI search [1].

Right, but people use search engines to search for answers, don't they? Aren't answers something?

I ask Google questions so that it gives me websites where there are answers to those questions.

What foods are high in vitamin C?
How long is a flight from New York to LA?
How large is the moon?
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

I timestamped that to 2nd stage separation, and it gives a cool impression about what it's like (particularly the astronaut on the left's reaction).
That's not a bug though. It's an intentional "feature". Microsoft just expects you to fully trust them. Because that's 100% required for their new business model where all your data and processing lives in their cloud.
That's also clear but I don't think the original is odd wording at all... Like I said, two separate sentences. If you read the first one, not sure how you misread the second one as applying to only a portion of the first one.

What is odd about the original wording? If anything, the one you present feels more formal/awkward compared to normal conversational English.

Personally I think it's absolutely ludicrous to believe that anyone would be trying to suggest that only now, in the year 2024, has a possibly-innocent person been executed in either Texas or the US. Like, you'd need crazy strong evidence to make that claim, while the post in question seems very specific to shaken baby syndrome.

It feels like an intentionally un-charitable, adversarial reading.

I’m kinda glad you said something to be honest. I wanted to mention the voiceover being cringe but it’s also hard to pre-apologize for something without raising a lot of alarm bells.

I’m still proud of the overall talk. I’m glad I pushed a limit, found it, and learned from it.

Your comment stated what you saw and how you felt about it. I think you did a great job speaking up without lashing out or talking down. I appreciate that.

It's a very chilling effect. Instead of American football driving things, it should be drone piloting. We should reorganize our culture around drone flying, in order to be more competitive during world war 3 that we find ourselves in. We should have a national league of drone pilots, and every high school in the country should be fielding teams to find the best pilots across the country to the level of the Superbowl.

It's an open war with Ukraine only so far. And many are not aware of the wider geopolitics of it, they don't know their countries are at war with Russia. Open attacks would scare many of those people and make them more hostile towards the Russian side. As it stands many are more neutral and Putin even has a significant number of fans in the West.
> k8s is good software, and best-in-class when it comes to open source options

No it isn’t, it’s a solution in search of a problem that is needlessly complex, wastes engineering cycles on what could have been product development, and has violated every principal of orthogonal design.
Note taking is great not just for recovering from distractions but also preventing them in the first place. Just jot down branching tasks that would've been a distraction and come back to them later instead of being the Hal fixing a lightbulb meme.
Not only does Fork support --first-parent, but it even lets you expand/collapse any merge commit just by clicking the node in the graph!
Agreed it's the best way to make sense of a merge-heavy history.

I highly recommend Fork.
That is reasonable though if a missing feature is trivially obvious must-have. Browsers (and standards, and platforms) that are slow to add it must develop themselves better. It’s nice to respect compat if a new way is a redesign based on feedback, e.g. you used poll/select and now it’s epoll/kqueue/iocp with a fallback. But if it is a feature that was simply missing for years, e.g. UIKit adding random useful methods which existed since forever in Cocoa, no respect. Really, you don’t want to support a platform that takes years to wake up. Let their users know that it’s obsolete, they will update.
Kind of the point? The system winds up being stupidly reactionary - at best it's the same outcome as the industry self-regulation. Tossing government enforcement on there though you wind up with the old "we're just going to ban it" as an outcome, which you always end up as because people are doing political grandstanding and that requires oneupmanship on their perceived rivals.

> The things I mentioned (local symbol auto-complete, reference-chasing, global go-to-symbol) are things that modern code editors do by default for any programming language

Sure, they can. But as said, they are still quite basic stuff compared to what IDEs do. It's better than nothing, but they don't contribute to productivity as IDEs do.

> Honestly, I think I just... haven't ever felt the need to do these things in Java?

This is surprising for me, but hey, each of us are a different use case.

My recommendation is to try an IDE extensively, and then you decide what suits you better. I did this, and never looked back (for Java programming; I'm still using Vim extensively for general text edition, for example).
Isn't it then a weapon's race which will depend first on immediate CPU and energy resources available + how quickly it can drive further allocation of CPU-energy towards itself, etc?

The end game will happen very quickly once the needed ingredients and initial integrations are there from the beginning.

Otherwise I think AI avatars competing against other AI avatars, where they are honed-trained by a specific person or organization, is how we'll determine and create the different future paths of indoctrination for learning - whether the narratives that win out and get propagated are the truth or not, or if it is the "winners write history" as the outcome that reigns.
"in which countries switch away from simple, whole-food diets as they become wealthier"

Is this actually the case? I see the switch away happening when whole-food diets become more expensive. The whole point of processed foods is that they can be made, delivered and served at industrial scale, cheaply. Cooking at home isn't even cheaper to many people because the required time shopping and preparing is expensive. This isn't because the countries are wealthier, but due to income disparity. The wealthy can afford the expensive, healthier choices.

Interesting where Australia sits. Maybe the tyranny of distance? Without the population to sustain too much of a local manufacturing industry, most of the ULP food is imported, raising the costs.
Oh, it's really cool, I like it a lot.
I often use it and micro in Docker and servers to replace vim (to be honest, I don't like vim, I find it difficult to use -- just my personal opinion), with x-cmd I can quickly use helix and micro, just x hx, x micro.
That’s like saying “the problem with aircraft is that they keep crashing when there is not enough lift under the wings, so the obvious answer is to get rid of wings”.

Only, it would even be stupider if your grasp of programming was as great as your understanding of aerodynamics.
> Fundamentally this should have been sorted with a properly designed trial with the correct protocol of sufficient size to answer the question. Given what was on the line why has it not been done?

That's an interesting question but if you're suggesting it implies something either direction: why?

Obviously there are a LOT of politicians and people strongly interested in a "masks are useless" position.

But it's not just that the "masks are useful" people have failed to satisfy you.

It's also that the "masks are not useful" crowd has not published a conclusive study of their own.

So it's not convincing to me that the truth is anything other than "masks have varying effectiveness, though the supply-chain-crunch plain-cloth-mask world of 2020 wasn't the ideal type of mask."

Do you have reason to believe an N95 isn't effective? What about a P99? (In the world of media I consume, these types of masks vs cloth masks are things that were widely discussed, along with PM2.5 etc. So the "it was presented as black and white" crowd seems just uniformed of their own volition, maybe watching too much partisan media who had an interest in presenting the issue in a one-sided manner.)
> [merit slots] will become competitive without a strict standard required

Yes, and I see this as a good thing. If someone wants free tuition at a top university, they have to be very good, way above average. Free tuition at a good, but not top school would be a lot less competitive, but still require ability and work.

And we should also get away from the current state where everyone feels compelled to spend 4-5 years on higher education after school. That's a fad of the last 30 years and it is not a healthy one for the society. My 2c.

Because acknowledging the utility of these solutions would mean facing that you yourself have an issue or a problem and the readers would rather maintain cognitive dissonance about that.
I was thinking about that, and I would guess no. The bubble pushing through the pasta would likely break into small bubbles again.

You are as likely to have an Apple engineer create a bug report for you on Apple's forums as you are here.

http://feedbackassistant.apple.com is where you file such requests. Just keep in mind that the wall they have between public and internal systems means you may not get updates unless you periodically ask for them.
If you look at the data on the apps (or talk to both men and women on the apps), they have very different experiences. Men typically have a hard time matching, making it hard for them to find the person they want but also making them feel desperate. On the other hand women don't have a hard time getting a match, but the quality of their matches is low. This makes it hard for them to sort through potential matches and are more likely to experience men who are charismatic but not actually a good match.

I think often we don't realize how different our experiences are in dating. There are definitely core shared similarities but there are lots of differences and create different strategies that make us often envy the other. For example, many men will just "swipe right" on everyone and then select after a match because being choosy in the first round may be emotionally draining (as a tiny part gets invested in the "potential" matches that never come). But this strategy is much more uncommon in women.

But dating has always been an asymmetric game. The risk/reward structure is very different for the two players. (E.g. getting date raped as a man is so unlikely that it's rarely heard of. But for a woman it's still unlikely but common enough that there's probably a woman you know that has had it happen -- even if you don't know it has).

If there was a conspiracy I think they would not have made such a foolish and obvious error.
If you read code and don't think about what it's doing, are you really "reading" it?

Reading code without running it in your head feels like reading prose without actually comprehending it.

This would track to me. Rich people don't give a shit about economic conditions for labor so they've based "the economy" on made up vibes, no taxes, and stock buybacks. Labor cannot easily gain access to savings. Most people can't afford a few hundred dollar emergency. Of course they're going to view the economy as bad. The real one is.
This would have 90% of the employees revolting within hours of instituting; for a very good reason.

if you're of the best story or essay writers, chatgpt won't be able to help you much. If you're one of the very top programmers, you will find chatgpt full of all kinds of stupid mistakes in the work you doest (which is hard). If you are not a native speaker (like me), chatgpt is magical for helping me write. If you're an average developer, chatgpt would offer tremendous help as most problems you encountered are common problmes that chatgpt is likely to solve (or contain fewer mistakes in doing so). So no it is not equal. High skill workers certainly lose more comparatively.
If your original source is provably transpilable to C with no UB, and your compiler provably compiles that C without any bungling, then you've made it. The standard is bad and I want to see the end of C before I'm dead, but this isn't a stretch, and C is just a detail in the process.
I continue to be amazed the things you learn on HN. When I was in Poland last summer I learned that a number of Jewish leaders there between the two world wars advocated for a Jewish homeland. But they were never able to convince the government to publicly declare that support. Despite the fact at the time Jews made up to 25% of Poland's population.

Every new release of Python 3.x further erodes this idea. I like using the new features because I find Python generally inexpressive and verbose, but I have a hard time explaining to nondevelopers who read the code about the assignment expression, keyword only arguments, structural pattern matching, typing improvements and deprecations and so on.

Whisper works ... kinda. I'm hoping there's another set of models released at some point, the error rate isn't appalling to me because i am transcribing TV shows and radio shows for personal use, so it's not mission critical.

There are a few whisper diarization "projects" but i've never been able to get it to work. Whisper does have word-level timestamps, so it should be simple to "plug in" diarization.

I don't need an LLM or whatever this project has, but i will see if it's runnable and if it's any better than what a couple podcasts i listen to use.

edit: see some people mentioning whisperx, which is one of those things that was cool until moving fast broke things:

>As of Oct 11, 2023, there is a known issue regarding slow performance with pyannote/Speaker-Diarization-3.0 in whisperX. It is due to dependency conflicts between faster-whisper and pyannote-audio 3.0.0. Please see this issue for more details and potential workarounds.

which means that what i gain is a ~3x increase in large-v2 speeds but i instantly lose those gains with diarization, unless i track down 8 month old bug workarounds.

I'll stick with the py venv whisper install i've been using for the last 16 months, tyvm
Grokked Transformers Are Implicit Reasoners
Another unexpected animal behavior: I know of a local facility that has a fenced campus with a fair amount of green space where the squirrels all bounce around. They hop (fairly high, actually) from place to place rather than run on the ground. I think it's because there is a large population of feral cats and the grass isn't mowed all that often, so cats can hide and non-bouncy squirrels get eaten.

Nonetheless, it's absolutely charming to watch.
