The only thing that's really a definition of ultra-processed in your first link is the nova classification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_classification

The nova classification is really not great in my opinion because it's just a list of a few ingredients and techniques that don't happen to currently typically be used in home cooking, because that can be used as a proxy for whether the food as home cooked, and it's not actually related to the amount of processing or whether it's hyperpalatable in any sense.

If they just want to compare mass produced food to similar home cooked food in their research I think that's fine, but then it's not really an issue about whether it's "ultra-processed", and if everyone accepts that that's the definition of ultra-processed then mass produced food will simply stop using those ingredients/techniques, e.g. using sucrose instead of corn syrup (a lot of foods that people would probably accept as "ultra-processed" already do this)

By defining "ultra-processed" in this way it also seems like they have an axe to grind, because they intentionally want to exclude stuff like home-baked cakes which are clearly very highly processed and intended to be extremely palatable.

I don't really understand the point of a definition where a home baked cake is not "ultra-processed" but a store bought loaf of bread with a negligible amount of HFCS is "ultra processed" (but maybe wouldn't be if you replaced the HFCS with sucrose) unless you presuppose that all mass produced foods are less healthy than all home cooked foods, which seems like a pretty dubious assumption.

Because he thought he could stay out of jail there.

"Smuggled" implies it was done without the consent or knowledge of the Bahamas government. Otherwise, it's standard U.S. Marshals stuff.
That’s why you gotta use liteFS on fly.io or cloudflare d1. And of course, don’t use php
So we have a proposal that is -

a) easily broken given it has no effective revocation process.
b) has no explanation of how it could possibly work on non-proprietary hardware and operating systems.
c) opens with praise from Jonathan Haidt, who might kindly be described as a scientifically illiterate fantasist.
d) does not understand that the problematic effects of age verification on queer teenagers is that their parents may be abusive, not that their parents could give them the occasional exemption.
e) creates single identifiers that destroy private access and creates a honeypot for abusive sextortionists to target vulnerable women and teenagers in much the same way as any age verification system.
f) gives a small group of big tech companies with arbitrary control over all content access.
g) falls apart due to extraterritoriality, as Australia has just found out.

I was playing at an outdoor concert recently - last year I suffered from the combination of paper sheet music + wind.. so this year I used an Android tablet in portrait mode where I could flicker to the next one relatively easily with a finger (no fancy bluetooth pedal control or anything). Me, wind: 1-0. This particular tablet was actually visible in full daylight when I turned the screen light to its maximum.

After this I've been thinking how nice a Kindle-style display would be (not to mention battery), the more sunlight the better, kind of. A Kindle is too small, and well.. I know there are others (that Remarkable someone mentioned), but..

What about this Daylight one? Overkill maybe?
The iOS Bug That Made Deleted Photos Reappear
I think ideas like campaign finance reform are in the right direction, but how do we actually accomplish that? The people that can do it are the people blocking it because it isn't in their interests. How do you get the country to a place where this is possible? My top 'if only' (after you remove campaign finance reform) are:
- Some form of ranked choice voting.
- Fixing gerrymandering.
Of those I think ranked choice has some momentum and could lead to positive change. Gerrymandering is, again, an issue with the people that can change it won't because it is against their interests.
I disagree that it is wrong. It's pragmatic.
I thought EPIC was already kind of the defacto national healthcare patient software system, seems like every hospital uses them.
It would need a bit more than CoT; in this case probably it would actually need to write code, find a dataset and run the code. ChatGPT (the consumer product, not the model) can do part of this, but the model alone will tend to fail as it simply doesn’t have most spellings. A bigger meta problem is that the model doesn’t know if it knows something or not, so letting a model provide information from its “gut” is catastrophically unreliable. It can’t even know if it should look something up or not, except with a stereotype of itself, which will also be very sloppy.

And it’s on top of Google because important people making decisions don’t understand this and think these are “bugs” that will be “fixed”.

I like my rm2, but 2 of my biggest issues are:

- Syncing changes I make to PDFs to Google drive is tedious

- For some reason there's a restriction of color when drawing on the PDF. Even if The tablet is black and white which is fine, I want to be able to select a wide range of colors since ultimately I'll want to be able to view the PDFs on a legit RGB computer.

Coincidentally, Little Snitch on macOS 13.6.7 recently caught photoanlysisd attempting to make a connection to bag.itunes.apple.com. This is unusual, because I hadn't created a photoanlysisd rule in Little Snitch before, which suggests that it wasn't attempting to phone home before.

The connection details say summary over 4 days, last denied May 19. This would put the first connection on May 15 or 14, soon after 13.6.7 and iOS 17.5 were released on May 13.

Is it possible for end users to deploy their own operating systems and software?

And do you make it easy for them to do so?

One of my pet peeves about the Android ecosystem is Google's abusive licensing restrictions for their extended service stack prohibiting vendors from distributing their own forks of the base software.

This is the sort of device that I'd be interested in from the hardware perspective, but would not even consider if it's not possible to strip every last remnant of Google from it.
Waste of time yes in the sense that just doing deep tech means it is still basically just an idea. You recognize this.

Not a waste of time though if you foresee your current role ending in a few years and then you have to find something else. It is more common for these side research projects to be helpful in finding a new role. And having gone deep in a domain can make you valuable in consulting.
Debounce makes act on release a lot harder than act on press. If you want act on release with a bouncy switch you have to actually act on N number of milliseconds of switch open to ensure that it's an actual release and not a bounce.

Act on press is simply just rising edge and then suppress for N milliseconds.

Pleasantly surprised- this actually looks useful.
It was not a complete transition, but I decided to build my own Software Development company instead of working as a software engineer for another company.

I started this company along with 12 other co-workers. We are in our 30s, I am turning 34 this year. In the last three months, we have focused on training people. We have a team of 45 people now from overseas.

The main reason for building this company is for me to have more control on my own time, that's the idea at first, but somehow my passion for software engineering has been rekindled. There is something about training people, I enjoy working with our developers and seeing them grow.

I find it hard to switch to another industry or field of work at this age. Having your own family, with the kids and other responsibilities, makes it hard to reinvent yourself. You are not as free as before when you are still single and have complete control over your time.

This is still conflating the USSR and Russia. The Russian SFSR, AFAICT, had exactly the same borders as Russia did before it started biting off pieces of its neighbors.
I realize that I'm a non-central example of a phone customer, but I'd be more than willing to give up thinness for more repairability, and I loathe hole punch/cutout screens, so I would actively pay more money to get the simpler rectangular screen, which would presumably come with ease of repair benefits (assuming that were an option. Unfortunately, it appears that almost no one except Sony still makes rectangle displays for phones anymore).

It's absoultely true that making a phone more repairable comes with tradeoffs. Thinness being the most obvious one, but It's also likely true that a truly repairable phone would be more expensive.

I do not think that performance, reliability, or longevity are necessary tradeoffs though.
Survival is not the same as thriving. Survival is the bottom rung on Maslow's hierarchy and below that is death.

Being versed in the terminology of a subject is not the same as being an adept practitioner.

The next few generations will become better practitioners while us graybeards (encompassing down to those in high school now) will suffer from the consequences of not receiving a better education in mental wellness and lacking the structural supports necessary for that.

There are still a lot of barriers to widespread mental wellness from taking root in American culture: homelessness, poverty, class, conservatism, regressive religions, et cetera.
I've only had one fatal PC accident, which took out the motherboard and CPU. This happened about a decade ago, CPU was an i7-870 and I ran Windows 7 on it.

The SSD and GPU was fine, so I quickly changed the motherboard to a several-years old low-end dual-core Celeron I had held on to when upgrading someones PC. It didn't have more than 2GB of memory either.

Windows 8 had just been released, so I tried installing that as I had read they had spent some effort trying to make it run better on lower-end hardware.

Surprisingly, with the SSD, I could hardly notice the difference to my old box in regular use. Sure it was a tad more sluggish at certain things, but overall it ran like a champ. With the beefy GPU I could even play a lot of games at decent framerates.

I recall being quite impressed at the time.
I'm highlighting how silly it is to blame the destruction of North American wildlife on "Market Economies". I think it an incredibly bad take.
Amazon plans to charge Alexa users a monthly fee once AI version rolls out
This is true, both cynically and literally. There have been many complete and partial defections recently as China swoops in with B&R foreign direct infrastructure and industrial investment.

The US needs to adjust with more competitive foreign economic policies because tariffs aren't it. All of those trillions wasted in Afghanistan and Iraq for diesel power plants to nowhere could've been sprinkled around the Global South to advance economic development resulting in greater wealth elsewhere able to afford American goods and services, source raw materials, and develop manufacturing relationship in various countries in, say, Africa... like China is doing.

What's the key insight?
I'm a big fan of "the bazaar," but it requires a lot more cognitive load and a lot more legwork to patch together how to do things.

Living in the Google ecosystem means a lot of your services are integrated, and that's actually pretty great. Docs knows about email. Email knows about photos. My mobile device knows about all this stuff.

Those ecosystems are not just the software units, they're the integration. And I've done enough decades of running my own bespoke GNU/Linux-derived distros to know that the integration is an extremely nontrivial lift.

There's a reason people keep checking into these software hotels instead of building their own shacks in the woods, even if they don't own the walls. I don't think users will be particularly happy with those who force them to live in the shacks, and the idea that they now own the peeling paint and malfunctioning floorboards will be cold comfort.

Audit and Beyond: The True Story of AuditBoard
Thanks for the rec. I'm going to check out "Human Smoke". Now I want to recommend "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son"[1] which is a collection of letters that a man, who made his wealth through the Chicago meat industry, to his son who went to college. It gave a warming perspective of a parent who would express his love in one letter, and frustration towards his son for showing up to work late in another. It beautifully illustrates a "modern" parent-child relationship in a time period I often imagine as cold and distant.

I am a little confused by your mention of "EC2 autoscaler" and then "EC2 ASG" autoscaler, but if I'm hearing you correctly and you'd want "self managed ASGs," then you may have some success adapting Keda <https://github.com/kedacore/keda#readme> (or your-favorite-event-driven-gizmo) to monitor the metrics that interest you and driving ec2.LaunchInstances on the other side, since as very best I can tell that's what ASGs are doing just using their serverless-event-something-or-other versus your serverless-event-something-or-other. I would suspect you could even continue to use the existing ec2.LaunchTemplate as the "stamp out copies of these" system, since there doesn't appear to be anything especially ASG-y about them, just that is the only(?) consumer thus far

I get the direction that the video was going on... but all it did in my mind was prove that it was completely possible. 5k solarpanels, two full football fields or 17 small nuclear reactors is all that is required for the process? I would have thought it'd be more.

I get what you're saying... it will be hard... for sure... Is it possible in the timeframes being discussed? probably not. Is it an endevor for our generation to embark on? yes. It's the greatest adventure ever written, and yeah... it's gunna suck for all people involved. It's a hostile wasteland.

With that out of the way... I think the video you linked tells the story dishonestly. The deltav required to get from mars, nor to the moon back to the ISS, is no where near refilling a full tank. Without a retro burn, it would require around 1/8th of the deltaV.

Secondly, you can send 10, 20 starships before, or each cycle and spin up. No one is saying that the very first time you send people they will use Insitu 100%. Maybe they bring the hydrogen, or the carbon dioxide and try and get a plant going. Or they can send all the fuel required beforehand. Once they have some kind of more permanant presence, they can slowly ramp up and take a more and more of the process on.

Not all these projects need to be solved at once. With 100T carrying capacity of each starship, all the youtube video convinced me of that it will take around 30-40 starships... which isn't that wild.

I would be more interested in what you think about the more advanced manufacturing, despite all the problems and infrastructure required?

While the prospect of short-term financial gains through stock buybacks and increased margins might seem tempting for some companies, the long-term repercussions of displacing the workforce are far more detrimental.

> How would "the ecosystem" prevent this?

Yeah, not sure it was possible given the incentives.

> How do you expect this to happen?

Institutions will stake their tokens and have disproportionate voice in the consensus. Whenever the US government tell them to do something fishy, they will oblige and no one can do anything. That's not surprising, though: this deficiency in PoS has been well known for a long time.
> Sometimes, humans just suck and there's nothing you can do about it.

I think all humans suck, just like all humans have the capacity to be kind, considerate and "good". It depends on the circumstances.

Most importantly, I think the somewhat common notion that inhabitants of Germany during the 30s and 40s were intrinsically evil is a very dangerous belief—if we as a society don't understand the underlying mechanisms of what happened and why, we're at risk of repeating it.
