>>“Plant-sourced dietary patterns, as characterized by low consumption or complete omission of eggs, dairy products, fish, and meat, have been associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases, as well as a substantial reduction in impacts on the environment.4 There has been an increase in the consumption of plant-sourced alternative foods in recent years, with a two-fold increase in the proportion of people reporting consuming these products in the UK.5 In 2019, the UK Climate Change Committee recommended a 20% reduction in high-carbon meat and dairy products by 2030, with an increased consumption of plant-sourced products.6 These recommendations are in line with national and international guidelines for a healthy diet that guide the reduction of meat consumption, especially red meat.7 However, plant-sourced dietary patterns are heterogeneous and may differ widely in their dietary composition, type, and quality,8 and evidence has shown the potential protective effect of plant-sourced diets on CVD may vary accordingly.9, 10, 11
Modern plant-sourced diets may incorporate a range of ultra-processed foods (UPF), such as sugar-sweetened beverages, snacks, confectionery, but also the ‘plant-sourced’ sausages, nuggets, and burgers that are produced with ingredients originating from plants and marketed as meat and dairy substitutes.“
Yeah, I'm jealous of my grandparents' ability to do that - my grandfather founded a company, cashed out to retire early, and spent a couple decades travelling extensively, prior to the age of social media.
It’s hard to not a cynic when your company business plan involves some combination of perpetual motion and time travel.
In the same game, for character animations, instead of just using bones like others were doing - often resulting in some big distortions with low-poly characters - they set up per-vertex animation, letting the artists manually position any vertex every frame. Then wrote a custom compression algorithm in assembly to store it.
I largely agree with you. Spreadsheets are arguably the most successful no-code/low-code tool out there in that they've enabled millions of people to automate some task or complex process and effectively become programmers, despite the fact that I personally find an empty spreadsheet to be kind of intimidating to look at.

I think the only point of disagreement we might have is that I don't necessarily think that the speadsheet, even an improved one, is the best graphical model/structure for articulating complex processes, but it seems to be the best we've discovered thus far.

> Modern languages are not like C/C++

I think there's a bit of a misconception here.

Ardour is written in C++ and depends on 80+ other libraries.

The dependency situation may be exacerbated by packaging culture that encourages the use of lots of relatively small dependencies, but it is by no means determined by language or even context.
I was thinking they could have solved this earlier, perhaps if they had found they couldn’t plug wells properly decades ago, they might not have allowed as much drilling, or would have researched and experimented sooner to figure it out. My point being, the fact that these companies abandoned it without thinking is a cause of the current issues.
I’ve had similar experiences. My most alarming ones though were getting up in the morning, my partner beaming at me, and she sees my face and goes, “ah, you don’t remember last night do you? I figured you might still be asleep!”

We’d have sex and I’d have no recollection of it. Fortunately, my “sleeping” self is still a good lay. Other times, I’ve “woken up” mid intercourse or kissing.

I’ve since had to tell every woman I’ve been in bed with that it might happen on an off chance. Interestingly - none have shown any concern! Maybe it’s more common than I think it is.
If you can’t refute it just say there’s an agenda.

It's mentioned in the linked article -- he was caught on video hitting and kicking a woman 117 times but because the video was gathered without getting a warrant, it wasn't admissible in court and he got away with a misdemeanor charge.

There's a lot of stuff to know! Senior+ isn't called that because some rando can memorize a couple of things in 5 minutes and ace the interview. It takes years to learn tons everything and get an intuition for things, and even then there's a bunch you still won't know.

The systems design interview is in knowing enough of the building blocks and being smart enough to put them together, and being able to discuss why put them together that way. There's no right answer, using a relational database to ingest log messages from a service is an acceptable answer to the right question, but you have to be able to sit there and explain the tradeoffs being made and when you would and wouldn't want to do that.

As you've noted, studying the questions won't help unless you memorize enough of the questions and get lucky. So get to know enough of the building blocks well so you can come up with a combination of them that's reasonable. All systems have tradeoffs, what's the optimal, least-bad solution? What are the considerations you're optimizing for. The system you'd build for a FAANG isn't the same system you'd build for a VC-funded company, isn't the same one you'd build for a boot-strapped company.
When I travelled internationally in the 1990s—so maybe 30 years—I was pretty much unreachable. I’ve never had an EPIRB. And didn’t really have a routinely connected cellphone until probably 25 years ago or so when I got a Treo.

I had a cellphone earlier but it was something I used rarely.

This contradicts the oft-cited truism that increase in PUFAs invariably leads to better metabolic outcomes. Much of what makes UPFs high-calorie is their fat content (normally, vegetable/canola oil). It seems like there are other mechanisms involved.
That's the convenient line of blind apathy they rely on, to sell iPhones. If people cared, they would object to owning an iPhone just from the material and labor cost of it... but they don't. It's a running joke that nobody cares what next year's iPhone looks like as long as the trade-in value is good. Apple couldn't kill their brand if they tried, past this point. People don't pay attention anyways.

Which is why it's good for us to demand more from capable companies. Apple looks good when they're scared, and the market wins when they're forced to compete in novel and interesting ways. Success breeds complacency, the rest is distant history.

Bullshit. Almost 6 years in Aomori, and rare is the month that I don't see a car crashed on the side of the road, even on sunny summer days. Meanwhile in my home region (Extremadura, Spain, also a rural region) I could go years without seeing a single crash. I am sure that the design and maintenance of the roads has something to do with it.

Revive old flash games using ruffle and trystero
Some of you may know ruffle (https://ruffle.rs).
Thats an flash emulator that makes it possible to run flash in the browser using javascript.
Recently ruffle implemented a way to proxy TCP connections via WebSocket.
This needs an extra websocket server that does the proxying.

My goal however was to implement multiplayer purely in the browser without an own server.
And thats where trystero (https://github.com/dmotz/trystero) comes into play.
Trystero uses WebRTC and various signaling mechanisms to allow free decentral communication between browsers.

Using those 2 tools and by hooking window.WebSocket i was able to revive an old game from my childhood.
BomberPengu!

You can find the code and demo here: https://github.com/freehuntx/bomberpengu

Im still adding missing functionality to it but some things are already working and im pretty happy about it :)
In the future i will try to revive even more old swf multiplayer games using this technique!

Hope some of you found this interesting! Have a nice evening :)
I once had the romantic idea of making beer from a 200 year old recipe. Didn't get too far with it, but I recall one of the pieces of advice being not to let your horse stop walking while it's stomping the grain from the chaff, because it will urinate and ruin your ingredients. Also no mention of yeast - I guess you just took it on faith that fermentation would start if you kept it wet and warm.
What a clown. The attacked journalist was well within her right to respond ala Edward R. Murrow, when he responded to Senator Joe McCarthy's equally clownish rant:

"Last week, Senator McCarthy appeared on this program to correct any errors he might have thought we made in our report of March 9th.

Since he made no reference to any statements of fact that we made, we must conclude that he found no errors of fact."[1]

Bought my first MacBook almost 20 years ago now and been almost permanently online since then (for better or worse).

Connectivity existed, esp outbound. Of course it wasn't as ubiquitous and cheap as now, but it was there. Heck Starlink is cheaper than my home fiber.
>GPU is still almost universally used to mean graphics processing unit.

No, GPU is almost universally used to mean GPU. There is nothing graphical about cryptocurrency, "AI" (sans image generation), protein crunching, and whatever else they are being used for that aren't graphical.

I question how many people are even aware the G is supposed to stand for Graphics anymore. The nomenclature is outdated and doesn't reflect reality anymore.
> Yeah no you don't. Your model of productivity and QoL improvement went off a cliff in the 60s.

I'm not talking about the "60s".

I'm talking about the entire history of the human race from the Paleolithic until now. It's nothing but a long, long list of technological disruptions, and somehow we're all still here and mostly still employed.

> increases in required workload to maintain "middle-class" lifestyles,

I'm sorry, that is simply patent nonsense. You could easily lead a '60s middle-class lifestyle (one family car, eating out just a few tiems a year, maybe one short vacation, house < 1,000 square feet...not to mention all the things we have today that weren't available at all then. For example, the Internet) for a lot less than what the typical "middle-class" lifestyle of today costs.

The average house size in the United States has doubled since 1960.

When I was in graduate school, I bought a small house (about 900 square feet, I think) because I was living on a TA salary (plus, I hate landlords).

The thing is, when that tiny house was built in the 1940s, it housed a married couple and four children. I know because I bought it from the children (their father had passed on, and their mother moved to a nursing home).

New Long Covid Definition Proposed by National Academies
You have to understand that until extremely recently- and still, not everywhere, as politics is any indication- people very seriously and genuinely believe that being gay or trans is tantamount to being a pedophile in terms of wrongness. It isn't so much about how you feel, but how others are making you feel.

Imagine if you felt fine in your body... but people around you stared and turned up their nose at you wherever you went because there was some kind of rumour that said you were a pedo. Imagine how incredibly harmful that would be, day in and day out, to your psyche, to your mental health, unable to escape it. Imagine if everyone avoided you because- even if they didn't believe you were one- they didn't want to be seen associating with someone everyone thought was one. Imagine if your family believed that. Imagine, no matter how much you tried to say you weren't and prove you weren't, they still believed it, because that's what the culture you're in says it's equal a crime to.

It's no doubt that the people who persist because they know their personal truth are unfathomably strong people. And for those who don't make it, you can understand why. Once you realize this injustice, it's hard not to be on their side and be incensed against that prejudice, seeing the laws being passed in the US specifically to harm them, as ludicrous.

GRU? What year is this?
This is the part that’s always so humorous to me about the super tinfoil hat security crowd. They think they’re in the plot of Mr Robot or something. When for the most part, no one actually cares about them at all.

My dad fits into this category. So worried about being “tracked by the government.” He’s not a dissident. He’s not a journalist. Not a freedom fighter. Just deeply inconveniencing his kids with some of his tech choices.

But if these people were the targets of APTs, all the massive technology lifestyle changes they’ve made to supposedly protect themselves wouldn’t really matter.

Kind of funny that someone's syllabus from a class taught in 2015 has done more to broaden my mind concerning speculative computing futures and "what-ifs" than anything else I've come across.
So, this is a good idea. Having opinions about what AGI benchmarks should look like is a great way to argue about the kind of technology we want to build for the future.

However, why are the 100 test tasks secret? I don't understand why how resisting “memorization” techniques requires it. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

> Have we taken our cynicism at work too far?
> In some ways, our bad attitude makes sense. Many of us made work our church, only to end up laid off, burned out or underpaid. Now we check out, do less, gossip and snark.

To me, this fundamentally isn't cynicism - it's burnout. Perhaps one could argue, cynicism is burnout on a longer time scale.

If you call someone a cynic, most won't really understand; mildly offended. But when you identify it as "it looks like you burnt out 10 years ago in that project at XYZ and never recovered". I really identify with that.

Humans are weird creatures and "undoing" internal narratives we've built for ourselves is very hard.

Largely agree with the rest of the article.
Two other points - I've also forgotten a bunch, but also know I could "relearn" it faster than the first time around.

To continue your example, I know I've learned calculus and was lauded at the time. Now I could only give you the vagaries, nothing practical. However I know if I was pressed, I could learn it again in short order.
> There's a lot of highly idiosyncratic designs for gates, heavily customized for the physical and electrical context that they're used in - and I won't deny that they're often very clever and space-efficient, but they were also extraordinarily time-intensive to design, and weren't reusable.

Is this optimization now something that hardware design tools do automatically?
> The only thing i dont like about rp2040 is the package, not hobbyist home soldering friendly for custom board designs.

- Use home SMT reflow solutions like toaster ovens or hot sand in frying pans; or

- As the other reply suggested, use 'breakout boards' to turn the RP2040 into a through hole part; or

- Use SMT assembly services, which are getting cheaper all the time

It's not just a problem with the rp2040 - loads of modern parts have very fine pitches and/or hidden pads, gotta find a way to work with them or stick to aging out, larger parts and miss out on things like PIO.
Nothing stops you from linking against glibc statically from rust. It’s recommended to link against glibc dynamically, but that’s just as true for any language.

Show HN: Probabilistic Tic Tac Toe with expectiminimax
I was inspired by yesterday's post from Cameron Sun (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40635397) to put a couple hours into expanding this game concept. I wanted a better computer opponent, so I implemented one with expectiminimax (i.e. game theory, not really "AI") to pick optimal moves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectiminimax). I also created a more basic web-based implementation with some minor UI updates to the original.

This was mainly for proof of concept of expectiminimax as a viable computer strategy for playing this game, so it's not mobile friendly and might have bugs. Code is open-source for anyone interested: https://github.com/keshavsaharia/pt3
But that seems circular; what determines whether an interaction imparts a constraint, or doesn't?

Let's say that I send a photon through a beam-splitter which will deflect its momentum either right or left. QM predicts that the photon at the output of the beamsplitter will be in a superposition of both trajectories, and we can prove this by adding mirrors that combine both possible output beams back together with another and generate an interference pattern. The interference pattern will be detected by a sensitive photodiode array, capable of detecting individual photons.

Would you say the interaction with the photodiode array counts as a measurement? And the interaction with the mirror does not? How does QM know whether a photon interaction with a bunch of atoms in a mirror coating, vs in a silicon diode, creates a constraint on the evolution of the system? Why is one interaction measurement-like in nature, but not the other? Is there some property of silicon diodes that make them immune to being put into quantum superpositions?

I would have said that quantum erasure experiments make by far the most sense if you consider measurement to never happen, and the result is merely a superposition of both outcomes. The photon is put into a superposition of both states when it reaches the beamsplitter, the detector screen is put into a superposition of both states when the superposition-photon reaches it, and so are you in turn when you observe the detector screen.
Devoid of meaningful nutrition would actually be super healthy all things considered given that for most of the developed world the #1 thing you can do for your health is eat less.
