I cut out sugar for a month recently and my sleep cut in half and my depression really worsened. Really affected my job performance. I didn't think it would last that long or be that bad. It's crazy.

I went back to eating bit of sugar and the same night had a great sleep.

Not sure what to do now. I find it easy not to eat it but the side effects are very difficult to deal with

Sure, you're out of ketosis. Anyone who says you have to be in ketosis all the time for low-carb to work at weight loss is confusing medical ketogenic diets (e.g., for epilepsy) with practical ones. Medical keto diets don't have leeway because they depend on the ketone bodies as an antiepileptic drug. Weight loss keto is more about taming the cravings and getting you away from junk food.

I lost my weight over a decade ago, before "keto" was a buzzword. I've become less strict, because I know that if my weight starts going up, I don't have a problem going very-low-carb to drop it again. It's still calories in, calories out, at the end of the day - but for me, it's a very sustainable diet. I like cookies, but if you offered me the choice between a sweet dessert and another steak, I would have taken the steak even when I was a junk-guzzling fatty.

I never asked anyone to do any special stuff for me after the first few weeks. Someone serves you pasta alfredo? Eat it; one meal isn't the end of the world. Unless your social schedule is very different from most, you're not going to eat at someone else's house more than once a week, and restaurants (at least in the US) can be counted on to have a chicken Caesar salad if nothing else.

Congress could have issued a law in the last 40 years —- where there were opportunities for both political parties —- clarifying this if the legislative branch disagreed.

Technically, people vary so much we can't even tell you your needs. E.g. the RDA is sth like a 2 sigma excess. It's not enough for 4% or so of ppl.

And even if we could know out needs from day to day, the food varies quite a bit, by varietal, location and season.

There's still more wiggle room, bc if we get excesses or shortages, our responses may vary unpredictably. With extra calories, we might suddenly decide to clean the garage.

We are not precise machines in a precise environment. Our sexual reproduction and mutations -and that of our food- constantly reshuffle the deck, guaranteeing we can only make broad predictions.

The best we can do is accumulate knowledge, observe and create feedback.

Completely different.

Alcohol works on the GABA receptors, just like common sleeping/anxiety/panic pills, the benzodiazepines and benzo-like medication/drugs.

Yes.

For example, take a look at this LoRA which is one of my favorites: https://civitai.com/models/259627/bad-quality-lora-or-sdxl

This, along with a proper model and when prompted properly, will give you photos of people who actually look like real people.

The NRC (and most other regulatory bodies) predate Chevron deference, so you should count on them sticking around and still doing their thing. A nuclear startup could try taking them to court to circumvent all their rules and build naked nuclear piles in residential neighborhoods or something, but even if they got a federal judge to go along with that, it should be an easy political win for legislators to smack it down with some new more specific laws.

And although the regulatory interpretation of those laws could also be challenged in court, successfully doing so shouldn't be considered a given. Judges generally do have some sense you know, as a class they decide important matters in boring uncontroversial ways across the country every days. The controversial outcomes that make news cycles are newsworthy specifically because they're unusual.

Express is like making a sandwich by buying bread, meat, and condiments from the super market. NextJS is like buying a sandwich from a vending machine.

The biggest issue with apps like NextJS is that they didn't explicitly build upon and expose the Express API. What they should have done is client-side app routing with a version of Express that runs route handlers in the browser. They also needed to add parallel middleware that runs in both a browser and server context. That's the only sane way to support functionality and components that run in both the server and browser context.

The entire NextJS architecture is flawed because they picked the wrong pivot point.

We want to be making sandwiches from store-bought components. Sometimes we do need to swap out the bread and NextJS has the wrong abstractions to do so which results in all sorts of soon-to-be-breaking-changes-spaghetti to work-around the deficiencies.

It would have been much better to maintain an application by working directly with requests, request middleware and request route handlers, with a mock request corresponding to mouse events for the client-side.

The request-response cycle is the fundamental nature of the web application, even in the browser.
Just be hungry dude. It's not hard. I notice I'm much more productive while I'm hungry. Also food is so much better when you have been actually hungry for a while.

Also because models in photographs are symetrical, emotionless, softly-lit, and have perfect skin imperfections. Things like age lines, wrinkles, scars, emotional expression, deep shadows and asymetry require actual understanding of human anatomy to draw convincingly.
I think SolidStart framework brings Svelte's and React's strong points together very well. I'm really interested in how it grows, I can say that it has a brighter future than Next or Sveltekit.
Several others have mentioned that after cutting back on sugar, many foods taste overly sweet, but they're probably still eating way more than you do when you're on Keto.

When I stopped Keto, entire categories of food become intolerably sweet. It was at least a year or two before I could eat a burger. They're basically a meat cake!
Why would I care about rich people problems that try to get ahead without paying others they use to get ahead?

Laws are never the same for the rich and the poor. And if they are to differ then it's the better direction for them to differ.

For economic reasons unrelated to what was going on in the legal system. But the mid-20th century also saw a gutting of the constitutional system the founders had created, and replacement thereof with an unelected administrative state.

> When I returned from my trip, my fridge was empty, so I resisted the temptation to buy those products.

This has to be my reality. If I buy treats, no matter how good my intentions are to make them last, they just don't survive in the cupboard more than a couple of days. I have to leave my kitchen mostly empty apart from: diet soda, meat, cheese, yoghurt, peanut butter. Everything else is just too addictive and I keep eating it until it's gone. I do have other stuff, but have to buy it as and when I need it in a quantity that will only last one meal.

One suggestion I can give if you like chocolate is to buy some 90% or 95% chocolate. It's hard to eat more than one piece at a time without your mouth feeling quite dry, and a 100g bar can easily last a week. After a while, if you have anything else, even 80%, it'll taste really sweet. But it only take a bar or two of the really easy to eat sweet variety before you'll be hooked on it again.

It is even more important to note that the relationship between Companies and Regulators is not always confrontational. Our interests align more often than not (anecdote below). However, regulators occasionally overstep, and this decision allows Companies to challenge such oversteps.

I once ran a chemical plant and we partnered with the state to reduce emissions to single-digit parts per billion levels (from parts per million). They were completely aware that this was a difficult problem to solve, expensive, and technically challenging. They worked with us to get this done in a space of a couple of years, and we quickly reached a point where we could proudly state that we made a difference to my employees and our surrounding community.

When you don't have to pay for something it is easy to ask for more, and an agency led by a partisan could easily do so. Having the ability to challenge this allows us to push back in a structured way.

So this is surprisingly bleeding edge, at least to me. I had to go learn about some hardware and physical imaging stuff I didn’t know to get my head around it.

Upshot: Event Cameras are a different sort of camera in that they have an array of sensor pixels, and sensors only fire when there is a brightness change for that sensor. This has a bunch of benefits, including very high dynamic range, reduced ghosting, and high frame rates, and has some downsides, like reconstructing video, and presumably others.

The paper seems to have started out with the idea that if you had event camera output, you’d be able to reconstruct more fine texture details. And, this works incredibly well, their baby model trained for 8 days significantly beats SOTA and looks a lot better in comparisons as well.

They then seem to have added a step where you simulate/infer event camera data from “normal” RGB video, using a different set of networks, and use that inferred event data to do the texture recovery, and … this also works.

Pretty surprising, and interesting. Their GitHub is full of people like “I want to try this” and then realizing it’s a fairly deep stack to deploy. Even as is, it seems worth someone building a GUI around this in an app, it’s quite remarkable.
What do you need Ghidra for?

Ghidra is, for the most part, not a hex editor. It’s meant for reverse engineering - mainly decompilation, but it’s useful for patching as well. The debugger is new and takes some getting used to (I’m still using GDB + Ghidra), but the disassembler and decompiler are top-notch.

Your assertion that Microsoft allows everyone to use Windows for free is false. What you care or not care about is irrelevant in this context. I have no clue why you brought it up.

Now if you wish to assert that Microsoft allows peons to use Windows for free, as long as it is convenient for them, I can agree with that. They're still a bunch of hypocrites.

Allowing Microsoft to selectively apply the law as it benefits them is not a good thing, you're confused.

Hi Matthew, Cloudflare just charged my card $235 with no prior warning (for a service I intended to cancel when I received the renewal reminder). I did not receive any renewal reminders, no advance notice of payment, no invoice. Nothing.

Is this normal operating behaviour for Cloudflare? This seems like very very bad anti-consumer behaviour?

Don't get why you get into such criticism, the author did not compare sugar to heroin, he made an example of something indeed more dangerous and even more addicting that had a great benefit from the change of environment and stated he worked for him too.
Yes, I hear that argument whenever anyone says anything about more than one person. I don't care much for that argument because it basically denies that culture exists by saying "different people have different preferences". Sure, they do, but also it's clearly true to say "the US culture is against regulation" and "the EU culture is for regulation".

Plus, I don't even think it's that hard to find people who dislike regulation but also dislike people copying their intellectual property (for example, every single company ever).
> You can’t rent a car without a credit card.

These are always the first things people say when I tell them I don't have a credit card. Far as I can tell they're both completely false, at least as of recent history. I rent cars and book hotel rooms on my plain old debit card all the time.
I've done an enormous amount of web performance analysis work, and as soon as I see the nextjs bundle come down in the network tools I know there will be issues.

It just seems exceptionally slow to another stack I've seen. Whether this is poor docs or bad implementations, I'm not entirely sure, but it seems there is a major issue with it - I do not see in my analysis any other stack having anywhere the amount of issues that nextjs does.

The main problems I find are exceptionally poor TTFB on their server side rendering. This then pushes people to do aggressive caching of various types (without often fully understanding the ramifications of cache management) - which improves things, until a user is eg logged in then you're back to square one a lot of the time.

The second problem is slow hydration times, regardless of SSR/caching. This causes major waterfall problems for interactivity as the nextjs bundle still needs to hydrate before most (any?) interactivity is possible.

While all SPA-esque frameworks suffer with this kind of stuff, nextjs just seems to take it to the next level and it often does not seem trivial to fix when I report the issues.
We need to rebrand chatgpt and this generation of AI as "the Internet (tm)."

What is a “skewed court?” We had a Democrat-majority court for decades after FDR won a series of key elections. We now have a Republican majority court because of Reagan, Bush, and Trump. Biden’s recent implosion will likely cement the 6-3 majority for some time.

Democrat-appointees made huge changes to the constitution when we had a “skewed” court going the other way. I think those decisions were terribly wrong as a legal matter, but what’s dangerous is the effort to make it seem like they were illegitimate through the rhetoric that’s being spewed these days.
So we finally have the magical "Enhance" button from sci-fi detective movies and shows, nice!

> and things are very broken pretty much 100% of the time, or it'll suddenly break when something auto updates. It's also, just obnoxious to use: popups, distractions that never go away, settings are in a schema-less json, and a completely incoherent user experience when you do something as minor as switch plugins

That’s… extremely far from my experience with VSCode, are you sure you’re even talking about VSCode?

I’ve literally never had anything break after an update, not even a plugin. Not saying it doesn’t happen, because it definitely does (every version is followed by 1 or 2 patches in the following days), but it’s usually about pretty niche breakages.

All popups and toasters have a cog wheel on the top right that let you tell them to never show up, if you wish. And to be fair, there are very few, the only ones that come to mind are "oh I know this file type; do you want to install the appropriate extension?", which is honestly a welcome hint (that you can disable globally if you don’t like it).

What you call "distractions that never go away" I’m not sure, because almost everything in the UI can be hidden. What do you think count as a distraction?

Regarding the settings, it’s plain wrong. The settings have had a visual editing interface for years, and the underlying JSON is definitely typed. If you add a key that doesn’t exist, it’ll be greyed out. Invalid values have a red squiggle.

I have no idea what you mean with "incoherent user experience depending on plugins", specifically because the extension API doesn’t let extensions do incoherent stuff.
ICUs are amazing technology. You can keep almost anyone in a temporary state of stasis. This is great for people who have a condition that just needs more time to heal (like a lot of people with Covid, or people after car accidents). But for people who have something unrecoverable, it’s a very weird place to be. You’ve been pushed off the ledge and are now frozen in midair. You will hit the ground when the magic is removed, but you also can’t stay frozen forever.
Useless anecdote: I don't have direct experience with Next.js[1] (but React, Angular, Vue, Solid), but I did help a co-worker out with something in their Next.js app, and as soon as I saw the madness that was file-based routing I wrote off the whole thing.

[1]: mostly because I have never been interested in the modern form of SSR due to my controversial belief that that is a truly _insane_ solution to SEO, TTFB and page load performance. You don't really solve a problem by piling more problems on top, however many billion man-hours a whole industry spends on that endeavor.
