This idea that plants are toxic and meat is healthy is absurd in the extreme. Historical evidence shows humans at mostly a plant based diet for most of our evolution. And the various large and strong herbivores are completely contradictory to your thesis. It's similar to flat-earth in how easy it is to debunk.

> What works and makes sense to one group of people might not work or make sense to another group of people. I find that more literal-minded people are frustrated by what they see as unnecessary abstraction and are fine with duplicated code whereas people who think in abstractions have no problem seeing the bigger picture and are proponents of abstractions when the abstractions make sense to them.

I don't agree. I don't think this is an issue of having different points of view. It is an issue of being oblivious to constraints that result in this specific configuration.

If they do not understand the problem, they don't understand the solution either.

No one adds abstractions and interfaces because they like complexity. In layered architectures, interfaces and abstraction layers are used extensively to manage dependency relationships.

Take for example dependency inversion. Dependency inversion is used extensively to ensure that inner layers, the modules which should change less frequently, do not depend on implementation details implemented by outer layers. Your inner layers need to get data from other services, save data in a data store, etc. But you should not need to change your inner layers just because you need to call a service. Consequently, you eliminate these dependencies on external services by having your inner layers provide the necessary and sufficient interfaces they require to handle external data, and then have the external services implement these interfaces provided by internal services. This can be interpreted as an unnecessary layer of abstraction if you do not have a clue about what's happening. I mean, your inner layers could simply call a database, but instead they have an interface that's implemented God knows where, and then you need to hunt down how it's used. Except this abstraction layer is of critical importance.
The best bit: They recursively reference the paper to provide proof that too many parents choose the same common names:

I wouldn't endorse many of the things stated there. A lot of the points are inaccurate or straight up misleading.

> The three main goals of your accounting system are to be (1) Accurate, (2) Auditable and (3) Timely.

You forgot "consistent", which is very different from "accurate". Most financial transactions have multiple time dimensions: a trade is requested, booked, filled, matched, reconciliated, paid, settled at different times. These times often don't even follow a perfectly logical order (you can request and fill a trade and book it an hour later). These time dimensions are often why there are multiple, layered, ledgers to store transactions. An accounting system needs to provide consistent views that depend on the dimension you want to look at (e.g. a trade that is filled but not settled counts for front office accounting, not for back office accounting).

> If there is an event that occurred but is not in the financial record, than the system is not complete.

The base assumption of every (working) accounting system I have worked with is the reverse. There WILL be transactions that flow through the system in an untimely manner, your system needs to handle that, thus the need for multiple layers of ledgers, and the necessity to batch reconciliation processes between these layers.

You will book trades after they are filled. You will pay materials before inputing the bill. Etc.

> If you are only working with dollars, representing values in cents might be sufficient. If you are a global business, prefer micros or a DECIMAL(19, 4).

If you are a global business only working with euro and dollar maybe. Otherwise most FX markets quote to 8 decimals, and that's not counting swaps. I would recommend using at least 8 decimal places for storage.

> Delay currency conversion as long as you can. Preemptively converting currencies can cause loss of precision.

No! Delay currency conversion _until conversion occurs_! An accounting system does not convert currencies at will. There is no dollar equivalent to euro, you either have dollars or euro. And it's not a matter of rounding errors, cash management is part of legal and accounting duties.

Ellie Phillips has this triple mouthwash system, in her book "Kiss your dentist goodbye". Apparently she hasn't had her teeth cleaned in 40 years. I have been using it and it seems to work, in that my dentist says I have the best teeth out of all his patients despite me brushing my teeth maybe once a week. The motivation for the mouthwash is simply that mechanical brushing isn't sufficient to kill the bacteria, whereas mouthwash is if you can disrupt all of the biofilms. And then the other two mouthwashes are for pH and fluoride.

It didn’t completely solve it for me, but 10,000 IU of Viyamin D3 early in the morning and making sure I get >100gr of protein per day made a huge difference for me after nothing else did (have tried most on your list).

Being a vegetarian, the 100gr of protein doesn’t happen on its own, the way it does for many carnivores. I have to pay attention to it, or I end up with 30-50 which isn’t sufficient.

That’s why I believe switching to permanent summer time would be a big mistake and would make kids suffer a lot more than they already do.

Summer time in winter would mean getting up 1h earlier, in most locations.

EDIT: for those questioning the effect, because “school would still start at the same time (7:45 am)”.

Imagine if we didn’t change 1 hour but instead 12h, and then still says: “why don’t get up? My clock says it’s 7 am!”

I'm not a morning person either, although by afternoon I'm fully functional.

I recall when I was younger trying to adopt a "early bird gets the worm" routine. Went to sleep at 9 PM, woke up at 5 AM, drank a coffee, went out in the chill of the morning for a vigorous jog, came back into the apartment, drank another coffee ... then went back to bed and slept like a baby until around 9. Going back on the memory lane, school was a nightmare. With it's start at 8 AM and wake up at 6:30, I mostly spent it in a tormented fuzzy stupor.

Now I kinda accepted there's literally nothing I can do to wake up my brain "on the double". Thanks God for WFH, sleep till 9, start work at 10, I'm almost functional. By noon it's all engines running.
What's wrong with these people? If the NSA cannot 'decode' a 1" videotape from the 1980s then heaven help us. 1" videotapes are comparatively modern by videotape standards.

A lot of drone autopilots will use commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) chips and software. Imagine an exploit for a common example program or for a library in a common development environment.

A state actor could build a database of ways to profile and exploit those chips and software.

Imagine hacking a drone and ordering it to return to home and drop its payload there.

We may see firewalls on drones soon, or watchdog timers that trigger a second microcontroller to take iver when the primary is hacked.

Good summary but the article doesn't mention the engineering of the user interface. In this field of accountancy, I think the UI is an engineering problem at least as important as anything else mentioned in the article.

As someone who works in accountancy (as a bookkeeper/accountant) I have to be brutally honest and say that I've been very disappointed in the UI of all the accounting software packages I've used. None of them give me the immediacy or simplicity of a well organised filing cabinet, they really don't.

I'm not sure what a good solution would look like, but I can't help thinking that making the double-entry system more visible and apparent to the user would be a good start.
That’s still not severely limited and that definition is idiotic. That’s like saying the copper market is severely limited just because all of the supply eventually clears at some price.

It’s all being used because there is enough farmland and sun to absorb it. Cut out the farming and the remaining usage could easily grow several hundred percent.

People grow absolutely ridiculous shit in southwest Arizona because water is so cheap and is not “severely limited” by any notional definition of the term.

The only context in which it looks that way is to people coming from locations that are inundated with water but are land/weather limited.

If you want to see what “severely limited” water looks like. Take a look at Israel.

As long as people can pay $100 for 10,000 gallons of water to fill a pool, there is no severe limit.
> 3-4 BETAs

Irrelevant, but why is "BETAs" capitalised?
Which part is simply not true?

The lack of persistence is one of the main design points.

If you're saying it's collection, that gets complicated because that data has to be there for the server to work at all.
If you are only doing accounting (and not like high frequency trading), you can even consider using arbitrary precision rational numbers internally. They are most likely fast enough.

However, similar to what you suggested about currency conversion, your business logic might already dictate to you exactly what kind of precision and rounding rules you should be using; and deviating from that might cause havoc.
Unless you build your own data center and run your own fiber, you’re at the mercy of someone else’s policies and could be shutdown at their whim.

How much longer are you people going to keep beating this dead horse? Sugar consumption has been in secular decline since 2000: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38094768

People are eating about as much sugar per capita now as they were in the early 70s, yet they're fatter and more diabetic than ever, even than when they were consuming significantly more sugar 24 years ago. A tax on added fats (oils, butter, lard) and excessive sodium makes much more sense, but good luck getting such a measure enacted given how effective the propaganda from Big Fat (the dairy and beef industries and people promoting high-fat diets like keto and Atkins) has been.

I don't know about Lumi specifically, but top tier scientific supercomputers should typically have 80+% utilisation rate:

https://doku.lrz.de/usage-statistics-for-supermuc-ng-1148309...

Smaller machines will tend lower from what i have seen. If you give a large enough pool of scientists access to significant compute resources, they will generally figure out how to saturate them. Also, scientific teams often can't pay top software engineers. Lots of hardware is a way to compensate for inefficient code. If Lumi is underutilized to such an extent someone is funking up.

There is of course no commercial use case for these computers. That's not the point of these machines.

A mental instruction set would be extremely interesting. Unfortunately, nobody has that level of understanding of brain processes (and it might be quite difficult to formulate in such a linear way since the underlying mechanism is so very parallel), but the idea that human cognition is computable falls pretty naturally out of the idea that nature is computable which I think is a common position (sometimes called the Church Turing Deutsch principle).
> Yes, but training is the most expensive part of ML, for example GPT-3 is estimated to cost something like 1-4 million USD.

That entirely depends on how many inferences the model will perform during its lifecycle.

Assuming an electricity price of $0.165 per kWh, that would put you at roughly $80,000 to a $160,000 a day.

Even at the lower end of $80,000 a day, you'll reach your $4 Million in just 50 days.

> In summary: our modern computer's sheer power are camouflaging poor software performance

I somewhat disagree. Features sell the product, not performance[1], and for most of the software development you could count on the rising CPU tide to lift all poorly performing apps. But now the tides have turned to drought and optimizing makes a hell of a lot of sense.

[1] They are more of a negative sell and relative to other feature parity products. No one left Adobe Photoshop for Paint, no matter how much faster Paint was. But you could if feature parity is closer, e.g. Affine vs Photoshop.*
