Yes, the #. reader macro is one of the ways how you can achieve this in Common Lisp. Using the reader macro is also way more efficient because you don't awkwardly use your compiler as an interpreter for a weird subset of your actual language - you simply call to compiled code.

Seeing Greenspun's tenth rule [1] in action again and again is one of the weird things we Common Lisp programmers have to endure. I wish we would have more discussions on how to improve Lisp even further instead of trying to 'fix' C or C++ for the umpteenth time.

The tax is at most $0.31 per sugary drink (18 or 24 pence depending on sugar content) and it only applies to beverages. Impressive if such a small and niche tax had that big of an impact. I imagine the raised awareness caused by passing the law did as much as the tax itself.

I spent some time in Mexico and all of the packaged foods have a big warning if they're too sugar-heavy. It instantly changed my shopping habits because it made me question foods I had taken for granted. I'd argue that's a better use of government power than a tax. The former approach requires business to bend to the public will, while the latter manipulates the public at their own expense.
That's precisely why healthcare shouldn't be taxpayer funded. It's a total outage.

There needs to be a separation of concerns, and do I really need to give a history lesson why taxing the disadvantaged is not a long term solution? History must repeat, but almost always from ignorance, huh?
i'm certain it's neither, what actually happened was basically all popular drinks in the entirety of the UK except for coca cola and pepsi (which cost more) just stopped selling non-diet versions of their drinks to avoid the tax, it's not that people are choosing to avoid sugar, they literally just can't buy it.

This makes sense but the problem I had with duckdb + parquet is it looks like there is no metadata caching so each and every query triggers a lot of requests.

Duckdb can query a remote duckdb database too, in that case it looks like there is caching. Which might be better.

I wonder if anyone actually worked on a specific file format for this use case (relatively high latency random access) to minimize reads to as little blocks as possible.
Wow this is psychotic even for a HN comment.
MicroPython supports interrupts. But on some platform, like ESP32, the callback is scheduled. Preemption is still used, but it adds some microseconds and the delay is a bit variable. So it will work for some things, like reacting to a interrupt from an I2C sensor etc, or button push. But probably not good enough for a high speed protocol (so better use peripherals for that, like RMT in ESP32).

The Fuchsia team is working on a Linux compatibility-layer, named Starnix[1], which is much like WINE on Linux. This would allow Linux applications to run on Fuchsia as-if they were running on a Linux kernel. A massive amount of work, but less work than adapting every single existing application to run on Fuchsia.

Back in 2022, there were signs[2] that Google was working on testing the Android Runtime (ART) on top of Starnix, by trying to get the clock app running on top of it. Most of this work has been done in private though, the tracking-issues mentioned in the article were quickly set to private after they were found.

If you mean that LM-head is just inverted embedding matrix then this was already done in GPT-2.

Unfortunately, the only thing I found out about this is that bigger models benefit from separate layer. But this was only mentioned somewhere in discord, so no paper to read and my personal hunch is that it should work for bigger models too. After all, GPT-3 was just scaled GPT-2.

From my personal experiments, models learn better if you give them harder task. And tied weights could be one of such things. Multi-token prediction could be another and bitnet could be also considered such... (and dropout too)
> The post you're replying to is describing a straightforward implementation of the strangler pattern.

I'm not sure you are aware the strangler pattern is completely irrelevant to the problem of shutting down old versions of APIs still in use, specially when the goal is to shed maintenance needs.

Just because you are confident you can serve the same requests through an adapter, that does not mean you have less code to maintain and less work to do. Quite the opposite. And now your services also have to deal with more constraints as you're now bounded to comply with far more scenarios, some conflicting, from the same code base.

Talking about strangler fig patterns makes as much sense as blabbering about interfaces and dependency injection when talking about deleting old code. Irrelevant.
Think about how you’d actually implement that policy. It’d be political suicide. I can see the ‘literally killing children’ headlines already. No law can change anything if it can’t make it through the Commons.

Humans eat sugars for thousands of years now (and honey since millions of years), but random sweeteners are new.

I'd say let's not pretend that any map made by splashing paint on a paper is the terrain, and go full retard based on that.
I don't think it is a blunt instrument, in fact I'd say the complete opposite. It's been a nudge of industry in a direction that's better for society, in a way that keeps that playing field level for different manufacturers, reduced their overall tax burden and not cost consumers anything. All this while avoiding any harsh ban, you can still buy high sugar drinks if you wish.
It probably shifted consumption to artificially sweetened soda, right?
Depending on the person they can be worse since sugar alcohols tend to cause digestive issues whereas sugar doesn’t.

Correlation. The article notes sugar consumption was dropping for over a decade before the tax. It is also dropping over the same period in comparable non-tax countries.

Explore the website for a blend of technology and artistry, enabling users to create tattoos that truly reflect their individuality.
Or it will destroy sales. One "store-brand" energy drink did this move and it destroyed the sales so badly they bought full-sugar version back.

Still, it seems in general things are moving to this direction as only normal drink I see on fountains is now Coca-Cola...

Please do make your best argument for why taxing horribly unhealthy junk foods will actually harm poor people more than it helps. No sense holding back and merely threatening to make that argument. Do you figure that expensive cola will cause famine or something? I'm eager to know.

It did three things:

- cans of sugary drinks got smaller, to avoid the limit that was taxed, so some people bought cans with less sugar in

- some people bought more artifically sweetened drinks

- some people paid more for the same amount of sugar
> And voila! Just like that, you now have 2 systems to maintain, support and debug.

It's even worse, the "new" system is a layered mess where logic is spread across multiple systems and services, and is bound to accommodate all the original scenarios and ensure new changes remain compatible across multiple versions.

It's a far worse situation than keeping the old APIs in. It's a proposed solution from someone who clearly did not even read the problem statement.

I know lots of people, loved ones included who are utterly addicted to sugar-free soft drinks they will not even touch the "full fat" versions.

There are no nutrients there and they appear more addictive, which is why I suspect the industry was so accommodating in moving away from sugar
Unhealthy food is allready way more expansive than cooking your own. I guess the main culprit is lack of energy and time to cook, not the price.
The overuse of emphasization (heavy phrases, all caps, underline, bold, italic, exclamations, COMBINED!! :) ) for the sometimes later coming clear statement of facts (not needing emphasis because speak for themselves) is an irritating read. Aggrevated by tangential updates in prime location of the start (instead of end) derailing attention right before started. Educationally the style is very obstuctive. But pretty useful writing still after pushing ourselves through, even after decades of thousand articles into this topic.

Reading the source code is an essential skill for software engineers to advance, but the current way of reading source code through IDEs can be extremely painful. Everyone recognizes single lines of code, and basic syntax doesn't usually pose a significant obstacle. However, when it comes to reading a mature or open-source project, it often becomes a daunting task.

GE says over its lifetime (roughly 13 years) an MRI machine will use about 1e4 litres of liquid helium. Two thousand litres is a good estimate for the capacity of a machine, but it's not a useful figure unless you know how often you need to replenish it.
Do you oppose tobacco tax - nicotine and tobacco smoke being considered almost universally bad - on the same grounds, or is sugar different?
That's not the main problem. The main problem is hydrogen is fucking painful to contain.
Not exactly. There's no "compile time" or whatever. The point is that the computational complexity characterizes the difficulty of mapping an input to an output. Sorting a list can be done with lots of different algorithms; the obvious ones are O(n^2). But there exist O(n log n) algorithms, so the complexity of sorting is O(n log n) irrespective of whatever implementation you might imagine. That O(n log n) is true now and for all time.
They have not eaten any artificial sweeteners for more than a few tens of years.
There's one thing that is may be, well, shitty. Do you drink your iced coffee that makes you want poop always around the same time? .. because, our guts are a brain for themselves. It can be trained to "empty" at certain times of the day. May be you trained your guts to empty at certain times (when you get to your iced coffee) with a very strong argument (the iced coffee) unintentionally?

Then, you need to eat more of things that have more dietary fibers.

And then, it takes some time. I would try to make a sugar free diet and reduce sugar and fruit sugar wherever is possible - also it's replacements, artificial sugars. Better drink water with just a drop of Sirup or water mixed fruit juice instead of a coke/sprite/gatorade... Better not that pastries.. prefer less sugar.

Sugar is actually "bad" for our guts bacteria composition. Reduce it for half a year and see the effects.

And then, you may start to train your gut by just sitting on the toilet - but, put a small footstool beneath your feet. That simulates the most natural way of sitting down for a shit in the wild. Relax.

This! 100%. Emphasis - codebase documentation. Not user guides.

After doing this a couple times, it's a no brainer. The benefits are significant, the effort minimal. Just add a docs dir at the project root and go to town.

The docs dir has some very interesting stuff - how to run parts of the api locally, tricks to make auth bearable for local development, commands that get new team members going at hyperspeed, what parts talk to what parts, which files are important for what flows, why some refactoring was attempted but abandoned, high level limitations and benchmarks, history on how some monstrosity came to be with some jokes sprinkled about.

everything just one cmd+shift+f away.
QBism: The New Theory That Shatters Our View of Reality [video]
Was sugar consumption halving every year for over a decade? Whatever the mechanism (seemingly up for debate), a halving post-tax is an outsized change.
And yet many alcoholic products are full of sugar and a majority of adults all around the world are alcoholics.

I'm not disagreeing we have problems, but my original question was why the solution is a tax. It's very clear who that benefits and it's also very clear those same people control marketing and education. This is insanity.
Supreme Court refuses to hear bite mark case
A long time ago (2011) when I was teaching the networking course at Brown, the final assignment in the course was to create the equivalent of iodine, IP-over-DNS tunneling [1]. Being a course assignment, the handout only outlines the solution. We provided a set of domain names and DNS servers on VMs for students to use.

After the course ended, one student going home did manage to use his assignment to get Internet access from the airport, as we had forgotten to turn off the DNS server nodes.

Over the years we had a lot of fun with creative final projects in the course besides IP-over-DNS, including web-based phone tethering, DNS spoofing, openflow-based SDN routing, LT (Erasure) Coding, a BitTorrent client, and a DNS-redirection-based CDN with leaderboard.

>I assume that I would get my ass kicked legally speaking.

Why? This is no different than copy pasting and modifying a bit of code from some documentation/other project/tutorial/SO. Surely if that were a basis for copyright infringement most semi-large software projects would be infringing on copyright.

I don't think anyone here should be willing to open the can if worms that is copy pasting small snippets of code and modifying them.

The judge seems to argue that the non-identical copies are at issue here and that they only happen under contrived circumstances. My moral opinion is that this is irrelevant and that even the defendant is the wrong person. Even verbatim copies of code snippets shouldn't be copyright infringement and suing the company providing the AI is wrong to begin with, as the AI or its providercan not possibly be the one to infringe.

Gymbros are wrong. The hypefocus on effectivity is what stands in the way of healthy lifelong exercising. If your whole exercise regime is based on discipline, it will fail entirely the moment you have other stressors in the life. Because then it becomes obstacle to what you need rather then something that helps you be happy.

Gymbros are gymbros because gym is their priority 1, over everything else. They are already motivated. You know who used to actually end up exercising regularly? Guys who would meet for soccer game regularly so that they meet friends. And people who actually like the sport they do.
ok, the author lost me at: "My first choice would have been a Mitsubishi i-MiEV ... Shame, because it is a much cooler car than a Nissan Leaf."

wow, this is a different country: "1600 kg! ... being about 2x as big and heavy as necessary." [i really butchered these quotes, fyi, not trying to do it dishonestly but to focus on these statements]. to me the leaf is a tiny little car. 1600kg is like 3500 lbs - not big or heavy at all to me.

Ioniq 5 is 4850 lbs or so. model 3 and y are almost identical in weight/range/etc.

the leaf is a very cool niche car in a way - but it's a "city car". something 1/2 step up from a golf cart. but, used, actually cheaper in most cases.
