This might sound trite, but are your parents "replaceable"? Even in a strict mechanistic sense, even a "baseline" parent possesses innumerable qualities that we have absolutely no clue how to build in a robot. They have a well-tuned cost function that keeps them or anything else from killing the baby; they come to learn the child well enough to understand what they're thinking, to correct them & guide them; they themselves are reliable enough to broadly survive until the child reaches adulthood (can you imagine swapping out your robot parents every iPhone generation?). Even their fine motor skills alone are far beyond what we today understand how to build (to cradle, feed, wash, &c).

And that's not the only thing, just a convenient example of how the worldview you present -- one where the only value someone can provide is that which can be extracted by the owning class via their "job" -- is not only unkind but also incoherent. I don't even know what you mean by "deserve" or "earned": yes, none of us did anything to gain the attributes that we were born with, but so what? We are who we are, and who we are is defined in scope by who we were born to be. We are all given options and choose between them day by day. But nobody -- no thing -- chooses which options they are given.
So basically some drugs encourage the metabolism of people who need a CPAP to lose weight, possibly tied to brown adipose tissue.

It works in mice and probably works in humans but was not the main focus of the study so they didn't have a good control group to be able to prove it.
I'm not a curry connoisseur, so might be missing some nuance, but it's the one food that I thought was actually decent outside Japan. I thought the katsu in Korea, Taiwan, and China were all good enough, and always liked Muracci's in SF.

If I'm in Japan for a week it's all sushi, ramen, soba, and yakiniku. There's no time for curry!

`db.transact` returns a promise. It 'resolves' when the transaction is guaranteed by the server, or if you are offline, if it's been enqueued. I'll note to include some information about this in the docs, thank you.
still good reasons to choose IS-IS for greenfield :) hell, they took IS-IS and did TRILL with it for DC (rip TRILL).

but yeah, I saw one piece of SONET crap hanging off a ctunnel that spoke CLNP back in maybe 2012 or 2013? haven't seen much of it, but still learned the ctunnel stuff back in '09 because it still could occasionally rear its head.
Why? I'm much better at writing code than describing that code in plain English. That's why programming languages exist.

Eh, I lived in Japan for 2 years, and I don't rate the curry there that highly. You can find good curry, sure, and I have my favourite places, but the baseline isn't that high. People forget Japan has basically been in a recession or depression for literally 30 years. When I think of mainstream food there, what I usually think of is "made down to a price".

I'm gonna stake a claim and say that if you go and buy a pack of golden curry medium, cut up a decent bit of rump steak, add a couple of carrots, potatoes and onions, boil the shit out of all that then mix in the curry, serve on fresh cooked rice with a handful of shredded cheddar - you're having a pretty damn good curry which will be hard to beat no matter where you go.

I'll also go out on a limb and claim that the baseline Japanese cuisine in cities with a decent size diaspora - think LA, Sydney, Bangkok - is better than in Tokyo. You have enough locals to support a lot of restaurants, and they enforce an authentic taste because they know what it should taste like, and they have more money. Your average plate will cost more, but everything in it, and the final result, is better quality.
They'll get sold to big tech, the paying customers and monthly cost higher than Github Copilot are just evidence of value.

I'm not really talking about the electricity we (global 'we') are generating right now, because we're still talking about curtailing our usage of it so it's obviously not enough. I'm talking more about electricity we could be generating in future so that demand is met - that should, and can be from clean sources like solar, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, wind etc.

Efficiency should be an implicit goal with everything, but that's only ever going to blunt the demand not stop it entirely. We still need massive growth in generation in the coming decades, or we have to accept that the pace of everything is going to slow down.

“Authentic” katsu curry is made from S&B Oriental Curry powder and an handful of ingredients (garlic, ginger, stock, etc…) And just buying S&B Golden curry is pretty good, better than some places in SF even.

Of course, everything tastes better after a 12 hours on a plane.

My favorite is volcano curry in SF. My go-to was pork with calamari but the stopped the calamari at some point. They have fried oysters though so I throw those on.

The most annoying thing about good katsu is when the cutlet is obviously unsalted.
I don't think the title of the post is accurate, at least not based on the link.

> Here, we present data from a proof-of-concept study on 30 individuals with obstructive sleep apnea and obesity who were randomized to a GLP-1 therapy-based weight loss regimen, continuous positive airway pressure, or a combination of both for 24 weeks.

They compared weight loss medication to a sleep apnea treatment and the weight loss medication group lost fat... which happens when your appetite is suppressed and you eat less - you lose some muscle and some fat, some of the fat you lose is visceral, some isn't.
I do solidly remember this from the "earlier" (200x) Gentoo days.
Automagical Social Media Follower
When you follow somebody on a social media platform, what if you had an app that followed them for you on EVERY platform?
I’ve been working on a lot of similar ideas over the years, and my current ideal stack is to:

1. Use Mobile App APIs.

2. Generate OpenAPI Arrazo Workflows.

1 ensures breakage is minimal, since mobile apps are slow upgrades and older versions are expected to keep working. 2 lets you write repeatable recipes using YAML, and that makes it quite portable to other systems.

The Arazzo spec is still quite early though, but I am hopeful of this approach.

First off: every single one of those fires was an electric scooter, not an "ebike."

https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2022/04/26/app...

Second: NYFD is one of if not the busiest fire department in the world because it's a city of nearly 9 million people. They respond to 36,500 fires a year. That means that the e-scooter fires represent 0.7% of the total number of fires they respond to.

To further put things in perspective: roughly 160 people die per day in NYC.

You are ignoring the fact that Hamas wants to bring Israel down by force, it explicitly said it would repeat October 7th. So getting back the hostages is only a part of the problem, there is the issue of existential threat to Israel. And this is all speculation anyway, who knows if Hamas would have been willing to free all hostages - why would it, it could have kept humiliating Israel right after massacring its population and released only small numbers of the hostages.

As for examples from history - we have the allies bombing of Germany, the allied reaction to September 11th, Afghanistan etc. Almost no one considers any of them 'genocidal rampages' although they all left millions of dead, we save that rhetoric only for Israel.

Depends on how easily and quickly you can touch type though. I agree with you not many people are good at speaking their thoughts in English. In fact even in the Googling era, bulk of the masses never really benefitted from it all that much as writing and composing small, atomic questions and moving upwards(Socratic method) is not something that comes naturally to a lot of people.

This is true with Programmers too. I realised that a massive chunk of programmers didn't like or even get books like The Little Schemer Which quite literally deals with this sort of a workflow.

If you are one of those people, you are specifically cursed in the AI coding era. People who can compose small atomic questions, and build upwards stand to benefit disproportionately in these times. This is a workflow you have to get used to.

On a tangent, I was watching some videos on Youtube on how to think like a Chess Grandmaster. Sure there is a lot of theory and Knowledge base they are aware of. But what stands out is they have a strong internal monologue, and in many videos they speak it aloud. Like How do I want to deal with this piece, what if I move that piece, in what angles can the opponent approach this piece. In the next few moves can X, Y, Z happen etc etc.

This is sort of thinking is called progressive thinking. It involves making the most minimal atomic change to a thing, and then building a outcome tree out of it, and then judging the best way to go about it given all the options.

This strong internal monologue is something I have seen some legendary coders have as well. Like in English.

I guess somethings you just have to learn, adapt, improve. Its a new way/workflow of working, and I find it liberating to learn new methods of working and thinking.
Of course, but only because of equally self-inflicted mismanagement. Caltrain can also be considerably slower. All the way to "okay, we are lucky this train stopped in a station and let's switch to Lyft." Exactly similar to "between 45 minutes and youll-never-get-there" for the freeway.

(If you wonder about "lucky", it's because sometimes the crew will announce an indefinite delay when parked carefully in-between stations, where you can't even get off. My latest one like that on BART. So, same caveat with BART.)
Fat and happy.
We have an internal lib for data management that’s philosophically similar to linear too. I opted for having required transactions for developer safety.

Imagine that you support the model discussed above where it’s possible to update the local store optimistically without syncing back to the db. Now you’re one missing .save() away from having everything look like it’s working in the frontend when really nothing is persisting. It’s the sort of foot gun that you might regret supporting.

Our model is slightly different in that we require the .save() on objects to create the mutation for the sync. The primary reason is that we’re syncing back to real tables in Postgres and require referential integrity etc to be maintained.

tx((db) => {
const author = new Author(db)
author.save()
article.name = “New name”
article.author = author
article.save()
}

Mutating an object outside of a transaction is a hard error. Doing the mutation in a transaction but failing to call save within the same transaction is a hard error too.
This kind of scanning is a waste of time. It does an ineffective job of reducing a very small risk. If the machines can't tell the difference between water and explosives, and we're not willing to do fallback testing, then the solution is to not use the machines. Not to ban water.
Probably because of Supabase, I think.

Well the human approach to intelligence and its tool has had approx 6 million years to improve and evolve and has created the reality we experience today, which could be really intelligent behavior or not. We don't have anything to compare it to.

Think of the size of the computers we had in the 1960's and their computing power, now you have that multiple times over on your wrist. The tools we use seem to get bigger and bigger, then smaller, then bigger until a new paradigm becomes available (e.g. quantum)

It's just weight loss.
The real take away from this article is that the Gartner hype cycle is bullshit.
PoW is bad because PoS can do the same thing with 99% less energy yet some people refuse to switch. AI is already as efficient as we know how to make it.

Energy is good because it allows people to do things they care about. As long as the externalities are internalized [1] and the energy is paid for, the rest will mostly take care of itself.

[1] they aren't of course, but that's not crypto's fault and it's not AI's fault either
I'm not sure if it's true or not, but read an article just last week that Ozempic seemed to remove most/all elasticity from skin in their face. That's a bit concerning, but unfortunately, I didn't research further to see how true that is. If it is, it would certainly explain a 'look.'
On the other hand, Japanese Kit Kat flavours are amazingly realistic
I hate to say it, but dealing with high priority incidents with a meeting invite saying "oh shit, all hands on deck" and no further information does not sound healthy. The organisation should have a proper incident response plan in place setting out communication standards and channels.

Colin Bryar on the Practice of Amazon's Weekly Business Review
The act of losing weight necessitates reduction of the mass of triglyceride stored in fat cells, so this sounds like a "duh", but whether it accelerates it through activating beneficial pathways is another matter. (E.g., how similar is a GLP-1 agonist to say diet alone or diet+exercise?)

There are many GLP-1 agonists approved now. Some are approved for type-2 diabetes as one trade name, and may also be approved under another trade name at a higher dosage. For example, Lixisenatide came off-patent for diabetes in 2020 but it doesn't have an obesity formulation in the US. The various GLP-1 agonists have slightly different risk profiles of causing pancreatitis and/or thyroid cancers.

I don't know though maybe the freezing method (cryolipolysis) could potentially be useful for some people, but it's probably still too soon to characterize its long-term risks and other benefits.

Also, CagriSema (cagrilintide (long-acting amylin analogue) & semaglutide) is promising for obesity.

Im really interested in the implied restriction/focus on “code changes.”

IME a very very large number of impacting incidents arent strictly tied to “a” code change, if any at all. It _feels_ like theres an implied solution to tying running version back to deployment rev, to deployment artifacts, and vcs.

Boundary conditions and state changes in the distributed system were the biggest bug bear I ran in to at AWS. Then below that were all of the “infra” style failures like network faults, latency, API quota exhaustion, etc. And for all the cloudformation/cdk/terraform in the world its non trivial to really discover those effects and tie them to a “code change.” Totally ignoring older tools that may be managed via CLI or the ol’ point and click.
Internet explorer tried that 20 years ago. Allowing all kinds of errors in the html to just slip through and attempt to do something good out of it, forcing everyone else to be bug-for-bug compatible.

Also commonly referred to as the robustness principle; “be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others“. An approach that is now considered an anti-pattern, for such future compatibility reasons.
If weight return, yes. Usually, at least with men, visceral fat storage is 'filled' first, then it goes to the closest storage available (abdominal, thighs, boobs, then face. If it reach your face, you're at least medically obese).
I think it’s because you lose your buccal fat. I only notice it on people who are already fairly thin and taking Ozempic.

I don’t think your comment could be interpreted as anything other than snarky and rhetorical.

Nevertheless, it is of course very well known that efficient code in JavaScript will never run as fast as in a language such as C, but choice of language is a trade off, and in whatever language you choose you may also choose to be as “high performance” as possible within it even if it’s still not as performant than if you’d chosen a different language.

Problems with data:

- as a representation of something else, it can be incorrect (meaning error)

- as a domain of decision input, it can be misleading (sampling error)

- for questions of any significant complexity, it's the only way to scale decision-making capacity

- in an economy where actors differ in scale and information asymmetry can be leveraged to financial advantage, data gathering is incentivized even or especially when it contributes to coercive transactions, violating transaction invariants and reducing the competitive parity that disciplines the market

- it gives agents the illusion that they understand, leading to overconfident actions

How does knowledge differ from data in these respects?

- Knowledge is validated by sharing. Facts known only to one or few are not considered known.

- Knowledge can only be shared after it's embedded into overall meaning of a culture

- Knowledge can only scale to the well-understood and well-remembered past events simple enough to be comparable to other such events

Most people make personal decisions based on knowledge. A few people can make assessments/decisions based on data (though many use knowledge and justify using data). Organizations have to reduce knowledge to data to distribute authority and avoid bureaucratic capture.

People are more valuable when knowledge is more valuable, but knowledge only has an operational advantage really when value lies more in conserving states or staying small than producing new ones or going big.

Interesting, for me, it has been the opposite. You spend some time identifying the problem, meet with a few customers (if it's your own business) or have a chat with your employer. Once you get an idea of what is needed you get to work. I'd say 90% of the time is spent implementing for me.
