Advertising probably not but the simple availability of ever sweeter cheap products and with time their integration in people's diet is a strong candidate. Especially since sugar is way less good than say fat at provoking the feeling of satiation (I can think only of evolutionary explanations for that, available sweet food in the wild, think fruits, are not very nutritive, especially ones not selected by humans over time)

PHP is still the #10 programming language in the Stackoverflow survey (https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#most-popular...), above Rust, Kotlin, Ruby, Swift, Elixir, etc.

There are still a bazillion Wordpress sites that will probably be around forever. It's still more popular than Svelte, Ruby, HTMX, Remix, etc. (https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#most-popular...). And there are a ton of Drupal agencies (https://www.drupal.org/drupal-services). I went to a drupal conf a few years ago and was surprised by how many businesses still use it. (I HATE Drupal and will never touch it again, but some orgs swear by it). Lots of jobs too: https://jobs.drupal.org/ And on that survey, Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter are also PHP.

The Web has a very long tail of old, stale, boring small to medium sites. PHP won't make you rich these days and it won't get you the latest and sexiest, but it's still being maintained, still improving, still used, and you can still get jobs for it if you're OK working with legacy code for old-fashioned companies.

-----------

I don't think it's as easy to scale up though, because PHP usually requires a whole LEMP stack to serve up, unlike JS code that can run serverless in an isolate or node instance. And it doesn't have the advantage of being the same language used frontend, backend, and in-between.

I think React (or at least JSX) has largely taken over what PHP used to provide: in-HTML templating & logic. The code is just as ugly and just as unmaintainable, but it's very easy to get started with and there's a glut of low-skill, low-cost devs, just like in the PHP days. Kinda makes sense that the big PHP company (Facebook) would then go on to make React.
Yeah, it's better to use one emacs per project, and have less buffers open at a time. Not just the snappiness but a lot of the (out of the box, no special modes) keyboard buffer navigation stuff doesn't scale to hundreds of buffers. Maybe if I had better file naming conventions, but I tend to have a main.go in each cmd and sometimes even in pkg. I also rarely learn new modes/packages, as they aren't in on the VMs and so on that I also like to use emacs on.
Maybe do a README at least before posting to HN? I compile Godot daily, but have been ignoring everything but GNU/Linux as a target platform. I don't see anything particularly unique about this being for mobile besides some pretty basic joypad and screendrag stuff.
You have a weirdly narrow view of what constitutes art or craft.
I personally like the idea of a "accredited ingestor". You get a certification indicating you understand enough about drug development and associated risks and then you are allowed to decide for yourself what you are willing to take.

In general I am a big fan of FDA approval just becoming a stamp on a product like the Nintendo Seal of Approval and letting consumers and insurers decide what they make of it, but that would never fly
Huh, do you quote yourself?

Most health insurance will not cover these medications for the purpose of weight loss. Even for diabetics, many require you to go through other medications like metformin first, to show that can't help with your A1C (which it very well may, but without as much help losing weight). There are discount coupons that come and go and bring it down to like $500/mo if you have insurance that doesn't cover, but they come and go. A lot of people are definitely paying a $1k/mo for their skinny-as-a-service subscription.

That's a bummer to hear. I was thinking of signing up for a FastMail account to primarily be used via Apple Mail.
Using symbolic math requires an amount of CPU/memory which is exponential in the number of operations applied, so is often (usually) not a practical or even possible choice.

You may think signed zero is a "fundamentally dumb idea" but it has helped a lot of people to accomplish their work, so... shrug.

The basic issue is that numerical analysis is hard, and implementing numerical algorithms involves plenty of edge cases, so whoever is writing that code need to have a pretty good understanding of the problem and the tools and be willing to spend time on careful reasoning. Picking a slightly (or very) different number representation with different trade-offs doesn't really make it easier.

Even if you (somehow) had a perfect number representation with infinite resolution and nearly free operations, you'd have to be careful when implementing numerical algorithms and would have to understand how to do error analysis and have an understanding of numerical stability etc. to design new ones.
The virtue signaling part of online tech discourse is probably my biggest dissatisfaction with it these days. I hope you're using Kagi because Google is unethical oh and using Matrix because Discord is evil oh but you're using Gemini because the web is all cursed and sorry you're using Signal for your private communications right? Twitter is evil now Mastodon right? Hope you aren't using Reddit but Lemmy. "Enshittification!!"

Meanwhile the numbers show where the users actually are. I pay for YouTube, Telegram, and Nebula, self host Matrix, use and run Bluesky infrastructure, and a few other things but I'm the first to admit I'm in the minority. Not only that but it's time consuming! Meanwhile in tech discourse everyone is using Kagi for everything and "it's a breath of fresh air" or whatever.
It will be missed.

Thanks for posting this. It's helpful to read about how others deal with burnout.

Your post reminded me this quote is from a book written in Turkish by a psychologist that had a profound impact on me related to this topic:

"Every rise and ascent to a higher level represents the death of our lower personality at the level we leave behind. Then, we can gently return to that level and whisper to the ear of the actor playing that role with love, understanding, and affection, 'Yes, you are me, but I am not just you!' This way, we can end the dominion of that role in our lives. We both free it from an existence it actually hates and offer ourselves an opportunity for growth! The biggest obstacle in abandoning the role, that is, the lower personality, is not knowing the existence of a higher level - the fear that if the role goes away, we will fall into a void."
It was super ahead of it's time with all the crazy functionality and connection.. flowed together really smoothly.

I think there's a need for this kind of thing still, if you have a passion for it you should consider reimagining what kind of content could be needed in 2024.

Most insurance plans are excluding the drugs for weight loss purposes.

With a type-2 diagnosis, you can get Ozempoc, Zephound or Rybelsus covered. Wegovy, etc and off-label Ozempic is excluded by most formularies.

Some big companies and government plans are covering it however.

There is an inherent pleasure in becoming competent, and if you become competent in a profitable skill, practice, or discipline, you can make a lot of money and use it to have additional fun and pleasure. This is an important point, but it is not a cure for the chronically depressed or angry person who sees the display of tantrums as a demonstration of depth and intelligence.

It is a philosophical question: Would you rather people die due to taking a harmful compound or die due to lack of access to something that may have helped them.

Access to experimental treatments also opens up more perverse incentives where desperate people are likely to try anything.
> then the implication is that they released the mRNA vaccine because it too would increase disease (and thus avenues for profitability)

Sure, a disease that kills a patient very quickly is bad for business. Better for them to be alive and fall ill later on from a laundry list of profitable ailments.

He still should. The dispatch article has more information, this was data that has already been leaked, there is no means of protecting it anymore. The only thing to do is release

I observed Firefox sending ECH extension in ClientHello, maybe I just enabled it in the settings, so Firefox supports ECH (on by default since version 119). However, virtually no servers support ECH now. Not Google, not Hackernews, not Cloudflare etc.

This seems to be a not very good comparison, and it looks like it cherry-picks convenient for a certain browser points and ignores others. Look at "fingerprint protection", for example, and see that it does not include features that provide most fingerprinting data:

- preventing reading GPU name via WebGL debugging extension (does Brave block this?)

- preventing reading back canvas data which is used to fingerprint browser and OS code responsible for rendering graphics and text

- enumerating audio devices

And if you read the issues in Brave github [1], then you'll notice that Brave developers refuse to block features providing important fingerprinting information under compatibility" reasons (including GPU vendor and model), although these features could be made blocked only in high security mode.

So regarding fingerprinting, the comparison you refer to is pretty much worthless: it doesn't mention many important fingerprinting APIs.

You're right, I thought the confirmation wasn't till much later!
Very true. As much as we try to hope organizations might reinvent themselves or disrupt themselves for the future before something else does, they just provide a good service.

I can't wonder if AnandTech had a substack angle it might have provided an option?

Good, useful writing that teaches you how to look at, understand, use, or do something is invaluable. Creating beginners is everything in this world so they can progress.
How so?? You should have a sidebar with menu entries. Try on http://ciel-lang.org/#/libraries

oh, the sidebar disappears quickly when we scroll and it disappears when we click on "show me"… not great.
Correct, we can innovate and make the "transformer" (i.e. machines) more efficient (i.e. use less energy for same output). But the thing is, if energy was cheaper and more available we would just produce more.

The reason why now we most enjoy some time off (weekend, vacation, retirement) is thank to the machines that can produce more with less humans. Now humans mostly drive the machines.

I guess the ultimate extreme evolution would be machine driving machines, so humans could be out of the loop, except for the initial input goal. And machine would extract/mine/recycle, transform, transport, deliver everything we ever need. It would be one big machine (with lots of energy) extracting (and hopefully recycling) earth elements to satisfy humans.
If the public could be made aware of the millions of Americans who have died from FDA being so restrictive, things would change quickly.

Sugar consumption peaked in 2000 and has been in steady decline since, and not only that, but the decline has been led by a decline in HFCS consumption: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38094768

30% of the US was obese in 2000, now it's over 40%, despite per capita sugar consumption reverting to what it was pre-1975.

> The US needs, and has needed, to offset the corn subsidies that get turned into HFCS by adding a "sugar tax" at the consumer side.

If anything, we need a tax on added fat and sodium, the two biggest drivers of food hyperpalatability, when added in excess of the thresholds identified in this paper (> 25% kcal from fat and ≥ 0.30% sodium by weight):

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.22639

> The HPF criteria identified 62% (4,795/7,757) of foods in the FNDDS that met criteria for at least one cluster. Most HPF items (70%; 3,351/4,795) met criteria for the FSOD cluster. Twenty-five percent of items (1,176/4,795) met criteria for the FS cluster, and 16% (747/4,795) met criteria for the CSOD cluster. The clusters were largely distinct from each other, and < 10% of all HPF items met criteria for more than one cluster.

(CSOD, carbohydrates and sodium; FS, fat and simple sugars; FSOD, fat and sodium; HPF, hyper-palatable foods.)

Well, then I guess the CEO ought to have a look.
Today, for example, on Twitter, people are pointing out that Runway, which made a big deal out of how they were releasing DL models and not keeping them proprietary, has quietly deleted all its stuff on HuggingFace. (Much like how, say, Mistral decided that it was no longer releasing all its models, after presenting itself as the big open model champion opposed to OA.) Only a five-year-old child is either surprised or angered by this turn of events.

I agree that something like "over-typing" exists. But where it starts is imho very context dependent.

For the lowest level (e.g. an OS) you really want an extremely strict regime. Bugs are "simply not allowed"…

For application level code I think it depends. Nobody would finish anything if the requirement would be to formally verify all your code.

The other thing is: How far you can get before "over-typing" starts is also dependent on the language and how powerful it's type inference system is. Rust is quite weak in this regard.

In a language where the compiler can pass context for you one can have very strong guaranties without making working with the code too awkward. Of course, changing the code will need work. But that's the whole point of type systems: If you change something the compiler will tell you any places where something needs repair. In less strongly typed languages you can just pray that your tests are good enough to cover the changes.

In case of changes a good compiler will even rewrite the trivial cases for you if you ask, and just leave what really needs human oversight. But such automatic rewriting (with the guaranty that nothing went wrong!) works only if you had very strong types in the first place.
Or even a graduated approval scale with categories of limited liability, etc.: For example, when Vioxx and other cox-2 inhibitors were withdrawn from the market, some employees really stocked up on the reps' samples.

I used to buy magazines in the 90s that cost upwards of $6-8 a magazine each, that's $18 in today's dollars.

You want access to multiple large reporting agencies work but want to pay less than a fraction of the non-adjusted 1990s prices. Your better solution has zero way to work financially. Imagine saying 'why do I have to pay for a whole buffet, I only pick from 5-10 of the buffet dishes that I pick and choose as I walk down the line, I don't take something from all of them. I should pay like fifty cents.'
The article addresses this:

> Computer people adopted a term in use for more than half a century and brought it into the digital world. The wording in the Harvard log book—“first actual case of a bug being found”—suggests the computer programmers and engineers there were already quite familiar with the time-honored usage and were remarking on the novelty of finding an actual insect bugging up the computer. “Debug,” by the way, was also used in an 1945 issue of the Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, which Shapiro takes to suggest it was “probably preceded by several years of oral use in engineering slang.”
It's because click-bait is what attracts people who don't have the mind for using ad-blockers. It also attracts advertisers that offer more diverse (and often more malicious but profitable) ads.
I'm not sure making children the "central focus" of the lives of the parent will turn out to be as healthy as we think it in the current moment. I would agree if this qualified "[one of] the central focus[es]" and what you mean by "best possible" in terms of the cost the parent makes for the "best possible" instead of "adequate".
