Plus one in this, I reverted my Type II diabetes in 3-ish months by radically cutting out carbs (including sugars) and adding more protein to my diet. My lab results have been consistently in the "OK" range since.

Well, "if you have a large active following base" is the key here. If you don’t, it’s almost impossible to find an audience.

I have never seen a Debian system break due to auto-updates when they only subscribe to the common main, contrib and even non-free Debian repositories. They are incredibly stable and robust.

However one might want to use apt preferences/version pinning if they also use external non-debian repositories to e.g. install a newer version of PHP. Since some repositories keep different major versions in the same repository, an auto-update might otherwise install a version that causes an application to break.

That being said, most systems can probably get away with auto-updates and a little apt preference configuration and call it a day.
The Influence of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Sina on Descartes [pdf]
Its a good example of what LLMs arent capable of. If they think the word Mississippi has the letter A in it (per article), thats a strong indication that the transformer architecture may never be able to achieve AGI.

Here's another example of a simple question that a state of the art model (Claude 3.5) gets wrong, as tested just now:

Prompt: How many words are in this sentence?

Response: This sentence contains 7 words.

Interestingly, it seemed to count the number of words in my sentence correctly, but still answered incorrectly.
> To do that, dog should be handled by someone who is not their regular police handler.

Not necessarily if the experiment is double blind. (Or tripple blind I guess because it is the dog, the handler and the on-site experimenter who are not aware of where the samples are hidden.)

> Can't win against crooks.

That is the bigger problem.
Another one worth mentioning is the Fialka. It was a cipher machine used all the way up to the 90's. It was only a little better than the Enigma and lagged far behind what the western world was using. Not sure why they bothered to try to destroy most of them. It's interesting from the technology perspective just how far behind the soviets were in some areas. Fast forward to today and China isn't in the same boat. A lot of their technology is on par and there are even areas where they surpass the west.

If you’re a born in a Welsh speaking household English is of course technically not your fist language.

Yet by the time you’re an adult you’ll probably be indistinguishable from a native English speaker and likely use this as your primary language outside of your home. It really matters very little that English isn’t technically your “first” language in a situation like this.
I have, back when we were selling a CRM product in the dotcom wave.

We could do AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Windows NT/2000, Red-Hat Linux, with Oracle, Informix, DB2, Sybase SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Access (if you were feeling crazy, just for local dev).

It wasn't that the customers would switch database, or OS, rather the flexibility allowed us to easily adapt the product to customer needs, regardless of their setup.
Those even were on the desktop, for a very short while, with the broadwell processor i5-5675C and i7-5775C.They were stronger than the FM2+-Apus AMD had released earlier, that Intel otherwise could not beat for years, just weaker than the following Ryzen Apus.

Ofc gone in the next generation. But those widely available might have changed things.
Oracle charge per core; whilst Graviton has a lot of advantages, you can get a bit more out of a single amd64 core. SQL server doesn't even release for ARM AFAIK.
I’d love to get this for my own machines.
It's 'remarkable' because (a) academic careers are as much about hype as science, (b) arxiv doesn't have peer review process to quash this, (c) people take arxiv seriously.
>Your situation doesn't seem "normal".

This perspective is so mind-blowing to me. I'm Western European, and all of my male friends have female friends, all of my female friends have male friends. That's what's normal to me. When I hear people say things like "friendship between men and women always has sexual tension," that's what sounds "not normal" to me.

I guess it has a lot to do with cultural norms and gender roles.
> This is one of those features where the benefits seem to very obviously outweigh the drawbacks

That has never been true. Neither for pro- nor casual users. This might be good for the bottom line of Apple, but I doubt that too, since they squander their reputation. This is non-engineers calling the shots, just like Jobs warned us about.

I do run quite a few unsigned apps and I don't even use a mac that often. This is just stupid...

While I agree with the idea, they certainly have a development cost in complexity.
It comes from Smalltalk. Flavors are probobly older than DEFCLASS, ZWEI and the Window system was already using Flavors heavily before DEFCLASS became part of the main system.

Neither Flavors or DEFCLASS got replaced -- they have different purposes though can often be replaced either way.
I think the real reason is that now EVERYONE is online. It used to be only people with high levels of interest and motivation could even participate, but now that there are no barriers at all, it's just awash in shitty halfbaked ideas and low effort junk.

“Oh our http handler knows about the db”

Ok? Its job here is more or less “be a conduit to the db with some extra logic”.

It “knows about a lot of things” but it’s also exceedingly clear what’s going on.

The main function is fine. I’ll take a “fat” main function over something that obscures what it’s actually doing behind a dozen layers of “abstraction”. Nothing like trying to isolate a component when you’re fighting an outage and nobody can figure out which of the 16 abstract-adapters or service-abstracted launched the misbehaving task.

The original code might be “messy” but it’s at least _obvious_ what it’s doing, and it can pretty clearly be pulled apart into separate logic and IO components when we need to.

This all just feels a bit…over engineered, to say nothing of the insulting tone towards the other learning resource.
Cool! :) I opened an issue on github about it, I'd do a pull request, but I didn't manage to make it build yet :) Super cool project, looking forward got playing with it :)
In stored form, sure.

Otherwise the information the average person knows about the past is probably even worse, pop memes aside ("Cleopatra's nose", "Egyptians worshipped cats").

Even the immediate past - like 10-20 years before people were born, would be a foreign concept, if it weren't for the ocassional period movie and tv series reference.

Did you read the parent tweet? (I missed it at first.)

I think there's an empirical claim being made - YC has produced less successful startups in the last ten years, so something must be wrong, and this is a guess as to what the problem is.

I'm not convinced the empirical claim is true, though, personally. Of course you'll have less successes given shorter timespans, and not recognizing that is a common failure mode for these kinds of analyses.
Finding SQL Injection is pretty trivial for SAST tools. The difficulty is what happens next. After whatever tool finds several thousand SQLI vulns in a Cold Fusion application from 2001 that hasn't been touched in over a decade, someone must be identified to take responsibility for changing the code, testing it, and deploying it. Even if the tool can change the code, no one will want to take responsibility for changes made to an application that has quietly running correctly since before most of their department has been at the company using an ancient technology that no one has experience with deploying into production. This is where so many vulns live.

Shift left and modern development patterns can catch a very large amount of known vulns so in newer applications things become mostly about fixing newly discovered vulns and doing it in an active development cycle. It's the older code that's the real scary monster and identifying the vulns is the least scary part of the process to get them remediated and put into production.

Anything that reduces false positives is good, especially if it does so without also making a significant reduction in identified true positives, but none of that changes the fact that it is the low hanging fruit of the system.
Been seeing lots of cool TUIs built with ratatui. Can anyone offer a comparison between ratatui and Golang https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea?

I've been wanting to get into building a TUI but can't decide which library to pick.
Thank you for your thorough reply.

I am sorry i don't have time to consider all aspects of it.

But to me it seems like a problem around what optional means, and it has been very unstable, in particular in the transition between proto2 and proto3.

Avro just seems like a more stable choice. Also back to my main point, that support for protobuf in Apache products is iffy.
Here’s an article basically saying that crime is declining in Sweden and claims of migrant crime are exaggerated: https://www.thedailybeast.com/john-oliver-unloads-on-damaged...

> Selin completed a study recently focusing on negative news reports about Sweden’s acceptance of refugees. It found numerous exaggerations and distortions, including false reports that Sharia law was predominant in parts of the country and that some immigrant-heavy neighborhoods were considered ‘no-go zones’ by the police.

> A radio signal takes more than 22 hours to reach Voyager 1

Voyager has a 23 watt radio and a 14 foot parabolic dish antenna, pointed directly at Earth which is presently 15 billion miles away.

The corresponding earth ground station has a 100 foot dish and transmits at thousands of watts.

It's astonishing to me that Voyager knows where Earth is at all. I imagine it uses Sol as a reference? Or maybe the high powered control signal carrier?

Amazing stuff.
There a lot of "stories" like those lately. Looks like failed writers who could not make their way into publishing. Instead they are creating "what if" stories.
> Those that actually do work, have nothing to say in these scrums. It's a fact.

There is something fundamental here.

Competent programmers make it look like they slack off and what they do is easy.

The ones who create problems that in practice only they can fix and seem blocked all the time are the ones that seem productive in an agile environment.

I guess that is the reason standups evolve into some sort of status update, finger pointing and bragging contest.

That’s a mighty lot of words, to say “functional core, imperative shell”.

Maybe I’m being glib, but damn, a whole article, and boatloads of fancy new terminology, just to re-state what the author succinctly landed on in the _first_ paragraph:

> Create your application to work without either a UI or a database so you can <do a bunch of nice stuff and make your life easier>”.
Thats explicitely stated in the post:

Interestingly I discovered that if the chip is set for unprotected mode, the bootloader actually waits around for update commands instead of booting the application firmware. So Elgato is using the locked/unlocked bit as a way of signifying whether it should stay in the bootloader or not, which I find to be a little bit weird. That completely explained why my second HD60 S stopped working after I installed my unlocked firmware — it was stuck in the bootloader waiting forever because the chip was unprotected.
The FBI spent 4 decades grossly lying about their ability to analyze hair. Think about that. The charade actually went on so long that some people would have lived their entire adult life, their entire career lying their asses off. It was later found that at least 90% of cases contained errors.

During this time someone could have similarly proved that it wasn't so because were it so surely someone could have challenged it.

An alternative explanation is that forensic science or indeed any sort of science as practiced by law enforcement has always been a joke and the bar to do something about it is always very very high.

The cost of challenging anything is often prohibitively expensive both in terms of legal costs and in risk of drawing a sentence several times worse than a plea and any case which might result in police losing a valuable tool can be mooted by simply dropping that particular case after that high bar is met.

Remember also that the prosecution and the judge aren't scientists but ARE colleagues. Perceptively evidence from dogs are brought only when they actually find something so even if they don't provably always "work" in the scientific sense they perceptively help them nail bad guys. The idea that the judge would be liable to remove that useful tool because it didn't pass scientific muster is both optimistic and naive.

Yes, I did. But I feel like you missed key points?

1. The video mentions pumping losses because it was an old argument against EGR, which only applied to older diesels relying on a butterfly valve for vacuum. Pumping losses still matter in a turbodiesel though, as it's a resistance you need to overcome with more fuel.

2. At idle, when the EGR is open, you get a lower combustion temperature which accelerates the natural cooling of the combustion chamber that happens at idle. So at that point, when the engine is using the least possible amount of fuel, efficiency will be dropped for a while.

But:

3. The EGR is only ever fully open for a bit when idling after the cylinders have been run hot. Once the temperature has dropped a bit, it will be only be slightly open. When you press the gas, it closes entirely. When fully closed, it has no impact on efficiency.

4. No, the EGR is entirely harmless - the small amount of recirculated exhaust gas only contains things that were already present in the cylinder a moment ago. The PCV on the other hand pulls oil into the combustion chamber.

If you're concerned about the idle fuel economy impact of the EGR, get a car/truck with start-stop as it removes the concern entirely, netting you an inf% improvement to idle fuel consumption.

> Regarding electric, what’s the range of the available electric tow vehicle that costs 50k and can tow 18,000 lbs with 10% of that on the rear axle? -inf because it doesn’t exist.

Ignoring that it wouldn't be "minus infinity", no one is claiming that someone actively towing 18000 lbs should buy an electric before they can do what you need them to do.

People can get over-excited about technology to the point of pushing it a bit too hard. If you have an actual need (most people citing towing capabilities have never used their trailer hitch), keep using a gasoline truck with the correct factory emission equipment until the better technologies have matured for your use-case.
Completely agree — I recently replaced my Apple Watch with a Casio LF-20W (closely related to the one in the article) and it’s honestly astounding how much quicker it is to get basic watch things done on it.
If these features need to be forced by legislative action, the product itself is probably shit. And most importantly, not in the interest of users, like some like to argue.
I believe some of these flexible working request laws mean that companies must consider whether it's reasonable (for the business) and allow it if it's reasonable.

It's fairly toothless in most jurisdictions since businesses can just say it's unreasonable and not elaborate.

I read some subreddits for authors for a while, and all of the advice was like this. A few authors get lucky writing what they like, but most of them find a niche and relentlessly optimize for it. Romance sounded like the most optimizable, because it's a bunch of microgenres, and within a microgenre the readers want to read the exact same thing over and over. Some authors were making good money writing a book a month and self-publishing.

At that point, I'd rather be an accountant.
Maybe, but they’d need a really high bar if you had the paperwork with you to not have to pay out. It’s true though that it would require some fighting. But that’s true of any cop misbehavior, unfortunately.

Civil penalties for this behavior means if you prevail (and it’s an egregious case), you can more than make up for it. Many attorneys will take such cases on contingency, as the odds are pretty good.

It’s great that it works in your case.

But one thing HN community does not mention enough is when executives make these policies, they are looking at overall productivity and not individuals.

Also, HN posts may have selection bias. Perhaps people who perform better in office do not want to admit it. Perhaps people who work in the office don’t have time or the opportunity to post on HN as often.

Many HN posters still spout conspiracy theories like real estate investments by executives as the reason why RoT is enacted. When in reality, it’s highly likely that the executives see overall productivity being down and that HN posters do not represent the majority.

That's an easy scenario. General utilities should aim to make hard things possible and then minimize the overhead in easy scenarios, so the fact that this is more complex than the dumbest thing that could possibly work, is not by itself a good argument against.

They force the employer to give a reason, and that reason has to be "reasonable", i.e. can be fought in courts if it's "that's just how we do it here".
The problem word, i think, is "extended." To me, that means adding functionality to the feature set, to others it may mean "changing the db" - and the two designs will be different.
The best companies to hit would be those foolish enough to not suspect their code is insecure because all software development produces vulns. Off prem scanning is a big issue in the AppSec space and vendors handle it in various ways, mostly through promises and documented processes, neither of which mean much if the vendor is a front for an intelligence agency or had otherwise been captured.

There are some free tools out there but most do lag behind the industry as a whole by quite a bit. There's also lots of abandoned free tools out there cluttering up the space. Plenty started with good intentions that now give a false sense of security. There's also lots of snake oil in the paid space. Doing one's homework really helps here and you'd be surprised how many tools fail miserably during a simple proof of concept test, which is probably why more and more vendors try to avoid them.
Agree that it would be nice to specify credentials a different way - however as a workaround: some bash-based shells support prefixing the command with a space as a way of not saving that command into history.

I've had that in contracts, but have always crossed it out. I suggest you do the same.

No employer I've seen has ever questioned it, they know it'd be illegal for them to actually force you to opt-out your of your rights. If they put it in writing that it was a conditional part of employment they'd be in hot water.

They're just hoping you just sign away your rights "for free" so to speak.
