The fascinating thing about showering is that there are quite a lot of ways to reduce your consumption of heating or water. E.g.:

- shower less often (e.g. to have one day every 10 days without showering means saving 10%!)

- shower with cold(er) water

- shower a minute or two shorter (also please stop showering in the middle for the soap)

- use a different sprinkler head that uses less water or don't crank up the tap as much

well, at least I find it fascinating...

As someone who frequently follows HN and Reddit threads, I’ve noticed that while many interventions are discussed (like supplements or diets), nothing truly beats physical activity for improving well-being—unless you have a legitimate medical condition preventing it. Of course, sample size = 1, and everyone’s different, but this has been my experience.

It's been several years since I've dug into it and implemented the features I cared about for my personal shell in bash, but I recall that implementing a function to determine if an item exists in an array is significantly shorter and easier in bash 5 due to a feature that is not present in zsh. Probably too obscure for most people to care about, but at the time I was maintaining some rather preposterous bash glue code that relied on that, and compensating for zsh on some people's machines was tedious.
Anxiety and depressions are feelings. Eating feels good for a little bit. But I could easily make the claim that getting a dog and taking it for regular walks in nature counteracts symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Why do so many people think eating something is the path to good health.

Also knowing how things are encoded in neural networks, where it's a combination of variables that sets off some behaviour. Why do Scientists still persist on trying to isolate a single variable.
It should be much easier to take overlapping pictures and "seam" them together.

I assume there are software tools for that.
Commercial aviation was regulated because planes were killing people, and when it came in, air travel became the safest form of transportation. That isn't a coincidence. If the vast majority of software doesn't hurt anyone if it has bugs, then it won't require any certifications. If you heard me arguing for that, then you heard wrong. I am advocating for risk/harm based certification/liability.
How about workplace accidents? They are also not inevitable and should be reduced. Are they "workplace violence"? Clearly not, that already means something else.

That is why it is accurate to call "traffic violence" a propaganda device.

I think there's a practical distinction between the kind of term "omega-3" is vs the kind of term "marijuana" is.

You mostly only find THC/CBD/etc in marijuana; and we mostly only consume marijuana to get those particular active ingredients into our bodies. So you can forget about "marijuana" as a category for describing those compounds, and just speak of the compounds themselves — measure marijuana strains by the presence of those active ingredients; extract and purify one particular active ingredient and sell it; etc. Doing this doesn't lose you anything; in fact, it's a pure win, as the use of precise language gives people a tool to leverage to more precisely ask for the effect they're looking for, and gives suppliers a tool to more precisely describe what they're selling.

While the omega-3 constituent compounds can be treated this way, they are not solely a thing we extract or synthesize to put in precise-molarity-per-dose pills; they're also a thing found in food. Many different foods; with most of them being foods people eat for reasons beyond just getting omega-3s in their bodies. In other words, the "omega-3" constituent compounds are nutrients.

And many of these omega-3-containing foods — fish, for example — aren't carefully cultivated species that have known ratios of the omega-3 constituent compounds that could be put on the label of the food-product. Rather, the ratio of those constituent compounds is pretty much random per individual food item. One salmon at the grocery store has omega-3 fats which happen to be high in DHA, while the next salmon beside it in the same cooler display is higher in EPA. All you can in general about a food product — all a supplier can say, and all a food shopper can generally expect to look for — is a food that is "high in omega-3s."

As long as people are interested in optimizing their health in a loose manner by eating "healthful foods" — rather than taking specifically-formulated supplements — I don't expect they'll let go of the generic categorical term "omega-3." When it comes to food, "it contains omega-3s" is almost always the tightest bound you can put on the "nutritional value" of a given food.
A next step could be to "restore" those cracks in the image, and get an image of how it looked when new.

You may have seen on YouTube, various videos that come out of I think Pakistan of various "human powered" factories -- in many of them, they are recycling plastics into new products (I won't get into any of the safety [total lack of] or child labor exploitation aspects of this ...).

In one particular video they were shredding all kinds of waste plastic (again, not even a dust mask) and melting it to extrude into thin strings that were then cooled and chopped up yielding bags of source material for new products.

They were then taking these pellets and making "PVC water pipes" using a home-made looking propane powered extrusion machine. God only knows what kinds of plastic they were using but the pipes looked exactly like the ones you'd find at a Home Depot or similar store. Kudos to the ingenuity of the workers, but wow, I worry about the health implications not just for the workers inhaling the particles and fumes, but the end-users who are now drinking water through pipes made from who knows what plastics.

no, it's not the opposite. they should have flipped their views to be in line with reality. they are celebrating the culture war while ignoring science.

the people in the article likely care more about elon's tweets and the environment than they do about buying tesla cars. i suspect they will prefer other electric vehicles.
It's not "bias", but being financially prudent - when you are financially constrained, you don't need a $1200 phone nor do you need to subscribe to a $50/month plan when cheaper options are available. Depending on your budget, you can get a feature phone for around $50 or a smart phone for around $100, and opt for a prepaid plan (the cheapest of which starts from $15/month with limited data).

This doesn't deserve to be downvoted.

The primary impediment to the implementation of a panopticon state has been the unrealistically high amount of human labor needed to analyze everyone's movements. With AI analysts, that barrier will be destroyed. Authoritarian governments are salivating at the prospect.
lol, I know they’re just doing their job, but “in a surprising move” is funny commentary for this. Elon never had a plan at all other than vaguely rile people up — Brazil is a huge market, and despite his “go fuck yourselves” rhetoric, he’s still legally beholden to investors to try to make some of their money back. The only way he wouldn’t “capitulate” would be if Twitter folded before he could.

This of course doesn’t help his election-time rhetoric, but eh I don’t think facts matter that much for that, anyway. He still gets to shout about being silenced by evil socialist Brazil, even if he’s capitulated.

Hopefully Bluesky/the fediverse doesn’t lose the momentum they’ve gained there! I’m only familiar with Spanish-speaking South America, but I’m guessing Brazil still has a considerable anti-“imperialist west” (cough cough America) sentiment in the bedrock of its culture; intentionally and condescendingly flaunting their laws is not a good look, at all.
Add to that the Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough at the Pasadena Huntington and anything by Hans Holbein the Younger such as the portraits of Sir Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell at the Frick Collection.

The former uses a brilliant blue paint that is simply impossible to convey via RGB display or CMYK printing color spaces and the latter look like giant printed photographs, down to the stubble on More's face, even though they were painted in the early 16th century.

> And so much of the European painting mastery in the 1400s+ is the manipulation of non-opaque paint to create a desired effect.

I'm sad that people don't bother with that as much today. I went on a shopping spree a while ago buying a bunch of Williamsburg and Old Holland oil paints and their colors are absolutely amazing, especially the old school heavy metal paints which come in a variety of opacities. Blending them is an art in its own right. Sadly I don't have any skill at painting so it's mostly abstract experiments with color.

"Traffic violence" is not a thing. Call them "traffic accidents" as we always have, and we can move on.

And then, of course, bicyclists often run into other bicyclists, or into pedestrians. So now there's "bicycle violence"?

From the article:

As Apple explains on the new iPhone models, JPEG XL files are supported
on iOS 17 and later and macOS 14 and later.

JPEG XL isn't limited to the latest phones; just a phone that can run iOS 17 or later. I have used JPEG XL on my iPhone 13 mini with no issues. iOS 17 runs on the iPhone XS (2018) or newer.

The difference is JPEG XL is now part of the Apple's image pipeline for the camera in iPhone 16.

Any 3rd party photo app developer can support JPEG XL if they wish.
No, they are "traffic accidents." You don't get to rename them so they sound like something else.
Would love some links to descriptions of these systems.
Dealing with raccoons is a challenge. I learned from reading CA and SF ordinances that it’s illegal to trap and relocate or injure nuisance animals but apparently it’s totally fine to trap and swiftly kill them. In case you’re wondering, I have not trapped, injured, or killed any raccoons.

Pretty sure it's just a way to get more expansion from the same air charge.

It's a similar idea to the Atkinson cycle. You have dissimilar compression and expansion strokes. In normal engines, there's a limit to compression ratio because if it's too high, it causes knocking. But a bigger expansion ratio lets you extract more energy out of the combusted gas, which leads to higher efficiency.

The original Atkinson cycle idea was to use some complex linkage to get dissimilar compression and expansion strokes, but the way it's implemented in things like the Prius is to have a high compression engine, but mess with the intake valve timing such that you only use a small part of that compression during the intake phase so you effectively handicap your compression ratio to avoid knock, while still retaining the full stroke during the expansion phase.

* There is a nice crt effect

* When you get shot your screen shakes with blood.

* When you pause you get a panoramic view of the level you currently playing on the menu.

That is only what I can tell.

Well, I wasn't arguing that the language is actually named ADA. I was just saying it seems like a common mistake.

Plus for some reason (not sure why, exactly), ADA looks more likely to me to be an acronym than JAVA does. Also, way more people are familiar with Java than Ada, and I'm sure the number of programmers who do not remember (or never knew) who Ada Lovelace was closely resembles the number that are unfamiliar with Ada the language.
Positron: next-generation data science IDE
Speaking as a former consultant, just… no. The chain of events here is fantasy-land:

1. Consulting company writes article supportive of remote work

2. But they’re lying because remote work increases their profit margins

3. Because it decreases travel expenses, so they charge more for the same work, but the overall package is less.

This is ridiculous conspiracy thinking. The potential profit is miniscule, the reputational cost of being caught is high, and it completely misunderstands how these things are sold. Prices are negotiated exclusive of expenses (typically) and buyers often don’t even see expenses. They often go straight to Accounts Payable and might even come out of an entirely different budget.
According to that Wikipedia article, the modern Atkinson cycle trades time spent creating power in the compression phase for time spent extracting energy during the expansion phase, gaining efficiency at the cost of total power.
llamafile will run on all architectures because it is compiled by cosmopolitan.

https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

"Cosmopolitan Libc makes C a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable."

What's sad is most of the EV hesitancy is because of range anxiety, charging stations are the fix, and building a charging station is relatively easy.
Put that way I almost think that open source made things worse. Without it we might have multitude of different computing paradigms. Now we are in essence stuck with two and one of those have enabled the other... And I have no doubt that with enough competition we could do lot better. After all lot of Posix is ancient crap not fit for current age.
Something which is very hard, if not impossible, to get unless you look at the real deal.

I'm generally not into art but my mom took me to the Rijksmuseum, and I was blown away by the details in those paintings. I spent probably 15 minutes just studying the translucent ruff in one of the paintings in amazement.

The paint is three dimensional, the light interacts in ways which just aren't captured in a photo. Viewing the paintings on my screen here now they all look flat and quite dull in comparison.
There's another block of folks who look at Tesla like a company who's making great software in 1994, but it only runs on Windows NT.

Yes, EVs are better in a lot of ways, but in 2024 there are severe barriers that make EVs impractical for a lot of people. Throughout most of the world, charging infrastructure just isn't good enough.

Because cities have better charging infra than rural areas, EVs are at their best as commuter cars. Ironically, there was already an alternative to commuter cars that's hypothetically even better than EVs - public transit - and it also suffers due to lack of investment in infrastructure development.

Have you tried a Llamafile? Not sure what platform you are using. From their readme:

Low cost to experiment IMO. I am personally using MacOS with an M1 chip and 64gb memory and it works perfectly, but the idea behind this project is to democratize access to generative AI and so it is at least possible that you will be able to use it.

On a related topic, I started taking bacopa monnieri and it improved my memory and mental endurance, anxiety and depression. I gave it to my wife and had the totally opposite effect:

Also I can drink coffee and won't make any effect on my sleep, while my wife gets the boost. I wouldn't be surprised the effects of all those supplements depend on your body chemistry.

You’re the one who felt as though “bonding” with people at work was beneath you — seemingly regardless of whether it was in person or remote — and who then went on to describe things you do at work which were excellent examples of bonding.
