I've struggled with weight my entire life (I'm in my forties). Back in 2019, I lost 80 pounds. I carefully regulated my calorie intake to 1,800 per day. I discovered I have an absolutely terrible sense of portion size, and absolutely never feel "full" or satiated. I also made it a point to close all three Activity rings on my Apple Watch every day. I felt better, I had more energy, and I was able to enjoy more things in my day-to-day life. Even with all of those positives, a series of difficult life events during the first year of COVID took me out of my routine, and I haven't been able to bounce back. I would like to try a GLP-1 to see if it could give me a boost in the right direction again. I have no interest in being on it, or any medication, forever.

Thankfully, I've never been addicted to anything other than food. I never liked alcohol, nor did I get any positive feeling from it. So, I don't drink. I've never been enticed by drugs, so I've never used them. I went to Atlantic City once, but have never gambled another day in my life. Being spared from these other addictions isn't a matter of my amazing willpower. I'm simply not drawn to those addictions. Nor do I think that people who battle those addictions simply have a lack of willpower. I believe it's much deeper than that.

I agree that celebrating a medication as a cure-all solution is problematic. But, I don't think that's what most people think about GLP-1s. I think most most people simply want, and deserve, a little help in a difficult and complex world.

You'll find such forbidding tends to exempt the countries themselves. Every military on the planet uses jammers.

Lots of data processing workloads don't need to be run constantly, but do need to be run in a shorter amount of time. Cloud is pretty good for that sort of thing.
This is the first I'm hearing about this lack of reproducibility, I can't make sense of it, you could always just take a picture of the resulting plate, no? Except color photos weren't a thing yet, so there just wasn't the technology at the time to make multiple copies?

Perhaps the more precise phrasing would be that the data is corrupted within a short enough period of time that they need to rewrite every 24 hours to ensure validity.

IIRC the shuttle’s magnetic-coil memory was hardened explicitly to defend against this sort of corruption, with additional windings to maintain a stronger charge state than would be used within the shield of the atmosphere.

I think you’re missing the point.

There are lots of people who could benefit massively from using AI. Who have no moral objection to it. But they just dismiss it so quickly because it doesn’t instantly, magically make beautiful things for them.

Anyone who cannot get something useful done by AI - who does want to do that - is lazy.

It’s like saying in the 19th century - oh this electricity isn’t really useful for anything much beyond lights. What’s the point?

Interesting to compare the top ads when sorting "Amount spent: high to low" and "Number of times shown: high to low". Political ads from 4 years ago appear to have been shown many more times for much less cost. This year's ads seem considerably more expensive while also reaching a smaller audience.
Clerk employee here - it's certainly the case that a lot of our users are JS ecosystem users, which is why those SDKs have received extra attention. That being said, I do want to note that we have greatly expanded the number of SDKs that we offer over the past year or so. I'm not sure which framework you were using when you tried it out, but we may have better support for it now! You can see all our supported SDKs if you scroll down in the docs: https://clerk.com/docs

Prepackaged grated parmesan needs an anti-caking additive no matter where in the world you live. Cellulose isn't bad for you, in moderation. So the issue is not whether your prepackaged parmesan has cellulose added, it's how much was added.

If you don't like it then you should buy solid parmesan and grate it yourself. In the US or anywhere else.

If we were just optimizing for climate yes, but because that policy would decimate the manufacturing base for war machines, it gets more complicated. Either way, the climate gets better because China is the largest influence.
In Norway it's forbidden with political ads on TV. Reasoning being that live images can have a huge influence, while also possibly being inflammatory and dumb down the debate. But main reason mainly is that it would give those with enough money to afford these "expensive tv ads" a leg up.

However, this law hasn't been updated in decades. So it's still only TV ads that's illegal. So it feels like a quite arbitrary restriction now.

Not saying it should be illegal on other media as well, but I do like the idea of it not being the size of your pockets determining the election. I guess that would be hard to police anyways now, with how influencers can sway stuff without it being an "ad", or how algorithms drive you into a rabbit hole of tailored content anyways.
Thanks. Yeah that makes sense for low hanging fruit. Going through the gcc flags it does seem like a lot of tradeoffs have to be made so you can't cover everything. A quick look through compiling Rust it seems it does at least some of this checking at MIR. I'll have to read more about it.

It gets into hydrophobic binding sites, and accumulates in lipids.

> Aromatic compounds, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and halogens are the hydrophobic parts of ligand PAEs. Hydrophobic contact is caused by the spatial proximity of the non-polar amino acid side chains and the hydrophobic substituents on the ligand PAE molecules. Water molecules are released from the hydrophobic region upon hydrophobic contact, and the unconstrained water molecules released can participate in the energy-favorable hydrogen bonding interactions, which enhance the overall binding affinity of the ligand [37,38,39]. Therefore, the hydrophobic interactions between ligands and receptors affect the ability of PAEs to bind to hormone proteins and influence the ability of PAEs to bind to DNA response elements.

I'd imagine a parabolic dish that points at the satellite, driven by something powerful like a klystron. With a highly directional antenna and high power one should be able to saturate the satellite receiver.
I don't know what your "best" criterion is (implementation costs, implementation time, maintainability, performance, compression ratio, etc.). Still, the easiest way to start is to delegate it to the file system, so zfs + compression. Access time should be decent. No application-level changes are required to enable that.

Well, the whole block is still pretty expensive.

As a response to (ii), I assure you that things are most certainly not moving very fast with experimental stuff like flakes. Flakes were first released as "experimental" almost 3 years ago and have been stuck in feature purgatory ever since.
One use case could be improving navigation directions. Right now, map apps provide granular, step-by-step instructions that include unnecessary details, such as how to exit your own neighborhood.

AI could provide more human-oriented direction that focus on key landmarks and decisions rather than every minor turn. For example:

"Hop on 80 West, cross the bridge, take Sir Francis Drake onto 101 South, take the Alexander Avenue exit, don't go through the tunnel, and your destination will be on the right."

I've directly participated in this project and all I have to say is this: the same madness that created a super complex and unmanageable environment in the cloud is now in charge of creating a super easy and manageable environment on premises. The PoC had barely been approved and there was already legacy stuff in the new production environment.

Well, I think we could define it by what the people living there considered themselves to be. And generally, from what I know (but I'm not well read on this subject, so I'm happy to be corrected), the inhabitants of the area would have called themselves Romans, at least by the time the city came to be known as Constantinople.

Also, the culture of Athens or Sparta or Crete or any of the other places that would have called themselves, or at least accepted the term, Greeks (well, Hellenes) was quite different from the culture of Constantinople, at least, again, by the time the city came to be known by that name.
Of course :).
Its not open access because it was a book published in 1985! You have to do a little bit of work to research this like any subject but I provided a link to an open-access paper which summarizes it and two other studies (your local public library can probably get you a copy through interlibrary loan).

Its not standard practice to cite obsolete papers and 1945 is obsolete in almost any field of research. I have no idea why the chapter in "Men of Bronze" picked a paper from 1945 as its source of Truth about Ancient Heights but I suspect it was the first thing the author could find that seemed to support the predetermined conclusion. Remember that in 1945 statistics was pencil-and-paper!

Regardless of its impact on the election, this decision ends the Washington Post a serious news organization. Prior to this, you could reasonably trust it as a decent source, if questionable on tech & Amazon stories due to the ownership bias. After this, it's clear that Bezos purchased it with intent to push his own views. It's no longer a reliable source for news, it's just a mouthpiece for Amazon & Bezos's other companies.

Sad to see an important newspaper die in this way. I hope the people that do good work there are able to find new employment.
Entropix gives you a framework for doing that sort of thing. The architecture is essentially to detect the current state, and then adjust sampler settings or swap in an entirely new sampler strategy.

You absolutely could experiment with pushing it into a denial, and I highly encourage you to try it out. The smollm-entropix repo[1] implements the whole thing in a Jupyter notebook, so it's easier to try out ideas.

Great question! By default, with libgit2 each write to a repo (e.g. push) will create a new pack file. We have written a simple packing algorithm that runs after each write. It works like this:

Choose these values:

* P, pack "Planck" size, e.g. 100kB

* N, branching factor, e.g. 8

After each write:

1. iterate over each pack (pack size is S) and assign each pack a class C which is the smallest integer that satisfies P * N^C > S

2. iterate variable c from 0 to the maximum value of C that you got in step 2

* if there are N packs of class c, repack them into a new pack, new pack is going to be at most of class c+1
A comment isn’t social media to me, every news site used to have a comment section but wasn’t social media.

The paper is about DNA mutation. DNA is not a hydrophobic binding site. It doesn't interact with hydrophobic binding sites. Moreover, the chemical studied in this particular paper is not particularly hydrophobic.

Your theory is wrong, at least in this case. Also, this paper says the opposite of what you think it says:

> based on the three-dimensional potential energy surface information, it was discovered that the hydrophobic, steric, and electrostatic fields of PAEs significantly influence their endocrine disruption effects on humans.

They're saying that hydrophobic effects matter, but non-hydrophobic effects also matter. So everything matters.

FWIW, the paper is not particularly worth citing. Someone made an ML model that said what any competent chemist could tell you by looking at a phthalate.
It feels like there might still be time for Nix to morph into something that can get mass adoption. But it probably requires some radical technical changes and the controversy around flakes (which are incredibly useful) suggests that the existing community might not accept that.

Whatever comes next, IMO the killer feature will be that it enables rock solid developer tooling. LSPs that work; typed inputs to modules; control of deployment of NixOS machines and so on.

What are they saying then? I am interpreting them in the context of this discussion which is on Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel and Israel’s response.

You seem to imply they are pointing to internal matters to Israel, not Hezbollahs aims. In which case it’s a total non sequitur comment. Or are you or they, suggesting Hezbollahs aims (given Hezbollah is what we are discussing) simply to reform internal issues within Israel and that is their reason for launching 10,000 rockets at them? I think you know that’s not the case.

Shooting other people is also forbidden in most countries, but militaries of said countries are still allowed to do it e.g. when they're at war. This is the same, but for satellite communications.
The entire underlying layer of possible misconfigurations is absent in the cloud. Yes, the services on top of that can still be misconfigured, but you don't get access to hosts, SANs, switches, firewalls, gateways, there isn't anything for you to mess up. The shared responsibility model allows you to also pick even more robust options.

But even if you were to stick to something simple, say, object storage. A bucket or blob store has no SAN config, no webserver config, no switches, no gateways, no raid controllers, no striping, mirroring, parity configuration, no firmware, no BIOS, no BMC, no OS. None of that. It's all eliminated. All that remains is the top layer where you configure your cost-to-resilience ratio and your access policy. And yes, you could cut corners, but those are orders of magnitude fewer corners you could be cutting than if you include all the stuff below it.

Add to that: almost all of it has good APIs that are well defined, well supported and have an ecosystem to go with it. Try finding anything like that for a crappy NetApp or EMC appliance you find in a datacenter. It either doesn't exist, or it's so bad you might as well run MinIO or a bloody NFS share (not actual object storage) yourself.

Being bad at cloud is definitely more expensive than being bad at on-prem, I'll give you that. But with cloud, at least you get a bill that you can use to show your peers and higher ups that being bad has a cost. Internal virtual/amortised dollars are much harder to allocate to incompetence. It's often completely ignored, and at best revisited at periodic capacity planning reviews with few to no consequences.

The only place on-prem has, is with locality requirements. That includes latency sensitive things where sub 1ms is a goal, and air gapped things. But even in the first case things like an AWS Outpost exist, and those are cheaper than doing it yourself (not much, but enough to save on the hardware and on 2 FTEs).
