I am overweight. That food and sugar noise thing is real and brutal. Your parent comment should really factor that in the discussion. I know it's hard because (fortunately) they may not have experienced this themselves, but it's horrible.

My body SCREAMS for me to eat something sweet/carby all fucking day long. All day. Never realized the extent of it until using GLP-1s. I tried many things: full strict diets with macro counting, IF, more lenient and "natural-feeling" diets where you just try to eat whole foods that are filling and tasty. With or without weight lifting, sometimes cardio. Yeah they work, big surprise! But the entire time you are fighting against that urge, doesn't matter if you've gone a full month with perfect "discipline". Eventually it gets you. And I was miserable the entire time trying _not_ to think about food.

This is life changing.

Yeah it does emit a bit of heat. I think around one or two hundred watts? I haven't measured it directly. I have a mini split air conditioner in my home office.
> Old paradigms of nutrition have clearly failed. If we could acknowledge that we could move forward and be open to very promosing alternative paradigms.

> Which currently are not studied enough, to create clear nutritional guidelines for the public.

We have very clear, very obvious nutritional guidelines for the public, and we have lots of research on the healthy food to eat. The TLDR guidelines that would have a positive impact on most people is "eat less". Doesn't seem to work, and it's not an informational problem.

(1) its not long term solution, nutrition and a healthy relationship with food and lifestyle is.

The reality is that plenty of people will just never have this. Some people are "weak" or "genetically predisposed" or "addicted" or "impoverished" or any other number of things that people use to explain poor diet. No amount of nutritional guidelines will fix this. That's just the (unfortunate) reality. Now what do we do?

(2) GLP-1 medication (according to the article) have other benefits beyond nutrition, eg addiction, Alzheimer's, kidney health, etc. These benefits could be very real (some are still being studied). If they turn out real, how does our relationship with the drug change, how that its not just a replacement for a "healthy relationship with food and lifestyle"?

You've mentioned muscle being a proxy for health. Do you consider going to the gym and working out to be a "long term solution"? Why is spending an hour a day performing an artificial activity (lifting weights) generally considered a healthy lifestyle, but taking safe preventative medication not considered part of a healthy lifestyle?

(Generally) society considers vaccines to be safe and healthy, and we recommend them for everyone from a young age. They're obviously quite artificial, and they trick our body by stimulating certain biological pathways artificially.

What is different about certain medication like GLP1 meds that keep us from considering it part of a safe, healthy lifestyle?

> That said, these LLM-based systems are great at writing "change detection" unit tests that offer ~zero value (or negative).

That’s not at all true in my experience. With minimal guidance they put out pretty sensible tests.
I'm not sure what you mean here. Cursor is a LLM wrapper, so if you like LLMs, I don't know how you can like LLMs but not like Cursor. It's just a chatbot inside of VS Code. Cursor just provides the LLM more context, and an easier path to implementing the LLM's suggestions.

Indeed, you can just not do it for important things - usually the error paths leading to a crash or exit.

It's important for embedded software though. But that was a bad example; I should've said tail calls. Which are much more common and more important, because avoiding them blows out the stack for recursive code.

I'll not get into the weeds of leaving the world of facts when it comes to the definition of a genocide, the current state of international legislation and prosecution against Israel in this matter, or the inner politics of Israel for the past 5 odd years with huge demonstrations against the current government.
That's usually how it works for me too. I find that days 2-5 I start feeling not very good. I wouldn't say bloated, but almost weird blood sugar levels.

Usually about 6pm in the evening is when I start feeling terrible. Kinda makes me want to eat less.
Yeah that sucks. We definitely need more 5K monitors. And oh what I would give for high refresh rate ones too.

I am. Can suddenly do in a weekend what would have taken a week.
As public health policy though, just telling people to do the things you describe doesn't work because dieting sucks and your body doesn't want you to do it.

Some people can do it but they're usually not among the huge percentage of obese people in the population.

With GLP-1 agonists it doesn't even feel like you're fighting your body because you just automatically don't want to eat too much (just like people who don't have problems managing their weight).

I think it's basically a good thing that modern day civilization has cheap and available calories because no one has to go hungry, but this is an environment that evolution just hasn't prepared us for and many many people are just not calibrated right for it. Maybe we can finally fix that.

It starts €599,00 for 2(!) core Celeron. Seems absurd when you can get a Mini for an extra €100 (you can run Linux/Windows in a VM and still get a magnitude or few better perf). Or even an used old NUC or something, you'd need to go back very far to get a crappier CPU...

So the actual starting price seems to be €900-1000 (i.e. if you want an i5..)

The Celeron G6900 has a 46W TDP and seems to be around ~20% (multicore) slower than the <10W N100. Seems absurd that they are pushing garbage like that at such prices (even if its the base config)

Roberta Lincoln! Great episode.
Honestly I find that when GPT starts to lose the plot it's a good time to refactor and then keep on moving. "Break this into separate headers or modules and give me some YAML like markup with function names, return type, etc for each file." Or just use stubs instead of dumping every line of code in.
Oh god, I’d paint all hardware companies that way!

It's interesting to see relatively new works that have been beloved by generations of my immediate family.

I think it's completely wrong in the context of its role as an ASIC partner. There's a very short list of companies with all the IP needed for these cutting-edge ASICs and Broadcom/Avago might be the best of them. And to be clear, they've developed that IP themselves, just as they've always done. Those that think they're just a "holding company" haven't actually worked with them.

Good q. For most standalone vector search use cases, FAISS or a library like it is good.

However, FAISS is not a database. It can store metadata alongside vectors, but it doesn't have things you'd want in your app db like ACID compliance, non-vector indexing, and proper backup/recovery mechanisms. You're basically giving up all the DBMS capabilities.

For new RAG and search apps, many teams prefer just using a single app db with vector search capabilities included (Postgres, Mongo, MySQL etc) vs managing an app db and a separate vector db.

I read Solaris years ago and was unimpressed. The philosophy and science’ish elements were poorly described and it felt like a lit-fic attempt at trippy SF by someone ignorant of the genre.

Then, a year or two ago, I read about how bad the early translations were, so I picked up a new English translation. Wow, what a difference. Now it’s one of my favorites.
That's a good point, but there's probably a bit of nuance in there considering NPM serves a solution space to the entire spectrum of developers using a technology, and Wordpress to users in need of web content management features.
I read "Chess Skill in Man and Machine" when I was in college.

https://www.amazon.com/Chess-machine-monographs-computer-sci...

It wasn't so much that I was interested in chess, but the book really opened my eyes to how to write computer programs. For example, a 64 bit vector was used for the board, and for each piece type for each location another 64 bit vector was used to specify the legal moves.

I know all this sounds routine today, but I had only the most rudimentary programming skills at the time, and this stuff was fascinating.

I finally gave up on playing chess because instead of thinking about my next move, I'd think about writing a program to calculate the next move. Hence I played pretty badly.
It's not about who is the "Netscape" this time around, it's about the irrational exuberance surrounding the entire thing.

These days it seems like anybody can throw "AI" into their company name (even if it's complete BS) and it has the same effect as adding ".com" to a company name did in the late nineties.

IMHO AI is a .com-like hype cycle that's orders of magnitude larger and more irrational than anything that happened post-iPhone.

That's not to say that there aren't good businesses in there (the same was true of .com, of course), but there's a lot of junk that's getting a lot of money thrown at it.

It feels more likely to me that there's some sort of condition we don't have a widely known name for that is caused long-term by a combination of predisposition in genetics and something in western diets that is, I'm not sure, forcing us to overproduce ghrelin (possible links to puberty occurring earlier in both young boys and girls?), or underproduce certain classes of incretins (possible links to excessive blood sugar levels in larger percentages of the population historically over time?).

It would be boring to learn that it's just caused by excessive exposure to fructose.

But what do I know, I'm just a dumb HN reader.

Seems neat that there's ongoing work in this area and it'll be cool to read about new knowledge in that space when something is discovered.

In a vacuum, electro-magnetic waves travel at a speed of 3.336 microseconds (μs) per kilometer (km). Through the air, that speed is a tiny fraction slower, clocking in at 3.337 μs per km, while through a fiber-optic cable it takes 4.937 μs to travel one kilometer – this means that microwave transport is actually 48% faster than fiber-optic, all other things being equal.

By definition, it does, because the maximum speed is qualified by "the speed of light in a vacuum", so the speed of light [in other media] is simply a function of how much the medium slows it down, yet it is still the speed of light. Funny how that works!
For me, the best monitors by far for programming are LG's 28in DualUp, due to the aspect ratio. I have a pair side by side, and it's effectively four 1440p screens in a 2x2 layout, giving lots of vertical space without a bezel as well as horizonal on each screen.

You would need a rigorous way to encode proofs likely akin to Gödel numbering or at least something related to automated theorem proving and then add on transformation mechanisms and then rigorously prove that all proofs have transforms from one to the other.

I strongly assume this would be hard.

You COMPLETELY missed the elephant in the room : 8K TVs have really, really massive CPUs that waste a TON of power (150-200w for the CPU, 300-400w for the TV, often!) Think 8 cores of the fastest arm 64-bit processors available plus extra hardware accelerators! They need this extra processing power to handle the 8K television load, such as upscaling and color transforms - which never happen when you are using them as a monitor!

So, 8K TVs are a big energy-suck! There's a reason why European regulations banned 100% of 8K TVs until the manufacturers undoubtedly paid for a loophole, and now 8K TVs in Europe are shipped in a super-power-saver mode where they consume just barely below the maximum standard amount of power (90w) ... but nobody leaves them in this mode because they look horrible and dim!

If everybody were to upgrade to an 8K TV tomorrow, then I think it would throw away all the progress we've made on Global Warming for the past 20 years ...

You can absolutely jump economic steps. Many countries never got wide deployment of wired telephones, and never will. They skipped right to wide deployment of mobile phones. Many of those same countries skipped right past desktop computers in every home and laptops to replace desktops and have gone straight from limited computer access to the mobile phone replaces desktop computers.

You certainly don't need to hit all the economic steps, but using capital to reduce labor doesn't make sense when labor is much less expensive than capital.
Sure it does. It's just that the speed of light in non-hollow optical fiber is slower than light in a vacuum.

Thanks, I think I need to spend some more time studying meteorology so I can also better interpret how the data predicts actual hazards, as you are doing. I'm not even familiar with many of the acronyms you mention. I am simply comparing how well the predicted wind speeds are reflected in real life, in specific places where I am potentially in the wind shadow of relatively small hills, islands, etc. It is the flow around these objects that requires a high resolution model, as small shifts in wind direction make the wind shadows shift and change in size a lot. The actual overall prevailing conditions are so identical here from day to day in Northern California, there is hardly a need for large scale models unless the rare storm comes through.

I have noticed that where I am, the inland/offshore temperature differential is alone a pretty good predictor of overall wind speeds near the coast, not accounting for geography.
