I'm from the region and to me it was always about "ooh, this is real chocolate, not Compound chocolate".

Even as recently as a decade ago local producers would be using vegetable oils and less sugar so as to keep costs down. I remember being surprised how much sugar there was in plain cookies in Italy. British sweets I cannot touch to this day because they're commonly packed with salt as well as sugar. Same goes for American products - Reese's cupcakes are my holiday season guilty pleasure which inevitably gets me sick every time. They're violently flavourful.

On the flip side when I visited Ukraine in 2006 I noted that the local pralines had barely any sugar.

The Swiss and Germans seem to understand sweets on a deeper level than the rest. Notable exception is Lindt, which roasts the cocoa beans to seven hells for consistency, achieving a consistently sour-bitter aftertaste in its products.
Unitree is catching up to Boston Dynamics in locomotion, but has not surpassed them yet I think. Unitree's real advantage is the much lower cost of their hardware and their ability to mass produce their robots.

But IMO manipulation is harder than locomotion, both in hardware and software, and neither company is convincingly ahead there. I think the uncut laundry demo from Physical Intelligence a few days ago is better than anything shown by Unitree or BD for manipulation. https://www.physicalintelligence.company/blog/pi0#:~:text=Af....

That’s my take away too, even though I’m invested myself. The discussion around them has transcended into mythology. Imho part of it is because GPUs themselves are so foreign to many people as a development target and so they’re not really as aware of the landscape

Hey everyone! I’d love to share with you all a passion project I recently created using NEXT and express: www.codegroupie.com!

CodeGroupie is a platform where you can explore hundreds of open-source projects across a wide range of topics and filter them to your specific interests. Each project has a summary section that gives you a quick overview, along with links to recent open issues if you’re interested in contributing.

If you don’t see an open source project that you would like to add, you can also submit and request and we’ll take a look at it!

You can also share projects you’re working on or looking to start, and connect with others who have similar interests. If you’re looking for collaborators, feedback, or just want to chat about ideas, you can do it all here!

I’d love to hear any feedback or comments! Let me know what you think and if there are any features you’d like to see added. Thanks for checking it out!
In which aspect is this better than a human?* It's slower, energy-wise more expensive (a human with just a sandwich can work for hours), less preciss and error-prone. As a Manager, I would prefer a person that I can blame (corporative and legally) if something goes wrong, that being responsible (legally, mainly!) if this robot makes a huge mistake.

* From a business point of view. This is an incredible techinal achievement, I don't want to sound like this is not impressive. But it seems that every new development seems to focus on how they can replace humans or be better at or do things that we usually do.
>The best study done to date on hyperpalatable foods found that fat and sodium were the most common drivers of hyperpalatability...

No, that was not the conclusion from this study and it's absolutely not true. The only goal of this study was to "..develop a quantitative definition of HPF".
If this was a job with a non-abstract input and output process they would have OSHA saying it was genuinely unsafe (and definitely stupid.)

Many of us build systems to manage automatic actions to take care of this stuff, if I had an engineer I had to take 100+ steps to get something done I would definitely be considering 1) What the hell am I paying for and 2) Why the hell am I paying for it?
Only kind of. If you are on Mac you can use Safari. On Windows your options are Firefox or other versions of Chrome (Edge, Opera, Brave, etc), and Firefox will not work right enough, and it'll drive you to a version of Chrome.
Does she use any sort of cloud photo storage already?

If she has a Mac, she can print them straight from the macOS Photos app: https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/order-professional-pr... (but not from an iPhone, apparently)

If she uses Google Photos, she can print it right from the web interface (just select a few photos or albums and click the order prints icon) and she can checkout straight from there and have it shipped to her house. It's also available from the Google Photos app right on an Android phone.

If she's not using anything like that already, it might be a lot harder :( Maybe she can just make shared albums to send to you, and you can order prints for her?
> No one should be able to buy themselves a carve out from the law

Yet this is the reality as far back as I can remember. The gravity of that much wealth inevitably distorts the fabric of the legal system.

We've seen stuff like this play out over and over again among rich politicians, celebrities, CEOs etc. We also see it with wealthy businesses that cynically violate the law based on a favorable cost benefit analysis, not to mention their pervasive lobbying that literally defines the law. Even among the less affluent classes, we still see a stratification in practical impunity to break the law since e.g. it's a lot more tempting to speed if a speeding ticket is as trivial as a plane ticket. In our system, everything has a price.

However, if Musk was an illegal immigrant (yes, violating the terms of your visa is illegal, and it's the most common form of illegal immigration) I do think Musk's hypocrisy is quite disgusting. I can admit that if he were more humble and respectful of the immigrant experience he shares with those he maligns, I would be more sympathetic to him.
Hmmmm. I like this.

Could it be done as a non-profit perhaps? I mean we clearly can’t do the licence suspension and the jail time that way but we could maybe shame the scammers?
It's true though. Another great thing is that the IP will have regular white rice done much faster (~15 minutes for perfect rice).
Bcrypt is still perfectly usable for its original purpose. They just picked/wrote a bad implementation that silently truncated inputs longer than the maximum input length. Would you also ask why they picked AES (a cipher from 1998) when the error was with the user (e.g. picking fixed/too short key)?
I absolutely agree that the chat UI is horrible, and somehow chat = AI to do many people right now.

My hot take is that, FEM is best used as unit testing of Machine Design, not a guide towards design that it’s often used as. The greatest mechanical engineer I know, once designed an entire mechanical wrist arm with five fingers, actuations, lots of parts and flexible finger tendon. He never used FEM at any part of his design. He instead did it in the old fashioned, design and fab a simple prototype, get a feel for it, use the tolerances you discovered in the next prototype and just keep iterating quickly. If I went to him and told him to model the flexor of his fingers in FEM, and then gave him a book to tell him how to correctly use the FEM software so that you got non “non-sensical” results I would have slowed him down if anything. Just build and you learn the tolerances, and the skill is in building many cheap prototypes to get the best idea of what the final expensive build will look like.

What I found interesting was that, when I tried it, the X-Ray prompt did pass and executed fine in the the sample cell some times. This makes me wonder if this is less about bruteforcing variations in the prompt, but rather about bruteforcing a seed with which the inital prompt would have also functioned.

I also studied FEM in undergrad and grad school. There's something very satisfying about breaking an intractably difficult real-world problem up into finite chunks of simplified, simulated reality and getting a useful, albeit explicitly imperfect, answer out of the other end. I find myself thinking about this approach often.
Just because everyone uses it for that purpose doesn't automatically make it the best tool or the right tool for the job. In the beginning when it was a spreadsheet that meant to do spreadsheets stuff it was fine because it fulfilled that purpose. The problem is users who failed to learn any other tool continued to use it for things it was not adapted to do. Microsoft being a company that likes money and it simply being a piece of software means that they could adapt it to do all kinds of things that are better fulfilled by a different tool. Just because they adapted it to make it a database and a spreadsheet hybrid thing doesn't mean it was also the right thing to do. It was the thing to do that made them money and have them capture market share.

Overall it allowed a segment of the population to continue to remain ignorant of all of the other tools available that were better suited to their needs. It also allowed them to remain ignorant for all the methods to relate data between multiple tools that are adapted to do their jobs better.

So ultimately the only people this has really benefited is Microsoft. the users believe that they're getting a benefit but it is actually a net negative because it discourages growth it discourages learning it discourages understanding the best tool for the job outcomes.

It literally is the axiom of if the only tool you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail personified to the maximum extent possible.
> Generally things that you mail a payment for

I’m sorry but this sentence makes absolutely zero sense to my europoor brain.

What do you mean when you say mail a payment and why would you need to do that. I literally lack the imagination.
I dunno.

I find speaking to computers (say Alexa, Siri, Cortana, …) to be tiring compared to speaking with people and slower than typing.

Typing in VR with visual tracking or controllers is practical if you need to log into something or bash out a Tweet, but you want to get a real keyboard aligned with your space if you are going to type much.

The myoelectric device that was used with Meta’s Orion demo could lead to something better, you can get signals from a EEG or my electric array and train it and train the human to communicate in symbols across it. With a direct brain interface, do any better.

Some of my distinct style as an HN commenter comes from my perpetual fight with my iPad. I am sitting in the couch holding it in landscape mode with two hands and typing with just two thumbs. I can do it crazy fast. The text input system has a predictive model which catches and fixes many mistakes that I make (don’t want to turn it off) but also injects errors of its own. (It just did it.). I don’t catch all of these so you find grammatically probable but semantically wrong errors all over what I write.

You should follow the guidance and use a candy thermometer to kill the nasties.

Once you make a few batches, you can usually eyeball it, different milks will act subtly different at temperature. Heating also changes how milk components can consumed by the cultures. I get milk from a farm that doesn’t homogenize it the same way as store stuff - the skin develops on the surface sooner.

Personally, I prefer to use a yogurt maker that keeps it at a consistent temperature. But you can make great yogurt in a variety of lower tech scenarios.
I see you point. My line of thinking was, SEO has become such an optimization game that websites have become less usable in order to rank higher in many cases.

So, it would be logical to think over time, content friendly to AI bots will be favored over anything optimized for humans.

Now, I don't know what incentives will be put in place for content creators by AI companies, because if no one is viewing pages, then no one is viewing ads so what pays for all this content... no idea?

Maybe AI companies will need to adopt a Spotify type of payment model where authors are paid cents each time their content is referenced.

I’m going to read the rest of this. I’m enjoying it. But, simultaneously, part II has me so triggered - it bears striking resemblance to repeated situations I’ve encountered where the meaning and content of columns in a relational database were overloaded in varying degrees of heaviness (which is a practice I absolutely detest) - that I need to take a short break.

I'm not OP, but I consider your response quite reasonable.

I found your reply informative and specific, though I took a more fundamental approach in my response to OP, focusing on components required for a "rule of law" compared to a "rule by law" (kafka/soviet style).

I've done a lot of historic reading, and any time those components fail, violence increases proportionally to the lack of agency for non-violent resolution available.

It may just be speculation on my part, but given the repeated cycle, and detailed accounts, it seems there are parallels in objective measures of these components compared with witnessed events, which are what citizens use as a signal to determine whether they take violent action.

The events seem to follow quite accurately along what's been written in social contract theory, and from Thomas Paine's time & writings.

Obviously these type of writings are from times that are dark and violent, and violence benefits few if any which is why there's good cause in trying to prevent that kind of degradation in existing systems, and the dynamics that cause it.

Thanks, you completed my bingo card.
I read it but ohhhh my gawwwwd what compels you all to write stuff like this about an employer, why is this any part of your identity at all? This is the opposite of having a life.

Serious question, what is this mentality?

tl;dr Look at this guy! He left a job without another job lined up after making half a million for 4 consecutive years! but only thought it was a big deal because he learned how to write but was disillusioned by his masters in other ways.

Really, I don't get resignation posts. Like the ones on linkedin, or other social media. Just surreptitiously go like all the other people who just weren't there the next day. Whose slack randomly said (deactivated).

Live your life

But sure, whats the other perspective?
It shouldn't be too hard to design shaft free knob control where the actual control is behind a flat panel and it is coupled to a knob on the front of the panel that is held and place magnetically, and turns the control behind the panel magnetically.

The knob then would just be a plastic disk with magnets embedded in it. If something spills on it you could just the knob away from the panel and wash it by hand or toss it in the dishwasher, and use a towel or cloth to wipe off the panel.

> C certainly could have added support for nested comments at any time

After C89 was ratified, adding nested comments to C would have risked breaking existing code. For instance, this is a valid program in C89:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
/* /* Comment */
printf("hello */ world");
return 0;
}

However, if a later C standard were to introduce nested comments, it would break the above program because then the following part of the program would be recognised as a comment:

/* /* Comment */
printf("hello */

The above text would be ignored. Then the compiler would encounter the following:

world");

This would lead to errors like undeclared identifier 'world', missing terminating " character, etc.
Religions like to do that :( Early Christians (catholics) did the same to Greco-Roman temples all across the ancient world.

And with that you wrote the best reply to your own comment. Great programmers of the past wrote amazing systems just in assembly. But you needed to be a great programmer just to get anything done at all.

Nowadays dunces like me can write reasonable software in high level languages with plenty of libraries. That's progress.

Similar for mechanical engineering.

(Doing prototypes etc might still be a good idea, of course. My argument is mainly that what works for the best engineers doesn't necessarily work for the masses.)

It's not a coincidence. Same incentives are at play, same justifications given - except when it comes to computers, even tech people seem much less willing to question them than their equivalents in other areas of policy and enterprise.
I worked somewhere that had a lot of this sort of thing going on once. You cannot overestimate how hard it is to get anything done: politics and organisational dysfunction, not to mention that you probably don’t have access to half of what you need to in order to fix any given problem and are even more unlikely to be able to get it, mean there are just huge scads of problems that, on the face of them, look relatively straightforward to solve but which, in practice, are organisationally impossible to solve.
