Really I want to see vegans do a comprehensive investigation of every last nutrient that's disproportionately found in animal products, including random stuff like beta-alanine, creatine, choline, etc., and take a "better safe than sorry" approach of inventing a veggie burger that contains all that stuff in abundance, and is palatable.

I suspect you could make a lot of money by inventing such a burger. Vegans are currently fixated on improving taste, and they seem to have a bit of a blind spot around nutrition. I expect a veggie burger which mysteriously makes vegans feel good, gives them energy, and makes them feel like they should eat more of it will tend to sell well.
Doesn't really support your statement then.
I can't imagine how "time since last unlock" would even work for a device with no passcode, since the user never explicitly unlocks the device. Besides, a reboot wouldn't do anything useful in that configuration; with no passcode, user data is always accessible.
I've found pretty good results with the System Trace template in xcode instruments. You can also stack instruments, for example combining the file inspector with a virtual memory inspector.

I've run into some memory corruption with it sometimes, though, so be wary of that. Emerge tools has an alternative for iOS at least, maybe one day they'll port it to mac.

“This is the new balance of power, Randy."

"You can't seriously be telling me that governments are threatening to--"

"The Chinese have already done it. They cut an older cable--first-generation optical fiber--joining Korea to Nippon. The cable wasn't that important--they only did it as a warning shot. And what's the rule of thumb about governments cutting submarine cables?"

"That it's like nuclear war," Randy says. "Easy to start. Devastating in its results. So no one does it."

"But if the Chinese have cut a cable, then other governments with a vested interest in throttling information flow can say, 'Hey, the Chinese did it, we need to show that we can retaliate in kind.' "

"Is that actually happening?"

"No, no, no!" Avi says. They've stopped in front of the largest display of needlenose pliers Randy has ever seen. "It's all posturing. It's not aimed at other governments so much as at the entrepreneurs who own and operate the new cables.”
Do you have a source for this by any chance? What about Brad Finstad?

I spent a lot of time looking at options in this space for a similar need 1-2 years ago. I really wanted to use Retool but Retool’s pricing and lock in at the time just wasn’t appealing. A few other options I looked at were:

* Plasmic (open source)

* Jet Admin (proprietary)

* Budibase (open source)

* Appsmith (open source)

And a few others. Most had limitations around our need of multi tenancy/team oriented backend, or were too oriented towards internal tools, and I was worried about data lock in with the proprietary ones.

Ultimately I chose to go with Rails with Bullet Train. But this was right before LLMs became kind of the norm to hack stuff together. If I were to choose today, I’d probably pick Plasmic with some LLM hacked together TypeScript backend for a good balance between low effort dev velocity and future proofing, maybe with a BaaS like Supabase+Auth0. All the LLMs seem to be trained on a TypeScript-shaped shallow stack, and static typing gives a bit more protection against LLMs chasing the dragon.
Thanks. Is this not effectively an implementation of the Nyquist Learners idea?
If you're in the kind of environment where you fix all your bugs then you don't have a ballooning bug backlog and the problem never arises. I've worked in places that fixed all their bugs, but to my mind that was more because they didn't produce the kind of product that has P3 bugs than because they had better culture or something.
People really do not understand how expensive it actually is to do a short production run.
Hey, thanks for the question. From what I can tell (and this could be wrong), but it looks like s3ql is using S3 as a block layer. Regatta, on the other hand, allows you to read and write files in their native format. I agree that it's harder to implement than just using S3 for block storage, but I think that it unlocks a lot of potential use cases for customers. With Regatta, we make these semantics performant, which is a huge improvement on the prior art.

The content of the book looks really nice, but I'm not sure why one needs a book that explicitly aims to "engage students" and is also targeted at upper-level undergraduates or graduate students. Surely students at this level have a sufficient level of self motivation to get by... would have preferred to see the same content targeted at first year undergraduates.

We choose NFS purely because it's the fastest way to get broad compatibility with most operating systems (NFSv3, for example is supported on both Linux and Windows). However, I have great news for you! We're simultaneously working on a custom protocol (over FUSE today) that is going to solve the small file problem for things like cloning the Linux kernel git repo. You can actually see in our demo video (https://youtu.be/xh1q5p7E4JY?feature=shared&t=170) that we untar the Linux kernel on Regatta in under 12 seconds. We're hopeful that this performance makes file storage useful for a broader set of workloads.
The public sector is typically air-gapped, so not really.
WebKit never took off on Windows, true, but saying that it was a failure is a stretch. It’s served Mac and iOS devs well in the past 22 years, both as a full-featured embeddable multiprocess webview and as the core of alternative browsers (OmniWeb in the past, Orion today).

The reason I believe that moving functionality out of the engine into the browser serves as a moat is because it gives Google more power to exert its will on Chromium forks.

If Blink were fully independent, third parties wouldn’t be beholden to forking Chrome; they could just drop Blink into their bespoke UI. Google’s decisions in Chrome would be entirely irrelevant to these third party devs. As things are now, forking Chrome is for practical purposes required if you want to use Blink, and diverging from mainline presents a risk — the more divergent forks become, the more effort and developers it takes to keep up with patches. Few organizations have the kind of manpower required to move at the Chrome team's pace while also maintaining their own large sets of patches.

This means that every decision in Chrome that forks disagree with adds more maintanence overhead, limiting the bulk of changes to those that are skin deep.

Google may not have intended this effect from the outset but it’s certainly realized the leverage it gives them in the time since.

Is this not effectively an Instant? Are you saying that the instant it represents can be straight up wrong? Or are you saying that because it uses OffsetDateTime, issues are being caused based on people assuming that it represents an input offset (when in reality any such information was lost at input time)?

Also that page implies that they did it that way to align with the JDBC spec, rather than your assertions about misleading documentation.

Thanks for the question. Full disclosure, I'm grabbing this response from another comment:

I have mutual friends with some of the Nasuni folks, and I have a lot of respect for what they do. In particular, Nasuni stores data in a proprietary block format in your S3 bucket, so you can't connect it to existing data sets or use that data directly from S3 out the other side. Whereas with Regatta, we store data in its native format in S3 so you can do these things.

They absolutely do. The cheapest Nissan in the UK is a Juke at $29,775 ( per xe.com conversion rate ). A US-market Nissan Versa starts at $17,995.

Yeah you can see the cooling requirements by looking at their product images.
https://cerebras.ai/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Cerebras_Prod...

Thing is nearly all cooling. And look at the diameter on the water cooling pipes. Airflow guides on the fans are solid steel. Apparently the chip itself measures 21.5cm^2. Insane.
FWIW, any 4U case can be used as a desktop. You can even use a 3U if you don't have a discrete GPU (most desktop GPU coolers extend above the height of a 3U).
So basically, you think:

1. Google must sell Chrome

2. Google must continue to pay the new buyer tens of billions for the right to be default engine

3. Google is disallowed from making a browser ever again

4. Google must abandon Chromium, and their engineers should stop contributing to Chromium because of #3

I feel sorry for Google. The Biden administration is absolutely clueless on how tech works and the Trump administration will hate Google regardless.

The math proof on the front page seems to be wrong. It gets the correct answer, of course, but the reasoning is nonsensical.

It incorrectly says to pick one point A and draw a great circle through it and the “antipodal point” A’ (which is then forgotten about). Then continues and says the great circle “contains A” and one hemisphere must have at least two points. It then asserts that 1+2=4 (!) and therefore 4 points lie on a hemisphere.

Instead, the question should have said to pick two points A and B, and construct a great circle through those. Then continue as before and 2+2=4, QED.

(This is not just a notation thing: A’ can’t, in general be one of the given points since there’s no guarantee that any two points will be antipodal)

To have any chance of having someone distribute your product you need to give them at least 40% margin.

If you are using a distributor in the US (which crowd supply is), and manufacturing in China, you need to pay a 20% import tariff.

For them to sell in the EU you need CE certification (depending on what you need this can cost thousands of dollars).

To sell on the US you may need FCC certification - again this can cost thousands of dollars.

There’s a reason why there’s a big difference between the cost price and actual selling price of products.

And with small production runs, this difference will always be big.

I currently have a campaign live on crowd supply. It quickly became clear to me when I started to crunch the numbers that my initial price point was ludicrously low.

Releasing betas as a public release would not have been something Apple ever used to do.

And I suspect that they were more between a rock and a hard place with respect to "it has been hyped so much, everyone is expecting something, we've promised something. But so far, it ain't great."

Apple of old wouldn't release. Apple now, does. But I don't think it should be necessarily be painted as some kind of deliberate strategy of theirs.
Indeed. A screenshot of the resulting output would have been more useful.

I saw something like this about ten years ago. It was vertical, instead of horizontal. The workpiece was set up on a big slanted easel, and the router unit was supported by only two cables, with gravity pulling it downward. The cable drives were fixed, rather than being on the cutting head, so the cutting head was just a router and a mechanism to push it away from the workpiece. Simple.

Converging series. Shocked the scumbag HR guy into submission
A friend of mine recently went through the typical US process of interviewing while he was in a job (Always take the chance to say you're "tending to your elderly family" or some such in these situations) and landed a new position, though it would mean moving from Kyoto to outside Kumamoto.

This was at a Major Electronics Vendor that is known internationally and who produces... "Entertainment devices".

He walked up to his boss, handed his letter of resignation in, and was told "No, you're too critical to this project, I can't accept this." His response was to say "If I'm too critical to this project then you have failed in your duties as a manager, and it would be very inconvenient for you to have to admit that, so you're going to let me go or I'll make it Very Inconvenient for you by telling the whole team you think they're idiots and that the foreigner is the only reason this release will succeed."

He then didn't show up for a month (new job gave him enough time to take a nice, lengthy 3-month vacation to Korea and back) and his old boss kept calling and sms'ing him... On a number he only used for that job.
yes. What Russia does currently is probing and testing - what it takes to disrupt all the necessary cables simultaneously to create communication breakdown and a lot of chaos, what resources and time it takes to repair (and thus planning the options on blocking those repair resources, etc.) It takes tanks half-a-day to cross the Baltic states to reach the sea. That is the time Russia wants to buy. Once Russian forces are already in Riga, Tallinn, Vilnus, the NATO will have a decision to make on whether to bomb the Russian forces already placed by that time among the Baltic states population.

Suffering is experience, and my own internal experiences are the things that I can be most certain of. So in this case, yes. I don’t know why you’re calling it “mystical” though.

> They'll convert you to their religion by hook or crook.

I have a lot more confidence in my ability to evaluate arguments than you seem to.
> That's not what an exception proving a rule means. It has a technical meaning: a sign that says "free parking on sundays" implies parking is not free as a rule.

So the rule is "Free parking on Sundays", and the exception that proves it is "Free parking on Sundays"? That's a post-hoc (circular) argument that does not convince me at all.

I read a different explanation of this phrase on HN recently: the "prove" in "exception proves the rule" has the same meaning as the "prove" (or "proof") in "50% proof alcohol".

AIUI, in this context "proof" means "tests". The exception that tests the rule simply shows where the limits of the rules actually are.

Well, that's how I understood it, anyway. Made sense to me at the time I read the explanation, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise with sufficiently persuasive logic :-)
Ha ha. He probably means ”at a batch size of 1”, i.e. not even using some amortization tricks to get better numbers.

Yeah, I was not really trying to argue that that was actually the case, so won’t waste time trying to defend the merits of the model I pulled out of my arse.

Alternatively then, perhaps safety developments in cars made them safer to drive around the same time? Or maybe advances in medicine made fatal crashes less likely? Or perhaps there’s some other explanation that doesn’t immediately spring to mind, it’s irrelevant.

The only point I’m really making is that the data OP referred to does not show an increase in excess deaths, and in fact specifically fails to find this.
