Birth Dearth and Local Population Decline
Socially acceptable eating disorders are the foundation of multiple hundred billion dollar companies.

Every junk and fast food company in America sells food that does not satisfy you, is unhealthy for you, has a "taste" that is not easy to replicate at home but that has been scientifically curated to prevent you from reaching the satiation point when you are eating them (like Pringles, "Bet you can't eat just one", but it's all of the foods all of the time), has less nutrition year over year despite artificial vitamin supplementation, and is just a hair less expensive than cooking it yourself with better ingredients.

It's not an eating disorder to eat junk food in America.

It's a symptom of a larger society wide dysfunction that any person who lived in a sane world and was suddenly subjected to would consider demonic/evil/abhorrent/terrifying.

Don't blame the victims. Recognize the blight for what it is.

I love how you have connected the dots between evaluation of ideas, metaphorisation & invention of consciousness. Linking to relevant book.

I've come up with the same, internalised, realisation, based on my relation with religion & science.
Both are a way to describe our world with metaphors (e.g. electric & water currents). At some point, for some people, one is a more attractive way, to describe our relation with the environment.

How? Stringly matching? That's not typesafe at all.
> favor a small language

Yes exactly - somehow internally it grates against my instinct that simpler is always better to have a bolt-on language that layers all its own classes and APIs on top of a host language. I feel like that just can't be better in the long run and it if it is better now it can only be a temporary state of affairs.

But then, I also like Groovy which is kind of the ultimate version of a bolt on language, so maybe I am just ex post facto rationalising my internal preferences.

I don't really think that its for the same use case. I recently wanted to learn more about Jane of Arc after listening to a Rest is History episode about the hundred years war.

I took the wikipedia article and had NotebookLM generate a podcast from it so I can listen to it on a commute.

The other thing I could've done is search for an existing podcast on Joan of Arc, but I challenge anyone here to search existing podcasts and listen to the first, best reviewed one -- I think you'd find more often than not that the average podcast host is _significantly_ more dry than what the generated hosts present. The podcasts that are incredible are few and far between, and I have no influence over the topics they discuss.

Tldr: I'd prefer my top podcasts more than NotebookLM, but prefer NotebookLM to the average podcast host.

Interesting read but the theory about cash going away in 10 years

> Cash, which is awkward to immobilize for policy reasons, will be gone in a decade or two

Is a risky one. The are many culture where cash is the way to pay, you use credit card for internet but everything else is cash. I'm thinking of North Africa, which we have many of these people in Europe. There are also the old people, of course they will be gone in 10 to 20 years but then then I'm not sure it would be ok with the general population. Removing cash would have to bring advantage to be accepted.
That's not the state of today at all, and probably doesn't represent the near or medium future.

Using the unmonitored output of a LLM-translation service for your commercial content, outputting in languages you can't read, represents a big reduction in quality assurance and greatly increases the risk of brand embarrassment and possibly even product misrepresentation, while leaving you with no recourse to blame or shift liability.

> If I was a vendor whose business was at all centered around language or data ETL or anything that involves taking text and doing something with it, I would be absolutely terrified at someone writing a 20-line python script with a good system prompt that would make my entire business's reason for being evaporate.

The more likely future is that existing translation houses will increasingly turn to LLM-assistance to raise the efficiency and lower the skill threshold for their staff, who still deliver the actual key values of quality assurance and accountability. This will likely drive prices down and greatly reduce how many people are working as translators in these firms, but it's an opportunity for them, not a threat.

LLM's don't seem to be on track to be the foolproof end-user tools that the earyl hype promised. They don't let us magically do everything ourselves and (like crypto being imcompatible with necessary regulations), they don't offer all the other assurances that orgs need when they hire vendors. But they can very likely accelerate trained people in certain cases and still have an impact on industry through specialty vendors that build internal workflows around them.
Or cooking it, for that matter.

Plus there's the "processing" of an enormous mobile smelter-factory of nanomachines we call the human body. Chop and grind, add peptides, acid-bath, add neutralizing agent, churn with fermentation bacteria...

Yeah, I know, people usually implicitly mean "artificial" processing, but that's often more about who is doing the processing, rather than what kind of process is going on.
You imply that the technological development will stop, but that's not what happened to flying cars - they do and could exist. Since the 1930s the technology didn't stop developing - aircraft went jet powered, supersonic, to the edge of space, huge, light, heavy, more efficient, more affordable, safer; cars went faster, more reliable, safer, more efficient, bigger, smaller, more capable, self driving; fuel got more pure, engines got more power per kilogram, computer aided design and modelling of airflow and stress patterns was developed, stronger lighter materials were developed; flying cars have been built:

The Terrafugia Transition 'roadable aircraft' from 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrafugia_Transition

Moller SkyCar, of course, which never got to free flight, but was built and could fly.

The problems are regulatory, cost, safety, massive amounts of human skill needed, the infrastructure needed, the lack of demand, etc. A Cessna 182 weighs <900 Kg, a Toyota Corolla weighs >1400 Kg and has no wings, no tail. But if we collectively wanted VTOL flying cars enough to put a SpaceX level of talent and money at them, and were willing to pay more, work harder, for less comfort and more maintenance, we could have them. Bit like Hyperloop; a low-pressure tunnel with carriages rushing through it is not impossible, but it's got more failure modes, more cost, more design difficulties and almost no benefits over high speed train and maglev.

That article states that we don't conclusively know how much the "processing" itself leads to bad health outcomes, versus the nutrient content / hyper-palatability / etc.

But in any case, the situation in space is going to be very different. You'll be eating a highly tuned macro & micro nutrient profile down to the individual calorie. There is no room for junk food or mindless eating. So most of today's problems with processed food will be irrelevant.

Whatever contribution the "processing" plays will eventually be isolated and mitigated with yet further inventions. Yes it's the pinnacle of the scientific reductionism hubris that many people find objectionable.
Looks at resume

Well for starters I was in grocery right out of college as a junior buyer for a major chain that I enjoyed enough but after a bit…

Was curious about digital marketing so I got a small company to take a chance on me where I rose through the ranks at companies big and small until I was in middle management and then…

I got an idea for a business so I started one that ran for 4-5 years before I ran out of steam and then…

I joined a semi-large corp in tech and product and did that for a while but…

My wife took on a super demanding new role and is now making enough to support our family so I’m a fresh stay at home dad.

I’ve got plans for what’s next but it’ll require some more school so once my kids are both in elementary school I’ll be going back to grad school to work in clinical mental health.

Has it all been worth it? Maybe, maybe not. But variety is the spice of life so here we are.

> If you're a morning person managing other people that are not morning people but insist on having daily meetings in the morning, you're an asshole.

This of course raises the question why forcing morning meetings on morning people is an asshole move, but forcing morning people to meet afternoon people in the afternoon is OK.

Can I suggest that maybe we all need to put on our big-boy/girl pants and accept that the world has more people than ourselves? And that this means we all need to compromise from time to time?

It is absolutely impossible to get any team efforts done in a world where everybody insists we all exclusively work in their own preferred style of work.

> Yes the West abolished slavery after embracing philosophy invented by the West. Then it forcibly ended slavery everywhere else that it could.

The reality was a lot less glorious than that. And with a lot of less than glorious moral compromises and cognitive dissonance. Again, I refer you to the founding fathers.

> Yet in modern times we only hear about a particular angle that pushes blame solely on the very cultures and nations that forcefully ended slavery

We don't only hear that angle, it's trivially easy to access balanced and detailed history. Maybe you're spending your time arguing with zealots on social media but the rest of us can actually educate ourselves

> blame solely on the very cultures and nations that forcefully ended slavery

In fairness those societies were also responsible in the first place for the expansion of slavery into an unprecedentedly vast system

Can we just accept that, and not feel so defensive?
Ugh. I was wondering whether it was going to be Follow Through. You understand it was a terribly conducted study, and analyses of the data by other parties have drawn the exact opposite conclusion?

There's a reason why I'm particularly skeptical to what you're saying, btw: we know from pretty high quality research lasting decades that the combination of tutorial instruction plus mastery methods are supremely effective. The big problem is, these approaches don't scale.

Structured recitation in a classroom is basically the opposite of this approach.

On the other hand: Direct Instruction could be a way to hit a minimum quality level in schools which have suffered from instructional quality problems. It's also worth noting that modern Direct Instruction is much, much less recitation-based than you imply.

Just one piece of anecdata: the private school I'm at was much more scripted and regimented around this type of philosophy 15 years ago. The private school down the road is still there. We've really pulled away in performance since broadening methods and doing a lot more of the open-ended inquiry that you look down your nose at. Indeed, the engineering programs that I teach share very few features with DI, and have gotten nationally recognized results.
Yet, in Sweden, I have legitimately forgotten how money looks.

While I, too, believe that words should mean things, I don't think it's quite so cut-and-dry in this particular case. Part of the reason the term could not be trademarked was because it is too descriptive; it's easy for people to put those words together to describe software.

I agree that the OSI meaning is worth teaching. But perhaps not by saying "you're wrong; there is only one right way." Perhaps more like "some people attach XYZ specific meaning to that phrase, please be aware of it. Also, here is some history of the term if you like."

Almost certainly Food of the Gods by Arthur C. Clarke.
To me, much of what you describe sounds like the nature of creative work. Painters sketch, bands rehearse, athletes practice, and there is no academy award for fewest takes in a feature film.

Creative work is enjoyed by embracing the messy process. Frustrations and all. Only assembly lines are repetitive and solving hard problems feels like hard work because it is.

The good side of creative work is it is mostly not boring. Therefore you don’t have to make up high standards to have something interesting to do.

Do whatever it is that will make you the kind of person other people want to work with again. That’s what being on a team is all about.

Hard work feels like work. And it feels hard. Good luck.
As you have just described, accusations of virtue signalling are really accusations of people acting in bad faith by another name - and doing that without evidence of bad faith is corrosive and fallacious. Hacker News even has rules against it because it is not accepted as a valid form of argument. Just because the accusations aren't being levied against someone you're directly replying to here doesn't make it any better.

If you have reason to believe these people are bad faith actors, present the evidence directly rather than trying to sneak it in with weasel words.
At least they're now willing to publish these kinds of fun and creative things. Which was almost guaranteed to be blocked by one of approval chains for several years.
But why ? What app is better on Android than on windows?

I really struggle to see the benefit, android app seem subpar in every way.
Or in certains geos.
I wouldn't say high resolution, but you can get away with some scans with Android.

There are options but the devices are limited (and the applications too)

Samsung S20 series are the last to have it (And I think the Plus is the best one for it)

Going a little older the Note 10 Plus as well (also an awesome phone)

Of the same vintage there are some other devices. You have to look at the ARCore device list and Ctrl F for "ToF" https://developers.google.com/ar/devices

As for applications that can take advantage of the ARCore depth mapping there's RTAB-Map and 3D Live Scanner

https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap/releases/tag/0.21.4 (You'd want the android30 build)

https://github.com/lvonasek/3DLiveScanner/releases/tag/v2022

RTAB-Map is more fleshed out, but has a bit of a learning curve. By far my preferred way of capturing a scan. Be sure to set the values up a little as the defaults are fairly reserved.

3DLiveScanner is more a shoot and done. You capture and it exports all in one with minimal settings to tweak. This was my go to forever before realizing RTAB-Map had builds that worked. It's very capabale for that it is and can get some really good scans setting the res to 2 or 1 cm.

Sample from the S20 Plus https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/polygonal-printer-f2855acc08...

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/truck-in-the-bush-c2f9c1842e...

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/3doggo-and-a-catscan-79f1f12...

Note 10 Plus was a big rougher but I don't know if I had found the size setting at that point https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/house-dd80af1455c74874951953...

As far as I'm aware there's nothing on the Android side slated to contain a ToF depth sensor.

Note: If you have a decent Android at the moment, ARCore by itself with dual cameras does surprisingly well for what it is.

Both of those applications will still do live on device scanning with only RGB cameras. 3DLiveScanner will just work if you want to try it.

RTAB-Map you have to go to Settings > Mapping > check Depth from Motion and then on the main screen very first item make sure ARCore NDK is set as the driver (See note above about tweaking the capture settings). The live scan will look a bit rough but if you capture as much detail as you can and let it process, results turn out much better after the processing.

As far as hair graying is concerned, I don't think that B12 does much unless you're seriously deficient in it.

There's some research in B-vitamins and PABA for hair repigmentation, reviewed (among other things) here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6995950/

But the B-vitamin in question is calcium pantothenate (B5), and that B5/PABA research is very old -- from the 1940s and 1950s. The results were also hardly anything to write home about; a very mild effect at best.

I don't think that there is a reliable chemical agent to reverse hair graying at the moment, but it seems as though it's become possible in theory to target those mechanisms which appear to be responsible...
They're are some extremely callous assholes out there running businesses (as there are in every walk of life) so it doesn't take much effort to find stories of terrible employers taking advantage of underinformed employees. Why would this particular item be any different?

That's a beautiful site and a nice way to put it. But yes, you're right. While my server costs are low anough that just one user could cover months, it's still not sustainable. My plans is to move onto a "pay for what you use system" in the future.

But I have thought about making it self-hosted too. But there already is so many great products for that out there.

I wish there was a perfect way to do this. I despise subscriptions, I dislike pay as you go becasue it's too complicated, and finally, a one-time fee dosent really work when sold as a service as you said. But I guess these are the options for people not willing to self-host.

THIS is a brilliant metaphor. I see it myself, how being tired during the day, allows me to justify avoidance of important conflicts. Instead I prefer do indulge myself in the carnival of LED light, doing things which would have little-to-no priority in the middle of social activities. Without the stimuli & light of modern tech, this wouldn't have a chance to be a thing.

Also, I have started thinking about my Night Owliness, as a manifestation of avoidant character in general. The "waiting till deadline to do a sprint" type of mentality.
