> It's all calories.

Except that it is not. X calories of refined food would contribute more to weight-gain than would X calories of almonds.

Taking directly from Dr Giles Yeo's book:

I’m not asking anyone to count calories at all, because the number of calories, simply taken in isolation, and out of context from whence they came, is not a particularly useful piece of information. Don’t get me wrong, calorie information does of course have its place. For one thing, calories are useful in quantifying portion sizes, so a 200-calorie portion of French fries will have twice the energy as a 100-calorie portion of fries.

[...]

[We] now know that the Atwater factors, both general and specific, are inaccurate, because they don’t take into account diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT), which is the energy, given off as heat, that is required for the metabolism of food. Fat has a DIT value between 0 and 3 per cent, meaning that for every 100 metabolisable calories of fat, it will cost between 0 and 3 calories to process. The DIT value for carbohydrates is between 5 and 10 per cent, meaning that for every 100 metabolisable calories of carbs, it will cost between 5 and 10 calories to process. While protein has the highest DIT value at 15 and 30 per cent, meaning that for every 100 metabolisable calories of protein, it will cost between 15 and 30 calories to process.

I remember building my own track ir with ir leds and a floppy in front of an old webcam. This was more than a decade ago, but I would have assumed there is no more demand for this since VR headsets are a thing(I completely left gaming and everything about it since then).
Anyway, great work!

Having gone from managing several thousand physical to virtual/cloud instances, there are certainly major differences and the company has to structure its approach accordingly (IMO).

On premise in my opinion needs a dedicated team managing hardware and leverage solutions to provide that as VM's/Containers/etc to teams. Another team focused on OS level security and base image, then your dev teams can effectively focus on their app and leverage the automated tools provided by the hardware and OS teams.

Cloud gives you at least half of that, or all of it depending on your approach, for a cost. There are points where the cost makes sense and times when it doesn't, and typically that changes through the life of a company. Unfortunately there is a not insignificant overhead even with current tools to maintaining a truly substrate agnostic infrastructure that can be deployed on top of multiple clouds, on-premise etc... so companies are locked in even when economics change.

> these laws are largely ineffective at stopping actual money launderers.

Let's think about what the purpose of money laundering laws is. Nobody really cares about people concealing the source of their income in the general case. There's no purpose for money laundering laws just for that purpose alone.

The reason that money laundering laws exist is that one way to discover and prosecute crimes that people actually care about (human trafficking, drug dealing, various kinds of fraud, terrorism) is to "follow the money", and if criminals can successfully launder their money, it makes it easier to get away with their criminal activity.

The second reason that it exists is that money laundering _itself_ is often a much easier crime to prosecute than the underlying offense is. What KYC and AML laws do, and are extremely successful at is _not_ preventing money laundering. That would actually be undesirable for prosecutors! What KYC and AML laws do is allow people to money launder while creating a wonderful paper trail for prosecutors to follow and build a case on when they take an interest in someone from crimes they actually do care about. Chances are if you are money laundering, you have at some point lied on a banking form, which is a prosecutable crime, and a lot easier to prosecute than drug dealing and other crimes are, sometimes.
I once read an article about how some Nintendo Famicom developers in the 80s used to program their games without a keyboard, just using some kind of joystick or trackball to select the characters on the screen. Knowing that, this doesn't look that bad.
Also, in a linked post [0], it looks like this still uses water in a closed loop heat exchange system. It just won't evaporate for cooling.

To be clear, I still consider this laudable and hope to change our house to use a heat exchange eventually, rather than a furnace plus air conditioner pair, per Technology Connections' advisement [1].

We also had anti scientific movements that opposed to the destruction of olive trees in a radius big enough to prevent the bacteria to spread to other plants. Farmers also tried to delay the process of trees eradications by packing the judicial courts with appeals. Some singers (such as Al bano, I think caparezza as well) also expressed to listen to the farmers and to not touch the olives, when scientists has been saying for years "listen, we don't have a cure, we can't cure the plants, we can only contain it before it spreads to wider areas".

This anti scientific behavior and this thinking of "farmers might know better than scientist" that is not only false, but dangerous when expressed by a public figure such as a famous singer, are what I were complaining about in a different comment about people being ignorant in scientific fields in italy and almost being proud of it [1]

I had some fun trying to get this to work with prompts based on specific brands etc. It felt like it had a pretty good attempt at a Fender Jazz Bass and a Moog Mother, but struggled with a Juno 6. Is that pure coincidence or would the model be able to understand the semantics of specific instruments and things as well as more generic terms?
I didn't even think about that when writing the comment. But even the great Jobim had some duds. More importantly, I think the career of Jobim proves the original user's point. He was without any challengers the best composer of the 20th century, and he released different versions of many of his songs. Something which was not uncommon in the past. So why don't modern stars for example invite another popular singer to sing their song and release such a version?

How do you know which is which. Public suicide is often the last resort of calling attention. If you are asking "Why would they do that?" the answer can be that it is an act of protest so that the public rises. The latter (hope in a public rising for an ideal) will probably be the bad bet, the «poor [judgement]». Sometimes it comes out of despair.

HN is a hyper specialized group of people. The average person can not do this and as we've seen devours up misinformation with no second thoughts.
Sounds like drug abuse hurt him.
to be clear - it does have like up to 10megabit per satellite, you could totally stream low quality netflix off this service. the tricky part is having to share it with thousands of people (or around 50km area, to be specific), meaning you're metered to super slow 2g-like service.

this is also a noteworthy nuance because you can video call with emergency services using this satellite connection. that's a pretty rare and exceptional circumstance so they clearly allow you to saturate a lot of the bandwidth for that purpose

still super cool technology. 10mbit is like 9000 texts per second, so even in the most dense areas like Manhattan with 1.3 million people in 50 square km, if everyone texts 40 times a day, starlink still has 10x more bandwidth than that. granted people text more during the day, but it'd still be fine for text-only without media.
Doubly so because most species of albatross are at least threatened and nearly half are endangered. The ethics of poultry farming are dubious for many reasons, but there's no comparison to pushing entire species towards extinction.
> ...psychical activity with metabolic activity

"Metabolic activity" therefore, you can still counter this by reducing your caloric intake to maintain a stable body mass.
Technically, yes, but it's no longer where most organizations index relevant information.

Literally the opposite of what he says. He says it happens too often to too many people, and that mostly it happens to people who are immigrants or don't speak english well or are financially illiterate, or just generally people at the margins, and not to privileged crypto bros.
Not sure why I confused the terms.

FWIU this Superfluid Quantum Gravity rejects dark matter and/or negative mass in favor of supervaucuous supervacuum, but I don't think it attempts to predict other phases and interactions like Dark fluid theory?

The new Sagittarius* black hole image with phase might help with discarding models unsupported by evidence. Are those knots or braids or fields around a vortical superfluidic attractor system? There doesn't at all appear to be a hard boundary Schwarzschild radius.

But that's about not dark matter not antimatter.
That's reductive to the point out outright inaccuracy.

The calories you consume affect your weight differently depending on your level of metabolic activity. So the key mediator here is how your body processes the calories you consume.

But talking about calories is wrong in any case. All calories are not the same. For example increasing glycemic index by consuming sugars and carbohydrates will lead to greater and more prolonged weight gain than consuming the same calorific load in protein - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12081852/

It's simple misinformation to focus on calories rather than carbohydrate levels, physical activity, healthy gut bacteria etc.

I used to think I had low quality EMs because they didn't have an IT background. However I started coming across EMs with IT backgrounds that had completely checked out of anything technical.

They'd let their source control licence lapse giving them an excuse to not get involved in shutting down long running PR debates, suggest they can only get involved in a discussion if we were still using XYZ dead language/stack from two decades ago.

And mass initiatives (like university degrees) are created fastest for the strongest signals -- the loudest hype -- and thus tends to overproduce new people just as demand dies.

Does it really work in Iran? That would be a US embargo violation on top of an international law one, right?

I suppose they could make the case that it’s technically infeasible to limit their satellite beam footprints that granularly (like it used to be the case for non-spotbeam services), and that their service limitation works on the basis of billing addresses, not physical cells – except that they seem to be very capable of enforcing that to distinguish mobile from stationary plans, and ocean from land areas.
I am not disagreeing that there are other factors and in some tail cases, like people who take antipsychotics, it may have larger weightings but fundamentally we are talking about caloric intake. I think we largely saying the same thing but with different views.
It will be hard to make a final conclusion. It is more of a research exercise to learn. All we can say is that as the code stands right now Java JIT is faster than C++ clang AOT for this simple map implementation. And all the code, compilation scripts, executions scripts, details, etc. are available in our GitHub so that other people can execute and play with these benchmarks in their own environment, to draw their own conclusions.

"basically in the same category as us in terms of morality". Nah. I use intelligence as a proxy for capacity to suffer. So eating a monkey is worse than eating a cow, which is worse than eating a fish or chicken.

Environmental impact is another facet tho.

If you just think "eating all animals is 100% horrible" then you're not facing the nuances of reality. You can make a realistic change like eating a bit less whales and cows and eat chickens instead. It's not perfect but it's better.

With your all or nothing thinking you might also want to avoid eating all eggs because egg farms are so inhumane for the chickens. Whereas if you buy the eggs where the chickens are treated better like free range, it's still bad but it's far better. And you're helping shape the industry.

I think in order to have a book about music theory, there should be some explanation as to how to make music for some particular expressive purpose and not just the technical details of how to make sounds. A guide to constructing a piano is not music theory. I don't care if it's classical music or techno or gamelan, or if the theory is formal or traditional, if there's not some discussion of how and why to express musical ideas, it's a technical manual and has very little to do with music.

Thanks, but it was a rhetorical question :).

My objections are to the fact that someone had to build this atrocity of a Venn diagram just to illustrate the python ecosystem:
https://alpopkes.com/posts/python/figures/venn_diagram_updat...

And in this very thread, people seem to accept that this is fine. There's nothing wrong with the fact that there are 6 separate tools just for building a package, some support publishing, some don't, some also manage environments or python versions? Which of these are currently supported, which are deprecated, which are going to become deprecated in 2025?

But also there's a tool which only does publishing (twine)? The diagram is not even correct, because conda itself requires package building, except it's about building conda packages, which are cross-platform/language and separate from building a python package.

Why is there a separate set of tools for package management and package publishing?

The blog post is indeed helpful to allow someone new to python to at least see what options there are and roll the dice, but it will also raise extremely serious alarm bells that there's something fundamentally rotten at the core of the python ecosystem.

The fact that I need to read some unofficial post from 2023 to gain an overview of the python packaging and environment management ecosystem is itself completely nuts. And I can guarantee you that by now this blog post is getting outdated, because some mad genius is cooking the new best tool and ready to unleash it on the unsuspecting world.

You're completely reading this wrong.

Yeo and most nutritionist would agree that certain foods provide "higher quality" calories and certain foods provide "lower quality" calories that affect things like your perceived satiation and energy levels.

But at a chemical level, the fat, protein, and carbohydrates function exactly the same way because at the cellular level, there are only so many chemical pathways to produce energy.

So yeah, eating the equivalent caloric amount of almonds vs fries leaves you feeling different levels of energy and satiation. Your body may even absorb the calories at different rates. It'll receive more proteins and fats from the almonds and more carbohydrates from the fries. But if your body expended more calories than you absorbed, the net effect is a loss of mass.
The most recent result on reducing the number of logical qubits is [1]. They show how to use residue arithmetic to factor n bit numbers using n/2 + o(n) logical qubits (they give the example of 1730 qubits to factor a 2048 bit number).

If possible, try more expensive varieties as well. In some cases they're so strong you'll need less oil for a better result (or in my case, same amount of oil but for a heavenly experience). If you can find some online farmers, look for 5lt tins of oil, this way you'll save a bit. I just looked how much would be to buy oil in Tuscany where I live and get it shipped to France and it almost doubles the price, so I guess buying online from italy is a no no
