I've studied bonsai with a professional who trained in Japan for a number of years. Bonsai is a well-developed professional craft that should be learned from people who already know it rather than guessed at from absolute first principles (or from completely illiterate/nonsensical web slop, whether AI or not), as most beginners unfortunately try to do.

The known-good techniques that produced long-term bonsai don't in any way whatsoever resemble the naive approach of "trimming" in the hedge pruning sense. This (along with the mistake of growing indoors) is why the vast majority of the public concludes bonsai is a dark art / impossible. Guessing at bonsai is like throwing rocks at a computer hoping that C code will just "happen" somehow.

If you have a sun-facing outdoor garden, know what the term "binary tree" means, and can describe a tree in terms of a data structure (nodes etc), then you have within you the ability to learn bonsai for realsies if you make contact with people who do it in real life. Olive bonsai trees are relatively common in mediterranean-climate bonsai scenes, like that of California's bonsai scene: https://bonsaitonight.com/2023/10/20/preparing-an-olive-for-...

Trees like this are not grown on kitchen counters or in living rooms. _Maybe_ in a world-beating cannabis tent, but the hassle is extreme, and (going back to the topic of this thread), fighting diseases in the indoor cultivation environment is much much harder than outside.
Oops, you "forgot" the rest of the quote:

"After Farage went to the press about the closure, it was discovered that Coutts had closed Farage's account as they deemed him to be "at best seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists". Following media attention, the NatWest CEO, Dame Alison Rose, resigned."

And of course, debanking is not used against any "random Joe", it is a weapon to make sure the random Joe stays nothing more than a random Joe and does not express his opinions or reaches for any political influence not sanctioned by the bankers.
How would you implement separate compilation then?
We should not be using AI at all. It is just the current step in a long path to dehumanize us and reduce us to cogs. Individually, the steps look useful. Taken in full, we see the picture of a society where humans need a machine to communicate to each other, where AI is used to make large corporations even more efficient at exploitation, and where the only purpose left on this earth is to advance technology or go against it.

We should destroy this harmful technology.

It has always been like this—just the end of a cycle, accelerated by the invention of social networks, which broke the monopoly of information gatekeeping and broadcasting, once controlled by a few TV/radio stations and newspapers. Adding to this is the outsourcing of most low-wage industries (so where most of these 18% of voters worked) to Asia. What you call a "low information voter" has always existed and will continue to exist.
We are just making hypothesis here but I doubt its that. HFCS has been looked at a lot and while there are amounts of people that think it can make them sick, I don't believe in normal doses it does harm in the base case.

The easier explanation is that most "treats" are low glycemic as they are paired with a fat. Where with a can of coke you are ingesting 40g of sugar mixed with some flavorings and water.

For your feature meetings the recipe for success is the same as any meetings, have an agenda and other materials people need to review before the meeting to be prepared to contribute without wasting everyone’s time, and take minutes and distribute them after the meeting, the minutes document the decisions made so they don’t need to be rehashed on the next meeting, and the minutes feed in to the preparation package for the next meeting.
It is a lot of work to prepare these meetings and keep them on track, on the agenda items, so that the required decisions get made.

> Processed food contributes more to weight-gain than would the same amount (in terms of calories) of a non-processed one

It's all calories. There is no mechanism by which the body gains mass without an excess of calories. It does not matter the source; the chemistry and physics do not exist by which the human body gains mass without an excess of calories. We are not plants; we do not gain mass via carbon dioxide + sunlight. Mass gain can only occur via caloric intake.

The type of food and additives (ultra processed vs raw) can affect factors like satiation, water retention (not body mass), energy levels (and thus affect expenditure), etc. But for your body to gain cellular mass ("gain weight"), you necessarily have to have an excess of calories (calories consumed > calories expended).
Right - we're in agreement. There are numerous factors which influence metabolic activity, all of them can influence weight gain or loss independently diet and exercise.

We actually start what we call "diversification" (=eating solid food) even earlier in France: we were advised by our paediatrician to do it when the baby was 4 months old.

Apparently if you start early and have him try a lot of different stuff (especially potentially allergenic things like nuts), it causes less allergy problems later on.

It's worked very well for us, the kid loves it and feeding him is quite fun (although certainly messy!)

It's interesting to see how different it is depending on the country though!

Yes. And I needed to know to follow some of the code ("constructions"?) in the OP.
It was during the wave of "Moving costs from capex to opex give C levels more flexibility" movement after the initial 'cloud is better' wave. In retrospect it seems like another of their badly thought out reactions to a situation they caused by short term thinking, in this case the issues caused by trying to reduce headcount on teams supporting legacy and new physical locations while increasing the pace of new locations.

Those costs were moved and ended up higher than the capex costs were to begin with which everyone expected but the decision makers (they brushed it off every time they were asked in company Q&A's). Opex margins became a major issue and the company did performative layoffs and restructuring to appease the shareholders (then re-hired ~1/3 of the laid off staff within the next 8 months because they actually needed them)

The level of 'bad decision leading to bad decision' happening is somewhere between absurd and depressing at this point.
I don’t know of a single country without a military nor a country that doesn’t allow law enforcement to use lethal force. So your statement that most people don’t think they are valid examples of a good killing of someone is disingenuous.
> Why would insurance be willing to PAY you?

It's still calories in vs calories out.

You age and the calories out decreases; therefore, to maintain a stable body mass, your calories in must decrease as well. If you do not decrease calories in, then the result is gain in mass due to storage of excess calories.

Calories in, calories out.

Source? UNH’s entire net income in 2023 was $22.3B, and their market cap is more than 5x the next biggest managed care organization (MCO).

The other MCOs all had net income less than $8B (CVS/Elevance/Cigna/Humana/etc).

There is no way a business earned a profit of $18B just from Medicare and it not being visible on their net income figures.

That is not to say Medicare Advantage is good for most customers (the common advice is to stay away from it), but fantastical numbers don’t help arguments.
One aspect of enshitification being forgotten are companies closing off their data (public APIs, login walls, etc.) because of AI scraping to train models.
Frankly the problem was not in producing a correctly formed SPARQL query; the issue was in the myriad of entity types and relations that the Wikidata project uses and that you need to know about in their detail to use the system. Which often just produces nothing or times out (from the web UI). Not having a previous experience with Wikidata (or SPARQL for that matter) it felt trickier than expected.
I think as these things will get bigger and better much faster than we can learn to discern.
I made an AI chatbot for OnlyFans models. Their fans can speak to "them" via a third party messaging app. It's currently pulling ~15k USD MRR. I built my own GPU infra for inference and I run Llama 3 with a fewshot prompting to get the model to respond like a given OF model, typically using their actual DMs with fans.

Is there a summary somewhere, i.e. what are the overall conclusions from the measurement results?
What does this mean?

Credibility doesn’t fall from the sky… it has to actually be earned by someone or groups of someones. Usually in the course of their decisions and activities.

Librarians don’t magically start off with an unlimited amount of it, such that they can completely ignore these considerations, and experience no consequences.

Even if they truly are all the most amazing, wonderful, honorable people on Earth, their credibility would still be depleteable.
Speaking entirely separately from the CEO assassination case, people often have a flawed comic book villain vision of wealthy people as being universally or unambiguously evil but that's just not the case. Wealthy people are often involved in their communities and actually want them to improve. I can think of a few people where I live who are very wealthy and also very generous, and as a result have touched the hearts of many more people in the community.
Thanks for explanation, I understand your idea better now, but still disagree. I don’t think that the described is actually commonly lacking and, back to the original point, that it is first and foremost related to some form of success. There are lots of social people, at least they are the majority at meetings. And barely a quarter of them are that high on that beaten success/thrive ladder. (And it may be just post-factum confidence in disguise). While social is important, as in “don’t be socially disabled”, I find this importance barely meaningful for what was an initial point of subj, cause it’s in no common lack-of category.

I guess that’s where we see it differently.

I wonder why Andreessen needs to use disinformation to shape opinion if the actual problem is so bad? I find it very unlikely that he does not know how PEP actually works.

Sure, happy to explain. Here's one example. "The mechanism of antipsychotics-induced weight gain (AIWG) is generally hypothesized by the alteration of glucose metabolism and increasing cholesterol and triglyceride levels."

The problem seems to be that people confuse psychical activity with metabolic activity. The body isn't some kind of linear internal combustion engine. Numerous disease processes, medications etc will alter metabolic activity. A classic example is weight loss due to hypothyroidism.

The thing is, it’s only possible to “completely prove something to be true” in math contingent on your accurate interpretation of the steps of the proof and of its outcome.

The proof as a platonic ideal is infallible, but in reality, it gets fed into a fallible meat computer, and in practice, even very smart and careful people do make mistakes, often at the individual level, but sometimes as an entire community.

Two famous examples were apparent proofs of the four color theorem in the late 19th century, each of which were widely accepted for over a decade before being shown incorrect.

We have better tools nowadays, obviously, but these still only increase confidence, which is exactly what running simulations does.

We work exclusively on remote VMs that have no internet access. Well writing the stuff is fine through PuTTY (with tmux+vim), some other guys use RDP with VSCode but it is extremely laggy and I hate it. Some tasks can be annoying.

$job before that I would remotely connect to clients machines through various ways. Most would be a webpage with some terminal emulation in JS, or some web-based RDP (to a Linux or a Windows machines), and sometimes bouncing again to our last machines. And sometimes you get the actual VPN where all you have to do is to run the client (typically IPDiva, sometimes they use OpenVPN) and just run putty to connect to your machine.

That last experience was often painful especially when certain softwares in between you and your work start to fail. Also a lot of those clients had none or very restricted internet access, so it is really hard to get debugging tools. Sometimes your work would just be a loop of "connect, type a few commands, get the web-based terminal messed up, disconnect, repeat" until your problem is solved. Especially, for our needs we set up our own windows VMs with all software needed to connect to all the clients, hosted in our office and accessible via our own VPN. This way our clients would only see our office IP. But that meant one more VPN for everybody and one more "bounce" to do before any work...

Right, it's a programming language the way the lambda calculus or pi calculus or whatever are programming languages—I did understand that much!

I love the idea of having a website like this to introduce people to one of the less popular calculi, and the playground is a great touch. It might be helpful to have an introductory paragraph that explains exactly what the tree calculus is, starting from what a "calculus" is—your target audience seems to be people who aren't otherwise going to go out of their way to read Barry's papers, which means you can't assume as much background as you currently do. As a reference, I'm a casual PL nerd who actually has read academic papers related to some of the less well-known calculi with an eye towards implementing them, so I'm on the more informed end of the spectrum of your target audience.

Have you considered making this site open source? No pressure if not, but if so I'd be happy to contribute to polishing up the landing page. I'm very interested in learning more about this anyway, and I'm more than willing to help!

> My take is this: We present to others, and even ourselves, the illusion that there's just one unified "self"; but really inside there are a number of independent motivations within us. In both cases above, I think there was a part of those people who felt guilty and actually did want to be caught and punished.

I have a different take. Assuming his crime is driven by his beliefs/mission, not being found will not further it. Logically you may argue that it would afford him more chances to carry on but given that we assume him to be driven by strong and passionate belief, he would want to be clearly and explicitly recognized for those beliefs and would want those thoughts to take center stage of public opinion. Carrying evidence also is his way of broadcasting the signal that he doesn't care about getting caught since he did the right thing and has nothing to be ashamed of.

I didn't read the entire paper, but what I was really curious to hear about was battery chemistry, and I didn't see much in there (unless I just missed it.) I've been bullish on LiFePO4 because of the ostensible safety benefits, but it would be interesting if anyone has taken a look at the safety risks of different battery chemistries head-to-head.

I don't necessarily think that lithium ion batteries are inherently unsafe, but even if their safety properties are in fact acceptable on a societal level, it's hard to grapple with how horrifically violent battery fires can be. There was a video going around of a battery fire where someone got trapped in an elevator with, apparently, an e-bike battery that went into thermal runaway. It's hard to overstate how utterly mangled their body was. Even as someone who grew up with access to LiveLeak and other things I shouldn't have seen, that video and the decimated (shockingly alive, but not for much longer) corpse pulled out of the elevator will be sticking with me for a long time (and reminding me to not bring potentially sketchy high-capacity batteries onto elevators, for whatever it's worth...)
I had the same thought actually - what did it for me was realizing that I started to eat meat 3 times a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner all had meat in them, almost always. But when I was growing up in Poland, you'd have meat maybe 2-3 times a week - not because we were poor, but purely because no one looked at a meal of vegetable dumplings(or many other meat-free dishes) as something worse compared to meat - it had the same cultural status as a porkchop. But now I live in the UK and not eating meat for dinner is almost immediately seen as weird, or "oh you're a vegeterian now?" - no....I just don't eat meat for every meal? Why is this immediately seen as suspicious? And again, no one in Poland ever thought of these meals as "vegetarian" - they were just normal meals, not a special lifestyle choice.

See my responses to other replies. Metabolic activity != physical activity.

Theres a moralistic inclination on HN to view complex descriptions of weight gain as defences of sedentary lifestyles and bad diets. Inarguably both are bad, obesity is bad etc. That's a separate issue from understanding why weight has increased globally - independently of dietary changes - including in both wild and lab animal populations - https://www.vox.com/2015/8/24/9194579/obesity-animals
There are other stats in play, too. For example, 30% of Americans know a murder victim. 50% have dealt with gun violence. The jury system narrows down to people who can focus on the law and follow the judge’s instructions. The pool of potential jurors is huge. It’s been rare that a trial has changed counties in any state because too many people in a county have strong feelings about the victim or perpetrator. I could see lesser murder charged being brought to keep motivation out of the trial, though. And yes, rule nothing out (in any trial.)
