That saying said, people often wrongly call technical problems social, being blind to obvious technical flaws that drive users into various directions. They attribute it to some inherent user property when in reality it’s a technical nuance of a system that does it. Most problems include a user behavior, but most user behaviors include the shape of some existing solution.

> It doesn't matter how potent it is if nobody wants to take it.

Nobody? I can't agree, lots of people want to, and do "take" exercise. Most of my friends are super active and they look good and feel good and are living really healthy lives.

It's true that a lot of society is set up such that we can totally avoid exercising, but on the flip side we've probably never had more access to great ways to be fit that are tailored to personal interest, aptitudes, needs.

Sadly I agree that most (north Americans at least) are extremely under-exercised, but it is a choice.
Django admin is particularly fantastic in the first 100 hours of a project.

I think it offers a lot of the same developer experience and convenience that the rails generators do, though obviously in a different way.
I wish the article mentioned Computer Nude (1967) by Ken Knowlton. It isn't ASCII, but it is a text mosaic. It was widely circulated at the time, was the first full frontal nude printed in The New York Times, and was somewhat important in the development of computer graphics.

One way to test this kind of efficacy is to compare it to a known sample with a missing piece, e.g.: create an artifact with known text, destroy it in similar fashion, compare what this model suggests as outputs with the real known text.

The "known" sample would need to be handled and controlled for by an independent trusted party, obviously, and therein lies the problem: It will be hard to properly configure an experiment and believe it if any of the parties have any kind of vested interest in the success of the project.
Moving inner city and getting rid of my car changed my life. I walk every day now, lost the excess weight and live a lower stress life.

It’s hard to overstate how poisonous cars are to your physical and mental health.
Its not even remotely true. A lot of people before the invention of modern medicine did considerable manual labour and yet died at a younger age. Bang for the buck the most effective intervention is definitely vaccines, they are responsible for most of the longevity and the enormous reduction in childhood deaths we see today. Exercise is a mere blip in comparison to the effectiveness of vaccines and worse is a lot of the studies to do with exercise are low and very low quality because they are observational with relatively small effects leaving them prone to bias.

That isn't saying exercise doesn't improve health it looks like it does, but compared to other pharmaceutical interventions its not very impressive.
algolia has done the same for their discourse forum, moved everything to discord and removed all old posts.

The site offers a little more detail:

Basically its server sent events with some stuff on top:

One big benefit of SSE is that you can put them behind a CDN, making scaling a lot easier. No idea about what Mercure brings there, though.

I thought this was called salami slicing in publication.
While I can’t speak for GP, I had a similar reaction - though admittedly I wouldn’t describe it as “relieved,” more of an “okay, good to know this isn’t anywhere near the top of the priority list” feeling.

Essentially, in comparison to the other potential/likely effects of climate change I’m aware of (mass deaths of pollinators causing a collapse of the global food infrastructure, large percentages of the world’s arable land becoming non-viable leading to mass famine, heat waves bringing lethal wet-bulb temperatures to large populated areas, collapse of the AMOC, increased wars and global conflict due to space pressure, large-scale droughts and water scarcity, etc) it just doesn’t seem that bad. It’s awful and terrifying, to be clear, but it doesn’t really compare to some of the other effects we’re going to be dealing with over the same timeframe.
This principle (Make the secret a lot more trouble than the trick seems worth)is among others that Teller discusses in this great article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/teller-reveals-h...

In the age of LLMs there is no point in writing long prose. The more content is generated the more people will move to higher information density formats. Why bother with generating long text if the reader is going to summarise it with a LLM anyway? OTOH - citing Ben Affleck: "why would I bother to read something you didn't bother to write?"
I see you can’t answer voxtech’s question, because your entire position would crumble to dust ;)

I hope you’ve had a chance to reflect and learn from this. Your responses and logical reasoning here has only made you look foolish. HN seems to agree, though people have actually done you a favor by flagging ~8 of your comments to death!
It's funny. Some of the physical wall art I collect has a similar character of walking the line of tacky, like a psychopathic 16-year-old bully's pin-up spank fodder from the '80s, to exuding inherent value independent of sexuality. It goes between the authentic Soviet propaganda posters and the defunct radio station stickers signed by Frank Zappa.
There may be occasional problems with even the best public transit system. But even if the public transit system is completely failed, living in a dense urban environment is not a prison. You can reach a grocery store, a restaurant, a movie theater, a bar, a drug store, a park, your friend’s place, or whatever else you need within walking distance. Even a person with limited mobility can reach everything they need. Public transit is only for things you need occasionally that are a bit further away.
If you publish something, you by definition intend people you do not know, the wider public, to read it (if you really wanted to share your thought with that one person, publishing is not required).

Choosing to do something that affects someone else while being unaffected by how they react is not normal and indicates sociopathy.

People paying attention to how they affect others, how others react, and changing as a result of their feedback is basically how society exists. Most people are wired for this. People who are not wired for this… There is nothing stopping them from hurting someone for personal benefit, for example.
I don't disagree with you but as someone who has thought a moderate amount about data security at a "bigco", I will point out something I haven't seen people really talk about...

Audit trails (of who did/saw what in a system) and PII-reduction (so you don't know who did what) are fundamentally at odds.

Assuming you are already handling "sensitive PII" SSNs/payroll/HIPPA/creditcard# data appropriately, which constitutes security best practice: PII-reduction or audit-reduction?
Any time I hear this sort of argument I just have to roll my eyes and point at a map of the Baltics
I find that’s only true for the first few months of training while you get the beginner gains. Running half an hour a day was by far the biggest contribution to my weightloss once I finished the couch to 5K program and my diet settled down. My body adapted relatively quickly to the new regime just like it did with my sedentary lifestyle but YMMV.

Once you can run frequently without gorging afterwards, the extra 300-500 calorie buffer makes dieting a million times easier.

(Lost 35 pounds in 2024, 90% of it during weeks in which I ran consistently)
have you seen the photos? this wasn't a box of basic fireworks and a can of gas. the bed was loaded with a huge amount of camp fuel and large fireworks mortars.

considering that it was rented in Colorado, parked right in front of the trump hotel lobby with the trump hotel sign right above it, and exploded right after, the simplest explanation seems to be that it was intentional and that causing a scene was more important to them than killing.
It’s not like there are strict rules governing who is allowed to rent a car (you pretty much just need to be old enough and have a driver’s license). Turo makes you take a selfie with your driver’s license within 24 hours of picking up the car. If you find a legal driver with a similar appearance and a copy of their driver’s license, maybe you could engage in identity theft and get away with renting a car from Turo even if you’re unlicensed. But you could do the same thing at an old school rental counter! It’s not like they’re fingerprinting you or scanning your retinas.

The reason I use Turo is that they offer a wide variety of vehicles, and you get to pick out what exact car you’re going to rent when you book it. I’ve used it to rent models that I’m considering buying. I’ve also used it just to avoid repeating the miserable experience of waiting in line at the rental counter for an hour after my flight lands at 1 AM. I can rent something nice, and pick it up from the parking garage next to the terminal.

Anyway, if I wanted to rent a Cybertruck, or any other specific model, Turo is certainly how I’d do it.
In which case the LLM contribution to the $10K/month is equivalent to hiring a mobile developer to build such an app which (given the implied simplicity) should be a few thousands one time cost. Not the $120K/month implied by PP. And don't get me wrong, paying a few dozen dollars to get a few thousand dollars worth of software is quite the value.

Google's equivalent to this is Kythe (https://kythe.io/). Earlier today I had noticed that Kythe ripped out its support for indexing Rust code and wondered what alternatives might exist. So iinteresting to see this right now! And it looks like it supports Rust (albeit via rust-indexer).

From the reports I've read, the combustible materials consisted of large fireworks and some unpressurized fuel canisters. I'm not an expert in this field, but it seems that these materials, in this configuration, wouldn't create a large explosion outside of a Michael Bay movie. If placed correctly, they could have damaged the facade of the building via heat. If they had put them in a common 50 gal. steel drum with no lid, I suspect the results would have been much the same.

Why did he post it? Why did the attacker choose a CyberTruck?

If we are going to open up on speculation, then it seems reasonable to suspect that the attacker chose a CyberTruck because of Elon's relationship to the incoming administration. In response it makes sense that Elon would highlight the inept execution.

Some partisan responses to the health insurer's assassination have been positive. Even comments on this site seem to be rationalizing the violence. Typically, decent people would condemn terrorist violence as irrational escalation.

Highlighting the inept execution and poor planning illustrates the irrationality of the attacker. If Elon can subtly parlay it into some of the safety marketing or durability of his vehicle, that's an extra win on top.

Compare the narratives:

"Luigi was a smart guy and master planner who read books. Let's plug the author."

I like to say, "Make hunger your friend."

That is the way to begin the process of getting a little hungry and then appreciating it as it grows. Taking that extra time then makes finally eating more enjoyable, in my experience.

And your tip on fully chewing food is subtle but powerful. It's very much in the spirit of being more engaged in the moment, where gratitude settles us down and keeps our worries at bay, for at least some small moments.
> García Ruiz notes that their “protocells” form through the action of bubbling, using repeated units of hydrocyanic acid, a simple molecule composed of one hydrogen atom, one carbon atom, and one nitrogen atom.

Does this mean that the bubbles are actually made of HCN? This would be a lot more compelling if we knew the "cell like structures" were made of lipids like modern cells. I can't understand what's going on from this article well enough to tell whether the hype is warranted.

I think this whole thing can mostly be explained by the job titles. What do you expect the "Vice-president of product for generative AI at Meta" to be pushing for?

You'd think last year's Clownstrike incident would put the lie to the efficacy of the fucking-for-virginity approach to endpoint security favored by organizations but no.

At the enterprise level, security isn't really about security, it's about having an audit trail so bad actors can be caught after the fact.

I don't think it's a white lie. Whether he has imposter syndrome is beside the point. It shows he has sympathy for his colleagues who might have it. Maybe he himself had it before which would let him understand even better what it is, and now he doesn't anymore, this would motivate him to make this point.

The point he is making is all the motr convincing especially that he is seen as very good, whether he had imposter syndrome or not.
Yes, but they do so selectively for what's against their interest. The net, filtered result is what's in their interest.

That leaves "mutual assured dialogue destruction" as the only option, IMO.

That sounds like a problem with modern life rather than a problem with exercise.
Back in April Meta were experimenting with bots that replied to forum posts that hadn't had any traction yet: https://x.com/korolova/status/1780450925028548821

Exercise and GLP-1s are very different interventions. To liken them appears fallacious.

Exercise is much more than weight loss; it is heart health, bone health, immune health, etc.

You can walk an hour on the calories of a candy bar, but you’ll get malnutrition relying solely on candy bars.

Healthy nutrition requires more than eating less.

How would the GPU verify it's speaking to a real TPM? You'd need to bake the full set of legitimate EK cert CAs into it somehow (charitably let's say that's a signed blob that the driver pushes in at startup), but that's still going to be a terrible user experience because you won't get media playback if your machine has a TPM that's too new or from too niche a vendor.

I think most people are put off by running. It's just too intense. But if you buy few pieces of equipment like a kayak, a paddle board, a trail bike and rollerblades.

It's interesting to consider what might have happened if GOSPLAN had enough compute power. GOSPLAN used to have an annual planning cycle and a monthly info update cycle. Walmart has a weekly planning cycle and a daily info update cycle. Amazon probably runs faster than that.

It's sort of an article of faith in economics that a centrally planned economy can't work, but there are some rather large centrally planned systems now. Walmart and Amazon are each probably bigger than the USSR's entire consumer economy.

On an annual cycle, GOSPLAN could only provide general guidance - add up everybody's steel needs and tell the steel plants. That sort of worked for big stuff, but not for small parts.
Factories tended to make too many of their own small parts. (Some US companies used to do that - IBM, Remington Rand, and Teletype all made their own screws.)

GOSPLAN never made it to bar codes, either. Today, everything in business is tracked as it moves. GOSPLAN never had that kind of info.
