I was obviously talking about 1979, as the topic is Jimmy Carter. The military could have stabilized the power transition. It's not about what military was doing - it was following the orders, and Shah was just too weak because of illness to give any. Iranian revolution destroyed the country and threw it into abyss of Islamic madness, forced millions to flee and forced the rest under inhumane control of theological dictatorship compared to what the regime of Shah feels like a walk in a park.

Iran was not a dictatorship but a constitutional monarchy. It was also like that before 1953. The only actual coup that really happened in 1953, was a coup by Mossadegh, who falsified the parliamentary elections to gain the power and then threatened Shah when he was not appointed as prime minister.

Now, perhaps he could have succeeded with his coup, but unfortunate for himself, he also made some very stupid moves, that removed the important support he needed.
> The problem with exercise is everything in modern life is set up to discourage it

Psychologically manipulative gamification can address that.

Soon after I got an Apple Watch the reminders and rewards for the activity rings got me to make sure to close all three of them daily. That was 2063 days ago and I've not missed a day.

Before I got the watch I rarely deliberately exercised. I would choose stairs over elevators, and for a while I would do a 10 to 15 leisurely bike ride a couple times a week (but that stopped about a year before I got the watch due to problems with my bike that weren't worth fixing), but other than that it was mostly sitting at my desk or on my couch for me.

I'd get in about a mile of walking during normal daily activities and maybe 2500 steps. Those are both 2.5x to 3x as much after the watch.

What's interesting is that there were no days during that 2063 (and counting) streak where I had to force myself to continue. I got sick occasionally with a cold or a flu (or something flu like--I never got sick enough with flu like symptoms to actually go get tested to see what it was), but never bad enough that I just wanted to stay in bed until it was over.

In the several years before that I would maybe once a year get something that would leave me with no will or energy to get out of bed for a day or two. So something seems to have changed, and increased exercising seems like a decent candidate.
Agreed, but we have all seen the numerous articles about "rails is dead" over the last 5ish years. Devs were really buying that idea and wouldn't touch rails, because the whole dead thing.

I tried hard to find an alternative that could sway me away from rails, but I could not find anything I felt nearly as productive with or enjoyed more. I'm kind of relieved rails is having a comeback. All of the good stuff of rails never really left. People just got too pulled into SPAs and microservices, and rails 8 just showed many who are paying attention how much better things can be.

The group think of SPAs and microservices has been crazy to me. I don't think devs took the time to fully consider how much complexity they were accepting with SPAs and microservices. Certainly SPAs and microservices have their place, but not for everything.
As a German I have access to words like "Moselschifffahrtspolizeimützenverordnung" and that's a mild one :)
> In software, a single bit-flip or typo can lead to catastrophic failure

That's why you have tests for this.

The main problem that i see with software, is that the testing and bug finding part are left to the user.

And, when testing is done, it is done as easy as possible. For example a function must return 5 when it has 8 as an input. They only test for 5 as an input value and 2 or -1 are left to the user to test them.
Yep, if you were at stable weight before, it’s trivial amount of daily exercise to create a 500 kcal deficit which will have you drop 1 lbs /week. People who say exercise did nothing are either lying about amount or intensity of exercise or compensated with increased caloric intake
You can just use the website.

> You'd still need to get the temp above 130-150F for 5-10 minutes throughout

To ensure everything is heated up effectively, without cold pockets for them to hide in, the heat is maintained for around 6 hours. It then can take several more to cool down to normal.
I do think there should be some kind of law, but it would also have to comply with gdpr Right to be Forgotten.

No, but the answer is obviously wrong. Very, very wrong. The lines are not praise. The song's view of the Victory, and of the battle of Trafalgar, is overwhelmingly negative.

> o1-pro was also able to produce a relatively complete version of original source

...as should be clear, if you read the original source. (Or, heck, just the two lines following the ones in the question.) Being able to reproduce the source makes the error look that much worse.

> though, amusingly, referred to it as a ‘broadside’ rather than ‘broadsheet’.

Both terms are used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadside_ballad :

>> A broadside (also known as a broadsheet) is a single sheet of inexpensive paper printed on one side, often with a ballad, rhyme, news and sometimes with woodcut illustrations.
Exactly. I don’t want to waste time on trivial decisions like which frontend tool to use or what templating engine to pick. This is exactly why Go isn’t great for building full-stack apps. Every app in Go looks different because you have to assemble all the parts yourself.

In contrast, RoR or Django provides a nice rubric to get you up and running quickly. That said, I still like Go when I need to spin up a microservice with a well-defined scope.

I find that being sedentary can get you stuck in a weird local maxima where your body hurts, but it hurts even more when exercising (back hurts, RSIs, etc) and so people don’t exercise and they protect their body like it is glass. If however, you can do some moderate exercise (swimming worked well for me) you can gradually build up your strength again and all of a sudden your back isn’t killing you anymore and you are able to strain you body much more without being in pain.

I personally went through this journey where I was sedentary for about 10 years and in my late 20s I could not run, I could not walk long distances, by back was killing me, I had wrist issues. Seeing a physical therapist who could help rebuild my body while starting with light exercise and gradually building up worked for me. I spent 2 months just strengthening my ankles and feet before I could run because they were so atrophied.

Eventually I got past that local maxima and now I can run 25 km with 2km elevation gain up a mountain and back which would have killed me before.

Lastly I will say that exercise should be gradually eased into, a lot of people are put off by exercise because they start too hard and make themself miserable. For cardio you should try to keep your heart rate within a lower range (zone 2 cardio at around 70% of max heartrate). For most people this means your cardio starts with walking up a hill, and you won’t get to actually running until later.
That sounds like it’s talking about the Meta executive in charge of privacy and consumer protection. The AI has developed a parasocial parental relationship with its own executives.

Ask HN: I've lost interest in software, what next?
My profile. Mid-30s, manager of ML team at a Saas startup.

Academic background: ee degree + msc in data science

Professional background: over a decade in financial space and tech doing software and ML

I just have lost interest in this whole thing and any motivation to keep going.

Thinking of pursuing something like industrial automation.

Currently married with kids and living in the US on a visa, maybe might get a GC this year if things don't blow up.

What are suggestions on other paths to pursue? Just want to do something more real than enterprise Saas or adtech.
That's not acing the question. It's completely incorrect.

What do you think the singer in "Friends in Low Places" meant in the toast he gave after crashing his ex-girlfriend's wedding?

Nudes are not always porn, but that doesn't mean they can't be porn either. Ultimately I would say it comes down to whether the intent is to titillate, but of course porn is notoriously hard to define.
That's the "observable" universe. We don't know exactly how big the universe is and whether it has a limited size in the first place.
> A spiritualism that tries to pass simple checks should either actually predict "physical reality" and thus become science, or drop any pretenses that it can be observable in the "physical reality", thus going firmly into the realm of not even fairy tales but of strictly internal experience of an observer, hence becoming solipsist.

The above works if you disregard that all observations of “physical reality”, any models, and the meta mode of attending to reality that leads you to structure your models in a particular way and choose which experiments to perform, are all a product of your mind and start treating physical models as gospel.

Natural science is about making predictions, not speaking truth. It offers models as a shortcut to predictions, but does not even claim to offer complete knowledge or “true” models. The territory is unknowable, all we have is maps, and all maps are wrong (physical models being a special case of maps). Natural science by design is not equipped to get us to any true reference points, and becomes remarkably useless as soon as our mind gets under the spotlight—though what it does do is provide us some useful maps (notably, “useful” as defined by our minds. You see the pattern).

It is a struggle to live a life given such uncertainty. We have options as to how to represent the territory, and so we go about it with varying degrees of rigour.

A seemingly popular approach of just taking the current models provided by natural sciences and using them as a proxy of truth does not score high on rigour in my opinion, since it strikes me as taking physics as a poor surrogate for religion.

Thus, I personally have no problem with spirituality, unless it flies in the face of observations and fails to offer sound philosophical reasoning. Like in physics models are shortcuts for predictions, spirituality/religion could be considered shortcuts for philosophy (with a degree of charitability, depending on the views one holds), and reducing philosophy to physics would degrade, not elevate it (after all, natural sciences came from and are subordinate to philosophy, not the other way around).

This is also why being a physicist and simultaneously a religious person (the case with many famous physicists) is not a contradiction.
Not true, on two counts:

- one, your body may crave more food because of the energy loss - the Lipostat model suggests that your body has a target weight (well, fat level, more precisley), and will adjust hunger up if calory expenditure goes up

- your internal processes use way more energy than you can consume through exercise in a modern lifestyle (2000+ calories a day just from sitting still, for many adult males), and there is a lot of room for the body to adjust those up and down to make up for the extra exercise to keep up your current weight. So if you consume 2000 Cal a day with 0 Cal from exercise, with moderate exercise you will end up conauming 1600 Cal a day from internal processes + 400 Cal a day from exercise after some time (a one time run will absolutely consume extra, if your run every day, you'll get less and less extra Cal from your runs, until you reach about net 0, assuming you're not increasing the amount of exercise constantly).
If they’re high margin businesses that can lock in customers it can work out for them. That’s why VPN sponsors do so well: very high margins and the deals they advertise are typically multi-year upfront payments so the signups immediately repay the advertising cost.

The worst examples are low-margin businesses that have high churn, e.g: food subscription boxes. Hello Fresh etc have extremely high churn so they’re paying advertisers orders of magnitude more than they make per sale. That’s why they’ve moved from “free trial” offers to things like “free desert for the lifetime of your subscription” to spread the cost of the offer over the lifetime of the subscription (but even that doesn’t make the model profitable).

Rule of thumb: when advertising via influencers (YouTube, podcasts etc.) assume you will receive a single payment from each customer before they churn. If the first (and only) payment the customer makes doesn’t cover the advertising cost (and operating costs) it’s a very bad idea. Free trials are the worst option because it’ll go from 1 payment to 0 payments.
There's no such thing as a 5km marathon, that's a contradicition in terms. However, if one were running 150 minutes a week on a regular basis then a (42km) marathon would likely not be too intimidating a prospect. Suffice to say, most are not getting in their doctor recommended level of exercise.

You are right. But. I know Ivy League educated compsci kids 22-25 with "e/" shit in their social media, working for giant companies whose products you use, who think vaccines should be optional / revoked. None think exercise is bad for you.

That's the problem, isn't it ? Nobody wants to assume liability. They all want just the profits.

>The core problem is that you’re deciding for yourself what the company needs instead of doing your job. Isn’t it your job to make your team run smoother? No! Your job is to execute the mission of your company’s leadership.

Such a massive oversimplification. If you spend more than 8 seconds thinking about this, it's obviously stupid.

Uhh, OK? So I should bump up against inefficiency rather than fix it, so I don't burn out? Ridiculous article. Wouldn't be surprised if this article started life as a LinkedIn post.
The only thing being claimed is that exercise doesn't significantly help with long term weight loss.

That doesn't mean exercise isn't extremely important for your health. It is, in a myriad ways. Even the mechanisms that make it not help with weight loss are some of the reasons why it is so healthy - it's taking away calories from metabolic processes that are more harmful than helpful.

Martin Fowler calls it Bliki: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/
Different cultures each have their own standards for what is and is not considered offensive, and each culture thinks that its standards are correct. That isn't hypocrisy, it's just how this whole topic works. There are no two human cultures in history which have entirely agreed on what is and isn't offensive, so why do people feel the need to pick on Americans specifically? It strikes me as extremely narrow-minded.
The problem is finding fresh blood who want to write C#. RoR or Django is a much safer choice in that regard. This OO/DI stuff has fallen out of fashion (whether that’s good or bad, I don’t know) and very few enjoy working with these constructs anymore.

They don’t actually allow you to access more things in less time. They reshape cities to spread things further out so you spend the same time accessing the same things, but you get there by sitting in traffic rather than walking or riding a bike.

When I used to live in the suburbs it would take me 15 minutes to drive to the supermarket. Now I can walk there in 5 minutes. Walking is faster and healthier than driving.
Rust is great for pet projects. Otherwise, it is a big security risk for large commercial projects, since it lacks a useful standard library and any non trivial program needs to download a thousand crates to work.
It's really not. Weight, atleast if you control for muscle weight, is an extremely good predictor of health issues at almost every level. It's a huge problem for your body both in many complicated internal ways, all the way to simple mechanical ways, putting increased stress on most of your joints and bones.
The author is correct in that media DRM is tied to GPU vendors on the field right now.

But hardware backed DRM can be so much more invasive beyond that. I have no doubts the long term goal of MS is to have a Windows version of Play Integrity.[0] So total control over everything that happens on your device. Just to give an example of what could happen if this becomes reality: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Environment_Integrity

This tech extended to browsers could easily mean that sites could refuse to serve you if your machine is running any bigcorp unapproved software. An easy example of that would be adblockers.

Unless we get lucky with secure world compromises like the Tegra X1 bootrom exploit[1] or get real good at passing legistlation that forces companies to give you all the private keys to your own machine, the future for personal computing is looking grim.

you are correct, I pasted a link to the ATF saying so in a parallel comment.

it’s not explicitly called out in the law, like you’re noting. rather that personal, non-commercial use just isn’t covered by the law. So legal/exempt.

Other situations, like non-personal, non-commercial use are covered - distribution requires licensing even if not paid, same as import/export, doing business in explosives, etc.

Where some YouTubers and the like have gotten in trouble is when they start making money off what would otherwise be personal use (like showing videos of tannerite usage, or some other synthesis), but funny enough if they get demonitized and aren’t using it for some business purpose, they’re fine.
Started using code-server on a remote server. Pretty good. Going to switch working like that.
Its a bit like remote vscode only that the vscode ui is also remote and served via a web browser. Coming from intellij I was surprised that the user experience in terms of responsiveness is actually better with the remote setup. IntelliJ these days just lagging on everything.

I believe the FSF points about selling software come from a time where you sold the medium (like floppy disks) with the software: you had to allow doing this because it was not practical to spread software without doing this and not costing (too much) to the author.
