Straw man, I shared an article earlier about fructose skipping a step in the breakdown of glycolysis https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42695820. These reviews highlight the different effects of fructose and glucose on serum lipids https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2682989/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8213607/. But yeah I guess I'm just a scientifically ignorant phd

With regards to taste, if there are other differences in the formulation Mexican vs US coke then that's another thing, but the difference is definitely noticeable.

> they more often than not chose the American coke as the better tasting coke

Probably because they grew up with it. People usually like what they are used to. This has to be controlled for. Do the same study with Mexican or European person.

> rationally understand they both are just glucose and fructose in a drink like a cola, in slightly different ratios

if they are so similar then that's even more impressive, because they definitely taste different.

> I have never had Mexican coke, to my knowledge

Maybe give it a try, just in case you can taste the difference.

By the way, taste is important. Warren Buffett famously described how the taste of Coke doesn't linger in your mouth, making you want to drink "3, 4, 5+ Cokes each day". Can't find the original document right now but here is the excerpt: https://x.com/EugeneNg_VCap/status/1652253327034560532.

This is part of the basis of his investment in Coca Cola. It would be interesting to figure out whether this is affected by the choice of sugar.

Yes, but that's an additional check, separate from the one you suggested would eliminate the issue:

If, when you logged into Slack via Google Oauth with the email address user@company.com, Slack checked with company.com whether user@company.com was a valid user that should be allowed to login, then this problem would be avoided entirely because the defunct company would no longer report any valid users.

More to the point, it erodes the value of the system as insurance.

Suppose the insurance thinks that Alice has a 90% probability of an accident and Carol has a 15% probability, so they want to charge Alice six times the premiums of Carol. Then in practice Carol is the one who has the accident and not Alice, because it's not perfect.

But the pool Alice is in is much smaller than the other one, so if they were merged, the combined group would only be paying 10% more than Carol does, which would be serving the purpose of insurance -- spreading risk. Whereas if you separate them, Alice is screwed -- even though she isn't even going to have an accident -- because now she has to pay >$7000/year in insurance rather than ~$1300 when you combine these imperfect predictions with smaller risk pools.

Not at all unusual. They are called resolvers which are rotary transformers which output a sine and cosine signal. You input an AC sine wave and compare the phase offsets of the outputs to determine the rotor angle. Another type is called the Inductosyn which uses a flat coil. My Beckhoff 500W 400V brush-less servos have them as do older brushed Electrocraft servos in a CNC machine at work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolver_(electrical)

Quadrature encoders don't skip counts unless your output is single ended and your wiring is poor leading to interference of the signal. PWM drives tend to make a lot of noise and single ended encoders will see lots of problems unless you take great care. I always use differential signal encoders in our machines here at work. They use an RS485 driver to achieve this in the encoder itself. Aerotech, the main vendor we use for motion control, uses differential signal by default. Never had positioning or counting problems unless the encoder was physically damaged.
>I hate how we got here, but watching my nephews go through this stuff made me realize you can’t cut the kids off completely.

Mine are turning out fine. I don't want them to be like those other children, and I've kept them away from those children. Doesn't seem to have been a problem.

This is a matter of who you choose to socialize/fraternize with, not one of geography. But if you opt for public school, then you have no real choice in the matter.
> People focus on climate change because it is caused obviously and directly by many things we do day to day, like driving and eating red meat.

I think people focus on climate change because it is being pushed through political and business narratives from every angle. Without this type of ideological carpet bombing the average person would tell you everything is fine.

Aside from that, I submit that our contribution to climate change is a small part of it and not, as you put it, caused by many things we do. Your statement makes it sound like we are the one-and-only cause. I am not sure that's the way you meant it. I am not attacking your comment, simply pointing out that being precise with language can be important.

Here's an interesting read:

https://www.dailyhistory.org/What_is_the_history_of_wildfire...

They talk about 1.2 million acre fires in the 1800's and how fire suppression policies backfired. The argument presented is that letting forests burn through is healthy, whereas allowing diseased, old and dead trees to remain actually increases risk factors.

One of the key things various climate change narratives tend to ignore is that these massive fires, which occur in many parts of the world, contribute very significant amounts of CO2 and other matter to the atmosphere. It isn't uncommon for a two-week fire to produce an amount of CO2 that is equivalent to or greater than all the CO2 produced by road transportation in California. So, the culprit is always cars and cows and not the reality that such things as fires are here to stay. This is where mismanaging our forests can have truly negative and deadly consequences.

There are other fires that have been burning for hundreds of years (mines). Here's one:

https://www.iflscience.com/the-worlds-oldest-fire-has-been-b...

None of these things fit the narratives needed by politicians (who use climate change as a tool for votes), business (to make money) and academia (to grab grant funding). Instead they reduce a complex multivariate problem into a silly "human = bad" narrative to keep the ball rolling. If we were truly honest about most of these things the entire cult would collapse.

BTW, none of this means we should not clean up our act. Of course we should. We simply need to stop claiming we are all going to die and we have to save the planet. We are not going to die. The planet does not need saving. And, if it did, we would never be able to do it.
Is this is the report that DoJ didn't want to make public ?
If I'm going to have a $100k claim I'm not going to drive. There is nothing in life worth doing despite it causing a $100k claim. It can wait (or I'll pay for a taxi). However I need to do things and there is a small chance I will do something wrong and thus incure that $100k claim.
I have two kids in grade school and middle school and I see why we have a STEM gap. I have to constantly correct the learning at home in math. Also, I think it's fair to assume that in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China the school kids are actually put on an academic grindset unlike here where there is such little academic rigor or discipline being enforced by the school it makes sense why the k-12 education numbers are as bad as they are in the USA.

It might be worth getting up in front of the kids in middle school + and saying "Hey you're in competition at a global scale here. You're going to have to work your butts off to stay relevant."
Gotcha, sorry, missed that that was your point.
Agreed, the taxes issue is kind of blown out of proportion. I'd rather pay more taxes and have good (/ cheap) healthcare and education to be honest.

It's not the proximity to money, it's the real estate tied to doing that job.

If you want to be the receptionist at Goldman Sachs at their headquarters at 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282, then you're looking at paying $616,250 for a 556 sq. ft. studio apartment. And that's just the housing. If you want to live within 30 minutes of work, you can get that number down to $400,000, but that's also a studio apartment.

Then you have to consider some place to eat - or you bring your own meals.

What about clothing? You need clothing that looks the part.

It's the proximity to real estate, which I guess you could argue is a proximity to "lots of money" as you put it, but... not reeeaaaally...
Thanks for the reply, was actually hoping you'd pop over here.

I don't think we actually disagree on anything. Yes, without reverse circuits you are limited to quasi-adiabatic operaton. But, at least in the architectures I'm familiar with (mainly PFAL), most of the losses are unarguably resistive. As I understand PFAL, it's only when the operating voltage of a given gate drops below Vth that the (macro) information gets lost and reversibility provides benefit, which is only a fraction of the switching cycle. At least for PFAL the figure is somewhere in the 20% range IIRC. (I say "macro" because of course the true energy of information is much smaller than the amounts we're talking about.)

The "20%" in my comment I meant in the multiplicative sense, not additive. I.e. going from 79% savings to 83.2%, not 99%. (I realize that wasn't clear.)

What I find interesting is reversibility isn't actually necessary for true adiabatic operation. All that matters is the information of where charge needs to be recovered from can be derived somehow. This could come from information available elsewhere in the circuit, not necessarily the subsequent computations reversed. (Thankfully, quantum non-duplication does not apply here!)

I agree that energy per operation is often more meaningful, BUT one must not lose sight of the lower bounds on clock speed imposed by a particular workload.

Ah thanks for the insight into the resonator/switched-cap tradeoff. Yes, capacitative switching designs which are themselves adiabatic I know is a bit of a research topic. In my experience the losses aren't comparable to the resistive losses of the adiabatic circuitry itself though. (I've done SPICE simulations using the sky130 process.)
The book’s thesis seems interesting: get more by focusing on doing quality work, launching and maintaining the right products, and factoring your lifestyle.

However, this article just misses the mark completely and starts arguing against “growing too fast” without specifying why. Made me not wanting to read it.
You'll have to be more specific if you want useful answers.

Do you want a remote shell to a development environment? Then yes, there are a ton of iPad apps for that (Blink Shell, Termius, etc). There's also the Working Copy app for some level of repo-based development.
It is not “by that logic,” since the comment specifically referenced “this data”, meaning inertial and positional telemetry collected by insurers from apps like Gas Buddy, as the article references. Introducing external speed cameras is a strawman.
You still wouldn't need a quota so it's not really about underperformers in general but rather an easy excuse.

Sounds like "evidence-free leaping" to me ;)

The point is that cargo cults are far more complex than Feynman's story would make you believe. I had a wrong picture of cargo cults myself exactly because of Feynman and I learned a lot from the article and its sources.

I suspect we are not in a race for a better LLM, but a race to the singularity.

"I. J. Good's intelligence explosion model of 1965, an upgradable intelligent agent could eventually enter a positive feedback loop of self-improvement cycles, each successive; and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing a rapid increase ("explosion") in intelligence which would ultimately result in a powerful superintelligence, qualitatively far surpassing all human intelligence.[4]"

Yeah, I do think that collective action problems summarize almost all of humanities problems though. So if we just found a way to efficiently make decisions as a collective we'd be in a much better situation.

I might even suspect that solving collective action is the great filter that we have in front of us.

Personally I won't mind paying more to buy manufactured goods. My mom told me that a pair of sneakers before the offshoring back in the late 80s usually cost more than $300 in today's dollars. Yes, it was expensive, but I would just buy fewer and use the one for longer time. The reason is that in the long run the manufacturing cost would get lower due to increased efficiency, and loss of supply chain is detrimental to the entire country - and our living expenses will increase overall. Case in point, how much tax do we have to pay and how much inflation do we have to suffer in order to build those super expensive weapons? Part of the reasons that we had $20K toilet and $100 screws is that we simply don't have large enough supply chain to offset the cost of customized manufacturing.

Besides, the US loses know-how on manufacturing, eliminating potentially hundreds of thousands of high-paying engineering jobs - it will also be a pipe dream that we can keep the so-called high-end jobs by sitting in an office drawing boxes all day. Sooner or later, those who work with the actual manufacturing processes on the factor floor will out compete us and grab our the cushy "design" jobs.

Some large chains will only give you rewards points or honor your status if you book directly.

My wife and I just spent several days finding and booking hotels for a 2 week trip with several stops. We searched on aggregators (Booking’s “king size bed” filter was particularly useful) but always defaulted to booking directly with the hotel. Oddly enough, one hotel had no means of booking directly; they only supported booking through an aggregator. One other hotel was offering the same price via Chase Travel, so I took the extra bonus Chase points.

I was surprised to see such a big jump in ClickHouse (up 7 places). Now it's higher than Spark but lower than Hive and HBase (they were trendy around the first half of 2010x).
Yes, but they are all way out of my price range. I have also read reviews and many posts online that show that even these Linux-focused companies cannot support 100% of their own hardware lineup with working drivers.
Alternate explanation: electrical engineering is actually really hard and some parts of computer science look comparatively easier. Plus coding is startups is cool, EE is still nerd as in Nerd.
Yes, this about sums it up. If you take over a domain, you control its registrar records for what its authoritative nameservers are, so of course you can set it to your own custom nameservers and then define whatever MX you want to receive incoming mail flow. You don't even have to go to any effort of configuring working outbound mail. You just need to put up a very minimal zonefile with the MX defined, basic postfix email server with a catchall configuration and then receive any incoming emails for *@domain.com.
You've got the capital costs of having the several lights, built for 24/7 operation, plus the traffic controller. Then you've got to wire that up, and get an electrical connection for the controller box. Plus all the cuts in the pavement for vehicle detectors. Additionally the pedestrian intend to cross buttons and accessibility indicators for pedestrians. And you may need to resurface before or after, and redraw the lines. Likely you'll need signs. Possibly any other curb work that had been neglected, but needs to be done on a new project.

Plus it costs money to do the traffic survey and analysis to decide if you wanted to build the thing in the first place, and to determine the cycle timings. If you need to run an environmental impact report, that's more money on analysis.

Here's some estimates for component prices https://wbt.dot.state.fl.us/ois/tsmo/TrafficSignalBudgetingC... which I don't think includes installation. Probably $50k to $100k for the hardware, but there's a lot of labor, and engineering time.

I've had something similar happen but I was actually hired. One of the rounds was with a super senior CTO-like type, and they questioned me about low level details of building Linux CLI tools, which is something I've never done or really didn't know anything about.

I think the idea was to pick an area the interviewer was super familiar with, and see how you can handle stress, can you say "I don't know", can you make some guesses even in the space you are not familiar with and so on. Is it the most effective way of doing interviews? Probably not. But it's not a terrible screen either for common pitfalls with senior engineers.

> You don't think there will be small schools who want to take them?

Spending a second of logic on it and thinking critically, there won't. Why would a school empowered to be choosy and subject to profit motivations choose the pricier students to specialize that reduce their rankings?

And why do you think a flood of schools arguing germ theory is a lie be a public good?

I went to religious private school and too had teachers who taught some bullshit things. Dinosaurs were fakes buried in the soil by the devil to test believers. Evolution is a lie by the government. And yet by personal experience I'm more learned than the average public school peer I know. I'm a somewhat special person though; I know many in my class that still believe without question. It's not a good thing for society overall to have such "knowledge".

As for why kids wouldn't be able to leave the public schools, some schools will be required to provide transportation. Others won't. Some will be able to be choosy, some won't. You see where this goes? Those schools which are choosey and don't provide transportation will end up selecting the most well off while those unable to be choosy and/or forced to provide transportation will be forced to shoulder those who aren't good performers who don't get into the choosy schools with a transit scholarship.

Just because you think your kids should be limited to the Bible or no phones or no social media or no d&d or whatever arbitrary limits / moral panic you impose, does not extend those limits to other kids in any moral fashion. Those kids have full rights to have whatever they have and you are indeed the bad guy for your arbitrary limits if they are not common or inhibiting socially.
If you believe that making false claims of an opposite-sex identity is a harmful lie, then being compelled under threat of punishment to, for example, refer to a male as "she", is also a direct and targeted attack.
