If the ratio of fat to protein is high, and exogenous carbohydrates is relatively low in contrast, insulin levels should be closer to baseline (than a standard diet), as well as blood glucose, thereby keeping the Randle cycle minimized and so consumed energy gets used more by an on-demand basis or it gets dumped (literally). Part of the reason we poop is because, if our bodies literally used all of the mass we consume, we would either get too large in short order or spontaneously combust.

I don't think someone here is lying. There may be some level of exaggeration, as in my experience a lot of cheese (particularly hard cheeses) can lead to extremely painful stools, but calories really aren't as meaningful as one might assume, especially when switching from a diet that directly supplies carbohydrate and one that doesn't.

The human body needs a certain amount of glucose in the blood, but it can't get that from fats (at least as far as I am aware). It can obtain it from protein through a process called gluconeogenesis, but that's a relatively expensive process that requires more ATP than what ultimately results from it. The human body also treats that process in a more demand-driven manner than one where exogenous carbohydrates are consumed. This isn't an absolute, but it's generally less supply-driven. If protein can't be used for glucose or building tissue, it's more likely to become waste eventually.

I got a 2080Ti and was looking to upgrade, and I also enjoy running local AI models. Given that the card only has 16GB memory I don't see it as a huge upgrade over my 2080Ti, I can only get marginally larger models in memory on it. And if the model is in memory then the 2080Ti is fast enough.

Nvidia had 65% margins 5 years ago when they primarily sold gaming GPUs.

What margins do you think Nvidia is charging for RTX which getting more and more expensive every generation?

What margins do you think Project Digits will be for Nvidia? That thing costs 50% more than a RTX card and on the RTX card Nvidia only earns on the chip which is only part of the card. Digits is a 100% Nvidia product.

Does it matter if 1 Blackwell DC GPU or 13 Digits are sold? No, Nvidia has probably an insane margin on Digits and has only one goal, total spread and integration of Nvidia HW in any AI workload. Because then Nvidia can offer SW with super margins.

Think of Nvidia Enterprise AI, Omniverse, Clara, Isaac, DriveSim and many more. If 95% of AI acclerators are from Nvidia then it's only a small step to also use Nvidia SW frameworks.

Welcome! I don't think the Sublime developers will change the plugin API dramatically at this point (@ben-schaaf is in this thread; we can ask him :) So, old plugins should remain compatible. What we should be concerned about is that if something new is invented, it will probably appear in a more widespread editors first. However, as practice shows, new plugins for Sublime continue to be created[1] so we are not missing lot.

Yesterday, after wanting it for years, I finally found what looks like a good reference on what makes power plants so expensive. Most fusion-power proposals are based on using the fusion reactor to provide heat for a conventional thermal electrical power plant; https://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/powerplants/capitalcost... gives a couple hundred pages of details about why those are expensive.

As I said in my comment at the time https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42850472, the cost of solar panels has dropped in recent years to the point where it's dramatically cheaper to generate electricity with solar than from a thermal power plant.
It absolutely does and has been talked about for many years. This doesn’t really change anything unless you lived in a place that didn’t get cell signal.

While zero trust is great, humans have experimentally established that it is more or less impossible to maintain by all people in all cases all the time. Eventually someone will fail, and it can even be a security professional. Trustless is a tokenbro buzzword and it's not a viable path for users in general. We need some good trusted core software from which we can move further to auth other less reliable apps or machines.

That’s personality-specific. My Dad is like that and doesn’t understand why nobody else in the family gets off on self-imposed austerity. (He’s a great guy by the way — we all have our quirks.) He loves to say it’s a lack of discipline, but it’s not— I quit smoking after a decade-and-a-half of heavy smoking, lost 20% of my body weight on an 800 calorie per day ketogenic diet, worked many very difficult jobs, and did a number of other things that have required sustained discipline, as have others in the family. He doesn’t understand that the difference is that he enjoys self-imposed misery and the feelings of superiority he gets from it, which not only leads to a lack of balance in his life, sometimes strains his closest relationships.

Yes, and isn't it wonderful that you get an error message when you try to change a business rule, forcing you to properly encode the new rule instead?

A lot of these types of scenarios are missing the fact that, without these enforcements in the database, sooner or later a developer is going to make a change that violates an existing business rule without realising that they just broke a rule!

Rules change. We know this. What is valuable is being told that some new rule conflicts with an existing rule.

If you don't enforce the business rules in the database, how do you know when a new rule conflicts with some existing rule?

This is just a baseless conspiracy theory that I have, but I do wonder if they intentionally avoided certain avenues of research because it could erode the “moat” major tech firms have by dramatically reducing the capital costs required for training and inference. If you focus your research around work that mandates high-end hardware at scale you can lock out tons of potential incumbents

Sustainable for who? Not for the customers...
The significant issue is that DT fusion reactors are very large compared to fission reactors. If we look at gross nuclear power output per unit volume, comparing a fusion reactor to a PWR primary reactor vessel, the comparison is stark. ITER, for example, has a power density 400x worse than a PWR; the 2014 ARC design is 40x worse.

This large size has devastating implications. The nuclear island of a fission power plant is maybe 12% of the cost of the plant. Increase that cost by an order of magnitude and you've doubled the cost of the plant. Commercial nuclear power is already not competitive; double the capex and it becomes ludicrously uncompetitive.

If someone presents you a fusion proposal, the first thing you should ask is "what's the volumetric power density of your reactor?"

If you look at the arguments purporting to show DT fusion could have a chance they do things like assume they can build everything for 2x the cost of materials. Yeah, good luck with that, especially when that cost estimation technique would give wildly low results if you applied it to fission power plants, which are much less complex.

As I see it, there's only a couple of ways fusion might make it. The first is an approach that makes minimizing reactor size the primary goal. This would involve very small plasma configurations and one where all plasma-facing surfaces are covered with thick layers of flowing liquid lithium so areal power density can be very high, at least an order of magnitude higher than most concepts. Among DT efforts, only Zap looks like it might have a chance here (but there are parts on one end of the reactor that are still exposed to neutrons, unshielded.) The experience with liquid sodium in fission reactors should give one pause about making this work, though.

The other approach would be to avoid non-nuclear parts than fission power plants have by exploiting direct conversion of plasma energy to work, so the apples-to-apples comparison of heat sources does not apply. Helion is the front runner here, using more advanced fuels that put most of their energy into the plasma, not into neutrons. I consider Helion the least dubious of all current fusion efforts.
We weren't using macros, but one of our major dependencies was (geotrellis).

Didn't seem to matter how close to geotrellis we were though. That being said, I'm willing to buy that it confused IntelliJ enough that it gave up on entire packages

Either way, we ported a couple of the abstractions from there to go and just used that. The build times plus getting away from sbt have been enough of a win to keep us on go, and that's before we get to the memory reduction on in-memory rasters
70 years ago meat was strictly rationed and 50% of calories came from victory gardens.

During that particular experiment. Without knowing the further details about that subject, I have been eating multiple pounds of highly fatty meat and cheese with the addition of butter daily for several years. It would be surprising to me that 2 to 3 pounds wouldn't show signs of mild hypercholesterolemia but 6 pounds a day would suddenly result in yellow nodules all over the place. It also doesn't make sense for this to happen to someone who isn't hypercholesterolemic based on how cholesterol is normally handled by the liver. It's a tightly regulated system.
Not necessarily. We have employees sent the usual phishing emails claiming to be from the CEO - but sent to their personal email addresses, since the attackers know targeting a corporate domain won't work because of the "similar-name-but-external-domain" warnings.

I figure these kinds of relationships are determinable from linkedin etc., but they're still automated. Using family members seems like an extension of this technique, sending phishing from someone you probably know.

Big fan of the tool. Sublime was one of the few editors that could even open the massive logs one project was generating. The recovery is so good, I've realized I had dozens of tabs unsaved for years until IT updated machines.

One question: is there going to be another 3.x release? The popup takes you to a 4.x release, which is great if you are on 4.x. If it hit EOL, it makes it easy for us to force the update. Right now, it is in a bit of a weird in between.
There have been continuous efficiency savings innovations for both training and inference over the last few years. Discovering and absorbing those gains is a normal part of the development process. It occurs in every industry and is facilitated in computer science by mechanisms like open source and published papers.

Those savings don't usually make national news because they aren't the target. They aren't "man on the moon" moments, they are "our cannonball flies 96% as far as yours using 30% less powder" moments.

This is still a race for tools that essentially brute force their way to greater utility. Until we hit a utility quotient or hit a wall, the race doesn't really end. The quickest and easiest path to advantage in the race is still more compute.

There's a difference between "better than Concorde", which isn't exactly a high point of efficiency, and defying the laws of physics to make supersonic flights so cheap they can operate flights between origins and destinations that aren't commercially viable to fly direct at the moment (like your trip to Brazil) in sufficient comfort to attract people that don't do long haul at the moment

The barrier to most people not to visiting places that are very far away isn't "flights are 40% longer than ideal". 40% cheaper flights would open up the world more, but this is a step in the opposite direction

Do we know the exact origins of every virus? Does it matter in the grand scheme? Perhaps it helps in developing treatments, but I would question what specific advantages you get knowing the exact origin of a mutating virus with multiple strains. I guess my point is that it seems like our time would be better spent developing treatments and protections against this and future pandemics instead.
On the other hand, if people are told constantly to look up, eventually they stop looking.
It depends, on where exactly will hit. Similar to nuclear explosions, if one happen over sea or ocean near coast, it will cause extremely large wave, which will be similar to tsunami. If it will hit land, will be small earthquake.

This is why nearly all nuclear explosions was over land or far from coast. Few experiments near some coast or island, created tsunami-like wave on those coast (island), which considerable widen polluted territory (ocean is usually considered as self-cleaning).
