Look up Wada Test, where we shut down each hemisphere (one at a time) of the brain, while the patient is awake, to see how their personality changes without 1/2 their brain. Also stereo EEG. 200+ sensors placed in/on/around the brain, patient stays in bed for a week measuring brain activity. Here's the kicker... neurologists can plug into the brain and send teeny bits of electricity to each of the 200+ sensors individually to see what happens (typically this is for identifying seizure spots). Wish I didn't have to know this, but my partner is very epileptic, and has an RNS device implanted in her head. We upload her brain activity daily!

My personal lived experience is that HFCS is easier to consume more of. A 12-ounce can of HFCS sweetened soda is easier to drink than the same size, same brand, sugar sweetened beverage. The sugar sweetened version gives me feelings of done / too much that the HFCS version doesn't.

But yeah, we like to put sugar in everything, because we learned fat was the devil in the 70s? and when you remove all the fat, adding in sugar makes things palletable again. :p

The comment you replied to spoke of 10 lbs per 250g for a light roast. I haven't tried Pact personally, but just reading their marketing copy, I don't really have confidence that what they call a 'light roast' is truly a light roast by specialty coffee standards.

For context, a few signs I see:

* The way they even describe the tasting notes don't generally align with coffee selected for light roast suitability. Dark chocolate is rarely a note you see in a light roast.

* Every single bean is described as '<roast level> roast with hints of <tasting note>'.

Also, maybe pricing is better in the UK locally... but their website appears to advertise only their cheapest generic blends at 10pounds/250g. Stepping up to anything else is 11 or 14 pounds per bag.

In most Western countries, an act that is discriminatory at face value isn't a crime if there is a good reason for it. Here in the UK, for example, it's called "a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim". Avoiding demonstrable fraud would be a legitimate aim and I can't see any court or tribunal disagreeing with it.

> It isn't unreasonable to just stop at a port every night

Is it? How many more deep water ports would be needed if every ship had to stop every night? What about if you're passing hostile or undeveloped countries? What about when you need to cross the Pacific or Atlantic? Cargo ships move at maybe 15mph - there's definitely huge parts of the world that don't have a well equipped deep water port every 360 miles. Even major western countries only have a handful of major ports.
You could be right. There are stories about Trump voters being hurt by his cuts and still feel
it’s for the greater good.

On the other hand some of these elections are won by narrow margins. Most Trump voters didn’t sign up for pain (not personally, they only voted to harm others). Pain may influence their votes in the future or motivate their legislators to contain the executive branch.
Everyone misses this all the time.

Most problems can be overlooked because they’re not that prolific. There’s a chain of events that really hinges on that assumption.

For example, piracy is really not a problem. In fact I’m pro-piracy most of the time. But if everyone could pirate with no thought and no down time, I don’t think our economy will survive. Just because something is okay in small doses doesn’t mean it scales well. We understand this intuitively with substances, but not with technology like LLMs.
That's why you rotate everyone, not just those that "volunteer"... This way, you're spreading knowledge to everyone, e.g. if I'm forced to deal with an issue on code you wrote, I'm forced to learn about it.

Of course, I might have to ping you and get you to help me with it, so it's less efficient. Then again, if you leave the company, I have some knowledge about the feature, so... There's tradeoffs for sure.

If your org starts a platform team it is really important to have this concept drilled on early. Buffet, not framework.

I clearly remember having some discussions with platform people in my last job and asking them "why should I use your solution instead of getting an open source one that is likely better tested and used by more people" and the answer was usually "we can help if you run into any problems". Well, the "help" is to be planned and prioritized in the next sprint and probably will only come next quarter. So now the devs in my team need to make PRs to the platform people code and beg for reviews, how is that better than using the open source?
Reminiscent of what Deno are doing with their Deno K/V feature, which works in the open source project using SQLite but gets a big upgrade if you use it with Deno Deploy: https://til.simonwillison.net/deno/deno-kv

I'm OK with this. Commercial open source projects need a business model. I get why this can be controversial, but the ecosystem needs to find ways to fund future development and I'm willing to compromise on purity if it means people are getting paid for their work.

(Actually it looks like the UI feature may depend on loading closed source assets across the Internet? If so that changes my comfort level a lot, I'm not keen on that compromise.)
>Maybe if some billionaire had 5 less jets, we could push medicine a little bit further and save more lives for the benefit of humanity.

Where in the world did this strange leap of logic come from? For one thing, whether most billionaires have one or more jets has nothing at all to do with medical funding (which is in any case colossal, far larger than any airplane budget of any number of billionaires).

Secondly, it's precisely the billioniares and in some cases multimillionaires who finance a lot of the more extreme tech explorations to life extension. Being fantastically rich is exceptionally conducive to wanting to live as long as possible. Any technology their funding leads to isn't going to stay bottled up for long.

More fundamentally, there seems to be a sort of odd reasoning with these arguments that if X amount of current funding for healthcare, no matter how incredibly huge, doesn't achieve Y results to fix an endless number of hard medical problems, it must be because someone is siphoning off needed funding. Considering how much funding healthcare gets already, at least allow that the problem might just be one of extremely difficult problems that won't be solved too easily regardless of how much money is thrown at them..
A few features:

* Built-in column level lineage (i.e. dump in 20 .sql files and crabwalk automatically figures out lineage)

* Visualize the lineage

* Clean handling of input / output (e.g. simply specify @config output and you can export results to parquet, csv, etc.)

* Tests are not yet implemented, but crabwalk will have built-in support for tests (e.g. uniqueness, joins, etc.)

we're using it in our product (https://www.definite.app/), but only for lineage right now.
>Why not see if it can assemble a copy of itself -- if you find a genie in a lamp why not ask it for more wishes?

Robots that can build things already exist and can be purchased second hand, but I haven't see this level of hacking them to self replicate. The logistics of getting enough parts, and having the general purpose ability to diagnose a very wide range of issues with used components, and similar seem to prevent this from being some sort of self replicating singularity.

If such a robot did already have the power to do such self replication, why would it wait for a second hand hacker instead of the builder of the robots using them to produce copies at reduce cost?

You need a practical project, just like with programming. Think of something that should exist, but doesn't, or where the existing solutions are inadequate. Make it happen!

Some patterns to avoid in this domain specifically, based on your concern:

- Keyboards (I don't know why this has become a meme, but it has)
- Maker communities
- E-paper display devices.

Some ideas, if you do plan to do this as more of a learning project:

- PCB design
- Getting comfortable programming a variety of MCUs. Get out of your comfort zone
- IC baby? Try making simple analog circuits just so you're comfortable with them
- Getting good at integrating firmware design with electronics design

Yes, fructose is uniquely bad, as it must be metabolized in the liver, where it can contribute to fatty liver disease.

But regular sugar contains fructose in almost the same proportion as high-fructose corn syrup, so it's not a much better or worse alternative.

Edited to add: Fructose also has ten times higher glycation activity than glucose, which is the process by which sugar binds to (and destroys) proteins and lipids in the body.
> AFAIK, 10g of sugar is 10g of sugar, regardless of if it's fructose, glucose, sucrose or lactose.

Remember that we rely on very noisy abstractions in many sciences, and especially in biology, nutrition, and public health. In terms of the (abstract) model of calories-as-fuel, different sugars mostly all have the same effect of providing about 4 calories per gram. And in terms of the (abstract) model of glucose-as-blood sugar, they all get more or less converted to glucose eventually.

But behind those useful high level abstractions, these are all different molecules and bodies have different ways of processing them: different gut absorption and biome effects, different organs, different catalysts, different pathways, different rates of processing, etc.

So from certain views, yes, "sugar is sugar" but from other views each compound that we call sugar is a different molecule and this implies critical and sometimes quite impactful differences in how any body may respond to it at any given time.
> Actually we were?

We were earlier talking about the cost to build a house. I suppose that is close enough to satisfy your historical observation, but we also moved on from that a long time ago.

> House prices include the land they are on.

It was recognized that we are in different jurisdictions, so maybe things are different where you are, but around here you effectively need to own the land[1] before building the house. How, exactly, can the price include something that doesn't even exist at the time of the land purchase?

Perhaps you are suggesting that once the house is standing and all the bills are paid one might sum it all up and say that is what it cost to get them into a house? Perhaps, but the prices (e.g. the price of the land and the price of the contractor) will still have been observed independently.

> I have no idea why you took such offense to the infrastructure of the house being part of house prices.

I have no idea how you think someone could take offence to a comment on the internet. It is an emotionless venue.

[1] It is not entirely unheard of to build a house on someone else's (e.g. a family member) land, but in that case it is even clearer that the price of the house is not included in the price of the land.

Doesn't "Buy, and buy from certified providers, simple. Manage identity centrally...." contradict each other?
The body processes sugar compounds differently. Fructose is typically not preferred amongst athletes (bodybuilders, runners, etc). Reasons being Fructose's low absorption and requirement that it be processed by the liver - it needs to be converted to Glucose before the body can even use it. Fructose also lowers physical activity and increases body fat compared to glucose in the same dose and calorie intake.

So no.. all sugars are not equal.

On way to think about it is SQLite for columnar / analytical data.

It works great against local files, but my favorite DuckDB feature is that it can run queries against remote Parquet files, fetching just the ranges of bytes it needs to answer the query using HTTP range queries.

This means you can run eg a count(*) against a 15GB parquet file from your laptop and only fetch a few hundred KBs of data (if that).
There was a meme from back when - "if cars advanced like computers we'd be getting 1000 miles per gallon by now".

Thinking back to the car I had 20 years ago, it's not all that different from the car I have now.

Yes, the car I have now has a HUD, Carplay, Wireless iPhone charging, an iPhone app, adaptive cruise control, and can act as a wifi hotspot. But fundamentally it still does the same thing in the same way as 20 years ago. Even if we allow for EVs and Hybrid cars, it's still all mostly the same. Prius came out in 2000.

And now we've reached the point where computers advance like cars. We're writing code in the same languages, the same OS, the same instruction set, for the same chips as we did 20 years ago. Yes, we have new advancements like Rust, and new OSes like Android and iOS, and chipsets like ARM are big now. But iPhone/iPad/iMac, c/C++/Swift, OSX/MacOS/iOS, PowerPC/Intel/ARM.... fundamentally it's all homeomorphic - the same thing in different shapes. You take a programmer from the 70s and they will not be so out of place today. I feel like I'm channeling Bret Victor here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbHZNRda08o

And that's not for lack of advancements in languages, Os, instruction sets, and hardware architectures, it's for a lack of investment and commercialization. I can get infinite money right now to make another bullshit AI app, but no one wants to invest in an OS play. You'll hear 10000 excuses about how MS this and Linux that and it's not practical and impossible and there's no money in it, so on and so forth. The network effects are too high, and the in-group dynamic of keeping things the way they are is too strong.

But AGI? Now that's something investors find totally rational and logical and right around the corner. "I will make a fleet of robot taxis that can drive themselves with a camera" will get you access to unlimited wallets filled with endless cash. "I will advance operating systems past where they have been languishing for 40 years" is tumbleweeds.

a lot of schools and libraries around the country rely on federal funding to provide services to special groups and at-risk groups, like, for instance, the blind.

People often say "well, there was once no department of education" but we also know what used to happen to people with mental illness before state mental hospitals were a thing. Special groups might slip back to simply being not served with zero federal support. I worry a lot about this.

Yeah that's so hard to achieve, especially if one's own parents are not like that.
Well, and to generate fake evidence to lead cops off the trail for the longest period of time possible. Evidence could be said to contain a half life. The longer (real) evidence is not gathered the more it can decay in one way or another. For example security footage gets overwritten. Actual witness memory gets foggy. Physical items get thrown away.

If the cops spend the first month going after some poor Mark that had nothing to do with it, by the time they realize they've been had it will likely be much more difficult to catch the actual perp.

Also, that's saying nothing about the court of public opinion.
