Another long term benefit is that it normalizes the feeling of hunger. To be able to feel hunger after not eating for 15 hours, but be able to wait that extra hour is huge for managing impulsively and learning that simple hunger isn’t as urgent of a bodily demand as one might have previously thought.

There’s a big difference between “I’m malnourished”, “My body feels hungry” and “I want to eat for reasons other than feeling hungry”. Intermittent fasting will definitely teach you what “My body feels hungry” feels like, and shows you how to suppress it for hours.

I think the positive reinforcement of eating during the time window also helps in this learning process.

Forget all -ists and -isms.

There is are discontinuous, spectrum of limits to locus-of-control. It's important not to fall into either trap of absolutist internal or external LoC. I think there are generally too many people in wider humanity who adopt defeatist, learned helplessness, external local-of-control attitudes through sayings like "it's God's will" or "you can't fight city hall".
There are many cases where I have no choice in who (or how much) I pay, that are not kidnapping.

Monopolistic practices are their own thing. Bad for very different reasons than kidnapping.
Didn't MS already enter into some sort of agreement with Mistral?

Also - I don't think Amazon (or more specifically Alexa) is exactly worth emulating. I am willing to bet there are a substantial number of issues with their new Alexa features that don't happen with Siri specifically because of its reduced scope (can't browse the internet and shop for you, etc.)
So not deal with it so much as just shut up about it?

"Effective" as in "not very"

The concept of 'eating windows' or timed eating has been studied and tested forever. the difference, if any, is basically nothing. It comes down to eating less. This is why GLP-1 drugs work so well when nothing else does at preventing people from putting as much food in their mouths.

I disagree it is caused by sub-urbanization or zoning. Housing tracts are built with schools.

I would argue the primary cause is an attempt at "school optimization"; the choice to attend the "better" school over the closer school. Also, standardization of schools has decreased with the great variety of charter, private and magnet schools now, increasing the reasons to skip the local school. Personally, I think standardization is best. You could make the same argument about how people choose colleges.

The thing is, this has been known since even before the current crop of LLMs. Anyone who considered (only the English) language to be sufficient to model the world understands so little about cognition as to be irrelevant in this conversation.

Strix Halo is impressive, but it isn't AMD going all out on the concept. Strix Halo's die area (300mm2 ish) is roughly the same as estimates for Apple's M3 Pro die area. The M3 Max and M3 Ultra are twice or four times the size.

In a next iteration AMD could look into doubling or quadrupling the memory channels and GPU die area like as Apple has done. AMD is already a pioneer in the chiplet technology Apple is also using to scale up. So there's lots of room to grow for even higher costs.
I guess we need to define sit-down restaurants. Fast-food places with sit-down available typically has plastic seating. I know that the Chick-fil-a and McDonalds in the area do.

Some of the gastropub places near me have bare wooden seating. It's part of their "charm" this thread is swooning about. It's literally just a wooden picnic table, but yeah, that's so worth that extra money.
"Green cards come with rules to keep."

The whole issue is that the current administration has determined that they are the sole arbiter of those "rules", and they can detain and attempt to deport green card holders without any due process.

Obvious question then does the employer and the job have to be similar to the job that they had (and how similar and what is the test)?
In theory transformers are Turing-complete and LLMs can do anything computable. The more down-to-earth argument is that transformer LLMs aren't able to correct errors in a systematic way like Lecun is describing: it's task-specific "whack-a-mole," involving either tailored synthetic data or expensive RLHF.

In particular, if you train an LLM to do Task A and Task B with acceptable accuracy, that does not guarantee it can combine the tasks in a common-sense way. "For each step of A, do B on the intermediate results" is a whole new Task C that likely needs to be fine-tuned. (This one actually does have some theoretical evidence coming from computational complexity, and it was the first thing I noticed in 2023 when testing chain-of-thought prompting. It's not that the LLM can't do Task C, it just takes extra training.)
Lol pay the originating artists and copyright holders for training on their data. Stealing is game over, legally, so they are trying unsuccessfully to change the law.
I've been following 16hr fasts by skipping breakfast and eating my first meal at around 12:00 each day. Normally have an afternoon snack, then dinner at 18:00 with my young family. Perhaps a sweet treat by 20:00 after putting the little one to bed. Honestly, it's not that tricky if you bulk up lunch a bit.

Edit: As a sibling comment says quite rightly, you do feel hungry in the late morning, but reacting to that feeling is optional
The pre-school my youngest has this. The middle school my oldest goes to is much more relaxed. I'm fine with treating my 4 year old like she can't be trusted to run around alone, but my 11 year old can.

What I'm not fine with is there is no bus service for the 4 year old, we have to drive her (I bike, but it isn't a great route - we have to cross a busy 4 lane)
I have a Ukrainian refugee family under TPS, approved through 2027, staying in my guest house in Texas. There are rumors that the Trump administration will revoke the status of TPS peoples in the next month or two.

If this happens, my understanding is that this will immediately turn them into illegal aliens, subject to deportation.

Is my vague understanding true? Is there anything I can do to help them? I don't mind participating some civil disobedience if it means allowing them to stay in the country longer. Should I gate up my property? Any advice is appreciated.
This is a good piece that is undermined somewhat by the AI imagery. My goal isn't to just complain about AI, but I've been reflecting on how my own mental process unfolded while reading this.

> Note: I used AI to create this image rather than pull one from another site without permission.

I don't have kids, and while I've seen pickup lines from time to time, I have very little first-hand experience with them. So my brain reacts to the image:

- Is this image a realistic representation?

- If it is, I have no first-hand knowledge to verify it

- If it's not, I have no way to know without going and looking for images myself

- If it is, it's undermining the content by representing something real with something fake

Artwork/illustrations/visualizations are often critical when communicating via text. But I think that when someone is writing about a factual matter - a real phenomenon that is occurring regularly - using fake imagery is just the wrong choice.
My strategy is to buy cheapest TV on the market (which is usually an ad loaded Crapware like hisense) and then never ever connect it to the internet but use HDMI to plug into a dedicated computer.

Basically all I need in a TV apart from the display is an HDMi. It works amazing, been using like this over 10 years now.
That ship has unfortunately sailed.

Tell HN: An ode to the lost magic of the 2010s ZIRP startups
("ZIRP" means "Zero Interest Rate Policy btw)

It really is incredible how suddenly the world changes. Many of us are now unemployed, facing layoffs, taking salary cuts and enduring grueling work environments to try and get through the worst tech recession since 2008.

I myself now work in a fusty, old and stable government department in Europe.

But I once worked for a couple of 2010s ZIRP startups. And what places they were.

People from across Europe and the world would rock up to these places and bring their seductive cocktail of cultural insight, experiences and languages. And they were motivated primarily to create something new and cool. The types who would have hated the fusty corporate offices that many of us now flee to in search of job security.

And the energy was explosive. Sure most of their companies didn't make much profit or, in many cases, even revenue - but the magic was palpable. Not least because the company socials brought together so many people from different cultures and countries.

Love, friendships (and even startup founder partnerships) were forged in these places. And this magic was often sparked overseas at company global socials that flew everyone to party in foreign lands. I myself was flown to New York alongside everyone else in the London office to party for three days. It was crazy.

Much of that magic was captured in photographs that disappeared not long before those bankruptcies were declared.

Many of those people have since moved on to more sensible lives, corporate jobs and the bright beginnings of early middle age.

But for a moment, it was magic.
>Just letting the kids out en mass is how my son's school worked until Covid.

My kids school worked like that and it was still a mess, primarily because the parents were too stupid to follow the rules as to how to park their cars. I was set up so that everyone parked in parallel rows ||||| but the ones on the right were closest to the exit, so a bunch of people would pull into those rows to the point that they'd wrap around behind the other rows ___| and prevent people from getting into those rows. It was stupid and the school would send out notices and have employees walk down to the end of the row and tell people to move to the next one but it never stayed fixed.

Ever hear of Dissociated Press? If not, try the following demonstration.

Fire up Emacs and open a text file containing a lot of human-readable text. Something off Project Gutenberg, say. Then say M-x dissociated-press and watch it spew hilarious, quasi-linguistic garbage into a buffer for as long as you like.

Dissociated Press is a language model. A primitive, stone-knives-and-bearskins language model, but a language model nevertheless. When you feed it input text, it builds up a statistical model based on a Markov chain, assigning probabilities to each character that might occur next, given a few characters of input. If it sees 't' and 'h' as input, the most likely next character is probably going to be 'e', followed by maybe 'a', 'i', and 'o'. 'r' might find its way in there, but 'z' is right out. And so forth. It then uses that model to generate output text by picking characters at random given the past n input characters, resulting in a firehose of things that might be words or fragments of words, but don't make much sense overall.

LLMs are doing the same thing. They're picking the next token (word or word fragment) given a certain number of previous tokens. And that's ALL they're doing. The only differences are really matters of scale: the tokens are larger than single characters, the model considers many, many more tokens of input, and the model is a huge deep-learning model with oodles more parameters than a simple Markov chain. So while Dissociated Press churns out obvious nonsensical slop, ChatGPT churns out much, much more plausible sounding nonsensical slop. But it's still just rolling them dice over and over and choosing from among the top candidates of "most plausible sounding next token" according to its actuarial tables. It doesn't think. Any thinking it appears to do has been pre-done by humans, whose thoughts are then harvested off the internet and used to perform macrodata refinement on the statistical model. Accordingly, if you ask ChatGPT a question, it may well be right a lot of the time. But when it's wrong, it doesn't know it's wrong, and it doesn't know what to do to make things right. Because it's just reaching into a bag of refrigerator magnet poetry tiles, weighted by probability of sounding good given the current context, and slapping whatever it finds onto the refrigerator. Over and over.

What I think Yann LeCun means by "energy" above is "implausibility". That is, the LLM would instead grab a fistful of tiles -- enough to form many different responses -- and from those start with a single response and then through gradient descent or something optimize it to minimize some statistical "bullshit function" for the entire response, rather than just choosing one of the most plausible single tiles each go. Even that may not fix the hallucination issue, but it may produce results with fewer obvious howlers.

It is important to understand that time restricted eating is behavioral adaptation to reduce caloric consumption. A calorie deficit is what drives weight loss.

Here is a list of similar things that also "work". It is key to understand that "working"- meaning weight loss is the result of a deficit of energy requiring the body to use stored fuel (fat) as energy over time:

-higher protein is more satiating

-higher fiber is more satiating

-keto diets are for most people pretty satiating so they reduce caloric intake

-GLP1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro lead you to feel "full" and eat less through a few mechanisms - slowing digestion, stabilizing insulin and blood sugar

-Drinking lots of water

-subbing out sugars with artificial sweeteners

-fasting, intermittent fasting, time restricted eating, alternate day fasting. For some can lead to a binge but if you adhere to it you are likely to consume less calories

-switching from processed foods to whole foods high in fiber and protein is more satiating

-wearing tighter and more revealing clothing will lead one to eat less

-weighing yourself daily will lead you to eat less (assuming you understand thermodynamics)

-exercising and cardio will lead you to burn more calories. Muscle mass accrued over time burns modestly more calories than fat mass and cardio burns calories directly

-counting calories directly (leads to greater adherence). Just like budgeting. If you don't measure and estimate what is going in vs going out at all and have no experience measuring you are unlikely to succeed.

It is important to understand that NONE of the above are a substitute for a caloric deficit for losing weight but rather one possible path to CAUSING a caloric deficit. The deficit is still required. These are behavioral tools. Hormones, PCOS, insulin etc are also not workarounds to the laws of thermodynamics. They can make you more hungry or burn more or less calories at the margins but they dont change the equation of calories in vs calories out.

Often people confuse the behavioral method to achieve weight loss with the mechanism driving it, and this leads to most of the confusion on weight loss outside of scientific literature (among blogger quacks, fitness guru snakeoil salesman etc.)

Rant over.
It cuts both ways. Many American friends have told me that they were treated aggressively at the Canadian border as well.
IMO the last decade has mostly been a stagnation in software quality at Apple, both in design and code quality. Apple used to have to focus on users and quality because they were both an underdog and premium priced. Now it feels like they're slowly turning into Disney in the sense that most decisions are how to extract as much money as possible from you.

* WebGL is half-assed in safari because of "security" risks, but reeks that they don't want to risk mobile gaming bypassing the app store.

* They've let mobile gaming be ruined by abusive micro-transaction games.

* Apple ignores user bugs unless they get a lot of press ( my current frustration: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255473542 )

* iTunes Genius was SO GOOD at recommending new music, but now that they can just grab a monthly fee music discovery on Apple music is very meh.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that that their top-down product driven development cycle can't handle a sudden, new technology (that is arguably overhyped).

The tragedy is that the only mobile alternative is an operating system run by an adtech company and windows is...regressing again after some promise.

At least there's always linux? :-/
Feels like disasters like this aren't just random accidents - they're symptoms of slowly ignoring the cracks until everything breaks open. Makes you wonder what else we're overlooking right now that's quietly falling apart around us.
In the end any eating restriction has some influence on lowering weight...

It feels like under whatever hood one looks or whichever layer of paint one looks behind - when it’s a relatively new change in society, one always finds the root cause to be neoliberalism.

Your comment reconfirms this especially pictorially with the last statement: productivity and it alone goes up and quality or service are not even part of the equation.
This is a great example of when a company needs to make a new product and not simply add capability to an old one. They decided to go with Apple Intelligence, which was partway there, but leveraging Siri branding is a mistake. It's also an organizational nightmare. Ok Siri people, go continue to support all the zillions of users you currently have and all their bizarre use cases, and we'll just one day make Siri smarter? Bad idea.

They need to leave Siri behind and make a whole new thing, roll it out to their most loyal and spendy customers, and then let it make its way down the customer chain as it gains more capability.
Dudeney's Permuting the Digits Problem
No? Why would you. "Expandable" open standards are perfectly possible, though they do lead to some market fragmentation, but "market fragmentation" is just another name for "Product differentiation".

Early in the 20th century, the telephone network was NOT an open standard. You had to ask AT&T to come to your home and wire a new telephone into THEIR network, and you weren't allowed to do anything else with that network. Opening that network up allowed us to build good modems (instead of relying on acoustic couplers which had abysmally low data rates due to bad quality coupling), build things like fax machines etc.

Open standards with open networks is a driving force to innovation. The internet is another one. We should be pushing very hard for basic rights to interact with networks and infrastructure.

If the power companies had the kind of control that we've given """Tech"" businesses over their "networks", you wouldn't be allowed to plug anything "unapproved" by a business into the wall. Your local utility could literally extract a tax on any product that needed electricity.

Open standards and laws that explicitly allow working in someone else's system for the purpose of Fair Use and interoperability are a requirement for continuous progress. A patent can encourage someone to make an initial investment into improvement, but the very moment they have any advantage the patent system means nobody else will be able to offer that kind of functionality for 20 years or so. Consider how long none of us were able to "Buy now" on any website other than amazon.com because of a stupid patent.

The entire PC ecosystem only exists because the law says that there was a way you could, legally protected, interact with someone else's intellectual property. It doesn't have to be easy, just possible. Clean Room reverse engineering is an insane endeavor, but without it, IBM would have strangled PCs as a platform in the crib, because that would be more profitable a business than what we have now.

If we want technological advancement and the ability to buy what you want, use what you want, do what you want with what you buy, then we need to forcefully wrest control away from these big companies who would really prefer to maintain tyrannical control over their "platforms" because it's just more profitable.

Stuff like the Digital Markets Act does that.
US airports love Canada pre-clearance because it allows them to assign planes to any gate. Might be an easy way to gum up the works as retribution.
Nothing prohibiting advocacy of nazis, from what I can tell, it's for affiliation with nazis. And its an entry/approval requirement, and there is a big difference though between entry/approval requirements and ongoing obligations. The government can deny entry/approval for a myriad of reasons related to unfavorable speech, but they can't infringe on the legal speech of a green card holder.

Regardless, the prohibition for entry/approval is against people who were associated with the nazi party or nazi-allied parties between 1933 and 1945, which is basically obsolete already. Anybody for whom that prohibition applies would be 98+ years old now.
You're agreeing with me. Those are all my views.
