I have a morning shake with a scoop and a half of Optimum Nutrition Protein[1] and 2 tablespoons of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides[2].

I'm not sure I've noticed any benefits, but like the other commenter mentioned, it keeps me satiated until lunch.

A couple other experiments (among *many):

- Lithium oratate did nothing for me. If anything, it slightly depressed my mood. I don't have depression.

- Supplementing with good quality fish oil and magnesium daily has made pretty noticeable differences.

Currently, this is Sports Research Triple Strength Fish Oil. It has the right mix of whatever oils -- I'd need to go look in my notes to elaborate. Most off the shelf pills (including Kirkland) are inadequate in quality.

For magnesium, I am currently taking Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate.

Advice welcomed from the peanut gallery.

If the person doesn't share gameplay data, then Nintendo can't know if the person played at least 50 hours
Joy Con Drift. Can they please solve for that ?

Chat Button ? Camera ? are they intentionally driving away parents who buy Switch for their kids ?
Well, that's just called a terrible user experience and a return magnet. Maybe the parent deliberately wants to enable access, they are mashing the "C" button, and nothing happens, before they give up and assume the console is physically defective.
The Laravel Unique Values package by JustBetter generates persistent, unique values while ensuring concurrency safety. It allows developers to define custom generation logic and set a maximum number of attempts before throwing an exception. The package supports subject association, meaning a specific subject can always retrieve the same unique value. It utilizes scoped cache locking to prevent duplicate values in concurrent requests.
Here's a comprehensive review of Turing's argument

(Spoiler: the issue is subtle :-))
Honestly, I respect them for it.

Sure, I’d be happy to spend less money on games, but there’s a certain honesty and transparency with buying Nintendo games that’s missing on the other platforms. No FOMO, no preorder bonuses, no pressure tactics, no nothing. You know the value proposition, and either you’re happy with it, or you’re not.
Seriously, what's with this thread? I'd rather not have a discussion in this base tone.
Thank you! Glad we see the world the same way! I've also always wanted a general purpose sync layer that provided a simple consistency model to build on top of.

And I made Graft open source to enable exactly that! Deploy it anywhere! Just let me know so I can better support your use case :)
In the past month i was also considering to buy a Wii to play some games with friends, but i waited to see if the switch 2 could be worth it. Now i'm seriously considering the Wii.
Maybe Kagi treating them like one?

The feel is smaller, closer compared to Google, as an easy example.
As an Australian i thought that was weird since we clearly favor coffee and have a very proud coffee culture so i looked it up.

Turns out that statement is completely false. We drink more coffee than tea which matches my anecdotal experience.

They're rewarding loyal customers, makes sense to me. The telemetry thing is kind of gross, but necessary if they want to base it on how much you've actually played and not just how long you've subscribed.
Wow I get the distances aren’t shown, but still, the magnification is impressive.
The Houdini Code
It's meant to be so obviously absurd that a person inside the room, merely substituting symbols, should in any sense understand the meaning of those symbols.

This may perhaps be more obvious to a naturalistic philosopher or natural scientist, than a computer "scientist" (ie., a mathematician).

The meaning of the term "pen" in "pass me that pen" includes the pen. So when this room is asked, "pass me the pen" and it replies "i cannot pass the pen" (or whatever it replies) -- it should be obvious that the person in the room, or any function of their activity, has never acquired any reference to "the pen". It is wholly unaware that there is a pen at all.

The purpose of this thought experiment is to show that syntactical correctness or apparent "arrangement of symbols in 'a' correct order" is radically insufficient to evidence semantic competence.

This, again is perhaps more obvious to scientists -- the symbol order is only a proxy measure of semantic competence in people. It's trivial to come up with processes which clearly lack the capacity for such competence and yet are measured (/observed) to produce symbols in the right order.

In many ways, it's an over-engineered thought experiment. However I'd say Searle was baffled that more obvious phrasings of the problem seemed to confuse others, ie., that an observation of symbols isnt an observation of meanings -- one isn't a reliable measure of the other. Only under very many additional conditions does such a relationship hold in people.

Turing was not interested in producing systems that had such competence, so he may well agree with Searle in some ways at least. However, many students of computer science receive no empirical education whatsoever, and lack the basic vocabulary and understanding of the nature of the problem of meaning.

Eg., that in order to mean "pass me the pen" one must be able to acquire a reference to "the pen" which any system unable to observe its environment at the very least cannot do.

Turing machines lack devices, and hence lack any capacity to in principle refer to objects in the world. The only thing a turing machine can be said to do is express an abstraction ( a function of nat -> nat) -- since it is an abstraction.

No capacities follow from expressing such a computational abstraction -- Searle thought the chinese room made this obvious to those who didnt find it so. But he was baffled that anyone didnt already find it obvious.

One could make the same point with physics, rather than with meaning. Eg., the earth orbiting the sun computes +1,-1,+1,-1 .. and so does an infinte numer of physical processes that share no properties with the earth, or the sun, etc. Thus just because we observe +1,-1,+1... does not mean that "inside the chinese physics room" there's an earth orbiting the sun. It could literally be anything.
given this is about F#, the question is how ergonomic is it to use this in F#?

In the past, I found it wonky
Seems like it's working sporadically at the moment. The status page worked with one refresh, but the next one error 500.
Which games are $90?
Oh I absolutely don't trust them, never have. I even mentioned that in the last message. I was just arguing on principle because people love to latch on to sensationalized stories that lack context and evidence... and usually it comes out later that it wasn't as big of a sky-is-falling event as people thought.

It's entirely possible that isn't the case here though, I don't have enough information to say. If you're referring to Abrego Garcia, it later came out that the "administrative error" was due to an informant claiming he was a gang member, but I don't think there was ever any evidence of that, so I think it's still an unknown and an ongoing case.

Certainly I think everyone should be entitled to due process though, illegal immigrant or not. And I can't tell if many of this admin's actions are willful deception or gross incompetence, or both.

Your comment that they pay money for people to go to prison explicitly "to make sure there's no fallout if they make mistakes" sure seems unfounded and sensationalized to me though. It might look like that but I have not seen any proof that it's intentional in the way you say it.
Doesn't microSD Express rely on DMA over a PCI-e lane?

Curious if that could become a future attack vector to get homebrew running.
Yeah, as you say, the main source of air pollution in Dublin is cars. Those are basically outside of the EPA's remit. It has been very effective in cleaning up _industry_, which is in its remit, though a lot of this was playing catchup with the rest of Western Europe.

The cars are basically some combination of the NTA's and the local authorities' fault; a massive expansion of Dublin's bus and commuter rail capacity, and a new metro system, are all years behind schedule, largely due to planning permission nonsense (though also due to disastrously incorrect government planning about 15 years ago, which assumed that Ireland would go back to its traditional perma-recession after the financial crisis, with the result that starting these expansions was delayed by about a decade).
I'm curious if the switch 1 would back support mouse mode if one were to use the new joypads on the old models. Probably not but maybe in the homebrew ones?

It seems pretty much a software update as one can already connect any BT device to a patched switch.
I know that "DogeDesigner" is a Elon-stan account, but I hadn't compared Optimus's 2022 introduction vs its 2025 demo, and seeing it side-by-side is very...uh...underwhelming? And that's just walking — I assume if Optimius were able to attempt autonomous servicing of various factory tasks, we'd be seeing that footage in full.

You can monetize your app users by partnering with providers that offer SDKs for residential proxy networks. These services let users opt-in to share their internet connection, earning you revenue while they get benefits like ad-free experiences.

How It Works: Providers like Proxyrack, Live Proxies, Rayobyte, and Infatica allow you to integrate their SDKs into your app. Users who agree to join the proxy network contribute their device’s bandwidth, often used for web scraping, and you get paid based on their activity—typically per monthly or daily active user.

So it need not be "compromised Android SetTop Boxes", but just millions of free apps running on user's phones.
This is great! It's very close to something I desperately want to exist: a way to peruse the YouTube videos' my friends are watching.

My algo often gets bad, and the best recommendations for YouTube videos come from friends' suggestions. And sometimes I just want to be recommended something totally different than what my algo would know about.

Would it be possible to add that feature?
I'm just here to remind everyone that the results of a single trial can fall anywhere on the bell curve. Below I've linked a meta-analysis of 10 studies that shows evidence for "a very small effect favoring creatine supplementation when combined with RT[resistance training] compared to RT and a placebo".

Excellent! Good to know it uses the standard BLE advertisement for the SOS and doesn't need WiFi or GPS.

Well thought out. Excellent work. Thank you for making this available as open source!

Side note --
I wonder if it's possible to have a companion system to scan regularly for the signal at home for the elderly. Then notify caregivers from the companion using available wifi/cell if the SOS is detected. Since it's so well behaved it seems like even having a regular wellness check mode would be possible. Having a companion system for relay would allow the app itself to never need WiFi/cell and have independent care notifications protocols that wouldn't need to be maintained in the app.
I will context virtually all. I have never had this come up. I suppose it depends on what products you're looking at, but buying pure creatine is easy.
Is the PDF of this available anywhere, pub.usgs.gov appears to have been DOGEd.
That's like saying war is bad for the construction industry because there won't be any demand for real estate development.

War is extremely lucrative because there will be "reconstruction" contracts once the dust settles. For McKinsey, these are equivalent to "restructuring" businesses after economic recessions.

Trillions were lost in the March 2000 dotcom collapse and the September 2008 crash. McKinsey, Bain etc emerged unscathed. There's plenty of business to go around even if the economy is in shambles.
Real Genius was one of the things that helped me to soldier on through my (terrible) high school experience surrounded by bullies and knuckleheads, knowing that if I was lucky, I could have at least a good four years afterwards "among my own people." And as you said, it also helped to lay the ethical foundation of always looking at the potential applications of technology before deciding to work on it. Too few software "engineers" have taken that lesson to heart.

Heavy lifting for a silly 80s comedy movie.
I used to think Trump being a Kremlin agent was tinfoil hat thinking, but then someone pointed out if you take that as an assumption, ALL of Trump's actions make 100% sense. Then I remembered the old adage if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I'm still not fully prepared to believe it, but I'm beginning to believe maybe it's because I don't want to believe it - because it's making more and more sense.

I recommend getting an unpatched switch, if you have more than 5 games you would like to play.
I design with pencils, but I thought crayons would give the PM something to chew on when there is technical discussion.

Are your designs huge ?
Maybe the answer is for someone to work on boosting natural caffeine levels in yaupon holly tea.

It grows wild all over the SE US and can withstand multi-year drought or regular floods though it does best in a situation where it gets regular rainfall. You may have some in your own yard used as a hedge plant. I have several large trees on my place. It spreads underground by suckers and will take over an area if you do nothing to contain it. It is very strong once it forms a thicket. I have driven across a yaupon thicket in a seismic buggy and been in a situation where none of the tires were touching the ground as I drove because I was crossing a thick tangle of yaupon that supported the vehicle.

Caffeine levels are lower than coffee beans (40-60 mg versus >150 mg I think). Yaupon does also have theobromines, vasodilators, that are supposed to help it prevent the caffeine crash.

I have some leaves dried and drink it make a tea occasionally when I want a boost but not a cup of coffee level boost. It tastes great and is easy to prepare at home.

[0]https://yauponbrothers.com/blogs/news/is-yaupon-better-than-...

There are other sources of information about yaupon holly. It is proposed that the British naturalist who discovered Native Americans using it in their own ceremonies and drinking it casually decided to name it ilex vomitoria not because it was dangerous or poisonous to consume but because since it grew wild in the colonies, it could be a serious competitor to English tea so he used the name to make it less attractive.
Interesting that GPT 4.5 seems significantly better than 4o. I dimly remember the feedback being that it wasn't such a big leap in performance, though of course the usual problem solving benchmarks might not correlate with what was asked here. Seems it got better at human-like speech, at the very least, which I think was also some of the feedback when 4.5 was released.

huh, 5W eirp. Either that changed or my memories did. cool. I also don't remember the 500W PEP ceiling, either. I thought you could drive it however hard you wanted to as long as your radiator didn't exceed [what i thought was 1000] 5000mW eirp.
For comparison, some of the original NES games were MSRP $45. That's the equivalent of over $100 today.

(Although, of that $45, 15% went to distributors and another 15% went to retailers).
Ah, share gameplay data. The thing every modded switch has turned off.
While I agree with your framing of the discussion, the fact still remains that in business there are many areas where deadlines are required both because (a) time is literally money - if you believed it would take X days to release a feature, but it ends up taking 3X, it could have been the case that, in retrospect, we never would have then implemented that feature in the first place, and (b) there are often many other people working on a project that need to be coordinated - try managing that process if every team just gets to say "it takes as long as it takes".
At the same time a recent NBER paper indicates that it’s not housing supply that’s causing house prices to rise, but geographic income levels.

My suspicion is that it’s a question of who has more control over asset classes and wealth.

Even in India, I see eye-wateringly expensive houses snapped up, with more being built. The same for london and any major city in the world.

It feels very much like the biggest participants in the economy, are the asset managers for yet richer people.

The economy feels like it’s retooling for the wealthy and above.
I don't see the issue this attempts to solve. The one thing mentioned is caching, but you shouldn't mix caches of different users (or user groups) anyways if f.e. you encode a user's access privilege in the query. This however doesn't even do it and always loads the data, so instead of attempting to cache the result of the query after access is checked, just cache the result of the query.

I checked the library and thought this would be something more revolutionary that I missed, but sadly it's "just ok". At least for me it doesn't come close to what f.e. https://casl.js.org/v6/en/ provides or you know, me just having the access control encoded into a where-clause
So you're not denying climate change, just the effects of it. I'm not sure that's any better.

We call it climate change because warmer weather produces higher variance in weather patterns--you're adding entropy into the system. Overall warmer, but more rain (and mud/rockslides), more wind, more lightning, etc etc.
I wrote an non-RTX on-GPU raytracer a while back (naive compared to this) and it's super-interesting to read about the advances in compressing BVH structures.

But the changes also highlights a change in focus from just implementing this naively(RDNA3 technically not too much removed from the naive raytracer I wrote) to moving it to something carefully engineered and optimized for memory bandwidth (with savings circuits even built into silicon?).
> Due process here is administrative, not criminal

While it remains, sadly, Constitutional for the US to enslave people, and the various iterations of statute law abolishing the export slaves first in 1794 and then the slave trade more generally later probably do not bind the operations of the US government only other persons subject to it, the Constitution does require that those enslaved—and those being committed to CECOT are not merely being removed they are being enslaved and trafficked—may only be so enslaved as a punishment for a crime of which they have been duly committed.

So while the actual process in the Alien Enemies Act removals is executive fiat, and the due process under existing law for deportation (which is not afforded in Alien Enemies Act removals) is administrative rather than criminal, the Constitutionally-mandated process for those receiving the sanction being applied in the Alien Enemies Act process is normal criminal process.
Not linking to the actual paper is exactly the sort of thing that I've come to expect of phys.org

Is the full path guaranteed? For example homebrew, snap, and apt might put it all in different places. $PATH is a useful tool.

Got it. Then why the first step of go to the effort of getting real serial numbers from the big box store. If the dots signature going to be randomized?
Good catch! It's "unopinionated" for the user and "opinionted" in its design decisions. I'll stick with "unopinionated" for consistency.
If you say so :-D
This is absolutely a real problem, especially in enterprise GenAI rollouts where hallucinations and data leakage risks are non-negotiable.

We’ve run into scenarios where LLMs exposed internal data just through cleverly crafted prompts. Your ability to inspect and enforce policies at both prompt and response level is spot on.

If I were in your shoes, I’d seriously consider open-sourcing the data plane, especially since your control plane is where monetization lies. It builds trust, invites contributions, and positions you as a default in this emerging category.

And no, you're not early, you're exactly on time. Most companies are just realizing how much risk they’ve shipped into production.
By nature, sheep are baazons. They act like fermions in an applied field.

> When a RPE of 8 or lower was recorded, the external load (kg) was adjusted on successive sets to ensure that subjects achieved the target RM.

The wording is a little technical. They're saying that, if the subject thought they could do at least 2 more reps at the end of this set, they increased the weight on the next set. So if creatine does allow people to do more reps at a given weight, subjects on creatine should have lifted heavier weights. (To me, that doesn't seem like the right way to adjust for creatine, which is thought to provide extra energy, not the ability to lift heavier.)
Assuming this result holds, and knowing that LLMs (including 4o) nevertheless remain incapable of standing in for people in most cases that require intelligence, this seems like a damning indictment of the test as an indicator of genuine intelligence.

If they're in the S&P 500, you can assume that they do. McKinsey's influence isn't just via consultants either, plenty of execs are former McKinsey people. Sundar Pichai and Sheryl Sandberg being two big names.
