41,789,302 | comment | kragen | 2024-10-09T15:53:40 | null | It sounds like you aren't familiar with the basics of what is known in the field, because the theory you're promoting has been known to be wrong for decades. It's kind of the Flat Earth Theory of obesity.<p>The cause might be sugars, but they'd have to be sugars that were little used 50 years ago when the obesity pandemic began. One promising candidate was high-fructose corn syrup, with a promising hypothesis about how a fructose/glucose ratio of 1:1 was harmless. That hypothesis was always somewhat unlikely and basically didn't pan out. Glucose syrup was also an interesting hypothesis‚ but fructose/glucose hypotheses all run up against the sucrase-isomaltase problem: people in some places, such as the US, ate plenty of sucrose before 01974, and it gets split into fructose and glucose in the small intestine. So you need an explanation of why the modern sugar-heavy diet has such dramatically different health effects from historical sugar-heavy diets. Maybe it's fucose? Chlorinated sugars like sucralose? Massive galactose doses? You could be right, but you've chosen to take on a heavy burden of proof there.<p>As for your "shame people who don't want responsibility" ideas, I suggest reading <a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/12/the-physics-diet/" rel="nofollow">https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/12/the-physics-diet/</a>, which begins:<p>> <i>There are at least four possible positions on the thermodynamics of weight gain:</i><p>> <i>1. Weight gain does not depend on calories in versus calories out, even in the loosest sense.</i><p>> <i>2. Weight gain is entirely a function of calories in versus calories out, but calories may move in unexpected ways not linked to the classic “eat” and “exercise” dichotomy. For example, some people may have “fast metabolisms” which burn calories even when they are not exercising. These people may stay very thin even if they eat and exercise as much as much more obese people.</i><p>> <i>3. Weight gain is entirely a function of calories in versus calories out, and therefore of how much you eat and exercise. However, these are in turn mostly dependent on the set points of a biologically-based drive. For example, some people may have overactive appetites, and feel starving unless they eat an amount of food that will make them fat. Other people will have very strong exercise drives and feel fidgety unless they get enough exercise to keep them very thin. These things can be altered in various ways which cause weight gain or loss, without the subject exerting willpower. For example, sleep may cause weight loss because people who get a good night sleep have decreased appetite and lower levels of appetite-related hormones.</i><p>> <i>4. Weight gain is entirely a function of calories in versus calories out, and therefore of how much you eat and exercise. That means diet is entirely a function of willpower and any claim that factors other than amount of food eaten and amount of exercise performed can affect weight gain is ipso facto ridiculous. For example, we can dismiss claims that getting a good night’s sleep helps weight loss, because that would violate the laws of thermodynamics.</i><p>> <i>1 and 4 are kind of dumb. (...)</i><p>4 is your position. Read the article to see why it's dumb. It's a short, easy read.<p>Also I suggest reading <a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-brain/" rel="nofollow">https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry...</a>, a review of <i>The Hungry Brain</i> by neuroscientist Stephen Guyenet, who specializes in nutrition. Also, and I know this may be a big ask, maybe read an actual book on the topic too. Also, you would probably find it illuminating to read <a href="https://www.bpni.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/2020-UPFs-obesity-Metaanalysis-IJO.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.bpni.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/2020-UPFs-ob...</a>, "Ultra-processed food and the risk of overweight and obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies," and although observational studies aren't the strongest form of evidence (you could hypothetically have some kind of widespread undiscovered brain infection that both causes obesity and also makes you eat Cheetos and Cheez Whiz, without the latter causing the former, or fat people might settle for ordering Domino's Pizza because it's too hard for them to travel all the way to Whole Foods), there are also randomized clinical trials showing the same thing.<p>Maybe also <a href="https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13668-024-00517-z.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13668-024-005...</a>, "Ultra‑processed Food and Obesity: What Is the Evidence?", whose summary says:<p>> <i>Greater UPF [ultra-processed food] consumption has been a key driver of obesity. There is a need to change the obesogenic environment
to support individuals to reduce their UPF intake. The UPF concept is a novel approach that is not explained with existing
nutrient- and food-based frameworks.</i><p>It's shorter than the SSC posts I linked, but it demands a higher level of literacy. | null | null | 41,775,524 | 41,742,210 | null | null | null | null |

You can learn wisdom from science, but that body of wisdom eventually becomes a philosophy.

41,789,306 | comment | HenriTEL | 2024-10-09T15:53:58 | null | From the doc it does not seem to be the case.<p>> Use beartype to assure the quality of Python code beyond what tests alone can assure. If you have yet to test, do that first with a pytest-based test suite, tox configuration, and continuous integration (CI). If you have any time, money, or motivation left, annotate callables and classes with PEP-compliant type hints and decorate those callables and classes with the @beartype.beartype decorator.<p>Don't get me wrong, I think static type checking is great. Now if you need to add a decorator on top of each class and function AND maintain 100% code coverage, well that does not sound like "zero-cost" to me. I can hardly think of a greater cost just to continue dynamically typing your code and maintain guarantees about external dependencies with no type hints. | null | null | 41,781,433 | 41,766,035 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,338 | comment | tananan | 2024-10-09T15:55:37 | null | The thing with available ligand + protein recorded structures is that they are much, much more sparse than available protein structures themselves (which are already kinda sparse, but good enough to allow AlphaFold). Some of the commonly-used datasets for benchmarking structure-based affinity models are so biased you can get a decent AUC by only looking at the target or ligand in isolation (lol).<p>Docking ligands doesn't make for particularly great structures, and snapshot structures really miss out on the important dynamics.<p>So it's hard for me to imagine how alphafold can help with small molecule development (alphafold2 doesn't even know what small molecules are). I agree it totally sounds plausible in principle, I've been in a team where such an idea was pushed before it flopped, but in practice I feel there's much less use to extract from there than one might think.<p>EDIT: To not be so purely negative: I'm sure real use can be found in tinkering with AlphaFold. But I really don't think it has or will become a big deal in small drug discovery workflows. My PoV is at least somewhat educated on the matter, but of course it does not reflect the breadth of what people are doing out there. | null | null | 41,788,707 | 41,786,101 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,342 | comment | sandworm101 | 2024-10-09T15:55:53 | null | I think it was around 2007 when I was setting up a new netbook for someone. I plugged a mouse, an old <i>Microsoft</i> USB mouse, and got a popup saying that windows needed a network connection in order to download the driver for my new USB device. That was the day I abandoned all hope for windows as a user-friendly OS. | null | null | 41,789,220 | 41,788,557 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,344 | comment | jmull | 2024-10-09T15:55:56 | null | The "Fair Source Software" is an interesting idea, but it's just a variant of software with a proprietary license to me.<p>I like the built-in commitment to open source the software after a period of time. That's the interesting part to me. (I'd drop the term "fair source software" -- whether it's fair or not depends on perspective and details -- and just call it delayed open source publication software.)<p>But let's be clear here: the idea is for the author to benefit from the popularity and acceptance of OSS while protecting their own financial interests. I think that's inherently a dodge. It's an effort to make it seem as free and open as possible, but if you figure out a way to make nice money off it, the author will come after you for payment, which means it's not free and open.<p>BTW, I'm not much of an OSS zealot. As a software developer, I heartily approve of software developers being paid for their efforts. I just think it should be done in an up-front manner. | null | null | 41,788,461 | 41,788,461 | null | null | null | null |

41,789,354 | comment | kenrick95 | 2024-10-09T15:56:34 | null | This is really cool. Coincidentally I am currently in the process of building one myself (just for personal use), though mine has much less features than this one. I hope this I can take some inspiration from your site.<p>Some issues I faced after trying it out for few minutes:<p>- When creating itineraries, I filled in the country field, but upon pressing enter or the arrow button, it just disappeared?<p>- On the same text field, I'm on dark mode, but the color contrast is quite poor (can't read the placeholder text)<p>- When I'm on the per-day itinerary planning page, when entering the hh:mm field, it didn't move my focus to the next one (so if I want to enter 08:00, I have to enter "8" then <tab> then "8" then <tab> then "0" then <tab> then "0"<p>- After I entered the hh:mm and press the plus icon, I suppose we're supposed to enter the plans starting that time. So I enter some stuff to it, and upon pressing enter, it appears there. It's fine, but it feels like the UX would be better if the text box is autofocused again, so we can quickly enter several plans for that timing<p>- I'm confused with the "edit"/"editing" button, not sure what it does... but when the text goes to "editing", I can delete some items I guess?<p>Anyway that's all I have for now. Sorry for the long wall of text.<p>Cheers~ | null | null | 41,788,246 | 41,788,246 | null | null | null | null |

Of course neither German nor French would be a better alternative as a global international neutral language.<p>> To my knowledge, the only proposal that gained some modest but significant results on that side over the last century is Esperanto. You know, the language against which France has put its veto has it was proposed as language of communication in League of Nations (1920s) or UNESCO (1954) and still is unhelpful with its adoption in United Nations.<p>Esperanto is not a "global international neutral language" either. While artificially constructed, it's functionally a Romance language, deriving over 80% of its vocabulary as well as the majority of its grammatical structure from Latin and/or Romance languages. The majority of the remainder comes from other European languages, primarily Germanic languages. | null | null | 41,788,256 | 41,787,647 | null | [

41,789,375 | comment | bunderbunder | 2024-10-09T15:58:17 | null | John Backus's Turing Award lecture meditated on this idea, and concluded that the best way to do this at scale is to simply minimize the creation of states in the first place, and be careful and thoughtful about <i>where</i> and <i>how</i> we create the states that can't be avoided.<p>I would argue that that's actually a better guide to how we manage complexity in the physical world. Mechanical engineers generally like to minimize the number of moving parts in a system. When they can't avoid moving parts, they tend to fixate on them, and put a lot of effort into creating linkages and failsafes to try to prevent them from interacting in catastrophic ways.<p>The software engineering way would be to create extra moving parts just because complicated things make us feel smart, and deal with potential adverse interactions among them by posting signs that say "Careful, now!" without clearly explaining what the reader is supposed to be careful of. 50 years later, people who try to stick to the (very sound!) principles that Backus proposed are still regularly dismissed as being hipsters and pedants. | null | null | 41,787,406 | 41,758,371 | null | [

41,789,383 | comment | solardev | 2024-10-09T15:58:43 | null | One project I really enjoyed making was an open-source indoor web map for a museum: <a href="https://map.fieldmuseum.org/" rel="nofollow">https://map.fieldmuseum.org/</a><p>(Speaking for myself only. I don't work there anymore.)<p>I don't know if the map's made people's lives any better, or just a little more annoying, maybe =/ Personally, I would've preferred a regular paper map on the back of a brochure, which can be both much bigger than a phone screen and not require any learned UI interactions. Unfortunately, the powers-that-be stopped using paper maps during COVID (a decision I tried to fight, unsuccessfully). So our visitors could either use this map on their phones or not have one at all. In that sense, I guess it was better than nothing...?<p>At the time we built this (a few years ago), indoor mapping (as opposed to the typical outdoor street mapping of Google/Apple/OSM/etc.) was a pretty niche area, and the commercial solutions we saw were all some combination of 1) expensive, 2) slow, 3) clunky, 4) too proprietary, or 5) not mobile-friendly.<p>So we set out to make our own... with a budget of $0 and a dev team of 1 inexperienced web dev (me). It was the first time I ever worked on a web map, and trying to hack indoor areas and multiple floors onto it was... a challenge! It's got a lot of problems (it's laggy on some phones, editing the geometry is a huge PITA, UI isn't great and has bugs, branding/marketing imposed many restrictions, etc.). Honestly, it's pretty jank code that I wish I could rewrite from scratch. We had a whole roadmap of planned improvements and cleanups, but our team was forced to moved on right after initial release.<p>But on the plus side:<p>1) It's free and open-source: <a href="https://github.com/arcataroger/openlayers_indoor_map">https://github.com/arcataroger/openlayers_indoor_map</a> (but it's abandoned and I wouldn't recommend using it unless you really have no other options; check <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Indoor_Mapping" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Indoor_Mapping</a> first for alternatives)<p>2) It uses vanilla JS/HTML/CSS. This is a decision I question in hindsight, as it made state and UI management unnecessarily difficult. But it seemed right at the time, given the need to minimize long-term maintenance (i.e. JS framework churn) because of the limited dev resources available in the museum and nonprofit worlds.<p>3) It's better than nothing :)<p>I wish I had the time and resources to rewrite this whole thing from scratch, having learned from this experience. I'd fix a ton of bugs, change up the UI, clarify the symbology, and maybe try to push some of the indoor-specific features as proper upstream PRs to OpenLayers & QGIS rather than just hacking them into this app as one-offs.<p>I think having a "proper" open-source frontend indoor mapping solution would be a great boon to many museums, art galleries, airports, malls, colleges, etc. Google Maps actually does a pretty good job at this for certain places like airports (e.g. SFO: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@37.6164644,-122.3859568,17.78z" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/maps/@37.6164644,-122.3859568,17.78z</a>), but their process for that is totally opaque, and it's never clear to me how an institution can ask for their space to be mapped like that (or submit their own?). Even when I worked at the museum, we could never figure out how to actually get their map of us corrected. It's still missing all the floors and many exhibitions are in the wrong places: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8661273,-87.6169018,20.06z" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8661273,-87.6169018,20.06z</a><p>Maybe I'll pick this up again someday and try to work on it as a side project... | null | null | 41,780,810 | 41,780,810 | null | null | null | null |

Not necessarily a deep philosophical debate but rather a conversation about AI limits, user discovery and usability, that sort of thing although I did touch upon alignment, guardrails, responsible computing type stuff.<p>Recently I did a few interviews in the same space and this wasn't even a consideration - I think the genie has left the bottle. Signaling about AI safety and alignment is being shed in favor of technical execution and speed, probably because we're starting to see the plateau forming with regards to machine intelligence and how far off AGI/ASI truly is. | null | null | 41,788,216 | 41,788,216 | null | null | null | null |

Gendered articles are so annoying to remember, especially if you have to travel between German-speaking places that don't agree on all the noun genders. English speakers cannot be expected to understand this!<p>That's what Dutch did. As spoken in most of the Netherlands, Dutch "eliminated" grammatical gender... which is to say it now has two grammatical genders: "both" ("de") and "neither" ("het"). | null | null | 41,788,175 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |
41,789,391 | comment | IncreasePosts | 2024-10-09T15:59:11 | null | > In spite of the recent incident, Durán says that since 2018 he’s been able to see the benefits of jaguar conservation on his ranch firsthand. He’s now one of the most active cat defenders. In December 2023, he became a park ranger and helped three former hunters do the same. This transformation is an example of how improving data collection and carrying out interventions based on evidence in the communities benefit both humans and cats.<p>I guess the point is that ranchers don't blindly hate big cats. They hate suffering large economic losses due to big cats. Once they aren't suffering the losses, they're happy to have the cats around. | null | null | 41,788,512 | 41,787,967 | null | [

It has a clear definition, but the interpretation and the consequence on that definition are in relation to a business. I don't think however that is any different to how the consequences of an Open Source license are specific to the license or the company that runs it. A GPL software with a CLA is very different than a GPL software without a CLA.<p>> Which, I suppose, is a roundabout way of saying: “fair” to whom?<p>The goal of the FSL is to ensure that you have aligned incentives as a company with all the users that you have, and you protect yourself against free loaders.<p>I wrote down my thoughts on a longer version a while back here: <a href="https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/9/23/fsl-agpl-open-source-businesses/" rel="nofollow">https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/9/23/fsl-agpl-open-source-busi...</a> | null | null | 41,789,129 | 41,788,461 | null | null | null | null |
41,789,396 | comment | tetha | 2024-10-09T15:59:28 | null | I had exactly this discussion today in an architectural discussion about an infrastructure extension today. As our newest team member noted, we planned to follow the reference architecture of a system in some places, and chose not to follow the reference architecture in other places.<p>And this led to a really good discussion pulling the reference architecture of this system apart and understanding what it optimizes for (resilience and fault tolerance), what it sacrifices (cost, number of systems to maintain) and what we need. And yes, following the reference architecture in one place and breaking it in another place makes sense.<p>And I think that understanding the different options, as well as the optimization goals setting them apart, allows you to make a more informed decision and allows you to make a stronger argument why this is a good decision. In fact, understanding the optimization criteria someone cares about allows you to avoid losing them in topics they neither understand nor care about.<p>For example, our CEO will not understand the technical details why the reference architecture is resilient, or why other choices are less resilient. And he would be annoyed about his time being wasted if you tried. But he is currently very aware of customer impacts due to outages. And like this, we can offer a very good argument to invest money in one place for resilience, and why we can save money in other places without risking a customer impact.<p>We sometimes follow rules, and in other situations, we might not. | null | null | 41,785,113 | 41,758,371 | null | [
