This is why we have linux distributions with maintainers who can take at least a basic look at the software, vet dependencies and run it through a test suite. And they only have to do that once for each new version and not again and again f

As long as we pretend this is all just a question of individual choice and willpower, yes. If the goal is regulating the industry so reaching health goals gets easier for everyone, UPF as a concept is useful.

How do you show that a certain food is quickly absorbing or slowly absorbing? Would you require that every food item is evaluated on each individual characteristic?

"Ultraprocessed" is at least a tangible definition though (even if it's a proxy) where you can empirically show that a certain product is ultraprocessed or not based on the way it is manufactured. It also has enough overlap w

Yeah, I agree with that. Star Trek did invent some iconic tech, but they were always more aspirational in the sense of "this is what we'd like society to be" instead of showing how the day-to-day life of average families woul

I like how SMTP was at least honest in calling it the "receipt to" address and not the "sender" address. Edit: wrong.

I'm just wondering why this problem shows up now . Why do lots of people suddenly post their old emails with a defective QP decoder? > For some reason or other, people have been posting a lot of excerpts from old emails on Twitter

Maybe it's in the details? The article reads as if it was longer known that astrocytes somehow modulate neurons, but not the mechanism behind it, not what exactly there is modulated and on which stimuli. I imagine it's the diffe

I like the "coauthored by Claude" notice just above the "read with Claude" button. So I can have an article summarized by AI that was written by AI and is also about AI.

So in other words, communism pretends to solve the problem of power accumulation but doesn't, while capitalism doesn't even claim to do so (and only occasionally even sees it as a problem at all)

The article describes the mechanism in some detail near the end. As I understand it, it's not really "coordination" in the sense that they exchange messages through the electricity. It's more that every cell has to maint

There are lot of useless, self-serving abstractions out there (looking at you, Spring and Angular) There is also a lot of useful abstraction that ensures you can more easily understand the system - and that sneaks in orthogonal features suc

Good point...

Yeah, both are good additions - in moderation. I think the model just went into extremes with them.

Also, nevermind the tech companies building their own proxy networks, such as Find My or Amazon Sidewalk.

The absolutely 100% leafless trees stretched my suspension of disbelief a bit. They look less like "end of fall/beginning of winter" and more like "dead". Also, the model goes a bit overboard with the electrical app

Think about it this way: without the app, 100% of your savings would be inaccessible, so it would be only fair if apple took 30% of them...

Yeah, sometimes it seems there is a certain kind of devs who don't just like code for the sake of it, but have an active hostility against GUI tools and visualization in general, for whatever reasons. I get the appeal of "change a

Trump seems to have an obsession with all things gold, so I guess even that "golden age" could simply be interpreted as "the Trump age".

OT, but I find this a perfect example why "data-driven design" is an empty term if you don't know what it's being designed for - i.e. what metrics are used to evaluate it in the end. Both, optimizing for ease of shoppi

Somehow I find the "ChatGPT boss" the most unsettling. Sure, managers or executives using AI to write tone-deaf announcements or emails is nothing new by now - but devising the entire business strategy? Makes one wonder how many c

I found it kind of fitting that didn't even describe what a human would still do at level 5 nor why it would be desirable. It's just the "natural" progression of a 5 step ladder and that seems to be reason enough.
