I think some people just don't really enjoy food. I've had a friend since high school who seems to be perfectly well adjusted and isn't a picky eater at all aside from not liking fish, and he basically never has any opinion or preferences about food whatsoever. He doesn't eat junk food at all, and eating basically seems to be a chore for him. He's always been really skinny, and he started lifting weights a while ago but it seems like he can't eat enough to put on mass at all. I don't think it's the environment in which he was raised, either, because his parents were completely different and always cooked a lot. I have sort of entertained the idea that he has an impaired sense of smell or something, but I don't think that's actually the case. He just doesn't get much enjoyment out of food for some reason. I just find it hard to understand because I really enjoy cooking, eating, and trying new foods. mystes fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Dec 1, 2019 |

a rare mostly-good hn post api 2 hours ago | parent | favorite | on: Virgil Griffith arrested over North Korea: enginee... I knew Virgil and considered him a friend long ago when we were both very into evolutionary inspired AI research. I met him at one of the ALife conferences (in Bloomington, IN at IU) and he later attended a group I helped found in Boston called Grey Thumb. Our archives are still at greythumg.org including many talks on ALife, genetic programming, and theoretical biology. Anyway a few years ago I watched him get sucked into the same vortex as many others I knew back then. I am not talking about cryptocurrency but... I guess I'll call it "alt-right" for lack of a better term. His feeds started featuring race-and-IQ material and such and I heard stories about him behaving like a misogynistic rear end in a top hat which is not the Virgil I met in the 2000s. Seems like a ton of people got their brains sucked out around 2012-2016. I know many others including a once brilliant writer and artist who now sounds like Vox Day and has done nothing but rant about it for years (and zero artistic output of course). Virgil understands a lot about evolution, so I spent some time working on a letter intended as an attempt to deprogram him. I took the approach of explaining from first principles why I reject this ideology for not only moral but also practical and theoretical reasons. (I now feel motivated to turn it into a blog post if I can find the time, but I have a startup and am time poor these days.) When I saw him get into Ethereum stuff I congratulated him and hoped it would give him something sufficiently interesting to do. Anyway I wish I had some Earth-shattering point or revelation here, but this just saddens me. Virgil had a misanthropic streak I can empathize with as someone else who grew up as a geek having an awful time in public school. Underneath that he struck me as a basically playful person with a powerful mind who could have done great things. I wish he would have found something more productive to sink his brain into like AI. Now I'll have to listen to the media trash him too, calling him a "techbro" when he was anything but that. Like I said I was hoping Ethereum would be that but that was before I saw how toxic that world was becoming. These events make it look worse than I thought. Honestly I partly blame whatever weird nexus he fell into. I feel like someone brainwashed him and strapped a bomb to him and sent him off to do their dirty work. None of the other high up bag holders in Ethereum went to the DPRK and now they are washing their hands of it. Anything to pump the token value I guess. I hope if that's the case someone is held accountable but they won't be. I bet they won't even contribute to his legal defense fund. I also wish I was less time poor. There is something deeply toxic that has infected our community. I am still not quite able to see it in its entirety, though I can see its edges and when people get infected by it its obvious. For years I've been straining to compose some magnum opus to deprogram people but I can't grasp the essence of the thing quite well enough. Maybe this is how people felt when Scientology took over Hollywood.

jdkdnfndnfjd 1 hour ago [-] How is this not the consensus? This guy said on national television that Elon musk is a psychopath who has no empathy for dying children — that the submarine was purely a cold and calculated PR stunt. This is the embodiment of defamation. A stupid, brutish thing to say and it’s not factually correct to boot. And then he tops it all off by telling Elon musk he should shove the submarine up his rear end. Seriously gently caress this guy. In my opinion Elon musk should sue him for defamation. But nobody cares about Elon musk because hEs RiCh So gently caress HiM

Take something like a bank loan. If you had a model at a bank which took credit score, income, wealth, and collateral into account, black Americans would have loans rejected at a higher rate than white Americans. Is this model racist? No, this model doesn't even know what race is, all it knows is credit scores, income, wealth, and collateral. Does the fact that black Americans used to be slaves in the US, or were kept out of certain housing markets, contribute towards the fact that black Americans, on average, have lower credit scores, income, wealth, and collateral? Of course. But is this model racist? Literally not at all. It is completely unbiased, and exactly what the model should be. If the case you're making is that you think that there should be a national effort to correct for historical injustices that were done by the state by actively discriminating by race, that is a completely different discussion.

Ask HN: Why GraphQL APIs but no Datalog APIs? why do people use this rpc thing with production-ready implementations that plug into the frameworks and database they already use, when they could use this academic thing from the 70s by simply downloading this abandoned project with a custom makefile from sourceforge and rewriting their application using an artisanal database that has probably never seen concurrent use or a failure scenario, given that they are entirely unrelated except that graphql malaproposedly has "query language" in its name?

suffix posted:Ask HN: Why GraphQL APIs but no Datalog APIs? I will unironically go to bat for Datalog. I'm working on a delegated authn/authz system (which I hope to open source) where the policy language is expressed in terms of Datalog, instead of something like AWS IAM, which throws JSON at you and has been trying to make up for this mistake since day one. GraphQL is this bizarre declarative-but-with-mutating shitshow and I think there exists a way to do a better job building arbitrary query-based stuff via Datalog-over-REST than any GraphQL monstrosity you want to throw out there. It involves effort, but whatever, build good things. There are multiple implementations now, you don't have to use such an old one (I've used Datafrog in Rust and Jatalog on the JVM). The central idea, and the implementations you actually have to care about, are great.

my ptrauth paper got linked on hn so let's see what the hackers have to sayquote:Nope. ptrauth needs a good hash in Hardware. There's only crc32c, aes, sha1 (-160) and sha256 (i.e. sha2-256). Of these crc32c is entirely insecure, aes not applicable, so we are left with AMD, Intel laptops (Goldmont), armv8 and Power8. For sure we don't care about any SHA vulnerabilities here, only about speed. quote:If you don't use the standard library, and you don't need JIT, you can simply not use pointers to callbacks. You can still have something like qsort() but you need to have statically defined: quote:Is it technically possible to design a MMU that prevents a process reading or writing to a region of memory that don't belong to it? quote:Wow. Incredible to see the new heights of complexity that the von Neumann architecture has led to. Corruption of data leading to corruption of control leading to control flow guarantees through the addition of cryptography. Wow.

i'm just intrigued by the idea that there might still be mill fans after all these years of nothing. like they could absolutely have made some prototype chips by this point if their design was worth anything i love some of the mill talking points, like they use a generic instruction encoding and it's just the interpretation of the bits in those encodings that varies between models so somehow the programming model is easier, for all the programmers who are keying in their assembly programs with the front switches and don't mind rewriting for a completely different isa as long as they don't have to write out where the operands go on a new piece of masking tape
