Beautiful!

Treating protein as calories is a category error.

Fat and carbs are energy, properly treated as calories. Protein is not (in a non-starving person) used for energy, and it should be measured in grams not calories. The input calories weren't lost, they were converted to protein for use building body structure instead of energetic use.

If the authors wanted to make an honest argument here, they would show the relative conversion of feed calories to animal protein across different livestock.

No opinion on this particular package. But on the naming, "Apache" ECharts...

It's long since time that Apache foundation projects stop using the Apache name. Apache is a license, a foundation, a webserver. Apache supported projects have little to do with that - not the same people, not the same product area. Just some help with money and logistics.

And for those that argue the tie to the Apache org:

They're not CNCF Kubernetes, CNCF Helm, CNCF Jaeger. They're Kubernetes, Helm, Jaeger.

Counterpoint: the product vision that is already on display here is going in a great direction, and colocating a spreadsheet with your accounting app is a great idea. I love the idea of being freed from having to use excel for particular aspects of my accounting flow. You've got the export. People that want to keep their painful workflows can be masochistically happy.

This is clearly not an attempt to replace Excel, it's an attempt to accomplish a set of use cases in a better way than clunky export-import flows.

The in-app sheets look great, keep going!

"...the chatter in the legacy media about AI being in a hype cycle or bubble is simply wrong, and why understanding just a little bit about where the advances in AI capabilities are coming from shows why. Continued AI acceleration in the coming months and years isn’t guesswork — its baked-in. There are persistent, reliable processes behind the steady advances as we’ll see."

And not a word of protest was uttered.

Macron has been advocating for a European Army for around a decade. With the recent EU defence spending announcements the idea of a unified command structure in Europe is becoming likely.

The French offer to extend their nuclear umbrella seems to me to have two purposes:

1. Deal with the immediate vulnerability opened by questions over U.S. Article 5 commitments to NATO

2. Try to get ahead of potential nuclear weapons proliferation among other EU states

Actually this is addressed in the article. Unique signing keys per capture or per short rotation period.

"Democracy depends on free speech, separation of powers, and smartphone camera design.

These technologies are tied together in a chain of trust, such that each layer verifies the next. In iOS systems, this chain begins with the Boot ROM, which is a piece of unchangeable code that is the first code to run each time the system starts. Each of the later pieces of software that are loaded are signed in a way that can be verified by the previous layer. So the Boot ROM can verify the bootloader’s signature, which can then verify the OS kernel signature, which can verify extensions and device drivers, etc. The real way it works has further protections and complexities, but this is the basic scheme.

Wouldn't it be great if smartphones became unassailable sources of truth?"
