I'm guessing you're not American, since we don't call it paracetamol, so maybe European? Hopefully not astroturfing...

And if you are European, I'd be surprised that you're so pro-pasteurization on dairy, given that Europe is much looser than the US on requiring that (but tighter on controls upstream at the farm-level). I miss all those raw milk young cheeses.

But acetaminophen, honestly, shouldn't be recommended so frequently, especially for kids, and if he's against it, I view that as a big point in his favor. The distance between the therapeutic and liver toxic doses is too small for kids, less than 2.5x the max recommended dose, and it's based on kid's weight, so very young kids can't really be given the amount shown on the box. For example, a hepatotoxic dose for my 5 year old based on their weight is just 3/4 of the adult daily max recommended dose. That's a pointy-ass UX failure. My mom, a pediatrician, never let it in the house because she saw too many kids come through the pediatric ER with liver failure because of it in her hospital shifts. It's the leading cause of acute liver toxicity in the US.

I have 10 windows open and 8 of them have about 20-30 tabs (two of them have less than 10 each), I don't think my hoarding is thriving. It's more of a scatterbrain saying "Oh I'll get back to that idea", and taking days or weeks to get back to it.

In Vivaldi, vertical tabs mean each tab takes about 40 vertical pixels of height, and about 250 pixels width, so I can skim through the titles of each tab...

I disagree. The bare minimum they could have done in all these years was build a proper high quality, tightly coupled component library instead of riding this "copy paste your way to a result" trend.

Not stuff like shadcn and Tailwind Catalyst, but a proper versioned, tightly coupled UI library with rich theming capabilities made for the 99% of users who aren't skilled enough at design to be cobbling together their own design systems or editing a Button component directly.

Instead they rode the wave (despite being best positioned to redirect the wave) and they're paying the price.

If it wasn't AI it'd be the first version of MUI that moves on from Material Design 2 as a default. Or Hero UI v3. Or literally anyone who brings sanity back to the space of component libraries and leaves "copy and paste code snippets" behind

Hi builders!
I was falling asleep when the idea for this project came to me. So, I've decided to vibecode it via Lovable to the best of my ability. This is a personal/inspirational project, but I've tried to make it as good as possible given the constraints.

Tech Stack:

- Frontend: React 18 + Vite + Tailwind CSS

- AI: Gemini 2.5 Flash (via Lovable AI Gateway) for low-latency, empathetic coaching (to keep costs low and ship fast)

- Infrastructure: Lovable Cloud / Supabase

TL;DR: An LLM-powered "What If" view of your potential. Built for fun, inspiration, and research.

I would appreciate your feedback, guys. Thank you in advance!

P.S. Initial post got bugged, so I had to recreate it without a hyperlink.

While you raise a valid point, I think we should also be careful to not accidentally apply so-called "question substitution" here: whether or not his mind already was "warped" compared to the norm is a different question from whether or not it was warped before and did not warp any further.

To me it seems pretty difficult to argue that the time spent underground did not affect his mind, regardless of the state it was in before.

I get a lot of nip-slip, camel toe and provocative poses. This has been going on for a while now. I never log into the site and I have never search for this on YT. It's mostly in the YT shorts but uBlock rules to nuke the shorts keep breaking, I assume on purpose. Far worse are the AI slop videos. If I click on AI slop by mistake then I have to close the browser, run bleachbit and start over again or all I get is AI slop.

I only watch a handful of channels on YT. If they also uploaded to Rumble then I could finally block YT in uBlock once and for all. I say this knowing that once Rumble is half as popular all the sensual and AI crap will end up there too.

I was a user of StackOverflow for quite a while. I appreciated the friction. It taught me how to ask better questions to the point where I'd be doing all the research needed to ask a good question and just solve it myself along the way. It's a skill that has made a world of difference in my career relative to my peers. Makes me want to reply to my coworkers simply with "Closed as Duplicate" or "Closed - Needs details or clarity".

Its a false belief that distro based package management workflows are, or ever were, more secure. Its the same problem, maybe one step removed. Look at all the exploits with things like libxz

There was also the python 2.7 problem for a long time, thanks to this model, it couldn't be updated quickly and developers, including the OS developers, became dependent on it being there by default, and built things around it.

Then when it EOL'd, it left alot of people exposed to vulnerabilities and was quite the mess to update.

"I’m not saying a balanced diet cannot consist of dairy, but implying it should, as the plate diagram does, is highly misleading and outright paid for."

And to exclude it would imply that it cannot be part of a balanced diet. That would be misleading based on the predominate culture.

"I would gently suggest that you may be blinded by a cultural bias here,"

I would suggest that you are not aware of the cultural background. The US was colonized by Europeans. Many cultures who immigrated also used milk, cheese, or other dairy products. It makes sense that the guidelines be based on the cultural background of the foods eaten in that country.

Also many Asian countries have nutrition guidelines that include dairy products, not to mention historical cultural foods that do include dairy.

There was a TED Talk some years back from a guy who was part of it, talking about how he ended up in it and got out. He was a lost kid who didn’t know where his life was going, and someone took advantage of that and gave him a place to belong. It doesn’t sound much different than the playbook of most cults and even many religions.

> That said, food deserts still exist, and real whole food is expensive, especially in a time of dire economic stress.

I can still routinely get potatoes in season at 20c/lb, carrots in season at 40c/lb, bananas at 60c/lb, dried legumes at $1/lb or not much more, frozen ground meat in the ballpark of $3/lb, eggs for less than $4/dz (almost as much protein as a pound of fatty meat), boneless skinless chicken breast under $5/lb, butter and cheddar cheese at right about $5/lb, 2% milk at $1.25/L (skim milk powder is a bit more economical if you don't want the milk fat)...

In less healthy options, white flour at 45c/lb, polished white rice less than $1/lb (sometimes as low as 70c), rolled oats at $1.50/lb (though I'm leery about the glyphosate), select dried fruits in the ballpark of $3/lb, bacon at $3.60/lb...

all $CAD, by the way. I converted weights but not currency. Last time I looked at American food prices, you guys had way cheaper meat than us after currency conversion.

> One thing I also do is that (i have the luxury of time to do this, which I recognize is something not everyone has) if i want something really sweet and it's not a fruit, I generally make it myself. If I am having a birthday party, I'll make the cake myself. If my nephew wants to leave christmas cookies out for Santa, I'll make them myself. If I want ice cream, I have an ice cream machine and I'll make it myself.

... Generic sandwich cookies and tea biscuits under $2/lb (though they used to be considerably cheaper)....

I absolutely agree with you about the sweet cravings, though.

> You can give up you SWE job or whatever and move to a small town/rural area, but you're not going to convince anyone to give you a mortgage off your income from the subway at the local truck stop, or whatever labor gig you can get at the local industrial concern

There's certainly SWE jobs in LCOL places but even if there weren't, one's savings from a HCOL area should go pretty far in a LCOL one. Also, thinking that you can't get a mortgage off working at Subway in a small town is just out of touch. You'd probably have to work a lot longer than a cushy SWE job, but it's still possible.

From the preface:

Why this book?

Providing a concise start, a no-frills, opinionated intro to programming from first define to deploying an application on just 64 pages.

What is Scheme?

Scheme is a programming language — a Lisp — that follows the principle “design not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary”.

I thought that BMI did the opposite. I'm a naturally thin person who has also been vegan for over 20 years, so I usually have to pay attention to whether I'm eating enough. I recently did a BMI test and was surprised how average my score was. I've known people who appear healthy and active that inch into the "overweight" category. It really is a bad measurement system given the whole muscle mass factor.

Doctors are usually just normal people that had the means, memory, drive and endurance to get through an exclusive education that will guarantee them a life in relative affluence and maximized adoration.

Connected thinking, interest in helping and extensive depth or breadth of knowledge in anything beyond what they need for their chosen specializations day to day work are rare and coincidental.

True and what you can realize/read between the lines is something deeper.

LLMs are fallible.
Humans are fallible.
LLMs improve (and improve fast).
Humans do not (overall, ie. "group of N experts in X", "N random internet people").

All those "turing tests" will start flipping.

Today it's "N random internet humans" score too low on those benchmarks, tomorrow it'll be "group of N expert humans in X" score too low.

They do it by citizenship, and you might be surprised how many investment properties are vacant homes, but I’m not necessarily advocating for this in any case. The real cure would just be right to build laws.

The problem is, you can’t do that at the federal level, and the people who vote at the local level are the homeowners who benefit from housing restrictions.

The federal government has a very difficult task. They want to make home prices basically stay flat for a long time, and they have limited tools with which to do it since they can’t do the one thing every economist agrees would solve the problem.
Show HN: Kerns – A Continuous Research Workspace
by kanodiaayush | 2026-01-07 22:51:16+00:00
Most research tools help you collect links. Kerns is built for ongoing research.

You define topics and sources once. Kerns continuously tracks them over time, surfaces what changes, and structures the material so understanding compounds instead of resetting each session.

The key difference is the interface layer. Beyond feeds and summaries, Kerns organizes research into reasoning-ready views—maps, structured summaries, and synthesized perspectives—so you can actually think through complex areas rather than just store information.

We built this for people doing deep, long-running research (researchers, analysts, investors, founders, autodidacts) where the hard part isn’t finding sources, but keeping a coherent mental model as the space evolves.

Would love feedback, especially from people who’ve tried to maintain research across weeks or months.

People should be able to get cash transfers to buy goods on the general market. There shouldn't be food stamps.

The success of SNAP comes despite its inherent inefficiency, friction, and the indignity of its limitations. We structure the program the way we do in order to mollify voters who twitch at the idea of the poor ever enjoying anything.

Inequality isn't just about healthcare costs, biological metrics, etc. It is also deeply corrosive socially and psychologically, and this side of things is systemically underappreciated in policy circles.

To be sure, our food and diets are bad. Americans broadly should eat healthier. But are society's interests really better served by insisting that a poor child not be allowed to have a cake and blow out the candles on his birthday, the way all of his friends do?

What I find works better than tabs for things like YouTube is “installed” PWAs. In my case under macOS, I use Safari to do this (File > Add to Dock…), which spins out an independent single site browser process that has a dock icon, presence in OS window management functions, etc as well as both windows and tabs. This way I can keep a few YouTube videos open without them getting lost in the shuffle of browser windows and tabs. These windows stay open even if I close my main browser too which is also nice.

> Americans eat so much processed food simply because it is much cheaper than fresh food.

I don't understand how people come to this conclusion

Beans/grains/legumes are cheap

Frozen veg is dirt cheap (and retains its nutrition as good as, or better than fresh). In-season fruit and veg

Which foods are more expensive?

People are door-dashing their salaries away and complaining about the price of fresh food...

Convenience and addiction makes more sense, certainly not price

I know someone who used ChatGPT to diagnose themselves with a rare and specific disease. They paid out of pocket for some expensive and intrusive diagnostics that their doctor didn't want to perform and it came out, surprise, that they didn't have this disease. The faith of this person in ChatGPT remains nonetheless just as high.

I'm constantly amazed at the attitude that doctors are useless and that their multiple years of medical school and practical experience amounts to little more than a Google search. Or as someone put it, "just because a doctor messed up once it doesn't mean that you are the doctor now".

They can also be a machine that might add a non-negligible amount of mineral oils and possibly other stuff to your food. The guideline to use should be that the ingredient list should be as short as possible. If it has more than 5 ingredients, that's already incredibly suspicious in my opinion. The problem is that some stuff (like a mineral oil contamination) doesn't even have to be declared on the ingredient list.

For example, normal simple bread should only have 4 or maybe 5 ingredients.

Fwiw this is how cars work when you change to a country that drives on the other side of the road. It seems like mirroring the car would make sense. But really everything is shifted to the opposite side as a translation without reflection. It's easier to manufacture, but as many of you will know and is apparent to all rental agencies, adapting doesn't take long for the average driver, even on manual transmission.

Sorry some of you missed it. And in particular with this one, a lot more people saw the original one and discussed it. It's a huge thread. And now just repeating alot of the talking points in that thread here because again, the submitted post isn't anything new, it's hardly a substantial blog post. Part of the dupe notice is to highlight that maybe your talking point was already covered recently in another thread. You are forcing us to see it again because you're pushing it onto the front page again and into a hundred feeds as if it's fresh. But it's not. It's just a split up/repeated thread about something from 4 days ago. Anyways, OP maybe didn't realize it but you've been around long enough to know things move fast around here.

The full text of the 2nd amendment is

> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

For the vast majority of US legal history the interpretation of this confusing text focused on the first half ("A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State"). Nowadays all we hear is the 2nd half.

The idea that it's about an individual's right to carry and not about the right of a state to holding a standing army is a very modern invention and actually started around the Civil Rights era. Black Panthers were actually one of the major groups that pushed for this interpretation. To be clear, that interpretation existed before that but it was definitely a niche idea.

Tim Walz is threatening to mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to expel ICE.

The 2nd amendment was made exactly for a situation like this but today its original intent feels far gone.

I disagree. Demand is the big problem, not supply.

The general public possesses domain-independent expertise on social pressures, institutional and financial incentives, and other non-epistemological factors that in some cases can support a rational rejection of scientific consensus.

Inadequate gatekeeping—premature or belated consensus or revision—is a failure of a given field of inquiry, not a failure of the general public.

Yes, but the standards aren't based on "the best protein to absorb", they are based on whole diet consumption. Studies like the one I linked to are where the recommendations come from. It is a misunderstanding to read a recommendation for 1.2g/kg (or whatever) as saying that the 1.2g is supposed to all be meat quality protein. It's supposed to be the protein in your total mixed diet.

Your diet contains many sources of protein lower quality than beans (as in the linked study with high level Dutch athletes getting 19% of their protein from bread), you do need to count those. They do add up and if you don't, you end up assuming you need way more protein than you do.

I can't agree with this. There is ample evidence of serious flaws since 2021. I hate that. I wish it weren't true. But an objective analysis of the record demands that view.

Here is a fun one from September (CVE-2025-39816): "io_uring/kbuf: always use READ_ONCE() to read ring provided buffer lengths."

That is an attackers wet dream right there: bump the length and exfiltrate sensitive data. And it wasn't just some short lived "Linus's branch" work no one actually ran: it existed for a time in, for example, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (circa 2024 release date.) I just cherry picked that one from among many.

You may be interested in learning about the Land Value Tax[0] which will in effect, taxes become more burdensome for leaving land unproductive (e.g., empty housing or land). It also shifts the calculus on home improvements, which means remodeling your home or doing other perhaps large pieces of upkeep will not trigger a property tax increase as it does today, which is better for median home owners as well.

I trust they considered the bias in medical research that exists in their training. I wonder if OpenAI will implement morbidity & mortality (M&M) rounds to learn from the mistakes and missed diagnosis.

Based on the reports of various failings on the safety front, I sure hope users will take that into account before they get advice to take 500g of aspirin.

Nutrition science has come up with acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR). The recommendation for adults is 45-65% of total calories from carbohydrates, 20-35% from fat, and 10-35% from protein. That is definitely not low carb.

In addition, the sources of those macronutrients matter. The ideal range for saturated fat is 5-10% of total calories. Most if not all carbohydrates should be from complex sources like vegetables, beans, and whole grains.

I haven't read the new guidelines in detail but if they're recommending red meat and whole milk as primary foods, I doubt they meet these recommendations.
