Just because most people won’t quit smoking doesn’t mean that’s not the best solution.

Our bodies were built to be fasting regularly and have an entire biological process cycle you only can access by fasting.

It’s like driving a car and never having it serviced if you aren’t fasting regularly.

The evidence is clear and overwhelming.

Also, fasting can start as 1 day, then 2, then 3. Once you cross 3 it gets easier, you feel better, are clearer thinking, and will likely feel like you will never eat again and save time and money - I have to remind myself we do need to eat at some point.

All inflation and arthritis gone entirely after my first 7 day water fast.

3x more likely to complete one if you do it with a partner, and I’m happy to gift 100% free access to a program my fiance and I created called CouplesFast.com and to send you a free pdf of our forthcoming book on the same topic.

I believe US conservatives have done this since 1980s. I'm not sure it was deliberate at first: there's feedback. Loudly invoking "liberal bias" in 1975 most certainly got the press to reevaluate and attempt to mitigate any bias they might have shown. That was a reward for conservatives, which probably motivated more accusations of liberal bias, another round of press accomodations. It reinforced itself.

I love the idea of a TV designed to look like a picture frame - I might even mod mine, to have it blend better into the room.

But as for actually using it as a picture frame - no way. I think it's the reflection of modern rent culture where landlord put these things in along with generic Ikea furniture, allowing tenants to 'customize' their living spaces without being allowed to drive in a single nail.

In my experience, local reporting has stagnated so badly that they now survive by kissing up to whoever is in power. The majority of pieces are puff pieces commissioned by the subject or friend of the subject, be it a school superintendent or local town council or what have you.

And yes, the bias is heavily to the left. I am very centrist in my views so a left or right leaning bias would be upsetting.

We live across the river from Bucks County PA in NJ, Bucks County journalism and the NJ equivalent are just shills.

Saying that Musk should stop his bot from generating underage waifus is fine and agreeable, but construing that with actual CSAM is plainly manipulative. Of course, the British media has long been known for ""nonce"" hysteria, probably because they know the government and royales are degenerate criminals but don't have the spine to go against the local establishment for it, so instead they redirect that energy in bizarre directions.

Not related to your comment exactly but I feel like I need to get this out in this thread somewhere:

As someone who defended FCPX and used it professionally for years even when it was at its most hated (2011 or so), it’s been woefully supported the last few years and no one should be on it anymore. Resolve Studio outclasses it top to bottom for the same one-time cost and runs great on both MacOS and Windows. Linux it’s bumpy unfortunately but it does technically run lol

My journey with stoicism has been useful and powerful at every phase, but for future and fellow walkers of this path I leave advice:

You you a mindful stoic or a dissociated one?

I'd argue dissociation, at least in the short term, is a critical part of the process. To not let the gut reactions carry you away. You do often need to realize, those reactions are still often happening. You body does it's own thing and you need to be mindful when it does that. Fear, shock, anxiety, elation, they all happen even if you keep a clear conscious mind. The in the situation, the work is in correcting for the biases they give.

In the medium term, if you aren't going back and holding the emotions you set aside, you are doing it wrong. Stoicism sells as "magical no emotion land" but you are flesh and flesh has emotions. Both reasonable and unreasonable. You job is to manage and integrate them effectively.

Stoicism is a good toolkit for managing and analyzing emotions, but if you don't add going back and feeling those emotions to the tools, you are just a timebomb running an emotional debt and dissociating from it. I've done that, and watched others do the same. Odds are this message won't actually change things if you are there right now, but maybe it will nudge you in the right direction.

Relatively sane just says how bad it is elsewhere, as in we probably wouldn't descend into civil war.

As a fellow Scot, I watched the commentary unfold while I lived in Canada and to me the what would you call it, blatant, slant on things meant the vote would go a particular way. I think it all boiled down to the uncertainty of negotiations with Westminster. Pensioners were scared about their pensions disappearing and whatnot.

All the same, it's true that Scotland runs a deficit much the same as the rest of the UK does, relying on London generated revenue.

That seems to me a stark reality of independence, which some voters were willing to pay. Point being anyway, online algos are readily manipulating opinions and spreading false information.

I have looked at lots of testing platforms and they don't do much. This is my first iteration of a tool that runs in the browser and uses DuckDB WASM to analyze multiple JUnit files. I have been testing with files from kubernetes and it seems to work fine with ~160k rows.

Ideally, I'd want this to point to a link in the query params from where it could fetch the latest JUnit files and show a dashboard. I'd then want to put it up in my office. Should be fun.

I would love to hear feedback and thoughts!

It's pretty clever that they keep the "pay one time" option still alive while announcing the availability of subscription, so anyone who says "Boo, not you too Apple" can easily be shut down with "You still have the option to buy it!" instead of leaving those critics without answers. Of course, they'll eventually remove the option to buy the software by paying once, I think everyone can see the writing on the wall, but still clever of them to choose to do it later for PR purposes. 1-0 to Apple :)

Someone on this thread is able to speak to the argument that has been made about beef being specifically the worst animal meat to eat due to its ability to raise inflammation in the system. I had one of the top level specialists on the planet saying that people with high cholesterol should only eat beef once a year due to its ability to raise inflammation in the circulatory system.

Wouldn't beef tallow be along the same line? It's seems contradictory that beef tallow is the next greatest thing yet also ramping up inflammation internally. I can't square the circle here (I haven't done a deep dive though).

As much as RMS meant for the world, he’s also a pretty petty person. He’s about freedom but mostly about user freedom, not creators freedom. I also went through such a phase but using words like “evil” is just too black and white. I don’t think he is a nice person to be around.l, judging from some podcasts and videos.

It is not clear that limiting Grok limits information access to millions of people, so I think your premise is flawed.

There are plenty of other resources that could serve the same people that Grok serves. Further, the fact that we aren't having discussions about ChatGPT or Claude as CSAM generators also suggests that Grok could be limited in ways that it isn't being limited currently.

> what ergonomic form factors are we missing?

Only the Kensington Orbit is a different form factor. Every single one of the remaining examples follow the mouse form factor, which forces the user to move a hand away from the keyboard to operate a device to the side. Some of your example products even double as a mouse. What exactly don't you understand?

This is true, but the beauty of UDP is that it's basically just a raw socket with a tiny 8 byte header slapped on top, with 2 bytes for source port, 2 bytes for destination port, 2 bytes for length, and 2 bytes for a checksum.

You could slap a UDP header on top of the TCP header and get the benefits of TCP with the hole-punching capabilities of UDP, provided you implemented some kind of keep-alive functionality and an out-of-band way of telling the "server" to establish an outbound connection with the "client". Or use QUIC, assuming it fits the use case.

> Anecdote is not data.

This is a situation where the data may not be capturing the reality, though.

An increasingly common tactic for decreasing crime statistics is to reduce reporting of crimes. The more difficult you make it to report a crime, the better the crime numbers look.

In one city I’m familiar with, it became so well known that reporting small crimes was a futile endeavor that people just gave up. It was common knowledge that you don’t bother calling the police unless it was a major crime. Not surprisingly, the crime statistics started to look better.

Talk of referendum's being "non-binding" is a red herring and a distraction.

The Scottish independence referendum was also non-binding, because that is how things work in the UK.

.. Of course there was a complication in the Scottish case as the Edinburgh Agreement (2012) was necessary to hold it, and the UK government was politically bound to honour the result - but that's the same as the UK brexit vote. All parties were politically bound to honour the result, but not legally bound.

The US is rounding up and murdering people like cattle. And also managing dissent with bot farms and deliberate suppression of bad think on social media and also normalising a president who is not just senile, but likely also a psychopath, and very possibly - and this is, sadly, not exaggeration, given recent revelations - not just a sexual predator, but a serial killer.

Compared to Rest of World, the UK is barely making a dent on the Authoritarian Leaderboard.

Which is not to say things are great, because they really aren't, and the deals with Palantir are especially suspect.

But so far at least, the death toll is still pretty low.

Overflow UI is a React Flow component library designed for creating interactive node-based editors, flow editors, content maps, and navigation diagrams. It helps teams quickly build intuitive, visual interfaces without starting from scratch.

The library includes 40+ components and patterns supporting nodes, edges, layouts, navigation flows, and rich customization options. New capabilities are added continuously.

If you work on tools that involve diagrams or visual editors, Overflow may be useful as a structured component library that reduces the need to assemble these pieces manually. We’d love to hear your feedback, ideas for improvement, and any issues you encounter.

> A vigilant C programmer who manually validates everything and use available tools at its disposal is less risky than a complacent Rust programmer who blindly trust the language

I agree with this. But for a component whose job is to parse data and produce pixels, the security worries I have are memory ones. It's not implementing a permissions model or anything where design and logic are really important. The security holes an image codec would introduce are the sort where it a buffer overun gave an execution primitive (etc.).
Show HN: OneView – Autopilot for Marketing Data
by lunarrocket | 2026-01-13 14:37:39+00:00
Hey HN, I'm Andrea from OneView.

Hot take: Google Tag Manager is a technical debt sinkhole, disguised as a no-code tool.

Ever got that email from marketing? "Hey, can you check why our conversions are broken?" A "quick fix" becoming a 10 story points rabbit hole: debug GTM, explain why duct-taping is bad, patch it, repeat in 2 weeks.

Anything that can be customized has to be maintained... and eventually becomes debt.

My philosophy:
1. Marketing should not be an engineer's concern
2. Engineers have better stuff to do than babysitting marketing tools

Over the last year I built a somewhat opinionated platform for the no-man's-land between engineering and marketing (with an unhealthy obsession over data quality).

The tradeoff is intentional: less customizability, less stuff that can break, less to maintain.

Once it's running, there's nothing to optimize. No rules to create. No mappings to manage. No pipelines to debug. Just auth and go.

What it does:
* OneView piggybacks on GA4 protocol, so implementation is super easy
* Built-in retries and self-healing integrations - with 7 days buffer for when APIs go down
* Automatic deduplication - same event, multiple platforms, counted once
* Conversion APIs and consent management - handled automatically

Looking for high-volume teams or weird edge cases. I think this covers >80% of use cases—I've processed millions of events over the last 10 months during alpha—but would love to find the ones that break my assumptions.

Even hotter take: how many of you -know- marketing's losing data but gave up fighting for a fix?

Best 200-300 EUR I spent some years ago, and still receives free updates, Blackmagic Design is a really nice company. And, not only does Resolve run great on macOS and Windows, they have Linux native builds that run even better than it does with the same hardware using Windows, which is REALLY nice.

I'd add overwhelmingly increasing stupidity by enforced safety, preventing people from learning from their (small) mistakes, leading to big ones. Just recently I was talking to a friend about how everything agile is being exterminated in favor of safety, e.g. police chasing two lonely cars slowly drifting on a frozen public mountain road during the night with no other cars/people in sight due to "endangering public". How else should people learn how to handle critical situations than being exposed to them in a low-risk controlled manner?

I can’t help but think that the rise in stoicisms popularity among manosphere types because it lets them repackage a lot of more undesirable masculine traits under a legitimate label— You’re not allowed to feel things. Emotions make you weak. Just suck it up and power through. Bottle it up.

Whether those traits a “real stoicism” or not doesn’t matter, because that’s the way it gets spread through TikTok length discourse

The problem with local journalism is simple: the product is produces is not worth what it costs to produce it.

This has _always_ been true, but for generations classified ad revenue neatly subsidized it. Once the internet came along and blew up that revenue stream, the industry was in trouble.

I'm just not sure there's a good solution to this. Everyone will go on the internet and talk about how valuable people sitting in city council meetings is, but not enough people want to pay the monthly bill to enable that.

> everyone trying to fix the medical establishment is immediately called an anti vaxxer, science denier, etc.

That's because the thought leaders who are fed up with the medical establishment are gaining traction by spreading anti-vax and science denial ideas and not calling out specific medical establishment (other than "big pharma is a boogie man!"). So, it's hard to take their position seriously (even though, I too and anti medical establishment)

Prime directives don't have to be given in a prompt in plain English. That's just the by far easiest and cheapest method. You can also do a stage of reinforcement learning where you give rewards for following the directive, punish for violating it, and update weights accordingly.

The issue is that after you spend lots of effort and money training your model not to tell anyone how to make meth, not even if telling the user would safe their grandmother, some user will ask your bot something completely harmless like completing a poem (that just so happens to be about meth production)

Just to be pedantic: The median construction time is 7 years. With very slow planning, it is a decade, not decades. It can be done faster though.

Our power consumption won't be going down, and it generally wouldn't be the AI company itself running the project but the electricity companies that earn money supplying power that see dollar signs in all that extra electricity consumption.

Even if the AI companies all die, our global electricity consumption will keep going up margins will be better than the retired plants, so it's a good investment regardless.

> All audio signal is _perfectly_ represented in a digital form

What? No. All bandwidth limited signal is. Which means periodic. Causal signals like audio can be approximated, with tradeoffs. Such as pre-ringing (look at sinc(x), used to reconstruct sampled signal — how much energy is in the limb preceding the x=0.)

Is the approximation achieved by filtering the 44.1kHz DAC good enough? Yes, yes it is. But the math is way more involved (i.e. beyond me) than simply "Niquist".

This popular myth that limited frequencies we can hear and limited frequencies in Fourier transform sense is the same thing is quite irritating.

Controversial opinion - old pre-internet protests were mostly authentic and pursuing something good (whatever that meant in every case).

Today - they are mostly designed, sponsored and organized and about hating/suppressing the enemy side, virtue signaling, not achieving good and genuine self expression.

And those rare that are authentic (like current Iran revolution) are carefully and deliberately muted.

Such intentions can’t produce any great art for obvious reasons.

I remember Kentucky Fried Chicken tasting really really good as a kid. Their fries, too. We used to go bananas when my parents would bring home a bucket.

Then something changed in the 90s. I've been told it was a switch from frying in beef tallow to using vegetable oil.

It's just disgusting now.

Well, ICE just executed a woman in broad daylight with multiple cameras filming, and a day later you got Kristi Noem standing on a podium with a slogan referencing to an OG Nazi massacre [1][2] and half the US government gaslighting the country, spreading outright lies [3] without consequences so far.

When they can get away with this level of lies, they can get away with anything. Trump's infamous "I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters" quote [4] wasn't a joke - it was a clear prediction of what he intended to enable eventually.

I think the experts and the media are to blame.

The public are presented with things that are weakly evidenced as scientifically proven. After all, the one study that says something is good or bad for you was published in a peer-reviewed journal and the university PR people blogged about it and the newspapers reported it uncritically.

A lot of experts are very bad at differing between different levels of evidence and probability: "my personal (if expert) opinion", "a consensus in the field" and "backed by reasonable evidence" and "proven" are very different but all often get presented the same way.

I 100% agree and I wanted to write something like this but In the end I chose not to, to point out all the other issues first

The reality of the situation is that in many places like Reddit or even twitter which are radicalized, firstly they become echo chambers and secondly, instead of being radical for bringing change for all people (Think focus on open source but I think its not a radical idea but still) but what ends up happening in those places is that they literally treat each other as another species and the rift grows even further and secondly that they also mostly don't have ideas but rather ideologies to implement.

In this sense, Hackernews is far more effectively radical atleast in my opinion. I must admit that I am a little surprised about the comment of HN being radical because usually, its mostly knowledge based and sure there are some political comments but nobody's forcing somebody to acknowledge those

So in essense, a lot of people are being radicalized, either some just dont know how to approach things or they try to focus absolutely on the us vs them dynamic where the major systemic issues are just not focused on (inequality,poverty etc.)

The world is radicalizing also because its leaders are usually radicalizing it too.

I must admit that the world feels like on the brink of war and no this time its not hyperbole. There are systemic issues in world and instead of addressing them, we are trying to force the focus outside these by all the recent political issues happening and I am not even sure if somethings can be done or the domino has fallen already and I am sure I must not be alone in this when we see massive wars erupt all around the world.

I think it's helpful not to identify with your emotions. You may experience emotions, but you are not your emotions. That's the difference between saying "I'm angry" and "I feel anger arising within me."
