Never heard of this. I've googled a bit around, and I think I'll try this in the future.

> I'm not sure what to make of the fermentation time here. Meads are usually fermented longer, older recipes tend to have very short fermentation times. Especially older, low gravity recipes.

The caramelization process does slow the process down a good bit. I've made a few bochets, and I notice they go slower than other meads.

I've heard of people having issues using Ale yeasts with meads. The temperature of the house could have an impact. The lack of available nutrients (raisins a hotly debated topic in the mead community).

I would expect the Kveik yeast, the Lalvin D47, and maybe the "yeast party" to be faster than the S-04 and Saison yeast.

"How I found & fixed the root problem behind my depression and anxiety after 20+ years" by Kaj Sotala.

It describes the concept of 'self-concept' and a, I guess, pseudo-treatment for addressing deep-set neurosis/anxiety caused by having one that is a little malformed. This post led (in a sort of roundabout way, hitting at a good time in my life and while I was already thinking in the direction of fixing this problem) to a sort of self-therapy where I snapped out of an unhealthy mental state I had been in for something like a decade. Probably good therapy could have had the same effect but I've always had trouble with that, and the ideas here led to a non-unsuccessful self-therapy. My issue was not at all related to the one he describes in the post, but the approach seemed to work anyway.

Wasn't the whole idea behind OpenAI that it would actually be "open"? Or is the name of the organization now entirely a misnomer?

Not only are they not releasing Codex (and GPT-3), but in order to get access to the API you have to apply for access and be judged against a proprietary set of criteria that are entirely opaque.

Furthermore, I imagine that if you do any innovative work building on top of Codex (or GPT-3) they would control that work product, they would be able to cut you off from accessing your work product at any time if it suits them, and they would be able to build off of your work themselves, co-opting any unique value that you may create.

Why the hell should anyone building an AI business even want to work with them? Sure, it might accelerate your effort right at the beginning, but if you are unable to reproduce your results outside of their platform, you will always be beholden to them.

In a few years will we be reading stories about unfortunate entrepreneurs who had built their businesses on top of OpenAI only to have the rug pulled out from under them, like Amazon sellers whose product was cloned by Amazon Basics, or Twitter clients cut off from the API, or iOS apps made redundant by their core functionality being copied by Apple, or search-driven businesses circumvented by the information cards that Google displays directly in the search results...? Etc, etc.

Am I missing something here?
Ah yes, the Herbert Hoover approach.
Obviously people can enter or leave the planet as long as they're willing to take a risk of dying equal to [space covered by 100s random orbits] / [total surface of planet], which is nonzero but small. If you're launching straight up, thousands of such asteroids would leave you with 99% chance of success - the trouble is that with modern standards we generally don't consider 99% good enough - e.g. for space shuttle, 2 out of 135 crashed, getting almost 99%, and that's considered not ok; but if you really need to (as opposed to launches just for PR and science) then you can definitely get out of planet 90%+ of the time.
Who is the audience for these threads?

The only time in my life i've taken substantial quantities of notes was when i was a student. When i've had a job, the learning i do isn't the kind where i'm making copious notes.

Are there a lot of students on HN? Are there a lot of people doing out-of-hours study? Do people make lots of notes at work? Is this productivity LARP?
I have been kind of doing this all along, little that I knew it has a name.

Following this thread.
When I was in my early 20s, someone gave me this exact advice. I didn't have much money and they said that real estate was too expensive and I should just invest/rent. Fast forward to today, I paid 8x more for my small sad house than I would have then and my investments on my small amount of money didn't make up the difference.

The market is so screwed up that even a crash that halved the price would still be 4 times price back then.

Many people in rural areas use composting toilets. It's a popular trend with those into self sustaining homesteads. The poop is generally going to be handled by a family member and mixed in with compost. After the bacteria in the compost breaks it down, it is then mixed in with other fertilizer and earth and used in greenhouses. The products grown in the greenhouse may be shared with neighbors or sold locally. Just adding for completely sake.

Yes. But there's something bigger going on.

So some asshole walks into the middle of the court room and butchers a chicken. Then he pulls out the liver and tears the thing apart. Finally, he confidently asserts that the defendant is guilty. He uses all sorts of science words like 'sodium gradients' and 'iron content'.

Meanwhile, we're all professional haruspices over here and we're all like, no. The best we've been able to do is get chicken livers to correctly identify the number '4' and to generate cat photos.

The courts and police (all over the world and deep into history as far as I can tell) have a habit of grabbing pseudo science or even straight up mysticism and using it to assign guilt.

So here we are watching the part of compsci that's currently going through its alchemy stage and people are using it for legal decisions. Yeah, technically people are incarcerating people. However, we should at the very least be telling people, "Hey, have you seen that one James Mickens video where he talks about how machine learning should definitely be kept off the internet of hate (aka the internet) AND definitely not used for important decisions. It's both entertaining and educational."
Then what's the solution? Seems like the government is the only entity that can intervene if market forces are counter to supply chain resilience. This is partially the justification for agricultural subsidies in the US, so clearly there is precedent.

My guess it that it is like a refinery, building the factory takes too long with a large capital outlay. For instance, it may take a year or two to build and cost (let's guess) $500M. Now in that time, let's say all the existing players ramp back up (or expand!!) and there is no shortage. You now are producing chips that are cheaper elsewhere and it is hard to recoup your investment. Also, you may be limited on where you can find people with expertise in this area.
Also composting toilets.
The point of my post was to give the OP some pragmatic advice, on the bigger-deal lever he has in his life. Obviously there's a marginal drop-off of who can afford X if X goes up even a little.
My 1965 Volvo Amazon did 300 k miles before I scrapped it, in 1984, in favour of a 1976 Volvo 245. I only scrapped it because it wasn't worth anything, it was in perfect working order. The floor of 245 finally succumbed to Norwegian road salt in 1996 after 250 k miles but was otherwise in perfect order.

I don't remember how far my 1965 Austin Mini van had done by the time I scrapped it in 1978 but I'm quite sure it was much more than 50 k miles.

I'll add a bit of a pedantic point: the dollar hasn't really lost any value _against other currencies_ (DXY) over the past year. In fact, it is a little higher.

It has lost value against lots of commodities and "real" goods.
> C++ integers are more like Z/nZ

This is an widely-held misconception, but C++ signed integers are _nothing_ like Z/nZ. Unsigned integers are (except for division), and machine arithmetic often is, but in the C++ abstract machine, signed overflow is undefined behavior.

Ripple Lawsuit: Suspected Conflict of Interest Between SEC and XRP
It should go without saying that there are nuances in implementation. What I'm describing here is a fundamental tradeoff of JIT systems. If you get the wrong thing delivered it throws a bigger wrench into things because you don't have the buffer. Can you make this rare enough that the amortized cost is low enough to make JIT overall cheaper? Of course, that's why everyone does JIT.
This is my personal opinion of course but LinkedIn became Facebook a couple years ago and that's the reason I don't go there anymore.

I want to "read all available updates" at my convenience, not get alerts reminding me to update my server.

Maybe I need to write some sort of plugin to DUIN that appends to a text file or web page or SQLite db... Hm.
I don't see this raised anywhere -- but what's so bad about producing fewer cars (the poor neglected shareholders and exec bonuses aside)?

It's almost as if we would need to lean into this, reducing growth and producing fewer cars would be in line with efforts to mitigate the drivers of climate change.

What if car manufacturers pivoted their KPIs and focused on making long-lasting, serviceable vehicles? Toyota is already the worldwide leader in these, as evidenced anywhere that's not smoothly paved suburbia-land.

voters have complained about stuff being made in China for years and if it was framed from a nation security perspective you'd get wide bipartisan support. The current chip subsidy program literally just got wide bipartisan support, it's extremely popular
The same factors would seem to apply to EVs (except perhaps poor maintenance, but I am not knowledgeable enough about EVs to be sure), so for the purposes of comparison, I figured apples to apples would be comparing expected lifetimes of both assuming they are not abused or neglected.
I had a 286 12MHz and then upgraded to a 386sx 40Mhz (both manufactured by AMD, btw).

It was a HUGE upgrade.

First, 12Mhz to 40Mhz was an amazing upgrade, but that was definitely not the reason why I upgraded.

The real reason was *compatibilityé.

The 286 was compatible with close to nothing by the early 90's.
Doom? Sure, runs slow on the 386sx, but on the 286? Does not run at all.
And the same goes for all games and programs using one of:
1) 32 bit DOS extenders
2) EMS
3) any amount of XMS more than my 286 could handle
4) >600KB conventional memory, because there's only that much HIMEM.SYS can do
5) Windows 3.0 in 386-enhanced mode

When my first kid was younger, I had written off Roblox as the worst predatory company on the planet (until Fortnite came along). I still think they're awful as a company, but my younger kid now also loves to play it, and his big brother taught him to ignore anything asking him for Robux, so I don't have to go through the endless fights over getting a digital hat for $20 USD, and I actually enjoy playing it with them.

Why Not to Use Your Local Host: An Intro into ISP Blacklisting
Show HN: Cure most of your suffering, in 1 minute per day for 5 days
Prerequisite: if it's not pleasurable in your head right now, there is 3 possible reasons: your ego, the fear of death or both.

Let's examine some examples you'll find all over the internet.

Maybe you are physically sick. You can still be happy right? We all have experienced that before, being happy and sick at the same time.

Maybe you've killed someone years ago and you're still suffering about it. You are suffering from your ego. You are suffering from the look of others (including yourself).

Maybe you've lost someone and you're still suffering about it. You are suffering from the fear of death. And your ego. You want to control your environment and you don't feel whole. You dont have gratitude.

That prerequisite is well known and documented all over the internet and in books. The problem is: the proposed cures dont work. For some reasons we might understand later in the discussion, meditation for example will get you nowhere (or not very far). But the following might.

---------------------------

Ask yourself the following question once per day for 5 days: is it pleasurable in my head right now?

There is quite some subtleties at play here. Since this is HN, I'll be happy to discuss them with you even though it's better you experience them yourself.

Now Then by Adam Curtis for really reinforcing my suspicion that algorithms that feed me more of what I like prevent me from ever experiencing things I havent before. Tasting new flavors means ordering what I am least, not most, familiar with.

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin...

And although I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup by Scott Alexander gets very lost and fails imho to come to a useful conclusion, I do muse both on its modern forgiveness-v-tolerance definition schism and more generally from the dark matter parts that an almost Time Machine Eloi/Morlock divide has happened to language, where everyone in America THINKS they are speaking the same language. But really, there are red and blue Englishes that are prominent, using the same words but that mean very different things. EG: Blue defines racism as something that cant happen to a majority. Red doesnt. They dont really acknowledge that the other is using the word to describe something different, they just call each other the word used from their own understanding, and then call the other side stupid. Through whistles, code switching, and signaling, phrases are now so detached from their meaning, that not speaking the language is almost assuredly an inability to interact with parts of the tribe, in any capacity more than the most superficial. In groups can have conversations where it sounds like they are saying one thing, but under the surface is a completely different conversation. Just imagine what the phrase "covid isnt real" (or "black lives matter [too/more]") means to you. If you read it ultra literally, you probably arent quite understanding what the speaker means.
This wait but why article was pretty eye opening to me. My main take away was that life is made up of mostly average days. You have to learn to enjoy, or at least not be miserable, on any given average Tuesday night.

Current VR tech will never cut it for productivity use. They are simply too bulky and low res/low FOV to be useful. It won't be until we have it perfected in the form factor of a pair of glasses that VR goes mainstream.
I love the throw away, first draft, not edited, conversational nature of HN. I love hearing and engaging with people from different places and backgrounds on here, but I guess this place is more like a message board/chat room than what the author is describing

"It works" is not the same thing as "it's useful."
In theory you could wire up an old pentium or 386 and program it to do the same thing some of these chips do but you have the same problem there. No on has a 5M supply of 386s just sitting around in good condition.

Well, the image moves when you try to trace it, because your eyes are jumping around. Then, when you've got a wrong line, your brain tries to fit the imagined image to the wrong line by skewing it, which it does in several different ways once you've got enough wrong lines, so the wrong lines multiply.

A skilled artist can work around this, by drawing the right lines (and erasing / ignoring the wrong lines).

Rakuten is basically a scam on merchants right?

By that I means they use affiliate links to make money.

But most of their referred traffic comes from people checking out and saying "I use rakuten to get a discount at the places I already shop".

The stores then don't know how much business rakuten is really bringing them, so are scared to stop it.

Consumers keep checking rakuten to see if they get discounts on things they want, because why not?

Is this a good summary? Anyone have a more favorable impression of their work (from the store perspective)?
Still, there is more to it. Don't wait to retire to do what makes you happy.
Chips also go out of production suddenly (with only a couple years warning - which isn't anywhere near enough time to replace them all). thus any major manufacture has stockpiles of chips that are no longer in production that need to last until production of the widget switches to new chips and have enough left over as spare parts for existing widgets.
