There’s one sugar the FDA has allowed to stay off the total sugars list

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-brief/fda-brief-fda-allo...
I recently endured a Kafka-esque nightmare with my bank. I had this personal VISA card for several years but I rarely used it because I also have a Mastercard that I prefer. Anyway, two years ago when I started my current venture I opened a business bank account with my preferred bank for business banking (same bank I had the personal VISA through), so I applied for a business VISA. At the same time, I told them I wanted to cancel my personal VISA, because I don't need three credit cards. No problem, did the paperwork and left the card at the bank.

A couple of weeks ago, I received this stern letter informing me that I'm "not acting in accordance with my cardholder agreement / unpaid bills / unfulfilled obligations / we've cancelled your account / etc." It lists a card number I don't recognize. I call them right away.

Turns out it was the personal VISA I cancelled two years ago. Around six months ago, a transaction went through on the account. Then I didn't pay off the transaction. Of course I didn't: I received no notice, no mail, no phone call, nothing. Why would I, for a card that at that point had been cancelled for 1.5 years? So after months of "defaulting" they freaked out, "cancelled" the card, put a black mark on my credit rating, and sent me that letter.

Meanwhile I have been doing business with the bank, and with my business VISA (same exact companies!) the whole time.

Trying to rectify this issue was a bureaucratic nightmare, where I got shuttled from my bank branch over to VISA and back again. It featured enjoyable conversations that started with things like, "for identity verification purposes, please give me the three digits on the back of your card" (hadn't had it in two years!) and ended with "I'm afraid we can't verify your identity".

What was especially frustrating was I managed to find the paperwork for the card cancellation. I have a signed and dated document that says right on it, "Card destroyed in branch".

After seven or eight interactions with VISA and my bank, I finally managed to get them to resolve the issue. But this all could have been avoided had they simply called me or mailed me a letter. Instead, they claimed that they'd sent statements to the "online portal" which, of course, I did not have access to, since I'd closed the account!
That's only because you're used to it and have additional context already. The day starts at 12 and goes to 1 an hour later, so notion of "same day" is absolutely ambiguous.
Me thinks you just haven't looked at more parts. FORMAT, in particular, is just as dense.

Other than just removal of ads, the vanced app enhanced the usability - like being able to hide the shorts, being able to set the default video resolution and default speed.

I'm not pro-voucher but I think it's a bit unfair to compare case based public funding to flat value voucher funding and declare all voucher funding is a racket based on that comparison. There is no reason vouchers couldn't also have value based on how much the student costs, in fact some voucher systems work exactly this way.

All that is to say: this is an example of why _flat rate_ vouchers don't make sense.

> a state-operated private service

If they implement a public service, freemarketers not unlike yourself will accuse them of unfair competition and spend their lives sabotaging them, like Murdoch does with the BBC in the UK.

The reality is that your position is effectively that nothing should change, and everything in this space is as good as it can be. The public at large clearly disagrees, and this is a step in the direction of addressing some problems that are extremely hard to deny.

Besides, nationalisation would be nothing new. There are laws in your country, whichever it may be, for the state to confiscate your land for the public interest. That's not trespassing, that's the power of the collective trumping other rights. This is not it anyway - this is mandating standards, like the size of your electrical plugs.

> Defining monopolies by "has bad customer service" is certainly a unique and interesting take.

That's the dumbest possible interpretation of what I said.

Not all monopolies have bad CR: see Amazon.

But every single company I've had bad CR experiences with with, I would venture many people would agree, is a monopoly. Google, Utilities, Cell phones, Internet, etc.

Any upstart company typically HAS to have good CR because keeping customers is valuable to them.

Now this is anecdotal, and I'm not going to provide papers or scientific studies because I don't care enough about this conversation to do that, but where there's smoke there's fire, and I've seen this pattern repeated over and over in the past decade or so, and some one who cares more than me should look further into this.

tbh, it actually seems less likely with him. Maybe he's just a great actor, but he comes off more as a guy that doesn't deeply research things before he shows up so it is still all exciting and educational to him. And when he does ask questions they seem to easily be categorized as "for the viewers benefit" and "destin didn't know either"
SMS stopped to be status quo here (central Europe) because it still costs money to send each single text. It made sense when no other mobile communication option was available (early 2000s) but not anymore. WhatsApp or any other messaging platform is strictly better as long as your phone is connected to the internet.

Fair about anonymity, and fair about his talent. But I can't forgive him for what he did to the Rockaways, as much as I can't forgive whoever designed the Inner Loop highway in Rochester. The fact that I know one's name and not the other doesn't change my dislike of what they did.

It is a RockPro64. The stock image offered by Pine is borderline useless barebones without the store. Some complicated process involving connecting an usb-c cable and running ADB from Android SDK is necessary.

I also tried some Android distribution called Slash TV which seems to be kinda complete but the videos keep defaulting to 480p even after I set my preferences to high quality. It seems Slash TV is a one man's project and it hasn't received an upgrade in a while.

I was surprised how much of a nice product Librelec is but all the YT apps for Kodi (Youtube, Tubed) are in this broken state due to some API changes.

> I always fell a way back to a more text focused web should also have even more a focus on hypertext than the original web did.

This is something that struck me with Gemini.

What happens is that since there are no inline links, you are basically penalized for adding links because you have to disrupt your prose with a stack of links, each on their own line, before resuming your content.

It focused so much on the text-only part of the early web that it forgot about the part where people linked to each other heavily. It's like it imagines the ideal web as just a bunch of online books rather than interconnected documents.
Oh my god that is brilliant.
We better hurry and get rid of the fire department, schools, the military, postal service, etc and replace them with private for-profit companies.
This and many variants of the idea has been explored in games a lot - in particular in point and click adventures and isometric (or at least top-down view) RPGs. Probably also in strategy games and anything else that has both a cursor and context-specific actions.
when the right speaks on this, they use their own jargon, but just pretend it isn't jargon.

one of the things the left is good at is being willing to admit to ideology. it is okay to have reasons, intentions, and motivations. pretending one does not, pretending ideological choices are innate and universal, and pretending one can avoid specificity when speaking are failures.
IMO, based on their current business models, big US tech companies would be better off financially by pulling out of the EU entirely than by allowing interoperability via public APIs.

They will lose most of their users to small platforms if they provide too much interoperability - Not just in the EU but all over the world. Their monopoly over the bulk of the world's user accounts is their only real competitive advantage.

That said, in terms of social good, open APIs would be great.

Scammers printing scam letters can just as easily print fake postmarks.

> When you have to pay the postage and printing costs, it is far less attractive to throw out 10.000 scam mailings, because the ROI is quite likely negative

Try to do think about the math here. What kind of scam mail are you sending to reach such bad ROI? Let’s imagine these are fake utility bills for around 50 euros and total cost to the scammer is 1 euro per letter. Your success rate would have to be incredibly bad for the ROI to be negative.

Now, target tenants of rental properties instead and tell them they need to pay their rent to a new account. Profits go up 10-100x, costs stay the same.
Jetbrains really should just update the JDK they use.

With a slightly larger max memory setting than default and using at least G1 garbage collector (ZGC for even better results) they would get a buttery smooth editor, but it is configured quite badly by default.

Ask HN: Should expert opinion be a bigger part of the Machine Learning world?
I came across a Twitter thread (linked in comments) which shows some interesting results when trying to recolor historical photos that have been decolored. The recolored photos are a lot drabber than the original (example in comments), and the thread author says that this gives us a skewed view of the past, making us think the past was a lot more boring than it was.

I thought of some related questions that I thought could be good for discussion here:

- Do you think that expert opinion should be consulted in the Machine Learning process more? If so, where? (perhaps omitting Expert Systems)

- Is there too much faith that a result from an ML model is the "right" result? (a phenomenon that maybe isn't specific to ML but a result of human tendencies?)

- Do ML practitioners have a responsibility to clearly communicate to the general public the limitations and degree-of-confidence in these systems?

- Am I reading too much into this, and this colorization model is just a fun model to play with, and the conclusions of the Twitter thread are too speculative or conjectural?

- Is this colorization issue just another form of bias that needs to be ironed out?

- The thread concludes by saying that colorization should be left to experts who can use context to pick accurate colors. I think this is too extreme, and that ML systems can incorporate expertise when training, or after during evaluation. Do you think there are any jobs/problems that ML methods could be applied to but should be left to experts (some considerations might be safety, privacy, ethics, etc.)

I know that ultimately a lot of these questions can simply boil down to statistics and their interpretation, so I'm not sure exactly where discussion could/should/will lead, but I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions!

Wonderful article - I had no idea that Le Corbusier was involved in "modernizing" an Indian city.

But I feel like some maps and aerial views and wider shots would've illustrated some of the higher-level discussions for a Westerner like me.

I kept craving more visuals to correspond to what the author was talking about. Often the phots they did provide contrasted quite strongly with the descriptions - like when discussing the upper-class Sector 23 and the more cosmopolitan Sector 17 (these names are almost cartoonishly dystopian) the photos seem to be almost reversed, since the Sector 23 photo looks much more run-down contrasted against the open and polished plaza shown of Sector 17.

So? Wikipedia only lists 25 by Leonardo.

> "it's surprising you seem to deny it."

I'm not denying that people never treat other people as inferior because they don't speak English. I'm saying the reason people treat hamsters as inferior isn't "because hamsters don't speak English", and that saying that is as uninterestingly dismissive as saying "it's because hamsters don't wear makeup".

> "Using that as an argument to summarily dismiss animal intelligence is a strawman at best, as is your other points"

No it isn't. If cows have no reason to think thoughts to survive, do not compete with tricksy, planning, vicious cow-enemies on evolutionary timescale, display no visible deep thinking behaviour, cannot visibly communicate deep thoughts to other cows, to say "but they must have them because reasons" is not good logic. Me asking "why star a-priori with 'they must have them?'" is not a strawman or a summary dismissal.

> "you could easily find humans which are literally dumb as a rock, does that have any bearing on the intelligence we're capable of as a species?"

Your position is that "Some humans are stupid so cows are smart?" Really? Where's the cow Einstein, the hamster Beethoven, the Kangaroo Gandhi, where's the wolf whose face launched a thousand ships, or the beaver who added hydroelectric lighting to their damn? The intelligence humans are capable of as a species has taken over the world, it's bloody obvious, you can't miss it for looking - tool use, machine building, theorem proving, organising on a large scale, on a timescale which outlasts one lifetime while adapting to changing environments on a scale of hours to months not hundreds of lifetimes.

The presence of dumb humans doesn't undo that. The absence of all that surely does call into question the intelligence bears are capable of as a species.
You make it sound like either/or but Vanced was never just about getting rid of ads.

I pay for YouTube Premium but Vanced was still appealing because it removes other things I don't want, like posts in my home feed, Shorts, YouTube Originals and sponsored segments of videos.

Vanced is about giving the user what the user wants, instead of what YouTube wants the user to want.
No, 12:00:01 AM being a second after noon (i.e. 12:00:01 after the start of the before-noon) is the only one that makes sense. You can't just swap out the reference point and keep counting, that's just as moronic as claiming 1/500 of a dollar is 0.002 cents, because it's in the cents territory. If you want to switch the reference point, you also have to reset the counting to the correct value: 00:00:01 PM = 12:00:01 AM.

I recently had to use the Outlook web client to send an email and the experience was nothing short of horrendous. The autocomplete feature kept eating keypresses unless I typed exactly what it was expecting, or accepted what it wanted me to say, and pressed tab. Of course, I can type faster than it can predict, so I'd be done with a word before the prediction would show up, and the damn thing would eat the space and the first two or three letters of the next work.

Who the hell is working on this stuff?
I tried writing a simple OS decades ago as an EXE you'd run from MSDOS. It would rewrite all the ISR vectors and take over all the memory including the space that was previously used by MSDOS. I was told that because I relied on DOS, whatever I wrote was not an operating system. I politely disagreed.
Disclaimer - used to work at Twitch.

The policy may make Twitch look stupid, but it's for a pretty good reason - people would get banned, and then just play multiplayer (with voice or even video chat) with their friends who were also streaming. This effectively allowed them to continue to stream and interact with their audience despite their 'ban.'

Agreed that people often get banned on purpose as a way of keeping their name in the news.

Use it and love it. I believe that table plus (or similar ones) are nice and cool, but for me, DBeaver is very powerful and useful piece of software. It may not look cool sometimes, but it gets the job done. And it has a lot of connectors. Plus it is free! I can't expect more.
Yes, I was a fan of LOOP too, until I found iterate.

I mean, we are discussing the two things comparatively here, aren't we? So, how is loop better than iterate? Iterate has nearly the same semanitcs as LOOP. It's basically LOOP on s-exprs, with some handy idioms sprinkled in. But often times the match is 1-1. So, how is the absence of sexprs making anything easiers to read or write? It makes it harder for me in both cases.

Can you elaborate on what Germany has done to make its democracy more resilient?

I am also concerned about the state of democracy in the US, but it doesn't strike me as being similar to what happened to Weimar. Rather, I see it as a very long, slow process of combining some basic inequities in the political system with deliberate stoking of grudges among the people those inequities benefit. It took decades to get where we are.

I don't believe anything can be done about it -- it's too late, and those inequities have now hardened into permanent, overwhelming thumbs on the scale. But I'd be curious to know what lessons have been learned elsewhere.
I use multithreading when appropriate, like saving or retrieving data in the background or event management, or processing tasks that can be done more efficiently in parallel, but otherwise I don't usually use it, no. I definitely default to not using it until I'd get an obvious benefit out of it.

The big one of those three when it's just my own projects is retrieving data. I tend not to work on complicated enough projects on my own that would require the other two all that often (and my side projects are usually games with relatively simple graphics).
Hello. I'm the author of this document. It looks like someone posted this to HN without my knowledge after a discussion on IRC yesterday. I was intending to post it myself, but probably not until I had some working software for it - I've been hacking away at a server in my free time but hadn't gotten very far yet. I expect that the process of writing actually functioning software using these ideas will cause the ideas themselves to adapt to the realities of implementing software for them.

All that said, I appreciate the premature feedback. :)
