As someone who depends on oysters to stay functional in this world, I think this is abhorrent, and against all that nature intended.

Are they going to add all the zinc, copper, and manganese that are in oysters? Or the omega 3’s?

You all think there’s no consequences to just shifting the world population to plants instead of meat. Well there is. Especially with seafood. There is a genetic basis for some people to eat more long chain PUFAs.

So how many people are they actually making sicker and pretending like you’re making them healthier by eating this garbage you call food?
I deactivated and deleted Twitter last week and added it to my filter list in ublock. Most of the accounts I was following already have a Mastodon presence, though YMMV depending on your personal interests.
No parens, brackets, etc... Thank you :)
Some microkernel based systems have more monolithic designs where there's one big "most of the os" server that might be derived from a BSD or Linux kernel and the microkernel's role is more like a hypervisor.
On the contrary, the people I've recently seen leave Twitter were all waiting for the network effect to lessen. Switching communication stacks suck, especially if not everyone you want to follow is on your new stack.

I've set up my own BirdsiteLive instance that only my own Mastodon server can access, but it's slowly seeing less and less activity as people switch over to Mastodon or something I can't bridge.

Plenty of people are going to keep Twitter as their cesspool, but it'll be a while before everyone who wants to switch has switched. Musk's behaviour and the following downward trend for Twitter is still recent news, it's only been a few weeks.
Exactly. Also why identifying "misinformation" is a fool's errand, since yesterday's misinformation is today's truth.
What a wonderfully informative and educational comment. Thank you.

Would you also be able to shed some light on what a singularity is? It was not intuitive to me that incompressiblity should lead to a singularity.

The article dances around the term:

> At that point, the Euler equations are said to give rise to a “singularity” — or, more dramatically, to “blow up.”

> Once they hit that singularity, the equations will no longer be able to compute the fluid’s flow.
Why “fundamentally unsuited”? Neural networks have solved tons of problems previously thought to be “too hard” for ML, e.g. playing Go.
Here's a fun one I remember seeing a little video on: the UK power authority has to anticipate commercial breaks in major broadcasts like the World Cup because everyone turning on their electric kettle spikes the grid.
I've never moved more than a few thousand dollars around at a time... but you absolutely could move that much into coinbase and withdraw into a US account. Might have some forms to fill out, might have a small waiting period. Will have to send coinbase your US ID etc. But i would be surprised if you had too many issues.
I don’t think the parent’s tone was good for discussion, but HN is literally all links off to other sites with some meta-discussion, it’s not “centralized”.

Yes -- and it is plainly the highest form of friendship as it is the closest to dissolving the individual into a greater whole.
Yes, just as a concert does.

That's a straw man, there are many things I don't think technology can achieve.

Food scarcity is one of the first, classic things human technology has improved through agriculture, and it's reasonable to think it will do the same thing to the high cost of truffles, and indeed the demand will incentivize people to try and reward those that finally succeed at it. If that's bad, then my question is why should truffles be expensive forever?
AFAIK Apple ignores the dhcp 43, 'ANDROID_METERED' option. Or did they change?

The Subtle Art of Not giving a F
Except almost anything you do can be the beginning of that engine. Joining sports team, hobbyist group for anything will lead you to meet people, through whom you either meet or hear about other events. Strong network effects once you get going but you do need to have time to show up consistently and in a good spot
To be a bit more explicit than badrabbit about why the symmetry isn't there:

The problem a filter like this is meant to solve is: You go on the web reading random stuff, and occasionally you run into something pornographic when that isn't what you're after, and it's unwanted (because you're at work, because you find pornography disturbing, or whatever).

So the problem its inverse would solve would be: You go on the web reading random stuff, and occasionally you run into something non-pornographic, and that spoils your fun. Or maybe: You go on the web looking for pornography, and occasionally you run into something non-pornographic, and that spoils your fun.

So far as I am aware, those are not problems anyone has.

Variations on the theme: You might be looking for some specific variety of pornography and keep finding pages with different kinds. I don't think this sort of tool would help with that; all it can do is filter out unwanted bits of pages you've already found. Or you might be successfully finding pornography but not want to see any other clutter -- e.g., advertisements on your screen distracting you from it. But I'm pretty sure the only people advertising on pornographic websites are highly NSFW themselves, so I wouldn't expect a reverse-NSFW-filter to help with that either; what you want for that is an ad blocker.
Lol. During "high velocity events" at Amazon, we would have a war room with all the engineers and a couple old hands directing responses.

Some of our metrics came in 5 minutes delayed which wasn't a problem for normal days.
These metrics moved slow enough that when you got an alarm, there was still plenty of time to take corrective action.

But for HVEs this was an issue. During black Friday or prime day, sometime some metrics spiked so fast you had no time to respond (usually from people hitting page reload a few minutes before a sale kicked off.)

To get an idea for what was going on, I would go in twitter and search for things like "amazon failure" or "amazon 502."

We often got problem reports via Twitter before they showed up on our dashboards.
There's still plenty of left-wing tech people on Twitter, althought they recently created their Mastodon account. I think they're waiting for the final nail in the coffin (a big outage ?), which may or may not come. And I'm on Twitter to follow them. Outrage is mainly not part of my feed unless those same tech people start ranting on Musk or what have you.
Maybe if we stopped dumping sewage into the oceans we wouldn’t have to worry about these contaminated oysters. So instead of making fake oysters, why not clean up the environment?

The plant based meat replacements won't substitute for a steak, but they can do pretty well treated as done in some Asian cuisines, as a flavoring element rather than by themselves.

Even in something as simple as a burger, they can do very well -- because a fast food burger is often loaded with sauces and other add-ons that you barely notice that there's a patty in there at all. They could substitute chicken or fish and you'd barely notice.

The best thing is to learn cuisines that feature vegetables cooked with strong flavors. Indian, Korean, and Chinese are notable examples. Doing that it's easy to extend that and add protein with either meat in small quantities, or substitutes, or non-meats like tofu or mushrooms. All very delicious, nutritious, and environmentally sound.
If the worst is a public mea culpa and following the agreements you should've done in the first place, that barely seems like a deterrent to infringe the license.

Might as well create a crawler bot on github and slurp up all the GPL/AGPL for your new AI-coding startup, iterate fast, make profit, then pay a pittance in legal fees and a small "We're sorry".
That does not make it easier though... you explained just now, and I understood, but where am I to pull it out of (because it is not intuitive at all) if not documentation? Just like with any other languages... Similarly, they will run into languages where arrays begin with 0. Beginners should be taught how to think about it and such, not shove it under the rug.

Pleroma is easier to set up and demands fewer resources. Looks a lot more like Twitter and has the Mastodon frontend built in, too!

Vectormaker uses the Potrace algorithm to convert images into vector graphics. This algorithm is able to trace the edges of an image and create a corresponding vector path. Vectormaker then colors the vector path based on the colors in the original image.
In what way are these going to be anything like real oysters? They are not real oysters. They will never substitute for real oysters. Do you have any idea of the nutrient value of real oysters? So we satisfy their taste, but deprive them nutritionally?
The popular fake meats like beyond don’t contain soy, they use pea protein in its place I believe
> Thanks to using a common protocol it's possible for users across these platforms to communicate with each other. It's possible to follow content, reshare it, leave comments, etc. So, instead of having a bunch of walled gardens you have an actual ecosystem of different platforms.

I can understand why you believe this, because it's part of the ActivityPub marketing, but it simply isn't true. ActivityPub is extremely loosely defined, and the protocol it builds on, ActivityStreams, places no limitations on the type of data that is transferred.

What this means is that in practice you can only federate with other instances of the same software as your homeserver without degradation. It's very hit or miss. The best cross implementation communication comes between Mastodon and Pleroma, but Mastodon is more popular and implements a number of other protocols in addition to ActivityPub, so to keep up Pleroma actually matches their API, not the protocol.

The other implementations that you mentioned mostly federate among themselves.

Sadly this undoes many of the benefits you've listed. You do very much need a Lemmy server account, a Pixelfed server account, a Mastodon account, etc, if you want everything. And you have to pick a homeserver each time, and it isn't easy.
You should read "Proofs and Refutations by Imre Lakatos" if you haven't already.
Attempting to identify truth is called the scientific method.

In many ways we have done that to ourselves.

Yes, but it was the anointed few in control of Twitter before. Key difference.
The title is indeed a trigger for some people, and I’d encourage those to people to get over the title and just read 25 pages to see if it’s your thing.

> even though some of them seem kind of obvious

It may be obvious to you… but believe it or not, there are people who have never seen these things spelled out in plain language and who never discovered these lessons on their own. Such people are not to be disregarded, we all have different strengths and weaknesses.

I’ve not seen another book that really spells out how to make friends and keep them. Everyone is supposed to learn this in Kindergarten, but many do not.

The book is almost 100 years old. Some of the examples have not aged well unless you can be generous in your understanding of the times in which it was written. The examples are still very useful.
You mean “long-established” not “long-accepted”.
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. And after that, almost anything by Kazuo Ishiguro.

When I read that book, I was an intense student, and I could totally see myself in the main character. Since then, every single one of Ishiguro's books has changed the way I think about things. It's hard to convey what he's trying to say in any other way than by reading his work.
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. Especially the appendices.

It has not aged well - it is a book written by two dudes who were the editors for the Playboy letters column in the swinging sixties, who kept getting piles and piles of far-right-wing-nutjob conspiracy tracts and decided to write a book asking "hey what if all this crazy shit was all true" - but it poked some interesting holes in my reality.
Peak IDE happened in 1998 with Visual Studio 6 for C++, and it had been down hill from there. Everything available today (and since then) is clunky in comparison. I kept using it until 2007 and had to switch because of the need to move to 64-but.

Computers today are about 20 times faster, and have 20 times more memory - and yet, all IDEs are clunky. VS6 on the common hardware of the time was ultra responsive.
I think it speaks to the need for a follow-on equivalent system for high school and college.
I agree with your overall sentiment. I'd never buy or consume foie gras and don't care that it's a "cultural thing".

But your general description of meat production is a bit too simplistic. The main issue with it, for me, is not the very act of taking a life for food. It's about what comes before it. The life the animals have in captivity. There are differences of course, but generally lifestock is held in too little space, too high stocking density, inappropriate bedding, flooring and treatment in case of diseases. It's a matter of cost. One can provide conditions where lifestock is suffering much less, having a good life even, but that means much more cost per pound meat sold. In addition, beginning of life (insemination which can be "natural" or artificial or some kind of in-between rape kind) and end (different ways of taking the life, some gas suffocating the animal causing terrible pain, or bolt-into-brain or) can also provide or prevent different levels of suffering. Again it's a matter of cost.

I personally do eat meat. Not everyday but most days. I do try to ensure that the farmer provided the animals with a good life, as I know most of them personally. Or it's a wild animal, running through the forest until the last moments. Not practical for everybody, and pretty pricey, but avoids the worst.

As you see, suffering is key here. The mere act of taking a life is "natural". (A bolt through the brain is quick and less painful than the long hunt by a pack of wolves or a lion.) It's still a kill, but that's the balance I'm striking personally.

> twitter solve a very practical problem. I like to read stuff from everywhere, from substacks to YouTube channel to regular old mainstream media. But not everything they produce is of interest to me so I need a way to filter and get to read only relevant stuff.

It's dumb you got downvoted for telling a joke, geez
In addition to saving and investing, I would address the "deal with" question by recommending you begin now a life-long habit of tracking your income and expenses along with the balance sheet of your assets and liabilities. Even if it is just a once-per-calendar-quarter update, try to capture your spending in various basic classes (food, transportation, shelter, entertainment, clothing, health care etc). You can also track your ordinary (operating) income separately from your investing income, since the investing income will be much more volatile but also you have many more years to recover from shortfalls.

Your spending may be very simple and limited now, but moving out, getting married, having dependents, becoming a homeowner and so on will vastly complicate it. It's useful and comforting to have some history on file to see if you are going "in the right direction", whatever that is for you.

There are any number of software programs out there, both commercial and free, to help, whether gnucash, Quickbooks, YNAB, or others that have been discussed on HN over time.

Every approach has risks, and the right approach depends on the person. I'd never reccomend self custody for my mother (actually I'd never reccomend crypto for my mother) but if you have the technical skills and are personally responsible self custody might be safer than a cex. It also let's you take advantage of defi, which has a whole other set of risks and benefits.
In Italy (And Southern France and Spain), most likely nuts from Mediterranean stone pines, Pinus Pinea [1]. In French it's called "pin pignon", which means (pine) nuts pine. I don't think these pine trees exist in China, although some areas do have a lot of pine trees. Maybe those Chinese pine nuts are from Pinus koraiensis [2] or Pinus armandii [3] as the nuts look reasonably similar.

Was about to write the exact same thing. Having grown up around multigenerational immigrant families in a working class environment in a Western country that is, the article already sounds foreign to me, and I'm not even that far off the target demographic compared to some other places in the world.

And still now as an adult in my early thirties who moved to Tokyo a few years ago, socially my environment is dominanted by friendships, which is true for many people my age. The article points to friendships being voluntary as one key distinction between say marriage and friends, but statistics will tell everyone that many of those marriages nowadays aren't that permanent.

Article sounds a little bit like it was written by someone who lives in American Beauty still.
I don't know how to respond to your post. I'll try: Money. Skilled people cost money, a lot of money. I disagree with both of these: <<deliberate lack of hiring or an actual labor shortage>> They are making do with the amount of money that is available. It would be wiser to focus on why healthcare is so expensive in the United States compared to other highly advanced countries -- France, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, Japan, etc.

Easy. Stop drinking so much beer and prepare your own food for starters.
IMO we have to examine his actions and not his words, as his words are almost always calculated to achieve a certain goal; his hidden agenda, whether it is self promotion or influencing an outcome.
Go is not solved.

The AI doesn't know the best move. It just knows a good move.
Indeed. I can't help but think a lot of the "plant based" products now are about erecting new toll booths around vegetable products that in a more natural form people could be growing themselves. We should be moving further towards people growing at least some of their own food where possible, not further away from it.

When I first tried the now notorious Greggs Vegan Sausage Roll - which I have to admit are very good - I happened to meet a friend I hadn't seen for a while, and stopped for a chat. His dog was begging for some of the food - and it occurred to me that I had no clue if it was safe for the dog to eat.
During a brief stint at a hospital I coded some logic to check for medication interactions with procedures and anticoagulants. Then the head of the pharmacy department showed me a report showing me the number of times that catheter / anticoagulant interactions had been caught because of my code (apparently this is less intuitive to the system than base medication interactions). Was one of those, oh wow, I'm actually helping people moments.

Almost makes up for when some of my software was used to identify a manufacturing problem with a particular facility producing parts for missiles. Sometimes doing a good job helps people, sometimes it helps to harm them. Realizing the larger impact of your code can hit hard both ways.
Obligatory John Rogers quote:

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
Could almost say the same thing about twitter. It’s mostly short quips and links to longer-form content.
Yes, oysters and similar molluscs filter the water column and hence improve water clarity... but they're the filter. They may accumulate a wide variety of interesting materials and compounds, such as microplastics, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides and herbicides... and then people eat this equivalent of a swimming pool filter? No thanks.

For example:
