> It's the role of science and government to find out which anti-biotics, which hormones, and which pesticides case increased rates of which cancers.

Not necessarily.

One of several roles of government is to overcome coordination problems that would otherwise inhibit the production of public goods, such as new antibiotics and other better treatments for bacterial infections.

Another role of government is to regulate markets by creating incentives in the form of laws and legal regulations. In this case, government could estimate the societal cost of agricultural antibiotic use, and then impose taxes on agricultural antibiotic use equal to the amount of that cost. if those costs turn out to be punitive, then tough shit, they'll need to figure it out. The proceeds from tax is levied could then be redirected to basic research as needed.

Of course, this doesn't tend to work so well in practice due to any number of corruption and regulatory capture channels, so it tends to be easier to just ban harmful practices outright, which of course governments also have the power to do.
You can read this as dismissive, but it does show the strength of the drive to rationalize; which is one of my biggest problems with things like "rational skepticism". It's too easy to rationalize something you already believe, or a situation you just happen to find yourself in. It's too fun to 'debunk' things, and too much of a chore to actually change beliefs.

I realize the obvious counter "That's not real rational skepticism".

Yeah, I thought you crafted some Excel monstrosity based on the title. Maybe a mod can change the title for you to say "for Excel."

Also, I would be super proud if I'd created this. Excellent work!!!
Thank you so much for this.

To be clear, Bedtimestories is just the beginning, its an easy target, and easy to market. Our mission is a lot bigger, we want to become "the narrative company" and are building the tools to make that happen.

Excited, and hope to have you and the wife and kids along for the ride!

Your body will only store surplus fat long-term if you consume enough calories to maintain the surplus. Otherwise your body makes fat from the sugary sweets, but then later converts it back and burns it when you need energy.

The real “myth” of calories in = calories out is that it’s possible to do it by feel. It takes a lot of work and math, like spreadsheet-level, to actually track calories in and out. So even though it is physically true as a concept, it’s not a good weight management strategy for most people.

Sugary snacks don’t make you feel very full for their caloric content. So unless you’re literally writing down the caloric information on the wrapper and comparing it to your total daily activity, it’s easy to overeat.

It is not at all uncommon for researchers to be unwilling/unable to take their work beyond the research lab.

In the world of academia, it is citations and papers that academics want. You won't get extra citations just because you can buy it on amazon.

Yeah, we're supposed to be imagining something fast here, and that works.

That doesn't look anonymous (people can see what content an IP is viewing), it has zero uptake, it's probably script kiddie tier software like every other p2p thing ever made, it appears to use federation which severely limits liquidity of content, and possibly even just does moderation by letting each member (server) of the federation be the moderator.
It feels like an LLM should easily be able to handle this problem. Some of these kinds of authoritative voices are almost certainly represented in its latent space.

> There is even such a thing as too fast. If a user doesn't notice the page updated due to speed, that is also a poor experience.

If you're relying on your app's execution time to demonstrate this to a user, then you have poor UX. Instant changes and updates have been the norm in mobile apps forever and optimistic UI is becoming pretty standard on the web too, see Linear for example.
I have an SFFPC myself, but I fear their days are numbered with the ridiculous sizes of GPUs these days. Sure, a 3060 fits in this, but that’s hardly a cutting edge card.

I had to bend my Ncase M1 to fit my 3070 on top of deshrouding it. The fact that the FEs (and some Zotac two fans) are the only smaller sized versions of these cards makes me think the primary Nvidia partners like aren’t terribly interested in making the cards smaller because they fit fine in ATX cases.

I hope I’m proven wrong with the 5000 series GPUs. I’d hate to have to upsize just to play current games.
I’m obsessed with business ideas. Of course I realized I’d never get to them all so I do something similar to this — send them out.

As a competitor in the space I can’t resist tooting my own horn a little bit — I happen to also produce ideas of the unvalidated variety [0] and just crossed 1000ish subs and was pretty excited about it.

Startups FYI is kind of the inverse of what I do (the startups are validated, for the most part), so for the more adventurous reader, check out Unvalidated Ideas!

I can guarantee theres at least one great idea in the almost 120+ I’ve put out — I just don’t know exactly which one it is :)

I’m particularly proud of some readers that have taken an idea and run with it, like

What on earth "best knowledge" could an employer know about domestic disputes? America has a deep deep well of benefits offered to people who claim domestic violence. They can get a TRO and have the children and gun rights taken from the person, they can get assistance from a battered women's shelter, they can get the upper hand in family court, they can get the house/custody because after the TRO the person is kicked out of the house and can be argued as having left the family. If the person is foreign, they get massive massive incentive to claim domestic abuse as that's the magic words they need to invoke VAWA and get that golden residency visa. Not saying any of this is the case here, but a mere charge or allegation of domestic violence is difficult for an employer to investigate in any meaningful way.

And even more dystopian : "The woman was not identified in court documents." Yeah lets fire someone when we can't even find out who made the accusation, and don't know whether they're guilty or not. How do you even investigate the accuser's claims as an employer if you have no idea who they even are. It's dystopian to have court cases where you can't even find out who an adult accuser is.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. IMO employers should stay the fuck out of domestic disputes until the person is actually found guilty.
That was exactly my first thought. We could definitely throw the SSRI efficacy into doubt though by sampling CS fluid or something for actual serotonin content in cohorts who are subjectively feeling improved by SSRIs.
I doubt he voluntarily walked away…the only product he launched, the Coinbase NFT marketplace, flopped and the general crypto slump has also affected the company.
> I’m a bit confused why antibiotic resistant bacteria is so scary.

It's scary because if you can't kill the bacteria, the bacteria kills you.

--

> My layman understanding is that antibiotics gum up the mechanism to produce the cell wall.

This layman's idea is incorrect. Not all antibiotics work on cell walls. Not all bacteria have defined cell walls. Look up Mycoplasma.

--

> Is the concern that studies to confirm lack of effects will take too long? Not that it’s a difficult engineering challenge? Couldn’t we be doing this research already, of finding other ways to disrupt the mechanism?

Most of the antibiotics we have were either found by accident, or computed derivatives of something that was found by accident. We've exhausted the low hanging fruit. More complex antibiotics often have bad side effects (ciprofloxacin) or are effective enough that we use them in the most guarded fashion to keep them in the chamber when needed (carbapenem derivations).

There's a metric crap ton of money going into the research of new antibiotics, it's just not straight forward.
Vegan is more than avoiding meat. As far as health is concerned, I would put avoiding salmon, eggs, and fermented milk on the "makes your diet less healthy" list. I would be very curious to see a study that said avoiding once a week liver was healthier than having it.

Daily consumption of red meat? Yeah, the jury appears to be tilted against such behavior/habit.
100k developers isn't near enough to simultaneously maintain these features while keeping up the rate of new messaging apps per year that need to be created.
Jep, my company uses Postgres RLS for a pretty big project for a client in the finance sector. It's the foundation of our multi-tenant setup there. We connect with a single DB user, but set a session variable at the start of each transaction. This session variable is then used by the RLS policies to filter the data.

Works like a charm, you basically get to build your app like it was dealing with a single tenant DB. Just make sure it's as hard as humanly possible for application developers to forget setting that tenant ID when they query... In our case we have a custom JPA base repository which takes care of that, and some PMD rules to catch rogue repos/queries.
WkWebView is a web renderer and partial navigator, it's not a browser.

My point is that people are really stretching the term "skin". Bookmark syncing, tab & window management, history management, security management etc. all are features of a browser, and they have a major impact on the UX of that browser. They are WHY there are still users of Firefox or Chrome on iOS! They're not "skin" features, which typically imply minor look & feel related items.
There’s a lot of bad advice here. Like you can dismiss this article right when the author says they read every resume and don’t use a scanner. Unless this is a tiny shop with no recruiter anywhere in the process, this simply isnt true. The recruiter is going to screen some of them, even before the hiring manager gets to them.

Now don’t get me wrong. Some of the stuff in the article is good, if tailored for new grads and junior people, but some is just bad and wrong.

I’d say pretty much anything everything billeted in this article is trash. The insights in the prose.

Don’t skip the keywords folks.

No one gives a fuck about your social media (eg StackOverflow, GitHub, Kaggle, etc). I don’t have time to read some rando’s code, and all it does it show me that you don’t have a hobby outside of promoting yourself on social media.
This is the kind of project that could be prototyped by a mechanical engineering student in a few weeks. If you want it really badly, just find a mech eng student who wants a summer job.
> you will now see multiple 0%-100% charge cycles daily.

Very much not likely.

You have to realize how big the batteries are on EVs. It isn't uncommon to have 80 or 100kWh batteries on EVs (and that number is likely to go up.). Even small batteries are around 40kWh.

Average home energy consumption is 30kWh per day in the US. Meaning even for a small battery you are looking at a single extra cycle per day at most. However, if you are pairing your car charging with home solar then you are looking at a more ideal charge/discharge (Possibly keeping the car between 40 and 80%)

Amazon has been working on robotics for years and has been incorporating it into their warehouses for a long time.

https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/warehouse-robotics-auto....

Not sure how much I agree with this, but a buddy of mine for years talked about how problematic it was for warehouse workers to fight for higher wages and more support because their jobs would likely be automated away in the near-ish future. His argument was that these jobs are not intended to be long-term career jobs and that by pretending they are, you run the risk of doing people a disservice as they stay longer and they become less employable over time.
I currently use n8n, but always great to see more alternatives in this space.

One thing that has surprised me is that no one has tried to standardize on the Zapier or IFTTT APIs / SDK implementation to allow for faster deployment of integrations. Seems like there could be a movement here that is akin to how many services use S3 compatible APIs.
True, but useful criticism. The OP's point was just patently obvious -- for any social media site.
India has the right and ability to stop foreign propaganda. Most countries do. Except the US apparently.
No they don't, these are all pretendous laws, leaving loopholes. It is much easyier gathering one big "fine" from companies, than taxing individuals.

What makes you say the value of their contribution is minor? Is there some public basis for that sort of claim to be found elsewhere?
It's not that misleading. This isn't an early employee who held onto his shares. He joined less than two years ago. He got an insanely high compensation package.
Compared to what? Either you're on contract and they could simply not renew it when the 1/3/6 month timeline is up, or you're an employee and they could simply lay you off without warning on a completely unpredictable and arbitrary timeline.

Everything is tenuous compared to living off the safe withdrawal rate of a $10 million diversified investment portfolio.
Machines are a capital expenditure. You basically can't scale them down below their initial investment cost to acquire.

Order picking is, in the grand scheme of human employment, essentially unskilled labor. It takes a bit of practice to get efficient, and a certain level of perseverance and endurance to operate at top efficiency, but it doesn't take any form of higher study, credentialing or apprenticeship to become qualified at. Scaling seasonal workers in this role is relatively trivial in terms of expense compared to purchasing robots.

Final note: humans take years to become obsolete and replaced by newer generations. The same isn't true with robots. If you can get full use out of one year round, it is much easier to justify investing now rather than 5 years from now than if you only get two months a year use out of it.
Since you're curious: in the original Latin you'd be looking for words of 3rd declination that have "ent" and, depending on case, end with -ens (contraction of ent+s), -entis, -entia or something like that.

I guess English took (ens -> ence) and (entia + l -> ential).

I think that if God is really there (not just as a word, not just as an idea, but as Someone who really exists), and if He can be known, then that's worth chasing.

A shiny new car? Not so much. As Dion said, "Cadillacs end up in the junkyard."

Money? As Tim O'Reilly said, "Money is like gasoline during a road trip. You don't want to run out of gas on your trip, but you're not doing a tour of gas stations. We need to pay attention to money, but it shouldn't be about the money."

Me? It really shouldn't be about me, either. I've seen that "me" is a really small space. "Me" isn't enough to make me happy.

To the parent: If I may ask, where did you wind up? A Christian Marxist? An atheist that respects some of the teaching and who is skeptical of capitalism? Or where?
phages = bacteriophages = viruses that kill bacteria [1]

There's an arms race between bacteria and humans: bacteria infect humans → humans develop antibiotics to kill bacteria → bacteria evolves resistance against antibiotics → humans develop new antibiotics to kill resistant bacteria → bacteria evolves resistance to new antibiotics → ...

Developing more and more new antibiotics for resistant bacteria is slow and expensive. Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) on the other hand would naturally evolve with the bacteria, like how COVID evolved new strains in response to our vaccines.

I mean, we are hugely complicated gene-replication/improvement machines. So you have come to the ultimate conclusion without actually spelling it out.

If you really go to the basics then ones life is about attracting the best other-side of the genes to replicate with (this is the part where you try to impress with brains/humor/sportscar that you have the best available genes) and make sure they survive + get a nice boost in their part of attracting best genes.

I'd say there is an extra dimension now to make sure the environment where generations down genes of yourself have a good chance of surviving, but this is not yet programmed into genes.
Try not to let the negative feelings overwhelm you. You can experience them, but let them flow over, around, and past you. Stay connected to your physical body in the present moment. Don’t focus so much on what’s ahead or what’s behind. Every moment is a fresh new moment and experience.

Suggest you try meditation. And maybe make some room for frivolous, creative activities, if you can.
We really just need a standard. The j1772 includes data lines. V2G is would literally be just controlling when the cars battery is connected to the charge circuit.

I didn't imply HTTP API, I said "API" on purpose: they provide an SMTP API for bulk sending (an smtp relay), simple smtp sending and a nice curl command that can be used in simple scripts.

If that is not enough, Nylas is an option.

I just find extreme limiting your hosting options for email sending, especially when you can still host wherever you want and use email services from other providers.

In case of self hosting, the clients are also limited (usually yourself, family and friends), so you can even ask to "allow list" the address you plan to use for those communications.

Ask HN: What's your favourite bot API/SDK?
Those of you who have implemented interactive chat/messaging bots - I'm curious to hear if there were any particularly positive/negative experiences you've had with existing APIs, SDKs or tools that you have used?

E.g. I know that Slack and Telegram have both had success with their APIs, but that doesn't necessarily mean developers enjoyed using them.

I'm looking to learn what API design patterns should be considered ideal, and which (if any) should be avoided.
Article says "...Ford's revenues are five times the size of Coinbase's...". Isn't it more like 69x (Q3: Ford $39.4B and Coinbase: $576M).
>LLM's might bring some of the fun and exploration back to learning to code.

Absolutely. I am an extremely technical, well-read, but NOT A PROGRAMMER... and I am having fun learning to code well enough for Wikipedia editing (I have a 20+ year account there which is cited by ChatGPT when asking certain technical questions) and creation of simple JSON databases and movie script writing.

I love how on YouTube all these <10k subscriber Prompt Engineers are just playing and having fun on their videos, and retiring from their dead-end IT jobs that can never afford to fully appreciate them.

One particularly adept quote that I am just-now relating to (after six weeks playing with GPT-like systems) is when David Shapiro (YouTuber Tech Guy) says: "I have been in IT for decades and decided recently to just turn my phone/email off, because nobody appreciates what I'm trying to explain to them, until they just start playing around with it themselves... and then they want to call me and get information from me that initial was "stupid" — and I just don't have time for this" (less than faithfully paraphrasing). His entire channel is worth spending a few hours to understand; I would suggest starting in his collection with [AIpocolypse] then his very recent topic on [Companionship], and then lastly get a well-rounded POV by taking in a woman's incredible understanding of this technology by watching David Shapiro's interview with [Anna Bernstein].

I have turned my own phone off and am instead just playing around internally with this incredible tool that let's you access limitless datasets in mere seconds for less than a penny.
