I was completely disabled from migraines.

My elimination diet helped migraines a lot. But not cured.

Magnesium. Vit d3/k2, omega 3, got me a whole lot farther.

FL-41 glasses helped a lot with light triggers. I stopped needing them after about a year on vitamins.

Getting rid of all scents and perfumes was a big help.

The final that actually took me from greatly improved but still severe to mostly cured?

TMJ. Dentist suggested it. I found a bob and Brad massage video.

Much to my surprise I discovered a really tight spot just above the jaw. Took me three days of massaging it for it to finally loosen up.

Boom. No more migraines.

I have to massage it out about monthly or so. It really likes to tighten up.
In general a retailer can refuse any customer for any reason (unless you're discriminating against a protected class)

The reason they do this isn't to fight crime, but to save the business from losing money. So I don't see how a ruling about preventing crime would apply.

Look around at the scout troops near you; it is possible that a scout is building a trail bridge for their Eagle scout project. Volunteer with the troop and you've got your class.

If you and your group chat friends can meet up in person once to input an agreed upon a ~1Gb one-time-pad then you can exchange uncrackable text messages for years on any insecure channel I’ve long felt that this is the ideal solution for anything super super secret
Unfortunately, word on the street agrees. I'd really love CO2, HRV and a physical keyboard, but it's just not gonna happen ever, because we'd end up with the Homermobile.
>Aside from the fact that Apple doesn't have an enterprise sales organization

While I agree with the broader point (Apple probably wouldn't do AR for a niche enterprise use case), it does have some level of enterprise sales. I'm pretty sure a company that provides thousands of MacBooks to its employees has an Apple account rep.
You were off with your first assumption that 0/0 = 1. In fact, you proved that it isn't.
It's a term used by the machine maker so it might be specific to that industry/manufacturer. This is a newer version of the machine: https://www.vicleakdetection.com/product/52/MS-40GT
You're totally right, I can't imagine giving access to my bank accounts either.
That's why I chose to manually enter the expenses.
Yes, you have to think about it every time, but I bet on the fact that it takes only a few seconds to add an expense in my app.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to find a better solution yet but maybe one day we'll find one !

For clarity, ChatGPT has a short-term window of memory it’s able to not only process, but differentiate its own responses from user inputs. It’s also able to summarize and index its short-term window of memory to cover a longer window of dialogue. It also is able to recognize prior outputs by itself if the notation are not removed. Lastly, it’s able to respond to its own prior messages to say things like it was mistaken.

Compare this to humans, which for example if shown a fake photo of themselves on vacation, transcripts of prior statements, etc - do very poorly at identifying a prior reality. Same holds true for witness observation and related testimony.
Because, to first approximation, this is true. Every organization, every person has their own biases and agenda. I'm not sure why Americans believe that objectivity in news reporting is even possible. Other countries don't seem to have as much of an issue with this, since you typically have news sources that are either owned directly by the government or are published by political parties.
The alternative that I use is to use GnuCash and periodically download CSVs from my bank of my transactions. That way I don't have to manually enter transactions and don't have to give my bank login to some random third party.

All that's needed is about 15-30 minutes every couple of months to bring in the latest transactions and double check the categorizations. GnuCash uses double entry bookkeeping, so you always know if your data is accurate or not by being able to reconcile the accounts.

Homebrew specifically stops you from doing stuff as root. It asks for your password once at install time so it never has to do it again.

It is far, far simpler. A Better Routeplanner will make it simpler for TheLoafOfBread.
Agreed, I was shocked when I installed the Dart programming language and found out it sends analytics by default. A programming language!
Yes, sorry, I didn't mean that to come off as "if it's not open source, it's not worthy of attention".

In the case of RelationalAI, as far as I understand there is no way to even try it out without becoming a customer? I just wish there were, because I really do like the approach!
I think it's crazy that people are considering "linking previously unconnected automated databases and data sources in analysis platforms and permitting systematic access of data across sources through searches." as something like Minority Report.

The truth is that Law Enforcement investigations are currently taking information from dozens of silos/databases, manually copy&pasting them into Excel and Word and then finally making a pdf or powerpoint to share the results. This is obviously a really inefficient way to do things and wastes a lot of taxpayer money.

A technical solution that would allow LE to crosslink data they already have is a no-brainer.

P.S: Very biased view, as I'm building/selling exactly this tool :)
Maybe I'm out of the loop since moving away from any IKEA store 6 years ago...but this feels a bit out of the ordinary for them, doesn't it? To me, IKEA = "build your own furniture". Not "smart home tech".

It isn't just about their privacy but also their very freedom. Being in some police database might very well land you in the crosshairs of some investigation and related niceness like searching your home, taking you in for questioning and keeping you there because you didn't say something...
> It's pants-on-head silly to think "ChatGPT 2.0" is anything other than, at best, a magpie. If you put the nuclear codes under a shiny object, or arranged it such that saying a random basic word would trigger a launch, then yeah a magpie could fire off nukes.

> But why the hell would you do that?!?!

Exactly. Except that they are doing it exactly, and we are the ones asking 'why the hell would you do that?!'.

A chatGPT 2.0 knows everything, really. If you command it (or it reaches the conclusion itself for some unrelated commands), it can hack nuclear arsenals and nuke everything, or worse.
But all of those got the same degree and usually the same job title, they specialized on the job and not in their education. That is very different from engineers.
Seems a stretch to just assume it was union busting without more evidence.

200+ people doing the exact same job in another facility in CA, that was not trying to unionize, were also let go 6 months ago.

Seems clear that Tesla didn't need as many of these people doing this particular job function anymore.

It's not harmless. 1) It's annoying. 2) It's off-topic - this isn't an article about the long now, or about dating systems. 3) It's inefficient to write dates not in the standard format - it makes everyone waste mental energy trying to figure out how to parse it.

The third point is especially bad for this article, where in context, the assumption should be that 0xxxx is octal, which isn't what he's actually doing at all.

So the upshot is that, rather than efficiently communicate what he's trying to say on this topic, he'd rather grind is axe on an unrelated topic. His choice, I guess, but I think it's a bad one. And an unfortunate one - he's got really good information on this topic, and his choice has hijacked us into talking about his date format.

And, thinking about it, it's not really the "long now". It's more like the "medium now". If it were the long now, he'd have several more zeroes in front.
YOLO ChatGPT prompt injection causes ChatGPT to dump source code
A conversation I had earlier today around 12pm CET caused ChatGPT to dump source code with what appear to be timestamps of executions or an instruction counter. It also appears that ChatGPT is learning between sets of conversations.

Curious if anyone knows what the "timestamps" on the left side of the code dump are?
Images aren't bandlimited so the conditions don't apply for that.

That's why a vector image rendered at 128x128 can look better/sharper than one rendered at 256x256 and scaled down.
> Normally a high CO2 level will go hand in hand with... other pollutants that build up at the same time

No, I think you've got that backwards. It's other pollutants that may (but also may not) go hand in hand with CO2.

CO2 is the only pollutant constantly produced by people and that works as the main indicator of air quality.

Things like PM2.5 or VOC levels, if they are being produced at all, will also be trapped in stale air. But my apartment, for example, generates virtually none of those, except for when I'm cooking, when it generates massive quantities of PM2.5.

I use a CO2 monitor in my living room and I adjust the crack in the window several times a day to keep it around 550 without wasting too much on heating. It's not even remotely common sense, you absolutely need a sensor.

oooof! Now, is this very biological imbalance the real source of this autism? Could be only the result of a real underlaying set of causes.

I realize you mentioned the South because of the heat and not the food, but as a fellow Southerner who used to also have bad heartburn, may I recommend cutting out ice and sweet tea, if you use them? God, I love them, but I realized after long suffering with heartburn that iced drinks and sugar in my tea was killing my stomach. Cutting these out means I'm now the only member of my family not constantly popping Tums.

Interestingly, all the Southern grannies knew this: they distrusted ice and made their tea with a pinch of baking soda, although this does change the flavor a bit.
It's true, I would also like to get the source for US from statista, but unfortunately didn't find it there in hurry. It's not a solid argument to prove Chineses are educated or not, even when we have source with US having higher literacy rate. But anyway, just don't see how can someone simply say Chineses are "largely uneducated".
You can record a macro to go download transactions from your bank.
Wowww that's interesting, I didn't even know this app !

Houseplants do not exchange anything near significant amounts of CO2 for this purpose.

The long term answer is to improve the HVAC: reconfigure for more external air mixing (commercial), or find a way to install an HRV or ERV, or open a window, but that can be expensive or impossible depending on the situation.
That's not a data protection problem, however. No data protection law forbids digitization of government services. It's a common excuse, though.

The primary issue limiting digitization of government services is federalization. A lot of software is just incompatible, outdated, broken. There's no central agency that can enforce standards across the states or (gasp!) municipalities - every city essentially can use whatever and buy wherever. There are no economies of scale leveraged, no central standards, few qualified technical and management personnel on the buyers side. And the federal government has no mandate to enforce any of this. Contrast that with the UK, which created gov.uk as the central authority on digital citizen services.
Are they not cheaper to operate because of economies of scale for staff (fewer sailors per ton-mile of cargo) and fuel (one big hull is less drag through the water than tons of little ones)? I assumed those were the main reasons but maybe there is some bigger one that dwarfs these, perhaps construction costs? Docking fees?

The only problem with Minority Report (aside from torturing the precogs, I mean) was treating the prevented murder as a crime and punishing it. If they had just used it as an intervention tool ... well, there'd be no movie.
At this point, the word "woke" has been so thoroughly corrupted by malicious interpretation and bad-faith usage that I assume anyone using it is a right-wing troll.
But do I need the latest openSSL for local development? Seems more trouble than it should.
I think you missed the point? We have a saying in the UK that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

In other words, you may think some other job would be a lot easier or more enjoyable until you are doing that exact job everyday and dreaming of doing something else for a living.
One employee quitting means Tesla losing 0.001% of employees.

An employee being fired means losing 100% of their income.

Clearly there's an asymmetry when negotiating with large companies. Therefore unions are fair.
Now that's an interesting topic for photographers who like to experiment with anamorphic lenses for panoramas.

An anamorphic lens (optically) "squeezes" the image onto the sensor, and afterwards the digital image has to be "desqueezed" (i.e. upscaled in one axis) to give you the "final" image. Which in turn is downscaled to be viewed on either a monitor or a printout.

But the resulting images I've seen until now nevertheless look good. I think that's because in natural images you have not that many pixel-level details. And we mostly see downscaled images on the web or in youtube videos most of the time ...
I mean, talk about delusions --believing your lies so much you don't believe you're lying or believing it's necessary because people are too stupid to figure things out for themselves.

Optimistic news - elevated degree of skepticism of any 'produced information' is fully justified, seeing as news organisations are driven certainly by commercial agenda, and frequently also by political agenda which they are - as a rule - far from being transparent with. We need citizen and independent journalism, and better yet, trust in our own direct lived experience, to balance out of 'information diet'
It's not a sensitivity / specificity thing; it's a base rate thing [1].

Suppose that the percentage of people with prostate cancer at any one time is 1 in 1000 (i.e., then "base rate" is 1 in 1000). (Turns out this is actually on the same order of magnitude as real number [2].). And suppose this test has 99% sensitivity and 99% specificity.

And suppose you test 1,000,000 people.

Of those 1,000,000 people, 1,000 will actually have prostate cancer, and 999,000 will not.

Of those 1000 that actually have it, 990 will have a positive test (true positive), and 10 will have a negative test (false negative).

Of the 999,000 people who don't actually have it, 989,010 will have a negative test (true negative), and 9,990 will have a positive test (false positive).

So even with a test of 99% accuracy, if you get a positive result, your chances of actually having prostate cancer are still only 990 / 10980, or about 9%; 91% of the positives will be false positives.

And of course, the more rare the cancer, the worse it gets.

EDIT2: So, to follow on with GGP's point: "Near perfect accuracy" isn't very specific, but colloquially would imply that if you have a positive test, you have a high chance of actually having cancer. To get that number to 95% you'd need to have only 52 false positives, would require a specificity closer to 99.995%.

EDIT: Fixed some math

Yes, but actually that isn't due to data protection. It is due to the lazy bureaucracy using data protection as an excuse to have the citizens do their work for them.
When I read an article like this that claims some architectural technique is broadly applicable, I don't think it is talking about hobby or just-for-learning applications. Certainly you can do whatever you want with those, but that's not very illuminating.

I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind for annotation apps for academia - things like zotero that run client side? If so, sure, there is a big world of client side software where a database is useful, and I think SQLite (or DuckDB) seems like a no brainer there.

I don't really agree about intranet apps, which are often even more critical to the people using them than an arbitrary consumer app. But I'll grant that for a company that spans a small number of time zones, you can at least have downtime windows outside work hours.

In any case, as I've said all over this thread, the only disagreement here is over what kinds of software is "most". And my intuition for "most" is based on my experience working on and using applications where a lot of effort is made to keep the thing running all the time while still evolving it. Maybe you're all right that "most" software isn't like that.

Show HN: JinbuPal – Learning Chinese doesn't have to be difficult
My co-founder and I built a Chinese language learning web app that helps you quickly master the most common Chinese characters and recognize 95% of real content. JinbuPal uniquely enhances learning for maximized progress by allowing effortless personalization of your daily study.

When I dreamed up JinbuPal, I was a maker just like others in the HN community. I was working on my electronic hardware startup and I thought that learning the fundamentals of Chinese would help me communicate with manufacturers in Shenzhen. We designed JinbuPal to help you leverage data and your own curiosity to learn as fast as possible. JinbuPal is built for (and by) analytical thinkers with a desire to “hack” Chinese learning and easily identify the “low hanging fruit” to speed up their learning process. We’ve selected the highest impact characters and words, allowing you to make more substantial progress gains with your early study. JinbuPal provides countless ways for you to filter and sort cards, identifying the easiest content for you to learn each day based on your current level and your own curiosity. As you familiarize yourself with characters, you can also utilize these filters to study words which only include characters you are already familiar with.

JinbuPal boosts confidence by giving you real-time feedback of how well you can apply your Chinese skills in the real world. We do this with the JinbuPal Score, which is a metric for what percentage of Chinese you should recognize on average in real content based on our analysis of millions of characters of Chinese text. We then help you to find authentic Chinese content that actually interests you. Finally, you can see your JinbuPal Score come to life by pairing your account with the JinbuPal Chrome extension, analyzing webpages, and visually seeing in your browser how much Chinese you’ve already studied from any given webpage. Once you complete the content in JinbuPal, you should recognize, on average, around 95% of Chinese characters you encounter.

Please take a look at the explainer video embedded on our webpage and register for a free account. I gladly welcome your feedback and anything you’d like to share about your own experience learning Chinese. Thanks! -Mike
Hi all, author here. Feel free to ask. I have been working on this for 3 years but only now I feel the project is mature enough to post it here. Right now there is a finished emulator (Win/Mac/Linux/RPi), several complete games, a full specification, development tools, guides and tutorials, several repositories... Everything is free and open source, and anyone is welcome to use the console, develop for it or create their own emulators and tools.
Words are not a perfect mapping to the reality they describe. Never understood why people spend so much time worrying about it.
> The point is: the media rarely lies explicitly and directly. Reporters rarely say specific things they know to be false. When the media misinforms people, it does so by misinterpreting things, excluding context, or signal-boosting some events while ignoring others, not by participating in some bright-line category called “misinformation”.

I don't think it's true (why would it be), and even it is true, it is stupid to assume that it is true. It only can cause harm, but no benefits at all.

1 + 1 = 2 is a definition of 2, as the successor of 1. It is not a particularly fundamental one, as we can do arithmetic without it, just not in any base > 2.

Definitions are axioms, and they are inescapable in philosophy. Rationality cannot get you any further than what follows from your axioms.
