What are you trying to achieve? Because I could also add, your omega 3 intake can also be a factor, Omega 3 reduces the number of osteoclasts for the flip side of the bone health and also increase the size of neutrophils which will engulf bacteria which invariable destroy bones and leads to arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Growth hormone, either 95% of tryptophan via the kynurenic pathway or nicotinic acid on an empty stomach will increase the number of neutrophils, although medical experts will normally give intravenous growth factor aka growth hormone. Stress hormones like adrenaline will reduce the effectiveness of neutrophils (Left shift iirc) as will a B12 deficiency (neutrophil hyper segmentation). Omega 3 will increase the neutrophil size by just under 40% so that they are large enough to consume yeast cells, which makes me wonder if brewers yeast is potentially harmful. Manganese Ascorbate is also useful because much of the vit C is stored inside the neutrophils, so larger neutrophils mean high levels of Vit C, and the manganese can contribute to MnSOD to neutralise ROS inside the mitochondria and help to repair cartilage in places like knee joints.

Omega 3 also help the serotonin and melatonin in the brain and spinal fluid which also helps with getting to sleep.

When the UK govt were giving cod liver oil and malt to kids in the 50's or 60's, under the pretence of preventing Ricketts, they knew what they were doing to control future GDP and aggression levels.

Considering the Japs are experts in Vit K studies, and prescribe K2-MK4 to post menopausal women who are naturally consuming an iodine and omega 3 rich diet seafood diet and also happen to have some of the longest living females in the world, and some of the highest IQ's in the world, I think looking to them will give you more info than a typical western diet.

Just 150micrograms of T3 (Triiodothyronine - one iodine atom removed by selenium, with 80% of this T4-T3 conversion taking place outside of the thyroid gland) will half the time spent in Intensive care in hospitals. Tyrosine is the main ingredient of T3 (hormone) & T4 )pro-hormone) so your metadata for getting more tyrosine in your diet is when you start to get grey hairs.

Many govts, like the UK Govt are deliberately harming the population with their treatments provided by the health care system and what is taught at med school, which clogs up beds and pushes up house prices with the elderly who dont want to go into nursing homes. A crude example of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, an agenda many govt's are now following around the world.

And choline can also reduce stress levels by reducing the CO2 build up in the body and lungs. Choline is used in the alveoli of the lungs to facilitate the gas exchange, its also used in the cell walls and the connection between neurons. The more choline you consume, the better your physical performance and mental ability. Personally I found L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine to be best, but yet to try citicoline which is used in hospitals for brain injuries and costs about £3k a kilo.

Like I said, what you are trying to achieve?

C&C Generals had a thing where if you had multiple clients with the same CD key in a multiplayer game everything would be fine for a while, but 10 minutes into the game all the buildings of the people who duplciate keys would explode.

This happened a few times at LAN parties to my friends, some of whome gave each other the game by copying the install directory across. Took us a while to work out what the hell was happening.

The probability of a mutation being deleterious is so much higher than that of it being helpful that mutations are bad.
Yup. Remote biometrics? Forget about it.

Another big problem with biometrics is that if they're "stolen" then you can't revoke them. That said, if you control the hardware and physical environment where the biometrics are used then it's hard to use the stolen biometrics.

I could see a case for going to an office that was approved by the government to verify your biometrics. That way the hardware and physical environment would be controlled. The office could have people verifying that you don't, for example, have fake fingerprints over your real ones.

Then that office could act like a certificate authority and generate a certificate that links your identity to a newly generated public key. Then all authentication would be done using the private key and certificate instead of using the biometrics directly.

In such a case, stolen biometric data wouldn't be useful since it'd be hard to get past physical inspection.

My advice: Don't use Paypal ever again.
Slightly off-topic, but I'm curious if anyone knows the best established way to accept payment for items sold+shipped through sites like ebay.

I've heard enough horror stories from sellers claiming they'd shipped items only to have the buyer falsely claim it never arrived or wasn't what was advertised to get reimbursed/chargeback, and never return the item or return a box of rocks.

This has prevented me from selling anything online outside of in-person CL sales for over a decade now. Ages ago I sold many things on ebay that were shipped without difficulty, accepting paypal, none of this fuckery, but times have changed.

Is there a safe way to do this sort of business as a seller today? It really sucks to not have access to the broader market for selling some niche items, esp. in my rural region w/low population density.
I think https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/stable-diffusion-... describes running it on the Neural Engine.
It’s an interesting aspect that in my professional career definitely nothing is final. But customer service can really be inflexible, even when there is no risk, or it would be even better for the company.
I don’t understand why PayPal isn’t regulated like a bank. You’d think after thousands of horror stories where PayPal literally steals people’s money, someone would step in and enforce them to provide a minimum level of service when closing an account, ie a way to get your funds out.
> it's worth reviewing where total government spending in the US actually goes.

Is it also worth reviewing

1. are we likely to ever increase incoming tax revenue (which loopholes stand to benefit the country's income the most without hurting it's citizens/economy/the businesses (and its employees who are basically the citizens) inside of it) enough to offset the debt-GDP ratio

2. if we are (or even if we aren't) going to increase taxation, are we going to lower spending in a significant manner or can we count on spending to pretty much stay the same or grow to offset the debt-GDP ratio

so far in the past like, 15 years, we've shown we're going to keep taxes roughly the same and keep spending roughly the same (continue to grow it year over year)

therefore we have no indication that we're headed towards anything but a debt/GDP ratio of 120-150% next 10 years, correct?
Why would producers be unable to call a product by its commonly used named absent evidence of any real confusion or significant harm?
I'm glad you were able to use Ozembic in that way, to me, that's the best use case. However, I don't see that being the norm, if you can just take Ozembic and keep those 60 pounds off permanently as long as you can afford it, then people are just going to do that

This is a huge advance if it works. But we've heard this before. People have been fooling around with lithium-air batteries since the 1970s.

Previous breakthrough announced in 2022: [2]

Previous "breakthrough" announced in 2021: [3]

Another "breakthrough" announced in 2021: [4]

Not clear if this really runs on "air", or whether it needs a clean gas mixture. Water vapor has caused problems with previous lithium-air systems. That's not a killer problem, though; extracting clean oxygen from air is not that hard. Nor is removing water.

Snow Crash does a good job satirizing the problems with float desks.

Though even Snow Crash is a little optimistic; it didn't predict the typical issues with a person's multi-monitor setup of the day not working quite right, or encountering weird hardware incompatibilities between one's docking station of the day and one's laptop.
Well, yeah, that’s my point. What is it about this case that makes invoking conspiracy theorists anything more than bait?
If this were as true as cast iron fans claim, teflon wouldn't have dominated home kitchens for decades, I expect.

I do cook on cast iron, but even the absolute very best cast iron pan I've ever cooked on (not mine—I get the cheap stuff, this was one of those perfectly-smooth beautiful hundred-plus-year-old pieces that'd been cared for quite well and was seasoned better than I've ever managed to get any of mine, despite trying every method that can be found online) wasn't as easy to cook on or to clean as teflon.

They beat teflon at searing and toasting (e.g. nuts or whole spices), mostly because teflon can't safely be heated to temps needed for those, but anything else? Very best case I've ever experienced, almost as easy to cook with and clean as teflon, worst case, way, way worse. Plus you've gotta keep acid away from the cast iron if you don't want your food to taste of iron and/or old polymerized fat, which really limits its utility.

[EDIT] It occurs to me—maybe people who find cast iron about as easy as teflon just cook extremely-different cuisine from what I do? I tend to do a lot of one-pan and sauce-and-starch-in-skillet stuff that's often hell in cast iron, if not just wholly inappropriate for it due to the acid levels. If way more of my cooking were steak-and-hard-vegetables dishes, say, I might wonder why people bother with teflon.

Again we don't know how minds work but we are sure they are not complex LLMs.

"Its zoning prohibits multifamily housing, whether apartments, townhomes or condos, along with commercial stores and shops in the entirety of its city limits.""

Many, many middle class communities all over the United States have similar restrictions. This is what single family zoning looks like and it's not a function of these particular residents being billionaires.

Further, living in a prototypical single family zoned "nice neighborhood" is an aspirational goal for quite a bit of the lower middle or lower working class in the United States - including the racial and class cohorts in whose name much of this housing deregulation is being done.

Perhaps they all need to be educated in the errors of their thinking ?
> If it's raining right now, it doesn't seem too far fetched to guess it will probably be raining in 1 minute.

That's a bit of an unfair example, though. If the Tesla stock is at 200 right now, the martingale property implies that I should expect it to be at 200 not just next minute or tomorrow, but also next week, two years from now, next decade, and so on. A martingale is not restricted in its time scale.

(This is using clearly expectation in the technical sense. The stock price may well go up, or go down, but we can't tell which or how much, so in the grand scheme of things, we're better off assuming it won't move at all.)
The machines themselves couldn't be "super" cheap, that's impossible. You still have to deposit the e-beam resist while keeping the wafers extremely clean. This is non-trivial.

The only route to economic viability is absolutely massive beam parallelism inside the tool. But at that scale, there's serious questions about accuracy/reliability. Just one out of hundreds of thousands (or millions) of beams fails for a microsecond and the chip is ruined. This is a problem that is effectively sidestepped for traditional litho -- the masks themselves are created by (slow) e-beam, but mask inspection tools ensure that the masks are perfect before they are actually used to process product wafers.
Actually I see it now. It doesn't include email. It's just their office competition.

Volumetric density matters too.
That makes sense (well, not the $2/hr dev work), but even if you outsource the actual support, wouldn't you build the system they use?

Amazon's support that only barely understands me and sounds strange (feels like they do german <=> english translation both ways and theirs is worse than google translate) leaves a bad impression on me, so at least I care, but I'll happily admit that I'm both no one and also very much not the average customer.

Still, it just feels wrong. Granted, I've never run a support team, but I expect most of it to be repeated things. Someone's package hasn't arrived. It has arrived but was damaged. It wasn't damaged, but it contained the wrong product. Or the wrong amount of products. Or the product wasn't new. Or the product is broken, or is the wrong color etc etc. And there's not really a lot of variety in it. You find out the issue, you offer one or two solutions ("money back or resend item"), you tell the customer to have a nice day. Having pre-made blocks of well-written text to choose from (you can even have the agent choose in english and the customer gets the localized version) seems like a trivial thing, but it'll transform the customer experience from "okay, I guess Amazon only employs imbeciles" to "wow, what a nice person, and they were typing very quickly".

Large corporations are confusing to me. I'd expect someone at Amazon going "yeah, let's do that, it'll save millions and improve customer satisfaction, it's no-brainer". Yet they don't. And so I wonder: do they know something I don't ("we've tested this, people are more cooperative if the support agent is obviously non-native"), or are they just incompetent?

Show HN: AnySwitch – a database of mechanical key switches
Hello there HN!

I've decided to build a new mechanical keyboard, and found out that there are new switches that were created by the community. I have some switches I like and own, but I can't physically try every possible switch. So I was looking for a site that lists all the switches and their parameters, and I couldn't find one. So I made it myself!

It's very early stage, and it's missing a lot of switches (mainly Gateron, and other small brands / manufacturers), but I think for an MVP - it's pretty good.

Let me know what do you think about it. What would you like to see there. Any kind of feedback is appreciated!

Cheers!
I think there's a big difference between "I want to be paid to live in an economically collapsed community because I was born here" and "I want to be able to afford to live in an economically thriving community because my friends and family are here". Especially when considering government policy.

Robin Hanson makes this point in better babblers http://www.overcomingbias.com/2017/03/better-babblers.html

"After eighteen years of being a professor, I’ve graded many student essays. And while I usually try to teach a deep structure of concepts, what the median student actually learns seems to mostly be a set of low order correlations. They know what words to use, which words tend to go together, which combinations tend to have positive associations, and so on. But if you ask an exam question where the deep structure answer differs from answer you’d guess looking at low order correlations, most students usually give the wrong answer."

IANAL, but it appears the default is the former.

> Licenses to practice inventions covered by patents and pending patent applications owned by the U.S. Government as represented by this Department will generally be royalty free, revocable and nonexclusive. They will normally be issued to all applicants and will generally contain no limitations or standards relating to the quality or testing of the products to be manufactured, sold, or distributed thereunder.

But...

> Where it appears however that the public interest will be served under the circumstances of the particular case by licenses which impose conditions, such as those relating to quality or testing of products, requirement of payment of royalties to the Government, etc., or by the issuance of limited exclusive licenses by the Secretary after notice and opportunity for hearing thereon, such licenses may be issued.

In other words, if it would be in the public interest to impose royalties, exclusivity, or conditions of use, the Government can do so. In this case since it's a high energy density battery, I suppose an argument could easily be made that it would be in the public interest for the government to impose conditions related to quality and testing.

Assuming a human can carry 20kg with relative ease (say, in a backpack or strapped to a bike), this new battery allows one to carry around 24kWh - enough to run a North American house for several hours. Or to drive an e-bike for 1,000 miles… Really stretches the imagination.
