Basically anything that isn't the standard western/American diet where "balanced" is supposed to mean: 3 meals, snacks in between, excessive fructose from fruit, excessive polyunsaturated fats from manufactured seed oils, constant eating and all energy coming from at least 60% carbodydrates (primarily processed, pre-digested, pulverized grains with a massive glycemic load).

Anything that is not the above, many variations low carb high fat or carnivore - will make your risks of modern chronic diseases (aka, hyperinsulinemia, diabetes, chronic inflammation, dislipidemia) go down dramatically. Especially if you are strict about your feast and fast cycles.

Humans are not omnivores we are obligate carnivores with a beneficial tolerance for a tiny number of plants. Plants have anti-nutrients that many are sensitive to.

Now bring on the downvotes I know they're coming.
Macedonia is particularly egregious because its genesis as an ethnic group is still within living memory and would make as much sense as Pennsylvanians declaring themselves the last true Vikings, erecting statues with horned helmets and talking about retaking their true homelands.

All other major ethnic groups in the Balkans have at least two or more generations from their creation, either synthetic or organic, and as such are as easy to take seriously as any other ethnicity, be it Han or English.

The Public, which is not an entity, also knew enough about lead. But they were not told the gas contained lead for the longest time. Ethyl was marketed as an antiknock additive explicitly dropping lead from the name for this very reason.

Then there was a big chunk of time taken out for WW2 where such considerations were pushed out.
The issue returned later but then it was argued there was no alternative for years.

> So again, no I did not say that all data is stored somewhere else.

This is splitting hairs. Actual data that is actually relevant to the property, is stored somewhere else. Which is ironic because elsewhere you stated: "but they no longer need to maintain their own database and IT application."

Oh look. They have to maintain their own database for the actual data

> The government would in this particular case.

Not in this particular case. But in all cases.

> Maybe in other cases it would be a company

So. You need central entities to verify and enforce rights to physical objects. You need central entities to store the actual data pertaining to objects and people.

So the point of blockchain in all this is...?
Not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying it would be better if they were a c-corp, or a sole proprietorship, or something else?
Contractors can form a company and negotiate with other companies as a group. Happens all the time.

I’m genuinely curious. Why would someone who feels that way about the tech industry bother participating in a tech-industry / startup-accelerator-sponsored forum?
Heatpumps are essentially pretty dumb devices at core. They use 24v AC for control, there's a reversing valve contactor to control if it's heating or cooling, there's a contactor for the fan, and one for each stage of the pump. Maybe there's another contactor for the emergency heating element. If you are fancy you might have contactors for UV sterilization, humidification, and/or dehumidification.

Literally the 'smartest' part of my HVAC system, beyond the thermostat, is the blower fan. It's a variable speed motor and has a speed controller integrated into the motor housing with multiple 'taps' that let you control the fan speed in steps. It's configurable if you have the programming hardware.
Nice framing - need to be better than supercharged auto-complete.

We don't have the clairvoyant ability to know that AGI will exist in any future near enough to worry about. It might or it might not - and even if it exists we could get its nature wrong and worry about the wrong things.
It incentivizes people to invest more. If you know that even after 4 years of time you are still only 60 days away from deportation you likely won't put down as much of an investment in the country.

IMO the true disaster is a generation of freeloaders demanding stuff all the time; they end up creating the perverse incentives that cause advertising to have more governing/mind control power than our states.
Thanks for posting this. More than anything I think this is a conversation starter. The issue is complex, and it does not help to pretend that any mental health issue can blended in to a functional life style. We spend so much time celebrating the "high functioning" neuro-diversives that we defocus from those that need a lot more help.
You are seeing the best of the best who come over here and or have families with money to support it.
I cannot upvote you enough, as I've been through similar problems many times. But in your case you could just re-crimp one side of your cable with unshielded connector. This is actually a good practice not only for noise and ground-loop preventions, but electrical safety too. Also, CAT.6 doesn't require shielding like FTP/SFTP/etc. - I'm using a CAT.6 UTP right now.

And anti-audiophiles are sometime becoming even worse than manical audiophiles - because of their deep blind belief in their educated superiority (while in reality it's a bit .. untrue).
> They don't have a choice to eat more plant based protein?

This isn't going to do much at all in the grand scheme of things

> They don't have a choice to drive smaller cars?

Most people aren't driving dualies. Usually they're driving sedans. I'd wager, anecdotally, most people cannot afford new, more efficient cars. If they need to get to work to feed their families, and they're strapped for cash, they'll buy an emissions ridden piece of crap just to get there.

People can't hardly live for themselves and you expect them to shoulder all of the burden that the manufacturing and oil industries are causing.

> To not make changes to your own life whilst wanting government to force the same changes on all of society seems pretty hypocritical.

I'd much rather governments ban net-positive carbon emissions by the major offenders entirely and force all further major offenders to shut down, but that doesn't make our government officials rich does it?
I experienced the same nagware screen. It was suspicious that the "No, I don't want to upgrade" button would be replaced by the "Yes, please take my money" button at just the time a user would be clicking to decline.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a company with such a terrible ethical track record is a part of the fractal of dark patters that is Amazon.

It still means deforestation, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, poisoning the ecosystem with pesti/herbicides and fertilizers on land (with the associated runoff into the waterways) and a lot of organic waste on the water (each salmon farm in scotland produces as much organic waste equivalent to a town of between 10 and 20,000 people each year).

Definitely true. The Vancouver offices exist basically for that. But then, a lot of people give up on coming to the US and stay in Canada permanently.
For other folks following along and possibly getting mislead by this (partial) nonsense, I'd encourage you to read a blog post I wrote about the topic of unwrap. I think it should clear up most things: https://blog.burntsushi.net/unwrap/

At a meta level, one of the reasons why there is so much focus on 'unwrap()' in particular is because it is often the precise point at which in your code where a runtime invariant is broken and thus leads to a panic. Nearly all code has runtime invariants in one form or another. The question is what happens when they're broken. In languages that are memory unsafe by default, the answer is often (but not always) "undefined behavior." In languages like Rust, or Python, or Go, the answer is often (but not always) "the process quits." The reality is more complicated than that, but those are a fine first approximation. For example, breaking a runtime invariant doesn't have to lead to undefined behavior or process termination. It can simply result in a logic error that leads to unexpected behavior.

Of course, making the issue more complicated is that sometimes 'unwrap()' is abused. And indeed, sometimes it is used in cases where an error ought to be returned. I find this to be generally pretty rare in popular libraries. But the key point here is that you can't just say, "oh I see unwrap() in a library, so now I'm going to scream ABUSE!!!!" It's more complicated than that.
its wild how everyday i learn something new about LLMs just reading here on HN haha

You can’t automate checking NFT certificates because they are all “real” and valid NFTs. The fact that the one you have wasn’t signed by the person who created the picture isn’t something cryptographically or even technically possible.
If you stay on the starting page, you can scroll down and see the prices (from 10k to 14k per unit + installation costs).
Every year it feels like Snow Crash gets more and more closer to being real.
And that's how you get people that think that every website starting with "https" is secure and legit, even though it's trivial for malicious sites to use TLS.

Fundamental cryptographic primitives (encryption, signatures,...) don't require any advanced math to understand if you don't go into the concrete instantiations. The technical community should really try to better teach these concepts to the general public as we move further into the digital age.
1. start with 1 billion people

2. of the smartest and most motivated people, consider those who are interested in moving to the US

3. allow a tiny percentage of these to do so

This is going to result in you encountering near-uniform brilliant people out of the starting population of 1 billion

The load never goes away in these graphs - the load is a constant sinusoid that's not actually shown on the graph. The blue line is queue depth.

You are right that it's not unloading. In general, you'd expect the response (green line) of a PID controller to a sinusoid load to be another sinusoid. In this case, because the maximum error is bounded on one side(the setpoint is 0, and queue length can never get below 0), it can only unload at a certain rate. It's typically the job of the Ki term to bring the long-term error towards zero. In this case, I think it's tuned small enough + the bounded asymmetric maximum error to result in it never unloading.

I’d definitively signup if that was available, just ideally as a monthly fee vs a negative interest rate. Just like I’ll pay for my content over it being “free” with ads and/or worse dark patterns.
90 days seems more reasonable.

When it's higher, this deliberately sets a higher bar for foreigners.
How are you going to do training on that machine in a reasonable amount of time? Most of the utility of these models are unlocked after fine tuning.
I mean in theory different versions of memcpy could result in different EMI emissions which could get picked up by various analog paths. It's not as crazy as gold plated optical cables. Not really a problem today, but back when everyone had soundcards, EMI could definately screw with your audio if your PC wasn't built correctly. Probably a worse problem for those who didn't plug in their computer into a grounded outlet as well.

I've definately heard hums in computer audio stemming from EMI when the computer is doing something heavy. Granted that was back when having your cellphone near your PC screwed with the sound when someone was calling.
Good question! At first I thought that maybe I wasn't waiting long enough after the load generator finished, but I just ran an experiment with a longer pause and I still don't see a scaling down after the traffic stops!

Perhaps my naive implementation of the PID controller isn't good enough, maybe:

It's funny how well the "seed oils bad" myth infected every diet camp. You see it in every HN thread on diet even though seed oils like canola oil improve health outcomes in humans, especially when compared to saturated fat.

Even my dad randomly started railing against seed oils once the nonsense started popping up on his youtube recommendations.

Fortunately, it's pretty easy to redpill yourself by looking at outcome data: https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-...

What other apes are obligate carnivores? What carnivores have our dental structure? And what separates "obligate carnivores with a beneficial tolerance for a tiny number of plants" from a facultative carnivore?

Right, and being sessionStorage it's cleared on browser close, and the next time I visit I will be counted as another daily unique visitor right? Trivial to work around using localStorage (or why not just a cookie) and a timer. So sure, not an id but a visited/not visited flag.

I personally would rather have the pages I visit use a self-hosted solution gather everything I do, instead of a third-party getting little data from many sites I use. If this script is used across many sites it can be checked server-side against my IP to get my usage. I can never verify what logs they keep and for how long.

That's the problem people tend to care about, not the cookies themselves.
> Most likely a third party company will provide a standardized overlay

So, we're squarely in the realm of magic and wishful thinking.

Some third party (who?) will provide some standardised way (which standards?) that governments will tweak (what? if tweaked, it's no longer standard).

> but the bulk of the important data is now stored securely on chain.

Of course not. Storing anything in bulk on-chain is prohibitively expensive. All you're proposing to store is a hash of off-chain data

> No magic involved. If you want your NFT to work say on the Chia Blockchain, then you need to conform to this standard

Why would government want a) NFT to b) work on Chia?

On top of that, you are literally saying: "You will just need to store a hash of the off-chain data on chain". What's the standard for that hash?

> I've already explained this in another comment.

You haven't

> No one is claiming blockchain is helping in that situation and that's okay! :)

No, it's not okay. You keep saying that blockchain is some solution for something, but every single case runs into "no, you don't use blockchain for that".
You're absolutely correct. I preach the carnivore diet as well, and people on Hacker News constantly spew contempt at me for doing that, but the carnivore diet really works. It is practically a panacea.
> Your sentence the particular way you worded it is not the correct mathematical model.

It wasn't really my sentence I just quoted the article. Nonetheless I disagree with you. The probability that the other boxes have the key is 2/3 and that is all that really matters. Opening a door doesn't change anything.
I sort of agree but also sorta irrelevant?

The important point is that TLS is referred to as crypto in some cases, and I believe that's what the GGP was referring to. Were I writing an expository piece, sure, I might use different language, but that's not really what my reply was about.
No, we don't. And with having enough budget and skills we try our best to shield stuff we make. As for radio noises: just remember that every freakin physical body is an antenna. Not just wires. All we can do generally is tune things in such ways that they resonte in a range we need and be as silent as possible in all other frequencies.
Yes, the point isn't just that fewer people cook at home but that people who do cook at home more frequently use non-idiodinised salt because idionised salt is the most boring and conventional option and home cooking has moved from a chore to a recreational activity. So you have people going to restaurants, which often don't use idionised salt; people eating prepared meals, which often don't contain extra iodine; and people cooking at home, who use artisinal pink Hamalayan sea salt or similar fancy salts which naturally don't contain the added iodine.

Growing up I always wondered why there was "iodinised" table salt and other salt and why we had "iodinised" salt. Only knowing that some people in my extended family couldn't have iodine and seeing that more expensive salts don't contain iodine, my impression was always that iodinised salt was somehow cheaper and worse quality. I think a lot of people feel the same way about gluten or lactose, especially when they hear about people reacting badly to it. After all if it hurts some people, it must be unhealthy, right? Nevermind that gluten is literally just wheat protein and they had no issue eating a whole plate of seitan "chicken", which is literally almost pure gluten.
Troll farm is limited number of people with limited capability.
These can be tracked down and shut down, their enployers as well.
The effects of a troll farm are relatively predictable which is why they're used. It's somewhat rare that anything really unpredictable results from small scale social engineering of this kind.
In the South-East US we've used Heat Pumps for at least 35-40+ years. Probably longer, I'm just lowering the number because I was a kid and don't know when they became the norm exactly. We don't have strong winters here so even the older heat pumps were fine with keeping houses warm. And we had/have resistive electric heating to supplement if the temp dropped too fast or too low.
Then you missed the actual refutation, which starts on page 14, "The refutation of key principles". LLMs undermine many of the principles that Chomsky's position depends on.

> So Noam's position is basically that doctors will never discover Vitamin C unless they develop chemistry.

I disagree with this analogy. LLMs and machine learning is playing with chemistry, and Noam's position is more like, "You'll never understand any chemistry unless you first figure out subatomic physics". That's just obviously false, we can understand and do quite a bit of chemistry without a full understanding of quantum field theory. At best, such knowledge impacts our understanding at the fringes of chemistry.
I’m currently on the fence about buying Little Snitch. I tried the trial for a week and interestingly there were no outboard connections I did not expect so ended up allowing basically everything. I run a limited set of applications and that hasn’t changed in a number of years.

Obviously I feel quite happy that I’ve not found I’ve been allowing connections I didn’t want to but it also makes me feel perhaps I am being a little over the top by adding Little Snitch into the mix.

I went in thinking it would catch dozens of secret connections but nothing. So part of me feels it is over kill and a time waster for myself. Anyone care to explain how wrong I am? I would be grateful to be corrected and happy to buy if I can be convinced it is indeed worth while :)
The reason its banned in OSCP is because the OSCP is in no way representative of a real world engagement.

The OSCP places a premium on hand jamming commands and doing everything manually, banning automation, because its trying to test if you understand the fundamentals.

Out in the real world, automation is encouraged. The goal is efficiency - getting the job done within the timeframe allowed by the client. Doing everything manually is horribly inefficient when you are on the clock.

It does annoy me that people take the wrong message from the OSCP, you should be automating away as much as possible so you can spend more time making novel discoveries and giving value to your customers.
