That's literally what credibility means. You may be smart and influential but if you cry wolf one too many times people are going to start to take everything you say with a grain of salt. After a hundred such incidents involving Musk that's where his reputation is going.
Until there is spyware/crapware preinstalled on Linux laptops, there's zero point in doing that. Let's not preoptimize for something that doesn't even exist (yet).
...because a contingent of people think there should be an easier way than a search engine to switch which language you're viewing a page in, even when it hasn't been marked as being the same. This prefers (but doesn't necessarily mandate) a 1:1 mapping.

While I appreciate your ability to make appeals to authority, particularly those who agree with you, those are not convincing arguments.

The conversation is about whether there is a Moral Paradox involved in eating animals while believing you are a moral person. Not about deforestation or extinction, etc. If you ask me, by the way, the problem is just flat out too many people not what they choose to eat.

Every living thing eats something. Plants? Other animals? Decayed dead animals and plants? (dirt) Something. I don't subscribe to a moral theory that makes ones own existence immoral, nor a moral theory that makes every other animal's existence immoral. So eating other previously living things is itself not fundamentally immoral.

If you want to say how we do so matters, then I don't completely disagree. There certainly exist people and groups of people who behave immorally in all sorts of ways and that includes being cruel or wasteful with all different kinds of natural resources, including animals. So these people are behaving immorally and badly. But I do believe, on my own observations, that the overwhelming majority of meat farming in the developed nations is not cruel. It sometimes isn't pretty, but it isn't cruel or immoral - it's a job and a crop. No more immoral than growing wheat just to cut it down.

When I buy 1/2 of a pig that my neighbor butchers, that I watched grow up running around in the pen next door, there's nothing wrong with that. In fact I have a lot more respect for that then people who know nothing about agriculture or animals pretending that, on the basis of some moral theory, they know better how the rest of us should behave and believe.
If you can't trust your hardware vendor not to install "backdoors" and "crapware", I have bad news for you: They also ship the firmware, which you can't avoid, and it has all of the same access that any "crapware" would. Oops.
I don't see how making and reviewing notes is that different from making and reviewing cards. The more important aspect of using a system like Anki is leveraging the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. Maybe if you already have the habit of making, organizing and reviewing notes you don't need a system on top of it like Anki?

LA metro and downtown in general is really gross. Whole place smells like p*ss. I was staying there for a concert a few months ago and I felt like I was living on skid row. I went after that super meth stuff came out though, I wonder what it was like before.

I personally didn't see anyone doing drugs but the number of homeless people was astonishing. Not just normal homeless people either, most of them looked like they were on something/acting crazy. Was really disappointed that people were living like this in the richest country on earth.

People like to crap on Chicago but the public transport is great comparatively. Still usable by the average person.

Not sure why this is on hackernews though, not really related to tech is it?
If you absolutely want client apps to check against a remote licensing source, it would make more sense to use an HTTP API for that rather than accessing a SQL Server or MySQL database directly. Requiring Entity Framework for the app is adding a lot of overhead, and corporate policies often ban publicly-exposed database servers.

(Removing the EF dependency would also let you ship a .NET Standard 2.0 version suitable for .NET Framework apps.)

I strongly recommend the book Normal Accidents. It was written in the '80s and the central argument is that some systems are so complex that even the people using them don't really understand what's happening, and serious accidents are inevitable. I wish the author were still around to opine on LLMs.

I asked ChatGPT to summarize the article as Anki cards:

What memory type is virtually limitless? Long-term memory

What's the bottleneck between working and long-term memory? Speed of transferring memories

What is a "schema" in long-term memory? A pattern of knowledge for understanding

What happens when long-term memories return to working memory? Memory evolves, updates schema

What is Anki commonly used for? Rote learning and memorization

Time daily to maintain 10,000 Anki cards? 15-20 minutes

Michael Nielsen's rules for Anki-fying? Worth 10 mins future time, striking facts

Can Anki be used for complex concepts? Yes, by breaking down concepts and building knowledge

Show HN: I want to change how people buy health supplements
I made a table where you can find out the source/location of factory for where health supplements are made. Then, I spent a year reading product labels so you can save time and money when buying supplements. This is that update.

This is still a work in progress but it functions fine.

My previous post was a simple database of company data showing ingredient sourcing/location. That took 10 days, this has taken me close to 9 months. BackOfLabel is an extension of that initial interest with dosage information at the product & ingredient level.

This update allows sorting by many more attributes at the product level (for 4000+ products at the moment) of manually scraped data.

Now, for instance you can sort by specific types of ingredient - eg. filter by magnesium glycinate , magnesium orotate or any combination. eg. find ubiquinol or ubiquinone, two forms of coenzyme q10. This is useful for consumers but also companies seeking competitor analysis.

You are able to filter products by

– Ingredient
– Filter by liquid, tablet, capsule, powder & more
– Browse by UPC Code
– Dosage Information
– No. Individual Serving
– No. Manufacturer Serving
– Total Dosage

For example You can also search by type of protein powder - eg. search for whey protein powder and find the dosage information for many products instantly.

It frustrates me and I think the way that people buy supplements is wrong. And they don't know any better because there are incentive structures that keep them in the dark. This is a small effort to combat the misleading labeling and lack of regulation in the industry.

full disclosure - i've provided a generic affiliate link in the table that means i earn a small percentage (5%) of total cart if you purchase through the link

note: browse on desktop to filter & sort

Yeah I don’t think using a database is a sensible API for this task
There are dynamic interpreted languages that use LLVM as a way to compile fast paths (the details are more complicated). For such languages how fast the heavily-optimized code is compiled matters. Julia is a great example.

In this particular case though, no it does not seem it matters, as the slowdown is related to C++ headers in the newer standard lib, not to the low-level compilation.
You can restrict someone with a license even if you can't copyright the underlying technology.
I think the release of this fluffy fluff pointless news, aimed to discredit or annoy the large proportion of science minded (aka not pseudo science or woo woos) people who firmly insist on the evidence (not musings) thus far, covid almost certainly crossed naturally from unknown source, to unknown carrier or chain of carriers and then to human -- mainly for a weathered person knows down the tract it will be -- see look, some nothingness was used to sure up this argument it crossed from animals to humans, so there.
> In the previous design I had to re-Google English version of the page. Now it's one click in the toolbar.

No, this feature had always been one click in the toolbar. Now it needs at least two clicks, and usually also a bunch of scrolling. Definitely a regression in my eyes.
Is this true? The author Charles Stross wrote "Your typical book publisher is not like the music or movie industry; they run on thin margins, and they're staffed by underpaid, overworked folk who do it because they love books, not because they're trying to make themselves rich on the back of a thousand ruthlessly exploited artists. I think their effort deserves to be rewarded appropriately." (http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2009/03/reminder...)

Interlanguage links on Wikipedia have existed since 2002. They are not a new feature.

Literally the only thing which has changed about them with this skin rollout is that they are now shown in a dropdown at the top of the page, rather than on the sidebar or at the bottom of the page.
The other high ROI activity is writing/re-writing and writing these prompts yourself will make it more effective.
Of course there's something stopping them from learning.

It's called their own lack of understanding. Take virtually any topic about anything and do a search for it on the internet. If it's even remotely controversial, there will be thousands of pages screaming at each other in opposition to each other. Meanwhile, the academics who are doing actual research are sitting over there in the quiet corner, making an attempt to cut through the bullshit.

It definitely gets easier to cut through the bullshit on your own once you've been around the block a few times, but that's as an actual adult with an actual education, not a child who doesn't know much about anything or a man-child who can be convinced to believe the truthiness of a topic.

The internet is a problem because actual knowledge is often boring. There's no controversy in many fields amongst scholars because they've either exhausted the research on a topic or there's so much data supporting the general consensus that it's not likely to budge. People don't get excited about knowing the things that everyone should know. They get excited about knowing the hot, new thing regardless of whether it's even verifiable or valid.

Your reaction here is a bit overblown. Do you often have concerns about imagined futures? If so, you might want to look into a condition called "anticipatory anxiety."
I have exactly the opposite experience with the new language button. In the old design, all of the main languages for the page were easily available in a list on the left, so there was much less clicking and scrolling required. You could also see at a glance which topics were most well-documented in which language. Now you have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to change it, and you have to waste a click just to see which languages are available in the first place.

Putting the table of contents shortcuts on the left instead of the top, on the other hand, seems pointless to me, since if I wanted to jump to a particular section, I would already know that at the top of the page, and I wouldn't need to do it after I was already halfway down. Putting languages halfway down makes more sense to me, since it's exactly halfway down where if I find some controversial text or a disappointingly slim section, that's exactly when I want to see which other languages are available and if those versions contained more details or a different point of view.

I read a lot of Wikipedia, so literally every day since the redesign I've found myself annoyed at all the extra scrolling and clicking I have been required to do while this new floating sidebar sits there providing negative value. Negative because it's both wider than the old one, and because it constantly distracts my reading as I scroll by changing the color. I do like the idea of providing a floating sidebar, and I am not opposed to putting the table of contents in there for people who want it, but removing the language navigation functionality was really a big miss for me.
If you said something like that and provided a link right there at explained why it was already known to be worse, that would’ve been understandable.

I appreciate what you did. Your article is far above a simple “I looked at five pictures and decided this one was the best“ kind of comparison that you sometimes see. You clearly tried to do a good and fair job with your contenders.

The results were interesting to see. This isn’t an area I spent time in so I really didn’t know what to expect going in other than thinking there must be something better than the venerable JPEG.

I am objecting to practice not theory.

Hedonic adjustments are argued about quite often because they let the BLS change inflation numbers almost arbitrarily. Your Google Maps example is replacing something that was very cheap with a slightly better version of it that was also very cheap it’s got negligible impact on inflation compared to big ticket items.

Here’s one issue that stuck with me: “While there are arguments that the new goods do exhibit atypical price behavior—entering at a high price and following a “U-shaped cost curve”2—this aspect of the new goods problem is an issue more for sampling than for quality adjustment procedures. Nevertheless, we will argue below that the existence of differential price trends within item categories does have implications for the way in which hedonic regression techniques are implemented.” https://www.bls.gov/pir/journal/gj17.pdf

The BLS uses improving outcomes to adjust for healthcare costs. In terms of new treatments that’s perfectly reasonable, but it undermines increased costs for basic treatments like broken bones. People may enjoy higher quality but not if they are priced out of all options.

In my opinion the interesting point is c).

Simply put, humans failed and caused a catastrophe. If you have c), a) and b) don't matter. And we will always have c).

Humans are currently failing by waging a war around nuclear power plants. How safe those plants are under normal operation doesn't really matter. Humans fail by performing terrorist attacks too. They fail by building nuclear plants that can't handle a tsunami in a tsunami-prone area.

Nuclear power provides centuries of opportunity for humans to fail in ways that have immense damage potential. This is clearly a very real risk, and makes nuclear power unsafe.

One can still argue for nuclear power, but not by saying it's safe. It simply isn't.

We find it immensely useful to program our packages (technically, "derivations"):

It's trivial to combine multiple packages into one, e.g. via the 'nixpkgs.buildEnv' function. We use this to define a package called 'tools', containing shells, linters, differs, VCS, converters, data processors, etc. Our devs only need to install one package; and if they find something useful enough to share with the team, they can add it to that 'tools' package.

This approach is also modular/compositional: we define a 'minimal-tools' package containing bash, coreutils, git, diffutils, sed, grep, archivers, compressors, etc. which is enough for most shell scripts. Our 'tools' package is defined using that 'minimal-tools' package, plus a bunch of more-interactive tools like process monitors, download managers, etc. The reason we made this modular is so each of our projects can include that 'minimal-tools' package in their development environments, alongside project-specific tooling like interpreters (NodeJS, Python, JVM, etc.), compilers, code formatters, etc. (depending on the whole 'tools' package felt like bloat, and was easy to avoid)

(Outside of work, my personal NixOS config takes this even further; defining different packages for e.g. media tools, development tools, document tools, audio tools, etc. and splitting those into separate packages for gui/cli tools. That's not particularly "useful in practice"; I just like to keep my system config organised!)

Another very common way of programming with packages is to override their definitions. For example, we override the whole of Nixpkgs to use the 'jre11_headless' JVM. This is done by the following 'overlay' function (all of the dependency-propagation happens automatically, since Nixpkgs uses laziness):

self: super: {
jre = super.adoptopenjdk-jre-hotspot-bin-11;
jre_headless = self.jdk;
jdk = super.jdk11_headless;
}

Overriding is also useful for individual packages, e.g. if we want to alter something deep down a dependency chain. It's also useful for applying patches or running a "fixup" script to the source, without having to e.g. fork a git repo.
