I love to see some info like this and want to share my experiences.

I'm a fan of small-molecule, well-tolerated, out-of-patent (cheap), widely available pharms like this in the class of "maintenance" and "enhancement" rather than "acute therapy" (although there is cross-over: i.e, have an acute headache? aspirin helps).

Some things in my list right now: acetylcysteine, aspirin, metformin

Besides aspirin, I don't take these regularly. And these days I take aspirin less and less, because I found I don't need it any more and I built up a healthy routine anyway.

In general I think eating right (lots of vegetables), good microbiome, plant medicine (for example turmeric (with milk and black pepper) black seed / nigella sativa as seeds or oil), and exercise are better than pharmaceuticals for general enhancement and maintenance of health--but there are some really good pharmaceuticals.

Everyone's body is different to some extent tho, and bodies change over time (for eg, gene expression changes over time), so what works for you might change over time.

This isn't medical advice, consult your doc, but here's other things I think a worth a shot (worked for me in the past) in limited doses:

piracetam - for building new brain cells, and increasing oxygen and decreasing blood viscosity

pentoxifylline - for de-aging your vascular system

fexofenadine - great for me for pollen allergies, and generalized severe inflammation (ie, say you had a really stressful thing)

doxycycline - good antibiotic in small dose but can have some weird side effects in some people, or if taken for long time, but strangely it also help with tissue repair.

fluorometholone - great in eye drop for itchy eyes, also instantly reduces brain inflammation / headache, and chills you out--for me at least--after dropping a couple drops in each eye--but use sparingly as it's a strong corticosteroid so you don't want to dampen the immune system in your sinuses etc as that will lead to infection!

In general I have the view that all pharams and most plant medicines are "toxins" (on some level, at some dose obviously, but in general too) in the sense that there's very few things which are just uniformly healthy in the class of drugs--yet nevertheless there are some wonder drugs like these that I think can be really enhancing to health if used right.

After a couple years taking aspirin at low dose regularly, I started noticing I no longer needed it. That coincided with me adopting a regular meditation/energy work/ some yoga practice.

Currently on my to-try list is: ashwagandha

Please exercise caution in your exploring -- some of what works for me might even be dangerous for you--everyone is different!! :) ;p xx ;p
I was wondering how long until people willingly install GPT4 RCE on their machines.
Wow, that there's a video on haversine is uniquely interesting to me. We used that to compute "all points within a circle", which is basically a loop over your candidate points, compute the distance from the circle's center, and then discard those too far away. (The candidates are generated by some conservative approximation, such as by geohashes or R-trees. And there's all sorts of room in that first approximation for optimizing too.)

There's all sorts of room for optimization. Those familiar with 3D programming probably know the "use distance², not distance" to avoid needing to sqrt(), and similar tricks apply (you don't need to work in miles: e.g., you can convert the target distance to arc distance, and use that, which is what haversine speaks natively). We were also trying to get Go to inline some of the wrapper calls (so that we could work in more sane units, like lat/lng, and have a wrapper convert to, IIRC, radians) … but alas, Go only inline leaf functions, and the trig calls haversine requires basically meant we were never a leaf.

Also hit the uniquely human problem of: if you compute the query, you can spend infinitely long doing it: the right circle is fine if centered over Wyoming, but quite a problem if centered between NYC & Philly. (So as to overlay both.) If you don't detect the case, you'll time out, and users are unhappy. If you detect it and abort, users don't get data … and are unhappy. There's no way to win.

… then the "higher level" stuff knocks you down three pegs for trying to eek a few milliseconds out of haversine when you find out the protobuf library encodes the response slower than JSON, despite being binary. (But protobuf was written in Python, vs. the JSON library is in C. There's a C protobuf lib … but its own unittest segfaulted at the time. I hope it has been since fixed, but ugh.)

Also looked at our point type in Python. As you can imagine we alloc'd a few million of those, and the simple definition in Python of,

class Point:
__slots__ = ('x', 'y')

def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self y = y

contains three heap allocations, and not small ones either, for what can be done for 16 B on the stack in some languages.

(And then we'd done some rather dumb things … which I see repeated a lot, not just at this job, like SQL databases with an ENUM column declared as VARCHAR, and the same string repeated forever and ever through the DB. All you needed was a SMALLINT, an ENUM if its supported…

And so much CSV.)
Sounds like a PDB isn’t a resource budget then. We were using that concept in ESX farms 20 years ago but it seems PDBs are more what more SREs would describe as minimum availability.
How thick are your tires? Initiating the turn requires just the tiniest bit of countersteer on very thin tires, in my unstudied experience. I did the same experiment as you and found it was so subtle as to be basically unnoticeable.
I think the previous commenter was implying that one may be worse than the other and trying to get you to reevaluate the idea that you see banning tiktok to be the same as banning US social media because of the differences between the Chinese government and the US government.

i don't think that, lovely though she is, i wan't cara to pop up in my glasses (which, because of bad eyesight, i wear all the time) and no, i do not think we have the technology, particularly batteries.

i will admit that if i could ask my glasses "where is the nearest atm?" and it then popped up an arrow pointing at it, i might pay for that. but that means stuffing a lot of hardware into the frames - about the equivalent of a high-end smartphone.
I would have thought they are ranked number 1 because they are lenient about KYC/AML.
Microsoft doesn't appear to care anymore.
I think the threat of LLMs (Large Language Models) is way overblown. They may even be helpful for beginners.

For young people learning to code and studying how computers work are the best skills to learn.
Microsoft used to be able to create really great desktop software. I thought Windows 98, XP, and 7 were incredibly slick and well done. Old versions of Office ran well on CPUs slower than those found in modern toasters.

I too am curious of what sort of... dynamics are going on internally. I blame Agile/Scrum lol.
Sorry, I imagine you posted this before my edit. I don't think this marketing video contradicts my point at all. For Microsoft to commit a large amount of dev time to rewriting Teams and improving its performance, there must have been an actual business reason. That's not something you do because some nerds on HN think your app is too slow.

Presumably, Teams was so unbelievably slow that it crossed over to being an actual problem for customers and not just a mild nuisance. So Microsoft improved performance just enough to stop affecting sales. Is the performance _good_? No, it's still comically slow. But there's simply no incentive to improve the performance further.
That's not dystopian, that's already happened and is happening
That's almost as funny as hyper-targeting individual voters in swing states with propaganda based on campaign polling data you got directly from the campaign.
> And by doing that I was eventually able to figure out why I couldn't even get off the ground.

is the rest of that, right?

200A?! Must be a single-phase thing.

Over here we have 3x25A (17kW) or 3x35A (24kW). You can easily charge a car at 7kW speeds without blowing a breaker. With a fancier load-balancing charger you can get all the way to 22kW, but very few cars can charge that fast from AC, most cap around 11kW.
They're likely talking about Rocket which is higher level than Axum or Actix Web, but it's recommended not to use it as it's not as actively maintained, as well as some other issues. For a Rails-like experience, Nails [0] is one I've seen, although I don't know the status of it as no one seems to talk about it as much as Axum and Actix Web.

Hello HN community,

I wanted to share with you a Python library that I recently created called PyCryptoBox. PyCryptoBox is an open-source encryption and decryption library that is designed to be secure, easy-to-use, and highly customizable.

PyCryptoBox is built on top of the popular cryptography library and offers a simple API that allows developers to easily implement various encryption and decryption schemes in their Python projects. The library supports symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, and digital signatures, among other features.

I created PyCryptoBox because I believe that security should be accessible to everyone, and I wanted to offer a tool that makes it easy for developers to implement encryption in their projects without compromising on security.

You can find PyCryptoBox on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/pycryptobox/ and on Github at https://github.com/LpCodes/pycryptobox.

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on PyCryptoBox. Feel free to ask any questions or share your thoughts in the comments below.

Thank you for your time and attention.

You seem to be speaking to your personal experience of transitioning to an EV, whereas the article is concerned with the scale of changes needed to transition the entire automotive industry to EVs in the 15 year timeframe that policymakers are targetting.

The hype is immense and so the disillusion will be. Just let the LLM train go and we’ll see. Thanks to that, perhaps the next time people will stop and think more deeply about the real issues. Nobody will stop now but huge investment + economic recession is a good recipe for bubble.

What is thinking if not a series of matrix operations? Your brain is just a huge network of neurons and their connections, is this not a (very complex) matrix?
The similarities between DS9 and B5 are not accidental. The creator of B5 pitched it to Paramount first as a trek series. They rejected the pitch, but did use some elements for DS9.
I guess, although:

> most people on Twitter aren't writing Tweets

I don't know how true this is. Most people in my corner of twitter tweet several times a day, some of them have rapid-fire conversations in the replies. And that cache-busts (or at least appends to) a whole lot of people's feeds, just like it would people's chat history (while in both cases, almost all writes are appends)

But idk, I'll stop speculating here because I'm not basing it on much

I guess theres always a caveat, but fevers can get too high and go for too long, in which case reducing the fever might be a good idea. But if it gets to that point, you should be working with a doctor to make those decisions.
All of the autocorrects from “medication” to “meditation” are really freaking annoying. I hope the intent is clear. I value my medicine. Meditation is great too, but definitely was not intentionally part of my point.
I have a friend who has suffered from something known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis since he was still a teenager, and he doesn't function very well without pretty decent doses of CBD for the past long while I've known him. I recognize legality issues are prohibitive in many parts of the world but if this is an option to you I would suggest trying this or anything else that takes the actual inflammation down instead of dulling the pain. The other thing a friend of mine practicing general medicine who was working in a country where CBD wasn't legal yet used very large doses of carefully sourced curcumin - it's not something you want to eat tons of from the grocery store in many places as apparently there's a ton of contamination in the supply [1] but it's actually really easy to just grow tumeric and make sure you're getting it from a decent source in much of the world

One thing may be about it, much like oregano, is that it might just naturally be a nice absorbent of heavy metals in the soil but the fact that people add stuff like lead or cadmium in there to improve color or weight is just terrifying. We need raman spectroscopes in every phone already.

How many decades? Because mid-range and up euros routinely did that multiple times over in the 80s. So you’re either thinking 50+, or you’re thinking reliability issues on early direct injection.

This really is the kicker. CPUs over the past 20 years have gone from 2.4GHz to 5.6GHz clock speeds + bigger cache size and more cores. For most common tasks you're not going to see much difference between a 2-core and an 8-core CPU.

There just isn't much need for CPU advancements in today's average workloads (browsing, word processing, spreadsheets). Any further advancements (such as AI) will happen in the GPU (or whatever they're going to call the accelerator cards now that they're multi-purpose), while the CPU fight switches over to energy efficiency.
That makes no sense. First, people have no trouble exiting. Second, why would you swap BNB to exit? Just exit with BTC, ETH, USDT/USDC, etc.

The only game I’ve played on VR that is worth standing for two hours is Population One, and then only when you have a good squad that will talk and strategize.

The problem with SEPA is that is does not work at night or over the weekend and even during normal business hours it might take a day for the money to arrive (depending on some specifics of the banks involved).

good then you don't use it. I personally would find talking to say Richard Feynman seating in my living room way more engaging for learning physics than some boring prof in a huge lecture hall.
Easily solved by introducing Teams Lite and Teams Professional. Maybe Teams Lite Plus and Teams Professional Lite. Eventually everyone can get exactly what they need.

Wow - this looks awesome! Love the video2video.
To anyone who believes this: I strongly urge you to start tracking all your vehicle expenses. I've been doing this for over 15 years, and when I compare my reality with estimates/calculators online, the latter significantly overestimates the cost of repairs/maintenance.

As a concrete example, the last time I used the official government calculator to compare ICE vs a comparable sized EV (e.g. size of Honda Accord), it gave the breakeven point at 7 years, with the following assumptions:

1. Gas at $7/gal (you pick the price and the chart adjusts accordingly - if I picked a more reasonable price the breakeven point was way far out).

2. It estimated repairs/maintenance for ICE at over $2000/year starting from year 1.

Bullet 2 above is ridiculous. I have all my car related transactions. In over 20 years of owning cars, I never came close to $2000/year. Note that:

1. I buy old cars (typically 8 years old when I buy them) - so they need more repairs than the one that's 1-3 years old.

2. I'm not a car person. I do whatever my mechanic recommends. I follow the maintenance schedule in the manual. I'm not cheaping out on repairs.

Similarly, the Edmunds TCO calculator also spits out some insanely high repair numbers.

When you track the expenses like I do, it becomes hard to believe that the up front extra cost for an EV will ever be compensated by gasoline and repair costs.

EVs are, frankly, really expensive right now.

(I will note that when I buy cars, I do thorough research on "reliability", with the aim of minimizing repairs).

Lol, not quite that jank yet. Maybe in another few years.
Appropriate user name. I agree with part of this approach, but trains suck for two reasons. Getting to the station, and sharing a carriage.

Why not have an EV that can run as a train? Drive to station, control goes to “highway management system” chill for journey?
But there is no way to know the timeframe. That is one of the things I don’t understand about shorting.

You're not going to be able to assess the outputs of the LLMs if you can't program on your own. LLMs are definitely going to make us all more productive and maybe a bit cheaper in aggregate (supply and demand and all) but even assuming the current wildly impressive improvement curve keeps up it seems unlikely that programming will stop being required. It'll just change.
The engine on my car is 20 years old, and still pretty fine. Will an EV battery last as long (say 160K miles)?

Not trying to be adversarial - genuinely curious. I only buy old cars (median is 8 years old), and I keep them for a while (5-10 years), and I often wonder whether EV cars that old would be a decent buy or not.
Some recent research points to Tylenol affecting emotions and making people feel less empathy:

your username says it all. ugh is what I always think when someone complains about roadtrips.

I personally do not have kids, but I love roadtripping my Tesla. With my ICE car, I used to drive as fast as possible, as long as possible thinking that's the way, but I'd also end up so burnt out after 8 or 9 hours of driving.

I'm going to make a 12 hour drive this weekend, it'll end up being around 13 hours with a Tesla, but my Fiancé and I are making a list cool things we'll do when we make the stops, and we'll actually enjoy making the trip over the 13 hours. Each stop will be around 15-20mins every 3 hours which is perfect for getting a stretch, snacking, or going to the washroom.

I'll also have the newest updated FSD11 for the highway which has been a large improvement over the previous autopilot on highways - the biggest for me is that it now bias's over to the left (or right), if I'm passing a large semi (or if the semi is passing me)
The interesting thing about this is not the case itself, but that we're starting to see novel benefits from having open, modular laptop hardware.

What you're looking for is basically the Prius Prime. Sure it's not fully electric, but it gets 40 mile electric range (which for a lot of people is enough for the day to day), gets legit 70 mpg at 40-55 mph, and around 50mpg at 70mph. No fancy tech, but it drives.
