I’m pretty sure a mass spectrometer will actually do what we want here, we don’t need a magic wand.

Drug dealers leaving solvents in because this suggestion makes no distinction between different cutting compounds? I propose that we do draw a distinction, then.

Drug users trying to hand us a baggie of their shit and call it heroin? I propose that, uh, we say no?

I think it's probably better to just upvote well-written or well-argued comments whether you agree with the author's point of view or not. Makes for a more interesting place where people occasionally change their minds.

I was going to say that the HN guidelines advise doing this, but I cannot actually find anything about what an upvote 'means' on HN. Plenty about what makes a good submission, or a good comment, but nothing on voting. Maybe they just gave up on trying to do that!

The above notwithstanding, I would like to see something like your proposal implemented, just to see how it works out empirically.
This feels more like an attack on the crowd that posts on /r/atheism on reddit than the scientific community. But that sub attracts a lot of "edgy" teens who are just rejecting the way they were raised, they are indeed a "soft" target.

Everyone has a different taste, but I do concur with you. Your grandma and my grandma kept to the traditional manual methods and that tastes best. The chilli peppers cultivated in Korea have a different sweeter taste IMO and the cheaper ones imported from China (while cheaper) do not hold up in terms of the sweetness and balanced spice. The earthenware pot also act as a refrigerant by being buried in the ground. Since the pot is placed below the frostline, kimchi is available through winter.

Nope - sexual selection still takes place regardless of environmental survival factors.

And sexual selection takes place faster and can lead populations to scenarios that induce natural selection.
Last year I upgraded from a early 2013 15" MBP to the 16" Max and it's like a whole new world. Way more storage and memory. I can imagine going from the same machine to the M2 would be amazing but from M1 to M2 not enough of a bump to pay the price.
According to an Apple support page[0],

> With Apple Watch Series 3 or later with watchOS 8, you can measure and track your Respiratory Rate.2 With Track Sleep with Apple Watch turned on, when you wear your Apple Watch to bed, it will automatically measure and record the number of times you breathe in a minute.

I assume that this information is enough to warrant "go see a sleep specialist", but possibly not much more than that. There is at least one watchOS app that claims to use the Apple Watch data to detect sleep apnea[1], though it may not be a completely reliable source[2].

With Apple's increasing focus on the health for the Apple Watch, I would not be surprised if future watchOS updates (or future Watch hardware) focus on sleep apnea detection as a flagship feature.

If you use Azure OpenAI's services, I would guess you would fall into contractual agreements with Microsoft which should cover these concerns just like when you are using MS SQL Server to store trade secrets or PII.
yeah, those "round up" donations are not going to qualify for much of a deduction, but the company collecting the round up from all of the donations will add up. if an individual wants to donate up to $0.99 (assuming rounding to whole dollar not nearest $5 or something) it's just chump change on an individual level. not really sure why you're so upset about this
> ...one of them, uranium-241, had never been observed before and that it marks the first time since 1979 that a neutron-rich uranium isotope has been discovered. The researchers also calculated that uranium-241 likely has a half-life of just 40 minutes.

So - If the "hard" SF novel you're writing needs some sort of Unobtainium for its big hand-wave...this discovery probably doesn't fit the bill.
I’m going through this right now and it feels like everything Americans have complained about socialized healthcare is now true in the US as well: long wait times to see providers, providers that churn through patients like their doing oil changes, providers that just push you along to the next step in a playbook without considering individual needs.

I’ve been dealing with fatigue for about two years and had to preempt a yearly physical to be able to talk to my GP about it in December. That gave me the referral I needed to get a sleep study, which identified moderate apnea. It’s the middle of April and I would have just been getting a provider prescribed auto PAP had it not been for a friend who had an unused one.

Like the author, CPAP is doing nothing for me, so next month the specialist will probably recommend another sleep study, followed by several more months of waiting for appointments and DME providers.

Meanwhile, my wife found that one of the medicines I had been taking had recent studies indicating effects on sleep. I went from 10-20mins of REM a night to 2-2.5 hours by cutting it out prior to any PAP therapy. It should have been done under Dr. supervision, but I can’t ever see my Dr., so I said screw it, found a typical tapering protocol and did it myself.

For shorter term things - sick visits, etc., it is impossible for my wife or me to see anyone at the network of our GP (one of the largest in the state) and have to go to urgent care. The last time my wife wanted an appointment she asked if she could go to another location to get in sooner. They denied the request because of continuity of care. So she went to a minute clinic that is completely unrelated to the network - how does that provide continuity?

Show HN: Chatbase – Custom ChatGPT for your website
Chatbase lets you build a ChatGPT-like chatbot from your data then embed it on your website as an iframe of a chat bubble!

Chatbase also allows you to give your chatbot a name, a personality, and any set of instructions you want (eg. answer in bullet points, answer in French...) by editing the base prompt (system message for the OpenAI developers).

This allows you to build a persona for your company/website that your users can interact with get answers from!

Let me know what you think!
There's a tricky linguistic zone where languages are similar enough to modern times that everyone feels like they don't need a "translator", where words may even have similar denotations to today (though there are shifts in those too sometimes), but often have very different connotations. People reading text with modern denotations and connotations for the same word are worse off than if they're presented with a truly foreign text, where they realize they need a translation to do anything.

1518 I'd put on the far side of that zone. If you tried to read a lot of text from that era you'd rapidly realize it's not the same language, as anyone who has been asked to read a parallel-passage Canterbury Tales in school (from even earlier, but 16th century has similar problems) or read Shakespeare, the more original the better, you understand what I'm saying.

But individual phrases from the 16th century can still suffer this effect quite easily.

A very well-known example of the sorts of shifts I'm talking about is the 20th century shift of the word "gay" in the United States. However, that is merely a particularly extreme and well-known example. The entire language is constantly shifting like that. Another one that Terry Pratchett pointed out in one of his Discworld books is we have a quite substantial set of adjectives that have shifted over the years; "awesome" wasn't just "pretty cool", it meant specifically inspiring awe, so "awesome skateboard" is probably not accurate by the original definition, "incredible" wasn't just "pretty cool" but literally meant unbelievable, etc. In fact we've lost rather a lot of specific adjectives to becoming barely shaded variants on "pretty cool"....

Probably the largest impediment to reading older English is the belief that you know what you're reading means, when you in fact may not. If you are ever confused about something you read, consider that you may in fact be reading something a bit slanted relative to what you think you're reading. This also applies, but differently, to ancient non-English texts. Especially in philosophy, there are certain traditional translations of certain old terms that are still generally used today, but the English translation itself has shifted in the intervening centuries... words that may seem as simple as "essence" or "substance" don't remotely mean what you probably think they mean. We'd almost be better off with a transliteration of the original words and allowing readers to form their own understanding of the concepts without 21st century misunderstanding of 17th century English translations getting in the way.

Dunno if there's an official linguistic term for this but if anyone's got it I'd be interested in hearing it.
> As much as I love retro stuff I see no point in reviving Palm.

I see a big opportunity should rePalm be ported to generic low cost embedded hardware. ESP32(|ARM|Risc-V) board+LCD+LTE module, all costing a dozen bucks each or less, would make the basis for a powerful dumbphone for when manufacturers will cease any production of them. I would personally love to have such a device.

Broadly speaking, PalmOS had filesystems, networking, graphics and interface controls, sound, hardware access and more. Who cares if I can't watch high resolution movies or play AAA games with it, the goal should rather be to use it to do things where Linux is not only overkill but also would require hardware that cost a lot more.
Forget about phones and PDAs, if I want to build an I/O panel with buttons and display for some instrument, a light OS like this one could help to lower costs by doing it on much cheaper hardware.
Great, that was obviously coming! Stable diffusion with controlnet was already so good, with segment anything we start to really have a fantastic experience! Really cool, I will definitely play with this during the week, thanks for sharing
> TSMC gets no credit now for having caught up?

Bloomberg's reporting on it from an earnings/business perspective - while it's great for the world in general that the chip shortage seems to have subsided a bit, it would be better for TSMC if demand continued to exceed their production (particularly since they're not vulnerable to competition taking their market share, at least in the short term).
Is Duolingo basically spaced repetition for language learning?
You should look up in the dictionary and wikipedia what the word "infinitely" means, and learn about math. It's a fascinating field of study. And stop making assumptions that most people are as mathematically illiterate and prone to throwing temper tantrums when your unrealistic expectations are not met as you are.
HAH, that's a great way to put it.

I would start by asking "What is my purpose in seeking to make a switch?"

Knowing your 'why' will help you know for sure if you are able to make the commitment required to make a switch. In general it will take a non-trivial amount of effort to make the change.

If you are confident that you genuinely want to move to the new field then it is all about learning and growing the skills required.

Get 1% better every day in that field and within a reasonable amount of time you'll have the proficiency to at least get entry level position.

Best of luck to anyone on this path!

Ideally, you'd embed the graph into 2 or 3d first, then visualize it as a scatterplot.

Visualizing the edges at scale doesnt yield nice results in general. It's simply too noisy.

The way to do it is to reduce the graph to some 300d or 500d embeddings, then use TSNE/UMAP/PACMAP to reduce that to 3d. Then visualize.

My prefered way is to use some first order embedding method like GGVec in this library [1] (disclaimer I wrote it). Node2Vec and ProNE don't yield great embeddings for visualization (the first is too filamented, the second too close to the unit ball).

Another great library to do this work is GRAPE [2]. Try first-order embedding methods, or short walks on second order methods to avoid the embeddings being too filamented by long random walk sampling.

I have trained and fine-tuned many LLMs for a bunch of personal projects, and I found that the easiest way to get started with on an experimental level is with pre-configured GPUs and jupyter notebooks.

I’ve always hosted and managed an assortment of kernel servers and jupyterhub workspaces personally, so I've just opened it up so any user can start using them at https://lab.amdatascience.com

You'll get some storage and a free 16gb VRAM GPU (NVIDIA T4).

I'm also curious as to everyone's take on training their own closed-loop LLMs after cycling through initial use cases with ChatGPT?

OpenAI's LLMs have been ridiculously cool to use, but many open source LLMs have enough parameters for zero-shot learning and text generation on a level that's just as useful as ChatGPT's outputs
This is interesting to me. Do you make many permutations and use those as cards?

Keep tests and code separate, and use tdd: https://github.com/yellowdragonlabs/TDD

Desire for sex is a horribly hollow foundation for a relationship.

To onboard the tremendous time, attention, work, and emotional stability that a good relationship demands, or that a bad relationship totally incinerates to nobody's benefit, while coming from a place of "I wanna get my dick wet" or "my sadness would be fixed if only I conjoined my life with another human being" sounds disastrous.

For WatchOS, you would start by running the Sleep App[0] and notice that there is an issue with your sleep stages.

Next you might move onto an app, like SnoreLab[1] where you record the audio of your sleep each night and can listen back to where you are having sleep interruptions. At that point, you would likely hear your breathing process.

Moving onto the Withings Sleep Analyzer[3] (as shown in the article) will fill out your data but by step 2, you will should probably already be setting up an appointment with your doctor for sleep apnea.

Them not pushing Safari to increase App Store revenue makes no sense if you just give it one second of thought.

80%+ of App Store revenue comes from games an in app purchases in games according to the Epic trial. Those wouldn’t be web apps anyway.

Also if it were just Safari and iOS that’s keeping web apps from becoming popular, then why are companies creating web apps, iOS apps and Android apps instead of telling Android users to just use the web app?

Finally, outside of games, most revenue that flows through apps are either based on advertising or payments for subscriptions outside of the App Store. Many streaming services for instance have stopped allowing in app purchases ages ago.
That's a fairly inappropriate comparison in level of expertise necessary to design a system: LVL beams are picked by structural engineers, not by framers who generally install them where they're needed, based on a structural design which they have no say in because load calculations aren't a framer's job.

HVAC installers are not merely system assembly specialists, they're system design specialists as well in nearly all cases. Or at the very least they outsource HVAC system design to experts who are familiar with required air flow, static pressure, air changes, condensation formation and evacuation, and yes of course whether the system is appropriate for cold climates (cold climate heat pumps are notably different from temperate or hot climate ones: coils are larger to capture more heat from the air outside temperatures are very low); they have different refrigerant systems; and way more insulation to prevent the cold affecting operation; some even incorporate resistive heating elements... or a gas furnace in cases where their efficiency would drop below an acceptable threshold.

One of the biggest and most important part of an HVAC system design is sizing for climate and dwelling. It should be extremely suspicious to any installer that their design system efficiency would be so much higher than the real world system performs.

I'd be shocked if professional HVAC installers couldn't spit out several reasons why the system might be performing so poorly just by reading this blog post. Notably the absurd assertion that the installers were professionals despite wildly overpromising and underdelivering. Some contractors acting professionally doesn't make them professionals.

As others point out in this thread, implementing a system that meets the stated design goals roughly on target is what a professional does. I've seen some absurd lambasting of PV solar installs as an example of empty promises. Again, those are tell-tale signs of deficiencies, not an indictment of the underlying technology.

Which is the most irresponsible part of this senator's post. Given your post and prominence, the least you could do before publishing something like this is check your basic assumptions: that the installer did a fine job.
>> There is very clearly emergent behavior going on, and while neuroscientists have yielded this point for decades about the brain (any brain, even tadpoles), the AI guys still are stubbornly holding on to "we know exactly how the system works, because we know how the individual bits work".

That's because the "AI guys" are working with computers, and not with tadpoles, or even neurons. And certainly not brains.
When I instruct people to solder, I emphasize that heat transfer improves when you press very firmly with the soldering iron tip.

Too bad most PCB holders are flimsy. I recommend a solid metal vise instead of those contraptions.
That only works if you know the values at compile-time though:

constexpr int foo(int x) {
return 1024*1024*1024*x;
}

int main()
{
int y;
std::cin >> y;
static_assert(foo(1)); //all good
foo(y); //oops, UB if user enters 7
}

In my mind what sucks about SAAS is the organizations, not the idea of paying a little money every month. Specifically the executives, managers, and product people who steer the decision making inside SAAS companies. They make the product suck as time goes on. Poor or non-existent customer service for paying customers, feature bloat, greed, it's just a very predictable course where these products get worse over time while the people responsible fail upward

REI, because when a member discovers that their purchase is not actually durable, REI has a solid return promise. For members, returns are allowed for 1 year for any reason and lifetime for product defects. I’ve had items wear out after 6 months (and others last 20 years…) and they’ve always been great about it.

REI’s onetime $30 membership fee is worthwhile on its own. However, since it’s a member-owned co-op, you also receive 5% of your purchases as a rebate (https://www.rei.com/membership). REI is usually competitive for pricing - not the cheapest, not the most expensive.

However, even if that 5% was explicitly added to the price, I’d pay it. For those of us who think in terms of value for the money, paying 5% more to ensure that I’m going to be satisfied (with the whole product, not just durability) is an amazing value.
Weird, I swapped off the platform when they removed it around 2016. They must have reintroduced it?

I don't have anything to add to the topic, but I wanted to ask you about your usage of this character: ℅

Obviously, you meant to use the percent sign (%), but instead have used the "care of" sign (℅). This is the second time in a month I've seen this error, and I'm curious how it can occur.

I did just notice that it's possible to type it on an Android keyboard by long pressing the percent sign. That seems challenging to do by accident. I'm curious if there's another way to easily type it by accident.
