The market for those « alternatives » can be seen as a helper to change habits but not as a nutrition target. I’m an absolute sausage addict and some vegetal ersatz helps me when I crave for a barbecue, meanwhile taking new recipes habits that are nutritious enough for usual meals.
CEO received compensation for good cost-cutting measures? What am I missing here?
Yep, Harsh reality living in Ireland is the Housing crisis. Unless you are not earning a big fat salary, you won't be able to affort the current rent rates.

So your renting experience goes like this:

- Desperately try to find somewhere to live paying X amount on rent for 2-3 years.

- Landlord gives you 6 months notice because they want to sell the house.

- You try to find a new house to live. The availability is smaller each time, plus they take 800 euro more to rent with the same amount of rooms. Plus you have to move to a commuting area since the available properties in your area are non-existant or they take 150% of your salary.

- Rinse and repeat every 2-3 years until you pay 100%+ of your salary in rent or just leave cursing.

B12 is the most important one. I've started getting some strange "tingling" in my arms a while ago, went to the neurologist, got a prescription for a higher dosage B12 and it went away. I was supplementing B12 already, but it wasn't regular.

Some other supplements:

- D3 (complemented with a "SAD Lamp" [0] in winter, can recommend)

- Omega 3-6-9

- Magnesium + B6 (helps reduce cramps during/after heavy training sessions)

- Vitamin C + Zinc when feeling that my immune system needs a boost (after traveling/flights)

Ask HN: Browser Hopping: Struggling to Choose the Best One
I find myself frequently switching between different browsers, unable to decide which one truly stands out as the best option. Here are my thoughts on some popular choices:

Arc Browser: I appreciate the ease of switching between profiles and workspaces, but the overall performance feels somewhat sluggish.

Microsoft Edge: The clean UI and new Bing chat integration are appealing, but I don't appreciate the promotion of Microsoft's alternatives whenever I visit a Google app.

Google Chrome: Although its speed and smoothness are impressive, the lack of significant UX updates has left it feeling a bit stale, especially compared to the innovations seen in browsers like Arc.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Which browser do you prefer, and why?
No point in using kph for speed if all of the signs are in mph.
No point in learning C for air temperature if the forecasts are in F.
No point in using metric volume measurements if it doesn't match the measurements on your cooking tools.
No point in using metric height and weight at the doctor if the form requests inches and pounds.

And so on. You just don't have a choice unless the government makes the switch mandatory. So you use it as it comes up: Metric for medicine, for example, but not to figure out your clothing for the day.
For me, the best value prop from Hetzner are their managed servers.
I believe this is an issue of scale: humans need to operate at a smaller scale for fairness to exist at all. We do not have any evolutionary preparation for operating collectively at global scale. Our small minds try to take advantage of our situation when in positions of power, while being incapable of realizing the mass unfairness that behavior actualizes.

This is an issue with human nature itself. We have to change our innate nature, and we all know... that is not going to happen.
I trust they are too smart to fall into such an obvious pitfall.
One thing I noticed recently is that these vegan alternatives are actually cheaper than quality meat options.

Even branded, imported, US grown alternative burgers are cheaper in the super market than a proper organic meat burger from the area.
Then the parrots could make a better UI than that website
You mean because in future it will be impossible to obtain a large high quality dataset due to AI contamination? Worst case you pre-train a model on pre 2022 data and finetune on a small, curated dataset of recent events.

And there are some important breakthroughs that have happened since GPT-4 started training, so it will almost certainly be possible to make a significantly better model with the same dataset and inference cost.
The article mentions VB6 but I would think Microsoft Access would be the much more widely used platform
I am curious what milestone contracts SpaceX may have had sitting around waiting for a Starship flight to pay out actually.

If this was a sales pitch "the rocket destroyed the launchpad, and got damaged in the process - once we fix that it'll work" is a much better pitch then "we need another 2 years minimum of permitting in order to build the flame diverter to launch it" (though I'm content to put this one on Musk: once Starship started being delayed, building the flame diverter should've just been a time cost they ate immediately).

The stupider takes on this are the people doing the "this is so incompetent! This company can't be trusted" spiel as though the Falcon 9 hasn't been quietly throwing things into orbit and landing this entire time.
the poor people in Europe will be screwed, as usual, if these fake meat companies continue to push their agenda… just look at the electric car crap.
Speaking from Germany, the perceived price offset between vegan options it’s more or less 10-15%.

I would not state that is a cult ‘cause there’s a lot of people with genuine good intentions; but I would not believe 100% in all vegan options since the traceability regulations are not clear and those certification bodies lacks certain transparency regarding of its criterias versus government regulations.

Semiconductor industry has the deepest and most complex value chain in the economy.

TSMC has always been pure fab company and it pays off now. Samsung and Intel are also in chip design business and do other things. They are less focused. TSMC's lead is not guaranteed. Any new technology node can fail and remove them from competition if they make wrong choices.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that designing a new technology node for mass production is like a moon program. TSMC designs new node every few years, builds a fabs that cost 20+ billion. ASML machines are the most expensive tooling there but they are just part of the whole.

Intel and Samsung are almost as good, but small differences have huge impact in the final result and timing. Small percentages in final yield can make a difference.
The problem is that some people are categorically denying the leaks for decades until eventually admitting that "yes of course it leaks but only a little"

And later "yep, it leaks routinely but it does not matter because tritium is safe"

And then "of course we knew from the start that is not totally, totally safe for environment, but fuck nature"

Ending with "as long as we can keep the stream of smoke curtains and cheap excuses so can't be linked with us is not a problem". Hey, maybe is not a real french!

This creates a big lack of credibility problem.
Surely some guy in his basement will have access to far worse models than the people he is trying to attack. If the AI can be used for offense it can be used for defence, especially since when used for defence you can give the AI access to code/design docs which make finding exploits much easier.
That would be editorial.

But it needs more than that, GPT isn't very good a summarisation. None of these summaries are useful, and there is nothing stopping someone filling it with bias.
Most likely they would just run the prompt again with some tweaks. You could ask "generate me 50 slogans for xyz" all day long. Do that with a human and they'd get fed up quickly.
IMO it's a lost market. An actual vegan, or generally someone that cares about their diet and products they use deeply, doesn't need any food innovations. What we/they need is access to affordable quality products to make our own meals with.

There is no real market here except you are a innovative farmer.
> no corporate personhood would mean that very few people would stick out their necks to start or invest in companies.

As a follow up question, do you think that would be profitable?
Got a cookie banner with the only option being "Accept", that covered most of the screen on mobile. Figured I'd actually follow the link to the "Privacy Statement", to learn what sort of dark pattern is used and how I could actually consume the content without opting in to the tracking. Once I got there, however, I got an even bigger banner that also had accepting whatever they want me to as the only option, to the point where I can't even read their statement.

Commenting this because I've never actually had that happen before - accepting something being the only way to actually figure out what it is that I'm accepting. If it wasn't deliberate, it'd be quite the ridiculous UX failure. I actually recall some sites just telling me that users in EU aren't allowed to access their content, which somehow felt better because they were honest about it.

Might need to look for a plugin for mobile Firefox to automatically set the correct preferences.

CEO made bad decisions that many other companies avoided. CEO panicked and fired thousands unprofessionally. CEO received record compensation.
Milk was heavily subsidized and the prices were pushed to a point where all but the largest scale producers were making losses (~30 cents per liter) where I live whereas the price of plant based milk used to have a huge novely / vegan markup that wasn't based in production cost. The cost of plant based milk is not exactly much less than dairy now, but it is actually cheaper if you go by discount brand prices.

That so many people don't mind switching with so little monetary incentive is great, that's a lot of animal harm prevented.
... wow.

It's the ultimate mark of a privileged life and conspicuous consumption to casually throw away that which so many spend their entire lives trying to attain, just for some trivial reason - and then brag about it to everyone.

That's a terrific use case. I love seeing technology enabling people to do things they weren't able to do before.

Is this a serious question? Pichai will not experience hardship in any circumstance. His access to a roof, food, healthcare, quality of life, etc. are not in danger, now or in the future. The worst possible outcome for him still leaves many more zeroes in his personal finances than the vast majority of employees will ever see at any point in their life.
As if typical HN comments were any better than typical reddit comments...
Reputational risk does affect the supply of viable CEO candidates (here we are deriding Pichai for perceived Google failures), but it’s far from the only factor. The main reason CEO total comp is so high in big companies is to align the CEO with the interests of shareholders. Something the layoffs with likely also aligned with.

What is a node in this context and what does designing a new node entail? Does this design process mean TSMC can do something with ASML machines that another company with the same machine couldn't do?
Yeah, the whole idea of keeping birds seems painfully sad to me - taking creatures that have this amazing power of natural flight, with agency to explore vast landscapes and see amazing things, and then keeping them inside (and/or sometimes with clipped wings).

And added to that how difficult it can be for long-lived birds when their caretakers die and they can be left with somebody who doesn't really like them (or whom they don't really like), or donated to a zoo... a family friend's parrot was given to a (very good) butterfly house when she died and he just seems so sad every time I see him now

Maybe I'm just being narrow-minded, and the exact same thing is true for dogs & cats
Is that an assumption or do you know from fact?

Gravity detectors work from moving aircraft (it's a common method of deployment), so motion's no problem and can be made incredibly sensitive—sensitive enough to suit the job in hand (place one on a table and then on a book on the table and you'll easily read the difference in gravity). Moreover, seamounts are incredibly large objects and would have huge signatures and thus easy to detect.

I'd suggest the real issue around this matter is that it'll be classified.
This reads like Time Cube.

What's even the risk?

If the CEO of Google gets fired, he just ends up as the CEO of another Fortune 500 company.

If he can't even land that role, he can just go around pocketing $50k/event speaking fee. Of course, that's only if he doesn't want to degrade himself by taking on a VP-level role at another Fortune 500 company.

> Does that include some mechanism which prevents “we know you’re running this server and politely ask you to stop”?

to answer this literally: no. nothing out-of-the-box for that, at least.

but do sci-hub, zlib, and friends have such a mechanism? we've been here before with CFAA, then DMCA. ostensibly, we lost those legislative battles against DRM and copyright. and yet it's easier to access academic articles than ever before.

we have those things above because despite what legislators did, enough of the public is engaged with our goals, or views them as worthy, that it's political suicide to actually enforce on them.

so just do that again, but here: convince the public -- your peers -- that end-to-end encryption isn't for baddies; that privacy is a good thing. that your cause is morally just. build the tooling that makes privacy easy. then use it, share it, spread it. if we get that far, then congrats: whatever the legislators say can't actually hold water.

if you don't buy that, then do what worked for SOPA: voice your opinions publicly. keep the pressure on for months with website blackouts, banners and boycotts. make it a spectacle.

neither solution ends with "write your legislator". if you want to write them, i won't stop you: but that's not where the meat of any of this is actually determined.
We have used these tactical plays back at the days when we joined Bitmovin (YC15) when there were only a few people.

Ask HN: How would the creator of a breakthrough in LLM  monetized it?
Suppose someone develops a new way to train LLM so that the perplexity and the zero shot capabilities go roof. How could he/she monetize this before someone else copy the main idea. I am not that person, and at this moment I haven't any hint about it, but I ask just in case. Obviously, some would suggest that person to train the LLM and ask her, but training requires resources that not everybody has, and it would be possible that this task has no possible good ending for he/she, so everybody should be careful for what she wish for.
CEOs serve the board and the board serves the shareholders.

Employees are irrelevant in this scenario, replaceable units whose purpose is to produce.

Are either of the two relevant parties mad at the CEO?

If you want employees to matter beyond the cold calculus of dollars per beating heart per quarter, Alphabet ain't inside that kinda system.

Unions could help (because they explicitly acknowledge the $ per soul metric and seek to exploit it for the souls' benefit) but the U-word is a bad word to libertarian techbros.
Tons of tech companies were firing employees in 2022, so much so Apple was far and wide an exception in just keeping the same numbers. Feels more like an economic cycle / preparing for the worse rather than result of bad decisions on behalf of Pichai. And yes - firing employees to protect the efficiency of the company is (an unpopular) part of a CEOs job.

Did the same for Xbox as well: that was lossmaking for years, if I remember correctly. And yet now, and for a long time, they've had a very successful business. One thing I'll say for Microsoft: they really know how to commit. Doesn't always work of course (Windows Mobile, for example), but a lot of their more successful bets have been very long plays.

Dynamics Of Space Debris Removal: A Review
The headline seems to be mixing two trends in food randomly. The drop in meat & milk is likely independent of vegan trends - the $ figures are different orders of magnitude. This isn't substitution at all, so there is no reason to think they are interacting.

Europe is probably being hit by some sort of hardship right now meaning people can't eat as well as usual. The UK seems to be being hit by an energy crisis for example, although they also seem to be having a much worse time of it than mainland Europe. Per capita figures are lower than China and it might drop below the global average in a decade if the current trend keeps up.

No, I mean the Loving Hut chain is actually run by a cult: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Hai

In Europe, it's pretty low-key, but still. In Asia, they have TVs in their restaurants that show their religious ceremonies on a loop, and the restaurants have a more temple-like interior décor.
They're not "pets", they're "animals". And social function is one of their primary instincts.

But as long as we force them to be pets, they're in fact meant to be raised alone in homes. And they compensate for it by bonding with their owners, which are away most of the time.

It's casually cruel, but also I don't think there's such a construct as "pets outside with pet friends". Ideally we'd just let nature handle itself and we stop trying to productize it as home decoration & entertainment.
> I'm tired of clowns trying to solve any problem with "bad content" with censorship.

No not "random" but systematic, targeted and effective "censorship"

When a news corp chooses to not run a news story for the third day in a row, is that censorship?

When I am pissed off at a customer services agent, and instead of shouting "GET FUCKED YOU USELESS SHIT" is that censorship?

When I am walking along the road and see a very sexy person, and I _don't_ shout out "HEY THERE SEXY, I'D LIKE TO FUCK/GET FUCKED BY YOU!" is that censorship?

A well ordered society requires rules. Those rules need to be clear, and generated by consensus.

When you negligently and repeatedly show footage to a vulnerable person designed to deliberately illicit harm, that is not what a well ordered and productive society allows.

But then the US is not a well ordered society, so do what you want kid.
