Interestingly, I don't like most oat milks because they're so sweet.

I also learned that while they almost always say they're unsweetened, that's kinda... not wrong, but misleading, as most oat milks use a production process that creates sugar.

There are no-sugar or almost-no-sugar oat milks that don't do this, but they're rare.
The most efficient market has no human actors in it. Imagine, a market composed only of highly rational AI. Finally all those unrealistic economical models work not only on paper but in reality. Perfection!

Most of the arguments seem alright enough, but

> Native

> I can see some of the benefits of cloud-based no-code, but then you can’t work with the computer. Ideally it should also “feel” like a native program, too.

That would've made for a good argument in 2000, maybe in 2010, but today? Corporate computers are usually locked down too much to allow installing native programs (and for good reason); while more and more households no longer bother with a full-on computer, relying more and more on phones and tablets.

If you really want to bring no-code in the form of easier automation to the masses, it has to be accessible from a web browser. Especially if has to run regularly to check on things; even among those who still have a desktop, many wouldn't want to keep it running 24/7 nor can necessarily guarantee good enough network connectivity.
"the difficult conversation we need to be having would be about proteins and how to produce them sustainabily and ethically. This plant based vegan alternatives hide from the real problem, I think"

Huh? I thought the real problem are the vast ressources milk production needs and the cruel need to seperate the cow babies from their mothers so they produce more milk. And not even speaking about the meat production facalities.

Oatmilk on the other hand grows fast and does not require misstreating babies, so what is the real problem?

(apart from the fact, that many people, including me, also like milk and meat, despite alternatives?)
Ask HN: AI enhanced speech computer control to help those with disabilities?
Dear HN community,

With the breakthroughs in AI and speech recognition I was wondering if there are some recommended applications/ways to help those with disabilities work with computers.

My father suffers from MS and his mobility is highly restricted. His day-to-day work is coordinating other people so spent on the computer mostly in emails, browsing the internet and conversing via video calls.

His most used applications - if it makes a difference - are: Outlook; Chrome; Teams; Zoom; WhatsApp; Telegram

Any recommendations that I could help him explore to increase his efficiency would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance & happy hacking
That graph is for the number of transaction, not transaction volume. Bitcoin has a max amount of transactions per block and blocks have been more or less saturated since a while so the number of transactions can't actually increase. It certainly doesn't look like it's decreasing. A lot of the transactions has been moving to second layer solutions as well, with on-chain becoming a sort of settlement layer.

Copying a piece of code and changing the variable names is still a copy. It is similar to how copying a piece of music and changing the pitch/volume/any other attribute would still be a copy of the original music.

The thing that the LLM need to do is to convince a judge/jury that it has not created a copy, and that it operate differently from a transformation.
Data is sort of wildcard argument. Doesn't has any value if you don't point to specific.

Cashew cheese really is not better for the planet the local organic milk cheese.

In north of Holland there huge patches of land only cow can grace the land and nothing else grows, and there is an abundance of the water. Yet everyone complains about milk and meat taking too much wayer, and that growing plants would be more efficient.

It all depends, you cant just say "data".

We’re only a few disasters away from the government deciding that the climate crisis requires drastic measures, including a severe rationing of meat and other products considered harmful to the environment. It’s clear from the rhetoric that this is the direction we are moving in, and it’s also clear that a great percentage of the population will comply and even celebrate such restrictions.

There are so many blog posts about green tea being healthy.
Every time I tried some its taste was revolting (like drinking dirty feet water), and it created a rough feeling in my throat.

I usually drink peppermint and/or camomile. If not solo, the mix must be 50/50 or it also tastes like old socks.
I also like various fruit teas, or blends like orange and curcuma, rose hip/hybiscus.

As a European I don't understand the green tea hype.

Did your acquaintance provide "a specific prompt engineering project on LLMs that you’re proud of in your application"? Was that project interesting in a particularly innovative way?

I mean, I don't really know but an alternative explanation to "CV fishing" can be "idea fishing". You have a startup with something they call a "product", their generic assistant Claude. They've invested in feeding and growing a LLM. But while they claim this assistant can be integrated "anywhere" to solve "multiple tasks", that is all pretty generic. Which means -maybe; again I don't know- they lack actual practical scenarios where the application of a LLM will provide direct and visible benefits. That is, they got something they think can be useful but they still need to find how to make it so, how to provide interesting use cases. And so, they would be interested in getting all these small, experimental ideas to read and think about.
> that could contribute advances for executing Windows things within Linux

I very much doubt that is a threat to Microsoft.

It is technically very straightforward to run Windows “things” under Linux thanks to virtual machines and/or RDP to a server and some UI trickery to make it seamless and facilitate interoperability between the two OSes. Parallels does quite a bit of that on macOS for example. A similar solution would be developed for Linux if there was enough demand for it.
Unbiased news algorithm:

1. Identify all clusters of power and opinion, eg. Republicans, Democrats, Chinese Communist Party, UK Labour Party, Green Party, etc.

2. Associate each cluster with news organizations that tightly align with their policies.

3. Evaluate stories - headlines in only one cluster (under reported elsewhere) represent a view. Headlines that have different takes, likewise, give you a spectrum of thought on an issue or topic.

4. Collect fine points and build a report. Bonus for providing contrasting opinions and associating them with the party/power responsible for that thinking.

I want this tool. It'd be okay if it wasn't perfect. Just getting 80% of the way there would be incredibly valuable. I'd pay for it.

Hmm.

While you're obviously correct that such things matter, I don't have the impression that people sweat those things for meat or dairy even before the vegan alternatives.

I'm using substitutes where possible, but count myself as vegetarian rather than vegan, mainly due to cheese. Vegan cheese substitutes do exist, but I can't use one single thing in all places: smoked tofu can go in a sandwich but it doesn't melt right on a pizza, the ones which do melt have zero-to-minimal protein. Milk substitutes are easier, but I still keep the soy for cereal and the Hafermilch for drinks.

Ask HN: Can’t study other lessons instead of coding/learning to code
Hi, I’m a Bachelor student in Business Informatics. I have to study Discrete Math and Lineare Algebra, instead of procrastinating by coding.

Here in Germany we can only fail three times of an exam. I failed once and have to pass Discrete Math this semester. However I’m a web developer in a company and work two days a week. My works makes me happy and I want to continue doing it.

Today I wanted to do something mew and tried to use ChatGPT to write an app with Go (because I have no experience in Golang, at work I’m doing Django and vue stuff). It gives me some example code, with errors obviously and I’m trying to correct and use. I connected Postgres and created structs, repositories handlers, services and so on. Man, this feels perfect.

But, I have to do Math assignments and repeat what I learned. How can I stop using my computer for programming? I have an iPad for study but I need to use my computer too, without VSCode opened in background. Should I go to library? What would you do if you were me?
I've been looking for faster implementations of Whisper, the main drawback with Whisper Jax is that the performance comes from running on Google TPUs, which are much more expensive than GPUs.

On "normal" GPUs the fastest implementation I've found is https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper. Whisper.cpp works faster on a CPU, especially on Apple Silicon, but still nowhere near the performance you could get on a GPU (understandably).

How does Whisper Jax compares to faster-whisper on a GPU?
Probably going to be short lasted, as the nutritional deficiencies caused by those products start to produce symptoms. Then plant based diets will become stigmatised.

The trend in plant foods to label them with names for animal products is very misleading when the nutritional profiles have absolutely nothing in common. Oat “milk” is basically flavoured water; soy “milk” has a little bit of nutrients in it, but it’s negligible. Vegan “meat” from wheat/seitan (the most popular version) contains a type of protein that is not digestible. Vegan “cheese” from coconut oil and starch is also nutritionally empty. And so on.

I know all this because I’ve been vegan for 5+ years and i had to study a lot to understand how to be responsible about my diet. You have to go to basics and use raw ingredients. The processed products on the market are not good for you.
People live longer, but biological youth isn't shifted. People in their 20s are at the top of mental and physical performance. But our gerontocracies bar people of that age from any positions of significant influence. People also mature more slowly these days, due to infantilisation of culture and sheltered upbringing.

> We lighlty compare real milk with plant based milk without being honest about the completely different properties of the two

For sure, there are many differences between plant based and dairy milk. Besides the protein levels, for example, a large percentage of humans - between 10 and 90 percent depending on genetic background - are lactose intolerant and can't digest animal milk. Plant based milks don't have this problem - very few people can't digest oats, and for those few who do have a problem with oats, they can switch to almond, rice, soy, cashew or even peanut milk. Sure, these have less protein than dairy milk, but they more than make up for it in diversity and benefit to the environment, and it's easy to adapt your diet to get the protein elsewhere.

So when being more honest in our comparisons - a good thing, for sure - we must compare all of these things and not just the amount of protein. For me personally, being one of those lactose intolerant people, plant based milks definitely win. For another person they may not.

Assassins creed odyssey was apparently 44-50GB at launch. That’s 3 hours @ 45 megabits/second.

This is not an uncommon internet download speed even today (let alone 5 years ago when it launched) according to the steam download stats (it varies by country, check australia for example, US is a little over 100 average):
https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/

Even at 100Mb, 45GB is 1 hour. Witcher 3 looks to be about 30GB but Cyberpunk is apparently 70-100GB.

The push for x product but vegan annoys me quite a bit, tbh.

There are lots of really amazing vegan meals. But noooo, gotta emulate non-vegan meals. As you said, nutritionally empty, but also just plain tasting worse IME.
No, I haven't noticed this in the media I read. Perhaps you could share some examples of what you mean?
Same. No-one has yet been able to explain why I should exchange a well-functioning animal-based diet into a vegan one where I need to supplement by default to fulfill human needs. I have respect for those who do it on the basis of animal compassion, but claiming healthiness is obviously a false statement.

toyg makes a good point about sharing developers, but also sharing code is important, especially for efficient server side rendering, with view code that runs on both the server and the browser.

The point is it takes fewer people (or even the same person) to write less code (instead of writing everything twice, then trying to keep them in sync forever).

I think there are quite few things in programming that can only be implemented one way. I see it as similar to music in that almost every song have notes going up or down the scale. Obviously there can't be that many variations, but then the important distinctions is often in the details. Applying copyright on a single function is like applying copyright on a single riff. Sometimes the legal system will accept it, but it should be the exception rather than the norm.

Fair use seem to had a change in scope. Historically it seems to be mostly about things like "play a clip in order to comment on it.", but now we have things like google making a copy of all books ever written in order for people to search through them. Similar arguments has been made over copying news articles from news sites in order to put a portion of it in search results. A stack overflow-like search engine that trawled proprietary code bases would likely be sued, but in theory they could argue fair use just like google.
