I live in Texas and my wife is from Northern Mexico. This is a classic, extremely easy, 5 minute refried beans recipe:

- 1 can of pinto beans, already cooked

- 1 heaping tbsp of lard (olive oil can be substituted if you are vegan or vegetarian)

- salt to taste. We almost never salt the beans because we eat them with other fairly heavily salted foods, but it depends on how you cook obviously.

Open can, empty about the top 1/8 of liquid from the can. Again this is to personal preference, but usually using all of the liquid from the can in the saucepan results in too runny beans.

Bring beans to boil in saucepan with the liquid from the can. Once beans are boiling, add lard/oil and simmer on medium low heat until lard has completely melted or oil has dispersed.

Stir and mash beans. We use a potato masher in our house. Very low tech. I’ve even used the back of a spoon in a pinch, but it’s a bit of a pain to do that.

Serve hot. The longer you wait the thicker the beans become. So if they come out a little runny just wait a little while and let them cool, they will thicken. The only thing that can save completely watery beans is more beans, however.
So you aren't paelo, I take it?
Might depend on your stage of life, or what you make of your environment. I live in a relatively suburban area and constantly have spontaneous interactions at swim meets, local bars/breweries, baseball games, coffee shops, community events, parks, playgrounds, etc. There are plenty of hang out spots to meet new people.

I also play in some adult sports leagues with active older people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Also know lots of grandparents so regularly interact across generations. I’ve lived in large cities as well as small towns, and don’t feel like I’m missing much. Spending time at a laundromat sounds awful to be honest.
You know, I don't understand this. Why is this a thing? People are endlessly fascinating.
Connectors break because the materials are cheap, not the force per se. Size doesn’t really matter.
The meat sweats are more of an issue I think. (And generally, that it makes you smell like cooked steak.)
The suggestion to use markdown tables was quite interesting. It makes a lot of sense, and I haven't seen it described elsewhere.

I have been getting good results by asking GPT to produce semi structured responses based on other aspects of (GitHub) markdown.

In general, I find it very helpful to find an already popular format that suits your problem. The model is probably already fluent in rendering that output format. So you spend less time trying to teach it the output syntax.
It is difficult to make money shorting because you have to not only be right about the move, but the timing, too, and companies can stubbornly stick around for way longer than you think they should.

I am very interested in a serious conversation about the initial topic. If you want to talk about that, I would be happy.

But in the meantime I will play along with this tangent, since I guess it could be fun, too.

Embracing a new definition of the White race does not cause more white females to be brought into being (at least, not in any easily predictable way). It simply causes females that had already been brought into being to be reclassified from non-White to White.

And their fathers would have to be White, too.

At no point in time are there White females who do not have White fathers.
But to do most of what you discussed, you don't need any "private" data. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Reddit does and uses your browsing and posting data in the exact same way.

This reflects astonishingly poorly on Brex. What customer wants to hear that Brex is using "a non-deterministic model" for "production use cases" like "staying on top of your expenses"? I don't see them acknowledge the downsides of that non-determinism anywhere, let alone hallucination, even though they mention the latter. Hallucinating an extra expense, or missing one, could have serious consequences.

This is also potentially terrible from a privacy standpoint. That "staying on top of your expenses" example suggests that you upload "a list of the entire [receipts] inbox" to the model. It _seems_ like they're using OpenAI's API, which doesn’t use customer data for training (unlike ChatGPT), but they should be crystal clear about this. Even if OpenAI doesn't retain/reuse the data, would Brex's customers be happy with this 3rd-party sharing?

The expenses example seems like sloppy engineering too—there's no reason to share expense amounts with the model if you just want it to count the number of expenses. Merchant names could be redacted too, replaced with identifiers that Brex would map back to the real data. These suggestions would save on tokens too.

Despite Brex saying they're using this in production, I suspect it's mostly a recruiting exercise. It's still a very bad look for their engineering.
“ The Russians, invaded twice by Germany in the 20th century” - technically in WW1 Russia mobilized her armies ahead of Germany and was the first to cross over state lines on august 17th 1914 - so in ww1 it’s more like Russia invades Germany.
From Texas, refried beans both (1) get a terrible reputation for being unhealthy because of a mistranslation (2) are in my top tier favorites. A good refried beans dish is absolutely delicious.
Probably I don't believe what you think I believe. It's also why I was calling the original article as 'bait'. For anyone who doesn't understand it, these kind of evolutionary psychology arguments are sometimes used as dog whistles for supporting racist beliefs but I'm not trying to use it that way.

For example the one saying "thank you for your service" might think I'm doing a dog whistle and they are answering with another dog whistle thinking I support them when they make comments like

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35766066
"Why does the lead photo prominently feature a “racism is a sin” sign and the article immediately mentions PoC victims in Oakland? Isn’t the vast majority of PoC victimhood in Oakland intraracial? Not many Klansmen walking around Oakland. Annoying race baiting from NPR."

but I don't support those kind of comments.

The protein in beans is not nearly as bioavailable as the protein in meat.
Further, it is not complete - it doesn't contain all the amino acids we need.
Not to mention that meat contains over fifteen identified micronutrients that aren't found in any plants.

There's a good reason that meat is tasty and desirable, and beans less so. Meat is simply much more nutritious.

It seems to me that vegetarian thought like this is based out of a self-denial. Perhaps self-denial is a valid strategy when your mind and desires are addled by malnutrition and drug-foods like bread and refined sugar.
If the other people are selfless it won’t benefit them either.
You just generalised roughly about a billion people's diets.

> 86% of vegetarians go back to eating meat because they get sick

About half of those billion people were never not-vegetarian in the first place, i.e. Indians. They are generational vegetarians, having stuck to that diet for well over 3500 years. So either you pulled that factoid out of some unsavoury orifice, or you are badly misinformed.

> Nearly all vegetarians I've seen are nearly never obese but nearly always look weak, sick and tired

Also, source?

Americans are amongst the most 'carnivorous'[1], but there is a massive obesity, heart disease, and high cholesterol problem in the US.

Similar is the distinction between reasons and excuses: The words are synonyms, except to the extent an excuse is a reason I don't like.
This is simply not true. I grew up in a family of multiple generations of lifelong bean eaters and the gas never goes away no matter how you cook them.
This is very off-topic and for that I apologize, but can anyone shed some light on why so many texts of this era use 2 backticks/graves as a left double quote and 2 apostrophes (neutral single quotes) as a double right quote?

I could understand using neutral single quotes all around if the double quote character wasn't available, but why the backticks? I get that they look more out of place with proportional fonts than fixed-width, but even when fixed-width was ubiquitous and even if this usage of glyphs looked symmetrical, it would've deviated from how the code points are defined, right? Or were the definitions so multi-valued (like the "hyphen/minus" character) that this was legitimate?
He's not wrong, people.

When people talk about their program for Massive Big Gainz(tm), nobody mentions "beans" for good reason.
Feijoada. 2 cups black beans, four cups broth, 4 oz fatty pork scraps (bacon, shoulder, whatever), 8 oz sausage, whatever other meat scraps are laying around, 2 onions chopped, 2 bell peppers chopped, 6 cloves garlic, tsp oregano, tsp black pepper. High pressure 2 hours. Unlid, correct seasoning, eat with rice.

Real minestrone is a bean-and-cabbage stew, and made properly it's one of the best things. Fry 3 oz bacon in pressure cooker saute. Add 2 ribs celery chopped, 1 carrot chopped, 2 onions chopped, fry until softened. Add 6 cloves garlic, 8 cups broth, a Parmesean rind (about 5x2"), a bay leaf, and 1 cup small white beans (cannellini). High Pressure 2 hours. Meanwhile, fry a sliced zucchini in some olive oil. Reserve. Then fry half a cabbage chopped up in some more olive oil. Add the fried veg to the finished bean soup, then add 1.5 cups V-8 and a big fistful of chopped basil. Stir it up. Correct seasoning with salt and red pepper. Eat it, maybe with some more parmesean. DON'T THROW AWAY THE STEWED CHEESE RIND IT IS DELICIOUS.

You can do some other weird stuff, like make an egg salad-style salad with chickpeas, but that's some weird stuff that I think takes a bit more adventurousness in the mouth.

I coould go on, but those are some good starters. I cook a lot.

100% this! Checking the original source isn’t just a feature, for me it’s a requirement for the research I do. I need to pin cite a concept/case/regulation/etc. - and “chatGPT said” doesn’t cut it. So cool. Can’t wait to give this a try.
You absolutely do not get gas after a steak dinner like you do after a bowl of pinto beans for dinner. Nobody I've ever met does. You're being hilariously unrealistic.
Considering that we can trace genetic diseases all the way through arthropod models through other model organisms to humans I can't agree more ;).
Those aren’t taxes. They are levies and duties. Which are then associated with subsidies and grants. And they are political choices not economic necessities.

Using one word for two separate jobs confuses matters. English has many words for taking money off people.

Fuel duty and wealth levies do the political job. Taxes do the economic job of releasing resources for the public good
I'm only 35 so I'm comparatively young but still older than a lot of my colleagues... I probably do not have the same energy or drive I used to, especially having a young kid at home, but I think in a lot of ways that's compensated for by having more experience to draw on. My hope is that holds up in the future.
So tasty. Dal Makhani is my personal favourite. India has great vegetarian food!
People don't need that much protein as it is, something like 40 grams/day is sufficient for an adult male who isn't trying to gain muscle.

Beans are good, but not a replacement for meat (too many carbs), they should just be part of a varied diet. Meat shouldn't be eaten every day anyway, 2, maybe 3 times a week, and rarely red meat.

I mean, that's if health is a concern at all, which for most it isn't.

> ... in the US, where the average person eats only around 7.5 pounds of beans per year.

Wow, that's surprisingly low. Maybe people haven't had good beans? I was going through at least a pound per week of dry beans from Rancho Gordo [1] during the pandemic when I was cooking all the time.

I guess most people just eat crappy canned beans? They're really missing out if so.

Elastic was useless without X-Pack after a few versions

And calling it open is fine, Amazon got dinged for calling their ES service Elasticsearch because it was confusing. Calling it Opensearch while touting Elasticsearch support is just as confusing, people fail to realize it's not Open Source Elasticsearch, it's fallen so far behind it doesn't touch on half the functionality ES offwrs
Thats also not what non profit means. There are many kinds of non-profits and some of them aren't exempt. There is a no tax incentive to non profits that qualify (501c), but the definition is, quite literally, that they can't turn a profit. In other words, excess cash cannot be divied out among its owners.
We eat a lot of beans now, and cook meat at home 1-2 times a month. A staple in my household is instapot black beans: https://www.seriouseats.com/quick-and-easy-pressure-cooker-b...

Bean tacos one night, beans and rice the next, kid never says no to more beans and rice for lunch.

We make hummus, started from NYT Cooking but more garlic. Pretty easy to make a big batch and freeze half. Hummus is great in sandwich form.

And I second any Indian recipes with lentils, etc. though I haven't found the ones that the kids consistently like. Dal is easy, but even I don't love it.
Get a pressure cooker, it makes beans far more practical.

A staple for me is to sautee some garlic and chopped onion in chicken fat or olive oil in a pressure cooker, add bay leaves, black pepper, a small pile of cumin and an even larger pile of paprika, and some parsley, with the (salted)water+beans. I'll usually do this with black beans supplemented with ~20% pinto.

Augment it for other bean types... just look up recipes for what herbs/spices goes well with them. Cumin and paprika works with a lot of them, heavier cumin with lentils, heavier paprika with kidney beans. Garbonzo I usually leave out the cumin and paprika altogether, and add rosemary.

Kidney beans you can turn into a sort of poor man's vegan chili just by adding a mountain of paprika, it turns into a sauce with the disintegrating beans. I'll omit the onions, garlic, and bay leaves for that mode, and just add some raw chopped onions to the bowl like you would with chili.

If all they want to do is supplant Patreon, fine, maybe they can? But Patreon’s valuation seems to be 1-2B. That doesn’t move the needle and is anyway far less ambitious than the stated “everything app” goal for payments.
>People don't need that much protein as it is, something like 40 grams/day is sufficient for an adult male who isn't trying to gain muscle.

Correct.

>Beans are good, but not a replacement for meat (too many carbs)

Beans are not a replacement for meat because they contain little-to-none of meat's micronutrients, in their bioavailable forms.

>rarely red meat.

Why?

>I mean, that's if health is a concern at all, which for most it isn't.

This. Same happened with npm starting to offer new features (like lockfiles) only after yarn had them. History has shown competition is only way to make them move.

Exactly. Third places or social Schelling points. Society needs many more places where people can just show up and "shoot the shit" with people they know and casually make new acquaintances. In the US, I only know of skate parks, university dorm communal areas, and a rare type of local bar, but I'm sure there's similar in things like tennis courts or chess in the park.

The reason the punishment has to be so extreme is that if it’s not they will discount by probability of being caught (and getting enough quality evidence etc). So it can’t be a reasonable punishment that is just a bit more than the benefit. It needs to be an extreme deterrent so as to prevent them even doing the calculation.
The right metric is protein per calorie. Beans are very high up on that list, just below meat and cheese.

Not to mention most people aren't protein-maxing, so even a medium protein food is very good.
> Beans are protein-rich, sustainable, and delicious. Why doesn’t the US eat more of them?

Many of us can't eat them. those with IBS or Fodmap sensitivities will have a very bad time eating most beans.
Maintaining strength and muscle mass is a pillar of aging well and enjoying the latter years of life.

If you care about your long term health you should absolutely spend time regularly strengthening your muscles, and ensure that your diet supports that.
That is largely misinformation. While 40 g/day may be sufficient to avoid acute nutritional deficiency, it is hardly optimal for long-term health and athletic performance.

It's easier. Setting up a docker container[0] that replicates OpenAI's endpoints is faster than making an account from scratch with payment processing included.

Plus, I don't really trust OpenAI's data policies. Running the model locally gives me the option to airgap my inferencing machine if-needed, something OpenAI won't have until they offer on-prem.

I think meat sweats are only thing when you have a massive steak and a massive insulin spike from a mound of potatoes or dinner roles.
Sounds like a non-issue to me. If the line is about having electricity or not, I would choose coal every time.

One can argue they can grow the coverage the same but with renewables, but I don't think for a (relatively speaking) poorer country that's as easy.
If a site doesn't have a feed, and nobody else third-party generates a feed for it, then sometimes I just don't follow that site much. It depends. If you use a competent rss reader like FreshRSS then you can alternatively do web scraping even if there isn't an rss feed per se, if the site seems worth that much effort. Many aren't worth that effort.

Beans and rice, it's inexpensive and delicious. If you look at food all around the world there is almost always some kind of beans and rice dish, typically made with spices and vegetables unique to the area.

It's very inexpensive, filling and easy to cook in bulk and freeze/reheat throughout the week. Most of my lunches during the week are pinto or black beans I pressure cook once a week plus some rice I cook a few times a week.

"Invention of medicine" was just shorthand for "men contributed the most to medecine and invented modern medicine/biology."

>it also leads immediately to the observation that white men didn't invent agriculture, the wheel, philosophy, writing.

Not all racists are white. leaving that aside, white racists would say that white men perfected agriculture, the wheel, philosophy ect.

>If men can be excused because they did great things, then why not other categories of people?

Based on the point I made above, they might say that men are excused because they are continualy useful, while other races did great things but only because white people were not there to do it first becasue they were not yet civilized, but once they became civilized then there is no need for for others. (Although there is a few hundred year gap between the begining of western European civilization and the start of major European advancements, which I would put at about 1500, but you can imagine such an arguemt or similar argument in any case.)
