What made me start paying attention to the vagus nerve noise was this:

This claims to improve language learning through selective non invasive stimulation.

The great confusion with these things is given how the body has a tendency to recalibrate dynamically to new stable levels of stimulation the trick would be finding what sort of on/off routine is needed to create the desired effect.
The consistent pattern I've noticed is that the books gain their nickname (usually) from the cover of the 1st Edition of the Book.

Acronyms can count too!
Nitpicking here, but I prefer a different convention.

func bar() error {
err := baz.Transmogrify()
return fmt.Errorf("bar: %w", err)
}

func foo() error {
err := bar()
return fmt.Errorf("foo: %w", err)
}

func main() {
err := foo()
fmt.Printf(err)
// foo: bar: transmogrify: not found
}

Also, I tend to skip quite a lot of layers. The (only?) advantage of manual wrapping over stack traces is that a human can leave just 3 wrappings which are deemed sufficient for another human, while stack trace would contain 100 lines of crap.

> Further research revealed that the brain communicates with the spleen – an organ that plays a critical role in the immune system – by sending electrical signals down the vagus nerve. These trigger the release of a chemical called acetylcholine that tells immune cells to switch off inflammation.

Isn’t inflammation an important process for healing? Too much is obviously bad, but if we go turning it off, won’t that lead to longer term issues?

Shouldn’t we be looking to solve what’s causing the inflammation in the first place?

May I assume that you want a DB so that you can see similarly sized houses/flats and get ideas on laytouts, balconies, etc?

Someone already wrote: ads. Go to your house/flat hunting website of choice, use the appropriate filters (house/flat) floors, sqm/sqft, etc. Usually the photos and the layout are there, and if you put a price range you can also see the cheap ones vs the expensive ones.

just a few thoughts. it is possible that your discovery of mindfulness and meditation was essential to understand this tao of pooh and make it work for you.

i also notice that there are people who seem to be blessed with a natural ability to be mindful. those people also tend to be charismatic, happy most of the time, full of intrinsic motivation and energy. all those things i'm not ... lol. my understand is that those people experienced no or only mild childhood trauma and grew up with strong and loving bonds to their parents and siblings. this idea is founded on my readings of dr gabor mate. those people do not carry any pain or if they do they have very well developed mental strategies to mange it. if you don't - like me again - then you will always have an inclination to distract yourself from yourself and your emotional experience - the opposite of mindfulness. as a matter of fact this distraction is becoming the default mental strategy to cope with this always present nagging nervousness and irritation. #adhd

Show HN: To mute words on Twitter in batches, I created a browser extension
Hello HN community :)

For a while now I've been watching my Twitter feed fill up with more and more crap. The fact that it's now possible to monetise your tweets has made things even crappier.

At the same time, adding words to mute is a pain. First you have to find the option, buried deep in Twitter's settings, and then you have to add them one by one.

So I came up with the idea of writing a little browser extension that lets you add lists of muted words, which can come from more or less anywhere, as long as they're in a certain format (a multi-line text file or a JSON array).

The extension doesn't collect any data, you don't need an account to use it, and you can store your lists anywhere (although I'd recommend Github gist or Pastebin).

To be honest, I made this mainly as an exercise to learn how a browser extension works and how to make one, but if it's useful to people, that's great!

Feel free to let me know what you think and give it a try. If there's ever an audience for it, I'm thinking of taking it further by adding lists of people to mute, extracting your existing list of muted words from Twitter, etc.If you have any other ideas for development, I'd love to hear from you.
Does anyone knows if this also holds for any phone in general? I've recently acquired the SP Connect Moto Mount Pro with the Universal Phone Clamp (while the mount itself is rock solid, I can't say the same about the clamp. It just feels a cheap piece of plastic which doesn't give that much confidence). Will I also need to use a dampener?
It seems like LLMs can easily start to "forget" requests to modify their style or tone if it's a small part of the overall context, and they drift back towards the style or tone they naturally have (or were encouraged to have by their original trainers.)

The best thing is those fucking sites where after the page seems to be completely loaded suddenly new components or even worse: ads pop in, and you accidentally click on those instead of what you intended to click on.
Isn't "Thiel Truth" just a euphemism for a strongly-held opinion? Not sure why this banal concept has to be attributed to some venture capitalist. Seems like clickbait.

That aside, just use whatever fits best for the task at hand. If server-side rendering works better for you, use that. If client-side rendering is preferable, do that instead. Or a mix of the two. No need to be dogmatic about it.

Your requirement for physical evidence is biased and so discounts the possibility that non-physical evidence may be available.

It's like saying "I believe in X. I won't accept any evidence against X. Since Y is against X, Y doesn't exist"

This means you'd never realise X was wrong in the first place.

I'm not a doctor so I won't pretend I understand how these treatments work but:

> Tracey immediately recognised the therapeutic implications, having spent years trying to develop better treatments for inflammatory conditions such as sepsis, arthritis and Crohn’s disease. Existing drugs dampen inflammation, but carry a risk of serious side effects. Here was a technique with the potential to switch off inflammation without the need for drugs.

I don't think anyone wants to switch off inflammation for everyone, all the time or as treatment for everything, but there's treatments where it's desired.
Not just someONE, whole bunch of researchers and automated scans.

You can set up calendly or equivalent with stripe. Come up with an introduction script, let the tooling handle gating the actual block of time with payment. You can come up with a series of ‘objection’ scripts to cover pretty much every negative response you’d get:

“Unfortunately I can’t accept equity because my accountant has made me aware of some adverse tax implications that would really screw up my filing this year”

Ridiculous captcha at GitHub to reset your password
You need to reset your password of your github account? Good luck with that, the captcha will screw you over.

There are 6 pictures with each having 4 dices. You have to add up the dice count and find the picture whose dice count is equal to 14. It starts with 5 rounds, but after that you have to complete 5 more rounds. You need more than 5 seconds to solve a round? That is too slow, you have to start from the start again. A colleague had to reset his password, and it took 3 people in the zoom call and 3 tries until we were able to solve the captcha.

How can anyone think that this is a good idea?
The one where I was put in a room with like 25 other candidates, we were given an hour to solve a puzzle involving clues written on little bits of cardboard and half way through one of the girls started to cry whilst the interviewers looked on impassively.

This was a long time ago and for a large scale internship programme for teenagers (18-20) at a once-big tech firm that shall remain nameless. The goal appeared to be seeing how we worked together under pressure or something that, so after a while I guessed that the puzzle might not have a solution at all, as if it did some groups would finish a lot faster than others and then they wouldn't be able to watch us for the same length of time in each group. But none of the other kids had seemed to realize that. When the girl started to cry she was really sobbing and saying stuff like "we're not making any progress", so I said something like "yes that's true but bear in mind there might not be an answer" and she stopped crying immediately. I had to spend the next five minutes explaining this idea to the group and then the five after that convincing them that we had to keep working on the puzzle anyway, because even if the guess was right it didn't make any difference to the correct course of action.

The whole exercise struck me as needlessly cruel for teenagers who were probably in their first job interview ever. Like, if you're recruiting for a serious job where you need to make fast decisions under pressure then fine, but putting kids through that? Later I became an interviewer for big tech myself and never saw anything similar. I must have been right though because I got an offer, but turned it down in favor of a more interesting company that had used a more individualized interview process.
This applies to general software development but is especially true in this case

No, proliferation is no joke.

And the cat most certainly is not out of the bag. If you split the nuclear era in the first 3 decades and the next 5, then by 1975 seven nations got the bomb: the US, the USSR, the UK, France, China, Israel and India. After that, only three nations did (South Africa, Pakistan and North Korea) and one gave them up eventually.

Iran figured out that they can play their cards better if the do not acquire the bomb, but only enrich enough uranium to be able to do that. Many other nations are only "a screwdriver's turn away" from building a bomb, Japan first among them. So much so that there is the concept of "Japan option", or nuclear latency [1]. These countries have looked into the pros and cons of possessing nuclear weapons and decided that it's better for them not to build the bomb, but be able to do that at a moment's notice. In particular, if China were to invade Taiwan, you can be sure than both Japan and South Korea would have the bomb in less than one year, and this is something that the Chinese planners are well aware of. If Japan and South Korea already had the bomb, then it would be much less of a deterrent for China to invade Taiwan.

It's not if you don't keep track of releases. "Is Ubuntu codename 2 or 15 years old?" is basically unanswerable. even regular incrementing version numbers are easier: I don't keep track of Debian closely either, but I know "Debian 6" is pretty old, and Debian 12 or so is the latest version.
I see that his NAS is using an external harddrive enclosure over USB. I'm really curious about how wise such a NAS setup is?

In some ways it seems very attractive as you can just get a low-power SoC (like a Raspberry Pi or a NUC) and hook it up to the external drives.

But there also seems to be many potential pitfalls. Like, how slow will a resilver be over the USB? Might it be unusable/dangerously slow? How reliable is the USB connection? Does it perform to spec or might it cause weird issues? Can you get SMART info over the USB connection? Other issues?
This is true in most parts of the USA as well. In the State of Florida where I live, all drawings and plans become public record and these would definitely be enough to build. This is because all drawings used to build are required to be submitted. This includes details like engineering drawings and calculations and roof truss layout.

They are still protected by copyright but I'm not sure if it's relevant in the context of using the same plans to build a house. Copyright is meant to protect against copying and derivative works not how the information is used.

I agree that looks and deskspace is not something to optimize for and number entering is great on the number pad, but the ergonomics expert at my job informed us that shorter hand travel to the mouse is better against straining or something, so not using numpads would help. Or move the mouse/trackpad to the left.
"I still ate some and feel fine" vs. "I've been sitting on the toilet for the last 25 minutes".
I'd disagree that the terms are synonymous. Free plans probably could mean printed out single sheet plans with renderings. Open Source usually means the legal freedom to change, update and share whatever it is. To me, the source of the plans is provided so that someone could change/update the plans as they wish. In the context of architectural plans this could be the files in something like Fusion 360 if that were actually used for full house plans (I don't think it is).

Edit to add: I doubt an architectural firm would give their source files to plans away for free. They put a lot of effort into creating them, its their business after all.
