Sucrose is broken down in the stomach (by the low pH) and small intestine (by sucrase) into a 50/50 mix of glucose and fructose. The most common high fructose corn syrups are (to a first-order approximation, after dehydration) 58/42 and 45/55 mixtures of glucose and fructose.

I'm not saying HFCS is good, but a sucrose-sweetened bread is likely just as bad for you as an HFCS sweetened bread, if the mass of sweetener is the same.

Edit: When I was at Google, I remember some employees complaining that the only free sodas were either HFCS-sweetened or artificially-sweetened. So, we later got some agave-sweetened free sodas. The things is agave nectar is 56% fructose. The most common HFCS grades are 42% and 55% fructose. Maybe agave nectar is maybe marginally more healthy, but really... if you're going to get that worked up, you're much better off training yourself to be content without the free soda. Drink soda, or not, but please don't fool yourself into thinking switching from 55% fructose to 56% fructose is a health intervention. Maybe people are afraid of trace residues from the HFCS processing, but all evidence suggests that the fructose is orders of magnitude more harmful than any ingested byproducts of the HFCS manufacturing process.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time they had an election was 2006, and Hamas only won a plurality, not majority, of the votes then.

Assuming Palestinians had to be 18 to vote in that election, which was 17 years ago now, any Palestinian about 34 years old or younger didn't vote for Hamas, and most Palestinians older than that didn't vote for them either.

>But it has an incredibly huge problem with a particular style of spam account that reposts old content on certain subreddits.

Well that's your problem right there. That type of spam boosts a number of activity and usage KPIs and increases engagement.

Reddit has even been caught using bots to artificially build out new subreddits by Google translating and reposting existing content from other subreddits to give the illusion of popularity in order to bootstrap new subs.

Why would they want to cut down on any of that when it would affect their bottom line?
On top of that, the creation of agriculture was almost certainly extremely granular. There is a spectrum of foraging to farming. You go out in the forest and take some fruits back. Some of the discarded fruit seeds end up growing trees near your settlement. Someone eventually realizes that having fruit trees close by is really convenient, and they start planting seeds intentionally. This was probably done for a very, very long time without it being the dominant source of food.
The Internet has made a good portion of the sum total of human knowledge available to anyone with a cheap cell phone plan. Yes, most of them are using it to play games and look at funny cat pictures, but some are not, or at least not exclusively. I'm not being snobbish here -- I like funny cat pictures myself, but that's not how I spend most of my online time.

That's far from "marginal" or a "gizmo", IMO, and I don't think we've even begun to see the final outcome.
Chiropractors are as qualified to speak on medical matters as I am.

I am 100% not qualified to speak on medical matters.

YouTube would be completely justified in removing any content I create regarding diseases, treatments, or related matters.

The fact that it is not common knowledge that chiropractors are actual, literal, charlatans is incomprehensible to me.

edit: on further reflection I am probably somewhat more qualified than chiropractors to analyze and determine the validity of medical direction based on its source because the entire foundation of their profession is false and I know this whereas they do not.
I am a bit surprised by the negativity here. Python's ecosystem fragmentation is legendary at this point, and it's lack of portability is well known. Let's face it - a lot of the "ML" applications for the next decade are going to be boring, but super important applications. Stuff like self-driving labs, process modules in factories and so on.

And the idea that you will do everything with a conda package at every point is laughable. You need a compilable language, where code can be ported over from Python very rapidly, and where ML/AI tools such as differentiability is a first class citizen. That language doesn't really exist today, but multiple billions of actual industrial applications need it.

In fact, what the negativity shows here is how skewed Hacker News is towards the bit folks, and how little they talk to the atoms side of things.

For anyone intrigued as to why Douglas Adams chose 42, it was simply the funniest number to have as that punchline. It needed to be double digits, as all the single digit numbers have cultural significances, it needed to not be prime or anything else interesting, and it needed to not be too "round" like a multiple of 5 or ten. He apparently tried a few, and then as soon as he tried 42 the joke landed perfectly. I love the fact that it's so perfect that he's unintentionally created the cultural significance he wanted to avoid.
Tech Author's Technical Books Face Rampant Piracy on Amazon .in (Amazon India)
I figured I would share this with HN. The text is copied directly from ByteByteGo YouTube channel:

My technical books - System Design Interview Vol 1, Vol 2, and Machine Learning System Design Interview - are being illegally sold on Amazon .in (Amazon India).

I’ve been battling this issue for months. My publisher and I have filed dozens of copyright claims, conducted test purchases, and collected evidence - but the problem persists. I feel lost and helpless.

100% of my books sold on Amazon .in (Amazon India) are pirated copies. This means:

- More and more developers are receiving low-quality, pirated books

- The pirates profit off my hard work

- My books are getting hundreds of incorrect 1-star reviews due to piracy

The pirated books are linked to my Amazon listings, so reviews meant for the pirates end up on my product pages.

If you are in India, the books are now exclusively sold through Shroff Publishers.

In Pint you can define custom units in a unit registry. So you make your complex unit out of predefined units and the underlying unit conversion is built-in. Pint also works with pandas/numpy so you you get vectorized operations too for performance.
> One particular sore spot is the shell in POSIX.2 which Debian thought so highly of that they disposed of bash.

Uh, no, actual reason was that they required old sh compatibility anyway and dash was just much faster (we're talking 2-5x as fast for most scripts) for that

And it was Ubuntu that started the switch, not Debian, Debian just followed suit. So please don't spew bullshit reasons you think something happened as gospel.

At the time Debian was still using SysV so it was noticeable as sh invocations were far more numerous during boot.

I think that's showing a bias toward a particular kind of application.

Yes, there are often things besides pure request/response that an application needs—but in all the cases I have yet personally come across, those were easily served by simple cron jobs calling PHP scripts from the command line (either directly, or through a Symfony app's Command interface).

To be clear, I do not at all dispute that many types of application do need some kind of persistent background processes, and those would be much less suitable for building (entirely) in PHP. Indeed, I am happy to also stipulate that it may not always be easy to tell whether that will be the case when initially designing the spec and choosing one's tools.

But there are plenty of applications that work perfectly fine using nothing but request/response, and many others that only need to add simple triggered scripts to that.

This just feels like an ad. Bandcamp hasn't changed one bit since the sale to Epic. 99% of users don't know anything about Bandcamp's operations let alone that the staff planned to unionise.

Niether of those camps are moving unless something fundamentally changes to force their hand - which hasn't happened yet.

I'm 20 now and got started programming with Scratch sometime before I was 10... don't remember exactly when. I completely attribute it to my interest in programming and is the reason I'm now in school completing a computer science degree.

You can actually go into surprising depth with Scratch. For example, I wrote multiplayer game engines using cloud variables to store player position, chat, etc and let people play together live. People have written 3D platforming engines using the "pen" feature, which is like a Python turtle. Hanging out on the "Advanced Topics" forum lead me to hacking with JavaScript and Python, at first to interact with Scratch and then onto bigger things outside of Scratch.

I think that Scratch is really great, if you couldn't tell from my description. Not only is it easy for a kid to get started with a drag-and-drop interface, but you can do so much. It also has a supportive community and it's easy to make friends and collaborate on projects together.

If you want to see Scratch truly at its limits, take a look around Griffpatch's profile: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/griffpatch/
There are two limits on that deduction that are relevant. They can’t be applied to foreign built cars, and there is an income cap.

The Koreans (Kia, Hyundai) found a loophole: The restrictions do not apply to commercial fleets, including vehicles leased to consumers.

So, they offer lease incentives that are structured to give you $7500 off MSRP if you buy the vehicle out of a lease after the first month.

> The problem with POSIX file APIs are the semantics in the presence of multiple concurrent writers.

That sure is a problem with the file APIs, but far from the only one. Other issues include weird asynchrony, weird scatter/gather, lack of standard control over exposing parallelism to the device, broken fsync() and fdatasync() error semantics, just enough default buffering features to cause confusion but not avoid most performance bugs, lack of exposing device atomic write units, and many other things.

It's an old API we've had for a long time. Made sense 40 years ago. But today it's just too low level to be easy, and too high-level to be fast.

It sounds to me like the US released a report about NK espionage operations, and then people "thought" (as the article phrases it) that NK operatives were everywhere, and now we have this article that just seems to tie the most obnoxious freelancer behavior to NK espionage, without any actual evidence.
What a thoroughly disingenuous argument they make.

Let me rephrase that in terms of adventures trying to break in to the castle throne room. They say that if you keep sending a million adventuring parties, eventually some will break in, perhaps as many as 25 adventurers at once and there's no way you can afford 25 guards 24/7 to protect anything.

The obvious counter-argument is that, sure, maybe the millionth party will get in... but someone had to notice the guards stopping the first 999,999 failures, right? That counts for something?

Most "defeats" of ECC in these RowHammer style attacks are of this form, and are not in my opinion actually defeats. Authors are just sleazily handwaving away the ECC to get a sexier paper.

(ECC with OS error reporting is like having posted guards with someone supervising. If this analogy makes you wonder how things can possibly work without any ECC/guards, congratulations, you see the argument the ECC-everywhere camp are making!)
> Some would say that we should just wait for both sides to put out info

I've seen people suggest that journalists should do the research themselves and report the facts. The assumption here is that the journalist should become the source, which flies in the face of journalistic integrity. Quite the opposite, the journalist should do some level of source verification, but I don't want the journalists themselves making the claims for news reports.

This is why media literacy is so important, and why it's evident it's a skill people lack these days.

> renewables are already out-generating nuclear in the US

"Renewables" aren't suitable for base load, and the figures for "renewables" are generally presented in a deceptive way. 1 watt of solar does NOT replace 1 watt of nuclear, because there is this thing called "night". You need 2 watts, at a minimum, even with storage. More than 2 if the weather is at all cloudy.
The most important benefit might have been the high content of iodine, which is usually insufficient in terrestrial food. Obviously they did not have iodized salt, like us, to provide the required iodine.

They might have noticed that eating a little amount of seaweed will prevent illness.

For omega-3 fatty acids, they had much better food sources in bone marrow or in fish (the multicellular algae have very low content of fatty acids; those that are used for omega-3 fatty acid production are unicellular and they are not algae, even if they are named "algae" in advertisements and on labels, because it is believed that something like "straminipiles" would be incomprehensible for laymen; even many scientists misspell "straminipiles" as "stramenopiles", only "Straminipila" is correct Latin).

The vitamins were also abundant in their food, only iodine is deficient in all terrestrial food.

It was exactly the opposite: the computer was able to come up with the answer, but insufficiently powerful to figure out the question, which is why it had to design an even more powerful computer, disguised as a planet (Earth), to compute the question.

Unfortunately (both for getting the question and for the people living on it), that computer was destroyed just before giving its output.

But it was later replaced.
