>Survival instinct is to eat everything in front of you. Reduce portion sizes across the board, and people would likely eat less.

This is too simplistic and is not true for many people. There are also many people out there who, when faced with smaller portions, will order multiple servings or snack constantly between meals because they are always feeling the urge to eat (while typically having low energy with which to exercise).

Added sugar in so many processed foods should not be ignored, as per the findings of this study. Lower energy expenditure via ATP, blocking of ability to use stored fat for ATP, and leptin resistance blocking the satiety signal play a huge role in obesity. These all appear to be directly triggered by fructose (which is present in most sugars, not just HFCS).

another plus for using a bluetooth reciever. something like the fiio btr3. it still works while charging and can be used with any headphones or earbuds. it will hopefully last me longer too since i probably have more chance of replacing the battery compared to the types that are in headphones

>we've had powerful summarization techniques for decades now (deep-learning, or otherwise) - and they aren't susceptible to the hallucinations of present day Generative LLMs.

do you mean BERT, Seq2Seq and similar?

My biggest takeaway from summarization tasks was that the benchmarks/evals seemed rather.. lacking.
It's a self-contained lesson in corporation taxation, I suppose.
I find using the word "regurgitate" when talking about LLMs pretty ironic since the word itself is almost never used except by people who "regurgitate" arguments from other people.

Also, I wish people would reduce the use of such derogatory terms in arguments because it distracts from the core reasoning.
Thanks. This will come very useful.
Wireless headphones are very good for their particular use case—not being tethered to a device. If your phone or a DAP, wired can work fine. But it can be an issue if you're listening from a laptop or a desktop and you need to move.

I have a pair of wireless earbuds and a pair of wireless headphones that I use only when I want this convenience. But for meetings, I always use my wired headphones. Voice over bluetooth is always atrocious when using the microphone.

That doesn't actually exist in reality. You will always have to build on someone else's platforms.

Convenience store? You have to have land (and or rent: dependent), you have to pay taxes to the government on that land, you have to buy product from suppliers/vendors (platform), you have to advertise on platforms (newspaper, radio, tv, online, something), you have to hire (dependent on labor, dependent on advertising for hiring). You're probably going to end up with an accountant eventually if you have any success, dependent. You need a wide variety of basic supplies to operate your store (from t-shirt bags to cleaning supplies), dependent. You need a POS system, dependent. The list is very long.

There's no scenario where you can ever not be dependent on other platforms and services, in one form or another.

I'd challenge anybody on HN to name a case where you can avoid them. Selling loose rocks out of a cave by shouting out for customers? Maybe.

Need an operating system? Now you're dependent on a platform. On Ubuntu, on Windows, something.

Need to do AI? Say hello to Nvidia, Intel or AMD (but almost always Nvidia). Now you're dependent.

Need energy? Utility companies, now you're dependent on another company. Which is no different than any other critical dependency for your business: it goes down, you go down.

You need a datacenter for self-hosting. And or you need a cloud. And or you need fiber to the home. And or you need server hardware. And or you need an office building. And or you need electricity. And or you need xyz and on it goes for any variety of scenarios you can possibly name.

Most likely you're dependent on dozens of other platforms and services and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Want to reach people? Say hello to Reddit, or TikTok, or Instagram, or Google search, or 30 other options, but most likely only a few are going to work really well for whatever you're doing. Now you're dependent.

The only actual option is to pick wisely - to the extent possible - what/who your dependencies are, and be prepared to switch to alternatives if you can.

No. But I see effects of several bombings in that area at the time. Why does it matter? IDF is clearly bombing Gaza. Are you saying IDF didn't kill a lot of innocents in Gaza?

Why does one event matter so much to you? I didn't even bring this event up, just expressed my opinion about it.
I think other comments have already answered this. But in the back of my mind I imagine if companies abused it much worse than they did, they would've gotten much more unwarranted attention, and it was already deeply hated amongst tech savvy people and ISPs are already some of the most hated companies in general. Taking advantage while they could have would have dug that hole yet even deeper and would only make it more likely that a law would be created sooner rather than later making it illegal, so it just wasn't worth the investment on any meaningful scale.
I don't have the expertise to quickly mine your genome for the juicy bits, so I'll have to trust that you've seen what's there and still couldn't see how any of that information could ever be used to prejudice someone against you, or reveal anything that could be exploited either today, or at any point in the future.

It's a bold position, especially given that we're still discovering what many of our genes signify. While I do worry that it may rise to the level of hubris in this case, I really have to admire your confidence all the same. I genuinely hope that your assessment of your risk is proven accurate with time and that your contribution to the Personal Genome Project never comes back to haunt you.

Hashing algorithms and checksums work on bytes, not characters.
Another application is to use the LLM to build an embeddings database, and then do semantic search only within that database. Don't just let the LLM talk about whatever it wants to hallucinate up, force it to use a set of known good answers while accepting natural language input and summarizing documents in the known good dataset.

If it didn’t have some other appeal the theft would never have led to the worldwide appeal of the painting. The theft may have kickstarted the recognition but this painting has something special about it, the woman, her expression, there’s a mystery about it.

I loved the painting before I ever knew it was stolen.

I think it’s fair to say there is something about this painting that isn’t in many other works or most other works, and it’s a human and psychological quality more than some special painting technique.

But it really must go beyond gas prices, or the Toyota Prius, which has been around for 10+ years now, would be and would have been more popular in China. Chinese gas prices have always been high (much higher than the USA) while taxi/ride share prices have always been low (much lower than the USA).

It's probably not worth it to add in a whole bunch of BS just to try to make a bit more money in maybe Fl and Tx.

Especially given the fact that it's not as straightforward as it seems - and legal consequences could easily outweigh any benefits.

On top of that, I'd be surprised if ISPs tried to throttle traffic even in Fl and Tx and people in those states didn't pressure their government to ban it as well.

Net neutrality is wildly popular with the public.

Here in Eastern Europe we are thankful for private healthcare every day - the state-run socialized healthcare literally kills. Recently there was a case of a senior citizen left without a simple oxygen tank until he was braindead - just because the state employees did not give a crap.

Hospitals look like in the First World War movies. Every little thing (like toilet paper or soap in the communal bathroom) is missing. You have to buy your own medicine and bring consumables with you... I could go on.

I was working somewhere earlier this year that was thinking about going into micro frontends. To me the frameworks seemed pretty immature. I had perhaps naively thought when I first heard about micro frontends that they would be a bunch of iframes that you could compose together on a page, each with its own data fetching logic and thus reuse stuff that was otherwise totally disparate. But someone pointed out some practical difficulties of doing this and I agree it would be quite tough to pull off. It seemed like micro frontends just were trying to get the benefits of a monorepo but with everything in separate repos. And then having some complicated build logic so that hypothetical team could be working in angular 2 and hypothetical team b could be working in react and they could harmoniously mingle their work, in page divided blocks. i.e. at least as it was proposed where I was you couldn't mix and match components on a page, it was just 'route a will use one micro fe, route b will be another'. I'm wondering is this how micro fe is actually done? To me it seems pretty hackneyed and basic, not to mention if you wanted to do this monorepo would be more suitable.
It took effort to omit that information, so the omission is probably covering over data that doesn't support the article.

The actual useful social part of Facebook really only needs about 5 minutes per day to keep up with: who has a birthday, who's kid did some cute thing, who is where on vacation, and similar things. They need you to spend hours on Facebook to make money though, and that means adding things to keep you on despite not being what they do well.
No they did not. I was following this very closely as it happened. Obviously I don’t remember the exact phrasing, but at least Reuters had put in their headline wording similar to “Israel bombs Gaza Hospital, killing 500”.

In the text it was less clear, but the damage was done.
I lost all respect for Reuters because of this.

I know, because I was arguing on Reddit(person has since deleted their comments, because they were spreading FAKE NEWS) while it was happening.

PHP Type Alias
i was kinda wondering maybe it's worth it to write an RFC on PHP type alias. this will be really useful in the sense of maintenance, re-usability, readability and many more..

```
<?php

type T = bool|int;

type Result = string;

function greeting(T $input): Result {
return match() {

true, 1 => 'hello user :) ',

false, 2 => 'good-bye user'
}

}

```

What's your opinion on this?

It's also made for hard to port python2 code. I have a dozen line python2 script I use regularly that a dozen python experts have thrown up their hands on easily porting to python3 - I'll probably just rework it in something else, like rust (not in the least since I don't want to write it in python anyway).

Then there's https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2020/01/13/mercurial%27s-journ... where he comments that the design choices of python3 forced implementing a large portion of core themselves and that had rust been a bit more mature they probably would just have migrated to that instead.

Well, if there would be one accepted dependency management tool / environment, it would make things easier at least.

For example, despite all the problems of JS, new devs don't need to create a virtual environment and activate it all the time. They don't need to manually add lines to a requirements.txt, or pick a tool like poetry or pip env [1]

Perhaps open source would be better if we had less people like this willing to fund proprietary development while writing hate pieces towards open source.
"Disrupting" this is quite a challenge due to the nature of the service and the logistics around this type of freight. You either pay for someone to drive it which will be on an ad hoc basis when someone is available and interested or you pay to ship it on a Class 8 hauled flatbed or car trailer.

A possible brokerage opportunity would be to inquire with Carvana or Carmax if you can buy slots on their cross country shipments as capacity allows, and sell those to customers. You'll be at the mercy of their schedules and capacity, but could be a service tier along with other more "white glove" services (dedicated driver "hot shot", semi shipment, etc). You could also buy capacity on freight rail cars shipping back empty to factories (depending on destination and routing). High touch biz, beware, there be dragons.
Are you talking about the police?
It still doesn't seem to have an understanding of the "logic" of certain structures. I asked it for a photorealistic image of a Vekoma Boomerang roller coaster, which has a very specific layout and type of track. Not only did it generate images with far more intricate sets layouts than a boomerang would ever have, it also still generates pieces of track that don't connect to anything. Like, it has a general sense of what a photo of a roller coaster looks like, but none of the specific details that make a coaster work.

I next asked for a diagram of a diverging diamond interchange, and it came up with 4 images that looked like 3D models of interchanges on a white background, but none of them were diverging diamonds.

I'm going to experiment with describing the thing I want to see in more detail, to see of Dall-E 3 can make a nice image out of it.

You're being downvoted but you might be right. This is a classic case of your model only being as good as your training data, and of that being really really hard to get right unless you're intimately familiar with the data, its context in the world, and how it was collected/cleaned/processed.
It’s just lack of aesthetic talent, while competent images they’re very tacky looking. It’s not fundamental to AI because if you know what you’re doing you can push it to interesting aesthetics.

My example wasn't rhetorical. Finding out political affiliations via these searches is exactly the concern.

The problem is creating boundaries that prevent that kind of behavior from law enforcement.

As long as police are rarely punished for crossing lines we should minimize expanding their tooling whenever possible.

It wouldn’t be as famous as it is if it didn’t have something remarkable about it. Art is about creating emotion in people and whether you think it has good “aesthetics” or not, the Mona Lisa captures people’s imaginations almost more than any other painting in the world.

For me there is a mystery and secret in the Mona Lisa which doesn’t exist in other paintings that might show great “skill” and in the end, art is about emotional impact, not what some critic thinks is “skillful”
