not all processed foods are healthy, but also not all raw foods are healthy either. most of the issues with processed foods are with the ultra-processed foods, those foods that are manufactured into a food product with minimal or no cooking required. and there's the stuff like iodine or niacin fortification and pasteurization, which we know has had systemic positive effects on nutrition.

there's also where exactly you draw the line for processing. fermentation is like the oldest food preservation method we have (kimchi, cheese): is that processing? the raw diet people even believe cooking of any time is processing.
The full bible text is embedded and searchable. The summary from Anthropics Claude API returns non-deterministic results though! What was the search context? The prompt could probably be tuned further to work-around its "comfort" level here.
Sure, and any petrol engine can run on 78 RON fuel to. It's just that if you try to run it at full power you'll blow it up. Wee bit of a problem on takeoff.

Same thing with running certain large piston airplane engines on 100. They blow up.

> There are several options that involve no lead, generally substituting with ethanol

Ethanol is corrosive to aluminum. Thankfully airplane designers have never used aluminum in airplanes...
The point is there is a big difference between "legal consequences" and the "legally allowed consequences" I described.

I think sympathy strikes are legal in Sweden. That makes them a legally allowed consequence. If I understand the Denmark McDonald's case correctly, then the Swedish equivalent of the Teamsters could decide to not deliver parts to a Tesla repair shop.

> Everything seems to indicate that strikebreakers are legal in Sweden.

Yes. Why is it so important to only look at what the law says about strikebreakers? There's also the overall economics.

As I understand it, in the US you can fire someone on strike and replace them with a permanent worker, so long as it is justified economically and not due "anti-union animus" - and the latter is hard to prove.

As I understand it, going on strike in Sweden not considered grounds for terminating the employment.

So if the employer hires a strike breaker - which is legal! - then once the worker ends the strike, the Swedish employer must continue to employ the worker and the strike breaker, under much stronger employee protections than in the US. That makes it expensive to hire strike breakers.

This makes the US a much easier place to use strikebreakers, even before considering its combination with anti-worker laws like Taft-Hartley.
Well it's more like Google is victim of rent seeking. Pay me $26b or Bing will be the default. Google has clear first choice preference across a large swathe of the market.
Being born in 1981 and having used wintel machines until 2003 when I ‘switched’ to Apple Mac, it’s fascinating to watch the x86 architecture (finally) be challenged and the postfix of the portmanteau be called into question. I remember ogling at RISC architectures as a teen (I was fascinated by the IBM RS/6000 and eventually acquired a BeBox) and guys, it’s been a long time coming.
Show HN: Create cross-platform apps from Python (PyQt5) using pyqtdeploy
Hi everyone,

I am the developer who started the "simple-pyqt5-android-app" repo.

The main reason for starting this repo is so that I can create cross-platform apps (i.e. including mobile apps), only using Python (and especially PyQt5). I have been dealing with Qt a bit and I found that it was the most suited tool to create multi-platform applications and GUI {Graphical User Interface} programs thanks to its versatily and great support.

After researching existing tools, I realised that there was no tool that would help me generate cross-platform apps from a single python source code (written with PyQt5). I would often get redirected to Pyside and its PyInstaller (https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/deployment-pyinstaller.html#), but it didn't seem to support all mobile platforms well and its compilation process looked rather daunting. I would also get redirected to Kivy and Beeware, but they are not relying on the Qt framework so I moved away from these. Eventually, I found pyqtdeploy (https://pypi.org/project/pyqtdeploy/) which is a tool to deploy PyQt applications (as explained here: https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqtdeploy/intro).

After experimenting with pyqtdeploy, I realised that the public support for this tool was almost inexistant. Even blogs and github repos do not explain how to use this tool. One reason might be that pyqtdeploy is more aimed at commercial applications, but I think it is a great tool to develop prototype apps and share them freely as open-source projects (under the GPL {General Public License} restrictions). Anyway, I decided to start the creation of a repo that would show people how to use pyqtdeploy (which I have not developed), and here I am.

The title of the repo feels like it is targeting android apps only, but the aim is to be able to also create iOS apps and Win / Linux apps from the same python source code.

Currently, I have created/found examples on how to add the following capabilities to your prototype apps:
* SQL database
* Graphics playground
* Network (WIP)

If you wish to setup your Linux machine (or your Virtual Machine environment) to give a try with the repo, I can only recommend you to follow the README.

Feedback on the topic is also very welcomed.
> ChatGPT knows a good answer to the question even without embedding

ChatGPT knows what people in its training corpus commonly say is a good answer.

When you force it to look strictly at the text isolating the influence of popular interpretation, it comes up with a different answer that you like less.

Now, one explanation could be that the embeddings it uses to find relevant text are bad. But there’s another explanation, too...
But there is hilariously due process that probably protects those opinions once you've already snuck in.

It's a wonder why people put themselves through the hassle of legal immigration where they have basically no rights, when they could just sneak in and be covered by most civil rights and entitled due process in the unlikely event they do something dumb or unlucky enough to get caught.
Antimetal Cluster: Instant Access to AWS H100 Instances
Hey hn, Antimetal ceo here.

Over the last few months, we’ve received requests from dozens of startups to help them get access to GPUs on AWS.

AWS gives priority to larger players (hugging face, anthropic, etc) and existing partners (Antimetal is an AWS ISV Accelerate partner, so we have easy access).

To fix the problem, we started providing ad hoc access to gpus for customers of Antimetal before realizing that there was an opportunity to support other ai/ml startups building on AWS.

This is not a polished product, but we'll continue to implement customer feedback as fast as possible,

If you have any questions or comments, reply in thread and I’ll make sure to respond.
My friend has a restrictive diet for health reasons (can't eat certain greens, no gluten, etc) and decided to use ChatGPT to come up with a dessert for her dinner party. It was honestly one of the worst things I've ever tried. She verified that the recipe wasn't regurgitated from another source so it was all ChatGPT's doing.
Paying to be default is not anti competitive.

Good grief. At the end of the day some orders will be arbitrary.
Other examples come to mind:

* Dedicated Netflix button on TV remotes (you can't even change this)

* SiriusXM bundled (with free trial) with car stereos
So, if you're complaining about this in an HN comment, that means you reported it to the NIH, right? Because "kickbacks" are not a common thing, friend.
I get your point but olive oil is nowhere near as prevalent as sugar. Some products even market themselves as "premium" for containing olive oil.
It's actually fucked-up that I totally forgot about this until writing this post. I find that my brain tries to erase a lot of the shit I've been through and block it out.

I'm a serial litigant and I should have sued. You have a one year statute of limitation on most torts here in Illinois, so I've blown past that, but on federal constitutional violations the SoL is 2 years, so I could still sue for that and get relief. I'll have to think about it since I am very weary and litigation takes literally years, and often more than a decade. I'm years into litigation with the same police dept. right now about another constitutional violation and it is just 100-page motions each way every month and it gets very tiring. Millions of dollars of lawyer fees just to avoid paying $10K settlement on a case they have already lost.
>Instead, many of those functions are performed by software development teams.

And they likely won’t be as good as dedicated SRE teams.

But few businesses care about that right now considering layoffs.

Throwing developers at a problem even if it isn’t in their skill set is an industry trend that won’t go away and be more pronounced during downturns.

Full stack developers are a great example of rolling two roles together without twice the pay.
They need to focus more on their product, in the spirit that made Firefox excellent when it was first released.

I sadly just switched back to chrome after 3 years using fire fox.
Agreed. Thank you.
Now it's utterly useless and completely down. :(
> I'm reading tea leaves here, but my guess as to why she was never hired is that she was deemed "unable to get grants".

Rest assured, this is exactly what happened. University administrators have no expertise, interest, or motivation to identify and invest in promising research direction - they outsource this task to funding agencies. The only signal universities are extremely skillful in reading is dollar amounts.

I do not necessarily criticize this setup. Think of a research university as a start-up accelerator of sorts. Its main task is to give resources to secure sources of funding, not provide funds themselves.
This is a strawman. I don't think anybody was claiming the laws are immutable. The document referenced was the Constitution, which has very specific processes related to the very opposite point.

What is being brought up, and seems to be lost on many, is that the law that governs copyright has an underlying principle that is not addressed in the video in discussion. That video seems to have an erroneous view of the intent of the law. As a consequent, the position in the video isn't particularly valid.
Thanks! The tool has a built in certificate authority (CA) to generate TLS certificates. So to intercept TLS traffic from a phone, you export the CA's root certificate and import it onto your phone. If you're on PC, you can also launch a browser preconfigured to intercept traffic.

This is the standard pattern for these kinds of tools.

As it's not always a straightforward process for people who haven't done it before, there's instructions for a variety of platforms in the documentation: https://docs.pakikiproxy.com/#/getting_started/intercepting

Definitely public works would be more affordable if real estate and rents weren't being artificially inflated. Because a big part of the cost is acquiring rights and labor costs.
I'd prefer to try to not associate my user with some personal data. But thanks for the interest!
A complementary story to the one about Karikó is one about a researcher in Texas who, prior to the pandemic, kept getting his grant proposals for a coronavirus vaccine denied because "no one cares about coronaviruses".

I'd link to articles about it but right now searching for anything having to do with Texas, coronavirus, and vaccine, is buried in articles about Texas vaccine politics.

But you're right — Karikó's story is textbook, prototypical, and its strength is its greatest weakness, that it's almost abnormally illuminated. We never know about all the other stories out there that aren't lucky enough to be exposed so clearly.

No, around here it's better to say "So dependent types are pretty much $SOMETHING_COMPLETLY_WRONG ?" and wait for all the "corrections" (aka Cunningham's law someone linked to nearby).

There is now a legal alternative. Working as intended.
I'm not entirely sure if it is the case here, but many tools that intercept TLS have you trust a certificate in the OS or browser level that they then use as a MITM on the proxy to be able to decrypt the requests
Carbon is either a pollutant, or it's not. It's either good to put into the atmosphere, or it's not. All you can hope with a carbon tax is to shift the problem around without really accomplishing anything.
Early vs recent 90 Day Fiancé(e) seasons are night and day for this reason. The latest season of Love is Blind features a lot of contestants pointing the "you're here for clout" finger at one another, as though violating the academic integrity of their (self-styled) experiment was beyond the pale.
Great points. I think fundamentally you and I have different operating definitions of authenticity.

Though I do want to clarify

> The systemization of everything (through what you call "radical self-expression") is creating a bunch of pseudo-intellectual naval gazing

That's not my term, it's a burner term, and has nothing to do with systematization. The Ten Principles are a set of descriptive (not proscriptive) observations about what makes a Burn different from other festival-like gatherings [0].

> fundamentally a simple topic. Authentic people are honest people. You can often tell right away who is lying and who is not. The computer in your head has hundreds of thousands of years of evolution to help you with that.

This is probably the neurospicy rearing it's head. I understand what you mean about "fundamentally a simple topic". But in a lot of ways, it's not simple. To a first order approximation, yes "honesty about who you are" is tantamount to authenticity. Because for most folks, "who you are" is a fairly fixed concept, so being honest (or dishonest) about it is straightforward. But I don't think having a fixed concept of self is a universal experience. For me, (when I'm at my full potential) I'm able to select and deselect attributes of myself to express.

Tl;dr - "masking" making defining "authenticity" challenging for neurodivergent folks.

It's about increasing the compression ratio without self-ignition. High compression ratios mean higher power for the same weight, and airplanes are all about minimizing weight. You also get higher efficiency. Again, lower fuel weight = good.

You can dump as much fuel in the cylinder as you want (in fact, most airplane operating handbooks call for a very rich mixture on takeoff because of the cooling effect).
It's actually incredibly useful to have apps like window managers or apps that rely on manipulating user input like xcape read another apps data. In fact such are still possible just 10x as complicated as they now involve writing awful little programs in some combination of c and yaml instead of a dead simple single line shell invocation of a program.

See https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools

The fact that this can work at all seems to suggest that its just as possible for malicious code running as user to compromise your security and the only thing actually broken is useful apps.
I hate this kind of reasoning. It comes up a lot

“My wife is a would-be immigrant so I am sympathetic”

Or sometimes

“My partner is half X So I understand discrimination against X”

Or even sometimes

“I am in category Y so there’s no way I can hate people in category Y”

I don’t think that line of reasoning makes sense. People often times carve out mental exemptions for people close to them that they care about, not for everyone in the same category. Further more, it is totally possible to love a person but not every quality about them. Also just because you are close to someone doesn’t mean you understand entirely their struggles
Indeed. I always assumed it’s intended in a “let’s have nice things and improve life for humans” way.

"Easement" is a term that means this [1]. You can give someone an easement allowing them to use your property somehow, and you can make the offer contingent on something in return, such as payment. It's a type of contract and not uncommon to see for things like utilities or nature preserves.

After playing around with it for a few minutes, all of the results scored between 0.5 and 0.8 even when using nonsense queries like "interdimensional cable" and "eat my plumbus" which is a sign that the model you're using for embeddings is very poorly tuned for cosine similarity for your use case.

A little fine tuning would probably go a long way since the embeddings are likely trained mostly on a nonreligious corpus in the modern tongue. It might also be overfitted so trying smaller models might also help.
What does cheap mean? Think it's a great idea, just boils down to the pricing model for us
I don't see anything wrong with GPT's answer other than pedantic quibbling. I just don't like it because I don't want to share this space with non-humans.

The hardest part for me when building a HN reader was getting each article metadata to render the meta image / descriptions. I know the main site doesn’t do this, but my favorite iOS hn reader app (Octal) does this so I’m used to it and quite like it.

I wanted to do it all locally / serverless but I struggled to find a good client friendly library for parsing meta tags that was 0 deps and typed so I wound up making a cloudflare worker to bypass cors and manually streamed the html to extract and parse the head element with a bit of regex and elbow grease.

It worked out, but I wish the HN api would cache and provide that stuff once to save the authors from the extra load of all the clients like mine that need to make extra requests to each articles home page.
The problem is that many 'useful things' are predicated on past discoveries that weren't particularly useful at the time they were made. That's why government (an organization with a particularly large risk tolerance) is a good mechanism for paying for fundamental science. I think the dichotomous thinking of public/private is more harmful than helpful.
It would be a shame if the formula were to "leak" accidentally, resulting in commercialization taking place in another country with looser IP laws, and saving thousands of people's lives in the process.

Thanks for the information. Last week when HN was praising Kagi, almost to the point of saying it had no faults whatsoever, I wondered if they were just blinding themselves to obvious flaws in the application. Disappointing, from this community that is usually so critical.

His/Her primary assertion is that it is impossible for a LLM to generate novel recipes without physically tasting it first. His/her assertion is wrong and one easily corrected by understanding a LLM is and does.

It's not a perfect predictor so it's not impeccable for all conceivable situations but GPT-4 can already generate novel recipes that taste nice. This is not some far flung science fiction ability.
>Formal spec bugs happen, but they're quite rare

A lot of specs bugs happen all the time. If you think people can account for all edge cases in massively complex projects you are wrong. There are many behaviors that you can't predict will be nonsensical ahead of time until you actually hit them.

Formal verification is not a silver bullet. Despite all of the extra effort bugs will still happen. It's better to invest in making things safe by default, or by aborting when getting into a bad state.

Part of the first amendment, specifically assembly and petitioning grievances is explicitly qualified to the 'people'. Aliens are not generally considered the 'people' in the US, as evidenced by them not being allowed arms which are the right of (even individual per Heller) people.
This is really not that onerous.

Anyone commercial already has to go in for 100hr inspections all the damn time. The STC is unlikely to cost much relative to that, nor to add much additional hassle.

Anyone private can deal with it, they own their own plane and knew it wasn’t going to be a cheap hobby going in.

G100UL will cost a bit more than 100LL but it seems likely this will change a bit as it becomes more widely used.

I guess it puts people operating midcentury radials that haven’t yet been certified for G100UL in a weird spot.
