My objection is the criteria is likely arbitrary and capricious and have more to do with ideologies of the sorts of people designing and executing this than public safety.

Maybe the AI is better, maybe it is worse. On some occasions CBP just takes a good look at you for whiteness or whatever and just waives you through without even opening the passport; other days you end up with your car in 1500 pieces. It's mostly voodoo.
At one point I had to run a script on a substantial portion of their server fleet (like hundreds of thousands machines) and I remember I ran it with a pssh-style utility from desktop (was 10y ago so dunno if they still use this). It was surprisingly quick to do it this way. Could’ve been something like that
Afaik its allowed with R2.
Interestingly I, kind of, have the opposite problem, so to speak.

I recently moved to a foreign country, admittedly an "easy" western European country, and I fully expected my credit cards to start refusing more or less every transaction. Not so. Not a single transaction has been delayed, or denied.

I travel back and forth my home country and my new home semi-regularly with no issues with using my credit cards. I'm not sure this is a good thing either.
I'm pretty sure with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) it's actually destroying the chromophores in blood (among other things), not dissolving stuff.

Put differently, it breaks up the stain molecules into smaller molecules and causes other reactions that change them, it doesn't just dissolve them. You can dissolve resinous stuff with various solvents, you're right about that. Stays mostly the same, just goes into solution.
Hi, one of the creators of Django here (and of the admin specifically).

It was definitely not intended to be ugly — the first version was designed by Wilson Miner, a great designer. In fact, an argument could be made that a key reason for Django's early success was that the admin was so nicely designed. Same goes for the framework's website in general; the standard open-source project website in that era was really plain and uninspiring.

To answer "Why is the Django admin ugly?", I think there are two separate issues:

* A gradual bolting on of admin features without enough thought given to visual consistency and elegance. Particularly, the left sidebar (in the screenshot of the original article) was a later addition and looks unpolished.

* A misunderstanding of the Django admin's goals. It's meant to be for "internal use" — that is, it's meant to be used by people who operate your website, not by people who visit your website. Ever since we open-sourced Django, many people (through either laziness or lack of understanding) misunderstood the point of the Django admin, thinking it's meant to be for end users. It is not and never was.
Ford pauses a $12B EV investment, after saying EVs are too expensive
What can we learn from France's most controversial businessman?
Walmart shoppers are uniquely incapable of existing in an area without being in the way. I've not experienced anything like it in any other store. It's like they're constantly trying to take up as much space as possible.

Between that and Walmart having narrower aisles than most stores, the place feels busy even when there aren't many people in it.

Also, the workers and shoppers alike all seem depressed, which is another thing I've not experienced in any other store. Walmart's weird, sickly lighting and color scheme probably don't help.

It's a miserable place to be in. Mood instantly plummets on entering. Combo of the seemingly intended-to-make-you-feel-bad design, and the people.

It's not even just a poor-people thing. Aldi is fine. Dollar General isn't as depressing. Plus, wal mart didn't used to be so bad, but that was like 20 years ago.
But still training hand eye coordination and reflexes even if it is “dry practice” is super useful and F1 drivers do that which is also much cheaper than training on track.

Every sport uses “dry practice “ anyway. So you argue like punching bag is useless because it does not punch back boxers still do that.
Actually residue from fancy dish soaps is known to be a gut irritant, see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009167492...

For this reason, I stick to either first-generation soap (made by saponification) or simple surfactants.

In general, as a precautionary principle, it is always good to stick to simple products that have been around for a long time.
There are an awful lot of sculptures/paintings, etc. about the sixth sorrow of mary, and most are pretty interchangeable, imo.

I wonder if the difference with tiktok is that there are thousands of videos about the same thing, everyone sees a few of those thousands, but they see a different few. So even though we're sharing the feeling, culturally, we're not sharing the same artifact.

Like maybe the trouble is that tiktok puts each user into their own custom bubble, and the bubble the user finds themself in is completely opaque - you can't readily compare what you're seeing to what your friends are seeing?
Adrian Newey, the man who designed the car Senna was driving, gave this quote: ” The honest truth is that no one will ever know exactly what happened. There’s no doubt the steering column failed and the big question was whether it failed in the accident or did it cause the accident? It had fatigue cracks and would have failed at some point. There is no question that its design was very poor. However, all the evidence suggests the car did not go off the track as a result of steering column failure… If you look at the camera shots, especially from Michael Schumacher’s following car, the car didn’t understeer off the track. It oversteered which is not consistent with a steering column failure.

On the topic of rice and arsenic, a method of parboiling can greatly reduce the amount, useful if one eats a lot of rice: https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-say-this-rice-cookin...
>Yes, you are correct. But regarding item 3, a derivative of the rate of CO2 level change, if the car is decelerating isn't the linear graph should become straight or start curving down? So lets say very roughly:

The car is holding speed or slightly slowing, but we are still getting further from home every day.

Constant co2 emission would make atmospheric levels look like straight line with a constant slope upwards.

Decreasing but positive Co2 emission would make atmospheric levels look like a line going up that gradually flattens out to a constant level.

Something like this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=y%3D+%281%2B1%2Fx%29%5E...

It is only when you have negative acceleration that the atmospheric level line curves down. This would mean we are sucking more CO2 out than we are putting in. This would mean that the car is not only going slower, but we are now in reverse, and getting closer to home.

You dont need to plot your own numbers, that same website has it here.
https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/mlo.html

The idea is that if you zoom in on the last 5-10 years of the the plot, it ISNT curving up, but a straight line, or maybe even climbing more slowly.
It's called functional programming.

Coworkers don't hate it it's more readable in general to split between map and reduce and forego looping.

It's less readable to use reduce for all looping even though technically you can.

Ask HN: YC Safe Style Documents for MSAs (Service Agreements)?
One of the larger pain points of being a startup acquired by a public company is the re-negotiation of service agreements with the dozens of SaaS services we rely upon.

If our spend is high enough, typically the vendor is willing to work with us. If it's not, well, they're not - and I don't blame them.

Do any standards exist akin to the YC Safe Financing Documents (https://www.ycombinator.com/documents) that would help SaaS vendors and large companies find common ground?

Or, is the back and forth term-by-term between two attorneys always going to be needed due to the nuances of privacy, security, indemnity, etc?

If this area interests you, I'm willing to work on it.
1) Be wary of companies that try and use take-home tests for free labor. According to Glassdoor reviews, ClipboardHealth is one that comes to mind that is allegedly notorious for this.

2) Asking for a "take-home" challenge before even having a 10-15 minute phone conversation and seeing if the position might be a mutual fit is incredibly disrespectful. I understand that getting a good job might involve jumping through some hoops, but asking for that as the initial contact in a recruitment process is incredibly scammy feeling and disrespectful.

Okra is vaguely related to cacao, and you can process the seeds to some sort of ersatz substance with similar flavor compounds, but it lacks the saturated fats with a melting point similar to human body temperature that makes chocolate interesting.
I'm not ignoring the software stack, I just don't see any value in the additional vendor lock in on it. I'd rather use open source stuff developed by a large community of people and not a single small vendor tied to a very specific and limited hardware stack.
> Hosting and fine-tuning LLMs for such a specific and simple machine learning problem may be overkill, especially in terms of costs and time for experimentation.

Yes, thank you! I think a lot of companies have lost the plot jumping to LLMs when they aren't necessary. Recipies are a pretty small search space. You don't really need an LLM to understand the questions being asked.
It would say that depends on the country and how they phrase their laws. But ok, quite likely, is it not literal theft, by law. But those discussions are also not about the literal usage of the word, but the spirit and understanding of the act.
somehow reminds me of this silly AI cooking show: https://www.twitch.tv/gptv_1/v/1940634313
perhaps it means that "some aspects of (human) life on Earth are recognized as fundamental -- by definition they are beyond politics, and beyond any current versions of laws in any written human language" so .. the US Constitution is saying explicitly (using words including diety) .. we recognize that human law is not enough to fairly and completely spell out rights .. therefore these OTHER rights are "inalienable"
> It's common to blame the move from Twitter on Elon's politics. And that's perfectly valid. I moved away for a much simpler reason.

The bulk of the people I follow (mostly authors, journalists, and geeks) have moved off or drastically reduced their activity on Twitter and it's almost entirely due to Elon's politics and the changes he's making in support of that world view.

Managing Postgres, even via containers is not so simple. Upgrades between major versions will still need a backup+restore for eg.

I noticed that the author is using ZFS-native encryption, which in my experience is not particularly stable. I've even managed to corrupt an entire pool with ZFS send/receives when trying to make backups. I'd strongly recommend using ZFS-on-LUKS instead if encryption is required.

The list of open issues on GitHub in the native encryption component is quite telling: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue...

PEG is in vape cartridges as a solvent. I’ve read the rationalization that “food grade” PEG is probably safe there because doctors use PEG to help with organ transplants, but missing from such a simple analysis is that you end up breathing PEG into your lungs with a vape pen, certainly different than anything studied thus far with organ transplants. Can’t be good, man. I mean, like all our other exposure to low-grade toxicity, it won’t kill you by itself, but I’m not interested in being a beta tester for inhaled PEG.

Anyway, maybe this is a more common route for PEG exposure besides Miralax.
You know what's interesting about the Declaration of Independence?

It's superseded by The Constitution, the actual foundation for all American laws.

It's a nice thing Americans are proud of, but for example, The Supreme Court can't cite in a ruling, unless it's also in-line with The Constitution.
People are, in fact, concerned about it, although some studies suggest that the types of surfactants used in rinse aid are worse than the kinds used to wash dishes:

> I think some people are missing the conflict of interest because the author blurs the lines between his personal opinion and his business.

No, what's going on is that you don't understand what "conflict of interest" refers to.

Different people having different interests, as when the apple company says you should buy apples even though you prefer oranges, is just a regular conflict. A conflict of interest is when one person has two different interests. The apple company isn't experiencing a conflict in your example.
"authenticity", "attention economy", "engagement"... This is just stirring the turds around in the cesspool.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine release a 600-page report:

> Addressing climate change is essential and possible, and it offers a host of benefits - from better public health to new economic opportunities. The United States has a historic opportunity to lead the way in decarbonization by transforming its current energy system to one with net-zero emissions of carbon dioxide. Recent legislation has set the nation on the path to reach its goal of net zero by 2050 in order to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. However, even if implemented as designed, current policy will get the United States only part of the way to its net-zero goal.

High quality chocolate has a ton of different flavours in it. It’s extremely complex. Just like coffee, tea, wine, beer, vanilla, spirits, cheese, mushrooms (and so on; basically any luxury food). We can’t synthesize what makes these things taste good because it isn’t just one compound, it’s thousands.

Even something very basic you can make at home, such as caramel, can’t be synthesized. From a very simple precursor (white sugar aka sucrose) you apply heat and the result is thousands of complex molecules. This is why caramel tastes good (like an actual food) but plain white sugar tastes pretty bad (because it’s just an ingredient).
there's also evidence that sugar consumption in the usa a century ago was already high, and the hadza famously eat mostly honey in july and august, so i think that while sugar is probably a contributor, it's probably not sufficient by itself

it would be pretty surprising to find that, say, propionate intake suppressing intestinal yeast growth was a major cause of the obesity pandemic. but it certainly seems to be something about industrial food manufacturing that goes beyond just caloric density and macronutrient balance, and additives seem like a promising place to look

i mean the village baker a century ago didn't put calcium propionate in his bread so it wouldn't get moldy, he just threw the moldy bread out

...yes, those are also poorly regarded:

- Facebook honestly mostly seems orthogonal to open source concerns

- Apple most certainly does get criticized for the incompatibility of their App Store with copyleft licenses, and the way they deliberately avoid GPLv3

- Amazon is the poster child for bad interactions with the open source ecosystem

- Netflix... honestly I don't know of any problems aside from DRM (and I'm pretty sure that's imposed on them, not really their choice)

- Google is absolutely criticized on a regular basis for how they interact with the wider community

Though of course even if your claim were correct, it wouldn't really matter; whataboutism is a bad argument because two bad actors isn't zero bad actors

I mean if you can cook already you can do whatever you want. I could make a decent meal from a recipe in a language I don't speak just off a handful of cognates. Doesn't mean I followed the recipe in a meaningful sense.

When I've looked at gpt recipes they've had some pretty deranged proportions and you'd be in trouble following them precisely. If you just need a list of ingredients and a loose technique though eg "tofu & cashew stir fry with soy sauce and garlic" then ya sure I mean absolutely.

> Conversely, when real artists struck chords with large groups of people, it was because they stumbled upon something unique that many people shared.

Shakespeare has exactly this going on too, though. He contributed like a thousand neologisms to English that actually stuck. That probably doesn't happen unless your art is a bit like science, almost "discovering" something in the collective unconcious rather than an act of invention. When that happens, you have something that's new/unique but also something that is deep/universal. Cubism and surrealism are also like this

This is exactly how I feel. I want it to actually be helpful.

It needs to be able to:

- track what I have (if I have input that data) and how soon anything may expire

- track what I made but haven't finished eating (just a few quick pictures in the fridge should update that as needed, or maybe it's time we all get that Alton Brown in-fridge camera to talk to)

- can I use this in something else? How long should it still be good? Etc...

- track my health/nutrition goals

- track what I've already eaten (again, the onus is on me to make sure that data is there) so it can help me follow my health/nutrition goals

- track local grocery store fliers for deals (I do this on my own with the app Flipp and save a ton of money, but if the AI could handle that... that'd be great)

- tracking local grocery store prices would be great too, but unlikely. They need us to come into the store for hopeful impulsive purchasing

- I'm sure there are more things

Not saying this is remotely simple to pull off... just what I would want in an AI that is helping me with recipes and food. I can't wait until we can utilize it for things like that.
