I had the AstraZeneca vaccine and I was very sick for a week (I couldn't get out of bed and had 39+ Celsius fever) and for a month it was hard for me to walk to the nearby grocery store. The Pfizer vaccine, the second for me, was only slightly better.

Half a year after the vaccines, I had irregular heart beats, at one point more than thousand a day. It's a horrible experience, because even when I had only tens of irregular heart beats a day, I could feel most of them. Now imagine that a thousand times a day, especially knowing that cardiovascular issues are a common side effect.

And I still didn't report anything (Germany) as I don't believe anyone would come out of it. Not to be too cynical, but the Russia-Ukraine war "cured" COVID in Europe, so apart from staying alive and not taking anymore vaccines myself, I didn't care about the issue as I was no longer forced to take further "vaccines" to be a free man.

In the end, there are arguments both for these systems under reporting (cases like mine and many variations of it) and over reporting (in a comment someone mentioned that people maliciously report things or just in general people noticing small things and reporting that as side effect), and it's hard to come up with a sound estimation as to which one is the reality.
Do you not understand my subpoint on how the "economy" isn't being connected back to daily life of the average american citizen, and when we do connect it back we can easily see how the numbers are being manipulated ?

There is no meaningful evidence that the election was rigged by any party. That's why nobody has brought any forward.

> the results of the first study don’t match my recollection and experience at all.

30 years ago you had some anecdotal impressions. 30 years ago the researchers had a hypothesis, focused on this exact question, designed an experiment, and collected evidence. (And many since have found it valid.) 30 years later, we have a detailed written report of their experience, and your 30-year old memory as posted on HN.

It's just too easy to say, 'that's not my experience' without evidence. Everything is 'debunked' on that basis. Now we have 30 year old memories too.
> And we are still putting CO2 into the atmosphere while arguing the “potential” dangers of nuclear!

We're building renewable generation capacity at a far greater speed (as said, Germany alone > 1GW a month...) than we ever could using nuclear power. This in turn enables us to shift residential and commercial heating to heat pumps - even assuming a gas power plant, 1 kWh of electric power replaces 4 kWh of heat power.
Have you ever watched a speech by Hitler? I think most people haven't. If you do you'll immediately and viscerally understand how wrong that whole analysis is, and then wonder how such an inaccurate idea was able to take hold. Hitler was a terrible orator by any modern standard you might care to pick.

Consider for a second - can you off the top of your head recall any famous quotes by Hitler? Any catchphrases, any uniquely powerful passages from his speeches? This isn't a high bar, there have been leaders throughout history whose speeches are still famous today. Churchill managed it, for example. Probably the answer is no. That's not because his speeches have been suppressed by people terrified of the amazing mind-bending power of his words. It's because his speeches contain nothing worth quoting.

To double check this I asked GPT-4 to give me the top 5 most famous quotes from speeches of his, and the first quote it returned was actually by Goebbels (which isn't a surprise because his lieutenants were better at this), two of the rest were duplicates and none of them were actually from speeches. Also it seems several are in doubt as to whether he even said them at all.

To get a feel for the reality try watching Triumph of the Will. It contains clips from various events, presumably selected for being the best bits. Or flick through the transcript here: https://web.archive.org/web/20030622191345/http://www.dasbla...

First problem: there is no content. Nothing he says is actually about anything. There are almost no coherent political ideas or proposals presented. There's also no structure: no beginning, middle and end. You could skip whole sections, or randomly re-order all the sentences, and nobody would notice. His oratory is nothing but a disconnected series of vague one or two line political slogans and exhortations that don't seem to connect to each other in any way. Example: "Regardless of whatever we create and what we do, we shall pass away, but in you, Germany will live on". To the modern listener this is difficult to listen to because it's so easy to get bored and drift off.

Second problem: His delivery is absurdly over-dramatic all the time, even when he's saying mundane things. If someone tried that today they'd immediately become an object of mockery and derision because it's such a silly speaking style.

Third problem: he often seems to meander or become stuck in a loop, e.g. "We want this people to be obedient and you must practice this obedience; we want this people to be peace-loving but also brave and you must be peace-loving! You must therefore be peace-loving and obedient and courageous at the same time."

The "Hitler was an amazing orator" meme must originate from people who can't face the maybe more ugly truth: in a very young and unstable democracy full of angry hopeless people being crushed by war reparations, you didn't have to be good at conventional politics to take over. Being extremely energetic, telling people they're pretty great actually, being socialist and having a violent street army was all it took.
Sure, same argument applies to fake meat.

Sure if Zucchini is big one no-one wants to eat it but small ones?
Yes, agreed, yet another call for very aggressive right to repair law. If you own it, you must be allowed to repair it yourself, full stop.

Very curious to know what the telos of "truth" is here for you? A comparison is a comparison, it can get no more "true." If you want to say: the terms of the comparisons seem to verge towards identity, then you aren't really talking about the same thing anymore. Further, you would need to assert that our conceptions of ourselves have remained static throughout the whole ordeal (pretty tough to defend), and you would also need to put forward a pretty crude idea of technological determinism (extremely tough to defend).

Its way more productive and way less woo-woo to understand that humans have a certain tendency towards comparison, and we tend to create things that reflect our current values and conceptions of ourselves. And that "technological progress" is not a straight line, but a labyrinthine route that traces societal conceptions and priorities.

Yeah while Wayland still has some warts it seems like people say "I don't have proper color management on Wayland" with the same enthusiasm "This GNOME Wayland session crashes on boot" from a nearly a decade ago.

It's because everyone misunderstands the comment they are responding to, and it is indeed funny and strange.

The comment talks about eating "only vegetables", but it's being misinterpreted as "can you survive on a vegan diet" and even "do vegetarians exist"

The question was "can you survive eating only vegetables?" No beans, chickpeas, peanuts, no nuts, no grains, no fruit.

"Included" tools are expected to invariably be of shit quality. Blaming a fastener standard because of whatever some random Aliexpress vendor is doing is rather stupid.
Also a T3 would be 1mm, this is like mobile phone fastener size, nothing on a car is a "size 3", so QYBS, you do not have any depth on the subject matter to have a useful opinion.

Use quality tools, there is absolutely no problem, there's even an ISO standard (10664), there is absolutely no reason for ambiguity. Just stop buying shit.

Every kid is different. YMMV. We did some ASL gestures/words with our daughter and it worked very well. I'd encourage everyone to at least give it a try. She took to it and was "talking" to us (mainly "hungry" and "milk", but we got "enough" sometimes too) pretty quickly.

I can't remember exact ages and timeframes-- that time of my life is "blurry". I wish I could remember all the gestures we used. (The only ones I can remember now are "milk", "apple", and "thank you".) As she became verbal she quickly transitioned away from them.
Exactly. To that I’m going to add that the blood of our civilization is culture (sciences, technology, arts, traditions). The moment there is something better at it than humans, it’s our “horse-moment”.
The problem is not the exhaust being too hot, but the heating element being too cold. Gas furnace, for example, burns gas at temperatures much higher than that of boiling water.
Yes, Wayland is a display protocol that applications need to speak in order to display on a Wayland server.

Applications built for X can still run on Wayland via Xwayland. But Xwayland is a bodge to allow legacy applications to continue running, an interim solution while toolkits, libraries, and applications are converted to use Wayland directly. To paraphrase the hit song:

Once we have enough Wayland software

What is the go to URL that people like that summarizes the debate around censhorship vs speech rights? Like so many other things, it seems to me that both sides have a very strong case, but that ultimately, in all matters, practicality wins. In this case, speech freedom is ideologically correct, and Meta is being short-term practical (money!) but long-term impractical (undermining democracy will undermine key infrastructure upon which Meta depends). E.g. censorship is generally very bad, even extremely bad, but this particular set of claims is a contagion to which large swaths of the public are vulnerable to, and which present a clear and present danger to US democracy. Furthermore, this isn't a case where there is any nuance: every claim of fraud has been undermined. To anyone paying attention to these claims and their response knows the score; so to see the population get swayed because of their own ignorance and prejudice is a sacrifice too great for the altar of "free speech". Especially when you factor in how much less free speech will become if they win.
How do you define vegetable here? A whole lot of (dis)agreement below seems to hinge on that.

The dictionary definition of vegetable (according to dictionary.com) is:

> any plant whose fruit, seeds, roots, tubers, bulbs, stems, leaves, or flower parts are used as food

Which would include grains, however you may be excluding those depending on if "heavily processed" modifies only the oil, or the grains as well.

Of course culinarily in western traditions, grains and a lot of tubers are excluded from that, as are some fruits (others, culinarily speaking, are considered vegetables like squashes, tomatoes, and so on).

Also, in your question, would olive oil count? Its literally the result of squishing olives.... does that count as heavily processed?

Do you count potatoes? They are pretty calorie dense. Beans? Plenty of calories and lots of protein.

What about seed foods - nuts and such? They are also calorie dense and have a lot of fats too.

Point being - it's really unclear what limitations you're placing on it... peanuts, beans, (sweet) potatoes, squashes and fruits are commonly grown in home gardens, widely considered vegetables, and calorie dense enough to sustain a person fairly easily without non-stop eating.
I've resigned from my role leading the Audio team at Stability AI
Somewhere recently I read that one can create a chain of mathematical universes, each modelling the next, in which particular objects alternate between properties. (Was it countably vs uncountably infinite, or infinite/finite? If it matters to you, I'll try to trawl my history)

Another aspect of infinity: our (human) Turing Machines have an infinite tape, but only a finite repertoire of symbols. One might imagine angelic Turing Machines which allowed an infinite variety of symbols (on a finite tape?) but I currently believe that to actually compute these could be no more powerful than ours, for to model lambda calculus requires continuity à la Scott. As below, so above?

Free and fair elections are a source of US national pride and identity. If a national election wasn't fair, then we have no more political freedom than a non-democratic country. So yes, you're allowed to say it, but without solid evidence, it does strike a deep nerve with people.

>Dogs reflect the treatment they get from their owners.

Dogs are bread to have specific traits - every dog breed. Pit bulls were bred for a specific purpose, to fight until death. How you can completely ignore that to create the narrative you wish were true is another story.

You're reasoning about why the dog bit the kid, without recognizing the lethality of pit bulls when they attack. That kid is very lucky, because that dog could have tore her head off her neck. You can keep ignoring the evidence and reality if you want, but statistics do not lie - pit bulls make up 6% of all dogs and they are responsible for 67% of all fatal dog attacks. It's not how they're raised, it's literally in their genetics to fight until death. Dangerous breeds are called "dangerous breeds" for a reason - because they're dangerous. Don't take it from me, many countries have banned pit bulls because they are dangerous.

There's a well-documented concept called "God of the gaps" where any phenomenon humans don't understand at the time is attributed to a divine entity.

Over time, as the gaps in human knowledge get filled, the god "shrinks" - it becomes less expansive, less powerful, less directly involved in human affairs. The definition changes.

It's fascinating to watch the same thing happen with human exceptionalism – so many cries of "but AI can't do <thing that's rapidly approaching>". It's "human of the gaps", and those gaps are rapidly closing.
