Having a separate scheme for HTTPS was a mistake anyway. TLS should be a transport detail that doesn't change the URL at all just like DNSSEC, IPv6 and QUIC don't change the URL. The browser can still display the negotiated encryption and you need HSTS anyway to fully protect against downgrade attacks - and as older ciphers are broken even that is not going to be enough.

I think this is exactly the right conclusion.

The main complaint people have about strict, thorough type systems is that they have boilerplate.

Obviously boilerplate doesn't matter if a machine writes the code.

The type system also becomes helpful documentation of the intended behavior of the code that the LLM spits out.
I don't understand what's confusing about saying "drop" and to me the headline makes perfect sense. What is it you dont like?
In that case i think you are exactly right. We need a better word than postmodernity though. Information age? Knowledge era?
This is great! So many people in the ADHD community don't dig in enough into the 'superpower' side of it, so I'm super glad you covered that here. We can't get rid of the bad parts so I think it's extra important to lean into the good parts too.

I will also share this Historia Civilis video on the history of work, which really resonated with me as an ADHD person -- It's OK and even more 'natural' to have fast and slow days.

And I will say, for me, Obsidian was another red herring. When I see Gwern's blog I dream about my ordered note taking life and I tried for about a year to do that with obsidian. I took a lot of notes, but I don't read them and they do nothing for me.

I ended up after a lot of trial and error with a bookmarklet that lets me take notes right in a browser window paired with a real planning app like tick tick or Google keep or whatever.

The quick notes are good for when I'm trying to avoid my other Todo list because there's something I don't want to do on it but I still need to take other notes.

Here's the bookmarklet I started with: https://gist.github.com/clisamurai/1f355b6028c8b9d1836b4ca01...
Nice rant...but I think you'd have a far better argument for "evil capitalist Wall Street really runs the USA today". A military junta bright enough to tell its own *ss from a foxhole would not have optimized so much of the US economy for short-term Wall Street profits - to the military's own extreme detriment - for starters.

I did not know about the nuclear sponge tactics. It seems pretty interesting, and the only argument for having the silos at all.
I got that on a gigabit connection.
That would barely address the articles concerns, as those warheads still need storage, still cost money, still generate waste, still require environmental impact reports for their construction, movement, and storage.

The actual, physical silo is only about a third of what this article takes issue with. The overwhelming majority is focused on its nature as a nuclear silo, and the nuclear aspect doesn't change even if you get rid of the silo.
Alcohol ephoxylate, which is present in rinse aid and some dishwasher pods,damages gut tissue and causes inflammatory and immune issues.

The study looked at concentrations found in "professional" (restaurant) doses of the chemicals.

I'm not sure how much it applies to residential dishwashers. I did find that ingredient in my rinse aid and dishwasher pods.
Yes, of course. Democracy is very important, so in order to protect it, even such extreme measures can be morally justified. And before you try to mirror this argument with what was happening in the USSR: the USSR was not democratic, it was totalitarian, and protecting totalitarism is never morally correct, period.
Also restaurant vs home cooking is like a classic principal agent problem.

If I don't want to get sick, I store stuff reasonably, sniff before cooking, and don't hold things past date/days open.

A restaurant wanting to make money is incentivized against being "better safe than sorry" on throwing away stuff rather than serving it. They care more about complying with the letter of the law with respect to passing health inspections well enough. If they occasionally get someone sick, its not always probable that the customer attributes it back to them, and still.. may return anyway.

For the "you get food poisoning at home all the time and don't know it / its just like flu" crowd.. I'd argue you maybe have not had the most severe, rapid onset forms that you can get from a restaurant.

It's a wildly exaggerated figure. Maxeon cells are rated for 0.25% degradation per year which works out to about 8% in 30 years. An inferior cell might be rated for 0.75% which works out to 20% in 30 years rather than 10 years. I believe a lot of the panels rated for 0.75% are seeing around half that actual rate of degradation.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that tens of billions of dollars have been spent solely to harness the thinking of really smart people on this strategic question.

So anything on an hn thread is lucky if it even rises to “glib”, but…

The problem with bombers is that they’re slow & vulnerable; you have to fly them over their targets.

The problem with submarines is they have to hide, which pulls against maintaining reliable communication. They’re also absurdly complex in engineering and operation, which means they may have vulnerabilities we haven’t thought of or can’t confidently mitigate.

Groud-based ICBM’s trade off these issues for the equally big issue of being immobile.
Depends what agenda the news articles want to push, I guess (ie all the "chatGPT is losing users!" a while back). I have no idea one way or another.
I might be generalising but in some countries (UK) it's common to not rinse soap/washing up liquid off dishes after washing them by hand. Being hypochondriac I was always curious about health aspects of this and feared something similar to what's described in the article.
Exactly, its not hard to control this at home.

Not to mention that the rate of failure of restaurants implies the probability that any given restaurant is in some amount of financial strain and maybe pushing the limits on ingredient freshness & cleaning standards...

Not medical advice, if you have cancer don't listen to me.

The keto diet, or subtypes, absolutely is anti-cancer. Nobel prize in 1931 basically proving the keto diet is anti-cancer. But how much, is it even a good treatment? Anthrax is anti-cancer, but doesn't mean ANYONE will use it as treatment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_effect_(oncology)

The thing is, it has more to do with kind of starving the cancer cells. They don't like using ketones.

This won't work for pancreatic and some edge case types of cancer. Lung cancer is probably one of the best ones to treat this way? Far more effective than any of the 'lets poison them to the edge of death and hope cancer dies first'

In the last 5 years many have studied this and the nobel prize may be wrong. Like we are discovering it works in a different way. So it's not keto that you want to do, it's actually starving yourself. Starving yourself to the edge of death and hoping the cancer dies. Kind of similar but far more effective?

I would make a prediction though, this entire field of research is utterly pointless and if my doctor told me I had cancer I wouldn't concern myself with any of this.

During covid, a particular celebrity revealed the cure to cancer. It has been known since the 1970s. His accident in revealing this created this massive censorship move. I've never seen anything at this scale like this, they really didn't want anyone taking it. The drug does seem to have been mislabeled rather egregiously.

But cancer patients who got covid tried it and oncologists in Mexico and China found, 'wait off label anti-cancer use of a drug' The cat is out of the bag.

Huge consequences though. What happens to population numbers if you eliminate the #2 cause of death and roughly 1 million people per year for just north america alone remain alive? I can see how that's beyond scary for the US government.
I do the same. And while it’s frustrating that nothing seems to stick long-term, I think it’s important to be trying. I’ll create a recurring to-do list of errands and I’ll stick to it for a week if I’m lucky. It feels bad when I find all those errands incomplete the following week when there’s a slight change in schedule, but at least those things got done the first week. And I pivot to a new strategy and try it all again.

The cycle stopped bothering me so much when I realized that’s what it is: a cycle. It ebbs and flows with my energy levels. And frankly part of why I can’t keep it up is probably because I’m putting too much demand on myself. If I need to take a break, I guess that’s just what needs to happen. I’ll probably pick up a more productive routine again next week.

I think I just read the best reply ever
Would it help to still consider "accidentally" as an adverb, but modifying an omitted verb? As a native English-speaker, that's how I tend to parse it.

Up until the end of the sentence, the reader doesn't know whether a verb is going to occur. English usually arranges a sentence with subject-verb-object ordering ("I ate my meal."), and not subject-object-verb ordering ("I my meal ate."), so this is unlikely. However, variations occur, such as "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." in Macbeth, or "Frankincense to offer have I" from We Three Kings. These tend to be somewhat archaic usage, and so an author may deliberately use this tone for a sense of formality.

This is similar to a garden-path sentence [0], where the sentence cannot be easily parsed in order. Up until the title ends, we don't know if the title will so formal that it changes up the word ordering (e.g. "I accidentally a scheme brought forth.") or so informal that it omitted a word without realizing it. This contrast between extreme formality and extreme informality becomes a source of humor when resolved.

(And by dissecting a joke, I have made it that much funnier. I'm great at parties.)

> that someone is dividing and conquering the public.

Yea that someone is society.

Tribalism happens because the feverent supporters are the ones that actually give money, time, etc. Someone that sees the nuance, is more likely to be okay with either solution, or said another way, not likely to give money to one side because they don't want to fully endorse one side.

The people supported then go on to be politicans and media personalities that then force people to pick sides because it's more advantegous to them.

It's an oversimplification, and not always applicable but a decent enough explanation for lots of our problems.
It says "geschäftsführender Bundeskanzler".

Even on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chancellor_of_Germany he's listed as "Vice Chancellor Walter Scheel served as acting Chancellor from 7 May to 16 May 1974" between 4 and 5.

There's obviously some ambiguity to it considering we are two humans discussing this with a claimed discrepancy between English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia, but your conclusion is still that the AI is spitting nonsense.

You nailed it, haha! I had exactly the same experience: I was working in 2007 in analytics department, and we had no IT bureacracy, meanwhile the IT department, we had to deal with, would say it would need months of approval for anything substantial (like a simple dashboard or a report), and a year to implement.
I read that whole thing and didn’t read one word about nutrition?

I’ve come along way to understanding the nutritional metabolic pathways that may increase the symptoms of ADHD.

Pyridoxine, or B6, is the most studied nutritional factor when it comes to reducing ADHD symptoms. I’m not saying this is the only cause of ADHD, but if this works other things might work as well. Zinc is a good possibility on the list also.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24321736/

According to our data, multi-year pyridoxine treatment normalizes completely the pattern of ADHD behavior, without causing any serious side effects.
The comment you're replying to doesn't seem to mention the debunked "sugar rush". The "crash" on the other hand seems to be more replicable.

Also your framing ignores that the "prompting" can be circumstantial rather than targeted. The "rush" is frequently misattributed to sugar when it can actually be better explained by the food itself being a rare treat (and thus exciting) or the situation in which it is provided being special (e.g. a party). Or it can simply be the joy of eating something very tasty.

It's less Clever Hans and more "kids are more prone to sudden outbursts of strong emotions and adults blame it on food".

KPI when these don't follow this simple rule: Employee work toward company producing its maximum value.
Basically, if I don't reach KPI because I can produce more business value at equivalent time I'll go for option 2. If management wants me to go for option 1 without providing business justification I'm good to go.
Yep, I know a lot of people who have the most horrible lifestyles who claim to have ADHD. I had previously been entirely useless in my life and claimed to be depressed. As soon as I made an effort to be happy and implement healthy coping mechanisms I quickly became a much more functional human being. I have found myself recently wondering if I have ADHD a lot. I'm starting to realise this may be the same thing and I do need to have some self discipline. I am pre-disposed to being disorganised, terrible at dealing with time and very contrary in the face of things I don't want to do. However, I'm pretty sure these are things I can sorta improve on and are not so tied to my brain chemistry that I must yield to them. Recently I had a gf who was hypersensitive to all noise, practically unable to sleep, extremely hyperactive, addictive tendencies, impulsive to a ridiculous level, terrible relationship to food, always talking too much or too little to hold a conversation as expected, worse concept of time than me, constantly living in an extreme level of chaos. She was recently diagnosed ADHD and nothing has ever been less surprising to me in my life. That gave me a good insight about what is the difference between me being pretty disorganised and always feeling like it's hard to start doing things, and what being ADHD looks like. Mainly, I do not have all these other neurodivergent tendencies like hypersensitivity. So hopefully I will be able to continue working towards functioning as a normal adult although I do find it sorta challenging. I am investigating physical medical reasons for my difficulty focusing and still looking to see if I can get assessed though, just to rule anything out. But I think I can do a lot more with my behaviour than I think.
Sounds funny though xD
Airline industry levels of safety? So real six sigma? I am all for that! Just as a heads up, that includes all those incidents that never make to the news. You know, a crack here, corrosion there. A failed sensor, a insignificant coolant leak...

And you know why the Chernobyl reports are so significant? Because to date it is the worst nuclear accident, also the most thoroughly investigated one. And specifically because of all the fuck ups, it allows us to see a lot of risks and issues in one single report, not spread across a half dozen or so. Added bonus, everyone knows about Chernobyl.

After all, I read it, multiple times actually. I also read some of the public reports on the 737 Max, and the basic parallels in behaviour of people and organizations are astonishing.

Just im case so, I am not saying coal is better, we absolutely should leave existing nuclear plants online as long as sofely possible. Building new ones is just not economically feasible anymore, for almost a decade so. Wind and solar are simply cheaper, and hence more profitable fprninvestors, and the environment. And until tue transition is complete, nuclear and some gas plants for covering peak demand short notice, is a viable way to go.

By the way, regarding 80s and 90s safety regulations, you do know from when most of the current nuclear fleet dates, right? And there is so much retrofitting you can do...
Until I read all the way down here to the bottom of the comment thread, I was thinking about the older people who didn't get this reference since I've been hearing it for decades. But now I see, thanks to your comment, that it is I that is the old one, and it's the youngsters that don't know it.
You'd be surprised. My wife had an accounting job, and when either of the other two people were out for the day, she had to cover. She could manually do their whole day worth of work in 45 minutes.

They were slower, but they also chit chatted with half the office, went to lunch, etc.

Their jobs consisted of pulling some data from here or there, entering it into excel, sending a few emails, entering some data into another system, printing some checks. All stuff that's easy to automate (you'd probably need more than Excel in this case)
I love how this community has such a disproportionate number of people who have ADHD. It's almost like programming is actually just incredibly difficult to pay attention to for any normal human being and the field is competitive enough that people basically have to find a way to get a prescription for stimulants.

(Honestly not trying to discredit anyone actually suffering from ADHD, just seem implausible to me that so many have it given that programming also just requires an unhealthy amount of attention to finish tasks in a "timely" manner).
The former is for throughput, the latter is for latency.

I work as an Equipment Reliability Engineer at a nuclear power station. The only programming we are allowed to use is Microsoft Excel Macros, nothing else. There’s a reason why VBA is still alive.
From someone that actually has ADHD and has finally got it under control:

1. Our genetics means that one gene producing double the dopamine uptake receptors and a combo of other genes messes with something else (50% of all ADHDers have an anxiety disorder either GABA or serotonin based). In fact that is why ADDERALL is not addictive for us but is addictive to a normal person with the normal count of dopamine uptake receptors as cocaine, meth, etc. work on the TAART stretch of the dopamine uptake receptor.
2. Dopamine analogs plus coffee troopics tend to work at getting leverage to put time org and note org on top. My stack is:
-30 mg caffeine taken one to 2 hours after waking when cortisol starts decreasing
-green tea extract
-maca extract
-vitamins through fenugreek
-dopamine analog via goji berries
-L-theanine to stretch the 2 hour caffeine effect to 6 hours

Note for non ADHD people your cortisol starts decreasing after you wake about 1 to 2 hours after waking as this is what made caffeine drinks a habit. It is not wrong to take caffeine an hour or two after waking or at 10 am. You just should follow it up with the weak EGCG found in green tea and L-theanine to make it stretch to 6 hours.
Indeed, I think it’s pretty standard, but surely quite interesting.

The baseline tick you mention I think is the enumeration comma.

Yes to both. I also wear an Apple Watch with the main display being a heart rate graph to monitor my stress levels over the day. I tend to average a resting rate of 100 bpm during periods of higher stress, and between 60-70 in periods of lower stress. Longer periods of high BPM indicates that I need to take a break.

The PTSD presents mostly in incredibly severe trust issues, periodic nightmares related to events, depersonalization, sleep problems, and paranoia. I also have an absurdly overblown startle response that looks more like a panic attack than someone being jump-startled. If I'm startled "badly enough", it triggers a panic attack. "Badly enough" can simply be someone tapping me on the shoulder when I didn't notice them coming up behind me.
The difference is that the wavelengths in which they reflect and emit are different. Where you emit, you absorb. White paint has a lower solar reflectance because it emits and absorbs across a broader band. The better PRDC coatings absorb/emit more tightly in the atmospheric IR window.

Yes, it does. The difference is that with a known language (VBA in accounting, for example), you stand a hope in hell of untangling the mess or at least managing it so that the company doesn't fall over.
