Actually, it's funny. My parents aren't Libertarian, but they kinda lean that way in terms of not trusting the government - etc. When they restricted pseudoephedrine, they immediately were suspicious about phenylephrine and eventually came to the conclusion that it doesn't do anything. They'd demand pseudoephedrine and claim that phenylephrine was just a way to restrict pseudoephedrine while allowing pharma to rip us off, yada yada. That's where my strong disdain for phenylephrine came from. Once I was in college buying my own medicine, I came to the same conclusion that one worked and one didn't. Pseudoephedrine was just a miracle drug to me, I remember stopping taking it too early and feeling blegh within hours.
LLMs will be a big change here for the past and future. They make past plagiarism cheap to discover. They make future plagiarism cheap to hide, simply by re-generating the same thought after embedding.

So more accountability going backwards, and less going forward.

>If the joy of your bad habits outweigh whatever other sources of joy you have in your daily life, then it's hard to motivate someone to stop. In their mind, they are making the conclusion that they'd rather die with some joy from the bad habit than die entirely unhappy

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the kicker for my mom. We were driving back from an errand and she said she wanted to stop for a [marketing name of 1000 cal coffee-slushie]. I gently but firmly reminded her that wasn't going to help her goals and she launched into a small tantrum that included 'It's the only joy I get'.

I love her so much and I'm terrified of her suddenly being gone, or worse, declining into early alzheimers/dementia like her dad did.

She is receptive to discussing changing her habits in general, but if I get specific and try to help her start any sort of plan to give them up or minimize them, she responds as if I am attacking her. I don't know what to do.

I've never struggled with my weight, but I once noticed I was getting heavier than I liked and I successfully lost about 30lb in 4-5 months. It doesn't have to be that intense for her, but I know what works. I just can't get her to commit to any variation of a serious approach.

> The oral absorption of phenylephrine is erratic. Perhaps that is why it was not used as an oral decongestant until it was the only choice. It had long been known that enzymes in the gut lining metabolized oral phenylephrine to inactive metabolites, reducing the amount of the active compound that could enter the bloodstream. The most cited study found that an oral dose of phenylephrine had an absorption rate of 38 percent of an oral dose of phenylephrine, but this study measured more than just the compound's active form. Later studies with more sensitive tests found that less than 1 percent of oral phenylephrine enters the bloodstream in an active form.

Perhaps you have a less active form of the enzyme that degrades it.

Hey HN!

To build a SaaS, you need to make a lot of components work together: Backend, Frontend, Payments, and more.

This year I learned NextJS and Supabase from scratch. These are amazing techs that helped me build five side-projects myself in one year having a full-time job.

Now I created a SaaS boilerplate based on NexJS and Supabase, which has everything one needs to create a full-stack web app: Database, Auth, Storage, Stripe payments (one-time and subscriptions), OpenAI AI connection, Design elements, Landing Page template, Email APIs.

I hope it can help you launch your next project faster.
Fentanyl is also responsible for a lot of this current cap, at least from my perspective in a big west coast city. It seems like all unhoused neighbors are on it, but of course that could just be selection bias (the ones you notice are having fent crises).

There's been a decade or more of deep learning models breaking records in almost every single research field, powered (indirectly) through CUDA, cuDNN and other NVIDIA software.

AI didn't "come along" when OpenAI released ChatGPT. DNNs that have been 99% NVIDIA-focused have been beating the state-of-the-art for years and years.

Also for the record the ADA architecture (very dominant AI accelerator) was released when the stock price was like $100 (compared to the $500 now).
As the article implies, they were lucky and good. I was surprised how quickly they were able to implement Tensor cores and head off alternate architectures.
Meron Mendel says[1] that German reporting on Israel is more sensitive compared to the USA. Criticism of the government is clearly expressed, but he thinks it's _very unlikely that images of killed children from Gaza are printed_.

Axel Springer has a guideline document that demands pro-israel stance and fired journalists[2] who question that or tells pro-Palestinian staff to quit[3]

Axel Springer SE is a leading digital publishing company based in Berlin. Axel Springer SE, is well known for publishing numerous successful newspapers and magazines, including "Bild," one of Europe's most popular daily tabloids, and "Die Welt," a leading daily newspaper.

Journalists associated with Axel Springer have on many occasions mocked the victims of Israeli bombardement, comparing the destruction in Gaza to Dresden, questioning Geneva Conventions (civilians are protected; withholding water, food, medicins is prohibited), questioning the number of killed in Gaza, citing "experts" who argue that it's legal to bomb hospitals.

Germany declares all pro palestinian protests as illegal (long before 10/7), criminalises the protestors, scares them with raids, police brutality, with press, that smears them (Greta Thunberg and others speaking for the Palestinian cause).

Every human with a nose knew it didn’t work, because when you took it, it didn’t work. The fact it was marketed was purely a regulatory exploit by pharmaceutical companies. The truth is, they could have continued to let pseudoephedrine be behind the counter and it would have been fine. But someone realized phenylephrine was approved OTC and sounded sort of like pseudoephedrine, so they could claim the shelf space and edge pseudoephedrine products.

Their defense to the FDA in being allowed to continue to market despite being proven even before they began their cynical ploy was consumers want convenience, which sadly is clearly true, that despite knowing if you walked five feet further and got the pseudoephedrine they would get relief they grabbed the drug conveniently placed. Fortunately lobbying money only went so far this time.
Are you an engineer? If so you should try to think about how to make it work, not about one downside.

It’s pretty clear that treating housing as an investment and not as a fundamental right has led us here.

Unless you’re invested in real estate in which case your incentives are to keep the system in place.
Currently (2023), homeschoolers make up less than 7% of the population. That is likely an all time high. So what you're telling me is that government schools are catastrophically bad at enabling American students to distinguish fact from opinion?

Also, homeschoolers do better on standardized tests than their government schooled counterparts. So it seems like we should be advocating for and advancing homeschool interests if we actually care about education, since it is the homeschoolers who are 'doing it right', according to outcomes.
Winnipeg codebreaker cracked one of the ''top unsolved messages''
You are right. Even more interesting, is the timing itself:

The crypto craze waned just as LLMs were picking up. Any more delay with LLMs, and perhaps nvidia would have been overextended with no demand to take their inventory. There may in fact , be no nvidia in that future depending on the level of the bet.

Or take it 1 step further . if COVID hadnt happened, the crypto craze would never have occurred, and nvidia would have only been a bit-level player in the LLM craze we are now in.

I still remember nvidia ads in pc game magazines. That and 3dfx. Who knew?

Prompt-Brush: A non-AI generative model
As Seneca is said to have quipped- “Fortuna est quae fit cum praeparatio in occasionem incidit." or "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

Nvidia has been doing the hard work in preparing to succeed in this market. CUDA has been meticulously developed and maintained, creating an adhesion to their hardware that would not otherwise exist in the AI market.

It also has been willing and capable of creating lines of business hardware aimed at maximizing utility for their customers.

They also have hired and maintained a roster of the best engineers in their specialties, including the software part of the equation.

There is no part of their success that they weren't prepared to take advantage of when the opportunity presented itself. They didn't control the size of the opportunity itself, but no greatly successful company does.
And some drugs are OTC or BTC in the US that are prescription in other places.

Not all drugs are intended to treat conditions that laypeople are equipped to self-medicate for. Consider extreme examples to illustrate some of the reasons why: it would be completely crazy for people to attempt to use things like powerful chemotherapy or anesthesia drugs to self medicate. And between these and ibuprofen, there's a bunch of other drugs which could easily be harmful to the user (or the purchaser's dependents) if used under a layperson's unguided judgement.

I think this can be even more important in the US where people have a strong incentive to self-medicate without consulting a doctor.
> No, Nvidia just found themselves in a lucky situation.

Well yes and no. They were certainly lucky to be at right place in the right time. But they were also consistently investing into CUDA and the AI/ML ecosystem while their competitor(s) ignored it to such an extent that NVDIA became the only real option (and deservedly so).

This is why they can effectively behave like a monopoly these days and just almost inconceivably high margins.

IIRC were on CUDA 5 or something when imagenet came out and changed the world.

They might not have imagined LLMs when they decided to invest in making their GPUs programmable but I guarantee you they extrapolated the future compute potential of vector programmable machines and decided it was not a huge risk to enable it as it is simply betting that some important application would be around to tap into it.
Neat. Though the issue is that the disruption occurs exactly when you want to see the pins the most.
Thanks!

> You refer to this as a shell, but it seems more like a terminal emulator. Am I missing something?

It has elements of both. I think it's closer to a shell because its primary purpose is to run commands, like bash. It has a terminal emulator, and you can run interactive programs (like Vim, or even bash) inside a hucksh command widget, but (from my point of view) the terminal emulator is there mostly so that programs that output ANSI/ncurses escape sequences don't look like absolute crap. (Many programs don't even check whether they're writing to a TTY, and/or don't check what kind of terminal they're in, they just unconditionally write xterm or vt100 ANSI codes.) I don't think you're missing anything, we just focus on different things.

> web UI

That's funny, I initially started with a web UI. Before, I was using Angular, and called it "ntla", which meant "Never Type `ls` Again". As a mostly backend-developer, the, uh, intricacies of HTML and CSS, even using Angular or Vue, ended up being a pretty difficult learning curve to climb. When I saw Gio, the completely-Go-based library I'm using now, presented at GopherCon a couple of years back, I fell in love and that actually got me to restart development of hucksh.

Gio can actually compile to WASM and I'd like to eventually enable a web-based interface. Which is admittedly not what you're saying. :)

Hucksh can actually connect remotely by forwarding the connection it uses over ssh. There are instructions for that in the documentation. Admittedly that requires more configuration and permissions than a webpage, but there are other tradeoffs. I use hucksh remotely all the time, with the UI running locally and talking to a remote backend. Using autossh and hucksh's native auto-reconnect, my laptop can go to sleep and automatically reconnect to the remote within a few seconds of awakening.

> separating the shell and the history browser

Yeah, I could see that.

There is a rudimentary command-line interface to the back-end. `hucksh cli <some-command>`. There might be a way to shim that into the bash REPL so that it uses "hucksh cli" to run commands instead of executing them directly. I, at least, would miss the rest of the UI. It's worth thinking about, if other people like the idea too.

Thanks for your comment and encouraging words!
It was more business logic issues relating to conditional logic which needed to factor in a lot of edge cases. I don't think strong typing would have helped much in this case.

Given that the known degrees of complexity in fluid problems with rotation and expansion - like Godel logic's Fluid solutions to GR - exceed the available topologies and counts EC error corrected qubits?

How complex could the relations between arbitrary things be, given terminology of Quantum discord; nonlocal entanglement and non-entanglement relations and Occam's Razor and fluids without emergence?
Who do you think writes government policy?

The entire US government is captured by corporate interests and has been for decades. [0]

Voters have effectively no say over who runs for congress or president, as those are controlled by party leaders who are - you guessed it - sponsored by "interest groups." Even at the local level, corporate governors are focused on district chairs (like Anne Wheeler in PW County, VA) to push through all manner of things like rezoning, tax credits etc... for "development."

We're dealing with exactly this right now with Amazon pushing data centers into our farmland and depleting our Aquifer. [1]

Seattle has a lot more construction than LA and SF, and it’s zoning is a lot more flexible (no parking minimums), yet we have an outsized share of the unhoused problem (on a per capita basis, larger than LA or SF). I’m not saying housing policy isn’t a blocker, but it can’t be the only one, we can’t seem to build our way privately out of the problem at least here.

More drug addiction services are needed before we can really treat this problem. Even putting them up in hotels is incredibly expensive because the damage that has to be repaired.
Nothing you are saying is new to the math PhD's who line the offices of finance companies.

But the market still overwhelmingly (but not entirely) prices things on current trends.

Practically infinite wealth awaits you if you can figure out how to implement your cyclical trends into profitable investments.
Or, take the non-liberation and crack down on the naked profiteering that is modern real estate. In many areas there appear to be lots of empty living units being kept as investments and second/fourth homes. Anyone owning an empty house or apartment should be taxed whatever amount it necessary to encourage them into at least renting that place out and thereby expanding the pool of available living units in the market.
On the one hand, the technology is already there, if you're merely looking for a "mechanical" rendering that sounds like a person with no emotion or understanding of the text -- no meaningful emphases, no meaningful change in rhythm and pitch, etc. (Well and the occasional mispronunciation of a word, especially heteronyms).

But if you're looking for tech that can read it as well as a human can in terms of turning meaning into prosody -- all of the vocal inflections that we use and hear without even realizing it, the things that make it sound human and appropriate to the text -- that's hard to say. (Especially when you consider that most people are bad at audiobook narration, as it's a real skill.)

It might be very soon, if the kind of meaning embedded in LLM's turns out to be perfect for the job. Or it might be very far away, if it turns out that it requires building a kind of accurate model of human emotion and feeling and how that maps to vocal qualities, that has nothing to do with how LLM's work.
This is a flawed idea that there is a one to one relation that everything you learn is something that will be directly used in the future.

I mean how often do we hear something along the lines of "I never used the algebra I learned in highschool" or calculus or whatever.

The reality is that while a lot of school is teaching you the basics, a lot of it is also just teaching you how to learn and how to think critically.

Or just giving you an appreciation for basic things (like science) so when you come across a new concept in your adult life you can better appreciate it and not dismiss it.
I definitely believe that’s the case, and it’s a similar case for private schools.

To be clear, I’m in Texas; and there’s been a push here for vouchers for example, and it’s all politically/religiously motivated.

So I’d just say we need to be aware of the bigger picture. The “need” for homeschooling is a red flag, and although for some students it’s a positive choice; for others it has massively negative consequences.

So awareness of those issues, and a powerful right wing religious lobby pushing an agenda shouldn’t be ignored because homeschooling works for some kids.

When these groups lost the battle for teaching creationism in schools, they literally took their textbook and did a “search and replace” with intelligent design.

Luckily that attempt got shot down in court. So they have moved on to vouchers and homeschooling in many states.
