As a recent parent of a 3 month old the stupidity of our evolutionary design baffles me. Why do you have to laboriously teach babies to fall asleep, stay asleep, etc. Even in contact naps where they should theoretically feel absolutely safe and biologically cared for. The sheer amount of absolutely ridiculous life draining energy that goes into getting a baby to do basic primitive biological things is crazy.

This brought back memories of being told that my grandfather had invested in a factory to make iodized salt in china - probably in the Shanghai area, pre-ww2. I do not believe it was a good business for him, but that is how these things go sometimes. My mother didn't have the visual or historical resources to really show me, as a child, what goiters were.

I never really got it until reading this article. But I've always made sure to have some iodized salt as I cook just to make sure we don't end up deficient, understanding that there was some easily avoided consequences at basically no cost.
You got me!

How does that address the issue? Being common on Reddit (or any social media) isn't evidence of a good idea. It could be just as accurate or inaccurate on Reddit, for years.

How could there be scare quotes around accuracy? You question its reality or importance?
Watching this unfold I was really hoping that the long-term solution here would be Apple moving (or at least announcing a move) Watch assembly to the US, if only to get around the _import_ ban. I realize that would take...rather a long time to set up, but it would have been one hell of a win (for the US, not so much for Apple).

Nice work! If DeskHop could be made to work with a Bluetooth mouse, it would be even better. FWIW I was looking for a similar solution recently. I've got a magic trackpad, keyboard, bluetooth mouse, and monitor. I'd like to swap between 2 computers somewhat easily.

> I want to share keyboard, mouse and monitor between a PC and a MacBook. A KVM with DP+USB on one side and Thunderbolt on the other doesn’t seem to exist.

It does if you use the built-in KVM in a recent Dell Ultrasharp display, and change Thunderbolt to USB-C.

My setup is a MacBook Air plugged into the USB-C port, a Windows PC plugged into the Displayport/USB port. Mouse and keyboard are plugged into the display.

I switch inputs via a StreamDeck. The StreamDeck just sends a key command; on macOS, BetterDisplay handles input switching, and on Windows, the Dell Display Manager app does the job.

Switching is a touch slower than I'd like, but beyond that, it's flawless.

Infinite precision is exponentially more difficult. It's very easy to have unbounded tape, with a big buffer of tape and some kind of "factory" that makes more tape when you get near the edge. Unbounded precision? Not going to happen in a real machine. You get to have several digits and no more.

Is this because Hyundai simply don't want you to replace the battery, and would prefer you buy a new car?

Batteries are not like most other car parts which can be manufactured by a dozen different companies.

It sounds like a right to repair issue, where car companies should be able to supply replacement parts at reasonable prices for n number of years after the car was sold.

Does it actually provide worse health outcomes?

American lifestyles especially in certain states are generally not conducive to good outcomes but the US healthcare system itself is still generally world-renowned for cutting edge procedures.

Analyzing from a cost POV it's quite bad, but in many ways healthcare is the ultimate marginal good so people are willing to spend what they have.
Taiwan's successful strategy is a two hours outside per day policy in schools. Being outside two hours in total per day is bearable even in cooler climates. And nowadays, also life for people in tropical countries tends to move inside buildings where jobs and air conditioners are. There might be a signal when comparing with agrarian countries, even though it is possible that myopia is not accurately tracked by statistics there.
Modern gasoline cars are remarkably well designed to have everything fall apart at once. They come with an 5 year / 100,000 mile warranty and fall apart at 15 years / 200,000 miles. This not-a-coincidence is a combination of both increasing the reliability of unreliable power train components over the decades and cost cutting in others.

But an electric motor can easily last 1,000,000 miles, and we've got some battery technologies (LFP) that can also get close to that. The rest of the car could be engineered to go that far, but isn't because there has been no demand for it.

But taxis, Ubers and self-driving cars do, so I wonder if we'll see cars with a 250,000 mile / 5 year warranty. What kind of premium would the market for such a car bear?
I always find it fascinating that we don't "anti-celebrate" such obvious failures in history more. I remember reading the original article of the author (linked in another comment in here) in German and I haven't ever heard of Bircher before.

Peddling nonsense against better knowledge that causes this amount of suffering deserves ridicule in posterity. We shouldn't just celebrate those who do great things for humanity, but also "anti-celebrate" those who do great harm.

> I hope this results in Fair Use being expanded to cover AI training.

Couldn't disagree more strongly, and I hope the outcome is the exact opposite. I think we've already started to see the severe negative consequences when the lion's share of the profits get sucked up by very, very few entities (e.g. we used to have tons of local papers and other entities that made money through advertising, now Google and Facebook, and to a smaller extent Amazon, suck up the majority of that revenue). The idea that everyone else gets to toil to make the content but all the profits flow to the companies with the best AI tech is not a future that's going to end with the utopia vision AI boosters think it will.

Lol, ok, maybe they are not working for you and some non- negligible amount of people, but this should not be generalized neither as "our" licences nor as "not working anymore".

I mean from a cursory glance, yeah Googling it doesn’t look great. Baking soda, diatomaceous earth, boric acid, and bay leaves come up as the top results. I didn’t even consider any of those having worked for a few years in my early 20s as an exterminator. Right when I quit we were starting to use the “green options” like eucalyptus oil spray if people requested but they barely did anything. They were mostly for paranoid people with too much money who didn’t really have bugs in the first place. We weren’t spraying apartment buildings (which often had the most problems) with that stuff.

More broadly to your point, I am certain recipes and diet advice at least are totally captured by SEO with bad advice. My cooking has improved so much now that I stopped Googling
recipes and mostly consult Kenji’s Food Lab book. For fat loss, I’ve lost 80 pounds mostly eating tons of fat and completely cutting out sugars/grains. The Internet is in a sad state where a Google search that can make someone money will often steer you wrong.
Finally decided to do a deep dive and find out what all the fuss is about. Feel like I need a shower now.

Someone should train some AI on decompiled code of Windows (not encouraging, but it would be interesting). Copyright is important for corpos when it protects their interests. Producing exact text as in NYT articles is pretty much a copyright violation. At least the last time the companies were trying to blame each other that their Java API implementations look pretty similar.

Even for open source code you cannot just remove the authors and license, replace some functions and say "oh, it is my code now". Only public domain code would allow these. But with copilot you could.

They are not sufficient by themselves, but they certainly help. Experiencing another place is some of the most effective learning people can do. It broadens the mind to possibilities far beyond what's normally around you; it teaches that your personal world is not the world, but just one of very many.

It also enculturates people to a socio-economic class. They can carry on a conversation at the party - or the work lunch or job interview - when people talk about their travels.
Pretty clear the ice age wiped away people that were in some ways sophisticated. Took a few thousand years to recover. This idea of humans being primitive but also nearly genetically identical to modern man is absurd
A bit of consolation may be that It's fairly easy to get ahold of region free players these days. 4k discs aren't even region locked at all. Unfortunately I can imagine shipping might be cost prohibited for individual discs.

I hope they reverse course, but as you say, I'm sure the temptation for control is irresistible.
It's important to remember that the internet is still very very new. Like the generation of digital natives are barely in adulthood. Sure, it's existed in some form for about 40 years, but most of the world didn't have access for the longest time. I wouldn't be surprised if we see massive changes in the next 20 years from the people who grew up on the web (specifically people outside the United States and Europe, where access was harder for a long time)
I would love to pick something up off screen this year as well. When I was a kid, I would hang out with my grandfather in his shop, melting and casting metal. But if I wanted to pick that up now, I'm not even sure where or how I could. Most classes are about smithing, which isn't exactly what I want.

So, short of finding a time machine to go back to 1992, I suppose I'll figure out how to start on this goal.

Trueanon’s series about the Falun Gong was pretty funny: https://youtu.be/SzzQkblfF3Q?feature=shared

Didn’t know Shin Yun was so wacky and how a lot of the Chinese organ harvesting myths originated from the Falun Gong.

Last year they did a series called The Game on California’s Synanon cult and that was really good too.

Just a warning: they’ve got some pretty edgy humor (and long rambling intros) and it’s not for everybody.

People seem to forget that the joke at the time was "How do you become a millionaire quickly? Be a billionaire founding an aerospace company". You weren't going to get much investor funding for a space company and there were no processes in place at NASA to fairly handle integrating newcomers into the market.

Musk betting his fortune on SpaceX and sticking it through even when they were close to bankruptcy was what ultimately blew the doors open for all the other new space companies and the increasing private investment in space technologies.

I like the idea that our open source approach must evolve. However, I'm not entirely convinced that moving to a contract approach is the way to do this - after all, one of the largest reasons that open source proliferated these past few decades is that it offered a range of both copyleft licenses like the GPL that promoted freedom first and foremost, as well as a wide range of permissive licenses like MIT that promoted code adoption in other (possibly commercial) projects. Thus, a contract approach would likely require a wide range of complex contract types, and this may dissuade adoption.
I still have a lot of trouble using OpenAI function-calling API (and json mode) for returning source code. I have trouble when the source code has quotes, which is pretty common. The result may be missing quotes, have incorrectly escaped quotes, or use of the wrong type of quotes at the JSON object level.

It's so that the topology of the design system can mirror the topology of the information being stored. Top-to-bottom and left-to-right works great for information with a linear, generally one-way directional flow.

But how do you show that certain concepts are similar and related? Wiki informational design says that you should do that by splitting things up into atomic concepts that individually have a linear informational flow and using hyperlinks to connect them. You might group things into common categories.

Links can show a connection, but not how close those connections are or any correlations. The idea of whiteboarding is that you're not limited to segmented linear information flows, and you can represent your thoughts visually.

The "infinite canvas" is to a whiteboard what a wiki is to a filing cabinet of notecards. Or what a plotted graph is to a table of numbers.

News media like NYT, Fox etc are tools for high scale brainwashing public by the elite. This is why you see all the News papers have some political ideology. If they were reporting on truth and not opinions they won't have the need for leaning. Also you never see the journalists reporting against their own publication.

Humanity is better off without these mass brainwashing systems.

Millions of independent journalists will be better outcome for humanity.
Ask HN: Looking for a Book
I am looking for a book that I saw on HN and read.

I don't remember the title of the book. One of the principles was to hire first for trust, then for motivation, and last for skills. Reasoning being that motivation without trust can be very dangerous for the business. And that if someone has high integrity and a lot of self-drive but no skills, it's actually not an issue and you should just train them and invest in their education.

This was a fantastic principle and helped guide through tough hiring decisions. I want my team to read that book as well for all of us to be on the same page. And I also want to dig further in other principles of the book.

It can be a book about hiring specifically, but can also be a more general book about businesses, startups, tech, productivity, or a random biography of an entrepreneur.

Any idea what the book can be? Thank you!
Tesla actually has reasonable pricing for the battery replacement.

Part of the price you pay for the car is what we in Norway called "pant", so when you replace the battery this price is subtracted since it's the price tesla buys the old battery back for.

For my X it would cost $10000 to replace the battery, however after 5 years and 100.000 km it's still at 95% of the original capacity..
