The brain likes keto because of betahydroxybutyrate, though it's the only organ to require glucose (not a problem in keto as we have gluconeogenesis from fat and proteins)

You know what likes keto even more? Your heart. There are studies and research of fatty acids being able to reverse heart disease, and them being incredibly more efficient fuels than glucose is. N=1 placebo, but I certainly feel my heart (in an overweight body) pumping better and with less effort 1+ weeks into very low carb.

Adaptation takes a while because our mitochondria are dysfunctional due to standard diets being so high in glucose. Fatty acids are the better fuel for muscles, and mitochondria in general.
There is a couple of interesting ramifications there.

1 obvious, so, they just disincentivised updates? Brilliant. Or maybe the idea is for app developers to charge for updates.

2 oh right, developers have to update frequently or else Apple will remove the app for being a security risk or simply no longer being compatible with current os and apis, os and apis whose changes are controlled by who again?

So they charge for updates, and make it a rule that you must update.

What a great racket!

> When your CEO has so many places to focus his attention, giving him more equity to remain the preferred child makes a lot of sense as a mutually beneficial agreement.

Alternatively, you could simply condition the compensation on spending a certain amount of time/attention on Tesla. That seems like a much more straightforwards solution of keeping Musk's attention were actually a concern. Perhaps that would warrant a further bump in compensation, but in exchange you get certainty.

All that matters is if there if fresh money coming in and how much there is if the German government tried to sell. We have no idea how much money is fresh and how much there is wash until someone places a legitimate market sell for a large quantity of BTC.

I recommend a book called Boom: Mad Money, Mega Dealers, and the Rise of Contemporary Art for a more neutral take on the art world and why art prices are so high. It’s easy to just call it “money laundering” but I think that is a lazy answer.

Of the many reasons why the art world is the way it is, I think a few are particularly interesting.

One has to do with commodification: in the last few hundred years, nearly every type of thing has become commodified: photographs (via digital cameras and social media), furniture (IKEA, etc.), and now with AI, words and digital images. And yet – the art object really hasn’t become commodified. There is only one art object treated as the authentic Mona Lisa/Rothko No. 6/ etc. And so from a certain point of view, the art market is a recognition of this fact that certain classes of objects will become more valuable because they cannot be commodified. This makes them entirely worthwhile investments on their own terms and you don’t need a vast conspiracy to underpin that market.

Another interesting reason is how artists have somewhat merged with celebrities, which the Boom book covers. This started happening with Warhol but took off in the 80s. Artists are a kind of celebrity that instead of selling millions of books/concert tickets/music albums/etc., package all of their “fame value” into a smaller number of objects.

> In the US, over the last 30 years approximately the same number of people have died "with" COVID as have died "with" the flu. COVID's only been around 1/10th the time.

I don't know about the US numbers, you have a bigger obesity problem and might've had more deaths. But where I'm from one flu season a few years before 2020 was worse and deadlier than any of the years with covid. Here an overwhelming amount of the deaths were people 85 and above, those below are almost a rounding error. Same as the flu.

> Yes, CNN is biased up the wazoo. But at that point it rationally didn't matter the cause, but nipping this in the bud the best we could. The cause, and even lists of potential causes, are important to prevent future patient zeroes.

But it did matter, us so-called conspiracy theorists knew everything about Fauci, Daszak and the Wuhan gain-of-function research from the beginning. We were screaming our lungs out for people to listen but were ridiculed, and WE were blamed for the spread because we knew the vaccine wouldn't prevent transmission and was useless for most people below 50-60.

Given how many people and agencies knew from recent news I wonder how they all kept quiet. How is it even possible if the western countries are democracies? I want indictments and jail time, but I'm not holding my breath. Psychopaths run the world.
If I recall properly I was warned (kind of a long time ago) that moving data between the general registers and the vector registers is not that cheap, to a point it may be better to deal with the stack (~L1 cache memory).

Any leads on that topic? Because I suspect the answers to be micro-architecture dependent and hidden deep in those abominations of llvm and gcc.
Already seeing a push to redefine "git" as github, sadly.
Pretty much all rumors at that time were very entertainingly wrong.

I think at the time that article got published we didn't even have the intel devboards distributed (that is a screen and macroboards, way before it starts looking like a phone). We did have some intel handsets from a 3rd party for meego work, but that was pretty much just proof of concept - nobody ever really bothered looking into trying to get the modem working, for example.

What became the N9 was all the time planned as an arm based device - exact name and specs changed a few times, but it still pretty much was developed as a maemo device, just using the meego name for branding, plus having some of the APIs (mainly, qt mobility and QML) compatible with what was scheduled to become meego. The QML stuff was a late addition there - originally it was supposed to launch with MTF, and the device was a wild mix of both when it launched, with QML having noticeable issues in many areas.

Development on what was supposed to be proper meego (the cooperation with intel) happened with only a very small team (which I was part of) at that time, and was starting to slowly ramp up - but massive developer effort from Nokia to actually make a "true" meego phone would've started somewhere mid-11.
I'm curious, are you all still writing custom prompts regularly?

I was deeply involved in prompt engineering and writing custom prompts because they yielded significantly better results.

However it became tedious especially since each update seemed to alter the way to effectively direct ChatGPT’s attention.

Nowadays I occasionally use a custom ChatGPT but I mostly stick with stock ChatGPT.

I feel the difference in quality has diminished.

The results are sufficiently good and more importantly the response time with larger prompts has increased so much that I prefer quicker ‘good enough’ responses over slower superior ones.

It’s easier to ask a follow-up question if the initial result isn’t quite there yet rather than striving for a perfect response in a single attempt
I think I'd agree with your assessment, and some of those problems are what I was thinking of when I wrote my comment, especially the documentation.

> Coming back to writing typescript in VS Code or writing rust in Intellij felt like a breath of fresh air compared to working in Xcode. Everything works, and it works fast and reliably. I have good documentation and I can read the code I'm calling if I get confused.

Some of the tools we use are fast because they have less or no baggage, and some aren't because they have tons. In terms of what Xcode tries to accomplish, it fairs better and is capable of more than any tool I can think of, but there's no way it could compete with anything else that has a relatively austere set of requirements. It is indeed a cobbled together buggy mess, but I just don't think you get 20+ years in without a bit of that.

IntelliJ is an interesting example in that they have managed to build tools that are both rich with features and somewhat performant, and to your implied point, they probably have to in order to compete; if all Xcode did was compile raw Swift and let you visually debug, it would almost certainly lose that fight. Maybe VSCode or Nova will usurp Xcode, and make the experience of just writing Swift and SwiftUI faster against Foundation, AppKit UIKit, etc.. but then you'll need to still likely run it on some emulator, potentially analyze performance issues, preview layouts visually, maybe run cloud builds, configure CoreData models, blah blah blah. Not all the time, but it's there.

Comparatively, other tools just delegate responsibility to other huge projects that haven't always been around or all that great or not great enough. Writing any web code without Chrome or Firefox devtools would suuuuuuck, and ultimately that's usually what I'm doing. Webstorm and VSCode are.. ok at the full package I guess, but not as good as discrete applications.

Webpack is also miserably slow and arcane compared to esbuild or vite, but have their own limitations.

Yes, indeed. If you have narrow-band light sources, say a mercury vapor lamp[1], and some material that only reflects a different narrow-band spectrum, then you should get very little reflection while with an RGB renderer you'll get some reflection.

However as you point out, very few materials and lights are like this, hence why the approximation works well.

It's used as a proxy for overall strength, as it's very easy to measure in a clinical setting and there is a good amount of data floating about with it.

A bit like BMI, it could be useful for looking at in overall populations even if there are pockets where it doesn't measure overall strength in an accurate manner.

It's not saying if you train your grip strength you will live longer, but _generally_ those that live longer have greater grip strength than those that don't.

There are only 160 million US passports in circulation (out of a population of 330 million. So roughly half. Of course HN people tend to be middle class or higher so they'd more likely be in that 50%. But still, the US is huge (roughly the size of Europe (Europe is approximately 10,180,000 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km). There's plenty of places to go in the US without needing to go elsewhere. And look at the tiny passport numbers in the 1990s! That's because before 9/11 you didn't need one to go to Canada or Mexico if you had other identification (like a driver's license) showing you were from the US. I've heard that you can still go to Canada that way if you drive rather than fly, but I haven't tried it.

Not gonna share a long story, but be aware of one important nuance: your conversations with a friend founder may make you think that there’s more than there is in your position, now or in the future, or in general. It’s easy to tune into “the vibe” when you’re close, but keep your situation real and theirs only hypothetical. I lost too many years to it and left (myself, after a therapist opened my eyes). A year later the company decided to resurrect a promising project I worked on and came to me with an open offer. Turned out they couldn’t meet my pretty decent expectations (I still help the guy who does it, no grudge). All these we/growth-mindset talks were wishful thinking, sometimes just babble, on both sides.

Show HN: Seed your database with AI (Demo)
Hey HN,

My mission is to make sure that developers are coding against production-like data, why? Your data is a dependency of your code, and it's one of the areas that's mostly ignored: You're all coding against bad data! And if you're coding against production data you feel bad because you have people's private data!

I think we can all agree that the main reason why developers require distributed source control is in order to facilitate development in a parallel way.

So, as a maintainer the purpose of such a request for collaboration (it being a PR or a patch) is to determine if: a) it does what it's expected out of it, b) it matches the conventions of the existing code.

I, personally, can make a judgement about both of things better with a patch that I apply locally than with a PR.

The main issue with PRs (in my opinion) is that they limit severely the context in which the changes are viewed. If I want to properly review a piece of code I have to check it out and follow the diff in its proper context (either while debugging) or even while just reading it.

Source forges, through the PR mechanism, encourage superficial reviews and insufficient attention being given to the merged code.

That's just one area in Halifax, but the idea is that higher population densities require less infrastructure per person.

The pendulum has swung (is swinging?) for many companies back to on-prem for cost savings. Self-hosted FAAS allows your developers to retain the abstraction over the compute platform (a step beyond what containers provide), and grants those running the physical infra significant flexibility in managing it. It's also arguably less complex than k8s for basically everyone, if your use case supports short-lived functions.
