I’m in that camp. My kids and I don’t have issues, but my wife does. We’ve had to de-train in Germany once and go to a hospital due to a reaction while on vacation. Last week in NYC, we bought food and were ensured that it didn’t have nuts. But we forgot to ask about sesame seeds/oil. No hospital this time, but she was unwell (vomiting) for the rest of the trip.

We are pretty vigilant. If her anaphylactic reactions were more severe (I.e. airway constricting) we would be much more strict. But this approval seems perfect for us, since it won’t change our routines, but means we’re not punished for accidents.
Ask HN: Python and Robotics for Kids
I'm teaching my child to develop software with Python, And I would like for him to work on robotics projects.

I saw the Ryze Tech Tello from DJI that looks cool and lego's mindstorm.

Are there any other recommendations or dis-recommendations on the above?

Thanks
The results seem quite bad. Compare the static image and "game" in this one example:
Static Image: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/c0GV4hG0Xg0eqpsUS1z62v6aJ2...
"Game": https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/L_WsAa1saPmj29DSKda_fzk15y...

In the video, the character becomes a pixelated mess. In the static image, the character is clearly on rocks in the foreground, but in the "game" we see the character magically jumping from the foreground rocks to the background structure which also contains significant distortions.

The extremely short demo videos make it slightly harder to catch these obvious issues.
"Unfortunately, nuclear seems to get a bad rep from a lot of people."

Well, there was Chernobyl.

Then Fukushima.

I'm all for Nuclear. But I think humans have shown repeatedly they can't really handle it.

So think the trepidation is justified.

But, I am hoping with all the technology advances in last 50 years, maybe Nuclear can be made safe. If we do learn from past.
Thank you for your comment, nice to hear that, wondering if the Windows Phone browser is capable of runing it properly? Would you mind letting me know if it works fine once you get a chance to set it up? Thank you!

In the process of designing it, this idea came up as well, however I ultimately decided against it because on a closer look I realized it will be an issue, for one some countries have only 2 digits while others 3, then for a country like US with many stations the number will end up even longer than what we have now.

It was a system I liked also yet upon implementation things became clear that are not workable and will cause a lot of headache programming wise.

Another system that also came up in the procees is using the 2 letter country code plus station number, so FJ001 and so on. Will have to see how the people receive the current setup and take it from there.

>The New York Police Department’s Knightscope K5 debuted in Times Square amid fanfare from Mayor Eric Adams. It ended its brief tour exiled to a vacant storefront, all alone.

>The Police Department assigned officers to chaperone the K5, which could not navigate stairs and spent much of its time plugged into its charger.

>It was an ignominious end for an experiment that Mayor Eric Adams, a self-described tech geek, hoped would help bring safety and order to the subways, at a time when crime remained a pressing concern for many New Yorkers.

>"Eventually, this is going to be part of the fabric of our subway system," Mr. Adams said in September, when he hailed the robot's arrival in Times Square, part of a monthslong pilot project that he said was costing the city only $9 an hour.

"This is below minimum wage," Mr. Adams said. "No bathroom breaks. No meal breaks. This is a good investment."
I'll throw this in as well -- https://esim.me/

It's not an "eSIM" per se, but it's a physical SIM card that has the eSIM module onboard. This lets your physical devices use eSIM providers.

One weird thing they do though is a strange licensing model where you can buy the physical card locked to one specific phone, one specific brand of phones, or any phone, plus a set number of eSIM slots. The Omni/15 is the "best" of them all.

You DO need an Android device to be able to set the active carrier; however, once the active eSIM slot is set you can pull the SIM and put it in something else and use that selected carrier.

I also liked Airalo, worked very well. It was nice to use when visiting Montenegro. I paid 15 eur for 5 GB or so (valid 30 days)? But at the airport I immediately saw 100 GB for 5 eur or something like that :) (100 GB is practically unlimited, you can stream for a month and not hit it.) Still, it's nice to arrange everything from home before you leave.

I think many places allow you to get a very good esim deal locally nowadays.

Depends what you mean by "more than VM handling". VMware handles everything you could possibly think to do with VMs and many you probably never thought about. For example: Scripted live migration. Single click to deploy a test network of VMs. Virtual desktops. Wrap up a VM in a single file that can be "played" remotely. Scan all your VMs for vulnerabilities.

Beyond VMs they attempted to branch out into containers with a version of Kubernetes (VMware Tanzu) which I believe didn't get many sales.

The competition are roughly:

- All the cloud providers

- oVirt (formerly Red Hat's RHV, probably the closest thing to vSphere in terms of UI and deployment)

- Kubenetes + Kubevirt

- Openstack, probably

- Virtuozzo

- Virtual Box

- Proxmox

- Nutanix

- Single node installations using things like virt-install

- Rolling your own management on top of KVM or Xen (surprisingly popular but I wouldn't recommend it myself)

> And no, confabulation isn't a normal thing which humans do

This is entirely wrong. Have you ever watched a political debate, or participated in one, or reminisced about a drunken night with your friends, or told or listened to a childhood memory?

Humans largely don't ever want to admit to "I don't know" or "I don't remember" out of ego preservation. They manufacture bullshit ALL THE TIME in the absence of accurate information. There is nothing rare about this at all.

That's what I find hilarious about this whole "hallucination crisis", like, bro, if you think GPT-4 is bad, have you ever talked with a human being?

The article is spot on.

It's the ideal 'how hard can it be?' joke project, except it's all true.

The list of examples is too long to count, but if you approach the problem incorrectly you're soon left with the question 'how much should the customer pay' and then 'why didn't we charge this amount but something else' and when this happens too often finance comes in and asks what did you do because the reports which run the company (including whether to lay off people or not) are not trustworthy.
Yeah it was the ThinkPad 755CV / 755CDV

It's context-dependent, but that's the basic idea. In the UK for example, we currently have quite a right-wing government in power, which is:

* Undermining our Supreme Court by trying to force through a migrant deportation scheme which the court has ruled unlawful

* Eroding the Police Force's independence by claiming they are biased in their approach to protests

* Trying to defund and delegitimise the BBC

It might be because I'm fairly left wing myself, but I think you have go pretty far into authoritarian-left territory (think Stalinism) before you start becoming seriously anti-democratic. Before that point most leftists are pretty keen on giving power and choice to ordinary people and communities.
I have never made such a move, but here is what I would do at a minimum, having dealt with healthcare in the US a lot. I would make sure I qualify for health insurance through work immediatly on starting. If not, you may have to pay for a few months on a healtcare exchange plan, which will likely be expensive but provide bridge coverage. Get signed up immediately. Know whether or not you will need a refferal to visit a specialist. Bring copies of your medical records with you. If you can go straight to a specialist, find a GI doc, maybe one that other chrons patients in your new area recomend, if you can find anyone online or know anyone in your area. Otherwise, get setup with a primary care doc and see if they will prescribe the meds based on your medical records or reffer you out... it will depend on the doctor and their comfort with the meds and your issues if they will be willing to do this, so expect to be reffered to a GI specialist. Emphasize how urgent it is. Even if you go straight to a specialist, get setup with a primary care doc right away, too. Don't be afraid to change doctors or seek a second opinion.

Bring as many doses of your current meds as you can with you. How quickly you can get in to see some one will depend on where you are in the US. Ask them to put you on a cancellations call list if your appointment is further out, they will sometimes call if they have a cancellation and you can get in earlier... depends on the practice. Emphasize with them when you talk to scheduling how urgent it is because you need to continue your meds. Be kind in all your interactions, and they can often find ways to work you in if they understand how urgent it is.

Don't be afraid to call around to find a specialist with an earlier opening, even if you change specialists later becuase one is a better fit.

The top down approach has actually been the state of the art in America for the last 5-10 years. It has been the state of the art in Europe since at least 5 years earlier than that-- And the conflict between the two schools of thought has been very interesting to observe.

This study is not really net-new information, but it does add to the pile of evidence in favour of the more aggressive treatment approach. There are still a very large number of specialists who have not yet updated their views.
> the knife is a secondary tool

It is secondary overall, but during the act of cutting itself it is the primary tool — the fork merely holds the food in place. Thus the differing "European" and American etiquette standards for utensil-holding (maintain fork in left hand vs. switch when cutting).

("European" in quotes because it is not ubiquitous across Europe [1])

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_utensil_etiquette

What is most interesting to me is that we even have these arbitrary standards for social class judgement.

When I was in Europe I made myself surprisingly uncomfortable trying to emulate the utensil etiquette of the people I was eating with. It was doubly painful when we ate pizza, which I wanted to pick up, fold in half and eat with my hands.

Depends on the jurisdiction but typically no.
I can tell you that Adalimumab is going to be at least as effective as Infliximab, and probably marginally better, at a minimum. This will obviously vary by patients, but Adalimumb is simply a superior design (it has comparable-to-somewhat-superior epitope conformation/selectivity, and has a humanized Fc part which has a much more favourable immunologic profile), and tends to statistically outperform.

They both have roughly the same target, but Adalimumab is a more recent, technologically superior in every way, design. I'm frankly not 100% sure why any doctor would want to start someone on Infliximab in 2024 if Adalimumab was also available. I think the kind of doctor who does this is the kind of doctor who hasn't caught wind of the fact that early treatment with the best biologics leads to better patient outcomes (this is not the first paper that suggests this, it's a trend in clinical research that dates back at least 15 years). More traditionally, Infliximab was given first, and patients who failed that treatment were then "ramped up" to the equivalent but superior Adalimumab.

Nowadays the state of the art is to start with Adalimumab right off the bat, or even better, one of the newer biologics: either an integrin targeting one like Natalizumab or Vedolizumab (I admit to not being as up to date on this therapeutic avenue as I am on the others), or an IL23/IL12 targeting one like Ustekinumab (although the latter has already been obsoleted by the more p19-selective Risankizumab).
Neither. I think we’ve been talking at cross-purposes. This was the start of the thread:

> It's just nonsensical to use a device that dictates what you can install on it. Well, Androids don't come with root permissions either ( you should be able to get it easily if you want imo ) but at least you can install any app, even just create your own.

I’m approaching this in the context of side loading (the “you can install any app” part). Other people in the thread have as well:

> If we're getting technical you don't need to jailbreak to sideload on iOS either. AltStore automates the tedium but you can side load just fine on iOS too (for now).

In case you are unaware, it’s somewhat popular to register Apple developer accounts to build and run apps that aren’t on the App Store. That’s what AltStore is all about.

If you don’t have a Mac, you can use a build server for this. Build servers are incredibly common and have been for many years. They haven’t just popped up in the last couple of years.

I see now that you aren’t talking about this at all; you are talking about developing apps. In that context, I agree. You wouldn’t normally use a service like that as a substitute for a development machine (although a very small number of people do actually do this!). But I wasn’t talking about that. I was talking about the side loading case.

Nevertheless, you don’t need “a multithousand dollar apple machine” at all, even for development. I believe the cheapest machine you can buy from Apple brand new that lets you develop and submit an app to the App Store is the 9th gen iPad at 329 USD. Or, if you insist upon a computer, the Mac mini at 599 USD. And of course you don’t have to buy new, so the actual cost of the machine you need is significantly lower than that.

Yeah, lets blame Global Warming on the environmentalist.

Cashflow and Revenue are two separate concepts.

You can cash a check today for revenue you accounted for 90 days ago.

You need to reconcile it but it doesn't have to happen at the same time. It's very normal to reconcile months later.
So what you are trying to say is "don't use complex language features unnecessarily"? That is a very different statement.
Short answer "it depends." Long answer:

It depends on your jurisdiction, the entities involved, the amount of money involved, and probably more. However, it's not possible to know ahead of time, you'd need to go to court and argue why this entity is being unreasonable in demanding the money be returned.
I hope it was clear that an iphone was just an example. But your examples are better. Healthcare and education is more accessible and better than it was in the 1920s or 30s by a long shot. It's not even comparable.

And very few people had pensions back then either. The standard 401k is like a money printer compared to options back then. There certainly were times when pensions were more widespread. But I don't think if you zoom out to 50-100-200 year timelines, that healthcare, education, and retirement security are even comparable.

> staff at food places can be sometimes less than reliable about food allergy concerns

In 2000, I was working at an NYC restaurant (Josie's on Third) -- it was a new non-dairy health-focused organic-everything restaurant. The waitstaff was trained in all the ingredients and many of the sources and were highly conscious of needs of our customers. We were tested on it a staff meal.

One day, two friends sat to dine... we brought bread and our non-dairy spread. Customer asked "what is this?" I replied, "it is red-pepper tahini, an alternative to butter". I take their order, tend to other tables and arranging beverages, when I come back around 5 minutes later the table is empty. I ask my manager "what happened?"

The lady had a severe sesame allergy and was rushed to the hospital -- *she did not know that tahini was sesame paste and I did not tell her*. I have no idea what happened to her and I think about this several times per year.

For the last 15+ years, I have been a hands-on operator of complex computer systems operator. This experience has absolutely shaped how I communicate with teams, how I look at how failures may happen, how to expect the unexpected, etc.

I now have a son with peanut allergies. It also influences how we dine. It is not easy and I'm glad there's out-of-band solutions like these drug therapies. We are not there yet, but might consider it.
Very nice! Thank you very much.

The problem is timing: the past shifts were spread out over many thousands of years, which gave ecosystems time to adjust, and humanity has made many ecosystems less resilient with our expansion and pollution. We also have the practical problem that we have billions of people now living – it does not help someone in Africa getting unprecedented droughts to know that a farmer in Canada is seeing 20% better yields, especially since lost income means they can’t afford to import that extra food.

Similarly, the trending on peak heats means that there are places where many people live which are becoming less survivable. Theoretically India could migrate people to Siberia but the political implications of something like that are orders of magnitude worse than reducing emissions.
Isn't it also necessarily true because the eSIM companies only resell bandwidth from the local telcos who actually own the network? Why would they let a third company undercut their prices...
