> I would have imagined that most people with CF already had extreme anxiety - wondering when the infection that is going to end one's life will arrive. Is it really possible that Trikafta is causing noticeably worse anxiety?

There's a discussion of this in the article. Essentially, a bunch of people have said that they started experiencing extreme anxiety when they started Trikafta, and that stopping or lowering the dose helped immensely. However, clinicians have said that there's no actual evidence that the Trikafta is causal.

So it seems to be a bit of an open question and I'm sure an emotional one on both sides.

As someone also working in the imaging space, ai generated data is useful solong as it's used carefully.

Specifically, we're implementing AI culled training sets which contain some generated data that then gets reviewed manually for a few specific things, then pushed into our normal training workflows. This makes for a huge speedup versus 100% manual culling and the metrics don't lie, the models continue to improve steadily.

There may be a point where they're poisoned and will collapse, but I haven't seen it yet.

Not technically incorrect, but this is absolutely greenwashing
My friend, if you've studied the literature you'd know that gravimetric interference affects the structural integrity of the ship's hull by warping spacetime and thereby applying sheering forces that can only be sufficiently mitigated by activating external shielding. If you encounter a Class Y phenomenon without being fully prepared, it could definitely cause enough lateral sheering force to damage equipment and even cause coupling relays to come out of alignment and emit sparks.
There is a middle ground....

Still have many teams trying to achieve the goal, but prevent corporate secrecy - effectively allowing competitors to look over each others shoulders and copy good data and ideas.

Such a system probably wants to compensate those whose ideas were copied, but that isn't strictly necessary - another approach is to simply make it illegal not to share data/results. Your compensation is your freedom from prison.

I can't speak for GP, but when it's combined with talk therapy, the ketamine allows the body to lower its defenses so that talk therapy can more successfully be administered, and the combination of the two is what leads to long lasting effects, long after the ketamine has worn off. Ketamine let's the patient open up so talk therapy can get at the underlying issue and resolve that, in ways that talk therapy alone can't solve because the patient's flight /fight response/anxiety won't let them let their guard down to really talk about it.
In App Store I like the extra integrations with the apple ecosystem: the history of all downloads, or single place to manage all subscriptions; apple pay and sign in with apple are convenient too.

I want the alternative marketplaces to be that - an extra option that expands what users can do with their devices.

I wouldn’t want popular companies like Adobe, EA, Microsoft, taking their products to their own marketplaces while offering inferior UX.

Why would you limit a model to be like a brain in a vat? Instead let the model out so people use it, then use the chat logs to fine-tune. A chat room is a kind of environment, there is a human, maybe some tools. The LLM text will generate feedback and right there is a learning signal.

Even without a human, if a LLM has access to code execution it can practice solving coding tasks with runtime feedback. There are many ways a LLM could obtain useful learning signals. After all, we got all our knowledge from the environment as well, in the end there is no other source for knowledge and skills.
I'm only here for a few weeks, but it is surprisingly similar to bits of eastern Europe. The USSR was far more unifying in terms of culture than I had imagined for places so geographically far apart, and now, 35 years later, all those ex-ussr societies have evolved in similar ways - with a lot of influence from the west/USA.

IME one reason (out of many) why chronic illness forums tend to be terrible is that people who are managing their conditions reasonably well don't participate much. Which makes sense—the better you're doing, the less time you spend thinking about it and the less time you're inclined to spend discussing it—but that creates an environment where the most miserable voices become the loudest.

And so (1) there's often a disproportionate focus on doom and gloom rather than success stories, which paints a pessimistic picture for anyone joining after a recent diagnosis, and (2) the most prominent voices have a wounded-cornered-animal mentality that makes them defensive and/or prone to lashing out. And I can't totally blame them, given how hard it is to live with a treatment-resistant chronic condition, but it's not the most constructive environment for everyone else.
I'm sure that's true.. but at least in this presentation they seem to have thought through most of them? I want to believe :)

It isn't hard to create an arbitrary set of constraints to single out a single laptop. Just because some laptop has a fan, which is often a complete non-issue in non-Apple laptops (Apple's laptop fans in the models that have them are some of the loudest I've experienced), doesn't mean that it doesn't compete and that there aren't tradeffs. For example, Apple laptops are extremely uncomfortable on your actual laptop due to how hot they get.

I got flagged, but I want to reiterate that you need legal means of stopping AWS from simply lifting your product wholesale. Just look at all the other companies they've turned into their own thankless premium offerings.

Put in a DAU/MAU/volume/revenue clause that pertains specifically only to hyperscalers and resellers. Don't listen to the naysayers telling you not to do it. This isn't their company or their future. They don't care if you lose your business or that you put in all of that work just for a tech giant to absorb it for free and turn it against you.

Just do it. Do it now and you won't get (astroturfed?) flack for that decision later by people who don't even have skin in the game. It's not a big deal. I would buy open core products with these protections -- it's not me you're protecting yourselves against, and I'm nowhere in the blast radius.

One of my friends had a real VT-102 that he used on dialup bulletin boards for years.

I agree that FOSS isn't always the right tool but for maybe different reasons. In my opinion, FOSS works best when there's a slow moving target that allows for small, incremental additions to make it better. This is why FOSS and games tend to not be a good fit and what FOSS and server side infrastructure is a good fit.

Also, in terms of "force", many FOSS licenses have reciprocity or even viral terms associated with them. Violations of that agreement can have legal consequences for organizations.

Show HN: I made a website even my tech un-savvy parents can use to find a laptop
Whenever my parents need a new laptop, they ask me for a recommendation because they’re not very tech savvy. Last time around, I had a realization that I’m fairly algorithmic with my recommendations: I gather information about their preferences and functional needs and then match those to options I can find online.

This website (https://easylaptopfinder.com) attempts to provide a simple UI to intake information about what someone needs and apply the results to a matching algorithm against a list of products. I think it’s cool because sites like Amazon have tons of options but very little in the way of an intuitive UI for people who don’t know what the heck a dedicated vs integrated GPU is or how much RAM they need to do their jobs.

Technically, this is just a single page app on static hosting. The product details come form a JSON file that I periodically refresh using the Amazon Product Advertising API (inspired by the diskprices site that was recently posted online!).

I am definitely still working out the kinks in a few different ways: handling different OS needs, improving the way I discover products and update prices/out-of-stock, figuring out weighting and sorting better, and other UI considerations (I’m definitely not a designer). Anyway, I would appreciate any thoughts you have on the site!
I'm open to the possibility that political or popular traction have no bearing whatsoever on whether something is true.

Basically how it worked was, during the session, my mom would lie down on a couch. I was there with her, therapist on a couch opposite her. She would have a blanket over her (she discovered on the trip also the amazing benefits of weighted blankets, which she now uses to great effect for helping her sleep too). Then the therapist would administer the ketamine via intramuscular injection, it would be a pre-agreed upon dosage based on feedback between you and the therapist. But then yeah, after the injection occurs, there's just some calm relaxing music playing, my mom has an eye cover on and she just lays back and rests. During the initial few minutes generally quite quiet, but she would also share a couple words here and there what she was feeling or seeing, but not really as a way to share more just that was part of her processing it. Generally the therapist and I would not say anything or interfere at all. While I do think my mom was able to kind of get a sense or feeling of / or better sense of proprotion of some psychological things going on inside of her, I suspect a lot of it is simply biochemical. Yes the talk therapy helped and the therapist was amazing, but it wasn't psychotherapy, it was very gentle and I guess helped my mom develop a better sense of proportion. A couple takeaways she had was how certain things weren't as important as others, for example.
Ah yes i disagree with the author, but I understood you were saying they didn’t give an explanation
What you want is the switch to follow a potential function like this:

.-------.
\_/ \_/

The two low energy states are the on/off positions.

Next, we want there to be some friction.

Lastly, we imagine the switch being moved by a mechanism that moves linearly, and is connected to the switch by an invisible spring or rubber band.

As the motion begins, the invisible linkage spring compresses and the switch moves only a little. Then it snaps out of the potential valley and moves across the plateau. Finally it snaps into the other valley, with a bit of overshoot.
Yes. These are standard idioms in low-level performance engineering. This is the kind of thing that would be a fun puzzle for someone with this skill set, something you could come up with in an hour. This particular example does demonstrate a relatively complete understanding of the toolset.

I feel like this kind of knowledge is becoming a lost art these days despite having lost no relevance.
For Java development I use it very frequently. Not so much for any other language, but then I don’t do much programming in other languages either.

Well, I wouldn't use that as an example, as Postgres actually misinplemented write/sync in the past causing data corruption ;)

Regarding having a distributed postgres, that's not an issue actually. As long as all writing workers have access to the same synchronization primitives you can easily use postgres with e.g. k8s volumes in single writer, multiple reader mode. And single master, multiple read replica postgres deployments are common too.

The guarantees you're talking about aren't given by the storage implementation, but by the fact that all write workers run on the same machine.

Not supporting Google (and other companies) financially when they are involved in or profiting from military conflicts, especially when they support states that commit genocide and war crimes, is modern civil disobedience.

Yeah these are great questions.

> Do you mean transactional within the same transaction as the application's own state? My guess is no (from looking at the docs, where enqueuing in the SDK looks a lot like a wire call and not issuing a SQL command over our application's existing connection pool), and that you mean transactionality between steps within the Hatchet jobs...

Yeah, it's the latter, though we'd actually like to support the former in the longer term. There's no technical reason we can't write the workflow/task and read from the same table that you're enqueueing with in the same transaction as your application. That's the really exciting thing about the RiverQueue implementation, though it also illustrates how difficult it is to support every PG driver in an elegant way.

Transactional enqueueing is important for a whole bunch of other reasons though - like assigning workers, maintaining dependencies between tasks, implementing timeouts.

> why take funding to build this (it seems bootstrappable? maybe that's naive)

The thesis is that we can help some users offload their tasks infra with a hosted version, and hosted infra is hard to bootstrap.

> why would YC keeping putting money into these "look really neat but ...surely?... will never be the 100x returns/billion dollar companies" dev infra startups?

I think Cloudflare is an interesting example here. You could probably make similar arguments against a spam protection proxy, which was the initial service. But a lot of the core infrastructure needed for that service branches into a lot of other products, like a CDN or caching layer, or a more compelling, full-featured product like a WAF. I can't speak for YC or the other dev infra startups, but I imagine that's part of the thesis.
I wonder what is the significance of it being a salt rather than a pure lsd?

For d-amphetamine making it a salt produces an effect similar to delayed release. The result is sold as a “more modern” ADHD treatment Vyvanse.

So is this achieving similar effect? Flattening the curve, so to speak?

Or maybe it’s just to distance itself from the recreational LSD culture?
