I don't think entropy can be defined as your lack of knowledge, at least straight out. You have to be careful as under strict Bayesianism knowledge can't ever decrease, implying that entropy is monotonically non-increasing, and that's clearly wrong.
Imagine if tomorrow, it was announced there had been a discovery that doubled average human life expectancy to 150. There would be happiness, but there would also be chaos. How many people would quit all the things they'd told themselves they were too old to change? The job they were grinding out until retirement. The marriage they'd resigned themselves to? Imagine billions of people getting pulled backwards back across the midlife crisis line, realizing that yes, maybe there IS more to life than "this". The days and weeks after that announcement would be some of the most chaotic the world has ever seen.

Is it? Really?? Then start with sussing it out, not glossing over doing the proff. This obnoxious heavy handed stiff arming by the media (on the left) only undermines their credibility. Why don't they realize that?

This feel like a page out of the Covid playbook. That is, just keep repeating something despite the lack of actual facts.
I'm honestly shocked that with all the ways iphone users are supposed to live in a better world than me, they lack this simple, obvious useful ability that the lowliest SMS/MMS user has.
I just tried to be concise. So my question was if somebody could guess a way how carbs deficiency or OMAD can harm teeth and skin health.

I could share my whole menu of low-carb foods I eat every dinner and you would see that sounds like a Robin O'Bobin's dinner, certainly more calories than necessary. Would you count your calories precisely when it's just obvious you over-eat (incl. caloric-dense fatty meats, cheeses and oils, also supplement digestive enzymes) but don't have any concerns about weight?

Sure, I also experimented with severe caloric restriction and water fasting - these made me feel surprisingly energized, high-stamina and physically-performant, notably without loosing weight (this still puzzles me). But I don't find this very relevant because that was a different story, separated by time and by some time of a carbs-rich diet which caused swift recovery.

Both had the same ill effect on skin and teeth.

I even have a hypothesis of my own: perhaps that is insufficient endogenesis of hyaluronate which needs glucose as its pre-precursor.

And Mistral suggests this indeed is a good clue:

«However, a very low carbohydrate diet can potentially impact the health of various tissues in the body that rely on hyaluronic acid for their structure and function. For example, a low carbohydrate diet can lead to decreased skin hydration and elasticity, joint pain, and dry eyes due to changes in the hyaluronic acid content of these tissues.»

What I am going to try the next is hyaluronate supplementation or intense glucosamine supplementation (as moderate glucosamine supplementation didn't help).

"6-7x" over "100k" you were claiming earlier is not right. mean specialist versus PCP is ~50k on average, with huge regional variability.

In the 70s and 80s, I'm told general practitioners made more money then specialists, something I agree with. But even now, lots of people want to do general practice. The smartest person in my med school class went into pediatrics because she loved it. Money is not the biggest motivator for speciality choice, but it is one. Isn't this the case in literally every other field? Maybe SWEs who are full stack get paid more or something?
Looks like every province pays for Trikafta now: https://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/our-programs/advocacy/access-t...

Of course, it's Canada, so you may have private drug coverage and then it depends on province whether you fall back to the public coverage if the private payor doesn't cover it.

> The third-generation of modulators, Trikafta, is a new transformational drug that can treat up to 90% of Canadians with cystic fibrosis. Trikafta was approved for sale in Canada on Friday, June 18th, 2021, by Health Canada for people aged 12 and up with cystic fibrosis and at least one F508del mutation and on April 20, 2022 for those aged six and up. As of September 13, 2022, every province, territory and federal drug program is funding this drug for those six and up.

There's all sorts of stuff in here I disagree with ("Hamas has by all accounts treated its detainees well"? There's video footage!) but it doesn't matter. We're not going to resolve Israel/Palestine on an HN thread. I have a very limited point to make here, which is that it can't possibly be the case that a party to a war can't kill civilians under any circumstances. If you agree with that, there's nothing for us to debate.

>"This could instead be explained by having a IQ , not savant syndrome. People"

Can he remember what is essentially thousands of numerical data points? I would think that kind of photographic memory would be pretty similar to savantism? Also what do you mean by "explained by having a IQ"? An IQ is just some test's measurement of our intelligence, so I don't know how that is relevant.

I am just as skeptical as you though.
Perhaps it's a question of learning style, or listening style, but with a printed book I can change the pace in the middle of a sentence, heck, the middle of a word, based on how distracted I am, how much I understand the context, etc.

Okay - log a hash/fingerprint then.
I think you need to think about society as something that can only "buffer" a few months of productivity, or a few years at most. It doesn't matter what monetary system you use to value things. Prices will adjust to reflect supply and demand. It makes no sense for you to be able to save for X decades and then declare you have a right to Y decades worth of other people's productivity later in exchange.

The only way to get what you want is to physically save the goods and services you want to buy in the future, but obviously that is impractical. Hence, society, markets, money, and inflation or deflation to balance the supply and demand of goods and services.

Imagine a world where everyone is your age. You and everyone around you works and is productive. You're saving money. Then, you all retire around the same time. What value does that money have? You all have money, but there's nothing to buy with it. This is obviously an extreme example. But what you want is also extreme: that population and productivity are constant over time.

For context, I’m also an aspiring SaaS founder and I was tired of having troubles looking for problems to solve, so I prototyped a tool that helps compile the problems/pain points people are facing currently, along with some solutions.

We are building the platform and are looking for people to apply to join as a beta tester (free), it'd help a lot if you do, cheers.

To keep it simple, members of the platform gets access to:

1. A bank of problems/pain points people are facing, ranked by common occurrence.
2. Solutions to solve those problems along with some analysis of the solutions (like SWOT)
3. Access to a community of like-minded SaaS founders to help you in your SaaS journey (members only discord server)

That sounds like reason for a “won’t fix” response more than a reason not to file the bug in the first place. If nothing else it provides an opportunity to explain why it is the way it is.

You're right. The "technical marvel" of the iPhone was the size of its battery. Treo's and Blackberry's were already there with the hardware. But the software. Apple's pretty good with software, so their implementation also made a difference.
Hopefully you are also technical. If not, you will need to offer something besides just an idea. I've been a technical co-founder and will only partner with someone that can offer: lots of startup capital, an inside track to the industry of the startup/company, an existing network of clients that can be contacted (and sold potentially sold to).

Nice clue. I'll try. But how does the acid get there in this case? For an isolated experiment condition I would even ask how can acid get into you mouth the days you don't eat anything at all and only drink water? Do you mean the very saliva is secreted more acidic? I thought the primary source of acid in the mouth are oral bacteria eating carbs remains and producing it.
Google had a long running joke on their website where if you searched for idiot in the White House under the Bush 2 regime, the first response was Bush. People thought it was funny, others complained and nothing was done.

When the Obama regime came in, it was fixed within days.

That was the start of the google not being apolitical internally. Since then, it has been going downhill because they constantly break their algorithm for whatever they are into this week.
> Amazon EC2 also sends a notification in your email

Interesting. I had seen EC2 instances running for multiple years and never saw this so I assumed that this isn't possible. I know for a fact that GCP has live migration where while the service would be degraded for few seconds, you don't need to do anything so I assumed AWS also had something similar.

Ask HN: What took you from being a good programmer to a great one?
I'm a self taught programmer who spends most of my available free time writing or exploring new coding projects or concepts, But I have found my self hitting a sort of a wall.

In the beginning it was exciting because I was learning so much that was new and was able to apply it and see tangible results. Now Im at the peak of my programming abilities so far with my current knowledge in programming and ability to understand and apply concepts, though I no longer feel like Im getting better each day.

Im just wondering if others have had a similar experience and what concept, idea or project was able to get you past this wall?
That's exactly what I'm saying. Apple is creating its own rules to make it as hard as possible while pretending they opened up.

Not your parent commenter. I considered it many times and with time became a tooling expert in many, many CLI areas. It's rare for me to be asked "do you know of a CLI tool that does X and Y?" and for me to be unable to answer. 1 out of 20 times, probably.

Problem is that nobody wants to pay only for that, or I had a really shitty luck and didn't make a special effort to find better companies (reflecting back, sadly both are true).

So wherever I worked, I was the senior dev + the tooling expert everyone was asking advice from. The latter part became like a hobby that I never managed to monetize.
I've used protodump before, but have found that some applications don't embed the .proto data.

It may be bit-rotted by now, but a couple of years ago I hacked together a python script that would extract a proto definition from Objective C apps by scanning the assembly output and looking for the patterns of code generated by the protoc compiler. I put it on github in case it is useful to somebody.

https://gist.github.com/dunhamsteve/224e26a7f56689c33cea4f0f...

Compiled ObjectiveC is a bit simpler than compiled C/C++, you can read the method invocations out of it. I haven't looked into how hard the output of Swift is to read.

I've also analyzed protobuf data (Apple Notes) by writing code that decodes the data in a generic fashion and output a guess at the schema. I would run on about 100 samples, to help distinguish binary data from sub-objects, to detect optional fields, and to detect 'repeated' fields. Then you have to go through and figure out what all of the fields are.

I succeeded, but later learned that the notes web app embedded the plain text .proto file, which would have made things a lot easier.

I noticed when watching lions/tigers/bears in nature documentaries killing an animal, they don't eat muscle meat, they go immediately for the organs (liver, heart, etc). It's the "second-tier" predators like coyotes and hyenas that eat the muscles.

Events are just one of many signals that you can use to start a conversation. Reach out to every interest that is going, or that may want to go and just use the event as a reason to talk. I've landed A LOT of great leads by just reaching out about events that ultimately neither I nor the contact was going to. It was a good enough reason to start a conversation and assess fit/interest.

When you reach out you can position yourself as a thought leader, someone saving them time, etc.
Justice Dept. opens criminal probe of mid-flight blowout on 737 MAX plane
Yes, that's exactly right.

BTW, you apparently don't understand what "saving" actually is. There are two kinds of saving. You can save by putting cash under your mattress, or you can save by putting money in the bank. These operate in fundamentally different ways. When you put money in the bank, it gets loaned out so that people can use it for productive activities. When you put it under the mattress it just sits there. It's very hard to lend bitcoin because there is no way to record a bitcoin transaction as a debt in the blockchain. All bitcoin transactions are structured as cash payments. So "saving" bitcoin is necessarily under-the-mattress type savings rather than in-the-bank type savings. This is one of the fundamental limitations of bitcoin, and one of the many reasons why it cannot be a currency, only a commodity.

I'm not sure what the point is of posting such pop-media clickbate is on HN, but I'll bite (click) since it made it's way through whatever gauntlet is in place. The walk of fame (like this post) itself is silly, but hey, it's something. Isn't the fact that someone's star, like Donald Trump's as cited in the article, continues to be defaced actually a thing of beauty vice a source of ridicule? Memorials that once were a place for remembering "honorous achievement" can indeed, equally, become a source of disgrace when viewed in a new light. However, to forget the disgraced is inviting an opportunity to relive the horror. Use plackards and moving trucks (i.e. to diaplace faltered memorials to a new location), not wrecking balls. The latter is akin to selective memory suppression.
Hyperdrive turns existing regional database into a globally distributed database
This is a good write up about the LED street lights that fail by turning purple. I took a panoramic picture of purple streetlights in Phoenix recently: https://twitter.com/jamesknochel/status/1762862867861451027

I spoke with someone who worked on Phoenix’s streets department. Around 2015 they pulled all their high pressure sodium lights and replaced with 4000k led fixtures. After a while they did it again, replacing the 4000k leds with 2700k. They’re slightly less obnoxious than the 4000k fixtures, but inferior to ~2000k (almost blue-free) high pressure sodium bulbs.

The main advantage of LED fixtures over high pressure sodium bulbs is the LEDs were supposed to last 10 years, whereas the HPS bulbs have to be replaced every 5 years.

HPS bulbs are much better for safety, as our eyes work best with orange light under low-light conditions.

Edit: Phoenix’s page about their led conversion: https://www.phoenix.gov/streets/led
