I once rented a cabin on Cape Cod, right next to the beach. The path to the beach had big clumps of grass growing at the sides, with overhanging blades of grass. The first day we realized that every single clump of grass had numerous questing ticks on them. You could see them clearly, all just waiting to latch on to you as you walked by. Honestly, it was kind of terrifying.
memorization for you, interesting. well the first step is admitting.

unique to evolution though, this habit assumes that everything is beneficial for navigating the environment aside from just reproduction, or the most beneficial compared to unimagined alternatives that died out and simply can't be observed. it ignores other population ending factors despite that line of population having more beneficial traits to today's environment.

the only "evolved because" answer to evolution is "some mutant reproduced", and reality is even more crass than that given how that mutant reproduced a lot
Kills ticks but also kills cats

AFAIK there has only been one documented case of it killing a kitten and it drank the liquid form, unknown quantity. Baby animals do not yet have fully formed livers to metabolize the sodium channel blocker. Insects on the other hand do not have a liver. They use body fat to detoxify but it isn't fast enough or volumetric enough to handle the sodium channel blocker in large amounts relative to their size.

> as a pedestrian you should almost never have to share a space with bicycles

These collisions are mostly at intersections, which aren't avoidable on a flat surface you would need to go 3D.

I'm in favor of raised sidewalks for pedestrians, but they are relatively pricey infrastructure.

Edit: > That no fatalities bit is the crucial part.

Globally I think the rates are quite a bit lower. But in the US it's closer than it might seem based on how many more drivers there are than cyclists. Cyclist only kill about 4 pedestrians per year in the US, but cyclists are also vastly less common especially on a per mile basis. https://www.nationalworld.com/news/politics/pedestrians-kill...

To be clear I don't this says as much about bikes as it does the biased population of people currently using them.
At least re-enabling FPs is possible.
This shows that understanding is a process.
I can't think of a more effective means of determining if a potential mate is deathly ill than smelling and tasting their mouth, before diving in downstairs.
trying to spot ticks in heavy brush as you are walking seems like a inefficient approach. They take a while to attach so if you do a thorough review after your activity you should be good. It's also a lot easier to strip down to your birthday suit in the privacy of your own home.
of course there are people that want to be examples of "you're why we can't have nice things" or "ruining for the rest of us"
That sounds similar to Lantos' statement

>"given the countless cases of verified Iraqi [here: Israeli, the author] human rights violations", it was "unnecessary and counterproductive to invent atrocities."

In that sense I do see the connection between that made-up event and the bombed hospital, in that it doesn't really matter if this specific case happened, there's enough true ones to go around.

That is to only say that I now get your point, not that I agree to what I would call muddying the waters.
>my first email address was ihnp4!chinet!ka9dgx

For those not familiar with bangs (exclamation points) in email addresses, there was a time when you had to include routing information in the address so your server would know how to find the destination server.

Each hop in the routing path was separated by a bang.

A sprayable gel could make minimally invasive surgeries simpler and safer
Some of my most profound joys have been small moments like that with my, now, 5-year-old. Many of them about the physical world or technology, but also just discovering all the best little things about being alive - like pie.
Anything but regular blood tests is just awful hocus pocus. It doesn't have to be a mystery. Just get tested ffs.
Absolutely. Usually not about the complexity required to make it (although the thought "holy shit, even with all of today's knowledge making a simple generator or motor in medieval times would be nearly impossible due to the need to have wire, and to have that you need..." has crossed my mind), but I've occasionally stopped to admire the amazing engineering that went into some simple everyday objects.

Either something made in a genially simple way, or something that's much more complex than it looks at first glance, or just really clever problem solving in general. I don't remember what it was the last time, but I do remember something made me stop for a few minutes just so I can go "wow" at the engineering, discovering one little detail after the other.

IKEA furniture are masterpieces of engineering, often using just the absolute minimum of material to still deliver a decent-quality product, designed so it can be not just manufactured but also delivered and inventoried cheaply, and easily assembled by the average consumer.
I foresee we'll soon have an "Organic Software", "Software Made By Humans" seal of approval.
Yeah, I disagree. During the pandemic I did a year of heavy cycling, including a 525-mile trip over 7 days. While cycling got a lot easier, I didn't stop sweating.

My family is full of heavy sweaters, and I live in states where it gets into the 80s-90s in the summer. My girlfriend however seems to never sweat, even when pushing herself.

Admittedly, I struggle to maintain a "casual speed."
Nah, you just throw it out and have the AI generate an all new one with different problems!

Just do some interviews. Like 10. You'll see what you are good at and what you are not good at. Focus on trying to improve what you are not very good at. You might be okay at interviewing or you might be really bad. You wont know until you do some interview.

You can also do something like interviewing.io or just have a friend interview you to get an idea without actually having to interview with a company.
We lost entire $1.4M life savings 'after Wells Fargo call'
I do have a quite nice (and growing) amount of personal assets, yet I bike everywhere on my now 17 year old bike. My grandpa still has his bike of 60 years (and grandmas of 55). Of course will a $10k bike more likely be stolen over a $100 bike. Though proper bike infrastructure also lessens that risk quite a bit. Or where you personally live is an international crime hotspot.

No, they are completely different.

If you were watching a movie on Prime and Amazon inserted an ad before the movie that would be annoying but normal.

But what if your TV manufacturer injected an ad over the movie?

That would not be the moral equivalent of the first example, and if you just blamed Amazon then all the TV manufacturers would jump on the bandwagon.
Yeah that's what all the astrophysicists thought too. I didn't know where you're getting the idea that DM doesn't follow the same rules as everything else, though.
> Should we regulate to prevent jobs from being replaced?

Not at all what I'm saying. What should they have done? Not trained on code they weren't explicitly licensed to do so, and only given access to workers.

The message of companies offering "productivity gains" (or outright replacement: "Hire Devin") to workers is "we're only interested in putting you out of work; how you pay your mortgage and get health care is your concern; call your congressperson". The fact that they're pushing hard to replace workers and flat out stating that their business models are illegal under current copyright law says everything about their offering: hey big business, if we put a carve out in copyright law your SWE headcount goes to zero; call your congressperson.

Hence my original--earnest--question: do you all who are working on AI honestly think the government will fix this?

LLVM doesn’t spend really any runtime solving the phase ordering problem since the pass pipelines are static. There have been proposals to dynamically adjust the pipeline based on various factors, but those are a ways out from happening.

Show HN: Fake or real? Try our AI image detector
Hey HN! We're Ayman and Dylan, co-founders of Nuanced (https://www.nuanced.dev/). We want to share a tool we’re working on to detect fake and real images: https://trial.nuanced.dev/demo/.

The UI is bare-bones but you’ll get the idea. Drag or upload an image and our tool will display the probabilities with which it thinks that the image might be AI-generated or not. If you want, you can click “No, it’s AI” to confirm that the image was AI-generated, or “No, it’s real” to confirm that the image was not AI-generated.

Why we’re working on this: as AI-generated images continue to blur the line between real and artificial and their adoption and quality rises, so too does the risk for fraud and misinformation. Not being able to trust what you see online threatens whatever level of "realness" or authenticity online material has. Companies like dating apps, news sites, and trust and safety teams have a growing need to distinguish AI-generated images from authentic ones.

The models we built are trained on various architectures, such as Dalle-3, Midjourney, and SDXL, with continuous integration of data from the latest AI image generators. Our technology can detect deepfakes and verify user profile images, documents, IDs, or media images. Additionally, it can detect fake or counterfeit products, services, or experiences being marketed on e-commerce platforms.

We hope it’s fun and would be very interested in any cases it gets wrong, as well as whatever else you’d like to ask or say!
Which is pretty counter-intuitive: it's "copy", then "paste but delete the original"? Much more natural to remember ⌘-c, ⌘-delete, change folders and ⌘-v.
Re: Copenhagen + Amsterdam.

These cities are relatively flat, relatively cool (watch videos of cycling in Copenhagen and you'll see a lot of people in coats and hats), and you don't have to bike very far to get somewhere interesting. There's also the fact that there's a lot of bikes on the paths (which, for me, caused me to slow down considerably from my typical bike pace when I visited). This all combines to mean you aren't putting anymore effort in than a short walk: you just end up going a little farther in the same amount of time.

Re: the rest.

When I was a regular cycle commuter (in a Canadian city) I did pack a change of clothes, spare deodorant and/or wore a removable outer layer that resisted road gunk. Road gunk is _much worse_ on any route you share with cars. Dedicated bike paths tend to be quite clean. Paniers are far better than a backpack, since they sit on the bike frame, you barely notice the weight. But as other commenters noted: a little fitness goes a long way. After a year of commuting, my regular route wouldn't even cause me to break a sweat.
This is the first time I’ve heard of 12 inch wafers. Are they actually 12”, or just 300mm wafers like everyone else uses?

Too much demand

That's interesting because the article says the opposite, that supply (mostly) proceeds demand when it comes to mobility infrastructure. The fact that demand is showing so readily indicates there is much unrealized potential there.
I don't think London has made quite the strides in bikeability that Paris has since 2020, but when I visited Hackney last year I was astonished to see more bikes during rush hour than cars. Walking down a road to a coffee shop, I actually had to wait a few seconds to cross at the intersection between two bike highways.

Hundreds of people riding bikes to work. And as quiet as the wilderness behind my house in the rural USA. I could hear the wind in the trees, and that was it. Maybe a little drivetrain noise from a poorly maintained bike here or there.

I desperately want to live in a city that quiet. Back when I lived in NYC practically every environment was an assault on the ears.
Yes. I rarely use an ORM.
The fear of vitamin D overdose is GREATLY overblown, people recover even with overdose with ridiculous (2 MILLION) units over several weeks, anyway, it's strange how much fear has been manufactured over this particular "vitamin".
I went to the doctor because I was having difficulty doing the things I really loved. Mountain Biking, Hiking, etc. The motivation wasn't there, but it's all I wanted to do, but couldn't mentally get the drive to do it.

I assumed this was depression, and after some questions, the doctor insisted that it wasn't depression and asked if I had been diagnosed with ADHD in the past.

Then, he asked me to try Wellbutrin as an off-label use for ADHD, which dramatically changed my ability to function. I have since stopped taking it as I have a lot of systems in place that help with my executive function, but I still feel that taking it would make my EFD better.

The feeling of "depression" has since subsided, but I do still suffer from brain fog frequently when I get overwhelmed with scheduling or tasks I deem "insignificant" that I need to do, such as:

Send a short email.
Deposit a check.
Put gas in the car.
Send that Mutual NDA.

But large tasks like:

Run a 5k every day.
Study a language for an hour.
Design that app flow.
Help a friend develop a business plan
Organize and event for 50 people that serves dinner

are typically easy.

It's really the small tasks that break my brain. Big easy are fun and enjoyable because there's a tangible outcome, but small tasks that should be easy but have some sort of barrier just break me.
Interesting! I picked 15 minutes because that’s the shortest possible distance I could imagine having to go to do anything (yes I’m in the USA). Once in my life, very briefly, I managed to afford to live a 15 minute bike ride from my work, and I did it, but (like I said) with the sweaty consequences. Usually it’s 1-2 hours by car.
One of the main factors of the current plateau is the apartment factor. Willing folks in homes already bought and are close to saturation.

Next is to get apartments with parking and those without, aka street chargers. Both are really needed in Los Angeles for example. Which is otherwise EV friendly.

I remember a comment here from someone working on that issue.
I usually prefer digital books for a lot of reasons, they're convenient to bring with me places & I can change my mind about what I will read; I don't get wrist pain from holding the book open; I can read in the dark with just the ereader's backlight on; I have control over font & font size, so I don't have to get used to differences every book I read; there's no chance of papercuts; you can use ctrl+F.

The downsides of ebooks are that I can't write in margins (if it's nonfiction, I would never write in a fiction book), and the ereader chassis conducts heat better than paper so it's extremely cold at first in the winter. Also footnotes are annoying as shit compared to footnotes in paper media, and tabbing back to a known earlier page (e.g. a map for fantasy novels) is worse UX than in a physical book.

Cost aside, ebooks win almost always, although sometimes I'll buy a nice edition of a book I love to decorate my bookshelf, and when I read paper books I enjoy the things they're better at than ebooks.

(And of course there's audiobooks, where physical media makes little sense)
Probably the bank account.
> So, calories in calories out. All you have to do is not ingest them.

That is not at all a conclusion you can draw from the link I provided. This is the conclusion I would draw.

> > In addition to adaptations in energy expenditure with weight loss, body weight is regulated by negative feedback circuits that influence food intake. Weight loss is accompanied by persistent endocrine adaptations that increase appetite and decrease satiety thereby resisting continued weight loss and conspiring against long-term weight maintenance.

But it just feels better to blame the individual.

> That's great, but it's ultimately like administering narcan to an opioid addict. No one argues narcan is bad (it's proven and effective at preventing OD deaths), but also no one argues it is a solution to the addiction (you cant shoot up as much as you want and take narcan if things go unwell).

But that's not how it works at all. It would be like taking a drug that makes you find opioids unappealing, and stopping you from shooting up in the first place.

Honestly you're basically making the case that any chronic condition isn't worth treating because it'll come back if you stop taking the treatment. And that chronic conditions are actually moral failings.

> Obesity of course is not as destructive (to a single individual) as an opioid addiction, but the fact that you regain the weight as soon as you stop taking ozempic etc shows that it's a bandaid.

I'm not sure that's not true. The leading causes of death in the US are heart disease (#1), cancer (#2), stroke (#5) and diabetes (#8) and kidney disease (#10). These are all diseases you are at risk of due to obesity. Opioid overdoses don't even make the list. In fact 15% of prescription opioid use is itself due to obesity. [1]

Obesity is responsible for ~380,000 deaths in the US per year vs about 80,000 opioid deaths. [1] So buddy if this was narcan for obesity (it's not) you should be pretty bullish on it.

See You on Zoom–Or Not
You describe Paris as if it's a shopping/entertainment center for the suburbs. It also looks like you're implying that Paris needs the economic activity generated by the suburbs. For that I would investigate what a suburb is by definition.
Could you expand on how this metric would be practically defined?

The problem isn’t lifting to C code, but rather “good C code”. For example you can do a 1-to-1 translation on each assembly instruction to C code that will do the same Machine state changes. This is not usually why you want, as it comes with a lot of extra cruft. When people think “decompiler” they think of n output that looks like what they would personal write. But that’s very Ill-defined. And, personally idk how one would define such a thing.
Lossy compression has the same problem it has always had: lossy metadata.

The contextual information surrounding intentional data loss needs to be preserved. Without that context, we become ignorant of the missing data. Worst case, you get replaced numbers. Average case, you get lossy->lossy transcodes, which is why we end up with degraded content.

There are only two places to put that contextual information: metadata and watermarks. Metadata can be written to a file, but there is no guarantee it will be copied with that data. Watermarks fundamentally degrade the content once, and may not be preserved in derivative works.

I wish that the generative model explosion would result in a better culture of metadata preservation. Unfortunately, it looks like the focus is on metadata instead.
I think a lot about frequency. I think about the frequency I clean my house, or the frequency I maintain my yard. There were a lot of jokey TikToks about how frequently men change their bed sheets or how frequently they wash their bathroom towels.

Habit seems to be a quick way to say "an activity repeated with some frequency over a long period of time". I think about learning an instrument and how playing X minutes a day is often a recommendation. I think about American Thanksgiving and how it gives a yearly frequency for large family gatherings.

It is interesting for me to consider the activities that I do on different frequencies: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly. One major change I have considered is to reframe importance away from "how much time do I spend on this" into "how frequently do I do this".

Articles about "goal setting" like this one often seem to fall flat for me. I've set all the goals, many times. What I've found many times over is that once I establish the rhythm of life around the activities, I realize that my lived experience doesn't match my expectations.

I guess what I'm saying is, goals aren't enough. You have to understand the frequency of activity you are signing up for when you take on the goal. And if you cannot stomach the frequency of the activities that are required to achieve your goals then no amount of planning will help you. Striking that balance, between goals and the frequency of effort towards them, is the real difficult task.

I believe that is partly responsible for some spiritual ideas around freeing oneself from desire for particular outcomes. There is some value in focusing solely on the activities you engage in frequently without focusing on your attachment to the outcomes.
You can definitely buy 5000 IU pills though.
