The idea that eating fat leads to higher body fat is the most dangerously-wrong health misconception in history.
I’ll share an abridged long COVID story about myself since it dearly affected me. Just so other people can kind of know what the experience was like.

I got sick in October 2020 before vaccines were available. After the initial 10 days which I would describe as moderate, borderline severe (6/10, where 7/10 is hospital and 9/10 is ICU) I had all manner of absolutely weird things happen to my body. I won’t go into the details about the actual illness since the symptoms are well documented but suffice to say I had breathing issues and there was a lot of monitoring with the pulse oximeter

First, heart pain. Stabbing in the chest. I got on colchicine and saw a cardiologist. That lasted probably 2-3 months before it finally went away. I had ekg and echocardiogram, both came up clean.

Second, Reynauds. I live in Texas and it gets a little cold but not Nordic cold. For the first time in my life I had Reynauds symptoms during the winter and I lost feeling in my toes entirely unless they were submerged in hot water for multiple minutes. This happened many times that winter.

Next, weird food allergies. Eating anything with gluten caused me to, I kid you not, have me in bed gasping for air for hours at a time. I ate a pizza in this time period and instantly regretted it and that continued for hours.

More extremely strange circulatory issues: I wore a pair of running shoes for years and years before I got sick. I wore that same pair of shoes and it created lines and pain around my feet such that I went to the ER thinking it was a blood clot. No, it’s just that my tight shoes literally just bruised my feet for no explainable reason when they had never done that before.

POTS. Standing up made my heart rate spike for no reason. This is a measurable phenomena for people who have autoimmune disorders called the tilt table test. Had this for months

Everything luckily for me mostly went away within around 6 months. I had a lingering chest pain in breath that is now mostly gone that I genuinely thought I would deal with for the rest of my life. I think it’s basically gone now after almost 4 years.

I’m a scientific dude. My conclusion after all this is that it’s autoimmune and that no one actually understands the mechanism which is why people who complain about this get dismissed. It’s easier for a doctor to say “it’s all in your head” than to admit that the current body of knowledge of medicine simply does not understand what is happening to people’s bodies. I wish and hope that so many people suffering from this stuff like I did changes that perspective a bit.

I want to offer a slightly contrarian view.

Unless you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, the best (safest, surest) way to start your entrepreneurial journey is to work for someone else. The goal is to learn everything about the rules of the trade and expand your network—these two things you don't get from school—while being paid to do that.

On the side, do what PG says to keep your entrepreneurial spirit and avoid "comfort zone" i.e pursuing your career (which is actually fine, but we're talking about starting a business right).

Probably you won't end up building Google. But hey, maybe with this approach, you can give a silver spoon to your offspring.

It‘s similar to how some people in the company’s chat first initiate a longish back and forth of formal chit-chat before actually coming to the point of asking their question. I know full well from the first „hi“ that there will be coming a question my way at some point later but now I have to stop what I was doing and engage in an unnecessary real-time conversation to enable the other side to ask. Whereas if they just asked the question outright it would not matter if I was AFK at the time. I can simply answer asynchronous.

When I come back after lunch and find a message saying simply „hi“ from 30 minutes ago and now that person is AFK it spreads out the conversation over the whole day.

I am not saying you should drop the formalities, but there is nothing that forces you to split it up into multiple messages. Just write „Hi“ followed by the question in the same message.

I think he’s saying that at the time when you’re making the prediction you can’t know. If you're gonna learn som core technology that you can use 7 years later (where he suggests programming) then this makes sense.

I think there’s a strong element of luck here: even if you have general purpose skills in eg programming or CS, once a novel opportunity presents itself, you likely won’t have a head start, especially today. But what can you do about it? Telling kids who are 14-15 that they should bet on some more niched tech like LLMs or even transformers would likely be terrible advice.
I think the point here is that we don't know either way, so maybe we shouldn't attribute it all specifically to COVID. When we were told to act like hypochondriacs for a year or 2, it shifted behavior.

COVID was the devil virus and people were attributing many things to it. And since there is no diagnostic test for "long COVID", we are sorta just guessing everywhere here.

> Once a road hits a certain density of vehicles, the only way to fit more vehicles on the road is to close the gaps between the vehicles.

Even better is to get the cars off the road by having good flow and not jamming it up.

"Closing the gaps" means tailgating or switching lanes to get into those sweet, wide open spaces. These are the primary causes of phantom traffic jams on congested freeways. There's a pretty good deep dive covering this[1].

> I won't read any book recommended by people like you, sorry.

Great, so I can basically stunlock you from reading any author by just mentioning them? In that case, I highly recommend you read The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, Zero to One by Peter Thiel, Founder's Dilemmas by Noam Wasserman....

Seriously, what kind of statement is that, you think you so fundamentally disagree with my values that you will purposefully echo-chamber yourself from anything even seemingly aligned with me? Do you have any idea who Hannah Arendt even is? She's an absurdly well respected Jewish philosopher that fled Nazi Germany by the skin of her teeth. She is frequently cited.

You just did the equivalent of "well some gross lefty recommended I read Sun Tzu's Art of War, I dunno who this Sun Tzu guy is but I don't trust him if he gets recommended by people like THAT!"

I'm honestly flabbergasted at your comment. You're basically proving that speech alone isn't enough, if people like you will put your fingers in your ears and say "la la la, I can't hear you!" Between the two of us, apparently only one is afraid of rigorously challenging their viewpoints!

Seriously, the irony could kill me. She's famous for her covering of the Eichmann trial, a nazi bureaucrat tried for crimes against humanity. She noted that he wasn't a monster, just a person whose morality was clouded by a devotion to bureaucracy and systems. If it's a process, it must be right. Hence "the banality of evil," a term she coined.

> But yes I do believe in some processes, you can host an event on the campus as well to tell everyone how he is wrong.

And his "supporters" (he has few to none) can organize a counter-protest. What's wrong with that? What inherent authority does he have? His message is all he can offer, and it's up to people to challenge it or support it. It's the 2000s, it's not like we can't possibly know what he has to say unless a college gives him a podium. Hell, he can soapbox it in the park if he wants.

> If you were protesting in the hallway outside trying to convince people of your opinion, that is just fine but don't prohibit other people from speaking their minds.

Have you ever actually seen a protest against a speaker? 99% of the time, it involves standing up, shouting your piece, and then being escorted out. Sometimes people shout things back. Oh well, what's the big deal? I find the idea of sitting quietly while someone says something stupid through a microphone, then signing up to give my own talk in 3 months so I can say my own stupid replies through the same microphone, absurd. No human society can survive with that level of bureaucracy throttling the free flow of ideas.

In my experience, the only people that fear free exchange of ideas are people whose ideas depend on deeply entrenched systems to enforce their ideology. Their ideas simply don't withstand fluid scrutiny.
That's a plane designed in the 1960s and last produced in 1984. There's a massive gap in development which Lockheed would need to run through. Why would Lockheed even do this? (assuming there isn't a massive subsidy from US government).

Building a passenger jet isn't even that difficult. The difficult part is making it economical - low weight, fuel consumption, high reliability, parts availability, service/repair centers, training facilities, trained crews ...
Fermented foods, especially yogurt, kefir, buttermilk are vital for good health. People buy probiotic pills etc. But all it takes is to buy a tub/can of Greek yogurt. The best snack there is.

My understanding is that processor performance is more important for rust compilation than available memory, but ultimately the atrocious compilation times are why I struggled so much with Rust.
All this talk about frame pointers enabled on various Linux distros and we still haven’t talked about the biggest one, which would be Android. Have they decided to compile with frame pointers yet? The last time I looked in to this many years ago, some perf folks on the Android team dismissed it as a perf regression (and also ART was already using the FP register for its own purposes).
Stop saying “aviation fuel” when you specifically mean the thing with lead. Aviation fuel is a generic category that captures jet fuel and other lead free variants.

It makes it sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about because you’re making an incorrect statement about a general category.

Definitely outliers. The Steam hardware survey [0] is obviously not a perfect measurement, but in its February results only ~3% had 64GB and only ~0.3% had more than that.

I recently upgraded to 64GB to run quantized LLM models, but when I'm not using an LLM I rarely use more than 16GB, much less 32GB.

The problem with Joe Rogan is that he's not smart and his audience is not smart. He's a pseudo-intellectual. He gifts crackpots an enormous audience of gullible people. He lends credibility to them with softball interviews devoid of critical analysis. He's spoon-feeding suckers what they want to hear. He couches it all in a thin veneer of balanced reporting and barstool philosophizing, under the guise of fairness, but he's elevating ideas that have no business being elevated. It's even worse than outright promotion.
Funnily enough, RAM I find I can use no matter how much I have, especially now that you have LLMs. I can run a quantised Mixtral 8x7B on 64GB RAM.

But the 7950X is grossly underutilised, I don't know what to do with it.
If you want to experience true frustration, try buying one of those 3d metal kits which require a set of pliers to assemble. The instructions are incredibly sparse and an incredible amount of precision is required.

If you want a bit of an increased challenge, Gundam models tend to be a bit more difficult than Lego while still feeling stimulating and fun.
This comment just reinforces my belief that it’s autoimmune related. I have never had Reynauds (or ANY of these symptoms) before or after this. It was the first and only time I have ever seen any of the things I mentioned happen to my body. They just… went away and I was normal again eventually, luckily for me. Many aren’t so lucky

This is a conjecture, not a study.

Sorry if that seems to be nitpicking, but I see too many "studies" like this. A study is supposed to report the truth of something that the author studied.

But this is an idea that the author liked and explored, and then wrote up.

Maybe we can keep calling these studies, and come up with another term for fact based studies. And not "theory" please, that word in a scientific context just confuses everyone.

Edit: "research paper" might be a good name (I saw someone else call it that in a post). i.e. "Research paper posits/theorizes/suggests that Fermented ....."

Also the paper itself doesn't call itself a study, it calls itself an article.
Question is: Is something true or not? If you can prove it then you know it is true. If you cannot prove it all you know is you cannot prove it. It still could be true, or false. So the best you can do is to TRY to prove it, and/or try to prove its negation.

As pointed out by others generating random true statements is not very interesting because you can generate such trivially by appending && true as many times as you want to the statement.

So in general you always want to prove something, because only that can tell you something about what is true and what is not.
Extremely profitable licensing happened. They're much better these days at making everything reusable than they used to be, though, and it's rare for anything beyond prints/stickers to be set-specific. Even prop pieces like Harry Potter wands or Star Wars blasters regularly get reused in unrelated sets as part of the bric-a-brac.
It's the perfect example of a bad DSL.

A "DSL" like SQL that you use hundreds of times a year you'll learn the model of.

A DSL like groovy that you use once for project setup (and for that you'll one-off it likely and stackoverflow the rest of the question) is not. And it isn't really natural, it's a bunch of arcane steps that at the end might superficially look a bit consistent, but still really isn't.

Groovy really needs an autocompleter or a generator. Or, well, as you say, you stackoverflow for everything outside the very vanilla basics of it.

But good luck getting the right version match to the syntax you need. Christ.

Ask HN: How do you analyze time series data in 2024?
I inherited a large time series JSON dataset in 2024. I've been successful in using the Observable Framework[1] by writing a Rust (rust-script) data loader[2] to parse and plot simple line charts[3] to visually see the data. There are hundreds of graphs over years of data so I would like to identify what graphs I should be paying attention to. My initial thought is to calculate metrics on each graph such as:

- Variability: how "spread out" are the data points from one another?
- Trend: direction of data path, up or down?
- Slope: are the data points increasing or decreasing?
- Level: where are the data points on the vertical axis?

What libraries, AI, databases, etc... would you recommend that would allow me to calculate these values? I am no data scientist and don't need forecasting but overall, I just want a dashboard that shows the most "important" graphs.
