I have heard this sentence for years, but nobody has been able to provide an example whose price was not outrageous. I suppose that this sentence is written by people who do not care whether they pay $5 or $50 for their daily food. Such people are not average people.

While it is possible to compose a vegan diet with enough proteins at a reasonable cost, and I do this every day, it is really hard to avoid gaining weight, much, much harder than with a non-vegan diet, where you have access to cheap pure proteins, like chicken breast or turkey breast.

Ever since I have switched to a vegan diet, a couple of years ago, I have to monitor my weight permanently and I have to take corrective actions frequently, despite the fact that I eat much less than most people are used to.
Making doing things right has to be easy. You also need excellent monitoring, because it's inevitable someone will do something else no matter how easy.

There are plenty of people and teams who just want a button to push to run their build. That's not so hard. Give them a CI/CD system and they'll use it.

The problem becomes the people who want to use weird, wildly divergent build processes made of fifteen shell scripts strung together and downloading arbitrary content from random remote servers because they enjoyed engineering it. They'll insist on having a blank slate of a cloud tenancy because no build system can meet their needs. The CI/CD team does not take this case seriously and will never meaningfully support it. Security is in no way staffed to build out a major extension of the CI/CD service.

Perhaps it's the data team, who has decided they would like to datamine large quantities of private information at their leisure, in contravention of privacy policies and contractual language. So they'll jump through hoops and contortions and share passwords every which way in order to do the thing they want. They will deliberately set out to disable monitoring systems because they resent the implications. At no point will they pause to consider if any of this is a good idea.

It's not just about making it easy to be secure. It's also about being able to find and stop people being insecure. One of the important things a security policy - and security organization - does is set boundaries for what activity is and isn't permitted. Crossing those boundaries needs to be watched closely... and yes, punished.
I wish they had included "Typical packet loss per day", which would include routine maintenance downtime. ISP's can easily optimize latency by throwing packets on the floor.
I dislike the town square analogy as well. What town square requires membership and provides anonymity? What town square do people routinely share dissenting opinions? The fact people feel free enough to routinely share dissent on these platforms shows that it's the opposite of a town square. The very act of sharing dissent in the town square used to be provocative in itself. What's provocative about grieving on Twitter?

The town square analogy couldn't be further from reality.

> Without eating animal products society would collapse.

... Wait, how does that follow? Like, if everyone stopped tomorrow, sure, maybe; it would at the very least be a massive economic shock, and would likely lead to critical shortages as well. But phased out over time, it's not clear why this would be the case.
Your statement is only true accidentally. A vegan diet does tend to be lower in protein, so you'll end up eating more carbs and fat, but still getting "enough" protein because most people on a western diet get too much protein.

If you're a professional athlete trying to be vegan, then sure, you'll end up with a weird diet to meet those absurd protein needs, but omnivorous professional athletes tend to have weird diets too for the same reason.

Lifestyle differences in rural areas are much more sedentary now that broadband internet is more available. In urban areas you have social factors and other reasons to walk around or stand up for longer periods.

Couple that with the mentioned shrinking of hospital and healthcare access and yeah you’ve got a double whammy.
Adding my own experience, I take 200MG L-Theanine supplements daily and there is a noticeable calmness. It used in combination with Caffeine a lot to soothe the jitters. There isn't a known LD50 and I've taken up to 600MG, at best I can say it's borderline euphoric. Nowhere comparable to LSD even at the 20MCG level

> It's certainly a reasonable question to ask in this specific case. In hindsight Debian and Red Hat both bet badly when patching OpenSSH in a way that introduced the possibility of this specific supply chain attack.

Notably, Debian bet badly again. They already had this mistake pointed out to them very publicly with the OpenSSL random generator fiasco. Yet they chose to continue applying patches that are not accepted upstream while evidently not understanding the rammifications. Why? Shouldn't there have been a policy change in the Debian project to prevent this from happening again?

Show HN: LLMWhisperer – Prep complex documents ready for use in LLMs
Hey HN!

Over the last few months, we’ve seen many tools here trying to tackle the problem of making complex, unstructured documents ready for LLMs.

The complexity primarily includes parsing highly complex documents in terms of format, layout, design, complex tables, checkboxes, etc, with high accuracy and reliability.

LLMWhisperer is our take on the problem. LLMwhisperer solves most of the document complexity with reliable accuracy.

With our user-friendly playground (https://pg.llmwhisperer.unstract.com/), you can effortlessly test your document use case. No sign-up is required. We eagerly await your valuable feedback.

LLMWhisperer is also a part of Unstract, an open-source document processing automation platform.

Exaggerative title aside, it's really cool to learn about how fsspec lets you essentially make a custom filesystem in a few lines of code, as well as the (important) notion that the very existence of a Python package can cause a plugin to be installed at a deep level, to be used automatically by other packages.

https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer.h...

https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/entry_point.h...

(As a side note here, you might think that "pip install" can only add functionality, and that you can add extra packages locally for your convenience, or keep them around when you switch branches, without having your dev environment diverge from production behavior. But if they register plugins with other packages via the entry point functionality, you might end up coding things that depend on behavior that's not present in other environments! This is especially common in the pytest ecosystem. CI is vital here!)
You can call it what you want but even Wikipedia makes a clear distinction between a "direct democracy" without representatives and "instruments for direct democracy in an other representative system": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direkte_Demokratie

Of course your "Staatskunde" lesson in school may have handwaved that distinction because the former by definition is stateless and the purpose is to distinguish between the Swiss governance model and other representative democracies, not doing a deep dive on all forms of governance.

We had "political science" lessons in school and they were largely about the structure of our own system (e.g. one exam literally involved adjusting the federal budget), maybe with some excursions to contrast it with e.g. the US but I don't think we ever learned about delegative democracy, let alone anarchist, minarchist or Marxist theories. Because it was a public school in Germany, the German model of the "social market economy" was never challenged and implied to be the best possible system because it is written into our constitution.

Saying a representative democracy that makes use of instruments for direct democracy is direct democracy is a bit like saying a social market economy (i.e. a market economy with a state-provided, limited, tax-funded social welfare system) is socialism. One may have political motivations to label it as such (either to make it more or less appealing) but it muddies definitions by conflating "pars pro toto", i.e. a part and the whole.

Let's hope the OS is still receiving security updates, because installing on a VPS like this always has a high migration cost.

This sort of deployment is a fair starting point, but let's not pretend it's some perfect ideal.

....

Look. For deploying a blog, sure, but no one is deploying their blog on k8s. There is a reason why big complex deployment and orchestration systems exist, because there are use-cases for them. This is not one of them, but there's no need to stick your head in the sand over requirements and pretend they don't exist.
I'm not really sure there's a singular "now" that encompasses both here and there.

This is why I ended up with a Leopold keyboard. I absolutely did not want any lights on my keyboard (I've had issues in the past with lights turning themselves back on, plus I don't want to pay for features I won't use), and this was the best-quality light-free option I could find, albeit at the cost of customizability.

Thankfully I've been very pleased with it and wouldn't change it if I could.

You're absolutely right, I noticed my mistake only when I couldn't edit the comment anymore.
It's a machismo built up around preventative behaviors that cost short-term money.

If you're a farmer trying to compete in the last 50 years, your concern isn't with the possibility that you might get cancer in 20 years from the neonicotinoids you're spraying; it's making enough money to cover expenses now.

But your friend who helps you do all sorts of farm chores, he wants to wear protection when he sprays. He's spent money on this protective gear, money that could have been put towards new machinery or the mortgage. He spends five minutes "dickin' 'round" putting it on. Five minutes that could be spent spraying. Since the span of five minutes is easier for the human mind to comprehend than the possibility of health problems months, years, or decades away, you choose to value the five minutes and tell him to get a move on. When he insists, you call him a wimp. He's now been shamed out of the preventative behavior.
If I read Figure 1 correctly, overall mortality has actually declined (minus Covid). Even in rural areas mortality has continued to decline while this statistic was tracked. What appears to be the case is its declined _faster_ in urban areas.

Figure 2 shows BOTH metro and non-metro increases in mortality for age groups 25-29 and 30-34.

Ask HN: Possible transition from co-founder to employee, advices or thoughts?
I been working at early stage startups for 10 years, on my first startup as the 3rd engineer and the last 2.5 years as a co-founder and CTO. Recently I been thinking of transition to become an employee in an already established tech company (because of money, burning out, and more).

Any thoughts or advice from someone that did the transition? Any regrets? Anything that you would do different?

Thanks,
This sounds like wonderful news to me.

Will Standard Notes 'productivity' and/or 'professional' features (as listed on https://standardnotes.com/plans) be available for free to all paying Proton subscribers?

Most importantly: when will paying Proton users be able to start using the productivity/professional features via their Proton subscription? I can't wait, which is why I'm eager to know. :-)

I've waited for Proton to release a feature like this. Finally... I mean, I love Obsidian but it's not encrypted on my devices by default.

Thanks!
Have you requested a refund off Amazon lately? They have an automated system where, iirc, a wizard will ask you a few questions and then process it, presumably inspecting your customer history and so on. If the system thinks your request looks genuine and it's within whatever parameters they've set, it'll accept instantly, refund you, sometimes without even asking you to send the item back. If it's less sure, it will pass the request on to a human agent to be dealt with like it would have been in the Before Times.

I can see no reason why it would be illegal or inappropriate to use an LLM as part of the initial flow there. In fact I see no reason why it would be illegal for Amazon to simply flip a coin to decide whether to immediately accept your refund. (Appropriateness is another matter!)

I guess you're assuming the LLM would be the only point of contact with no recourse if it rejects you? Which strikes me as very pessimistic, unless you live in a very poorly regulated country.

I also started with a simple shell script. Upload sources, build on the target system (golang) and restart the systemd service(es).

Then, I needed to make another machine like this, so enter Ansible. This worked well for a long time, and was relatively content with it. Along the way, I leaned about nix (and enough of it) to adopt a simple flake to pull out my tools (like golang, ansible, terraform) through. For a long time, I used it like this (e.g. still ansible, but I started building locally)

Finally, I learned enough nix to adopt NixOS. Now, I've converted my project to a nix package and a NixOS module, which allows me to totally describe the state of the machine I want. With this, remote builds and colmena (mostly for pushing secrets), I deploy a complete system, including my own software.

Being angry and negative is very much easier for most people than being happy and positive. I'm serious. It's easier to complain about the driver that cut you off as being an asshole driver than to ponder if they truly made a mistake and are feeling like shit right now.

Yes, the peer pressure is exactly the point. The older your child is, the more his peers will influence his behavior. I hope by the time he goes to middle school, I'll find a school with this kind of restrictions.

I had a similar problem on a nth program start, in seemingly the same conditions, was a disk cache memory hardware failure, some memory block return 1, whatever was written into it. The bug trigger was highly erratic, because corrupt reads only was on cache read, and crashed my program as it was one of the single thing running on the system most of the time, and one of the single thing that was re-read enough to be kept in cache despite large disk traffic.

The program had a large number of hour without incident, was thoroughly tested with unit test, and had 0 valgrind warning. I'd been intermittently tracking the problem for months, and the fact that it was an hardware issue was a huge relief, as I really started to loose footing on the necessary minimum of confidence in predictability you need to write software.
I still struggle to get my head around BWT. I understand what it does conceptually and why it helps, and I can read code that implements it, but I don't fully get it - there's a mental disconnect for me somewhere. Mainly, I can't convince myself that computing the inverse transform is possible.

It's one of those algorithms that I can say for sure I'd never have been able to come up with on my own.

Yeah, Haidt's is a compelling entry but sounds too good to be true. I haven't been following this discussion or the studies, but just a quick check of one of the two studies he uses as examples of evidence for harm caused by social media (and benefits of withdrawal) shows that a) he misquoted the protocol (daily usage reduction to 30 minutes instead of by 30 minutes a day) b) the study is hardly conclusive due to major methodological weaknesses (homogeneous sample, self-reporting of both protocol compliance and results).
Which of Haidt's 4 suggestions restricts free speech? Is free speech (for adolescents) more important than the well-being of those same adolescents? Has American jurisprudence aligned on the notion that adolescents have an inviolable right to free speech?

From the article (I realise, of course, that on this website it is considered highly improper to actually read them), it looks like they are at least initially targeting industrial egg users (bakeries, processed food), so that's hardly relevant; these are industries which specifically want albumen because of how it behaves, but as long as it's albumen the end product won't be significantly impacted.

> Google Translate, DeepL and Firefox Translate have done this use-case already, much more efficiently than LLMs.

They may have been more efficient, but the transformer-based Google Translate we have today is way better at its job than its predecessors, and the old Google Translate wasn't capable of other NLU tasks that can now all be done by transformers (and again, all better than the previous specialized tools).

I agree that transformer-as-Turing-machine isn't really solving any problems, but transformers have been nothing short of revolutionary for tasks that have usually been hard for plain Turing computation.
