I may be wrong, but I understand vitamin D2 is a vitamin, but "vitamin D3" is in fact a hormone.

A vitamin is a building block, which by itself does nothing; a hormone is a directive, which instructs the body to do something - adrenaline, for example.

Vitamin D2 is a precursor / building block for the hormone D3.
Longevity is a component in reproductive success since until quite recently in humans evolutionary past, the family played a crucial role in upbringing of the young generation. The more grandparents were missing, the harder it was for the young to survive since they tended to be less cared for.

Show HN: I Built an AI Holiday Planner for Instant, Expert-Level Itineraries
Hi HN, I'm Fran!

I'm excited to share my latest project with you all. I built an AI travel planner that generates custom travel itineraries in seconds. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a month-long adventure, this tool can create a detailed, professional-level plan that includes day-by-day activities, hotels, restaurants, and more.

As a frequent traveler, I wanted to create something that simplifies the overwhelming task of trip planning and ensures you make the most of your time at any destination. The AI considers various factors to provide recommendations that suit your preferences and interests.

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions. Feel free to ask any questions or share your experiences with travel planning!

Thanks for checking it out,
Fran

Hi, Anthropic is a 3 year old company that, until the release of GPT-4o last week from a company that is almost 10 years old, had the most capable model in the world, Opus, for a period of two months. With regard to availability, we had a huge amount of inbound interest on our 1P API but our model was consistently available on Amazon Bedrock throughout the last year. The 1P API has been available for the last few months to all.

No open weights model is currently within the performance class of the frontier models: GPT-4*, Opus, and Gemini Pro 1.5, though it’s possible that could change.

We are structured as a public benefit corporation formed to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared by everyone; safety is our mission and we have a board structure that puts the Response Scaling Policy and our policy mission at the fore. We have consistently communicated publicly about safety since our inception.

We have shared all of our safety research openly and consistently. Dictionary learning, in particular, is a cornerstone of this sharing.

The ASL-3 benchmark discussed in the blog post is about upcoming harms including bioweapons and cybersecurity offensive capabilities. We agree that information on web searches is not a harm increased by LLMs and state that explicitly in the RSP.

I’d encourage you to read the blog post and the RSP.
My daughter went to a Montessori rather than a standard nursery.

From a young age she has always been alert and curious. We also noticed she would listen intently to instruction, understand it and then apply it so we thought a Montessori might be a better structured environment for her that she would thrive in.

She did a tester day at the Montessori that was local to us at the time and she enjoyed it. The toys and games etc promoted thinking, the activities were always thoughtful and considered (printing, painting, crafts, gardening etc).
She was there for two years before starting regular school.
Most of the other children were well behaved (most likely because the parents had a similar point of view to learning etc).

To date she has done well in anything she tries, which I think is partly her approach to learning which perhaps was supported by Montessori, as well as our support for her as parents.

8 years later and she still has one close friend from Montessori. That child is also very competent at anything she tries, although her personality is a bit more active, and her parents are also very supportive of their child.

It’s probably worth noting that both children don’t have siblings, so that likely has had a part to play also.

My experience is that if I dare to use Suspend/Sleep/Hibernation, everything janks up. Power management, window management, network management, anything and everything.

It's why I always either just idle or shut down if I'm not using a desktop/laptop, depending on the expected downtime. I'm going to hard reboot anyway because of how janked up everything would otherwise be, so I might as well save myself the "fast" boot up cycle that just wastes my time.

Sorry I have plenty of issues with car rental companies but dude - if you need a car of a certain size, rent that size, not "sports car". And book through your company's travel service, with the proper company code, no counter agent knows what your company badge is, and they certainly don't care that you're going to a work-related training. E-Z Passes are, unfortunately, usually tied to a specific license plate. For example, the Maryland and Virginia E-Z Passes require you to log into your account and enter the rental car's plates. It's understandable one might not realize that, but at the same time, that's EZ Pass setting those rules, not Enterprise.

My wife and I had a somewhat similar thing happen, one week before our wedding. She had a debit card declined at Starbucks.

Someone had printed a business check with our account number, made out to a name that matched a dead person on the sex crimes registry, and then someone had cashed that check at a bank in New Jersey. The check was for over $11k, and left about $20 in the account.

Now, we never left that much money in the account generally but we had transferred some in to settle with the various vendors and for spending cash on the honeymoon.

The good news was that Chase saw it as fraudulent immediately and the money was back in our account in less than 48 hours, and they put a few thousand in before then so we could travel.

Genuinely, have you read the bible? Because this is not message of it at all.
You think like this today. Would your life be better if you had this stance for your last 30 years? Would that be your advice for young adults who are just entering life?

I guess you were lucky that you didn't have any cases of cancer in the family (if you had, then I apologize and I'm sorry). No important problems that are only easily solved by lots of money. But if it's just luck, then it's really inappropriate to build a world view based on what you were lucky enough to avoid.
So the Artemis part of the program (the "pension plan") is just doing something that pretends to be marginally useful for insane amounts of money to secure political support through the jobs it enables at various companies strategically spread across the US (plus support from the international partners involved), while the hope is that the HLS part of the program (the "lottery ticket") will eventually succeed in making the other part redundant?

But still, I think the article has a point when it describes the difficulties of landing Starship on the moon and being able to lift off again several days later. Landing a rocket on its tail is cool when the only consequence of a failure is not being able to reuse the rocket, but when there are human lives in the balance, it starts to sound really scary. Not to mention the possibility of damaging an engine during the landing or of fuel loss preventing them from lifting off again...

Declare all variables/qualifiers right-to-left.

Read the type for all the below right-to-left, substituting the word "pointer" for "*".

int long long unsigned wibble; // unsigned long long int
double const *long_number; // pointer to a const double
double volatile * const immutable_pointer; // immutable pointer to a volatile double

They all read correctly now, when read right-to-left. It's not just "const" you do this for, as per the advice. Do it for all qualifiers.

I'm sure-ish some of my code from 10 yrs ago is still in production. Though I'm far removed from where it actually runs. Maybe even some of the older code I wrote (which at this point is ~ 15yrs old) might be still around (at a different place)

5 yrs ago? No problem. I even have to still maintain the darn thing.

Of course, different companies, different cases, etc.

> transformers windings in vs windings out

Transformers only apply to AC, where there is a fluctuating magnetic field.

A transformer in a DC circuit is just a physically large (very low resistance) resistor.

The standard practice to convert DC voltage (at least for these voltages) would be a buck converter, which is an active circuit. [1]

They've essentially hedged, but in a way that gets the worst of both worlds rather than the best.
> Write correct, readable, simple and maintainable software, and tune it when you're done, with benchmarks to identify the choke points

If speed is a primary concern, you can't tack it on at the end, it needs to be built in architecturally. Benchmarks applied after meeting goals of read/maintainability are only benchmarking the limits of that approach and focus.

They can't capture the results of trying and benchmarking several different fundamental approaches made at the outset in order to best choose the initial direction. In this case "optimisation" is almost happening first.

Sometimes the fastest approach may not be particularly maintainable, and that may be just fine if that component is not expected to require maintaining, eg, a pure C bare-metal in a bespoke and one-off embedded environment.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I do.

Functions are represented using lists. For example, here is a function that takes one argument, and returns that plus 1.

The first element, lit, says that this is a literal object, not to be evaluated.
Mmm. Sort of the former, but really my thought was this : "you have a barrier, fine, but that does not mean once you hit/pass the barrier, all prior read/writes are complete - in fact, the completion of earlier reads/writes only occurs at the first read/write after the barrier".

Fortunately, they’re trending down because of higher interest rates.
Anyone know the backstory behind Apple including logo stickers in their products?

I own lots of Apple products and thus I have a bunch of stickers, but I can't think of any surface I'd stick them on. They'd just seem misplaced. I once stuck one on the back of a Samsung monitor, but it just looked silly.

On the other hand, I remember decades ago Apple had a car decal with the old rainbow Apple logo that was captioned "I'd rather be driving a Macintosh". I noticed them on cars and it actually made me think the driver was part of an exclusive club (Macintoshes were expensive back then)

The "Think Different" bumper stickers were iconic. I'd stick one on my car if I had one.
I didn't mean it was an official position of the Church, just one that a lot of Christians have (or at least had fairly recently). Let's not no-true-Scotsman this.

I'm surprising myself a bit, but I think I agree. I think these types of problems are inherent in companies of a certain size. When you reach a point where there is so much structure that you can only progress via metrics those metrics will inherently start to only serve themselves instead of the original goal they were attempting to be a proxy for.
> The whole point of cursive to me is that you do not take your pen off the paper, so the way to join letters is built in.

This is both correct in the way you word it here, and, incorrect regarding your interpretation. The connection between letters in cursive is context-dependent. A “b” followed by an “a” or an “o” will likely have variations since it improves the readability of what you write. Similarly there are times where you might not want to keep the pen on the paper between letters within a word, which doesn’t break the “rules” of cursive.

You may have been taught differently and maybe your teachings were correct. I’m not aware of any form of cursive where connections are not supposed to be context-dependent though.

> I can't point you to the exact working in the intel docs as they are quite messy, but you can implement a perfectly C++11 compliant SPSC queue purely with load and stores on x86 without any fences or #LOCK operations.

I would disagree. I think the Intel docs do not specify a guarantee of flushing, and so if the SP and SC are on different cores, I think then in principle (but not in practise) the SC could in fact never see what the SP emits.

Actually the deal, typically, is that if you buy a full tank up front, the per-gallon price is at par or even a bit cheaper than local gas stations, so you save money and gain convenience (that's the pitch). By contrast, if you don't buy gas up front, and don't return the car full, that's when they charge you an enormous per-gallon price. That price is highly profitable and also makes the "up-front" option seem more appealing.

(Just take 10 minutes and return the car full, and don't worry about any of this)

Much though I'd be interested in Daniel Dennett's responses, I don't think you understood mine. I'm saying:

Mary doesn't have all of the objective third person facts, only the ones that can be conveyed to her academically.

If you want to sweep this aside with a magic gesture, and assert that she does somehow have all the facts (alright, all the objective third person facts), you are also making the science, communication, imaginative simulation, verbal learning process, all that kind of stuff, into something magical. Because what you're saying is that it now somehow has the power to be exactly like the real experience, which in this magical scenario will thus come as no revelatory surprise to her. We only expect it to be a surprise because of realism about the limits of book-learning as we know it, because she can only learn all that is explicitly known about colors that way, which is not all there is to know about them, and is not even all that is commonly known.
This is really cool. I would love to have that power of typing my handwriting.
I disagree. Storage is expensive. Think of an old video uploaded 15 years ago with total view count of 1k. You can't just put it to a cheap cold storage. Someday, somebody is going to watch it and you have to retrieve it instantly or that somebody will be disappointed.

Three if you consider that New York let the criminal walk and go on the lam without posting any bail, due to a 2020 (presumably late 2020) 'law'

From the post:

> The bail reform law, which took effect in New York in 2020, eliminated the requirement for defendants to put up cash bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felony charges. It was meant to limit incarceration of defendants in New York who couldn’t afford to get out on bail while their cases play out, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union. The nonprofit’s website says reform has been essential to “upholding due process, advancing racial justice, and protecting public health” during the pandemic.

Sure, information is dangerous, so Apple needs to keep the users uninformed.

Don't you see that this information can affect Apple\s profits and they hide it for that reason not to protect anyone? Their App Sore is filled with stuff that is not good for the users but if that makes money for Apple then it is allowed, including those shitty mobile games.

When Apple protects users only when they make money from it then some semi intelligent person would manage to figure out the truth.
Agreed, I believe code I wrote over 20 years ago is still running. It wasn’t good, but apparently that’s not as important as we tell ourselves.
The PNG file format is essentially ZIP(BMP), trying to compress the raw pixels in a pretty naive way. It works extremely well for diagrams and large blocks of identical colours. But for real-world photos, AAA game screenshots, or even just linear gradients, it doesn't offer any size compression at all.

The raster/vector dichotomy is a bit orthogonal to this and perhaps not quite the right choice of words. PNG is still a raster format as it stores the final pixels. Only that it's better suited for images that originated from a vector source, rather than images that have been rasterized out of a camera CCD or a video game engine.
