This recent story comes to mind: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/jon-stewar...

> The US late-night satirist Jon Stewart has responded after Britain’s Labour Party blocked left-wing academic Faiza Shaheen from standing as a candidate in the upcoming general election for liking a number of potentially offensive social media posts, one of which featured a clip from The Daily Show.
This could trigger some skepticism:

Some stores pulled products from their shelves, and several major supplement
companies embraced Newmaster’s work, paying large sums for quality testing by
companies Newmaster established just prior to the publication of the paper.
The point is the memorization exercise requires orders of magnitude fewer examples for bootstrapping.
It will. Unlike e.g. MMS or VoLTE, RCS (at least as recently implemented on Android) has never used special APNs or other network-only infrastructure.

Even when you have signal and mobile data, it'll take the same route as iMessage or WhatsApp, i.e. your regular "Internet" APN.
> Messages from Android phones show up as green bubbles in iMessage chats, and chaos ensues.

This is not true -- messages from Android users show up as grey, the same as messages from iMessage. Messages from you *TO* Android users show up as green. I don't know why people keep getting this wrong.

That's why it's always a pain to figure out why a group chat is showing up green all of a sudden; you can't tell who brought the Android to the party.
We have a script and a input library that has a bunch of scoring dimensions and allows a head to head comparison of a new candidate prompt vs what's in prod. It takes a configuration (prompt, which LLM to use, temperature etc.) and then gets run with all the various inputs and makes a json blob of the outputs for scoring.

Most of the score dimensions are deterministic but we've added some where we integrated an LLM to do the scoring (... which brings the new problem of scoring the scoring prompt!). We also do a manual scan of the outputs to sanity check. Not doing any fine tuning yet as we're getting pretty good results with just prompting.

I started by understanding. I could multiply by repeat addition (each addition counted one at a time with the aid of fingers) before I had the 10x10 addition table memorized. I learned university level calculus before I had more than half of the 10x10 multiplication table memorized, and even that was from daily use, not from deliberate memorization. There wasn't a day in my life where I could recite the full table.

Maybe schools teach by memorization, but my mom taught me by explaining what it means, and I highly recommend this approach (and am a proof by example that humans can learn this way).

"If you use alcohol as a fuel, please remember that it is much more flammable than wood. Never add alcohol (or any liquid fuel) to a burning fire, or it will react much [like] lighter fluid"

Acupuncture is pretty cheap compared to most medical procedures, so even if it's just an unusually effective placebo, it's still probably worth the cost.
It's a common mistake to mix up "you're not agreeing with me" and "you're not hearing me". I understand your point; it's just not well supported by the facts. In my opinion, the headline is just fine.

Nah. There are far easier targets with far larger economic impacts. This cold box certainly cost a lot of money, but it won't break the bank, just delay the fab construction.

In fact, I could almost imagine that sabotaging this thing would actually have an economic boon as it would allow the roads to operate again (rather than shutting them down for days to move a 10mph mega fridge).

Consider, for example, the economic damage of the camp fire wildfires. That was caused by a single downed power line.

This isn't a me vs them. Who is hoovering up the ice cream futures? Different business model, different businesses. Both are difficult. Being a founder of a VC based company is difficult and being a builder of a retail brick and mortar is difficult. It isn't zero sum and both can exist in the same economy trying to make this a Me Vs Them narrative is totally BS.

Making a wedge where there isn't one is disingenuous.

I have moved around a fair bit in the past decade, and for me the most effective movers I have used have been SendMyBag [1]. They are great for shipping luggage and other reasonably large items. They arrange an DHL pickup and drop, with a lot of flexibility, and their support has been great for me when I needed it.

SendMyBag do ship bikes, but I have mostly used more dedicated bike shipping services, which have been very reliable. SendBike [2] iswho I haved used in the past, but I have also had friends use ShipMyBike [3] successfully in the past. The advantage of these companies is that they will first ship you a box to use, if you dont have one already.

In my house (1970 vintage) the dining room, while small (has room for the standard hutch plus drop leaf dining table, and not much else) is still a vestigial formal room. Has the front window, has direct access from the front door/hall. Food preparation could be kept isolated from guests, as was once the fashion.

Current fashion is everyone hangs around in the kitchen while the final food prep is done, and only then migrates to the dining room to eat. Which is nice and informal, and totally OK for the post-servant era. So does it matter if the dining table is in an open concept setting with the kitchen, or separated by walls and a door? It functions the same either way.

Much more bizarre is the "vestigial living room" - barely enough room for a sofa - still exists but its minuscule size admits that the real living room is now the rear-facing family room. To be clear, my house still has the full (front facing) living room, with the fireplace and all. But I've seen the tiny vestigial living rooms in more modern houses.
I guess they meant the situation became more and more awful for Android users as Google released a new messaging app and killed the last one every month.
It's interesting; growing up we had a 'great room' type large room setup, and we artificially divided it into a dining room and living room with furniture because doing without a dining room for holidays and guests was unthinkable, even if we didn't use it in every day dinners.

I guess the current owners of that house probably just enjoy the large room.
I am not sure capital ships are as critical now. With drones/hypersonics it seems they are too vulnerable for use in any peer conflict. Pretty sure if China/US were to wage war in 5 years then all the capital ships from both sides in the conflict zone will be scrap within 24 hours. Send 100 hypersonics per ship and one will hit.
Unfortunately, even if you do not view any ads you still end up paying for them via inflated prices (to cover tha ad budget) when you buy from the companies running those ads.

At least you avoid the psychological manipulation though, which hopefully means you don't spend as much for things you don't need.
Show HN: Building a Small SaaS in Public
I've been recording my working sessions while I build a small startup in public by myself.

I basically spend chunks of 45 minutes working in various tools like Figma, ChatGPT, Adobe CC, and PyCharm, then I speed them up 1000%-2000% and do a voiceover and just kind of talk about what I'm doing. I have three videos so far.

In Europe we have just huge kitchens for that, or living rooms that double as dining ones.

Unless your house is very very small and you're inviting a dozen people may not work (hell, neither a classical dining room may though).

But for what you describe, I don't see an issue.

It's a solid reason to not use any SaaS. You might be drinking too much anti-Google koolaid if you think their product failure rate is any different than the rest of the field.

At least with a Google SaaS it won't get suddenly ransomwared^W acquired by Oracle or Big Blue or Broadcom. It will die with dignity instead.
That's gross, but probably says more about the people than the masks. Maybe we do need that PSA.
I imagine this is the classic Hacker News "everyone reads the title but not the article" effect, but the question posed here isn't why is France's obesity rate low. It's lower than global leaders like Egypt and the US but that's true in a lot of places. However, in those places, including places like India and China being cited in other comments, as well as places like Japan with historically very low rates, they've still increased, often very drastically, since 1990. It's only in Germany, where obesity rates have been pretty flat since around 2008, and France, which actually has a lower obesity rate today than in 1990, that this increase hasn't happened.

The answer can't just be "well, their cuisine is X, Y, Z" or "they shame fat people more." Those things were also true in 1990. Something during these 30 years had to have actually changed to counteract an otherwise globally consistent trend seen across all cuisines and cultures. I don't feel remotely qualified or informed enough to judge the reality of it, but the article has hypotheses. Specifically, German food culture has changed, with younger generations favoring less calorie dense foods than traditional German food, and in France, government campaigns to get people to eat less and move more seem to have actually worked in spite of failing just about everywhere else they've been tried.

And, for what it's worth, I have plenty of personal experience with fat shaming culture. I served in the active duty US Army in my 20s, and there is tremendous pressure to stay lean and fit. It's a literal job requirement. The military is the only employer I'm aware of that legally can and will fire you for being fat even when you have a non-public facing office job. You'll be brutally mocked by peers, often with the encouragement of command, no one will have any respect for you, and your chances of advancing are nil. Nonetheless, even in the active duty military, all data I can find indicate that rates of overweight and obesity have at least doubled during this same period. This, in spite of being forced to exercise and having all the healthy food in the world available at a low price. A whole lot of people simply choose fast food and beer anyway, even with every economic incentive pointing in the other direction.

We own two grandfather clocks. They sit in corners of the dining room, which isn't much used. Of course they aren't being used as clocks, as they're completely obsolete for that purpose.

People complain about modern disposable objects, but they do solve the problem of antiques encumbering ones life.

It would be useful to go through ones life periodically and decide what's become a burden and should be discarded.

Kitchens, I believe, are larger than they used to be. Often with islands that have high chairs and/or a separate large table.

Old-time kitchens tended to be cramped. I lost track of the number of old-house renovations friends did which involved knocking out a kitchen wall and effectively merging the dining room and kitchen into one "open plan". New construction basically already does that!

I've put together a rough map of the route it's taking here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MPubWurLDu4XjMQJ7 (unfortunately, the limitations of Google Maps keeps me from properly marking the final bouncing between Mink Rd and 310--it continues east past Mink Rd to go up OH-310, then returns to Mink Rd on US-40 then returns to OH-310 on OH-16 then back to Mink Rd on OH-161. Not sure why it's not sticking to one or the other way the entire last stretch.)

If you're going between Cincinnati and Columbus, you should be absolutely nowhere near this route, as it's going nowhere near I-71.
The idea of Twitter as the “de facto public town square” seems a lot less plausible if post interactions are private.

This move edges it closer towards a purely broadcast medium. The transition would be complete as soon as users can moderate replies.

This feels like an experiment in reverse-engineering Twitter's USP by removing critical features until the network collapses.
>Further this article isn't even about fracking. The wells water was pumped into were ancient abandoned wells, not fracked wells.*

The oilfield firefighter quoted in the article (who has experience with wells in 102 countries), suspects that the Texas problems are related to fracking. So I don't think fracking can be dismissed out of hand, even if it's the old wells that are failing.

I found this comparison video between stock android 2.3 and TouchWiz: https://youtu.be/iNaECPgyDss?si=xp_TaDXgsGPk36I1&t=72 It's not exact because you can already see the TouchWiz UI is a bit upgraded from what's in the PDF but it's close and you can see the evolution of android stock UI as well from the 1.0

Both of these terms are much easier to say than "Przewalski" which probably attracted the headline writer. And a reader is less likely to confuse these wild horses with escapees from an oligarch's zoo or somesuch.
It's not impossible - I did India to Europe overland a while ago. The problem is Iran. They make it awful hard to get a transit visa like insisting on holding your passport for a month and maybe giving it or not depending on whether your politicians have annoyed them recently or not. Half the people on our trip had to fly over it due to that stuff.

In the 1970 you could go via Afghanistan but that's been troubled for a while.

Not my area of expertise but I believe the explanation is: the radiation profile is blackbody radiation proportional to the heat of the flame. The metal salts color the flame by absorbing light and re emitting it according to their electron transitions. However the don't add additional energy so there will be no UV light, since the original flame doesn't produce (almost any) photons that energetic. Magnesium burns much hotter and emits uv directly from blackbody profile.
I think this is a point worth highlighting much more prominently in your marketing.
