The reality is that a lot of modern folk knowledge around nutrition carries a legacy of the essentialism characteristic of 20th century science because that's both when "food science" was born and when advertising and consumerism changed everything about kitchens and dining tables.

Scientists during that period naively distilled hugely complex food traditions and foodstuffs to a conveniently quantifiable, finite list of essential "nutrients". Meanwhile, product designers began to call themselves food scientists and formulated consumer products that could be honestly said to deliver these nutrients and their marketing teams took that vision straight to the bank. Science figured out what all you really needed, and Nestle (et al) had product that gave it to you with the most convenience and flavor.

That sweeping and extensive cultural reprogramming, which came at the expense traditional food practices and the generational transfer of them, doesn't just shake off again because a few research studies suggest that gut biomes matter, or that whole foods matter, etc

It took 2-3 generations for it to normalize processed food and it'll likely take at least 2-3 generations to meaningfully recover. Hundreds of millions of households now exist without someone who even knows how to cook being a part of them. Trying to convince those households to give up on cans and boxes of convenient, tasty mush in favor of food that they have to actually handle and prepare is a big big task.
That's SO WEIRD. When I load that page, I see no mention of Azure.
If the tasks were public then it would be trivial to have a human figure out the answers, and then to train an LLM to memorise those answers.

I doubt you could hear the call of such an effect over the roar of other confounders:

Regular moderate wine consumption is a strong correlate of comfortable, non-suburban living, particularly in a post-MADD world. Generally speaking, drive less on a daily basis, walk more on a daily basis, have better cardiovascular health and less obesity, live longer. This is a significant EU/US delta.

In the US wine is not the cheapest way to get drunk, nor is it as socially popular in disadvantaged minority groups. The health issues associated with poverty & healthcare/nutrition access are less significant in wine drinkers, and the lifestyle of those statistically drawn to wine as a beverage of choice is correlated with lower stress levels.

These aren't new or novel observations, but when we're talking about very weak effects, even the uncertainty bounds on known confounders start to dominate.
> outside of the SWE field... half of the people simply aren't interested in "thinking"

This is probably true of SWEs as well (although in some places it's hard to get away without thinking at least a bit.)
My take is:

Toxic positivity is just as bad as toxic negativity.

Cynicism seems to fall under toxic negativity, in that it presumes negative intent before even finding out if it's true.

I think the article suggests being willing to find out, and take a stand towards choosing to influence your immediate circle to be allies, comrades, amongst fellow "soldiers in the trenches together," rather than just assuming everyone's in it for themselves and therefore there's no point in giving effort to be human towards one another.

I do like what the author says at the end, that even if our influence may seem tiny and insignificant, that it has impact if we notice.

I do think cynicism can be cancerous. I don't equate cynicism with a realistic assessment of an actually bad situation (which is where toxic positivity will want to bypass, brush it under the rug, stick their head in the sand, etc.).
I know, what I'm saying is if universities band together, they can arrange for reviewers to be paid, so that authors at all universities start a discussion when they are assigned to review for Elsevier... for free.

Show HN: Schema – A Golang Validation Library Inspired by Zod
Hey HN,

I'm working on an open-source Go validation library called Schema, and I’m super excited to share it with the community!

Schema is a lightweight yet powerful validation toolkit for Go, inspired by the popular JavaScript library, Zod. Whether you're validating strings, numbers, or even complex structs, Schema offers a clean and intuitive API to make validation effortless.

Cheers,
People just don't care and won't do it if it requires more than a fleeting thought to get it done. Excel is comically powerful and only a tiny fraction of users have any interest in tapping into that. Every step of the way, for the last 50 years, pretty much all parties involved have actively worked to move away from end-user programming.

Words can't describe how happy I would be if that wasn't the case, but it's better to walk than curse the road. Changing this would require pretty much everybody on the planet to re-evaluate how they interact with a computer, and I'm not holding out on that.
Vitamins and minerals can't just be replaced with supplements, bioavailability is a massive part of nutrition. One can't just take pills and assume your GI tract will be able to absorb a majority of that like you're eating real food.

Many nutrients require other nutrients to even be absorbed in the first place. Many vitamins are fat-soluble, meaning they get to you through something fatty. Calcium is worthless if you don't get the vitamin D to help put it to use, things like that

and even further: some can't be absorbed by us directly at all and the bacterial flora in our gut must do that for us before we can benefit from it. Those bacteria must be supported and replenished, too.
> Vitamins and minerals can be replaced with supplements

No, you can't. Supplements often have either bad absorption or risk of overdose, because need to be associated with some other nutrient (fat, fiber, etc) or the absorption is regulated by something else.

I wouldn't perhaps have expressed myself as callously as you, and I think the 'Darwin award' is a silly concept that doesn't deserve referencing but I do agree with your general sentiment. To directly reference the sensationalising Wired headline, no, this incident did not 'shock the world' and it is not really very disturbing (because the failings of those involved are very well known human traits).

I personally paid scant attention to this story, mostly only observing how much of a media frenzy there was around it. Sure, it's fine to write up a story on what led up to the failure of the sub and fine for ppl to be interested in that story. But it's not a 'world shocking' nor particularly disturbing story. (I can think of things going on right now that are both shocking the world and truly disturbing, but I won't go there. Suffice to say that we devalue language when we use it sensationally.)

> There are about 7 grocery stores within 5 miles of my suburban house.

I have 2 (soon to be 3) grocery stores within a 8-12 minute walk of my very suburban home in my master planned community full of tract homes. I see some people walking to and from the store occasionally and I’ll walk there on occasion in the winter when the weather is nice. I just don’t understand why I would spend 20 minutes doing something that can take me 3.

I know a CEO who “can” do sql - and better than most of the people in the business who do sql — but they refuse to do it, because they understand basic economics. If they spend half a day doing a job someone else can do — even if it takes the other person 3 days — that’s half a day when they’re not doing the stuff that they alone can do.

Similarly a competent CxO knows that the real time is spent on getting the details absolutely correct - null handling quirks, date handling, mismatched coalescing — even though sql is “high level” it still takes time and dedication to get a trustworthy answer - if there’s people who available who specialise in that, let them do that.
I feel like when people hear 'ultra-processed plant origin foods' people are thinking stuff like Beyond/Impossible meat, but really this study is saying people who eat lots of bread and confectionaries (by far the highest source of UPF in this study) have higher cardiovascular risk.
> Yes, probably. This rule likely needs a sibling regulation reducing the capacity of collectors to collect on medical debt in ways that financially impair the consumer.

But if we did that, then medical debt would become even less valuable to collectors, and hospitals will struggle to sell off unpaid accounts.

They’d have to make up the difference elsewhere, and raise prices further.

This regulation seems well meaning but it’s just beating around the bush that our healthcare system is way too expensive and there’s no politically feasible solution.
Laptop connectivity was still pretty awful in the 1990s and even early 2000s. Conference WiFi was something of a joke. You were still often still using Dial-up. It’s probably in the last 20 years or so that cell and WiFi have become pretty much a utility in most cases. Which is a while but I remember when they weren’t.
The UI and features look well-polished. I use ShareX, another open-source tool but only available for Windows. However, a crucial feature for me is quick screen recording (GIF or MP4), which Flameshot seems to lack. Does it have this feature? It's not mentioned on the landing page.

A tangential nitpick: Scientists, Engineers who are not of the Software persuasion, Accountants, and Lawyers, to name just a few, also make up people who work "outside the SWE field". Almost all of these people are interested in thinking; a few of them will probably not be, just as one finds a few people working in the SWE field being reluctant to think. There is a very good reason why people -- even technically minded people -- have trouble with changing UIs, and it is not about them not wanting to think. Consider that the UI could be part of a workflow that is more of a side annoyance than their main job, and that they would rather conserve their mental bandwidth for problems that are more important to them. A doctor shouldn't have to get used to a new timesheet UI just because a designer woke up one fine morning with a new thought.

> If humanity was in harmony

No, stop it.

Humanity cannot attain harmony because disparity exists. People are different, we have different beliefs in how rule should be attained and held, and we are willing to fight each other to the death to prolong that way of life. The concept of "perfect order" is nonsense, because it would require so much concentrated bigotry that nothing would possibly ever change or be unique. There is no harmony for us to reach, besides the mutual acceptance that we exist in constant resource competition with our fellow man. That's all there is.

What you say is correct only when you adopt certain specific narrow definitions of the words, which you have not explained.

In its original sense, an electric current is any kind of movement of electric charge. In this wide sense, it also applies to the source of ferromagnetism.

Its meaning can be restricted to refer to the translational movement of electrically charged particles. With this narrower sense, there is still no need to use quantum mechanics to explain ferromagnetism. Even in classical electromagnetism, with the narrower-defined current, the sources of magnetic fields are decomposed into distributions of electric current densities and of magnetic moment densities, where the latter are the source of ferromagnetism. If necessary, it is possible to also use distributions of higher-order moment densities and the series of moments when the "electric current" is used in the narrow sense (of a first order moment) corresponds to the "electric current" used in its original, wide sense.

The isolated sentence "Spin is a type of intrinsic angular momentum that is not associated with any spatial motion" is logically contradictory (because, by definition, angular momentum is a characteristic of moving bodies). It can be correct only when you first specify that by "spatial motion" you mean only a certain kind of spatial motion.

The joke mentioned by another poster "Imagine a ball that is spinning, except it is not a ball and it is not spinning" is just a joke, because there is no doubt that the elementary particles are spinning.

Even when you model the elementary particles in the standard way, as point-like bodies (and it is debatable whether this is a good model), you cannot say that they are not rotating, because this would be the same mistake as saying that a delta distribution has a null value in the origin.

On the contrary, while you cannot say other things about the value of a delta distribution in the origin, what you can say with certainty is that it is not null.

In the same way, while you cannot say anything about characteristics of an electron like radius, mass density, angular velocity, electric current density and so on, you can say with certainty the values of various integral quantities (which integrate the corresponding delta distributions), like mass, electric charge, angular momentum and magnetic moment, so you can say with certainty that any electron is rotating (i.e. it has a non-null angular momentum).
I'm not saying PCs were especially good for games, but that that was one of the main things they were bought and used for, at least at home. Again, we're talking 90s, not 80s. By the 1993, Windows had already won, and a home computer was almost always going to be an x86 running Windows or DOS. Saying they weren't meant for gaming is paramount to saying computer games weren't a thing in that period. We're way past Commodore being relevant by then.

That was the era of Lemmings, Prince of Persia, Dune, Sim City, Wolfenstein 3D, Leisuresuit Larry -- plus a bajillion other smaller games. It wasn't the best gaming platform, but it's bonkers to say that computer games weren't really a thing then, or that the designers of computers were blind to that.

We're at that point at the era where "multimedia" was a buzz word, and I remember getting CD-ROMS with edutainment stuff that had real video in it -- that was a big deal around then.

security starts at the shipping port

Just seeing a flood of comments of everyones cheap $10 dollar devices got me thinking…

How do you actually check the integrity of the HSM, both at the software level and hardware level?

The companies hosted open source repo is only worth a shit if you can verify the integrity of the software on the device.

Do any vendors ship with verifiable Hardware Bill of Materials and Software Bill of materials? How do you know the device you got 2 years ago didn’t have a zero day in a common library disclosed a year after?

Because if you can’t continuously check the integrity of your device… well you don’t know if it’s actually secure.
A trapped prior is a term for a stance that when adopted precludes someone from accepting contrary evidence. It's a belief blackhole.
What's really remarkable is that so much of the last decade or so of research has been grounded in work done in the 1970s and 1980s, when computational boundaries were narrow enough that the work was often largely speculative or significantly restricted in application, so it's only now that we're really seeing that work bear fruit. It's a pleasure reading old comp-sci papers, and I wish more developers took the time.

>Is it weird if I suspect that it wouldn't bother me? I'd have been raised from birth to expect those things so they wouldn't be surprising to girl-me

I guess you're making the assumption that "being raised from birth to expect" things is a stronger force than your own innate personality, desires, etc.

You might compare it to people who are "raised from birth to expect" to be attracted to the opposite sex, but that just isn't who they are.
We might as well call any theoretical discipline like math or computer science “not science” then, but somehow I doubt that’ll persuade you since you appear to have a priori decided on the relative validity of a bunch of disciplines anyways.
