Thanks for sharing about C15. It seems very interesting that this is an "essential" fatty acid (as the human body doesn't produce enough of it, for example choline), and yet not much is discussed about it popularly. On reading more about it, it seems that it has some more benefits in a substitute way than the current very well-known essential fatty acid omega-3 [1] (caveat: this study is done by a C15 fatty acid supplement company).

This could sort of also explain why both bovine milk and human milk don't contain as much of omega-3 fatty acids. Furthermore, given the apparent very low conversion efficiency of ALA omega-3 fatty acids to EPA and DHA fatty acids that it could also explain how lacto-vegetarians (no eggs (thus no dietary source of omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA (almost nobody really consumes algal oil)), for instance about 1-4th-1/3rd of the population in India) seem totally fine from a basic health biomarkers standpoint.

I have an unclarity with this situation.

How much of him being a hero is a coincidence? Did he refuse to sign the previous launches? Did NASA have reasons to believe that the launch could be successful? How much of a role does probability play here. I mean if someone literally tells you something isn't safe, especially the person who made it, you can't tell him it will work. There is somekind of bias here.
There's a lot of confusion about this and people are understandably and correctly erring on the side of caution.

To me, ads are primarily a way to extract more value from ad-viewers by stochastically manipulating their behavior.

There is a lot of support in favor. Consider:

- Ads are typically NOT consumed enthusiastically or even sought out (which would be the cases if they were strongly mutually beneficial). There are such cases but they are a very small minority.

- If product introduction was the primary purpose, then repeatedly bombarding people with well-known brands would not make sense. But that is exactly what is being done (and paid for!) the most. Coca Cola does not pay for you to learn that they produce softdrinks. They pay for ads to shift your spending/consumption habits.

- Ads are an inherently flawed and biased way to learn about products, because there is no incentive whatsoever to inform you of flaws, or even to represent price/quality tradeoffs honestly.
That's my main gripe with OAuth and SSO logins. It's such an obvious tradeoff between convenience and centralizing power.

I don't really want GitHub knowing everything I sign into, but in some cases like Tailscale my only option is to tell GitHub about it or not use Tailscale.
One issue we have is that economic pressures underly everything, including ethics. Ethics are often malleable depending on what someone needs to survive and given different situations with resource constraints, people are ultimately more willing to bend ethics.

Now, there’s often limits to some flexibility and lines some simply will not cross, but survival and self preservation tends to take precedent and push those limits. E.g., I can’t imagine ever resorting to cannibalism but Flight 571 with the passengers stranded in the Andes makes a good case for me bending that line. I’d be a lot more willing to work for some scam or in high interest loans for example before resorting to cannibalism to feed myself and I think most people would.

If we assure basic survival at a reasonable level, you might find far less engineers willing to work in any of these spaces. It boils down to what alternatives they have and just how firm they are on some ethical line in the sand. We’d pretty much improve the world all around I’d say. Our economic system doesn’t want that though, it wants to be able to apply this level of pressure on people and so do those who are highly successful who leverage their wealth as power. As such I don’t see how that will ever change, you’ll always have someone doing terrible things depending on who is the most desperate.
By sandboxing I mean running various subcomponents of the web browser each in their own process, maximally reducing their priviledges and attack surface (through things like seccomp, user namespaces, strict resource limits, clearing and disabling capabilities, minimizing what code is loaded, making the address space immutable, etc.) and maybe even virtualizing some parts (e.g. Firefox started running some components in a WebAssembly sandbox).

There is this document here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/d...

so there are some plans for sandboxing so that's good, but if I'm reading the code correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong) then no actual sandboxing is yet implemented on non-SerenityOS systems (e.g. there are some "pledge" calls that I can find, but it looks like it'll only work on SerenityOS?), and, if I'm being honest, this is nowhere near aggressive enough for a web browser, especially one written from scratch. If the goal was "produce the most secure web browser in the world" there's much more you could do with its architecture that even likes of Chrome won't (because of legacy considerations, and because they care a lot about how fast it runs).

But, of course, practically speaking as long as it has no market share (so no one will realistically target it) then even minimal sandboxing should be fine, and as long as the project itself doesn't pretend that it's something it is not then all is good.

Show HN: Days2Visit – How many days should you plan to visit a city?
Hey HN,

Earlier this year, I had to plan my first trip to Japan and figure out how to split my time between Kyoto and Osaka. After asking around and reading tons of blog posts, I realised that this wasn’t the first time I’d faced this dilemma, which led me to the idea for this small project.
I don't think any of those are remotely common for recreational backpack hikers. Garmin inreach maybe, because it covers the two essentials this group actually wants of "check in with family" and "call for help." It would really surprise me if backpackers switch to this en masse, or if having it enabled anyone to start backpacking who currently can't because of this need being unmet.

It'll probably get used on boats, where people actually do kinda want to watch netflix at night and don't have to personally carry every gram every day. The current options are very expensive and power hungry.

And probably a bunch of other outwardly similar but culturally distinct groups that could use it. Remote wilderness hunters, ice fishers, who work out of a seasonal camp but otherwise are pretty cut off.
I tend to view ads as the perfect opposite of what you mentioned; it’s an enormous waste of money and resources on a global scale that provides no tangible benefit for anyone that isn’t easily and cheaply replaced by vastly superior options.

If people valued ad viewing (e.g. for product decisions), we’d have popular websites dedicated to ad viewing. What we have instead is an industry dedicated to the idea of forcefully displaying ads to users in the least convenient places possible, and we still all go to reddit to decide what to buy.
If you want a clear path avoid IT. The best advice is learn to learn and don't ever stop. In my over 40 years the only constant was change. Whatever you learn at college don't assume you will end up using it.

All of those problems can be fixed by legal means. We cannot expect the market to regulate itself into a healthy competitive balance.

Force sites to implement baseline standards and not rely on non-standard features. Disallow major web players from pushing their own browsers and from relying on their own browser's non-standard features. Permanently require browser ballots on all widely used consumer OS's. Heavily fine violators consistently. Use the money to support an independent standards body.

Naive users will get a random, standards compliant browser. This throng will help prevent sites with no concern for the law from testing against only one instead of against the standard.

Most of the these routes are organized by Russian state actors to be used as a political weapon. The money paid by the would-be immigrants are also eventually going back to Russia.

Definitely not taking it personally. But if you're building a desktop to use Linux on you'd go for components from companies that at least have a track record of supporting the operating system you want to use. Blaming Linux for an nividia shortcoming is hardly fair
Those who are not poor are usually better at legal* loopholes.

In our 2024 Volume 2 release, we have introduced many new features and components for our Syncfusion Essential JS 2 platforms. This blog delves into these key enhancements, enabling developers to create more interactive and informative apps.

Common updates
New components
Syncfusion Essential JS 2 has added the following two new components in preview mode:

I was really happy about this project at first.

When I browsed for a couple of minutes, however, I found many of the guides to be just unhelpful LLM slop [1] with no connection to the target bureaucracy whatsoever. (Blatant example: [2])

This makes me not only feel cheated, but also sows doubt on the quality of the site as a whole. I hope quality is going to improve, I wish you folks the best.

> I'm a huge believer in Personal Integrity and Ethics, but I am painfully aware that this makes me a fairly hated minority (basically, people believe that I'm a stuck-up prig),

This doesn’t match my experience at all. In my experience, the average person I’ve worked with also believes in personality integrity and is guided by a sense of ethics. One company I worked for started doing something clearly unethical, albeit legal, and the resulting backlash and exodus of engineers (including me) was a nice confirmation that most people I work with won’t tolerate unethical companies.

I have worked with people who take the idea of ethics to such an unreasonable extreme that they develop an ability to find fault with nearly everything. They come up with ways to rationalize their personal preferences as being the only ethical option, and they start finding ways to claim things they don’t like violate their personal integrity. One example that comes to mind is the security person who wanted our logins to expire so frequently that we had to log in multiple times per day. He insisted that anything less was below his personal standards for security and it would violate his personal integrity to allow it. Of course everybody loathed him, but not because they lacked personal integrity or ethics.

If you find yourself being a “hated minority” or people thinking you’re a “stuck up pig” for having basic ethics, you’re keeping some strange company. I’d get out of there as soon as possible.
Many such cases. It is very hard to balance composition and abstraction in such frameworks and libraries. And LLMs being so new it has taken several iterations to get the right patterns and architecture while building LLM based apps. With patchwork (https://github.com/patched-codes/patchwork) an open-source framework for automating development workflows we try hard to avoid it by not abstracting unless we see some client usage. As a result you do see some workflows appear longer with many steps but it makes it easier to compose them.
Now parallelize it lol
Providing access to hardcore porn to people regardless of their age is a problem.
The whole issue is the difference between (1a) and (1b), not whether the AI can understand one of the sentences under some of its available interpretations. Indeed, with GPT-4o, I get the same result as you for (1a), but also a description of a spurious parallel ambiguity in (1b). Part of the trouble here is the inconsistency of results depending on the exact phrasing of the question and random variation in GPT-4's responses. I wouldn't be surprised if it sometimes gives the right answers, but I don't think it does so reliably.

(2b) is what's known in classical terms as a 'subjacency violation', so yes, it sounds imperfect. Nonetheless, native speakers agree on which interpretations it can and cannot have. GPT-4 does not have the same capacity, as far as I've been able to determine. You sometimes have to be a little creative with scenario construction for sentences like (2b) to click.

"Ok, So Bill explained why Mary should read War and Peace, then he explained why she should read The 39 Steps, and then he explained why she should read some other titles that I can't remember. I wonder just how many books Bill explained why Mary should read."

But try constructing a scenario for the other interpretation and you'll find that it's still just as bad.
I would say a lot but the average age is probably higher than rust by a large margin.
Honestly, the most important skill is to learn how to learn. There are some basics that will always be useful such as SQL or any of the popular high level programming languages. But in 10 years, the demands of whatever sector you want to work in will have changed in ways that we can only guess. But learning how you learn, what techniques help you stay focused are much more useful in the long term.

If you are serious on going into research, seek out (abstract) mathematics. It's a language in itself and (in my experience) takes the longest to become comfortable with.
They used to use IRC in the beginning.
Great use case examples. The marketing bit is "fits in a backpack" but really it's "fits in a base camp duffel/dry bag." People with a boat, sled, overlanding vehicle etc this is great

It is insanely good. Out of this world.

A few years ago I spent 3 years driving around Africa and looked into satellite internet options from all the existing providers. Any plan that offered anything remotely close to 1GB per month was 5x the cost of the entire 3 year expedition.

Fighting the symptoms instead of the cause isn't really pragmatic, in my view. But well, that's not really the website to have a real talk about the subject.
Chosing Discord was a deliberate choice. I remember when Serenity was using IRC as the only communication channel and immediately after setting up a new Discord server the community gravitated towards it. Infact, the number of community members sky rocketed.

The fact is, Discord as a platform is more accessible compared to IRC.
The hell of the systems language is the systems, not that it has infix syntax.
I got to eat lunch with Allan Macdonald in college. I was an IEEE officer and we hosted him for a talk at Montana State, so I got to take him out for lunch before his talk.

Dude got a lunch beer without a second though. (My man!)

He then gave a talk that afternoon talking about interrupting a closed session of the Challenger commission to gainsay a Thiokol VP. The VP in question testified to Congress that he wasn't aware of any launch risks. Macdonald stood up, went to the aisle, and said something to the effect of "Mr. Yeager, that is not true - this man was informed of the risks multiple times before the launch. I was the one that told him." (He was addressing Chuck Yeager, btw. Yeah, that Chuck Yeager.)

No mean feat to have the stones to interrupt a congressional hearing stacked with America's aviation and space heavyweights.
The irony of decisions like this, is while WinUI 3.0 team still tries to sell WinUI as the framework for delightful Windows experiences, the remaining business units keep shipping Web stuff instead.
Being judgmental does not move science forward. Politics is simply uninteresting.

That happened since we couldn't make more power so only way left was to increase efficiency.

Power used to be like how we see compute today, exponentially increasing so everyone wasted with it since you soon had more than enough. But once that stopped power efficiency suddenly became very important.
That statement is patently incorrect. While the 'usefulness' of something can be subjective, the date of creation is an absolute, immutable fact.

I think it's common for people to take huge loans from the traffickers.

So it's not really $72k up front. It's some smaller amount + a cut of what you earn once you're working in the higher income country.

I take your point, but in fact there are multiple ways one can contract HIV that does not include engaging in intimate and amorous endeavors.

While copulation is the #1 form of transmission, others include:

- Sharing needles
- Blood transfusion and organ transplants
- Occupational exposure (healthcare workers)

The trick is that "some notion of a dragon" is incredibly vague, with "dragons" sharing very few commonalities between cultures. A European wyvern and Quetzalcoatl are almost nothing alike, yet people consider them both "dragons."

>Is it possible that these are based on inherited memories, patterns, insticts of dinosaurs?

It is possible that these are based, at least in part, on the discovery of dinosaur fossils, but humans didn't even evolve until the dinosaurs were long dead. So even if it were possible for "inherited memory" to include visual memories it wouldn't do so for dinosaurs.

The way WinUI 3.0, WinAppSDK have progressed since Project Reunion announcement in 2020, is quite telling how resource contrained those teams are.

4 years later, still no designer, C++/WinRT will never have a VS tooling experience like C++/CX (and is actually in maintenaince), plenty of UWP features that are still missing from WinUI 3.0, Native AOT on .NET 9 might finally catch up to .NET Native, map component is now backed by a Webview2 and Bing maps,...
this is iridium though. i suppose there is an internet overlay, but it probably isn't pretty (or fast)

Yeah, I got the naming wrong but the prices right-ish (actually 7800aud not 7700). That'd be a m3 max 16"/96gb/2tb which is 4799ukp, but you're right the spec equivalent dell alienware is 2399ukp.

But in australia the dell alienware is 6000ish aud, and the xps 16 (which is a non starter as it has a touch sensitive esc/function keys and invisible touchpad) is also 6000 aud. I guess we're paying some crazy tax on the alienware. Also the alienware is 18" which depending on what you want is good or bad (personally something I wouldn't want).

Edit: In the usa m3 max 16/96gb/2tb is 4699usd, alienware 16" 64gb/2tb is 2249usd.
