"significant statistical anomalies" include the weather, variations in soil composition and the population count of wild stoats. The fact that numbers are changing doesn't mean that something qualifies for the guidelines of HN. Shoehorn politics into a tech forum and you're just gonna get flagged.

I've encountered nearly no businesses that don't accept cash and I pay with cash all the time. The lower-income end of the working class makes up a huge percentage of our economy, and it's an extremely cash-centric demographic. But even then, I've got a friend who sells fine handmade jewelry and some folks came in and bought like a 30k piece from her in cash because they owned a cash-only business. I can't imagine anyone existing outside of a ultra-gentrified corporate enclave that would encounter nearly any businesses that don't accept cash, let alone most. Maybe they just never see anyone use cash because they're not in a socioeconomic segment where it's still the standard?
Agree. A good first step is to learn about how food chemistry, and how your body processes it.

I lived my whole life with barely an understanding of the macronutrients, wrapped in popular wisdom: eat enough fiber, protein is good for you, be careful with carbs, sugar is bad (but you can't avoid it).

I also casually dabbled with some fashion diets, experimented with apps for counting calories, and grew up with plenty of wrong and harmful advice (fruit juice is healthy, honey & cereal as a healthy breakfast, etc). Nothing really stuck.

I never understood why sugar is bad, or what's the difference between fiber and carbs (aren't they both plants?), what happens in your body when you eat carbs, or what the heck are calories anyway?

It was only when I read more about how your body processes food and the impact on your glucose levels that things started to click for me. I also got a CGM, and started seeing the direct correlation of the spikes and crashes with mood, cravings, motivation, post-lunch slump, headaches, energy levels.

It has also completely changed my relationship with food. I started eating more, lost weight, and my glucose levels are significantly lower (and, more importantly, I know exactly how to control it). Also have a bit more energy, less cravings, no post-lunch slump.

There's plenty of resources out there, but the three that helped me were [1][2][3], and a Dexcom CGM (but that's totally optional).

Turn on showdead and go look at maaaaany of the comments on articles related to the big political news yesterday.

For most people, that should be evidence enough as to why those sorts of topics don't create productive conversation.
The Intel m3-6y30 used on this surface is just fantastically puny a core. 4.5W design spec, tdp down to 3.5 up to 7W. Tiny GPU. The 7200u on my Samsung Book 12 is a 15W configurable from 7-25W; so much more headroom. 0.8GHz vs 2.5GHz base clocks! Admittedly the 7200u is also a year newer but both are Sky Lake.

One interesting thing happening in Linux now is bpf control over hid devices. Perhaps it might be possible to filter palm reads out at the kernel level with this, or eliminate ghost inputs. Hypothetically it should allow filtering the data arbitrarily. Classically I've used interception-tools in userland to do some light remapping, reading a device filtering and emitting as a virtual uhid, but this should be faster & slicker. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.11-More-HID-BPF

I really need to switch from my Samsung Book 12 to another copy (which I already own); mine's OLED is pretty cracked: remarkably invisible when looking straight on at it, but the touch went from sometimes not working to never working. I also want to try a pen with it.

The 4GB of ram can be obnoxious. I feel like with a better nvme not sata SSD it wouldn't be such an issue but paging stuff out or in really makes the whole system lag badly sometimes, which is terrible.

I also hella recommend hibernate. I didn't trust it for years, but one day ran low on power while suspended & watched systemd wake my system up, then hibernate it, and was shocked shocked shocked that it resumed latter & worked. It takes ~10s to boot up but being able to put a project aside, and come back weeks later & pickup where I left off is amazing. Use hibernate! I think you can configure it to hibernate after X amount of time sleeping.
I'm using a Surface Pro 7 to run Fedora, and my experience is mostly the same, although it runs a bit faster and without the ghost touches. The main annoyance I face is probably the fact that touch in Firefox occasionally breaks.

Right, that actually sounds like a decent idea and since the users would then have verified themselves with their payment details, it would reduce the risk of abuse.
Maybe not the "best" interest, but the replies seem to have a caring interest and definitely not a conflict-of-interest which is unavoidable with medical professionals.

What language would help you the most in your current role? The best projects are ones you actually need, and building scripts for work will teach you more than building a generic crud app.

I think the most important thing is to pick one language and stick to it (and only it) for as long as possible. Say 3 years. Don’t learn a second until you can do everything in your first with total fluency. Don’t be a dilettante or a framework hopper. Better to learn 1 thing well than 10 things poorly.

Last piece of advice (and there’s tons of arguments against this, so just my opinion) but pick a scripting language first, either python or js. After mastering it, then pick a statically typed enterprise lang like c#, go, or java. You’ll go very far very fast with js or python, and once you finally hit mastery in those languages you’ll start to feel their limitations and the need for static types will be apparent.
"Worth it" is relative.
No camera phone can beat pictures from my Leica Q3 with it's full-frame 61MP sensor. Especially if it is anything but ultra bright out there.

But like you said it's an enthusiast thing. Photos are a hobby of mine. If you don't really care about having the best look and quality and are fine with good quality a 48MP RAW iPhone pic can be edited quite nicely with Photoshop nowadays. Even for large screens to enjoy them on.

If you don't care at all, snap away with any semi-new phone and pictures will be good enough for phone screen/sharing.

Ask HN: What tags would you add to HTML?
We're building Scroll, a superset of HTML (all HTML can be used normally in scroll).

A friend of mine had an art studio at the Nicholas Building, and I got to speak with a jeweller who told me that he still did a lot of bespoke work in wedding rings, especially for tradies who would otherwise wear down store-bought rings because they were solid gold and therefore softer. I don't remember the details, but he specialised in harder alloys that are nevertheless mostly gold, and therefore "good as gold" for a wedding ring.

Would that be your partner?
Thank you so much!

I started programming at around 9 years old in MS Batch. By making TUI apps, I learned the fundamentals, like variables, logic, functions, etc.

The interest actually stemmed from gaming. I was playing Minecraft and I was like, "hey, why can't I make cool stuff like this?" Spoiler alert: I did not remake Minecraft lol. My father was an early adopter of tech, like when he purchased the first Macintosh, so he also encouraged me into the field.
Somewhat similarly, I had to do a double take at a billboard I saw recently - "Southwest Pilots Are Ready to Strike"
But... that's what bindgen is for. Which I mentioned.

I said it "can be quite simple"; for simple use cases, just using extern and translating the declarations by hand is perfectly viable.

For more complex cases, you use bindgen.

That study is a decade old and covers a very limited 4 year period right after the big 2008 recession where the private sector took big losses and had a glut of college graduates competing for entry level jobs. Even then it shows specialized and highly educated workers doing far better in the private sector.

Misconceptions about Firefox's Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement
Friend was doing the journalism course in Darlington in the late 1970s. It included mandatory court reporting. Good training for future newshounds.

Imagine their joy when one of their own was present in the dock, for a drunk-and-disorderly before the local magistrate. Fully reported, blandly, blindly, doubtless to much dismay for the student concerned.
In your link, the first words of the abstract is:

"A series of publications purport to provide evidence that..."

So even published papers contain such "misinformation", it isn't specific to Youtube. I have no training in the areas of archaeological evidence, so I don't know what to make of the paper, but it looks like people are just arguing about evidence of whether there was an asteroid impact.

It's interesting though that the title of the paper is called "Complete Refutation" of the hypothesis and not of the evidence. If you're nit-picky enough you'd notice that the YDIH isn't a "scientific" hypothesis per se since hypotheses about what happened in the past doesn't really give testable predictions, and actually what they did in the paper was to refute all the evidence of the hypothesis -- but it seems to me it's still theoretically possible for new evidence to come up that definitely supports YDIH.

Also, AFAICT this only rules out the asteroid impact. It still doesn't rule out the possibility that the abrupt climate changes during the Younger Dryas causing stress to the megafauna population, which presumably is another thing.
> agree to see ads when you use a service someone provides you for free

I agree to absolutely nothing. I consent to absolutely nothing. That they insist on showing me their noise puts them in malware category and they should be treated as such.
>Okay - but what happens when your doctor is getting bribed to say you're dying to get you to try expensive experimental drugs with no evidence of working?

If it's experimental it shouldn't be expensive. In fact it probably should be free until it's approved as effective. So with that out of the way, what are your other objections? (I am genuinely interested)
Biochemical engineering exists as a discipline and focused on “scale up” of production problems like these. Robots are involved, but most of the time the process is modified to a more stable one.
Website Project Claude 3.5 – Zero Coding Knowledge, 200 Prompts, and in 12 Days
To start off, I have absolutely zero coding knowledge, and I built SocialClout. Video demo link in url.

So, I had an idea for a website where influencers could tokenize their social media clout and sell tokens to their audience where their audience could buy/sell or trade them. You know how companies have stocks and IPOs, similarly, I thought of creating a system for Influencers to do the same. But, I had zero coding knowledge and experience. So, I bought the pro version of Claude AI, and after about 200+ prompts and 12 days, I have a fully functioning website with everything from a database, front-end, back-end code, and the only thing missing is the payment gateway as when I tried to get into the depths of it, I could not actually implement a viable solution for something like this as it required a lot of regulatory checks and a lot of upfront investment. This platform is exclusively built for the US audience as where I'm from, the influencers will never use it until it gets popular in the west. And because of that, I can't go through with the payment system because it is extremely complicated and filled with a lot of regulations, fees, and upfront costs.

Now, I could not have imagined to create a website like this without the help of Claude AI if had sat down myself and started learning how to do it step-by-step. And to top it off, it would have taken me at least 6 months to do this if I had first learnt how to build websites and then executed on it.

If anyone wants to take this platform forward to help me set things up the right way, do reach out as I see it working greatly if it's marketed the right way to the right audience. Maybe the right influencers could pick it up and it go become something. Let me know.

Sounds like you are ready to open a crematorium that specializes in former jewelers.
Sorry I know what you mean - I’m just having trouble finding any data source / website that shows useful comparisons going back that far - what website are you looking at?

These are the 10 year returns I’m seeing according to S&P:

S&P 500: 11.1%

S&P 500 Top 50: 13.2%

S&P 500 Top 10: 18.1%

The trend is pretty clear, at least in the last decade. My other point was that the historical data may not be as relevant because the index is much more top-heavy today, perhaps in part due to the popularity of index funds and part because the top companies are actually outperforming.

Here’s an article to that effect - the top 20 stocks in the S&P accounted for ~90% of the index’s gains last year: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/top-20-stocks-sp-500-ret...

To your question about picking the extreme Top 1 stock - again I’m having trouble finding good data on that, but I’d be curious what the hypothetical outcome would have been over the last 20 years.

The fact that "worth their weight in cold" typically means in the single-digit millions is fascinating to me (though I doubt I'll be able to get there myself, maybe someday). I looked it up though and I think this is undercounting the current value of gold per ounce/lb/etc.

5320814 / 180 / 16 = ~1847.5

Per https://www.apmex.com/gold-price and https://goldprice.org/, current value is north of $2400 / oz. It was around $1800 in 2020. That growth for _gold_ of all things (up 71% in the last 5 years) is crazy to me.

It's worth noting that anyone with a ski house that expensive probably has a net worth well over twice the price of that ski house. I guess it's time to start learning CUDA!

I have a bashed up Surface Pro 7 I took traveling with me. I upgraded my main PC to a Surface Pro 9 when I housed up and have been wondering what to do with with the Pro 7 because it's so battered from being thrown around and used outdoors for a year that it's not really sellable. I was thinking of turning it into a dedicated outdoor/travel computer, installing Fedora and Steam for point and click adventures, and maybe some MIDI/DJ controller software to play tunes. But I no longer have a keyboard for it, so I would need to be able to do the full Linux install by touchscreen. My other Surface is 100% bluetooth input devices to avoid cables, docks and dongles, so I could potentially pair one of those if it would help during install phase, but I wouldn't want it permanently paired. It seems like the advice online is generally "if you don't have a USB keyboard, don't bother", though. Do you think it's worth a shot?
Just because someone objects to a thing doesn't mean that they don't understand that thing.
More modern jewelry manufacturers are moving towards this. There are laser welders with glove boxes and microscopes that are auto shielding, also cnc milling machines in completely enclosed environments where the lubricants that are sprayed on the milling ends are filtered for metal.

I was a jeweler for a couple years and the common practice was to have carpet and a sticky trap at the door. The carpet was torn up every few years and used to throw a company vacation.

I put up a fence in Maine. Why did it cause such a fuss?
Apparently it is 32bit-only and doesn't support mds+mdf while I still have some and some games on Archive.org come in this format. As long as I install a virtual CD driver I would like it to support this format as well. But I am hesitating to install Alcohol 120% (which I used in the past) because it appears 32bit-only and comes with a cryptominer (openly) and a DRM of its own nowadays. I also used DaemonTools during the Windows 2000 days but stopped as I read they were first to integrate some shady bullshit in the free version too (now its free version apparently is adware). Another alternative seems to be WinCDEmu but it somehow seems to be 32bit-only too. Installing a 32bit driver on a 64bit system doesn't sound great.

Please make sure you put in the work before you start taking meds.

I'd like to share a personal story in the hope that it helps you. My brother turned me on to Dr. Amen. We both took his on-line test for ADHD[1] and both tested positive for multiple forms of ADHD. He agreed that my results were much worse.

My brother used that as an immediate excuse to take meds. I instead signed up for his on-line course and lost count of the number of times he said "this practice has been found to be just as effective as medication". I put in the work and it made a major lasting difference in my life. My brother didn't bother with the work, the course, or the recommendations and is still searching for that magic pill or mushroom that will "fix" him.

As an aside, the powerful realization while taking that test is how bad it made me feel. I had flashbacks to all the people I disappointed over the years. It's like every question was "are you also shitty in this way ?". It made me realize: 1) I didn't want to be shitty anymore, 2) with good practices and habits I can fix/mitigate my flaws, 3) and failing meant being dependent on big pharma and doctors who might not have my best intentions.

Please ask yourself sincerely: Have you put in the work ? Do you really care about improving ? Is there a single _simple_ new habit you know would improve your life ? Are you going to start right now working on that one simple habit and writing yourself an email daily/weekly to check your progress ? No one is coming to the rescue. Don't waste your money and a coach's time if you can't even do the bare minimum.

Is WebAssembly the Return of Java Applets and Flash? (2018)
Yes that is regularly done. The jewelry buyers take them out and sell them in lots for very low cost to just about anyone willing to pay, those buyers then recycle the stones into settings or back into stores. The buyers are buying on pure wholesale value, whereas the end jeweler is selling for sentimental value.

1. Then setup a worker thread with a very high nice value, like 19. Limit your throughput with tick-based compute (sleep if you're using too much compute)

2. Not if you do as proposed

3. Efficiency is not your problem, as you've stated with the previous 2 requirements. Your algorithm doesn't have to be maximally efficient if it takes a while to compute (eg you're using sleep in it)

4. Doesn't matter, most users of this service will only be taking a few photos or videos a day. Offer a paid service upgrade for heavy users who cant handle the upload times.

Not only are there wholesale per-domain fees for registries (which tend to increase every few years), and the small ICANN fee for gTLDs, domains also have high customer support overhead that can’t easily be automated away like the LE cert process.

Also keep in mind that domains are a “source of truth” unlike certs, which rely on the domains for verification.
