It would probably a very good idea if you can keep to it.

Doing so with mild T2 diabetes could lead to complete remission (as long as the diet is kept).

In more advanced T2 diabetes it could lead to significant improvement, and reduction of required medication.

People with T1 diabetes simply don't produce enough insulin. External insulin is required.

Management of T1 diabetes is also way more complicated and mistakes are immediately life threatening.

Are you familiar with Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's approach? It is a very low carb diet (he doesn't call it Keto as Ketosis is not the aim) combined with a lifetime of experience managing it.

See his book The Diabetes Solution, his Youtube channel, and the Type1Grit facebook group. There are a lot of type 1s running <5% HbA1C on his program.

He's definitely very contreversial, but I always found his reasoning extremley presvasive. Not to mention that he's a 90 year old with T1 from childhood, still practicing medicine and seeing patients (or at least he's been practicing up to a few months ago).

A VC-funded startup turns profitable and vows to never raise from VCs again
I've found the best approach is to start with traditional full text search. Get it to a point where manual human searches are useful - Especially for users who don't have a stake in the development of an AI solution. Then, look at building a RAG-style solution around the FTS.

I never could get much beyond the basic search piece. I don't see how mixing in a black box AI model with probabilistic outcomes could add any value without having this working first.
As the saying goes, people quit managers, not companies.
I back up this proposal.
Actually it's quite the opposite, I've seen people who cannot accept that they are biological machines start inventing new and novel reasons for their existence, such as beliefs and religions, even though empirically physicalism is the logical conclusion. This really has nothing to do with the article though, it could've been about any topic regarding humans and their beliefs and we would've likely still had a comment like the grandparent.
plenty of blame to go around
I saw this format in the other HN submissions so I assumed it's always supposed to be there. Is it optional when the article is current-year?
I usually ask about the developer's experience and create scenarios based on what they consider their strengths. This approach is fairer, in my opinion, since not everyone has worked with AWS and S3, despite their common usage. Another important point is that you can never truly gauge how well a developer will fit until they actually start working for you. Given the current market is quite favorable for employers, and if you have the scope for development, it might make sense to start with several developers and then keep the one who fits best. However, in this case, please ensure you mention that there will be a probation period.

Additionally, I know many great developers who do not have portfolio websites.
It doesn't matter that it's a separate letter in an alphabet, you're denying the obvious - it IS an accented (or ogonek'ed) variant of A, and you can achieve this in Unicode in 2 ways: having one id for a precomposed variant and composing the variant from two ids.

There is no semantic difference, just an encoding one, the end result looks the same and means the same thing (well, to a point, it still depends on the context - like what language you mean - but within the same context it's the same thing and there are even Unicode rules to treat it the same like in search etc.)

And precomposed is just the same historical deficiency - you could've just as well designed a more compact encoding with no precomposed letters, only combinations
I'm sure there are Very Important Reasons but seems like a poor design.

Looks like your submission currently has a [dead] status, most likely flagged for being spam.

Show HN is for showing your own work, something you've built. That's not the case here, as you are marketing an existing company that has employees (of which you seem to be one). HN readers have an aversion to blatant advertising so I wouldn't recommend that strategy here. Finally, your submission title implies that you made this product, which I think is misleading.
> For example: I would assume that most important results are replicated.

The example you provide is solely your assumption? Seems pretty odd to provide a baseless assumption as an "example".
Huh? But that's a solved problem. Bikes for all those needs exist.
Seems like setting max_tokens crashes your endpoint.
The biggest problem with RAG is that the bottleneck for your product is now the RAG (i.e, results are only as good as what your vector store sends to the LLM). This is a step backwards.

Source: built a few products using RAG+LLM products.

"User preference" does not need to be a part of the sport.

I'm sure some athletes would prefer a more ergonomic discus or shorter hurdles in track and field, maybe the gymnasts would like a slightly different geometry or spring characteristic for the bars or vault, but they don't get that choice.

I understand that people need differently sized bikes because they have different heights and slightly different ratios of leg/torso/arm lengths, but I can easily imagine having three or four standardized frames with adjustable seatposts, seat rails, and stem length, with a selection of various length stems and cranks. Just put the same wheels, the same mech, the same bars, and everything on every bike and see which rider is fastest. Call it an "Olympic bike".

Mainly, systems that intake input and emit output, whether they be in the form of silicon based computers, steam powered machines, etc, seem quite similar to biological machines that also take in input and emit output.

And what part of that do people like to pretend is not the case (see OP)? That we have senses and that we act on sense information?

If input-output is the only message here then it’s a boring and obvious one.

I was surprised by your 90%-Dura-Ace assertion, so I went looking.

https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/tour-de-france-2024-tec...

You're reasonably close to right: 18 of 22 teams ran Dura-Ace, which surprises me because in my enthusiast circles locally the split with Shimano and SRAM is much, much more even. (I personally prefer the latter.)

What REALLY shocked me is this:

"2024 marks the first year that the Tour de France has been without a team using a Campagnolo groupset. This means that it was a two-horse race between Shimano and SRAM for stage honours."

I mean, I know Campy wasn't what it had been. I only know a few folks who run Campy groups, and I don't know anyone who uses the Campy electronic groupset. It's all so expensive, and most shops don't have someone with any experience with their gear anymore, which becomes a death spiral for people who buy their own gear. Still, the idea that the only Euro maker got shut out of even participating in the Tour is amazing to me.

Kagi gets part of their index from Google, per the article, so perhaps that's the reason Kagi still works. Wonder if Vlad and Kagi will do (or have done) the calculus to see if buying crawlability from Reddit itself is cheaper than buying results from Google for Reddit search.
Turn on “show dead” to see their comments.
I don't think the why is that confusing. If you do a physical simulation, so many calculations cancel each other out or work in opposite directions. If there is a pattern to it (and it appears there is for many situations), you just short cut it.

Consider Roger Federer's ability to predict where a tennis ball will land and how to send electrical signals to his body to move in a way that will return that ball with high precision. It's pretty wild the number of short cuts he can make for what is a very complex calculation.
If that is the case, have you considered adding tables or a sql-engine directly to the product.

For some replace LoB use cases just storing the data directly and letting users query it would be an advantage.

2124 Show HN: I found a GoPro buried in lava from the GPT era
They changed robots.txt a month or so ago. For the first 19 years of life, reddit had a very permissive robots.txt. We allowed all by default and then only restricted certain poorly behaved agents (and Bender's Shiny Metal Ass(tm))

But I can understand why they made the change they did. The data was being abused.

My guess is that this was an oversight -- that they will do an audit and reopen it for search engines after those engines agree not to use the data for training, because let's face it, reddit is a for profit business and they have to protect their income streams.
nit: I don't think _expensive_ is quite the right way to think about it. I view it as "hey, this function does IO". The actual cost of doing that IO varies immensely.
> Any function that calls another that returns a Promise will have to return a Promise to represent completion correctly

No, it doesn't, closures let you update values in the wcope of the parent in .then() callbacks and then you can loop in the function and wait for completion and return a non-Promise value.
Networks effects are more powerful than we are. Witness the number of people who despise Xhitter but are still on there. Once something has a sufficient network effect they become immune to normal market forces and able to abuse their position with near impunity.
Then you should tax the borrowed money at the point of borrowing. That's the problem and that's why the law is bad. And stock options law is also bad and should be changed.

This is a very junior take, "I have never used it myself, so it isn't important".
This is counter to my experience - my daughter has received fantastic care. We have regular time with the endocrinologist and get phoned up inbetween clinics. They have provided a closed loop system and all the backup we could have asked for.

This is great. It means I won't see Reddit content popping up all over search results in other engines. Can Medium do the same? And perhaps Quora?
Taking this to the extreme, should providers of other services not censor their products? This includes KYC/AML for financial institutions and section 230 like provisions for social media. It seems like society deems those to be beneficial, why not similar for hosted AI products?

Well, Doors' speed was derived from hardware-assisted context switching, at least on SPARC. Combination of ASIDs (which allowed task switching with reduced TLB flushing) and WIM register (which marked which register windows are valid for access by userspace) meant that IPC speed could be greatly increased - in fact that was basis for "fast path" IPC in Spring OS from which Doors were ported into Solaris.

"Be charitable and intellectually curious. What would "open" look like?"

To really be intellectually curious we need to be open to the idea that there is not (yet) a solution to this problem. Or in the analogy you laid out, that it is simply not possible for the system to be "open source".

Note that most of the licenses listed under the "Licenses for Other Works" section say "It is incompatible with the GNU GPL. Please don't use it for software or documentation, since it is incompatible with the GNU GPL and with the GNU FDL." This is because these are not free software/open source licenses. They are licenses that the FSF endorses because they encourage openness and copyleft in non-software mediums, and play nicely with the GPL when used appropriately (i.e. not for software).

The GPL is appropriate for many works that we wouldn't conventionally view as software, but in those contexts the analogy is usually so close to the literal nature of software that it stops being an analogy. The major difference is public perception. For example, we don't generally view jpegs as software. However, jpegs, at their heart, are executable binaries with very domain specific instructions that are executed in a very much non-Turing complete context. The source code for the jpeg is the XCF or similar (if it exists) which contains a specification (code) for building the binary. The code becomes human readable once loaded into an IDE, such as GIMP, designed to display and interact with the specification. This is code that is most easily interacted with using a visual IDE, but that doesn't change the fact that it is code.

There are some scenarios where you could identify a "source code" but not a "software". For example, a cake can be open sourced by releasing the recipe. In such a context, though, there is literally source code. It's just that the code never produces a binary, and is compiled by a human and kitchen instead of a computer. There is open source hardware, where the source code is a human readable hardware specification which can be easily modified, and the hardware is compiled by a human or machine using that specification.

The scenario where someone has bred a specific plant, however, can not be open source, unless they have also deobfuscated the genome, released the genome publicly, and there is also some feasible way to convert the deobfuscated genome, or a modification of it, into a seed.
There is no meaningful difference between removing money from the money supply and returning it to the Treasury.
I'm sure that was on purpose.

Edit: Reading the comments below, yes, it was.

Very disrespectful behavior.
You'll have to demonstrate that.

Is Google's contract with Reddit exclusive, so that other search engines aren't given the opportunity to also pay?

I highly doubt that, especially since the DOJ would go after that immediately because of antitrust.

So no, pretty sure the blame here is 100% on Reddit unless you have evidence otherwise.

Show HN: Automated data extraction from REST APIs in Python
Dear HN community,

I’m Adrian, one of the creators of dlt, the most popular OSS python library for building data ingestion pipelines. It automates all the tedious data engineering tasks, with features like schema evolution, data normalization and incremental loading.

Recently we released what we call the “REST API source” which provides our users with a declarative interface to define what data to pull from an API. Simply define a python dictionary with your API endpoints, some authentication, where you want to load your data into and dlt will handle the rest!
Interesting, I don't see this in the guidelines or FAQ.

The idea as I understand it is that articles that are not from the current year should be marked to highlight they might be out of date.

There's no reason to put the current year on it, and as you can tell from the home page, most articles don't state the year (and they're recent).
One of the initial consequences of the periodic table was that the gaps were correctly seen as suggesting the existence of elements that had not then been discovered (or made, of course) and as a guide to their chemical properties, which was useful in finding them.

I think it is clear what question is being asked here. There will be a limit on the maximum size of a nucleus stable enough to count as an element, as there are a couple of effects which, at some point, will be insurmountable (and which are also responsible for an isotope of lead being the largest stable element.)

One is that the electrical repulsion of the protons is long-range, while the strong nuclear force binding the nucleons together is short-range. To simplify quite a bit, in a large nucleus, each proton is being repelled by every other one, while it is being bound only by its neighboring nucleons.

The second effect prevents this being worked around by adding more neutrons, as one reaches a point where it is energetically favorable for a neutron to convert to a proton via beta decay.

As mentioned by others, there is likely an 'island of stability' around the largest elements created so far, but this is, at best, only a brief respite from the inexorable effects described above.

The estimates of the half-live of any given element on the island of stability ranges over several orders of magnitude. That being so, it seems unlikely that there is any clear idea which isotope is the largest possible in this universe.

Neutron stars are, of course, very large agglomerations of nucleons, but it seems pointless to call them elements (and there is an upper limit on their size, anyway.)
You guys are decades deep into an ideologically propelled plan to "Starve the beast" by denying the NHS funding so that care quality declines, and use that as justification to privatize the NHS entirely.

The starting salary for a first-year doctor is below the national median income, and for a nurse significantly below. Their inability to requisition funds & time for care is something there is repeated labor action about. The NHS budget is 5.9% of GDP versus the 17.3% of GDP that the US economy spends on healthcare or the 11.3% of GDP that the UK economy spends on healthcare overall.

Maybe more funding will fix it?
The way this stuff seems to work, it doesn't make sense to go theory-first. We can spin up a bazillion theories about it, with no clue which if any are anywhere near true. We've got to just try it, gather experimental data, and see if we can build any more solidly-backed theories around that data.
Even if you are right, how would this response be helpful? You're not giving the right answer, you're just saying the answer given is wrong. Nobody is coming out of this interaction with corrected knowledge in their head.

This is the sort of thing I used to do when I was younger, and looking back, the reason I did it was because I was basing my sense of self-worth in being smarter than other people. Ironically, this made me dumber, because I was less open to the possibility of being wrong and therefore was slower to learn. And, I found doing this made people dislike me.
