No, "usable" product cannot be quite the correct expression. The macros per 100g of dry pasta are for the dry, not the cooked product. I'd venture to guess that few people eat their pasta dry.
I don't see how you can be forced to resolve all disputes via arbitration. I could understand signing an agreement to first attempt arbitration (with timeouts and bounds set), but it feels like you shouldn't be able to fundamentally sign this right away. They could literally enter into indefinite arbitration if they wanted to.

I think this is a terrible use anyway:

1. The one month free trial contract was only valid during the one month, back in 2019.

2. The contract, even if it was still valid, was with the person who died, and not the family.

3. Due to Disney's claimed negligence, arbitration has become impossible, as they have now died.

If this is allowed to stand, it means that when visiting a Disney park, an employee could gun down hundreds of people, and they would have zero recourse. They could poison thousands of guests, and they would be stuck to resolution by arbitration, which is a process they entirely control.

Moin,

i want to present you an encryption library I wrote for the past year. The core is written in rust and it is cross compiled to wasm or to flutter targets (thanks to flutter_rust_bridge).

Repo: https://github.com/sentclose/sentc/

Homepage for deep dive (docs are currently for wasm and flutter): https://sentc.com/

It covers

- Group encryption up to a very large amount of members incl. key rotation inside groups (creating a new key and distribute it securely to all group member).

- User and device management. A user can have multiple devices with different logins (this can be useful to allow users login with their phone without a password)

- Encrypted file up and download. Files will be split into 4 mb chunks and each chunk will be encrypted by a new key. This key will then be encrypted by the previous key.

- Support for search- and sort-able encryption. With searchable encryption, you can still search over encrypted data in your database. With sort-able encryption, the output can be sorted in the same order as the input

The library can be used with different crypto implementations thanks to rusts generics. Right now there are three different implementations available:

- completely in rust, no other dependencies are needed. This will be used with wasm and flutter

- fips complaint with openssl (no sort-able encryption because this algorithm is not fips compliant)

- a combination of openssl and oqs (using an updated version).

You can activate each keys in the library by adding feature std_keys for the rust impl, fips_keys for the fips complaint impl, rec_keys for the combination.

- The full rust impl and the combination are using: aes 256 gcm for symmetric encryption

- x25519, kyber (for full rust) / ml-kem (for oqs) or a hybrid combination of both (default) for asymmetric encryption

- ed25519, dilithium (for full rust) / ml_dsa (for oqs) or a hybrid combination of both (default) for sign and verify

- ope for sortable encryption and hmac for searchable encryption

There are currently higher level implementations for javascript and flutter but a rust sdk will be released soon.

Please let me know what you think. Wish you a great day.
This is an argument commonly raised in favor of a whole food diet: if what you're buying is recognizable, there's less room for tampering. Buying an apple, there could be pesticide residue on the skin, but buying applesauce, goodness knows what they put in there, intentionally or otherwise. And in fact, this is advice I've encountered when buying spices (which tends to be international and a lot of middlemen): buy whole to reduce the chances of adulteration. Whole cinnamon is hard to fake; ground cinnamon could contain literally anything.

While no defense is perfect, and you'd generally like to know and trust the source of your food (and this is an important piece of the puzzle), preferring things in a visually verifiable whole format does offer a way to limit the possible or likely damage. It works in restaurants, too: you can order an unadorned steak, and might still worry about peanut oil residue from the grill, but it beats ordering stir fry and wondering what the abundant gloopy sauce is made of and if the cook even fully knows or if he gets it out of a can too.

I entirely agree. I’m quite sure Musk has a very strong stance on ethics, but it would be great to hear about it more clearly, and ideally not just through words, but through actual actions.

I am in the EU.

The line of 'following the law of another country' is grey area on the internet, given that it goes both ways:

EU online companies providing services to US users fail to provide the free speech guarantees that the US laws afford their citizens. That's because all EU countries have more strict laws limiting free speech. Should the EU companies break their own countries' law to satisfy the US audience?
AFAIK, lactose intolerance is a spectrum. I come from a country with spotty lactose tolerance so I've known multiple intolerant people. Just to give you an example:

I am mildly intolerant. I can have a small glass of whole milk with some discomfort, namely gas and bloated stomach. People who are highly intolerant would have a really, really bad time with the same amount with cramps, diarrhea and whatnot.
I thought the point of copyleft was mainly to protect the freedoms of users.

I have zero faith in AI for this use case. But if you want an example for this idea with actual human validation, a small Israeli VC fund created an "Idea Graveyard" where entrepreneurs share ideas that failed with an explanation of what was the idea, how far did it get, and why it failed.

I think that for someone with zero experience in funding a VC backed company its a great place to get a feeling of what you need to do to "Validate" your idea, by seeing what people in similar positions did to validate theirs.

> It's not courtesy if it's non consensual, same way that wealth redistribution isn't charity

I truly don't understand what you are talking about. When I was in primary school, and perhaps in no small part due to some prosopagnosia, I was unable to determine the gender of my peers reliably. This occasionally resulted in violence as I misgendered peers.

Do you live in a part of the world where you can use whatever pronouns you want on people?

If no, what exactly are we disagreeing about?

> standing for

Can you explain what, exactly, it is that you're standing for?

> There's nothing to feel, these people are neither male or female and would indeed deserve a specific pronoun, but pragmatism would make it as logical as making all cars fit for one-armed people

That's why they generally choose one or the other? Occasionally, someone will prefer a "non-standard" pronoun but I have never faced someone that didn't accept "they" (which, by the way, was my coping strategy in my childhood - when in doubt, use "they"! This was in pre-internet era of regional Queensland, Australia, where we barely had dictionaries, let alone knew what a pronoun even was)

You've obviously put a lot of energy and thought into this issue but I'm not exactly sure what the issue /is/
Show HN: A free tool to visualise scales on a guitar
Hey everyone,

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on that I think could be really helpful for fellow guitarists. It’s called StringScales (https://stringscales.com), and it’s a free tool that I built because, honestly, I've been able to learn so much about music on the internet, and I wanted to contribute something useful.

It started as a personal project. I’ve always felt that a lot of the tools available for guitarists could be better... more intuitive, more accessible, and without the constant need to pay for basic features like CAGED or 3NPS position highlighting.

So, I created StringScales to help visualize a plethora of scales across the fretboard in a way that’s straightforward and fully customisable to your practicing or teaching needs.

There’s no hidden costs or premium versions - just a simple, free tool that I hope will make your practice sessions a bit smoother. Whether you’re just starting out or have been playing for years, I think you'll find something useful in it.

I have a lot of features still planned (chords visualisation, harmony generation,...) but the only way I can keep making StringScales better is by deeply understanding the needs of the community. So, if you do decide to give it a try, I’d really appreciate any feedback.

Take a look at https://stringscales.com if you’re interested!

Anecdotally, I am used to seeing the prepared nutrition values for certain food types here in Norway (which is aligned with EU regulation through EEA). It is quite common, and not always acompanied by values for raw unprepared product.

From Article 31:
"Where appropriate, the information may relate to the food after preparation, provided that sufficiently detailed preparation instructions are given and the information relates to the food as prepared for consumption."

Usually on the bottle of lactase enzyme pills it will just say "take before consuming a lactose-containing product." But actual usage will really depend on the degree of lactose intolerance of the person. For example my wife is only mildly lactose intolerant: she can consume hard cheeses and many processed products containing dairy just fine, but soft cheese, milk, cream, etc. will give her digestive problems.

She mostly gets by simply avoiding these things, but she really really loves a good quality burrata so she will take an enzyme pill when she wants to indulge.
Are they good for that either? I haven't seen one where the data isn't huge

The question isn't about modifications to the library/service itself, but whether with other code linking to it in any way is what you have considered a derivative work that should also be covered by the AGPL.

For a library I'd say that was a definite yes. For a service it is someone's less clear, some provide connective tissue (language bindings or other access modules) under less strict licenses which creates an obvious break in the chain, without that or very definite answers to the question on the post you replied to it is unclear how tightly coupled you need to be to need to use AGPL for your own work and I would err on the side of assuming (because it is GPL based) any coupling would have that effect.

Not that this would put me off using LGPL, but it is just as disconcerting, if not more so, to commercial interests, as the GPL is.
That's true, didn't think of pasta ...

Not sure how to express it then, but on the other hand beverages sold as concentrate and mixed with water before drinking ("cordials" in English, I think) seem less common elsewhere so perhaps it's a local/Swedish thing and not a very good thing to focus on at all. :)

[1]: Like https://orklafoodsrs.se/produkt/454051626, scroll down and the nutritional info ("Näringsvärde") is right there and it's clearly the diluted drinkable version, not the concentrate.
I've just realised people are upset because I called the EU regulations dumb. I want to clarify, they are an excellent idea, I truly mean it, but I think it should be OPT IN. Its more important for me to have access to cool tech then it is to have privacy, atm , in this stage of my life. I guess my problem is the implementation.

Cookie popups on every website, its completely idiotic. Ofcourse I end up wasting hours of my life clicking on them randomly. There should just be an OPT IN for the cookie popup, or OPT OUT. Either on a EU portal or something.

Infact I find it fascinating noone is coming up with a better implementation of privacy concerns in the EU. This whole US not releaseing software incase they get sued, and thinking its fine for the whole EU population to go around clicking popups every 2 seconds is a total failure that needs to be fixed.

Again the idea is good, but the implementation needs to be fixed.

I took a look at the most recent cohort of YC, and one stood out.
It's some sort of referral marketplace front / personal shopper for electronics that's just a wrapper for some chatGPT external calls.
I do not understand how it got in. The founders admitted on Reddit that they were surprised as well, as they "only had the idea" and didn't even have an MVP yet.
Then I saw their high-level US education, their working pedigree (Tencent employees, I believe), and realized that, you know, it's not really and fundamentally about the idea, is it?
Otherwise your LLM wrapper could also stand a chance to get into the next YC cohort.

>Supporting Russia’s revanchist war on Ukraine has undeniably hurt the ability of many western countries

I don't think China "supports" Russia's war efforts like how the US is sending billions and weapons to Ukraine. They're buying cheap oil (just like India) and ignoring the call for sanctions on Russia from the same entities that have sanctioned China.

Why should China follow those sanctions? It makes no sense for China.

After all, it's the G7 that has excluded China, India, and other BRICS members. It's G7 that has set out to slow China's growth and their rise in high value exports such as tech. So why should China then follow G7 sanctions? Some perspective is needed.

Blame should be put solely on the entities who started the war.
Yes, and I also noted how it beats Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Chatbot Arena by a bit of a margin.

This further feeds into my concern that the more advanced AI models we get, random enthusiasts at that site may no longer be able to rank them well, and tuning for Chatbot Arena might be a thing. One that is also exploited by GPT-4o. GPT-4o absolutely does not rank wildly ahead of Claude 3.5 Sonnet in a wide variety of benchmarks, yet it does in Chatbot Arena... People actually using Claude 3.5 Sonnet are also quite satisfied with its performance, often ranking it more helpful than GPT-4o when solving engineering problems, but at the expense of tighter usage limits.

Chatbot Arena was great when they were still fairly stupid, but these days, remember that everyday people are put against the task of ranking premium LLM's even solving some logic puzzles, trick questions and with a deep general knowledge far beyond that of singular humans. They can strike against traditional weaknesses like math, but then all of them suffer. So it's not an easy task at all and I'm not sure the site is very reliable anymore other than for smaller models.
Great Landingpage!

I wonder if there are reading lists, similar to the Harvard Classics, but curated for a more contemporary audience based on which books are important now.
After all, the first volumes of the Harvard Classics came out over a century ago, and the world has changed considerably since then.

I don't think it's very common to experience antifragility outside of abstract complex systems such as economic markets. My intuition is that physical systems which exhibit antifragility tend to be metasystems, and the antifragility is described in the context of achieving specific states of subsystems.

For example, with the universe in relation to supernovas, we can say that a supernova wipes out a solar system. But new solar systems then take their place, with a different metal distribution that may be more conducive to advanced intelligence. If advanced intelligence is the goal, we might say that the universe is antifragile to supernovas, or more generally to the effects of gravity.

However, it's definitely a matter of perspective given that supernovas themselves are entirely inconsequential to the universe as a whole, and are only relevant to subsystems at specific emergent layers within the universe.

We could also form similar conclusions about natural evolution in general.

We might even be able to generalize further and posit that there is a natural tendency for order to arise out of chaos, and so order itself is antifragile to chaos, given that order thrives under the right chaotic conditions[0] and isn't simply immunized against it. So antifragility may exist as a fundamental property of the foundation of stuff, but it's not automatically an inheritable property of subsystems.

It all becomes very abstract, but at least we can define some constraints, namely that antifragility should be described in terms of optimization goals and measurement of specific states, and are thus subjective to the observer and not an innate property of the universe or any other system.

Totally agree with this comment.

I've worked as a programmer, care assistant, office clerk and for 6 months as a Maths teacher in a UK Further Education College.

The teaching was incredibly demanding - way ahead of the other jobs. 6 hours a day engaging a class of 18-year-olds. Hours of marking and prep in the evening. Extra teaching at the Easter break. Marking at Christmas. Dealing with student mental health issues, drug issues, fights between gangs.

Had to leave for my own health and 1 other teacher just walked out mid-semester - 2 others were out on long-term sick leave.

Another sign it's a tough profession: there's ~ 2,800 teaching vaccancies in the UK at the moment [1] and schools struggle to recruit.

I've nothing but respect for those teachers that do it year after year.
