It should be said that, whether these are really problems depends heavily on how animal agriculture is done.

In many cases animals graze on marginal land that can’t be used to grow human food directly. In these cases the alternative ways to get the same protein production could imply cutting down land in other countries to grow protein rich crops for humans.

Water use doesn’t have to be high. In the US it’s a product of industrialised animal agriculture, bad subsidies and free water rights that farmers are forced to use unless they want to use those rights.

Animals can convert food that humans can’t eat into food that we can eat. In some cases they eat the part of the plant that we don’t.

EU has prohibited all routine use of antibiotics in farming. Other countries should follow.

And there are upsides of animal agriculture as well. They are often a critical to do regenerative agriculture. In the best case they eat grass from land that we can’t grow stuff on, eat parts of the plants that we can’t eat ourselves, and give us high quality fertiliser that greatly improves soil quality. There’s a reason farm animals have been with us for millennia.

That said we should absolutely eliminate all heavily industrialised animal agriculture, which means we have to reduce meat consumption. It would be interesting to know how much meat we could eat if all meat production was sustainable.

Hot take: Markdown was nice back in the day when in-browser editors sucked for the most part and we just wanted to get things done and didn't mind the little bit of noise it adds to content. It was an act of satisfysing.

In 2024 though, there is no need to have to deal with markdown. There are decent editors that are far nicer to use which support rich text without the need to see past the markdown noise. Any company serious enough with their app should invest in creating/using a rich text editor

AI Tool Roasts LinkedIn Profiles with Brutal Honesty and It's Blowing Up
ust launched: an AI-driven tool that doesn’t hold back. It savagely roasts LinkedIn profiles with ruthless precision, and it’s quickly going viral. If you think your profile is untouchable, this might change your mind. Only for those who can handle the heat.
This happened to me on LinkedIn about a week ago, and I have been back-and-forthing with support on a new account I created, which also got locked out.

I have decided to cancel all my accounts. I want the entire internet to be nuked at this point.

Yes, unfortunately, but the freight traffic (which will needlessly stay diesel) is small, just a couple trains per day. It’s not the 1940s anymore when huge amounts of freight came ashore in San Francisco and propagated down the Southern Pacific line. There are only a couple freight customers left on the Peninsula. Caltrain actually owns the line and previously had the right to kick Union Pacific freight off, but at some point (the 90s?) this right was given up.

Regardless, there’s no excuse for the remaining freight (which operates in off-peak hours) to use diesel. Electric freight locomotives are perfectly common in countries where railroading isn’t still stuck in the 1800s.

The only thing i can comment on this question is that there is an illness of very bad landing/home pages where it is absolutely not possible to understand what a service or product is or does. people who make these are perfectly familiar with their own work but people who have not heard or seen it will have a very different view. So i would not care about the landing page per se, but i would definitely care about clearly communicating what you are actually selling. Don't try to be clever, be very specific, clear and boring. Explain what it is you or your product does in clearest and shortest possible way. Then go on an expand on why it is better than the competition or what makes it different.

Few bad examples:

MySql home page does not explain a single thing, it only says "The world's most popular open source database". If you have never heard about it, you will have no clue what the product is or does. All it says is that it is some kind of database and that it probably is liked by people.

MongoDB home page "Build faster. Build smarter. " - yeah, no freaking clue what it is or does.

Google Cloud: "The new way to cloud starts here" ... ah, ok...

JetBrains: "IntelliJ Platform. Open Source Platform for Building IDEs and Developer Tools" - how am i supposed to understand that it actually IS an IDE? They don't tell me that.

And there are endless examples of very bad landing pages out there. So make clear and concise communication the utmost priority. When you are done, ask friends and family, someone who has no knowledge of the product/service or even better is not in tech altogether(a normie) and let them tell you what they think you are selling.
There's no state actor that any of that would protect against. You, and everyone else, is already compromised at a level so deep there is no hope of digging out if that is your adversary.

What these technologies protect is market share, nothing more.
I am also still struggling with this. Tried various prompts along the lines of "draw me the inside of a cylindrical space habitat rotating along it's axis to create artificial gravity", like a more detailed:

"Create a highly detailed image of the interior of a massive cylindrical space habitat, rotating along its axis to generate artificial gravity. The habitat's inner surface is divided into multiple sections featuring lush forests, serene lakes, and small, picturesque villages. The central axis of the cylinder emits a soft, ambient light, mimicking natural sunlight, casting gentle shadows and creating a sense of day and night. The habitat's curvature should be evident, with the landscape bending upwards on both sides. Include a sense of depth and scale, highlighting the vastness of this self-contained world."

flux kind of got the idea but the gravity is still off.

Bit of an odd warning though, considering how half the internet works. I suppose the warning is missing some context.
It is a bad idea to give your API key directly to web services you don't know or trust. For those situations, OAuth with fine-grained scopes would be more suitable.

If it is just your own web app, and you have an input for a key, I don't really see the issue.
Imagine some military institution or government body needs a piece of custom but trivial software. I doubt they will be able to hire contractor with unlicensed developers to do the job.

ZorinOS is great for the casual user. I've previously found myself in "flame wars" here for saying it before, but I think the most Windows-like distro -- and even the one that takes it upon itself to (reasonably) auto-install packages to make it happen -- is very important to advocate for in this age of enshittification for the Windows product.

ZorinOS is/has:

- a familiar interface to Windows users;

- an easy installation process;

- several pre-installed softwares out-of-the-box;

- a storefront for auto-installs of packages and softwares;

- out-of-the-box support for Steam, Lutris, and Wine;

- lightweight;

- Ubuntu-based;

Generally speaking that is what OAuth should be used for with clearly defined scopes and insights in what apps are making use of the API through your account. Not an API key with full access and no limitations.

With openAI and other providers, I know you can limit the budget for a key, but that is still a pretty broad scope you are left with.
The average Western man burns less than 2000 kcal/day, I would say optimistically 1500 kcal/day for the people around me, most of them don't exercise much.

The problem with your computation is that the body is not stupid, when you stop eating, it stops burning. I don't know the exact numbers, but it is absolutely not linear like that.
They're really banning almost everyone that dares speak up.

I don't have any affiliation with the Python forums, but I'd like to just use this soapbox to at least air some of my worries as someone who is neurodivergent.

I have to include the clause that this is not the universal neurodivergent experience. We're not a monolith. This is my own experience, but I don't feel like I am the only one.

https://discuss.python.org/t/inclusive-communications-expect...

I've gone down the rabbit hole and what I dug up was honestly just scary. I very much resonated with Karl in that thread, the constant walking on eggshells in the dark, not knowing when someone you say in good faith might construed as "problematic behavior". Karl made a new thread saying he's leaving:

https://discuss.python.org/t/im-leaving-too/58408

And promptly got banned. This prompted Tim to open a thread about this:

https://discuss.python.org/t/how-can-we-better-support-neuro...

I feel Tim tries to do his best for the community at every step. But he got booted with one of the reasons being:

"- Dismissing unacceptable behavior of others as a “neurodivergent” trait, which is problematic because it creates a stereotype that neurodivergent people are hard to interact with and need special treatment."

The matter of the fact is: Some of us do need special treatment. We're not kids, but you can't expect us to act like a perfect neurotypical person would. We are sometimes hard to interact with. Stop pretending neurotypical people and neurodivergent people are the same! We're not the same: We're not better, we're not worse, we're different.

I'm sick and tired of people speaking on our behalf in the name of diversity. The hand that is reached out in the name of "neurodivergence accessibility" is often quickly pulled back when we don't fall in line with the guidelines centered on neurotypical sensibilities. We're free to be neurodivergent as long as we act neurotypical enough.

Now, I don't really care much about the Python community by itself, but I feel this is a barometer for the wider state of the open source community.

To me, it just makes me feel neurodivergent people are not welcome in these spaces.
> Cheap tools are always cheap for a reason.

Right, and that reason is because there is a market for testing tool waters to see if it is a tool that you even need. Often you cannot truly appreciate if a tool is a tool you should have before trying it. You can read testimonials from other people all day, every day, but until it is actually in your hand...

So, hypothetically, do you buy the $100 version with clear compromise, but good enough to offer some validation, or go for the $1,000 ultimate version from the hop? That's the gamble. If your assumption was right, you're in deep for $1,100, but if your assumption proves wrong, you're only out $100. That's the idea here. When in doubt, try the cheap tool, and when you're still wanting to use it beyond its constraints, you've proven you need the more premium product. If you leave it sitting on the shelf, now you know you don't need the tool at all.

As with all short-soundbite suggestions, it's not meant to apply to all situations. But in the average case, it is likely that you are better off gambling the hypothetical $100 – especially when the undertone is within a hobby context. It is very likely you will discover you didn't really like the hobby anyway. Of course, as always, it is assumed you will still bring your thinking cap to the table. Indeed, there are situations where going straight to the hypothetical $1,000 tool is the right choice, but the saying is merely pointing out that it isn't always the best choice like some people are inclined to believe.
Most of that time he was in a series of caves located in a fairly apathetic nuclear power's boarders.

He was also trained and equipped by the CIA.

So, if you're willing to live in caves where they can't easily search for you after being trained and equipped by the best of the best, sure, you might live slightly longer.

Doesn't seem like a tenable circumstance to me though.
I think the parent's (@layer8's) snippet provides a pretty accurate and succinct statement of Putin's true (internal) position, actually (most of it anyway -- there was also his hope that the SMO would help keep Ukraine and Belarus out of Western influence, and forever grateful for the Motherland's tender affections and embraces; and likely strengthen Russia's long-term position in the oil and gas markets, as a sweet little bonus on top). Even more basically, it was all about enhanced "stature" vis-a-vis the West, which he presumed Russia would naturally and rightly win as a result of the brilliant technical operation he had planned.

As opposed to the external narratives -- about NATO expansion, denazification, and the supposed need to "protect" the Russian-speaking population, and all that garbage (that unfortunately a certain contingent on HN seems all too eager and happy to believe, pretty much exactly at face value).

At the start of the invasion, anyway. By now things have changed dramatically of course, and his true position is probably a lot closer to your description.
How to start
How some people can actually start too many startups and some people can't even start one. What is the actual Process of find problems around us?
Depends how you do this. If you allow users to configure their own key, they basically end up using https to communicate the API key directly to the party that issued it. Not much of a risk of leakage there and very common with e.g. browser and editor extensions written in javascript. In a browser, you need the server to be setting CORS headers for this to work.

Provisioning some key to your users so they can then pass it on via a client side API call would indeed be more risky. Don't do that. But if it's their own key it's all fine.

Can we talk about the elephant in the room for a second? tens of millions of people are taking this, and they'd need to keep taking this medication for the effects of the drug to remain.

If there is a legitimate hormonal imbalance or genetic defect, I get it. But short of that, are there not only two root causes left? Which in my opinion would be:

1) Poor diet, which includes poor quality in food supply

2) Poor choices being made, or made for people. This includes car-centric cities, sedentary lifestyle and similar well known ailments of modern life.

The root cause isn't being solved, only the adverse effects are temporarily inhibited so long as people continue to afford dependency on the pharmaceutical industry. How can any medical professional support this?

It is already so hard to trust American medicine; doctors having intimate financial relationships with pharma is already a public secret. This certainly doesn't help. They already ruined generations by blaming weight gain on fats instead of sugar because of these corrupt relationships with pharma and other corporate types. I don't doubt the efficacy of the medicine, but the disease is not fatness, it is the reason we get fat that needs to be solved. Rarely do shortcuts result in long term solutions. Why is this different? How do I know this won't expose us to higher cancer risks, new types of diseases like nutrition absorption disorders or becoming over dependent on these medicines and developing malnutrition?

I just don't get the lack of skepticism.

Mid-80s is a bit late for a test from 1989. Most of these questions would need you to be in university or work. I'd say mid 40s to early 70s is more realistic. My uncle was born around '48 and was working at Cambridge Computer Lab in 1989, so I'm sure would have answered this.
Good point on the update frequency, I believe it is a must to batch the requests and responds for any of this type of lib/service to work in a production environment, a performance report/comparison is still required for ppl to get the idea if this is good to support their business model.
