You can get high fluoride tooth paste (i.e. ~2% fluoride vs the 0.25% found in normal toothpaste) just by asking from most dentists. Costs about the same per bottle too.

Been doing this for years and have nearly perfect teeth due to it, flossing, and non alcohol based anti-gingivitis/anti-plaque mouth washing.

Also, people who think fluoride is bad for you or think it's not effective for teeth are exactly the kind of people I'm terrified of paying in the context of developing software. I really wish people would wear their love of homeopathy, and other psudo-scientific bullshit more clearly so they can be more easily avoided.

But if you look at it in terms of civilian casualties, they've gone down massively since the start of the war. Israel "has" backed off in many senses of the word.

The problem is that Israel hasn't left Gaza, because despite your statement that the entire Hamas command staff is dead, it seems very likely that the minute Israel leaves, Hamas regains control of Gaza and starts building up strike capability again. So we're in a semi-holding pattern.

Now, there are good questions about why we're in this holding pattern. Many people (including me) think that it's because Netanyahu isn't trying to actually "win" the war, but prolong it, so this situation is good for him. Hence no steps to leave and set up a Hamas alternative, but also no move to more decisively finish the war either. A holding pattern suits Netanyahu just fine, at the expense first and foremost of the Gazan population, but also of the Israeli population (and also the Israeli economy, reputation, etc).

I've been using marblism to build a couple of projects over the last 2 weeks.
It's an incredible product.

Here are my reviews:

- The tech stack selection is exceptional. It comes with batteries included, backend, auth, permissions etc.

- I love the ability to view the database, auth, in one place.

- The LLM itself gets stuck once the APIs and their interactions become slightly complex and deviates from the happy path. (likely because even the starter code is closer 10K lines of code across different files and frameworks)

- I wonder if instead being very opinionated, just a cloud LLM environment with a slightly less "fat" template would be optimal. because after all, people who would be twiddling with generated code are going to be developers who can (most likely) decide what they want.

This is somewhere that Swift is better on non-Apple platforms. You have to upgrade macOS to get Swift bug fixes because the runtime is part of the OS, while on other platforms it’s a separate thing that can be upgraded on its own.

> The death of that one girl is obviously very very tragic, but since almost all pro-Hezbollah commentators are referring to that one specific case, and if that case is even true, that's a pretty clear sign that no other children died. Interestingly I'm now seeing comments where they're making her younger from 10yo, to 9yo, now 8yo in order to exploit the death for propaganda purposes.

She has been consistently identified as either 8 years old or simply a "young girl" from the very first news accounts; I've never seen her given any other age in a news media account. There's probably some confusion in second-hand non-professional-news accounts (like this HN comment thread), confusing her age with other numbers in the same articles (at various times, the total number killed has been reported as 8, 9, 10, or 11 in the same articles identifying her as a particular victim. It is fairly easy to swap her age with the total victim count if you aren't being careful.)

That's not really relevant to the point of them only allowing ECC on Xeon chips though. They do (or at least did) support ECC on non-Xeon chips.

These days though, people are probably better off buying an appropriate Ryzen processor and motherboard that explicitly supports ECC. That's what I did anyway. :)
What are you even talking about? Israel is a country with a population of 9 million people. Do you think if the conflicts stop, this population would just disappear or something?

Whatever the "Jewish identity" was in 1948, Israel now has more than 70 years of existence, giving it an independent identity from just "Judaism".

Anyone know how it handles ligatures? Depending on font and tooling the word "fish" may end up in various docs as the glyphs [ﬁ, s, h] or [f, i, s, h].

According to a quick check against /usr/share/dict/words "fi" occurs in about 1.5% of words and "fl" occurs in about 1%. There are other ligatures that sometimes occur but those are the most common in English I believe.

I don't have any sense of how common ligature usage is anymore (I notice that the word "Office" in the title of this article is not rendered with a ligature by Chrome) but it might be insanity inducing to end up on the wrong side of a failed search where ligatures were not normalized.

Interesting article. This policy has felt like a complete failure, but I didn't know the depths of how badly it has failed.

I really love the Swift language. I think it is really nice to program in. When it is really good, it just is so satisfying. I can get that "ahh" feeling. I feel like it's this weird blend of Ruby, Haskell, Javascript, and some C# influence. And of course there is always Objective-C baggage lurking in the background.

I agree with most of the comments on this thread. The governance of the language really is a problem. You really can't run two models on the same project at once. The incentives just always get screwed up. Better to just be honest about what's going on, and then everybody can work together. But sometimes that means that people need to start getting paid, and companies love to not pay money if they can avoid it.

Also, Apple's tooling is just truly horrendous. It is just awful. I don't understand why they won't do anything about it. Xcode, there are some things that are nice about it, but compare it to really using a tool like IntelliJ IDEA well and Xcode just fails so hard.

And certain UX problems have literally persisted for a decade, and Apple has not done anything about it. It really is kind of unconscionable that Apple does this to their developers. I know on some level I am being ungrateful, because there are mountains being moved behind the scenes by Xcode, and I really do appreciate that. And from watching WWDC talks, I know that there are some really good engineers at Apple that are trying to do the right thing. And some of it is just corporate BS that is unavoidable. But they really do need to get better.

In any case, I hope that this update makes everybody's life better. When it is really nice, I think that Swift has some of the best developer ergonomics out there. That's just one person's opinion, of course.
People really should stop calling a glorified openAI API as an open-source software.

Some people (often due to trauma) have a very different relationship with secrets than you describe. Some people get immense satisfaction from holding secrets, and have no issue keeping it that way. Sometimes those people have other flaws or vices, as often plays out. In my understanding, managing such people is its own meta-game within these professions

We can nuke a dictator. It's going to blow up everything within miles, evaporating millions of people, but it can't get any more targeted than that. Deal with it.

Seriously, tho, it's infuriating that a government literally triggered explosion among general public, right in front of innocent eyes. This is an act of terrorism, harming the lives of innocent people who've been largely unrelated to the conflict.

The larger lesson here is this is what happens when governments try to regulate things they don't understand.

What's even worse is people seem to not care that the policy isn't working, but they aren't telling lawmakers to fix it.
You’re kinda all over the place with your “hints”. Naked shorting and failure to deliver shares have zero relationship to setting a bid price people are willing to buy at.

Shortsqueezes are cases of driving prices up because shares are hard to get and shorts need to cover. Again, not related to the best offer being too low.

Secrets are also dumb examples because that’s hidden information.

What we’re talking about here is the valuation with all of the public information available now. Nobody of any relevant market size seems to agree that it should be $9/share.
We were only temporarily good at shipbuilding in the world wars. The United States just don't have much of an aspiration to be world class in building ships.

It sounds similar in spirit to Little Snitch, mentioned in the article (on macOS, but which inspired OpenSnitch, which runs on Linux). It is awesome indeed, if a bit overwhelming at first. Most regular users would just uninstall it to avoid the constant barrage of requests initially, and then every time a new piece of software tries to connect to anything.

It's running the same compilation steps that the binaries are produced from. If you can get a binary through homebrew, you can compile it from source. It's just unsupported in the sense that the developers don't want to spend their time chasing down build issues on individual user's systems. You're on your own if you break your local build environment.

(Ignoring the packages that are just wrappers around closed source software and fetch binaries whether you compile from source or not. Those are the exception, not the rule.)

> Remind me of where the best universities in the world are again? The places that do admissions solely on test scores? Or these “unfair” places that use more than one metric?

Maybe not the undergrad students, but grad students and many professors of research universities come from the countries where admissions are done solely on test scores.

Having a big single exam that determines one's life outcome is bad on principle, but, it removes corruption, and is the most transparent method, ever.
The cookie policy is a stupid value-signalling stunt with only negative real-life effects. The correct way of handling the problem would have been through request headers and browser settings, or simply, use the existing option of either allowing or disallowing cookies, and put this option on a per-site basis and a bit more into the users face..

I wonder how little snitch sets the dns encryption up. In macOS, you need to setup encrypted dns via a profile System (Settings => General => VPN, DNS & Device Management) and then in the browser. However, I think terminal and appstore still use whatever server is obtained via DHCP and is not encrypted.
That's a ridiculous take. No one involved Israel in this supply chain.

Your preferences should be on the website level though, not global. And you should be asked about it on first visiting the website.

After many years of a lean team serving high scale traffic (> 1 million monthly active users per engineer), most abstractions between customer and data seem to turn into performance liabilities. Any major changes to either client behavior or data model are very likely to require changes to the other side.

There's a lot to be said for just embracing the DB and putting it front and center. A favorite system we built was basically just Client -> RPC -> SQL. One client screen == one sql query.
Ah, gotcha. I agree it would be difficult. I’m still not convinced it would be impossible though.

LLMs could even formalise what you want in the context, even now.

Or do you mean that you can’t formalise every statement when given incomplete information about the context of the statement, since then we have a single word pointing to multiple different contexts?
