There was quite an overlap between the use of bows and guns. Bows were reliable, accurate, quiet, would work in the rain and reloaded quickly. Guns took a long time to exceed them.

I think there is still quite a bit of time left for internal combustion engines.

Long distance is a big one, as is racing. Fuel is lightweight and can still be added quickly.
Well this is a great thing to see an hour after buying some O3s.

I have read though that omega-3 supplements seem to not do much, it's the intake of them dietarily that show results, I'm not sure how current that research is. I've also read that algae as a source might be better? There's a tremendous amount of conflicting information.
I need to have two things of my own that work offline for privacy concerns and cost savings:

I didn't read much because actually the point about the way electricity is generated was already mentioned. It's right there in the first post - with the electricity grid of yesterday. If you'd followed the link you'd see how it was based etc.

Things aren't really that unclear or case to case either. A person buying a tiny IC car will not suddenly decide to buy a 7 ton Hummer EV where suddenly their carbon footprint is much higher. They will buy a Volt or whatever it's called. So there really is nothing really that important other than mileage. EVs are clearly better in every use case, as long as we're talking about the environment.

And lastly first hand experience in driving and owning a car is not helpful in determining carbon footprint. The research I linked to is helpful. Under 20k miles per car (on average - if it makes you feel better, but please note I am not insinuating it will make you feel better) with the electricity grid of yesterday. As the grid decarbonizes, this will be even less.

More EVs please.
Loving this so far, thanks!

I don't see a problem with taking the phone, as long as it's returned by the end of the day. The school should have your phone number on file and can reach you in an emergency. The situations where your child would specifically need to reach you on their own phone with no other possibilities of getting help (or getting their phone back in a hurry) while at school are so uncommon as to be not really with considering.
You can accomplish the same with bpftrace:

bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:sched:sched_process_exec { time("%H:%M:%S"); printf(" uid = %d pid = %d cmd = %s \n", uid, pid, comm); } tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_execve { time("%H:%M:%S"); printf(" uid = %d pid = %d cmd_with_args = ", uid, pid); join(args->argv); }'
This is a fascinating comment that really made me think.

And I'd like to present you with a different perspective.

You write that "My autistic perspective is that there is only a system of the world".

But it's important to realize that the "system of the world" you've developed is from your perspective exclusively. You are modeling everybody in your system, and you may be doing your best to be 100% objective and not push your own agenda.

However, your model is lacking because you can model your own "role" far better than anybody elses "role" -- you know your own preferences and desires with great accuracy, but not other people's. And you'll likely unconsciously assume that other people's preferences and desires as the same as yours, until proven otherwise.

You write "the aspie tendency to make observations about broad sweeping systems comes off as arrogance". But what if it has nothing to do with broad sweeping systems, but the fact that your observations are extrapolating too much from your own preferences/desires that you are projecting onto others without realizing it?

So the perceived "arrogance" may not be what you describe as an inappropriate reaction that you are bringing an agenda to things. But may actually be an appropriate reaction to the fact that you're making too many assumptions in your "observations about broad sweeping systems" that the systems in your head are reality, when they are not.

When I have conversations with really smart people who come across as arrogant, it's not usually because they are being overly objective. It's because while their logic and deductions may be 100% correct, it's their starting assumptions that are wrong, which usually assume that other people have the same preferences/desires as themselves. But sometimes it's really hard to understand just how different people can be.

I agree, however, the battery example was a prime candidate for "it is not always as simple as it seems". LiPo batteries don't like getting squished.
Agree that the repository/service pattern is a good way to adhere to separation of concerns and make refactoring and readability easier.

That said, I really disagree with any precommit checks. Committing code should be thought of as just saving the code, checks should be run before merging code not saving code. It'd be like Clippy preventing you from saving a Word document because you have a spelling error. It's a frustrating experience.

I can make sure my code is good before I submit it for review, not when I'm just trying to make sure my work has been saved so I can continue working on it later (commit).

I agree it’s easy to build a pipeline, but one with validation and the myriad of options that Snowplow provides is not trivial to build.

I see the data model, validation and tracking libraries for any platform you can imagine the hard part.

That’s why we initially went with Snowplow in the first place.
I think self-worth is not a very useful concept. In my mind people with high “self-worth” demand or force others to do things for them - and that’s the definition of anger not “self-worth”. If you are willing to ask others to do things for you and are willing to get a no - that’s the only humane way to behave even thought some may consider it “low self-worth”
I didn’t say no right. I said “more”. You conveniently omit any agency of the people, who refused most agreements on civil division or dialogue.

The VM you just referred to is a virtual machine, that’s what VM stands for.

I think you forgot how this thread got started:

> If you’re on macOS, then Orbstack is a nice alternative to Docker Desktop

We’re talking about running OCI (“Docker compatible”) images. The page you just linked to makes it apparent that you are talking about something orthogonal: OrbStack’s “machines” feature (https://docs.orbstack.dev/machines/).

The original topic is that OrbStack’s support for Docker containers is fast (implied: faster than Docker for Desktop), which cannot be explained by the lack of a VM, as both use a Linux VM to run one or more Docker containers.

> Most of the studies about omega-3 for traumatic brain injury are in animals, but they indicate potential for healing the human brain.

> After a trauma, the brain tends to swell, and the connections between some nerve cells can become damaged, while other cells simply die.

> National Institutes of Health research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may inhibit cell death and could be instrumental for reconnecting damaged neurons.

> Another recent study revealed genes that are activated to contain massive damage – especially inflammation – when the brain is injured. What activates those genes: omega-3.

> “We have strong data that suggest omega-3 will activate good proteins to cope with brain damage and turn off proteins that cause neuroinflammation,” said Dr. Nicolas Bazan, director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health in New Orleans and author of the study.

> Bailes consulted with a fish oil expert and eventually decided that administering 20 grams a day of omega-3 fish oil through a feeding tube might repair the myelin sheath. (For comparison: A typical supplemental dose for someone with an uninjured brain is about 2 grams a day.)

Most are not affected by db migrations in the sense that migrations are run before the service starts the web server during boot. the database might block traffic for other already running connections though,in which case you have a problem with your database design.
At some point it might be appropriate to frame the problem as being with "very large companies," but we're still at a point where the technology (mostly storage) isn't quite ready.

Coming from a US perspective, politicians aren't helping, either. If climate change were really a concern, the US wouldn't be putting a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, and there'd be a large government push for building out the charging network.

Ask HN: When should founders stick to their vision and when should they pivot?
I’ve worked for two founders now that seemed to have been wandering in the dark. With money, but no clear vision and looking for the industry to tell them what they should build next. The first one had their original product wiped out by lockdowns, the other sees the writing on the wall, but for the time being is still using it as a cash-cow.

On the one hand, I criticize them for not having a bold vision and then taking a big bet to make it a reality. On the other, I respect the idea of taking a data-driven approach by making small bets and seeing how they play out.

Neither has succeeded or failed [yet], just limped along. I question if the later is inevitable. A long drawn out death by mediocrity.
This is incredibly common with things such as fungi, which are known to have numerous benefits across a wide body of studies. The catch is that most of the supplements are just filler, leftover parts you can't use for much else e.g. ground up stem or even growth medium that has little to nothing in it.
Worth noting that a lot of the improvement gains you get from RAPTOR are (from my use cases) related to giving context to the chunks. Simpler but easier to implement methods of summarizing context (e.g. in a hierarchical document) and cutting chunks around document boundaries can get you most of the way there with less effort (again, as other mentioned, it depends though on your use)

Five easy ways to run an LLM locally
Exactly. If your project already uses npm and Node, why not just use npm scripts for trivial tasks like this? Adding an extra dependency (Make) to build a project doesn't make sense.

Even if your project needs a more sophisticated build system that requires caching builds and managing conditional dependencies, turborepo and the like offer even better support for javascript codebases out of the box. Turborepo can be a workspace dependency so technically you don't even have to manually and separately install a build system to build your project.

I dunno if you can always do them in order. I've seen so many projects fail because they left "make it fast" until the very end ("but premature optimisation!") and then found they'd written tens of thousands of lines of code using a language or architecture that was fundamentally slow, and making it fast would require a full rewrite.

I think it's fine advice in some circumstances but like so much coding advice the real skill is not knowing the advice, it's knowing when to apply it.
34% throughput improvement seems less than expected. Shouldn’t it be closer to 2x?
What you suggest is not impossible but simply flies in the face of all currently available evidence and what all leading labs say and do. We know they are actively looking for ways to do things more efficiently. OpenAI alone did a couple of releases to that effect. Because of how easy it is to switch providers, if only one lab found a way to run a small model that competed with the big ones, it would simply win the entire space, so everyone has to be looking for that (and clearly they are, given that all of them do have smaller versions of their models)

Scepticism is fine, if it's plausible. If not it's conspiratorial.

Examine.com summary:

> Fish oil supplementation has been noted to be comparable to pharmaceutical drugs (fluoxetine) in majorly depressed persons, but this may be the only cohort that experiences a reduction of depression. There is insufficient evidence to support a reduction of depressive symptoms in persons with minor depression (ie. not diagnosed major depressive disorder)

They give it a B for the research and an effect size of moderate improvement. Also a B with a small effect size for anxiety.

https://examine.com/supplements/fish-oil

I’d note it also says:

> A meta-analysis of 35 small, randomized trials found that fish oil can slightly improve depression when compared to control. However, this improvement may be too small to be noticeable. Also, adding fish oil to antidepressant medication seems to be more beneficial than antidepressant treatment alone

In short, sounds like it’s worth throwing in as an adjunct treatment for people wanting to take a kitchen sink approach

Vladimir Zolkin is an Ukrainian journalist who has recorded hundreds of hours of interviews with Russian POWs and published them on Youtube. He started in the first weeks of the war and is still going. By now he's probably interviewed over a thousand of them. These are long interviews, in depth, usually up to an hour or even more, including POWs' calls home and interviewing their relatives too if they agree. According to his own words, he has entirely given up trying to "change their mind". These are just completely brainwashed people, incapable of independent thought, apathetic like zombies, automatically repeating instilled thoughts as soon as certain keywords are hit. Change will only come when they are replaced by a new generation that is free of this programming. Until then, the best course of action for us is to build a tall wall between us and hope that they won't attempt to drive a tank through it.

What you are pointing at is nothing new. Naive attempts to "build bridges" with people who see bridges only as an easy way of driving a tank over to us is how we got here in the first place:

What 2 decades of coding taught me is, it all depends on the company. We all aspire to write clean code that scale. But most often then not, you inherit the code.

If you work for a company that is built to sell, you will code fast and break things. Each feature is a show case to future buyers.

If you work with "experts", you will write clean, scalable code that no one will buy. The priority is the code, not the product.

If you are lucky, you'll work in a company that is profitable without a hyped up product. Here you have the bandwidth to refactor.

I've worked in several companies that are built to sell. Tech debt is ignored unless there is a major breach.

ok I said. #emacs treated me respectfully. ten years later, emacs has a lively community. vim has some forks.
