Years ago we complained about the speed with which new JavaScript frameworks were popping into existence. Today it goes one order of magnitude faster, and the quality of the outputs can only be suffering. Yes there's code but so and so, interfaces and APIs change dramatically, and the documentation is a few versions behind. Who has time to compare simply cannot do it in depth, and ideas get also dropped on the way. I don't want to call it a mess because it's too negative, to have many ideas is great but I feel we're still in the brainstorming phase.

Maybe when you detect urls that return the rss mimetype notify the owner of the site/CF account that it might be a good idea to allow bots on that urls.

You should be suspicious of definitions where the average is abnormal. If 75% of people are over weight, maybe the definition of overweight is wrong.

These definitions are arbitrary anyway. In india they define a bmi of 25 as obese. The same indian after moving to America is not obese until a bmi of 30.

Meanwhile, the average height is also going up, which also correlates with lower life expectancy.

Cardiologists already had to back off their blood pressure guidelines when they defined the average middle aged man as hypertensive in the past.

Did you mean that English speakers don't pronounce Russian names the way Russians do?

Ask your local Russian to pronounce rural Worcestershire the way that English speakers do.

Your typical Russian speaker cannot. Is it that they aren't "bothering"? The idea is absurd. Let people approximate foreign names in their own tongue. Or, if the way that they naturally pronounce something is truly atrocious, give them a name that is easier to pronounce.

Or watch this fellow give foreign pronunciation his best shot: https://youtu.be/fKGoVefhtMQ Absurd, right?
I knew what it stood for, but a pet peeve of mine in any form of engineering documentation (or frankly any technical documentation in any field) is not spelling out acronyms/initialisms on their first use; it was drilled into me in my degree; always spell out the first time you use a term on the assumption that the reader doesn't already know what any of it stands for.

I both expect and don't expect this from Microsoft, but it makes me irrationally annoyed and I'm already feeling adversarial when reading something that does this in the first sentence no less.
Seems more like a sense than a smell. It's probably worth investigating, but the headline seems spurious given the qualifications in both the nw article and the original study. Hospitalizations seems a poor measure from which to draw broader conclusions.

This leaves open the possibility that while Ozempic may (for reasons currently unknown) prevent people from taking so much alcohol or heroin that they overdose and end up in a hospital, it may not actually help them to reduce their substance use, or to abstain altogether."

Ask HN: What's the untold story behind Notion?
You’ve probably heard the popular version of Notion’s story—how the team faced struggles, went to Japan, and eventually built the product we all know today. But I’m curious about what happened before that.

According to Wikipedia, Notion was founded in 2013 by five people: Ivan Zhao, Chris Prucha, Jessica Lam, Simon Last, and Toby Schachman. I've also heard rumors that it was the result of a merger between two startups.

Has anyone come across a detailed account of this early history? Would love to dig deeper into how it all started.

Thanks in advance—this community is always the best at uncovering these kinds of stories!

Not just you. The font is absolutely too thin to be used for body text.

It might be more readable on low-res screens that hint the strokes to a full pixel width, but on Retina screens it's simply too hard to read.

Thin weights like that are meant for display uses (titles, posters, etc.), not body text.
This “trust the science” attitude is a massive failure of science education. Science should empower people to understand things themselves so they don’t need an appeal to authority - while also setting high standards for what it really takes to have an informed opinion. Instead you get people that claim to be “pro science” that understand nothing deeply, and will attack anyone who dares to develop a deeply informed opinion on their own. If they really understood scientific thinking instead of attacking, they could ask questions to see if the person with the controversial opinion took the time to deeply understand by e.g. studying the scientific literature, or if they just believed a conspiracy meme on Facebook.

When I’ve shared controversial opinions, especially on here- I’ve been attacked and ridiculed by these people, despite citing my reasoning and evidence. If I mention I am an academic PI that is widely published and known in the field they will switch their tone- but if it is my official titles rather than a sound argument that convinces them, they don’t get science at all.

> When people try and say that regulating stuff like this is impossible

I suspect that people who say this have no experience of European-like systems which work on the basis of regulating things to prevent them from becoming an issue.

A huge part of this is to make sure the regulators have clear guidance and the teeth to enforce regulation. Take, for example, the UK's Health and Hygiene regulator. They have the power to inspect premises and processes and force proprietors to make their ratings visible. In extreme cases, they can shut down an establishment for non-compliance.

Is it 100% perfect? Obviously not, people still get food poisoning or swallow glass in their food. That said, it's not common, and you can easily avoid 1* establishments. If someone isn't displaying their star rating, it's obvious why and you can easily avoid them, too.
Thank God this VMM is written in Rust, otherwise I would be very skeptical. I don't care about features or purpose or technical advantages, give me Rust or give me death.
What's neat about the tracks is that Mattel had a variety of toy lines compatible with them. They marketed a Hot Wheels variant called Sizzlers that had a tiny motor inside, powered by a small nickel-cadmium battery. You charged it up with a battery-powered charger called the "Juice Machine" (sold separately) and the motor would make the car go. There was also a line of electric trains called "Hotline" that would run on the orange tracks; these were also charged with the Juice Machine.

My nephew ended up getting all my Hot Wheels tracks, and yes, they were forward compatible with new tracks and with all his 1:64 cars. When he was four he would stage elaborate crash scenarios on them, which he called "challenges". I would talk to him in the voice of the Homestar Runner character Stinkoman (an alternate, anime version of Strong Bad), e.g. "That was an exciting challenge! I was excited by the challenge!" Whenever he was playing with his Hot Wheels and I was around, he would exhort me to "do the challenge voice again!"
The obvious things is a tiny RTOS with enough of an ereader buffer to keep 5 screens (random number - maybe even the full boot). press the button the RTOS boots and flips the page almost instantly, then it boot linux in a VM to add more screens to the buffer, and/or take over the screen. Linux would have to be aware it is running in an RTOS like that so it can take over where you left off in the boot.
No, a terror attack is an attack that create a fear amongst noncombatants in order to push political objectives.

Easy example:
Attacking a hospital that healed an enemy combatant is a terror attack, even if you missile is very precise and only kill the combatant and people sharing his room. You didn't aim for civilians, but your goal with this attack is to coerce civilians (doctors and nurses here) into refusing to heal combatant again, using fear. That's the definition.

No it doesn't? This has nothing to do with memory safety. Its a logical error, which Rust physically cannot prevent.

Most Americans are not opposed to having immigration laws. The disagreements come from whether those laws are fair and the way “illegal immigration” is used as a bogeymonster by racists. For example, when Trump and Vance were doing the “Haitians are eating cats!!!” thing recently, note how often their supporters would throw the “illegal” term around even for people who are here legally. Their concerns were quite transparently not about immigration per se but the ethnicity of the immigrants.

That controls the general immigration policy debate, too. American employers in key industries like construction depend on immigrants for cheap labor, and the unwillingness to provide a legal path for those workers guarantees that people will keep taking huge risks to come here illegally because the conditions in their home countries are even worse. I would highly recommend reading this article: note both the former cop accurately stating that you can’t arrest your way out of a market imbalance and the lack of reception for the proposals from the construction company owner trying to have a legal path for workers. These people aren’t dangerous, they’re working hard and supporting families, but they’re brown and speak Spanish so we don’t respect them and businesses love to have workers who can’t complain about mistreatment.

That problem can be fixed through careful fine-tuning, at the cost of losing some generality because the model is punished for drawing bad fingers. This new method outlined in the paper operates in a highly spatially-compressed latent space, but with more channels than previous models, so each latent pixel has 2x the information content than Flux and 8x the content of SDXL. I do wonder whether the high spatial compression means that high resolution features like fingers will be messed up. On the other hand, the higher channel count in the latent space gives the model more detail per pixel to work with… I guess we’ll just have to see.
It's only Kaleido that halves the resolution of colored content. The RM Pro is Gallery 3 and offers full-resolution color.

If you're frantically searching for a second driver, you can add the explosion of iPhone sales on top of this. That's it. Anything else is a minor feedback loop that was attempting to latch onto the rocket growth levels of new Facebook users.

> Palantir’s clients also include the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal agency who rely on Palantir’s products for their ethnic cleansing..."

ICE does ethnic cleansing? That sounds like an outrageous claim.

Examples of ethnic cleansing includes the Turkish massacre of Armenians during WWI, the forced displacement and mass killings in former Yugoslavia and Rwanda in the 90s, the Novia Scotia colonial government's removal of the French Catholic Acadian population, the Amhara security forces treatment of Tigrayans in Ethiopia, and of course the one that its perpetrators euphemistically called the Final Solution.

How, exactly, is ICE doing anything remotely like this?
If it were true, surely it would be in the headlines and surely people would protest it harder than what is happening elsewhere in the world today?

Dunno. The only programming rule of 3 I know is that, in a C++ class, you provide a destructor, a copy constructor, and an assignment operator. But that doesn't fit either, because it's not really algebra, and every grandma certainly does not know it, and it doesn't fit in a Lisp article anyway.
Yes completely.

I have both an old Kindle Paperwhite 2nd Gen I think and a Kobo Clara.

The kindle 'lives' in the car and the Kobo at home so I always have something to read.

I use Calibre to sync to both.

Rather than directly accessing Amazon from the Kindle I download bought books to my PC then strip the DRM - so I can read the same book on both the Clara and Kindle.

See: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools

I'd say that the initial awkwardness is from deliberately not connecting the Kobo or Kindle to the internet to stop them from 'phoning home' when you set them up. The Kindle is easy - just don't connect it, the Kobo seems to insist but there's a simple step-by-step to bypass the enforced sign up on the Clara I use.

See: https://yingtongli.me/blog/2018/07/30/kobo-rego.html - basically SQL commands.

and you can get firmware updates for the Kobo devices via

https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

and they are easy to apply - drag / drop.

I don't get books from Kobo's site as it used to be hard if not impossible to strip the DRM from them - which meant I couldn't read them on my Kindle.

Hope that helps.

I had this in the U.S. and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. My parents signed me up for homeschool every year, but I still did public school. As a result, I just did whatever classes I wanted. Junior year, I realized that I'd have to drop all my fun classes and just do core for the last year and a half to graduate. Decided instead to not graduate and just find books on different topics from the library. Ended up with:
- Huckleberry Finn
- a deep History book on Roman Britain
- a nonfiction coffee table book on space
- an intro to physics workbook
- a Spanish book
- a book on governments around the world

As it happened, I worked through 4 big space books and realized that I was really passionate about space. When I started college it was easy to plan my direction and be motivated because I knew the area I wanted to work in.

We also offer persistence via localStorage and sessionStorage, so OPFS is not (for small databases) required for persistence.
