Sugar yes, but cooking oils and shorteners are used in every food culture in the world. Probably not the issue if you think about it for more than 10 seconds.

I don't think the appointment of a medical quack is going to be good for anyone, despite any silver lining you might grasp at straws for. We need science-based medical advocates that follow the evidence, not undisciplined slobs.
You literally started by calling them scummy. That is an implicit demand for change.
Considering:

- a century ago a greater percentage of people were "normal" weight

- human physiology has not changed much over the past century

- our current definitions of overweight/obese correlate with negative health outcomes

I think the classification is largely correct even if you can haggle over some of the smaller details.

I don't think it is tricky at all. The number of people who are a bad fit for BMI is small percentage of the general population.

The tricky part is getting people to understand bell curves, standard deviations, and outliers when explaining why a policy is the way it is.

No, defamation is illegal. Me suing you for lying and directly causing me financial harm is not illegal.

They've gotten a lot of money on account of the fact their families were victims of a tragedy. I'm assuming they don't need more money because they literally turned down a few hundred thousand dollars from Jones.

Also, this "what are you talking about?" BS needs to stop. You know what I'm talking about, or at least you can assume. Don't pretend like what I'm saying is so outrageous and unbelievable. You can respond without being annoying, please and thank you.

Typically logistics matters far more for a war of attrition and the US is still one of the best at that. Moreover what are we even talking about—an offensive war against the US? Our geographical position makes that unrealistic.
> they seem to be the only weapons to counter this epidemic

Surely we haven’t realized the full potential of health behaviour change and healthy default choices at scale. That class of interventions is considerably cheaper and more immune to trade disputes than GLP-1 agonists. But also deeply unprofitable for the pharmaceutical and processed food industries.
> Why do people also focus on the fringe science of HFCS and seed oils?

I think both are easy to see examples of ingredients that seem out of place from what our bodies have evolved to eat for millenia.

When you read about how things like canola oil (i.e., rapeseed oil) are so high in erucic acid that they're toxic and must be extracted with hexane to make them edible, it's reasonable to question whether we should be eating them at all. Versus something like olive oil (literally just squeezed olives) or butter (milk from cow).

ASL (and sign language generally) and tactile sign are two different languages, and language types that are at least as different as verbal languages and seen/sign languages - an American deafblind person who uses tactile sign and meets someone who uses ASL isn't necessarily going to be able to communicate with them. The signs and underlying language structure (morphology/syntax/etc.) are all different. I wouldn't consider the existence of tactile sign to mean that sign language works in the dark because they're two different language types, but the terminology is confusing and I have a linguistics background so I don't know if the author was including tactile sign or not. I'd guess not since it's about teaching his daughter who is d/Deaf, not deafblind, and tactile sign isn't in much use outside of the deafblind community. d/Deaf and blind people don't use it much, I believe.
Is Spotify the New YouTube?
The point was that you shouldn't have to wait for some research to confirm what has actually been empirically proven health practices over generations. That can come when it comes.

A good example are practices from Yoga/Ayurveda/Qigong/Acupuncture etc. Their worldview, model of anatomy/physiology is very different than modern science but many of their techniques (not claiming all) do work even if we don't fully understand how as yet. That is why many Hospitals/Healthcare centers are adopting them for use in a controlled manner today.
How about novelty?

I’m not sure about “viral”, but the spilhaus ocean map is fascinating to me largely because of the novelty aspect.

You might as well add everything farmed, raised or processed to that list.

Appeals to nature don't work in nutrition [1]. We've been starving and malnourished since the Neolithic [2]. And almost everything in our food supplies we consider "natural" is engineered.

Yes, but a large component of worse health outcomes is due to bias on the part of healthcare workers.

Overweight people frequently have their problems ignored or downplayed, or given treatments for issues that they aren't experiencing, which leads to worse health outcomes.

I'm not denying that being overweight can be bad for one's health, just pointing out that when doctors provide worse treatment to a group of people that group has worse health outcomes and makes obesity more dangerous that it would be in a world without weight stigma.
> I can see how someone lugging lots of muscle mass around would want their own number

Healthy people with high BMI are not how they are by accident, they don't care about their BMI because they know why it's high and they know it's not an issue
Why? Because there is no strong evidence that supports HFCS and seed oils contribute to the obesity epidemic but there is loads of evidence that poorer outcomes are coming from the loads of processed foods filled with hidden sugar (of any kind) and salt.

Its about focusing your energy. You have populations eating loads of sugar and salt but focusing on a tail risk, HFCS and seed oils. Most of the seed oil science is fringe though I am sure there is some extreme tail risk. Same with HFCS. Its more worth the time focusing on what really matters, its calories, sugar and salt. Those are no easy task either.
I don't understand why when it comes to weight critical thinking goes out the door. People always point to these things and say weight causes them, but no one ever considers these things may actually lead to people gaining weight. I say this as a person who has struggled with weight their whole life. I've spent 40 years having every issue dismissed by doctors with a "you just need to lose weight," while I sit at a dinner table with friends and family eating significantly less than everyone and still gaining weight. It's like people are so committed to the idea of weight gain being a moral failing, they won't consider for even a minute that people are gaining weight for other reasons.

In a crash with a pedestrian I don't see how having greater momentum would make much difference compared to an ICE car. In both cases the mass of the car is so much more than the mass of the pedestrian that the difference in what they do to the pedestrian should be small.

For example, an ICE Ford F-150 that weighs 4500 pounds hitting a 200 pound pedestrian at 50 mph would nearly instantly accelerate that pedestrian to 47.9 mph.

Replace that ICE F-150 with a 6500 F-150 Lightning and the pedestrian gets nearly instantly accelerated to 48.5 mph.

Similarly, a 3800 pound ICE Ford Mustang would accelerate them to 47.5, whereas a 4800 pound EV Mustang would accelerate them to 48.0.

For a 100 pound pedestrian, it would be 48.9 mph and 49.2 mph for the ICE and EV F-150 respectively. For the ICE and EV Mustang it would be 48.7 mph and 49.0 mph respectively.

Low speed collisions are also similar. At 10 mph the ICE and EV Mustangs accelerate the 100 pound pedestrian to 9.7 mph and 9.8 mph respectively, and the 200 pound pedestrian to
9.5 mph and 9.6 mph respectively.

For the both the ICE and EV F-150 the 100 pound pedestrian accelerates to 9.8 mph (there is a difference, but it doesn't show up at the precision I'm using). For the 200 pound pedestrian it is 9.6 mph for the ICE and 9.7 mph for the EV.
This is the apples to apples version. Perhaps might be more accurate to say that when detecting a benchmark attempt the model tries the prompt 3 times with different seeds then picks the best answer, otherwise it just zero-shots the prompt in everyday use.

I say this because the be test still uses the same hardware (model) but changed the way it behaved by running emissions friendly parameters ( a different execution framework) that wouldn’t have been used in everyday driving, where fuel efficiency and performance optimized parameters were used instead.

What I’d like to know is if it actually was unethical or not. The overall carbon footprint of the lower fuel consumption setting, with fuel manufacturing and distribution factored in, might easily have been more impactful than the emissions model, which typically does not factor in fuel consumed.

"Walter Cicack, an attorney for First United American Companies, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez that Murray changed the auction process only days before, deciding not to hold a round Wednesday where parties could outbid each other. Sealed bids were submitted last week, and the trustee chose only from those, Cicack said."

"“We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened,” he said. “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”

An exact date of next week’s hearing was not immediately set.

After the hearing, Jones said on his show that he thought the auction was unfairly rigged and expressed optimism that the judge would nullify the sale."
I am not a lawyer and don’t know the relevant laws or legal precedent, but what the OP is describing is very different that what Apple got in trouble for.

> Specifically, the department’s investigation found that Apple did not advertise positions Apple sought to fill through the PERM program on its external job website, even though its standard practice was to post other job positions on this website. It also required all PERM position applicants to mail paper applications, even though the company permitted electronic applications for other positions. In some instances, Apple did not consider certain applications for PERM positions from Apple employees if those applications were submitted electronically, as opposed to paper applications submitted through the mail. These less effective recruitment procedures nearly always resulted in few or no applications to PERM positions from applicants whose permission to work does not expire.
Yes. You can set yourself `always online`, or `always offline`, or `scheduled`. In the last one, you specify hours in the day (e.g. 9am-5pm), and sync with external calendar (currently Google Calendar) which marks you as offline when you're busy.

Take that with a huge grain of salt, but I've read recently that Hitler was thinking of making Oxford Britain's capital if the German invasion would have successfully happened, so because of that he didn't bomb it. I cannot remember the exact sources for that.

On firmer ground when it comes to sources, I'm now reading E. H. Carr's Conditions of Peace [1] (written in 1942, so during WW2) and at some point he was also suggesting moving UK's capital from London further to the North, he was thinking somewhere in Midlands, if I remember right. It turns out that even back then some of the British people were fully aware of London's negative pull caused by its oversize.

Even if you don't, as any DIY project, it is still going to cost you more money than the part list would suggest. Mostly because of tooling.

For 3D printing stuff, you obviously need a 3D printer, these aren't free, the maintenance isn't free, the space where you are going to put it isn't free. There are also the basic tools: screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, drill, soldering iron, etc... Also missing are consumables like glue, solder, grease, cleaning agents, etc... and also electricity and gas for shopping. You are also generally expected to have a proper computer.

Sometimes jellybean parts like screws, wires, resistors, etc... are priced, but it is often not the case, as it is difficult to price 2 screws when you can't buy less than 100.

Not the case here but the worst is when a part list include significant parts you are supposed to be salvaged from something you already have. No, I don't have the right broken appliance in my garage and no one has conveniently dropped one in the closest dumpster. So please price it as if I had to buy it.

Of course, someone who is into building stuff most likely have a lot of that already, or maybe is part of a makerspace, but it is unfair to compare what represents a significant investment in time and money to just buying a complete product on Amazon with free shipping and a warranty.

Warranty is another thing to consider, because when something goes wrong with an off the shelf product, if you bought it through a reputable seller (Amazon qualifies), you can normally return it free of charge. If you screw up on your DIY build, which is very common (failed print, bad cut, magic smoke, lose small parts, ...), you get to fix it on your own, savvy people buy spares for that reason, again, not priced in.

Setting a cookie isn't farming personal data.

You can configure your web browser to only send first-party cookies back and never set others. Or configure a subset of domains.

If you're worried about it you should be doing that anyway, since the cookies could be set despite the pop-up (or some websites might ignore the consent pop-up requirement entirely).
Maybe in the near future we could have an AI system that:

- Connects to HDMI

- Monitors any text that's on the screen

- Checks that the user is watching the screen (or at least is at the computer)

- Checks that any changes committed into the Git repository have been at least on the user's screen for X seconds, while they were sitting near the computer.
So this is just another case of superstitions I mean Best Practices. Some belief gets spread around in the form of "an authority told me so", and then never goes away because there's no incentive to get rid of it.

Passwords in the age of smartphones are just excruciating - all too often, there's no way to "show password" as you type it on a virtual keyboard with tiny keys, large fingertips, and an unsteady base (your non-dominant hand). You are required to use passwords that satisfy rules intended to enforce high entropy, but are equally Best Practices with no data behind them. To set those high entropy passwords, using difficult ergonomics, you have to fingertip type the same string of characters twice.

The dots or asterisks for password input is another relic of a bygone day, when CRTs with a wide viewing angle stayed at a substantial distance from an obscuring bodypart, like a head or chest. Fingertip typing it twice is an artifact of the Best Practice that requires strings with Best Practice elaborate rules. The difficult ergonomics are not a Best Practice but instead enforced by euclidean geometry and how big something can be before it doesn't fit in a pocket.

At this point, we can realize that password format policies and data entry are just a pile of unsupported superstitions. The bad ergonomics synergetically reinforces the unsupported superstitions.
I would say that "humans have to tokenize" is almost precisely the opposite of how human intelligence works.

We build layered, non-nested gestalts out of real time analog inputs. As a small example, the meaning of a sentence said with the same precise rhythm and intonation can be meaningfully changed by a gesture made while saying it. That can't be tokenized, and that isn't what's happening.
Hey HN,

I’m Ayman, a developer passionate about making digital tools that matter. I launched AI Writa, a tool designed to simplify content creation. It’s built to help your content stand out.

It’s been awesome seeing how it helps users focus more on creative strategies and less on the grind of writing. If you are into creating or managing content, I think it could really help you out.

Curious to hear any thoughts or feedback you might have!

Realistically there's no benefit to this. Why should the government(s) have to be on social media at all? They're just looking for a broadcast channel, not crowd feedback or interaction, especially not ownership of that public reaction/interaction.

Twitter started as basically just exactly that. (Formerly) a democratized way for anyone to broadcast anything to the world for others to find. Measuring reach of the message became useful when you're trying to become a growing voice, but governments aren't. Replies and replies to replies are primarily people broadcasting their own separate messages, just with context for the topic. The back and forth becomes a public discussion (as in the "public at large"). But governments don't care about that, they're just broadcasting their messages somewhere people can find them. It's purely a convenience to the public if they post them in a forum that facilitates easy authoritative reference, but that could just as easily be blog posts on their own website.

While they do both often express a reticent emotional state, the cause of that state is different: for 'weary', it is exhaustion from past events, while for 'wary', the concern is to avoid undesirable events in the future.

Yea, my dad died of something similar - was morbidly obese among a lot of other problems towards the end of his life, they attributed a lot of those problems solely to his weight, but it turned out he had severe obstructive sleep apnea that was never treated. Had it been, I think his outcome would have been a little bit different. he was never even tested. We'd been telling him for years to get it looked at but his doctor convinced him the issue was weight.
But following the law is itself a load bearing aspect of the social contract. Violating building codes, for example, might not cause immediate harm if it's competent but unusual, yet it's important that people follow it just because you don't want arbitrariness in matters of safety. The objective ruleset itself is a value beyond the rules themselves, if the rules are sensible and in accordance with deeper values, which of course they sometimes aren't, in which case we value civil disobedience and activism.
Remember that in other fields like medicine, finance, academia, and law, getting in involves 5+ years of hoop jumping and commitment signaling that have nothing to do with the final job.

Does the hexane being used have anything to do with erucic acid? We have bred the plant to be low in erucic acid already. Hexane is used in the processing as a way to maximize extraction. Maybe I am wrong.

Regardless that is a tail risk when thinking about the general population.
