I waited a full 9 months for my uconsole. They pitch it as a fantasy product, and I think that's fair. These are products with no target application. A standard MBA will suffice for all the specialized applications with the same weight and better screen using USB dongles. Maybe not 4G but who pays for service to run those modules rather than hotspot to a phone anyway?
Sincerely asking... help me connect the dots there? Suppose Google is broken up into separate businesses, one for search and one for ads. Is the idea that the search side would have no incentive to show hotel search results on a map? I'm not seeing the connection between the breakup proposal and the features discussed in the post.
This is very close to the subject of the article. In the following quotation, "consortia" means (I think) globs of algae:

> After comparing the experimental pyrolysis breakdown products, which were able to be converted to biomass using a consortia, it was hypothesized that equivalent chemicals found on asteroids could also be converted to biomass with the same nutritional content as the pyrolyzed products. This study is a mathematical exercise that explores the potential food yield that could be produced from these methodologies.
Good thing I didn't make that argument :)

You're talking about how YC sees it.

I was talking about how it affects things from the companies's point of view when YC does that.

As such, so far as I can see our actual statements about the upshot of the situation are probably both correct :)
My recent experience with SO is it makes you jumo through stupid hoops. If there is a question people want answered, with people who want to answer it, then surely this is on topic.

I once asked for recommendations for a message queue framework given some requirements. The question was closed as off topic within minutes, apparently asking for the right programming framework is verboten.

To me moderation is about removing actively harmful / unhelpful content. SO moderation feels like a chivalric order dedicated to upholding some half-sane, half-insane rules they made up for themselves.

theZuck can do it just as well. Bezos was/is pretty good about it. After Amazon, he's still doing things like suing the gov't for not awarding his company contracts for missions he cannot achieve yet.

There is a difference between your sleep pattern affecting important aspects of your life and your sleep pattern not following a published metric.

I mean if insomnia is causing you to fall asleep while driving see a doctor. If worrying about insomnia is the most salient effect, not worrying is an option. Unless you need a hobby, and some people do.

Do you really think it's not useful at all to know you can protect your health proactively with one classification system of UPFs, that is deemed a bit extreme?

Or is it possible you're coming from a place of motivated reasoning? If you've got a worldview that deems your own food choices "healthy", but they're not on the Nova classification list, that doesn't automatically mean your own food choices aren't healthy, they're just not known to be healthy within one of many frameworks.

Instead of tearing down what we know works because it doesn't include the foods you deem healthy, why not advocate for more research into the foods in question specifically?
The avoidance of factory food is part of the point. GP is invoking Michael Pollan from the Omnivore's Dillema, among others. By 'Food', Pollan specifically means to exclude the sorts of chemical-engineered vague nutrient simacrula you're talking about.
Thanks! Let me know if you try it out and have any suggestions
Likewise breakfast yogurt could be either yoplait “yogurt” or plain unsweetened actual yogurt, or anything in between.

One is basically gelatinized sugar and the other is pretty healthy. If one’s classification doesn’t easily distinguish those two, that’s absurd.

It does not help consumers to have outside parties run roughshod over businesses. Regulations are necessary, but to be effective, they must be measured, in both senses of the word. To be implemented carefully, they must be subject to criticism, even by the party being regulated.

The Slime Mold Time Mold article is maybe an interesting starting point, but really not great analysis... see this thorough rebuttal around the Lithium stuff that has not been responded to: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/7iAABhWpcGeP5e6SB/it-s-proba...

TBH a lot of the discourse around this annoys me because it ignores sort of fundamental obvious stuff like food/snacks got way tastier, access to unhealthier food is higher, we live a way more sedentary lifestyle, takeout got more affordable, studies show that people overall consume more calories from unhealthier sources, you can go to the grocery store and see you should basically avoid much of the food there, food spikes your glucose higher, more artificial ingredients, switch from fat to sugar, more processed ingredients, etc. and yet everyone says "well it can't just be that" because XYZ specific study of some quality and timeframe took one of those axis in some degree of isolation and showed that _maybe_ it's not that specific thing only. Kind of a missing the forest for the common sense trees aspect. Obviously we don't understand the whole picture of obesity, but there's a degree of denial around common sense health stuff that's really weird in the kind of "rationalists try to figure out obesity" writing. I really think we should work more from a place of "you don't see people who do moderately intense exercise regularly and eat healthily being overweight/obese" as a baseline...
Can you please give your reference for that definitive statement. And what are 'nutritional studies'? Why wouldn't they include the research that led to the list of nutrient recommendations issued by USDA and similar publications in the UK, Norway, France, Australia and many other countries. No conclusions from them? I think there are. There is a truly vast literature on subjects nutritional so it's vital to be very specific.

Separately, when using the term 'ultraprocessed' we should be precise about the processes used. There are many different ones with undoubtedly different effects to different degrees on the nutrients therein.
> I highly doubt these extra sweetened breakfast cereals are a net positive for health.

You can't really evaluate this outside of a metabolic context. That goes for a lot of things, but you're a lot more likely to burn the sugar more or less immediately early in the morning, particularly before a workout.

Sugar is a necessary nutrient (i.e. healthy by any sane meaning of the word, if such a meaning exists) and we've gone much too far in demonizing it.
No the idea would be that the search would lose its ability to be a monopoly because Chrome + Search + Maps + Android... would stop artificially propping it up in the market. There would be many search engines and the ability for one to drastically impact other industries with UI changes would go away.
I have to say it's confusing as hell that there's ANOTHER nonfiction book titled "The Best of All Possible Worlds", also about Leibniz, but centered on his friendships with other intellectuals (by Nadler). This seems close enough that people will get them mixed up when searching and ordering.

We will see signs over the next Presidential term. And frankly, some from the current one.

And we have a couple generations, maybe a few --probably a few, some of age and ready to take the reigns of governance, who feel the US has things to answer for.

Whether they will act is another discussion.

A diminished US credence is a logical consequence of our policy choices.

A big one was actually 9/11. We were a different people before that time. The change has been brutal for those of us able to hold on to enough to see it for what it is.

We were handed a genuine opportunity to actually lead the free world, and that meant more then to more people, but I digress.

We, and by that I mean our government we chose to lead, and our inaction about it all, squandered that opportunity to pursue a war of choice for oil while at the same time abusing legitimate shock and awe for the purpose of passing surveillance legislation haunting us to this day. Among other things.

We lost serious credence then. Most of the world was anxious to see us walk our talk in the face of terror and we just didn't.

Now, there are many events, governments toppled, resources secured, business moved or changed, and more that all holds similar potential.

I am not saying we will be held to account on all that today. Of course not!

But, I am saying what we do, the attitudes we hold dear actually do really matter to a whole lot of people who may or may not be inclined to act on it.

There is our credence and reputable nature as seen by our own people, other nations and their leaders and people, and finally by elite people, essentially able to accumulate such wealth and power as to be ungovernable, free in the most basic of ways.

These will all play out in subtle ways. One will need a serious stretch of time to see a meaningful impact.

Some excerpts from the FAQ:

How long do you keep ar­ti­cles un­read?
Un­read ar­ti­cles are kept for­ever. Al­though there is a limit of 500 to­tal (both read and un­read) ar­ti­cles per feed.
How often feeds are up­dated?
Re­fresh rate de­pends on the time of the last ar­ti­cle in feed: few hours ago—each 15–45 min­utes, less than a week—each 1–2 hours, less than a month—each 2–3 hours and 3+ hours for oth­ers. Feeds that sup­port WebSub are up­dated in re­al­time.
Do you sup­port pass­word pro­tected feeds?
Yes, feeds with HTTP ba­sic ac­cess au­then­ti­ca­tion are sup­ported.
How many feeds I can sub­scribe to?
You can sub­scribe or im­port up to 3000 feeds.

I do not work in a functional language, but these ideas have helped me a lot anyway. The only idea here that I find less directly applicable outside purely functional languages is the "Errors as values [instead of exceptions]" one.

On the surface, it makes complete sense, the non-locality of exceptions make them hard to reason about for the same reasons that GOTO is hard to reason about, and representing failure modes by values completely eliminates this non-locality. And in purely functional languages, that's the end of the story. But in imperative languages, we can do something like this:

def my_effectful_function():
if the_thing_is_bad:
# do the failure thing
raise Exception
# or
return Failure()
return Success()

and a client of this function might do something like this:

def client_function():
...
my_effectful_function()
...

and completely ignore the failure case. Now, ignoring the failure is possible with both the exception and the failure value, but in the case of the failure value, it's much more likely to go unnoticed. The exception version is much more in line with the "let it crash" philosophy of Erlang and Elixir, and I'm not sure if the benefits of locality outweigh those of the "let it crash" philosophy.

Have any imperative folks here successfully used the "errors as values" idea?

The Israeli state isn't deliberately targeting the Strip's ethnic Palestinian population for eradication.

Total eradication, no.

It just wants to see it the resident population vastly reduced. And what it is deliberately doing is creating conditions favorable to this outcome, which it refers to as "voluntary transfer":

Yea, because we have a completely ass-backwards way of funding it.

Not getting into how we define what are valid complaints vs invalid, because that's besides the point.

You'd find it exhausting. People similarly find the race and gender preoccupation exhausting. Your justification for the different treatment seems to be "for these categories, people are obligated to not find them exhausting, but not for other categories." But that's not well-motivated.

Just kidding, no that's not the problem. The problem is processing destroys/alter many molecules we do not even know about or know it's full "purpose"/role in nutrition and digestion. The commonly talked about vitamins and RDA and such are just the bare minimum so a broad population does not get sick, but does not mean optimum health for a given individual.

Cf. eating 10mg of iron in a steak, readily bioavailable vs eating 10mg of iron from cereal. One is bound in easily digestible compounds, the other is iron shavings or rust.

medicare.gov has an estimator in its plan comparisons. You put in your prescription drugs and it tells you how much it will cost for the year for different part D (drug coverage) or part C (medicare advantage + prescription drug coverage) plans.

Do no use it. It's always wrong. It can completely mess up your whole year. I once picked the cheapest advantage plan based on that and it was completely incorrect, i ended up paying outrageous prices.

You have to actually look up what each plan says in its terms (what tier is my drug and how much do i pay for that tier) and calculate a cost for the year. You can find negotiated prices for the pharmacy / company pairing at q1medicare.com. Or you can call the sales department of the different advantage or part D plans.

If you have a bug that acts different on JSC than V8 or vice versa that's not necessarily a bug in your code. It maybe implies that your code is doing something wrong and should take a more web platform "standard" approach. It generally implies that you are relying on browser specifics that you'd likely be better off testing directly in those browsers in functional/integration tests.

The point about saying "those aren't unit tests" is that it is a "wrong tool for the wrong job" problem. Of course I don't expect Node or Bun to act like any specific browser. The things I want to test in Node or Bun are "universals" that should work in any JS environment, no matter what. If I need to catch V8-specific bugs or JSC-specific bugs, I want to use a smarter integration testing tool like Cypress or Playwright for that, not slow down my unit test suite trying to make a unit test harness pretend to be browsers.
