Cool story, but I wish this were published into the public domain online.

It's kind of weird that a 150-year-old slave narrative is being sold by a University press.

At any rate, here's the original text from the Australian paper: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/rendition/nla.news-articl...
interesting, will check it out
That's (one reason) why postal codes exist. Dunno about Poland, but town names here are not unique to begin with.
> sweetened drinks and processed meats, were associated with a higher risk of heart disease, others, like breakfast cereals, bread and yogurt, were instead linked to lower risks for cardiovascular disease.

I highly doubt these extra sweetened breakfast cereals are a net positive for health. So perhaps they should be more specific when it comes to mentioning breakfast cereals.
> Yes there are exceptions to this, people going out of their way to fan sub shows and such,

I agree that the well known works are usually the better productions, but that detail is wrong. Crunchyroll puts out almost everything that's currently being released, including complete nonsense like reincarnated as a vending machine

And while I'd agree that most Japanese authors seem to have gigantic pride for their culture, it does get old because it's become such a trope to introduce Japanese culture/food as the best thing ever created...

I mean I'm more likely to watch an anime then the woke garbage the west is currently producing, but I think the main reason is because our own productions have so massively dropped in quality.

There just hasn't been another series such as Dexter, Breaking Bad etc in over 10 yrs now... If there were, I think anime would be a lot less relevant right now.
Is it compatible with the existing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust ?

No. It is not compatible.
I think this is the wrong approach. Establishing a law will just give them something to point you that they followed what was required instead of have doing what was necessary for their systems.

Instead of HIPPA violations they should start enforcing it at the maximum levels it allows by putting executives in jail over it (which HIPPA currently allows for). This will cause useful security policies to be implemented instead of the box checking nonsense we get now.
Show HN: We Built "Wikipedia Link Previews" for YouTube Videos
Hey HN! I’m excited to share Strawberry, Chrome extension that provides instant summaries of YouTube videos when you hover over thumbnails—think “Wikipedia link previews” but for YouTube.

I love YouTube—it’s genuinely enriched my life over the years. But I often find myself getting pulled into endless rabbit holes due to catchy thumbnails. So I made Strawberry to help navigate YouTube more mindfully.

Right now we have 3 features:

- Hover any thumbnail for a summary (including Homepage, Search, Suggested vids, Shorts)

- Detailed video summaries

- Chat with videos

Eager to hear your thoughts, and especially how it could be more useful for you!
there is a very real possibility that Western Europe gets dragged into that conflict, and Putin has said, unequivocally, that he is at war with the West.

Hi everyone, the author of the blog here. I'm glad to see the interest here on this piece!

I have slides that detail the problem setup and the mathematics, as well as a consideration of three-dimensional onions, here: https://drspoulsen.github.io/Onion_Marp/index.html

I have submitted a formal write-up of the details of the problem and the solution to a recreational mathematics journal.

I'm also happy to answer any questions about this!

To me it looks like it could be something of a plucebo effect. Like they are bad for us because we expect them to be bad. Minucebo effect?

Very true, someone that has time to make a meal from scratch is clearly not stressed, has money and time. Maybe not all, but from a category view, there are so many factors on those two different worlds that affect health, that focusing on just food is crazy.
The article name is "Scientists are learning why ultra-processed foods are bad for you", the opposite of this thread's title.

Everyone's ignoring the elephant in the room: fiber.

Fiber locks up calories and makes the body miss a lot of them, or absorb them later in the digestion process. If we reduce the word "processed" to a single action, it's removing fiber. It's turning wheat berries into flour. It's ripping off rice husks to make white rice. It's crushing nutritious apples and oranges into sugar water.

Western countries use calories as a metric, and it's a very hackable metric. If I eat 1000 calories of whole oats, a lot of those calories are passing through my body. If I turn those whole oats into oatmeal, fewer are. If I'm McDonald's I'll pulverize them to get all 1000 calories into my health-conscious deluded customer's bloodstream, so they buy more food from me.

Of course you can add 100g of Metamucil fiber to a processed meal, but the original fiber's function was to lock in the sugar, which the new stuff can no longer do. So it doesn't help.

Why are processed foods bad for you? Follow the fiber.
This is a great point and one that I think would change many minds.

If you say "more calories" or "hyperpalatable", many people will think "I can control that with portion control - I just won't binge them."

But if you say "it changes the physical form of the food" or "it has contaminants in it," it's clear that no amount of portion control can fix that.

I can't decide if this sounds more like a startup idea or a proposal from the coal lobby.
I haven't found more info, but this claim sounds exaggerated, I don’t understand why with 3 cores, instead of 1, it can’t be attacked?

> The developers said the new MCU – about the size of a US quarter – had three cores rather than one, allowing two to function normally if one was attacked, according to the report
This would encompass eggs and is leaving out what might be key components (engineered by food scientists and produced in factory)

Use Maven profiles:

* compile only

* compile/test only

* compile/install jar only, skip source/javadoc packages

* checkstyle only

* static analysis only

* code coverage only

* Skip PGP (you DO check your artifact signatures, right?)

The beauty of this is you can create a corporate super pom that defines all of these for you and they can be inherited by every project in your org.

Finally, if you have a large multi-module project, run with -T2C to parallel-ize module builds. If your tests are written in a sane/safe manner: -DuseUnlimitedThreads=true -Dparallel=classes -DforkCount=2C will also give you a major boost.

We have a giant code base (500,000 SLOC) with 28 maven modules, and a full compile and install takes less 40 seconds with compile/install only. You often don't need to do a full build, but even with tests thats about 3 mins on a M3 Max.
What’s special about Japan in this context?
I support M4A for other reasons, but as of today the US governments(s) spend more on health care per citizen than many/most European countries with universal health care. A little more than a third of Americans are on Medicaid and/or Medicare. The scale is already there and the costs are already out of control.

I think the GP is right that the inefficiencies are baked in at every possible level. M4A makes people's lives easier, but it won't solve the cost problem. We're at a point where we need massive reform of the entire system, not just nationalization (or privatization, if you want to go that way), and there would be a lot of people unemployed (or suddenly asked to do a lot more work[1]) and a lot of pain re-aligning people's expectations around medical care.

[1] One example of this is the degree of specialization and division of labor that is just wasteful. A friend has a medical job where he is on-call to monitor a machine. He does nothing else. He rarely works more than a few hours a week. Another example: a family member needed an ultrasound. The doctor's office had an ultrasound. The doctor wanted an ultrasound. It was urgent. The ultrasound tech had recently quit. He ordered an ultrasound from an imaging center with a two-month wait time instead of simply doing a very easy ultrasound himself, which he would be the one required to interpret anyway. He wasn't busy either; he chatted about golf for almost a half-hour. In his mind, it was simply not his job. (Perhaps insurance also won't compensate doctors for performing ultrasounds, only techs. Who knows.)
I don't think I've ever read a company whinging so much about having to obey the law. Comes across like a petulant child.

My experience using built in node:test and other rapidly evolving things is frustration around getting improvements. I test one of my projects with the oldest supported NodeJS version, and simply can’t use node:test there because the old node:test in Node 18 is missing a lot of features. It’s similar to building for Apple’s platforms - great stuff happens every new major version, but there’s no way to use new libraries with older OS versions. Gotta wait for all your users (and yourself) to update your whole runtime to get those new features.

Maybe if you are on Node 23 and you absolutely have everything you need, then node:test is okay, but I DO NOT recommend it.
Who made up this word? Before 2022 it more or less doesn't exist (per Google Trends.)
Genuinely curious for all these follow up questions:

Is immutability exclusive to functional programming?

Is the ability to use data/values exclusive to functional programming?

Are monads exclusive to functional programming?

For discussions like this, how do we separate "it was done first in functional programming but can also be done in procedural programming" with "it cannot be followed outside of functional programming"?
Strong agree. The Nova classification is extremist and heavily useless. Yes if you come up with two classifications and one includes McDonalds burgers and the other doesn't you'll be able to show a health effect. Doesn't mean your categorisation is useful.
The U.S. already spends an immense amount on schools, healthcare, and infrastructure. Our problem is not the amount spent so much as the lack of results commensurate with the cost.
It sure seems to be that way with pure software products. I'd not be surprised if is the same with embedded software in things like cars if they can be easily updated.

Back in the days before home internet was common I worked at a place that developed software for personal computers. The software was sold in retail stores such as Egghead, CompUSA, etc on floppy or CD.

Management was very insistent on high software quality. If a bug got through that was bad enough that an update to existing customers was needed the only option, aside from the small number of customers who would be able to use a modem to download an update from a dial up BBS, would be for us to mail them a floppy or CD with the update.

Even minor bugs that could be easily worked around by the customer were bad, because we had no means of contacting our customers except by writing or calling those who had filled out and returned in the prepaid registration card that was in the box when they bought the software. Instead what would happen is they would call our toll free support line.

Remember, this was not a subscription service. It's a one time purchase. If someone needs a long support call to solve a problem that could easily wipe out all profit made on that customer and more.

This wasn't just about bugs. If they had trouble using some feature due to poor UI or inadequate documentation that also meant calls to the toll free support line and so management also was very insistent on clear, well written, comprehensive documentation.

Compare to today. Updates are easy, you can have FAQs and searchable support articles on your website, someone will make a Reddit group where your customers can help each other, there will be bloggers and YouTubers posting tricks and solutions that in the old days would have been in the manual, and no one expects everything to work in any given release.
There's currently a lot of DHMO in all of those foods, which can be quite dangerous for humans and has been a cause for numerous deaths in the World, including young children.
Simply not providing nutritional value would be neutral from health perspective. We are looking for something that provides negative effects, either direct (something toxic) or indirect (like causing us to eat more which causes obesity...).
Ultra-processed foods are broadly speaking foods that cannot be produced in a normal domestic or restaurant kitchen.
Dukeofdoom's original comment:
```
Don't they add food coloring from ground bugs sometimes. In case of sausage they add preservatives to make it last longer. Actual poison if you were just to eat a lot of it. Generally companies are liable if they make you sick right after eating their product. So they do everything they can to prevent that. Nobody is going to held liable if they give you cancer 10 years down the line. Super hard to prove. So not a worry for them. Backlash after the failed covid vaccine makes some reform more likely now.
```

My response:

Several food colorings (e.g. Red 40, Yellow 10) are synthetic dyes derived from crude oil and other petrochemicals.

At least here in the US, it seems many people believe that if it's available for sale, that means a government agency deemed it safe, neglecting to consider that what a government agency declares safe may not actually be safe. This happens routinely for a variety of reasons - corporate capture (big business teaming up with big government to screw over human beings), gross incompetence of government employees (who in turn, are nearly impossible to fire, even with cause), complex modes of unsafety (per- and poly-fluorinated substances are bioaccumulative and persistent, and the relationship they have with our health remains ambiguous), complete lack of awareness of the risk (in the last week or so, we just discovered chloronitramide anion exists in the water supply of about 1/3 of the USA, little is known about the health effects it has on mammals in general, let alone humans), etc.

Reality is complex. We are basically one step removed from cavemen still, and need to remain humble, curious, and intellectually honest about the sheer extent of that which we do not know. That's missing in so many people these days. I think more (but not all) people would benefit from undergoing an ego death and reintegration experience that so many others have found in psychedelics, which are nonaddictive and generally safer than legal drugs like alcohol and various combinations of amphetamines (ADHD medication).
Thanks Corey. Always nice to get the TL;DR from an authority on the subject.

Adherence to avoiding UPFs, by the current Nova classification, would lead to most people having to radically change their diets, assuming you actually follow the Nova classification of UPFs to a tee. And assuming they're already reasonably healthy, there would be no meaningful health benefits I suspect.

Indeed; at this point, a disk is just treated as a cache for speeding up the initial installation.
I've been to doctors that refuse to treat you if you don't want to go through insurance and pay cash upfront for this reason. If they name their real price insurance can (apparently) go after them.

I could understand maybe refusing if I don't have insurance to deal with rare but expensive complications but I do, I just know that it'll be a year long fight and I'll have to pay it all at the end anyway.

At a startup you can run your company on the communication tools provided in Google workspace. There's much more to this than calendar and email. Tagged comments for coordinating actions, using gdocs with meetings and transcription and summarization by Gemini, communal editing and sharing, the gdocs history, sheets and slides, backup and logging tools, domain management and more. If you use proton, you get Google workspace from 15 years ago, at best.
There’s a woman on YouTube that I watch sometimes who recreates popular sweets/snacks/desserts but using fresh ingredients and home friendly (usually) cooking techniques. What always blows me away is just how long is takes to make something like a Little Debbie Oatmeal cream pie from scratch.

If we as a species could no longer rely on industrialization to create junk foods and instead had to make them from scratch, we’d spend 100x as long making them as we do shoving them down our throats and therefore savor the few that we do make and likely eat less.

The subconscious power of availability and plenty on the human psyche is enormously underestimated.
That's pretty good. Though it should be balanced with avoiding factory made food.

I personally think non processed meat is good for you, but that's a minor point compared to ultra processed vs not really processed foods.

I once argued with med students that Oreos (which are vegan) are not healthier than a steak.

Absolutely crazy and tbh frightening that anyone (let alone med students!) would think Oreos are healthier than a steak.

The reasoning of course is that processing and sugar content don't matter as much as any level of saturated fat.
Living in the US, my takeaway is this:

Food manufacturers do not care if we stay healthy, but they're also not interested in harming us on purpose. Their goal is to maximize profit, which usually means cheapest ingredients with addictive properties produced as quickly as possible by low-cost labor.

But they also know this only works if the market allows it. If nobody bought their snack cakes (random example), they would stop making them. But their snack cakes are designed to make you want to eat the whole package and sold cheaper than an alternative like a healthy fruit and nut mix, making the consumer's choice almost a moot point since consumers tend to trade their own best interests for convenience and "saving" money.

And so, they give the market what it buys. Simple as.

But I do hate it. I have to put a stupid amount of effort into eating healthy because I don't have room for a garden and healthier alternatives are often more expensive. I can see why most people just reach for the snack cakes and call it done.

Process isolation is an absolute non-negotiable must for any seriously sized project (>50 developers) I’ve worked on
tl;dr is that "ultra-processed foods" are engineered to be more palatable and that tends to result in more caloric density.
Really? You can do that? How?
It's still a misleading term, so it would be good to talk about what the actual harm is, as to not confuse people. And it does confuse, since I vividly remember as a kid being confused by it, and it's important to have healthy habits from a young age. It always sounded a bit weird that food being "processed" means it's bad, so I didn't understand it really. And if you don't focus on the harm, but use terms like this, it's hard to say what is pseudoscience and what is actual science.
> though there's still huge controversies about 1) pictures by parents of their kids doing stuff like taking a bath

Is this a controversy in the US?

I am fine with people worrying about Zuckerberg or Sandar potentially watching their naked kids, but I guess that the angle is that the parents would be 'perverts' and not the surveillance state being a problem?
No, I think you're not being fair to the GP by trying to claim libertarian can be more moderate. Technically true, but not relevant. Ever heard the saying "All tax is theft"? I'm sure, like me, you've heard it all the time, because that is by far the most common form of libertarianism you will encounter.

Take a look here for example:

Would you rather have undefined initial values?
P.S. nobody asked but since you made it this far - the next big problem in this space is fast becoming, what else do we need to be able to build these "headless" or "outer loop" AI agents? Most frameworks do a bad job of handling any tool call that would be asynchronous or long running (imagine an agent calling a tool and having to hang for hours or days while waiting for a response from a human). Rewiring existing frameworks to support this is either hard or impossible, because you have to

1. fire the async request,
2. store the current context window somewhere,
3. catch a webhook,
4. map it back to the original agent/context,
5. append the webhook response to the context window,
6. resume execution with the updated context window.

I have some ideas but I'll save that one for another post :) Thanks again for reading!
If you just want to dip in then I can heartily recommend Wells’ short stories, of which he wrote a bunch. Standard Ebooks has a nice edition for free: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells/short-fiction
Generalization is the real issue here. You can't just say "processed" food is bad. There are tons of definitions and different forms of processing. It would be much better to look at individual ingredients. A good start would be to change the GRAS process. There's no real investigation being done on many food additives and the evidence many use for GRAS is flimsy at best.
