You're absolutely right it's dangerous. It's likely that I gave myself cancer by adopting this 'simplistic truth'.

A decade ago I read about the keto diet and thought "why not?". Lots of positive stories about dropping weight fast, getting mental clarity and starving cancer.

A few years later, I was diagnosed with a rare Leukaemia (with a distinctive BRAF mutation).
I was too young to have a cancer so I thought... maybe this keto thing is not so good after all?

Cue to several Pubmed rabbit holes, where I find studies suggesting that one of the ketones (acetoacetate) promotes tumor growth in BRAF-related cancers (melanoma, colorectal, hairy cell leukemia, and others).

Well, that was the moment I stopped doing stupid 'hacks' with my body and strictly adhere to the 'common sense diet' - ie eating like my grandpa did.

While I can't confirm 100% that my cancer was triggered by the keto diet, I have a strong suspicion it did.
So yeah, before going online and stating grandiose things like "cancer starve on ketones, they need glucose" let's all acknowledge that we humans know very little about what's going on with cancer, and the potential adaptations it can do.

This is... certainly something.

There are some parts that are useful without seeming too scummy - the bits on tone and how to actually write a good email, for instance. But the bulk of this is just an outright guide on how to spam.
Eh, I was with you until the wallet analogy. Returning somebody’s wallet is just a pure favor. The second email isn’t a favor really, it is still a pitch. It is a better pitch. But it is still a pitch.

The reason banana peels had so much mindshare in the late 1800s was that they were the only thing the rats wouldn't drag away and eat, so you'd see them everywhere. People weren't going to slip on pizza slices.
When cholera spread around the world, we did not pretend it was 1830 again, we started cleaning the water we drunk or we died. When AIDS spread around the world, we did not to back to boinking like we were flight attendants in the 1970s, we had to practice safer sex and be more careful about our partners for a long time or we died (these days there is PrEP). A friend lost a vaccinated parent to COVID in 2022, and has a vaccinated aunt in a wheelchair because of COVID complications.
I think if they can deliver 18a in 2025 and it is comparable to the competition they are going to be in a much better position. Intel dominated because their fabs were better. At some point they got complacent and stopped investing. Pat changed that and hopefully it continues. If Intel wants to succeed it has to have a comparable product at a comparable price to TSMC. There is more demand for leading edge chips than supply. Plenty of market share to go around if Intel can figure it out.

My wife was a French major in college and spent a year in Aix in the mid 80s. She didn't really enjoy the experience -- although her grammar and vocab were fine, she had enough of an accent that people treated her as an outsider.

On the way out of the country she stopped in Paris for a few days to take it in. She went into some shop and the proprietor asked my wife if she needed help. My wife replied asked about some clothes. The proprietor insulted my wife over her southern accent -- French southern, not US southern, and it made my wife's day. Someone in France finally thought she was french.

In terms of 3rd world corruption, this one is easy to solve. But the fact that it isn't solved is what makes it a 3rd world country. You put pressure on the low level corruption so it moves higher up the chain. In well functioning capitalized countries, the corruption happens at the corporate banking level. You can't have a well functioning economy without the smooth movement of goods and services.

> lithography process for every layer

It's not. They are similar process steps, deposition, etching, etc but they are applied at once to long deep holes and other staircases that intersect the many layers. The layer is an insulator or conductor (etc) which intersects an entire plane of these tubes. Equals one planar wire which addresses one whole plane of tube intersections.

So that's one of the problems in there: similar operations but applied in grossly different circumstances, but lots of unknowns and different ideas being thrown at the wall. And that's one of the opportunities: it's hard to tell how long this will work. Like, how many years of scaling this will produce.
I actually been in this exact scenario before. I and another friend were avidly into Hearthstone, and another third person was playing with an Hearthstone Cheat bot in an University study room. We asked to watch for a while.

After a while, some dread was setting in. We started asking questions:

* Why did it hover that card?

"To pretend it's human. The card has less than 10% playrate on that class"

* Did it... just spam the Well Met meme while going face?

"Of course. Because people do it"

* Wait it ropes the opponents?

"Yes. You can set it to rope back"

We kept seeing more and more behaviors. It would squelch noisy opponents. It would even tap the ground pretending to be a bored person. And then it hit me: 95% of Hearthstone players are bots. Every single human behavior that you could perhaps use to identify 'people', it faked.

I quit Hearthstone within that week.
If you believe definitions constituent to a hypothesis are ever orthogonal to it, this would be a mark in the ledger in favor of there being an overall decline in reasoning ability. By this logic, I can simply say “x is a responsible for a decline in y, as evident by the comparable measure of z” without ever having to define any of those variables and always be correct. Does that seem rational or useful to you?

When the Ukraine war started, there were drone sightings reported near the airport and some energy installations in Stockholm, Sweden. Then there suddenly were tons of sightings, everyone was talking about possible Russian drone operations. Many are still unexplained but a whole bunch turned out to be other things, birds, ambulance aircrafts. I think the consensus now is that there was just a few, non state, drone flights and the rest were just mass hysteria.

I believe they very explicitly said they pose no threat and also explicitly ruled out foreign entities and adversaries.

I think it's personality and experience.

Agreeableness and openness to new experiences are 2 of the 'Big 5' personality traits. Some people are very likely to see everything as an opportunity, assume positive intent, and want to give someone a chance. If one thing doesn't work out, it was one thing, and the next thing is completely different. I imagine cold emails work very very well with these people. Lots of these people exist.

I'm not on the same side of the spectrum for either of those traits. I usually see these things as a waste of time I didn't ask for. My own experience with sales people makes me distrustful of their intentions. If one thing doesn't work out, I think all the next things that look like it won't work either. Cold emails don't work for me; case studies, hands-off demos, etc. where I am researching you, I have approached you, and I feel like I am controlling the engagement with you, work better.

It’s often in bulk, but needn’t be to meet the definition of Unsolicited Commercial Email, aka spam.
You're quite right. And I never said otherwise. I'll reiterate and expand: a marriage of equals is just fundamentally not comparable to an economic exchange for sex work. Hence, stating as you did that

> If OnlyFans users were thinking straight they wouldn't be wasting money on a model who doesn't care about them to begin with.

>> You could say that about marriage as well. OnlyFans are quite cheap in a big picture.

You seem to be implying that marriage is a similar or at least comparable institution to being a sex worker. Which misses the point of being married so completely that... well I hardly know what to say. Good luck out there.

I'm not sure about that alternative. Once I ran out of science classes to take in-house my public school just sent me to college early and paid for the classes. This was 2004, not sure if that's a thing anymore.

The scam is that there's nothing at the end of the road. You get these students that are borderline suicidal because they absolutely must outperform their peers, but it's all just ladder climbing and performance for performance's sake. That takes a toll on a person. And for what? Nobody under that kind of pressure is capable of learning anything.

Then they get to college or industry and they have to work with their peers, or apply creativity in some way, but they can't do either of these things because they're either burned out or preoccupied with scoring points in a game that nobody else in the room is playing--or at least that has been my experience with the people who made me aware that they went to private school: too focused on value to be useful in achieving outcomes. Incapable of making the best of a situation that they feel they're too good for.

Admittedly, there may be people around me who came from that background and I just don't know. It's not like I question people on it. But if that's a blindness I have it's not one I can introspect my way out of. You don't know what you don't know. All I have is these anecdotes about folks who are a sort of walking ad for whatever prestigious rigmarole they managed to survive. Eager to establish some kind of pecking order wherever they go and not invited places because of it despite being otherwise pretty cool.

I don't know if charter schools do the same thing to people, but they appear to be trying--and they've found a way to make the rest of us pay for it despite it being exactly the opposite of the what we're ostensibly paying those taxes for.

> You don’t need to write boilerplate code to check that. If you use a strongly typed language like Python, you know it will throw an exception if the input is not number-like.

The whole point of tests is to ensure your code doesn't trigger runtime errors caused by contract breaches. You are not describing a solution, but the actual problem you mush avoid. It's baffling how you don't realize that.

> Have you often written this type of test?

If you believe this is a foreign concept to you, I don't know what else there is to say.

> What value do you feel it have given you??

Are you actually asking what's the value of not having your code throw exceptions because you write broken code such as passing JSON objects to square root functions?
I think we are on the same page. To clarify: if your goal is to be on stable ZFS AND non-EOL Linux kernel, then LTS kernel is usually the only option. There may be windows where there are non-LTS-non-EOL kernels supported, but non-LTS kernels go EOL very quickly, so those windows are fleeting.

This impacts distributions like NixOS in particular, which have a strict policy of removing EOL kernels.

This is about as declarative as the Pentagon will get on the matter
I don't want to pick on you personally (so I apologize if it feels that way), but I also don't want to leave this unresponded to when we've had to ask you so many times to stop breaking the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40910766).

I think most HN readers are glad that we ask users not to personally attack others (questioning whether they can read, calling them morons and rubes, telling them to grow up, that they should be ashamed, are out of touch with reality, and so on), —or that we ask commenters not to post that women are asking for too much, that European capital rightfully belongs to the United States, and so on.

Is that "moderation based entirely on tone, not content"? I don't think so; I think that distinction is unsupportable. But whether it is or not, it's clear that we can't have people attacking each other like this, and I'm pretty confident that the community agrees.

At one time, this was my product.. and oof, this one still hurts.

Section 5.1 of the OIDC spec says the standard claims can be in the ID token and/or at the Userinfo endpoint. Further, Section 2 says "ID Tokens MAY contain other Claims."

Unfortunately, one of the most common use cases for the ID token was to add someone's Groups, usually from AD. We had a number of customers with users who had a LOT of groups. I remember one where their users were in an average of 700 groups and one user had ~9000. These groups could be anything from the AD group created yesterday for a new app to that group from 15 years ago that no one wanted to delete just in case. This made for gigantic tokens.

Anyway, to address this scenario, someone at Okta came up with concept of the "fat ID token" and the "thin ID token". The "thin" would always come back with the access token on the inital request and the "fat" would only be available via the userinfo endpoint where we weren't limited by payload sizes.

So yeah, now you know and sorry about that.

Not "military" drones seems very very open to interpretation. Is DARPA Military? Or is military being used in a generic sense of the dictionary definition vs. the US government budgetary definition?

My assumption is these are US military drones.
Yes, that is the protocol when aircraft enter restricted airspace like next to military bases - which has been reported.

Besides training, intercepting aircraft is primarily what jets do. In terms of cost, it’s a lot less expensive to scramble jets than the alternative, that’s why that is the protocol for a number of situations including things as mundane as aircraft losing communications.

Here there has been significant reporting, so it would be a national security risk and national embarrassment for the Country if the military was unable to demonstrate air superiority when our territorial sovereignty is violated by drones.

Unless you’re familiar with different FAA and NORAD protocols than I am, which it doesn’t seem like you are, the most likely explanation is they are military craft and exercises.
> I mean if you do whatever you want and call it TDD (...)

If you know what is TDD then you wouldn't make mistakes such as believing each and every single unit of code must have a test. That's specious reasoning and slippery slope sloppy thinking.

Not really. You're just succumbing to slippery slope sloppy thinking. Adding a red test and working your way up to a green test is self explanatory. Being contrarian just wastes everyone's time.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Fort Dix, is in fact, Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst, or as the DOD has recently taken to calling it, JB MDL. Fort Dix is not an army base unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning tri-force base hosted by the Air Force and including units from all six service branches.
