I see I was down-voted, I was not trying to argue anything about the relative merits of different kinds of fats in food.

I was just trying to explain how I interpreted the people who did argue that replacing seed oil with butter would be good. I don't know what they base that opinion on, since (again) I'm not read up or engaged in the matter. It could be that butter is felt to be "more natural" than seed oil, and thus "healthier".

Again, I'm not arguing that standpoint, I'm just trying to explain (for some reason), hence the quotes. Oh well.

Show HN: Lost 2 years so I built a tool to validate ideas
After 5 years of entrepreneurship, I realized I spent around 2 years building products nobody wants , so I decided to build a product to help founders validate their product ideas.

I spent the last month building it and it's called FounderOdyssey.

The platform is focused on 1 goal : provide evidences of your product and business potential, with the help of useful validation tools like the Market size analyser, Reddit analyser, or Persona/interview generator.

- Follow a structured validation pattern
- Collect evidences along the project phases
- Be challenged and helped by an AI validation companion

Would love to hear your thoughts about that :)
Given how all my interactions with them have been extremely negative (see my other comment), I think it's rather likely that there is foul play.

I blog the fun of it. Back in the day, random traffic would land on your site. That happens less nowadays. It was very straightforward for search engines to pick up on you with no effort. Nowadays you have to put some effort into it. And the more effort you put in, the more effort you put in. So I don't put in much effort and just write whatever I feel like writing. Sometimes it's a couple of lines and a photo. Sometimes it's long. And it's mostly not code and stuff.

Why does that matter if that’s not how most users do it? There is no magical dividing lines between a distribution and the user choosing to install a random collection of apps on their own.

If you want to know the full picture: neither Feynman is a hero of mine (I personally think he was a bright prick), neither the original piece stirred any important ideas rather than “wow, this guy is full of self importance”.

To further complete the picture, I wrote this while sitting in the toilet, passing gas, while smoking my morning cig. Hardly the pinnacle of my day (but an adequate context for the articles quality)

It's very likely you cannot.

High-fructose corn syrup is literally a 45-55 mixture of fructose and glucose.

Table sugar, sucrose, is a disaccharide composed of 1 unit of, you guessed it, glucose and one unit of fructose. Sucrose is broken down in the gut by sucrase into a 50-50 mixture of fructose and glucose. The only difference is that sucrase takes a bit of time to break sucrose down. Not a lot, but enough to smooth out the absorption curve a little.

If you are allergic to one, you are allergic to the other.

Since glucose is key to human life, it's probably not that part.

If you have fructose intolerance, you'd probably know. It causes liver and kidney damage, and you wouldn't be able to eat much food people consider ordinary. If you have fructose intolerance you cannot eat sucrose either. You'd be pretty much relegated to sugar alcohols for sweeteners like sorbitol.

This was exactly my experience being the ML engineer on a predictive maintenance project. We detected broken traffic signs in video feeds from trucks; first you segment, then you classify.

This tracks with my experience.
We built a complex processing pipeline for an NLP classification, search and comprehension task. Using vector database of Proprietary data etc.

We ran a benchmark of our system against an LLM call and the LLM performed much better for so much cheaper, in terms of dev time, complexity, and compute.

Most probably as part of the agreement of being bought by Notion, to prevent competition.
This is a great list - I was wondering if there was a less research oriented, more experimental or practical reading list that you're planning as well - some things off the top of my head:

- Actual examples of Fine tuning of LLMs or making merges - usually talked about in r/localLlama for specific use cases like role playing or other scenarios that instruction tuned LLMs are not good at. Jupyter notebook or blog post would be great here.

- Specifically around Agents & Code generation - Anthropic's post about SWE-bench verified gives a very practical look at writing a coding agent https://www.anthropic.com/research/swe-bench-sonnet with prompts, tool schema and metrics.

- The wide amount of Loras and fine tunes available on civitai for image models - a guide on making a custom one that you can use in ComfyUI.

- State of the art in audio models in production - Elevenlabs seems to still be the best for closed platforms, but there are some options for open source voice cloning, TTS, or even text to speech with very small parameter models (kokoro 82M).
Sure, MS could purposefully try and make their first party games not run on Linux.

> RRT2 is my all time favorite game, and has yet to find a spiritual successor in my heart.

Aside from OpenTTD, the only games that come to mind are more modern in both their looks and how they play, but they might be worth a shot regardless.

Transport Fever (1 and 2) - the first game can be found for cheap, the second game has quite possibly the best UI of any game in the genre, plus you get trains, trucks, boats and planes, large and pretty maps with towns that develop into proper cities over time.

Mashinky - a more grid based game with trains, trucks and planes, as well as an interesting token based economy system, where you unlock new types of resources as you move along within the game world and therefore have to build out your network gradually, ensuring that everything works okay as it scales up.

Train World - a pretty recent game about trains, which has a larger scale than any of the other games I've played in the genre, might need a bit more polish but is pretty promising! It is focused purely on trains though, so is a bit more of a focused experience when it comes to actually laying out the network and setting up lines.

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic - a slightly different genre (city builder), but it puts you in charge of both the economy aspect, as well as city building (and utilities like electricity, heating, water and sewage, which can be toggled on/off), production chains of various resources to use or export, transportation for citizens and a bunch more stuff. There's a lot of different mechanisms, but it doesn't feel horribly complex if you have some time to sink into it and it's quite lovely.

Honestly I also liked OpenTTD, but couldn't really get past the UI long term, it has that classic feel sure, but just wasn't quite as pleasant to use as in some of the other games.

Campsite team, if you happen to be reading this: consider whether a more permissive license still meeting the FOSS definition, like GPL or AGPL, would better fit your needs.
GPL means that anyone who modifies the source code, or integrates it into a larger work, has to release the modified version.

So this would ensure that everyone’s contributions continue to help the wider community. As a side effect, it would also prevent anyone from using your work without releasing the source code for their project or product, benefitting open source as a whole.

The choice is obviously ultimately yours. I personally didn’t realize the benefits of GPL until recently.
And what exactly would they do?
I am not sure what your reply has to do with my comment. Be as loud as you yourself want to be. The issue with the left is the same that as the right in America. The handful of extra vocal folks set the tone. You are unable to have any real discussion as it’s too easy to quickly get labeled a racist or some other classification. If you don’t agree with a position, well you must be a nazi of some sort. That is/was the typical vocal left in CA.

The comparison of police being gestapo is just silly. In the general case police are underpaid for what they are tasked with. I am no fan of the police but it’s naive to think they are the gestapo. Severely under paid and undertrained to then have to take care of the same neighborhoods all the time. I also think your narrative of finger pointing does not really attack any of the issues. Instead of pointing fingers nobody wants to sit down and ask why certain communities have poorer outcomes than others. Poor police outcomes are a symptom of the problem, not the cause.
> people using language incorrectly isn't a reason for everyone else to start using it incorrectly also

Language is a tool for communication, a phrase that will be misunderstood is worse than useless. Where a particular usage makes a distinction that is important to convey then it may be worth preserving, but when a historical quirk merely adds confusion and inconsistency, the disappearance and ironing out of that quirk is to be celebrated.

> No, it's pretty active and certainly in live use

The last research I saw claimed otherwise.

> It's very disingenuous or ignorant to call the correct use 'historical'

Nothing disingenuous; to the best of my good-faith knowledge the older usage (certainly not "correct" given that most listeners/readers will understand it to mean something different) is not active at least in general writing (it may still be used as a term of art in philosophy, but if so I don't think that changes anything). Certainly it's a minority use.

> - does a React/frotnend engineer need to know everything about react internals to be good at their job?

Yes? Well, not everything (which I define as being able to implement React from scratch). But if you want to do good work, and be able to fix those pesky bugs which result from the arcane behavior of the framework itself, then you better know your stuff.

Besides, in practice very few people understand the most basic stuff about React. Just recently I had to explain to a veteran frontend dev what list virtualization was and why it's not a good idea to display a list of 100k items directly.
Would an EPEL package constitute a violation?
That's a different topic than whether driving is absolutely safe or not. It's been proven that it's very much not.

It's of course easy to be abstract and talk about the value of lives versus your favourite mode of transportation.

Would you have the same opinion if the deaths were concentrated to your particular branch of the human family tree? Everyone else gets to drive. Is the value proposition still as clear to you?
Doesn’t Deepseek somewhat counter this narrative?
As far as I understand, ZFS doesn't work at all with disks of differing sizes (in the same array). So if you try it, it just finds the size of the smallest disk, and uses that for all disks. So if you put an 8TB drive in an array with a bunch of 10TB drives, they'll all be treated as 8TB drives, and the extra 2TB will be ignored on those disks.

However, if you replace the smallest disk with a new, larger drive, and resilver, then it'll now use the new smallest disk as the baseline, and use that extra space on the other drives.

(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
> The function of the word "wokeness" in conservative and technology executive circles (quickly becoming the same circle) is to [...]

That's precisely the point: the function of the word "inclusive" mentioned in TFA, or several related like "diversity" was twisted for the purpose of waging culture war. (E.g. Biden had some "most diverse" team somewere, and it meant 0% men, didn't it.) The purpose of the culture war was to drop entire chain of thought not aligned with current heresy.
HEOS is amazing for the size of the dev team, which I think is a couple folks somewhere in a large garage in Minnesota[0]. The amount of things they never touch is amazing. I appreciate the stability - my HEOS 1 speaker is still working, streaming tunein and tidal without issues - but when it comes to the app, it's borderline stagnation at this point.

Black neighborhoods and china towns are anecdotes? Interesting!

It's important for you to understand that I'm not trying to convince you of anything, you already have pronouns in bio, that's like trying to explain to a religious cultist that their particular god isn't real. Ie. waste of time.

The point is to bring out the crazy out of you for everyone else to see. Which you have already done by implying that you think women, elderly and children, handicapped (ie. blind people) are a diversity group. And all countries are diverse just because they have them. LOL

And you already displayed your incessant desire to desperately scramble for some ways to fracture cohesive societies.

The point was for you to brightly manifest those malicious diversant properties and not to convert a cultist.
I never said anything about personal stuff on a work machine? I want my own hardware to have isolation between my email/banking/etc and side project programming.
> Do you mean WSS and mdadm/lvm will allow an automatic live rebalance and then reconfigure of the drive topo?

mdadm can convert RAID-5 to a larger or smaller RAID-5, RAID-6 to a larger or smaller RAID-6, RAID-5 to RAID-6 or the other way around, RAID-0 to a degraded RAID-5, and many other fairly reasonable operations, while the array is online, resistant to power loss and the likes.

I wrote the first version of this md code in 2005 (against kernel 2.6.13), and Neil Brown rewrote and mainlined it at some point in 2006. ZFS is… a bit late to the party.

Similarly, there is no evidence that the story as told by Feynman ever happened. That's my whole point.

> He could simply have engaged in poetic license, or been, horror, told by a colleague that was there.

That's exactly the problem. He likely relied on hearsay and gave a distorted picture of what cargo cults are about in general. The example he cites is neither typical, nor supported by the literature.

Look, I'm not saying we should stop using that word or something. I like it as a metaphor. At the same time, we can raise awareness of scientific facts.

If that's what the license says, fair enough, but that's not how I parsed it. This is not a software-specific license so it's not as clear as say the GPL, where there's very explicit language for source code, object code, compilation, execution, distribution, ...

Here's an excerpt from the license:

- 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public
License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide,
royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable
license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed
Material to:
- A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole
or in part, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
- B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material for
NonCommercial purposes only.

I don't understand what I'm reading in the slightest, I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

I can "produce", "reproduce" and "share" the licensed material. I'm definitely not sharing it, so if "running the code" is allowed at all, it must fall under the "produce" or "reproduce" categories. The text is pretty clear that you can only "produce" and "reproduce" it for NonCommercial purposes as well, so what does that leave me with?
I looked into it briefly, and while it may be easy at sea with a horizon reference, it becomes surprisingly hard without it (which also complicates testing). The article touches on this with the mention of the bubble sextant required at night, presumably because you can't see the horizon. You'd have the same problem over land.

The stars only give you the angle at which you're looking at the sky. If you know the angle to the center of the earth (or can relate the sky measurement to that) and the exact time, you know where you are, within the inaccuracy of your measurements. Being 1/60th of a degree (1 angular minute) off places you 1 nautical mile off.

A bubble sextant solves this by including a literal 2D bubble level. "When properly used, the bubble sextant gives good results, by which we mean an accuracy to within 5 miles." (https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1939/june/averagi...).

The obvious solution that immediately springs to mind is a tilt sensor/accelerometer. However, once you get to a useful accuracy, those start getting expensive - several hundred dollars for a 0.01 degree system, which would give you an error of about 1 km.

You'd then need a sufficiently rigid mount for everything, proper calibration (remember, some angle on your mount being 0.05 degrees off completely destroys all usefulness of your system!), and then a camera and a plate solver (software that turns a photo into sky coordinates) should give you a useful fix. I think you could build a system that gets you within a few nautical miles for about $1000 (parts, not labor).
MAGA is a nationalist movement, so obviously it doesn't apply to the whole globe, but each country (in the West and elsewhere) have their own nationalist movements.

I'm from Denmark, and we were first-movers in Europe on "anti-wokeness" since our election in 2003 (before the term existed). Interestingly, as Europe has moved more to the right in recent years, the wave has been quietly receding a bit here.

Other countries outside of the North Atlantic West also have intense nationalist and "anti-woke" movements (Duterte, Bolsonaro, Milei, Putin, etc.) which do their own anti-woke policing, sometimes literally, through law.

In general, my feeling is that the main actual threat to free speech globally is nationalist "anti-woke" movements.
