It decreases the score. It doesn't increase the score. An increase would be harmful. The beta is negative. The abstract is wrong.

It is not worthless. For good sleep, potassium levels have to be adequate. Once one improves the level, one can move on to other factors.

As for what works for me, avoiding caffeine after 12 pm helps, as does sunlight exposure in the daytime.

With regard to a supplement stack, these help: collagen hydrolysate 12g, magnesium citrate, calcium, B6 as P5P, melatonin 4 mg, L-theanine 100-200 mg, and various sleep promoting herbs.

Ensure your BP is optimal, well below 120/80 for most people under 70.

Uncorrected acid reflux too worsens sleep, but avoiding consumption in the last three hours and also famotidine help.
The information is decentralized (a hundred million different sources...), just not the infrastructure.
I think the question is actually asked incorrectly in the reverse.

Maybe start with the not at all controversial position that China is effectively an authoritarian dictatorship who is well known to use censorship and public manipulation as one of its key levers of control and then ask if you have any evidence whatsoever that for some reason they wouldn’t include TikTok in that mix?

The way actual professionals in the field look at this problem is through a lens of:

1. Do they have the capabily to take this specific action? (A resounding yes)

2. Do they have the intent to take this action? I mean this is where you would look at literally all of the other instances where they did choose censorship over free expression and also come to a resounding yes.

3. Do they have the opportunity to take this action? Which is also a clear yes as defined by their own national security laws and other methods of control over what TikTok does.

Thats how people have come to the conclusion that it’s a legitimate threat even in the absence of some smoking gun where people wrote everything down and then conveniently leaked it for you.

At some point you have to be able to make decisions in the absence of perfect information and this is specifically how threat modelling works just to provide some context because some of the comments here are incredibly low quality.
The difference is that if your party A spends x amount of resources on negative campaigning on another party B instead of on yourself and B is only one of 4 competitors (B,C,D,E) the other 3 will stomp you.
> yet to prove to be useful

I don’t understand this perspective. It should be abundantly clear at this point that these systems are quite useful for a variety of applications.

Do they have problems? Sure. Do the AI boosters who breathlessly claim that the models are super intelligent make me cringe? Sure.

But saying that they’re not useful is just downright crazy.

> Charge the consumer of energy the requisite price. If you want to make them pay for some externality, great.

> And it is elites only as poors don’t give a shit

The poor people are also consumers; raising prices of energy for that group is a fantastic way to get kicked out of office even if you're an actual literal dictator.

People are complex.

The screeds you're objecting to are part of the political process to tell governments to do something, even if that something ends up being a mix of what you suggest plus subsidies for the poor, or something completely different, in any case to avoid being defenestrated
I've only ever been able to finish raw banana. I've tried raw potato but it was almost gag worthy.
I was about to comment the same. Very good book, reading it and implementing its mazes with my own features on top has been my long term casual project for a while.

I posted some examples on Mastodon. I added several features, one being running the algorithms “by step” so that not only can it be easier to debug but it can be animated too.

You talk about eating marks. I presume soon maybe age 17 or 19 you will have a lot more choice over what you study and programming could be part of that?

If you can't do a week straight do X hours per week that is manageable. Breaking stuff down into chunks you can do like that is a good meta skill for programming. (For most of us... geniuses may be different!)
I like netbox, had it deployed for quite a while. It's performance was abysmal and I had to shape my world around how they wanted things.

This is the usual case of "We need X and Y does X", but ignoring that Y also does Z,M,Q and washes dishes and you really don't need those things.

Sometimes building what you need is the easiest solution, specially when what you need is CRUD infront of a DB...
Does every random system automatically picks up Yubikey? Does SSH on all platforms find that key?
Would they? My understanding is that all their issues stem specifically from dealing in information the government has explicitly classified, rather than simply speech the government doesn't like. You can spend all day ranting about Uncle Sam on the internet, how the President is the worst person ever, etc etc, and the feds really couldn't care less, which is a _sharp_ contrast to China, where you can't share pictures of Winnie the Pooh because some wag once said they thought Xi looked like him.
> These can be measured for averages. Lots of cars with one person in them

Sure, but the point should be that we should strive to share cars, not that it's okay to take the plane! Especially given the second argument which is that you don't drive 1000km every time you take your car. The footprint per km is not enough: when you take the plane you typically go much further!

> Probably, yes; last year passed the threshold

That, plus the IPCC scenario that keeps us under 1.5C says that in a few decades, not only we won't be extracting any carbon anymore, but we will be pumping carbon underground faster than we are extracting it now! And that's with the IPCC models which tend to be optimistic (we measure that every year)!

> 14 because it would take 14 years for the exponential — seen for the last 30 years — for PV to replace all forms of power consumption

And you would have to take into account that PV today entirely relies on oil. We are going towards a world with less and less oil, and we don't know how it will impact our capacity of production for PVs. But probably it won't help.

> In so far as your bracket, sure; but there's a huge gap in what equipment you would need.

Sure. It was a quick way to say that the combination of humidity and temperature will be such that sweating won't help humans regulate their temperature. And when we can't regulate our temperature, we die. By any account, this means that billions of people will have to relocate, which means global wars (with entire countries moving with their entire armies).

Now of course that would be infinitely better than trying to live on Mars, which is why it is preposterous to even consider Mars.

That's an incredible amount of meat. That's 400g a day per person. I can't even eat that much meat in one go without feeling the meal is seriously unbalanced. Half that is a meat heavy meal for me. So that must mean a significant number people are eating huge amounts of meat for every meal. That or the waste is huge.

I agree overall with your analysis. Nonetheless when one says that there is good evidence for something, rather than that there is good circumstantial evidence or that there are very reasonable grounds to assume something, one is making a different claim.

We must also ask whether circumstantial evidence or reasonable assumptions alone should be enough to force a company to divest its assets.

They don't have to sell imagery, or intend for it to be publicized, for it to have the effect of driving demand for such imagery.

The motives and situational dynamics of pedophiles filming child pornography, and gangs robbing or carjacking people on video in broad daylight, may be different in some ways, but in some ways they're not: both get direct benefit from the crime, regardless of the recordings; in both cases some (small) subset of people interested in watching the recordings may become more inclined to act out what they see, if it aligns with an already existing inclination toward pedophilia or violent crime. That's independent of whether they can make money or become famous for the crime, although money or infamy as additional motive is an additional problem.
All the questions I come up with that are both narrow enough in scope to reasonably do in an interview and get unhelpful answers from an LLM end up being trick questions for humans too, which is not really fair or productive.

What's particularly frustrating is that I've got some actual unsolved algorithms problems I want a solution to. One might think that since the LLMs are smart enough to re-solve problems from their training data in interviews, they could help - alas, they have been of no help so far.
Rawweb is very cool! Curious, have you implemented your own crawler, RSS parser and search engine?
It wouldn't surprise me if they picked who would be included based on which drugs should be relatively price flexible yet cost a lot. I've noticed that ozempic/wegovy prices have dropped in many markets recently, even price controlled ones, especially compared to Mounjaro, as the latter is seen as more effective and in short supply and has fewer generics available still.

In fact, by introducing new multi-dose versions to different regions, I'm starting to see Mounjaro prices reportedly double for some. The real kicker is that for some brands/doses the price doesn't vary whether you get more or less of the drug - so people end up asking to for a prescription to the highest dose off-label and then split the dose themselves.

For example, you can click the auto-injector pen a fewer number of clicks to measure out a smaller dose than what is normally injected by the pen, then relatively safely save it in the fridge for longer than recommended even without preservatives (some pens have and some don't).

It's frustrating when pricing decisions are made assuming insurance benefits and yet insurance isn't always available, e.g. unemployment. This thinking even applies in places that do regulate drug prices. But hey, you can always sign up for the manufacturer's discount program to get it cheaper, so, win-win right?

"In 2023, for instance, Canada released recommendations that people limit their alcohol consumption to two drinks or fewer per week—that's down significantly from the previously recommended limit of 10 drinks per week for women and 15 drinks per week for men."

That 2023 recommended level of consumption I'd reckon would be on or around par with the level of ethanol that's naturally produced as the result of digestion.

Question: allowing for normal variability between individuals, how much ethanol does the average human produce per week in milliliters?

Knowing this figure would allow those of us who aren't involved in such research to put this recommendation into perspective (we could compare the amount of body-produced ethanol with that of a 'standard' drink).
If RSS could solve the problem it would have done so a decade ago.

The core issue is that browsers have completely failed at offering anything to keep track of websites. Why aren't notifications simply build into the bookmark system? I don't need the website to provide that information via yet another special format, my browser should be able to figure that out itself from plain .html. But bookmarks haven't changed one bit in about 30 years, instead we moved that functionality server-side for no reason.
Just buy a smartwatch, duh.
> It's also not necessarily the case that we can reinstate old burn practices successfully.

I thought I saw somewhere that they actually planned to do burns but determined that it was so dry they couldn't do it safely. I couldn't really blame them for not endangering people's lives and waiting until the situation improved and the burns could happen safely, it just sucks that the fires happened before it could be done.

I guess that depends how hot you fry it.
Per 100g ground beef is 300+mg of potassium

No carbs, no sugars, no fiber induced bloating, could easily get more than 100g into a meal

My understanding is potassium also competes with salt in the body
450k tax-free, too, because it's a cost saving and those aren't taxable*.

Myself I've not driven at least since late 2017, thanks to excellent and cheap public transport; even before the Germany-wide €58/month ticket, the more expensive Berlin-AB ticket that I used to get was much much less than your $15k/year.

Do most people plan like that?

> I've been advocating for [X], and you should too

This seems like what we should do against negative trends. I think complaining is more common, probably more accepted (?) than advocating, but logically, the latter is what we should do.
I don't agree with the arguments of the author: you can still use a Yubikey (or multiple Yubikeys as a backup) - which is a far more secure option than letting anyone on the internet guess an authentication factor that can be easily cloned (password).

No matter your solution, but exposing password-based SSH on the internet is a very bad idea IMHO
Yes, this.

GPG supports smartcards (yes, the plastic smartcards) since ages. The Yubikey will appear as a smartcard on GPG and will work on pretty much sny setup.
I guess there's another in-between step buying your own hardware, even when merely "leasing individual racks", and EC2 instances: dedicated bare metal providers like Hetzner.

This lets one get closer to the metal (e.g. all your data is on your specific disk, rather than an abstracted block storage, such as EBS, not shared with other users, cheaper, etc) without having to worry about the staff that installs the hardware or where/how it fits in a rack.

For us, this was a way to get 6x performance for 1/6 of the cost. (Excluding, of course our time, but we enjoyed it!)

> P.S., I swear the certification PDFs used to include this information (e.g., https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/iso-27018?hl=en) but now these are all behind "Contact Sales" and some new Certification Manager page in the console.

This is not good, I can't think of any actual reason to hide those certificates.

For comparison, AWS makes their ISO-27001 certificate available at https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/iso-27001-faqs/ and also cites the certifying agent, most of which have a search page from where you can find all the certificates they've issued.
I recently had a popular post on HN and several people reached out asking if I had an RSS feed implemented.

Was surprised that anyone would be interested in keeping up with my writing, but was happy to oblige the request as it had been on my to-do list for a while. Happy I did do as it seems many people are hitting the RSS endpoint now. Cool to see that RSS is relevant in 2025, and will definitely advocate for its usage more moving forward :-)
There are browser extensions that block shorts. You can also block all algorithmic suggestions. I uninstalled the YouTube app ages ago and wish I'd done it sooner.
Japan and South Korea are in no sense satellites. They are strong rich liberal democracies that choose to stay in an alliance with the US because it makes sense for them.

Ukraine may be a flawed liberal democracy but it is a liberal democracy. Ukraine will join the EU after the war. The rebuilding EU subsidies and anti corruption measures that will need to take place to join the EU will significantly grow the economy.

The end goal is the defeat of Russia and then giving up conquering their neighbors. And that Ukraine will remain a liberal democratic state.

Zelensky will be out of office someday, he's not a dictator like Putin. Some of the debt will be forgiven the rest will be repaid someday. A state has a long lifespan and can repay large loans over that lifespan especially if the economy significantly improves. It may take a 100 years
well, it's really not about the destruction of the planet but making our habitat more hostile and humans more sick.

sure, STEM will continue to find remedies and cures but at some point we're fucked just because the gene pool was reduced to an unnaturally selected bunch that survived & thrived completely alienated from the actual world.

sure, no biggie, wahaha, that's the name of the game, the old will die, the young repeat the same nonsense and that microbiome and all that other stuff we carry with us as hosts, potentially most likely in a beneficial symbiotic relationship, have no implicit mechanisms to cancel the contract and pivot towards some species or other that won't be d u m b enough to shit all over it's own home & garden, consequently ruining the bio-chemistry with the smell, taste and look of feces everywhere - in the body as well as outside - and all that while it's getting a bit hot in here.

and I doubt that the consequences of controlled demise in a deteriorating environment all while the meds and drugs of leadership and the people fade out quite a few of the brains and the bodies implicit reactions to a lot of sensory perceptions to everything that was vital, crucial to notice for a 'million' years can't be projected to at least some degree. I mean "blindspots" are a thinking tool, after all, but those thinking brains and minds believe in black swans and the better angels of our nature so that doesn't really mean a thing.

the population itself is fine, a habit of psycho-social education and all consecutive upper levels being insanely afraid of competition and insights from below. thing is, whatever financial survival schemes people are running, they all have death cult written all over their faces.

btw, most of this was for fun, I'm really not worried at all. climate change is more a cycle than man-made acceleration. my only point of interest is the deterioration of the species due to all the things that we do and then worry more about the habitat than our and all kinds.

we absolutely can turn the planet into a conservatory. through any climate.

For the booster I think it’s fairly well established that it’s cheaper to reuse it. It’s not that hard on a booster to come down again, and it doesn’t seem like it’s that much work for SpaceX to refurbish their boosters.

For the upper stage it still remains to be seen. Having the upper stage return from orbit is a lot harder, as we’re seeing with the Starship. You need a lot of thermal protection. Maybe flaps depending on the design.

Jeff Bezos mentioned in a recent interview that for the upper stage they’re working on a reusable and a cost reduced version of the upper stage in parallell. They can’t determine yet which will end up being cheaper. That tells you something about how hard it is to do second stage reuse.

Rocket Lab has shown with the Neutron rocket what’s possible if you’re really innovative with optimising for cost on the second stage. Their second stage will probably be cheaper than the satellites they send to orbit
