Huh. I am admittedly neither a doctor nor chemist, but I was told this by a doctor, and anecdotally bananas seem to help me with reflux. Looking on the web, there does seem to be conflicting advice.
For the addresses it might be a bit easier because they are a lot more structured and in theory and the vocabulary is a lot more limited. I’m less sure about medical notes although I’d suspect that there are fairly common things they are likely to say.

Looking at the (admittedly single) example from the National Archives seems a bit more open than perhaps the other two examples. It’s not impossible thst LLMs could help with this
Yes, but there was usually a fall-back mechanism where an unrecognized address would be shown on a screen to an employee who would type it so that it could then be inkjetted with a barcode.
You have multiple type of food addiction. Most are hormones dependent. For some people, it's linked with insulin, and they will crave carbs, and probably modern diet doesn't help.

Mine is linked to grahlin, I'm just always hungry. Painfully so too (at least it used to be). Do you have a friend who doesn't like to eat, sometimes forget to, and only do so to avoid hypoglycemia? I'm the opposite, I produce too much grahlin, too fast. The weird part is that the more you eat/fatten, the more your hormone production increase.

My solution was regular, multiple days fast. Not calorie reduction (which was slightly painful, and very hard to follow), but full on fast, where the first two days are impossibly painful, but then your body start to ignore grahlin, and the last 3-5 are pretty much OK (hypoglycemia is an issue though, I did it with a doctor). And of course, more fibers in the diet (reducing milk-based products and meat helped).
When I was in college I’d call up datacenters pretending to be a prospective customer and schedule a tour. I was totally fascinated by them and knew enough to sound legit, it was like going to an amusement park for me.

Update: Found the term (with dash) used in SIGGRAPH 1988 course notes from Don Greenberg: "Physically-based rendering methods: A Radiosity Approach":

https://books.google.com/books?id=Vw1DAQAAIAAJ&q=%22physical...

I see the term without the dash used in 1994 in Eurographics Computer Forum "A Theoretical Framework for Physically Based Rendering":
https://www.cs.rpi.edu/~cutler/classes/advancedgraphics/S11/...

In 1994 siggraph paper by Greg Ward, https://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/papers/sg94.1/Siggraph1994a..., the term is explicitly described in a footnote:

'The term "physically-based rendering" is used throughout the paper to refer to rendering techniques based on physical principles of light behavior
for local and global illumination.'

I defer of course to mattpharr if he cares to comment! :)

FWIW, I asked Claude to translate and compare its translation to this as well as Google Translate. I then pasted top threads from this page, and asked it to retranslate the original.

First:

Hello, today I'll be teaching you about the 12 Inner Base build. I'll explain the types of 12 Inner Base builds, their advantages and disadvantages, and give you a detailed but simple breakdown of the build order.

Against Protoss, this is a build you use when you want to start with a more economical opening. Against Terran, there are several builds you can do with a 12 Inner Base. I'll explain some of the most commonly used builds.

The first is the Two Hatchery build that starts with 12 Inner Base. The order is:
- 12 Inner Base
- 11 Spawning Pool
- 10 Gas
This build utilizes early gas. It's commonly used when you want to quickly transition into Three Hatchery play with three gas bases.

The second build is:
- 12 Inner Base
- 12 Pool
- 12 Gas
This gives you moderately fast tech tree progression and moderately fast Three Hatchery expansion. This build is commonly referred to as the 'Safe Three Hatch.' You can think of it as a build that gives you both fast Mutalisks and fast three base play.

>>> Then, post HN comments:

Hello, today I'll teach you about the 12 Natural build [note: actually 앞마당/frontyard in Korean StarCraft terminology, seemingly transcribed as 안마당]. I'll explain the types of 12 Natural builds, their advantages and disadvantages, and give you a simple but detailed breakdown of the build order.

Against Protoss [토스/Toss in Korean], this is a build you use when you want the most economic opening. Against Terran, there are several builds possible with a 12 Natural. I'll explain some of the most commonly used ones.

The first is the Two-Hatchery build [투에처리, should be 투해처리] that starts with 12 Natural. The order is:
- 12 supply: Natural expansion
- 11 supply: Spawning Pool
- 10 supply: Gas
This build utilizes early gas. It's commonly used when you want to quickly transition into a Three-Hatchery build with three gas bases.

The second build timing is:
- 12 supply: Natural
- 12 supply: Pool
- 12 supply: Gas
This gives you a moderately fast tech tree and moderately fast Three-Hatchery expansion. This build is commonly known as the 'Safe Three-Hatch' [안 3에처리 in Korean], and you can think of it as a build that enables both fast Mutalisks and fast third base.

macOS has two things going on -- FDE (i.e., same as BL) which is auto-unlocked on boot up. What is protected by the user's password is FileVault encryption, but that's home directory protection only.

The resale values are only low compared to the inflated COVID prices. A 3 year old Tesla 3 goes for about $25k. Which is painful if you paid $70k for the 3. However, the buyer is comparing to a new 3 which you can get for $35k after tax credit.

The opposite will occur when Trump cancels the credit.

> Ozempic will not make America healthy again

Will it help a significant net number of Americans be healthier? If so, then it should be made available to those people.

> You will have to look into lifestyle choices

That's not being questioned, is it? Who doesn't understand that exercise and eating well is better than not exercising and eating garbage all day?
Umm.. No and no. Belts need to be changed at some service interval, usually 100k SI units. If you don’t do it, a ripped belt wreaks havoc on the engine. Chains are typically installed for the life of the engine, and need to be changed only if it’s a problem.

A caveat though. I used to have a Škoda Fabia with a chain drive, and I did end up changing it, as it started making the tell-tale sound when stop-go.

In the context of hybrids though, I fully expect that chain to last the lifetime of the engine. The engine is under significantly less load than in a traditional ICE, so less stress on the chain. Also, for 100k mileage, the motor-hours that the engine has worked are less than in an ICE due to the engine regularly being off.
Maybe not by 90% but by a significant amount. Just doing a quick google for the userbase of TT by country and the US is the largest market with ~113M users [1]. What would happen to any company if their largest userbase just vanished overnight?

I’ve heard of such models, but the problem is apparently maintaining quality (from the people I know who have tried this).

Drivers often need firing. How would a co-op approach that?
I believe that is the previous generation. Their naming is confusing.
> I can’t understand this design. You should derive the disk’s encryption key from the user’s login password.

In practice, this is not a good idea at all because no matter what you do, people will forget their passwords all the goddamn time. Back when I was doing freelance IT support, 90% of calls were "help, I forgot my password" - easy money lol, boot it up with MSDaRT or cmd+r on Macs, but nowadays... impossible to recover from if you don't have the recovery key.
> Of course, if it's not real VRAM, it needs to be at least somewhat close on the latency and bandwidth front

It is close to VRAM*, just not close to DRAM on a conventionally designed CPU. This thing is effectively just a GPU that fits in a CPU slot and has CPU cores bolted to the side. This approach has the downside of worse CPU performance and the upsides of orders of magnitude faster CPU<->GPU communication, simpler programming since coherency is handled for you, and access to substantial amounts of high bandwidth memory (up to 512GB with 4 MI300As).

> It doesn’t have to literally be your password. It could be some one-time proof that the user entered the correct password.

But that means the user is using a different password... so you may as well use a TPM PIN.
> you implied that 1/3 of muslims would be willing to kill…

I implied no such thing. I was referring only to Palestinians (the 'other bunch'). The vast majority of who will indeed slaughter you if they decide they are offended.

I'm bemused why anyone thought I was talking about Muslims in say Sarajevo or Indonesia. Identity-obsessed much?
I get a completely different take. To me, it's empowering to young individuals, especially (I would guess) young females because the main character is a very strong self-driven female.
I had the exact same experience when I tried to contribute last week. I had to jump between multiple sessions and browsers and eventually managed to log in after about 30 minutes of trying. There is no indication of what is going right or wrong. Once you're in the UI changes very little as well so it's quite easy to miss that you've managed to log in.

Once I was logged in I spent another 45 minutes trying to find a document to transcribe. Every single one I found or was given from a challenge had either already been transcribed or was a typewritten document or manifest that the OCR had already done an OK job with. I reviewed a few documents for accuracy, closed the browser, and never went back.

It's a shame it's so hard to use. I really was hoping for something I could pop open for 15-30 minutes a day as a break from work and contribute to instead of doing a crossword or watching a video.
I’m with you in general. Though, with the amount of electronics and “computer-complexity” that modern ICE cars have, I’m not sure there’s a meaningful difference!
You might be interested in Subvert, a group of people (formerly?) from Bandcamp that are now founding a worker-/artist-owned version of Bandcamp and launching the platform soon. They basically want to avoid running into the same issues that came with Bandcamp’s recent ownership changes and the instability and worker-facing hostilities around it.

They also published a magazine explaining their thinking behind the setup, etc. – you can find out more on their website: https://subvert.fm/

Could be interesting to check out, even if just for inspiration or fun.
If you want kubernetes just for autoscaling, you can just use deployment with autoscaling. It's probably few 10s of lines to do this. And 10 lines for service/ingress.

In fact the complain that you need to learn helm or networking or auth or CRDS is unfair. If you don't want all the goodness of helm you can do it the old fashioned way, ie creating your own docker container and using deployment.
i'm trying to do this with https://bookhead.net and https://sweetclay.net. i'm prototyping the coop with sweet clay bc the business is a side hustle and good for experimenting. and then i'll apply it to bookhead since that business has more earning potential and i wanna get the membership stuff right before risking that. setting up the legal stuff takes money that i could use for other stuff that could maybe bring revenue, so it's tricky situation, especially if you need labor asap. and it takes time to research/design governance and equity etc.

i wish there was stripe atlas for coops if anybody would like to start a new cooperative. i emailed the stripe PM asking for this and they said it's not on their roadmap. businesses in america are designed to be organized as capitalist enterprises so there are some extra things a coop needs to do which takes time and money.

would be cool to make an open source "stripe atlas for coops" project and help other coops start up. i'm too busy right now but could do the project if i had some collaborators. email me sam@bookhead.net if you're interested in a project like this.
I was working some time ago on a 4X with an hexagonal map (not only made of hex tiles, but the overall shape was an hexagon rather than a rectangle, no wrap-around).

Using a noise function alone does not let you choose how many landmass you want to generate.

Using "wave function collapse"/constraint solvers is too slow for large maps when the amount of constraints increase (please don't put a mountain in the middle of the ocean, or a snow tile in the middle of a desert). My implementation took almost 8h to generate a single map, and the result was not even good.

In the end, I used a combination of multiple techniques:

- voronoi to split the map into regions
- use a noise function to make the regions boundaries a bit more natural
- fill the map with water tiles, place randomly some island seeds
- grow the islands from their seeds using a cellular automata
- to create continents, simply put a lot of island seeds in the same area, to generate a bigger one
- place mountains or rifts on region boundaries to simulate "tectonic plates"
- generate a heat map (influenced by position of the north/south poles and equator of the map), a humidity map (influenced by leftover ocean tiles), a height map (which is influenced by the already placed mountains/rifts) using a noise function
- using the previous heat/humidity/height maps, generate a wind map
- using the wind map, modify the humidity map (wind carries humidity over the land)

Then, choose randomly some tiles that fit some criteria to place biomes:

- desert on hot/dry land
- forest on temperate land
- swamp on temperate/wet land
- jungle on hot/wet land
- ...

Then a bunch of different cellular automata to grow the biomes naturally.

The result was quite nice, but it still wasn't on par to the map gen in Civilization games. I still want to continue this project, but I think in my heart I gave up.

FileVault 1 was home directory encryption. That hasn’t been current in ages. The current FileVault 2 is FDE using the users’ passwords as the keys.
They use a lithium battery as a base for energy density. The lightcell can use a variety of different fuels to create light in the band they want to capture. They 'lean' towards hydrogen, because it's more 'sustainable', but you can get even higher energy densities if you use petrol.
Yes, I've made LLCs with friends primarily in a profit sharing capacity according to work done as contractors, ie if the company got a client, the ones who worked on that particular project get a split of the profits after company expenses were taken into account.

I've also made and worked on some fully open source projects where the entire stack was open. I don't believe in those source avaliable licenses because you either believe in your abilities on the business side or you don't; if someone can take the exact same product and market it way better, then you honestly deserve to go out of business.

There's a lot of potential and precedence even if there isn't much discussion. It's clear that while people may not always like the market for needs like housing and healthcare, they strongly prefer it for consumer goods and services. A cooperative is a way to engage with the market without running into the problems of large for-profit enterprises.

The hard parts are:

1. capitalization - once you have investors who have more say than employees, it's no longer very cooperative

2. legal - the structures for for-profit or hierarchical non-profits are well defined and there are any number of experienced law firms that can help structure a business, while for a cooperative not so much

3. structural - there are a thousand books published every year about for-profit businesses. There are comparatively few about starting and running a cooperative. Although the latter have more signal than the noise of the former.

These aren't insurmountable problems, though. They've been solved before.

A cooperative Amazon would probably work best as a federation of cooperatives.

Show HN: The raw truth about self-publishing first technical book
I finally wrote about my experience of self-publishing a software architecture book. It took 850 hours, two mental breakdowns, and taught me a lot about what really happens when you write a tech book.

I wrote about everything:

- Why I picked self-publishing
- How I set the price
- What worked and what didn't
- Real numbers and time spent
- The whole process from start to finish

If you are thinking about writing a book, this might help you avoid some of my mistakes. Feel free to ask questions here, I will try to answer all.

Why assume that OCR does not involve context? OCR systems regularly use context. It doesnt require an LLM for a machine reading medical forms to generate and use a list of the hundred most common drugs appearing in a paticular place on a specific form. And an OCR reading envelopes can be directed to prefer numbers or letters depending on what it expects.

Even if LLMs can push a 99.9% accuracy to 99.99, at least an OCR-based system can be audited. Ask an OCR vendor why the machine confused "Vancouver WA" and "Vancouver CA" and one can get a solid answer based in repeated testing. Ask an LLM vendor why and, at best, you'll get a shrug and some line citing how much better they were in all the other situations.
Do people have the prerogative to have successful industries? Do people have the prerogative to cheap energy, food, and other life basics? In the US, this is not actually enshrined anywhere, is it? The right to life simply means you roll the dice with life, doesn't it? One might say that even the beggars on the streets are enjoying their right to speech and life as we speak.

Are we afraid to list the topology of our values? A framework for comparing which values are actually superior? That's all I asked for.

Personally I think if China found the right narrative to pinpoint destroy Apple & Tesla, or moved too quickly to capture Taiwanese industry, then the US would seriously contemplate war.

If you followed the politics of the TikTok ban, it was absolutely about the content of the network.

US Congresspeople and Senators were angry that TikTok would not censor or de-emphasize pro-Palestinian / anti-Israeli content, whereas Facebook much more actively de-boosted that kind of content. All previous attempts to ban TikTok failed to gain traction, until the Gaza war began, and that issue convinced many politicians in the US to back a ban.
This is a beautiful vision, but I think it would be hard implement in practice. I’m trying to imagine how a pitch like this might work. Do you offer the customer/members some kind of profit sharing? A discount on future services?

Given that customers often want to avoid lock-in on any purchasing decision, it seems hard to build a service that has a larger up front psychological and legal commitment. I love the idea of getting bonus points in life for building structures with collaborative ownership, but realistically most people and businesses only want a simple “buy a service that I can cancel” relationship.

That said, I'd love to see someone try it! I think it could work well in a niche environment, or something like a Kickstarter where people feel they helped bring something into being.

It sounds like there's this thing "PRAL" or "potential renal acid load" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_renal_acid_load where the affect on stomach acid can be different from a food's pH.
