HFCS is 42% fructose if it's in food, and 55% if it's in a can of soda, and in that can of soda sucrose is dissociated into glucose and fructose within something like a week of being canned, because the acid in the beverage breaks the bond too. There is simply no useful distinction to make between sucrose and HFCS.

High fructose corn syrup is called that because normal corn syrup has essentially no fructose, unlike table sugar.
> Bandwidth Chicken & Egg: in order to get the unit economics around bandwidth to offer competitive pricing at acceptable margins you need to have scale, but in order to get scale from paying users you need competitive pricing. Free customers early on helped us solve this chicken & egg problem.

I'm not really sure how this works.

Suppose you have paying customers and for that you need X amount of bandwidth. If you add a bunch of free customers then you need X + Y bandwidth. But the price of X + Y is never going to be lower than the price of X, is it? So even if the unit cost is lower, the total cost is still higher and you haven't produced any additional revenue in exchange, so how can this produce any net profit?
Doing anything that uses a lot of water in a desert seems problematic to me. Water is only going to get scarcer in the west as climate change goes on.
This part is unclear to me. I know the article says "app," but this is general news reporting, and the term "web app" for stuff in the browser is acceptable terminology anyway. It also says that opening the app will redirect people to a page with information about the ban, not to the main page of the website. Prior to this discussion, I thought a ban at the ISP or CDN level was part of the plan, so a VPN would be required to circumvent it. No?

In any case, yeah, I'm not sure that "the average american tech user who has been coddled for the last decade" knows what a web browser is. I've observed some user behavior among family members that indicates a pretty bizarre mental model of how the Internet, web, and mobile applications work.

The people who want to unite Americans might find more success meeting the outliers where they're at rather than framing it as needing them to conform. That approach is what made the outliers cynics in the first place. What would it look like to make real change to address the objects, rather than the subjects of frustration?
Old is a harsh word, maybe mature would be a better fit, not everything new and shiny is gold, and yet not everything old sucks.

Not arguing here about types and Pydantic being faster than the built in ModelSerializers. However, for serializer speed improvements and performance in DRF I would advise dropping ModelSerializers and either going for Serializers or plain dict. Haki Benita has a beautiful article on that [0]. I was able to accomplish sub 200 response times on a fairly large response from tables that had tens of millions of records.

I think you have no objective reason other than your styling and rather personal preference for function based views?

That's the problem though. Your judgement gets warped by the constant stream of lies. That's the fundamental concept behind propaganda. If you repeat a lie enough times it will be believed. Everybody thinks they're too smart to be taken in by propaganda, that's one of the reasons it works so well.

I wrote a utf-8 capable (but also fully generic over element type) rope implementation in Rust last fall (edit: 2023) and the main issue I ran into was the lack of a suitable regex library capable of working across slice boundaries. With some finagling I did manage to get it to work with most/all of the other relevant iterator/reader traits IIRC, and it benchmarked fairly well from a practical perspective, though it's not as fast as some of the other explicitly performance-focused implementations out there.

I'm afraid I might not have that much free time again for a long time, but maybe when I do, somebody will have solved the regex issue for me...

I don't understand your point, the Fed is a creature of congress and its members are selected by both the legislative and the executive, but we cede enormous power by giving board members giant terms which gives them defacto independence which is insane since they have the power to make me default on my mortgage tmrw. Monetary policy is policy and all policy should go thru congress. If congress is being useless, vote them out.

I have in mind the following paper. It is called Self-Taught Evaluators (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.02666)by Meta . It is interesting as they get big improvements from LLM checking and improving solution. WDYT ? I don't know if you could generate an PR using AI with let's say Claude and then check the quality by using chatgpt or gemini.. I would be interested by knowing if that would provide quality and more trust or the opposite
I don't think that's true anymore. In NYC, at least, the people who are into Japanese culture tend to be black/Hispanic teenage girls, not the classic "basement-dwelling white guy" stereotype.

“Mediating alertness”, as in more available norepinephrine increases or deceases how alert you are?

From my experience while awake, I would assume decreases. While it’s yet to have a huge impact on my ADHD, it’s has had a noticeable impact on reducing my self-doubt and hesitance to speak up. But I’m not sure how to unify that with it reducing the quality of my sleep.

Maybe, since I’m taking it in the AM it’s wearing off at night, and thus my level of alertness in the middle of the night is being heightened. That would line up with antidotal reports I’ve read of people saying they had less sleep disruptions when they took it at night. Something I’m planning to try moving to.

It’s also possible it takes take to reach a steady state (I’ve only been taking it two weeks)
Not really. Little Redbook is like if everyone on Reddit was upper middle class instead of Reddit's low middle class. Plus Instagram daily life and friend photos. Plus TikTok algorithm videos. Plus Tumblr microblogging. We don't have a 1:1 equivalent.
Never been asked to participate in one. I am a huge proponent of the scientific method. This argument always interests me, though. (by the way, just a quick search on pubmed: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3441937/; https://www.cspinet.org/page/synthetic-food-dyes-health-risk... the EU bans some of these synthetic dyes: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/topics/topic/food-colours). Also reference the famous "Southampton six" study in 2007 which triggered evaluation of food dyes across Europe: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

As a parent, if I notice a correlation between an action and subsequent behavior, are you saying that my lived experience is irrelevant because... nobody bothered to include me in a specific double blind study? How many things do you do every day that have not been studied through exhaustive scientific research?

From my own lived experience, when one of my my kids eats a red velvet cake or a bag of Skittles or M&Ms that he's violent and crazy for a week, but if he has a few Oreos he's fine. If one of my other kids does the same thing, she doesn't have the same reaction. If I knew the exact chemical pathway that made this happen, I'd be thrilled. I am just living my life trying to parent kids in this world, and you know what, stupid bright dyes that do nothing other than make food appear unnaturally incandescent are practically impossible to avoid. So it's just one more thing that's piled on as a parent that you have to deal with.

If you ask me, this aggressive "well, you're stupid and you shouldn't trust your own eyes because science" attitude that has triggered the strong anti-authority sentiments globally. It's why objectively crazy people like RFK Jr get huge followings- I vehemently disagree with 99% of his rhetoric, especially his anti-vax viewpoints, but I totally agree with his stance on food additives such as these synthetic dyes.

I see the effects with my own eyes. Telling me I'm stupid doesn't help science, it just serves to further diminish the trust in the very institutions we need more now than ever.
Not more power but more torque with a sacrifice in velocity.
That’s right. And at the other end of that spectrum, there is what some refer to as “radical unschooling” which gives total agency to the child over the material they’ll learn. I know some radical unschoolers who’ve even ended-up in conventional schools because it was their decision. It may sound like a paradox but it happens, usually not more than a few years though, but again, depends on what’s available to them wherever they live, and also the friends/peers and what they are doing too. I think these choices come down to the child, parenting style and the environment in which the child evolves. There is no right or wrong in my opinion.

The question wasn't about party lines. It's about the distinction between political judgment and legal judgment.

That has nothing to do with partisanship.

> Also the constitution clearly gives the federal government the ability to conduct federal elections

This is literally not true. Please tell me where in the Constitution the federal government is given this authority. You won't find it, which is why all the contortions around federal authority are political in nature and not legal.

The states run 100% of 100% of the elections within their states, including the elections of the electors in the Electoral College who ultimately elect the President.

The entire opinion (and the misconception that it produces, and you relay here) is a handwavy way to say: it sure would be politically inconvenient if the legal structure actually produced this outcome. If it were a legal decision, the political considerations would be irrelevant: the law says what the law says.

Guide: How to use Moondream's free OpenAI compatible endpoint (5k queries/day)
Walking with Dante
We just rolled out OpenAI compatibility for Moondream 2B, which means that you can now seamlessly switch from OpenAI's Vision API to Moondream with minimal changes to your existing code.

Our docs, like Moondream, are open source. If you find any issues with the page, or want to suggest a change, click "Edit this page" and you'll be routed to the GitHub for the docs.

The best part is - our API is free, for up to 5k requests. There is zero friction in getting started with and trying Moondream. We are also very active on discord, so if you get stuck (or have a special request), let us know and we will be quick to help.

Looking forwards to seeing all the cool stuff that people build!

What is Moondream?

Moondream-2B is a lightweight vision-language model optimized for visual understanding tasks. It excels at answering questions about images, describing scenes, identifying objects and attributes, and basic text recognition. While more compact than larger models, it provides efficient and accurate responses for straightforward visual question-answering.

As a 2B parameter model, it has some limitations to keep in mind: descriptions may be less detailed than larger models, complex multi-step reasoning can be challenging, and it may struggle with edge cases like very low-quality images or advanced spatial understanding. For best results, focus on direct questions about image content rather than complex reasoning chains.

Since when are social media apps considered broadcasters? In fact, section 230 legally protects social media apps from the civil liabilities of broadcasting. You're also just distracting from the actual issue. Being that, as citizens of a democratic republic promoting free speech, press, association, etc., do you think we have a right to view foreign media (including broadcasts for that matter)?

From the ACLU amicus brief (linked in the article)

> Although the D.C. Circuit ostensibly applied strict
scrutiny in upholding the ban, it subjected the
government’s assertions to little genuine scrutiny in
the end

Does the author understand checks-and-balances? The DC Circuit found that Congress did a lot to try to investigate and come to an agreement with Bytedance that would resolve their concerns. After all that, it's Congress' power to decide what to do, not the courts. They are not just allowed to second-guess congress. They can only look at the "how" of the law, the "why" is largely non-justiciable. And if the goal is to stop CCP speech, through the TikTok algo, then there's really nothing to do other than ban TikTok.

Personally I think the ban is xenophobic and we should instead regulate ALL of these apps (X, Meta...) but it is legal
The point is that that you get your paid offering down to a lower price point because you have the volume to get the cheaper peering deals. Because your paid offering is cheap you get even more volume from paying customers which offsets the loss you made.
This is because gyroscopic forces are not significant except at high speed, and most of the forces relevant to cycling and which direction the bicycle goes are generated between the front tire and road surface. Turning the handlebars to change direction is also only relevant at low speed for the same reason.

The ladies who killed Kim Jong-un's uncle thought they were "making prank videos at the airport and she was required to 'dress nicely, pass by another person and pour a cup of liquid on his/her head'" [2].

Let’s be clear about one thing: it’s never about protecting the privacy of private citizens—that’s just the justification.

Social networking platforms are among the most effective tools for mass influence, second only to religion.

The U.S. has held a monopoly on this power, leveraging it to gather data on citizens worldwide and projecting our value systems onto others.

Banning TikTok is simply an effort by us to maintain that monopoly, and making sure a foreign adversary do not wield such power.
